"Aji, who are you talking about?" At this moment, a slightly tired figure opened the curtain in the back room and walked out. It was Aji's mother Yue Niang, holding a baby in her arms. Full-term baby.
"Ah, aunt, excuse me." Guan Heng stood at the door without walking in. He clasped his fists and said, "A group of us were passing by and saw noon. We wanted to use your kitchen to make a fire for cooking."
"Little brother, don't be polite. Our place is the most hospitable. Please come in quickly."
The Yue Niang forced out a smile and hurriedly let everyone go home. Guan Heng was afraid that the ghost-eating tigers would frighten the women and children, so he winked. They were all left outside the house.
Although Yue Niang welcomed everyone in, served tea and water, entertained the guests attentively, and prepared meals for everyone, Guan Heng, Ruotao and Tian Lin were all very attentive and discovered something was wrong with this woman.
After a while, several people were busy making a fire in the kitchen and started chatting.
"Brother Guan, have you seen this? This Yue Niang has several scars on her face."
After listening to Tian Lin's words, Guan Heng nodded slightly: "Well, I also noticed that the scars look like they were beaten. Women are more intimate when talking and chatting. You and Ruotao will ask later if you have any difficulties. , let’s help, remember to pretend to be casual and don’t touch other people’s pain points.”
It happened that Yue Niang came outside the door at this time. She was ladling water by the water tank. When Guan Heng heard the noise, he winked at the sweet-tongued Tian Lin, who immediately went out to help. The two people chatted while working. In just a few moments, we talked about a lot of things.
After a while, Tian Lin returned to the kitchen. When she entered the door, she whispered: "There is new news. Come and listen."
According to what Tianlin learned from Yue Niang, it turned out that Fengdi Village had suffered a big change before. The day before yesterday, a group of fierce men with weapons came from nowhere and drove the young men in the village to a place to be used. Several large vehicles were forcibly pulled away.
At that time, several women, including Yue Niang, were dissatisfied that these people had kidnapped their husbands and brothers, and wanted to stop them.
Who knew that this group of people was so fierce and unreasonable that they even beat several women, and finally threatened to come back in two or three days and ask everyone to prepare 5,000 kilograms of grain to redeem the people.
The land in Fengdi Village is barren and the crops are scarce. The villagers live a barely enough life and there is nowhere to get food. Therefore, they look sad these days and worry about the safety of their loved ones.
Hearing this, Guan Heng frowned and muttered: "Abduct the young adults in the village? Without killing them... unless these weird thieves need a lot of labor to work for them!"
He wanted to ask Yue Niang about the specific situation immediately, but Guan Heng thought about it and said, "Let's do this. I'll ask her again during dinner later."
After a while, the food was put on the table. Guan Heng and the others also took out a lot of dried meat and invited Yue Niang and his son to eat together.
Ajina's child rarely eats meat because his family is usually poor, so he wolfed it down. Agou next to him laughed and said, "Well, this child is very tough, and his food is delicious. Not bad."
"Sorry, I made you laugh." Yue Niang stroked Aji's forehead, which was immersed in eating, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Children from poor families are rude when eating."
Hearing this, Guan Heng and Agou's heads were suddenly covered with black lines. They looked at each other and thought in unison: "We usually eat this way...it feels so embarrassing."
After just chatting for a few words, Guan Heng casually turned the topic to the matter of the young men in the village being kidnapped. Yue Niang's expression dimmed at this moment, and then she whispered: "Dear guests, in fact, you are just There is no need to pass by this place..."
"Young Master!" The next moment, Ruotao burst in from outside the door and said loudly: "The bamboo basket, the bamboo basket is reacting again."
"What?!" Guan Henghuo stood up and walked over in three steps at a time.
"The bamboo basket shone just now, and the general direction of the strongest reaction is to the northwest of Fengdi Village. I have sent the elephant snake bird to fly over to check." Ruotao said at this time: "It just came back."
"Quaa." At this time, the snake-like bird landed on Guan Heng's arm from the roof. He asked, "Did you find anything?"
Seeing the Elephant Snake Bird gesticulating and describing it, Guan Heng turned to Tianlin and Agou and said: "The Elephant Snake Bird means that it did not find any special monsters or ghosts from its high position, but found There are a lot of horse hoof prints and wheel crushing marks.”
"Ah?! That was left by the people who kidnapped my husband." Yue Niang cried out at this time: "I remember clearly, they went to the northwest."
"Yue Niang, let me ask you something now." Guan Heng said: "Because we have to take care of our own things, we decided to go in that direction. Do you want me to rescue your husband and the other villagers?"
"Of course I do!" Yue Niang replied without hesitation, but she whispered: "Would this be too much trouble for the guests? I..."
"No need to say any more." Guan Heng waved his hand and said: "I will definitely rescue your husband and others. Just treat it as a reward for your hospitality. Don't worry."
After saying this, Guan Heng and Ruotao turned around and ran out the door. He suddenly whistled, and the Ghost Swallowing Tiger and Rong Xuan Corpse Horse immediately ran over, roaring and neighing.
"Let's go -" Guan Heng shouted and immediately jumped on the tiger's back. He and Ruotao rushed directly to the entrance of the village. The snake-like bird screamed in the air to guide the way. A moment later, the giant tiger and the corpse horse arrived carrying them. The dense forest northwest of Fengdi Village.
"Squeak! Tread, tap, tap..." Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves running stopped. It turned out to be Guan Heng waving his hand to signal everyone to stop. He pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "We're here. It's strange. There's no footstep ahead." There are traces of seals and wheels, could it be that they flew into the sky?"
"Quack, quack." The snake-like bird called on Guan Heng's shoulder, also saying that when he just flew here, he couldn't find the other person's footprints.
"Six ghosts, spread out and look for them." After Guan Heng released the ghosts, he asked Ruotao: "Where is the bamboo basket? Is there any reaction?"
"The flashing light is still very weak." Ruotao whispered: "But the general direction should be correct."
"Uuuuuu——"
At this time, the wolf ghost suddenly screamed from the nearby grass nest, and then a rustling sound was heard, and a panicked golden-haired demon raccoon sprang out from inside. This guy had an unusually fat body and was chubby. Like a big ball, the monstrous beasts came through the air and surrounded it.
"You idiots, I told you that you were looking for traces of 'people'." Guan Heng held his forehead and sighed bitterly: "What's the use of making a fat raccoon? Should I roast it and eat it?"
