"Grandma Luo's house is on the hilltop opposite my house. You can walk with me later. I'm about to drive the sheep back to cook. Hey, it's strange. Why have I never heard of Grandma Luo before? Are there any relatives like you?"
Yang Hongyu helped the yellow dog Baicai wipe away the blood, then gently rubbed Baicai's head distressedly, and asked with his face raised.
I smiled and explained: "Xiao Yu, you don't know, your grandma Luo is the youngest sister of our grandfather's generation. She married to you from Guizhou decades ago, and has never returned to her natal family, and has never been with my grandfather again." They have also lost contact. Grandpa and the others are getting older and are not in good health, so they thought of letting us juniors come to visit my aunt, so as not to let this family relationship disappear in our generation. "
The little girl seems to be very happy with the way I call her. Xiaoyu should be her nickname, my brother, with her authentic Lancang accent, she is really popular.
She hooked her fingers at me, gesturing for me to get closer. I glanced at the well-behaved Baicai and slowly moved closer.
She said in a low voice: "Are you brothers and sisters? That sister, she looks so fierce. Please help me say something nice to her, just say that Baicai and I know we were wrong, and ask her to stop being cruel to me, okay?" ", Xiao Yu said, his eyes secretly glancing at Tang Keyun from time to time. That look was both funny and cute.
I nodded and waved to Tai Qing and the others.
"What are you doing? What did you two whisper just now?" Tang Keyun's tone was a bit strange.
Tai Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'm still a kid, so I'm not a bad person, right? Xiao Yu?"
I have to say that being handsome really appeals to all men, women and children. This guy is tall and can easily give people a sense of security.
Seeing what Tai Qing said, Xiao Yu nodded, and I immediately said: "Okay, okay, our Tang Dynasty beauty is the prime minister who can support a boat. Besides, Xiao Yu also knows that he is wrong. This Why don't you take us to visit relatives?"
Tang Keyun is a smart girl. Besides, the two of us gentlemen are trying to coax her along with her temper and analyze the pros and cons. This girl is still sensible, but she has a preconceived bad impression of Xiao Yu, so When I walked with my little baby, I still had some grudges.
Yang Hongyu is an 11-year-old girl. She has a grandfather who depends on her at home. He farms in front of and behind the house, and she is responsible for herding the three sheep that her grandfather and grandson bought after hard work.
We asked her why she didn't go to school and whether her parents didn't care about her. Unexpectedly, she didn't complain or look sad. Instead, she happily told us the reason.
"I was picked up by my grandpa. I haven't seen my parents since I was a child. Grandpa said that our home is too far from the school and he is afraid that it will be unsafe for me to go to and from school alone. Moreover, the teachers in the school teach me better than them. Don’t look at it, I didn’t go to school seriously, I know a lot of things!”
After all, she is a child. When the little girl talks about the people she is close to and respects, her joy and pride are beyond words.
We all looked at each other.
Yang Hongyu has a cheerfulness and optimism that we can hardly imagine. This may also be a kind of happiness for her.
Beauty Tang was also moved by the little girl's life experience. She no longer cared about the previous things and turned into a close elder sister.
"Xiao Yu, can you make friends if you don't go to school? You must know that children of your age should all be studying in school and have made many friends."
Yang Hongyu drove the three goats she called "Big Hair, Er Mao, and San Mao" and led us downhill while chatting with us.
Perhaps there are very few people to chat with her, but she always answers our questions seriously and expectantly.
"Well... I have a lot of friends, but they all go to school. We can only play together after school or when they have a break. I still remember that the teachers from the school came to my house and asked my grandpa to promise me to go to school. It’s just that grandpa never agreed. Later on, I never went, and I always learned things from grandpa at home, hehe.”
Ordinarily, in this era, there are very few old people like Xiaoyu and her grandfather who stubbornly refuse to send their children to school. Moreover, compulsory education has become popular. Tuition and miscellaneous fees for primary schools were exempted in 2006. Studying and going to school is no longer a burden. As for The "security issue" her grandfather mentioned is unclear.
After walking for less than ten minutes, she pointed towards an old-fashioned earthen house and said that was the aunt's house we were looking for. Xiaoyu said she would drive the sheep back first and prepare dinner later, so she stopped following us. After saying that, she looked at me, then at her dog Baicai, and asked me dubiously: "Don't lie. Oh, if something goes wrong with my Baicai, neither grandpa nor I will let you go. Baicai, let’s go!”
These seemingly threatening words came from a child's mouth. While they were a bit funny, they also made people see the child's innocence and kindness.
"How cruel must this parent be to abandon such a good child?..." Tang Keyun felt quite emotional for a while.
I felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. I was even more determined to solve the mystery behind his disappearance. Of course, what I wanted more about was to learn more about him.
Pulling back our thoughts, the three of us looked at the house that almost blended into the surrounding mountain environment, and we all felt a sense of loneliness and desolation in our hearts.
It’s not that I’ve never seen an earthen dustpan house before, but the original green and black tiles on the roof of the house in front of me have lost their original appearance. Instead, they have been replaced by long and messy weeds, and the exterior walls of the house have also been covered with dirt. The traces of time exude the luster of the mountains and rocks behind.
We stood in front of the wooden door that was coated with pulp and had cracks all over the top and bottom. We ignored the faded and cracked paper portrait of the door god on it. Through the door panel and the gap between the two door panels, we could vaguely catch a glimpse of the scene inside the house.
Bang bang bang!
Tang Keyun didn't discuss it with us and knocked on the door directly.
"Is anyone here? Is anyone here?"
This girl is sometimes much more decisive in doing things than the two elder men like us.
No one answered when we knocked on the door and called. At first we thought it was because the old man had difficulty with his legs and feet or had hearing problems, so we called a few more times. But after waiting for a long time, no one answered the door, so we wondered if he might go out and be away from home.
Out of politeness and safety considerations, we didn't dare to push the door in and had to sit in rows in front of the door.
*I’ve seen the ones with no one inside. But there was an awkward feeling in the room, something indescribably weird. How about you go in and explore? *, what kind of bad idea did the ghost girl come up with? She knew it was weird, but she still asked her buddy to explore the way! I suffered a lot in her hands, so I immediately started complaining to her.
*I think we should act more prudent and not be like reckless people. Since there are weird things inside, we should think of countermeasures to ensure everyone's safety. Don't just let me go...*
"Ah! Damn..."
The buddy was knocked backwards by a force coming out of his body. Before the word "Fuck" could be heard, two wooden doors were knocked open with a clang, and he fell onto his back in a panic...
*Damn girl, your uncle’s... Ouch! *
Just as she scolded her, a door panel probably couldn't withstand the impact just now, and scattered into several small wooden boards and fell down. Two of them hit my buddy's belly...
I stood up cursing, and that boy Tai Qing came over to help me with a smile, but my buddy saw Tang Keyun quickly put the phone into his pocket. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. It wasn’t until later by chance that I found out that this girl actually recorded a video of her brother’s embarrassment... People’s hearts are not ancient!
"I said A Fei, why are you so crazy! Look at the tatters on the front door."
This guy Tai Qing has a smile on his face, and there is a bit of blame in his words. I want to complain, but I have nowhere to complain!
"Yo yo yo, Chao Wei, what's wrong with you, pfft - weak kidneys and weak feet?" The Tang beauty went even further, even if she laughed out loud, she also attacked her personally...
This couple of dogs! I don’t have the same experience as you.
Although it was embarrassing to break someone's door, and it also seemed a bit like breaking into a house, there was no other way. The matter was at this point, so we could only take one step at a time.
I held my back and stood up with Tai Qing's help, secretly scolding the ghost girl in my heart.
Making such a big fuss was contrary to our original intention, but there was nothing we could do about it. It wasn't until I got very familiar with the ghost girl that I realized that she was trying to clear the way for my brother to get stabbed. It was simply inhumane!
The courtyard is surprisingly tidy, which is in stark contrast to the dilapidated appearance of the house. The first thing you can see is a half-person-high stone mill in the northeast corner, with debris accumulated on it and dirt and moss hanging on it. There was probably no donkey, as it looked like it had been idle for many years.
Outside the closed hall, there is an old-fashioned wash rack with washbasins, towels and other items. There are also some dried chili peppers and corn cobs hanging under the eaves, which is full of the atmosphere of life.
While we were watching, the ghost girl yelled to be careful, but because her tone didn't sound urgent or nervous, I relaxed and then felt a pain in my arm, and it was actually hit by something!
"What's wrong with you? Hey, what is this?" Tang Keyun asked when she saw me behaving strangely, and then seemed to find something.
I saw her picking up an object as big as a quail egg from beside my feet, taking one look at it, and then started playing with it with interest.
"There's a note wrapped in it!"
Tai Qing and we looked at each other after hearing this, gathered around her, and read the note together.
/Three talents, proceed with caution/
The two of them may still be a little confused, but their brothers are surprised. The Sancai on this note is probably the Sancai Association!
Could it be that the Sancai Association really pursued Cao Yazi?
The ghost girl and I warned her that there were a few strange auras that appeared and disappeared suddenly. She probably used a spell such as the Red Pot Stealth Technique to disable her five senses. From this, we can infer that it was probably the people from the Sancai Association. .
I took a few steps back and touched Tai Qing's arm with my arm, signaling that he was in danger and asking him to take care of Tang Keyun.
The boy understood, and protected Tang Keyun by his side, slowly moved closer to me, and the three of us slowly retreated towards the door.
When I came here, I only prepared two red pots for each person. They were prepared to be used as a last resort when encountering danger and escaping. After all, this thing is only effective for an hour. Gui Yatou has repeatedly stressed that over-reliance on this kind of unknown but extremely convenient red pot will not only be of no help to our own training and improvement, but will also make us develop a dependence mentality. When things happen, we only seek convenience and avoid thinking too much. .
Moreover, this thing is not completely without side effects. Not to mention that the invisibility method was researched by the Sancai Association. The birth of this red pot alone is very mysterious, and it is inextricably linked to the ghost bone rock and the living talisman of the doll grave. Relationship, the body of ordinary people may not be able to sustain the damage caused by multiple and frequent use of Akatsuki.
Zhang Renshi (Zhang Tuo) once told me that the Red Pot Invisibility Technique is an efficacious magic that can only be found in Dengxing Village. Although he used the Red Pot Invisibility Technique on me at that time, he did not teach me how to recite the incantation and urge me to do it. Later, when Mrs. Liu came to the hospital to see me, I found out from her.
"This Chihu invisibility method is indeed spread from the Sancai Association, but it is not a profound method, and there is no definition of territory. I have experimented before, and it can be used outside of Dengxing Village, but the invisibility time is not the same. Another two hours, but the effect is the same."
This is what Old Mrs. Liu said exactly, but she didn't have a way to break the Chihu invisibility method herself. She just taught me how to use it, but that's enough!
As we retreated, we glanced around the courtyard, fearing that danger might suddenly appear from somewhere.
I also have sharp eyes. From the corner of my eye, I saw a tattered bamboo bench about four or five meters behind and to the right of us moving unnaturally. My brothers immediately became alert, and the ghost girl naturally noticed it. We secretly calculated for a while. If you know the opponent's number and strength, you can't fight recklessly.
I rolled my eyes, thinking about it.
Turning around, he deliberately lowered his voice and said to Tai Qing and the others, "Let's not move around, just exit slowly. Mrs. Liu and Grandma Luo have already laid out the layout in the house and yard. Let's retreat step by step according to the route we agreed on in advance." , I will definitely be able to get out safely!"
Although my voice was low, it was still enough for the people in the courtyard to hear clearly. If nothing else, the ears and eyes of these talented people are still much smarter than ordinary people.
Tai Qing knew me well and knew that I would not have had contact with Mrs. Liu and others in advance, so he almost guessed the intention of my words.
Tang Keyun is so smart. He knew there was danger around him without saying anything. He followed our pace and retreated slowly.
At this time, the bet is that the other party is not familiar with the environment and Grandma Luo, so that it is difficult to judge whether what I just said is true or false. As long as they don't act rashly, there is a high probability that we will have a chance to escape!
Unfortunately, things often backfire.
"Grandma Luo! Sister Tang!"
A crisp and familiar shout came from the door, and my eyelids jumped. It was that kid Yang Hongyu!
I don’t know how many dangers are hidden here. You must not involve her!
"Don't come in!" I shouted before Tang Keyun could answer her.
As soon as I finished speaking, a strong wind blew past my ears. I turned around and saw Yang Hongyu, who was covering his calf and lying at the door with a face full of pain, "Ah! It hurts!".
Tang Keyun was confused by concern and quickly ran to her side, hugged her and checked her injuries.
At this time, Tai Qing also rushed to look after them. There was sweat on my forehead, and I secretly gestured to them, asking them to be ready to swallow the red pot.
Snapped! !
At this time, a roof tile suddenly fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces. I looked up and was so frightened by the scene in front of me that I almost lost my soul!
I saw a huge black object hidden among the messy long grass. Although I couldn't see the whole thing, the thing really exuded an evil and bloody aura, which made people feel chilled in their hearts.
That is to say, just when my eyes were on the black thing, I don't know if it was noticed by it, but the thing actually poked out a football-sized "thing" from the weeds and the body of the black thing. I immediately looked at it. It turned out that the thing sticking out should be this guy's head.
Because at this time, I could see clearly that a child's head had been bitten off at the neck and was held in the guy's mouth. The muscles and trachea were exposed in the air, and blood was still dripping...
"It's a hyena!" The words "Gui Yatou" pierced my sluggish mind at once, so that I didn't even think about it. I turned around like a fly and let Tang Keyun and the others take a red pot in their mouths. He closed Yang Hongyu's mouth and told her not to swallow what was in her mouth.
"The spiritual tree has a name. The spiritual fruit produces sperm. It is called Red Pot. The method is to escape Yin and Yang. Imperial decree!"
