These bodyguards have traveled all over the country and have seen a lot. They have never been humiliated like this before. You can imagine the anger in their hearts. They all have spiritual energy and can see clearly at night. Those weasels fled all the way to the north. All the bodyguards were closely guarded. After that, he pursued him relentlessly.
Changsheng felt relieved after successfully waking up the bodyguards who were bewildered by sleep. If he couldn't wake up these bodyguards this time, the weasels would definitely not let him go easily.
Seeing the bodyguards chasing the weasel to the north, Changsheng began to hesitate to stay or leave. To the north of the town were deep mountains and dense forests. He couldn't run fast enough to keep up with the bodyguards. But he didn't dare to go back to the house. There was no one in the house at this time. If the weasel came back and killed him, he would be in trouble.
Just when he was hesitating, the leading bodyguard came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Zhao Jiyu, Qiu Laoer, you go back and watch the bodyguards, be careful of someone trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Hearing the words of the leader, the two bodyguards responded loudly, stopped chasing, turned around and returned.
The two escorts were both young, Zhao Jiyu was a tall and thin man, and Qiu Laoer was a short and fat man. Seeing Changsheng standing in the middle of the road holding a gong, Qiu Laoer walked quickly and came closer, cupped his hands and fists, and solemnly thanked him. , "Little brother, it's all thanks to you this time. If you hadn't woken us up by ringing the gong, we would have fallen into the trap of those beasts."
These two bodyguards had an impression that Zhao Jiyu was the young man who greeted him when he first came in, and the one who gave him braised pork was Qiu Laoer in front of him.
Seeing Qiu Laoer thanking him, Changsheng hurriedly waved his hand in humility, and at the same time returned the gong and mallet in his hand to him.
Zhao Jiyu came later, returned the sword to its sheath, and thanked Changsheng, "Thank you so much, little master, for your generous help."
Seeing Zhao Jiyu addressing himself as a little master, Chang Sheng was embarrassed and said, "I'm really not a monk."
"Oh, little brother, little brother." Zhao Jiyu patted Chang Sheng's shoulder enthusiastically.
There were also burns and blisters on Changsheng's shoulders. After taking the photo, Zhao Jiyu felt his hands were sticky. He stopped his hands and looked closer, and his face suddenly showed solemnity. "Little brother, your burns are serious and have suppurated. You must be treated as soon as possible."
After Zhao Jiyu finished speaking, Chang Sheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, but the stinky smell on my body is not due to burns and pus, but because I smeared weasel grease on me."
"What are you doing with that thing?" Zhao Jiyu asked in confusion.
"It can relieve pain." Changsheng said.
Zhao Jiyu wanted to ask again, but Qiu Laoer on the side interrupted and said, "Let's go, don't stand on the street, we'll talk about it when we get back."
The three of them returned to the yard. Zhao Jiyu and Qiu Laoer went into the house and checked the seal of the box to make sure that it had not been tampered with. Then they felt relieved and chopped wood to add fire to the bonfire.
After encountering such a strange thing, both of them were in shock. They wanted to drink to calm down the shock, but found that the wine bags had been bitten by weasels, but they still had unopened ones, so they took out a jar and poured wine.
Changsheng originally wanted to return to the west wing under the eaves, but the two of them left him beside the bonfire and insisted on offering him a bowl. However, wine is hot and people who have been scalded or burned should not drink. Changsheng only said that he did not know how to drink. , politely declined.
Before, Changsheng and them had just met by chance and had no friendship, and they didn't care about Changsheng's origins. Now Changsheng helped them a lot. They were grateful and asked Changsheng where he came from and where he was going.
Changsheng only said that he was from Qizhou and was going to Yuzhou to visit his relatives.
Hearing Changsheng's words, the tall man Zhao Jiyu said, "Yuzhou is far away from here. We are going to Xingzhou this time. Although the road is different, we can give you a ride."
Chang Sheng did not immediately express his position after hearing this. At present, the war is in chaos. It will be much safer if he can travel with these escorts. What's more, it can take at least five days of walking by car in one day, which can save a lot of time. But he doesn't know the Taiping Escort Bureau and Taiping Inn. Whether there is any connection or not, I dare not agree easily.
After Zhao Jiyu finished speaking, Qiu Laoer, the short and fat man, also echoed the words and persuaded him together.
Changsheng was vague and did not comment.
Seeing Changsheng Duo's hesitation, Qiu Laoer didn't know why. He thought he was worried about being robbed when traveling with the escort team, so he said, "Little brother, you can rest assured, the escort agency is not the same as the escort agency. Our Taiping Escort Agency is under Taiping Inn, whether you are a man in the world or a hero in the jungle, you have to give us some face, and you will be very safe when you travel with us."
Hearing Qiu Laoer's words, Chang Sheng felt a shiver in his heart. His worries were not unnecessary. This Taiping Escort Bureau was originally run by Taiping Inn. Taiping Inn must be looking around for the whereabouts of him, Batulu and others, and with this group of If you are traveling with an escort, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?
Chang Sheng pretended to relieve himself and changed the subject. After he came back, he chatted with the two of them casually. He was curious about how knowledgeable the escort was, and whether he had encountered similar things before.
Zhao Jiyu and Qiu Laoer were both young and had a bold and casual temperament. When asked by Changsheng, they said that they had encountered strange and weird things before, but they were just Taoists driving corpses back home and ghosts breaking walls. Getting lost, this is the first time I have encountered something like this tonight.
However, although this was their first encounter, it was not the first time they heard about it. There have been obviously many more rumors about monsters and ghosts in recent times, but the rumors are just rumors. You can't tell whether they are true or not unless you see them with your own eyes.
Changsheng knew that his body smelled bad, so he did not sit with the two of them. Seeing that he did not drink, they brought him some dry food. Seeing that he did not carry a water bag with him, they gave him a bottle of water. Bamboo tube.
After Changsheng thanked him, he took the dry food and bamboo tube back to the eaves of the west wing. While eating the dry food, he thought about whether he dared to go with this group of escorts for a few days.
Halfway through the second update, the group of escorts who had left earlier came back, all with gloomy faces and solemn expressions.
Seeing everyone returning, Zhao Jiyu and Qiu Laoer hurriedly stepped forward to ask for the result. Their faces changed drastically and they were frightened by everyone's answers. It turned out that they had chased a few weasels all the way to the back mountain, and found a large number of them in the valley of the back mountain. There were hundreds of corpses, including men, women, old and young. They were undoubtedly the people who originally lived in the town.
The death appearance of those corpses was miserable and strange. The wounds on all the corpses were located on the neck. They were all bite marks, but they were two completely different bite marks. One type had smaller bite marks, but the wound was larger, drilling into the neck and emptying out the brain.
There is also a kind of bite mark that crosses the left and right sides. There are two chopstick-sized blood holes on the left and right sides of the neck. The brains of the corpses with this type of bite mark are still there, but they are haggard, like mummies, as if all the flesh and blood have been sucked out of the body. Done.
This first situation can be explained. It is consistent with the habits of weasels. Weasels have a special characteristic. If they get into a chicken coop, they will bite all the chickens in the henhouse to death. They bite the necks, and they also eat chicken heads. Habit.
But the second situation cannot be explained. It is certain that it was not caused by weasels. It can be seen that in addition to the three weasels, there is another terrifying monster hidden in the back mountain.
Previously, all the bodyguards were chasing after them, but not a single weasel was killed. They all ran away. Worried that an accident would happen if they stayed here, the leader of the bodyguards gave an order, and everyone separated to pack up and set off overnight.
The leader of the escort was a middle-aged man named Zhu. While the escorts were packing up their horses, the escort leader Zhu came over and thanked Changsheng. He saw with his own eyes the tragic scene in the back mountain valley. The escort leader Zhu knew very well that if Changsheng stood by and watched them. What would happen to him, so he spoke in an extremely solemn tone, clasped his fists in salute, and thanked Changsheng for his life-saving grace.
Changsheng had been treated coldly since he was a child, but he had never received such courtesy before. He was nervous and frightened, waving his hands repeatedly, saying that he had actually done nothing, not to mention that Qiu Laoer had given him braised pork before, and everyone When in danger, he should do something within his ability.
Zhu Biaotou was grateful to Changsheng for saving his life, but he was also puzzled as to why those weasels were tempting him. Changsheng could only tell him again that he was smeared with weasel grease.
After listening to Chang Sheng's narration, the escort leader Zhu suddenly realized that he was the escort leader after all, so he thought more carefully. He picked up the pottery jar placed aside and smelled it to make sure that there was some smell in it before he became convinced.
Not long after, everything was packed and everyone drove on the road.
Changsheng was originally hesitant to go with the others, but when he learned that the three weasels were still alive, and there were other monsters in the back mountain, he dared not stay here alone, so he could only go on the road with the bodyguards.
There must be people in the world who repay kindness with hatred, but there are still many people who appreciate kindness and kindness. Changsheng saved the lives of these escorts. Everyone was grateful and warm to him. They didn't mind the bad smell on his body and invited him warmly. After getting on the first carriage, I found a change of clothes to change with him.
Changsheng was burned to such a state that the bodyguards could not help but ask why. Changsheng did not hide anything and told the truth.
After listening to Chang Sheng's story, Zhu Biaotou let out a long sigh, "They say they don't raise their hands to hit a woman without a wife, and they don't open their mouths to curse foreigners. The Beggar Clan actually doesn't even spare the victims in distress. It's really unscrupulous."
"Poverty breeds treachery, wealth breeds conscience, what good things can a group of lazy beggars do if they don't work hard..."
"I am poor and I am justified. I am poor and my boss is really shameless..."
"Have we not seen enough of the beggar gang's art of harvesting and cutting? Nine out of ten beggars with missing arms and legs were made by them..."
Hearing the words of the escorts, Changsheng had a good impression of them. It seemed that Taiping Inn was not all bad people. The shopkeeper on the second floor named Song Bao did not actually want to take the master's life. He was just speculating on making money and taking advantage of the opportunity.
Knowing that Changsheng was going to Yuzhou, Zhu Biaotou immediately expressed his position and found the fork in the road leading to Xingzhou, and sent two people to personally take him to Yuzhou.
Hearing Zhu Biaotou's words, Changsheng Haosheng was frightened and refused again and again.
"That's it, you saved our lives, we should repay you," Zhu Zhutou said and turned to look back, "Zhao Jiyu, Qiu Laoer, when the time comes, you two will bring the escort flag and catch up. A car will take my little benefactor to Yuzhou."
The two shouted yes when they heard this.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Changsheng could only say thank you repeatedly. Besides being happy, he was more relieved. It is true that good people are rewarded, so they should do more good deeds.
Worried that the monster would catch up, the convoy moved very quickly. At first, everyone was chatting with Chang Sheng. Later, seeing that Chang Sheng was sluggish and sleepy, they took a blanket to wrap him up and let him lean on it. Rest in the wooden box with your eyes closed.
Although Changsheng closed his eyes, he did not fall asleep immediately. The escorts looked around cautiously while chatting casually. The content of the conversation was nothing more than what they had encountered tonight.
When talking about monsters and ghosts, it is inevitable to talk about similar things that happened elsewhere. As Zhao Jiyu said before, monsters hurt people and ghosts cause troubles seem to be particularly frequent in recent times.
"Alas." Zhu Biaotou sighed longly.
"Guard leader, why are you sighing?" someone asked.
"It is said that when a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers. It seems that the Tang Dynasty has run out of energy..."
