Chapter 19: The Bald Man

It was not dark in the cellar, and I could not hear the sound of the watchman in the village, so I could only speculate and feel the time. "It's almost time, let's go. Wang Ziqing said. Any habit that lasts for a long time will form a biological clock, and he guesses based on his own breathing about every half an hour.

The other two nodded.

"Well, take care, come to the blacksmith shop for me, and don't forget to bring me a. Wang Ziqing pretended to be relaxed, and couldn't help but think of the dragon grinding grass brought by Wu Ma Xin, and his heart felt uncomfortable.

Wang Ziqing came out of the cellar, and sure enough, it was already late at night, and the wind on the mountain was very cold, blowing the wound for bursts of pain. Maybe it was because the Fu soldiers fought a big victory, and there was not even a single person left behind, only a dead corpse in one place. Wang Ziqing cautiously returned to the village from the path, without alarming anyone. The farm tools hanging at the door have been taken away by the guests who paid the deposit, and the money has been put in the bucket by the door, and everything is the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

Cheng Jingzhi walked out of the cellar with "Lou Yiming" and "Wu Ma Heart" on his back. The cave where he was hiding was not far away, and he took advantage of the night to dig two pits with a spear, and put "Lou Yiming" and "Wu Ma Xin" into them respectively. After doing all this, Cheng Jingzhi fell asleep.

Ma Weiliang finally walked out of the cellar, took two breaths of cold air, and felt that the turbidity in his heart was much less. He looked up at the sky, fifteen was the time when the moon was at its fullest, and tonight it turned out to be a blood moon, like a red disk hanging in the dark sky, covered with dark red blood.

The Red Blood Moon is very rare.

Master Buzhen once said that if the moon changes color, there will be disasters, green for hunger and sorrow, red for fighting and soldiers, yellow for virtue and joy, white for drought and mourning, black for sickness and death.

Ma Weiliang couldn't help but feel a little sad, he didn't want to go back to the valley, but he didn't know where he could go. Walking in a different direction from Qiaodong Village, he just needed to find a warm place where he could stay until he got in touch with Jiuqian.

There are many irregular natural caves in the mountains, and the walls of the caves are very dense, and woodcutters and medicine pickers often take shelter from the wind and rain. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the caves, but they are nothing for those who often live in the mountains. Ma Weiliang didn't dare to make a fire, but just found some wild grass to spread in the hole and barely kept warm.

When they were separated last time, Jiuqian and Ma Weiliang talked about how to contact him. The people of Rat Village regard the rat as a brother, they can communicate with the rat, pass on the message through the rat, and teach Ma Weiliang a few simple words of rat language.

Since ancient times, rats have been the fastest reproducing and most capable animals. They are very adaptable, they can eat almost anything, and they can live anywhere, whether in the city, outside the village, barren mountains, and wild mountains. They have a very sensitive sense of smell, especially the smell of people, as long as they smell it, they will avoid it from a distance, and the nest is also in an unknown place, and they are very discreet and incredibly fast to ventilate with them.

Ma Weiliang also had no intention of sleeping, his eyes looked out of the cave with empty eyes, and several rats came to the open space in front of the cave entrance, facing the blood moon in a row, like a devout believer, holding their claws, as if they were praying for something.

I heard Uncle Shi say before that many spiritual animals will worship the moon on the fifteenth full moon day, in order to absorb the extreme yin qi in the moon. Today is a rare red silk blood moon, of course, even more to worship.

Ma Weiliang didn't dare to disturb, only watched quietly. When they finished bowing and lined up to go down the mountain, Ma Weiliang gently recited the rat language of the Jiuqian Sect of "calling brothers to help".

One of them stopped and looked this way, and it seemed that he was not skilled enough to say it, so the mouse was not sure. Ma Weiliang hurriedly said it again, and the mouse turned his head and came to him, his eyes narrowed, his cheeks bulging, his ears back, his beard drooping, and he had a kind expression.

What Jiuqian said turned out to be true, it seems that Fighting Beasts Mountain really has extraordinary means, Ma Weiliang was very excited, and continued to say in a not very skilled rat language: "Tell Jiuqian that I am here." ”

"Squeak. The rat seemed to understand, and flew out.

Ma Weiliang exhaled, rubbed his sore cheeks, and thought to himself: "When I learn the language of rats, I must ask them what is going on with the moon worship." ”

There are many rats in the mountains, and in the dim red moonlight, every time a cow roars, one mouse will talk to another mouse, and then another mouse will run rapidly, and the original mouse will slowly move back to the nest to rest as if it had completed a major task.

How could Ma Weiliang know that what Jiuqian taught him was not an ordinary rat language, but an order with deterrence, they used the fastest speed to transmit information, and those who were slightly weaker would even vomit blood and die after returning to the nest.

I don't know when I fell asleep, when I woke up, it was already dawn, my lips were chapped and painful, Ma Weiliang struggled to get up, ready to find water. It is not difficult to find a stream in the mountains, and when you get out of the cave, you can see the clear stream in the distance.

The terrain on the mountain is high, and you can faintly see the movement in the village below. A group of people and horses walked towards the outside of the village, the armor on their bodies flashed golden light in the sun, it seemed that this was the team escorting the Wind King, could it be that Xiao Wu didn't kill the Wind King? Ma Weiliang almost screamed, but in exchange for the burning pain in his throat.

Ma Weiliang stood calmly, and suddenly there was a click of stepping on the weeds behind him. Ma Weiliang turned back vigilantly, only to see a big dog running towards him, dressed in golden hair, shiny, very strong body, straight and thick legs, a woman in pink in the distance, with a pink ribbon on her head, and the skin of the woman lined with a faint pink, but the expression on her face was as cold as frost.

"Look where you're going!" shouted the woman in pink.

Ma Weiliang was shocked and held the dagger tightly in his hand. He was born without hair, could it be that he was here to get him?

The woman in pink didn't seem to see Ma Weiliang, she flicked the leather whip in her hand, beat the golden retriever dog and screamed, trembled a few times, the golden hair flew around, and a few more whips went down, before she meekly lay on the side of the road and didn't dare to move.

The Golden Retriever is the most docile dog, but this one is very fierce and full of hunting style. It was also surprisingly large, similar to a lion, with long golden fur as thick as a steel needle, and the average person could not withstand its pounce. It is said that the temperament of the animal is similar to that of its owner, and this golden retriever is so fierce, presumably because of such a fierce owner.

Such a beautiful girl, if only she were gentle...... Ma Weiliang didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he still didn't let his guard down, staring at the man and the dog.

The woman in pink saw Ma Weiliang's eyes, looked at his bald head again, as if she understood something, laughed "flutter", put away the leather whip, and walked towards him.

"My name is Cao Bingnan, this is my dog, called Bald Guy. The woman in pink spoke crisply and cheerfully, and was generous.

"Oh, oh, my name is ......" Ma Weiliang realized that he was not talking about him, but after all, he still had some concerns and did not dare to report his real name, "My name is Chen Daliang, just call me Daliang." ”

"You're hurt?"

"Well, I fell when I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and it didn't matter. ”

Cao Bingnan stared at him thoughtfully for a while, and said, "For the sake of your name, I'll take you to my house for treatment, let's go." ”

"Don't bother, I'm just here to fetch some water. After this battle, Ma Weiliang was like a frightened mouse, for fear that anyone would see through his identity. At this time, in his eyes, it seems that everyone is friend or foe.

Seeing that he refused, Cao Bingnan's eyes widened angrily, and he pointed at the leather whip in his hand and said: "This fairy took the initiative to treat your injuries, and you still dare to refuse, are you also the same as the bald guy, if you don't fight, you are not honest?"

Ma Weiliang dodged backwards, and as soon as his body moved, he felt a piercing pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell straight down.

"Do I want to die?" Cao Bingnan bit his lip angrily, "You are too seriously injured, and if you don't heal you, I'm afraid your life will not be saved." ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Ma Weiliang said with difficulty, feeling a little bitter in his heart, "In the next life, I will be the master." ”

"When I touch it, it's up to me. Cao Bingnan said domineeringly, his eyes looked at Ma Weiliang, "So twisted, are you a fugitive?"

"No, how could I be a fugitive. Ma Weiliang's eyes flickered slightly.

"If you're not a fugitive, why do you have so many knife wounds?"

Ma Weiliang was shocked into a cold sweat and was speechless for a while.

Cao Bingnan didn't think so, and said coldly: "King Duan bullies the people, and the king is angry, even if he is a fugitive, why don't you dare to admit it?"

Ma Weiliang was a little ashamed, and said with a slightly red face: "What the girl said is right, I have indeed just escaped from the clutches of the King of Fu, and I am waiting for my friends to answer here." ”

"Then come back with me, and I beg my grandmother for you, and if she is merciful, she may be able to save your life. Cao Bingnan opened and closed widely, without the shyness of a girl at all.

"I ......"

"I'm a kind person, I can't see other people's pain, if you don't go, I'll help you finish it. Cao Bingnan said, his eyes revealing a fierce light.

"Okay, I'll go with you. Ma Weiliang had no choice but to agree.

Ma Weiliang likes such straightforward girls very much, not as pretentious as other girls, that is, a little too fierce, obviously trying to help people, but talking about it is the same as robbery.

After sleeping in a cold and damp cave all night, Ma Weiliang felt even more uncomfortable than before, and his walking was faltering. Cao Bingnan didn't want to help him at all, but just raised his leather whip and looked at the bald guy who was not allowed to run around, which made Ma Weiliang very broken, didn't she know how to care about a patient, alas.

Cao Bingnan's family lives in a small valley with beautiful scenery, and the mountains on both sides are full of red, red, green, green, yellow and yellow trees, and the trees are adorned with bunches of fruits. Occasionally, the wind blows, and the leaves fall one by one, creating a beautiful scenery of late autumn.

"Let's Gu Mei, right?" Cao Bingnan's cold face rarely appeared with a smile.

"Well, beauty. Ma Weiliang praised from the bottom of his heart.

It's only early spring, how can there be a late autumn scene? Ma Weiliang was so nervous that his heart was beating wildly, and his brain was trying to recall. That's right, just now, all the way through, the mountain is full of green trees, many trees have just pulled out their branches, how to enter this valley, the scenery has changed.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
