Chapter 13: Well Water Poisoning (13)
"What did you just say? I only know that there is a golden crow, but I don't know what it is?"
Not only why, as soon as he thought of the words that the spirit crow had not spoken, Qi Bei began to break out in a cold sweat. The huge pressure of the black spirit crow accumulated on his head and shoulders, and he only felt that he was bearing the weight of the mountain peak, and his legs were about to bend and break. Qi Bei hurriedly took a big breath and used the strength of the falling field to withstand the advancing waves to withstand the huge weight of the huge weight. The black spirit crow quickly surrendered, flapped its wings and flew away, and the feathers that fell into the air stuck to Qi Bei's body.
The wind chimes rotated, and when he looked at it again, Qi Bei was shocked!
He saw—
The small golden crows carved on the wall of the wind chimes are neatly arranged, and this has not changed. The terrible thing is that on the wind chime wall, the shape of the gap between the upper and lower rows and the two adjacent columns on the left and right of the four golden black birds actually hides a bird flying in the opposite direction, because it is not colored, it is a black bird.
This is the so-called "only know that there is a golden crow, but do not know that there is-"
I don't know if there is a crow, or maybe there is a crow.
Qi Bei breathed loudly, and he discovered that the golden crow pattern on the wind chime was secretive.
The golden and black birds are intertwined with each other in the way of convex yang and concave yin, for the eyes who are accustomed to the "golden crow", they will not notice that there are black black birds hidden in the dark without warning, but once they notice, the way of observation of the eyes can never go back to the past when they only saw the golden crow. Qi Bei rubbed his eyes, rubbed his eyes again, and felt that he had discovered some kind of incredible secret.
"Ding—"
When the golden black black wind chimes rang again, Qi Bei felt in a trance that there was a shallow river flowing between his feet.
Looking down and looking around, no, I don't know why, I came from a cold and dirty alley to a quietly flowing river.
He lifted his feet, and the crystal droplets of water fell and splashed with clear water, and the clatter of the wind chimes mingled with each other, which was very beautiful.
In this quiet picture, the voice of a man with his back to him telling a story.
Qi Bei curiously went upstream.
Judging from the clothes of the man with his back to him and the posture when telling the story, he must be a well-cultivated scholarly descendant or something, Qi Bei listened attentively, and he seemed to be waiting for the woman whose husband to return on the edge of the sky turned into a sea reef, named "Qiao Niang Rock".
Qi Bei quietly approached.
Although there was inevitably a rumbling sound against the current when the first step was made, the man who told the story and the two children who listened to the story were completely unaware. The well-cultivated son of the family had his back to Qi Bei, and the person listening to the story looked at Qi Bei, and from this opposite direction, the two children who should have seen Qi Bei approaching at a glance did not notice it at all.
The sparkling images are all illusions.
Qi Bei found that among the two children who listened to the story, one of them looked very much like the seven tails, the faces of the two were almost identical, and the figure in front of him was a little smaller, but his eyes were not dull and stiff, just like a normal naughty boy, he was very agile, and from time to time he pulled the placket of the son of the family, or pulled the braids of the girls around him.
The other child was a very beautiful and lovely girl, and after listening to the story, she clapped her hands and shouted: "Brother, Ning'er wants to see Qiaoniangyan, and Ning'er wants to touch the stone." Brother, you say, can she turn back into a human?"
The boy also coaxed: "Seven Tails are going too! Seven Tails are also going to touch." ”
Qi Bei was surprised. Isn't Nanao's head necrotic? Isn't it true that he can only speak with a single word? How can he be in this river, and his thinking, manners, and speech are so normal?
The man who told the story laughed, and Qi Bei carefully judged the familiar voice-
"Nanaos can't be naughty. You little hands, touch what's bad. Don't pull your sister Ning's braids. Are you going to push Qiao Niang Rock into the sea?"
"Hee-hee-hee. "Seven tails and a smoke are running and playing in the river, it seems that if it really reaches the edge of the sky, this naughty bear child must be pushing at Qiao Niangyan the year before last.
The boy deliberately got angry and reprimanded him: "You kid dare to destroy Qiao Niangyan, brother, I won't take you anymore, only Ning'er." ”
"Don't take the Seven Tails without it!" The child is still young, and he can't distinguish between truth and falsehood, and accepts all his brother's words, believing them to be true, and his cheeks are bulging.
"Haha-"
Qi Bei quietly walked to the side of the man to observe.
All three noticed.
That's right, it's Yu Hui. It's just that he is sitting in the river telling stories to his younger siblings, his skin is not as dark and rough as the wind and sun on the sea, and the dress of this rich and noble family is not much worse than Xu Yi and Xin Lin, the two sons of the family.
It turned out that Yu Hui before going to sea was like this. Qi Bei thought secretly. I remember that he was adrift at sea for ten years, why did he come?
"Ding—"
When the next wind chime rang, the slowly flowing river became colder and colder, the current accelerated, and the phantom began to blur. There seemed to be a bigger wind blowing through – but it didn't feel like a skin. The wind chimes rotated and accelerated, and the small golden crow carved by the yang text and the small black crow hidden in the yin text were intertwined and disordered, and Qi Bei was dizzy.
"Ahh
A huge black spirit crow suddenly swept over Qi Bei's head, like a dark whirlwind, swooping towards the unconscious three people in the river. Yu Hui first found that he got up and pounced hard, the pitch-black crow feathers were scattered all over the sky, no matter how Yu Hui protected his younger siblings, the fierce spirit crow could always peck with its sharp beak.
"Go away! Go away!" Yu Hui first protected the nearest seven tails behind him, but it was too late to protect Ning'er, "Ning'er, Ning'er, you come back." ”
The girl who was pecked by the black crow had lost consciousness, got up flutteringly, and walked up against the current, no matter how Yuhui and Nanao shouted behind her, she didn't hear it at all.
"Ning'er!"
"Sister Ning—"
The huge crow was perched on the girl's shoulder, and its eerie eyes stared at the two brothers who were shivering.
"Stop struggling. ”
The crow spoke, still with a heavy smell of damp earth.
Ning'er turned around and looked at Yu Hui and Nanao blankly. In her eye sockets, her round black eyes had turned into two feather shapes.
Even Qi Bei realized that Ning'er was completely controlled by the spirit crow and could no longer be called back.
"Brother, I'm afraid!" Seven Tails hid behind Yu Hui, and the next target that the spirit crow aimed at was him, but this child was much stronger than Ning Er, and he refused to give up resistance at all, plus the seven tails, this kid, who went up to the tree to dig out bird eggs and went into the water to touch small fish, was as light as an ape, and could always successfully avoid the pursuit of the spirit crow again and again.
"Stop struggling. ”
The crow tilted its head and stared at the monkey-like fledgling Nanao, giggling.
The river beneath my feet was almost bitterly cold.
"Go away, go away. "Yu Hui helped the Seven Tails drive away the black crows, but to no avail, the crows would always hover and fly back.
