Chapter 42: Another Knock at the Door
As soon as I heard him say this, I was stunned for a moment, and the goosebumps on my arms instantly crept up, and I took a long time to revisit this sentence, and finally eased my frightened emotions before asking, "Are you sure this is a drug?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Once in Qiaotou Village, I saw Baocai's ability to recognize animals and plants, and I believed his judgment at the moment. But why did the food brought by the man put this unconscious spice? Is this also a black shop? I wanted to cry without tears, and my eyes glanced at the old wooden door, which I had been staring at, and looked away, and there was a small gap in the old wooden door, and behind the gap there was a dark shadow blocking the fire in the corridor.
I took a step back nervously and accidentally bumped into a crockpot, the cacophony robbing me of my breath. Bao Cai was already nervous, this will be taken aback, exclaimed, exaggerated expression lost the misty incense in his hand, helpless to flee to my side, the two of us kept approaching the window.
The number of people on the streets dwindled and dwindled, and many of them were drunk and hobbled back to their inns, while some of them were still wandering the streets, and then!
Baocai anxiously pulled my arm and said, "Son, let's jump down and go to your ancestor, right?"
I looked out the window, shook my head blankly, and said, "No......"
Baocai looked at the deep darkness in the crack of the door and said, "Then what should we do?
I was dumbfounded, "We have nowhere to go......"
"Why?" Baocai was puzzled: "Are you afraid that the second floor is too high?" Oh, I can't control it now, the people in the post station want to harm us, even if we break our legs, we have to go down!"
The chill in my heart was wrapping my will, and I turned my eyes to the treasure and said with a little despair: "The crowd below, those who keep stuffing things into their mouths, they have no shadow!"
"Ah!" Bao Cai's voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention, and we looked at us like beautiful women throwing hydrangeas, whether it was a merchant or those things without shadows, and it felt as if we were in a ghost town, and there were living people like us, and they didn't feel that the ghost was around them. And after we passed through the yin wind aisle of the Chu tomb, we were all opened to see those unclean things. But now I'm in a mess, I don't know why the people at the inn are hurting us, why are there so many strange ghosts here, what the hell are they going to do?
Everything seemed to be a nightmare, despair and helplessness hit like a tide, the only thing I and Bao Cai could do now was to find helpers, we shouted to the people in the crowd, telling them that there were many ghosts around us, but those people looked at us strangely, as if our cries for help and reminders were crazy people, they didn't feel the danger at all, yes, they couldn't see the ghosts, there was no way to believe what we said.
......Suddenly, a harsh, gong-like sound suddenly tore through the lively atmosphere, and another fellow in the Turan post station stood in front of the wooden pole, shouting something in various languages, but in the language he shouted, there was no Chinese.
I was suspicious, this feeling was like the beginning of a curfew, this curfew was aimed at people from various countries, not against Han Chinese, of course, this was not a preferential treatment, but a sign that something terrible was about to happen.
I turned my head, and the eyes behind the slit peered at us darkly, breathing heavily, like a beast about to come out of its cage. After the sound of knocking, the merchants and envoys returned to the post station, and now only a few Han Chinese in front of the campfire remained. They stood up and looked silently at people from other parts of the world like the tide receding, their faces full of confusion.
Suddenly, I saw a shadow rise silently behind the reeds, and I was anxiously shouting, "Be careful!"
Finally, one of the Han Chinese saw my excitedly waving hand, and thankfully, I kept pointing behind them, hoping they understood. But to no avail, I was carrying the light on my back, and they couldn't see clearly, and they couldn't understand what I meant, and at that moment, the shadows behind them pulled out their bright scimitars.
"Behind, behind you!" I jumped up in a hurry, but it was too late, and the shadow slit the throats of several confused Han people, and a blood mist rushed out in an instant.
They died quietly, and the Han man standing in front did not notice that his companion had been mercilessly killed, but one of them felt the warm blood, he touched his cheek, and looked back in a daze, and he was cut down vertically with a knife by the man behind him.
"How...... How so?" I watched in horror at the image of a man being split in half, and suddenly realized that their death was what would happen to us.
"Bang-bang......" The people outside the door finally couldn't hold it anymore, I turned around in horror, the wooden door shook violently, a terrible cry outside the window pierced the night sky, and another Han man fell.
My heart beat to the sound of the door, and in a panic I shouted to the treasure, "Quick, move the bed to the door!"
Bao Cai was disturbed by the sound of inside and outside, his feet seemed to be glued tightly, and he couldn't move at all, and I hurriedly shouted: "Bao Ye! He is about to break in!"
At this call, Baocai finally reacted, and he ran to the bed without a head. The bed was heavy, made of old poplar wood, and we used all our strength to keep it behind the door. I shuddered and took out the Mongolian knife and kept telling myself: "Feng Liu, you are the one who lives under the Yin soldiers and sand ghosts, and now you are just a wicked person, hold the knife steadily, you must hold the knife steadily." "I controlled my trembling hands.
Baocai's mouth kept chanting: "Bodhisattva bless, Allah bless......" but his request was ruthlessly covered up by the sound of fighting outside and the intersection of weapons.
The man's breath outside was getting sharper and sharper, and judging by his voice, he should be tall. We were ready to fight to the death, and just then, the man stopped kicking the door, and Bao Cai and I breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of us looked at each other, and were even more disturbed by the sudden silence.
I grabbed the knife in my hand, leaned over, listened to the movement outside, and in this extremely tense situation, there were several loud "pops" and sawdust splashed.
Bao Cai and I were defenseless, and sat down on the ground in fright, and we saw half of the axe deep into the room, and after the axe was pulled out, there was a strange human face, which looked cold and merciless, and ragged.
"It's over!" Bao Cai couldn't hold the Mongolian knife known as the "man of the swords".
I comforted him and said, "Don't panic, we have repeatedly escaped from danger, and this time it will be!" In this situation, I remembered what the little Taoist priest said to me a few days ago: "One day, you will have to face danger alone, and at that time, you can no longer think about relying on others, but you must rely on your own strength and fight to the death." ā
The hole in the wooden door was already the size of two fists, and just as the ruthless man raised his axe again to chop it down, I gritted my teeth and cautiously walked to the door, leaning against the wall. I wanted to strike first after he broke down the door, but while I was waiting, I suddenly heard a "bang", and the wine jar outside seemed to burst, and then something dull fell to the ground.
Bao Cai looked at the axe hanging on the door in a daze, and at this time, the knock on the door sounded again, and I was startled, and the knife almost came out of my hand.
"Prince, Baoye, open the door quickly, it's me, Bajian!" the people outside shouted quietly, I was stunned for a moment, Wang Bajian pulled out the axe, his face was like the rising sun in the morning, appeared behind the doorway.
My heart and Bao Cai's heart instantly warmed, and almost without thinking about it, we ran to the door, pushed open the poplar bed, and opened the door. Just as he was about to welcome Wang Bajian in, he said eagerly: "Don't stay here, come with me!"
Just as he was about to leave, Baocai's foot was grabbed by the man who knocked Wang Bajian unconscious, Wang Bajian reacted quickly, he quickly covered Baocai's mouth that wanted to scream, and he lifted his foot and kicked the man's head violently, and the person was kicked violently by him, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
Wang Bajian took advantage of this, took me and Baocai, and tiptoed to the last room in the corridor. There was no one living in the house, and it was dark when we entered, so Wang Bajian lowered his voice, softly closed the door bolt, and said to us: "There is no one living here, and they will not find out immediately." ā
Baocai and I were in a state of shock, and sorted out our emotions, if it weren't for Wang Bajian's love to wander around, we wouldn't have found a place to take refuge.
At this time, Wang Bajian's ears were close to the ground, and when he heard that there was no movement outside, he asked us: "What is the situation now? What is happening?"
I shook my head and said in a deep voice, "I don't know...... I was attacked inexplicably......" I sniffed and wondered, "Why do you have such a big smell of blood?"
Wang Bajian scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I ran to the house of the people downstairs just now, those people were lying horizontally and vertically, and they were sleeping.
It was the man at the post house who knocked on the door, saying that he was coming to collect the goods, but the gang slept like dead pigs, and could not wake up no matter how they screamed. It didn't take long for the guy outside the door to stop screaming, and I heard the sound of the blade picking the deadbolt, and hurriedly hid under the bed.
However, I didn't expect that there were two people who came in, sneaky, very sneaky, and they killed several sleeping people with knives, and blood flowed from the cracks in the bed to my body.
I was so frightened that I hid inside for a while, and when I heard no movement, I ran out...... But one thing was strange, as I passed through the hall, it was empty and lifeless.
I didn't dare to stay longer, I wanted to come and tell you about the situation here earlier, but I happened to meet you in distress. ā
What Wang Bajian said next made me and Baocai feel even more terrifying, and he said: "Also, when I was following the entanglement on their bodies, I found a few wooden cards, which were left by the ghost at that time, as well as the one stolen by the little heavenly master. ā
Hearing this, I gasped and said in disbelief, "What did you say...... Could it be the Montenegrin Army!" (To be continued.) )
