Chapter 10: The Feast of the Dog 4

Seeing him talking eloquently, Meng Po wondered how he knew that these were the most secret things in the whole town.

Yuan An saw that Meng Po was puzzled, as if he had received some compliment, and explained with a smile that he had heard about it when he was wandering alone on the street yesterday, because as soon as Meng Po said that there was something wrong with this place, and it was a semi-isolated place, he wanted to ask as much as possible about the inside story that was different from the outside.

And as long as the temptation is enough, there is always something that outsiders should not know.

As the two spoke, the crowd was already in chaos.

It turned out that the little mud bit the person who grabbed him, and then slipped out of the crowd to escape. He was thin and small, and everyone was already a little stunned at this time, and he really let him escape from the encirclement if he didn't check for a while.

But after all, they are all strong people, and it is only a matter of time before such a malnourished child is caught.

However, as soon as they took a step, a group of people threw themselves on the ground as if they had tripped over something. This situation is too weird, at this time, the fragile people are lying on the ground, and the panic gradually spreads.

Meng Po quietly collected the silk thread, and then slowly spoke, "Since it is retribution, aren't you afraid that the evil deeds will be more evil and the retribution will be deeper?"

The low voice is obviously very pleasant, but it makes people feel a little fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Soon, someone reacted, got up and said angrily, "What are you talking about as an outsider in the affairs of our town." ”

"Yes, that is, what does an outsider know?"

Gradually, other people reacted, and prepared to go find the little mud as they spoke. For them, there is no more suitable candidate for the blame than Xiao Muba, he has a grudge with Lao Zhang is the reason, and he is an orphan to solve everyone's worries.

Meng Po didn't answer, and turned around and left.

On the other side, after the little mud escaped from the crowd, he ran forward desperately. The other person had short calves, and finally bypassed the corner of the lane, and when he was relieved, he suddenly had something to cover his head, and then his body was light, and he was stopped by someone and ran up.

The little mud was so frightened that he couldn't do it, he pounded and bitten, but this time it was completely useless, holding his arm like an iron hoop, it was difficult to move. After that, it seemed to be stuffed into a car, because the car moved quickly.

Knowing that there was no hope of escaping this time, the little mud's tears finally fell, muttering to him, "Life is over...... Rest ......"

The car went a little forward, and the little mud was lowered from the car again. Finally breaking free from the sack he was holding, he found himself in a deserted forest, and the car was gone.

"I'm ...... Was he saved?" Little Mud hugged the bag with a blank face, but quickly recovered, shook his head and said, "Forget it, take care of him, run for your life first." ”

Yuan An returned to the Yangou Inn, and Meng Poyi was already waiting at the door of the inn.

When the car restarted, Yuan An asked curiously, "Is it just going straight away?" How does the little aunt know where the child lives?"

"It will take us there. Meng Po raised her hand and motioned for him to look.

Yuan An found that in her palm, there was a compass shape made of blue tassel silk thread.

Meng Poyi explained, "There is an aura in that child's body, and I can roughly know his direction. ”

Yuan An was still puzzled, "In that case, why don't you let me bring that kid directly?"

Meng Po said: "Although the child is young, he is very elf and very defensive, if he says the purpose clearly, he may not directly expose his residence, and when the time comes, we will be a little more troublesome if we say a random place." ”

The two of them walked out of Yangou Town and walked directly to the foot of the mountain behind Yangou Town. Then he abandoned the car and walked all the way up the mountain.

Although the mountain road is rugged, the scenery on the mountain is rare to see, so you can also see three or two tourists from other places one after another, and there is even a pavilion to rest when you go halfway up the mountain, in which a square table is placed, and there is an old man who sells cold noodles, ice powder and water, and three or five panting tourists.

Further up, the road becomes more and more difficult, the number of pedestrians gradually decreases to none, and the forest path is also obscured by dead branches and leaves.

Meng Po looked at the compass in her hand, and suddenly said, "It is indeed in this direction, and it is almost there." ”

Sure enough, after bypassing this hill and walking forward for about half an hour, we arrived at the destination of this trip, a ruined temple hidden among the deep trees.

Although the temple is dilapidated, it is also sturdy, and even the "cooing" of poultry can be heard through the trees, and if you get closer, you can see the smoke of the cooking.

Compared with Yangou Town under the mountain, this ancient temple far away in the mountains has more warm fireworks in the world.

The temple is extremely quiet, there is no human figure, and the statues of the gods enshrined have traces of time. Although I don't hear Sanskrit, I also have a faint smell of incense.

Obviously, there are no pilgrims here, but the people who live here have cleaned the temple extremely clean, and the occasional incense and the smell of cooking smoke make it more mysterious and quiet in the ancient temples in the mountains.

Yuan An took a deep breath and said, "Compared to the bottom of the mountain, this is really a good place. ”

In fact, the mountain is not bad, after all, as a small town far from the city, the air environment is naturally good, but the people's hearts are too mixed, and the dog meat is too rich, so there is a strange sense of depression, not so fresh and breathable here.

The two walked through the courtyard where the melon leaves were busy, and when they walked to the side of the temple, they saw a courtyard of cabbage growing just right. An old woman sat on the edge of the yard, holding a few verdant cabbages in her hands and looking carefully, occasionally catching the blue-green cabbage insects that appeared on them.

Hearing footsteps, the old woman raised her head and asked, "What's the matter with the two guests?"

Yuan An said: "Mother-in-law, I'm bothered! The two of us came here to find a child." ”

"Child?" the old woman was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up, "but ...... But what did that little mud kid do wrong?"

"Not really. Seeing that the old man was frightened, Yuan An hurriedly reassured, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, it's not that the little mud has done anything, it's just a little thing I want to inquire." ”

"Really?" the old woman still didn't believe it, and said busily, "Little mud, that child has no father or mother since he was a child, and his temperament is indeed a little stubborn. Even if there is a loss of property, please tell us and do your best to compensate. Please also ask the two of you to remember that he was young and lonely, and forgive one or two. ”

Meng Po said: "Mother-in-law is worried, the people under the mountain seem to have some misunderstanding of the child, if you don't ask clearly, I'm afraid it will cause you to worry about your life." ”

"The people under the mountain?" the old woman was even more shocked when she heard this, and there was even a little more fear in her voice, "Those are all people who have lost their minds, how did the little mud get into trouble again?"

Meng Po together: "The two of us happened to meet, although we have the heart to help each other, but saving the next time can not guarantee that we can meet just every time, so I want to go up the mountain to ask the reason, if it can be completely solved, it would be great." ”

"Yamashita is full of people who are obsessed with money, and they can do all kinds of bastard things. The old woman sighed and thanked again, "It turns out that the two of you saved the little mud, and I am really grateful." It's a long way down the mountain, so please rest for a while and have a cup of tea!"

She didn't doubt the words of the two, the old woman had lived for such a long time, if someone else would naturally ask for the truth again, but the eyes of the girl in black in front of her suddenly couldn't have any suspicion.

Tea is coarse tea, but water is good water. Although there is a little less tea fragrance, it is a little more fresh and refreshing.

Yuan An felt extremely thirsty as he drank, and was about to pour a second cup, when he saw a bundle of adult-tall dry firewood stumbling into the house. A child's voice behind Ganchai said energetically:

"Grandma, I chopped firewood!"

The old woman said distressedly: "Why did you carry so much at one time, you are tired!" said as she planned to help move into the kitchen.

The temple is small, and the space inside is clear at a glance. Yuan An got up and easily picked up the dry firewood and put it in the kitchen, and when he came out, he saw the child he had seen in the town earlier, Xiao Ni was looking at the two strangers who suddenly appeared with wide eyes and surprise.

"What?" Motogishi looked at him amusedly.

"You...... Who are you?" Little Mud scurried up to the old woman and looked at the two of them vigilantly as a protector, "There are no outsiders here, what do you want to do?"

Yuan An smiled: "What, this is the attitude towards the life-saving benefactor?"

Little Mud's eyes were full of vigilance, "What life-saver?"

Yuan An said: "If it wasn't for the life-saving benefactor, then how did you escape from those people before?"

"Is that you?" said the little mud was even more surprised.

Yuan An smiled: "Otherwise?"

Little Mud questioned, "How can there be a life-saver like you, why do you want to trap me when you are so kind to save me?"

Yuan An said: "There are so many people in the town, what should I do if I don't let you be recognized?"

"Not true. Little Mud shook his head and questioned, "It's so remote here, and the locals can't necessarily find it, how do you two outsiders know?"

Yuan An said: "You are clever. ”

Meng Po suddenly spoke: "Your puppy leads the way." ”

Little Mud took a step back in fright again, clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest, and looked at Meng Poyi with a panicked expression, "How do you know about dogs?"

Perhaps because of malnutrition, others have grown thin and small, and their chests are bulging. was squirming around, and the next moment, a pure black puppy pulled the collar and turned out, and its round eyes looked at a few people curiously.

"You're a smart puppy. Yuan An praised, "Since it can guide us to save you before, it can naturally lead the way." ”

It doesn't matter if it's a puppy guide before, just believe it.

"That's it. Sure enough, when he heard someone praising the puppy, Little Mud immediately became proud, "Xiaobai is the smartest." ”

Yuan An was a little surprised, "It's called Xiaobai?"

"Yes. Xiao Mud suddenly remembered something, looked at the two of them cautiously and said, "Can you not tell others about Xiaobai's existence, if people know, they will eat Xiaobai." ”

"Naturally not. Meng Po said, "Can Xiaobai give me a hug?"
