Chapter 183: Bad Intentions
The woman had been hit too hard in one day, and after being frightened, she had hoped that her daughter would be safe, but now she was going to be in danger again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After kneeling in the rain for so long, her body couldn't support it, so she fainted.
Seeing this, Chun Tao cried "mother", and also ran out, blessing and sighing, this is really no way, otherwise, it is impossible for the people in the village to open the road at all.
When it was almost evening, it had rained all day, and finally it had lightened, and only a slight rain was floating in the air.
The road of loess, which was rained and turned into mud, stepped on it with one foot, quickly fell into it, and even the instep could not be seen, and then pulled out, which was similar to the chicken that was called seven or eight points.
Today is not a good time to enter the mountain, but Blessing doesn't know how long she will stay here, for these villagers, she doesn't have any intention of helping, it's all for the sake of Chun Tao, a girl.
The villagers dispersed, blessed Li Moyi and Rong Shiyin at Chuntao's house, helping her prepare the things she needed to enter the mountain, after Widow Cui fell, she had no strength to get up, and Rong Shiyin had been by her side to take care of her.
Li Moyi collected oilcloth from various homes and prepared a travel bag for Chun Tao to sleep at night.
Chun Tao's family is really poor, since ancient times, orphans and widows are not happy, it is nothing to drag in the big family, this kind of village, if the widow has a son, it is fine, like her family has only one Chun Tao, the uncle of the family is a bit of a bad person, will be in various ways to swallow the family's farmland.
In this way, the people in this village are not so bad that they are incurable.
Blessing hummed a small tune, and the few ingredients on the research table were all scavenged from the people in the village: steamed buns, bacon, dried sweet potatoes, vegetable oil...... Just this steamed bun, it was all the day before yesterday.
This is already the best thing that the village can come up with, and it is really poor, it would be good to open the road as soon as possible, and maybe when you return to your own time, you will find that the village has suddenly become very modern and very rich, which is not bad.
Seeing that it was getting dark, smoke had begun to rise from other people's homes, and only Widow Cui was still cold pots and stoves here, so she rolled up her sleeves and tried to show off her skills, and then ......
She was embarrassed to find a problem, the stove was cold, there was no fire.
Burning a large stove is a rather technical job, and for people who have never burned it, it is an epic puzzle, such as blessing the brain that is now blank when looking at the stove of the black hole.
I heard the old man in the family say that when he used to burn the coal stove, he would first light the newspaper, then use the newspaper to light the sawdust, then use the sawdust to burn the small branches, and then light the honeycomb coal.
This era...... Is there a newspaper?
In the end, the blessing decided to give up, and asking if you don't understand is the ladder of human progress.
Blessing asked Chun Tao: "How did you order this stove in your house?"
Chun Tao jumped over, only to see her pick up a stone unhurriedly, knock it a few times, and then I don't know what to do, Chai He let out a "crackling" burning sound.
"Amazing. "When the stove is hot, pour oil into the pot, cut the steamed bread into slices, and when the oil pot is hot, throw the whole steamed bread slices, the boiling oil is boiling, and a fragrance of flour rises.
The fried steamed bread slices are drained with oil, golden brown and crispy, and the smell is mouth-watering.
Chun Tao, who was gathered on the side, twitched her nose: "Ah, it's so fragrant." ”
It is already God's eyes to see a little bit of oil at home, where can there be such an opportunity, use half a pot of oil to fry steamed bread slices and eat.
"Take it and eat it. Blessing patted her on the head.
Chun Tao answered, reached out to grab a piece, thought about it, and took the whole plate away.
After a while, I heard the immature voice of Chun Tao: "Big brother eats, big sister eats, mother, mother eats steamed buns, it is made by the high priest's sister." ”
Stir-fried bacon with garlic, this thing is not very difficult.
If you are using a gas stove.
This big stove, to adjust the fire, all rely on the constant tossing of firewood, blessing can take care of the bottom, can't take care of the top, busy into a mess.
Accidentally, the water stained on the garlic moss also splashed into the oil pan on the side, and a terrible oil explosion sounded and exploded.
Blessing was startled by the voice, instinctively took a few steps back, just kept bending over, and suddenly got up, and suddenly Venus rose in front of him, and he didn't stand firm under his feet, and almost hit the cupboard.
Suddenly, two strong hands stretched out behind her and grabbed her shoulders: "Be careful." The familiar voice, the blessing didn't even reply, so he raised his hand holding the shovel: "Come, place an order, kill the garlic moss and bacon, and cook it." ”
Li Moyi's voice was full of laughter: "Then what is the price you paid?"
Blessing turned around, looked at him, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and kissed Li Mo's lips heavily: "No need to look for it." ”
"......" Li Moyi looked at her figure fleeing in a panic, and gently brushed his lips with his fingers: "It's not enough." ”
Soon, a table of colorful and fragrant dishes was ready, Widow Cui was helped up by Chun Tao, she looked at a plate of bacon fried garlic moss on the table, suddenly covered her mouth, and tears fell down.
But Chun Tao was frightened: "Mother, what's wrong with you, is there something uncomfortable?"
Widow Cui took a deep breath and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, but I suddenly remembered that in the past, when I just gave birth to Chun Tao, my family had no money, let alone meat, and I couldn't even see rice and white noodles." Alas, it's not good to blame me, where is it so squeamish to give birth to a baby, I have to think about eating bacon, her father and other offspring go up the mountain, this is ...... I didn't come back......"
As he spoke, he began to cry again.
Chun Tao stroked her back with her little hand, her eyes were also red, and she couldn't say a word.
Rong Shiyin said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad, Chun Tao's father is in the sky, and he will definitely bless your mother and son." As the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future. ”
Widow Cui nodded with tears in her eyes, and looked at the blessing: "High Priest Niangniang, you came today, but you saved our mother and son, if Chun Tao dies, I will not be able to live." ”
Blessing has always been not very good at comforting others, but smiled and said: "Today, Chun Tao was saved because of your teaching." ”
"Me?" Widow Cui was puzzled.
Blessing will be what Chun Tao said to her today, and said it again, only saying that she is like Chun Tao at such a young age, but she can think of this, and she will be able to succeed in the future.
"What's Dacheng, hey, she's just a girl, in the future, that is, she will marry someone else's wife and serve her in-laws and men for a lifetime. ”
Blessing shook his head: "Girls can also make a career, even if they marry a woman and raise a child, they are more knowledgeable than others, little by little, as long as they encounter opportunities, they can soar." ”
Widow Cui was overjoyed by what she said, and wiped away her tears with a smile: "Hey, in front of all distinguished guests, I'm talking nonsense, eat quickly, the dishes are cold." ”
"Sister High Priest, you are a good person. Chun Tao looked up at the blessing.
The blessing was not polite at all: "Of course." ”
After eating, the village has been shrouded in twilight, Chun Tao carried the dry food and water prepared for the blessing, walked out of the house, step by step towards the mountain, the people of the village looked at the lonely back of this girl, some prayed that she could come back safely, so that the curse of the mountain god has been broken.
But some people don't think so, and Li Zheng, who has been ridiculed by blessings, shrinks into his room, watching Chun Tao disappear at the entrance of the village through the window, his face full of resentment.
On the altar of prayer for rain this time, the blessing will make his extortion of money from large households public, if Chun Tao can come back safely this time, the villagers will come to him to settle the account, and if Chun Tao dies on the mountain...... Maybe there is a big turn for the better in this matter.
The night was deeper, and Chun Tao walked alone in the mountains for a long time, although the blessing promised her that it would be fine, but she was still very scared in her heart, and she forgot to set up the tent before dark, and now she wants to build it again, she can't see anything clearly, and there is no way to get it at all.
A light wind blew, and the remaining raindrops on the leaves fell, as if it was a light rain again, shaking off the spring peach head and face, and the thin clothes were soon soaked.
She shook off the tarpaulin tent and wrapped herself tightly, only then did she feel a trace of warmth regain on her body. After the rain, the forest is wet and shining, and there is no place to sit.
In the dark forest, the roar of a wild beast was heard from nowhere, and Chun Tao was so frightened that she continued to run forward until she tripped over the roots of a tree that were stuck on the ground and fell heavily to the ground.
She flattened her mouth and wanted to cry aggrievedly, but when she looked up, she found that there was a flat ground in front of her, and in the middle of the flat ground, there seemed to be a house full of shadows.
If you have a house, you will have at least a place to block the wind. At that moment, Chun Tao also forgot that her leg hurt, and jumped up happily and ran to the house.
I don't know how long the house has been unoccupied, the original bricks on the ground are cracked into small pieces, overgrown with weeds, and the roof is ...... Where is there a roof, Chun Tao raised her head and saw the sky full of stars.
There was a tattered offering table in the middle, which was too dark, and I didn't know which god it was offering.
Chun Tao was a child who grew up in the mountains, and soon found some dry firewood nearby, and she made a bonfire with the flint and fire sickle she carried with her, and the warm flames jumped on the firewood and grass, tearing this annoying darkness apart, so that the poor little girl could find some comfort.
By the light of the fire, she saw the idol of the god on the offering table.
Where is the statue of a god, but it is a brand, Chun Tao is illiterate, I only think that the shape of this brand is very similar to Daddy's tablet, maybe whose tablet is this?
Thinking of this, Chun Tao's heart tightened at first, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Chun Tao doesn't know anything, I broke into here by mistake, please don't be surprised, let me stay here overnight, and leave tomorrow." ”
A gust of wind blew from the broken gate, the flames shook suddenly, and the reflection on the mottled wall looked very weird, Chun Tao kowtowed a few more times, and quickly shrank by the fire, wrapped himself tightly in an oilcloth, and his heart was "pounding" and beating wildly.
After walking down the long mountain road, she felt a little hungry again, so Chun Tao found a few pieces of meat from the package, picked them up with a branch, and slowly roasted them by the fire.
Soon, a strong smell of meat slowly filled the room and drifted out of the house.
As soon as Chun Tao looked up, she was surprised to find a black figure outside the door, slowly walking in, she panicked and screamed loudly.
"In this place, if you break your throat, no one will pay attention to you. "It's the voice of Lizheng.
Chun Tao's voice trembled: "You, what do you want to do?"
"During the day, you should sacrifice to the river god, by mistake, let you live until now, and earn most of the day in vain, you should be satisfied. ”
Chun Tao clearly saw the kitchen knife in Li Zheng's hand, faintly flashing with cold light, she slowly moved back, and soon, her back was against the wall, there was no way to escape, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes.
Then, in her ears, another strange sound rang out, footsteps mixed with a menacing roar coming from the beast's throat.
Li Zheng's screams, the sound of human flesh being torn apart, and the sound of whistling wind, kept coming, Chun Tao didn't dare to open her eyes, she closed her eyes tightly, trying to shrink herself smaller.
Soon, Li Zheng couldn't make a sound, something was licking the blood, tearing the flesh, and a bloody and rancid breath went straight into Chun Tao's nose.
Maybe I am going to die here today, Chun Tao slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the beast lying on Lizheng's body, it was a lone wolf, everyone in the mountains knew that the lone wolf was the most cunning and ruthless, maybe it was the smell of meat here that attracted it.
With Chun Tao's ability, she will never be able to escape from the sharp teeth of a lone wolf.
She just sat quietly, waiting for the lone wolf to come and bite herself to death and eat her.
Soon, the wolf stopped tearing at Lizheng's corpse and looked up at Chun Tao, the blood-stained mouth made Chun Tao's blood seem to be frozen.
It walked slowly towards Chun Tao, and suddenly, it stopped again, turned around, returned to Li Zheng's corpse, picked it up, and dragged it out, leaving only a long trail of blood on the ground.
Chun Tao didn't know why it would let it go, and she didn't know if there would be other beasts coming later, and the whole person was in a state of panic.
"Don't be afraid, get a good night's sleep, and leave at dawn. A gentle voice rang out.
As soon as she turned around, she found that there was a hole in the wall behind her, and Blessing was smiling at her, and Li Moyi, standing beside her, Chun Tao felt a terrible aura on him, as if death was coming.
The wolf just now thought it was because of him.
But when I saw him before, it was clearly a gentle and amiable big brother, she raised her head again, yes, it was a gentle and amiable big brother, and his murderous appearance just now seemed to be just a temporary illusion.
Chun Tao wanted to stand up, but found that she was so frightened that her legs were weak just now, and she couldn't stand up at all, so she had to sit in place in embarrassment: "Sister High Priest, why are you here?"
"I'm here to protect you. Blessing generously stepped in through the window and sat next to Chun Tao.
