The spring cold is steep, the residual cold is not over, the light smoke is blowing, and the floating clouds are thin.

On the official road, Bai Luosheng, who was arrested by black and white people all over the world, was galloping with a whip, one person and one horse, walking with a shadow, sweeping the wind and dust, without worry, wanton and happy.

Now he has long been famous all over the world, and he is even more famous by today's people in the rivers and lakes, but he himself does not agree with those statements at all, except for two points, that is, wine and beauty.

Without wine, he can't live, and without beauty, he'd rather die. So at this moment, Bai Luoshang was on the way to Fengzhou in Southern Xia. His plan was to go to Fengzhou first, visit old friends, and then follow Cheongzhou, Chushui, Cheshire, and Langdao all the way south to Liangzhou.

This route allows him to taste almost all the famous wines in the world and enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the world.

He went to Liangzhou, unlike those who rushed for the phoenix blood jade, he was not interested in jade, nor was he interested in the Tang family's family situation, what he was interested in was the third lady of the Tang family.

There are many strange women in the world, and Miss Tang San is one. According to rumors, she is not only beautiful and wise, but also good at singing and dancing, capable of writing and martial arts, and most importantly, she actually looks at the five elements of yin and yang, and enjoys fame in the yin and yang family.

Such a woman, how could Bai Luoshang not be interested?

Humming a self-composed tune comfortably, a wine gourd hung from his waist.

When he came to a stream, he jumped off his horse, squatted down by the river, took two sips of water in both hands, patted the rest of the water on his face, washed off his tiredness, felt refreshed, rested for a while, and then got on his horse and continued on his way.

The sun is setting in the west, and in the blink of an eye it is twilight.

Thousands of miles of wind and dust, people are tired and sluggish.

Bai Luoshang grabbed the reins and looked around, hoping to find a place to stay, but he was a little disappointed. It is located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mountains on all sides, the wind and smoke are clean, the Tianshan Mountains are colorful, although the scenery is beautiful, but it is rarely populated. Along the way, I haven't even seen half a figure.

This is the border of the Southern Xia Kingdom, the famous Tonghu Mountain.

A hundred miles, strange mountains and rivers, there are countless beautiful scenery, but the strange thing is that this road has traveled hundreds of miles, and I have never seen a farmhouse, although this road is an official road, but no one comes and goes.

Bai Luoshang can be very sure that there will be no one living in this mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles.

He took off the wine gourd, raised his head and drank half a sip of wine.

Seeing that the twilight is dull, the frost and dew are getting heavier, and he can't find a place to shelter from the frost and wind, won't he have to sleep in the open again?

Bai Luoshang is worried about the matter of staying overnight, although he is used to the life of the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed, but this kind of cold early spring is still not suitable for sleeping in the open, and the most important thing is that there is not much wine left with him.

After re-hanging the wine gourd, Bai Luoshang continued to flick the whip and rode away, hoping to find an inn before dark. In reality, however, before dark, he simply stopped in front of a ruined temple of the City God.

The temple has obviously been deserted for a long time, overgrown with weeds, broken walls, cold and damp, unpopular, extremely yin, and full of cobwebs. Lush ivy surrounded the collapsed façade, and the stone floor was covered with moss.

The broken temple is built next to the mountain, behind the house is the towering peak, the mountain is the dense forest of evergreen in all seasons, the ancient trees are towering, the branches are luxuriant, and the black pressure is covered on the roof, so that the whole broken temple gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if the dark shadow behind it will collapse at any time.

Bai Luoshang rode his horse closer, and he didn't know why, he always felt that the shadow would give him an uncomfortable feeling, and he couldn't tell why. His instincts told him that he shouldn't go in.

The abandoned temples in the mountains are often not easy to borrow.

It's just that now that it's dark, and what he can see is limited, and if he continues on his journey, he really doesn't know if he will be able to find another place to borrow in the future.

Bai Luoshang thought twice about it, and finally persuaded himself to stay, because he really didn't want to continue walking in the mountains at night.

He put the horse on the ancient tree outside the broken wall, took off the burden hanging on the horse's back, took out the last piece of baked cake, and ate it in a big gulp.

The burden was hung from the horse's back to Bai Luoshang's back, hanging diagonally, in addition to a piece of freshly taken out baked cake, there was also a bag of silver, not much silver, only ten taels.

He had too little luggage, less than a man who was going to walk far away.

A man, a horse, ten taels of silver, and a flask.

No one could have imagined that with this situation alone, he was ready to travel thousands of miles south to Liangzhou to attend the meeting. However, in fact, he did go like this, without any extra silver, not even a single extra piece of clothing, and not even a weapon for self-defense, except for showing that he was too bold, it can only be said that he was indeed extraordinary.

After a long day's journey, even a thousand-mile horse will be tired.

The red jujube horse that he exchanged from Nangong Yan seemed to be dissatisfied with Bai Luosheng's crazy hurry, and kept poking Bai Luosheng's shoulder with his nose, and there was a loud snort in his nose.

Bai Luoshang also knew that he was in a hurry, and he also felt a little guilty about this horse. So he patted the horse's head with his hand and comforted, "You have a good night's rest, and you will continue your journey tomorrow." ”

Horses can't understand human speech, but they understand human nature. was comforted by Bai Luoshang with his hand, and then bent his legs and lay down on the ground.

Bai Luoshang patted the red horse's long face again, and said with a smile while nibbling on dry cakes: "Are you going to sleep here?"

Of course, the Red Horse couldn't ignore him.

Bai Luoshang asked again with self-concern: "Aren't you hungry at all?"

Red Horse still ignored him.

Bai Luoshang kindly plucked a handful of grass and handed it to the red horse. The red horse didn't even want to look at it, and turned his face aside in disgust.

"What kind of people are they, what kind of horses they raise. Bai Luoshang stared at the red horse helplessly, "You are a horse, you should eat grass, how can you dislike grass?"

The red horse closes his eyes.

"It's okay if you don't eat, anyway, you have to go tomorrow, and if you are too hungry to walk, I will roast you and eat it." Bai Luoshang threw away the grass in his hand and bit the dry cake with a proud face.

A piece of baked cake was quickly eaten by him, and he wiped his mouth twice, and Bai Luoshang walked towards the City God Temple with his legs.

The temple was pitch black, and the moonlight outside could not shine through, so no one knew what was inside, and it was possible that there was nothing inside.

The lacquered mahogany couplet outside the temple hall is inscribed:

"Observing the good and evil of the people and the blessings and misfortunes will not be spared."

Although Bai Luoshang never believed in gods and ghosts, he worshipped Buddha in the temple and burned incense when he saw it, according to his words, that is: "How do you know what will happen before and after life, people are mixed in the rivers and lakes, they will always become ghosts, accumulate more yin virtues, and you can have a good birth in the next life, even if there is no difference between gods and ghosts in time, at least you want to have peace of mind." ”

This city god is a magistrate in the underworld, and his authority is the same as that of the county magistrate in the yang realm, cutting off the fierce rebellion, leading the souls of the dead, as the governor of the underworld, when he is alive, he should naturally worship more and have a good relationship, so as not to get superborn after his death.

Moreover, there is only this place to rest in the area of Tonghu Mountain. If he didn't want to continue to hang on the tree and sleep in the open, he could only dismount, and there was no better choice.

As soon as I took two steps, I suddenly heard a "clang".

Bai Luoshang looked at the place where the sound came from in fright, and it turned out that something had fallen from the broken wall of the gate.

It was a gong that had long been unrecognizable, and it was completely unclear what it was used for, round as a plate, rusty, and the sound of smashing on the ground was unusually dull. The old gong, even the sound it makes, is old.

A crashing sound not only disturbed Bai Luoshang, but also disturbed the night insects that were active at night, and in the originally quiet night, some insect sounds suddenly sounded. The insects that were active at night seemed to become excited for a while, and their cries became louder and louder, as if they had exhausted all their strength, and they wanted to burst their throats.

The sound of insects breaking through the silence of the night, sounded like nothing to be liked.

Bai Luoshang was annoyed by the noise of these insects, and she couldn't wait to cover her ears.

The crawling insects and the sound of rustling are chilling.

Why did the broken gong, which had been hanging for an unknown number of years, suddenly fall from it?

Bai Luoshang couldn't help but walk over to take a look, and after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped his movements, raised his eyes and looked at the dark temple carefully.

The door of the main hall has long been tightly sealed with spider webs, and long spider silk hangs from the eaves, as long as streamers, fluttering in the wind, the silk is entangled, coiled into a huge web. It seems that once someone breaks through, they will be firmly trapped by this huge net.

The huge net was uncomfortable, so Bai Luoshang retreated. Originally, I was going to go in and rest, but now it seems that it is better not to go in.

Bai Luoshang picked up some dry wood from the ground and planned to build a bonfire.

The insects around me gradually quieted down again, as if they were asleep, and then the valley fell into infinite silence again.

Silent, silent, shrouded in darkness of the jungle.

The faint shadow of the moon hanging high in the sky, and the sparse starlight, in the cold evening breeze, watched in silence, watching this dead mountain.

Layers of black rain clouds were blown by the cold wind, drifting slowly, making the moonlight and starlight appear and disappear.

The rain clouds made the night even more silent.

The intense and dull black was finally broken after Bai Luoshang lit a pinch of flames.

The flames burned more and more, illuminating a white face, and also driving away the chill.

I saw him sitting cross-legged, taking off the wine gourd, and drinking alone.

Drinking with the shadow, there are also times when the interest is high, Bai Luoshang is drinking wine, and suddenly he is interested, so he casually recites a poem:

"The night insects are accompanied, drinking alone and looking at the city god, the spring is cold and not drunk, and the shadow is afraid of the long road. ”

Just after the sound fell, I suddenly heard a very soft laugh.

The laughter was very soft and thin, and if it weren't for the silence of the night, it would never have been heard.

Of course, Bai Luoshang also heard it, so he subconsciously looked over in surprise.

After a while, I saw an unkempt little ghost popping out of the temple, it should be said that it was a little girl.

Her entire head was almost covered in cobwebs, but it didn't make her uncomfortable at all, she didn't even feel it. She tossed a charred branch around, a cheerful smile on her face. Hee-hee-ha, with words in his mouth, he looks like a crazy and stupid Hanako.

Although this woman named Hanako looks sloppy, her face is black and dirty, and she is completely covered by cobwebs, but when she laughs, she is very aura, cheerful and innocent.

She has a big mouth, a big nose, and equally big eyes.

The big eyes narrowed into a line when they laughed, and even the big nose was wrinkled with laughter. The big mouth muttered some words that Bai Luoshang didn't understand very well, although it didn't make people understand, the girl still said very happily, and I saw that she couldn't help but gesture with her hand.

This was supposed to be a lively person, but in this dilapidated deserted temple, it looked like there was a creepy feeling.

She seemed to be very interested in the fire that Bai Luoshang had raised, so she jumped over directly, poked the fire with a branch, and laughed as she ate.

The flying sparks, as if they were stained with Bai Luoshang's body, burned him to jump up immediately, and then walked quickly to the broken wall as if he saw a ghost, untied the horse rope, and was about to go out of the temple.

He walked the rivers and lakes alone, and he was most reluctant to have a relationship with three kinds, one was a woman, one was a monk, and the other was a beggar. According to his past experience, whenever he has anything to do with beggars, something big must happen. So at this time, he looked like a beggar, and he chose to leave here immediately without even thinking about it.

"Why did Childe go?"

He had only taken two steps when he heard an old, dry voice coming from behind him.

Such an environment is uncomfortable, and such a sound is also uncomfortable.

Bai Luoshang pretended not to hear and continued to bury her head and walk forward.

The voice shouted creepily behind him: "Childe, doesn't you look down on Hanako?"

Bai Luoshang sighed, but could only stop and look back.

An unkempt old man, carrying a wooden cane, walked from the hall of the ruined temple, his bony body swaying in the wind, and walked into the courtyard trembling step by step.

When the old man got closer, Bai Luoshang could see his appearance more clearly.

It was a rickety old man, in his seventies and eighties, with a dark yellow face wrinkled and wrinkled.

Although the old man is old, his eyes are shrewd, and they are sunken in their sockets, but they can still be as bright as the stars in the night. Under the light of the fire, it looks brighter and brighter.

Generally speaking, the eyes of an ancient person must be cloudy, but these eyes are unusually bright, like the eyes of a wolf, and they can see clearly in the dark.

These eyes did not match this face, because the eyes were the eyes of a young man, but the face was that of an old man.

Is it a change of face?

It only takes two glances to be sure that this person is by no means easy to see. It's that he really has a seventy or eighty-year-old face, and a pair of eyes in his twenties.

What made Bai Luoshang even more concerned was that although this person was a beggar, he did not have the sour smell that a beggar should have.

The old man used his sparkling eyes to take care of the white dress, and then used his right hand, which seemed to be unable to bend even his fingers, to make a move to the little girl.

The little girl's face was full of joy, she looked at Bai Luoshang, then at the old man, and then jumped into the old man's arms, squeaky and whining didn't know what to say, and the old man helped her tear off the cobwebs on her head one by one.

The two men were dressed in tatters and sloppy, looking like a pair of beggars. But they all have a strange smell of beggars, which is definitely a strange phenomenon.

Bai Luoshang led the horse and stood there motionless.

The old man looked up at him tremblingly: "Won't the prince come in to rest? This temple is broken, but it can still shelter from the rain and wind. ”

Bai Luoshang hesitated a little, he suddenly felt that he shouldn't have stayed in the first place.

The old man glanced at the sky, and said: "Look at this sky, it is estimated that it will rain tonight, if the son misses this boarding point, I am afraid that he will not find a place to hide from the rain before leaving the mountain." ”

Bai Luoshang also glanced at the sky, it was gloomy, and it looked like it was indeed going to rain. There is also a hint of cold in the wind, and the humid and cold weather is indeed not suitable for camping.

Subconsciously pulled the collar, Bai Luosheng knew that the old man's words were not wrong at all. Except for this ruined temple where you can temporarily shelter from the rain, there is no place to borrow from the rain. He could even guarantee that he would never find any shelter from the rain within a hundred miles of here.

It's just that he really doesn't want to step into this dilapidated temple door. Because it is very uncomfortable to lead him here, a place that can make a person feel uncomfortable will definitely not be a good place.

When the old man saw that he was reluctant to speak, and did not leave or enter the door, he asked, "Does Childe think that it will be inconvenient for Childe to stay here?"

Bai Luoshang didn't know whether to answer yes or no.

The old man sighed and said, "Do you think that talking to the old man will make you feel uncomfortable?"

Bai Luoshang couldn't nod his head, because it was too unreasonable, so he could only shake his head and cough, trying to make his tone not sound uncomfortable, "Uncle is serious, I don't mean anything like this." ”

The girl looked up at Bai Luosheng, then at the old man, and suddenly struggled, and walked vigorously to Bai Luosheng's side, but was dragged by the old man like a chicken.

The old man grabbed the girl and said to Bai Luosheng: "Our ancestors and grandchildren also have nowhere to go to live here, if the son doesn't dislike it, let's go together." We'll rest next to here, and we'll never disturb Childe. ”

Bai Luoshang didn't respond to the old man, just stared blankly at the girl who was waving her teeth and claws at him. Bai Luoshang suddenly felt that this girl's eyes seemed to be able to speak, but unfortunately he couldn't understand the words in her eyes anyway.

I only heard that the girl was eating and laughing at Bai Luosheng, while muttering something as if she had been enchanted, her eyes flashed with inexplicable light, even if she was dragged hard by the old man, she still stretched out her hands to Bai Luosheng.

Gradually, the old man began to look a little struggling, after all, he couldn't support his weight with a wooden crutch at all, but he still warmly invited Bai Luoshang into the temple to rest.

Bai Luoshang still hesitated, neither advancing nor retreating. In his mind, he was also struggling with whether to go in or not. He was a little embarrassed, and looked at his horse, neither to go nor to stay.

If he didn't go in, he would have no way to find a place to hide from the rain, and if he did, he would have to share one roof with two beggars.

It's not that he hates beggars, but he knows very well that every time he gets involved with beggars, he will get into trouble. What's more, these two beggars still have some ......

"Could it be that Childe dislikes our grandfather and grandson for being sloppy and unwilling to spend the night with us," the old man said in his slightly vicissitudes of life: "Childe really looks down on Huazi." ”

Bai Luoshang touched his nose and thought to himself, everyone else said so, and it would be too rude to leave again, so he shook his hands, leaned over, and said in a loud voice: "The old man is serious, I am the one who disturbs." ”

As he spoke, he laughed again, then led the horse and walked back with a smile on his face.

The old man took the girl by the hand, and when he saw Bai Luoshang walking back, he laughed happily twice. His sallow face was already full of deep wrinkles, and when he smiled, those abrupt wrinkles became even uglier. The orange fire struck his ravine-crisscrossed face, making people reluctant to take a second look after one look.

Bai Luoshang subconsciously stretched out his hand to his face and touched it.

Where did these two people come from?

Could it be that they were all hiding in the main hall in the first place?

Bai Luoshang sighed helplessly, no wonder someone said that there are many ghosts in broken temples, and you can't easily enter this kind of long-abandoned temple unless you have to.

The old man staggered to the fire, holding on to the wooden crutches.

Bai Luoshang could only lead the horse back and put it on again, it was just a reins that had been put on countless times, but it took a long time to get it done. This has been done countless times, but this time it just didn't work well.

For half a pillar of incense, Bai Luoshang was repeating the action of the noose, and he was silent and did not speak, twisting his eyebrows, as if he was worried.

The girl pursed her lips and hung her head sullenly.

The orange light of the fire cast a circle of fiery shadows above her messy head.

The old man sat on the ground on his knees, put the wooden crutch in front of his legs, and saw that Bai Luoshang hadn't come over for a long time, so he couldn't help but laugh: "Childe's horse rope seems to be more difficult to put on than others." ”

Bai Luoshang said embarrassedly: "Maybe this wood is too slippery." ”

The old man chuckled quietly.

Bai Luoshang also laughed in a low voice, thinking that he inevitably had some cup bow snake shadow. Even if you spend the night with a beggar, you don't necessarily have to get into trouble. Not every time you meet a beggar, you will have an accident, perhaps, this time will be an exception.

Thinking like this, Bai Luoshang simply bundled the horse rope on the stake, turned to look at the two of them, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to disturb the two of you tonight, and I hope to bear with me." ”

The old man grinned and said: "Childe is polite, this temple is not ours, as long as Childe does not dislike it, he will stay if he wants to." ”

Bai Luoshang couldn't help but glance at the old man again, and always felt that the old man's speech and demeanor were more like a beggar.

At this time, the crazy girl held a bun wrapped in paper and didn't know how long it had been placed, ran over, handed the bun to Bai Luosheng, and said with a smile: "Do you want to eat buns?"

Bai Luoshang was stunned.

The girl opened her eyes wide, and said innocently and enthusiastically: "Childe, you eat steamed buns." ”

Bai Luoshang glanced at the paper wrapped in buns, took two steps back, and refused: "No need, I'm not hungry at all." ”

Although he was already hungry, he was unwilling to take the bun from the girl's hand. It's just that my stomach is always sour, and the taste of hunger is really uncomfortable.

A piece of baked cake can't solve the problem of hunger at all, not to mention that he has already consumed a lot of physical strength by walking all the way. Now as soon as he saw something to eat, it was as if a hundred hungry worms were suddenly making trouble in his belly.

The girl tilted her neck, continued to push the buns towards Bai Luoshang, bit her lip lightly, and said in a low voice: "Childe, you eat buns." ”

Bai Luoshang continued to retreat uncomfortably, he didn't understand why this crazy and stupid girl, when looking at him, her eyes always flashed inexplicably, and her eyes and the old man's eyes were clearly the same as each other. This made Bai Luoshang feel that her hand would turn into a biting snake at any time, and because of this, he would never easily reach over.

What's more, the bun she held in her hand didn't know how many days it had been held, even the skin was black, and Bai Luoshang would never eat this kind of food. He's not called Hanako, so how can he eat food called Hanako?

The girl pressed forward step by step, but it didn't work, because Bai Luoshang didn't want to reach out to pick it up at all.

Looking at Bai Luoshang suspiciously, the girl asked blankly: "My favorite buns, I can't bear to eat them, and now I give them to my son, but why doesn't my son want to eat them?"

Looking at the girl's stubborn eyes, Bai Luoshang had no choice but to smile bitterly: "I brought my own food." ”

The girl's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Bai Luosheng's arm and said, "What delicious food did the son bring?"

Bai Luoshang patted the wine gourd and said with a smile: "Yulu elixir." ”

The girl didn't understand and looked at the gourd, which was not too big.

Bai Luoshang said proudly: "As long as it is there, I will never be hungry without eating for the rest of my life." ”

The girl's eyes widened.

Bai Luoshang glanced at the bun in the girl's hand and smiled: "So you should keep this bun and eat it yourself." ”

The girl suddenly lost the bun in her hand, and then rushed towards Bai Luoshang with a grin, and was about to grab Bai Luosheng's hair with both hands, but Bai Luoshang was lightly dodged.

"Childe's hair is so beautiful!" the girl smiled, and even her eyes seemed to become brighter, "I like it so much, I have almost never seen such beautiful hair." ”

The white hair is indeed beautiful, like a woman's hair, hanging down behind her like a light veil, and it seems to shine in the dark night.

looked at the girl's curled hair, and Bai Luoshang didn't say anything. In fact, he also likes his hair very much, even if he wants to be unkempt and called Hanako, he doesn't want to waste his hair.

"Can I touch it?" the girl reached for Bai Luosheng's head again.

Bai Luoshang just wanted to turn sideways and walk away, but heard the old man sigh and say, "Girl, take your hand away." ”

The girl's eyes were red.

The old man sighed: "Your hands are so dirty, how can you touch your son? You can use your dirty and unsightly hands to grab your own hair, but you must not use your dirty and unsightly hands to grab your son's hair." ”

The girl straightened her unkempt hair, and her eyes became even redder.

The old man took the girl's hand: "Is this boy the most handsome man you have ever seen?"

The girl suddenly laughed, "Childe is the most handsome and good-looking man I have ever seen!"

"Do you like this son?"

"I like this son the most. The girl said, "I've never seen anyone more beautiful than Childe." ”

Bai Luoshang looked at himself and sighed narcissistically, how could such a handsome and good-looking man be born in the world!

Bai Luoshang was originally a person who liked beauties, so he always dressed himself up very well, so that even if he fell into a rare place, when he wanted to see the beauty, he could also appreciate the beauty from the reflection of the lake, and it would take most of the day to look at it. Therefore, Bai Luoshang is not only a person who loves beauty, but also an extremely narcissistic person.

Although it was a little strange to salivate over a man's face, he couldn't help but dress himself up as a man to go out, because he was a man himself, and it would be even stranger to go out with a woman's face on his head.

An old man and a young man on the opposite side couldn't understand the inexplicable brilliance in Bai Luoshang's eyes, the old man patted the girl's head and said with a smile: "Since Childe is so good-looking, then you can sit here quietly, obediently, wait for me to talk to Childe, maybe Childe will be happy, and his hair will let you touch it later." ”

Bai Luosheng's expression was stunned, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was not willing to give his hair to a little beggar to play with, and any man would not give his hair to a girl to play with.

After hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Can the boy send me his head?"

As soon as he heard this, Bai Luoshang's scalp tightened, how to give away this hair?

The old man sighed, patted the back of the girl's hand, and smiled: "How can the hair of the body be given to you by the parents and the son?"

The girl blinked and grinned, "Can you give me the child's clothes?"

The old man shook his head helplessly, "If Childe gives you his clothes, he will have no clothes to wear." ”

"What about the skin?" asked the girl innocently, "Childe's skin is so good, can he peel off his skin and give it to me?"

Bai Luoshang simply lowered her eyelids and pretended that she was asleep.

The old man said sternly: "Nonsense! How can the skin be peeled off?"

The girl pouted and said, "Isn't the skin of a frog easy to peel off?"

The old man said angrily: "Is Childe like a frog?"

Bai Luoshang listened to the two beggars, one old and one young, discussing themselves there, not only did not give birth to a sense of superiority, but instead grew a trace of coldness in his heart. He would rather utter from those two mouths a curse to himself, a slander and a demeaning language, than to hear them talk about his countenance, his hair, his clothes, and his skin.

He suddenly felt that he was the frog in their mouths, and in the words of the two men, he almost saw himself being skinned and bloodily exposed to the air, and he almost felt like life was worse than death.

Standing awkwardly for a while, he wondered if he should leave now, or find a place to sleep first?

Just as Bai Luoshang was about to leave, the old man suddenly said: "The girl has a bad mind, and she speaks differently, so the son is not strange." ”

Bai Luoshang shook her head and smiled: "It's not weird, it's not weird, the little girl is full of innocence and funny." ”

The girl blushed, her eyes stared at Bai Luosheng, and she opened her eyes wider and wider, and suddenly laughed with a "poof", suddenly jumped over and grabbed Bai Luosheng's arm tightly, and said loudly: "I like Childe!"

Bai Luoshang smiled, barely controlling herself, so as not to show too much surprise. But actually, he was really surprised, because he really couldn't figure out why this girl suddenly jumped up and grabbed him, and said so loudly that she liked him.

The old man suddenly approached Bai Luosheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I like Childe very much, too." ”

Bai Luoshang couldn't help but be stunned.

Compared with Bai Luosheng's surprise, the old man didn't feel that there was anything strange about his words, but smiled at Bai Luoshang indifferently.

Bai Luoshang raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, because he found that he was really charming.

Who knows, the old man suddenly said again at this time: "The girl likes to peel frogs the most, but I don't like it at all, but I like to eat frog meat very much." ”

Why do you suddenly say such things?

Bai Luoshang looked at him and was puzzled.

The old man smiled and said, "It can also be said that my favorite meat is frog meat." ”

Bai Luoshang didn't speak.

The old man suddenly asked, "Does Childe like to eat frogs?"

Bai Luoshang frowned and said, "I don't like frogs, not at all." ”

The old man suddenly pointed behind Bai Luoshang and said with a smile: "However, the girl seems to want to invite you to eat frogs." ”

Bai Luoshang looked back in surprise, and then he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

The crazy and stupid girl was actually forking a fist-sized frog with a branch and roasting it on the fire.

The skin of the frog that was peeled alive was thrown on the ground, and it was bloody, and even if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you could feel the horror and cruelty of the skin. The frog that had been skinned and pierced on the branch still had a pair of bulging eyes, which seemed to be angry and desperate.

Bai Luoshang couldn't help but shudder.

The girl looked back at him from time to time, with an inexplicable smile on her face. Her expression was proud and complacent, as if roasting a frog was something she was proud of.

In such cold weather, where did the frogs come from?

The old man seemed to see through Bai Luoshang's question, and explained with a smile beside him: "This frog was dug up by us in the woods outside the temple, and it hid three feet in the ground, thinking that no one could find it, but in the end we found it. ”

Bai Luoshang didn't speak, his face had changed, he suddenly felt that he didn't want to speak at all, he felt that after looking at the frog skin, there was always an indescribable dullness in his heart.

The old man was still smiling, "No matter how well this frog hides, it can't avoid being killed in the end." ”

Then, he patted Bai Luoshang's shoulder vigorously with his hand, and said with a smile: "What do you think of the girl's kung fu in skinning frogs?"

Bai Luoshang could only purse her lips and continue to be silent.

The old man saw that he had not spoken, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid? This is a frog skin, not a human skin, what are you afraid of?"

Bai Luoshang looked at him, and wanted to ask, could it be that this crazy girl not only can skin frogs, but also skin people? And the kung fu of skinning people is as good as the kung fu of peeling frog skins?

"The meat of this frog is very fine, crispy and delicious, and it is a very good game. The old man had already sat down in front of the fire, beckoned to Bai Luosheng, and said, "Come and taste it too, I promise you will like the taste." ”

Of course, Bai Luoshang will not sit down, and he will not eat roasted frogs, not only now, but also in the future, he said that he does not like frogs, not at all.

The old man smiled again: "If it weren't for the son, we probably wouldn't have been able to eat such good frog meat today, but with this fire, we can eat meat today." There are so many frogs here that the three of us can't eat them all. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Bai Luoshang found that a very long straw rope had been thrown next to the fire at some point, and there were many frogs tied to the straw rope.
