Zhang Xiaopu held his head slightly high, holding a reed pipe in his mouth, the other end of the reed pipe protruded an inch above the water, hidden under a large aquatic plant leaf, and the exhaled air and the fresh air on the water surface circulated alternately through the reed pipe.

His whole body was hidden in the water beneath the aquatic weeds, and the hunting knife was stuck deep in the sand at the bottom of the river, and his legs were crossed with the hilt of the hunting knife to hold his body motionless.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but be complacent, and praised his clever brain, thinking that anyone who saw the traces he left in the reeds would follow the traces and chase him downstream, who would have thought that he would dive upstream, so he concluded that the girls in the red dress would not be able to find him this time.

Moreover, this time instead of leaving traces of his escape, even the smell was masked by water, so even if they had the best hounds, it would be useless.

Unless one of them has clairvoyance and can see him lurking in the water through the thick aquatic plants on the surface of the water in the dark night, but this is obviously not possible.

In about a quarter of an hour, a large "firefly" landed on a blade of aquatic grass sticking out of the water above Zhang Xiaopaw's head, and Zhang Xiaopaw curled up in the water was completely unaware. But Zhang Xiaopaw's heart hung with a thud, because he heard footsteps on the shore, the footsteps came from far and near, and for some reason suddenly stopped, and he heard clearly, and two footsteps stopped on the shore where he was hiding.

"You can't find any trace of me, and you don't know which direction to follow. Zhang Xiaopaw told himself in his heart that he was forced to calm down.

However, what puzzled and nervous him was that his footsteps stopped on the shore and did not move, and he did not say a word from beginning to end, he wanted to peek at what was going on on the shore, but he didn't dare, for fear of exposing his whereabouts.

There was no movement on the shore, and Zhang Xiaopaw did not dare to move, so after a full quarter of an hour, there was finally movement on the shore. There were new footsteps from far and near, and Zhang Xiaopaw deduced from the footsteps that there should be three people, but what made his heart hang was that the footsteps were the same as before, stopping on the shore where he was hiding.

"Master, man is hiding in the water. ”

"Oh. How long have you been hiding?"

He had been hiding under the water when the minions came after him, and now another quarter of an hour had passed. ”

"Motionless?"

"Nope. ”

"Giggles, that's amazing!"

Listening to the conversation on the shore, Zhang Xiaopaw's heart immediately cooled, obviously he was discovered when the first time the footsteps stopped, the funny thing is that he has always been full of confidence, thinking that others did not find him, as if he was standing under the noses of others blindfolded, covering his ears and stealing the bell, like a fool enough. It's not like, it's just that.

There was no one else on the shore, it was a group of seven girls in red dresses.

The first footsteps Zhang Xiaopaw heard were the four slaves who followed the Aiko Firefly to find Zhang Xiaopaw's hiding place all the way, and their master said that they would tame Zhang Xiaopaw with their own hands, so they did not "bother" Zhang Xiaopu, but stood on the shore and waited for their master to come.

The second group of footsteps were the girl in the red dress, the old man wearing the crown and the old man with the bare face who caught up after washing. When the three of them learned that Zhang Xiaopaw had been hiding under the noses of the four slaves for a quarter of an hour, they all couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Giggles, Zhang Damao, come out, don't hide, Miss Ben has never seen someone as stupid as you when she is so old. The girl in the red dress sneered at the location where Zhang Xiaopaw was hiding.

Zhang Xiaopai's cheeks were hot, but he would not be obedient, unless he was really a fool, he pulled out his hunting knife, twisted his body, made a splash under the water, and plunged into the deep water in the middle of the river.

"Hmph! Toast and don't eat and drink!" The girl in the red dress snorted coldly, and said to the old man with a crown and the old man with a red face: "The second elder is tired to ask him to come ashore." ”

"I'll come. The red-faced old man responded.

After that, he jumped into the river, like a roc spreading its wings and sweeping towards the river. He let out a low sigh and stepped on the water, only to see that the flowing water was completely concave around the sole of his foot, and it felt like a weight pressing on the open membrane, and the membrane was overwhelmed and sunken.

The red-faced old man smiled like this, standing on the water in an independent posture of a golden rooster, and did not speak.

Goo Goo - Goo Goo - Goo Goo -

I saw a large number of blisters suddenly rise on the sunken water surface.

Zhang Xiaopai's soul flew out of the sky, only to feel that a mountain suddenly pressed on his back, crushing him to the bottom of the river, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. The weight of the mountain squeezed all the qi out of his chest, and the river gurgled into his mouth.

The belly swelled rapidly, the chest cavity was suffocated as if it was about to explode, the eyes were bulging, the ear canal was swollen and painful, the limbs were holding the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river, and gradually lost strength, and the eyes were black, Zhang Xiaopaw knew that he was about to be drowned.

Zhang Xiaopaw was so sad, because he couldn't understand how the girls in the red dress caught up with him, could it be that there was a magical kung fu that specifically chased people? Just like the magical kung fu that fixed him at the bottom of the river at the moment and couldn't move, it was as magical as a trick.

However, the red-faced old man was like pinching his fingers and calculating, and just when Zhang Xiaopu was about to drown, he retracted his feet, and the sunken water surface instantly returned to normal.

Zhang Xiaopaw only felt that the pressure on his back suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly pulled it to the surface of the water, gurgling, and the water was still pouring into his mouth, but his body was already rushing to the surface of the water like an arrow from the string.

Crash!

Zhang Xiaopaw jumped out of the water like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, opened his mouth wide, and longed for the air of the whole world to pour into his mouth, but before the air could be poured into his mouth, he heard a bang, and his belly, which was swollen by the river, was hit hard, and all the water in his stomach was smashed out.

Bang!

Zhang Xiaopaw fell on the grass on the shore like a dead fish, rolled for more than ten steps before stopping, curled up like a prawn, he wanted to catch his breath, but the water in his stomach spurted out vigorously, making him breathless.

"Whew-"

After a long while, Zhang Xiaopaw finally breathed a sigh of relief, opened his mouth, made a dilapidated bellows-like sound in his throat, and gasped for breath quickly, for fear that he would suffocate to death if he took a short breath.

Zhang Xiaopaw knelt on the ground with his hands on the grass, gasping for breath, snot and tears covering his face. Some of them were choked out, some of them were crying out of him, and he was crying bitterly for the sake of retrieving a dog's life.

"Zhang Damao, tell your secret, and then be my slave, or else - die!"

The indifferent voice of the girl in the red dress sounded, and it was so cold and ruthless in Zhang Xiaopaw's ears.

"Ahem—"

Zhang Xiaopaw coughed sharply, coughed up a lot of blood, and didn't know if it was a throat or a wound in his lungs, after coughing, he took a deep breath and stood up, looked at the girl in the red dress with red eyes, gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "I have no secrets, and I don't want to be your slave!"

As he spoke, his eyes were suddenly drawn to a large "firefly", which buzzed around him and seemed to want to land on his back.

Staring at the "firefly", Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes trembled suddenly, he remembered that he had seen this big "firefly" by the river before, and at that time he thought that there was someone behind him, so he turned around suddenly, and this big "firefly" was lying on a blade of grass behind him.

"Could it be that this big 'firefly' wasn't on the blade of grass, but on my back, because I turned around so hard that it flew to the blade of grass?

Zhang Xiaopaw stared at the flying fireflies, and a light flashed in his mind, as if he had grasped the problem. He jerked his hands behind his back and scratched them, but he didn't catch anything.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but be confused, twisted his head and looked at his back, wondering if there was something on his back, suddenly his eyes fixed on the wrapped bandage, and his heart was suddenly shocked, this bandage was not his, but the girl in the red dress.

Whew!

Zhang Xiaopaw didn't care whether the wound had healed or not, so he picked off the bandage with the tip of the knife, and then gritted his teeth three or two times to tear the bandage off his body. He was sweating and soaking in water all the way, and the wound had already been glued to the bandage, and this pull directly tore open several wounds, but fortunately, the bone and muscle pills were powerful, and the wound had healed deeply, leaving only a superficial scar, but it still hurt him so much that he was cold.

Syllable!

Zhang Xiaopaw threw the blood-red bandage on the ground, only to see the flying "fireflies" fly straight to the bandage on the ground, and finally landed on it motionless.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaopaw understood, and at the same time, he felt a chill in his heart.

It was this strange and damn 'firefly' who found him with the girl in the red dress and the group, and the girl in the red dress and the party didn't feel good when they bandaged his wounds, which means that the girl in the red dress and the party had evil thoughts about him from the beginning.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't figure out how bad a person must be in order to have evil thoughts towards a stranger he had just met? Shouldn't such a person have been killed by a thunderbolt from God a long time ago? Why can he still live a good life? Or is it all nonsense to say that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil?

At this moment, anger was surging in Zhang Xiaopaw's heart, and the idea of "being kind to others" taught to him by the old village chief was being eroded little by little.

"What is this?!" Zhang Xiaopaw asked, pointing to the "firefly" that landed on the bandage.

"Giggles, did you find out, it's not too stupid, it's a pity it's late. The girl in the red dress was not in a hurry to force Zhang Xiaopai to comply, but explained to him, and said: "It's called the lover firefly, it can find its eggs within a hundred miles, no need for sight or smell, it is instinctive." ”

"What an amazing bug. Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't hold back his surprise, he didn't blame the loverfire firefly, only blamed himself for being too short-sighted, his eyes left the lover's firefly, and then looked at the girl in the red dress and asked, "How did you freeze me under the water just now and make me unable to move?"

"Boy, you're looking at it, it's an eye-opener. The red-faced old man said, and then slapped his right palm against the void on the river.

Zhang Xiaoshu was surprised, he didn't understand what he was doing, what was he shooting at the river from so far away, but then he stood on the spot with his mouth open.

I only heard a boom, as if an invisible mountain had fallen into the river, and it actually cut off the flowing river, and then the river that was broken into two made a loud noise, and rushed into the air several feet high.

Zhang Xiaopao's lips and tongue were dry, his heart was shocked, and at the same time, he was terrified, if the red-faced old man was like this just now, he would probably be cut in two like the flowing river.

"Be my slave, live, or die otherwise!" said the girl in the red dress again.

"Death is death, so what's the matter?" Zhang Xiaopu was fearless, he didn't want to be a soulless walking corpse, and he didn't want to die.

In order to survive, Zhang Xiaopaw can make any concessions, but it is absolutely impossible to sell his freedom and soul.

"Yo, it's quite backbone. Aren't you afraid of death?" asked the girl in the red dress with a sneer.

"I'm afraid of death, but I'm not afraid to die!" Zhang Xiaopai said.

"Hehe, you dare to die, I don't know if the old lady in your family dares to die?" I don't know if the villagers in Dama Village dare to die?" asked the girl in the red dress. She still remembers Zhang Xiaopaw saying that he was a villager from Daba Village.

"You dare?!" Zhang Xiaopai's eyes were as bloody. Although Dama Village is a village he is talking nonsense, it sounds like he is talking about Liujia Village in his ears.

"A group of untouchables, ants are not as good, if you want to kill them, why don't you dare?" the girl in the red dress said coldly.
