Chapter 404: The Night Donkey Cart
The muddy roads of the countryside without lights, the faint and low cry of the Oriental horned owl, thick and heavy, each heavy on the last note, make the night seem desolate, and the path that cannot be reached out of reach seems long.
I feel sluggish when there is no wind, and I don't feel cold and my hairs stand on end.
The goddess no longer just took the little boy's hand, she wrapped her whole right arm around the little boy's shoulder, and her left hand carrying the basket also covered his shoulder, protecting him with the whole little man in her arms. It's been a long time since she walked at night, not to mention the recent incident in the neighborhood, she was very nervous. In normal times, she didn't bother much, but now she was on a night trip with a child.
The country roads in the middle of the night seem desolate and uninhabited, but they are not deserted. She knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at the child in her arms along the way. And those lonely souls and wild ghosts are still acquaintances, but they just moved their minds and did not act. Even if it is a demon ghost, there are rules, whoever gets it first will be whoever, and the others will not rob it, at most they will tease and scare. But now no one dares to come out and scare the child she is holding, after all, she is taken care of in the arms of the white fairy Niangniang, and no one dares to make a mistake.
The only thing she was worried about was the behemoth that had been roaming around for random food lately.
The little boy was also very frightened, he did not walk at night, and his father took him home before it was dark. He didn't say it, though. He felt that the goddess was holding his hand more and more unconsciously, but he didn't ask any questions all the way, he felt that the goddess was very good, not like a bad person, he felt that the goddess was doing this for his good. Therefore, Rao is goddess's pace is extremely fast, and he can barely keep up, but he also tries to follow, silent, and very obedient.
He has walked through many sheep intestine paths, and has walked through many ridges, and has bypassed a little edge in front of other people's yards many times, because there is a goddess holding him and has been following, but just when he was about to enter a relatively spacious road, he suddenly stopped, because he was barely keeping up with the pace, and his stop was very obvious.
"What's the matter, dog?" asked him, and he shrunk tightly.
"Is there anything uncomfortable? Tell your mother-in-law, and she can help you get better right away." The goddess took him and didn't dare to stay at night, so she hugged him and said, "Can you go?"
The little boy tried to take two steps, but suddenly stopped, he turned to his aunt and hugged the arm of the goddess tightly, and begged, "Mother-in-law, it's so dark ahead, can you not take this road......
When the goddess heard this, she was scared, so she hurriedly smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, there is a big road ahead, and the black is a little darker, but the road is very flat, even if we can't see anything, we can run in the dark, and it is easier to walk than a small road." Dogs are not afraid, ah, not afraid, there is a mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law will protect you. ”
The dog looked ahead in fright, they had actually stepped into the road, but they had just come a few steps, and the front was dark, it could be said that it was really dark, and they couldn't see their fingers. No matter how dark the night is, no matter how there are no lights, no lights, not even stars and no moon, at least you can see yourself. However, in the middle of this road, the little boy could not even see his own hands, and it was really very dark.
The road was a rare sight in the countryside, and the road was full of trees on both sides, because it was in the middle of the wind, and the wind on both sides blew the trees in the middle, so that the treetops on both sides were stacked against each other, forming an arched shroud above the road, but now nothing could be seen.
The whole road was about a mile long, but it was as wide as five or six people holding hands and lined up side by side, and the whole road was a complete stone pavement, yes a complete stone slab. It is said that this road is actually the top of a mountain, and some people have even dug here ten zhang deep without seeing the bottom. As for why a mountain is as smooth as a stone slab, and why it turns from a mountain to a stone road, no one knows, it is said that there was already this road in the earliest and oldest generation of Luwu Township.
"But it's really dark ahead......" The little boy was inexplicably very afraid of this road, "Mother-in-law, can we go the other way?" He wanted to be obedient, but he really didn't dare to go.
"Don't be afraid of dogs~" The goddess never called him a dog, she always called him a dog very affectionately, like her grandson, "Let's go faster, we will be able to finish that road soon." This is a short way home, if you don't go here, you will have to walk a long, long way, aren't the dogs tired?" the goddess laughed as kindly as her face, and even if she couldn't see her expression at the moment, she listened to her kindness in her words.
She leaned over to the dog and persuaded her: "Dog, if you don't do this, you and your mother-in-law run together, let's run over quickly?
The little boy sounded a little more relieved, but he was afraid, and he knew that it wasn't because it was too dark, but he couldn't tell what he was afraid of. But since his mother-in-law said so, he thinks it's okay to take a walk, right?
He nodded, soft and glutinous: "Uh-huh......" sound.
"Oh, my mother-in-law's good dog, my mother-in-law's good dog. The goddess patted him gently as a sign of encouragement, and then led him forward, "Let's go quickly, hurry up and finish it, and the dog will not be afraid." ”
But the dog didn't dare to be held by her as before, as if he was insecure, he hugged the goddess tightly, and his two little hands were still tightly gripping the clothes on both sides of the goddess's body.
"It's okay, let's just hurry up. The goddess soothed the trembling little boy as she walked.
The little boy was still tense and tight, not slackening at all, and there was a hint of foreboding, and this premonition came from the little boy's intuition. She couldn't be clearer, the younger the child's anger, the easier it is to sense some bad things, could it be that there is really something wrong with the front?
She was guessing, and suddenly heard the little boy trembling in his little voice and whispering, "Mother-in-law...... There seems to be a donkey cart in front of ......"
The goddess sighed in her heart, can you still see things on this road? This is a road that even a close hand can't see! She came back to her senses and looked forward, and in a trance she actually saw a donkey cart!
The donkey cart was parked on the far right side of the road, and it was the kind of donkey cart that could pull goods, and instead of simply pulling a wooden plank, it was nailed to a low fence on all sides, and it was common for people to pull pumpkins and potatoes to the market and sell them at the market. Who would park the donkey cart here? Could it be that he was also a passer-by? Then why did he stop at the end of the road?
watched as they approached unconsciously, and they were more and more able to see clearly. She saw that there was no owner near the donkey cart, could it be that she had a sudden urgency to go to the side of the road to solve it? No! The goddess was so excited that it was impossible to see things on this road!
