In the hall of the Guan family, there are only a few simple tables and chairs, and there is no extra decoration. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Mu Shan entered the hall, he saw the lord of Guan Zhuang sitting on a wooden chair and looking at him with a serious face: "Mu Shan, the county commander has sent an order, and he urgently needs a high-quality bear bile to treat his wife's eye disease, so we must deliver it for him within three days." The ordinary brown bears near Tianyin Village are naturally not in the eyes of the county magistrates, so I want you to go to the back mountain and help me hunt a wild bear back, and the price is up to you, what do you think? ”

Hmph, fool me with such words, when I was a three-year-old?

Mu Shan raised his eyebrows, and flatly refused: "Master Guanzhuang, you should know very well what kind of place the back mountain is, but whoever goes in has never come back alive." You let me go hunting in the back mountains, didn't you let me go to death! What's more, if the county magistrate wants high-quality bear bile, he can buy it in other counties, or offer a high reward, and Guanjiazhuang, what does it have to do with me! ”

"This ......" Guan Zhuang's face froze, he muttered for a while, his tone began to ease slightly, and his attitude was no longer so tough: "Mu Shan, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads!" Tianyin Village is under the jurisdiction of Nanping County, and our life and death are in the hands of the county commander. This time he conveyed the order, but he didn't mention the reward for silver, and then thought of his personality, but he was afraid that it was also a ******** calculation. This time, I had to pay for the silver money to buy bear bile out of my own pocket, which is not easy! Moreover, the back mountain is a forbidden place for ordinary people, and it is nothing to you. I've sent someone to inquire, but you've come back from hunting in the back mountains more than once. This time, you should do me a favor, go up the back mountain again, hunt a bear back, and I will definitely not treat you badly when the time comes! ”

"Hehe, Master Guan, you don't know it, don't treat me as a hairy child who has never seen the world."

A ray of light flashed in Mu Shan's eyes, and he sneered: "The villages under the jurisdiction of Nanping County are not only our Tianyin Village, why would this kind of drudgery fall to Tianyin Village and to your Guan Zhuang master." It's clear that you want to tie up with others, and take over the work yourself, why should I take the risk! ”

"You ......" Guan Zhuang's expression was extremely exciting, green for a while, white for a while, and after repeating this several times, he said with difficulty: "You say with your conscience, how have I treated your mother and son over the years!" Your mother works in my village, and I always pick the most leisurely and comfortable ones for her. Even you, who never let you do those dirty work, are you repaying me like this! ”

Mu Shan didn't eat this set, his neck was horizontal, and he replied in a bold manner: "Master Guan, don't say it so high-sounding, we will work for you without pretending, but we have always done a job to receive a money, and we have never lost our hearts." If you think this is a gift to our mother and son, it's a big deal that we leave. With hands and feet, can we leave your Guanjiazhuang, and our mother and son will not starve to death! ”

The owner of Guan Zhuang looked at Mu Shan, who had a firm face and turned around to leave, he could no longer maintain his demeanor, so he quickly got up from the wooden chair, took two steps forward, and persuaded: "Virtuous nephew, wait." Well, I'll be honest with you. The county ordered the adults to ask for high-quality bear bile, and the news was true, and I asked a friend in the county government to hear about it. ”

Seeing that Mu Shan was soft and hard, the owner of Guan Zhuang could only put down his body and played the emotional card: "I did this completely for auspiciousness." As a father, you should always think about the future of your children. If you can take this opportunity to show grace to the county magistrate, plus a little money to open the way, you can buy an official and a half-job for Geely in the county, find a background, and have some interest in the future. You and Geely grew up together and are like brothers, don't you want to help him? ”

Lucky......

Mu Shan couldn't help but think of Geely's delicate face, his heart softened slightly, and then saw the pleading eyes of the owner of Guan Zhuang, and suddenly remembered the scene when Qin Mei pleaded with Qinglong for herself at night, sighed softly, and walked straight out of the hall: "Three or five days if it's fast, half a month if it's slow, take good care of my mother for me, don't let her know that I went to the back mountain." ”

Guan Zhuang looked at Mu Shan's departing back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your mother for you, and you have to be more careful!" ”

Out of Guanjiazhuang, Mu Shan hurried back to his thatched house, pulled out a somewhat old wooden box from under the bed, opened the box, revealing one of the purple swords, took it into his hand, and gently rubbed it: "The ancient sword hidden box is self-resonant, and once it is out of the sheath, the world is shocked!" Ward off evil spirits, but unfortunately the time has not yet come. ”

The ancient sword to ward off evil spirits, first under Mu Shan's touch, flowed with dazzling purple mang, and then heard Mu Shan's words, as if spiritual, the purple mang gradually dimmed.

Mu Shan reluctantly put the evil spirit back into the box, gently closed the lid of the box, hid it under the wooden bed again, and then picked up an ordinary iron sword in the house, and strode out.

…………

The ancient wood, because no one has cut it down for a long time, grows unusually luxuriantly, blocking most of the sunlight cast by the sky.

The back mountain, even in the middle of the day, still carries a little coldness.

As soon as Mu Shan entered the back mountain, the nerves in his body tensed involuntarily, as if in the dark, in some unknown corner, there was a pair of cold eyes, silently watching him.

Mu Shan followed the route in his impression, quickly flying in the mountains and forests, he also once hunted brown bears and took bear bile for Qin Mei to eat, so he also had a little understanding of the living habits of brown bears.

Through the cover of branches and leaves, the small pieces of sunlight cast tenaciously swayed back and forth on Mu Shan's stiff face.

"What a smell! Wait......" Mu Shan's nose fluttered rapidly, and there was a trace of doubt on his face: "This smell is like the smell of corpses emitted by corpses that have been decomposing for a long time after death." Moreover, how can it be similar to what you smell in Tianyin Village! ”

Mu Shan covered his nose with one hand and walked cautiously along the source of the smell. Although Mu Shan's reason told him that he should leave immediately and hunt a brown bear as soon as possible so that he could return to the errand. It's just that there is a cat's paw gently scratching in his heart, so he can't give up his curiosity.

As the distance closes, the rotten stench becomes more and more intense, and even faintly mixed with a hint of blood!

Just by smelling the blood, you can conclude that the blood has not yet coagulated, but the smell of decaying corpses, obviously the smell of the corpses of some animal that has been dead for a long time, two contradictory smells, but strangely blended together.

What's up ahead?

Mu Shan tiptoed forward, trying his best to adjust his breathing, like a tiger locked on its prey, quietly sneaking forward.

It was the black cloud that drifted through the sky in the morning!

What's in the dark clouds? Could it be some kind of demon?

Mu Shan hid on the top of a lush tree, brushed aside the branches and leaves that hid his figure, revealing a slight gap, and secretly looked ahead.

That's ......, such a big python, I'm afraid it's already become a sperm!

In Mu Shan's line of sight, the black cloud was hovering across the ground.

A giant python the size of a bucket passed through the black clouds, lying motionless on the ground, its whole body was black, obviously poisoned.

The black clouds continued to roll and roll, the python's body twitched from time to time, and the snake's mouth opened slightly, as if it was suffering something, but it couldn't make a sound.

"Ga ......" There was a long chirp from the black clouds, the sound was like that of a duck, but with a deep and inexhaustible ferocity!

Oops, found out!
