Lao Qin coughed lightly twice, and cleared his throat, it seemed that he was about to start speaking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Jin felt that the old man was a little procrastinating, just telling a story, and he hadn't gotten to the point for most of the day, and the candles on the table had burned a little half.....

"Let's talk about your master, Mu Xindao, first......" the village chief said.

"Mu Xin Dao Chang is not his own name, this is the honorific title given to him by industry insiders, I'm afraid no one knows his real name, including me. That was more than 20 years ago, and I have forgotten exactly when it happened, and in recent years, everyone has been deliberately forgetting about it, so I don't remember the time very clearly. ”

"That year, the heavy snow closed the mountain, Sandaoxing Village is located at the foot of the mountain, the road to the outside world is just that, no one has gone out all winter, and no one has come in, but fortunately, every family has some food, and there is no big problem in surviving this harsh winter. However, there was an accident in one family, and he suddenly found that all the food stored in his cellar was gone! Food was very important in that era when the productive forces were not developed, and there was not much material transportation between Sandaoxing Village and the outside world, and everyone in the village was self-sufficient, and there was no surplus grain. ”

"It's not that everyone doesn't want to help him, if there are only one or two people in his family, it will be fine, but unfortunately it is a large population, there are seven or eight people in total, and so many people open their mouths to eat, and it has suddenly become a big problem. The head of the household, whose name is Zhang Fengchun, is a large farmer in the village, and in a good harvest year, the family's grain storage can barely maintain the food and clothing of seven or eight people. ”

The food in the cellar was gone, Zhang Fengchun sat on the ground and cried bitterly, everyone in the village came to inspect the situation, but sympathy can't be eaten, the food in the villagers' homes is only enough for the family to survive, and if you want to eat a little bit, it's a luxury, you don't even have to think about it. Everyone gathered some food and sent it to Zhang Fengchun's house, at first he insisted on not accepting it, and he didn't know if it was because he couldn't save face or what the reason, everyone couldn't persuade him, so he simply left the food at his house, after all, the four children of the Zhang family have not grown up, and there is a newborn baby waiting to be fed. However, the grain that everyone squeezed out of their teeth was only two buckets of rice, and it seemed that it would not last for a few days. ”

Zhang Fengchun fell to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, and asked a few strong men in the village to go down to the cellar to check it out, but they didn't find any clues, let alone other tunnels dug through. He didn't believe the people of his village, at first he thought that someone had secretly dug a tunnel to his cellar and emptied all the grain, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, and there is no hole in the cellar that can accommodate a person to pass through. Zhang Fengchun couldn't accept such a result, he was in a hurry, and immediately collapsed to the ground, and when he was carried home, he had only one breath left, and he never got up again when he lay on the bed. ”

Lao Qin has paved the way so much, Feng Jin feels that this Zhang Fengchun's matter is just an introduction, and it is impossible for his family's food to suddenly disappear mysteriously, it should be something that happened.

Lao Qin continued: "There is such a thing in the village, everyone is surprisingly unanimous in asking for a thorough investigation, and it is not entirely for Zhang Fengchun, because every family will put their own grain storage in the cellar, and such a strange thing happened in the cellar of the Zhang family, and the same thing is likely to happen to other people. ”

"The Zhang family is in a difficult situation, the head of the household is paralyzed in bed, and everyone can't help it, and it's best to find out what happened, saying that if they can't, they can recover the disappeared food. However, it is not possible to check it indefinitely, and it is very physically exhausting to walk around outside every day, and the food stored by each household can only barely be enough to eat, so it will not last long. So half a month later, the investigation team was disbanded. ”

"And then?" Feng Jin asked.

"yes, what happened next?" Luo Hua echoed.

It seems that both of them are concerned about the future situation, Lao Qin simply sold a pass, was not in a hurry to tell the story, and began to drink tea again, but the wind was so anxious that he didn't stand or sit.

"What happened to the old Zhang family in the end?" Feng Jin asked again.

"It's not what you guessed, several members of their family finally came back to life, but they almost came back from the ghost gate, and they were so hungry that they rushed to eat something when they saw it, and everyone was shocked by the tragic situation." Old Qin Dao.

"What's the process like? What should have happened after the investigation team was disbanded, otherwise the old Zhang family would have starved to death......" Feng Jin said.

"Because things took a turn for the better, on that snowy night, a man suddenly came to the village. That's right, it's your master, Daoist Mu Xin. The village chief said.

"What was my master doing here?" Feng Jin asked curiously.

"Everyone didn't know, it was the middle of the night when Mu Xindao entered the village, everyone was asleep, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering wail from nowhere, which woke everyone up, and suddenly the whole village was lively, at first everyone didn't realize the danger, and there was no big reaction after hearing this howl, and the young adults in the village went out to check the situation and found that everyone didn't know what was going on."

"When everyone was at a loss, they noticed a figure not far away, and they couldn't find him if they didn't look closely, and it was a man in shape, dressed in white, very thin. It was the weather of March 9, and the snow had fallen for a few days and nights, and when I took a breath, I could see that it instantly turned into frost, but this figure was walking towards the crowd, the figure was unswerving, and the clothes were hunting in the north wind, and the person didn't seem to feel a trace of cold. ”

"Huh?!" Luo Hua exclaimed, and his shock was beyond words.

"We were all almost frightened, and in the middle of the night, such a mysterious figure suddenly appeared, and we couldn't help but tighten our clothes, but this person was only wearing a gauzy white cloth coarse coat, and everyone couldn't help but shiver." Old Qin Dao.

"One of us asked who he was and why he came to our village in the middle of the night. This person didn't speak at that time, standing there upright, and it didn't take long for a layer of snowflakes to pile up on his shoulders, everyone was puzzled, he shook the snowflakes on his body, and the whole person ran out dozens of meters in a breath, and when everyone saw him again, it was already under the archway at the end of the street. He held a long sword in his hand, pointed the sword forward, and he didn't know when a dark shadow appeared on the snow, and he couldn't see it too far away. ”

Hearing this, Feng Jin was also very curious, what was that black shadow lying on the ground?

Also, after following the master for so many years, I have never seen him use a sword? Could it be that the old man is still hiding his secrets?!

Feng Jin thought of too many related questions at once, and was stunned, Lao Qin smiled slightly, stopped talking, and drank tea quietly. (To be continued.) )
