Chapter 40: The Maze of Red Bamboo
"Ling Shao, it seems to be a small mountain villa in front, I didn't expect to pass by such a bustling city just now, and now I meet a small mountain villa, I don't know if there is anything delicious and fun in this small mountain villa?" Yu'er changed back to the original little girl's outfit at this moment, and as soon as her outfit changed, her temperament seemed to have changed.
"Yu'er, why do you only think about eating and playing? Zhang Ling saw that Yu'er became giggling again after changing back into her original outfit, and couldn't help frowning slightly when she talked about her.
"My Ling Shao, who am I now? It's a little girl, of course, there must be a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, so that it won't be discovered by those demons hiding in the shadows!" Hearing Zhang Ling talking about herself, Yu'er smiled and put her mouth to Zhang Ling's ear and said carefully.
"Oh, you seem to be pretty smart, okay, let's go, I'm a little hungry..." Zhang Ling also subconsciously touched his stomach.
Zhang Ling and Yu'er landed on the side of the stream at the bottom of the mountain, not far in front of them was a small col, in which there were dozens of families, and the smoke rose from every house, and it was obvious that this was the time for every family to cook.
Zhang Ling walked not far away and saw a villager man carrying some fishing nets in his left hand and some animal traps in his right hand. Seeing the situation, Zhang Ling and Yu'er greeted him.
"Uncle, I don't know what kind of place this is? The two of us came out to play, but we accidentally got lost, I don't know if Uncle can take us in for one night, our stomachs are really hungry. When Zhang Ling saw that the villager was kind-faced, he thought that they could take him and Yu'er for one night.
"Oh, you guys are really careless, you got lost here, okay, I don't look like you two are bad people, it just so happens that I am the only one living in my house, if you don't dislike it, come with me!" The big man saw that Zhang Lingyu'er didn't look like a bad person, so he smiled and agreed to take them in for one night.
"Thank you so much, Yu'er, let's go with my uncle!"
"Okay!" Yu'er happily followed Zhang Ling and the villagers when she saw the situation.
"This little brother, this is my home in front of you, please follow me in!"
When Zhang Ling saw the big man greeting, he looked at it, and saw that the roof of the house in front of him was not tiled, but grass, and the house was not made of bricks and soil, but made of bamboo, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Don't dislike my simplicity, I look at the outfits of the two of you and know that you are all from the big city, and you are definitely not used to our living customs, to be honest, I am very happy to have the two of you come to my house today, because I have no relatives and no reason, I have always lived alone, and besides, no one has been here in our Hongzhu Village for a long time. ”
The big man welcomed Zhang Ling and Yu'er to his house, asked them to sit down, and poured them tea, but what he said really surprised Zhang Ling.
"What? Is your village isolated?" Zhang Ling was puzzled when he heard the villager say that no one had been to this village for a long time, wondering if he had come to an isolated place.
"Well, it's been more than a hundred years, and no one of us has been able to go out or get in. Dahan sighed when he heard Zhang Ling's question.
"What? Zhang Ling looked at Yu'er suspiciously.
Yu'er was also puzzled when she heard Dahan say this, but she seemed to have guessed something.
"Don't hide it from the two of you, we... There are goblins!" Seeing that Zhang Ling seemed to have doubts in his heart, the big man thought for a moment, and finally said truthfully.
"What?" Zhang Ling and Yu'er shouted at the same time, they had just escaped from the clutches of the demons, how could they have broken into the land of demons again?
"Don't be afraid, the two said they were lost just now, and I also sweated for you, don't hide it from you, the reason why our village is called Hongzhu Village is because there is a bamboo forest opposite the stream in front of the village, and that bamboo forest is the only way to the outside world, and at night, the bamboo forest will emit bursts of red light in the sky, so we call it Hongzhu Village.
A hundred years ago, someone tried to go out at night, but never thought that in the forest encountered a huge red snake python, frightened to the soul, after the lucky escape back, the whole person was demented, every day always said "Ah, big snake, big snake!" and the like. Since then, no one has dared to go to the red bamboo forest and walk out of this village. By now, it has been more than a hundred years. ”
"There is such a thing!" Zhang Ling felt that it was too incredible after hearing this.
"I don't know how you two got lost here, I don't think you can go out for the time being, but don't worry, I will gladly take you in, and I will also gather the villagers to find a way to escort you out!" Dahan saw Zhang Ling's nervous expression, so he comforted him.
After that, the Han took out his own food to entertain Zhang Ling and them, because there was no way to go to the sky and no way to go down to the ground in this village, so every household made a living by hunting, and most of the food they brought up were some carnivorous fish, and some wild vegetables that Zhang Ling had never seen. However, although Zhang Ling was hungry, he was hungry, and he was still thinking about what the big man said while eating?
And Yu'er is different from Zhang Ling, although she has doubts in her heart, she still eats very well, and she is worthy of the Red Lotus Demon Spirit who has been cultivated for more than 6,000 years.
In the evening, Dahan arranged for them to enter the room to rest, because Dahan mistakenly thought that Zhang Ling and Yu'er were lovers, so he arranged them in a room. Zhang Ling was about to explain, but was stopped by Yu'er.
"Huh, why do you say we're a couple?" Zhang Ling asked complainingly after entering the room.
"It's not like a couple, so why did the uncle just say that we are a couple? Yu'er saw Zhang Ling's funny appearance, so she said with a smile.
When Zhang Ling heard Yu'er say this, he was about to clean her up, but Yu'er suddenly became serious, "Okay, I asked Uncle to arrange us in a room, isn't it just in case, to protect you all the time?"
Yu'er looked around and out the window, and said cautiously to Zhang Ling.
"That's what you said, huh, you said that we just escaped from the clutches of the devil, why did we fall into the realm of demons again?" Zhang Ling thought about it, the more he felt that his luck was good.
"Hehe, maybe this is a chance for God to give you exercise. Yu'er suddenly said seriously and thoughtfully.
"Okay, let's go to bed quickly, you sleep in the bed, I'll lay the floor, and we'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow." Zhang Ling saw that it was getting late, so he asked Yu'er to go to bed early, and gave the bed to Yu'er to sleep in.
"Ling Shao, why didn't you find out that you were so good to Yu'er before? Then I'm welcome!" Yu'er saw Zhang Ling sleeping on the ground, although she joked in her mouth, but in her heart, she was very moved...
"Sleep, you, get up early tomorrow, let's go to another house to have a look!" Zhang Ling saw Yu'er's verbosity and urged her to go to bed quickly, with a look of disgust.
