The sky is clear and clear, and the stars in the sky are glowing softly.

Frost-stained maple trees rise and fall along the mountain, burning like flames to the last of their lives. The starry town is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by autumn leaves, and is peaceful and serene.

Yan Songbei put the last three flavors of medicine according to the position of the label, pressed the protective button on the window, washed his hands, picked up the teapot, and a familiar melody came from next door.

The music flowing from under the keys was gentle and pleasant, and he stood still and listened for a while before he came back to his senses and said to the house, "Yangzi, go and help Yuanyuan." ”

Yangzi is his only son, the big name Yanzi Yang, the small name Yangzi, usually at this time in the yard for the first selection of herbs, but today there is no one.

He didn't wait for a response, shook his head, put the teapot down, and walked towards the bookstore.

On the road, people walked towards the bookstore one after another, most of them for the sound of the piano that could not be thundered every day.

The interior of the bookstore is cosy and quiet, with rows of valuable paper books displayed on the shelves, adding a touch of quaint and heavy atmosphere. Most of the customers of the bookstore are regular customers, and after entering the door, they will find a familiar location, and then use the Guò intelligent system to find the books they are interested in, and buy temporary reading rights for a few hours.

A cup of delicious tea made by the boss, a book, accompanied by the sound of the piano, a peaceful afternoon was spent. If they really like it, guests will also grit their teeth and buy the whole book for permanent reading so that they can savor it later. It's just that if you want to take home the paper books on the shelf, it's not a small amount.

Yan Songbei saw that the store was in order, so he turned around and went home, walked two steps, remembered that he hadn't seen Egg Yuanyuan just now, and couldn't help sighing, "Bacheng is in trouble again and doesn't dare to come back, when will these two little broken children grow up?" ”

At this moment, the little broken boy Yuan Yuan brushed aside a layer of dead leaves piled up on the wall, poked his head and stared into his yard with round eyes.

Yan Ziyang stood under the wall, supported her feet with her shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" ”

Dan Yuanyuan lowered his head and "shh

The leaves of the star fruit tree swayed gently in the breeze, and a few ripe fruits showed their black butts between the leaves. Egg Yuanyuan swallowed his saliva, he hadn't eaten lunch yet, he was so hungry......

She didn't dare to go back.

On impulse, she beat the mayor's only fat son again, and he was beaten to death, lying on the ground for a long time and unable to get up.

She still remembers that after beating the fat man last time, the mayor sent the police over!

I almost scared the pee.

The most tragic thing is that not only did her father-in-law not protect her, but also beat her ass in a rage, causing her to hide in the Yan family's medicinal herb warehouse and cry for a day.

Alas, it's all tears.

Under the star fruit tree, his stepfather Seon was playing the piano intently, and his silver hair hanging down to his waist swayed gently with his dancing fingers, covering his expression.

…… Are you angry?

Dan Yuanyuan clinged to the wall with both hands, listening to the sound of the piano.

She doesn't know how many times she listened to it since she was a child, and she had different feelings every time. Today, somehow, the more I listen, the more I feel empty.

Just when he was debating whether to go back and apologize, the sound of the piano suddenly changed, and a killing aura rolled over the egg round with the strong sound of the piano. Danyuanyuan's heart shook, and she almost fell off the wall, and in a hurry, she grabbed the raised stone at the head of the wall, and the sharp stone horns pierced her palm, causing her to gasp in pain.

Seon twitched at his fingertips and turned his head.

Egg Yuanyuan was so frightened that he turned around and ran, and in a panic, he forgot that he stepped on a swallow Yang under his feet, pulled and pulled, and fell to the ground with a "poof", and tripped Yan Ziyang and stumbled on the mud.

The swallow had thick skin and thick flesh, and the fall was not heavy, so she got up and pulled her, "Did it hurt to fall?" Sorry, I just ......"

Egg Yuanyuan was so painful that tears were about to fall, but his mouth was still stiff: "I'm fine." ”

Yan Ziyang worried: "What should we do? Or you go home first, and if the mayor finds him, he will say that I beat him. ”

The fundamental reason why Dan Yuanyuan didn't dare to go back was because he was afraid of Seon, not the mayor. If Seon knew that she was looking for someone to blame, then it is estimated that within a year, she would not want to go out again.

She said with a slumped face: "I don't want you to take the blame for doing things!" Hmph, I've decided, I'm going to beat the fat guy again until he agrees to keep it a secret. ”

Yan Ziyang was very helpless, although he sympathized with the fat man, but for the sake of the egg round, he let it go.

The place to beat the fat man is in the Stone Forest Grand Canyon, the amusement park of the egg round.

In fact, the cause of this incident is very simple, that is, the big fat man inadvertently broke into the amusement park of Egg Yuanyuan, and he was ashamed: "This will be my territory in the future, hahahaha!" ”

Dan Yuanyuan rushed forward with a fist clenched and punched him in the nose......

As its name suggests, the canyon is full of strange stone peaks, the egg round dots, there are a total of one hundred and fifteen, like a huge sword rising from the ground and not connected.

After they walked to the foot of the mushroom peak that had beaten the big fat man, Yan Ziyang rushed up first. He felt that if he didn't give Egg Yuanyuan a chance to do it this time, even if the fat man sue, he would sue him more.

The teenager's mind is easy to understand, but reality is not powerful.

Because, the fat man is gone.

Yan Ziyang was puzzled: "What about people? Ran away? After saying that, I felt that it was impossible, after all, Egg Yuanyuan had experience in beating people, and if you want to make the other party unconscious for three hours, it may be possible to wake up within two and a half hours, not to mention that the other party is a big fat man with a wide body and a weak body.

When Dan Yuanyuan looked at it, he was also at a loss.

She looked up at the mountain road back to the town, which was a narrow straight road at a seventy-degree angle, and a person as weak as a fat man could not climb up even if he woke up. Besides, there is only one mountain road, and if someone sees him unconscious and takes him back, eighty percent will also meet him.

Could it be that he was bitten by a wild beast?

Dan Yuanyuan thought about it, and finally felt that he was still in the canyon, so he said: "No matter, he must still be there, and we will know what is going on when we find him." ”

Although the two are young, they have been friends for seven or eight years, and the tacit understanding is not a problem, they walked around the stone peak in two directions, and Dan Yuanyuan only walked away a few steps, when he heard the cry of Yan Ziyang, and hurriedly ran over.

Yan Ziyang pointed to the recessed piece with his finger and said, "Do you think something is wrong here?" ”

Dan Yuanyuan walked over, reached out and patted the recess, and the dirt fell with a clatter. She was stunned and said, "You practiced boxing in the morning?" ”

Yan Ziyang shouted, "No! It's not that you don't know that your father-in-law said that you can't destroy a single grass or tree here when practicing boxing! Otherwise, you won't teach me in the future. ”

Dan Yuanyuan smiled: "I'm just talking casually, don't be so excited." Let's take a look. ”

The two walked around the mushroom peak, and found a lot of strange similar traces, and they didn't know how to cause them.

Yan Ziyang scratched his head, "No, could it be that the fat man got it after you beat him?" He's not that good, is he!? Did you see any of these this morning? ”

The little face the size of the egg round slap wrinkled, "I practiced the piano this morning, but I didn't come down." She spread her fingers and compared them to one mark, "Like a ten-fold magnified claw?" ”

Yan Ziyang was startled: "It can't be a worm!" ”

That being said, the faces of the two of them turned white in unison.

I don't know when it began, everyone in the town talked about insect discoloration. Some time ago, an expert said, "In less than ten years, the Zerg will make a comeback." Although the remark was scornful, the unease spread.

Egg Yuanyuan didn't dare to think about it, she turned on the video on her wrist, took a set of pictures from front to back, left and right, and sent them back to Seong, and then said to Yanzi: "I passed the picture to my father-in-law, what is it he will tell us." Now our priority is to find the fat man. ”

After talking for a while, she didn't hear Yan Ziyang answer, she turned her head to see that Yan Ziyang was dialing his father's video.

Dan Yuanyuan stomped his feet, waited for him to finish the call, and dragged him forward. Following the trails, they soon found the Hollow Peak. The Hollow Peak is a hollowed-out stone peak with large and small stone caves, most of which are the same, and they used to play hide and seek in it.

At this point, they saw that the traces led all the way to the cave.

Yan Ziyang raised her feet and wanted to rush inside, but was pulled by Egg Yuanyuan, she squatted down outside the cave, held her breath and listened carefully.

The Grand Canyon is quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing.

As soon as the two of them calmed down, they heard the sound of heavy breathing inside, mixed with the sound of ear-chilling claws scratching stones, which was uncomfortable to listen to.

Yan Ziyang's face instantly turned as white as a piece of paper, and the six gods asked ownerlessly, "What should I do?" Let's go back and tell everyone! ”

Egg Yuanyuan stretched out his index finger and shook it, with a "shhhh Your father, I and my stepfather know about it, and they will come over immediately. We have to find the fat man first. ”

Yan Ziyang swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "Will the fat man have ......?" The picture was so terrible that he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Dan Yuanyuan's face was not much better at the moment, and she felt terrified when she thought of that picture, but now that there was no blood outside, she couldn't retreat. As soon as they followed, maybe the fat man would be killed by them. She took a deep breath, pressed Yan Ziyang's shoulder and said, "You calm down!" There was no blood outside, the fat man might not be dead yet, what if he died after we left? I have to stay here. ”

Yan Ziyang was about to cry, "What if the worm escapes?" ”

Egg Yuanyuan was also scared.

She clenched her fists and pressed them on her thighs, desperately trying to force herself to calm down.

Finally suppressed the fear, looked up and saw Yanzi trembling lips, her face was pale and pale, she didn't show a trace of timidity, and said calmly: "That thing is not necessarily stronger than us, we have fists, we can beat it!" ”

Since they were sensible, they have beaten the invincible opponents all over the town, how can they be casually afraid of something they have never even seen? Yan Ziyang was successfully persuaded by her, and her fists were clenched tightly, "Yes, beat it!" If we can't beat it with our fists, we'll use knives! ”

This sentence reminds the egg round.

She has hidden a lot of good things in the Stone Forest Grand Canyon.

She asked Yanzi Yang to stare at the entrance of the cave, and she ran to the foot of Shishi Peak and swung her fist at the marked place.

With a snap, the stone bounced open at the groove, revealing a swarthy hole. She put her hand in, grabbed a stick about fifty centimeters long, put it in her hand, checked it, and returned to the cave and said, "I don't have a knife, I have this." ”

Yan Ziyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "This...... Can such a thing work? You wait for me, I'll go get the knife. ”

Egg Yuanyuan said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, this is a self-defense weapon given to me by my father-in-law!" ”

Yanzi said hurriedly: "Don't be impulsive, wait for me." Without waiting for her answer, he took a step and ran away.

Dan Yuanyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him.

She squatted in place for a few minutes, and before Yan Ziyang could go, she was worried that the fat man would be gnawed by the insects, so she poked her head out and looked inside.

At this glance, she was taken aback.

The light in the cave is a little dim, a huge insect with two horns on its head sits in the center of the stone cave, the skin is gray and green, the belly is like a leaky leather ball, drooping, the two paws holding the belly are all black hair, and a row of bone spurs on the back of the hand are protruding, pointed, like needles, which looks particularly ferocious.

Underneath its buttocks were five or six gray-green eggs, the size of a basketball, smeared with slime, and the exposed part of it lay together in scarlet scarlet.

Dan Yuanyuan didn't know if he was taken by this legendary insect or was too scared, the blood in his body coagulated in an instant, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

Female worm!

It was the female worm she had heard about countless times!
