(37) Danger

"Brother Zhi, I'm coming, you wait for me." In her sleep, Zhao Yan whispered, but she felt that there was a dark shadow floating in front of her in her dream, and she was suddenly startled and woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw a human face in front of me, but I couldn't see it clearly when I was too close, but I knew that it was definitely not Zhao Zhong or Cao Song, just because I caught a glimpse of this person's eyebrows and hair, as if he was an old man.

The man jumped backwards and said loudly, "Little doll, you are awake, why are you three little dolls asleep in the grass like this?" Zhao Yan only felt that the voice was full of breath and full of energy, but the voice was light and uninhibited, mixed and not serious, curious in her heart, and looked up, it was really an old man, and the black shadow in the dream seemed to be the old man dangling in front of her eyes.

I saw that this old man was dressed in a white robe and dragged to the ground, his eyebrows were like snow, his white beard was fluttering, he looked like a fairy wind and bones, and he was out of the dust, but he couldn't talk and do things like this, and he was surprised.

"Three little dolls asleep in the grass?" Zhao Yan had come to her senses at this time and recalled what the old man had just said. looked down, and sure enough, Cao Song was still lying on his lap, sleeping quietly. "Where's my brother? Didn't you say to be by our side? Looking to the side, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why is my brother asleep......

Hurriedly woke up Cao Song and Zhao Zhong, after the three of them fell asleep, they all felt a hundred times more energetic, Cao Song and Zhao Zhong both saw the old man in front of them, Cao Song asked, "Sister Yan, who is this old man?" ”

"Ah, it was this old gentleman who woke me up, or the three of us would have to sleep until night, but we wouldn't be able to go home, brother, why would you fall asleep." Zhao Yan said to Zhao Zhong, although her voice was slightly angry, it sounded soft, and she had no resentment.

Zhao Zhong was apologetic, embarrassed and said, "I wanted to take a nap for a while, but I didn't know ......" I looked up, and saw that the sun was setting, and it was already around the time of Shen, so I hurriedly walked to the old man, and saw that the old man was good-looking, so he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, old man, for waking us up." ”

"Hey, no thanks, no thanks." Saying that, the old man waved his white robe and long sleeves, and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, what do you have to do in this mountain?" But it was Cao Song who saw that this old man was interesting and so approachable, so he asked.

The old man didn't think it was strange at all, laughed and said, "There's nothing fun in this mountain, I just saw you three little dolls sleeping and having fun, old man, I will show people, do you want me to show you?" ”

"Good! All right! Grandpa, show me! Cao Song only found this matter very interesting, and pleaded again and again.

"Good!" The old man looked at Zhao Zhong first, he felt that this little doll was polite, so he wanted to show him first, saying that he was looking at his appearance, but his body was not leaning forward, so he looked at it from a distance. At first glance, he frowned, looked disdainful, turned his head to Cao Song without saying a word, and couldn't help nodding again and again, while holding his white beard and smiling, "You little guy is good, in the future, the official will be big, and the descendants will be even more expensive, haha." Cao Song was very happy when he heard the old man say this, and pointed at Zhao Yan and said, "Grandpa, you can also show Sister Yan!" ”

The old man nodded, and then looked at Zhao Yan. At this glance, the old man suddenly felt that his mind was blank, and his body and mind seemed to be deep in the void of the Desperate Realm, and he couldn't even bring up a single thought, as if he had forgotten all his fear, and he only felt that his whole body was fluttering, and he couldn't control himself.

"Bold! Look for death! Giving birth to this pair of tricks will only look randomly! This tongue only speaks gibberish! "I don't know where a woman's voice came from, if Zhao Yan hadn't fainted on the night she rescued Liu Zhi, you could hear that the voice was the voice of the woman in the cave that night.

Before the woman's words fell, I saw that the old man's eyes suddenly burst out of two pillars of blood, shooting straight into the grass, it seemed that the pain in his eyes made the old man recover a trace of consciousness, and he just said in his mouth, "No......" The word "good" has not yet been spoken, but a mouth, a piece of bloody flesh spit out, it is a large part of the old man's tongue.

The old man was so frightened that he pinched the trick in his hand again and again, and wanted to say, "Shrink the ground into inches!" But he couldn't say anything, he only spit out the blood in his mouth to the finger that had been pinched, and when the blood touched the old man's finger, it exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and the old man's figure disappeared in place with the blood mist.

Since hitting the old man's eyes with blood, the three teenagers have already been frightened by the instantaneous changes in front of them, Zhao Yan only felt weak, he was already slumped on the ground, turned his head behind him, how dare he see such a scene; There was silence for a while, but suddenly there was a "wow", Cao Song was already crying, and Zhao Zhong on the side only felt that his legs and feet were wet, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants.

"Trouble! Troublesome! The woman's voice was loud again, and there was great impatience in her voice.

But after a few breaths, Zhao Zhong's brother and sister and Cao Song fell to the ground at the same time, as if they fell asleep again......

I don't know how long it took, the three of them all woke up slowly, and they seemed to wake up at the same time, only to feel that their bodies seemed to be covered by a curtain, and they could only hear the sound of horses' hooves under their feet, and sometimes their bodies were upside down, and the three of them suddenly turned out to be in the carriage. But I don't know who is driving, Zhao Zhong opened the curtain and looked forward, the three of them were surprised, it turned out that the horse was walking by itself, Zhao Zhong knew that it was the carriage he hired, but it had been tied to the tree in advance, but he didn't know who had untied the reins, the horse wanted to eat grass, so he just walked towards the grass.

When the three of them saw that it was already dark, they did not know where the horse had taken them, and their faces were gloomy.

"Brother, did you carry me and Song'er into the carriage? Why did you fall asleep in the car yourself? Zhao Yan saw that there was nothing to be done about the surrounding situation, so she asked Zhao Zhong.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I see that you and the little master are asleep by the tree, and you want to take a nap, but you also fall asleep, so who got us into this carriage?" Both of them looked at Cao Song suspiciously, but Cao Song looked innocent, and the two sighed and knew that it was not him.

"Sister Yan, it's Song'er who is not good, she said that she wanted Brother Hezhong to look at you, but she also fell asleep......" The three of them had no impression of the old man in white shirt and the bloody scene before, only remembered that the three of them fell asleep by the tree, Zhao Yan's heart moved faintly, as if she remembered that she had a similar experience of waking up but changing places, but she couldn't remember what it was.

Just in their doubts, all three of them got out of the carriage, and they couldn't let the horse walk on the reins, "Oh, I'm so hungry!" But it was Cao Song who greeted him on the side and said that he was hungry, but he could only hear the sound of cooing, but it was not the sound of Cao Song's stomach, Zhao Zhong laughed, it turned out that he was also very hungry. Cao Song was already hungry in the carriage, and seeing that the Zhao Zhong brothers and sisters were wondering why they were in the carriage, they didn't want to disturb the two of them thinking, but they couldn't help being hungry at this time.

"Sister, you're hungry too, aren't you?" Zhao Zhong asked Zhao Yandao.

"It's okay......" Zhao Yan really didn't feel how hungry, and said softly, "Brother and Song'er are hungry, I don't know what to find in the barren mountains this night, let's make some fire in the open space first, and eat some leftover dry food." ”

"Good!" Zhao Zhong took out the flint from the package, and the three of them found some dead branches around and gathered in an open space, then lit a fire, and Zhao Zhong took out the dry food. The three of them only thought about going back to Cao's Mansion before dinner, and they didn't bring much dry food, so there wasn't much left. Zhao Zhong distributed the remaining dry food to Cao Song and Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan gave it to Cao Song, Cao Song ate a few bites and then it was gone, still not full, seeing that Zhao Zhong's brothers and sisters were not finished with rice, they couldn't bear to shout hungry anymore.

Zhao Yan remembered that he and Liu Zhi had nothing to eat that night, so they went to catch the hare, although they didn't catch it and provoked the white snake, but if there was a hare in the wilderness now, they could also solve their urgent needs, so they picked up a torch from the fire to illuminate it, and looked around. The firelight flickered, and sure enough, I saw a black shadow beating in the grass, and I was surprised that there was such a coincidence, and I could have whatever I wanted, and the firelight stretched out again, and this time I saw that it was really a rabbit.

Looking at the shadows beating next to him, he wondered how could there be so many rabbits, "Hey, didn't you go to the rabbit garden in Liangji?" Zhao Zhong and the others were curious about what Zhao Yan was looking at, so they both pulled out a thick branch from the fire and waved it in the direction Zhao Yan was shining.

"Bunny!" Cao Song was overjoyed, thinking about the smooth and delicious feeling of roast rabbit meat, he was already salivating, and couldn't help but walk towards the hare.

"Song'er, ......slow down" Zhao Yan remembered that if this was really the rabbit garden, Uncle Xiahou once said that losing a rabbit was a capital crime, although no one knew at this time, if it was found out that Cao Song ate it, Liang Ji would not be able to do anything in Cao Teng's face, but he also gave birth to trouble, which made Uncle Cao embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to see his brother and Cao Song hungry in their stomachs, and he didn't persuade him to stop.

But seeing that Zhao Zhong didn't wait for Cao Song to make a move, he had already rushed forward, pounced in the east and grabbed in the west. He has been in the countryside for a long time, and this matter of catching a hare is a matter of hand, and after a while, he has caught one, and walked to Cao Song with a rabbit ear in one hand and smiled and walked to Cao Song to ask for credit, Cao Song was so happy that he clapped his hands again and again.

Zhao Zhong killed the hare, simply removed the rabbit hair, then put it on a thick branch and roasted it on the fire, and said to Zhao Yan, "Yan'er, you roast the little master first, and then I will catch two ......" Saying that, he went into the grass again, and Zhao Yan saw that the rabbit was really missing a handful of hair on its hind legs.

"Sister Yan, I'm coming!" Cao Song held the thick branch with both hands and turned left and right on the fire, the rabbits in this rabbit garden were not hunted on weekdays, and the fat was abnormal. Only a quarter of an hour of the hare's grease dripped on the fire, and the fragrance overflowed, and Zhao Zhong on the side had already grabbed the other two and handed them to Zhao Yan, and roasted them respectively, Cao Song's own had been roasted first, and he tore off the two hind legs and gave them to Zhao Zhong's brothers and sisters, and he also ate them.

"Although we overslept and didn't step on the green very well, we ate such delicious rabbit meat, which is not bad! Isn't it, Sister Yan? Cao Song was in a good mood after eating, and said to Zhao Yan with joy.

Zhao Yan also smiled and nodded, Zhao Zhong couldn't help laughing while nibbling on rabbit meat, but he heard the sound of rustling in the grass at this time, but the movement was much louder than the sound of a hare, and after a while, such a sound seemed to sound in all directions, and the three of them were shocked in their hearts, and they ate a few more bites, and they all picked up a torch and looked into the grass.

I saw a large black shadow in the grass, and the fire was shining on a person, but the person was like an old man with a dragon clock, walking towards the three of them step by step, and the three of them shone around, but they saw six or seven figures, all of them were people, and there was a faint tendency to surround the three people, and the three of them only felt a tingling of their scalps, and they didn't know how there were so many people in the wilderness grassland this night.

"Is it the caretaker of the Rabbit Garden?" Zhao Yan remembered that Xiahou'an said that there were guards in the rabbit garden, thinking that he saw the firelight and smelled the smell of roasted rabbits, so he came to arrest them.

"I'm sorry! The three of us couldn't go home at night, and we were so hungry that we caught the rabbits in your garden and roasted them, and we will pay you the money for these three rabbits, hoping that you will not be surprised. Zhao Yan said loudly to the person closest to him, Cao Song and Zhao Zhong were puzzled, and said in their hearts, "Aren't these hares, they have owners?" Hearing Zhao Yan say this, she also echoed it.

But seeing that the man ignored Zhao Yan's words at all, he still walked towards the three of them step by step, "If you have something to say, don't do it!" Zhao Zhong saw that this person didn't speak, but he wanted to make a move, so he shouted urgently.

The man was only a few steps away from the three of them at this time, and the three of them took a breath of cold air when the fire lit up, only to see that the body and head of this person were swollen like floating balls, and long blood stains flowed from his eyes, mouth and nose, all of which had already flowed to his neck, but the blood seemed to have dried up long ago.

Frightened, the three of them wanted to run as fast as they could, but their legs and feet were so weak that they only stepped back and shouted to the others, "What's wrong with your companion?" Hurry up and save him! ”

The rest of the people didn't say a word, and the three of them were so shocked that they looked at the others, but seeing that one person's thin cheeks were sunken and his eyes were protruding, Zhao Zhong suddenly remembered that he heard the ghost surnamed Mu Fushang say in the market, and he was already kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to move.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Stand up! Zhao Yan was so shocked that she also shouted, at this time, these six or seven people had surrounded the three of them, and they couldn't escape, but how good was this!
