The two of them left the burning wooden house, and their hearts were not at peace. I walked straight for an hour before I found a cave. Dense vines hung down from the hill to cover the entrance of the cave, and only a few wisps of clear light could seep in. Qin Fei looked out from the gap in the vine and said, "It looks like there will be another good rain tonight." ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "Will it rain if the moonlight is so good?" Sir isn't joking, is he? ”

Qin Fei smiled and shook his head. After a while, the moonlight really dimmed, and the dark clouds gradually swelled like a tide, and in an instant they filled the sky, and after a while, there was a "rumbling" thunder faintly coming from afar.

Xiang Chonghua exclaimed: "This southern country is really strange, seeing that it is about to enter winter, there will be thunder. ”

Qin Fei said with a smile: "Autumn thunder is not common even in the south. In the past fifty years, it has only appeared once in the country of Yi and Qi. ”

Xiang Chonghua sighed: "As the saying goes, when there is thunder in autumn, there are thieves everywhere. But now we are surrounded by murderous robbers. ”

Qin Fei said: "In autumn, Japan should be restrained, but now there is thunder, it can be seen that the yin and yang in the world are out of balance, and it will really be chaotic in the world." ”

Xiang Chonghua said excitedly: "The sage thinks that whether it is a great rule or a great chaos, strange monsters will appear in the world. I've heard that there is a strange beast called Yanwei, and if you eat its meat, you can dominate the world, and I really want to see it. ”

Qin Fei said with a smile: "I heard that the Shaohao clan has no talent, slandering evil loyalty, worshipping evil words, and the world is called poor." This poor man eats good people and helps bad people, don't meet you. ”

Xiang Chonghua smiled bitterly: "Wouldn't everyone be happy when a rebel like me encountered it?" ”

Qin Fei said seriously: "In my opinion, you, a rebellious rebel, are much better than those so-called filial sons in the palace." Your fault is that you are not pretentious and overzealous. He paused and said, "Don't keep calling me sir, I'm the same age as you, you can call me Brother Qin or Qin Fei." ”

Xiang Chonghua was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "I heard that when the world is in chaos, there will not only be strange beasts, but also countless powerful ghosts. They like to wander in the barren mountains and forests the most, and they don't know if it's true or not. The thunder became denser and denser, mixed with the sound of "crackling" rain even more terrifying.

Xiang Chonghua suddenly grabbed Qin Fei's hand and said in a low voice, "Brother Qin, have you heard anyone laughing?" ”

Qin Fei was already a little scared, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk nonsense, where is anyone laughing in the wilderness in this ghost weather?" ”

Xiang Chonghua shook his head and said, "No, it's not laughing, it's crying." Why is this cry so miserable? ”

Qin Fei's fingers had already begun to get cold, he took a breath of cold air and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, where are the ghosts in broad daylight." After speaking, he felt that he was incoherent, Xiang Chonghua had already stood up, and the blade of his sword came out of the sheath.

Qin Fei's goosebumps all came out of his body, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "You take a good look, listen carefully, there are only two of us here!" Don't be suspicious! ”

But he suddenly shut up as well. A sharp scream and laughter came from outside the cave.

Xiang Chonghua quickly kicked out the bonfire and said in a low voice, "You wait inside." "Lifted the vines and rushed into the rain. The torrential rain raged in the mountains and forests like a long-suppressed anger. Xiang Chonghua's eyes almost only opened a slit, and he could only follow the shouting and roaring forward. There was a thunderclap, and the thunder rolled down, and Xiang Chonghua only felt deafening. The frightening shouts were getting closer, but it was too dark to see anything. Finally, another bolt of lightning tore through the dark firmament, illuminating the face distorted by intense emotion. It was definitely not an outstanding face, even if it was placed in the same fortune teller, it could be said to be the most ordinary, but Xiang Chonghua still recognized him at a glance. There seems to be something unusual about this ordinary person. But what is not ordinary, no one can say clearly.

The fury of the wind and thunderbolt was intertwined into a dense net, but it could not suppress the crazy roar and crying laughter of the fortune teller. His old gray shirt had been drenched in a deep black, but his disheveled white hair was as white as dry bones. The knife-like cold wind blew into the placket of his soaked clothes, but instead he pulled the placket even wider, revealing his right shoulder with a large scar, and laughed loudly: "Don't you can't tolerate me, don't you all want to harm me?" I wasn't the only one who survived! You are all sanctimonious, but you are not as good as a dog! Don't you call yate yourself to be gentlemen? Don't you think you're on top? I want to see how ugly you are when you die! ”

He laughed maniacally, then suddenly raised his head and glared fiercely at Thunderbolt, baring his fang-like teeth. A series of thunderbolts rolled across the sky, and he repeatedly rubbed a beast-like roar in his throat: "Old man Zhuang, what if you have "Deviance"? What if you have the help of someone surnamed Zhu? Haven't I escaped, haven't I lived happier than anyone else? I'm not afraid of you! ”

He staggered back, pointed to the sky rolling with dark clouds like a sea of rage, and scolded, "Do you think I'm really bad enough to be toyed with by a woman? I'm telling you, I'm just using her too. ”

In a flash of lightning, a snow-bright dagger suddenly appeared in the old man's deadwood-like hand, and stabbed it fiercely into his right shoulder. Hot blood flowed down the dagger, as red as the small umbrella that had been propped up on his head more than twenty years ago.

The pear-like woman under the red umbrella squatted down, her white fingers gently caressing his hot forehead, showing friendly pity for the man who was lying in the mud and embarrassed. He licked the blood from the blade and laughed like weeping.

It was also a rainy night with autumn thunder. He held her hand and confidently told her that no one could separate them. Her eyes were desperate and painful, like a long-planned decision hidden in her heart.

Why did she give him hope when he was so desperate that he was about to be relieved? Why did she destroy everything with her own hands when he was about to learn to believe?

He shuddered and turned white all night in the trap she had locked. The sunlight and the moonlight were all separated from the strongest cage in the world, and the only light was the cold light of the sneering dagger on his body. He used the cold light to cut through his own flesh, filled with hunger and resentment, and finally crawled out of the cage. The wound was on his right shoulder, and he couldn't forget it.

The old man laughed wildly and raised his blade again, but Xiang Chonghua's body had already pounced, firmly controlling his wrist. The two immediately twisted into a ball. Fortunately, the rain did not end, the wind, rain and thunder finally gradually subsided, and the moonlight sprinkled the earth again, as calm as if nothing had happened.

Xiang Chonghua carried the old man back to the cave, and while relighting the bonfire, he bandaged his wounds. Qin Fei took out a clean dress from his baggage and handed it to Xiang Chonghua, saying, "You are really bold enough, no one dares to drag back, aren't you afraid of dragging back a goblin?" ”

Xiang Chonghua helped the old man change his clothes and said: "This old man is a famous god operator in Qingfeng Town, last time Qin Rou almost put my life into it in order to find him for divination. Didn't Brother Qin know him? ”

Qin Fei replied casually: "How can I compare with that girl, the master never allowed me to go down the mountain." After speaking, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at Xiang Chonghua.

Xiang Chonghua didn't notice it at all, just looked at a purse and said to himself: "The flowers on this purse are so strange, they are obviously white flowers, why are the stamens red?" Speaking of which, it is somewhat similar to the blood pear flower. ”

Qin Fei suddenly snatched the purse, checked it for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, there is no poison." ”

Xiang Chonghua exclaimed: "Could it be that this old man was also poisoned like that just now?" ”

Qin Fei said: "He just caused a madness because of stimulation, and he will be fine after resting for a while." ”

The old man suddenly groaned and said in a low voice, "Xiaoci, why do you want to do this to me? I'm so ......" didn't open his eyes, but seemed to want to stand up again.

Xiang Chonghua hurriedly held him down, and said with a wry smile: "This old man's strength is really not small, I can't hold him down if I don't use too much force, but I'm afraid of hurting him if I work too hard." He freed his left hand and connected points to the old man's body, and the old man was not only not restrained, but his hands and feet were swinging wildly. Xiang Chonghua was sweating profusely and shouted to Qin Fei, "Brother Qin, is there any way to stabilize him first?" ”

Qin Fei rolled up his sleeves, picked up a big stone and lifted it, and said, "It's easy to say." You catch him, as long as he smashes it down according to Baihui's acupoint, he has to be quiet if he is not quiet. ”

Xiang Chonghua said angrily: "I want him to be quiet, not to let him sleep for a long time!" ”

Qin Fei sighed: "Why do you like to be nosy so much? He took out a vial from his baggage, poured out a red pill, and said, "I didn't bring a few of these cinnabar soothing pills, and if you go crazy one day, I will only have to serve with a big stick." Originally, this medicine was the most effective when taken with blood, so let's do it first. As he spoke, he brought the pill to the old man's mouth.

The old man opened his mouth and bit down hard at Qin Fei's fingers. Xiang Chonghua coaxed and grabbed before separating Qin Fei, who was screaming, from the old man with his mouth full of blood. The old man gasped and finally closed his eyes, not forgetting to swallow the pill.

Xiang Chonghua wiped his sweat and said: "If he makes trouble again, we can only pick up a stone and stun him." ”

Qin Fei covered his bloody index finger and scolded angrily: "You still say! I didn't sleep in the middle of the night and didn't tell ghost stories, and I was left alone. Leave me alone, and drag back such a monster old man. If he makes a fuss again, I'll even smash you together! ”

Xiang Chonghua touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Why don't you bite me to relieve your anger?" Brother Qin has a lot, so let's forgive him for the sake of his old age and infirmity. ”

Qin Fei jumped up all of a sudden, raised his bloody fingers and said, "He is old and frail? Is this tooth still old and frail? ”

Xiang Chonghua looked at his face carefully, frowned, and said, "It's strange to say." The old man's face seemed to be only forty or fifty years old, but not a single strand of black hair could be found. ”

Qin Fei stroked his fingers and said, "It's too reluctant to judge age by hair." The hair of our uncle in Dan Pharmacy is darker than yours, and besides, how can you embarrass those less white heads? ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "Could it be that he is also a young bald?" ”

Qin Fei glanced at him and said, "Although it's not seventy or eighty, this is not a young age, right?" ”

Xiang Chonghua curiously picked up a handful of his hair and said, "Then why is his hair so white?" Could it be kidney deficiency? ”

Qin Fei said angrily: "The teeth are so good and the kidneys are deficient? Wouldn't I be back to the light! Leaning on the hay, he stretched and said, "Instead of thinking about something that is not there, it is better to have a good rest and wait until he wakes up and ask him personally." If you're not afraid of him biting you. ”

Xiang Chonghua smiled, took out a cover and put it on the old man, and lay down next to him. The old man almost became the ordinary fortune-telling old man again, but tears poured out from under the closed eyes from time to time, and whose name was still being read in his mouth. Xiang Chonghua couldn't help but think of Xi Ya, and the sleepiness that had just come of it became lighter and lighter. The east was already slightly bright, he sighed, simply sat up, and was about to hunt some prey as a reserve, but before he reached the door, he immediately retreated, and easily woke up Qin Fei, who was in a good dream.

Qin Fei stared at Xiang Chonghua with sleepy eyes, and Xiang Chonghua said in a low voice: "Someone is coming"

Qin Fei suddenly came to his senses, suppressed his breathing and said in a low voice, "How far is it?" ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "There is probably a mile left." The terrain here is secluded, and it is not difficult for you and me to escape alone, but this old man's body has not recovered yet......"

A shrill laugh rang out suddenly, and when the second laugh sounded, it seemed as if it was only two feet away. The water in the pot propped up by the wall was shaken and splashed all over the ground. Qin Fei's heart was shocked, but he heard the laughter continue, and an even sharper scream sounded again, and a female voice scolded angrily: "Vespa, what are you doing? ”
