Chapter 19: The Echo of the Mysterious Worm (5)

"Wake up, guest!"

With an anxious call from the other party, Yang Si opened his eyes with a "sigh", and the first thing that caught his eye was a middle-aged man who was a little blessed, but he could still see that he had been weathered in his early years so that the wrinkles on his forehead were deeply soaked in vicissitudes.

As soon as this middle-aged man saw Yang Si wake up, his face was immediately full of joy: "That guest, you are awake!" You are also too careless in the next life, how can you sleep alone in the wilderness? ”

"Me? Sleeping here? ”

Yang Si struggled to turn his head from side to side, and glanced around, only to find that he was lying on his back under the big poplar tree that he climbed up yesterday with his back facing the sky.

Even the horse he rode during the day was now tied to the trunk of the tree with the reins, and above his face was the branch of the tree that had been lying down last night!

"It turned out to be a fall from a tree...... That's right, my horse! ”

Yang Si, who was sore all over, vaguely remembered that after he fell from the tree last night, he was held up by something.

Could it be that the horse tethered to the tree happened to be directly below him at that moment, so when he fell off the tree, he used his horse's back to support him a little from the middle?

Otherwise, if you really fall straight down from a height of one zhang, you will probably fall out of the way.

As soon as he thought of the word 'good', Yang Si's heart suddenly sank, and he said that I fell from such a high place to the horse's back last night, and this time I won't smash the horse out of anything, right?

Thinking of this, Yang Si once again turned his head with great difficulty to find the horse tied to the trunk, and carefully checked the injuries on the horse's body with his eyes up and down.

After a little scrutiny, Yang Si was pleasantly surprised to find that the condition of this horse looked quite good.

At this moment, it was shaking its head and walking leisurely around the big poplar tree, and from time to time it lowered its head to nibble on the grass on the ground, as if it was not hurt at all.

Just when Yang Si was surprised that his horse actually looked unscathed, the middle-aged man who had woken up Yang Si earlier held a wrapping baggage in both hands and handed it to Yang Si in front of him.

When the old man arrived, this burden was already like this. Could it be that you fought with the strongman who cut the path last night? In the future, you can quickly check it and see if there is any shortage? ”

As soon as he saw the tattered furoshiki, Yang Si suddenly realized.

It turned out that last night, when Yang Si reached into his arms and drew the knife, he carelessly tucked the corner of the furoshiki that trapped him tightly with the branches under him into his arms.

At that time, although Yang Si used his fingers to gently untie the buckle on the scabbard that held the blade, the half buckle on the knife body inadvertently hung the corner of the furoshiki that was tucked into Yang Si's arms!

Later, Yang Si repeatedly tried hard and failed to pull out the clothes pressing knife from his arms, and the reason was not that someone pressed the knife, but that the knife was hanging on the furoshiki.

Previously, in order to prevent himself from turning over and falling into a tree while he was asleep, Yang Si specially tied a slipknot around his chest and the branches under him with a furoshi.

Coincidentally, the edge of the buckle that can untie the live buckle is the corner of the furoshi that Yang Si inadvertently tucked into his arms!

With the idea of fighting to the death, Yang Si used all his strength to pull out the clothes presser in his arms, not only tearing his own clothes, but also loosening the slipknot made of the baggage skin.

After that, Yang Si turned over from the side of the branch because he used too much force.

In fact, it was not the horse under the tree that supported Yang Si in mid-air, but the wrapperskin that was loosened by him!

Naturally, no one pushed him Yang Si from the side, and it was the huge falling force that had already loosened most of the furoshiki and couldn't bear Yang Si's falling from the tree, and it was suddenly disconnected.

It was with this furoshiki in the center that Yang Si did not fall straight to the ground from a tree branch that was more than a zhang high.

Hearing that the middle-aged man asked him to inspect his belongings, Yang Si smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your concern." But there is no need to count the belongings, the villain didn't meet any robbers last night, just a fight with a skull...... Ah! ”

Speaking of the skeleton monster, Yang Si realized that he found out that it seemed that the skeleton monster who surrounded him last night kept spitting cold air, and even learned from him Yang Si at every turn...... It's gone.

Seeing this, Yang Si couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: "Just now, I have been talking to Engong for a long time, and I haven't seen that sullen skeleton monster open his mouth, could it be that this monster is afraid of seeing the light of day, and he will escape as soon as it dawns?" ”

Thinking of this, Yang Si raised his head again and looked into the distance, but he still didn't find any trace of the skeleton monster last night, so he fell his head like a burden: "It can be regarded as getting rid of it." ”

"Then, then, what possessions did you get rid of last night? What is the origin of this skull? But the name of the strongman in the neighborhood? ”

"Hey, it's really hard to say, Engong, you don't know."

only heard Yang Si let out a long sigh, and then took revenge on the skeleton ghost who was hiding in this pottery urn yesterday because he accidentally urinated in the pottery urn next to the road, and how he followed along the way.

Even if he was forced to hide on the branch, the skeleton ghost still caught up with the tree and spewed out bursts of cold air with his mouth to harm him Yang Si.

"Don't hide it, the villain was sprayed by the skeleton ghost with cold air last night, and the left half of his body stiffened, and he couldn't even lift his hand...... Ah!! ”

It turned out that Yang Si told the middle-aged merchant who saved him under the poplar tree that he was injured by the cold of the skeleton ghost last night, and half of his body was stiff.

Speaking of this, Yang Si subconsciously raised his left hand, but only after this lift did he realize that although a night had passed, his stiff left hand still showed no signs of improvement, and he still couldn't raise it as he wished.

However, the worse is still to come, Yang Si is not only unable to move his left hand now, but the entire left half of his body, from hand to foot, is no longer able to move!

In other words, Yang Si is now paralyzed!

Thinking that he would be a waste person from now on, Yang Si couldn't help but let out a loud cry of sorrow.

Seeing that Yang Si was so sad, the middle-aged merchant who woke up Yang Si also sighed: "Don't be too sad in the future, maybe your hemiplegic disease can still be saved."

Don't hide it from the future generations, you said, old man, I am a local, and I am the county seat of Yixian County for eighty miles, and there is a doctor in the city who is good at treating bruises, maybe he can ......"

However, before the middle-aged merchant finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Si, who had been crying with tears in his eyes: "Engong is above, and the villain is asking for something." ”

Then Yang Si explained in detail that he was entrusted by Yang's father to send emergency entanglement to Yang Congxun, who was studying in Guanliu Academy in Yixian County.

At the end, Yang Si opened his mouth again and pleaded: "Engong has mercy, the villain is now crippled and difficult to walk, but the villain's lord is still in the villain's baggage. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Si tightly grabbed the sleeve of the middle-aged merchant with his only right hand that could still move.

"The villain is willing to use the horse tied to the tree as a reward, and I only ask the benefactor to send this burden to the Yicheng Guanliu Academy for the villain and transfer it to my young master Yang. Yang Si is also a great virtue when he dies, and he will definitely be rewarded in the next life! ”
