Chapter 2: Twenty-Three Heads
"One, two, three...... Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three! ”
"Twenty-three heads!"
"Master! There are twenty-three heads here! ”
Miao Miaomiao's shock was already written on her face, and the golden cat's eyes looked at this pile of heads in disbelief, and the hairs all over her body exploded.
"Dead ...... So many dead ......," the black cat shuddered.
The man sighed and picked her up to gently soothe her, but his eyes were fixed on the pile of white bones and fell into deep thought.
"Master...... Are we going to report to the police? ”
"Meow?! Meow meow? ”
Before the man could reply, a sallow and thin face peeked out from the mouth of the well.
In the blue-black sunken eye sockets, a pair of piercing eyes looked straight at them.
"Huh? Anyone else? His dry, peeling lips opened wide and he shouted into the well, "Hey! You okay? ”
"Not dead." Si Yubai rubbed his ears that were numb, and replied impatiently.
The young man above laughed: "It's good that you're not dead!" You wait, I'll find something to pull you up! ”
"Master! Someone came to our rescue! Miao Miaomiao excitedly slapped his chest with her front paws.
"Thank you." The man just replied coldly, and then climbed up to the mouth of the well with his feet on the moss-covered wall.
"Big ...... The hero is very skilled......" The young man dragged the vine and stood in place blankly, "It seems that I am redundant......"
"Master...... You can fly up, why stay in there for so long? "And he is still staying with a pile of dead people's bones, Si Yubai's taste is really heavy.
"Shut up." The man shoved her head into her clothes.
The young man's strange eyes blinked at the black cat: "This cat is crying weakly, it can't be hungry, right?" ”
"Hmm......" Miao Miaomiao's eyes glared at Si Yubai aggrievedly, look at you! The first time people saw her, they could tell that she was hungry!
This week, she also made her dig her bones under the bottom for a long time!
also used the excuse that cats pick up soil faster than people!
The man glanced at the deep well, and arched his hand at the young man: "What do you call Xiaoyou?" ”
"Title...... the young man rolled his eyes, and then frowned, "I don't have a name, you can call me a little beggar!" ”
"Little beggar?"
"Yes, yes, everybody calls me that!" The teenager didn't seem to mind the meaning of the name at all.
"Little beggar, are you from here? Why do you come to this wilderness at such a late hour? ”
The boy laughed, grabbing his furry hair with his dirty hands: "How do I know where I am!" I'm in a hurry to go to Tiger Roaring Heights to eat white food! Hahaha! ”
"Something to eat?!" Miao Miaomiao's fluffy little head squeezed out again, "Master, Master! I hear you! Tiger Roaring Heights! ”
……
Tiger Roaring Heights is a famous "Great Shan Village" here.
On the fifth day of the first month of every month, the villa will hold a banquet, that is, the little beggar eats white food.
At that time, a ten-mile long banquet will be set up to entertain friends from all over the world.
"That scene, don't mention how magnificent!" The young man danced and described, "People like us are counting to this day to eat their stomachs!" ”
"How far are we from Tiger Roaring Heights?" Si Yubai wiped the chin of the black cat that was already full of saliva with his sleeve.
"Soon, soon, hero, you follow me, you will be there in an hour! This road is a shortcut road, but no one dares to walk it at night. ”
"Why doesn't anyone dare to take a shortcut?"
"I've only heard...... I heard that there were often robberies here ten years ago, and those robbers were vicious, not to mention the money, and they also dismantled the bones and ate the flesh without leaving the whole corpse! ”
The little beggar's deep-sunken eyes stared at him with fear as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"And such a thing? Does the government care? It's only fifty miles away from Chang'an City, and it's so rampant at the feet of the Son of Heaven? ”
"How do I know that!" The little beggar smoked a grass plant casually, put the straw pole in his mouth and chewed it, "Then the group of bandits disappeared, and I never heard of any robbery again......"
"In that case, there should be more people on this road."
"The truth is this, but somehow it comes out that this place is haunted, and people who walk at night often encounter ghost fires and people...... It's just that I haven't seen it once. ”
Robbers cannibalism?
"Master...... Could it be that the people at the bottom of the well were thrown into it by robbers? Could it be that we just dug up a small part?! What's down there?! ”
The man said in a very low voice: "This matter will be handled by the teacher." ”
……
After the young man named Little Beggar took Si Yubai to Tiger Roaring Heights, he went to meet his beggar brothers.
Si Yubai stood by the outer wall of the villa with a black cat, and there was a wanted notice like psoriasis on their side!
"Master...... The Emperor's hands are faster than our legs...... Before we arrived, the wanted warrant had already been posted. ”
Miao Miaomiao hung her ears in frustration: "The apprentice is destined to be a starving cat......"
"Who said that? How could a teacher let a good disciple starve to death?! ”
The man said, hugged the black cat and turned directly into the wall.
"Master! You're not stealing for nothing, are you?! ”
The man didn't answer, but watched from the roof for a while, then ran straight to a room.
Skillfully picking the door lock, Miao Miaomiao saw that it was full of books.
"What are we going to do in the study? Shouldn't you go to the kitchen? ”
Books can be eaten, but they are not as delicious as meat!
"Stupid! The business of the reader is not a steal~"
"......" Miao Miaomiao looked at Si Yubai with an expression of looking at a fool.
I saw the man spread out the rice paper, picked up the pen, and began to draw on the paper.
After a while, a vivid picture of Roselle was displayed on the paper.
Miao Miaomiao couldn't help but boast: "Master...... You're awesome! ”
I didn't expect that Si Yubai, this guy was not good at pinching pottery, and he was still very good at painting.
"That's it!" The man put down the pen triumphantly, picked up the drawing paper and blew it, "Your master and I have relied on this to eat before!" ”
"Hmm...... You're not going to do just that, are you? ”
"Who said that?!" The man was unconvinced and took out another piece of blank paper, "As a teacher, I will also draw a three-clear map!" ”
……
Unexpectedly, Si Yubai painted the Luo Shen diagram in order to give Miao Miaomiao a human body.
Because the characteristics on the wanted warrant read: a man in white, about twenty-five years old, with a black cat.
As long as the black cat is turned into a girl, and the twenty-five-year-old man becomes a bad old man, can't he get away with it?
The man stroked his beard and squinted at Miao Miaomiao: "Hmm~Very good~"
The girl ran to the puddle and squatted down, admiring her appearance.
Well......
Willow eyebrows, amorous eyes, and long black hair hanging down on the waist.
Tearing the painting girl, it should be her!
"Master~ You already have this ability, why didn't you give it to the apprentice last time? The human form pinched by the pottery man is really ugly! ”
"Stupid stupid!" The man took her arm and dragged her into his arms, "You are now a paper painter, paper is most afraid of fire and water, you still want to be so close to them!" ”
"That'...... So what to do? Miao Miaomiao was so frightened by him that she suddenly cried, "Then I can't even drink the soup when I eat later?!" ”
Then she might as well become a cat!
