We were all surprised to see that the calf did not change in the mist, which did not seem to match what Erhu described.

"That's not right, I saw the fog in the morning and wiped people out, absolutely yes!" Erhu scratched his head and muttered, very puzzled.

I looked at the mist and told them that it was probably because the calf wasn't a living thing, so the mist didn't move. The Taoist priest waved his hand, "No, that leaf cow has the breath of the Taoist on it, if Lao Tzu enters it in person, if the mist only attacks living creatures, it is absolutely impossible to let it go, the Taoist and it perceive and share, this mist gives me the feeling that I ...... It's just a normal mist! ”

The words of the Taoist priest made us a little confused, but he had no reason to lie to us, could it be that the fog encountered by the second tiger had already dispersed? This is the ordinary fog that was newly raised later?

I looked at the Taoist priest and found that his face was also cloudy, and it was obvious that he was not sure what the situation was. We were in a stalemate with the fog, anxiously waiting, and I don't know how long it took, the Taoist priest suddenly exclaimed: "Dog, the calf and the Taoist have lost contact!" ”

"What?" I turned my head to look at him, noticed that his face had changed, and hurriedly asked, "How is it, did you run into something in the fog?" ”

The Taoist priest shook his head, suddenly stood up from the ground, and said to us: "Dao Ye go in and take a look, you stay outside to take care of the two tigers, if it is safe inside, Dao Ye will put another identical cow to report to you." ”

Saying that, the Taoist priest picked up his bag and prepared to act, I naturally refused, grabbed him, and shook his head desperately: "No, if you don't go back, I can't go crazy, besides, I can't carry the second tiger out alone, I think I'll go with you!" ”

"What about the two tigers?" The Taoist priest asked.

Erhu's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I also want to go in, I still have to go to Alan and Uncle Yang!" ”

I looked at Erhu with a headache, and the Taoist priest looked at me with a headache, and I was a little helpless for a while. I kept persuading the second tiger, but he didn't listen to it at all, and when it came, the three of them and one dog still went on the road together.

The Taoist priest still carried the two tigers on his back, and the third hall was behind. Seeing the moment the Taoist priest came into contact with the mist, I was very worried in my heart, for fear that he would disappear accidentally, so I deliberately grabbed Erhu's clothes.

The danger did not appear, and the Taoist priest walked into the fog in a dignified manner, so I breathed a sigh of relief and followed in. The moist air tightly wrapped my smooth upper body, a little cold, but there was no discomfort, it felt no different from ordinary fog, I already firmly believed in my heart that the fog encountered by the second tiger had dissipated, and now what we encountered was just an ordinary fog in late autumn.

We walked through the foggy ridges, where the rice had just been harvested, leaving behind a field of yellow stubble and a slightly fishy fragrance. The water was still accumulating, and if it was normal, we would have been startled by a lot of bugs when we stepped on the weedy ridges, but at the moment there was nothing. There was no movement in the vast field except for the sound of us trampling on the weeds, and there was a dead silence.

It seems that all the gasping life in this area is gone, and all that is left is us idiots who rushed in without knowing anything. This feeling of dead silence is very bad, if it weren't for the sound of the third child sticking out his tongue and the heavy breathing of the second tiger all the time, I might really go crazy.

Walking and walking, the third child suddenly jumped into the paddy field. I was startled, and hurriedly lowered my voice to call for it, but to no avail, and in a hurry I followed into the field, forgetting that there were many wounds on my feet.

The water and mud instantly reached my knees, the water was cold, irritating my wounds, and a piercing pain made me can't help but take a breath of cold air, almost screaming, and my feet froze in the mud without obeying, and I didn't dare to move anymore.

The Taoist priest hurriedly pulled me out, went to look at the third child again, and found that the third child stopped not far away, and seemed to have found something. I looked closely, only to see that there seemed to be a person lying next to it.

The fog was very thick, and the field of vision was very restricted, so we couldn't see clearly, but the place was only five or six meters away from us, and the Taoist priest asked me to take care of Erhu, and he walked over through the muddy water himself.

I watched as the figure of the Taoist priest slowly faded in the mist, until after becoming a vague black shadow, he had reached the third child's side. After a pause, his slightly deep voice came: "It's a woman." ”

Hearing this, I was shocked, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and at this moment, the second tiger lying on the ridge next to me suddenly shouted emotionally: "Dao Chief, she, she's okay, right?" ”

Looking at Erhu's expression, I knew that he wanted to go with me.

Erhu waited anxiously and expectantly for the Taoist priest's answer, and his eyes were about to pop out when he looked like that.

"Alive, but not in good shape." The first half of the answer made Erhu and I breathe a long sigh of relief, and a stone in our hearts fell, but the second half of the sentence lifted the stone we had just put down.

I really want to slap the Taoist priest in the mouth, this dog day is really capable of tossing people. Soon, he was carried back and placed on the ridge, and when I saw the pale and bloodless face, my suspicion was confirmed.

Erhu couldn't help crying the moment he saw the girl's clothes, and he wanted to stand up like crazy, and the wounds were all broken, and a lot of blood leached out of the bandaged strips of cloth. I hurriedly stopped him and held down the wound, and the Taoist priest also hurriedly stepped forward and clicked on a few acupuncture points near his wound, and the blood stopped flowing.

"Damn, you don't want to die, she's fine, it's just that she has been soaked in ice water for a long time, her body temperature is too low, and she can't die." After the Taoist priest dealt with Erhu's wounds, he said angrily, but these words calmed down Erhu.

From the reaction between Erhu and me, the Taoist priest had already guessed that the girl in front of him was Alan, he looked at me with an inquiring gaze, I nodded, he sighed, and said: "According to the current situation, only the Taoist can go in alone!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu won't be able to carry two people in one go! ”

I understood what he meant, Alain looked like he wouldn't wake up for a while, and we wouldn't be able to take her with us into the village.

Erhu said at this time: "Ah Yi, you go in with the Dao Chief, just send me and Alan out." ”

I looked at the Taoist priest and there was no objection, this is indeed the best solution. It took us another ten minutes to carry Erhu and Alan back to the edge of the forest, collect some firewood, and build a fire in front of a boulder to keep them warm. After everything was settled, I asked the third child to stay here to protect the two of them, and I went into the fog with the Taoist priest.

Because we all knew what was going on in the fog, we didn't walk as carefully as before, and soon crossed the fields and came to the river. On the other side of the river is a dense thorn forest that cannot pass through people, and behind the thorn forest is the forest outside the village, under normal circumstances, the villagers need to take a detour from the east end of the village to cultivate the fields, which takes about half an hour, but I know a short way through the thorn forest, that is, the remote path that Erhu touched into the village in the morning.

I climbed down the ditch with the Taoist priest, waded to the other side, and found the path hidden by a few thorny vines. Neither of us had any clothes to wear, so we naturally had to suffer a lot of flesh and skin when walking such a path, but in order to save time, we all gritted our teeth and endured it.

In less than five minutes, we left the thorn forest, but before we could see it, the Taoist priest who walked in front of me knocked a stick, which made him scream in pain, and his body fell out of the thorn bush, and I was dragged out of the thorn bush by the lift, and I was tied into a dumpling in three or two strokes.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, I'll grass your uncle, don't engage in sneak attacks, fight with real knives and guns, and tear you apart if I don't live."

In the thick fog, the Taoist priest pressed several people to the ground, wiped their faces on the ground, tied their hands behind their backs, and stepped on their faces with a big foot.

It all happened so fast that I was tied up before I could react. My heart was half cold, the damn was too unlucky, I finally escaped from Yeling, and immediately caught this gang of gangsters. Well? Wait, no, these people...... It looks like a villager!

There were more than a dozen people who attacked us, all dressed plainly, and I didn't see their faces clearly in the panic just now, but now that I was tied up, and they were all facing me, I immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Han dog day pinch, you bastards also have today, go, take these two miscellaneous pieces back to Ke, and take Qi (transliteration, the meaning of everyone) to kill him." A young man about my age angrily scolded in the local dialect, his tone full of hatred.

When I heard it, I felt even more wrong, and hurriedly shouted in the local dialect: "Wait a minute, don't misunderstand, I am from this village, you take a good look, I am the grandson of Granny Miao!" ”

My voice stunned the group of angry villagers, and one of them, a middle-aged man I looked quite familiar with but couldn't remember who it was, came up to me and looked at it carefully, and suddenly sighed: "Oh, it's really pinched, oops, it's wrong, hurry up, hurry up, change (untie) the rope." ”

The group of people around us all looked at each other, but the middle-aged man's words obviously carried a lot of weight, and although they were skeptical, they did it anyway. The Taoist priest was also let go, he was beaten the worst just now, and stood up scolding at this moment, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was so powerful, and they were all my fellow villagers, he would have raised his fist and greeted him.

Originally, not long ago, I had just organized the young adults in my village to help find my grandmother, and it was impossible for them to forget me, but it happened that these people in front of me were not on the right road with the Zhang family in the village, so there was little contact, and they didn't go to the search and rescue activities of the two tigers Zhang Luo before, and I haven't lived in the village for almost ten years, and it's normal for these people to not know me. The middle-aged man who recognized me used to have dealings with my uncle, so he also went to my grandmother's house from time to time, and he also saw me a few times in the past few years, which recognized me.

The middle-aged man apologized to me with an embarrassed face, but I didn't care, and asked him about the situation in the village.

From the mouth of the middle-aged man, I learned that the situation in the village had changed again, and now the situation was under control.

However, he has never been the Zhang family, and although he was rescued, he has limited knowledge. He told me that two days ago, most of the men in the village had been recruited into the mountains, and that the village had been taken over by a group of terrorists shortly after they had left. The men drove all the villagers back to their homes and locked their houses from the outside, not allowing them to go out. In the middle of the night, there were suddenly a lot of bugs in the house, which bit everyone, and then they were poisoned and passed out.

At noon today, they were drugged and woke up, and when they asked, they realized that they were saved by the eldest and third of Granny Miao's family. Most of the gangsters who controlled the village were cleaned up, but some of them escaped into the nearby mountains and forests, and now the villagers are mobilized to look for the gangsters' accomplices. And the Taoist priest and I happened to sneakily come out of the thorn forest at this point in time, and ran into them, so we were treated as villains.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Taoist priest was still scolding, I suddenly remembered that the two tigers were still on the edge of the mountain forest, if they met those fleeing murderers, there would definitely be danger, so I hurriedly told the middle-aged people about the situation and asked them to save the two tigers.

These people don't know me, but they are very familiar with Erhu, especially the young people in this group, who are basically very familiar with Erhu, and as soon as they heard that he was seriously injured and waiting for rescue outside, they immediately volunteered to take on the rescue work.

I told them the approximate location of the two tigers, told them to walk over the path, and then rushed to the village with the middle-aged man.

Just like the middle-aged man said, we met more than a dozen waves of people on the way back, all of them in groups of five or six, searching for gangsters around the village, and it seemed that the situation had improved.

Soon, we were back in the village, and the fog was already beginning to show signs of dissipating. After the middle-aged man sent me here, he couldn't let go of the group of young dolls, saying that he had to rush back, so he parted ways with us.

The Taoist priest and I rushed back to my grandmother's house, and found that there was no one, and the uncle and third uncle were not at home, so we rushed to the ancestral hall in a hurry. As soon as I came to the vicinity of the ancestral hall, I smelled a pungent smell of blood, and my heart sank. After walking in, my pupils couldn't help shrinking, and I saw that the door, wall, and bluestone floor in front of the ancestral hall were covered with scarlet blood, and there were a lot of black and green mucus, sandwiched between the bloodstains, very disgusting.

On both sides of the road in front of the ancestral hall, there are small mountains of insect corpses, which look strange and strange, all of which I have never seen before. Obviously, the road was cleared by someone from behind, and there must have been bug corpses all over the place, but what was the matter with so many blood stains? Is it the villagers, or is it the gang? Suddenly, I began to worry about my grandmother's safety.

At the moment, there are a lot of people at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and they seem to be listening to people's speeches, and I saw the third uncle who was doing command and dispatch in front of the crowd at a glance, and I was excited, and I couldn't help shouting out: "Third uncle!" ”
