Chapter 31: Distress
What the hell?
Chen Xiaodonkey was startled, and was about to ask again, but was stopped by Fang Dasheng with his eyes, and Jia Xibei's voice came from behind him.
"Little donkey, what are you talking about?"
This is coming after me all the time, why didn't I hear the movement? Chen Xiaodonkey chuckled in his heart: "Heh, uncle, why are you walking silently?" ”
Jia Xibei smiled, and Chen Xiaodonkey introduced the two of them to each other, and deliberately emphasized that the one who did not let him go to the True Law Temple was Fang Dasheng in front of him.
Jia Xibei stood and said a few polite words to Fang Dasheng, and urged: "Let's go, we still have to hurry." ”
"Okay, okay."
Chen Xiaodonkey agreed with his mouth, looking at Fang Dasheng's appearance of nothing abnormal, he was a little skeptical that he had heard the wrong thing just now, but when he turned around and took two steps forward, he heard Fang Dasheng muttering very slightly.
"Watch out for those around you, and remember to hold what you have in your pocket when you go to bed at night."
What?
"Don't look back, get out of here."
Chen Xiaodonkey followed Jia Xibei and joined a few people, and touched the pocket of his clothes that suddenly became a little heavy without a trace, there seemed to be something more in it, but under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, he didn't have a chance to take it out and look at it.
For this Uncle Fang who met in Pingshui before, Chen Xiaodonkey has a little trust in his heart, after all, he was kind enough to help him last time, and Fang Dasheng is definitely not as simple as an ordinary villager. But because of this, Fang Dasheng's words just now also made him suddenly feel uneasy in his heart.
said that he was with an evil person, and there were five people around him, from this cheap uncle to Erniutou, did it mean that one of these five people was evil?
What did Uncle Fang stuff in his pocket?
"What are you thinking?" Jia Beibei walked next to him and asked Chen Xiaodonkey.
After coming over and hurrying again, Pei Luo and Erniutou, who was looking at the big bag, walked in front, Chen Xiaodonkey and Jia Xibei were in the middle, and Fang Gu and Dazhu were behind.
The incandescent moon, the shadows of the six people were stretched long.
"I'm wondering why Aunt Fang always walks on her toes, and it looks quite creepy at night." Chen Xiaodonkey said casually. But what he said was the truth, and he found out that Fang Gu couldn't touch the ground with her heels when she walked, but everyone was not familiar with her, so she didn't have anything to ask.
"Huh." Jia Xibei smiled and didn't answer, but said in a low voice: "Little donkey, that Fang Dasheng is weird, after you met that time, he didn't look for you again, right?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey replied: "No, why is it weird?" ”
Jia Xibei said solemnly: "I don't feel like a living person, but like a zongzi." ”
You can just talk about it, I haven't seen zongzi or what? Chen Xiaodonkey slandered, but he didn't know what medicine was sold in Jia Xibei's gourd, so he pretended to be worried: "Uncle, don't scare me, can Zongzi still talk outside?" ”
"That's what I can't figure out, it's that I can't feel any vitality from him." Jia Xibei frowned, and said again: "Your father said that your Chen family recruited these, in short, you should be more careful." ”
I mentioned it again. Chen Xiaodonkey said in disbelief: "Our family really can't live to be thirty-five years old? ”
"That's what your father said, before the age of thirty, it is good to have a peace order to press everything, and after the age of thirty, it will become more and more sad day by day." Jia Xibei's tone became a little guilty, "Actually, your parents' affairs also depend on me, when your father accidentally leaked his mouth, I drank too much one day, and shouted at your uncle about this matter at home, and then the family didn't agree to their marriage." ”
Is there such a reason? Chen Xiaodonkey nodded and stopped talking.
Out of Puwan Town and further north is a large area of wilderness, although walking along the old river road, Chen Xiaodonkey noticed that Jia Xibei walked to the front and led the road, deliberately bypassing the section of Zhenfa Temple.
In the second half of the night, a series of small mountains stretched northward, and they entered the mountains, stopping to rest in a small clearing surrounded by dense forests.
"Just rest here for the night, recuperate your spirits, and worship the mountain at dawn." Jia Xibei looked around and said.
Worshipping the mountain is a jargon that means looking for a grave in the mountains.
Everyone had no objection to this, Pei Luo immediately gathered the surrounding branches and lit a fire, Dazhu and Erniutou put down the bags they were carrying, and took out the string bell to arrange a guard around.
"I'm going to look around."
Fang Gu dropped the sentence and disappeared into the dark forest, and soon there were some floating around, and Chen Xiaodonkey smelled a particularly pungent realgar smell.
All of them are veterans! The two bull heads and big pillars are arranged around the fine line and hung bells, which is to prevent any big guys from approaching in the mountain, and Fanggu sprinkles realgar powder to keep poisonous snakes and poisonous insects and other things away.
Seeing that several people were busy, Chen Xiaodonkey was worried about what Fang Dasheng had stuffed into his pocket, put aside the small bag he was carrying, sat and chatted with Jia Xibei for a few words, then covered his stomach and said, "Uncle, you can rest first, I'll go and relieve myself." ”
"I'll go with you." Pei Luo quickly got up and followed.
Chen Xiaodonkey secretly said troublesome, turned his head and said: "I want to be big, I'm not used to being with others, can you find a new place?" ”
Pei Luo shook his head and said: "I'm just peeing, and besides, it's not safe in the mountains, I have to let the young master of my cousin let you go, otherwise what if something comes out of the forest?" ”
The two entered the forest, Pei Luo quickly sprinkled it behind a thick tree, and when he saw Chen Xiaodonkey standing still, he said strangely: "Young Master Cousin, what are you doing standing?" Whole! You're welcome? ”
You're kind to your uncle!
I don't know if this is a coincidence, or if Pei Luo got the instruction of his uncle, Chen Xiaodonkey's face was cloudy, and he said, "Can you go back first?" ”
"Okay, okay, then if you have something to say, young master, I'll come over right away." Pei Luo heard the unhappiness in Chen Xiaodonkey's tone, and muttered 'kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs', put on his pants and walked out.
Looking at the figure on the other side of the fire from the crack in the tree, Chen Xiaodonkey squatted on the ground and waited for a while, and took out the things. But what he didn't expect was that what Fang Dasheng gave was a lump of dirt.
What does this mean?
With the faint light of the moon penetrating into the mountains and forests, Chen Xiaodonkey carefully looked at the clods of soil and fell into deep thought.
"What do you have in your hand?"
Like a ghost, Fang Gu quietly walked out from behind a tree next to her, Chen Xiaodonkey's hand shook slightly, and the clod of soil fell to the ground with a 'snap', looking at her and saying angrily: "You want to peep if you take a hand?" Is it me with flowers growing on me? ”
He didn't lift his pants and was still squatting on the ground.
Fang Gu didn't speak, nor was she embarrassed in the slightest, she walked in front of her step by step and reached out to pick up the clods.
Chen Xiaodonkey's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Don't! ”
Fang Gu looked up at him, and he was in a hurry: "What, I solved it with a clod of soil without bringing paper, it tastes." ”
Fang Gu's hand that was about to touch the clod of soil paused slightly, but sure enough, she didn't pick it up again, frowned and turned to leave.
Chen Xiaodonkey breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know why Fang Dasheng wanted to give him such a thing, but he instinctively felt that this thing should not be touched by others.
Picking up the clod of soil and putting it back into his pocket, and pretending to wipe it under him a few times, Chen Xiaodonkey walked back.
"Young Master, let's eat something." Erniutou handed over a box of open cans, and Chen Xiaodonkey pulled out a dagger, picked up the dead branches of the tree and sharpened a pair of chopsticks. As for the title of Young Master Cousin, he was called by the three people except Aunt Fang for a day, and it was not pleasing to the ear.
After eating hastily, Jia Xibei took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "Let's sleep, you can rest for a few hours." After saying that, he lay down directly by the fire.
Several people found a comfortable place to sleep. After walking for half a night, he also entered the mountain by the way, Chen Xiaodonkey was also tired enough, and after everyone fell asleep, according to Fang Dasheng's instructions, he quietly held the clod of soil in the palm of his hand before falling asleep.
The fire burned out, and the last bit of spark flickered a few times before it was extinguished.
I don't know when, Chen Xiaodonkey suddenly felt a sudden burning sensation in his palm, like holding a piece of burning charcoal, which stabbed him awake from his sleep.
I'm grass, what is that Uncle Fang giving to himself? Chen Xiaodonkey, who was lying on his side, stared in a daze and wanted to open his hand to take a look, his eyes swept away, but he was so shocked that a cold air appeared on his back spine, and he suddenly fell asleep.
Behind him, a figure illuminated by the moon walked back and forth, a knife in his hand.
