Chapter 21: Night Talk
When the old couple who set up the tea stall came home, the 'father and son' who had stayed overnight had already left, and there were two processed rabbit skins on the table.
Liu Ping'an and Xiao Zhiqi were waiting at the edge of the village, and after a while, Xiaoman and her mother came out.
It can be seen that Xiaoman's mother has just cried.
"Xiaoman." Liu Ping'an stood under the tree and called him.
"Brother." Xiao Man was very surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
"Let's go a little bit ahead." Liu Ping'an asked Xiaoman's mother, "Do you have a place to go?" ”
Xiaoman's mother shook her head, "My mother's family is long gone." ”
"There's always a way." Liu Ping'an said, "If there is nowhere to go, it is better to go to Peng Chau with us." When we get there, I'll find you a place to live. ”
Xiao Manniang knelt down again, "Thank you so much." She knelt, and Xiaoman also knelt.
"Hurry up." Liu Ping'an said, "Let's leave as soon as possible, maybe someone will come out of this place." ”
From here to Peng Chau, it will take at least six days to walk, which is the time given by Xiao Zhiqi looking at the map.
Liu Ping'an originally planned to go to the border in half a month, but it turned out that she would waste six days just to go to Pingzhou.
"Go slower." Xiao Zhiqi reminded loudly, "Find a shady place to rest for a while." ”
At this time, Liu Ping'an noticed that Xiaoman and his mother could no longer keep up with her pace, and in the afternoon, she remembered this and slowed down a little.
I took advantage of the break in the middle and nibbled on some steamed buns, which was considered lunch.
Keep walking at a brisk pace, until the evening, there is no shop in front of the village, and the four of them can only sleep in the open.
Xiao Man has never had the experience of sleeping in the open when he is so old, and he is a little afraid in his heart, "Mother, there will be no wolves outside." ”
"What are you afraid of?" Liu Ping'an patted Xiaoman's shoulder, "Even if the wolf comes, we will eat it." ”
"Brother." Xiaoman looked at Liu Ping'an with admiration, "Then did you say that the wolf would come tonight?" ”
"Ahem!" I can't take it, "It's a good thing whether you come or not." ”
The steamed buns were eaten at noon, and there was nothing to eat at night, and several people could only drink water and drink to their heart's content.
When squatting by the stream to drink water, thinking of the suspension bridge, Liu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, if he had money, at least he wouldn't be hungry.
When she filled her stomach with water and went back, Xiao Man had already fallen asleep by his mother, and while sleeping, she was talking about eating wolf meat in her sleep.
Xiaoman's mother didn't sleep, although she was very tired, she couldn't sleep.
Xiao Zhiqi was on a nearby tree, so it was convenient to observe the movements around him, Liu Ping'an found a flat place to lie down, put the wrapping cloth under his head and fell asleep.
I slept very restlessly, and I always felt that something was holding my feet down.
I woke up from my sleep uncomfortably, and when I opened my eyes, I almost scared my soul away.
Youjun actually sat at her feet, and he still looked green. Liu Ping'an lifted the foot that was not suppressed, and kicked it over, thinking that the foot would pass through Youjun, but he didn't expect Youjun to be kicked out by her.
Youjun got out all the way 'ah~'.
When Youjun floated back, Liu Ping'an asked him very angrily: "Why are you sitting on my lap!" ”
"The ground is dirty!" Youjun's momentum was even worse than Liu Ping'an's, and he solemnly said a ridiculous reason.
"Then you can't sit on my lap, I don't think you sat for a while, you sat all night." Liu Ping'an was also really angry, "Thanks to the fact that you are not human, you don't have much weight, otherwise I would have woken up and this leg would be gone." ”
Seeing that Liu Ping'an didn't lose his anger so quickly, Youjun pointed into the distance, "What do you think is that?" ”
"Do you think I'm a fool? Yes! Liu Ping'an thought that Youjun was playing with her, but when she turned her head, she found that something was wrong, and there was really something.
Where Youjun pointed, there was a white light, and if you didn't look carefully, you thought it was fog, and Liu Ping'an felt very scared when he saw it clearly.
"Damn, what's that! Isn't it...... Isn't that the one! Liu Ping'an couldn't say that word in fear.
"Oh, after all, it's just a mass of energy body, it's not good for you not to make a fuss." Youjun persuaded, "That thing is unconscious, but that thing is there, which means that there is something buried underneath, and it is still fresh." ”
"I'll you, you might as well not say it." Liu Ping'an was so frightened that he went to find Xiao Zhiqi, "Uncle, come down, let's spend the night in another place." ”
Xiao Zhiqi, as a vigilant person, didn't sleep, and he heard everything Liu Ping'an said. "You have to go, you have to go by yourself."
"Huh?" Liu Ping'an was impotent and furious under the tree, "Am I still the one you managed to rescue?" ”
"I regret it a long time ago." Xiao Zhiqi said, "It's too dark now, and we haven't walked the road ahead, so it's not suitable for rushing." ”
"Hey, old sister Ping'an, don't be like this." Youjun floated over, "I told you that there is no danger over there, don't toss it at night." ”
No one else was willing to move, and Liu Ping'an didn't dare to go alone.
could only stay where he was, but after knowing about this incident, Liu Ping'an couldn't sleep at all.
Listening to the sound of insects, Liu Ping'an felt insecure.
So she began to be speechless, "Uncle, how did you meet my mother?" ”
Obviously, Xiao Zhiqi didn't want to talk about this topic and ignored her at all.
In addition to Xiao Zhiqi, there are also Xiaoman and his mother, but after all, she is not familiar with Xiaoman's family, so it is not good to wake people up in the middle of the night.
can only talk nonsense with Youjun, "Youjun, what did you do before?" ”
"Didn't I tell you? Responsible for the deceased. Referring to the previous things, Youjun began to become talkative, "Is it okay that we are very busy with work, if it weren't for ...... Ahem, if it weren't for my skills being taken by the Immortal King, he wouldn't have sent me on a mission at all, and the place wouldn't have been able to leave me at all. ”
"You can pull it down." Liu Ping'an could see at a glance that he was bragging, "With your ability, I can't leave you, I feel too good about myself." Liu Ping'an remembered the joke he watched a long time ago, "Oh, maybe after you go back this time, your boss will find out that it's the same with you and without you, and then you'll be finished." ”
Youjun didn't care at all, "! You don't even know that I have a skill that no one else can learn. ”
"What? Making a fart sound with your armpits? ”
"You're insulting me!" Youjun said, "I was born with the ability to write life for others. ”
Liu Ping'an looked at Youjun and blinked, "What are you talking about?" Didn't understand. ”
"How can the nine-year compulsory education teach you to be a 'talent'? I couldn't even understand a word. Youjun really thought that Liu Ping'an didn't understand, and explained it again, "That is to say, after this person is born, what kind of things will go through are all written by me." ”
