Yan Shan: Three

The blind bachelor in the town in addition to collecting a few copper plates from the shopkeeper from time to time to tell stories at the bridge, but also with the fortune-telling business, Ah Fu most often heard him say that everything has a cause and must have an effect, just like she Ah Fu is willing to stay here, for the shopkeeper and his wife to work day and night to make cattle and horses, is because Ah Fu wants to repay their husband and wife for the nurturing grace. Although she has not eaten better than Fujin over the years, just like the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law often says, that is, without them, maybe she would have been taken away by wolves in the ravine, or frozen to death and starved to death in some wild mountain ditch.

This is one point, in fact, there is another point, that is, Ah Fu has been in this Wutong Town since he was a child, and the most familiar place is the range of the Yanshan Bridge within a radius of two miles, let her go out, she doesn't know where to go, or what to do, so she simply stayed here to wash and wash, and listened to the story about the Yanshan Bridge over and over again, and the days passed day by day, but when he thought of being a concubine for Da Weigo, Ah Fu felt a little reluctant.

But sometimes in this world, it's not all things with effects and causes, such as the old man who Ah Fu took in the firewood shed next door the night before, Ah Fu couldn't guess what the reason for him to stay in Wutong Town was.

I thought that the old man had survived all night, and he would go back along the road at dawn the next day, but he didn't expect the sun to be high, and the old man was still sleeping in the small firewood shed, which made the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law complain to Ah Fu, and then dialed a few abacus, and recorded a stay arrears for the old man, and by the way, let Ah Fu know what kind of high-level treatment she Ah Fu enjoyed, even if she was a cow and a horse for a lifetime, she couldn't repay such a valuable kindness.

Ah Fu couldn't help nodding to show that he knew, but the old man didn't eat that set at all, and he babbled nonsense, saying that the place where the gods had slept would be the blessed land of feng shui in the future, and the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law looked at the beggar-like old man, thinking that she had recruited some madman, so she drove the old man out with a broom, and Ah Fu looked at the blow on the old man's head, and he silently shrank his neck, feeling a little painful panic.

In the middle of the night, Ah Fu thought that the old man had left Wutong Town, but he didn't want him to walk around the town, he was very hungry, so he came back, and secretly took advantage of the gap between the shopkeeper and his wife to take a nap, and asked Ah Fu who was doing the laundry for a bowl of leftover old rice, squatted by the river and devoured it, and then wiped his mouth, arrogantly said to Ah Fu, he is the old man of the moon in the Nine Heavens, named Chaojiao, this time he came to the world because his friend had reached the time limit for the enchantment under the demon three hundred years ago. He has come to put on a shackle and have consolidated the boundary.

Ah Fu listened to it, and felt that there was finally something new in so many versions of the Shan Bridge, so he asked Chao Jie like a foreigner who listens to stories on weekdays: "Then where will your Divine Monarch friend go after he falls?" ”

Chao Jiao frowned for a moment, and said with some regret in his tone: "Although the life span of a person is short, he can enter reincarnation after death, and when the Divine Monarch dies, it will disappear, but my friend has not actually fallen, because his divine origin is not damaged, and a marriage line that fell on me is still faintly alive, but it is just a little dim." ”

Ah Fu listened to what he said, and while swinging the clothes in his hand in the clear river water a few times, he looked at the Yanshan Bridge that was still standing not far away and said, "You mean that the big demon is about to come out?" ”

Chao Jiu nodded, squatted on the bank of the river and also looked under the bridge, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, it has come out." ”

Ah Fu smiled, felt interesting, picked up a handful of water and washed his face to relieve the fatigue at noon, and said disapprovingly: "Legend has it that the big demon came out of a bloody storm, and now this Wutong Town is not as peaceful and quiet." After that, Ah Fu boasted to Chao Jiao again: "Although some people say that the big demon is coming out every year, but the version you talk about today, I think it is the most interesting, maybe you can go to the shopkeeper in the afternoon to talk about it, tell him a story for half a day at the bridge, if you still don't want to leave, let him let you sleep in the small firewood shed tonight." ”

Chao Jiu disdained to follow Ah Fu's advice, but if he thought about it, he really only had this one way to go, who called him the only one in heaven and earth who was in charge of marriage The position of the god monarch was boring, and who told him to be righteous and brainy, and he was not strong enough to hurry up to this errand. Looking at the lake and the already scorching sun overhead, Chao Jie felt that maybe because the people around him were crazy, he was also a little crazy.

When it was almost nightfall, Ah Fu cooked the meal, and after eating his share at the door, he had not cleaned up the dishes piled up on the table by the shopkeeper's family, and saw the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law come over and say to Ah Fu with a smile, "Ah Fu, your brother Dawei came back from hunting today and said that he threw an arrow with a fine iron head at the foot of the mountain, and you also know that your brother Dawei likes that arrow the most, if he loses it, he will be very sad." ”

Ah Fu also felt pity, so he comforted the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law and said, "Then tomorrow morning, I will go with Brother Dawei to find it." ”

The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law pursed her lips, a little reluctant, and then tried to put on a kind appearance, "Tomorrow at dawn, in case someone is in a hurry over there to meet him, wouldn't he be even more unable to find it if he picked it up." ”

Ah Fu thought about it, so he proposed: "Then I'll go and ask Big Viagra where he was lost now, so that I can look for it with the lamp." ”

With that, Ah Fu was about to walk towards Big Viagra's room in the main room.

The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law grabbed Ah Fu's hand, smiled and said: "Ah Fu, you also know that your big viagra loves you the most, he is reluctant to have arrows, and he is reluctant to ask you to look for it in the middle of the night, and Dawei is wronged left and right, so it's better for the two of us to go to find it, you go first, I'll go back to the house and add some clothes to you." ”

Ah Fu looked at the dark night outside, felt a little timid, and just wanted to persuade the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law to go together, but saw the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law pull down her face, stuffed the lantern that had been prepared in her hand into Ah Fu's hand, gritted her teeth and said: "Why do you girl know so much, in vain your big viagra is so good to you, you don't even want to walk a few steps to find an arrow!" As he spoke, he pushed Ah Fu out, his eyes full of disgust.

Ah Fu looked at the secluded path at night, hesitated for a moment, but still clenched the lantern in his hand, summoned Fu Jin to be brave, and walked towards the forest at the foot of the mountain.

In fact, Ah Fu still wanted to call Shang Chaojiao to go with her, but that Chaojiao disappeared in the afternoon, and he was still there when he was eating, but at this time there was no one else in the small firewood shed, and he didn't know where to go to tell the story of his crazy demons.

If it is daytime, the road to the forest at the foot of the mountain is quite familiar, but at night, it seems that the surroundings seem particularly strange, walking in the bright moonlight is good, if walking in the dark place of the backlight, Ah Fu has a lantern like a firefly in his hand, almost can only see the land under his feet, look around, listen with his ears sideways, as if he has gone to a world that has never been to.

When passing by the grave at the west end of the town, Ah Fu lowered his head and walked in a panic, as if he could vaguely hear the sound of whining and crying in his ears, but in the middle of the night, even if there were crying graves, it should not be at this hour, until a gust of wind passed, I felt that the surroundings were quieter, and the crying was still vague, but it was much farther away.

After the cemetery, the surroundings were much wider, and although there were trees on both sides of the road, the dappled moonlight was densely sprinkled, allowing Ah Fu to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Tightening the clothes on his body, Ah Fu restrained himself from thinking about other things, and when he arrived at the approximate place that the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law had said, he began to look for it inch by inch in the grass by the roadside, holding a lantern.

On weekdays, Ah Fu listens to those people tell the story of the Yanshan Bridge at the bridge, and now it seems that the story of the big demon of the Yanshan Bridge has faded a lot in his mind, and it is becoming clearer and clearer, interspersed with the story, the rumors about the demons and monsters around this tomb. It is rumored that some people have met the evil ghost with blue face and fangs here, and some people say that they have met the fox fairy who sucks people's souls here, and some people say that there are many unjust souls here, and the people who died in vain will float out of the grave at night, looking for the substitute ghost of the yang world.

A heart was beating in his chest, and Ah Fu had the courage to talk to Fujin, so he picked up the clumps of grass and looked for it carefully.

The lantern in his hand was blown by the night wind, and the shadows illuminated around him were pulled up and down, and after a shade of trees, Ah Fu saw that the surroundings began to brighten, and the moonlight was spread, so he hung the lantern on the branch on the side, thinking about borrowing the moonlight to find it for a while, if he really couldn't find it, he did his best, and the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law complained at most, and he wouldn't really punish her for anything.

After looking for a moment, there was a slight swishing sound in the grass, as if something was quietly moving, stirring the surrounding grass.

Ah Fu got goosebumps, thinking that there were really some fox spirits and ghosts, so he couldn't help but straighten up and look around, but found that the surroundings were still quiet, except for the weeds that reached his thighs, and his own lantern not far away was faintly shining there.

When he bent down to continue the search, Ah Fu found that Fujin beside him suddenly barked vigilantly into the grass not far ahead, as if he had encountered something extremely terrible, and the barking brought out some strange tones, and his body was trembling incessantly, and he kept taking steps back.

Ah Fu looked forward, Fujin's call, it seemed that he really startled something hidden in the grass, only to hear the sound of the grass resounding, between the chaotic gaps, revealing a few pairs of dark green eyes, with a bloodthirsty low roar, staring coldly at Ah Fu who was stunned.
