Finally came to the door of the mountain temple, Grandma Sun and Xiaobao had not yet entered, but they first smelled an extremely strong rancid smell.

The smell made Xiaobao retch, and he no longer had the curiosity he had before, he just wanted to run away from here quickly.

Grandma Sun couldn't bear it and let him go farther.

Although Xiaobao also had this intention, he was worried that Grandma Sun would be in danger for a while, so he finally decided to stay where he was.

Seeing that he insisted, Grandma Sun stopped talking, and tiptoed towards the mountain temple with a peachwood sword in her hand.

Xiaobao covered his mouth and nose and followed her, only to feel tormented.

After walking in, Xiaobao found that there were no windows in the temple at all, only this entrance when he came.

As a result, the temple is poorly lit, and it is pitch black when you enter the temple, and you can't see the whole picture clearly.

Xiaobao was still looking around at his surroundings when he suddenly heard a burst of resentful crying.

The sound sounded a little weird, as it was not a human voice, and if you looked closely, you could see that there was a mixture of male and female voices.

Listening to the tone of neither yin nor yang in the dark environment, Xiaobao admitted that he was indeed a little timid at that time, but when he thought that Granny Sun was in front of him, he still forcibly held back the fear in his heart and continued to move forward.

Just when Xiaobao was cautiously following behind Granny Sun, he suddenly heard Granny Sun suddenly shout: "Who are you!" Why the sneaky stay here! ”

This voice scared Xiaobao so much that he almost fell to the ground.

Because it was dark in front of him, Xiaobao couldn't figure out the situation, but with his judgment of the voice, he estimated that Grandma Sun seemed to be fighting someone.

But the fight didn't last long, it took less than a minute, Xiaobao felt a cold wind pass by him, and before he could react, a black shadow ran in front of his eyes.

The black shadow ran straight to the door, and behind him was Granny Sun holding a sword in hot pursuit.

Xiaobao didn't dare to stay in the mountain temple alone, and ran out of it in a panic.

When I came out, I found Grandma Sun standing outside the dense forest, shaking her head and sighing.

When I asked, I realized that the black shadow had fled into the dense woods.

Xiaobao asked Granny Sun what to do next.

Grandma Sun smiled bitterly: "It's getting late, and the light is too dim, so it seems that I can only go home first." ”

As soon as he got home, Xiaobao asked Grandma Sun why there were mass graves in this place.

Grandma Sun sighed and said, "Now there is a shortage of soldiers outside, and there is a battle between various warlords at every turn, and there are not a few people who die. ”

He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a bowl of water, drank half of it before he continued: "Besides, the common people are living a miserable life now, there is not enough food to eat, and people often starve to death, so it is not surprising that there are mass graves of great or small in almost every place. ”

Xiaobao nodded as if she didn't understand, and asked her if the one she had just met in the mountain temple was a human or a ghost.

Grandma Sun thought thoughtfully, "Let's say that he is a human, but he is contaminated with a strong corpse qi, if you want to say that he is a ghost, he still has a trace of yang energy." ”

In the end, Granny Sun was also a little confused, thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I guess what I just met seems to be a living dead." ”

"The Living Dead?"

It was the first time Xiaobao had heard this word, and he couldn't help but ask: "What kind of person is the living dead?" Whether it's alive or dead. ”

"You'll find out later."

Grandma Sun smiled and said, "You should rest early, you have to go to Xishan tomorrow." ”

"Oh."

Xiaobao answered, turned around and walked towards his small room.

Early the next morning, when the master and apprentice walked to the West Mountain, Xiaobao looked a little listless, because yesterday he thought about the living dead for half a night, which led to lack of sleep and no energy.

Xishan was not too far from Grandma Sun's residence, so Xiaobao followed her without much effort and arrived in front of the small grass hut opened by Fan Blind.

When he arrived, the first thing Xiaobao smelled was an extremely tempting smell of boiled meat.

This gave him a gluttonous drool, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Fan Blind, just staring at the pot of meat and vegetable soup on the stove in a daze.

Fan Zengliang was a little surprised to see Granny Sun leading Xiaobao over, but soon returned to his usual demeanor.

He shook a broken towel on his body, and said angrily: "A bowl of meat and vegetable soup costs two cents, and the head of the nest costs six, and I will have a bowl of you two......."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Granny Sun walked quickly to the stove, stared at the broth inside and frowned, "What kind of meat is this?" ”

Fan Zengliang didn't expect her to ask like this, and was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "It's all wild game caught in the mountains, including pheasants, hares and sparrow meat......

Speaking of this, as if he had woken up suddenly, he blinked a hideous eye and began to look Grandma Sun up and down: "What's the matter?" What is this for, you ask? ”

Granny Sun turned her gaze to his face and looked at him, but did not speak, turned around and pulled Xiaobao to leave.

Xiaobao seemed to be enchanted, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the cauldron with drooling.

If it hadn't been for Granny Sun patting him on the shoulder, he wouldn't have come back to his senses.

As soon as she heard Grandma Sun say that she was leaving, Xiaobao was really a little reluctant, so she turned around and looked into the pot in three steps.

To be honest, it's no wonder Xiaobao, you must know that in the era of warlord melee, ordinary people don't talk about eating meat, and it is already very good to have a mouthful of coarse grain to fill their stomachs.

When it comes to eating meat, it's a bit of a luxury.

Like the smell of meat just now, even adults can't ignore its temptation, let alone a child who is only 12 years old.

Fan Zengliang saw that the old lady was about to leave with Xiaobao in tow, and shouted at the top of his voice: "If you don't have money, forget it, how about I give you a bowl of broth for nothing?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Po Cola went bad, and he struggled and wanted to run back to eat the broth.

Who knew that Granny Sun grabbed his arm and said a little angrily, "You have only been in the division for a few days, and you are about to rebel?" Don't even listen to me? Then do you want to learn powerful Taoism to avenge your parents in the future? ”

Xiaobao had no choice but to cry and follow Grandma Sun back home.

When he arrived at home, Xiaobao still didn't understand why Grandma Sun would stop him from eating broth, so he sat on the threshold angrily, pouted, and looked at the sky alone in a daze.

Seeing him like this, Grandma Sun couldn't help but laugh: "What's the matter? Do you want to think about the pot of broth just now? ”

"Who thought .... Am I not rare? ”

Xiaobao stalked his neck, turned his face to the side, and muttered insincerely.

Grandma Sun didn't poke it either, she sat on a Taishi chair in the courtyard and basked in the sun leisurely, her eyes slightly closed, and she said lightly: "I'll take you to a mass grave tonight, and I'll see you when the time comes." ”

This sentence sounded a little inexplicable to Xiaobao, but he didn't bother to think about it, obviously he was still angry with Grandma Sun.
