'Goo...'

Just when Su Jiping was stunned, a palm-sized toad jumped out of the grass, and then jumped straight to his feet.

Su Jiping had never seen such a large toad since he was born, and he was curious but didn't want to catch it, because the ugly red spots on the toad's skin made people feel disgusting to look at.

"Go, go, go."

Su Jiping raised his foot and kicked the toad aside, but who knew that the toad seemed to be relying on him, and it didn't take long for it to jump at his feet again.

Hey, this toad is quite persistent?

Feeling amused in his heart, Su Jiping couldn't help but squat down to look at the dark gray toad with a little red.

Within a few minutes of watching, the toad turned around and jumped away.

Although he didn't know where the toad was going, Su Jiping was very curious and followed it around and stopped.

After a cup of tea, maybe the toad was also a little tired, and finally stopped in place.

Su Jiping folded a straw stick in his hand, leaned over and poked at the toad: "Why did you stop?" It's bouncing. ”

The toad originally maintained its original posture, but in the end, it was impatient to be poked by Su Jiping, so he turned around directly in place and stared at his eyes so closely.

Its pair stared at Su Jiping with big eyes, which made Su Jiping panic for no reason, and the one under his feet was not careful, and he directly hit a dilapidated wooden door behind him.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

The wooden door behind him was slammed open.

Su Jiping also lost his center of gravity and fell heavily on his back to the ground.

Although the fall was not light, Su Jiping was a rural man after all, and his body was quite strong, so this impact was not a big problem for him.

It's just that Su Jiping's hands on the ground suddenly seemed to be stained with some viscous liquid, and there was a slimy feeling.

Holding his hands in front of his eyes and looking at them, Su Jiping was startled, because his hands were not stained with anything else, but with streams of bright red blood.

Su Jiping gasped, his palms were trembling slightly, and he could clearly feel that there was still a trace of warmth in the blood.

Leaning sideways, I looked to the ground, and saw that streams of red blood were flowing out of the ground of the small hut behind me.

"Uh, I..."

A faint voice came from the dark room, and Su Ji felt creepy, and when he pricked up his ears to listen carefully, the voice was gone.

How did that movement just now seem to be the voice of a person talking?

Su Jiping panicked, standing in place and looking at the dark room in front of him, he hesitated for a long time, and finally planned to have the courage to go over and take a look, he just wanted to know what secrets were hidden in it at the moment.

As he walked, his arm was suddenly grabbed from behind.

Su Jiping's soul was in danger, and he almost screamed, but he turned around like an electric shock only to find that it was Uncle Huang who was already standing behind him at some point.

"What are you doing here, young man? Come with me to breakfast. ”

Uncle Huang had a smile on his face, and he stepped up his efforts to pull Su Jiping away from here.

Because of doubts in his heart, Su Jiping resisted Uncle Huang a little, he struggled twice very cooperatively, pointed to the small hut behind him with his free other hand, and said tremblingly: "What is in there?" Why is there so much blood on the ground? ”

Uncle Huang's face did not change and said lightly: "What's so strange about this, it's nothing more than the blood shed by some birds and beasts I hunted in the mountains last night." ”

“.....”

Su Jiping was dumbfounded, and was dragged forward by Uncle Huang, and before entering the house, he glanced at the third small thatched hut behind him, which had already been wide open.

As Uncle Huang sat down at the dinner table, when he faced those delicacies again, as long as he thought of the bloody scene just now, he had no appetite, and at the same time he was beating a drum in his heart: I really don't know what this weird old man is doing.

Uncle Huang and his youngest son saw that Su Jiping had never moved his chopsticks, and couldn't help but comfort him on the side: "How can people do it if they don't eat, you are not beaten with iron, if you are hungry, how can you work as a long-term worker for others in the future?" ”

This sentence definitely pinched Su Jiping's weakness, and it can also be said to be a hundred tried-and-done, and sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Su Jiping picked up the chopsticks and put the vegetables in his mouth to eat.

But chewing and chewing, Su Jiping suddenly noticed that the taste of this meat was a little strange, he was a native of the countryside and mountain farmers, so he was particularly sensitive to the taste of this mountain game.

If it weren't for the fact that I was thinking about things in my heart, I guess I would have been able to detect that something was wrong the moment I ate the dish.

Although the reaction was half a beat slower, Su Jiping still didn't forget to ask Uncle Huang what kind of animal meat this dish was made of.

Uncle Huang smiled and said that there were pheasants, hares, and snake meat.

Su Jiping picked up a piece of meat, handed it to his nose and sniffed it carefully, and couldn't help frowning: "But this doesn't look like the smell of game in the mountains at all?" ”

"Oh."

Uncle Huang put down his chopsticks, squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to point to the plates of dishes in front of him: "I forgot to tell you that this meat is also mixed with some pigs I brought back from my relatives' house yesterday." ”

Reaching out and knocking on the table, he continued: "With so many kinds of meat mixed together, it is normal for you to feel a little strange when you eat it. ”

Su Jiping wanted to ask again, but suddenly felt a little dizzy.

He shook his head vigorously, but he still felt that his eyelids were heavy, but at this time, even his body began to be a little paralyzed, and soon, he showed a tired look.

There was no way, Su Jiping had no choice but to say hello to Uncle Huang, leave the dining table directly, and then go back to the small hut before to sleep in a trance.

Outside, the sky was overcast, and the rain was unusually heavy.

And Su Jiping, who was sleeping on the clay kang, had a pale complexion, and said some dream words from time to time.

I don't know what's going on, he's very sleepy today, since he ate something in the morning, he has been sleeping from morning to night and hasn't woken up, and the only thing that accompanies his sleepiness is the continuous rain outside.

Su Jiping's face was sweating a lot, and he was trapped in a dream at the moment and couldn't extricate himself.

In the dream, he saw the toad he met this morning, and saw the toad jumping and jumping on the ground, constantly chasing Su Jiping's traces.

Su Jiping kept running in front, and it kept chasing behind.

But no matter how Su Jiping dodged, he couldn't get rid of the entanglement of this toad in the end, and when he was helpless, suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door from outside the house: "Knock knock!" ”

Accompanied by a knock on the door, a slightly thick and deep voice came into the room: "Open the door!" Hurry up and open the door! ”

The knock on the door and the sound of the conversation echoed each other, as if an invisible drumstick was beating on Su Jiping's heart.

In just a short moment, Su Jiping suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and then opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He sat on the kang and gasped for breath, reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, glanced out of the door a few times when he heard the sound, and subconsciously asked, "Who?" Who's out there? ”

"Without further ado, I'm here to save your life! If you don't want to die, come and open the door for me! ”

"The one who saved my life?"

Su Jiping was a little dazed, and said in his heart: Aren't I living a good life now? What's in danger? Is there a mistake?

Although he was hesitant in his heart, Su Jiping hurriedly put on his clothes and hurriedly went down to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a strange young man in a Taoist robe standing outside.

This person was already soaked, but he didn't forget to urge Su Jiping: "Hurry up and follow me, if you don't leave, it's too late!" ”

"With you?"

Seeing the anxious look on this strange little Taoist priest's face, Su Jiping was a little confused: "Who are you?" Where are you taking me? I'm fine here, why should I go with you? ”

"Hey! You're a stubborn man. ”

The little Taoist priest grinned angrily at him, and trembled and blew a breath of hot air between his hands, and asked instead of answering: "Why are you staying here and not leaving?" ”

"Why?"

Su Jiping couldn't help but feel a little funny, and let the little Taoist into the house, and then slowly explained the reason to him.

said that staying here was nothing more than to stutter here, and he was waiting for Uncle Huang to recommend him to do long-term work, if he followed the little Taoist priest so recklessly, wouldn't he be able to get anything.

The little Taoist priest listened to him finish speaking in one breath, and scolded him angrily: "You are a useless thing, don't you even want your life for a bite to eat, what a fool!" ”

Are you sick? How can I open my mouth and shut up to say that I'm a useless thing, or a fool?

Ouch, it seems that this little Taoist priest seems to have a little problem in his brain?

Su Jiping stared back and forth on the little Taoist with his eyes wide open, but the little Taoist didn't care about his scrutinizing gaze at all, but grabbed his wrist and said urgently: "Damn, you old boy is talking a lot of nonsense, if I talk nonsense to you for a while, I guess we will both have to finish the fun." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Su Jiping's indiscriminate resistance, just pulled him hard and went straight to the door and retreated.

Su Jiping was extremely reluctant to be pulled by the little Taoist, and couldn't help but shout with a frightened face: "I said that you little Taoist is so unreasonable, I don't want to leave at all, why are you always pulling me?" Hurry up and let go! ”

He shouted so indiscriminately, which made the little Taoist priest annoyed for a while, and he turned around and seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally let go of him stupidly, "I really convinced you, since you can't understand why I want to take you away in such a hurry, then I'll let you understand now." ”

As soon as the words fell, he quickly took out a spirit talisman from his bosom, and threw it towards the roof with his fingers.

Su Jiping originally thought that this spirit rune would soon fall to the ground, but he was wrong.

Because the spirit rune that had already floated into the air suddenly spontaneously ignited without fire, and just when the spirit rune was about to burn out, it suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling and intense light.
