Zheng Qian didn't ask much, according to the old lady, it is very dangerous in the woods now, and animals like wolves appear in groups, if they really meet, then Zheng Qian doesn't even have a chance to run.

After listening to her say these things, Zheng Qian even walked lightly.

Because of the old lady's support, Zheng Qian walked very slowly, and it took about half an hour before they reached the small village.

Sure enough, it was a small village, with only five or six thatched huts, and a few people coming and going, Zheng Qian thought that those little beggars in Xudu were pitiful enough, but he didn't expect that there would be such a place in the underworld.

After seeing the village, the old lady said ostentatiously: "Look at the young man, my old woman didn't lie to you, we do have a village here, although the place is small and there are few people, but it is a home." ”

The old lady's words, Zheng Qian heard a little helpless, after he went to the underworld, although the days in the Yin City were very difficult, but at least the noodle stall owner Chen Degui let him have a full meal, but the people here, can they really eat enough?

"Old lady, what are you going to eat at noon today!" Zheng Qian asked tentatively.

"At noon, we don't eat at noon, we can't compare to you people in the capital these days, we can't eat enough at all, it doesn't matter what we eat, anyway, we all become ghosts, and we can't starve to death at all."

"Then when are you going to eat?"

"Our family is good, because I have a son, that kid has a lot of strength, and he can find food when he goes out during the day, so he can eat a meal every night, but others are different, there is an old man in our village, he can only eat a meal in three days, he is old, and it is not easy to find food."

Eating one meal in three days, this, how uncomfortable it is.

Recently, Zheng Qian has seen a lot of things in the underworld and met many people, but he feels that even the little man named Huazi in Xudu is better off than the people in this small village.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, Zheng Qian heard someone shouting from behind: "Let go of my mother!" ”

Then he felt that someone had kicked him hard in the back, and he quickly let go of the old lady and fell directly to the ground.

If it was placed in normal times, this kick would not have had any effect on Zheng Qian at all, but that person kicked the location of his wound, and after Zheng Qian fell to the ground, he fainted directly.

Before fainting, I heard the old lady say in a daze: "Hey Dachang, what are you doing, people are good people, and they sent me home." ”

"Ah, I don't know, I thought he wanted to hurt you."

"Look at your kick, everyone has fainted, hurry up, carry it home."

"Oh, I know, mother."

After that, Zheng Qian didn't know anything, and after waking up, he was lying in a thatched house, which was really poor enough, except for two beds and a table, there were only a few stools left, and nothing else.

Zheng Qian covered his stomach and slowly sat up from the bed, now the wound hurt so badly that he felt that he couldn't get out of bed at all.

Seeing that Zheng Qian got up, the old lady hurriedly came over and said, "Oh young man, are you okay, it's all my son's recklessness, I haven't said anything yet, I kicked you when I came up, you look at what it looks like to kick the city for you." ”

Zheng Qian covered his stomach, waved his hand, and said, "Your son's kick happened to kick my wound, and I was also unlucky." ”

"Wounds? What wound? Hearing this, the old lady's son also came over.

Zheng Qian reluctantly untied his windbreaker and showed them the penetrating wound on his stomach.

"Oh my God, boy, how did you get this, no, no, you're like this, how are you still alive."

He smiled helplessly and said, "Auntie, I really can't tell you about my business, okay, you're home now, I have to leave quickly, otherwise it won't be done." ”

But as soon as Zheng Qian wanted to stand up, he sat back on the bed directly in pain, this kick was really heavy, the eldest mother's son was a strong man of more than 1.9 meters, and ordinary ghosts were kicked by him, and it hurt for a long time, not to mention that he had such a serious injury on his body.

Seeing that Zheng Qian couldn't get up, the old lady hurriedly helped him and said, "Young man, don't be reckless, or you can recuperate with us first, and then walk when you can walk, and now I hear a wolf howling in the forest, it is very dangerous for you to walk now." ”

Zheng Qian really can't walk now, he can't get out of bed at all now, and the pain in moving his body is unbearable.

At this time, the eldest lady's son actually pounced on the track, and a strong man of more than one meter and nine meters said with a crying voice: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't beat you indiscriminately, I'm sorry for you, big brother, let you not say that it hurts, this will delay your errands, or you will beat me up, big brother." ”

Zheng Qian made him startled by this move, he didn't expect such a strong man to kneel down for himself, although this matter was his fault, but it was also out of kindness, looking at his attitude, Zheng Qian had no intention of blaming, and said directly: "Brother, get up, I don't blame you, you do this, it's also for the safety of the old man, get up quickly." ”

"Let him kneel!" The old lady said next to her: "I've said this problem several times, and he always does it without asking clearly, you see, this time it's troublesome!" ”

Zheng Qian said: "Auntie, let him get up, what does such a big man think about kneeling on the ground." ”

"I should kneel for you, you saved my mother's life, it is equivalent to saving my life, and not to mention that I kicked you indiscriminately and delayed a lot of things for you."

Zheng Qian waved his hand and said, "Big brother, I don't know what your name is?" ”

"Huh? My name is Cao Hongchang. ”

"Cao Hongchang, okay, don't worry too much, I don't blame you at all, kick me, you are completely in filial piety, hurry up, don't kneel here."

Cao Hongchang glanced at the old lady a little timidly, and when he saw the old lady nodding, he slowly stood up.

Zheng Qian took out his mobile phone, called Li Xue, and told her everything that happened today.

Li Xue asked, "How are you doing now?" ”

"Body, it's nothing, it's just a little painful, you also know my situation, the old man who picked up bones didn't kill me, he couldn't kick me. But I'm having a bit of a hard time walking now, and I might need to take a break here. ”

"I'm going to work overtime today, the chairman has a meeting, I can get off work at about nine o'clock, and I'll pick you up then."

"Don't make a fuss, didn't you hear me say that there are wolves in the woods? And it's still alive, running from the sun, and coming by yourself is no different from sending you to death. ”

Li Xue was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out myself!" ”

"What do you think, don't make trouble."

"Didn't you say you found a master? It's that Ning Lao Dao, I know this person, and I have dealt with him twice, and when the time comes, I'll let him go with me, it's always okay! ”

"Ah, then, it's okay, if he's here, nothing should happen, so come on."

"Well, okay, I'll be there for you before ten o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, but it's not easy to find this place..."

"It's okay, I'll send you a software, you install it on your phone, and then I can locate your location."

"So high-tech?"

"Nonsense, okay, I won't tell you, I have something on my side."

Then he hung up the phone.

That is to say, from now on, Zheng Qian will be in this thatched hut and wait until more than ten o'clock in the evening.

The old lady understood what Zheng Qian meant, and said, "Young man, it's okay, you just rest here, when the injury is healed, you can go again." ”

Zheng Qian took a look at the environment in this room and said, "No, I still have something to do at night, and I have to go." ”

"Oh, that's the case, then, Dachang, hurry up and find something to eat, let's eat something good in the evening."

"Okay, I'll go!" After finishing speaking, Cao Hongchang went out with a basket.

This afternoon, Zheng Qian didn't talk much, because he was not feeling well, he lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

After waking up, it was already dark, Cao Hongchang also came back with a basket, there were only a few wild fruits and some mushrooms in it, the old lady nodded, and said to Zheng Qian: "This mushroom is very good, just to replenish your body, you can also taste my old lady's craftsmanship." ”

"Well, okay, trouble."

"You're welcome, the mushroom soup made by my mother is delicious, I'll eat more later." Cao Hongchang always speaks straightforwardly.

After the mushroom soup was stewed, Cao Hongchang brought a big bowl to Zheng Qian, put it next to the bed, and said, "Big brother, you taste it, it's really delicious." ”

"Okay, I'll try it."

The mushrooms are full, the soup is clear, and when you pick up the bowl, you can smell the fragrance of plants and trees, and I don't know how the old lady did it, so she melted the umami of the mushrooms into the soup.

He blew it, and because it was very hot, he took a sip of his lips first, and a strong umami smell slid down his tongue into his stomach, and the taste was simply too good. He blew hard twice, and then took a big sip, which was mellow and not greasy, and it was warm all over his body after drinking, it was indeed very comfortable and delicious.

Zheng Qian glanced at the old lady and said, "Wow, your craftsmanship is really good." ”

After finishing speaking, he picked up chopsticks and ate mushrooms, wild mushrooms are very fresh, let the old lady do this, it is simply a delicacy in the world... No, the underworld is delicious.

"Eat more if it's delicious, there's still it in the pot."

"Hehe, mother, give me a bowl too."

The three of them ate comfortably, but as soon as they put down the dishes and chopsticks, they heard a wolf howl outside.

"Whew..."

Zheng Qian was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Cao Hongchang picked up a wooden stick in the corner of the wall and said, "It's okay, it should be a wolf." ”

However, as soon as he finished saying this, the wolf's howl came closer and closer.

In fact, Zheng Qian knew how these wolves came in, they all came in through Huang Zhongtian's yin-yang mirror, half a month ago, Huang Zhongtian just got the yin-yang mirror out, and these beasts entered the underworld.

Cao Hongchang glanced out of the window and said, "It's broken, it's bad this time, the wolf has entered the village!" ”
