Chapter Eighty-Four: Overnight
Chapter Eighty-Four: Overnight
Without torches, the forest is darker than the flat ground, and Autumn Leaves Red can't run fast even if she wants to, but I'm afraid that if you don't catch up with you, I'll fall first.
"What's wrong?" The fire swished on, and Fu Wencheng appeared holding a burning firewood, shaking his head at his feet, barking at Wangwang behind Autumn Leaves, and charging into battle with many dogs.
The monster didn't catch up.
Autumn leaves patted her chest, only feeling that she had scared herself.
"Go, coward!" Autumn leaves kicked the dogs who were jumping around beside her, "I dared to run first!" ”
"It's a cow." Fu Wencheng heard the movement and walked over with a torch.
With the help of the torches, I could see more clearly this time, and sure enough, it was a cow, which seemed to be in a bad state, emaciated, with its head down, panting, and its hooves moving back and forth restlessly.
"I'm sick." Autumn Yehong looked around, because the sick cow might be manic, and she didn't dare to get too close.
"Leave it alone." Fu Wencheng didn't pay attention to it anymore, and saw the lights not far away, "There are people over there, I'll lead the carriage around, you go down first and wait." ”
Autumn leaves were red, Fu Wencheng lit a torch and handed it to her to illuminate, and then turned back into the forest to catch the carriage.
The dogs grinned and purred menacingly around the cow.
"Okay, bully the soft and fear the hard!" Autumn leaves are red and break a branch and smash it.
The dog jumped away and smashed the wooden structure on the cow's feet, and the cow raised its head in fright, swaying from side to side in panic.
Only then did Autumn Leaf Red see the cow's mouth again, it turned out that it was not fangs, but a tongue, and the tongue was swollen and hard, like a wooden pole stuffed into the mouth.
"Sure enough, I'm sick!" Akiba Red approached the cow with a torch and wanted to take a closer look.
The cow was frightened and stepped back, bowing its head and aiming a pair of horns at Autumn Leaf Red.
Qiu Yehong had no choice but to give up, Fu Wencheng drove the carriage around the side of the path, and the two of them looked for the direction of the lights that were flickering far and near.
It's a small village, and it's dark at night, so it's hard to see how many people there are.
"Dad, this family seems to be doing well."
Stopping in front of the outermost house of a small family, Autumn Leaves looked and whispered to Fu Wencheng.
A dog barking suddenly sounded in the yard, alerting the owner that there were people outside, and also warning those who came not to enter.
Duoduo Dog immediately barked without showing weakness, but because it was small, the voice was comparable to the momentum of the dog inside.
With the barking of the two dogs, the village resounded with dog barking one after another.
But this movement did not attract people to ask, Autumn Leaves listened to it, and the courtyard was still quiet, as if everyone was asleep.
Die... Autumn Yehong shuddered, pulled Fu Wencheng's sleeve, and leaned closer to him.
The barking of the dog gradually fell silent, and there was silence all around.
Fu Wencheng personally stepped forward and patted the door, while saying that he was forgiving.
The knock on the door caused the dog to bark again, and when Fu Wencheng was almost out of patience, the sound of kicking and thumping footsteps finally sounded inside.
"Who?" An elderly voice with a bit of timidity asked.
"Passing, the night dew is unbearable, the old man is kind, let us spend the night, I don't know if it's convenient?" Fu Wencheng said.
There was a moment of silence inside.
"Don't be embarrassed if it's inconvenient." Autumn leaves said hurriedly.
The door opened slightly, and it seemed as if someone was holding a lamp to look at them.
"Where are you from?" The old man asked.
"Oh, over there in the woods," Fu Wencheng said.
Before the words fell, the door that had opened a crack slammed shut again.
Fu Wencheng was suddenly unhappy, pressed one hand on the door, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"You guys....haven't been eaten by youkai...... Are you human or ghost? The old man asked tremblingly.
Fu Wencheng and Autumn Yehong were a little puzzled and looked at each other.
"Youkai? Where are there any monsters in this world! Fu Wencheng said suspiciously, "If you don't stay overnight, forget it, what are you doing with this!" ”
After speaking, he pulled up Qiu Yehong, "Hui Niang, let's go." ”
The door creaked open again, and an old man with a gray beard poked his head cautiously out with a lantern.
"This big brother ......" he said a little embarrassed, his eyes turned on Fu Wencheng and Qiu Yehong, and then looked at the carriage, Duoduo Dog jumped up at this time and barked at him.
Showing the living popularity, the old man was suddenly relieved.
"We've had a rough time here lately...... You're knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and you're coming from that side......," the old man explained with a little smile, his eyes looking around uneasily, "Come in, you can't sleep outside." ”
"Thank you, sir." Fu Wencheng and Autumn Leaf Red hurriedly thanked him.
The old man opened the door, and hurriedly helped the carriage inside, looking around uneasily, as if a man-eating monster could pop up at any time in the dark night.
"Old man, are there really monsters in this world? What kind of youkai? Seeing his appearance, Qiu Yehong couldn't help but cover her mouth and ask with a smile.
"Shhh......hhh Two horns can pierce you in the belly......"
"Hah," Akiba smiled suddenly, she knew what kind of monster it was.
"Uncle, isn't that the cow?" Akiba said with a smile.
The old man was startled, "Little sister, have you seen it?" ”
"That cow is sick, where is the monster!" Akiba Hong laughed.
They had already approached the courtyard at this time, and a big yellow dog was tied to a big tree in the courtyard, and when they saw the living people and the raw dogs, they began to bark desperately.
Duoduo Dog walked over provocatively, and in the range that the big yellow dog couldn't reach, he on his face.
The courtyard suddenly resounded with the mad bark of a big yellow dog.
"Sick?" The old man was startled, "Wong Tai Sin said that he was possessed by a demon, and everyone is raising money for him to subdue the demon." A strange look at Qiu Yehong, "You little girl, how do you know that you are sick?" ”
It turned out that someone wanted to make money, no wonder the gossip confused the public.
Autumn Leaves covered her mouth and smiled, pointing to the wooden stick inserted in the car, and the bell on it rang one by one.
"Uncle, I'm the bell doctor, the bell doctor who specializes in looking at livestock, I just saw the cow, although I don't know what the disease is, but it is definitely sick, not possessed by demons."
The old man sighed, opened his eyes and looked at Qiu Yehong, seeing that she was not very old and dressed simply, and then looked at the carriage, and sure enough, there was a bell hanging on the carriage.
"You're a veterinarian?" The old man will be skeptical.
At this moment, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy rubbed his eyes, walked out of the courtyard wall door, carried a lantern in his hand, and said unhappily: "Third uncle, why is it so noisy?" It's so noisy that the young master can't sleep! ”
When he saw a living person standing in the courtyard, he was startled.
"Who is this? Why did you let the living into the house casually? ”
"Oh, Brother Xiaoshan, you came just in time, go and tell the young master that Shiro's cow is not a monster." The old man patted his leg and said hurriedly.
The person who was called Brother Xiaoshan was stunned, "Third uncle, are you dreaming?" What nonsense! ”
The old man pointed to Fu Wencheng's father and daughter, repeated what Qiu Yehong had just said, and urged Brother Xiaoshan to go in and say something.
"Really? Don't you want to eat and drink, do you? Brother Xiaoshan muttered, he couldn't bear the old man's kind words, and dropped a sentence, "Wait first, I'll ask the young master if there is a place for you to live." ”
"There's little brother Lao." Qiu Yehong hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and watched the little brother go inside.
"Our young master is the most good-hearted, and the two of you are at ease." The old man smiled and comforted them.
Fu Wencheng thanked him, said two words, and heard someone inside: "But the rich little doctor in Shaoxing Mansion? ”
Then a man walked out quickly, followed by two young men with lanterns and lanterns.
Is your reputation already so big? Autumn Yehong sighed in her heart, raised her eyes to look, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Tao Shaodong's house?" Autumn leaves were stunned, "This is your home?" ”
At the same time as he spoke, the person who came had already walked in front of everyone, and Xu was already asleep, so he only wore a white middle coat and a dark blue cloak.
It is the young owner of Chunhe, Tao Jun.
