The old man stopped us and didn't let us go, the old man replied a few words, we were clear, it turned out that forty miles before crossing the bridge, there was only one village, and there would be a night-eating night owl in that village, so everyone was going in the morning, trying not to spend the night in that village, we heard that there were man-eating monsters, and we thought that we had seen a lot, and we had also got rid of some man-eating monsters.

To tell the truth, at that time, the world was in turmoil, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, countless people died, and there were resentments everywhere, many ghosts were born of resentment, or they used the troubled times to absorb people's essence into essence, and in turn harmed people, but we are not afraid, one is that my junior brother and I know the Tao, and the other is that we still have guns in our hands, and we are a little disdainful of those ghosts.

After saying goodbye to the kind old man, we drove the carriage on the road, and the old man looked at us and shook his head, muttering that we did not take the old man's words to heart. Lao Zhangtou is an honest man, he doesn't want to cause trouble, so he drove the carriage fast, at the beginning, for the gravel road, not very muddy, Lao Zhangtou said: "According to our speed, we will definitely be able to avoid the village infested by night owls."

But as the saying goes, people are not as good as the sky, the further you go, the more overgrown the weeds, the more muddy the road, it seems that this road is rarely walked. The four of us had to get off the carriage, the muddy place helped the cart, fortunately the scenery along the way was good, the rabbit walked and the eagle flew, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, and the most important thing was that there were no people on this road, there were a lot of ripe peaches on the side of the road, no one picked them, we could pick them up and eat.

Mao peach for our age, very familiar, it is wild and wild, no one manages, knotted peaches, many flavors, long sweet, round sour, after washing, when broken, the flesh is very easy to separate, the peach pit in the middle with red tendons, sweet and sour to eat, with a trace of bitterness, people can't stop eating, and the stomach is round all the time.

While tasting the peach and talking, we had already looked at the matter of the night owl to the clouds. The carriage went forward, and then to the gravel road, the speed of the car was faster, although we forgot about the night owl, but the old Zhang Tou did not forget, he drove the carriage forward, at this time the sun was about to go down, there was a village in front, this village was very large, from a distance, there were only a few smokes.

Needless to say, this is the village that the old man said, looking at the past from a distance, there is a mountain behind the village, the so-called mountain is a lonely mountain, not very big, but it is also full of green trees, the village is built by the mountain, this village is very large, but what makes people strange is that such a big village, there are only a few cooking smokes.

Our carriage slowly entered the village, and found that the village was very desolate, and there were collapsed houses everywhere, as if no one lived in it. ”

I said, "There are people who live, and when we come, we see that there is cooking smoke in the village, and since there is cooking smoke, there must be someone, so let's go inside and see." ”

After speaking, we continued to walk inside, to the middle of the village, the house is complete, when entering the village, those are low thatched huts, simply with stones, and then wipe it with mud, can not withstand the rain and wind, as long as no one lives for a few years, it will collapse, but these people in the middle of the village, are some rich families, are tile houses, so there is no collapse, and then go inside, I found a strange phenomenon, that is, the New Year's pictures pasted on the gate, the general gate is pasted with Spring Festival couplets, or Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao's door gods of those generals, but here are all cats, black cats, white cats, flower cats, this cat is the door god, I really see it for the first time.

The carriage was moving forward, and suddenly Luo Xihan pointed ahead and said, "Look, what's ahead?" ”

I looked ahead, only to see a person walking in front, that person on crutches, slowly walking forward, only to see the back of the person's head, with a big flower face, a closer look, what makes people laugh is that it is a big cat face, the old man here really can play.

Our carriage walked over, the old man pulled two horses, the horse neighed, the person who walked in front of him, was scared and sat on the ground, we saw the old man fall to the ground, so he hurried over to help the old man, helped up to see, it turned out to be an old woman, I said: "Auntie didn't fall you, right?" ”

The old lady looked at us and said, "How many guests are in a hurry?" ”

I nodded and said, "Auntie, we're in a hurry." ”

The old lady said: "Then you should hurry up, don't stay here, twenty miles ahead, there is a village, and a few guests can go to that village to live." ”

Mao Qinglian said: "Auntie, it's dusk now, if we go another twenty miles, it will be dark that day, can we borrow this village for one night?" ”

When the old lady heard this, she was a little excited, and hurriedly said: "No, no, go quickly, go quickly, take advantage of the fact that it is not dark, hurry up." ”

Lao Zhangtou said in the back: "In this case, I think let's go, twenty miles, if it's fast, it won't take much longer." ”

But at this time, Luo Xihan said: "Don't go, this lady, you are so unreasonable, we live with you, and it's not that we don't give you money." ”

The old woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I really can't live here, and if you stay, it will hurt you." ”

We were about to say something, when there was a cry in a courtyard, and the old lady murmured: "Another old sister has died, and we will all die like this slowly, and if you don't leave, it will be the same fate as her." ”

I said, "What's going on?" How did that person die? ”

The old lady said, "Don't ask this little guest, hurry up, you can't ask about this matter." ”

I said, "Auntie, could it be that the person who died was harmed by a monster?" ”

The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and said: "It is true that we were killed by monsters, and we people will also be killed by monsters in the end, and we will not have a few days to live." ”

Tian Ning said in the back: "The blue sky and the white sun, Lang Lang Qiankun, how can you allow monsters to harm people everywhere, auntie, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to get rid of this monster." ”

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, we haven't asked the truth of the matter yet, so we agreed so quickly, what if we can't deal with it? I think so in my heart, but since Tianning has agreed, then I can't shirk it, the old lady listened to Tianning's words, her face was a burst of surprise, and then her face was overshadowed, and she said: "The night owl is very powerful, you can't deal with the night owl, let's go quickly, there were Taoist priests who wanted to deal with the night owl before, and the next day the night owl was hollowed out of his brain." ”

Senior brother Tianning is a monkey temper, most afraid of someone to provoke, as soon as the old mother said this, Tianning patted her chest and said: "Auntie, you look down on us, we have killed many man-eating monsters." ”

The old lady looked at Tianning expectantly and said, "What you said is true? ”

Tianning said: "Of course it's true, the big knives behind our backs are all real guys." ”

The old lady suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "God, our village is saved this time." Several, I kowtowed to a few. ”

As he spoke, he knelt there and kowtowed to us, how dare we let the old lady kowtow to us, quickly get out of the way, help the old lady up, I said to the old lady: "By the way, what is the old sister you just said?" ”

The old lady sighed and said: "My old sister was killed by a night owl who ate her brains, and I only found out this evening, and now the mortuary is in the yard, and we, the old neighbors, have rushed over to have a look." ”

I said, "Auntie, take us to have a look." ”

The old lady said, "Okay, a few little guests follow my old mother, let's go and have a look." ”

Talking and walking in front of the head, we followed behind, and after walking a short distance, we arrived at a courtyard, and when we went to the courtyard, we saw that there were old men and old women in a courtyard, and there was no young man, these people were all on their heads, wearing the mask of a flower-faced cat, and when we went in, those people looked at us blankly. I quickly turned my head away and looked into the room, where a cold air began to rise on my back and my scalp involuntarily exploded.
