After the old bald incident, Old Man Zheng's motivation to return to Mao'er Village seemed to have become stronger.

After breakfast, he urged us into the mountain vigorously, and his expression was not ordinary eagerness.

"What are you anxious about?" Qibao also asked him at the time: "There is no one in the village, and those villains are gone, what are you doing in a hurry to go back?" ”

Old man Zheng didn't think much about it, and told Qibao very calmly that he had to go back and have a look.

"It's the place where I was born and raised, and even if it's gone now, I'll have to go back and take a look." When Old Man Zheng said this, he also asked for our opinions: "If you think it's risky, then don't follow me." ”

"Don't!" Qibao hurriedly said, "We must follow!" We don't have any money for this work, and if we go back like this, we'll lose a lot of money! ”

"You're interested in Lilliputia, aren't you?" Old man Zheng asked, his expression was very serious, as if he had confirmed his speculation, and said to us straight to the point: "The reason why I went back to the village with me is also because of this...... It can't really be Lei Feng, right? ”

Shippo didn't say anything, but I nodded and said, yes.

"You want villains too?" Old man Zheng looked at me intently, and the seriousness in his old eyes seemed to be a bone scraper, trying to scrape off my disguise one by one.

It's a pity that I didn't pretend to be honest with him generously.

"If we could, we would like to meet Lilliputia, after all, this kind of kingdom only exists in legends, and if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to touch it in our lives......."

"That's why?" Old man Zheng asked again: "You really didn't lie to me?" ”

"There's another reason." I smiled, "I want Lilliputia's fruit." ”

Hearing my answer, let alone Old Man Zheng, even Qibao couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lilliputia's fruit?" Old man Zheng looked at me confused: "What fruit?" ”

"The kind of nuts you say, the nuts that the little people use to fill their stomachs." I said, spreading my hands, "That thing is useful to me, so that's why I'm coming along." ”

"What about them?" Old man Zheng asked quietly.

"Old Shen is here, can we not come?" Qibao replied very simply: "Just think that the road is uneven and draw a knife to help, can't you see the excitement?" ”

For this answer, Old Man Zheng seemed quite satisfied, smiled and didn't ask any more, and took us to the mountain.

Walked through the woods and into Mao'er Mountain, and there was no trouble along the way.

There was no injustice, and there was no ogre from Mao'er Village to carry out a sneak attack, and we all felt a lot more relaxed as we walked, and it felt like stepping on a youth tour.

But the further back I went, the more the relief I could feel disappeared......

"It's so quiet."

As I spoke, I glanced at Shippo and asked him, "Do you feel it?" ”

"What?" Shippo took a cigarette in his mouth and asked me with a confused face, "What do you feel?" ”

"There are no enemies." Chang Longxiang was also a little puzzled, and looked at me: "Is there a situation?" ”

I nodded, and shook my head again, my expression very ugly.

"It's so quiet." As I spoke, I glanced around, my eyes full of puzzlement: "In those woods that I leaned outside, there were still some insects and birds, but the deeper I walked into Mao'er Mountain, the more completely these sounds disappeared......

Maybe they didn't notice that, until I brought it up, and Shippo and Chang Longxiang realized that something was wrong.

"Didn't the old bald man say that they not only eat people but also animals, could it be that all the animals in the mountains have made them light?" Chang Longxiang analyzed with a serious face.

I said not necessarily, there are too many animals in the mountains, and it is basically impossible to eat them all, and the population base of Mao'er Village is too small......

"Maybe I was scared away." I said, frowning: "Becoming an old bald man, the physical body has been far from the standard of human beings, ninety percent of them seem to be wronged, most of the animals can see ghosts, and they have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, so ......."

As I said this, I was interrupted by a sudden crow call.

Following the crow call, above the forest not far away, hundreds of crows were huddled together, crouching in the canopy of the trees and looking at us.......

I remember that when we accompanied the old man to deal with the corpse of Wufu, we also met a flock of crows in the mountains, and even met the overlord among the crows, the extremely ugly pupil black.

The crows led by Hitomi Crow are more spiritual than these sudden crows.

The flock of crows we saw at this time...... It seems to be composed of ordinary crows, and there is nothing special about it.

"Are these crows unjust?" Shippo asked me, holding the five consecutive rounds in his hand, as if he was a little nervous.

"Probably not." I shook my head: "But let's be careful, the beasts in the mountains are missing, and I only see these crows after walking around for a long time...... Something is wrong! ”

"Master Zheng, how far is it from Mao'er Village?" Chen Qiuyan asked.

Hearing this question, Old Man Zheng didn't squeak, first looked left and right, and then looked back, as if he was sure of something.

"If nothing else, we will be able to reach the entrance of the village at eight o'clock tonight." Old man Zheng laughed, and his expression was a little excited: "I haven't been back for many years, I didn't expect the road to be easier than the original!" ”

"It's still so far away....... Chen Qiuyan frowned: "You can only get to Mao'er Village at night, it's a bit risky." ”

"It's fine." As I spoke, I slapped my duffel bag twice and woke up the rat sleeping in the bag.

This little guy seems to never get enough sleep, and as soon as he came out of the store with us, he directly entered the false hibernation mode, even if the old bald trouble came to the door, it did not mean to wake up.

Only if we take the initiative to wake it up will this mouse open its eyes......

"You're not a pig, you sleep so long to raise meat?" I said funny, peeled a ham sausage for the rat, and handed it to him: "Come with us, if you get into trouble, I tell you to make a move, understand?" ”

The rat squeaked, held the ham sausage in both hands, gnawed sleepily, and yawned from time to time.

Old man Zheng led the way in front of him, and asked me without looking back: "Can this mouse be against those beasts?" ”

"It should be." I said truthfully: "They have just become beasts, they are not really wronged, and their bodies still retain the characteristics of living people, so it is impossible to resist poison, not to mention that the poison of rats is not ordinary poison, it is evil qi at work......"

"Evil?"

"Yes, don't say it's a living thing, even if an ordinary yin spirit bites a rat, it may also be gone." I shrugged my shoulders: "I haven't seen it, but I heard my grandfather say that the teeth of a rat are like a mad dog, and they can bite the soul." ”

"Hey! Old Shen! Mad dogs can bite souls? If you bite someone, can you also hurt the soul of the living? Qibao chatted with me with great interest: "Rabies is the sequelae of soul injury, right?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." I laughed and said, "This is not the same thing at all, the soul of a living person is full of life, and it is impossible for a living thing to bite it, only the yin soul that comes out of death will be bitten ......"

At this moment, in the bushes in front of him, there was a sudden sound of a stalk, as if something was moving inside.

It was about 20 meters away from us, not too close, and the outer bushes were too dense so we couldn't see what was going on inside.

I turned my head sideways and poked the white belly of the rat with my hand: "Brother Yuan, are you going to take a look?" ”

Hearing my request, the rat shook his head very dryly, and continued to nibble on the ham sausage in his hand, ignoring me at all.

"I said yes."

Without waiting for the rat to react, I grabbed it and threw it straight at the bush.

The chubby squirrel, screaming, drew a perfect arc in the air.

About ten meters from the bushes, it fell, and turned back to me in a huff.

"If you want to eat well, be obedient! If you can't deal with what's in there! You're back! ”

I beckoned to it: "Brother Mouse, I believe you!" Let's go! ”
