Chapter 338: This is fate

I didn't move the bird's nest, but I slipped down from the tree in despair, and after two circles around the tree, I asked Qiangshun, "What are you looking for?" I looked at him and asked, "What about the snake?" ”

Qiang Shun looked dazed and said, "Isn't the snake still on the tree?" ”

I said, "I knocked it off the tree, don't you see it down there?" ”

Qiang Shun said, "I saw you knock down a branch from a tree. ”

"Twigs?" I was a little confused.

Qiang Shun raised his hand and pointed at my feet, "That's not at your feet, it's that." ”

I looked down and saw at my feet a thumb-thick branch, about a foot long, with a few leaves on it, all fresh, as if they had just been broken off from the tree.

I was even more confused, this is too wrong, what I knocked down just now was obviously a snake, I asked Qiang Shun again: "Do you see clearly, is it really this branch that I knocked down?" ”

Qiang Shun said firmly: "You must have seen it clearly, it is this branch that you knocked down!" ”

When I heard Qiang Shun say this, I was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that it was not good, and hurriedly greeted Qiang Shun, "Let's go, shout Xiaoqing Xinjian, the bird is not caught." ”

When Qiang Shun heard this, he didn't understand why I was doing, so he asked reluctantly: "Why, then don't you take us to Li Fang's house anymore?" ”

"You're still ......"

"Yellow River, come on, come and see......"

As soon as I spoke, Xiaoqing's shout suddenly came from the tree not far away, and I was shocked when I heard Xiaoqing's shout, and swallowed back what I was going to say, and hurriedly turned my head to look at Xiaoqing's tree, and saw Xiaoqing waving at us on the tree, shouting: "Yellow River, come and see, catch one, catch one......"

Caught one? Not only was I not very happy, but I was a little worried. The snake can turn into a branch just now, will the bird become a snake at this time, and will Xiaoqing and Xinjian be in danger? I hurriedly reached out and grabbed Qiangshun, and ran towards Xiaoqing and their tree together.

By the time we ran to the bottom of the tree, Xinjian had already come down from the tree, and Xiaoqing was still halfway up the tree because he was holding a bird in his hand.

Seeing that I came to the bottom of the tree, Xiao Qing stopped with his arms around the trunk, looked proud, and shook the bird in his hand at me as if showing off, "You didn't catch it, let's catch it." ”

I was even more worried, just about to shout to him, you hurry down, the bird doesn't want it, but before the words came out, I saw a large leaf above Xiaoqing's head "fluttering" and shaking, followed by, from under the leaves flew out a big bird smaller than the pigeon, although it was dark at this time, but I could still see the colorful feathers on the bird, this kind of bird we all know, woodpecker.

I hurriedly asked Xiaoqing, "What kind of bird are you catching?" ”

Xiaoqing replied: "Nag Shu Bangbang." ”

"Talking trees and bangbang" is our local dialect here, that is, woodpecker. As soon as I heard it, isn't this a death, why did I dig out this kind of bird, I don't know about woodpeckers in other places, our woodpeckers here are particularly fierce, small body and big wings, small head and long mouth, give it a bloody flow, no bird can play with this bird, but they don't live in a nest made of branches, they live in a tree hole, that is, a black hole in the tree to live in.

I remember that this tree is obviously a bird's nest, why did they take out a "tree Bangbang"?

At this time, I didn't have time to think about this, so I shouted at Xiaoqing again: "Come down, there is a big bird!" ”

The words did not fall, the woodpecker swooped down on Xiaoqing's head, Xiaoqing hurriedly blocked it with his arm, the woodpecker fluttered and did not talk to Xiaoqing, but it did not give up, after flying around the tree, it swooped down again, Xiaoqing had already climbed down again with the trunk at this time, and saw the woodpecker rushing towards him again, waving the hand that grabbed the chick and beating it, and the woodpecker drove him away again, but this is not a long-term solution, the woodpecker flew in a circle above his head and could nag him again at any time.

I saw that this was not good, and looked around, there were a lot of large and small stones on the ground, and hurriedly greeted Qiangshun Xinjian, don't stand stupidly and watch, pick up stones and smash the bird, you have to pay attention when you smash it, but don't smash Xiaoqing.

The three of us picked up the stone at our feet and threw it at the woodpecker, because the bird was above Xiaoqing's head and Xiaoqing was below.

Seeing that Xiaoqing was about to slip down from the tree, Xinjian on my left screamed "ah", I was startled, turned my head to look, and saw that Xinjian was actually holding a snake in his hand, and Xinjian threw it to the ground as fast as he could.

At this time, Xiao Qing slipped out of the tree without danger, and I didn't have time to look at the big bird anymore, so I hurriedly asked Xinjian: "Why did you catch a snake?" ”

Xinjian's face was pale at this time, and he usually didn't talk much, but he couldn't speak at this time, he took a few breaths before he said: "I grabbed a stone, and before I threw it, the stone turned into a snake." ”

As soon as Xinjian said this, the three of us looked at each other, looked down on the ground to find the snake, and it was gone, and then looked up at the bird in the sky, and it was also gone.

My heart sank, this place must not stay any longer, I have to leave quickly, thinking of this, I subconsciously glanced at Xiaoqing's hands, and saw that his two hands were empty, and hurriedly asked: "Xiaoqing, where is the bird in your hand?" ”

Xiao Qing looked at his hand, there was only one bird feather left, Xiao Qing showed a stunned face and said: "It's always been in my hand, why is there a single feather left?" As he spoke, Xiaoqing lowered his head and looked near him, and immediately jumped up, "Where is it, where is it, chase it!" ”

I saw that three or four meters away from Xiaoqing's body, there was a woodpecker's chick squatting, its wings had not yet grown, and it seemed that it couldn't fly.

The snake can turn into a branch, the stone can become a snake, the bird in the hand becomes a bird feather, and now, since this chick ran out of Xiaoqing's hand, why don't you run directly, and wait for us to chase it before running? There was clearly something strange here, and I hurriedly shouted at Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, stop chasing, go back." ”

Xiao Qingtou didn't reply and said, "Let's say okay, catch the bird and take us to Li Fang's house......"

Mother, what a hero, angry and red-faced, what a bone is this, remember this stubble.

Xinjian was obviously frightened at this time, and stood motionless in place, but as soon as Qiang Shun turned around, Sa Yazi also chased after him.

I couldn't stop it, so I finally pulled Xinjian and said, "Xinjian, follow me to chase Xiaoqing Qiangshun back, something is wrong here." ”

Xinjian said stupidly: "It's not wrong, it's too wrong." ”

The chick ran very fast in the grass, and from side to side, but on the whole it ran towards the north, that is to say, the farther away from where we lived, and the more desolate it became.

At that time, I was the champion of the long and sprint in the school, and the physical education teacher often praised me for my good physical coordination and explosive power, although it was a bit difficult to chase the bird, it was more than enough to chase Xiaoqing and the two of them.

After a while, I grabbed Xiao Qing, who was running in front, and said to him with a snort: "Don't catch it, go back, I, I'll take you to Li Fang's house." ”

Xiaoqing gasped and asked me, "Really?" ”

Before I could answer, Qiang Shun ran past us with a loud voice, this bear child, Xiaoqing was angry, what are you trying to do if you kid is so positive. I turned my head and shouted at his back: "Qiang Shun, come back, if you don't come back, I won't ask you to go to Li Fang's house." ”

Qiang Shun immediately stopped, looked back at me, and then turned back. At this time, Xinjian also chased after him from behind, gasping for breath and said to me and Xiaoqing, "Are we lost?" ”

I glanced at him, then turned my head to look around, and suddenly goosebumps appeared on my body, and I saw how strange and strange these things around me were, although it was still a mountain, although it was still grass, but we didn't run far, why were those trees gone, and how did it not look like the white soil mountain before.

Qiang Shun also came to us at this time, and Qiang Shun said to me: "Huanghe, why do I think something is wrong?" ”

I glanced at him and said, "I realized that something was wrong, I had already said that something was wrong, and I told you to go back with me." ”

"Aren't we here to catch birds for you?" Qiang Shun said.

"You are still catching birds, you are here to go to Li Fang's house, what is good about her family...... Forget it. I looked around again and said to the three of them, "Look at the mountains here, they don't look like the white earth mountains at all, like this, either we have lost our minds to something, or we have met a ghost." "Ghost blinding, is our saying here, I mentioned it a long time ago, that is, "ghosts hit the wall".

When Xiaoqing and Xinjian heard me say this, their faces immediately turned white. After Xiao Qing looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, he asked me in a trembling voice: "Huang He, I haven't seen a ghost since I was a child, and my family has never seen a ghost, and I haven't met a ghost. ”

I looked at him and said, "That's fate." ”

"What do you mean?"

I explained, "My grandmother said that our family is doing this, and if I don't encounter this kind of thing, can I let others encounter it?" We encounter them because it's our time to deal with them, you know? ”

Xiaoqing shook his head, "I don't understand, I still don't understand." ”

I repeated what I had just said, "This is fate." ”

This is fate, in fact, I didn't know much at the time, but, since our new house happened to be built in the center of the trapped ghost array in the past (trapped ghost array, look back at "Chapter 128"), I believe that this is fate, some things, others may not encounter once in a lifetime, we may meet once in a month, or even a few days, why, because it should be you to meet, because it should be you to deal with it, who told you to learn, who told you to learn. I was born to be useful, and someone has already arranged it for you, and this is your life. I'll give you an example, if I didn't go with me that time to catch a birdie in Baitu Mountain, there is an 80% chance that the three of them won't be able to meet this kind of thing, unless the three of them are extremely lucky that day. Therefore, people like us have a lot of friends on the surface, but they have very few friends in reality, because they have more contact with us, which will affect them to some extent.

To get back to the point, the little bird is not in the mood to catch it anymore, it's the right thing to find a way to leave, and I have to stabilize Xiaoqing and Xinjian first, they might as well be Qiang Shun for this kind of thing, they haven't encountered it, and they must be scared to death. The most taboo thing to encounter this kind of thing is to mess with yourself, the more you are afraid, the more you are in chaos, those things will take advantage of the void.

I said to the two of them, "Don't be afraid, it's easy to fool around, I'll tell you a simple way now, and you will do it......"
