Chapter 34: The Mysterious Man

Liu'er's mouth bit my hand hard, and her body kept writhing to break free from my grip, I looked around vigilantly, and quickly took Liu'er out of the room.

In front of Liu'er's house is a slope, and under the slope is a grass with more than one person. I almost lifted Liu Er off the ground and hid in the grass.

"Liu'er, calm down. Don't bark. If we are exposed, even if your grandfather dies in vain, there will be no one to collect the body when he dies. I shouted. The voice was mixed with the calming Buddha thoughts.

Liu Er nodded at me with teary eyes, I slowly let go of the hand covering Liu Er's mouth, in the end, it was a little girl, the tragic death of her relatives, she was already scared of the six gods. His whole body trembled, and his teeth bit his lip tightly, not allowing himself to make a sound.

I couldn't bear it, so I took Liu'er into my arms and patted her on the back, and asked, "Liu'er, has your grandfather offended anyone?" ”

Liu Er shook her head and said intermittently: "I have lived with my grandfather in the mountains since I was a child, and I can't touch people at all except for using my prey to go to the town to exchange for some daily necessities." ”

I frowned slightly, Grandpa Liu'er's death was quite weird. It should have been caused by insects burrowing out of the body and being hurt to death.

What is the reason why a person can torture an old man so much?

Just as I was thinking about it, there seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps, and I quickly covered Liu'er's mouth again, and put my index finger on the side of my mouth to make a silent gesture towards Liu'er.

"Huh? How did the door open? Could it be that the girl doll is back? A woman's suspicious voice rang out.

Then a deep male voice said: "Go in and see, it's just a little girl, and you can't escape from our palms." ”

After rummaging for a while, the woman said, "Could it be that this little girl saw her grandfather dead, and then ran away?" ”

The man smiled: "When an ordinary little girl sees such a scene, she is afraid that she can't walk on the road, and she only knows how to cry vigorously, where can she run?" We split up to look for it, and it must have been hiding nearby. ”

"You're right, if we return empty-handed this time, I'm afraid the helmsman won't let us go." The woman's voice trembled a little as she replied. It seems that this helmsman is a demon who can eat people.

As soon as I heard that the secret way was not good, I asked the Buddha to quietly go out and make some noise, so as to distract the attention of the two.

I listened carefully to the footsteps of the two, and made sure that the two of them were far away, and then picked up the willow with weak legs and ran to the opposite dense forest.

I don't know how long I ran before I found a cave. I went to see first, and made sure that there were no wild beasts, so I carried Liu'er in, and took some weeds at the entrance of the cave to cover up.

I was afraid that the fire would be too visible in the dark night, so I didn't raise the firewood. Liu Er's body was still trembling, her whole body leaned softly on me, and she choked up: "Brother Fengzi, grandpa is dead." I won't have a home anymore. No one will love me or love me anymore. ”

The women I have come into contact with since I was a child have been few other than Fei Fei in the village. So it's really a headache for how to coax girls. It's even more difficult than reading Buddhist scriptures.

I asked curiously, "What about your parents?" ”

It's better not to ask, but when I ask Liu'er, my crying gets heavier, and after a while I feel that the clothes on my shoulders are already wet.

After a long time, Liu Er choked up and said: "I don't know, grandpa never told me about my father and mother, every time I asked him, he sighed vigorously, so I didn't dare to ask." Although I don't have a mom or dad, my grandfather loves me very much and buys me new clothes and flower dresses. Grandpa can always buy me as long as I want. ”

Xu recalled happiness, and Liu Er's eyes revealed a sweet brightness. The light still shines in the cave in the dark night.

"Your grandfather is so rich?" I was born in the countryside since I was a child, so I naturally know that money is not easy to come by. Not to mention the old man living in the mountains. What does he do to make money?

Liu Er said with pride in her tone: "Grandpa is amazing." Where there are treasures in the mountains, he can always find them, what wild ginseng, black fox skin, etc., it is accurate to find one. The price of a wild ginseng is enough for us to live for a long time. ”

I asked, "And to whom are these things sold?" ”

"Uncle Guan in the town specializes in receiving my grandfather's goods, but Uncle Guan is a good person, he ......." Although Liu Er is young, he is also smart, and he quickly understood the meaning of my words. Shaking his head and saying it couldn't be.

I asked, "Then what treasures does your grandfather have, especially valuable?" ”

Liu Er thought for a moment, then shook her head.

Then I wondered, if it wasn't for money, then for what? Judging from the conversation between the man and woman in the room earlier, it seems that their target is Liu'er?

Although it was a cave where I couldn't see my fingers, I still looked carefully in the direction of Liu'er. Liu Er is only twelve or thirteen years old, she looks good, she is a beautiful embryo at first glance. It's definitely amazing when you grow up.

It's just that there are tens of thousands of people in the world, and there are countless beauties. Beauty alone doesn't seem to be a motive, right?

"Kiln ......"

There was a movement at the entrance of the cave, and I took Liu'er behind me and stared at the entrance of the cave vigilantly. It wasn't until a soft mass rushed into my arms that I was relieved. Touching the hair of the Buddha's palm, he asked in a low voice, "Did those people find you?" ”

The Buddha's palm squeaked a few times, indicating that it had not been discovered. Then he snuggled up in my arms and slept.

I gently put the Buddha palm into Liu'er's arms and said, "You help me take care of it." I went to the entrance of the cave and guarded it. ”

Liu Er pulled the corner of my clothes and said, "Brother Fengzi, I'm scared alone." ”

So I went to the entrance of the cave and set up a simple mechanism, and strung a string of bells with wires across the entrance of the cave, so that if someone came in, it would have a wake-up effect. Then he returned to Liu Er's side and asked, "Those bad guys seem to be looking for something, and it is estimated that the gang will not leave for a while." What to do with your grandfather's corpse? ”

Liu Er is from the girl's family in the end, wiping her tears and shaking her head. I thought for a while and said, "Your wooden house is probably uninhabitable, and I will secretly go and set the house on fire tomorrow, which can be regarded as cremation for your grandfather." ”

Liu Er originally wanted to let her grandfather settle in the ground, but what she thought of in her mind was her grandfather's scarred body and the constantly wriggling insects, so she nodded silently and said, "Brother Fengzi, can I go with you tomorrow?" I'm going to take my grandfather's ashes with me. ”

Liu Er's voice was soft and weak, I couldn't bear to refuse, and said, "Okay." Tomorrow, I'll let the Buddha go and find out the situation first. Try to get you to drop off your grandfather for the last ride. ”

Liu Er said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Fengzi." ”
