Chapter Eighty-Four: Homecoming
The old man smiled when he heard San'er's words: "Junior, what I know, you can't hear it yet, after a long time through the mountains and rivers, you will know", San'er listened to the old man's words and already understood the meaning, nodded and stopped talking, Zhang Renshan listened to the confusion on the side, looked as if he understood something, San'er opened his mouth and asked: "No...... What the hell are you talking about? I didn't understand anything! What a long time in the mountains and rivers! San'er, tell me what you talked about! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan, who was curious, and didn't say anything else, but told him not to ask in detail, and he would know later, so he followed the old man and continued to move forward, Zhang Renshan saw that neither of them told him, he was actually very unconvinced, but there was no way, who didn't let himself understand, shook his head, and followed behind San'er, and walked forward with the old man, the mountains and rocks were winding around each other, shuttling through the forest, the mountain streams went down the mountain, the sound of gurgling water drifted with the breeze in the forest, the air was faintly audible, and the weeds were lush and the mountains and trees became fewer, The three of them walked to a relatively open place, the old man stopped, turned around and looked at San'er and Zhang Renshan and said: "The old man is sent here, you can walk out of this mountain forest by walking a little ahead, and when the time comes, you can naturally find a way to go home", San'er and Zhang Renshan suddenly heard the old man say this and wanted to say thank you, but they saw that the old man disappeared in a blink of an eye, San'er was not very surprised, after all, such a thing happened in the cabin before, But Zhang Renshan was different, he was frightened for the first time, and he was stunned on the spot for a long time, and he didn't say anything for a long time, San'er patted Zhang Renshan's shoulder and said, "Okay!" Don't look at that old man's gone! Ay...... It's a pity that I don't know the name of this elder yet, and I wanted to thank him in person in the future! After listening to San'er's words, Zhang Renshan looked at him with surprised eyes and said, "No...... San'er's old man...... Don't you feel it? He...... He...... It's gone! Gone! It can't be a youkai, right!? San'er shook his head and said, "Okay, don't think about it, if people change something, we won't be eaten long ago and still live until now!" Besides, our lives are still saved! Let's go! It's important to hurry! I guess it's going to be a mess at home right now! Zhang Renshan was speechless by San'er's speechlessness and wanted to refute but had nothing to say, so he nodded and followed San'er and began to walk forward, the two walked on the grass for a while, and a muddy road suddenly appeared in front of the two, San'er looked at the water on the road and obviously did not dry out, that is to say, this place must have had a heavy rain before, San'er recalled the situation when he escaped from the cave before: "At that time, the sky was overcast and rainy, and now there is a small amount of water in the mud puddle on the ground, It seems that Zhang Renshan and I should not have been in a coma for too long, but at the front and back of this road, which side is the way home? San'er was thinking about which way to go, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming in the distance, San'er hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Renshan, and the two of them stood on both sides of the road, so as not to hurt Zhang Renshan and himself in the fast horse galloping to avoid it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of the fast horse came to the front in an instant, and San'er looked up and saw that it was the carriage of the Xiao family, and the coachman on it also knew Wang Dechuan, nicknamed Xiao Dezi, who was a servant bought by the Xiao family since he was a child to manage the carriage for travel, I don't know why he drove to such a remote place today? San'er hurriedly shouted from the road, Xiao Dezi was driving the carriage only when he heard someone shouting on the side of the road, and he quickly turned his head to look, only to see two people in ragged clothes standing on the side of the road, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he heard one of them shout again: "Little Dezi!" Don't stop yet! As soon as Xiao Dezi heard that this person knew himself, he hurriedly grabbed the reins in his hand and drove the horse away, and then turned around to look at the two people standing on the side of the road, and looked carefully for a long time before he saw the appearance clearly and hurriedly said: "Yo! Isn't this the Zhang family's housekeeper! How...... Are you on a robbery? San'er didn't open his mouth vaguely and said: "Ah! It's a bit of a thing, but you're not worried about robbing the road, where are you going, little Dezi? After hearing this, Xiao Dezi blinked and replied, "Alas! Isn't it! Our young lady asked me to go to the county pharmacy to get some medicinal herbs, and I just came back! Isn't it what the hell is going on with your outfit? And who's that guy next to you? San'er wanted to tell Xiao Dezi about the cause and effect, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate, so he simply made up a reason and said: "Uh...... Isn't this going up the mountain? Unfortunately, I got lost and tossed a few times, so I got out of the mountains and forests, I ...... with us" San'er's words were not finished, Zhang Renshan directly interrupted, changed his voice, and said: "And ...... We...... Our family! When San'er saw Zhang Renshan talking like this, he wanted to ask him the reason, but when he saw Zhang Renshan turn his face around, he already understood seven or eight points in his heart, he was afraid that Xiao Lingling would know that he was coming to laugh at him, San'er shook his head helplessly, and continued to say to Xiao Dezi: "Ah! This is our family, uh...... Puppy! He went into the mountains with me! As soon as Xiao Dezi heard that this was the case, he didn't ask in detail, and when he saw the two of them, he should have wanted to get out of the car, and waved without saying a word: "Come on!" Housekeeper get in the car! Just as I'm going back to the shop! Way! Come up on that puppy, too! Your master is done! Zhang Renshan was so angry after listening to Xiao Dezi's words! It is clear that he is the master and the third son is the servant, but who can't afford to lose this person! can only follow San'er without saying a word and turned over to the carriage transporting goods, Xiao Dezi turned around and looked at San'er and Zhang Renshan sitting in the carriage and said sit down, and the carriage began to run on the road again, there was still water on the road, the road was slippery and muddy, and the carriage was splashing a lot of mud flowers, San'er sat a little further inside, so it didn't matter, so Zhang Renshan in order not to let Xiao Dezi see his face clearly, almost half of his body was exposed outside the carriage, The whole back of Zhang Renshan, who was splashing up in the muddy water, was fast, and the carriage was fast, and as soon as the wind blew, the mud spots that splashed on Zhang Renshan's back were quickly dried up, the left and the right were as if a picture was painted on the clothes, Zhang Renshan himself didn't care very much, after all, the clothes on his body were torn and couldn't be broken, what if he splashed some mud, San'er sat behind Xiao Dezi and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.
On this trip to the cave, he and Zhang Renshan almost died in their lives, but they were blessed by immortals to escape from death, but why is this? First of all, the gossip in the river is circling the ring, although it took a lot of effort to dissolve it, but the person who put down the formation can be regarded as the best in the world, after all, there is nothing else to use in the river except for the dry grass and reeds, or the gravel and mud, and then there is the mysterious thing next to the broken stump that can make people angry, as well as the black objects that suddenly appeared in the river and the voice of the female ghost, are these all those people doing? If this is the case, the people with broken horns and unicorns are too terrible, and why do people with broken horns and unicorns build such a tunnel in the cellar of their homes? Could it be just to steal those two pills that I don't know what they were for, but since they came for the pills, why didn't they steal them for a long time? Those people will not understand the truth of Chi Zesheng, Li Fang's words before he went crazy are also very intriguing, what is "It's useless to come now", why is it useless? It's the people who break the horn unicorn who don't want it anymore, and what happened to "something happened to Xihe that night"? It's just that the crooked-necked tree fell? It shouldn't be like this, what Li Fang said may not be referring to this matter, but what could it be? "They" Li Fang mentioned "they" should be the Broken Horned Qilin, but the wounds on Li Fang's body seen at that time were obviously fierce fights with some people before, could it be that the people of the Broken Horned Qilin moved their murderous intentions in order to extinguish the mouth, but at that time, Zhang Renshan and I thought about it, if we wanted to kill the mouth, we would have done it a long time ago, why would we poison Li Fang crazy? Could it be that Li Fang killed the people who came to exterminate him! But why did he continue to ask us for those two pills? What is the reason for this? San'er looked at the dense woods in the distance and began to search up and down every thing he had encountered since he came out that night, the road to the cave was opened in the underground house where Li Fang was staying, that is to say, it was very likely that those people dug it out, but where did the earth dragon come from? If there was really this thing under our house, it would have collapsed a long time ago, but now it seems that the earth dragon should have just been drilled into the tunnel not long ago, according to Li Fang's words, "the people who went did not come back", that is to show that the people with broken horns and unicorns have no way to take this earth dragon, but the wood carving in the cave should be carved is the scene of the earth dragon swallowing people, that is to say, the carving person once witnessed the scene of the earth dragon eating people, and then carved it out and put it in the underground river water and tied it with iron chains, but for what? There is also the strange white bones in the underground pit, who piled them up, if you want to say that the person with the broken horn unicorn did it, it must have been some years to see the appearance of the white bones, it shouldn't be done recently, unless those people came to this Qingshuipu a long time ago to take root, but that is impossible at all! How did they know that our family would receive such a copper tripod containing two unknown pills in the future, if the people with broken horns and unicorns knew that the copper tripod was accepted by the Zhang family, how could they let it flow into the Zhang family's compound, and they had to get it in their hands early, San'er shook his head to dispel this wrong thought, and began to think carefully again, it seems that Zhang Renshan and I should have walked far underground, and this should be near the mountain behind Qingshuipu, after all, the road to the county seat is only from here, But according to the way I walked at that time, Zhang Renshan and I should not have come to this back mountain! Could it be that you are lost in the cave, and there is only this possibility, the cave in the underground is really vast and boundless, and there are even waterfalls, but unfortunately there is no time to watch at that time, after all, the dragon is chasing tightly, but it is finally out, right! And that strange old man! It must be some kind of spirit in this mountain! But why did it save itself and Zhang Renshan? San'er really can't figure it out. There were too many things to experience since he came out that night, and the fog in front of him became thicker with the development of events, and San'er looked at the front of the carriage, and it was clear that there was still some way to go.
The bumps continued, San'er turned around and looked at Zhang Renshan, who was sitting on the side of the carriage and twisting his head to look elsewhere, he wanted to say a few words to him, but he was afraid that Xiao Dezi would hear Zhang Renshan's voice, so he had to give up, turned his head to the side, and continued to look at the weeds on both sides of the road, thinking about what happened before, Xiao Dezi drove the carriage, his eyes were staring at the road in front of him, after all, the rain had just passed, and potholes were inevitable on the ground, in case the carriage accidentally fell into the mud puddle, it would be difficult to push it out. Zhang Renshan's face has been pinned to the back of the carriage, he is afraid that Xiao Dezi will inadvertently turn around and recognize himself, and when the time comes, it will reach Xiao Lingling's ears and be laughed at by her, San'er leaned on the baffle on the side of the carriage and looked at the mountain peak when he got out of trouble, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be a person waving at him in the faint mountain forest, San'er hurriedly widened his eyes and looked carefully at the person who looked like the old man who had sent them out before, and was waving his hand to look at them, San'er hurriedly waved his hand and saluted, I was about to take a closer look, but I saw that the people in the mountains and forests couldn't see it anymore, San'er didn't say anything else, after all, I couldn't tell whether I saw it or not, it should be a tribute to my life-saving benefactor! The carriage went for a while, Xiao Dezi suddenly stopped, San'er hurriedly turned around and asked the reason for stopping, Xiao Dezi smiled and said: "That San'er housekeeper, isn't this a person who has three urgency!" Excuse me for a while, and we'll hit the road right away! San'er nodded, you don't allow people to go, after all, you are an outsider, and you are still in someone's carriage, Xiao Dezi saw that San'er agreed, and quickly turned around and got into the grass next to the road, Zhang Renshan heard that Xiao Dezi was gone, then he turned his face, rubbed his neck with his hand, and said to himself: "Oops! Fuck it! It can make Lao Tzu's neck sore! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and rubbed his neck vigorously and felt funny, Zhang Renshan looked at San'er sitting opposite and covered his mouth and had fun, and there was no way to take him, who let himself die to save face and suffer from it! The two of them were talking while waiting for Xiao Dezi to come back, but after a long time, they didn't see Xiao Dezi emerge from the grass on the side of the road, San'er only felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly called Zhang Renshan, who was laughing and talking with him, and said, "Xian'er, can you use it for so long?" After listening to San'er's words, Zhang Renshan immediately understood the meaning and nodded, and the two of them turned over and jumped off the carriage...... (To be continued.) )
