Chapter 1000 Overnight in a deserted village
"Wormwood powder?" Tianchu was also startled, looked down at the ground, and found that there were traces of wormwood powder sprinkled everywhere on the village road.
"Crack!" Duo Ling shouted as she walked, rubbing her feet against the ground.
Sure enough, the ground under the floating soil was full of cracks, and this looked like the ground arched by puppet insects.
But why is there wormwood powder?
At the beginning of the day, it must have been Yun Zhen and they passed by, but according to the time calculation, the worm mother had died a few days ago, and when Yun Zhen and they passed here, the puppet insects were gone, since there were no more, what were they doing with wormwood powder?
"I think Senior Brother Yunzhen, they may not know that the worm mother is dead, so they will spread it when they see the village, right?" Mercy Star guessed.
"Nonsense, why didn't there be one in the village before?" Bai Yue immediately retorted, she almost believed it at the beginning of the day, but now she was stunned again.
"Oh, whatever, anyway, we know that Yun Zhen and they have been here, which means that we are taking the same route with them, and there is a village after two mountains, if not, we will go there and inquire again." Bai Ji suggested.
"Bai Ji is right, anyway, the puppet worms are gone, wormwood powder is already useless, Yun Zhen and they can spread as much as they want, let's catch up with them as soon as possible." Tianchu agreed with Bai Ji's statement.
When everyone came to the small village, it was already completely dark, and the small village under the moonlight was pitch black, and not a single light was on, and it was obvious that there was no one in the village.
In fact, seeing this scene, everyone was not too surprised in their hearts, they had already been mentally prepared before coming, after all, they already knew that the puppet worm had spread here, and it was not surprising what kind of situation appeared.
It's just that at the beginning of the day, I regretted that I started too late, and let so many people suffer, and I couldn't help but feel depressed when I saw this scene.
Although there was no one to ask in the village, everyone still led the horses into the village, and it was better to spend the night in the village than in the mountains and forests.
They found a relatively spacious house, tied their horses to the stables on the edge of the house, and when they pushed the door in, they were greeted by a warm breath, which seemed to be mixed with the smell of food.
"Anyone?" Tianchu suddenly felt abrupt, stepped back, and asked tentatively.
After a while, there was no response in the house, and Tianchu knocked on the door again, raised his voice and asked again: "Is there anyone at home?" We are Taoist priests from Youfang, passing by Guibao Land and looking for a place to rest, is it convenient for the head of the family? ”
Tian Chu listened to the movement in the house, and it was surprisingly quiet.
Tianchu gave everyone a look, tiptoed in, everyone followed behind, the atmosphere did not dare to come out, one by one, for fear of hitting something, and then wake up some terrible monster.
"Gah-" Tianchu accidentally stepped on something, and let out an abrupt screeching sound, which scared the poor star into a loud scream.
The cry of Pixing almost broke Bai Ji's tight heartstrings, and I saw him stretching out his arms and kicking his legs, beating all the time with his eyes closed, and shouting in his mouth: "Don't come here!" Stay back! I'll beat you to death! ”
However, nothing appeared in this room, everyone just watched Bai Ji's performance quietly, Tianchu pounced on Bai Ji's shoulder, but before the words were spoken, Bai Ji turned around and punched Tianchu to face the door, and Tianchu, who was blind to the black light, didn't see it clearly, and didn't expect Bai Ji to move so fast, but he didn't dodge, and this punch directly knocked him out.
After Tianchu fell to the ground, another sound of falling to the ground was heard in a trance, and then a loud shout from Duo Ling came: "You also beat Tianchu?" ”
When he opened his eyes again at the beginning of the day, in addition to the swelling pain in his nose, he saw the warm candlelight and smelled the aroma of food.
His body was covered with a soft quilt, and the warm and comfortable feeling made him a little trance, was this a dream?
"Ouch!" There was a miserable moan in his ears, which startled Tianchu, and when he turned his head, he saw a bloodshot eye that was swollen like a purple steamed bun staring at him, and Tianchu sat up in fright.
"Master Tianchu, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to beat you, you see, I was also punished, don't blame me, okay?" Bai Ji had black eyes and blue eyes, and wanted to apologize to Tianchu without tears.
At the beginning of the day, he came back to his senses, touched his swollen nose, and the stinging pain came, and he suddenly woke up.
"Your eyes, this is ...... Duo Ling hit it, right? ”
"Who called me?"
As soon as Bai Ji opened his mouth, Duo Ling swaggered in, and glanced at Bai Ji, Bai Ji couldn't help but tremble all over his body, and shrank into the quilt.
Duo Ling sat down on the edge of the bed, tilted her head for a while, and chewed something, smug and smug, her calves kicking wildly.
"Duoling, what are you eating?" Tian Chu said curiously.
"Beanie!" Duo Ling stretched out her little hand, revealing a handful of fried beans that were a little mushy, and proudly showed it to Tianchu.
"Where did it come from?" Tianchu was surprised, and stretched out his hand to take a look, he was really afraid that Duo Ling would eat indiscriminately and spoil his stomach.
Duo Ling thought that Tianchu was going to grab beans from her to eat, and immediately retracted her hand with an apricot eye, and Tianchu had to retract her hand in embarrassment.
"No, I'm just ......" Tianchu understood it, Bai Ji thought he was robbing the child to eat, so he quickly explained, but was interrupted by Bai Yue.
"Here comes the meal!" A burst of fragrance hit, and immediately attracted the attention of Tianchu and Bai Ji.
I saw Bai Yue and Lian Xing, one of them holding a square plate, which contained steaming food, and saw that Tianchu and Bai Ji were flooding with saliva, and their index fingers moved.
"Where did it come from?" Tianchu lifted up the futon and threw it behind him, vacating the place to put the plates, and asked impatiently.
"Of course it's left in this house, there are rice and noodles, there are vegetables in the garden, when I cook, the soup left in the pot still has residual warmth, do you think it's strange?" Bai Yue said as she set the bowl.
Bai Yue's craftsmanship is good, although the materials are simple, but the food made is really attractive, so that Tianchu didn't listen to Bai Yue's words at all, and directly picked up the chopsticks and ate it.
The people who have been sleeping in the open for many days have finally eaten a hot meal, and the satisfaction is simply better than eating a big meal in a restaurant.
After eating and drinking, sleepiness hit, and almost didn't say anything, Bai Yue took Lian Xing and Duo Ling to the West House, Tian Chu and Bai Ji were in the East House, and it didn't take long for the lights in both rooms to blow.
Because the puppet worm is gone, everyone can sleep so peacefully.
But they could not have imagined that something was coming towards them under the house where they lived.
