Flocks of egrets flew around the tree, singing beautiful songs in their mouths and spreading their silvery wings on their arms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info coiled around the thick fluffy leaves and drew an elliptical circle of mist.

A bright and dazzling light shot out from within the circle, reflecting on the vest of the old man in white. The surrounding lawn also became withered and yellowed at this moment.

"One blood a day, one gold a day. Exchange blood for gold, bliss! ”

As the mysterious words of the old man in white fell, the sky gradually darkened. Every grass and tree in all directions was covered in darkness, and the bright moonlight shining from the clouds slowly dissipated.

He Wei's eyes were suddenly dark, and even if he raised his hands high, he couldn't see his extraordinarily rough fingers in his vision. He deliberately forced himself to hold his breath, trying to calm the cold heart in his body. Estimating the distance between him and the old man, he subconsciously moved ten steps forward.

When He Wei subconsciously felt that he was about to approach the old man's body, he suddenly stopped. With a trembling mouth, he asked, "Uncle? Are you still there? ”

A cool breeze suddenly hit the face, and no one responded in front of him. Except for the faint sound of egrets coming from above from time to time, there is no wind or grass nearby.

He Wei reached out and wiped the cold sweat that spread from his forehead to his chin, clenched his fists and continued to take a few steps forward. When he reached the fifth step, he could clearly feel the soles of his feet stepping into the grass, a soft patch under the insole, and the wet dew continued to seep into his feet.

There was a sudden "buzzing" sound overhead, as if countless pairs of wings were flapping rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, as if all the living beings in the vicinity had fallen asleep, and everything seemed so peaceful.

The more He Wei walked forward, the more he felt that his body was very heavy, as if a huge rock had pressed on his back. As a result, his legs could not move an inch, and with each step, he could feel a deep footprint on the soft soil.

Suddenly, a bright gap appeared between the clouds, shining straight into the grass. The light spread as it spread beneath the giant tree.

He Wei felt a faint light in front of him hitting his face, he subconsciously slowly raised his neck and glanced up, and the scene in front of him made him suddenly feel a faint pain in his throat.

I saw countless bloody corpses hanging from the withered yellow branches, their faces unrecognizable, and their bodies were extremely stiff. Judging from the way they dressed, there were men and women, and they didn't seem to be very old, the oldest was only seventeen or eighteen, but the youngest looked less than ten years old.

They all had a deep red scar on their wrists, and a long, thin hemp rope hung their necks upside down in the center of the tree pole, forming rows of bloody corpses.

What's even stranger is that all the corpses look as white as a piece of paper, and the blood in their bodies seems to have been completely drained, except for the skin and bones.

He Wei raised his head and was already terrified, and he couldn't roar out of his voice. But his legs couldn't move at all, and his whole body was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, and he was almost numb inside and out.

He Wei, who had always been timid as a mouse, suddenly went blank in his mind, and countless beads of sweat the size of corn slid down his cheeks and into his vest. His eyes turned white, and he fell on the lawn and fainted.

As the minutes ticked by, he didn't know how long he had been asleep. I only know that in the long dream, his mind is always vague, and he is completely in a state of unconsciousness.

"Head! Head! Wake up, Lord Zhang is looking for you to go back. ”

He Wei opened his eyes in a daze, and vaguely saw a dense crowd of human heads in front of him, and he squinted his eyes and turned left and right to observe the surroundings. Moving his dry mouth slightly, he opened his mouth and whispered:

"Where am I, who are you, all look at me with a stupid face!"

The fat brother's face was the most nervous among the crowd, he looked down at He Wei's face affectionately, and said anxiously: "Head, you can't even remember who we are, that dead old man shot hard enough." ”

He Wei slowly reached out and patted the back of his head gently, sat up from the ground, and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything important for Lord Zhang to find me?" ”

The fat brother said: "There is a murder and robbery case on the street, and I urgently need you to dare to deal with it. ”

He Wei straightened his waist and shook his head from side to side, feeling still a little groggy. He took a deep breath, squinted his eyes around the catalpa, and muttered, "In that case, let's go to the place where the incident happened." ”

The ghost chamen surrounding He Wei immediately spread out and lined up in two columns, their expressions were very serious, and their waists were straighter than telephone poles. A gap between the two paths had opened, and an old carriage appeared in front of them.

The fat brother walked in front, looked at He Wei's figure with a smile, bowed and said, "My lord, please get in the car." ”

"Wow, my sesame official actually has a special car, you guys are so careful." He Wei looked at the carriage with a smile, suddenly turned pale, stretched out his hand and stroked his chin and sighed: "It's just that the horse on the carriage looks yellow and thin, and I haven't eaten it for a few days." ”

The fat brother lowered his body and followed closely behind him, sighed helplessly, and said, "Hey, it's not easy to find a living horse in this poor country, so you can be wronged." ”

He Wei walked forward and said with a smile: "It's okay, at least you don't have to walk through step by step." I'm already happy to have a special carriage. ”

As soon as He Wei stepped into the carriage, he found that it was quite spacious inside. As soon as he sat down, he saw that the curtain in and out was suddenly lifted, and suddenly a dense group of ghosts poured in outside, squeezing into the carriage.

He Wei was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he looked at them intently and asked, "What are you all doing here?" Don't hurry up and get out of Ben-sama's car. ”

The fat brother suddenly got out of the gap in the crowd, showed a head, and said with a smile: "Hehe, my lord, I'm really sorry, we people came by this carriage before, the road is far away, you can't bear to let us walk back on two legs." ”

He Wei was speechless for a moment, wanting to cry without tears. I thought I had a special car for transportation, but it turned out to be a "bus" for a long time, and I felt a little scared when I thought that this big place in the carriage would be crowded with more than a dozen people.

There were people coming in from outside the carriage, and the carriage was crowded with people up and down, and there was no extra space at all.

He Wei suddenly smelled all kinds of strange smells in his nose, the smell of feet, sweat, and foxes in one go. He was also squeezed into a horn Gadari, and he couldn't even stretch his legs straight.

The seats inside are basically full, and some people really don't have space to sit, so they have to lean and deformably crowd in the crowd.

He Wei didn't think about anything at all in his heart at the moment, he just wanted this carriage to drive to the destination quickly, so that he didn't have to suffer such an ordeal again.

But after more than ten minutes, the carriage remained in place, showing no signs of moving. He Wei felt a little puzzled, so he curiously tilted his face and asked the fat brother: "Why is this car still not driving, where is the groom?" ”

The fat brother suddenly became angry, and his two eyes were about to shoot sparks, and he crooked his nose and shouted at those people: "What are you all doing in the car, hurry up and take one person down to drive." ”

Many people had painful expressions on their faces, and none of them were willing to speak, huddled in the carriage one by one, pretending to be stupid.

At this time, He Wei couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to say with difficulty: "You all get out of the way, I can't go and drive the horse, you uncles one by one." ”

The fat brother looked shocked, and then replied: "You better forget it, this horse is really not something that ordinary people can drive, so I'll go." ”

"No, no, I'll go, I'll go, I really don't want to stay in here, just sit tight."

He Wei glanced at him, immediately turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, and jumped out of the carriage.

He Wei immediately took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and his whole person felt like he was about to suffocate. He patted his chest hard, turned and crawled back to the carriage.

He Wei looked at the thin yellow horse tied to the carriage and felt a little unsteady on his feet. He immediately picked up the whip and slapped the horse's buttocks, but to his surprise, the horse did not move at all, and remained in place.

He Wei couldn't figure it out, even if this horse was thin and weak, he had to run if he was pumped. But it's like a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water, and it can't feel it when it's fished out.

He immediately twitched several times so hard that his hand felt like it was about to dislocate, and his palm was numb. But the horse in front of him still didn't move, lying stupidly on the spot like a stake.

At this time, the fat brother's head suddenly came out of the curtain, and he Wei who was sitting in front of the carriage said in a panic: "Why don't I come, you go back and sit inside, although this horse looks very thin, it is really not something that ordinary people can control." ”

He Wei turned his head and said angrily: "No! Even if I get killed by this horse, I will never return to the carriage, is that where people stay? ”

After speaking, He Wei used all his strength to pull down the horse's buttocks.

The horse was like a crazy beast, and suddenly two back kicks kicked one after another, aimed at He Wei's chest and kicked it over, kicking He Wei under the carriage, and the whole person flew several meters away. He fell heavily to the ground, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and suddenly a cloud of blood gushed out of his mouth.

When the fat brother saw it, he immediately jumped out of the car in a hurry. rushed to He Wei's side in one breath, and asked urgently: "Ouch, my good girl, are you okay, can you still move?" ”

He Wei quickly reached out to wipe the blood on his chin, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's okay, you can't die, where did you get this horse, is it a horse?" How is it like a stubborn donkey. ”

The fat brother had a painful expression on his face and said, "This is indeed a horse, but I have never seen such a horse, and I don't know who threw it on the side of the road." ”

"What? Did you pick up the horses? He Wei patted the dust on his body and immediately stood up.

The fat brother's face suddenly became a little nervous again, and it looked like he had said something that he shouldn't say. His expression changed, and he hurriedly replied, "Huh? Yes, don't ask so much, you better please. ”

He Wei limped back to the carriage, twisted his neck and said casually: "We are officials anyway, are we so poor?" ”

The fat brother didn't speak, just lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and followed closely behind him.

He Wei shook his head helplessly, and had to climb back into the carriage again. But this time he didn't use a horsewhip, but asked the fat guy to find a steamed bun to come over. After hearing this, the fat brother took out half of the gnawed steamed bun from the bag and handed it to him.

He Wei was a little embarrassed and asked, "Are we really so poor?" ”

The fat brother lowered his head, and once again flashed a bitter smile, but still didn't reply half a sentence.

He Wei also smiled bitterly and hung the half of the steamed bun on the horse's neck. When the horse saw the steamed bun in front of him, his body suddenly began to move, but the speed was still very slow, almost walking.

At this rate, it is estimated that they will not be able to reach their destination even after the sun sets in the west. Even if you get out of the car and walk step by step, it is more than ten times faster than sitting on it. He Wei really had no choice, so he had to turn around and ask the fat brother in the car if there was any better food.

The fat brother refused, saying that there was nothing but steamed buns. And the steamed bun is only the half, which is still pulled out of his mouth.

In a fit of rage, He Wei angrily jumped out of the carriage and shouted for everyone to come down and run to the dock to fish.

After hearing this, many people were not very happy, and they all looked listless. But under He Wei's repeated persuasion, they all had to climb out of the carriage one by one.

He Wei could see at a glance that these people must have not eaten a good meal for three or five days, so they were so lazy and lazy. He said to them, "If you can catch a fish, I'll give you a full meal tonight." ”

This sentence really worked, and everyone immediately cheered up, and one by one they ran into the jungle to cut down trees and make fishing rods, and then went to the soil to dig out earthworms. When I returned to the dock, I sat down in a row and began to catch fish seriously.

The fat brother was curious, so he ran over and asked, "What's the use of this fishing?" ”

"Hey! This horse doesn't eat steamed buns, it must like to eat fish. It doesn't matter if it works or not, it's always good to give it a try. He Wei said that he also ran to the dock, released the fishing rod, and began to fish in the water.
