Chapter Eighty-Four: A Woman in the Wind
Under the sparse starry sky, the wind swept the land, and in the desolate wilderness, a group of goblins were engaged in cannibalism, as if even the moon could not bear to witness such a tragic situation, hiding behind the clouds, causing the ground to be even darker.
"Grandpa Pig, such a dry old man is not enough for us to eat, or ......"
"Well, how did you say the woman and the child died?"
"It's hard to say, of course, it's also a cold every night, and I died of a sudden illness."
"Confused, it's normal for one person to die of illness, but how can two people die of illness at the same time, this is not an epidemic plague, you are really brainless."
"Yes, yes, the little one really has no brains, so how did he die, I hope that Grandpa Pig will teach me for the sake of the small one who is quite diligent."
"You could say that it was this woman who accidentally dropped her own child to the ground and died, and then she was so sad that she committed suicide."
"High, really high. Grandpa Pig is worthy of being an old demon, but he is smarter than us. ”
"Hahahaha, grandpa, I eat more salt than you eat rice, and I will learn more from me in the future."
The little demons are like a tide, flattering, as the saying goes, sycophants, pigs also go up the tree. Although the current pig demon has not been photographed and does not know what his surname is, he also knows some of them. In order to behave in front of the pig demon, the little demon rushed to kill the human woman, pushing and shoving each other, and when they were competing for favor, a woman's voice came faintly: "Do you have anything to eat?" I am hungry. ”
The goblins were silent and looked around cautiously, but they saw the figure of a slender woman in white coming slowly and quickly from a distance. The woman was extremely tall, with long legs, long arms, and a long neck, with two long braids hanging down behind her head, a thin waist and flat chest, and a dusty posture.
A little demon shouted: "That woman, who are you and where did you come from?" Where to go? ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and said to herself, "Yes, where am I going, where can I go?" ”
The pig demon suddenly remembered that the monk of the Ming Wangzong said just now that the big evil man came, the woman in front of the meeting was so tall, I'm afraid it was, and hurriedly waved his hand to drink the little demons back, and came out in person and asked: "Under is the East Town Guard under the command of the king of Weishan Lake, I don't know who the girl is, what are you doing here?" ”
The woman thought for a moment, and instead of answering his question, she asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”
The pig demon smiled and replied kindly: "We are in a hurry, and we are not carrying dry food, only a human woman caught on the way, if the girl does not dislike it, take it away." ”
The woman was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where is this?" Are there any villages and towns ahead? ”
"Yes. More than ten miles ahead, there is a big village and town, called Taiping Town, I heard that it is very prosperous, if the girl wants to go, you can go in that direction. ”
The woman nodded.
As soon as the pig demon made a gesture, the little demon next to him let go of the chains on the woman's feet, pushed her over, pointed at the woman, and said, "Follow her." ”
The woman turned around and walked in the direction guided by the pig demon, and the human woman who was let go by the little demon hurriedly held the child, staggering behind, although it was difficult to walk, but in order to get as far away from these man-eating monsters as possible, she could only grit her teeth and insist, and slowly drift away.
When they were gone, they couldn't see it, and then the little demon let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's terrible, this woman is like a knife on my neck, and my hairs stand on end." ”
The pig demon looked at the direction where the woman was far away, and muttered: "It's really indifferent and sharp, this woman has a sharp blade on her body, maybe it's a rare treasure, no wonder the monk of Ming Wangzong wants to hunt her down." ”
There was a little demon next to him and said: "Grandpa Pig, this woman looks like that, it should be our demon clan." It's so powerful, it won't be a demon handsome. ”
The pig demon smiled coldly and said: "Where is the demon handsome so easy to meet, our king is just a demon handsome, and this woman is just a demon general." However, the demon general is different from the demon general, your grandfather and I are also demon generals, but that woman is much more powerful than me, plus she is pregnant with a treasure, even more powerful. ”
The little demon next to him smacked his tongue and said: "That woman is so powerful, so what kind of monk from the Ming Wangzong still dares to chase and kill her, doesn't this mean that the monk is even more powerful?" ”
"Hmph. That monk is really powerful, but no matter how strong he is, he is limited, at most he is similar to that woman. However, since the monk dares to chase and kill the other party, he must have the means to restrain the other party, but this is not something we can know. Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us, let's not participate, let's go to sleep, we haven't eaten enough tonight, and tomorrow we will have another big meal in Taiping Town. ”
"Yes, please rest Grandpa Pig."
All the little demons scattered to find a place to lie down, because they were not full, they were in a bad mood, and secretly decided that they would have a big meal when they arrived at the place tomorrow.
But it was said that the woman who had just escaped from the hands of the demon clan was surnamed Zhang, and people called her Zhang, and the Zhang family was poor since she was a child, even if she grew up and got married, her husband's life was not easy. In order to find more food, his husband Shi Bao left the village and town with her, her children, and her father-in-law, and ran to live in the wilderness far away, where no one came to collect taxes, and the land was fertile, and some game was produced, so it was easier to fill his stomach. Although everyone knows that this side is relatively close to the territory of the monsters, and it is not protected by the third grandfather, it is very dangerous, but in order to find more food, I can't take care of it.
Zhang's husband Shi Bao is a qualified hunter, usually can always catch some rabbits and other game, some time ago Shi Bao took a few skins to the town to exchange for some salt, came back with a good news, that in the town as a prestige, skin, drink human blood Luo Da Lao died, now the town is the new Wang Xianshi is the master, this Wang Xianshi is benevolent, generous to others, like a saint in general, not only open a porridge factory to help the poor, but also to the poor free cotton clothes and cotton shoes, the most happy thing is, If anyone does things for Wang Xianshi, the treatment is unbelievable. Shi Bao knew Uncle Shi beside Wang Xianshi, and he was still a relative who didn't have five suits, and after he came back, he discussed with his family and wanted to go to Uncle Shi to talk about it and ask for an errand under Wang Xianshi.
Zhang also saw the coat and cotton shoes brought back by his husband with his own eyes, and felt that the clothes were so thick, they were so warm to wear, and the cotton shoes were comfortable to wear, and Zhang immediately trusted Wang Xianshi and their character. In addition, her father-in-law also supported, saying that Shi Dayou was his old friend for many years and would never pit them, Shi Bao left home and went to the town to participate in the selection, and later came back and said that because he was strong and good at hunting, he was successfully selected into the military camp, Shi Bao's father was not worried about his son going to be a soldier, so he went to intercede with Uncle Shi, and transferred him to the town's escort team, responsible for patrolling, now there is food and drink, and there is money every month, and he can bring back a lot of food to the family when he goes home, and he wears a new uniform, It's clean and imposing.
A few days ago, Shi Bao went home and said to his old father and wife that Wang Xianshi had built several rows of new houses outside the town, which were spacious and bright, and there was a kind of thing called heating inside, which could be warmed to live, and he had applied for what kind of housing qualifications he had applied for, and when he came back next time, he would bring the whole family over to live in a new house. His grandson is also going to school, and there is finally hope for his life......
I didn't expect to stay in my own shack today, and a group of monsters came......
Zhang stumbled forward with the woman in front of him, the child in his arms had no strength to cry due to hunger and cold, groggy in her arms, Zhang hugged his child tighter, his heart was dazed, his mind was blank, and he only knew one thought, that is, the farther away from the group of man-eating monsters, the better.
Zhang kept walking, putting the child's face in his arms, all the way forward.
The distance of more than ten miles is not too far, Zhang has been used to it since childhood, and he doesn't take it seriously, and after walking for about an hour, a light flashed in front of him, and the figure was longing under the bright light.
Taiping Town has finally arrived.
