Chapter 22: Refinement

With the gaze of the small eyeballs on the roof, a white light shot towards the wooden basin like an arrow, and as soon as I turned my head, the white light fell on my shoulder impartially, and everyone was also diverted by this sudden change, who should I be? It turned out that Xiaobai was tired from playing outside, and came home to find food. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I hurriedly stopped it with my hand, because looking at its posture, it was eyeing the "lion king" in the wooden basin. I don't dare to relax a little, this "Lion King" will come for a while to verify who will be the leader of the North Road, on the other hand, it is already the ninth uncle's, I have to take care of it.

I found some corn kernels from the side and threw them aside, and Xiaobai immediately flew over to eat them. Let's not talk about Xiaobai for the time being, and look at the "Lion King" in the wooden basin, I was not frightened by Xiaobai's disturbance just now, but seemed more energetic, which made me a little reluctant to give it to Uncle Jiu.

I saw that the "Lion King" raised his head twice in the center of the big basin, and then looked at the two people on both sides of the basin, and ran to Uncle Zhong's side without looking back, and stuck to his side, screaming non-stop.

"Big, big, everyone saw it, cricket, cricket chose Zhong Ling, this, this North Road will be handed over to you!" The village chief announced word by word.

Although Hua Ying was a little disappointed, in front of so many people, he could only be willing to gamble and lose. However, the village chief still has a way, and said: "Let, let Hua Tou'er be the second-in-command, match, and cooperate with Boss Zhong to guard the North Road!" ”

Grandma Tai said that this is the best, the two of them have been together for a long time, their personalities can complement each other, and it is the best way to take people to guard the North Road together.

Just when everyone thought that the three roads had been gathered, and they were only waiting for the west road, Boss Zhong showed embarrassment, approached Grandma Tai and said, "Grandma, if that guy takes advantage of the chaos to make a move, what can I do?" ”

His words made Grandma a little stunned, yes, I patronized this thing in front of me, and that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

What the hell is that? It all started 10 years ago.

Ten years ago, Boss Zhong and his father were still working as hunters, and the pig farm was still under construction at that time. There is a large wasteland to the north of our village, and further north of the wasteland is an old forest, and there are few people in the whole village who make a living from hunting, after all, there are too few things to hunt.

Boss Zhong and his father are the only hunters in our village, and they usually hunt rabbits, pheasants or something, but seeing that Zhong Ling is almost thirty years old and no one has been her daughter-in-law, can parents not worry? Let the matchmaker in the village introduce a lot of girls from neighboring villages and villages, but everyone says that a hunter is afraid that it will be difficult to eat in the future.

A bell is also one? Head, love to follow or not, I have been hunting and raising myself for the rest of my life, but then I said, seeing that my peers around me are all married and have children, he said that he is not in a hurry to listen to outsiders.

At that time, the pigsty of the brigade was in the process of being built, and there were only a few simple sheds and a few earthen pigsty built with adobe, and it was Hua Ying who was in charge of these at that time, and he had just graduated from agricultural school at that time, so he could be said to be a cultural person in the village, so he was asked to take care of the pigsty.

Sometimes, when Zhong Ling is tired from hunting, he will come here to sit for a while, smoke a cigarette, and then chat with Hua Ying without a word. On a snowy winter afternoon, Hua Ying told Zhong Ling such a strange thing, which made Zhong Ling a little surprised.

Hua Ying said that he was in this shed by himself, especially at night, he was not afraid, but there was loneliness, one day, he ran outside to breathe, and saw that on the edge of the forest in the north of the village, there was a red thing flashing, like a person, so he ran over curiously to see what was going on, but he was there, in the blink of an eye, there was nothing, several times, he didn't know what was going on?

Zhong Ling was hunting, and of course he didn't believe in evil, so he said, "Don't worry about it, I'll go and see it at night."

So, that night, he went home early, asked his mother to make him some cured meat, drank two cups of soju, and was eating, Zhong Ling's father asked angrily: "What's the matter, I still drank it, where did I go on a blind date at night?" ”

This is how the peasant man is, sometimes a joke, but the tone of the sentence can be said to be hard, it makes people a little angry, so the bell does not make a sound, does not answer, stands up, takes the things of hunting, and goes out of the door.

Zhong Ling's old lady felt sorry for her son, so she ran out and brought him some bread and some meat, so that he could hunt and eat at night.

When Zhong Ling walked out of the village, when he looked back and saw his old lady still looking at him at the door of the house, he really shed tears, and said that he was so old, and he really didn't let the old lady worry.

Zhong Ling went north this time, bypassing the pig farm, and didn't go to say hello to Hua Ying, just now his father's words and his mother's figure made him upset. simply went straight to the place Hua Ying said, but he couldn't get too close, so he hid under a straw stack closest to the forest.

On this day, it began to darken little by little, but there was still a lot of time before the night, so Zhong Ling took out the wine bag made of deerskin, drank a big sip, and took a bite of the bacon that the old lady brought.

This day, it belongs to the early winter, not too cold, but as the night gets deeper and deeper, the temperature is still dropping, but Zhong Ling knows that he can't drink anymore, because the perennial experience in the wild tells him that this wine, when I first drank it, it was okay, but after that energy, it will get colder and colder, and the alcohol volatilizes in the stomach and also exudes the heat of the human body, so I can't drink it anymore, if there is a pot of hot tea now.

Just as he was thinking about it, he looked at the edge of the forest to the north, as if it had suddenly been cut, and a little red came out of it.

This made Zhong Ling excited, and remembered the strange thing Hua Ying said, and thought, this is what Hua Ying said.

If it weren't for Orion, he was more daring than usual, and driven by curiosity, Zhong Ling carried a shotgun and approached the red little by little.

Getting closer, reddering, and the bell could feel his breathing getting thicker and thicker, so he stopped and steadied himself. Looking carefully at the edge of the forest, hey, it is clearly the outline of a person, the appearance of a little daughter-in-law in red clothes.

Zhong Ling thought to herself, whose daughter-in-law is still on the edge of the forest so late, and what does she want to do?

As he was thinking, the smell of tea wafted from the edge of the forest. Zhong Ling sniffed and thought to himself, what kind of tea is brewed, so fragrant.

So, under the temptation of the fragrance of tea, he got closer to the red, this time he saw it more clearly, the back was a woman, wearing bright red clothes, but he only looked at the back, and he didn't know who she was.

"Hey, who is it, it's so late and you don't come home!" Zhong Ling asked tentatively.

"I, it's me, you don't know me!" Although this thin voice sounds like a woman's voice, how can it make people feel a chill in their eyes.

"Who the hell are you, do I know you?"

"Zhong Ling, you're thirsty, I have tea here, you can drink it!" The thin voice did not directly answer Zhong Ling's question, but asked him to go over for tea.

Zhong Lingxin said, isn't it just a woman, the past will pass. As he spoke, he put the gun on his back and passed in three steps and two steps. When he came closer, he was embarrassed to drag a woman over, so he asked again: "Sister, who are you, I'm here!" ”

"Okay, just come here!" This thin sound makes people listen to it more and more like a fried scalp.

"Give you tea, drink it!" As she spoke, the woman in red turned around.

This turn is terrible, it didn't scare the bell to death, where is this woman, it's clearly a mouse's face, not like a mouse, but indeed a mouse's face, but it's much bigger than the usual mouse, and then look at the body carefully, it's even more chilling, this red cloth is wrapped in a human shape set up by a little mouse, and some are still squeezing inside.

Although Zhong Ling was bold, although he was a hunter, he had never encountered such a situation, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to take the gun, and he couldn't take his legs, so he watched the big rat's face approaching him step by step surrounded by a group of small mice, where was the smell of tea, and a stinking smell came from the opposite side.

Zhong Lingxin said, it's over now, I met the mouse spirit, this is an explanation.

Just as the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked mouse face was approaching the bell, a white light flashed, and a crutch hit the guy in the face impartially.

This time it was good, the little mice were scattered at once, and the big mouse was beaten with a stick, and immediately retreated back, but did not go, but spoke: "Who, who, nosy!" And the voice was still so harsh, even more terrifying than before.

After this crutch, Grandma Tai dodged past and blocked in front of the bell, because the bronze mirror was hung on her chest, and in the moonlight, it illuminated the big mouse a little unable to open its eyes.

Zhong Ling took advantage of the moonlight, and looked again, oh, it was indeed a big mouse, and the hair was red, but the beard was snow-white, and if it stood up, it was about a meter high, and I saw that it was not on all fours, but standing upright, like a human.

It's too late, it's fast, before the guy can slow down, the grandmother went up with an arrow, and the bell has not yet reacted, a red rope has been firmly tied to the big mouse, the strangest thing is that the buckle of the rope is still coiled with a big golden insect, of course the bell doesn't know what kind of magic weapon it is, but when the big mouse sees the golden insect like seeing a cat, he is so frightened that he can't move, and he trembles.

Grandma Tai took out a jelly bean-like thing for Zhong Ling to swallow, and after eating it, Zhong Ling immediately felt that his legs and feet were his own again, which was really weird, why couldn't he move just now.

"Grandma, what happened to me just now? The big rat can also speak, what the hell is it? As soon as Zhong Ling came back to his senses, he asked Grandma.

"Refinement, refinement!"
