Chapter 196: Touching Captain Jin
The young boys' eyes widened, they had never seen such a large number of rats. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
…… No, it should be said that it is a giant rat.
Thousands of giant rats with cats like a tide poured out of the hole, occupying the entire grass hall, and then fled in all directions, thunder, rain, friction and squeaky rats filled the entire space, looking at the giant rats on the ground, the children lying on the temple beams had a feeling of liver and gall, the size of these rats was about to catch up with the length of their forearms, if they were accidentally pounced by the rats, within a moment, they would be gnawed beyond recognition, and they would be killed immediately!
While his heart was chilling, Tang Zhen couldn't help but glance at the mysterious man who was half-squatting beside him, until this moment, several children also understood why he threw himself on the temple beam without saying a word.
But seeing this person's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face with a black entanglement, a black coat, and a lot of cloth bags hanging around his waist, I couldn't tell what he was doing.
...... ratcatcher?
Of course, this is also Tang Zhen's random speculation, he himself doesn't know if there is such a business in the world, but in the troubled times, these half-grown children understand a lot of things, and they are relatively mature.
The mysterious man looked at the crazy rat swarm below, and didn't talk nonsense, he took out a thing from the bag on his waist, and before the people around him could see it clearly, he saw that with a stroke of his hand, the thing in his palm rose into flames, and then threw it down, clearing a small safe area in the rat swarm.
Looking at the crackling fire on the ground, Tang Zhen felt that his whole body was a lot warmer...... However, even if it is to drive away the rats, the fire is still extremely dangerous, after all, there are Hu people slaughtering the village nearby, and if they see the fire in the mountain, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not kill it.
With the child's messy worries, the mysterious man on the temple beam was already in a vertical shape, gently fell to the ground, picked up the fire Tingzi, and threw it directly into the depths of the hole.
"Stay up there, and leave as soon as it gets daybreak."
With that, the man went into the hole again, leaving only the three children lying on the temple beams for unknown reasons.
"You say...... What is he doing here? ”
After being silent for a long time, one of the little friends asked tremblingly, as if he was scared by the scene of the rat swarm, and his little face was still pale when he said this.
Tang Zhen shook his head, how could he know. However, he still decided to strictly abide by the instructions of the mysterious man, and spend the night lying on the temple beam, tomorrow's affairs, then tomorrow's talk.
Several children did think this way at first, and although they were curious about what the mysterious man did, they really didn't dare to make a mistake, but when they obediently lay on the temple beam, Tang Zhen saw the sparkling fires not far from the forest from the dilapidated gap of the grass temple.
Someone is searching the mountains!
Looking at the sparkling firelight, Tang Zhen felt a palpitation, needless to say, who else is still doing this kind of thing at this time, except for those bloodthirsty Hu people? Seeing the fire getting closer and closer, this teenage child did not dare to delay any longer, and showed extraordinary decisiveness at a young age.
"Let's go down to the hole."
He said to the little friend who was trembling and at a loss for what to do, and then slid down the temple beam with a "swoop", although he thought so, but when a few children all gathered around the edge of the bottomless pit, looking at the unknown space under their feet, they still swallowed their saliva.
As the voices outside the Grass Temple became more and more noisy, Tang Zhen knew that it would definitely be bad if it dragged on any longer, anyway, the mysterious man who was agile before had gone down, so it would not be more dangerous than the situation outside.
After making up his mind, Tang Zhen was no longer ambiguous, his body was short, and he slid down the pit first. Seeing this, the other two friends behind him also gritted their teeth and jumped all the way.
The pit was deep and narrow, and the three thin figures went straight down, like a slide, Tang Zhen only felt that the wind was hunting in his ears, and the cold and slippery feeling was coming from all directions, and the darkness in his eyes remained unchanged until there was a "bang", which was considered to be on the ground.
At the end of the cavern was a large space, made of masonry and iron plates, like a room, unlike any room I had seen before, this one had no doors, windows, furniture, beds, or even ...... There was nothing but the object in the center of the room.
The pile-up of bucket-shaped sealing bags is engraved on the stone slab...... In the middle of the room was a tomb.
Tang Zhen's children are not very old, but they have heard of this strange funeral, but compared to the tomb in the tomb, there are more shocking things in front of him.
I saw that the mysterious man was kneeling down on his knees in front of the sealed mound, and his entire upper body was lying on the ground, as if he was praying, and he was still saying something in his mouth, and on the southeast corner not far from him, there was a candle lit.
Candles weren't a rarity, but they were just a flickering flame...... but it is dark green.
"W-What's going on?"
Several children were startled by the slightest ghostly candle flame, and exclaimed in unison.
When the mysterious man heard that there was someone behind him, he suddenly turned around and found that it was actually a few children who he had just saved, and he couldn't help but twitch the muscles in his face, and got up and said angrily.
"Didn't you tell you to stay on top of the temple beams? Why did you run down?! Go back! ”
He was emotional, and his tone was extremely unkind, which frightened several children to take a few steps back unconsciously.
Tang Zhen was also taken aback, but he knew that if he was driven out of this place at this time, then he would only be greeted by Hu Ren's firewood knife, so he calmed down a little and defended in an extremely mature tone.
"If you plan to save us, why don't you save us to the end? If we are driven back to the grass temple at this time, a few of us will not be able to escape the killing of the Hu people, in this case, it is better to let us die when the rat plague is infested! ”
The Hu people are coming?
The mysterious man was stunned for a moment, and then asked, the head of the child in front of the meeting was like a chicken pecking rice, and many complicated expressions appeared on his face for a moment.
After a long while, the man sighed heavily and said.
"In that case, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, you follow me, and we will find another way to live."
After that, he didn't look at a few oil bottles, went straight around the mound of sealed soil in front of him, paced into the darkness deep in space, and after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and admonished.
"No matter what you see for a while, don't run away easily, you must be together." (To be continued.) )
