Eight

Ever since he lived with bears, his grandfather discovered that bears have a habit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info as long as there is a moonlit night, the bear will be prostrate under the moon at midnight, not knowing what to do. After getting this stone, the bear puts the stone in front of him every time he worships the moon, as if he is worshipping the moon and as if he is worshipping this stone. Although the grandfather at that time did not understand the bear's behavior, just like children like to imitate adults, the grandfather also learned from the bear to worship the moon and the stone every day. One night when they were crawling on the ground with all their hearts, they suddenly heard a very slight noise, and Grandpa looked up and saw that it was a figure who took advantage of the fact that he and the bear were lying on the ground, sneaked over, picked up the stone and ran, and Grandpa and the bear immediately chased after him. But the person he didn't expect was quite agile, jumping in the woods, and it was difficult to catch up with the tired panting of Grandpa and the black bear. But the black bear seemed to be mad, desperately chasing after everything, and just like that, the man ran in front, and the grandfather and the bear chased after him, and refused to give up until dawn. After all, people's physical strength is limited, and the person's physical strength is basically exhausted after a night of desperate running, and in order to survive, he climbed a big tree, probably because he wanted to wait for the bear to get impatient and walk away, so he could come down. What I didn't expect was that the bear simply sat down under the tree, with a posture that I would never leave if you didn't come down. Later, it was the man's distress whistle that attracted Lao Zhang。。。。。。。

Hearing this, several adults probably knew it in their hearts. The person who stole the stone should be Lao Xu in the mouth of the two people that Grandpa heard in the sarcophagus. And those two people were probably poisoned by this old Xu, and the purpose was this stone. But why did he poison two people and not take the stones? Lao Zhang analyzed that there were not fresh tiger paw prints around the two people, and it was likely that they were scared away by the tiger before they could take the stone. Everyone agrees with his analysis. But what now? Why is that stone so precious?

By this time, it was getting dark, and everyone was reluctant to stay in the woods. I took my grandfather and returned to Lao Liang's house with a stomach full of questions.

Originally, the purpose of their trip was to find my grandfather, but now that they have found it and brought it back, they should have been happy. But the episode of the stone thief did not make everyone happy. Especially the friend who was poisoned, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he couldn't wait to leave this place as soon as possible.

In this way, early the next morning, everyone said goodbye to Lao Liang's family and the mysterious old forest. The journey was quite smooth, and I arrived at a county town at the bottom of the mountain, planning to rest for the night and take the train to the provincial capital tomorrow. What I didn't expect was that there was an accident again that night!

They stayed in a very small inn with few guests and poor conditions. But the county itself is not big, and there is nowhere else to live. Anyway, it's just one night, and it's okay to do anything. The owner was a thin, withered old man, as thin as a gust of wind could blow. The guests were not enthusiastic when they came to the door, and it was not until they saw that their grandfather showed a little head behind Lao Zhang that their eyes lit up and they smiled a little more.

Put down the luggage, and a few people went out together to find dinner. Not far from the hotel, there is a stall selling mutton soup baked cakes, which looks quite clean, and a few people go over and sit down, and each of them asks for two baked cakes and a bowl of mutton soup. Just when everyone was concentrating on eating the food in their hands, someone suddenly shouted, the horse was startled! Then there was a commotion, and a frightened red horse rushed from a distance like a frenzy! Abin Ah Yuan was young in the end, and he was the first to react, and the two of them rushed towards the startled horse almost at the same time, and grabbed the reins of the horse tightly together, so that the horse that was galloping slowly slowed down and gradually stopped. Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. This is one of the liveliest streets in the county. People come and go, if the horse really rushes over, the consequences are really unimaginable. A lot of people came around. praised Abin and Ah Yuan with gossips. The two young men smiled shyly, got rid of the crowd, and returned to the stall where they had just eaten. Lao Zhang smiled and nodded at the two of them, quite appreciative. Xicheng patted them on the shoulder happily and said repeatedly: Good boy, I didn't embarrass the master! Everyone laughed, and grandpa also looked at the two big brothers with admiration, envying their ability and strength.

After eating and checking out, the stall owner hesitated for a moment, and said to Lao Zhang in a very small voice: The shop where you live is not clean, pay more attention. After saying that, he didn't look at them, and turned around to entertain other guests. Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xicheng again, obviously he also heard it. The two exchanged glances, and returned to the hotel with everyone as if nothing had happened.

At night, people who are tired from a long day of work fall asleep early. Only Lao Zhang and Xicheng have been vigilant because of the warning of the food stall owner, although they also lie on the shop silently, but they dare not relax for a moment, and always pay attention to the surrounding movements.

It was a very simple room, with only one bunk in it, and seven people were crammed into it.

Lao Zhang and Xicheng slept in the most twice, and Abin and Ah Yuan slept in the middle. Grandpa slept next to Lao Zhang, and he could touch his grandfather's little head as soon as he stretched out his hand. Last night, I gave my grandfather a good bath at Lao Liang's house, and shaved off my hair that had not been cut for more than a year. Lao Liang went to the house with children and gave him two clothes that his grandfather could wear. Grandpa, who had been wandering with black bears in the mountains and forests for nearly a year, finally revealed his true appearance - a thin little boy with unusually clever eyes.

Listening to the child's even breathing, thinking that he had finally fulfilled the master's last wish, Lao Zhang's heart felt very steady. As for the cleanliness of the store, he didn't particularly care. How many years of strong winds and waves, I haven't seen anything. Just be careful. Thinking of this, he wanted to tell Xicheng to sleep first, and he could just keep it. Before he could say anything, he heard an unusual noise from the window, and he immediately became alert, staring at the window with wide eyes in the darkness. It was very light, very light, a window was pushed open, and a mass of furry things jumped in gently. There was no sound at all when it fell to the ground. Then, this thing came to the side of the kang, starting from Xicheng on the far left, and observed everyone one by one, as if there was no special emotion. It wasn't until he walked up to my grandfather that Lao Zhang obviously felt that this thing was getting excited. He was even more vigilant in his heart, holding a small dagger with a peach wood handle in his hand, ready to shoot at any time. The peach wood is against the demon, the dagger is against the person, the two are combined into one, plus the mental power of the master of the master, his power is not comparable to ordinary daggers.

Then the moonlight outside the window, Lao Zhang finally saw that the fluffy thing was actually a weasel. This kind of thing is very common in the Northeast, and there are many people who have attained enlightenment. The common people usually respect "Huang Xian" when they mention it. Immortals, like people, have good and bad tempers, and immortals have high and low qualities. Therefore, there are both those who protect their homes and nurses, and there are those who steal chickens and dogs. The good and the bad are mixed, and people love and hate. Looking at the appearance of this little yellow fairy, Lao Zhang knew that this was a novice who had not cultivated for a long time and was still shallow. He quietly released the dagger. From his pocket, he pulled out a drawn talisman. The talisman is not very powerful and will not hurt anyone. It's just a warning to stop it. Lao Zhang didn't want to be serious with it, and he didn't want to hurt it to create a karma for himself. So it's okay to intend to scare it away. Just when Lao Zhang was about to make a move, a gust of wind blew, and another shadow appeared in the house.
