It soon darkened, and the occasional birdsong or two could be heard along the way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zheng Pei walked along the main road until he turned back and stopped on the side of the road when he couldn't see the town anymore. As soon as it was completely dark, he could start flying on the wooden carving. But before that, he could only stay here, remembering the big cat he met with Granny Ye last time, Zheng Pei subconsciously touched his neck with his hand, and now this kind of wilderness and no one is still quite terrifying. Zheng Pei picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and with the guy by his side, he could still have a little sense of security.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves "rattled" for a while. Zheng Pei sat on the side of the road leaning against a tree, and he couldn't remember how many such lonely dusks he had passed. When I was young, I went out to play with the children in the village, and every day at this time, the chimneys of every house would start to smoke, and it would not be long before an adult would come and call the children's names and go home for dinner. Everyone was called back one by one, and in the end, only Zheng Pei was left, standing alone in the field, and no one called him. In the end, Zheng Pei found a place to sit and watched the sun go down alone. Finally, one time, he asked his mother, why didn't my father call me home? Where's my dad? He doesn't remember what his mother said to him, or his mother didn't say anything to him at all, he only remembers that his mother cried fiercely that day. So he never asked this question again, not because he didn't want to see the man called "Dad", but because he didn't want to make his mother sad again.

"Zheng Pei......" A weak and dark voice came from the darkness, like a ghost quietly coming to Zheng Pei's side.

Zheng Pei's heart tightened, and in an instant he almost jumped up from the ground and clenched the wooden stick in his hand.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and although there was still a little residual light in the dusky sky, with the wind swaying around, every swaying tree shadow seemed to have a hidden figure. Zheng Pei looked around vigilantly, and turned the wooden stick in his hand "whirring" in a circle and a half, as if to prove to the other party that as long as he was hit, he would be injured.

"Zheng Pei!" This time, the voice was very clear, as if it sounded in Zheng Pei's ears. But there was really no one around, and Zheng Pei's forehead had already begun to break out in cold sweat.

"Zheng Pei, don't be afraid." Zheng Pei heard a trace of patience from the other party's voice, which was not like the feeling of wanting to harm him, but a bit like a phone call. He put down the wooden stick and calmly distinguished it, and suddenly, Zheng Pei asked in surprise, "Are you ...... Granny Ye? ”

A white paper lantern the size of an aluminum lunch box flickered down in front of Zheng Pei, and Granny Ye's voice came again: "Zheng Pei, you follow it." ”

The paper lantern flew into the air, and Zheng Pei hurriedly followed with the wood carving. When the last ray of light in the sky was completely gone, the paper lantern suddenly lit up on its own. The dim yellow candlelight was completely unaffected by the night wind in the lantern, and it was always bright and steady, and Zheng Pei followed closely at the back door with the fat butt eagle. As for which direction to fly and where to fly, Zheng Pei didn't know at all, and besides, he didn't care at all.

After a while, the lantern began to descend and slowed down, but the brightness of the candlelight continued to increase, almost becoming a large wattage light bulb, lighting the way for the landing of the fat-butted eagle. After Zheng Pei put the wood carving into his backpack, the lantern returned to its original brightness, silently leading the way for Zheng Pei in front.

"Zheng Pei, you're here." When the lantern stopped, Zheng Pei saw Granny Ye by the dim yellow candlelight. It's just that under the candlelight, Granny Ye's appearance seems to be much older.

"Hmm." Zheng Pei responded, which was regarded as a greeting.

Granny Ye didn't say anything, turned around and walked forward, and the paper lantern seemed to have spirituality, flying in front of Granny Ye to light the way for her. Zheng Pei didn't say much, and hurriedly followed. He always had a feeling, as if Granny Ye knew that she was coming. Therefore, he doesn't have to say much, as long as he obeys Granny Ye's arrangement.

An old man and a young man walked slowly, the dim candlelight could not illuminate the road very clearly, Zheng Pei walked all the way up and down very hard, but Granny Ye was very neat, as if walking on flat ground, not affected at all. I don't know how far I walked, but Granny Ye suddenly stopped and couldn't go. Zheng Pei didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly got to Granny Ye's side.

"Something came out and said, what are you doing sneaky?" Granny Ye said loudly. Zheng Pei looked around and found no sign of anyone.

Granny Ye sneered and continued to walk forward. Zheng Pei also hurriedly followed, he looked back and asked in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, ...... just now"

Before Zheng Pei finished speaking, Granny Ye raised her hand and signaled him not to speak. The two continued to walk forward, and Zheng Pei deliberately paid attention to his surroundings, but except for the occasional night breeze, he really didn't find anything.

Granny Ye suddenly stopped, and turned around and pressed Zheng Pei's shoulder. Just when Zheng Pei was stunned, Granny Ye's other hand quickly threw something out behind the two of them. "Don't move!" Granny Ye whispered to Zheng Pei, but Zheng Pei didn't understand what Granny Ye was going to do at all, only heard that there seemed to be a lot of sounds of "Xi Xi Suosuo" passing by the two of them, and even some voices passed directly under the feet of the two. The light of the paper lantern was so dim that Zheng Pei couldn't see what was under his feet at all. He could only feel that there were a lot of things crawling, as if some were crawling directly on the surface of his feet, making him feel hairy in his heart. Suddenly, Zheng Pei saw a colorful strip crawling away from the surface of his feet, his heart tightened, and his scalp was numb as if he had passed a layer of electricity......

Snake! The earth is full of snakes!

After these voices of "Xi Xi Suosuo" gradually faded away, Zheng Pei dared to take a breath of breath in an instant. And just when he was frightened, Granny Ye grabbed his wrist and directly used the Wind Technique......
