After Biaozi became a hero, his father didn't say anything about him, we still went to the tavern to drink every day as before, but the difference from before was the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper used to look at us like inferior people, very despised by us, but now he came out to greet us as soon as we came, personally entertained us, and said: "Biaozi is now a big hero in our town, but we can't be lazy, how can those little two be careful with me!" Hehe! In the future, the two of you will come to our store to eat and drink for free, I hope the two masters will not dislike the small shop, and come often! ”

"That's nature, this town is just better for you, why don't you come here? As for free, forget it, we can't be like bandits! It's natural to give money for dinner, and the shopkeeper is too polite! We have received this heart. I said to the shopkeeper, and at this time someone outside walked in while talking, "Who said that bandits don't pay for food?" I haven't got bandits in Partridge Mountain who don't eat and don't pay, what do you mean by that? ”

I looked at the door, it turned out to be He Meng, and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be He Meng!" I'm not saying this, you don't want to think too much. Biao Zi also said: "Brother He, don't think about it, he doesn't mean it, come on, sit down and have a drink!" "Okay, it's better to be respectful!" He Meng sat down and said, "I, Partridge Mountain, recently plan to rush to the northeast to fight Little Japan, do you two want to go together?" If you go, then my Partridge Mountain will be like a tiger with wings! What do you think of you? ”

Biaozi and I looked at each other, and then I said, "There are old and young people in the family, it's inconvenient to go!" Besides, what if another devil comes? So we want to build a self-defense force, so that we can protect our fellow villagers and elders, and as for the devils outside, it's up to you to kill them! We give you a strong backing! ”

"The rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, how can there be eggs under the nest, the country is going to die, can the family still be saved?" He Meng took a sip of wine and said, "You stay here and protect the people here, but what about the people in other places?" They are also in dire straits, shouldn't you go to their rescue? ”

"Isn't it you? We are not gods, there are many talented people in this world, there are many less of us, there are not many of us, we don't have that much ability, and it is already our limit to be able to protect this place, so, sorry! I said to He Meng.

"Alas! Never mind! Since this is the case, I will not be reluctant, I still have something to do, so I will leave first, and say goodbye! He Meng left disappointed.

"Why don't you say yes! We're okay at home, fighting devils is what men should do! You? Biaozi asked me, "He, I can't believe it, even if he gave a bet, I still can't believe it, last time I found a little magic power again, he told me that the previous bandit leader is likely to be killed by him, He Meng is very thoughtful, not credible." I replied, "Besides, if we leave, what will happen to the old people in the family?" Can you rest assured that your parents? Isn't it because the old people in the family are old? The Self-Defense Forces I am talking about can also be built? With your current prestige, it's simple. ”

"Well, but I don't want to do it, why don't you do it? Just go in my name, you know, I'm most afraid of trouble. Biaozi said.

"Okay, let's talk about it later! Drink. I said, out of the tavern, we each went home, after a few days, in the tavern I heard everyone talking about something, I listened carefully, it turned out that the bridge will be haunted, recently there are duck and chicken keepers driving chickens and ducks from the bridge to pass, a large number of chickens and ducks suddenly died, a look at the corpse, all are shriveled, as if sucked dry by something, at night, from where the people heard a woman crying, but there is no one to see, all thought it was haunted, I smiled, said to Biaozi: "Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it, there are no ghosts in this world! "I'm not afraid of it, believe it or not, I dare to sleep at the bridge for one night!" Biaozi said.

"I believe who you are! Biaozi! Great hero! Hehe! I said with a smile. Is it? Don't you dare to make another bet with me! Just bet you don't dare to go, how about it? He Meng took the pistol, carried the big knife, got off the horse, and said to the two of us, "I heard about it too!" Biaozi, I'm giving you fifty oceans, bet or not? "Okay, bet on it, what's this, I'll go tonight, it's still the same sentence, get ready for money!" By the way, didn't you go to the Northeast? How? Biaozi said.

"Oh~ I haven't gone yet, I'm preparing supplies! I have to set off after a while, although I have all the money, rest assured. He Meng replied.

After Biaozi went home, his father refused to let Biaozi go after he knew, so he gave Biaozi some sweat medicine, but Biaozi's mother was afraid that Biaozi would be harmful to his body after drinking the medicine, so he gave Biaozi an antidote when Biaozi's father was not paying attention, and then Biaozi was locked in the room, and after a while Biaozi woke up, because he was closed last time, so Biaozi left a backup key, which happened to be in use, while Biaozi's father went to the ground, Biaozi secretly unlocked the lock, took a bamboo bed, and just walked a few steps, he was discovered! So the two fathers and sons quarreled, but Biaozi still went.

At this time, it was the dog days, although it was evening, and the heat was unbearable, but when Biaozi walked to the bridge, a cold air rushed up from the soles of his feet, and Biaozi couldn't help but shiver, and his heart was a little hairy, but it couldn't affect Biaozi

Biaozi slowly put the bamboo bed into the water, and then went into the water to push the bamboo bed under the bridge, fixed the bamboo bed with a rope, and so after dark, Biaozi climbed on the bamboo bed, and then slept on the top The night in the countryside is always so quiet, even the frog did not chirp, Biaozi lay on the bamboo bed, listened to the sound of the water, and slowly fell asleep, I don't know how long it took, Biaozi suddenly heard someone crying, listen carefully, as if on it, Biaozi looked up, saw a woman, and asked her why she was crying, she said she was so cold, all the time so cold, and so hungry, Biaozi took off her clothes and put them on her, and the woman said to Biaozi, "Big brother, you are a good person, you helped me avenge me back then, and now you give me clothes to wear, you go back quickly, your father will have an accident." When Biao Zi heard her say this, his heart suddenly became angry, I was kind enough to give you clothes to wear, and you cursed my father, so he scolded and scolded twice, and found that something was wrong, because he was now under the bridge, and he looked up to see only one for hanging, rope, how could he still see people? At this time, the woman suddenly disappeared, and Biaozi screamed, sat up from the bamboo bed, and found that she had only dreamed

Lying down from the beginning, thinking about what happened in the dream, I felt so strange, looking at the rope used to hang himself, he suddenly remembered that the woman who had been ruined by the devil was dead here, and the woman in the dream was the same shape, thinking of this, Biaozi, plopped, jumped into the water, and swam to the shore, but no matter how hard Biaozi swam, the shore became farther and farther away, Biaozi stopped, he also knew a little about what he might encounter at night, knew that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, he returned to the bamboo bed, and poured a soak of urine on the hanging rope, After a while, he heard a lot of dog barking and frog barking, and Biaozi hurried to the house

As soon as Biaozi came ashore, he met the village chief, who said, "Go home quickly!" Your father has an accident, you have to be prepared. Biaozi rushed to the house, and when he walked to the yard of the house, he heard his mother crying, and there were many villagers and a group of dogs, Biaozi immediately rushed into his father's room, and saw his father lying on the bed, motionless, his mother was lying on the side of the bed and crying, and when he walked in, his father's face was blue, and there were traces of being strangled by a rope under his neck, and Biaozi pounced, kneeling on the side of the bed, and Biaozi asked his mother, "How is my father angry, who strangled my father to death, I want to split him alive"

Biaozi's mother scolded Biaozi, "It's all your fault for going to the bridge meeting, if you don't go, your father won't die, it's all your fault!" After saying that, he cried again, Biaozi heard her say this, so he went to ask the old leper, and the old leper said, "It's really evil, not long after dark, your father was chatting with us at my house, and was talking about you, your father said that you are not filial, go to that kind of evil place, at this time, many dogs in the village barked again, and they are getting closer and closer, we look at the door, the dogs are almost at my door, all bark at my house, at this time your father suddenly stood up, and walked out, all the dogs barked at your father, and your father went home, The dog barked and followed, and we thought something was wrong with him, so we followed. ”

At this time, Biaozi's mother stopped crying and said to Biaozi, "When your father came back, his face was wrong, and he walked hard, and he didn't respond when I called him, and then he took a rope, and I asked him what he was doing with the rope!" He didn't say anything, he walked directly into the room, I followed him, and saw your father desperately strangling his neck with a rope, I was frightened, and rushed over to grab the rope, your father's strength was surprisingly great, and it was cold, I couldn't grab it, at this time your leper uncle came, and also helped, but was thrown out by your father, and then your father fell on the bed motionless, and the village chief went to call you, and after a while you came. ”
