Immediately afterward, Tofu immediately noticed that something was wrong and pointed at him and shouted, "Why are cultivators still hunting? ”

The man replied in a strange tone, "Why can't you hunt?" Did I say I was a tantra? In this Sichuan-Tibet border zone, Tibetan Buddhism is the mainstay, traditional Buddhism is also available, and Taoism is secondary, but even so, it is all about not killing, what is this person practicing?

Tofu muttered, "Is it some kind of cult? ”

I was about to answer, but the man had already begun to live, and he also took out a Tibetan knife and began to cut the yellow mutton. He sliced the yellow lamb into slices and roasted it on the fire, and above the wooden house was a simple chimney, most of the oil smoke drifted into the chimney, and a small part swirled around the room, so that we could smell the gradually rising aroma of meat more clearly.

While roasting the meat, he said, "It's getting dark, this place is dangerous at night, you can spend the night with me, but I have to charge a fee." The tofu monster screamed, ran over, squatted beside the man, and said, "Do you still have to charge?" Are you a monk or not? Well, even if you don't leave home, do you still need money in this deep mountain and old forest? As he spoke, the man reached out and took out something white from a clay pot and sprinkled it on the mutton, which was supposed to be table salt, and the fragrance was even stronger.

He replied to Tofu, "You need money to buy these things." ”

At this time, Hu Ye came forward and said: "Thank you for your kindness, we have our own tent, and we don't need to borrow it from you." As he spoke, he frowned and gestured to the crowd, signaling us to leave and not approach this strange man again. Tofu smashed his mouth, stared at the golden and fragrant yellow mutton roasted on the simple iron shelf, and swallowed his saliva.

When the practitioner saw this, he put a piece of meat the size of an adult's palm with a wooden stick and handed it to Tofu, apparently with the intention of treating, but he didn't keep us, nodded and said, "Bring the door shut." We left the hut, and Tofu couldn't wait to bite into the meat, grinning at the scalded meat, and finally had to blow on the freshly grilled meat, saying as he blew, "This person looks good." ”

I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and said, "Whoever gives you food is a good person, right?" ”

The big yellow duck snorted and said, "That man is weird, while killing living beings, he calls himself a cultivator, and he has a strange stature, he seems to have foreign blood, I don't think it's good." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Hu Ye what to do, Hu Ye looked at the sky, due to this delay, it was already very late, he frowned, and said, "We have been discovered, there is no need to detour, let's camp here." ”

We found a flat place, cleaned up the fallen leaves on the ground, gathered a large amount of firewood for later use, lit a bonfire, set up a tent, ate some dry food, and went to sleep in shifts. It was still me and Tofu in one shift, two hours more, and the rest of the people were on guard for an hour and a half.

I was tired from the day, and with the accident of last night, I don't have any energy at this time, but Tofu dozed off yesterday since the vigil, and slept all night, and my spirit is not tired. When he saw me yawning, he patted his chest and said, "Go to sleep, I'll be alone." ”

I said, "I won't believe you until I'm brain-dead." ”

Tofu was very depressed and said, "I don't know the hearts of good people, forget it, then you can take a nap by the fire." You have to trust your peers, you know? Grandpa Dou is also an old man, what do you think of me. When he said this, I thought to myself, but I didn't feel comfortable going into the tent, so I took a nap by the fire. As soon as the eyes were closed, he fell asleep not long after.

Although I thought about taking a nap, I was so tired that I almost fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly someone started shaking me, and while shaking, he said, "Lao, Lao, wake up." "It's the sound of tofu, but the voice is a little weird, like crying. I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw that the tofu was extremely close to me, and his whole body was shrunk, which was very strange.

I shook my head to sober myself up, and immediately looked around, but I didn't see anything. Looking at Tofu's frightened expression, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you an old man?" Don't shrink your head, what's wrong? ”

Tofu swallowed his saliva and said, "Listen, do you hear any strange sounds?" ”

When I listened with my ears, I could only hear the unknown chirping of birds in the darkness, and the rest, as for the strange sounds, I did not hear them for a while. Immediately afterward, Tofu pointed in the direction to my left and said, "I heard someone's laughter just now, and when I looked at that position, I saw a big figure running past." ”

I said to myself, how can there be anyone in the middle of the night? Not to mention running to our side to laugh, don't you have enough to eat? When I asked Tofu if he was the practitioner, Tofu shook his head, his voice trembling a little, and said, "It's a child, I only see a back, my head is bare and my hair doesn't grow, and my clothes are also black." ”

Child?

How can there be children in this place?

I wondered if Tofu was wrong, but when I saw his frightened look, I felt that it was wrong. Although tofu is timid, it is not timid to this extent. At this time, Tofu lowered his voice and said cautiously: "You say...... Could it be...... Got soft rice dumplings? ”

I said, "In this place, even if there are soft rice dumplings, there should be no children." Although it is backward here, its spiritual beliefs are pure, and the proportion of abandoned babies is very small, even if there are really children who have become soft zongzi, they should not appear in this place. ”

Tofu said nervously: "Then what should I do?" I got up, said to observe for a while, talking, by the way looked at the watch on my wrist, this time, my eyes closed and opened, I didn't feel anything, it was just more than two hours later, and it was time to change shifts in half an hour.

I raised the campfire a little, and in the darkness I could only hear the crackling of firewood, and nothing else. For a while, even Tofu himself wondered if he was dazzled, seeing that the time for the shift change was approaching, I asked Tofu to call the big yellow duck to take over, Tofu just turned around, and I caught a glimpse of the corner of my eye, and the position he pointed to me before, suddenly a thing popped out.

It was about four or five years old, with a bare head, with its back to us, and at the same time I heard a giggling laugh in my ears, like some child was laughing.

It's out!

It seems that Tofu is not mistaken, I didn't say a word, I immediately chased after it, and with a clasp of my wrist, I pinched a flying knife, and because the distance was not far, I almost didn't need to aim, and shot out. The reason why I dare to kill the killer so badly is because I know that this elusive thing is definitely not a child, and it is something unclean.

As soon as I threw the knife out, the thing suddenly became shorter and disappeared from my sight. The blow caused the knife to be nailed to a tree, and at that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind me: "What are you doing?" ”

I turned my head and saw that it was lazy.

He looked at me, then at the shiny silver knife in the tree, obviously waiting for me to answer. Tofu reacted and immediately said: "There is a child, eighty percent is an unclean thing, Lao Chen is dealing with it,"

The lazy man frowned, pointed to the flying knife, and said lightly: "I only heard its sound, and I didn't hear anything else." ”

I remembered the extremely high vigilance of the lazy people, and suddenly reacted: yes, if there is really movement, how can the lazy people only find out now? Could it be that only Tofu and I heard the laughter," At this time, Tofu seemed to think of something, lowered his voice and said, "That thing kept running with its back to us, as if it was trying to lead us somewhere." ”

The sound of the three of us whispering made Hu Ye and the big yellow duck wake up. The big yellow duck yawned and said, "In the middle of the night, what are you tossing, something happened?" ”

Tofu said, "There seems to be something unclean." ”

The big yellow duck looked stunned, glanced at the tofu with a strange expression, and said, "Impossible, do you know what Hu Ye used to do." This made me and Tofu stunned at the same time, is there any relationship between the two?

The big yellow duck seemed to want to explain, but at this time, Hu Ye waved his hand and looked at the location where the flying knife was shot, and at this time, he said, "It's the location of the wooden house." "At this moment, the night is very dark, the wooden house has no bonfire, and it is also swallowed by the night, Hu Ye reminded me that it is indeed the same as the location of the wooden house.

Tofu immediately said: "That person also reminded us before that it was dangerous at night here, could this be the case?" ”

Hu Ye didn't say a word, and said, "Let's go, go and see." "Looks like he's going into the cabin. I thought of what the big yellow duck didn't finish, and I couldn't help but wonder: What did the big yellow duck mean by what he said just now?

What did Hu Ye do before, and what does it have to do with those unclean things?
