Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Night of Spying
After washing our hands, Chu Xiaotu and I left Da Xian's residence and returned to the bamboo building where the guests were received.
After sending the man to the door, the old woman bowed to us and took her leave.
As I said before, this old woman who led us on her way was a little shy or uncomfortable when she interacted with people, and she felt like a little girl.
However, when she appeared outside the latrine, I still startled her.
At that time, her face was expressionless, and the coldness in her eyes was still very consistent with her appearance and age at the moment.
I had the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.
So along the way, I was thinking about one thing, that is, Ah Da handed me straw paper, was it seen by this woman?
And if she sees it, will she find the strangeness and clues in it?
I thought back for a while, thinking that although there was blurry handwriting on the paper, it had been "processed" by me like that, maybe they could still pry open the latrine and stir it out?
No way.
When I think about it, I feel a little calmer, and then I feel a little excited.
Yes, it's exciting.
Because of Ah Da's request for help, I knew one thing, that is, the men here, not all of them are as stupid as Ma Yiao.
Someone is no longer under the control of the Falling Flower Cave Girl and has begun to try to contact outsiders.
This is a good sign.
We may be able to learn from Ah Da's mouth what kind of big secret is hidden in this village called Dugui.
And this secret not only involves the Falling Flower Cave Girl, but also involves the awakening and return of Ma Yiao.
This is so important to us.
As for what soul rejuvenation grass, eight-step flower and rama leaf or something, and the ghosts of the land of extreme yin, etc., what kind of feudal superstition is used to deceive me, what is the idea?
Although I didn't eat much, I received too much information and needed to discuss it with others.
Chu Xiaotu and I returned to the bamboo building and found that there was no one in the hall.
This situation scared me, why did I shout loudly: "Little Tiger, Little Tiger......"
I was afraid of being broken by the girls of the Falling Flower Cave, so I took advantage of the fact that Chu Xiaotu and I went to the banquet and brought Xiaohu and Yueniang away, but fortunately, after a few sounds, Xiaohu's response came from the side west wing: "Here." ”
It turned out that he had moved into the room.
I breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the room, and as soon as I entered, I saw Yueniang lying on the bamboo bed, disheveled, and Xiaohu's clothes were also very messy.
I was a little frightened, and I couldn't help but say, "Young man, you just ...... this"
Xiaohu was very embarrassed, hurriedly waved his hand, and said no, it's not what you imagined, I, I'm actually just......
Chu Xiaotu "giggled" and said that it was okay, young man, fiery, beauty in front, can't bear it, it's normal to have a shot, but the matter of men and women is about mutual affection, you love me, you tie people to the bed, and the overlord is hard to bow, this is your fault.
When she said the back, her face couldn't help but be covered with frost.
Clearly, she is very open to men and women.
But it's still very sensitive to such things as forcing women's will.
Xiaohu saw that the matter was getting bigger, and hurriedly explained: "It's really not what you imagined, just now there was a gust of wind chimes ringing, Yueniang suddenly woke up, making a lot of noise, I was afraid of being heard by outsiders, so I blocked her mouth with a cloth, but I didn't expect her to resist desperately, tore my clothes, and took off my own clothes, I just subdued her, and ruthlessly tied her up and knocked her out, and you came in." ”
Hearing his nervous explanation, I didn't tease anymore, but said seriously: "You mean, she woke up when she heard a gust of wind chimes?" ”
Xiaohu saw that I believed him, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said yes.
I said where did it come from?
Xiaohu recalled, pointed in the direction behind the village, and said there.
I followed his finger, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "That's the place where the lump died." ”
Chu Xiaotu also came back to his senses: "That place, is there a problem?" ”
I nodded, and said that the secret may come from the back mountain, including the Falling Flower Cave Girl, and the reason why Brother Ma and them fell into a state of amnesia, all in the back mountain, where they called the Lump Death.
Chu Xiaotu looked at me and said that you promised the old witch today, saying that we will go to the back mountain early tomorrow morning.
I nodded, smiled wryly and said, "What else?" Without this delaying tactic, today's Hongmen banquet is estimated to come up directly and take us down. ”
Xiaohu didn't understand a little and asked what was going on.
Chu Xiaotu told him what happened at the banquet just now, and after listening to it, Xiaohu was a little puzzled, saying that since they have enough strength to take us, why don't they do it yet, but wait until tomorrow and let us set off for Houshan?
I've actually figured it out, and said that I don't do it now, for two reasons, one is that they want to be foolproof, and they are afraid of accidents, and second, they want us to become slaves.
Chu Xiaotu then replied, saying that the secret of becoming a slave is in the back mountain.
Xiaohu asked me, "So what should we do?"
I took a deep breath and talked to them about what I had encountered with Ah Da for help, and after listening, Xiaohu became a little excited.
He said that if this is the case, the mystery will be solved, Ah Da seems to have been in this ghost place for a long time, so he will gradually get out of control and regain his senses, and he should know a lot about this place, as long as we can contact him, all the secrets will be solved.
I nodded and said without further ado, it's tonight.
Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said that you should take a look outside first.
Yes?
I was stunned for a moment and whispered, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiaohu said that you may not have noticed when you came, in fact, after we moved here, there were people lurking and watching in the three places outside the bamboo building, and our every move was watched by people, and we couldn't get out at all.
I hesitated for a moment and said are you sure it's three?
Xiaohu shook his head and said that what I observed was in three places, and what was not observed, it is estimated that there are still others.
When I heard it, the whole being fell into great sorrow.
Obviously, as long as you take one step forward, you can solve the mystery.
But we can't break the deadlock.
Because once the balance is broken, what we will face is the huge pressure of the Falling Flower Cave Girls, and in the face of these guys, we have no chance of winning at all.
What to do?
Just when we were all worried, Chu Xiaotu next to me suddenly said, "I'm coming." ”
Yes?
I looked at her and said you're coming? How do you get out of such a net?
Chu Xiaotu winked at me, and then said with a smile: "Mountain people have their own clever plans, how I do it, I don't need you to worry about it." ”
In response to the task, Chu Xiaotu instructed us: "After I leave, you wait patiently here, if I am caught, you must not save me, you must find a way to escape from here and find powerful foreign aid, otherwise it will be just the two of you, it will not be enough to stuff people's teeth, you know?" ”
We nodded and said yes.
After Chu Xiaotu saw that we agreed, she asked us to pretend and go back to the room, and she also went back to the room.
After a while, I heard a small movement in the next room, not a person, but like a tanuki, and then the movement fell under the floor, and then there was no sound.
I was a little confused at first, and then I remembered the black cat boy I had met in Pengcheng before.
Everything suddenly opened up.
Chu Xiaotu revealed his true appearance, and then with the change of his transformation, he broke away from the surveillance.
This was unexpected, but would she be able to hide it from the watchers outside?
Will she be able to find Ah Da?
I was worried, and I felt a huge pressure in such a strange mountain village, facing all kinds of strange things.
In addition to the pressure, what I also felt was my own weakness.
If I can "the golden monkey rises up a thousand sticks, and the jade Yu clarifies thousands of miles", and my cultivation is earth-shattering, then how can these ghosts and ghosts become obstacles to me?
So cranky, time ticks by, and the moon shifts.
From the first watch day to the fourth watch day, there was no movement outside, and the entire Dugui Village hidden in the depths of the Black Wind Gully was like a ghost.
Nothing but the chirping of insects and the sudden call of owls in the night sky.
Chu Xiaotu never came back.
Xiaohu and I stayed in the room where Yueniang was lying, and the two of us were anxious.
As a young man, Xiaohu's patience is not strong, and when the sky is about to be numb, he finally couldn't help it, Huo Ran stood up and said to me: "Grandpa said a word, it was said by a great man, no longer break out in silence, just die in silence, can't wait any longer, Sister Xiaotu must have had an accident, let's go!" ”
I reached out and stopped him, saying firmly, "Don't mess with yourself. ”
Xiaohu was a little annoyed, I don't know how many times this conversation was repeated this night, he couldn't bear it, and said to me: "If you are afraid, stay here, I will go out by myself......"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard in the hallway outside.
Then, there was a squeak in the door, but it was Chu Xiaotu, who was covered in dew, who touched it back.
We were all very excited and went forward to ask, but Chu Xiaotu told us that she had been touching all night and had been found several times, but she had not found Ah Da.
She told us about the experience of the night, and although she walked a rough way, she always felt that someone was watching and did not dare to move.
She spent most of the night lying on her stomach outside the bamboo building.
I didn't find anyone, which was very depressing, a few of us chatted about countermeasures, and before we knew it, it was dawn, and the old lady named Xiao Jiu'er came to the door and said that she had made an appointment yesterday and went to collect medicine.
We didn't dare to refuse, and we went out the door.
Xiaohu still carried Yueniang on his back, and the group went out of the door, walking more than ten meters, but saw a man who had never seen him before, carrying a dung bucket and walking along the path.
That dung picker is not Ah Da.
