The night before yesterday, Pei Zhanqiu, who was asleep, suddenly heard his wife's voice: "Zhanqiu, Zhanqiu!" Come and save me! ”

He shouted loudly and asked, "Hong'e, Hong'e, where are you?" ”：

"I'm in the compound, it's so cold here! I'm scared! The wife's voice seemed to come from another world, empty and cold.

Pei Zhanqiu raised his eyes and saw that there was a large courtyard with a high wall in front of him, and his wife's voice came from the courtyard.

Pei Zhanqiu crossed the high fence, and he saw a woman locked in a large iron cage, holding the iron fence with both hands. There was not a single piece of skin on her naked body, but there was no blood to be seen, and the pink flesh seemed to be wrapped in an invisible film.

Pei Zhanqiu was startled, looked at her in a daze, and couldn't say a word.

The woman stretched out her hands from the cage and beckoned to him: "Zhanqiu, don't you know me?" I'm Gu Hong'e! ”

"Hong'e! How could you be? What about your skin? ”

Pei Zhanqiu hurriedly reached out to pull her hand.

At this time, a big wolf dog guarding the outside of the cage suddenly jumped up, barked "Wangwang", and opened its bloody mouth.

Pei Zhanqiu was so frightened that he took a step back, but unexpectedly stepped on the air and fell into the bottomless abyss......

Pei Zhanqiu woke up suddenly.

It turned out to be a nightmare.

Did something really happen to my wife? Pei Zhanqiu began to feel uneasy. Pei Zhanqiu, who originally believed in ghosts and gods, couldn't hold his breath anymore this time, and at eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, he came to the house of a somewhat famous god mother in a neighboring village.

He knocked cautiously on the door, unsure whether the god mother would be able to open the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as I knocked on it for the third time, the door opened. A strong smell of smoke hit his face, choking him.

Under the dim light of the room, an old woman with a girl was reverently inviting the pen fairy under the guidance of the god mother and mother, and Pei Zhanqiu waited anxiously.

"Say, I'll listen......" After sending the old woman and the girl away, Mother Shen lit a pot of dry tobacco, put the cigarette pouch in her mouth, and glanced at Pei Zhanqiu.

"I had a dream......"

Pei Zhanqiu briefly talked about the disappearance of his wife and the situation when he saw his wife in his dream. And according to the market at that time, he put a few copper plates on the incense table, and then his eyes kept looking eagerly at the god mother.

Mother Shen swept the copper plate from the corner of her eye, lit a handful of incense, and inserted it in the incense burner to watch.

"Your wife is really stuck in something."

Shen Ma Er Ma Er pointed to the fastest burning incense stick in the middle and said, "You see that all around it, there is a high incense, like a barrier, trapping her in the middle. ”

Pei Zhanqiu: "Which direction?" ”

"In the northeast!"

"Can you be specific?"

"Do you have a lot of incense?" Mother Shen glanced at Pei Zhanqiu.

"Yes, and!" Pei Zhanqiu put a handful of copper plates on the incense case.

"From the incense, you can only see the general and direction. To be more detailed, you can only ask the pen fairy. It's the dead of night, and it's a good time for you to come. ”

Mother Shen brought a piece of paper and a pencil, spread the paper on the incense case, and asked Pei Zhanqiu to sit in front of the incense case, with the backs of the two hands staggered, with a pen in the middle.

I only heard the mouth of the god mother and mother say: "Pen fairy pen fairy come quickly, it is the house you draw a frame, it is the yard you draw a circle, how far you use the Tao to express it." ”

Pei Zhanqiu only felt that his hand was shaking slightly, and the pen kept drawing on the paper with the shaking of his hand.

A few minutes later, the god mother said again: "Pen Fairy, is it here today, okay?" And said, "Goodbye!" ”

After stopping, the god mother pointed to the paper and said, "Look at this paper, there are circles and boxes, which means that your wife is trapped in a house with a large courtyard, ten miles away from here. ”

Pei Zhanqiu: "Northeast? ”

God Mother Child: "According to the incense, it should be." ”

Pei Zhanqiu's head exploded when he heard this: northeast direction, ten miles away, big courtyard...... Isn't this the branch compound!

Thinking of the doctor Zhi who his wife shouted in his sleep, Pei Zhanqiu was convinced. Regardless of the cold and snowy road, I came here step by step.

"I came here in the dark, and I wanted to climb up the wall and watch the courtyard in the dark to see if there was a wife." Pei Zhanqiu said bitterly:

"The wall is so high that I can't go up. After turning around, I found a broken gap with a few stones.

"I went up to the wall through a crack in the stone, and as soon as I went up, I didn't think that a stone came loose and threw me inside.

"At that time, the dog was still on a leash, and when he heard the movement, he barked. Immediately a servant came and brought me to the doctor.

"I've met Dr. Zhi and I know each other well. He asked me why I had come into the courtyard, and I told him what I was here for.

"Dr. Zhi said to me very politely: 'I have seen a lot of patients, and none of them have come back to find anyone. Now that you're here, you can look around in my courtyard and look for it. ”

So he let the old servant lead him around the compound, and let him look into the conservatory, and the courtyard where the ladies lived, but he saw nothing.

He wanted to go back, but Dr. Zhi didn't let him, saying that it was dark, icy and snowy, and the road was not easy to walk. Let him stay in the compound for the night and leave again tomorrow.

Pei Zhanqiu thought about the purpose of his coming, and in order to further investigate, he agreed.

The dinner was accompanied by Dr. Zhi, and it was very hearty. After dinner, he was placed in a very warm room. The bedding is very neat.

Pei Zhanqiu was moved, scolded himself in his heart for being suspicious, and dispelled the idea of continuing to investigate. I want to sleep here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning.

After walking more than ten miles of snowy roads, he was also tired, and the house was warm again, and he soon fell asleep.

He had a nightmare.

He dreamed that his wife, covered in blood, cried to him that she was imprisoned in a small dark room by Dr. Zhi and could not get out. Let him save her.

He asked where the little dark room where she was being held was located, and his wife said that it was in this compound. He asked for the exact direction again, and his wife suddenly disappeared. He said hello and woke up.

He felt that this dream was strange, his wife's bloody figure had been shaking in front of his eyes, and he felt that his wife was not far from his house.

Thinking of the matter of seeing incense and inviting pen fairies at the god's mother's house, he felt that it was by no means a coincidence, but that his wife was indeed here.

He didn't want to miss this one chance again, so he got dressed and walked out with all his might. I want to take advantage of the fact that Dr. Zhi's family is asleep, and then look carefully everywhere. The time the servant led the way to see it was actually a matter of watching the flowers.

What he never expected was that the watchdog was spread out at night. He had not taken a few steps out of the house when the black dog pounced on him and bit him.

At this moment, Qi Xiaoting and the others arrived.

"If it weren't for you, I would have been bitten to death!" Pei Zhanqiu said movingly.

Pei Zhanqiu was saved.

What kind of fur Zhi Fulu is has not yet seen, and Xiaohuzi's resurrection from the dead has put a mallet in his eyes, and Qi Xiaoting does not want to further intensify the contradiction.

Where to send him next, so as not to expose himself and Li Hong? Qi Xiaoting fell into deep thought.

"What happens if you get him into space?" Qi Xiaoting passed on the sound of Long Yi.

Ryuichi: "He will sleep all the time, which is very bad for his health." Once you wake up, the secrets of space cannot be saved. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "What should I do then?" It's not okay to send him home, first, it's not safe, once we tell the story of saving him, we will also be exposed! ”

Ryuichi: "It's better to send him to the inn where you stayed, the farther away the better." Leave him enough money to pick him up when this side stops, or when we leave. Again, he said, it's already an outdated topic. ”

Qi Xiaoting thinks about it, and this is the only way.

"If you run, Zhi Fulu must have doubts. If his wife were to be killed by him, you would not be safe in your house. Qi Xiaoting said to Pei Zhanqiu:

"I'll send you to a safer place, and you'll stay there a little longer. I'll send you another letter to your home, saying that you're going to work outside. What do you think? ”

Pei Zhanqiu moved his arms and legs, and felt fine; I touched my face that had been gnawed by the dog, and it was already scabbed, and it didn't hurt much.

Pei Zhanqiu knew that he had met a capable person or a fairy, so he was so moved that he turned over and kowtowed three times to Qi Xiaoting and Li Hong. He said, "Benefactor, you are doing this for my own good, and I will listen to you in everything." ”

Qi Xiaoting instructed Li Hong to guard the old camp and pay attention to the movements on both sides.

He went to the space again and called Jiao Na out and told her about Long Yi's plan. Let her recall the inns she passed by and see where it would be more appropriate to go.

Before leaving, he blindfolded Pei Zhanqiu and instructed him: No matter what the situation is, don't tell what happened tonight. That's not good for you and it's not good for us.

Pei Zhanqiu nodded again and again, and said in a loud voice: "Don't say it, don't say it, you must not say it!" ”

The "Boom" drop that makes a Jiaona laugh!

Jiaona's child has a temperament and a big playful heart, and she is happy as long as she is called to soar through the clouds. Qi Xiaoting said to her, she was so happy. In just an instant, it flew more than 500 miles.

The inn used to stay and the owner still had an impression of them and received them warmly.

Qi Xiaoting put down the two ingots of silver and said to the boss: "The time is not fixed, and when the time comes, more will be refunded and less will be compensated." Guests must take good care of me, if you are satisfied, there will be another reward! ”

The owner of the shop wrote that the last time I only stayed for one night, I not only paid more for the room, but also left a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, all of which are new varieties that are rare in the market and cannot be bought for much money. Only nodded frequently with joy.

"Even though you live here, you don't have to pay for food and drink. I'll pick you up when your wife has news. Qi Xiaoting said to Pei Zhanqiu.

Pei Zhanqiu: "Benefactor, how long do I have to stay here?" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "It's hard to say now. I hope you settle down and live here. ”
