Chapter 10: The Moon and Night Sacrifice (3)

After waiting for a long time, but not hearing the cry again, I breathed a sigh of relief: I thought I must have reacted quickly, and the ghost did not notice me, and went to find the prey again. Just as he was cautiously turning around and preparing to slip away, he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him: "What are you doing......

Oh my god~! I couldn't hold on any longer, and my legs went limped and I fell to the ground. Closed his eyes tightly and kowtowed desperately in the direction he just said and begged for mercy: "Great immortal, spare your life, the villain strayed into the precious treasure, and it is really an unintentional move." Please let go of the small one! Nan no Amitabha, Nan Mo Shakyamuni, Relief of Suffering, Salvation of Suffering, Goddess of Mercy, Virgin Mary, God Yahweh, Almighty Zeus, King of the Gods, Odin, please bless me with peace and sound, the villain did not kill anyone, did not set fire, usually obeyed the law, cared for public property, ate less than cats and did more than cats, diligent, hard-working, courageous, loyal to the liver, loyal to the Lord...... "I chattered and incoherently broken thoughts, for fear that as soon as I stopped, that terrible ghost would immediately kill me.

"There are a lot of advantages!" The voice replied to me.

"Yes, I don't have anything else to do with the villain, but there are a lot of advantages, so you must be aware of everything and don't hurt the good guy!" I didn't dare to raise my head or open my eyes to answer.

"Didn't find it."

"Daxian doesn't spend much time with villains, so I don't know if it's reasonable. I forgot to mention just now, in fact, among all the advantages of villains, the most famous is loyalty and honesty, so I will never lie. I couldn't stop shaking, and my words turned into trills.

"It's been a year, how come I haven't found out your loyalty?"

Oh, my God! Have I been followed by this ghost for a year!? This terrible news scared me so much that I just wanted to run away. But how do you run with your eyes closed? It's not that I'm timid, it's that I really don't dare to look at it. I shudder when I think back to the scene where the ghost appeared in the movie, and if I saw the real version, I guess I would faint on the spot! But I really can't run without seeing the road, and I gritted my teeth and opened one eye.

Hey? How to have a pair of shoes? Didn't you say that ghosts don't have feet? Am I mistaken? I had the courage to look up, and I saw a young man in white standing under the moon, looking at me with bright eyes, and his handsome face was full of ridicule.

"Shizi!?" I swooped up from the ground and exclaimed angrily, "I've said it all, people are scared to death!" How many times are you going to play!? Slaves are also human lives, do you have to scare me to death to be happy! Don't go too far! ”

"I can't even tell my voice! As soon as I open my mouth, you will kneel down and kowtow and talk nonsense, is this also my fault? He asked coldly, ignoring my accusations.

Even if I count my face structure, I was also blushing when he asked. I naturally knew that all of this was a mistake in judgment due to my own preconceived fears. But I was unwilling to bow my head to him and admit my mistake, so the dead duck said stiffly: "If you don't come out, there will be nothing!" Why do you sleep and run around at night? ”

Shizi half-squinted his eyes and asked, "Then what are you running around in the middle of the night?" ”

"I ......" I was about to explain, but was interrupted by another cry in the wind, and suddenly fear won an overwhelming victory, and I stumbled and asked, "Shizi, you... You.... What do you hear... Didn't you? ”

Shizi frowned slightly, and looked ahead with a serious face: "Someone is crying!" ”

Oh, my God! Don't let people live! It turned out that it was not the son of the world, and there was indeed something 'stuff' at work. My whole body trembled with fright, and I suddenly shrank behind the son.

"Ghost ...... Host... Child. I was so frightened that my tongue seemed to be knotted, and it took me a long time to say these three words.

Shizi waved his hand to silence me, and after listening for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Go and see." ”

What the!? Crazy? I can't run away now, and I have to send it to the door myself!? Is it too long!? "Don't go!" I shrank back and shook my head desperately: "I don't want to go!" ”

Shizi glanced at me with the rest of his eyes, turned around and walked away without speaking.

"Don't!" I grabbed the corner of his coat in horror. There's an eerie atmosphere, a gust of wind, and more importantly, there's 'that thing' lurking out of nowhere! When he leaves, am I going to be in danger alone!?

Shizi looked at me coldly and grabbed the hand at the corner of his clothes, and said, "Let go." ”

Seeing his resolute appearance, I knew that I would definitely not be able to keep him. So do I choose to stay where I am alone or be a daredevils with him?

"Master, it's too dangerous for you to be alone, let's go with you!" I hesitated for a moment and loosened the corners of Shizi's clothes.

I remember that there are many demons and monsters in Journey to the West, who caught Tang Seng not for food, but because they coveted his beauty and wanted to live and fly with him. In case of...... What's that, it must be more than enough to charm some 'aliens' with the appearance of the prince, and then I'll be smart, as long as I don't take the opportunity to slip away, it must be safer!

Shizi didn't object, I hid behind him obscenely, carefully looking in the direction of the cry. After a while, Shizi suddenly stopped, bent down and whispered in my ear, "The sound came from behind the bushes. ”

I poked my head out from behind him, and sure enough, there was a bush in front of me, and there was a very clear crying sound coming from inside, my neck shrank in fear, and my body took a few steps back: "Master, please ...... first."

Shizi looked at my actions contemptuously, and his slender eyes were slightly raised: "This is what you just said about righteousness, courage and loyalty, and loyalty to the Lord?" ”

It's a matter of life and death, what kind of hero is it?! Besides, I'm a woman, so it's natural that I can't be a hero. I replied cheekily: "Yes, master, you can rest assured to see, the minions are behind to help you cover, and any danger is blocked by the minions!" ”

The cold light in the eyes of the prince flashed, and I withstood the pressure and carried it hard, maintaining my righteousness.

"You said that a slave is also a human life, how can I put you in danger?" Shizi suddenly grabbed my hand and stopped me from retreating, "So......" He lowered his head and stared into my eyes, and his beautiful eyes bent: "Let's go together!" ”

Nani!? When have you ever been so obedient? When have you ever been so kind? Why did you suddenly open your eyes at this juncture and your conscience exploded!? "Master, the slave is wrong, you shouldn't talk nonsense with the master! Just be sorry for your old man, okay? Please let me go~! ”

Unfortunately, he completely ignored my wails, and his pace did not slow down in the slightest. I was dragged directly by him to the bushes, and I saw him push away the bushes without hesitation, and then I heard a scream from the bushes, and my fragile nerves could no longer stand the stimulation, and I subconsciously closed my eyes and pretended to faint.

"Who are you? Why here? Shizi's cold voice sounded.

"I ......" a childish voice cried out: "I want to go home......"

Hey? How is it not the coquettish voice of a beautiful woman? It seems that the monsters are also keeping pace with the times, and the patterns have been renovated and the variety is more complete!

Seeing that I was still trembling on the ground and didn't dare to open my eyes, Shizi let go of his hand and kicked me with his shoes: "Don't play dead, it's a child!" ”

Child? I opened my eyes and got up from the ground, and looked at us vigilantly: I saw a boy of about six or seven years old crouching on the ground, with big eyes full of tears, looking at us pitifully, and more importantly: he had a pair of feet! I'm completely relieved, as long as it's not a ghost, everything is easy to say!

"Don't cry," I said, pulling the boy up, wiping the tears and dirt from his face with my sleeve, and said gently, "What's your name?" Is it lost? ”

"My name is Huzi," the boy said to me timidly, sobbing, "I can't find my way home, my mother is still waiting for me at home......

It turned out that this child named Huzi lived in Lotus Village at the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, and during the day, because she heard that there were big people in the city coming, the people would come to watch and join in the fun, so she brought her mother's snacks to call. When I went back, I got lost because of the trail, and I'm still trapped here.

"Brother, I want to go home." Huzi kept tearing down his eyes and tugging at my clothes, and said earnestly.

"Okay, don't cry, I'll take you home now!" In my previous life, I carried too many tears in my childhood, so the last thing I wanted to see was the crying faces of my children. I took his hand and was bound to go down the mountain.

"Wrong." Shizi's voice suddenly sounded.

"Master!" I turned my head and shouted at him unhappily: "What did I do wrong when I sent Huzi home!" Can you bear to see such a small child alone and unable to return home!? ”

Shizi's face was calm: "The direction is wrong!" According to the local annals, the village of Lotus is located in the south of Lingxiao Mountain. You just walked east. ”

"Oh." It seems that he is to blame," Master Xie pointed out. "Pick up the tiger and go in the other direction.

"That's the north side!"

I'll change! Find another direction and walk through again!

"That's the West!"

I'm sweating profusely, dead hole, dead hole! Since I was a child, I had a strange sense of direction, I couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and when I was in college, I was "lost" on campus many times, and my roommates found someone to cry on their backs. Even during the geography exam, I was stunned to fill in South Korea on the map of Africa, and gave the teacher the nickname of 'Han Feizi', which really made me speechless and hold 'sweat' for life!

Seeing me struggling blindly like a headless fly, Shizi shook his head and said helplessly: "Let the guards send him down the mountain tomorrow morning!" ”

Although I am sorry, considering that with my unique navigation performance, it is very likely that I will never return to the mountains with Huzi, so I have no choice but to say to Huzi: "Let's rest for the night and have someone take you home tomorrow morning!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Huzi cried and begged bitterly: "Brother, I will definitely go home tonight, please, my mother is home alone, I will worry about death...... I'm going home......"

I touched his head and remembered a time when I was a child when I went to the park and was accidentally sent home: my mother was about to break down and held me for a long time and refused to let go. Now I will never be lost again, but that warm embrace will never go back......

After being silent for a while, I made up my mind: "Huzi, I will definitely send you home tonight!" ”

"But......" Huzi looked at me, his eyes full of worry, obviously seriously questioning my abilities.

"Don't worry," I grinned, "Brother, my sense of direction is a little bit off, but that brother is very good," I pointed to Shizi, "he will definitely be able to send Huzi home." ”

I looked at Shizi with a smile on my face. Who knew that the son of the world was the son of the world, and cold-blooded was cold-blooded, he even pretended to leave without seeing it, and completely ignored me.

"Master!" I hurriedly stopped in front of him, dragged Huzi over, and looked at him with tears in my eyes: "This kid misses his mother, and his mother can't get news at home, so he must be so anxious!" Slave begs you to be well, and we will send him back together." ”

Under my inducement, Huzi immediately understood that the key to whether he could go home smoothly was in Shizi, and tears were also flowing down, looking at him with blank eyes.

Shizi looked at me, and then at Huzi. He sighed before he finally said, "Let's go!" ”

Huzi and I looked at each other in surprise and smiled, followed quickly behind Shizi, and set foot on the road to Lotus Village.

The mountain road at night was very difficult to walk, and we walked for more than an hour before finally arriving at Lotus Village. As soon as I entered the village, I saw a very dilapidated thatched hut in front of a village woman who was leaning on the door and looking around anxiously. When Huzi saw it, he shouted: "Mother", and rushed over.

I was surprised to find that Hu Zi Niang only had one leg, and the thin Hu Zi wanted to pick her up from the ground, but after several attempts to no avail. I hurried over to help her into the house.

Huzi Niang is very grateful to us for sending Huzi back overnight, and she has to kneel down and kowtow several times. From her words of gratitude, I learned about the family's misfortune: in an earthquake, Huzi's father was tragically killed and died, and Huziniang lost a leg. Now only this mother and son depend on each other, because Huzi Niang is disabled and in poor health, can not work and farm, can only make some snacks at home, usually Huzi goes out to call for some small money to barely survive.

The shabby furniture and airy walls in the house show the hardships of life everywhere, but the warmth of the mother and son smiling at each other in front of them is so real......

I felt a sour feeling in my heart, and I looked back at Shizi and found that he was looking at Huzi's mother and son in a trance, and there seemed to be something in his eyes.

Huzi smiled sweetly, this smile was so innocent and happy...... It would be nice if you could keep that smile...... Thinking about Hu Ziniang's condition and the prospects of this family, my heart became very heavy. How great would it be if there was something I could do?

After thinking about it, I took out the ten taels of silver that I had taken from Xiao Hou Ye during the day: "Auntie, I hear you always cough, there is some silver here, you go find a doctor to take a look!" ”

"No," Huzi Niang panicked: "The two benefactors helped me send Huzi back, I can't repay this kindness, how can I take your silver for nothing?" ”

"Auntie, it's okay, it's fate that we can meet Huzi." I put the silver on the table: "You should cherish your body yourself!" Huzi is still young and needs your care, you are not only living alone, but supporting a family! ”

"But......" could see that my words had shaken her a little, but this simple woman still did not want to be charified.

"That's it, auntie, I'll lend you this money!" I smiled and pointed at Shizi: "Have you seen my master?" His face stinks enough, doesn't he? His temper is even worse, and one day he will be unhappy and will leave me, and I will come to you when I am homeless. Then you will pay me back with interest! ”

Shizi snorted coldly when he heard this, and glared at me with a calm face. I grinned as if I hadn't seen it, and when Hu Ziniang hesitated, I directly stuffed the silver into her hand, "Auntie!" Don't overthink it! Sooner or later, I'll have to pay it back, there's nothing to be embarrassed about! It's not too early, so we're leaving! Don't get up, let the tiger send us! After speaking, without waiting for Huzi Niang to react more, she grabbed Huzi's hand and dragged it out.

When he went out, he just let go of his hand and wanted to get the things on his waist, not wanting to be mistaken by Huzi that I was going to say goodbye, he nervously grabbed me and said, "Brother, my mother just confessed that she didn't know the name of Engong, how will she repay me in the future?" Let me be sure to ask! ”

I patted him on the head: "Didn't you say my name?" Just call me brother! Go back and let your mother rest assured, I will come to you if you need it, I have never been a thin-skinned and embarrassed person! ”

"I feel the same way!" Shizi said a word on the side.

I hate it in my heart, this guy hasn't said a word since he entered the village, and he is so unpopular as soon as he opens his mouth! It's annoying.

"Then ......" Huzi saw that I refused to reveal my name, so he had to give up: "Brother, you must come to me in the future!" ”

"Good!" I stretched out my little finger and hooked his little finger and pulled, "We pull the hook and promise that it will not change for a hundred years!" ”

Huzi looked at my actions in a daze, and I remembered that Lagou might be an unfamiliar behavior in this time and space, so I explained: "This is a sign of oath in my hometown, and the promise of such a Goo will definitely be fulfilled!" ”

"Hmm!" Huzi grinned happily.

"By the way, there's another thing!" I took out the Hetian white jade tea cup that I regarded as a treasure from the purse tied around my waist and handed it to Huzi, and Zhengse said: "Huzi, this thing must be put away when I go back!" Don't say you can't ask for it, it's about your mother's body! Your mother's illness is not light, you should know this better than me. I don't know how much the treatment will cost, and if the money I just gave is not enough, then this will definitely help you! Remember! I crouched down and stared into his eyes: "You're a man!" Take responsibility for it! Do everything you can to take care of your mother! Protect this home! ”

Huzi looked at me deeply for a long time, and finally he clenched the tea cup in his hand and said to me: "Brother, when I grow up, if you don't come to me, then I will go to you myself!" ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for the day when you grow up and meet again!" ”
