Chapter 14 There are fierce beasts in the North Mountain
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that his right ear had been grabbed from behind.
The technique, the touch, and the strength are all too familiar. It has been with me since childhood, and morning is as normal as eating and drinking. But in order to avoid the strength of that hand, he had to call "wow" twice, and obeyed softly and forged: "Grandpa's subordinates are merciful, there is something to say, there is something to say, there is something to say......"
The old face that appeared behind him, with a serious expression, scolded with hatred: "Call you kid no longer serious, talking nonsense, that immortal is also what you dare to talk about?"
"The kid knows his mistake, you let go of your hand first......"
There was laughter all around.
"Grandpa, your old man is right, but you shouldn't always make me ugly in public, if I can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I have to blame you. This kid was really slippery, and his words made the laughter around him even worse.
"Hmph!" the old man spread his hand, glared at him, and then went back to the outer hall to continue drinking his tea.
Time flies by in a bustle.
Since last night's inexplicable heavy snowfall, the weather here has returned to what it should have been on dog days.
It was close to noon.
It was a rather bizarre sight: in the sky, the sun was blazing high and the air was scorching. On the ground, the remnants of snow are still there, and the ground is full of traces of melting ice and snow, wet and wet, mottled with light and shadow.
Old man Sun's little grandson was in a vacant lot outside the courtyard at this time, and his friends were picking up the residual snow and chasing and playing. From time to time, their little feet stepped on the muddy water in the puddles, splashing their trouser legs, clothes, face, and hair, but they didn't care at all and enjoyed it.
A small snowball was thrown into the surrounding crowd.
"Ouch, what kind of little villain hit me on the head. Someone shouted.
There was another burst of laughter.
Seeing that his head was covered in snow, someone immediately started a new topic.
"Speaking of which, the snow last night was really strange......
"Yes, dog days, it snowed inexplicably, and I was woken up several times in one night. ”
"Can you still sleep? I didn't close my eyes all night, I always felt that there was movement in my ears, my heart was weird, a little panicked, I pushed the door out several times, and I didn't find anything......"
"Yes! When you said this, I also remembered that there were indeed some strange noises, as if wild beasts were roaring, and as if there was a hard object crashing, mixed in the blizzard, and I couldn't really hear it. Since my house is relatively close to Beishan, it is almost certain that those sounds came from there. ”
"Isn't there some ghost, is it? We have a warm climate here, there is no severe cold in winter, and it hasn't snowed for many years, so how can we catch this snow on these dog days?"
"It's hard to say...... It's hard to say......"
"Recently, it has been very uneven on the North Mountain side. According to the hunters who often go there, during this time on the mountain, many strange things suddenly appeared, including strange birds with several heads, and beasts with wings. The bodies are huge, and their appearance is terrifying...... Also, in those eyes...... It is said that they all glow crimson. Think about it, if there were such a pair of eyes staring at you in the dark...... Even if it's just a glance, hum, I dare to say that there is a chance that the soul will be scared away here!" The surname of the person who spoke was Bao, and he was a famous Bao in the village.
At this point, everyone suddenly felt a chill rise up on their backs under the scorching sun.
"That'...... Are those strange things hurtful?" someone asked timidly.
"It didn't hurt anyone, but I didn't hear about it. But do you think, those hunters are all old foxes, cunning! I know that I can't do it, but I still have the ability to hide and run away. In their own words, for the first few nights after they went back, they had nightmares every night, and when they woke up, they would unconsciously touch their heads to see if they still had them on their necks......
"Oh, will that come here and harm our village?" someone asked after a long time.
"It's hard to say, anyway, everyone should be careful in the near future and try not to go to Beishan. ”
"Yes, yes!"
