Volume 2 Text Chapter 119 Hearing a ghost cry in the middle of the night
When I came to Shenjian Mountain the next day, the tea stall was still there, but the white-bearded old man was no longer here.
Guarding the tea stall were an elderly couple.
Zhou Feng said: "Uncle and aunt, where did the old man before the tea stall go?"
The old man was in his fifties, with bald hair, but he looked kind.
The uncle said: "You mean the old man, he went out on a long trip, this tea stall is now handed over to our old couple to take care of, what do a few young people drink?"
"How long does it take to go on a long trip?" Zhou Feng asked.
The uncle replied: "It can be as short as ten days, and as long as three or five years." ”
Zhou Feng: "......"
The four of them sat down in turn and ordered four cups of bitter tea.
The bitter tea has a bitter name, but the taste is sweet, and when you take a big sip, you have an indescribable refreshment for them who have been riding horses for more than seven hours.
Jiang Yiru said: "Hmm...... Why is this tea so delicious, isn't it added with some herbs?"
The eldest lady smiled and said: "We are a group of idle farmers in the mountains and fields, where will we recognize the medicinal herbs, these bitter teas are all handed over to us by Brother Fang, can you still get used to drinking them?"
Wu Qian said: "Get used to it, the tea is very delicious." ”
Liu Mengmeng gave a delicate thumbs up and praised: "There is no better tea than you here." ”
The uncle took out a page of papyrus paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Feng: "Young man, I kept inquiring as soon as I saw you coming, is it Zhou Feng that the old man said? ”
Zhou Feng hurriedly took the paper letter from the uncle's hand, only to see that the letter wrote: Fate has its own providence in the dark, young people don't have to be too forceful, and old decay will appear when it should appear.
This is?
It turns out that the old man with the white beard has to be surprised that I am coming here before he leaves! Maybe this old man feels that the time has not come, and he doesn't want to see me now.
After drinking tea, Zhou Feng left a dozen gold coins and walked outside with Liu Mengmeng and the others.
"Hey, hey, young man, you've given too much money!" shouted the uncle, wrapping the gold coin in a coarse cloth, and shouting from behind.
"Uncle, you can take the rest. ”
After speaking, Zhou Feng and the others turned over and got on their horses and rode away.
......
Sixty or seventy miles back, it was five or six o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun was about to set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the branches and foliage of the surrounding trees, and a few tired birds returned from feeding for their children, flapping their wings a few times and flying into the nest, "cooing ......".
Wu Qianyu They are also a little tired.
Wu Qian said: "It's getting late, let's find someone to stay at home?"
Jiang Yiru stopped the horse and stretched out.
Zhou Feng looked at the traces of human population two or three miles ahead, so he said: "There seems to be a village in front, where we rest." ”
This village is not small, there are about three or four hundred households, there is a simple restaurant in the center of the village, open the door of the shop, the proprietress is a young woman in her thirties.
The proprietress walked coquettishly, raised her jade arm and said, "Oh, are the guest officers playing the top or staying in the hotel?"
Zhou Feng put the package on the table, pressed his hand on the scabbard and said, "First help us serve a few plates of good dishes, four bowls of rice, and a pot of soju, and then prepare two clean guest rooms, and we will stay here today." ”
The proprietress smiled and said, "Okay, are you picking a good side dish?"
Liu Mengmeng said: "It's almost enough, three or four, a bowl of soup, Qianyu and Yiru don't eat mutton, don't be too fishy." ”
The proprietress wrote them down one by one and told the kitchen to get busy.
Several people were chatting, and Zhou Feng suddenly remembered that the horses outside had not been fed yet.
Zhou Feng said: "Our horses haven't been fed yet, I'll go add some forage, you guys talk first." ”
Liu Mengmeng pursed her lips and said, "Well, then you have to be careful." ”
Zhou Feng smiled: "What danger can there be in this village, don't worry." ”
Liu Mengmeng said: "I'm afraid that the horse's eyes will be dizzy at night, and he won't recognize you as the master, so he will kick you over again." ”
After speaking, the laughter of several girls trembled.
Zhou Feng waved his hand helplessly and walked outside.
After checking the condition of the four horses, he added some grass to the manger, and was about to walk with his legs up, when he heard several baby-like cries in the back of the village.
"Woo woo woo ......."
At night, the village is quiet and dim, and these baby cries are particularly harsh and unspeakably eerie.
Zhou Feng frowned, pricked up his ears and continued to listen, but there was no sound.
Zhou Feng returned to the tavern, and the food and wine were all ready.
Zhou Feng sat down and said, "I encountered a strange thing just now?"
"Oh?" Liu Mengmeng picked up a piece of lean meat, put it to his mouth and blew: "Let's hear it~"
Zhou Feng said: "Just now when I was feeding the horse, I heard the cry of a baby in the distance. ”
Jiang Yiru said: "Brother, don't worry, maybe the baby of which family is disobedient and is making trouble." ”
Zhou Feng shook his head and said, "It's just like a baby's cry, I'm sure it's not a baby." ”
Wu Qianyu's cauliflower that was sandwiched in the chopsticks fell back again.
Wu Qianyu was scared tightly: "It's not a baby, what is it?"
Zhou Feng's tone was a little heavy: "It's definitely not a living person, let's be careful at night." ”
A cold chill broke down the backs of several girls, and their voices trembled a little when they opened their mouths.
After eating, the four of them divided into two rooms and returned to their rooms.
Zhou Feng and Liu Mengmeng lived together, and after washing, Zhou Feng lay on the bed.
Liu Mengmeng only wore underwear, lifted her hair, and leaned on Zhou Feng.
"Honey, I'm afraid~" Most of the silky and lovely pair of jade rabbits on her chest leaked out, and Zhou Feng couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.
Zhou Feng smiled and said: "You have always been very bold, and you are not afraid of corpses on the battlefield, how can you be afraid of this kind of thing." ”
Liu Mengmeng rubbed Zhou Feng with her little face and said, "No matter how I say it, I'm also a girl, don't you comfort me?"
Zhou Feng then gently hugged Liu Mengmeng into his arms.
"Woo woo....... Woo woo woo!" The cry of the suspected baby really came out, louder, and the distance seemed to be closer, this sound was bitter and cold, and it was definitely not made by a normal child.
Zhou Feng and Liu Mengmeng glanced at each other and picked up their weapons from under the bed.
"Knock knock knock......" A quick knock on the door came, and Liu Mengmeng hurriedly put on her clothes.
It's Wu Qianyu and Jiang Yiru!
"Did you hear the baby crying?" Jiang Yiru asked with a dark look of horror.
Zhou Feng nodded and replied, "I heard it, and now it's gone again." ”
There were four or five other guests in this inn, and they were also making noise with the door open.
The proprietress hurriedly came to the second floor and said: "Don't panic, don't panic, the last ten days in the village will come out inexplicably and the baby will cry, nothing happens, even if there are ghosts, they will not break into the village." ”
The proprietress was not dressed properly, and Bai Huahua's shoulders were exposed.
The guests were even more frightened and kept talking.
After more than half an hour, until no sound came, the five men cursed and walked back to their rooms.
Zhou Feng and Liu Mengmeng comforted Wu Qianyu and Jiang Yiru a few words, and the two of them finally went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, the crowing of the rooster woke everyone up.
Meet at the bottom of the restaurant, finish breakfast and prepare to go out.
At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy ran up to him and shouted, "Are there any cultivators?
You must know that first- and second-order demonic beasts generally dare not enter the village, even if there are no high-level cultivators in the village, the militia and strong men alone can beat them into barbecue, this kid is so urgent, I am afraid that this thing that broke into the village is extraordinary.
Zhou Feng and the four of them hurriedly brought their weapons, called the boy, and ran out, and the proprietress and the chef also chased them out with kitchen knives.
Under the guidance of the boy who asked for help, he arrived at the entrance of the village, only to see a monster more than two meters high roaring in front of him, this monster looked like a wolf not a wolf, like a dog not a dog, the body was five or six meters long, a tail bucket thick, long and holding it behind, burning with blood-red flames.
"Long-tailed vicious dog?" Zhou Feng couldn't help but say.
Zhou Feng carefully read "Persona of Warcraft" in the cabinet of Yuzhou Academy and knew the name of the creature in front of him. The long-tailed vicious dog is a fourth-order demonic beast, it is a poor creature, it is a rare monster that grows unnaturally, you must know that this is also a sin of the humans of the Hongwen Continent.
The long-tailed vicious dog was originally a long-tailed dog, a kind of third-order creature that is very close to people, it is precisely because they are close to people that they have no malice towards humans, so they were finally caught by the mages of the Yod Kingdom, some crazy and fanatical mages gathered tens of thousands of gentle long-tailed dogs together, and used transformation magic to disrupt their nature, turning the long-tailed dogs into fourth-order monsters that everyone is afraid of blood and cruelty, and they wanted to transform a group of slaves to fight for themselves, but in the end they became like this, and the people in the city naturally raised their objections, and these mages could not resist the people's grievances, so they had to decide to kill all the long-tailed vicious dogs。
But the long-tailed dogs themselves possessed a certain amount of intelligence, and they jumped out in unison before the magician unleashed his destructive magic, and dozens of mid-level magicians were torn apart by the angry long-tailed vicious dogs, and finally escaped.
These more than 10,000 long-tailed vicious dogs broke through the magic tower and came to the vast mountain forest, after hundreds of years of development and breeding, there are already tens of thousands of long-tailed vicious dogs near the Tianying Dynasty and the Yod Kingdom.
But why it came to the village, Zhou Feng doesn't know this week.
