Volume 1 Poison Cave Hell Chapter 3 Oil Umbrella
The so-called Wangshan walked down the horse, even if they had seen the outline of the village and town, the three of them still walked for a long time.
The atmosphere along the way was solemn, and even Blazing Dream was much quieter.
The street of Fangyu not far away was finally approaching, but it was blocked by a wide river, and there were no ferries on either side, and it was already dusk when the three of them bypassed.
In the villages and towns, most of the shops have closed, and in front of the houses on both sides, children are playing games in groups, adults are either shaking their fans and leisurely, or a few people gather together to chat.
"Anyway, I haven't eaten much since last night, and you two don't even cry out that you're hungry, I can't stand it, so I'll find an inn to rest here for the night, and there's a big city going north of the town, which is where we're going next." Jiang Yuan said.
Walking through the two streets, you can occasionally see vendors selling candy and snacks, which always attracts Blazing Dreams to stop by.
There were also a lot of pedestrians along the way, but when they saw Ding Yan and his party, they all avoided them.
"Hey, look at the kid on the far right..."
"Brother Hua, what's wrong... This, how can this kid not have a shadow!"
"Yes, our town is next to the cemetery, and the old Wu Tou in the back street also chattered that everyone would not be allowed to leave the town in the evening, saying that there were living dead people over there at night..."
"Brother Hua, don't say it! Let's go back, let's go to Xiaomei's house tomorrow." γ
"Ah, let's go. γ
......
"Daddy, why doesn't that brother have a shadow..."
"Bao'er, don't look!"
The young man picked up the child on the ground and walked away quickly.
......
Ding Yan lowered his head, glanced at both sides, and the sound of pedestrians' pointing and whispering kept coming, deaf to him, but he could still feel that the object of those people's discussions was himself.
Even if you pretend to be calm on the outside, you can't be indifferent on the inside.
These glances, like looking at a different kind of gaze, made Ding Yan taste what it was to be sour for the first time in fifteen years.
The words of the private words, the words that were like talking about the dead, made Ding Yan feel grief and grievances that he had never felt before.
Ding Yan's long black hair covered half of his face, and he was born with an unusually pale complexion, and he really looked a little infiltrating.
"Whoa...!"
A toddler in a woman's arms suddenly burst into tears when he saw Ding Yan passing by. The woman glanced to the side, and with a look of disgust or fear, she hurried off into the distance.
"Who's dead child, freaks don't come out to be scary!" the woman muttered and coaxed the toddler in her arms, "Pear, pear..."
Ding Yan was silent, walking step by step, sometimes clenching his fists and sometimes letting go.
Jiang Yuan walked in front, but all the pedestrians who came over were glared back by Jiang Yuan.
"Cut! I can't go on like this. Jiang Yuan muttered.
"There it is!"
Jiang Yuan walked forward briskly and came to a shop that had not yet closed. The pitch-black plaque is printed with a few large characters "Wu Ji Ming Shop"
"Boss, how do you sell this oil umbrella? γ
Out of the shop came an old man over half a hundred years old, with a thin figure, a goatee, and patches of black-brown spots on his face.
"Shiwen. The old man said.
Then he glanced at the two people behind Jiang Yuan, and immediately said, "Take this umbrella, I won't charge you money, and leave quickly." γ
"Hey, old man, do you see that the young master is dressed like he can't afford to give money?" said Jiang Yuan, flipping through the money bag.
"Xiao'er, I'm not saying that you can't afford to pay money, it's just that although I open a shop in the underworld, I don't do business with the dead, so if you want to use the umbrella, take it directly." γ
"You're a dead man, don't want money to pull you down. Saying that, Jiang Yuan left with an oil umbrella.
"I didn't expect to see the living dead recorded in the ancestral home in the years when I was about to enter the earth, and I was so bad..." The old man shook his head and sighed, and then walked into the shop and closed the door tightly.
"That, Ah Yan. Let's make do with this, although it still looks a little weird, but at least it's not as conspicuous as it was just now... Those ordinary people in the province who have never seen the world chirp crookedly. γ
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan held up the oil umbrella and handed it to Ding Yan.
But Jiang Yuan's words seemed to be like the last straw that crushed the camel, completely crushing Ding Yan's tense nerves.
"Smack!"
Ding Yan knocked the oil umbrella to the ground, shook his shoulders, clenched his fists, and said in a trembling voice, "You guys are the same, think I'm a freak, an alien... It's a shame for you to walk with me, then I'll go by myself!"
Saying that, Ding Yan used all his strength to run wildly towards the end of the alley.
"Brother Ding!"
"Ah Yan! I'm not this..."
"Don't come along!"
The empty streets only left the echo of Ding Yan's hoarseness.
......
It was dark, and a figure was huddled in an unknown corner.
The voices of several men came from another street corner.
"Damn, why is the shop closed so early today, so where can Lao Tzu collect money!"
"Great, big brother. I heard the old immortal who sold shrouds say that there were three little dolls in the town this afternoon, one of them seemed to have no shadow, and the old thing said that it was the living dead, and it would take three days to lose luck when he saw it. Those merchants closed their shops early and hid. γ
"Fuck, I don't care what kind of living dead he is, let me see him, I don't want him to peel off his skin!"
This "Chai Yama" gang is a group of bullies in this town, and the leader Chai Li is born with a tiger's back, relying on brute force to do all kinds of evil on weekdays, and is called "Chai Yama" by the people of the town.
On this day, Chai Li and his group went to the street to collect protection money, but the doors of every store were locked, and they returned empty-handed, and Chai Li couldn't help but be so angry that he scolded.
"Big brother, there seems to be someone here. γ
When Chai Li heard the prestige, he saw a black figure nested in a corner.
"Damn, it's just right, junior, you find him out, let the master dissipate his anger!"
"Okay!" the fat-faced man who was called the junior replied and walked to the corner.
"Hehe, boy, count yourself lucky, go and use a few sandbags for my brother!" As he spoke, Xiao San reached out and pulled Ding Yan's collar and placket.
Feeling a surge of strength coming, Ding Yan's eyes widened slightly, and he roared in a low voice, "Get out!"
pushed it violently, and it actually pushed Xiao San's somewhat fat body to a stumbling one.
"Eh, boy, you still have a little strength, you can't clean you up yet!" Saying that, Xiao San laughed and pounced again.
Ding Yan relied on his flexible body, and the man fell short after a few pounces, but the space in the corner was really limited, and he was still blocked to the side after a few breaths.
Chai Li on the side looked anxious, stepped over and directly picked up the fat man, pulled Ding Yan suddenly, and with a strong arm, several green tendons burst out, threw him out, smashed him on a stall, and rolled to the ground after a few strokes.
", boy, are you hiding?"
Chai Li walked a few steps and lifted Ding Yan up, Ding Yan's feet were dragged off the ground, and he couldn't break free after a few flutters. It can be seen that the strength of this "Chai Yama" is amazing.
"Your kid is a little raw..." Chai Li hugged the bangs in front of Ding Yan's forehead and squinted his eyes.
"Great... Big... Big brother, this kid has no shadow!" exclaimed the thin man on the side.
"Fuck you're the living dead, take a look, unlucky for three days?" said he and directly smashed a punch into Ding Yan's face, but this punch used enough strength to directly hit Ding Yan's nostrils and the corners of his mouth to the point of blood.
"Get out! let go of me. Ding Yan said coldly.
"Fuck, who the fuck are you talking to, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you, I'll let you understand today, I can't recognize the situation, I don't know the fate of life or death!"
Chai Li threw Ding Yan to the ground, and several men also surrounded him.
After a whole stick of incense, Xu was a little tired, and Chai Li shouted, "Damn, I just beat this kid like I rubbed my fingers, and I'm really a bad person." γ
Then he glared at Ding Yan viciously and said, "Don't let Ye see you in the town tomorrow, otherwise I will kill you even if I am unlucky!"
As he spoke, a group of people walked away.
By the wall, Ding Yan was lying on the ground, the blood between the corners of his mouth and nose had long since dried up, but the tears on both sides of his cheeks kept flowing out.
* * * Yes, I didn't provoke you, why hit me!
Ding Yan roared in his heart, but the tears flowed even harder.
A feeling of tiredness hit me, and I was groggy and I heard only a burst of scolding and a dull accent.
"Boom!"
A familiar voice sounded beside Ding Yan, and Ding Yan opened his eyes slightly.
"Enough of that. γ
The person in front of him, red-haired and energetic, was holding a huge man in his hand, the man was already with crooked eyes and slanted mouth, and he had more air out and less air in. On the ground behind him, there were several bodies lying horizontally, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
The corners of the visitor's mouth were slightly raised, and the arrogant aura between his eyebrows couldn't help but diffuse, and he opened his lips lightly
"Now, Ah Yan... The old lady said that you were born crippled and unable to cultivate, but I Jiang Yuan didn't believe it! Sooner or later, you would become an existence that she couldn't reach even if she looked up! Whether you are a living dead or a depressed person, heh... I, Jiang Yuan, want to make you this friend!"
"In the future, if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks about Ah Yan, I, Jiang Yuan, will definitely beat him so that his mother can't recognize him!"
"Whew..." Jiang Yuan exhaled and said slowly, "So, if you are still a man, don't be a mother-in-law!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan leaned over and stretched out his right hand to Ding Yan.
"I..." Ding Yan looked at the person in front of him, and his right hand was raised slightly, but for some reason, he never had the strength to grasp the front.
Suddenly, Ding Yan only felt a warm touch on his hand, and a petite slender hand grabbed him, and immediately, it overlapped with the one that had been placed in front of Ding Yan.
"Brother Ding, let's go eat, Meng'er is so hungry. γ
Suddenly, a feeling of soreness involuntarily invaded Ding Yan's eyes, and he could no longer speak.
......
In the room, there was only one oil lamp, which was dim but quiet.
"I'm sorryβ" Ding Yan lay on the bed, Blazing Dream wiping Ding Yan's cheeks with a soaked towel.
"I'm sorry for the fart, we'll set off when dawn, and when we get to Hongcheng, we quickly find a restaurant to have a good meal, I haven't even eaten a few steamed buns these days. Jiang Yuan pouted.
The next day, the dawn dawned.
On the path, Ding Yan looked at Jiang Yuanchimeng, who was also holding an oil umbrella beside him, and the two couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"You...?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I said, we are a group. γ
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Blazing Dream turned around, jumped in front of the two, turned his head and bent his eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, yes, so you can't let Brother Ding appear independent and special!"
