Chapter 41: A Kind Uncle

Qiao Xiya turned around and glanced at Bai Ning, Bai Ning stepped forward and said, "Even if we want to leave now, we can't go."

"Don't talk nonsense! Let's go! The uncle urged again.

"Uncle, my cousin was drenched in the rain last night, and now she is sick and can't walk." The uncle's abnormal reaction and Hu's mother's actions made Bai Ning decide to pester him to inquire clearly.

"You ......" The uncle looked at the five people who seemed to have been fished out of the mud, and shook his head helplessly, "Alas, come with me." Although my home is a dilapidated wooden house, I can finally give this girl a sip of hot water. Let's go. After speaking, the uncle carried the rabbit and beckoned everyone to go forward.

~~

"Uncle, why didn't you let us go to Huimeng County to find someone just now." Firewood was lit in the room, and in a short time the clothes of the people were dried, and the whole body was warm. Bai Ning approached the uncle and asked mysteriously.

"There is no one left in Huimeng County." As he spoke, the uncle slit the hare's throat with a scimitar, and blood came out and stained the uncle's hands red.

"No one?" Bai Ning frowned, he obviously saw Hu's mother yesterday, and chatted with Hu's mother, and in the middle of the night, the third watch was driven out by Hu's mother with a broom, and now the uncle in front of him actually told him that there was no one in Huimeng County.

"Yes...... uncle sighed, looked at the constantly beating flames with half-narrowed eyes, and said slowly, "About three or four months ago, within a day in Huimeng County, everyone disappeared without a trace, even the yamen of the county was empty, we looked for two days in the surrounding hunters, and we didn't see half a figure, but just when we were about to go to Huizhou City to report to the official, Huimeng County suddenly became lively, all the people came back, no one knew where they went, No one knows what they went through, but since this incident, the people of Huimeng County have been extremely disgusted with outsiders, and we have tried to walk around as much as possible since then. "The hare's blood flowed down its smooth fur and fell to the ground drop by drop. The uncle sighed, "There are many things in this world that are inexplicable, the next generation, you are still recuperating from me, just go back quickly, where you come from, go back." ”

"Uncle, we ......"

"Okay, thank you uncle for reminding me," Bai Ning interrupted Qiao Xiya, "Then I'll be disturbed for the past two days." ”

"You rest, I'll go and clean up this rabbit, eat something for a while, sleep well, sweat, maybe tomorrow will be fine." The uncle said, carrying two skinned and bloody rabbits and walked out.

Seeing the uncle leaving, Qiao Xiya walked to Qiao Xiya's side, fiddled with the fire in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Do you really want to leave?"

"Shh Bai Ning put his finger in front of his mouth and made a silence, then tiptoed to the hidden door, listened for a while, returned to the fire, looked at Qiao Xiya's tired eyes, and lowered his voice: "Which rabbit did you see caught by Orion that was drowned?"

"Drowning?" Qiao Xiya's eyes widened and looked at Bai Ning, "What are you talking about?" Did the two rabbits drown? ”

"There was white foam at the corners of his mouth, there were no wounds on his body, and he opened his neck, and blood gushed out."

"Maybe...... It was raining too much yesterday......" Qiao Xiya's voice fluttered, because she was sick and weak, and because of this guess, she couldn't even convince herself.

"Be careful." Bai Ning glanced at her deeply, "If it's a meal he doesn't eat later, you shouldn't eat it either." ”

"Okay." Qiao Xiya thought about it and felt that what Bai Ning said made sense, so she responded.

"Hungry, aren't you? Come and eat. About a stick of incense, the uncle walked into the house with a large pot of steaming rabbit stew. The pot looked like it was made of stone, and the soup was still bubbling.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get some ginger soup." The uncle put the pot on the table, turned around and went out again.

"Chunling, go and help." Qiao Xiya saw that the uncle was busy alone, and she was really a little upset.

"Hey!" Chunling responded crisply and ran out.

"Shhh Bai Ning's hand stretched out to the pot was burned back, and he glanced at Qiao Xiya while shaking his hand, and said softly, "I just said that this person is not ordinary." ”

"Understood." Qiao Xiya looked at Bai Ning's blood-blistered hand, and recalled in her mind the appearance of the big big bare hand carrying the pot into the house just now.

"Hot?" The uncle stepped into the room and saw Chu Yun holding a thin needle, helping Bai Ning pick out the blood blisters on his fingers.

"Harm! was negligent for a while, which made the uncle laugh. Bai Ning sneered.

"I'm a rough person, I do rough work on weekdays, and in the next life, how can you learn from me to serve the pot directly?" The uncle took Bai Ning's hand and looked at it carefully, "Fortunately, the injury is not serious, if there is a plaster, if you apply it, it will not leave a scar." ”

"Yes, look at you directly, I thought it wasn't hot." Bai Ning smiled awkwardly, "Uncle, sit down and eat together." ”

"Okay, I'll go and bring the rest of the ginger tea, and let's drive away the cold together." With that, he walked out of the house again.

"Girl." The uncle left with the front foot, Chunling entered the house with the back foot, a small face was aggrieved, she walked in front of Qiao Xiya, stretched out her hands from behind her back, and the four big blood blisters on her slender jade fingers were extremely dazzling.

"Lend me the needle." Qiao Xiya hurriedly asked Chu Yun for a silver needle. Chu Yun was also unambiguous, and along with the silver needle, he also handed a small box.

"After the puncture, put the blood in the water and apply the ointment." Bai Ning said with a grin. Although he is a person who has practiced martial arts all year round, he is a pampered son and brother after all, not to mention ten fingers and hearts. After a few breaths, the infiltration of the ointment made Bai Ning feel a little cool, the pain from the tips of his fingers was greatly reduced, and Bai Ning's face was not so distorted.

"After dinner, a few of you will sleep well here, and leave early tomorrow morning." The uncle said, picked up a piece of rabbit meat, held it in his hand, and nibbled it with relish.

Seeing that the uncle had eaten, everyone began to move their chopsticks.

A pot full of rabbit meat was quickly wiped out, and everyone ate a round belly, and the meaning was still unfinished.

The hot ginger soup made Qiao Xiya sweat, and Qiao Xiya instantly felt half better.

"Okay, you guys rest, I'll see if I can still make some game, let's roast and eat it at night." With that, the uncle closed the door and left.

"I don't think it will rain tonight, you can sleep first, recuperate, and let's go again in the evening." Bai Ning made the bed for Qiao Xiya and poured another cup of hot ginger tea. Then he turned around and pulled Chu Yun over, "The two of us are guarding the door, you can rest assured." ”

Bai Ning pulled Chu Yun to sit down outside the door, leaned against the door, looked at the misty mountain in the distance, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally, the two fell asleep.

"Let's go! Come on! ”

"Mama Hu!" Bai Ning sat up with a scream. There was sweat all over his forehead, and then he realized that he had a nightmare. But this dream was too real, and Bai Ning's heart became more and more uneasy. He looked at the moon rising to the middle of the sky and pushed open the door, "Miss Qiao, let's go." ”
