Chapter 17: Dismount!
Seeing that I turned around, the old smoker spoke: "Dismount!" ”
Hearing these two words, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to get off the horse, but what I didn't expect was that the two 'people' who were originally just leading the horse stretched out a hand and grabbed my two legs at the same time, and it didn't seem that they wanted me to go down.
I immediately wondered in my heart, the two 'people' here didn't mean to care about me before, especially when Zhuang Yue and Liu Ming appeared, they also chose to ignore it and let them pull me off the horse.
Why do I want to dismount now, but they won't let me go down?
I tossed for a while, but the hands of the two 'people' were like pliers, clutching my legs, and finally I had no choice but to look at the old smoker and say, "I can't get down, why don't you come and do me a favor?" ”
The old smoker didn't mean to help me, and looked at me with a little more impatience.
"I don't have any ability at all."
"What's next?"
I pursed my lips and was about to retort, but the two 'men' who were holding my feet winked at me at the same time, and their mouths moved.
Two small voices reached my ears at this time.
"Don't get down!"
I subconsciously looked at the impatient old smoker in front of me, and after making sure that the old smoker should not have heard these two 'people' speak, my brow couldn't help but wrinkle.
I feel that something is wrong with the old smoker.
I hadn't noticed it before.
When I saw the old smoker, my first reaction was to feel at ease, so I didn't notice that the old smoker at this time was much less stable and indifferent than before.
And since I knew the old smoker, the old smoker never showed impatience, even if sometimes I said something that made him feel bad, he would not be in a hurry.
The main thing is that although he was also holding a cigarette stick, he didn't move it except for a puff when I saw him return, and if it was a really old smoker, he was in a hurry to dismount me.
Seeing that I can't get down, the old smoker will not just preach to me like this, but will directly help me, after all, these two 'people' suddenly control me, no matter how you look at it.
But the old smoker did nothing.
Thinking of this, I temporarily put away my thoughts about dismounting, although I was still struggling, but in fact I didn't use too much force, I pretended to want to dismount, and at the same time looked at the old smoker with a bitter face and said, "I really can't get down." ”
"These two people don't know what the reason is, they hold on to me and don't let go."
A flash of coldness flashed in the old smoker's eyes.
Although it disappeared quickly, I saw it right away.
This made me more and more sure that the old smoker in front of me was not normal.
Sure enough, after hearing me say this, the coldness and impatience on the face of the old smoker became even more obvious.
But he still didn't care about me, but continued to urge me, saying, "If you don't come down again, it'll be too late." ”
"No one will be able to save you then!"
I sneered inwardly.
By this point, I was almost certain that there was something wrong with the old smoker in front of me.
I simply ignored him, grinned, and laughed.
I thought that no matter what his purpose was for me to get off the horse, as long as I continued to play stupid, there should be no mistake.
But as soon as I began to giggle, the old smoker grinned as well, and the impatience and coldness on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of satisfaction.
"Not bad!"
The old smoker said, picking up the cigarette stick and taking a puff, "It seems that you are not too stupid. ”
Hearing this, I was a little confused for a while.
Subconsciously looked at the two 'people' on both sides.
I saw a little more confusion in their eyes, but the confusion quickly disappeared, and they regained their indifference again, and slowly let go of the hands that were holding my feet.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but say, "Are you really an old smoker?" ”
The old smoker gave me a blank look before continuing, "Lord Chenghuang must have tested you a few times. ”
"Next, if nothing else, there will be even more trouble finding you."
I was speechless, I just felt that the old smoker had pretended to be too good, and deceived me, and then asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
The old smoker patted the horse under me and said, "Dismount." ”
"You take it, I'll sit on it."
I'm a little confused.
The old smoker explained: "You were all on a horse before, and those things sent by the city god have already remembered this, and the two of us will change positions, and if there is any problem, I will be able to block it for you." ”
Hearing the words of the old smoker, I dismounted without hesitation.
The reason why I am so decisive this time is because I think that the old smoker is a capable person, and since he said so, he must be sure, and there is no need to be verbose.
As soon as I got off the horse, the two 'men' who had been leading the horse suddenly began to grab my hands like crazy, and tried to tear the old smoker off the horse.
There was a whimper in his mouth, as if he was in a hurry.
When I wondered, the old smoker poked the cigarette stick directly at one of the 'people', and the sparks on the cigarette stick turned into a fire on the 'person' in an instant, and turned to ashes in an instant.
Although I don't know how to do it, I also know that they are a piece of red paper, but I didn't expect the old smoker to be so decisive in burning one of them.
When the other 'person' saw this scene, the hand that was still tearing the old smoker suddenly let go, as if he was afraid of the old smoker, and ran directly from the side of the horse to the sedan chair.
The old smoker glanced at it and just said lightly: "You have something to do with her, I didn't want to hurt you." ”
"This time, it's just a reminder."
When he had finished speaking, the old smoker looked at me again.
"Lead the horse, go!"
I came back to my senses, and after glancing at the ashes on the ground and the 'man' who had run to the palanquin to seek the blessing of the coffin in the palanquin, I nodded, and led the horse forward.
This time, however, the horse suddenly went very fast, not as hard as it had been when I had sat on it.
If it was the slow pace, we might have walked for hours to get to the entrance of Niang'er Village, but after I switched places with the old smoker, it only took more than ten minutes.
However, according to what the old smoker told me before, I need to walk around Niang'er Village with the team before I can go home, and getting to the entrance of the village only means that this road has just begun, so I am not relieved by this.
But something surprised me a little.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the horse did not leave.
And that's not all.
The festive music suddenly disappeared.
Instead, there was a fierce barking of dogs, and a sigh.
