Chapter 6 Strange Things in the Mountains, Are They Humans or Demons?
It's okay not to mention the official family, but the mention of the official family made Zhao Chuan immediately think of the family feud, he was furious, and the two people in front of him with knives were blasted out of the distance.
The black-faced little boss fell to the ground in fright and crawled behind a tree.
"What kind of mountain monster are you? Why come and rob people! If you don't say anything, I'll kill you all! Zhao Chuan roared at the person who threatened Satsuki with a knife.
"Good man Mo angry, I'll recruit me! We're not mountain monsters, we're people! The person who threatened Satsuki hurriedly threw the knife.
Xiaoyue was frightened, and immediately ran over when she had freedom, regardless of the difference between men and women, she hugged Zhao Chuan tightly and didn't let go, no matter how Zhao Chuan pulled it, she trembled and didn't let go.
"The little grandfather is only 13 years old, he is not a good man, say it slowly, and he won't beat you if he makes it clear." Zhao Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but glanced back at Zheng Peng and found that he was looking at himself dumbfounded.
Zheng Peng was stunned, I don't know if it was because he was scared by the bad guys, or because Zhao Chuan knew kung fu, or because Xiaoyue hugged Zhao Chuan tightly. In short, Zheng Peng stayed for a while before he reacted and pulled Xiaoyue to his side.
It turns out that these people came from Zhengyang County in Shannan, it is said that a few months ago someone saw a huge black bird falling in this dragon mountain, and several flying immortals came out of the belly of the bird, these gods came down and began to fight, after a burst of thunder and fire, the gods dropped a lot of priceless treasures, and the people who picked it up were either rich overnight or promoted to become officials.
"The prince of Zhengyang County also wants to pick up the treasure and present the boss for promotion, so let's try our luck, that person is the head of the county government, and we are the requisitioned hunters."
Someone pointed to the black-faced guy who hid behind the tree, and said that there were more than a dozen people when he came, and now only these few people remain.
"But how do you look like this? No people, no ghosts. Zhao Chuan said in disgust.
"Back to the little grandfather, we didn't look like this, because that day we found the place where the divine bird fell, and there was a huge deep pit, and it was very struck by lightning and fire all around. We found nothing and had to go back, but on the way back we got lost, and we wandered around the mountains for more than two months, and gradually we became like this......"
"You're poisoned." Zhao Chuan looked at a few people and frowned.
"Master, you are right, we also think so, each of us is in a different state of poisoning, the worst thing is that the flesh on the body is rotten piece by piece...... someone said that he uncovered his clothes, revealing the naked flesh and bones inside, and tore off a piece of flesh casually, but he smiled and didn't feel pain.
Zhao Chuan was so busy that he took two steps back, saying that you are all like this, but why do you want to rob other girls?
"You ask him, you ask him!" The man pointed to the black-faced yatou who had hid behind a tree, "He said that if he eats the flesh of a little girl, he may be able to grow new meat!" ”
"Nonsense!" Zhao Chuan was furious, he had studied medicine in the medical hall for several years, and he had never heard his husband say such a thing.
snatched his little girl in order to eat the new meat, Zheng Peng was also indignant when he heard it, and when he walked over, he dragged out the black-faced yatou behind the tree, and raised his fist to fight.
The black-faced yatou was naturally frightened and begged for mercy, but before Zheng Peng's fist fell, the yatou suddenly screamed, his body was extremely twisted, and at the same time, bursts of mist continued to emerge from his body, and the smell was extremely fishy, the skin and flesh on his face slowly melted at a visible speed, and thick black dirty water flowed out of his clothes.
Zheng Peng was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and the others were also extremely frightened and kept retreating, Xiao Yue was so frightened that she cried and rushed over to hug Zhao Chuan and trembled.
Zhao Chuan couldn't care about Xiaoyue, and bent over in disgust and began to vomit.
After half a pillar of incense, only a pile of clothes and white bones remained, as well as a puddle of black water.
When Zhao Chuan finished vomiting and straightened up, only Xiao Yue and Zheng Peng were left by his side, and the others were gone.
Zhao Chuan said, "You can't stay here for a long time," and the three of them hurriedly left.
At dinner the next day, Dazhu came back from the town outside the mountain, saying that the town was crazy that there were many monsters in the Jiangdong area of the Panlong Mountains who came out to hurt people.
Panlong Mountain Range is 800 miles long from north to south, 500 miles long from east to west, although the mountain is not too steep and beautiful, but it is said that there is this mountain since Pangu opened the world, and there is a river in the middle of the east-west mountain range, and there is also a river in the middle of the north-south mountain range, so since ancient times, there are four major places called Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Jiangdong and Jiangxi.
There are monsters in Koto, and there are a lot of them? Zhao Chuan was a little unconvinced, he had never heard of this before, it was strange that it could not become sperm in a day or two, and it was not that the old hen came after laying eggs and bone.
Zhao Chuan glanced at Zheng Peng and said that this was a rumor, maybe he had seen some ugly-looking beasts, and he just spread it.
Dazhu said that it was true, and some people saw it and hurt people, and the government also posted notices asking everyone to go to the Jiangdong territory mountain cautiously. Then he described in detail the appearance of those spirits, which was obviously not the appearance of the poisoned men who kidnapped Xiaoyue.
But what happened yesterday was a little weird, and now that I heard Dazhu again, the family sat around the table worriedly, obviously frightened.
The barren mountains here are remote, and several of them are lonely and unheard of, and they can't figure out what is going on even if they want to break their heads, but fortunately, the family has saved their lives safely.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his son Dazhu hurriedly said that he had taken a good look at a yard facing the street in the past few days, as long as 300 taels of silver, the yard was big, the house was good, the location was good, and it was right to start a family and do business.
300 taels? Zheng Peng's head was a little big when he heard it. He said that in the past few years, he has saved more than 100 taels of hard work and frugality, and most of them are still the money from picking and selling medicine with Zhao Chuan in the past year, and the big yard of 300 taels may not be able to afford it.
Dazhu was even more anxious when he heard it, saying that it is not common to have a yard in such a good location, and several buyers are interested, if it is late, it will be no fun, so hurry up and find a way to make money.
Zheng Peng bowed his head and didn't say anything, just eating silently.
Xiu'e said that this matter was in a hurry, 300 taels was too much, and there was no way to make it up.
Dazhu was anxious, glanced at Zhao Chuan, who was bowing his head to eat, and pointed at Xiaoyue and said This is not a ready-made solution? Hurry up and get married, and it is enough to receive the bride price.
Xiu'e said that since ancient times, marriage has been a good match, and the children of poor families are also married to poor people, who can afford a bride price of hundreds of taels of silver?
"Why not? Wang Lao Liu is also a medicine picker, and his little daughter married a few days ago and received a bride price of 200 taels of silver, is there such a thing? Dazhu said with a red face.
"! Wang Lao Liu married his little daughter to Liu Cripple in the town, who is older than me, the old man is a blacksmith and has saved money for a lifetime, do you still want your sister to live? Zheng Peng pushed the rice bowl.
"I don't care! Without this big yard, I can't make a family, I can't open a store, so how can I live in the future? Dazhu also threw the bowl away.
Dinner broke up.
In the quiet night, Zhao Chuan sat on the wooden bed in the Zheng family's hut, his mood was a little complicated, and he sighed for a long time: It's time to leave the Zheng family!
