Chapter 16: Go to Lao Yan

"I can break out, but the oil is exhausted and the lamp ......is dry," the voice said with a wry smile: "Although the gray family suffered this catastrophe, after all, the secular people are not to blame......

Before the voice was finished, it suddenly stopped, and my sister and I waited for a long time, but we didn't see the sound come again, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy in my heart.

After waiting for a while, the voice still didn't come, and my sister couldn't help but shout twice, but there was still no movement.

My sister couldn't help it, and took two steps forward to look, and by the moonlight, she saw that under the corner of the wall where the sound came, a ball of soil was slightly loose and raised.

My sister and I hurriedly dug with our hands, and when we dug up the floating soil, we saw that the corpse of a white rat about two palms long was exposed.

The corpse was bleeding from its mouth and nose, covered with snake bite marks, most of its snow-white fur had been stained red with blood, and half of its tail was missing, no doubt it was the real body of the white mouse who had just spoken.

My sister stared at the white mouse for a moment, then began to dig the ground again, and did not stop bleeding between her fingers, dug a hole in the ground, and put the body of the white mouse in and buried it.

She was silent, got up and walked out after burying the body, and I quickly followed.

When we walked to the entrance of the alley, we saw a pile of broken tiles, and when we opened the tiles, we saw that there was a small bamboo basket hidden inside.

The bamboo basket was covered with a cloth, and when I opened it, there were six or seven little mice that seemed to be not yet adults, huddled into a trembling mass and falling asleep, and the little mice were clustered together, and a small locust branch was pressed under them.

Looking closely, the little mice have more or less bites and scratches, and we can't help but feel sour.

My sister couldn't help but burst into tears, and choked up: "Brother, we have to avenge this revenge ......"

"How?"

As soon as I asked, my sister stopped talking.

yes, how to report?

The two of us were silent for a long time, and my sister opened her mouth and said, "Go find Lao Yan." ”

These words were like a guiding light, and my eyes lit up.

I quickly got up and said, "Yes, why did I forget Lao Yan, he said three years ago that he lived in a lost and found office in the county......"

"You go to Lao Yan, I'm guarding these little mice at home."

"Why don't we go together?" I was stunned.

My sister shook her head: "No, when I got to the county seat for seven or eight miles, these little mice were all injured, and I couldn't help tossing." You go to move the rescuers, I'll take them back to deal with the injuries first, this is the last trust of the Gray family to us, we must not let the family down......"

"But...... I'm ...... alone."

"Don't be, you're so old, you can't live without me, can you?"

"Sister! You're waiting for me at home! ”

My sister is right that she has been by her side to take care of me and accompany me all these years, and I have never tried to complete a single thing on my own.

This time, I had to go alone.

But what neither of us expected was that we had just left the alley with the mice that night, and we had become prey in the eyes of snakes.

It is precisely because of this group of mice that my sister and I have embarked on a catastrophe from which there is no turning back.

That night, I first sent my sister and the mice back to the place where they lived, and I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly went on the road alone in the dead of night and went straight to the direction of the county seat.

Jiuhe Town is eight and a half miles away from the county seat, and I don't dare to have a trace of delay when I trot all the way, but the mountain road is not easy to walk at night, and when I arrive at the county seat, the sky is already cloudy and bright.

It happened that there were already pedestrians on the streets of the county, and I inquired a few times, but I didn't think that anyone really recognized Lao Yan, and told me that Lao Yan's lost and found office was in the dilapidated Chunhua Alley not far ahead.

It was a gloomy old alley, and as soon as I walked in, I felt a chill at first, as if gusts of wind were everywhere.

There don't seem to be many people in the alley, there are no shops, and the deserted courtyards seem to have fallen into disrepair, and some of the aging houses are collapsed and overgrown with weeds, like a ghost alley without popularity.

It's hard for me to imagine that Lao Yan and Xiao Maruko would live in this kind of place, but after all, someone pointed the way, and although I was afraid, I could only rush in.

The alley was very deep, and I dared to pass through the gloomy buildings like haunted houses on both sides, and went around until I went around to the deepest part, only to see that there was a dim light bulb at the door of the innermost courtyard, and a cracked wooden plaque hung on the beam of the gate under the bulb, which seemed to be engraved with the image of a fish, but it was dirty and could not be seen clearly.

Just to the right of the pattern, there are three bold red characters - sixteen.

Could this be Lao Yan's lost and found?

I'm a little unsure, but after all, this is the only house in the alley with the lights on, so I can only dare to go up and knock on the door.

I knocked for a long time, but no one answered for a long time, I was anxious, I knocked again with more force, and after a while, I stopped the door and there was a lazy voice inside-

"What are you knocking, there are dead people in the family, so anxious?"

Hearing someone scolding in the door, I immediately felt at ease, because I had already heard that it was not the voice of the little pill head three years ago, and I still remember that her name was Little White Rabbit.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw the little white rabbit rubbing his sleepy eyes and opening the door.

I haven't seen him for three years, and the little white rabbit doesn't seem to have changed much, he still has a little tugging like a little Taoist girl on his head, and his big eyes are still full of rebellion and impatience.

When he opened the door and saw that it was me, the little white rabbit was stunned, but when he came back to his senses, he waved his hand first, and said angrily: "Let's go, I haven't eaten breakfast, where is there something to give to you." ”

This made me a little embarrassed, obviously she was treated as an ordinary little rice flower.

Seeing that the little white rabbit was about to close the door, I hurriedly covered the door with my feet, and said urgently: "Little white rabbit, you forgot me?" It's me! ”

"Huh?" The little white rabbit was stunned again, blinked and looked at me again, and finally woke up like a dream-

"Aren't you the little guy in Nine Rivers Town? It's been a good mix in the past few years, and it's mixed up in the county...... Coming to ask for food? You wait, I have to support your career, I'll give you more than two eggs! ”

"Stop!"

I hurriedly grabbed the little white rabbit who turned around to leave, and said, "Master Yan, I'm here to ask you for help!" ”

"Help? What's busy? ”

After the little white rabbit asked, I hurriedly told the story of Jiuhe Town as it was.

The little white rabbit was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning, secretly scolding what those Liu Immortals had done.

I hurriedly said, "Hurry up and ask Master Yan to come over!" I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Who knows, the little white rabbit suddenly changed his face and asked, "But what does this matter to us?" ”
