Chapter 26: Niushan Village (6)
The lonely moon hangs high, and the night in the mountains is surprisingly quiet.
The square-faced man slapped the hideous wolf's head cleanly, peeled off the wolf's skin, and removed the animal bones.
He wanted to take out the dagger, but he smiled helplessly, took out the borrowed kitchen knife, cut the wolf meat into pieces, and put it in a cloth bag.
This big man went to Niushan Village every night to hunt wild beasts, and rushed to the town early in the morning to sell animal meat.
In the past month and a half, not only has he earned a lot of money, but even his cultivation has faintly made a breakthrough.
The big man at the meat stall waved his hand and chopped it on the cutting board again, "Hey." β
"Brother Han, what are you sighing for, but you're waiting for Zhao Si again?" A young man selling eggs came over on the side.
The big man slashed again, "But isn't it, as far as his family's firewood is good, I only buy his firewood." β
The woman selling vegetables folded a handful of vegetable leaves and pouted, "His family's firewood is good, but you can't wrap all the firewood every time, Butcher Han, right? β
Listening to the woman's words, Butcher Han looked disappreciative. secretly said, if it weren't for Zhao Si's marriage, why would he have to make money so hard.
Several vendors around heard these conversations and were also interested.
"Eh, why didn't Zhao Si come today?"
"Yes, Zhao Si only came to the market before, but he has been more and more diligent in the past month. β
"Haven't you heard? He's going to raise money to get married!"
"And this?"
"I heard about the fifteenth of this month. β
"Yo, isn't it fourteen today?"
When the man who was chopping meat heard this, as if he remembered something, he immediately put down the knife in his hand and began to clean up the stall.
"Eh, Brother Han, where are you going?" The young man who sold eggs was a little confused, why did he have to close the stall and go home before the hour?
The square-faced man smiled bitterly, "No, there are some things at home that I have to go back, and I will give you these meats." β
"Brother Han is a generous ......"
"Thank you ......"
After getting along with everyone for more than a month, the new boss Han has won a lot of praise for his generous and excellent quality.
When the man entered Niujia Village, he immediately turned into a little girl, and if anyone saw it on the road, he would think it was a daytime haunting.
The girl gently pushed open the door of a courtyard and found that the owner of the house was still asleep, and quietly slipped into her room, lying on the bed and pretending to sleep.
Although it was a false sleep, hunting a large number of wild beasts at night brought about the fatigue of the morning, and many times she would fall asleep unconsciously.
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
"Miss Qin, are you up?"
"Second girl, let Miss Qin sleep for a few more hours. β
"Dad, Miss Qin has been sleepy these days, isn't there any illness?"
Aunt Zhang interjected, "Nonsense, Erniu, when you were so old, you didn't sleep in your mother's arms all day long, Qin Yatou is growing her body." β
The little girl lying on the bed seemed to have woken up a long time ago, and she didn't know which sentence touched one of the few fragility in her heart, and her eyes were already moist.
She took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and held them tightly in her hand for a long time, until there was no more sound outside the house, and then she took care of herself and went out of the room.
"Sister Erniu. β
"You're up and looking at my embroidery?"
Although the style of this flower is ordinary, and the needlework and cloth used are also very rough, the embroidery is extremely exquisite, even better than those nobles who specialize in women's red in the capital.
Qin Han clapped his hands and praised, "My sister's embroidery is excellent!"
Aunt Zhang also walked over and glanced at the embroidered handkerchief, and said angrily, "What time is this, you are still embroidering, you will let Zhao Si take you back like this?"
"Mother, what do you say. Zhang Erniu's face was flushed, and she lowered her head and squeaked.
"What's the matter, isn't it just that I'm going to get married tomorrow, what can't I say. Daddy Zhang hung red silk in the courtyard, "Old woman, go and bring the happy word." β
"Okay, here we go. β
Qin Han saw that Aunt Zhang was holding a big red flower in her hand, obviously she didn't have any kung fu, so she spoke, "Auntie, I'll take it." β
At the other end of the village, the Zhao family's house was already full of large tables, and the villagers also rushed to help, busy in the yard.
Zhao Si changed into a red wedding dress, "Dad, how is my dress?"
"It's good-looking, it's good-looking, my fourth child looks good in everything. β
On the top of the mountain, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy stands under the old pine with his arms crossed, although his face is not delicate and handsome, nor is it tough and resolute, but it gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
At this point, he just stood, staring into the distance.
Suddenly, he heard a beast's roar, accompanied by a woman's cry in his ears.
The boy's fingertips flexed slightly, shooting straight at the source of the beast's roar, but it seemed to be pointed at the void, without waves, without any response.
As soon as he turned around, after a few breaths, he reached the place where the beast was, but he could not detect the breath of any living creature.
The next moment, a slight ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and as soon as he stretched out his finger, he regained his calm, and there seemed to be something secretly guarding in the void, and it was excellent for breathing, so that people could not find it.
A few hours passed quickly, and at midnight, the villagers of Niushan Village ushered in the demon wind that had not been seen for more than a month.
According to the customs of Niushan Village, the bride wants to marry from the family at the beginning of the year, so Zhang Erniu at this time is dressing up in front of the mirror, and complains from time to time, "Just say that the blind old man's words can't be believed, what a good day is this, how can the demon wind blow at night when it is fine." β
"Sister Erniu, don't worry, maybe the wind will stop when it comes. β
With that, the wind became even more triumphant, roaring against the window, and from time to time it let out a low whining sound, and even the earth seemed to tremble.
Qin Han frowned, she always felt that this matter was not so simple, and then said to Zhang Erniu, "Sister Erniu, I'll go out and see what's going on outside." β
"Eh, don't run around at night as a child. Before the second girl finished speaking, the little girl was already gone in the house.
Outside, the wind was fierce, like a group of black crazy dragons, trying to devour the earth.
The girl narrowed her eyes and quickly ran in the direction of the wind source.
"Roarβ"
Damn! It's a cannibal!
As soon as the girl pulled out a kitchen knife and protected it in front of her, she heard the sound of breaking the air in the distance. The next moment, there was one more person in front of him.
When the boy saw the kitchen knife in the girl's hand, the corners of his mouth twitched. (If it weren't for the dagger in space, a certain woman would definitely not use a kitchen knife!)
Seeing the visitor, Qin Han was very surprised, "It's you?"
The boy's voice was a little grumpy, "Well, it's me. Master asked me to wait for you on the mountain, and I have been waiting on the mountain for most of the day. β
The girl tugged at the corner of her clothes a little embarrassed, stumbled and said, "It's really unfortunate, Sister Erniu has to prepare for marriage today, so ......"
"Whoa, whoaβ"
"Whoa, whoaβ"
Two more beast roars, followed by cries for help. It is also accompanied by the collapse of houses, and the dull sound of footsteps, which pushes people into the abyss of despair step by step.
Qin Han and the boy glanced at each other, and then invariably skimmed towards the village......
The wind was like a ferocious beast, whistling and roaring, and there was a mess everywhere it passed.
The young man ran to the ruins covered with red silk, kept pulling the broken clods and bricks with his hands, and shouted, "Where are you, Erniu? Erniuβ"
"Fourth, what are you doing? Why don't you come over quickly!"
Father Zhao stood in the shed that the villagers had just set up, and scolded angrily at the young man, "Zhao Si! Come here, do you want to be eaten by monsters!"
"No, as long as we find Erniu, as long as we find her, we can get married today......" Zhao Si muttered to himself, and his subordinates continued to rummage through clods of dirt.
An ugly head, sharp fangs, huge eyes like brass bells, and the occasional gurgling sound in the throat suddenly poked out in the night, all showing that this was a monster!
"The monster is here! Fourth Brother Zhao, come back quickly!"
"Yes, let's come back first!"
Zhao Si seemed to be indifferent to the affairs of the outside world, and when he saw a slender white palm stretched out from the ruins, his face couldn't hide his joy, "Erniu, don't worry! I'll come to save you right away!"
The monster seemed to be hungry, and ran towards the ruins with its hooves, opening its foul mouth and exhaling a gust of wind.
The clothes on the young man's body were thin, and they had already been scratched in three or two breaths, revealing hideous wounds on his body, and the bright red that flowed out gave off a deadly smell of blood.
The monster roared and bit down on the young man.
Suddenly, I heard a young boy's voice coming, "Evil beast!" Then two fingers pierced the void and hit the big fishy mouth.
The monster whimpered and stepped back, spitting out two mouthfuls of bloody saliva from its mouth, as if it had been hit hard, but its cloudy eyes were terrifyingly bright and glowing red.
"Oh no! It's a cannibal, it's going berserk! You drag it first!"
As soon as the girl stabilized her figure, she saw the red in the beast's eyes, and subconsciously held the kitchen knife in her hand tightly with one hand, and began to gather internal force with the other hand.
