Chapter 26: Alarmist
Seeing her master's actions, a smile appeared on the girl's face, and then her figure moved, jumping directly from the wooden bridge to the bottom of the bridge.
After walking a few steps in the pile of rocks by the stream, the girl came to Zhou Qing's side, picked him up from the ground, and reached out to probe his neck.
"Master, it's a little boy who has been wounded. The girl shouted to the master not far away.
When the woman on the bridge heard her apprentice's words, she replied in a very cold tone, "You can save him with a pill." ”
Hearing this, the girl reached out and took out a jade bottle in a pocket on her waist, poured out a small pill from the bottle and stuffed it into Zhou Qing's mouth.
The entrance of the pill, as the saliva dissolved, automatically drilled into the comatose Zhou Qing's lower abdomen.
"cough~cough~"
After taking the pill, Zhou Qing quickly woke up from his coma.
When he woke up, he felt a fragrance wafting in his nose, so he quickly opened his eyes, and a delicate and lovely face that had not taken off his childishness came into his eyes.
"Wake up, little boy. Seeing Zhou Qing wake up, the girl let go of the hand that was holding him, and then took out a handkerchief, wet it by the stream on the side, and handed it to Zhou Qingdao, "Wipe your face." ”
Originally thought that he was going to die by this pile of rocks, but when he woke up, he saw this girl who was a few years older than him, and at the same time, Zhou Qing was also surprised to find that the leg that had been bitten by the poisonous snake did not feel too much pain at this moment, he tried to move, and found that if the leg got up and walked, there was no problem at all.
"Thank you, young lady, for saving your life. Zhou Qing took the handkerchief and stood up from the ground.
"You're welcome, you're wearing a bright red robe, otherwise I probably wouldn't have spotted you. The girl smiled beautifully.
"I ......"
When Zhou Qing was about to say a word, on the wooden bridge not far away, the girl's master issued a urging voice, "Xi'er, we should go." ”
"I'm gone, little boy. After the girl left these words, she turned and walked towards the wooden bridge.
"Little sister, what's your name?" When the girl left, Zhou Qing asked.
"My name is Lin Yunxi. ”
......
In the end, under Zhou Qing's eyes, the figures of the master and apprentice disappeared at the end of the road at the end of the wooden bridge.
Standing on the wooden bridge for a while, Zhou Qing looked at the handkerchief he was holding, and after a few glances, he put the handkerchief into his side pocket and walked into the path at the other end of the bridge.
Thinking back to the danger of last night, before he knew it, he came to the edge of a small village.
The village is not large, with about forty or fifty households, built in two rows facing each other, and there is a wide road in the middle of the village.
Because it was the busy farming season, when Zhou Qing passed through the village, he only saw some old and young and pregnant women in the village, walking from the head of the village to the end of the village, Zhou Qing finally stopped in front of a house at the end of the village.
In front of the house, there was a woman of about thirty years old, with a big belly, and beside the woman, there was a young child who was unsteady on his feet, leaning against the wall and learning to walk.
"I'm disturbing the eldest sister, Xiaodao is polite, I wonder if the eldest sister can give me some food?"
Yesterday, I went out to the ghosts of Baihe Village, so when I went out, Zhou Qing didn't bring any money, and thought about it in my heart, and after walking to the end of the village, he opened his mouth to ask the women in the village for food.
Because Zhou Qing was wearing a bright red robe, he had attracted the attention of the villagers when he first entered the village, and when he spoke, the pregnant woman had already looked at him carefully.
"It's a wandering little Taoist, come here, I'll go to the backyard and get you two pieces of bread. The woman was kind, and after hearing Zhou Qing's request, she answered with a smile and went down to the backyard.
Not long after, the woman returned to the front of the house with two pieces of bread and a piece of chopsticks.
"Xiaodao Chief, there is still some gruel here, so you can eat it with the bread. ”
After taking the cake and porridge, Zhou Qingyan thanked him, and then squatted directly aside to eat, and after a burst of gobbling, a bowl of porridge and two cakes entered his belly.
In the middle of the meal, Zhou Qing asked the woman about something, from which he learned that the small village was more than a hundred miles away from the county seat of Jinling.
"Thank you, big sister. After eating, Zhou Qing returned the empty dishes and chopsticks to the woman, and then followed the woman's guidance and went to the direction of Jinling County.
He had not gone far from the end of the village when he suddenly stopped again, for he thought of the goblin that had burrowed into the mountain lake.
The lake was not far from the village, and the village was bound to suffer tonight, so he had to go back to the village and convince the people of the village to help as much as possible, and maybe he could get rid of the ghost, who had a direct connection with him for coming here.
Returning to the village the same way, Zhou Qing inquired about the village chief's home from the woman who gave him food, and then went straight away.
When Zhou Qing came to his door, he saw the old village chief lying on a long bamboo chair, intently flipping through a book.
"Disturb the old man, you are the village chief of this village, right?" Looking at the old man on the bamboo chair, Zhou Qing asked.
Hearing this, the old man put down the book in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Qing for a while, before he said, "It's a little Taoist, what's the matter with you?"
Zhou Qing smiled and took two steps closer to the old man, and then explained the reason why he returned to the village.
After finishing speaking, he saw that the old village chief had a puzzled expression, and at the same time looked at himself with a very complicated look in his eyes.
"Little guy, don't be alarmist about ghosts, your deceptive skills won't work with me, I don't think you're too young to be embarrassed by you, you can leave by yourself. ”
Originally, he was kind enough to return to warn, but now he is being treated as a liar, but Zhou Qing thought of this situation when he returned to the village, so he was not angry after hearing the old village chief's words.
As a young boy, if he said such a thing without any basis, he would definitely be regarded as a liar.
What's more, he returned to the village so that the villagers of this village could escape. The fundamental reason for this is because the ghost was led to this neighborhood by Zhou Qing.
"Haha, there is no evidence, I said this, and it is normal for the old man to look at me like a liar. Zhou Qing laughed and looked at the village chief.
The village chief originally thought that after what he said just now, Zhou Qing would leave with interest, but now he saw that instead of leaving, he showed a behavior that was not like what he should have at his age, which couldn't help but make the village chief a little surprised.
"Dao Chief, you mean, you have the credentials in your hand?" the village chief stood up from the bamboo chair, a faint hint of panic on his face.
"Nope. Zhou Qing shook his head bluntly, "Old man, would you like to listen to me talk about it in detail?"
After the conversation just now, Zhou Qing at this time had a different image in the eyes of the village chief, the old man nodded, took out a wooden stool from the house and put it in front of Zhou Qing.
Immediately after, Zhou Qing gave a general account of what happened last night and why he came here.
