Chapter Twenty-Seven: True
"Shopkeeper's! sauce meat! old wine!"
Wearing a small embroidered skirt, pinching a small waist, and looking like a little adult, Luo Zheng, who was just seven years old, stood in front of the counter of Yunlai Restaurant in Yuyin Town, and held the silver money in his hand in the direction of the counter.
Seventeen-year-old Luo Xiao stood at the door of the restaurant in a plain long dress, smiling at his sister Luo Zheng.
"Yo! Isn't this Xiao Xiao and Xiao Zheng, it's going to be dark now, why did you come to town?"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant looked at the two little girls and asked with concern.
"At noon today, an uncle came back and told us that my father and mother would come back tonight, and I saw that there was no food or drink at home, so I took my sister to buy some ready-made food. ”
Luo Xiao at the door looked at the shopkeeper and replied with a smile.
The two sisters live in Luojiazhuang, thirty miles away from Yuyin Town, and the two sisters will follow the adults in the Zhuangzi to play early when there is a market in the town on weekdays, and return to Zhuangzi with the adults at noon.
Because the older sister is dignified and the younger sister is cute, almost everyone in Yuyin Town knows these two sisters.
It was almost dark, and it was the first time that the two of them had come to town.
The kite in front of the counter was noisy, and he raised the money in his hand upward, learned the tone of the adult, and said in a rough voice: "Shopkeeper's! Sauce and meat! Old wine!"
"Hahaha, okay, how much?"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant was amused by the falling kite.
Luo Xiao replied with a smile: "Two catties of sauce meat, two pots of old wine are good." ”
"Good. ”
"Go, pack two catties of sauce meat and two pots of old wine, the scale is high!"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant took the money from Luozheng and instructed the guy on the side.
The man heard the command, nodded, and ran into the back kitchen with a cigarette and was out of sight.
It took a long time to return to the counter with two packets of beef sauce and two pots of old wine.
"It's really grinding!"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant reprimanded him dissatisfiedly, then looked at the two sisters with a kind smile and handed over the wine and meat.
"Here, take it. ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
Luo Zheng happily took the wine and meat and ran out.
Luo Xiao smiled and nodded, said goodbye, turned around and grabbed his sister Luo Zheng and walked towards the tethered horse stake next to the store.
A white-eared donkey stood honestly beside the tethered horse, Luo Xiao picked up the kite, untied the reins, turned over on the donkey, flicked the whip, drove the donkey, and ran out of the town.
Along the way, the two sisters talked and laughed, Luo Zheng kept asking her sister if her father and mother would bring them back delicious and fun, and Luo Xiao smiled perfunctorily, casually answering yes yes.
In the middle of the day, the two approached Zhuangzi, and saw the gate of Zhuangzi from a distance, Luo Xiao just wanted to urge the little donkey to run a few steps, when he heard a chaotic sound from the woods.
Luo Xiao subconsciously pulled the reins and stopped the little donkey, wanting to hear what the messy sound was about.
Before she could hear clearly, she saw a fireball flying in the forest on the side of Zhuangzi and flying towards the wall of Zhuangzi.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and rockets like rain flew up from the forest and shot towards Zhuangzi.
After the rain of arrows, the smoke and dust in the forest suddenly rose, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a pair of men in black rode on horses and rushed into Zhuangzi under the reflection of the firelight.
The flames soared into the sky, and shouts of killing were everywhere.
The two sisters were shocked by what they saw, and froze in place, having lost their minds for a while, and did not know what to do at all.
There was a muffled sound, the gate of Zhuangzi was struck, and he fell to the ground, a woman was covered in blood, holding a long stick, lying down on the gate, a flying sword flew out of the firelight, slowly approaching the woman, behind the flying sword, was a thin and tall figure.
The bloodied woman struggled to turn over, trying to get to her feet.
As soon as he held his hands on the ground, when he looked up, he saw the Luoxiao and Luozheng sisters who were stunned in the distance.
The two sisters also saw the woman's face clearly, it was their mother.
Looking at each other, Luo Zheng screamed in horror and shouted, "Mother!"
The woman's face was panicked, as if she wanted to stop it.
Luo Xiao immediately understood what his mother meant, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he covered Luo Zheng's mouth.
But it was too late, and the figure of the flying sword had already noticed the two sisters.
"I really didn't expect it to be so big. ”
The figure sighed, unable to hear men and women, in the firelight, I saw that the figure was wearing a black fox mask on its face, looking at the figure and the knee-length hair, it should be a woman.
"Run!"
The bloodied woman shouted hoarsely, and with all her strength she stood up from the ground, and the long rod with the glow of the spell was raised high and smashed towards the ground.
With a loud bang, the ground around the black fox woman suddenly bulged, forming a stone cover, trapping it in it.
The bloodied woman panted and turned around, and when she saw that the two sisters were still stunned, she shouted again: "Run!
Burst!
The flying sword with blue light broke through the stone cover and pierced through the chest of the bloody woman.
The bloody woman was stunned, slowly lowered her head, looked at the blood hole in her chest, raised her head with difficulty, looked at the two sisters in the distance, and opened her mouth with great difficulty, trying to urge the two to escape, but she still couldn't make a sound.
Luo Xiao bit his lower lip fiercely, blood slowly flowed, and he held back his grief and hugged the frightened puppet like a kite, and pulled the reins, urging the little donkey to flee into the woods.
Not long after running out, he heard the sound of breaking wind behind him, Luo Xiao was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw the forest behind him swaying, and a faint blue light appeared in the darkness, and the black fox woman Edgeworth chased after him.
Luo Xiao clenched her silver teeth and urged the little donkey urgently, but she knew in her heart that the black fox woman who was driving the flying sword would soon catch up.
Looking at the sluggish and unresponsive Luo Zheng in his arms, Luo Xiao's eyes fluttered for a while, and then suddenly became sharp, and he reached out and took out two runes from his arms, one was attached to the Luo Zheng, and the other was secretly thrown into the dark woods.
After running out for a while, seeing that the black fox woman was getting closer and closer, Luo Xiao pressed one hand on the back of the kite, injected a spiritual power into her body, and woke it up.
Luo Zheng woke up faintly, leaned weakly in Luo Xiao's arms, looked up at Luo Xiao, and said softly: "Sister... ..."
Luo Xiao lowered his head, looked at Luo Zheng and smiled faintly, and said softly: "It's okay, everyone is fine, don't worry." ”
"Listen to the kite, there are bad people chasing us now, and my sister will use the teleportation charm taught by my mother to teleport you out first. ”
"It's going to be a little dark after that, but don't be afraid, my sister will find a way to protect you. ”
"When daybreak is complete, and there is no one around, you head south. ”
"Listen, don't go home, go south. ”
"Father, mother, sister, and everyone in the Zhuangzi are all in the southern ghost pass. ”
"Because there are bad people, we can't come and pick you up, we can only wait for you there. ”
"Zheng Zheng must be well-behaved, you must go to the Imperial Ghost Pass to find us. ”
The blue flying sword was getting closer and closer, and Luo Xiao lay in Luo Zheng's ear, holding back his tears, and whispered.
Luo Zheng raised his head weakly, looked at Luo Xiao, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But Luo Xiao couldn't wait to listen, he pressed the rune paper on the back of the falling kite with one hand, and silently chanted the incantation, the spiritual power poured into it, the rune paper lit up with a faint light, and the falling kite disappeared.
