Chapter 3: Nightmares Come

"... The old lady of the Yan family just didn't let us Yu Shao marry an inferior maid as a wife, you still sent the maid there, there was no sincerity at all, Yu Shao rest assured, buddy has a sister, if Yu Shao doesn't dislike it, she.... It's your wife who hasn't passed through the door, and I'll have the final say."

The second young master said drunkly, his mouth began to indulge, as for him, the hereditary title in the family, there is no power, a little land is rented to the farmer, and some tenant rent is collected, it is estimated that the family property will be lost in a few generations, he himself is so ugly, and fat, how good-looking his sister can be, no need to look at it, I have already imagined it on my toes, the big deal is just to climb my family, put aside whether I like it or not, you can also find a reliable one to talk about

"But put away your words, I went to your house to drink last time, and inadvertently glanced at the sister you said, ouch, Mom, I almost didn't scare me to death, fat like a pig, and I looked crooked and cracked, I was hiding in the corner of the wall and squeezing my eyebrows, I don't know how to be ashamed, you still have the face to say it, we Yu Shao is so handsome and dignified, no matter how you have to find a peerless beauty, you say yes."

Young Master Jiang retorted, this sycophant is so cool, I like it, it suits my appetite

"Eh, it's really not good, it's better to be a concubine... Also... It doesn't hurt, it's been a long time, change... It's okay to sleep with a different taste."

The second young drunk then said, I didn't want to interrupt them, but I can't interject, I only have my Ping'er in my head, forget it, let you make fun of the master, don't worry, let's still be buddies

"Phew, if you want to say this, I still think that our young master and Ping'er are better together, Ping'er will always secretly give me delicious food, and she has a good temperament, and she looks good when she laughs, just like a flower..."

The little whistle on the side can't stop it, for this kid, I have already thought about it, let him follow me all my life, let me bully, and talk when I am sad, except for him, I guess no one reassures me so much

"You kid knows how to eat, is it possible that you also have a crush on Ping'er? hahaha.... Get out of the way, young masters, what kind of mouth do you have, if you have more mouths, I will suck you, look at your minion"

The second young master pointed to the little whistle and glared at the beads of the eyes and said, it is estimated that Fang Cai's anger is holding back in his heart, and he is worried that there is nowhere to sprinkle, and the only one who can be bullied here is the little whistle

"Shut up, I'm the only one in my heart, Ping'er is alone, the other women are all farts, come, give me drinks"

"Yes, drinking, in addition to beauties, there are also poems and wine in the world."

The tenth uncle on the side also said, he rarely answers, he has played together since childhood, and I will call him for anything, but the more I grow up, the more rusty I become

"Yes... , drink and drink, you have to get drunk today, and whoever doesn't get drunk is the egg laid by the old turtle"

I poured another bowl down

"Little whistle, you drink it too, what kind of girl are you pretending, come, drink this wine for Jiang Shao, don't give face... I will pour the altar into you."

Er Shao raised the wine bowl and handed it to the little whistle, but the little whistle didn't answer

"Hmph, I don't drink it, a group of drunkards, every time the young master gets drunk, he vomits everywhere, and I have to clean it up, I don't drink, who will take care of my young master, besides, the wine is so unpleasant, I don't want to drink it from the bottom of my heart"

"Hey, don't give face, do you?

The second rare person has not yet come back from the face just now, and now he can't get off the stage, how can he do it, so he has to come to something hard

"Okay, don't be embarrassed for him, let's drink"

Er Shao put away his body, his face was very puzzled, "That's okay, I'll go and shhh

"Hmph.... Not at all."

The little whistle sticks in his hands, and he looks like he is not afraid of you

"Come on, come on... Then drink...."

It's getting dark, a group of people are drunk everywhere, some are holding the wine jar, some are snoring, only me, today is full of wine, still drinking, the little whistle on the side has been scolded several times, and I don't dare to come forward to dissuade me, until I suddenly lay down in a daze

I don't know how long I slept, in a coma, I seemed to see myself entering the ghost gate, the old Hades said that I was a disaster to the world, and I was going to fry me in the oil pan, that situation, I was so scared that I struggled for you, anyway, until the moment I opened my eyes, what appeared in front of me was a bad old man who had never seen before, he was meditating with his eyes closed

Where is this, what happened? I don't have any memory at all, my head hurts, it's blank

"Ahem, where is this, who are you? What have you done to me? Let me go, otherwise, I will never let you go."

I couldn't exert any strength in my whole body, and I felt that there were worms crawling in my five organs

“... Don't say that a Yanjiabao is a famous sect such as Huasheng Temple, and the old man has never put it in his eyes, hum"

The old man's hair was scattered, and there was a stench on his body that had never been bathed, and it made me sick

Seeing that the old man is so arrogant, he shouldn't be a good person, the details of the enemy and me are unknown, in order to save his life, it is better to be cautious and polite

"Then, dare to ask the old-timer, how many days have I slept and why is it tingling all over my body?"

"Hmm.... You've slept for seven days, and you've been so drunk that you've almost entered the Ghost Gate, and if it weren't for me, you would have been buried in the ground."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "If I saved your life, you owe me a lot."

"What, you've slept for seven days? Thank you for the care of the old-timers in the past few days, the younger generations have nothing to repay, come to Yanjiabao to find me another day, I am the young master of Yanjiabao, my father is the famous Yanjingtian, I will give a generous gift, thank you for your old life-saving grace, I will go first.... Ahem.... Yes.... Whew"

After I finished speaking, I wanted to get up and leave, but my whole body was in pain, so I had to lie down again

"Dare to ask my seniors, what's wrong with me? Why am I still uncomfortable and weak? cough..."

"Although you have cured the poison of alcohol and saved a small life, you have been poisoned by other poisons"

The old man said very happily, and he didn't forget to come over and open my eyes to see, oh my God! Excuse me, bad old man, can you not get so close, you really stink

"Poisoned? Dare to ask me why I was poisoned again, this feeling... It makes me itch, ache, sore, and tired.... No strength at all."

"Hmm, I gave this poison...."

After the old man finished speaking, he sat aside with a blank face, as if he had nothing to do with him

I'm so angry in my heart, are you so arrogant, why are you going to poison me? Can't you poison a cat or a dog? You came to harm the master, no! Could it be that he is the sworn enemy of my Yan family, and he wants to harm my family? God, my ancestors, I am still so immature, and I haven't enjoyed enough happiness in this world, which ancestor brought the disaster that fell on the head of this young master

"Didn't my predecessor recognize the wrong person, my grandmother is still waiting for me to come home for dinner, don't make a fuss, please give me a detoxification, I just want to go home now, I can find a way to give you whatever you want, can you let me go?"

I pleaded pitifully, I must be soft at this time, and my life is still in the hands of others

"Your grandmother, still eating, I think you're going to eat the ashes of the dead, huh."

"What do you say? I don't understand, you make it clear.... What dead man's heap?.... You...."

The old man pinned his head to the side and never spoke again, no matter how much I yelled, because he actually tore a piece of cloth from his body and stuffed it in my mouth, Mom, this is a pain that I will never forget, in tears

For a few days in a row, except for the point that fed me to my and let me and pee, I never said a superfluous word, I observed carefully, this is a cave, not very big, the old monster has been sitting next to me and meditating, I have nothing but glaring at him with my eyes, I really want to go home, I have never felt so inseparable from that place, and even I still miss my father, if he can come to save me, beat me fifty lashes, I think, will they find that I am gone, and they are also anxiously looking for me

Finally, the old monster came to see my face, opened my eyes and looked at it again, fed me a stinky and bitter pill, and unlocked my dumb hole

"You dead old man, stinky old man.... , I want to go home, I want to go back and tell my dad that if you torture me so much, he will not go around you..... Eh, I can move, and my body doesn't hurt anymore, hehe.... Ah, comfortable."

I was angry at first, then I felt very comfortable and twisted my waist

At the same time, I had a bold idea, now that I have been well, clean up this stinky old man, it is not a matter of three punches and two kicks, I must take advantage of his unpreparedness, beat him to the ground with one move, who told him to torture me for a few days

Without much thought, I turned my backhand with an elbow and hit him in the head

"Eh, eh, I was wrong, let go, you twisted my hand.... It hurts, it hurts... It hurts, spare your life.... Woo woo no.... Ahh

Not to mention, I lost, I lost very convincingly, he killed me in seconds, twisted both of our arms with one move, and the pain I had never felt before made my face full of tears

"You still want to hurt the old man with your little arm, hum, I can't help myself, my arm is like this, I'll see how you perform tomorrow and I will twist it back for you"

After the old man finished speaking, he sat down again and meditated

I suddenly felt that I should practice martial arts well, even a stinky old man could bully me like this, I grew so big, and no one really hurt me like this, except for my father

At night, my joints were swollen and I couldn't sleep

"Old-timer, I was wrong, please, twist my two arms back, I don't dare anymore"

I knelt in front of him pitifully, this is the first time in my life to beg someone like this, I imagine that he should be moved, to my surprise, he didn't even raise his eyelids, I was grateful for strangling him, but my hand hurt, I didn't obey the call, so I had to walk back obediently

That night, I had insomnia, I couldn't sleep lying down, I couldn't sleep standing up, my arms were numb and painful as if they were leaving my body, I sat all night, looked at the cave sluggishly and thought about it for a night, I never thought that one day I would be bullied like this, the taste of being bullied was so uncomfortable, I began to think about Old Man Liu, if I can go back, I must go and apologize to him

Before dawn, I fell asleep, I couldn't hold on, in my dream, Ping'er came to me, we had a good time, and when I opened my eyes, the strange old man was gone

"Old man, old man...."

I found out of the cave, this is a big mountain, I have never seen around, I don't know where I am, so I have to shout, don't leave me alone here, my hands are still swollen

"The old man, the old horseman, the old thief, the old thing...."

I shouted, tears came out, I was alone and scared like I had never felt before

"Uh-huh"

There was a sudden cough behind me, and I turned around happily, the old man was standing not far away, and there were a few snakes twisted in his hands, which looked like poisonous snakes, still winding and writhing there

"Snake..."

I took a few steps back

"What kind of snake is not a snake, the old man in your mouth roasted and fed you every day is this, I think you eat quite deliciously."

The old man said with his eyes slightly closed

"What? Hey, you actually gave Young Master Ben this kind of food, huh..."

I wanted to vomit, but there was nothing in my belly

"Okay, your hard life is still ahead, maybe one day you will thank the old man for teaching you so many skills"

After the old man finished speaking, he walked over, stretched out his right hand and grabbed my arm and twisted it

The two hands finally returned, and I didn't dare to move anymore, and I finally proved with my pain that I couldn't do anything with him

Back in the cave, the old monster peeled the snake skin and took the gall, I was bullied as I wished, he ordered the young master's acupoint again, fed me the snake gall, I swear, I want to vomit

I can only curse him in my heart, torture me like this without my master's consent, so angry, but I can't beat him, I want to cry, hum

"You're almost fine, get up and move your shins."

The old man untied my acupoint, walked aside and scraped the snakeskin, which was still eaten raw, and the form was as brutal as tearing a sack

"Thank you for saving your life"

"You don't have to.... The old man has walked the rivers and lakes for many years and killed countless people, and the old man saved you because of another person."

"Dare to ask the seniors, who is that person in your mouth, and does it have anything to do with me?"

"You'll know later, come with me"

The old man got up a few times and walked out of the hole, and I hurried to catch up

"Senior, are you going to take me back to Yanjiabao?

I'm so happy I can finally go home

"Go home, where do you still have a home, come with me, go to another place"

I stopped, I don't have a home, what are you kidding, my grandfather's home is big

"What do you mean I don't have a home? The younger generation's home is big, as long as you take me back to Yanjiabao, delicious food, drink and fun, the younger generation will make your old man reluctant to leave, hehehe..."

I saw that he also stopped, but did not look back

"Well, if you don't let you die, you definitely won't go back with the old man with peace of mind, but Huiyan Jiabao must promise me three conditions, first, bring this mask, second, I must order your dumb hole, and third, you must not be righteous, everything is arranged by the old man."

With these three conditions, it doesn't matter to me

"As long as I can reply to Jiabao, don't say three, I'm happy to say thirty, come on"

I took the mask that the old monster handed me, and it stinks

"What kind of mask are you, it stinks"

The old man came over and clicked on my dumb, and clicked a little more, and it was over, and I couldn't move anything except my feet

"Human Skin Mask"

The old man pushed me after ordering, and his tone was very cold

I cursed in my heart for the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, wearing this ghost thing for my grandfather, bad luck, woo woo, so disgusting

Jiazhou City Yanjia Fort

Finally arrived at Yanjiabao, I looked around, the doors of every house were closed, I remember that the street used to be lively, when so many officers and soldiers came to guard

With the help of the old monster, I flew from the roofs one by one, there seemed to be a burning smell in the air, it was almost time to Yanjiabao, the old man held my head, and we bowed our heads and lay on the roof where no one was noticeable, I wondered, why is it so difficult for me to go home

"A lot of people are looking for you, most of them are people who want to kill you, if you want to live, be quiet"

What is this called? Who is it to scare?

When I looked up at the moment, I was dumbfounded, at a glance, it was all ruins, the former Yanjiabao was no longer there, and some places were still smoking from the fire, I couldn't believe my eyes, my dignified Yanjiabao was actually destroyed, it happened in my sleep, I didn't know anything, at this moment, I was anxious, I struggled hard, my feet exhausted my strength, I wanted to go home, I wanted to see my family, grandmother, father, Ping'er, little whistle, Yan'er master.... and whether many more loved ones are still alive

The old man held my body down, and I had no strength to break free, and finally I took a blow and fainted

When I woke up, it was already dark, it seemed to be an abandoned land temple on the edge of the city, I brought people here to play when I was a child, and at that time I was still peeing on the land, and the strange old man was roasting a chicken on the side, I didn't care about the fragrance of the real thing, and tried my best to struggle past, and begged him to untie my dumb hole with tears in my eyes

Maybe seeing that I was too pitiful, the old man unlocked my hole

"Old-timer, you tell me, what the hell happened, you tell me, what I see is fake, right?"

"Self-deception, what you see is true"

The old man roasted the chicken with an expressionless face, and did not forget to take it and smell it

"Please, let me go back, even if it's true, die, I'm going to die with my family"

Although I could speak, I couldn't stand up when I lay on the ground, and I knew he hadn't unlocked my acupoint

"Hmph, where did so many things come from, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't care if you died or not, the old man never pitied anyone, if you want to see me, I'll show you, we'll leave here at dawn tomorrow"

"I'm not leaving, I'm going back... I'm going to die with them..."

I struggled to crawl outside

The old man did not pity me, he watched indifferently from behind, I knew that I could not climb far, and at this moment, I realized how useless I was

I lay outside exhausted, I was so exhausted that I passed out in the dark

I don't know how long it has been

I was dazed and a little conscious, I felt like I was on the back of a man, and at the moment he was jumping, running, occasionally like flying

When I finally tried to open my eyes, it was the old man who was carrying me on his back and shuttling on the roof, and he was doing very well and making no sound at all

We landed in a dark place, and he put me down

"I'll take another risk for you, it's for her, remember, don't make a sound, someone is waiting for you in secret, if you are discovered, you and I may die, these people are still waiting for you to take revenge, take a good look for yourself"

After the old man finished speaking, I unlocked my death hole, and I was finally able to move, and I slowly got up, and the smell of smoke and blood was all around, and there were still fires in some places that had not been extinguished

The surroundings were unusually quiet, and in a trance, someone was crying and screaming, like the sound of countless unjust souls screaming

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, I can see the surrounding environment clearly, I know this, this is in front of the door of my bedroom, this tree in front of the door is as big as me, my father planted it, I am familiar with it, I can find the direction with my eyes closed, even it is about to be scorched, everywhere is ruins, my heart really hurts

"Grandmother, Ping'er, Little Whistle, Master Yan'er.... Where are you?"

I shouted in my heart

I groped my way to Ping'er's room, only she was closer to me, and by the moonlight, I walked step by step, occasionally stepping on something slimy under my feet, the air was so smelly that I didn't want to tell myself it was blood

"Oops"

I tripped over my feet unconsciously, and was about to fall, but fortunately the old man grabbed and lifted me up

"Shhhh

The old monster covered my mouth and whispered, even he was so nervous, he must be a very powerful character

I stood firm, took a closer look, it was a person, when I saw it clearly, I knew that it was my beloved master Yan'er, her face was blurred, her face was hideous, if it weren't for her sword, I'm afraid even I wouldn't recognize who she was, but the old man stood aside unmoved, sure enough, it was a murderous person, he had long been numb to this scene

I held my breath and forced myself to endure the pain in my heart and continued to walk

I finally broke down, Ping'er's room had already been set up, and I saw two headless corpses, and the gold bracelet I gave her was still on my hand

"No"

I finally couldn't control my tears and cried, I dug open the headless corpse in front of me, I knew it was a small whistle, he must have been in front of Ping'er to protect Ping'er, he was beheaded together, I desperately hugged Ping'er's corpse and cried, I swore that I would take revenge, I would kill them

"Ahh

With such a loud voice, the whole city should be able to hear it, let alone a shrewd master
