A bonfire is blazing.

Behind the bonfire, there is a dark mountain that swallows up all light.

Suddenly, a deep voice came out of the darkness: "Boy, leave all your belongings behind!"

After he said that, a young man spoke: "I'm sorry, the junior didn't have a penny on him." ”

Then, a voice that looked like a man and a woman sounded: "Since you don't have any money, let's leave your name." As soon as he finished speaking, sneers of different lengths rang out at the same time. If you count them carefully, there are twenty or thirty people.

"If the seniors kill the juniors, they won't get the silver, so why do you have to do more?"

The man who looked like a woman laughed and said, "You have seen our faces clearly, if you let you out, how can we get good fruit to eat?"

Immediately, the man with a deep voice shouted, "Kill!"

The killing intent contained in the word "kill" can be described as extremely enthusiastic, and as soon as he said that, the bonfire outside suddenly ignited half a zhang high! Through this raging fire, one could faintly see a face full of scars hidden and in the darkness.

"That junior, offended. ”

Before the young man could finish speaking, he heard the clanging of swords colliding. The half-foot high bonfire kept beating, as if telling the fierce battle in the darkness. After a while, the sound of the fierce battle in the darkness was like a dead flag, and there was no movement.

The half-foot tall flame also abruptly reverted to its original form, and turned into a bonfire that could only illuminate itself.

A pair of clear eyes had been watching the darkness when the sound of the battle had ceased. The clear-eyed master smiled and said to himself in an old voice, "Good boy. With that, a figure carrying a long object stepped out of the darkness.

Although he had just experienced a fierce battle, his face was as usual, and there was no damage on his body. He sat down by the campfire again, and made a fire, the bright flames reflecting his stubborn, immature face.

Suddenly, the old laughter rang out from all directions.

The boy hurriedly stood up and hid his body in the darkness again. In the darkness, the boy looked around, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find where the laughter had come from. He reached out and made a move back, and a steel knife burst through the air and landed in his hand. The boy was like a great enemy, and he was silent, waiting for the man to appear.

But suddenly, the young man heard an old man laugh and said, "Young man, come and bake the fire, this autumn night is cold." ”

When the boy heard this, he was shocked. He looked forward and saw an old man with gray hair, sitting by the campfire, smiling at him. The young man was shocked that he had not noticed when the old man had appeared.

The boy shook his head and threw the steel knife on the ground, he knew that it was also a burden to hold. In front of this old man, he didn't have the slightest power to fight back. The young man walked out, and he hugged his fists and said, "Seniors, juniors still have to hurry, so don't bother much." With that, the boy was leaving.

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, you set out from Yuzhou, and all the way is a night road. Walking too much at night will inevitably encounter ghosts, and along the way, these five gangs of gangsters encountered are not comfortable. ”

When the young man heard this, his eyes were full of vigilance. He secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that he has been following me all the way, so what is his intention?" Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but stretch out his right hand behind his back and press the long thing behind him.

The old man smiled and said, "Come and sit, if the old man wants to harm you, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Yuzhou." ”

The boy hesitated for a moment, but walked over. But instead of sitting down, he stood at a distance from the old man, one foot flat on the ground, and the other on tiptoe. He was ready to run away at any moment.

"I don't know why the seniors are following the juniors?"

"Stalking?" The old man laughed when he heard this: "The old man has no whereabouts to conceal, and he has no purpose for you, so how can he talk about tracking? Since I can go on a ride with my friends, I want to come out and say goodbye. ”

The young man's brows tightened, and he secretly said in his heart: "If what this old man said is true, he didn't deliberately follow me along the way, but my cultivation didn't notice this old man at all. There are only two possibilities for this, one is that this old man's cultivation is far above mine. The second is that this old man has cultivated the exercises or martial arts of concealing the aura. I just hope that if he is in the second case, then if he is harmful, I can still give it a go. ”

"You killed them?"

The old man's words interrupted the young man's thoughts, and the young man said lightly: "No, the junior just knocked them unconscious." ”

The old man smiled: "Xiaoyou should find a place to live at night, there are many thieves in this mountain, you can deal with it." But he didn't get past the second wave. ”

The young man smiled and said, "The juniors are shy and can't afford to live in the inn." ”

The old man nodded and said, "The old man met a post station on the road, where can the little friend go to rest." ”

"The station?" the young man wondered, "Isn't that a place where only people in the government can live?"

The old man stroked his long beard and said, "It's deserted." ”

The young man said in his heart: "I don't know what the hell he is doing, since he asked me to go to the station, then I will pretend to agree, and I will run away first." After thinking about it, the young man said, "Thank you seniors, but I don't know where the deserted post station is?"

The old man smiled when he heard this: "You can see it if you go more than 20 miles to the north." ”

In that case, the junior will take his leave first. With that, the boy couldn't wait to pull out his legs and run wildly towards the north.

After the boy left, the old man picked up a wooden stick and turned over the fire and smiled, "This kid." ”

After walking more than two miles, the young man stopped: "The north is definitely not able to go, so I will rush to the east overnight now." After thinking about it, Shao turned around and headed east.

Running wildly all the way, the boy did not dare to delay. After traveling more than ten miles to the east, the boy went out of the mountain and came to an official road. The official road was flat, and the young man's speed increased by two or three points. But it didn't take long for the official road to get narrower, and on both sides of the road, towering mountains.

The young man's pace gradually slowed down, and he said to himself: "Why are you so tired, I knew that I would have to walk such a long way today, so I should have slept yesterday and eaten something today." A few more miles, and then I rested. Thinking about it, the boy continued to run forward. But before he had taken a few steps, the boy could not resist the fatigue of his body, and sat down on the spot.

After eight days of driving and encountering several fierce battles, the young man was indeed too tired. Suddenly, the boy untied the long object wrapped in cloth behind his back. He said to himself: "Don't worry, I, Dou Huaisheng, will definitely send you back to your master." ”

After a moment's respite, he continued on his way, but with his current strength, he could no longer run. This young man is Dou Huaisheng, since he was entrusted by Li Minji, he has been rushing to Lingnan non-stop, and he does not dare to slack off.

When Dou Huaisheng was slowly walking forward, his steps suddenly stagnated. He frowned, then turned sharply and threw a punch. But his punch was empty, and Dou Huaisheng, who is now a soldier, shouted: "Who!"

Suddenly, a childish child's voice sounded in front of Dou Huaisheng: "Brother, why are you still in a hurry at night?" Dou Huaisheng looked down at the voice, only to see the red-clothed boy with a sky-high pouting looking at him with wide eyes. Suddenly, Dou Huaisheng retreated backwards again and again, and when he stopped, he was already covered with cold sweat. In the midst of this barren mountain range, it was really terrifying to meet a child dressed in red.

Dou Huaisheng ignored the little boy and walked forward. But before he could go far, he heard the little boy's cry behind him. Dou Huaisheng couldn't help but worry about the safety of this little boy, but he thought about it, how could this little boy of a few years old appear alone in this barren mountain, there must be a ghost in it. But if not, wouldn't it indirectly harm a life if he left the little boy here alone? After hesitating, Dou Huaisheng still walked forward. But after experiencing this series of dangers on the road, Dou Huaisheng never dared to hold it up. One of his hands was pressed behind his back, and if there was any danger, he would immediately draw his sword.

The boy was sitting on the ground, howling and crying.

Dou Huaisheng stood far away, and he shouted, "Little brother, why did you come to this mountain alone?"

Xiao Tong raised his head to look at Dou Huaisheng, he sobbed and said, "Brother...... I'm looking for... I can't find my grandmother......"

"Grandma, you came out with your grandma?"

Xiao Tong nodded and said, "Grandma took me out and said that she was going to buy me sugar gourds, but after she put me around here, the people disappeared?"

"Where to buy sugar gourds in the middle of the night, probably because the family can't afford to raise a child, so they found an excuse and threw him into the mountains. Dou Huaisheng thought about it and said, "Little brother, do you remember where your home is?" while asking, Dou Huaisheng observed the little boy. I just saw that there was no sign of true qi surging on this little boy's body, and the red clothes on his body were also a little strange. Dou Huaisheng couldn't help but take two steps forward, he only saw that the red clothes on the little boy were not all red, but there were many blank spaces. The red color looks like a large stain of blood!

At this time, the boy spoke, "I only remember that my grandmother brought me from the south. ”

Dou Huaisheng nodded and said, "Who made you this dress:"

Xiao Tong laughed and said, "It's my mother, when my mother was making clothes for me, she still had red water on her neck." When the dress was finished, the mother fell asleep. ”

Dou Huaisheng was shocked when he heard this, and he said in his heart: "What the hell is this?" After thinking about it, Dou Huaisheng said: "Let's go, I'll take you to your grandmother." After speaking, Dou Huaisheng wanted to hold the little boy's hand. But as soon as he stretched out, he shrank back and said, "You follow me, go faster." ”

Xiao Tong nodded, and seeing this, Dou Huaisheng walked south. He began to walk very slowly, and from time to time he looked back to see that the boy was still behind him. Dou Huaisheng sped up and almost ran fast. With his speed, a child of the age of the boy in red will definitely not be able to catch up. But Dou Huaisheng looked back and saw that the little boy was still following him closely. Suddenly, Dou Huai's mind turned sharply.

He smiled at Xiao Tong and said, "Little brother, is this the direction of what you are talking about?"

The boy nodded, and was about to speak, when a bright blade stabbed at him.

"I'm going to see what the hell you are!"

As soon as Dou Huaisheng's words fell, he heard a "poof", and the long sword had already penetrated the little boy's body. Dou Huaisheng had a long sword, but he jumped up the clothes. And under the red clothes, there is no figure of a child.

Immediately, Dou Huaisheng only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his eyes were dark, and he lost consciousness.

A candle flame fluttered and flickered, and the meaning of the Yan Shan was flourishing, and I heard a burst of piano sound, breaking this sigh.

Dou Huaisheng slowly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the sound of the piano also came abruptly.

"This is here?" Dou Huaisheng sighed lightly and sat up suddenly. He was actually lying on the bed at the moment, and he glanced at it, only to see that the room he was in was simply furnished, and the things of the tables and chairs were already decaying. The house was filled with a disgusting smell of decay.

Dou Huaisheng hurriedly stood up, he looked to his side, and then calmed down, the sword was still there. He picked up his sword and went out of the house. As soon as I opened the door, the smell of corruption dissipated a lot. Dou Huaisheng looked left and right, only to see that there was a short corridor in front of him, and the two rows of rooms were symmetrical.

"It's like an inn. ”

Walking to the end of the corridor, a wooden staircase appeared in front of Dou Huaisheng. Dou Huaisheng walked down cautiously, but standing at the top of the stairs, Dou Huaisheng stopped. Because he saw in the lobby downstairs, an old woman with silver hair was holding the soles of her shoes under the lamp. Dong Ping said secretly in his heart: "This is a grandmother." After thinking about it, Dou Huaisheng said downstairs: "Thank you for the rescue." ”

The old grandmother looked sideways when she heard the voice, and when she saw Dou Huaisheng, her eyes showed a little surprise. But immediately, she turned her head and said lightly: "The old body just picked you up from the door, and there is nothing to talk about saving or not saving." ”

Dou Huaisheng frowned and said, "Then dare to ask the seniors, when you meet the juniors again, have you ever seen a boy in red?"

"Dangchang!"

The old woman's face was full of shock, and the needle in her hand fell down with Dou Huaisheng's words.

"You, how did you survive when you met him?" the old woman's tone was full of disbelief.

"He, the old-timer, mean the boy in red?"

The old grandmother nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"Do the old-timers know the origin of the boy in red?"

The old grandmother shook her head and said, "It's just some rumors, but the people here are sure that the boy in red really exists, and I didn't expect you to meet it today." It's a big fate that you survived. ”

"Please also ask the old-timers to speak up. ”

"There's nothing to say, about 30 years ago, there was a lot of water here. I don't know how many people died, it was a good year, but it became a famine year. At that time, the family survived within a radius of 100 miles. At first, the family was able to feed on bark and grass roots, but in the end they couldn't even eat bark grass roots.

At that time, there were four members of the family, a husband and wife, their children, and the child's grandmother. One day, the daughter-in-law of the family went out to dig wild vegetables, but she didn't dig them, but found a white cloth. The daughter-in-law was very happy, so she took the cloth and prepared to make a new dress for the family of four. When she returned home, she cut cloth and began to make clothes. She was sitting in the courtyard with the child, but when the dress was about to be made, the man of her family came out with a kitchen knife and slashed at the daughter-in-law's neck......

The rest of the words were stopped when the old grandmother wanted to speak, but Dou Huaisheng already understood.

There are demons in the world who eat people, and their demon names are people.

Immediately, the old grandmother continued: "Then the child's grandmother was worried that her grandson had also been poisoned, so she sent him out overnight. When she walked into a mountain, the child's grandmother finally couldn't walk, and she was tired and fainted halfway through. When she woke up, the child was dead and eaten by wolves. When the child died, he was wearing the bloody garment. From then on, the child's soul wandered in the mountains, looking for people who were on the way in the middle of the night to dig up his heart and liver to eat. ”

Hearing this, Dou Huaisheng's complexion did not change much. He suddenly smiled and said, "I see, the juniors thank the seniors for saving me." The junior didn't bother much, and said goodbye first. ”

"Where are you going in the middle of the night, let's stay here. ”

"Thank you for the kindness of your predecessors, I really have something important to do, and I leave. With that, Dou Huaisheng flew downstairs and went out at great speed.

After Dou Huaisheng left, the old woman smiled slightly, and then picked up the soles of her shoes again.

As soon as Dou Huaisheng came out of the lobby, he felt that something was wrong. He only looked in front of him, and there was a large courtyard. There was still a little hay in the yard and two rows of stables.

Dou Huaisheng walked out cautiously, out of the courtyard, and Dou Huaisheng looked back. Then he saw a square sign hanging next to the door, and a big word was written on it.

"Station. ”

Dou Huaisheng's eyes narrowed slightly, then he turned around and walked in again.

"Old-timer, this is a post station?"

The old grandmother glanced at Dou Huaisheng, who was standing at the door, and said lightly: "Yes, this is a post station." ”

"Is there another post near here?"

"There is one dozens of miles away, but it is an abandoned official post station. And the old body here is a private post station. But over the years, it has also been about to be abandoned. ”

"Private station?" Dou Huaisheng was silent for a long time before smiling: "Senior, it seems that the junior has to bother you for a night." ”

The old grandmother nodded and said, "Go ahead, there is nothing else here, there are many rooms, but no one has lived in it for a long time, and it smells a little musty." ”

Hearing this, Dou Huaisheng thanked him again and walked upstairs quickly. When he came to the room, Dou Huaisheng first sat on a chair. Then he took a red rag from his sleeve and looked at the candle flame carefully.

This rag was secretly cut off by Dou Huaisheng before he fainted, taking advantage of the child's inattention.

"It doesn't smell of blood, it's cinnabar. No, it's vermilion. Dou Huaisheng laughed, and then he said that the red cloth was hanging on the candle flame.

"There are ghosts, but there are people who make trouble. I'd like to see why they've put so much effort into getting me here. As soon as Dou Huaisheng's words fell, the red cloth burst into flames.
