On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the blue sky is like a wash, the full moon is like a plate, after dinner, Wang Ping put the moon cakes in the courtyard and admire the moon with his parents. Hengzhou has always had this legend, if you see the moon on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, then you will have good luck this year.

"Ping'er, you're still admiring the moon!" said a confused Su'er. "Uncle Wang!"

"Sister, why don't you appreciate the moon in your family!" Wang Ping glanced at Xiaobai'er and asked.

"I've lost one of my sheep! I haven't found it yet! I'll go home and see if it's back!" said Su'er with a sad face.

"Have you come back?" asked Carpenter Wang as she passed by again.

"No!" replied Su'er.

"Daddy, I'll accompany my sister to find it!" Wang Ping said.

Carpenter Wang looked at his wife and smiled, and nodded.

"Go, don't worry?" Hu pulled a piece of clothing for Wang Ping to put on.

"Mother, can you give your sister a piece of clothing that you don't wear!" Wang Ping asked while buttoning his clothes: "Look at my sister, I only wear one piece of clothing now!"

"Okay, wait a minute!" Hu Shi entered the house and took out another half-used dress for Su'er to put on.

"It fits perfectly, sister, let's go!" Seeing Su'er put on her clothes, Wang Ping took her hand and ran.

"Son, wait a minute!" Carpenter Wang stopped Wang Ping, and took out a wooden stick with a long flat pole from behind the door and handed it over. "Take self-defense!"

"Okay!" Wang Ping took it and strode forward.

"Xu'er! It's just a little older, otherwise I think it's good to be Ping'er's daughter-in-law!" said Carpenter Wang, looking at his son's back.

"Hmph! The female junior holds the gold bricks, what does it matter if she is older! Forget it! The kind of person in the Liu family, where can we afford to provoke! Su'er is the eldest daughter, if Ping'er marries her, she still doesn't know how to make cattle and horses for others! You don't know that the family is good as long as you can take advantage of others. Hu Shi gave her husband a blank look.

"Alas, it's not a problem for our son to follow her like this!" Carpenter Wang couldn't help but sigh as he watched his son take Su'er's hand and run towards the mountain.

Wang Ping and Su'er ran to the place where the sheep were grazing during the day, and the two tried their best to learn the sheep to call, but unfortunately they did not respond after calling for a long time.

"Sister, is the sheep asleep? Why is there no reflection at all?" Wang Ping said disappointedly.

"Ping'er! I don't know what's going on today! In the past, these sheep would go home at the call of the leader, but today this one doesn't!"

Su'er saw that the moon was in the middle of the sky, and it was obvious that it was not too early. I want Wang Ping to go back, but I am really a little scared alone in this barren mountain and wilderness. "Ping'er, are you going to the academy tomorrow?"

"The master and son have gone back to their hometown for the holidays, what about a half-month holiday?" Wang Ping saw Su'er's pale face, and knew that she must be scared in her heart. "Don't be afraid, sister, I will always accompany you to find the sheep. ”

"Ping'er, you're so good to me!" said Su'er's eyes turned red.

"You're my sister, of course I'm going to be nice to you!" Wang Ping took Xu'er's hand and walked forward.

Su'er said: "I have looked for these places in Ping'er just now, no!"

"What should I do, what else have you not been looking for?" Wang Ping asked.

"Only that graveyard hasn't been there yet!" replied Su'er. "Are you afraid?"

"Sister, I'm not afraid!" Master said that men are yang, and ghosts are yin, so don't be afraid of me with you!" Wang Ping replied loudly.

When he heard that he was going to the cemetery to look for sheep, Wang Ping couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. Usually the villagers often talk about those gods and ghosts, and he often hears that he is going to the cemetery in the middle of the night, and he is naturally afraid in his heart. But when he saw Su'er's red eyes, he remembered that if the sheep was really lost, then she would not be able to escape from her father's beating.

Thinking of Father Liu's previous beating, that was the ruthless way of beating whatever he got it, Wang Ping trembled. In his opinion, Uncle Liu is beating his daughter, and he is clearly beating a robber. Thinking of the bruises, purples and green scars on Su'er's body after she was beaten, Wang Ping made up his mind that whether there was a ghost or not, he must help her find the sheep. If the sheep is not found, then the sheep may not be scared to death, but killed.

This year's solar term came a little early, although it was only the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it had already passed the frost, and the clothes were wet with dew unconsciously. Fortunately, it is the time of the full moon, so there is no need to worry about wrestling without seeing the road. There are many rocks and few trees in the cemetery, and a small road winds up, and the side of the road is overgrown with weeds. A gust of wind blew, and a few old trees that did not know the age rustled, and from time to time one or two crows that had fallen asleep were startled, and they let out a terrible cry.

It is deeper and heavier, and the autumn breeze is bleak. As they walked, the two cautiously glanced at the surrounding grass and under the trees, lest the sheep hide in the grass and make no sound, so they turned their heads. Sometimes she learns a few sheep calls from time to time. Fortunately, the two of them have been walking in this cemetery for a long time, and they slowly don't know how to be afraid.

"Sister, listen! The chickens under the mountain are crowing!" Wang Ping said as he looked at Su'er.

"Ping'er, go back! I'll just look for it alone!" Su'er was worried that Wang Ping'er would go back too late, and Wang Carpenter and his wife would be worried.

"It's okay, sister, are you still afraid?" Wang Ping asked.

"I'm not afraid!

"Sister, you're not afraid, then let's find it separately!" Wang Ping asked.

"How do you find separation?" said Su'er.

"Did you see that small temple!" Wang Ping pointed to the small temple behind him that he didn't know how many generations of spring and autumn had gone through.

Su'er nodded.

"You go to the left, I'll go to the right! After we find it, let's go to the temple and wait?" Wang Ping hurriedly made arrangements.

"Okay, aren't you afraid that Ping'er will go alone?" Su'er looked at Wang Ping, who was as high as her shoulders, and asked worriedly.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm not afraid, I'm a man! Dad said that a man is to protect girls!" Wang Ping replied with his chest straightened up.

"You can call me if you have something! This place is not very big, if you want to scream, I can hear it!" Although Wang Ping agreed, Su'er still felt that she had to make it clear to Wang Ping.

"Let's go, sister! When will you be as verbose as my mother! Besides, when the moon goes down, we won't be able to see the road, so what's the trouble then?" Wang Ping replied impatiently.

Seeing that the moon had tilted eastward, Su'er also knew that time was pressing, so she hurriedly hugged Xiaobai and walked to the left.

The stars in the sky have disappeared for some time, and from time to time there are large dark clouds drifting by. The dew wet the entire mountain forest, and before he had gone far, Wang Ping's pants could be wrung out. If this was in normal times, he might have gone home a long time ago, but thinking that the sheep was lost, Su'er had to face the vicious appearance of Liu's father, Wang Ping's scalp was numb again.

Wang Ping thought as he walked, and he didn't know how long he had been walking. Suddenly, he found himself back where he had been separated from him.

"What's going on, what hell am I, the sheep didn't find the other way and lost himself. Although Wang Ping has always been bold, after all, he is still a ten-year-old child, and in the middle of the night, he still can't help but feel furious when he encounters this kind of thing alone.

"I can't be cranky this time. Wang Ping secretly made up his mind.

Although Wang Ping looked at the road seriously and looked for sheep seriously, he was very helpless and returned to the starting point.

A slight cold wind blew, and there was a rustling sound in the grass, Wang Ping's hand shook for no reason, and then he found that his heartbeat could be heard clearly.

"Wow!" a shadow flashed in front of him.

Wang Pingshun struck out with a wooden stick in his hand. The weeds on the side of the road parted in both directions as if to give way, and he saw clearly that it was a big black snake that had just come two feet away from him.

This big snake is as thick as a drinking cup, Wang Ping knows that he is in trouble today, if such a big snake attacks him, he will never be able to fight.

Thinking of being bitten or entangled by a snake, and slowly dying of poison, Wang Ping felt that the cold hairs on his body stood up.
