Chapter 152: The Shadows

"Sell sugar gourds!" a young man shouted on the side of the street carrying a straw pole.

"A bunch of sugar gourds. ”

"Okay, two pennies. ”

Yan Lao was carrying a wooden box, boxy and quite big, after taking the sugar gourd, he reached out behind his back and didn't know which position of the mechanism he pressed, there was a soft sound, and a small opening was revealed on the left side of the wooden box, and the sugar gourd was thrown into it by Yan Lao.

The young man looked surprised at this and couldn't help asking, "Old man, do you still have this skill?"

Yan Lao smiled without saying a word, waved his hand and left.

The young man was bored, pursed his lips, and continued to shout.

"Elder Yan still has a bowl of noodles as usual today?"

When passing by a noodle stall, the shopkeeper of the stall saw Yan Lao coming over with a wooden box on his back, and thought that the old man had come to eat as usual, so he greeted him familiarly.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lao just shook his head, tightened the hemp rope on his shoulders, and continued to walk forward.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper wiped the sweat on his face with the sackcloth on his shoulder, stood on tiptoe and shouted, "Slow down!"

Hearing the voice, a customer eating noodles at the noodle stall raised his head and said curiously:

"Elder Yan has been wandering around the city all day today, carrying a wooden box on his back, and he doesn't know what to do?"

The shopkeeper seemed to think of something, and said:

"Maybe the old man...... I want to go around, after all, the shop is not open now. ”

"Heyβ€”" The guest sighed and continued to snort.

......

Sweat slipped down his nose on Yan Lao's face, but he was extremely happy in his heart, and his legs were like a second spring, wandering around with the crowded flow of people.

Click...... Click

There seemed to be a slight knock in the wooden box behind it.

After glancing left and right, the old man whispered, "It's okay...... Daddy is not tired. ”

At this time, I happened to walk outside a teahouse, and I could faintly hear the applause that erupted from inside.

"To say that the most outstanding martial arts today are the two of them. ”

"Who?"

One is surnamed Li Mingxian, and the other is surnamed Yun Mingxi. ”

Hearing the familiar name, Yan Lao stopped and looked towards the teahouse, only to see a young storyteller surrounded by people, startled by a slap, his chin raised, and he said vividly: As soon as the two of them started fighting, the entire ring collapsed.

The spittle stars flew around, and even felt that it was not enjoyable and exaggerated enough, and added oil and vinegar to carry out rich artistic portrayals.

Bastard, it's not bad. ’

The old man stopped at the door of the teahouse for a while, a smile on his face quietly appeared in the corner of his mouth, and he walked away.

When he returned to the shop, Yan Lao already had a vermilion wine gourd in his hand, and he could faintly hear the sound of wine shaking in the gourd while walking.

The old man had been walking all day, and the wine worm in his stomach had already been noisy, so he deliberately ran to sell wine.

Putting down the wooden box in his hand, the old man gently pulled somewhere at the top of the wooden box, and the top lid of the wooden box was opened, and a little person immediately jumped out and hugged Yan Lao's neck tightly.

"Daddy......"

"Daddy's hereβ€”"

Yan Kuan's turquoise eyes were filled with tears, he was not ignorant, on the contrary, he was very sensible and reasonable, and he felt sorry for his father who carried him on his back all day.

"Don't cry, don't cry. ”

This wooden box was made by Yan Lao for a day, children, it will always be boring to stay in one place all the time, and it just so happens that he knows the outside world, so he naturally has curiosity and wants to go out to see.

Yan Lao stretched out his hand and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of Yan Kuan's eyes, and said with relief: "It's okay, your father is very strong." ”

After all, he relented, and when he saw Yan Kuan lying on the windowsill and looking at the sky outside every day, the old man's heart softened...... Old and old, Yan Lao can't wait to pour all his love into Yan Kuan.

The well-designed wooden box has two small black holes, and Yan Kuan can see the outside world by hiding inside, which is also the reason why Yan Lao has been running outside all day today.

Yan Kuan looked at the sweat on his father's cheeks, as well as his face flushed from exertion, and said with a crying voice:

Daddy...... Next time Kuan'er won't go out again. ”

"Silly Kid ......"

The old man hugged Yan Kuan hard, getting tighter and tighter, and he couldn't wait to rub Xiao Kuan'er into his body, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Since Li Xian left that day, the old man knew that most of Kuan'er's affairs had been exposed, and as for why no one from the government had come to him for a long time, the old man didn't know this.

All he can do at the moment is to fulfill all of Kuan'er's wishes!

Yan Lao said: "Daddy cooks for you." ”

Xiao Yan Kuan'er looked at his father and nodded vigorously.

Yan Lao touched Yan Kuan's slippery head, and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at him.

Today, Xiao Yan Kuan'er is wearing brand new clothes, and she also carries a jade bracelet on her right hand. This jade bracelet is a family heirloom of the Yan family, and it was originally intended to be worn by the original 'Yan Kuan' on the hands of his daughter-in-law after he became a family.

Outcome......

Yan Lao walked into the stove room, and a thin layer of smoke rose from the chimney on the roof.

Xiao Yan Kuan originally wanted to go in to help, but he was naturally a little afraid of fire, and he stubbornly wanted to go in to help a few times before, but the old man saw his son's strange appearance at a glance, and since then he has not let Xiao Yan Kuan enter the stove no matter what.

Soon...... The table was full of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of tofu soup.

Elder Yan winked at Xiao Yan Kuan and said with a smile:

"Eat!"

"Eat!"

Xiao Yan Kuan'er's turquoise eyes bent into crescent moons, and she replied in a milky voice.

The moon rabbit quietly jumped onto the branches, and the candlelight in the hut dispelled the darkness.

Xiao Yan Kuan was rubbing Yan Lao's waist, and the strength of those little hands was just right.

"My family is great. ”

The old man couldn't help but close his eyes comfortably, in the end, he was old, and he had walked all day with a wooden box on his back, if it weren't for the fragrance of plants and trees that Xiao Yan Kuan'er brought before, he would have been tired a long time ago.

Hearing this, Xiao Yankuan's face smiled, and the strength on his little hand became more and more attentive.

Soon, the old man fell asleep under the pressure of his little hands and began to snore.

Seeing that his father was asleep, Xiao Yan Kuan'er's strength became more and more gentle, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on the nose of his little face.

I don't know how long it took,

Xiao Yan Kuan lay in Yan Lao's arms, listening to the snoring and falling asleep.

The candle flame on the table flickered twice, and the light disappeared, leaving only two snorings, one large and one small, in the darkness.

At this time, a paper figure the size of a child's palm on the cabinet floated down the crack in the wall, and carefully crawled towards the bed, the whole process took a stick of incense, and then found a gap and immediately got into Xiao Yankuan's arms.

Breathing a sigh of relief very humanely, the paper man's arm quietly changed, turning into a sharp point, carefully inserted into Xiao Yankuan's arm, and the green to pure blood flowed down the paper tube into the paper man's body, and now the white paper man turned into turquoise.

In his sleep, Xiao Yan Kuan seemed to feel a trace of pain, his delicate brows furrowed, and the whole person drilled into Yan Lao's arms.

The little paper man turned into a little fat man at this time, and the position of his stomach contained Xiao Yankuan's blood, shook it twice, and carefully swayed to the head of the bed again.

When I lifted the futon, I saw that the wooden plank under the futon had somehow broken a hole the size of a paper man.

The little paper man jumped directly and landed on the ground, the paper figure floated up and down twice like a balloon, and then swayed to the corner of the wall under the bed, where there was a mouse hole with the thickness of a small arm, and walked straight in.

I don't know how long it took, there was finally a faint light ahead, and as soon as the little paper figure walked out of the hole, he was taken into his hand by one hand and looked at it carefully.

The owner of the hand was a young man with a white face, dressed in black.

Heyβ€”it's not easy. The young man couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that it is bold to do such a thing under the noses of many 'birds' in Si Tianjian, but fortunately, his qi and methods are different from ordinary people, otherwise it is estimated that he can only return with a feather.

The reputation of the Ministry of Public Opinion and Ghosts in the rivers and lakes and the people is not good, and 'Bird' is its wild name, after all, with such a large intelligence organization pressed on its head, anyone will feel uncomfortable!

Moreover, not all sects can hide in the deep mountains and forests with few desires, and most of them have to join the WTO, so it is indispensable to deal with ghosts.

The young man took out a special porcelain bottle from his arms, and the paper man glanced at the young man, with a faint contempt in his eyes, and then jumped into the mouth of the bottle.

The rich scent of herbs and trees was blocked by a bottle stopper as soon as it rose.

The young man whispered to himself, "It's done! It's not much, but it's enough!"

Glancing up at the moonlight, he saw a large dark cloud floating over.

Soon the moonlit alley became pitch black, and the young man disappeared at some point.

......

An inn box.

The Seven Emotions Taoist was full of bloodshots, sitting on a chair at the window and looking at the moon rabbit in the sky outside, his expression was a little restless.

"Seven feelings, you go on like this...... It's easy to get into trouble. ”

Hearing this, the Seven Emotions Daoist took a deep breath and spit it out.

Anyone who is watched in the gatehouse can't get out of a single step, patience will be exhausted to the limit, and as long as the door is opened slightly, several killing intent will descend on the neck.

If the Seven Emotions Dao people still don't understand what happened, then they can simply kill themselves on the spot.

"Maybe there's still a little bit of life. ”

The black spots in the depths of the old man's pupils swirled around, and it was extremely terrifying to look at.

Since the matter has happened to this point, and they are not dead, it means that it is still useful for the government to keep them, and they do not know what use it is.

Maybe it's fishing for someone behind them?

The Seven Emotions Daoist said with a gloomy face: "You mean to get out through those three people?"

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of the eyes of one of the three people, violent, vicious, and slightly cold in his heart, but soon more ferocious anger surged into his heart.

The old man nodded.

The Seven Emotions Daoist looked out the window, the streets outside were crowded, but he could feel several sharp killing intent staring at his neck, a bright threat!

If you dare to make a move, you will die!

Even when we die, we will pull you on your backs. ’

A strong killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Seven Emotions Dao people, how could they be caught when they had done all the bad things, they just endured it all the time to find a suitable time.

......

......

Outside the county town, on a nameless hillside.

A large figure sat cross-legged on the slope, and a child sat above it.

You said those three people...... Is it planted. ”

A fierce, gloomy voice sounded behind him.

A man with an ugly face, who had looked no more than thirty years old, came out of the dark jungle, still holding a fierce tiger in his hand, looking dying.

The child looked at the full moon in the sky and said to himself, "Ahh ”

"They said they would get the dryads back......

The man raised the tiger in his hand, the huge tiger body was empty in his hand, and the tiger looked at him with bitter hatred.

The ugly cheeks grinned fiercely, as if looking at the finest jade.

So what. ”

"Don't you think it's funny?"

The child turned his face and looked ordinary, but the only thing that impressed people was the eyes, which were cunning and vicious.

"Winter is coming soon,

"We have two villages at the bottom of the mountain, and in the winter, there are people from one village to another, and even more in disaster years.

"But in the beginning of spring, there are people again!

"You say people, why are they so strange and interesting, how they are like weeds, how can they never die!"

Before the man could speak, the giant man under the child spoke first, his voice dull and honest.

I really want to eat those two people. ”

The giant man's eyes kept staring at the outline of the ten rings one mile outside the county town in the distance, and the sticky saliva kept running down the corners of his mouth as he spoke, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.

The child patted the giant man on the head and said:

"There is a chance...... There is a chance. ”

Hearing the child's words, the giant man obediently closed his mouth, and the bloodshot quietly retreated.

The ugly man pointed out meaningfully: "Even if we can't get the tree spirit, we can't let the Great Jin Mansion find us." ”

The child did not speak, but returned to the full moon in the sky, a grin on his lips.

"The moon is beautiful!"

There seemed to be a tearing sound behind him,

The ugly man looked at the tiger in his hand, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more violent, and the shadow under his feet faintly began to pull and twist, and finally turned into a big mouth.

The creepy chewing sound kept ringing behind the child's back.

At this point,

A wolf howl sounded in the mountains and forests!
