Chapter 23: Who lives in my mountains?
The moon was dark and the wind was high, the gray cloud blocked the crescent moon, and the light that could vaguely discern the mountain road completely disappeared.
Wang Jiulu wrapped his thick clothes tightly, glanced at the sky, and turned his head to greet him.
"Hurry up! Go back to sleep after finishing this job, and I will freeze to death!"
"Sixth brother, there is no light here, and the brothers have never been here before. put it? " "
What is the point of fire? was found several escape? Do you understand how to do bad things? follow me! Hurry! " "
six brother walk slowly! Heidengxiahuo Han can not see! " "
six brother? Brother Six?
Where is the person? Brother Six!" The forest was empty, a group of six or seven people gathered on the chaotic wooden road, Wang Jiulu didn't hear a word, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
A few people finally felt a sense of nervousness. Pan Quan rubbed his almost frozen hands and threw the sack on the ground: "Why is the sixth brother silent? Brothers, light up the torches!"
"Meow!" Silence In the night of the night, the shrill cat-call that suddenly appeared stuck on their nervous apex.
" Light
it up !" Pan Quan roared ,
"Where's the torch?" "Here! Flint! I want flint!"
"Brother Pan, look over there, is there a shadow? Is it the sixth brother?"
Pan Quan's heart was beating violently , the palms of the hands could not help pinching a sweat, and he shouted nervously at the gradually approaching shadow: "Sixth brother? Is it the sixth brother? Talk!"
Someone lit a torch.
Mu Qingchen was woken up by a cat meowing in the middle of the night. The meow was so terrifying that it was enough to make people have nightmares for half a month.
She decided to get up and reason with the light, and she just ran into Jiang Huiying when she went out.
"Jiang Hui?"
Jiang Huiying stopped looking at her for a few seconds, then grabbed a cloak with his inner strength: "Put it on"
Mu Qingchen tied his cloak and smelled the faint fragrance of grass and trees on it. Does a big man still have the habit of using incense? Are all men in Kyoto so particular?
As soon as the two of them went out, Mu Wanshen came out with a lantern, and the three walked to the fence together.
Xiao Hei put away his frightened and silly look, turned a hundred and eighty degrees to avoid the faintness that exudes the might of a king, and rushed over quickly, habitually doing a jumping and flying posture.
Jiang Huiying pinched the hilt of the sword indifferently with his fingers, and the little black electric light and flint braked: "Wang!" Horror!
"What horror?" Mu Qingchen asked with his head lowered.
"Wang Wang!" Faint!
Leaping into the jungle lightly and lightly, his green eyes exuded a strange cold glow in the dark night.
"Follow up," Mu Qingchen said.
"Ah ah ah! Ah ah!" The miserable scream suddenly shattered the silence, and the frightened birds started to croak and scream.
Several people speeded up.
In the faint light of the torches halfway up the mountain, a group of people stared at the motionless upright figure in the shadows, and the figure that was very different from Wang Jiuli turned slowly.
Pan Quan didn't know why he was afraid. He wanted to go down the mountain, but Wang Jiuli was gone, and so many brothers were watching, so he couldn't be cowardly.
He clenched the torch and sent it to the front. The shadow's head turned out to be the dark gold, which was a pair of eyes that did not belong to human beings!
The man in the dark finally circled from behind the tree to the front of the tree, and the approaching firelight gave a clear view. The cheetah man leaned upright against the tree trunk, showing a kind smile.
"Ahhhh!"
"Ah!! Ah!!"
Pan Quan's body trembled violently, his arms lost strength, the torch fell, igniting the slightly moist withered leaves, a group of people fled in the crap, and the cheetah looked back at the faintness of the heights on all fours, The head with the missing ear shrank, struggling to chase the intruder.
Standing upright on the branch, staring at the direction where the cheetah was leaving, he let out a long howl like a child. In a trance, the dark red eyes in the forest gradually disappeared.
Mu Wanshen had not recovered from being stared at by the cheetah, and she was panting with lingering fears. For a moment, she thought everyone was going to die here.
She calmed down for a while, and her heartbeat calmed down before she regained her language: "
Chen'er, Jiang'er, let's go home, it's not safe at night!" Jiang Huiying looked into the distance, unable to see clearly, Mu Qingchen squatted on the ground, as if I didn't see the cheetah, like those who fled in panic, took the branches and cleaned the leaves around the torches, revealing a large open space.
He said, "It's too unsafe! How can they bring torches up the mountain in the middle of the night? What if there is a fire? Although it's cold now, the sky is dry. Fortunately, we saw it, otherwise the fire would burn, just like There is a fire in the deep forest! If this mountain is connected to a mountain, if it all burns up, it will definitely suffer together with the small town, and then..."
Suddenly a cold light flickered, the torch bounced a few inches out of thin air, and the sword shadow slashed deeply on the ground. A deep pit was formed, and the soil flew up and fell with the torches. The light of the fire disappeared, and the mountains returned to darkness.
Mu Qingchen: "..." He raised his head and looked at Jiang Huiying, who neatly put his sword into the sheath, and saw that his eyes were straight and his body was straight, as if he had done something trivial just now.
I always think he did it on purpose...
Mu Wanshen: "..." No, I just saw the cheetah myself?
The next morning, except for Jiang Huiying, both mother and daughter were lazy in bed. It was so exciting last night that Mu Wan was deeply insomnia.
When Jiang Huiying knocked on Mu Qingchen's door, he heard Mu Qingchen say in a weak and pitiful way: "You don't know, yesterday scared me to death, I couldn't sleep all night! That's a cheetah, a cheetah! We used to be so far away. Close! Do you understand the life and death line?"
Jiang Huiying forced the door open and found that the poor protagonist was holding the quilt with a happy face, and there were no dark circles around his eyes.
It was already noon when Mu Wanshen woke up, blaming herself for having hurriedly prepared lunch after oversleeping, and glanced at the fence when she went out the door.
Mu Qingchen, who was forced to stalk all morning, was very sensitive to catch this casual glance, and immediately hugged Mu Wanshen who was passing by: "Mother, I'll help you cook!"
Yu Guang peeked at Jiang Huiying and saw him too. While staring at myself, I hurriedly avoided my line of sight, thinking that I was caught lying, why would I punish people so severely? This is definitely not my brother!
The cabbage fried tofu, braised fish and pheasant soup for lunch, Xiao Hei lost interest in meat during the meal, stared indifferently at the meat bones thrown on the ground, and turned his head in disdain.
Lightly holding the fish and chewing on it, it was a great pleasure, and the sharp and focused eyes were frightening.
Mu Qingchen picked up a piece of chicken, looked at his left and right legs, bewildered: "Where is Hui Hui?"
"..." Where is Hui Hui!
All three put down their chopsticks and searched with their eyes, but they didn't see Hui Hui.
"Dan, do you see Hui Hui?"
"Meow!" No!
"Xiao Hei, where did Hui Hui go?"
"Wang Wang Wang!" I don't know! Maybe lost!
"..." With so many people and cats and dogs, they don't even know when Hui Hui was lost? !
Mu Qingchen put down his job and said eagerly, "Go to the Eighth Mountain! The Wudao Plum Mouse may have come here last night!" It happened to be when they went down the mountain together, and when they came back, they didn't notice whether Huihui was at home or not!
Jiang Huiying was extremely talented, and he didn't have any trouble with him. He quickly came to the place where he caught the five-spotted plum blossom last time.
In the distance, gray grievances resounded, mixed with small animals cooing softly, and human voices hidden inside.
"You little guys, you are really fat, and the cats over there dare to catch them."
With a childish childish voice, the ending sound rose slightly, which should be a cheerful temperament.
Jiang Huiying and Mu Qingchen hid among the trees, where the seven- or eight-year-old children could be seen in the distance.
Xiaotong carried the medicine basket on his back and untied the cage made of vines: "Why are you thinking about weaving a cage? Did you see adults weaving medicine baskets last time?"
"Sir? Xiaotong? Are there other people living in Shishan?
" Nodding back, deep mountains and old forests, although the ten mountains are owned by people, it is not ruled out that some people live here in seclusion.
Mu Qingchen said with interest: "When the money is made in March, let's take a good look at the ten mountains!" The
boy released Huihui and said seriously to Wudao Plum Blossoms: "The lord said that this is their home, other people's land. On the site, we are all tenants, and they didn’t receive any benefits, so how can we avenge our revenge?” Wudao
plum-blossom squirrels returned to the cave in dismay, the squirrels all dispersed, and the boy sorted out the basket of Chinese herbal medicines and walked away muttering. Yuan Yuan: "Who are they? How come the ten mountains belong to them? The lord didn't tell me, really!"
"I'm very curious about this lord," Mu Qingchen said, descending from the tree with Jiang Huiying, Hui Hui was wronged Baba ran over, his fat body jumped heavily, and Mu Qingchen, who was picking up the cat, bent his waist and almost flashed.
"Grey, do you want to lose weight?"
"Meow?" Are there any small fish to lose weight?
"No"
"Meow!" Rejected!
Jiang Huiying suddenly said next to him: "Old man"
"Huh?"
"The one who lives over there is a doctor."
Mu Qingchen connected his words, the old man with white hair lived in the sixth mountain: "Have you seen it? "
"No"
"..." Then how do you know it's an old man! What if it is a gentle and beautiful young handsome guy!
Jiang Huiying hugged Mu Qingchen, Mu Qingchen hugged the cat, jumped between the trees to follow the child, and listened to Huihui's explanation.
After everyone went down the mountain last night, Wudao Plum squirrels kidnapped it with squirrels. They kept changing squirrels and forcibly carried it all night. Due to the interference of weight, they arrived at their destination at noon. The tired squirrels just trapped the cat in the cage and were released.
Huihui has been wronged all the way, saying that he was lost for one night and one morning before being discovered by you. He has already woken up several times in the despair of being carried!
Mu Qingchen found an excuse to fight haha, thinking that you are still wronged? The grievances are the squirrels, right? At your weight...it's hard work.
