At night, on the top of the mountain, the whole place is covered with nothing, the astonishingly large moon hangs above her head, illuminating the white snow on the mountain, and the magic circle between heaven and earth like a cage traps her in it.
Yan Hui lay on the ground, feeling the biting cold, as if it could penetrate into the bottom of his heart.
She watched the snowflakes float on her face piece by piece, and then after touching her skin, it quickly melted into water droplets and slid down her face one by one.
"why… "
She heard herself ask, but she didn't know what she was asking. When she turned her head, she saw a vague shadow. Behind the shadow was a huge moon. She didn't see the man's appearance, but she clearly saw the man raise the long sword.
Yanhui's pupils tightened.
Hit the sword!
Yan Hui felt his atrium tighten for a while, the sharp pain made Yan Hui tremble all over, and then...
"Cuckoo!"
She woke up.
It was pitch black in front of me, and the air still smelled of wood that was always around in rural houses. Her heart was still beating wildly, and her hair was almost wet with sweat.
She covered her heart in a daze, and there seemed to be a sharp needle prick that made her feel pain.
This nightmare was so real, as real as if she had experienced such a terrifying moment just yesterday. The snow-capped mountains, the huge bright moon, and the vague figure, Yan Hui frowned, this figure, now that she thinks back, why does she feel a little familiar, but she thinks about it again and again, but she still can't recognize herself. The person and the figure hooked up.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yanhui suddenly returned to her senses. Is she joking? She is so serious for a dream.
After pouting, Yan turned around and wanted to go back to sleep.
But she forgot that the chickens outside started to crow... and they couldn't stop.
Yan Hui endured and endured, and pinched and pinched her fists in the quilt. It was already the third day... She didn't even get a good night's sleep. Before, she thought that she would not be able to live in the farmyard for long, but as it is now With her stance, she should have some days to recover from her internal respiration. If this chicken doesn't get rid of...
When it is a big problem!
In the early morning, the sunlight in the courtyard was not yet warm, and all the chickens that had been clucking in Mrs. Xiao's courtyard suddenly stopped calling.
When the old lady Xiao came out of her room, she smelled something strange, similar to scalding hair: "A Fu, A Fu?" she called. So Ah Fu also came out of the house, and when he saw the wild geese returning in the yard, Ah Fu paused in his footsteps, and the expression on his face was obviously a bit ugly.
"What's this smell?" Mrs. Xiao asked.
"I've slaughtered those chickens." Before Ah Fu could answer, Yan Hui took the chickens out of the pot and plucked them neatly, and replied casually, "I'm plucking the skins, today I'm plucking them. Stew a big pot of chicken soup, I learned this craft from Fatty Zhang, no problem."
"You... you slaughtered the chicken?" The old lady Xiao asked in a trembling voice, "All slaughtered?"
Yanhui looked back at the empty chicken coop: "Yes, it's all slaughtered. I originally wanted to kill the rooster, but I didn't expect the two old hens to croak when the rooster crowed, so I slaughtered them all for cheap. Chicken soup can be eaten for a long time." Yan Hui said, licking his mouth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her voice fell, the old lady Xiao called out: "Ouch! Ouch!"
Yan Hui turned her head in surprise. She thought it was the old lady who fell, but she didn't expect that she sat down on the ground by herself, and Ah Fu who was next to her quickly supported her.
"Ouch, my God, it's all slaughtered...
Yanhui was stunned: "What's the matter? This is..." Yanhui didn't understand at all, it's just three chickens... Why can you be so sad...
"Old hens are used to lay eggs, what can I do, what can I do!" Tears flowed from old lady Xiao's cloudy eyes, and she cried so sadly.
Yan Hui looked at the chicken in his hand: "Uh... Actually, there are only two... Not many eggs can be laid. Anyway, the chicken is old and should be slaughtered..."
The old lady Xiao cried heartbroken. Yanhui scratched his head: "How about these chickens, let's eat meat for you and your grandson, I... drink soup?"
"To shut up!"
A'Fu scolded Yan Hui for a while, and then frowned, "What are you yelling at?"
Ah Fu took a few steps forward, snatched the chicken from Yanhui's hand, glared at her coldly, and said coldly in her ear: "If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense."
His attitude made Yan Hui almost laugh angrily: "You know it? Isn't it just killing a few chickens! What a big deal."
Ah Fu stopped looking at her, turned around and took the dead chicken and handed it to Mrs. Xiao: "Mom, don't be sad."
Yan Hui was next to her, feeling like a villain who bullied the old and the weak and ran rampant in the countryside, but in fact, she just slaughtered three chickens with too cheap mouths. She opened her mouth: "It's just a few chickens! You wait!"
She rolled up her sleeves and went out of the yard.
Knowing that she was gone, Mrs. Xiao quickly pushed Ah Fu: "Go and stop, go and stop. Bring it back."
Ah Fu looked at Mrs. Xiao silently for a while: "Ma, I'll help you into the house first."
Here Yanhui walks all the way up the mountain. Although Tongluo Mountain is barren, there are still so many wild animals. She took some pheasants back, and then filled the chicken coop.
On Yan Road, I met a few villagers, and everyone's eyes subconsciously stayed on her, and then saw that she was walking up the mountain, so she didn't care about her and let her go. Because all the villagers firmly believed that no one could get out of this overgrown mountain behind.
Yan went back up the mountain, and after searching in the woods for a while, she caught two pheasants in total. She held both chickens in her hands. When she was about to look for the third one, she suddenly felt the grass and trees moving beside her, and she accepted it all year round. Yan Hui, who was dealing with the monster training, immediately became alert.
She turned her body sideways, took a step back, took a defensive stance, stared straight at the place, the grass and trees swished for a while, and a man in coarse clothes walked out.
The man didn't even look at Yanhui, he continued to walk through the grass and trees to the village, his legs were limping, and it was a little difficult to walk.
Yan Hui stared at his back for a long time, his eyes fell on his feet, and then he frowned.
Tongluoshan is a small village, and most of the people in it are familiar with it. Almost everyone in the village knew that Xiao Jiafu had married a daughter-in-law overnight, and everyone looked at her with a "responsible" attitude. , and this man...
Yan Hui was thinking about it when the sound of footsteps came from the other end, Yan Hui looked up, and Ah Fu walked over slowly.
But seeing Yanhui holding the pheasant in his hand, Ah Fu raised his eyebrows: "You move too fast."
"You can find me very quickly." Yanhui handed the pheasant in his hand to Ah Fu: "Take it, I will catch another three or four, and directly fill the broken chicken coop."
Ah Fu didn't refuse, took the pheasant in Yan Hui's hands and followed her. Yanhui walked casually while looking at the distant scenery. When he came to a place where the grass was messy and the trees were broken, Yanhui stopped: "We fought pretty hard here that day."
Ah Fu turned his head to look around, Yan Hui didn't even look at him, he just swept his eyes and ran in one direction: "Oh my peach wood sword!"
Yanhui picked up the Taomu sword, gestured twice, then pointed at Ah Fu and said, "I'm stubborn and bad-tempered, and I don't like being disciplined by others. In the past, except for my master, no one who disciplined me would end well. Just remember, this time, forget it this time, wait until you turn around, you dare to train me again, be careful that this girl will stab you seven inches with this sword like that day."
Ah Fu snorted coldly: "A mere peach wood sword, there is no need to be afraid of injuries outside the skin."
Yan looked back for a moment, then she retracted her sword and wiped the blade with her fingers: "I remember, you screamed in pain at that time."
Ah Fu ignored Yan Hui, looked aside, and gestured to Yan Hui with his chin: "pheasant."
Yan Hui didn't say anything else, and rushed up to catch the pheasant.
They didn't finish work until they caught six pheasants, but seeing that Yanhui was really going to catch the chickens, Mrs. Xiao was no longer angry. After eating the chickens for dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
That night, Yan Hui had been lying on the bed without closing his eyes, listening to the even breathing from Ah Fu from the corner of the wall, Yan Hui slowly sorted out his thoughts.
In the past two days, she always felt that there was an uncoordinated and strange aura on Ah Fu's body, and now she finally knew where the strangeness was.
If it is said that the snake spirit is attached to A Fu's body, a monster who is new to the scene, why is he so familiar with what A Fu does in normal times? He supports the raft to go to the cliff cave, goes down to the ground and wields a hoe to work, to deal with those who come to make trouble. The child, angry because she killed the chicken to make old lady Xiao sad, softly comforted old lady Xiao when she was sad. This is not at all what a youkai who has attached a human body to take refuge would do.
He was almost familiar with these things, as if he had lived such a life as Ah Fu for more than ten years.
Yanhui would never forget that when she fought with the snake demon that day, it was his tail that was pierced by him, and her face was drawn blood by the tail that was split in two by her. And he didn't refute the sentence she cheated on Ah Fu today, "stabbed seven inches". It can be seen that he has been like today, he has been following her words, and he is trying to deceive her.
Yanhui has already confirmed that A Fu is not a snake spirit, but what she is curious about now is that since A Fu is not a snake spirit, what kind of monster lives in A Fu's body? Why did he lie to her, what was in the cave he took her to, what was his purpose...
The more I thought about Yanhui, the more I felt that this young man was a mystery.
In addition to this young man, there is also the real snake demon. Where did it go, and where is the real treasure.
It seems that if she wants to get the 88 taels bounty, she has to spend more time investigating and investigating. There are really many things in this small mountain village...
Yan returned with a long sigh, and had to sigh again, thinking that it would be so difficult to eat good food for the rest of his life.
