"Does it hurt?"
"pain."
"Then why don't you tell me."
"I can't say it. My father said that even if I get hurt, I have to endure it because I am the eldest in the family. If I cry out in pain, my younger brothers and sisters will also be afraid. I can't let them worry and be afraid." Pei Wushang smiled, very naively, but this look made Master Wang very moved.
Mr. Wang paused, put down the wine bowl and said: "Let's do this. Tomorrow morning, you come with me to your home. It just so happens that we have to go to Xinghua Village to do errands. I'll give you a ride by the way. The sun is setting now. On the way, It’s not safe either. Recently, there are ghouls in and around the capital. If you encounter a ghoul at night, no matter how powerful you are, you won’t be able to defeat it.”
"But, my mother and the others are still waiting for me." Pei Wushang was very embarrassed.
Mr. Wang laughed loudly: "It's not too late this night! We have a carriage and we will be on our way at dawn tomorrow. But you will have to go back to the village at least midnight."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang." Pei Wushang said, clasping his fists.
The more Mr. Wang looked at him, the more he liked him. He said: "My name is Wang Youcai, and I am known as Fatty Wang. You can just call me Fat Uncle. I am your Fat Uncle. I also have a daughter who is about the same age as you, but she married Tong a while ago. The head of the Ming Temple is my teacher."
"What's in charge?" Pei Wushang said, rubbing the back of his head.
Old Liu smiled: "This boy's head was broken in hunting. Tongming Temple specializes in subduing demons, and with so many people, there must always be a leader, right? Under Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Spy, there are ten Second Chief, these twelve people are the most capable people in Tongming Temple. If you can worship them as your disciples, basically in this life... you will not have to worry about food and clothing!"
"Well, you said that this girl comes from a daughter's family and likes to wield swords and guns all day long." Fatty Wang shook his head and said. In fact, he was not happy. In Fatty Wang's eyes, he still hoped that his daughter would be a well-educated and talented woman, and She is not a warrior girl who follows those people from Tongming Temple all day long.
At night, Pei Wushang hugged the half-money and slept in the woodshed on the floor. Several officials also spent the night in the tavern's woodshed. After all, the tavern was not an inn and did not have guest rooms.
This woodshed is still very clean. It was originally lived in by Old Liu himself, but now that the official came to live in it, he took the initiative to let it out and went to live in the stable by himself.
Fortunately, it was winter, otherwise the stables would not only smell bad in summer, but would also be full of mosquito bites.
At night, Fatty Wang likes to talk about his daughter. Although he doesn't like his daughter to become a spy, he is still very proud that his daughter can become a disciple of the boss. As a parent, his children have achieved something, no matter how small it is. Everyone will be very proud.
Early the next morning, Pei Wushang arrived at Xinghua Village as an official. However, since last night, Pei Wushang became restless and panicked, as if something had happened. He was panicking.
As soon as he arrived at Xinghua Village, Pei Wushang saw that many people had gathered at the entrance of the village. Pei Wushang jumped off the carriage and said to a woman in the distance, "Aunt Zhao!"
"Is it Ah Shang?" Aunt Zhao covered her mouth and looked at Pei Wushang in surprise.
However, the old village chief was very excited when he saw Pei Wushang. He said, "Stop Ah Shang and don't let him go back!"
"Ah? Grandpa Village Chief, what's going on?" Pei Wushang was shocked.
However, in front, there were several people wearing robes. There was a cloak on the back of the robe, and the word "transparent" was written on the cloak. Pei Wushang had learned some words from the village teacher before, so he naturally knew the meaning. It means that people from Tongming Temple are here.
It's just that there are so many people coming to Tongming Temple, I'm afraid something bad will happen here.
The bad premonition in Pei Wu's heart became stronger and stronger. He suddenly broke away from the pull of several big men and immediately ran towards the mountain.
"Dad, grandma! Wait for me to come back!"
Pei Wushang ran, but for some reason, tears fell down his face. When Pei Wushang arrived at the door of his house, he was overcome by a strong smell of blood. Pei Wushang slowly Very close to this shabby but very warm home.
When he opened the door to the living room, the sight in front of him almost made Pei Wushang dizzy.
There were broken limbs everywhere, blood and minced meat mixed together, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and there were scratches on the walls and the ground, which looked like the claws of wild beasts, but as a hunter, he knew that Not the scratches of wild animals, but the marks of humans.
"Mom! Second sister, third sister! Fourth brother! Dad!" He rushed over, but he didn't know what he stepped on, and suddenly fell. After making a somersault on the ground, he opened his eyes, but It was an incomplete head. It was his fourth brother, a little baby who had just learned to walk!
"Fourth brother!" Pei Wushang whimpered, hugged his head, and started crying wildly. He was swaying as if his soul had been taken away. However, at this moment, his mother's body in the distance suddenly moved. .
Pei Wushang walked over quickly and realized that his mother's body was already cold, but in his arms was his second sister. Surprisingly, there were no scars on the second sister's body. On the contrary, she was pure white and flawless. She was lying on the ground, As if asleep.
Pei Wushang's second sister is called Pei Xiaocai. She was a girl that her father picked up from the wild when he was hunting. However, she was frail and sick since she was a child, and her family thought she would not live long, but she still lived to her current age.
Pei Xiaocai is different from the people in their village. This girl has been naturally beautiful since she was a child, with fair skin and very delicate facial features. If it were not for her poor health, I am afraid that the person who came to order a baby would have crossed the threshold of the Pei family.
"Xiaocai!" Pei Wushang ran over, but at this time, Pei Xiaocai woke up. Her eyes slowly opened, and her beautiful eyes were already red.
Pei Wushang went over and said, "It's me, Xiaocai. I'm your big brother! Do you still recognize me?"
"Quaw!" Pei Xiaocai suddenly put his limbs on the ground, like a wild cat about to launch an attack, and hissed at Pei Wushang.
Pei Wushang had tears streaming down his face. He stretched out his hands: "Don't be afraid, brother is here!"
Suddenly, Pei Xiaocai jumped up, her body twisted unnaturally, and she suddenly opened her mouth and bit Pei Wushang.
Pei Wushang screamed and was pushed to the ground by Pei Xiaocai. Pei Xiaocai was like an angry beast, baring his teeth and claws, staring at him fiercely, but Pei Xiaocai seemed to be very concerned about Pei Wushang's neck, which was trembling slightly. The artery caught her attention.
Just then, a white shadow appeared in front of Pei Wushang, and suddenly a yellow paper talisman was pasted on Pei Xiaocai's forehead. The man in white was a young man. The man was tall, handsome, and had a handsome face. Crowned like jade, he is a living and beautiful young man.
He took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed Pei Xiaocai in the heart.
At this time, Pei Wushang no longer had any relatives. How could he tolerate his sister being assassinated in front of his eyes? He roared and rushed towards the young man almost like a rampage.
Pei Wushang's head was pressed hard against the young man's waist. The young man groaned and glared at Pei Wushang. But at this moment, Pei Wushang hugged his sister very quickly. He ran quickly towards the door.
Pei Wushang grew up in the mountains. He had superhuman physical fitness and infinite strength since he was a child. He was holding a little girl weighing fifty or sixty pounds as if he were holding a piece of cotton, and ran fast through the mountains and forests.
His mind is now blank, or he has only one thought, which is to protect his sister and his only remaining family.
However, the pursuers behind him continued one after another. It was only one person at first, but slowly one turned into two, and the two turned into a group, densely packed, chasing Pei Wushang.
"Stop, kid! That girl has become a ghoul. Once she bites you, you will also become such a thing that is neither human nor ghost! Stop!"
"Is this kid a snow leopard? How can he run so fast!"
None of the people could catch up, but Pei Wushang hugged his sister and found that after affixing the yellow paper talisman, her sister was in a daze and did not attack him again. Pei Wushang simply led the people behind him and came. The trap areas for hunting on the mountain were all traps set by him and his father together. Pei Wushang knew exactly where there were traps and where there were wild beasts.
He ran wildly all the way, and because he was wearing straw sandals, he ran too fast. The sharp stones on the road had worn out his steps. Suddenly, he accidentally rolled down the mountainside, but he always kept his sister in his arms. , but when he fell halfway up the mountain, the stone broke both of his ribs.
The tearing pain made Pei Wushang grin, but he did not admit defeat. He tied his sister with the hemp rope around his waist and tied her to his back. He endured the severe pain and continued run.
"Can't stop! Can't stop! Can't stop! I want to protect my family! Can't stop!" Pei Wushang clenched his teeth while crying.
But at this time, a gust of wind blew over and blew off the talisman on his sister's forehead. His sister's eyes became red again, like two red lanterns. She stared at Pei Wushang's neck, already The grin showed his teeth.
But when she was about to speak, a fragment of memory suddenly appeared in her mind.
On a bridge, a group of older children hit Pei Xiaocai with stones. They laughed and taunted.
"You're sick, you won't live long, your parents brought you home just to control your mother!"
"I'm not a sick child, I'm not!" Pei Xiaocai cried until she cried. At Xiaocai's age, she was already a beautiful woman.
However, her physical weakness made her the object of ridicule among the children in the village.
"Ah! Sister, get out of the way!" Pei Ming held a wooden stick and rushed towards the older children with bruises all over his body.
The eldest child was much older than Pei Wushang, and he immediately grabbed Pei Wushang, punched and kicked him, while Pei Xiaocai knelt on the ground and begged: "Don't fight, don't fight!"
When everyone had had enough fun, they dispersed. However, Pei Wushang raised his head with a smile, even though his nose was bruised and his face was swollen: "Sister, are you okay?"
"Ooooooo, brother, you are such a big idiot!" Pei Xiaocai cried.
…
The fragmented memory of this period suddenly made the blood redness in her eyes lessen a little. She originally opened her mouth to bite Pei Wushang, but at this time she slowly closed her mouth.
But after all, Pei Wushang is still a growing boy. How can he be a match for those professional Tongming Temple masters
Although the traps caused many experts to suffer losses, some fell into the trap ditch filled with smelly water, and some were hung up by ropes hidden in the grass, but more people caught up with Pei Wushang.
A dozen or so young boys have already blocked Pei Wushang's entire path. The leader is still the handsome young man. The young man said: "You are harboring a ghoul. According to the laws of South Vietnam, you should be imprisoned!"
"You... none of you are allowed to hurt my sister!" Pei Wushang said, his eyes full of determination.
This look surprised the young man. A sharp-eyed young spy said: "Senior Brother, look... the talisman on the female ghoul's head has fallen off, but she still doesn't bite after the talisman fell off!"
"My sister is not a ghoul, she is not!" Pei Wushang was still very insistent.
"Every evil spirit in the world is good, and what evil spirits are best at is disguise!" The young man came over and said, "Get out of the way, otherwise you will be affected and may die!"
"Even if I die, I will not abandon my sister!" Pei Wushang said. At this time, he was full of fighting spirit.
The young man sneered and walked over. Suddenly, Pei Wushang was caught off guard and kicked him. The kick hit Pei Wushang's abdomen. The broken ribs were suddenly in his abdominal cavity. The displacement, this kind of pain, made him almost faint.
"Ah... ah!" Pei Wushang got up from the ground, roared, and rushed towards the young man. However, the young man easily grabbed Pei Wushang's hair and hit Pei Wushang with a knee. Pei Wushang's nosebleeds burst out like a fountain from his injured nose.
