"What are you afraid of! Have you never seen a snake?"

At the beginning, Zhong Boyou wanted to call everyone to keep the formation in order, but he saw more and more snakes coming out from all directions, and swarmed into the courtyard in front of the hall, and they were all poisonous snakes.Some children have been bitten by snakes and are rolling all over the ground in pain, and some are crying and howling, climbing up to the heights and rushing in with support, and those who are a little calmer are also busy running and avoiding, and no longer form a formation.

"Chongtang! What kind of crooked ways are you doing!" Zhong Boyou cursed while slashing the snake with a knife.

Zhong Chongtang didn't really understand why so many snakes came, but after all, it was an opportunity to escape, so he didn't talk to Zhong Boyou, and took the two children to the door where the snakes came. go.

Chu Wu was held by his side and looked down at the snakes swarming up and down, his face was blue, and he was so frightened that he waved his hands, kicked his legs and bared his teeth to drive away the snakes that seemed to be jumping up.The little baby in Bad Li was even more frightened, crying louder and louder, crying out of breath and choking several times, Chu Wu had to shake him, pat him, and rub his cheeks. Little Belly was afraid that he would choke.

The three of them waded through the group of snakes all the way, and when they reached the gate, the disciples guarding the gate had long since disappeared. Zhong Chongtang cut off the latch with a single knife, and kicked open the two doors.

"Chongtang!" Zhong Boyou just turned around the screen wall and called him loudly.Zhong Chongtang turned his head slightly, Zhong Boyou looked a little unbearable, and said in a low voice, "Out of this door, you will no longer be Zhong's family."

Zhong Chongtang was stunned, then smiled, and nodded sideways as a salute to him, and said goodbye to the door plaque above his head that read "Heirloom of Supreme Virtue".

Immediately, he jumped down the steps and ran out towards the downhill path in front of the door without looking back. After running through a turn, he stopped abruptly, jumped up a steep slope to the side, put away the knife, and grabbed the fifth day of the lunar new year in one hand. Living on a branch of a tree in mid-air, swinging out without touching his feet, he jumped up and down on the top of the tree one after another, and climbed to the top of the mountain in a short time, leaving the courtyard of Zhong's family far away under his feet.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I went up and down like swinging on a swing, but I was not as scared as when Zhong's house couldn't get out. The little baby in my arms didn't know whether it was tired from crying or happy to fly. With a sound, he waved his arms indiscriminately and slapped Chu Wu.

"You stupid boy..." Chu Wu didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and bumped his head against him.

Zhong Chongtang turned over a hill, fell from a tree, turned left and right in the forest for a while, and stopped at the edge of a forest.In front of it is a mountain rock standing on a wall. A clear stream seeps down from the gap of the mountain. Not far from the stream, there is a steep path covered with moss. mark.

"Ahead, turn over, there is a way down the mountain." Zhong Chongtang gasped heavily, speaking intermittently, leaning against a big tree to stop, and finally put Chu Wu down. "On the fifth day of the lunar new year, go to the stream and pull out some seven-leaf flowers, the kind of thin grass with a flower standing in the middle of a circle of leaves."

"I know it!" Chu Wu hurriedly responded, put down the little baby, turned around and ran out of the forest.

Zhong Chongtang supported the big tree and sat down, pulled a skirt of his clothes, and tied them tightly around his legs. After escaping all the way, he was bitten twice by a snake. bad.Pulling off the trousers, the wound did not fester, and a puddle of poisonous blood with a fishy smell flowed out after squeezing.After procrastinating this journey, I just feel dizzy in my head and numb in my hands and feet. If I don't treat the poison, I'm afraid I won't be able to run far.

Chu Wu flew back, holding two handfuls full of herbs, Zhong Chongtang took them and chewed them up and applied them on the wound, Chu Wu also helped him chew together, the little baby sat aside, watching the two of them eating grass and stretching out their hands. want to.On the fifth day of the lunar new year, a leaf was stuffed into him, and he grinded it with two or three small teeth that he didn't use much, but he felt that it was not delicious, so he whimpered with his mouth puffed out.

"What a stupid boy." Chu Wu patted his head and took the leaves out of his mouth.

"He is still young, don't bully him." Zhong Chongtang said with a smile, wrapped up the wound, and got up to stand up.Standing still, he suddenly swayed, pressed one hand on the tree, Chu Wu hurriedly helped him with the other hand, and stood up to support him.

"Mr. Chongtang!" Chuwu called him, crying and holding back.

"It's okay." Zhong Chongtang bowed his head and smiled at him, let go of the tree trunk, stood up straight and took a step forward.Chu Wu followed closely, holding his hands on her shoulders and supporting him to walk.Zhong Chongtang took a breath, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, the medicine hasn't taken effect yet, just wait for a while. Don't help me, go and hug the child first."

"Yeah!" Chu Wu nodded, holding back tears with a straight face, and slowly walked away from him.

First, he picked up a moderately thick branch, stepped on it and broke it, picked out a clean wooden thorn and stuffed it into Zhong Chongtang's hand, using it as a walking stick for him, and then picked up the little baby on the ground.

Zhong Chongtang looked at the crutch in his hand with a smile, and walked forward with it. Chu Wu followed him with the baby in his arms. If you find them, you won't be able to escape quickly, and most likely you won't be able to escape either.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I sniffed as I walked, and finally missed a cry.

"The fifth day," Zhong Chongtang called him, and he walked forward with a stiff neck and refused to answer, fearing that if he answered, he would cry even harder.Zhong Chongtang reached out to catch him, leaned on crutches with one hand and supported his shoulder with the other, walked slowly, and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"It's my fault, me, I also felt wrong when I met Grandpa Grandpa, I shouldn't learn Kung Fu from him. You told me about the rules of Zhong's family, you said that I was not allowed to learn Zhong's Kungfu, you will teach me There are so many other kung fu... But grandpa performed many moves for me, and told me not to be afraid, only God knows me and him know... I didn't listen to you, I was wrong... It was me who caused this..." Chu Wuyue said the more sad he was, and while crying, he still tried his best to hold the little baby and support Zhong Chongtang and walked towards the mountain rock.

"You stupid boy," Zhong Chongtang laughed at him, and said: "It's none of your business, they cheated you in order to deal with me, without you, there are many other crimes, what you hold is a serious crime. "

With tears in his eyes, Chu Wu lowered his head to look at "Big Sin" in his arms. "Big Sin" was lying in front of him, looking up at him, with his mouth half-opened and drooling, but he didn't know how to wipe it off. Instead, he stretched out his hand to grab his face. He wiped the tears rolling down his chin.

"Stupid kids, they are all stupid kids," Chu Wu thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "What's his name? You can't always call him a stupid kid."

"His surname is Feng, and his name is Feng Pingping." Zhong Chongtang said.

"Pingping," Chuwu called the little baby, who babbled happily and slapped him on the face vigorously.On the fifth day of the fifth day, his face hurt, and he immediately changed his face to be kind and fierce, and scolded him: "It stinks!"

The three of them walked up to the steep path among the rocks, Zhong Chongtang told Chu Wu to go up first, and he followed.Chu Wu was worried, so he pulled a vine from a side tree and tied it around their waists to pull him up.Zhong Chongtang looked at his small body, dumbfounded, and urged him to leave quickly.

"The herbal medicine has worked. I can go. Hurry up and climb over the mountain, or I will come after you."

Just as Zhong Chongtang was speaking, there was a clattering sound of four hoofs in the forest, and he hurried towards the bottom of the rock at a leisurely pace.Zhong Chongtang gave Chu Wu a push, drove him behind a boulder at the turn of the path, and turned around to stop himself.Throwing the branch in his hand, he was still a little unsteady, so he simply sat down on the stone steps dug out of the rock wall and waited for someone to come.

Chuwu crouched under the boulder with Pingping in his arms, and peeked out secretly.

What came out of the forest was a green mule, with two large bamboo baskets hanging on both sides of the mule's back, the baskets seemed empty and weightless.The mule driver was thin and thin, wearing coarse clothes, a bamboo hat, and a bamboo tube hanging from his waist.

It doesn't look like someone from the Zhong family.

Zhong Chongtang knew in his heart that this was the one who released the snake, but he didn't know if it was an enemy or a friend.

The man approached and raised his head. Under the bamboo hat was a very beautiful face, oval face, cherry mouth, and a pair of lacquer-like eyes, but his expression was so indifferent that he didn't look like a living person. She felt more like a ghost passing by, only the mule gave her some extravagance.

She led the mule to Zhong Chongtang, stretched out her hand, and said, "Give it to me." "Give it to what?" Zhong Chongtang wondered.

This person didn't give his last name, didn't say why he came, and he didn't exchange pleasantries. He talked without beginning and end, and his tone was undulating. Such a character who can control snakes.

"Child." It was another sentence without beginning or end. It seemed that she was unwilling to say another word.

"What child?" Zhong Chongtang laughed.

She stretched out her finger, and Chu Wu behind the boulder hurriedly hugged Pingping and shrank in. For some reason, this stupid child was frightened again, and he burst into tears.Chu Wu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and he screamed muffled, crying so hard that he couldn't cover his mouth.

Zhong Chongtang smiled wryly when he heard it, and the woman in front of him frowned, and she had a rare expression, and said one more sentence: "This child cries when he sees me, I really hate it."

"Then you still want to snatch him away? Are you out of your mind?" Chu Wu poked his head out and asked.

"Feng Buwen asked me to take care of his youngest son, but I didn't want to. He offered me a medicine, a snake, and a rope in exchange for my promise. If I promised, I agreed. When you invaded Yinjian Villa, I was still gathering herbs in the mountains. , When I arrived at the gate of the Three Corpses, all the gates were burned and killed. The child is not dead, but it is troublesome. Since you have promised, you must do it, so give him to me." The woman was not angry when she heard Chu Wu's words, Still said without a tone.

"Are you from the Three Corpses Sect?" Zhong Chongtang put his hand on the handle of the knife and asked.

"No." The woman said.

"Huh?" Zhong Chongtang was a little surprised, and asked, "Then what is your relationship with Feng Buwen? Why did he entrust his youngest son to you?"

"He is my brother, and I don't want to, but a brother is a brother. I don't know why he is so worried about this little son. He gave birth to that litter of children. The mother of this child gave birth to five. The last one died at the time. Feng Buwen got a new wife last year, and he insisted on asking me to attend the ceremony, but he gave me three big presents instead. I must promise that if something happens to him, he must do his best to take care of this child. "

"Last year? When was last year?"

"The vernal equinox."

"Huh?" Zhong Chongtang was startled and puzzled, and said to himself, "Before the disaster money was robbed, and before the flood, did Feng Buwen know that he was in such a difficult situation?"

"I've told you everything I can say," the woman ignored his overwhelmed thoughts, and said to herself, "I think you are kind enough to take this child out of Yinjian Villa and protect him all the time. You won't kill him this time." You. You give him to me, and I'll give you this."

The woman raised her hand, holding a pill between her fingers, and said, "The antidote."
