Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and looked at A Lan expressionlessly, while the latter jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and stammered, "En, Engong?"

En, Engong said that he didn't want to talk.

However, regardless of whether to speak or not, Alan must be pulled up first.The pit was really not that deep for Zhan Zhao, he stepped down easily as soon as he lifted his leg, and then walked up to Ah Lan in a few steps.A Lan was looking at Zhan Zhao at a loss, she was both surprised and terrified: "You, why are you here?" She suddenly thought of something, raised her neck and glanced around, and blurted out: "Where is my cat?" ?”

Zhan Zhao: "..." It took a lot of effort for him not to turn his head and walk away, but patiently stretched out his hand to support Alan's arm, and then took her out of the deep pit with a light leap.

"Ah, benefactor, you can fly!" Ah Lan only felt her body lighten up, and the short flight brought a wonderful sense of weightlessness. She couldn't help looking up at Zhan Zhao while she was amazed, her eyes were full of admiration .

Zhan Zhao let go of her, and said indifferently, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"Don't bother you, I still have to wait for my cat!" Alan said immediately, "Grandpa, have you seen my cat?"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, he gritted his teeth and said, "The cat has already left, now I'll take you back."

Alan shrank back in fright from Zhan Zhao's gnashing of teeth, but still insisted: "My cat will not leave me alone, I have to wait for it here."

"..." Zhan Zhao sneered, "Then just wait, you will starve to death then, let's see who will collect your body." After saying that, he turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, hesitant footsteps sounded behind him, and Ah Lan followed.She seemed to be full of grievances, and she dragged her feet, walking very slowly.Zhan Zhao had to slow down patiently, and had to carefully open the way, pushing aside the bushes and thorns blocking the way.

This forest is indeed deep and quiet, occasionally there are strange birds chirping, mixed with insects chirping.The trees are twisted and twisted, and even without those entangled vines, these branches are twisted enough to grow ferociously.The afternoon is the time when the sun is at its heaviest, but there is almost no sunshine in the forest, and the cold and damp water vapor permeates every corner.

Zhan Zhao suddenly stopped, and suddenly turned to look at Alan.Alan didn't expect Zhan Zhao to stop suddenly, and almost fell over without standing still.She stretched out her hand to support the tree trunk beside her to stabilize her footsteps, her face flushed red under Zhan Zhao's gaze.

"En, benefactor..."

"Your feet..."

The voices of the two sounded together, and Ah Lan immediately bit her lip and stopped.Zhan Zhao frowned at her, then asked, "Did your foot hurt?"

He should have noticed earlier that when Alan followed, she didn't just walk slowly. She stepped out with one leg while the other slowly followed.Only people with one injured foot would walk like this, and Zhan Zhao was very dissatisfied with the fact that he had only belatedly discovered this at this moment.

"You should have said it sooner." Zhan Zhao's eyes moved from her swollen ankle to Alan's dirty face, "If you just hold on, it's not you who hurts so much? What's more, if your foot If it's really badly injured, it might be disabled if you hold on."

Ah Lan was startled when she heard the words: "So serious?" She couldn't help feeling timid, and murmured, "I, I don't want to be disabled, benefactor, help me."

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry, he sighed in his heart, squatted down in front of Ah Lan, frowning to look at her ankle.In fact, he should try to see if A Lan's bones are hurt first, but men and women can't kiss each other, and he is not suitable to touch A Lan's bones because of affection and courtesy.

However, it is simply impossible to find a doctor, especially a female doctor, in this place where nothing shit happens.After careful consideration, Zhan Zhao decided to do it himself. He instructed, "You can sit down and talk when it hurts."

Alan sat down in trepidation, staring at Zhan Zhao.The latter had no expression on his face, and stretched out two fingers to lightly press Alan's ankle.

"Ouch!" Alan's face twisted in pain, and then she bit her lips tightly.

With a solemn expression, Zhan Zhao pressed a few more places, then frowned and told A Lan: "The bone is not broken, it's misplaced."

"Then, what should I do then?" Ah Lan couldn't tell whether it was serious or not, and asked naively, "Is it okay if the bones are not broken?"

Zhan Zhao snorted, and said, "If you don't straighten your bones, you'll be a cripple for the rest of your life."

Alan was too scared to speak, she didn't want to be a little cripple, otherwise she couldn't run fast and couldn't find food, so how could she raise a cat?

Zhan Zhao didn't know that Alan was thinking about the cat again after a while, he just supported Alan's calf with one hand, and pressed her ankle with the other hand, intending to straighten the misplaced bone.Although Alan was barefoot all the time, her skin was unexpectedly thin and tender. Her slender ankles were not rough, and there were not many calluses on her feet.She was looking at Zhan Zhao nervously, her thin shoulders shrugged, and she looked a little timid.Zhan Zhao had a rare moment of distraction, he frowned, and suddenly said to Ah Lan, "Look, your cat is there!"

Alan turned her head abruptly: "Where is it?"

Taking advantage of this time, Zhan Zhao moved her hand, and Ah Lan immediately yelled, but when she turned around, her bones were already in place, and she couldn't help hugging her leg and groaned softly: "Ah, my feet." She realized It was Zhan Zhao who deliberately distracted her, but Kong couldn't help curling his lips after being overjoyed.

"Don't run and jump these days," Zhan Zhao asked while finding a piece of cloth to wrap around Alan's ankle, "Try not to exert force on this foot." Seeing Alan's absent-minded appearance, he added , "Otherwise, it's not easy, and carefully become a little lame."

Sure enough, Ah Lan showed a worried expression when he heard the words, and nodded repeatedly.She supported the tree trunk beside her and stood up slowly, her feet were still hurting, but she didn't dare to say it out, so she planned to follow Zhan Zhao to leave the forest first with a limp.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Ah Lan's appearance, and suddenly said: "You wait first." Then he glanced around, took out a dagger and cut off a branch.The dagger in his hand was obviously very sharp, and he quickly removed the burrs on the branch. Zhan Zhao cut the top into the shape of a handrail, smoothed the bark, and then handed it to A Lan.

"Try to see if you can handle it," he said.

Alan took the crutch in surprise: "For me?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Ah Lan walked a few steps on the ground with a cane in a bit of surprise, then raised his head and smiled at Zhan Zhao: "It's best to take advantage of it!"

"Then hurry up and get on the road," Zhan Zhao couldn't help showing a little smile, and immediately restrained himself, raising his chin, "If you delay any longer, it will be dark."

Neither of them had any intention of spending the night in the damn wood, so they hurried on their way.Alan leaned on crutches and bounced behind, Zhan Zhao opened the way ahead, and looked back anxiously from time to time.After walking like this for half an hour, Zhan Zhao stopped again.

"What's the matter?" Ah Lan gradually became more courageous, and found that although Engong looked fierce, he was actually a kind and gentle person, so she became a little presumptuous.

Zhan Zhao frowned, staring at the notch on a tree in front of him, and said, "We walked this road before."

"..." A Lan couldn't help raising her brows, "What does Mr. Benedict mean, are we lost?"

Zhan Zhao didn't want to say too much, and ordered: "Wait here." Then he tiptoed, and swept his body into the air, borrowing strength from the tree trunk a few times, and quickly jumped to the top of the tree.

Ah Lan was startled at first, then she stared blankly with her mouth wide open, and murmured: "Ben Gong, so you really can fly." She couldn't help admiring and envious at the same time, looked up at Zhan Zhao, I wish I could fly up as light as a swallow.

Zhan Zhao didn't pay attention to A Lan's thoughts, he stood on the top of the tree and watched for a while, his heart sank.Although they were going around in circles, they were not close to the small town they came from. If they wanted to go back before dark, they might have difficulties.

What's more, he would turn back into a cat uncontrollably in the middle of the night, which made things worse and added fuel to the fire. It really confirmed the old saying that a leak in the house happens to rain all night.

Zhan Zhao frowned and jumped down. When he landed quietly, he frowned and said to Ah Lan, "We've gone the wrong way. It might be inconvenient to go back to the city right now. There is a small village over there. If you want to , I will take you there, and you should be able to arrive before dark." He said and pointed in the direction.

Of course, Ah Lan had nothing to say, she was full of reverence for her benefactor now, most likely she would nod in agreement with whatever Zhan Zhao said.

Seeing her stupid look, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel helpless.He estimated the distance, and felt that if A Lan jumped all the way, he might jump until dawn tomorrow, so he said, "It's getting late, I'll carry you over." After that, he turned his back in front of A Lan and squatted down .

Alan was taken aback: "Why bother your benefactor so much?"

"Come up." Zhan Zhao urged impatiently.

Alan dawdled for a while, seeing that Zhan Zhaoda was showing a tendency to run out of patience, and then carefully lay on Zhan Zhao's back, not forgetting to hold the crutch in one hand.Zhan Zhao saw that she was lying down, so he got up slowly, and said, "Hold tight." Then he tapped his toes, and rushed out with a "swish".

Zhan Zhao has practiced martial arts since he was a child, not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also proud of his unparalleled lightness kung fu.Otherwise, the emperor would not have given him the title of "Royal Cat" when he performed at Yaowu Tower.Although there is a person on his back now, this person's bones are not two or two heavy, and Zhan Zhao is hardly affected in any way.

And Alan experienced the feeling of "riding against the wind" for a while, and the sound of "whoosh" was all around her ears, and those branches and leaves flew past her, almost like phantoms.

She couldn't help thinking: It feels so good to fly.

It only took more than an hour like this, the two of them got out of the forest, and rushed to the small village that Zhan Zhao had seen from afar before dark.

The night was falling, but there was another strange atmosphere slowly permeating.With Ah Lan on his back, Zhan Zhao couldn't help slowing down gradually, and then put her down.

Although A Lan has never been in the rivers and lakes, he has a rare intuition.Like Zhan Zhao, she smelled something ominous in the night, and her voice was extremely low when she spoke: "This village is so strange."

"Where is the blame?" Although Zhan Zhao has raised his vigilance, he still has the leisure to teach|teach the little girl around him.

A Lan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It's time to eat, but there is no smoke in every household." She paused, and added, "And there is no dog barking, no human voice, and no sound at all. "

"A child can be taught." Zhan Zhao nodded in satisfaction, and ordered, "Wait for me outside, I'll go in and have a look."

Holding the crutches, Ah Lan couldn't help being terrified: "Grandpa, are you going in alone? Will it be dangerous?"

Zhan Zhao waved his hand without saying a word, put his hand on the hilt of his sword and walked slowly along the road into this quiet and scary village.There is also a stone tablet on the side of the road. Although it is dark at night, the words on it can still be recognized - "Beixianing Village".
