treacherous world

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed the black shadow and walked forward. At first, they wondered why they were bent like this?hunchback?It was only later that I realized...the man was carrying a basket on his back.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other... At the same time, he remembered the village woman that Bai Yutang mentioned just now, who went up the mountain to chop firewood with a skeleton on her back.

"Chopping firewood in the middle of the night?"

The two of them sneaked into the depths of the mountain forest following the figure, not far away... There was a bright fire coming out.The two of them immediately slowed down—it seemed that they were not acting alone!

I chose a tall tree with a good view and fell down, gently lifted the branches blocking my eyes and looked down.

The scene was quite weird.

In the dark ravine, there was a lot of bonfires lit. In the fire, there seemed to be a red stone statue standing there. It seemed to be a disheveled man with a pair of wings behind him.

There are many people around the bonfire, all of them are carrying baskets on their backs, throwing the contents of the baskets into the fire, and a puff of smoke... This smoke may be very conspicuous during the day, but it will quickly dissipate in the dark night. into the night.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao subconsciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands, because they had already seen those people throwing something into the fire—it was some snakes, rats, rats and ants, and they were all alive.The rats were scorched by the fire, and there was a strange smell of meat and, of course, a burnt smell.

Zhan Zhao shrugged his shoulders at Bai Yutang—is it eating wild game?Although the taste is a bit unique.

Bai Yutang laughed—how is it possible? !

After watching for a while, Zhan Zhao suddenly realized that...he seemed to be able to see farther and more clearly than before, especially at night, even the faces and details of clothing of the people below could be clearly seen.

He shook his head and continued to look, thinking that it would be better to see more clearly, to see the specific appearance of the red statue... Sure enough, he could see more clearly.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao was silent, Bai Yutang looked at him in the blink of an eye, and saw Zhan Zhao's pale golden eyes were very eye-catching in the night... as if there was a cat squatting beside him.

Taking a breath subconsciously, Bai Yutang frowned, and even aroused Zhan Zhao's dissatisfaction, "Shh!" to him, don't make a sound!Beware of being spotted.

"Cat." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and patted him gently.

Zhan Zhao turned to look at him puzzled.

"Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

"Ah?" Zhan Zhao was taken aback by Bai Yutang's question, and then waved his hand, "No, my eyes have been healed for a long time."

"Nothing unusual?"

Zhan Zhao thought that Bai Yutang cared about him, so he smiled and shook his head, "Not only is there nothing wrong, but the more you look at it, the more clear it is!"

But Bai Yutang heard it clearly, "It's getting clearer? Are you sure?"

Zhan Zhao bared his teeth and nodded——Yes!

"Is there any other discomfort?" Bai Yutang still wanted to ask, but Zhan Zhao covered his mouth with his hand, held his face and turned to let him look at it, so he stopped arguing.

Bai Yutang felt Zhan Zhao's arms around his neck, his chin resting on his shoulders, his hand covering his mouth, his cheek was almost touching his face... Bai Yutang probably had never been so close to anyone in his life.

At this moment, the people around the bonfire suddenly heard a strange cry, and then they formed a circle, took out a skeleton from their respective back baskets, and chanted words, as if they were chanting What Buddhist scriptures or mantras, holding the skeleton in his hand, dancing a strange dance with uniform movements.

Even if Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't know the local customs, they could guess that this was probably some kind of mysterious ceremony.

After the group finished dancing the weird dance, Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang almost fell off the tree with his subsequent actions.I saw those men and women followed like demons, stripped off their clothes, and began to have sex on the ground together in the hallway... and no matter the men or women, they were wild in a mess.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang really didn't expect such a move, so they turned their heads quickly in shock, but their voices were not low when they were passionate, making people feel uncomfortable.

The two quickly backed away and landed a little farther away to make sure they couldn't see anything, but they saw a group of people "squirming" there from afar...

"Huh..." Bai Yutang shook his head, sat on the tree and glanced at Zhan Zhao.

I saw that the cat's ears were red, and I was very surprised-it was probably the first time I saw it.

"What are those people doing?" Zhan Zhao was at a loss, "Come here at night...to do this kind of thing?"

"I think they are not normal, Bai Yutang was a little suspicious, "Who would do this with a loved one in front of others?And did you just see that there were three of them together? "

"Ahem." Although Zhan Zhao was curious about what the three of them would do together, he didn't want to delve into it, so he just asked, "Could it be that there is no emotion at all?"

"Why do you have no feelings?"

Bai Yutang's rhetorical question was also reasonable, Zhan Zhao couldn't find a reason to explain it, he just felt confused, the ceremony in the distance was still going on.

Bai Yutang asked, "Keep watching or..."

"Come again tomorrow morning," Zhan Zhao suggested rationally.

Bai Yutang nodded quickly, and the two left the forest immediately, Bai Yutang left a mark, and the two returned to the yamen first.

That night, the two went back to their rooms to rest, but in the middle of the night, they both had a strange dream.This dream was extremely ambiguous and hot, both of them dreamed that they were making out with someone, throbbing with pain in their heart, and when they saw each other's appearance clearly, they woke up from the dream in horror.

Bai Yutang couldn't believe that he dreamed of doing that intimate thing with his arms around Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao scared him even more. How could he be so intimate with Bai Yutang in his dream? !

When I fell asleep again, it was still that kind of dream, and it became more and more daring, so startled that the two of them opened their eyes wide and dared not sleep again.

At midnight, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang got up at the same time, opened the door and ran into the yard.

They looked at each other without saying a word, rushed to Phnom Penh first, poured cold water from the well... After pouring a few times, they were relieved, feeling that the dryness and heat had finally subsided, so they sat by the well to catch their breath.

Looking at each other, this kind of embarrassment is hard to say.

Fortunately, both of them knew that the other party could not know their own dreams, so they pretended to be calm while their faces were hot.

In the end, the cool night breeze blew through the drenched clothes, and the two finally came to their senses and raised their heads to look at each other.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Did you dream of..."

"No!" Zhan Zhao quickly shook his head, thinking that he couldn't, it was impossible for him to know.

"Uh..." Bai Yutang knew that Zhan Zhao must have had a sexual dream, but he shouldn't have dreamed about him as absurdly as he did, but after thinking about it, he was a little concerned, the cat didn't know who it was dreaming about.

After another moment of silence, Bai Yutang spoke first, "There may be something wrong with the smell of the smoke."

"Oh!" Zhan Zhao let him understand this point, "I just said that I had such a weird... dream for no reason."

"Then who did you dream about?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked at him nervously, and asked, "What about you? The one you like?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, and gave a vague "hmm", "You too?"

Zhan Zhao was inexplicably empty in his heart, shook his head and stood up, then suddenly stretched out his hands and patted his cheeks.

After taking a deep breath, he turned his head and glared at Bai Yutang, "Sleep! Wake me up, Sha Wushe!" After speaking, he rushed back to the room and closed the door.

Standing in the room in a daze for a while, Zhan Zhao shook his head and told himself, "Cheer up!" and ran to change clothes and sleep.

Bai Yutang sat slumped by the well, propped his forehead and sighed, got up again and poured cold water on himself, the night was as cold as water, and the water coming down from the well was icy cold.Bai Yutang shook the wet method, drove the annoying cat away from his head, and then went back to his room to change clothes and go to sleep.

……

On Wu Ye's official road, a team of chariots galloped up, including Gongsun and Zhao Pu's men and horses.

Zhe Ying was driving the car, and Zi Ying was dozing off on his shoulders. According to Gongsun's request, the journey took place overnight, so several shadow guards changed horses without stopping, and traveled all day.

There are two huge figures outside the carriage, running unhurriedly, like two little bears, one is especially huge, black and white, majestic.The other end is milky white all over, chubby and very cute.It's rock and scissors.

On the other side was a tall black steed running lazily. It was black and shiny, without a single hair on its body. Following Stone and Scissors was Zhao Pu's war horse, Hei Xiao.

Inside the carriage.

"Ah... Ah Xie." The fourth son rubbed his nose and sneezed No. 19, which came at night ?”

"Hmm... dizzy."

"Why do you suddenly have typhoid fever?" Zhao Pu was a little worried.

"I'm tired from traveling all night, and the weather has suddenly turned cold recently." Gongsun also felt distressed, but thinking that there would be no delay this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't know anything about the Yinshan monster, and something might happen.

"Little four, bear with me a little longer, we will arrive before dawn!"

"Yeah." The fourth son nodded obediently, "It's okay, cough cough."

At this moment, the horse driving the carriage neighed suddenly, and the carriage bumped, Zhao Pu grabbed Gongsun, and Xiao Liang naturally hugged the fourth son.

The carriage stopped suddenly, Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu opened the curtain of the carriage, and asked Ziying and Zheying, "What's wrong?"

"My lord, there seems to be a situation ahead."

Zhao Pu was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and looked ahead, and saw a black figure standing in the middle of the road in the distance.

The moonlight is quite bright tonight, the ground of the official road is paved with loess fine sand, not the black mud in the north... so it can glow with white moonlight.

In the middle of the night, the fog ahead was clear, and in the darkness, a person was walking.The man was wearing strange clothes, which looked like rags from a distance, and his hair was loose and loose.

"Who?" The black shadow and white shadow fell from the carriage to the front, blocking the carriage to watch.

Gongsun also poked his head out of curiosity to have a look, and he couldn't help but asked Zhao Pu, "What's in his hand?!"

Zhao Pu is thinking that this person has a big frame, he seems to be a bit bigger than normal people, he wonders if he will be willing to serve the country if he has kung fu... Just when the old problem was showing up, he asked Gongsun to remind him, and looked down at him His hand...a human head was drenched in blood.

Everyone was shocked.

Zhao Pu's face turned cold, "Take him down!"

As soon as the words fell, the man suddenly let out a strange cry, and then, a pair of strange wings spread out from his back.

This move stunned everyone.

"Wings... Wings?!" Xiao Liang shouted out in shock as he saw Xiaosi in the car with his arms around him.

The shadow guards were also stunned for a moment, and saw him flapping his wings into the air, and rushing directly into the forest... He disappeared, and his movements were extremely fast.

The fourth son looked out in a daze, and asked, "Can you fly, are you a fairy?"

Hei Ying Bai Ying came back to his senses, looked at each other, and wanted to chase, but was stopped by Gongsun, "Don't chase!"

The two turned back.

"It's too late, the mountain road here is difficult to walk and the terrain is unknown, let's hurry to Xinghua County first, and bring people to search the mountain tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

The shadow guards were ordered to continue on their way.

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun in puzzlement, "Is it a human, a ghost, or a goblin?"

But Gongsun motioned him to look at the black owl and the two clawed civets beside him.

I saw Hei Xiao flicking his tail and looking around, Stone and Scissors were even more exaggerated, Stone sat down and licked his hair, and Scissors went over to show courteousness, it seemed that the guy with a human head and wings appeared in front of him as a threat at all.Clawed civet and black owl are both spirits, so it's unlikely that they didn't respond, unless they felt that the things in front of them were not very important.

"This is weird." Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Hei Xiao doesn't make trouble when he sees a mare... Could it be that the mare has become a spirit?"

Gongsun rolled his eyes at him, "The situation is unknown, let's talk about it if Xinghua Mansion finds Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang!"

Zhao Pu put down the car curtain, Zhe Ying raised his hand and whipped the horse, and continued on his way.
