fierce cat
Chapter 44 Crescent Moon City
Qi'an's house is empty and tidy, without any trace of people living in it, except for a few cat hairs on the ground.
Mo Jinze pretended to be nonchalant and searched the house back and forth. He didn't miss the cellar compartment where the potatoes were stored, but there was no sign of Qi'an.
Seeing the cat fur on the ground, Mo Jinze calmed down a little, and went to the yard to look for Qi An, but unfortunately there was still no response for a long time.
Even though his younger sisters were by his side, Mo Jinze suddenly felt that he was the only one left in this world. His parents, younger sisters, and his clansmen had all left. Now, is Qi An really gone? Don't want him?
Mo Jinze was caught by that emptiness and heart-wrenching feeling, he was out of breath. He half bent down, put his hand on his chest, and breathed the air with difficulty, as if if he didn't try so hard to feel the breathing, he wouldn't feel that he was still alive. up.
Mo Xiwen: "Brother, what's the matter with you? — Sister?"
Mo Xiwen grabbed a small piece of chicken from the kitchen, and while eating, asked the two brothers who didn't know what to do and didn't go to eat to eat, but saw his brother standing in front of Brother An's house, looking very uncomfortable, She was so frightened that she lost her flesh, and hurriedly called her sister, Mo Shiqi.
Mo Shiqi, Qi Pang, and Qi Rou ran out of the kitchen when they heard the voice was wrong.
At this moment, a ball of yellow fluff suddenly fell from mid-air. The perception of cats is stronger than that of humans, so when Qi Pang and Qi Rou sensed movement and looked up, Qi Pang was almost scared out of his wits They all flew away, making a very sharp scream.
The attention of the younger sisters was naturally attracted by Qi Pang.
When I heard movement again, it was the sound of a human body colliding and a muffled hum.
When everyone turned their heads again, they saw Mo Jinze, who was standing at the door of the opposite room just now, lying on the ground in front of his own room, and he was the one who uttered the muffled groan.
And Mo An, who had been missing all morning, was also lying in front of Mo Jinze's room, just pressing on Mo Jinze.
The two of them were stacked together, and Mo Jinze hugged Qian'an tightly, for fear that he would disappear from sight again.
The night before yesterday was praying for the night, and because of Mo Jinze's condition, he didn't rest during the day, and he tossed around again at night. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by a call, and he closed his eyes to smell the sound of sleepwalking. Walking forward with the fragrance of rice, but didn't want to guess empty with one foot, walked on the roof in a daze, and then fell off the roof, was not very awake at first, but woke up instantly, and with the sound of the fat man It was hard not to wake up from the sharp scream that hurt people's ears.
The younger sisters like cats, and Fatty and Qi Rou will not leave them too far along the way, so the first thing Qi An does after waking up is not to stabilize his body and find a foothold, but to directly transform back into a human form, afraid that he will not be scared. I've seen nerdy sisters.
If it wasn't for Mo Jinze rushing over to act as a personal pad, Qi'an would probably become the first cat in the world to fall off the roof and die or be maimed.
"What are you doing?!" Mo Jinze's brows and eyes were not touched by the joy of knowing that the person hadn't left. On the contrary, Qian'an's inexplicable feat of almost falling to his death almost scared him half to death.
Qi'an raised his head, and his apprentice was right in front of him, his brows were tightly frowned, and the strength in his hands was so strong that he almost strangled him... It seemed that the two of them were so close for the first time...
Qi'an suddenly remembered last night, he wanted to eavesdrop, to see how deeply the plum blossom forest had poisoned Jin Ze, but instead of thinking about it, he saw a live / spring / palace.
I watched it all night without closing my eyes...
The heart in the right chest was beating violently "bang bang bang -" and there was more than one person.
Qi'an looked at Mo Jinze, Mo Jinze's face was full of worry and - fear.
"You..." Qian'an suddenly had a very strong desire/desire, he looked at Mo Jinze, eager to say something to the person in front of him, but his words got stuck.
It seems that thousands of words have come to my mouth at once, and suddenly I don’t know which one to say?
There are stars in his eyes, and a face in the starlight—it is Qi An.
The beginning of the words did not end, Qi An just looked into those eyes, and forgot what he was going to do for a moment...
The expected scene was too tragic, Qi Fatty clawed his claws into the soil, and lowered his head not daring to look at it.Accompanied by that muffled snort, he felt in a daze that something was wrong with the sound, and raised his head unsteadily, only to realize that he was just worrying blindly.
The roof is not very high, and you won't die if you fall down.
The moment they found that Qi'an had fallen from the roof, almost everyone rushed forward subconsciously, and Qi Pang was no exception. He was the first to find out, and the first to run, but he was almost caught by Mo Jinze and Qi'an. These two "persons" were crushed to death, and the two people landed less than half an inch away from Qi Fatty's side.
Qi Pang was eager to save his brother, but he almost had an accident. Now he came to his senses and became angry!
"Meow—ow—"
This sharp and ear-piercing sound made my skin crawl.
Qi An woke up suddenly, blinked his eyes cutely a few times, and now he is completely awake, glanced here, glanced there, looked down at the apprentice who was still frowning, and looked at the angry fat man sideways, it was very clear I realized that as a cat, I not only peeked at my apprentice taking a bath in the middle of the night, but also stayed on the roof of my apprentice, and fell from the roof in the morning smelling the smell of the food cooked by my apprentice...
For the first time, Qi'an felt a little ashamed, what the hell did he do all day long?
Oh, by the way, what did he want to say to his apprentice just now?Sitting at the dinner table, looking at the culprit who made him fall from the roof, Qi An suddenly remembered this question.
Then I couldn't remember anything, and I was absent-minded when I ate for the first time, and I didn't know the taste of the food.
The atmosphere of the breakfast was a bit silent. The younger sisters saw Qi Pang angry for the first time, and they were very angry, so they just let it go, and no one spoke at the dinner table.
Mo Jinze kept paying attention to praying for peace, tried to speak a few times, opened his mouth, and finally ended in silence.
After eating a sumptuous and overcooked breakfast with their own minds, everyone divided into two groups to buy the luggage needed for the next road, and then continued on the road.
After setting off in the afternoon, the younger sisters knew that the atmosphere was not right, so they stopped sleeping in the carriage. A group of people squeezed into the small space in front of the carriage, even if they were sweating from the heat, they would not get in the carriage.
Night after day, Mo Jinze and Qi An never found a chance to calm down and have a private conversation with each other.
After leaving Nanyang, the further he walked, the more silent Mo Jinze became.
All the way the carriage passed were unfamiliar places, the scenery, towns, villages, and even mountains and forests, all of which were not as they were in memory.
Mo Jinze remembered that when he left, Nanyang was the nearest town to the tribe.
Now I leave Nanyang and walk forward, like a traveler returning to his hometown, trying to find familiar things and a familiar sense of existence, but there is none.Things were different when he left, but now 200 years have passed, the world has changed, and things are not what they used to be.
This time he came back or he passed here, with Qi An who had been missed, and the younger sisters who did not seize life and came back again, as well as Qi Fat, who had suffered so much here and has not healed the trauma, and a—yes Here, the one who had a subversive understanding of the people in memory——self.
Mo Jinze couldn't tell what he felt, but the closer he got, the more depressed he became.
It's almost tacit understanding here.
The carriage kept going forward day and night, and if it wasn't for the recurrence of Qi Fat's stomach disease, otherwise it wouldn't make any stops.
The village at the foot of the mountain had developed into a city, bigger than Nanyang.
After discussing with Qi An, Mo Jinze decided to settle down in the city first, and then continue on his way when Qi Fatty got better.
The new city is called Crescent Moon, also known as Xuncheng, and the city emblem is a crescent moon with water ripples.The mountain where the tribe where Mo Jinze’s family lived in the past has a new name. It is called Wanyue Mountain, also known as Xunshan. It is said that a pavilion was built on the mountainside more than 180 years ago, and the name is Shanwei Pavilion.
It is said that it was built for a great leader, but who is this leader?What merits?I don't know anything.
Crescent Moon City, Xunshan Mountain, Shanwei Pavilion, people who know it just by looking at these names will know it.
After learning this information, Mo Jinze and his party had already entered the city and lived in an inn in the city.There is a teahouse on the second floor of the inn. There will be a gentleman in the teahouse to give lectures every day. Although the content is all kinds of strange things, he always talks about the history of the city and the origin of its name. I don’t know who The leader of meritorious deeds closed his eyes and boasted indiscriminately for a while, fearing that one of the words of admiration and admiration would be missed, he kept talking endlessly.
Occasionally, someone will ask what achievements this leader has made. Not only the audience, but also the storyteller can’t tell why. He can only talk about the construction of the city and the pavilion. But the storyteller just said that the city, the pavilion and the name of the mountain are all for It is clearly inconsistent to commemorate the naming of leaders who made talents.
Later, Mr. Storyteller’s rhetoric changed, saying that the leader is actually the patron saint of this mountain, and that for hundreds of years, there have never been bandits, etc. Xiao Xiao, a rat, confirmed from the side that there really is a mountain god on the mountain.
Over time, people believed it.
There is a lot of admiration for the leader who does not know his achievements and experience.
After entering the city, Qi'an felt uncomfortable for a while. In this city, every three or five steps away, he could see a spirit monster who was cultivating adults. He didn't know what it was.
The place where so many spirits gather should be the tribe, but the tribe is unwilling to deal with people.
Tribes are like dragons, with natural advantages.Outside the tribe, anyone who can turn into a monster and then turn into a human is one in a million, just like the blood of a real dragon living among the people, which is rare and hard to come by.
There are too many in this city.
After listening to the introduction and directions from the waiter, Mo Jinze dug out a veterinarian from the labyrinth-like dwellings in the east city. After seeing it, the veterinarian knew that it was an old disease.
I asked Qi Fatty about his past medical history, thought he could attack aggressively, and wrote a prescription, telling Qi'an and Mo Jinze that the dosage must be in place, and if they don't cooperate, they must take it.
The more the veterinarian talked, the more Qian'an frowned, and he clenched his fist tightly. If Mo Jinze hadn't been pulling him by the side, the fist might have been directed at the veterinarian.
After the veterinarian finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The two little girls sitting across the table stared at him with big eyes. The two big men next to him didn't know what was hiding under the table, and they felt very dangerous.
Realizing that something was wrong, the veterinarian quickly picked up the medicine box and cupped his fists at Mo Jinze and Qi'an, "Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll settle the payment with the store first."
The veterinarian was introduced by the clerk from the shop, so he should be in contact with him, and finally the clerk would ask Mo Jinze to collect the consultation fee.
Mo Jinze has a little more reason than Qian'an, and after listening to the analysis of the doctor's consultation, he can tell where the doctor's level is.
But Mo Jinze also knew why Qi Fatty was so resistant to drugs.
After the doctor left, Mo Jinze comforted the agitated sisters and sent them back to the room.He made some porridge for Qi Pang, and asked Xiao Er to prepare some food for Qi An.
After he feeds Qi Pang and eats, and sits back at the table, Qi An's food hasn't moved yet.
Qi'an asked him: "Do you think this veterinarian is stupid? Or is he bad? How can the fat man's stomach still withstand tossing?"
Mo Jinze didn't answer his question directly, but asked, "What do you think?"
"What do I think?" Qi'an raised his fist, "I just want to beat that old man now."
After pausing for a while, Qi'an said again: "Go to the clinic to get the medicine first, ask the people in the clinic, and bring it back for examination."
"Okay, you eat your meal first."
Grabbing the medicine, asking, checking, boiling the medicine, and continuing to check, there were no problems. Qi'an looked at Mo Jinze again, but Mo Jinze didn't speak, but just returned the same attention and respect.
Qi'an's hand holding the medicine bowl loosened, grasped, loosened, and grasped repeatedly, and finally entered the room with the medicine bowl, frowned and hugged Qi Fatty. Although Qi Fatty had been struggling, his mouth It is indeed open.
Qi'an poured half a bowl of medicine into it, and the half bowl of medicine seemed to go through a cutscene in Qi Pang's stomach, and he vomited it all out within a short while.
Mo Jinze was waiting outside, when he suddenly heard a crackling noise, worried that something was wrong with Qi Fatty, so he rushed in.
It was the medicine bowl that Qi'an was holding dropped, and the remaining half bowl of medicine was scattered all over the floor, and the pieces of the bowl were scattered.Qi'an held Qi Pang in his arms, and kept patting his belly to coax Qi Pang.
Hearing the voice raised his head, he said word by word: "I'm going to chop that old man up!"
Qi Pang drank half a bowl of medicine, and vomited up the medicine and lunch together. He had no strength in his whole body, felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and was so weak that he couldn't speak.
Qi'an's eyes were red and watery.He has carefully protected his brother who hurts in the palm of his hand after so many years. If something happens to the half bowl of medicine, he will never let the doctor go.
Mo Jinze asked the waiter in the store to fetch water, and then went to the back kitchen to ask the kitchen to cook meat porridge for Qi Pang.Even though he was also anxious in his heart, Qian'an's eyes were red with anxiety. He was on the verge of his sanity collapsing. He couldn't be confused. Once he also panicked and became confused...
He suddenly had a premonition, and Mo Jinze didn't know where this premonition came from, but it just appeared in his mind suddenly, reminding him: maybe some people are waiting in the dark to see their chaos, to see them Show all kinds of flaws, and then come out to laugh at them, and even other dangers, whether it is psychological or personal safety, so he must not mess up!
After receiving the water brought by the waiter from outside the house, Mo Jinze glanced at the room next to his sisters, and could only vaguely hear the voices of the sisters teasing Qirou, and felt a little more at ease, at least the three of them here I don't know the situation.He only needs to stabilize Qi'an first, and then figure out the current situation of the fat man. There is more time.
Enter the house and close the door, and clean and tidy up Qi Fatty.
During this period, Qi'an stared at Mo Jinze's hand moving towards Qi Fatty with red eyes.
After tidying up, Qi Pang recovered a little bit, the meat porridge had just been prepared, and a waiter brought it up.After thanking Mo Jinze, he closed the door again, holding a porridge bowl and asking for peace: "Is it you or me?"
"I come."
Qi'an took the porridge bowl, the porridge bowl was too hot, he shrank his hand from the heat, but he still took the porridge bowl steadily, if it wasn't for that instinctive shrinking, Qi'an would have been calm and breezy without even noticing it The hot bowl is hot.
Mo Jinze's towel was delivered in time to insulate Qi'an's hands.
At the same time, I had a rough judgment on Qi An's current state of mind, and thought for a while after Qi Pang finished his meal, how could he appease Qi An?
Qi’an blew a small spoonful of it warm and then fed it to Qipang. Qipeng did not eat as fast as Qi’an’s blowing. finish eating.
Mo Jinze looked at it for a while, then picked up the broom to clean up the mess on the ground.
It was the first time for them to enjoy such tranquility since they left Nanyang City. Although the time was short and the mountains were on their bodies, it was as if they rested for a while while carrying a heavy load, and their mood naturally calmed down.
Qi Pang only ate half a bowl and couldn't eat anymore, and fell asleep in a daze.
Qi'an didn't impulsively go directly to the doctor to settle the score, but patted Qi Pang's hair and waited for Mo Jinze to clean up the ground.After tidying up, he said softly, "Do you still have the medicine from before?"
"Yes, there are still some lotus seeds, do you think?"
"Restore the previous dosage of medicine from tomorrow. It's better to hide it in the rice and don't let it find out. The medicine prescribed by the dead old man has stopped. How do you think I should ask him to settle the debt?" Qi'an's voice and expression were very calm , so calm that there were almost no ups and downs. If it weren't for his red eyes, outsiders would really not be able to see that he was actually very manic now, so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Many ways of answering flashed through Mo Jinze's mind, thinking about which way could make Qi An calm down.
Concerned about chaos, Qi An's current state is very unstable.
He tentatively said: "The old doctor said that the medication was very strong this time. Could it be that the dose is too strong and the fat man's body is not used to it? The medicine has been checked before, isn't it sure that there is no problem?"
"Yes, the medicines have been carefully checked," Qi An said, "But what if the medicines prescribed by the old man are compatible?"
"I went to a total of five medical clinics when I was picking up the medicine, and I checked with the medical clinics, and there is no medicine that can counteract it."
Suddenly the room fell silent again.After a long time, Qi'an took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm the one who got impatient."
Qian'an's mood calmed down, and Mo Jinze breathed a sigh of relief.Squat down in front of Qi'an, carefully put Qi Pang on the bed and sleep well, "When the fat man wakes up, we can ask him how he feels? If... If there is an accident, I will go directly to the old doctor The family tied him up to see you."
To be honest, Mo Jinze really wanted to kidnap the old doctor in the past, but he repeatedly told himself to be calm, calm down, and appease Qi An, so he didn't really implement this idea.
Mo Jinze looked at Qi'an's serious words, and deliberately squatted down to lower his posture, so as not to cause Qi'an's instinctive psychological guard.
Seeing that Mo Jinze didn't speak, Qi'an suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched the flesh on Mo Jinze's cheeks and pulled them to both sides, pulling his handsome face into a strange shape, then squinted his eyes and smiled cheerfully.
Mo Jinze also laughed silently, his eyes narrowed when he was pulled, and narrowed into a narrow slit when he smiled again, similar to Qi'an who dozed off when the cat was in the heart state.
Sunlight sneaked in through the windows and filled the room.Qi'an felt that there was a soft layer on Mo Jinze's face, and wanted to grab it to have a look, but he couldn't catch anything, probably the sun.
That night, Qi Fatty woke up again. Although his body was still weak, his complexion looked much better.
Mo Jinze looked at Qi'an, and Qi'an also happened to look at him.
Mo Jinze whispered, "How about...try again?"
Qi'an bowed his head and thought for a while, teased Qi Pang again, ordered the kitchen to cook meat porridge for Qi Pang, and said to Mo Jinze, "Then try again."
The next morning, Mo Jinze took the medicine stove and cooked the medicine himself.During the whole process of boiling the medicine, the medicine never left his sight.
Recently, because of Qi Pang's physical condition, those feelings of being close to home and timid have been forgotten.While boiling the medicine, Mo Jinze suddenly thought of it again. He didn't think about it deliberately, and he didn't encounter anything that would touch the memory level. He just remembered it suddenly for no reason.
The medicine stove was steaming hot, and the boiled water droplets "gurgled—" scrambling to bubble.
Mo Jinze just stared at the medicine stove to recall the past.
200 years ago, all the details he still remembers are not let go.
-
In the summer when Cicada yelled "I know I know—" Wei Xun came to him with a book and asked him.
While chatting, younger sister Mo Shiqi led two big cats, one black and one white, passing by the gate of the courtyard.Mo Jinze saw Wei Xun staring at the back of his sister and the cats walking past for a long time. His sister was too young, and they were not yet adults at that time, so Mo Jinze didn't think about that together, and joked: " Are you envious that we have Mao Xiaonao and Mao Xiaohua? Hahaha, Brother Wei can also raise one by himself."
"That's okay, Brother Ze..." Wei Xun also smiled and said, "Do you have one at home?"
Mo Jinze: "What does it look like?"
Wei Xun: "The flowers and colors are very mixed, I can't tell clearly. I have a chance to ask Brother Mo to take a look at another day."
Mo Jinze: "Okay."
But he had never seen this cat with a variety of colors.
——And he remembered that he once heard from his sisters that Wei Xun often went out hunting alone, and each trip was as short as half a day or as long as three to five days, and almost [-]% of the prey was abundant.
Even in the winter when the snakes hibernate, he can easily see snakes in Wei Xun's trophies, and they show signs of drying, not fresh.
So did he go hunting after all?If he didn't go hunting, did he go to the wolf eye tribe?
There are many other things. If we had been a little more vigilant back then, I think there would not be so many tragedies.Not to mention the vicissitudes of the past 200 years.
If he really thinks about it carefully, the past events in his memory are not enough to be overthrown.Why did Wei Xun become like that when he grew up together? How long has he been planning such an almost earth-shattering project?
...After the medicine was ready, Mo Jinze shook his head, put away those distracting thoughts in his mind, and concentrated on getting the medicine for Qi Fatty, no more, no less, exactly one bowl.
He deliberately dried it outside the house in the shade for a while, and waited for the temperature of the medicine to drop before taking it in for Qi'an.
Qi An is playing with Qi Pang in the room, making Qi Pang happy.
As soon as the smell of medicine wafted into the room, Qi An's efforts all morning were in vain.
Qi Pang jumped onto the top of the bed in a "swoosh" even though his body was weak, and because the brackets for the mosquito net on the top of the bed were not strong enough, he fell off together with the clothes hanger.
Qi'an didn't rush it, just stood in front of the bed with a medicine bowl, watching Qi Fat's performance.
Qi Pang fell off the top of the bed and fell onto the bed. Although it didn't hurt or itch, it didn't hurt, but the whole cat was a little confused by the fall.
After being dazed for a while, "Meow~" called out to Qi'an twice, and Mo Jinze understood the medicine bowl in Qi'an's hand.Qi'an sat down and stroked Qi Pang soothingly, then hugged him again.
Unexpectedly, Qi Pang turned over up and down in Qi'an's arms, turned into a posture with his belly facing the sky and his mouth facing up, and then opened his mouth with his eyes closed. -"
When he understood what Qi Pang was going to do, Qi An almost didn't hug it.
Mo Jinze asked suspiciously and nervously: "What's wrong? Is the fat man feeling uncomfortable?"
"No," Qi'an shook his head, feeling a little funny and helpless, and a little relieved, he said, "Fatty asked me to hold it down and feed it medicine like yesterday."
Mo Jinze: "..."
Thanks to Qi Fat's efforts to "cooperate", the medicine was administered smoothly. Although he vomited after drinking the medicine, he drank the whole bowl of medicine today.
After throwing up and eating half a bowl of porridge, he went to the sisters' room to play with Qi Rou for a while before going to sleep.
The state is obviously much better than yesterday, and the star hanging by a group of people finally let go a little bit.
Because the younger sisters were worried about Qi Pang, they didn't sleep well at night. Seeing that Qi Pang's spirit improved a lot, they were coaxed by Mo Jinze to catch up on sleep.
Only Mo Jinze and Qi An were left.
Mo Jinze took out two maps, one was the national general map that he had been using before, with only avenues and Guandu marked, and the other was old kraft paper with three routes marked on it, and the other was the national general map. The route from the avenue to southern Xinjiang that appeared was the route taken by Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen's parents' caravan. Sometimes it overlapped with the avenue, and sometimes they walked separately, but most of them were detours to avoid bandits.And the last one is - Mo Jinze's memory of his father's route to Southern Xinjiang to ask for medicine for his sister, and with the existing map, he slightly modified the route that had disappeared, and turned it into the fastest route to Southern Xinjiang.
Mo Jinze: "I don't know why, when I come back here again, I always feel that there are problems with the humanities, spirits, and even the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, and I feel that there will be danger."
"You also have this feeling?" Qi'an nodded, "It seems that the time is right, I also have this feeling. This Yuecheng, although the development is much better than when I left, but, I always feel that here It’s full of evil, you should feel it too, there are a lot of ghosts living in this place, and there are relatively few human beings, no one knows how it grew to such a large size, it’s several grades higher than Nanyang.”
"Pray for peace," Mo Jinze called out.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Qi'an turned around.
"When you left, did you come back after the war?"
Qi'an: "Yes, I came back more than 100 years ago and wanted to challenge Wei Xun..."
Mo Jinze: "What happened next?"
"Later?" Qi'an put down the medicine bowl, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch Mo Jinze's face again, "Later, as you can see, I failed, and he was still alive and well, sitting in a high position."
Qi An said again: "However, when I left, there were not so many storytellers in this place. There were too many teahouses and restaurants in Crescent Moon City."
Mo Jinze rubbed his painfully pinched face, and said, "Everywhere is weird here. I think the fat man's stomach disease relapsed too suddenly, without any symptoms. Is it because of coming back here?"
Qi'an nodded, "It's very possible, let him raise him for another day, and let's continue on our way."
"Well," Mo Jinze pointed to the map and discussed with Qi'an, "This is a comparison map of the three routes. Look, although the shortcut is much faster, it is also very dangerous. When my father went to southern Xinjiang, he went alone. There are many places on this short road that horse-drawn carriages cannot pass."
On the third day, Qi Pang took the medicine and didn't vomit anymore, and he was able to jump around alive and well, so they continued on their way, following the newly discussed route last night.
This route will pass through the Shanwei Pavilion halfway up the mountain, and pass from the Shanwei Pavilion. After walking up, there will be a very slow downhill road. Mo Jinze specially went to inquire about it, so that he can get out of the carriage and move forward.
The carriage drove all the way to the middle of the mountain, and as he got closer to the pavilion on the mountain, Mo Jinze's face became more and more grim, and Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen also had grim faces.
Among them, Mo Jinze's condition was the most serious, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.
Qi'an couldn't stand it anymore, picked him up and threw him into the carriage, and drove up the mountain by himself. The road to the halfway up the mountain was also very gentle, the horse basically had no burden, and the carriage was just like driving on a flat road.
After walking for a while, Qi'an turned around and asked, "How is it? Are you sick people all right?"
Qi Pang and Qi Rou will call "Meow Meow~" together, telling him that he is fine, and Qi An will continue on his way.
He couldn't see what was going on inside the carriage from outside, he only knew that Mo Jinze and his sisters were pale and pale, and he would reply "It's okay" when he asked.
Until reaching the Shanwei Pavilion, Qi An was still a little worried, parked the carriage under the tree, opened the curtain and poked his head in, his face turned pale with fright.
The three people in the car were all staggering, the two younger sisters had passed out, and their blood looked like...dead. Fortunately, there was no problem in sniffing.
Mo Jinze's situation is also not optimistic. Although he is awake, he can't speak, and his hands are still covering the mouths of Qi Fat and Qi Rou respectively, not to tell him, this idiot!
Mo Jinze felt a palpitation, and the fear that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly began to spread...
The real fear is like listening to scary supernatural stories when I was young and then encountering real supernatural events at night. The fear that suddenly gushes up from my heart makes my whole body sweat.
Unlike the fear of being held around the neck with a knife, he has a feeling that he will not be him soon, but he is still him or him in this skin, holding a knife, a sword, and a dagger with his own hands. Killed his clansman, parents, sisters, and Qi An with a single blow...
As for maintaining his sanity, he has only one pair of pupils to use until he kills everyone, and then cuts off his own flesh and blood until he dies with all the blood.
A voice kept telling him in his ear: You are a sinner!
The sound penetrates everywhere, coming from all directions, and it can't be driven away, even if you cover your ears, you can still hear it.
Then simply don't cover your ears, Mo Jinze's face is calm, let's see how long he will talk?
His current body is very weak, and his mind can only concentrate on dealing with the surging fear and seemingly endless nightmare in his mind.
When he first went up the mountain, it was only a little bit, and Mo Jinze didn't take it to heart, but after being thrown into the car by Qi An, as he got closer to the halfway up the mountain, that little bit became more and more serious.Not only mentally, the body also began to lose control, trembling and cold, tears and nasal discharge...
"Mo Jinze? Mo Jinze? Apprentice? How are you?" Qi'an stretched out his hand and pressed Mo Jinze's chest, he could clearly feel the heartbeat that was different from normal people, it was fast and urgent, chaotic...
Mo Jinze trembled uncontrollably, Qi An hurriedly hugged him into his arms, and looked around the carriage with his spiritual sense, looking for who was attacking them.He will never let this person go!
Mo Jinze broke out in cold sweat, Qian An hugged him into his arms, he huddled into Qi An's arms, moved his mouth up and down, and uttered a few words with difficulty, but it was: "Qi An...I... ...I'm afraid...I..."
"What are you afraid of? What's the matter?" Not knowing what was going on, Qi'an followed Mo Jinze, hugged his apprentice tightly into his arms, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you... "
It seemed that so many years had passed, Mo Jinze desperately gritted his trembling teeth, spat out a few words, "Leave, leave, here...down, downhill..."
Qi'an touched his face, it was hot, full of tears and snot, he was so embarrassed.
"But you look like this..."
Mo Jinze couldn't control his hands, so he could only use almost all his strength to control and speak, "Go, go, go..."
Without saying a few words, he finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Qirou, Fatty, you two take good care of them, pay attention to the surroundings, I will drive down the mountain!" Qi'an told the only two cats in the car who were fine, and asked the three of them to lie down in the car, blocking it with something. ,fix.
Then he drove the car down the mountain at full speed.
The carriage ran down the mountain along the downhill road in front of Shanwei Pavilion.
When approaching the foot of the mountain, Mo Xiwen woke up first, and the blood on his face recovered a lot, as if he had just experienced a serious illness, Qi Pang happily yelled "Meow~meow~" a few times.
Qi'an drove the car and looked back at the Weishan Pavilion standing halfway up the mountain, with a thoughtful look on his face.The speed of the car did not slow down, and it kept rushing to the road ahead.
After leaving Shanwei Pavilion for another half an hour, Mo Shiqi and Mo Jinze woke up one after another.
Qi An's heart was finally let go.
Mo Jinze got out of the carriage, "Let me drive, you take a rest after driving all the way."
"Not tired," Qi'an stared at Mo Jinze, "What happened just now?"
Mo Jinze didn't answer Qi An immediately, but turned around and asked Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen, "Shiqi, Xiwen, did you two hear, see or feel anything just now?"
Mo Xiwen shook his head, "I didn't see anything, I just suddenly felt a little pain in my stomach, I didn't have the strength, I felt like I had a heat stroke, and I didn't have energy."
Mo Shiqi: "I dreamed that I was fighting with a group of friends and killed them all. A group of people surrounded me and wanted me to pay for my life..."
"It's okay." Mo Jinze smiled weakly, "Just treat it as a nightmare just now, it's not real, just forget it."
Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen nodded: "Yeah."
Qi'an heard everything, but he didn't urge Mo Jinze to speak.
Mo Jinze leaned against the carriage and remained silent for a long time, as if he hadn't woken up from the nightmare just now.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, don't think about it." Qi'an suddenly said.
Mo Jinze turned his head and smiled at him, his smile was very bright, "It's okay, I'll tell you later."
Qi An paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
The author has something to say:
Friends, I received a notice from the editor that this story will start to reverse from chapter 25 tomorrow. If you haven’t seen the latest one, please take a look~
Thank you for your tolerance for my unstable update. I can’t guarantee it every day, so I will try my best to write more~
Mo Jinze pretended to be nonchalant and searched the house back and forth. He didn't miss the cellar compartment where the potatoes were stored, but there was no sign of Qi'an.
Seeing the cat fur on the ground, Mo Jinze calmed down a little, and went to the yard to look for Qi An, but unfortunately there was still no response for a long time.
Even though his younger sisters were by his side, Mo Jinze suddenly felt that he was the only one left in this world. His parents, younger sisters, and his clansmen had all left. Now, is Qi An really gone? Don't want him?
Mo Jinze was caught by that emptiness and heart-wrenching feeling, he was out of breath. He half bent down, put his hand on his chest, and breathed the air with difficulty, as if if he didn't try so hard to feel the breathing, he wouldn't feel that he was still alive. up.
Mo Xiwen: "Brother, what's the matter with you? — Sister?"
Mo Xiwen grabbed a small piece of chicken from the kitchen, and while eating, asked the two brothers who didn't know what to do and didn't go to eat to eat, but saw his brother standing in front of Brother An's house, looking very uncomfortable, She was so frightened that she lost her flesh, and hurriedly called her sister, Mo Shiqi.
Mo Shiqi, Qi Pang, and Qi Rou ran out of the kitchen when they heard the voice was wrong.
At this moment, a ball of yellow fluff suddenly fell from mid-air. The perception of cats is stronger than that of humans, so when Qi Pang and Qi Rou sensed movement and looked up, Qi Pang was almost scared out of his wits They all flew away, making a very sharp scream.
The attention of the younger sisters was naturally attracted by Qi Pang.
When I heard movement again, it was the sound of a human body colliding and a muffled hum.
When everyone turned their heads again, they saw Mo Jinze, who was standing at the door of the opposite room just now, lying on the ground in front of his own room, and he was the one who uttered the muffled groan.
And Mo An, who had been missing all morning, was also lying in front of Mo Jinze's room, just pressing on Mo Jinze.
The two of them were stacked together, and Mo Jinze hugged Qian'an tightly, for fear that he would disappear from sight again.
The night before yesterday was praying for the night, and because of Mo Jinze's condition, he didn't rest during the day, and he tossed around again at night. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by a call, and he closed his eyes to smell the sound of sleepwalking. Walking forward with the fragrance of rice, but didn't want to guess empty with one foot, walked on the roof in a daze, and then fell off the roof, was not very awake at first, but woke up instantly, and with the sound of the fat man It was hard not to wake up from the sharp scream that hurt people's ears.
The younger sisters like cats, and Fatty and Qi Rou will not leave them too far along the way, so the first thing Qi An does after waking up is not to stabilize his body and find a foothold, but to directly transform back into a human form, afraid that he will not be scared. I've seen nerdy sisters.
If it wasn't for Mo Jinze rushing over to act as a personal pad, Qi'an would probably become the first cat in the world to fall off the roof and die or be maimed.
"What are you doing?!" Mo Jinze's brows and eyes were not touched by the joy of knowing that the person hadn't left. On the contrary, Qian'an's inexplicable feat of almost falling to his death almost scared him half to death.
Qi'an raised his head, and his apprentice was right in front of him, his brows were tightly frowned, and the strength in his hands was so strong that he almost strangled him... It seemed that the two of them were so close for the first time...
Qi'an suddenly remembered last night, he wanted to eavesdrop, to see how deeply the plum blossom forest had poisoned Jin Ze, but instead of thinking about it, he saw a live / spring / palace.
I watched it all night without closing my eyes...
The heart in the right chest was beating violently "bang bang bang -" and there was more than one person.
Qi'an looked at Mo Jinze, Mo Jinze's face was full of worry and - fear.
"You..." Qian'an suddenly had a very strong desire/desire, he looked at Mo Jinze, eager to say something to the person in front of him, but his words got stuck.
It seems that thousands of words have come to my mouth at once, and suddenly I don’t know which one to say?
There are stars in his eyes, and a face in the starlight—it is Qi An.
The beginning of the words did not end, Qi An just looked into those eyes, and forgot what he was going to do for a moment...
The expected scene was too tragic, Qi Fatty clawed his claws into the soil, and lowered his head not daring to look at it.Accompanied by that muffled snort, he felt in a daze that something was wrong with the sound, and raised his head unsteadily, only to realize that he was just worrying blindly.
The roof is not very high, and you won't die if you fall down.
The moment they found that Qi'an had fallen from the roof, almost everyone rushed forward subconsciously, and Qi Pang was no exception. He was the first to find out, and the first to run, but he was almost caught by Mo Jinze and Qi'an. These two "persons" were crushed to death, and the two people landed less than half an inch away from Qi Fatty's side.
Qi Pang was eager to save his brother, but he almost had an accident. Now he came to his senses and became angry!
"Meow—ow—"
This sharp and ear-piercing sound made my skin crawl.
Qi An woke up suddenly, blinked his eyes cutely a few times, and now he is completely awake, glanced here, glanced there, looked down at the apprentice who was still frowning, and looked at the angry fat man sideways, it was very clear I realized that as a cat, I not only peeked at my apprentice taking a bath in the middle of the night, but also stayed on the roof of my apprentice, and fell from the roof in the morning smelling the smell of the food cooked by my apprentice...
For the first time, Qi'an felt a little ashamed, what the hell did he do all day long?
Oh, by the way, what did he want to say to his apprentice just now?Sitting at the dinner table, looking at the culprit who made him fall from the roof, Qi An suddenly remembered this question.
Then I couldn't remember anything, and I was absent-minded when I ate for the first time, and I didn't know the taste of the food.
The atmosphere of the breakfast was a bit silent. The younger sisters saw Qi Pang angry for the first time, and they were very angry, so they just let it go, and no one spoke at the dinner table.
Mo Jinze kept paying attention to praying for peace, tried to speak a few times, opened his mouth, and finally ended in silence.
After eating a sumptuous and overcooked breakfast with their own minds, everyone divided into two groups to buy the luggage needed for the next road, and then continued on the road.
After setting off in the afternoon, the younger sisters knew that the atmosphere was not right, so they stopped sleeping in the carriage. A group of people squeezed into the small space in front of the carriage, even if they were sweating from the heat, they would not get in the carriage.
Night after day, Mo Jinze and Qi An never found a chance to calm down and have a private conversation with each other.
After leaving Nanyang, the further he walked, the more silent Mo Jinze became.
All the way the carriage passed were unfamiliar places, the scenery, towns, villages, and even mountains and forests, all of which were not as they were in memory.
Mo Jinze remembered that when he left, Nanyang was the nearest town to the tribe.
Now I leave Nanyang and walk forward, like a traveler returning to his hometown, trying to find familiar things and a familiar sense of existence, but there is none.Things were different when he left, but now 200 years have passed, the world has changed, and things are not what they used to be.
This time he came back or he passed here, with Qi An who had been missed, and the younger sisters who did not seize life and came back again, as well as Qi Fat, who had suffered so much here and has not healed the trauma, and a—yes Here, the one who had a subversive understanding of the people in memory——self.
Mo Jinze couldn't tell what he felt, but the closer he got, the more depressed he became.
It's almost tacit understanding here.
The carriage kept going forward day and night, and if it wasn't for the recurrence of Qi Fat's stomach disease, otherwise it wouldn't make any stops.
The village at the foot of the mountain had developed into a city, bigger than Nanyang.
After discussing with Qi An, Mo Jinze decided to settle down in the city first, and then continue on his way when Qi Fatty got better.
The new city is called Crescent Moon, also known as Xuncheng, and the city emblem is a crescent moon with water ripples.The mountain where the tribe where Mo Jinze’s family lived in the past has a new name. It is called Wanyue Mountain, also known as Xunshan. It is said that a pavilion was built on the mountainside more than 180 years ago, and the name is Shanwei Pavilion.
It is said that it was built for a great leader, but who is this leader?What merits?I don't know anything.
Crescent Moon City, Xunshan Mountain, Shanwei Pavilion, people who know it just by looking at these names will know it.
After learning this information, Mo Jinze and his party had already entered the city and lived in an inn in the city.There is a teahouse on the second floor of the inn. There will be a gentleman in the teahouse to give lectures every day. Although the content is all kinds of strange things, he always talks about the history of the city and the origin of its name. I don’t know who The leader of meritorious deeds closed his eyes and boasted indiscriminately for a while, fearing that one of the words of admiration and admiration would be missed, he kept talking endlessly.
Occasionally, someone will ask what achievements this leader has made. Not only the audience, but also the storyteller can’t tell why. He can only talk about the construction of the city and the pavilion. But the storyteller just said that the city, the pavilion and the name of the mountain are all for It is clearly inconsistent to commemorate the naming of leaders who made talents.
Later, Mr. Storyteller’s rhetoric changed, saying that the leader is actually the patron saint of this mountain, and that for hundreds of years, there have never been bandits, etc. Xiao Xiao, a rat, confirmed from the side that there really is a mountain god on the mountain.
Over time, people believed it.
There is a lot of admiration for the leader who does not know his achievements and experience.
After entering the city, Qi'an felt uncomfortable for a while. In this city, every three or five steps away, he could see a spirit monster who was cultivating adults. He didn't know what it was.
The place where so many spirits gather should be the tribe, but the tribe is unwilling to deal with people.
Tribes are like dragons, with natural advantages.Outside the tribe, anyone who can turn into a monster and then turn into a human is one in a million, just like the blood of a real dragon living among the people, which is rare and hard to come by.
There are too many in this city.
After listening to the introduction and directions from the waiter, Mo Jinze dug out a veterinarian from the labyrinth-like dwellings in the east city. After seeing it, the veterinarian knew that it was an old disease.
I asked Qi Fatty about his past medical history, thought he could attack aggressively, and wrote a prescription, telling Qi'an and Mo Jinze that the dosage must be in place, and if they don't cooperate, they must take it.
The more the veterinarian talked, the more Qian'an frowned, and he clenched his fist tightly. If Mo Jinze hadn't been pulling him by the side, the fist might have been directed at the veterinarian.
After the veterinarian finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The two little girls sitting across the table stared at him with big eyes. The two big men next to him didn't know what was hiding under the table, and they felt very dangerous.
Realizing that something was wrong, the veterinarian quickly picked up the medicine box and cupped his fists at Mo Jinze and Qi'an, "Then I'll take my leave first, and I'll settle the payment with the store first."
The veterinarian was introduced by the clerk from the shop, so he should be in contact with him, and finally the clerk would ask Mo Jinze to collect the consultation fee.
Mo Jinze has a little more reason than Qian'an, and after listening to the analysis of the doctor's consultation, he can tell where the doctor's level is.
But Mo Jinze also knew why Qi Fatty was so resistant to drugs.
After the doctor left, Mo Jinze comforted the agitated sisters and sent them back to the room.He made some porridge for Qi Pang, and asked Xiao Er to prepare some food for Qi An.
After he feeds Qi Pang and eats, and sits back at the table, Qi An's food hasn't moved yet.
Qi'an asked him: "Do you think this veterinarian is stupid? Or is he bad? How can the fat man's stomach still withstand tossing?"
Mo Jinze didn't answer his question directly, but asked, "What do you think?"
"What do I think?" Qi'an raised his fist, "I just want to beat that old man now."
After pausing for a while, Qi'an said again: "Go to the clinic to get the medicine first, ask the people in the clinic, and bring it back for examination."
"Okay, you eat your meal first."
Grabbing the medicine, asking, checking, boiling the medicine, and continuing to check, there were no problems. Qi'an looked at Mo Jinze again, but Mo Jinze didn't speak, but just returned the same attention and respect.
Qi'an's hand holding the medicine bowl loosened, grasped, loosened, and grasped repeatedly, and finally entered the room with the medicine bowl, frowned and hugged Qi Fatty. Although Qi Fatty had been struggling, his mouth It is indeed open.
Qi'an poured half a bowl of medicine into it, and the half bowl of medicine seemed to go through a cutscene in Qi Pang's stomach, and he vomited it all out within a short while.
Mo Jinze was waiting outside, when he suddenly heard a crackling noise, worried that something was wrong with Qi Fatty, so he rushed in.
It was the medicine bowl that Qi'an was holding dropped, and the remaining half bowl of medicine was scattered all over the floor, and the pieces of the bowl were scattered.Qi'an held Qi Pang in his arms, and kept patting his belly to coax Qi Pang.
Hearing the voice raised his head, he said word by word: "I'm going to chop that old man up!"
Qi Pang drank half a bowl of medicine, and vomited up the medicine and lunch together. He had no strength in his whole body, felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and was so weak that he couldn't speak.
Qi'an's eyes were red and watery.He has carefully protected his brother who hurts in the palm of his hand after so many years. If something happens to the half bowl of medicine, he will never let the doctor go.
Mo Jinze asked the waiter in the store to fetch water, and then went to the back kitchen to ask the kitchen to cook meat porridge for Qi Pang.Even though he was also anxious in his heart, Qian'an's eyes were red with anxiety. He was on the verge of his sanity collapsing. He couldn't be confused. Once he also panicked and became confused...
He suddenly had a premonition, and Mo Jinze didn't know where this premonition came from, but it just appeared in his mind suddenly, reminding him: maybe some people are waiting in the dark to see their chaos, to see them Show all kinds of flaws, and then come out to laugh at them, and even other dangers, whether it is psychological or personal safety, so he must not mess up!
After receiving the water brought by the waiter from outside the house, Mo Jinze glanced at the room next to his sisters, and could only vaguely hear the voices of the sisters teasing Qirou, and felt a little more at ease, at least the three of them here I don't know the situation.He only needs to stabilize Qi'an first, and then figure out the current situation of the fat man. There is more time.
Enter the house and close the door, and clean and tidy up Qi Fatty.
During this period, Qi'an stared at Mo Jinze's hand moving towards Qi Fatty with red eyes.
After tidying up, Qi Pang recovered a little bit, the meat porridge had just been prepared, and a waiter brought it up.After thanking Mo Jinze, he closed the door again, holding a porridge bowl and asking for peace: "Is it you or me?"
"I come."
Qi'an took the porridge bowl, the porridge bowl was too hot, he shrank his hand from the heat, but he still took the porridge bowl steadily, if it wasn't for that instinctive shrinking, Qi'an would have been calm and breezy without even noticing it The hot bowl is hot.
Mo Jinze's towel was delivered in time to insulate Qi'an's hands.
At the same time, I had a rough judgment on Qi An's current state of mind, and thought for a while after Qi Pang finished his meal, how could he appease Qi An?
Qi’an blew a small spoonful of it warm and then fed it to Qipang. Qipeng did not eat as fast as Qi’an’s blowing. finish eating.
Mo Jinze looked at it for a while, then picked up the broom to clean up the mess on the ground.
It was the first time for them to enjoy such tranquility since they left Nanyang City. Although the time was short and the mountains were on their bodies, it was as if they rested for a while while carrying a heavy load, and their mood naturally calmed down.
Qi Pang only ate half a bowl and couldn't eat anymore, and fell asleep in a daze.
Qi'an didn't impulsively go directly to the doctor to settle the score, but patted Qi Pang's hair and waited for Mo Jinze to clean up the ground.After tidying up, he said softly, "Do you still have the medicine from before?"
"Yes, there are still some lotus seeds, do you think?"
"Restore the previous dosage of medicine from tomorrow. It's better to hide it in the rice and don't let it find out. The medicine prescribed by the dead old man has stopped. How do you think I should ask him to settle the debt?" Qi'an's voice and expression were very calm , so calm that there were almost no ups and downs. If it weren't for his red eyes, outsiders would really not be able to see that he was actually very manic now, so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Many ways of answering flashed through Mo Jinze's mind, thinking about which way could make Qi An calm down.
Concerned about chaos, Qi An's current state is very unstable.
He tentatively said: "The old doctor said that the medication was very strong this time. Could it be that the dose is too strong and the fat man's body is not used to it? The medicine has been checked before, isn't it sure that there is no problem?"
"Yes, the medicines have been carefully checked," Qi An said, "But what if the medicines prescribed by the old man are compatible?"
"I went to a total of five medical clinics when I was picking up the medicine, and I checked with the medical clinics, and there is no medicine that can counteract it."
Suddenly the room fell silent again.After a long time, Qi'an took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm the one who got impatient."
Qian'an's mood calmed down, and Mo Jinze breathed a sigh of relief.Squat down in front of Qi'an, carefully put Qi Pang on the bed and sleep well, "When the fat man wakes up, we can ask him how he feels? If... If there is an accident, I will go directly to the old doctor The family tied him up to see you."
To be honest, Mo Jinze really wanted to kidnap the old doctor in the past, but he repeatedly told himself to be calm, calm down, and appease Qi An, so he didn't really implement this idea.
Mo Jinze looked at Qi'an's serious words, and deliberately squatted down to lower his posture, so as not to cause Qi'an's instinctive psychological guard.
Seeing that Mo Jinze didn't speak, Qi'an suddenly stretched out his hand, pinched the flesh on Mo Jinze's cheeks and pulled them to both sides, pulling his handsome face into a strange shape, then squinted his eyes and smiled cheerfully.
Mo Jinze also laughed silently, his eyes narrowed when he was pulled, and narrowed into a narrow slit when he smiled again, similar to Qi'an who dozed off when the cat was in the heart state.
Sunlight sneaked in through the windows and filled the room.Qi'an felt that there was a soft layer on Mo Jinze's face, and wanted to grab it to have a look, but he couldn't catch anything, probably the sun.
That night, Qi Fatty woke up again. Although his body was still weak, his complexion looked much better.
Mo Jinze looked at Qi'an, and Qi'an also happened to look at him.
Mo Jinze whispered, "How about...try again?"
Qi'an bowed his head and thought for a while, teased Qi Pang again, ordered the kitchen to cook meat porridge for Qi Pang, and said to Mo Jinze, "Then try again."
The next morning, Mo Jinze took the medicine stove and cooked the medicine himself.During the whole process of boiling the medicine, the medicine never left his sight.
Recently, because of Qi Pang's physical condition, those feelings of being close to home and timid have been forgotten.While boiling the medicine, Mo Jinze suddenly thought of it again. He didn't think about it deliberately, and he didn't encounter anything that would touch the memory level. He just remembered it suddenly for no reason.
The medicine stove was steaming hot, and the boiled water droplets "gurgled—" scrambling to bubble.
Mo Jinze just stared at the medicine stove to recall the past.
200 years ago, all the details he still remembers are not let go.
-
In the summer when Cicada yelled "I know I know—" Wei Xun came to him with a book and asked him.
While chatting, younger sister Mo Shiqi led two big cats, one black and one white, passing by the gate of the courtyard.Mo Jinze saw Wei Xun staring at the back of his sister and the cats walking past for a long time. His sister was too young, and they were not yet adults at that time, so Mo Jinze didn't think about that together, and joked: " Are you envious that we have Mao Xiaonao and Mao Xiaohua? Hahaha, Brother Wei can also raise one by himself."
"That's okay, Brother Ze..." Wei Xun also smiled and said, "Do you have one at home?"
Mo Jinze: "What does it look like?"
Wei Xun: "The flowers and colors are very mixed, I can't tell clearly. I have a chance to ask Brother Mo to take a look at another day."
Mo Jinze: "Okay."
But he had never seen this cat with a variety of colors.
——And he remembered that he once heard from his sisters that Wei Xun often went out hunting alone, and each trip was as short as half a day or as long as three to five days, and almost [-]% of the prey was abundant.
Even in the winter when the snakes hibernate, he can easily see snakes in Wei Xun's trophies, and they show signs of drying, not fresh.
So did he go hunting after all?If he didn't go hunting, did he go to the wolf eye tribe?
There are many other things. If we had been a little more vigilant back then, I think there would not be so many tragedies.Not to mention the vicissitudes of the past 200 years.
If he really thinks about it carefully, the past events in his memory are not enough to be overthrown.Why did Wei Xun become like that when he grew up together? How long has he been planning such an almost earth-shattering project?
...After the medicine was ready, Mo Jinze shook his head, put away those distracting thoughts in his mind, and concentrated on getting the medicine for Qi Fatty, no more, no less, exactly one bowl.
He deliberately dried it outside the house in the shade for a while, and waited for the temperature of the medicine to drop before taking it in for Qi'an.
Qi An is playing with Qi Pang in the room, making Qi Pang happy.
As soon as the smell of medicine wafted into the room, Qi An's efforts all morning were in vain.
Qi Pang jumped onto the top of the bed in a "swoosh" even though his body was weak, and because the brackets for the mosquito net on the top of the bed were not strong enough, he fell off together with the clothes hanger.
Qi'an didn't rush it, just stood in front of the bed with a medicine bowl, watching Qi Fat's performance.
Qi Pang fell off the top of the bed and fell onto the bed. Although it didn't hurt or itch, it didn't hurt, but the whole cat was a little confused by the fall.
After being dazed for a while, "Meow~" called out to Qi'an twice, and Mo Jinze understood the medicine bowl in Qi'an's hand.Qi'an sat down and stroked Qi Pang soothingly, then hugged him again.
Unexpectedly, Qi Pang turned over up and down in Qi'an's arms, turned into a posture with his belly facing the sky and his mouth facing up, and then opened his mouth with his eyes closed. -"
When he understood what Qi Pang was going to do, Qi An almost didn't hug it.
Mo Jinze asked suspiciously and nervously: "What's wrong? Is the fat man feeling uncomfortable?"
"No," Qi'an shook his head, feeling a little funny and helpless, and a little relieved, he said, "Fatty asked me to hold it down and feed it medicine like yesterday."
Mo Jinze: "..."
Thanks to Qi Fat's efforts to "cooperate", the medicine was administered smoothly. Although he vomited after drinking the medicine, he drank the whole bowl of medicine today.
After throwing up and eating half a bowl of porridge, he went to the sisters' room to play with Qi Rou for a while before going to sleep.
The state is obviously much better than yesterday, and the star hanging by a group of people finally let go a little bit.
Because the younger sisters were worried about Qi Pang, they didn't sleep well at night. Seeing that Qi Pang's spirit improved a lot, they were coaxed by Mo Jinze to catch up on sleep.
Only Mo Jinze and Qi An were left.
Mo Jinze took out two maps, one was the national general map that he had been using before, with only avenues and Guandu marked, and the other was old kraft paper with three routes marked on it, and the other was the national general map. The route from the avenue to southern Xinjiang that appeared was the route taken by Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen's parents' caravan. Sometimes it overlapped with the avenue, and sometimes they walked separately, but most of them were detours to avoid bandits.And the last one is - Mo Jinze's memory of his father's route to Southern Xinjiang to ask for medicine for his sister, and with the existing map, he slightly modified the route that had disappeared, and turned it into the fastest route to Southern Xinjiang.
Mo Jinze: "I don't know why, when I come back here again, I always feel that there are problems with the humanities, spirits, and even the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, and I feel that there will be danger."
"You also have this feeling?" Qi'an nodded, "It seems that the time is right, I also have this feeling. This Yuecheng, although the development is much better than when I left, but, I always feel that here It’s full of evil, you should feel it too, there are a lot of ghosts living in this place, and there are relatively few human beings, no one knows how it grew to such a large size, it’s several grades higher than Nanyang.”
"Pray for peace," Mo Jinze called out.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Qi'an turned around.
"When you left, did you come back after the war?"
Qi'an: "Yes, I came back more than 100 years ago and wanted to challenge Wei Xun..."
Mo Jinze: "What happened next?"
"Later?" Qi'an put down the medicine bowl, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch Mo Jinze's face again, "Later, as you can see, I failed, and he was still alive and well, sitting in a high position."
Qi An said again: "However, when I left, there were not so many storytellers in this place. There were too many teahouses and restaurants in Crescent Moon City."
Mo Jinze rubbed his painfully pinched face, and said, "Everywhere is weird here. I think the fat man's stomach disease relapsed too suddenly, without any symptoms. Is it because of coming back here?"
Qi'an nodded, "It's very possible, let him raise him for another day, and let's continue on our way."
"Well," Mo Jinze pointed to the map and discussed with Qi'an, "This is a comparison map of the three routes. Look, although the shortcut is much faster, it is also very dangerous. When my father went to southern Xinjiang, he went alone. There are many places on this short road that horse-drawn carriages cannot pass."
On the third day, Qi Pang took the medicine and didn't vomit anymore, and he was able to jump around alive and well, so they continued on their way, following the newly discussed route last night.
This route will pass through the Shanwei Pavilion halfway up the mountain, and pass from the Shanwei Pavilion. After walking up, there will be a very slow downhill road. Mo Jinze specially went to inquire about it, so that he can get out of the carriage and move forward.
The carriage drove all the way to the middle of the mountain, and as he got closer to the pavilion on the mountain, Mo Jinze's face became more and more grim, and Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen also had grim faces.
Among them, Mo Jinze's condition was the most serious, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.
Qi'an couldn't stand it anymore, picked him up and threw him into the carriage, and drove up the mountain by himself. The road to the halfway up the mountain was also very gentle, the horse basically had no burden, and the carriage was just like driving on a flat road.
After walking for a while, Qi'an turned around and asked, "How is it? Are you sick people all right?"
Qi Pang and Qi Rou will call "Meow Meow~" together, telling him that he is fine, and Qi An will continue on his way.
He couldn't see what was going on inside the carriage from outside, he only knew that Mo Jinze and his sisters were pale and pale, and he would reply "It's okay" when he asked.
Until reaching the Shanwei Pavilion, Qi An was still a little worried, parked the carriage under the tree, opened the curtain and poked his head in, his face turned pale with fright.
The three people in the car were all staggering, the two younger sisters had passed out, and their blood looked like...dead. Fortunately, there was no problem in sniffing.
Mo Jinze's situation is also not optimistic. Although he is awake, he can't speak, and his hands are still covering the mouths of Qi Fat and Qi Rou respectively, not to tell him, this idiot!
Mo Jinze felt a palpitation, and the fear that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly began to spread...
The real fear is like listening to scary supernatural stories when I was young and then encountering real supernatural events at night. The fear that suddenly gushes up from my heart makes my whole body sweat.
Unlike the fear of being held around the neck with a knife, he has a feeling that he will not be him soon, but he is still him or him in this skin, holding a knife, a sword, and a dagger with his own hands. Killed his clansman, parents, sisters, and Qi An with a single blow...
As for maintaining his sanity, he has only one pair of pupils to use until he kills everyone, and then cuts off his own flesh and blood until he dies with all the blood.
A voice kept telling him in his ear: You are a sinner!
The sound penetrates everywhere, coming from all directions, and it can't be driven away, even if you cover your ears, you can still hear it.
Then simply don't cover your ears, Mo Jinze's face is calm, let's see how long he will talk?
His current body is very weak, and his mind can only concentrate on dealing with the surging fear and seemingly endless nightmare in his mind.
When he first went up the mountain, it was only a little bit, and Mo Jinze didn't take it to heart, but after being thrown into the car by Qi An, as he got closer to the halfway up the mountain, that little bit became more and more serious.Not only mentally, the body also began to lose control, trembling and cold, tears and nasal discharge...
"Mo Jinze? Mo Jinze? Apprentice? How are you?" Qi'an stretched out his hand and pressed Mo Jinze's chest, he could clearly feel the heartbeat that was different from normal people, it was fast and urgent, chaotic...
Mo Jinze trembled uncontrollably, Qi An hurriedly hugged him into his arms, and looked around the carriage with his spiritual sense, looking for who was attacking them.He will never let this person go!
Mo Jinze broke out in cold sweat, Qian An hugged him into his arms, he huddled into Qi An's arms, moved his mouth up and down, and uttered a few words with difficulty, but it was: "Qi An...I... ...I'm afraid...I..."
"What are you afraid of? What's the matter?" Not knowing what was going on, Qi'an followed Mo Jinze, hugged his apprentice tightly into his arms, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you... "
It seemed that so many years had passed, Mo Jinze desperately gritted his trembling teeth, spat out a few words, "Leave, leave, here...down, downhill..."
Qi'an touched his face, it was hot, full of tears and snot, he was so embarrassed.
"But you look like this..."
Mo Jinze couldn't control his hands, so he could only use almost all his strength to control and speak, "Go, go, go..."
Without saying a few words, he finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Qirou, Fatty, you two take good care of them, pay attention to the surroundings, I will drive down the mountain!" Qi'an told the only two cats in the car who were fine, and asked the three of them to lie down in the car, blocking it with something. ,fix.
Then he drove the car down the mountain at full speed.
The carriage ran down the mountain along the downhill road in front of Shanwei Pavilion.
When approaching the foot of the mountain, Mo Xiwen woke up first, and the blood on his face recovered a lot, as if he had just experienced a serious illness, Qi Pang happily yelled "Meow~meow~" a few times.
Qi'an drove the car and looked back at the Weishan Pavilion standing halfway up the mountain, with a thoughtful look on his face.The speed of the car did not slow down, and it kept rushing to the road ahead.
After leaving Shanwei Pavilion for another half an hour, Mo Shiqi and Mo Jinze woke up one after another.
Qi An's heart was finally let go.
Mo Jinze got out of the carriage, "Let me drive, you take a rest after driving all the way."
"Not tired," Qi'an stared at Mo Jinze, "What happened just now?"
Mo Jinze didn't answer Qi An immediately, but turned around and asked Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen, "Shiqi, Xiwen, did you two hear, see or feel anything just now?"
Mo Xiwen shook his head, "I didn't see anything, I just suddenly felt a little pain in my stomach, I didn't have the strength, I felt like I had a heat stroke, and I didn't have energy."
Mo Shiqi: "I dreamed that I was fighting with a group of friends and killed them all. A group of people surrounded me and wanted me to pay for my life..."
"It's okay." Mo Jinze smiled weakly, "Just treat it as a nightmare just now, it's not real, just forget it."
Mo Shiqi and Mo Xiwen nodded: "Yeah."
Qi'an heard everything, but he didn't urge Mo Jinze to speak.
Mo Jinze leaned against the carriage and remained silent for a long time, as if he hadn't woken up from the nightmare just now.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, don't think about it." Qi'an suddenly said.
Mo Jinze turned his head and smiled at him, his smile was very bright, "It's okay, I'll tell you later."
Qi An paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
