30、【04】
Jiang Lian quickly retreated, but the two chatted and walked towards this end. They were about to turn to the door and meet him. Jiang Lian hurriedly picked up Meng Qianzi and avoided the other side of the room. The outside of this side was also connected to the courtyard wall, so he should be able to climb over the wall.
The conversation between the two was almost right in front of their ears.
"Go in and see her?"
"No, Sister Bai said, she is very difficult to deal with. Ordinary people, three high incense sticks will fall after noon. She has more than a dozen sticks, and it's okay. It won't work until dark. Moreover, the mountain ghost will be 'into an epileptic', so you can't be deceived by her."
Jiang Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself that he would listen to your sister Bai.
But these two people are not leaving yet.
"Did you see the necklace she wore on her neck? It's very beautiful."
necklace?
Jiang Lian lowered his head in confusion and looked at Meng Qianzi curled in his arms. She really wore a necklace around her neck, which was indeed beautiful. The neck pendant was made of golden roughness, and the tip of the cloud was trembling and trembling jade, which was clear and slim. It was obvious at first glance that it was valuable.
"There are also bracelets, which look good, and look like gold thread flashing on her wrist."
Jiang Lian's eyes fell on Meng Qianzi's wrist again, which did not look like gold threads. They were a few strands of gold threads drawn into silk, which should be matched with the necklace. The lines were worn with extremely small emerald green jade beads. When the sun shone, it shone brightly and shined.
He remembered that she woke up in the middle of the night and went downstairs, and then was "hijacked". Why did she wear so much jewelry while sleeping?
"Can't you take it? If she wakes up and wants it, Sister Bai will know."
"What about wearing it? I haven't even worn it that beautiful..."
Before he finished speaking, a clicking lock sounded, and the hand was too fast. Jiang Lianxin called out, and before he could react, the door had been pushed open. Almost at the same time, the girl's sharp voice that was comparable to an alarm sounded: "Sister Bai!"
***
Jiang Lian was probably right. The people in this village seemed to be in the same group. There were shouting here, and the outside of the courtyard was soon filled with steps, mixed with shouts—
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Is it Tayapo's family?"
"Jinzhu, what are you calling?"
Fortunately, the two girls were in a panic and ran to the door, which made the courtyard temporarily empty. Jiang Lian picked up Meng Qianzi and quickly entered a bedroom next to him. Most of the houses here were made of stone and wood, and the lighting was very poor. The bedroom seemed to be lived in by an old woman. All the furnishings were old and dark. Jiang Lian first pushed Meng Qianzi under the bed, and also went in and lay down. After leveling it for a while, he reached out to sort out the hanging sheets and straightened the slippers under the edge of the bed.
There was a noisy outside, but it was wet and quiet under the bed. Jiang Lian tried hard to listen to what those people were saying, but the sound was too noisy and it was separated by the stone wall. It was not real to hear it. He could only vaguely tell that Bai Shuixiao was also in it.
After a while, the crowd dispersed, but there were mixed foot sounds and came straight towards the bedroom. Jiang Lian felt a sudden sensation in his heart, fearing that he would be discovered or was about to be discovered, so he moved inside again.
Through the lower edge of the bed sheet, he saw several pairs of women's feet rising and falling. The one at the front sat on the edge of the bed, between the heels and the lower edge of the trouser legs, revealing a piece of white ankle.
These should be Bai Shuixiao. The three standing facing her, two wearing girlish flower shoes, probably the two girls, and one wearing fat and wide blue cloth shoes, and the one was undoubtedly Tian Yapo.
Jiang Lian held his breath.
I heard Bai Shuixiao ask, "Is the door locked?"
A girl replied: "It's locked well, the fragrance is burning, and the single person is gone."
“When did it disappear?”
The girl was a little scared and paused for a while before saying, "I don't know... I went to change the incense at noon. Now the sun is about to set, so I don't know when I ran away."
Bai Shuixiao was angry and anxious: "Can someone come to rescue him?"
This should be asked by Tian Yapo. The old woman hesitated: "It shouldn't be possible. Didn't you say that the road was done cleanly and they were thrown away simply. Isn't it possible to follow me? Besides, I just asked a question, no one had seen a stranger. You know here. Whenever a person sees a stranger, he will stop him and not let him go, and the whole village will know."
Jiang Lian secretly admired his foresight: it is right to cover up his signs, but this village is indeed abnormal.
Bai Shuixiao couldn't help her: "How could it be gone? She just disappeared for no reason?"
Tian Yapo said a little flinched and fearful: "This Miss Meng is not simple, Xiaoliang dares to be beaten by her. I have never known that there are people like Shan Gui, but they have the ability and rely on for their own income. This Shan Gui is also considered a mountain god. The woman is young and is already their leader. Will she... be able to escape from the ground?"
Jiang Lian wanted to laugh, but he glanced at Meng Qianzi beside him: I don’t know if he would escape, but it was true that he was lying on the ground.
Bai Shuixiao was very annoyed: "What are you talking about?"
Although she was scolding, her pronunciation was uncertain, and obviously she was not sure. Tian Yapo suddenly panicked: "Bai Yatou, if she escaped, will she bring people to retaliate? They have many people and many methods. Do we... have to hide first?"
Bai Shuixiao didn't say anything, and after that, she murmured: "No, if she really could escape, she would have escaped long ago, and someone would have saved her. Maybe that person was good at it, but he was not discovered after entering the village."
Jiang Lian's Adam's apple rolled gently: This hasty arrangement will not last long, and he is most afraid of the other party thinking calmly.
"I was still there before noon. Although I didn't guard that house, I was in the yard. I couldn't know if someone came in. I only left for a while. If I saved someone, it would be the only gap, but I left the gold beads and silver beads..."
Speaking of this, a voice suddenly rose: "Did you two sneak out to play?"
I don’t know if it was Jinzhu or Yinzhu, answered: “No, we went out for a while and weaved the straw and weaved the birds, but we kept looking at the door and no one came out…”
As the edge of the bed was light, Bai Shuixiao suddenly stood up, and then slapped loudly in the face: "Baoman, what's the use of looking at the door? Will people not climb over the wall?"
The girl whispered and did not dare to cry.
Tian Yapo stamped her feet in a hurry: "Go away quickly, and you still care about these things that are available or not. The golden pearls and silver pearls have to leave. Can the mountain ghosts afford to provoke? You even killed their people..."
Bai Shuixiao couldn't listen and was still muttering to herself: "No, people come and go outside. Even if Meng Qianzi was not dizzy, she would definitely have sore feet and weak legs. In such a short time, they would definitely not go far!"
Her voice was excited: "Maybe it is hidden in a nearby house, Tian Yapo, go outside and ask them to see what kitchen, warehouse, cabinet, and under the bed in the yard..."
Hearing the word "under the bed", Jiang Lian's scalp and hair exploded. Bai Shuixiao's mind was indeed moving quickly. She was "dark under the light" now, and she was suspected of it and had not yet doubted it under her bed, but this was just a flash of thought.
I didn't know which bell was acting like a good person, so I said frankly: "Is it under the bed? Our bed is wide and big, and it's also easy to hide."
As he spoke, he held his palms up.
Jiang Lian saw the thin body folding down and he would lean his head down the next second. The string was extremely tight, but he loosened his body: the horizontal and vertical ones were to reveal the stuff, and he would not lose the formation. Should he turn his body, give him a chin, and say hello to her with a smile? At least his posture is good...
At this moment, a jingle ringing sound came from outside. The sound was thin at first, but it grew rapidly: other ringing sounds were coming in one after another, and a "bang" sound was mixed with the sound of a gong, and the buzzing sound was swaying for a long time.
The thin body froze and stood back, and Tian Yapo almost jumped up as if she had been stepped on her tail: "Oh no! The mountain ghost caught up with the door. If you stumble, you can't leave!"
***
Jiang Lian intuitioned that "the mountain ghost caught up with the door" was impossible. No matter how capable Meng Jinsong and his group of people were, they could not accurately reach this point. But he was happy that this quarrel happened, which at least broke the crisis a few seconds ago and gave him time to turn around. The focus of the people was indeed removed from the "under the bed". Bai Shuixiao was a little confused: "How could it be so fast? Don't panic, let's see the situation first."
Several people walked out while talking, and soon disappeared. The opportunity was not missed. Jiang Lian quickly came out. The courtyard was empty and the door was half open. He first covered the door and then looked at the path outside, then poked half of his head out from the wall. His eyes were everywhere, and he was delighted.
This village is scattered on a slanted hill, but it is different from any other village. There is a stone wall built by a man high around it. It can be seen that it has been gradually built up in different years. The stones below are getting older. I don’t know what to guard against. If you want to guard against wild animals, other villages in the mountains also have this kind of worry, and no one has seen them build high walls.
The village gate was naturally open at the lowest point. Tian Yapo's house was relatively high, so the wall was quite wide. He saw that there were groups of people going to the village gate, and there were already a lot of crowds of people. I dare not say that all the people in the village rushed there, but at least it means that the village is now congested in front and empty behind. In addition, the sun sets westward, which is only one step away from darkness...
It is a good opportunity for God to escape, and it is time to go! If you are really a mountain ghost, it is good to meet the two, but what if it is not? Let’s make sure to escape from danger first.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Lian ran back to the house and got Meng Qianzi out of the bed. She was still so faint that she was ignorant. Jiang Lian put her on her back and tied a rope around to prevent her from slipping down. He regretted that no one broadcast it live for him: If he could record a video, and when she woke up and saw him doing his best to rescue him, he would be moved and let go of his past grudges. The friendship between the two would be expected. Then he would borrow the mirage beads to her, and it would be natural.
He climbed out of the courtyard wall, leaned against the direction he remembered when he was searching the village before, and walked towards the back mountain. Fortunately, the road was smooth. When he retreated halfway, he looked back. It was indeed not like a mountain ghost coming to the door. The people who were surrounded by the village gate had already walked back one after another, most of whom were leisurely strolling.
There was not much time left, and Jiang Lian was anxious and didn't care about covering up any more carefully. He ran away when he passed by a door. When he passed by a door, he suddenly heard someone yelling in the door: "Who are you!"
Jiang Lian was caught off guard and subconsciously stopped and turned around.
He saw a thin man crawling out of the door quickly. He had no legs, and he had an amputated limb. He only crawled with his hands and moved his body. His upper body was naked, with ribs covered with a layer of dark dry skin, which looked scary. He asked before, but he was still uncertain. When he saw Jiang Lian's face clearly, he knew he was a stranger. His face suddenly became fierce and terrifying. He reached out and pulled out a small hand axe from his waist, and smashed it towards the two of them.
Is this kind of virtue possible? Is it possible to kill without saying anything? Fortunately, Jiang Lian was throwing his head as if he was accurate. Unexpectedly, the man was very fierce and rushed towards Jiang Lian. His body was half less than that of ordinary people. His arms were strong and powerful, and he swung left and right, and his wheels were as fast as a speedy wheel. This scene was too strange. Jiang Lian was stunned for a moment. In this moment, the man was already roaring and rushing towards him. Depending on the situation, he wanted to hug his legs.
Jiang Lian hesitated for a moment and started to attack the disabled. He was a little disgusted, but he was in a hurry to take power and couldn't care about so much. He kicked the man and tried to see if he was injured. He saw a woman's head poking out from a door not far away. She had seen a middle-aged woman with a sick leg and wearing a red suspender that she had seen before.
Like that man, her expression was violent for a second. She actually dragged a shovel out and limped towards it.
Is this crazy? Jiang Lian's heart was in a state of turmoil, and he thought that it had been exposed anyway, so he was fighting for speed.
So he turned around and ran towards the back of the village.
The man turned over, clenched his fists with both hands, and pounded the ground violently twice, then quickly climbed to the door, grabbed a hanging rope, and shook it desperately.
It turned out that there was a rusty old copper bell hanging above the door lintel, and a hanging rope was tied to the bell tongue. He was so irresistible that the jingling ringtone rang out immediately. Soon, two or three places nearby responded, but they didn't go to watch the fun. The people who stayed at home heard the warning and helped the warning. A little further away, one or two places joined. The sound flowed quickly to the crowds of three or five, leisurely gaits.
Looking down from a high place, the houses are like picturesque. When the people on the painting hear the sound at first, they have extremely short stiffness and stagnation, like the freeze of the video.
