Hearing him say this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiaohong is the only person left in the entire Quelong Village who understands the yin and yang of Feng Shui. No matter how dissatisfied the clan leader is with him letting Xia Xiaobei and I go, he probably won't embarrass him too much.
The patriarch himself was once a Heavenly Ranker, so he naturally understood the importance of having a Feng Shui master in a village. Even if he hated him, he would not dare to do anything to him easily.
As I walked along, I noticed that a piece of white fish belly had appeared on the horizon, and it was starting to get dark.
"Okay, I'll take you here. You keep walking south, over three hills, and you'll reach the boundary of Jiming Village." Lu Xiaohong stopped and handed over a plastic bag in his hand.
I said: "I have prepared some food and water for you, which should be enough for you to eat on the way!"
I took the plastic bag and opened it. Inside were two large bottles of water and a few white flour steamed buns.
"Thank you!" I looked at him and said.
Lu Xiaohong didn't speak anymore, nodded to Xia Xiaobei and me, turned around and walked back.
"Hey! Lu Xiaohong!" After all, I couldn't suppress a thought I had never dared to think about, and shouted at his back.
Lu Xiaohong stopped, looked at me and said, "Is there anything else?"
I hesitated for a long time before saying, "What mark is that crazy lady talking about?"
Lu Xiaohong was silent for a long time, then looked at me and slowly unbuttoned his shirt, exposing half of his shoulders.
While we were talking, it was already getting bright enough for me to see his shoulders clearly.
I saw a small golden dragon-shaped tattoo on Lu Xiaohong's wheat-colored shoulder, near his collarbone.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since I heard Lu Xiaohong say that Shuyun had given birth to a child outside, I had been thinking about Crazy Sanniang’s words. She said that I was Shuyun’s child!
Fortunately not! I don’t have that kind of mark on my body.
"Anyone from our Kunlong Village will have this mark on their body! If so, they must return to Kunlong Village at the latest when they are twenty years old!" Lu Xiaohong looked into my eyes and said.
From his eyes, I saw a hint of worry, but soon, that worry turned into relaxation.
After saying goodbye to Lu Xiaohong again, Xia Xiaobei and I walked forward in the direction he told us.
"Hu Ling, do you think we won't encounter Lame and the others again if we walk back like this?" Xia Xiaobei asked me worriedly.
"Even if we really encounter it, there is nothing we can do. Who told you not to listen to the advice and insist on treating yourself as a heroine? Otherwise, we will be able to take the bus back to Jiming Village today!" I said angrily.
"I don't want to either, Hu Ling, you said that the people in their village are so crazy that they want to kill other people casually." Xia Xiaobei said again.
"This is human nature. When your own life is threatened, what does the life of others matter? What's more, the people in their village have long been accustomed to getting something for nothing. For people like them, as long as it is beneficial to them, they will get it.
That's right, people like that don't think about others, they only think about themselves, they don't have faith, and they don't have feelings." I sighed.
"I didn't expect that Lu Xiaohong was such a good person. By the way, Hu Ling, you said that their clan leader wouldn't harm him after he goes back, right?" Xia Xiaobei suddenly asked me worriedly.
"Probably not! As you said, everything in their village is weird. It seems that things that are impossible to happen outside are so natural in their village. Just like the corpse transformation, you are somewhere else.
Have you ever seen someone who can use the resentment of another deceased person to suppress the corpse? I’m afraid the corpse will only become more powerful, right?” I said.
"Yes, yes, I heard Lu Xiaohong say that and found it unbelievable. It's okay to be where they are! I still feel a little confused!" Xia Xiaobei said.
"There is nothing unimaginable. There are all kinds of strange things in the world, and there are many places that we can't touch. We just don't know about them. Therefore, the patriarch and the villagers who live in such a weird trapped dragon village still want to live well.
, they will definitely know how important a psychic is to them!" I explained to Xia Xiaobei.
Xia Xiaobei exhaled and said, "That's good. I was worried that he would be implicated because of my affairs. I feel relieved when you say that!"
As I was talking, I suddenly heard a baby crying faintly in front of me.
"Ah wu - ah wu -" sounds like it makes people feel sad.
"What's the sound?" Xia Xiaobei glanced at me, looking around with a vigilant expression.
"It sounds like a baby crying, let's go over and have a look!" I pulled Xia Xiaobei's sleeve and said.
"No, don't go! Maybe someone is trying to use our sympathy to trick us into going to a place we shouldn't go!" Xia Xiaobei said nervously, pulling on my sleeve.
After all, she was bitten by a snake once and has been afraid of well ropes for ten years.
"No way, how could someone want to harm us in this deep mountain and old forest? If they really wanted to harm us, they would just rush out and do it without lying?" I raised my feet and walked toward the crying sound disapprovingly.
"You also know that it is a deep mountain and old forest, so how can there be a baby crying in this deep mountain and old forest?" Xia Xiaobei retorted to me.
This sentence is true.
"Maybe it's something like a kitten. A cat's meowing sounds a bit like a child's cry." I glanced at Xia Xiaobei and said.
"Even if there are cats here, they are wild cats. Wild cats are scary and can hurt people! Let's go, don't go look!" Xia Xiaobei said, holding my arm tightly.
"Ah wu - ah wu -" the cry came again, one after another, very urgent and very sad.
I don't know why, but when I heard this sound, I felt particularly familiar, and I had an urge to go and take a look.
"It's okay. Listen to that sound. Even a wild cat is still a little wild cat. It must be in danger. It sounds so pitiful." I tried hard to persuade Xia Xiaobei and pointed her in the direction of the sound.
Drag away.
The cry came from a patch of grass under a big tree. I walked over quietly, and when I was still two or three meters away from the tree, I found a big snake as thick as a wrist wrapped around the trunk.
He hissed at the patch of grass where the cry came from.
I took out the dragon scale dagger from my pocket and threw it seven inches away from the big snake.
The dragon-scale dagger made a soft sound, making a sound that sounded like joy, and stabbed seven inches into the big snake.
The big snake's body stiffened, and a wisp of blue cold light flashed on the sharp thin blade of the dragon scale dagger. The snake's body and head separated, and fell to the ground with a "click" sound.
The cry of "Ah wu - ah wu -" suddenly stopped, and a fluffy, light yellow and colorful little head poked out from the grass. Its black eyes looked at me without fear, and it suddenly jumped up.
He jumped on the big snake's body and began to bite and chew it.
