A knife in love

Chapter 1320

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, there was only a "slap", and it was Aunt Zhu who slapped Erniu on the back hard, and cursed: "Little bastard, I told you not to sing these nonsense things, why don't you sing?" Listen, do you have to fall into the ditch and drown like those dead ghosts to fulfill your wish?!"

This slap was so hard that Er Niu staggered forward and fell to the ground with a "plop".When he fell, his face hit the ground, and his face hurt, and he lay down on the ground and burst into tears.

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng hurriedly walked a few steps, caught up with Aunt Zhu's mother and son, helped Er Niu up from the ground, and said, "Aunt Zhu, Er Niu is still a child, why bother to be angry with him?"

While speaking, Li Qiufeng brushed the dust off Er Niu's body, only to see that his face was covered with mud, and there were a few bloodstains on his forehead, tears, snot, and saliva stained his face, and he looked extremely embarrassed.Li Qiufeng took out a cloth towel from his arms, and gently wiped off the dust and tears on Er Niu's face.Although he used very light force, Er Niu's body shook every time he wiped it.

Aunt Zhu said next to her: "Master Zhu doesn't know something. This little bastard doesn't know what's wrong with him recently. He often sits in the room and sings these weird songs. One day, the boy from the Liang family next door heard it and followed him. He sang these songs. As a result, within a few days, Fazai suddenly fell ill and died. And Xiaoling from the Cai family in the South Campus, came to my house to play one day, saying that the lyrics were well written and learned from Erniu. A few days, and then one day, Xiaoling suddenly disappeared. A few days later, her body floated up in an old pool in the northwest corner of Zhuangzi. It's a ghost song, it's too unlucky. I beat him hard, and this little bastard didn't dare to sing anymore. I don't know what happened to him again today, but he still dares to sing this ghost song. How can I not beat him? ?!"

When Aunt Zhu said this, she became annoyed again, and slapped Er Niu again with her backhand.Li Qiufeng gently pulled Er Niu back, barely avoiding the slap.At this time, Li Qiufeng had wiped Er Niu's face clean, but the scratches on his forehead became more and more obvious, causing Er Niu to bark his teeth and mouth in pain.It's just that he was afraid of being beaten, so he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out in pain.

Li Qiufeng leaned down and said to Er Niu: "Er Niu, who did you learn this song from?"

Er Niu looked terrified, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Aunt Zhu, then shook his head vigorously, but didn't speak.

Li Qiufeng patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Er Niu, don't be afraid, I'll do a trick for you."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pick up a small stone from the ground, threw it casually with his right hand, and heard a sharp "whoosh", a branch as thick as a thumb on a big tree by the roadside broke from it and fell with a clatter. fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Er Niu immediately forgot to be afraid, and clapped his hands involuntarily.Li Qiufeng took the opportunity to ask: "Erniu, tell brother, who did you learn this song from?"

Er Niu kept staring at the branch on the ground, and said with a smile: "Uncle Deng, on the big boat, there is also Uncle Wang, the big hat. Ah, they are singing. Sing and sing, the boat is tied with a big rope, let's go myself."

Li Qiufeng was more and more puzzled when he heard that Erniu's words didn't match up, and he was about to ask again, but Aunt Zhu scolded: "Little bastard is talking nonsense again! Didn't my mother tell you not to mention those things again?" Dead ghost? Are you willing to make me angry?!"

After Aunt Zhu finished scolding, she threw her fist and wanted to hit Er Niu on the head again.Er Niu shrank his neck in fright, and hid behind Li Qiufeng again.Aunt Zhu looked flustered, and said to Li Qiufeng: "The Uncle Deng and Uncle Wang Er Niu mentioned are all people who have suffered disasters and died in Zhuangzi in the past few years. At first, everyone was very shy about these things, but this little bastard has always been When I mentioned it, I was also pointed at by these people in Zhuangzi."

The more Aunt Zhu spoke, the angrier she became, and at last, her eyes seemed to burst into flames, and she pointed at Er Niu and cursed: "My mother and widow are unemployed, and their lives are hard, but they have given birth to such a swindle, which has caused a lot of trouble. I can't hold my head up in Zhuangzi either. Why am I so miserable!"

Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng felt embarrassed, so he had to comfort Aunt Zhu a few words.Only then did Aunt Zhu realize that she had lost her composure and apologized repeatedly.Li Qiufeng said: "Aunt Zhu, Er Niu is still a child anyway, and he is sick, so you should be too strict with him. Although I have not yet married a wife and had children, I also know that parents and children will be together in this life. It is a fate that has been cultivated in many lifetimes. If parents do not protect their children, then who in the world would take pity on him?"

When Aunt Zhu heard what Li Qiufeng said, her heart ached, and she almost shed tears again.Li Qiufeng comforted her a few words, and then bid farewell to Aunt Zhu and Er Niu.

When he got to the official road and looked north, he saw Motianling towering high, like a huge stone wall, separating Dongliao County from the north.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, no wonder the Jin soldiers and Tartar soldiers built cities on the ridge.If Motianling is occupied, even if the enemy army has thousands of troops, it will be extremely difficult to invade Dongliao County.It's just that Dongliao County is close to the sea, the terrain is cramped, and the population is small.Even if the enemy is blocked to the north of Motianling, it will not be a big deal here.

Li Qiufeng stood in a daze on the official road for a while, thinking of the Chakougou that Wang Xiaoyu and Zhuang Ding had mentioned, he felt a little curious.Remembering that people said that Chakougou was on the north side of Wangjiazhuang, he figured out the direction and walked towards Motianling.After walking for less than half a mile, I saw a wooden bridge in front of me.Li Qiufeng was stunned for a moment, thinking that that night he went to Motianling with Xiao Dong, Qin Laowu and others to steal wood, and this was the way he took.But why don't you remember passing such a wooden bridge at that time?

He walked onto the wooden bridge, but saw a big ditch several feet deep under the bridge.This big ditch is five feet wide, runs east-west, and extends to both sides of the wooden bridge.It was like a big knife that stood upright, slashed down on the ground, leaving a huge scar on the ground.

Li Qiufeng walked slowly to the center of the wooden bridge, paced a few steps on the bridge, then jumped up vigorously, and stepped down hard on the bridge.Hearing only a few clicks, the wooden bridge trembled a few times, and then returned to normal.Li Qiufeng nodded, thinking to himself, the sky was dark that night, and everyone was only lit by the fire.This wooden bridge is very strong, even walking across in the dark, it is extremely difficult to find the bridge deck under your feet.It seems that the big ditch under the wooden bridge is the ditch that made everyone in Wangjiazhuang turn pale.No wonder the people in Wangjiazhuang said that Er Niu met a ghost. Among other things, this wooden bridge runs across this place. Even if there are boats, they must never pass through it.What's more, there is no water in the ditch, so how can there be a boat sailing here?It can be seen that Erniu is really hysterical, and it is really scary to say these words.

Li Qiufeng paced back and forth on the wooden bridge, looking up at Motianling from time to time.Thinking of the man in white that he met on the mountain that night, he thought to himself, that man in white is skilled in swordsmanship and is indeed a formidable opponent.But this person is obviously a martial arts master, and he is definitely not a ghost.Things are so strange here, Motianling is haunted by ghosts, Chakougou is haunted, Laowengshan is haunted, black and white impermanence has come to kill people in Wangjiazhuang.Could it be that Dongliao County is really a ghost town, and ghosts from all over the world come here to gather?

The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became, but he couldn't find any clues. In the end, he just shook his head, turned around and walked back the way he came.But when he was about to reach the intersection that turned towards Wangjiazhuang, he saw two people sneaking out of the intersection.Li Qiufeng was startled, and with a shake of his body, he hid behind a big tree by the roadside.Only those two people were wearing gray shirts, dressed like the two Zhuang Ding of Wangjiazhuang.Li Qiufeng thought to himself, this is the territory of Wangjiazhuang, since these two people are the Zhuang Ding of Wangjiazhuang, they should walk in the open and aboveboard, why should they act like thieves.Could it be that these two pretended to be Zhuang Ding and slipped out after doing something bad in Zhuangzi just now?

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng became suspicious, put his body behind the big tree, and listened carefully to the movements of the two people.After the two people walked on the official road, the footsteps stopped for a moment, and it seemed that the two whispered a few words.Then the footsteps sounded again, this time walking south, presumably going to Dongliao County.Li Qiufeng poked his head out quietly, and saw the figures of the two were more than ten feet away.He turned out of the big tree, performed lightness kung fu, and chased after him silently.When he was one zhang away from the two of them, he tapped his right foot, jumped up suddenly, and rushed towards the two of them.
