Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 390 Li Dongfu

"Turn off! Turn off the lights!"

Seeing the second uncle drinking so nervously beside him, Xiao Ran hastily acted according to the second uncle's order, keeping the car and people in a state of silence, and involuntarily clenched the handle of the Guanshan knife.

The sheep-headed monster covered in black fur kept approaching with strange steps, and under the dim light behind it, there were also black shadows. From a distance, it looked like the ghost that followed the tiger in the legend.

"Dong dong dong..."

As the black-haired sheep-headed monster approached, a burst of inexplicable drumbeats also sounded, and bursts of sobbing calls sounded, as if singing or crying.

"Second uncle...is this thing a mountain ghost?"

Xiao Ran lowered his voice, afraid that his voice would be heard.He searched his guts, but he really didn't know what it was. He could only think of the legendary monster that eats wild animals and picks wild fruits in the mountains, and even captures people to be his spouse.

In particular, this thing not only looks ugly, but its sound is ugly, and there are so many yellow and green things like will-o'-the-wisps behind it, which really give people too strong psychological hints and a sense of oppression at night.

Xiao Ran nervously looked at the things that were approaching in front of the windshield, the sound of swallowing suddenly became clearer now, and the rhythm of the beating drums became more distinct.

His whole body was ready to launch, once this thing showed the slightest malice, no matter if it was a monster or a beast, Xiao Ran would try his best to chop it into two pieces.

At this time, the black-haired monster had already walked to the front of the car, and stood there in a strange posture, as if it was confronting the unfamiliar steel monster in front of it.

After standing still for a while, his hands slowly inserted into his fur, as if he was rummaging for something.

"No...it's not a ghost, this thing seems to be..."

The second uncle seemed to be thinking about something, and at the same time Yin Yang Jing also spoke: "Good man, those things in front... are living people."

"Live?!"

Just when he was in doubt, those whispers and drums stopped, and a dazzling light penetrated the windshield and directly shone on Xiao Ran's face, causing him to raise his hands to cover his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, bright lights came one after another, and the black-haired monster walked up to the car in the same posture as a human, knocked on the door, and said politely: "Comrade, please open the door..."

The accent is authentic and pure, and it sounds like a local.The beams of light also moved away politely at this time, only then did Xiao Ran see clearly that beside the car was just an ordinary person wearing a fur coat and pushing a sheep skull mask to the top of his head, with a flashlight in his hand, and a black and red face all over his face. All with apologetic smiles.

In front of the front of the car, there were more than a dozen people dressed in black from head to toe, all of whom took off their black cloth masks at this time, all holding flashlights, smiling honestly like the "mountain ghost" next to them.Two of them held simple sheepskin drums in their hands.

"These people are engaging in shaman rituals..."

Faced with his second uncle's belated perception, Xiao Ran angrily and amusedly threw the knife into the back seat, then opened the door and got out of the car.

"Comrade, you guys... come from Zhaojing! The grandma of the Jin family is right! Sure enough, you will meet a nobleman within a mile of the village! My three boys can be saved!"

Xiao Ran quickly raised his hand and said: "Stop, please speak slowly, what kind of grandma Jin, what kind of nobleman? How could you three boys be saved? And what's the matter with you guys doing this at night? ?”

The "black-haired monster" had tears in his eyes and his voice was almost choked.Hearing Xiao Ran's question, he was about to explain, but a young man behind him interrupted: "Li Dongfu, since we have found a nobleman, let's get rid of this crap and mess with these old people in the middle of the night Feudal superstition, it scares people..."

Before he could answer, there was already a rustle in the crowd, and everyone unbuttoned the rough black hooded long cloth robes to reveal their clothes, many of them still had ethnic styles.

An older person also said at this time: "Dongfu, let's welcome the distinguished guest back, let's talk about it when we go back..."

That Li Dongfu also took off the sheep's skull at this time, wiped his tears, held Xiao Ran's hand enthusiastically and actively, and said: "Your Excellency, we are from Yingwei Village ahead, please go there, there are some matters To trouble you..."

The older man also came up, glanced at Li Dongfu, and said politely: "Our village is only a dozen miles away. It's not safe for you two to drive at night, and you have to pass our village. You can go Let's rest..."

"Park's second father is right! The main thing is to ask you two to rest..."

Hearing what Park Erpa said, Li Dongfu realized that he was only thinking about his own affairs, and the other party might not agree, so he hurriedly followed Park Erpa's words and warmly invited his uncle and nephew.

"Second Uncle, look..."

Xiao Ran withdrew his hand from Li Dongfu, wiped the wet sweat and tears on his body, and turned to look at the second uncle in the car.At this time, the second uncle's eyes were fixed on the things in the hands of the second father Pu, and he turned a deaf ear to li xuan's question.

Xiao Ran followed the second uncle's gaze, and in the middle of the second father Pu's hand was holding a faintly glowing stone. The light like the will-o'-the-wisp before was emitted from this stone.

"Cough...Second Uncle? Shall we go to the village ahead?"

Xiao Ran asked again, and the second uncle finally came to his senses, and replied with great certainty: "Go! It's really late and I can't see the road clearly, whether it's a person or a ghost. We've been driving all day, so we should take a rest. "

When Li Dongfu heard this, he immediately bowed and thanked Xiao Ran and his second uncle like a god, and a young man next to him quickly brought a tray with a gleaming silver jug ​​and small wine bowl on it. , and a few pieces of baked rice cakes on a silver plate.

Li Dongfu filled two cups of yellow and white rice wine, and saluted Xiao Ran and his second uncle with both hands.The second uncle drank it down without any hesitation, and Xiao Ran didn't hesitate any longer, and drank it with his neck raised.The slightly viscous rice wine tasted a bit like yogurt, sweet and sour, flowing down the esophagus into the stomach, leaving a warm current.

Xiao Ran was thirsty, and felt that the taste of this thing was very good, so he drank two more glasses.Li Dongfu enthusiastically handed over the baked rice cakes. The tray was covered before, and the rice cakes were still warm, and some sugar was sprinkled on top.Xiao Ran took a sip of rice wine and a rice cake, eating it with great enjoyment.

But there are very few things, and after a few mouthfuls, the jug and rice cake plate will be bottomed out.Seeing that Xiao Ran was not satisfied, Li Dongfu hurriedly said: "This is the etiquette for welcoming guests. You should eat these two bites first. There are still some at home. Let's eat at home!"

At this time, Pu Erpai also shouted to the crowd: "Welcome the distinguished guests! All lead the way ahead!"

Xiao Ran got into the car, licked the sugar residue on his hands, and said to Li Dongfu outside the car window: "Li Dongfu... Mrs. Jin, and Mrs. Pu, are you fellows from the Chao clan? ..."

Li Dongfu said with a smile on his face: "The nobleman is well-informed, we belong to the Chao clan, but these are not the etiquette of the Chao clan, but the etiquette of our village, which has been passed down from the past. It is an old custom... "

"What? It's a scorpion again?!"

Xiao Ran's voice was overwhelmed by the sound of the car starting.Li Dongfu quickly took two steps back to the side, and then ran to the front of the car to lead the way, Xiao Ran had no choice but to roll up the window first to prevent all the flying dust from drifting in.
