Chapter Seventy-Two: Going Home for Dinner
Ghost Cry led the big black horse to the river, the sun was very strong, the big black horse didn't want to come, but when he thought of the peasant woman chopping meat in the kitchen, and the bull with blood-red eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly followed.
The creek is not far from the village, through a field. Many trees were planted along the river, and the soil on the ground was not as dry as in other places.
Stepping on a layer of leaves on the ground that was not too thick, and passing through several rows of trees by the river, the scene by the river clearly appeared in front of me.
The water is not very clear, and it is a little muddy because of the sediment.
The wind blew and rippled across the river.
A few children soaked in the water, playing in the water "cheerfully", and bursts of happy laughter came out. However, some of their faces were only numb, and they couldn't see the slightest bit of happiness, and there were large traces of ulceration on their faces.
The bell moved slightly, ringing softly. Behind him, a child's crisp voice came out: "Uncle, who are you?"
The big black horse was startled, and hurriedly came to the side of Ghost Cry, this village was too weird, and he kept feeling furious in his heart. Ghost Cry turned around, and a child of seven or eight years old hid behind a tree, revealing half of his head. He was thin, but he certainly looked much more normal than the other kids.
Ghost Cry showed a kind smile on his face, the child's pupils shrank, his face turned pale, but he didn't run, and still asked, "Uncle, who are you?"
"My name is Ghost Cry, and I'm from somewhere else, and I happened to be passing through here. Ghost Cry said.
"Uncle Devil Cry. The child asked curiously, "Are you a robber?"
"It's not. Ghost Cry laughed and replied, "I'm a swordsman." ”
The child asked curiously, "What is a swordsman?"
"It's a knight with a sword. ”
The child asked endlessly: "Is the uncle very powerful, can he beat the robbers?"
Ghost Cry replied, "Yes." ”
"My uncles and uncles have been able to fight too. The child said proudly: "Those robbers were beaten to the point of urine, crying dad and calling mother, but many uncles and uncles lost their heads." ”
"It's amazing. Ghost Cry praised, "Why don't you go into the water and play with them?"
"I made a mistake and they ignored me. "The child was very frustrated.
Ghost Cry tried to make his tone gentle, stepped forward, crouched down and said, "What did you do wrong?"
"I lost my lower body. The child floated out from behind the tree, with only his upper body, broken at the waist, and dripping with blood.
The big black horse's pupils shrank sharply, and he took a step back, his hind hooves stepping into the water.
"Good boy, what's your name?" Ghost Cry said in a more gentle tone.
"They all call me Little Tiger. Xiao Huzi, who only had half of his body left, said.
Ghost Cry stretched out his hand and touched Xiaohuzi's head, and asked, "Xiaohuzi, how did you lose the lower half of your body, can you tell your uncle?"
"The robbers came with knives, and my uncle and uncle fought with the robbers, and my father carried me here, and then my father's head fell off, and the robbers snatched my lower body, and Xiaohuzi didn't mean to lose it, and told them, but they ignored Xiaohuzi. ”
Speaking of which, Xiaohuzi was very depressed.
"That's it!" Ghost Cry nodded, "So you want Uncle to help you get your lower body back?"
"It's not. Xiaohuzi shook his head: "Xiaohuzi wants to go home for dinner, but I haven't been back for a long time, and my mother must be very worried." ”
Ghost Cry's heart sank, smiled reluctantly, and touched his head: "What a good boy, when it gets dark, uncle will take you home again, it's too hot now, it's not good in case of heat stroke." ”
Xiaohuzi nodded again and again, complaining about the weather: "Yes, yes, it's been so hot lately, and the sun is like being burned by fire, and it hurts to death." ”
Is it really too much sun?
Ghost Cry didn't dwell on this, he felt pity for this child's inertia, and hated the mastermind behind the scenes.
The two of them, one big and one young, started chatting, Xiaohuzi is very good at chatting, and he loves to chat, this little guy is a chatterbox.
"Uncle, uncle, puppy and uncles have become so ugly, Daddy doesn't want Xiaohuzi to be as ugly as them, so he takes Xiaohuzi to leave. But then Daddy was homesick, and just walked and turned back, but fortunately he didn't leave, otherwise he would never see the puppy again. ”
"Daddy has also become ugly, my mother gave birth to an ugly brother, really ugly, but then it disappeared, and Xiaohuzi didn't find it for a long time. ”
"Everyone has become ugly, only Xiaohuzi is the most beautiful, but Xiaohuzi also wants to be ugly, otherwise it will be different from everyone......"
The bells in the wind are unusually soft, and the laughter of children in the water echoes in the ravine.
The ghost sat on the ground with a blade of grass in his mouth, and listened to the little tiger boy Balabala with a smile on his face. As he spoke, he began to yawn.
"Uncle, the little tiger is so sleepy. ”
Oni Cry looked at the sun in the sky, and the sun had reached the west and began to touch the top of the mountain.
His heart moved, and he asked, "After the lower half of Xiaohuzi's body disappeared, did he see the moon?"
Xiaohuzi looked at the sky suspiciously, and said with a smile: "Uncle is so confused, the sky is not dark, where is the moon." ”
The ghost cried and asked, "Has the little tiger seen the snow today?"
"I've seen it!" Xiaohuzi smiled excitedly: "It snowed not long ago." ”
Devil Cry already understands what's going on, can't he see that it's dark? In this case, it won't be too late until it's dark!
Ghost Cry made a decision, took off the hat and put it on the top of Xiaohuzi's head: "Xiaohuzi, uncle will take you home." ”
"But the sun is so hot. Xiaohuzi looked at the sun and clearly felt fear.
"It doesn't matter, there's this thing. The ghost cried and pulled the hat on the little tiger's head.
Xiaohuzi touched the hat and praised with a smile: "Uncle is really smart." ”
Ghost Cry hugged him and walked towards the village, and the big black horse followed closely behind Ghost Cry. At the same time, a villager with a hoe came over, passed by the ghost cry, and shouted into the river, "Baby, eat." ”
The children in the river came ashore one after another, chattering for pants and clothes.
Back to the village, back to that yard.
Ghost Cry left the big black horse in the courtyard, walked into the hall, and put the little tiger on the bench.
Xiaohuzi touched the table and smiled happily: "Go home, go home!"
People are coming back one after another.
There were more than 20 people in total, several women hid in the kitchen, and a group of men surrounded the two tables.
There were obviously more ghosts crying and a child, and these people didn't care, didn't find a seat, and simply squatted aside.
The chopped mountain spirit was placed in two basins, and the table was served, and several women were served with dishes and chopsticks in turn. Ghost Cry took out two pairs of chopsticks, took two bowls, and placed them in front of himself and Xiaohuzi respectively.
"Eat!" said the ghost.
Xiaohuzi rubbed his eyes vigorously, with a smile on his face: "Uncle, I'm so sleepy." ”
"After eating and then going to sleep, today's noodles are very fragrant. "The ghost crying is obviously coaxing the ghost.
"Well, it's very fragrant. Xiaohuzi smiled happily, stirred in the empty bowl with chopsticks, and then rolled something hard, stuffed the empty chopsticks into his mouth, and his mouth bulged......
The other people, with the minced meat in the basin, ate hotly, and a few people, used blood as wine, drinking and punching fists, everything, all so happy.
It was dark, the table was full of messes, the women were holding the dishes and chopsticks, the ghost was crying and sitting on the bench, and beside him, the little tiger was gone.
"That's good. Ghost Cry had a smile on his face and seemed to have a fire burning in his eyes.
He's happy, he's angry.
The little child finally fulfilled his wish to go home for dinner, did not go to hell, nor was he in the world, and enjoyed eternal sleep.
"Sleep well, uncle......" Ghost Cry lowered his head, grabbed the hat on the bench and covered his head: "Get justice for you!"
