Chapter 288

Jing Shi is used to getting up early, although he couldn't sleep well all night, but seeing the light outside the window, he still left the bed on time.After the cock crowed three times, the bone bowl also slipped into the house from outside the village, just in time for Jing Shi to sit alone at the table writing.The two met and greeted each other.Gu'er Wan seemed very surprised, he jumped to the table and looked Jing Shi's face carefully before he asked suspiciously: "Jing Guan'er suffered from the cold last night?"

Jing Shi glanced at him and said, "How does this house compare to a cave?"

Gu'er Wan said: "I don't know that this place is better to shelter from the wind? But I saw that you slept in the cave the day before yesterday, but you were still alive and tender. Why did you sleep in this room all night, but your eyes were bruised?"

Jing Shi shook his head, but didn't answer him, he just took a fruit in his hand and threw it into a Gu'er bowl to eat.Seeing that Gu'erwan was eating, he immediately forgot about his chores and just yelled and played around.After a long commotion, he said to Jing Shi: "Jing Guaner, can I go to the warehouse again today?"

Jing Shi paused slightly when he heard the words, then put down his pen and said: "Go to the mountains today."

Gu'erwan was stunned and said, "It's snowing so heavily, why go to the mountains again?

Jing Shi was speechless, buried his head in packing his bags, and when he was about to go out, he called Gu'er Wan and said, "Today, let's go to the deep mountain to have a closer look."

When Gu'erwan heard the word "deep mountain", Mao's body stiffened immediately, and he jumped up and said anxiously: "I can't go! You are so clumsy from the mainland, and the mountains outside are just enough. How can you go into the deep mountains? There are so many caves and cliffs. There are many, and there are long strips, big cats, big bears, if there is an accident, how can I explain to the old man Huozhou?"

Jing Shi said: "I'm only going to take a look outside, not going in."

Gu'er Wan hugged him back, hung on his lap and stared, "I don't believe it."

Jing Shi didn't think that he was usually sloppy, but now he was shrewd, so he couldn't help it for a while.He had thought of it on the spur of the moment, before he had time to make a long-term plan, but seeing that Gu'erwan was very determined, he had no choice but to sit back in the room and say: "Since I can't go, you can tell me about the situation there."

Seeing that he didn't go, Gu'erwan was overjoyed immediately, jumped to the table and sat down and said, "It's fine if you don't go. I was bored when I was young, and I liked to go to the deep mountains to play. Although I went less, it was better than the village Those people know more. Jing Guaner, if you want to know what's going on inside, just ask." Then he described the situation in the mountain in detail.

The mountain area of ​​Hamusuoluo Island is gentle and dangerous inside, and there are no dangers in the surrounding mountains. Most of the Yan people live scatteredly. Only in the center of the island are several miles of peaks, secluded abyss and deep nostalgia, and there are fierce beasts, poisonous insects and ancient forests. He is strong and healthy, and dare not break into it easily, so he called it "deep mountain" for several miles.

Jingshi used to tour the mountains, although he was meticulous and comprehensive, he could almost cover the whole island, but he had never been to the deep mountains.It wasn't until the night before when I talked with Longji that I was thinking about it, so I asked Guerwan about it in detail.What I searched and inquired was not exotic flowers and plants, fierce birds and beasts, but only asked about the caves and crypts, and said: "Mr. Huo Zhou said earlier that the mountain beasts also live in the deep mountains, and they can't hide on weekdays. Hidden deep in the crypt. Do you know which crypt it is?"

Gu'erwan shook his head and said: "The land is full of caves, deep and winding, how do I know where the big guy lives? I usually only go through the trees and never go into the caves."

Jing Shi also knew that Yan Fake's human nature likes high mountains and lush forests, but dislikes cold and damp places.Hearing Guerwan's words, he was not disappointed, he just said: "Is there anyone on the island who is familiar with the situation in the mountains?"

Gu'er Wan said: "If you want to be more familiar than me, I'm afraid there is only Wuma." Hearing this, Jing Shi got up immediately and said, "Then go ask him."

At first, Jingshi knew about the beasts, so he wanted to go to Wuma to ask him, but he didn't meet him at the first visit, and later when Longji appeared again, he was inevitably confused, so he put this section aside.At this time, the old matter was brought up again, but there was an unknown depression in my heart. I didn't want to delay for a moment, and went out of the village and into the mountains, to the small building where Wuma lived.

At that time, the snow was heavy and the mountain road was difficult to walk. When the cliff was deep in the snow, there was also the danger of avalanche, so we often took a detour.After a lot of hard work, the two of them arrived in front of the Wuma Building in the evening, but they saw snow piled up more than a foot in front of the octagonal building, and there was no sign of people. They tried to knock on the door to call, but there was no response from the building.

The two came back to visit, but they were in vain. Now, after more than half a month, they still haven't seen Wu Ma returning home.Seeing this, Gu'erwan scratched his head and scratched his ears and said, "It's really evil. Since he is a death official, he always stays in the building on weekdays. He went to the seaside. It's only six or seven days at most. Why hasn't he returned?"

After seeing the snow in front of the gate, Jingshi thought back to the weather of the day before yesterday, made a rough estimate, and guessed that Wuma hadn't returned for a long time, at least ten days, so he felt very strange.After thinking about it, he asked Gu'er Wan: "It's been cold recently, maybe he's going to spend the winter somewhere else?"

Gu'erwan shook his head again and again and said: "No, no. That man has a very strange temper and never interacts with others. Even if he is short of food, he only borrows it from the old man Huo Zhou, and returns to his own building after borrowing it. I have known him for a hundred years, and I have never seen him go out for such a long time." Speaking of this, he scratched his head and rubbed his feet again, feeling very uneasy.

Seeing him like this, Jing Shi also felt ominous in his heart.At the moment, disregarding the trivial etiquette, he asked Gu'erwan to knock open the door of the building.When the two entered the house, they saw that there was no fire or candle in the house, and there was only one vat left, and there were three or two bunches of dried fruit hanging in the corner, which had been corrupted for a long time because they had not been properly placed.Try to call out, but if you don't hear Wuma answer, even the black pig has disappeared.

Seeing the scene in the building, the two felt that something had changed.Jing Shi immediately said to Gu'er Wan: "I'm afraid he had an accident in the mountains and he is not allowed to return. This matter is urgent, and it may change soon. You should go back to Zhongcun now, report to Mr. Fei Zhou, and gather people to go to the mountains to find him."

Seeing that something happened to Wuma, Gu'er Wan was also very anxious.He wanted to rush back to Zhongcun, but he was worried that Jingshi was a mainlander, so he didn't dare to leave him alone in the wild for the night.Seeing his expression, Jing Shi knew what he was thinking, so he said: "The matter is urgent. If I go with you, I'm afraid it will delay the time. You go back to Zhongcun first, and I will wait here tonight. Maybe Wuma just came back by chance. , is also unknown."

Hearing what he said, Gu'er Wan felt at ease, and after thinking about it again, he drew the wooden stick on his back and said to Jing Shi: "Since that's the case, I will go first. Near this building is the Wuma Residence." Ordinary wild animals dare not come here, Jing Guaner, you stay here overnight, don’t go out for a walk. If you encounter wild cats making trouble, use my stick to beat them.”

Hearing his words, Jing Shi couldn't laugh or cry, but seeing his fists and fists, he couldn't bear to touch each other, took the wooden stick and put it by the wall, saying: "Okay, I don't want to go out."

Gu'er Bowl was guaranteed by him, and finally he went out of the building door, jumped up to the top of the tree a few times, leaped through the forest and passed through the leaves.Jing Shi stood in front of the building, seeing that the sky was getting dark and the wind was blowing everywhere, he closed the door, hung up the broken bolt, and sat alone in the corner to rest.

He went out today for the purpose of inquiring about the matter. He was wearing very simple clothes, and he did not bring a book, pen or candle.Although thinking about the safety of Wuma, there is nothing else to do, so I can only lie on the ground, close my eyes and go to bed early, and sleep until I am unconscious.

It was Yemeng who was in a daze, and suddenly heard rustling outside the house, which lasted for a long time.In a daze, he got up close to the wall and peeped out through the crack of the wall, only to see that the moonlight was misty outside, and the damp mist was dense, and it was actually raining at night.There are layers of forests and mountains, all covered within the sky, like a foreign land in a trance.I also smelled a strange fragrance hidden in the rain, like wine, which made people drunk.

Jing Shi was staring at himself, when the door door slammed softly behind him, and the dark wind and cold rain hit his back.Looking around, I realized that there was a person coming in at the door, with a skirt and a cloud cape, and a beautiful face at the temples, vaguely it was Long Ji.

He was guarding against forest beasts, but Long Ji came suddenly, he wanted to stand up to meet him, but he felt dizzy, as if drunk and fascinated, he couldn't make any strength.Looking at Long Ji's appearance again, her clothes and skirts are completely wet, her temples are slanted, and her body still smells of rain, as if she just got out of the water bath.

Jing Shi was already dizzy, but when he saw this scene suddenly, he was even more suspicious of being in a dream, so he sat up in a daze and asked, "Why are you here?"

Longji smiled and said nothing, she moved her lotus steps lightly, and approached lightly, her feet looked like wet marks, and her bare feet were exposed, and her body was smudged, the jade texture was hidden, her cherry lips were exposed, her fragrance was floating darkly, and dark clouds fell on her neck , Condensing rain will drop.When he got close to Jingshi, he knelt down and bent his neck, and whispered in his ear: "It's raining today, so come here for shelter. Why does Ziyun look at each other like this?"

Jing Shi was so dazed that he was too dazed to answer, and wanted to ask a question, he stretched out his hand unconsciously, and grabbed some strands of Long Ji's wet hair.Hearing Long Ji's chuckle in her ears, exhaling like blue, she forgot about other things in her heart.But the people who watched Sisi untied their belts and picked up the pearls, and the clouds were placed on the ground, and the black waterfall fell to the mat.All over the room, only the shadow of jade is dazzling, shining brightly.Shangzi stared blankly at the person, suddenly soft snow fell into his arms, and the black hair touched his face, and he couldn't help embracing him for a blind date. For a while, the wet flowers shook and trembled, and the rings and pendants clashed continuously.The mind is blurred and blurred, like falling clouds in the sky.

He was distracted and insane, so he pushed himself down Yushan, turned over, stretched out his arms to grab his shoulders, but he was thrown in vain.Startled and opened his eyes, but saw the dark room, the shabby house, cold and quiet, only then did he realize that it was a wild dream.

Jing Shi suddenly woke up from a startling dream, he sat up abruptly, only felt his heart beating like a drum, his headache was about to split, and his chest was extremely terrified.He struggled to breathe for a long time, but the pain was still unbearable. He covered his face and coughed several times, and his mouth and nose were bleeding to the touch, and his color was as dark as ink.

Seeing this situation, he knew that he was in poor health, and wanted to call Gu'er Wan to come, but then he thought about where he got up.I also recalled the strange dream the night before, and felt even more disturbed and confused.Sitting in the same place for a while, finally managed to get up, grabbed the wooden stick by the wall, leaned on the stick and walked out the door.But looking at the snow outside the building, there is silver dust everywhere, and there is no trace of rain.

Jingshi is cleaned and cleaned on weekdays, or boiled with snow water, or picked from a bone bowl, and there is rarely a shortage.But now that the Gu'er bowl has gone, he is weak and weak, he doesn't care about it for a while, he just picks up the fresh snow on the ground, rubs his hands and face a few times, and then he feels refreshed.

He was about to return to the Wuma Tower, when a red cloud suddenly flew out of the sky, and landed in front of him in a blink of an eye.Jing Shi took a closer look at the person, and saw that his red shirt was curled up, his feet were bare, his shoulders were bare, his eyebrows were frosty and evil, it was Hong Hu, the attendant of the shrine under Long Ji's seat.

Seeing that the person who came was not Long Ji, Jing Shi felt relieved, and immediately endured a headache and chest pain, bowed and saluted: "Master Honghu."

Hong Hu put one hand on her waist, turned sideways, and responded in a cold voice: "Mr. Jing Lang, you don't need to be too polite. It's been cold and snowy recently, why did you stay in the mountains alone?"

Jing Shi said: "It happened by accident, because one person was lost on my island. I will send my companion back to the village to ask for help, so I will stay here to wait for you."

After hearing what he said, Hong Hu gave a faint answer, as if she didn't feel relieved at all.Slanted eyes glanced at Jing Shi's face, and asked: "Mr. Jing's complexion is not good, but is he feeling unwell?"

Jing Shi said: "It's just a bit of wind and cold last night."

Hong Hu said again: "Then recently, have you encountered any dangerous situations?"

Jing Shi shook his head and said: "Never. Why did the real person ask this question?"

Hong Hu looked at the mountain from a distance and said: "There is no one else. There was a change in the sea last night, and my mother went out to the town, and it took a few days before she came back. Before I left, I asked my waiter to take care of the test babies on the island. Since I was ordered by my mother, I will not Call Mr. Jing Lang to have an accident."

Jing Shi heard what she said, although he said that he took care of himself, his tone was extremely cold, as if he was hoping for something to happen to him.When he met Hong Hu for the first time, he really didn't know why the other party hated him so much, and he couldn't understand why.But Nian Qi was under Long Ji's seat, after all, he didn't want to offend, so he still responded politely: "Thank you so much, Daoist."

Hong Hu said: "There is no need to thank each other because of the duty. If Mr. Jing Lang wants to repay, he should not worry about it." After saying that, he stepped on the cloud and walked away, without even looking at him for a long time.

Jing Shi saw that she came and went as soon as she said, and was speechless for a while.But because of the strange dream he had last night, even though he was only thinking wildly, it is inevitable that he felt guilty, seeing that Honghu didn't notice, he breathed a sigh of relief after all.After washing my face and hands, I went back to Wuma Building, looked carefully at every corner, but I couldn't find any clues. Instead, I felt more and more tired, so I sat against the corner to rest, half awake.After resting like this for half a day, suddenly there was a loud bang on the door of the room, it was the Gu Er Wan who broke in through the door, with a panicked face, seeing Jing Shi sitting in the corner, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him like this, Jing Shi knew that things would change, and he was about to ask each other, but he saw Gu Erwan jumped into his arms and shouted: "Jing Guaner, Wu Ma was killed!"
