Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 9 Duanmu Chen

Looking out from the main room, Duan Muzheng watched the two children carrying medicine baskets out of the courtyard door, his eyes flickered, then he looked up at the distant building that stood out from the crowd amidst the ups and downs. highest mountain.

The Duanmutian brothers and sisters walked from the back of the village after leaving the house, along the winding stone path, and soon came to the foot of the mountain, and saw Wang Tong, who was digging crabs with his trousers rolled up in the creek at the foot of the mountain. , with him were two other children of about the same age, both children of villagers from the same village.

Wang Tong also saw them, and immediately ran over with trembling white meat, and said with a smile: "You guys are going to collect herbs on the mountain! Alas, you are very good, and you can know so many herbs. Weeds trampled to death."

"……Are you alright?"

"Shouldn't we catch crabs together? There are so many crabs now, and they are big and fat. Take them home and boil them in clean water. They taste delicious when dipped in vinegar."

"..."

"Eh?" Seeing the blank expressions of the brothers and sisters, he was a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, and suddenly felt embarrassed, "Yesterday...that, what happened yesterday..."

"You want to settle accounts with us for your father?"

"Huh? No...no!"

"That's good, we still have something to do, so we won't chat with you here." After speaking, Duanmu Tian pulled his elder brother and turned around Wang Tong and walked up the mountain.

Wang Tong stood still and watched their leaving backs. He was stunned, and then finally came to his senses. Immediately, he couldn't help jumping, pointing at the two people's backs and shouting angrily: "Damn girl, what's your attitude?" ? Thanks to my lord, I still want to have a bad time with you because of what happened yesterday, bah, you bastard!"

After the scolding, he looked around subconsciously, he was relieved when he didn't see anyone who would suddenly slap him, and then he went back to the creek to continue digging crabs, moaning and cursing.

Duanmu Tian and his elder brother went into the mountain together, neither of them intended to stay longer outside the foot of the mountain, they went directly to the place where Duanmu Jing said earlier that he set up traps.

He said it was a trap, but in fact the chain of traps was arranged quite insidiously and cunningly. If any creature entered that range, it would be almost impossible to escape safely. The villagers accidentally stepped into the trap, and he made a special reminder outside.

From a distance, he saw that the trap had been activated, and he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said to Duanmu Tian with a smile: "Sister, it seems that we can eat fresh meat today."

Duanmu Tian nodded his head, and he also looked forward to it a little bit. He couldn't help but quicken his steps and entered the range of the trap.

The trap had indeed been touched, and it moved from head to tail quite neatly and neatly. It seemed that a very powerful beast stepped into the trap.

Duanmujing walked directly to the trap in the last ring, looked down but was suddenly stunned, even the smile on the corner of his mouth and brow froze on his face on the spot, then Shi Shiran turned around and carefully checked the trap in front.

Judging from his reaction, he knew that the prey must have run away, which surprised Duanmu Tian. He turned his head and looked carefully at every ring of traps. At the same time, Duanmujing also found out and stretched out his hand over there.

"what is this?"

"Looks like fragments of clothing fabric."

"How can there be such a thing here?"

"Could it be that the one who broke into the trap was not a beast, but a person?"

"Who is so stupid to step in here? Could it be that he was blind and didn't see the warning outside? Even an illiterate who can't read a single word should understand the meaning of the pattern."

"It's really unlucky, but forget it, when I restore the trap, I can always hunt again. There are quite a few animals in this area. I just don't know if the person accidentally broke into this place and was not injured."

"You deserve it if you get hurt!"

"..."

At the mountain spring not far from them, someone untied the cloth wrapped around his arm, washed the wound with clear spring water, smeared some grass juice randomly, and then bandaged it again.Afterwards, he bent down and wiped his face with spring water with one hand, and was about to stand up, but a subconscious movement of raising his hand to his knee accidentally involved the wound on his arm, which made him stiff and twitched lightly. in one breath.

He looked down at the injured arm with a gloomy face, and whispered with the corner of his mouth: "Damn it is really unlucky! It's best not to let me know who set up such an insidious serial trap, otherwise He must be skinned, dismantled, and then braised and fed to the dogs! Isn’t it just hunting a wild beast? And the most common ones around here are rabbits!”

After muttering, he stood up slowly, and finally his whole body was fully revealed, only to realize that he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with red lips, white teeth, and delicate features. At first glance, he really looked like a little white rabbit. smell.

He stood there and looked around, with a half-slumped face, sighed quietly, and said to himself: "The world is so big, and now the mountains and fields are vast, where should I find the trace of the elder brother? Duanmuchen Duanmuchen, if you can't find your eldest brother and bring him back, you can wait to be skinned and boned, then braised and fed to the dogs!"

However, even though he said that, his actions almost ran counter to his expression.

After looking around for a while, he jumped onto a flat stone next to him with a "shua", and then lay down there, admiring the small sky above his head with his eyes wide open, and hummed while swinging his legs. An unknown song.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps faintly came from the surrounding woods, as well as a few whispers from time to time.

"Sister, the trap has been re-arranged. This time, no one should break in. Let's come back tomorrow and have a look. There are still many animals around here."

"Ah."

"Then let's go there now. When I went to the town a few days ago, I saw a lot of vine pear rhizomes being purchased in the drugstore. I remember that we picked vine pear fruit there two months ago."

"Ok!"

The relationship between the siblings has always been like this. Duanmujing has a gentle temperament, and usually doesn't talk much, but he can't help but chatter a little in front of his sister. He can't be blamed for this, really!It's really because his sister talked too little, too little, in ordinary, ordinary, and not particularly interesting situations.

At this moment, he said so much, but she only responded to him with a single tone, telling him that she was listening to him.
