Chapter 41 Chapter Forty-One Taking Refuge in the Cellar

Turning to the back door, you have to pass through a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is gloomy, and the hands of the three women are involuntarily pulled together.His hands were cold, but his palms were wet with cold sweat. Grandma Yao's back door was actually ajar. Fifth Aunt stopped and asked Granny Yao: "Grandma Yao, is your back door always open?" Grandma Yao was also not sure, she was stunned for a while, and said, "I don't know either. I haven't opened the back door today." Fifth Aunt immediately said, "Oops! The goblin woman must have slipped through the back door."

As soon as the fifth aunt said the words, both mother-in-law and seventh aunt couldn't help but looked around.The bamboo forest was quiet, without any movement. Seventh Aunt panicked and said, "Since the goblin has left through the back door, let's go into the house and look for the ex-wazi. Maybe the goblin lady is hiding somewhere in the bamboo forest and I don't even know." Aunt Seven's words reminded Aunt Fifth and Granny Yao, and the three women hurriedly filed into the house, and slammed the back door tightly shut. And in a sweet potato cellar in the bamboo forest, Bai Xiaoyang and Chunqian hugged each other.

Chunqian was embraced by Bai Xiaoyang on his chest.Chunqian looked at Bai Xiaoyang's fair face with a pair of innocent eyes.In front of them, coiled a little hibernating snake.The whole body of this snake is fiery red, and there is a small fleshy crown faintly growing on the small and pointed snake head. Bai Xiaoyang and Chunqian did not disturb the little snake.The little snake hibernates quietly. Bai Xiaoyang and Chunqian who were hiding in the sweet potato cellar could hear clearly what Aunt Five and the others said tremblingly in the bamboo forest.When Fifth Aunt and the others entered the house and slammed the door shut, Chunqian asked Bai Xiaoyang in a low voice, "Sister, are you a goblin?"

Bai Xiaoyang looked down at Chunqian, did not answer Chunqian's words, but asked Chunqian: "Little brother, are you cold?" Before the spring, he was very thinly dressed, with only a small padded jacket made from an old-fashioned padded robe on his upper body, and there was not even a jacket underneath.Two of the cloth buttons on the chest of the padded jacket were broken, and the waist was tied with a basket rope, and the lower body was only wearing a pair of khaki cloth trousers, which were also altered by adults. Chunqian was shivering in Bai Xiaoyang's arms, but he shook his head at Bai Xiaoyang.

Bai Xiaoyang hugged Chunqian to his chest again, and said, "Chunqian, are you really not afraid of your sister?" Chunqian nodded obediently again. At this time, Bai Xiaoyang made a gesture to keep silent towards Chunqian, and at the same time she and Chunqian heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from above the sweet potato cellar... Although the footsteps on the sweet potato cellar were slight, Bai Xiaoyang's nerves were extremely sensitive at this time. Even if there was an extremely slight tremor in the air, she could still feel it. Chunqian in his arms looked at Bai Xiaoyang with a pair of clear and transparent eyes, and nodded sensiblely.

It was not the footsteps of one person, but the footsteps of three, four or five people, although very light, but chaotic. Chunqian pressed her head closer to Bai Xiaoyang's chest.He heard Bai Xiaoyang's heart beating gently, and the steady rhythm and rhythm made his young heart feel calm and at ease. The sound of footsteps stepped on the top of the sweet potato cellar, and there was a shock of soil debris falling from the cellar mouth. Bai Xiaoyang looked at the entrance of the cellar vigilantly. At this time, an obscene thin face appeared at the entrance of the cellar, and a pair of furtive eyes looked into the sweet potato cellar.

Chunqian in his arms shivered nervously.Bai Xiaoyang was afraid that Chunqian would cry out in surprise, so he hurriedly covered Chunqian's mouth with his hand. Bai Xiaoyang and Chunqian were sitting against the wall of the sweet potato cellar, the opening of the cellar was also small, they were hidden in the dark shadows, it was not easy to spot them from above. The person who appeared at the entrance of the cellar lowered his voice and spoke in a ghostly voice: "Secretary, is there someone hiding in this sweet potato cellar?" Someone said "hmm", stopped, and said, "Who is hiding?"

"Master Zhang Yao! Will he know that we are coming to arrest him and hide us in the sweet potato cellar?" It was Feng Danzi and the others who came. After hearing what the man said, Feng Danzi also stretched out his shiny head to the mouth of the cellar and looked down.It was indeed dark in the sweet potato cellar, and Feng Danzi also did not find Bai Xiaoyang and Chunqian hiding at the bottom of the cellar. "Master Zhang is not so melodious! Even if you hide, you should hide far away. There are man caves everywhere in Wo Niu Mountain. If you want to hide, you have to hide in man caves. Is it a hammer to hide this sweet potato cellar? If I really find out , won’t be caught by Lao Tzu’s urn? Hehe…”

Feng Danzi actually laughed out loud on top. Hearing what Feng Danzi said made sense, the man left the cellar door with an obscene face, and said, "Why do I feel that the village is full of ghosts today? Why doesn't it have the air of a living person?" Feng Danzi said: "It must be that these counter-revolutionaries are going to confront Lao Tzu and hide Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng." The man said again: "It's enough to hide Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng. Why do I feel that there is no one in this village? Maybe they are all hidden? We don't want to hide everyone, men and women, old and young. If you are caught, do you have to go and hide? Such a big village is so quiet, it makes us feel like devils have entered the village."

When Feng Danzi heard this, he kicked at that person, and cursed in a low voice: "Be careful with your stupid words! What kind of devil came into the village? Is this man a Japanese? You have a yellow accent, believe it or not, I will deal with you!" Dog Day's study class?" The man didn't dare to respond immediately. At this moment, another voice said: "Why don't you say it's the spirituality of the secretary's head? It's right for us to turn back halfway and sneak in through the back door to catch Zhang Yaoye. Maybe Zhang Yaoye is really hiding at home these days. .”

It was Wu Zhangkui who spoke. Feng Danzi said to Wu Zhangkui: "Now take two people around to guard the gate to prevent Mr. Zhang Yao from jumping over the wall and escaping from the front door. We will go in from the back door and arrest him in a while!" Wu Zhangkui took the order and took two people around to the front gate. Bai Xiaoyang, who was hiding in the sweet potato cellar, didn't understand the ins and outs of what Feng Danzi said, and looked at the cellar with a confused expression on his face. Why is someone going to arrest Master Zhang Yao and Zhang Ziheng again?Bai Xiaoyang didn't understand. But Feng Danzi and the others didn't go any further above the sweet potato cellar, but stood under a bamboo cage, waiting for the two people brought by Wu Zhangkui to outflank them, and then went in to arrest them. Someone stomped their feet in the cold, and two small loose stones on the pit mouth were shaken down, one of which just hit the coiled little snake.The little snake's body trembled, the head coiled inside the body lifted up, the thin core tentatively stretched and contracted a few times through the tiny gap in the mouth, and the meat crown on the head seemed to swell a bit. Bai Xiaoyang's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt that the meat crown on the head of this little snake was somewhat similar to the meat crown on the head of the giant python in Zhaoxia Temple. Could this little snake be the young snake of that giant python?But the giant python that appeared in Zhaoxia Temple was blue and black, but this little snake was fiery red, obviously not the same species. A doubt arose in Bai Xiaoyang's heart. Driven by curiosity, she searched for a rotten bamboo branch from the ground, and wanted to pick up the little snake's body for a closer look...
