Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Fire can make earth

In the huge pit, there was darkness, and you couldn't see your fingers.The lobby of the Luoma Inn, which fell into the pit, lay quietly at the bottom of the pit, not falling to pieces, but still very neat.It is strange that a house of bricks, tiles and wooden beams can still be kept intact after falling so rapidly. Yan Jingtian stood up slowly, waved the miasma in front of him, shook his head, and shouted: "Shou Zhen, Shou Yi, Shou Ren, are you there?" Someone coughed a few times in the dark, got up from the ground, and cursed loudly: "Fuck their eight times ancestors! Almost fell to death! Master Yan, I'm here! It's okay!"

Yan Jingtian felt relieved when he heard that it was Yan Shouzhen, and continued to shout: "Shouzhen, don't move yet, wait until I find out the situation around me!" Another person shouted in the darkness: "Master Yan, are you all okay!" Yan Shouzhen shouted: "Shouren! We are all fine! Are you okay?" Yan Shouren replied, "It's okay!" Someone in the corner whispered: "Master Yan, I'm fine, but... my leg may be broken." This was Yan Shouyi's voice. Yan Shouzhen scolded: "It's alright with a broken leg? You're a piece of wood!"

Yan Jingtian said: "Everyone is still alive, very good! Don't act rashly! This should be a giant pit to kill elephants. We have already fallen to the bottom of the pit, and there may be a poisonous stabbing mechanism." Everyone agreed, Yan Jingtian raised his breath and calmed down, collected his five senses, walked slowly, and soon found Yan Shouyi's position.At this time, the dust slowly settled down, and a faint light penetrated into the room, and Yan Jingtian could see the situation in the room clearly. The room was in a mess as if it had been blown by a hurricane, the ground was broken into pieces, uneven, and covered with a layer of debris.The doors and windows of the house are tightly attached to the cave wall and have been blocked.

Yan Jingtian came to Yan Shouyi's side, touched Yan Shouyi's leg, and found that the calf bone had been broken. Yan Shouyi didn't complain of pain, but said, "When I fell, my foot got stuck in the ground and it broke." Yan Jingtian pressed Yan Shouyi's calf with both hands, probed the injury, and said in a low voice: "Hold it!" With a strong wrist, he straightened his calf with a click.Yan Shouyi only snorted slightly.Yan Jingtian touched two stool legs from his side, tore off the cloth strips from his clothes, and tied them up for Yan Shouyi. Yan Jingtian tied and said, "Shouyi, if you are in severe pain, just call out."

Yan Shouyi muffled: "It's just a pain, I can bear it." Yan Shouzhen scolded not far away: "Shouyi, you idiot! You just love to show off!" Yan Shouzhen, this guy, never forgets to run Yan Shouyi, but at this moment, Yan Jingtian feels a little at ease. Yan Shouyi raised his head and said, "Who is an idiot! If you can hold back, it won't hurt so much!" Yan Jingtian didn't speak, and sighed secretly: "Fortunately! There are no poisonous thorns and rotten water in this pit, otherwise, if you fall like this, you may not survive." Yan Jingtian tied the wooden sticks for Yan Shouyi, stood up and probed around again, then called Yan Shouzhen and Yan Shouren to come over, lifted Yan Shouyi up, tidied up a small open space, and the four of them gathered together.

Except for Yan Shouyi who broke a leg, the other three suffered some skin trauma and were fine.Yan Jingtian looked up at the roof, and saw that several wooden beams supporting the roof had been skewed, and all the wooden eaves had fallen off. Even so, the roof was not torn apart, only a dozen or so holes were broken, and some light came out from the holes. Can't see what's outside.Yan Jingtian ordered Yan Shouren: "Shouren, you can climb up to see if the roof can be opened, we can climb up along the pit wall." Yan Shouren complied, climbed up to the roof after a few turns, and beat the hole with his hands, knocking down several bricks and tiles, the brighter the light.But Yan Shouren reached up again, and suddenly felt an iron bar nearly two fingers thick, which seemed to be buried in the roof.Yan Shouren yelled: "Master Yan, there is something wrong with the roof of this house! There are iron bars inside!"

As soon as Yan Shouren finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the roof, as if something had been knocked down.Yan Shouren was shocked and jumped off the roof.Everyone was waiting in full battle, looking up at the roof, not knowing what happened.They really didn't know that this was the first body left by Jia Chunzi. After a while, there was only a muffled groan, and another object fell from the roof, and the broken pieces of the roof fell down one after another. After that, a low moan was heard, and soon there was no more sound.This was the second person Jia Chunzi broke his arm and threw into the pit. This person woke up slightly when he fell, hit the roof and survived, barely groaned twice before dying.

Yan Shouren was startled and said, "It's a person?" Everyone looked at each other, feeling very strange, why did such a big object fall with such a loud force, that the roof hadn't been smashed through yet? Then they waited for a while, and there was no more movement, but they all smelled the pungent smell of blood. Yan Jingtian frowned, and silently waved to Yan Shouren, and the two climbed up to the roof, looking for the place where the loud noise was coming from.It was soon determined that the two objects that fell from the roof were the two corpses.Yan Jingtian widened the hole made by the corpse, and sure enough, he saw rows of iron bars, densely arranged at a distance of a punch.Such an iron net cannot be dropped by a natural person.

Yan Jingtian said in a deep voice: "Could it be that this room is just a huge iron cage?" Yan Shouren said in shock: "Iron cage? Are these iron bars..." Yan Jingtian nodded, and said: "It is very likely that all the houses above the mouth of the giant pit formation in the Luoma Inn are made of iron cages, and the walls and wooden beams we see are all pasted on iron bars for appearance. If it falls into the pit with the house, it's like blocking the opening of the iron cage." Yan Shouren said, "Isn't that just a trap specially set up to catch people?"

Yan Jingtian said: "It is indeed impossible to guard against!" Yan Jingtian turned down from the roof, went to the door, kicked down the wooden door frame, and found a very thick iron bar.Yan Jingtian sighed: "This is terrible!" He reached out to touch the cave wall outside the door.There was a layer of sticky asphalt on the wall of the cave, and the soil covered under the asphalt was extremely hard. Yan Jingtian pulled his fingers vigorously, but only a very small piece was removed. Yan Shouzhen came over and asked, "Hallmaster Yan, can this wall be dug out? I will dig out a section with four pieces of gold, and the roof should be able to be dug out from the outside."

Yan Jingtian said: "The wall of this cave is made of a layer of asphalt, lime and crushed stone. There are some asphalt roads in Fengtian City, which are poured in this way. The hardness is extremely high. It is not a common masonry wall Hehe, it seems that the people who made this huge pit array thought very carefully, and they will definitely trap people at the bottom of the pit! Even if we dig, we don’t have any tools, and we only rely on four gold pieces. One day's effort can dig out at most one person's height." Yan Shou was shocked and said: "What a bastard, it takes such effort to make such a cesspit!" Yan Shouzhen said the cesspit son, but felt that it was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words: "What cesspit, it is a stinky pit, no, grandma's, a rotten pit... ..." Yan Jingtian interrupted Yan Shouzhen, and said: "Needless to say, this kind of pit was probably left by people from the Qiandilong lineage in the north ten years ago. I think the shopkeeper of the Luoma Inn must be the same as Qiandilong." There is an extremely deep origin, he must have known something, activated the giant pit formation, trapped us in the pit, and waited for someone to catch us!" Yan Shouren also came over and said, "Master Yan, then we can't just wait for someone to catch us below! We can't dig the wall, we can see if we can break the iron bar!" Yan Jingtian said: "Shouzhen, Shouren, you two, quickly check this room to see if there are any loopholes! Now that the enemy is in the dark, we can see, I don't know what else they will do!" Yan Shouzhen and Yan Shouren were about to leave in response, Yan Shouzhen suddenly thought of Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yaoer, turned around and said, "I don't know how Shui Yaoer and Huo Xiaoxie are doing now?" Yan Jingtian said: "As long as Shui Yaoer doesn't fall into the pit, with her ability, it's not a problem to escape from this area. Huo Xiaoxie is bound in the house, and I'm afraid it will be the same as us!" Yan Shouzhen said displeased: "Originally we could go and return quickly, but we met this weird water monster. It's not good to steal anything, but we want to steal Zhang Si's things, and we are taking her on the road together, which will cause trouble." thing!" Yan Jingtian said angrily: "Shou Zhen, I'm warning you for the last time, if you say such bastard words again, the Huo family will pull out your tongue!" Yan Shouzhen hurriedly said: "Don't dare! Don't dare..." He jumped away and groped along the wall.At this time, the dust had dispersed, and the light coming in from the mouth of the pit was sufficient, and the room was also bright. Yan Jingtian sighed slightly, not idle, climbed up to the roof, and checked. The three of them searched carefully for a while, and then heard someone shouting from the roof, and a voice came in: "The brothers of the Yan family! Are they still alive?" The voice buzzed in the pit, echoing endlessly. When Yan Jingtian and the others heard this, they all tensed up, stopped their work one after another, and gathered together. Yan Shouzhen scolded in a low voice: "Master Yan! Someone is here!" Yan Shouren also said, "What should I do? I'll go up and shoot them down with Qi Zhang Cannon!" Yan Jingtian said: "Don't move! We are in a dangerous situation now, and our future is uncertain, so stabilize them first." The people outside the roof shouted again: "Brothers of the Yan family, I know you are still alive! With your skills, this thing is not fatal! Don't pretend to be dead! Answer!" It seems to be Zhao Yanqiang's accent. Yan Shouzhen said angrily in a low voice, "Your ancestor just pretended to be dead!" Yan Jingtian said: "Don't talk, I'll come!" Yan Jingtian raised his head and shouted loudly: "Brothers outside! You are right, we are still alive!" Zhao Yanqiang lay on the edge of the cave, looked down the cave, and could clearly see the roof.Upon hearing Yan Jingtian's reply, Zhao Yanqiang turned around and said to Zheng Dachuan and Shopkeeper Qian behind him, "They're still alive!" Zheng Dachuan said: "Keep shouting, tell them to stay calm as I said just now!" Zhao Yanqiang lowered his head and continued to shout into the pit: "Brother Yan! I am a friend who fought against you just now! I am a letter dart! I will not forget it!" "No! Remember clearly!" Yan Jingtian in the pit replied. "Brothers! Stay inside, don't move around, and don't think of any way to escape! You will never escape! We have no enmity with you, but you are the ones Mr. Zhang wants to arrest. Wait Fourth Master Zhang has arrived, and everything is up to him! You just stay calm, and we promise not to hurt your lives!" Zhao Yanqiang spoke with a sharp tongue, and he spoke very clearly. Yan Jingtian was silent for a moment, then raised his head and shouted: "Dare to ask, did the man and a woman who came with us also fall into your hands?" "Haha, thanks to you, the two of them are also resting in the pit! Don't worry, as long as you don't move around, we promise not to touch a single hair of them! Everything will wait for Fourth Master Zhang to arrive here!" Zhao Smoker has no shame in telling nonsense, and is justified. Yan Shouzhen was very irritable next to Yan Jingtian, and said in a low voice: "Master Yan! I can't help it! Don't listen to them, let's saw the iron bars, and I will go up and kill them! Save the water monster and the others!" Yan Jingtian didn't answer Yan Shouzhen's words, but still raised his head and shouted: "Then I will listen to you!" "I'm not talking to scare you! Don't try to stabilize us, think of tricks again! As long as you dare to dig walls, saw iron bars or other things, I will throw the fire, and you will keep it and burn it into coke! Besides! , that chick and brat are in our hands, if you move around, we will kill them first!" "Brothers in the pit, don't worry! Since I said it, I will never mess around!" "That's good! You can think about it yourself!" After Zhao Yanqiang finished shouting, he got up from the ground, wiped off his sweat, and said to Zheng Dachuan and Shopkeeper Qian: "I have said everything that needs to be said! I think they should be honest." Zheng Dachuan snorted to Shopkeeper Qian: "Dive Rat, when will you notify Fourth Master Zhang?" Shopkeeper Qian smiled slightly, and said, "Zheng Dachuan, you should call me Shopkeeper Qian or Old Man Qian. I haven't heard the nickname Diving Mouse for ten years. It's very awkward." Shopkeeper Qian turned around and lifted a birdcage on the ground, grabbed the carrier pigeon from it, tied a piece of paper around the pigeon's ankle, touched the pigeon's feathers, and stretched his hands in the air, the carrier pigeon fluttered and spread its wings high. , Flying far away in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black dot and disappeared into the air. Shopkeeper Qian looked at the sky, and said leisurely: "No later than noon tomorrow, Fourth Master Zhang will definitely arrive!" Zheng Dachuan snorted, "Fourth Master Zhang's horsepower is probably faster than this!" Shopkeeper Qian said: "Zheng Dachuan, let's cooperate sincerely during this time, watch this place carefully, and don't let them run away!" Zheng Dachuan snorted: "Of course! Do you think that I, Zheng Dachuan, do not keep my word?" The two walked away a few steps, and there were people running over on both sides, one was Jia Chunzi, and the other was Zheng Dachuan's subordinates. Jia Chunzi said, "There is no one in the room where they live!" Zheng Dachuan's subordinates reported: "There is no one in the other pits." Shopkeeper Qian frowned, and said, "Investigate carefully! If two escape, it will be very troublesome! I'm afraid something will happen!" Jia Chunzi responded, turned around and ran again.Zheng Dachuan's people didn't listen to the order of shopkeeper Qian and stood still. Zheng Dachuan said: "Old thief Qian, according to your description, what can a little girl do with a little brat and a kid with no skills? What Zhang Siye wants must be those four powerful guys in the pit." Shopkeeper Qian snorted softly and said, "If it's what you want, that's fine!" Zheng Dachuan was taken aback, and said: "What? Zhang Siye still has a crush on that little girl? Want to marry this little girl as a concubine? A little girl, Zhang Siye can't use so much energy!" Shopkeeper Qian said, "We're not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, don't you think?" Zheng Dachuan thought about it for a while, and said to his subordinates: "You! Continue to lead people to investigate! Don't just yell at the bottom, you want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die! If you can't, just hang the rope and go down to have a look!" The subordinates responded quickly and ran away quickly.Zheng Dachuan thought in his heart: "Old thief Qian, whether you can find them or not, I will definitely kill you before Fourth Master Zhang comes!" Zheng Dachuan said: "Zhao Yanqiang, you go too! Keep an eye on me!" Zhao Yanqiang also hurriedly agreed, and ran to the side. Shopkeeper Qian said: "Okay! Then the two of us will sit by the pit and guard the four treasures in the pit." Zheng Dachuan smiled and said, "Okay!" Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yao'er observed on the hillside for a long time, seeing Zheng Dachuan and shopkeeper Qian busy below, searching around, and finally gathered in the yard to discuss. Huo Xiaoxie said: "Looking at their appearance, they may be looking for us." The water demon replied: "They are not in a panic, Yan Jingtian must be trapped and unable to get out. It's really strange, even if they fell into the pit together with the house, Yan Jingtian and the others shouldn't be unable to climb up. Are they dead?" Huo Xiaoxie was startled: "No, no, they must just be trapped..." Huo Xiaoxie said this, but his chest still felt a tingling pain. Shui Yaoer said: "If Yan Jingtian and the others can't escape, we can't save them either. We can't stay here for long. If they catch us, it will be even worse! Let's go!" Huo Xiaoxie said in shock: "Let's go? Don't save them?" Shui Yaoer said coldly: "Save? How? Do the Huo family still need us to save? Wouldn't it be more trouble if we went to save them? Don't you want to go down and kill them all? Have you seen the two fellows of Shopkeeper Qian? Do you think you can kill them? Anyway, I don't kill people." Huo Xiaoxie said angrily: "Why are you so heartless? Brother Yan and the others took you on the road to take care of you, and Fourth Master Zhang wanted to arrest you, not Brother Yan and the others! How could you refuse to save him? " The water demon said coldly: "That's right! Zhang Si wants to arrest me! Yan Jingtian and the others are guests of the Huo family and Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Si doesn't have the guts to offend them! The Linglong Mirror is with me, not in the hands of the Huo family! You know What? If you want to go, follow me, if not, I will go by myself!" Huo Xiaoxie stared at Shui Yaoer, and said word by word: "My name is Huo Xiaoxie. Although I am not from the Huo family and have no skills, there is a word "Huo" in my name! Brother Yan and their lives are mine. Fate! You go! Water and fire are hard to tolerate!" Shui Yaoer snorted coldly, twisted her body, dodged behind the boulder, her figure swayed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Huo Xiaoxie felt melancholy, sighed, turned around, lay down beside the boulder, and continued to observe the movement below. Huo Xiaoxie looked at the deep pit and said to himself, "How could Brother Yan be trapped? How could it be?" Huo Xiaoxie suddenly remembered something: "The house that fell into the pit, is it an iron cage? Is there really such a big iron cage? Well... there must be. With such a big pit, there must be such a big iron cage!" Huo Xiaoxie scratched his head, and said again: "Isn't the bird just trapped in a cage?" "Why do you think so?" Someone suddenly spoke behind Huo Xiaoxie. This sentence made Huo Xiaoxie's seven souls fly away and three souls flew away. The cold water monster crouched on a rock behind her. Shui Yao'er said disdainfully: "With your courage, how can you still save people?" Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "Hey, I can't save people, but I can steal people!" The water monster frowned: "Steal someone?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "I've seen some cats steal birds by dropping the cage on the ground and pushing the bottom of the cage away." Water Monster said: "You mean you want to steal people from the ground?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Yes, I have been a thief since I was a child, but I just know how to steal. Cats steal birds, and we steal people." Shui Yaoer was silent for a moment, her face as cold as an iceberg suddenly turned into a smile, and she hugged Huo Xiaoxie's neck with great force.Huo Xiaoxie was a head taller than Shui Yaoer, but she was still pushed down by Shui Yaoer, with her head held under her armpit by Shui Yaoer. The water monster smiled and said: "Monkey! Monkey! You are quite smart! It's fun to steal Brother Yan and the others! I just like to play!" Huo Xiaoxie pressed half of her face against Shui Yao'er's chest, feeling soft.Huo Xiaoxie was already sixteen or seventeen years old, so he naturally knew what this soft thing was, his face turned red, and he said in embarrassment: "Water monster, you, let go..." The water demon didn't feel anything wrong, let go of Huo Xiaoxie's yelling, knocked Huo Xiaoxie on the head, let go of his arm, sat on the side, and said with a smile: "Then let's steal people, ah, what stealing?" People, they are stealing brother Yan and the four men. Huh, you stinky monkey, thief monkey, rogue monkey, how did you come up with the word stealing!" Seeing Shui Yaoer like this, Huo Xiaoxie didn't know whether to hate her or love her, but when she thought of Shui Yaoer leaving him alone, she felt very depressed, so she didn't answer Shui Yaoer, but asked coldly: "You Why are you back again? Don't you want to go by yourself?" Shui Yaoer giggled and said: "The Shui family will have an idea for a while, do you care? I just came back, what's wrong with you? I'm mad at you, mad at you! Make your monkey's butt red with anger!" Huo Xiaoxie slapped his forehead, and lost his temper with the water monster.Huo Xiaoxie is an open-minded person, as long as he doesn't push him into a desperate situation, he won't hold grudges too much. Talking back to Shopkeeper Qian and Zheng Dachuan, they sent people to search, but they did not find Shui Yaoer and Huo Xiaoxie in the pit. After discussing together, Zheng Dachuan led his men to search for them on the hillside in the backyard. , leaving Zhao Yanqiang, shopkeeper Qian, Jia Chunzi, and Jia Qingzi to continue guarding the entrance of Yan Jingtian and the others. Zheng Dachuan and the others found the place where Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yaoer used to stay, and soon found a table that Huo Xiaoxie had resisted on the mountain.Zheng Dachuan was overjoyed, and continued to check. The footprints along the way were clear, pointing to the back mountain clearly.Zheng Dachuan thought to himself that this man and woman probably have no skills, how fast a chick can move, and immediately called his men to chase after him. Zheng Dachuan and the others chased to the back mountain, only to find that there was no grass growing on the back mountain, but only stones.Zheng Dachuan lost the footprints of Huo Xiaoxie and the others, how can he be reconciled, relying on himself and his subordinates who have excellent legs and feet, he still chased forward, and in a blink of an eye he disappeared into the rocks and went far away. Zheng Dachuan and the others all chased into the back mountain, and Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yaoer crawled out from the grass on the side of the entrance of the back mountain. Huo Xiaoxie was very pleasantly surprised, and said: "Shui Yaoer, you really have it! How do you know they will definitely chase after you." The water monster laughed and said, "Stupid monkey! If you took seven or eight quick-legged people to chase a young man and a young wife, can you stop?" Huo Xiaoxie smirked: "Yes, yes!" Shui Yaoer said: "It's more convenient for us to send a group of people away! Come with me, we will also go underground." Shui Yao'er and Huo Xiaoxie followed the hillside and quickly came to the side of the courtyard of the Luoma Inn, hiding in the forest.The water monster took off the coat that the little daughter-in-law dressed up, and revealed the close-fitting black clothes, and took out a black gauze scarf to wrap her hair. At this time, the sun was sinking to the west, and it was nearly dusk. The sun was close to the top of the mountain and only half of its face was exposed. Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yao'er looked at it for a while, and saw that shopkeeper Qian, Zhao Yanqiang, and Jia Chunzi were in the courtyard.Shopkeeper Qian and Zhao Yanqiang were quite comfortable, sitting at the tables and chairs in the yard, whispering to each other.Jia Chunzi was sitting by the pit, dangling with his feet in the pit, appearing to be doing nothing.It's just that Jia Qingzi, who was holding two kitchen knives, was nowhere to be seen. Huo Xiaoxie and the others waited for a while before seeing Jia Qingzi running out of the half-collapsed back kitchen, holding two jars and a stack of dishes, a bamboo basket under his arm, and mountain goods on his shoulders. With a few cooked preserved pheasants in his hand, he went straight to the yard. Shui Yaoer said to Huo Xiaoxie: "How did you play with the wind?" Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly said: "Proficient! Few in Fengtian City can compare to me." Following the wind is actually a basic skill in being a thief, to the effect that it means following the "horse" (the person who is stolen) , but not let the horse find out, the emphasis is on light legs and quick movements. The water monster said: "Follow me! Let's go to the back kitchen!" As the water monster said, she got out of the forest, walked along the fence of the Luoma Inn, found a gap, and got into the courtyard.Huo Xiaoxie followed closely, also silently, and did not fall behind.The two hid behind the haystack. Shui Yaoer turned her head slightly, smiled at Huo Xiaoxie, tightened her feet, bowed her waist, and jumped to the wall of the uncollapsed firewood house like a fox, leaned against the wall, looked at Qian Treasurer and the others, and pointed at Huo Xiaoxie. Xie waved his hand.Even though Huo Xiaoxie couldn't jump and move forward like the water monster, but her small steps were fast, without making a sound, and she reached the water monster's side in the blink of an eye. The water monster poked Huo Xiaoxie with her arm, and said with a smile on her face: "Monkey, I saw that you are as stupid as a big bear along the way. When you move around, your skills are not bad! Who taught you the small steps on tiptoe?" ?” Huo Xiaoxie didn't even think about it, and said, "Stick!" The water monster said in surprise: "Stick? What kind of stick?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "It's just a stick for beating people. When I was young, I followed the leeward every day. If I was caught, I would have to be beaten with a stick. There are many people on the street, and it is more convenient to take small steps, and it is not easy to be caught. Because I am afraid of being beaten. , it was practiced, so it was taught with sticks.” Shui Yaoer smiled and said: "Hee hee, you're pretty good! It doesn't look like a burden." Shui Yaoer looked outside again, clicked her lips, and said, "But the next section is a little difficult, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass it. Why don't you wait until it gets dark? I'll go check it out first." Huo Xiaoxie was a little anxious, and said: "Oh, you just said I can do it, why did you dump me again? Is your word reliable? I can definitely do it!" The water monster said: "Stinky monkey, you can play with your mouth! I still deliberately fooled you? The next part of the road will be difficult, you let people find out, isn't it bad? Forget it, I will wait with you until dark, If you are left alone, you don't know what trouble you will do alone." Huo Xiaoxie looked up at the sun on the top of the mountain, and said: "The sun will completely set, and it will take another hour! If the group of people who went to the back mountain to chase us come back, it won't be worse!" The water monster blinked her eyes and said, "That's right! How about it, monkey, I'll give you something to cover your body and then crawl over." Huo Xiaoxie didn't know what Shui Yao'er meant, so she saw Shui Yao'er took out a small cloth bag from her backpack, and unfolded it, it turned out to be a huge square scarf, the color was gray, and the fabric was wrinkled. But at a glance, it is extremely thin. Huo Xiaoxie asked: "What is this?" Shui Yaoer's expression changed to that of a lady, and said shallowly: "I didn't want to use it for you... This is something from our Shui family. It's called a gray midge tent, which is specially used for concealment. You can use this Covering your body with one side, crawling slowly, and covered by shadows, as long as you don’t jump up and run around, from a distance, it’s just a pile of floating dirt.” Huo Xiaoxie was startled and said, "Is there such a good thing?" Shui Yaoer nodded, and slowly said: "Just now I saw your movement skills, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Such a good thing, I, I, I will use it, just in case..." Huo Xiaoxie is not capricious and afraid of being unable to make it through, but a thief like him who has always been poor, never dared I'm afraid that it will be damaged or lost if I use precious things.When Huo Xiaoxie was still young, he dropped a precious antique porcelain vase in the building of his boss, Qier Roller Mouse. The urine was all red, but fortunately he survived.Huo Xiaoxie has encountered this kind of experience a lot, and he is naturally afraid of using things that are too precious. The water monster interrupted Huo Xiaoxie, blinked her eyes, and said: "Nothing happens, I believe you can do it. Remember, climb straight to the wall of the back kitchen next to the firewood pile, and lie down quietly. Just don't move around, wait for me to come over. If there is any situation on the road, don't move around! Remember!" After Huo Xiaoxie heard what Shui Yaoer said, his heart was full of pride, mixed with sadness and emotion, so he couldn't help but nod his head heavily. Huo Xiaoxie's body was covered by this gray midge tent, which was very strange. Although it looked flimsy, it was tightly attached to the body without any fluctuations.When Huo Xiaoxie looked from the inside to the outside, he could see the outside scene clearly, it seemed to be transparent, but from the outside to the inside, it was opaque. Huo Xiaoxie listened to Shui Yaoer's order, climbed out of the woodshed wall, held his breath and slowly crawled forward, looking out through the gray midge tent, the shopkeeper Qian, Zhao Yanqiang, Jia Chunzi, and Jia Qingzi were looking at each other. Sitting around the table, he didn't pay attention to Huo Xiaoxie's side. Occasionally, when his eyes glanced over, Huo Xiaoxie was startled, and then he remained motionless. back kitchen. Although the distance was very short, Huo Xiaoxie was sweating profusely and was struggling extremely. Seeing that he was only ten steps away from the back kitchen wall, he suddenly saw Jia Qingzi standing up and running towards his direction . Huo Xiaoxie was shocked, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he cried secretly: "Oops! Could it be that he was discovered!" Shui Yaoer hid behind, seeing Jia Qingzi running straight towards Huo Xiaoxie, his expression tightened, and he thought to himself: "Huo Xiaoxie, don't move! It will be bad if you move!" Seeing Jia Qingzi running closer and closer, Huo Xiaoxie felt like tens of thousands of rabbits were jumping and jumping, his heart was almost about to explode, and the muscles in his whole body collapsed so tight that he would jump up and run away if he missed a thought.But at this moment, Huo Xiaoxie burst out the advice of the water demon in his head, and suddenly felt a slap in his heart, scolding himself: "You useless thing! Even if he finds me, so what if he stomps me into meat sauce? Don't move." Even if you don’t move, you won’t move even if you are beaten to death! Come on, come on, if you have the ability to step on your grandfather’s forehead! See if I don’t break your foot!” Huo Xiaoxie made up his mind, stayed still, stared at Jia Qingzi coming straight, and whispered: "Fuck, fuck, fuck..." Jia Qingzi ran straight towards him, if he ran more than ten steps, He would step on Huo Xiaoxie. But Jia Qingzi ran only ten steps in front of Huo Xiaoxie, but stopped, slapped his forehead, turned around, and turned from in front of Huo Xiaoxie to the back kitchen.Jia Qingzi rushed to the firewood pile by the back kitchen, picked up a large bundle of firewood in a clatter, and muttered: "There are also here, there are also here, I almost forgot!" Jia Qingzi hugged the firewood, turned around and ran back with big strides. Huo Xiaoxie looked at Jia Qingzi's back, softened his body, and cursed: "Damn you, what are you doing with firewood!" Huo Xiaoxie was really lucky, Jia Qingzi came to get firewood, and originally wanted to go straight to the firewood. However, he remembered that there was still unused dry firewood by the wall of the back kitchen, so he naturally didn't want to look far away. It turns out that the season in the Northeast is very cold. If the sun shines, it will be better. Once the sun is covered, it will soon be terribly cold.Shopkeeper Qian ordered Jia Qingzi to fetch firewood and light a fire in the yard.Jia Qingzi really didn't care that there was a gray midge tent on the ground, and there was Huo Xiaoxie underneath, but judging from the posture of rushing straight over, it's not surprising that Huo Xiaoxie's miserable appearance just now. A hero born a teenager, this kind of crisis that ordinary people would jump up and run around in fright, can actually make Huo Xiaoxie gritted his teeth and endured it. Huo Xiaoxie didn't want to wait any longer, so she settled down and moved forward slowly, and finally arrived at the back kitchen wall without any danger.Huo Xiaoxie was exhausted, lying on the ground, unwilling to move. Jia Qingzi took the firewood, built a fire not far from the table, and squatted by the table to drink, not daring to sit down. Zhao Yanqiang stayed here by himself, without a backer, and with a flattering face, he said to Shopkeeper Qian, "Treasurer Qian, how can you endure loneliness and guard the Luoma Inn for ten years?" Shopkeeper Qian shook his head lightly, and said: "I have to hide my name only to save my life. My senior brother Qiandilong bought my life back from Fourth Master Zhang. Even if I am afraid of Fourth Master Zhang, I am more Thinking of the kindness of my senior brother, I am willing to guard this loneliness. This Luoma Inn was originally the place where Qiandilong's lineage secretly studied the giant pit formation. I have been waiting for the day when Fourth Master Zhang will come out of the mountain again. I can Use this huge pit formation to help him catch people, and then I can regain my freedom! I thought I would never count on it for the rest of my life, but who knew that I actually caught four people who were passed on by Zhang Siye five hundred miles away! Haha! Haha! " Zhao Yanqiang said: "Treasurer Qian is really a brother and a hero with enough loyalty! Mr. Zhao admires it! Admire it! Shopkeeper Qian, come and have a bowl!" Zhao Yanqiang raised his neck and drank the wine. Shopkeeper Qian said: "Brother Zhao, you are welcome!" He also picked up the bowl and drank the wine. Zhao Yanqiang held the jar again, poured wine for Shopkeeper Qian, and asked, "Then Shopkeeper Qian, the Luoma Inn has sunk now, what do you plan to do in the future?" Shopkeeper Qian said leisurely: "In the past ten years, I have guarded this inn, but I am used to being the shopkeeper. I feel that although I am lonely, I have a leisurely time. Digging underground to eat soil, it's useless to think about it. Hehe, so, when Fourth Master Zhang comes and gives me back my freedom, I will go far to the south, find a downtown and open an inn, and quit the rivers and lakes!" Zhao Yanqiang sighed: "The shopkeeper Qian really has a heart! Come on, do it again! Do it again!" Zhao Yanqiang was about to drink it up again. Shopkeeper Qian declined: "I'm old, I can't drink like this anymore! Take your time, take your time! It's a mistake to drink too much!" Shopkeeper Qian raised the bowl and just took a big sip.Shopkeeper Qian had just finished his sips, his eyes flashed from the corner of his eye, and he turned his head to the back kitchen. After a closer look, he saw the mountain wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and there was nothing unusual about it.Shopkeeper Qian snorted, "It's getting cold!" Seeing Shopkeeper Qian's focused expression, Zhao Yanqiang looked to one side, and also looked over, only to see fallen leaves flying.Zhao Yanqiang said: "As soon as the sun sets, the wind blows wildly, what a ghostly weather!" Huo Xiaoxie tilted his head, watching the water monster jump out from behind the woodshed.The water demon has already covered her entire face with a black scarf, only two eyes are exposed.Huo Xiaoxie was even more surprised when she saw Shui Yao'er's movements! The water monster didn't jump forward like before, but moved forward a few steps at a high speed like a freeze frame, and paused, or crouched or crouched, motionless, like a robot.The frequency of Shui Yaoer's actions may be fast or slow, the pause time may be long or short, and the posture of stopping is not exactly the same every time. It seems that the whole person is undulating along the ground, the air is flowing, and the direction of the light is constantly changing. Like a section of invisible black liquid, it changes in thousands of ways. It changes instantaneously when flowing, and changes in different shapes like water turning into ice when it stops. Huo Xiaoxie lay on the ground, dazzled by the sight, and sighed: "Is there such a movement in the world? It looks like flowing water, flowing from one container to another." If Huo Xiaoxie didn't know that the water demon Er started from behind the woodshed, and if he took a quick look, he might not see anyone moving at all. The water demon bent over and had already reached Huo Xiaoxie's feet, patted Huo Xiaoxie, took off the mask with the other hand, and whispered: "Get up!" Only then did Huo Xiaoxie dare to move.Shui Yao'er lifted up the gray midge tent on Huo Xiaoxie, folded it, gathered it into a ball, and put it back into the rucksack. Shui Yaoer turned her head and saw Huo Xiaoxie raised her face, looking at herself stupidly, suddenly a blush appeared on her face, and said in a low voice: "Monkey, what do you think I am doing!"
