Chapter 42: Skull Hall
With a bang, the two men in black fell to the ground, causing the ground to move.
Meng Yi, Xiao Qi and the other three quickly went over and surrounded the two men again.
Seeing that the two people lying on the ground did not move at all, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba went forward to check.
Xiao Qi squatted down and pulled the black-clad man, who was lying face down on the ground, over to turn him over. Seeing that his chest was still rising and falling slightly, he said, "This one is still breathing. Xiao Ba, how is yours?"
"Too fragile, already dead. Xiao Qi, don't keep that. You can't get anything out of a person like that."
Xiao Qi agreed with Xiao Ba's words. He pulled out a dagger and slashed the black-clothed man's throat. Then the two men searched their bodies carefully.
However, there was nothing except a few banknotes.
Meng Yi and Xiao Jiu also became suspicious, and the four of them stepped forward and stripped the clothes off the two men in black.
After some operations, a skull pattern was found on the arm of the man in black.
In an instant, the expressions of the four people immediately became serious. If they guessed correctly, this skull figure should be a force called the Skeleton Hall that appeared in the north of Wuxi Kingdom.
If nothing unexpected happens, these two people are from the Skeleton Hall.
Skull Hall
However, they had never heard that this force would accept the mission. Could it be that the person behind this had some connection with the Skeleton Hall?
After confirming that there were indeed no clues, Meng Yi took a burning piece of firewood and directly set the two men in black on fire.
Seeing the corpse on fire again, Ouyang Hui's eyes became even darker, and the evil fire in his heart was raging everywhere...
At the same time, he prayed in his heart, hoping that the man would not make any further moves before reaching the place of exile.
After all this hassle, no one was sleepy anymore and they kept their eyes open to greet the dawn in the sky.
At dawn, they set out again, and the group became even more silent.
That day, the mountain road became increasingly difficult to walk on, and even a little steep. After carefully climbing over this steep section of the mountain road, a small patch of grass came into view.
After estimating the time, Meng Yi looked around and called a halt: "Let's rest here for the night and set off again tomorrow morning. Leave some people here to build a stove and boil water, and the rest of you go out to find food. There's a water source about a mile to the left and ahead."
"yes."
This time, it was still Jiang and her two sons from the first wife who went out to look for food, and the women and children from the second and third wives also went out.
Several children from the second house took turns staying behind. Today was Ouyang Minglou's turn. This idea was discussed by the children to prevent that old lady Ouyang from causing trouble again while they were away.
This time, not only half of the officers and soldiers stayed behind, but even Xiaoba and Xiaojiu stayed behind as well, just in case.
No one knows what will happen after a few days of calm, which is really worrying...
Xu Yuzhu and Jiang Yun, who had gone out to look for food, searched in the woods with a few children.
Suddenly, they heard a few "coo~coo~" sounds, and they immediately slowed down their pace and looked in the direction of the sound.
Xu Yuzhu and Jiang Yun looked at each other, and then Xu Yuzhu, holding Ouyang Feiluo and their two sons, tiptoed towards the direction of the cooing sound.
Ouyang Feiluo, who was held in his arms, first saw the pheasants in the bushes. After counting carefully, hey, there were actually six of them. He wondered in his heart: Are all the pheasants here a family or are these a few girlfriends having a party?
Without thinking too much, Ouyang Feiluo started to operate skillfully, his eyes fixed on the pheasant, and then with a thought, he collected it.
In a flash, three pheasants were immediately caught by her.
So, when Xu Yuzhu and her sons saw the pheasants, they happened to see three pheasants that looked a little dazed. After gently putting Ouyang Feiluo on the ground, the mother and her sons pounced directly on the pheasants.
Haha, one for each person, exactly three.
Seeing that the three of them had each caught a pheasant, Jiang Yun came over with her twin children, smiled and gave a thumbs-up to Xu Yuzhu's mother and the others, and then they started searching in the grass together.
A few minutes later, the group happily walked out of the bushes and continued searching in the woods.
An hour and a half later, Xu Yuzhu and his group returned with their harvest.
Looking at the five pheasants, more than twenty pheasant eggs, and a lot of shepherd's purse, Meng Yi and others were also a little surprised.
Reaching out to take the backpack, Meng Yi looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Third Madam, just give us half of these pheasant eggs, and the other half can be used to supplement the children." After saying that, he picked out ten pheasant eggs from the backpack, took out a handful of shepherd's purse, and handed the backpack to Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun looked at the dozen or so pheasant eggs and some shepherd's purse in the backpack, paused for a moment, then took the basket, thanked them, and headed towards where they were resting.
Handing the backpack to Xu Yuzhu, Jiang Yun said, "Second sister-in-law, in addition to the pheasant, General Meng only asked for ten pheasant eggs and a handful of shepherd's purse."
Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Xu Yuzhu was not surprised at all. Instead, she said, "Keep it. We worked so hard to find it, so it's not a problem to keep some of it."
Seeing Xu Yuzhu's indifferent face, Jiang Yun looked over suspiciously: "Second sister-in-law is not curious?"
Xu Yuzhu looked at Jiang Yun and smiled faintly, then said, "Being too curious is not a good thing."
Ouyang Feiluo, who was eating peanuts at the side, nodded her head and said, "Yeah, curiosity kills the cat."
Hearing this, Jiang Yun burst into laughter, squatted down and teased little Philo, saying: "Luo'er, what does curiosity kills the cat mean?"
The little girl was eating peanuts. She stopped chewing them when she heard what was said. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Aunt, I'm only four years old, four years old." As she spoke, she stretched out her little hand and made a number four.
Seeing the cute and serious look of this little girl, not only Jiang Yun was amused, but Xu Yuzhu and others who also wanted to hear why curiosity killed the cat were also amused.
"Haha, little Luo'er is so cute..."
"Xiao Luo'er, I know you are four years old, but how come you know that curiosity kills the cat..."
It was obvious that Jiang Yun was asking this question deliberately just to have fun.
I thought the little girl wouldn't talk, but I didn't expect Ouyang Feiluo to speak mysteriously: "Aunt, curiosity kills the cat, so don't ask."
Seeing the mysterious expression on little Philo's face, Jiang Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, oh my, when did our Luo'er become so powerful..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a double entendre. Oh, I really like Xiao Luo'er..."
Ouyang Qin, who was watching the fun from the side, also agreed and said, "Yes, our little Luo'er is amazing, and I, his uncle, like him too."
Seeing that both parents liked Xiao Luo'er, the twin brothers and sisters were also happy. At this moment, the cute and adorable little Philo was so cute that they had no resistance at all.
However, Ouyang Mingtao still asked: "Mom, you just said a double entendre, what do you mean? Are you referring to what Sister Luo'er said about curiosity killing the cat?"
Jiang Yun looked at the puzzled look in her son's eyes, then turned her gaze to the other children and asked softly, "Do you know what the double entendre I just mentioned is?"
