Chapter 31 Shoot down an ominous bird
The bandit paused and suddenly felt a little scared.
The brothers behind him ran over and laughed: "Little lady, you like playing hide-and-seek. Then the brothers will play with you!"
After saying that, they pounced on him together.
But something horrifying happened.
The woman is missing!
"Where are the people?"
“I was just here!”
"I saw clearly that she disappeared suddenly!"
The first bandit didn't move, so he saw it very clearly. He didn't blink and there was no way he would be wrong. The woman just disappeared suddenly!
"Ghost, it's a ghost! There's a ghost here!"
"You're a ghost! I'm not afraid of ghosts!"
A horse bandit spoke fiercely, but his eyes were alert and vigilant, and he was extremely nervous.
Waving a knife around randomly.
"You're just trying to be mysterious, come out here!"
After a long time of searching, I looked everywhere in the sky and on the ground, but there was no sign of him.
Several horse bandits sat down on the ground, panting.
"I must be dazzled. There are no... no... ghosts here!!!!"
Suddenly, a head with long flowing hair appeared out of thin air!
"I've been dead for hundreds of years. There's been a famine in the underworld lately. I have no money or food. Do you have any...anything...anything?"
A long, eerie and spooky female voice, like an opera singer, kept lingering in my ears.
"Oh no! We don't have any either!"
"Really?"
The ghost girl's body gradually emerged, swaying left and right, as if it was squeezed out from an invisible sack.
Until you are standing on the ground like before.
He thrust his hands forward, curling them into claws, and cried out in a mournful voice, "Take it out!"
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
After a few shouts, seven or eight pieces of silver and four things wrapped in oil paper were thrown on the ground, and people ran away in a swarm.
Only then did Sang Ning push aside her hair and pick up the things on the ground.
The thing wrapped in oil paper turned out to be roasted rabbit meat!
Great, there’s food again!
She took the things and went to look for the Huo family, and saw them after a few steps.
It turned out that they hadn't left yet! They were waiting for her!
Huo Jingya and Li Yuzhi seemed to be about to turn back to look for him.
"Sister-in-law, what took you so long?"
Looking at everyone's worried eyes, Sang Ning smiled at them.
"I scared the horse bandits away, and they even dropped some food."
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are so awesome! How did you scare me?" Huo Jingya couldn't believe it.
That's a horse bandit who kills without blinking an eye!
Sang Ning covered her hair again: "Take... your life...that's how I scare you!"
Li Yuzhi and Huo Jingya shivered at the same time.
Don’t say it, it’s really scary.
Huo Changan doesn't believe it!
He knew that Sanning had a secret.
Either he has hidden martial arts skills or has other abilities, it is definitely not as simple as pretending to be a ghost.
Also, last night she left for a while while everyone was asleep, and when she came back she smelled of fresh spring water.
He was lying nearby and could smell it clearly.
Endless Tai Sui meat and sweet water...
He had no intention of exploring her secrets, as long as she was sincere to the Huo family.
Sang Ning took out the little rabbit meat he had and divided it among everyone, still following the same method as yesterday.
Yun Shuixian had to endure the grievances and did not dare to find fault.
"My aunt seems to be asleep. Let's not leave yet." She said holding her breath.
There was too little food and she had no strength to walk!
When everyone looked, they saw that the old lady was indeed sleeping with her head resting on her hands.
"Mom went to bed late last night." Li Yuzhi said.
Sang Ning frowned. She originally wanted to go further inside, fearing that the horse bandits were just frightened for a moment and would gather more people to come in later.
But the old lady must be really tired after such a long journey, otherwise she would not fall asleep at this time.
"Then let's wait for another stick of incense."
As they were talking, there was a sudden flapping sound from above, which scared everyone.
I saw a black mass falling from the branches with a crackling sound.
Huo Changan held a palm-sized slingshot in his hand and looked intently at Sang Ning. His eyes seemed to contain something, sparkling brightly.
Sonning's eyes widened in shock.
The children cheered.
"Fourth uncle is so awesome!"
Jintang rushed forward to pick it up.
When Huo Changan saw Sang Ning frowning, his eyes couldn't help but focus, then dropped, feeling secretly ashamed.
What's the point of this little skill? Jintang can shoot down a bird after practicing a few times. It's really ridiculous.
“So amazing.”
Seeing that he seemed a little disappointed, Sang Ning still gave him a sincere compliment.
The boy's eyelids twitched and he pursed his lips.
Sonning really didn't expect that he could shoot down the bird.
He can train horses and shoot a little bit, so he's not as useless as the old lady said, right?
but……
"Why would you shoot a crow?"
Huo Changan suddenly raised his eyes.
crow?
"Fourth Uncle..."
Xiao Jintang held the bird's claws at the very edge and came back with an extremely unbearable expression.
"This looks a lot like the ominous bird mentioned in the book."
"It's not very similar, it is it!" Sang Ning grinned in disgust.
The crow is actually a beneficial bird. In ancient times, it was also called auspicious and divine bird because of its predictive function.
However, because it is completely black and has a fondness for carrion, it is still disliked by most people in the folk and is considered a symbol of death.
It has a keen sense of smell and is ferocious. It can smell the presence of a dead person or a dying person in advance and will start calling nearby early, waiting to be eaten.
It's really hard to like it.
So, why did Huo Changan want to take it down!
The whole family looked at him speechlessly.
Huo Jingya rubbed her arms. Her fourth sister-in-law had just played the ghost when the crows came, making the place feel even more eerie.
Jintang hurriedly threw the crow far away with a flick of his hand, and rubbed the dirt on the ground with his little hands.
Huo Changan: "..."
I didn’t see it clearly, I really didn’t see it clearly.
Sang Ning was so amused that she wanted to get some water to wipe Jintang's hands when she heard Li Yuzhi scream, "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?!"
Everyone was shocked and gathered around.
"There's blood coming out of the corner of my mouth!"
"Mother, mother... mother, wake up!"
Huo Changan's face turned pale, and he immediately thought of the crow.
Really?
No, no, mom won’t die!
He didn't care about anything and crawled over using both hands.
"Mom, don't scare your son!"
"He's still breathing, stop shouting!" Sang Ning also thought of the crow.
Anyone who attracts crows is a sign that the person is already dead and cannot be saved.
But, but the old lady was obviously fine before!
She is still drinking the spiritual spring water!
Sang Ning couldn't believe it either.
The others couldn't accept it at all and they all started crying out of fear.
Sang Ning didn't care anymore and pinched the old lady's mouth to feed her some more spiritual spring water.
Then he took out a ginseng root from his bosom and stuffed it into her mouth to keep her alive.
"Did Mom say anything before she went to bed?" she asked.
"I didn't say anything!" Xie Yurou cried, "I just said I wanted to hug Jinxin, but Jinxin..."
Jin Xin didn't let her hug her.
Then the old lady said, "Be careful, you're still blaming your grandmother! Well, it's good for a girl to have a temper. She won't be bullied so easily."
Then I went to sleep.
Could it be that my mother knew that I would...
"Grandma... don't die, grandma..." Xiao Jinxin finally came over and held the old lady's hand while crying.
Sanning felt something was wrong.
If the oil is exhausted, why does the corner of the mouth bleed?
"Does mother have any old illness?"
"No, Mom has always been in good health. Apart from the scar on her arm from blocking an arrow for Dad in her early years, which hurts on rainy days, she has no other problems!" Huo Changan said tremblingly and forbearingly.
"But, in prison... I don't know!"
