Li Yuemin knew that once the horse was frightened, he would be powerless even if he tried his best.
Besides, this black dragon colt is wild and difficult to tame. If we confront it, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, he had to lower his body and crawl on the horse's back, letting the horse pass through woods, mountains, fields, and ravines.
The biting cold wind blew past his face, causing it to hurt.
In the darkness, he could still tell the direction at first, but as the night grew darker, Li Yuemin didn't know where the horse had gone.
It was unknown how much time had passed before the horse finally ran out of strength and stopped in a deep ditch.
Li Yuemin let go of his hands and sat up straight on the horse's back, feeling his limbs aching as if they were falling apart.
I looked around in the moonlight, and suddenly I had a familiar feeling.
"Huh? Why does this place look so much like Laoqinggou?
Li Yuemin could hardly believe his eyes. He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and walked forward along the ditch for a while.
...
...
As I was walking, I suddenly noticed a large pool of dark blood on the ground.
"Oh my god, isn't this the place where my second brother and I surrounded and annihilated the Grand Duke?"
This discovery made Li Yuemin very excited. He patted Mo Longju's neck:
"My friend, it seems that you understand my heart the best. You knew that I missed my wife, and you actually sent me home.
I know you have been wronged today. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you.
See, after you get out of this ditch and turn the corner, you will find your home.
Work harder, I'll reward you well when we get home!"
After saying that, he patted the horse on its butt.
Although the black dragon horse had been running all night, it still had some strength left. After receiving Li Yuemin's signal, it started running again in small steps.
At around four o'clock in the morning, Li Yuemin had already walked out of Laoqinggou under the moonlight.
At this time, the production team's driver, Old Wu, got up early and drove to the county to buy fertilizer.
Maybe it was because the branches blocked Li Yuemin's face, or maybe it was because of his line of sight, but Old Wu raised his head suddenly and saw a headless man suddenly appear in the dim night, riding a black horse out of the woods.
He was so frightened that he turned the horse's head, raised the whip and whipped the horse's back, wishing the horse could fly.
"Oh no, folks, run! The headless general is here to seek revenge."
"What? The Headless General? Wasn't he suppressed by the Taoist priest? Why is he here to cause trouble again?"
"Oh my god, where can we run? No matter how fast we run, it won't be as fast as that black horse of his."
Old Wu's terrified shouts suddenly echoed over the quiet village, waking up the sleeping villagers like thunder.
The village chief Zhang Wanshan was also awakened.
He got up, put on his cotton jacket, and looked for his socks, but he didn't know where he had left them.
I had no choice but to walk barefoot into the cotton trough, grab the basin in one hand and the shovel in the other, push the door and walk out.
Men from every household also came out, holding similar weapons in their hands.
"Listen to me, folks. The black horse of the Headless General is most afraid of the sound of gongs and drums.
If we hit it hard, the horse will be frightened and will definitely run back to the mountains carrying its owner.
Now listen to my command and start knocking."
As soon as Zhang Wanshan gave an order, clanging sounds rang out one after another.
At first they were not in sync, but after a while they became louder and louder, making people's eardrums hurt.
Zhang Chuntao was dreaming of being embraced by Li Yuemin's big hands and being intimate with him, when she suddenly felt someone shaking her awake:
"Sister-in-law, please don't sleep. The headless general has entered the village.
Hurry up and go out with pots and pans and bang them. Only the power of everyone can drive away this evil spirit."
"Yuejin, whoever wants to knock can do so. I have never been afraid of evil spirits, and I don't believe in any legends about evil spirits.
Besides, don't you still have a gun in your hand?
Come on, leave me alone, I'm dating your brother."
After saying that, he lay down again and covered his head with the quilt.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuejin hurriedly turned back to the house, picked up the Hanyang-made rifle, and rushed out of the yard.
At this time, Song Mengyao was also awakened by the deafening noise.
He was so scared that he leaned against Li Guolin's not-so-strong chest:
"Guolin, I heard someone outside shouting something like "Headless General". What the hell is this Headless General?"
"Shh, stop talking nonsense. If the headless general hears us, we'll both be dead."
Li Guolin subconsciously covered Song Mengyao's mouth.
Song Mengyao blocked him with her hand:
"Why can't I say this? You rural people love to believe in gods and ghosts. We city people never believe in these things.
Since I scared you so much, why don't you tell me the origin of the Headless General?"
"Oh Mengyao, you are an educated youth, of course you don't know. Let me tell you.
It is said that this headless general was a great general in the Tang Dynasty. He was chased by the enemy and had no place to go, so he hid in this mountain.
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by nearby villagers, resulting in his head being chopped off by the enemy and hung on a tree.
The villager who betrayed him was the ancestor of our village.
Our village was not called this name at that time. It was changed to Hongqi Village after liberation.
After the general died, he could not get rid of his resentment. Whenever it was cloudy or rainy, he would ride his black horse out to seek revenge.
Kill anyone you see, no one can escape.
Later, a Taoist priest passed by and suppressed him, and told the villagers that the general's black horse was most afraid of the sound of gongs and drums.
As long as it was struck, it would carry the headless general back to the mountain. The villagers tried it and it really worked.
Since then, the headless general has never come out again. I don’t know why he came out today even though it didn’t rain.”
When Song Mengyao heard this, she suddenly understood.
"Guolin, since there is such a legend, we can't help but believe it. How about we go out and knock on it?"
After saying that, Piantui was about to get off the kang, but unexpectedly, Li Guolin pulled him back.
"You silly old woman, I just told you that the headless general kills anyone he sees.
Of course he wouldn't kill you if he couldn't see you, but you still rushed to die.
You can die, but the baby in my belly is still alive."
When Song Mengyao heard this, she was immediately furious and grabbed Li Guolin's ears and angrily scolded:
"Mr. Li, tell me again, who did you say died?
Now I will give you a choice, tell me, do you want me or my son?"
Li Guolin then realized that he had said the wrong thing unintentionally. He quickly begged for mercy:
"Wife, wife, I was wrong, I was wrong. I want both you and our son."
"That's better than the other way around. Since you're the father of the baby in my belly, I'll let you go for now."
Song Mengyao finished speaking and let go of her hand. She then said:
"Hey, Guolin, I heard that Li Yuemin was invited by Director Zhao of the County Bureau to run a blind bear warehouse.
He has been gone for two or three days and has not come back yet. Could he have been bitten to death by a blind bear?
If he was really bitten to death, why didn't anyone from Shangkanggou come to report the death? "|
When Li Guolin saw Song Mengyao mention Li Yuemin, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Suddenly he became jealous and said unhappily:
"You are pregnant with my son, but you are thinking about that bastard Li Yuemin. Are you sure that I, Li Guolin, will never be as successful as him in this life?"
"Guolin, how could you think like that? I hope he gets eaten by a blind bear, so that Zhang Chuntao becomes a widow and his son is born without a father."
"Mengyao, even though I don't get along with Li Yuemin, I also don't like Zhang Chuntao.
But after all, I have no grudge against her. I don't know how Zhang Chuntao offended you, so you want to curse her like this?"
"Humph, cursing her is too light. I wish I could kill her. Who told her to say that the baby in my belly is not yours?"
After Song Mengyao finished speaking, she subconsciously covered her mouth and looked at Li Guolin with a guilty look.
