Chapter 89: The Chicken-Eating Uncle Becomes the King of Tricksters
What color is black? Black!
Cheng Su froze when he heard this. It was a pity that he was just feeling sad for the soldiers and civilians who died in vain. He had no place to vent his anger and grief, but the boy in front of him suddenly gave him a sudden change of heart.
The topic was changed so quickly. What was he doing? Was he still thinking about his child's abnormality?
That won’t work. I have to find a way to make it right for my child.
Yuan said that the best way is to be half true and half false, and Cheng Su is well aware of this.
Then, Li Yaoguang, who was working absent-mindedly not far away, discovered that her uncle suddenly put away his sadness, rolled his eyes, and took on his Kyoto dandy demeanor, acting as if he was on good terms with Brother Shen Yue, and said something that made her stumble.
"General Shen has also discovered it, right? Well, since I can't hide it from the general, and you and I get along well, I'll just tell the truth."
Cheng Su looked mysterious, which made Shen Yue look at him sideways.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, little general, that my niece has a great master, who comes from a family of sorcerers in the southwest..." The reason why he didn't say "family of sorcerers" was because the court was taboo about sorcery. For the sake of his own child, Cheng Su didn't think there was anything wrong with telling a little white lie. "My daughter has been learning skills from her master since she was young. She is not only well versed in the art of driving corpses in western Hunan, but also in the art of summoning souls and drawing talismans, immortals pointing the way, scattering beans to make soldiers, and five ghosts moving... These are all my niece's specialties!"
In short, talk more about your abilities, and they must be rare abilities. The more you exaggerate, the better. After all, it is a deterrent. If you really want to do something wrong, you have to think about it first.
Cheng Su spoke with great pride and joy, and his story was particularly hilarious. Li Yaoguang was amazed that his uncle was not afraid of exaggerating, just look at how strong his ability to deceive people is.
What they didn't know was that the listener Shen Yue was concerned about was the niece that someone had been talking about! And, "My benefactor, the big commotion when you and I met..."
Cheng Su was stunned, and the nonsense on his lips stopped abruptly. He laughed dryly, feeling guilty for his previous statement of ignorance. He kept making excuses, "Young general, Buddha said it cannot be said, it cannot be said." Then he gave the other party a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words as a summary.
Shocked Shen Yue thought about the shock he had heard that day, and then associated it with what he had felt and heard before he fainted today. He suddenly nodded and said, "I understand," and then looked at Li Yaoguang with eyes full of the curiosity of a young man.
This look made Li Yaoguang's scalp tingle. She stopped looking at her uncle who was talking in a weird way and ran away. Both sides stopped talking about this topic.
Nothing happened that night until dawn. When they set out again, Shen Yue, who was still sober, was probably embarrassed for a man to ride the mule, so he insisted on giving up the mule. Li Yaoguang would never admit that he was petty, so of course he didn't indulge her. He pulled her aunt onto the mule, and he rode his BMW leisurely behind. He saw the guy walking slowly at the end of the team, holding a knife in one hand and covering his wound with the other.
The rising sun, which was still visible when they set out, disappeared as they passed a mountain stream. The sky suddenly darkened and the north wind became stronger.
Cheng Sudou tightened his cloak around himself and stared at the sky in worry, "Is it going to snow today?"
The whole family was also worried.
Ever since they fled from Lao Wo Mountain, God seems to be unable to bear their smooth life and is always trying to cause trouble to disturb them.
The whole family prayed, hoping that it would not snow, but they didn't expect that God heard their prayers. It didn't snow, but after a few dull winter thunders, it was pouring rain, without even a drizzle at the beginning, which caught them off guard.
Li Yaoguang cursed the heavens inwardly and looked for a place to take shelter from the rain in a hurry, but the sky seemed to have a leak, and rain poured down with such force that it turned into ice when it hit the ground.
It's still freezing rain!
Li Yaoguang was really panicking because it was difficult to get things with outsiders behind him. He saw the common quilt on the back of the mule anxiously, so he drove the BMW over, pulled off the quilt, shook it open and threw it over his aunt. "Aunt, hurry up, it's freezing rain, hold Yangyang tightly, and cover him with the quilt to block it for now."
Yu Meixue was looking at the son her husband had stuffed in. She grabbed the corner of the quilt with one hand and looked at her relatives anxiously, "Su Lang, Guang'er, what about you guys?"
"Don't worry about us, just take care of Yangyang, Auntie."
"Yes, yes, Meixue, don't worry about anything else. We will take shelter from the rain."
Amid the crackling wind and rain, Li Yaoguang and Cheng Su settled their family and anxiously searched the mountains and forests for any place to shelter from the rain. However, there were no cliffs, dilapidated temples, hunter's huts, etc. What was even worse was that there was thunder in the sky, and they didn't even dare to go under a slightly larger tree.
In the rush and haste, no one noticed the person behind them, who was running at a slower pace than the mule and donkey...
"This is not a solution. Ah, ha, ha..."
Li Yaoguang sneezed twice, and felt his clothes gradually getting wet. The cold rain kept taking away his body temperature. He was still anxiously searching, and thought, why not just take out the carriage? Anyway, didn't my uncle talk to that outsider about it?
Just when Li Yaoguang was trying to find a flat ground to get out of the carriage, the always aloof Black Whirlwind suddenly poked his head out of the basket in front of Cheng Su and roared wildly in one direction.
Li Yaoguang sensed something was wrong and became alert. He rushed forward in his BMW and grabbed the Black Whirlwind, who was still holding his neck and howling wildly, from the basket and put it in front of him. He took out the electric baton and said to the people around him, "Aunt and uncle, Black Whirlwind's reaction is not right. I'll go and take a look. You guys go ahead and be careful."
Cheng Su knew what was important and knew that he should not hold the child back, so he nodded quickly, told Li Yaoguang to be careful and on guard, then told his wife to continue walking.
After Li Yaoguang separated from his family, he drove his BMW in the direction of the howling black whirlwind to check. He estimated that he had walked about fifty or sixty meters when he came out of a small forest. Behind the bushes in front of him, he saw a large bluestone half a person's height standing in front of him.
She was still wondering what the Black Whirlwind was yelling at the broken stone, when at that moment, something suddenly jumped out from behind the big bluestone and passed in front of her eyes. It was so fast that Li Yaoguang couldn't react at all.
"Is this a deer?" I just glanced at it and it looks quite similar. The size and color are similar, but it doesn't have antlers on its head.
Looking at the yellow-gray figure that quickly disappeared in the woods, Li Yaoguang felt a little regretful that he failed to get this thing. After all, venison was very valuable at the moment and was also very nutritious.
But it's too late to say anything now, and with such heavy rain, the most important thing right now is to find a place to shelter from the rain instead of hunting deer.
Li Yaoguang was about to turn around and go back in disappointment, but his eyes suddenly stopped when they passed the large bluestone, and his mind suddenly thought of the deer just now.
This thing just ran out from behind a rock. Is it hiding from the rain behind the rock? Or is this its home? Was it scared out by the black whirlwind?
Thinking of this, Li Yaoguang patted Black Whirlwind to quiet it down, quickly got off the BMW with it in his arms, and carefully walked forward to check with the electric baton in hand. After turning around the big bluestone, Li Yaoguang was surprised to find that there was actually a cave inside. The area was not small, about 20 square meters, and the cave was dry. Except for the strong smell of animal urine, it was absolutely impeccable. On such a freezing and rainy day, it could definitely save lives.
"Good boy, Black Whirlwind, you have done a great job this time. I will make you something delicious later."
Li Yaoguang rubbed Black Whirlwind's little head, and without stopping, he ran out quickly, rode on his BMW, quickly found his family and brought them to the cave.
