"Yes... yes... yes... there is shit!"
"I'm not blind, don't move forward, are you going to eat it? You're stupid, but you're not that stupid."
"Don't talk, Gou Wa, there are people on the road."
"Hehe, I'll listen to you, Senior Brother Li."
Soon, Lu Zhuangyuan saw those people coming out of the woods.
When he saw the appearance of those people, Lu Zhuangyuan took a breath of cold air. No wonder his youngest son said there was a ghost just now. They looked too scary.
A thin man with black and white spots on his face, a woman with white hair, a strange man with bow legs lying on someone's back, and even a man with a face full of hair.
Lu Zhuangyuan, who has traveled all over the country, can be regarded as knowledgeable, but he was still scared by the scene in front of him.
"Dad, I'm scared." Lu Xiucai kept shrinking back, as if he wanted to shrink his body as much as possible behind his father.
"You are afraid of me, aren't you afraid?" Lu Zhuangyuan cursed his youngest son in his heart. If there was not a handsome Taoist priest and several Taoist children who looked normal in this group of people, he would have turned around and ran away.
Lu Zhuangyuan trembled and bowed to Li Huowang. "May I ask this Taoist priest, are these all the monsters you have subdued?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately received a lot of hostile eyes.
"What are you talking about, old man! You want to be beaten, right? Who are you talking about?"
Lu Zhuangyuan saw that the handsome Taoist priest waved his hand to stop the aggressive black and white face monster, and he was more certain of his thoughts in his heart.
"My old man, please ask, where does this road lead to?"
"Wuligang! Wuligang is in front, not far away. Hehehe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhuangyuan secretly burned the horse's butt with the dry tobacco in his hand. The horse neighed and ran along the forest path with the box.
"Hey! My horse! My horse! Hurry up." Lu Zhuangyuan and others pretended to chase the horse anxiously.
They ran very fast and left those things behind in a short time.
They ran for an hour. Seeing that his little son had vomited, Lu Zhuangyuan blew a whistle to stop the horse.
After stopping, he ignored his little son and went to see how the horse pulling the cart was doing. In this opera troupe, horses are more valuable than people.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark and it was almost night.
"My dear mother, what are those things? I am so scared." Lu Juren, who was sweating profusely, gasped for breath.
Lu Zhuangyuan kicked him, "Don't you see it's getting dark? Go to the forest to find some firewood!"
Beside the path in the forest, a warm fire was lit, and the soft multi-grain buns were fed into everyone's mouth. The sweetness of the grain soothed their frightened hearts.
"Look at how scared you are. When you are out, it doesn't matter if you encounter some weird things. The more you don't panic, I tell you." Lu Zhuangyuan said to the others.
"Dad, those may not be monsters. I think they look like people, and the little Taoist priest even calls you father-in-law."
Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Lu Zhuangyuan shook the water gourd in his hand.
"Whatever it is, let's not get involved. Remember this. When you are out, if you want to live longer, don't get involved with some things as long as you can avoid them."
This is Lu Zhuangyuan's philosophy of life. No matter what, he has lived to such an old age by relying on this.
And he also plans to pass this on to his younger and older sons. After all, when he is old, this troupe will rely on them to take over.
Handing the water gourd in his hand to his nephew beside him, Lu Zhuangyuan looked at his granddaughter who was lying in his daughter-in-law's arms.
Watching her grinding a small piece of steamed bun with her newly grown milk teeth, Lv Zhuangyuan felt more and more happy.
He turned around and took out a salt duck egg from a round jar on the car. After carefully opening a hole, he sent the sizzling yolk to his granddaughter's mouth. "Come on, girl, suck this, it smells so good."
Watching his granddaughter sucking hard, Lv Zhuangyuan's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
Although it was a pity that she was not a grandson, after all, they were relatives of the previous generation, so he still cherished this little granddaughter very much.
Feeling that this was a good opportunity, Luo Juanhua immediately said, "Dad, look, Cui'er is so old, isn't it time for her to have some clothes? It's not a good thing to wear a costume every day."
When he heard his daughter-in-law mention money, Lv Zhuangyuan's smile disappeared immediately, and his facial features wrinkled together.
Just when he was about to refuse, he saw the loose costume on his granddaughter, and his heart softened again.
He took a few puffs of his pipe, and with more wrinkles on his face, he walked to the front of the car and took out a long copper lock to open the box.
After reaching in and groping for a long time, he counted out fifty copper coins.
"Don't go to the town to buy cloth. It's expensive. When you get to Wuligang in two days, ask which woman weaves cloth and buy a few feet from them. Remember to ask several families and find the cheapest one."
"Also, remember to buy cotton cloth instead of linen. Xiu'er's skin is tender, and it's uncomfortable to buy linen."
"I know." Luo Juanhua took the copper coins with a smile. She thought it was good enough to get the money to buy linen, but she didn't expect that the stingy rooster would crow this time.
The child was small, and it didn't take much cloth to make clothes. Maybe he could save some this time.
When he saw that his granddaughter had eaten the egg yolk, Lu Zhuangyuan shared the remaining egg whites with the adults.
Although each person didn't get much, they were still very happy to eat it after tasting the salty taste. It was not easy to have meat.
It was already dark, and there was nothing to do after dinner. After listening to Lu Zhuangyuan telling a few old stories that he didn't know where he came from, it was time to go to bed.
The person who kept watch for the first half of the night today was Lu Juren. After walking all day, Lu Juren was very tired, but he still forced himself to stare at the fire in front of him and not let it go out.
"Son, you go to sleep, I'm watching." Lu Zhuangyuan sat next to his son and began to puff his dry pipe again.
Lu Juren yawned and said, "Dad, I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep."
"What nonsense, go to sleep quickly. I don't sleep much."
Just as the two were arguing in front of the campfire, Lu Zhuangyuan suddenly covered his son's mouth with his hand and pointed to the dark woods in the distance.
"Hehe~" A sharp and thin woman's laughter suddenly sounded on their right side.
Lv Zhuangyuan and his son looked subconsciously, but they could see nothing but darkness.
"Hehehe~ Do you think I look like a human or a god?" The dark forest began to shake, as if something was about to come out.
Lv Zhuangyuan was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He knew that something was asking him for a title.
You can't answer this randomly. If you answer wrong, your family might be destroyed.
But now the question is, what is in the forest asking for a title?
The forest shakes rhythmically at night, making a strange rustling sound.
