Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

We finally got through the night and it was daylight.

There is nothing special about the poplar forest during the day. The sunlight shines through the leaves of the poplar trees, leaving mottled marks on the ground. The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, as if none of the weird things happened last night.

The three of us are exhausted. Last night was really thrilling.

I picked up some dry branches and lit them with fire sticks, intending to boil some water and eat some dry food we brought.

Gongsun Furong sat quietly on a tree stump not far away, holding her cheek in her hand, as if she had something on her mind.

The fat man was so tired that he collapsed on the ground and fell asleep leaning against a thick poplar tree.

I boiled the water, woke up the fat man, and called Gongsun Furong over, saying, "Hey, you guys come over and have something to eat."

They heard my shout and came over slowly. We sat together and planned to have breakfast.

The fat man said: "Today is the seventh day of July, which is when the messenger from the Ghost Realm appears. We will recharge our batteries during the day and act according to the opportunity at night."

I asked the fat man: "What kind of ghost is this messenger from the ghost realm?"

The fat man said: "I don't know, I've never heard grandpa mention it before, but I think the thing recorded on the last page of grandpa may be related to the ghost messenger. However, no matter what it is, it is definitely not a good thing. "

I said to Gongsun Furong: "Miss Gongsun, I think you should go back. It will be very dangerous to stay, and we have to take care of you, which will be even more troublesome."

Gongsun Furong raised her eyebrows, her face looked a little ugly, and said: "Do you mean I am a burden?"

I said: "I didn't say it, you said it yourself. It would be more troublesome for you to stay."

Gongsun Furong said angrily: "I won't! No one can order me since I was a child, not even my father!"

I was also a little angry. Why was this girl so stubborn? She was even more stubborn than the donkeys in the production team.

The fat man said: "Actually, Brother Guo is doing this for your own good. We are going to face an unknown enemy tonight. We don't know anything about it now, let alone how to deal with him. If he hurts you, how can we talk to your father?" Explain it."

Gongsun Furong pretended to be relaxed. She pouted and said, "Wouldn't that be more exciting? Anyway, I won't leave. I want to see what kind of messenger this is and how terrifying he can be. I'm not useless, at least there are more One person has more strength, and I am not a delicate female patient, so I also have a lot of strength."

Fatty and I both sighed. Don't talk nonsense with a stubborn woman. You will find that whatever you tell her is nonsense, just let her go.

We were full, and the fat man felt sleepy again. He went back under the tree and started snoring after a while.

Neither Gongsun Furong nor I felt sleepy, so we planned to walk around in the woods to see if we could hunt some wild animals. We just ate the dry food we brought, but we didn’t feel very full and soon became hungry again.

At this time, I discovered that Gongsun Furong had a small brocade bag hanging on her waist, which was very delicate. I thought it might be something like a purse or a sachet. Girls all wear these things on their bodies that can’t be used to eat or drink.

At this time, a few sparrows passed over our heads, and she suddenly took out a slingshot from the pouch on her waist! It turns out that this is not a sachet, but her secret weapon.

She took out her slingshot, found a small stone on the ground, then fully loaded the bow and flicked out. In response, the sparrows fell from the sky, not one, but two, killing two birds with one stone!

I didn't expect that this little girl is really talented. Not only does she ride a horse well, but she can also shoot a slingshot so accurately. I can't help but have a good impression of her.

We shot many sparrows, washed them and skinned them in the creek in the forest, and then roasted them on the fire.

Gongsun Furong was still very efficient at work. She quickly cleaned the sparrows, found some thin poplar branches and strung them on top one by one. She directed me to dig the soil while she prepared to build a stove in the open space.

Not to mention, her craftsmanship is really good, and she actually built a west wind stove.

I asked her: "Did you learn these skills from dad?"

She said calmly: "I don't see my father a few times a year. I learned these things from my cook. She is very kind to me."

I asked again: "What about your mother?"

She looked a little sad and said: "I don't know, she disappeared shortly after giving birth to me. I have never seen my mother's face. It was our cook who raised me."

I began to feel some sympathy for the little girl in front of me. Although she was weird and cunning, she was very stubborn and independent.

"Don't you hate your father?" I asked next.

She said: "When I was a child, I was afraid of him and hated him very much. Other children had parents who cared for me, but I only had a cook. Later, when I grew up, I felt that it was not easy for my father. He was at war all the year round, and every time he came back from the war, My whole body is covered with wounds, but he is quite used to me. I don’t want to have my feet tied, and he won’t let the cook tie them for fear of pain. Anyway, he has never forced me to do anything I don’t want to do.”

At this time, the fat man woke up and asked, "What time is it now? I'm hungry again." As he said that, he looked at me and Miss Gongsun with his sleepy eyes.

"You are really talented. As long as we have delicious food, you will wake up."

We put the sparrows on the earth stove, lit a fire under it, and after a while the sparrows were roasted with oil. It was really fragrant!

At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and the fat man said: "Let's finish eating quickly, it will get dark soon."

Although there was no salt or condiments in the sparrows, they were very crispy and crispy. I ate five of them in one go, Fatty ate more, and Gongsun Furong couldn't eat anymore after only three.

Just when we were enjoying our meal, a wild cat suddenly jumped out of the woods. It was attracted by the smell of barbecue.

This wild cat was bigger than what we usually see. It looked like a leopard. It bared its teeth and was very fierce, but it had the head of a tiger and the brain of a tiger. It was cute and cute, which made Gongsun Furong and Our Lady feel guilty.

She threw a roasted sparrow at the cat, picked up the sparrow and ran away, disappearing into the woods.

After a while, we heard cats meowing from all around. My heart sank, no, this is a cat nest.

Sure enough, many wild cats appeared out of nowhere, probably dozens of them.

Wild cats are different from ordinary domestic cats. They are more ferocious and their lethality is not inferior to that of wolves, but they look harmless to humans and animals.

Gongsun Furong also didn't expect that the cat she fed would attract so many cats, and none of these cats looked kind at first glance, with a cold and cruel light in their eyes.

It seems that they not only want to eat those roasted sparrows, but also want to eat humans!

Gongsun Furong picked up a stone from the ground, put it on the holster of the slingshot, pulled it full force and shot it out. The shot was very accurate, hitting a big cat in the eye.

The cat felt pain and fell to the ground with a squeal.

When the other cats saw that their companion was injured, they all retreated, but they did not escape and slowly began to gather together again.

The number of cats was increasing, and I thought to myself, if they all pounced on us, we would definitely be unable to withstand them.

I took out a burning dead branch from the stove and turned it towards them. They might be more afraid of fire. As soon as I threw it out, they hid far away, but after a while the dead branch turned ashes and they returned. It started to approach us step by step.

I shouted to the fat man: "Damn it, we are going to die in the cat's mouth this time, and the arrows are useless. This time we are going to have our hair cut off."

The fat man said: "Hahaha, being eaten by a cat is not fun. Fatty, I won't allow it."

As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube from the robe on the ground, then tore off a piece of his clothes and covered his mouth. Gongsun Furong and I also did the same thing.

He opened one side of the bamboo tube and found something black and powdery inside, and then lit it with a fire stick.

At this time, white smoke came out of the bamboo tube, mixed with a very pungent smell, which made me choke with tears and runny nose.

He threw the bamboo tube at the group of wild cats, and immediately the group of wild cats ran away like crazy. In less than half a stick of incense, they escaped without a trace.

This thing is so awesome!
