Lanke Chess Edge

The tiny black shadow under the wings kept wriggling, as if struggling without giving up the plan to escape. The little paper crane pressed it for a while, then tilted its head to one side to peek at the things under the wings. After watching for a long time, it suddenly let go of a wing , and then fanned down and slapped hard.

After taking seven or eight shots in a row, the little paper crane tilted its head down again to look at the little black shadow under its wings. The thing that was not much bigger than eye droppings stopped moving. Only now did the little paper crane let go of its wings, revealing its head like a flea Like a little monster.

At this time, there was some new movement in the direction of the kitchen in the house, and a slightly suppressed smile, as well as the sound of chewing and swallowing could be heard obviously.

The little paper crane raised its head and looked in the direction of the kitchen. After a blurred and hazy light on the head changed, the part above the neck turned into a lifelike crane head, but it was too small.

"Chirp beep..."

A soft cry of a crane came from the mouth of the little paper crane, and the bustling voices in the kitchen suddenly quieted down.

The little paper crane grabbed the little monster with its beak, then flapped its wings and flew up again, flew to the kitchen of the house, and then got in through the gap between the eaves and the wall.

With a sound of "squeak~", the kitchen door was opened, and the elderly man surnamed Li leaned out holding a candlestick and looked into the courtyard.

"Father, did you see anything?" "Yes, Uncle Li, what was that sound just now?"

The old man squinted his eyes and looked around at the candlelight, but he didn't see anything.

"It sounds like some bird chirping. Maybe some bird was so hungry that it fell into the yard in spring. It's okay. It must not be a person."

"That's good, let's go and go back to eat."

A few people went back to the kitchen with peace of mind. The old man closed the door after looking at the yard again, as long as he was not noticed and did not attract others' envy.

There were a total of nine people in the kitchen, and they were eating and drinking together around a large table for eight people. They were obviously in a good mood. The food and drinks were hot, and there was still a charcoal fire in the kitchen, making them very warm.

The little paper crane still landed on the beam of the kitchen, staring at the people below very seriously. Although he didn't ignore the small details of everyone, he focused on observing five objects, and those four came from the tunnel. The person who came up and the old man.

When he saw the leader of the four scratching his back at least a dozen times but it was still not enough, the little paper crane also stretched out its wings to scratch his back, but it was very relaxed, and suddenly felt nothing Interested, and the atmosphere below is getting more and more enthusiastic.

"Hey, I said, you four smell too strong! Come on, do it."

"Hahahaha, I haven't taken off my shoes yet, it's even worse if I take them off! Do you want me to take them off now?"

"Don't, don't, let's eat!"

"Hahahahaha..." "Your feet are not much better!"

The old man drank the wine in his glass, scratched his right hand with his left hand, and said with emotion.

"After Er Shunzi and the others come back this time, we can live in peace in the future."

"Yeah, but Uncle Li, old Li still said to prepare as much as possible."

"What? The battle is really bad? Isn't it all a big victory?"

The four of them fell silent, and the originally lively atmosphere cooled down a bit, and then the leading man spoke.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard that the troops in front of us died a lot of people, and those immortal masters are quite scary."

"Yes, yes, yes, some immortal masters say they are immortal masters, but this is not a legendary fairy, it is not like a human..."

"Hush..."

"It's so far away, what are you afraid of? The two who came back to the camp looked like skeletons. They looked at me and gave me a nightmare all night. I dreamed that I was covered with bugs, oops , that's scary..."

"Hahaha, well, don't talk about it, it made me panic, eat and eat, anyway, I'll be back after a while, let them call!"

"Yes yes yes! Drink!"

"Come on, do it!"

...

After looking at it for a while, the little paper crane turned its head and turned to look out of the kitchen window. It seemed that it heard some other sound, and it flew out with a swish. The people who were eating and drinking in the kitchen didn't notice it.

When Ji Yuan first came to Nandao County, he felt that it was quite chaotic here. It’s not a good thing to have an authentic home like Lao Li’s family. It’s better now, but it’s still limited. It’s because there are many restless people. They all followed the soldiers to fish for oil and water.

On the quiet street, there was a group of people lined up, moving quickly along the side of the street, their steps were quick and silent, each with a weapon on their back or waist.

The little paper cranes chased slowly in the air, and saw the group of people driving for half an hour, and finally arrived near the government office, and jumped into a courtyard with lanterns.

Then there were short screams and fighting sounds from inside, but they didn't last long, and it soon quieted down.

Following the sound, the little paper cranes also flew into the courtyard. Inside was the prison of Nandao County. Two officials were already lying down at the door of the prison. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and they flew into the dark prison. The stench mingled with blood.

"Brother, how are you?" "Brother! How did you become like this!"

"Brother - those sons of bitches, I want to kill them all!"

The depressing and painful voices of several men came from inside. The little paper crane flew to the depths of the cell, grabbed the top and looked down. In that cell, there was a man in ragged clothes, covered in blood and abscesses lying on his back. On the bed, there was a burst of stench, which was extremely exaggerated in this prison.

"You! How dare you attack our elder brother so cruelly!"

A man in black grabbed a man dressed as an official, his fingers tightened around his neck like iron clamps, making the officer's face turn red and it was difficult to breathe.

"Brother, please forgive me, uncle, villain, the villain really never made things difficult for Master Xu, Master Xu is a frontline hero, the villain dare not..."

"Hmph, open the door quickly, open it quickly!"

The man slammed the jailer on the cell door with a "bang".

"Cough cough cough... cough cough... yes, the villain obeyed, please forgive me and let me live, I really didn't make things difficult for Xu..."

The jailer untied the key chain from his waist slightly tremblingly, rummaged through one by one and found one of them, but the iron lock on the prison door could not be opened. The jailer was sweating profusely. Apologize again and again.

"Who, who is outside... Yes, it's Desheng... Is it you..."

Suddenly there was a hoarse voice in the cell, and the people who were motionless seemed to wake up at this moment, and the group of men outside suddenly became more excited.

"Brother!" "Brother, it's us, we're here to save you!"

"Brother, the brothers are late and made you suffer!"

The people in the cell struggled to raise their heads, and through their loose hair, they could see a group of people in the candlelight outside, as well as the jailer with a knife around his neck opening the lock.

With a sound of "click~", the lock finally opened.

"Master, the lock is unlocked, I uh..."

Before the jailer finished speaking, he was stabbed across the chest, back and back, and fell down slowly with pain, fear and unwillingness.

The rest of the men tore off the entangled iron chains by themselves, and were about to open the door to enter the cell, but the men inside became agitated.

"Don't...don't come in! Don't come in at all!"

The sudden raising of the voice made all the men outside stunned, a little at a loss.

"Brother, it's us!" "Brother, we are here to save you!"

The man inside propped up his body, stretched out his hands, and gasped.

"I know, I know, but, don't come in, go, go as far as possible, burn this cell, burn, burn me to death! Something is drilling my heart, liver, spleen and lungs... I, I don't know What is it, burn it, burn it here..."

"Brother, don't talk about it, let's go first, and you will be discovered in a while!"

"Yes, take the elder brother away first!"

The few people didn't say anything more, and they didn't dislike the thick water and smell on the prisoner's body at all. They entered the cell and picked up the man inside and left.

The little paper crane followed them out of the cell, and after continuing to follow for a while, flapped its wings and hesitated in the air, then flew directly to the outside of the city, heading straight for the direction where Ji Yuan was.

...

At this moment, Ji Yuan has already fallen asleep, perhaps because of the dream-walking technique he created, even though he doesn't often dream with his mind, sometimes he still has the feeling of seeing distant mountains in his dreams. And very real.

Ordinary people feel real in their dreams because they don't know they are dreaming, but Ji Yuan can practice in dreams, and it is even more special to feel real occasionally. Sometimes Ji Yuan deliberately seeks this feeling.

While Ji Yuan was soundly asleep, the little paper crane flapped its wings and flew towards the mound quickly. Jin Jia, who had been sitting cross-legged under the stone, did not turn his head or raise his head, but only rolled his eyes and glanced into the distance. It was the paper crane that flew over and there was no response.

The little paper crane lightly landed on the stone, gently pushed Ji Yuan's forehead with his wings, the latter opened his eyes slightly, looked at the paper crane in front of him with a pair of bright eyes like moonlight, and asked with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

After the dim change above the neck of the little paper crane, it turned into a lifelike red-capped crane head.

"Chirp beep..."

"Yo, will it make a sound?"

Ji Yuan sat up, looking very happy, but then the smile gradually disappeared, and his face became very serious, because the little paper crane spit out a small bug the size of eye droppings from its beak.
