Chapter 7 The Wildfire in the Grassland
Lei Qin originally insisted on going with us, but after Qin Ke's repeated persuasion, she still agreed to stay at home.
I said to Leiqin, "Because we are going to steal sheep, didn't Qin Ke just say that the sheep thief will be driven away... Since that's the case, let them not find any evidence..."
Leichen asked me, "What does this mean?"
I said, "You and Wei are preparing firewood and salt at home. Kill all the sheep we stolen tonight, smoke them all overnight and clean them up. Even if they suspect us, they will not find any evidence. At worst, you can say that the meat was smoked by you before..."
Qin Ke smiled and said, "Good solution!"
Leichen nodded in agreement.
After discussing everything, I was going to go to the grass to stroll around. The place where I had been lying here for two years was a very strange place, and I had to take the time to get familiar with it.
At night, Qin Ke found me a black cotton jacket. There was no place to hide in the grass. If I were wearing white pieces, I would be seen at a glance.
Qin Ke and I both changed into black cotton jackets, and when the night completely fell, we were ready to leave.
Qin Ke and Wei found a lot of dry firewood and dry grass in the afternoon and formed a temporary baking table, just waiting for Qin Ke and I to come back tonight.
Just in case, I still brought Nepali jun1 dao with me. With this familiar jun1 dao, I feel everything is very down-to-earth.
The necklace given to me by Mi Hu also returned to my neck. In fact, I sometimes think that this necklace may be like my amulet, which can always make me safe in times of crisis. It may be because of the will of God in the dark, and it must return to Mi Hu’s parents.
On the night of the grassy field, you don’t have to see your five fingers. As long as it is not too far, you can still vaguely see the situation ahead. Although there is no moon, the faint light is enough for Qin Ke and I to identify the road.
Qin Ke walked in front, and before he could walk far, I asked her: "How far is Sidu Ahua's home from here?"
Qin Ke said: "Not far, twenty minutes! It's about one or two kilometers."
Although I don't know how big this grass is, judging from the sparse tents scattered like stars during the day, there are at least dozens of families on this grass.tqr1
Qin Ke walked in front, and I followed her quietly.
The grass at night seems very empty and quiet. You can only hear the sound of cows crying from afar, and... occasionally, the howlings of wolves come from outside the mountain.
Qin Ke suddenly said, "Well, can you talk to me?"
"say what?"
"You walked behind me and heard the rustling sound behind me. It was a big night, I was quite scared!"
"Yeah... OK, say something..."
"ah!"
Before I could finish my words, Qin Ke suddenly screamed. Her scream also scared my legs and my whole body trembled.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" I asked hurriedly.
Qin Ke's breathing became rapid: "Have you seen anything in front of you?"
"What?" What else is there in front of me except you?
Qin Ke pointed ahead: "I just saw flames beating!"
"What? You didn't joke with me, are you?" Even if it's ghost fire, this is not summer.
But when I just said this, I also saw the flames that Qin Ke mentioned.
Because it was night, I couldn't tell how far the flame was from us, but it was indeed a flame, a purple-red flame.
The flame in front of me jumped gently, and after a while, it went out, and after a while, it lit up again.
At this moment, a wolf howl came from the edge of the grass, and the cold wind whizzed by, making people shudder.
Qin Ke may have been a little nervous, so he took off the short knife she brought out from his waist and held it in his hand.
I asked, "Can someone be there?"
Qin Ke said: "How come someone comes out at night in this big grassland? It's such a cold day... Besides, even if there are people, he can't have any problems. He will blow out the fire and ignite it again later?"
I sighed, "Maybe it's because the wind is too strong on the grass..."
Qin Ke didn't say anything anymore, and I said, "I'll go ahead... Just tell me how to go!"
Qin Ke said: "Let's walk ahead."
I nodded: "Okay."
The flame was extinguished again, and this time, it didn't ignite again for a long time.
I actually felt curious and wanted to go over and see what was going on.
But when I thought about the purpose of my coming out today, I still gave up this idea.
Qin Ke and I walked forward for two more minutes. This time, the flames lit up again.
"It's bright again!" Qin Ke pointed ahead with a trembling voice.
Strangely, we walked for a while, and the position of the flame still seemed so far. Is it moving too?
At this moment, suddenly the front became brighter, and the second flame lit up again, then, third, fourth, fifth...
In the end, dozens of flames lit up at the same time!
"What...what is going on?" This time I was also scared, because the flames looked like they were floating in the air. If someone was holding a torch, Qin Ke and I would not be able to see either of us.
At this moment, I remembered the ghost blowing lights I had seen before. In my impression, did the supernatural incident also start from the grassland?
We also encountered a supernatural event?
Qin Ke is a very calm woman, and she is not calm at this time: "Or... let's go somewhere else!"
I shook my head: "In this way, tell me the location of Si Du's family. I'll go alone, and you go back first. I can't let your two benefactors hungry..."
"Benefactor..." Qin Ke murmured: "I...how can I go back alone?"
As she said that, she added: "How can I let you go alone?"
Actually, you needless to say, I know, you are alone, don’t you dare to go back?
I didn't answer and continued to look forward.
This time the flame lit up for a long time and did not go out, and it actually formed a circle.
I said, "Why don't we go and see what's going on over there?"
Qin Ke hurriedly said, "No, no, no...don't go!"
I smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Qin Ke snorted and said, "Haven, very creepy..."
"Okay, then don't go!"
I continued to walk forward, Qin Ke was helpless. She must be very conflicted at this time, and she didn't dare to continue walking forward, and she didn't dare to go back alone, so she could only follow me.
After we walked for a while, the flames went out.
Qin Ke said in shock: "It's destroyed!"
I smiled bitterly and said, "If you destroy it, you will destroy it. Don't make a fuss, you want to scare me..."
But at this moment, a burst of ethereal crying came from the front!
