As soon as he walked out of the door, Dongxiang Zhong's feet began to get tangled, and he stepped forward one step in the air and one on the ground.
Du Fei didn't expect Dongxiang Zhongbi, who seemed to have a strong drink capacity, to be so drunk, so he had to hold him firmly and move forward with difficulty. At this moment, the owner of the small restaurant chased him out.
Du Fei looked very strange when he saw that he was hesitant to speak. So he asked: "Boss, didn't I pay you for the food and wine?"
"You are foreigners, and you don't look like heinous people. I have to warn you," the gray-haired restaurant owner looked around and said quietly: "There will be a fork in front of you, please two
Be sure to go east and don't take the wrong road, which is a dead end!"
"Oh, that's right." Du Fei smiled and said to him, "Thank you, boss! We will pay attention to it!"
Just as Du Fei was about to move forward, the old man stopped them again, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it.
"Old man, don't be afraid, just say whatever you want. We are both warriors, nothing can scare us!"
The old man closed his eyes suddenly as if he had made up his mind: "Master warrior, I see that you are a forthright person, so I will take the risk to tell you something today. The woods ahead are not peaceful. You'd better do it."
Let’s go in after the fog clears!”
"Why is this?" Du Fei asked doubtfully: "Are there bandits in front of us? It's okay! Even if there are dozens or hundreds of them, the two of us can't defeat them!"
Hearing Du Fei's heroic words after being drunk, the old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it's really a bandit, there's nothing to be afraid of. The most he wants is your money, and the worst he can do is kill you~~~
~But that’s not the case at all. There are usually two forked roads in the woods ahead, one is a living path and the other is a dead end! If you go to the dead end, you have to go back again. But every time there is heavy fog in the woods, the forked roads inside will
It becomes three! Only one of them is real and the other two, no matter which one you walk on, will be devoured by the monsters inside without even leaving any bones."
"Old man, are you kidding me? It's broad daylight!" If he were an ordinary person, he might be so frightened when he heard these things that he wouldn't dare to move forward. But Du Fei has experienced too many weird things. In Middle-earth,
I have seen too many supernatural ghosts, so I don’t care about them.
"Don't listen to this old man's nonsense! I am a native of Kyushu! How come I haven't heard of this legend? Do you want us to live here so that we can make money?" At this time, Dongxiang's position was suddenly restored.
With a little sanity, he mounted the horse unsteadily: "As a disciple of Duanshui Shui, do you think I would be afraid of such a lame story?"
"Haha, I just advise you out of good intentions, just leave your own legs and do whatever you want!" The old man sighed, shook his head and went back to the dilapidated restaurant.
"That old man is just a liar! Don't believe him! Let's go!" Dongxiang Zhongbit whipped his riding whip! His horse was so startled that it raised its front hooves and neighed, then galloped forward.
Du Fei had no choice but to follow him as soon as he saw it.
Although the Shimazu family's pursuit of Kitakyushu has come to an end, he still wants to go to Minami Kyushu to learn about the local customs, special products and power distribution, so that he can develop calmly in the next step.
The two of them ran for a while in the woods, and suddenly Du Fei shouted and stopped Dongxiang Zongbit!
At this time, Dongxiang's Jiu Jin was already half awake from the jolting ride. He looked at Du Fei, who was turning blue, in confusion: "What's wrong? Your face looks weird!"
"We seem to be going in circles!" Du Fei rode up to a towering tree and said, "I remember this tree! We have been here, more than once!"
Dongxiang's face flushed and he smiled: "How is it possible that you are really frightened by that old liar's words? Don't worry! I have to do it five or six times while walking, and it will never happen.
Wrong!"
"Then have you ever walked through heavy fog? When you usually walk through, are there really two forks in the road?" Du Fei looked at him with bright eyes.
"It's true that there are two roads, but the other road is just impassable. I took the wrong one once. There was only a shabby thatched hut at the end with nothing in it! That so-called '
The legend of "Little Dou Po'" is completely false! It's definitely not true!" Although Dongxiang Shige's mouth was very strong, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily when he said the three words "Little Dou Po"
!The sweat on his face kept dripping to the ground like broken beads.
It seemed that Dongxiang Shigeki knew the secret here. Du Fei had been observing his reaction carefully. It seemed that the 'little Dou Po' he was talking about seemed to be a very scary existence.
"Brother Dongxiang! Do you regard me as your brother? If so, tell me everything you know quickly, don't hide it in your heart!" Du Fei couldn't help shouting when he saw his dazed look.
Dongxiang then embarrassedly told the story of ‘Little Dou Po’.
It turns out that there used to be a family in this forest. This family had a boy, a girl, and a four or five-year-old child. Originally, the man farmed and the woman weaved, and they were self-sufficient and isolated from the world.
However, several nearby wild samurai groups fell in love with this piece of land. They attacked and killed each other in the woods. The male owner of this family accidentally encountered the two warring parties and was accidentally hacked to death by them.
When the head of the family dies, the life of the remaining orphans and widows becomes difficult. War, natural disasters, and robbery by bandits make the life of the hostess and children so miserable that they can hardly survive.
In order to prevent the child from starving to death, the hostess began to sell her sex to the men who came and went, and all she got in exchange was just enough money to live on for her and the child.
So she received all kinds of men every day, including soldiers, bandits, and all kinds of traffickers and lackeys.
Finally one day, in order to collect prostitution money from a deadbeat, she was cut into two pieces by the man!
From then on, the woods here began to become strange and unpredictable. The thatched cottage where she and her children lived was once burned down by bandits, but then it appeared inexplicably again!
It's even more eerie and terrifying on foggy days! People often plunge into the forest in the fog and never come out again. It's said that the hostess's resentment turned into a terrible monster, killing the men who passed by and cutting their flesh into pieces.
Cut off pieces in order to feed his hungry children.”
Dongxiang Zhongwei, who was dizzy just now, rushed into the woods with Jiu Jin. However, due to the bumps of his horse after entering, he woke up a little from Jiu Jin. When he saw where he was, he was scared out of his wits!
He never told Du Fei for the sake of face, fearing that Du Fei would laugh at him. He just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to fall into a mist as soon as he entered!
At this time, he said helplessly: "I'm sorry, brother, I caused trouble by drinking and harmed you."
