Chapter 10 Bayberry Trees
Yan Ming took a sip of water to suppress his shock, he got up from the ground, walked to the chair and sat down.
He touched his pocket and took out all the contents inside, a total of four Rokjia fire talismans and a spirit pen.
The four fire talismans were all drawn by himself, plus the one he used before, the five fire talismans cost him fifty merit points, and now there are fifty left in the system.
This was all earned by completing Chen Tian's tasks before.
Looking at the few things he had, Yan Ming was a little melancholy.
After the last incident, he found that his fire talisman did not pose any threat to the powerful obsession spirit at all.
The only useful spirit pen has to be hand-to-hand combat.
Lu Kexin had already taught him a great lesson, according to the introduction of the system at that time, Lu Kexin belonged to the red-clothed demon, and her ability was illusion, but she had never used this ability from beginning to end at that time.
If she used it, Yan Ming might not even have a chance to get close to the other party.
So he had to make himself stronger.
Yan Ming opened the system mall and looked at the dazzling array of goods inside.
[Ventilation Charm]: It can make the intestinal airflow of the organism gush out. Price 30 merit points.
[Three Thunder Talismans]: Can summon thunder and lightning. Price: 100 merit points.
[Disposable Peachwood Sword]: It has the ability to kill obsession spirits, and can only be used once. Price: 50 merit points.
[Divine Wood Bundle Spirit Talisman]: It can bind living beings for three minutes. Price: 100 merit points.
Yan Ming's gaze lingered on the disposable peachwood sword.
The cheaper talismans in the system, except for the Liujia fire talisman, most of them basically exceed fifty merit points, and the few cheap talismans are mostly chicken ribs, just like the ventilation talisman.
To put it nicely, it's called a ventilation charm, but in fact, the ability is used to fart.
Yan Ming thought that when he was fighting with the obsession spirit, he shook his hand with a ventilation charm, and the picture was really tasteful.
However, the peachwood sword is a good choice, although it can only be used once, but it is an additional means.
Just as Yan Ming was about to buy a peachwood sword, there was a knock at the door.
"Please come in"
Yu Qing pushed open the door and walked in.
"Why are you here?" Yan Ming said.
Yu Qing sat beside him, "Come and invite you to go around with me"
"On a date?"
"What do you think?"
"I think so"
"It's you big-headed ghost" Yu Qing slapped Yan Ming's head, and he covered his head and screamed in pain.
"Just say it, what are you doing beating me?"
"Oh, I'd love to"
“......”
Then Yan Ming was dragged out of the room by Yu Qing, and when he went out, he happened to meet Zhao Fanda, he smiled at Yan Ming, and said a few words, as if he didn't take Yan Ming's beating of his brother-in-law to heart.
——
There are not many people living near Zhao's house, and there are only about a dozen households, most of which live in small bungalows like Zhao Fanda's house.
Along the way, a big word was written on the wall of the house on the side of the road.
Obviously, this area is going to be demolished, so many residents have already moved out.
The remaining families are also about to move out.
Under a big tree, several old people were enjoying the cool air, they were already full of gray hair, and the older ones were already on crutches.
Yu Qing walked up and asked a few old people, "Grandpa, I want to ask you about something."
An old man with a strong body said with a smile: "Little girl, what do you want to inquire about?"
"About the Zhao family"
The old man who was still smiling lost his smile in an instant, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Little girl, the affairs of the Zhao family are evil, you must not go anywhere."
"Grandpa, what kind of evil law is that, can you tell us?" Yu Qing squatted beside the old man, looking at the old man with a pair of big eyes full of curiosity.
The old man still refused, but he couldn't stand Yu Qing's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and pleaded coquettishly.
"Little girl, in fact, Wei Xiufen of the Zhao family is also a hard-working person."
The old man talked about Zhao Fanda's mother.
Zhao Fanda's mother is Wei Xiufen, her husband died early, and she raised the child alone, leaving early and returning late every day, just to support her family.
Zhao Fanda was also very competitive, was admitted to a prestigious school, and even entered a good company after graduation.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and just as the days were gradually getting better, Wei Xiufen, who was overworked because of her youth, was paralyzed in bed.
Zhao Fanda also spent a huge amount of medical expenses for this, and because of his mother, he was very anxious every day, so that there were always problems at work, and he was finally fired.
Fortunately, Wei Xiufen has a virtuous daughter-in-law who takes care of her every day, and has always served her wholeheartedly and worked hard.
"I heard that Wei Xiufen has a very bad relationship with her daughter-in-law, is that true?" Yan Ming asked.
The old man nodded, "The relationship was really not good at the beginning, Wei Xiufen didn't like her daughter-in-law at all, and said that her daughter-in-law was a shameless prodigal all day long."
"Why did she say that?" said Yu Qing.
An old man next to him interjected: "Because her daughter-in-law always likes to go out and fool around, she often doesn't come home at night."
"But later, after Wei Xiufen was paralyzed, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a little better, after all, the daughter-in-law took care of her every day, and no matter how much she didn't like it, she would gradually recognize it in her heart."
After chatting with the old man for a long time, Yan Ming and Yu Qing said goodbye to them.
Stepping on the hard cement road, Yan Ming stared ahead, and there were only two people on the secluded road, he and Yu Qing.
The white clouds were long, the breeze was gusting, and the two walked slowly like this.
A gust of wind ruffled her blue hair, and she reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
The afternoon sun was not so beautiful, the hot sun made people sweat, thin beads of sweat appeared on Yu Qing's forehead, and her white face was slightly red.
The two walked back to Zhao's house, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard a rattle bell.
The Divine Dragon Daoist held a peachwood sword in one hand and a bell in the other, and there were words in his mouth.
Taoist priest Jingyun was next to the Shenlong Dao Chief.
The tacit understanding of the two is concerned, and from the perspective of Yan Ming, a layman, these two people really have a little bit of everything.
Xiao Longshan, who was beaten by Yan Ming, sat crooked and sat on a chair, he saw that Yan Ming was back, and glared at Yan Ming angrily, but there was no follow-up.
Yan Ming, who was still worried about Xiao Longshan's blackmail, was also relieved to see this, this Xiao Longshan looked tall and big, but in fact, he was a coward who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard.
Yan Ming and Yu Qing randomly found a place to rest, and at the same time watched the Divine Dragon Dao Master's actions.
I saw that the head of the Shenlong Dao had a strong wine in his mouth and sprayed it into a white candle, and in an instant, the flame started.
Time was gradually passing, and soon the Dharma of the Divine Dragon Dao Master was completed.
Xiao Longshan struggled to get up from the chair, with a smile on his face, and bowed reverently: "Thank you for the master's work to keep my brother-in-law safe."
"Hey, Master Xiao doesn't have to be polite" Shenlong Daoist helped him up, "Master Zhao"
"What's the matter with the Dao Chief?" Zhao Fanda said.
"The evil in this place has been suppressed by me, but this can only cure the symptoms and not the root cause, and there may be evil spirits tonight, so the poor road needs to stay here for some more time."
Zhao Fanda thanked: "The Taoist chief is willing to stay and help, so he is naturally grateful."
"Speaking of which, Master Zhao also has a good brother-in-law, if it weren't for Lord Xiao begging me to come out of the mountain, Poor Dao would not be willing to take care of worldly things," Shenlong Dao said with a smile.
Hearing what the Taoist chief said, Zhao Fanda also showed gratitude to his brother-in-law.
Xiao Longshan suddenly shifted the topic to Yan Ming, who was yawning aside, "The Taoist chief has worked hard, unlike some people, who only know how to cheat and cheat, if it weren't for the light of others, he would have been kicked out long ago."
Xiao Longshan's voice was not small, and everyone present could hear it.
Yan Ming looked at Yu Qing and said, "Eldest sister, that kid is obviously talking about you, can you bear it?" Anyway, I can't bear it, beat him"
Xiao Longshan pointed at Yan Ming and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is talking about you, and the water will lead to the east."
"Oh, that's talking about me" Yan Ming came to his senses, smiled and walked towards Xiao Longshan.
Xiao Longshan, who had only suffered a loss in Yan Ming's hands before, hurriedly retreated, and now the place where he was beaten by Yan Ming still hurts, and he didn't dare to fight with Yan Ming at all.
"You, what are you doing, back away, don't come near me" Xiao Longshan, who was in a panic, fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
"I'm just here to care about you," Yan Ming leaned into Xiao Longshan's ear and whispered: "Don't heal the scar and forget the pain"
After speaking, Yan Ming helped him up, and kindly patted the dust off his body for Xiao Longshan, "Why is Brother Xiao so careless, how old is he, and he can still fall"
Xiao Longshan looked at Yan Ming angrily, he clenched his fists, and when he got better, he must teach Yan Ming a lesson.
This revenge is not a gentleman.
——
Yan Ming sat under the bayberry tree in the courtyard, and he looked up at the fruit on the tree.
Zhao Fanda walked out of the house and came to Yan Ming's side.
"Xiao Yan, I apologize to you for Long Shan's rude words to you" Zhao Fanda's tone was apologetic.
Yan Ming couldn't cry or laugh, "Brother Zhao, I hit your brother-in-law, and I am the one who should apologize, why did you apologize to me instead?"
Zhao Fanda stretched out his hand to pluck two bayberry from the tree and handed one to Yan Ming, "If it weren't for Longshan provoking you, you wouldn't have backhanded, so it's no wonder you, it can be regarded as his own recruitment."
Yan Ming wiped the bayberry with his clothes, and when he bit it, the sour bayberry made his teeth numb, and at the same time, there was also a sweet taste in the sourness, and he was full of mouth.
"This bayberry is very delicious, much better than the ones on the market," Yan Ming said.
Zhao Fanda said with a smile: "This bayberry tree was planted by my mother when I was ten years old, and I liked to eat bayberry at that time, so my mother planted a few bayberry seeds in the soil of the yard.
She told me that when the bayberry is ripe, you can eat it every day, so I look forward to the bayberry tree growing up quickly every day. ”
"It's just that I didn't know at the time that it takes seven to ten years for a bayberry tree to go from seed to fruit, and when the bayberry tree can bear fruit, I don't like to eat bayberry so much. ”
A leaf fell from the tree and slowly landed on Zhao Fanda's shoulder.
