Chapter 630: Paid Help
It is strange that in a time of great joy, the good ones hear crying and scolding.
The three of them looked at each other, and then walked towards the sound.
I didn't go far before I found the source of the sound in a secluded corner outside the crowd.
Seven or eight young and strong immortals, surrounded by a half-grown boy who looked like a mortal man of twelve or thirteen years old, were gossiping, pulling and pulling. Looking at their expressions and movements, some seemed to be scolding the boy, while others were trying to persuade him.
The boy squatted on the ground with a snake in his arms, and while crying, he intermittently replied to his scolders.
The three frowned at this.
"Bullying the small with the big, and bullying the little with the more, this is too tasteless!" Hongni scolded in a low voice, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush forward.
But Qu Yi raised his arm to stop him: "Don't worry, let's listen to the reason first." ”
"Well, maybe there's a misunderstanding, let's see. "Luochen Yuan can't see bullying, but when he sees a group of people who seem to dress similarly and behave like familiar people, he feels that it may just be an accidental discord between the same door, so he is not in a hurry to interfere.
Hongni looked at the two of them, and saw that the boy was not punched and kicked, so he reluctantly endured it.
The three of them were separated by a distance, and watched for the time being.
When I was young, I learned that a group of people, including the boy, had formed a team to participate in the Flying Snake Competition.
Compared with some well-trained and well-organized teams of the same sect, it is not easy for this patchwork team to reach the finals, and it is really worth thanking.
It has been good, but unexpectedly, the first time to participate, less than the experience of the boy, only to see a flying snake fall to the ground tragic death, trance this final is not as good as the preliminary, semi-finals, a moment afraid of the grim situation, reluctant to carry the baby, this is the intention of withdrawing from the game.
There is a limit to the number of participants and the flying snake for each team. Even considering the accumulation of games, it is allowed to carry dead and injured substitutes, which also has requirements and ceilings.
His sudden pick-up meant that the whole team immediately lost a competition.
Seeing that he finally reached the finals, and the chance to win the championship was ahead, this was tantamount to a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle for teammates who had the heart to fight for it, and naturally they couldn't agree.
A quarrel ensued.
The three of them understood the reason, and they really didn't know whether to take care of this idle matter.
As far as they are concerned, this so-called Flying Snake Contest is actually a bunch of immortals who don't eat and can't starve to death. Especially this final, it can even be said to be cruel.
However, since it is a local custom, it has been recognized by the public, and it is easy for outsiders to put their beaks at will.
The boy is pitiful, but for the same team, it is really a breach of the contract.
If they want to help the boy speak, it is equivalent to forcing a whole team to give up this critical kick, which seems to be unreasonable. bluntly saying that there are many inappropriateness in the Flying Snake Contest is tantamount to provoking the customs of Ten Thousand Snake City and deliberately offending the anger of the public......
Not to mention that you should do what you can as a person, but only say that the reason why the three of you appear here is because there are a few people waiting to save your life behind you...... Judging the situation, I don't think it's appropriate to meddle with this matter.
Anyway, it seems to be a little disturbing.
"Let them play as usual, and I'll keep him alive. ”
The three of them were hesitating, when they suddenly heard a word interjected.
turned his head to look, but it was the skinny fairy who changed hands to the red mud and bought the "VIP seat".
It may have been taken advantage of the intermission to slip to the neighborhood.
Skipping the greetings, Luochen asked her, "What does the fairy mean?" Fang Cai's words were unclear, and I really didn't understand them.
"Like people, many skills are not pressing. When I teach it life-saving skills, I will naturally be not afraid of this hundred-foot high cliff. The fairy said, stuffing something into Luochen's hand and turning around, "Think about it, follow it to find me." ”
The three of them were still confused, and the other party was far away.
Luochen raised his hand to see, but it was a golden cicada.
After smacking and touching the fairy's words, I finally understood that she was talking about letting the boy take the flying snake to her to learn art urgently, and then continue to participate in the competition if her life was guaranteed.
Red Clay couldn't help but mutter, "What a weirdo." Since you have the heart to solve the siege, why don't you go by yourself? Let Ben Daxian be the messenger and errand runner for her!"
Regardless of the temperament of the fairy, Luochen felt that for the moment, her suggestion could be called timely rain, which was much better than letting the three of them continue to be in a dilemma and not be able to help.
Then he went to the place where he was shouting and calmed down the quarrel.
Although someone was willing to help, the boy still refused to rest assured when he heard that he still wanted to continue to participate in the competition. Others, on the other hand, seem to be suspicious of this temporary training.
It is not easy to fall into the dust.
Fortunately, it finally made sense.
Then the golden cicada led the way, and the three of them took the boy, and the boy held his baby flying snake, and walked with half of his teammates to find the fairy.
Almost turning along the mountain road, walking to a barren territory far from the competition area, the golden cicada suddenly flapped its wings on the spot and stopped moving forward.
Luochen thought that this was the place, so he called the fairy.
But the fairy was invisible.
It seems that there is some displeasure for such a group of people who have come: "Idle retreat, leave the snake behind." ”
Although the flying snake is used to "fall", it is really hard-won. Especially for the contestants, it is comparable to life/root for a while.
She only cares about being concise and to the point, but she doesn't expect her words to fall into the ears of others, but it is very easy for people to misunderstand.
Don't say that the boy, even his teammates, are also vigilant. I'm afraid that I met a liar who came to deceive the flying snake, and even with the eyes that looked at the three of them, I was a little unkind.
The three of them also muttered, and discussed with her in the voice, "Can you let the master stay with you?"
The other party was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "You come over first." ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who she was calling.
But when he saw the golden cicada, he circled up and down twice in front of him, signaling him to follow it.
The dust then walked, and it led the way.
Within a few steps, as soon as you enter the shade of the tree, you will enter the hidden place of the fairy.
As soon as the other party saw him, he blurted out: "There are some things that I want to say afterwards." Since they are so petty, it is better to be villains first and then gentlemen. ”
Luochen heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegance, and asked her: "The fairy is so busy, but he doesn't plan to help in vain?"
"Hmm. The other party did not hide it and nodded calmly. Then he clarified his true meaning, "If they can win the championship by luck, they need to allow me to go to White Maiden Island with me." ”
Luochen's heart moved.
Then he listened to the other man, "I do not want to have any more quarrels with them, but you will consult with them later, and if you do, let the boy stay, and I will domesticate the flying snake for him." If not, then do it, and there should be no such thing. ”
