48. Retaliation

Fang Qi himself felt a little embarrassed, but the feeling of being strangled, firmly suppressed, and the faint pain at the base of his tongue was too real.

Real is like real.

Hongyuan got up and walked to the side of the bed, brought his coat, and when he turned around, he looked back, Fang Qi was looking back and forth in the mirror, frowning and muttering whether he was dreaming or bumping into a ghost.

Although the cheeks and lips were swollen and stuffy, on the surface, there were no other suspicious signs except for a little red skin.

Is it a dream?

Fang Qi shuddered, he would rather hit a ghost, what would he think in his mind to have such a dream?!

Hongyuan looked at him with a bitter face, very entangled, and thought it was very interesting, leaning against the bed rail and looking at it for a long time, before taking a deep breath, suppressing the throbbing of the comeback, and walking over and touching his lower back.

Fang Qi looked down and saw that Hongyuan brought his coat, took it casually and put it on, and waited to tie his belt. Hongyuan unfolded his palm and handed the melon seed kernel over again.

Fang Qi threw up the back of his neck, ate half of it, and squatted down again, holding the child's head with his left hand.

Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, the black shadow in front of him attacked, Fang Qi broke his mouth without looking, did not break it, and urged: "Open your mouth." ”

The child did so in a daze, and Fang Qi poured the remaining melon seeds into his mouth.

The two of them ate half of the melon kernels, and Fang Qi put the little platypus into the bamboo basket, and there was a small bamboo tube in the bamboo basket. The little guy sat in it with his legs open, his head resting on the bamboo tube, and he was sipping melon seeds like a little squirrel.

I think Hongyuan trained in the morning, and the little platypus quickly knocked open the melon seed shell, pulled the melon kernel into the bamboo tube, and then rolled the melon seed skin and ate it with relish.

Fang Qi felt that he didn't understand it very well......

The little platypus ate for a while, looked up, and saw that Fang Qi had not closed its lid, thinking that he wanted to eat melon seeds, so he raised the bamboo tube to him.

Fang Qi waved his hand, signaling that he would eat it later, and touched its head before closing the lid.

After taking all the things, Fang Qi opened the door and went downstairs to check out.

The chubby shopkeeper was crackling and settling accounts, Fang Qi put the door key on the counter, and looked at the stubby ten fingers, but he was very flexible and quick to play with the abacus. Fang Qi always had a thorn in his heart, and after thinking about it, he still asked unintentionally as if he was holding the counter, "Shopkeeper, have you ever had any strange things happen here?"

As soon as the words fell, the fat shopkeeper's hand on the abacus stopped, I don't know what to think, looked up at him, his eyes were about to fly out, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm fucking killing you! I, Liu Laosan, have opened a store for more than ten years, and nothing strange has ever happened! Are you looking for death?!"

Fang Qi was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unpleasant. The cunning nature of what he had just said was vague about the events. This so-called 'here' can refer to the inside of the inn, or it can refer to You'an City, depending on whether there are ghosts in people's hearts. If you have a weak heart, you will naturally be seated in the number, referring to the inn. If you have a clear conscience, you are referring to You'an City.

Look at the boss's reaction...... Shouldn't he have really hit a ghost in the past two days, right? Fang Qi snorted twice and wiped his mouth vigorously, he was really afraid of something, he retracted what he said before. Hit the ghost and dream, he chooses to dream!

I'd rather be responded to by myself than by others!

The shopkeeper must have been extremely evasive about this matter, and he just mentioned it, and the fat shopkeeper was in a hurry, and the voice of retortion was not small, and the people who were eating downstairs looked over. The shopkeeper's face became even more ugly, Fang Qise shrank a little, he didn't cultivate, and he dragged his family with his mouth, he definitely couldn't afford to offend the locals, and he was more worried about this matter than the shopkeeper, and couldn't help but secretly annoy that he just spoke without brains.

A good man can bend and stretch, Fang Qi didn't even want a deposit when he boarded, and he was about to run away with Hongyuan.

Who knew that he didn't pull it with his backhand, and when he turned around, the child stood fixedly in place, looking at the fat shopkeeper like a gloomy ghost and a fierce god, obviously separated by a layer of hats, but that vicious look seemed to have substance, which made people shudder.

The fat man seemed to be frightened, and his expression was a little frightened.

Fang Qi saw that the atmosphere was stagnant and stiffened, and slapped him with his backhand, which just dispersed the anger.

Hongyuan looked up at him with a wooden face.

Leaning over and hugging the child, Fang Qi said dryly: "The child is not sensible, don't be like him." Then he grabbed the man under his arm and rushed out.

Walking out of the door, a carriage stopped at the main entrance, Fang Qi flashed to the side with someone, avoiding the door, and also avoiding the sight of the fat shopkeeper, and put Hongyuan down.

Hongyuan straightened his clothes and said, "What are you running?" ”

"What if you don't run, and fight with someone? The two of us are here, and we don't know each other well, so we can't pinch it. Fang Qi's expression was stern, and he said seriously: "Hongyuan, remember what I said." Heroes don't suffer immediate losses. Where there is life, there is hope. If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run, and you will not be ashamed. ”

Hongyuan: "......"

As soon as he finished saying this, a person ran out of the cloth shop next to him and said, "This little brother, what strange things have happened?"

Fang Qi stood up and looked at him with a frown.

This person is lean and lean, with a pair of eyes shining with a thief's light, and he is born from the heart, and it is a little uncomfortable to look at this face.

Without waiting for him to answer, the thin man said: "This Liu Lao Santa is not a thing, he deserves retribution!"

As soon as he heard him, Fang Qi became slightly nervous, is there really a ghost?!

It turns out that this Liu Laosan loves money like his life, he is a miser, and he deducts his wages and money very much. A few years ago, I recruited a small worker called Erhu, the Erhu was only thirteen or fourteen years old, there was no father, just a widow, Xu is easy to bully, Liu Laosan is in arrears and does not pay, and does not let people go, it is purely a white messenger to call people. Later, the second tiger mother was sick, and the second tiger looked for the settlement salary of the shopkeeper to treat the mother, this Liu Laosan pushed and blocked the four, and did not give it for seven or eight days, but the second tiger mother got an emergency, and did not wait for the money to save the medicine, and it was soon gone.

The little worker has no other brothers and sisters, just this one mother, and there is only one lonely person left, who is young, and he didn't want to open it, so he hanged himself in the inn by the neck.

The neighbors all scolded Liu Laosan for not doing things authentically, and after the little worker died, he thought that he was resentful, and after a few days of trouble in the inn, the guests were so frightened that they didn't dare to come to the door. Liu Laosan had nothing to do, so he spent a lot of money to invite the Taoist cultivators of the Suyang faction to exorcise ghosts, and respectfully buried the two tigers and the two tiger mothers, and the matter came to an end.

The thin man looked at the inn full of customers next to him, and said sourly: "The business of the dead person is so good, and it is not too unlucky!

When Fang Qi heard this, he finally heard that this person was not an NPC who simply came to fight injustice and popular science, but an NPC who simply watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, because he was jealous.

The innkeeper wasn't a good bird, and neither was the one in front of him.

Fang Qi said with a subtle expression: "Isn't the resentful soul of the Second Tiger gone?"

The thin man glanced at him, as if he saw that he had no common language with him, cursed in a low voice, and flicked his sleeves away.

Fang Qi wiped his mouth, his heart should not be a ghost who made trouble with the second tiger, and then he didn't have time to continue to think about it, Fang Qi turned around in place and snorted, that is, ......

I just offended the shopkeeper, but his donkey hasn't been pulled out yet!

Fang Qi pulled Hongyuan and said nervously, "Our donkey!"

"The donkey is sold," Hongyuan took his thumb and signaled him not to panic, then pointed to the carriage at the door of the inn and said, "Take the carriage." ”

Fang Qi: ".................."

The day before yesterday, I hugged him to sleep, obviously I didn't use much strength, but when I woke up the next day, it hurt either here or there, this person's skin is delicate and expensive. Continue to ride the donkey to the Valley of a Thousand Corpses, not to mention the slow speed, I don't know how much sin I will suffer on the road, I am really afraid of breaking him up, so I simply changed the carriage.

Fang Qi didn't know when he became a fragile old man, looked at the child, looked at the carriage, walked over in disbelief, touched it, and opened the sedan curtain to look inside. The carriage was covered with a thick, soft futon with pillows and bedding, two soft stools, a low table, a few books, and a small basket in the corner with a lot of food.

There are staple foods for eating and filling the stomach, and there are also snacks for tooth sacrifices.

Fang Qi looked at the carriage indifferently, as well as the groom next to the carriage, and said indifferently: "Are you taking my money?" ”

Hongyuan: "......"

Fang Qi rummaged through the baggage, turned out a white cloth bag, hid it, opened it layer by layer, and sure enough, it was less than twenty taels.

Trembling his hand, he wrapped the silver ticket in cloth and stuffed it directly into his underwear, Fang Qi took a deep breath and said: "Hongyuan, although our family has a little money, it will be empty to sit and eat!

"Will you make money? No, I don't have the spare time, when are you going to change the carriage? We only have more than three hundred taels of silver, nearly thirty taels less in one breath, one-tenth of it......"

Hongyuan listened patiently and put a low mound at his feet.

“…… What should I do in the future? This doesn't mean that the matter will be over when I get to the Valley of a Thousand Corpses, and I will have to ask for money everywhere in the future! I can't be a ...... of the Moonlight Clan."

Hongyuan was confused when he heard this, just nodded, pushed him to stand on the low pier, Fang Qi moved his feet on the low pier, climbed into the carriage and climbed down again, and said: "This carriage was bought, where did you buy it?" I think we should retreat, it's too extravagant and wasteful......

Hongyuan's head was bigger, and he sighed with both hands supporting the carriage board, "The donkey is slow, the horse is bumpy, the carriage is comfortable and warm to sit on, you go up for me." ”

Fang Qi said: "Don't don't, don't don't think the donkey is slow, let's change the horse, the horse is fast, the horse is cheap, I'm not afraid of turbulence!"

"......" Hongyuan looked at him quietly for a moment and said, "I'm afraid." ”

I'm afraid I'll spoil you.

Fang Qi let out a long sigh, came back to his senses, scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said, "Forget and forget, are you afraid of turbulence? Yes, children's endurance is not as good as that of adults." Okay, okay, take the carriage, take the carriage, Hongyuan, you are doing well this time, you have to fight for what you want to do it yourself, do it yourself, do it yourself, good ...... Keep ......"

What did he say about Hongyuan, but he finally coaxed people up.

After getting into the carriage, a horsewhip sounded, and the horse ran with the cart, which was covered with thick cushions, only a little innocuous bump, which was much better than the carriage I sat in with Liu Chunyun last time. Although the temperature inside the car is not as warm as spring, it is not cold at all when you dry your hands outside.

Fang Qi looked around and touched it, thinking that this thing was done well, and the money was not spent at a loss.

The little platypus picked up the bamboo basket, opened the lid and staggered out of it, shook its big mouth, crawled into the corner and squatted, silently grinding its claws against the car wall, peeling melon seeds and peeling too much, and the tips of the claws were a little blunt!

Everything was on the carriage, Fang Qi checked what was in the small basket to eat, and the old Buddha sat next to him, looking at him with his arms crossed, comparing the size of the two, a little worried.

Looking at him from a child's perspective before, although he didn't feel majestic and burly, he didn't feel thin and short. It wasn't until the past few days that he looked at him again, how he looked so thin and pitiful, as if he needed to control his strength all the time, for fear of crushing people.

There were melons and fruits in the basket, as well as cooked meat and buns, and before breakfast, Fang Qi took a bun to eat, and then took a bite, and unexpectedly something fluttered on his lap.

Fang Qi lowered his head and looked, the child's hand was on his knee, slowly rubbing, Fang Qi said strangely: "What are you doing." ”

Hongyuan said: "Does it hurt?"

Fang Qiyun said in a fog: "What does it hurt, don't touch me, itchy." ”

Hongyuan withdrew his hand, thinking of the face of the innkeeper this morning, his eyes were dark, he changed his posture and said, "Why aren't you angry?"

Fang Qi's movements paused, almost driven crazy by his headless question, he took the bun from his mouth and said frantically: "Where do you have the preface to this posterior? What do I hurt, what kind of anger do I have? You can make it clear!"

Hongyuan kindly reminded implicitly: "When I was at the inn." ”

Fang Qi thought about it, and only after nine turns and eighteen turns did he guess what he was asking, was he angry when he talked to the fat boss in the inn today?

Fang Qi had long forgotten about that stubble to the clouds, and said with a smile: "I'm not so careful, I don't care about these, and I can't tell who is right or wrong in this matter, that boss is a thief, I am reckless, I can't speak with my brain, I accidentally reveal people's scars, and it is understandable that people are angry." But I have to tell you, your cousin in the inn today is very irrational, why are you staring at him, um? Like a little wolf dog, I don't think things are messy enough, if we really fight, we won't have the upper hand, we have to learn to judge the situation and respond to the situation. ”

Hongyuan lowered his eyes and didn't speak, and his heart was extremely depressed.

The little platypus finished grinding its claws, hooked the upper of the chessboard, landed on its hind paws, and put its two front paws on his legs, chirping.

Fang Qi tore a piece of bun skin for it, wrapped it in some stuffing, and the little platypus sat at his feet, holding a small half of the bun and eating it deliciously.

Fang Qi took two more buns for the child, Hongyuan took them and held them in his hand, Fang Qi stretched his neck and looked outside, the person who was driving the car outside was a simple middle-aged man, after thinking for a few seconds, Fang Qi crossed the child and said, "I'll go and send some buns to the coachman." ”

Hongyuan raised his hand to block him back, and said, "You just take care of yourself." ”

Fang Qi said embarrassedly: "How can we eat to make people hungry, the buns are enough to eat, I'll send two." ”

Hongyuan sighed and said, "I'll send it." ”

Lifting the thick sedan curtain, the child put the bun outside, and in the cold wind, the coachman seemed to say something, and Hongyuan retreated.

Fang Qi patted the top of the child's head to express his praise, and Hongyuan looked up and said, "I want to hear the story." ”

Fang Qi bit the bun, nodded and said, "Okay, what do you want to hear?" mermaid ...... Cinderella?"

"Everything. ”

As soon as this man told the story, he was easily sleepy, and it was about to be the time for a nap at noon, and sure enough, after the two stories were told, the upper and lower eyelids began to tremble, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he unfolded the futon and added the last fire, and drilled into it without urging.

The little platypus shivered and got into the bamboo basket, closed the lid, rolled the bamboo basket and hid it in the corner, and gnawed the uneaten bun skin inside.

Hongyuan looked at his sleeping position, his eyes were cold and piercing, and he was slightly distracted.

During this time, he taught him a lot of strange truths, but without exception, they were all said to Hongyuan, who was a real child back then. The world is multifaceted, and so are people, there are good and bad. A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and if he can beat it, he will run if he can't beat it...... Wait a minute. I want to teach him to be a normal person.

If time had gone backwards, he would have been a real child, and he might have been able to hear a thing or two.

…… Unfortunately not.

What would he think if one day he knew that the person in front of him was a ruthless and retributive Rakshasa demon?

Like this moment......

You don't care, and I mind, I'm much more careful than you.

The child remained in his original position, his body silently disappearing into the air.

The carriage was still on its way.

In less than half an hour, the child returned to the carriage with a slightly cold body, recalling that the innkeeper's hideous and twisted face was full of fear and despair, and the slightest bit of frustration and ashes was scattered, and the breath that was blocked in his heart was relieved.
