Chapter 55: Wu Xing'er
On the side, Ling Xiao and Ying Si subconsciously looked at Ye Qi, and the old man of the poisonous witch at the door followed the gaze of the two of them and also looked at Ye Qi in red.
His gaze lingered on the bronze ghost mask for a moment, then slid down to Yeqi's right hand.
When he saw the space ring on the index finger of Yeqi's right hand, his eyes froze. Lowering his head, his voice trembled a little, but he spoke unusually crisply.
"Can you tell me about the old witch you talked about, where is he now?"
Yeqi raised his eyebrows, "Won't you let me in first?"
The person on the opposite side raised his head, looked at Yeqi, for a long time, and turned sideways.
Ling Xiao had been here by mistake, but after entering the door, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
There are a few poisonous snakes scattered at the rattan trellis at the door, and all kinds of poisonous insects in the yard are walking back and forth.
Seeing this, the old man of the poisonous witch blew a strange whistle in his mouth. When these poisonous insects heard the whistle, they seemed to understand the whistleblower's command.
Each one seems to have its own independent consciousness and goes about its own thing.
A few snakes were still perched in the treetops, spitting out their bright red snake hyacinths and basking in their own sun.
A few poisonous insects in the yard were busy looking for their own food, running back and forth.
The group followed the old man into the hall.
The old man looked at Yeqi, "Can you say it now?"
Yeqi took the lead in taking off his mask, sat on the chair, and leaned lazily, "However, should you also have some sincerity?"
"Hmph!" the old witch on the other side seemed to reluctantly put his hand to his face. With a "tear" sound, a mask as thin as a cicada's wings was removed from his face.
The skin under the mask was smooth and delicate, but it was a little yellowish, but it did not look like an old man at all.
The little girl opposite her eyebrows were curved, slightly delicate, a pair of clear big eyes blinked softly, and her lips were pursed, showing that she was a little nervous.
Ling Xiao and Ying Si on the side actually had a guess in their hearts, but they were still a little shocked at this time.
But the atmosphere in front of him was too dignified, Ling Xiao just suppressed his curiosity and watched quietly.
"Now can you tell me where the others are?"
"He?" Yeqi thought to herself, if she told the little girl the news like this, would she be able to bear it. Yeqi's fingers rubbed the ring in his hand.
"He's gone. ”
The little girl's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Yeqi tightly, and her body couldn't help but tremble a little. "No, it's gone, yes, what do you mean?"
Yeqi looked at the little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a touch of distress in her eyes.
The little girl in front of her was fifteen years old, and she looked as thin as thirteen or fourteen years old.
Ten years ago, this little girl was only five years old, and she had lived alone for ten years, so it was no wonder that she would think of disguising herself as another person.
"He's dead!"
"No, it can't be!"
'Bang!', the person on the other side stood up excitedly, and brushed off the teacup on the table with his sleeve, but he didn't know it.
"You lied to me, didn't you? You don't know who I'm talking about?"
"Wu Xing'er, stop deceiving yourself. Ye Qi slammed into the words.
When Wu Xing'er on the other side heard this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and sat down weakly in his chair. His eyes were glazed, and he instantly filled with tears.
Since she realized it, she and my Grandpa Wu have been dependent on each other, since Grandpa Wu disappeared inexplicably ten years ago, she has been looking for his whereabouts, and has been staying here, she believes that Grandpa Wu will come back.
In the past, she was young, begging for a living everywhere, being driven away by bun sellers, being ridiculed and scolded by children of the same age, and even snatching food from stray dogs on the side of the road at the worst time.
Later, she found that she could control some snakes, insects, rats and ants for her use, and she was very happy, so she looked around for those poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that she had been keeping.
Three years ago, he disguised himself as a poisonous witch and appeared in the ghost village of the West District, and his life slowly became calmer.
In the past ten years, she has always believed that Grandpa Wu will come back, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for in the end was such news.
Wu Xing'er slowly raised her head, forcibly suppressed the tears in her eyes, and looked at Yeqi as if she had lost her soul.
"Who are you? How do you know about my grandfather? How do you know my real name?"
Ye Qi looked at Wu Xing'er firmly, her lips opened lightly, and her voice was solemn.
"You remember, you can call me the seventh son, and in the future, I will take care of you. ”
"You, heh, what are you trying to do?" Wu Xing'er heard Ye Qi's words, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
She is a lonely, fatherless and motherless orphan, the only thing she can do is her own ability to control insects and ants, is it possible that this person also has the same intention of using her as others?
The corners of Ye Qi's mouth hooked up a chuckle, "It's not on the basis of anything, just on the instructions of the old Wu seniors before his death." ”
"Grandpa Wu?" Wu Xing'er said a little dazed when she heard this.
"Yes," said Yeqi, who took off the ring in his hand and handed it to Wu Xing'er.
"Presumably you're not unfamiliar with this ring, right?" "This is Grandpa Wu's." ”
Wu Xing'er took the ring and nodded.
How could she not be familiar with it, this is a ring that Grandpa Wu never leaves his body. When she was in the ghost village, she had seen this ring on this person's hand.
"Actually, the old man passed away ten years ago. As you must know, not long ago, the news of the appearance of the divine beast came from the Luoyan Forest, and I also went there at that time, but I inadvertently walked to the place where the witch elder died. The last remnant of the witch senior's soul was handed over, and the ring was given to me, on the condition that I help him find his granddaughter and take care of her. ”
"...... this ring?"
"You keep it!" Ye Qi said lightly.
Yeqi has the ability to never forget, except for the Nine Heaven-Covering Absolute Realms she cultivates and the books related to various formations in the ring, the others are all intact in the ring here.
After all, this ring is the only relic left by Wu Xing'er, and now it is returned to Wu Xing'er, which can be regarded as a souvenir for her.
"Really?"
"Hmm. Yeqi nodded, erasing the trace of consciousness left in the ring.
Wu Xing'er on the other side was like a treasure, and quickly took the ring in his hand. immediately looked at Yeqi fixedly, suddenly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Yeqi.
"Apprentice Wu Xing'er meets the master!"
Seeing this, Yeqi suddenly hid to the side.
"Wait, what are you doing here?"
Wu Xing'er raised her head, her legs still kneeling on the ground, "Grandpa Wu said to let you take care of me, that must mean that he wants me to worship you as a teacher." ”
Yeqi's eyelids jumped, is it a concept to take care of her and worship her as a teacher? What's more, when did she say that she was going to accept an apprentice?
"I didn't say I was going to take you as an apprentice. ”
"Well, yes, but I've already bowed to my master! Then you are my master. ”
Yeqi: ......
Can apprentices still be like this?
"Master's failure to speak is a tacit acquiescence. Master, where are we going next?"
Yeqi: ......
When did I acquiesce?
"It's hard to recognize me as a teacher, and I'm very strict. ”
"Master, I'm not afraid!"
Yeqi was helpless, so he just gave up, since he promised the old man Wu to help him take care of her granddaughter, no matter what, he could help her take care of it.
"Let's go, go back to the City Lord's Mansion, by the way, what should you do with snakes and insects in a yard?"
"Back to Master, it's okay, these little babies of mine are very humane, they can find food by themselves and live here by themselves. ”
......
Ye Qi and Wu Xing'er, who walked out of the hall one after another, gradually moved away, and Ling Xiao and Ying Si on the other side watched all this dumbfounded.
Can anyone tell them what the situation is?
The legendary poisonous witch old man turned out to be a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. That's not all, this little girl became the apprentice of the seventh brother (night girl) for a while.
Therefore, the seventh brother (night girl) turned out to be the master of the 'old man who is a poisonous witch'.
"Alas, Brother Seven, wait for me. Ling Xiao reacted and instantly ran towards the two people who were moving away in front of him.
"Hey, you little girl has been hiding deep enough! It's been three years, and no one has found out that you are the legendary old witch. ”
"Actually, it's not without flaws, don't you see that my master has found out? It's just that the world hasn't thought about it carefully. ”
Ling Xiao nodded, but suddenly thought of the scene when he first met the old man of the poisonous witch in the ghost village.
He just said a sinister and cunning word from the old witch man, and the old witch man controlled some poisonous snakes to attack him. If it weren't for the presence of the seventh brother, maybe he would have died miserably like the four of them.
"That's because you don't know the truth of the matter, so you just talk nonsense. Hmph! Insidious and cunning, three years ago, I exposed the scandal of the deputy owner of the ghost village in front of everyone's eyes. In order to calm down, and at the same time to stabilize his position as the deputy gang leader, this person sent someone to kill the owner of the ghost village, but he wandered around and rumored that I killed him!"
Saying that, Wu Xing'er paused, "Just take the last time, the purple cocos fruit was obviously obtained by me, but the four of them did reverse black and white, and slandered me with their eyes open, saying that I stole them." Hmph, that kind of person should teach them a lesson. Say
At this point, Wu Xing'er's tone suddenly became a little calm.
Under the big sun, Ling Xiao was excited.
"So, that time, when did I accidentally break into your yard? Why did you, the snake, bite me?"
"Why, huh! Because you covered it with the moonlight. "Ahh
Wu Xing'er stopped instantly and looked at Ling Xiao seriously.
"No, no, my little green has the habit of basking in the moonlight every day. And that day, you just covered his moonlight. ”
Small theater.
"Master, Master. ”
Yeqi: ...... "I'm not your master!"
"No, you are, you are! Hey, by the way, Master, Master's wife is called to be a master's wife, what about Master's husband?"
"Probably called Daddy?"
Wu Xing'er on the side looked at Di Jiuqing, "Senior father, senior father!"
Di Jiuqing: ......
