Chapter 11: The Feast of the Dog 5
"Great, you guys are so nice people. Xiao Ni was very happy, and handed Xiao Bai to Meng Po, "Big sister, hug it! Xiao Bai is well-behaved, and I often bathe it, but it is clean." ”
As soon as Meng Po took Xiaobai, her hand gently stroked from the puppy's head to the tip of the short tail.
Yuan An was surprised to see where her hand swiped over, the puppy's fur turned a snow-white, and then after Xiao Mud took over the puppy, it turned a thick black again. The black color was rather eerie, and there seemed to be occasional flashes of red light.
At this time, Yuan An understood the reason why the puppy's name was Xiaobai.
The old woman was grateful for the life-saving grace of the two of them to the little mud, and insisted on keeping the guests for dinner. The two of them didn't refuse, and Little Mud, because few people were so kind to him, he was always very excited.
They are all fresh vegetables picked from the yard, and after experiencing the strong smell of dog meat in the town, Yuan An is very satisfied with this vegetarian meal, and he is quite unsatisfied with eating.
When I went back, because it was a way down the mountain, it was much faster than when I came.
Shortly after Yuan An and Meng Po left the ancient temple, at a fork in the road at the foot of the mountain, which was almost covered by grass and trees, stood a girl in a blue skirt, looking at the compass-like red thing in her hand with a blank face, and said in a low voice:
"It's strange, Fang Cai obviously has instructions, why did he suddenly disappear?"
Approaching the mountainside behind the town, I saw the previous pavilion again.
Yuan An said: "Little aunt, do you want to rest for a while?"
Meng Po nodded, and the two walked into the gazebo, each ordered a bowl of ice powder, and sat down at the empty table.
"Little aunt. Yuan An's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, and he approached Meng Po and whispered, "I don't have any money." ”
Meng Po was a little surprised, "You didn't stay at all?"
"Nope. Yuan An shook his head in shame, "The old woman's cooking is so delicious, as soon as I was excited, I quietly left all the cash." ”
Meng Po took the ice powder brought by the store and said with a smile: "Eat with peace of mind, the cash you put me here before is still there." ”
Usually, Yuan An is responsible for three meals a day and daily necessities, not to mention that now almost a mobile phone travels all over the world, because Meng Poyi does not have the habit of putting money on his body. Fortunately, Yuan An was worried that she would encounter a situation such as a sudden failure of her mobile phone, so she never forgot to put a little cash in her bag.
Yuan An breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it didn't matter if he was embarrassed, if he affected his little aunt, it would be a great sin.
"Little aunt, what happened to that little white before?" After eating the ice powder, Yuan An couldn't help but ask his previous doubts.
Meng Po said: "That dog is not an ordinary creature, but the ghast itself that caused the chaos in this swallow dog town. ”
"ghasts?" Motogishi was amazed, "no wonder the little mud sees a different color than we see." What did the little aunt do before?"
"Leave a simple spell. "Meng Po together," can block some visits. ”
"I see. Yuan Andao, "Then since it's a ghast, why don't you cross it?"
"There is too much resentment here, there is more than one ghast, and the soul realm can be opened anywhere. "However, the situation is unclear, and the time has not come." ”
Yuan An asked again, "Speaking of which, what if the ghast never crosses?"
Meng Po together: "Into the devil, become the soul of the ten evils." ”
Yuan An said: "The Ten Evil Souls are very powerful?"
Meng Po nodded: "Hmm." ”
Yuan An said: "Then if you can't be busy, auntie, won't there be a lot of these ten evil souls?"
Meng Po shook her head: "No, generally the ghast spirit will disperse if it can't hold on to the demon tribulation." ”
Yuan An asked again, "Then there was ever a ghast that fell into the devil?"
"I didn't know before. Meng Po said, "Since the day I did the soul guide, there has never been." ”
She didn't know what other soul-inducers did, but she was desperate and barely missed a ghast. Because only when the number of soul crossings reaches that number, can she find or get close to the answer she wants.
It is only in recent years that this eagerness has slowed down.
Yuan An asked, "How long ago was the day that my little aunt said?"
Meng Po said: "It's more long-term than you can imagine." ”
The two were gossiping, and another person came to the pavilion, quite conspicuous in height, appearance, and temperament. Except for Meng Po Yiyuanan, the people in the pavilion, including the old man who sold ice powder, couldn't help but look over.
The person who came walked directly to the table of Meng Po Yiyuan'an without squinting, and said, "I'm sorry, do you mind setting up a table?"
Yuan An nodded, "Feel free." ”
"Thank you!" the visitor said, looked at Meng Poyi, who had never spoken, and said politely: "Disturb!"
"It's okay, I've been planning to leave. Meng Po said to Yuan An together, "Rest enough, let's go back!"
Out of the pavilion, the sky will be dark, this mountain has a unique mountain scenery, at this time the sunset is golden, more charming. I want to come here because of this dusk scenery as a selling point, so there are more tourists than when I go up the mountain.
Among the tourists, a girl in a blue skirt was walking in the direction of the gazebo, walking in a hurry. When passing by Yuan An's side, he paused slightly, then bowed to Yuan An's undetectable bow and left in a hurry.
Facing the envious eyes of the people around him, Yuan An innocently said to Meng Poyi: "Little aunt, I don't know this girl. ”
Meng Poyi's expression was indifferent, and she replied: "This does not conflict with the other party's understanding of you. ”
Dinner was served in the inn, and the new pots, new bowls, and new chopsticks were specially ordered for the kitchen. No way, the smell of dog meat in every part of this town is so strong that it is impossible to avoid it.
There were three and three guests in the hall, and when the two of them walked to the gate, they saw a man and a woman walking outside the door. The man had already been on the mountainside, and the woman was dressed in an aqua blue breast-length skirt.
When the four of them met, the man greeted him with a smile first, and his handsome face smiled extremely eye-catching:
"What a coincidence, we met again. ”
The woman in blue also said to Yuan An: "I've seen Mr. Yuan." ”
Yuan An was surprised again and asked, "Does the girl know you?"
The woman bowed her head and said, "Yes, it is the luck of the dressing coat to be able to see Mr. Yuan." ”
As a few people were talking, the waiter girl stepped forward to invite the two of them to go to dinner, and Meng Po said, "If you don't mind, how about eating together?"
Ji Hui said: "It's better to be so respectful than to obey your fate." ”
The four of them sat down at the wooden table, and ordered the store to fry two more vegetables before officially introducing themselves.
While waiting for the food, Song Chenyi smiled softly and continued the previous topic: "Although outsiders don't know, Mr. Yuan's photo has always been on the official website, and everyone in the door knows it." ”
"In the door?" Yuan An frowned and said, "Are you the one who holds the Holy Gate?"
The Holy Mother has a noble status in the Holy Gate, but Song Chenyi was guessed but still had a humble attitude, nodded and praised: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Mr. Yuan." ”
Yuan An shook his head and said, "You don't have to be so polite, I have nothing to do with the Holy Gate." ”
Song Chenyi shook his head and said, "Mr. Yuan, forgive me, the master of the door has had orders, and Xiyi does not dare to disobey." ”
Yuan An saw that she was insistent, and he didn't bother to say much.
After finishing the meal, because it was still early, and the dining table was facing the window sash just in the wind to cool off, and several people did not plan to evacuate immediately. Song Chenyi summoned the waiter, who was dressed in a uniform small-sleeved cardigan skirt, to step forward and remove the leftovers and replace them with pastries and tea.
Ji Hui raised his hand to pour tea for a few people, his movements were extremely elegant, and he was generally good-looking, and said: "This place is called Yangou Town, but the two of them came from afar but refused to eat dog meat, it seems that they have another purpose?"
Meng Po took the tea and said, "Maybe it's not much different from Mr. Ji's purpose, it's just different." ”
When Ji Hui heard this, he neither denied it, nor did he ask Meng Poyi why he said this, he only took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Miss Meng, forgive me, it was Ji who was presumptuous." ”
The next day, a large number of police officers suddenly came to the town, and searched the dog meat from house to house, saying that they wanted to take samples back to test whether they contained anything that caused madness.
"Normal. Looking at the chaotic streets, Yuan Kishi said, "The people who had the accident were all people from the dog meat restaurant, and it was normal for people to suspect that it was related to dog meat." ”
"Iniquity. The innkeeper said, "Every time something happens, these people come, and they don't say anything if they don't find anything, and they have to delay business for several days when they come again." Originally, every family lived on dogs, so how can we people live if we don't sell dog meat?"
As he spoke, he took two sips, and his words seemed to be very repulsive.
At lunch, Yuan An said: "Do you want to invite Mr. Ji to come and have a meal together?" Because they didn't want to eat dog meat, almost all four of them had eaten together in the previous meals, and it would save the trouble for the store to open another stove.
"Mr. Ji and Miss Song are both out of the house. The waitress girl said, "I was specially told to inform the two of you." ”
Yuan An nodded and said, "Thank you so much!"
On the hill behind Yangou Town, outside the woods where the ancient temple was located, Ji Hui, who had left the inn, was standing here, looking at the direction of the woods from a distance, with an indifferent expression, half loud, and sneered:
"I'm getting better and better at hiding his breath. ”
Going down the mountain to the pavilion on the mountainside, Ji Hui's pace gradually slowed down, his eyes were like cold ice, but the corners of his lips looked at the visitor with a smile.
"Season ...... Brother Ji Hui?" Song Chenyi was frightened by him, and said cautiously, "I, I'm here to find you." ”
"Oh?" said Ji Hui, "how do you know I'm here?"
Song Chenyi couldn't help but blush, and said even more quietly, "Guess, I saw that Brother Jihui liked the scenery here a lot, so I wondered if you would be here." ”
"Oh, it's reasonable. Ji Hui was noncommittal, and walked past her, "Go back!"
Although Yangou Town is dominated by dog meat, it is not a good thing, but a special fruit in the town is sweet and crisp. Thinking that the little aunt ate two more fruits yesterday, Yuan An went out early in the morning to buy some fresh ones.
The town is not big, and it is easy to remember the occasional fork in the road. However, after rounding two forks in the road, Yuan Yen found himself lost.
