Chapter 3 The first trouble was not caused by her
Xia Guang hadn't been out of the valley since she could remember, so she was in trouble now. At the two forks in the valley, she didn't know which one to choose to get to the place called Quyang City that the storyteller said.
Yes, Quyang City, that bustling place, that place where many celebrities gathered, that place where something always happened that interested her.
Xia Guang looked at the road on the left, and then at the road on the right, but he really didn't know which path to choose. blames myself for not exploring a good path at the beginning, so that the current situation will appear.
She raised her eyebrows helplessly, then raised her right hand, lifted her sleeves, stared at the little guy wrapped around her wrist, nodded her little head, and whispered with luck: "Hey, Mo, wake up, we're in trouble, which road do you say leads to Quyang City?"
Of course, Xia Guang didn't expect a little snake to give her an answer, she just wanted the little snake to move and make a decision for her, for example, when it looked up and looked at her, she chose the left. But for now, even this idea is extravagant. The little guy on her wrist never moved, let alone responded to her.
Xia Guang dropped her hand helplessly, frowned, pondered for a moment, and then walked to the vicinity, observed it carefully, and finally let her discover the difference between the two roads.
The people in the valley usually don't come out of the valley, so there are a lot of weeds growing around the two roads, and the height is almost to her waist. However, there was a road where the weeds had been crushed, and Xia Guang remembered the gentleman who had come to the valley not long ago to tell a story, and felt that this road must be the way he came.
Since Mr. Storyteller is talking about Quyang City, then he must have stayed in Quyang City, and his preconceived views made Xia Guang take a lot of wrongful paths. But at this time, she didn't know it, and she was proudly saying to the little guy on her wrist: "Sure enough, you still have to observe more details when you go out." ”
decided the direction, Xia Guang swept away the depressed mood just now, and his steps were a lot brisker.
The location of Xuehua Valley is so remote that Xia Guang walked for many days before discovering a small village.
She had been walking on foot for the past few days, and she didn't feel anything at first, but when she saw the village, her whole body seemed to be clamoring for her to stop and stay here for the night. At this time, Xia Guang realized that he had not eaten a good meal and rested for many days in order to hurry.
After entering the village, Xia Guang hurriedly found a noodle stall to comfort himself. She asked for a bowl of Yangchun noodles from the stall, and regardless of other people's opinions, she ate it in a sucking way, so that the people next to her could see it.
Her eating appearance made the stall owner very happy, and he couldn't help but talk to Xia Guang.
"Where are you going, girl?" asked the stall owner, as he got busy with his hands.
Xia Guang finished eating the last bite of noodles in the bowl before he spoke: "Quyang City." ”
"Is this the first time the girl has gone out?" asked the stall owner curiously, not thinking how impolite her behavior was.
"What do you say?" asked Xia Guang. When I was in the valley, the master said that the life of the people outside the valley was not as simple as the life of the people in the valley. People can do anything that goes against common sense for the sake of their own interests, such as selling their wives and daughters. The stall owner's question had to make her vigilant.
"I look at the girl's appearance, she must have been on the road for several days. The stall owner said, looking Xia Guang up and down.
Xia Guang has been in a hurry for the past few days, and she has not been able to take care of herself, the whole person looks dusty, her hair looks a little messy, and her clothes are wrinkled and twisted, especially her shoes, which are all mud and green grass juice.
Xia Guang still didn't answer.
"I think the girl is coming from over there, right?" the stall owner pointed in the direction she had come.
Xia Guang frowned, how did he know where she was coming.
The stall owner has been running a noodle stall for so many years, and no one has ever seen her, so you can tell what she is thinking when you look at her expression. "Girl, don't be surprised, I'm also speaking from my own experience. Our village is quite remote, and there is nothing special, so generally only people from our village go out, and few people from other villages come to us. If there is, it is all from that way. There was no one on that road, so it was uneven and overgrown with weeds, and I saw that the upper of the girl's shoes was full of green grass juice and mud spots, so I made a bold guess. ”
After Xia Guang listened, he felt that he was making too much fuss, if he was so suspicious all the way, how could he break through.
She scratched her head and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry." ”
The stall owner waved his hand absently and said, "Girl, Quyang City is far away from here, if you still go over there, it will be even farther." The stall owner pointed in another direction.
"Huh?" Xia Guang was stunned, according to the stall owner's meaning, she seemed to be on the wrong path. No wonder the stall owner asked her if it was her first time going out.
"Girl, I see if you want to stay here tonight for the night, I'll help you find out if anyone is going to this nearby town, and then you can take a ride and pay some money. The stall owner said enthusiastically.
Xia Guang originally planned to stay for one night, but when he heard that the stall owner said that he could take a ride, he was even more satisfied, so he agreed. And she also knew that it was much better to go to Quyang City from the town than to wander around outside, at least she could go there to buy a horse or something, which would be much more convenient.
She agreed with the stall owner to come back tomorrow morning, and then left.
She searched the whole village, but there was only one place to stay. According to the shopkeeper, it is the only inn in the village, because there are few outsiders in the village, and the use of the inn can be imagined. In order to make a living, the shopkeeper had no choice but to change it into a restaurant, but if someone came, he could also clean up the room and come out for people to live in.
Xia Guang is not a particularly particular person, as long as there is a place to block the wind and rain, it doesn't matter what else, the most important thing is that the price charged by the shopkeeper is not very expensive.
The room was very clean, and there was no other smell, walked to the bed, put the burden in her hand near the pillow, she gently patted the pillow and the cover, and saw that there was no dust coming out, so she nodded with satisfaction.
She called Xiao Er and asked him to boil a bucket of hot water to come in, planning to wash it well. After all, she hasn't had a chance to take a good shower or anything in the past few days.
Xiao Er's work is very fast, after a while, he took a bucket in, and then took the hot water to add it again and again, and when he saw that it was almost there, he said: "Slow use, when you are well, I will collect it again." ”
Xia Guang nodded, and after Xiao Er left, he bolted the door, walked to the Yu bucket and tested the water temperature, and when he saw that the water temperature was just right, he was ready to take a shower in his wide clothes.
However, it backfired, and when she was about to look for clothes, the door was knocked open.
Xia Guang was startled, looking at the knocked down door panel that was almost about to hit her head, the whole person was not good. She looked back and forth between the door frame and the fallen door panel, not knowing what had just happened, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, thinking that this must be too unreliable.
"Sorry, I'm ...... leaving"
The voice was a little faint, as if it had been forced to speak through pain. Xia Guang was pulled back to his senses by this voice. What are you going to? Wrong door?
She reflexively looked at the source of the sound, only to see a black figure staggering, about to fall, she felt a little frightened, and finally with a plop, Xia Guang closed his eyes, and then opened to find that the person had indeed fallen to the ground.
What's the matter, this can't be death, I said silently in my heart.
Xia Guang carefully walked to the man's side, squatted down, turned the man's face over, and found that the man's face was very pale and sweating all the time, as if he would see Hades at any time. Xia Guang deliberately stretched out his right hand to probe his snort, and found that the snort was very rapid, but there was still breath, so he stood up. She planned to go to the hall and brought Xiao Er over to deal with it, she didn't want to cause any trouble, although this person was good-looking.
But as soon as she wanted to leave, she found that someone was dragging her feet, making it difficult for her to move an inch.
Xia Guang squatted down again, facing the unknown man, regardless of whether the man heard or not, and said, "Hey, it's useless for you to drag my feet, I don't want to cause any trouble because of you." Then she began to wrench the man's hand, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not pull it away.
"Men and women can't tell me, why are you holding my feet like this, let go. Xia Guang's tone was a little impatient, and the force of his movements was also quite large, but the man was still firmly imprisoned on her feet, so he didn't react.
Xia Guang looked at the man in front of him a little helplessly, he couldn't be so deadlocked. She stood up again, wanting to shout out to Xiao Er to come over and help. But the strangeness at her right wrist prevented her from continuing.
Xia Guang lifted the cuffs, and the ink that had been wrapped around her wrists all these days slowly slid out. She hurriedly flattened her palm so that it would stand on top of her palm.
"Little one, are you hungry?"
Ink slid into the palm of his hand, his whole body stood up, first raised his head and spat at her, as if in response to her, and then after glancing at the person lying on the ground, he shot at the person without hesitation.
Xia Guang was about to get it to his neck, but after seeing its subsequent movements, the whole person was shocked.
What's the situation, this little guy is crazy?
She hurriedly squatted down and looked in the direction of Mo, only to see that Mo was biting the man's neck, because she was afraid of attracting right and wrong, she could only hold her breath and whispered nervously: "Mo, come back quickly, that person can't bite indiscriminately." ”
Ink is a rare blood snake. The blood snake lives on blood, and the blood-sucking period is once every 15 days, so its size will not grow, it will always be about 5 inches. It's not very toxic, but it can kill people. As long as the person or thing bitten by it is not dealt with in time within a quarter of an hour, it will die. What's more, Mo has always been maintained by her blood, and the toxicity is even more incomparable.
Seeing that Mo had no intention of coming back, and that her teeth were tighter, she could see its slightly wriggling palate, and she could imagine that it was injecting toxins into it, and then began to slowly swallow the man's blood.
Xia Guang's whole person was in a hurry, she never thought that Mo would take the initiative to suck the blood of a stranger, it used to be picky and tight, except for her blood, it couldn't be looked down on by anyone.
Seeing that Mo didn't plan to let go for a while, Xia Guang didn't dare to pull it, for fear that it would bite too tightly, and it would be more difficult to clean it up at that time, and it would be difficult to move the man, for fear that if he made any big moves, the toxin would speed up, and it would not be a matter of a quarter of an hour.
How could this be, she never dreamed that the first trouble would be brought to her by Mo. I don't know if this person is a big man in the rivers and lakes, a businessman, or a big man in the court, if something happens to this, he will definitely cause trouble.
