Chapter 157: IOU
Mu Chen quietly watched the blood in his hand flow to the ground, and suddenly, he heard a rustling sound. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as he heard this voice, Mu Chen immediately hid, and he didn't know what else would appear.
Gradually, in the darkness, a fist-sized toad jumped next to Mu Chen's bloodstains, and Mu Chen was excited when he saw it, because he could clearly see that the toad had nine jumping legs.
The nine-legged toad, its body was blood-red, although its legs were not evenly symmetrical, but it did not affect its speed in the slightest, and I saw that in a few breaths, it had been in the cave for almost a circle, and then stopped next to the bloodstain.
It didn't try to touch the blood, as if it knew it was more poisonous than it, so it just wandered back and forth near the blood, as if it wanted to drink it, but didn't dare to drink it.
Mu Chen thought that this was the best opportunity, so he began to slowly walk towards the nine-legged toad.
As soon as he took two steps, Mu Chen stopped, because he heard the footsteps of others again.
I just wanted to listen carefully, but I saw that a figure had already pounced on the nine-legged toad.
The black shadow was very fast, and he saw that he held something like a jar in his hand, and immediately buckled the nine-legged toad in the jar, and then he quickly caught the nine-legged toad into the jar and closed the lid.
Mu Chen hurriedly walked up, and before he could speak, he saw the black shadow turn his head and flee out of the cave.
Of course, Mu Chen soon chased him at the entrance of the cave, and when he looked at it through the light, he found that it was a child, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, who looked very cute and looked very spiritual.
The child turned his head and saw Mu Chen clutching him, and he panicked for a while, but then he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Oops, I'm scared to death."
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I didn't expect your little child to dare to do such a bad thing."
The kid rolled his eyes and said, "What did I do?"
Mu Chen said, "Didn't you do something wrong, why should you be afraid of people finding out?"
The child said, "Bah, who said I was afraid, even if he was not afraid of you"
Mu Chen said, "Then who are you afraid of?"
The child looked around, saw that there was no one around, and calmed down, and said, "Fortunately, the old man surnamed Gao is not here."
When Mu Chen heard this, he thought that the old man's surname was Gao, and he was really a master, but when he saw that the child in front of him was so afraid of this master, and the nine-legged toad was in the other party's hands, it was better to play a scene with him.
Mu Chen's expression immediately became serious, and he said in a slightly angry tone, "You dare to call my master like that, I don't think you want to live anymore."
The child was startled at first, then looked at Mu Chen, and then said with a smile, "You are the apprentice of the master master?"
Mu Chen: "Exactly"
The child said, "But why haven't I heard that the master has an apprentice?"
Mu Chen said, "I'm an apprentice that the master just recently accepted."
The child smiled and said, "You are so stupid, you can't even lie, I have been guarding the nine-legged toad here for a year, and I am hiding from the master every day, I am afraid that he will find out that I will drive me away, how can I not know if he accepts an apprentice"
Mu Chen frowned slightly, and said, "You have been waiting here for a year?"
The child nodded and said, "Also, the master never uses a sword, how can the apprentice he teaches use a sword?"
Mu Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect a child to come out to travel the rivers and lakes so early, and stay in such a dangerous place for a year.
But Mu Chen's purpose was a nine-legged toad, so he continued, "Okay, you are very smart, in fact, my master is the same as the master, and the master senior is my uncle."
This time, the child's eyes were not full of suspicion, and he muttered, "I remember that the master does have a senior brother, but he has been dead for a long time, you can't lie to me, right?"
Mu Chen said, "What good is it for me to lie to you, besides, you are so smart, you have already seen through my lies"
The child smiled and said, "Hmph, you're right, my sister also said I'm the smartest"
Mu Chen smiled, "Can you take the nine-legged toad and use it for me?"
The child immediately hugged the jar on his chest and said, "Why, even if you have high martial arts, what if you are a child?"
Mu Chen's heart was full of helplessness, he really didn't expect this kid to be so smart, so he said, "If you don't give it to me, I'll tell my uncle, and you and I won't be able to get it then."
The child was not afraid, but smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, the master has been guarding the Phoenix Cave for more than ten years, what he is most afraid of is that someone will take away the nine-legged toad, if he comes, I will say that you have to rob me, and then say that it is the nine-legged toad you caught first, see how you explain" said, he made a proud expression.
Mu Chen is a little strange, since the master doesn't want people to take away the nine-legged toad, then why do you have to tell yourself the whereabouts of the nine-legged toad?
The child seemed to see Mu Chen's thoughts, and said with a smile, "It was the master who told you where the nine-legged toad is, right? He wants to kill you and let you die in the hole, he has a very bad heart."
Mu Chen was silent for a moment, and said, "I think your heart must not be bad, so give me the nine-legged toad"
The child said, "If you don't give it, my heart is bad from birth, and it's worse than a master."
Mu Chen said again, "But I have to use a nine-legged toad to save people, I believe you can't bear to watch a person die."
The child said, "Since that person's poison can only be solved by a nine-legged toad, which means that he is terminally ill, I think you had better go back and prepare a coffin for him, don't talk to me, I won't give it to you"
Mu Chen was furious in his heart, and immediately shouted, "Give it to me"
The child felt that Mu Chen was already angry, and at the same time felt the murderous aura on Mu Chen's body, which was a murderous aura that killed countless people, which came out of his bones and made people shudder.
The child immediately said, "You, don't be angry, I can give it to you, but you must promise me one condition"
Mu Chen asked, "I can kill you at any time, and you still have to tell me the conditions?"
The child said, "Yes, just two conditions, if you don't agree, I will eat the nine-legged toad, so that you can't get it at all" and he put the jar to his mouth.
Mu Chen said, "You say"
The child said, "If I don't take the nine-legged toad back, my sister will definitely scold me, so write me an IOU."
Muchen said, "IOU?"
The child nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't agree, I will definitely eat it, anyway, it will be death, and it will be a big deal."
Mu Chen sighed and said, "Okay, you say, how do you write it?"
The child tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and said, "Aren't you bleeding, just use your blood?"
"Muchen borrowed the nine-legged toad in exchange for agreeing to Xiaocheng's three requests, and Xiaocheng can make demands at any time with an IOU"
The child looked at the strip of cloth, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Your name is Mu Chen, it turns out that you are the elder of the beggar gang, if you regret it and give me a white strip, I will have to find the leader of the beggar gang to theorize."
Mu Chen said, "Don't worry, I won't regret it"
The child smiled, handed the nine-legged toad to Mu Chen, looked at Mu Chen's eyes full of indifference and emptiness, and said, "Are you thinking that if you kill me now, you don't have to complete these three requirements?"
