Chapter 67: The Fisherman
In the end, Jiang Li couldn't say that Wei Jinyuan would go with him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Her cheeks bulged with anger, like the big bun she ate in the morning.
"A-Yuan is so annoying." Jiang Li kicked the pebbles under his feet fiercely.
In vain, she has always regarded A-Yuan as her best friend, but she didn't expect to be so unrighteous. Hmph, fortunately, Arlo they are not like him.
"It's okay if you don't come, we can do it ourselves." Chi Yufeng comforted her.
Jiang Li was right when he thought about it, Ah Luo, Ah Yun and Ji Yawen were already at the fifth level of Qi training, and Ah Feng was already at the fourth level of Qi training because of his physical influence, and he was about to break through the fifth layer. Only she is a third-level Qi cultivator, and she can barely use a few basic small spells, and she is not lethal.
When I think about it, I feel so useless. Jiang Li was extremely depressed, no wonder Ah Yuan didn't want to play with him, it wasn't at the same level, how could he play happily?
Eight hundred miles of Yueting Lake, the smoke is vast. Jiang Guoren described this lake as "the water is exhausted and there are no clouds in the south", which shows the vastness of the lake and the majesty of its momentum.
At this moment, Jiang Li, Jiang Luo and Chi Yufeng were resting on the embankment by the lake, and Ji Yawen and Ji Yayun went to the neighborhood to inquire about the lake monster.
"What are you asking about the lake monsters?" An old woman looked at a pair of golden boys and girls in front of her in surprise and asked.
Ji Yawen said: "Old man, don't hide it, I am a cultivator with my little sister, passing by here, I heard that there are lake monsters making trouble, so I want to get rid of this scourge for the people." ”
"Cultivating immortals?" The old woman shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, what is that." Little baby, listen to my old man's advice, that lake monster is not something that your children's family can deal with, the government has invited several people who are said to have great magical powers, but they have not been able to come back, while it is still early, you better go back quickly. ”
Unexpectedly, this old man had never heard of cultivating immortals, and he didn't believe in their abilities at all.
"Grandma, we can really deal with lake monsters." Ji Yayun said hurriedly, for fear that she wouldn't believe it, with a wave of her hand, an aura swung out, and suddenly split a tree with a thick bowl mouth not far away.
The old woman's face did not change, but she still shook her head: "Girl, let's go home quickly, the person who came last time also waved his hand like this, and the stones turned into powder, and I didn't see him come back." ”
Ji Yawen and Ji Yayun were in their hearts, and the stone turned into powder. This kind of cultivation is at least the ninth layer of Qi training, and if you can't come back with such a cultivation, then this lake monster must be a monster, and you can't run away.
When the old woman had finished speaking, she left, shaking her head as she went.
"Brother, what should I do?" Ji Yayun asked worriedly.
According to the old woman, didn't they go to death?
Ji Yawen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go ask others again to see if we know any clues about this lake monster." He was also a little apprehensive in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of his sister.
The two of them walked towards a village in front of them, which was outside the national capital. According to the news I heard before, the lake monsters are haunting this area, so they didn't waste time and came straight here.
"Wait a minute, please wait a minute."
Suddenly, there was a loud cry behind them, and they both turned their heads at the same time.
Seeing a little boy about the same age as Jiang Li, he waved his hand and ran over. His clothes were patched, and his sleeves and trouser legs were a lot shorter. Fortunately, the weather is not too cold, otherwise people would have to worry about how he has passed.
Ji Yawen and Ji Yayun glanced at each other, and both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Little brother, what's the matter with you?" Ji Yayun asked.
The little boy bent down, put his hands on his knees, and gasped: "Can you really get rid of that lake monster?" ”
"Hmm." Ji Yayun glanced at his brother and nodded affirmatively.
"Really?" The boy's eyes lit up.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the boy was relieved to boldly explain his intentions.
It turned out that the boy's name was Lai Yu'er, and their family lived by Yueting Lake, his mother was not in good health, and he also had a younger sister, and the family depended on his father to fish for a living.
But since the lake monster appeared in Yueting Lake, his father has not gone to the lake to fish for more than a month, and the family has long been cut off from cooking smoke. Three days ago, the family couldn't open the pot, and my father really couldn't help it, so he took the fishing gear and ventured to the lake.
Who knows, I happened to see the lake monster, I was frightened, and I had a high fever on the night I went back. The only pillar of the family has fallen, which is undoubtedly worse for this already poor family.
Lai Yu'er felt that as the only man in the family, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the family, so he went out every day to dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits to feed his family.
But after all, this place is close to the capital, where can there be so many wild vegetables and wild fruits for food. When I was worried, I happened to hear the conversation between the Ji brothers and sisters and Grandma Qiao in the east of the village.
I thought that if the lake monster disappeared, although my father was sick, he could also go to catch fish, and then he could reduce the burden on the family, so I couldn't help but feel a little hopeful in my heart.
Ji Yawen listened to his words, hesitated slightly, and said, "Then have you ever seen the appearance of a lake monster?" ”
Lai Yu'er shook his head when he heard this: "My father didn't take me there one day, but he saw it, I can take you to my house, just ask my father." ”
"Okay." Ji Yawen decided without hesitation, and took Ji Yayun to follow Laiyu'er to his house.
Laiyu'er's home is far from the village, closer to the lake, but also some distance from the lake. Their house is even more dilapidated than the poorest people in the village, and they are covered with thatched roofs, and they are piled up in the east and west, as if they are scattered on them randomly.
The branches of different lengths were tied together with straw ropes and covered with a layer of straw to make a simple door. The low wall made of inferior earth may collapse at any time.
When Ji Yayun saw this house, and then thought of her previous exquisite and luxurious life, she somehow felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, which was quite unpleasant.
They followed the fish into the house, and the ground was dark. It turned out that there were no windows in the house, so light couldn't get in. By the light of the doorway, I could barely see a man lying on the bed, gasping for breath and coughing from time to time.
After walking a few steps, I saw that it was a middle-aged man, and his face was thin and only skin and bones. There is only numbness in his hollow eyes, and people can feel the pain of being tortured by life when they look at it.
Ji Yayun pulled the corner of Ji Yawen's clothes and whispered: "Brother, he is so pitiful, can we help him." ”
Ji Yawen looked at the scene in front of him, feeling sorry in his heart. He knew that there were people in the world who endured poverty, but he didn't expect it to be so poor. Then he nodded and took out a pill of Yangyuan Pill.
"Let your father take this."
Yangyuan Dan can not only be taken by monks during the Qi training period, but also by ordinary people as medicine, which can cure all kinds of diseases.
Lai Yu'er put the pill into his father's mouth suspiciously, and sure enough, after a while, his father stopped panting, breathing much easier, and stopped coughing.
"Come on, the fish will help me up." Laiyu'er's father felt a stream of heat gushing out of his lower abdomen, merging into his limbs, and his whole body was extremely comfortable. The dullness in my chest before is gone.
"Great grace of the immortals, please accept my worship." He rolled over and got out of bed, and bowed down.
Ji Yawen hurriedly held him up and said, "You're welcome, I heard that the fish said that you have seen the lake monster, and you may tell us what you have seen." ”
