212|Love Song
The pig's head was hung under the eaves, and Master Gao waved a sharp blade to carefully trim and remove the hair for it, and prepared it to cook in the pot for a while.
There was also a water tank on the side of the stove to store ice, and Master Gao knocked down a small piece of ice with the back of a knife to make wine, and now that the inn has a sakai, he is even more unscrupulous when he drinks wine.
Tsing Yi looked at it coldly for a while, then turned around and went to the back door.
Although the wine in the well has been washed away by the rain, it is still not drinkable as clean water.
The veins below are drying up at a rate far from being comparable to what they used to be. It has only been a day's work to seal the pigs and attract rain, and the water in the soil pit is already about to bottom out. The men of the inn were instructed to begin to dig deeper the pit dug out of the east bridge, so that they could stock up on a sufficient amount of water before the water dries up.
It's a pity that they couldn't catch up, and in less than an hour, they dug out a brittle layer of soil except for stones.
Everyone was very worried, but at this juncture, Master Gao was still in the mood to come out with a piece of pig's ears in his mouth and complain that the wine in the wine well tasted like it was mixed with water.
Tsing Yi said angrily: "Now there is a big drought everywhere, and the inn is also short of water. Master Gao, you are also a monster, why don't you know Feng Feng? β
"Hehehe-" Master Gao was already at a loss, but when he saw that Tsing Yi was angry, he scratched his ears a little embarrassed and said, "I was drunk at the time and couldn't see anything clearly, and besides, I was used to killing pigs on weekdays, so I didn't take a closer look and directly killed and roasted ......"
Tsing Yi looked at Master Gao in disbelief, and saw that what Master Gao said was quite true, so he turned his head and said no more.
The other end of the canopy was cloudy, the opposite of the sunny day above the inn. Tsing Yi squinted and muttered, "Where is the Santu River?" β
Master Gao, who was unattended, scratched his chest, and when he saw Tsing Yi looking at the sky intently, he quietly approached the well, ready to fetch a new barrel of wine to drink.
Who knew that it was okay not to look at it, but it scared him a lot when he saw it. I saw that Sakai, which was quite full in the morning, was only a little bit left at this time.
"What's going on?" Master Gao shook his fat and said bitterly, "Why is all my wine gone?" β
"So fast?" Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Could it be that the drought is near the inn?" Otherwise, why would the veins of water dry up so quickly? β
"Dry? Has the Drought Raider come to the Land of Three Paths? Master Gao looked shocked and said, "Is the drought caused by drought?" It's not that there's something wrong with the spiritual vein......"
Then he wandered around a few times like an ant on a hot pot, and then without waiting for Tsing Yi to explain, he slapped his thigh hard and scolded: "My Ge Laozi, that guy coaxed me again!" Lao Tzu will go to him to theorize! β
With that, he screamed and jumped and ran towards the road.
Tsing Yi shouted a few times and Master Gao couldn't stop him, and finally could only watch him run away.
"Tsing Yi, what now?" The guys asked Tsing Yi with sad faces, "There is only so much water today." β
Tsing Yi pondered for a moment, and then remembered that the ice sent by Lei Teng had not yet been used, so he stretched his eyebrows and said: "It seems that there is no water to dig up, there are still two jars of ice in the kitchen, you can take it and melt it and send it to the guests." β
The guys hesitated and replied, "But those ice don't look like ordinary ice, it's very difficult to melt, and I haven't seen it get smaller in the past few days." We don't know what to do with it anymore. β
Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Isn't that better?" You can just break it open and send it to the guest. When the time comes, whether they lick and drink water or pack it and take it away, they are happy. β
As soon as the guys heard it, it was really a good idea, so they did as they were told.
The guests were very happy to see the ice, and they all felt a little like their tongues were on fire when they drank too little water these days. It was the men who put down the ice saucer, and they took the ice in their mouths hungrily.
Who knew that when this happened, something big would happen. I don't know what the mystery is in these ices, and it didn't take long for the entrance to freeze the demons to shiver.
A few of the guests sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly opened their mouths to spit out the ice. But the ice seemed to grow on their tongues, and they couldn't spit it out no matter how much they spoke.
"Helpβ" They grabbed themselves by the neck and threw themselves down at the table and on the floor, the white frost running down their necks and soon covering them.
"What's going on" Tsing Yi who followed the sound was shocked, she flexibly avoided the two demon claws grabbing on the side, and watched as half of the guests turned into ice sculptures, "Suxi-Suxi-"
Su Xi turned forward, reached into the mouth of a monster, and tore off the ice that froze on his tongue.
The bloody ice cubes emitted a trace of white smoke in the palm of her hand, and the people watching were cold and panicked.
The rescued monster curled his tongue and swallowed his saliva, and his originally blue face instantly returned to normal.
"This is the snow demon's ice!" The rescued guest shouted in fear, "I don't want water, settle the bill for meβsettle the billβ"
The rest of the guests were no luckier than him, except for those who reacted quickly, the rest were frozen in ice.
The guests who survived the catastrophe almost ran out of the inn with a roll, and they didn't even pay attention to the passers-by on the way, just bowed their heads and rushed forward.
The passer-by, who had been hit several times, quietly straightened his clothes, and then deflected his direction and continued walking.
Tsing Yi panicked at the pile of ice sculptures swaying in the lobby, and the guys circled around them with fire and salt, but to no avail.
"How good is that?" Tsing Yi held hands and walked back and forth urgently, "They won't all freeze to death, right?" β
The guys looked at each other with a look at each other, and then said, "Tsing Yi, it seems that those ice can't be used, so let's throw them away, right?" β
"It's too late to throw that ice away." Tsing Yi frowned and said worriedly, "The top priority now is to thaw them all!" Alas, it's all mine, I just want to take it for granted that the monster can stand those ice, but I didn't expect that ice to be so powerful......"
"It's a big sun outside, why don't we move them out first?" Seeing that Tsing Yi blamed himself, the guys hurriedly came up with an idea, "Then put some firewood on them and roast it?" Ice is the most afraid of light and heat, and it will definitely thaw sooner if you think about it. β
After that, everyone worked together to drag out the monsters that had frozen into ice mounds one by one.
During this period, Tsing Yi watched them carry them with great concern, knowing that the ice sculpture could not withstand the bumps, and if one accidentally broke it, I was afraid that the life of the monster would be gone.
The passers-by who wanted to enter the door called the guys who were carrying the ice sculptures back and forth, and there was no way out, so they had to bow their heads and wait silently on the side.
Just as the big guys were busy with their work, a guy suddenly pointed to the two ice sculptures near the door and shouted, "Huh? The ice on his body seemed to melt a lot. β
Tsing Yi hurriedly took a closer look, and saw that their faces were only covered with a thin layer of ice chips, and the melting snow was dripping down the hem of their clothes.
The guys ran to the other monsters with a look of surprise on their faces, and then happily said to Tsing Yi: "Tsing Yi, they are also thawed!" β
As the ice melted, the frozen youkai trembled and gradually woke up. Although it looks a little wolf, it is not worried about his life.
Seeing this, Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and the guilt and worry in his heart finally let go.
The first reaction of the monsters who saved their lives when they opened their eyes was to run away, and they couldn't even care about the bill.
Tsing Yi saw the passer-by standing on the side in a blink of an eye, not that she deliberately looked at it, but that the passer-by looked really too outstanding.
He looked like a monster, with long, messy red hair. Through the gap between the red hair, she vaguely caught a glimpse of his gray face and neck. Coupled with that tattered clothes, it seems that he has a deep story.
The frozen guests were almost gone, and the only thing left on the ground was their disorganized footprints, except for the undried snow.
The guys approached Tsing Yi with an uneasy expression, as if they were afraid of each other.
Seeing that ......the other party was standing motionless, Tsing Yi inquired and asked, "Aren't you going in?" β
The visitor raised his head slightly, revealing a neat face.
As soon as he looked up, Tsing Yi found that the other party's eyes were actually blue.
Tsing Yi's pupils paused slightly, and then said in the same tone as usual: "There was some accident in the inn, and now there is chaos inside, if the guest officer minds, you can go to the empty room on the second floor to rest first." β
As she spoke, she glanced at Su Xi.
As soon as Su Xi's figure turned, he floated to the visitor to lead the way.
The visitor glanced at Su Xi fixedly, and only after half a sound did he raise his feet and follow her into the inn.
The cracked ground cracked under his feet, and the ground that was still wet turned dry and cracked again.
There were still a few ice sculptures left in the lobby, and as the visitors approached, they were like mutton fat roasted on a fire, and their originally stiff bodies suddenly became soft and stretched. Then they opened their eyes and ran away with the rapidly evaporating water stains.
The visitor walked steadily up the second floor without saying a word.
The guys cleaned up the messy lobby as fast as they could, and by the time they poured into the kitchen to dispose of the remaining ice, they were shocked to find that most of the ice had melted.
"I'm afraid it's unusual." Looking at the ice that was still melting, Tsing Yi said in a low voice with a different color, "Hurry up and seal all the water storage utensils in the inn, and then go to the wine well at the back door to bring out a few barrels of wine and send them to that guest." β
"Tsing Yi ...... Could he be the drought that Kurosaburo said......" The yew demon asked timidly, "As soon as he entered the door, I felt that the soil under my feet was drying up and about to burst into flames." We'd better kick him out......"
"San Lang is looking for him everywhere, I can't catch up." Tsing Yi was embarrassed, "Besides, we don't know how powerful he is, if we provoke him...... At present, Master San Lang Dongqiao Gao is not here, so we still don't want to act rashly. β
The guys listened to it and stopped talking about driving each other away. But when they wanted to get close to each other, they were afraid of panicking, and in the end, as soon as the big guys discussed, they decided to send the drinks to the second floor, and Su Xi sent them in alone.
The visitor didn't stretch out his hand when he saw the wine, but just stared at the wine glass for a while.
The wine glass, which had been full, quickly emptied at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the room was suddenly filled with the smell of alcohol.
Seeing this, a look of melancholy flashed in his blue eyes, and when he saw Su Xihao's wrist slightly bent to pour him wine again, he let out a low and hoarse voice.
"I don't drink, so there's no need to pour it for me."
Su Xi's hand paused for pouring wine, but still insisted on pouring a full glass for him.
This glass of wine still did not enter the mouth of the visitor, and just like the previous glass of wine, it quickly evaporated into the air.
The visitor's lips pursed slightly, and when he was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, the wine glass in front of him was already full again.
He reached for his glass, tilting his neck and pouring it down before it was gone.
Although there wasn't much alcohol in his throat, he clearly felt better. So this time, there was no need for Su Xi to insist, so he took the initiative to raise his wine glass and ask Su Xi to pour wine.
Glass after glass, he enjoyed the wine like an ordinary guest. Santuchuan Inn
