Chapter 19 Visiting Zhao's Mansion
The man in black raised his eyebrows slightly, and with the mottled moonlight, he drew his sword with cold light and sparkled it, and slashed at the shadow that jumped up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Whew." A scar was cut on the black beast's neck, and strands of black blood flowed out.
"Hmph, Demon Panther!" The man gave a cold look in disdain.
The panther bared its white fangs and let out a low grunt as it circled around the man in black, waiting for an opportunity to launch a second attack. The man in black was indifferent, as if the demonic beast in front of him was nothing more than a thing that was about to die. "Whew." The panther swooped down again, its four claws baring its sharp fingertips. The man in black paused slightly, raised his hand slightly, flew the sword away, accurately stabbed the black panther forehead, and then turned his body and flashed to the side.
The panther's pupils shrank and he fell to the ground and died.
Night, return to peace.
The next day, the early morning woods were shrouded in a light mist, like a looming veil over it. The soft sunlight began to pour down, fading the chill of the forest and replacing it with the warmth of bright yellow.
Su Xin opened her hazy eyes and stretched. "Well, settle breakfast first." touched the drumming belly, and said to himself.
In a few moments, he found a tree full of red fruits. "Well, this fruit is really sweet and sour, much better than dry food." Su Xin sat on the branch, shaking her legs, and the fruits were stuffed into her mouth one by one. After filling his stomach, he clapped his little hands and climbed down the trunk. "Alright, it's time to go, it should be this way." Su Xin took out the map and studied it, and then continued to walk briskly.
After most of the day, Su Xin finally walked out of the woods, and a small town appeared in front of him, with people coming and going, so it was not lively.
"Come on, come on." There was a roar of gongs and shouts in the city. Su Xin curiously squeezed into the crowd and took a look.
I saw several young men in blue clothes trying their best to shout for everyone to come and watch. After a few moments, a white-bearded old man stood up from the Taishi's chair and waved his hand at the young men, and the sound of the gong stopped. He took a few steps forward and arched his hand to the crowd of onlookers, and slowly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, Zhao is here today, and many people must have known the purpose. Recently, a demon of unknown origin has appeared in the woods behind the mansion, which is very powerful, and the mansion has lost a lot of manpower. Therefore, I want to gather heroes from all walks of life with a lot of money to destroy this demon. I beg you to help this government tide over this difficulty. There will be benefits afterwards. ”
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the onlookers immediately erupted in discussions.
"I heard that the demon transformer is very powerful, and many of the monks offered by the Zhao Mansion have hung up. I don't want to wade into these troubled waters. ”
"But the Zhao Mansion is rich and the conditions offered are too tempting, so why not try it? It's a big deal that you don't have to work at that time, just get some benefits and slip away. ”
"Destroy the demon clan and keep one side safe, the monk has an unshirkable responsibility, I want to participate!"
"I'll participate too, go check it out!"
Su Xin listened to the discussion one after another, and couldn't help but feel a little itchy. It's not a one-man fight, and it shouldn't be dangerous to destroy a demon changer. This Zhao Mansion has a lot of silver taels, and when the time comes, you can buy more delicious food. Well, so decided, participate!
"Everyone, everyone, don't be impatient, please participate in this operation, the heroes and heroes who participated in this operation, now follow the old man to the house to settle down first, and we will set off together tomorrow." The old man said confidently.
So Su Xin went to the Zhao Mansion with a crowd of twenty or thirty people.
Gee.. Sure enough, it is a rich and noble family, look at this luxurious architectural compound, glazed green tiles, gold and silver decorations, pear wood beams, red lacquer corridors, it is simply a paradise on earth.
"Everyone, please follow the family to stay in the house for a while, and then gather everyone to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning." The old man bowed his hand politely.
The crowd split into several groups and were arranged to live in separate courtyards. As soon as Su Xin entered the room, she immediately spread out the big characters and lay on the comfortable soft couch.
"Actually, it's not bad to be a rich man, it's all about enjoyment. In the future, it is better to settle down in a restaurant, with my good cooking skills, bring out a few good apprentices, everyone earns a lot of silver together, some eat and some enjoy, this is a good life! Su Xin stared at the ceiling and thought about it.
"Plain girl, this is your dinner." The maid who came in at some point interrupted Su Xin's fantasy with a smile.
"Oh, oh. Hee-hee. Su Xin immediately sat up embarrassed and laughed dryly, "Thank you, I'm tired." ”
"You're welcome, please use it slowly!" The maid covered her mouth and smiled, exited the room, and closed the door by the way.
"Ah, it smells so good!" As soon as he saw the food on the table, Su Xin immediately put aside his restraints, picked up his chopsticks, and savored them. "Sure enough, the rich man's chef will not be bad, although it is not as good as Huang Lao's craftsmanship, but it is also quite distinctive." Su Xin picked up a piece of fried fish and bit it, and the slightly burnt fish meat mixed with a little peppery spicy flavor has a unique flavor.
"Well, this poached egg tastes good, the viscous egg liquid is smooth and fragrant, it should be the egg of the local flower chicken."
"The red bean cake is slightly sweet and greasy. If you put some table salt, you can neutralize it. ”
"The stir-fried vegetables are good, the color is fresh enough, and it will be even better if you put some sauce."
Su Xin tasted it and habitually made evaluations, which was completely "imperceptible" by Huang Lao.
"It's so full, it's a good meal!" Su Xin fell on the soft couch with her stomach in her hands, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth. "This place is worth it, and you can eat one more breakfast for free tomorrow, hehe." Su Xin rubbed her little hands and praised her cleverness. However, she will soon regret it, and that's a story for later.
At night, under the waiter of the maid, Su Xin took a bath very comfortably, lay on the comfortable big bed, and recalled the discussion of the onlookers today. A nervousness slowly rose in his heart, after all, since he was born, he had never been in contact with the Demon Transformation Clan. On weekdays, Master and Uncle take the task and go out, and never take her with him, saying that it is too dangerous. However, now that I have come out to practice, this situation will happen sooner or later.
"I'm not the only one tomorrow, what am I afraid of so many people?" Su Xin patted her chest and comforted herself.
As everyone knows, this kind of thinking is also what everyone who came to participate in the action thought, they gradually put aside their fear under the delicious and easy-to-use service of the Zhao Mansion, and even looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
"Forget it, let's talk about tomorrow tomorrow, and get a good night's sleep tonight." Su Xin stretched, put aside her worries, and gradually fell asleep.
The night was like a wash, and the squeaky of insects came from the rockery in the yard, and the tranquility at the moment paralyzed everyone's hearts.
