Chapter 24: Self-reliance
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, as if someone was talking in the room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 He crept down the edge of the well, tiptoed in the direction of the sound, and peeked through the crack in the door.
A look of joy skipped through his eyes: "Qin, it's actually the woman from yesterday, you see that she really didn't die." ”
He excitedly pushed the door open and entered.
Yu Xiaocao's face was haggard, his lips were pale, his clothes were covered with mud stains, and he fell asleep in the corner. If she hadn't been talking in her dreams, she would probably have been seen by ordinary people and would have been treated as a corpse.
The little pipa demon squatted down and woke up Yu Xiaocao.
Her eyelids were heavy, but she managed to keep them open and wake up.
"What's, what is this?"
She was startled by the white object in front of her.
"This is the steamed bun that Qin bought for you."
Jean, who is it?
Also, who said she was going to eat steamed buns?
She lifted her drowsy head, sat up with her slender arms on it, leaned against the wall and looked at it, and was so angry and annoyed that she was almost speechless.
She stretched out her finger and pointed at the little pipa demon and said, "You, aren't you that naughty little goblin?" Are you going to harm me again? ”
The little pipa demon didn't deny it, he showed his white teeth, smiled, reached out to break her hand, and stuffed the white steamed bun into her hand.
"Qin didn't mean it, Qin did it because he was afraid of the monster in your jade. Luckily, you're fine, let's eat steamed buns. ”
It turns out that this little demon is called "Qin".
Angstrom? He's originally a piano, isn't it strange to call himself "piano"?
The corners of Yu Xiaocao's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the steamed buns that were stuffed into his hands, and he didn't gnaw it, and he didn't gnaw it.
The little pipa demon's dark eyes stared at the jade on Yu Xiaocao's chest, and said with a hint of fear in his eyes: "Sister, what kind of powerful monster are you here?" ”
"My monster here, I scared you to death when I said it, he-" Yu Xiaocao suddenly remembered something, looked at the steamed bun in his hand in a daze, and forgot to continue.
"What is he?"
She smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, it doesn't matter anymore, he's not here anymore." ”
The little pipa demon looks clever and weird, quite likeable, and Yu Xiaocao doesn't remember his grudges. Seeing him so enthusiastically beckoning her to nibble on steamed buns, she coped with a few bites.
She suddenly remembered something: "Qin, why don't you stay in the demon world, why did you come to the mortal world?" ”
She remembered that Bai Yu said that there is a demon king ruling in the demon world, and under normal circumstances, the little demon can live and work in peace and contentment under its protection. Except for some restless little demons, out of playfulness or some evil thoughts, they want to go to the mortal world.
Although Qin threw her down the dry well, he still couldn't come down to her in the end, which shows that his nature is not bad.
He didn't come to the mortal world to do anything bad.
"Demon Realm... It's not the same," he muttered as if to himself, "Master, it's gone." They all said that the master was dead, and I didn't believe it. I'm here to find the master. ”
"What's your master's name?"
Jean shook her head, "I don't know, but they all call her 'King'. ”
King? Could there be a demon with such a strange name?
It sounds like... The king of the demon kings!
"Is your master a demon king?"
Jean shook her head helplessly, looking like she didn't know anything.
When he was still a lute, he didn't have a psychic knack, and he could only have a very vague memory. For his master, all memories remain on those hands.
The owner has a pair of gentle and beautiful jade hands. Every day, these hands stroke his strings and pluck the most beautiful music in the world.
The owner called him "Jean".
He called himself "Jean" in this way.
He seemed to remember that his master would whisper something to him. Although he could only understand a few words, he could feel the joys and sorrows of his master.
In my memory, the owner was sad most of the time. It also made him very sad.
Is there any way to make her happy?
Yes That's beautiful music.
He was determined to cooperate with his master and use a voice that was unique in the world to soothe the sadness in his master's heart.
However, with his spirituality and cultivation, it is not enough to open his spiritual aperture and transform into a human form, so the sound he makes is always a little worse.
He remembered one day when his master had poured a drop of blood from his hand into his body, and his whole body was hot as if it were about to burn. When he became conscious, he realized that he had taken on human form.
"Jean, this is the last thing I can do for you. I'm sure you'll be able to play the most beautiful music in the world in the future. ”
These were the last words the master said to him. Since then, she has disappeared into the demon world.
Thinking of the master's affairs, Qin's eyes became dim, and her original energetic face was also full of loneliness.
"You're fine, I'm leaving." Qin pointed to the steamed bun in Yu Xiaocao's hand, "This, you eat it while it's hot." ”
"Hey, wait a minute."
Jean stopped, her eyes puzzled.
"Hey, you stole my purse. Give it back to me! ”
Don't think it's useful to pretend to be pitiful, this little demon is more pitiful than him now!
"No, I'm going to buy something delicious." He didn't feel guilty, and said as a matter of course, "If I invite you to eat something delicious, we will write off the previous matter." Otherwise, I'll throw you into a dry well again. ”
This little kid is even going to bargain!
"Okay." Yu Xiaocao compromised.
He was just naughty and playful, Yu Xiaocao was soft-hearted, and he didn't think about tying him up with Fu Demon Suo.
It's a meal that can be mixed up.
It's time to find a way to write by herself, without Bai Yu, she still has to work hard to live.
When she left the dilapidated house with Jean, she felt a pair of eyes behind her looking at her, and when she turned around, there were only trees and half-human-tall weeds in her vision.
Not white feathers.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Xiaocao came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, let's go." ”
Yu Xiaocao thought that Qin had a lot of ability, and she could take her to ride the clouds and fog and travel thousands of miles a day, but she still had to walk honestly on her legs. Jean explained that he could barely walk faster when he was alone, and with her "heavy body", he really couldn't walk fast. Yu Xiaocao was depressed for a while.
They walked for a long time before they entered the city. Qin was so stingy that he only invited Yu Xiaocao to eat two big meat buns, and he looked very angry. Let Yu Xiaocao be speechless. The point is, after not staring at him for a while, he is gone.
This piano is too ghostly, and eighty percent are afraid of Xiaocao robbing money, so thirty-six plans are on top.
That's it, Yu Xiaocao doesn't care about him.
She wandered the streets alone, surrounded by people coming and going, but she was extremely lonely. Before she knew it, she was at a crossroads.
The door of a shop in front of her was crowded with people, and when she looked up, she saw that there was a bookstore called "Sensodo", which was located in a vantage point at this intersection, and it seemed that business was very good.
I don't know what this group of people are looking at there.
Yu Xiaocao was curious, leaned over, leaned on his thin little body, saw the stitches, and squeezed into the front row.
The door of the bookstore was closed, and a notice was posted on the carved door panel, and Yu Xiaocao read it word by word: "Dear book friends, I'm very sorry, the book shop was originally scheduled to be released today, and the sale of the strange book "Golden Vase Plum Graphic Edition" was postponed due to paper problems, and the book shop is solving the relevant problems, striving to meet you tomorrow......"
Angstrom? Golden Plum? Is it the book written by Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng? Yu Xiaocao heard the Chinese teacher mention it when she was in school, and it seems that she created a precedent for erotic novels. For this reason, the curious Yu Xiaocao also went to the school library to find it, but he didn't find it after going several times. Asked the administrator, the middle-aged aunt replied to her in a strange tone: "There are only 3 copies, and every time I return them, they are immediately borrowed by those boys." You're a girl, why are you borrowing this? ”
Yu Xiaocao had no choice but to smile at her and replied "goodbye".
In the open 21st century, this book can't get rid of the title of obscenity, pornography, but I didn't expect that in the Ming Dynasty 500 years ago, it could be sold in the bookstore so grandly, and it was still sold in a graphic version! Yu Xiaocao hadn't read this book, but just thinking about the possible illustrations in the book, she was so ashamed that she blushed. It can be seen that the people of the Ming Dynasty were not generally open in this regard.
"Girl, can you get out of our way, do you want to buy this book too?"
