"What's wrong?" Only then did the pillar rub a pair of worried eyes, and dragged his shoes out to see the situation.

Qi Shangyi shook his head at him, "It's okay, you go back to the house and go to sleep!" ”

The pillar didn't ask any more questions, turned around and re-entered the side room.

Qi Shangyi looked at the man who was chopping firewood and spreading his anger on the axe, turned around the porch, and also entered the kitchen.

"Auntie, I'll help you make breakfast." The door of the kitchen was very low, and Qi Shangyi had to bend down to get in, just in time to see the eldest lady lighting a fire in front of the stove, and when she heard Qi Shangyi's voice, she hurriedly pulled up her apron to wipe her tears.

"The kitchen is dirty and messy, don't stain the girl's clothes, I'll be ready in a moment." The eldest lady stood up and said.

Qi Shangyi smiled, walked over to help the eldest lady peel the broad beans in the dustpan, neither of them spoke, and after a while, Qi Shangyi opened his mouth first: "Auntie, don't think I'm nosy, I just want to see if there is anything I can help." ”

The eldest lady stopped the action in her hand, hesitated for a while, sighed, turned around and went to the stove to add some firewood, and then opened: "Our village is called Tashan Village, because there is a low hillside called Tazi Mountain behind the village, three years ago, a demon suddenly lived in the cave of Tazi Mountain, and came out every day to harm the people, making the chickens and dogs restless, and there was no harvest, and then someone went to negotiate with the devil, and the result was that every year to pay tribute to the devil a beauty, the devil will no longer come out to make trouble, and it turned out to be Huiru's turn this year, which is really pitiful." ”

As soon as Qi Shangyi heard that it was a tribute to the devil, he remembered the story of Ximen Qing in the textbook who debunked the river god, and secretly thought, this can't be a scam, but when the eldest mother mentioned Huiru, Qi Shangyi paid attention, and when the two quarreled, Qi Shangyi heard the eldest mother's son say that Huiru was the eldest mother's daughter-in-law who did not pass the door.

Speaking of this eldest lady, she began to wipe her tears again, "This Huiru has been married to my big cow since she was a child, but it will be his turn this year, but we can't help it, if you don't go, the devil will come out to make trouble again in the coming year, and the villagers will definitely blame his family, if you go, Huiru This child is well-behaved and diligent, not to mention his parents, even I feel distressed." ”

"That's why Brother Da Niu is going to kill the demon in the morning?" Knowing her son's name from the eldest mother's mouth, Qi Shangyi called her brother directly.

The eldest lady nodded, got up and cut a big white radish, "I also know that the big cow is the most powerful in the village, but people are human beings after all, and compared to the big monster, they must not be compared, and I can't let him take this risk if I kill him." ”

Qi Shangyi didn't make a sound, turned his head and glanced at the big cow outside the window, the strength of chopping wood was bigger and bigger, it seems that he is also true love for Huiru, how can anyone want to watch the woman he loves die and do nothing, if love is insignificant in the eyes of people, there will be no Liang Zhu and White Snake Biography such a painstaking and unforgettable, forever love story.

"The girl is still on her way today, right?" The eldest lady saw that Qi Shangyi didn't answer and changed the topic, "I'll make some cakes, and I'll take them on the road to eat when the girl leaves." ”

"Well, thank you, auntie." Qi Shangyi was thinking about things, and his mind was full of bleak love stories, and he felt that Liang Zhu's sad tone was humming in his ears, so he didn't say goodbye to his aunt.

After a while, breakfast was ready, the pillars were raised, and the eldest lady called the big cow into the house to eat, and everyone didn't speak, just sullen and eaten.

After eating, the eldest lady went to the kitchen to clean up, and then fed the pigs, Qi Shangyi leaned on the door frame, looked at the big cow sitting on the stone mortar in a daze, and quietly moved over, "Isn't the big cow brother afraid of death?" ”

Qi Shangyi suddenly approached, and said such a strange word, which startled Da Niu, and then lowered his head, "If you can save Huiru, you are willing to die." ”

Qi Shangyi gently walked to the open space opposite him and squatted down, picked up a small wooden stick and teased the chick that was foraging, "If you die, have you ever thought about what will happen to the eldest mother?" She is helpless, she may be bullied by the people in the village, she may become ill because of longing, no one to take care of her when she is sick, no one to support her when she is old, and even after a hundred years, no one will send her to death. ”

"I ......" was said by Qi Shangyi, Da Niu was speechless all of a sudden, indeed his father went early, he and his mother depended on each other, he has grown up in the past few years, he can hunt and make money, and his family life is better, if he is not there, his mother may not want to live, thinking of this, Da Niu lowered his head, reached out to hold his head, his voice trembled a little, and he thought he was crying, "But if you don't kill the demon, Huiru will not be saved." ”

Qi Shangyi threw away the wooden stick in his hand, stood up, lowered his head and straightened the belt around his waist, "I'll help Brother Da Niu kill that demon, right?" ”

Qi Shangyi said very casually, and Da Niu raised his head and looked at Qi Shangyi in disbelief, "You? ”

"Yes!" Qi Shangyi smiled and nodded, although he was not completely sure that he could defeat the demon he had never met, he was still willing to give it a try, on the side, Brother Da Niu had too few chances of winning alone, on the other hand, his swordsmanship really needed a place to fight.

"Miss Qi, I've packed up the carriage and the horses are fed, when are we leaving?" The pillar got everything done and asked with a smile.

Qi Shangyi smiled and said loudly: "Don't go, I'm going to accompany Brother Da Niu to Tazi Mountain to kill demons!" Qi Shangyi deliberately said very loudly, in addition to the pillar, she wanted the lady in the kitchen to hear.

Sure enough, the eldest lady in the kitchen hurriedly rushed out, "Why is the girl also following the devil, this big cow is okay, what are you doing with it!" There was both worry and blame in his tone, thinking that his own big cow might have given up as soon as he was scared by himself, but now this Qi girl is also involved, and the big cow has someone to support her, and she will definitely make trouble again.

"It's just, you can't go!" Zhu Zi hurriedly answered, "Before Ji Gongzi left, he told me to take good care of the girl, anyway, I won't let the girl take this risk." ”

Qi Shangyi smiled directly and stretched out his hand to push the pillar aside, walked in front of the eldest mother, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a flame appeared in the palm of his hand, "Auntie, you see that I have such a kung fu, I will definitely be able to bring Brother Niu and Huiru back safely." ”

The eldest lady had never seen someone who could reach out and turn into fire, she was already stunned, and the big cow on the side of her face was shocked, she didn't expect this thin and slender woman to have such powerful spiritual power.

"Still no," only the pillar had already insisted on his point of view, "Ji Gongzi said, the girl's skills have not ...... yet"

Zhuzi wanted to say that Qi Shangyi was only half a scoop of water, but Qi Shangyi reached out to cover his mouth and threatened fiercely: "You say that my martial arts are not good, believe it or not, I will let you feel it!" ”

The pillar was forced to nod. (To be continued.) )
