Chapter 100: Nomura (I)

This is the second time Ji Hongxiang has used the teleportation array, and this feels ...... It's still bad. In a burst of vertigo, she grabbed the arm of the seventeenth prince tightly, and the seventeenth prince's face looked much better than hers. She rested for a while, and then she had the leisure to observe her surroundings.

Surrounded by sparse trees and smoke rising from the stove not far away, it looks like a small village. Ji Hongjiao folded a weed at his feet, sniffed it, and said, "The faint fishy smell, the grass roots are red, it is a common weed in the southern realm." It is said in the "Geographical Chronicle". ”

The Seventeenth Prince also agreed with her statement, and said, "We are lucky not to be thrown into the Void Sea outside the realm, but we have not reached the capital of the Southern Realm. Presumably before we reached the finish line, the formation went out of order and threw us out. Let's go to the house in front of us and ask. ”

The two walked along the overgrown path, and it wasn't long before a quaint village came into view.

This village is not big, you can see all these houses at a glance, and there are only more than 30 households, all of them have chimneys, and only seven or eight families have stoves. At the entrance of the village is a big stone lying horizontally, engraved with three big characters "Lijia Village".

Ji Hongxiang decided to go to the house of the person with cooking smoke to ask first, walked a few steps, and found that the seventeenth prince did not follow, and when he looked back, he found that he was holding a rusty broken sword in his hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is that?" ”

The seventeenth prince also shook his head and pointed to the ground. Ji Hongxiang looked in the direction he pointed, there was a small dark hole on the ground, looking at the shape of the hole, probably the broken sword was inserted in it just now, and he pulled it out for some reason.

The seventeenth prince said dissatisfiedly: "This thing tripped me just now, really!" The appearance is also very old-fashioned. "What magic weapon does he want, he doesn't look down on this thing at all, and as soon as he throws it away, the broken sword flies away.

Ji Hongxiang shrugged, forget it, it's all tattered like that anyway, it is estimated that it is something that no one wants. She looked back, and in the blink of an eye, she saw someone coming out of the house at the edge of the village. When he saw someone, the seventeenth prince came to his senses, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and asked, "Auntie, how far is it from the city?" ”

This village is full of ordinary people without spiritual power, this lady wears a red coarse linen dress, and has a woman's hair bun on her head, about forty years old, has been in charge of housework for a long time, and has a rough life, causing her face to be wrinkled, looking like she is in her fifties. It seems that there have been no outsiders in the village for a long time, and the eldest lady's expression is a little wooden, and she replied solemnly: "Our Lijia Village is an ordinary person, so it is far away from the city." ”

The tone was a little stiff, with a sense of defensiveness and alienation from outsiders.

The seventeenth prince took out a high-grade spirit stone, and the eldest lady's expression instantly became lively, as if she had been switched on or off, and suddenly opened the chatterbox, took the hand of the seventeenth son, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, what a good guy!" Looking at your beautiful clothes, you must all be monks, right? From our village, we have to cross five mountains, two rivers and one town to reach the city! It's not early in the day, the miasma in the forest outside our village is the strongest at night, even the monks will suffer, why don't you go to the eldest mother's house for dinner, and I'll take you away early in the morning! Take a shortcut! ”

After finishing speaking, she greeted Ji Hongxiang again, smiling: "Your daughter-in-law is so handsome, the young man is really blessed, much better than my dog." It's a monk! ”

Even Ji Hongxiang didn't react, moved her lips, and wanted to say that you misunderstood, but she was pulled by the aunt's rough palm and went to the house.

I haven't seen the enthusiasm of the villagers, this moment, the seventeenth prince's face is a little not good, he pumped his hand, but he didn't succeed, so he had to be frustrated and pulled back to the house by the eldest mother with Ji Hongmakeup.

Ji Hongxiang gave the seventeenth prince a slightly calm look.

The southern realm is a peculiar place, the gravitational pull of the earth is greater than that of other realms, and the magnetic field is also relatively strong, and the obstruction in the air is very large, resulting in very few birds in the southern realm that can soar in the sky, most of them are short-distance gliding, and the same is true for monks, they can't fly in the sky for a long time in the southern realm, so there are more teleportation arrays in the southern realm, as long as they can enter the town with a teleportation array, they can reach the nearest city through the teleportation array.

However, listening to this eldest lady, she and the seventeenth prince have to reach the nearest town, and they have to go over all kinds of mountains and mountains, which is definitely a physical work that will tire people into dogs! Not to mention that there is a miasma at night, why not rest for a night at the eldest mother's house today, and let people take a shortcut the next day, which can not only save energy, but also save the distance to the greatest extent, why not?

The seventeenth prince is not stupid, he went through it in his mind, but he agreed.

As soon as he entered the door, he was not ambiguous in his hands, and directly stuffed a high-grade spirit stone to the eldest mother: "I will be entertained tonight." ”

The spirit stone once again exerted its unique and charming charm, and the eldest lady entertained them with great enthusiasm, and even slaughtered a fat hen with a smile on her face.

The two of them also ate coarse vegetables and light rice, and during the period, the eldest lady kept talking, smiling and chatting with the two. After all, with his background, it was the first time he had come into contact with such an ordinary person facing the loess with his back to the sky.

The eldest mother, surnamed Zheng, became a widow eight years ago and raised her son alone. There are a total of 28 households in the village, and every seven or eight days, the young and strong laborers of each family have to organize a hunting trip to the mountains, and they can basically return with a full load in three days. Yesterday the hunting party in the village had just left, and the village was almost half empty.

Ji Hongxiang was a little curious: "The young and middle-aged people in this village have all gone out, so the rest are women, the elderly and children, what if there are bad people coming?" ”

Aunt Zheng smiled strangely and changed the topic: "Auntie, I have lived a handful of years, and I don't have much money, but I still have eyesight, look at the two of you are young and tender, ......"

"Click", the chopsticks in Ji Hongxiang's hand crushed a piece of tender chicken. I don't know why, seeing that the chicken is getting fatter and tenderer, she has no appetite anymore.

……

It wasn't until the vegetable oil lamp was extinguished at night that Ji Hongxiang felt a little regretful, and now she was very hungry.

There are only two rooms in the eldest mother's house, one for her to live in, and the other for her son, after she tidied up the room, she let Ji Hongxiang and the seventeenth son live in - it is said that the eldest mother has always misunderstood their relationship.

After the seventeenth prince looked around the house, the wrinkles between his eyebrows could kill flies, and he took out a clean white brocade cloth from the space magic weapon and spread it on the ground: "You sleep on the bed, I meditate here." ”

Ji Hong was hungry, and the exhaustion in her body seemed to come up all of a sudden, she just wanted to close her eyes to recuperate, but she fell asleep in a daze.

After a long time, a blinding light woke her up.

It was dawn and it was already morning.

"It's dawn so soon......," she grumbled, and got out of bed with her groggy head propped up.

However, only a piece of white forest brocade cloth remained on the ground under the bed, and the seventeenth prince had disappeared.
