Chapter 212: Meet the White Fox
Nie Shuyao said this with a smile, but the deep meaning of the words was not something that ordinary people could understand.
The young man didn't understand, so he stiffened his neck and gritted his teeth, "Believe it or not, I can steal that you don't even have pants left?" ”
Nie Shuyao nodded solemnly, "Letter!" That's because of the faith. Don't be angry, young man, I'm talking about you. You are very powerful, but there are so many powerful people in the world that if you don't stop, it is likely to affect your relatives. ”
"Humph!" The young man was full of vigor, and took the timid little beggar and went to the room.
The corners of the old beggar's mouth moved, and he never said anything reproachful, but just apologized to Nie Shuyao constantly, "The old man will definitely tell my grandson well, please let the girl let us go." ”
Nie Shuyao didn't think about what to do with them, not to mention that he was sure of the mystery. They really didn't get the medicine, so they waved their hands and let them go.
The night passed peacefully. I didn't hear who had lost their luggage or whose money had flown away, and it seemed that the old beggar was really planning to stop.
This is a good thing in Nie Shuyao's opinion, but the young man looks a little restless, it is a self-righteous, invincible impulse in the world, the consequence of this impulse is often the price of blood, I hope that the old beggar can spend his old age in peace.
They set off early in the morning, and the old man still followed behind the convoy, but after a few days of getting along, everyone was no longer so wary of him, and they could get together for dinner.
The old man is worthy of being a master of storytelling, and he has traveled from south to north, and some stories are vividly displayed in front of him as soon as he tells them.
On this day they took a lunch break in the grove by the roadside, and the old man began to flaunt his knowledge again.
Nie Tianxi walked up to Nie Shuyao and whispered, "Sister, what do you mean by an old man?" Does he want to buy people's hearts? ”
Nie Shuyao smiled: "Then buy it." When we are about to arrive at Huaishu Village, let Yuqin and them follow Steward Xu, and a few of us will go to Huaishu Village. ”
Nie Tianxi nodded and said, "When the time comes, let Brother Da Niu follow them, so that they can take care of them." ”
"Good! That's it. ”
After the rest, everyone moved forward again, but as they walked, the official road ahead suddenly broke off. It was the mudslide that blocked the road, and you can also see the officials and people cleaning it up.
The official road is different from the ordinary road, which is the only way for the official family to issue official documents, which may delay major events for a day, so the officials also attach great importance to this matter.
Da Niu came back to tell Nie Shuyao about this, and asked her to make an idea, whether to return to the inn while it was still dark or think of another way.
Nie Shuyao gathered everyone to talk about the matter, and Steward Xu and Steward Sun felt that it was safer to go back to the inn.
The old man said: "I am very familiar with this road, why don't you let me lead the way for you, bypassing this mountain and returning to the official road in less than an hour." ”
At this moment, a messenger to the official family came running from behind, and he seemed to have taken this road often, and when he learned that the road in front of him was blocked, he rode his horse into the trees.
Nie Shuyao asked, "Our car is big, can we go over?" ”
The old man packed the ticket and said, "Don't worry, I'm familiar with this road." ”
Steward Xu and Steward Sun looked at the sky and agreed, even if the road was impassable, it wouldn't take much time to go back. The old man smiled and drove the car ahead of everyone into the woods.
Although it rained for the first two days, the sun was very strong every day after the sunny day, and the road that I often walked was already dry. The same is true of the road in the woods, where there are two ruts, and their carriage is too big to press the ruts, which is a great test of the skill of the charioteers, and it is a little slower.
The old man who walked in front was smiling, and said to the big bull riding a horse: "Big brother, you can take a look, old man, I don't eat for nothing and don't do things, I guarantee that you will be on the official road within an hour." ”
Da Niu nodded, and said that he had worked hard.
Behind them was Nie Shuyao's carriage, and in the car, the corners of Nie Shuyao's lips were curved, and she didn't know what the old man's purpose was. But if he co-opted the big bull, it would be a mistake, and the big bull she knew was not the kind of person with soft ears.
The carriage swayed into the depths of the dense forest, and by this day they had traveled more than three hundred miles, nearly half of the journey, and on the whole it was quite smooth.
The car shook so badly that Parsley and Walnut couldn't do needlework, so they looked out the window in unison.
The forest here is so large that I don't know where it stretches, and the messenger who ran ahead of them is long gone. Wherever the carriage went, the birds in the forest flew wildly, which made the deep forest a little mysterious.
Nie Shuyao also looked out the window, she felt that it was really easy to do something in such a forest. I felt a little guilty of wanting to hurry up earlier, a few of them knew nothing about kung fu, but it was too unfair to Steward Xu.
Jiang Yi also came to her carriage at this time, stretched his head to the window and said, "Shu Yao, I don't think it's quite right, this forest is too quiet. ”
Nie Shuyao nodded and said, "I think so too, why don't you let the old man stop." Let's go back to the inn, it's better to be safe! ”
"Good!" Jiang Yi hurried over.
After a while, the old man's voice came from indifferent to fear, "What are you afraid of?" I've been on this old man's road I don't know how many times, that's it. Don't be afraid! And here it is. ”
As he argued, the forest became quieter.
Nie Shuyao opened the window leading to Wu Niang's driver's seat and said, "Wu Niang, stop!" ”
"Phew!" Wu Niang grabbed the reins suddenly, the carriage stopped, and she was also panting with exhaustion. Wiping his sweat, he asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"Stop and talk about it first."
As soon as their carriage stopped, so did the cars behind them.
Nie Tianxi rode over and asked, "Sister, what's going on?" ”
Nie Shuyao instructed: "Xi'er, let them get in the car and close the door, you also pay attention to safety, you always feel that something is wrong." ”
A car was arranged, and even the young man who was driving the car was hidden in the car. Nie Shuyao also sat in the driver's seat for Wu Niang.
At this moment, the old man was gone, and shouted, "What's the matter? Why don't you go. Half a forest away from the official road. ”
Nie Shuyao was silent, her mind was highly concentrated, and she heard the sound of grass and trees rubbing in the dense forest. I was shocked in my heart, but don't encounter a robbery.
After a while, the old man stopped calling, for there was not a single bird in the woods.
"Well, this can't be a wolf." The old man stuttered and said that he was also afraid.
However, the horses did not panic, which made Nie Shuyao feel a little relieved, at least this was not a wolf. But if you meet someone with bad intentions, it is still terrible.
"Woo!" There was a voice like this from the woods.
Everyone's attention followed the sound, and from not far from Nie Shuyao's car, a white fox walked very elegantly and beautifully.
Beside it were two little white foxes, staring at Nie Shuyao and his party with blue eyes.
Nie Shuyao muttered to herself: "What a beautiful little fox." ”
For such a beautiful appearance and such a cute little thing, a girl will be captured lightly.
"Oh, this is, this is the white fox, it's terrible!" The old man let out a loud sigh and sat down in the car a little frightened.
The people present were all ancients, and they believed in things like fox monsters. As soon as such a beautiful and aura white fox appeared, everyone felt that this thing was not simple, and no one had the intention of hurting them.
Although Jiang Yi didn't have their thoughts, he wouldn't attack a fox without complaint.
Nie Shuyao couldn't care so much, she took out two pieces of jerky from her backpack and beckoned to the little fox, "Come on, here you are." ”
To be on the safe side, she never got out of the car.
The little fox was really spiritual, looked at the big fox, and then at the jerky, and boldly walked over. After looking back and forth again and again, he boldly picked up the jerky and ran to the big fox. The big fox didn't leave the same place all the time.
The big fox looked down and sniffed the dried meat that the little fox had brought over, and the little fox gnawed on it.
"Hehe, they're so smart!" Nie Shuyao chuckled, the smile on his face was from the heart. At the same time, I was relieved that it was because of them.
When the jerky was finished, Nie Shuyao wanted to continue walking, but at this moment, he heard a rapid sound of gongs.
She sighed, "Something happened." ”
The sound of this gong made everyone's hearts rise to their throats. The big fox also pricked up its ears and whined.
And then there's the shouting of the humans.
"Found it, found the fox fairy!"
"Where, where?"
As the sound got closer, the big fox became more and more uneasy, and even bared its sharp teeth. Even the horses were a little uneasy and flicked their hooves.
Seeing that someone was running towards this side, the big fox simply picked up the two little foxes at the same time, and jumped on the roof of Nie Shuyao's carriage at once, just looking at the humans who came running condescendingly.
"Ah, Miss!" Yuqin saw the fox running to the roof of the car from the window several times, and they all screamed.
Nie Shuyao said in a low voice: "Don't scream! Foxes are not scary. Whatever happens, try to hold steady and keep the door shut. ”
Hearing this, Yuqin quickly closed the door and window as if she had a backbone.
In a few moments, a group of people stood in front of their carriage.
The leader was a young old man, with gray hair and beard, but his eyes were not very kind.
He said to Nie Shuyao: "Hurry up and hand over our fox fairy, we will let you leave the woods, otherwise, hum, don't blame us for being ruthless!" ”
Nie Shuyao held the small leather whip hidden in his sleeve, and looked at these villagers with hoes and sticks in their hands, as long as they were not robbers.
Nie Tianxi also touched the sleeve arrow, and also didn't look at these villagers.
There are also Da Niu and Jiang Yi, their hands are on the package hanging on the horse, which is their weapon.
Seeing that there was about to be a fight between the two sides, the old man was in a hurry, and he jumped out of the carriage and took two steps, although his legs were also trembling, but he still walked in front of the man.
The confronting villagers focused their attention on him, and the old man at the head shouted: "Hurry up and return our fox fairy!" ”
The old man sneered twice and said, "Listen! When the fox fairy found us, it recognized us, and your village must have offended the fox fairy somewhere, so it came to us. Why don't you let the fox fairy leave, do you want to bring disaster to the village? ”R1152
