The old lady's face suddenly turned cold, stopped, turned around and stared sharply at the scorpion, and at the same time a strange fragrance wafted from the courtyard, and the vines on the corridor moved all the way, gathering the scorpion from all directions.

Feeling the abnormality, the scorpion began to quietly run the "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens" internal strength method in his body, using strong energy to force back those strange air currents that wanted to invade his body, looking at the old lady with a stern face, and asked coldly: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this?" ”

"You're not from the Eastern Wilderness, what is the purpose of coming here? Why do you smell of 'overlord flower'? The old lady's expression became extremely stern, like an extremely stern parent, questioning a child, and at the same time, there was a faint surge of energy in her body, manipulating the plants that were about to move.

The scorpion suddenly burst out with all its energy, and with a wave of its hand in the air, the fragrance in the air disappeared instantly, and at the same time, several flowers in the courtyard that were originally in full bloom suddenly wrapped into flower bones, like mimosas, hiding themselves, and the vines that moved unscrupulously to their side also retreated in the blink of an eye, keeping a distance from the scorpion, as if the scorpion was a flood beast.

The old lady was taken aback, and with a look of horror on her face, she glared at the scorpion.

The scorpion withdrew all his energy, smiled, and explained in a sincere tone: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, although I am not from the Eastern Wilderness, there is absolutely no malice, I am just passing through here." I came from Zhongzhou across the blood domain, and when I got out of the blood domain, I went to a jungle, and I met the 'Overlord Flower', and was drenched on my head by the juice of the Overlord Flower, so I had the smell of 'Overlord Flower' on my body, but you can rest assured. I know the importance of 'Overlord Flower' to the Eastern Wilderness, and I didn't uproot it! ”

"It turns out that you caused that huge commotion in the jungle!" The old lady sighed softly and asked. "Are you just going to stay here for one night and leave?"

"yes, I didn't want to bother you. However, you look at my wolf bèi, I really can't move forward, please forgive me! The scorpion shrugged helplessly and said apologetically.

The old lady's expression softened a little, and she glanced up and down at the scorpion again, put away the energy of manipulating the plant, and did not say anything more. Turn around and continue walking.

The scorpion followed the old lady through the winding corridor, and at the end, he saw a simple and simple courtyard, there were three low bamboo houses on three sides of the courtyard, there was no decoration in the courtyard except for the bluestone pavement and a well, the bluestone road also looked like it was very old, some weeds and wildflowers grew in the cracks of the stone, and there were some moss on the bluestone. The princess of the Snowy King

Walk into the small courtyard. The old lady stopped in front of one of the bamboo houses, turned her head to look at the scorpion behind her, and said lightly in her old voice. "It's no better than the City of Flowers. The conditions are a little worse, I hope that the objective will not be surprised! ”

"I think it's very good, it's very quiet, and it has a feeling of living in a comfortable place!" The scorpion looked around and said with a smile on his face, "By the way, mother-in-law, my name is Scorpion, you can call me Scorpion directly in the future!" ”

The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at the scorpion lightly. didn't seem to want to get close to the scorpion, and still pushed the bamboo house away with a cold look. Walked in.

The bamboo house is really not ordinary, there is only one bed in it. A square table and two benches. The bed was made of two long stools supported by a bamboo plank, and there was nothing on the square table except an oil lamp. Fortunately, the bamboo house was clean and spotless, and the scorpion glanced at the old lady in front of him, and saw that the old lady was busy and diligent, and she should have been cleaning this idle house often.

"Objective, you take a rest first, I'll go get you some bedding!" The old lady said.

"Then there's Granny Lao!" The scorpion politely replied.

The old lady glanced at the scorpion, did not speak again, and walked straight out of the house.

"Hey! Mother-in-law, I wonder if I can take a bath here? You see, the juice of this 'overlord flower' is left on my body, I am really uncomfortable, I look like a wolf, I can't sleep in bed, and it will stain your bedding, right? Just as the old lady was about to leave the bamboo house, the scorpion remembered the most important thing and hurriedly called out to the old lady and said.

The old lady looked back at the scorpion, and still said lightly in that calm tone: "I'll go get you a basin, and you can dig some well water to wash yourself!" If you want hot water, the kitchen is in the front yard, and there is some dry wood in the kitchen, you can use it as much as you want! ”

The conditions are really difficult! The scorpion sighed secretly in his heart, but looking at the old lady's age, he was embarrassed to ask too much, and he couldn't let an old man in his seventies and eighties, who would breathe when he walked two steps, serve him, boil hot water for himself, and move all the way from the front yard to the backyard, and the scorpion felt that he would be embarrassed to even use other people's firewood. She smiled and said, "Thank you mother-in-law!" By the way, mother-in-law, you tell me where the basin and bedding are, I can take it myself! "The trivialities of being born again

"No need, my old woman is still doing this, you better rest in the house!" The old lady said unappreciatively.

The scorpion pursed his lips and said in his heart, what an awkward old lady who refuses to be thousands of miles away, but fortunately, her heart is not bad, and she is willing to take her in, otherwise it will be really miserable to sleep in the open with the smell of the whole body.

With the basin sent by the old lady, the scorpion fetched some well water, returned to the house and scrubbed it briefly, feeling much more comfortable. When the necessary things were done, the scorpion sat down at the table, and then it felt that the room was dark, and the scorpion took out the fire fold, lit the oil lamp, and found that there was not even the simplest teapot and cup in the room. The scorpion reluctantly stood up and dragged his tired body out of the house. With the memory of his visit, the scorpion quickly walked through the corridor to the restaurant in the front yard.

When he raised his feet and was about to step into the restaurant, the scorpion suddenly found that there were weeds and flowers in the cracks in the bamboo floor of the restaurant, and they looked exactly like the weeds and flowers in his own small yard. The scorpion recalled the road surface he had walked all the way, whether it was a bluestone paved or muddy path, or a bamboo plank floor, such weeds and small flowers could be seen in almost all inconspicuous places such as their cracks and corners, and even the barren open space outside the restaurant seemed to have such weeds and small flowers, the scorpion touched his nose and said in his heart, it seems that these weeds and small flowers are not ordinary flowers and plants! The world of cultivators is really unguardable, and the danger factor is very high!

"What else is needed for objectivity?" Just as the scorpion was paying attention to the small flowers and grass on the ground, the old lady's old voice came from behind her, startling the scorpion.

The scorpion smiled embarrassedly and said, "I want to come and find some water to drink!" There was no teapot, no cup, and no water in the house! ”

"The water is boiling in the pot, and when the water boils, the old student will help you make tea! I'll send you to the house later! The old lady said.

"What's so embarrassing about that? I guess I'd better wait here, and when the tea is ready, I'll bring it back myself! Mother-in-law, if you need any help, just call me, don't be polite to me! For example, boiling water, chopping wood, etc., you can do it! The scorpion said enthusiastically.

"Then you just wait here for a while, and soon the tea will be ready!" The old lady thought for a moment and said.

The scorpion smiled, and it seemed that the old lady's impression of herself had begun to change a little. casually found a place to sit down, and the scorpion held his cheeks and waited unhurriedly. Nine turns of the stars change

Just as the old lady walked into the restaurant with a teapot, a sharp knock suddenly came from outside the door. The scorpion raised his head curiously, and said in his heart, this place where ghosts don't, will anyone come so late?

The old lady put the teapot on the counter, still unhurried, walked to the door, opened the door a small crack, and asked the same question as when she first met the scorpion: "Is there anything wrong with the guest officer?"

"Aren't you a restaurant here? Hurry up and call the boss out, we want to eat! An impatient female voice came, and at the same time, the wooden door of the bamboo house was suddenly pushed open, and the old lady staggered backwards, almost not falling.

The scorpion frowned, looked at the eight men and one woman who walked in in disgust, seven of them were men in uniform clothes, and the stars were surrounded by a man in white and a woman in a green dress, as soon as the woman entered the room, she found a place to sit down, and then looked up at the slow old lady, and asked impatiently: "Why are you still here, didn't you ask you to call the boss?" What about your boss, are you still in business? ”

"Guest officer, there is always one person here, I don't know what the guest officer wants to eat, I will help you do it!" The old lady took out the brown paper that had been shown to the scorpion from her pocket, handed it to the group, and said respectfully.

"You? You're so old, can you eat what you make! The woman glanced at the old lady with disgust and said unhappily.

"This restaurant is taken care of by my mother-in-law alone, if you dislike it, you can go to the nearest flower city to eat! There should be quite a few restaurants there! The scorpion, who really couldn't stand it, said in a weird way.

"What are you, how can you speak here?" Before the woman could speak, the man in white beside her frowned, looked at the scorpion and scolded.

The scorpion shrugged and stopped talking.

At this time, the woman also turned her head to look at the scorpion, and when she saw the appearance of the scorpion, the woman couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said in her heart, there is such a peugeot man in the world, who is even more beautiful than a woman! couldn't help but feel a little more fond of the scorpion, and said with a smile on his face: "I see that you look pleasing to the eye, why don't you cook it for us, I think I will have an appetite for the dishes you make!" ”

The scorpion smiled at the woman, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a guest like you!" (To be continued)
