Chapter 54: A Thousand Machines (1)
Beidi is different from Nanshan, the folk customs are quite bold, even when eating, they are snoring, and drinking is also a big bowl of dry, Aman looked at the heroic eating appearance of a big man at the next table at the post station and couldn't help frowning, these people are really rude, thinking that a bandit looks good to eat, there will never be food residues at the corners of his mouth, not to mention the oil and water flowing everywhere along his chin, Aman looks disgusted, Li Muqing is helpless, no matter who this girl sees along the way, what she does, she will compare it with Fengchen bandits, She is so sick that Qiqi said, she is simply terminally ill.
"Aman, we can go to Jizhou City before dark, but let's keep a low profile, I don't want my father and eldest brother to know that I'm back."
Aman nodded his head, and thought in his heart that as soon as he entered Jizhou, he would tie up Li Mutou and take him back to the General's Mansion, looking for someone to do this kind of thing, of course, it is best to have someone to help, and the more people, the better.
Shuoyue was in a complicated mood, she had already written to inform the master in advance, but his old man didn't know how many times he threatened her: If you dare to let the second Terran know about me again, I will kill you. The master is afraid that he can't even use a knife, and he deals with those herbs and bottles and cans every day, and his threats Shuoyue never takes to heart, but the master really doesn't want others to know his identity, but Aman is her friend, and she wants to help her, in short, it's very difficult.
Jizhou City is worthy of being the capital of Beidi, the tall stone city wall and the three-meter-high gate with copper rings make this city look magnificent, and the merchants who come and go make it seem lively here, the men of Beidi are obviously much taller, the hair is relatively vigorous, and the whole person looks very rough, Aman walked all the way, and finally understood how the stinky man in the mouth of the fox demon Qiqi came, and the crowd was filled with a pungent smell that I don't know what it was.
"It's been a long time since I smell barbecue, it's so fragrant."
Li Muqing's longing look made Aman's mouth open wide, she couldn't imagine what she ate would taste like this?
"It's a spice that came from a small tribe on our border, and when it's ripe, it's ground into a powder and sprinkled on the grilled meat, which is a perfect match."
Li Muqing's passionate interpretation made Aman suddenly feel that the taste was not so unbearable, in the past three hundred years, in terms of eating, she has not lost to anyone, she can't let a spice scare her, right?
The two quickly reached a consensus and decided to find a place to eat barbecue first, but Shuoyue, who wanted to leave first, was dragged back by Aman, saying that he wanted to be blessed and shared.
The three of them waited for an hour outside an inconspicuous snack bar before it was their turn to enter the store, Aman looked at everyone with a mouth full of oil, and walked out satisfied, she couldn't help licking her lips, as if even the pungent smell at the beginning had become good, sitting and waiting for the time of half a pillar of incense, a string of small square pieces of meat worn with bamboo sticks were brought up by Xiao Er, the meat pieces were fat and meaty, and the oil on it was still ringing, Li Muqing began to enjoy it regardless of it, and Aman cautiously picked up a string, Looking up and down, left and right, theoretically this should be the same as the grilled fish she usually eats, the most special thing is the powder of the spices evenly spread on the meat pieces, a mouthful of meat into the mouth, Aman felt its specialness, she thought about such a delicious thing, it was a pity that a bandit couldn't eat it.
While the two of them were concentrating on feasting, Shuoyue sneaked out, and she came to an inconspicuous pharmacy in front of her, and slammed the door three times, and after a while, the door opened softly by itself, and Shuoyue looked around to make sure that there was no one, so she dodged in.
The smell of herbs permeated the whole shop, and a man in a lake-blue robe stood in front of a long table, his face was delicate, his figure was thin, a white hosta was simply inserted in his long black hair, his long sleeves were pulled up high, and his slender and slender hands kept tinkering with some unknown flowers and plants.
"You're back?" The man's voice was flat and cold, just like his whole person, he looked like an immortal who did not eat the fireworks of the world, after the man finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy, and he lay down so straight.
"Bang", Shuoyue felt that her back was tight, but she didn't panic, just walked over quickly to help the man up, leaned on the table, took a bowl of water and splashed it directly on his face, only to see the man's eyelids swaying from side to side twice, and gradually sobered up.
"Master, are you eating indiscriminately again?"
"Well, yesterday I went up the mountain and found a novel flower and plant that I have never seen before, I don't know if there is any toxicity, I will do an experiment today, it's a pity, it just makes people's bodies numb, and it's not poisonous."
This idiot is Shuoyue's master, and he is also the demon that Aman is looking for this time, Qianjizi, in order to better live in the human race, he gave himself a very humane name, Shen Qian. The biggest and only hobby in his life is poison, but the human race does not have a shop to sell poisonous weeds, so he had to open a medicine shop, which can not cure any disease, but it can solve all kinds of strange poisons, and for so many years in Jizhou City, people also call him a doctor Shen.
"Master, how old are you, why can't you control your mouth, aren't you afraid that one day you will accidentally poison yourself?"
"I'm eight hundred years old, and Xiao Yue'er forgot that being a teacher is a leading machine, and the world is the most poisonous."
Shen Qian's serious answer made Shuoyue very helpless, she regretted very much that night twelve years ago, why did she wake up by a ghost, and saw the master who should have been paralyzed in her right leg walking like flying, from that night, the master began to be unscrupulous in front of her, breaking the jar and falling, talking and doing things no longer concealed, all by nature, completely ignoring whether she could bear the psychology of an eight-year-old girl at the time.
"Xiao Yue'er, are you being followed?"
"No way, if someone follows me, I will definitely find out, master, I'm a secret guard."
"What if it weren't human?"
"Not a human ......"
The moment Shuoyue was stunned, a familiar voice came,
"Shuoyue, you came to find a friend, why didn't you take me with you?"
Aman walked in with a smile, he had long felt that something was wrong with Shuoyue along the way, but he didn't expect the person he was looking for to find so quickly. The man in front of her made her feel a sense of sympathy, it had been a long time since she had seen the demon clan that was also a grass, and there were no flowers, Aman believed that he would definitely help her.
Shuoyue felt a cold light coming from her, and she looked at Shen Qian helplessly, "Master, you also know that she is not human, but I didn't bring her here on purpose." ”
Ah Man didn't seem to mind Shen Qian's obvious unfriendliness and unwelcomeness, "My name is Ah Man, and I'm Hua Luyue's friend. ”
"So what?" Shen Qian still looks like he is rejecting people thousands of miles away,
Shuoyue knew that her master was not good at all, this kind of climbing relationship was almost useless on him, she also knew that Aman was not a patient person, and if she continued, the two of them should make a move, she hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Aman's hand and stabilized her.
"Aman, you come with me first, my master eats soft and not hard, we need to find another way."
Shuoyue's voice as low as possible did not escape Shen Qian's ears,
"No."
The eviction order was issued, and Shuoyue had to look at Aman hard while pulling her away.
As soon as the two stepped out of the house, the door behind them closed suddenly, Aman couldn't help but clench his hands into fists, but he didn't expect that this machine demon didn't think about the friendship of the same clan at all, just don't treat her well, and don't even let her finish speaking, she now suspects that Hua Luyue must have a deep misunderstanding of the word kindness, just this machine demon, and the beautiful character of kindness is more than 108,000 miles away, but no matter what, she has to endure it, who told her to ask for help.
Shuoyue was only then that she was sure that what Aman said about wanting to ask the master for help was true, or if she hadn't followed her temper, she would have been shouting that she would beat the master fat or something.
"Aman, I want you to promise me two things."
"Okay, you say." Aman knew that Shuoyue wanted to help him.
"I want to know what you're looking for my master?"
"Okay, but it's a bit complicated, I'll talk to you about it in a moment."
"And don't let others know the identity of my master, including the second son."
"This is a bit difficult, Mu already knows that I came to Beidi to find the Trick Demon, or I will cast some spells to make him forget about this?"
Shuoyue hurriedly shook her head, she didn't know if Aman's so-called little spell was harmful, the second son's brain was not good, in case he made him stupid, how could it be good.
"Forget it, the second son, I'll figure it out, speaking of which, where did the second son go?"
"He's coming home." Aman said with a smile that when she was tracking Shuoyue, she was dragging Li Muqing, who was knocked unconscious, all the way, who made the gate of the General's Mansion appear in front of her by chance, of course she threw the dead wood into it.
