Chapter Fifty-Eight: Male and Female
Three days later, Xiao Yi sent Zicheng to return to Beijing first, and together with Su Yu, he really broke through the rivers and lakes.
For this reason, Su Yu was also worried that if Xiao Yi did this, would the emperor be blamed? Xiao Yi shook his head affirmatively, just said that he was a vain and no longer led troops, as for where to go, the emperor would not care, if he returned to Beijing honestly, people with a heart might still have doubts, but a prodigal son, people must think that he can't make any big waves.
Su Yu nodded, then rode his horse and went in the direction of the Tianxuan Sect.
Originally, Su Yu was still very worried about what happened to the missing husband and the second master, but during the period in Fengcheng, someone quietly sent a letter, on which only a few words were simply written.
"Master An Ran, don't read it."
Su Yu read the letter several times, and could vaguely recognize the handwriting on the letter, even though he tried to change the font, there was still a little shadow of Zhulin. Regardless of whether this letter was written by Zhulin or not, the four words "Teacher An Ran" alone were enough to make Su Yu's heart hang for a long time and let go a little.
And now, what Su Yu is best at is fighting with Xiao Yi, and most of the time, Xiao Yi smiled, and then lost, Su Yu got spiritual satisfaction, and reluctantly regarded Xiao Yi as his own person in this great cause of breaking through the rivers and lakes, and then asked Xiao Yi about the demeanor and temperament that he should pay attention to as a hero, and Xiao Yi next to him nodded in response, only this registration number, he was always a little restrained.
According to habit, Su Yu naming new things, always likes to take the documentary route, just like naming Zhulin's new medicine, it is not as good as Tang Zhe and the fancy of scholars, and this time their names, Su Yu thought about it for a long time before he decided on a male and female hero, for which Xiao Yi expressed his opposition, but the opposition was invalid, and Su Yu acquiesced that he had agreed.
But when she met a thief stealing someone's package, Su Yu stepped forward and scolded, after two moves to repel the thief, she saw that the person who was stolen thanked her a thousand times, and when she was waiting for Xiao Yi to help with the registration number, Xiao Yi retreated, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. As a result, Su Yu was a little disappointed in Xiao Yi, thinking that it was better for Tang Zhe to be a scholar, and most of the time, as long as they didn't do their jobs, they could always unite the front.
Therefore, on the next journey, Xiao Yi drove a few miles amid Su Yu's complaints, and finally saw more and more people leaving with their burdens on the side of the road, Su Yu closed his mouth and asked about the news from a family that didn't seem to be poor.
It didn't matter if he inquired, it really made Su Yu inquire about something.
The fleeing man said that they were not poor there, and that most of the people were self-sufficient, but now, demons were rampant, and dozens of miles away from here, there was a blood-sucking demon in their hometown, and every month, the demon had to pick a young man or girl of the right age to kill, and every time someone was found, it had become a dry skin and dry bones.
At first, people thought they had encountered some blood-sucking beast, so they united the people of the whole village to look for it in the forest, but they still found nothing, but every month, the blood-sucking thing continued, and the government also sent people to look for it with the people, but there was still no result.
In private, people must think that it is a demon, and every month to the fifteenth, they have to suck blood once to be satisfied. At the beginning, the rich families would unite to pay money to buy the children of the poor families in the nearby towns and sacrifice them to the demon, but after a while, gradually no one was willing to sell their children here, and the rich people discussed and snatched the young children of the poor families in the village and sacrificed them to the demons, but after a long time, they found that the demon's appetite was like a bottomless abyss, and they could not fill it at all, so the rest of the people in the village began to drag the "" family with their mouths, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong and seek peace.
When Su Yu heard this, he was enthusiastic, so he was not afraid of any demons and monsters, he carried the sword on his back, straightened his waist, and was about to go to the front to kill demons and demons.
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, as if he agreed, and nodded towards Su Yu.
After riding a horse for a few miles, they arrived at the village where the demons were rampant, Su Yu and Xiao Yi took a turn and found that there were only some families left without teenagers and girls, and most of those people were old people, who insisted on guarding their homes, and had seen too many things in their lives, knowing the vicissitudes of the world, and there, they were just surviving.
Looking for a family to spend the night, Su Yu patted her chest and told the old man that she and her companions came to this town to kill demons and eliminate demons, the old man was a little suspicious at first, but under Su Yu's boasting, the old man finally nodded slowly and believed, and with tears in his eyes, he gave Su Yu a full bowl of fried vegetables.
At the beginning of the night, two men came to the village, looking at the figures of the Lian family, and said that they were here to subdue demons and eliminate demons, the old man who received him looked at Su Yu and Xiao Yi in the house, and then looked at the big man in front of him, and finally looked at the vegetables in his pot, and measured the strength of both sides with his eyes.
When this thought arose, the old man looked at the broken table in the room, and saw that a silver ingot had been placed beside the sword, and when the two men had finished their meal, they went back to the room she had arranged.
The people in this village are not too wealthy, and there are not many rooms, the room for Su Yu and Xiao Yi was originally left by the old man to the daughter to be married, but it is a pity that the discipline of the daughter is too loose, once there were a few young Langjun in the village, and the daughter quietly carried her family and ran away with the young Langjun.
At that time, when the old man cried to Su Yu about this matter, he begged again and again, saying that her daughter had a little cinnabar on her eyebrows and a red mole, and if she met it in the future, if she was not doing well, he persuaded her to come home and not suffer outside.
Pity the parents of the world, the daughter has been gone for a long time, the old lady still cleans the room every day, and seeing that Su Yu is the same age as her daughter, she softened her heart and stayed.
Two people, one room, was a little embarrassed, but when the old man asked Su Yu and Xiao Yi if they were husband and wife, they also dispelled this concern and quickly cleaned up the room again.
Su Yu has a mustard, but now the weather is much warmer, the night is still extremely cold, if she does not stay Xiao Yi, then he can only go to the cowshed, Su Yu thinks that he is compassionate and unbearable, so he asked the old man to hang a tent in the house, the old man does not know why, but seeing that the two of them have paid the money and have not lived in vain, they did not ask anything, went to the cabinet for a while, found a coarse cloth tent to hang, and the two of them reluctantly lived in a room.
As for the two big men who came later, they originally planned to leave to go to other people's homes, but when they saw Su Yu and Xiao Yi, they gave up this idea and planned to spend one night in the old family's abandoned cowshed.
When Su Yu entered the room, he looked at the two of them, and pondered their intentions in his heart.
Because it is a coincidence that tonight is the fifteenth day, many people in the village, some of them abandoned their houses and brought money, and they did not want to come back, while others dragged their families and fled to other places to avoid them, and then came back after the fifteenth day.
When he first arrived, Su Yu also inquired carefully, from the beginning to the present, there have been about five or six people who have died, all of them are teenagers and girls, and the time of death is the fifteenth of every month.
Su Yu had learned some of the yin and yang theories from Mr., so he learned from Mr., stretched out his fingers and calculated, although the reasoning was in her heart, she had not yet reached the level of pinching her fingers to look at the sky, but the form still had to be there, so Su Yu calculated for a long time, and concluded that the so-called law of demon killing, is that the yin moon is female and the yang moon is male, and now it is February yin, so as to reason, the target of the demon this month must be a beautiful girl.
Although there are many people in Baishui Village, there are very few girls of the right age who are still left in the village, so she happens to be here this time, just like the fish on the plate, so that the bloodthirsty demon can do it.
And the two in the cowshed outside are playing with her as bait.
However, in Su Yu's opinion, although he doesn't know the details of the two people, no matter whether they are black cats or white cats, they can help catch the bloodthirsty mouse, even if they are good cats.
When she entered the room and was about to lie down, Su Yu saw that Xiao Yi's guy had come over, so her nerves tightened, and she suddenly found that what she should be most wary of now should be Xiao Yi's guy, although she had regressed to the point where she allowed him to go into the house to sleep together, but she could share the same bed, but she was still a little unable to grasp it, and although they were really husband and wife, she looked at this Xiao Yi now and it was a little pleasing to the eye, but but, but, but, there was always something missing in her heart, and Su Yu herself couldn't figure out what it was.
Xiao Yi, who was just about to take off his robe, saw Su Yu's vigilant expression, as if he moved her fingertips, and he would immediately bite back like that frightened little beast, so even if he succeeded forcibly, it might not be what he wanted, so Xiao Yi only hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, picked up a cup from Su Yu's side, went to the tent, and spread it on the ground.
Su Yu's vigilance faded, and he looked at Xiao Yi lying on the ground with his clothes from the gap in the tent, and then touched the earthen kang under him that was burned by the old man's house to a faint fever, and his heart was inevitably a little unhappy, so he got up and went to the side of the tent, poked his head over, and called, "Hey, Xiao Yi." ”
Xiao Yi didn't turn over, his voice seemed to be a little sleepy, and he muttered a little ambiguously: "Yu'er is ready to have a child earlier?" ”
When Su Yu heard this, he suddenly pulled the tent shut, quickly got into the quilt, closed his eyes, and ignored Xiao Yi at all.
