Chapter 5: Xiao Qian
"Where is the most chaotic world in the world?" A man with curly hair sat at a table, and a dozen or so people in different clothes and at different tables were listening to him.
Without waiting for the listeners to answer, he slapped the table and shouted, "O Plains of Battles, everyone! ”
"Cut! Who doesn't know! The crowd burst into laughter.
"Hey, that's before! Now......" The curly-haired man sneered, deliberately halting.
It wasn't until someone couldn't resist being curious and urged again and again that he continued: "Fang Wuyuan! ”
"A few days ago, the 'Don't Return to the God of Killing' slaughtered five cities in a row, and the blood flowed and the whole stream was dyed red. Fang Wuyuan's trainees are really suffering. Gee. ”
Everyone inhaled one after another, lamenting that their lives were not the worst.
Although there are many princes in Dongzhou, and wars are frequent, there is probably no other semicolon for those who slaughter the city after being defeated in a battle like 'Killing God Without Returning'.
Some people who know the curly-haired man can't help but ask: "Liu Fajuan, why do you know about Fang Wuyuan?" You were scared to death last time you did a mission, but you haven't been out of the post house door for half a month. ”
The loud laughter reached Mo Yun's ears as he stepped through the door. He didn't have to guess to know that it was Liu Fajuan who was being buried.
Over there, Liu Fajuan shouted that he wanted to compare wine with the person who buried him, and he had to say that in which vassal kingdom there was a law to punish the crime of defamation.
A group of people were worried that they had nothing to do, so they coaxed one after another, and Mo Yun stood a little farther away and smiled and shouted for a while.
The shopkeeper of the inn was a little farther away from the group of them, holding his head in front of the long desk towards the gate and smiling at the group of customers messing around.
The shopkeeper saw Mo Yun walking towards the long case with a smile on his face, and quipped: "You kid is very happy outside, where has this leg been soft, tell me quietly, I promise not to shake it out for you." ”
"Less nonsense, this is my thing, yours, take it out." Mo Yun rolled his eyes and took out a bamboo strip that was a finger wide, on which the location, affairs, grade points, reviews, and fees of this mission were detailed.
The shopkeeper took the bamboo strip, looked at it carefully, and took out a large bamboo board from under the long table:
"Last night, 'Lang Pavilion' blew up in the dock fort in the Plains of Zhuzhan. We all have aftershocks here. I'm still worried about you, I didn't think you were lucky, after all...... Hehe, tasks like chopping wood aren't all that thrilling. ”
Mo Yun's expression tightened, and when he saw that the shopkeeper just casually mentioned it and teased him, he relaxed a little.
He tilted his head on the long table and looked towards the large bamboo board.
On the bamboo board are three moving squares, each with a different number of squares, each with a name written on it. At the top, it is written in light ink: "Ranger Grade Point List." There is also a small line next to it - "Level 1".
The shopkeeper dialed the square with the words "Mo Yun" to the top: "Well, yes, if you chop wood twice, you can be promoted to a second-level ranger, how many years have I been doing this, I haven't seen you so easy." ”
Mo Yun laughed twice: "Shopkeeper, let me ask you something, if I finish the task outside, and then lead the party to add the task, will I calculate the grade points?" ”
"Huh....... You kid really don't treat yourself as an outsider, the two major ranger associations in the north and south are the most shameful people like you who take advantage of loopholes, once you find out, you don't want to be mixed up? The shopkeeper's lips closed one by one, and he lowered his head and said, "Five plants." ”
"What?" The corners of Mo Yun's mouth twitched.
"Hush money, five ice spirit grasses. As the person in charge of the Southern Ranger Association in this station, I also have a supervisory role anyway. I don't have to pay a price, I just want my ears to be clean, I think it's simple. ”
"Six! Do me another favor. Mo Yun thought that the last time the old woman gave her a total of ten ice spirit grasses, and she casually asked about six of them, and her heart hurt.
"Deal." After listening to Mo Yun's request, the shopkeeper readily agreed, "There are pastries sent by the villagers nearby before leaving, you can bring them to Xiao Qian to taste." Mo Yun waited for the two sides to finish the settlement, and immediately went upstairs with a plate of pastries and other bits and pieces.
......
The inn has two floors, and the rooms are on the second floor.
"What are they arguing about?" Mo Yun pushed open the door, and a slightly hoarse voice asked curiously.
"Liu Fajuan relied on his literacy, and he knew about the slaughter of the city by 'not returning to the killing god' in the post newspaper, and he was buried when he bragged to others, and he made a lot of noise. Have you slept well in the past two days, I heard the shopkeeper say that a dock fort blew up, you weren't scared, right? ”
Mo Yun picked up the smallest piece of pastry and threw it towards a corner of the room.
A black shadow jumped out, and because its body was too heavy, it slammed into the floor with a thud, shaking the floor to ashes.
"I can't kill you." Mo Yun smiled, and when he saw the stone mortar on the table, his face sank, and he couldn't help but sigh, "There are only ten plants in total this time, and now there are only four left, which is really unlucky." ”
The black shadow meowed as if to comfort him, and seeing that Mo Yun didn't care, he immediately snorted and feasted on the small pastry.
There was a bed in the room, and two layers of quilts covered a thin body, revealing only a sweaty, sallow face.
This is a little girl who looks like she is about ten years old.
"Did you do a good job?" Xiao Qian carefully broke open the pastry handed by Mo Yun, only put a small half in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and the rest was eaten clean by the cat who was watching him.
"I know how to eat, one day we didn't have anything to eat on the road, so we picked your skin and barely ate it." Mo Yun frightened. The cat meowed pitifully a few times, but even so, he still didn't forget to eat the pastries handed by Xiao Qian again.
"There's nothing wrong with eating more, no one knows if there will be a way to live tomorrow." With a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Xiao Qian stroked the cat that was lying on the edge of the bed after being full.
"No, I swore to your parents that I would take care of you. What's more, I'm a ranger now, and the first thing a ranger does: never give up on a mission. Commitment is the life of a ranger! Mo Yun puffed up his chest and patted the petals on his clothes, which were the logo of a first-class ranger.
"You weren't a ranger then." Xiao Qian said stubbornly.
"It's the same way to be a human being." Mo Yun poured the ground ice spirit grass slurry on the gauze and lifted the quilt wrapped in Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian's body instinctively shrank back, trying to dodge.
Mo Yun looked apologetic, looking at the base of Xiao Qian's thighs, where there should have been legs, but it was empty.
Xiao Qian raised the corners of her mouth and laughed at herself: "That's fine, how much travel expenses have been saved." Otherwise, I don't know where to leave my life right now. Now it's good to read books in this house every day and tease the cat. ”
"You can see it." Mo Yun opened his mouth and said half of the words, and then silently removed Xiao Qian's old gauze and replaced it with a new one.
"Is Fang Cha dead? It's been more than half a year, and there is no news, and even this fat cat has begun to spring at night. The Ice Spirit Grass is gone for the time being, and the old woman has left the small forest, so she guesses that all the things she has collected are complete. By the way, she also gave me a clasp. Mo Yun took off the clasp around his neck and handed it to Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian gritted his teeth and was stunned for a while, took the button, and said in a hissing voice: "Fang Cha's Xuanyi is still protecting my leg, and the wound has not continued to deteriorate. Xuanyi is connected to the Xuanshi's life, and if it does not disperse, it means that the person is not dead. You have to call her Granny Lan, an old woman, and you are embarrassed to take on the task of giving you practice points...... Hiss ......."
Mo Yun hurriedly gave Xiao Qian a horn stick to hold, and the fat cat watched the owner's eyes enlarge the painful expression beside him, and couldn't help but meow sadly.
After a while, Xiao Qian, who had eased up, washed his body, wrapped himself in the quilt and touched the fat cat and said in a dumb voice:
"The last time you told me that Granny Lan used the lining of the dead to burn the stove, and the smoke and birds that spewed out were extinct, I have already found some clues from the booklet given by Fang Cha."
Mo Yun used a knife to uncover the ice spirit grass gauze just now, and carefully scraped it sideways on the dead flesh that had been turned out at the base of his thigh.
Xiao Qian's brows furrowed, and he didn't shout at the top of his voice.
Compared to the Ice Spirit Grass burning his body, this scraping of dead flesh doesn't hurt much. Xiao Qian paused for a moment every time she said a few words, and gave the clues she got one by one:
"This is a kind of Xuanshi refining weapon. The simplest is the 'class', a kind of little servant who can be guarded. The most complex is called 'puppet', which no longer belongs to the category of instruments, but is close to the creation of gods. ”
"God-making? The heavens are above, the demons are below, and the beasts are in the middle. The archpriest hasn't done it for six thousand years, and I don't believe the old woman has the ability to do it. I'm just a little ranger, just ask casually, don't worry, just take care of your body. Fang Chake said that he would give you a good pair of legs. The old woman said she would see me again in the future. This is a mess, I hope I can see it. ”
Xiao Qian gritted his teeth, didn't speak, gasped, squeezed his eyelids and said: "I can't understand this button, wait until we meet Fang Cha again one day, show him, he is a person on the Xuanshi Dao, he must understand it." ”
The two of them were chatting word by word, when there was a sudden knock on the door, and a hoarse male voice like a broken gong shouted:
"Master!"
Mo Yun slapped himself in the face, gritted his teeth and said, "You can't live if you do your own evil." My six Ice Spirit Grasses! ”
......
"Tian Dakou, do you do it or not?" A voice in the drowsy room asked.
"I don't know that kid, I don't know him well." Tian took a big bite and took a bite to say.
"You have to know one thing, whether you can survive or not, it depends on whether you give me a clear word." Then the voice continued, "There are two left in your scavenger squad. If you don't say anything, I'll kill another one in the middle of the hour." ”
"You sons of bitches, you don't have to die well!"
"You hold on, see how long you can last." The voice was neither hurried nor slow.
Tian Dakou still scolded.
After a long time, the voice said, "There are only two left, Tian Dakou." ”
Tian sighed: "As long as my two brothers can still live." I...... I'll do it. ”
......
In another room, Asha was woken up by a basin of boiling water.
