Chapter 10 A Pot of Twin Fish
Holding the crumpled piece of paper, Na Jiuye stared at the crooked lines of words on the piece of paper and the bright red handprint, and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "This is a ....... dead end......"
Closing the door with a relaxed face, Xiang Youbao took a straw nonchalantly, and while carefully separating the fighting scorpions that had been put back into the dry pool, he smiled lazily at Na Jiuye: "Uncle Shi, you really didn't see it?" Or are you pretending to be confused? This Debelle is a dry locust, and he will lie on you and suck blood! When all the blood on your body is sucked dry, he will have to eat and chew your skin and bones clean, and then he will not give up! ”
At some point, Nalan's door opened quietly. Nalan, who was standing at the door of the room, fiddled with the big braid that hung down to his waist, and softly echoed Xiang Youbao's words: "In the past three years, Debelle has snatched fifteen or sixteen aggressive scorpions from us!" As long as we say we won't give it, then we will immediately use the reason to repay the money to blackmail us...... This year, it was because we really couldn't take out the aggressive scorpion, so we were forced to pay back the money within three days! Tell me that a boil will get pus sooner or later! It's better to ask Debel to live so hard every day, it's better to ......"
Before Nalan finished speaking, Na Jiuye had already slumped heavily on the chair, and said with a sigh: "My daughter! You're a fool when you're a dad? But if you really let Debelle take away our courtyard, your father can lie down in the cave of the city gate, but what about you? What do you do? ”
Throwing his big braid backwards, Nalan stubbornly whispered, "I'm not afraid!" Isn't it just a shack in the field outside the city and a nest to live in? In the autumn of previous years, I went to catch scorpions in the field, and I also lived in the shed and the nest! ”
Slammed the armrest of the chair, Na Jiuye was obviously angry, and his voice trembled: "You dead girl, why are you so ignorant?!" ”
Before Na Jiu Ye was really angry, Xiang Youbao quickly waved his hand at the indignant Nalan , and turned his face to Na Jiu Ye with a flattering smile: "Uncle, don't be angry!" We have the recipe to practice seven scorpions, and there are some good things like gold and stone to help, are we afraid that we won't be able to win the jackpot at the autumn insect meeting? When the time comes, don't say it's the five hundred oceans that Debel said, I'm afraid that we can still renovate this courtyard well, and by the way, we can save two dowry money for my sister, right? ”
With a gentle sip, Nalan Fei blushed and said, "I'm still a senior brother, why don't you speak seriously at all?!" ”
Playfully pouted at the teapot resting on the edge of the dry pool, and smiled at Nalan with a leopard: "It's still a junior sister, just such a pot of tea, and Debelle drank it alive with his pants and made a note with us!" ”
The blushing on his face was even stronger, and Nalan rushed to Xiang Youbao in a few steps with some embarrassment, pouting his mouth and stretching out his slender slap: "Bring it!" ”
Slightly stunned, Xiang Youbao immediately understood: "Senior sister, wait a minute, I'll go back to the room and write down the recipe with some gold and stones!" ”
With a delicate snort, Nalan rolled his eyes unceremoniously at Xiang Youbao: "You can say it once!" ”
His eyes widened in surprise, and Xiang Youbao couldn't help but whisper: "I really can't see it, junior sister still has the ability to never forget?!" That's okay, there are a total of six flavors of medicine in this prescription, and you can find it in ordinary pharmacies......"
As if it was a treasure, Xiang Youbao happily recited the recipe with some gold and stones. Perhaps he wanted to test Nalan's memory ability, Xiang Youbao deliberately increased his speech speed when reciting the prescription, and even gaged and recited some irrelevant words and sentences upside down. But Nalan, who peeked at his memory, seemed to be undisturbed at all, and his lips moved slightly to repeat the correct prescription.
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Xiang Youbao reached out and took out two pieces of ocean from his arms, and handed them to Nalan, who had obviously memorized the prescription: "Then bother the junior sister to go." If it's a stop...... Shall we have something good to eat in the evening? I heard that the roast duck in Quanjude is very good......"
With a white glance at Xiang Youbao, Nalan snatched the two pieces of ocean handed by Xiang Youbao: "It's so beautiful for you!" You're going to spoil that big elbow left over from yesterday?! ”
Seeing Nalan walk out of the courtyard gate, Xiang Youbao turned his head to look at Na Jiuye, who was still sitting on the chair in a daze: "I said uncle, isn't it just a bureau of the Autumn Insect Society?" How big a scene can it be, see how anxious you ......"
As if he had just woken up from a dream, Na Jiuye looked at Xiang Youbao with distracted eyes: "Isn't it an autumn insect club?" How big can it be? Hey...... Back then, your sister got that disease, because an autumn insect would be born and rushed out, and in the end, she even took her life! ”
Raising his hand and grabbing a small wooden stool, Xiang Youbao sat down in front of Na Jiuye: "I heard the master say that the autumn insect meeting in Sijiu City starts three days before August 15, and tastes grasshoppers, crickets, scorpions and other kinds of insects, and by the third day, each kind of insect can choose a worm king?" ”
With a miserable laugh, Na Jiuye nodded slightly, but shook his head quickly: "In the city of Forty-nine, there is no gambling without a game!" What is the ...... Your master told you? ”
Seeing that Xiang Youbao shook his head slightly, Na Jiuye continued with a miserable smile: "In this Sijiu City, there is such a group of people who have a lot of green-skinned gangsters under their hands. As long as there is a scene of fighting in the ring, how can these people save a game, open a handicap and bet on winning or losing! The corners in the opera garden compete for the scene and sing the stage play, the craftsmen and craftsmen support the stalls to create objects, and even the chef shows his skills on the street every year when he worships the king of the stove, these people will save a game! ”
Nodding quite spiritually, Xiang Youbao replied: "Is it that these people force the people in the ring to lose in order to win or lose the game?" ”
Nodding heavily, Na Jiu Ye said in a muffled voice: "With the skills I practiced in the main gate of the fire back then, it is not difficult to serve a few fighting scorpions, but I can't stand these people who are stumbling on me openly and secretly!" Three years down...... Every time it was at the juncture, either my scorpion jar was smeared with arsenic and camphor, or there was a small stool stuck in the door frame and a dead mouse nailed! Who doesn't want to win....... but how dare I win? ”
Shen groaned and nodded, Xiang Youbao rolled his eyes and muttered, "So there is another such one?" It's no wonder that Uncle Shi, you haven't been able to pay back the money you owe Debellor for three years......"
Nodding listlessly, Na Jiu Ye threw the note in his hand to the ground: "If this is just to deal with the gang of people who are saving the game, it will be simple!" It's a big deal that the bald man follows the moon, and people eat meat and drink soup! But when your master slapped his ass and left, all the rest of the hanging fell on your uncle and me! Regardless of the side, these players who are waiting for the fighting scorpion in Sijiu City are all vigorously competing with the fighting scorpion sent by your uncle at the autumn insect meeting every year! Even if my fighting scorpion is an iron-beaten Arhat, it can't stand up to the group of imps......"
patted Na Jiuye's knee with relief, Xiang Youbao pointed to the fighting scorpions crawling around in the dry pool, and said confidently: "But this year is different from the past!" Now that you have a recipe for serving the Seven Scorpions, Uncle Shi, when my sister buys the medicinal materials with some gold and stones, we have to get a king of insects at this year's Autumn Insect Meeting! ”
Subconsciously pulled out the small pocket containing the philosopher's stone from his chest, and Na Jiu Ye carefully poured the philosopher's stone the size of a finger into his palm, and looked at it carefully in the sun's rays.
In the bright sunlight, the golden yellow light refracted by the translucent philosopher's stone gently projected on Na Jiuye's face. Perhaps bewildered by the slightly magnificent light of the philosopher's stone, Na Jiuye couldn't help but whisper the record of the philosopher's stone: "...... Strange stones fall from the sky, but you can't ask for them! Strong, pungent taste, insects will die when touched! Only with the harmony of the medicine of the minister and the adjuvant, and the feeding of the insects, can make the insects as fierce as a tiger, and the strength is inexhaustible after a long battle! Conquer the heavens and the earth to create ......"
Standing up lightly, Xiang Youbao didn't disturb Na Jiuye, who was immersed in his thoughts, just leaned on the side of the dry pool, staring at the fighting scorpions that were swimming around.
The remaining sixteen fighting scorpions, after being carefully cared for by Na Jiuye, each of them looked extremely strong. Even the subtle thorns on the pliers are clearly variable, and it looks quite terrifying.
Among the sixteen fighting scorpions, there were two fighting scorpions that crawled extremely quickly, which immediately attracted the attention of Xiang Youbao.
One of them, a bruised scorpion, was not outstanding in size, but it crawled more than twice as fast as the others. In the process of crawling, as soon as it is about to bump into other fighting scorpions, this bruised fighting scorpion will immediately curl up its tail, hide next to the nearest dirt or gravel, and put away two very narrow pincers to protect its head, and it will look like an assassin ready to attack.
The other pure black scorpion was completely different, and its body was almost a full circle larger than the other scorpions. In the process of crawling, the strong limbs and feet will occasionally roll around the small stones. When it met the other fighting scorpions, before the other fighting scorpions could open their pincers, the pure black fighting scorpion had already crossed the huge pincers and crashed into it like an angry bull, easily knocking the other fighting scorpions on their backs.
With his teeth and flowers, Xiang Youbao hesitated for a long time before turning back to Na Jiuye, who was staring at the golden stone and didn't even blink his eyes, and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm afraid that we are hitting the luck this time?" A pot of double, this is a legend of the old generation in the main gate of the fire, and no one has ever seen it! ”
With his mouth wide open, Na Jiu Ye looked up to the sky for a long time and snorted: "My own nephew, don't beat your hard-working uncle haha!" A pot of double ...... There are a few intermittent words on the fragment of the strange beast picture in Uncle Shi's hand, saying that after killing hundreds of palace maids and chamberlains in the basin of the king of Xu, the yin qi is soaring to the sky and the soul of injustice is not dispersed, and this is what happened! A pot of double ...... Where did your uncle do such a great evil in his life? ”
Pulling Na Jiu Ye up from the chair, Xiang Youbao pressed Na Jiu Ye next to the dry pond without saying anything, pointed to the two different fighting scorpions and said, "Uncle Shi, take a look for yourself?" I heard the master say that there are two kinds of scorpions in these seven kills, one is to strike backward and kill with one blow, and the other is to rampage and overwhelm people with momentum! Do you take a closer look? ”
Staring at the two fighting scorpions pointed out by Xiang Youbao for a long time, Na Jiuye muttered in disbelief: "It's really ...... Resemble! ”
