Chapter 50: Pick up the job
It's a shameless night.
The black clouds obscured the Taixuan star, and the sky was full of stars. There are black holes all around, and you can't see your fingers. Occasionally, an unknown monster scream was heard, which was very infiltrating.
After the caravan stopped early and was ready for the rain, everyone raised the fire, and gathered in twos and threes, and few people walked back and forth.
In the middle of the convoy, the three Scars once again rejected Qian Jiu's kindness, lit a bonfire, set up half a piece of pigs and beasts, and chatted while roasting.
"How's it going, brother?" Scar chuckled, "Do you have the confidence to take the little girl home?"
Shi Zhongxiong glanced at the carriage not far away, shook his head in disappointment, and expressed his troubles.
"It's hard to say, you also saw it, if it wasn't for the eldest nephew to help her, I wouldn't have been able to make an appointment with her at all. ”
"She and I don't have much time to ourselves, and we haven't spoken a word. I think she understands what she means, but I don't know what she thinks. ”
"Sometimes I wonder if she didn't mean that, after all, my brother and I are mediocre. ”
"Eh~ brother, you think too much!" Scar patted him on the shoulder and said, "If she doesn't mean that, even if she is a child, she can't call her! Since she is willing to come out, it means that she is still a little willing." ”
"Really?" Shi Zhongxiong swept away his depression and looked at Scar expectantly.
"Brother Shi, a big man, has begun to care about his appearance, and any word can make him happy, it seems that he has really fallen into it. When Scar saw him like this, he naturally wanted to encourage him.
"Really! I don't believe you asked the big boy!"
"Ask him, what does he know as a little kid?" Shi Zhongxiong sighed, "I also hope that what you said is true, but I am afraid that I will end up with the sentence 'You are a good person' like I did back then." ”
"You're wrong," Scar said with a disapproving smile, "Sometimes when adults hesitate, the child's first answer is often the best answer." ”
"How is that possible?" Shi Zhongxiong chuckled, obviously not believing.
"You may not believe it, but I didn't say this, but Wenzong of the Six Sects said it!" Scar didn't mean to joke at all, he said seriously, "Because the child doesn't have so many distractions, he can often see the essence of things at a glance." ”
"What's more, it's Daocheng, although this kid is stupid and straight, but his sense has always been sharp!"
"If you don't believe it, ask him," Scar looked at Dao Chengdao, "Big boy, you say, does your Sister Xiangxiang mean anything to your Uncle Shi?"
Dao Cheng had been listening to the conversation between the two, and when he saw Shi Zhongxiong looking at him expectantly, he nodded emphatically, "Yes!"
"No, it's really fake?" Shi Zhongxiong couldn't help but laugh, "Where did you see that?"
"Looks!" "The way Dao Cheng said seriously, "Sister Xiangxiang looks at you the same way my Aunt Hua looks at her father." ”
"Of course, Aunt Hua is more direct, and Sister Xiangxiang is more subtle. ”
"Really, you're making your uncle happy, aren't you?" Shi Zhongxiong didn't believe it, but his face was full of smiles.
"Uncle, if you don't believe me, I'll help you ask!" Dao Cheng said directly, "Every time I see the two of you blushing, I'm anxious! I'll ask Sister Xiangxiang if she wants to be your mother-in-law!"
"Don't, don't, don't!" Shi Zhongxiong hurriedly held down the kid who was about to move, and cold sweat almost broke out.
"I'll do it myself......"
"Okay, you go!" Dao Cheng hit the snake and pointed to the barbecue on the shelf, "It's just right, it's almost roasted, you go and send a piece to Sister Xiangxiang, and ask her by the way." ”
"Huh?"
Shi Zhongxiong remained motionless, looked at Dao Cheng, and blinked......
"If you don't go, I'll go!" Dao Cheng was about to get up again.
"Don't, I'll go!" Shi Zhongxiong reluctantly got up, muttering, "Have you two discussed it, how do I feel the Tao?"
The corners of Scar's father and son's mouths curled up at the same time, and their eyes met and quickly staggered.
Looking at Shi Zhongxiong's turbulent back, Scar smiled: "Do you say it can be done?"
"Yes," Dao Cheng nodded and smiled, "I asked Sister Xiangxiang, and she said that Uncle Shi was the first man to be so good to her, and she was very moved." ”
"So Lao Shi's chances are still very high!"
"It's nature. Dao Cheng said in a firm tone, and then, he remembered something again, frowned, and said, "There is something, I don't know if I should tell my uncle or not." ”
"What's the matter?" Scar asked casually.
"I always think that bad beard doesn't look right at Sister Xiangxiang!"
"Oh?" Scar's eyes narrowed, and he touched his chin.
......
Moments later, Shi Zhongxiong returned with an excited face.
"What's going on?" Scar asked quickly.
"Hey, hey. Shi Zhongxiong smiled and said nothing.
"Uncle, did you ask!?" Dao Cheng also said anxiously.
"No, how can this matter be so urgent. Shi Zhongxiong cut off a piece of meat and ate it in a big gulp.
"Didn't ask...... Why are you so happy?" Daocheng was a little curious.
"She's talking to me!" Shi Zhongxiong smirked.
"Cut!" the father and son gave him a disgusted look.
"No!" Shi Zhongxiong quickly explained, "What she said is not ordinary!"
"Huh!"
She said thank you to me, and then ...... Then she said that I should be careful, don't rush to the front in future fights, act with everyone, and pay attention to protecting myself. ”
"Yo!" the father and son looked at each other in surprise.
Scar smiled: "There is a play!"
Dao Cheng also stroked his palm and smiled, "Sister Xiangxiang, this is concerned about uncle!"
"That's not it!" Ishinaka smirked, biting the flesh in his hand.
"In that case...... Scar's face grimaced, and he told him what Daocheng had discovered.
Shi Zhongxiong glared angrily, dropped the meat and bones in his hand, and picked up the long knife on the side to get up.
"I'm going to kill him!"
"What are you doing!?" Scar said coldly, holding him down on the shoulder, "Don't make a fool of yourself!
"Demon Hunter!
"You killed the employer, don't say that the alliance won't let you go!"
"The fellows won't agree either!"
Dao Cheng also hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle, don't get excited, I just say, what if it's not what I think?"
"I don't care, no one can hurt Xiangxiang anyway!" Shi Zhongxiong said with red eyes.
"Who hurt her!" Scar sat down, put his arms around Shi Zhongxiong's neck and said, "You're guarding by the side, who can hurt her!"
"Besides, didn't you say okay, when his mother-in-law is born, he will give you Xiangxiang!"
"If you're worried, in this way, we won't believe what he said, and when the mission is over, we'll grab your incense, okay?"
Shi Zhongxiong gradually calmed down, his breathing calmed down, he let go of the knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
"I'll do my best to help him keep his belongings, but he must give me Xiangxiang after the mission!"
"Otherwise, how much effort others make, how much effort I make......"
......
In the dead of night, only the beeping of matches.
Scar's father and son sat opposite each other, practicing the family breathing method. Now that Yuan Li has turned into liquid, Dao Cheng has also reached the realm of mystery and mystery that Scar boasted before. Indeed, as he said, when cultivating to this point, basic cultivation such as the three asanas is no longer meaningful, and Yuan Li is the foundation.
Originally, these basic cultivation was to enhance the physique and prepare for refining the vitality in the future. It's just that Scar didn't expect that Dao Cheng would progress so rapidly that he would complete the five-year cultivation plan of ordinary people like drinking water.
Now, Dao Cheng is mainly focused on honing his combat skills, and when he has time, he will leave the business path and go to the mountains and forests on both sides to find some third-order or even fourth-order demonic beasts to practice his hands, and by the way, he can also refine some blood crystals.
In only ten days, Dao Cheng had collected all the blood crystals he needed for his third-order blood crystal bath, and even prepared some fourth-order blood crystals for Scar.
Hone your combat skills during the day and cultivate your vitality at night, day after day, without stopping.
In Scar's words, cultivation is a kind of life, and what is needed is a habit, not a momentary passion.
Shi Zhongxiong rested his hands and looked at the sky casually. If Scar is knowledgeable, he will definitely smile and send him a famous quote of Wenzong - he can't ask for it, he can't ask for it, he thinks about it, he is leisurely, and he tosses and turns.
Suddenly, his face was cold, and Shi Zhongxiong was startled.
"The rain is coming......"
......
It had rained all night, and it was good weather to wake up early.
The caravan also woke up and set off again.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range has always been hot and dry, and there is no trace of water on the ground before noon, as if the rainstorm of beans last night was in a dream.
Taixuan was high above, and the dazzling golden light of the sun sprinkled on the earth, scorching all things.
The trade route was sparsely populated as usual, except for the large caravans, and occasionally some lone wanderers on the horses of Warcraft roared by.
There was a sudden commotion ahead, Shi Zhongxiong slapped his horse away, and a moment later, under his call, Scar also rushed over, and Qian Jiu, who followed the sound, also followed Dao Cheng over.
"High-level Demonic Beasts?"
"Magician!"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Qian Jiu suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward.
"How is he!"
Qian Jiu couldn't help but shout.
Before, the caravan encountered a lone strong man riding a wind wolf, and Qian Jiu also intended to woo him, but this person was disdainful.
Unexpectedly, it has only been a long time, and even people and wolves are cold on the ground.
The chest was scorched black, and Shi Zhongxiong opened the placket with a knife, and it was a transparent hole.
"One blow pierced, no wonder the clothes are still there," Shi Zhongxiong frowned, "Could it be a fire type demonic beast sneak attack?"
"Don't forget where this is?" Scar reminded.
"Big brother, you say you're a magician, but how could a magician come to be a mountain bandit?" Shi Zhongxiong couldn't believe it, which of those magicians in his memory didn't have eyes on the top of his head, and they would do such a dishonorable thing?
"I'm afraid it's not your average robber!" Scar said in a deep voice.
Shi Zhongxiong nodded, "This person is at least a fourth-order demon refiner, and it may even be a fifth-order, and the Xuanjia can't be killed by someone in one blow, so you can imagine the strength of the sneak attacker." ”
"What can I do about this!" Qian Jiu panicked suddenly, and looked at the many demon hunters.
"Money shopkeeper, as I said before, we have the responsibility to escort you, but beyond our ability, we can't do anything. In the crowd, a third-order demon hunter said, and the others echoed one after another.
Just kidding, for this kind of payment, work hard? impossible!
Qian Jiu's heart was cold......
He sends the escort mission with the lowest rank, the simplest requirements, and the lowest pay. A task of this level can't recruit a real master at all. Shi Zhongxiong and the two are definitely a surprise!
He had thought about it when he sent out the mission, but he didn't expect that the worst imaginary scenario could really become a reality.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Shi Zhongxiong suddenly, "Brother Shi, protect me this time, I will give her to you immediately!"
Having said that, there was still a hint of luck in his heart, "What if it's a vendet......ta? If she doesn't rob her, then I'll quickly find an opportunity to ...... her."
If it was himself, Shi Zhongxiong immediately responded, but looking at the scar father and son next to him, he hesitated.
He hesitated, but Scar spoke.
"In a word, our brother took over this job!"
