Chapter 52: The Winter Ghost
After agreeing on the price, Xia Mu took out the token very happily, although he expected it, but looking at a few golden tokens and a large number of silver tokens, Mo Piaopiao couldn't help but gasp, and felt more and more that Xia Mu was unfathomable, and paid more attention to the transaction, this is not just a transaction, but also a good friend of a future powerhouse...... Perhaps in the future, these two words can also be removed.
"Grain will be delivered to the town of Estuary before the first snowfall. I will send the flying horse at home to send it. ”
"That's hard work."
……
Mo Piaopiao cherished the innate pill he exchanged for in a small bottle, and placed the bottle close to his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Wei, Brother Xia, the Innate Pill is very important, I'll go back, let's say goodbye."
Where did the characteristics of the ruins come from, and the two watched Mo Piaopiao's body being swallowed by a hollow, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. It's just that Wei Wei seems to have a sense of loss in his eyes.
Xia Mu patted him, "Okay, let's go back too, if you miss your Piaopiao sister, let's leave quickly, and we can see you soon." ”
Wei Wei's face suddenly turned red, and he explained hesitantly: "Brother Xia, don't talk nonsense, Sister Piaopiao and I, we don't have a ......"
Clumsy lies, don't smile with honey on your face when you say such things, I'm almost going to burn you both.
Out of sight and out of mind, Natsuki took out the token that sent him in and prepared to go out. It's just that suddenly there is a business behind him.
"Young man, please stay!"
Natsuki's hand trembled, this ominous line......
"Old monk, what else do you have to do?" Natsuki asked with a smile.
……
The two of them came out of the ruins and returned to the swamp of the bone forest.
It was a mess, as if it had been gouged by some ferocious beast.
"There is still the breath left by the death of the 'Hanging Corpse Tree' here, what demon beast dares to approach? Brother Xia, stay vigilant. ”
Natsuki nodded, just ...... I seem to have forgotten something important, what is it?
A pair of purple eyes lit up in the darkness, and then quickly approached.
Wei Wei immediately drew the long sword in his hand.
Looking at the rapidly approaching object, Natsuki suddenly remembered what he had forgotten. Smiled and pressed Wei Wei's sword back, "Brother Wei, don't be nervous, this is that affectionate white mink...... Yes! ”
The sable jumped up as it got closer, threw herself into Natsuki's arms, and bit him on the shoulder.
Xia Mu's face was almost green.
It was the poison of love, just one drop poisoned the body of a god, and if it was replaced by his own small body, he was afraid that he would die hundreds of times.
The sable is just venting his dissatisfaction, in fact, after taking the initiative to admit the owner, it is impossible for the sable to hurt Xia Mu, but the system has not opened the pet interface for the time being, so Xia Mu can't grasp the situation of the white sable.
Natsuki comforted the sable for a while, and promised that he would never abandon it and run away alone.
Purr ......
I thought it was the voice of the white mink being angry, but Natsuki suddenly realized that the sound came from the white mink's stomach.
"Are you hungry?"
Natsuki couldn't help the smile on his face, "Don't tell me you haven't eaten for the past two days, don't you know how to hunt?" ”
Purr ......
This time it was an angry voice.
Seeing the sable squinting his eyes, Natsuki quickly stopped laughing and took out a lollipop.
"Let's use this for a cushion first."
The sable first touched the lollipop, then licked it happily. The unhappiness just now was suddenly thrown out of the clouds.
Sure enough, there's nothing that a lollipop can't do.
The two were about to clean up the camp, when Wei Wei suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Brother Xia, look! ”
A snowflake falls on Natsuki's shoulder.
It's snowing.
……
Snowflakes were falling, and soon, the entire estuary town was covered with a thick quilt.
Suddenly, there was a hurried whistle in the town.
"Everyone is closed, the winter ghost is coming!"
The heavy snow was twenty days ahead of schedule, and the town was caught off guard. Shortly after the hunting party left the village, the patrol was exhausted by the sudden arrival of winter ghosts.
Xia Xiaocao curled up in her father's arms, "Dad, I'm afraid." ”
With a soft murmur from the grass, the knock on the door became more and more urgent.
Winter ghosts feed on fearful souls, and the more fearful souls they are, the more delicious they are. So they sometimes even deliberately play with their prey, devouring when their fear reaches its extreme.
At this moment, even through the window, the winter ghost could already smell the wonderful smell of the 'food' in the house, and he couldn't wait.
Outside the door, Lao Huang was silent, staring at the monster that was banging on the door.
The monster was covered in white hair, and it was no more than half a man tall when it stood up, but the row of eighteen eyes on its head was intimidating. He wears a black and white mask on his face and has ape-like arms.
Lao Huang knelt on all fours, and quietly moved behind the monster along the blind corner of the eighteen eyes. Jump up.
There was a scream outside the door, accompanied by the sound of a dog barking.
The knocking on the door stopped abruptly.
"Dad, did Ah Huang drive the monster away?"
Xia Shi nodded, "Yes, you go to bed quickly, you can see your brother when you wake up." ”。
"Hmm!" Hearing her brother, Xia Xiaocao's panicked eyes suddenly quieted down, she closed her eyes, while Xia Shi held her weak arm and blocked Xia Xiaocao's ears.
Soon, there was another knock on the door......
