Chapter 248: Spring Rain Street
In the kitchen of the Hyakmu Ghost, Smoke is sitting opposite the Hyakmu Ghost, and between the two of them is the dish that the Hyakmu Ghost has just fried, and a bottle of red wine.
Hyakmu Oni has been in hell for a long time, and although she is known as a woman who knows all the secrets, Smoke knows that Hyakmu Oni actually has a lot of things that she doesn't know.
Hyakmu can collect everything he wants to know, and he believes this.
But Chen Beibei is just a person who looks so ordinary.
Hyakmu may not have noticed him yet.
"Smoke, don't be in a hurry, let's eat something first. Anyway, we have a lot of time, so we can think about it while eating. ”
Hyakmu looked at Smoke and said to her.
"Hyakmu Ghost Sister ,......"
Smoked lowered his head, his gaze falling on the dish fried by the Hyakmu Oni, green peppers and an oval-shaped flak, as if it were some part of the animal's body.
Although smoked at this time, it is in human form.
But because he has been hiding in the owl's body for so long, Smoke has gradually begun to get used to some of the owl's habits.
Being active at night, sleeping during the day, and eating some raw meat are all learned from the owl.
Smoked wasn't interested in green peppers, so he ate another kind of sliced thing, forehead...... It tastes good......
"Sister Hundred Eyes Ghost, I want to exchange the information of an onmyoji for the position of the wine swallowing boy, is it okay?"
Smoke ate a few more slices of that kind of thing, and slowly said to the Hyakmu Ghost.
"Onmyoji?"
The Hyakmu Ghost seemed to have a hint of interest, and there was a hint of curiosity in his voice.
"Hmm."
Smoke nodded, looked at Hyakmu Oni, and replied to her.
"Yes!"
The Hyakmu Ghost took a sip of red wine, stood up from the table, and then opened his right hand, and a pair of eyes slowly floated over, levitating on the white and tender palm of the Hyakmu Ghost.
Xun said Chen Beibei's information.
"His name is Chen Beibei, and he is an onmyoji I met by accident, but he has very little knowledge of yin and yang for the time being, and can only use spiritual eyes and some talismans that have been made. Now there are Shikami, mainly Snow Maiden, Gu Won Bird, Kamato, Dog God, Sea Fang Master, Jumping Brother, Yingcao, and some other Shikami with more average strength......"
The eyes in Hyakme's hand blinked, and then some images appeared in Hyakme's mind.
"The sea, dark, thick clouds covered the sky, the wind howled, the waves swelled, and a ship moved forward in such a sea.
The boat was quickly overturned by the waves, and the people in the boat fell into the sea, struggling to struggle.
They shouted, 'Help me...... Help me......'
At this time, on the sea, there was a monk in Tsing Yi standing quietly with a cane, looking at all this expressionlessly.
It's the owner of the sea! ”
These eyes were obtained by the Hyakmu Ghost from the body of a dead Onmyoji, so the scene he saw was also what this Onmyoji had seen with his own eyes before his death.
The Hundred Eyes Ghost wanted to look through the eyes of this onmyoji to look through the people and things he had experienced in his life in order to find Chen Beibei.
After all, Smoke just said a name.
The name doesn't mean much to the Hyakmu Ghost, what the Hyakmu Ghost wants is Chen Beibei's appearance, so that it will be much easier to find information about Chen Beibei through other people's eyes in the future.
The first scene is the scene where the owner of these eyes subdues the owner of the sea house, and there is nothing out of the Hyakmu Ghost that Hyakmu wants to see, so Hyakmu Ghost has to continue to look at other things that the owner of this pair of eyes encountered before his death.
Countless scenes flashed by quickly.
In the end, the hundred-eyed ghost stopped at the scene where the monk and Chen Beibei met for the first time, and the monk said: Such a donor, I'm afraid you will have a bloody disaster.
As soon as the monk finished speaking, Chen Beibei stepped on a nail, which pierced very deeply, and blood oozed out.
The two soon crossed paths again, and the monk also gave Chen Beibei a talisman and asked Chen Beibei to stick it on the door of his house.
Fu Zheng did not fulfill the monk's wish, and was torn off by Chen Beibei halfway.
The scene cuts to Chen Beibei's room, where the monk uses yin-yang to immobilize the three-tailed fox and then takes the kappa away.
"Original...... It's this person! ”
The Hyakmu Ghost retracted the eyes suspended in the palm of his hand, and then said slowly.
Because, there were kappa and three-tailed foxes in Chen Beibei's room, so, at this time, the Hyakmu Ghost had already found what he wanted to find.
"Sister Hyakmu Ghost, it's time to tell me the location of the drunken boy, right?"
Smoke looked at the Hyakmu Ghost and said to her.
"You can find him in Scarborough Town, where the Drunken Boy is now."
Hyakmu replied.
"Thank you, Sister Hyakmu Ghost, that ...... I'll go first! ”
After hearing Hyakome's answer, Smoke immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hmm."
The Hyakmu Ghost saw that Smoke was in a hurry, so he didn't go to keep her.
After the smoke was gone, the hundred-eyed ghost put the eyes of the monk of the Sparrow Temple in his hand on a cutting board, and then picked up a kitchen knife......
……
The small town of Scarborough.
The girl in a blue kimono with a river mussel in her hand has been running for nearly an hour.
Finally, I came to the sea area where I came ashore before.
"Mussel Spirit, we ...... Finally...... Safe ......"
Jiaotu looked at the river mussel in his hand, bent over, supported his knees with his hands, and gasped for breath.
"Jiaotu, aren't you looking for the cause of that woman's death?"
Mussel Jing asked.
"When...... Of course, we have to look for it, but let's go back to the sea first, and after your body recovers, let's look for the cause of the woman's death. The human world is indeed a little different from our sea. ”
Pepper replied.
"Alright then, let's go back."
After the mussel essence finished speaking, Jiaotu put the mussel essence in the sea, and the river mussel slowly sank to the bottom of the sea in the sea.
Jiaotu jumped into the sea as well.
The little blue fish swam briskly in the sea, very fast, and the waves hit and made the blue fish disappear from view.
……
in dilapidated houses.
Xia Mu and the old fisherman were sitting at a small table, eating dinner, on which were placed three plates of home-cooked food and a bottle of self-brewed grain wine.
The grain wine is dyed red with sorghum leaves and served in bottles of mineral water.
"Xia Mu, do you want to drink a little together?"
The old fisherman poured himself a glass of wine, red wine, exuding a fragrance of grain, a little intoxicating.
"Hmm."
Xia Mu nodded.
In fact, Xia Mu doesn't like to drink grain wine, because the taste is very spicy, and it is difficult to eat, almost when he drinks grain wine, he swallows it directly.
But because the old fisherman asked.
Xia Mu still chose to drink a little with the old fisherman, mainly because he wanted to accompany him, not really wanted to drink.
The old fisherman also poured a little for Xia Mu, only a little, because the old fisherman also knew that Xia Mu didn't like to drink.
The two of them drank slowly.
During the period, almost all of the things we talked about were Xia Mu's work outside, and they were all asked by the old fisherman, and Xia Mu answered.
"The market in Scarborough is already about to start trading, right?"
The old fisherman asked.
Xia Mu worked in Scarborough Town, and it had something to do with the forty-five days of trading in Scarborough Town.
In these forty-five days, if you want to find something to do.
The small town of Scarborough is very short of people.
Whether it's helping others sell things, or helping others look after stalls, or doing hard work, that is, moving goods.
"It will take two days to start trading, but I am working for the merchants of Fusang Country, and I have been working since half a month ago."
Xia Mu replied.
"What do you do? Tired? ”
The old fisherman asked, as he drank his wine.
Xia Mu lowered his head and ate the shrimp noodles that the old fisherman cooked for himself, and when he heard the old fisherman ask, Xia Mu looked up at the old fisherman: "Grandpa Liu, I am just responsible for registering the goods shipped from Fusang and used for trading, and I am not tired at all." ”
"Isn't it moving things? Remuneration...... It's a lot of money......"
The wine glass in the old fisherman's hand stopped in mid-air, and said with some concern.
The average person will be happy to find an easy and well-paid job.
But the old fisherman didn't think so.
After all, he had lived a life of self-sufficiency, poverty but not hunger all his life.
A little more money, a little less, in fact, in this case, there is not much difference.
"Well, the merchants of Fuso rarely come to Scarborough Town, after all, the distance is relatively far, and this seems to be the first time to come. However, it's really generous. ”
Xia Mu replied while eating noodles.
What Xia Mu did was indeed just to register the goods shipped from Fusang. Forehead...... Maybe it's a commodity, Xia Mu once doubted this, because the employer didn't allow the people he hired to work to look at those goods.
All the stuff was already packed in wooden crates when it was on board. As if for fear of being seen the contents of the boxes, the outside of each box was covered with a thick black cloth.
There are large and small boxes, there is no uniform specification, and it seems that the contents are also of different sizes.
"Xia Mu, working outside, you must pay more attention."
The old fisherman said suddenly.
"Well, Grandpa Liu, don't worry. I've grown up and I understand a lot of things, and I'll be careful. ”
Xia Mu replied.
In the small town of Scarborough, whenever the market is open, merchants from all over the world gather here.
These merchants come here without any requirements.
As long as you want to come, you can come in, and if you want to leave, you can leave......
In order to prevent their belongings from being robbed, these merchants usually bring bodyguards and guns and other things.
When dealing with these people, be careful, you should also be.
The Scarborough Market is open for forty-five days, and after forty-five days, Scarborough is a desolate town.
Every year.
However, this year seems to be a little different, or rather, it was different before, but Xia Mu didn't know.
One night, Xia Mu was not sure whether the number and size of the goods he had registered were accurate, so at night, he returned to the underground warehouse where the goods were stored again.
It was in this warehouse that Xia Mu heard the conversation of the merchants of Fusang.
"These things have been here for forty-five days, are they really okay?"
A merchant asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. No one knows that we have those things in our goods, and as soon as forty-five days are over, the auction will start immediately, and we will sell those things and we will have no worries for the rest of our lives. ”
Another merchant replied.
There were three of Fuso's merchants, and one of them was taller and had thick arms, which made him look powerful.
The other two are two men and women who seem to be savvy, presumably in a cooperative relationship.
It was the female businesswoman who asked, and the one who answered was the shorter male businessman, the one with great strength, who seemed to take on a role in protecting them, and never interjected when the two of them were talking.
Xia Mu just heard these two words, and then left in a hurry.
After all, these are things that shouldn't be heard. Knowing too much can put yourself in a dangerous situation.
Xia Mucai didn't want to get involved in those messy things.
All he wants is to make a little money in case he needs it, and then continue to go back to live with Grandpa Liu.
"Xia Mu, you still have to take care of yourself outside."
The old fisherman said slowly.
"yes, I know."
Xia Mu replied.
Xia Mu said that he had grown up, but in the old fisherman's heart, Xia Mu was still a child.
After all, the current Xia Mu has just stepped into the adult world, and there are many things that he doesn't understand at all. The adult world is not so simple, there will be many traps and temptations here, and once you fall into it, you will pay the corresponding price.
The old fisherman did not eat for dinner, but drank two glasses of wine and ate some dishes.
This is a normal dinner for an old fisherman.
Wine is made from grain, and drinking wine can also replenish physical strength and the energy needed by the body, and if you eat some dishes, it will be about the same.
"Xia Mu, ...... tomorrow You're going to get back to work, right? ”
The old fisherman asked.
"Hmm."
Natsume replied.
"Then you should go and rest early."
The old fisherman cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and said to Xia Mu.
"It's still early, I want to sit outside later, Grandpa Liu, I'll wash these bowls."
Xia Mu looked at the old fisherman and said to him.
In fact, Xia Mu usually rarely washes dishes, after all, he has always lived with the old fisherman, and every day after eating, the old fisherman will naturally wash the dishes and chopsticks.
It's all a habit.
This habit is not only the old fisherman's, but also Xia Mu's, and it has always been like this, so I don't feel that there is anything wrong.
But because of this half a month, when she was working outside, Xia Mu washed the dishes by herself. Xia Mu knew that this was actually a little unfair to the old fisherman.
Naturally.
Habit.
It can make people overlook something, and in some cases, it's not good.
The old fisherman looked at Xia Mu with some doubts, now Xia Mu is half a head taller than himself, the old fisherman handed over the bowl in his hand, and there was a feeling in his heart that Xia Mu might have really grown up.
The new SSR doesn't know the fire, I don't know if everyone likes ducks or not? Anyway, I like it so much, it's really beautiful...... But after awakening, it seems that he has grown crippled...... hhhhhh~ (Ignorant Fire: Welcome to the Pavilion of Onmyoji~)
