Chapter 10: Catch the snake and catch the seven inches
As long as you have this treasure eye, can't you make a windfall like the gambling stone in the novel?
I don't know if there is a so-called black market in this era, the kind that can pan for gold, if there is, go for a walk, maybe you can find some treasures!
However, these are still just fantasies, because Tang Xiaoqing, who has just arrived, does not understand the structure of this era, and even the monetary value of currency does not understand.
"But I have to find a way to make some money to improve the food at home."
Tang Xiaoqing glanced down at the multigrain porridge in the bowl, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
No matter how much he ate and waited for death in his previous life, Tang Xiaoqing never treated himself badly in terms of eating.
Thankfully, there's still meat from the hunt!
……
Night.
A figure swept out of the Tang family and went straight to the woods in the back mountain.
"The subordinates are late, and I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to punish him!"
Several men dressed in black waited in place, and when they saw the comer, they immediately knelt respectfully on the ground, trembling and waiting for the arrival.
"Get up."
The visitor stood in the moonlight, the large acne marks and birthmarks on his face looked very strange, but his voice was low and cold.
It turned out that this person was not anyone, it was Duanmu Qi of the pseudonym Qi Mu who Tang Xiaoqing rescued according to the system task.
And these black-clothed people are his secret guards, on the day of the accident, these people were all stumped by various things, which would lead to Duanmu Qi's accident without any support.
"Yes."
The subordinates were pardoned before they stood up, and when they saw Duanmu Qi, their faces changed greatly, "Your Royal Highness, your face ......"
Face?
Duanmu Qi thought of the large birthmark on his face, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.
In fact, after getting along with Tang Xiaoqing in the past two days, she basically knew that 99% of the birthmark on her face was her handiwork, and it was not the sequelae of some carrion poison.
But so what?
Anyway, he didn't care how it came about, as long as the birthmark existed, so he would have an excuse to stay.
Who she is, this is still undecided!
And such an interesting person, he is really reluctant to leave for the time being!
"My face is fine, it's just to hide people's eyes!"
Duanmu Qi casually perfunctory, and then advised: "Go back!" Remember not to tell anyone that I'm alive, and pay attention to the people behind me. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness!"
A few secret guards didn't dare to ask more, although in the eyes of many people, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was a spoiled gentleman.
I don't know how to do business, I just eat, drink and have fun.
But only they, the secret guards who were personally cultivated by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, knew how terrible His Highness the Prince of the World was in private!
His sharpness is all hidden under the usual hippie smile.
In a flash, the figures of several dark guards flickered, and they disappeared into the woods in the back mountain, as if they had never been there.
And Duanmu Qi also swept towards the Tang family quickly, thinking of Tang Xiaoqing and the kind Tang family, his heart couldn't help but be a little softer.
Duanmu Qi, who was loved by thousands of people on the surface, actually felt for the first time that the family could be so harmonious.
……
On the other side, after classifying the herbs brought back from the medicinal field on the mountain and placed in the system space, Tang Xiaoqing lay down to rest.
Two great pleasures in life – eating and sleeping!
Eat well.
Sleep to get enough sleep.
But tonight, for some reason, Tang Xiaoqing seemed to sleep very incomfortably, and kept dreaming: "Don't chase me!" You stinky snake get me away! ”
"Ouch!"
In the dream, a colorful snake with a snake body was chasing Tang Xiaoqing, and she accidentally fell on her heels.
With a spicy temperament, she immediately turned around, actually broke a branch, and chased the stinky snake in turn: "I'll let you chase the old lady!" I'll let you chase the old lady! ”
The colorful snake was chased by the spicy Tang Xiaoqing and fled everywhere, and hurriedly crawled towards the dense forest in the distance.
Tang Xiaoqing chased a few steps, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up with the colorful snake, he put his hands on his waist and looked up to the sky and laughed: "You stinky snake still dare to chase the old lady, next time you will have no return." ”
After being in a good mood, Tang Xiaoqing slept very sweetly this night.
The sky was white, and Tang Xiaoqing woke up.
At this time, Huang Ailian and Tang Wanqiang had already gotten up and gone to farm in the fields, and several brothers also went out to help the family.
Except for Tang Wuhan, who is not in good health, he has not woken up yet, there are only Tang Xiaoqing and Duanmu Qi.
"Hey! Let's go, let's go hunting and collecting medicine in the mountains. ”
Tang Xiaoqing beckoned to Duanmu Qi, took a medicine basket and handed it to him, "Our family doesn't raise idlers, and if you want to have food, you have to help with the work." ”
In fact, her idea is very simple, the family is really too poor, and coming back from hunting some prey can not only improve the food, but also sell it in the town for some money.
And she has to go to the medicine field in the mountains to find the stinky snake and settle the score! Let it scare itself last night for most of the night.
At this time, the colorful snake on the medicine field suddenly felt an itch in its nose and sneezed, was the female snake thinking about the handsome and dashing snake?
In this beautiful thought, coiled the root of a medicinal herb, fell into a deep sleep!
I was chased by that stinky woman last night and didn't sleep well, so I have to make up for it.
As everyone knows, the stinky woman in its mouth is on her way to settle accounts with it.
……
Duanmu Qi had seen Tang Xiaoqing's skills yesterday, so he didn't refuse, and followed her up the mountain with the medicine basket.
When he was halfway up the mountain, Tang Xiaoqing was inconvenient to take Duanmu Qi with him because he wanted to go to the medicine field, so he pointed in the other direction and said, "Let's divide our soldiers into two ways, you go hunting, and I will go collect medicine!" Remember to shoot some big game and go to town in the afternoon to sell it for some money. ”
Hearing this, Duanmu Qi's face covered with birthmarks instantly showed dissatisfaction: "You let me go hunting alone?" ”
"Got an opinion? Or won't? ”
After two days of getting along, Tang Xiaoqing also somewhat understood the character of the young man he rescued, and his tone was deliberately a little disdainful.
"How could this son not, there is nothing in this world that this son will not do." Duanmu Qi was really fooled, and raised his chin arrogantly, "You wait for me!" I'll go and shoot a wild boar for you. ”
"Good! But say it in advance, you can only offset the food expenses at most if you hit the wild boar, and you still have to pay for the medical expenses! ”
"You ......"
Duanmu Qi was depressed, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, even if they were angry in their hearts, they could only hold back.
When Duanmu Qi went hunting, Tang Xiaoqing walked along the path to the medicine field yesterday.
Soon, Tang Xiaoqing climbed to the top of the mountain, and when she passed the stone tablet at the entrance of the medicine field, she didn't know when the two lines of words were revealed, which made her ponder a little.
"I wonder how arrogant a person who can write such words must be?"
Tang Xiaoqing sighed lightly, "But it's not that the whereabouts are unknown, don't blame me!" This medicine field is also deserted, so I'll take care of it for you before you come back! ”
Taking care is the same as taking it! This logic was perfectly digested by Tang Xiaoqing!
Entering the medicine field, I looked around, and finally found the colorful snake coiled together under a pile of medicinal herbs.
She couldn't help but think of the fear of being chased by a snake last night, and she was angry at the side of the guts, pinched the snake's seven inches and said, "Okay, you stinky snake, you dared to scare me in my dream last night!" ”
The colorful snake was catching up on sleep, it felt that it was suddenly in the air, and when it opened its snake eyes, it was the woman who was haunted in her dreams yesterday!
"I'll ...... Why is this stinky woman coming to my dreams again? The colorful snake was full of confusion.
Tang Xiaoqing could understand its words, and suddenly became angry: "You are a stinky snake, open your snake eyes wide for the old lady to see clearly, it is my aunt and grandmother who came to settle accounts with you!" ”
Catching a snake and grabbing seven inches, the colorful snake that was pinched seven inches was a soft worm, and it didn't dare to struggle at all.
The colorful snake was angry and anxious, "It's not that I want to scare you, I don't know how to get into your dream, and besides, you ran after me with a stick last night." ”
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoqing was surprised in her heart, will this dream still be connected? What's going on?
Suddenly, she remembered that when she got the Command Beast Skill yesterday, the system seemed to remind her of something?
"System boss, is there any sequelae of my skill of commanding the beasts?"
Thinking about it, Tang Xiaoqing couldn't help but summon the system to ask clearly, of course, in the process, she was still pinching the seven inches of the colorful snake, so that it couldn't escape.
The voice of the system's machinery immediately sounded, "When you command the beasts, you will empathize with the beasts that are commanded, and the quality of your relationship with them will directly affect your dreams. ”
The implication is that she has a grudge against this little snake, so she dreams of being chased by a snake.
In other words, if it is a well-behaved little wild cat, maybe it is the scene of petting the cat in the dream.
After understanding the reason, Tang Xiaoqing glanced around the medicine field and suddenly had an idea.
"Little snake snake."
Tang Xiaoqing brought the snake close to him, stared at him, and smiled very kindly: "How about doing me a favor?" ”
The colorful snake shrank its pupils in fright, and subconsciously circled the snake's tail, "You, what do you want to do?" ”
"Well said."
Tang Xiaoqing stated his purpose, "I want you to help me guard this medicine field, and anyone except me must drive them away, but don't hurt the human race!" ”
The colorful snake suddenly became angry, it was raised by the master, how could it help the enemy who occupied the master's medicine field?
"No way!"
It was very firm, but then it felt a pain in the seven-inch position: "Don't toast and don't eat and drink!" I have a lot of strength, and if I'm not careful, I'll pinch your little snake gall bladder! ”
The colorful snake suddenly stiffened, and then heard Tang Xiaoqing say, "Or do you want to jump for a few days?" ”
Being pinched by seven inches, and remembering the fear of being dominated by the small waist, the colorful snake nodded the snake head very spinelessly: "Okay, okay!" It's me who promised you, you hurry up and let me go! ”
It reassured itself that it had always been its job to guard the medicine field anyway.
It is also in this way that the master will cultivate it.
"That's good." Tang Xiaoqing let go of it with satisfaction and touched its snake head, "As long as you are obedient, my aunt and grandmother will not lose your benefits!" ”
