Chapter 521: Beautiful Red Butterfly
"Aman, have the pensions of the previous victims been paid?"
"Yes, everyone sent five hundred taels, but on the bright side, I only sent two hundred taels, and the remaining three hundred taels were secretly handed over to their families, and I also told them not to make a noise, lest anyone see the wealth and attack their ideas."
"Well, well done." Xue Wu praised, Ah Man has also experienced it now, and she is no longer the Han girl who only knew how to eat before.
"Where's the grocery store?"
"Steward Lu hired two literate and arithmetic people to watch it and keep accounts every day, do you want to see it? I'm going to get the ledger. ”
"Don't worry, I'll go outside and have a look."
Xue Wu lifted the felt curtain and went out, and met several Lu stewards who heard the news.
"Miss Mo." Several people saw her and saluted together.
Xue Wu nodded with a smile, "I'm about to go around the town, so you can come together." ”
Several people hurriedly followed.
When passing by the igloo that had been trampled by millipedes before, Xue Wu took a closer look, and the igloo had been repaired, and there were basically no traces.
Igloos, large and small, are lined up in a regular manner, leaving a smooth and wide road in the middle, and coal slag is sprinkled on them to prevent slipping.
If you look at it from above, the whole town is a huge gossip, the houses are like that, the roads are accessible, Xue Wu installed the spirit stone at the node of the formation, and in an instant, the formation was formed, and an invisible but qualitative transparent cover shrouded the entire ice and snow town.
The people seemed to realize something, and looked up, but they saw nothing.
"Alright, let's go back." Xue Wu patted the snow slag on her hands.
Steward Lu asked, "Miss Mo, now that the town has been built, you are the biggest hero, why don't you give the town a name?" ”
Xue Wu sighed in her heart, it was really embarrassing for her to let her name be invalidated, but it was not easy to refuse this matter, so she said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it." ”
When Pei Lin came back in the evening, she immediately asked him for help.
Pei Lin couldn't help but feel funny, and scratched her nose, "Sister-in-law is so smart and capable, why did a small name stump you?" ”
Xue Wu lay in his arms and played coquettishly, "I don't care, you can help me think of one." ”
Pei Lin rubbed her cheek, "If I come up with it for you, is there a reward?" ”
Xue Wan held his face and chirped, "Is this reward enough?" ”
Before she could leave, he held the back of her head and turned the dragonfly-like kiss into a deep kiss of lingering compassion.
After a kiss, he was still reluctant to let go of her, and pecked her on the lips from time to time.
Xue Wu pinched him, "Did you come up with it?" ”
Pei Lin couldn't help laughing, "Just call 'Jade Dragon Town', how about it?" ”
"Jade Dragon Town? That's good, that's it. But why did you come up with the name 'Jade Dragon'? ”
"The Jade Dragon is another name for Snowflake, and Snowflake is a homonym for your name, which was built by you and should be named after you."
Woo woo, what kind of high-level love story is this! Xue Wu threw herself into his arms, "Pei Lian, why are you so good." ”
"Huh? What will be? As an ancient, Pei Lin couldn't get her stalk at all.
Xue Wu shook her head, looking at her with crooked eyebrows, and her eyes seemed to be flowing with honey.
Pei Lin was looked at by her like this, and wanted to kiss her again.
The name was decided, and the next day, a memorial arch engraved with the three big characters of "Yulong Town" was erected at the entrance to the east of the town.
The town is backed by mountains and rivers, the geographical location is very advantageous, and it is not far away from Shiquan City, so you can watch and help each other, and in the future, it can become a commercial market that connects all around, and it can also be an outpost to resist demon insects.
Xue Wu and his entourage lingered here for another two days, and the snow disaster had been completely resolved, so they left.
At this time, the New Year is approaching, and the Shiquan City for the rest of its life after the catastrophe has a very strong New Year's flavor.
Xue Wu was extremely homesick at this time, and it had been more than half a year since she left home, although she usually corresponded often, but she hadn't seen her for so long, and she didn't know what happened to her family.
*
Fengchi County.
Three Afflictions Academy, today happens to be the day of winter vacation.
The school gate was crowded with parents who came to pick up their children home.
Xue Yao held the bookbag for Xue Jun, came out and saw so many people, and hurriedly escorted his sister through the crowd carefully, and he was relieved when he got into his own carriage.
As soon as the carriage started, an exclamation came from outside, "Hey, butterfly! ”
The brother and sister lifted the curtain and looked out, and sure enough, a palm-sized red butterfly was dancing in the air, which was extremely beautiful, and everyone at the school gate stared in amazement.
"How can there be butterflies at this time?" Xue Yao was puzzled.
It's a cold winter, and it just snowed yesterday, and the snow on both sides of the road hasn't melted yet.
Xue Jun was thoughtful, suddenly realized something, and his face changed: "Brother, tell those people to disperse!" There's a good chance that the butterfly is a magic bug! ”
After her reminder, Xue Yao also thought of it, and shouted loudly outside: "That butterfly is a demon worm!" Come on! ”
In order to make the people aware of the dangers of demon insects as soon as possible and enhance their awareness of prevention, the imperial court specially issued a "Daqi Daily", which focused on the demon insects, from appearance to habits to weaknesses, etc., all written in detail on it.
Each state and county has a special sales point, which is sold at a loss, two cents a copy, in order to spread the news of the demon insect to all parts of the country in the shortest possible time.
In view of the fact that there were very few literate people in this era, the yamen in various places also cooperated with storytellers to spread the news by oral description.
After word of mouth, the matter of demon insects has basically become a household name.
At this moment, when they heard the word "magic worm", everyone panicked and ran out in a panic, and the school gate became a mess.
Seeing this, Xue Jun couldn't help but regret it, she shouldn't have let her brother shout out just now, she should have quietly told the security guards at the door and asked them to catch the butterfly that was suspected of being a demon insect.
At this moment, the butterfly suddenly flapped its wings, turned into a cloud of red smoke and disappeared in its place, and when it reappeared, it had already landed on the shoulder of a student.
When Xue Jun saw this scene, his heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he had an extremely bad premonition, "Wei Yuan, get out of the way-"
That Wei Yuan, who is a classmate in Xue Jun's class, is usually very naughty, and is a headache bear child, when he heard Xue Jun shouting at him, he not only didn't listen, but also made a grimace at her, and deliberately grabbed the big red butterfly that fell on his shoulder.
He had heard a lot about demon insects, and he knew that demon insects were terrifying, but weren't all demon insects very hideous, this one was so beautiful, how could it be a demon worm?
Even if it is, what? This butterfly is very weak at first glance, and he can pinch it to death with one hand.
