Volume 1 Chapter 4 The Rat Demon (1)
As soon as Wang Zhenxing's words fell, Lan Jiu saw that Ah Man was tied into a huge hemp ball by a straw rope, which made a group of hairy children "charge" up. The clay man saw her smile vigorously, and Lan Jiu stroked his forehead helplessly, he had never seen such a cultivator.
With a flick of his hand, a water blade flew out, and the grass rope on Aman's body was broken into countless knots and fell one after another. After relieving his sleep, Aman ran to Lan Jiu's window: "Boss, I finally found you." ”
"Don't don't, you can be bundled by these bales, you must not call me boss, I can't afford to lose this person."
"Hahaha, the waste nine actually accepted the little brother, what should the big waste nine collect a little brother? Scrap ten, hahahaha. Wang Zhenxing seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed back and forth, and the bear children who followed him also coaxed together: "The little brother of the Waste Nine is called the Waste Ten, and the whole family is a big waste of firewood......
Lan Jiu was really helpless, and several water blades swished out in succession, Wang Zhenxing ran away with a group of children before being drenched, shouting that the whole family was wasted and wasted.
"I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry, they said they were going to bring me to you, and it didn't hurt to tie me up, so I didn't resist, in fact, the straw rope I could break with a move, really. I'm very happy to see them playing, I don't mean to embarrass you, I'm afraid ......" Ah Man seemed to talk a lot in a hurry, and he kept babbling and explaining.
"I understand, I don't need to explain. It's all here, come in first, wash your dirty face. Lan Jiu continued to stroke his forehead, this Han Han wouldn't really be entangled with himself.
Lan Jiu pinched her nose and cooked her mother-in-law's salted old bacon, and finally beckoned Aman to have breakfast. At this time, look closely at the cleaned Hanhan, the eyebrows are rough, there is a scar on the face extending from the earlobe to the corner of the mouth, when he is not smiling, he is a little fierce, and when he smiles, his original form is immediately revealed, and he is really a Han, a little silly.
Han Han didn't have a name, and I didn't know who said he was like a brute bull, so he named him Aman. Abandoned by his parents since he was a child, the amount of food is so amazing that no one wants it anywhere. He is also a hard worker, born so good at eating, and has been running around for meal after meal since he was a child.
Look at this, I don't know how much I have been bullied, but not only is he not cynical, but he is kind and optimistic, and sure enough, it is the same as the magic he comprehended, wonderful!
In order to stay by Lan Jiu's side, Ah Man racked his brains, knowing that Lan Jiu was going to find her mother-in-law, and gave her advice with full brainpower.
"We can go and issue a reward order, as long as the reward order is issued, cultivators in the whole continent can see it, then someone must be able to provide clues about the mother-in-law." The head of what Aman said was the Tao
Lan Jiu couldn't help but shake his head: "The lowest level of the bounty order is also ten taels of silver, and I don't even have a copper plate now." ”
Ah Man said a little proudly: "I see that your water blade technique is very proficient, we can take the task first, and then go to the task after earning the silver." ”
"Don't praise me, I'm a first-order Daoist, and I still know how many catties and taels I weigh. I don't want to die. Speaking of this, Lan Jiu was even more discouraged, since her mother-in-law had strictly forbidden her to cultivate, at this level of Daoist, she had only stolen Wang Da Niu's cultivation in the back mountain. For this, he was beaten up by his mother-in-law.
The bounty order is not something that any shrimp or crab can receive, this is not an order, this is a life.
Ah Man grinned, patted his chest confidently and said, "With me here, don't worry." Let's pick some simple tasks and make sure it's okay. I've done a lot of bounties with people before, and many of them are also gossipers, but it's okay to have me here. As long as I use the mud armor technique, I just hold on to the other person. You just have to fight, rest and eat something when you are tired, and then continue to fight, and drag that monster to death sooner or later. Alas, it's a pity that they all disliked my amount of food, and in the end they didn't take me to play. ”
It turned out that Ah Man had received a lot of bounties with other cultivators before, and he really didn't have any attacks, but his Spirit Master-level Mud Armor Technique was unavoidable among low-level cultivators. With such a meat shield to accompany you, at least safety is a guarantee to do the task. It's a pity that the amount of food he eats is too huge, and the low-level cultivators who can mix with him are also poor, and the money he earns from a task is not enough for him to have a full meal, let alone three meals a day. After a long time, no one wants to take him with him anymore. It's a pity that he can only defend and not attack, and he can't receive the bounty order at all alone. This is to the point of making miscellaneous meals for mortals.
Ah Man said with some grievances and regrets, as if he missed the days when he did tasks with other cultivators.
After thinking about it, the only way to do it is to follow his method.
Lan Jiu cleaned up carefully, and put all the things she thought were important into the Qiankun bag, the glass bracelet that her mother-in-law left for herself, she always didn't wear it when she was troublesome. Now that her mother-in-law is gone, she feels that she has her mother-in-law's concern on it, and wearing it on her wrist is like her mother-in-law by her side. With a slight shake of his wrist, the glass bracelet itself made a jingling sound of gold and stone, as if the thin bracelet was hollow, and something smaller inside was gently striking and making a pleasant sound.
This time, it's really going to leave. Many years later, Lan Jiu recalled this day, and she couldn't help but regret that if she had stayed here, maybe there would not have been that catastrophe that subverted the Canglong Continent, and her mother-in-law would not have died.
In this way, Ah Man became the little brother of the Waste Nine, the Waste Ten!
Out of the gate of the bounty order, Lan Jiu couldn't help but ask Ah Man about Luo Xun, although Ah Man said that he didn't have much knowledge, but he wandered around since he was a child, and he always heard a lot, so he told Lan Jiu what he knew. It is nothing more than Luo Xun's talent, but he is very humble and polite, and he is very prestigious in the entire continent.
"How was that man's flying stone technique just now?" Lan Jiu asked as he recalled the scene just now.
"Look at that force, if it hits you... I'm afraid I'm going to burn paper for you. "Aman felt very dangerous at the time.
"And what if it hits you?" Lan Jiu was a little grateful in his heart, after all, Ah Man also looked like he was going to rush over to save himself just now, but unfortunately he was preempted by Luo Xun's move.
"I can't die anyway." Ah Man laughed innocently again.
Lan Jiu looked at him and lightly bumped his arm: "Thank you"
For the first time in this world, there is someone other than my mother-in-law to protect me. From childhood to adulthood, people in the village bullied her for not having a father and mother, although she never suffered a loss with her mother-in-law's support, but she didn't have a friend. Although they had only known each other for a day, he was willing to do this to himself, Lan Jiu suddenly felt a little soft, warm, and a little happy in his heart, like a little bird, beating in his heart.
"Did you see that? That Luo Xun didn't make a move at all, and those stones turned into powder in an instant. Lan Jiu's mind turned, and he thought of a move that might hurt his life, as if it was nothing to Luo Xun.
When Ah Man heard her say this, he couldn't help but admire: "Yes, yes, it's amazing." If only I had a tenth of him, no, a thousandth. ”
Lan Jiu jumped up and patted him on the head: "Why is it so unproductive, let me tell you, sooner or later, one day, I will cultivate into a Xuan Immortal, whoever dares to bully us again, snap, I will turn him into powder." Saying that, Lan Jiu made a chic blowing action, "Poof~ A mouthful of fairy gas will blow him away." ”
Lan Jiu was obviously bragging, but Ah Man nodded seriously in convincing: "You will definitely be super rich by then, then I won't be afraid of starvation." ”
"You know how to eat!"
The two talked and laughed, time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for them to arrive in Beicun.
After some inquiry, I found Aunt Wang's house. When Aunt Wang saw Lan Jiu with a token hanging around her waist, a pair of tears flowed down: "If you don't come again, I'm afraid that the old man in my family will be gone." ”
It turned out that this old man Wang was an honest farmer, who knew that one day he went out to work, and when he came back, the whole person was wrong. First of all, I got up as soon as it was dark to eat, and I just ate to eat, which was very scary. Holding the food with both hands, he gnawed on his front teeth in small bites, twitched his nose a few times while eating, and looked around vigilantly. Live like a big mouse.
Later, the old man Wang not only ate the food at home, but also gnawed on the objects at home, such as cabinets, door panels, and chair legs, all of which were spared. A mouthful of teeth is not very strong, and now I gnawed several times, and my mouth was full of blood, but I couldn't stop.
Aunt Wang really couldn't do anything, so she invited a few strong guys in the village to tie up the old man Wang strongly, and he stopped. Who knew that after a few days, the old man Wang began to scold and scold constantly, and scolded the eight generations of the ancestors of the old Wang family over and over again. The people in the village pooled some money and gave it to Aunt Wang, asking her to hurry up and send a reward order, saying that this looked like a demon, and if she didn't invite someone to drive it away, Old Man Wang was afraid that he would be entangled to death.
Lan Jiu looked at Old Man Wang's face like ashes at this time, as if he had already had air in and out of breath. But it was the first time she received the token, and she didn't know what to do at all, so she looked at Aman in a daze.
Ah Man stood aside like an ironclad guard, but in fact, he was also half a bucket of water, in the past, others took him to do tasks, and he only played a role when he did it. I don't know what to do.
Suddenly thinking of Luo Xun's hint to them, Lan Jiu asked, "Does Aunt Wang have sesame oil at home?" ”
Aunt Wang said a little embarrassed: "Yes, yes, but I have been reluctant to eat it, so I let it go." After speaking, he took out a black and greasy bottle from the cabinet, poured it for a long time, and poured out a small half bowl of sesame oil. It doesn't smell very good.
