Chapter 15: Spirit Stones
"Can't you jump yet?" Bai Ye is still holding me tightly.
"Don't jump."
Bai Ye let go of his hand and gasped, "Oh, I'm tired of your old man." He stroked his beard and said displeasurely, "Look, it's all messed up my beard!" ”
I stared at Bai Ye, it seems that the relationship between this old man and Xiao Fan is not just as simple as acquaintance......
"Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that our two masters are being targeted." Bai Ye pinched his waist, "Let's go first, this place is not suitable for a long time." ”
"Wait!" I stopped Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked back at me, "Say it on the way, don't stay in this barren mountain and wild place, let people see it and think I'm doing something unclear with you." ”
I walked to the car and looked deeper into the cliff, it was so dark that it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
"You don't have to worry, Falling Valley is different from you, he does things in a measured way, and he won't leave a way back for himself." Bai Ye patted me, "How are you kid, can you still drive?" ”
I nodded.
I didn't ask anything along the way, and Bai Ye didn't take the initiative to say anything, each with his own thoughts.
After driving for about two hours, I finally saw some vehicles and pedestrians, and my heart was a little more steady.
I parked my car in front of a small barbecue restaurant.
It's already the middle of the night, and there are still a lot of people drinking in the store.
"Come on, come and sit inside, what do you want to eat? Grilled skewers, grilled fish, crayfish, edamame, beer, brine duck. "The owner looked very kind.
"Ho, you rhyme with this menu!" Bai Ye said, "Fry two vegetarian dishes for me, and then give this kid ......"
"Peanuts." I said.
I found a place by the window and sat down and looked out the window.
"Would you like some beer?" The boss asked.
"If you don't drink while driving, let's have a pot of barley tea." Bai Ye also sat down.
After a while, the dishes were ready, and Bai Ye sandwiched a green vegetable to me, "Come and taste it, see if there is any delicious food made by your old man." "He took my cup, scalded it with hot tea, and poured half a cup of tea in front of me.
Picking vegetables, shabu cups, and pouring tea, these are things that Bai Ye has never done for me. I looked at him, when did this old man have gray temples?
Bai Ye took a sip of tea, rubbed his beard and said, "You resold wild animals when you were young, and I was in charge of hunting that link." ”
I was a little surprised, but this was the first time I had seen him take the initiative to talk about himself since I could remember. His eyes no longer wandered, and his expression became determined, as if it took a lot of determination to tell about his past.
I immediately became interested, and it was rare that this old man was in a state today.
Bai Ye said, "One day I went hunting in the woods, and suddenly saw an unknown giant snake not far from the forest, the snake body is green, like bamboo leaf green, but the general bamboo leaf green body length is 60-90 cm, the snake in front of me is at least ten meters long, and the tip of the abdomen and tail are black, I deduce that this is either the bamboo leaf green gene mutation, or what snake species has become sperm, I think the latter is more likely." ”
I asked, "You mean you met the snake spirit?" ”
Bai Ye nodded, "I immediately raised my shotgun, I was happy that I had gained a lot today, and after quietly approaching, I found that there was a four or five-year-old child standing in front of the giant snake, and the child was facing away from the snake at the time, and the stupid pestle was there, and it was you." Bai Ye pointed at me with chopsticks.
Four or five years old? Didn't I just be born and I was taken away by Lao Scar, and then I was raised by Bai Ye, when did I go to the woods when I was four or five years old?
I squinted at him, isn't this old man going to make up stories with me again?
After Bai Ye saw my expression, he guessed what I was thinking, and asked me to listen to him quietly first.
"Just as the serpent bit you, I yelled loudly, and you suddenly fell to the ground......"
"I was bitten?"
Bai Ye sighed, "Listen to me!" ”
I nodded and asked him to continue.
"I thought the snake would be frightened and run away, but it suddenly turned to me, and after seeing the shotgun in my hand, it hesitated for a moment before reluctantly leaving, crawling for about two or three meters, and then turned back and glared at me, and the snake's tail wrapped around a tree next to it, and with a force, the tree was uprooted by it, and then it still showed me with its mouth open, and finally left...... What the hell is this, you say, isn't it a semen? Thanks to the fact that I was fully armed at the time, otherwise if the snake spirit remembered his appearance, I would have been afraid that it would come to me for revenge later! ”
Bai Ye ate a few bites of food, motioned for me to move my chopsticks, I said in my heart, how can I be in the mood to eat now, so I took a perfunctory sip of tea.
Bai Ye continued, "I saw that the snake was gone and hurriedly ran over, and guess what? I noticed a man in his thirties lying next to you, with visible bite marks on his neck. I immediately checked his pulse, and luckily he was still alive, so I injected the man with a serum. When I looked back at you after the injection, I found that there was also a very shallow bite mark on your neck, I thought it was broken, but I didn't expect that the snake spirit still bit you in the end, but there was only one serum......"
I subconsciously touched my neck, I was not only chased by wolves, but also bitten by snakes...... I lamented that I was really ill-fated.
Bai Ye took a sip of tea, stroked his beard, and recalled-
In the evening, the man woke up first, panicked when he saw Bai Ye, and then saw me lying next to him, stunned for a while, probably remembering what happened during the day, and knew that Bai Ye saved us.
Later, Bai Ye asked him why he was taking a child in this wood, and after the man hesitated for a moment, he said:
"My name is He Xiu, and five years ago, I was ordered by the above, saying that I got the news that someone found that there were dire wolves in this forest that had not yet been extinct, and if they could be captured alive, they would get a large bounty. They also assigned me two people from the road to help me take charge of this operation to catch the dire wolf. So I, Old Scar, Yellow Fang, and my younger brother Xiaotian, who has been messing with me, found the traces of dire wolves on the second night of the four of us coming to this woods, but the number of dire wolves exceeded our expectations, and we didn't dare to attack rashly, so we have been quietly following and waiting for the opportunity to start. ”
"Hey, it's a peer." Bai Ye looked at the person named He Xiu.
"Hey...... It's all about begging for a living. He Xiu sighed, "We always kept a certain distance from the wolves, but it was dark, and the dire wolf suddenly disappeared in front of us, we were in a hurry, and immediately chased after it, and after a few steps, we heard a shrill cat bark and a low howl of the dire wolf." We rushed to hear the noise, and the result was ...... As a result, all of us were stunned by the scene in front of us - a snow-white fox surrounded by layers of dire wolves, and the four of us looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. ”
Bai Ye frowned, "Fox? ”
He Xiu nodded and said, "That fox was in a mess with the wolves, we all thought that the fox was just dying, which animal could still run away alive if it was surrounded by a pack of wolves, not to mention that those were still dire wolves, maybe they had already become sperm." As a result, after a fight, one of the dire wolves seemed to be injured, and then ran away with the other dire wolves. ”
Bai Ye was surprised, "Meaning, the fox won?" ”
"That's right!" He corrected his body and continued, "This is not the end, after that, the fox suddenly turned into a human form, and it was a young man in his early twenties!" He turned and walked to a wooden house, spoke briefly with a man and a woman, and then went inside. The four of us sat on the ground on our butts for a long time, and we began to argue about what we had just seen, some saying that it was a vixen, and some that it was a cat demon. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't sit still, and asked Bai Ye, "Old man, is that the fox that the person named He Xiu has been talking about in his mouth?" ”
Bai Ye nodded.
"You believed him when he said it?" I thought to myself, I saw Little Pink turn into a cat and didn't believe my eyes.
"Of course I don't believe it!" Bai Ye raised his voice, "So as soon as he said this, I couldn't listen to it anymore, so I said to him: Grandson! I've saved your lives, one big and one young, and you're making up fairy tales for me here? It's a wolf, a cat, and a fox, don't you think I'm idle? ”
"And then, then what did He Xiu say?" I asked anxiously.
"He was jumping up in a hurry, just like you." Bai Ye slapped me, and I realized that I had knocked over the teacup on the table, and the tea had already dripped onto my pants, so I hurriedly pulled out a few pieces of paper, "You continue to talk about yours!" ”
"He Xiu saw that I didn't believe it, so he hurriedly explained to me, what to say, you saved us, in my Dahe's opinion, you are a benefactor, I am mixed in the road, I am famous for my righteousness, and I will repay my kindness! Besides, what reason do I have to lie to you, and then he says he doesn't have much to live. I told him that you can't die if you beat me with my serum - boss, shoot the cucumber again! Bai Ye suddenly called.
I knocked on the table twice to urge Bai Ye to continue.
He Xiu said what his own body knew that even if he wasn't bitten to death by the snake today, he wouldn't live long. As he spoke, he rolled up his clothes and pants...... "Bai Ye smacked his lips in disgust, "There is no good place for him to rot anymore, and there is a foul smell." I smelled a stench before that and thought it was because you two hadn't showered in too long. I immediately looked at you lying on the side, but He Xiu reassured me and said that you were okay because you had eaten the spirit stone. ”
"What did he say I ate?" I bounced off the stool.
