Chapter 45: But for the Iraqi (1)
After I left Shennong Valley, I went all the way to the east, thinking about the left and right and I didn't know where to go, it was better to turn back to Baiye Village on the southeast coast, and the foothold I crossed over was in the mountain forest behind the village. Second, even if he can't go back for a while, he is still far away from the Shennong Valley, which is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, I scolded the woman in white for being irresponsible, and she didn't guide herself to a future after she deceived herself. That's it, go to him as a Five Spirit Saint, it's a big matter to me, in this turbulent and chaotic world, it is important to save my life first, and then return to modern times safely. Suddenly, I thought of the villagers of Baiye Village, who were kidnapped by Chun Yujun at that time, and it was difficult for him to protect himself, but he really forgot all about these people, and he didn't know how they lived or died at present. Those robbers must have just looted! Kill everyone completely, and you won't have to rob it next time.
Along the way, there were barren mountains and mountains, hungry for wild fruits, thirsty for rock springs, I learned to build tents and make some simple small shacks, and when I was lucky, I could find a cave to shelter in, or climb directly to the trees to sleep. The internal injuries left by Bijun occasionally hurt faintly, but fortunately, she still carried a bag of spiritual grass collected in Baicao Stream, chewed some purple mushroom and red ginseng to swallow, but also relieved the pain, and then did not recur, the whole person felt energetic, light and healthy, and climbed trees faster.
After passing through several small towns one after another, I finally arrived at Rongzhou City, which is also a dilapidated town, but the infrastructure is relatively perfect. I went to the only pharmacy in the city, and wanted to sell the Ganoderma lucidum ginseng to the shopkeeper for money, but the shopkeeper in this small city was timid and uninformed, and said that he couldn't distinguish the truth from the fake, and took out a few herbs to give him and didn't know, and finally let him collect a few fish fin grass that invigorated blood and dissolved blood stasis, only for two taels of silver, I asked the shopkeeper where there was a big pharmacy, and the shopkeeper said that it was a big city to go fifteen miles to the east, and I thought to myself that I had entered the territory of Sichuan, and the soul of the dead had to pass through here to be reincarnated, The scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night is terrifying to think about. To go or not to go?
I just bought a simple set of clothes, ate a hearty meal, and stayed in a tattered inn for one night, and there was not much left of the tight two taels of silver, I gritted my teeth: "As the saying goes, 'people die for money, birds die for food', this girl has seen all the demons and monsters, and she will be afraid that you will be a little drunk." "When I think of the food and drink in the past few days, I suddenly feel that this is the most terrible.
I got up early in the morning and hurried to the capital in the evening. Sure enough, it is the weather of the border city: the streets are spacious and neat, the north and south are vertical and horizontal, the houses are lined up one after another, and there is no lack of big families in Zhumen and the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food. There were not a few pedestrians along the way, and the whole town seemed to be shrouded in an eerie and dead ghostly atmosphere, as soon as the living entered the city, they were cut off from the outside world, and the sunlight had not completely receded, even if I was as bold as me, I still couldn't help but feel the cold and terrible.
After wandering for a long time, I finally found a big pharmacy called "Changshengtang", I directly found the shopkeeper, and spread out all the elixirs with a burden, the owner of this shop is also a person who knows the goods, each herb can be named, and the price is quoted in time, and in turn he appreciates my vision and courage, I think he already knows that the collection of these medicinal materials is not easy, so he is impressed by my little woman, and praised.
After a business negotiation, I actually earned 10,000 gold, and my mood suddenly turned very good, thinking about this crossing, although I was displaced, nine deaths, I didn't think that Saion lost his horse, and accidentally became a rich woman by selling a medicinal herb, that is, I went back to modern times, and I didn't have to work for people in the future, just buy a few properties, and then open a small shop, you can sit comfortably and enjoy it, and be free in the world, thinking of this, my heart is really happy.
In addition to the pharmacy, I found a money shop, and looked at its magnificence and grand scale, so I was relieved to save the money and exchange it into small gold ingots, and poured it all into the hibiscus brocade bag bought at the stall and tied it tightly around my waist, which was relieved. The guy who handled the business was quite enthusiastic, looked at her and asked, "The girl is from out of town?" β
I nodded.
The man's expression was a little nervous: "Before it gets dark, the girl should hurry up and find an inn to stay." If you really can't find the inn, the girl can go back here, the shopkeeper is a kind person, the little one told him, vacate the empty room in the backyard, and the girl will be okay for one night? β
I thought to myself, "Humph! What kind of kindness, don't you see that I am alone, living in a foreign land, and carrying a huge amount of money, so I have the idea to have a wealth and money? So he calmed down and asked, "Why is that?" β
The man's expression became even more nervous: "Because...... Alas...... In short, this place is very evil at night, so don't talk about it. The small ones are also from other places, and they have been working here for more than two years, but they still can't get used to it! β
I smiled coldly and said, "Then I will leave." He put away the silver ticket, turned around and left, and the voice of the man came from behind him: "Girl, if you find that there are more pedestrians on the road, don't pay attention to them, just go your own." β
At this time, night fell, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street except myself, and the flowing clouds blocked the cold moon from time to time, and the light and light on the ground were uncertain, which added to the ghostly atmosphere of the city, and I only heard my own footsteps and breathing, and my heart was so tense that it was about to jump out of my throat.
Fortunately, a house not far ahead, the door was still wide open, the lights were bright, and I rushed in as if I had seen a savior, and it was indeed an inn. The second child in the store was cleaning with a broom, and the shopkeeper was counting the accounts, and he didn't have a smile when he saw me coming, so he said: "The guest officer came by coincidence, and the shop is about to close." β
I asked, "Boss, do you still have a room?" β
The shopkeeper didn't raise his eyes: "The room is there." β
After paying for the room, Xiao Er led me upstairs, looking at the empty rooms one by one, I was puzzled: "I see that the decoration of your store is not bad, why is the business so light?" β
Xiao Er smiled: "You don't know, guest officer!" The people living in this capital city are all locals, even if they come to a few other places, they are all hired workers, and there are few merchants and travelers, so there are few people who live in this hotel, and the business is naturally bleak. No, tonight is just you and the two guests of Room 9. β
I stayed in room 10, and Xiao Er brought me dinner and bath water, and before leaving the house, he told me to just cover my head and sleep at night, and ignore any noise. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I thought that since I entered this capital city, it was strange everywhere, and there were really ghosts and monsters. She simply washed up, and then lay down on the bed to rest, the bed was very soft, the quilt was very soft, and the heavy sleepiness rolled in after the hard work of the past month, and she fell asleep from time to time.
I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard the sound of a woman crying in my ears, intermittently, and the crying was sad. "Someone is crying?!" I opened my eyes and listened, and there was indeed someone crying, as if it was just outside the door. She got up and was about to open the door to go out to see what was going on, but she remembered Xiao Er's advice again, and she suppressed her eager curiosity, closed her eyes again, and was about to fall asleep in a daze.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, scratching my forehead cold, she squinted her eyes and felt the bed net fluttering, through the bed net, vaguely saw a white shadow nested in the corner of the wall, took her eyes wide to take a closer look, it was a woman's figure, black hair hanging long on the ground, the low cry still ringing in her ears. Her eyesight is excellent at this time, and her vision in the dark should be idle, and she will definitely not be dazzled. She was shocked, she didn't feel sleepy, she sat up directly from the bed, her entire vest was soaked with sweat, and she couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Damn stinky little er, if you just sleep, this girl's little life will be buried here." β
I already understand what this white shadow is, what she admires is that she can still sit here calmly at this moment, staring at this "ghost" without any scruples, it seems that this crossing not only made her rich, but also made her bold, but whether she can continue to be bold and rich this time, it is really unknown. She took out a purple talisman from the inner pocket of her close-fitting coat - this is a life-saving talisman given to her by Yu Wenbin, the color of the Taoist talisman is divided into grades according to "blood purple and golden", this purple talisman is already the highest talisman except for the blood of the Taoist himself, even people without any spiritual power can use this talisman at will. She silently held the characters in her hands, crumpled them into a ball, then lifted the bed tent and smiled at the female ghost: "What are you doing squatting there?" β
The female ghost said miserably, "I, I'm looking for my eyes! β
I said, "I'll help you find it." β
The female ghost said happily, "Okay! β
I was about to stand up after putting on my shoes, but when I saw a pair of bloody eyes at my feet, I gasped and almost cried out, "Aren't your eyes here!" β
The female ghost stood up and said faintly, "Thank you! "Fluttering towards me, I saw the right time, and threw the spirit rune paper ball towards the female ghost, but this female ghost was too erratic, the charm group was too light, and my accuracy was poor, this loss just wiped the female ghost's long hair and burned off a bridle of hair, which angered her.
"Ahh The female ghost let out a terrible scream, revealing a miserable white face and two black hole eyes, and her black hair also stretched out, densely swept towards me, I also screamed and ran away, my hands changed gestures randomly, I wanted to learn from Yu Wenbin's appearance to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, but my heart was getting colder and colder, thinking that this time I was really dead, every time something happened, he came to save her, but this time he would never come.
Seeing that my hair was about to wrap around me, suddenly a ball of golden light came from behind the female ghost, and the crumpled purple rune on the ground rose into the air, the purple light was sheng, mixed with the golden light, and the female ghost screamed and rolled all over the ground, and from time to time was wrapped in the purple gold light, and the form and spirit were destroyed.
I only heard a woman's voice outside the door: "Shouting in the middle of the night, and not letting people sleep?" β
Knowing that I had been saved, I immediately said, "Thank you for saving my life." β
The woman snorted and ignored her.
In the second half of the night, there was no abnormality, and I really fell asleep.
It wasn't until the next day that I woke up, and if it weren't for the unbearable hunger, I was afraid that she would continue to sleep soundly for the rest of the day. After washing, I staggered downstairs like an uncle, and since I had money, my whole person's aura has changed.
After ordering a sumptuous meal, I gobbled it up and felt a little thirsty, so I asked, "What do you have to drink?" β
Xiao Er said: "We have good aged flowers here, sweet and mellow bamboo leaf green, and Du Kang wine with a long aftertaste!" β
I frowned slightly: "That, this girl doesn't want to drink." Is there any milk, soy milk or juice? β
"Ahh β
I sighed, waved my hand at him and said, "Okay! Just take a cup and let me taste it. β
This rose dew is red in color, sweet and fragrant, I thought it was similar to juice, I raised my head and drank a big sip, who knew that the sweetness was soft and moist with a bit of spicy prickly throat, I swallowed half of it, spit out half of it, and was choked and coughed.
At this time, a Qianqianyu hand next to me reached over and snatched the wine cup from my hand, and the owner of the hand said angrily: "It's really useless, I can't even drink rose dew, it's really a vain woman." As he spoke, he raised his head and drank a cup of rose dew cleanly.
When I looked up, I was so shocked that my eyes were about to fall out, and the person who came was Yu Jinsu, who had a relationship with Baicaojian.
Yu Jinsu walked towards the shopkeeper as if she didn't know her at all. I pulled Xiao Er over and asked, "Is this person also a resident of the store?" β
Xiao Er smiled: "It's the guest next door to you in Room Nine." β
Then I realized: "Oh - it turned out that she was the one who saved me last night. She didn't even hold a grudge against me for robbing her husband of life-saving grass, and she still seems to be a good woman. β
Yu Jinsu knocked on the table in front of the cabinet to warn the shopkeeper who was only planning to plate: "Lao Luo, bring me three altars of daughter red." β
The shopkeeper's small eyes flickered: "Yes, but please pay for the wine first." β
Yu Jinsu said angrily: "Didn't you always drink first and then pay the bill? β
The shopkeeper said, "That's because you used to have money." But now you are penniless. β
Yu Jin Suyu slapped her hand and pointed at the boss's nose but couldn't speak: "You-"
Seeing Yu Jinsu's weak face, and if he was shy, I thought that this snobbish boss wanted to have practiced some special magic skills, and just by looking at it, he knew that the other party had money or not.
Yu Jinsu held back his anger and said, "Then I'll take credit first, and I'll pay you back another day." β
The shopkeeper said, "I'm sorry, the small shop doesn't pay on credit." β
Yu Jinsu said: "In the past month, I have spent more than a thousand gold with you, can't I be accommodating?" β
The shopkeeper said: "Mrs. Suwen, you will have some methods to fly to the sky, if you use it then, who will the shop find to collect money?" β
"Smack-" A silver ticket of five hundred taels was buckled on the counter, and I said with a smile: "Boss, look how much wine you can drink with this silver ticket!" β
The boss saw the money and smiled brightly: "I think I can drink at least ten jars of daughter red and five cups of rose dew." Xiao Er, what are you still doing in a daze, don't drink soon. β
I invited Yu Jinsu to sit down at his desk: "If you drink wine in the morning, you need some food pads." As he spoke, he beckoned Xiao Er to serve some more dishes.
Yu Jinsu waved his hand: "That's it, if you don't have the appetite for food, these wines are the best." β
I shook my head helplessly, and said, "Little sister, I would like to thank Sister Yu for saving her life." β
Yu Jinsu said: "Actually, that long-haired female ghost is just squatting there, why do you bother to provoke her." β
I held my chin and thought for a moment, and smiled, "Wellβit feels like knowing there's a mosquito lying next to you and trying not to kill it." β
Yu Jinsu pursed her lips and smiled: "You girl is also apt to describe it." β
I said: "Actually, Sister Yu is a large number of adults, and she didn't care about the revenge of the younger sister who took you Yaocao before, so she was willing to come to the rescue." β
Yu Jinsu smiled bitterly: "This Yao herb has nothing to do with me, how can I blame you, not to mention that even if I get Yao grass, I don't know if I can save that person's life." Her eyes seemed to be glistening with tears, and she looked up and poured a jar of wine into her mouth.
I only feel that these wines are spicy and prickly at any taste, and the taste of such a sea drink is not unpleasant, and if it were not for an inextricable knot in my heart, how could I torture myself with this irritating and paralyzing method. I didn't know how to persuade for a while, so I only smiled and said: "Sister Yu drinks like this, it's no wonder that Yue Yu spent all her money in her pocket." β
Yu Jinsu laughed, lowered his voice and said to me: "Tell you, sister, I have taken all those treasures and magic weapons that have passed through the aura, even my favorite hibiscus Su embroidered belly pocket with gold and silver silk." β
I was so shocked that I almost squirted out the tea in my mouth, and I couldn't help laughing, I only heard that the mink Qiu for wine shows juvenile madness, what is this belly pocket for wine? When she first saw Yu Jinsu in Baicaojian, she only felt that she was an indifferent and resentful person, so look at it again, she is really a hearty and unpretentious female man, and she is very right with herself, and she is full of pride for a while, picked up a glass of rose dew, touched the cup with Yu Jinsu's wine jar, raised her head and drank it dry, clear and luscious in the sweetness of a mellow aftertaste, slightly spicy, but the more you drink, the better it is, the more you want to drink.
For a while, the two women's cups went back and forth, and one of them talked nonsense, but the more they talked, the more speculative they became. The wine into the bowels, turned into lovesick tears, both of them were a little sad from it, it was noon, the people who ate at the inn became more and more, seeing this pair of women crying and laughing, noisy endlessly, they all felt defeated, sat for a while and left. The boss saw that the guest came calmly, hurried away, patted his thigh and sighed, I knew his mind, laughed and threw out a silver ticket of five hundred taels, which made him turn his anger into joy.
