Chapter 4: Crossing People and Ghosts (1)
"What? You're going to take her down the mountain! Situ Xuan stood up from his chair in shock, and the tea in the cup in his hand almost spilled.
"Yes." Situ Lan in front of the desk replied indifferently, and the wolf in his hand did not hesitate to write.
"You, you...... What do you think? Situ Xuan walked to his side: "I've also tried, that Xia girl may really not be a little uncle, she doesn't have any aura around her, and she really doesn't seem to know about the Holy Maiden Temple and the things back then, and it doesn't look like she's pretending." ”
Situ Lan was noncommittal when he heard this, and still lowered his head and wrote.
"You just took her down the mountain because you wanted to...... Kill her? ”
“…… No. Situ Lan finally put down the pen in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Situ Xuan.
"But she doesn't have any spiritual power, you take her down the mountain to get rid of the trouble, and she has no power to fight back when she touches anything, so it's not waiting for death?" Situ Xuan rolled his eyes completely without image.
Situ Lan also stood up and glanced at his junior brother silently: "I'll protect her." ”
"You protect her?!" Situ Xuanxin said that the sun really came out of the west, there are thousands of people in this world, in addition to putting the world and all living beings in your eyes, when have you worked hard for one person.
"Moon Buds and Clouds......
"I know, I know, you can go with confidence. Here is me and Situ Yuan, it will be fine, and we will pay special attention to Linyue Peak. It is...... You're going to bring her back alive for the New Year, right? ”
“…… Hum! Situ Lan flicked his sleeves, and the man disappeared again.
The summer curtain got up early in the morning, and I didn't pack up anything for half a day last night, not to mention the belongings after coming here, even the underwear is not a few, and the most valuable thing is Chang'an in my arms. "Lord Situ Men is early! There you are! As soon as he saw Situ Lan, he greeted him with a flattering face, and then everything depended on him, and he had to ask him how to borrow money, so he was polite!
"Hmm." Situ Lan also had nothing, empty-handed, except for the sword at his waist, Xueji.
Is it true that rich people go out and don't take anything with them and buy new ones? Xia Mu didn't say anything, and followed honestly.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, Annai couldn't hold back that mouth: "Situ Lan, where are we going?" ”
"Yanzhou."
"So what are we going to do? Is it also a demon slayer? ”
"Yes."
"Is it fun? Isn't it exciting? ”
"......" Situ Lan.
"Is that far?"
"Don't want to walk?" Situ Lan raised his eyes and said.
"No, no, it hasn't been long since I walked, I'm not tired yet." Xia Mu hurriedly waved his hand, if he used teleportation again, it would be boring, there was scenery along the road, and if he could finish things in minutes, it would be too boring. "By the way, what kind of monsters are we going to fight?"
"The Disaster Elimination Pavilion received a report from Yanzhou, and a suspected trace of the demon clan was found there, so I'll go and see it." Situ Lan said.
"Demons?" Xia Mu thought seriously for a long time, well, I don't understand: "What is a demon?" Is it easy to accept? ”
"The demon race, the demon race, and the human race are the three main clans of the Xianmen Nether, and in principle, they do not invade each other and coexist peacefully." Situ Lan glanced sideways at the humble and studious Xia Mu and explained: "But the demon clan is aggressive by nature, and often steps into the human world and the demon world to do mischief. They often take the form of humans or demons, so discover them and banish them. ”
"Huh? That's it.,So to put it that way.,The demons really don't make sense.。 Why don't people and demons unite and kill the demons? ”
“…… Existence is meaning. Even if there is a Heavenly Demon Clan, it will really perish, and it shouldn't be my generation to do this. Situ Lan's ears rang with another person saying this.
Back then, he was only seven years old, and he especially remembered standing under the cherry blossom tree, Situ Xuan asked: "Uncle Xiao, you are so powerful, why don't you destroy all the demons, so as to prevent future troubles, so that they will come out to do evil." ”
"Stupid." The girl under the tree smiled lightly, more magnificent than the rain of cherry blossoms in the sky. "Existence is meaning. There are good people and bad people in the world, and there are good and bad demons in the demon world, and the demons are naturally too. My generation exists in the world with a mission to maintain the peace of the three clans, and even if the Heavenly Demon Clan really dies, it shouldn't be my generation who does this. Ah Lan, Ah Xuan, got it? ”
"Yes." Xiao Situ Lan said seriously.
"Oh, got it." Xiao Situ Xuan also rolled up his clothes and nodded.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled again, which was better than the crisp sound of the octagonal bronze and silver Ling under the eaves of the Holy Maiden's Shrine......
"Well, that's what I think is true." Xia Mu echoed, in fact, she didn't understand too much, but what Situ Lan said must be reasonable.
His thoughts were pulled back by the summer curtain beside him, and Situ Lan unconsciously clenched the hand in his sleeve again.
For a while, neither of them said anything more, just hurried on the road. Xia Mu was entertaining herself almost all the way, Situ Lan was dull, she naturally wanted to find some fun by herself. For example, chasing butterflies, catching dragonflies, and when there are no wildflowers on the roadside, she uses dog tail grass to weave grass rings for herself, and while humming a song while enjoying the natural scenery along the way, the first day is very new for her, and it can be regarded as a very happy and comfortable life.
In the evening, the two walked to a small town, and before entering the town, Xia Mu saw a large stone with the inscription: Jialai Town.
I found an inn and went inside. It is not much different from the scenes set up in the crew, and there is no uneasiness and strangeness in the summer curtain. It's just the boss's first sentence, which still embarrassed Xia Mu: "Are the two husband and wife?" Want an upper room? ”
Situ Lan didn't move, but Xia Mu almost jumped up: "No, no, no, no, no, we're ...... Alas! Anyway, it's two. ”
"Two upper rooms." Situ Lan then said.
"Oh, okay, you guys wait." After that, the boss gave two house cards, took them and went upstairs together.
Xia Mu glanced at it, the two were adjacent, and Situ Lan lived next door to her. No matter why, Xia Curtain settled down. When I entered my room, the furnishings were very simple, the bed was covered with a blue-gray quilt, there was a tea set and hot water on the table, a large cabinet leaned against the wall and I didn't know what was inside, and a few stools stood around the table.
"Alas! With such a design, how can there be a business? "Summer Curtain is really dissatisfied, and I thought that it would be different in the inn after going down the mountain, at least it could be a little brighter. Why is it still the same as the moon buds and clouds, everywhere is gray and not slippery. But I still poured myself a cup of hot water first, and after drinking it, I found that I was even more hungry, and I didn't eat much at noon, and only used a piece of cake from the aftertaste hall in the morning to solve the problem, and Situ Lan walked along the road without eating anything, wasn't he hungry? Even if it would be ugly, but being hungry was really a big deal, and he still licked his face and knocked on Situ Lan's door.
"What?" Situ Lan still opened the door indifferently and asked.
"That...... That, are you hungry? Natsumu smiled expectantly with a pug.
"Not hungry."
"......" not hungry?! Xia Mu suppressed the fire that came up from the 'Woo' and continued to flatter: "You haven't eaten for a day, and you've walked so much, how can you not be hungry?" ”
"I don't eat."
"If you don't eat, you want to become an immortal?!"
"Yes."
"......" Xia Mu felt that a basin of cold water poured down his head, and he almost slapped his thigh, how could he forget this stubble, it seemed that their cultivation was really to ascend to immortality. Alas! "But...... I am hungry. Aggrieved, he pursed his lips and looked pitiful.
"......" Situ Lan was stunned for a moment, as if he had reacted to something, took out a pure white bag from his waist, handed it to Xia Mu, and said, "Go whatever you want." ”
Xia Mu took it blankly, opened it and saw that it was silver!! That's the money! Roar, roar, roar! At this moment, Situ Lan didn't shine too much in Xia Mu's eyes, and even his face that was cold into ice seemed to grow cute little yellow flowers.
"You're so interesting, big brother. I'll pay you back when I make money! What to eat? I'll bring it back to you, oh yes, you don't eat, then I'll go first! Situ Lan watched the dancing summer curtain walk down the stairs with an expressionless face......
At sunset, Xia Mu walked out of the inn to find something to eat, in her concept, the things in the hotel were not as delicious as the snacks from the local roadside stalls, so she rushed out as soon as she got the money. But looking at it, this town doesn't seem to be too prosperous, and in the evening this stall is almost collected, and there are no crowds everywhere like the night market I imagined. Somewhat disappointed, he walked slowly to see if he could find anything good to eat, until it was dark, and Xia Mu finally resigned himself to his fate and sat down at a roadside noodle stall.
"Uncle, come to a bowl of noodles, please put more meat, more eggs, and more spicy." I sat on the bench and didn't want to move a single step.
"Okay, here we go." After a while, the noodles were served on the table, and Xia Mu couldn't take care of much, so he began to eat, and everything was delicious when he was hungry. Especially the large cutlets in the noodle bowl are really satisfying. When I was eating, I suddenly saw a white puppy under the table, probably smelling the aroma of meat.
Before the summer curtain could take a closer look, the uncle of the noodle stall came to catch up. "Go away, go away!" After that, he picked up the tongs by the stove and was about to hit it, but the little white dog jumped left and right twice before he was not hit.
"Don't fight, don't fight." The noodles in Xia Mu's mouth were still half in the air, and she quickly sucked them in and stopped them with both hands. "It's so small, so pitiful, why are you hitting it!"
"I said how come there are always fewer steaks or buns lately, it turns out to be this brute." The noodle stall uncle said that he was going to do it again.
"Don't, don't, it's okay! Boss, you're just guessing, and you don't really see that it did it. "Xia Mu has liked fluffy animals since he was a child, and when he sees animals such as cats, dogs, and rabbits, he can't walk." So, I'll buy two more steaks, okay? You make two more steaks for me, and I'll take them. ”
When the noodle stall owner saw Xia Mu say this, he couldn't bother with the animal anymore, so he turned around and went to make meat steaks.
Xia Mu squatted down and picked up the little white dog who was so frightened that he was cowering in the corner, it was so light. It was pure white, without a single white stray hair, and its dark eyes were staring at the summer curtain.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hit you." Love is overflowing, and mother's love is like a river. The palm of his hand is slowly stroking the puppy's body, huh? What breed of dog is this, very small, with a pointed mouth, and a Pomeranian? But it doesn't seem to be, I can't say it. Well, Mo is not hybridized? There are dogs of this breed here, alas!
"Boss, have you ever seen this dog? Do you know who raised it? Natsumu held it up and asked.
"I haven't seen it." The noodle stall owner didn't look back, and continued to be busy with the things at hand.
"Okay, so are you lost? Can't find your way home? What about your master? Xia Mu held the little white dog up in front of his eyes. The little white dog didn't have any answer except for looking at her, and when a gust of wind rose, Xia Mu couldn't help but shudder, and quickly stuffed the little white dog that seemed to be still nursing into his cloak. He took the steak packed by the noodle stall owner, paid the money, and returned to the inn.
