Chapter 17: To the Town
Jiong Yan looked at Mu Yu and asked, "How did you find him?" ”
Xiao Ze smiled and told Jiong Yan what had happened.
After speaking, Xiao Ze wondered while recalling: "This magic bead keeps shining by the river, but there is only this little girl named Yuruo by the river, I thought it was her at first, but in the end I found out that it was not her."
I looked around, but I couldn't find anyone else, but the bead was still flashing white, indicating that the 'Soul Purifier' was around me, but why couldn't I see his figure? It can't be that Mu Yu will be invisible, right? ”
When Jiong Yan heard it, he thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Incognito?" Let's not talk about whether Mu Yu will be stealth. If he knows how to stealth, but with his cultivation, won't you notice it? ”
Xiao Ze tilted his head and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "You're right, with his cultivation, I should be able to detect it." The other person was hiding, but I looked around the river, and I didn't find anything else except Yuruo. ”
Xiao Ze was puzzled. Jiong Yan pondered slightly, his eyes lit up, and he had already thought of the answer in his heart.
"Who do you think this 'Soul Purifier' is?" He whispered to Xiao Ze.
"Mu Yu," Xiao Ze was even more puzzled.
"What is Mu Yu's original form?" Jiong Yan continued to mention.
"Fish......" When Xiao Ze spit out the word "fish", he realized in a trance: "I understand." River water! Mu Yu has been in the river all the time. ”
Jiong Yan smiled and quipped, "It seems that you are still not too stupid." ”
Xiao Ze smiled and said, "I'll just praise me when you say this." ”
"In order to successfully eliminate the Great Demon King Xiaotian, this matter must not be mentioned to anyone." When Jiong Yan looked at Mu Yu again, he suddenly reminded Xiao Ze.
"Yes. I have also reminded Mu Yu not to mention it to anyone. Xiao Ze glanced at Mu Yu and said.
Jiong Yan looked at Yu Ruo, frowned and asked Xiao Ze, "Why did you bring this little girl home?" You should only bring Mu Yu alone. ”
Xiao Ze raised his forehead and said: "Alas, if this Mu Yu and Yu are good friends, Mu Yu intends to take her." If I refuse, Mu Yu will definitely not leave her and follow me;
If I only let Mu Yu follow me, then the little girl Yu Ruo will ask, 'Why only Mu Yu and not her', how do you let me answer? You can't tell the truth.
Besides, this little girl is a kind person, and it doesn't hurt to take it. ”
Jiong Yan put his right hand on Xiao Ze's shoulder and whispered, "Then this little girl will be handed over to you, and Mu Yu will follow me." ”
Xiao Ze grasped this, and asked awkwardly, "What do you mean by handing over the little girl to me." Why do I get more and more strange about what you say? ”
Jiong Yan patted Xiao Ze's shoulder, smiled, and quipped: "I don't mean anything special when I say this, it's that you think too much." ”
Xiao Ze glanced at Jiong Yan, and said, "Go and go, I think it's because you're thinking too much." ”
"Hey, what are you two talking about outside, come in and talk together," Yu Ruo saw that the two of them seemed to be chatting happily outside, and wanted to join them in the chat, so he came out and called them in.
Xiao Ze and Jiong Yan saw that Yu Ruo was coming, so they didn't say more, and followed her in, drinking tea and chatting together.
The next day, the sun rose, and the sunlight passed through the window and sprinkled on Jiong Yan, Xiao Ze and Mu Yu. Several people instantly felt warm on their bodies.
Xiao Ze slowly sat up straight, stretched a big waist, and prepared to go to the inn.
"Where are you going?" Yu Ruo came out of the other room and saw Xiao Ze get up and prepare to leave, she immediately asked.
"I'm going to the inn." Xiao Ze took a sip of water and prepared to go out.
"Okay, I'll go too." As soon as Yu Ruo heard that he was going out, he excitedly said that he wanted to go with him.
The voices of the two of them woke up Jiong Yan and Mu Yu. Mu Yu heard Xiao Ze and Yu Ruo say that they were going out.
He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where are you going?" I'll go too. ”
"You can't go, it's full of talismans outside. You can only stay at home with Jiongyan. Xiao Ze reminded Mu Yu carefully. There is concern in the words, but also some regret.
Yu Ruo saw that Mu Yu was a little lost, "snapped" and patted Mu Yu, and comforted: "Let's go out and have a look, if there is fun and delicious food outside, I will also bring you a copy, and you will stay at home." After smiling sweetly at Mu Yu again, he went out with Xiao Zefei.
As soon as Yu Ruo went out, he was fascinated by the dazzling array of items on the street.
When she saw the rouge shop, she immediately went in and smeared it; When I came to the jewelry store, I immediately looked at it and wore it; When I saw the tailor's shop, I was about to measure it; When he saw juggling on the street, he stopped to watch and kept clapping his hands.
All this in town was new and strange to her, and the temptation was too strong.
Xiao Ze dragged Yu Ruo to the "Jia's Inn" in the back.
There are already a few tables of customers in the small shop, but fortunately, the newly recruited Xiao Er is clever and clever and arranges the guests properly.
"Brother Xiao, why are you so late today?" Xiao Er asked.
"I brought a friend over to take a look, and I walked around with her, so I'm here now." Xiao Ze pointed at Yu Ruo and explained.
Yu Ruo visited the inn alone. A burst of vegetable fragrance came to Yu Ruo's nose, and Yu Ruo followed the fragrance of the vegetable to a guest table.
She saw that there were several dishes on the table, and they seemed to be delicious. So he asked the guest at the table, "Are these things delicious?" ”
"It's delicious, the food in this inn still tastes good." A guest officer replied with satisfaction.
Yu Ruo stared at the colorful vegetables, couldn't help but reach out and grab a little, and immediately put it into his mouth.
The guest officer at the guest table was stunned by her actions, and after reacting, he instantly turned to anger.
"Smack"
The guest officer at this table suddenly slapped his chopsticks on the table and shouted, "What's the matter? This is the dish we ordered, you have to eat it yourself! ”
Xiao Ze looked at Yu Ruo's side and thought: It's broken! immediately rushed over, apologized to the guest officer at this table, and re-served a few side dishes for free. These people didn't embarrass Xiao Ze.
"I'm sorry, guys, please slow down." After Xiao Ze apologized again, he took Yu Ruo away. I found a place for her to sit down, and ordered some food for her to eat slowly.
"Just ate something, why are these mortals so stingy?" Yu Ruo pouted and wondered.
Xiao Ze saw that she didn't understand the rules, and what she did just now was purely unintentional. He comforted softly: "It's okay." You're hungry, so I'm given you some side dishes, and you eat them yourself. ”
Yu Ruo immediately grabbed the dish with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Xiao Ze: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”
Xiao Ze saw that her eating appearance was a little indecent, so he kindly reminded: "You have to use chopsticks." Then he took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Yu Ruo.
Yu Ruo looked at the chopsticks and thought that Xiao Ze gave them to him, so he took a bite of the chopsticks.
"Ahh My teeth," Yu Ruo cried out as she covered her face in pain.
Xiao Ze was stunned by this Yu Ruo's operation. Then he said, "These are chopsticks, which are used to hold the dishes on the plate." Like me. ”
Xiao Ze saw that Yu Ruo still didn't understand the use of chopsticks, so he showed her.
Yu Ruo understood everything now, learned Xiao Ze's movements, and picked up chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. But after a while, I just can't hold the dishes. She gradually lost her patience, put the chopsticks aside, and grabbed them directly with her hands.
Xiao Ze saw that she really couldn't use chopsticks, and he didn't force her anymore. I couldn't help but go to the counter and snicker.
At this time, a woman slowly walked into the inn with a musical instrument in her hand.
Yuruo's eyes fell on the instrument in the woman's arms. She got up, sat down beside the girl, pointed to the lute and asked, "Is this lute yours?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" The girl smiled with the lute in her arms.
"Can I bounce it?" Yu Ruo asked cautiously.
"No! It's someone else's stuff, and we can't mess around. Xiao Ze saw Yu Ruo running to another table at the counter, worried that she would get some more "moths", so he flew over and pulled her to leave.
"It's okay, if the girl can play, please play a song." The girl holding the pipa didn't mind and handed it to Yu Ruo.
Xiao Ze kept glancing at Yu Ruo beside him, asking her to leave here.
But Yuruo didn't seem to see it, wiped his hands on his dress, took the pipa unceremoniously, and sat down.
Yu Ruo used his soft hand to gently twist and slowly twist the strings, and the guests who were dining in the inn stopped to admire.
A smooth moan like spring water filled the inn, and then Yu Ruozhu's lips opened, and he sang:
"The frost wheel is bright, and the shadow of the tong is long;
The sound of the piano is loud, and I miss my hometown;
Half a pot, full of frost;
Looking for my father and mother, where is it;
The road is long, and there are several lines of weeping;
Yes......
The singing was soft, the singing was tactful and complaining, and all the people present were infected by the sound of the pipa. In particular, some of the guest officers who were wandering outside heard this music, which triggered the nostalgia for their parents and hometown in their hearts.
As Xiao Ze listened to the tune, he remembered his grandfather and father.
His grandfather, Xiao Lao, sacrificed his life for the sake of the world;
His father worked hard to raise him as an adult, and in the end, in order to protect him and Jiong Yan, he was also killed by the demon clan. Thinking of this, sadness comes from it.
"Huh? Why did you switch to playing the pipa today? Tang Yi heard the sound of pipa outside the inn and came in curiously to take a look.
Xiao Ze saw that Tang Yi was coming, and immediately turned around and turned his back to Tang Yi, rubbed his reddish eyes, put away his sadness, and after calming down his good mood, he smiled at Tang Yi and said, "Change the program today." ”
Tang Yi pointed to Yu Ruo's back and asked, "Where did you find the girl?" She plays so well, how much are you going to pay? ”
"They're all friends, so why don't you pay anything?" Xiao Ze said.
Tang Yi was curious, through the contact with Xiao Zejiongyan and the others in the past few days, he still knew them more or less, they had very few people in contact with and even fewer friends, let alone knowing girls.
Now a girl suddenly appeared, and he wondered curiously: which girl is this?
When Yuruo finished playing the tune, he returned the lute to the woman. turned around and sat down at the table where he was sitting just now, and waved his hand to beckon Xiao Ze to hurry over.
Tang Yi looked at Yu Ruo, and Yu Ruo also saw Tang Yi.
When the two of them looked at each other, they were both stunned, and they both shouted: "You! ”
Needless to say, Xiao Ze looked at the surprised expressions of the two, and understood in his heart: This Jiong Yan, Tang Yi, Mu Yu, and Yu Ruo have already known each other.
Yesterday I was so excited that I forgot to ask them how they met, and now I want to know why they met, so I asked curiously, "How did you meet?" ”
After the three of them sat down, Tang Yi slowly described how they met.
"Oh, I met because of a misunderstanding." Xiao Ze summed up the reason for acquaintance,
Tang Yi took the chopsticks and wanted to pick up some food to eat, but the chopsticks had not yet reached the plate, so Yu Ruo stretched out a hand in the plate, grabbed a handful of vegetables, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Ahh
Tang Yi looked at the dishes on the plate with a disgusted expression, and instantly lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks, poured a cup of tea, and asked slowly, "How did you two meet?" Yu Ruo talked about their acquaintance with Xiao Ze while eating.
"Oh, you all met because of a misunderstanding." After Tang Yi finished speaking, he looked at Yu Ruo and asked, "What about that Mu Yu?" After Yu Ruo swallowed the food in his mouth, he said, "I'm here too, at Xiao Ze's house." ”
"Poof"
Tang Yi just squirted out the water he drank in his mouth, and asked with wide eyes and surprise: "This is all spirit runes, how did he get in?" Yu Ruo pointed at Xiao Ze with an oil-stained finger.
Tang Yi had an epiphany, Xiao Ze's mana was strong, and he could naturally think of a way.
Tang Yi was a little confused at this time, he had studied spells hard since he was a child, and he thought that his mana was the best among his peers. But Xiao Ze and Jiong Yan were able to shuttle freely in the spirit runes they had drawn, which was also too devastating, and their self-confidence was deeply frustrated, and they muttered to themselves: "Alas! It seems that he still needs to strengthen his mana. As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of vegetables and stuffed them in his mouth.
Xiao Ze was stunned by Tang Yi's action of grabbing vegetables with his hands.
Yu Ruo can still understand the vegetables with his hands, but Tang Yi suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the vegetables, what is this for?
Xiao Ze gestured to Tang Yi, and when Tang Yi saw that his hands were full of oil, he immediately reacted.
"Whew" rushed to the door of the inn, bent over, and opened his mouth wide to vomit "wow, wow, wow".
Xiao Ze couldn't help but "hahaha......" patted his legs and laughed.
