Plain elegance 19
The little python watched him quietly for a moment, and then began to move towards him, very slowly, as if it was afraid of alarming him, and moved slowly little by little.
Chu Lifeng didn't move, just stared at it so straight, from the windowsill to the table, and then around a pile of chicken bones, the purple python coiled all the way to his arm, the cold touch was slippery and sticky, this feeling made Chu Lifeng subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"You, know me?"
The little python seemed to understand his words, and suddenly approached him, spitting out the snake letter and licking his side face, which turned out to be a lot of affection.
Chu Lifeng suddenly felt a churn in his stomach, but he couldn't bear it and didn't vomit.
I don't know when, many villagers have gathered outside the window, they are all local native Miao people, there are men and women, old and young, all with an incredible gaze at the people and pythons in the house.
In their eyes, whether it is a human or a python, it is a very strange existence, and such a combination is even more weird.
Chu Lifeng couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could feel their curiosity and slight fear of him, and out of a sense of self-preservation, he silently retreated to the back room.
There was an old lady sitting on the kang in the back room, squinting her eyes and mending clothes, looking at her old appearance, she was estimated to be a hundred years old.
It is said that her ears are not very bright, she lives in this farmhouse alone, rarely interacts with other villagers, Chu Yang and the fat monk lived here half a month ago, the old lady not only does not want their money, but also provides them with food and drink every day, as if she is a living Bodhisattva.
Chu Lifeng's appearance did not attract her attention, she still sewed as if no one was around, occasionally rubbing her eyes.
It wasn't until a piece of clothing was sewn that she looked up and saw the young man in front of her, and smiled: "You're also here to explore?"
Chu Lifeng shook his head, he didn't know why he was here.
"Your costume is strange!" said the old lady again, her voice slow and hoarse.
Chu Lifeng looked down at himself, he really felt that this dress was very awkward, but he couldn't take it off, after all, there was only a thin one.
The old lady smiled kindly, and handed him the clothes she had just sewn, "Put them on! This is my son's clothes from decades ago, and you will be warmer with them." ”
Chu Lifeng didn't answer, and asked two words: "Miao Fu?"
The old lady shook her head: "No, it's the costume of the Central Plains, you can wear it and see if it fits!"
Chu Lifeng hesitated for a while, then took it and draped it directly on his body.
This is a navy blue power suit, the neckline is embroidered with red and black shading, and the edge of the belt is plated with gold silk.
The old lady saw him skillfully put on his sleeves and fasten his belt, and nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, there is a bit of a young man's style, it is this hair ......"
Speaking of hair, Chu Lifeng realized something, walked to the mirror, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he looked at the short black hair that was both inexplicable and outrageous.
Although he had forgotten who he was, he subconsciously knew exactly what he was supposed to be.
Just when he was entangled, Chu Yang and the fat monk walked in one after another, and when they saw him dressed as a young man, they couldn't help but stare at him.
The fat monk slapped his palm: "Oh! The little brother's dress is really much more pleasing to the eye!"
Chu Yang glanced at him: "How handsome was you before? Didn't you see the rate of turning around when you entered the village?"
The two of them had been mixing for a long time, and the fat monk was already able to understand his nonsense, and immediately started scolding: "You are so big! You want to kill him if you are so eye-catching...... It's so unconscionable!"
Chu Yang thought for a while and sighed: "Yes, yes, now we are still in this empty dynasty, my brother looks so much like the prince of the previous dynasty, in case he is caught......"
As he spoke, Chu Yang thought of an idea: "That's right! Mask! My brother has to wear a mask!
As soon as the words fell, a dry hand immediately stretched out, holding a silver mask in his hand, as if it had been specially prepared for Chu Lifeng.
Chu Yang and Jiese looked back at the smiling old lady in a daze, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Chu Lifeng was not polite, so he took it and just played with it as a toy.
Chu Yang felt that something was wrong, and asked the old lady, "Grandma, what do you hear us talking about?"
The old lady smiled and waved her hand, said nothing, walked straight back to the kang, and continued to sew and mend clothes.
Chu Yang turned around and asked Chu Lifeng, "Brother, where did you get this dress?"
Chu Lifeng looked at him, blinked his eyes, and just wanted to speak, but a sharp baby voice suddenly came from his ear: "Don't say it!"
Suddenly startled, Chu Lifeng closed his mouth again, and the corner of his eye glanced at the old lady on the kang, only to see that she was buried in needlework, and she didn't look here at all.
Chu Yang saw that his expression was complicated, and asked again: "Brother, this is Miao Village, where did you get this dress from?"
Chu Lifeng shook his head, keeping his mouth closed and not making a sound.
"No, you shake your head, do you mean it? This is on you...... Sensei, tell me that you are like Sun Monkey, and you will change thirty-two times!"
Chu Lifeng still shook his head, his gaze avoided him, and continued to play with the mask in his hand.
The fat man kindly reminded: "What, lazy sheep, it's seventy-two changes!"
"Let's play at the same time!" Chu Yang was about to go crazy, picked up Chu Lifeng's shirt and roared, "Can you stop learning from my master......?
Chu Lifeng was very aggrieved, pushed him away, and ran out in a huff.
The fat man looked at his departing back, hehe Zhile: "Yo! It's quite individual! The fat man likes it!"
Chu Yang roared angrily: "Mao's personality, this is ignorant! Hmph! You have a kind! Don't come back!"
The fat face of the quit sank: "This ...... Isn't that right? Little brother, he doesn't know the place well, in case he runs away......"
Before the words fell, Chu Yang rushed out like a gust of wind.
The fat man followed with a chirp, and no one noticed that a wisp of purple smoke floated out of the old lady's heavenly spirit cover, and gradually conjured up a small purple python, and chased away in the direction where the three of them left.
Chu Yang and the fat man ran very fast, but they still couldn't catch up with Chu Lifeng, and they couldn't help but stomp their feet in a hurry.
"Lazy sheep, didn't I say you, for a piece of clothing?"
"It's not as simple as a piece of clothing! Don't you think there's something wrong with that old woman? She doesn't walk like she's over a hundred years old, and she hears us! Aren't you a Buddhist disciple?
The fat man shook his head helplessly: "How many times have I told you, I will only summon spirits, not collect demons!"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes angrily: "Forget it! Let's look for it separately! We must find my brother back before dark!"
"Okay!"
The two hit it off and immediately scattered and ran.
Chu Lifeng ran all the way to a jungle outside the village, and as soon as he took a breath, he saw a small purple python coiled around his arm, and he couldn't shake it off.
In the end, he resigned himself to his fate, sat under a big tree, stared at those dark purple eyes with cold eyes, and confronted him for a long time with a stick of incense, and finally lost the battle, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Suddenly, two subtle voices came from the wind in his ears, and Chu Lifeng was surprised by his bizarre pair of tailwind ears on the one hand, and suspected that it was an auditory hallucination on the other hand.
Until he calmed down, the two voices became clearer and clearer, still a man and a woman.
The woman said, "What did you say, the divine sword is in Tang Tianzheng's hands?"
The man replied: "It was originally hidden in the East Palace of Prince Mo Xuan, but this night the Qu Kingdom died, and everything good was occupied by this ghost king, and it is not surprising that the divine sword is in his hands!"
"Then what are we waiting for? go to Yindu now to grab the Divine Sword!"
"Hey, senior sister, don't do it! Our Huashan faction is a martial arts decent, and we must not go to the sword in a grand manner!"
"That's what Senior Brother means......"
"Heh, since we can guess the whereabouts of the Divine Sword, then the entire martial arts plan has spread all over the world! The Cult of Exterminating Feelings, the Flower Sect, the Immortal Sect, and the Blue Lotus Sect, these leading evil sects in the rivers and lakes will definitely take the lead! Let's just wait and see what happens!"
"What Senior Brother said is extremely true, but I heard that the relationship between Changshengmen and Tang Tianzheng is very close, and I think it can be excluded!"
"That's different, sometimes the most trustworthy friend will stab you in the back!"
The woman stopped talking, and when it was quiet, Chu Lifeng suddenly woke up, and when he listened attentively, he couldn't hear anything.
The little purple python fell asleep on his shoulder at some point, and the wind in the wild was very cold, even though he had added one to his short sleeve, he still felt a chill.
A shiny broadsword suddenly landed on his neck, and Chu Lifeng realized where Fang Cai's chill came from.
Staring at the knife, his gaze slowly moved along the blade to the knife wielder, a woman in her early twenties, ordinary in appearance but with a heroic woman's spirit, staring at him coldly.
Next to him was a tall man, with a decent face, standing in his mid-thirties, but he looked at him with a smile that seemed not to be smiling, his hands behind his back, and he did not show any weapons.
"Who are you?" the woman asked coldly.
Chu Lifeng slowly stood up, and replied with three words with an expressionless face: "Chu Lifeng." ”
"Which sect?"
He needs to think about the question of "......".
"The old lady asks you!"
The woman stepped forward, the knife in her hand had cut through the white skin on his neck, and the fishy smell of blood suddenly stimulated the little python, and opened its eyes in a daze, it looked at the situation in front of it in a daze, and saw that the owner was injured, and its purple eyes suddenly widened.
The woman didn't expect that the coiled on his shoulder was actually a live python, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and saw the little python spitting snake letters towards her, and she retreated directly behind the man.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man hurriedly smiled and played a round: "Little brother, there is a misunderstanding, don't be surprised!"
Chu Lifeng dragged the little python's head back to his shoulder, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
The woman wanted to rush up to ask what was going on, but was grabbed by the man.
"That little python is very poisonous, don't know what to do!"
"I know. But don't you think this man is strange, brother, his hair is ......."
"Well, it's a little shorter. ”
"It's not a little short. ”
The two looked at each other, and then looked in the direction where Chu Lifeng left, but saw the little python turning around and spitting snake letters, looking extremely angry.
Immediately after, a miracle appeared, and the two of them watched the little python blow on Chu Li's head.
In an instant, the short hair grew wildly, reaching below the shoulders, and the white jade crown that appeared out of thin air tied up the black hair high, and the breeze blew, and the green silk flew away, as clear as a fairy.
The two of them were dumbfounded, and finally rubbed their eyes in disbelief, watching the long figure disappear from view.
Chu Lifeng returned to the village, it was almost dark, looking at the farmhouses, he couldn't tell which house he ran from, so he could only stand there and look around.
As if he understood something, the little python suddenly slipped off his arm and crawled in one direction.
Chu Lifeng Ghost followed it by mistake, and sure enough, he returned to the original farmhouse, Chu Yang and the fat monk were not there, he sat alone in front of the window and continued to gnaw on the remaining chicken legs.
The little python stared at him on the other side, motionless.
Chu Lifeng was a little unable to swallow, and he didn't know if it was because of this sticky little python staring at him, or because of some other reason.
In short, he was sad for no reason, and in the end, tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he said two words: "Ya'er ......"
The little python had an unstable center of gravity, fell down from the table, and when it climbed up again, it saw that the master had burst into tears, it was stunned, its little purple head hung down, and its faint purple eyes also contained tears.
One person and one python crying against each other, the picture is too ......
Under the windowsill, Chu Yang and Jiese secretly watched this scene and marveled.
"I'm scared the hell. ”
"Fat man, I've never seen a crying python. ”
......
A few days later, the three of them said goodbye to the old folks in Miao Village and went to the next destination.
The fat monk was responsible for carrying the food, and Chu Yang was carrying two burdens, which were clothes and silver, and when he went out, all three were indispensable.
It was Chu Lifeng who was more relaxed, he was only responsible for controlling the little purple python on his shoulder, keeping it docile at any time, and not scaring passers-by.
In reality, however, almost no one dared to approach them wherever they went.
Half a day's journey, they had arrived at a small town, and sat in a tavern drinking wine and eating meat, so unhappy.
The fat man smiled while eating and said, "Hey, lazy sheep, what are you saying that this little python is following us?"
Chu Yang tasted the wine and said slowly: "What else can I do? Of course my brother is like this! It must be a mother!"
"Poof!" The fat man almost squirted out the wine, looked up at the little python, still obediently lying on Chu Lifeng's shoulder, and couldn't help but agree.
"Yes! It must be a mother!"
Chu Lifeng looked at the two people in front of him, feeling very bored, but he was quite happy with the wine on the table, and drank a pot in three or two sips.
Chu Yang wanted to pour it again, and it was already empty, so he hurriedly called Xiao Er: "Hurry up, hurry up, add a pot of wine to the master!"
After that, he glared at Chu Lifeng on the other side: "It's really easy to change the nature of the country and difficult to change! can't you save some money for your brother?"
Chu Lifeng was like a child who was reprimanded, and he had to bury his head down. "
