Chapter 8: Dancing Jumpsuits
Gu Zi applied the medicine for Lu Caiyun for the burn, came to the counter, and while the Changsheng who was cleaning up the bench was buried in his work, the proprietress was crackling with an abacus, and seeing that Gu Zi seemed to have something to say, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
"What's the matter, little boy?"
"I want to talk to you about someone"
"What people"
"There is a woman named Dance Dress in this Water Cloud City"
The proprietress lowered her head and smiled, "There are tens of thousands of people in this Shuiyun City, and there are countless people with the surname Wu, what more accurate information does the little boy have? This name is too broad, like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is difficult to find."
Gu Zi took out a portrait, which he had copied from the parchment roll last night, although it was not said to be subtle everywhere, but there were seven or eight points similar to the one on the parchment roll, and the proprietress looked distressed, and Gu Zi put down a silver ingot on the counter.
"The face on this portrait is very raw, but it's not impossible to find, with my many years of foundation in Shuiyun City, I have a way to help you find it, but it will take some time, the little boy needs to be patient", the proprietress put the silver on the counter into her pocket.
"How long?"
"Three days at the least, a month at the most"
Yun'er doesn't have much time left, and it has taken five days to stay in the past few days, so I'm afraid it's a little difficult to stay up for another month, Gu Zi thinks about it, then he can't be idle.
"Deal"
Gu Zi turned around and went out, only raised his head when he was alive, saw him walking away, walked slowly to the counter, and stopped talking, the proprietress saw it, picked up a fan on the side and knocked him on the head, "Don't go to work soon!"
Changsheng shrank his head back and ran back to the backyard, the proprietress "cut", picked up the abacus in her hand and crackled.
Gu Zi walked aimlessly on the street, with the noise of cars and horses, sweeping away the cold silence of the early morning.
"Get out, if you don't get out, I'll save you and throw you to Vulture Spirit Mountain to feed the monsters"
Several tall guards threw a little girl to the ground, led by a thinner man wearing a felt hat and a beard, and the girl crawled to the feet of the bearded man and begged, "Please, I don't have a home anymore, please let me have a place to live."
The plaque on the gate behind the bearded man reads: Juyizhuang.
There were more and more onlookers around, and the bearded man kicked the girl away, "Get out, don't pass on the bad luck to us"
There was an old man in the crowd who couldn't look down on him and said, "I said Chen Dayi, I remember that your Juyi Village was opened by the city lord and used to take in homeless orphaned children and the elderly, when did it become your family?
The people chimed in, "yes, it's too much"
Chen Dayi was the bearded man with eight characters, seeing that the people were complaining, he stood on the steps of Juyizhuang and said confidently: "She is a person who has been targeted by monsters and has not been eaten, everyone has been doing so many years, don't you still understand how much disaster she has?
Hearing that the people were dumbfounded, the old man also lowered his head, as if there was something unspeakable, the girl was only about eleven years old, dressed in patched, washed white tattered clothes, tears mixed with the dirt on her face, unkempt, the sleeve of her right hand was scratched off, revealing five neat scars scratched by wild beasts, blood and water coagulated, pustules, obviously not treated well wounds caused inflammation.
Gu Zi suddenly remembered the person who was far away in the inn in the south of the city, if he was gone, he was afraid that he would end up worse than the girl in front of him.
In no one stopped her, the girl was carried away by two big men, the girl did not make a sound, calmly faced the end of death, Gu Zi took steps to follow.
Outside the city, the sunset red glow flies in the western mountains, the dead trees are scattered with the shadow of vultures and crows, the dense vultures are restless, waiting for the two big men in front of them to put down their food, the girl is thrown to the ground, the two big men walk straight back to the city, the vulture group saw this and quickly took off, fell beside the girl, circled around her, a crow in the woods rose with the movement of the ground, and the black shadows took off from the black smoke everywhere, covering the sky, but they did not go to the girl, but fled in another direction, the vulture group staring at the girl was unwilling to turn around her a few times, the girl was frightened, and hurriedly picked up a dead branch to make a defensive shape, I saw that the vultures also left in the direction of the crows.
Gu Zi in the corner grabbed the Xuantie sword at his waist, he knew that this was a land demon entering the world from the underworld. The surroundings were quiet, and the girl who was out of danger had not yet reacted to what was happening, sitting on the ground and looking around, but she did not know that she had already fallen into greater danger, and there was a thin sound in the woods, and if you listened carefully, it was a brass bell. The sound became louder and louder, a figure came out of the woods, Gu Zi pinched the sword and was ready to go, but only to see that the person who came was not a ferocious and vicious appearance, but a round-faced female baby, looking about fourteen years old, the two eyes were big and round, very smart, combing two purses and round sideburns, the end of the winding hairband was tied with a small copper bell, an emerald green coat embroidered with bamboo leaves, a silver ling on the wrist, a fleshy little hand holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the bell on the body made a crisp sound as it moved.
"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
The girl in green leaned down and asked, the long eyelashes on her fleshy little face fluttered, very cute, the girl let down her guard, "My foot is twisted"
"Can you get up then?" asked the girl in green.
The girl shook her head.
"Do you have a family?"
The girl shook her head.
"Do you have a home?" asked the girl in green again.
The girl shook her head,
"Then why don't I give you a home to live in," Midorichi continued, a serious look written on her round face.
"You, are you sure?" the girl sat on the ground and looked at the very lovely person in front of her
The girl in green's big, round eyes smiled like a bright moon, "Of course! Come and live in my belly, I'm really hungry."
The girl in green said with a simple face, and in the next second, a pair of fangs stretched out, and her lovely face instantly distorted, biting the girl on the ground, but it was not as the girl in green thought that she ate the smooth tender meat, she gnawed on a dark iron sword, she broke a fang, and she covered her face and wailed, "My teeth!"
The girl in green glared at Gu Zi with red eyes, and she was furious.
"You pay for my teeth!"
A ghostly green shadow attacked, Gu Zi lifted the Xuantie sword to take the move, the handle of the oil-paper umbrella was pulled out by her, showing a sharp blade, taking advantage of the two people in front of her to fight, the girl on the ground crawled and hid by the trunk of the dead tree on the side.
The moves of the two are densely intertwined, and in the eyes of the girl, it is like a peerless master's move, in Gu Zi's opinion, this girl is strong, he is about to be unable to hold on, and the first time he is nosy, he will die here, but he knew this, he still will not stand idly by, Gu Zi has to mobilize the power in the dantian, this unknown force is too powerful, I don't know if it is good or bad, before he can fully control it, Gu Zi is unwilling to use it more, but this time, it is really a last resort.
The girl in green was bounced away by a powerful force, and she knew that the man in front of her was clumsy, "Hmph! The little human is quite cunning, but no matter how much you pretend, you two have to fill my stomach!"
The girl in green attacked again, a long tail appeared behind her, swept around, and the girl who didn't have time to dodge was about to be injured, Guzi rolled over, picked her up, jumped over the green tail, and landed firmly on the ground.
A certain door in Gu Zi's heart seemed to be loosened, a stream of heat wrapped his heart, getting hotter and hotter, gradually turning into anger, and the power in his body began to be restless, flowing in the meridians around his body, Gu Zi's green tendons burst out, and the Xuantie Sword was then wrapped in a layer of Xuanqi, he couldn't think of any moves in his heart, he just wanted to raise the sword and slaughter the heinous snake demon in front of him, the Xuantie Sword was raised by the high ground, pointing directly at the sky, and the Xuantie Sword showed a huge phantom under the strong Xuanqi, and he was murderous.
"Pothos, Hugh hurts my people!"
A beautiful female voice sounded, and a purple figure floated in, and before Gu Zi could make a move, she was caught off guard and knocked down the girl in green with a palm, and the corner of the pothos mouth overflowed with blood, glaring at the woman in front of her viciously.
"Dance jumpsuit, you dare to spoil my good deeds!"
Gu Zi's bloodshot eyes suddenly cleared, stopped the movement in his hand and stopped making a move, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided. The woman in front of her, dressed in purple clothes, her black hair is as long as a waterfall slowly fluttering with the breeze, there is a long whip hanging on her slender waist, her ten fingers are coated with dankou, her skin is better than snow, and the looming tulle hangs on her face, but she can't stop a pair of bright eyes, as if there are vast stars. The eyes are full of autumn waves, the eyebrows are affectionate, tactful and beautiful, and the secret charm is charming, probably such an unforgettable pair of eyes.
The woman in purple spoke, "Luluo, you brutalized my people in Shuiyun, today I will do the right thing for heaven and kill you!"
A hint of banter appeared at the corner of the pothos's mouth, as if mocking and contemptuous, and sneered, "You deserve to say this, don't forget what you are!"
"I remember that I am a demon slasher with water clouds! I have the responsibility of punishing evil and promoting good, and guarding the people."
The woman in purple made a strange seal and attacked the pothos, but the pothos didn't have time to dodge, and after receiving this blow, she spat blood from her mouth, turning into a green snake on the ground and convincing and twisting, and after a while, there was no movement.
The woman in purple said goodbye to Gu Zi, "You two are fine, then I will rest assured, farewell!"
"Wait a minute" Gu Zi spoke, and the woman in purple turned around, "Dare to ask the girl's name?"
The woman in purple was silent for a while, then lightly opened her lips, "Qianxuan, Wanwu Pavilion", and after speaking, she waved her sleeves and walked away.
"Qianxuan" Gu Zi muttered, the snake demon on the ground just now clearly called her to dance in a dress, although she covered half of her face, but her charm was very similar to that on the parchment roll, and he would never admit his mistake.
