Chapter 107: Snake City
Before she could turn (θΊ«shΔn), he stood behind her (θΊ«shΔn).
"Hey!" He suddenly spoke, and Jiu Ruosong jumped up in fright by him.
"What are you doing!" When she came to her senses, she chased him and beat him.
When she chased to the gate of the village, she stopped, "Don't make trouble, did you tell the village chief so quickly?" β
He stopped in front of him and turned around, "The village chief is not here, I spoke to the village chief's wife." β
"Wouldn't it be nice for us to go like this?"
"No, let's go."
The two walked quickly, and it was not long before they left the village and entered the woods.
"Do you know where the next place is?" Jun Qimo slowed down and walked beside her.
"I don't know." β
"The villagers say that the prefect of the city is very lustful, so let's take care of this?"
Jiu Ruosong raised his eyebrows, "This is a chivalrous journey, you don't care?" β
He smiled, she was really beautiful like this.
The two of them were soon at the edge of the city.
They put away their swords, "Snake City? β
"Could it be that there are a lot of snakes here?" Jiu Ruosong asked.
"No, I didn't see the place of Snake City on the map when I looked at the map before."
Jun Qimo said and conjured up a map of the parchment scroll.
"Look here, we came out of Shu Village just now, this is the closest city to Shu Village, then this should be Shu City." Jiu Ruosong glanced at the city not far away.
It is indeed the Snake City.
"Let's go check it out first." Jun Qimo put away the map and walked ahead.
When I entered the city, it seemed to be no different from other counties, and they were all normal.
"It's getting late, why don't we find a place to stay first?" Jiu Ruosong looked at the sky and suggested.
So, they settled down at a nearby inn.
After leaving his things in his room, he went to the next door and knocked on the door.
Jun Qimo was changing clothes, and someone knocked on the door at this moment, and while hurriedly dressing, he asked, "Who?" β
Wine Ruosong, "I." β
It was a long time before he came and opened the door.
Seeing that he had changed his clothes, I guessed that he must have been changing his clothes just now, and I was glad that I didn't go in as recklessly as last time, and I saw something I shouldn't have seen.
"Is there anything going on?" He himself discovered that many times he stuttered in the face of her.
Jiu Ruosong looked at him, "Can I go in?" β
Only then did he realize that he should have let her in as soon as possible, and get out of the way, "Please." β
"You can sit down casually, and I'll make a pot of tea." He picked up the teapot on the table.
She looked at his busy back and said, "You don't see that almost everyone in the city has a bag on it. β
"What's so strange about this, don't you have a money bag with you too?"
Jiu Ruosong felt strange, "Such a big money bag? Is this Snake City rich? β
Jun Qimo then remembered, he came over with a teapot and gently placed the teapot on the table, "It seems to be so." β
"Have you done it?" She looked at the teapot in his hand.
Jun Qimo, "Okay." β
Poured her a glass.
Jiu Ruosong, "I mean, have you done anything here, let's go outside and inquire." β
It's stupid.
He reacted, "Oh, okay, okay, let's go." β
On the street, they looked at them like monsters, and they were far away from them.
Jiu Ruosong whispered, "What's wrong with them?" β
Jun Qimo took her hand, "These people are a little weird, let's go to the front of the facial paralysis and eat a bowl of noodles by the way, and inquire about what is going on here." β
"Boss, two bowls of noodles." Wine is like a song.
"Okay, two guest officers, please wait a moment."
It just so happened that there was a table of guests sitting next to them, and they were all carrying baggage, and they should also be people who had just arrived here.
"Brother, did you just come here?" I didn't expect them to talk to them first.
Jun Qimo, "Yes, what, are you too?" β
"Yes! I heard that this snake city, there are all kinds of strange snakes, and some time ago, the prefect also built a big cage in his mansion to collect those strange snakes, and we are also here to open our eyes. The man said.
There was no sign of lying on his face, but they were still suspicious.
"Then do you know what kind of person this prefect is?" β
"We don't know about this, after all, we just arrived in Snake City." Man.
"Here you go!" The noodle boss walked over and placed two bowls of noodles on their table.
"You two are also from out of town, aren't you?" This boss looks different from everyone else, he doesn't seem to be afraid of them or avoiding them, and he still comes up and takes the initiative to talk to them?
"yes." Wine is like a song.
The noodle boss looked around and whispered, "I advise the two of you to leave quickly, this snake city is not peaceful." β
The two glanced at each other, and Jun Qimo was puzzled, "Why is it not peaceful?" β
"Boss, let's have a bowl of noodles!" There are customers again, this small stall, I can't imagine that the business is so good.
Noodle boss, "I'm here for business, the two of you will eat first." β
They noticed the people at the table next to them, and they didn't seem to care about the strange looks that others looked at them.
This is also strange, if it is the first time to come here, they should not be so calm in the face of such eyes.
"Brother, this isn't the first time you've been here, has it?" Jun Qimo asked.
The man at the next table said, "yes, you can see that?" β
Jiu Ruosong smiled, "My brother is a fortune teller, and he knows some things if you don't say it." β
They looked at each other at the table, and there were five or six people at the table, and now they looked at each other at the same time.
"Then tell me, what are our lives?" They all secretly touched the sharp weapons, and they all found them.
Jun Qimo smiled, "You guys misunderstood, what kind of fate will it be in the future, it's just that ordinary people can say something that is common?" β
Then they removed their hands from their sharp weapons.
Jiu Ruosong breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously. β
"Small
Girl, this person is floating in the rivers and lakes, how can he not be stabbed, you say yes, this is sometimes, it is a disaster from the mouth, what about you, it is better to pay more attention. They ate the last bite of noodles one after another.
"Boss, the money is on the table, you remember to take it!" With that, they got up (θΊ«shΔn) and took their things and left.
Jun Qimo put down his chopsticks, took out a small piece of silver from his waist, and nodded to her, "Let's go." β
Jiu Ruosong followed him, and they cautiously followed them along the way, and the group was very suspicious.
After following them for several streets, they actually came to the prefect's mansion.
Watch them walk in.
"This group of people is not simple." Jiu Ruosong said in a low voice.
"I can see it too." He turned (θΊ«shΔn) and left.
Jiu Ruosong looked at him puzzled, "Why are you going?" β
He looked back, "It's getting dark now, we should go back." β
Although I don't want to go back without doing anything, I have to recognize the reality, this prefect has a big problem, and it is inconvenient for them to act rashly.
Back at the inn, he pinned a bag around her waist as well.
Jiu Ruosong subconsciously slapped the bag, and before he could stop her, she slapped it down.
Suddenly, the touch from her hand frightened her to tear the bag off and throw it out the door.
happened to run into the shopkeeper passing by, and she almost hit him.
Jun Qimo quickly ran out to pick it up and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." β
The shopkeeper was obviously also frightened, and patted his heart in shock, "It's okay, it's okay." β
He saw the bags on their waists and looked at him differently, "Guest officer, who are you?" β
"It's okay, it's okay." He closed the door.
Jiu Ruosong looked at him unremembered, "What are you doing?" What do you do when you're closed? β
"Be quiet." He walked over and placed the bag on the table.
Jiu Ruosong suddenly remembered the touch just now, and instantly got goosebumps.
"What the hell are you in here?" She asked.
Jun Qimo looked at her seriously, "Snake." β
Jiu Ruosong felt his hairs stand on end, and looked at the bag slowly moving on the table, and shuddered, "What are you doing with this thing for me?" β
"I just noticed that this inn is not dedicated to Guan Gong but to Nuwa, plus no one carries such a big bag, except for the snake inside, I really can't think of anything else to contain." Jun Qimo.
"Then even if they worship Nuwa Niangniang, there is no need to hang the snake on the (body shΔn) all day, how mad it is, what an old man, women and children?" She's scared, don't talk about them.
He didn't speak, lost in thought.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, she asked curiously.
Jun Qimo, "I was thinking just now, how did this Shu City become a snake city, there are so many snakes in the city, we haven't heard them mention it when we were in Shu Village, why is this?" β
She thought about it, it is indeed the case, this Shu City is very weird.
"Why don't we go and ask Nuwa Niangniang?" Wine
Song proposed.
Jun Qimo shook his head, "It's getting late now, you see." β
He opened the window, and the street downstairs was very bustling, and the lights were colorful, as if he was celebrating some festival.
"What is this?" She looked at him quizzically.
Jun Qimo, "Look carefully." β
Jiu Ruosong looked outside carefully again, and covered his mouth in surprise, "They eat snakes raw?!" β
He nodded, "They offer Nuwa, but they eat snakes, or eat them raw, such disrespectful behavior is really contradictory to their behavior in Bai (ζ₯rΓ¬)." β
"So what the hell is going on?" She became more and more curious, she had never seen anything like this before, let alone heard of it.
"Looks like we're going to have to go to the prefect tomorrow." Jun Qimo.
After Jiu Ruosong returned to the room, he looked at the small sack on the table, and felt that his scalp was numb when he thought that there was a snake in it, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight.
It was still noisy outside, and she went to the window, looked outside, and was shocked by what was happening outside.
Countless ghosts were brightly dressed, and they all had snakes wrapped around their necks, and those snakes were spirits, not living snakes.
This is too weird, and look at the people who have been partying for most of the night, don't they need to rest? Are they just in time for the festival (ζ₯rΓ¬) they have here or are they like this every night?
Suddenly, one of the ghosts in the group raised her eyes to meet her, and Jiu Ruosong was so frightened that she immediately closed the window and gasped.
It's terrifying, his eyes are like snakes, and they can be changed, it's terrifying.
She went back to the bed and thought, it's not a big deal, those people outside are not afraid, what is she afraid of.
But the more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, and the eye she had just met lingered in her mind.
I really couldn't sleep, I don't know how long it took, I felt quiet outside, she went to the window to look again, there was no one outside, it was too strange.
She is not afraid of ghosts, after all, she has seen a lot of them during her time in the underworld, and her psychological quality has improved a lot, but the look in her eyes just now really scared her, and when she thinks about it, she feels uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Now quiet, she lay on the bed chuΓ‘ng and fell asleep in a daze.
Jun Qimo didn't sleep all night, and observed the movement outside by the window all night.
