When is the time for retribution?
Before breaking into the dead forest, because he had been worried about the safety of the mandarin ducks, Chu Huai couldn't take a good look at the street scene around Yushenzhai.
It wasn't until now, when I followed Shushan out of the dead woods, that I could see that this was a village that was still lively at night.
It's just that the place where Shu Shan took the two of them into was not far from the dead woods, so Chu Huai couldn't walk or take a look at the whole street, which made him feel a little sad.
However, after walking a few steps, he realized that the inn they had stayed in yesterday was actually behind Shushan's mansion, and this mansion was not like the surrounding stilted buildings, it was built on the ground, and it seemed that he could taste a kind of Central Plains characteristics from the architectural style here.
Guarding the door are two stone lions, with a polished jade bead in their mouths, which looks very majestic.
As soon as Shu Shan entered the door, a few elderly men greeted him, all of them were wearing cumbersome ornaments, wearing tall hats similar to Shu Shan but slightly shorter, the fabric of the clothes looked gorgeous, and their status would not be low.
"Owner of the village, you can count it back, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
"What are you carrying?"
"Lord, is this a traitor? Leave it to the old man to deal with. ”
"Who are these two behind you, master?"
As soon as they saw Shushan, they began to talk non-stop, and their expressions were like old fathers who were anxious to wait for their children to return at home, in awe but not at ease.
Shu Shan picked up the shopkeeper and handed it to a man in a green coat. "Take him down and lock him up, he tried to hurt Xiaosheng's distinguished guest, and Xiaosheng will deal with him in the future."
The man in green took the shopkeeper who was tied into a "zongzi" in Shu Shan's hand, but he was unexpectedly carried down by his weight, this person is so heavy, how can the owner of the village lift it so easily?
"The owner of the village, it is a capital crime for him to hurt your distinguished guest, why don't we just use him as a living sacrifice this year?" The man in black beside him suggested.
The shopkeeper's heart trembled when he heard this, but in the hands of the owner of the village, he still had to be treated as a living sacrifice, it was over, it was completely finished, and he couldn't go back to the South China Sea again.
"The elders don't have to worry about this, they can decide after their birthday." Shu Shan put the staff in the hands of the man in black, then turned to the man in white on the other side and said, "Elder Bai, could you please arrange a residence in the mansion for the two distinguished guests of Xiaosheng so that they can stay for a while?" ”
"Nature." The tone of the man in white sounded a little strange to the mandarin duck, and it could even be described as yin and yang, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, which made her feel not so comfortable, plus there was a Shushan beside her who had always scared her, at this moment, she just wanted to get out of here quickly.
"You two, please come here." The man in white leaned a little and walked to the second floor of the small building in front of him.
The mandarin duck hesitated for a moment before choosing to follow.
"By the way, Elder Bai, let's go and prepare some food for them, it's better to be lighter."
"Yes."
It wasn't until the three of them walked away that the man in green also dragged the shopkeeper to the firewood room.
Only the man in black and Shu Shan were still standing in place, and after a while, the man in black slowly spoke: "Village master, do you want to go to the refining room to have a look?" ”
"Still doesn't work?"
"It's always the same as before you left."
"Ugh." Shu Shan sighed, "Obviously, all the steps are the same as what Master said, but what is the problem?" ”
"The owner of the village, according to the old man, I saw it, and sure enough, it was still a matter of living sacrifice, only this, we haven't considered replacing it yet."
"This is not a matter of living sacrifices, and if anyone mentions the use of living people as sacrifices in the future, even if it is an elder, I will not spare it." After speaking, Shu Shan brushed his sleeves in the direction of the refining room.
"Stubborn, stubborn, the owner of the village, you always have mercy for the people of the world, and the god village will die sooner or later!" The black-clothed elder shook his head helplessly, smacked his lips, and then took Shushan's staff and hurriedly followed.
In the small building on the other side, Elder Bai opened the door of a room, made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, and said slowly: "Two, let's stay here for one night tonight, and then clean up two clean guest rooms for you two early tomorrow morning." ”
"The two of us, living in such a room?" Chu Huai pointed to the only bed in the room, a little incredulous.
"I'm so sorry, it's late at night, and there's only such a clean room left in the house." Elder Bai bowed out of the room and gently closed the door for the two of them, "Then the old man will go and prepare some food for the two of you to cushion your hunger now, and ask the two of you to have a good rest here." ”
After Elder Bai finished speaking, only Chu Huai and Mandarin Duck were left to look at each other, and in the end, it was Chu Huai who opened his mouth first: "That, Mandarin Duck, you can sleep here at night, I'll go to the roof." ”
"But Master, the roof is cold."
"It's okay, I'm a martial arts practitioner, this cold still can't help me, you can eat something later and have a good rest."
"Master......" The mandarin duck wanted to say something more, but Chu Huai had already snatched the door out, and the moment the door was closed, she watched Chu Huai jump onto the roof, so she had to retract what she had to continue to say.
She sat on the edge of the bed, Chu Huai's medicine could only soothe her for a short time, and now that the effect of the medicine had almost passed, her stomach began to ache faintly again. She rubbed her belly, but it didn't get any relief.
Soon, the knock on the door came into the ears of the mandarin duck: "Two, can the old man come in?" ”
The mandarin duck hurriedly got out of bed and went to open the door, only to see Elder Bai holding two bowls of white noodles, standing outside the door, she took the two bowls of noodles from Elder Bai's hands and put them on the table beside her.
"Why are you alone, girl? What about the son? ”
"Master is on the roof."
"Oh, Childe is really a decent man." Elder Bai stood in the room with his hands behind his back and curled the corners of his mouth.
And this kind of smile was particularly terrifying in the eyes of the mandarin duck, the nails of her hands were tightly clasped on the door panel, and she tried to squeeze out a smile towards Elder Bai, "Elder Bai, it's not too early, you should rest early, I should rest too." ”
After speaking, the mandarin duck closed the door with a "bump", sat down against the door, and stroked his constantly undulating chest. How the people here are more terrifying than the other.
It wasn't until she finally calmed down her beating heart that she reopened the door, and Elder Bai was no longer outside the door, so she picked up one of the bowls of noodles with confidence, walked out, and shouted to the roof, "Master, come down and eat something." ”
The mandarin duck could only hear the sound of a breaking wind, but before she could see the figure clearly, the weight in her hand lightened in an instant, and the bowl of noodles was no longer in her hand.
"Master......"
"I'm just on top, it's cooler on the roof than below."
"That'...... Master rest early. The mandarin duck returned to the house, picked up his bowl of noodles, and blew it.
What's not cool down there......
