Nie Xiaosheng looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "This task is really bad, is there anything else?" ”

The black-spotted man pretended to look for it in the pile of papers, and said: "There is really no more, some of the remaining ones are expired orders, some are looking for medicinal materials with a high degree of rarity, and some are not near the Great Sheshu Country, only this one is the bottom of the pressure box, and the top is cleaned up and missed." ”

Youyule looked at the scroll and asked, "What's going on with this?" Isn't the above task tricky? ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "No, this scroll says to take a kind of thing to a place, this thing is not very auspicious." ”

Youyou asked, "What is it?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "Look down, isn't it written on this, corpse vine!" ”

Youyoule gasped, his teeth were cold, and he said, "It's not a good job. ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "Who said no, it said that I would go to the store to bring the corpse vine to the address above, I heard that this shop was opened by an old man, and this old man is very weird, it is difficult for normal people to deal with him." ”

The black-spotted man said: "This errand is not bad, and the buyer gives a lot of reward, although the old man is eccentric, all his family members are dead, who can stand it." ”

Nie Xiaosheng rolled up the bounty coupon and said, "Just go, this old man will be nothing after a while, he is also a person who buys things for the dead." ”

You Youle and Nie Xiaosheng left the guild and walked towards the jungle outside the settlement, asking as they walked, "What kind of person is that old man, and why do you all seem to be afraid of him?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "I haven't seen this old man either, but I heard that a lot of people died in his family, his father died early, he found a place to bury at home, there was a half-stupid big girl in the family, but the old man wanted a son to inherit his family business, and I don't know what's wrong, the old man picked up a child from outside, since the child entered the door of his house, his daughter is getting more and more stupid, and finally the old woman also died of illness." ”

Youyoule nodded and said, "It's really unlucky, is there something evil in his family?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng pointed to a dead forest in front of him and said, "There is a national tree that fell to the ground in front, and the old man's home is there." ”

Passing through the jungle, there is indeed a national tree in front of which is mostly withered and broken, the position of this book is not good, the front is the highland of the tuyere, the back is a low-lying pool, the yin is very heavy, the half of the tree exposed to the sun has cracked out of a gap, and the half immersed in the mire has withered and not looked good.

Nie Xiaosheng said: "This place is very suitable for raising corpse vines, the waterhole and the grave bag on the high ground are considered the property that God added to him, let's go to the old man's shop to have a look." ”

This withered tree is not small, but there are very few places to live in it, except for the cracks in the roots, and the canopy soaked in the pool, this tree can only live in the middle of the place, there is a room in the crack of this root, and the light shines through the cracks, which is the only place in the old man's house where there is light.

You Youle walked to the front of this door, the old man's door was set up very chic, it seemed that it took a lot of effort, but the door was still not very good, knocked on the door twice and opened it by itself, the door was black, and a damp and sour smell spread out from the house, and with a flutter, a black object churned up, turning into a red dot and falling on the shelf in the house.

Before you entered the door, you heard a mournful voice inside: "The family should also be neat!" ”

Youyoule was shocked all of a sudden, and said in his heart: Isn't there only an old man in this family, why is the family neatly organized? Could it be that his family is all in it?

With a cold back, You Youle said: I still don't want to go in!

Nie Xiaosheng pushed behind Youyoule and said in a low voice: "It's okay, this old man often talks crazy things, go in and take a look." ”

The room was very crowded, on the sunken bed in the corner, a clump of dirty bedding was piled up on the bed, which seemed to have never been washed, and the table was placed with unwashed dishes and chopsticks, and the most conspicuous thing was four jars, which contained four corpse vine heads, and the jars were sealed with beeswax.

Nie Xiaosheng took out the order, handed it to the old man and said, "Old wart, how long have you not cleaned up the house?" It's a mess! ”

The old man had a scab on his side face, and he did a lot of bad things when he was young, so no one respected him whether it was the people who lived nearby or the businessmen who came and went, everyone called him old wart head as if they laughed, Nie Xiaosheng once followed his father to see him outside, and saw his father call him old wart head, so Nie Xiaosheng called him so.

The old wart head snorted and said, "Yo, Lao Nie's son, why did you come here and didn't ship with your father?" ”

It has been more than ten years since Nie Xiaosheng followed his father to ship and buy goods outside, and now that his father has passed away, the old wart head is obviously joking with him, Nie Xiaosheng glared at him and said, "Okay, okay, I still have something to do, you hurry up and give me the goods written on the order." ”

The old wart looked twice, tore off the dashed part of the bill and kept it as a voucher to exchange the bounty at the guild, and turned to the inner room to prepare the goods.

There is no light in the house, only the faint light diffused from the room on the other side of the tree root, if it is not for the open door, You Youle really can't see that the thing that fluttered up just now is the crow that has been falling on the wooden frame, this crow is very peculiar, the whole body is black, only under the reflection of the light, you can see the smooth feathers with a trace of purple, this is black to the extreme, in order to achieve this black purple realm, but there is also a saying that it is the crow that eats the hair of the dead to grow such a black feather.

Youyoule approached the shelf, wanting to tease the crow, but the crow was very stunned, Youyoule stretched out his finger and poked it lightly, the crow did not fly or scream, and his body turned stiffly in a circle, facing the other side.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in Youyoule's mind, and the scene in front of him seemed to have been seen there, thinking for a while, and finally remembered that he seemed to have seen this bird when he was in the hotel, but it was raining outside the window at that time, and the lantern in his hand only flashed for a moment The black bird flew away, why Youyoule is very sure that it is this bird, because the crow's eyes are rarely red, and even fewer can be as red as this bird, and there is a grass on its head, a very strange grass, and the leaves of this grass look very tough, And the small flower in the middle is like an iron coil, and Youyule has never seen such a monotonous flower.

The old wart head came out of the inner room, threw the packed corpse vine seeds on the table, and when he saw the crow that Youyou was teasing him, he called out and said, "Black powder is here!" ”
