Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Sugar God
As soon as he heard Xiao Jiu'er say that there was such a magical thing as the "Sugar God" in this world, Li Chuanshui immediately became interested.
With a hint of expectation and curiosity, Li Chuanshui asked the long worm spirit in detail: "I said, what is the sugar god?" Can you tell me more about it? ”
Listening to Li Chuanshui's questioning, Xiao Jiu'er sorted out his thoughts a little, and then replied: "That thing is said to be a sugar god, but it is actually a kind of spirit, like ...... Like the insects that are greedy but like to cook, they have the magical effect of enhancing the sweetness of sugar water. ”
"Greedy insect ......" Li Chuanshui was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he pointed at Xiao Jiu'er and said, "That...... Isn't that you? I didn't expect our little Jiu'er to have a little brother! ”
Listening to Li Chuanshui's ridicule, the little ghost's pale face was filled with some embarrassment.
"Who's related to that kind of elf! Don't talk nonsense! Xiao Jiu'er protested very dissatisfied, and then patted her chest and said: "I'm going to be a high-end product that will hurt people, that kind of broken thing is just a waste, not even legs, adding the word 'god' is to lift it, no matter what, it can't be compared with me!" Yikes! Yikes! ”
Xiao Jiu'er's overreaction really made Li Chuanshui stunned, he really didn't expect this little thing to be so angry, and he was still angry when he was talking.
Therefore, after Jiu'er roared a few times, Li Chuanshui hurriedly comforted him a few times, and only then did he barely calm down Xiao Jiu'er.
After another period of comfort, Xiao Jiu'er panted and told Li Chuanshui that this "sugar god" was a kind of spirit that grew between heaven and earth, and if you wanted to catch it, you must have honey, eggs, red paper, glass bottles or porcelain jars. After having these things, I have to look for a dark and windy night for a month, and I also have to find a big laurel tree.
"Katsura?" Li Chuanshui was puzzled when he heard this: "Why are you looking for a laurel tree?"
Listening to Li Chuanshui's question, Xiao Jiu'er said with disdain: "Because that thing grows on the laurel tree, it is a sinister soul, surviving on the sap of the laurel tree, timid and afraid, a waste, cowardly and lazy by nature."
When Xiao Jiu'er said those words, she put on a gritted teeth, as if she wanted to devour the so-called sugar god alive, and even Li Chuanshui was sweating when she looked at it......
It seems that it will be better for this little thing to be Jiu'er in the future......
Although Jiu'er's evaluation of the sugar god was extremely evil, after getting angry, Li Chuanshui and Xiao Jiu'er still finalized the problem of how to help Zhou Yuanyuan.
To do a good job in the small circle dessert shop, Li Chuanshui has to invite the sugar god, and if you want to invite the sugar god, you have to buy honey and prepare all kinds of things, and when you are ready to catch all kinds of things from the sugar god, the most important step is to find a laurel tree.
When all the raw materials needed were bought, looking for the laurel tree really became Li Chuanshui's biggest headache.
It turns out that the urban area of Shanghai and Hangzhou, where Li Chuanshui is located, is relatively northern, so the laurel tree is relatively rare, and Xiao Jiu'er has very high requirements for the tree, saying that it must be at least 50 years old to become a laurel tree.
Li Chuanshui was quite speechless for such a demanding request, but the urgency of time had to make him continue to "find, find, find". The whole day was busy running around.
In the process of running, Li Chuan's water roots were not smooth, he took the map, and kept running around the botanical garden and the riverside where there might be large laurel trees, but even so, he only found a few small trees with a bowl mouth and less than ten years old.
The reality in front of him discouraged Li Chuanshui, and in the evening, the hunger had to make Li Chuanshui stop looking for it, and instead wanted to go somewhere to eat.
Later, the matter of looking for the laurel tree came to an end for the time being, Li Chuanshui took heavy steps when the lights rose in the city at night, and entered a fairly good Chinese-shaped restaurant, and then asked the waiter of the hotel for a plate of pork knuckles, a plate of vegetarian fried broccoli, and a plate of assorted shrimp rice, and ate slowly.
While eating, Jiu'er on Li Chuanshui's body floated out of his sleeve again.
Jiu'er, who has regained her body, seems to be very excited at this time, this little ghost girl always can't help but change into an adult, looking east, west, and blowing cold air at the diners around her.
When others suddenly shivered because of the coldness, the little guy covered his mouth and withdrew his head with a smile, looking proud.
Looking at Xiao Jiu'er's smug smile, Li Chuanshui, who had been gone for a day, but really had no gain, was very unhappy.
So, he gently knocked on the table a few times and asked Xiao Jiu'er: "I said, don't go too far in doing things!" I'm excited to know that you have a new body now, but it's too spoof to keep blowing into someone's neck! ”
"Understood!" A beautiful smile crossed Xiao Jiu'er's face. Li Chuanshui was stunned.
In fact, speaking of which, Jiu'er is very good-looking with a smile, but because she has no eyes, no matter how you look at her, there is a kind of gloomy and lingering gloom in her smile.
Staring at Xiao Jiu'er's black hole in the sockets, Li Chuanshui felt that she definitely had a pair of eyes before, but for some reason, her eyes were gouged out by something. Now there are only two holes left......
For whatever reason, his eyes were removed, and it must have been a very sad and sad story.
Li Chuanshui naturally had some curiosity about the pursuit of Jiu'er's eyes, but he knew that it was definitely Xiao Jiu'er's sad thing, and he said that he would never ask this little ghost about the so-called "sad past" again, so Li Chuanshui did not ask these questions.
But even so, in the face of Xiao Jiu'er, who was wide in white clothes and floating around, in addition to those, Li Chuanshui still had a lot of things to ask.
After eating about half a full meal, Li Chuanshui put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and asked Xiao Jiu'er, who was chasing flies above his head: "Xiao Jiu'er, I heard you say that your human form used to be your past skin in the world?"
"Yes!" Chasing the flies, Xiao Jiu'er froze them with a cold breath and nodded at Li Chuanshui.
"In that case...... Li Chuanshui asked again with his own ideas: "You won't be a person before, right?" But...... Why did it turn into a snake? ”
With Li Chuanshui's questioning, Xiao Jiu'er's body shook suddenly and involuntarily, and her complexion quickly changed from happy and free to quickly embarrassed and frightened.
"Alone!" Jiu'er's body trembled slightly and told the stunned Li Chuanshui, "I...... Met someone who wasn't supposed to meet......"
