Chapter XVII: The Plague of Nature
In the next few days, the originally mysterious Bai Xiaohai became even more mysterious. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info almost every day except for eating and sleeping, it is the cultivation in the eyes of others. Bai Xiaohai didn't know how he came over these days, he only knew that he was tired and fell asleep, and when he woke up, he continued to condense. Miss Lori, who originally had zero resistance, now no matter what trick she uses, Bai Xiaohai will no longer be submissive. Everyone couldn't understand what Bai Xiaohai was doing, because his cultivation method was completely different from normal or common sense.
The journey seemed to have returned to its previous boredom from the day when Bai Xiaohai was silent.
"Grandpa Xu, is Brother Xiaohai sick?" Looking at Bai Xiaohai who kept repeating the same action in the distance, the eldest lady asked with some concern.
"Probably not, Xiaohai, this kid, don't look at him as only ten years old. But from the look in his eyes, it is not difficult to see how tenacious his mind is, it should be that he has some kind of inspiration in the process of cultivation!" Although he said so, the old butler was still very worried in his heart. Because he has seen too many people go down the road of no return because they are too focused.
"Huh" Bai Xiaohai let out a long breath, looking at the last bottle ......of medicinal powder porcelain bottle in his hand empty, he suddenly had a feeling of being in a different world. He's been in a dream these days, but the results in the Space Ring have been enough for him to be happy for a long time.
Bai Xiaohai looked up at the sky, and the galaxy was full of stars. In fact, Bai Xiaohai likes to look at the sky, not only because of how blue the sky is here, but also because no matter what world he is in, the person he misses the most is the same sky above his head. It has been ten years since he came to this world, have the parents of that world already received his glorious letter of condolence? Is he a sacrifice or a death? Will his comrades-in-arms shed tears for themselves? Although Bai Xiaohai knew that he would never be able to go back even if he thought about it, he just couldn't control himself. Maybe it's homecoming. Now he seemed to understand a little, but the old woman at the bridgehead had intentions. Thinking of this, Bai Xiaohai couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought: I don't know if I should apologize to that mother-in-law, after all, I went too far that time. In fact, he didn't know how he managed to make such a powerful explosive.
"Are you alive?" a familiar voice sounded behind Bai Xiaohai.
"It's alive!" Bai Xiaohai replied without replying.
"Everyone is worried about you these days, especially the eldest lady. “
"Hehe, she's worried that no one will play with those dolls with her!"
"Even so, it's better than having no one to worry about at all! Sometimes being worried is also a kind of happiness!" seemed to have something touching the heartstrings of the old butler, who looked at the moon that had just risen in the distance with tears in his eyes.
"Grandpa housekeeper, do you miss your parents a little?" Of course, Bai Xiaohai could understand the pain in the old housekeeper's heart, because he was also in this state just now.
"At my age, life and death have long been seen through. But the longing for his family is not something that can be stopped by seeing through it. “
"Yes, how the people of the past are miserable, and how the living are sad!"
"To be honest, I really don't believe you're only ten years old, and sometimes I feel like you've been through more than I do. “
"Where, you say it's like I'm a monster. “
"You're a little monster in my eyes, but you don't have to worry too much about me, because I like monsters. The old housekeeper glanced at Bai Xiaohai meaningfully and said, "Hurry up and rest, we shouldn't have to sleep in the wilderness tomorrow." “
"What's the matter, we're in Reincarnation City?" Bai Xiaohai asked in surprise.
"It's beautiful to think, but tomorrow our journey will not be so bare and uninhabited. The old butler's face also showed a little joy.
The two looked at the time, it was already midnight, and they didn't say anything more. After saying goodnight, they went to bed.
The next day, the convoy set off early, and everyone let out a long breath when they saw Bai Xiaohai return to normal, and their original worries disappeared. However, some people are now pursing their cute little lips and ignoring Bai Xiaohai, facing such a dilemma, Bai Xiaohai has no other way but to smile bitterly.
As the old butler said, when you walk until noon, you can vaguely see the village in the distance. Everyone in the convoy couldn't help but cheer, except for Bai Xiaohai. Because he could vaguely see what seemed to be black smoke in the sky above the village. He didn't know if it was his delusion and didn't tell anyone else, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The appearance of the village was like a shot in the arm for everyone, and the speed at which everyone traveled was noticeably improved. Soon everyone had arrived at the entrance of the village, but the depressed scene of the village made everyone present secretly smack their tongues.
The village should be a densely populated village, as evidenced by the number of village fairs, shops, and inns. But the village doesn't look like that now. The doors of every house are closed, and the shops are locked. There was not a trace of anger in the village, not even the roosters and dogs barking.
Bai Xiaohai and the old butler glanced at each other with stern expressions, and they both saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
Bai Xiaohai and the others walked slowly in the village, and the villagers saw them as if they had seen a plague god, and they avoided them one by one, and it was precisely because of this that the people in the convoy had not talked to anyone until now.
"Grandpa Xu, let's get out of here. Yingying was afraid. After so many days of traveling together, Bai Xiaohai knew the surnames and names of these two.
"Miss, don't panic, we really have to live here today, it's not a very wise choice to go out of the village now, if the old slave is not mistaken, in front of this village is the most dangerous Black Marsh Jedi on this road. If you enter during the day, there should be no danger, but once it is night, then we will never have any chance. "The old butler is definitely not exaggerating, the Black Swamp Jedi is a world-famous murderous land. There are countless water ghost zombies here, but since these water ghost zombies only come out to do evil at midnight, in fact, this place can not definitely be regarded as a murderous place.
"Okay then...... Let's hurry up and find an inn!" said the crowd, and they walked on guard towards the inn that was still lit in the distance.
Boom Boom Boom ...... At the door of the great inn, the old butler ordered one of the guards to knock on the door. Probably because the village is so quiet, the knocks on the door are very harsh.
Squeak...... With a tooth-aching sound of the door opening, a thin guy poked his head out, and he kept looking at Bai Xiaohai's gang with his cunning little eyes.
"You ...... What are you going to do?" asked after looking at it for a long time.
"You're at the inn, what do you think we're here for?" said the guard who knocked on the door.
"We're not in business today!" said the shopkeeper as he closed his door.
Bai Xiaohai, there are more than a dozen people in the world, and they finally have the opportunity to sleep in a bed, who wants to sleep in a meadow. Several strong guards almost knocked down the quaint gate with a push.
"Alas?!I said why are you guys like this, I said that we won't do business today, and you still have a hard break!" Anyone who is carried like a chicken will be unhappy.
Maybe it was Bai Xiaohai who was arguing with the shopkeeper too loudly, and an old woman upstairs walked down slowly.
"Huanxi, don't you say that you won't do business? Why do you still let people in? If you let those people in Muzong know, we will eat melons together!"
"Old man, we really don't have a place to go, today we will stay for one night and leave early tomorrow morning. The old butler said.
"I see...... I can only take you in for one night, and tomorrow you have to leave. Huanxi quickly went to inform the kitchen to make some simple food, and after taking the guests to eat, he boiled the bath water for them and washed the dust for the guests. The old woman said yes very happily.
When the shopkeeper saw that his master agreed, he no longer had any hesitation. In a short time, a simple but delicious dinner was served.
Bai Xiaohai began to look at the inn while eating, and then waved his hand at the shopkeeper.
"Little guest officer, do you have any orders?" the shop guy hurriedly came to Bai Xiaohai's approach and asked humbly.
"What's wrong with our village? Is something going on? Why isn't there anyone on the street?"
"And you don't know! A lot of people in our village have a strange disease, and this strange disease is very contagious. Now more than a hundred people have died, I advise you to hurry up tomorrow, if the people from the Mu Sect come, it is estimated that it will be impossible to get out. ”
Listening to his words, Bai Xiaohaijue was not bad at this shopkeeper, and reached out and took out five silver coins from his pocket and gave them to the shopkeeper, who was busy getting bath water.
"Grandpa butler, it seems that there is a plague here!"
The old man also nodded slightly, after all, the old man was born in the Mu Sect, if he couldn't see this clue, then he would really have lived in vain for decades.
