Chapter 18: The Disciple
Feng Qi kicked into the door, looked up at the small courtyard like a small box, everywhere was messy and dilapidated, the low earthen house patch window, the inside was dark, this is really a relative who can't be poorer anymore.
"Yaqian, you ......" Su Shiyun looked Feng Qi up and down, and saw that she only had a small burden on her, and her clothes were crumpled and she didn't wear shoes, showing a little displeasure, "You have also seen that if you want to live here, my family can't afford to support people who eat for nothing." ”
Feng Qi sneered, glanced at Su Shiyun, sat down at the low table in the courtyard, and said slowly: "You can rest assured, I won't stay for two days before leaving." Let me ask you, what are the rumors in the vicinity of this town? Where are the demons and monsters? ”
Su Shiyun glanced at Feng Qi, quite unexpected, but seeing Feng Qi take it out of his arms, he slapped a silver ticket on the table, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"That...... There are rumors in the town that there are demons, and there are many, many demon ......"
"Another." She wasn't interested in the evil things for the time being.
"That...... A few days ago, the old grandson's house was haunted......"
"Another." She is not the child of one of those families, and the haunting is not her responsibility.
"And ...... And ......" Su Shiyun thought desperately, his eyes chasing the silver ticket in Feng Qi's hand up and down, "It's still ...... And ......"
At this moment, the tattered courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and a dark and thin old man wearing a ragged robe pushed open the door, and shouted, "You don't even bolt the door, just open it like this, do you know how chaotic the world is outside?" I don't know what to think at home every day, and the older I get, the less useful I become......"
Su Shiyun was startled, and hurriedly turned around to greet him, "Old man, you came back just in time, tell me quickly, are there any rumors of demons and monsters in this town?" ”
An Wantian suddenly showed vigilance, and at a glance he saw Feng Qi sitting in the courtyard, and what he saw at a glance was the silver ticket, and his eyes couldn't stop showing greed, but he asked cautiously: "Who is this?" ”
Su Shiyun hurriedly explained, "This is my niece in Guzhu's house, I came to join my relatives, I just want to hear something about demons and monsters, I have money, you have to know it, talk ......about it, talk about it."
An Wantian smacked his lips, and muttered angrily: "A girl, have nothing to inquire about the demons and monsters?" ”
Feng Qi heard this, didn't say a word, tore the silver ticket in his hand a few times, and said coldly: "You can exchange the news for money, or you can exchange the news for your life, I have the money, I don't know how many lives you have." ”
"This, this, this ......" Su Shiyun saw that a silver ticket turned into shredded paper, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up, his eyes were red with distress, "This...... I can't tear this ......."
An Wantian saw Feng Qi take out another silver ticket, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "There are no demons and monsters in this town, it's too peaceful, you can live here with peace of mind......"
However, before the words were finished, Feng Qi stared at An Wantian's eyes fiercely, An Wantian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and most of his bad thoughts in his stomach were lost in an instant, his waist was bent, and his confidence was not enough, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Yes...... There's such a thing. ”
"Say it." Feng Qi was a little worried, thinking that she was proficient in the art of soul dementorship back then, and even the people in the Immortal Sect might not be able to resist it, but now she has no cultivation...... Can only scare and scare the mortal little old man?
An Wantian leaned closer and whispered: "Recently, a lot of demons have come, and they live on the back side of the mountain behind, and they have found many people from the town to cut down trees and move stones, and give twenty taels of silver a day." ”
When Su Shiyun heard this, he immediately slapped his head and face, "You said before that when you go to work in the mountains, you will be given ten taels of silver a day, and what about the other ten taels?!" ”
"Be quiet! Those demons said that we are not allowed to spread this story, otherwise, if we don't give the money, we will have to eat our whole family! ”
Feng Qi suddenly asked, "Where you cut down trees and moved stones, have you seen the stones at the square base, on which are carved all kinds of beast heads?" ”
"Beast head?" An Wantian was stunned, "What is the beast head?" ”
"It's the head of an animal."
An Wantian nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I have indeed seen it." ”
Then it should be on the back side of this back mountain, when the god realm and the demon world fought, the demon general Qingye was sealed near Maple Leaf Town more than a year before she died, and then did she come back to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, this is not easy to ask, but, if Qingye is still alive, if someone is guarding the formation on the mountain, it should also be a Xunyang disciple, why is there a group of demons?
Twenty taels of silver a day, that's the ration of ordinary people's families for two or three months, what do those demons want to do?
"That, niece...... An Wantian discussed, "If you want to go and see it, I'll take you there early tomorrow morning, it's a beautiful place, it's full of wild flowers, it's just that the mountain road is not easy to walk, you just put your bags at home." ”
Su Shiyun glanced at An Wantian and looked at Feng Qi, and An Wantian hurriedly said: "My niece is running all the way, and she should be tired, so it is better to go into the house, take a shower and change her clothes, and sleep well." ”
Feng Qi looked at these two people coldly, the sadness in her heart was not ordinary, look, this is her soul dementorship? I can really only be scared, and in the blink of an eye, I began to make up my mind on her again.
"No need, I'll come back early tomorrow morning, if someone asks about me, just say I'm going out to buy something, don't say anything else, the money won't be less of you, don't fight the idea that you shouldn't fight."
After saying that, Feng got up and left, firstly, she didn't want to live in such a shabby and dilapidated house at all, there must be strange insects, rats and ants in it, and secondly, she ...... She really had to buy a pair of shoes.
And she also found that she was not hungry because her legs were weak before, and her feet gradually became numb when she was on the boat, and she was not frightened by Ye Chonglang. Lan Sijing reminded her in one sentence that walking corpses, stiff flesh and bones are ordinary. Before the resentment was completely resolved, her seizure was not complete, in fact, it was no different from a high-level walking corpse, the resentment had gradually begun to spread, and the matter of killing Ye Daiyi had not yet been seen, and she really didn't have much time.
The town will be lively for a while in the evening, with tables on the streets and noodle soup and wontons for sale, but in fact, in such a town, there is only one shop in all walks of life, and there is no problem of grabbing business.
Feng Qi was thinking as she walked, there was only one inn in the town, and she lived in it for a night, how likely it would be to meet Ye Chonglang.
"Girl, a disciple of the Eastern Capital in Xia Nai, who has just come to your land, and is not familiar with the place, can you bother the girl to guide and lead the way to the inn in this town?"
Feng Qi tilted his head, only to see a young man in a red shirt and a light shirt, his face was like a crown of jade, he was handsome, his hair was meticulous in his golden crown, his bright red shirt was separated, and the gold silk on his chest & front was embroidered with a wolf's head in the wind.
But the problem is, she doesn't even have shoes, so why do you think she is a local and ask her for directions?
However, the young man seemed to have only looked at Feng Qi's feet at this moment, and was surprised, "Girl, please get on the sedan chair, I will arrange to buy shoes for the girl first." ”
Feng Qi looked over and saw that the young man was followed by six Dongdu disciples and a small green bamboo sedan chair, but her eyes fell on the four people carrying the sedan chair, and she couldn't move anymore.
The four men were ragged and hunched backs, their dark muscles were covered with new and old whiplashes, some of them already scarred, their faces were half twisted and hideous patterns pierced with black ink, and their mouths were chained like the chews of donkeys and horses.
The young man smiled, in a rather ostentatious tone, "Don't be afraid, girls, they are demon slaves, and they will never dare to hurt the girl." ”
Demon slaves? Once upon a time, who fell into the devil's path in order not to be at ease?
In fact, they are no longer considered to be people in the Demon Dao, the destruction of the Demon Realm has subverted the Dao in their hearts, they are just a few ordinary people who have been bullied.
"Then thank you to this son." After Feng Qi finished speaking, as soon as she walked over, the four demon slaves carefully knelt on the ground and put a sedan chair waiting for her to sit on.
The young man followed the sedan chair, and didn't ask where the Fengqi Inn was, his face was dyed with joy and said: "I am a disciple of the Eastern Capital's own family, Qin Xu, Qin Yiqing, and the girl calls me Yiqing." ”
Of course, she could see that he was a disciple of the Dongdu family, and it was likely that he still had some status, and the six next to him all gave Qin Yiqing the opportunity to speak, as if they were the followers who hugged him from front to back.
She knew a long time ago that the Xianmen family had been doing it for a long time, and she could always raise a few noble and arrogant sons, and going out to experience was like playing in the mountains and rivers, with a group of servants and subordinates to follow, and a lot of people hugged before and after, and it was likely that she was just dealing with a few low-level walking corpses.
But this Qin Xu ...... She really knows where he came from, this is not a noble and arrogant son.
A main street is not long, even if you walk along, you can find the inn, and just in front of the sedan chair standing in front of the inn, Qin Yiqing's attendant also returned, four pairs of embroidered shoes were placed in front of Feng Qi, different sizes, there was always a suitable pair.
Seeing that Feng Qi picked up a pair of the smallest ones that were still a little wide, Qin Yiqing swallowed hard, and reached out to help Feng get off the sedan chair, "I don't know where the girl's house is?" Why don't we have a meal together, and I'll send the girl home later. ”
Feng Qi only took Qin Yiqing's hand and got up, then let go again, and said shallowly: "Childe don't have to be polite, I couldn't help Childe, but I got Childe's help, so it's better to ...... I will do my landlord's friendship and invite my son to a meal. ”
"How can you let the girl break the bank? It should be me who invited the girl. ”
"Childe is too polite......"
The two said polite words to each other, but in fact, the goal had been achieved, Qin Yiqing did not simply ask Feng Qi for directions, and Feng Qi did not simply want to invite Qin Yiqing to dinner.
A few people were seated, and another was told to place the demon slaves, supposedly to be sent to the stables and tied up.
Qin Yiqing smiled at this moment and asked, "I don't know the girl's name yet?" ”
"Su Yaqian."
"Good name! Elegant and dignified, slender! Qin Yiqing praised it, it is estimated that even if Feng Qi calls Zhang San and Li Si, he will praise a beautiful and refined sentence and return to the basics.
