Chapter 278 - The Vanishing Mark (2)
Chi Muyan listened to his sister's words, and could only look at this angry old man, shook his head helplessly, and then took out a small bag full of gold coins from his body, threw it to Chi Mudie, and sighed softly: "Alas! Okay, you go and buy him more, this guest father in the province said that we are stingy." ”
Chi Mudie took the money bag thrown by her brother, and after shaking her head and smiling helplessly, she quickly ran out of the door, and happened to meet the Wolf Emperor's family who had just gotten up on the way, and the sharp smoke in her eyes saw that it was Chi Mudie who ran out in a flash, so she shouted loudly in the direction she ran out: "Eh, Fluttershy, where are you going in a hurry early in the morning? Let Canglan accompany you?"
"No, I'm going to buy some roast chickens and feed them to the tigers, so let's go have breakfast first!"
Chi Mudie just replied to Cangyan in a loud voice, and quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, Cangyan and the others glanced at each other for some reason, and then walked to the living room, and saw Chi Muyan who beckoned them to come over for breakfast, so he asked curiously: "Eh, Chi Muyan, when did you raise a tiger? Early in the morning, I instructed Xiaodie to go shopping, and you also want to eat roast chicken? What kind of rare breed of tiger are you?"
Chi Muyan stretched out his hand and pointed at the president with a helpless face, "Oh, just this rare variety, the Tiger God Master who just came back yesterday is the only one in the world! Don't you have to hurry up and find a way to send it back quickly, or I really can't afford to raise it!"
The chairman glared at him unhappily when he heard Chi Muyan's words, and snorted disdainfully: "You don't cry for me here to be poor, I have only eaten a few meals of you? You can't afford to raise it? I haven't eaten even one thousandth of what you scraped from me!"
"Hey, you old man, can you still have fun together? Why don't you tell me how many useful things I've done for you?"
Chi Muyan glanced at the president helplessly, and continued to pick up the bowl and take a sip of porridge, but the president angrily pointed at Canglan and continued to reason with him: "That person Canglan has also helped me do a lot of useful things, why don't people scrape money from me every day like you?"
"Well, that's because he doesn't have to be in charge of the entire Yingzhou Island yet, and when he inherits the position of Lord Qingyu next month, I see if he can be so generous. Besides, you ask Lord Qingyu yourself, is most of their main source of income by selling the rare ores unique to Yingzhou Island, and you can see me here for yourself? In addition to trees, or trees, what else can I sell except for selling the fruits of these trees, and then properly peeling some useful bark? Cut down all these trees that are older than my ancestors and sell firewood? And not only can I not cut down trees, but I also have to prevent others from cutting down trees, and in addition, I have to help you run around all day long, am I easy? Q: What's wrong with your money?"
Chi Muyan listened to the president's words, put down the dishes and chopsticks and counted them with him, the president just frowned and wanted to continue the dispute with him, so he heard Chi Mudie, who ran back from the door, shouted to him: "Okay, okay, Tiger God Daddy, the roast chicken you want is here, you gnaw on it first to dissipate your anger, and the provincial meeting will come up with some 'good' ideas to toss us." ”
Chi Mudie ran into the house as she spoke, and quickly broke off a chicken leg and stuffed it into the president's mouth, only then did she let out a long breath, and made a grimace at Chi Muyan behind the president, making everyone who was eating laugh.
Everyone ate breakfast in such a joyful atmosphere, and after the chairman finished nibbling on the second roast chicken, he finally burped with satisfaction, and greeted Cang Lan and Chi Mudie, who were whispering together: "You two went out to talk all night last night and haven't talked enough, come and discuss business first!"
"Well, it's a good thing, it's not a good thing. Chi Mudie quietly muttered to Cang Lan, but it attracted the president's dissatisfied shouting: "Don't think that now that you have their family to support you, you can do whatever you want, you haven't married yet! If you don't come over quickly, I will make you completely unable to marry!"
"Oh, Daddy, what are you talking about!" Chi Mudie was a little embarrassed by what the president said, so she complained to him and quickly changed the topic and asked, "I was just saying, where did you get Xue Xue, Mu Mu, Brother Chu Bai and Sister Yuejian?"
"I asked them to go back to the Tumen Inn last night to learn spells from Gold. You'd better care about your own problems first!" The president replied impatiently, pulling one of Chi Mudie's arms, but at first glance, he was surprised: "Huh, why did the paw prints of that beast disappear so quickly yesterday?"
Chi Mudie didn't know what he was going to do, but after listening to his question, he could only look up to the sky with a helpless face and sigh: "Alas, Daddy, can you take a snack? I obviously showed you my right arm yesterday, you pulled my left arm to look at it today, and asked me why my paw prints disappeared, do you think it's not enough for me to be kicked by that thing?"
After listening to Chi Mudie's words, the president also let go of her arm with some embarrassment, and coughed lightly to cover it up: "Hmm...... Anyway, you all come over and see what kind of creature's paw prints are on their arms, why do I always feel familiar?"
So in Zai, both Chi Mudie and Cang Lan rolled up their sleeves, and everyone present stepped forward to carefully observe the paw prints on their arms. After a moment of silent thought, the youngest Cangxiu was the first to frown and said, "I think this is a bit like the shape of a canine's paw prints in the snow. ”
"No, the paw prints of dogs are rounder than this, and they are like the shape of a small flower. ”
As soon as Cangxiu's words fell, Cangyun refuted her opinion, and Cangxiu continued to argue unconvinced: "No, you said that the rounder ones are left by the front paws, and the paw prints left by the hind paws are so long when dogs are not running." ”
Chi Mudie listened to the conversation between the two, and also looked at the paw prints on his arm and muttered, "This is indeed left by the hind paws of something, but I don't think it looks like a canine." Because if it is a dog of that size and strength, the paw prints left should be thicker, not so slender and delicate. ”
After listening to Chi Mudie's analysis, Cangxiu leaned over again to take a closer look at the marks on her arm, and nodded approvingly: "Well, what Sister Die said is also true, if it is a dog that can kick Sister Die and Brother Lan away together, it should be very large, and the paw prints will not be so small." ”
Seeing that Chi Mudie smiled and touched Cangxiu's head, Chi Muyan suddenly thought, "Eh, by the way, didn't you two see the thing that kicked you last night? What about the smell? What about the sound? nothing?"
Chi Mudie listened to his question, and shook his head with a slight frown: "It's not that we didn't see it clearly, it's that we didn't see it at all." It was as if it was completely transparent, and we didn't even notice any of its breath before it moved, including when it kicked us, we only felt the wind brought up by something rushing towards us, and then we subconsciously raised our hands to block it. ”
After listening to Chi Mudie's detailed explanation, Cang Lan also nodded beside her and added: "Yes, I didn't smell anything other than Wu Ma Xi, including the smell of her alone when she escaped from the demonic thing that resembled demonic qi in the end." ”
After another moment of silent thought, Chi Muyan discovered the clue in Cang Lan's words, so he raised his head and exclaimed, "Wait! You just said that it is similar to demonic qi, are you not sure if it is demonic qi?"
Cang Lan also nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, there is no strong smell of blood and rancid smell in that pitch-black thing, just like the kind of black qi she used last time when we fought with the dark crows at the Tumen Inn. ”
"Dark crow?" Chi Muyan was silent thoughtfully for a moment after hearing this name, and then continued to ask: "You said that you also encountered this dark crow in Lihua Village before, is this also the case with the black qi she used at that time?"
Cang Lan shook her head a little hesitantly and said, "No, although she didn't have any smell on her body that time, the demonic qi she used at that time was the usual one with a fishy smell, which was completely different from the one at the Tumen Inn." ”
After listening to Cang Lan's words, the rest of the people fell into a state of contemplation with solemn faces again, but Chi Muyan sighed the doubts in everyone's hearts without any scruples.
"Shhh...... This intangible, tasteless, no-and-go thing is somewhat similar to the Kitsune-sama who has been helping us!Fluttershy, have you ever consulted with that adult?"
Chi Mudie listened to her brother's words, but shook her head helplessly and sighed: "After I came back last night, I originally wanted to ask her for advice, but that adult, just like our casual father, completely ignored my call, so I have no other way!"
As Chi Mudie spoke, he looked at the president on the side with that helpless look, but the president frowned very unhappily and shouted at her: "Go, go, go! Don't have anything bad, just compare it with me, are there such unfilial sons and daughters as you? I just wanted to talk about your marriage! Since you don't want to hear it, then you don't want to get married." ”
After the president finished speaking, he got up with his hands behind his back and left, but Cang Lan and Chi Muyan flashed over and stopped in front of him at the same time, they already knew that Cang Lan would not know how to speak, so Chi Muyan took the lead and smiled flatteringly at the president: "Hehe, Dad, don't look like this! Who said we don't want to hear you? We all want to continue to listen to you! You continue, continue!"
The chairman looked at Chi Muyan's hippie smile, but squinted at him disdainfully: "Well, you don't want to hear me continue, you want me to prepare a dowry for your precious sister, right?"
