Chapter 387: Human Traffickers
For Kraken's behavior, Ah Gu felt extremely angry, the key is that in this big night, suddenly someone said something in your head, it would be strange if you didn't scare people into a mental disorder!
Kraken didn't have a word of apology, he disappeared directly.
However, Ah Gu still has some expectations in his heart, and he doesn't know what the difference between this sea god and Harfas is!
The journey continues!
......
Gaze back to Xiao Qi's side.
In order to avoid these nobles, he and Qing Ming directly left Caiyin at home to take care of the house, and the two of them secretly ran out to enjoy the world of the two.
There are many small villages around the city of ice and fire, enough for two people to hide for a while.
The two of them rode horses and galloped all the way to a small village not far from the City of Ice and Fire, although it was said to be a village, but the population was large, almost three or four thousand people, about the same as a small town.
These people had regrouped here after the war, and although they lived in poverty, there was hope, so everyone had a smile on their faces.
When I saw two little dolls coming to the village, they all greeted them warmly.
This made Xiao Qi feel very cordial, and he also greeted these farmers.
"Let's find a place to rest!" Xiao Qi said.
Xiao Qi has a lot of physical strength, although she is a magician, but she has exercised a good physical strength when she fights, but Qing Ming's body is a little unbearable, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has basically never suffered hardship.
Although she was tired, Qing Ming liked this feeling very much, and the scenery around her was something she had never seen before.
"If we have time, why don't we build a small house in this place and come here to escape the heat in the summer!" Qing Ming said happily.
"Okay, good, all listen to you!" Xiao Qi said, with a doting smile on his face.
After inquiring, the two came to the best inn in the village, because it is not far from the city of ice and fire, there are many hotels in the village, and they can make a lot of money every year.
Although the size of the hotel is not large, it is very clean and the price is very reasonable, Qing Ming and Xiao Qi decided to stay in this place.
"Shopkeeper, please help us boil some bath water!" Xiao Qi casually threw over a few copper coins, and the boss agreed with a smile.
Looking at the age of the two children, the boss thought that they had secretly eloped away at the risk of their parents.
But this has nothing to do with the boss at all, and happily takes the money to boil water.
Although his hotel's reputation is very good, it is not large, so only the owner and his son and daughter-in-law are taking care of it.
"Here, boil water for the guests!" said the owner.
Out of the back kitchen came a young woman, not very old, eighteen or nineteen years old, less than twenty, wearing an apron, and hurried out.
Although she is not good-looking, she has a sweet smile and is pleasing to the eye.
"Koharu, hurry up, these two are generous, and they are rich at first glance!" said the boss with a smile, weighing the copper coins in his palm.
His son went to the city to buy goods, so that he could come back after night.
Koharu agreed, while pulling out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and placing it in his hand.
The boss couldn't help but sigh when he saw Koharu like this, this was her fault, and he didn't know when he would be able to correct it.
After the bath water was boiled, Qing Ming tested the water temperature, closed the curtains, and came to the wooden barrel, his skin was scalded by the hot water, and the exhaustion of his body was completely removed.
"It's so comfortable!" said Qing Ming lazily.
Although these two children have not really become husband and wife, they are not so shy of each other.
"Pinch my shoulders!" shouted Qing Ming.
Xiao Qi put down the luggage in his hand, came to the wooden barrel, and gently kneaded Qing Ming's shoulder.
Although the two children were already very familiar, when Xiao Qi's fingers touched Qing Ming's skin, his body involuntarily stiffened.
Xiao Qi was condescending, his eyes involuntarily slid downward, the water flooded the upper half of Qing Ming's chest, and the lower half could not be seen clearly in the water, he was a normal boy after all, and his breathing couldn't help but become short.
Qing Ming's face was as red as an apple, and he lowered his head, not daring to raise his head.
Xiao Qi's hand squeezed and pinched it turned into a stroke, thinking about whether to go down a little bit......
Qing Ming grabbed Xiao Qi's hand and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I...... I've accidentally seen my dad and mom in ...... before Ahem, let's ...... Tonight...... Ahh
Before Xiao Qi could finish speaking, his hand suddenly went down and pressed on Qing Ming's chest, and Qing Ming let out a short scream.
The two children's breathing became more and more rapid, and Xiao Qi reached out and took Qing Ming out of the barrel directly, staring with four eyes!
Just when the two of them were about to go further, suddenly something was thrown in through the window, startling the two children who were about to enter the state, Xiao Qi hurriedly pulled the sheets and wrapped Qing Ming.
"Who?" Xiao Qi shouted, and all his original lust turned into anger.
And he saw the hoe that was thrown in, half broken.
It was at this time that there was a commotion below the inn.
"Arrest the traffickers! Traffickers steal children! Arrest the traffickers!"
Then there was a stumbling sound of footsteps downstairs.
Xiao Qi gritted his teeth angrily, you know that the traffickers are delaying Lao Tzu's big thing!
It wouldn't be so good in normal times, but at such a critical time......
"I'll take a look! you be careful!" Xiao Qi said.
Qing Ming's face was flushed, and he hurriedly got dressed.
Xiao Qi jumped directly from the upper floor, just in time to see dozens of villagers wielding hoes, sickles and other farm tools, chasing a man.
Because of the dark sky, I couldn't see the man's face clearly, I could only see a small child behind his back, the child didn't cry, didn't make trouble, didn't move, didn't know whether it was dead or alive!
Soon, the man was surrounded by the villagers, and this man did not panic, just looked at the villagers around him.
The innkeeper's son had just arrived home when he heard a commotion outside and didn't know what was going on.
His wife, Koharu, grabbed the kitchen knife beside her with her backhand, her eyes wary.
"It seems to be a human trafficker!" the boss said lightly.
During the war years, people's hearts were in turmoil, although the war has passed, many systems have not been restored, and many outlaws with bad intentions will take the opportunity to make trouble!
This is not the first time that such arrests have happened to traffickers.
Suddenly, for some reason, there was a scream from the crowd outside, and then there was a panicked shout!
The knife in Koharu's hand was held tighter.
......
At this time, the situation outside has changed drastically, and it is no longer these farmers chasing the traffickers, but the traffickers are chasing these farmers.
I saw that this trafficker was full of fangs, covered in blood, and chewing a piece of raw meat in his mouth, which should have been torn from that unlucky bastard!
"This is not a man, this is a monster!" cried out a peasant.
Xiao Qi frowned slightly, this person does not have a little breath of a living person, if the guess is right, it should be an undead!
For the undead, Xiao Qi is not afraid at all, his master and sister are all necromancers.
Little Nicole, in particular, often summons a lot of undead creatures as toys!
"It's really interesting!" Xiao Qi said with squinted eyes.
Just when this zombie-like undead was about to rush up, Xiao Qi slammed a thunder spell on his thigh, directly smashing the zombie's thigh!
"Ahhh
Xiao Qi was shocked, don't look at his main cultivation of thunder attribute magic, but Ah Gu requires his apprentices to have a certain understanding of other magic, and Xiao Qi knows most about undead magic.
He naturally knew that zombies had no wisdom, and when they saw living things, they would pounce on them and gnaw wildly, but the zombie in front of him not only held the child and played hide and seek with these villagers, but also ran so coquettishly, and finally revealed his true identity, as well as the eyes just now......
"No, this is just a puppet, the real murderer is someone else!" Xiao Qi hurriedly looked around.
The other person must be nearby, and they can see the situation!
The best place to see it, of course, is the rooftop!
Xiao Qi looked up at the roof, and sure enough, a human head suddenly shrank back!
"Don't want to run!" Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and said, if it weren't for this bastard, maybe he and Qing Ming would have ...... by now
In a fit of rage, Xiao Qi raised his hand and slammed a thunder spell and split the roof in half, making everyone tremble.
"It's a magician!"
"Magician?"
"It's scary!"
Xiao Qi didn't care what others were saying, he hurriedly chased after him, and he was unwilling not to let out this anger.
The figure turned around and ran, and Xiao Qi chased after him.
"Don't try to run, stop me!" Xiao Qi shouted.
What he didn't expect was that the person in front of him actually stood still!
"Little brother, why bother with each other?" the man said helplessly: "You have ruined my good deeds, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet?"
It turned out to be a woman who spoke.
I saw that the man turned around, and when he looked at the moonlight, it was indeed a woman.
The long drift is not beautiful, whether it is the face or the figure, it is very charming.
"Who said it didn't hurt me, if it weren't for you......" Xiao Qi said this, and stopped abruptly!
The woman seemed to suddenly understand something, and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha! I understand, I'm not old, the good fortune is not shallow, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and it's my sister who delays you!"
Xiao Qi was told the central thing by this woman, and his face was as red as a big apple.
The woman suddenly threw over a small bottle, Xiao Qi was stunned, didn't dare to pick it up with her hands, and covered it with her own clothes!
"Little brother, this thing is considered to be a reparation for your sins, don't pester my sister, this thing is a good thing, men can use it! If you want it in the future, you won't have it!" the woman finished and turned to leave.
Xiao Qi didn't know why, pulled the stopper of the small bottle and asked gently, and suddenly blushed.
He lived in the City of Fire and Ice and had studied poison with Cicada Yi for a while, which was not poison, but a strong medicine that enhanced certain functions of men.
"Indecent!" Xiao Qi looked around, saw that there was no one, hurriedly put away the small bottle, and returned to the village.
Many villagers were waiting for Xiao Qi here, and when they saw Xiao Qi coming back, they asked one after another, "My lord, have you caught the traffickers?"
Xiao Qi blushed, embarrassed to say that he had accepted bribes from others, and coughed lightly: "She ran too fast and didn't catch up!"
In the crowd, Qing Ming was also here, and when she saw that Xiao Qi was intact, she was relieved first, and then she suddenly raised her eyebrows when she saw Xiao Qi's appearance, because she found that Xiao Qi was lying, but in public, she did not expose Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi also found Qing Ming, and when the two of them returned to the inn, they were physically and mentally exhausted, and they had no intention of continuing.
"Why did you lie just now?" what the hell happened?" asked Qing Ming suddenly.
