Chapter 27: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
Time passed quickly in the chat, and the villagers ate a very simple dinner, which was just dry food brought with them and a few sips of water. Xiao Tian couldn't eat it, it was too tasteless. So take out your own cooking utensils, cook a pot of rice, cook a pot of cucumber, ham and egg soup, and serve it with mustard, which is a slightly decent simple dinner.
As for the things he took out, although the villagers were a little curious, they could still understand that there was something in the cultivation realm that specialized in storing items, the space ring.
Xiao Tian is a long-distance businessman, and there is a high possibility that he has a space ring, and the most strange thing for them is the ham sausage and mustard. Mustard is better said, it is a vegetable. Ham sausage is said to be meat, but it is actually mixed with most of the flour and other additives, but it tastes very good. The village chief and several villagers were full of praise.
There is also a curious bag of packaging, Xiao Tian only gave the explanation that it is a bag that preserves food, so that the food can be kept for a long time without spoiling, so he didn't explain too much.
They were very interested at first, but when they learned that it was only for the preservation of food, they were no longer interested. It's just to preserve food, it's useless in their eyes.
"Xiao Tian, didn't you say that you have been eating grass root bark for the past few days, why do you have so much food?"
The village chief was a little puzzled at this time, and when they first met, Xiao Tian introduced how miserable he was.
"Village Chief, you don't know, those who do our business may encounter accidents at any time. I just started living on this island, I have no food source, everything has to be planned, otherwise it won't be long before I starve to death. In order to allow myself to live on this island for a longer period of time, I will save money, and I am fortunate to meet you, otherwise I don't know how long I can last on this island alone. ”
Xiao Tian happily explained that the village chief listened to his words and felt that it was very reasonable, if he ate all the food at once, he would definitely not live long. If it were me, most of them would do the same.
Xiao Qi, as a dazzling lion, naturally can't escape the curiosity of the villagers. Its full-body colored hair, plus a cute dog tail, and the lion's body, make people not curious.
"It's not surprising that you haven't seen this lion, it's a breed peculiar to our hometown, and this lion has a nickname: poodle! Because of its cuteness, it's so popular that almost five out of ten families have one of these poodles. I made the artist dye it beautifully, and I think it's festive, you say!"
"Well, yes, yes, it's very pretty!"
"I have seen that lions can grow like this. ”
The villagers responded to Xiao Tian's words while eating, and when they met him today, they had gained more knowledge than they had in the previous ten years.
During dinner, Xiao Qi was not interested in rice, but he was interested in egg soup with a very unique taste, so after eating a small bowl of soup, he went to play on the beach.
And the golden lion who has reached the demon pill stage can open the valley, and there is no need to eat ordinary food at all, and absorbing the aura is enough to maintain the operation of the body. So he didn't eat anything for dinner, and where Xiao Qi was, he followed him diligently.
At night, after the world was quiet, Xiao Tian practiced alone for an hour, and then fell asleep. He didn't worry about the villagers having any crooked thoughts, because not only did Xiao Yin escort him, but also Huangshi, a powerful demon beast lion.
Xiao Tian is not worried about them, it does not mean that there is no one among the villagers who does not covet his good things.
Wang Qingzhi and Luo Qingsheng whispered in the distance:
Wang Qingzhi: "Birthday, do you think this Xiao Tian really has no money?"
Luo Qingsheng: "There must be money, he even has a space ring." ”
Wang: "That's true, but we don't know where his ring is hidden, and we don't know how to use it, so we can only sell it cheaply to others." ”
Luo: "I think his poodle is very good, and I think the rich guys will like it." ”
Wang: "You're right, but the little lion is often followed by a big lion, and it's not easy to start." ”
Luo: "Yes, it would be nice if this businessman was as unlucky as Wang Tian and accidentally killed by a poisonous insect, and his pet would be up to us." ”
Wang: "I can only think like this, when we go back to the village, we will see if there is a chance to steal his poodle, and if it succeeds, we can make a lot of money." ”
When the two men talked, a smile appeared on their faces, dreaming of making a fortune. The two of them have similar names and similar personalities, and often do some stealing things together.
As the saying goes, rare is expensive, a special pet poodle, in the eyes of those rich people is very popular, as long as the hype is good, it is not a problem to sell it for a sky-high price. It's like a Tibetan mastiff, a purebred one, which was auctioned for 30 million yuan that year.
At this moment, Luo Qingsheng and Wang Qingzhi had the idea.
"Hey, yes, sleep!"
"Sleep, sleep!"
The night was spent peacefully, but the conspiracy was gradually brewing in the dark, and some people took risks for a dream of making a fortune.
When they woke up in the morning, they behaved as normal, eating together, walking together, and chatting together.
The two who thought they were well hidden, but they didn't know that when they were chatting in a whisper last night, a pair of sensitive lion ears took their words in their ears and sneered. Just because the two of them ordinary people also want to kidnap the Divine Beast, do you think I am a cat?
Yellowstone didn't know the sinister psychology of humans before, and since what he heard last night, he had begun to believe what his parents said. Among human beings, there is really intrigue, deceit, and for the sake of profit, they can do anything.
Unlike our demon beasts, if you want each other's things, you can kill them directly, and whoever wins the things will belong to you, and you may also leave your life there if you fail. It's brutal, but it's more direct.
On the way back to the village, Xiao Tian occasionally talked to them about some customs and customs, and it was necessary to learn more about the life of mortals in the cultivation realm. And they sometimes ask what kind of place Xiao Tian's hometown is, and he has to make up some things to deal with it.
After spending more than a day on the road, a group of several people plus two lions, they were finally able to see where the village was, and it didn't take long for them to return to the village.
There are more than 50 families in this village, and a total of two teams of people were selected to explore the mountains, and the other team was more lucky, only one person was bitten and did not lose his life, and he returned half a day later than the pair of people and horses of the village chief.
All the people who survived returned to the village and told their families the horrific stories of the mountains.
Some people rejoice, others are sad. The one who came back was glad that he was still alive and reunited with his family, but the lonely grave left in the mountain brought endless sorrow to his family.
The mountains are so dangerous, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and the villagers are very taboo about the mountains.
