Chapter 3: Killing the Snake
Since coming to the county office, Gu Ming has always had a feeling of worry, this feeling is very, very uncomfortable, as if something bad will happen.
And as time passed, this feeling of unease grew deeper.
It was an unprecedented feeling, even when my parents were killed, and there was no such intense uneasiness.
It's a simple job, and he can't even calm down to complete it.
"Smack"
Someone opened the door.
I saw the county lieutenant Qin Tai walking in with a cup of wolfberry tea.
Qin Tai was thirty years old, and he was born dignified and majestic.
"Your Excellency. ”
Gu Ming greeted respectfully.
"How's it going at home?"
"Thank you for your care, my sister has recovered. ”
Gu Ming replied a little absent-mindedly, and Qin Tai quickly realized that he was unusual.
"What's wrong, you're not feeling well?"
Qin Tai looked at Gu Ming kindly.
"No, it's just ......"
"Needless to say, you have something on your mind," Qin Tai's eyes were like torches: "There is not much to do here in the county government, if there is anything urgent, go and do it, the official will allow you to take half a day off." ”
Gu Ming's heart was moved, although he told himself that he couldn't slack off this job because of that uneasy feeling for no reason.
But it was precisely this feeling of uneasiness that grew worse and more unbearable, as if a great calamity would happen if he did not return home.
Therefore, Gu Ming no longer shirked, and said, "Thank you, my lord, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”
Gu Ming thanked him and turned around to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Qin Tai.
Before Gu Ming could react, he found that there was an extra cold thing in his hand.
It was a piece of broken silver.
"Your sister is recovering from a serious illness, so take the money and make up for her. ”
Gu Ming was very moved when he saw Qin Tai's move, looked at Qin Tai deeply, didn't say much, and respectfully bowed to Qin Tai.
......
He swore that he would repay the kindness of the county lieutenant in the future.
Don't go past Qin Tai, and when he returned home, he found that the house was empty, Gu Ming's heart was not good, and he looked for Gu Nian'er everywhere.
Fortunately, Aunt Wang, the maid in the mansion next door, saw Gu Nian'er in the morning, and exchanged a few words with her, and learned the news that Gu Nian'er went to Jifeng Town.
When Gu Ming heard this, he didn't dare to delay, and rushed to Jifeng Town.
............
"It's been a long time since I've eaten such a pretty chick!"
The little boy looked at Gu Nian'er with satisfaction, and after finishing speaking, he revealed his hideous face.
One of his originally cute little faces continued to twist and deform, and finally turned into an inverted triangle shape, and the pupils in a pair of large eyes contracted infinitely, and finally condensed into a slit, revealing a large area of eye whites, cyan scales also appeared one after another, and a forked slender tongue kept spitting out.
A cute little boy turned into a terrifying python in an instant!
Gu Nian'er was stunned by the scene in front of her, and sat directly on the ground, her eyes widened, and she was full of fear.
The python looked at the frightened paralyzed Gu Nian'er with satisfaction, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced on Gu Nian'er, ready to swallow her in one gulp!
It's just that suddenly a stone flew out of nowhere, and it hit the head of the snake impartially.
"He Fangxiao!"
The python was furious, and it felt that its dignity had been trampled on.
I saw a young man in the distance, gasping for breath, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes.
He also had a stone in his hand.
This person is Gu Ming.
"Let go of that girl!"
Gu Ming yelled, waking Gu Nian'er from fear.
With tears in her eyes, when she saw Gu Ming, it was as if she saw the sunshine in winter, dispelling all her fears.
"Brother!"
Gu Nian'er stood up, ran to Gu Ming, hugged him, buried her head in his chest and released tears.
Gu Ming's shouting woke up Gu Nian'er, and also stunned the python, so much so that it ignored Gu Nian'er who had escaped.
It was as if it had never encountered such a situation, and in its impression, these mortals saw themselves, shouldn't they be scared into fools, and wait for themselves to enjoy themselves?
What a daring human being!
"Mortal, can you see me?"
The big python temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and asked towards Gu Ming.
Gu Ming was confused by the question of the python, but he still said stiffly: "I'm not blind, of course I can see you ugly monster!"
Gu Ming's words made the python laugh angrily, and he no longer bothered to think about why Gu Ming was able to break through his own barrier to see himself, but stared at him viciously.
"It's okay, just treat yourself as a meal. ”
With that, the big python quickly pounced on Gu Ming's brothers and sisters.
"Run!"
Gu Ming pushed Gu Nian'er away, and at the same time threw the stone in his hand at the python, attracting its attention.
Without Gu Ming's anger, the python directly skipped Gu Nian'er, twisted his body, and rushed towards Gu Ming quickly.
When Gu Ming saw the big python rushing towards him, he also began to run.
The python was chasing Gu Ming unscrupulously, but when he saw the direction of Gu Ming's escape, his figure couldn't help but froze.
This is the town of Jifeng, and in front of it is a market full of people.
And the direction in which Gu Ming fled was the direction where the bazaar was located.
"This human is so cunning!"
The python quickly guessed Gu Ming's intentions and wanted to lure him to the bazaar and cause a riot, and then he would take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Gu Ming's intention is exactly like this, from the question before the python to the later Gu Ming observed that the passers-by turned a blind eye to the situation here, it is enough to show that this python must have cast some kind of magic spell, so that others can not see what is happening here.
However, since the stone in his hand can hit it, it means that it is likely to cast an illusion, which can only charm the eyes and ears of others, and the things in the outside world can still affect him.
Therefore, if it dares to chase and kill itself, it will definitely cause a riot, and the chances of its own escape will be greatly improved.
Seeing this, the python was ready to change its target and kill Gu Nian'er.
However, what disappointed it was that Gu Nian'er was very clever, and after a while, she had run away without a trace.
Looking back at the cunning human, he found that he had also disappeared into the sea of people.
"It's really annoying to me!"
The python is not annoyed, recently human monks have been killing monsters everywhere, he has not been out for a long time, and today he really can't bear it, and wants to hunt some game to fill his stomach.
As long as it doesn't reveal its true body, it just pretends to be a human to hunt, and it doesn't use demonic arts, it won't release much demonic energy, and it will be difficult for others to discover it except for those who have advanced cultivation.
Originally, it was planned to do so, but when it saw Gu Nian'er, even more crazy and bold thoughts came to mind.
It hadn't tasted human flesh for a long time, not to mention that Gu Nian'er was different from the rough village girls it had eaten before, this was a beautiful girl with a lot of water! This undoubtedly aroused its thoughts of committing crimes.
Turned into a child, waited for her unpreparedness, swallowed her in one gulp, and then quickly retreated, even if there was a demonic qi released, attracting human monks, he himself had already fled.
This is the plan of the python, I have to say, its plan is still very thoughtful, if there is no human monk here, maybe it can really be able to achieve its goal.
However, the only loophole in this plan is that the location where it crouches Gu Nian'er is too close to the crowded Jifeng Town Market. However, this was also a last resort, and she was already close to Jifeng Town when it found Gu Nian'er.
But even with this loophole, the python almost succeeded, but the hateful human who popped out of nowhere completely disrupted his plans.
"Bastard, I remember you, don't fall into my hands!"
The big python kept Gu Ming's appearance in his heart and stared viciously at the dense crowd in front of him.
This place is not suitable for a long time, recently the human monks are like crazy everywhere to kill monsters, the tragic situation of several fox friends and dog friends I know is still vivid, the time for exposing his true body is not short, the demonic spirit has been diffused, since the plan is in the soup, it is better to go first.
The python was about to run away, but it suddenly turned its head sharply, and its eyes were full of horror.
"Not good!"
I saw dozens of plum blossoms blooming in the distance, dancing rapidly, intertwining with each other, condensing into a long sword, wrapped in the momentum of destroying the world and the earth, and shooting towards it at great speed.
