Chapter 18: The Story of the Snail Demon (2)
Jia Rong placed the box on the table and opened it.
A beautiful white snail shell appears in front of you. The woman pounced, held the snail shell in her arms, and stroked it, with tears in her eyes.
After a long while, the woman came back to her senses, bowed deeply to Jiarong, got up and handed over a money bag: "Thank you, little mage, these small coins will be given to you as a reward." ”
Jiarong looked at the woman's face full of tears, thin and pitiful, and couldn't bear to accept it, so he hurriedly refused.
"Take it, I'll go back at once, human coins are of no use to me. The woman probably guessed Jiarong's thoughts, she turned her head and wiped away her tears, "I also want to ask the little mage for a favor." ”
Jiarong took the money bag, "Say it." ”
"Please help put the box back in the cupboard. ”
Jiarong picked up the box and put it back in the cupboard, and closed the door of the cupboard.
"Alright. She turned and saw that the woman was gone, leaving only a large white snail on the ground and a pile of clothes.
"Ask the little mage to take me to the lake and put me in the lake. A head the size of an orange sticks out of the snail shell, and its face is still the same as that of the woman just now, but it looks much better without the sad color just now.
She's not dressed!
No, she's a snail now!
Jiarong is at war with heaven and man in his heart!
Well, just a snail. She stretched out her hand and carefully picked up the white snail, although the shell felt cold to the hand, Jiarong felt that it was like a fire.
"Is this lake safe, do you want me to send you away?" Jia Rong thought that the snail demon had been caught by a human mage before.
"No, the other end of this lake leads directly to Mosquito Bay, and I am a snail now, so I can go back by myself." ”
"Then I'll put you in my backpack for now, so that passers-by don't see it. "Jia Rong feels like a thief now, or the kind that steals people.
"Okay. The snail banshee agreed, and withdrew her head into her shell.
After putting the white snail in his backpack, Jiarong prepared to leave quickly. Fortunately, no one found out, and the husband didn't come home suddenly, otherwise it would be bad to find out that he "stole" his wife.
However, the Earth's "Murphy's Law" seems to be at work here, when a voice comes from outside the door: "Brother Chanton, why don't you drink together at home?"
This voice is a little familiar, as if it is the farmer Li Dafu who wants to catch a water banshee as his wife. Jiarong didn't close the courtyard door when he followed the snail banshee into the house just now, so Li Dafu had already walked in by himself.
Jiarong swept around, and found that the door was not closed, the windows were closed well, the house was not big and there was no place to hide, and when he heard the footsteps of "tapping and tapping" getting closer and closer, Jiarong had to recite a wind mantra. A small tornado suddenly blew from where she stood, and her figure disappeared with it, and when she reappeared, she was already outside the courtyard gate. But she didn't dare to stay, and several wind spells flashed towards the poplar forest outside the lake.
Li Dafu only felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and shivered, "The wind is blowing, is it going to change the sky?" Strange, no one answered, but the door was open. ”
When I entered the door, there was no one in the room, and it was quiet.
"Brother Qian, are you at home?" Li Dafu saw the clothes on the ground, he tiptoed over, stretched out two fingers to pick up the clothes.
"It's terrible, even nei clothes are taken off here. Thinking to himself, he put the garment to his nose and sniffed it vigorously, as if there was still a woman's body fragrance on it. He rolled his eyes, thinking that Chanton used to show off how virtuous and obedient his daughter-in-law was in front of his bachelor, and now he wasn't stealing at home?
"Catch the thief!" he shouted, shouting as he rushed inside.
......
At this time, Jiarong had already come to the poplar forest by the lake, and saw that there was no one around, so he opened his backpack, took out the white snail, and gently put it into the water.
"Little Mage, thank you for saving me. You are the first mage willing to help me. In the past, I have also asked human mages for help, but they were unwilling, and one even told Chanton, who beat me up again. The snail banshee stuck her head out, but now it was a snail, no longer a human head.
"Oh?" Jia Rong was in a trance, was it strange to see a snail's head sticking out of the shell, or was it strange to see a snail spitting out human language?
After thinking for a while, he came to his senses, "Then why did you ask me for help just now?"
"I see that you have a winged rabbit, and the winged rabbit is very sensitive to good and evil, and will not let the wicked approach him. So I believe you are a good person. ”
Oh, I see. It turned out to be the good karma that the winged rabbit brought to himself.
Jiarong patted the winged rabbit on the shoulder and decided to reward it later. Suddenly, I remembered another thing: "Wait." ”
The white snail, who was about to follow the water, turned around and cocked his head.
"Will you go back to take revenge in the future?" Jia Rong thought at this time, if one day the snail banshee wanted to go back to take revenge on that scumbag who loved domestic violence, it was estimated that that person would die a miserable death.
"I was able to leave with the help of the little mage this time, and I decided to stay away from the human world in the future and no longer have anything to do with humans. Of course, that includes him. After a moment of silence, bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the water, and the voice of the snail banshee came through the water.
"No, you misunderstood me. It's not that I won't let you retaliate, I just want to remind you that it's okay to beat him out of anger, just don't kill him. "Jiarong is in favor of repaying grievances with resentment, but he doesn't want the snail banshee to be too heavy, which may provoke karma," or let him be punished a little, and he will be pulled with bird when he goes out, and his hands will hurt when he wants to hit someone. ”
A series of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, and "Grunt" was very cheerful, like a burst of laughter, "Little mage, you make me think that there are still good people in the human race." May the true god bless you!" After saying that, the white snail dived into the water and disappeared.
Jiarong sat down by the lake and took out the money bag given by the snail banshee.
The money bag is made of fine linen, embroidered with blue-purple barracuda grass, which has been somewhat worn, but it can still be seen that the stitches are smooth and delicate, and I can't help but sigh.
A snail, with such dexterous hands and feet. But the people who met her did not cherish it.
opened the money bag and poured out twenty-seven moon coins and one hundred and fifty-two copper coins from it, both old and new, and it was estimated that the snail banshee had saved it for a long time.
"Winged rabbit, we're rich! Let's go to town, and I'll buy you lots and lots of delicious fruits!"
