XXVIII. Fan Meeting
"Old and weak soldiers, widows and weak children. ”
A dozen or so people were dressed in tattered animal skins, and none of them were young men, old with wrinkled faces, pale hair, missing arms and broken fingers. The young face is yellow and thin, and he stands barefoot in front of the giant python with his pelvis against his bare feet, and he does not dare to look directly.
is as hungry and skinny as Chu Baizhi, you can imagine how miserable it was.
"The snake god, what a coincidence, the meat has just been cooked, and it is still steaming. An old man with thinning hair and a long beard standing out of the crowd and staring at the little man on the top of the blood python's head, his hands in the most delicate wooden basin, filled with sparsely boiled pieces of meat.
The crowd behind him didn't even dare to raise their heads, and the old man saw that the snake god did not pounce into the wooden basin to eat as usual, and his heart was full of doubts, and he was about to ask if it was unappetizing, only to see the snake god turn into a blue light and rush backwards.
A thin young man, his strange clothes exude a foul smell, this young man looks ordinary, but his eyes under the sword eyebrows are extremely bright, obviously in front of him, as if he is covered in a layer of fog and can't see clearly, which is incomprehensible.
And the snake god was resting on the young man's shoulder, motionless.
Chu Bai looked at the old man in ancient costume in front of him and said, "Uncle, goo..... Well, I don't know if I can enjoy the thin soup and drink it. The growl in his stomach made him a little ugly.
The old man looked at the snake god with embarrassment in his puzzled eyes: "This..."
Chu Bai squeezed out a smile from his face that he thought was very good-looking: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." ”
Then he picked up the wooden basin in the old man's hand, drank a small sip regardless of whether it was hot or not, tore off a few strands of meat foam from the meat piece and poured it into his mouth, and forcibly refused to eat it.
I couldn't eat quickly after being hungry for a long time, and then put the wooden basin back in the old man's hand, and it was estimated that in another day or two with the elixir, my body would be able to recover to a state of complete victory.
And when Mi'er saw Chu Bai's lower mouth, it directly turned into a blue light and drilled into the pelvis of the crowd.
Chu Bai's body also drilled out a golden branch and plunged into the wooden basin, and the old man suddenly exclaimed when he saw this scene:
"It turned out to be the tree god, the tree god has appeared, quick, come and meet the tree god. ”
"Grandpa Dryad, bless us. ”
The old man hurriedly put down the wooden basin in his hand, took a small step back, and knelt on the ground with a flutter, followed by more than a dozen people who knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and praying.
It was too late for Chu Bai to stop him, so he could only hurriedly dodge, looking at a few old men with white hair who kept kowtowing, thinking about how many years he would have to live.
Hurriedly asked Xiao Jin to help you up, he was really weak, and he had no strength at all.
"Ahem, ahem, uncle, why don't you take me in and have a look?" Seeing that everyone was dragged up by the golden branch one by one, he said slowly, and the wrinkled old man opened his mouth with few teeth and showed a smiling face, leading him into the village.
Chu Bai asked Xiao Jin as he walked, what was going on with this tree god.
It turned out that these people were all Xiao Jin and Mi'er who met in Lanruo Temple a year ago, and Xiao Jin taught his grandmother a lesson and saved them casually.
Afraid of disturbing the sleeping Chu Bai, he threw it here, and because of the temptation of cooked food, he helped these people resist several waves of fierce beasts, so this group of people was worshiped as the snake god and the tree god.
Also because they have to protect Chu Bai at all times, Xiao Jin and Mi'er are not willing to go to this village at all, resulting in rescue is often very slow, so there are only a dozen people left in the village of dozens of people.
Chu Bai heard Xiao Jin say intermittently, and understood the reason in his heart, and immediately sighed.
Following behind the old man, the five or six-year-old children secretly looked at Chu Bai with wide eyes, and immediately turned their heads whenever Chu Bai looked at them.
Although Chu Bai showed a harmless smile, it was more ugly than crying in the eyes of the child.
"Not bad. Chu Bai praised the village against his will.
In addition to the fence made of sharpened wood, there was only a row of a dozen thatched huts on the eaves, and the eaves were hung with pickled animal meat.
Originally, the old man wanted to take Chu Bai into the hut to sit, but he refused, and came directly to the back door of the village by the river, and then said:
"Uncle, let's take someone back to eat first. ”
"Hey, good, good. The old man saw that Chu Bai wanted to freshen up, so he immediately led the villagers into the village and closed the gate.
Chu Bai looked at the crystal clear river that was five meters wide, ripped off the cloth that stuck to his body like skin, and slowly entered the river water to wash.
"Huh" the river water is cool, and there is still some cool breeze in spring at this time.
After a long toss, the flowing river water was finally free of dirt, Chu Bai lay quietly in the river, his body enjoying the coldness of the river, looking at the sky sometimes like a beast, and like a white cloud on the neck of a deer.
An hour later.
The old man brought a hide from the back door, and it could be seen that the brown bear skin looked like clothes compared to what they were wearing.
After Chu Bai didn't thank him politely, he wore it just right on his body.
"I don't know what to call you?" Chu Bai asked deliberately.
"The tree god, the villain Fan Hui, is a big Han people, the ancestors originally opened a medicine hall, knew a few big characters, and also had a lot of research on medical herbs, but this world has changed dramatically, the death of the old and the young of the family, scattered, and now only the old and the old and weak are left here to survive. ”
Fan Lao said that in the end, his hand bones wiped tears from his eyes, and then as if he thought of something, he knelt directly on the ground and said: "Tree God, for the sake of the villains, the old and the weak and lonely, this time we must stay, even if the villain is broken, he is willing to do anything, I only hope that the tree god can protect the lives of the dozen or so people in the village!"
As Fan Lao stumbled on the ground, intermittent cries rang out in the village.
Chu Bai hurriedly asked Xiao Jin to pull Fan Lao up, feeling a little distressed in his heart about how to kneel down at every turn, but said: "Fan Lao, you don't have to be like this, you won't leave for the time being." ”
Fan Lao got a response, and immediately turned his sadness into joy, and the grief just now was long gone, and there was a cheer in the village, as if he had won a battle.
Chu Bai also smiled, thinking back to his past, but no one could be so happy because of his words.
"Old Fan, let's go around first?" Chu Bai changed the subject.
"Hey, the Dryad, please come with me. After walking a few steps away, Chu Bai said to Fan Lao:
"Old Fan, in fact, I am not a tree god. ”
Fan Lao was incredulous: "But, but ....."
Chu Bai nodded: "But the snake god and tree god in your mouth, listen to me." ”
I saw Chu Bai stretching out his palm, and Mi'er was spitting the letter in the palm of his hand with his tail cocked, and then turned into a blue light and drilled into the black hair in a circle around Chu Bai's neck.
Fan Lao was even more surprised, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the once invincible snake god in front of him actually intimate with the young man in front of him like a pet.
"My name is Chu Bai, but Fan Lao doesn't need to call me a tree god in the future. Looking at the weak old man's expression from surprise to surprise, Chu Bai paused and said, "Old Fan, continue to accompany me." ”
"Hey, good, good, Chu.. Young Master Chu. Fan Lao's steps seemed to have become much brisker, and he followed closely behind Chu Bai, constantly introducing the situation around the village.
