Chapter 024: Strange Pony White Shadow
Du Xiaobai was slapped by Yun Yun like this, and instantly felt a stinging pain in his bones like a pinprick, and he couldn't help it, grinning and covering his shoulders and letting out a long snort.
The whole car was startled by Du Xiaobai's voice, and even scared the white shadows running in front of them, and Yun Yun around them was even more stunned, and said suspiciously: "Brother Du...... It's not that exaggerated, I'm very light and patted......"
"I ...... I know you're not trying to ...... But I don't know why it hurts...... "Du Xiaobai put his head on his knees, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his head.
Yun Yun didn't look like he was pretending, and was a little overwhelmed, and explained to Xiao Yuyao, who turned back to the front: "I...... I really don't have to ......."
Pei Qingqing interjected: "He may be recovering from a serious illness, and his body is still recovering, so it's not surprising that he can't withstand your strength." Yun Yun Xiaocang, you guys are joking with Xiaobai now, pay attention to the scale, be careful not to hurt him. You guys get ready, we're going to Snowflake Valley ahead, and we're going to turn a corner. ”
Yun Yun and Xiao Cang nodded and said that they understood, Pei Qingqing still wanted to say a few words, only to hear Xiao Yuyao shout loudly: "Look, everyone, what's going on in front?"
When everyone heard Xiao Yuyao's shout, they all looked ahead.
I saw that at the intersection of the Yang Road nearly two kilometers ahead, countless figures were gathering in groups, slowly squirming in the dark, and they looked like a long worm from a distance.
The most surprised person was Pei Qingqing, just now he rushed back to Feiyi Huayuan from the ferry of the Lichuan River, passing by the intersection of Deyang Road, how deserted and bleak it was, it didn't take a while, it became crowded, what happened?
Since the Second World War passed, it has been rare to see such a bustling scene at the intersection of Deyang Road.
Pei Qingqing tightened the reins, slowed down the speed of the white shadow, and slowly approached the intersection of the Yang Road. Half a kilometer away, Pei Qingqing stopped the car. Several people quietly watched the crowd in front of them.
The crowd was very large, and in addition to the people gathered in Snowflake Valley, it seemed that there was a long line stretching behind. Most of them were spirits, and there were many scattered leaders on the outskirts of the crowd, as well as soldiers to maintain order. Wearing red helmets and light armor, the soldiers were armed with bows, crossbows, knives, guns and various weapons, aiming at the crowd.
Although there were many souls in the middle, they seemed to be very well-behaved, moving their legs quietly, and only a few guides gave some scolds from time to time to keep these spirits moving in order.
"Could it be that there is another large-scale war in the world?" After watching for a long time, Xiao Yuyao said to herself.
"It looks very similar, in recent years, the number of people who can pass through the Soul Devouring Flower Area has become less and less, and now there are so many souls suddenly pouring in, and even the Fire Dragon Clan has sent so many troops to maintain order, it seems that in the human world, either natural disasters have occurred or man-made disasters have occurred......," Pei Qingqing said earnestly.
In the back carriage, Du Xiaobai was also watching this very spectacular scene, for him, everything he saw now was fresh, unheard of and unprecedented. He has no right to speak, only to wait and see, silently remember everything that happened, and gradually become familiar with this new world.
"So how are we going to get there? They blocked the whole intersection. Yun Yun said worriedly.
"I can only wait and see, look at the direction of their team, it should be to go to the Lechuan River ferry, so many souls, they all pass, and then get on the boat, it will take a long time, and after crossing the river, it will take some time at the mother-in-law's place. Xiao Yuyao looked ahead and said softly.
"Mother-in-law is busy, and I don't know if her medicinal herbs are enough, so many people need a lot of soup...... Pei Qingqing went down to the ground and stretched his old waist.
"A few days ago, my mother-in-law sent someone to order the Broken Memory Grass, and I sent all the inventory of the Spirit Butterfly over, it should be enough," Xiao Yuyao also got down from her seat and patted the dust on her body, "Now many herbs are getting less and less on the market, especially the raw materials for these special medicines." Teacher, there has been a strange thing lately. Some time ago, there were often unknown people who went to the small shops under Lingdie to buy a large number of medicinal materials, no matter what type, they were in their purchase list, and the prices offered by these buyers were difficult to refuse. Although these shops made money, they were also swept away, and they were all closed before there was a follow-up supplement of medicinal materials. ”
Du Xiaobai in the back compartment also went down to the ground with the support of Yun Yun Xiaocang, he felt a lot better, and unconsciously, he was completely accustomed to the gravity of the underworld.
Xiao Yuyao continued to say to Pei Qingqing: "Fortunately, some big stores have not encountered such high-priced sweeps, firstly, they are not short of this money, and secondly, the entry and exit of their medicinal materials are controlled by us to a certain extent. But I always think it's a little strange......"
Pei Qingqing touched his beard and said, "Yaoyao, you don't have to worry too much. As you said, such a thing will not hurt the bones of the spirit butterfly, in recent years, the wealth of the underworld has become increasingly unequal, it is inevitable that some people are forced to make a living, become speculators, these people should only want small profits, not the ...... of the climate"
After hearing this, Xiao Yuyao nodded ambiguously.
And Du Xiaobai, who was behind them, almost knelt on the ground with a weak leg after listening to Pei Qingqing's words.
Du Xiaobai, who has been immersed in business competition data and financial statements for a long time, is well aware of the cruelty of business warfare and the laws of the market. From Xiao Yuyao's words, he already felt that it was not a simple speculation, but that there must be a demon when something went wrong.
If you can't do a monopoly, no one will be able to hoard at a high price. In his opinion, if these people are not sick in the brain, they will act in the future. However, Pei Lao, who was relatively simple-minded, did not realize the hidden crisis inside.
It's just that Du Xiaobai feels that now is not the time to speak for himself. I have limited knowledge of the underworld, and so far I only know that the underworld is a society with many people, and there are many structures that are completely different from those in human legends, and as for its social system, humanistic concepts and communication rules, it is completely unclear.
Perhaps, what Pei Lao said was correct, didn't Miss Xiao refute it again.
Just as Du Xiaobai's mind was in a hurry, Bai Ying, who had been standing quietly, suddenly raised his front hooves, and his nose let out a heart-rending cry, and his whole body stood up completely upward.
Everyone standing beside Bai Ying was taken aback and took a few steps back.
The white shadow's hissing rose and fell, but it was very regular, and somehow, when its cry reached Du Xiaobai's ears, it became a sentence that he could understand-"The river will rise and fall!"
When these four words reached his ears, Du Xiaobai was a little dazed, he turned his head left and right to look around, and saw that everyone else was surprised by Bai Ying's sudden irritability, and did not speak. In the end, he had to look at the white shadow who was still raising his hooves, his eyebrows furrowed, and he secretly said in his heart: You can't talk like this, are you talking?
At this time, Du Xiaobai carefully looked at the white shadow. White Shadow is a very strong white horse, with a white mane on his back and a strong and well-proportioned tendon on his body. Unlike normal horses, White Shadow has fiery red eyes, slightly longer ears than normal horses, and longer legs, with muscular muscles that make its limbs look infinitely explosive.
Pei Qingqing tried his best to appease the white shadow, and the hissing sound of the white shadow also attracted the attention of the crowd in front of him. Some of the soldiers of the Fire Dragon Clan who were leading the way and maintaining order all looked over to this side, and when they saw that it was the people of the underworld, they thought that the horses were frightened, and continued to turn back to maintain order in the soul group.
Du Xiaobai's ears have always been neighing from the white shadow, "The river is going to rise", and the question in his heart couldn't bear it, so he asked: "Old Pei, Miss Xiao, Yun Yun Xiaocang, can't you hear this horse talking?"
When the four of them heard Du Xiaobai's words, they all looked at him, and the expressions on their faces were all question marks.
"You, what are you talking about?" Pei Qingqing felt that there was something wrong with his ears just now.
"The horse seems to be talking...... It kept shouting, 'The river is going to rise,' and I don't know what that meant, but I could hear it. Du Xiaobai said as he drew a circle on the side of his ear with his fingers to show that he could indeed hear.
After listening to his words, the expressions on the faces of the four of them were extremely rich.
Just when Pei Qingqing wanted to step forward to touch Du Xiaobai if he had a fever, Bai Ying, who had been restless, suddenly quieted down, slowly walked to Du Xiaobai's side, gently rubbed Du Xiaobai's arm with his head, and made a whining sound in his mouth.
The corners of Du Xiaobai's mouth rose slightly, glanced at Xiao Yuyao, and then gently stroked the white and smooth mane on Bai Ying's body with his hand, and laughed out loud.
Four people, you look at me, I look at you, the expression on your face is even more wonderful than just now.
Pei Qingqing and Xiao Yuyao glanced at each other, and they both saw the same information in each other's eyes: This kid doesn't look like he's pretending, but how can this be true?
Xiao Yuyao's heart was full of questions, but seeing that Bai Ying and Du Xiaobai were like glue like a pair of old friends who had not heard from each other for a long time, and thinking that there were too many bizarre things in this man that could not be measured by common sense, she felt that even if it was difficult to believe, she might try to choose to believe.
"You say, Bai Ying said 'the river is going to rise'?" Xiao Yuyao tried to ask.
"It turns out that it's called White Shadow, and it does keep shouting that the river is going to rise, but just now it seems to say that you are beautiful......" Du Xiaobai said with a little crying and laughing, "It seems that our White Shadow has entered puberty......"
Xiao Yuyao was stunned, and a red cloud instantly flew on her face.
You colored horse......
