Chapter 41: It's Time to Eat 1
It's the fifth day.
They looked for the old man who had only to ride a horse for three days, but too many things had happened, which complicated some simple things and caused a lot of trouble.
The biggest trouble is that they killed a government official.
This is a capital crime to kill the Nine Clans. But they didn't worry too much about it, as if they didn't pay much attention to it. It is probably that the officers and soldiers did not know their names, but it is most likely that they were young and ignorant, experienced little sophistication, and retained the curiosity of primitive people. To say that they are in a high realm is too reluctant, even if an executioner cuts off a criminal who has committed a heinous crime, the fear in his heart is also a faint pain, and he trembles in the dark for a certain period of time!
But, no matter what, it's a good thing that they can keep a healthy heart.
Anyway, on the second day of the party, they said goodbye to Brother Xiaohu and Lao Long and continued on the road.
The farewell scene is very simple and ordinary, there are no tears and no reluctance, just a slight smile, a wave of the hand, and the parting scene is considered a curtain call.
This is not to say that they are not deeply emotional, but parting must not always be similar to the "ten-mile long steps" and "tears", and parting must be free and easy!
To be free, it is better to have a fast horse, then raise your whip!
The horses were like the wind, and the surrounding trees and laughter flew backwards, and soon disappeared, and before they knew it, the tall buildings not far away came into their eyes, lined up in arcs.
It's a small town called Tongmo Town.
The "demon" here refers to the political, economic, and cultural center of the demon domain, and the devil's holy land and paradise "Dark and Evil Siege City".
In other words, people outside the Demon Domain want to enter the center of the Demon Domain, and Tongmo Town is a good choice.
"After this town," Silly Xingyao pointed out, "To the north, after a few villages and forests, it is estimated that the day after tomorrow, you will reach Fat Sheep Mountain~"
"Do I have to get through this town?" Tao Xiaozhi scratched his head and said, "Is it okay to take a detour?"
"Of course not!" said Huoxing angrily, "This is the only way to go to Fat Sheep Mountain, just like must come out!"
Silly Xingxing bit his index finger and said: "Why do you want to take a detour? You can also take a detour, but it will take more than ten days~"
Tao Xiaozhi smiled weirdly: "Don't forget what we did before!"
Huoxing said angrily: "Don't go if you're afraid of death, let's go back!"
Silly Star smiled: "As long as we pay a little attention, others will not recognize us, look at our current embarrassment"
Yes, they are no better than beggars: their clothes are ragged and unkempt, and their hair is simply messy after the action of the lightning rod, like a big dark cloud floating on their heads, which is very spectacular!
Silly Star is quite neat, and she is dressed very suspiciously, probably because she was lost in her primary crush!
Looking at their appearance, probably even the old man with pigtails can't recognize them, and it can be regarded as an excuse to pass through Tongmo Town with peace of mind!
So, they made their hair even more unseemly, slapped their horses forward, and marched towards the first level of the demon!
Before they reached the gate of Tongmo Town, someone beckoned to them from afar!
It's strange, they didn't make an appointment, why did someone come to receive them? Could it be a misunderstanding or a trap?
But the fire-eyed Venus-like four-cornered eyes reassuringly told everyone that it was just a half-baked person, Brother Xiaohu
Why is Brother Little Tiger here? Silly Star immediately threw the question over, Brother Little Tiger touched his chin and smiled evilly: "I miss you."
Huoxing glared angrily, burst out with sparks in his eyes, and said angrily: "Damn bitch in cat skin, be careful that I give you a few slaps and beat your fart in the mouth so that even your mother can't recognize it, like two braised pig intestines!"
Brother Xiaohu was also angry, holding the beast hunting fork and scolding: "Mom, if it wasn't for the little foolish girl to help you last time, I would have broken your bones a long time ago!
The best way to vent the bird anger in the stomach is to fight! However, the stupid star stands among them, no matter how anxious she is, she has to hold back her authority, which is also recognized by everyone, who calls her a cute and beautiful stupid star who is loved by everyone
Brother Xiaohu continued: "Actually, I really want to go to Fat Sheep Mountain with you to join you, it really makes me happy, and I can eat delicious barbecue and play interesting games...... So, I decided: go to Fat Sheep Mountain with you, anyway, I want to go there for a walk!"
Brother Xiaohu smiled reluctantly, and smiled weirdly, as if he owed them a huge debt.
Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "That's good, anyway, we've been unlucky lately, and we've been sharing an extra portion of the moldy 'bread', which is called 'happy'......"
Brother Xiaohu wanted to smile bitterly, but due to the lack of "artistry" in his acting skills, he looked more like a treacherous smile: "When you meet me, you will come and go from time to time to make a fortune and peach blossoms, like a rolling river!"
People who love to pat on the back are definitely welcome people, because there is hardly anyone in the world who doesn't like to listen to good words!
Therefore, except for the fact that Huoxing is not very happy, the return of Brother Xiaohu still brings a lot of joy!
While talking, suddenly a real person neighed, an earthquake-like "rumbling" sound, with the rolling dust, from a distance came to the sound like thunder, the horse neighed like the wind, the smoke was like a cloud, such a stormy momentum, of course, attracted a lot of attention, Tao Xiaozhi They are the best example to be more curious, to meet the unexpected impact of the sight!
The first to break through the dust is a horse's brown complexion, throbbing muscles, flowing mane, loud neighing, of course, what is more noticeable is that the "tide" on his back, snow-white complexion, and a pair of oil black armor form a sharp contrast, burly, strong physique, golden lips and eyebrows are very long, hanging down to the chin, floating with the wind, very elegant and funny, but the face is very dignified, full of murderous aura, so that it is easy to find a balance point in people's vision!
The third creature that came into people's eyes was like a horse but not a horse, but the head of a monster like a horse, with a sharp horn on its head, shaped like a crescent moon and sharp like a scimitar; its neck was particularly long, similar to that of a giraffe, with a unique pattern, and probably some complicated relationship in blood relations; its body was stronger than that of a cow, full of muscles, like a thick cloud for people to look up to, with three legs side by side on its front chest, and two legs on its back but no tailοΌ
This is the Horse Beast King, a kind of strange horse in the demon world, and a good land vehicle for carrying people and goods.
The owner on the back of the horse beast king is a monster man (the so-called 'monster people' are those people who are based on the characteristics of people and things, and the 'things' here are 'objects', such as knives, stones, etc.): the vase-like head, with blue and white patterns, a handful of orchids inside, but tied together with ropes, probably for fear of being blown off by the wind; on the blue and white vase, there is only a pair of thick ink-like eyes, and the lines are very thick, as if the work of a careless painter. Except for the head, the other parts are almost human features, and the body is draped in a cyan robe, and the wind is close to the clothes, highlighting his skinny bones, which is very inappropriate!
The monster man pretended to be very chic, and the blue and white porcelain actually turned, very funny, as if he was showing off his excellent clown talent to people, and he also waved to people like a grandstander!
The third man's momentum came even more violently: his mount was a frog beast king, that is, a brown toad as huge as a house, but this toad was covered with thorny pentagonal armor, hard as a rock; it weighed five or six hundred pounds, but it was agile, and could jump several feet at a time, and travel thousands of miles a day, tirelessly; when it jumped, a huge noise was inevitable, and the earth seemed to be cracked! On its back was a huge saddle horse, like a huge cradle, and of course there was a man on the "basket", the Warcraft Man! He, like a bull-like body, more than nine feet tall, is simply a giant! He, rhinoceros beast body, face like a rhinoceros, the difference is that he has no nose instead of a sharp horn, which is easy to explain why he has no horns on his head Of course, without horns, it will be more convenient to wear a helmet, and he did this: wearing a silver helmet on his head, wearing silver armor, two wing-like hard objects stretching out from his back, holding a huge mace in his hand, holding the reins in one hand, pulling his mouth wide open, showing sharp teeth to show people, threatening!
The Demon Rhino Man's face was originally very hideous, but he tried his best to hide it, so he smiled even brighter, and his whole face was more wrinkled than a bitter melon, which made it even more hideous!
After the Caucasians, the Bottle Men and the Demon Rhinos, they followed dozens of cavalry, marching quickly, but always lagging behind them a lot, but the distance never seemed to change, as if they were afraid of being scolded and beaten, whether it was backward or ahead, it was not good.
Everywhere this group of people and beasts went, not only the smoke was billowing and rumbling, but also the ordinary pedestrians on land had to stop, had to endure the thick dust, lowered their heads, bowed their waists, and did not dare to face them, and some even knelt down to worship!
Of course, in addition to Tao Xiaozhi, Brother Xiaohu and his party also bent down and saluted, even the angry Qinghuo Xingxing was no exception, bowing their noble heads!
In the end, even Tao Xiaozhi's head was happy with Brother Xiaohu!
After waiting for a cup of tea, the dust finally cleared, and the sound of horses' hooves and frogs could not be heard, and this ritual was basically over.
Tao Xiaozhi didn't want to blame Brother Xiaohu much, in the Demon Domain, this is an understandable matter related to life, and sometimes it is really involuntarily! Although he knew that these three people must have great backgrounds, he didn't need to ask to know this, but he still asked "as usual".
"I don't know!"
Brother Xiaohu and Silly Star gave the same answer, of course, the angry Huoxing also gave this answer, there is no need to ask at all!
In the Demon Domain, it's better not to ask about some things.
"You just have to remember," admonished the silly star, "that they're government officials, and that there is this necessary etiquette!"
"This seems to be a bit different from the 'Demon Domain Essentials'," Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile.
"The Evil Demon Domain Essentials" is the "way of life" that the old man with pigtails taught Tao Xiaozhi before they set off!
Silly Xingxing bit his fingers, blindly smirked, and looked very inappropriate, I don't know if he was shy or afraid!
Of course, Tao Xiaozhi could only giggle with her
"Actually...... "Silly Star," still laughing, "is a quarter of a quarter of that must-have book that is a bit of an exaggeration...... But the Demon Domain is indeed very dangerous, and outsiders can easily lose their lives...... My father is a man who is afraid of officials, and he is cautious everywhere, afraid that you will offend people and affect us, so he exaggerates some ingredients a little...... But a lot of it is true......! Then you'll understand when we enter the city. β
Tao Xiaozhi just smiled.
In fact, it doesn't matter what is written in "Demon Domain Essentials" at all, because Tao Xiaozhi doesn't care that the world in his head is very exciting, and the interference of the outside world can't change anything at all!
You say that he is subjective or does not want to do his own thing, anyway, he doesn't need other people's axioms and dogmas, this is Tao Xiaozhi!
Brother Xiaohu wanted to blame Tao Xiaozhi: "No matter what you say, you should thank me, if it wasn't for me just now, ......"
"I've already moved my head, right?" Tao Xiaozhi smiled, "Thank you so much~ That's really good, it's just that I'm the kind of person who lives impatiently, and I don't follow the times and die, and I really regret it for the rest of my life~"
Brother Xiaohu said angrily: "Then you will lie in the middle of the road and run over the car to death!"
"But I'm afraid that this will affect the traffic order, and the corpses will be on the road, and I am afraid that it will damage the city's appearance, which is really inappropriate. β
"Then you are"
β......β
Brother Xiaohu and Tao Xiaozhi's tongues are beaten together, and they can't be separated!
Silly Xingxing comforted Brother Xiaohu and said: "He's afraid of everything, but he's not afraid of death, so don't quarrel with him~"
Brother Xiaohu opened his round eyes angrily, his face was very gloomy and hideous, and he pointed at the tip of Tao Xiaozhi's nose and said, "Soon, I will let you get your wish."
Tao Xiaozhi arched his hand and smiled: "That's really grateful~"
Quarrels are quarrels, the road still has to be rushed, and the gate to the demon town has already been opened for them, even if it is not for them, it is also open for the darkness
