Chapter 237: Flower Bell and Turtle Stewed Cimicifuga(4)
"Please send two bowls at a time, I'm afraid that I won't be robbed again before I can eat it."
"Three bowls, send three more bowls, I didn't eat breakfast, I'm hungry at this time." Chen Dahu said indistinctly while pulling the white porridge.
"Okay, three bowls, three bowls, the small ones will be sent immediately." Xiao Er said, and ran quickly to the back kitchen.
Chen Dahu cleaned up a bowl of white porridge in three or two clicks, and even licked the rice grains at the bottom of the bowl, and then continued: "I guess there should be some wild beast running to our Huaxi Town." Miss Bai, you and Mr. Bai have to pay attention, your house attracts evil spirits, maybe this man-eating beast is hiding in that house in your White Mansion. ”
"For your words, I also want that beast to hide in our White Mansion." Bai Li raised his hand: "If this is hidden in our house, there is still a Bai Ze who can deal with it, if it is hidden in someone else's house, there will be another life." ”
"White girl atmosphere!" Chen Dahu clenched his fists: "I'm talking nonsense, white girl, don't take it to heart." I swear to God, I'm absolutely sincere and no joke when I tell you to be careful. This Mr. Bai is busy, there is only a girl and you in the Bai Mansion, if something really happens, there is no one to help. In my opinion, it's good for you to stay in this inn, girl. Don't worry, Brother Gao, I, and these brothers in our yamen will catch the murderer as soon as possible. ”
"Let's drink porridge!" What kind of temperament and personality Chen Dahu is, Bai Li is also clear, knowing that he is not bad-minded, but he has no door on his mouth, and he will say whatever he thinks, so he didn't really put the words he just said in his heart. Knowing that his reminder was a good intention, he immediately sighed and replied, "Don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”
"I just heard a few quick catchers talk about beasts." An out-of-town merchant spoke in a half-baked local dialect: "We know that the beast we can help a few quick catchers catch it." ”
"You know?" Chen Dahu turned around and looked at the businessmen from other places.
"Don't hide it, it's very likely that the beast was brought by us." The merchant looked as usual, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.
"Tell me what you mean by the beast, and it is very likely that it was brought by you. Who are the few of you? And what is that beast that brought it? I tell you, if you can't say this in the inn, we'll ask you to go to the hall of the government and make it clear. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, since I opened my mouth, I didn't plan to hide it anymore. In the final analysis, this matter is also caused by our brothers, and we have the responsibility and should help you to take this beast. The foreign merchant said: "My king, the eighth in the family, according to the rules of the Tao, they should call me the eighth master." Because the word Wang Ba is not good, he called me the eighth master. These three are my sworn brothers and the businessmen with whom I trade. We do business differently than others, we are specifically looking for stone monuments. ”
"The stele? What are you looking for this thing for? Chen Dahu asked puzzled.
"We're looking for a stone stele, and we don't know what it can do. Because someone paid us to find it, we found it, and if we found a piece, it counts as a piece. Of course, we don't want all stone monuments, we want to look for the kind of rarity. Either the handwriting is particularly good, or the things recorded on it are strange. In short, there are such steles, but there are few of them, and it is even more difficult to find. Fortunately, the main family is not in a hurry, and the money given is also more, so we can find it slowly, and we can find a piece in about half a year. ”
"And then? You searched for the stele and found a beast, and you thought it was more valuable, so you brought it out, but you didn't think that the beast had run away...... Isn't that so? Chen Dahu couldn't bear it, and asked one after another.
The eighth master of the merchant cleared his throat and said, "Almost." ”
"What do you mean almost? Hurry up, let's make it clear, what did you bring to Huaxi Town, and how did that thing run? How can I get it back? ”
"Spiral Turtle, the thing we found should be the Ancient Divine Beast Spiral Turtle." The eighth master lowered his head and pursed his lips: "We also rushed over when we heard the news." There is a barren mountain about 800 miles from this town. The barren mountain is not big, and it has no name, so ordinary people will not go anywhere. There is a village at the bottom of the mountain, called Turtle Village, if you look down from a high place, you will feel that the whole village looks like a turtle, and the barren mountain is very similar to the shell of a turtle removed from the back of a turtle. ”
"Kamemura? Is there such a strange village near this Huaxi Town? ”
"There are more strange villages than this, when I went to run errands with Brother Gao before, I also lived in a place called Hanging Neck Ditch. Hanging neck groove, mad, right? If it weren't for the fact that the people in that village looked quite normal, I wouldn't have had the guts to spend the night in that village. There is also a place called phoenix wings, and I almost drooled when I heard it. ”
Bai Li didn't know if what Chen Dahu said was true or not, so she didn't ask, but set her eyes on the eighth master: "That spinning turtle was found in Turtle Village?" ”
"Not bad. There is an old pine forest next to this turtle village, and the old pine forest is actually on the barren mountain, and when you look down from a high place, it looks like it grows on the highest part of the turtle shell. There was a ruined temple in the old pine forest, which according to the village elders said was built 500 years ago, and there was a bloody battle there at that time, leaving behind many lonely ghosts. The pine trees in the old pine forest have grown for hundreds of years, and their branches are intertwined, obscuring the sky and the sun. The trunk of this tree is overgrown with weeds, not to mention that at night, even if you walk in it a little in the daytime, you will feel the cold. It was rumored in the village that there were ghosts in the old pine forest, and that there were monsters living in the temple, so for hundreds of years, no villagers in the vicinity dared to go in and take a look. ”
"Since there are no villagers to enter, how did your brother find that turtle village, and how did you know that there was a ruined temple and a whirling turtle in it?"
"At first, we didn't know, but we heard that there was a turtle stele in the ruined temple, and the inscription was extremely strange, and if we could crack it, we could find the way to eternal life. Our brother was looking for a monument, and most of these good monuments were in those weird places, and we were used to it, and we didn't take those scary rumors to heart. ”
"You guys are still so daring!" Chen Dahu shook his head.
"Man dies for money, and birds die for food." The eighth master smiled bitterly: "It's not that we are bold, but that we have parents to support at home, and we have wives and children to rely on us. Ghosts are terrible, but no matter how terrible they are, can they be more terrible than having no money to spend and no food to eat? The lives of the poor are worthless, and if they can be exchanged for money, why not? ”
