Chapter 246: Flower Bell and Turtle Stewed Cohosh (13)
Bai Ze is not gluttonous, he is not greedy, but he really stared at the spiral turtle all the way, and he really had the heart to stew it.
The tortoise said to him in a voice that only Bai Ze could hear: "If you stew me, the white girl will definitely resent you." ”
Because of the word "resentment", Bai Ze stiffly twisted his neck to the side, and the inn also arrived.
The shopkeeper had a towel on his right shoulder, and when he saw Bai Li and Bai Ze coming back, he hurriedly ran forward and said mysteriously: "The eighth master didn't come back, but his brothers have all come back, and their faces are as pale as if they have seen a ghost." What about high catch? I was thinking about going to the street to find people, but I was afraid that I wouldn't stop the store, so I let those people flee again. ”
"You're doing a good job." Bai Li first gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up, and then said to him: "Are those people back to the guest room?" Don't worry, Bai Ze and I will help you watch people, and you go to the street to find Gao Zhan and Dahu. The place with the largest number of onlookers on the street, make sure you find a good one. ”
"Where are the most onlookers?" The shopkeeper scratched his head: "White girl, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that we have jugglers in Huaxi Town again? ”
"The eighth master is dead, and he was destroyed by Bai Ze. This man is dead, and there are no people on the street watching the excitement. There are many people who see the excitement, and the people in the government will naturally smell it. Go ahead, Gao Zhan or Chen Dahu, you can always meet one. ”
"Okay, the little one is gone." As soon as the shopkeeper threw the towel, he ran towards the street happily.
This search is real, and the heart of watching the excitement is also real.
I heard that this eighth master has become a demon, and the shopkeeper has lived for nearly 20 years, and he has never seen what a person who has become a demon looks like. Bai Li didn't know what he was thinking, and if he knew, he would have to stop him. Because of the appearance of the eighth master after his death, it is really a bit miserable.
In the guest room, several foreign merchants curled up together, just as the shopkeeper had just described, their faces were pale, and they looked like paper people.
"Tell me, how did you guys end up like this? What about the eighth master? Didn't you go with the eighth master? Why are a few of you back, and the eighth master is gone? Bai Li asked deliberately, but her eyes swept over the faces of those people inch by inch, and all she had to do was to capture the subtle changes in expression on their faces.
"We're not with the eighth master!" One of them rolled his eyes slightly, and quickly spat out a few words.
"Lying, when we were at the inn before, we clearly saw that a few of you were standing with the eighth master, and the eighth master also admitted that you were his brothers. Is the eighth master lying, or are you lying? How familiar I am with the people in the government, I think you have also seen it with your own eyes, lying in front of me, you guys can't get any bargains. ”
"Don't dare to deceive the girl, we have no intention of deceiving the girl, we really didn't go with the eighth master." The man pursed his lips, and his face became more and more pale: "Yes, we were indeed with the eighth master at first, but a few of us are a little different from him. He is the shopkeeper's man, the shopkeeper's cronies, and the few of us are the ones the shopkeeper has released from prison. ”
"Wait, tell me more about it, what the hell is going on?" Bai Li frowned slightly.
Bai Ze approached, took out a few pills and distributed them to those people: "Eat, you will be fine if you eat it." ”
"What's wrong with them?" Bai Li approached: "What did you give them to eat?" Poison? ”
As soon as the word poison came out, the few people were so frightened that they almost threw away the pills they had just received.
"Meditation pill, a few of them were frightened and their hearts were broken, if there was no meditation pill for me, they would not be scared to death by themselves for a long time." Bai Ze explained, while pulling Bai Li up from those people, and found another stool to sit down.
"Eat, take the medicine, and answer the words that my Li'er asked you just now."
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, your eyes are closed, or you still eat the meditation pill. This medicine is really miraculous, not long after taking it, several people turned pale and had blood on their faces.
"Several of us are thieves, Ah Guang and I are tomb robbers, and Chen Er and Wu San are gentlemen of Liang, who specialize in stealing the property of wealthy merchants. Ah Guang and I were arrested first, and after about three months, Chen Er and Wu San were also arrested. It's strange to say that thieves like us, as long as there are not a lot of stolen goods found when they are obtained, they are usually locked up for a while and released. But that time was different, the official did not torture us, did not sarcastically mock us, but invited a gentleman to teach us to recognize words and identify the shapes of those words. Occasionally, they would take us out and let us see some stone monuments. There are all kinds of stone tablets, some of which were dug up from cemeteries, some of which seem to have been placed in temples, and some of which belonged to the houses of wealthy families.
We also asked, but the end of the mouth is to be beaten. Later, a few of us learned to be obedient, and we learned what our husband taught. Anyway, life in prison is not bad, and even the food is better than the prison food we used to eat. This can't be frozen, hungry, and Mr. teaches literacy, but it's much better than running around outside.
After a year like this, the eighth master appeared, saying that he was taking us to do things. If this thing is done well, there is silver, and if it is not done well, what awaits us is a dead end. They also arrested our family members, and if we didn't comply, not only would we be in trouble, but our parents, wives and children would also be in trouble. As a last resort, we can only follow the eighth master, and what we have to do is to look for the stone tablet everywhere.
At first, we were thinking about escaping and trying to find a way to save our families. But after following the eighth master to do a few things, we found that what the eighth master said was true. Every time I come back with the stone tablet, the eighth master will give us some reward, and the silver is enough for our family to spend more than half a year. This stone stele is much better than digging people's ancestral graves and stealing property, and the drought and flood ensure the harvest, and the eighth master and the shopkeeper have not embarrassed our family. So, we were willing to help the eighth master do things, and later, we really got along with brothers of the opposite sex. But no matter how brothers of the opposite sex are, a few of us also know in our hearts that we are different from the eighth master. ”
"What happened on the barren mountain of Turtle Village? Why did the eighth master become like that? ”
"Girl, have you seen the appearance of the eighth master?" The man asked, apprehensive.
"Well, I've seen it, it looks like a person is not a human, it looks like a demon is not a demon, and it eats live creatures, it's really a little scary."
"It's a turtle, the eighth master...... He dug up a turtle in the ruined temple in the barren mountain of Turtle Village, and then, as if he was leaned over by a demon, he opened his mouth and bit the turtle, and then the person changed. It's getting weird, the kind of weirdness that can't be explained. ”
