Chapter 410: Checkmate and Salmon Soup (17)
Seeing the giant praying mantis approaching him, the residents of Hejiabao, who were still noisy just now, began to hug and tremble again. Bai Ze looked at them coldly, as if he was gaining insight into the truest and most sinister human nature.
"Mr. Bai, let's stop here." Just as the praying mantis was about to kill on a large scale, Lord Xin opened his mouth: "They were born in Hejiabao, and their hands are more or less stained with some blood, and when they are brought back to Huaxi Town, I will deal with them according to the laws of the dynasty." Mrs. Xu is already pitiful enough, so don't let her bear these sins anymore. β
"Husband, spare them." Bai Li walked up to Bai Ze and gently pulled his hand: "To be honest, I'm angry too, but we really don't need to be as knowledgeable as these people." Master Xin is right, these people were born and raised in Hejiabao, and what they watched and learned from childhood were all taught to them by those bad people. Deceiving the good and fearing the evil, and flattery must be necessary lessons in life. You are a dignified Mr. Bai, don't you lose your identity if you deal with them? I know you're doing me my anger, but the more this happens, the more I'll have to stop you, because I'm going to be your good wife, and I can't let you have a bad reputation because of me. β
"Want a pet?" Bai Ze held her hand and asked softly.
"What?"
"Madame wants a small pet, the kind that can protect Madame." Bai Ze repeated again.
"What little pets? Aren't we talking about praying mantises? β
"It's all the same." Bai Ze stretched out his hand, and a series of runes flew towards the giant mantis, trapping it inside before it was ready to kill. After only a few moments, the originally huge praying mantis turned into a small mantis of normal size.
Seeing this, someone plucked up the courage and took the opportunity to stretch out his feet, wanting to trample the mantis to death, but was bounced out by the circle of rune paper tied to the mantis.
"What an unrepentant experience!" Bai Ze shook his head as he took back both the rune paper and the praying mantis.
The rune paper turned into a small bamboo cage, and the praying mantis obediently stayed in the bamboo cage.
"Would it be nice to leave it to Madame as a pet?"
"That's what you just said about the little pet?" Bai Li looked at the bamboo cage and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.
"It's okay, I've already told it, and it will stay with Madame in the future and do its best to protect Madame. It is not easy for praying mantis to cultivate, and Mrs. Xu is also involuntarily, if they are eliminated like this, it seems a little unfair to them. The heart is sinister, and there is just a lack of someone who can protect the lady, so it is best to leave it by the side of the lady. β
"I naturally believe what my husband said, I'm just worried about ......" Bai Li looked at the praying mantis in the bamboo cage: "No, it's not that I'm worried, but I feel that something is wrong." Isn't it too much for us to treat Mrs. Xu like this? β
"There is no young lady Xu Wang Yi in this world, her heart is dead and her soul is destroyed, and now all she is staying in this cage is a praying mantis."
Bai Ze's words made Bai Li sad.
After a while, she took the cage anyway.
When those people in Hejiabao saw the giant mantis disappear, they began to think about other things in their hearts. Bai Ze didn't need to read his mind to know what they were planning. He "brushed" and threw out dozens of rune papers, as if he had just besieged the praying mantis, and as the rune paper rotated, they rose from the ground one by one and turned into that kind of small paper man.
"Mr. Bai, you areβ"
Not only Lord Xin looked stupid, but even Gao Zhan and them were stupid.
They knew that Bai Ze was a good fortune teller, and they also knew that Bai Ze could spell and dare to fight with giant praying mantises, but they didn't expect that Bai Ze still had the ability to turn people into paper people.
"There is still a distance from Huaxi Town, there are many of them, there are few of you, and it is not easy to escort them back smoothly. My spell lasts for an hour or so. Bai Ze beckoned, and the rune paper floating in the air immediately turned into a huge pocket, taking in all those paper people.
After the last paper figure fell into his pocket, Bai Ze tied the pocket tightly and threw it to Gao Zhan: "When you return to the yamen, let someone carry a few buckets of water over and splash the water evenly on the paper figure." The paper figure that was stained with water could return to normal without a cup of tea. If there are not enough cells, you can take some and keep some. Bury the remaining paper figurines in dry soil, and as long as they don't get wet, they can maintain this form forever. β
"What if it's on fire?" Gao Zhan asked curiously.
"What do you think?" Bai Ze glanced at him, Gao Zhan was embarrassed for a while, and directly touched his head and smiled.
"Mr. Bai, don't worry, I will definitely do what you say, Mr. Bai, these paper people, I promise not to let them get close to the fire."
"People, I have already handed it over to your yamen, as for splashing water and burying it, it is up to you in the yamen to decide the fire. These people are not good people, but they are not very evil people, how to deal with them, it is up to Lord Xin to decide. β
"Thank you, Mr. Bai." Master Xin arched his hand and said, "It's here, Mr. Bai wants to return to Huaxi Town with us." β
"No need, my wife is in a bad mood, I want to take her around."
"Am I in a bad mood?" Bai Li asked quietly.
Bai Zeshen glanced at her and asked rhetorically, "Is Madam in a good mood?" β
"Not good, not at all. First, I saw a huge praying mantis eating people everywhere, and then I heard a not very perfect love story, and finally I was besieged inexplicably, saying that I would be killed together, so I can be in a good mood. It's just husband, where are you going to take me? β
"A place where a lady has never been." Bai Ze pointed to the bamboo cage in Bai Li's hand: "This, let Gao Yu help you bring it back first." Those people in Hejiabao estimated that they still needed to use it to be obedient. As for the safety of the lady, it is okay to have me, a husband, by my side. This praying mantis is not needed for the time being. β
"Great, I'm worried." Without waiting for Bai Ze to finish speaking, Gao Zhan directly carried the bamboo cage over: "Don't hide it, sir, I'm still quite worried in my heart." We came in to Hejiabao and caught some people, but Mr. also knew that these were the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Hejiabao that we caught, and the really powerful ones were not in the fort. I'm worried, what if these people come back and know that we have brought people to the Yamen, and then go to the Yamen to look for trouble? This is clear, we are naturally not afraid, but if they hide behind their backs to make a trick, then we can't prevent it. Can this praying mantis save my life and my adult life at a critical time? β
