Chapter 48: The Inn (2)
Xie Qian immediately became nervous and leaned in the direction of Mu Chengye. She felt his breath in her ears, warm with a hint of relief.
She followed Mu Chengye's line of sight to see the location of the window, and saw several big men turning in.
Probably worried that Xie Qian would be able to speak, Mu Chengye's hands were tightened, and his eyes were burning to observe.
These big men were supposed to be just ordinary mortals, they were burly and a head taller than the two, and a ring of beard could be seen on their faces by the moonlight. With scimitars in hand, they circled the room and fixed their eyes on the clothes they had thrown on their chairs.
Now they were even more sure that it was this room.
Xie Qian didn't know what they were going to do, and he didn't even dare to come out. At this time, Mu Chengye's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "I'll give you a secret message now, so you just have to listen well, and nodded if you understand." ”
Thinking that this should be a spell that he didn't know, Xie Qian had to nod obediently.
Mu Chengye's fox eyes turned, and he continued: "Maybe you spend a lot of money, and you seem to be very deceitful, so you are targeted by the bandits in the mortal world." ”
"Huh?" Xie Qian's eyes widened, obviously a little incomprehensible.
Mu Chengye didn't have time to explain, stared at the big men who came slowly, and admonished: "You don't have any spells now, so you're waiting here." I'm going to go out and get them away now, and you must not make a noise or run around, you know? ”
Although he didn't understand why he told him this, he nodded vigorously to reassure him.
He slowly crawled out from under the bed, moving behind them when the big man didn't notice. These big men didn't notice it at all, and still looked around to see if there was anything valuable.
He cleared his throat, and all the big men's eyes suddenly focused. With a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, he said slowly, "Is this what you are looking for?" As he spoke, he took out a few ingots of gold from his bosom and held them in his hands.
Where have the big men seen so many gold ingots, and their eyes lit up. They glanced at each other, their long knives glistening in the moonlight. They smiled greedily and threatened: "Child, if you want to save your life, give us the gold ingots." ”
"If you can't say a word, I'll give it to you." Mu Chengye took the gold into his arms and said unhurriedly, "Come and grab it." ”
When those big men saw that he was so rampant at such a young age, they immediately burst out laughing. Under the command of the Han led by the leader, everyone surrounded Mu Chengye in the middle.
His eyes were full of contempt, and he obviously didn't take these mortals seriously at all. He shrugged his shoulders, and then jumped on the big man's shoulder. Before they could resist, Mu Chengye had already landed by the window.
He jumped onto the window frame with one hand and stared at them with interest, folded his arms.
Immediately afterwards, the long knife in the big man's hand shattered to the ground.
They never dreamed that such a child would be so powerful, and they were so frightened that they turned pale and didn't dare to move.
And Mu Chengye tilted his head, staring at several big men back and forth with murderous intent in his eyes, and then said: "You will forget all the things tonight, including seeing the little girl in pink." ”
As his words fell, the big men turned over from the window next to Mu Chengye and left one by one as if they were being manipulated by something.
Mu Chengye leaned against the side of the window frame, half of his face was hidden in the dark, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth loomed in the moonlight, and there was a sense of bewitchment.
Xie Qian didn't dare to come out while washing under the bed, staring at Mu Chengye at this time, there was a strange feeling from the bottom of his heart.
After making sure that the big men were all gone, Mu Chengye jumped off the window frame and walked to the bed, and said in a cold voice: "You can come out." ”
Hearing the order, Xie Qian left and climbed out of the bed, rushed over in surprise and grabbed his arm and shook it a few times, sighing: "You are so powerful!" ”
"Demons and mortals are not at the same level." Mu Chengye glanced at Xie Qian with disdain, "The only trouble is to be extremely careful when dealing with them." Mortals are so weak, if they are accidentally killed, they will be punished by the Three Realms. ”
Xie Qian listened to this, and her eyes were full of adoration.
Mu Chengye completely ignored her expression, yawned and lay back on the bed, and raised his hand to point in the direction of the other room, and said in a daze: "You go to sleep over there, if you encounter any danger, I can hear it." ”
"Are you trying to protect me?" The light in Xie Qian's eyes was like stars twinkling.
Mu Chengye rolled his eyes weakly, and said coldly: "You think too much, I want to judge in advance whether I can deal with it." If I can't deal with it, I'll have plenty of time to escape. ”
“……”
Xie Qian felt extremely guilty about her anticipation, and walked to another room with a straight face.
In the days that followed, Mu Chengye decided to rest here for a few days and go on the road, recovering his physical strength so that he would not be passive when encountering danger. It just so happened that in this kind of peaceful day, he could safely teach Xie Qian some things and simple spells about the mortal world.
Through studying, Xie Qian learned that the mortal world needed something called money to buy things. In addition to gold and silver, there are also more common copper plates.
Xie Qian remembered the transformation technique he had just practiced, his eyes rolled, and he asked seriously, "Can you use leaves to make money?" ”
"Coriander ......" Mu Chengye pinched his eyebrows, allowing himself to try to talk to her in a calm tone, "This practice is illegal, so don't have this kind of thought in the future." ”
Xie Qian was a little disappointed, but she still remembered this very seriously.
She has been very adaptable since she was a child, and within a week of living in the inn, she has almost been able to adapt to mortal life. So much so that when buying something, you also know that you have to bargain.
Today, she bought two buns from the street with a copper plate. The vendor was heartbroken, and he looked like he didn't bargain if he knew it. Mu Chengye was very satisfied, thinking that within a month, she would definitely be able to live like a mortal.
Xie Qian took a bite of the bun in his hand, happily held the other bun to Mu Chengye, and asked with a grin, "Is this okay?" ”
"That's it." Mu Chengye took the bun and took a bite with a teachable expression, looked at the sunset on the horizon and said slowly, "We can leave tomorrow." ”
During his recuperation, his strength regained seventy-seven eighty-eight, and he finally didn't have to walk on foot anymore. And he understands that when he leaves this town, the disasters facing them will definitely increase, and if he can't cope with it, he can just flee.
Calculating the time to go back to the fox clan, Xie Qian had already finished nibbling on a bun. She still felt hungry, so she stretched out her hand to Mu Chengye and said, "I still have to eat the wontons over there, give me money." ”
"You, if you eat like this, you'll be fat, how can I take you when the time comes." Mu Chengye said as he took out a few copper plates from his purse and handed them over.
Monsters don't eat fat, Xie Qian ignored him, and jumped around with the money to buy wontons.
Mu Chengye looked at her back and shook his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth had not been completely pulled out, and his face changed greatly because he was shocked by the cold breath behind him.
He turned his head slowly, and saw a man in a black cloak standing not far away, looking at him through the crowd.
