Chapter 183: Not Everyone Can Help
With Xi Mo's stroke by stroke, on the white rice paper, the image of a somewhat bad man jumped on the paper.
The young man tilted his neck to look left and right, and the more he looked, the more wrong it became, and he interrupted her movements with some urgency, "Wait...... I seem to have seen this man. ”
"Have you seen it? really fake?" Xi Mo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly dropped the pen and ink in his hand, staring at the young man with burning eyes.
The young man was stared at a little uncomfortably, trying to calm his voice, "Ahem...... It can't be ruled out that it just looks alike, because the other party doesn't seem to have the one you drawn...... So bad!"
"Cut! You know what, this man, bad from the bones. Don't look at him as serious, he is actually a complete, phew!" Xi Mo spat indignantly.
Thinking that she had met any person, she had never seen him do a normal thing, and she didn't know how much she had been taken up, this evil breath was held in her heart, and every time she thought about it, she hated it.
For the first time, in broad daylight, I fell on top of him, a lonely man and a widow, where did she put the face of a big girl? It was already merciful not to let him become a eunuch on the spot.
When escaping from the beast tide later, some unspeakable things happened one after another, Xi Mo can say that he really has a complicated mood for this man, and he can't tell the hatred.
"Oh...... So, this person is your enemy?" the young man hesitated a little, whether he wanted to tell what he knew.
Anyway, this person saved his life before, and didn't let himself die under that wall. Moreover, he was even more shameful to steal the other party's buns, and when he thought of this, he became more and more embarrassed.
Xi Mo didn't know that he was thinking so much in his heart, but he continued to paint with deep resentment, and muttered: "I have no enmity with him, I have something to ask him." ”
If she could, she wouldn't ask for anyone in her life, especially this man. However, fate played tricks on her, and she had to compromise.
"Ah, what do you ask him to do? Tell me, maybe...... I can help you with your worries. ”
Anyway, he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he knows a lot of things, and he knows a little bit of fame.
Xi Mo looked at him for a moment, and looked at him uncomfortable, "What's wrong?
"I don't believe it, my business, you like this...... I really can't interfere!"
To be precise, there are few people in this world who can meddle. That's not something that ordinary people can do, otherwise, why would she drag her seriously injured body and look for people everywhere.
"The girl is too full of words, who can say things in this world clearly, maybe you can say it, and there is just such an opportunity. ”
The young man touched the bridge of his nose and said disapprovingly.
Xi Mo sighed, "I didn't say it, you ......"
She wanted to say that the other party was not qualified to know this, but after thinking about it, even if she did, it didn't seem to be a big deal, and shrugged her shoulders and said, "Okay, as you wish, I hope you can help me." ”
"Have you ever heard of a large-scale beast tide in Xunyang Mountain?"
The young man frowned, "If you ask someone else, you probably don't know, just ask me." ”
"In that place, it is said that there is a once-in-a-lifetime beast tide that has swept through most of the northern cities, and the number of casualties is worse than natural and man-made disasters. ”
It's just that for fear of causing panic among the people, this news has been secretly intercepted by the lord of the country. ”
He was able to know so much because when he was stealing in a big official's mansion before, he happened to hear the Qingyun envoy read the holy edict of the lord of the country.
At that time, he didn't care, and he didn't go to the north, he just felt very far away from him.
Xi Mo raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect him to really know a little, "You're right, the north has been reduced to the territory of demonic beasts, and Grandpa and I just picked up a life from there." ”
The young man said confidently: "It shouldn't matter, the lord of the country has already recruited many soldiers to the north, and I believe that it won't be long before the people there can be restored to peace." ”
He is still quite satisfied with the current force value of Qingyun Kingdom. At least since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has been peaceful and peaceful, and there have been few wars.
It's just a monster, it's just a hunting activity.
Xi Mo shook his head coldly, "Ha! I'm afraid you don't know what a demonic beast is, they are very powerful in themselves, ordinary beasts, and even demon beasts encounter it, that is, the little chick meets the big eagle, and there is no return."
What's more, there are so many of them that they are overwhelming and daunting.
Even the legendary monks, I have seen a few bold ones, who rushed forward in ignorance and fearlessness, and finally were gnawed to the point that there was no scum left. ”
"Hey, you mean, the monk ......," the young man gasped.
He knew how powerful the monk was, and he had more or less encountered such a powerful character in the market. It's just that such people are generally above the top and will not care about them as small people.
He didn't expect that the harm of the demonic beast was so powerful that the monk rushed forward to find death.
That...... When those soldiers went hunting, didn't they just send rations to the monsters?
It's appalling!
"Girl, how did you get out of such a serious situation?"
The young man carefully recalled the past during this time, and noticed that there were far fewer merchants and tourists from the north.
In previous years, when the spring flowers bloomed, many northerners would make an appointment to come to Lingbo City to see the sea of flowers, who let there be an open royal forest garden here, in which 10,000 acres of pear blossoms are as white as snow, which is the most brilliant. Naturally, it will attract a lot of merchants from the north and south to stop and watch.
This year is unusual, and there are a lot of tourists from the south. This northern one is indeed rare, even extremely rare.
When he went to hang out in those shops, he could always hear the nagging of those shopkeepers, and a certain merchant did not pay attention to credibility, and said that he would deliver the goods after the New Year, and he waited for ten days and half a month without seeing a ghost.
Even the guys who were sent out to urge the goods didn't know what was going on, and when they went, they didn't see the turnaround. Everyone was wondering in their hearts whether there was some sudden accident that caused the delay.
But no one would have thought that things were already running like a prairie fire, and soon the northern continent would fall.
Xi Mo didn't really want to answer the young man's question, and the bloody scenes seemed to be close in front of her, which made her feel afraid.
"Don't ask so much, in short, Grandpa and I escaped, but we were also seriously injured, especially Grandpa, the whole person was unconscious, and I found the valley master of the Medicine King Valley to see a doctor, the other party is known as the Medicine King, and I can't see what happened to Grandpa.
I don't know who else to turn to, so I can only find the, hoping that he will see that I am in the same house with him, and can lend a hand, alas......"
Xi Mo was really helpless, the longer the time dragged on, the more anxious she became. When I said this, I couldn't help frowning, I was too emotional just now, but I accidentally got involved in the injuries on my body.
The young man was silent, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, the girl in front of him was not wrong, he was really powerless, and he couldn't help her much.
But, at least, there was a sigh of relief in my heart. The other party has a benefactor who asks for it, and he can still do his best.
"Girl, that's what you're talking about...... , I know where they're going. And, I'll also have a little tracking trick that will take you to find them. ”
It was thanks to the fact that he had stolen any of his buns, touched any of his money bags, and there was a faint smell on them.
This taste, ordinary people will not ask at all, as a closed disciple of the king of stealing, he has an amazing talent in terms of smell.
He can tell if there are people nearby and if there are dangerous objects approaching by smell, so as to decide whether to attack or not.
This is also the reason why he has been stealing for so many years and has not been caught.
As for what happened in that big mansion that night, he still didn't understand why he broke into a maid after he smelled nothing special around him. was even beaten by an inexplicable thing, and almost killed himself.
What he couldn't figure out, he could only attribute it to that place and his conflict, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never step into it again in his lifetime.
Saying that, when Xi Mo heard him say that he was going to take her to find someone, where was there anything unhappy, he suddenly stretched his brows, and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for this son, I don't know what to call you yet?"
"Ah! Childe doesn't dare to be, you can call me Tao Zhe, Tao is Gongshan Tao (tao), Zhe is Shuangji Zhe, just don't make a mistake girl. ”
"Got it, thank you, Brother Azhe. If I hadn't met you, I'd have missed it again. ”
"Also, I haven't thanked you for sending me to the hospital, that's rude! You won't blame me, will you?"
Xi Mo, who was in a good mood, stuck out his tongue shyly. After half a ring, she finally realized her rude behavior just now.
Her delicate behavior is so charming that young men can't help but be stupid.
didn't hear a response, Xi Mo couldn't help but call out again, "Childe ......"
The young man who came back to his senses hurriedly waved his hand with a look of respect, "It's all said, don't call me son, girl, I'm going to get goosebumps when I hear it." ”
What kind of boy is he, he's a thief at best. It's like a street rat, an existence that everyone shouts at.
After living for more than 20 years, he has never been thanked so gently, Xi Mo's words made his waist stand up a lot at once, and he became confident.
To be honest, he really enjoyed the feeling of the moment. It's just that the existence of a big bad scenery immediately made him feel like this.
"Uncle, come and see, what have I caught?
A fiery figure broke in and interrupted the conversation between the two, and such a silly tone was none other than the second elder Wu Shixun, who was a little confused.
He carried a toad leg in his hand, and the toad, which was still croaking, dangled in front of Tao Zhe, with a smug smile in his eyes.
The young man made a tiger face and slapped the toad away, "You can play with everything, and you are not afraid of poison!"
The toad was red all over, and there were sarcoma-like bulges on it, and it was extremely ugly to look at, and I don't know where he got it from.
You know, it's only early spring, the weather is not very hot, and those snakes, insects, rats, ants and other strange insects have not had time to activate the fields.
"Uh...... Don't be angry, uncle, I just won't play in the future. ”
Wu Shixun pouted sadly, looking like a good baby who had done something wrong and was waiting to be criticized.
Where was he willing to scold him, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas...... It's not that I won't let you play, you can play something else in the future, you know? I'm for your good. ”
"Alas...... That toad is so funny, I don't know what you're afraid of, uncle?"
He was a little helpless to learn from Tao Zhe, and sighed along.
"Oh, can you two big men stop grinding, hurry up and pick up Grandpa with me, and then we'll go find that bull together." ”
Xi Mo's grandfather was fostered by her in a medical hall, and the three of them rushed all the way, paid off the silver taels, and picked them up very smoothly.
Along the way, the Great Elder was forcibly stuffed onto the back of the Second Elder Wu Shixun, and instead of feeling uncomfortable, he was jumping a little happily.
This kind of weight is probably the weight of a pillow for a power player here.
They first came to a horse market and bought three horses, which could speed up the pace and make it easier for the two grandchildren of the Xi family, who were seriously injured.
Along the way, stop and go, and when encountering forks in the road, Tao Zhe always has to get off the horse to study the road conditions, grab the soil on the ground from time to time, and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
Xi Mo was a little suspicious of such behavior, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally held back.
She really had no other way, she didn't know what else she could think but to choose trust.
The experience of this period of time has made this former proud girl of the sky a little calmer, and the arrogant and domineering character in the past has more or less converged.
In the face of adversity, people always have to grow faster.
In this way, they chased for three days and three nights on a big road, until the horse was so tired that he foamed at the mouth, and Wu Shixun could fall asleep on the horse, and they finally found either grandfather and grandson in a small fishing village.
At that time, the two men were patrolling various ships on the shore, and seemed to be planning to go to sea. For another two hours at night, there would never have been any such two men.
Xi Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his head was a little dizzy, but he still endured it and didn't fall, his face was pale, and he wanted to say something to anyone.
She still overestimated herself, and the sudden relaxation made her vent that strength, and her mouth opened, and she reluctantly said "......"
And the man fell down in splendor.
Tao Zhe kept looking at her, and caught her as soon as possible, and didn't let her fall anywhere.
Before anyone could express his surprise at the appearance of a few people, Mao looked already furious, "What's the matter, it's like this, you can still find it." ”
