Chapter 13: Mrs. San
Fang Chi frowned after hearing this, and thought to himself: Didn't you say that you had to go through the second gate? I haven't seen the shadow yet, why did I come in?
Song Xiuyu knew the doubts in her heart, but he didn't know the specific situation in the divine ladder, and he didn't plan to come in before, the ghost knew that the passage to enter the divine ladder in the human world would suddenly open, and he didn't know if he could get out in the future.
"The injuries on our bodies have disappeared inexplicably......" looked at his wrist again, could it be that when he entered the first layer, all the negative effects disappeared?
Song Xiuyu did not continue to dwell on these unanswered questions, but proposed: "Find a place to eat and rest first." ”
Fang Chi had already been dizzy from hunger, so he naturally agreed. If it weren't for guarding him, I would have run away.
The two of them walked out along the coast, the sun set, the small fishing village in the distance gradually became popular, the cooking smoke was lit, the men brought home the fish and shrimp they caught bare-chested, the wives helped with a smile, and the children jumped up and said goodbye to their little friends and went home for dinner......
Outsiders appeared outside the closed fishing village for the first time in a long time, and the children gathered curiously around with food in their hands to see who they were, and the kind women took a few nests to satisfy their hunger.
"Mother, who are they? Beggars? A little chubby dun tugged at his mother's sleeve and asked in a milky voice.
The woman he called his mother hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered in front of him: "Don't talk nonsense, children! ”
The woman thought to herself: Although the clothes on these two people are tattered, but the materials are excellent, there must be some big man who accidentally suffered a shipwreck, don't offend them, so as not to suffer an unwarranted disaster.
Fang Chi, who was sitting on the small bench in the village chief's house, gnawing on his nest head, of course also heard it, and pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, the child was childish, but with the ghost of the two of them now, it was indeed no different from a beggar.
Tattered clothes, bare feet, hair and aquatic plants are tangled, like a chicken nest head.
Song Xiuyu is a little more decent, but his back is mostly bare, and his pants are half broken, perhaps because they were torn from the previous changes.
The village chief standing on the side, who was not very old and shirtless, saw this and asked his wife to hurry up and get two old clothes for the two to change into.
The two of them thanked each other, cleaned their heads and changed their clothes after eating, and felt that they were alive again!
At this time, night had fallen, and the kind village chief took them in again, who had nowhere to go, and packed up the firewood house for them to live in.
According to the way the people of the fishing village speak and what can be found by knocking on the side, it is a bit like ancient China, but it is not any dynasty in history, and the clothes on the body are also coarse linen, and the sleeves and trouser legs are also tied with strips of cloth.
"What is the first level of testing?" Fang Chi leaned against the stack of firewood and asked with a yawn.
Song Xiuyu shook his head, "There are all kinds of things, everyone is different, and the time to trigger the test is also different. ”
"Okay, ...... earlier," he said, and before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice outside the door.
"Alas...... I heard that another village has been destroyed, and if this continues, who knows when it will be our turn?! "It's the voice of the village chief's wife.
"Don't be afraid, the king has already posted a list to seek capable people to slaughter the evil dragon, and many people have already taken the list, I believe it will subside soon!"
Evil dragons?
Fang Chi leaned closer to the crack in the door, wanting to listen carefully.
"Alas...... When will this kind of worrying day come to an end! ”
"Master, you said this dragon and that ...... Does it matter? ”
The village chief glanced at the firewood house and scolded in a low voice: "Silence! ”
Later, I could only hear the footsteps of him pulling his lady away.
Seeing that she couldn't hear more useful information, she turned around and discussed with Song Xiuyu in a low voice: "I think the evil dragon that the village chief's lady said may have something to do with our mission. ”
After all, this dialogue scene is like an NPC guiding the player to the main story, and it's hard to ignore.
Song Xiuyu lowered his eyebrows and looked at the dry firewood at his feet, thoughtful. "Ask me in detail tomorrow."
The next day, the two of them knocked on the side and asked something more.
Originally, this small fishing village was located on the border of a fish country called Fish Country, which is about the size of a modern county, and the people of the village have lived and worked in peace and contentment for generations. However, two years ago, an evil dragon descended from the sky and slaughtered a village every once in a while, causing panic among the people, and many people in the village who were able to move to the royal capital to escape the disaster.
The king also sent troops to hang the dragon more than once, but they were all slaughtered by the evil dragon, there is no way but to look for capable people, as long as the evil dragon can be eliminated, in addition to the throne, the king can unconditionally agree to him a request, for a time a large number of people who think they have something good poured into the royal capital.
After finding out the news, the two left the fishing village and decided to go to the royal capital.
The strange thing is that even if there is no soul grass, he is fine, but the symptoms of the previous poisoning do not seem to be fake.
Song Xiuyu also said that this place is indeed highly toxic to the human race......
There are more and more doubts in my heart, do we really have to complete the task of this divine ladder to know the answer?
………
The two of them slept all the way, hunted wild meat when they were hungry, slept on the trees when they were sleepy, and finally arrived at the gate of the royal capital after walking for a few days.
Along the way, they also met a few groups of people who went to the royal capital like them, and they also took the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of some unknown situations.
The king is seriously ill, and now the king is the king's favorite concubine - Mrs. Sang, it is rumored that this Mrs. Sang looks like a disaster for the country and the people, and was accidentally brought back to the royal capital by the king who went out to play, and has been favored so far.
Thinking that this Mrs. Sang is also a strange woman, it may be that this king is drunk and dizzy, and gradually let her control the government, and finally after he is seriously ill, no one can match.
After Mrs. Sang came to power, she recruited male favorites, and all men with good stature and good looks were not let go, and many officials could not accept women in power, and wanted to form a gang to rebel, but they were found dead at home one after another, and then no one dared to rebel.
Although this Mrs. Sang is lustful, she governs the fish country in an orderly manner, so the original opposition has gradually weakened.
"What a dream of a female college student is this life for Mrs. Sang......" Fang Chi thought back to the information he had found out about this Mrs. Sang, and his mouth was amazed.
After hearing this, Song Xiuyu's heart did not fluctuate much.
After a search by the soldiers in front of the city gate, the two men entered the city, turned around and asked one of the soldiers: "We have uncovered the list to kill the evil dragon, where are we going to gather?" ”
