Chapter 57 Short hands should naturally be done well
"Boatman, how much do you know about the Miao Yi Clan? Are they, do they have some special customs? ”
"Eh, there are many special customs of the Miao Yi Clan, for example, they are proficient in all kinds of Gu arts, they like to use poisonous insects to refine Gu, and use Gu insects to influence and manipulate others...... I also heard that the Miao Yi clan is the descendant of the ancient Chiyou Lord, and every year there will be an event to worship the Chiyou Lord, if you have the opportunity to see it, it is naturally good, but why did the girl ask this? ”
"I ......" Jiu Yao opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she was tugged at her cuffs by Li Ergou.
reacted, and immediately silenced and did not speak, only smiled at the boatman in embarrassment.
Over there, Li Ergou also smiled and started a round,
"I don't know anything about the boat, my sister has been curious about some mysterious things since she was a child, what witches, what astronomical stars, and all kinds of strange wild history and legends......"
"Haha, it's okay, it's not a big deal for young people to have unusual hobbies, anyway, I also have a son, who is about the same age as this girl, and he likes to run around the most, and he can't be bolted, so that he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet...... Hahahaha, it made the guest officers laugh!
As he spoke, the boatman couldn't help but laugh heartily, and the action of holding the boat became more vigorous.
In his mouth, he couldn't help but sing a ballad, and the song echoed in the sky.
"It's dark and dark, it's going to rain, whose sister sits under the eaves, embroidering flowers ......"
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, and the three of them sat on the boat for several hours, and it was not easy for the boatman to support the boat.
A small harbor appeared in front of him, and the ship resolutely docked at the edge of the harbor and tied its bow.
By the harbor, there are girls of all ages in plain skirts who come together to wash vegetables and clothes by the river.
Jiu Yao took a big step forward and said softly, "Dare to ask the girls, what kind of cottage is nearby?" We outsiders have just arrived and want to spend a night in the cottage, if you are willing to lead the way, this is your reward. ”
He took out a few silver ingots from his bosom and shook them in front of the girls, but unfortunately most of the girls ignored them, but the youngest took the silver excitedly, bit it and put it into his arms.
In the reproachful eyes of the girls, the little girl said very quickly, "There is a Baihua Pass nearby, and there is a Baihua Village in the Baihua Pass, if you give more silver, I will take you there myself!" ”
Come to think of it, my mother has been sick and bedridden for many years, but her income from Huanyi is very meager.
Everything that can be pawned at home has been pawned, but it is still not good.
Seeing that the silver is about to run out, and not being able to buy medicine is a dead end, and she will also become an orphan without a home, and now that she has the opportunity to make a lot of money, she naturally refuses to let it go easily.
"Okay." Li Ergou took out a small bag of broken silver and stuffed it into the little girl's arms with a big grin, "Oh, is so much silver enough?" If you are insatiable, this business will not be done! ”
"Enough, enough, thank you big brothers!"
Picking up the broken silver, the little girl smiled and walked briskly ahead.
After taking a few steps, Fu turned around and said happily, "What are you waiting for?" Hurry up and keep up, if you delay until the evening, the road will not be easy to walk! ”
"Okay, okay, keep up!"
Hurried all the way, and finally saw a huge bamboo plaque, with three big characters of "Baihuazhai" on it.
"When the destination arrives, the guest officers are still invited in, but don't go out after dark, otherwise I'm afraid you will encounter a snake that will rob people."
A snake that robs people? What should a robbing snake look like?
Before Li Ergou could continue to ask, he saw that the little girl had already carried a vegetable basket and a basket of clothes, and jumped through the gate and walked into the village.
Before she could step forward, Mo Hanxue suddenly grabbed Jiu Yao's arm and deliberately lowered her voice, "Miss Jiu, have you noticed a strange aura?" This Baihuazhai seems unusual. ”
Strange breath? It's okay not to say it, but Jiu Yao also noticed something strange, the breath is not demonic but turbid, and there should be some very powerful monsters entrenched nearby.
"Eh, don't be so nervous, doesn't it mean that there are strange snakes in the stockade that will rob people? This should be the breath of a basilisk, our spells are so strong, are we still afraid of snakes? ”
Oh, yes...... What's so scary about a basilisk? She used to be an immortal, and she fought with the most powerful Demon Venerable!
After entering the village, I quickly found an inn and booked three rooms, and ordered a table of sumptuous local dishes.
After dinner, I saw the flowers and beautiful scenery by the nearby stream, so I planned to go to Yoyo Bend to eat.
Baihuazhai deserves to be called Baihuazhai, with flowers in full bloom, green grass, and all kinds of bees and butterflies, lingering among the flowers.
Li Ergou happily rushed into the flowers and pounced on a golden butterfly, but before he could show off enough, the butterfly suddenly burst into flames.
Not far away, Mo Hanxue held back a smile and said, "This is the Red Flame Butterfly, which has the purest fire-based spell, which is rare in the world. ”
This is the Red Flame Butterfly? When the words fell, Li Ergou hurriedly let go of his hand like lightning, and the red flame butterfly fluttered its wings and flew away, and the fingers that pinched the butterfly showed a burning sensation like a drill.
Before he could continue playing, there was a faint whimpering sound not far away, and he followed the sound to find the past, and the whimpering person was a thinly dressed young man.
I looked closer, but I saw that the young man was still holding a wooden hairpin in his hand, and perhaps because he was clenching it too tightly, his slender knuckles began to whiten.
"Dare to ask this little brother, why are you crying here?"
Li Ergou walked over and gently rubbed the fine hair on the top of the young man's head, "If there is any difficulty, just say it, maybe we can help!" ”
"The snake demon, it's the snake demon!"
Wiping his tears, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "I lost my father and mother since I was a child, and I can only rely on my grandmother for my life, but a few days ago, I was sick and my grandmother helped me grab medicine late at night, and I have never been home since...... Later, some villagers said that most of the grandma was taken away by the snake demon, and they all blamed the hateful and damned snake demon! ”
Snake Demon? It's a snake demon again, what is the origin of this snake demon!
Jiu Yao carefully squatted down and whispered, "What else do you know about the snake demon?" Rest assured, we won't sit idly by. ”
After all, he is a god, and he has also enjoyed the worship of the people's temples, so he should naturally do a good job with a short hand, and take it as his responsibility to protect the common people.
"Yes, what the hell is the snake demon, please explain!"
The young man's desire to speak stopped again, which also aroused Li Ergou's curiosity, and he was bound to break the casserole and ask to the end.
