Chapter Seventy-Three: The Empress

The barbarians returned to normal, brought bamboo baskets, collected the dead poisonous insects on the ground into the baskets, took some ashes burned from unknown things to cover up the blood of Granny Ajin, and cherished them in a jar and sealed them.

Dugu Nameless's footsteps are still so hearty, without the slightest stop, all the way to the village, the decisive Wushuang girl seems to be born to be her marionette, without the slightest resistance, with the behind, the footsteps are as small as possible, after all, it is still moving forward.

Su Li took a step forward, walking side by side with her, slightly beyond half of his body, his hands were cold, and the little hand of the peerless woman held his big hand.

There were many people gathered in the open space of the front village, and there was a large iron pot hanging on the bonfire in front of the attic, and the women were frying vegetables, the aroma was attractive, and it was already dusk.

The little girls were holding all kinds of flowers, luring poisonous bees, bright and dazzling butterflies, and palm-sized moths in twos and threes.

The boys fell to the ground, fighting with all kinds of poisons, like children fighting crickets outside, and the shouting was incessant.

The men are shirtless, with knotted muscles and all kinds of poisons tattooed.

A man with a green snake tattooed on his body sat cross-legged, holding a brown jar between his legs, and pounding it vigorously with a swarthy short stick.

There was a fishy smell in the air, Su Li was long, and when he looked at it, there was a large piece of flesh and blood in the jar, and there were a few tails that had not been beaten, and it could be guessed that the deity should be an eel, a small snake, and a pond horn fish.

A man with a spider tattoo on his body dug hard with a hoe, dug a one-meter-deep pit in the yellow earth, and put a round jar into it, the mouth of the altar had not been sealed, and it could be seen that there were four or five poisons inside.

Su Li guessed with limited knowledge, it was estimated that he was making Gu, and he heard that the barbarians were making Gu, and at noon in Duanyang, he walked out of his house and walked all the way, locking the five poisons he caught in a jar and burying them in the center of the house.

Let them fight and devour each other, and in the second year, Duanyang excavated and opened, and the remaining poison inside will mutate, or grow wings or four legs, looking like a unicorn and a strange bird, which can be used to deceive people's hearts.

It's just that today is the beginning of spring, why did he make Gu, Su Li didn't know much, and he didn't want to understand, he just wanted to leave this weird place quickly.

More men are boiling all kinds of decoctions, the taste is bitter, fragrant, choking, all of them are very viscous, it is estimated that they will be made into pills in the end, and I don't know if it is poison or antidote.

Su Li looked at everyone curiously, and everyone also looked at him curiously, and finally, their eyes fell on a small iron plate on his waist, which was the token given to him by the ghost servant.

An old man in his sixties, covered with dark muscles, went to the iron pot in front of his house and copied a large plate of things with a plate, and respectfully brought it over, without speaking, bowing his head and raising his head.

It seems that these are the die-hard people of the ghost servants, they are recognizable cards and do not recognize people, for Su Li, it is not a good thing, it can save a lot of trouble.

Qing'er quietly shrank to the side of the peerless girl, and poked her head out curiously, the plate exuded a faint fragrant fried incense, and inside were golden insect pupas, Su Li couldn't tell the difference, much larger than ordinary silkworm chrysalis and bee chrysalis.

He didn't speak, he grabbed a handful directly, put it in his mouth, it was very crispy, after biting it, it was full of juice, bitter and sweet, there was an indescribable taste, and he wanted to eat it again, and he was indeed hungry......

"Qing'er, it's delicious, taste it!"

"I have pastries!"

Seeing that Su Li finished eating a large plate of insect chrysalis, the old man was very satisfied, put his left hand on his chest, bowed to him, and the men everywhere also stood up and saluted him like an old man.

Su Li secretly rejoiced, thinking that it was because he was willing to eat their food that they were willing to submit, which was also a ritual or custom, and fortunately he was not allowed to drink all kinds of river fresh chowder in the jar.

……

Dugu Wuming was still striding in front, Su stayed in front of them for a tea time, she still walked in stride, kept a distance of about ten meters from them, and when Su moved forward from them, it was still ten meters away.

The building of the back village is the same as that of the front village, but the wooden structure looks brand new, the front village seems to have experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, it is very charming, and the back village is like a cottage version, imitating it is nondescript.

The only difference is that a tall statue stands next to the village, the statue is very mottled, it seems to have existed before the construction of the former village, the face of the statue has been blurred, but it can be judged by the figure, it is an extremely beautiful woman, wearing graceful and luxurious clothes, carving dragons and phoenixes, it seems that she is still a female emperor.

The peerless girl let go of Su Li's big hand, walked to the statue with her head down, knelt down respectfully, and muttered very strange words in her mouth, like chanting a mantra, and then bowing to the ground.

Su Li is very strange, the peerless girl is disrespectful to the heavens and the earth, and she has no father and no mother in her eyes, but she has such respect for an idol.

"Wushuang, twelve years ago, when you came back for the first time, you ignored the ghost servant child's front village and slaughtered the back village, you don't know how sad your mother was after you left

Your desperation is not one-tenth of what your mother expected, how much your mother wants to see you destroy the empress with your own hands, and then re-establish an empress, do you know, for a hundred years, only you have this qualification. ”

"The unequaled is standing, and the empress is back!"

The peerless girl looked up at the statue of the empress, her face was full of anger and joy, at this moment, she was the same person as Dugu Wuming.

"Since I was a child, I have read through the female ring, and the unparalleled oath is in my heart, and the glory returns to the barbarians!"

Dugu Wuming took the hand of the Wushuang girl, helped her up, his eyes were full of pity, and said softly: "Wushuang, you have to remember your identity and your own vocation, one day, you will destroy this empress with your own hands." ”

Syllable!

Dugu Nameless, Wushuang Nu and Qing'er all looked at Su Li in surprise, Su Li smiled and didn't explain, he just gave himself a slap.

Dugu Wuming stood in front of the Wushuang Girl, half a head shorter, the height of the Wushuang Girl was nearly one meter seven, Su Li lamented her taste in dressing, and her height of less than one meter six wore a figure of one meter seven.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, their faces were similar, they were very delicate and lovely, the picture was very beautiful, and an indescribable thought flashed in Su Li, and he gave himself a slap.

Dugu Nameless flashed a trace of idiot eyes and then retracted, took the hand of the peerless woman and walked to the depths of the village, the peerless girl passed by Su Li's side, turned her palm into a knife, and made a "cut" gesture, Su Li was very puzzled, looked at the peerless girl in surprise, scratched her head, and looked inexplicable.

They walked up to a wooden house, which was out of place with the surrounding area, like a "nail house", with an old wooden structure, no different from the previous village.

There are many children's gadgets inside, including small wooden horses, butterfly paper harriers, rattles, and small bells...... There is also a small wooden bed filled with dolls made of various materials.

"Hehehe!"

Qing'er smiled dumbly, playing with all kinds of toys, and loved to spare no time.

"If you like it, you can pick one."

"Thank you, sister."

Qing'er held a long-nosed puppet and shook a lion made of rags, shaking in front of Su Li's eyes.

"This!"

Su Li picked a lion for her, originally he wanted to say "take it all", but he knew that this was the place where the unequaled girl lived when she was a child, and he had no right to deal with everything in it.

"Hehehe!"

Qing'er kissed the lion head hard, and then put it behind her as if nothing happened, with a posture of "I'm not a child", but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

"Wushuang, this little wooden horse was made for you by your father back then, you are only a little girl, you can't walk, so you crawled to ride it, fell down, and cried there

Well, this long-nosed puppet, the ghost servant brother accidentally broke his neck, and you scolded him, and I don't know what you were scolding

Also, also, this little bed, you are really naughty, sleeping on it is not stable, crawling out all day long, once fell down, if it weren't for Ah Jin's fast hands, it is estimated that you would have become a crooked neck girl. ”

The peerless girl touched her childhood toy, her face showed the innocence of a child, and a shallow smile appeared on her face

In an instant, Su Li had a trace of regret, how snobbish and spicy the matchmaker in Yunzhou was...... Tahabava...... How real, how little a woman, how embarrassing the unparalleled woman at this moment.

"Wushuang, you have always been the treasure in your mother's heart......"

Dugu Nameless caressed the face of the peerless girl, and the peerless woman closed her eyes, lowered her head, and pressed her face tighter.

"You! You're so bad! ”

Qing'er exclaimed, silently, everything in the house was wiped out, including the entire house, if it weren't for the feeling of falling, Su Li still thought that he had entered the monster's cave, and everything was an illusion.

"Don't!"

With a wave of her hand, the peerless woman blocked in front of Qing'er, and the cloth lion in her hand was finally stayed.

"You! You bad woman! ”
