Chapter 22: The Book Seller
Yehong and Miaomiao came to the inn, and just happened to bump into the coachman Uncle Li coming out,
"Childe, I just met you, this is your room key, I live on the second floor, I also live next to it, you can come to me if you have anything. I'm going to feed the horses first. ”
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li."
"Brother Yehong, that person doesn't seem to be in the inn, but in the courtyard inside"
Yehong and Miaomiao came to the courtyard behind the inn, there was only one old man chopping firewood in the yard, although it was not very fast, but the movements were very skillful, and it looked like it had been chopping firewood for decades.
"Miaomiao, you can't be talking about this old man!"
Miao Miao replied with a serious face, "Well, yes, what I feel is him." ”
At this time, the old man in the courtyard also noticed the two children at the entrance of the courtyard, and put down the firewood knife in his hand, "Where did you come from, little dolls?" Can't find anyone in your family? ”
Seeing the old man asking the two of them, Yehong hurriedly replied, "Hello, old man!" We saw that there was a big yard here, so we were curious, what are you doing, old man? ”
The old man said with a smile, "Hehe~ I'm chopping wood, you better stay away from here, in case the flying wood accidentally hurts you, it's not good, go back." ”
Yehong asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, why are you still chopping wood here at such an old age?" ”
"You little doll really doesn't recognize life, if my grandson is still here, he should be as big as you, hey~." When the old man saw the little boy asking himself a question, he suddenly felt a little sad.
"Grandpa, what about your grandson?"
"He, I can't see him again, when I was young, I followed his father to hunt in the mountains, and I was accidentally eaten by a demon beast, hey~ No one thought that there would be a demon beast there." The old man seemed to be missing, a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and Yehong hurriedly helped the old man wipe it.
The old man looked at the little boy who was wiping his tears kindly, "When people are old, they are easy to talk a lot, and they have told you so much, go back to your family, otherwise they will be in a hurry." ”
"That'······ Goodbye, old man! Yehong and the old man said goodbye and returned to the inn's room.
After Miaomiao returned to the room, she couldn't bear to say, "That old man is a little pitiful. ”
"Well, yes, it's really pitiful, but the old man is so old, we can't help him if we want to."
After Ye Hong and the two had dinner in the room, Ye Hong let Miao Miao cultivate, and he went out of the room to the corridor to listen to the chatter of the diners below, but he didn't get any useful information, just some short gossip and bragging.
After a while, he returned to his room and watched Miao Miao cultivate. Because it's really boring, I don't know how many times I've read the exchange exercises, and there's nothing to study, so I can only look at Miaomiao in a daze.
If there's anything else you can't study and don't understand, it's just what's in front of you. How can Miao Miao cultivate so quickly, his comprehension ability is so strong, and there is such a plug-in of the Shadow Sword.
As for why Yehong only let Uncle Li open a room, it is because when he is away, Yehong is worried about Miaomiao's safety, and Miaomiao doesn't know how to deal with it if there is an accident in the unfamiliar place, anyway, he is only nine years old now, and it's okay to live together, Miaomiao is not the first time to sleep with herself, and the last time she was slipped into her room by this little girl, she didn't settle accounts with her.
Yehong looked fine, he was tired after a day's journey, and he fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
When he woke up the next day, Yehong habitually touched the side, and sure enough, Miaomiao was lying beside him again. Yehong looked at Miaomiao's sleeping appearance carefully, "Don't say it, Miaomiao's sleeping appearance is so cute, I really want to pinch it on my face." ”
Miaomiao seemed to feel that someone was looking at her, opened her eyes in a daze and woke up, looked at Yehong who was looking at her, and said glutinously, "Brother Yehong, it's early." ”
Yehong pinched Miaomiao's face and said happily, "Morning! Miaomiao, get up, let's have breakfast and go. ”
After another day of traveling, Yehong and his party finally came to Dihai City in the evening. Stayed at an inn in the city, and asked the innkeeper about the situation in Dihai City and where he could enter the mountain range.
In the room, Yehong said, "I heard Xiao Er say that if you want to enter the mountain range, you have to go from the north of the city, let's go to the market over there tomorrow first, buy some supplies in the city and then enter the mountain range." ”
"Well, listen to Brother Yehong!"
The next day, Yehong took Miaomiao and the two to the market in the north of the city, looking at the dazzling things on both sides of the street, "I have to say that Dihai City is bigger than Xihai City, it makes sense, the street is obviously much more prosperous than Xihai City, and there are many things that I have never seen, let's go!" Miaomiao, let's have a good look. ”
"Come and see, fresh deer antlers, cheap to sell for only a hundred wind coins!"
"The green monkey that has just been caught, only 700 wind coins to take home! Don't miss it when you walk by. ”
Yehong looked at the green monkey in the cage curiously, "Is this a demon beast?" Curious! It feels a bit like a zoo monkey. ”
Miaomiao also saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but be curious, "Brother Yehong, can he eat people?" ”
Ye Hong was a little embarrassed when Miao Miao asked what she didn't know, "I don't know, there is no record of demon beasts in the books in Mo Wenxuan's library. I'll have to look around the city to see if there are any books about introducing monsters. ”
"Just heard you want to buy a book? What books do you want to buy? What kind of little yellow book do I have, martial arts secrets, the emperor's harem secrets, everything, don't want ninety-ninety-eight, just ninety-eight, take the new book home, little brother, come to one? ”
Yehong looked up at the person who was talking to him just now, and in front of him was a little girl who was a head taller than herself, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
“······ Are you sure you have serious books to sell? ”
"Why not, you come with me, I'll take you to get it."
At this time, Miaomiao whispered something in Yehong's ear, Yehong looked at the girl in front of him quietly after hearing it, and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I urgently need a book about introducing demon beasts now, can you find it for me." ”
The girl led the two to the mouth of an alley, "You wait here for me, I'll fetch it for you right away." After saying that, the girl disappeared into the alley in a blink of an eye.
"Miaomiao, can you feel where she went?"
"She went into the alley and went into that place, and then she never moved. Brother Yehong, are we going over? As she spoke, she pointed to a place in the alley.
Yehong leaned against the tree next to him and said leisurely, "No, we'll just wait here and see what tricks she can come up with." ”
After a while, the girl walked out of the alley, came to Yehong's side, and raised the booklet in her hand to Yehong, and the four big characters of the monster encyclopedia could be seen on the cover.
"The book is here, pay the money in one hand and hand in the book in the other!" After speaking, he immediately stretched out his other hand to Yehong, signaling Yehong to give money.
"Well, the money is here, exactly ninety-eight." Yehong took out a money bag, handed it to the girl, and grabbed the book in the girl's hand with one hand. The girl let go of her grip on the book after taking the money bag in her hand, and then disappeared into the alley in an instant.
Yehong took the book and opened it to see that it was full of villains, the same as ghost drawings, the same as the paintings drawn by three-year-old children.
Miao Miao also saw the contents of the book next to her, "Brother Yehong, this ······ Do you want me to chase her back? ”
"No, we'll just wait here, she'll be back in a minute." After Ye Hong finished speaking, he indifferently walked to a place next to him and sat down.
After a while, the girl returned to the alley angrily, looking for Yehong everywhere, "You are here!" You little liar, you actually lied to me, give me money! ”
Ye Hong saw the girl standing in front of him angrily, just glanced at the girl lightly, then opened the book and said, "I don't know who is a liar, this calligraphy and painting, tsk tsk~ The three-year-old children next to my house are better than this." ”
When the girl saw Yehong say this, she was even more angry, and snatched the book from Yehong's hand, "You, you, you~ Return the book to me, I won't sell the book!" ”
Ye Hong was not annoyed when he saw that the book in his hand was robbed, he stretched out his hand to the girl in front of him, and said lightly, "I said that you don't sell this book, should you return my money to me?"
"What money! Your money bag is full of leaves, and you don't have any money at all! The girl said angrily.
"I've given you money, do you want to deny it? I have a testimony for this. Believe it or not, I immediately reported to the official and said that you cheated me and didn't pay it back. Yehong looked at the girl viciously, and pulled Miaomiao aside as he spoke.
Miao Miao instantly understood Yehong's meaning, "Yes! There's money in the purse, so give it back to us. ”
When the girl heard Yehong say that she wanted to report to the official, her face changed dramatically in an instant, and she ran away.
Yehong was also surprised to see that the girl ran away and disappeared, "This girl is so afraid of being arrested?" Miaomiao, can you sense where she has gone? ”
"Hmmm! Brother Yehong come with me. ”
Yehong was led by Miaomiao to the street not far away, and saw the girl mixed in the crowd at a glance, Yehong quietly went over and patted the girl, "Where are you going?" If you don't pay me back, I'll have to report to the official! ”
"Ahh The girl screamed and ran away again.
Seeing that the girl was missing again, Yehong was not in a hurry, and said to Miaomiao beside her, "Miaomiao, continue to sense her location, and we will follow." ”
As for why Yehong is not in a hurry and can still let Miaomiao sense the girl's location, it is because when she first met the girl before, Miaomiao sensed that this girl had the same dark spirit root as herself, so Yehong was so interested in this girl.
The main thing is to try to see how this girl's character is, if the character is not good, Yehong doesn't plan to teach this girl to cultivate.
In this way, the girl ran once and found her again soon after, and after repeating it several times, the girl came to an alley and hid.
