Chapter 121: Awesome, Dao Chief
"Woman, Jiang is a little old."
"You know what? It's the taste of home! β
The woman glanced at him, although she ate poorly, and her mouth was very bland, but she was not ashamed to let people see it: "You don't believe it, this jar of sauerkraut is still found from your house, after my predecessor died, I went to clean up the house for him, and I didn't find a few money, but I found this jar of treasure, hey, I can't soak it myself!" β
"I see."
"Are the apricot blossoms pretty?"
"Beautiful, spectacular and picturesque." Song You said, "On the way back, I saw a person. β
"Who? Emperor? β
"General Chen Ziyi."
"Oh, thunder......"
The woman said this, but her expression was very calm, her eyes stared at the street in front of her, and she picked up the bowl and took two bites, as if she had no love because she had eaten too badly.
There was an itch in her legs, and when she looked down, she saw that it was the cat that was raising her legs, standing upright, stretching her neck and trying to look at her bowl.
The woman lowered the bowl to her, and picked up a small piece of ginger and handed it to her.
Sanhua Niangniang sniffed it, turned her head and walked away.
ββ¦β¦β
"Heroine has finished reading the list?"
"I've got it, wait until I'm done eating......"
The woman took another bite of ginger with a blank face, finished the last two mouthfuls of paste in the bowl, and then turned back to the house.
Song You also opened the door of his house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw the woman next door coming in, different from the previous life without love, at this time she was already full of energy, holding a list in her hand: "I heard that the silver reward is twenty taels, but only the beginning of the list was revealed a few times, the person who unveiled the list either could not find the mountain monster, or was eaten by the mountain monster, and then no one dared to unveil the list easily, I heard that the mountain monster ate two people yesterday, which made people panic, and one or two people did not dare to go that way, and the yamen added the reward to thirty taels." β
By the way, put that list on the table:
"The bounty list is here."
"Trust the Woman."
"When are we leaving?"
"It's better to eat countless people, or as soon as possible."
"Tomorrow morning, then?"
"Good!"
"Knock on the wall tomorrow morning."
"Good ......"
That's a great idea.
The woman went back with the bounty list.
Song You also went out to buy vegetables and came back to cook.
When I first came to Changjing, I was indeed short of money, and I ate gruel for several days, my stomach was screaming every day, and my mouth was about to crack, but thanks to the blessing of Sanhua Niangniang, I have eaten well recently.
Cook a bowl of multigrain rice and stir-fry a rotten meat pea.
Sanhua Niangniang turned into a human form and lit a fire for him, saying while burning the fire: "Taoist priest, I'm not going to catch rats tonight." β
"Good ......"
"I'll go back later."
"Huh?" Song You glanced down at her, "Is Sanhua Niangniang also going to catch mountain monsters?" β
"That's right."
"Good ......"
Song You can also figure out her character.
Sanhua Niangniang is not only a cat god, but her personality is natural and independent, but she is simple-minded, and she will be sticky after getting along with people for a long time.
"yesβ"
Sanhua Niangniang sent another handful of firewood to the stove, and suddenly raised her head: "How much money do you earn from catching ghosts, Taoist priests?" β
"I haven't got it yet."
"Don't have any money?"
"I just didn't get it."
"How much money is there?"
"We said we would divide each of them into fifteen taels."
Song You showed a hint of a smile.
Today we discussed how to distribute the reward, one was to look at the list and inquire about the information, and to unveil the list and hand over the list, one burned all the female ghosts to death, it's hard to say which one made the most contribution, the wonderful thing is that both of them felt sorry for each other for half of the money, and they felt ashamed.
Maybe it's good to get along this way.
Sanhua Niangniang couldn't understand it, stared straight at him, expressionless, and only turned her head to show her doubts:
"What are you laughing at?"
"Think of something glad about."
"How much is fifteen taels?"
"It's fifteen taels."
"Is it much?"
"A lot."
"Which is more than five hundred dollars?"
"Fifteen taels should be a little more."
"How much?"
"It's hard to say."
"How many days can Sanhua Niangniang earn fifteen taels by catching rats?"
ββ¦β¦β
"How many days can Sanhua Niangniang earn fifteen taels by catching rats?"
"It could take a few more days."
"How many days?"
"You can always earn it if you work hard."
"Ten days?"
"It's going to take a little longer."
"How long?"
"More than half a year."
ββ¦β¦β
The girl lowered her head and silently delivered firewood.
"Sneer......"
The ginger and garlic are put into the pot, and countless small bubbles bubble up from the hot oil.
The woman shrank upstairs next door, listening to the snorting sound of the spatula rubbing against the iron pot when stir-frying next door, smelling the fragrance that gradually came, and her expression was dull.
β¦β¦
The next morning, the sound of banging on the wall woke people up.
The rotten meat peas are too good for rice, a bowl fried yesterday, a meal may not have eaten a third, and I don't know how many days I have to go out today, so Song You had to go next door and invite the woman over to eat together.
After the meal, the woman went out with a knife.
She is still better at using a knife than a sword.
Long knives are the best.
There are blacksmith shops and sword shops in Changjing City, all of which sell swords, so naturally you can bring knives into the city. However, you can't enter the city with a sword, that is, you can't walk on the street with a sword for no reason, and now Wu Nuxia has unveiled the demon hunting list of the Sansi Yamen, and if she wants to go outside the city to get rid of the demon, she is not afraid to pass by the official sergeant to inspect.
Bought some dry food along the way, and the woman rushed to give the money.
After a short time, the two left the city again.
A yellow-maned horse, a three-flowered cat.
The three-flowered cat still took small steps, running ahead, and from time to time looked up at the yellow-maned horse, feeling that it was smaller than its own horse, and it was very satisfied.
"The wild goose returns to the mountain, about eighty miles away from Changjing, and it should be taken this way." Wu Nuxia pointed in one direction with a knife.
"It's a long way off."
"Changjing is like this, except for the most recent time, the city used to be very peaceful, after all, it is the capital, few demons and monsters dare to make trouble in the city, and there are few demons and monsters near the city, but there are too many people coming and going in Changjing, far away from Changjing, going out for dozens of miles and hundreds of miles, there are often demons and monsters making trouble." Wu Nuxia paused for a moment and glanced at him, "I knew that I would often come out to do these jobs, and you should have put your horse in the city to raise." β
"I'm not riding anyway."
"Oh, you can't ride."
"It's time for spring."
"It's really relaxing."
Wu Nuxia didn't say anything, she also looked left and right, and then continued: "I heard that the wild goose back to the mountain is very big, the grass and trees are lush, I am afraid it is not easy to find a mountain monster who grew up in the mountain and is good at change, when the time comes, see what immortal means the Taoist immortal master has, as long as you find it, give it to me first, I want to see if the mountain monster is the same as the ghost, and the knife can't cut it." β
"Let's go."
"I heard that this mountain is still a bit evil."
"What kind of evil law?"
"There are always some harmful demons and monsters in this wild goose back to the mountain, either a mountain monster or a wild ghost, or a monster that has become a spirit, and if you catch this and that, you can't kill it."
"It should be full of aura, so it gives birth to spirits, and if there are many spirits, there will always be people who can't resist the temptation and kill them."
"Awesome, Dao Chief......"
Wu Nuxia's sentence "Awesome, Dao Chang" sounds as easy and casual as saying "There is a stone on the side of the road".
Eighty miles of road, walking fast can also get half an afternoon.
Wu Nuxia often rode a horse to the front to ask for directions, to ensure that she did not make a mistake, sometimes playing in front and waiting for them, sometimes running back to pick them up, chatting with them.
I saw that it was time for the geese to return to the mountain.
happened to meet an old man on the side of the road, so Wu Nuxia asked him for directions.
"Old man, there are geese returning to the mountain ahead."
"What are you going to do there?"
"We're going to the county in front of us, and we're going to pass through the wild goose back to the mountain, and we're two of us, a little scared, and we have the bottom of our hearts to ask." Wu Nuxia's eyes rolled and said, "I don't know if the wild goose is back to the mountain or if we have accidentally walked by, if only we had walked by." β
"Then you have to be careful, the wild goose back to the mountain is in front, and there are still ten miles."
The old man looked at them with a pair of cloudy eyes: "There have been monsters on the mountain recently, and they are said to be bigger than oxen, which is very scary." The government sent people to catch him several times, and when they heard that they couldn't catch him again, they would send officers and soldiers to burn the mountain. Many people want to pass by there, all in a hurry, gather a wave of people to go together, and the mountain monsters see that there are many people, so they dare not come out to make trouble. β
"Thank you, old man."
"No thanks, no thanks......"
The old man waved his hands and walked away with the basket on his back.
Wu Nuxia glanced at Song You.
Song You only smiled: "The woman is cautious." β
"I heard that the mountain monster will change, and it will become the grass and trees on the mountain, I don't know if it has the ability to become a human." Wu Nuxia pursed her lips, "Walking the rivers and lakes, it's not a bad thing to be careful." β
"Reasonable."
After more than ten miles, we will reach Yanhui Mountain.
This mountain is high and goes straight into the clouds.
Wu Nuxia raised her head high, and couldn't help frowning: "Such a big mountain, even if the gods want to find where a spirit is hidden, I'm afraid they have to search the mountain, right?" β
"Maybe."
"What can you do?"
Wu Nuxia turned her head to look at the Taoist beside her.
But I saw the Taoist raise his head and look at a big tree next to him.
If you look closely, you can see that there is a bird's nest in the tree.
What do you mean?
Wu Nuxia was puzzled, and saw that there was a sudden movement in the bird's nest, and a black bird's head was drilled.
Is it a crow?
Then I saw the Taoist bow to the crow:
"Under the surname Song Mingyou, it is polite. I heard that there is a mountain monster on this mountain, and he often lives on the side of the road, but I don't know if I have seen it, and can I tell Zai Xia where it usually lives? β
Can this also be done?
Wu Nuxia blinked her eyes, looked at this person, and then looked at this crow.
"Ahh
I saw that the crow turned its head and looked at the top of a certain mountain in the distance, and cried out, and the voice was bleak.
"Is there a way up the mountain?"
"Ah~"
"Thank you."
The Taoist arched his hand, took out a bag of vegetable leaves from the blanket, opened the vegetable leaves, which were full of shredded meat, he picked out a few and hung them on the leaves next to him:
"A few shredded meats, not a tribute."
"Ah~"
"Let's go."
The Taoist should go to the other side of the hill first.
Wu Nuxia's eyes widened, to be honest, she would never have imagined that the method that the Taoist said was this.
"Awesome, Dao Chief......"
Wu Nuxia was happy, holding a knife and following.
