Chapter 17: Disappearing
Qiao Xuan's eyes flashed, and he casually threw out a heavenly thunder talisman, "Click!" With a bang, the purple thunder struck the center of the big willow tree with sparks, and the body of the tree suddenly became two halves.
Xi He, who was watching from afar, had wide eyes, and he was shocked, he didn't expect Qiao Xuan to have such a terrifying ability at such a young age.
"Ahh~" A hoarse and shrill voice sounded.
"The old tree has become a spirit, and it kills people's lives, so I don't use this Heavenly Thunder Talisman unjustly!" After Qiao Xuan occupied the absolute advantage, he walked briskly closer.
"Cheap girl is nosy!"
Qiao Xuan sneered, threw out a talisman again, closed his eyes and recited a spell in his mouth.
The fire was blazing, and the surrounding area became unbearably hot, and the sound of the old trees that had been breathing for a long time gradually disappeared, and everything was reduced to ashes.
With all this happening, the original green of the whole road suddenly turned into a withered yellow, Xi He looked around, shocked, he saw this magical scene for the first time.
"The previous lushness was just as much an illusion as those sounds, and when it disappears, these are naturally shattered."
Qiao Xuan walked back to Xi He's side and explained with a puzzled face.
"Just now?"
"All things have spirits, that willow tree has lived for so many years, maybe it has encountered a little chance, but unfortunately it didn't grasp it well, and it gave birth to evil spirits" Qiao Xuan shook his head and sighed, the master said that he must be vigilant at any time, and he must not go crooked and give birth to evil thoughts.
Especially people like them must be strict with themselves, and they must not lose their hearts because of the temptation of mortal dust.
"Let's go!"
Retracting his thoughts, Qiao Xuan put on a smiling look again, and said brightly: "There will be no accidents on this road in the future!" ”
"Hmm!"
Xi He responded, and his curiosity about Qiao Xuan became more and more intense.
When I returned to Taoyuan Village, I didn't expect a bunch of people to gather around the entrance of the village and be chattering about something, and they were looking in the direction of the road while talking.
"It's Qiao Xuan!" Li Yue's voice in the crowd rose sharply, "The village chief is back!" They didn't die. ”
Qiao Xuan and Xi He glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched, what is said, is it possible that these people are looking forward to their death? Thinking of this, she asked angrily: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Village Chief, nothing happened on this road, did you?"
"We saw a purple lightning bolt in the sky, and the trees over there seemed to be on fire."
Xi Yan stood next to Li Yue, her eyes were red, and she was obviously relieved after looking Qiao Xuan and Xi He up and down.
During the waiting time, the people around her were saying that Qiao Xuan and her brother would die, and she was going to be scared to death when she talked about all kinds of evil things that happened on that road, for fear that Qiao Xuan and Xi He would have an accident.
Sensing her emotions, Xi He walked over and stood beside her, and said in a soothing voice: "We're fine!" ”
"I know what you say!" Qiao Xuan jumped on a big rock and said loudly: "The thunder you saw struck the largest willow tree, and killed what you were afraid of. ”
"Nothing will happen on that road again!"
"Cut! I don't believe it," Sun Ergou, the man standing at the front, rolled his eyes disdainfully, with a deceitful expression on his face, "You just coaxed us to build the road obediently." ”
The others did not speak, skeptical.
"You have seen the thunder, and you have seen the firelight, if you still don't believe it, then you don't need to build this road."
Qiao Xuan was not used to these people, so he jumped off the stone and pushed the others away, "Tomorrow the road will be repaired, those who come will sign up on the spot, and those who don't come will do their own thing." ”
Xi He and Xi Yan followed behind her and left.
The three of them returned home and rested for a while and began to prepare lunch, when there was a sharp knock on the courtyard door.
As soon as Xi Yan opened the door, Li Yue flexibly ran into the courtyard.
"What? What are you doing in here? Something to say outside! ”
Xi Yan looked at everyone in Taoyuan Village like a thief since her things were stolen, and she was always vigilant, but now she was immediately unhappy when she saw Li Yue coming in, and her tone was not good.
Li Yue was taken aback by Xi Yan's attitude, obviously the two of them got along well when they walked back and forth from the intersection of Qingfeng Village together, why did they suddenly get angry and unhappy?
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Xuan walked out of the kitchen, his two sleeves rolled up high.
Seeing her, Li Yue immediately put Xi Yan's attitude behind her, and leaned forward with a smile, "Our family has discussed it, and we will go to repair the road with the village chief tomorrow." ”
The main reason is that I feel that the fifty dollars fall into other people's pockets, and my family can't get a penny, and it doesn't feel good.
"Hmmm! I know, yes, I am conscious. ”
Qiao Xuan gave Li Yue a rare good look.
"What, I'll go tomorrow as well as the village chief!" Another head poked out of the doorway, and he spoke with a flattering smile on his face.
"Counting my family" I can't afford to eat the poor, and now I have to seize the opportunity to make money even if I risk my life.
Qiao Xuan went out and took a look, and there were a total of eight families, all of which were the thinnest families in the village, and half of them were lonely people who had no father or mother to feed the whole family and not go hungry.
"Okay! Tomorrow morning you will meet at my house. ”
"Good!" Everyone was very happy to see that Qiao Xuan didn't refuse because of what happened just now.
After waiting for them to leave, Xi Yan said: "I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on them alone, I have to find some more people." ”
"I'll go to town in the afternoon and find some people," Qiao Xuan said with a smile that he didn't have to worry, these things can be solved.
She is bound to stir up a storm in the village in the matter of building roads, and one of the four people who killed the original owner has been punished as they deserve, and there are three who are good, how can she let them go so easily?
Xi Yan shuddered, she felt that Qiao Xuan's expression was terrifying at this moment, giving her a feeling that someone was going to be unlucky.
"I may have to trouble you to keep an eye on your home for a while."
Qiao Xuan is obviously younger than Xi Yan in terms of age and size, but he looks like a little adult, speaks and acts calmly, and has his own ideas.
"Don't worry! I'll keep an eye on it," Xi Yan swore assurance.
She may not be good at other things, but she is also methodical in doing things at home, and she is a good housekeeper.
"I'll accompany you to the town in the afternoon" Xi He's voice came from behind the two, and he didn't know when he also walked out and stood a few steps away from Qiao Xuan and Xi He.
"I'm familiar with the town and know where to hire people."
His reason was reasonable, Qiao Xuan couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and agree, "Then I'll trouble you!" ”
"Yes" Xi He's voice was low and good, and a pair of deep eyes stared at Qiao Xuan.
Seeing that her brother got along well with Qiao Xuan, Xi Yan was very happy.
