【237】Out of the mountain
"Husband, have you figured out how to talk to the co-workers?".
The night was also deep, and there was silence all around. The insects outside the house also seemed to be tired and stopped chirping, only the night breeze blew frequently, blowing softly.
Xiao Shizhu and his wife have returned to the clean and tidy room arranged for them by Chunyun, next to the cradle next to the bed, at this time, the ghost mother is holding on to the railing, gently and slowly shake it, turn her head to look at her curiously, put her palm on her shoulder Xiao Shizhu.
In the cradle, the sleeping Xiao Fuling let out a dream cry from her mouth, which made the ghost mother frown slightly, and hurriedly stopped shaking the cradle. Then Poria's pink cheeks showed a smile that was not touching the world, and I don't know if it was because the ghost mother stopped, or if she dreamed of something happy?
"Well, I'm angry when I talk about it. Xiao Shizhu frowned, and said in a deep voice unhappy: "I gave him very favorable conditions at the beginning, and I have always treated his people equally, this old ghost still plays with me to this day and refuses, and he keeps falling when he goes to Xuanwu Lake to fish." ”。
After speaking, a faint look of anger flashed on his face.
The ghost mother smiled slightly, rubbed her hands together a few times, until the cold palm was a little warm, then she reached out like a cradle, stretched out the soft little hand of Poria cocos outside the quilt, carefully lifted it, tucked it under the quilt, and stood up.
"Come on. The ghost mother took Xiao Shizhu's hand, took him to the bed and sat down, put her lips close to each other's ears, and muttered for a while.
Xiao Shizhu's eyes gradually dilated with her muttering, and when the ghost mother tongue was finished, Xiao Shizhu was still immersed in a stunned state, and only after a moment did he question blankly: "Is this feasible?"
"Of course. The ghost mother stared at the suspicion between his eyebrows, blinked her right eye very playfully, and said softly: "I heard you say a lot of things in the world, as if the world describes Gonggong as an evil god, but it is not. He's an admirer of his in-laws, I'm sure of that, otherwise he wouldn't have protected Su Tianju. ”。
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Isn't it mutually beneficial to protect Su Tianju and Su Tianju?"
"Hmm. The ghost mother bowed her head slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a non-governmental organization other than Su Tianju and the Mo family in the underworld?"
Xiao Shizhu thought about it again, and shook his head silently after a moment. Su Tianju is also a non-governmental organization, and their saints have no official position, and before that they were only "temporary workers" in the court of the Gonggong State.
"You also know a lot about your personality, and Su Tianju is a divine servant under his in-laws, a sect created; The ghost mother put away her smile and said solemnly: "If it weren't for the secret protection of the co-workers, Su Tianju would have been gone." ”。
A word woke up the person in the dream, Xiao Shizhu suddenly realized, and sighed leisurely: "It seems that the two worlds of yin and yang are going to fight for their father!" ......
Genius was faintly bright, and a gentle mist rose from the sea, coming ashore with the sea breeze like a veil, surrounding the edge of Twilight City for a long time, painting a layer of white between heaven and earth.
The south gate of Duxi City had just opened, and the two teams of Xiao Jiajun, who were dressed in civilian clothes and each carried only a single knife, escorted a four-wheeled carriage driven by King Kong and Chen Ruo and pulled by Jianwei, and slowly drove out of the city gate without the ghost noticing, and quietly headed towards the south.
And Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, who also changed into coarse linen clothes, as well as Lai Yueqi and Yingying, were taking Xiao Poria and sitting in this spacious car.
All the princes and kings of the underworld, including Emperor Xudu, dared to travel lightly with only a dozen guards, and I am afraid that only Xiao Shizhu would be the only one.
The guards and carriages followed the official road, through the city and through the town all the way to the south. Along the way, they lived in ordinary inns, and ate in restaurants or roadside stalls, not that Xiao Shizhu didn't want to live in the government, but that he didn't want to disturb the people.
He knew very well that once he moved into the official mansion, the local officials would be sincerely afraid, and they would all come to pat him on the back, and then it would be another period of hard work and loss of money.
Along the way, no local officials recognized Xiao Shizhu and them, nor did they cause any unnecessary trouble, let alone arouse any suspicion.
But the ghost mother, Lai Yueqi and Yingying, each of them are good-looking, and Chen Ruo is also handsome. Although they all changed into ordinary narrow-sleeved shirts, the gold, silver and jade utensils on their heads and hands were also removed. But they still can't hide their beauty and nobility. Every time you stay in the town, it will cause quite a stir and provoke many passers-by to stop and watch.
Xiao Shizhu was not only not jealous, but held his head high, smiling and looking around at the ghosts with a smile on his face, as if he was showing off to the audience.
Just like this, it took a month and a half before the team came to the northern suburbs of Yuque City.
"Lord...... Shopkeeper Xiao, we're almost there. King Kong, who was driving the carriage, turned his head and shouted into the car. When the micro-service went out on patrol, Xiao Shizhu was not allowed to call his subordinates his lord, and he was always called the shopkeeper or Xiao Yige.
In the car, Lai Yueqi, the ghost mother and Ying Ying talked and laughed about the topics that female ghosts can talk about, and Chen Ruo, who was taking care of Poria Cocos, also interjected a few words from time to time;
It's like a male lion surrounded by lionesses in a lion pack.
"Got it. After hearing King Kong's words, Xiao Shizhu opened his eyes, and after answering, he spoke: "Go to the side where the co-workers live." ”。 As he spoke, he closed his eyes slightly and continued to nap.
Anyway, he can't interject and isn't interested in the topic of female ghosts, so it's better to take advantage of this to get some sleep.
"Okay. King Kong whipped his whip, and the car continued to shake slightly, moving forward.
Under the white clouds, there are several huge water pines on the south shore of Xuanwu Lake, standing in the water close to the shore of the lake, and their bulging trough-like bases, deep in the underwater mud, support their tall trunks and luxuriant canopy.
In the morning light, the smoke rises from the surface of the lake, floating between the water pines, sometimes flipping, and the lake surface becomes a little blurred.
The co-workers with iron arms and tendons, wearing a hat on their heads, sat on the shore and calmly dropped the fish with a fishing rod in their hands. Not far behind him was a simple house with a roof made of reeds and straw.
A simple fence was built around the city with bamboo strips, and the house was enclosed in the middle. The courtyard gate facing north is also extremely simple, only three logs are used, and two vertical and one horizontal are built into a simple courtyard gate with meaning.
There are some fruits and vegetables planted in the yard, and a group of chickens are raised. The green-legged twisted chicken was staggering and pacing in the courtyard, surrounded by a group of noisy chicks.
That is where Gonggong lived after leaving the Yuque Palace.
Simple and simple, but there is a bit of chrysanthemum picking under the east fence, leisurely see the leisurely of Nanshan.
"Sir. A young blue-skinned soul dressed in short brown came out of the house, and suddenly saw a pair of ghosts guarding a four-wheeled cart in the west, and when they came towards it, they shouted excitedly to the co-workers: "It seems that a ghost is coming." ”。
"Don't make a noise!" After hearing this, the co-worker scolded angrily without thinking, and said angrily: "Come here, what's the fuss?
The little ghost didn't shout anymore after being scolded, but just muttered: "We don't usually have ghosts here." He picked up a handful of millet from the shelf next to the door and went to feed the chickens.
In less than a moment, the group of ghosts and the car came to a stop in front of the small courtyard. The little ghost in the courtyard looked at the ghosts curiously, but his face was a little timid, and he never took half a step out of the courtyard door, and stepped forward to ask.
Xiao Shizhu walked out of the car slowly, walked straight to the co-worker who was staring at the fishing line intently, not curious at all who was the ghost, and after glancing at the fish basket that did not contain a few fish at his feet, he asked with a smile: "Just these few fish?"
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Gonggong's bait bowl again, and then he said: "The bait is not good, you have to get some wheat flour for the freshwater fish in the lake." ”。
"Is the Nine Shadows King idle?" Gonggong still didn't look back, but said lightly: "Everyone has free time to swim to the grass people." ”。
Although the words are plain, there is a little resentment. He never got up, nor did he put down his fishing rod and salute.
Not far away, as soon as King Kong heard it, he raised his eyebrows, spit out the blade of grass in his mouth, and scolded what he learned from Xiao Shizhu: "I'll take it." Roll up your sleeves and jump out of the car to teach the grass people a lesson.
The ghost mother in the car noticed it, grabbed it, and said in a deep voice: "King Kong, don't get in the way." ”。
Xiao Shizhu smiled disappre一门ly, turned to face the lake, stared at the small ripples left by the dragonflies after dotting water on the lake, and said slowly: "I'm about to run out of leisure." Your old opponent Zhu Rong was killed by your righteous son Juhu and Wu Hui, who should be combined inside and outside, Wu Hui became more and more inflated, and he was already eyeing the land under your feet. ”。
"Forget it, the key is that I found out that your so-called Yizi Juhu is a secret agent of Emperor Xudu. Xiao Shizhu glanced at the corner of his eyes, and after hearing the word "Juhu", he inadvertently trembled slightly, and continued to say softly: "We all thought we had won, but we still couldn't escape the control of Emperor Xudu. He asked you to provoke the civil strife in Zhurong Kingdom, but he gave me a reasonable reason to annex you. He's the winner in life. ”。
The lake breeze brings up the fragrance emanating from the new shoots of the water pine, blowing the chest, cheeks and sideburns of Xiao Caryophyllus and Gonggong.
"So what?" Gonggong's originally calm and calm expression changed, and then he quickly regained his composure, and slowly arrived after a faint smile.
"We are all his puppets, are you willing?" Xiao Shizhu stood with his hands in his hands, still staring at the level of the lake in front of him, but his face was narrow, and he said solemnly: "I don't want to be a puppet, I want to resist, so I want to invite you out of the mountain." ”。
