Chapter 37: The Night of the Interpretation
After dinner, it was getting late, Meng Yan tidied up the ground a little, and said softly: "It's late at night, little girl should rest early." Sleep is essential during formative years. ”
The maiden listened to him and lay down. Meng Yan was a little unbearable, so he casually found a flat stone and put it under her head, as if it was a simple pillow.
The girl's bright eyes looked at Meng Yan, and suddenly asked, "Brother, aren't you sleeping?" ”
Meng Yan stroked the girl's hair and responded with a smile: "Have you forgotten, I am a monster and have little need for sleep." Sleep in peace, my brother will keep vigil, lest the well-behaved girl be taken away by wolves...... Sleep well, there is still a way to go tomorrow. ”
Seeing the girl close her eyes and fall asleep, Meng sat down cross-legged, looked at the scroll left by the beautiful woman, felt the demonic power surging in her body, and then closed her eyes and began to practice.
Time passed in a hurry, and in the middle of the night, Meng was concentrating on cultivation anyway, when he suddenly heard a strange sound, he hurriedly investigated, and found that it was the sound of a girl trembling.
Even if there is a campfire at night, the chill is still difficult to get rid of, especially on the ground, which is difficult to get enough warmth. Especially a ten-year-old girl is not immune to the bitter cold.
Meng Yan looked at the trembling girl apologetically, and made up his mind that he would make money tomorrow, live in the inn in the future, and never repeat the scene in front of him.
After making up his mind, Meng Yan approached gently, gently picked up the girl, lay down side by side with her, and let her snuggle in his arms.
"Brother." The girl muttered sleepily.
"Sleep in peace, little girl, my brother is here with you." Meng Yan soothed softly, and then breathed his luck, and the warmth in his body gradually flowed.
The warmth dispelled the cold, and the girl quickly fell asleep, Meng Yan looked at her peaceful sleeping face, finally let go of her thoughts, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Faintly, it seemed that the sky had dawned. Meng reluctantly rolled over in his dream, trying to avoid the glare of the sun. However, he suddenly heard an "oh" sound, and at the same time felt a soft texture underneath him. Meng Yan hurriedly opened his eyes and found that the girl had been woken up by him and was looking at him with strange eyes.
"I'm sorry." Meng Yan sat up quickly, "However, it's already dawn, we have to go, haha......"
In the field, grooming was obviously not as convenient as at home, and it took them some trouble to get it done by a small river.
In the early morning, it seems that men can never catch up with women in grooming, even for a little girl. Meng Yan washed up early and sat by the river in a daze.
"How can I make money?" Meng was confused, "I remember that in the stories I read, almost no one was worried about money, how could I get into this situation...... Where does the money come from? ”
"Robbery? …… No, it's not in line with my principles, and it makes a bad impression on the little girl, and more importantly, I have to follow three absolute rules and not offend the third...... Work? …… Oh my God, did I travel into this world just to work? Not to mention that there are no such conditions, and even if there are no relevant skills, how to settle the little girl at work? On top of that, I'm not that hardworking......"
Meng thought about it, and couldn't think of a solution, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I'm really unlucky, I may be the first one among the thousand-year-old snake demons to have a headache in order to make money, who can be more desperate than me...... Well, by the way, I'm a snake demon ......" an idea gradually took shape in his mind.
Brother, do this...... Is it inappropriate? The girl's face showed disapproval, and she said defiantly, "Xuan'er doesn't approve of this. ”
Meng Yan's voice was full of bitterness: "Dear sister, you have to understand that we have nothing now, and life is really difficult...... You don't want to be forced to sleep in the wild again, do you? ”
The girl's emotional response: "Xuan'er would rather sleep outside than let her brother do it...... Do this kind of thing. ”
Meng counter persuaded: "There is nothing wrong with doing this, even if you don't care about sleeping in the open, but I still need to find a doctor to detoxify you...... Don't stop me, I know you want to say, you'd rather not detoxify, right? Then can you bear to watch your brother spend a lot of mana every day just to feed you with roast chickens? ”
At the thought of Meng Gan's delicious roast chicken, the girl couldn't help but shudder, and finally fell silent.
"Gee, is that enough? I also prepared a lot of rhetoric, but I didn't use it. "Somebody hasn't realized how much magic his roast chicken has.
Soon after, at a nearby market, a sign was erected: "Watch the snake girl perform live, tame the psychic snake." Due to the compulsion of livelihood, I have no choice but to make a living from art, so please support me. "There are baskets under the sign to collect money.
Soon, people in the market gathered curiously.
A mediocre-looking little girl stood in an area, directing a rare red-eyed blue-scaled snake to leap over the raging ring of fire.
"Great!" Seeing the green snake leap lightly over the ring of fire, everyone applauded, and the raindrops of coins fell into the basket in the cheers.
The people of this place are kind-hearted and watch a little girl perform alone, apparently a distressed child in distress, triggering their sympathy. In addition, the performance is really good, and rich people have donated money to help, and even those who have no money are applauding and supporting the girl here.
"Awesome!" The serpent stood majestically on the girl's head, several feet high, and the crowd applauded again, and coins rained down, and if you looked closely, you could see people throwing silver nuggets into the basket.
This snake is naturally the transformation of Meng Anti, and in the face of helplessness, he came up with this method to earn some living expenses. The poor thousand-year-old snake demon was actually forced to become a street performer, and if other monsters saw it, they would definitely feel sad.
Youkai also have self-esteem, and even more important than humans, especially those who have achieved cultivation. Even if someone accidentally sees the original form, they will feel ashamed. Therefore, the monster that can be transformed will basically not easily show its original appearance, and when the monster is subdued, it is generally forced to its original form, precisely because of this reason. As long as the youkai still has a trace of resistance, it will not easily show its original form. But Meng Yan didn't care about this, he was a human being in his previous life, and he had no obstacle to this matter, and even saw that the basket was gradually filling with money, he was proud and self-absorbed.
In another high-altitude performance, Meng Yan stood on top of the girl's head, and when he looked around, he unexpectedly recognized a familiar face.
