Chapter 18: The Old Short Knife (Part II)
"Okay, I don't touch it. "Ling Fox Zhenzhen is a little sorry, his snow-white ears are much better than his own.
She neither closed the door nor urged him out, but sat down on the couch, took a straight knife from under the pillow, and began to wrap a string around the hilt.
Qin Xi rubbed his itchy ears, and couldn't help but ask again, "Where did the knife come from?"
"Bought it yesterday. ”
This great wilderness person is not born in a stone, and ordinary people are injured like her, so they have to recuperate for a long time. She didn't, she still slept late and got up early, touched the time of the daily demon patrol, and walked out every day, and the first thing she did when she got the money was to buy a knife.
He stared at the straight knife for a while, the forging and smelting technology here in the Great Wilderness is very poor, and it is not a good knife at first glance, and most of them will be scrapped after two splits.
Thinking of her appearance of lying in the dungeon of the Ten Thousand Rat Demon Monarch with blurred flesh and blood, he hesitantly reached into his sleeve and took out a short knife more than a foot long: "Use this for the time being, it must be better than you buy it." ”
As soon as the short knife is started, the fox Zhenzhen will know that it is not ordinary, the handle and scabbard are all black jade, and there are several pearls scattered on it, one side is the Xun hexagram pattern, and the other side is the shock hexagram pattern. It can be seen that the owner cherishes this short knife very much, and must wipe and maintain it from time to time, although the handle is half old, the blade is as clear as new, and it is indeed much better than the straight knife.
She subconsciously wanted to pay for it, but somehow, she remembered him and said: If you don't give something, you must give money.
She raised her eyes to look at him, but he only cautiously reminded: "Be careful, you really can't afford this." ”
Ling Fox Zhenzhen pondered for a long time, and handed over the paper bag containing the buns, and the four meat buns inside were still steaming.
A word of thanks won't be said, and if she gives such a simple return gift, she won't really think that giving a few buns will settle the favor, right?
Qin Xi took it with a smile, and still ate it unceremoniously, while raising his eyebrows: "It tastes good, but this is not a return gift, nor is it called settlement." ”
She was probably going to bargain again, and he waited for her to make a move.
"I know. Ling Fox Zhenzhen began to wrap a thin rope around the handle of the short knife, "It's delicious, so I'll give it to you." ”
Qin Xi was silent, and after a long time, he asked, "Is that what you mean?"
There is no thanks, the uncle said, when you go out, thanks and apologies are the most unspeakable, and it is easy to get infected with bad fate, not to say, and it is not clear. Originally, this surnamed Qin was good at calculating bad debts, and if he couldn't figure it out, it would be over.
She was about to speak, when the cold window suddenly darkened, and the sound of countless demon beasts soaring and roaring was like a faint thunder, attacking in bursts.
It's the demon soldier of Changyuan Demon Monarch!
Ling Fox Zhenzhen jumped up, but Qin Xi quickly closed the wooden window, pressed her back to the bed, and made a silent gesture.
He listened carefully, only to feel that the number of demon soldiers this time was extraordinary, did the Changyuan Demon Monarch send out all the demon soldiers?
After a while, I heard a loud sound of "dang" from the zenith, which was the Demon Monarch's edict.
"Changyuan Demon Monarch has an order, from now on, the towns within the boundaries will return to the previous order, and the west, north, and east three main roads will no longer be set up to check the demon soldiers, and the business travelers will come and go on their own, and there is no need to take the pass token. ”
…… What the hell? Why did you suddenly loosen up again?
Soon there was a sound of running in the corridor, and the next moment, Zhou Jing hurriedly appeared at the door, and Ye Xiaowan followed him and said in a loud voice: "Senior Brother Cong Hua, did you hear it?!Does Changyuan Demon Monarch have some tricks?"
He didn't pay attention to her, and only waited for all the demon soldiers like dark clouds to leave before he spoke: "Yuan Xi, what sign do you think this is?"
Ye Xiaowan hurriedly said: "The omen of deception!"
Zhou Jing still ignored her, who wanted Qin Xi to follow his head: "I also think it's cheating." ”
Ye Xiaowan clapped her hands: "Seeing that there is no Senior Brother Conghua, Senior Brother Qin also agrees with me." ”
Zhou Jing always turned a blind eye to her, and she finally felt that something was wrong.
Since coming to Shuiqing Town, first he was busy with Fox Zhenzhen's injury, and then because the demon soldiers patrol every day, everyone is not in the mood to talk, and it is easy to seize the opportunity to say a few words to him at this time, how can he seem to be a different person?
Ye Xiaowan turned her head to stare at him, and when she saw that he even deliberately twisted his head to the side, she suddenly understood, only lowered her head and smiled, and stopped talking.
"Whether it is a fraud or a serious withdrawal of troops, it can only show that there has been a change on the side of Changyuan Demon Monarch. It's better to set off in these two days, if you want to fight or kill, there should always be an end. ”
Xu was concentrating on speaking, the snow-white fox ears on the top of Qin Xi's head shook vigorously, and they shook loudly, because he felt that the fox Zhenzhen was staring at his ears again, he immediately raised his hand to cover it and didn't show her.
It's so stingy, it's not like the one who will give apologies and reduce the debt for life-saving treatment.
Too stingy, she is not stingy, she said that she would lead the way, she has always been dutiful, and only prudently explained: "To go from the wilderness of the south to the wilderness of the west, you can only take the road of Changju Valley, and when you get to the valley, you must not walk blindly." ”
Qin Xi let out an unexpected "oh": "I thought you wanted me to get lost a few more times." ”
After all, if you get lost once, you will offset a life-saving debt, and in the two days since she escaped from the Juntan Palace, she has encountered at least dozens of demon soldiers, and she almost didn't write the word melancholy on her face.
Ling Fox Zhenzhen shook her head while winding the short knife around the thin rope: "The terrain in the valley is very complicated, and it is particularly troublesome to get lost, so you must be obedient when you enter the valley." So can you get lost a few more times before you go to Changju Valley?"
Qin Xi bowed: "Okay, I know." ”
…… What kind of weird dialogue is this?
Zhou Jing was confused when she heard this, and suddenly saw that the short knife in her hand was very familiar, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't this Yuan Xi's short knife?
Although after the success of the spell, the monk does not touch the iron weapon, but this short knife was given by the master after entering the vein, Yuan Xi has always cherished it very much, it is a commonly used old thing, and he actually gave it to her casually?
"Borrowed as a weapon. "Wrap the string, she tied the short knife to her belt," Tangyuan Demon Jun has always had a small belly, maybe he secretly left a few demon soldiers to carry out a sneak attack. I heard that the monks of Middle-earth must not kill demons in the Great Wilderness, don't worry, I have a knife now, and I will deal with it. ”
Zhou Jing was about to scold a few words to sober her up, but she heard Qin Xi say lightly: "No." ”
Ling Fox Zhenzhen looked at him in surprise, what can't you?
"The short knife can borrow you for self-protection, and we will deal with the demon soldiers. ”
In short, in his place, she is no longer a "worry-free wilderness".
Ling Fox Zhenzhen tried to defend herself: "I'm actually quite good. ”
Qin Xi was not moved at all: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't see it." ”
"The demon lord is not good, two or three demon soldiers can still ......"
He finally got impatient: "No, no, if I find out that you are deliberately looking for trouble, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford the life-saving debt of the Western Wilderness all the way." ”
Life-saving debt has always been a dead hole, and a poke is accurate, so that Fox Zhenzhen immediately became quiet, only frowning and deliberately looking at his fox ear, seeing that he raised his hand to cover it again.
