Chapter 12: Encounter with a Bandit
It takes three days to drive from Jiangtang City to Chunyi City, and the road is difficult to walk along the way.
At noon on the second day, Xiaohai parked the carriage by a stream and led the horse to drink.
Twig sat on the rocks by the brook and washed his face, and washed all the rouge and gouache clean, and his face was red from the cold.
wiped off the gorgeous makeup on her face, the girl in front of her had black hair on her shoulders, her eyebrows were like distant daisies, her autumn pupils were cut water, her nose was small and straight, and her lips were as delicate as cherries......
Xiao Hai glanced at Xiao Zhi, then at the stupid young master next to him, coughed and said, "That, I'll go to the mountains to hunt some game, you guys rest first." ”
Lu Qi gave him a look to hurry up.
Xiao Hai rolled very fast, and disappeared into the mountains and forests after a while.
Lu Qi leaned against an old pine tree, biting a dry dog's tail grass, glancing at the twig from time to time, and finally found a topic and asked, "What are the names of your master and that Uncle Bai?"
At the mention of this, Xiaozhi came to her senses, she stood up, shook the water on her hand, wiped it on the red wedding dress, and said: "My master's name is Xia Yunze, and Uncle Bai's name is Bai Tang, he is a wolf demon, have you ever heard of it?"
"Bai Tang, that white-eyed wolf is your uncle?" Lu Qi spit out the dog's tail grass and said in surprise.
As soon as Xiaozhi heard that there was a play, he rushed over and pulled Lu Qi's sleeve, and said excitedly: "Do you know him?"
Lu Qi looked at Xiaozhi's hand pulling his sleeve and said, "Don't you know him, but I haven't heard from him in recent years." ”
"Then do you know where his house is? Which mountain? I heard that he is the Demon King, is it true?"
"It may have been, but the current demon king is not called Bai Tang. ”
"Then do you know where to find him?" Xiaozhi is not too interested in the Demon King or the Demon King, she only cares about whether Uncle Bai comes out or not, he must know where the master is.
Lu Qi thought for a while, looked at Xiao Zhi with an expectant face, and said, "When I settle the matter of Chunyi City, I will take you to the place where he used to live and see if I can find him." ”
Xiaozhi twisted Lu Qi's sleeves excitedly for a while, and sure enough, he found the right person.
It's just that he couldn't get excited for a while, and a loud shout interrupted Xiaozhi's thoughts.
I saw more than a dozen big men walking out from behind the bushes, all holding knives and sticks, with fierce eyes in their eyes, and a few people surrounded Lu Qi and Xiaozhi in an instant, and the remaining few had already gone to the carriage to rummage for their belongings.
One of the mustaches with thief eyebrows and rat eyes stared at Xiaozhi, and smiled at a man with a meaty face next to him: "Big brother, this little lady looks quite peugeot, it's just right to bring it back to be Mrs. Zhai, the bride's wedding dress is ready-made, you can enter the cave room if you grab it back, hehe." ”
There was a lot of laughter.
Someone else shouted, "I see that kid is also good-looking, I can't bear to hurt him." ”
There was another round of laughter.
Lu Qi glanced at these people, lowered his head and asked Xiaozhi, "Do you want to kill or let go?"
Xiaozhi hadn't seen the bandits, and he didn't know what they were talking about, but he knew very well that these were not good people, and he was about to attack himself, so he thought about it and said, "It's not good to kill them, let them go and harm others, or tie them up first." ”
This time, the laughter resounded through the mountains and forests, and the birds flew away, and then it stopped abruptly.
Xiaozhi poked the bandits whose mouths had not had time to close, and the smiles on their faces were fixed, turned their heads and asked, "What did you do to them? Why do you say that if you don't move, you won't move?"
"It's just a fixation technique, wait for Xiaohai to come back, and let him tie it up. ”
Speaking of Xiaohai, Xiaohai came, carried two hares through the pine forest, jumped and ran over, glanced at the group of mountain bandits, and went to the stream to deal with the hares and set firewood to make a fire.
When the hare was roasted on the fire, he reluctantly moved it over and complained, "How good it is to kill it directly, and how troublesome it is to tie it up so much." ”
Xiaozhi saw that there were a lot of mushrooms growing under the nearby trees, and thought that it should be good to eat roast rabbit with mushroom soup, so he lifted his skirt to pick it, and Lu Qi thoughtfully sent a bamboo basket.
By the time the hare was burnt and fragrant, the twigs had also cooked a large pot of fragrant mushroom soup, and the group of mountain bandits had been strung together like grasshoppers, and the immobilization technique had been lifted, but they were all silent, and they didn't dare to let go of a fart.
The three of them had eaten and drunk enough, and rested for a while, and when Xiaozhi saw that there was still a lot of mushroom soup left, he asked the bandit leader, "Do you want to drink some soup, it tastes good." ”
How dare the bandit leader say no, Xiaozhi directly served the pot to them.
"You won't be allowed to hurt people again, you know?"
The bandit nodded.
"Do more good deeds, accumulate virtue and do good, you know?"
The bandit nodded.
"Even if you don't have money to spend and no food to eat, isn't there a lot of game on this mountain, and you see that this mushroom is very delicious. ”
The bandits don't nod anymore, they can't nod anymore.
Xiaozhi waited for a long time, saw that they didn't move again, and asked Lu Qi, "You fixed them again?"
Lu Qi glanced at the bandits, then glanced at Xiao Zhi meaningfully, and said, "No, they are dead." ”
......
Xiaozhi was stunned, she still had a basket of big truths that the master had taught her before, why did they die.
Xiao Hai pointed to the soup pot that was still steaming and said, "It's poisoned." ”
Mushroom poisoning......
Xiaozhi's brain buzzed, and he immediately fell to the ground and cried. She has eaten all kinds of mushrooms in Huilongshan since she was a child, and she never knew that mushrooms would be poisonous.
Xiao Hai saw her crying sadly, and said: "What is there to cry about, these mountain bandits and robbers burn, kill and loot all day long, you can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven." However, I see that you drank three bowls of this mushroom soup, how is it okay?"
Lu Qi was also puzzled in his heart, it is said that this little girl is also a mortal, how can she not invade with a hundred poisons.
Xiaozhi wiped his tears, thinking that he had killed so many people at once, it was really a lot of evil, and he felt remorseful in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Xiao Hai looked left and right around the twig, but he didn't see anything unusual.
At this time, the wind was blowing, and a cloud of white smoke came out of the ground not far away, and two little imps with green faces and fangs came out of the smoke.
"Grandma, how did these souls come out of the deep mountains and old forests?"
"No, there has been a plague in Yangqiao Town recently, and the dead are like falling leaves, and those souls are running around, and they can't finish catching them. Finally, I was sent here again. ”
"I'd like to see who doesn't have a long eye to make a fuss here. ”
"Yo, they were all poisoned. These stupid lacks dare to eat anything. ”
......
The two imps were chatting happily, dragging the spirit of the bandit leader out of his body, locking his hands with a long chain, and dragging the other one.
Xiaozhi was tired of crying, and he couldn't help but raise his head and said timidly: "That, I'm sorry, it's poisonous ...... in the mushroom soup I let them drink."
Imp: "......"
Xiaohai: "......"
Lu Qi helped his forehead.
The little ghost almost jumped to his feet, pointed to the little branch and said, "How can you see us?"
Xiaozhi was a little puzzled and said, "Can't you see it?"
"Who gave you the yin and yang eyes?"
"What are yin and yang eyes?"
......
