Chapter 57 57
Lu Bao saw clearly that the janitor who had fallen to the ground with an axe in the demonic aura was a fifty or sixty-year-old man with a lush beard and full of energy.
"Don't be loud, I won't hurt anyone!"
Shrouded in demonic energy, the surroundings were pitch black, as a gatekeeper, Lao Suo could not see the surroundings at all, but he also knew what was entering the village, and now calling anyone to come is just to send him to death, and when the demonic energy is withdrawn to speak, he was frightened and whispered: "Monsters, it's useless to eat us mortals, even if you eat the villagers of my Pojiao Village, there will be patrols in two days, the monk knows that there are monsters entering the village to hurt people, and he will follow the soul of the people and chase after him, and he will definitely open your intestines, boil soup and cook meat!"
Coming into contact with human beings in this world for the first time, Lu Bao originally wanted to have a good chat with Lao Suo, but when he heard his words that were not very strong but full of threats, he figured out that for human beings, he was already an out-and-out alien, and the two were separated by thousands of feet of heaven, and it was impossible to have too many intersections, what else could he talk about?
This small human village can only pass by like a dragonfly in its own monster life, and as long as you want to live freely, it is impossible to go deep into human society.
Pressing the bitterness in his heart, Lu Bao was frightened and asked about the purpose of this trip: "Old man, tell me honestly who in the village is literate and I won't hurt people;
The strange reason for the monster to go into the village to find a literate monster, Lao Suo couldn't believe it, but it was pitch black in front of him, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't judge the truth or falsehood, and in the face of the mortal monster, he could only believe it at this moment, and the janitor said with difficulty: "I hope you are trustworthy, the human race is the head of all spirits, and all the people in our village at the foot of the slope can read and write!
Thinking about stabilizing it, Lu Bao asked again: "Which one is the best in learning?"
The gatekeeper only felt strange, and tried to lure the monster to the gatehouse but failed, but he didn't know the monster's nature and didn't dare not answer: "Zhang Shilang is more knowledgeable! The children in the village are all learning words in his house, that is, the tile house facing east, the bamboo fence yard outside, the plum blossom is planted at the door, and the father and daughter live." ”
"You take me!"
"I... I don't have the strength. ”
Lu Bao took back all the demonic energy, and then threatened him: "Don't shout indiscriminately to attract people, otherwise I will eat it!"
It took Lao Su a long time to get up slowly, not daring to look at Lu Bao's appearance, and bowed his head to lead the way.
In such a small village, it only took a few minutes to walk to the door of Zhang Shilang's house, and sure enough, the yard was erected with a two-foot-high fence made of bamboo, and there was a plum tree at the door.
"Go knock on the door, talk to him well, and I'll ask him to learn some words and leave!"
Lu Bao commanded from behind, and the janitor had to pray secretly to go up and knock on the window edge, and shouted in a low voice: "Fourth!
An old man in the house was awakened and asked impatiently, "Who?"
"Fourth, it's me, the sixth king of Chaimen!"
"Wang Daring, what are you doing in the middle of the night? You be quiet, don't make noise to my Aunt Mei!"
"Then you come out and talk!"
Wang Liu didn't explain his intentions, and the old man in the house was a little impatient, and he was afraid that he would continue to shout and wake up his daughter, so he had to put on his clothes, grope to the door of the hall, and pull the latch.
As soon as the front foot stepped out of the threshold, Zhang Shilang took advantage of some moonlight to see the half-human, half-deer tall monster standing behind the gatekeeper Wang Daring, and the back foot stumbled on the threshold, "plopping" and falling to the ground: "Oh, Mom!"
After an exclamation, Zhang Shilang didn't care about the pain in his old knees and waist that he had just fallen, so he hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "The king spares his life!"
The movement outside was a little louder, and Zhang Shilang's daughter also heard it, and asked in the house: "Daddy, is there something wrong with Uncle Wang looking for you?"
Zhang Shilang was in a hurry, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Aunt Mei, don't come out!"
After shouting, he turned around and kowtowed faster: "The king spares his life!
Zhang Shilang's daughter was full of doubts and couldn't rest assured, she didn't listen to her father's words, she fumbled inside and put on her clothes, and also went out to see.
Lu Bao heard the sound of Zhang Shilang's daughter dressing, so he didn't say anything, waiting for her to go out.
This Aunt Zhang Mei is a typical village girl dressed, with short clothes, and her hair tied with a headscarf indiscriminately, but her appearance is delicate and her figure is also very good, when she went out, she saw a hazy half-human, half-deer tall monster, she was so frightened that she was about to scream when she opened her mouth, and Lu Bao hurriedly shrouded the demonic energy.
Seeing his daughter fall to the ground softly, for fear that she would be eaten by monsters or taken away, Zhang Shilang knocked his head faster: "The king spares his life!
Lu Bao opened his mouth to explain: "Zhang Shilang, I heard that you are the most knowledgeable in Pojiao Village, so I will ask you to learn some fonts, so as not to hurt people's lives, if your daughter doesn't scream indiscriminately, I will let her go!"
The monster entered the village to learn words, although Zhang Shilang heard such a ridiculous thing for the first time, but the monster said that he didn't want human life, he was relieved, got up tremblingly, and explained to his daughter first: "Aunt Mei don't call, the king doesn't hurt people, only learn words with me!"
Aunt Zhang Mei was shrouded in demonic energy, her whole body was sore, her mouth was hard to speak, but her ears could still hear, her father repeatedly explained for a while, before she lost her fear, and when she sensed that the demonic energy had decreased and recovered some strength, she replied with difficulty: "Got it, Daddy, I... I don't scream!"
After getting Zhang Meigu's assurance, Lu Bao withdrew his demonic spirit and said, "Let's talk to your house!"
Mr. Zhang Shilang, the professor of Pojiao Village, Wang Liuwang, and Zhang Meigu, who watched the chaimen, all knew that even if they woke up the whole village, the mortals would not be enough to kill this monster, so they listened to the order and had to jump into the house in fright.
The deer demon entered the door last, closed the door, and fastened the latch.
The monster entered the house, the door was closed, and there was no escape, Zhang Shilang could only hope that this little demon would talk and count, and when his mind was settled, he thought that the other party wanted to learn words, and he didn't dare to delay, so he opened his mouth and instructed his daughter: "Aunt Mei, come to the lamp!"
Among the village aunts, Aunt Mei is not timid on weekdays, but tonight in the face of monsters so close, it is really beyond the normal range, the first time in her life, she couldn't stop the fear, trembling all over her body and her brain stiffened, listening to the old father to hold the lamp, it is one of the conversations that she is very accustomed to on weekdays, and reflexively retorted purely without thinking: "Daddy, lamp oil is precious!"
Lu Bao rolled his eyes when he heard this, the palm lamp is only for the three of you, and I just need a little moonlight.
Personally bring the monster to Zhang Shilang's house, don't cause trouble to his family, Wang Liu, who saw the chaimen, was very guilty, he was worthy of the nickname bold, at this time he saw that Aunt Mei was dizzy, and hurriedly shouted: "Aunt Mei will go to the lamp first, I will take firewood to make a fire, so I don't need a lamp!"
As soon as the previous words came out, Aunt Mei knew that she was wrong, so she hurriedly turned around and went to look for the oil lamp and flint at home in the dark, and when she heard Wang Liu's words, she replied: "Uncle Wang Liu, my firewood and grass are all outside the house!"
She meant that the door had been pinned by the youkai, and she didn't know if the youkai would be allowed to go out and fetch firewood.
"You go get firewood, but don't think about running or calling someone!"
After not wanting the monster to give an order, he personally opened the door and let Wang Liu out.
No matter how fast you can run past the monsters, and now running out to call people is just a vain death, and you have to take a few more to get in, Wang Liu can take the responsibility of the village to watch the firewood door, in addition to being bold, there is also a little bit of knowledge, since this monster can cross the firewood wall into the village, there must be something special, before he has no malicious intentions, it is the best choice not to anger the other party, and he obediently hugged the bundle of firewood back.
Aunt Mei panicked so much tonight that she made a few mistakes in her own house, which she was usually familiar with, and her knees hurt when she touched the corner of the bed in the back room, and she couldn't touch the flint everywhere.
Wang Liu moved Chai He into the hall, and the monster closed the door again, she hadn't found the oil lamp yet, and she was flustered, and the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't find it, for fear that the monster would not be able to lose her temper, and tears would come out in a hurry.
Suddenly, something was stuffed into his hand: "You light the fire, I can't!"
Listening to the sound beside him, the monster had already entered the back room at some point, and Aunt Mei tensed up and didn't dare to move, until the other party couldn't wait, and impatiently asked again: "Why don't you start the fire yet?"
Aunt Mei woke up and pinched the things in her hands, isn't it just a flint for fire?
His hands trembled, and he "clicked" several times, and the flint sparks burst out, but he just refused to ignite.
After a while, after a "click", the fire of broad beans was finally lit, and the oil lamp was handed over to the side.
The roe deer order is not a good word, although Lu Bao's deer head is different from the roe deer, there is not much difference between the family and the face.
After the oil lamp was lit, the monster turned around and went back to the hall, Zhang Meigu came back to her senses a little, looked at the two big fat deer buttocks that limped out, and secretly sighed in her heart: "Phew, it turned out to be a deer demon!"
Lu Bao returned to the hall, put the oil lamp on the table, and invited Zhang Shilang to come over, and brought a bucket of water to ask him for words.
Lu Bao, who was illiterate in the quenching method, memorized them by heart, dipped them in water and wrote them one by one on the table, and asked Zhang Shilang to teach him, and mixed a few acquaintances in the middle to prevent the old man from fake.
After getting to know the four or five crosses, Aunt Mei had already helped Wang Liu to ignite the firewood, she felt sorry for the lamp oil, and had the courage to get permission from the monster, so she moved the firewood over and blew out the lamp.
After a while, Lu Bao, who did not know the words on the quenching method, had learned all the words, and the opportunity to learn words was rare, and after making sure that he would not forget it, he asked Zhang Shilang if there were books to learn words at home.
Zhang Shilang is the one who teaches reading in the village, and he has his own collection of books at home, so he listened to the monster's request and asked Aunt Mei to go to his bedroom to find an enlightenment book.
This book is for children's enlightenment, except for the dynasties and characters involved, the content is roughly the same as the thousand-character text on the earth, the text is not difficult, and there are many words on it Lu Bao has already known, and it is easy to learn by comparison.
Enlightenment reading materials are easy to memorize sentence by sentence, if you have a book in hand, even the words you know as a reference, it is not easy to forget every few days.
Monsters touch into the village, just to learn the text, does not involve much esoteric knowledge, although the firewood lighting is fuel-efficient, but the smoke is a lot, provoked Zhang Shilang cough more than once, see the firewood door Wang Liu saw that it is not difficult, come to replace Zhang Shilang, teach the monster to learn words.
It didn't take long for the enlightenment book to finish again, and Lu Baoshang was itching, pressed the enlightenment book under his hand, and opened his mouth to learn more.
