Chapter 35: An Unexpected Surprise
At the same time as hearing the movement behind him, a gray figure suddenly jumped out in front of Ye Ling.
"Be careful!"
This figure is actually the little boy!
At this time, he rushed towards Ye Ling, picked up a stone on the platform, and smashed it at Su Mantuo.
"Scared ——!" Su Mantuo was no longer alive at this time, and his mouth made a strange sound, spitting out a fishy and poisonous gas.
Ye Ling hurriedly pulled the little boy away, and at the same time threw the dragon elephant knife, accurately cutting Su Mantuo's neck.
The stone in the little boy's hand was thrown and smashed right on Sumanto's headless body.
This time, this desert snake is completely finished.
"It's so dangerous, it's dangerous, whoever eats the black pill will become the living dead. The little boy said, touching the beads of sweat on his forehead.
His mood was much more normal, and he was no longer as crazy as he had been.
Ye Ling secretly wondered, the finger of that acupoint just now was enough to make ordinary people unconscious for several hours, and now this kid looks energetic, I really don't know how he did it.
Of course, now is not the time to think about it.
Ye Ling replied as he said to Zhaocai: "Look at what Su Mantuo has on his body." ”
With that, Ye Ling also squatted down to check the bodies of the men.
The boy lowered his head, eased his emotions slightly, and said to Ye Ling: "It's a pity that there are still many people who are imprisoned by this group of wicked people, and they should be interrogated before killing them." ”
From the boy's words, it could be seen that he had regarded Ye Ling as an ally.
Ye Ling stopped his movements, walked up to the boy, held his shoulders with both hands, and said to him:
"I pressed her twice when you were unconscious, but she would rather die. ”
"Well, though, now I know where this group of people is, and if it's not their home base, it's at least a stronghold for them. ”
The boy finally smiled, and asked Ye Ling with some excitement: "Really? That's great, I just saw your ability, I believe you are not bluffing me." ”
Ye Ling smiled happily, "Of course, wait here for a while, after I and that fat mouse have searched the body, we will go back to Cangyun City." ”
The boy pointed in the direction of Su Mantuo's corpse and said to Ye Ling: "It's not a fat mouse, it has its own name, it's called Zhaocai." ”
This sentence stunned Ye Ling, and only after a while did he frown and ask, "How do you know?"
"Isn't it okay to speak? I told it myself. ”
Ye Ling looked back at Zhaocai.
Zhaocai nodded at him.
"Can you hear it?"
Ye Ling realized that this boy was not very simple, but he was a Yaoshan spirit beast, and he was mortal in the flesh, so it was impossible to communicate with him.
At least according to Ye Jiancheng's message, if you are not a rich and noble, you will not be able to contact Zhaocai, and you will even invite disasters.
The boy squatted down, helped Ye Ling search for the corpse together, and said lightly: "Of course, not only can I hear Zhaocai talking, I can talk to all the animals in this world, they are all I am a crazy child, do you believe me?"
Ye Ling nodded vigorously, "Of course I believe that this world is animist." ”
In a simple sentence, the boy seemed to have received great affirmation and praise, and a smile bloomed on his face.
Ye Ling seized this opportunity and hurriedly asked, "My name is Ye Ling, and its name is Zhaocai, so what is your name?"
The boy frowned when he heard this, knocked his head, and said, "It's not that I'm going to lie to you, but I really don't remember who I am, and I can't remember everything before." ”
Ye Ling waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's okay, you have walked in the ghost gate for a while, your spirit has been stimulated, and it is normal to have some amnesia, your brother Ye knows a little about medical skills, and when you go back, I will slowly recuperate for you." ”
After the three of them got acquainted with each other, they moved a lot faster.
The five subordinates of the Heart Erosion Hall had their pockets cleaner than their faces, and they didn't even have a copper plate, only a small medicine stove pinned to their waists.
On Su Mantuo's body, two jet-black pills, a bag of dozens of gold pills, and the copper bell she had just used were found.
Ye Ling opened the medicine furnace and checked the burning medicine residue inside.
"Sea Jiao pith and golden silk leaves are all excellent medicinal materials for insect repellent. Ye Ling muttered to himself, "No wonder they can come and go in and out of the giant scorpion's gathering place at will. ”
The boy pointed to the two jet-black pills in horror, saying that this was what these people forced him to eat.
"With these gains, it is not in vain that this laborious struggle is in vain. Ye Ling said, "Let's leave." ”
Out of the factory, at this time, the giant scorpions had returned here, caught the bloody breath on several people, and couldn't help but sneak in on their own initiative......
Ye Ling was not panicked, lit the medicine stove, and gently shook the copper bell in his wrist.
In a short time, the giant scorpions were far away.
One thing descends one thing, this sea pith is usually used as a perfume for the human race, and is sought after and loved by almost all women.
But for insects, the smell is as pungent as chili peppers, and if you smell too much, you will even burst into flames and die.
The road ahead was unimpeded, and when the three of them returned to Longmen Town, it was probably just past midnight.
Because when he left the vicinity of the grinding mill, Ye Ling rode his own camel, and the boy also traveled with him.
Halfway through, the child fell asleep because of his nervous tension and fatigue.
All the way back to the inn, Ye Lingheng was just about to go upstairs with the child in his arms, but Xiao Er, who was on night duty behind him, stopped him at this time.
"This guest officer, this guest officer ......" Xiao Er smirked.
The boy was sleeping deeply, and Ye Ling didn't want Xiao Er to disturb him, so he said coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Guest officer, you don't know, our boss has a rule, no beggars and homeless people are allowed to enter the store, the guest officer looks rich and noble, why let this little beggar be your fortune...... Right?"
When Ye Ling heard this, he didn't say anything, hooked his left wrist and took out a bag of gold coins in his sleeve.
"Just let him stay here for one night, and this bag of gold coins will be yours, okay?"
Xiao Er's legs trembled, he hugged the gold with both hands, knocked his front teeth a few times, and his movements looked like beckoning wealth, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, uncle, you feel sorry for people, you will definitely make a fortune!"
Ye Ling sighed lightly, and while going upstairs, he said, "Is there still hot water in the bathhouse?"
At this time, it was late at night, Cangyun City was located in the desert, and the water source was scarce, so there would be no hot water for guests at night.
But at this time, Ye Ling was really closer to Xiao Er than his grandfather, and when he heard Ye Ling's question, he put the towel on his shoulder: "Yes, yes, you go back to the house first, and the hot food will be prepared for you in a while!"
Back in the house, it was only two cups of tea, and Xiao Er gently knocked on Ye Ling's door.
Hot water is available downstairs.
Ye Ling slapped the boy's cheek and told him to wake up for a while, take a shower, change his clothes and go to sleep again.
But this kid is really tired, no matter how he screams, he snores.
As a last resort, Ye Ling could only let him fall asleep and personally help him clean it.
Put the boy in the bathroom, and Ye Ling bathed him in a wide robe according to the craftsmanship of the emperor when he came.
Just as Ye Ling was about to unbutton the button on his chest, it seemed that the boy was smoked because of the steam.
"Ah——! rascal!"
I heard an exclamation in the bathroom, followed by a loud slap.
Ye Ling really didn't expect that this tiger-headed child was actually a girl!
Fortunately, the inn was deserted today, and no one came down to see the excitement.
Xiao Er must have heard something more or less, so that when Ye Ling covered half of his face and walked out of the bathroom, his eyes were a little strange.
This is really an "unexpected surprise", Ye Ling never wants to come again in his life.
