Chapter 267: A Little Red Koi
Lan Nuanyu happily replied, she didn't sleep well yesterday, and it was naturally good to be able to make up for a drowsiness.
She looked around, this place was close to the river, and there was wet dew everywhere, especially now that the sun had not even come out, and there was a lot of rain and dew on the flowers and trees, she resolutely climbed a tree, found a trunk that was quite sheltered from the wind, and put a small thin ball of grass on it.
Twilight walked over and asked, "Where's the koi?" I'm the Demon King, and it's easy to find her, but I think it's better for you to find her." We should talk about things, and we will save people when we should save them. ”
"Are you the Demon King?" the old carpenter looked up, and finally looked at the twilight scars.
"Yes, I can save people, and I can save demons. If you have made mistakes, I can help you win a chance to mend your ways. Twilight asked, "Think about it?"
The old carpenter hesitated, as if considering the authenticity of Nightmark's words.
The scars of the night were no longer hidden, and he rolled up his sleeves and leaked out of his arm, and black scales appeared on his arm.
"I am a black dragon, and if you believe in me, I will save them. Twilight said.
The old carpenter said: "I can't find her, she is a demon, and I am just a mortal." ”
"You can tell me about Fengqing Village first, so that I can know the ins and outs of the matter. Night Twilight glanced at the tree where Lan Nuanyu was sitting from time to time, and smiled inadvertently when she saw her hanging feet.
The old carpenter said, "Let's talk about it when I go back, I can still save the fish." ”
"Save the fish? Twilight said, "I'll help you." ”
He cast a spell, and a fishing net appeared in his hand, and said, "Wouldn't it be faster to use this?"
"This can't be done. The old carpenter shook his head helplessly and said, "This water is so strange that no matter what spells and magic weapons are used, there is no way to use them in the water." If she could, how could Xiao Rou let her companion suffer in the water. ”
"You're talking about Xiaorou, right? She's actually very nice to you, and she doesn't want you to die. ”
The old carpenter's line shook a few times, and he slowly lifted the rod, and sure enough, the fish had fled.
The hook was empty, and the old carpenter was disappointed to tie up the small half of the earthworm and throw the bait into the water again. He said: "I saved her life, and it was I who saved her that she escaped, otherwise she would be like these fish in the water." ”
Night Twilight said: "You tell me one by one, so that I can think of ideas." ”
"At the beginning, Fengqing Village was a rich and small village, and this river had everything. Although Fengdu, which is five miles away, is the territory of the Tuzhou Kingdom, there are many people doing business here. Most of the people in our village depend on the water of this river, and their lives are not bad. ”
"I am the child of the head of Fengqing Village, fourteen this year. My father is a carpenter, and when you go to my house, you will notice that those stools and machines are all made by my father. ”
Night Twilight looked at the person in front of him and said in disbelief, "How old did you say you were?"
"XIV. ”
Where is the person in front of him is fourteen, yesterday it looked like eighty or ninety, and today it looks like at least sixty or seventy.
"Childe is not strange. The old man said: "One day my father took me to help Uncle Wu in the village to fish, that day from morning to night, empty-handed, when I was tidying up the fishing nets, I saw a little koi, that little fish is Xiao Rou.
I saw that the fish was red and very beautiful, so I asked Daddy to ask Uncle Wu for it. ”
Night Twilight looked at the river, and to be honest, the water was so smelly, he sealed his nose and asked, "So that's what you said about saving your life?
"No, it's only half a strip. The old man said, "But this is also the beginning." After I brought Xiaorou back, the village ......"
The old man's hand holding the rod was shaking, and he rubbed the rod repeatedly, as if considering whether to say or not.
"You have to tell me the whole thing, or I won't be able to help you." ”
The old man's heart was crossed, he looked at the night twilight and said, "Later, my father and the people in the village brought back a large bag of things one day. ”
"What is it?" asked Twilight.
The old man shook his head to show that he didn't know, and he said, "A big bag of white powder, as for what kind of powder, I don't know. ”
The powder must have been poured into the river.
Twilight said, "You go on. ”
"There are a lot of fish in this river in our village, which are very popular with the people of Phantom Wu Country, so merchants will come to our village to buy fish. This fish is called red tail, but it is not available all year round, and this fish is very smart, and it will not be hooked if it is not fished in the right way, and if you use a fishing net, you can escape from the net. So the villagers in our village went to buy the powder and talked to my father about it. My father only thought that if he sold more fish, the life of the villagers would be better, so he followed the villagers and threw three bags of medicinal powder into the river. ”
"And after that?"
"A few days later, the powder worked. The red tail became very flustered, as if there were fairies under the water, and they floated to the surface, and the villagers sat in the boat and netted them. The villagers have made a lot of money, including my family. My house was built at that time. ”
Night Twilight said, "Listening to you say that, it seems that the matter is with those medicinal powders?"
"Out of the hearts of men, if it weren't for their greed for money, why not be afraid of it? ”
The fishing rod in the old man's hand moved a few times, and he calmly lifted the fishing rod this time, thinking that it was the result of the bait being eaten and the fish escaped, but he knew that this time the fish on the hook bit the hook and did not let go.
"This river water is also like this because of those bags of medicinal powder, right?" asked Twilight Scar, "Listen to you, if this river water is like this all the time, I'm afraid there won't be anything." ”
"Yes. The old man nodded and said, "On the fifth day when they put in the medicinal powder, the flowers and plants in the river suddenly died, and the small fish and shrimp floated in a whole river. I persuaded my father, but I said it wouldn't work like this. We villagers in Fengqing Village have relied on this river for generations, but I am only a 14-year-old child, so how can they listen to me?"
"They still went down to the river to wash the dead fish and shrimp and sell them. After that, the river became muddy and muddy, and finally it became what it is now. Later, Xiaorou's injuries healed, and she ran out of the water tank, saving some of her companions. The demons in the river began to take revenge on the people of the village, and the people of the village would be in their teens and twenties in a day, and they took the villagers away. I let it go, and they said that as long as I could save the remaining creatures in the river, they would consider forgiving the people in the village, and at least sparing their lives. ”
Night Twilight looked at the river and said, "I see. When the stranger came in, why did he say that there was no one in your village?"
"It's the fat man of the Li family who often sends letters to the village, this person often comes to deliver letters, and everyone in our village is familiar with it. If he sees that the people in our village are getting older and more than ten years old, won't he think of us as monsters?" said the old man, "So the people in the village went into hiding, and then they were captured by Xiaorou's people, and I don't know where they were, or whether they were dead or alive." ”
"Since you are the demon king, you will definitely be able to help me come up with ideas, how can I remedy it? If there is a way, I will not be very grateful, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse. But what I know is that this matter is the fault of the villagers of our Fengqing Village in the first place, and if there is really no way, I will also thank the demon king for his kindness. ”
The old man said so, but the night twilight clearly saw the hope in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best. Twilight asked, "You say that the villagers of your village will be more than ten years old in one day?"
"Yes, Xiaorou's people did it, in fact, I don't blame them, on the contrary, I think it would be good if it could compensate for the mistakes we put down. ”
Night Twilight knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, it seemed that Xiao Rou had sucked the essence of people, but what they didn't know was that the essence of people could be helpful for cultivation, but for demons with a higher demon level, for ordinary goblins, especially the kind of demons that have just been able to transform into shapes, or the kind of demons that have to look at their luck, it is not appropriate to suck the essence element, and the next step is to be doomed.
The old man was not a goblin, he didn't know any of this, but no matter what, finding Xiao Rou and those living people was the first thing to do now.
"After you slept yesterday, Xiaorou came back again. Twilight said, "She sucked your essence, but spit it out for you, otherwise you won't survive yesterday." ”
"Xiaorou, she is a good girl, I saved her life, but I just looked at her good-looking. ”
"You're just a child, and you saved her by accident. "Let me think about it, this whole thing appears on those medicinal powders, we must first know what kind of medicinal powders, if we can restore the river water to its original state, things will be much easier." It's true that Xiao Rou is a demon, but I can bring her back to the demon world at most. ”
The old man couldn't stop expressing his gratitude, he stood up and bent down and said, "Thank you Demon King, I am grateful for my great kindness." No matter what happens, I must be grateful to the two of you, because this incident in Fengqing Village is self-inflicted. ”
"Don't say that, the existence of demons in the human world is not allowed. The twilight scars flew out of the snow moon and picked up a few water droplets in the river water, got ready, and fanned the water droplets with his hand and sniffed them.
He frowned: he knew he didn't smell it, and if he smelled it, it was in vain, and the smell of the water was a little more stinky than that of a rotting corpse, and he almost vomited it when he smelled it.
"Demon King, are you okay?" the old man could see that the twilight mark didn't seem to be good.
Can it be good?
Half of the night twilight marks are cat demons, and their sense of smell is thousands of times better than that of ordinary people, and this smell almost makes him leave this beautiful world.
