Chapter Forty-Eight: Stealing and Eating Thieves
The fire burned the sky red.
The full moon was bright, and it sprinkled cold light.
The dark night was clear, but now it was full of dust, and the entire Burning Horse Thief Cottage was burned.
After a night of fighting, danger abounded, and everyone was tired, but they did not dare to stay long.
The mysterious white-haired storyteller is gone, and if he returns without a face, everyone will not be able to stop him at all.
Along the way, Ye Qingfeng has been reminiscing about the thrilling night of this night, thinking that Morinda and Cangming have been waiting for the rabbit there for a long time, and the mysterious faceless is also secretly watching, and he can't help but feel afraid in his heart.
This battle seems to have happened to everyone, and finally got revenge, but it was pure luck. Without the appearance of the storyteller, without the "seventy-two changes" technique twice in a row, the result is really unimaginable.
Ye Qingfeng sighed heavily, and there was a lot of self-blame in his heart, his personal hatred should not be borne by the whole team.
He closed his eyes, and the moonlight shone on him, surprisingly cold.
Ling Shuangyue and the others glanced at each other, but they shook their heads and smiled, and did not speak.
Arriving at the border city, the sky was already slightly bright, Ye Qingfeng returned to the room, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Father and mother, I have finally avenged your revenge, and then Qingfeng will focus on the demon changes in the world. ”
"Leaving Chang'an this time, on the one hand, as a disciple of Tiance Mansion, I have due responsibility to the world, and on the other hand, I am avenging your two elders. ”
"Now that the great revenge has been avenged, I feel uneasy, I owe a lot to the Stone and the Frost Moon, and I want to help them continue to walk. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Qingfeng saw the Star Soul Sword placed at the head of the bed, and at this moment, there were no blood stains on it.
His gaze changed, he gently picked up the sword, and murmured: "I have always wanted to be a hero like your father, so I have practiced martial arts, and after this night, I realized that there is no difference between guarding the villagers of Qinghe Town and guarding the stability of the world." ”
"The world is uneven, and Qinghe Town cannot be stable, my vision should be farther and my vision should be wider. ”
He whispered the words in his heart, which had been hidden in his heart for many years, and he had not found the answer.
After experiencing this night of blood and fire, he realized that there is no difference between being a hero and being a disciple of Tiance Mansion, both are a kind of protection.
The way of chivalry is to guard.
Ye Qingfeng's eyes exuded a faint golden glow, and his body also began to overflow with golden glow, one law through ten thousand laws, after figuring out this thing, his whole person became relaxed, as if he had let go of the shackles of many years.
Mana flows through the meridians, unimpeded, washing every inch of the body.
He entered an inexplicable ethereal state and slowly closed his eyes.
When everyone was tired and resting, no one noticed that in Ye Qingfeng's room, the golden mangs kept flickering, flickering and dimming, and finally disappeared.
And no one noticed that in the corner of the room, the blood light in the eyes of the Death Knight who was standing quietly was faint, and the black qi on his body lingered, as if he had entered a new stage of meditation.
It was past noon, and everyone walked out of the room one after another, and their mental state had returned to their peak.
Ye Qingfeng hugged his fists at everyone one by one, expressing his apologies and gratitude for last night's incident, his attitude was very serious, but everyone didn't care.
Xue Qianxun smiled and asked Ye Qingfeng to be on a front with her in the future and deal with Lao Bai together. Lao Bai asked Ye Qingfeng to drink more with him in the future, don't always spoil the fun, and if there are similar things, you must pull him, and you can't enjoy it alone.
Ling Shuangyue didn't say much, just smiled lightly and said, "The matter is over, congratulations to Senior Brother Ye for taking revenge, let's think about more happy things in the future." ”
Everyone looked at Mu Shishi, thinking that he was going to say something, and then... Sure enough, he spoke: "Hungry, go to eat." ”
Ye Qingfeng understood that this was not Mu Shishi shaking his face, but that he was indeed not good at words and did not like to be polite.
Except for some necessary words, Mu Zibai rarely chatted with everyone about such non-nutritious topics.
It's just that Ye Qingfeng and the others didn't eat after all......
Looking at the mess and empty plates in the house, Bai Wuwu was stunned and said, "You haven't even seen it clearly?"
The four guards stood in a row, their faces still pale, and shook their heads at the same time.
"That thing was fast, like a white light, and it knocked the four of us unconscious, and when we woke up, this was it. ”
"It should be a monster, the border city is so tightly guarded, there are even monsters that can break in. ”
Listening to the guard's words, Xue Qianxun couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "What the hell is going on, how can there be a monster who runs into the city to grab food, instead of eating people, but eats these grains?"
Ling Shuangyue walked around the room and said softly: "I can't feel the demonic aura here, but there is a faint mana fluctuation, which shows that this demonic aura is restrained and powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”
Everyone was talking, and there was a commotion outside the yamen, and when they went out, they saw that all the people had run over, and their expressions were extremely frightened.
After careful questioning, I learned that every family had made trouble with monsters, and the situation was the same, and the food at home was eaten by monsters.
"The steamed buns in the morning are full of six, and our family of three only ate two, and now they are all gone. ”
"My family's steamed buns are gone, and some of the remaining unwrapped stuffing has also been eaten. ”
"How can this be true, where did the evil demon come from, he specializes in stealing cooked food!"
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, their faces turned red with anger, and they roared loudly outside the yamen.
Ye Qingfeng was also very puzzled, what kind of monster is this, breaking into the city without killing or hurting people, just stealing cooked food. And it seems that he has a great appetite, and he eats dozens of cooked foods in one meal, such as steamed buns, steamed buns, wowotou, and flatbread, as long as they are cooked, they are all eaten.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, we will find this demon as soon as possible and kill it, please don't travel alone during this time, it will be safer to get together. ”
During the chaos of the world, the official was not easy to be, and Lord Assassin Shi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he had been calming the people's hearts.
"Lord Thorn Shi, there are a lot of mice in the north of the city, all of them have changed, all of them are bigger than cats, go and see them." ”
"Hundreds of them are gathered together, and we don't dare to get close. ”
As the governor of a state, Lord Thorn Shi was also quite helpless, so he could only set his eyes on Ye Qingfeng.
Ye Qingfeng said: "Let's take a look and see if these demon rats are the culprits who steal food." ”
The group ran towards the north of the city at great speed, and sure enough, they found hundreds of demon rats gathered together in an alley, but it was strange, these demon rats were all paralyzed on the ground and shivering, their eyes were white, and they looked frightened.
Bai Wuwu said in surprise: "Strange, why is this happening?"
Mu Zibai looked at it for a while before he said slowly: "It's not them who steal the food, these demon rats don't have the ability to stun the four guards...... It seems that there is another demon who not only stole the food, but also made them like this, and that is the culprit. ”
"But why did it do that, what did it do with these rats?"
Speaking of this, Xue Qianhiro's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say: "It can't be a robbery, right? These demon rats must usually steal food, and the culprit is afraid that they will rob it of its food, so he got them all out." ”
Ling Shuangyue's face was also a little strange, and she always felt that this kind of thing was too ridiculous: "This... Can you infer that? I always felt that something was wrong, how could there be such a person who likes to eat so much... Youkai?"
"I also think it's a little weird, how this monster looks like a child. ”
Ye Qingfeng thought for a while, and then said: "No matter how much, look for it, and if you find it, you will naturally know what the situation is." ”
Bai Wuwu said: "Since it likes to eat so much, it is good to bring it out directly, and the whole table of dishes is made a little fragrant, I don't believe that it is not tempted." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Xue Qianxun hurriedly echoed, and said excitedly: "I'm also very curious about what this thing is, it's so greedy, it will definitely come out." ”
Soon several large tables were put together on the street, and there was food on them, all freshly made hot food, and the fragrance was overflowing, wafting all over the long street.
Ye Qingfeng and the others dispersed the people, and then they each set up an ambush in a corner in one direction, quietly waiting for the arrival of their prey.
There was a scream in the sky, flocks of birds flew by, and dark clouds came out of nowhere, obscuring the sun.
A strong wind blew on the ground, smoke and dust rose from the long street, and a cloud of white light finally appeared.
It was a fluffy ball, but it was unimaginably fast, and it rolled down the street like a wheel, and then flew up again, stretched out in the air, and landed firmly on the table.
And then... Binge eating.
"It's... Is this a sheep?"
Xue Qianhiro was stunned, only to see that the sheep stood upright like a human, and the two front hooves picked up a big steamed bun at random and sent it to the mouth, one bite at a time, only a few dozen breaths, and the food on the table was less than a small half.
This little lamb is extremely fat, with snow-white thick curly hair on its body, not big, but with a large belly, its whole body is fleshy, and it is still shaking when it moves.
The big mouth chews non-stop, and the short tail keeps sweeping the buttocks, and while eating, he guards the surroundings.
"What a thief, see that this girl doesn't teach you a lesson. ”
When the little fat sheep ate most of the food on the table, Xue Qianxun reacted, screamed, and ran over with a whip.
At the same time, Ye Qingfeng and others also rushed up from several other directions.
The little lamb's body suddenly trembled with fright, and he glanced at the rest of the food on the table, he was really a little reluctant, and his two front hooves picked up a basket of buns, and ran away.
Maybe it had eaten too much, and its whole belly slowed down, and its head turned off and it ran straight into an alley.
"Haha, little lamb, your white grandfather is here, where are you going!"
Bai Wuwu laughed wildly, jumped out suddenly, and grabbed the lamb with his big hand.
And the next moment, he screamed, and his body flew upside down, slammed into a stone wall, and fell.
The lamb walked upright, holding the bun while running and eating, for fear of wasting it, the two short legs rowed, and finally disappeared.
