Chapter 16: Parting and Meeting

Soda said lamentingly, "I'll run away, and when I'm healed, I can escape." Why did the seniors seek their own death?"

Duo'er said: "You have a relic in your body, I'm afraid that you won't be able to use the escape technique in the future." ”

"Why?"

"The relics are spiritual beads outside the five elements, and they belong to humans and animals. Now that the Earth Spirit Bead in your body has been devoured by the relics, the previous escape technique will naturally not be able to be used. ”

"I have an Earth Spirit Bead in my body?"

"There are spirit beads in the demon's body. ”

"You say I'm a demon, but I don't have a tail on my ass? I heard that demons have tails?"

"The spirit bead in your body should be obtained by killing demons. ”

"I remembered that when Old Man Yun was a guest at my house, he gave me a big pearl. Soda asked rhetorically: "There are a lot of demons in this world, right?"

"You are stupid, there are not many goblins, if there were everywhere, then the evil goblins would have eaten people up long ago. ”

"I heard Madame say that you have a disease that can only be cured by relics, and this is the poison you are talking about?"

"Hu Meiniang is lying to you, or you will give her a map. This poison in me was harmed. ”

When the two escaped from the tomb, it was the dead of night, and the evening breeze swept across the wasteland, and the wind blew people's hearts. Outside the knife mound, someone was robbed of his body by a ghoul, leaving only a head. There are people who have been killed by poisonous insects with weapons. For relics, enter the danger situation, and die for a lifetime.

In the tomb, there was also an injured human-headed crane that rushed out of the waterhole, flapping its wings and flying out of the cave in embarrassment. There was a little light of the moon above the cave, and that was the only hope for the evil to escape.

In the moonlight, the survivors were the first to leak a happy smile. That face is innocent. He only survived temporarily. Because there are not many people who can survive and get out of the knife mound, all of them are nine dead and one injured. If the injured don't die, they will also be hit by Gu.

There was only one Blue Moon sister left among the Seven Weaver Girls, and she had been guarding outside for a long time, and when she saw that Miss Duo'er was safe, she said happily, "Miss Duo'er, you have finally come out." ”

"What about the other sisters?"

They escorted the relics back to the side door first. ”

"The relics must be distinguished clearly from the fake, if it is a glass Gu, it will not be necessary. Duo'er said anxiously, and she immediately said to Sister Lanyue: "Sister, you quickly go back to the side door and tell Madame." ”

Lan Yue asked, "What about you, Miss?"

Miss Doll took Soda's hand and said, "I'm going to a place with him." ”

Everyone is stupid sometimes, and soda is stupid too. He asked Doer, "Where are we going?"

Duo'er said, "It's so late, let's find a place to stay for the night." ”

Soda then said, "Go to my house." ”

Do'er said, "Your house is nearby?"

Soda said, "You have been to my house, and you have forgotten." ”

Doll said, "Then go to your house and have a look." ”

Soda said, "There's something nice in my house. Did you forget?"

Doll stopped talking. After walking for a short time, I arrived at the Shih Tzu sauce butcher shop. Soda only remembered a headache at this time, how to explain it when Duo'er saw Hao Meili. Luckily, he had told Doll about it before, but Soda still didn't know how to introduce the two to each other.

Soda walked to the door and stopped, hesitating to tell Doer.

Duo'er said, "When you get home, why don't you go in?"

Soda spoke faster: "Duo'er, I asked the matchmaker to marry a wife before, I told you about this, she lives here now, but I didn't enter the cave room with her." You're my first woman, I swear, I only love you. ”

Duo'er heard it clearly, and the door opened at this time. It was Hao Meili who opened the door, and two children ran out from behind the door, Hao Meili saw Soda and said, "You're back." Then she pointed to the soda and said to the two children: "Dabao, Xiaobao, quick, call Daddy." ”

The older kid ran over and hugged Soda's thigh and said, "Daddy." ”

The younger children also shouted, "Daddy." ”

Soda was a little embarrassed: "Who are these two kids?"

Hao Meili said, "Our son." I boiled hot water for you. The meal is still hot in the pot. Hao Meili naturally saw Duo'er: "I fried a few vegetarian dishes, this girl came in and ate together." ”

Duo'er is not a vegetarian, she has an extra knife in her hand, and the dark green knife exudes a murderous aura on Soda's neck: "You lied to me, I hate you." From now on, I will cut you off. ”

The blade crushed Soda's skin, and Soda's blood flowed onto the blade, Hao Meili was frightened: "Girl, don't." Duo'er glanced at Hao Meili, and the blade was engraved on the malachite in front of Soda's neck, leaving a few words. Then he put away the knife and turned to leave. Soda watched Doer disappear into the night, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul.

Hao Meili stopped talking, but stood quietly with Soda outside the door for a long time, from late at night until dawn.

Soda said to her more than once, "You go and rest, you don't have to accompany me." ”

Hao Meili just didn't speak, and after putting the children to sleep, she kept standing outside the door with Soda.

It was Hao Meili who started talking first: "The two children were just adopted by me the day before yesterday, and these two children were left at the door of the house without a father or mother, I wanted to blame the pitiful, so I stayed." Seeing that Soda didn't respond, Hao Meili continued: "You like that girl, but then why do you want Grandma Wang to be a matchmaker?"

Soda said, "You don't know, I learned the art of earth escape, and one day I went into the toilet of the widow's house, and I was drenched in a commotion, and I had to die to force me to marry her." I said that I was about to get married, so I asked Mrs. Wang to be the matchmaker. But just two days before you passed the door, Duo'er came and said that she wanted to catch a demon, but she was injured. I had to send her to Yungu for treatment, and after that, I went through a lot of twists and turns. Just two days ago, I was seriously injured and my life was in danger. She was trapped in the grave to save me, and she was poisoned. There is only one way to cure this poison, and that is if something happens between a man and a woman, pass it on to me. I'm going to die, and I'm going to save her life. It's worth it. Soda saw Hao's beautiful expression with a hint of suspicion. He also explained: "After I had a husband and wife affair with her. Just as I was about to burn myself, a senior in the rivers and lakes saved my life. And so we escaped from the tomb together. ”

Hao Meili interrupted Soda's words: "Xianggong is injured and hasn't slept all night, go upstairs and rest." ”

Soda wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, he had to say lightly: "You can also go and take a rest." ”

"Senior Shen has woken up, I'll go get him some food. ”

"Fatty, Xiao Qi, what about Qu Jin?"

"The fat man and the little seventh girl haven't come back since you left. Qu Jin said that he was back in Cannes. ”

Shen Yide had already walked to the door, he didn't seem to know about last night's incident, or maybe he deliberately pretended not to know, he said to Soda: "I'm healed, I have to go." ”

Soda hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

Shen Yide said: "I have news of the River Styx and Tuya. ”

"What?" Soda said in surprise, "Senior brother, I'll go with you." ”

"This?" Shen Yide looked at Hao Meili, a little embarrassed.

Hao Meili knew that she couldn't keep the soda, so she just said to him gently: "Go and come back quickly, I will wait for you at home with the children." ”

Soda nodded, not knowing whether it was guilt or a heart, and went in a hurry with Shen Yide.

It all started in the dungeon of the side door.

Under the cliff of the side door, in the dungeon, there was a man, his hands and feet were chained, but his fingers were still nimble. He stretched out his hand, broke the long nail of his ring finger, the nail flicked into the keyhole on his wrist, there was a soft click, the shackles of his left hand were opened, the corners of his mouth smiled, it was difficult to hide his excitement, his remaining nine fingers did not have long nails, he was locked up for more than ten years, he practiced this stunt hard, used his long nails to save himself, and finally a nail freed his left hand.

At this time, the person who delivered the meal came. The person who delivered the meal was originally a young talent, it should be said that everyone had a youth, but the fate of their aging was different, he became blind when he was twenty-three years old, so he got this job of delivering food, only delivering one meal a day, and he could earn five taels of silver a month, and he relied on the money earned by delivering meals to support the family.

The blind man fumbled for the key and opened a small iron door, which could not accommodate anyone standing, but only a hole, which looked like a funnel. The blind man knocked the floor with a bamboo pole and then a bowl of gruel fell down.

The man raised his head and opened his mouth, and a bowl of gruel trickled down his head and into his mouth. Next, the blind man will send him two scoops of water.

The man looked up and said, "It's another bowl of porridge." ”

The blind man bowed his head and said, "When my sons and daughters see that I am old, they want me to go home and take care of my old age." Baturu, we will say goodbye forever. ”

The man asked, "Blind man, do you have any news about the two children?"

The blind man replied, "The last time you asked me to inquire about those two separated children, I have already inquired, they are both alive, and they are quite famous in the rivers and lakes. One is called the green ghost Tuya, and the other is called the water ghost Styx, both of whom are proud disciples of Yun Yulong. Later, he bowed under the door of Liu Yidao. ”

The man said gratefully: "Thank you, blind man, back then, you blamed me for blinding your eyes." ”

The blind man said, "You have blinded me, and I used to hate you." But I don't hate you now, although I am blind, I have been able to withdraw from the rivers and lakes. Now he has both children and daughters, and although he is poor, his family is happy. It's also thanks to you. ”

The man said, "Go away, don't come again, I'll spare your life." ”

The blind man said no more, and he was gone, and when he had gone a short distance, he heard a loud noise. The man actually used the kung fu of the Vajra palm to break through the stone wall. Escaped.

The blind man quickened his pace, and he still had to live.

The man was talking, he no longer paid attention to the old blind man, and after just a few leaps, he disappeared without a trace.

It took seven days for the blind man to report the news of Baturu's escape to the owner's wife. When Baturu met the drunkard and soda, it was already the seventh day since he escaped from the dungeon.

It was a good day to get out and the sun was not dry, the breeze was blowing, and Soda stopped the carriage and saw a man in tattered clothes lying on the ground.

Soda picks people up and puts them in the wagon. said to Shen Yide: "Senior brother drunkard, don't drink, take a look, there is someone here." ”

Shen Yide said: "If you have a yellow face and thin muscles, you must be hungry and faint, just give him some wine and eat some meat." ”

This man was so hungry that he ate and drank all the meat and wine that had been on the road for several days.

Shen Yide shook the wine jar and said, "Big brother, it doesn't matter if you eat my dry food, don't spoil your appetite." ”

The man smiled and replied, "Thank you for saving your life, my name is Baturu, and I am from the grassland." ”

Shen Yide asked: "Big brother, but it's difficult, where did you come from?"

"Don't ask me where I'm from or where I'm going. I am a wanderer, and if I don't travel, life will be boring. ”

Soda said, "Uncle, you're a poet." ”

"No, I'm a steppe wandering singer. ”

Soda said admiringly: "There is a temperament." ”

"There's a little lake in front of me, and I want to take a shower and change my clothes," Baturu said. Do you have a change of clothes, two benefactors?"

Shen Yide said: "You take this clothes, we have something urgent to go, so don't pass by." ”

Baturu replied: "Two benefactors, then don't leave it here, I don't know what is urgent about the two of you?"

Soda casually said, "Go find the River Styx, Tuya." ”

Baturu asked, "Is it the water ghost Styx, the green ghost Tuya?"

Soda said, "Big brother, do you know each other too?"

Baturu said, "I am Tuya's uncle. I'll go with you to them. ”

There are at least a hundred auspicious inns in the north and south of the river. The big boss behind this auspicious inn is Shen Yide's father, Shen Million.

Styx and Tuya have been living in the auspicious inn in Zephyr Town, and Tuya's Gu poison has been removed and his body has healed. Styx coughed and laughed with her. The small table where the two of them sat was full of food and drink.

When Styx saw them, it was like an old friend, and greeted, "Let's sit down and have a drink." ”

Shen Yi had to excuse himself: "No, I'm going to rest with Soda early." This Baturu senior, who claims to be Tuya's uncle. ”

After a short greeting, Soda followed Shen Yide to the guest room on the second floor.
