The First Rain of Spring Chapter 25 The Ancient Town
Sunlight shines through the narrow opening, making it look particularly bright in the dimly lit tomb.
Yun Lanyan stretched her body, and suddenly felt that something was pressing on her shoulder. Combined with the current environment, the whole body instantly fell into numbness.
He tried to raise his other hand and reach for the pinned shoulder, touching something very warm and stuffy. Turning his head to look, the hanging heart was put down. It turned out to be the white fox, curled up on his shoulders and falling asleep.
Yun Lanyan was about to gently put it aside. Unexpectedly, as soon as it touched it, it woke up, and then ran out in a puff of smoke. Lan Yan looked around, but he didn't see the figure of the old man Hanako, so he also lowered himself out of the ancient tomb.
The sun was bright and dazzling, and I couldn't open my eyes for a while.
After a little relaxation, I saw that the old Hanako was roasting a pheasant on the side. Looking at the dripping fat, my stomach seemed to growl.
Yun Lanyan walked up to the old man, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Senior, when will it be baked?"
"Fuck off, you will know how to eat when you wake up, and go and practice the trick you taught you yesterday again. Minghuazi's eyes were completely attracted by the sizzling roast chicken, and she didn't raise her head before she pushed Lan Yan aside.
Yun Lanyan carefully ran the magic trick, inhaled and exhaled the surrounding spiritual energy, and cleaned up the turbid qi in his body, and indeed clearly felt that the spiritual power was a little more than before, although it was not a big change, but he could still feel it. As Ming Huazi said, it is several times faster than the usual accumulation of spiritual power through cultivation.
Just when I was surprised, I heard the old man Hanako scolding: "Plagued beast, don't think that you can grab the chicken you caught, this is roasted by me!
I saw the white fox holding half of the roast chicken in his mouth, and he ran towards Yun Lanyan with a brisk pace. I went to him, put the roast chicken on the stone, and sat down obediently.
This made Yun Lanyan a little surprised, and he tore apart the roast chicken with a smile, distributed the chicken legs to the white fox, and called out the night fox to give a part, and finally ate the rest by himself.
The old man also walked over, glared at the white fox with disdain, and nibbled on the remaining roast chicken in his hand.
"Is this the pheasant it caught?" Yun Lanyan asked curiously.
"It was caught in the night, but I baked it. The beast tore off most of it in one bite and ran away. Minghuazi shouted angrily.
"Eat other people's things, and scold others. Beware of retribution. Yun Lanyan glanced at Ming Huazi with disdain, and instead thanked the white fox with a smile. The fox didn't respond, and gnawed on the chicken leg to himself.
"Scold it, I even peeled it to be a lieutenant. Minghuazi shouted and took another step forward, pretending to scare the white fox viciously.
Seeing him approaching, the white fox hid directly to Yun Lanyan's side. Yun Lanyan touched the little head of the white fox, and then looked at the old man called Huazi, the senior was like a child who had succeeded in his prank, looking at this side proudly, and eating the prey caught by others in his mouth.
Yun Lanyan looked at the old man in front of him with a little helplessness and asked, "Such an old person, bullying a little fox, and being so complacent." Is it your spirit animal? What's its name?"
The old man called Huaziyan and said, "No, I saved it from the kindness of the passer, I shouldn't have helped it if I knew it, I don't have a name." ”
"It is estimated that you will not know your name until you cultivate until the spirit of enlightenment speaks, so let's call you Xiaoyao first. Yun Lanyan touched the little head of the white fox as if talking to herself.
The white fox squinted and glanced at him unsatisfied.
After a short break.
Hanako always told her to throw away her bones, and her greasy hands wiped her somewhat tattered clothes. Before leaving, he instructed Yun Lanyan to follow closely, and when stepping on footwork, do not follow the rules rigidly.
Yun Lanyan agreed, and incorporated the night fox spirit body into her body. So he followed the old man and continued on his way.
In the evening, the two of them were already standing on the top of the hill near the town, looking down on the whole of Lailong Town.
The quaint town, with its busy traffic and drizzle, is even more tranquil and serene.
Walk into the city.
The ancient eaves, the peach weeping willows are reflected in the inland river water of the town, and they come into view at the same time. Stepping on the gravel paved path, you can hear the crisp cry of the yellow warbler in the trees, which is extremely pleasant. Take a deep breath and the breeze blowing through the river carries the smell of fresh aquatic plants, which is refreshing.
The wonderful scenery was completely ruined after a shout.
Then I heard the tinkling sound continue, and the old man who walked in front of him took out the longboard and a pair of crescent porcelain tiles in his hand when they first met from his arms. Walking and tapping in front, there are words in his mouth.
Standing in front of a vendor, he began a tirade. The pronunciation rhymes, but it disturbs people from doing business well. I had no choice but to throw a few copper coins to the old man called Hanako. He waved his hand, thanked him, and said a good word, then turned around and walked to the next store.
Yun Lanyan, who was originally quite close to the old Hanako, saw this scene and couldn't help but rub it to the side. Looking down, the white fox Xiaoyao also leaned closer to Yun Lanyan's side.
"I'm going to find a place to rest first. Lan Yan shouted to the old man, but without waiting for him to respond, he picked up the white fox and strode away.
In the blink of an eye, he had run a distance before he heard Ming Huazi's voice from behind: "Don't stay in the inn, just find a people's firewood house to spend the night." ”
Although Yun Lanyan wanted to change to a comfortable environment to rest, she had no choice but to have a pitiful amount of broken silver on her body, and she was left behind by her senior sister before leaving. had to knock on the doors of several people's houses along the road, but as soon as the door opened, before Yun Lanyan could ask if he could spend the night, the door was heavily closed, and even the door bolt was pulled.
Only Yun Lanyan froze in place, and asked half of the words.
After asking many people in a row, an old man finally agreed to lend a firewood house for the two of them to stay for one night. After a brief conversation, it was learned that there were only two elderly people in the family who lived with their granddaughter, who was in the prime of her cardamom years.
The old man asked Hanako to knock on the door and come in, which shocked the old people for a while, and Zai Yunlanyan hurriedly explained that this was the person who was walking with him. The two old men were relieved. Just as the two of them were talking and felt that the town seemed to be a little resistant to outsiders, the two old men of the family heard Yun Lanyan and talked about the predicament that the town was in now.
Since a year ago. Every month and a half or a month, a woman is lost to thousands of homes in the town. No one knows where they went, and no one has ever seen someone rob them. Up to now, more than a dozen women have been lost in a row, and now the residents of the town are panicked and very afraid of outsiders.
The old man Hanako twisted her beard, muttered for a moment and seemed to be suddenly, asking the old man if he knew when the last time he lost a woman happened.
The old woman frowned and thought about it, then said in a somewhat trembling tone: "It should have been more than half a month ago."
"Yes, it is estimated that there will be another half a month. I don't know whose doll is going to suffer again. The old man sitting on the side said, and couldn't help but look at the granddaughter who was serving the food to the two guests from the kitchen with worried eyes.
"Don't worry, we may be able to help you. The old man said to the two old men as he took the things.
The two old men looked at each other. Finally, politely asked who they were.
The old name Huazi was not polite, patted Yun Lanyan on the side, and introduced unashamedly: "This is a disciple of the Penglai Xianxia faction." It will definitely help the town through this difficult time. As soon as he said this, he almost choked Yun Lanyan with a mouthful of water.
The two old men were so excited when they heard this, they helped each other forward, and they were about to kneel down and ask for help.
Yun Lanyan stepped forward and hurriedly hugged the old man, glared at the old man Hanako with an innocent face, and hurriedly persuaded the two old men and the girl who was sobbing on the side.
"We'll do our best to find out why, don't worry. It may take a while longer, though. ”
The old people nodded again and again and said, "If you can save my granddaughter and save this town, you will be the great benefactor of the town, and you can live as long as you want." ”
