49: Seeking food
There is no time in the mountains, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Yi Fan has traveled more than ten miles with disgusted ghosts, except for a few little ghosts captured in the ruins of Lanruo Temple, nothing else has happened, and nothing has happened quietly.
But Yi Fan knew that there must be a monster hidden in the depths of the mountain, but it was covered up by a blinding method, and he didn't find it.
He is not in a hurry, as long as he dares to show up, sooner or later he will find his traces.
So I took advantage of these times to cut down some trees, repair the windows and gates, and repair the Taoist temple inside and out, and finally got some appearance.
After the morning class that day, Chen Nier came to greet her: "Dao Chief, breakfast has been prepared." ”
Yi Fan nodded, came to the kitchen, and saw several rice bowls on the table next to the stove, and a wooden basin in the middle, which was porridge like clear water.
Yi Fan frowned and said, "How much grain is left?"
Chen Lan was a little nervous, looked at Yi Fan cautiously, and said, "Nier and I went out to pick some wild vegetables and came back, and we can eat them for half a month." ”
"It's dangerous in the mountains, there are monsters hiding, don't go too far, if you go out, let the disgusting ghosts go with you, so that you can take care of it. ”
Yi Fan nodded, sat down, Chen Lan served him porridge, put a few grains of rice into the bowl, handed it over, and then stood aside and waited, and said, "Don't worry, Dao Chief, I won't go too far, just collect wild vegetables around." ”
Seeing that she didn't sit down, Yi Fan didn't force it, glanced at Chen Nier, saw that her body was thin and her face was sallow, she knew that this was a sign of malnutrition, and said in a deep voice: "Today I will go down the mountain to get some food and come back, and I will come back in a few days, I will let the disgusting ghosts guard in the view, and you should try to go out as little as possible, so as not to run into monsters." ”
"The slave knows, don't worry. ”
After Yi Fan drank the porridge, he was disgusted with ghosts, gave a few instructions, took a few magic bags with talismans, and went out, all the way was calm, and occasionally saw a few corpses, but he didn't see them.
These days, there was also a light rain in Guobei County, and there was barely some life, but there were more and more hungry people, and when they arrived in Guobei County, they were all over the streets.
"My daughter is good-looking, eats less, is easy to feed, and the uncle is good, so buy it." ”
"Get out, get out, it's like this, if you don't pull a few thin, you can't hold on all night, who will die when the time comes?"
......
Countless children and women with a weed on top of their heads, bowing their heads, kneeling on the ground, begging passers-by to buy them, and even more men with powdery faces picking and choosing, pulling out women from them from time to time, as if picking goods, all kinds of picky.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the miscellaneous pile next to him, and other people were used to it, but Yi Fan's eyes were fixed, and he saw a man lying on the woman's body undulating, and then slapped the woman in the face, got up and kicked a few times: "Damn, there is no meat at all, Lao Tzu is in pain, go back with Lao Tzu, don't serve Lao Tzu well today, beat you slut to death." ”
As he spoke, he was still angry, picked up the stick next to him, and whipped hard, only to hear the woman's screams becoming weaker and weaker, and dying.
Suddenly, the man screamed and flew out, and a person came behind him, it was Yi Fan.
"How dare you beat Lao Tzu, do you know who Lao Tzu is? If I don't stab you to death today, Lao Tzu is not surnamed Yan. The man got up, drew his dagger from his waist, and rushed up with a hideous face.
Yi Fan's face was expressionless, he raised his foot is a kick, and the man flew out again, this time with some strength, it took him half a sound to get up, knowing that he had kicked on the iron plate, he hesitated, and said fiercely: "You wait, there is a kind of you don't run." ”
After speaking, he even rushed out with a rolling belt, Yi Fan didn't stop him, such a person, killed his dirty hands, approached the woman, covered her clothes, and said, "Female layman, are you okay?"
The woman raised her head, spitted on me, and said resentfully: "Okay? This thief has cut off my way of life, and finally someone has taken a fancy to me, even if I suffer, at least I can survive, but I was cut off by you, where do you say I am good? At this time, I hate to eat your flesh and drink your blood." ”
Yi Fan was speechless for a while, he didn't expect to be nosy, looked around, saw that everyone's eyes were numb, and there was a dead silence, sighed, shook his head, didn't stay any longer, and walked straight forward, leaving the woman in place to continue cursing.
This time he learned to be well-behaved, without baggage, and was covered in a shabby robe, although it was clean but also down, he was only stared at by a few groups of people for a long time, and when he saw that there was no oil and water to fish, he no longer followed.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in front, passers-by surrounded him, Yi Fan also followed, and saw a notice posted on the wall, Zhang Yuan's house in the west of the city was making a demon, please have the ability to go over to get rid of the demon, if you succeed, there will be a good reward.
"Why do you think it's a good thing, just about Zhang Yuan's family, let's forget it, don't lose your life and it's not worth it. ”
"Yes, yes, I went to a lot of people last time, but a few monks and Taoists were selected, and the next day the body was carried out, and the death was so miserable. ”
"Hmph, it's all a bunch of timid guys, I'll go ......" someone snorted coldly, and then pushed aside the crowd and went out, seeing someone taking the lead, so he blinked and lost half of his eyes and followed.
Yi Fan hesitated, and followed, walking for half an hour, more and more people followed along the way, and after a while, there were hundreds of people in the team, and more people were watching the excitement, and there were also unscrupulous people.
When they arrived at a mansion, the team suddenly stopped, and there was chaos, only to see dozens of men with knives standing in front of them, each strong and fierce, led by a butler dressed as a man.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my Zhang Mansion only invites capable righteous people, as for the others, please disperse, don't use the sword, it's not good to hurt your life. ”
After a while, half of the people were missing, and the rest looked at each other, hesitating to leave, and the housekeeper did not urge, but smiled: "Presumably, those who stay are all capable people, but they have to be tested before they can be elected as candidates for demon extermination." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a few men behind him and said, "As long as you can pass a few tricks in the hands of a few of them, you will pass the test." ”
The men stepped forward and drew their broadswords. Suddenly, the cold light flashed, so that the people who were already hesitant immediately turned around and left, and after a while, there were only more than ten people left.
Someone stood up and patted his chest: "My Brother Qin'er will try it." ”
After a few rounds, the two sides retreated, and the housekeeper came up in surprise and said, "Qin Yishi is good at martial arts, please wait over there." ”
Next, three or four more people went up, but they were probably cut by a few knives, and then no one dared to go up, waiting for a while, seeing that no one was on again, Yi Fan stepped forward and arched his hand: "Poor Dao is willing to give it a try." ”
