Chapter 22 Saving a Private House
Deep in the forest there is a relatively steep mountain, and the difference is that its vegetation is not denser because of the old forest in the depths, on the contrary, many places are bare, and the gray rocks are exposed to the sun.
Occasionally, there are a few trees, but they are all undrawn, and they look malnourished.
On the opposite side is a low dirt slope, which is low but verdant. The trees are verdant, weeds and thorns are entwined with each other, and mosquitoes are swarming.
"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and Yingge didn't know that this was the first time that the mosquito had been killed, and she slapped it with one hand.
The corpse of the mosquito, flattened into small black spots, is printed on the snow-white palm, which is particularly disgusting. Yingge pulled a leaf in disgust and wiped her hands vigorously and repeatedly, until the palms of her hands were rubbed red and there was no black in sight.
"Sister, you just picked a leaf with a lot of black spots. Shi Fei kindly reminded.
"I know. Yingge's tone was blunt, she was not blind, how could she not see it.
Hmph, it's all their fault, they want to come to suppress some bandits, but they squatted in the grass to feed the mosquitoes. Childe is really, even if I believe that they really have the ability to take the bandits here in a pot, there is no need to follow Baba's personally, it will be in vain.
"Buzzing ......" and mosquitoes that don't have long eyes are coming around, really, why do you always revolve around her.
"My eleventh senior brother told me that the black dots are poop pulled by small insects, and I just observed their shape, color and distribution, and nine times out of ten they are left by Qiang flies. ”
Yingge's pretty face was white and red for a while, and she felt even more disgusting, and she had the urge to chop off her hand and throw it away.
Yan Yu is worthy of being her partner for more than ten years, and knows her personality and temper well, so she hurriedly comforted her, and took out a water hyacinth to wash her hands briefly, and said: "Little brother, there are swarms of mosquitoes here, but they don't bite you at all, but what is the secret recipe?"
"Of course, the people in our Dao Sect have special insect avoidance charms, and these little insects are nothing. Shi Fei said proudly.
Yan Yu smiled more gently: "Little brother, you see that my sister has been suffering from mosquito bites here, can you lend her a talisman to use?"
"Didn't you get bitten too?" Shi Fei pointed at Zhou Yi and her, they didn't help anyone themselves, why should they ask him to help as a child.
The fairy sister has told her, but the adults are not willing to help, but she came to find a child, there must be a secret that no one knows.
Yan Yu was stunned for a moment before saying: "My son-in-law takes medicine all year round, and the medicine in his body is strong, and I also serve herbs all year round and also get various medicinal smells, so mosquitoes generally don't come close to us." ”
"Oh. This explanation also makes sense, the medicine garden behind the Sanyuan Temple is obviously free of mosquito harassment, and when it comes to the hot summer, the senior brothers will run there to enjoy the coolness.
"If you want to borrow my talisman paper, you can do it, but ......" Shi Fei's big clear eyes "purred" a few times.
"Just say what you want, right?" Yingge couldn't stand the swarms of mosquitoes, and at this moment there were several more bags on her bare neck and face.
"Just now you promised that if your brother and sister helped you snatch things back, you would give sixty percent as a thank you. Then I don't want more, just half of it. Shi Fei looked at them slyly.
Along the way, he has fully realized the taste of being unable to move an inch without money, and realized that money is the most important thing when people walk in the rivers and lakes.
Didn't you see that the two "immortals" of the fairy sister and the dragon brother were at a loss in the face of this thing? Although he still didn't quite understand why Lu Qiqi would rather work hard to make money than use the spell of "turning stones into gold", probably because the spells have a time limit, and there will always be a day when they disappear.
So he decided that from now on, he wanted to save money for his private house, and he would save a lot of private money.
"You're dreaming!" Yingge jumped.
Thirty thousand taels of silver, half of the achievement is one thousand five hundred taels, this little Taoist priest is so old has he ever seen one hundred and fifty taels of silver?
Shi Fei pouted and stopped talking, anyway, it wasn't that he was bitten by mosquitoes.
"Ahem, Chief, I agreed. Zhou Yi leaned on the trunk of the tree and half-lay and half-sitting, because he had followed them before, his body was obviously unable to support it, and he was short of breath when he spoke.
"Childe, you don't have to ......" Yingge's words were intercepted by Zhou Yi's eyes.
"Really?" Shi Fei's eyes lit up.
"Really, this king can swear. Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Shi Fei also laughed happily: "You don't have to swear, you are not in good health, and it is easy to eat yourself if you swear more, you just need to remember to give it to me." ”
After all, he is young and kind-hearted, and he doesn't have much scheming. He never thought that others would fool him.
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and really laughed from the bottom of his heart, this kid is really naïve. How long has it been since he met such a naïve person, as if there has been no word "naïve" in his life for as long as he can remember.
Shi Fei got his assurance, took out a brocade bag embroidered with a cloud pattern from his arms, and carefully pulled out a palm-sized rune paper from it.
"Can I take a look?" Zhou Yi leaned forward and asked curiously.
The family gave them five hundred taels, and Shi Fei was not stingy, handed over the rune paper, and instructed: "Be careful, if it is broken, it will be useless." ”
The rune paper is very precious, except for the master, there is only a little bit of the senior brother, and the ones drawn by the other senior brothers, in the words of the master, are not even enough to burn the paper.
Zhou Yi nodded, and also carefully took the rune paper. The fluttering rune paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in the palm of his hand, and the yellow bottom was full of strange lines painted with cinnabar, of course, he couldn't see why.
"How to use this?" Zhou Yi said.
"This is the easiest, just spit on your body. Shi Fei said.
It is said that this kind of simple rune paper is not even ranked. It's not like the runes in the story at all, which either need essence blood or spiritual power.
Zhou also handed the rune paper to Yingge and motioned for her to use it. Yingge was awkward, in her opinion, 1,500 taels for such a piece of torn yellow paper was really not worth it.
But she didn't dare to disobey Childe's order, so she turned her back and spit on the talisman paper, and casually stuck it on her waist.
Sure enough, the mosquitoes that had just circled her were separated as if they had encountered some kind of barrier. Yingge's face was happy.
"It's amazing. Zhou also praised.
Yan Yu also smiled and said, "Little master, this talisman is so powerful, I think your master must be a master outside the world, right?"
Shi Fei blinked, is the master a master outside the world? However, he took his brothers down the mountain to farm every year, busy with crops, and did not match the image of a master at all.
"Little master, this is unwilling to reveal the master's door, right?" Yan Yu guessed.
She knew that many talented Taoists were reluctant to reveal their information, just like the former viewer of the first great view of the Great Holy Dynasty, the Baiyun Temple. Everyone knows that after he resigned from the position of the Lord, he spent his days outside, but no one knew what he looked like.
"No, it's just that my master often helps the people under the mountain to work together, and also gives them money for treatment, so he shouldn't be a master in the world. Shi Fei touched his head, and the master's behavior should be "a master who has entered the WTO".
"It's still a master. Yan Yu smiled, "Alas, it's boring for us to sit here anyway, or the little master will tell us about the strange things in your view, and let us open our eyes." ”
Shi Fei is even more blind, and they are just ordinary Taoist temples can have any strange things, not to say that the strange things in the capital are so much.
"There are no strange things, tell us the story of the fairy spirits, you Daomen people should know more. Yan Yu said and handed Yingge a look.
Yingge comprehended, and said with a bright smile: "Yes, yes, I like to listen to stories the most, little brother, you are a good child, tell me about it." ”
Where did Shi Fei go through such a battle, in the face of the two of them, his ears were filled with the sound of "chirping", which was more terrifying than the fact that he knew that Ao Tuo was not a human or a demon.
"Okay, okay, what do you want to hear, I'll pick up what I know. Shi Fei was defeated.
"Anything?" said Yingge.
"Yes, anything. Shi Fei said, and at the same time slandered in his heart, as long as you don't continue to "twitter" in my ear.
"Then I want to hear stories about mythical beasts, such as dragons. ”
"Dragon?" Shi Fei's pupils shrank.
Yingge nodded: "Well, you also know that we ordinary people worship dragons the most, especially our son-in-law is a member of the royal family and the son of a true dragon, so we are even more interested." ”
"It's not easy, Brother Long...... The surname is Dragon. The words that were about to be said turned a corner.
It's true that Ao Tuo is a member of the dragon clan, but he seems to have done something bad and is being hunted down. I am friends with him now, and I can't be a villain who betrays my friends no matter what.
"Hehe, little brother, what they asked is not a dragon surnamed Long, but a legendary divine beast dragon that can call the wind and rain and transform with it, have you ever seen it?" Zhou Yi laughed.
"No!" Shi Fei categorically denied it.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, dragons are divine beasts, how can they be seen so easily. After speaking, Shi Fei closed his mouth tightly.
He made up his mind not to say it, and they didn't say it if they wanted to hear the story.
"Click-click-"
With a rush of footsteps, Lu Qiqi and Ao Tuo ran over with sweaty faces.
"Sister Lu, Brother Long. Shi Fei jumped up as if he saw a savior coming, and greeted him.
Lu Qiqi and Ao Tuo came over, and they didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and sat down.
"It's hot to death, why is the sun so big in this place. Lu Qiqi complained while wiping his sweat with his sleeve.
But normal people will be dark when they bask in such a big sun for so long, but Lu Mi and Ao Tuo are not only not black, but the skin on their faces and hands is even fairer and clearer.
can envy Yanyu and Yingge.
"Two Dao Masters, how about this harvest?" Zhou Yi leaned against the trunk of the tree and smiled, as if the conversation with Shi Fei just now did not exist.
Lu Mi said: "It's not bad, there are only twenty or thirty bandits, there is no difficulty." ”
In order to ensure the smooth snatching of Zhou Yi's property, Lu Mi and Ao Tuo volunteered to act as pioneers to explore the situation in the bandits' den. And the base of this group of bandits is on the hill opposite, which looks a little bare.
