Chapter Twenty-Nine: Engong
Duan Chengmian walked through the courtyard and came to the stove that was set up outside the courtyard and covered by a thatched hut. The stove was indeed filled with hearty dishes, and there were even a few slightly notched porcelain bowls with rice in them.
There were three people standing next to the stove, all of whom were extremely burly, and their faces were full of meat, giving people a fierce and vicious feeling. The three of them surrounded the city, and they were whispering, but when they saw Duan Chengmian coming out, they immediately surrounded him, and a person with a thick nasal voice asked in a low voice, "Mayor Town, what do you say?"
Duan Chengmian glanced at the three of them, then nodded.
There were two people with happy faces, and when they looked at each other, their doubts were dispelled a lot, only the other one was still frowning, and asked worriedly: "Mayor Town, this young man is extraordinary, I heard Liu Mazi, who was not bewitched by demons yesterday and then came out, said that the young man was dark as soon as he made a move, lightning and thunder, and the last time it was even more golden light, just like the gods, why don't we let him go, we don't mention the matter of him destroying the corpse worm?"
Duan Chengmian looked at the man, sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Pingzi, I naturally know what you said. But our 200 or so families in Shiqiao Town all make a living by secretly selling corpse insects, and this young man suddenly destroyed the corpse pile that we spent nearly a year building, and it is simply cutting off the income of all the 200 or so families in our town!"
The man in the middle said in a buzzing voice: "Pingzi, we have killed so many people, even the city lord of Mocheng is now a Ming lord, once there is any rumor in the past, he will definitely send someone to investigate, and we will not be able to eat and walk around at that time." At this point, we have to get rid of the boy. And the girl was born so beautifully, if you sell her elsewhere, there must still be some harvest this year. Otherwise, the whole town will starve to death!" After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "I also know what you are worried about, brother." You can rest assured, the medicine in this dish is more than ten times that of the past, even if the gods eat it, they will have to turn into a ball of mud and fall to the ground, and it will be much easier to clean it up when the time comes, and you are not afraid that others will eat it by mistake, you will put ten thousand hearts!"
Pingzi's face was cloudy, he struggled and hesitated for a while, sighed, nodded heavily, and without hesitation, he suddenly became fierce and cold.
Duan Chengmian said: "After you make arrangements, call Aunt Cai and them to bring the food, and I will go first." ”
The three of them nodded and returned to the stove, took out packets of white powder from the haystack, and moved. Duan Chengmian watched their movements, although his face was still calm, but his heart was a little dignified.
Since you woke up on the edge of the mass grave, Duan Chengmian was a little bored, and then a small wave of people from the town ran over from outside the woods, and he only knew what happened last night after asking carefully. However, the reality is that instead of thanking the boy for what he did, the townspeople think that he should pay the price for destroying the corpse pile of corpse worms that he has painstakingly built.
It's just that because of the strength of that young man, they didn't dare to be blatant, and finally came up with a sweat pill that took advantage of his weakness to give him ten times the sweat pill, and then dealt with him when he was hit. And the girl was born extremely gorgeous, so I found someone to tie her up and sell her to some big families or green houses, and she will definitely make a lot of money.
Duan Chengmian turned around and returned to the small door in the courtyard, where he could vaguely hear the two talking, but he couldn't hear what was being talked about. He pushed open the door and walked in, Yin Fan and the realm spirit both turned their eyes to him at the same time, and he said with a smile:
"The food is ready, someone will bring it soon, Engong, you wait a little longer. ”
Yin Fan sat up from the bed, leaned his back against the head of the bed, and smiled back: "It's okay." ”
The realm spirit turned his head to look at Duan Chengmian, and also said with a smile: "You are also a good ......"
"Ahem"
Yin Fan immediately interrupted her with a fake cough and continued, "Old man, how much more is there to Jimo City?"
Duan Chengmian said: "There are still forty miles to the north along the official road to the south gate of Jimo. He paused and asked, "Is Engong going to Jimo to visit relatives and friends?"
Yin Fan said: "No, it's just to listen to people's guidance and go to Jimo City for a walk." ”
The wrinkles on Duan Chengmian's forehead were slightly less, and he said, "That's the case." ”
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and a woman asked in a loud voice, "Is this the food brought in?"
Duan Chengmian moved an old wooden table next to him and replied, "Bring it in." ”
Two middle-aged women who had already begun to get fat walked in with eight dishes and put them on the table, and the rice, vegetables, and soup were extremely complete. Yin Fan had already smelled this smell, he didn't eat a little bit on weekdays like the realm spirits, and even in Jiusang Mountain, he only ate some fruits, he at least ate a few barbecues on weekdays to fill his stomach and feed the blood talismans.
After running around continuously for the past few days, I didn't have enough food, and when I saw this table of sumptuous dishes that I hadn't seen for a long time, I suddenly drooled.
"Young master, your saliva has fallen......"
"Oh? yes, it doesn't matter. He had all his strength, jumped up directly from the bed and pulled the realm spirit to sit on the edge of the table, glanced at Duan Chengmian, coughed, and said, "Old man, I heard that your life is relatively poor on weekdays, it doesn't matter if I eat so wantonly, right?"
"Look, what are you talking about? You saved hundreds of people in our town, everyone already knew. Don't talk about a pig, we are willing to kill a few more. ”
When Yin Fan heard this, he was very relieved, and immediately picked up his chopsticks and ate with lightning speed. In the stunned eyes of the realm spirit and Duan Chengmian, in just a moment, he had eaten several dishes and bowls of rice, and he still looked a little unfinished looking at his posture.
Duan Chengmian hurriedly called someone to add a few more dishes and brought a small bucket of rice. Although every plate of food is filled with sweat medicine, the more Yin Fan eats, the more he feels at ease, but after eating so many dishes with sweat medicine, ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to wake up in this life, but this young man has no reaction at all at this moment, which makes him feel so anxious.
But just when the second wave of vegetables was served, the realm spirit fainted first, Yin Fan was stunned, and before he could react, he realized that the world was spinning in his mind, and he fell on the table.
Seeing this scene, Duan Chengmian was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked over and asked urgently: "Engong Engong, what's wrong with you, Engong?" He patted him on the shoulder again, and found that he had indeed fainted, and he must have shouted loudly outside:
"Come on in!"
As soon as the words fell, the three strong men who were originally on the stove immediately rushed in with kitchen knives, Duan Chengmian pointed at Yin Fan and said, "Quick, quick, don't waste time, just do him now!"
Pingzi had already made up his mind just now, and no longer hesitated, he came to Yin Fan's side with a kitchen knife, raised the kitchen knife high, aimed at Yin Fan's head and cut it off.
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound in the yard, and when the kitchen knife in Pingzi's hand was one foot away from Yin Fan's head, the window was smashed with a bang, and a white figure slammed into Pingzi's body, and Pingzi's whole person flew out, hit the foot of the bed and fainted.
The little white horse was very angry when he saw that both of them had fainted, and hissed loudly at the three people present with his mouth open.
Several people were shocked and didn't know why. A man ran in from outside the courtyard and said loudly to Duan Chengmian: "Village chief, this horse doesn't know what's going on, it's rushing straight from a distance, and it can't be stopped!"
Duan Chengmian was furious and shouted: "Then don't call someone to come in and restrain it, can you stop it when it runs again!"
The man came to his senses and hurriedly called for men from the courtyard, and for a time the bedroom was full of people. The little white horse looked left and right, suddenly turned around and bit the realm spirit and threw it on his back, and then bit Yin Fan again, jumping out of the window when he came, and Yin Fan's head in the middle crashed after death, but it still failed to wake him up.
However, under this violent shaking, the realm spirit slowly opened a trace of his eyes, but his whole body was still weak, and he didn't know what was going on.
The little white horse fell into the yard and wanted to run out, but the dozens of people who were guarding the yard just now suffered a loss, which would have already learned to be smart, and formed a big circle, with kitchen knives, wood knives, and hoes in their hands, and it was extremely difficult to move two feet around it.
Although Duan Chengmian was apprehensive when the little white horse jumped from his head just now, he was even more afraid when he thought of the consequences after the two of them ran away, so he hurriedly leaned out of the window and shouted at the people in the courtyard: "Quickly beat it to death! When it takes the two of them away, we will have no way to live! Do you all want to die!"
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them gritted his teeth and was about to swing the hoe in his hand, when the realm spirit suddenly raised his head, and a fireball suddenly attacked him.
The man was startled and hurriedly avoided his body, and the people behind him also swarmed to dodge.
The realm spirit threw out a fireball and then closed its eyes and fainted. But the little white horse picked up the hole, and without saying a word, he rushed out of the path opened by the fireball with a kick of his hind hooves, and ran into the distance.
Seeing that the two of them had fled, Duan Chengmian had a pale look, his legs were weak, and the whole person sat on the ground, his eyes were demented, and he kept saying: "It's over, it's over......"
Everyone in the courtyard didn't expect them to escape, and they were all stunned for a while, looking at the smoke and dust raised by the little white horse in the distance, and disappeared on the other side of the road in an instant. The person who had the intention to chase after him saw the little white horse so fast, and immediately dispelled this idea.
In the huge courtyard, except for Duan Chengmian saying "It's over" there, there was no noise.
