Chapter 577: Strange Origin
"Where does she live, what does it have to do with us?" King Kong Cannon grabbed the clothes on the side and covered the woman with shame.
"We're about to enter the wilderness. You have to know something about it, and it's foolish to break in recklessly. I shook my head. I can currently deduce two conclusions based on this woman's situation, one is that there is Taoism or witchcraft in the wilderness, and the other is that this kind of Taoism or witchcraft is not the same as what we usually come into contact with, otherwise it is impossible for this woman to maintain her body immortal after being abolished.
"What now?" said King Kong Yawn, he had eaten too much for dinner, and if he ate too much, he would easily become sleepy.
"Help me get the hostess up. I muttered for a moment before I spoke.
"Done. King Kong Cannon nodded in agreement, and turned downstairs to call the proprietress who was cleaning up and closing.
"Call me if you have something. "King Kong Cannon finished the task and ran to sleep next door.
"Guest, what do you command?" the proprietress looked at me with a light in her eyes, to be exact, when she saw my heavy package.
"Where does this woman live on weekdays?" I gestured to the woman lying on the stretcher. This woman is no different from a vegetative person, and even if she doesn't need to eat and defecate, someone has to take care of her.
"She's a woman with Sun Ma Pole, and she lives on the back street. The proprietress raised her hand and pointed back.
"I'll ask you a few questions, and you're going to answer them truthfully. "I raised my hand and took out a handful of silver ingots from the package, the silver ingots were thirty-two taels and one piece, and I could reach out and grab three of them.
Seeing this, the proprietress hurriedly stretched out her hands to accept it, and I turned the three silver ingots in my hands, and did not give them to her at once.
"Who's Sun Mazhu?" I asked.
"He was a man, and he had lived in this town for many years, and he did not make a living on weekdays, but went around doing dirty things like stealing chickens and dogs, and he often came to the shop to eat wine on credit, and when he owed money for the wine, he let the woman come out to pay for it. The proprietress looked at the silver ingot in my hand with a blank look.
"How old is he, and what is his relationship with this woman?" I asked.
"Fifty or sixty old dregs, this woman was carried out of the mountains when he was young. The proprietress hurriedly replied.
"That's what she looked like in the first place?" I asked, frowning.
"I hadn't been here yet, that's what everybody said. The proprietress replied.
"How do you know her name since she was unconscious?" I threw out a piece of silver, which grabbed it like a pug waiting for food and carried it into my arms.
"Listening to what Sun Ma Pole said, this woman was wearing white clothes before, and Ma Pole was the fourth oldest in the family, and everyone called it the fourth sister before, and the fourth mother was only called in recent times. "The proprietress was so relieved that she was no longer eagerly looking at the two ingots left in my hand.
"Oh. I frowned and nodded, it seemed that my previous analysis was correct, this woman was indeed from the wild mountains.
"Guest officer, this woman seems to be from the Bai tribe. The proprietress listened to me, and hurriedly added something, trying to exchange another ingot.
"Tell me. I looked up at her.
"There was a Huang people who stopped in a small shop and saw Siniang, according to him, Siniang is a member of the Bai tribe. The Bai and Huang tribes mentioned by the proprietress are not exact names, but only a name for the four great tribes living in the wild mountains, and the clothes worn by these four tribes are white, black, red and yellow, so outsiders call them by the color of their clothes, in fact, what their tribe is called outsiders do not know.
"That Huang didn't help her out?" I asked, frowning.
"Where is he so kind, fortunately Siniang doesn't know the pain, otherwise he would definitely let him kill him. The proprietress looked horrified. It seems that she has seen something that makes her feel horrible.
"Let's go, take me to see that Sun Ma Pole. I said and stood up.
When the proprietress saw that I was going to see Sun Mazhu, she didn't refuse, and immediately beckoned the guy to come up and carry the woman.
"This woman will stay here first, and we will go see him. I shook my head. No matter who this woman is, if I touch me, I won't let her be torn again, even if she doesn't feel it.
"Good, good. Seeing this, the proprietress immediately bent down and agreed, and instead led me out of the inn and into the back street.
At this time, it was more than nine o'clock in the evening, and there were occasional pedestrians on the street, who were all spied at after seeing my package, but because I hung a sword on my waist and did not dare to follow the presumptuousness, I just watched from a distance, this scene made me sneer, in fact, the most powerful thing about your Taoist master is not the sword on his waist.
The house where Sun Ma Pole lives is very dilapidated, it is a semi-civil engineering building, there are many snakes and insects in the barbarian land, so the foundation of the house is very high, and a pungent smell comes to the face when it crosses the dilapidated threshold, because the south is relatively humid, so the whole room is full of musty smell, and there are few decent furniture and furnishings at home, there is a cooking earth platform in the middle of the main house, Sun Ma Pole is lying on the wooden bed in the house and sleeping soundly, and the room does not even have a wooden door.
Sun Ma Pole is naturally a nickname, but this person can indeed be described by Ma Pole, because he is tall and thin, one meter eight tall, and weighs less than one hundred pounds, and it is not that this person was born like this, but he is addicted to wine and hollowed out his body, this person is about sixty years old, with a rosacea nose and squinted eyes, and he looks very obscene, and he is lying there at this time with a mouth full of wine and snoring.
The proprietress stepped forward and pushed him a few times, but she didn't wake him up, but went to the outhouse, scooped a scoop of cold water, and splashed it on Sun Mazhu's head and face.
"Oops, what a bastard pastime. Sun Ma Pole jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, and wanted to be angry, but when he saw that it was the innkeeper, he suddenly softened, "Erniang, don't urge it so tightly." It seems that Sun Mazhuan owes the proprietress a lot of wine money, thinking that the proprietress is here to collect debts. In addition, there is a very significant feature of the people in this place, that is, they call the young women sister, the older ones are sisters, and the older ones call mother.
"Grandpa Fortune has arrived, so I can talk to you, and it will be good for you. The hostess pointed at me.
"Is Bai Siniang your woman?" I took a few steps back to avoid this obscene guy with bad breath, who used to brush his teeth in ancient times, but this guy definitely doesn't brush his teeth.
"Two pennies. Sun Ma Zhu raised two fingers and replied.
"I'm going to buy her. I said with a frown.
"Not for sale. Sun Ma Gong replied quite simply.
"Thirty-two taels. I sneered and said, I don't believe that there is still a business in the world that cannot be done, it is just a matter of price.
"No, not for sale. Sun Ma Zhu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and refused.
"Sixty-four taels. "Silver is not much different from bricks in my eyes, and besides, we are about to enter the mountains, and it is useless to bring so many silver taels.
"No, no, no......" Sun Mazhu's eyes straightened, but he still wanted to take the opportunity to increase the price. Seeing this, I turned around and made a gesture to leave, my uncle is not a fool if he is rich, what is the concept of sixty-four taels, enough for one person to build a house and buy land to spend the rest of his life in peace.
"Not a lot, knocked. Sun Ma Zhu turned back to the front at the last moment, and it became a lot not to sell, as for knocking, it may mean that the transaction is made, and the local dialect is not accurate.
"I'm going to get the notes in the study. As soon as the proprietress heard that Sun Ma Gong was relieved, she immediately twisted her ass with a smile and ran away, seeing that the virtuous Sun Ma Gong owed her a lot of money.
"Where did you meet this woman?" I asked, turning the silver ingot in my hand. Half of the reason why I wanted to buy this woman was to know where Sun Ma Zhu had picked her up back then, and the other half was because I wanted to find out why this woman who had lost the three souls had been alive, whether it was because of her different physique or the magic she had practiced before.
"In the mountains. Sun Ma made a gesture and pulled me to sit down, and I took a few steps back again so that his dirty hands would not touch me.
"I have another thank you for telling what happened. I threw him the two ingas of silver that I had in my hand.
Sun Ma Zhu trembled and picked up the silver ingots that had fallen to the ground, and the two collided and listened to the sound, and then put the silver ingots into his sleeve and opened the chatterbox.
Sun Ma Pole's ancestral home is the north, when he was young, he ran to the wild border because of the crime of killing his head, and he didn't have the capital to do business after coming here, and he was too lazy to make a living, so he relied on his previous pharmacy apprentice for a few days to know the ability of herbal medicine to learn the barbarians to go into the mountains to collect medicine and meet the great luck, only to find that the wild mountains and wilderness are different from the mountains and forests in the north, because the climate here is warm and humid, the trees are green all year round, the high canopy shades the sun, and even the sun can not be seen after entering the deep forest, so this Sun Ma pole successfully got lost in the first time when he entered the mountain。
Not only lost, but also very completely lost, southeast, northwest and northwest are not divided, digging earthworms and drinking bird eggs in the forest for half a month, and finally found a large ancient city between the four peaks, the ancient city has long been abandoned, surrounded by vines, Sun Ma pole wandered around the ancient city for a long time, and did not find anything gold and silver, but found a young girl in an abandoned room, that is, this Bai Siniang. Sun Mazhuan thought that he had encountered a demon at the time, and after approaching with courage, he found that Bai Siniang was a beautiful girl, so he carried her out with a "big kindness".
"Was she put there or was she lying there randomly?" I asked, frowning. An ordinary person can walk sixty miles a day in the mountains and wilderness, and half a month is only a thousand miles, it seems that the abandoned ancient city discovered by Sun Mazhu is not far from here.
"Lying in the corner. Sun Ma Gong replied immediately.
"Are there any signs of a fight around?" I asked. Lying in the corner at will shows that Bai Siniang was not sent there, it is possible that someone chased there and took away the three souls.
"I didn't pay attention. Sun Ma shook his head and said.
"Can you still find that abandoned ancient city now?" I pulled out another ingot of silver from my package.
"I can't find it, I can't find it. Sun Ma Gong shook his head like a drum. There are two possibilities why he shook his head, one is that he really can't find the path, and the other is that he is old and in poor health, so he doesn't dare to enter the mountain.
"How many days did it take you to get back?" I gave up on letting him lead the way.
"More than a month, thank you thank you. Sun Mazhu's eyes were fixed on the silver ingot in my hand.
"Are there any peculiar buildings in the ancient city?" I didn't give him the silver ingot right away.
"There are a lot of chimneys there, the largest of which is seven or eight feet high. "Sun Mazhuan was a little disappointed when he saw that I didn't give him the silver ingot.
Sun Mazhu's words made me suspicious, seven or eight zhang is more than 20 meters, equivalent to six or seven stories high, what is the chimney erected so high in the abandoned ancient city......
