Weird fairy

Chapter 269
After Bai Lingmiao delivered the two bowls of rice, Li Huowang saw that the two wheat guests were so excited that their hands were shaking, and they kept thanking Bai Lingmiao and saying something.

Compared with Li Huowang and others who needed wild vegetable soup to relieve their boredom, the two Mikes had no such troubles at all. They held the bowl with both hands with their almost pious expressions, and ate the bowl of bacon rice bit by bit.

The rice in the bowl was quickly eaten up by them, but the bacon in the rice was directly picked out by the two of them, and carefully wrapped in cloth, it seemed that they planned to save the meat for later.

Old Maike ran to the creek by the edge of the field, washed the two bowls clean, showed a few missing teeth, and brought the bowls to Li Huowang with a smile.

Old Maike seemed to want to say something, but he was so dumb that he couldn't speak. In the end, it was Li Huowang who spoke first.

"Old man, there are so many fields in Daliang and the harvest is so good, you are already old, and you still want to go out to work in the fields?"

"That...they belong to the landlord's house. No matter how good the harvest is, it has nothing to do with us. I can't eat half a grain of rice."

After the old Maike finished speaking, as if breaking the barrier between the two, he smiled at Li Huowang again.

"Master Taoist, thank you for your food. The oil and water are too big. One meal is worth three meals."

"You're welcome, it's just a meal. Is the old man rushing to the wheat field near here? Have you been to Pi County?" Li Huowang finally revealed his purpose.

"Why have you been there? There are so many of them! Hey - I have driven all the grain fields in that county over the years!"

As soon as he talked about his familiar topic, Maike's confidence returned instantly, and his two calloused hands gestured in the air.

"I told you, cutting wheat is a skilled job. Those young people who don't know how to cut wheat can't cut me! Let's talk about the handle of the sickle. It can't be too high, and it can't be too low. It must be just right"

Li Huowang raised his head and interrupted the other party, "Old man, have you been to Napi County recently?"

"I've been! I've been there before. I'm here to pick up my nephew. Otherwise, I'll cut all the grain land in Pixian County by myself! You can just say it's about cutting wheat, but it takes skill—" -"

"Have you really been there? You haven't noticed that the people there are any different?"

Li Huowang is not worried that there is a problem there, but that the problem there is not big enough.

If the problem is not big enough to attract Supervisor Tiansi, then he will run away for nothing.

And you should also ask clearly about the time, if the person who supervises Tiansi has already been here, then it will be considered a waste of time.

When he saw Li Huowang's serious expression, Old Maike was a little nervous. He scratched the back of his head and said submissively: "The people there are so different. The money is all paid, and the food is not treated badly. But, they all Stay in the house happily, don't come out all the time, put the money and food outside the door, let us take it ourselves."

Nervous, has a bad complexion, and likes to stay indoors?Li Huowang silently analyzed these three strange messages in his heart.

No matter what, it seems that Supervisor Tiansi probably hasn't come to solve the problem yet.

Li Huowang recalled everything he had encountered before, and added this question again.

"Then what else? Is there any difference in their appearance from ordinary people?"

"What a change, how can people be different from each other? No, one nose and two holes."

Of course Li Huowang knew that people were the same as people, but now he suspected that people living in Pi County might not be people.

"No matter what happened there, the matter must be bigger." Li Huowang thought to himself.

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Old Mai Ke thought about it, turned around and walked towards his nephew.

But just halfway through, the old Mike turned back again, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing to say, that one is in Pi County, they beat dolls very well, really good!"

"When I just finished receiving the money, I passed under the window of a house where the baby was crying~ tsk tsk tsk, I couldn't bear to hear it~"

Li Huowang stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Is this really beating a child? Or are they using the child for something else?"

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the way the water bandits used boys and girls to summon He Bo. For this completely crazy world, Li Huowang always planned for the worst.

And after hearing what the other party said, Li Huowang had a new layer of worry in his heart.

He hoped that the matter in Pi County would be big enough to attract Supervisor Tiansi.But he didn't want it to be big enough to put them in danger.

After Li Huowang came back to his senses again, the old Mai Ke had already left, and it was already dark.

Li Huowang shook his head, stood up and went to the creek by the field to wash up. "The more you think about it, the more chaotic it becomes. Forget it, go to that place first and see the actual situation before making plans."

The two wheat guests parted ways the next day. After all, the wheat in Pixian County was all harvested, and they were not on their way. They were going to go to the wheat fields in other places.

Time passed day by day, and I also met some other people on the same road. Li Huowang would always find a way to get information about Pi County from them.

It's a pity that these people either didn't know, or they said that there was a plague in Pi County, and they didn't get any useful information to persuade Li Huowang and others not to go.

To say that the only gratification on this road is that I didn't meet a horse bandit or robber on the road, and I don't know if it was the Qin of the bandits in Daliang.

In the end, in Li Huowang's uneasy mood, they finally arrived in Pi County.

"Is this Pi County?" Li Huowang stood on a hillside, looking at the square county below with his new eyes
Today is a cloudy day, and the whole sky is gray. Against the background of this sky, the whole Pixian County looks extraordinarily gloomy.

Seeing the appearance of this county, Li Huowang finally knew why he called this county Pi County.

Because the general appearance of this county is a character of horse, it is called Pi County.

"This place doesn't look peaceful at first glance, so please be more energetic." After Li Huowang said to the others, he walked towards the so-called Pi County.

When he first entered the county, Li Huowang obviously felt that something was wrong. Compared with the previous county, there were too few people here.

The road was deserted, and it looked extraordinarily deserted. Occasionally, some people walked past them in a hurry.

Li Huowang felt a lot of eyes looking at him, and these eyes were all shot from behind the window. Looking around, he could already imagine that many people were poking their buttocks, peeping at the foreigners like him.

At this moment, a woman with a round head in a hemp skirt who was holding a child walked towards her with a very haggard face.

As soon as she approached, she was obviously frightened by Li Huowang and others. She bit her lower lip and hugged the crying child tightly in her hands, and hurriedly walked along the eaves by the roadside.

When the woman was closest to him, Li Huowang closed his eyes slightly and sniffed for no reason.

"Aww." Mantou, with his red tongue sticking out, sat on the ground, pawing at Li Huowang's hem with his two front white claws.

Li Huowang patted the dog's head on the steamed bun with his hand.

"Did you smell it too? Yes, she smells of blood and rust."
