My messenger is a little fox
Chapter 8 Trapped in a den of thieves
"Ugh--"
After following Li Xiaomo in and out of Datong Commercial Bank countless times, looking back and forth for those who were traveling with him to inquire about the situation, Li Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He thinks he has a way to get rich, but he has to waste his time here for five buckets of rice. This is nothing more than an unsatisfactory life!
"Why are you sighing?" Li Xiaomo turned her head and looked at him.
"It just feels a bit boring!" Li Yu shrugged.
"Who told you not to learn well and owe so much money? If you don't want to be bored, pay off the debt first!" Li Xiaomo said with a glare.
"It's only two or three thousand gold coins. As long as you let me go, it won't take long for me to pay you back." Li Yu suddenly smiled slyly and made a flattering expression, "Hehe, how about sister Xiaomo let me go?" Leave, and when I make money, I will share three to five thousand with you..."
"Who is your sister Xiaomo?" Li Xiaomo snorted angrily, with contempt in his eyes: "Let you go? How do you make money? Are you allowed to continue to cheat? This girl doesn't want that kind of money!"
"Tell me, Miss Li, even if I do this boring work seriously every day, with two gold coins a month as a reward, can I repay this debt in my lifetime?" Li Yu also said a little angrily: "Two gold coins." Sixteen hundred gold coins! I can’t pay it back even if I don’t eat or drink for a hundred years!”
Li Xiaomo suddenly approached Li Yu, his eyes widened, and said angrily: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? I brought you to investigate this case just to help you pay off your debt as soon as possible?"
"what?"
Li Yu was dumbfounded. He really didn't understand what Li Xiaomo meant.
"Do you know that the bounty for this missing person case has increased to more than 1,500 gold coins? Once the case is solved, all participants will receive a share of the bounty!" Li Xiaomo poked Li Yu's chest with his finger, just shy of " The words "You don't know a good heart" were engraved there, and the cloud-patterned leopard cat in her arms stared at Li Yu with disgust.
"Bounty..." Li Yu really didn't know about this.
"Idiot! Such large-scale missing persons cases usually have generous bounties. This time Datong Trading Company has added a bounty of 500 gold coins... Sigh... What are you doing?" Li Xiaomo rolled his eyes at Li Yu. He wanted to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, but when he saw Li Yu hugging the little fox tightly in his arms, turned around and ran away, he was immediately at a loss.
"I'm going to investigate that first-level spiritual master. Let's investigate separately. It's faster..." Li Yu left a word and hurried out.
"..."
I have never seen such a cunning guy before. After a while, Li Xiaomo stomped his feet and snorted angrily: "He's just a money-hungry guy! Why should I help him?..."
Li Yu couldn't hear Li Xiaomo's anger and ran away for three to five miles in one breath. He didn't care about the strange looks from passers-by, just to solve the case as soon as possible. But he was not rushing to collect information about the first-level spiritual master, but because this case was part of the plot of the original novel, he was simply giving him money.
In total, he and Han Yan were also missing persons, but they were both alone and no one reported the case. Therefore, it was not until Han Yan went to visit Gu Qingyuan that the Shaojun Mountain human abduction was revealed.
And the most important thing is that the Shaojun Mountain bandits suffered heavy losses in Fengming Mountain. There were only three or five kittens left in the stronghold here. As Han Yan's opening battle, they were solved without much effort.
Although Li Yu is not as powerful as Han Yan, he can still detect the location of the thieves' den. When the time comes, it will be his credit for killing them in one fell swoop.
"Hehe, one thousand and five hundred gold coins... Ahri, I'll treat you to chicken after this is done, haha..." Li Yu smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
Li Yu remembered that the stronghold of Shaojun Mountain was located in a small mountain village more than 20 miles northeast of Qingyuan Town. It was very hidden, but knowing the general direction, he believed that he could still find it. After all, the 1,500 gold coins were heading towards him. wave.
It's just that reality always seems to like to slap people in the face, and Li Yu was beaten hard.
At this moment, his face was already red and he was panting.
The sun has already set in the west, and it won't be long before it hides among the mountains in the west. Throughout the afternoon, Li Yu made several large circles, but still could not find the small mountain village.
A small stream blocked the way ahead.
The stream was clear and gurgling. Li Yu and the little fox, who were already hungry and thirsty after running for a day, wanted to bury their heads in the stream.
"call--"
After drinking heavily, Li Yu sat down on the pebbles by the stream. The little fox was already lying on a stone like a dead dog.
Li Yu took a long breath and murmured with a rather frustrated expression: "It's really hard to find this poor village. Let's stop here today. Go back and find someone to ask for directions. Let's continue tomorrow..."
"Gugua——"
"Huh? What a big frog!"
Li Yu came back to his senses and opened his eyes to look. He saw a frog as big as a bowl lying on a big rock in the stream. It was green and green, and it was turning its eyes as if looking for small insects around it.
"Gu Gu Gu..." "Gu Gu Gu..."
Li Yu and Little Fox's stomachs growled at the same time. They were pulled out by Li Xiaomo early in the morning. They had nowhere to eat lunch. After running for another day, they were already hungry.
"Such a big frog must be able to produce a lot of meat, right?" Li Yu couldn't help but swallow, looked at the little fox who was staring at the fat toad and said: "Ari, our dinner depends on you... ....”
When Li Yu was encouraging the little fox to catch the frog, the frog suddenly jumped up, opened its big mouth and sprayed a large stream of black air at him and the little fox.
Li Yu felt groggy at that time. Before he completely lost consciousness, he caught a glimpse of two figures walking out of a nearby bush from the corner of his eye. He smiled as he walked: "Haha, another one! I saw this guy in the afternoon. I've been wandering around for a long time, and I'm probably lost. I look like I'm from a foreign country...ah! That fox has run away, hurry up and chase..."
"Hey - it hurts!"
Li Yu felt sore all over his body and groaned before opening his eyes drowsily.
It was dim and dark as if it was night in front of me. I was separated behind a row of fences. Outside was a spacious farmyard. A pile of charcoal fire was burning in the center of the yard, illuminating the entire yard. There are more than ten cages around, some containing people and some containing animals, and the sounds of sobbing and the whining of wild beasts are endless.
"Where is this?"
By the light of the fire, Li Yu was horrified to find that he was also locked in the same cage. The cage was cramped and small, no wonder he felt as if his whole body was falling apart.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his confused brain.
Scenes of the day and evening flashed through his mind, and Li Yu already knew where he was.
"I didn't expect that I would find the village in this way." Li Yu couldn't help laughing at himself. He was caught by the people from Shaojun Mountain and brought to the den of thieves.
The little fox was not nearby and must have run away, which reassured him a lot. He hoped that it would lead to rescue soon. Otherwise, according to the plot, it would still take two days for Han Yan to find this place, and he would probably turn into snake dung.
It would be a lie to say that they are not afraid. At this time, Wei Qing and the Green Feathered Snake are injured beasts, and they are doing whatever they can to recover as soon as possible.
The yard was dark and it was difficult to see the people in the distance. Fortunately, there were three cages holding the familiars, which meant that there were at least three spiritual masters at the scene, and the green-feathered snake would definitely eat the stronger one first.
"Hey, this kid is okay! He's not crying or making trouble." A lean man with a bowl-sized spider lying on his shoulder saw Li Yu wake up and came over with a mouth full of alcohol.
"Haha, he is indeed much better than those cowards!" Behind the thin man was a strong man with a steel knife on his waist, a wine bowl in his hand, and a big dog beside him, grinning.
"Cry, cry, cry! Why are you crying? Crying makes me upset!"
The lean man suddenly changed his face, waved his long whip, and slapped the people in the cage next to him with a grin. He didn't laugh until those people cried for their fathers and mothers, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, I am the boss here, and I will deal with anyone who dares to disobey. Jie Jie Jie..."
"Come on, come on! Pay attention, monkey. If you break the Green Feathered Snake, it won't be easy for you to come over and explain!"
Seeing that the lean man had not finished enjoying himself, the big man on the side quickly reminded him: "Let's go on drinking!"
The two were about to walk away when suddenly a big snake four to five feet long swam over.
The tall man was the first to spot the big snake. He quickly threw away his empty bowl and stood up, saying respectfully: "Your Excellency, Green Feathered Snake!"
The big snake didn't seem to be in a good condition. He simply nodded and turned his attention to the cages.
"Qing, Qing Feathered Snake is here! Take a look at these blood foods, I'm sure you'll be satisfied!" The monkey turned around, its ferocious face had long been replaced by a smiling face.
The green-feathered snake simply nodded to the monkey and then went back to choosing a cage.
Green-feathered snake!
This guy who urged me to kill him arrived one step ahead of the little fox!
Being swept by its faint snake pupils, Li Yu shivered, the hairs all over his body stood up, and his body shrank involuntarily.
Fortunately, there are three cages containing familiars, which means there are at least three spiritual masters at the scene. He alone is not conspicuous...
I saw the green-feathered snake choosing for a while, then pointed a snake head at a cage, and then waited quietly aside.
"Okay! Let me get you the blood food now!" The monkey responded hurriedly and stepped forward to open the cage.
The man in the cage seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong with him. He hugged the fence tightly and cried and begged with tears streaming down his face, "No... no... help..."
"Tch! It's not up to you!" The monkey smiled contemptuously, patted the big spider on the shoulder and said, "Come on, man! Hehe!"
I saw a red light flash in the big spider's eyes, and it suddenly jumped to the ground. When it landed, it was the size of a washbasin, and it shot a silver light at the man in the cage.
The cry for help of the man in the cage suddenly stopped, and the hand holding the fence dropped weakly. He was then dragged out of the cage by a web of the big spider, and was thrown in front of the green-feathered snake.
The green-feathered snake looked at the person in front of him. The green light on its body surged, and it instantly transformed into a twenty-meter-long giant python with a pair of wings. However, most of its scales had fallen off, and the feathers on its wings were even scattered.
The terrifying aura emanated, making the surrounding environment feel oppressive. Even the two night watch bandits were too nervous to breathe.
The Green-Feathered Snake seemed to be performing a solemn ceremony. Runes with simple shapes appeared from time to time in its huge body, and finally formed a huge circular array hanging above its head.
The circular array slowly circulated in mid-air, illuminating the entire courtyard.
Suddenly, a red light appeared in the snake's eyes, which looked very strange in the night. The huge snake's mouth swallowed the person in front of it whole.
Frightened sounds were heard everywhere, and the yard was once again filled with whimpering sounds.
Looking at a big living person squirming little by little in the giant snake's belly, Li Yu felt his hands and feet were cold, his stomach was rolling, and he retched. He subconsciously leaned over to vomit, but his head hit the pillar around him heavily.
A stream of gastric juice dripped from the corner of his mouth. Li Yu leaned his head against the fence and knelt in the cage. Fortunately, the severe pain relieved his nausea and stopped his desire to vomit.
Then a dog-like familiar was dragged in front of the green-feathered snake. It was the familiar of the spiritual master who was devoured.
Due to the backlash from the contract of the death of the spiritual master and the long period of imprisonment, the spirit was already dying, and was finally swallowed by the green-feathered snake.
The whole yard became silent, and those who were sobbing before wanted to sew their mouths with needles, because everyone could see that this big snake still had more to say.
The green-feathered snake raised its head and spat out a snake message. A pair of faint snake eyes hovered above everyone's heads, making them want to shrink into a ball.
Li Yu felt that the snake eyes had obviously stayed on his body for a while, and his clothes were soaked with sweat in an instant. His intestines were almost turning green now, he was so full that he wanted to swallow the bounty all by himself!
But in the end, the Green Feathered Snake chose a pair of spiritual masters and spirit messengers to swallow. After digesting it for a while, when the injuries on his body had recovered a lot, he spread his wings and slowly flew away.
