Peach Blossom Button

Chapter 74 Request

As soon as Tao Mo put on his clothes and ran out the door, he was taken aback.

In the not-so-wide courtyard, a group of women stood densely, like fishes huddled in a net, staring at the closed door, which was finally opened by Tao Mo. They all raised their heads, their dim eyes staring at the young man in black at the same time.

And the owner of this yard was standing by the gate with an angry face, arguing with an old woman.

"They came here to see me for treatment! It has nothing to do with the disappearance, why drag them into the water!"

In an instant, the old woman's eyes shot towards Tao Mo by the door like lightning, her cloudy eyes rolled, and then she turned her head and smiled at the poison doctor: "Since we have come through the white mist, we will naturally get along with here." There is a 'connection', how can you let it go so easily..." As she spoke, the old woman laughed a few times, like the sound of wood rubbing against each other.

Tao Mo looked at the old woman in bright clothes inexplicably. Although she didn't know what happened, she could feel the chill deeply from her thoughtful eyes.He hurriedly asked Tantai Ying beside him in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"What's the matter? It's clear at a glance." A clear voice came from behind, Bai Wangyan walked out of the house slowly with his snowy hair in his arms, cast his eyes on the women with gloomy expressions, shook his head and said, "It's still too late step."

"This...you mean we should leave early?" Tan Taiying tried to analyze Bai Wangyan's words.

Tao Mo quickly stretched out his hand to hold him: "Go back and lie down quickly, the poison has just been cured, in case..."

Bai Wangyan nodded, and he sighed, "Master Tang made the right decision, we should leave here earlier, but I didn't expect the people in the village to..."

"Ah! That young man has white hair. Could it be that he is..."

"Yes……"

Just when Bai Wangyan stepped out of the door with his clothes on, the women crowded outside the door saw the snow-like white hair, they all showed horrified expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and they yelled a very strange thing in unison. Vocabulary, as soon as the word was called out, it was scolded by the old woman.

It's just the local language, Tao Mo and the others are also confused.

Those women were scolded by the old woman in local dialect, and they didn't dare to speak out anymore, so they could only look at the beautiful young man with snow hair in fear with those muddy eyes, and retreated one after another, more like being squeezed in a fishing net and afraid of a harpoon of fish.

"Huh," Tan Taiying said strangely, "This group of people stood aggressively outside the door just now, as if they came to collect debts, but why are they so afraid of Mr. Bai?"

Bai Wangyan's eyes swept over the faces of those women, and finally collided with the eyes of the old woman. He furrowed his brows tightly, and then relaxed them again.

He smiled slightly at the old woman in colorful clothes.

"They, they think this young man is a Gu king..." The hoarse voice of the old woman came in slowly from outside the door, and what Tantaiying heard was even more confused. He and Tao Mo looked at each other, both Shaking his head in confusion, Bai Wangyan and Tang Lin's expressions changed.

"He is my junior brother's friend, and has nothing to do with the Gu King who has disappeared for many years," Tang Lin frowned, "Elder Lan, the three of them have nothing to do with that matter, let them leave quickly, and stop causing trouble!"

But the old woman just glanced at him sideways, and cast her eyes on the three of them again. She turned her crutches, and with the support of the woman next to her, she walked slowly towards the door.

"Grandma Lan!"

Suddenly, a young woman's voice came from outside the door.

The old woman turned her head slowly, but sighed, she looked at the rushing woman with some reproach: "What are you doing here?"

"I, I..." The young girl in Chinese clothes was Asha.At this moment, she was panting heavily, her chest heaving violently, she seemed to have come running in a hurry, trying to hold her breath, she said anxiously: "Don't embarrass Mr. Tantai and the others! How can others interfere with the affairs of our village? !"

"Asha?" Tantaiying murmured, "Is she here to rescue us?"

"Master Shaogu, this girl..." Bai Wangyan, who was standing behind, laughed softly, "It seems that she has a little thought for you."

"Mr. Bai, don't make fun of me!" Tan Taiying quickly waved her hands.But the white fox who had just regained some vitality touched his chin and showed a meaningful smile.

Tao Mo did not participate in their chatting, but stared at the old woman vigilantly, silently pressing his hand on the hilt of his sword.Even if he is such an old man in his dying years, he must raise his heart. If he dares to harm Bai Wangyan, he will definitely...

After hearing Asha's words, the old woman shook her head: "You don't understand, if you let them go, this village won't last long..."

While talking, the old woman cast her eyes on the women with increasingly dull expressions, sighed, moved with difficulty, and walked to the door step by step. She raised her head slightly, and looked at the woman standing by the door with a pair of cloudy eyes. However, although the eyes were cloudy, there was a sharp light shining from them, which could even pierce people instantly.

"The three are people from the Central Plains martial arts, right? I heard that the Central Plains martial arts place the most emphasis on chivalry, and all of them are heroic heroes. I wonder if the three of you can accept this old man's request? This request is related to the life and death of our entire village..."

A matter of life and death?

Tan Taiying and Tao Mo looked at each other for a moment, and said in unison: "Say it."

But Bai Wangyan saw the sudden change of attitude of these two people, but his face was extremely bad. He knew that there must be nothing good in it. For such an important matter, why did they only ask the three outsiders?Moreover, why are there only a group of women and no men in this village?Is it possible...

Seeing the attitude of the two people changed, the old woman's face softened a little, she coughed twice, and said in a dry bark-like voice: "You must have seen it when you came, there is a ghost fog in the forest, and the ghosts stay here Stayed in the fog. And there are not many people in our village, the young and strong have disappeared one after another, only us old and weak women and children are left, if this continues... the village may not last long."

"So?" Bai Wangyan asked coldly.

"I want us to help you find..." Before Tantaiying could say this, he was pinched hard by a hand. He was stunned by the pain, and turned his head, just in time to see Bai Wangyan with a sullen look on his face. His eyes suddenly stopped.

But the old woman immediately grasped Tantai Ying's words, and continued: "This young man is right, this old man just wants to ask a few of you for this matter. Find out the reason why the people in the village disappeared, and disperse the white mist... The old man begged a few people from the whole village!"

"Grandma Lan!" Asha said anxiously when she heard this, "This matter has nothing to do with them, if these people also... what should I do! I don't want to involve foreigners!"

The old woman stomped her crutches on the ground suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Then you will let the whole village wait to die!"

Asha suddenly panicked: "I, I didn't..."

"Grandma," Tao Mo said in a deep voice after taking a deep breath, "I agree to this matter."

When the old woman heard Tao Mo's answer, she was overjoyed. She saluted the calm young man in black and said, "Thank you, kind young man, you are our distinguished guests. If there is anything you need, just tell us and we will do our best to help you." Satisfy you..."

"Need?" Bai Wangyan sneered, "Is it a kind of respect for the distinguished guests to seal the door tightly? I really don't understand your rules."

The old woman's face darkened slightly, she turned her head and yelled some local words at the women, and the women immediately obediently left the courtyard.Seeing that the courtyard was suddenly empty, Bai Wangyan blinked and said with a smile: "Grandma, we are new here and we are not familiar with this place. Could you bring a local guide?"

"I'll do it." Asha took a step forward, but just as she finished speaking, she didn't hear Granny Lan's reply. She panicked and looked back cautiously.

"Okay," the old woman didn't refuse, she nodded, "Let Asha be your guide."

Granny Lan agreed so readily, but Asha was a little scared. She responded in a low voice, and then secretly glanced at Tantai Ying.Seeing her staring at him, Tan Taiying just raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, but in her heart she was thinking about what this guy Bai Wangyan was planning.

After successfully negotiating with Granny Nalan, the three of them watched the troublesome old woman leave, all of them secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

At this time, Tang Lin, who had stood outside the door without saying a word for a long time, strode in. He stared at Tao Mo condescendingly, but just shook his head: "Junior Brother, I'm sorry, I should have let you leave quickly last night. But I'm afraid of the white mist..."

"I didn't intend to leave," Tao Mo said with a frown, "Although I know that senior brother, you are afraid that we will get into trouble here, but we are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, besides...Mr. Bai's body has not yet recovered. "

Tang Lin's expression under the mask changed slightly, and he sighed: "Junior Brother, you really have changed over the years..."

Tao Mo frowned: "It's all in the rivers and lakes. It's just that this time it will drag Qingyun down again..."

"I'm fine!" Tantai Ying waved her hands hastily, "Which one of us is with whom, I'm also idle when I'm idle."

It's just that things happened weirdly, even Tantaiying could see the danger in it even if he was careless.And his thoughts were as dense as Bai Wangyan, and since Tao Mo agreed to this matter, his complexion has been extremely bad. He was originally pale from a serious illness, but now it is even more white like Dongxue.

"Miracle Doctor Tang," Bai Wangyan frowned, "There are some things you should tell us directly."

As soon as these words came out, the fox-faced poison doctor stopped talking immediately.
