I raised monsters in the Song Dynasty

"What are you thinking? Pay attention to the road." Lian Shuo saw Li Banxi bowed his head and said nothing, fearing that he would trip over the uneven road.

Li Banxi frowned, with a serious tone: "You said... Could it be that I really have the physique of absorbing monsters?"

Lian Shuo didn't expect him to ask such a question, and suddenly remembered that he had said something similar to him last time, and said with some guilt: "I deliberately teased you last time, don't take it seriously, you're an ordinary person, you're fine Why are you running to you? Besides, there are demon masters standing next to you, do they want to throw themselves into a trap?"

After hearing this, Li Banxi breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the traverser would have a special physique. If any big monsters appeared at that time, it would indeed bring a lot of trouble to the villagers.

But in the future, he will understand that he does have a monster-absorbing physique, especially the one next to him.

"Since it's tomorrow, let's do what we should do today!" Li Banxi started to walk home, the giant should wake up now, if he can't see himself for a long time, will he be anxious?

"Then what do you do on weekdays?" Lian Shuo followed behind him and asked him.

"Well..." If we talk about modern times, he usually draws sketches, cooks, raises cats and so on, but he can't do these things here. He has only been here for a few days, except for meeting two Monster, the only thing he has ever done is to chop wood and draw a portrait of Lian Shuo.

"Otherwise, I'll gather some firewood first! Then I will draw some portraits and sell them in the market together." Li Banxi plans to go to Zhongshan to cut firewood in the morning, then paint in the afternoon, and sell them in the market tomorrow. It is best if someone buys his paintings. If the paintings cannot be sold, they will sell the firewood, and they will never return.

"You work so hard every day?" Lian Shuo frowned and stared at Li Banxi's small body, which looked extremely thin, and felt that he would fall down when the wind blew.

"It's not..." Li Banxi thought to himself, I've only been chopping firewood for a day, and the giant took me to pick it up.

"Stop chopping firewood, let's paint!" Lian Shuo interrupted him, staring at his hands again, "How much firewood can you chop with such a thin skin and tender flesh? You paint, and if no one buys it, I will buy it." , I like your paintings anyway."

Li Banxi was speechless for a while, why did he feel being taken care of by this kid?

"Also, today, Aunt Lan said that you...you were about to die a few days ago, what's the matter?" Lian Shuo asked worriedly. He and Li Banxi are considered friends now, so it shouldn't be too abrupt to ask.

Li Banxi was obviously taken aback.

Seeing his reaction, Lian Shuo thought he didn't want to talk about it, so he said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. It's not good to always bring up the past."

Even though he said so, Lian Shuo still wanted to know about Li Banxi's previous experience. He couldn't help but lower his head, thinking that Li Banxi had chosen a noble person for him. Here, the family is destitute, the poor and the poor, and even their lives are picked up.

What happened?Let the half-grown boy in front of him have no relatives, and he is a delicate and expensive son, but he is doing rough work here to maintain food and clothing.

"Actually, I don't know too well," Li Banxi said suddenly. He has been keeping everything in his heart since he crossed over, and no one has talked to him. This time someone asked him on his own initiative. Apart from being overwhelmed, he was also a little happy, " When I wake up, I can’t remember everything, strange environment, strange people, but what can I do? I still have to live well.”

Lian Shuo was taken aback, how could this half-child live a more thorough and casual life than him?He wondered, "How old are you this year?"

"It's 25!" Li Banxi was talking about his age in modern times.

"Ah?" Lian Shuo asked in surprise, "Impossible, are you lying to me, according to your appearance, the maximum is eighteen, why is it twenty-five?"

Li Banxi ignored his words, just smiled and said: "You are not the first person to be deceived by my face, but your appearance is at most twenty, I am the one you are destined to be, and I am older than you, why don't you call me Give me a brother, so I can add chance and coincidence to your life."

"Brother! Brother!" The giant exclaimed excitedly when he saw Li Banxi came back. It woke up for a while, but it never saw Li Banxi. It was just when he was panicking that he came back.

Li Banxi agreed, and smiled at Lian Shuo who was still in a daze at the door: "Did you hear that? It's like a giant shouting."

With a dark face, Lian Shuo walked into the room and found a stool to sit down and meditate without saying a word.

Li Banxi was not idle either, he picked out a few half-blackened firewood with moderate hardness from the kitchen, laid out some white paper, and began to paint with Lian Shuo who was meditating.

But this monster catcher is really handsome, Li Banxi sighed while painting, if he can return to modern times in the future, he will definitely make a serial comic for Lian Shuo, and it will definitely be a hit.

But does this count as an infringement of other people's portrait rights?Li Banxi struggled.

Lian Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and asked him, "How is the painting?"

"Ah?" Li Banxi was inexplicably guilty and was taken aback, "It's okay. Would you like to come and have a look?"

Lian Shuo got up, stared at the painting for a long time before frowning: "Otherwise, don't sell the paintings, I'll buy them all, I like all these paintings."

Li Banxi smiled helplessly: "If you like it, I can give it to you. You don't need to buy it. The character in this painting is you. I should give you a certain salary, but now I have no money, so I should give this painting to you." You've secured it."

The giant watched from the side, and shouted: "Brother! I want a portrait too!" After speaking, he glanced at Lian Shuo, which made Li Banxi think of the concubine who was fighting for favor.

He gently scratched the moss on the top of the giant's head, and said: "The wooden brush is almost gone, I will help you draw in a few days."

The giant gave up and ran to the corner to catch bugs again.

Seeing his innocence, Li Banxi was both happy and envious, and asked Lian Shuo, "There are two kinds of people in this world..."

"Ok?"

Although his tone was gentle, it revealed a sense of loneliness, even Shuo saw that his mood was not right, so his voice softened.

"There are two kinds of people in this world. One is like me. After birth, I have parents to take care of me, and friends to play with. However, one day in the future, things will change suddenly, my parents will die, and my friends will leave. It seems that I am the only one living in this world. The other This species, like a giant, was originally formed by the illusion of heaven and earth, and does not understand feelings, cold and warm, so it will not have the troubles of the human world, and naturally cannot experience the family happiness that ordinary people can have."

Li Banxi's eyes were empty, saying these words, he was really tired these few days, he missed the past, his parents, his two cats, but he had nowhere to vent.

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Which of these two types of people is more pathetic?"

Unexpectedly, Lian Shuo stood up, walked up to him, pressed his shoulders, and met his eyes.

Li Banxi was completely caught in the bottomless eyes in front of him, how to describe those eyes?Clear and deep, bright and dark.

In short, Li Banxi suddenly began to feel that he had to re-examine this person, and he could no longer just regard him as a quack warlock with high martial arts skills and a foolish self-proclaimed monster catcher.

Lian Shuo's hands were strong, and Li Banxi could clearly feel the man's strength on his pressed shoulders. He was just about to move when he heard Lian Shuo speak.

"Neither of the two you mentioned is pathetic."

"Huh?" Li Banxi was stunned, and then Lian Shuo continued: "As you are, you have already experienced the care and love of your family, even if they are not around in the future, in other words, they will be gone one day. Sometimes you will still go on alone. When you are alone, those feelings are buried deep in the memory. When one day you are tired, tired, and tired, you take it out and have a look. Good memories. As for the giant, although it is a monster transformed from heaven and earth, it does not mean that it has no feelings."

"If you think about it carefully, if the giant has no feelings for you, it could cry so sadly when you were about to abandon it yesterday, because it has feelings for you, so it will have feelings such as sadness, joy, and joy."

Li Banxi was stunned, and laughed at himself: "It's also my short-sightedness, thinking that if I lose one or two relatives, I will lose everything, and I am self-righteous."

"You are self-righteous," Lian Shuo shook his head and sighed, "Why am I not?"

At this moment, Li Banxi felt that there must be a secret in this young man, so he stopped asking, everyone has a secret in their hearts, the secret is bottomless, whether it is humble or grand, but it can be rotten into mud, it is always the same. How each is handled.

What's more, he and Lian Shuo have only known each other for a day, so it's not good to delve too much into each other's affairs.

So after these words, the room was quiet for a while, and the two stopped talking, only the sound of the giant catching bugs remained.

After a while, Li Banxi finally said, "You can put down the firewood chopping, but you still have to go to the mountains."

"how?"

"Make a bed for you."

Lian Shuo turned his head and looked at the bed, which was not too big or too small, and only said, "OK."

The two got on the car together, Li Banxi took advantage of no one on the road to let the giant jump on his shoulders, and said to Lian Shuo: "Since you said that I am your nobleman, I will believe you. If I can really help you, it will be my blessing. If you can't help me, just treat it as an acquaintance. However, if I can make a friend like you when I am in trouble, it is considered that God has treated me well."

Hearing this, Lian Shuo said boldly as always: "Yes, it is really your blessing to have a friend like me. I have high martial arts skills, great strength, and I can catch monsters. I have a lot of money and I am handsome and handsome." I don't know what the master thinks about Mao Yixian's talent, but I think it's your destiny."

Li Banxi quickened his pace and ignored him, this man really opened up a dyeing workshop after he was really good-looking.

However, Lian Shuo can be considered clumsy when doing things. After spending the whole afternoon, the two finally made a decent bed. Although this bed looks rough and simple, it can still make do with sleeping people. It is better than two people. People squeezed into a small bed strong.

Both fell asleep that night.

On the second day, when Li Banxi just woke up, there was a magnified monkey face in front of him. The visual impact of the furry and wrinkled face was so great that he jumped out of bed immediately.

It took him a long time to recover before he realized that it was Xuan.

"Why, did you catch that monster?" Li Banxi was always thinking about the dry land in his heart, and the bet with Xuan Xuan yesterday made him guess the purpose of Xuan Xuan's coming here.

"Hey, isn't this natural?" Sui took out the right hand that had been placed behind her just now, and said to Li Banxi and Lian Shuo, "Get ready to entertain me with wine!"

Li Banxi ignored the second half of the sentence, and focused all his attention on the right hand of Xuanxuan. After seeing the so-called monster, he blurted out: "Isn't this the sunny baby?"

I saw a white doll on it, which looked similar to the modern sunny dolls, but was slightly different. The eyes were crescent-shaped, the mouth was also curved in a smile, the head was spherical, and the body was almost A piece of fabric that can be blown up by the wind.

"What sunny day doll?" Xuan Xun couldn't understand, and looked around at the doll in his hand, "This is Sao Qingniang."

"Sao Qingniang?" Li Banxi was puzzled, what kind of monster is this?

Xuan Xuan raised an eyebrow at Lian Shuo: "You should know, you kid! After all, he came from your master."

Lian Shuo was silent for a long time, and said a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, the master only gave me martial arts, and I usually meet some fierce monsters, but I have never seen such baby-like monsters."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xuan Xuan shook her head and laughed, "You are not good at learning! Your master should take you for another two years."

Lian Shuo felt ashamed in front of Li Banxi, so he was a little annoyed: "It is said that my master never catches such little monsters. He said that he only kills evil ones, and not only does he not catch those who do evil, but he also helps them."

"That's enough, that's enough," Xuan Xun stopped, "I'm just kidding you! Sao Qingniang is indeed uncommon, and it's understandable if you don't know about it."

"Then what exactly is Sao Qingniang?" Seeing that the doll hadn't moved for a long time, Li Banxi almost suspected that it was a toy bought from a small stall to fool herself.
