Underworld Character Simulator [Liao Zhai]
Chapter 27
The sun in the sky kept setting.The bright red sunset glow spreads all over the earth.
In the main hall, the sandalwood is rich and misty.
Old monk Huiyuan was kneeling on the futon, reciting scriptures devoutly.Behind them are Yun Niang and others who are also kneeling.
"...Rereading the scriptures and reciting the Buddha's name, such a good fate can make the dead leave all evil ways, and all demons and gods will retreat.【Note 1】..."
The huge Buddha statue is majestic and solemn, and it seems to look at everyone who kneels before them with compassion.
And the delirious souls stood blankly by the side, listening to the sound of chanting sutras over and over again.
There are many people in this hall, but only old monk Huiyuan is the real living person.
His complexion was a little pale. He had suffered internal injuries in the painting, and after he came out, he worked non-stop to save the souls of the dead, and even stayed up all night. Now he has not closed his eyes for three days and two nights. What's more, he is still an old monk with white eyebrows.
But this is his choice. He has experienced too many things in the past few days, and his mind is in chaos. Bring a little peace.
But the three-day transcendence is finally coming to an end.
When the old monk Huiyuan, Yunniang and others finished reading the scriptures, the dazed souls seemed to have clearer eyes. Outside the hall, there were two more black shadows waiting at some point, and they could not see their appearance clearly.
The old monk Huiyuan knew at a glance that this was an evil in the underworld. Although it was not a familiar evil like black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, it still scared Yun Niang and other little demons from showing their air.
The ghosts floated out of the hall, but they just saluted the ghost, and then continued to float forward.
The two servants did not take them away immediately, but followed silently.
The old monk Huiyuan stood up, his weak body swayed a bit due to the fatigue of the past few days, but he still couldn't help following.
The ghosts drifted to the backyard.
In the yard, a beautiful girl was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, she seemed to be taken aback when she saw so many wronged souls, and when those wronged souls came to her, their souls were damaged, they couldn't speak, and they just walked silently Great gift.
The beautiful girl seemed to understand something, she stood up and returned the salute, and then the ghosts bowed in the same direction.Now that their sanity has recovered a little bit, they naturally know that it is thanks to those two that they can see the light of day again.
After thanking them, the ghosts took the initiative to leave with the two servants. They walked straight to the courtyard wall, passed through it, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Probably because the sun was too bright today, faintly, there seemed to be tiny golden lights flickering in the yard.
The old monk Huiyuan in the distance trembled.
"Gong... merit..."
He seemed to have finally realized something, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Wrong! Wrong!"
He said that people in the world are ignorant and need Buddha to come to cross them.
As everyone knows, he is blinded by a leaf, but he doesn't know that he is the biggest idiot!
He was foolishly thinking of himself very high, foolishly looking down on the world, foolishly blind and blind, and never knew that his master had long been paranoid, so much so that he allowed so many lives to be buried in the master's hand in the painting wall, and still I thought I was crossing people!
He is now sixty-three, and for more than 60 years, what kind of Buddha has he cultivated?Who is crossing? !
To cross others, cross oneself first.Old monk Huiyuan heard these words when he was young, but he didn't want to truly understand the meaning after this year!
Gu Yunchu hadn't recovered from being thanked by a group of Ah Piao, when he heard the old monk Huiyuan crying and laughing in the distance, and his nose was about to blow out.
Gu Yunchu:? ? ?
In the early morning, Gu Yunchu, who had packed his small baggage, came out of the temple, holding a hemp rope in his hand, followed by three robbers whose hands were tied with the hemp rope.
It can be said that this is all of Gu Yunchu's property.
Li An had recuperated for two days, but he was recovering, and followed Gu Yunchu with a bamboo box on his pole.The two still decided to go to nearby towns as originally planned before making plans.
Afterwards, Yunniang and others also came out.They are leaving too. Although they really don't want to be separated from Gu Yunchu, they also know that Gu Yunchu is going to walk in the world, but these little demons can't hide themselves, and it is not beautiful to follow Gu Yunchu all the way.For these little demons, the best way is to temporarily retreat to the mountains and forests.
After all, there are still people living in the Dongshan Ridge where the temple is located, and they will retreat to the western mountains and forests a little further away.
According to what was said before, Li An took out Erqing who had already woken up from the bamboo box.He touched Erqing again and again with red eyes, and the feeling of reluctance almost overflowed from his eyes, but in the end, he still handed Erqing to Yunniang.
"Erqing will ask Yunniang to take care of you in the future."
Erqing seemed to understand something, shaking his head and wanting to go back to Li An's arms.Looking at the appearance of a man and a snake, Xiao Ru beside him sighed.
"You are not willing to part with it, and it is also not willing to part with you, why bother to separate?"
Li Anqiang held back his reluctance.
"It has been born with spirituality. Follow you into the mountains and practice hard, and you will have a lot of achievements in the future. You can't just live in this bamboo box like me for the rest of your life, can you?"
Then he looked at Er Qing who was still struggling.
"Er Qing, it's not good for me or you, do you understand?"
Erqing didn't move.
Xiaoqing opened the bamboo box and slowly crawled towards Yunniang.Yunniang squatted down and put Erqing on the ground. The two green snakes entangled each other and frolicked for a long time, and finally parted reluctantly. Xiaoqing returned to the bamboo box, and Erqing let Yunniang pick her up.
Yunniang looked at Gu Yunchu reluctantly, took a deep breath, and saluted. .
"The parting is imminent, Miss Wan Wangyun solemnly, if we need it in the future, we will be here, but please tell Miss Yun, I will wait until death."
All the other goddesses saluted together.
"But please tell me, I will never hesitate to die."
Gu Yunchu didn't refuse, and said with a bright smile.
"I remember! But even if there is nothing wrong, I will come to play with you when I have time. And you, old monk, although you have not studied Buddhism, you are good at making tea. Wait until I come next time, Bring out the best tea to entertain me."
The old monk Huiyuan standing inside the door said with a smile.
"I don't have any good tea, I only have a bowl of rough tea here, whether I like it or not."
Gu Yunchu snorted.
"The old monk who is so searched. Li An, let's go. Go down the mountain and drink some good tea!"
After a while, the old monk Huiyuan watched them leave in two ways, sang the Buddha's name, and closed the gate.There was a little regret on the smiling face.
After saving those wronged souls that day, he suddenly felt that he might have less than half a year to live.I don't know if I can wait until the other party comes to my temple to drink another bowl of rough tea.
"Fresh buns! Hot buns!"
"Please come inside the guest officer!"
"Come and have a look!"
On the street, there are people coming and going, the sound of hawking keeps coming and going, and the lively fireworks are blowing in your face.
It's just that whether it's a peddler or a passer-by, when they are doing their own things, they can't help but sneak a glance to the side.There, there was a beautiful girl in a moon-white dress looking around and looking around, her temperament seemed to be very lively.
It's nothing at all, even if she is indeed very beautiful, but not all people in the world are obsessed with sex, or there are more normal people, how can they look at a beautiful girl in the sky?
They were looking at the three big men following behind the beautiful girl.
Those three big men were terrible. They looked sluggish, but with their big physiques and round waists, and their faces full of flesh, they looked like menacing men.
But the hands of these three people were bound by the same hemp rope, just like the grasshoppers on that thread. The strangest thing was that the other end of the hemp rope was actually held by that beautiful girl.
When she leaves, the three men behind will leave; if she stops, the three men behind will stop.This is really a rare thing, but people can't help but sneak a peek.
This beautiful girl is Gu Yunchu.But at this moment, there was no sign of Li An by her side.
Because they met several familiar fellow villagers of Li An on the way.Li An is weak now, so naturally he can't sell food, and has to go home to recuperate for a while. It just so happens that those fellow villagers are going home together. It can be said that it is a coincidence, so Li An bid farewell to Gu Yunchu and went home with his fellow villagers. up.
Gu Yunchu brought three robbers into the government house, and when he came out, he had a total of 130 taels of silver in his arms and sleeves, plus [-] pennies.
Feel the heavy feeling in the arms.The corners of Gu Yunchu's mouth couldn't stop rising.
[I didn't expect a robber to be worth 50 taels, so why should I be so anxious?I feel that the 100 taels of gold that I owe you is not a lot, I can change it by grabbing a few more.Oh, take a closer look, these silver ingots are quite heavy. 】
Although the currency exchange rate on the market will fluctuate, in the system, 100 taels of gold equals 1000 taels of silver.
The younger sister of the system thought it was right, and then very loyally helped Gu Yunchu to reduce the burden.Then happily took the 130 taels of silver back into his pocket.
Gu Yunchu, who has not warmed up to the money he got: ...
However, the 130 taels had to be returned to the system, anyway, there were still [-] pennies available for use.Gu Yunchu went straight to the roadside stall with the huge sum of money he had just acquired.I ordered a bowl of bean curd and a few steamed buns.
The business of this family is good, and there are many diners sitting at the small tables next to them. They are eating and chatting with their parents, but they somehow ended up talking about a recent anecdote.
"Brother He, your father-in-law's home is in Qi County, tell me quickly, there was a torrential rain in Qi County a few days ago, did a dragon really fall from the sky?"
"I've heard about this too, but what other people say is outrageous. We know you, brother He, and we believe you. Is there such a thing?"
The man called Brother He nodded.
"It's true. But most of what you hear is embellishment."
He spoke in detail.
It turned out that a few days ago, there was a lot of heavy rain in Qixian County, not to mention lightning and thunder in the sky, and there was a faint sound of dragon chant. Then, a dragon in the dark cloud suddenly fell into the cloud layer and fell to the ground.It smashed a deep hole in the grass by the river. Fortunately, there were no people around, otherwise such a big dragon would fall on the street, and many people would be killed.
As for how big?
The county magistrate can't cover it with eighty reed mats! 【Note 2】
The dragon that fell was dying, and his eyes were gone.When the tail swung, it smashed the ground and clods flew, and the ferocious appearance scared the children to cry, and the adults were also frightened and at a loss.Just when they didn't know what to do with the dragon, several red chains fell from the sky, binding the dragon and dragging it back above the dark clouds.
Gu Yunchu, who was drinking tofu curd with relish, stopped at some point.
Such miraculous events are a rare pastime in this era, and the person at the next table was not enough to listen to it once, so he begged the man surnamed He to repeat it.
Gu Yunchu listened behind them, and his mind quickly flashed to see what happened in this world.Eyes slightly widened.
Painted skins, painted walls, and... "Dragon has no eyes."
Gu Yunchu murmured.
Even though she doesn't remember very clearly about Strange Tales from Liaozhai, which she watched when she was a child, but she still remembers clearly the three popular themes of Liaozhai that were adapted into film and television dramas.
So is this the world of Liaozhai?
Wait, Gu Yunchu thought of something, couldn't help but turn around and talk to him.
"Excuse me, Mr. He, is the dragon you are talking about a green dragon?"
The man surnamed He was taken aback when he saw a beautiful girl talking, then nodded.
"It's a green dragon."
Gu Yunchu thanked him and sat back.After counting the time, it can be confirmed that the green dragon must be the green dragon Lu Ling who was hunted down by Ao Yan. The story of Long Wumu has come out, so there is no need to talk about Lu Ling's fate.
It's just that I don't know what's going on with Ao Yan, that glass ball...ah no, that water-purifying glass bead is still with her.
Probably because he had money and had enough confidence, Gu Yunchu started to wander the streets with a lot of money in his arms.
When passing by a bridge hole, she took a bite of the sugar cake in her hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
[Thinking about that difficult time back then, I really miss it! 】
System Sister: ...It's only been less than half a month, so there's no need to miss the word, right?
At this time, a scolding sound came from not far away.
"Where is the beggar woman? Go, go."
Then there was the sound of splashing water.
Gu Yunchu turned his head and saw that in a small alley not far away, a disheveled beggar was sitting with his head bowed by the door of a house, covered in water.
A man in the door was chasing her away with a vicious face.He also held an empty wooden barrel in his hand.
You don't need to look to know that the man obviously couldn't get rid of it verbally, so he picked up a bucket of water and splashed it at the beggar woman.I poured the beggar woman all over her head.
Just being treated like this, the beggar woman seemed like a silent stone, still sitting there blankly.
When the man found out that the beggar woman hadn't left, he raised his hand with such a ferocious expression that he was about to hit her with a wooden barrel.
"Hey, where is the deaf man, get out of here, understand!"
Seeing that the heavy wooden barrel was about to hit the head of the beggar woman, a hand suddenly appeared and squeezed the man's wrist firmly.
Gu Yunchu, who appeared in the alley at some time with a cold face, pushed him so hard that he staggered two steps back.
"What are you doing? Bullying the lonely old man in broad daylight?"
Although dirty beggars sit by people's doors, some people do mind.But now it's the time of the cold spring, the cold well water pours people's heads, and when the cold wind blows, the strong young man will catch the cold.
In this day and age, wind and cold can kill people, especially a beggar who can't keep up with three meals, she may not even have the money to buy medicine.
Forget it, this man still wants to do something to others?
After being pushed away, the man turned his head in displeasure, but he didn't want to see a beautiful face with a beautiful face, and the anger on his face suddenly turned into a lewd smile.
"Hey, where did this little lady come from? This is because I have read too many story books, and I want to do justice to a beggar woman?"
While speaking, he still didn't forget to look around with his triangular eyes, making sure that there were only the three of them in the alley. The man's eyes were more lustful, and he stretched out a hand to touch Gu Yunchu's face.
"In that case, I won't bully her anymore, how about you play with me?"
"Playing? Okay!"
Gu Yunchu showed a smile, and grabbed the wrist that the man stretched out.Twist suddenly!
"I'm the best at playing with people."
The grass on the grave of the last man who talked to her like this has started to sprout!
Immediately afterwards, faint screams came from the alley.
Soon, the man with a bruised nose and a swollen face was lying on the ground, screaming.
Gu Yunchu snorted coldly, and then looked at the beggar woman sitting next to her. This person has always looked like this since just now, which is really strange.
She walked over, knelt down and looked at the beggar woman.
"Are you okay? Is it cold? How about I take you to the inn to take a shower? Otherwise, be careful of the wind and cold."
But the beggar woman still didn't respond to her words.
Is it really deaf?
Gu Yunchu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the drooping eyes of the beggar woman.
"Can you hear me?"
Gu Yunchu's actions seemed to have finally attracted the attention of the beggar woman. She raised her head blankly, her face was dirty, and her eyes were cloudy and lifeless looking at the beautiful girl in front of her.
As soon as she raised her head, Gu Yunchu froze in place before she could be overjoyed.
"Big... aunt?"
The younger sister of the system is puzzled: [What aunt?Do you have relatives in this world? 】
Gu Yunchu immediately said: [You forgot, I was treated as a refugee before I entered the Chen Mansion, and an aunt who sold steamed buns gave me steamed buns to eat. 】
When the system sister remembered it, she was also shocked.
[Then...how did she become like this? 】
Gu Yunchu naturally wanted to ask this question too.
Although the aunt two months ago had a vicissitudes of life, she smiled kindly and friendly, and her voice of selling steamed buns was full of vigor. Gu Yunchu still remembered that he was still thinking of paying back the money for the steamed buns when he made money in the Chen Mansion.
It's just that she didn't expect that many things happened on the way, which made her ignore it for a while, and she didn't expect that when she saw the aunt again, the other party turned out to be like this.Auntie's hearing is of course fine, but if you look closely at those dull eyes, it seems... spiritually...
Gu Yunchu's heart was extremely sour, and when he recalled what happened just now, his heart became inexplicably angry again, and he looked fiercely at the man not far away with a pair of almond eyes.
The man who was secretly trying to go home froze: ...he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
A moment later, the sound of a man crying bitterly came from the alley again.
After beating the man until he fled home and cried under the quilt, Gu Yunchu cautiously came to squat down in front of the aunt again.She wanted to pull him up, it was freezing cold, she wanted to take him to take a hot bath.
The tone is very gentle, I am afraid that if I am too tough, I will scare the aunt at the moment.
"Auntie, do you remember me? Two months ago, you gave me steamed buns, and you are soaking wet now. May I take you to take a hot bath, or you will get sick."
"Ma'am? Ma'am? Can you hear me?"
The aunt who was pulled up finally responded.
"Steamed bun?"
Gu Yunchu nodded quickly.
"Yes, two months ago, I fled to your town. You were selling steamed buns. When you saw me, you gave me steamed buns. Do you remember me?"
"Mantou... Mantou..."
The aunt looked at Gu Yunchu and muttered, her cloudy eyes became brighter and brighter, and she seemed to be clearer.Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, he choked up.
"It's you, I finally see you again! Fairy Zhaoxia!"
"It's me, I'm... eh? Fairy Zhaoxia?"
Gu Yunchu who heard the first half of the sentence was about to nod happily, but when he heard the excited address of the second half of the old lady, he was suddenly stunned.
Who is Fairy Zhaoxia?
Is there anyone else who fled to the aunt like her, and was sponsored by the aunt to eat steamed buns?
She has been called Fairy Zhaoxia these days, so she is in such a miserable situation like her?
While Gu Yunchu was in a daze, she had been in a daze for the past few days, and now the aunt who finally woke up had her legs go limp, and she knelt on the ground and wailed loudly at Gu Yunchu.
"I beg the fairy to save my grandchildren, my Min'er and Hui'er are still so young, they are still so young, why did this happen to me, if you want to arrest me, the old woman, I beg the fairy Help me find Min'er and Hui'er. As long as I can save those two children, it's okay to sacrifice my old life!"
Gu Yunchu was startled, and hurriedly reached out to pull him up, explaining that he was not a fairy.But the aunt seemed to have identified her, insisting that she was some kind of Fairy Zhaoxia.
How is she a fairy?
Is she like a fairy when she chops people with a chainsaw, or is she like a fairy when she swings a dozen legs and plays Hot Wheels?
A fairy can turn a stone into gold by touching it, what about her?She owes everything 100 taels of gold.Even the beggars on the roadside are richer than her!
Seeing that the aunt was wet, she was already old, and she was crying miserably with her back bent, Gu Yunchu could only say helplessly.
"I really don't know what a fairy is or isn't, but don't cry, aunt. If you have any difficulties, I will definitely not sit idly by."
Anyway, she finally persuaded the aunt to suppress her crying, and also made the aunt change her address.
Aunt Cui said with red eyes.
"My second son's house is near here, and I would like to invite Xian... Miss Gu, come with me."
Aunt Cui, who looked sober, did not look like she was dumb before, and her somewhat hunched body eagerly led Gu Yunchu to her home, not willing to delay on the road for a moment.
Although Gu Yunchu was afraid that she would fall if she walked too fast, but seeing her appearance, he still quickened his pace.
The two turned left and right and came to a small farmyard.
A woman was feeding chickens, and when she saw Aunt Cui coming in, she was surprised and delighted.
"Mother! Mother, you are back!"
The woman hurried over, and then found that Aunt Cui was not only dirty, but also covered in water.The original surprise was gone, and the sockets of her eyes turned red immediately.
"Tell me about you, where have you been running around again, and how did you get into this situation. Min'er and Hui'er are already... If you keep getting lost again, how will we live!"
Thinking of her two children, the woman wiped her tears with her sleeve.Choked up and changed the subject
"Mother, it's good if you come back, you go in and drink some hot tea, and I'll boil water for you to take a bath, so as not to catch the cold."
She hurriedly dragged Aunt Cui into the house, but Aunt Cui missed Gu Yunchu outside the door.Greeted earnestly.
"Miss Gu, come in quickly. Come here."
Gu Yunchu responded, and then followed.
"This is my second daughter-in-law, surnamed Zhang, you can call her A Liu."
Aunt Cui quickly introduced.
"This is Miss Gu."
Zhang Liu looked about 30 years old.
Of course, Gu Yunchu couldn't call Ah Liu directly, so he just smiled.
"My sister-in-law is older than me, so I'll call her sister-in-law Zhang."
The woman named Zhang Liu guessed that it was the girl who sent her old mother back, so she smiled in a friendly manner.
"Girl Gu."
Then Zhang Liu brought Gu Yunchu into the house, served hot tea, and asked her to wait apologetically, then hurriedly took his mother-in-law to the back room, took off the wet clothes first, and then brought hot water to help her wash up. water bath.
After soaking in hot water, Aunt Cui's complexion turned pale from the cold was considered much better.
"What about Erhe?"
She was talking about her second son Cui Ha.
Hearing this, Zhang Liu complained with red eyes.
"You ran away last time, and we were all panicked. Erhe went to look for Big Brother and the others. They have been looking for you for the past two days. You won't be back until noon. You must never run away again."
"Don't run away, don't run away."
Aunt Cui shook her head.
"With the help of Fairy, Min'er and Hui'er will definitely be found soon. I won't go anywhere, just stay at home and guard them!"
There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes that had been lifeless before.It was as if he had seen his grandchildren return to his knees.
She lost herself in her thoughts, but Zhang Liu was frightened.
Thinking of her mother-in-law's state of sobriety and madness since she lost her child that day, the woman secretly wiped her tears.Scoop water to pour hot water on Aunt Cui's back.
"Mom, don't think about it anymore. Erhe and I will still have children. You should take medicine and recuperate properly. In the future... you will be fine in the future."
Aunt Cui turned her head and spoke seriously.
"No, I'm not hysterical this time, I really found a fairy. It's Miss Gu outside!"
Speaking of this, she became excited again, and told how she met Gu Yunchu after she fell ill, and swore to be frank.
"She's the Fairy Zhaoxia that I've been telling you all the time. Unlike those Taoist priests who cheat money, this is a real living fairy. She will definitely help us save Min'er and Hui'er!"
Although the two towns are separated by a mountain, there are some rumors.
Zhang Liu even heard the story of fairies beheading evil spirits no less than ten times from her mother-in-law, her eyes widened involuntarily.The gourd scoop in his hand immediately fell into the basin.
"really?"
Aunt Cui nodded vigorously. "Of course it's true! Am I going to lie to you about this? Fairy has already promised and will definitely help us! Min'er and Hui'er are saved!"
"It's saved, it's saved."
Zhang Liu murmured a few times, and suddenly couldn't help crying anymore.
The day her two children were lost, she was heartbroken, but when she found out that her mother-in-law was in a bad condition, she didn't dare to cry.The mother-in-law lost her child, and she lost her mind. She was afraid that her crying would become the last straw to kill her mother-in-law.
But now, after hearing the three words, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Aunt Cui was heartbroken by her crying. Thinking of her two poor grandchildren, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help crying.
Only after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had cleaned up properly did they come out of the back room.
Afterwards, Gu Yunchu finally learned the whole situation from Aunt Cui.
Aunt Cui has three sons, the eldest son and the youngest son live in the next town, which is the town where Gu Yunchu first went, and the second son lives in Qizhen after marrying Zhang Liu.
Aunt Cui is not only kind-hearted, but also good at teaching her sons. The three sons she taught are all good. When she gets older, the three sons are really ready to support her in the old age, so that she can enjoy a good life and don't have to get up early and late to sell steamed buns.
She couldn't stay idle, so she wanted to take care of her grandson. The eldest son's grandson was grown up and didn't need her to take care of her. The younger son was not married yet, so she went to the second son in the next town.Help the second daughter-in-law Zhang Liu take care of the child.The Min'er and Hui'er she was talking about were twins of the second son's family, who had just turned three years old this year.It was the time of the commotion, and Zhang Liu really couldn't do it alone.
And because Zhang Liu's stomach didn't move for the first three years of marriage, and her mother-in-law, Aunt Cui, didn't urge her much, she treated Zhang Liu like a half-daughter, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good.Get along very well.
The family had a very happy life, but not long ago, when Mrs. Cui was playing with her two children at the door, something went wrong.
An old man passing by came to beg for food.
Aunt Cui is quite cautious with her children. If it was normal, she would keep the children in sight even if she went back to the house to bring food to others. But that day, for some reason, when the old man patted her on the shoulder and said something, she seemed to be dazed. Normally, he went straight to the kitchen to get food in a daze, and when he came out again, the two children had long since disappeared in the yard.
"... At that time, I didn't know why, but I just stood at the door in a daze until Ah Liu came back and asked me, and then I came back to my senses and found that the child was missing."
Thinking of the scene at that time, Aunt Cui couldn't help crying again.She wiped away her old tears and wanted to continue, but she couldn't make a sound.
Zhang Liu on the side hurriedly continued.
"As soon as we came back and asked about it, we immediately thought that my mother might have met that hateful Pat Huazi. I thought it was not too late, so I rushed to the left and right neighbors to help find him, but we didn't catch him. Later, we inquired Someone saw the old man leave the town that day, but there was no sign of my family, Miner Huier, around him. Ask later, just like that muddy cow entering the sea..."
Zhang Liuhong's eyes were red, and she was about to kneel down facing Gu Yunchu.
"Xian...Miss Gu, please also save my two poor children. I am willing to give all my family wealth!"
Aunt Cui followed suit and was about to kneel down.
Gu Yunchu hurriedly pulled him up.
"Whether you kneel to me or not, I will never sit idly by if I can help. As for thanking..."
She smiled.
"Didn't I already eat the steamed buns back then. I don't need all your wealth. The most important thing now is for you to explain to me clearly the appearance of the old man. It is the best to be able to draw it."
Aunt Cui nodded immediately, and quickly found a piece of yellowed paper from the box and chest. It’s just that ordinary farmers can’t read characters, so pens and ink are naturally not always available. Aunt Cui found charcoal sticks from the kitchen, and then began to paint.
The system sister hesitated.
[It is not easy to find someone in your world, let alone in this era of blocked news.I'm afraid it will be difficult. 】
Gu Yunchu naturally understood the difficulty of this matter, but he just smiled and said.
[Then there is no way, after all, cannibals have short mouths. 】
But soon, when she saw the portrait given by Aunt Cui, she couldn't laugh anymore.
I saw a rough bust drawn on the yellowed paper.
It looks like a pig from a distance, but looks like a pig's head up close. It's a horizontal batch. Could this be a person?
Obviously Aunt Cui is an excellent soul painter.
The younger sister of the system was silent for a while, expressing her sincerity.
[If the person who stole the child really looks like this, I suggest you look for it in Shan Hai Jing. 】
Gu Yunchu looked at the pig's face that seemed to be taken from the book of mountains and seas, and pretended not to hear the speech made by the younger sister of the system, and silently averted his eyes.
"Cough... Auntie, please tell me about the appearance of that person."
At the same time, in the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake.
Shrimp soldiers and crabs will guard the door and corridors. In the main hall, a mighty and domineering red dragon is hovering on the thick carved pillars.A book is being held in the dragon's claws, and a pair of majestic and cold dragon eyes are staring at the book seriously.
Clam girl carefully put the fresh dim sum on the low table, then walked away quickly, not daring to glance over the side the whole time.The whole hall was quiet and oppressive.
But soon, a dissatisfied voice came, breaking the silence in the room.
"Ao Yan, what do you think you're going to do these days? When I was a child, I asked you to read books and you said it would be better to raise pearls. Now it's all right. I lost the water-purifying glass beads. Instead of looking for them, you just stay here all day looking at broken books! I figured it out, you're clearly trying to piss me off, you!"
A middle-aged man with elegant appearance and rich clothes walked in. It was Dongting Dragon Lord.
As soon as he came in, he stared at his brother Qiantang Longjun with hatred.I used to think that this guy was punished by heaven, but after all these years, he finally became more sensible.But he didn't want to still have such a self-willed temperament, which made him wish to pry open his brother's brain to see what was inside!
"Brother's words are wrong."
Chilong Aoyan raised his head and spoke seriously.
"My love and respect for my brother is clear in my heart. How could I want to piss off my brother? Don't say that again."
Dongting Dragon Lord's complexion softened a lot.
"Even if you speak well. Since you still think of me as your elder brother, you should go and apologize to the Muhe Dragon King right now."
Before he finished speaking, Ao Yan said decisively.
"Why should I apologize? No!"
Dongting Longjun laughed angrily.
"You killed his youngest son, why do you still ask to apologize?"
Ao Yan snorted coldly.
"Not only did Lu Ling ravage the Muhe little demon, but he also murdered mortals. He hooked up the evil python to steal the treasures from our treasury, and even dared to touch the water-purifying glass beads that my mother gave me. He deserved his death! Didn't that old Muhe... Did the dragon come to look for you, brother? You don’t have to worry about this matter, if the Muhe old dragon dares to make trouble, let him come to me, and I will send their father and son to reunite with one sword!"
As soon as Ao Yan finished speaking, Dongting Dragon Lord was so angry that he picked up the snack plate on the table and threw it at Chilong.
"I'm going to kill you! You killed someone's son, and you are not allowed to say a few words! Let you cultivate your body, is this how you cultivate your body?!"
The red dragon who was hit on the forehead by the plate bowed his head and said sincerely.
"Brother, I think you actually need to cultivate yourself. It's not good to be so irritable."
Dongting Dragon Lord gritted his teeth: "How dare you say, who did this?!"
Think back then, wasn't he also a handsome and personable Junlong?
In the end, I didn't expect that sooner or later, I didn't expect a fragrant and soft sister, but I was looking forward to such a younger brother who was either causing trouble or on the way!
He followed behind and wiped this guy's ass every day, making him less than a thousand years old, and he was still a handsome young dragon, but he was already haggard to his current appearance!
Thinking of something later, Dongting Dragon Lord snorted coldly.
"Anyway, it's fine if you don't apologize. Anyway, Lu Ling deserves to die. That old dragon is bullying and afraid of being tough. He doesn't dare to fart at me, but you must go and get me back the water-cleaning glass beads now! You It's not that I don't know what my body looks like!"
Seeing his elder brother who was completely disrespectful in front of him, Chilong slowly turned a page of the book.
"I see, I'll go after I finish this book."
Dongting Dragon Lord was suspicious, and flew to Chilong's head.
"What kind of book is so beautiful?"
It turned out that the book my younger brother had been holding was the Classic of Mountains and Seas.The scribbled and weird illustrations are very eye-catching.
The strange beasts in the Book of Mountains and Seas are almost impossible to find now, anyway, Dongting Dragon Lord has never seen a few, and I only have two impressions of the strange beasts in this book.
One, ugly.
Two, two, very ugly.
"It's not that the book is good-looking. It's that I was in the world before
In the main hall, the sandalwood is rich and misty.
Old monk Huiyuan was kneeling on the futon, reciting scriptures devoutly.Behind them are Yun Niang and others who are also kneeling.
"...Rereading the scriptures and reciting the Buddha's name, such a good fate can make the dead leave all evil ways, and all demons and gods will retreat.【Note 1】..."
The huge Buddha statue is majestic and solemn, and it seems to look at everyone who kneels before them with compassion.
And the delirious souls stood blankly by the side, listening to the sound of chanting sutras over and over again.
There are many people in this hall, but only old monk Huiyuan is the real living person.
His complexion was a little pale. He had suffered internal injuries in the painting, and after he came out, he worked non-stop to save the souls of the dead, and even stayed up all night. Now he has not closed his eyes for three days and two nights. What's more, he is still an old monk with white eyebrows.
But this is his choice. He has experienced too many things in the past few days, and his mind is in chaos. Bring a little peace.
But the three-day transcendence is finally coming to an end.
When the old monk Huiyuan, Yunniang and others finished reading the scriptures, the dazed souls seemed to have clearer eyes. Outside the hall, there were two more black shadows waiting at some point, and they could not see their appearance clearly.
The old monk Huiyuan knew at a glance that this was an evil in the underworld. Although it was not a familiar evil like black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, it still scared Yun Niang and other little demons from showing their air.
The ghosts floated out of the hall, but they just saluted the ghost, and then continued to float forward.
The two servants did not take them away immediately, but followed silently.
The old monk Huiyuan stood up, his weak body swayed a bit due to the fatigue of the past few days, but he still couldn't help following.
The ghosts drifted to the backyard.
In the yard, a beautiful girl was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, she seemed to be taken aback when she saw so many wronged souls, and when those wronged souls came to her, their souls were damaged, they couldn't speak, and they just walked silently Great gift.
The beautiful girl seemed to understand something, she stood up and returned the salute, and then the ghosts bowed in the same direction.Now that their sanity has recovered a little bit, they naturally know that it is thanks to those two that they can see the light of day again.
After thanking them, the ghosts took the initiative to leave with the two servants. They walked straight to the courtyard wall, passed through it, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Probably because the sun was too bright today, faintly, there seemed to be tiny golden lights flickering in the yard.
The old monk Huiyuan in the distance trembled.
"Gong... merit..."
He seemed to have finally realized something, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Wrong! Wrong!"
He said that people in the world are ignorant and need Buddha to come to cross them.
As everyone knows, he is blinded by a leaf, but he doesn't know that he is the biggest idiot!
He was foolishly thinking of himself very high, foolishly looking down on the world, foolishly blind and blind, and never knew that his master had long been paranoid, so much so that he allowed so many lives to be buried in the master's hand in the painting wall, and still I thought I was crossing people!
He is now sixty-three, and for more than 60 years, what kind of Buddha has he cultivated?Who is crossing? !
To cross others, cross oneself first.Old monk Huiyuan heard these words when he was young, but he didn't want to truly understand the meaning after this year!
Gu Yunchu hadn't recovered from being thanked by a group of Ah Piao, when he heard the old monk Huiyuan crying and laughing in the distance, and his nose was about to blow out.
Gu Yunchu:? ? ?
In the early morning, Gu Yunchu, who had packed his small baggage, came out of the temple, holding a hemp rope in his hand, followed by three robbers whose hands were tied with the hemp rope.
It can be said that this is all of Gu Yunchu's property.
Li An had recuperated for two days, but he was recovering, and followed Gu Yunchu with a bamboo box on his pole.The two still decided to go to nearby towns as originally planned before making plans.
Afterwards, Yunniang and others also came out.They are leaving too. Although they really don't want to be separated from Gu Yunchu, they also know that Gu Yunchu is going to walk in the world, but these little demons can't hide themselves, and it is not beautiful to follow Gu Yunchu all the way.For these little demons, the best way is to temporarily retreat to the mountains and forests.
After all, there are still people living in the Dongshan Ridge where the temple is located, and they will retreat to the western mountains and forests a little further away.
According to what was said before, Li An took out Erqing who had already woken up from the bamboo box.He touched Erqing again and again with red eyes, and the feeling of reluctance almost overflowed from his eyes, but in the end, he still handed Erqing to Yunniang.
"Erqing will ask Yunniang to take care of you in the future."
Erqing seemed to understand something, shaking his head and wanting to go back to Li An's arms.Looking at the appearance of a man and a snake, Xiao Ru beside him sighed.
"You are not willing to part with it, and it is also not willing to part with you, why bother to separate?"
Li Anqiang held back his reluctance.
"It has been born with spirituality. Follow you into the mountains and practice hard, and you will have a lot of achievements in the future. You can't just live in this bamboo box like me for the rest of your life, can you?"
Then he looked at Er Qing who was still struggling.
"Er Qing, it's not good for me or you, do you understand?"
Erqing didn't move.
Xiaoqing opened the bamboo box and slowly crawled towards Yunniang.Yunniang squatted down and put Erqing on the ground. The two green snakes entangled each other and frolicked for a long time, and finally parted reluctantly. Xiaoqing returned to the bamboo box, and Erqing let Yunniang pick her up.
Yunniang looked at Gu Yunchu reluctantly, took a deep breath, and saluted. .
"The parting is imminent, Miss Wan Wangyun solemnly, if we need it in the future, we will be here, but please tell Miss Yun, I will wait until death."
All the other goddesses saluted together.
"But please tell me, I will never hesitate to die."
Gu Yunchu didn't refuse, and said with a bright smile.
"I remember! But even if there is nothing wrong, I will come to play with you when I have time. And you, old monk, although you have not studied Buddhism, you are good at making tea. Wait until I come next time, Bring out the best tea to entertain me."
The old monk Huiyuan standing inside the door said with a smile.
"I don't have any good tea, I only have a bowl of rough tea here, whether I like it or not."
Gu Yunchu snorted.
"The old monk who is so searched. Li An, let's go. Go down the mountain and drink some good tea!"
After a while, the old monk Huiyuan watched them leave in two ways, sang the Buddha's name, and closed the gate.There was a little regret on the smiling face.
After saving those wronged souls that day, he suddenly felt that he might have less than half a year to live.I don't know if I can wait until the other party comes to my temple to drink another bowl of rough tea.
"Fresh buns! Hot buns!"
"Please come inside the guest officer!"
"Come and have a look!"
On the street, there are people coming and going, the sound of hawking keeps coming and going, and the lively fireworks are blowing in your face.
It's just that whether it's a peddler or a passer-by, when they are doing their own things, they can't help but sneak a glance to the side.There, there was a beautiful girl in a moon-white dress looking around and looking around, her temperament seemed to be very lively.
It's nothing at all, even if she is indeed very beautiful, but not all people in the world are obsessed with sex, or there are more normal people, how can they look at a beautiful girl in the sky?
They were looking at the three big men following behind the beautiful girl.
Those three big men were terrible. They looked sluggish, but with their big physiques and round waists, and their faces full of flesh, they looked like menacing men.
But the hands of these three people were bound by the same hemp rope, just like the grasshoppers on that thread. The strangest thing was that the other end of the hemp rope was actually held by that beautiful girl.
When she leaves, the three men behind will leave; if she stops, the three men behind will stop.This is really a rare thing, but people can't help but sneak a peek.
This beautiful girl is Gu Yunchu.But at this moment, there was no sign of Li An by her side.
Because they met several familiar fellow villagers of Li An on the way.Li An is weak now, so naturally he can't sell food, and has to go home to recuperate for a while. It just so happens that those fellow villagers are going home together. It can be said that it is a coincidence, so Li An bid farewell to Gu Yunchu and went home with his fellow villagers. up.
Gu Yunchu brought three robbers into the government house, and when he came out, he had a total of 130 taels of silver in his arms and sleeves, plus [-] pennies.
Feel the heavy feeling in the arms.The corners of Gu Yunchu's mouth couldn't stop rising.
[I didn't expect a robber to be worth 50 taels, so why should I be so anxious?I feel that the 100 taels of gold that I owe you is not a lot, I can change it by grabbing a few more.Oh, take a closer look, these silver ingots are quite heavy. 】
Although the currency exchange rate on the market will fluctuate, in the system, 100 taels of gold equals 1000 taels of silver.
The younger sister of the system thought it was right, and then very loyally helped Gu Yunchu to reduce the burden.Then happily took the 130 taels of silver back into his pocket.
Gu Yunchu, who has not warmed up to the money he got: ...
However, the 130 taels had to be returned to the system, anyway, there were still [-] pennies available for use.Gu Yunchu went straight to the roadside stall with the huge sum of money he had just acquired.I ordered a bowl of bean curd and a few steamed buns.
The business of this family is good, and there are many diners sitting at the small tables next to them. They are eating and chatting with their parents, but they somehow ended up talking about a recent anecdote.
"Brother He, your father-in-law's home is in Qi County, tell me quickly, there was a torrential rain in Qi County a few days ago, did a dragon really fall from the sky?"
"I've heard about this too, but what other people say is outrageous. We know you, brother He, and we believe you. Is there such a thing?"
The man called Brother He nodded.
"It's true. But most of what you hear is embellishment."
He spoke in detail.
It turned out that a few days ago, there was a lot of heavy rain in Qixian County, not to mention lightning and thunder in the sky, and there was a faint sound of dragon chant. Then, a dragon in the dark cloud suddenly fell into the cloud layer and fell to the ground.It smashed a deep hole in the grass by the river. Fortunately, there were no people around, otherwise such a big dragon would fall on the street, and many people would be killed.
As for how big?
The county magistrate can't cover it with eighty reed mats! 【Note 2】
The dragon that fell was dying, and his eyes were gone.When the tail swung, it smashed the ground and clods flew, and the ferocious appearance scared the children to cry, and the adults were also frightened and at a loss.Just when they didn't know what to do with the dragon, several red chains fell from the sky, binding the dragon and dragging it back above the dark clouds.
Gu Yunchu, who was drinking tofu curd with relish, stopped at some point.
Such miraculous events are a rare pastime in this era, and the person at the next table was not enough to listen to it once, so he begged the man surnamed He to repeat it.
Gu Yunchu listened behind them, and his mind quickly flashed to see what happened in this world.Eyes slightly widened.
Painted skins, painted walls, and... "Dragon has no eyes."
Gu Yunchu murmured.
Even though she doesn't remember very clearly about Strange Tales from Liaozhai, which she watched when she was a child, but she still remembers clearly the three popular themes of Liaozhai that were adapted into film and television dramas.
So is this the world of Liaozhai?
Wait, Gu Yunchu thought of something, couldn't help but turn around and talk to him.
"Excuse me, Mr. He, is the dragon you are talking about a green dragon?"
The man surnamed He was taken aback when he saw a beautiful girl talking, then nodded.
"It's a green dragon."
Gu Yunchu thanked him and sat back.After counting the time, it can be confirmed that the green dragon must be the green dragon Lu Ling who was hunted down by Ao Yan. The story of Long Wumu has come out, so there is no need to talk about Lu Ling's fate.
It's just that I don't know what's going on with Ao Yan, that glass ball...ah no, that water-purifying glass bead is still with her.
Probably because he had money and had enough confidence, Gu Yunchu started to wander the streets with a lot of money in his arms.
When passing by a bridge hole, she took a bite of the sugar cake in her hand and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
[Thinking about that difficult time back then, I really miss it! 】
System Sister: ...It's only been less than half a month, so there's no need to miss the word, right?
At this time, a scolding sound came from not far away.
"Where is the beggar woman? Go, go."
Then there was the sound of splashing water.
Gu Yunchu turned his head and saw that in a small alley not far away, a disheveled beggar was sitting with his head bowed by the door of a house, covered in water.
A man in the door was chasing her away with a vicious face.He also held an empty wooden barrel in his hand.
You don't need to look to know that the man obviously couldn't get rid of it verbally, so he picked up a bucket of water and splashed it at the beggar woman.I poured the beggar woman all over her head.
Just being treated like this, the beggar woman seemed like a silent stone, still sitting there blankly.
When the man found out that the beggar woman hadn't left, he raised his hand with such a ferocious expression that he was about to hit her with a wooden barrel.
"Hey, where is the deaf man, get out of here, understand!"
Seeing that the heavy wooden barrel was about to hit the head of the beggar woman, a hand suddenly appeared and squeezed the man's wrist firmly.
Gu Yunchu, who appeared in the alley at some time with a cold face, pushed him so hard that he staggered two steps back.
"What are you doing? Bullying the lonely old man in broad daylight?"
Although dirty beggars sit by people's doors, some people do mind.But now it's the time of the cold spring, the cold well water pours people's heads, and when the cold wind blows, the strong young man will catch the cold.
In this day and age, wind and cold can kill people, especially a beggar who can't keep up with three meals, she may not even have the money to buy medicine.
Forget it, this man still wants to do something to others?
After being pushed away, the man turned his head in displeasure, but he didn't want to see a beautiful face with a beautiful face, and the anger on his face suddenly turned into a lewd smile.
"Hey, where did this little lady come from? This is because I have read too many story books, and I want to do justice to a beggar woman?"
While speaking, he still didn't forget to look around with his triangular eyes, making sure that there were only the three of them in the alley. The man's eyes were more lustful, and he stretched out a hand to touch Gu Yunchu's face.
"In that case, I won't bully her anymore, how about you play with me?"
"Playing? Okay!"
Gu Yunchu showed a smile, and grabbed the wrist that the man stretched out.Twist suddenly!
"I'm the best at playing with people."
The grass on the grave of the last man who talked to her like this has started to sprout!
Immediately afterwards, faint screams came from the alley.
Soon, the man with a bruised nose and a swollen face was lying on the ground, screaming.
Gu Yunchu snorted coldly, and then looked at the beggar woman sitting next to her. This person has always looked like this since just now, which is really strange.
She walked over, knelt down and looked at the beggar woman.
"Are you okay? Is it cold? How about I take you to the inn to take a shower? Otherwise, be careful of the wind and cold."
But the beggar woman still didn't respond to her words.
Is it really deaf?
Gu Yunchu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the drooping eyes of the beggar woman.
"Can you hear me?"
Gu Yunchu's actions seemed to have finally attracted the attention of the beggar woman. She raised her head blankly, her face was dirty, and her eyes were cloudy and lifeless looking at the beautiful girl in front of her.
As soon as she raised her head, Gu Yunchu froze in place before she could be overjoyed.
"Big... aunt?"
The younger sister of the system is puzzled: [What aunt?Do you have relatives in this world? 】
Gu Yunchu immediately said: [You forgot, I was treated as a refugee before I entered the Chen Mansion, and an aunt who sold steamed buns gave me steamed buns to eat. 】
When the system sister remembered it, she was also shocked.
[Then...how did she become like this? 】
Gu Yunchu naturally wanted to ask this question too.
Although the aunt two months ago had a vicissitudes of life, she smiled kindly and friendly, and her voice of selling steamed buns was full of vigor. Gu Yunchu still remembered that he was still thinking of paying back the money for the steamed buns when he made money in the Chen Mansion.
It's just that she didn't expect that many things happened on the way, which made her ignore it for a while, and she didn't expect that when she saw the aunt again, the other party turned out to be like this.Auntie's hearing is of course fine, but if you look closely at those dull eyes, it seems... spiritually...
Gu Yunchu's heart was extremely sour, and when he recalled what happened just now, his heart became inexplicably angry again, and he looked fiercely at the man not far away with a pair of almond eyes.
The man who was secretly trying to go home froze: ...he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
A moment later, the sound of a man crying bitterly came from the alley again.
After beating the man until he fled home and cried under the quilt, Gu Yunchu cautiously came to squat down in front of the aunt again.She wanted to pull him up, it was freezing cold, she wanted to take him to take a hot bath.
The tone is very gentle, I am afraid that if I am too tough, I will scare the aunt at the moment.
"Auntie, do you remember me? Two months ago, you gave me steamed buns, and you are soaking wet now. May I take you to take a hot bath, or you will get sick."
"Ma'am? Ma'am? Can you hear me?"
The aunt who was pulled up finally responded.
"Steamed bun?"
Gu Yunchu nodded quickly.
"Yes, two months ago, I fled to your town. You were selling steamed buns. When you saw me, you gave me steamed buns. Do you remember me?"
"Mantou... Mantou..."
The aunt looked at Gu Yunchu and muttered, her cloudy eyes became brighter and brighter, and she seemed to be clearer.Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, he choked up.
"It's you, I finally see you again! Fairy Zhaoxia!"
"It's me, I'm... eh? Fairy Zhaoxia?"
Gu Yunchu who heard the first half of the sentence was about to nod happily, but when he heard the excited address of the second half of the old lady, he was suddenly stunned.
Who is Fairy Zhaoxia?
Is there anyone else who fled to the aunt like her, and was sponsored by the aunt to eat steamed buns?
She has been called Fairy Zhaoxia these days, so she is in such a miserable situation like her?
While Gu Yunchu was in a daze, she had been in a daze for the past few days, and now the aunt who finally woke up had her legs go limp, and she knelt on the ground and wailed loudly at Gu Yunchu.
"I beg the fairy to save my grandchildren, my Min'er and Hui'er are still so young, they are still so young, why did this happen to me, if you want to arrest me, the old woman, I beg the fairy Help me find Min'er and Hui'er. As long as I can save those two children, it's okay to sacrifice my old life!"
Gu Yunchu was startled, and hurriedly reached out to pull him up, explaining that he was not a fairy.But the aunt seemed to have identified her, insisting that she was some kind of Fairy Zhaoxia.
How is she a fairy?
Is she like a fairy when she chops people with a chainsaw, or is she like a fairy when she swings a dozen legs and plays Hot Wheels?
A fairy can turn a stone into gold by touching it, what about her?She owes everything 100 taels of gold.Even the beggars on the roadside are richer than her!
Seeing that the aunt was wet, she was already old, and she was crying miserably with her back bent, Gu Yunchu could only say helplessly.
"I really don't know what a fairy is or isn't, but don't cry, aunt. If you have any difficulties, I will definitely not sit idly by."
Anyway, she finally persuaded the aunt to suppress her crying, and also made the aunt change her address.
Aunt Cui said with red eyes.
"My second son's house is near here, and I would like to invite Xian... Miss Gu, come with me."
Aunt Cui, who looked sober, did not look like she was dumb before, and her somewhat hunched body eagerly led Gu Yunchu to her home, not willing to delay on the road for a moment.
Although Gu Yunchu was afraid that she would fall if she walked too fast, but seeing her appearance, he still quickened his pace.
The two turned left and right and came to a small farmyard.
A woman was feeding chickens, and when she saw Aunt Cui coming in, she was surprised and delighted.
"Mother! Mother, you are back!"
The woman hurried over, and then found that Aunt Cui was not only dirty, but also covered in water.The original surprise was gone, and the sockets of her eyes turned red immediately.
"Tell me about you, where have you been running around again, and how did you get into this situation. Min'er and Hui'er are already... If you keep getting lost again, how will we live!"
Thinking of her two children, the woman wiped her tears with her sleeve.Choked up and changed the subject
"Mother, it's good if you come back, you go in and drink some hot tea, and I'll boil water for you to take a bath, so as not to catch the cold."
She hurriedly dragged Aunt Cui into the house, but Aunt Cui missed Gu Yunchu outside the door.Greeted earnestly.
"Miss Gu, come in quickly. Come here."
Gu Yunchu responded, and then followed.
"This is my second daughter-in-law, surnamed Zhang, you can call her A Liu."
Aunt Cui quickly introduced.
"This is Miss Gu."
Zhang Liu looked about 30 years old.
Of course, Gu Yunchu couldn't call Ah Liu directly, so he just smiled.
"My sister-in-law is older than me, so I'll call her sister-in-law Zhang."
The woman named Zhang Liu guessed that it was the girl who sent her old mother back, so she smiled in a friendly manner.
"Girl Gu."
Then Zhang Liu brought Gu Yunchu into the house, served hot tea, and asked her to wait apologetically, then hurriedly took his mother-in-law to the back room, took off the wet clothes first, and then brought hot water to help her wash up. water bath.
After soaking in hot water, Aunt Cui's complexion turned pale from the cold was considered much better.
"What about Erhe?"
She was talking about her second son Cui Ha.
Hearing this, Zhang Liu complained with red eyes.
"You ran away last time, and we were all panicked. Erhe went to look for Big Brother and the others. They have been looking for you for the past two days. You won't be back until noon. You must never run away again."
"Don't run away, don't run away."
Aunt Cui shook her head.
"With the help of Fairy, Min'er and Hui'er will definitely be found soon. I won't go anywhere, just stay at home and guard them!"
There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes that had been lifeless before.It was as if he had seen his grandchildren return to his knees.
She lost herself in her thoughts, but Zhang Liu was frightened.
Thinking of her mother-in-law's state of sobriety and madness since she lost her child that day, the woman secretly wiped her tears.Scoop water to pour hot water on Aunt Cui's back.
"Mom, don't think about it anymore. Erhe and I will still have children. You should take medicine and recuperate properly. In the future... you will be fine in the future."
Aunt Cui turned her head and spoke seriously.
"No, I'm not hysterical this time, I really found a fairy. It's Miss Gu outside!"
Speaking of this, she became excited again, and told how she met Gu Yunchu after she fell ill, and swore to be frank.
"She's the Fairy Zhaoxia that I've been telling you all the time. Unlike those Taoist priests who cheat money, this is a real living fairy. She will definitely help us save Min'er and Hui'er!"
Although the two towns are separated by a mountain, there are some rumors.
Zhang Liu even heard the story of fairies beheading evil spirits no less than ten times from her mother-in-law, her eyes widened involuntarily.The gourd scoop in his hand immediately fell into the basin.
"really?"
Aunt Cui nodded vigorously. "Of course it's true! Am I going to lie to you about this? Fairy has already promised and will definitely help us! Min'er and Hui'er are saved!"
"It's saved, it's saved."
Zhang Liu murmured a few times, and suddenly couldn't help crying anymore.
The day her two children were lost, she was heartbroken, but when she found out that her mother-in-law was in a bad condition, she didn't dare to cry.The mother-in-law lost her child, and she lost her mind. She was afraid that her crying would become the last straw to kill her mother-in-law.
But now, after hearing the three words, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Aunt Cui was heartbroken by her crying. Thinking of her two poor grandchildren, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help crying.
Only after the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had cleaned up properly did they come out of the back room.
Afterwards, Gu Yunchu finally learned the whole situation from Aunt Cui.
Aunt Cui has three sons, the eldest son and the youngest son live in the next town, which is the town where Gu Yunchu first went, and the second son lives in Qizhen after marrying Zhang Liu.
Aunt Cui is not only kind-hearted, but also good at teaching her sons. The three sons she taught are all good. When she gets older, the three sons are really ready to support her in the old age, so that she can enjoy a good life and don't have to get up early and late to sell steamed buns.
She couldn't stay idle, so she wanted to take care of her grandson. The eldest son's grandson was grown up and didn't need her to take care of her. The younger son was not married yet, so she went to the second son in the next town.Help the second daughter-in-law Zhang Liu take care of the child.The Min'er and Hui'er she was talking about were twins of the second son's family, who had just turned three years old this year.It was the time of the commotion, and Zhang Liu really couldn't do it alone.
And because Zhang Liu's stomach didn't move for the first three years of marriage, and her mother-in-law, Aunt Cui, didn't urge her much, she treated Zhang Liu like a half-daughter, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good.Get along very well.
The family had a very happy life, but not long ago, when Mrs. Cui was playing with her two children at the door, something went wrong.
An old man passing by came to beg for food.
Aunt Cui is quite cautious with her children. If it was normal, she would keep the children in sight even if she went back to the house to bring food to others. But that day, for some reason, when the old man patted her on the shoulder and said something, she seemed to be dazed. Normally, he went straight to the kitchen to get food in a daze, and when he came out again, the two children had long since disappeared in the yard.
"... At that time, I didn't know why, but I just stood at the door in a daze until Ah Liu came back and asked me, and then I came back to my senses and found that the child was missing."
Thinking of the scene at that time, Aunt Cui couldn't help crying again.She wiped away her old tears and wanted to continue, but she couldn't make a sound.
Zhang Liu on the side hurriedly continued.
"As soon as we came back and asked about it, we immediately thought that my mother might have met that hateful Pat Huazi. I thought it was not too late, so I rushed to the left and right neighbors to help find him, but we didn't catch him. Later, we inquired Someone saw the old man leave the town that day, but there was no sign of my family, Miner Huier, around him. Ask later, just like that muddy cow entering the sea..."
Zhang Liuhong's eyes were red, and she was about to kneel down facing Gu Yunchu.
"Xian...Miss Gu, please also save my two poor children. I am willing to give all my family wealth!"
Aunt Cui followed suit and was about to kneel down.
Gu Yunchu hurriedly pulled him up.
"Whether you kneel to me or not, I will never sit idly by if I can help. As for thanking..."
She smiled.
"Didn't I already eat the steamed buns back then. I don't need all your wealth. The most important thing now is for you to explain to me clearly the appearance of the old man. It is the best to be able to draw it."
Aunt Cui nodded immediately, and quickly found a piece of yellowed paper from the box and chest. It’s just that ordinary farmers can’t read characters, so pens and ink are naturally not always available. Aunt Cui found charcoal sticks from the kitchen, and then began to paint.
The system sister hesitated.
[It is not easy to find someone in your world, let alone in this era of blocked news.I'm afraid it will be difficult. 】
Gu Yunchu naturally understood the difficulty of this matter, but he just smiled and said.
[Then there is no way, after all, cannibals have short mouths. 】
But soon, when she saw the portrait given by Aunt Cui, she couldn't laugh anymore.
I saw a rough bust drawn on the yellowed paper.
It looks like a pig from a distance, but looks like a pig's head up close. It's a horizontal batch. Could this be a person?
Obviously Aunt Cui is an excellent soul painter.
The younger sister of the system was silent for a while, expressing her sincerity.
[If the person who stole the child really looks like this, I suggest you look for it in Shan Hai Jing. 】
Gu Yunchu looked at the pig's face that seemed to be taken from the book of mountains and seas, and pretended not to hear the speech made by the younger sister of the system, and silently averted his eyes.
"Cough... Auntie, please tell me about the appearance of that person."
At the same time, in the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake.
Shrimp soldiers and crabs will guard the door and corridors. In the main hall, a mighty and domineering red dragon is hovering on the thick carved pillars.A book is being held in the dragon's claws, and a pair of majestic and cold dragon eyes are staring at the book seriously.
Clam girl carefully put the fresh dim sum on the low table, then walked away quickly, not daring to glance over the side the whole time.The whole hall was quiet and oppressive.
But soon, a dissatisfied voice came, breaking the silence in the room.
"Ao Yan, what do you think you're going to do these days? When I was a child, I asked you to read books and you said it would be better to raise pearls. Now it's all right. I lost the water-purifying glass beads. Instead of looking for them, you just stay here all day looking at broken books! I figured it out, you're clearly trying to piss me off, you!"
A middle-aged man with elegant appearance and rich clothes walked in. It was Dongting Dragon Lord.
As soon as he came in, he stared at his brother Qiantang Longjun with hatred.I used to think that this guy was punished by heaven, but after all these years, he finally became more sensible.But he didn't want to still have such a self-willed temperament, which made him wish to pry open his brother's brain to see what was inside!
"Brother's words are wrong."
Chilong Aoyan raised his head and spoke seriously.
"My love and respect for my brother is clear in my heart. How could I want to piss off my brother? Don't say that again."
Dongting Dragon Lord's complexion softened a lot.
"Even if you speak well. Since you still think of me as your elder brother, you should go and apologize to the Muhe Dragon King right now."
Before he finished speaking, Ao Yan said decisively.
"Why should I apologize? No!"
Dongting Longjun laughed angrily.
"You killed his youngest son, why do you still ask to apologize?"
Ao Yan snorted coldly.
"Not only did Lu Ling ravage the Muhe little demon, but he also murdered mortals. He hooked up the evil python to steal the treasures from our treasury, and even dared to touch the water-purifying glass beads that my mother gave me. He deserved his death! Didn't that old Muhe... Did the dragon come to look for you, brother? You don’t have to worry about this matter, if the Muhe old dragon dares to make trouble, let him come to me, and I will send their father and son to reunite with one sword!"
As soon as Ao Yan finished speaking, Dongting Dragon Lord was so angry that he picked up the snack plate on the table and threw it at Chilong.
"I'm going to kill you! You killed someone's son, and you are not allowed to say a few words! Let you cultivate your body, is this how you cultivate your body?!"
The red dragon who was hit on the forehead by the plate bowed his head and said sincerely.
"Brother, I think you actually need to cultivate yourself. It's not good to be so irritable."
Dongting Dragon Lord gritted his teeth: "How dare you say, who did this?!"
Think back then, wasn't he also a handsome and personable Junlong?
In the end, I didn't expect that sooner or later, I didn't expect a fragrant and soft sister, but I was looking forward to such a younger brother who was either causing trouble or on the way!
He followed behind and wiped this guy's ass every day, making him less than a thousand years old, and he was still a handsome young dragon, but he was already haggard to his current appearance!
Thinking of something later, Dongting Dragon Lord snorted coldly.
"Anyway, it's fine if you don't apologize. Anyway, Lu Ling deserves to die. That old dragon is bullying and afraid of being tough. He doesn't dare to fart at me, but you must go and get me back the water-cleaning glass beads now! You It's not that I don't know what my body looks like!"
Seeing his elder brother who was completely disrespectful in front of him, Chilong slowly turned a page of the book.
"I see, I'll go after I finish this book."
Dongting Dragon Lord was suspicious, and flew to Chilong's head.
"What kind of book is so beautiful?"
It turned out that the book my younger brother had been holding was the Classic of Mountains and Seas.The scribbled and weird illustrations are very eye-catching.
The strange beasts in the Book of Mountains and Seas are almost impossible to find now, anyway, Dongting Dragon Lord has never seen a few, and I only have two impressions of the strange beasts in this book.
One, ugly.
Two, two, very ugly.
"It's not that the book is good-looking. It's that I was in the world before
