Chapter 235: Strength is respected
Zhang Xiaoqiang put Jiao Shiyun off his back, and followed the old man and his wife into the old house with a mud wall.
"Young man, girl, take a sip of tea first!" the old lady brought out a worn-out clay pot containing a jar of tartary buckwheat tea.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jiao Shiyun drank several cups in a row, and the bitter bitter buckwheat tea was particularly sweet in their mouths.
"Are you here to explore, no one has been here for several years......" The old lady went into the kitchen to prepare food for Zhang Xiaoqiang, the old man asked.
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded.
Explore?
That's a good excuse!
He can't say that he came to kill people, and it is impossible to tell the old man the shocking secret that there is a hidden 'sect' in the back mountain, so as not to make the old man hack (frightened).
"Hey, you young people, you like to take risks, this is almost to the top of Allure Mountain, it's still very dangerous, there are jackals, tigers and leopards......" The old man sighed and said.
Then, the old man asked Taizu if he was in good health.
"Poof!" Zhang Xiaoqiang was convinced.
He also asked how Taizu was doing.
Where is it now that Taizu is still in the era of rule?
This old man has never been down the mountain in his life, right?
After a while, the old lady brought out a bamboo steamer.
Lift the lid and the steamer is steaming hot, filled with salami and ribs.
The old lady brought two large earthen bowls, which were full of rice cakes.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jiao Shiyun were both hungry, holding a bun of cereals in one hand and a sausage and pork ribs in the other, and they devoured it.
After eating, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Claris Yun regained their red faces.
This simple meal, for them, is the taste of time.
"Uncle, auntie, excuse me...... "Zhang Xiaoqiang took out a thousand yuan and put it on the table.
"What are you doing, young man? The old man asked.
"Food expenses, auntie, you take it!" Zhang Xiaoqiang said.
"Either way, or not, this is not good, we don't want money......" The eldest lady took the money and returned it to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"Uncle, auntie, after eating your delicious meal, there is nothing to thank you, you should take it!"
"Otherwise, we don't want money, and we have nowhere to use it. The old man also said.
Have nowhere to use the money?
Zhang Xiaoqiang thought about it, this old man just asked Taizu if he was healthy, he must not go down the mountain, this wilderness, money is a piece of waste paper, and he refuses to burn it when he uses it to make a fire.
"Grandpa, 'Grandma', 'Milk', I'm back......" At this time, a voice like a silver bell came from outside the house.
A young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, walked into the house carrying a backpack full of mulberry leaves.
"Swallow, call my brother and sister, they are here to explore. The old man said to his granddaughter.
"Brother, sister, hello!" The young 'girl' did not 'show' her timidity when she saw strangers, but was lively and playful, and very bold.
"The 'spring' wind blows silkworms as thin as ants, and mulberry sprouts are green crows. Invade the morning and pick mulberry whose 'girl', holding a long strip of tears like rain. At this time, the cold leaves of this year's 'spring' are late. Sadly listening to the "door" urging the inside, the official family harvested new silk in February. ”
Looking at this lively and natural young 'female' swallow of mulberry picking, Zhang Xiaoqiang remembered the Tang Dynasty poet Tang Yanqian's "Mulberry Picking 'Female'".
However, "Cai Sang 'Girl'" is written about the hardships of the people's life and the heavy burden of heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the theme seems a bit heavy.
And the 'girl' in front of her, the whole person feels sunny and positive.
This is the 21st century, and he is still living a life of picking mulberry in the deep mountains and old forests, but the swallow's face has a smile that people in the city will never have, Zhang Xiaoqiang has to sigh at the mentality of modern people.
"Crow, I've finally found a ...... family"
"Yes, mom, I looked for three days before I found this family, and I don't know if there is a little 'girl' baby we want......"
At this moment, two men's voices came from not far away.
"Another explorer?" the old man and the old lady looked at each other, both stunned.
If another explorer comes, they won't have anything good to entertain.
Two young men in black robes, one tall and one short, holding swords, approached.
Seeing the fierce and vicious appearance of these two people, and holding swords, the old man and the old lady were frightened.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the two of them and found that their clothes were exactly the same as those of the disciples of Kuiyueguan, and he was surprised, the disciples of Kuiyueguan chased after them?
These two Kwai Yueguan disciples also saw Zhang Xiaoqiang, but they were unmoved, the tall man saw Jiao Shiyun and Yanzi, and said, "Hey, there are good goods, not bad......"
The short Aoi Yueguan disciple said: "Yes, Black Crow, I didn't expect us to be so lucky, meet two good goods, bring them back, this mission will be completed, we must not be punished by the head of the 'door'." ”
"Black Snake, why did the 'Gate' faction ask us to come out and arrest the little girl?" asked the tall man, the Black Crow.
The black snake said: "It seems to be taking the sacrificial sword, once, I overheard Senior Brother Yu and the holy 'girl' say, saying that the head of the 'gate' sent us out to catch the little girl, and waited until the beginning of the month, put it into the sword furnace, and sacrifice the Aoi Moon Sword......"
The crow said, "I see, I don't know if they have completed the task, but we have completed the task anyway." ”
Hearing the conversation between the black crow and the black snake, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jiao Shiyun were so angry that their faces turned blue.
Catch the little girl and go back to sacrifice the sword, this Kwai Yueguan is really vicious.
If you want to say that Jiao Shiyun is the body of nine 'yin', and catch her back to sacrifice the sword, Zhang Xiaoqiang can still figure it out, and he has to catch more ordinary young 'women' to go back to sacrifice the sword, isn't this just pulling people to accompany the funeral?
The old man and the old lady were confused when they heard it, but they knew that it was not a good thing.
Swallow also knows that the two outside are not good people.
"Come with us, two girls!" said the crow.
"Leave your mother!" scolded Jiao Shiyun.
"Yo, this little girl, it's 'pretty hot'!" Black Crow laughed.
The black snake said: "Black crow, let's do it, kill the unrelated people first, and then bring them back, don't delay!"
"Ah......" Hearing that they were going to kill them, the old man, the old lady and the swallow were so frightened that they killed people if they didn't agree with each other, what kind of ghost are they.
"Old thing, it's your granddaughter' who hurt you, don't blame us, you should ......go at this age," the crow walked with his sword.
"Hehe, regard human life as a mustard, and it is really vicious...... Zhang Xiaoqiang stood up and walked towards the 'door'.
"Boy, you also want to die, this can't blame us, we can only blame you for your bad luck, human life, haha, how much is human life worth?
"What a strength is respected, Kwai Yueguan disciple, cultivation is not good, and he is still so arrogant!" Zhang Xiaoqiang was cold all over, and said: "Since strength is respected, then I can also kill you, but I can't complain about me!"
"Boy, do you know that we are disciples of Aoi Yueguan?" The black crow was startled, and then said, "Since you know our identity, you are still so arrogant? I'll send you to Hades first!"
After speaking, the black crow shook his wrist and prepared to swing his sword to kill Zhang Xiaoqiang.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang also shook his wrist.
A cold light swept out of Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand.
"Poof!"
The black crow hadn't come to his senses yet, and the arm he was holding the sword was unexpectedly short.
The speed was too fast, the incision was neat, the black crow didn't feel the pain, and the blood waited a few seconds before it came out.
When the black crow saw his arms and body separate from his body and fall to the ground, he was so frightened that his soul flew to the Three Realms.
