Chapter 8: Zhou Orion
.......
"It scared me to death just now, who the hell is that person, why is he standing behind me and I don't feel it at all?" Xuanyuan Xiang walked out of the Fulai Inn while thinking about the scene in one hand. Xuanyuan Xiang, who was frightened by the mysterious man, wondered all the way, 'What the hell did that mysterious man do, why could he stand quietly behind him for so long.' But along the way, Xuanyuan Xiang didn't come up with a reason, "Forget it, whatever, as long as you don't let me meet again in the future." Xuanyuan Xiang suddenly muttered to himself. After figuring it out, Xuanyuan Xiang didn't delay anymore and hurried home.
"I don't know what's going on lately, there are always wild boars in the bamboo forest under the Tianxiang tea forest, and a lot of pedestrians have been injured, so it seems that it won't work anyway. Meng Zhutou, you better think of a way. ”
"Well, I also know about this, in my opinion, it is better to let Zhou Orion go up the mountain tomorrow and hunt these animals, what do you think, Yiyuanwai. ”
"That's very good, then follow what Meng Zhutou said. I'll go to Zhou Orion and talk to him, so that he can prepare to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”
Xuanyuan Xiang was walking, and heard the conversation between the two people in front of him; it turned out that the head of Meng Zhutou was named Meng Gu, and in the past few years, because the location of Qiandeng Town was remote and the geographical location was not very important, the imperial court did not send any county order; therefore, now the big and small things in the county government are managed by Meng Gu. As for the beneficiary, in the early years of business in Chengdu, accumulated some wealth, after the old age in this Qiandeng town bought a house, with the family to live in this Qiandeng town, because on weekdays this beneficiary outside the benevolent, so everyone is willing to come to the Yiren outside to help, so in the town is also very prestigious.
Listening to the conversation between Meng Gu and Yi Yuanwai, Xuanyuan Xiang couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, "These days, it's okay to be idle, it's better to go up the mountain with Uncle Zhou tomorrow, maybe you can hunt a few game." Xuanyuan Xiang thought so in his heart, and suddenly, there was a 'cooing' scream in Xuanyuan Xiang's abdomen; Xuanyuan Xiang was startled, and hurriedly raised his head to look at the sky: "It's bad, the noon time has passed early, it's bad, it's bad, I'm going back so late, my father is going to scold me to death again." Xuanyuan Xiang muttered, and his steps sped up a lot. Walking through the market in the town, when he arrived at the door, he was already out of breath, but Xuanyuan Xiang couldn't care so much, wiped a handful of sweat with his backhand, and pushed the door and walked into the house.
Walking into the courtyard, Xuanyuan Xiang saw his mother's busy figure at a glance, and called out "mother".
"Silly boy, where have you gone, why did it take so long to make a pot of wine, come into the house quickly, there is still food for you on the table, hurry up and eat." After speaking, Yang Caier was about to turn around and leave, and then said, "By the way, your Uncle Cao is here and is talking to your father in the house." ”
"Hmm" Xuanyuan Xiang agreed casually, when he heard Uncle Cao coming, Xuanyuan Xiang immediately thought of Cao Ying, and the scenes from his childhood were replayed in Xuanyuan Xiang's mind, "Now she is seventeen years old, and she is also a slim girl." I don't know if she came today, just now my mother only said Uncle Cao, I'm afraid Xiao Ying didn't come, too, the Emei faction is a famous faction in the martial arts, how can the disciples move around at will. Xuanyuan Xiang thought secretly in his heart, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Stinky boy, let you get a pot of wine and come back, where are you going crazy?" A loud drink frightened Xuanyuan Xiang immediately came back to his senses, and Xuanyuan Xiang realized that he had walked into the house unconsciously. Xuanyuan Xiang sneered, put the wine jar in his hand on the table, and told everything he saw and did in the town, but he didn't say anything about meeting a mysterious person on the roof and fighting in front of the bamboo forest. Finally, he said to his father: "Dad, I want to go up the mountain with Uncle Zhou tomorrow." ”
After Xuanyuan Xiang finished speaking, he looked up to look at his father, Xuanyuan Ao's brows frowned slightly, I don't know if it was because of the conflict with the Shenleg Gate or something, and then his brows relaxed, but he didn't speak, just picked up the wine that Xuanyuan Xiang brought back, and poured himself a drink.
"Ahem, Brother Ao, the children are all older, it's time to go out and exercise, don't you see that I sent Ying'er to the Emei faction. Xiaoxiang, go out and exercise, this is a good thing. Uncle Cao, who was sitting on the side, saw that Xuanyuan Ao was just drinking and not speaking, so he said in a timely manner.
"Ahem, come, Lao Cao, let's drink, let him decide the affairs of this stinky boy, I don't bother to care about him." Come, drink, drink. Xuanyuan Ao picked up the wine glass and touched Cao Qingxuan lightly, and then he no longer cared about Xuanyuan Xiang.
"Uncle Cao, that...."Xuanyuan Xiang saw Uncle Cao, and wanted to ask about Cao Ying, but he didn't know how to continue in the middle of his words. "What's the matter, Xiao Xiang, just say something, I'm still polite with you Uncle Cao?" Cao Qingxuan was about to drink, when he heard Xuanyuan Xiang speak, he put down his wine glass, thinking that Xuanyuan Xiang had something else to say, so he asked Xuanyuan Xiang. "Nothing, thank you Uncle Cao. Xuanyuan Xiang finally didn't have the courage to ask, so he had to thank him, then turned back to the table, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
"You see, this kid is polite to his Uncle Cao. After Cao Qingxuan heard this, he said to Xuanyuan Ao with a smile. After saying that, the two of them began to drink.
......
Xuanyuan Xiang has been walking two streets, and he smelled a strong smell of blood from the alley, Xuanyuan Xiang frowned unconsciously, and couldn't help but feel a tumbling in his stomach, and secretly thought, "I really shouldn't eat before coming here." Now Xuanyuan Xiang is about to go to Zhou Orion and ask him to take him to the mountain tomorrow. Zhou Lihu lives in a relatively remote part of the town, because of the perennial hunting of animals, there is a faint smell of blood in the air nearby, and from the moment he walked in here, Xuanyuan Xiang has been frowning. Xuanyuan Xiang, who was holding back, did not stay any longer, and stepped up to walk inside.
"Uncle Zhou, you've been okay lately. Xuanyuan Xiang walked into a courtyard gate and saw a man busy in the courtyard, so he said. The man was five big and three thick, with an animal skin wrapped around his waist, his upper body exposed, and he was holding a boning knife, swimming on an unknown animal.
"Oh, it's Xiaoxiang, what's wrong, what's wrong with you Uncle Zhou?" The man asked out loud when he saw that it was Xuanyuan Xiang, but he didn't stop moving.
"Uncle Zhou, I heard that you will go up the mountain tomorrow, and I want to go up the mountain with you tomorrow. Xuanyuan Xiang looked at the long-dead animal in Zhou Bo's hand, and felt nauseous, and quickly turned his head to look away, trying to hold his breath. "Oh, that's it, you can wait for me at the west entrance of the town early tomorrow morning. That Zhou Bo was not verbose, and immediately agreed.
