Chapter 24 The Demon
As for Li Qi, when he saw this girl, he finally smiled and opened his mouth, revealing his big white teeth.
Why?
Because people are awake, there won't be so much trouble.
Besides, this woman looks very rich at first glance, and her clothes are all gauze.
Just kidding, Li Qi has never touched a gauze scarf until now. Even if he can touch it, most of the rich and middle-class families in Lizhou City wear cotton. As for a poor guy like him, how can he have such a thing? Wearing linen is already good.
What is the concept of gauze scarf?
He must at least be a big landowner, right?
There's just one problem...
If you are really rich, then it shouldn't be a problem to spend money to find capable people. Why are you delaying until now and letting yourself, a passerby, rescue people?
Not sure why.
But it might just be a coincidence.
However... there may be other reasons, so you must be on guard against others, so let’s test it out.
Li Qi thought about this: "This girl..."
"Ah uh--!" Shen Shuibi shivered in fright, made strange noises, and even rolled over.
Ba Kui took a look and frowned: "This woman may have been frightened by the demon and went crazy. Now she will be in trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble. It's better to be crazy. You don't have to be responsible. After you taste it, just throw it away and she will run away without us doing anything." A merchant nearby said.
Li Qi now understood more about the situation of this group of merchants. No wonder Adu didn't dare to go with them and could only find strangers.
These people are probably businessmen at ordinary times. Once given the opportunity, they will immediately turn into thieves. They don't mind doing evil at all. They may have some sense of loyalty, but just like Li Kui, they only have small righteousness towards others and no sense of right and wrong. Zhongyi.
As for great righteousness, it must be held in the heart of the world. Li Qi felt that he, a Gou Ba tracker, was not qualified to talk about it.
But before he spoke, Shen Shuibi immediately stood up after hearing the words: "I...I'm not crazy! You, don't...don't..." She stuttered for a long time, and finally said: "Don't touch me!"
Compared with the stuttering, the movement of getting up was very smooth, and it didn't feel like I had been jolted all night.
Because the man named Li Qi smiled horribly, showing his teeth as if he wanted to eat people.
No, it's rabbit.
As for Li Qi, he was a little confused.
This time he did not pause, but said it all at once: "Girl, what is your name?"
Although I don’t know what this woman misunderstood, but she doesn’t seem very smart, so I’d better guide her first.
"I...my name is Shen Shuibi."
"My name is Li Qi, Miss Shen, were you kidnapped by that monster before? Do you still remember where your home is?" Li Qi asked again.
"My home is in Jiannan..." Shen Shuibi replied subconsciously, and then she suddenly realized it and quickly covered her mouth.
"Jiannan?" Li Qi was stunned. He had never heard of this place name. Is there a place called Jiannan near Lizhou?
He looked at the merchants around him. These people were wandering around, buying and selling products, and they should know many place names.
The businessmen seem to be confused and have never heard of it.
Adu, on the other hand, thought for a while and suddenly said: "I once followed a caravan of big merchants and heard their chats. I know that there is a place in the Tang Dynasty called Jiannan Road, but here?"
"Tang Kingdom?" Li Qi frowned: "Miss Shen, are you from Tang Kingdom?"
"No, it's not! It should just be the same name! I, I, I... my Jiannan is a small place, very small, you haven't heard of it, it's normal!" Shen Shuibi said hurriedly.
"So Miss Shen, does the previous demon have something to do with you?"
"No, it's okay!" Shen Shuibi replied immediately!
At this time, all the merchants took a step back and took out their hatchets.
Adu also hid behind.
Shen Shuibi immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She was almost in tears.
When the empress is around, she never lies!
As a result, not only do you have to lie now, but you also say it in a stilted way, so lame that you can see through it at a glance.
Li Qi, on the other hand, did not turn around, but put his hands behind his back and quietly waved to others to leave quickly.
Then, as if he didn't notice the movement behind him at all, he walked up and said, "That's it, it doesn't matter. It scared me to death." Li Qi scratched his head and showed a kind smile.
"Eh..." Shen Shuibi looked a little confused.
This person... was deceived?
"It's just that I'm sorry, girl, we are all hardworking people and have no skills. We can't send you back to Jiannan. We are not familiar with the landforms and have insufficient abilities. How about we go our separate ways here?" Li Qi said politely.
When Shen Shuibi heard this, she felt happy, forgot about other things, and nodded hurriedly.
"Then let's just say it, let's leave first. I'm afraid, girl, you have to go home by yourself." Li Qi said with a kind expression.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! I can just go back by myself!" Shen Shuibi said quickly.
"Then let's go our separate ways here. We haven't eaten the rice cake in the pot. We scoop it into bowls and share it. Girl, you can eat first to satisfy your hunger." Li Qi added.
"Thank you!" Shen Shuibi bowed her head and thanked her, forgetting what scared her.
After Li Qi finished speaking, he turned around and winked at everyone.
The merchants immediately picked up their knives, shoulder baskets, and even the pots, and ran away!
Li Qi followed without hesitation and took Adu all the way!
Just kidding! That one behind you is probably a monster!
And she is no different from a human being. She is probably a monster that can change shape. The wild dog monster is 100% related to her!
Although I don’t know what the other person is thinking, but while this monster’s brain is not working well, why don’t you run away quickly and seek death?
While Li Qi stabilized the monster, the group of people ran away again. They had no intention of chatting anymore on the way and hurried on. Since dawn in the morning, they only drank water and had no time to eat. Finally at dusk, they rushed Arrive at Feng County.
Finally arriving in Feng County, everyone can take a breather.
Even Ba Kui gave a thumbs up at this moment. Although he was out of breath from exhaustion, he still praised: "Huh...huh, brother Li Qi, I am convinced by you! Facing a monster, you How can you still be so calm!"
"I didn't expect... Huh, ha... haha." Li Qi was out of breath: "I didn't expect that monster to be so easy to talk to, as if he was a fool... I was also prepared if the other party couldn't pretend to be innocent. , we got up and fought with her! Unexpectedly, she actually kept pretending, and this was how we got away!"
