"Just call me."
"Or your sister-in-law."
One more person and one more effort.
One person can't catch it...
Can two people and three people still make it run away?
...
"good."
The young scholar nodded.
"It was so unexpected..."
How did he want to call someone else?
but……
It's too late, right?
Didn’t he run away as soon as he called out?
...
"It's an accident."
The woodcutter nodded.
"It's not afraid of you at all."
The woodcutter is a little funny.
So far, this little thief...
The woodcutter looked at the strangely shaped animals in the painting.
The eyebrows were still a little tight.
It seems that it's just coming to steal steamed buns.
No other harm was shown.
...
Not afraid of him?
The young scholar smiled bitterly.
Not?
Not just not afraid of him?
That guy was almost stepping on his head.
...
"…What the hell is this guy?"
The woodcutter couldn't help but murmur.
This painting really made him feel a little more awkward when he saw it once.
How could it look like this?
...
"Taotie."
The young scholar spoke.
...
ah?
The woodcutter looked at the young scholar.
What?
...
"I checked the classics."
The young scholar said, "Its appearance is the same as the appearance of the Taotie depicted in the classics..."
“It’s very similar.”
...
Why……
The woodcutter opened his mouth wide,
Taotie?
Even compared to his younger brother, he is a rough man.
Almost never read much.
but……
He still knew Taotie.
Taotie...
Such a famous legendary creature.
...
But……
The woodcutter stuttered a little, "What, why?"
"Tao, isn't Taotie the legendary one?"
It's fake.
It's like a dragon or a phoenix.
How can there be dragons and phoenixes in the world?
How can there be gluttons in the world?
...
"yes."
The young scholar nodded.
"It's legendary."
"So far, there is no record of anyone actually seeing Taotie."
certainly.
It cannot be said that there is no record at all.
However, those recorded reading books are regarded as unofficial history magazines by the world.
No one takes it seriously.
...
"That……"
The woodcutter was confused.
Didn’t my brother say he saw Taotie?
...
"I didn't say I saw Taotie."
The young scholar shook his head.
"I mean the little thief I saw who stole steamed buns looked very much like the Taotie in the classics."
