Yousu is a very common vassal state in China, nothing special about it.
But when we talk about Su Daji, we will definitely think of the Su family's nine-tailed fox. In the legend of later generations, Daji was the bane of the Shang Dynasty sent by Nuwa, a nine-tailed fox who conquered the country and brought disaster to the country and the people.
Hua Ling looked at Su Daji chatting with Lu Ya carefree, and thought helplessly: But it is also written in the book that Daji was the king of Shang Zhou who attacked Yousu, but Yousu was defeated, so he dedicated Daji to Shang Dynasty as a beauty.
King Zhou's.
Hua Ling naturally believed what was recorded in the book, and he didn't see anything related to nine-tailed foxes or even ordinary foxes in Yousuli.
And how could Nuwa be so boring and let a little girl do things that harm the country and the people? In the final analysis, isn't it because the novel was too bold to write, and then a group of people with little knowledge spread the novel everywhere as if it were true?
"Miss Wushuang..." The old man opened the door and sat on a chair, thumping his lower back.
Hua Ling turned around and looked over: "What's wrong?"
"If you plan to continue traveling, can you take Daji away with you?" The old man's voice did not disturb Su Daji, who was chatting with Lu Ya, and she probably did not hear it.
Hua Ling was puzzled and looked at Su Daji: "Why is this?"
"Daji's parents died on the battlefield. I am probably too old to take care of her when she grows up. Traveling with you should be better than here."
But if Daji is taken away, history will change.
"I'm really sorry, old sir, I can't bear to accept my order." Hua Ling sighed, and then said, "Lu Ya and I will not bring a third person with us on our travels, and this is Daji's home. She and the Su family
Aren’t the others getting along well with each other?”
The old man looked at Su Daji with a wry smile and said nothing more.
The next day, Su Daji took Hua Ling to a house. There were many handmade carvings in front of the house.
"This is right here. Uncle's craftsmanship is very good!" Su Daji pulled Hua Ling and knocked on the door, "Uncle, I am Daji!"
The door was opened, and inside was a somewhat slovenly middle-aged man. The man's clothes were hanging on his body like rags. He was obviously well-dressed, but it gave the impression that he was just wrapping his clothes casually.
The man opened the door dejectedly, and was stunned for a moment when he saw a woman taller than him outside the house. Then he lowered his head and saw Daji, and smiled happily: "It's Xiao Su~"
The man led Su Daji and Hua Ling into the door. The door was still open, and a bamboo stool was used to block the outside to prevent any noise.
"Why did Xiao Su come to see me?" The man spread a clean bamboo mat on the ground for Su Daji and Hua Ling to sit cross-legged.
Su Daji took out the dragon scale: "Uncle, Sister Hua and I hope you can carve on this dragon scale!"
"Dragon... scales?" The man took it with trembling hands and held the dragon scales in his palm to check, "It is indeed not an ordinary scale... did this young lady bring it?"
Hua Ling smiled: "To be precise, it's the trophy from my friend's victory in the battle with the dragon."
"This is a treasure. Is your friend giving it to you like this?" The man looked at Hua Ling, who was sitting upright on the bamboo mat.
"Brother Lu said that as long as Sister Hua wants, I can give her anything!" Su Daji suddenly spoke, causing Hua Ling and the man to look at her.
Because he was suddenly stared at by two people with strange eyes, he asked timidly: "Xiao Su...did you say the wrong thing?"
"The young man named Lu must be very important to you, miss, right? ...What do you want to carve?" The man put away the carving tools and sat on the workbench and asked.
"Just engrave 'Su Daji'." Hua Ling decided after thinking for a moment.
"Huh?" Su Daji looked at Hua Ling in confusion.
Hua Ling touched Su Daji's head: "Lu Ya traveled with me. I plan to leave some memories of the travels with me. I will carve Xiao Su's name on this dragon scale. It will be like Xiao Su is traveling with us."
travel."
Su Daji looked at Hua Ling with emotion, threw herself into Hua Ling's arms and hugged him: "Wow, sister Hua - I will always remember sister Hua!"
Hua Ling stroked Su Daji's hair lovingly and comforted her.
After listening to the conversation between the two, the man thought for a moment: "Actually, you are the size of a dragon scale, so just engraving your name is a bit overkill. I'll give you a portrait as a gift, right?"
Hua Ling looked at the man who was already starting to draw a picture in his hand, and thought about the man's words: "What do you mean?"
"Engrave Xiao Su's appearance on it too." The man patted Su Daji on the back, "Xiao Su, turn around, uncle will observe your appearance."
"Okay!" Su Daji turned to look at the man.
According to the man's words, he would carve out a photo with his name on it. Hua Ling looked at Su Daji's happy face and thought to herself: It seems that there is something to collect.
The carving was completed in just one day.
Hua Ling paid the man a wild boar and three rabbits that he had hunted for his hard work. When the man saw Hua Ling approaching dragging the wild boar, he was so frightened that he froze in place.
Hua Ling took the carved dragon scales and looked at the sky through the sunlight. The dragon scales were carved in different thicknesses, making them even more beautiful in the sunlight.
"That's amazing." Hua Ling sighed.
Hua Ling placed the wild boar and rabbit in front of the man's door. The man leaned over and touched the wild boar's teeth and said, "Xiao Su said you would leave early tomorrow morning?"
"Well, Lu Ya and I were just traveling here and didn't plan to stay for a long time." The main reason was that Hua Ling predicted that Emperor Xin would come to attack Yousu in more than ten days and could not stay until a few days before Emperor Xin came.
, but when he comes, he may not be able to run away.
"Hey, the rivers and lakes are so big, it's good to see more. Xiao Su also liked to run around when he was young, but after being bitten by a few foxes in the forest as a child, he didn't like to play outside. At most, he helped the old man collect herbs."
The man sighed.
Bitten by a fox? Hua Ling thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something: "Why don't you like to go out after being bitten? Foxes generally don't take the initiative to attack people."
"Who knows, but I heard from hunters that there was a nine-tailed fox in the woods. When Xiao Su was found in the woods, he was already unconscious after being attacked. He slept for several days before waking up."
"Nine-tailed fox? That's a legendary monster." Hua Ling rubbed the dragon scales in his hand: Could it be that Xiao Su was really bent over by the nine-tailed fox?
When bidding farewell to Su Daji, Hua Ling touched her cheek and said, "Xiao Su is so beautiful. Sister, please wish Xiao Su to marry into a good family."
Su Daji said aggrievedly: "My sister also wants to marry a good family!"
…
Lu Ya and Hua Ling were very quiet when they left Yousu, but Hua Ling seemed to feel something. The two of them turned into crows and flew somewhere.
After flying for a long time, we finally saw a big city. At a higher altitude, the two birds could also see the coastline.
"It's the East China Sea." Hua Ling stopped on the branch and looked at Lu Ya beside him.
"This should be Chentangguan?" "Yeah."
Now Hua Ling is curious again - whether Nezha Naohai really happened.
