Chapter 57 Repayment (Thanks to the Sparrow Leader) (1/4)
The girl in yellow is a spirit in Luoshui, and her life is in danger.
I saw two fish flicking their tails and swaying into the water.
Wei Yuan had some suspicion in his mind and immediately turned around and ran back to the B&B without stopping.
After entering the B&B, he walked straight towards the kitchen, carrying a long sword on his back and raising the curtain with his hand.
It's like a curtain separating the two worlds.
The smell of blood hit my face.
When, when——
when!
A fire was burning on the stove, the water in the pot was boiling, and the bubbles like eyeballs rolled up and popped again, and white mist filled the whole room.
The fat-headed cook held a sharp-edged boning knife and chopped the big bones on the table. Blood and flesh spattered out. The thick blade, broken bones, and greasy minced meat all combined to form a mess.
It was a scene of people feeling uncomfortable. On the kitchen table, there was a huge yellow croaker lying across the table, struggling violently.
In the fish basket on one side were two slightly smaller yellow croakers.
When the three fish saw Wei Yuan, they struggled even harder.
really.
Wei Yuan said in his heart, and when the cook saw Wei Yuan, he also stopped.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Wei Yuan with a pair of wooden eyes. The sharp-edged knife in his hand was dripping with blood, and he said slowly: "What is the guest doing here?"
Wei Yuan smiled and pointed to the yellow croaker on the table, then pointed to the two slightly smaller yellow croakers in the fish basket, and said politely: "I wonder if you can give me these three fish?"
The cook said in a muffled voice:
"...This is the main course tonight."
Wei Yuan took a step forward and said:
"I have been devoted to good deeds recently and will not kill any living being at all. Please give me these three fishes."
"If it doesn't work, I'll pay for it."
"Pay?"
The fat-headed and big-eared cook was holding a sharp knife dripping with blood. His eyes were swaying up and down Wei Yuan's body, especially at the position of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. He seemed a little hesitant and greedy. Wei Yuan
Slowly raising his right hand, he placed it on the long-handled object behind his back. The cook seemed to have remembered something, his body trembled and he said:
"...Okay, here you go."
He swept the big yellow croaker into the bamboo basket and handed it to Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan took the bamboo basket with three yellow croakers in it, thanked him, and turned to leave. The cook behind him was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "You said you wanted to leave before, and someone wanted to tell you something. Although the way here has already been
There is no way to leave, but there is still a trail to get out."
You can get out, but don't try to find the way in again.
Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
"But the scenery here is very nice. I like it very much and want to stay a few more days."
"I don't want to leave these two days."
The cook opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
………………
Wei Yuan carried the fish in the bamboo basket and returned to the house. All traces of blood left by the previous killing of Ichimoku had been cleaned up. Wei Yuan put the bamboo basket on the table and said, "Did you entrust it to me in a dream before?
"
The yellow croaker seemed to understand human nature, rising and falling in the water, nodding its head repeatedly.
Wei Yuan was thoughtful, and when he saw the two little yellow croakers dying, he said:
"Do you want me to send you back to the river?"
The yellow croaker nodded again, like a person kowtowing, and swam among the few fish baskets. Its fins gently brushed against the two small fish, showing a loving gesture. Wei Yuan lifted the fish basket and arrived again at the fish basket, which was wider than normal.
At the branch of Luojiang River, the basket was tipped over, and the three-tailed fish emerged from the water, turned around a few times, bowed several times, and swayed to the depths of the water.
Wei Yuan returned to the B&B.
He leaned against the bed with his sword in his arms, closed his eyes and meditated, and soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes in the dream, I saw a woman in yellow kneeling on the ground with a pair of children, kowtowing repeatedly and saying thanks: "Thank you, general, for saving my life. I am willing to die for the general to repay this kindness."
Wei Yuan shook his head and said:
"It's not necessary. You are a monster in the water, but do you know what is going on in this village?"
The woman in yellow replied: "The good general knows that this concubine has been in Luoshui for hundreds of years. One day she accidentally ran into the water of this village and could never get out. No matter which direction she swam, she finally
They will all return to this village, and they don’t know much about the things on the shore, only two things.”
"First of all, general, there must be ghosts in the car when you come here. They will definitely try their best to invite you to their home these two days. The general is a man of the law, so he is naturally not afraid, but you cannot underestimate these ghosts. There is a saying in the world.
, a powerful dragon is hard to beat a local snake, so don’t go there unless necessary.”
"If you have no choice but to buy a big red umbrella before going to his house, and when you get to the door, make sure he goes in first. After he gets in, you will open the red umbrella and hold it against the door of his house, no matter what he says
, I can’t agree to it, and I can’t go and see it, so that I can be safe.”
Wei Yuan thought thoughtfully and said, "What is the other thing?"
The woman in yellow turned a little pale and kowtowed:
"In any case, general, please leave this ghost land within three days."
"Why?"
"Because after three days, it will be too late. The ghost king here will get married in three days."
Wei Yuan said: "Will many evil spirits come to him when he gets married?"
"No……"
The woman in yellow shook her head with a fearful look on her face:
"The one he wants to marry by force is the goddess from the mountain."
……………………
Have you heard of the story of the goddess and the mortal?
You must have heard of it, right?
The goddess who hated the poverty in heaven came to the human world. When she was washing, a mortal who was greedy for the goddess's appearance secretly hid her feather robe and shawl. She had no way to return to heaven, and then she stayed in the human world and married a mortal who stole her clothes.
, have children.
Happiness is the envy of everyone.
But is the goddess who is supposed to be in heaven happy?
The girl in yellow's cultivation was limited, so she quickly woke up from her dream, and Wei Yuan thought about her last reminder.
I suddenly thought of the driver who volunteered to go to the village to inquire about the situation today. I suddenly felt something was wrong. I took out my mobile phone and opened it, but I remembered that the mobile phone had no signal at all and there was no way to contact the driver.
It's almost afternoon now, but the driver still hasn't come back, obviously something is wrong.
Wei Yuan frowned and walked around outside, but he didn't see any red anywhere in this place.
Not to mention the red umbrella.
Is it possible that one needs to be bled to make one?
Wei Yuan's teeth were a little bit bitter, and he briefly thought about giving up this plan, but the method provided by the woman in yellow was very likely to be effective, so it seemed a pity to give up like this. After thinking about it, Wei Yuan thought of
One person who might be able to help is the owner of the B&B who reminded him today.
I simply went to the boss and asked if he had a big red umbrella.
"Does the guest want an umbrella?"
"We happen to have a black one here in our store."
The skinny man looked at Wei Yuan expressionlessly, turned around slowly, rummaged around and found a wooden box from under the table, handed it to Wei Yuan, saying it was a black umbrella, but after opening it, there was a big red umbrella inside.
Wei Yuan's sharp eyes saw black marks on the boss' palm holding the box, which looked like burnt white paper.
The boss put his hands in his sleeves and lowered his eyebrows.
"I want to get some sunshine."
There is always a gloomy weather in this village.
It seems to make people moldy.
Wei Yuan nodded, took the box, and carried it behind his back, as if there were two sword boxes behind his back.
Just as he turned to go out, he saw the couple who came in the car with him earlier and greeted him excitedly, saying: "Brother Wei, are you free now? Old Wu said that there is an old house across the river in this village, which can be used
Take us to see it."
"You came together too, why don't we go together?"
Wei Yuan looked behind the couple and saw the middle-aged man who also came in the car together, and looked outside.
It was afternoon, the weather was gloomy and humid, and the driver still showed no sign of coming back.
So he nodded and smiled easily:
"Okay, let's go together."
PS: Thank you to the leader of |Sparrow|, thank you very much~
Anyway, I didn’t sleep well, so there should be another update later... Ah, if everyone wants to go to bed early, it’s good to wake up the next morning and watch it~
