C128 (1/2)
On the counter of one of the restaurants, I tapped the table with my ruler and said, ”At that time, that snake monster was around twenty feet long. It had a red tattoo and was as thick as a water tank. Its fangs were dense, giving off a dark green light and a foul stench.
Little White transformed into a small dog and squatted on my shoulder. When I smelled it, I let out a few listless hissing sounds. It was very vivid, like a snake and python.
”Great Hero Gu, see this snake demon, the Nine-Ringed Great Saber's side …”
Little White made another series of ”Ding Ling Ling Ling” sounds. It was extremely clear and won applause from everyone behind the screen.
”… ….” Just as he was about to bring his saber forward, he thought for a moment and said to himself, 'I might be able to die without a problem this time, but my mother is old and I am the only son, so what should I do?'
The parts of his heart that were struggling vividly displayed as his accent turned into the voice of an old woman, ”Cough cough, child, where are you? You are not a match for the monster in the mountain. If something were to happen to you, how would I live …”
The voice was anxious, but it was also filled with fear and sorrow. It couldn't help but cause him to feel sad as he repeatedly sighed.
”When Great Hero heard his mother's voice, he panicked and quickly shouted,” Mother, your son is fine, please don't come over! ”
”Ah?” ”Ah, where are you …”
All of a sudden, the old woman's sorrowful cries, Great Hero Gu's rough and urgent warning, and the snake and python's snake flicking their tongues and rubbing their bodies against the rocks of the mountain all came out very clearly, winning over the crowd's cheers.
”… …”
”Pah!”
I slammed the ruler on the table. ”His mother saved Great Hero Gu, the furious Great Hero who was swallowed up by that python monster. At this moment, he is also severely injured, and the great blade that he is so proud of has been cut in half.” The Great Hero smacked the table, ”His mother saved Great Hero Gu, the furious Great Hero who was swallowed by that python. ”Where to go from here, please listen to the next part.” ”
”Hu!”
As he removed the screen, he could hear the crowd below exhaling a long breath, and the tension in their hearts gradually dissipating. A person ran over from the side. He was the son of the owner of this restaurant. He was only 12 or 13 years old. He handed me a silver ingot and said childishly, ”Sir, this is the reward for today.”
”Thanks, Duan`er.”
With a light tap of the bamboo cane in my hand, I slowly walked out of the restaurant. I zigzagged my way to a shabby thatched hut. I pushed open the door, revealing a table, a chair, and a narrow bed.
”Bang! Bang! Bang!” Just as he sat on the couch, he heard knocking on the door.
”Is it Aunt Zhang?”
”Hey, it's me, that couple from my family. Let me send you two steamed buns.” It was a woman in her forties. Her voice was hoarse, but it was filled with kindness.
He received a plate with a smile and touched it. It was indeed four warm steamed buns. ”Thank you, Aunt Zhang. Come, sit!”
”I won't be sitting down. Be careful of the heat, Jussi.” After saying that, he turned around and left. He walked far away and whispered, ”Sigh, tell me what sins you have committed in the heavens. Such a young man who is so nice is actually blind. Sigh …”
Aunt Zhang's family were all very kind, her husband was a paper man, he had a son who was in his twenties, he was filial, his family did business with the dead, in Xuancheng it was not much, but life was not very good either. The people around them all avoided their business, so they avoided them, but I did not care about these things anymore, and since I often chatted with them, they treated me very well.
”Jussi!”
”Lil 'White, didn't I tell you to stop talking? What if you scare someone else?”
”Jussi!” Little White said in dissatisfaction, ”Are we going to live in seclusion here for the rest of our lives?”
”Isn't it good here? You can cultivate well, and don't need to worry about your life. See, I already said that I would use you to make money, and today I have made quite a bit of money. It's quite a big piece of silver, and in the future, you can help me make money and eat whatever you want to eat. ”
Whitey snorted and unhappily jumped onto the table. It picked up a steamed bun and started nibbling on it. It said vaguely, ”Scholar, then your eyes …”
I shook my head. ”Let it be blind. There's no use in seeing it anyway …”
”Sigh, Jushi, do you think that the Southern Immortal Sect will send people over?”
