Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 13 The Journey to Qingqiu ([-])

Fly north of Chaoyang Valley for three days to Qingqiu country.

The country of Qingqiu is rich in products, and the four seasons are like spring. The people of the country eat five grains, and most of them live in tribes. The various tribes act according to the regulations among the tribes, and the strong are respected.Only half of the real humans in Qingqiu are monsters in human form. Among them, the highest-ranking family is the Nine-Tailed Fox, and everyone in Qingqiu respects them very much.

The Nine-Tailed Fox family live scattered, appearing very mysterious, they are arrogant by nature, they never associate with outsiders, they look like emperors who live in seclusion in the mountains.

The place where the Buddha beads guided Ye Qing and Rong Sheng was in a small town where humans lived. Most of the residents in the city were humans, and there were very few invisible monsters.

"Rongsheng, look at the difference between the two of them." Ye Qing first pointed to the young man at the end of the street selling vegetables and fruits, and then asked him to see a man who was pouring water into flower pots diagonally opposite the pharmacy. old lady.

Rongsheng looked at the young man and then at the old lady for a long time, but couldn't tell anything.

He looked at Ye Qing puzzled, but heard her say: "The little brother who sells fruit is originally a rabbit."

Rong Sheng opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide. He turned to look at the guy at the end of the street. Is he a rabbit?Where are his long ears?What about his short tail?

He stared intently for a while, until the young man noticed him, and the young man held up a bright red fresh fruit towards him, Rong Sheng bowed his head in embarrassment.

Ye Qing continued in his ear: "What about the old lady, her original form is a (fucking wolf) grass, after taking it, it can prolong life and cure abdominal pain. She is more than 200 years old."

Rong Sheng was shocked when he learned that the old lady, who was only in her 70s, was already in her 200s.

He saw two children who were his own age playing and running towards the old lady. The child was naughty and accidentally bumped into the old lady whose back was turned to them. The old lady let out an ouch.

Rong Sheng hurriedly retracted his eyes, and then he heard the kettle fall to the ground with a "bang".

"Look." Ye Qing took his hand and squeezed it gently.

Looking up, Rong Sheng saw that the old lady did not show a fierce look, but smiled and picked two flowers and gave them to the two children.

Seeing that Rongsheng was not so nervous, Ye Qing led him into the city, and said as he walked, "On the whole street, except for them, everyone else is just like you."

Before entering Qingqiu, Ye Qing wanted to use this opportunity to help Rong Sheng get out of the shadow of fearful monsters, so he observed for a while and found a rabbit and a (wolf) grass.

"In ancient times, there were people and monsters. Not all of them were good people, and not all monsters would definitely do evil..."

Rong Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

After some food, the two went to the only temple in the city.

The temple is a very ordinary courtyard, with an outer wall and an inner wall. If you look down from the sky, you can see a big "Hui" character. It is said that there is a statue of a fox with a human face enshrined inside.

Ye Qing and Rong Sheng stood at the foot of the outer wall, carefully looking at the murals painted with colorful pictures.

"Gently, it has nine tails."

"The birth of the nine-tailed fox is an auspicious omen of peace in the world. Therefore, residents also pray for the protection of the nine-tailed fox."

The mural mainly tells that when various places are hit by droughts, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters, the nine-tailed fox appears and casts spells, bringing stability and peace to human beings again.

The two walked halfway around the outer wall, found the main entrance, but were blocked.

The guard frowned, spread his hands towards her, and said sharply, "Golden beans!"

Ye Qing froze for a moment, then repeated in her mouth: "Golden beans?"

Do you need to buy tickets to enter this temple?

Seeing that Ye Qing was stunned, the guard explained: "To pray for the fox fairy's blessing, you must first show your sincerity. Without the golden beans, we will not let you in."

The guard said no more and urged the two to leave.

Ye Qing and Rong Sheng had no choice but to walk half a circle around the temple, only to find that there was really only one entrance.

In view of the fact that Ye Qing was doing the task for the first time, she didn't know how to use mana to transform into a golden bean or fly in directly, and how it would affect the blessing of the seal, so she could only choose the honest and practical way of "buying tickets" to get in.

Ye Qing took Rongsheng out of the temple to find out where there are golden beans. Before that, she had to figure out what golden beans are.

On the earthen bridge not far from the Fox Fairy Temple, an old man answered their questions.

It is said that the golden bean is one of the favorite food of the fox fairy. It grows in the deep abdomen of the mountains of Qingqiu country, and its quantity is rare. Although it is called the golden bean, it is a nearly transparent white fruit, the size of the nail shell of a little finger.People donate it to the temple, dry it and grind it into powder. The fruit is golden yellow, and then it is sent to the high tower in the temple by a special person.

After listening, Ye Qing thanked the old man and prepared to go to the deep mountains to pick fruits.

"Little girl, are you asking about Golden Beans to go to the temple to pray for blessings?" Seeing that Ye Qing was also bringing a little boy with him, he kindly reminded: "It's no coincidence that Golden Beans bear fruit once every ten years. Last year, they already produced fruit once. This year There must be no golden beans."

"There are no golden beans in the mountains, are there any other places?"

"What a clever little girl." The old man laughed, stretched out his hand and pointed to the north: "The Ru family in Jiukengzi needs a girl to help with work, go and see."

The old man left after speaking halfway. Ye Qing looked at his back, feeling as if he had finally connected with the mission NPC in the game.

Going out of the Fox Fairy Temple, she asked a few people, and they either ignored her or said something like "today's weather is very good for traveling". Only this old man not only explained what golden beans are, but also provided them next clue.

So, Ye Qing took Rong Sheng to a place called Jiukengzi in the city.

There are more than a dozen families in Jiukengzi, but fortunately there is only one family named Ru.

Went straight to Ru's house, Ru, a young woman in her early twenties, with a blue scarf wrapped around her forehead, holding a four or five-year-old girl in her hand. From the time the two entered the door, the little girl's gaze It kept falling on Rongsheng's face.

Knowing the reason, Mrs. Ru said frankly: "My lord went to the mountain to pick beans last year. On the way back, he fell off the cliff and was still alive when he was carried back. Several doctors in the city came to see and left. I also went to the temple. I begged the fox fairy a few times, but I couldn't get half of my life back."

"My mother and daughter are having a hard time, and the beans left by the husband are still of some use."

"If you can weave a hundred double-happiness baskets within five days, I can give you two golden beans."

Ru’s workmanship is good. When Lang Jun passed away, he cried a lot and his eyes were injured. As a result, the work he received last year could not be completed. The Double Happiness basket is very complicated, and there are very few people in the neighborhood who can weave twin baskets. Have a meal.

Golden beans have a certain value, but they are not a currency.

Even if Mrs. Ru had some golden beans, they would not be of much use, and she was worried.

Mrs. Ru tried to teach Ye Qing to make a simple basket. Ye Qing did well, so Mr. Ru kept her here.

Making baskets is quite boring, Ye Qing let Rongsheng play in the yard, but he stayed beside her and didn't go anywhere.

Rong Sheng was sitting on a small cushion and meditating. At one side, Ru's daughter squatted beside Rong Sheng, holding her small face in her hand and looking at him with a smile.

In the beginning, Ye Qing was slow to weave, but gradually speeded up after getting used to it. Ru was worried that she would not be able to do it two days ago, but later found that she also stepped up to do it at night. In less than three days, Ye Qing had already weaved a hundred double happiness baskets .

Ru gave the golden beans to Ye Qing and asked her to stay.

"Xiaoye, you are a good craftsman and nimble in your movements. You are a girl who eats this food. I am willing to teach you all the knitting methods I know, so you can stay!"

When Ru Shi said this, he glanced at Rong Sheng from time to time.

"Your younger brother is also very well-behaved. How nice it is to stay with my daughter!"

During the three days at Ru's house, Ye Qingzao noticed that Ru's daughter intentionally approached Rongsheng. Although the ancients matured prematurely, the ancients also matured too early.

Then again, Rongsheng looks handsome, not only Ru's daughter, but also girls from several families around him like to play with Rongsheng, but what about him?He always has a cold face and doesn't like to talk to people.Rong Sheng was actually a very polite child, but Ye Qing found that he really didn't like talking to little girls.

Even though there was a girl who rose to the challenge, Rong Sheng couldn't resist him, so he still said a few words to her...

While Ye Qing was making up baskets, he was thinking about an extremely important question.

Whether it's modern times or ancient times, there are many things that confuse people's hearts. How to keep Rong Sheng awake, especially not to be confused by... beauty?
On the evening of the third day, Ye Qing came up with a brilliant idea.

At night, when Rongsheng fell asleep, she set up a barrier in the room, so that she would be able to sense any danger immediately.

Afterwards, Ye Qing turned back to Chaoyang Valley.
