Saintess, he is a handsome boy
Chapter 19 A tragedy caused by a fish
===================================
The girl in the yellow skirt was a little embarrassed by Nan Xiuzhu's praise, she blushed slightly, and then said: "Did you also come here specially to attend the Heroes' Meeting?"
Nan Xiuzhu shook his head politely, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he smiled back just right.He said: "No, I happened to pass by and heard that there will be a meeting of heroes tomorrow, so I came to see it."
"Did the girl come here on purpose?" Nan Xiuzhu asked.
The girl in the yellow skirt nodded: "To be honest, I heard that the leaders of the Heroes Association can enter Master Qiao's private treasury and choose three treasures at will. Among them is a thousand-year-old blood lotus, which is exactly what I need."
She paused, and then said: "However, I am weak, so I may not be able to accomplish anything. Would you like to help me, my lord?"
Luo Ning was in a hurry, he didn't want Nan Xiuzhu to participate in any bullshit group of heroes.He quickly reached out to pull Nan Xiuzhu, but Nan Xiuzhu's mouth was much faster than his hand.I only heard Nan Xiuzhu's straightforward answer: "It's my honor."
The three people behind Nan Xiuzhu felt a chill, and goosebumps fell all over the ground in an instant.
The four of them went with the girl in the yellow skirt to the inn where she was staying and asked for four rooms.A group of five people had lunch and had a general understanding of each other.
This girl in yellow skirt is the daughter of Bai Luoheng, the owner of Baiyun Villa in Yuncheng, named Bai Yiyi.She has a younger sister named Bai Jingjing, who suffered from chronic diseases since she was a child, and her condition has become more serious in recent years.The doctor said that only the thousand-year-old blood lotus can cure Bai Jingjing's disease, otherwise she would barely survive three years.
Thousand-year-old blood lotus is hard to find in the world, Bai Luoheng tried his best to find out that there happened to be one in Liangcheng's richest man, Mr. Qiao.And Mr. Qiao is busy with his affairs, and he hardly lives in Liangcheng. They have gone to look for it many times but have never seen anyone.
This time, when he heard that Master Qiao was going to hold a meeting of heroes, he rushed over immediately.It's just that Bai Yiyi has been here for more than a month, and she has never seen Master Qiao.Even when they went to visit the mansion, the servants only said that Master Qiao was not there.She had no choice but to pin her hopes on the Qunyinghui.
Is there a sick younger sister at home... Nan Xiuzhu's eyes darkened as if he felt empathy, he patted Bai Yiyi's shoulder comfortingly, and then said: "Don't worry, Miss Bai, we will definitely help you out. Get the Millennium Blood Lotus."
On the day of the Heroes' Meeting, a group of five people followed the mighty crowd to a deep valley on the outskirts of Liangcheng.This deep valley is a place where poisonous insects and beasts gather. Participants need to hunt and kill the beasts and take away the eyes of the beasts.
After three days and three nights, bring the beast eye you got to Qiao's mansion, and someone will count the ranking.The winner is the one with the most animal eyes, regardless of size.
"Is this the end?" Nan Xiuzhu said to the man in white who announced the rules of the competition.
The man in white looked at Nan Xiuzhu with a smile, and said, "There are no rules, there are rules."
Everyone understands.
The steep cliff leads straight to the bottom of the valley, with no steps, only some thin vines and a few dead trees that seem to be broken at any time.Those with good lightness kung fu jumped down directly, while those with strong Kongwu chose to climb down by climbing on the vines.
It was only then that Nan Xiuzhu discovered that among the five, he was the only one who knew no martial arts.He was a little embarrassed. Before, he had vowed to help others win the first place. When he actually went to the battlefield, he realized that he was actually the one who was holding back.Mistake, misstep.
Ye Xiangnan Xiuzhu stretched out his hands: "Master."
Nan Xiuzhu laughed to hide his embarrassment, "You guys go first, I'll be there later."
So Luo Ning, Qiao Shiliu and Bai Yiyi jumped down, the three of them were flying with their robes fluttering, and they were so chivalrous that Nan Xiuzhu was so envious.
He sighed and said to Ye, "Let's go."
Down from the deep valley is an abyss, but there is a raised stone platform at a certain distance.If it falls on the stone platform, you can enter some weird caves along the side wall of the cliff.
The higher caves are quite normal, with almost all the flowers, plants and trees that have been seen there. Occasionally, there are a few small animals with unique looks, which are also very cute, without the ferocious appearance of beasts at all.
Ye brought Nan Xiuzhu to land on a stone platform, looking up, it was already cloudy and misty, and everything above was shrouded in a vast mist.Presumably they should be in the lower middle position of the deep valley at this moment.Before they left, they didn't discuss the contact signal and joint location with Luo Ning and the others, so Nan Xiuzhu, master and servant, had to start hunting the beasts by themselves.
In fact, it should be the night that hunted the beast alone.Nan Xiuzhu couldn't help, so he could only find a big tree to hide himself, so as not to cause trouble for the night, it was considered a help.
Holding a knife in both hands, Ye specially picked some petite beasts to hunt and kill.If he encounters a bigger one, or a small animal that escapes and calls his father, Ye will pull Nan Xiuzhu and run away, absolutely refusing to show his strength.In less than an hour, the small cloth bag in Ye's hand was already filled with colorful beast eyes.
The master and the servant flew towards the depths of the ravine again, almost to the bottom, and finally landed by a pool.
"Eh? Do fish eyes count?" Nan Xiuzhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Ye thought for a while, and said: "Master, you have already said that it is a fierce beast, and the fish is not considered a fierce beast, right?"
"That's not counted?" Nan Xiuzhu rubbed his chin, there are no normal beasts in this deep valley, even mosquitoes, snakes and ants are showing their fierce looks, wishing to swallow life in one bite.
"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?" Nan Xiuzhu asked.
Ye touched his waist and frowned: "All the belongings are in Qiao Shiliu's place. Shall I catch a fish for the master?"
As Ye spoke, she took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs, and groped her way down the pool.The pool is not too deep, but the water in the pool is dark green, which seems to be flooded with algae, and the bottom of the water cannot be seen clearly.
Ye groped for a long time before pulling out a plump, fat fish from a mud bath.The fat fish writhed desperately, trying to break free, but Ye threw it onto the rocks on the shore.
The stone had sharp edges and corners, and the fat fish fell heavily on it, and immediately lost its breath.Being motionless, it became a real dead fish.
At night, he returned to the shore, set up a bonfire, and deftly opened up the fish, and it was quickly roasted.He picked up the fragrant grilled fish and was about to hand it to Nan Xiuzhu, but just as Nan Xiuzhu was about to reach out to pick it up, he heard someone talking behind him.
The man said, "Is it delicious?" His voice was indistinguishable.
Ye was taken aback, this person appeared quietly, like a ghost, less than two meters away from them.
Nan Xiuzhu looked for the sound, and saw a woman in a light blue tulle dress standing there.She is slender, silky as water, with rippling blue eyes, and she looks so lovely and pitiful.
Nan Xiuzhu thought she was hungry, so he waved his hand and said, "I haven't eaten yet, are you hungry too? Give you half?"
The woman walked to Nan Xiuzhu and sat down in silence, took the grilled fish from Ye's hand, stared blankly, and refused to eat.
Nan Xiuzhu and Ye looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, Nan Xiuzhu decided to break the strange calm. He looked at the woman in a daze and asked, "Is the girl hunting alone in this deep valley?"
The girl shook her head slowly, like a mechanical puppet.
Nan Xiuzhu was embarrassed, and thought to himself, you should answer me.
He asked again: "Not alone? What about your companion?"
The woman shook her head in silence again.
Nan Xiuzhu was speechless, could it be that he met a fool?
In the end, Nan Xiuzhu didn't eat the fish either.Although layers of smog cover the bright and clear sky, the sunset on the western mountain is still very real.In this deep valley, it seemed that the night fell earlier, and a layer of grayness gradually covered the thick fog, and everything around became darker.
"It's getting dark so soon." Nan Xiuzhu murmured.
After all, Nan Xiuzhu and Ye were men, so it would be inconvenient to share a cave with a girl.The two had no choice but to lean against the entrance of the cave, one on the left and the other on the right, and only the girl went into the cave to rest.
The girl was always quiet, didn't say a word, and closed her eyes to rest obediently after entering the cave.
Ye looked at the girl and said, "Master, this subordinate always feels that there is something wrong with this girl."
Nan Xiuzhu nodded: "It's very wrong."
It stands to reason that the most dangerous place in the deep valley is the bottom.The two of them went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers all the way down, although they were not injured, it was because their master and servant had first-class escape skills.
But this girl appeared here very abruptly, alone, without a companion, but she was unharmed.Nan Xiuzhu observed her belongings, um... It should be said that she didn't have any belongings at all, not even self-defense weapons, which is very strange.
Nan Xiuzhu said: "Let's do this tonight, be careful, don't sleep too hard. We will find an excuse to get rid of her tomorrow morning."
Ye nodded yes.
Nan Xiuzhu, who said not to sleep too much, somehow fell asleep.In his sleep, he smelled a faint fishy sweetness, and then woke up suddenly.
He was still asleep in his original position, but the night was gone.Nan Xiuzhu turned his head to look at the cave, but the girl had disappeared.
Could it be that he sent the girl away alone overnight?
Nan Xiuzhu didn't dare to leave without permission, and waited for a long time, but still didn't see Ye coming back.With an inexplicable premonition in his heart, Nan Xiuzhu strode away and began to look around for Ye.
After searching for several hours, until Nan Xiuzhu was too tired to walk, he sat on a rock and thought...Suddenly, he stood up and ran towards the previous pool.
No way?Nan Xiuzhu couldn't believe his guess.In the past, I heard that there lived a fish demon in the cold pool of the deep valley. It was a monster shaped like a human.They have the IQ of human beings, they can learn to speak like others, they also have feelings, and they get married and have children like human beings.
The only difference is that they cannot stay away from the waters where they were born.Where you are born, you will live there for the rest of your life.
Nan Xiuzhu gasped loudly, and finally returned to the pool, where the woman was indeed sitting.In front of her is a small earth bag that was not there yesterday, and a wooden sign stands in front of the earth bag.It was clearly a grave.
Nan Xiuzhu's eyes widened suddenly, because he saw a person lying motionless beside the tomb, the crimson blood under his body meandered like a stream, flowing into the pool along the grooves in the sand and gravel.
"Ye!" Nan Xiuzhu shouted, and ran directly to Ye who was lying on the ground.
As far as the eye can see, there is a shocking crimson, and the night has been disembowelled, and the limbs are twisted and deformed in a strange way, which is the appearance of having been tortured.
The girl in the yellow skirt was a little embarrassed by Nan Xiuzhu's praise, she blushed slightly, and then said: "Did you also come here specially to attend the Heroes' Meeting?"
Nan Xiuzhu shook his head politely, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he smiled back just right.He said: "No, I happened to pass by and heard that there will be a meeting of heroes tomorrow, so I came to see it."
