MTL - Copper Coins-Chapter 18 Blind Gua Zi (1)

The snow stopped for a whole day and night. For Xue Xian and Jiang Shining, there are advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that Jiang Shining, as the main force for running errands, is a wild ghost who is afraid of yang. He is covered with dark clouds all day in the snow. The yang is insufficient and the yin is strong. Just rest.

The disadvantage is ...

"Raising my hand to help me cover my face! Hurry! My head is about to be blown away by the wind!" Xue Xian yelled at Jiang Shining with vigour.

With such a big demon wind, it is naturally impossible for him to sit on Jiang Shining's shoulders. In desperation, Jiang Shining could only pinch him in his front placket, only revealing his head, so that the restless goods could point to the mountains. However, this demon wind did not follow the common sense at all, and there was no rule. The east, west, and north screamed, and it was very annoying.

Jiang Shining raised his hand with a green face, and while protecting his paper-covered head, he was struggling in the demon wind. "You can shrink your golden head into your clothes."

Xue Xian refused categorically: "No, I'm afraid you'll go the wrong way as soon as you turn around."

Jiang Shining: "..." Where does this blindness come from?

Xue Xian sneered: "When you enter the city, you will cry and ask me how to get there."

Jiang Shining: "..."

They are going to Wolong County, which is far from the two cities of Ningyang County. It is one of the county towns of Linjiang and has an ancient ferry.

That ferry is not that big, there are not many passenger boats daily, and it is not the only one that can go to Anqing. The reason to cross the river from there is only because Xue Xian is going to find someone there.

"There is a family in the east side of the ferry. They should be brothers, but they don't seem close. I've been there twice and I've seen them noisy. The older one has some skills and I have to ask him to help me. Looking at the gold beads, he might find where to sell them to Master Liu. "Xue Xian told Jiang Shining so.

Since he has been there twice, it shows that he is really a reliable man. Jiang Shining naturally has no objection and hurries to Wolong County obediently.

In order to avoid the trouble of going in and out of the city, they specifically bypassed the two county towns separated by the middle, and they all walked along mountain roads. One of them is a dragon, the other is a ghost, and they are accustomed to the night. There should be nothing terrible in theory.

However, it is rumored that some bandits in the mountains and forests in this area have no climate, but they are also a trouble to the traffic and horses. Because Xue Xian was holding a golden bead, Jiang Shining held his heart up all the way, for fear of running into one or two groups, he came and tore them alive.

This worry reached its zenith when he saw the fighting marks of a knife and axe on the wall of an abandoned temple where he had rested his feet and saw the dried red blood on the corner of the door.

I don't know if it was a different route, or for some other reason, they didn't even meet a live mountain bandit along the way, and occasionally encountered a passing horse and horse, but also turned back to the paper to take a ride.

In short, the calm seas were a little strange.

Until the fourth day, when they walked unscathed outside the gate of their destination, Jiang Shining still couldn't believe it: "Are we lucky?"

"Everyone else is afraid of the thief stealing fear of thieves, you'd better, remember the thieves all day long, is the only one." Xue Xian looked up at the city gate.

"Wolong County——" Jiang Shining read the three big words, and said, "Every place name with the word" dragon "is where the real dragon appeared. This place in Wolong County looks like the real dragon is here. Have slept here. "

Xue Xian looked disgusted: "This county with a bigger slap doesn't even have enough footwork, you just slept!"

Jiang Shining looked at him blankly: "I didn't say you?"

As they happened, they met Wu Gengtian, and the bell of the morning bell rang from the city, wave after wave, spreading from the inside to the outside. After the rest of the fifth wave of bells ceased, the gate was slowly opened.

When the defender opened the door, Jiang Shining avoided the corner, intending to change back to the paper and slip in by the door while the night was still gone, so as not to run into trouble during the inspection. But he just stepped back and felt something sting on his heel.

"What?" Xue Xian asked.

Jiang Shining squatted down, pulled away the snow at the footprints, and found a slightly deformed piece of iron.

By the light of the lantern on the city wall, Xue Xianyu identified it with an eye, and saw that the iron piece was about the size of a thumb, with a rough wolf head engraved on the side and the name engraved on the side, but the name was severely scratched with a knife Please don't look big, please look the same.

"Another one," muttered Jiang Shining, and found a similar piece of iron from his arms.

This was previously picked up by the Buddha statue in an abandoned temple with intermittent feet, and there was a drop of dark blood on it. The side on which the name was written was also scratched, and the words could not be recognized at all.

Xue Xian said: "Take it first."

Jiang Shining put both pieces of iron back without any further delay, and while he was not paying attention to the city, he hurried into the city along the door.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he was dumbfounded.

The appearance of Wolong County is very different from Ningyang County. At a glance, you can hardly see a straight street, which intersects and twists and turns. At first glance, it looks like a messy labyrinth.

Jiang Shining paused for a long time, and finally lowered his head towards Xue Xian: "This way ... how to go?"

Xue Xian hugs Jin Zhu proudly, shaking his head and shaking his head, "The previous street crossing was inserted from the ramp with Zhang's cake shop on the east side."

"Have you seen that stall selling sesame sweet cakes? Turn west on that corner."

"Which branch has the smell of fresh soup? Yes, just take that branch."

...

After a few streets and alleys, Jiang Shining was hungry under his command. Born as a wild ghost, it's the ghost who knows how long he hasn't felt hungry.

"Are you blind, do you remember your way to eat?" He asked, looking utterly indifferent.

Xue Xian took Jin Zhu and nodded: "Yes. You walk more and talk less, the day will be bright. Then you will pass a braised meat shop and a Baishun restaurant!"

Jiang Shining rolled his eyes silently.

Although the way of this ancestor to remember the road was a bit annoying, all the choices were short roads. Sure enough, after passing the Baishun restaurant, Jiang Shining saw the ferry hidden in the snow in the distance, the flags were hunting in the wind, and there seemed to be a few passenger boats on the shore.

Jiang Shining stunned his hands to cover up the paper-skinned man with the probe on the front, and narrowed his neck against the wind toward the Fang district east of the ferry.

"Ancestral, can you sit still and stay still? I won't pick you up when the wind blows away." Jiang Shining murmured angrily.

Xue Xian twisted his head and glanced at the street next to him for a few moments, and snorted, "How do I always think there is someone behind me?"

Jiang Shining stood still subconsciously, and looked around for a week, "I don't see any strange people. Is this snowflake always drifting from the side of the eye, wrong?"

"Perhaps." Xue Xian muttered, retracted his neck, and barely parted.

He said: If someone really follows, the snow on the ground will make a "creaking" sound when you step on it, and you can't hear it for no reason. Maybe I really want to ...

Under the guidance of Xue Xian, Jiang Shining quickly came to a remote gate house in the square. Said to be a gate house, it just lifted it up. From the outside, the yard looked as small as a chicken cage. The door was a single leaf, old and mottled. Because of the dampness, the door corners even had mold spots, and no one cared.

It can be seen that this household is not a living person.

"Knock on the door," Xue Xian said.

Jiang Shining was accustomed to stubbornness and knocked on the door very elegantly. "Tuk Tuk Tuk" three times, light and slow, and heard Xue Xian's toothache. "You mosquito humming door, the brother can hear Hell, one of them has an ear that has been injured, and you're safe to knock. "

Hearing that Jiang Shining reluctantly increased his strength, and while he was saying "forgiveness and forgiveness," he knocked several times.

After a while, a little "creaking" footsteps finally came from the yard.

I don't know if it is because the snow is not easy to walk, it sounds inexplicable ... hobbled?

"How old are those brothers?" Jiang Shining couldn't help asking.

"Oh." Xue Xian replied, "The younger is about eight or nine years old, the older one is sixteen or seven."

Jiang Shining said for a moment: "What? You look for a child to ask for objects?"

Just as he was stunned, the single old wooden door was yanked open from inside.

"Thief! Get off !!!"

A childish roar came from the door.

Then there was a bang. A large basin of water of unknown origin poured over it, pouring Jiang Shining, who had not responded, thoroughly from beginning to end!

After all, Jiang Shining's original body was a piece of paper. After being splashed with water on his head and face, he was immediately agitated, his whole body was weak, and he fell weakly to the ground. Xue Xian, who was in his arms, was also not spared. He fell out wet, and stuck on the wet ground. The golden beads in his arms rolled out, just happening to the door.

The man at the door threw open the tub in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly reached out his hand, pushed the gold bead by the door into his hand, and hurriedly got up to close the door.

Just when Xue Xian was sticking to the ground and suffocating his anger and planning to scold, a warm hand fell from the sky and lifted him off the ground.

The hand also had a familiar smell of bitterness, and Xue Xian sneezed immediately. He darts his head wetly, trying to be straight and unable to straighten, can't help but blast: "Bald donkey! Did I dig your family's ancestor's grave or plan your grave, what do you do to stare at me Are you tired after chasing 800 miles? Um ?! "

A cold and cold voice sounded at the top of Xue Xian's head: "I have trouble remembering, not tired."

"..." Xue Xianxue was about to spit out, and immediately wanted to plant his head down into the river!

It is Xuan Mercy who is standing in front of the gate of the small chicken cage courtyard.

I saw him holding wet Xue Xian, picking up Jiang Shining who was splashed back into the prototype, sandwiching the two between his fingers, and then politely pushed open the wooden door.

He strode into the courtyard with a stride of meteors, catching the "little thief" who ran away in a hurry, and calmly looked down: "If you are not yourself, don't be greedy, return the gold beads."
