Chapter 17 Disappear
Qiao Xuan's eyes flashed, and he threw out a thunder talisman. "Crack!" With a sound, the purple sky thunder struck the middle of the big willow tree with sparks quickly and accurately, and the tree suddenly became two halves.
Xi He's eyes widened as he watched from a distance, and he was shocked. He didn't expect Qiao Xuan to have such terrifying abilities at such a young age.
"Ahhhh~" A hoarse and harsh voice sounded.
"The old tree has become a spirit and destroyed human lives. I must have used this thunder talisman unjustly!" Qiao Xuan took an absolute advantage and walked closer with brisk steps.
"You bitch, you're nosy!"
Qiao Xuan sneered, threw out a talisman again, closed his eyes and recited a spell.
The raging fire ignited, and the surrounding area became unbearably hot. The sound of the surviving old trees gradually disappeared, and everything was reduced to ashes.
As all this happened, the original green on the entire road suddenly turned into a withered yellow. Xi He looked around and was shocked. This was the first time he had seen such a magical sight.
"The lush greenness before was just like the illusion caused by those sounds. When it disappears, these will naturally be shattered."
Qiao Xuan walked back to Xi He and saw him explaining with doubts on his face.
"What was that just now?"
"Everything has animism. That willow tree may have encountered some opportunities after living for so many years. Unfortunately, it didn't take advantage of it, and it gave birth to evil spirits." Qiao Xuan said, shaking his head and sighing. The master said that he must be vigilant at all times and must not leave.
If it is crooked, it will give rise to evil thoughts.
Especially people like them must be strict with themselves and never lose their true intentions due to the temptations of the world.
"Let's go!"
After retracting his thoughts, Qiao Xuan put on a smiling look again, and said brightly: "There will be no accidents on this road in the future!"
"Um!"
Xi He responded, becoming more and more curious about Qiao Xuan.
When I returned to Taoyuan Village, I didn't expect that a group of people were gathered around the entrance of the village, chattering and looking in the direction of the road.
"It's Qiao Xuan!" Li Yue's voice rose sharply in the crowd, "The village chief is back! They are not dead."
Qiao Xuan and Xi He looked at each other and twitched the corners of their mouths. After saying this, could it be that these people were looking forward to their death? Thinking of this, she asked angrily: "What are you doing here?"
"Village Chief, nothing happened on this road, right?"
"We saw a purple lightning bolt in the sky, and the trees over there seemed to be on fire."
Xi Yan stood next to Li Yue with red eyes. After looking up and down at Qiao Xuan and Xi He, she breathed a sigh of relief.
While waiting, people around her were saying that Qiao Xuan and her brother would die, and talking about all the evil things happening on that road, she was scared to death, for fear that something would happen to Qiao Xuan and Xi He.
Sensing her emotions, Xi He walked over and stood beside her, saying in a gentle voice: "We are fine!"
"I know what you said!" Qiao Xuan jumped on a big stone and said loudly: "The lightning you saw struck the largest willow tree and killed the thing you were afraid of."
"Nothing will happen on that road again!"
"Tch! I don't believe it." Sun Ergou, the man standing at the front, rolled his eyes disdainfully, with a look on his face as if Qiao Xuan was lying, "You are just coaxing us to build the road obediently."
The others said nothing and were dubious.
"You have all seen the thunder from the sky, and you have also seen the light of fire. If you still don't believe it, then you don't need to repair this road."
Qiao Xuan was not used to these people. He jumped off the stone and pushed the others away. "The road will be built tomorrow. Those who come will sign up on the spot. Those who don't come will do it themselves."
Xi He and Xi Yan followed her and left.
The three of them returned home and rested for a while before starting to prepare lunch. There was a quick knock on the courtyard door.
As soon as Xi Yan opened the door, Li Yue quickly ran into the courtyard.
"What are you doing? What are you doing in here? Tell me something outside!"
Xi Yan has looked at everyone in Taoyuan Village like thieves since her things were stolen, and she has always been vigilant. Now when she saw Li Yue coming in, she immediately became unhappy and her tone became unkind.
Li Yue was shocked by Xi Yan's attitude. The two of them obviously got along well when they were walking back and forth from the Qingfeng Village intersection together, so why did they suddenly get angry and unhappy?
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Xuan walked out of the kitchen, his sleeves rolled up high.
Seeing her, Li Yue immediately put aside Xi Yan's attitude and approached her with a smile, "Our family has discussed it and we will go build the road with the village chief tomorrow."
The main reason is that I feel uncomfortable with the fifty cents falling into someone else's pocket and not being able to keep a penny of it.
"Yes! I understand, yes, I am aware."
Qiao Xuan gave Li Yue a rare good look.
"Well, I'll go there tomorrow, too, village chief!" Another head poked his way through the door, with a flattering smile on his face as he spoke.
"Including my family", the poor can't afford to eat, and now they have to seize the opportunity to make money, even if they risk their lives.
Qiao Xuan went out and saw that there were eight families in total, all of them were the poorest in the village, and half of them were orphans with no father or mother, who could feed the whole family without being hungry.
"Okay! You can meet at my house tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Everyone was very happy to see that Qiao Xuan did not refuse because of what just happened.
After the others left, Xi Yan said: "I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on them alone. We have to find more people."
"I'll go to town in the afternoon and find some people." Qiao Xuan smiled and said don't worry, these things can be solved.
She was bound to stir up trouble in the village when it came to building the road. Only one of the four people who killed the original owner had received the punishment he deserved, and there were three good ones. How could she let them go so easily?
Xi Yan shuddered. She felt that Qiao Xuan's expression at this moment was terrifying, giving her the feeling that someone was going to be in bad luck.
"I might have to trouble you to keep an eye on your home these days."
Qiao Xuan is obviously younger than Xi Yan in both age and height, but he looks like a little adult. He speaks and acts calmly and has his own ideas.
"Don't worry! I will keep an eye on you," Xi Yan vowed.
She may not be good at other things, but she is also very orderly at home and is a good housekeeper.
"I'll go to town with you in the afternoon." Xi He's voice came from behind the two of them. At some point, he also walked out and stood a few steps away from Qiao Xuan and Xi He.
"I'm relatively familiar with the town and know where to hire people."
His reason was reasonable and reasonable. Qiao Xuan could not refuse but nodded in agreement, "Then I'll trouble you!"
"It should be" Xi He's voice was low and pleasant, and he stared at Qiao Xuan with a pair of deep eyes.
