Chapter 7 Badger and Huan
The name of the Yellow Badger was given to him by "Old Things".
The yellow badger has always felt that the old guy's name is really bad. The yellow badger, the yellow badger, is the yellow-haired badger... The yellow badger even doubted whether the old guy had seriously touched his brain, or the old guy actually had no brains at all?
Let’s look at the names of the younger brothers and sisters in that litter. They are even more casual than the yellow badger. The gray-haired little mouse is called Xiaohui, and the black-haired little puppy is called Xiaohei. Fortunately, there is no misogynous hair. Otherwise, can you still see people by choosing the name "Xiaozao"... The randomness of the old guy's name is simply outrageous. The yellow badger even doubts whether they were picked up by the old guy from the side of the road!
Uh...it seems to be true.
So when the little guys grew up, some of them changed their names themselves, such as the smartest white rabbit demon "Xiaohui"... You guessed that she used to be Xiaobai. There was also the arrogant one-eyed little wolf Apo. The name Pojun was also given by Xiaohui. It used to be called "Xiaodu"...
In short, Brother Badger is simply powerless to complain about the name he gave to the old guy.
Remember before going down the mountain...
"The name of Yellow Badger can easily be associated with the monster when you hear it! The most important thing after going down the mountain is to not expose the fact that he is a monster, so any factors that may be exposed must be avoided, so... old man, I'm sorry." Long before going down the mountain, Yellow Badger decided to give himself a more human-like name.
"Well... just call it Huang Huan." Huang Badger scratched his ears and foreheads for a long time, and finally decided, "Huan - happiness, means happiness, life should be happy and comfortable! What a good word... the key is that it is easy to write."
The last sentence expresses Brother Badger’s thoughts. In fact, he has wanted to complain a long time ago. The word “badger” is too difficult to write. OK? Even if most monsters are not educated, they can’t even write their own name. Is it embarrassing?
"From now on, my human name will be Huang Huan." Brother Badger said intimately.
...
"Senior, don't know what your name is yet?" Xiao Zhengtai asked while jumping and leading the way.
"Uh... My name is Huang Huan. Huan is happy Huan." Huang Badger said.
"Senior, you don't look much older than me, so I will call you Brother Huan in the future... Brother Huan, my name is Gu Xingshi, everyone calls me 'Little Stone'." Xiao Zhengta pulled the hunting bow on his crossbody and said seriously, "I will definitely become the strongest hunter in Baixi Village in the future."
The yellow badger remembered the small arrow that was inserted into the black bear's head again, and twitched slightly, choosing to remain silent.
"There is Baixi Village ahead," Gu Xingshi suddenly pointed at the front, "According to the rules of the village, all strangers from outside must see the village chief first, in case a monster sneaks into the village... In fact, it's just a formality. Brother Huan, I'll take you to the village chief later. If you really plan to settle in Baixi Village, I will ask the village chief to arrange a place for you."
The yellow badger was shocked.
Meet the village chief?
Prevent any demons from getting into the village?
Could it be that this village chief can actually identify the demon clan?
At this time, Baixi Village was already looking away from afar. The yellow badger keenly realized that the closer to Baixi Village, the hotter the snake queen scales on his chest became. It seemed that he had guessed correctly before. Baixi Village was indeed related to the disappearance of the eldest son!
Now that things have come to this point, I can get through it even if I bit the bullet. Yellow Badger can only hope that his natal breath-retention technique will not be seen through. Judging from the Snake Queen's hopeful attitude, it should not be so easy to see through...
With the lessons of the eldest young master, Huang Badger quietly strengthened his natal magic a little, and his aura became more restrained.
Following Gu Xingshi, the yellow badger slowly walked into Baixi Village. An old man squatted at the entrance of the village, basking in the sun, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand and kowtowed.
Walking further inside, there were women washing clothes, children chasing and playing, and old ladies smiling and watching... Everyone greeted Xiao Zhengtai very enthusiastically.
"Xiao Shitou, have you gone into the mountain to hunt again? Didn't you tell you that the mountains are dangerous, don't go."
"Hello Brother Stone!"
"Little Shitou, which young man next to you is from? Why haven't you seen it before..."
Along the way, the yellow badger rolled his eyes and swallowed his saliva. Can you imagine how it feels like a person who has been hungry for most of the day to see a lot of fragrant geese that can walk? To be honest, compared with the thick-skinned prey in the mountains, every human can be called "fine skin and tender flesh", just like a white-cut chicken scalded with hair removed by boiling water, especially it emits an indescribable aura, which seems to be very attractive to the demon...
Fortunately, along the way, Brother Badger had been trained by the more fragrant mobile Buddha around him, so he could barely reveal his feelings!
However, after walking for a while, Huang Yao felt something was wrong. All the way was the old, weak, women and children, but they didn't even see a young and middle-aged man. Gu Xingshi seemed to have noticed Huang Yao's doubts and explained with a smile: "Uncles and uncles are all going to Cangshi City to go to business."
Gu Xingshi explained a few casually, and Huang Yao realized that Baixi Village was not a village that could be completely self-sufficient. In fact, most nearby villages could not be self-sufficient. Every few months they would organize a "trade-trading" team, bringing food, animal skins, homemade arrow shafts and clusters of arrows and other things to Cangshi City hundreds of miles away in exchange for supplies such as salt, sugar, pig iron, cloth.
And this road was not a smooth road, there were many bandits and bandits, so every time the whole village was in motion together... In other words, there were no men in the village now.
The yellow badger breathed a little relieved. A village with only the elderly, weak, women and children was even less threatening no matter how you look at it.
After a moment.
"Huh? Grandpa of the village chief is not here." Gu Xingshi shouted in a bright big room for a long time, but no one responded, so he poured a glass of water for the yellow badger, and then jumped to the chair naturally as if he was at his own home, "Brother Huan, you're sitting there too, let's wait here."
The yellow badger sat down happily, then jumped up like an electric shock, sucking cold air in his mouth.
Butt...
Xiao Zhengtai cast a puzzled look, and Huang Yao hurriedly changed the topic: "Little Stone... Has any special thing happened in your village recently?"
"A special thing?"
"For example..." Huang Badger picked up his cup and drank a sip of water, organized his language carefully, and tried to make his words more tactful, "For example, is there any mysterious theft of rice, noodles, or something?"
"Has rice and flour been stolen? But a rare thing happened a few days ago." Gu Xingshi said with a smile, "A few days ago, a monster was caught by a cultivator!"
"Puff!" Huang Badger squirted out a mouthful of water and asked hurriedly, "What does that monster look like?"
The Demon King is on, Brother Badger just asked casually! He didn't expect any useful clues from Xiao Shitou. Who knew that he got the most direct answer at once!
Being arrested! A few days ago! Monster!
Three extremely consistent messages, coupled with the special reaction of scales... Brother Badger felt a lot of pain in his heart, and the truth was almost revealed.
Queen, your eldest son is afraid that he will be in trouble...
"Brother Huan, why are you asking this?" Gu Xingshi was shocked, "Don't ask others randomly except me. I heard that monster has a great background! The masters who caught monsters suspected that there would be other demons pretending to be humans to find it recently... If you ask around, others will suspect that it is a monster!"
"Uh... I'm just curious! I've never seen a monster." Huang Yao was startled and explained quickly. But the explanation was really pale.
"Well, just don't ask random questions." Gu Xingshi nodded naturally, "The demon clan is the enemy of our human beings. If everyone doubts you, Baixi Village may not be able to take you in."
"But don't you suspect that I am a monster?" Huang Yao was puzzled and couldn't help asking.
"You are my life-saving benefactor. It's too late for monsters to eat people, how could they save people?" Gu Xingshi laughed, "Besides, monsters will not be slapped away by a black bear. Compared with real monsters, Brother Huan, you are weaker."
The yellow badger had a black line on his head and stared at Xiao Zhengtai fiercely.
He was actually despised by a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall.
...
After waiting for a while, a barking sounded suddenly outside the room.
"Wow, wool, wool, wool!"
Hearing this voice, Gu Xingshi's eyes lit up: "It's the village chief's grandfather who is back."
Sure enough, after a moment, I saw an old man with a hunched back walking in slowly. He was wearing a small silk jacket and a round hat on his head. His eyes were narrowed to a slit, and he could hardly see his eyes.
He was leaning on a chubby dragon head crutch in his hand, and there was a big wooden tumor on the head of the crutch, as if the dragon head had a double chin, which was quite funny. There was a rope tied to the dragon head, and the other end of the rope extended to the old man's back - there was an extremely powerful black dog tied there, just like a yellow badger staring at the enemy, barking constantly!
"Cough cough..." The old white-bearded man coughed twice, squinted his eyes and looked up and down at the yellow badger. He didn't know if he could see him even if he was so small. "Are you the young man from outside the village they mentioned?"
"Uh... Hello, village chief, I..." Huang Yao was interrupted by a wild barking as soon as he spoke.
"Wow, wool, wool, wool!"
As a demon, the yellow badger could easily feel the hostility in the roar and couldn't help but glar at the big black dog.
"I guess Xiao Shitou told you that when I came to see me, it was actually a formality. If you were really a monster, my crutch would react as soon as you entered the village." The village elder was very kind and stroked his beard and said, "As soon as my crutch reacts, the immortal cultivator will arrive in a short time, and the monster will naturally die! So, monsters are not so courageous to come and make trouble... But rules are rules, young man, don't mind."
"Woof, woof, woof!" The big black dog barked even more fiercely.
"Grandpa, the village chief, Huang Huan is a refugee from the west. He has been in exile in the mountains for several months, but he is very skilled and even blind bears can run away." Gu Xingshi happily saw that the village chief recognized Huang Yaoqian and said, "You can arrange a place for him. When uncles and uncles are gone, Brother Huang Yaoqian and I can go to the mountains to hunt together so that everyone can eat meat."
"Woops, wows, wows!" The big black dog squirted all over the floor, barking so hard that he was almost epilepsy.
"Okay. It's such a hero." The village chief nodded with a smile, "I'll arrange a residence for you now."
"Woom wool wool..."
"Wangcai, shut up!"
