Chapter 8 Inquiring about the news
In this way, the village chief arranged a very simple thatched hut for the yellow badger at the entrance of the village. It is said that it used to be a donkey panther - and later the donkey died.
Huang Yao then realized that the village chief was really a bit of a dark-hearted potential. On the surface, he looked kind and enthusiastic. He agreed to arrange a residence for him, but in fact he was very stingy. He saw with his own eyes that there were several bright empty rooms next to the village chief’s house, and the old guy never mentioned this.
Fortunately, Brother Badger doesn’t care about this detail. He is used to sleeping in caves, and it’s natural that it’s nothing to be a simple hut.
Besides, he didn't want to live next door to the village chief, and he looked up and saw him. In front of the dragon-headed crutch, Brother Badger always felt uncomfortable... Moreover, the village chief's house also had a nervous big black dog, Wangcai.
As soon as the village chief left, the yellow badger immediately looked around, then quietly closed the door and took out the Snake Queen's scales.
It's time to report to the Snake Queen.
It was still a ball of black mist gathered into graceful shadows. The yellow badger respectfully held the scales, his face was sore, and told the Snake Queen all the news he had heard.
"Report to the king, the young man found the aura of the eldest young master in Baixi Village... Some villagers said that a monster was indeed captured by a cultivator a few days ago... By the way, the villagers were all warned that other demons might come to inquire about the news in the near future. So the young man didn't dare to ask more questions for the time being..."
The black fog shadow didn't say anything, but his chest was rising and falling violently. Even through the scales, the yellow badger could feel the depression that end, like a volcano was about to erupt.
"Check!" After a while, Shadow finally spoke hoarsely, "Continue to check! I want to know what the person who caught Lin'er is from!"
Huang Yao opened his mouth, and he wanted to say that he didn't dare to ask too much. Once his identity is exposed... How could he resist the master who can even capture the great master?
"I don't care what method you use, I must ask the villagers of Baixi Village what happened and Lin'er's whereabouts! And it's fast!" The Snake Queen's voice was biting.
Yellow Badger closed his mouth tactfully...bargained with her on the angrily head of the snake queen? He was not that stupid yet.
I have to... I can only bite the bullet and go.
After a few more conversations, the shadow turned into black fog and dissipated. The yellow badger then sighed and pushed the door out.
The yellow badger walked around the village and found that most people were busy with their own affairs, such as sewing clothes, placing soles, washing cotton jackets, and drying corn... Some women polished wooden arrow shafts back and forth on the stones to prepare supplies for the next "trade business trip".
For some reason, most people have a faint worry on their faces.
The yellow badger's ears moved, and his keen hearing as a demon made him capture the topics people were talking about...
It turned out that according to the usual rules, the business team should have returned several days ago, but this time it has not returned for a long time, which inevitably makes the elderly, weak, women and children in the village worry.
Moreover, as a village surrounded by mountains, the people of Baixi Village have always focused on hunting and farming as a supplement. Now that winter is coming, the crops are not harvested, and the young and strong men who can hunt have gone to business again, so the food source in the village has become a big problem.
Originally, if the caravan returned on time, this embarrassment could be alleviated in time, but this time, the caravan was reluctant to return and the food in the village was in a hurry.
Huang Badger shrugged, but didn't care at all. As a demon, what does human life and death have to do with him?
What he cares about is how to ask about the whereabouts of the eldest son.
I wanted to ask Xiaoshoutagu Xingshi, but the boy didn't know where he was going, so Huang Badger had to wander around aimlessly... Finally, he locked in the little girl who was sucking her fingers and playing with mud at the entrance of the village.
As a child, it must be easier to cheat!
After all, she is a little girl in the mountain village, and she is not as sculpted as jade. The little girl is wearing a rustic red cotton jacket, with muddy ideas on her trousers, and two braids. She is holding her fingers in her mouth and sucking, as if it is the most delicious lollipop.
The yellow badger slowly approached, and the little girl immediately stared at him alertly.
"Haha, little girl..." Huang Yao squatted down with a smile on his face, "I'll ask you something? That, I heard that a monster in the village was caught a few days ago?"
The little girl was stunned and forgot to suck her fingers even when she put them in her mouth.
"Monster, do you know? It's the kind that can eat people." Huang Badger continued to be tempted, "I haven't seen a monster yet. I'm very interested. Can you tell me the story of that monster being caught?"
Huang Badger thought that from his voice to his expression, he was harmless, and he was definitely the standard image of a kind and kind brother next door. Unexpectedly, the little girl seemed to be frightened, and her little butt sat on the ground all of a sudden, and she cried with a "wow"!
"Wuwuwu... The village chief grandfather said that the strangers who asked Niu Niu about this are all monsters and can eat Niu Niu..." The little girl retreated while crying.
"Uh..." The yellow badger's face twitched.
"Wow... your expression is so scary." The little girl cried even louder, got up and ran to the village, "Don't eat Niu Niu..."
"I...you..." The yellow badger watched the little girl running away with a dark face.
I cursed in my heart and knew that the village chief was not a good thing. Even if I brainwashed such a young child, wouldn’t I be afraid of scaring the children?
After a while, the yellow badger looked around and suddenly his eyes lit up. On the other side of the entrance of the village, the old man he had seen when he came was still squatting there, leisurely eating melon seeds and basking in the sun.
The old man seemed to have a little ear and his eyes were probably not very good. He didn't notice the scene between the Yellow Badger and the little girl just now.
Children are prone to fear, but being confused is always easier to deceive, right? The yellow badger rolled his eyes twice, then smiled and leaned over.
"Old man, are you basking in the sun?" Huang Yao had nothing to say.
The old man hummed twice, not commenting.
"That..." Huang Yao scratched his head and said with a smirk, "Have you heard that a monster was caught two days ago? This kind of thing is really strange... You are knowledgeable, can you tell me?"
The old man glanced at him, silently picked up the crutch on the ground, and stood up with his body.
Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!
He walked towards the village without looking back with a crutch.
"Hey?" Huang Yao was stunned and hurriedly followed two steps, "Don't leave, you, let me talk?"
Tada… The old man didn’t speak yet and walked faster.
"Hey, hey..." Huang Yaozhan was so anxious that he stomped his feet and snatched his hands on the ground. "Melon seeds, melon seeds are still here, don't you knock them?" He was about to chase after him.
Swish!
Now the old man threw away the crutch and walked away with his head silenced... that was so brisk! At this moment, the old man's back was no longer hunched, his back was straightened, and his legs were catching up with the Hot Wheels. It was not difficult to go to the sixth floor in one breath... The speed of the yellow badger probably wouldn't be able to catch up without using the demonic power!
