Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 79: Bi Huan with Red Sleeves
Shanhai and the others followed the small group of riders and arrived at their station.
It is easy to tell from their dress that they are nomads who live in this grassland. Some of their fabrics and patterns are somewhat similar to Qinglize’s style. In addition, there are other distinctive features
Decoration and craftsmanship may have been influenced by the town's proximity to the prairie.
But the residents of these grasslands are not enthusiastic. The eyes looking at these outsiders are full of unspeakable hostility - perhaps not to mention hostility. It is enough that they do not stab them seriously with the spear in their hands.
Face. Their language is not much different from Mandarin, but there are indeed some accents that are hard to understand.
Following the previous man into the densely packed camp, Shi Wuqi lowered his voice and said to them:
"Something is wrong."
"Why?" Shan Hai responded softly, "Such a xenophobic situation is normal."
"No, that's not the case. I once heard those monsters say that the people in Biliyuan are simple and hospitable, but now..."
"Times will change."
Aluan answered this. The person leading the way turned around and glared at them fiercely, signaling them to be quiet. They came to the center and largest tent. Before entering, someone searched them to determine if they had any weapons.
.A whisk, an umbrella, a fan, a sword made of wood...it is indeed not dangerous.
I guess so.
"Chief," he opened the curtain, "it was our fault that allowed the abominable monster to escape. We met a few people who claimed to be travelers. Their identities were suspicious, and they have been brought here!"
It sounded like they were escorting felons, which was really unpleasant. But in an obviously unfavorable situation, they still walked in with their heads lowered and saluted everyone inside.
After that, Shan Hai raised his head and looked directly at the man called the patriarch who sat in the center. Based on his appearance alone, they could not tell his age. They only thought he had a weather-beaten face, covered with fine wrinkles, and his skin color was older than
The young man was much darker, like cracked pottery. He had a thick black beard hanging on his face, which made him look very fierce, but his face was soft and his smile was kind. His body was also much stronger, and he seemed to be stamping his feet.
The earth can also tremble three times.
"Okay. You can go out first." His voice was as deep as a bell.
"Resign first."
The young man raised his hands, bowed slightly, and walked out of the tent.
Except for Miss Qi, the other four people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say. After a long silence, the clan leader walked around the low table and walked up to them and started chatting with them.
"Don't be nervous. That's what Hu Yanyi's kid is like. Although he is fierce, he doesn't mean any harm."
He was probably talking about the young man who led the way just now, the rider who took the lead before. Shanhai nodded slightly and said it didn't matter.
"Then...can we go? We still have something to do." Shi Wuqi raised his thumb and gestured towards the door.
"Sorry, we can't do that right now. After all, we don't know where the travelers are from yet."
Mu Wan didn't want to waste time here. She took a step forward and introduced them one by one quickly.
"This Taoist priest, Lin Shanhai, and his disciple Dai Luan are all from Dai Luan City. Shi Wu Qi is from Xuan Chong Town. I am a disciple of Xue Yan Sect in Xue Yan Valley. Okay, do you have any other questions?
"
"Hiss—" the clan leader frowned, and the furrow on his face deepened, "You guys are... quite far away? And it's weirdly scattered."
"It's a long story." Shan Hai felt a little bit embarrassed, "But... I think none of us have anything to do with the wolf demon you are chasing."
"Do you know it's a wolf demon? Hu Yanyi told you? This child..."
"Not really." Shi Wuqi shrugged, "We saw it ourselves."
The patriarch didn't speak, he just walked back and forth in the tent and paced in front of them. He kept frowning and looked worried, and his slightly weathered face seemed like it would crack and peel off a layer of skin in the next second.
Shan Hai probed cautiously: "Why are you chasing that wolf monster? Is it hunting, or...has it ever harmed your people?"
Hearing this, the patriarch's back paused. He froze there for a while, then turned around, walked around them, raised the curtain, and motioned for them to come closer. A few people were a little strange, but they still walked forward slowly.
, to see what he wanted to say. The clan leader pointed to the tent next door. That tent was also very large, comparable to the size here. Hu Yanyi stayed between the two places, and when he saw the clan leader, he waved to him again.
"Over there is my beloved daughter."
No one dared to answer, they didn’t know what he meant. Only Dai Luan asked stupidly:
"Are you injured? We heard from the man..."
"Yes. That damn wolf demon is very cunning. Not long ago, he evaded the guards, sneaked into our camp, and bit the princess."
"Aren't you going to stay with her?" Mu Wan felt strange, "If I get sick, I will feel at ease if my parents are by my side."
The patriarch put down the curtain and shook his head.
"I and Hu Yanyi chased me for a long time, always circling this area. It knew we wanted to kill it, and it provoked us, but we couldn't catch it. Until the middle of the night, Hu Yanyi was worried about my health and my daughter.
, asked me to go back and see her, and he continued to look for her. When I came back, the doctor of the clan said that she was poisoned by the wolf demon's saliva, and she was afraid that her life was in danger... When I saw her, she lost her heart and didn't even care.
I know me. Now, she is afraid of light, water, wind, and everything. She trembles from time to time and bites whoever she catches. I really can’t get close to her... Only last night, someone found traces of the old wolf again, Hu Yan
Yicai led his team to chase him all night long."
Dai Luan listened for a long time and seemed to get some clues.
"Could it be hydrophobia? This symptom will appear if you are bitten by a mad dog or wolf. And sometimes, the disease does not show up at the time, and it will take several days to go crazy. And this disease is almost non-existent - ugh!
"
Shi Wuqi reached out with one hand from behind and covered Aluan's mouth. Like everyone else, he didn't want to tell the truth just because he angered the boss.
The patriarch shook his head, as if he didn't think what she said was too much.
"The little girl is right. I thought it was this kind of disease at first sight. But the three doctors tried several kinds of medicines, all of which were bought from the city or merchants to treat the disease, but they didn't work."
"This is not possible. This disease cannot be delayed." Mu Wan was also a little nervous, "Why not send her to a nearby town quickly and ask a local doctor to treat her? They have a lot of medicinal materials, maybe there is a way."
"Don't go!"
The patriarch, who had a soft voice just now, suddenly shouted harshly, and everyone trembled. He seemed to realize his gaffe, coughed slightly, and adjusted his emotions.
"Impossible, I don't want my daughter to be touched by these people from the Central Plains. It's these bastards who almost made me lose my child a few years ago! How dare they kidnap the princess, do they really not take us seriously?
!”
Before he said a few words, his tone became fierce again, which made them lose their breath. After hearing this, Shi Wuqi understood why their attitude towards outsiders had become so... indifferent.
Through the thick curtain, Shanhai looked in the direction of the princess.
"I'm sorry, I haven't asked you yet, how do you call me——and your beloved?"
"It's not important." The patriarch waved his hand, "I can't let you foreigners know my name for the time being. It's just that my daughter has a Chinese name, given by a Central Plains person, called Taji. The general meaning is, like
She must be the princess of the prairie."
"Wolf..." Aluan was still thinking, "Logically speaking, how can a wolf demon be poisonous?"
"The wolf is blue-gray, a little suspicious." Shi Wuqi continued.
"I guess it came from Qinglize - I don't know if it was a plague or something else, which harmed all the creatures in our grassland. It seems to be something called the Death Shadow Pavilion, and the monster's pavilion master is thinking about it day and night.
Expand their territory!"
I always feel that there is some misunderstanding. But several of them feel that there is no need to explain. And hearing what the clan leader said proves that they also know very little about the Death Shadow Pavilion. Even the real master of the pavilion is not sure.
Who——the one they knew might be the snake demon that everyone mistakenly thought.
But speaking of it, they did not see the monster named She Ji when they were in Qinglize. Gao Yuejun said that he was not here and did not know where he went. But for the moment, this issue is not important.
No matter where the wolf demon is, Princess Tartar's life is in danger. It is something that everyone knows but can't do anything about. If the patriarch can not be so stubborn, there may be a way. But once the disease occurs, the treatment period is very short.
We had to hurry up and find a way. The camp fell into a brief silence, but it didn't last long before a woman's scream came over. Even though it was separated by two layers of tents, the sound was still very harsh. There was some chaos outside, and many people
The princess who came here seemed to want to help them.
The patriarch grabbed his head in pain and pulled his beard again, as if to vent his anger. Not long after, he suddenly opened the tent door and rushed out, shouting to the chaotic crowd:
"No matter who it is, as long as I can cure my daughter's madness, I will marry my beloved daughter to him!"
Several people were stunned, and the people outside were also stunned. Everything suddenly became quiet again, only the girl's hysterical screams continued. Hu Yanyi looked straight at the clan leader, then at Tarji's tent, clenching his fists
, the eyes are a little red.
After a while, someone came out of the tent and reported breathlessly to the clan leader:
"The brothers really had no choice but to find ropes to tie her up... It's really offensive! If you think it's inappropriate, I will..."
"That's it." The clan leader sighed deeply.
"You..." the man asked softly, "Is what you just said true?"
“Once a man makes his word, it’s hard to chase him back!”
The girl's screaming voice gradually became lowered, and the noisy yet silent feeling came over again. Hu Yanyi frowned, with a complex expression on his face, as if he had thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't say them.
