There are rumors that the souls of people killed by hungry tigers will turn into ghosts. They often pretend to be ordinary people, pretending to guide the lost people on the road, and then sacrifice passers-by to the tiger, in compliance with the old saying: to be the tiger's puppet.
Xia Ze threw the two clouds of mist into the talisman, and then said with a harmless smile: "Hey brother, I didn't expect that the ancestral talisman left by our grandfather is really useful!"
The corner of He Xu's mouth twitched, but he quickly reacted and threw himself into Xia Ze's arms with a whoop, matching his performance: "Brother, I'm afraid of ghosts, it's so scary!"
Everyone present lamented the poor acting skills.
All the wealthy businessmen, if they were granted amnesty, took back the extorted silver coins one after another. The bodies left behind by the two officers-looking ghosts melted into the ground with a snap.
However, Xia Ze quickly noticed that many unfriendly eyes were focused on his talisman. Many people were eyeing such a talisman that could subdue demons and eliminate demons. However, due to the large number of people, it was difficult to do anything.
That’s all.
"Hey, little brother, the road is not easy to walk at night. Let's walk together. It's good to have company on the road." The young man came over and without waiting for Xia Ze's response, he put his arm around his shoulders.
"You've exposed yourself too much. I'm afraid you might get into trouble. My master and my lady asked me to protect you." He whispered.
"My name is Xu Xiuzhu, how about you, little brother?" When Xu Xiuzhu announced his name, he seemed to raise his voice a few times to let the people around him hear.
"My name is He Ze." Xia Ze said.
"My name is He Xu"
The escort chiefs and merchants who were about to move around gradually fell silent and concentrated on their way.
"Little brother, looking at your steady breathing and light steps, you are obviously a practicing martial artist. Are you a martial artist?" Xu Xiuzhu asked as he walked.
Xia Ze nodded: "In the early years when the family was still in decline, I studied with the martial arts hired by my family for a few years. It's just that I have poor qualifications, I'm stupid, and I don't have a good foundation in martial arts. I'm only at the second level."
Xu Xiuzhu took a look at Xia Zeqifu and found that what he said was indeed the truth, so he gradually believed that he was an honest young man with a big heart and an honest heart. He sighed silently: "Little brother, in the future, you have to be careful when you go around the world.
Give everything you have to others and give it to others. You must know that you should only speak a few words to others when you meet them, and don’t throw everything away.”
Xia Ze smiled: "Brother Xu is a good person. Besides, I only have the second level. If Brother Xu wants to harm me, why bother to save me in front of everyone."
Xu Xiuzhu was a little embarrassed, and then patted the young man on the shoulder: "Who says he is an idiot? His understanding is pretty good."
He saw He Xu riding on the white donkey and wanted to tease him, so he said: "Hey little kid, you are not as tall as a donkey, yet you go on a long trip with your brother? You look good as a donkey, little mule"
The meat must be very fragrant when cooked over fire, why don't you give me a price and sell it to me?"
He Xu rolled his eyes: "Do you care? My donkey is my good brother and I won't sell it."
Arriving at the sedan chair, Xu Xiuzhu introduced one by one that his master, Lu Yixiang, was a six-level martial artist. He was a well-known escort leader in this area. With his seven-foot spear, he had gained the reputation of being invincible within seven feet.
All the escort agencies around here have to give him three points of thin noodles.
Yan Yingluo, Miss Yan family, this time the head of the Yan family died of illness. In order to prevent Yan Yingluo from holding a big funeral under various names after his death and falling into the tragic end of being exterminated, we specially spent a lot of money to hire a
In Lu Yixiang, Master Xu Xiuzhu and his apprentice took all their wealth after selling their ancestral home and went to Qingshen County to join Yan Yingluo's grandmother.
Xu Xiuzhu looked at Yan Yingluo with a sad look on his face. A sharp-eyed bearer immediately picked up the clue, and immediately cursed: "Xu Xiuzhu, you are still here trying to eat swan meat. My lady has an appointment with a matchmaker."
You are here to marry into a wealthy family in a big sedan chair. How can you, a martial artist from all over the world who is neither high nor low, be worthy of your wishful thinking? "
Xu Xiuzhu's face turned red when someone told him what he was thinking, and he glared at the four bearers fiercely. In the end, he said nothing and walked alone at the front of the team, his back looking a little lonely.
Just as Yan Yingluo was about to get off the sedan chair, she was stopped by the bearer: "Miss, it's windy on this mountain. Miss, please don't catch the wind and cold. Madam blames you. We servants can't afford to stop you."
"
She was a little angry and said, "Can't I go down and relieve myself?"
"Miss, please be patient. There are so many snakes, insects, rats, and ants on this mountain. They will all be bitten if you don't pay attention. It's in the wilderness, but it's not easy to deal with." The bearer smiled softly.
When Yan Yingluo saw that the bearer was trying to make things difficult for her, she angrily lifted the curtain and sat back in the sedan.
Xia Ze is not the kind of person who likes to listen to gossip, but He Xu has no such scruples. He hooked his little hands and asked, "Grandpa Lu, does Brother Xu like Sister Yan?"
Seeing how cute the baby was, Lu Yixiang put on a straight face and pretended to be angry: "Big baby, what do you know? Just ask around."
He Xu shook his head: "I have two jars of good wine here. If you tell me, I will let you take a sip."
Lu Yixiang laughed loudly: "What kind of good wine is so powerful?"
He Xu took out a jar from the basket, opened the stopper, and protected the mouth of the jar with his hands. In the heavy rain, the aroma of the wine floated far away.
Lu Yixiang shook the wine gourd on the tip of the gun. There was not much left, and he asked doubtfully: "Just one sip?"
He Xu nodded: "Yeah, just one bite, but you have to say it first."
"My disciple's parents died when he was young, so he traveled with me all over the world when he was very young. Yan Yatou's father asked me to act as escort all the year round, and he got to know me very well. As time went by, they became playmates, secretly developing feelings for each other, no matter how natural
but."
Lu Yixiang took the wine jar, raised his head and took a big sip, but this sip was like a waterfall flowing down. In the blink of an eye, most of the wine fell into his mouth without leaking a drop.
He Xu jumped up anxiously and wanted to snatch the jar of wine: "Grandpa Lu, you've promised me a sip, you're cheating!"
Lu Yixiang burped from the wine, his face turned red, and he returned the wine jar to Hexu: "I drank most of it, so it doesn't hurt to tell you more, otherwise you will always say that I am bullying you because of my age."
"If Yan Yatou's father hadn't died young, I would have come to propose marriage for my disciple. But now the plan can't keep up with the change. Yan Yatou's grandmother, no matter what, will take her over and take her with her and return her to her.
We have made a marriage agreement with a well-matched family."
"Brother Xu must be feeling very sad, right?" He Xu asked.
The old man sat on the horse and sighed: "It's hard to be sad, but what can I do? Those who travel in the world will always encounter some involuntary sorrows. There is still a long way to go, and sooner or later you have to adapt."
