Chapter four hundred and fiftieth eight winter visitors
After traveling all the way east day and night, they returned to the Bronze Gate for the rest of their lives.
The scattered stones and broken walls of the statue are still there, and the city is no longer as majestic as it was when it first arrived.
The giant ax and shield on the high platform have disappeared. For spiritual beings, coming and going is normal, and the rest of their lives are not surprising.
Only then did Yu Sheng remember to ask about the origin of the sword bone on his body.
Aunt Qing said without changing her expression: "Your mother snatched it from the Central Plains and gave it to you."
Thinking of the suffering she would endure for the rest of her life, she said sincerely: "Your mother is also doing it for your own good. She hopes that her son will succeed, and that..."
"Why do you hope that your son will become a dragon? I am a dragon." Yu Sheng interrupted Aunt Qing. As for the pain caused by the sword bone, Yu Sheng, who was missing the root and tendons, had long forgotten.
The only thing he cares about now is how to use his right hand for his own use.
"What kind of dragon? It's just a little dragon." Recently, my aunt took pleasure in beating him for the rest of her life. "Be careful when it grows a tail."
Yu Sheng subconsciously touched his butt, and said not to be outdone: "I am a little dragon, so your daughter is a little dragon."
Aunt Qing, who couldn't fight with words, could only make Yu Sheng surrender with actions, and chased her all the way out.
Following the road they came from, a few days later the two of them returned to the canyon where they first entered.
However, they did not return along the cave with the shadow monster, but came to a mountain stream via the road out of Taotie.
The grass and trees in the mountain streams were withering. When I flew to the top of the mountain, Yu Sheng saw that the mountains had unknowingly changed their colors to red or yellow, and flowers were blooming one after another on each mountain.
The mountain stream is a little far away from where the mountain god is.
The two flew northeast for two days before finding the mountain god's shrine.
The surviving people were safe and sound. After Yu Sheng left, there was no shadow to cause trouble again.
After hearing that the shadow came from a bottomless cave and could not be eradicated for the rest of their lives, the people knew that they could no longer live here.
However, Yu Sheng found a good place for them, which was the mountain stream they met after leaving the cave.
There are no monsters around the mountain stream, and the bronze gate can be protected. With the opening of the trade route, the village will soon regain its vitality.
After staying at the shrine for three days and arranging everything, Yu Sheng and his aunt took the three-legged bird and embarked on the return journey.
…
Late autumn has passed, and the chill of winter has enveloped the town.
Standing on the attic and looking around, the fields have become a single color, and the waves of the lake are no longer there, as if they are frozen.
Fortunately, before winter came, the houses of the people in the town were built and now they have moved in, so they don’t have to worry about being cold.
The newly built houses in the town were proposed by Yu Sheng, and the city lord's palace hired someone to coordinate the planning. The appearance of the new houses in the town is not much different from the Huizhou architecture in the previous life.
As for the inside, in addition to the patio, other changes have been made according to the needs of the villagers, such as adding a flat roof for drying on the three-story roof.
These houses are compactly built on both sides of the east-west avenue. Under the warm sunshine, they are all white walls and black tiles, adding a beautiful scenery to the dull winter.
In addition, the city main temple and the agricultural god's temple are built on the south and north sides of the center of the town. The city main temple is slightly larger and the agricultural god's temple is slightly smaller.
Between them is a square and an old locust tree. Outside the front door of the inn, it has become a place for villagers to chat.
As for Yu Sheng's inn, it is still the same as before. There is no sign of groundbreaking for the big inn planned by Yu Sheng.
However, Taotie's skull has been placed opposite the stone bridge at the intersection leading to Xishan Avenue.
Taotie's head is so big that it can be placed at the entrance of the Yusheng Inn at the intersection, and it will not be a problem for a sports car to drive around.
It looked so hideous and terrifying in the pale sunlight that any monster would have to change its route if it saw it. Even the black cat and the police chief brother were not willing to play there.
The only thing that likes to spin around in the bones is the dog, which makes the black girl have to be on guard at all times to prevent it from chewing the bones off.
Leaving gluttons outside the inn also has the advantage of being a deterrent.
Now all the guests who stay overnight in the inn are honest after seeing the corpses and hearing that Taotie was killed by Yu Sheng.
The north wind blows loudly, cutting people's faces like a knife.
The streets of the town were deserted, and everyone was hiding in their homes.
There are no people on the East-West Avenue, and few pedestrians will rush on the road in such cold weather.
Of course, it's not like there's nothing wrong with it. A group of guests checked in at the inn yesterday.
After serving the livestock, Bai Gaoxing opened the heavy curtain and walked in. He kicked away the lazy rich man and sat down by the fire.
"The shopkeeper is out in the open, won't he freeze?" Gao Xing said, rubbing his hands.
"Don't worry, with the temperament of the shopkeeper, he will never be able to survive the cold. He is a member of the same team after all." Ye Zigao fiddled with the winter potatoes roasting next to the stove.
Winter potatoes are a type of potato unique to the wilderness. They are delicious and extremely hungry. People often dig these potatoes to feed themselves in the winter before winter.
The only bad thing is that if you eat too much of this food, you will inevitably emit some foul-smelling gas.
Fu Nan had different opinions on Ye Zigao's words, "What's wrong with the dragon people? A dragon is frozen like this." He pointed at the black girl who huddled up into a ball.
The black girl was wearing a blanket made of gluttonous leather, and her whole body was huddled together next to the brazier.
Hearing Fu Nan talking about herself, Hei Niu popped her head out of the blanket and said displeasedly: "What are you looking at? Who said that dragons are not afraid of the cold?"
No one dared to contradict her.
Now Hei Niu is very angry, because when they were choosing who to go to the Star Reaching Tower, everyone except Hei Niu chose Cao'er.
A month ago, Po Meng said goodbye to everyone. She decided to return to Dushuo Mountain and the ghost town she built.
Bai was happy that they had no reason to keep her, so they could only bid her farewell and embark on her return journey, and then choose someone to take charge of the overall situation in Zhaixing Tower.
Thanks to Cao'er's saving lives in the inn and his low profile, he finally stood out and went to the city.
The reason why he didn't choose the black girl was because everyone knew that she would definitely be a thief. To let the shopkeepers know that they chose her, they would have to skin them.
In such a comparison, Cao'er's bad arithmetic is nothing.
In the past few months, the inn has made a lot of money by selling wine and gluttonous meat. You can imagine how angry the black girl was when she lost the opportunity to count the money.
"Tell me, when the shopkeeper comes back, should we change our names?" Ye Zigao picked up the winter potatoes, took a look at them, and threw them back into the brazier.
"Why are you going to call the shopkeeper's little dragon? I will never stop you." Bai Xingxin took a sip of the cannon and lit the lamp.
Cannon-made lamps are also in short supply now. In the severe cold winter, this is simply a good medicine to keep out the cold.
No, as soon as Bai Gaoxing finished speaking, Li Zheng opened the door curtain and came in to get a drink.
Guaizai and Hu Muyuan stopped behind the counter and exchanged words with each other. After taking the wine gourd, Hu Muyuan went to the back to get some drinks.
"It's not the little dragon man, it's that one..." Ye Zigao reminded him, "The city lord and shopkeeper have been away for a few months, and they may have brought back their lives when they come back."
"It's only been a few months, and you've laid an egg." Fu Nan finally understood, "But your son might be an egg, haha."
Bai Gaoxing followed up and laughed.
Ye Zi was so angry that he was about to argue when Li Zheng, who took the wine gourd, said, "You guys have been lazy all day long, hurry up, there are guests outside."
"Guests?" Bai Gaoxing stopped, "Is there anyone rushing on this cold and windy day?"
"I saw it when I came in. It must be fake." Li Zheng said.
Bai Gaoxing and Ye Zigao went out and saw a group of people walking towards the bridge.
