Chapter nine hundred and eighty sixth water chestnut
The next day, it was cloudy.
After leaving Yangzhou City and walking north for less than half an hour, the main road no longer existed.
They were walking on the narrow path. Zhou Jiufeng said: "To the north, surrounded by mountains, few caravans take this path, so this is the only path for villagers to travel and sell products from the mountains to the city."
The Jinyiwei are quite familiar with these trails. They often take this trail when tracking monsters.
Yu Sheng brought Fu Nan, Ye Zi Gao, and Gou Zi from the inn. It was the first time that their Ghost Suppression Division handled a case, and everyone was involved.
Hu's mother was also far away. The monster was using his appearance to deceive her, so of course he had to follow him and catch the monster.
Also traveling with him were Chu Ci and Zhou Jiuzhang, who were accepted by Yu Sheng as non-staff members of the Ghost Suppression Department.
"Our Ghost Suppression Department is a grassroots team. Except for me, we are all crooked people who are looking for you to show off." Yu Sheng said.
"Go", Hu Muyuan despised Yu Sheng, looking like that, she had the nerve to say that she was not a crooked melon.
"Why are you grinning? What I said is wrong?" Yu Sheng sat on the back of a donkey, "You are now a suspect and are not included in our team."
"What's more, it's not good to be handsome. It will cause some trouble for no reason." Yu Sheng said.
Mother Hu stopped talking. He was wearing a strange veil at the moment, and this trip was burdened by this skin.
Ye Zigao couldn't refute Yu Sheng's words.
For no other reason than he ran to the woods to take a break. This was the first time he had gone to take a break.
His adverse reaction came out today: frequent urination.
Although Fu Nan has a low IQ, he also knows that he cannot argue with Yu Sheng about being handsome right now.
Because his face is now swollen like a pig's head, not just his face, but his whole body is swollen.
Yu Sheng even felt that they didn't need to bring water to drink. "When you are thirsty, you can just stab the rich and difficult."
Zhou Jiufeng, who was looking in front, heard Yu Sheng's evaluation of his team.
She glanced back at Yu Sheng's team and said, "How about we switch? You give me your crooked melon and split date, and I give you the next team of royal guards. I only need one to manage the entire Yangzhou City."
Keep everything in order so monsters can't cause chaos."
"Who in our team is so good?" Ye Zi stood up and said.
Zhou Jiufeng glanced at Ye Zigao disdainfully, "I'm talking about Gouzi, the most crooked one."
As long as Gouzi is there, Qiongqi will be there, and if Qiongqi is in another city, he can at least steal the title of the city lord.
Qiongqi also felt that the only unwise thing he did in his life was offending Shopkeeper Yu.
"Woof woof", the dog grinned dissatisfiedly at Zhou Jiufeng.
Qiongqi also defended his master, "The dog doesn't dislike you for being fat, but you think it's ugly."
They continued forward, and within half a quarter of an hour they heard the sound of gurgling water.
"Ouch, I can't do it anymore," Ye Zigao stopped his horse again, "I have to make it easier."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man fell off his horse and disappeared into the dense and green woods.
"Hey, let me tell you," Yu Sheng shouted to him, "your kidneys are so weak?"
Several people laughed unkindly. Ye Zigao had just gotten rid of kidney deficiency not long ago, and now he is suffering from kidney deficiency again.
"So, fake medicine is harmful to people." Yu Sheng sighed.
They were waiting where they were, and Chu Ci asked, "Why didn't Bai Gaoxing come?"
"Don't mention it," Yu Sheng said.
Yesterday, Bai Gaoxing was helping Dahan She get the coffin board that flew up into the sky and then fell down, embedded in an old locust tree, when he accidentally got hit on his arm.
"Now I'm getting paid to recuperate, and I'm going to the middle wasteland to seduce the Thousand-faced Demon Fox. My life is very comfortable," Yu Sheng said.
Ye Zigao came back, took over the conversation and continued: "I'm glad that this kid got a bargain. That's a thousand-faced demon fox. Let her become whatever she likes in the future. Life is like a fairy."
"Well, don't be envious. Let's take care of your kidneys first." Yu Sheng said.
Everyone started laughing again, it seemed that for a while, Ye Zigao couldn't get rid of the nickname of Young Master with Kidney Deficiency.
After going up a hill and bypassing a forest, a pond appeared in front of it, covered with shiny green water chestnut leaves.
Across the pond is a village.
In front of the village, near the pond, a platform is built with green stones that is half a height higher than the pond. Along this platform is a long street.
The street is semicircular and surrounds the pond.
On the opposite side of the street are the low houses where the villagers live.
"This is Qiantang Village." Zhou Jiufeng said.
When they came to the pond, they saw a little shepherd boy sitting on a curved tree root protruding from the old tree on the bank, peeling off water chestnuts leisurely. The shepherd's flute was put aside.
The old buffalo is drinking water.
At this time, the sky was covered with clouds, it was about to rain, and the wind was picking up, bringing a bit of coolness to the summer.
The shepherd boy's movements were very skillful.
He grabbed the two waist corners of the water chestnut and broke it, and the white ingot-shaped water chestnut meat came out. A touch of elegant light red spread on the thin layer of underwear. He threw the water chestnut meat into his mouth and chewed it.
There is no tender dregs, and it is so delicious that it will make Yu Sheng drool uncontrollably.
At the feet of the shepherd boy, there were already many diamond shells on the water.
He was so absorbed in eating that it wasn't until Yu Sheng and the others came near that they noticed the group of people.
He raised his head, his black and white eyes full of curiosity, and his mouth kept chewing.
"What..." Yu Sheng was about to ask for some water chestnuts to eat, but was interrupted by the shepherd boy.
"Are you Jinyiwei?" the shepherd boy shouted out in surprise.
"When I grow up, I want to be a royal guard, to subjugate demons and fight monsters!" The shepherd boy happily jumped to the shore.
"What's so good about Jinyiwei? Boy, as long as you share the remaining water chestnuts with us, the door of our Ghost Suppression Department will always be open to you. To be honest, our Ghost Suppression Department is the elite among Jinyiwei." Yu Sheng said.
Zhou Jiufeng despised Yu Sheng: "Don't teach bad children. Look at your ghost suppression department. Is there any normal one?"
"Kidney deficiency, pig head, ugly", Zhou Jiufeng finally pointed at Yu Sheng, "the second generation who entered the Ghost Suppression Department through the back door."
"My child, Jinyiwei is more suitable for you." Zhou Jiufeng said to the shepherd boy.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, we also have a handsome and irrational guy." Yu Sheng pulled Hu Mu away, "He is also from our Ghost Suppression Department."
"Don't mention me, I'm a suspect." Hu's mother waved her hand hurriedly.
"Stop talking nonsense, you are worthless. You come and go when you call me." Yu Sheng held Hu Mu away to establish a good image of the Ghost Suppression Division.
The shepherd boy had never heard of the Ghost Suppression Division, so he thought they were bad people for the rest of his life.
"Please eat some water chestnuts." The shepherd boy grabbed a handful of water chestnuts with great respect and handed them to Zhou Jiufeng and others in brocade clothes. "Are they the bad guys you caught?"
"Hey, you will never be better than me in this world..."
Before Yu Sheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Jiufeng, "Yes, they are bad people, especially this one..." Zhou Jiufeng pointed at Yu Sheng, "He locked up the city lord, bullied the city lord all day long, refused to let the city lord drink, and even made the city lord
Give him a child."
"Ha", the shepherd boy was shocked, and the meat from the corner of his mouth dropped from the taste.
He looked at Yu Sheng up and down in horror, and then cried "Wow", "The city lord has been arrested, wow..."
In the hearts of the shepherd boys, the city lord is the sky that protects them from being bullied by monsters and ghosts. Now that the city lord is arrested, the sky is falling.
Now the culprit Zhou Jiufeng also panicked.
"Hey, don't cry." She looked at Yu Sheng at a loss. "Look, you're scaring the child to tears."
"No, I..." After suffering such a disaster for the rest of his life, he didn't know what to say for a while.
