After being far away from that town, Cheng Baiyu felt more relaxed, but he was still a little scared.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"If you're so scared, why not practice your slingshot more and improve your accuracy."
Hearing what Ye Ming said, Cheng Baiyu greatly agreed. He took the slingshot and practiced while walking.
A stone hit the grass, and suddenly a child heard an "Oops" sound, and then he jumped out of the grass and said without hesitation:
"No, I wasn't lazy or sleeping!"
After shouting a few words, he found that the person who hit him with stones was an unknown person, and he was relieved.
"I was scared to death. It turns out he's not daddy."
As he said that, he put his hand on his hips and pointed the cattle whip at Cheng Baiyu with the other hand.
"Who are you and why did you hit me?"
Cheng Baiyu was a little embarrassed when he accidentally hit someone.
But before he could say anything, Ye Ming asked the child:
"What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm herding cows!"
"What about your cow?"
"Isn't the cow there...where is the cow, ah, where is the cow?"
The child suddenly became panicked and looked around, but there was no sign of the cow.
Ye Ming laughed and said:
"Someone wants to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots!"
Hearing this, the child looked frightened and looked around for the cow.
It was almost winter at this time, and the cattle were only grazing on hay. The children thought that it would be easy to find cattle in this season with a wide field of vision.
But after looking around, there was no trace of the cow.
This made him extremely anxious. After a while, he shed tears and searched for them while crying.
Cheng Baiyu had no interest in meddling in a child's affairs, so he urged Ye Ming to leave.
But Ye Ming seemed to have a childlike innocence, and followed the children to look for the cow.
Seeing this, Cheng Baiyu had no choice but to help find it.
I looked around and found no sign of cows.
The children were so anxious that they sat on the ground and broke down crying.
Ye Ming smiled and patted the child on the shoulder, comforting him with "kindness":
"If you can't find the cow, you will be hung up and beaten!"
When the child heard this, he cried even louder.
When Cheng Baiyu saw this, he was a little speechless. This man is really good at comforting people.
After crying for a while, the child stood up again and continued searching.
This time he looked for the hillside where he rarely went, but at a glance, he still couldn't see the cow.
Just when the child was a little desperate, Cheng Baiyu suddenly pointed at a large tunnel in the distance:
"There are traces of soil turning around there."
Hearing this, the child hurriedly ran forward to check.
Looking at it, I found that it was a big hole dug by an unknown hunter, but it was already abandoned.
At this time, there were three cows, two big and one small, standing in the pit.
The cow has a simple and honest nature, with rough skin and thick flesh. When it fell into the pit, it didn't fall, so it didn't scream.
If you can't get out of the big pit, you can only stand in the pit and chew the hay on the side.
When the child saw the cow, he cried with joy and cursed several times.
It's just that the cow is in a big pit and can't get out on its own, so it needs help.
Cheng Baiyu, a scholar, was unable to pull the cow out of the pit, so he suggested that the children go back and call the adults.
When the children heard this, they shook their heads repeatedly and did not dare to call the adults for fear of being beaten.
Seeing this, Cheng Baiyu didn't want to care anymore, so he pulled Ye Ming away.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Just go down and pick up the cow."
Hearing this, Cheng Baiyu waved his hand and said:
"How do I have this strength? It can't be done, it can't be done."
But Ye Ming took out a pill and flashed it in front of Cheng Baiyu's eyes.
"I have an elixir here. After taking it, you will have the power of nine cows and two tigers. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Elixir?"
When Cheng Baiyu heard this, his heart moved.
This madman is not an ordinary person, and what he brings out must not be ordinary either.
Cheng Baiyu took it without any hesitation and drank the "elixir".
After the pill entered his abdomen, Cheng Baiyu immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body. In an instant, his whole body seemed to be full of strength.
Just when he wanted to experience it in detail, he might as well kick Ye Ming behind him and directly kick her into the pit to keep company with the three cows.
"Brother Shanyuan, you..."
"What are you doing? After taking the medicine, it's time to work."
After Ye Ming said this, Cheng Baiyu also felt that his current condition was extremely good, so he wanted to give it a try.
He reached out to hug the bull next to him. Such a heavy bull was picked up directly by him.
When the child saw this, his eyes widened and he looked in disbelief.
Cheng Baiyu picked up the bull, and it didn't feel heavy at all. Instead, it felt very relaxed. With a strong step on his feet, it jumped out of the pit.
After putting the cow down, Cheng Baiyu looked at his arms and felt unreal.
But before he could express anything, he was kicked into the pit by Ye Ming again.
This time he had no complaints and took out the other two cows.
When the child saw the three cows coming out, he also laughed, and then stared at Ye Ming's cuffs.
He had just seen this man take out the elixir from his sleeve.
"God, can you give me one of your elixirs?"
Seeing the eager look on the child's face, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Okay, but I need something to change."
"What do you want?"
"I want one of your ears."
"ah!!!"
When the child heard this, he quickly covered his ears and shook his head.
When Cheng Baiyu saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. He thought the child would give up. Unexpectedly, after hesitating for a long time, the child suddenly said:
"God, can your elixir cure diseases? If so, I will give you ears."
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Then we have to see the patient first."
When the child heard this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"Okay, let's go home with me."
With that said, he packed up the woolen blanket he had slept on before and drove the cows in front, looking back at the night light from time to time, for fear that the gods would not be with him.
Ye Ming followed the child with a smile, crying and laughing, looking like a madman.
When Cheng Baiyu saw this, although he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he still followed.
All the way to a village, a child shouted from afar:
"Dad, I'm back, and I brought the gods back to help you cure your illness!"
Everyone in the village knew each other well, and when they heard the children shouting, they all looked over curiously.
When they saw Ye Ming and Cheng Baiyu, they subconsciously regarded the normal-looking Cheng Baiyu as a god.
Amidst the child's cries, his father also appeared.
Cheng Baiyu looked around and found that there was something strange about the person.
There were actually several wooden boards fixed around his neck.
When the child's father saw them, he mainly looked at Cheng Baiyu. It wasn't until the child pulled Ye Ming's sleeve and introduced the gods to his father that he realized that Ye Ming was the real owner.
The child's father's name is Xu Tiezhu, and he is somewhat honest.
I was surprised to hear that Cheng Baiyu was able to resist cattle after taking the elixir.
Cheng Baiyu looked curiously at his neck, which was fixed with a wooden board.
Xu Tiezhu first invited the two of them to sit down at home and asked his wife to make food. Then he looked at Ye Ming and asked:
"Xiao Zhu said you are a god and can cure diseases, right?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Of course, we have to take a look at the symptoms first."
When Xu Tiezhu heard this, he asked his son to help remove the wooden board around his neck and supported his head with his hands.
As soon as the wooden board was removed, Xu Tiezhu's neck was completely soft, as if he had no bones to support him, and he could only support his head with his hands.
Cheng Baiyu was surprised when he saw this.
Xu Tiezhu smiled bitterly and said:
"My neck is as soft as dough. If it is not fixed with a wooden board, there will be no support for my head."
With that said, he motioned to Cheng Baiyu to touch and see.
Cheng Baiyu touched his neck and found that it was indeed very soft. Even the muscles and bones inside were soft.
"How is this going?"
Cheng Baiyu was amazed. He didn't expect that a person could still be alive even though his neck was soft. It was really strange.
Xu Tiezhu sighed and explained the reason.
He and his brother were originally officers and soldiers, and they served as horse detectives in the army.
Once, when the two went out to investigate, they suddenly saw an old dwarf man less than four feet tall appearing beside a willow tree.
When the old man saw the two of them, he laughed strangely and let out a breath.
His brother's horse was hit by the energy. The horse's neck immediately became extremely soft, and its head fell to the ground and died.
His brother dismounted and drew his sword to kill the old dwarf.
But he was also hit by the breath, his neck softened, his head fell down and he died.
Seeing this, Xu Tiezhu was shocked and fled on horseback, but was still hit by his energy.
Fortunately, it seemed that because of the distance, his condition was not that serious. He managed to run away with his head in his hands.
From then on, Xu Tiezhu, whose neck became soft, retired from the army and returned home to farm, where he remains today.
After listening to what Xu Tiezhu said, Cheng Baiyu couldn't help but look at Ye Ming, feeling a bit toothache.
Before meeting this person, he had only seen a strange thing called Hua Po who was not scary.
Since I traveled with this person, I have encountered so many strange events in just two days. It is really...
If he didn't still want to find Hua Po, he really wanted to separate from Ye Ming right now, so that he wouldn't have to deal with these gods and ghosts anymore.
After listening to what Xu Tiezhu said, Ye Ming smiled slightly:
"This disease can be cured."
Hearing this, Xu Tiezhu's eyes flashed with anticipation:
"Excuse me, God, how to solve it?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "This monster is the essence of water and wood. Just catch it, get its tears, and apply it to the affected area, and it will be cured."
"catch......"
Xu Tiezhu looked troubled when he heard this.
That monster is so powerful, how could he catch it?
Moreover, after all these years, I still don’t know where the monster is, so where can I find it?
However, Xu Tiezhu was not really stupid. Seeing Ye Ming's half-smiling look, he quickly knelt down and begged:
"Ask the gods to help a bunch of villains. The villains are willing to work as cows and horses to serve the gods."
Ye Ming heard this and smiled:
"It's not necessary to be a cow or a horse. It's easy to find this monster. We just need you to go looking for it with us. I wonder if you are willing?"
Hearing this, Xu Tiezhu nodded repeatedly.
With the gods by his side, he had nothing to fear.
"Okay, then we need to make a gadget to track the monster first."
Xu Tiezhu naturally agreed. In the past few years, in addition to farming, he could also weave bamboo baskets, and he was barely dexterous.
The gadget Ye Ming asked him to make was not something difficult to make. It was a bottomless basin that could wrap around his neck and leave some room for movement.
After making the basin, wear it around your neck.
Because it is not completely fixed, the head will move this way and that.
Ye Ming explained:
"The direction in which your head naturally falls must be the direction of the monster. In this way, you can find the monster's hiding place."
Hearing this, Xu Tiezhu suddenly realized. Thinking back carefully, the heads of his brother and the horse both fell in the direction of the weird dwarf old man. Now it seems that it was not a coincidence.
It was getting late today, so I rested at Xu Tiezhu's house and set off again early tomorrow morning.
After dinner, Xu Xiaozhu walked to Ye Ming with some trepidation and turned his head towards him.
Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled playfully:
"What do you mean?"
"As promised, if you have the ability to cure my father, you can take one of my ears. Take it!"
Xu Xiaozhu had a determined look on his face. He closed his eyes and straightened his body, as if waiting for Ye Ming to rip off his ears.
"Hahaha, isn't your father's illness still recovering?
I will put the ear with you first, and then I will take it away after the disease is cured. "
Seeing Ye Ming say this, Xu Xiaozhu nodded and said seriously:
"good!"
After a night's rest, Cheng Baiyu reluctantly followed Ye Ming and Xu Tiezhu to find the monster.
Hey, I agreed to find a crow, what are these things?
...
