"pain!"
Ruchen covered the back of his head and took a few steps back. He blushed and gave Zheng Xiu a white look, his expression a bit charming.
Zheng Xiu was stunned.
He still hasn't recovered from the strange reminder that just appeared in front of him.
"Brother Zheng? What's wrong with you?"
Chu Susu noticed Zheng Xiu's strange expression, and asked in her heart.
"nothing."
Zheng Xiu shook his head, suppressed the shock in his heart, and smiled calmly: "You are all hungry, I will find you something to eat."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Zheng."
Zheng Xiu turned around and climbed up the steep stone wall, dug his fingers into the cracks in the stone, climbed up steadily, jumped into the sky, rolled several times in the air, fell into the distance, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Zheng Xiu left, the cute look on Chu Susu's face disappeared. She suddenly scolded Ruchen in a low voice, who was covering the back of her head and coquettishly, "Ballad! Yao! Yao!"
"Yao! Where did you die!"
"rumor!"
The blush on Ruchen's face faded, as if he heard Chu Susu's cry just now, and turned around in confusion: "Sister Susu, are you calling Xiao Monk?"
Chu Susu looked at the doubts on Ruchen's face and was silent for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled: "Monk, you misunderstood. The slave family is calling me that little Ya'er."
soon.
The blood crow, alert in the sky, landed on Chu Susu's shoulder and combed its feathers.
Ruchen suddenly realized.
I secretly thought that I was overthinking it.
When Zheng Xiu went out to look for food, Chu Susu and Ruchen each leaned on a corner, closed their eyes and fell asleep, recovering their energy and recuperating.
Boom!
At this time, there was a terrible explosion in the distance, which scared the two quiet people awake, thinking that Ye Weiyang was so ungrateful that he used siege weapons to kill them.
After worrying for a while, the forest became quiet again.
The two looked at each other.
After a moment, Ruchen carefully speculated: "Is it because Brother Zheng is... hunting?"
Instantly Chu Susu's expression became extremely strange.
About half an hour later.
Zheng Xiu came back with a python and a rabbit in his hands.
The pythons and rabbits have been processed outside, the skins have been removed, the blood has been washed away, and then they can be grilled and eaten.
"In your ascetic practice, you don't have the Buddhist values of not eating meat and not killing, right?"
Zheng Xiu used a fork to fork snake meat and rabbit meat, and when he started roasting it on the campfire, he turned around and asked.
Ruchen smiled and said: "How can there be so much emphasis on cultivating the mind, cultivating the heart and not the skin. Besides, the Buddhists in the Western Regions all wrote about some crooked ways. They said that killing is not allowed, and that wine and meat passed through the intestines and stayed in the heart of the Buddha. Bah! We don’t believe that nonsense!”
"well said!"
Zheng Xiu gave a thumbs up to Ruchen.
As they turned the tree branch, the dripping grease made a crackling sound on the fire, and the tempting aroma of meat wafted out. The three of them felt hungry and extremely hungry.
Dividing the food, Zheng Xiu bit into the snake meat with his teeth. He sat next to Chu Susu and asked about the other person's magic skills seemingly unintentionally.
Chu Susu was stunned when she heard this.
"I'm just curious about how you deceived those orphans. The art of stealing hands and changing your identity seem to be two completely different magic arts. If you have any concerns, you can just keep silent and don't have to force yourself."
The macho man's words sounded very thoughtful.
But I don't know why, but to Chu Susu's ears, "don't force it" seems to mean "must force it".
Chu Susu felt sad in her heart. What did you mean by your words?
The slave family is now under the influence of a strong man and has to bow its head. When you say this, don't you clearly want the slave family to take care of it? If you don't do it, you will be beaten.
Tears flowed in her heart, but Chu Susu showed a shy smile on her face. She gave the macho man a charming look and said with a smile: "There is no need to force it to get Brother Zheng to care. The slave family is looking forward to it. I wish Brother Zheng Can I ask a few more questions?"
"Then tell me."
Zheng Xiu nodded, his words sounded to the ears.
Chu Susu took small bites of the rabbit leg, and the fragrant taste diluted the sadness in her heart. She said slowly: "Pang Shengyun once had a foster sister. That foster sister was also an orphan. Coincidentally, his foster sister has the same name as the slave family. Different surname, named Ding Susu. He and Pang Shengyun are brothers and sisters, depend on each other for life, and make a living by stealing."
"Last year there was a wealthy businessman in the town. His surname was Gong. He was a dark and thin old man. He was cunning and lustful. He was a frequent visitor to brothels and his spending was quite generous."
"Pang Shengyun is actually right. According to the usual rules, they only steal from outsiders and not from locals. But rules are dead and people are alive. How can outsiders come into this small town all day long?"
Zheng Xiu nodded and agreed.
"Those children were hungry for a few days, so Ding Susu targeted the Gong family. He said that the Gong family was not a good person. Stealing twenty or thirty taels from him would allow a group of children to survive the winter. For the Gong family, it was just half a meal of wine. It’s just money.”
Zheng Xiu: "What happened next?"
Chu Susu sneered: "What else can be done? Ding Susu is just an ordinary thief. He didn't see the door and was discovered just after climbing over the wall."
Zheng Xiu was silent, he vaguely guessed what would happen next.
After Chu Susu had eaten enough rabbit meat, she burped, then her face turned red, she crossed her hands and stretched her chest to hide the embarrassment of the hiccup, and continued: "Later, Ding Susu's scarred body was thrown into the river and washed up on the shore. The slave family accidentally discovered that it happened to need a new 'identity'..." Chu Susu noticed that the macho man's eyes were wrong, and quickly waved her hand to explain: "Brother Zheng, don't misunderstand, this 'happen' has nothing to do with Brother Zheng, it was about half a year It happened before."
Zheng Xiu frowned: "What did you steal?"
Chu Susu smiled mysteriously: "I stole the person 'Ding Susu'."
"You became her?"
Zheng Xiu was surprised.
"It's done, but it's not completely done." Chu Susu shook her head: "If you want to sneak into Pang Shengyun and the others without leaving a trace, the 'Thousand Gate Generals' are an indispensable help."
Zheng Xiu asked curiously: "How did you do it?"
When Chu Susu heard this, her face changed slightly, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes. She put her hands lightly on Zheng Xiu's sleeves and said pitifully: "Brother Zheng, if you continue talking, it will cost the slave family's life!"
The implication is that further discussion will involve the secrets related to life - the limits of thaumaturgy, and the deeper mysteries.
Thaumatology is Chu Susu's survival skill. Once Chu Susu reveals everything, Chu Susu is equivalent to putting her life in Zheng Xiu's hands. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try and fight to the death with the tough man.
The atmosphere was solemn for a while, and Zheng Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. We are both thaumaturgers, and Zheng knows the taboos."
Chu Susu breathed a sigh of relief, changed her expression in the blink of an eye, and withdrew the ambiguous hand on the macho man's sleeve at the speed of light.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Ruchen fell asleep beside him.
Zheng Xiu looked back at Ruchen, who was curled up on the fire and sleeping soundly, thoughtfully.
"Brother Zheng, there is something wrong with the slave family. I hope to discuss it with Brother Zheng."
Zheng Xiu looked away from Ruchen's head, looked at Chu Susu, and nodded.
After receiving the macho man's approval, Chu Susu bit her lower lip and expressed her thoughts: "Brother Zheng, please trust the Nu family. Although the Nu family cannot completely make the decision on behalf of the landlord, the Nu family knows that regarding the matter of the stranger Feng Bei, the incomplete building We must be on the same line as Brother Zheng, and Qianchilou will never let Ye Weiyang 'get' the alien Feng Bei."
Zheng Xiu: "You said it."
Chu Susu: "What the slave family wants to say is that if we continue to go north, it will be difficult for the three of us to face the coming night guards, stars, and even the possible December. The slave family knows that Brother Zheng's magic skills are fierce and unstoppable. There are only a handful of people in the world who can challenge Brother Zheng's mighty magic. But in Ye Weiyang, there is a 'crow-raiser'. Once the crow-raiser appears, even Brother Zheng may not be able to resist it. The crow-keeper's 'death trick'."
After a pause in her tone, Chu Susu observed the changes in the macho man's expression, carefully weighed her words, and continued: "The slave family believes that if Brother Zheng doesn't dislike it, he can give up going north and turn to the west to avoid Ye Weiyang's encirclement."
"To the west?" Zheng Xiu looked slightly startled: "Desert?"
"Yes!" Chu Susu nodded vigorously: "The incomplete building is hidden in the yellow sand of the desert. With the scorching sun and yellow sand as the cover, and the mirage as the wall, it is like an indestructible city gate. As long as you reach the vast desert, you will be able to escape Ye Weiyang The pursuit!"
