"Master Xue?"
The scholar glanced at the branch diagonally above him, where a beautiful woman with a sweet smile hung.
Everyone Xue is obviously here? !
Li Changan smiled and said:
"How can a stunning beauty like Mr. Xue smell like fish all over her body..."
Fishy smell? Hearing Li Changan mention this, the scholar also seemed to have a hint that the source... seemed to be Mr. Xue.
"...It just so happens that the fragrance is very fragrant around me right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft female voice sounded one after another.
"The little Taoist priest looks serious. Unexpectedly, he is also a talkative person, and he listens very well when he speaks."
Why! ?
The scholar looked over with wide eyes and saw ripples in the mist. In the blink of an eye, a beautiful woman with a handsome figure but a charming face was leaning against the tree, playing with a silver-white exquisite dagger in her hand. It was Master Xue.
Mr. Xue was like a cat, jumping from one branch to another lightly. In the meantime, he gave the scholar a look and a chuckle, and the scholar was immediately fascinated.
She Shi Shiran walked to "Master Xue's" cocoon, frowned and looked at it.
"Smiling silly."
After saying this, he reached out and patted "Master Xue" on the head, and "Master Xue" immediately transformed into Li Changan's appearance. Another shot, and it turned out to be a strange man again. Li Changan looked vaguely familiar. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't this the boatman who was in the cabin that day?
No wonder it smells fishy!
Li Changan used the Dragon Jade Talisman more, and his nose became much more sensitive than ordinary people. He had already discovered that Mr. Xue hanging on the tree was not the real person. But so what? Even if you expose others, it will not be helpful to the current situation.
It wasn't until today that he smelled a faint aroma, and then he took the risk to reveal Niu Xiucai's identity. In fact, he also smelled the fragrance once a few days ago, but it passed by in a flash and he didn't have time to think about it.
Now, the Xue family has gone and come back again.
"Everyone Xue left and came back." Li Changan directly pointed out her whereabouts, "I must have a complete plan."
Everyone Xue didn't answer. Instead, he jumped up to Li Changan and asked with a smile: "Little Taoist priest, who do you think I am from?"
Li Changan blinked and thought, how could I see this? I am face blind. But I heard it said that people in the north are like cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses, while people in the south are like fish, crabs, turtles and shrimps. You are old, you look like a bastard in the mountains.
This witty remark kept spinning in Li Changan's stomach but did not come out. Over there, Mr. Xue hugged his knees, sat on the tree, and told stories.
"I am from Lingnan. Where we live, seven parts are mountains and two parts are water, and only one part is farmland. Every winter, when there is a bad year, people die one by one in the village, and when there is a good year, people die one by one. Dead people are also strange, how come people are like those weeds and never die."
"My hometown is just a small remote village, and it can't stand the trouble."
"Fortunately, there is a big spider in the nearby mountains and swamps, and white beads occasionally grow out of the silk sacs. The nobles in the Central Plains like this kind of orb very much. If you find one, you can exchange it for the whole village to spend the winter. of food.”
"The name of this kind of spider is 'car spider', which means a spider as big as a wheel. But this is the name of the Han people. We call it 'Atsonaro', which means a man-eating monster."
"This car spider is so powerful that even five or six good hunters are no match for it. When in danger, they will call out to the same kind. But in order to survive, people can always find a way. We discovered a medicinal herb called 'Mirisu' '. Just let the spider eat a small one and it will sleep to death."
As she said that, she took out a medicinal herb. It was green in color and looked familiar to Li Changan.
"But spiders are not rabbits, and they don't eat grass. Then we can only lay bait, let the bait eat the 'Mirisu', and then give the bait to the spider to eat." At this point, she paused. "But I was so hungry that I took risks, and all the living things that could be eaten went into my stomach. What else can I use for bait?"
The expressions of all three of them changed. What else can I use for bait? The answer is self-evident.
Everyone Xue lingered on the faces of several people for a while, then smiled and continued:
"Whether it is Lingnan or the Central Plains, the way this spider eats people is always the same. It first wraps it into a cocoon, then injects venom into it, revitalizes the flesh and blood, and finally sucks it dry. The strange thing is that the 'Mirisu' is also in the venom. It can be dissolved while still maintaining its effectiveness. As long as the spider takes a sip, it will fall asleep, and the spider hunters waiting next to it can swarm up and break out the belly to get the beads. "
"But it's funny."
She said it was funny, but the smile dropped unconsciously on her face.
"The spiders that have spent so much effort hunting may not necessarily have beads in their stomachs. So what, we have to continue baiting. Use the old man first. When the old man runs out, he will use the children. When the children are used up, there will be only He is young and strong. Now we have to make a careful calculation. If there are more men in the village, use men first; if there are more women, use women first. Until we find beads or there is enough food..."
The person who said it was an understatement, but the people who listened made their hair stand on end. In this situation, it adds a bit of charm.
The scholar looked at Beauty Xue with a wry smile on his face.
"Master Xue, if you have a way, then you have a way. Why bother with these words..."
What does this say? But the scholar couldn't tell, so he didn't say anything.
"You scholar, it's too early to speak. I haven't finished speaking yet." Mr. Xue said with a smile.
"I can't help it."
"There's no way! How is it possible! Didn't you say there is Mijisu!"
The most excited person was Niu Xiucai. He grabbed the hose tightly and wanted to rush over and spray spit into everyone Xue's face. However, he was afraid of disturbing the spider demon. He gritted his teeth for a while and continued to do what he was doing. He just stared at Mr. Xue with his eight eyes.
Everyone Xue paid no attention to this outstanding scholar and asked Li Changan instead.
"Do you know Yun Huansha?"
Li Changan nodded: "Of course I know."
"how."
Why ask this? Li Changan thought for a while, and his expression became solemn.
"The sword cannot hurt."
"That's right! It's hard to be hurt by swords." Everyone Xue sighed lazily, "This spider demon is like a pig. After eating, people will go back to the cave to sleep. When sleeping, they must wrap their whole bodies in spider silk."
"How thick?"
"Then you don't know?" Mr. Xue held his hand. "I only know that when spiders go out, the depths of the cave are filled with spider silk. Come to think of it, it's no thinner than the walls of Qixian County."
So thick! Li Changan calculated that even if he used demon slaying, he couldn't break it!
"What about fire?"
Li Changan thought for a while and then said.
Scholar Feifei's eyes lit up, yes, isn't that spider silk afraid of fire? When entering the mountain, the bow of the boat deliberately took away several people's fire-making tools.
"Use fire..." Everyone Xue pondered for a while, but still shook his head.
"Mirisu can only make the spider demon sleep to death. Although it cannot sense the mist net in the mountains, when the fire is approaching, no matter how hard it sleeps, it will still be awakened!"
The forest fell into silence for a while, except for a few people who were lost in their dreams. Occasionally, they squeezed out a few silly laughs.
Suddenly, Li Changan spoke:
"I have a stupid idea..."
