"Gu Gu Da——"
At Xuantianmen, Yu Jianqiu looked at the spiritual bird in Ruan Li's arms with an unclear expression.
Ruan Li smiled and explained: "Senior brother, don't be surprised. King Ming gave it to me from a senior at the ruins at the foot of the mountain. He is usually very obedient."
"It's just that I don't know how long it will take to come back after going down the mountain. I was afraid that there would be no one to take care of and feed it, so I thought of taking it down the mountain with me."
Yu Jianqiu only nodded slightly when he heard this: "Let's go."
Along the way, Yu Jianqiu was not a talkative person, so he remained silent all the way. Ruan Li didn't say anything and just followed silently.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Lianhua Village. Although this place is not far from the Tiangui Sect, it is already beyond the boundaries of the ruins. The people in the village are ordinary people.
Following the address on the mission and asking a few more villagers, the two of them stood outside a fenced garden at the west end of the village.
The thatched hut in the courtyard is old and dilapidated, and the fence in front of it is crooked. No matter how you look at it, this family doesn't look like it can produce a spiritual stone.
An old man was sitting on a wooden bench at the gate. He was old, his eyes were cloudy, and he was looking straight at the dirt road outside the courtyard.
The dirt road crosses Lianhua Village and is the only way to go out or enter the village.
"Uncle Huang?" Yu Jianqiu stepped forward and called tentatively.
The old man slowly turned his head when he heard the sound. When he saw Yu Jianqiu wearing a long robe and holding a sword, his expression was slightly startled.
"Are you...an immortal from the Tiangui Sect?"
Uncle Huang stood up tremblingly, his tone carrying the hoarseness that comes only after he has not spoken for a long time.
Yu Jianqiu did not correct that he was not an immortal. He just took out the mission card and asked, "Did you lose your dog and asked us to help find it?"
"Yes, yes!" Uncle Huang nodded in agreement. His cloudy eyes were now filled with excitement, and his hands were shaking: "I didn't expect that someone would actually help me with this matter. You are really good people. !”
Ruan Li stood aside and watched as Uncle Huang couldn't help but hold Senior Brother Yu's hand to thank him. He was so excited that he couldn't express clearly, and he felt a little moved for a moment.
There was no one else in the yard, and the lost dog was probably Uncle Huang's only companion in the world.
Because Uncle Huang is getting older, his brain reaction is slow and he is not smart enough. Sometimes he forgets what he said.
It took them a lot of effort to figure out what happened and what the dog looked like.
It turned out that Uncle Huang took his family's puppy up the mountain to pick mushrooms, but later found that the puppy was missing. But the puppy is smart. There is a village at the foot of the mountain, so it should be able to find a home on its own.
But now a few days have passed, and the puppy has not come back, so Uncle Huang sits at the door and waits every day.
The whole body of the puppy is yellow. As for the size of the puppy, Uncle Huang would say it was very big at one moment and small at the other. Perhaps his memory was confused and he mixed up the puppy's appearance when he was young and when he grew up. Not sure.
After coming out of Uncle Huang's house, Ruan Licai said: "Brother, I don't think this task is worth it now. If I can help Uncle Huang find this puppy, for him, it will be equivalent to saving his life."
Yu Jianqiu glanced at her and said softly: "Whether it is worth it or not is not up to us. Since this task is posted on the task board, it means that the lost dog is important to the owner."
"Looking at Uncle Huang's yard, if he can take out a spiritual stone to find a dog, it should be considered his entire wealth."
This dog is more important to Uncle Huang than anything else.
Ruan Li nodded in agreement, and seeing that it was still early, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle Huang said that the dog was lost on the mountain, but it seems that he is not clear-minded, and I don't know if what he said is true. Let's go to the village first. Are you asking?"
"The same idea as mine." Yu Jianqiu said.
The two of them walked forward along the dirt road and saw several women enjoying the shade with their children under a big tree at the entrance of the village.
Watching Ruan Li and Yu Jianqiu coming from a distance, one could tell at a glance that they were not from the village, and several people cast curious glances at them.
Ruan Li took the initiative to step forward: "Aunts, we are disciples of the Tiangui Sect and want to ask you something."
For ordinary people in the village who have never seen much of the world, when they hear about the Tiangui Sect, they feel that they are full of gods. Several women stood up and bowed and saluted.
Seeing this, Ruan Li quickly said: "Aunts, you don't have to be like this. I just want to ask Uncle Huang in this village who lost a dog. Do you know?"
"Or has anyone seen the dog?"
When the women heard this, they all started talking.
"Hey, that dog has been missing for several days and no one has seen it."
"He just asks everyone he meets, and his memory is not very good. Those who asked him don't remember asking. We don't want to pass by his door now."
"But Uncle Huang is also a poor man. The dog has been with him for more than ten years. One person and one dog depend on each other."
"I was confused to begin with, but when the dog was thrown away, I was dodged, and I became even more confused."
Ruan Li couldn't help but look at Yu Jianqiu as he listened.
Yu Jianqiu did not express his opinion because this was Ruan Li's own task and he wanted Ruan Li to solve it by himself.
"Then do you know where the dog was lost? What color? What size?" Ruan Li asked.
Although Uncle Huang had said it, she was afraid that Uncle Huang was confused and made nonsense, so she wanted to verify it.
"It was lost on the mountain." A woman said with a certain tone: "Uncle Huang took the dog up the mountain and left here. I was sitting here. In the evening, when he came back from the mountain, Uncle Huang himself was the only one left. He saw me He came up and asked me if I had seen his dog.”
"That dog is not young anymore. It has lived for more than ten years. It is a big yellow dog."
"It's strange that he is obedient. He doesn't bite or scare anyone. No one in the village is afraid of him."
Several women were rushing to tell Ruan Li what they knew. At this time, a young man in ragged clothes happened to pass by. After hearing what they said, his expression was obviously panicked, and his movements subconsciously accelerated.
Yu Jianqiu saw this man frown slightly, but did not speak.
Until Ruan Li saw something strange about this person, he couldn't help but look stern.
"Big pillar! What are you doing again?" At this time, a woman saw the man and called out at the top of her voice.
The man turned around and replied with evasive eyes: "Go to the mouth of the river, touch two fish and eat them."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ruan Li and Yu Jianqiu unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, the man looked back and looked up, and a face suddenly appeared in front of him. He was so frightened that he screamed and sat down on the ground.
Ruan Li stood in front of him and looked at him condescendingly, and asked in a calm tone: "Tell me, where is Uncle Huang's dog?"
"What dog? I... I don't know..." Dazhu didn't dare to look into Ruan Li's eyes and could only bury his head.
The women gathered around and were surprised when they heard Ruan Li's words: "Little Immortal, do you think it was Dazhu who stole the dog?"
Ruan Li shook his head: "I don't know whether he stole it or not, but he must know where the dog is."
