Chapter 107: Looking at Each Other with Respect
"My friend sent a message via carrier pigeon saying that he encountered a very difficult monster and needs my help. There is no time to lose. I think we should leave now."
"Okay." Jiang Yubai nodded, "Have you finished your work?"
"It's just a letter. Just ask the waiter to do the errand and send it."
"Won't you come in?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Qingran supported himself on the window frame and jumped into the house.
"I'm going to check out. You go find the waiter and ask him to take the message." After saying that, Jiang Yubai opened the door and went downstairs.
Hua Qingran followed behind him and looked at his back. She felt that he was taking over the role.
After putting the wooden sign back on the counter, Jiang Yubai watched her and gave instructions to the waiter.
Following his gaze, Hua Qingran was slightly stunned, "Let's go."
Jiang Yubai nodded. "I'm going to buy some things. Can you wait for me at the city gate? It won't take long."
"Ah."
After leaving the city, Hua Qingran looked at him, "You have the Speed Talisman, right?"
Jiang Yubai took out two.
She asked with some doubt, "The speeding charm you drew, isn't it the kind that will explode when you stick it on?"
"Yes, do you want to use it?" He exchanged for the other two. "It is indeed faster."
"Try it." Hua Qingran took one of the talismans from his hand and pulled out another one from his treasure bag, "Exchange it with you."
"Yeah." Jiang Yubai put the one she had changed away neatly.
Hua Qingran's eyes showed a hint of doubt. Why did he feel like he was treating him like a treasure? Aren't they all the same?
Jiang Yubai followed behind her as he watched her put on the talisman.
Perhaps because she was not familiar with the speed at which he drew the talismans, she could not help but fall forward.
Jiang Yubai's heart tightened and he wanted to reach out to help her.
But she straightened herself up and glanced at him sideways, "It's just that I'm not used to it for a while."
Jiang Yubai withdrew his hand.
She has a very strong waist.
Jiang Yubai followed her and stepped on the branches and tree trunks in the mountains and forests for leverage, and walked quickly all day.
The setting sun shines on the top of the clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun spreads out like beautiful clouds.
Hua Qingran stopped and looked up at the small village in front of him immersed in the graceful evening rhyme.
Jiang Yubai walked into the village before her.
There was curling smoke and a gentle breeze. It looked like a very ordinary small village, but there was a strong aura of evil and bad luck.
Hua Qingran touched the Wanbao Bag, which was the green purse hanging around his waist, and a bamboo tube appeared in his hand.
She opened the bamboo stopper, raised her head and took a sip of water.
When she looked up, she saw Jiang Yubai looking at the surrounding scenery and his eyes fell on her, and their gazes met.
She touched her purse again and put a bamboo tube into his hand. "Yes, whoever sees it gets a share."
"Thank you." Jiang Yubai followed her example and opened the cork, then took a sip.
So sweet.
Two little boys, about four or five years old, were clinging to the wall and cautiously watching the two people entering the village.
Hua Qingran glanced at them, then looked at Jiang Yubai, and seeing that there was no expression on his face, he asked, "Is it delicious?"
She drank a little sweet water on purpose.
Jiang Yubai nodded, "It tastes good."
Then he looked at the two timid children.
When the two children saw him looking at them, they ran away quickly.
The doors of every household in this village were tightly closed, and Jiang Yubai could hear the villagers' conversations in the houses.
"You two disobedient brats, you went out? Are you trying to save your life? I told you not to go out after the sun goes down!"
Then a woman's voice came, "Why don't you listen? What will I do if I'm captured by a monster?"
"Mom, I won't dare to do it next time!"
"Why is there another person here? Is it not a monster?"
"She's so pretty, she must be a monster!"
……
The villagers looked out through the crack in the door.
"The last few people who came to the village were monsters, and these two must be monsters too!"
"Dad, Mom, please protect your son from the spirits in heaven. Why are these damn monsters coming to our little village?!"
"Wow, are you still alive? All the girls and boys in the village who are fifteen or sixteen years old have been arrested. Are they going to arrest younger ones now?"
"Quickly put out the fire, don't let the monster know there's someone in our house!"
Hua Qingran whispered beside Jiang Yubai: "They don't seem very smart. Monsters have all five senses, and I can hear them mumbling. How can monsters not hear it?"
Jiang Yubai nodded, it was indeed very loud.
Hua Qingran glanced at him and said, "They definitely won't open the door if we knock on it. Why don't we just wait at the entrance of the village for a while?"
It was almost nightfall, and from what they were muttering, it seemed that the demon wouldn't come so late at night.
"it is good."
Crouching under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, Hua Qingran touched his stomach and said, "I've been running for more than half a day. I'm hungry."
Jiang Yubai took out the bag of jujube paste cake and said, "Here."
Hua Qingran looked over and said, "Isn't this the bag I gave you?"
"Ah."
She pinched a piece and ate it, "You don't like it?"
There were only two or three dollars in the half bag she gave him, and now there are two dollars left.
Jiang Yubai looked at her and said, "I rarely eat sweets."
"You said the sweet water tasted good just now, but I put more sugar in it on purpose."
"Acceptable."
Hua Qingran met his gaze and said, "Don't keep looking at me."
It's really unbearable.
When he looked at her, his gaze seemed particularly focused. If she wasn't used to all kinds of stares, she would probably blush now.
That night I clearly looked like, "Don't get so close to me, I'm afraid of you."
"Look at the other person when you speak to him or her to show respect." He turned his eyes away slightly.
I couldn't help wanting to look at her, but was afraid of offending her, so I could only look at her openly when she was talking.
The rest of the time, he could only watch secretly.
To her now, he was just a fellow traveler whom she had just met and was not very familiar with.
"Okay." Hua Qingran couldn't refute.
Let him look. It's better than turning his head away when she talks, which is indeed a bit arrogant.
After taking another bite, she asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm hungry." Jiang Yubai lowered his head, took out an oil-paper bag from his treasure bag and handed it to her.
Actually he is not hungry.
"What is this? It smells so good."
"Duck in sauce."
Hua Qingran felt around in his purse and took out a wooden box. "Mi Tuan'er, you take half and I take half."
"Okay." Jiang Yubai pulled a large piece of wood from the side, which looked quite smooth, and said, "Sit down."
She looked at the wood and said, "You are very strong."
He looks gentle and handsome, but I didn't expect him to be a strong man.
"Ah."
The last ray of light disappeared in the sky, and the small village ushered in the night. In the silence, the sounds of insects all around were very clear.
The crescent moon is bent, a few sparse stars are seen, and the wind is rushing by.
The wind suddenly got stronger.
Hua Qingran, who was bored and playing with the bark of a tree after eating, sighed: "On a dark and windy night, it is the best time to kill monsters."
She clapped her hands, took two steps, stepped on the willow tree trunk and flew out. The thick black fog flying in the air was kicked down with great force, revealing her figure.
The howling wind seemed to be strangled by the neck and choked.
There is one woman and three men, all of them are outstanding in appearance.
No wonder the villagers said that she must be a monster if she looks so pretty.
Jiang Yubai sat in place, with four talismans rotating in unison behind him.
Hua Qingran fell to the ground, his fingertips brushed across his waist, and a landscape folding fan appeared in his hand.
"Where do you want to go, everyone?"
The folding fan flew out of her hand and circled around the monsters. Hua Qingran approached with the talisman paper in her hand already lit. She flew over to catch the folding fan and stuck the talisman paper on the back of one of the male monsters.
Instantly, the male demon felt a burning sensation on his back and a strange smell rose.
The folding fan pushed back the monsters that were surrounding him.
