Chapter 926 Treasure Companion
Chapter 926 Treasure Companion
Is this to recruit free labor?
Su Bai pointed at himself in astonishment: "Then we also want to..."
The old woman smiled, but her bark-like face looked a bit sinister when she smiled: "Of course, you are here to stay for one night, and we won't force you on this point."
"The second point is that you cannot conquer the elves near us, whether they are Rattata or Cat Boss. You cannot fight them. If you encounter them, you must avoid them. Many elves are resident They help around our village, and because of them, our village has always been safe and sound."
"The third point is you foreign tourists, especially your child."
Su Bai noticed that the old woman was looking at him, so he pointed at himself innocently and said, "Me, me?"
"That's right, you just fooled the girls in the village at the river beach. So unless there is something particularly important, you are not allowed to talk to the girls in our village!"
"The population of our village is already small. If you kidnap two of them as wives, there will be two more miserable one-handed men..."
After hearing this, the evil spirit girl couldn't help but cover her mouth with laughter.
Su Bai, on the other hand, looked confused, thinking that I was still a pure child, how could I hook up with women? This old woman was too flattering.
……
This old lady was really chatty, chattering away all the time about all kinds of trivial things.
"How about it, do you still want to live here?"
Seeing Su Bai's helpless expression, the evil spirit girl thought it was funny, so she stepped forward and teased.
"They are all trivial matters. I thought I could pick up some clues."
Su Bai was speechless.
"Are you listening? My wife, I haven't finished explaining my rules yet."
At this moment, the old lady's rules seemed to be coming to an end.
"You are talking and we are listening."
"And this last one, that is, don't light up the lights when it gets dark at night, and don't go out if you hear strange noises outside. Everything will be solved naturally the next day. And the last one is, don't worry about when, Don’t touch the treasure companion in the room~"
Upon hearing this, Su Bai and the evil spirit girl immediately realized that something was wrong.
This last rule allowed them to vaguely discover some clues.
However, the evil spirit woman did not speak because she had Su Bai as her mouthpiece.
"Did you just say treasure companion?"
"Do you have a treasure companion in the village?"
The old woman's skin like tree bark trembled, she turned around, stared at Su Bai with her eyes under her hair, and said, "What, do you know Mr. Baoban from our village?"
"..."
Su Bai paused, and then said: "I don't know him, but it sounds like the name of an elf. Does it mean there are other elves in our room?"
"Ho ho ho..."
The old woman let out a slightly hoarse laugh: "Young people think too much, how could Lord Baoban really come to us? What is in the room is the clay sculpture of Lord Baoban."
"Of course, even clay sculptures have a high status in our village. Young people should not be curious about doing anything to them."
After hearing the last part, Su Bai rolled his eyes and asked carefully: "Old lady, what if we accidentally violated the rules of the village?"
"Broken the rules?"
The old woman hummed twice, and a wind chime suddenly floated out of her mottled white hair.
The wind chime shook its short hands and made a "very fierce" look.
Su Bai looked wary, thinking that the other party was about to take action.
"If you break the rules, you'll be fined!" The old woman blew her beard and said with eyes wide open: "If you violate it once, you'll be fined one ounce of money; if you commit it twice, you'll be fined two ounces of fine! Not to mention bullying you foreigners, even if it's us Local people who break the rules will be punished accordingly!"
"..."
Su Bai suddenly felt that they really had dangerous hallucinations?
That’s how it feels.
The evil spirit girl coughed lightly behind Su Bai, and Su Bai immediately reacted: "Okay, we understand. I'm just asking this just in case. It's basically impossible to break the rules. Don't worry, grandma."
"Well... I think you two seem to have read some books and know some manners, so I took you in. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much time talking."
At this moment, he also arrived at the door of a large earthen house.
Since the old woman was getting old, she said she should go back to rest first and let her eldest son, the middle-aged man who was accompanied by Haoli, arrange the room.
"At this time, the vegetable markets in the village are also closed. If you want to eat something, I will ask my wife to cook more."
Su Bai thought for a while and responded: "Then I'll bother you, brother."
Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Su Bai began to look at their current room.
The room layout is very simple, with a low bed, wooden basin, stone pot, and a wooden shelf for hanging clothes. Although from a modern perspective, it is a very simple configuration, but it should be suitable for two people. no problem.
The bed looks quite big, it can sleep two people...
Ahem, of course there are elves, so they are not alone.
In fact, these are not the main points. The most eye-catching thing in this room is a stone sculpture besides these ordinary furnishings.
This stone carving is not engraved with the Bodhisattva or Buddha that modern people are familiar with, but with elves. This is normal. After all, this is a world of elves. The most important thing is that the elves engraved are not one, but three!
A short monkey with jet black fur.
A slightly bulky dog that stands on two legs.
There is also a free-range chicken with delicate feathers.
These three are Su Bai's familiar "treasure companions"!
I didn’t expect that there are people in this world who worship them.
According to legend, these three elves were "warriors" who once guarded a land.
They are called Yuan Zeng Monkey, Gozan Dog and Ji Pheasant respectively.
They defeated the evil "ghosts" and brought peace to that land. In order to worship and be grateful to them, the villagers passed down their images and stories from generation to generation.
But the truth is...
Just when Su Bai was lost in thought, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
Turning around, cold sweat fell down.
"Okay, Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm afraid the back of my head will be scratched if I keep looking."
The evil spirit woman tilted her head and smiled: "What can I say? There is something wrong with my brain..."
"sorry."
Su Bai bowed ninety degrees and apologized readily.
"Why are you apologizing? What did you do wrong?"
"I shouldn't slander your wise and mighty mind, King of Heaven. I shouldn't make my own opinions and be self-righteous. King of Heaven should be responsible for everything. I am your follower..."
"That's all the apology is for?"
The evil spirit woman suddenly thought of Su Bai's hand when she was unconscious...
