how to kill a dragon

Chapter 31 She's Still a Child

The gloomy and bleak moonlight shrouded this mountain forest. Except for one or two occasional movements in the grass and sporadic chirping of birds, the deserted mountain road was extremely quiet.

Wang Xiaotai carried a bucket, and taking advantage of the moonlight, staggered and limped a heavy bucket to the vicinity of the pool in the back mountain, and dumped all the sticky things in the bucket into the pool.

A small carp in the pond swam over after being awakened.

Standing by the pond, Wang Xiaotai looked at this silly little carp who didn't know what had happened, and smiled slightly, "Drink it, I heard it's a rare and good thing for you."

A mouthful of dragon blood is 500 years old, and a mouthful of dragon meat is 1000 years old.

Tonight, she had a chance with this fish.

Wang Xiaomo bent down and touched the head of the little carp that boldly approached her by the pool, then turned and left with the bucket.

Behind him, the little carp floated on the water, watching Wang Xiaotai’s back leaving alone in the night, watching her melt into the darkness, the little carp looked at her back for a long time, until he couldn’t see it and was still looking at the direction she left .

Looking at it, the little carp sank to the bottom of the water and spit out a few bubbles.

Wang Xiaotai returned to the room, soaked the rag, knelt on the ground and wiped away the blood in the room inch by inch, wiping the dusty chopsticks she found in the corner of the room.

Wang Xiaotai pursed her lips and looked at the chopstick in her hand.

It turned out that Ao Shun didn't hide this chopstick, presumably the two of them accidentally knocked it down when they were hugging each other and teasing.

She didn't cry, didn't speak, but slowly and carefully wiped the blood-stained chopsticks, inserted them in her hair, and continued to kneel down on the ground with her head down, wiping the blood stains all over the room inch by inch.

If you can't clean it once, you can do it a second time, if you can't wipe it clean after the second time, you can do it a third time, and a fourth time.

Until the bloodstain gradually fades, until the bloodstain gradually disappears.

After cleaning up, Wang Xiaotai found all the food in the house, put the long-lasting food into the storage ring, and then made all the ingredients that could not last long into dishes, including a dish of braised pork.

Wang Xiaotai picked up a piece of braised pork expressionlessly.

Although the taste is completely different, the taste of this piece of meat is basically the same as that given to him by Changsheng before.

They were all extremely delicious, which aroused the deepest greed in Wang Xiaotai's heart.

Wang Xiaotai carefully chewed the piece of meat in his mouth that was always chewable, until the whole piece of meat was tasteless after chewing, and then he swallowed the piece of meat with difficulty.

Then stretch out the chopsticks to pick up the second piece of braised pork.

She filled a transparent bottle from the kitchen with stones and threw it into the back mountain.

That was the transformation potion she stole. She still remembers when those mischievous students all turned into pigs in class, the teacher used this pink potion, and everyone could only maintain the appearance of pigs. a few days.

The potion didn't have much taste, but she was still worried that Ao Shun would be on guard, so she specially made braised pork with thick oil and red sauce to cover up the taste of the potion. She had started adding this potion to the meat a few days ago.

She poured all the medicine into the meal this evening, not a single drop was left.

Even when their relationship was best when they could hug each other, she didn't forget to add medicine to the meat, just like she never untied Ao Shun, and even secretly tightened the knot again at night after Ao Shun fell asleep.

This was already the limit of what she could do.

Wang Xiaotai buried her head in eating the rice and meat in the bowl. The amount of food was far beyond her limit, but she kept eating and filling her mouth with food.

She ate these meals as if they were her last meal, filling her stomach and replenishing her strength.

The quiet life is over, and the great escape may begin next.

She needs a lot of physical strength.

After eating all the food, Wang Xiaotai washed the rice bowls and pots clean, took the time to sweep the floor, and closed the windows.

She left a note for Li Jiutuan, saying that she went down the mountain to relax and did not know when she would come back.

In the letter, she said earnestly that she had regarded the old mother's palace as her own home, could she have a place in the old mother's palace, so that if one day she couldn't stay outside, she could have a home to return to? Not too poor, too homeless.

She knew that after reading this note, Li Jiutuan would definitely help her keep the yard, and even keep the formation to protect the yard, so as long as the formation of the old mother's palace is not broken, no one will ever find out that a dragon died here.

But she can't guarantee that Li Jiutuan won't come in and take a look, if someone finds out what happened in this yard...

That was her end.

Wang Xiaotai looked around the whole yard, confirmed that everything was clean at least on the surface, and then closed the door.

It was early morning today, and Wang Xiaotai was walking on the stars. She still had one last thing to do.

Wang Xiaotai knocked on the door, and the people inside quickly came out to answer the door, "What's going on today..."

It was a woman in Tsing Yi who opened the door. She frowned. The little girl in front of her was in an extremely bad state of mind, as if she hadn't slept all night. "What's wrong with you?"

"I buried the bloody dragon scales near your yard this morning." Wang Xiaotai's eyes were dark, "tell me who killed Bai Lian, and I will dig out these dragon scales and take them away." of."

"You know, Dragon Clan, never die."

"You don't want others to find you hiding here, do you?"

This woman is capable of divination and divination, and she has extraordinary skills, but she lives in the back of Lishan Mountain, unable to move a single step, and has never seen anyone come to her except Wang Xiaotai herself.

Wang Xiaotai believed that she lived here anonymously and in seclusion. Such a person should dislike her whereabouts being discovered, right?
This is a big gamble, the worst result is that the woman will kill herself.

It doesn't matter anymore, Wang Xiaotai thought, she has already killed a dragon, that's enough.

"You kid..."

"I told you that she is no longer a child!"

In an instant, the green clothes turned into red clothes, and his temperament suddenly became gloomy.

Instead of the dignified and straight appearance of the woman in green, the woman in red leaned against the door frame and said lazily, "Who child would force you like this."

"Kids, don't be nervous. I'm just a warlock. I don't kill people. There's no need for you to talk to me with a knife in your hand."

"Actually, according to luck, I should have told you what you wanted to know, but... I didn't want to tell you myself."

The woman in red sat on the threshold and waved at Wang Xiaotai just like before nothing happened.

Wang Xiaotai did not let go of the hand that was tucked in the sleeve and held the red-scaled dagger. When she sat down, she involved the wound on her right leg that Ao Shun stabbed with chopsticks earlier. Wang Xiaotai pursed her lips, held back the pain, and sat down. down.

Although they were sitting on the same threshold, there was a distance between them that was not there before. Wang Xiaotai sat with her at a distance where she could shoot at any time.

She raised her eyelids, the sun was shining through the clouds, and the light and shadow floated, caressing her face, but it still couldn't shine into the depths of her eyes. She sat on the threshold and listened quietly to the woman in red.

"Sometimes I feel that I'm quite...a bitch," the woman in red straightened her legs, looked at the woods not far away, and said:
"I used to be very conceited. I was the first sorceress in the world who could know my fate by observing the stars and spy on yin and yang. At that time, I felt that there was nothing in the world that I didn't know. Familiar with Yao, proficient in gossip. Knowing heaven and geography, good at understanding ghosts and spirits, and arrogant."

"I think my calculations are all correct, and the results of my calculations should be announced to the world. I have to let everyone know how good I am."

"I want the warlocks in the world to worship me as a god!"

When she said this, the woman in red reached out and clenched her hands into fists, as if she was still recalling the high-spirited appearance back then.

"So even if it's a very inappropriate prophecy, I said it, even if I know that this prophecy will overturn the world and blood will flow like a river, I will say it."

"I was right, I should have said it and let them know I was right."

"The future and the past are seen like a mirror of the moon; a few families prosper and a few fail, and they are like gods. If you know the bad luck, you will know the good fortune, and you can say goodbye to death. Talk about the wind and rain quickly, and write about ghosts and gods."

"This is what a warlock should do."

"Until one day when I was looking at the physiognomy, I saw another folk emperor's face. There are two emperor's faces in this world. I should have concealed this matter and told my king, but I didn't."

"I am so conceited that I will announce this emperor's appearance to the public, and I will tell the whole world that this person is also a born emperor."

"But how can there be two kings in one country? The man who I saw as the emperor soon launched an uprising among the people."

"My prophecy killed my monarch, my relatives, and my homeland. Those familiar and strange things were all destroyed before my eyes."

"I was made a marquis by the new monarch. He said that he was very grateful to me. My prophecy encouraged his ambition and created momentum for his uprising. He asked me to prophesy for the new dynasty."

"He said that I helped him overthrow my own country, and I helped him kill my monarch."

"That's when I realized that even if it is accurate, some prophecies should not be uttered. Things may continue to develop if I don't say them, but I won't be in such pain."

"I can die with my lord, my family, and my country."

"Die with honor."

"So I thought, I shouldn't make predictions anymore, I shouldn't go to show people anymore, on the day the country was destroyed, I poked my own eyes."

The woman in red had a casual attitude, sitting lazily under the sun, as if she was just telling someone else's story.

　Explanation on the whereabouts of Ao Shun's corpse: I don't have a clear explanation for this matter for the time being, and his corpse will still have magical uses in the later stage.

　　Everyone can guess how to deal with Ao Shun's body. (Some people may be able to see that Xiaotai ate part of it, but did not finish it. There is still the rest, which will be revealed later)

　　It's not realistic to bury them. If the Dragon Clan finds out that the students from the Old Mother's Palace are dead.

　　It's unrealistic to take it with you, the smell is too strong, Xiaomoi doesn't have the strength to keep this secret yet.

　　Alas, Xiao Moss actually made a mistake. Dragon meat, a high-end ingredient, should be eaten directly as sashimi, but it will not be so delicious after being boiled in a pot.
