The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

This Poshan town is unremarkable.There are no more than a hundred families in the town, living a simple life relying on the mountains.Occasionally, caravans would pass by, and on those days, it would be a day of carnival for the children.

But just such a small town encountered a natural disaster one day.

The natural disaster did not completely destroy the town, but the active source stone polluted the water source.The adults wanted to ask for help from nearby city-states, but there was no messenger in the town, and there was no news from the adults who left the town.

So, forced and helpless, people abandoned the town and began their aimless journey——

In fact, no one in the town knew where to go. They didn't even know the nearest city. As if resigning themselves to fate, they chose a direction.

For those children, the warm bed, the zigzag fence, and the interesting water stains on the wall all suddenly turned into a dark night, and a... long road.

Many people died of hunger on this road.

There is a child. She is young and her family is poor.

She walked with her parents, watching the tight-knit neighbors become taciturn.

Watching the brothers and sisters playing together beating each other with sharp stones for half a piece of moldy sesame seed cake.

Maybe things would get better, she thought.She also worked hard, looking for berries, small animals, and catching scale animals in the river.

She almost drowned in the river because of catching a scaled beast, and also lost consciousness several times due to hunger.

Maybe it was just fate, or maybe her close relatives suddenly realized that the final use of this skinny little girl was to save some food rations for them.

When she returned "home" with the fruit she didn't know if she could eat it, there was no one there.

The sounds of animals on the cliffs in the cold night reminded her that her life was worthless.She was in a trance, as if she was being sent to heaven, and every inch of her skin was describing the temperature of death to her, and then——

She met two people.

Two wonderful... [people].

……

"woke up?"

A cold female voice woke up the child.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a gorgeous woman, and next to her... uh...

A fortune teller who seems to be good at deceiving and abducting people?

However, the girl quickly realized that the two people in front of her were her saviors.

"thanks……"

The girl said weakly.

She quickly touched her tattered pockets, only to find that the fruits she was not sure were edible were gone.

"Have you seen my fruit..."

the girl asked anxiously.

Her parents and fellow villagers may still be waiting for her. Maybe those fruits can help some people's stomachs...

"lost."

Zhu Jiuyin answered lazily.

"!"

The girl's eyes suddenly became moist.

Xi, on the other hand, glared at Zhu Jiuyin angrily, very dissatisfied with his careless attitude, and then comforted the girl and said:

"You don't have to be sad, because those fruits are inedible and poisonous."

"Of course, if you originally wanted those poisonous fruits..."

Xi paused.

She glanced at Zhu Jiuyin, and then said calmly:

"Just consider it as reward for saving your life."

The girl pursed her lips, knowing that the two of them were her saviors, so she stopped mentioning the fruit.

She looked around, feeling the warm temperature of the bonfire and the dim woods. After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice:

"Thank you, big sister, and... big brother?"

Even the girl could clearly tell that the beard on Zhu Jiuyin's chin was a fake beard.

Because the unprofessional-looking beard is also a deliberate move by Black Snake. After all, the combination of this fake beard and small round sunglasses simply puts the word "charlatan" written on his face.

Black Snake wants to make Zhu Jiuyin look like a careless charlatan. Each incarnation of Black Snake has a certain personality. This is a small obsession of Black Snake.

But just as the girl was expressing her gratitude, her stomach suddenly growled.

She hasn't eaten in too long.

The girl's face turned red, but what made her even more ashamed was, why did the two people in front of her... look at her with strange eyes?

"Speaking of Xi, how long has it been since we had a meal?"

"……forget."

Zhu Jiuyin and Xi talked in front of the girl without any care.

The girl was unclear about the content of the conversation between the two.

Eat... How long has it been since you last eaten? Can you still forget it?

Even the people who fled, the adults who could endure the hunger best at first, still had to eat food at least once every two or three days!

Can you forget it in two or three days?Are you so forgetful?

At this time, the girl had vaguely noticed that something was wrong between the two of them.

She observed the two of them carefully.

Although they were in a muddy mountain forest, their clothes were spotless, and the woman had a sword on her waist, while the man only hung a small black gourd and a peach wood sword on his waist, holding it in his hand. fan……

Yes, where did they put the dry food?

……

Zhu Jiuyin ignored the little girl's opinion.

He just suddenly became interested, poked the sword at Xi's waist with a playful smile, and reminded:

"By the way, Xi, can't you draw a picture? Why don't you just draw a meal for her?"

Xi's painting is fake, but it can also be real.

The food she draws can really taste the food, making people feel full in the stomach and replenishing the nutrients the body needs.

This is the power of the giant beast, which is difficult to explain with Origin Stone technology. It is a system of its own, just like the power of another rule.

"...Let me draw those vulgar things?"

Yi Tai pulled Zhu Jiuyin's hand away, making Xi a little angry.

It's not that she can't draw those vulgar objects, it's just that she feels that painting with this intention will somewhat tarnish her paintings.

But looking at the girl's pitiful look and noticing Zhu Jiuyin's malicious hand reaching for the black gourd at her waist, she finally said irritably:

"No way... fragile mortals."

Watching a child starve to death in front of your eyes?Xi can't do such a thing.

In the same way, watching a child turn into a monster is not what Xi wants to see.

Although Xi seriously suspected that Zhu Jiuyin's actions were just to urge her to draw faster, after all, Zhu Jiuyin treasured those strange pieces of meat in the gourd.

So, she just took out the ink sword from her waist and waved it lightly, and the ink sprinkled on the ground and splashed up, turning into a table with a bowl of porridge and a few dishes of side dishes placed on the table.

Although Xi doesn't like to be in contact with people, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand people.

There is never a shortage of people in her paintings.

So she naturally understood that for a mortal who had been hungry for a long time, an overly rich meal might be able to satisfy the appetite of a person who had been hungry for so many days, but it was far less nourishing than porridge and water.

……

At first, the girl saw the porridge and some side dishes on the table in front of her, but she didn't dare to move her chopsticks.

After all, she saw with her own eyes that these things were transformed from a pool of ink.

The girl looked at the man and woman with some fear, but Zhu Jiuyin and Xi ignored the girl.

Xi really wanted to save the girl, but if the girl didn't grasp the chance of life, there was no need to force it.

As for Zhu Jiuyin...

Black Snake has always been indifferent.

In the end, the girl couldn't resist the strong feeling of hunger in her belly. After thanking the two in a low voice, she picked up the bowl.

'It smells so good! '

The girl who could only think about food did not notice the conversation between Zhu Jiuyin and Xi.

……

"Xi, do we really want to take this little guy with us?"

"...We can't see a child die here."

"You really, I cried to death."

"...If you speak in such a disgusting tone again, I will let you spend 100 years in my scroll!"

"What? Is there such a good thing? I will leave a few [me] in your picture scroll."

"..."

"Ahaha, it's just a joke, don't be angry~"

Looking at Zhu Jiuyin, who looked unattractive, Xi sighed inwardly.

'I really don't know who is nagging in my ears all day long, urging me to have more contact with mortals. '

'crazy. '

Chapter 435 Xi: Black Snake, you are the one who looks down on mortals the most!

Later, the girl became their little follower.

It was not that the girl never had the idea of ​​​​looking for her lost family members, but the increasingly bad atmosphere at that time and the increasingly cold eyes of her relatives made the girl understand that she had become a burden.

But okay...

Two benevolent and kind-hearted immortals took him in.

Although one of them...

"If you think about it, at least your close relatives and former neighbors just abandoned you instead of taking you as dry food to carry with them... Ouch!"

"Xi, take care of your Mo Xi, don't let these little guys bite me, I'm trying to protect the heart of an abandoned little girl!"

"Can you bear to let a ten-year-old lose the ability to believe in family affection from now on?!"

One of the immortals, that is, the man dressed as a fortune teller, would always say some strange and even horrifying words, and then be severely repaired by another immortal, that is, the gorgeous woman. pause.

At first, the girl felt scared and sad, but as time went by, she gradually adapted to the man's nonsense.

What's more, the other party was one of her saviors and took her in.

And in getting along day and night, the girl also saw many things that she could not see in that small town in the past.

A swipe of the pen becomes ink, ink regenerates ink, and ink transforms all things.

And that unreasonable power...it seems like it can tear even the mountains apart, but it is invisible and incomprehensible.

What's even more strange is that the man and woman never seem to bleed, never get hungry, never get thirsty, never need sleep... at least, that's how it seems in the girl's eyes.

Things that are necessary for ordinary people to survive seem to have no meaning to these two seemingly immortal beings.

No...it's not meaningless.

At least you two can still use chopsticks when you go to a local restaurant.

And that's when the girl is happiest.
