I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Although I was the one who first proposed the proposal to stop the war, but, but do you believe it?

Isn't it too simple?!

What Xiaobai didn't know was that Qing Jiao's consciousness had only been born for about a month, so strictly speaking, it was still a baby dragon.

So, although it has been severely persecuted by Wan Zi, its mind is still relatively pure.

【...】

Recalling the scene where the green dragon attacked Tangtang in the river, the White Bone Goddess suddenly became frightened.

So, she launched a sneak attack without any psychological burden!

boom--

The dragon was caught off guard by Xiaobai's punch and his skin was immediately torn apart.

Group 6 0 2 You you you, you don’t keep your word?!

The green dragon was furious and immediately launched his most ferocious counterattack.

However, Xiaobai had already taken the initiative, and for a while it was defeated and beaten badly.

"No, it can't be like this!"

Tangtang finally reacted, and she stopped Qingjiao regardless of the danger.

"Xiaobai, you can't do this. We agreed to stop the fight. You can't launch a surprise attack."

The little girl's behavior was undoubtedly extremely irrational, and it would not be an exaggeration to call her a fool.

But it was such a stupid act that deeply moved the injured Green Dragon.

Chapter 021: Powerful Gourd

If you think about it carefully, although Tangtang can force herself to do things, she has never done so!

Looking at the little girl standing in front of him, the baby Qing Jiao's favorability soared and reached the [Friendly] standard of sixty.

So it didn't take the opportunity to sneak attack the little girl, but quickly bypassed Tangtang and started fighting with Xiaobai again.

Both sides consciously controlled the leakage of power. After a series of ping-pong sounds, the relic with a dragon pattern on its surface once again turned into a ray of light and sank into Tangtang's Baihui acupoint.

"..."

Really, really, we should have united, but why did it turn out like this in the end?

The little girl sighed worriedly. She looked around the messy little house, found a broom and started to clean it up.

Although he had tried hard to clean up the mess, when the scholar returned in the evening, his first reaction was - who smashed his rented house?

"sorry"

Tangtang apologized, "I originally wanted to show solidarity and friendship, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

After the little girl roughly explained Xiaobai and Qingjiao's situation, Li Xingwen also showed helplessness: "We are all from the same place, how can we be so incompatible? Forget it, I will find someone to repair the furniture tomorrow, as long as the book is not damaged."

It's probably too broken to be repaired, I'll have to buy some new ones.

Fortunately, Tangtang has made a lot of money recently and can buy a new set of furniture!

.....

The next day, when the little girl and Li Xingwen went out to purchase, a sturdy man carrying a huge gourd on his back stepped into Kelai Village.

"Work hard, work hard!"

The man found an empty spot and sat down, then started shouting at the top of his voice.

"What does 'dali' mean?" Soon a villager came over and asked curiously.

“It’s the great strength of working on the land.”

The sturdy man patted his huge gourd and said with a smile: "My gourd is a treasure. You can get great power by taking a sip. It's one penny per sip. Do you want to take a sip?"

It’s really a strange thing, there are actually people who work so hard?

"It's only one penny. You won't suffer any loss or be cheated. I'm selling my strength. I'm selling my strength for one penny!"

The villager thought that what this strange guy said made sense, so he handed him a penny.

"Haha, suck hard, but you can only take one puff for one penny."

At this time, many villagers had gathered to watch the fun. Under everyone's urging, the man who had paid took a deep puff from the unscrewed big gourd.

"..."

"How is it?" everyone asked curiously.

"I feel so energetic, I feel stronger than a bull!"

With so much energy, it would be a shame not to do more work in the fields.

Thinking of this, the man, who felt as strong as an ox, quickly ran back to the field.

As he ran, a circle of people immediately followed.

The sturdy man was not in a hurry and still sat on the ground shouting hard.

About half a cup of tea later, all the people who had left came back and scrambled to stuff copper coins into his hands.

"Hurry up and give me a sip too!"

"I'll give you ten cents and I'll take ten puffs."

Ten mouths won’t do. I want to come here to do business tomorrow.

Ignoring everyone's urging, the sturdy man calmly returned the extra money before unscrewing the wooden cork again.

"Don't be greedy, just take one puff a day, one puff will last you a day."

...

In recent days, a large number of soy products have appeared around Li Xingwen from time to time.

Fried tofu, tofu pudding, cold tofu shreds, soy milk, and bean cakes, the snacks the little girl brings back every day are different.

"Cousin, please eat it. This is a token of my love."

Tangtang would always say this with a smile, and Li Xingwen couldn't help but feel some ripples in his heart after hearing and eating this so many times.

'Could it be that Miss Shan is interested in me?'

It's not that the scholar is being sentimental. Shan Yunhe's performance was so obvious that he was already late to realize it.

To be honest, I am happy.

After all, Li Xingwen's favorite type is a good wife and mother like Shan Yunhe.

But he cannot respond to this feeling now.

"Li Xingwen, Li Xingwen, you are just a poor scholar. Do you think you are so beautiful after eating a few bowls of tofu?"

'If you don't pass the exam, you are nothing. Remember, nothing!'

The scholar cursed himself in his heart, and after calming down all the ripples, he went back into the hard study mode.

This was a tough situation for Shan Yunhe. She asked Tangtang privately several times what Mr. Li thought of her.

The little girl's answer could only be -

"I do not know"

Tangtang scratched her head and said, "Apart from eating and sleeping, he has been always talking to me. He has become a fool and has never talked to Tangtang about Sister Shan."

As the saying goes, if a girl chases a boy, it’s easy for her to succeed.

Why do things become so difficult when it comes to me?

Shan Yunhe was extremely depressed and could only give the bean cake in his hand to Tangtang and told her to remember to give it to Li Xingwen.

"Oh!"

The little girl walked back to the shabby house leisurely with the bean cake in her hand. When she opened the door, she found a familiar face.

"Sister Qiao Yun?"

The atmosphere in the room was not right. Li Qiaoyun's eyes were red, while Li Xingwen clenched his fists and his whole body was shaking slightly.

"Tangtang, I have to go home."

After a moment of silence, the scholar said bitterly: "My father, my father is gone."

"Tangtang, let's go together!" the little girl said without hesitation.

.....

On the way back, Tangtang heard Li Qiaoyun talking about the strange vendor with gritted teeth.

One penny is enough to take a puff from the gourd. After taking a puff from the gourd, you will be full of strength and can do three days' work in one day.

All the men in the village rushed to suck it!

"He sold his strength for five days in total, and after five days he never showed up again."

Li Qiaoyun's voice was filled with tears again. "On the sixth day, all the men in the village had backaches and were paralyzed in bed, unable to work. On the seventh day, some uncles recovered a little and could barely get out of bed and walk a few steps. But, but Daddy didn't recover. No matter how much my mother and I called him, we couldn't wake him up."

It sounds like a serious injury to one's vitality. The better the foundation, the faster the recovery. If the foundation is too poor, one will die instantly.

"Sister, how many people have left the village?" Li Xingwen asked in a deep voice.

"When I left the village, Daddy was the only one left."

Hearing this, the scholar's expression became extremely complicated.

It is certainly a good thing that no other villagers died; but if only his father unfortunately passed away in the whole incident, the impact of the case would be too small.

The case of the red embroidered shoes was a major case that shocked the entire county because it involved the revenge of an innocent soul.

But when they were investigating and collecting evidence for the first time, those old hands didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, as if they were just out sightseeing.

This made Li Xingwen secretly anxious. He thought - would that damn guy be able to get away with it for a long time?

Chapter 022: Pretend to be a pig and eat the bear?

Li Xingwen returned to the village to make arrangements for the funeral and immediately returned to the county town to report to the authorities.

He tried his best to define what happened in Kelai Village as "demons causing trouble."

Because only in this way will the government take it seriously and bring the criminals to justice as quickly as possible.

However, the county magistrate was not a person who believed everything he heard.

He did not make a judgment on the spot, but instead sent people to investigate.

Li Xingwen closely followed the progress of the investigation, but was disappointed to find that the detectives were more inclined to classify this case as one of fake drugs harming people.

"Li Xiucai, we understand your feelings. But that person didn't perform any magic. How can we hastily judge him as a so-called demon just based on a big gourd?"

After a pause, the old captain added, "Of course, since someone has died, we will definitely issue a countywide warrant for his arrest. Please be patient."

"That gourd is extraordinary. I've never heard of a gourd that can be as powerful as a bull after taking a puff! And a county-wide wanted notice may not be enough. The criminal may have already fled to another county. We need to unite with several neighboring counties to quickly arrest him."

You have also joined forces with several surrounding counties. What official rank do you hold?

The old captain curled his lips subconsciously, and then said indifferently: "Strong as an ox is an exaggeration. It's just a medicine gourd. Li Xiucai, we have to go back to report. Please accept my condolences."

.........

At this point, Li Xingwen was helpless.

Fortunately, he has a big demon who likes him, and a young but loyal cousin Tangtang.

"Damn it! Let's split up and find the bastard who killed my father-in-law!"

Shan Yunhe, who came to express his condolences, walked out of his sweetheart's house and immediately grabbed the little girl and said with a murderous look on his face.

"Well, I will definitely find it."

Tangtang nodded and began to ask her friends in the village, such as sparrows and squirrels, to help find people.

"A stout man carrying a large gourd on his back."

"Thank you for your help, Tangtang will treat you to delicious food later~"

Since they were acting separately, the little girl didn't know what method Shan Yunhe was using to find someone.

But in terms of results, it seems that she is one step ahead.
