Chapter 84 I Found You
After Yu Lie successfully digested the copper tendons and iron bones, his whole body's energy and blood were suddenly blocked. Only when he could break through to the upper Taoist boy and break through the limitations of the physical body could he continue to increase his energy and blood.

But what discouraged him was that since he caught the black snake king fish, Yu Lie ran to the Black River every now and then, hoping to catch another king fish.

But after seven days in a row, the nearby black snake fish had been caught by him with a little reduced production, but he just didn't meet the second king fish.

Even if he used the remaining part of the fish king's flesh and blood as bait, he couldn't be seduced.

It wasn't until Yu Lie chatted with Lao Hutou and others that he realized that the reason why such a thing as the Black Snake Fish King was called "King" was not only because of its large size and age, but also because of its size. Within the range of a black snake fish king, there will never be another second fish king.

In a section of the river, once all the black snakefish grow to a certain size, they will inevitably be watched by the existing fish kings, and then they will try their best to catch and swallow them.

In this situation, it can be said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, not even one male and one female.

Because black snake fish and the like are hermaphrodites.

It seems that because of this, the Black Snakefish also took the initiative to limit its flooding in the Heishui River to a certain extent, so as not to damage the ecology of the Heishui River.

As for how many miles of a river, there can be a king fish... Yu Lie asked insincerely, some said it was a hundred miles, some said fifty miles, and some said thirty miles, and so on.

It's just that Yu Lie also understood that no matter whether the Yuwang's range of activities is one hundred miles or thirty miles, within the range of Heishui Town where he is located, there will be no second one in a short time.

If he wanted to hunt the second, or even more, king fish, he had to leave the town and go to the rest of the Black River!
Knowing this situation, Yu Lie's mood was a little complicated.

He sighed softly: "It seems that we can only break through to the level of a high-ranking Taoist boy outside the town."

But in this way, he immediately had a clear and specific goal in the next out of town experience!

for the rest of the time.

Yu Lie seized the time to refine various elixirs, such as using the eggs of the king of fish to prepare more high-quality Qiangxue pills, and at the same time ran to the first and second floors of Zangshuge to read various martial arts.

After all, if you grind your guns before the battle, you will be happy if you are unhappy.

He is doing everything possible to prepare for the upcoming trip.

And as time went by, the news of the big soldiers also spread more and more in Heishui Town.

Yu Lie's drug-extraction boys started to get impatient, and some of them ran to Yu Lie from time to time, looking familiar, hoping to get his care after leaving the town.

Yu Lie just took these situations into consideration one by one, and continued to seize the time to make his own preparations.

At the same time, the price of goods in the town has skyrocketed. In less than the last ten days, the prices of various spells, weapons, and elixir have reached the highest level in the past, enough to wipe out all the people in the town. Some impoverished Taoist children are completely excluded.

All the Taoists involved in related industries have made a fortune!

Only teahouses, restaurants and other places, on the contrary, business was suddenly sluggish, and prices had to be greatly reduced.

The only exception to Yu Lie was his landlady.The other party's business has become more and more popular recently, and the red lanterns at the door are getting brighter and brighter every day.

Every time Yu Lie went out early in the morning, he would meet the other party to see the benefactor out.And the landlady didn't bother to tease Yu Lie anymore, it seemed that her business was so good that it was almost worn out, and there was no shortage of Yu Lie's list at all.

this day.

Yu Lie continued to carry out his alchemy in the quiet room of the poisonous mouth.

Suddenly, there was a request for instructions from outside the quiet room, which made Yu Lie, who was busy working, frown slightly.

Although he is no longer the one who ordered not to be disturbed like he did at the beginning, but he said in his poisonous mouth that unless something difficult happened, the carrot head and the others would never disturb him.

I saw a small bell hanging on the stone door of the quiet room, shaking slightly, and stopped after three breaths.

Seeing that the bell stopped in time, Yu Lie bowed his head again and continued to work on the matter at hand.

After half an hour, he just stood up, washed his hands, and opened the stone door.

As soon as the stone door was opened, Luobotou moved a stool as usual, and sat waiting at the door. When he heard the movement of the door of the quiet room, he got up immediately.

Yu Lie wiped his palms, and said straightforwardly: "You don't need to be polite, what happened in the mouth?"

"Boss!" Luobotou called out respectfully, then scratched his head, and said somewhat uncertainly:
"This time it's not what happened in the mouth, but someone came to you."

Yu Lie was slightly taken aback: "Looking for me?"

Yu Lie felt a little puzzled. He subconsciously suspected that Mr. Fang or Tang She had called him over.

But Luobotou took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "It's the charter woman, the woman in charge of rent collection in the courtyard. Boss, do you still remember?"

Yu Lie had strange eyes and said, "What is she looking for me for?"

Luobotou replied: "It is said that Brother Qiao lost it, and I want to ask you for a favor, so I can help you find it."

Hearing this, Yu Lie frowned.

Before he could make a sound, Luo Bo paused for a moment, and added: "I also asked someone just now, and I heard that it was indeed lost, and it had been lost for several days. The renter also said that it was in the Dan room It was lost in the middle. Perhaps it is because of this that the charter lady came here to find you, the boss."

Yu Lie frowned, wanting Luobotou to call the charter woman over to understand the situation carefully.

If it is true, then it is all right for him to help inquire in the alchemy room, and ask the Taoist boys under him, anyway, it is just a matter of lifting a finger.

Besides, the charter woman was domineering and mean, but Brother Qiao was innocent.

That brother Qiao is usually quite introverted, and he lost his father at a young age, so he is also a poor child.

But when the words came to his mouth, Yu Lie suddenly closed his mouth again.

He pondered for a while, but waved his hand at the carrot head, without explaining anything, and said:
"Go and help me see off the guests, I still have medicine pills to concoct."

After finishing speaking, Yu Lie stepped into the quiet room without looking back.

Hearing Yu Lie's answer, Luobotou hesitated to speak, but he just sighed lightly, then turned and walked to the gate to dismiss the charter woman.

And Yu Lie returned to the quiet room.

His brows were furrowed even more, and after pacing up and down again and again, he still didn't turn around and call Luobotou back.

Yu Lie closed the stone gate, and suddenly pulled out the sleepy starlings. One person and one bird cut their palms and held each other. After whispering in a whisper, Yu Lie let the starlings fly out through the secret passageway in the quiet room. .

Looking at the starling who left, Yu Lie sighed softly.

It wasn't because he refused to go directly to see the charter woman, so he could help find brother Qiao.

But Yu Lie suddenly realized that such incidents of missing children are very rare in the town, let alone in the alchemy room.

Moreover, the charter woman and Brother Qiao are natives of Heishui Town. Even though they are just mortals, women and children, their status in the town is much higher than the Taoist boys who just arrived here. It is directly equivalent to the lower Taoist boy.

For example, the house that Yu Lie and others once rented belonged to the charterer and Brother Qiao, and it was the other party's private property.

The dead husband of the charter woman seemed to have been a Taoist boy in the town. He must be a middle-ranking person or above if he was able to earn a fortune for the orphan and widow in the town.

Logically speaking, the yamen of the town would take it very seriously if the only son left behind was lost.Even if the town's yamen doesn't pay much attention to it, the charter woman can find a few people to help if she goes to find the relationship with the dead ghost's husband. guest.

Yu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly: "Unless you have searched for both, but you still haven't found Brother Qiao..."

In this case, even if he goes out, it will probably be useless.

And more importantly, Yu Lie worried that this matter would not be easy.

Although the town of Heishui is harsh and oppressive, several people die every day just in the pill room.

However, the management of the town is also extremely strict. No matter how weak a living person is, as long as they obey the rules and do not leave the safe area at night, unexplained deaths and disappearances rarely occur, which is rare once a year.

Therefore, for the sake of caution, Yu Lie felt that it would be better for him not to see the charter woman first.

He sent the starling out first, first to keep an eye on the charter woman, in case there was something wrong, and second, let the starling search outside the big houses first.

Starlings are birds and can fly. They can see the ground from the sky, and they are far better at finding people than ordinary Taoist boys.

If there is nothing wrong with the charter woman, or if he finds Brother Qiao directly, it will not be too late for Yu Lie to see her again.

After thinking about this clearly, Yu Lie collected his mood, sighed lightly, and immersed himself in alchemy again.

………………

Outside of poisonous mouth.

It was useless for the charterer to slap her, she was talked about by the carrot head, and she even pretended to be poisonous.

And before she had time to turn around, she was directly forked out of the gate of the Dan room because Sapo alarmed the patrolling Taoist boy of the Dan room.

Carrying the basket, the charterer was thrown to the ground heavily, and the talisman money fell to the ground.

She was trembling, and quickly picked up the falling talisman money into the basket, then knelt and sat at the door of the alchemy room, completely losing her usual vigor.

The charter woman murmured: "Brother Qiao, my brother Qiao..."

Suddenly, at the intersection next door, she saw a small figure from behind.

The charter woman's eyes bulged, she ran over like crazy with the basket in her arms, hugged the child, and cried loudly:

"Brother Qiao, it's been hard for Auntie to find you, woo!"

But immediately, with a bang, two big slaps hit the charter woman in the face.

A short and stocky man rushed forward, shielding his wife and children behind him, and cursed: "What a f*cking bad luck, you crazy woman, call after you see clearly!"

"Fucking bitch, go!" After scolding, the short man quickly grabbed his child tightly and walked home.

The charter woman was slapped by the short man, and her eyes were filled with stars, but she still widened her eyes, hoping to see the short man's son.

The child happened to look back at her and smiled curiously.

Seeing that it wasn't Brother Qiao, the charter woman immediately felt her eyes darken. She stretched out her fingers and grasped at the mouth of the market in a daze.

Bang!

The bamboo basket in her arms rolled down to the ground again, and the talismans inside fell to the ground, black and red.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Qiao! Where are you?"

The charter woman sat paralyzed in the talisman and yelled hoarsely: "Aniang will not force you to go here or there anymore, and I will not force you to take the Taoist test. Aniang only wants you to come back..."

Footsteps sounded one after another around the charter woman.

What happened just now alarmed many people on the street. The crowd surrounded the charter woman, pointing and discussing.

Surrounded by so many people, the charter woman's eyes were darkened and her ears were noisy.She was surrounded by human voices and footsteps in all directions, but there was no small footsteps and laughter she was most familiar with.

The charter woman bent her waist, her hair was gray, and her mouth was trembling:
"Aniang can't find you, Aniang can't find you..."

She barely got up from the ground, groping to find a direction.

Suddenly, a voice from the crowd shouted:
"Ma'am, your money..."

The charter woman stumbled and didn't look back.

Time passed until night fell.

A figure was always groping and searching in the streets and alleys of Heishui Town, without feeling tired at all.

Instead, when night fell, the charterer found that her eyes had improved and adapted to the darkness, and she could see things better.

She walked at the intersection of the night market, with smiling faces, and asked everyone she saw:
"Have you seen my Brother Qiao?

right.It's a kid with a gourd head, about eight or nine years old... Okay, thank you, you are auspicious. "

And wait until sunrise.

The figure of the charter woman finally disappeared from the street.

But until night, the people in the courtyard didn't see the renter come back.

That night, rumors began to spread in the nearby streets that the woman who had lost her child was attracted by the cries of wild doll dogs, walked outside the town, and was eaten.

Some people also said that the charter woman stepped on the ground and fell into the river by the river, and then disappeared without a trace of bones.

There were also people who told the inside story mysteriously, saying that it was the charter woman who sold fake bait and was hated by others, so she abducted her son and sold her in the town. killed.

Only one black-feathered starling standing on the eaves could see it clearly.

It was the charter woman who was lingering at the door of the alchemy room, suddenly a small door opened, someone came out of the alchemy room, and called the charter woman in.

After that, the charter woman never came out again.

………………

"You are auspicious, Brother Qiao, are Brother Qiao really here!?"

"You! Why did you bring this woman here?"

"Godfather, it's this old lady who has found Danfang again, and she's still rolling around in the street today, we must not keep her. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, or someone meddles in other people's business..."

"Hey! It's your fault too. Why grab the dolls in the town? You're causing trouble for nothing!"

"Hey, can you blame your son? It's not your elixir. It was at a critical moment that day. It's just that the price of goods in the town has soared recently, and no one is willing to violate the ban. That's why the goods were out of stock that day."

"Has the pill been affected!?"

"Godfather, don't worry, my son didn't take a few steps that day, he found it in the alchemy room, added it in time, and it didn't have any effect. Moreover, the ones in the town seem to be different from the ones outside, and the effect is very good!"

"That's good, that's good! It's just that the mother and daughter...well, let them meet."

Suddenly, there was a crying voice:
"Brother Qiao? Brother Qiao! Is that you?"

The two thin shadows continued to discuss in a low voice:

"How does godfather plan to deal with this fat woman?"

"If you can't let her go out again, then let her... This way you can take care of the medicine stove, and they can see each other a few more times. It just so happens that you will be able to use it when you go out of town to join the big army, and can protect you, so it's safe Some."

"Godfather is auspicious! Thank you, Daddy!"

"You are my son, why should you be so?"

"By the way, godfather. This woman has called a lot of people recently, and someone in the alchemy room has asked about this matter. If you don't want to save the risk of leaking the news, in my opinion, you still have to find a way to deal with it, just in case one."

"Well. But you can't move too many people... That's it. For those who helped this woman, you get a charter. It's just two or three. I'll figure out the tricky ones, just right Let's use a larger force to do it."

"Daddy is thoughtful!"

In a dark and red secret room, the mouse was whispering.

And with a fat body, she was lying in front of the lighted cage, and her mountain-like back was pressing on the two mouse-like figures.

The charter woman bowed her body and looked at the sleeping little man in the cage. Her voice was trembling but full of joy:

"Aniang found you, as long as you find it, as long as you find it..."

　Combine two into one so you don't procrastinate...
