Chapter 120 Wolf Girl Cannibalism
"Miss Long, it will take me about ten days and a half months to come back when I go out to do some errands. By then, it will be the Chinese New Year."

"In order not to come back late unfortunately, I will give you an early New Year's greetings, and these things will be your New Year's gift."

Beside the big cemetery, after Li Xin saw Xiaolongnv, he brought the whole half-sack full of snacks to her.

"..."

When Xiaolong saw the sacks that ordinary people put their things in, he didn't speak for a while.

I don't know if she was left speechless by Li Xin's operation, or if she was just thinking about how she would carry this sack back.

"Oh, these treats are just incidentals, the real New Year's gift is this hairpin."

Li Xin took out a small object from his bosom, and stretched out his hand in front of Xiao Longnv.

In the palm of his hand, he saw a delicate butterfly hairpin.

The overall image is polished from deep sapphire, and the surrounding area is inlaid with some sporadic transparent crystals or diamonds.

However, how could there be such a valuable thing in Li Xin's grocery store?
It's actually plastic.

It's just that the workmanship is relatively fine, and it can be regarded as a boutique.

Such a card will not cost more than 50 yuan no matter how expensive it is before crossing.

Xiao Longnv is always dressed in white, and it is always white. Although there is nothing wrong with it, if there is more embellishment, it will make her beautiful image more varied.

Li Xin felt that a little blue or purple would match her cool temperament.

"Issuing a card? It's too expensive, I can't accept it."

Xiao Longnv looked at the plastic hairpin twice, then withdrew her gaze, and said calmly.

"Miss Long, I know that you treat money as nothing, and you don't pay attention to even valuable objects. If that's the case, why refuse this gift from me?"

"Whether the gift is valuable or cheap is just my wish, and has nothing to do with its own value. I think it is suitable for you to wear, so I chose it, that's all."

Li Xin persuaded.

He really wanted to see the little dragon girl's body, decorated with other colors.

Having said that, without waiting for Xiaolongnv's reaction, he took out a black frosted thermos from his arms.

The price before crossing is 39 yuan.

"This is called a thermos cup. It's a gift for Grandma Sun. It can keep tea warm for a long time. Even if you travel long distances, you can have a sip of hot tea at any time. The value is not lower than this card."

As Li Xin introduced, he turned the lid of the thermos cup away with his hand, and then screwed it on again.

It can be regarded as a demonstration for Xiaolongnv.

And he deliberately pointed out the value of the thermos cup, which is equivalent to a plastic hairpin, in order to persuade Xiao Longnu from the side to let her accept both gifts.

It's hard for her to refuse a gift for Grandma Sun.

Then even with it, and accepting the plastic card, it seems to be nothing.

"Okay, I'll take it for Grandma Sun."

Xiao Longnv took a step forward and took the thermos from Li Xin.

At the same time, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes, how did such a big cup be kept in Li Xin's arms before?

"Let's accept the hair clip too, it's very simple to use, just open and close like this, and fix the hair for use."

Li Xin demonstrated the structure of issuing cards again, and then handed it to Xiaolongnv.

"..."

Xiao Longnu pursed her lips slightly, and stretched out her hand to take it from Li Xin's palm.

Seeing this, Li Xin smiled.

"You just said that you are going to travel far away to do business elsewhere?"

Xiao Longnv gently held the hairpin in her hand and asked suddenly.

"Yes."

Li Xin's expression changed.

"These are six jade bee needles, all of which have been refined with the venom from the tail sting of the jade bee. If you don't know the hidden weapon skills, you can use it at a short distance. After being poisoned, your whole body will be itchy and painful. It can be detoxified."

Xiao Longnu took out six tiny jade bee needles and handed them to Li Xin along with a small bottle of jade bee jelly.

"Thank you, Miss Long."

The latter took it solemnly and thanked him.

The Jade Bee Needle is as thin as a hair, but because of its good material, it also has a bit of weight, so it won't feel as light as nothing.

And it is so small, as long as the firing force is enough, the needle can be completely driven into the enemy's body, making the pain even worse.

"It's over, I'm leaving."

Xiao Longnu said the usual farewell sentence.

Under Li Xin's gaze, he waved his long sleeve, and a snow-white silk ribbon flew out from it, wrapping around the half sack of snacks on the ground, and finally turned into a white silk ball.

Xiao Longnv gently retracted it again, and the white silk ball was held in her hand as light as a feather.

Like a balloon.

Li Xin was dumbfounded when he left with the "balloon" in his hands.

"As expected of a little dragon girl, I was still a little teasing, wanting to see how she walked with the sack, and she was still so elegant and immortal in the end, I accepted it!"

After recovering, Li Xin shook his head in admiration.

Then, with no one around, he began to practice martial arts again.

What I practiced was "Legs Follow the Shape of a Shadow".

It is an absolutely aggressive kick, paying attention to the substitution of offense for defense, even offense without defense.

As soon as one leg comes out, the second leg follows like a shadow, followed by the third and fourth legs, etc., pouring out continuously.

In fact, the "Mandarin Duck Legs" practiced by Li Xin earlier followed roughly the same path, but it was only third-rate, and the moves were much weaker.

But with it as a base, it is relatively easy to practice the stronger "Legs That Follow the Shape".

"I'm leaving for Shuangqi Town tomorrow, so let's make it a temporary crutch today."

Even so, Li Xin is still down-to-earth, practicing from scratch.

Two hours later, he finished his work with unsatisfactory intentions, and his heart felt very smooth.

Because the practice was so smooth, he even felt that this first-class martial art would take him two to 30 days to achieve a small success.

Compared with "Mandarin Duck Legs", it is not too difficult.

"It should be that my foundation has become more solid. Whether it's my body's muscles or bones, or the reason I've practiced my legs and legs, it's all very helpful."

"Of course, my aptitude is not bad."

Li Xin nodded in satisfaction.

Both he and Qingwen practiced "Mandarin Duck Legs".

The progress of the latter has been unable to catch up with him, and it is more than two or three times slower.

There are many factors involved, and aptitude and understanding must also account for one of them.

……

Soon after the practice, Ah Shui drove over, and Li Xin drove back to the town.

Instead of going home immediately, I did some shopping on the street.

I bought some food and stuff, and put them into the space when I go back later to prepare for the trip.

During the period, I ran into Aunt Bao who was about to go to the doctor on North Street.

Li Xin saw her first, and greeted her from behind: "Ms. Bao, it's almost Chinese New Year and you're still visiting the doctor?"

Aunt Bao turned her head when she heard Li Xin, and smiled when she saw Li Xin: "Patients want to see a doctor, and they don't know how to pick a time. They have to go to see a doctor whether it's Chinese New Year or not. Mr. Li, are you going to the north again to do meritorious deeds?"

"Yeah, just got back."

Li Xin smiled and asked, "Where is Bao Zheng, I heard that many matchmakers have come to your family recently? Many girls want to marry the smartest man in our town."

"He's in the academy. What kind of smart man is he? I think he's just a stupid pig! There are so many good people and good girls, and he refuses to go and see any of them. He just says he wants to get a job first, and then we'll talk about it when he comes back!"

"Listen to what this is talking about! The rest of the scholars all get married first and then start a career! I really have to wait until I come back after the exam. At that time, his title of the most intelligent person may not be famous or useful. I!"

Aunt Bao took the opportunity to complain.

However, after the complaints, he smiled again: "Fortunately, God bless our Bao family, there is still a girl who is willing to stay and wait for Bao Zheng to come back from the exam. She is gentle and considerate. Anyway, I think she is this girl Daughter-in-law!"

"Which girl? Love Bao Zheng so much?"

Li Xin was just exchanging pleasantries at first, chatting casually, but now he is really curious.

"Her name is Chang Yu! That Meng Fang's younger sister is also a poor person. She used to live alone in Linhe Village in the east, and usually made a living by selling spices."

Aunt Bao trusted Li Xin quite a bit, so Chang Yu's information came out like that.

"It was her."

Li Xin was slightly surprised.

He had never heard of Chang Yu when he was handling cases in the emperor's Weifu before, and he thought she didn't exist in this world.

It turned out that it wasn't that it didn't exist, but that there were variables.

She did not die with her brother, but survived, and it seemed that she had no connection with the case and maintained her innocence.

"Ms. Bao, what you mean, is Miss Chang Yu staying at your house?"

Li Xin asked again.

He is really curious about the variables.

"I persuaded her to stay here. The head wrapped in black charcoal is made of elm, and the girl can't tell what she wants."

Aunt Bao sighed: "But he still has a conscience. When Meng Fang was still there, he had such a good relationship with him. He left a younger sister. Of course, he has to take care of it."

"That's good, good! When Bao Zheng gets married, don't forget to call me!"

Li Xin smiled, took out another red envelope from his bosom, handed it to Mrs. Bao and said, "Ms. Bao, I'm going to go away tomorrow, and I may not be able to come back during the Chinese New Year, so I wish you an early New Year. Please accept the snacks."

"This, what's the point of this..."

Aunt Bao wanted to take it, but hesitated.

"Hey, just take it! The Mr. Zheng you rescued last time, oh, Mr. Song, you probably know that he is not a simple person. In fact, he asked me to pass on most of my intentions. .”

Li Xin lied, he gave the red envelope personally.

At present, it seems that Bao Zheng kept his promise and did not tell Aunt Bao the identity of the emperor according to the emperor's instructions.

Bao Zheng's character must be fine.

At that time, Li Xin had already given a lot of money for the consultation fee for his efforts to save the emperor, Aunt Bao. In addition, the emperor later exempted Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce from the crimes, so the merits and demerits were equal.

After all, what really played a key role in delaying the emperor's poisoning was Li Xin's jade bee jelly.

As for the doctor, even if you don't have Mrs. Bao, you can change to another doctor in the town.

Just look for someone whose reputation is second only to Mrs. Bao, even if her medical skills are a little worse, it won't be much worse.

Of course, all this is not Li Xin's speculation.

He has only just come into contact with medical skills, so he is not qualified to judge the gap between Aunt Bao and other doctors.

The person who made the jade bee jelly the key and said the doctor was the secondary factor was none other than Imperial Physician Liu.

With this authority to speak, things will be settled.

Calculated in this way, part of Li Xin's great contribution to saving the driver was due to Xiaolongnv and Grandma Sun.

So the gift he gave to the two today is what they deserve.

"Then I'll take it."

Without mentioning Li Xin's thoughts, Aunt Bao accepted the red envelope after hesitating on the face.

She squeezed secretly, the red envelope is very thin, it should be a bank note, right?
She guessed that it might be the same as before, containing a ten tael or 20 tael silver note.

Rich people are really generous.

"Auntie put it away, I won't talk to you any more, let's take a step first."

Li Xin said goodbye to him with a smile.

From North Street to East Street, when passing the stalls of Aunt Cai and Zeng Jing, I happened to see Jiang Asheng, who was moving a small stool, sitting there drinking mugwort tea, chatting with Aunt Cai.

The two chatted in a good atmosphere, but Mrs. Cai always intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Zeng Jing.

Jiang Asheng would also secretly look at the latter, as if he cared a little about Zeng Jing, and probably fell in love with her.

Li Xin was just sitting in the carriage, so he didn't observe so much, but he was familiar with the plot, so he naturally knew what was going on.

After thinking about it, he still chose to jump out of the carriage, went over to greet the three of them, and bought some peanuts at Aunt Cai's stall before leaving.

After returning to the house, he sent Ah Shui away, put all the things that should be collected into the space, and went to Tongfu Inn.

He was going to make an appointment with Bai Zhantang, when to leave tomorrow.

When I came to the inn lobby, I saw Li Yuanfang chatting with some people in the inn.

This is the first "task" given by Li Xin, let this "clan brother" appear, and fulfill the previous lie.

Also for tomorrow's trip, I went to another relative to give a reasonable explanation.

The main purpose is to help Bai Zhantang and reassure Tong Xiangyu.

"Hey, Mr. Li is here, come and sit down, Xiao Guo pours tea!"

Tong Xiangyu greeted Li Xin with a smile when he saw Li Xin coming.

Li Xin sat down in the vacant seat casually, and Guo Furong came over to pour tea.

"Everyone knows Yuan Fang, right? He is the housekeeper of my family now, and he will go with Brother Bai and me tomorrow."

Li Xin took a sip of tea and said.

"Let's go find relatives, Xiao Li, he has already said, let Zhantang protect you in the past, and let Zhantang take action if something happens!"

Tong Xiangyu knew that Li Xin was practicing martial arts, but he had just practiced for a short time, later than Da Zui.

In her mind, Li Xin would not be much better than Dazui.

As for Li Yuanfang who just came, she didn't know that he knew martial arts, so she easily accepted the statement that Bai Zhantang was responsible for protecting the two of them.

She has always called Li Xin the son.

For Li Yuanfang, she chose Xiao Li.

After all, the former is the master and the latter is the housekeeper.

"Well, I'm going to trouble Brother Bai! Let's set off at dawn tomorrow, how about it?"

Li Xin.

"Ok, deal."

Bai Zhantang agrees.

……

However, the weather on the second day became very bad.

Whoa!
Whoa!
It was pouring rain and the wind was bitterly cold.

The rain has been falling since midnight, and the strong wind has never stopped. No matter who sleeps at home, they can hear the howling wind.

"Master, this weather..."

Yu Rong's face was full of worry.

It's the first time for the master to travel far away, for these servant girls.

"The itinerary remains the same, you go tell Sai Diaochan and Xiaocui to make two more breakfasts."

Li Xin plans to have breakfast at home.

"Yes, sir."

Yurong withdrew.

As soon as she left, Li Yuanfang happened to come over.

"The plan remains the same."

Li Xin said directly.

Li Yuanfang nodded, he just came to ask this.

Weather does have a huge impact on travel.

They have plenty of time, and they will not delay their departure two days later.

But since Li Xin insisted on leaving, he naturally obeyed.

Anyway, strong wind and heavy rain are nothing to their martial arts practitioners, especially those with internal strength.

"My lord, I collected information yesterday, saying that in the bamboo forest to the east of the town, there seems to be a wolf girl cannibalizing people."

Li Yuanfang said.

"The wolf girl eats people?"

Li Xin was surprised.

The wolf girl is Xiao Ai, she is now a maid here, she cannot appear in the bamboo forest to the east.
