But I'm a male fox

What if there are no water bandits around here?

So after he finished speaking, he secretly prepared the ecstasy technique.

However, the man thought for a moment, but simply nodded and said: "In that case, you all come back to the town with me."

Chapter 97 Have you misunderstood something?

Huh?

Li Cheng was a little surprised to see the man so talkative.

He inspected it carefully again, but found nothing unusual, and felt that a boat of mortals could not pose any threat, so he thanked her and took Dugu Zhi to rest in the cabin.

Then a boatman handed him hot water and steamed buns, and Li Cheng took the opportunity to use the spell of fascination, and made a few words.

It turns out that this place is on the surface of Bicheng Lake in Jiangdong Province, Dagan.The man is Dong Yuanwai from a nearby town. His family has a farm and a shop. Today he chartered a boat to cross the lake because he went out to buy dyes.

At the same time, on the deck, a young boatman was very puzzled and was talking about Li Cheng with the old boatman.

"Those two people are lying at first glance. The woman is so beautiful. If she really met a water bandit, how could she escape? Why did Yuan Yuan believe it so easily..."

"Boy, you are so ignorant. Master Dong is different from other masters."

The old boatman took no surprise and said, "Although he was domineering when he was young, he almost died when his home ran into water. Fortunately, he was rescued by a Taoist priest. Rumor has it that the Taoist priest said that he would still suffer from bloody disasters in his life, and he would make ten pieces every year." Only good things can be avoided, and from then on, he restrained his temper and was willing to do good deeds, and he persisted for 20 years."

"The man and woman don't look like a family, but they are alone in this wilderness. It's probably the same as sung in the opera. They are a pair of fateful mandarin ducks. They didn't choose a good way when they eloped, and they got stuck here. If there is no one to help, they will either freeze to death or die." They will be captured and beaten to death by their family members. Master Dong has done good deeds, even if he knows they are lying, he will definitely help them."

The young boatman understood, and thoughtfully said: "This old man is actually a good man, hey, then you say that if I pretend to be in front of him..."

"Okay, is it okay to say this? It's no better than anything else for you to go to the gambling house less to play money!"

......

Li Cheng sat with Duguzhi for a while, and saw Dong Yuanwai also descended into the cabin.

The old man laughed and asked about his health, but he didn't ask where Li Cheng was from and why he came to Bicheng Lake, which made Li Cheng somewhat strange.

But chatting, just perfunctory and perfunctory.

Li Cheng brought out the people used in Fengyin County to stir up cold rice, and said the anecdotes he heard from Chen Youxi as his own experience. The combination of the two was very bluffing, and it directly aroused the interest of Dong Yuanwai , the old and the young chat happily, as if they have become friends who have forgotten the year.

When it was getting dark, the boat stopped at the pier of a small town.

The climate in Jiangdong Province is warm and humid, and this town looks elegant, with white walls and black tiles that seem to have been soaked in ink, which is quite charming.

Li Cheng originally planned to bid farewell to Yuan Wai and find an inn to live in, but he peeked at the storage bag and found that there was no money in it.

His two storage bags were not very big. When he was preparing to enter the secret realm, he left silver clothes and other things in the cave in order to store pills and talismans, and to make room for Chen Youxi's mission.

After all, the Hundred Thousand Mountains don't use much money, who would have thought that he would go to Jiangdong?

"Master Li."

Director Dong didn't go far at first, but when he saw Li Cheng's distressed face, he turned back enthusiastically and said, "It's getting late now, Mr. Li and Lingmei are newcomers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a vacant room at the inn...

To be honest, the old man's house is not far from here, and he always likes to meet with heroes, the young master is very eloquent and very human, if you don't mind, please come to the old man's house for a few nights. "

There is one thing to say, at this time, Li Cheng was somewhat suspicious, did this director have any special purpose?

After all, since he traveled through time, the wealthy landowners he met were not only kind-hearted, but at least all of them were beast-like.

But after thinking about it, he is the monster!

He is still an "advanced" monster who has trained in the famous Hundred Thousand Mountains!

If this member is really just a hospitable person, then of course everything is easy to talk about. If he has bad intentions, such as lust or something, it is equivalent to kicking the iron plate and luring a fox into the house, and he can easily eliminate harm for the people~

He wanted to ask Duguzhi's opinion again, but found that Xiaolongnv had no opinion, so he nodded to Yuanwai Dong and agreed.

So Dong Yuanwai and several servants led a fox and a dragon along Qingshi Road to the town.

After turning a few streets and alleys, a big house appeared in front of him. Before everyone could enter the door, shouts came first.

"Hu'er, listen to your mother, come down quickly!"

"If I don't step down, the heroes are all going to fly over the wall!"

Li Cheng looked carefully, and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy jumping on the roof of the courtyard, and below, two maids and a woman with a big belly looked worried.

Good guy, the brat is on the roof!

Director Dong's eyes widened, he rushed straight into the yard, and yelled at the child: "Stinky boy, I've only been out for half a day, and you kicked your nose in the face? Can't you get down? If you don't get down again, I... .”

Seeing that Mr. Dong was looking for a stick, the child hurriedly shouted: "Father, didn't you always say that a good man should aim everywhere? I don't practice my skills now, how can I go around and become a hero in the future... hey Yo!"

"Meow!"

A cat suddenly jumped from a nearby branch onto the tiles, startled the talking child and fell off the wall.

"careful!"

"Tiger!"

Before it was too late, Li Cheng strode forward, leaped over the unresponsive maid, grabbed the little boy's collar and pants, and swung him to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Li Cheng looked weak, but he was actually so dexterous.

"Tiger..."

The woman hurried forward and hugged the child in her arms.

Dong Yuanwai even bowed to Li Cheng and said, "Thank you for your sharp eyesight and quick hands, sir, for saving my useless son."

"There is no need to be courteous outside the staff, it's just a matter of little effort."

After Li Cheng was polite, seeing the child staring at him, he still insisted, "I don't need this little boy to save me, and I will be safe and sound!"

The woman hurriedly taught her a lesson: "Hu'er, don't be rude..."

According to Dong Yuanwai's introduction, the woman is his wife. Her original surname is Zhang, but she can be called Dong Zhangshi. The child's name is Dong Hai, and her baby name is Huer. It's not surprising anymore.

Anyway, Li Cheng has no interest in fussing with children, and he grew up in an orphanage, so he was not sensible when he was young, and he did a lot of things on the roof. Even throwing firecrackers into the cesspit, he tried it once with the King of Children.

Ahem, the consequences are dire, good kids don't learn.

After meeting with members of Yuanwai's family one by one, he followed the servants to the guest room.

When the door opened, Li Cheng was slightly taken aback.

There is only one wooden bed in the room!

He looked at the servant and asked doubtfully, "My sister and I are two people, if we sleep in the same bed..."

The servant showed a meaningful smile, and said softly: "Young master, please rest assured, our master has always been kind-hearted and would not do such a thing of beating mandarin ducks..."

Wait a minute, what does it mean to beat a mandarin duck with a stick?

A fox and a dragon, which one is a mandarin duck?

Chapter 98 Chinese bullying, but three nothings are offensive

Seeing the "I understand~" expression on the servant's face, Li Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

These guys must have misunderstood something!

He looked back at Dugu Zhi, hoping that Xiao Longnu would clarify with him, but he found that the latter had already entered the room, lying on the bed, seemingly very satisfied with the soft bedding.

Well, it's not incomprehensible considering that she had been living in a cold pool of mud and stones before...

Seeing Li Cheng looking at her, Dugu Zhi thought she was asking about her impressions, so she nodded and replied, "This place is very good, I like it very much."

"Well, don't you think there's something wrong with us living in the same room?"

"Have it?"

Li Cheng didn't know that Dugu Zhi had been raised by others except when she was born, and she had been in a state of homelessness since then. Although she was lucky to grow up, she had never received any serious education.

In other words, Xiao Longnu is actually a little illiterate.

Compared with her vast knowledge blind spot, the lack of gender awareness is not a problem at all, otherwise it would not be so easy for Li Cheng to ride.

And, from the point of view of monsters, a fox and a dragon huddling together in a "cave" at night is nothing.

In short, Li Cheng's plan to find allies failed.

He turned his head and wanted to continue talking to the servant, but saw the latter waved his hands again and again: "Come on, the villain will not bother you two~"

After speaking, the person slipped away.

Ah this...

Forget it, as long as you have a clear conscience, it's fine.

He also spent the night in a carriage with Zhu Chongxiu, isn't it all right?

But now it's not time to ask the heart, one fox and one dragon only sat in the room for a quarter of an hour before someone knocked on the door.

"My lord invites two distinguished guests to dinner."

Compared to Feiyunzhuang, the Dong family is not that big, and the two of them followed the servants, and soon they came to a hall where there was an Eight Immortals table, and the three members of the Dong family were already seated—it seems that there is no such thing as separate tables for men and women in this world.

Li Cheng and Dugu Zhi sat on the other side, he glanced at the dishes on the table, there were fish and meat, it was obvious that Dong Yuanwai was not stingy at all.

After a few words of joy over the wine, everyone was startled by Duguzhi.

The child Dong Hai even asked directly: "Sister, you eat fish...why do you swallow it whole? Don't you spit out the spines?"

"Tiger!"

After being stared at by the whole table, Duguzhi realized that she had done something unreasonable no matter how ignorant she was.

Fortunately, as a master of expression management, she put down her chopsticks without changing her face, and said softly: "Li Cheng, I don't feel well, and I want to go back to the room to rest."

These words were rather blunt, but Dong Yuanwai didn't care, and said cheerfully: "Sisters and sisters, let's go, if necessary, tell the servants."

After Duguzhi came out, she didn't go back to the house directly, but wandered around in the courtyard, trying to remember what ordinary human beings should do in their lives.

It's not that she doesn't know anything, it's just that she has lost some habits after hanging out with monsters in the wild for a long time.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Dong and Zhang with a big belly also got off the table, walked from the side, and smiled at Dugu Zhi, "Does Miss Li have something on her mind?"

"Uh-huh......"

Dugu Zhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The woman showed such a smile as expected: "I said it's a bit weird, if it goes well, you won't call Mr. Li by his name."

By name?

His name is Li Cheng, I will call him Li Cheng, is there any problem?

Dugu Zhi asked puzzledly: "Then what should I call it?"

The woman covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "It depends on where you have come. If you have already made a private decision for life, it is not a bad idea to call your husband."

"Sister-in-law..."

Duguzhi wrote down these two words, and then asked Dong Zhangshi: "What kind of person would be nice to another person unconditionally?"

Seeing that the girl spoke sincerely, Mrs. Zhang took her hand, sat down in a pavilion beside her, and said patiently, "Let me talk to my sister in detail."

"It's just...he is not afraid of being implicated by me, he plays the piano for me, and saves my life several times... Also, sometimes when I get close to him, my face will blush and my heart will beat..."

"Silly girl, this is the love between two people! If not, how could you elope?"

Duguzhi ignored what elopement was, but she remembered the word sympathy.

She thought for a moment, and then asked: "He is nice to me, and I want to be nice to him, but I give him nice things, but he doesn't want them. What should I do?"

Dong Zhang didn't quite understand, but she listened to operas on weekdays, and they all talked about the poor boy eloping with the rich girl, so she guessed that Duguzhi had given Li Cheng money, but Li Cheng didn't want it.

So she replied: "Since it is a life-saving grace, and it is a mutual love, it cannot be measured by yellow and white things. It is expected that it can only be promised by body."

"Promise with your body..."

Dugu Zhi stood up and paced in the courtyard.

She suddenly remembered what Chen Youxi had said.

"You are so shy, you can't hook that fox... that fox likes to be passive... bully him directly..."

kindness......

After drinking for three rounds, even though Yuan Wai wanted to continue chatting, Li Cheng politely declined.
