The folk customs in small towns are simple and simple, and the streets are filled with the sound of hawking. The summer heat wave has begun, and there are many people sitting in the teahouse. As soon as the storyteller moistened his throat and started to speak, the limelight was already stolen by the gangsters from the nearby area.
"Hey, I heard that a ferocious beast came outside the city this morning. It is as tall as half the city wall, and its eyes are as big as city gates, and they also glow red..."
"No way, I've only seen such a powerful beast in books."
There were whispers among the guests.
"How is it impossible!" The little gangster stood up on the bench. He wiped his mouth, wiped the oil from his mouth on his clothes, slapped the table and said, "I, Wang San, saw it with my own eyes. Not only did that beast It looks scary, and its roar is extremely ferocious. The most terrifying thing is the speed at which it runs. Tsk tsk, the guard on duty saw it from a distance, his face changed drastically and he was about to close the city gate, but in the blink of an eye it killed it in front of him. "
"It was too late to close the city gate, so they had to quickly block the wooden fence in front. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?!"
"The beast swooped forward, knocked open the wooden fence that was not placed, and rushed towards the guard. At that time, the distance between the two of them was only one point. It stared straight at the guard with dripping eyes. Blood!"
Everyone gasped.
The little gangster laughed with a proud expression, as if he was the majestic beast.
"No, isn't that a dead person?"
The teahouse suddenly became noisy, and everyone was afraid.
The little gangster waved his hand, "It's not dead, it didn't eat anyone."
"Didn't eat people? Wang Er, you are just making nonsense. Such a terrible beast doesn't hurt anyone when it is killed. Could it be that you were just telling a joke?"
"It's just, well, you usually like to talk big and make up stories. Why are you here to scare us so early in the morning? I was so scared that I almost choked to death without swallowing the cake."
"This..." The little gangster was forced to retreat by the crowd, and he said at a loss for words, "Anyway, it didn't eat people, and I didn't see what happened to it later."
This is fresh,
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the younger brother who was following the little gangster became anxious and said, "My elder brother didn't lie. He saw that he couldn't defeat the beast and ran away to save his life, so he didn't see it. But what he said before it is true!"
This time it was everyone's turn to laugh.
This makes sense, but when he thought about it carefully, he said that the beast looked scary, ran fast, and its eyes were bleeding, but it didn't eat people, and it was allowed to run away. There was no place in the world that was so kind. "Fat" beast.
Naturally they didn't believe it and just listened to music, drank tea and watched the show.
The gangster was so angry that he hit his younger brother on the head, "Who asked you to say this!"
While they were arguing and laughing, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "There is something wrong with Zhang Shoubei's house."
"What?"
Everyone stood up one after another.
People in small places have a harmonious relationship with their neighbors. Even a gangster is an orphan without a mother, raised by neighbors in the street. It's just that he doesn't have a serious job, so he is recognized as a gangster. He doesn't do anything except talk big words. Do evil things. Zhang Shoubei, who was in charge of the town, was also a good official who was devoted to his duty and loved his people as a son. The people under his jurisdiction loved him, so they naturally became nervous when he heard this.
They looked towards the south of the city and saw smoke rising from a distance.
The enthusiastic ones immediately said: "Let's go help!"
"How can I help? It's still a long way to the south of the city. By the time we get there, the fire will be out."
"What I'm saying is that the guard has a water tank at his house, so he should be able to rescue him in time."
"You can't say that. The news has reached here, and you can still see the smoke over there. I'm afraid the fire is not small..."
Just when everyone was anxious and worried, they suddenly saw a ferocious beast passing by like a strong wind. On the wide road, the crowd had already heard the sound and avoided it, and only looked at it in horror.
"That's it!" the gangster shouted, "that's what I saw this morning!"
Abe didn't want to "break through" by car at first. In her imagination, she should drive the car to the gate of the city, and then they could communicate peacefully with the guards. But when she saw that this section of the official road was relatively flat and open, she gave the car to the third prince to drive.
The third prince, Zhao Yuanying, was very cautious at first, but later he got used to it quickly and became more confident the further he drove. When he got to the city gate, he saw that there was going to be a blockade over there, and he immediately became anxious and wanted to enter the city before the wooden fence was put up. He pressed the accelerator and immediately broke through the wooden fence. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he stepped on the brakes and stopped before hitting the guard. However, the guard who faced the "beast" was also stunned.
The other guards raised knives in their hands, held ropes in their hands, and hurriedly took tools for hunting wild beasts. They looked at the car warily and did not dare to act rashly.
When they got off the bus, everyone else would just stare at them, as if they were being stabbed. The city's garrison arrived at this moment and were equally prepared, ordering everyone to work together to defend against the enemy.
"Hey, this is different from what I thought." Abe tilted his head.
Zhao Yuanying: "What are you thinking about?"
"The immortal has arrived and everyone is waiting to welcome him?"
"Pfft—" Zhao Yuanying almost spit out a mouthful of soda. He didn't look nervous at all. He raised the can to drink water casually, "Let me tell you, I will definitely be arrested as a monster."
"If you hadn't broken down someone's fence and almost hit someone, how could you be considered a monster?" Abe snorted, "You are fully responsible."
"Okay, okay, I'm responsible. Don't worry, just reveal your identity when necessary. Although it's a bit tricky, the news spreads slowly here, so the second brother may not know." He turned to his elder brother and asked, "Brother, do you think so? Bar?"
Zhao Yuanlang was not as leisurely as him, and he was not nervous at all. Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation. He looked at Ai Bei and nodded comfortingly.
While the two sides were confronting each other and having a "friendly conversation," a man came on horseback to report that there was a fire in Zhang Shoubei's home. Zhang Shoubei actually stayed calm and asked people to retreat. He had no intention of relaxing his guard at all. It was as if he really regarded them as evildoers who were harming the people, and was afraid that if he took a step back, he would endanger the people of the city.
"Aren't you going to go back and put out the fire?" Abe asked the other party, "Don't worry, we don't eat people."
It's okay that she didn't mention this. As soon as she mentioned "cannibalism", the other party's expression immediately became more nervous. After all, except for those brave and receptive people like the two Zhao brothers, it would be difficult for ordinary people to digest her "special setting".
Zhao Yuanying suddenly thought of something and asked her: "Can you put out the fire?"
"Um?"
"Isn't it always like this in fairy tales? The immortal waved his sleeves, rain fell from the sky, and the fire was extinguished."
Abe: “…”
Zhao Yuanlang tapped his younger brother's head, "Don't embarrass others, our little immortal is afraid that he won't be able to practice magic for long." After a series of events, his mood was much clearer than before, and there were more jokes along the way. .
However, after being reminded by them, Ai Bei thought of something and said to Zhang Shou Bei: "We will help you put out the fire. Will you believe that we have no ill intentions?"
The roads in border towns are wide, unlike in the capital where land is scarce and cars and horses can travel unimpeded. Ai Bei and others arrived before Zhang Wei's horse. She opened the trunk of the car, took out two sets of fire extinguishers, protective clothing and smoke masks, and stuffed one set directly into the prince's arms. She had just redeemed these, not because she wanted to enter the city, but because the enthusiastic viewers in the barrage heard that there was a fire, and immediately rewarded her with a large amount of money to exchange for fire-extinguishing tools, hoping that she would put out the fire.
The prince was startled.
Zhao Yuanying also said: "Are you going to enter the fire scene? It's better for me to do it."
"You may not need it, just put it on before you put it on."
The people in Zhang Shoubei's mansion were already in a hurry, and the surrounding people also came to help, so the door of the mansion was opened wide, allowing them to come in and out. When Aibe arrived in his car, a group of people were so frightened that they hid in the alley, and some people ran into the house and shouted: "No, the beast is eating people!"
It made the already chaotic scene even more chaotic.
The rules in the garrison are very strict. If it is an ordinary fire, even if the fire is extinguished slowly, it will not lead to chaos. But this time it was different. The two young masters in the house were trapped in the room. The mistress of the house almost fainted and forced people to put out the fire with a pale face.
The room where the accident happened was in the room of their deceased grandmother. The maid was doing needlework in it and forgot to put out the candle. The two children missed their grandmother and ran in. At this time, the wind helped the fire and the candle flame had already lit the curtain. Waiting for the two When I found the water, it was too late to escape.
"My son!" Mrs. Zhang cried heartbreakingly. "Someone, come quickly. Whoever goes in to rescue my son will be rewarded heavily."
Everyone looked at each other hesitantly, but no one dared to step forward. With the current intensity of the fire, no one dared to go in and save people, for fear that they would not be rescued and would be caught in it instead.
"Madam! There is a wild beast outside that is trying to break in and eat people!" A servant stumbled over to report the news.
How could Mrs. Zhang be in the mood to listen to what he said, but at this moment, Ai Bei and three other people in weird clothes walked in. The servants were so frightened that they fell to the ground and crawled back, pointing at them and saying, "This , This is the man spitted out of the beast’s mouth!”
"What kind of person is spat out of the mouth of a beast?" Abe glanced at him, turned to Mrs. Zhang and said, "Didn't you find someone to put out the fire? I will put out the fire."
"you… "
There was fear on her face, not knowing whether they were humans or monsters, but she gritted her teeth and said, "If you can save my son, I will give you my life!"
Abe made an OK gesture and was about to go in, but heard the other person add: "If it's too late, save the boy first."
No one present felt that this was wrong. Abe's footsteps paused.
Everyone saw what looked like a pipe in her hand, and mist-like water sprayed out from it. Wherever it poured, the flames were subdued, leaving a path for her.
Zhao Yuanying was a little worried at this moment. Even though he knew that she was an immortal, the fire was merciless, and it was not as simple as waving her sleeves to save people. When he saw her going deep into the burning house, he was worried.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before she came out with a child in her arms.
It's a girl.
Just as Mrs. Zhang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she saw the child, her eyes suddenly widened and she said in disbelief: "Didn't I ask you to save the boy first?!"
"She's closer so she can be saved." Abe put the child into the maid's hand. The little girl inhaled the smoke and fell into a coma.
The tone in which she said this made Zhao Yuanlang stunned. It seems like I have heard this argument before.
The author has something to say: I wanted to change the plot temporarily in the afternoon, but it was already six o'clock when I discussed it with my friends. I thought of another plot but didn't elaborate on it. It seemed to be similar to this one, so I wrote this one. I felt a little uncomfortable writing it at night, and I don’t know if it was a bit abrupt.
The prince's emotional drama is too difficult to advance. I really can't fall in love with gentle characters. Characters like Gentle and Bingshan can only end up in one way in my hands - scumbags. I feel sorry for them. This article wants to step out of the safe zone, so I want to challenge the character setting that I have not written before, but it is really difficult to write. In the past, when I thought about the interaction between the male and female protagonists, my mind would crackle with laughter. When I was writing this story, I struggled to squeeze out the toothpaste.
