Chapter 2532: There is a Green Snake at the Foot of Wisteria Mountain
The final result of the group was that Chu Jiangchuan and the servant rode in front on horseback, while the bearded man with missing arms and ears and his two minions followed behind with their hands tied.
Their three horses were divided among Shi Li, Bai Mo and Ye Lin.
This strange group marched into Qingzhou City in a mighty manner.
Qingzhou City, the closest city to Zither Mountain, is a very rich and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as he entered the city, he saw a bustling crowd of people, and the lively atmosphere hit him in the face. However, the wind blowing in his face also made Shi Li smell an unpleasant smell.
That is the unique smell of realgar, which is what snakes hate the most.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and the streets are busier than usual." Ye Lin said nearby, which just happened to clear up some confusion.
Around the Dragon Boat Festival, every household would prepare realgar wine and drink realgar wine to prevent and repel snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Shi Li: ...
Is it too late for me to run now?
But she had already boarded the "pirate ship", and if she ran away now, the bounty mission would be a complete failure.
"So what are those people doing?"
Perhaps it was because Shi Li and his group were too conspicuous, they ran into a few patrolling constables after only taking a few steps forward.
This way, a lot of trouble can be saved.
Chu Jiangchuan directly handed the three desperate criminals over to the constable, and told them about their previous evil deeds. With Ye Lin, Shi Li and others as witnesses, the three bad guys had no room for quibbling and could only accept their fate and let the constable take them away.
Of course, their horses were also handed over to the constables and taken away and confiscated.
"Then I, Chu, and all of you, will say goodbye now."
Chu Jiangchuan said goodbye to Shi Li and others again.
Everyone thanked him solemnly one by one, and then they parted ways.
Only the servant boy beside Chu Jiangchuan looked a little unnatural. After walking a distance, he looked at Chu Jiangchuan in confusion, "Sir, those two women are clearly..."
"Stop talking too much." Chu Jiangchuan glanced at the servant coldly, and immediately told him to shut up.
"Miss Bai and Miss Shi, we still need to plan for a long time to find someone. How about I take you two to find a place to stay first?"
Ye Lin was still kind-hearted, because he had heard Bai Mo say before that he only remembered that his relative also had the surname Bai, but didn't know any other information, so he wanted to help them settle down first and then slowly look for their relatives.
This was exactly what Bai Mo wanted, and he immediately thanked him, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Ye."
Shi Li acted like a silent figure throughout the whole process, following Bai Mo obediently, and occasionally looking at the hustle and bustle around her.
But sometimes she was caught off guard, and the person walking towards her might have just bought realgar, and in an instant she was so irritated that she wanted to cover her face and run away.
"What a coincidence! There is an empty house for rent next to my clinic. The owner is a very nice person. I'll take you there to ask. It will definitely be much more cost-effective than staying in an inn."
Ye Lin introduced the situation to the two women as he walked.
When I walked near his clinic, I met several acquaintances and we greeted each other warmly.
"Dr. Xiao Ye is back!"
Ye Lin also responded patiently one by one, until a curious aunt stared at Bai Mo and Shi Li and asked directly: "This is Doctor Xiao Ye's..."
"Friend, I, my friend." Ye Lin stuttered suddenly, his face flushed, and he waved his hands to explain.
The auntie smiled with an "I understand" expression, looked at Bai Mo and Shi Li carefully, and even nodded lovingly.
For things like this, once they are subjectively determined, it will be of no use even if the parties involved explain it.
But Bai Mo, who came to the human world for the first time, did not understand the meaning of Meiyan Guansu. He just lowered his head and asked Shi Li curiously, "What does this auntie mean?"
What else could it mean? He thinks you are Ye Lin's wife.
Shi Li certainly understood, but Ye Lin was right beside her, so she couldn't say it directly, otherwise it might have the opposite effect, so she just evaded the question by saying, "Maybe the aunt thought you were good-looking, so she looked at you a few more times."
Bai Mo didn't doubt that Shi Li was fooling her. She just raised her hand and touched her face. She didn't quite understand the difference between beauty and ugliness in the world.
The landlord that Ye Lin mentioned was indeed very reliable, a gentle uncle. The house had been rented to another family before, but the whole family moved out of Qingzhou City last month and wanted to find a new tenant.
With Ye Lin in the middle, my uncle readily agreed to rent the house to Bai Mo and Shi Li, and even reduced the rent by one string of silver per ten days.
Shi Li followed Bai Mo and settled down in Qingzhou City temporarily.
When the landlord and Ye Lin left, only two snake demons were left.
Shi Li couldn't help but said worriedly: "If you want to repay the favor, don't get yourself involved. Humans and demons are on different paths, you can't give yourself to me."
"Of course I know that. Why do you think so?" Bai Mo frowned slightly in confusion.
Shi Li then explained why the aunt she had just met was laughing, and Bai Mo suddenly realized.
At this time, a monk holding a golden bowl and a Zen staff also arrived in Qingzhou City just before the city gate was closed.
"There's a strong demonic aura here."
