212: Chapter 77 Spoken Words_1 212: Chapter 77 Spoken Words_1 “Yan Xiaofei…”
Yan Fei had just carried Xu Xiaoyan across the river.
The two of them gathered so grass, twigs, and leaves from the riverbank and made a large straw hat.
The young girl put it on her head and leaned on his back, protecting both of them from the sun.
The sun was getting fiercer.
Without so sort of cover, they simply couldn’t bear it.
As he was carrying the girl, he heard her calling him softly from behind.
Yan Fei responded, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing, can’t I just call you?” The young girl replied with a chuckle.
“Yan Xiaofei…”
After a while, she called out again.
Yan Fei got clever and didn’t respond this ti.
“Why don’t you answer ?” The girl plucked a leaf from the hat and waved it in front of his face.
“Don’t block my view!
Why are you calling ?
Is there anything or not?” Yan Fei answered helplessly.
“No, yes, I an…sothing’s there.
What could it be?
Let think.” The girl laughed mischievously.
“Ah, right.
I just realized, you seem to have so talent for Bagua fortune-telling, don’t you?”
“What talent?” Yan Fei was confused.
“You know, the Bagua fortune-telling thing!
You forgot what you said before…”
“What did I say?”
“Ah, forget it, I won’t talk about it.” It seed like the girl didn’t want to talk about it, but then she resud.
“Do you rember when we were kids, and we saw Grandpa Guan in the main hall?
You said you were going to wield a larger sword than his when you grew up, didn’t you?”
“I forgot!
When did I say that?” Yan Fei asked in surprise, and then he said in satisfaction, “Well, it seems I was right after all.
I made a larger sword.
It’s way bigger than his, hehe!”
“Showing off, now are we?” The girl rolled her eyes at him.
Unfortunately, Yan Fei couldn’t see it.
After a while, the girl’s voice sounded again.
Blushing and whispering like she was talking to herself, she said, “You also told that I should…should…and you said you’d buy…buy…”
“What?
What did I say I’d buy for you?” Yan Fei casually asked.
“Nothing…I won’t tell you, idiot!” The girl’s voice suddenly beca loud.
She seed shy but also a little angry.
“And didn’t you say that you foresaw the paper factory by the river is going to go bankrupt and the river water will be clean?
You always brag.
When you make an accurate prediction, then I’ll tell you…humph!”
The two were almost at the cattle farm now, walking on a bridge.
It was noon.
The hot sun was almost unbearable, and there was hardly anyone on the road.
Only the sun shining on the river under the bridge was emitting a strange stench that made people uncomfortable.
It happened to give the girl a reason to continue the conversation.
After hearing Xu Xiaoyan’s words, Yanfei looked at the dark water under the bridge, and casually replied: “Rest assured!
I’m very accurate in what I say.
You’ll have to call Immortal Yan in the future!”
“Immortal Yan…” The girl repeated the phrase and burst into laughter.
Yan Fei was very confident, and didn’t pay attention to the girl’s laughter.
He walked under the hot sun, his steps full of energy.
What is most common in a rural folklore story?
Of course, it’s demons and monsters.
And in the tales of demons and monsters, who is the main character that appears the most?
The answer is: the snake!
Yes, the snake!
There are always stories circulating in different areas about soone encountering a terrifying giant snake or python, either in the mountains or in the fields.
So are the thickness of the water bucket, as long as several houses; so have chicken combs on their heads, horns on their heads, wings on their ribs, and claws under their abdon…
In short, any ‘snake’ that you can think of, or even can’t think of, soone has ‘encountered’ it.
All these stories must be detailed, with specific nas and locations.
Who the person was, what they were doing, and under what circumstances they ‘encountered’ the snake.
Of course, what the snake looks like is also clearly described.
No matter whether the listener believes it or not, the storyteller themselves believes it first.
The scene is always the sa: a gust of wind blows first, then two copper bell-sized eyes appear.
If the story happens at night, those eyes are definitely like two lanterns, and they even shine.
There are also those who can’t describe in detail due to verbal clumsiness, but that’s okay.
That’s because they were too terrified at the ti.
So were so scared that they fell on the spot, while others were panicked and ran for their lives, without paying too much attention to the details!
Anyway, in any village, if you just ask the farrs casually, they are guaranteed to tell you seven or eight versions of such stories.
And each version seems more ‘real’ than the last.
If you refuse to believe it, there will certainly be people who confidently say that a village has lost a dog and a farm has lost a cow or sheep.
No need to ask, they must have been stolen and eaten by the giant python.
How else could they have disappeared?
So when Yan Fei was able to transform into a Titan Python, he felt quite pleased.
Other dinosaurs are unique and if soone sees those there could be panic and talking.
But if he transforms into a giant python, he can just let people who see him talk away!
The surrounding area, every village, must have a few people who ‘see’ a dozen giant and strange pythons every year, right?
Of course, in all the stories, although there are so many sightings of pythons and strange snakes, there has never been a story about soone being swallowed by a snake.
This big loophole is ignored by everyone.
After all, such a huge snake would disdain to eat humans because we are too small.
It’s hardly worth their effort to eat humans!
Now speaking of the paper factory, Yan Fei also rembered.
He had been busy for the past few days and hadn’t gone there to ‘inspect’ their work for several days.
Now reminded by Xu Xiaoyan, his old grudges ca up and he decided to go and harass them.
In the cattle farm, Yan Fei found so dicine and put it on the girl’s wound, asking her not to move.
He even brought her als directly to her, almost feeding her by hand.
The girl was ant to help, but she seed to be causing more trouble!
If it weren’t for the girl insisting on carrying that little bit of stuff, Yan Fei would’ve been ho by now.
Instead, he was still taking care of the patient.
However, there was no point in arguing since the patient wasn’t happy.
She kept showing her discontent, often indicating how useless she was.
The caretaker was busy and constantly running around, but he seed to enjoy it.
He was always ready to comfort her, while also showing off his muscles, indicating that he was doing what he should’ve been doing…
Thus, the eyes of the cared for one started to sparkle with admiration, like a pool of spring water…
Watching the sparkling spring water, the caretaker felt like he was on cloud nine, and beca even more motivated to care for her…
They won’t ntion the display of affection for just a scrape on their skin.
