After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Chapter 208

Qi Yi looked at the other person. Li Mancang looked ahead at the road. His lips trembled slightly, perhaps because of the wind or because of fear.

"I heard."

"You heard it too!?" Li Mancang's eyes were wide open, and bloodshot could be vaguely seen in them. It seemed that he didn't get a good night's sleep.

Qi Yi said: "My sister would cry and make trouble sleeping at night."

Li Mancang thought he had bumped into something unclean, so he asked quietly. Who would have thought that the boy from the Qi family was a fool? He was so angry that he stretched out his hand to punch Qi Yi on the back.

Qi Yi's reaction was quick. He jumped up and down every day looking for food in the wild. He was also very agile, so the punch did not land effectively.

He didn't mean to provoke the other person, but he really didn't hear any strange crying sound.

What he heard was the laughter of children.

But he wasn't ready to say it.

Li Mancang didn't really have to fight. It was so dark out there, and it would be even more terrifying if the enemies ran away and he was left alone.

“You brat!” The tall boy snorted and said angrily, “Go back and listen carefully. Is it your sister crying, or something… crying?”

Qi Yi continued walking, following the voice and asked, "What is that? A ghost?"

"Hey! Don't do that!" Li Mancang tried to cover Qi Yi's mouth after hearing that word, but Qi Yi dodged again, "You can't say more about this! Grandma has been talking about it, and if you say too much, it will come looking for you!"

Qi Yi closed his mouth and listened to this for the time being. Li Mancang was the only son in his family. Although he was poor, his parents and his hometown spoiled him very much. He didn't do much heavy work. He was responsible for the light work of selling things and snacks. Naturally, he had more time to listen to the gossips of the elderly than Qi Yi himself.

In this small village, the most powerful and knowledgeable person is the village chief. Then there are the old people who chat every day. They listen to gossip about other people's affairs and know things that others don't know.

"I got up early and told my grandma about it. She cooked an egg for me, rolled it on my body for a long time and then ate it. She said that was all."

After Li Mancang finished speaking, he smacked his lips, as if he was still savoring the taste of the eggs.

Qi Yi didn't respond, but kept the solution in mind, and asked curiously, "Why roll the eggs?"

Li Mancang was stunned by the question. His grandma didn't explain the reason to him in the morning. She just rolled around and muttered something incomprehensible, and then ate after she finished rolling.

I didn't want to be stumped by the kid's question, so I just made up a story: "It's just... it's just that... get out of here, that's it! Get that thing out! Yes! Get out!"

"And my grandma also said that," Li Mancang patted Qi Yi's shoulder, "Do you know what my grandma said?"

Qi Yi also wanted to listen to what was said next, so he responded, "What did you say?"

"This is the one that's unhappy!" He pointed upwards quietly. Qi Yi didn't understand and asked, "Which one?"

"Oh! That's 'that'!" The boy slung the basket on his elbows, put his fingertips together, stretched out his elbows, and made the shape of a mountain.

Oh, mountain god.

Qi nodded and thought it made sense. Perhaps it was true. On the day his mother gave birth, they happened to be offering sacrifices to the mountain god. Someone wanted to buy chickens from his family, but Qi refused and just slaughtered them and made soup.

When I went to bed that night, I heard the laughter. I was so busy from morning till night that I didn't even notice such a coincidence.

There were no big events in the small mountain village. The marriage of a daughter-in-law would be discussed by everyone for half a year. When encountering such a big event, Li Mancang wanted to gather all the villagers to listen. However, he only had such a stupid boy around him. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with Qi Yi's reaction, and pretended to be mysterious:

"Do you know that rolling the eggs is not the end?"

Qi Yi got the point this time: "Is it not enough to just roll the eggs? Then what should I do?"

Li Mancang leaned back proudly, touched the basket and said, "We have to offer sacrifices!"

In the morning, grandma watched her grandson finish eating the eggs, and her dry mouth kept saying "bye, bye, I have to go and pray..."

Li Mancang remembered it in his heart. Who else should he worship? There were no temples or Taoist temples nearby, but there was a mountain god. He must be worshipping the mountain god!

Qi Yi was a little confused: "I just told someone to get out, but now I have to go and worship?"

Li Mancang's face flushed when he heard that. He managed to get some warmth out of the cold wind and said in a strong voice, "Tsk! You know nothing, kid!"

After saying that, he took two quick steps forward, leaving Qi Yi behind.

Qi Yi looked at the back of the person in front of him and did not take the initiative to chase him. He was just thinking about where to get an egg.

Li Mancang walked for a while, listened to the footsteps behind him, looked at the road that seemed to have no end in the distance, and slowly slowed down his pace.

The two young men gradually walked side by side and lined up outside the city gate in the rising sunlight.

At the end of the Yin hour and the beginning of the Mao hour, the city gates opened, and the brick and earth city walls looked like a golden bean cake under the morning light. People were inspected in order and entered the market.

Qi Yi did not follow the crowd into the market, but instead walked along the winding street into a long alley. Before he reached the end, a small door suddenly opened and a bucket of dirty water was poured into the alley.

Qi Yi didn't care about his wet sandals, and took two quick steps to hold the door: "Little Brother Fu!"

"Hey?" A short-haired head popped out from the door. It was Xiaofu who was helping in the kitchen. He was lazy and poured dirty water into the back alley and was caught red-handed.

Fortunately, this person was familiar to me. I yawned and said:

"Xiao Qi, why are you here today? Do you have something good?"

Qi Yi took out a rabbit wrapped in mud and some grass from his backpack: "I picked them last night, they are very tender."

Xiaofu put the bucket down, looked at it over and over for a while, took out five cents from his pocket, counted them on his palm, and took another one back.

"It's a little small, but for its freshness, here! Take it!"

Qi nodded, took the copper coin, and carefully put it on the belt inside the inner pocket of his clothes. Xiao Fuzi always deducted a few coins here, but it was better than setting up a stall in the street after hunting wild food and being caught by someone and telling his stepfather, so that he would not lose a penny.

Xiao Fuzi put the rabbit in his arms, and then held the bucket with both hands to cover his stomach, so that no one would notice on the way back. He sighed, "I haven't had a good sleep for a few days, so I'll catch up."

Qi Yi was about to leave when he suddenly asked, "What's bothering Xiaofu so much that he can't sleep well?"

Xiao Fuzi heard this and said, "It's just that some kid is hungry and howling all day long in the night, disturbing people's sleep! I'll ask the master to scold him and scold him in front of the street. It will definitely work. The master insisted that he didn't hear anything!"

Qi Yi felt a chill in his heart: "Your master didn't hear it, but if you heard it, would you..."

Xiao Fuzi looked at the boy at the door and immediately understood what he meant. He said in disgust, "Pah, pah, pah!"

"What are you talking about! I'm upright and honest, who dares to come to me?"

"unlucky!"

After Xiao Fuzi finished speaking, he didn't care about Qi Yi's reaction and slammed the door shut.

Qi Yi looked at the door, turned around and left, heading towards the market to sell wild vegetables.
