Chapter 588: Two Big Snakes
The small room is impervious to wind and snow.
There were landscape paintings hanging on the wall. Zhao Siqi and Yuan Yao sat opposite each other, brewing a pot of hot tea.
Above the two of them, a frog the size of a copper coin was holding a very small jade cup, sipping wine, smacking his lips, his cheeks flushed in the heat from the charcoal fire in the small stove.
"Don't mind, my uncle is an alcoholic."
Yuan Yao introduced General Jinhua to Zhao Siqi and said, "Speaking of which, why did you end up in Qiantang?"
Zhao Siqi and Yuan Yao did not have a close relationship. They had met a few times, and both were at Gong Mengbi's banquet, so Yuan Yao was not very familiar with Zhao Siqi's affairs.
Zhao Siqi then told Yuan Yao the whole story. After listening to it, Yuan Yao sighed and said, "It's really not easy."
General Jinhua looked at Zhao Siqi. There was a circle of golden patterns in his eye sockets. When he looked at Zhao Siqi, his eyes seemed to glow slightly. Then he said: "Little fox is really capable. You will be blessed in the future after enduring hardships."
Zhao Siqi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare to think about my future happiness, as long as I can get by."
General Jinhua laughed heartily and said, "Although life is a bit hard now, it's not uncomfortable, is it?"
Zhao Siqi thought about it and there was really no way to say that he felt uncomfortable.
Although a person will feel lonely and miserable when wandering, will encounter many incredible things, and will endure many setbacks and hardships, but when a person is in the world, his heart is as broad as the world, and he is indeed not uncomfortable.
To be precise, Zhao Siqi was originally ignorant and had no temper. He didn't understand what happiness, freedom, reluctance, and sadness were.
But now, everyone gradually understands.
Zhao Siqi asked about Yuan Yao's recent situation. Yuan Yao said, "I am practicing here with my uncle and helping him manage the temple. It's nothing special."
In fact, the most important thing to do was to pick up the drunk old man from the theater to prevent him from being taken home accidentally.
However, when Zhao Siqi saw that Yuan Yao was already able to transform into a human form, he knew that his practice must have made some progress.
Zhao Siqi then asked Yuan Yao about Gong Mengbi's recent situation. Yuan Yao replied, "The last time I saw him was when he came to Qiantang. It's been a while, so I don't know what he's doing now. But you don't have to worry about him. He's a man with a lot of bad intentions. He only wants to harm others, not him."
Zhao Siqi smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to refute nor agree with it.
Fortunately, Yuan Yao doesn't need others' approval to say bad things about Gong Mengbi. Theoretically, at this time there should be a little gossip and a little black guy to refute him, which can arouse his desire to create.
Yuan Yao was not discouraged even though Zhao Siqi could not play this role.
Yuan Yao offered him some tea, then fished out some small change and copper coins from the temple and handed them to Zhao Siqi, saying, "This is for you. Going to the city will cost some money. Now that you've rested, you can go. Otherwise, if you attract snakes, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
General Jinhua is a frog and Yuan Yao is a golden toad.
Snakes are their nemesis, and they are more afraid of them than foxes are of dogs.
Zhao Siqi didn't refuse and said, "I can only repay your kindness another day."
Yuan Yao said: "What's there to report? Stay alive first."
After warming up, Zhao Siqi took the five red dogs into the city and stayed there for a few days.
Yuan Yao said he didn't care about him, but he went to chat with him every day. When he heard that he came from Mindi, he asked him if he had seen the Toad Temple.
Zhao Siqi had never seen it, and Yuan Yao felt it was a pity.
He has not forgotten the hatred for Toad Temple, but he has not had the opportunity to take revenge.
Before seven days had passed, Zhao Siqi passed away.
After leaving Qiantang and heading west, it didn't take long for it to snow again.
The snow was so white that it was difficult to tell east, west, south and north.
Two or three days after Zhao Siqi left Qiantang, two uninvited guests came to Yongjin Gate.
One was a somewhat sinister young man in blue, and the other was a very beautiful woman in white.
Yuan Yao was standing at the window of a distant restaurant, looking down. General Jinhua was leaning against the window drinking, and he saw the two men.
Yuan Yao didn't notice it at first, until the drunken General Jinhua said, "Two really big snakes."
He suddenly woke up and recognized the two monsters.
At the same time, the woman in white suddenly raised her head and looked towards the restaurant.
The young man in blue followed her gaze but saw nothing. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at, Sister Lizhu?"
The woman in white, Lizhu, slowly withdrew her gaze and said, "It seems like someone is spying on us."
The young man in blue showed some annoyance and said, "That guy must have been guided by an expert. No matter how hard we chased him, we couldn't catch him. We kept running into some tough opponents along the way."
Lizhu laughed and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely meet him. Just like me, you will meet him one day. It just takes some patience."
The young man in green looked gloomy and said, "I haven't felt anything new yet. It seems I have to stay in Qiantang for a few more days."
Lizhu said, "Let's just rest for a few days. The wind and snow have been so strong along the way. It's not as warm and humid as Jiaozhi. It's a relief to arrive in Qiantang, where it's actually much warmer."
The brother and sister rested for three days and then set off again.
When they left Qiantang, Yuan Yao was secretly watching from a distance.
Yuan Yao frowned and said, "A sixth-rank white snake and a seventh-rank green snake. Xiao Qi, you should be more nimble."
If he went straight, he was afraid that these two people would be faster than him and might catch up with him.
Fortunately, Zhao Siqi already had experience. Although he had never met the two snake demons head-on, he had had some contact with them.
He would also make friends while wandering, who would be willing to help him look back and then report back to the future.
And when the green snake sensed him, it was also when he dreamed of the green snake.
As his cultivation became more advanced and the distance between them grew closer, his dreams became clearer.
For example, this time when he traveled west, he did not walk in a straight line.
He had no destination in mind, so he often changed directions, sometimes escaping into the mountains, sometimes crossing a river, sometimes entering a city, and sometimes hiding in the countryside.
There is no direction in the first place. As long as I am not found, the whole world is my home.
This winter was unusual.
It's colder than before, much colder.
The probability of encountering snow ghosts is also much higher. They are strange creatures formed by the souls of those who died in the snow. They fly along with the wind and snow, and will turn people who were frozen to death into snow corpses.
Zhao Siqi had met him before and had sought help from Gong Mengbi at that time.
Later, I met him again and fought with him, but in most cases I ended up running away.
Compared to before, there are more snow corpses encountered this time.
The weather is too cold and people are too fragile.
