Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen: The Three Snakes of the Water Family

The four of Huo Xiaoxie sent off the third aunt and the others for a while, and came to the intersection of the south of Sanbao Town, where several caravans gathered, with as many as four or five hundred people, people shouting horses, urging the team to move, and gradually left far away. Pan Zi stood at the intersection, waved his hands and shouted: "Qingmiao, Qingliu, don't be seduced by other men, you must remember me." Qingmiao and Qingliu couldn't hear these words. Huo Xiaoxie told Pan Zi and Qiao Daqiao not to stay here for a long time, but to go back to Wang's Inn before making plans.

The crowd had just walked a few steps when a man in a khaki robe walked out steadily from the side of the road and nodded to Huo Xiaoxie and the others. This person is very familiar, it is Tian Wen. Seeing that it was Tian Wen, Huo Xiaoxie was both surprised and delighted, as soon as he caught up with him, he was about to talk to Tian Wen. Tian Wen didn't wait for Huo Xiaoxie to come forward, and whispered: "Follow me." After saying that, he quickly walked down the road and walked towards the dense forest beside the road. Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to neglect, and led Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er to follow closely.

Tian Wen kept walking fast, neither speaking nor looking back, leading Huo Xiaoxie and the others away.Huo Xiaoxie knew Tian asked this person's dull personality, since he didn't want to talk, he couldn't ask anything, so he had to follow along. The group of people stopped at the foot of a grassy slope. Tian Wen turned around slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Are you ready?" Huo Xiaoxie let out an ah, thought about what Tian Wen meant, and replied, "What are you ready for?" Tian asked, "Why did I come here?" Huo Xiaoxie said, "Come and find me."

Tian asked, "Why do you want to find me?" Huo Xiaoxie thought, this field question is to test me, afraid that I might forget it. Huo Xiaoxie was about to open his mouth to answer "Steal the cauldron", but his heart suddenly became agitated, and he changed his words: "Brother Tian Wen, are you afraid of my repentance? If I repent, I will not come here with you." Tian Wen said, "Pan Zi! You have repented!" Pan Zi said injustice: "No, I never said I repented." Tian asked, "Pan Zi, what can I do with you?" Pan Zi opened his mouth to answer, but Huo Xiaoxie grabbed Pan Zi abruptly, stopped Pan Zi's words, and said with a smile, "Brother Tian Wen, when did you speak more than five words? Seven words, plus The word Panzi is nine characters long."

Tian asked, "What do you mean by that?" Huo Xiaoxie said coldly: "Don't you understand? You..." "It's boring!" A low shout seemed to come from the ground, interrupting Huo Xiaoxie's speech, and with a swish, a man stood up from the grass out of thin air, a man in a khaki robe, this man The appearance is just like Tian Wen. When Huo Xiaoxie saw the new Tian Wen, he yelled, "Brother Tian Wen!" The newcomer Tian Wen replied: "Good!" Pan Zi also understood, pointed at the previous field and cursed: "Fuck you, you're a fake, you almost got my words out! Mother's bastard, who are you!"

The previous "Tian Wen" saw this form, frowned fiercely, glanced at Tian Wen who was standing aside, his voice also changed, and said, "Tian Wen, you came so fast!" Tian Wen said, "Please go away!" Fake Tianwen's expression changed, and he screamed: "Tujia Disciple, offended! No wonder!" As he spoke, he dodged and fell into the grass. The grass rustled softly, and he was about to run away. Pan Zi snorted angrily, and shouted: "You son of a bitch, if you deceive us, you want to run away!" With the cannon in his hand turned out, he chased after Fake Tian in the direction where he was hiding, and shot out three iron balls .Since Pan Zi followed the third aunt's caravan, he has been collecting all kinds of items that can be shot with air guns. Iron beads are the most collected, followed by iron nails, and even pinched extremely hard shit.Pan Zi always kept a small handful of iron beads in his coat pocket, just in case.

Pan Zi smashed three iron balls into the grass, but there was no reaction.Pan Zi rushed to catch up, attracting Qiao Da and Qiao Er to follow quickly. Tian Wen turned his body sideways, took a quick step, reached out his hand to stop Pan Zi and the others, and said, "Don't chase!" Pan Zi said angrily, "Brother Tian Wen, you are not angry when someone pretends to be you to deceive others?" Tian Wen said, "No problem!" Huo Xiaoxie caught up a few steps, got together, and said to Tian Wen: "This must be the Shui family's disguise technique! It really looks like you, if he didn't speak as sharply as you, he would really be caught by him out of words."

Tian Wen looked into the distance, and said slowly, "Water King is here." When Tian Wen mentioned the water king, Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi felt fearful. The water king Liuchuan was too mysterious and unpredictable, and his strength was beyond imagination.Liuchuan, the water king in Jinghuo Valley, came forward to stop Huo Xiaoxie and Shui Yaoer's marriage. Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi were like lambs on the chopping board, unable to resist at all. Huo Xiaoxie was even more apprehensive towards Water King Liuchuan, and felt weird. He received a black stone fire order from Water King Liuchuan in Tiancheng, and sincerely asked Huo Xiaoxie to save Water Yaoer's life; At that time, Liuchuan, the water king, watched Huo Xiaoxie being expelled from Huo's house, but he didn't feel any reluctance to let go; Liuchuan, the water king, tore his face in the Jinghuo Valley, and Huo Xiaoxie's life would be ended by a slight difference.Every time I meet Huo Xiaoxie, Water King Rukawa's attitude is very different, there is no emotional inheritance, it seems that every time I see Water King Rukawa, they are not the same.

Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi felt like they were facing a big enemy, they immediately lowered their bodies and stood ready.No matter how confused Qiao Da and Qiao Er were, they still knew this situation well, and immediately guarded Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi's sides, preparing for a big fight. Pan Zi whispered: "Water King Liuchuan is here?!" Tian Wen didn't answer, but raised his head and shouted, "Come out!" "Hey", "haha", "haha" different shrill laughter from men and women came from different directions. "Tian Wen! Hehe! Good job!"

"Tujia Gaotu, the future Tujia, haha!" "Hehe, Tian Wen, you are really hard to imitate!" Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, and Qiao Daqiao searched everywhere, but they couldn't find where they were at all, as if they were voices blowing in the wind, the voices sounded like two men and one woman, but Listening to the initial laughter, it seems that there are more people. Tian Wen snorted, "Where is Water King!" A high-profile female voice said: "Hehehehe! Why did the water king come here? Is the water king something you can see whenever you want?" A sharp male voice said: "Hey hey hey, Water King is not interested in your coming to Sanbao Town!"

Another male voice with a gentle tone said: "Hahahaha, Tian Wen, do whatever you want, we just want to prove it to Huo Xiaoxie, it's just for fun!" Tian Wengao shouted: "Extremely boring!" "Hehe, if the three snakes of the Shui family are not boring, is there anyone in the world who is more boring than us?" "The three snakes of the Shui family like to do boring things, hehe." "Haha, Tian Wen, it's not the first time that the three Snakes of the Shui family have met you, but this time, the water king didn't come, which disappointed you. I won't bother you anymore, we'll leave now. Hahahaha." The man with a gentle voice laughed, and the laughter gradually spread far and wide, and soon became silent. Huo Xiaoxie heard that no one spoke anymore, and asked cautiously: "Brother Tian, ​​did you leave?" Tian asked, "Let's go." Pan Zi took a long breath and said, "What are they called, the three snakes of the Shui family? They come and go without a trace, as if haunted by ghosts, and now I still feel hairy." Qiao's big head also clicked his mouth and said: "It's really like a mountain ghost. When my second son and I were chopping wood and digging herbs, we heard the mountain ghost talking. It's similar to this feeling." Joe Erzhuo snorted: "My name is Claw! You are a big watermelon. Master Huo, Master Pan, what Big Watermelon said was right. We searched for most of the night that time, but we couldn't find where the person who spoke was. We were terrified." Qiao Da and Qiao Er looked at each other and nodded, as if they were still afraid of the past. Huo Xiaoxie asked Tian Wen: "Brother Tian, ​​who are the three snakes of the Shui family? They speak and act so strangely." Tian Wen said silently: "A person who hides in the dark." Huo Xiaoxie said: "A hidden person? What kind of person is this?" Tian Wen said, "No one has seen it." Huo Xiaoxie took a breath and said, "Has anyone seen what they look like?" Tian Wen said, "Yes." Huo Xiaoxie asked again: "Then what do the three snakes of the Shui family do?" Tian Wen said, "It's a boring thing." After Tian Wen finished speaking, he strode out, waved his hand, and signaled Huo Xiaoxie and the others to follow. Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi were at a loss, the three snakes of the Shui family flickered, and Tian Wen's few words added countless mysteries to these people.And how many unknown secrets are there in the Five Elements Water family? Tian Wen advanced quite fast, Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi and others followed closely, and the group walked towards Sanbao Town without saying a word. In the evening, when the sky was already dark, in the secret house where Shui Yaoer and Zheng Zedao were, an ordinary man dressed as a caravan traveler flashed into the room and walked quickly to the inner room. Water Monster, Zheng Zedao and four or five people were sitting quietly in the room, some of them were a little anxious. This tripper entered the inner room, the Huo family disciple couldn't hold back, stood up and looked over with concern. The tripman bowed to the water monster, nodded his greetings to Zheng Zedao, and said a little bit ashamedly: "The water monster, the fire messenger, except for the leopard dog who is still in the Wang Inn, Huo Xiaoxie and the others are gone. I haven't found it yet. So..." The disciple of the Shui family, who was disguised as a trooper, looked up at the water monster, and dared not say anything more. The water monster said: "Continue talking." The traveler said: "At noon today, the Wang family's caravan and several caravans jointly set off and headed south. Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er did not follow the Wang family's caravan. When walking back to the town, a man in a khaki robe stopped them by the side of the road and burrowed into the forest beside the road. I immediately chased after them, but I didn't catch up... I looked around for a long time at the place where I lost their traces. No clues can be found. Up to now, all the people who can be sent out have been sent out, but their whereabouts are still unknown." Shui Yaoer said: "Understood, it is rare for a person to disappear under your nose." Qu Zishou lowered his head even more, and said, "Water monster, please punish me." Shui Yaoer said: "No need, go down, and continue to search hard. The underground is the key point. They must have hid underground." The tripman nodded in agreement, and retreated as if flying. The Shui family members in the house were all worried, for them, it was really rare to lose someone in broad daylight, and they were still experts of the Shui family. Someone stood up and whispered to the water monster: "Tian Wen alone can avoid us, but the four of them, Huo Xiaoxie and the others, have a huge target, how could they disappear so quickly? Water monster, something is wrong .” Another Shui family also stood up and said to Shui Yaoer: "Shui Yaoer, even if Tian Wen can move mountains and cover earth, he shouldn't be able to do this." Shui Yaoer pondered for a while, walked away a few steps, glanced at Zheng Zedao, and asked, "Huo Chuan Messenger, what do you think?" Zheng Zedao smiled slightly, stood up and bowed to Shui Yaoer and the disciples of the Shui family, looking very humble. Zheng Zedao said: "The Huo family's tracking skills are really incomparable to the Shui family's. The Tu family's search for ways to hide in the sky and the earth is even more difficult to understand. I really don't have any insights. I am ashamed!" Shui Yaoer and the disciples of the Shui family felt very relieved when they heard what Zheng Zedao said. This Zheng Zedao really inherited the three characters of "Qi Xing Xing" from the Huo family. Water Monster nodded, and said: "Huochuan Messenger, don't be humble, just speak up if you have any ideas." Zheng Zedao said with a smile: "I just had a sudden whim, some disrespectful thoughts, I think it's ridiculous, so please ask the Shui family brothers if I said it." The water monster said: "But it's okay to say." Zheng Zedao said: "Okay. I'm just guessing that this cooperation between Water and Fire is a decision made by Water King and Fire King. Will Water King arrange other people to assist us? These masters of the Shui family who helped us found Tian Wen, Huo Xiaoxie and others conspired, preconceived?" Shui Yao'er and everyone in the Shui family looked at each other, and they all let out a soft sigh, thoughtful. Water Yaoer glanced at Zheng Zedao again, and said softly: "Huochuan Messenger, what you said is very reasonable, but I, an insider, have been negligent." Zheng Zedao chuckled lightly and said, "The water monster is not to blame, it's just me talking nonsense." The water demon was about to say more, when she heard a gentle man's voice suddenly coming from the crack in the corner of the room. "Haha, the Fire Emissary is not easy! Sure enough, he is the one Lord Water King likes!" Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard the sudden sound, the disciple of the Huo family had already jumped up, staring at the corner of the wall where the sound came from, ready to attack.On the contrary, Shui Yaoer and Shui family didn't act rashly, they were quite surprised. Zheng Zedao shouted in a low voice: "Don't move." He stopped the Huo family from attacking the corner. A high-profile female voice came from the other side of the house: "Hehe, don't worry. We are also from the Shui family." A sharp man's voice also came from the roof: "Hey, water monster, all the Shui family juniors, long time no see." The water monster replied, "Is my father here?" A gentle male voice said: "No, Master Shuiwang saw your letter from Feige and asked us to come and have a look." A sharp male voice said: "Hey, Lord Water King has a secret message to Shui Yaoer, Shui Yaoer, you come with us, in fact, you will step back." The high-profile female voice said: "Hehe, all the high-level disciples of the Huo family, I'm sorry, it's a little personal matter of the Shui family." The gentle male voice said: "Haha, messenger of the fire, you and the water monster can come together." During the conversation, it suddenly stopped, and there was no more sound, just like a ghost. The water monster snorted: "Okay!" Turning to Zheng Zedao, he said, "Huo Chuan Messenger, come with me." Zheng Zedao nodded in agreement, the water monster had already stepped out of the house and fled outside.Zheng Zedao didn't dare to be negligent, and when he used his body skills, he was as fast as lightning, and he didn't fall behind. Shui Yaoer and Zheng Zedao walked fast and never slack, and they didn't see anyone in contact with Shui Yaoer along the way. They didn't look left and right, and didn't make any abnormal noises to lead the way. Shui Yaoer drove towards the edge of Sanbao Town as if he was familiar with the road. Zheng Zedao was very surprised. What communication method did the Shui family use to do this?Zheng Zedao was more curious and followed quickly, but did not ask any more questions at this time. The water monster rushed to the outside of a lonely abandoned house, and then slowed down, jumping from the wall into the deserted courtyard. Zheng Zedao followed inside and stood beside the water monster. Shui Yaoer looked straight at her and said, "Three Snakes of the Shui Family, I'm here." "Haha, water monster, your skills are really getting deeper and deeper." The gentle man's voice floated with the wind. "Hey, this Zheng Zedao's Huo family's movement skills are also good!" A sharp male voice followed. "Hehe, the Huo Chuan messenger, you are really young and promising. After three years in the Huo family, you have achieved such an achievement. It's not easy." Zheng Zedao replied: "The three seniors of the Shui family, please be polite." "Haha", "hehe", "haha" the voices of the three snakes of the Shui family laughed again, and this laughter made Zheng Zedao feel uncomfortable all over his body. "Haha, Water Monster, Lord Water King has an order, ordering me to pass it on to you and Zheng Zedao." Shui Yaoer knelt down on the ground and said in a low voice: "Shui Yaoer obeys orders." Zheng Zedao lowered his head and cupped his fists, and read: "Zheng Zedao, a disciple of the Huo family, obeys the order of Lord Water King." At this time, there was no more voice from the three snakes of the Shui family, only another tone sounded, which was the voice of the water king Liuchuan. . "Water monster, Huochuan messenger, you have worked hard. You have cooperated very well in Sanbao Town, and I am very happy. I already know about Tian Wen's visit to Sanbao Town. Don't talk to him, don't conflict with him, everything will go smoothly If Tian Wen’s purpose is to drive away all kinds of people in Sanbao Town, you should also help him do it. This is the friendship of our Five Elements family, and it should be so. When the idlers in Sanbao Town disperse, you should also immediately On the return trip, don’t stay for long. Besides, Huo Chuan Messenger, I heard that Huo Xiaoxie, an abandoned disciple of the Huo Family, is also in Sanbao Town. If he gets entangled with Tian Wen, please teach him a little lesson, but don’t take his life, so as to save his life. It is the head of the Five Elements family. The Three Snakes of the Shui family have passed on a message to you. If I come in person, the water monster will obey, and the fire messenger can decide on his own. Rukawa." After finishing the words of Water King Liuchuan, Shui Yaoer bowed to the ground and said: "Shui Yaoer obeys father's decree." Zheng Zedao also said in a deep and respectful voice: "I will do everything according to Master Shui Wang's orders." The gentle male voice came again: "Shui Yaoer, Zheng Zedao, listen up, all of you? We're leaving now, see you next time." A sharp male voice said: "Hey, don't disclose this to anyone." The high-profile female voice said: "Hehe, then there will be a period later." As soon as the voice finished speaking, it had cleared away like green smoke, the surrounding was silent, and a needle could be heard falling, so it seemed that someone had just finished speaking? Shui Yaoer stood up slowly, stood still for a moment, then turned and left. Seeing that this is a good time to ask questions, Zheng Zedao asked cautiously: "Shui Yaoer, the three seniors of the Shui family, the three snakes, are really not easy. Who are they?" Water Monster replied: "They are not three people." "Oh!! Not three people? Then how many people?" "I do not know either." "Oh... so what do the three Snake seniors of the Shui family do?" "It's a boring thing." Shui Yao'er's answer was actually the same as Tian Wen's. "A boring thing? This..." Zheng Zedao, such a smart person, couldn't figure it out. He thought that the three snakes of the Shui family should be the right-hand man next to the water king Liuchuan, and they were specially passed on for the water king Rukawa. The son gave him such a weird answer. Zheng Zedao said: "But the three snakes of the Shui family don't seem to be doing boring things... Don't worry about the water monster, I'm too curious, I shouldn't ask so many things about the Shui family." Shui Yaoer replied: "It's okay, because hearing the three snakes of the Shui family talk is not a good thing at all." The water demon didn't say any more, and came out over the wall. Huo Xiaoxie, Tian Wen and the others were sitting quietly in a small hole in the ground, and a few bean sprout lamps were flickering, which could only illuminate an area the size of a palm. Tian Wen was stable, sitting cross-legged with half-closed eyes, as quiet as a stone Buddha.Huo Xiaoxie could still bear it, but Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er couldn't take it anymore, and kept scratching their heads. Pan Zi sized Tian Wen and Huo Xiaoxie a few times, and couldn't help but said, "Brother Tian Wen, we've been sitting in this small hole for several hours, so when will this be the end, I'm really going to suffocate gone." Qiao Da and Qiao Er also hummed: "Yes, yes, when can we eat?" Tian Wen didn't move, raised his eyelids slightly, and said, "Soon." Huo Xiaoxie whispered: "Brother Tian Wen, are we hiding from someone?" Tian asked, "Yes!" Pan Zi sighed: "There are five of us here, if we want to fight, who should we be afraid of? It's too embarrassing to hide here." Tian Wen said, "Wait a little longer!" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Brother Tian Wen, could it be that you are hiding from the three snakes of the Shui family?" Tian Wen slowly turned his head to look at Huo Xiaoxie, and said, "Yes!" Huo Xiaoxie wondered: "Could it be that the three snakes of the Shui family will be disadvantageous to us?" Tian asked, "No." Huo Xiaoxie was even more puzzled, and asked: "Then why should we avoid them?" Tian Wen replied in a deep voice: "Maggots with bones." Huo Xiaoxie sighed secretly, according to Tian Wen's way of speaking, he didn't know when he would be able to find out the real reason, but since Tian Wen decided to do this, he must have his own difficulties. Tian Wen saw what Huo Xiaoxie was thinking, and added another sentence: "I have to hide." It was the first time that Tian Wen spoke twice in a row. Although there was a gap in between, Huo Xiaoxie and the others finally understood that the reason why Tian Wen avoided it was that Tian Wen believed that the three snakes of the Shui family were "bones." Maggots have to hide."The three snakes of the Shui family can be described in this way, presumably what they have done is really unbearable.And what kind of ability the three snakes of the Shui family have, they can force a wise and foolish Tian Wen to wait in a cave, which undoubtedly makes Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi unable to figure out the general idea. Everyone was silent again, and after sitting quietly like this for more than half an hour, Tian Wen opened his eyes wide, squatted up, and said, "You can go." Huo Xiaoxie, Tian Wen and others drilled out from a bluestone floor, Tian Wen turned around and wiped the ground, and when he stood up, the ground was no longer abnormal. Tian asked them where they were hiding, and it turned out to be in the back garden of a rich family. They crawled out from the ground, and the light was still on in the front room, and there were people living in it.Tian Wen, Huo Xiaoxie and the others are all masters at stealing, how could they alarm others, with a few slaps, the five big men have already climbed out of the courtyard wall and walked onto the street.If this family knew that there was a "den of thieves" underground in their backyard, it would be no wonder they weren't scared to death.
