I stumbled along the way, and finally reached the foot of the mountain in the afternoon.

Looking back at the mountains, I always feel like everything last night was like a nightmare, but it is real, and grandpa really didn't come back.

The shoes were already covered with mud, and the jacket and pants were no longer in shape due to the stumbling along the way, so I had to go back home and cut the fabric that I could use to make something else.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, the adults in the village saw me coming back alone, still injured and embarrassed, and they were all whispering to me, whether they still threw disgusted eyes at me.

I don't have the strength to pay attention to this group anymore, and all I think about is grandpa now.

At this time, Aunt Zhang, who loves poverty in the village, yelled at me: "Stinky boy, why didn't your grandfather come back, was he killed by you in the mountains?"

This sentence caught the attention of all the villagers, and they all cast angry glances at me.

Aunt Zhang's words aroused my anger, and I stared at everyone in the village with hatred, leaving tears in my eyes.

When I returned to the door, I pushed the fence outside the yard, entered the house, and looked at the items that my grandfather had used, and my tears welled up in my heart.

"Yes, if it weren't for me, Grandpa wouldn't have disappeared," I said, looking at the kang where my grandfather had slept with him.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door, and I rubbed my eyes and went out. In front of him stood an old man with a kind face, hunched back, smoking a pipe.

"Grandpa the village chief," I shouted to the old man.

"Son, can you tell me what happened to you and your grandfather last night, and why you are the only one who came back today with your injuries?" said the village chief, putting down his pipe in his hand, and said to me

The village chief's grandfather is called Li Dingyuan, he is a respected old man in the village, and the people in the village respect him very much, I heard that the village chief was also a well-known fortune teller in the rivers and lakes when he was young, and he once traveled north and south with my grandfather, and after middle age, he came to this small mountain village with my grandfather to collect a demon, and after exhausting all his cultivation to subdue the demon, he settled here with my grandfather and became the village chief here. After that, the village was renamed "Demon Sealing Village".

I knew that the village chief was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves and had seen the world, so I told him about last night's experience, and included the purpose of the fox demon was me.

"For decades, your grandfather and I have been guarding this place to prevent demons from causing trouble, and in the days that your grandfather and I have been guarding, it has always been very peaceful, what happened recently?" said the village chief after hearing about my grandfather's experience last night.

I was surprised by the village chief's sudden words, the village chief and grandfather had been living in the Demon Sealing Village in order to stay here to guard the demons they suppressed back then.

The curiosity in my heart prompted me to ask, "Grandpa the village chief, what kind of demon did you and my grandfather seal back then?"

The village chief's grandfather looked at me and smiled: "At that time, I didn't know where the specific origin of the monster was, but it was just a little goblin that had just been conceived and couldn't be transformed into a human form. As for what kind of demon it is, you don't need to know. ”

"Is that because the demon's seal has been unstable recently, which has led to the recent growth of monsters in the mountains?" I said.

"That's not it, since the demon was sealed, the power of the demon has become very weak, and there are many little demons who want to get this power have been wandering in the mountains, waiting for an opportunity to devour and get this power. Grandpa lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and said, "Although the power of the demon is almost weakened by the seal, if you get the demon itself, refine it into the Jingyuan Pill and give it to any monster, it will be equivalent to washing the marrow, and the future cultivation will be more and more than a thousand miles." ”

"Will it be okay for grandpa to be captured by monsters" I was now thinking about my grandfather's safety, and I listened to the village chief's words, so I asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, these little monsters know that the demons were sealed by your grandfather and me, so naturally they have to get some useful information from your grandfather, and I believe that they will not hurt his life. After listening to the words of the village chief, my hanging heart finally relaxed.

"Would you like to rescue your grandfather?" asked the village chief.

"Yes," I replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, then how about you learn some skills from me during this time?" asked the village chief's grandfather with a smile.

I nodded without hesitation. The village chief's grandfather was just about to leave.

Seeing the village chief's grandfather arrive at the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and said, "At five o'clock tomorrow morning, I will see the pile of stones in the east next to the village, and there are few people." ”

I replied, and the village chief turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

I haven't eaten since I ran for my life last night, and I'm so hungry that I can't wait for an all-you-can-eat meal right in front of me.

I went to the yard and picked up some matches, lit a fire and stuffed it into the stove, and heated some steamed buns to solve the stomach problem.

It was already approaching evening, I was lying on the bed, digesting what the village chief said today, and suddenly felt a little strange, but I couldn't think of what was strange, so I simply didn't want to think about it, and decided to go out for a walk.

In the evening, there were basically no people on the roadside in the village, and there was no gossip in the ears.

While taking a walk, I looked at the mountain and thought, "The mountain looks pretty good from the outside in the evening." Before I knew it, I was out of the village.

When I arrived at the ravine not far from the village, I didn't know why I always felt that someone was calling my name. Out of curiosity, I followed the source of the sound and found a little girl about my age waving and smiling at me.

This little girl looks very smart, with white and tender skin, slender little hands, beautiful eyebrows gently raised, wearing a white dress, I feel hot in my heart, this must be the golden boy and girl in the sky, really beautiful.

I ran over and asked, "Who are you, a person who ran out in the middle of the night, and how do you know that my name is Jiang Ye?"

The little girl smiled: "You must not go to the village chief tomorrow".

I didn't understand the reason and asked, "Why, the village chief promised to rescue my grandfather, I can't help but go, I have to rescue my grandfather." ”

"Anyway, if you believe me, don't go, I won't hurt you," the little girl said to me with wide eyes.

After saying that, the little girl turned around and was about to leave, and I hurriedly tried to hold him, but who knew that he turned around like a fairy and avoided me.

"What's your name?" I asked, blushing.

When the little girl saw me, she blushed and stuck out her tongue and said, "I won't tell you."

I was about to say something more, but the little girl dropped the phrase "I'll come back to you" and turned away with a grin, and disappeared after a while.

I froze in place, looked in the direction the little girl had left, and silently said, "I must ask your name next time," and went back to the village.
