In the bamboo forest, the sound of birds echoed, Li Maicheng and their Han delegation walked in the bamboo forest, and Chu Yiqiu walked in the front.

And Bai Ruoxue walked with the little orange cat in her hand, touching the little orange cat's head from time to time, the little orange cat blinked and looked at Bai Ruoxue, and meowed from time to time.

They walked in the bamboo forest, walked through the mountains, the fields, and finally came to the small mountain village, only to see that the leaves of the small mountain village were yellow, and it was a little cold.

Chu Yiqiu saw the big poplar tree, pointed to the courtyard next to the poplar tree and said, "Brother Maicheng, that's the house." ”

Li Maicheng looked and found that there was a yard under the poplar tree, and there was still smoke in the earthen house, so it should be that the family had started to cook dinner.

And the little orange cat in Bai Ruoxue's arms, seeing the yard under the big poplar tree in front of him, knew that he had returned home, and then broke free from Bai Ruoxue's arms, and then ran to the yard under the poplar tree, meowing while running.

At this time, the two orange cats in the yard heard the cat's meow, and also ran out, and saw the little orange cat coming home, and the little orange cat's mother rushed over and licked the little orange cat home, and the little orange cat also meowed.

Bai Ruoxue was very moved when she saw this scene, and she was also very relieved, and at this time the owner of this family came out.

She was surprised to see so many people outside the courtyard, and she was very moved to see her other cat coming back, and she called out the name of the little orange cat: "Star, come back quickly." ”

When the little orange cat heard its owner shouting at it, she ran over, and the woman then picked up the little orange cat and said, "Xingxing, you are back, I want to kill you." ”

Then the little orange cat meowed, and the woman touched the little orange cat's head.

Seeing this, Li Maicheng said: "Girl, I am Li Maicheng, we saw this little orange cat in the bamboo forest, so we sent it over." ”

The woman replied, "Thank you, I'm Zhou Xuexing, what are you doing? ”

Li Maicheng replied: "Miss Xing'er, we are the envoy of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, passing by here, we caught a cat thief, that person's name is Chu Yiqiu, he led us over. ”

Apricot replied, "Well, thank you." ”

At this time, Chu Yiqiu shouted: "I'm not a cat thief, I'm a demon hunter, I'm a demon hunter, and they're monsters." ”

Xing'er was surprised when she heard this, she saw that Wu Shitong's head looked like a rhinoceros, and the head of a koi monster looked like a koi, so she said, "Brother Maicheng, why are there monsters in your mission?"

Li Maicheng replied: "Apricot girl, don't be afraid, they are good people and will not kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

Xing'er said: "Okay, then thank you for helping my little orange cat get it back." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Xing'er, no thanks, there should be a cat in your house who doesn't know where to go." ”

Xing'er replied, "Yes, it's been days, and I've searched the whole village, but I haven't found it." ”

Li Maicheng replied: "The cat was captured by this cat thief and locked up in his house." ”

At this time, Chu Yiqiu quibbled: "I said, I am not a cat thief, I am a demon hunter, and the cat is a cat demon, and I really caught it." ”

When Xing'er heard this, she said angrily: "You cat thief, return my orange cat quickly, don't slander it, it's not a cat demon, it's very well-behaved, where did it provoke you?"

Chu Yiqiu replied: "That orange cat is really a cat demon, I won't lie to you, no, I'll let you see that I was caught by him on my hands." ”

Then Chu Yiqiu raised his arm, and saw how many on his arm

A cat scratch scar.

Chu Yiqiu said: "Miss Xing'er, the orange cat that was caught has become a sperm, you can keep it again, but it is dangerous, I will help you arrest him, it is also a good thing." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he said angrily: "Chu Yiqiu, don't quibble, if we hadn't found this little orange cat in the bamboo forest and saved it, it would have been cut down by you a long time ago, so you better shut up." ”

Chu Yiqiu had no choice but to shut up and had nothing to say.

At this time, the apricot girl said, "Let's all come into the house, I just happened to be cooking, you can eat some too." ”

Li Maicheng said: "There are a lot of us, I'm afraid you don't cook enough, we have dry food with us, and we can heat up the dry food we brought." ”

The apricot girl said, "Okay." ”

At this time, Chu Yiqiu shouted that his face was flowered, and he wanted to wash his face, Li Maicheng replied: "Then you go, don't play tricks." ”

Chu Yiqiu replied, "Okay, Brother Maicheng." ”

Then Chu Yiqiu went to the kitchen alone to wash his face, and when Li Maicheng and they didn't pay attention, he jumped out of the kitchen window, and then flew up and fled, and that scene happened to be seen by Wu Shitong.

Wu Shitong shouted: "Senior brother, it's not good, Chu Yiqiu escaped." ”

Li Maicheng came back to his senses, ran out of the courtyard to take a look, and found that Chu Yiqiu had long since disappeared, so he had to come back again.

Wu Shidao: "Senior brother, what should I do?"

Li Maicheng said: "It's okay, let's go to the Demon Shaking Pavilion tomorrow to meet the people of the Earthquake Water Dao for a while." ”

Wu Shidao: "Okay then. ”

Gradually, dinner was ready, and Li Maicheng and the others were eating dinner around the table. They had noodles for dinner and a few fried dishes.

Li Maicheng ate the dishes and asked Miss Xing'er, "Xing'er, why are you alone in your family." ”

Xing'er replied: "My family runs a pharmacy, my father is Langzhong, he opened a pharmacy in Weinan County, called the Rejuvenation Pharmacy, usually with my mother in the pharmacy busy, rarely come back." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." Then when we go to Weinan County, go to your pharmacy to have a look. ”

Apricot replied, "Okay." I'm going to go to the county tomorrow, do you want to come with me? ”

Li Maicheng said: "But we still have to go to the Demon Shaking Pavilion tomorrow." ”

Xing'er replied, "Okay, but tomorrow I'll leave, and you won't have to take care of it when you live here." You'd better come with me to the county seat. ”

Li Maicheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, tomorrow we will go to the county seat to find an inn to live in, and then go to the Demon Pavilion." ”

Apricot replied, "Okay, that's it." ”

Bai Ruoxue was eating while ordering food for the three orange cats, and the three orange cats meowed while eating the vegetables.

After they had eaten, they all went to sleep, and the place was a little small, and the twenty men of their mission were only crammed into the house.

After one night, after dawn the next day, they left for Weinan County after breakfast, and before leaving, the apricot girl prepared a lot of rations for the three kittens, enough to eat for a week.

After Li Maicheng and the others left this small mountain village, they rode their horses and walked in the mountainous area, and rushed to the county seat of Naweinan, which was not far away, and they arrived after walking for half an hour.

After entering the county seat, the apricot girl separated from Li Maicheng, and Li Maicheng and they found an inn in the county to stay, which was called Weishan Inn.

The little second in the inn tied up Li Maicheng and their horses, and then arranged a guest room for them to live in.

Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxuejin

In their own room, they sat in the room and drank water, while Bai Ruoxue opened the window and looked outside, and suddenly saw many pedestrians on the street looking at the notice on the wall.

Seeing this, Bai Ruoxue said, "Maicheng, come and take a look, there are many people reading the notice on the street, do you want to go and see it too?"

Li Maicheng immediately walked over, looked at it, and then replied: "Ruoxue, okay, then let's go to the inn to have a look." ”

Then the two of them went out of the Weishan Inn, and then went to the street to look at the notice, the notice was surrounded by a lot of people who read the notice, Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue squeezed over, and then looked at what was written on the wall.

I saw that the notice read: "Looking for demons, last night in the north of the city Wang Xianyue's house, was robbed by a rabbit spirit, the rabbit spirit took a big knife, robbed Wang Daguan of six hundred taels of silver, and two gold bracelets, hoping to see the goblin of the people, enthusiastically went to the county government to provide clues, where there are valuable clues, reward twenty taels of silver." ”

When Li Maicheng saw the content on the notice, he immediately asked a little brother next to him and said, "Little brother, do you know where the county government is?"

The little brother pointed to a place not far in front of him and said, "See, there are two big stone lions at the door." ”

Li Maicheng looked at it, saw the big lion, and immediately replied, "Thank you, little brother." ”

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue left the corner where the notice was posted and walked towards the county office, they walked through the bustling streets, passed through the buildings, and finally came to the gate of the county office.

After the two of them entered, Li Maicheng beat the big drum, and then a catcher came over with several catchers.

The catcher said, "Brother, what do you want to sue?"

Li Maicheng replied: "Lord Catcher, in Xia Li Maicheng, I saw the notice on the street saying that it was looking for a demon, so I came over, I am a demon slayer, and I am willing to help you subdue the rabbit spirit." ”

The head catcher said: "Brother Maicheng, fortunately, in Shimoda Yibai, just call me Tian Catcher, you said that you are a demon slayer, so how are you going to catch that rabbit spirit?"

Li Maicheng replied: "Tian Zhutou, I have to go to the house of the king in the north of the city to see the situation first, and then catch the rabbit spirit." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay then." ”

As they were talking, at this time, Chu Yiqiu came with several demon hunters, Li Maicheng turned his head to see him, and said in surprise: "You cat thief, why did you come here." ”

Chu Yiqiu said: "Don't mention the cat thief again, let me say again that I am a demon hunter, and I also came to the county government to help Tian catch the rabbit spirit." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." ”

At this time, Tian Zhutou said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are here, welcome, what do you think of this rabbit spirit in the Demon Shaking Pavilion?"

Chu Yiqiu looked around for a moment and said, "Tian Zhutou, I think we have to go to the Wang Daguan's house in the north of the city first, ask about the situation, and then decide." ”

Tian Zhutou said: "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

At this time, Li Maicheng said: "Chu Yiqiu, return that orange cat to us, otherwise I will sue you for being a cat thief." ”

Chu Yiqiu said: "Then you sue, Tian Zhutou is here, who do you think he is on?"

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I'll settle accounts with you later, let's go to the Wang Daguan in the north of the city to have a look." ”

Chu Yiqiu said: "That's right, Li Maicheng, don't worry, that cat demon, we didn't treat him badly, but we ate and drank." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." ”

Then Tian Zhutou led Li Maicheng, Bai Ruoxue, and Chu Yiqiu to the house of Wang Daguan in the north of the city.
