Chapter 60: The Tree Demon Plagues

The teahouse is set under a stout old tree. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info has not yet opened in spring, and there are no new shoots on the branches, only a thin layer of snow.

"Guest, come on, sit here. The guests here have just left, and the stools are still hot! ”

"Xiao Er, put on a pot of hot tea, four bowls of shredded pork noodles, one of which has an egg." Song Qingsong threw a piece of broken silver to the clever shopkeeper, led the horse to the stump, and tied it up.

After Chen Fan'er sat down, the two palanquin drivers chose the next table and took out towels to wipe their sweat. The weather is still cold in early spring, so if you stop to rest, you must wipe off your sweat to prevent the wind and cold.

"Let's hurry up and eat, hurry up in the afternoon, and strive to get to Mojia Village in the evening." Song Qingsong took the teapot in the small second-hand and poured it for Chen Fan'er.

Chen Fan'er carefully picked up the teacup with both hands, blew a few sips, and replied, "Everything is up to Uncle Song." I wonder when we can get to the state and county at our speed? ”

Song Qingsong poured his teacup full of water, put the teapot back in the middle of the table, and replied, "If nothing happens, you can arrive the evening the day after tomorrow." ”

With that, the shopkeeper came to the table with two bowls of steaming shredded pork noodles in both hands.

This little second has good eyesight, and took the initiative to put the bowl of noodles with eggs in front of Chen Fan'er, and then smiled and took out three copper plates, indicating that they were making change.

Song Qingsong waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to look for it.

Xiao Er bowed again and again to express his gratitude, trotted to finish serving food to the two palanquins, returned to Chen Fan'er, and whispered:

"This young lady, forgive me for talking too much. Mojia Village was attacked by monsters last month, and the entire village was destroyed. If Miss wants to move forward, it is better to bypass it. ”

Chen Fan'er was stunned, and immediately looked at Song Qingsong, her eyes with an inquiring meaning. After hearing the news, Song Qingsong also frowned.

"Xiao Er, we are going to Linhai County, where else can we stay overnight along the way?"

"Fifteen miles to the south, there should be a few hunters at the foot of the mountain. There aren't many of you, so it should be okay to stay overnight. ”

"Well, I advise you to get out of this area as soon as possible. In the past month, I don't know how many people have died. You see, I don't have any guests here. The boss is also preparing to close the store and flee, and now the whole shop is just me. ”

Xiao Er's face was a little frustrated when he spoke, he reached out and weighed the kettle, turned around and took it back to the kitchen to add water.

"I thought this was an official road, it should be very safe, but I also encountered an attack, it seems that we have to hurry up, I am afraid that the time will be delayed for a long time, and the danger will be more serious." After Song Qingsong finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate quickly.

Chen Faner was not born in an official family, so he naturally won't lose half a point in terms of noodle eating speed.

The two palanquin bearers finished eating noodles first, and then walked to the palanquin and waited. It didn't take long for Chen Fan'er and Song Qingsong to finish eating. Before leaving, Chen Fan'er also specially thanked the shopkeeper and thanked him for providing information to protect them from possible losses.

From the afternoon to the evening, there was no word all the way. Only three or four pedestrians were encountered on the entire official road, and it was terrible to be deserted.

"Ask your heart, why do you seem to be in such a good mood?" Chen Fan'er touched the white hair of her inquisition and asked curiously.

"Because that little two told the truth just now, all the 'truth' that he took the initiative to say was very delicious." The conscience was like a drunken rabbit, obediently leaning on Chen Fan'er's lap.

"I see, just tell me the truth, and you will benefit." Chen Fan'er thought in her heart, slowly opened the corner of the sedan curtain, and looked at the darkening sky outside, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually improved, and Song Qingsong approached the sedan chair and said, "Miss Fan'er, it's already the sixth household, and it's still just an empty house, and no one is gone." ”

Chen Fan'er was in the sedan chair and also heard Song Qingsong's worries. Along the way, I came across some Orion dwellings, but they were empty. In one room, the contents of the house were scattered all over the floor, showing obvious blood stains and signs of fighting.

"Uncle Song, there's no way to find it like this. As it gets dark, we might as well stay in the house for a while, and it will be more dangerous to hurry. Chen Fan'er's suggestion came from the sedan chair.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Qingsong also agreed.

The sedan chair and the horses stopped outside the hut in front of them, the sedan chair driver entered the house to sort out the space that could sleep at night, and Song Qingsong walked a few steps away, observing the surrounding situation.

Chen Fan'er stood outside the house, watching the night fall, and the uneasiness in her heart instinctively became a little heavier.

"Maybe I should find an opportunity to practice magic to at least protect my own safety." Chen Fan'er listened to the sound of the cold wind in the mountains and had such an idea.

In fact, the idea of learning divine arts sprouted as early as when he met the spider queen. It's a pity that learning magic is not like learning embroidery and cooking, and there is no chance if a good master leads you into the door.

"Miss Fan'er, it's cold outside, hurry back to the house and rest. We'll get up early tomorrow and continue on our way, trying to get to the state and county one day early. Song Qingsong came back from the outside with a tired face, he knew that this place was full of dangers, but he couldn't find anything wrong when he walked down.

Chen Fan'er covered her shawl and turned around to go back to the house.

"Rustle...... Sososo ......"

"What a sound!" Chen Fan'er's heart trembled, and she instinctively hid behind Song Qingsong.

Song Qingsong squinted and looked at the forest. There were indeed a few dark shadows approaching the house, and the strange sounds of the sand were coming from that direction.

"Miss Fan'er, come into the house!"

Song Qingsong pulled out the saber on his waist, the blade was brand new, obviously new.

As the sword light rushed into the forest, he heard a clattering slash and a strange scream.

"Miss, come inside, it's dangerous outside." The sedan chair man saw that Chen Fan'er was still at the door, and reminded worriedly.

"If it's dangerous, what can a wooden house do?" Chen Fan'er has experienced the danger of life and death, and it is obvious that she can remain calm in this kind of scene.

"Ah!!!h

A scream suddenly came from inside the house, and Chen Fan'er hurriedly turned around to find that the intricate tree roots had invaded the wooden house and were trapping another palanquin driver.

"Miss, run!" The sedan chair man beside Chen Fan'er noticed that something was wrong and immediately wanted to grab her and run out.

The "whoosh" branch spread wildly and grabbed the second sedan driver.

"Ahhh......hhh Miss save me! The palanquin man saw the tragic condition of his companion, and the moment he was caught, he panicked and asked Chen Fan'er for help.

But Chen Fan'er didn't dare to get close to these weird branches, and the sound of the sand around her became louder and louder, forcing her to keep away from the wooden house.

The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and after Chen Fan'er took a few steps back, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

"Whew!" Chen Fan'er turned around and saw a two-zhang tall tree, trembling its branches and grinning wide, about to attack him.

Chen Fan'er's face turned pale in an instant, and she could only reflexively reach out to block it.

"Boom!"

A figure jumped out of the air, and with a single punch, the Dryad was shattered. The man clapped his hands and said disdainfully: "Why are there only a few trees, not enough to kill." ”
