21 White River Cold Autumn

"I finally feel a little bit like Daddy's skills. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the road in the northwest suburbs of Suzhou, Li Yiru talked to her sister while throwing the black ball up and down:

"You can leave us something without your own existence."

She completely ignored the scary names such as "the head of Shushan" and "the first in the world" that Li Xiaoyao often boasted in front of her daughters before.

"'Bring this thing to the capital and give it to San'"

Li Xiyue took the postscript with the bead and looked at it:

"It's good to say in the capital, who are these 'three'?"

"It doesn't matter, it should be the nickname of some famous person in the capital? Say hello when you arrive,"

The Suzhou city wall behind him has disappeared from view, and the road under his feet is no longer smooth, Li Yiru put away the beads, vigilant against the monsters that may appear at any time:

"Speaking of which, this is the first time we've actually walked in the wild."

Although the capital is also along the river and not very far from Suzhou, there is no boat traffic because it is blocked by continuous mountain ranges, forming a huge waterfall in the middle of this big river.

By land, you have to cross two steep mountains far apart, and youkai will almost certainly be haunted by youkai on the road, and the carriages that pass through will have to be guarded by enough men to dare to set off.

Nangong Xiaoxiao's Yangzhou, which once rushed to the students of the academy, was on a plain between the two mountain ranges.

"According to the information provided by the guild, before arriving at the Ghost Yin Mountain Range, there were two other towns on the road called Baihe and Heishui,"

Li Xiyue recalled the map she saw, and at the same time kept her guard against the beast's gaze flashing in the grass on the side of the road:

"Because Suzhou is too far away from them to provide timely assistance, the two towns have spontaneously organized militia guards to escort the caravanserais, and perhaps we can rest there."

In the distance, you can see a roadside town, with a towering city wall and gates, and there are patrolling guards on the battlements and at the gate, but I don't know if this is the white river or the black water.

"Woohoo!"

Maybe it was seeing that the prey was about to enter the untouchable town, and the red-eyed monsters that followed the sisters all the way jumped out - this time, of course, not rabbits,

"Looks like I'm overestimating the intelligence of these beasts."

Li Xiyue turned the two swords of the Heavenly Maiden in her hands, and held them one straight and one backward.

With blue fur and blood-red eyes, there were seven of these monsters that were half the size of ordinary wolves, and they surrounded Yiru and Xiyue in front of each other, showing their fangs to them.

The guards at the gate of the town seemed to have discovered the situation here, and after a commotion, they quickly gathered a dozen or so people to rush over.

However, this behavior clearly made the demon wolves feel threatened, and the one that looked like a wolf roared and pounced together.

"Be careful!"

The guards were caught up in time and shouted in surprise.

[Wind, Wind, Thunder] "[Blade Wind Thunder Wall]"

A whirlwind with purple thunder surrounded the two girls, and the demon wolves that pounced on them were bounced back, and fell to the ground trembling like a lightning strike,

The guards who finally arrived, although they were a little unclear, still cooperated with each other very professionally to kill the demon wolves.

"Hehe, it looks like we're a bit redundant,"

The leading guard was tall, with a Chinese face and a beard, and he smiled at the sisters at this time, but he felt a little kind:

"Welcome to White River."

……

Although the sparrow is small, it is not big, but there are all kinds of shops, inns, restaurants and other main functional buildings of the town.

"The two governors of Suzhou have advised us to move all to the city, but we are not willing to leave where we are used to."

Seeing Li Yiru looking around curiously, the captain of the guard who led the way explained:

"The young people in the village formed a village protection team to protect the village and business travelers, and after several years of development, it has become like this,"

"You said that you want to cross the Ghost Yin Mountain, then you can't go now, otherwise you will definitely not be able to cross it before dark."

"Uh-huh, thank you,"

The red-haired girl nodded at him:

"Let's just find an inn and rest for the night, so we don't have to bother the mayor."

"Uh...... You're rangers, aren't you? Actually, it's our town that has something to entrust you,"

The hunk guard seems a little embarrassed to ask a girl half his size to help:

"Please talk to the mayor for details, she said that if there is a ranger passing by, please go."

"That's right,"

Li Yiru followed him around the corner and saw the mayor's mansion, a small courtyard with many lush trees around it, but this is not the point.

"Hey, Xiaoxi, look at that door......"

The gate of that small courtyard is carved from blue jasper stone, and it looks extremely ornate, as if it were a ......

Looking around, passers-by and livestock still moved freely and there was nothing unusual.

"Probably a coincidence,"

Although there was no abnormality, Li Xiyue still stepped forward half a step in front of her sister.

"Please come in, please come in, here it is,"

The big guard pushed open the jade door first, and it didn't look abnormal.

- If the familiar white light hadn't erupted.

Late at night, the sky is full of stars, the forest, and it is eerie.

Li Yiru stood on the forest path, barely distinguishing that this was just now, no, the place where he met the seven wolves in the future,

The road has not yet been widened, and there is no city wall on the side of Baihe Village, only a small river that is not wide and two young men with torches on the bridge as a means to protect the village.

Because it was late at night and far away, the two bridge keepers did not notice the sisters.

"Ha ......"

The red-haired girl sighed:

"Ah Yue, how many more such doors do you guess?"

Without waiting for an answer, she continued:

"I guess, there are thirty of them in total - just to complete my umbrella spirit to seven of each~"

"Do you think you're the heroine of those legendary novels?"

Li Xiyue flew her with an eye knife:

"In that case, wouldn't there have been a whole bunch of beautiful men around you a long time ago?"

"All I need is Shioduke......"

Yiru suddenly came to her sister:

"Doesn't that sound like you've seen a lot?"

"I haven't seen it."

The brunette girl pinned her face to the side.

"Hey......

The red-haired girl leaned over and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard a loud movement in the forest, as if something had broken the trees all the way and rushed over.

"What's that?"

Li Xiyue immediately drew her twin swords and turned around to block them in front of her.

"I'm not a youkai...... I'm not a youkai......"

As the last few trees on the side of the road were knocked off, a familiar figure appeared in front of the sisters,

Underneath was a thick turquoise snaketail, topped by a frightened girl, with long unkempt red hair obscuring her apparently unclothed upper body.

"Really, why quarrel and run away because of the competition to recruit relatives, Daddy is a big liar!"

Li Yiru muttered dissatisfiedly, and hurriedly greeted the girl who was suspected of being a monster:

"Mom-"

[Wind, wind, water]" [Wind and dew drink]! ”

A breeze blew, and with the sound of dew dripping, many spots of turquoise light dissolved into the girl's body,

It seemed to be relieved by Yiru's voice, or that spell had worked well, and the girl in the form of a half-snake closed her eyes with peace of mind.

"Hey, hey!"

The red-haired girl hurriedly caught the half-snake girl who had fainted back into human form, and wrapped her cloak in her hand:

"Xiaoxi, hurry up and bring the clothes, it's the one that my mother specially prepared for you, the blue and white set-"

looked down at the face of the girl in his arms who was almost exactly the same as himself and his sister, and remembered that he gritted his teeth:

"Daddy is a big, bad, egg."

At this moment, Li Yiru's original mood to find Li Xiaoyao was even more urgent, although the purpose became to lecture him harshly......
