On that day, two hooked snakes, one large and one small, were frightened by the breath that burst out of Xiao Lei's body, and they escaped from the territory. Temporarily inhabited in a small plain unoccupied by monsters, the Hooked Snake was not badly injured, but only frightened.

The female hooked snake wanted to rest for a few days and then find a place, and it must be far away from the east, at least far away from the stone vines and Xiao Lei. But before they could find a new territory, they encountered a demon tide.

Groups of demons, regardless of race, size. One by one, they all lost their minds and rushed to the east excitedly. The Hooked Snake's cultivation was far superior to that of any of the demon beasts, but it could not withstand the demons who were already crazy, numerous, and ignorant of the coercion they exuded.

The little hooked snake was almost trampled into meat in the demon tide, and the female hooked snake was desperate to find that they couldn't break out of the boundless demon group at all, so she had to take the weak and unconscious little hooked snake into her mouth and be driven to the enchantment by the demon tide. The female hooked snake used almost half of her cultivation to protect herself, and was not bounced off by the power of the enchantment. But what it didn't expect was that as soon as it left the enchantment, it was faced with a group of human immortal cultivators attacking.

Unable to resist at all, it escaped at the cost of a tail, and it knew that it would not be able to hold out for long, and wanted to escape from the hole and find a place to hide the little hooked snake, and then burn it with the human meteorite that it was chasing. On the way to escape, he encountered the stone vine that was also in the cave, although he didn't know why the stone vine was with the human and was not found to be a demon. In just a split second, the mother hooked snake made the difficult decision to deliver the little hooked snake to her. It also can't guarantee whether the stone vine will be bad for the small hooked snake, but at least it is better than falling into human hands. After seeing the small hooked snake in Shi Manman's arms, it already had the will to die in its heart, so it did not die strongly under Xie Bingfeng's sword, and its thousand-year-old cultivation finally turned into ashes in the human world.

Shi Manman and Xiao Lei found that the little hooked snake knew nothing about what happened after the coma, and they were even more reluctant to tell it that its mother had died.

"Now your mother is gone...... You're by your side, you can follow me in the future. Shi Manman's heart had a feeling that he had never felt before, and he wanted to take the little hooked snake with him.

"I don't need your sympathy! Bad goblins! I'm going back to Kunlun to find my mother! The little hooked snake hissed and spat out the letter, revealing a pair of sharp fangs. It also remembered the fairy in front of it, which was tied into a knot, and it was not like a fairy who threw his own stones.

"Kunlun will only open again in three thousand years." Shi Manman rambled for a while.

"Three...... Three thousand years?! Older than his mother's age......" The little hooked snake was immediately depressed.

"You haven't recovered from your injuries now, and if you are left here, ordinary mountain eagles can eat you." Shi Manman looked at the little hooked snake seriously, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an arc, and in the eyes of the little hooked snake, this face was extremely treacherous.

"I ...... I can hide. Hibernate for 3,000 years! The little hooked snake retorted without confidence.

"Over the years, the human monks will definitely search for the demons that have come out of Kunlun. See one, kill one. "The stone vine said lightly about a very bloody thing.

"Xiao Lei, you have a lot of delicious food at home." Shi Manman suddenly turned to Xiao Lei.

"Ah...... Well. Xiao Lei was still listening to the stone vines threatening the little hooked snake with relish, and secretly thought in his heart, how could he never see the black side of this little goblin in Kunlun. Seeing Shi Manman ask himself, he nodded very cooperatively.

"Being with me can cover up your demonic spirit, looking for him when you're hungry, and looking for me when you're being bullied. If you still want to wait three thousand years for yourself......" Shi Manman raised his eyebrows and said no more.

"Many dignitaries and nobles in human beings are very keen to collect exotic beasts, and achieve the purpose of prolonging life by drinking their blood and devouring their flesh. Well, there is also a dish called snake soup. Xiao Lei saw the hesitation and fear of the little hooked snake, and the intention of playing in his heart rose, and he followed aside to add oil and vinegar.

"I'm not going to be a snake!" Although the little hooked snake doesn't know what snake soup is, it must be a terrifying thing. The two of them coaxed and deceived, and the little hooked snake, who was immature after all, finally agreed to stay by Shi Manman's side.

"You can't speak to anyone but us." Xiao Lei instructed.

"Why?" The little hooked snake also had tears that were intimidated by the two of them, and looked at Xiao Lei with a pair of round eyes.

"As soon as you speak, aren't you telling others that I'm a demon?" Xiao Lei found out that this little hooked snake is not only easy to deceive, but also has a low IQ.

"Oh...... So where do we go now? Looking for a place to hide? The little hooked snake thought that the sun and the moon would have a backer in the future, and after settling down, he asked the two expectantly.

"Go to my house." Xiao Lei replied.

"Your home? You have a home in the human world?! The little hooked snake looked at Xiao Lei in disbelief.

"I am a human being, and of course there is a home in the human world." Xiao Lei replied.

"You're human?" The little hooked snake spit out the letter to Xiao Lei suspiciously, "There is no trace of demonic energy, and it stinks." ”

Seeing that he was ridiculed by a little demon snake, Xiao Lei didn't care, and spread his hands noncommittally. He was now in a mess, his clothes were stained with mud, water, and blood from his own injuries, and his body did smell. If this image had been placed in the past, it would have been unbearable for a moment. Now there is a kind of unrestrained pleasure.

"You're full." The stone vine buried the core aside, and the little hooked snake said.

"Hmm." The little hooked snake replied tenderly.

"Then you will keep vigil tonight and digest your food as you please." The stone vine poked at the bottom of the small hooked snake's neck, a piece of skin held up by wild fruits. Under the teasing of the stone vines, the little hooked snake twisted its body unnaturally, trying to avoid the other party's touch.

The little hooked snake looked back at Xiao Lei, and saw that the other party was leaning against the tree next to the bonfire with his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was really sleeping or fake sleeping.

"Cunning humans." The little hooked snake muttered.

There is a lot of traffic and crowds. The sound of the horse's hooves tapping echoes the shouting and selling. The brick-paved streets are spacious enough to accommodate three or five horse-drawn carriages running side by side. There are many shops on both sides, and the crowd under the blue bricks and tiles is bustling, which is a lively scene.

At this moment, there were two people standing outside the city gate, and they could vaguely see their good appearance under the ragged and unkempt face. But the dress is incompatible with the bustling scene in the city.

"So many people! The red one looks delicious......" The little hooked snake poked its head out of the sleeve of the stone vine and sighed with a letter.

The stone vine slapped the little hooked snake's head hard, and the little hooked snake retracted its head with a terrible howl.

Although Shi Manman has a clip in his mind of the woman in red leaving behind the world, the feeling when he is in the scene is completely different. At this moment, Shi Manman stood under the towering city wall, looking up at the top blankly.

After leaving the mountain, the two found a small village. But there is no pawnshop in the village, so the two can only exchange Mingyuezhu for some silver and copper coins and a large amount of dry food at a very low price, and change into a set of old clothes in the village, after all, the clothes on the two of them are already in tatters. Shi Manman's current mana can't conjure up two new clothes, and there are only old clothes in the village, but it's better to be complete.

They inquired that the place where they were located was not far from Xiao Lei's hometown, so the two of them walked all the way to Xiao Lei's hometown - Shicheng for half a month without disaster.

Xiao Lei tidied up and tried to look neat as much as possible. Then he looked at Shi Manman, helped her remove the dead branches and leaves that were stuck to her hair, and said to her, "Let's go in." Shi Manman nodded, and the two walked towards the city.

"Stop!" The two people who were about to step into the city saw a halberd reflecting cold light appear in front of them.

"Beggars are forbidden to enter Stone City." A thinner soldier defending the city said to the two with a cold face.

The surrounding people who entered the city and those who did not enter the city came forward one after another when they saw the excitement to see. Seeing everyone's eyes on them, Xiao Lei waved his hand in embarrassment and explained, "We are not. ”

"Not? Those who enter the city will have ten copper plates per person. The soldiers guarding the city who did not stop the two on the other side said with a sneer.

"Why doesn't that person need to." Shi Manman pointed to one of the onlookers and said.

"Hmph, because I know him as a citizen of Stone City." The thinner soldier replied arrogantly.

When did Xiao Lei face such a cold eyebrow, and saw many people around him pointing at him and Shi Manman, although he was embarrassed in his heart, his anger gradually rose. He took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom, threw it to the soldier guarding the city, and snorted coldly: "I only recognize clothes, not people." ”

"Bold pariahs! Dare to attack this master. "The soldier who was thrown the silver was angry, when did these pariahs become so arrogant. He didn't care about what Xiao Lei threw at him, and was about to step forward and beat Xiao Lei up, but was immediately stopped by a soldier.

"Fourth brother, don't stop me. I have to beat this person to a human form! "The thinner soldier rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture about to beat someone. Another soldier shouted: "You see clearly! As he spoke, he smashed Xiao Lei into the other party's broken silver, and shook it in front of the other party. The whisper whispered in his ear: "It may be that some noble son who eloped away from home with a maid can't stand the suffering outside and runs back." Take a closer look at the boy, whether he is a little familiar. Don't offend people for small things. ”

As soon as the thinner soldier heard the other party's dissuasion, his eyes flickered when he saw the broken silver, and he immediately changed direction and shouted: "Look at what! Do you want to go into town! What are you looking at here that you have already entered the city? Do you want to hand in ten more copper plates? ”

The crowd was yelled, and they knew that there was nothing to see next, so they dispersed in a commotion, and there was still a little regret, or there was no fresh after-dinner topic.

"Ahem...... Go in. The soldier with the broken silver saw that his companion had finished yelling at the onlookers, and stood back at his post as if nothing had happened. I had to wave my hand at Shi Manmanxiao Lei in embarrassment, let them enter the city, and glared at the initiator with hatred. I saw that I was staring ahead without squinting. secretly scolded the other party in his heart for being "shameless".

"Why do they say we are beggars?" Shi Manman stopped and stopped all the way, and was curious about everyone, every corner, and every thing placed on the stall.

"We are indeed no different from beggars today. After all, these days of long journeys, there is no time to clean, and the clothes are worn and dirty. Heh, I have never had such an experience like today...... "Xiao Lei said as he walked, looking back with a wry smile but couldn't find Shi Manman's figure.

"What is this. Is it okay to eat? As he spoke, Shi Manman reached out and took down a string of sugar gourds. The sugar gourd is wrapped in a crystal sugar coating, and the reddish light in the sun is very cute. Shi Manman's bright eyes, staring at it for a moment, liked it very much.

When the peddler saw that Shi Manvine had taken down the sugar gourd, and seeing that she was wearing a dirty dress, he took back the sugar gourd in her hand in disgust, and expelled her: "Go, go, don't take it if you don't have money." ”

"Here you go." Shi Manman handed the vendor a piece of broken silver, took two strings of sugar gourds from the vendor's hand, and went to find Xiao Lei who was drowning in the crowd.

The peddler took the broken silver, looked at the back of the stone vine in the distance, the expression on his face was extremely strange, and he secretly said in his heart, "Do rich people like to dress like this these days?" But this thought was suddenly replaced by a deep joy, and this broken silver was enough for their family to spend half a month.

The autumn noon sun exudes the residual temperature of late summer, and Xiao Lei is sweating in the crowd at this time. After discovering that the stone vine was missing, he immediately turned back to look for it. Xiao Lei's original intention was to take Shi Manman to this bustling downtown to satisfy her curiosity, but now it has become a constraint.

"What are you looking for?" Xiao Lei's shoulder was patted, and the cold female voice behind him was like a cool breeze blowing through his hot heart. Xiao Lei immediately turned around, and the stone vine he saw was standing behind him, holding a half-eaten sugar gourd in one hand, and handing the sugar gourd in the other hand to Xiao Lei. The corners of her ruddy mouth were still stained with sugar, and her smiling eyes were sparkling in the sun.
