Chapter 119: Coincidence (1)
It is also a coincidence that Xuan Zhuyi and these people traveled for nearly two months, and finally arrived in Dongyang County. Everyone thought that many bad things had happened to them in Xuancheng County before, so they thought from the bottom of their hearts that they wanted to bypass Xuancheng County and walk from the next Huiji County to Wu County. Coincidentally, as soon as everyone arrived in Dongyang County, it was almost late at night, and they could only light a fire in the woods on the outskirts of the city for the night. And it was precisely this night, on the fifteenth day of the month, that it was time for Yu Tzu He's old illness to recur. As soon as it was night, Shang Ling looked at her performance and felt a little wrong, and when she walked to the woods on the outskirts of Dongyang County, she supported her all the way to the limit.
"Yu Tzu Hyuk!" Shang Ling helped Yu Cihe, who was gradually becoming unconscious, to sit under a tree, "How are you?" ”
"It's okay" Listening to Yu Cihe's tone, he was like an old man in his last years. Shang Ling frowned and took off his robe and covered her: "Deeper exposure, don't deepen the condition." Mu Jinggong squatted down and took Yu Cihe's hand and said, "It's not a way for you to be like this for a long time, it's better to find a cure." I don't know the source of your disease yet, so I'll take a look at it for you first and see if there's any way to curb it. ”
"No need," Yu Cihe grabbed Mu Jinggong's hand and said weakly, "This disease has been around for a long time, it's just an old disease, it's not a big deal, and there is no need to spend energy on me." ”
Xuan Zhuyi said on the side: "It's not that the old disease can't be cured, even if it is hopeless, you have to give it a try!" ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "If it's hopeless, why waste your energy? In the end, it is a symptom rather than a root cause. ”
Mu Zhixi: "In the past, at the fifteenth day of every month, Yu Cihe fell ill, but fortunately, we all lived in the guest house, at least to shelter from the wind and rain. Today we are sleeping here, fearing that the disease will get worse. Let's find some small branches, make a fire, survive tonight, and then go to the doctor to discuss Yu Tzu-hyuk's illness. ”
Ouyang Ruolin: "Then Shang Ling will stay and take care of Yu Cihe, and let's go find something to make a fire." ”
Xuan Zhuyi: "It's okay, this fire is always used." After a few people walked away, Yu Cihe grabbed Shang Ling's clothes and said softly, "You can go too." ”
Shang Ling said righteously: "I can't go, what if I'm in danger if I leave?" Now you are no better than before, maybe you can't even beat an ordinary vicious dog, how can I rest assured that you are here alone? ”
"It's okay, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the vicious dog can't help me."
"Am I talking to you about vicious dogs right now?" Shang Ling only felt at this moment that Yu Cihe was deliberately arguing with him, thinking about his previous words, some things seemed to be a bit stupid.
"I want to recuperate alone, if you don't feel at ease, just stand far away, don't let me see it." Seeing that Yu Cihe had compromised a little, and his body was weak, he no longer wanted to say a word, so Shang Ling also compromised: "You rest, I'll just go." Hearing this, Yu Cihe loosened his hand, Shang Ling stood up and walked in the direction of Xuan Zhuyi and the others, while Yu Cihe closed his eyes slightly, leaned his head against the tree, and slowly breathed. Shang Ling saw that she was about to fall asleep against the tree, so he was also relieved, and walked straight ahead with a pacing step, thinking that when he didn't go far, he stopped to look at Yu Cihe. But as he walked, he was still thinking about his own business. This walk, and when I came back to my senses, I don't know where I went. He suddenly remembered Yu Tzu-hyuk, and quickly turned around and walked in the opposite direction, but he didn't want to be attracted by a shining thing just after taking two steps. The thing had a long tail, it looked fluffy, it had two fluffy pointed ears, it wasn't very big, it was white all over its body, and it was crouching on a thick enough branch, and it didn't know what it was looking at. Shang Ling was curious, so he quietly approached to see what this thing was. As soon as he lifted his foot, he stepped on a dead branch, and with a "click", it was particularly crisp in the silent woods. The thing on the branch naturally heard the sound and turned to look at Shang Ling. In the darkness, the thing that glowed all over its body seemed to glow a little faintly in its eyes. Shang Ling was embarrassed and didn't dare to move anymore, staring at his eyes and not even daring to breathe, desperately trying to see what this glowing thing was. The thing didn't seem to be afraid of people, it stood up and flicked its tail, turned its direction, turned to Shang Ling, and jumped in front of Shang Ling. At the moment when the thing jumped down, Shang Ling subconsciously turned around, spread his legs and ran. He only stopped when he was out of breath when he was running, and he was a little relieved to see that there was nothing to see in the darkness around him. "What was that lit up just now? Why did you suddenly jump at me? Good thing I ran fast! It's better not to provoke this kind of strange thing, and in extraordinary times, you should be cautious in everything you do. Shang Ling couldn't help but want to praise himself when he thought about it, "Let's hurry back and find Yu Cihe." He turned to walk back, his eyes swept casually, and a glimmer of light shone out of the corners of his eyes. He was startled, and secretly looked at the light out of the corner of his eye, and the strange thing that had been squatting on the branch just now was sitting at his feet. Shang Ling was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, closed his eyes and secretly recycled his feet, and when he received half of it, the glowing thing suddenly stretched out his claws and hugged Shang Ling's feet who had secretly withdrawn. Shang Ling's heart sank, and he secretly thought: "It's over, if you have to fight to the death, then I'm not welcome." He put his hand on his waist, slowly drew out the ochre fan, opened his eyes sharply, and swept away the thing that was holding him with one sweeping leg, and the other leaned down and took the ochre fan and hit the glowing thing. But before the ochre fan touched the thing, Shang Ling stopped by himself. He knew this thing, it was the little red fox he had met several times before. At this moment, the little fox was lying on the ground, his eyes looked at Shang Ling's eyes as if he was about to shed tears, and Shang Ling hurriedly put away the ochre fan and reached out to pick up the little fox and put it in his arms. Strange to say, this little fox was still glowing, but the moment Shang Ling picked it up, the light dimmed until it disappeared. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I really didn't recognize you! Shang Ling touched the little fox's head and couldn't stop apologizing to it. The little fox seemed to have been greatly wronged, burying his head in the crook of Shang Ling's arm and not moving. A gust of wind blew, and there was a sound of rustling in the woods, Shang Ling only felt that there were people everywhere around him at this time, and they seemed to be laughing at him for not recognizing the little fox, and he himself wanted to quickly find a crack in the ground to get into. When he thought of the sweeping leg he had just made, he was even more ashamed. He was busy reaching out to touch the little fox's front legs, and the little fox shook a little, and the head buried in Shang Ling's arm also stretched out. It looked at Shang Ling with its big tear-filled eyes, and Shang Ling explained in a gentle voice embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just hurt you, I'll rub it for you." As he spoke, Shang Ling reached out to touch its front legs, and this time the little fox did not shake, but leaned his head sideways on Shang Ling's arm and looked at the hand on his front legs. Shang Ling felt a little comforted in his heart, so he reached out and touched its head. The little fox rolled over, jumped down, and stood in front of Shang Ling in a circle. Shang Ling squatted down and stretched out his hand, and the little fox came over and put his head up.
"Why are you here? Did you come with me? But why don't you know where to run when it's dawn? The little fox lifted his head, put one of his front paws up, and patted it lightly. Shang Ling blurted out two words: "fate" The little fox put his paws down and put his head up again. Shang Ling smiled: "What? How can we communicate like this? Fate? Why did I suddenly say this word? Could it be that you want to tell me that we met by fate? The little fox didn't take his head away this time, but stretched out his little tongue and licked it at Shang Ling's palm. It's," Shang Ling blurted out again, he said a little incredulously, "It seems that you are really spiritual!" Compared to the last time I saw you, you seem to be even more powerful. The little fox shook his head on Shang Ling's hand, and then suddenly raised his head, tilting his ears as if listening to something. Seeing its reaction, Shang Ling also became alert: "What's wrong?" A man and a fox stood in the dark woods and listened to something, and another gust of wind rose, and there seemed to be some human voices mixed in the squirrel. Listening carefully to these Xu people's voices, there are some real and some familiar. Shang Ling was thinking about these voices, and only listened to "Sister! A sharp female voice pierced the night sky, and Shang Ling subconsciously said, "Mu Zhixi! The little fox shook its head, flicked its tail again, and its whole body became bright again, and it ran in the direction from which the sound came, and Shang Ling chased after the little fox all the way.
Mu Zhixi was firmly tied to the tree by several branches and was hung to a height of three feet. Mu Jinggong stood below, holding a silver needle, but he couldn't do anything at all. Mu Zhixi's saber fell at the root of the tree, only about five steps away from Mu Jinggong. Mu Jinggong stared at Mu Zhixi's saber, and took advantage of the gap where the branches wrapped around Mu Zhixi rushed out like an arrow on a string, heading straight for the saber. The tree spirit saw Mu Jinggong running towards the sword, and the other half of the branch "boomed" towards Mu Jinggong's position. Mu Jinggong dodged, was hit by a few branches, and flew out sideways, and the sword was also knocked farther away from Mu Jinggong. Mu Jinggong felt as if his ribs were broken, and when he raised his eyes to look at Mu Zhixi, he was fixed on a tree and couldn't move.
"Sister!" Mu Jinggong shouted Mu Zhixi, Mu Zhixi was about to speak, but his mouth was entangled in another branch and he couldn't move. After cleaning up Mu Zhixi, the tree spirit's target finally turned to Mu Jinggong.
