Seeing that he refused to tell him who he was, Furong stared at the robes on his body, thought about it for a while, and walked into the shack while deliberately guessing: "Ah, do you think that if you don't say it, you won't know about it?" You must be from Huainan and Jiangling, who was forced to become a soldier before leaving your hometown, and now, most of them ran out as deserters themselves, and for a while they had nowhere to live, so they fled to Songtai Village surrounded by mountains and settled down. Well, the poor road is not bad. ”

In fact, the reason why Furong made such a guess is that except for the fact that he should be a southerner from the coat on Jiang Zhongshi's body, the rest of the rules are deduced from common sense: now in troubled times, when the children of ordinary people's families grow up to Jiang Zhongshi's age, nine out of ten will be forcibly recruited into the army and go to the battlefield to serve all forces; Jiang Zhongshi ran to settle in a small mountain village alone, and if he hadn't escaped from the military camp without permission, it would be difficult to make a different explanation.

However, Furong's speculation based on common sense gave Jiang Zhongshi a great shock. He stood by the shack for a long time before he humbly asked Furong in the shack, "Dao Chief, aren't you the fairy girl who rescues the suffering in the Lingdu Temple halfway up the mountainside?" I can't hide anything from you! ”

This is the first time that Furong has heard that there is a so-called fairy girl living in the Lingdu Temple, she rolled her eyes, and she was noncommittal to Jiang Zhongshi's random speculation, and only pretended to be mysterious and said to him: "Poor Dao has recently chosen to cultivate the elixir on the rooftop of Wangwu Mountain to relieve the common people in the world, but because there are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards on this mountain, it is very unfavorable to refine the pill as scheduled. ”

Jiang Zhongshi shook his head without thinking, and was stunned to block Furong's sincere invitation: "Dao Chang's alchemy is to save people, and Xiaoshi is guarding the mountain, and he is about to fight the man-eating monster, which is also to save people." The man-eating monster is only on the mountainside, not on the top of the mountain, and I won't go. ”

Furong was so crying and laughing by him that she had to continue to persuade Jiang Zhongshi in the name of the fairy girl in the Lingdu Temple, and later, she even promised that as long as Jiang Zhongshi promised to accompany her to live on the rooftop for ten days and a half months, she would give her two elixirs that she had refined. According to her careful words to Jiang Zhongshi, as long as she takes the elixir she refines, it can prolong people's lives, not to mention, and it also has the miraculous effect of reviving the dead, if Jiang Zhongshi needs money, an elixir can be exchanged for 100 copper coins, which is enough to be worth all the property of a middle-class and upper-class family.

However, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, Jiang Zhongshi only recognized one thing: there was no man-eating monster on the top of the mountain, and he had to wait for the monster to appear and compete with it in the mountains and forests, and he didn't want to do anything else.

Later, when he was forced by Furong to be anxious, Jiang Zhongshi simply leaned over and lifted the dead leopard with both hands again, put it on his shoulders, and said to Furong: "Dao Chief, you just wait here alone for the rain to stop, the elders in the village are still waiting to eat leopard meat to pad their hunger, I will go down the mountain first." After that, he didn't wait for Fleur to say anything, he threw off his big stride and didn't even go back to the mountain.

But all the people in the world, who does not pray for the elimination of illness and disaster, and the prolongation of life, not to mention that a pill of elixir can be exchanged for hundreds of dollars, Furong thought that with two pills of elixir, he could steadily persuade Jiang Zhongshi to go up the mountain to accompany him, but he knew that this muddy boy was not moved at all, and was only interested in fighting with any monster, which was also a wonder in the world.

She wanted to go down the mountain to find another place to stay in the village where the villagers lived, but she was worried about attracting the attention of others and revealing her identity, but when she remembered the howling of fierce beasts in the mountains last night, she did not dare to go back to live on the rooftop. After much thought, Furong still decided to follow Jiang Zhongshi down the mountain, and then choose an opportunity to persuade him to agree to accompany him on the mountain for a few days. After all, Jiang Zhongshi is a foreigner who has not settled here for a long time, and he does not have as many relatives as locals, so it is not easy to attract the special attention of others, and he has just seen with his own eyes that he can strangle a fierce leopard to death, and he can accompany him, and he will spend the night on the rooftop without worry.

By the time Fleur secretly made up her mind, Jiang Zhongshi had already disappeared. Frightened, Fleur didn't care about the rain getting heavier and heavier outside, so she put on a hat and rushed out of the shack and chased along the way down the mountain.

When she arrived at the head of the village, she saw Jiang Zhongshi, who was carrying a leopard on her shoulder, passing by a villager from a distance, and walked into the village without looking back. She falsely claimed that Jiang Zhongshi was a disaster star and would bring disaster to Songtai Village, hoping to expel him from the village through the hands of the villagers, and she could take the opportunity to take him by her side as a guard.

To Fleur's disappointment, although the villager took her words to heart, he did not act on them out of the generosity and kindness of the mountain people. After Jiang Zhongshi sent the dead leopard back to the village, he did not stay in the village for a moment, and even if he returned to the mountain, he planned to spend the night in the shack and wait for the man-eating monster to appear. No matter how much Fleur tried to persuade him by the shack, he just wouldn't leave the shack. Fleur had no choice but to give up on him.

In the past ten days, Furong was forced by the threat of fierce beasts in the mountains, so she had to leave the rooftop before dark, hide in the mountains and seek land in Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, pavilions and other places in the mountains for the night, and then return to the rooftop to hide at dawn. Seeing that the half moon had passed, Nayu was taken in by Jingxuzi, and healed peacefully in the Lingdu Temple, and there were no accidents, Furong gradually felt relieved, and thought in her heart that in another three or five days, if everything went well, she would personally go down the mountain, enter the Lingdu Temple, see Jingxuzi, reveal her identity, and beg him to agree to stay in the meditation to practice.

On the day when Lai Xing'er led people to unexpectedly capture Li Shu, the king of Ying, in Songtai Village, Furong was alone on the rooftop until the sun was west, and the cat's waist came out of the Xuanyuan Cave, and was about to go down the mountain to find land for the night, but he saw a raging fire in the direction of Songtai Village at the foot of the mountain in the west.

Furong's heart tightened, and she immediately remembered that although Wangwu Mountain is high and densely forested, it is suitable for hiding, but it is not far from Puzhou. Before she quietly followed Na Yu out of Beijing, she had learned that the important town in the river in the north had been recovered by the official army, and the next target of the official army was Puzhou.

Could it be that the flames of war spread to Wangwu Mountain so quickly? Fleur thought of this possibility, and couldn't help but stop: if this was the case, it would be better to risk staying on the rooftop for one more night than to rush down the mountain and be bumped by the officers and soldiers at this time.

While she was still hesitating, she was surprised to find Na Yu holding a scholar-like person and climbing up to the rooftop. (To be continued.) )
