They followed the squad of these riders to their station.

It is easy to tell from their attire that they are nomads who live in this steppe. Some of their fabrics and patterns on them are somewhat similar to the style of Qinglize. In addition to this, there are some other distinctive decorations and crafts, perhaps influenced by the towns bordering the grasslands.

But the inhabitants of these steppes were not enthusiastic, and the eyes of these outsiders who looked at them were full of indescribable hostility—perhaps not hostility, and did not really stab the spear in their hands at them, which was enough to save face. Their language is not much different from Mandarin, but it does have some accents that are not easy to understand.

Following the previous person into the dense camp, Shi Wuqi said to them in a low voice:

"Something isn't right."

"How," Shanhai replied softly, "It's normal for such xenophobia." ”

"No, it's not. I've heard those monsters say that the Bili natives are simple and hospitable, but now ......"

"Times are going to change."

Ah Luan answered. The leader turned his head and glared at them viciously, signaling them to be quiet. They came to the very center, and the biggest, tent. Before entering, they were searched to determine if they had any weapons on them. A whisk, an umbrella, a fan, and a sword made of wood...... It's really not dangerous.

Probably.

"Patriarch," he said, lifting the curtain, "it was our disadvantage to let that abominable youkai escape." We met a couple of people claiming to be travelers, whose identities were suspicious, and people had already brought them! ”

It sounds like an escort for a repeat offender, which is really unpleasant. But in the obviously unfavorable situation, they still honestly walked in with their heads down and saluted the people inside.

After that, Yamakai raised his head and looked directly at the man who was sitting in the center, known as the patriarch. By his appearance alone, they could not tell his age, but only that it was a weather-beaten face, covered with fine wrinkles, and his complexion was much darker than that of the young man, like cracked pottery. A thick black beard hung on his face, looking very fierce, but his face was soft and he smiled kindly. He was also much stronger, and seemed to be able to stomp his feet, and the earth could tremble.

"Good. You go out first. His voice was as thick as a bell.

"Retire first."

The young man arched his hand and bowed slightly, and walked out of the tent.

Except for Miss Qi, the other four looked at each other, not knowing what to say. There was silence for a long time, but the patriarch walked around the low table and walked up to them, and began to talk with them.

"Don't be nervous. Hu Yanyi, that kid, that's it. Although he is fierce, he is not malicious. ”

Maybe it's the guy who led the way just now, and the rider who took the lead before. Shanhai nodded slightly and said no.

"That'...... Can we go? There's something else. Shi Wuqi gave a thumbs up and gestured to the door.

"I'm sorry, not for the time being, after all, we don't know where a few travelers came from."

Mu Wan didn't really want to waste his time here. She took a step forward, and spoke quickly one by one.

"This Taoist master, Rin Shanhai, and his apprentice Dai Luan, are all from Dailuan City. Shi Wu abandoned, from Xuanzheng Town. I am a disciple of the Snow Yan Sect in the Snow Yan Valley. Well, what more questions do you have? ”

"Shhhh......h Quite far? And it's weird. ”

"It's a long story," Shanhai felt a little difficult, "but...... I don't think we all have much to do with the wolf demon you're hunting. ”

"You know it's a wolf demon? Did Hu Yanyi tell you? This kid ......"

"Not really," Shi Wuqi shrugged, "we saw it ourselves." ”

The patriarch did not speak, but walked back and forth in the tent, pacing in front of them. He kept frowning, looking worried, and his slightly vicissitudes of life seemed to crack in the next second, shedding a layer of skin.

Shan Hai cautiously probed: "Why are you chasing that wolf demon?" Is it hunting, or is it ...... Has it ever hurt your people? ”

Hearing this, the patriarch's back paused. He froze there for a moment, then turned around, walked around them, lifted the curtain, and motioned for them to come closer. A few people were a little strange, but they still slowly stepped forward to see what he wanted to say. The patriarch gestured to the tent next door. The tent was also very large, about the same size as the one here. Hu Yanyi stood between these two places, and when he saw the patriarch, he waved again.

"Over there, it's the old man's beloved daughter."

No one dared to answer, and none of them knew what he meant. Only Dai Luan asked stupidly:

"Is it hurt? We heard the man say......"

"Yes. That damn wolf demon is cunning. Not long ago he evaded the guards, infiltrated our tent, and bit the county lord. ”

"Aren't you going to stay with her?" Mu Wan felt strange, "If I get sick, my father and mother will be at ease by my side." ”

The patriarch lowered the curtain and shook his head.

"The old man and Hu Yanyi have been chasing people for a long time, and they have been circling around this area. It knew that we were going to kill it, and it was still provocative, but it couldn't catch it. Until the second half of the night, Hu Yanyi was worried about the old man's body and the old man's daughter, so he asked the old man to go back and see her, and he continued to look for her. When the old man came back, the doctor in the clan said that she had been poisoned by the saliva of the wolf demon and was afraid that her life was in danger...... When the old man saw her, she lost her heart and didn't know the old man. Now, she is afraid of light, water, wind, everything, and her body trembles from time to time, and she bites whoever she catches, but the old man really can't get close to her...... Only last night, someone found the traces of the old wolf, and Hu Yanyi led the team to chase all night. ”

Dai Luan listened to it for a long time and seemed to hear something.

"Could it be a hydrophobia? This symptom occurs when you are bitten by a rabid dog or a wolf or something. And sometimes, the disease doesn't show up at the time, and it takes days before it goes crazy. And this disease, almost non-existent—well! ”

Shi Wuqi reached out from behind with one hand to cover Ah Luan's mouth. He, like everyone else, didn't want to come here because he angered the boss.

The patriarch shook his head, as if he didn't think she was excessive.

The little girl was not wrong, the old man thought it was this disease at first sight. But the three doctors tried several medicines, all of which were bought from the city or from merchants to treat the symptoms, but to no avail. ”

"This can't be done, this disease can't be delayed" Mu Wan was also a little nervous, "Why don't you send her to a nearby town quickly and find a local Lang Zhongzhi to treat her?" They have a lot of medicinal herbs, maybe there is a way. ”

"Don't go!"

The patriarch, who had just returned his soft voice, suddenly shouted, and everyone trembled. He seemed to realize his gaffe, coughed lightly, and adjusted his emotions.

"It's impossible, the old man didn't let his daughter be touched by these Central Plains people. It's this group of bastards, who almost let the old man lose the child a few years ago! They dare to kidnap the county lord, don't they really take us seriously! ”

Without saying a word, his tone became fierce again, which made them dare not breathe. Hearing this, Shi Wuqi understood why their attitude towards outsiders had become so ...... Indifferent.

Through the thick tent cloth, Shanhai looked in the direction of the county lord.

"Sorry, haven't asked yet, what do you call - and Ling Ai?"

"It's not important," the patriarch waved his hand, "The old man's name can't be known to you foreigners for the time being. It's just the old man's daughter, who has a Chinese name, which was given by a native of the Central Plains, called Tatar Ji. It probably means like the princess of the prairie. ”

"Wolf ......" Ah Luan was still thinking, "It stands to reason that how can a wolf demon be poisonous?" ”

"The wolf is blue-gray and somewhat suspicious." Shi Wuqi then said.

"The old man guessed that it was from Qinglize—the ghost knew if it was the plague or something else, and it had plagued all the creatures of our grassland. It seems to be a Shadow Pavilion called something, and the monster pavilion master is thinking about expanding their territory day and night! ”

I always feel that there is some misunderstanding in this. But several of them felt that there was no need to explain. And listening to the patriarch say this, it proves that they also know very little about the Shadow Pavilion, and even the real pavilion master is not sure who it is - the one they know may be the snake demon that everyone mistakenly thinks.

But speaking of which, when they were in Qinglize, they didn't see the monster named She Jiu. Gao Yuejun said that he was not there, and he didn't know where he went. But for now, the question doesn't matter.

No matter where the wolf demon is, the county lord Tar Ji is in danger of life, something that everyone knows but can't do anything about. If the patriarch can not be so stubborn, maybe there is a way. However, once the disease occurs, the treatment cycle is very short, and it is necessary to seize the time to find a solution. The tent fell silent for a short time, but it didn't last long before the screams of the women were heard. Even though there were two layers of tents, the sound was still very harsh. There was some chaos outside, and many people came here, as if they wanted to help their county lord.

The patriarch grabbed his hair with his hand in pain, and pulled his beard again, as if to vent his anger. Not long after, he suddenly opened the tent door and rushed out, shouting to the chaotic crowd:

"No matter who it is, as long as it can cure the madness of the old man's daughter, the old man will marry his beloved daughter to him!"

A few people were stunned, and so were the people outside, and everything suddenly fell silent again, only the girl's hysterical screams continued. Hu Yanyi looked straight at the patriarch, and then at Tartar Ji's tent, clenched his fists, and his eyes were a little red.

After a while, someone came out of the tent and reported to the patriarch in a panting voice:

"The brothers really couldn't help it, so they found a rope to tie her up...... What an offense! If you think it's wrong, a few brothers will ......"

"So be it." The patriarch sighed heavily.

"Are you ......," the man asked in a low voice, "is what you just said true?" ”

"The big husband has a word, and the horse is hard to chase!"

The girl's screaming voice gradually subsided, and the feeling of noise and silence came back again. Hu Yanyi frowned, his face was complicated, as if he had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
