"Since last month, I don't know what's going on? Some of the domestic animals raised in the village will always disappear inexplicably, and the grain grown in the farmland will wither without warning, and even the fruit from the fruit trees on the mountain will disappear! ”

When Cheng Xiaohu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Is it a monster making trouble?"

This happened suddenly, except for the monster chaos, Cheng Xiaohu couldn't think of any other reason. It's just strange that Cheng Xiaohu didn't feel the slightest demonic presence near the mountain village.

Shi Shan shook his head helplessly, and said, "The owner of the village also said the same, but she has been exploring the vicinity of the village for nearly a month, but she hasn't even seen the shadow of that monster!"

When Cheng Xiaohu heard this, he said in his heart: With her little cultivation, if the monster is discovered by her, it is estimated that she will not have the face to be a demon!

Cheng Xiaohu didn't say what he thought in his heart, so he continued to listen to Shi Shan.

"There are only two people in our mountain village with mana, the owner of the village and the mother-in-law. But my mother-in-law visited an old friend some time ago, and she hasn't come back yet! So the only person in the village who can actually fight with the monster is the owner of the village, but now even she can't find the monster, and we people can't help it. ”

Shi Shan sighed and said, "We originally planned to wait for my mother-in-law to come back, and then she would search for that monster, but the time of my mother-in-law's trip was far longer than we expected. Seeing that the food in the village is getting less and less, but the mother-in-law still has no sign of returning, the owner of the village is also helpless to lead us to be a green forest hero, hoping to get some money from passers-by and then go outside to buy some food and come back to fight until the day the mother-in-law returns. It's just that I didn't expect that after waiting for so many days, the first person I met was Cheng Shaoxia. ”

Shi Shan smiled bitterly, and it seemed that he was quite helpless about this matter.

Cheng Xiaohu suddenly realized, but he was still puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Then why don't you leave here?" Wouldn't it be okay to live in a different place? ”

"Hmph, that's light!" A cold snort came out at the gate of the village, and Cheng Xiaohu looked over, only to see that the red clothes came over.

"First of all, three or four generations of our ancestors have lived here for decades, and they have long regarded this as our only home, especially some elderly people in the village, who are even more reluctant to leave. Secondly, even if we persuaded the people in the village to move together, but this is the wilderness of the south of the Yangtze River, and the distance from the nearest village is nearly 200 miles, do you think it is safe for more than 100 people to move so far at the same time, most of them are still old people and children? ”

After hearing this, Cheng Xiaohu nodded and said, "You have a point!"

Hongyi snorted coldly and said, "So, I've thought about it for a long time, and now there is only one way to solve this matter!"

Cheng Xiaohu saw Hongyi staring at him, and he had vaguely guessed her thoughts in his heart, but he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What way?"

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Hongyi had already understood his thoughts, but he deliberately pretended not to know, Hongyi was angry in his heart for no reason, and wanted to vent it, but thinking that he had a request for him after all, he could only beg for grievances: "I want to ask Cheng Shaoxia to get rid of that monster with me!"

Cheng Xiaohu blinked, deliberately pretending not to hear clearly, and said, "What did you say?" Who do you want to get rid of with you? ”

Hongyi's face became more and more ugly, if she could, she really wanted to tie up Cheng Xiaohu with a demon rope and beat her, but in the end she still gritted her jade teeth and said word by word: "I want to ask Cheng Shaoxia to help me get rid of the demon!"

"Oh? Isn't it a disciple? Cheng Xiaohu said with a smile.

"The little woman has offended a lot this afternoon, and I hope that Cheng Shaoxia can be an adult and not remember the villain! Forgive the little girl! Red-clothed gritted his teeth.

"In that case, then I will forgive you!" Cheng Xiaohu touched his chin and said.

When the red cloth heard this, his expression softened slightly, and he said in his heart: This person is not so annoying. However, Cheng Xiaohu's next sentence once again made her tremble with anger.

"But if you want me to help you get rid of the demon, you have to let me be a husband in the village, otherwise your mountain village is not related to me, why should I help you?"

"You...... Shameless. The red clothes gritted their teeth angrily, and the slender jade finger pointed at Cheng Xiaohu for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"It's so fierce, I guess I won't have any good fruit to eat after marrying you." Cheng Xiaohu pursed his lips and said, "I think, I still shouldn't be sorry for this husband who presses the village."

"But for the sake of Xiao Shi and Uncle Shi, this young man will help you get rid of the demon for free!" Cheng Xiaohu touched the head of the stone next to him and chuckled.

Hearing this, it took a long time for Hongyi to calm down the anger in his heart, and said lightly: "Come with me!"

The red clothes brought Cheng Xiaohu into the mountain village, and then took him to the innermost room, and said, "There are no extra rooms in the village, you can stay here for the time being tonight!"

Cheng Xiaohu looked at it, the room was very simple, except for a stone bed, there was no other furniture.

But Cheng Xiaohu is not a picky person, so he walked straight into the house after answering, and then slammed the door and prepared to rest.

Seeing Cheng Xiaohu greet him, Hongyi closed the door directly without saying hello, and couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he stomped his feet angrily and turned to leave.

The breeze is cool, and you have a good night's sleep.

As soon as a trace of fish belly white floated on the mountain, Hongyi had already gotten up, came to the house where Cheng Xiaohu was, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Cheng Shaoxia, are you awake?"

"Nope!" A voice came from inside the room.

"Oh, I'll come back later!" Red-clothed said subconsciously, but soon she realized that something was wrong.

Hongyi reacted that he was being tricked, and his face was flushed with anger, and he raised his leg and wanted to kick the door open, but Cheng Xiaohu just walked out of it.

"Don't be angry! Just kidding! Cheng Xiaohu saw Hongyi's annoyed and angry look, and grinned.

Hongyi held back the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Let's go!"

Cheng Xiaohu followed behind her, and said as he walked: "By the way, I don't know what your name is?"

"Just call me Red!" The head of the red coat did not reply.

"Red?" Cheng Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "What a strange name!"

"It's none of your business! Can you shut up? The red cloth turned his head and glared at Cheng Xiaohu.

"Shut up, shut up!" Cheng Xiaohu also felt that he couldn't go too far, so he spread his hands.

Seeing that the roots of his ears were finally clean, the pace under his feet immediately walked quickly, Cheng Xiaohu quickly followed, and after a while, the two came to the front of the stockade.

Under Shi Shan's inform, everyone in the mountain village knew that Cheng Xiaohu was going to get rid of the demon with Hongyi today, so they got up early in the morning and gathered in the village to wait for the two of them.

"Cheng Shaoxia, this is the sheep you asked for last night!" Shi Shan smiled bitterly and led the sheep to Cheng Xiaohu, and said, "This is the last sheep in our cottage!"

Hearing this, Hongyi clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, everyone! We're going to get rid of that monster! ”

Everyone nodded firmly.

Cheng Xiaohu and Hongyi walked out of the cottage and walked to the open grass outside, Cheng Xiaohu threw the sheep in it at will, and then pulled Hongyi to hide aside and observe secretly.

Hongyi frowned slightly, and said, "We're just waiting here?"

"What if it weren't?" Cheng Xiaohu asked rhetorically.

Hongyi said, "We can go to the mountains to find that monster!"

After hearing this, Cheng Xiaohu said, "Can you have some brains?" We don't even feel the slightest demonic aura in this empty meadow, let alone in the mountains. And I can feel that the monster is extremely cunning, if we venture into the mountains to look for it, whether we can find it or not, we will accidentally fall into its trap. ”

Hongyi saw that he said that he had no brains, although she was angry in her heart, but what Cheng Xiaohu said later was reasonable, and she couldn't refute it at all.

After a while, she seemed to think of something, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Cheng Xiaohu laughed when he saw that Hongyi was not angry, and he felt uneasy for no reason, and said, "Are you okay?"

The face of the red dress was full of smiles, like a hibiscus out of the water.

"I heard Aunt Liu say that you are a disciple of the Tang Dynasty, right?" Red-clothed asked with a smile.

Cheng Xiaohu chuckled in his heart and said, "So what?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that there is a unique science called "Demon Searching Technique" in your house, and according to legend, this technique is specially used to search for those monsters who are good at hiding their tracks, why didn't Cheng Shaoxia use it and find out that monster? ”

Cheng Xiaohu's face couldn't help but turn red, it wasn't that he didn't want to use demon searching, but he wouldn't...... Although the demon search technique is a basic spell in the Tang Dynasty government, although it is not difficult to learn, it is extremely time-consuming, Cheng Xiaohu is often lazy, and he has not even learned the world-famous spell "Sweeping Thousands of Armies" in the true recipe of "Invincible in Ten Directions", so it is naturally impossible for him to spend time to learn "Demon Searching Technique".

But Cheng Xiaohu naturally won't admit that he doesn't know how to "search for demons", after all, a disciple of the Tang Dynasty Mansion can't even know the most basic "demon search technique", so he can't let others laugh off his big teeth, so he forced his face and said: "Although the "demon search technique" is powerful, it consumes extremely mana, even if I use it to find that monster, the mana on my body is estimated to consume about the same, and when the time comes, you alone, it would be good if we were not cleaned up by that monster, how could we have the heart to clean it up."

Although Cheng Xiaohu's words were sonorous, he was obviously lacking in confidence, and the red clothes listened to it, and he firmly believed in his heart that Cheng Xiaohu would not "search for demons".

Hongyi forced a smile and said, "But I heard that the demon search technique is a basic spell that does not consume mana.

Cheng Xiaohu was speechless for a moment. After a while, I felt ashamed, lying on the grass and not talking.

Seeing Cheng Xiaohu lying on the ground aggrieved, Hongyi finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the bloom at that moment actually made the sun that had just risen on the mountain lose its color.

Although Cheng Xiaohu was conceited and was not a womanizer, he couldn't help but be stunned at that moment, his eyes were on Hongyi's body, and he didn't look away for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Cheng Xiaohu staring at him, the red clothes couldn't help but say angrily.

Just listening carefully, there is a hint of joy in this shame and anger, after all, what woman would not be happy that her appearance can charm others?

Cheng Xiaohu woke up in shock, and he couldn't help but feel that he was a little rude, but his cheek was not thin, so he calmly said: "Look at the sky."

"Humph!" Hongyi snorted coldly, but didn't answer.

Cheng Xiaohu was lying on the grass, and Hongyi was sitting on the side staring at the sheep on the grass, and neither of them was chatting.

Soon, the sun was on the pole, and the sun gradually became hot.

"It's coming!" Cheng Xiaohu's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and he said with a cold expression.
