3. Nine Human-faced Birds (2)

In addition to water stains, there are dark red things on Nan Xun's clothes.

He Ruo stared at it for a moment, it was blood.

"Nan Xun, are you injured?"

"Nope."

He Ruo took Nan Xun's sleeve and smelled it, there was a smell of chicken blood.

"The two of us tracked down nine human-faced birds and cut off one of them. ”

He Ruo said: "There are really nine human-faced birds? So in this way, it will become eight heads? ”

Nan Xun said, "No, there are nine more. ”

He Ruo wondered, "Why?" ”

"These nine human-faced birds originally had ten necks and nine heads, and when one of them is cut off, it will immediately regenerate. I cut it three times, and it was reborn three times. ”

Yun Rou asked: "It's weird, who cut down the tenth one, and why can't that one grow back?" ”

Leopard Xiaoyin said: "Legend has it that it was cut down by the weapons of the immortal family. The human sword can't hurt it. ”

He Ruo no longer dwelled on this: "Xianggong, Brother Xiaoyin, you two go change your clothes and take a hot bath." ”

Leopard Xiaoyin and Nan Xun were each taken back by their daughters-in-law.

I came out to play in the mountains and rivers, but if I got sick, it wouldn't be fun.

Nan Yu soaked in a wooden barrel, and He Ruo scooped water for him to rinse.

"Xianggong, is the water temperature still appropriate?"

"Exactly, thank you."

Nan Xun was still thinking about things, a little absent-minded.

"Xianggong is thinking about the nine human-faced birds?"

"Yes."

He Ruo was a little strange why Nan Xun was so fascinated by the nine human-faced birds.

Nan Yun shook He Ruo's hand, "It's just that I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with." ”

He Ruo heard the sound of going upstairs.

Then there was a knock on the door.

Outside the door was the hoarse smoke of the innkeeper.

The boss said, "Guest officer, I see that the light is still on inside, can you open the door for me, the little one has something to ask for." ”

He Ruo pulled up the shower curtain, she didn't want her father-in-law to be looked at by outsiders, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman.

He Ruo opened the door and saw the anxious innkeeper,

The boss's face has been distorted into an embarrassing word.

"Guest officer, 100,000 urgent...... Can I borrow your dog? ”

"Oh?"

"When I came here today, I thought our dog was dirty and in the way. And be sure to take them both to the backyard. Do you find it useful again now? Boss, you're getting so fast. ”

The boss said: "Please, the guest officer is doing well, he is really in a hurry to save people's lives." ”

He Ruo is not joking anymore, it is true to see the boss's serious expression.

"Boss, you say, where we can help, we will try to help."

The boss said, "We are not far from the town of Nine Heads, and there are nine birds every once in a while. ”

"My wife and children live in the town of Nine Heads."

"They just asked someone to deliver a letter saying that the neighbor's child has been taken away by the nine-headed bird, and asked me to quickly find a few dogs."

At this time, Nan Xun had already dressed and came out.

"What?"

He Ruoyi turned his head and said, "Xianggong, they came to borrow the dog." ”

He Ruo asked the boss again: "What does this dog have to do with the nine-headed bird?" ”

The boss said, "I don't know if it's good or not." It is also the first time I have encountered this situation, anyway, it is a sentence handed down by the ancestors, saying that when you meet a nine-headed bird, you will turn off the lights and close the door tightly, and then release the dog at the door, so that the dog can scare the bird away. There is no other way. ”

He Ruo said: "Then there are no other dogs in the town of Nine Heads?" ”
