Chapter 9: Escape
I lifted my sister out of the barrel and put on clean clothes.
"Bang!" As soon as the clothes were changed, the door was opened again, and I looked sideways and looked behind me, and the river demon was still standing outside the door with an arrogant face.
How do I get rid of this monster? I pondered in my heart, and thought about it carefully, the two taels of silver given by the village chief should still be in the wooden cabinet in the senior sister's room, and if the sun is shining tomorrow, I will quietly leave here with the senior sister.
Although, I haven't learned magic, but I have common sense, and evil things are the most disgraceful, and this river demon should have nothing to do with me during the day.
Thinking about it like this, I can't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly.
"Want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" His deep eyes looked at me evilly, and he had already seen through me.
"No, Lord Shenjun, thanks to your help today, it's late tonight, if Lord Shenjun doesn't dislike it, go to the next room to rest." I hurriedly smiled at him.
"Humph!" He snorted coldly, didn't say much, turned and disappeared into the dark hallway.
When I saw him gone, I closed the doors and windows, and began to pack up my baggage and money.
It's just that although my sister's pulse is stable now, I don't know if my sister will wake up tomorrow.
I was worried, and I kept watch for my senior sister all night, and when it was dark outside, I opened the door secretly and glanced outside.
God opened his eyes, the rainstorm outside had stopped, I glanced at each side of the corridor, I didn't find the river demon, and there was no cold, it must be a sunny day outside, and the evil thing didn't dare to come out and hang around.
This is exactly what I want, there will be a carriage out of the village at noon every day at the entrance of the village, and when the time comes, my sister and I will leave directly in the carriage.
After the planning was completed, seeing that it was still early, I went to the kitchen to boil millet porridge and spread a few pancakes.
Pancakes are wrapped in cloth and eaten on the road as dry food, and this porridge is padded to the stomach first.
When my sister was woken up by me, she was still a little confused, and when I checked her pulse, she seemed to have no strength in her body.
"Senior sister, come and drink porridge, and after a while, we will go on the road and find the master and senior brother." I blew the porridge cold and brought it to my sister's mouth.
Senior sister opened her mouth slightly, and after taking several sips, she asked me with a blurred eye: "Xiyan, I had a nightmare, in which a man covered in sores lay on my body and asked me to give birth to a child for him." ”
When the senior sister said this, her face became extremely pale, as if she remembered something, she immediately lifted the futon and looked at her body.
"In my dreams, I also had countless pustules on my body." Her lips trembled, and she struggled to pull up her sleeves, and when she saw that her skin was still smooth and delicate, her eyes became a little dazed.
"Senior sister, you just had a nightmare, but it's okay, let's go to Muzhou after eating this." I comforted my sister, but I didn't want her to recall that she was "bullied" by the toad spirit.
The senior sister nodded, drank some porridge, sweated, and her complexion seemed to be much better.
At noon, we set off on time, and I brought two baggage, one for clothes and food, and the other for ritual utensils.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I happened to see the carriage, but usually the carriage out of the village always crowds many villagers, but today there is only one coachman wearing a hat and holding a whip standing next to the carriage, as if he was waiting for us to come.
Approaching the coachman, I smelled a very strong smell of dry smoke on him, and the uncle coughed a few times and hurriedly made a gesture of please to us, signaling us to get into the carriage.
I hurriedly helped my sister into the car, thinking about running as far as I could before it got dark.
But he didn't expect that he jumped from a deep pool into another tiger's den.
