After Grandma Zhang and Bai Nanxiang exchanged a few words, Grandma Zhang also said goodbye to Lin Jin and returned to the village.

Bai Nanxiang let Lin Jin into his small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, there is a small vegetable patch full of various seasonal vegetables, and a simple wooden table is placed next to the vegetable field.

Lin Jin walked to the stool next to the wooden table and sat upright, while Bai Nanxiang silently took out a pottery bowl from the house and put it in front of Lin Jin.

Lin Jin looked down at the bowl of cold water rippling in the sunlight and had no intention of drinking, but opened his mouth naturally.

"Why don't you defend yourself."

Bai Nanxiang sat on another stool in silence and did not answer Lin Jin's words.

Lin Jin continued.

"It may be useless to defend in that situation, but even if there is a glimmer of hope, you should try your best to fight for it, and if you are not like you, how do I plan to end up today."

There was silence for a while, and after a while, Bai Nanxiang turned his head to look at Lin Jin, who was sitting upright.

"Are you sure?"

There was no beginning or end to this, but Lin Jin understood what she meant for the first time, Bai Nanxiang bypassed his question and asked him if he was sure that he could catch the evil demon in one day.

Lin Jin glanced deeply at the little girl in front of him, and didn't mention Fang Cai's words anymore.

"The evil is the mountain ray, the mountain fish is formless and incorporeal, likes to walk at night, feeds on the soul, although its strength is not strong, it is good at hiding, the difficulty is to find out where it is hiding, I found a trace of the breath of the mountain in Li San's house last night, but there is nothing else."

Bai Nanxiang frowned slightly when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Lin Jin.

Lin Jin was also looking at her.

"I'm not sure I'll find it in a day, but I can take you away without them noticing."

The little girl suddenly got up from her stool, and the reaction was more intense than the villagers said they were going to burn her.

"You're not sure?!"

Lin Jin sat on the stool steadily, looked up at Bai Nanxiang who stood up, glanced at the vegetable field not far away, and didn't care about it.

"I just need to keep you safe, they have nothing to do with me."

Bai Nanxiang almost couldn't believe her ears, she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

"So you're just lying to them?"

Lin Jin shook his head.

"I said that they would not catch demons for three days, and I will keep them safe for a day, so it is not a lie."

A good one doesn't count as a lie! Bai Nanxiang was speechless for a while.

Lin Jin didn't look at her expression, and said in a calm tone.

"They burned you, and now I can keep you safe, so why should you care about their life or death?"

The little girl looked a little anxious, she didn't explain her choice, but said casually without care.

"Two different things."

Hearing Bai Nanxiang's answer, the corners of Lin Jin's mouth were slightly hooked invisibly.

Bai Nanxiang didn't pay attention to Lin Jin's expression, she frowned and pondered, and spoke after a while.

"Why don't we hide in the mountains and then slowly look for the mountain mane?"

Lin Jin shook his head again and rejected Bai Nanxiang's proposal.

"The mountain is good at hiding and likes to hide in people, and now it has parasitized in this village, and it has just made such a movement, and now it is probably already watching me, if I leave at this time, I will give it a chance to do it."

Bai Nanxiang seemed to expect such an answer, and she was not disappointed, but unconsciously tapped her leg with her left finger, and then she looked at Lin Jin as firmly as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Then we'll stay in the village."

Lin Jin finally raised his head and raised his eyebrows to look at her again.

"If I can't catch that mountain fish tomorrow, do you know what will happen if you stay in the village?"

The little girl looked back at Lin Jin with a serious and natural face.

"You said you would protect me."

Lin Jin: "I'm good at getting rid of demons, not good at fighting, and they're just ordinary people, how do you want me to protect you?" ”

Bai Nanxiang didn't think too much about it and immediately replied.

"Then do you have a way to hide me first, and then you stay in the village to catch demons?"

Hearing the little girl's question, Lin Jin's face twitched invisibly.

Can't leave the village, hide her, and let yourself stay in the village to help the villagers catch demons? She really thinks that there is really a stealth technique in the world that can hide from the demon and evil investigation?

Lin Jin did not answer the little girl's question immediately, but replied expressionlessly.

"Look at your previous appearance, I thought you weren't afraid of death."

Bai Nanxiang didn't seem to expect Lin Jin to suddenly talk about this topic, she was silent for a moment, and slowly sat back on the stool.

"It's best if you don't die."

The tone was seven points serious, and three points were not cared for.

Lin Jin was silent for a moment and looked at her again.

"I don't have a way to hide you from the eyes of the demons, just now those people can't see me just because I cast a spell to reduce my sense of existence, it's not that they really can't see it, if you have the heart to look for it, this method is easy to break."

"And have you ever thought that maybe you are the ultimate goal of the manhole, and that all the things she does in this village may be for you."

Bai Nanxiang was stunned when she heard this.

"Because of Yuzhu?"

This is equivalent to taking the initiative to admit to Lin Jin that she has jade beads.

Lin Jin paused slightly when he heard this, and then continued with an unchanged expression.

"No, only the academy disciples holding the emerald jade can sense the jade beads."

The little girl was full of thoughts at this time about why Lin Jin said that the target of the demon was her, so she did not ask what Cui Weiyu was, but looked at Lin Jin puzzled.

"Why is the mountain monster targeting me, why doesn't it kill me directly, but harm the people in the village?"

Lin Jin: "Although there have been demons and evil in this world since ancient times, but due to the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth, there are strange people in the world who take the demon eradication as their own responsibility, so they have always acted low-key and often pretended to be human beings to cover up, and never dared to easily expose their whereabouts so that ordinary people do not know that there are demons in the world. ”

"There must be a reason for things to be abnormal, for the demons and evil spirits, regardless of this is also a gamble, it is worth them to ignore their safety and danger to be a Bo must be very commonplace, in this mountain village, only you can be with the unusual, yes, although I don't know what it wants, it is expected to be related to you."

"People are the head of a hundred spirits, people's spirits and bodies can provide power for demons and evils, it is not uncommon for it to harm people's lives, the strange thing is that it doesn't cover up and do it directly, as for why it didn't kill you directly, I haven't figured it out for the time being."

Listening to Lin Jin's words, the little girl couldn't help but sit on the stool with a solemn face, and only murmured again after a while.

"A month ago, I had heard strange whispers in my dreams, and the next day someone died in the village, and since I was a child I could see things that ordinary people could not see, such as the newly deceased, and I could see a gray mist beside him, but I did not see such a fog in that person's house."

"In the following month, two more people died in the village without injury, and I did not see the gray mist again, although I felt abnormal, I did not think deeply, thinking that maybe my eyes suddenly became normal."

"I heard the whispering again last night, and this morning someone died...... It turns out that the Taoist was right, the death of the villager really has something to do with me......"

"I'm really an ominous person......"
