Chapter 2: The Fox Demon Takes His Death
The last glimmer of light gradually disappeared, and the people next to her also turned off the lights and locked the door, Xiaoshui looked at the tree stump on the other side of the road and blurred little by little until she couldn't see it, and the chickens in the chicken pen also made a gurgling sound, and everything was silent, and she could only hear her own rapid breathing.
The border of Ziliang Prefecture has always been unpeaceful, there are often monsters haunting, people rarely go out at night, usually as soon as it is dark, they turn off the lights and go to sleep, so as not to attract monsters. The Empress of Ziliang Prefecture also ordered the national teacher to develop poisons to prevent monsters from harming them, most of them are poisons that stun monsters and do not harm their lives, one is to prevent monsters from fighting back, and the other is that there are many women in Ziliang Prefecture, if you really annoy the monsters, Ziliang Prefecture is the next Nan family.
Xiao Shui held the knife vigilantly by the door, Sang Ma came back, she could still open the door, if there was danger, she would have time to react.
At night, people are the most vigilant, and Xiao Shui can vaguely hear the sound of animal paws rubbing the ground, as well as the smell of the body, and even a little bit of blood.
Didn't you steal a chicken to eat, no, Xiaoshui smelled a little strange, the smell of animal blood was not so strong, and she had been listening to the movement outside the door, there was no sound for hundreds of miles around here, not even the sound of a dog barking, even the beast animal was agile, the dog was also the most clever, as soon as there was danger to get close to it, it barked, even if the dog did not bark, the domestic animal would bark when attacked, and there would be no sound at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shui's body began to break out in a cold sweat, and the hand holding the knife was unconsciously forced.
"Xiao Shui" suddenly came from a faint shout outside the door, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
"A-Niang" Xiaoshui was excited to open the door, feeling that something was wrong, and at the same time knowing that something was wrong.
"Quick, run" Sang Ma breathed weakly.
"Auntie, what did you say?" Xiao Shui didn't hear what Sang Ma said, opened the door, held Sang Ma's hand by the door with one hand, sticky, and at the same time saw that Sang Ma was covered in blood through the faint moonlight, and the hands holding him were scratched, the tender hands on his hands turned out, revealing white bones, and the little thumb was gone, and there was blood constantly, obviously eaten by wild beasts.
"A-Niang, what's wrong with you" Xiao Shui lay on the ground and held Sang Ma's hand.
"Yes, it's the red fox, its kind smelled the smell and found it, you run" At the same time, the other hand took out a jade pendant with a tassel from his chest and handed it to Xiao Shui, and the jade pendant glowed faintly under the moon.
Sang Masheng is strong, a body of strength, and is usually a good hunter, ordinary beasts can't enter her body at all, it seems that there is more than one sneak attack on Sang Ma.
Xiaoshui held Sang Ma's hand and cried: "A-Niang, I'll take you in for medicine, you'll be fine."
"No, no, Shui'er, you run, they're chasing after me, I can't live, you go" Sang Ma broke free of Xiaoshui's hand and pushed Xiaoshui desperately.
At the same time, there were a few more pairs of sharp and cold eyes in the dark, accompanied by the smell of blood and the smell of commotion.
"Run" Sang Ma used his last strength to pounce on the group of animals, his fat body was in the middle of the road, and the group of fox demons were even more excited when they smelled human blood, and they all pounced on it and bit it.
"A-Niang" Xiaoshui was so frightened that she sat on the ground.
"Quick, Run"
Xiaoshui took the machete, and finally took a look at Sang Ma, who had become a broken corpse, and ran away, she didn't dare to stop, she could hear the sound of the animal chasing her, and her body could feel the hot breath exhaled from the animal's nose.
The day is the world of humans, and in the darkness is the world of animals, their eyes can see any place clearly, humans are not their opponents at all, a fox demon who followed Xiaoshui immediately chased after him, biting Xiaoshui's skirt, Xiaoshui cut it with a backhand, waved a few knives at the air, and slashed at the head of the fox demon, it stopped in pain, and roared more angrily, Xiaoshui took advantage of the gap to run again and again while looking back.
"Ah" Xiaoshui ran too fast, stumbling on the side of the road to grow to the middle of the road, fell out directly, the knee was also broken, seeing that the animals behind were about to catch up, Xiaoshui couldn't take care of the pain, a backhand, holding the branch above his head, borrowing strength, jumped down the river, the river water in early spring was cool and biting, stinging the wound on the leg, hesitated, endured the pain and swam to the other side of the river.
On the shore, Xiaoshui dragged his legs and ran quickly up the mountain.
The animal also went down to the river, and the river was so deep that the fox demon could not see his head as soon as he jumped down. It took half a day to follow ashore.
Animals eat blood and are sensitive to blood, Xiaoshui doesn't dare to stop, covering her legs to prevent the blood from flowing down, otherwise it will attract many animals to kill her.
She is familiar with this path, go to the mountain to find a big rock to take shelter into, or climb a tree, and survive the next day.
But after all, she was injured, going up the mountain is not as good as going down, she can't go fast, blood loss consumes a lot of physical strength, and soon the animals catch up, Xiaoshui clenched the machete against his chest, and a dozen beasts behind him slowly approached, the blood on their bodies has been washed away by the river, with moisture, gradually approaching, behind her is a big tree blocking her way, the wind behind her blows, a chill.
"You killed my aunt, and you won't let me go" Xiao Shui clenched the machete and slashed at the approaching fox demon crazy, and the blood that burst out sprayed on her face.
Her actions angered the fox demons, they hunched forward, Xiao Shui cut off its head with a backhand, its blood sprayed on its face and fell into its mouth, Xiao Shui swallowed it, and a force quickly spread all over the body, animal blood.
A few fox demons have died, and the animals behind them are even more excited, and they fight back one after another, some of them are clawing Xiao Shui's arms, biting the clothes on her body and not letting go, Xiao Shui gradually lost his strength, his eyes glimpsed the slope behind him, and he gave away the machete in his hand, and his body rolled down the mountain.
Rolling faster and faster, the group of fox demons also aimed at speeding up and running, not pulling her a minute, it seems that it is difficult to escape death, they run over and over again while roaring, calling their companions with their voices, and gradually the whole mountain forest is the sound of animals, it seems that she can't run, seeing that she is about to go down the mountain, Xiaoshui took the opportunity to grab a tree with his hand to prevent his body from rolling down, and ran to the side with a limp leg.
"Squeak, squeak" Suddenly a small sound came from under his feet, Xiao Shui looked down and saw that it was a mouse-like snow-white animal with snow-white fur holding his legs, Xiao Shui recognized it at a glance, this is not a small animal that steals his own bread and eats during the day.
It jumped and screamed, Xiao Shui was afraid of attracting the fox demon behind, bent down and held it in his arms, it was not as defensive as during the day, so he picked it up and jumped down all of a sudden, ran forward, ran back to look at Xiao Shui over and over again, signaled to follow it, only to see it get into a pile of grass and trees, Xiao Shui hesitated, it ran out and hooked Xiao Shui's skirt with its paws, Xiao Shui held it and climbed in, opened the hole in the branch that was originally covered by dead trees, Xiao Shui quickly climbed in, and soon reached the end, This hole is not big or small just enough to accommodate Xiao Shui, but it is not too high, can only lie on his stomach, Xiao Shui quickly stretched out his hand to block the hole with dead branches and fallen leaves, until, and sealed with mud, the animal will smell the smell of the smell, Xiao Shui just had a lot of blood on his body, once they smell the smell of the smell, this time they will definitely die, until the seal is almost done, Xiao Shui only found that the small thing on the chest outside the circle is gone, and at the same time feels that his injured leg is cold, it is really the one who takes the claws and the cold thing to wipe on his leg, Xiaoshui took out the jade pendant in his arms, the jade pendant glowed white in the dark, just to see the situation in the cave, only to see the little thing's two paws black jumped on her head and smeared something on her face, and it was a little stinky, Xiaoshui smelled it, this is animal feces, it should be it.
Once upon a time, there were people who went into the mountains to hunt in order to cover up their smell, smeared animal feces on their bodies, it seems that this little thing is quite spiritual, it still returns to the position of Xiao Shui's arm after it is smeared, and at the same time there is a sound of beasts calling at the entrance of the cave, it seems that they smell the smell and find it, this fox clan is really revenge, Xiao Shui quickly stuffed the jade Pei back to his chest, and the cave returned to darkness.
At the same time, the hot breath exhaled from the beast's nose sprayed into the hole, and the sound of it picking up the soil with its claws, Xiao Shui quickly covered his nose and held his breath, and the small animal under him moved, listening and feeling that it was approaching the position of the cave entrance. Resisting the smell of Xiao Shui's body, then he heard the beast sniff urgently.
Xiao Shui began to worry, the fox clan should not eat other animals, the appearance of this small animal is very similar to the fox clan, not a clan, it should also be a close relative, Xiao Shui often heard that Mr. Storyteller said that in the demon world, the fox clan has the highest status, and the lord of the demon world is the fox demon, after Tu Shan Fox, this is the reason why Sang Ma killed the red fox and they must come to take revenge.
The sound disappeared in thought, and after a while, only their original cries could be heard in the distance, and it seemed that they had not stopped searching.
But now it's safe, and after fighting all night, she really didn't have no energy, and fell asleep in a daze
