"Chu Xuanji!"

There was a loud roar behind him, Xuanji suddenly came back to his senses, and when he turned his head, it was Yu Sifeng and Zhong Minyan, both of whom were holding a bunch of things in their hands, and dozens of people were carrying sacks behind them.

"Ah, you ...... Bought it all? She asked, stunned.

Zhong Minyan walked over, frowning at the honey on the ground and the torches and pots that were no longer usable, "What the hell are you doing?" His questioning voice was weak. Oh my God, I knew this dead kid couldn't do anything! You can't count on her at all!

Xuanji spread out her hands and sighed, "It's not my fault. She said it rightly.

"You still say!" He went berserk.

"Then I'll go buy a new one right away." After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu Sifeng.

"...... this?" He looked at the huge glazed fish tank, his eyes flickering behind the mask. After a while, he stretched out his hand and touched it lightly on the cylinder, but as if he had touched something stinging, he shrank back again.

Xuanji said, "They say it's a monster...... A youkai with a fish's tail. ”

Zhong Minyan also turned his head to look when he heard this, but saw the person in the tank flick his tail and swam away. He was startled and took a few steps backwards before exclaiming, "It's really a monster!" Fishtail's! ”

Yu Sifeng shook his head slowly, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "It's not a demon...... This is the merman, the merman of the South China Sea. ”

Xuanji sighed, "I know the merman." It is said that they are very good at weaving and embroidering, and they can sing on the night of the full moon, and everyone who hears it is fascinated. And when they cry, tears turn into pearls. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the banging in front of her again, someone was shouting something, and the crowd gathered there at once.

Xuanji was knocked to the ground, and when she was about to fall, she was suddenly pulled on her arm. She looked up, but saw Yu Sifeng standing in front of her, holding her arm in her hand, but her eyes kept staring at the glass jar, thinking thoughtfully and not knowing what to think.

The person who knocked on the bang over there had already begun to speak: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, thanks to the wisdom and martial arts of our county master, he summoned heroes from all walks of life and fought hard for a month, and finally caught the man-eating demon on the mountain!" Now I have asked the mage to seal this demon in the magic weapon glass jar, and it will be sent to Beijing in a few days. Everyone wants to see and smash it, but you have to do it early! ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited. The demons wreaked havoc on Lutai Mountain, harming the people, and everyone hated them. As soon as I heard that the demon had been caught, no matter whether it was true or not, someone had already picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the tank. The merman was floating around in the water, looking very pitiful.

"Huh? Aren't the demons who are haunting the tengu and the Gu eagle? It's not a merman. Xuanji was inexplicable, seeing that the merman was hit by a big stone, the water suddenly turned red, and I don't know where it hit. She couldn't bear it.

"He's just, a scapegoat." Yu Sifeng said coldly, "Demons, one party, Yamen, can't, and above, intersect, can only, just find one, mermaid, come to fill the number, for the time being, give the above one, explain." ”

"What about the real demons? Just posted an announcement saying that the demons have been eliminated, and people can go up the mountain with peace of mind, and they will not be eaten? Zhong Minyan also felt incredible. They have been living in Shouyang Mountain, with cultivating immortals as their lifelong goal, and they don't know much about all the laws and rules in the world.

Yu Sifeng said lightly: "Far water, you can't save it, it's close to the fire." Now, they can only deal with the blame from above first, and then deal with the past, and then the dead, then, they will use other countermeasures. ”

Zhong Minyan shook his head, seeing that the blood in the glass jar was blurry, and the merman didn't know where it was hidden, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and sighed: "I hope the demon hunt will go well tonight, at least...... Give him back his innocence. ”

"With me, it will be smooth." Yu Sifeng said it very arrogantly, in exchange for Zhong Minyan's cold snort.

Xuanji looked at him adoringly with sparkling eyes, "You are so powerful, you know a lot of things!" ”

Yu Sifeng coughed, and he couldn't tell whether he was blushing through the mask.

"I'm just, yes, often, out there, walking around, seeing a lot, that's all." He lifted the salt bag in his arms up, "Let's go, let's make up the honey, torches, and the like first, and then go back to the restaurant." ”

After speaking, his sleeves trembled slightly, and he held a light red pill between his two fingers, and while everyone was not paying attention, he used his fingers to flick it into the glass jar. Whether or not you can survive until tomorrow depends on the creation of this merman.

He silently turned and walked away.

****

When I returned to the restaurant, the sky had already darkened, and the red glow was thousands of miles, reflecting everyone's faces were fiery red.

Chu Yinghong saw that Xuanji's hair was wet, and her sleeves were still dripping, so she couldn't help but wonder: "You kid, did you go to the river to buy honey?" How did it get like this. ”

Xuanji shook her head, "I saw a ...... on the side of the street."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yu Sifeng: "She, walking, not looking at people, was splashed on the head by others, and she was brushing the dishes." ”

Not really! Xuanji stared at him in surprise, he was lying!

Yu Sifeng said lightly: "She is simply, and, without a soul, the same." Walking, also in a daze. ”

Xuanji blinked, hesitating whether to refute or not, but Chu Yinghong rubbed her head hard, and she smiled and sighed: "You kid, you also have snacks about other things." Quickly wipe your hair dry, let's find an inn right away, change our clothes and go." ”

Xuanji stayed for a long time, and finally let out an "oh" and decided not to expose Yu Sifeng's lies.

Before leaving, Yu Sifeng came up to her and said in a low voice: "Don't, talk to them, merman, things." ”

"Why?" Xuanji was curious.

He said softly: "These adults don't like it, aliens. We can't save him. ”

"Huh? Are you planning to save him? ”

He nodded, "I have my own way." Look, look. ”

Xuanji grinned, learning from his stumbling emphasis, and said, "Good, good, good!" ”

After speaking, he knocked her head hard with his knuckles, and she was speechless for a long time. He smiled lightly again, flicked his sleeves slightly, turned around and followed the adults out of the restaurant.

Xuanji suddenly realized that this boy was not as annoying as she had met at the beginning, so she couldn't help but catch up and ask, "Si Feng, how old are you?" ”

He was stunned suddenly, and the emphasis of his words changed: "You...... You called, called me, what?! ”

She smiled slightly: "Si Feng, aren't you called Yu Sifeng?" I'm not wrong. ”

Not that question! He was speechless. After a long time, he said: "You, you ask, ask me this, what are you doing?!" ”

"Aren't we companions? Can't you ask? ”

He was silent for a while before he said, "That, then you, speak first." ”

She was very cheerful: "My name is Chu Xuanji, and I am eleven years old this year. ”

"Little brat, one." He scoffed.

"You're a little kid too." She laughed, "You're not an adult. ”

He snorted: "Who said that, I, thirteen years old, have long been, adults." ”

Cut, only thirteen years old, what is there to be proud of. She hadn't told him that the senior brother was eighteen years old, and even Zhong Minyan was a year older than him!

"Si Feng, why do you keep wearing a mask on your face? Isn't it stuffy? Xuanji reached out to touch the hideous face, but he coldly pushed away.

"It's none of your business, don't touch it."

Xuanji retracted her hand a little sneeringly, to be honest, she was rejected by someone like this, and she really couldn't get off the stage.

He probably also felt that he didn't speak well, and after a pause, he said, "No one can touch this mask." Either, casually, take it off. After thinking about it, he added: "This is, from the Lize Palace, the rules." ”

Xuanji shrugged her shoulders, "I haven't seen what you look like yet." What an embarrassment it would be if you met you on the road in the future and you knew me, but I didn't know you. ”

He hadn't spoken for a long time, but his ears were slowly turning red. After a while, he said softly, "I know you, that's it." ”

What does that mean? Xuanji didn't understand at all.

Zhong Minyan had been listening to them silently in front, and suddenly turned his head and said, "I heard that people in Lize Palace can take off their masks when they are eighteen years old, but they still have to wear them when they encounter important occasions. Is that so? ”

Yu Sifeng said coldly: "It turns out that you know a lot. This is, I sent, the rules. I don't want to, say more. ”

Zhong Minyan couldn't help but feel slightly disgusted when he saw him so arrogant, although he admired his extensive knowledge all the way, but this person's character and temper were really bad, and he couldn't wait to lift his nostrils to the sky.

Listening to him chatting with Xuanji just now, he was very unhappy with that kind of condescending tone. Xuanji is an absent-minded person, she doesn't care, but he cares a lot! How could you let the people of Lize Palace climb to the head of the Shaoyang faction!

"I'm not interested anyway!" He stiffly blocked back, turned his head and stopped talking.

Yu Sifeng was choked by him like this, and he also stiffened his neck and pretended to be dumb, and then stopped talking.

Xuanji looked at this and then that helplessly, wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say, so she had to silently sneak to Chu Yinghong's side and listen to the adults talk about the arrangements for catching demons at night.
