When she arrived at the inn, Chu Yinghong immediately began to carefully explain the division of labor among everyone.

Of course, the task of catching demons is handed over to the three adults, and the children only need to be responsible for chores such as lighting torches. Yu Sifeng came to Lutai Mountain, and the task of reading the map and pointing the way was handed over to him. Zhong Minyan and several hunters were responsible for lighting torches and throwing salt bags, and he also did the important task of pouring vinegar on the tengu.

"What about me?" Xuanji listened to her for a long time, but didn't talk about her, so she couldn't help but ask in a whisper.

Chu Lei glanced at her lightly, "You just need to hide behind and watch." Don't run around. ”

Meaning she doesn't have to do anything? Xuanji's eyes lit up, it was rare for her father to be reasonable once, and she didn't want her to do anything!

Seeing the little girl's secretly happy appearance, Chu Yinghong couldn't help but smile and shake her head, and said, "Of course Xuanji has something to do." You're in charge of coating these two rabbits with honey and roasting them. ”

She threw two unskinned rabbits to Xuanji. It looks like it was freshly hunted, and there are blood beads on its ears. Xuanji was startled, and finally asked with a bitter face holding the rabbit, "Do I even peel the skin?" ”

"Yes. Here, here you go. Chu Ying gave her two small ceramic bottles, and a red rope was tied to them.

Xuanji recognized it and couldn't help but wonder: "Ah, isn't this soft and crispy?" ”

Soft crispy is one of the self-made elixirs of the Shaoyang faction, and it is quite fierce, as long as a small spoon is put into food or tea, it can make a person who has more than ten years of cultivation power become powerless, and it can only recover after three days. It itself does not have any flavor and color, and the strange thing is that once it is added to the food and tea, it will exude a sweet aroma and tempt the appetite, so it is named soft and crispy.

Chu Yinghong smiled: "You, don't forget to add some ingredients when roasting rabbits." A bottle of soft crispy is enough for a roasted hare. ”

Xuanji had a flash of inspiration in her mind and said, "Ah, it turns out that we don't eat roast rabbits!" Aunt Red, the rabbit is for those two demons, right? ”

Chu Yinghong nodded, "Let's use these two rabbits to lure them out, so that we can take the initiative." Seeing that Xuanji seemed to understand or not, her head kept nodding, she couldn't help touching her head, and said softly: "Why do you call me Aunt Hong?" Your sister Linglong is going to call me uncle. ”

Xuanji said lightly: "Because Uncle Shi is not as good as Aunt Hong." ”

She was afraid that she couldn't understand this little girl's thoughts. Chu Yinghong smiled, and carefully explained the task of catching demons, and everyone went back to the room to tidy up their things, and set off as soon as the time came.

Lutai Mountain at night is more difficult to walk than during the day. Someone has long said that it is more difficult to climb the entire Lutai Mountain than to climb to the sky. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are strange rocks and steep cliffs, and if you are not careful, you will fall down. Grass and trees began to grow up the mountainside, and there were not many other trees, but there were many thorns on the ground to death. The sky is dark and I can't see clearly, and I often step on it and get drenched in blood only to realize that it is a large area of thorns.

After walking for less than half an hour, the porter who was carrying salt and vinegar in the back injured two, and had no choice but to give up two bags of salt and a bucket of vinegar.

Saying that, Zhong Minyan saw Xuanji walking out of breath, as if he was about to turn over, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't you really know any internal skills?" Tired like this! ”

Xuanji shook her head, not knowing whether to admit or deny. She seemed too tired to speak.

"Wait! Don't go there! Zhong Minyan saw her fall crookedly towards a large area of thorns, and hurriedly reached out to grab her, "Let you not learn things!" The physical strength is simply worse than that of ordinary people! ”

She looked up a little dazedly, the moon was hazy, and her face was blurred, as if covered with a thick veil. There are only two eyes, clear as autumn water, incredibly bright, and the fog inside, which seems to be bright and not bright, not like the usual Chu Xuanji.

Zhong Minyan was stunned for a moment, suddenly reached out and touched her forehead lightly, and changed color and said, "You have a fever!" ”

Xuanji herself touched her forehead and said softly, "I...... I just feel tired...... Some couldn't breathe...... Is it a fever? ”

Zhong Minyan remembered how wet she looked. Everyone is a cultivator, and their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, so no one cares about this matter. But Xuanji is different, she is a half-immortal cultivator at all, I am afraid that she will not even be able to memorize the complete mental method, and her clothes will be wet and dragged on for a long time before changing, no wonder she will catch a cold and fever.

"You can't do that!" He hurriedly said, "Let's go back!" Catching demons is not child's play, you are so weak, what if you get hurt? ”

Xuanji didn't speak.

Someone in front of her had already been attracted by his shouting, and Chu Yinghong saw that Xuanji's face was different, and immediately raised her hand to touch her forehead - "The girl is sick!" Master, why don't you send her back? She said worriedly.

Chu Lei looked up at the top of the mountain and asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Wang Orion, who was the first to start, said: "Come on, cross this slope, and there will be a big pond in front of you." ”

He sighed and looked back at Xuanji, his eyes full of reproach and pity. The evil consequences of this little daughter's laziness and lack of practice on weekdays have finally come out, dragging everyone back at such a critical juncture. It's not good to send someone to send her back, in case you encounter demons along the way, there is only one way to die.

He whispered, "Xuanji, hold on." It's coming soon. ”

She nodded, insisted on taking two steps forward, and suddenly heard Zhong Minyan behind her say urgently: "Don't go there!" ”

She was stunned, only to feel a sharp pain under her feet—she had stepped on the thorns!

Suddenly, her shoulder was suddenly wrenched, and her whole body was taken a few steps backwards by a strong force, and the wound under her feet stepped on the ground, making her belch in pain.

"Take your shoes off." Chu Lei hugged his little daughter and frowned.

Xuanji had a bitter face, she was really possessed by the moldy star today, why did she find her for all the mold? She grinned and threw off her shoes, and cocked her feet as she said, and everyone saw that the flesh and blood on the soles of her snow-white feet were blurred, and they didn't know how many holes they had been pierced, and it hurt for her to think about it.

"Sir, let me see." Chu Yinghong walked over, looked at her wounds carefully by the light of the fire, and then took out a slender pair of tweezers from the cowhide bag behind her waist, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'll help you pick out the thorns first." ”

Xuanji could only nod. She herself felt ashamed, her father was right, she didn't know anything, what she was best at was just dragging her feet.

When she turned around and saw Zhong Minyan and Yu Sifeng both standing behind and looking at her, she said in a low voice, "I'm sorry...... Always causing you trouble. ”

Zhong Minyan snorted, because of Chu Lei, he could only mutter: "You also know that you are a trouble......

Chu Yinghong picked out the thorns for her, put on some medicine, and tightly wrapped her feet with her own handkerchief before saying, "Xuanji is just afraid that she can't walk, so she has to find someone to carry her." ”

Chu Lei said: "I'll come." ”

She shook her head, "No." The three of us can't carry her, the demon will come out at some point, and we can't be distracted. ”

As she spoke, she turned around and beckoned to Zhong Minyan: "Minyan, you come to carry your little junior sister on your back." When you get to the pond, be sure to look around. I'm afraid that the smell of blood will cause them to attack suddenly. ”

Zhong Minyan was reluctant to say a hundred things in his stomach, but he couldn't refute Uncle Shi's words, so he could only come over and gently pick up Xuanji, and said in a low voice: "It's really a burden, I knew that you would stay in the inn and don't come out, how good!" ”

Xuanji was both feverish and injured, and she was weak and leaned softly on his back. Hearing him complain, she couldn't help but whisper, "It's my fault...... Next time, I will stay at the inn obediently and not come out. ”

Zhong Minyan has always had a temper that eats soft rather than hard, and when she said this, the resentment in her stomach couldn't be released, so she had to whisper: "Where will there be a next time!" I won't take you out in the future. ”

Xuanji was silent.

She leaned quietly on Zhong Minyan's back, gently undulating with his steps, and suddenly remembered many things in her heart.

She has always disliked cultivation, she is too lazy to practice martial arts, she is too lazy to meditate on the vest method, and she thinks it is stupid. She also always thought that she could stay in Shaoyang Peak forever, stay at home, and not see the wind and waves outside. But she didn't think that one day, she would leave the shelter of Shaoyang Peak and the care of her parents for this and that reason, just like this time.

She had just discovered that without everything she had relied on for her survival, she didn't know anything, she didn't understand anything, and she was really a nuisance. Anyone can say big things, and she used to be ashamed to say that she could protect herself alone. And now? Can she really protect herself?

Alas...... She sighed inwardly.

What exactly do you have to do to be lazy and protect yourself at the same time?

It was a serious question, and she thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't find an answer.

Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Xuanji felt lost for the first time. Everyone has their own pursuits, Daddy wants to cultivate into an immortal, Linglong wants to dominate Shaoyang, and Zhong Minyan wants to be recognized by Daddy...... And what about her? What does she want?

She didn't know.
