Chapter Seventy-Three: The Teahouse

The man said that he had planned to take his daughter away from home, but these "people" chased him and forced him back here.

"They want you to fight for your life, and you can't escape." After Long Xuanling finished speaking, he motioned to the man to give him the talisman: "I'll add a few strokes for you, these corpse demons, I can't find your breath for the time being." ”

"Really?" The man raised his head excitedly and looked at Long Xuanling.

Long Xuanling just looked at him indifferently, and the man carefully removed the two talismans from his daughter's neck.

Seeing that the two amulets were on the little girl's body, I knew that although this father had done a lot of hurtful things and died innocently, he really loved his daughter.

That's why I put my amulet on the little girl.

Long Xuanling took the rune paper, found cinnabar from my baggage, and quickly added a few strokes to the rune paper at the tip of his fingertips, and then folded it into a gossip shape and handed it back to the man.

"This talisman paper can protect you for a maximum of forty-nine days, and during this time, settle your daughter." Long Xuanling lowered his eyes and glanced at the well-behaved child.

The man nodded vigorously, he said that he originally wanted to send the child back to his wife's maiden home, and if there were no "people" to stop him, more than forty days would be enough.

"What are you not doing well, you have to be a bandit? You're all to blame. Mingyue frowned and looked at the man.

The man nodded: "Girl, what you said is not wrong, but in these years, we have no choice, not to rob, what to eat and drink?" We bandits have also been robbed by others. ”

"These are not excuses." Mingyue frowned and interrupted the man's words.

Presumably, Mingyue also recalled the scene of the fall of Beijing and the burning and looting of bandits.

If they want to eat and drink, they will kill innocents? Then now these innocent people come to take revenge, and it is also a matter of course.

"By the way, the demon hunter you met before, did you say that you were looking for someone in Jiangcheng in the past?" When I saw that the man had put away the amulet, I wanted to inquire carefully about my uncle's whereabouts.

The man thought for a while, and then said, "I heard that the demon hunter and that girl said that Jincheng has changed hands, and it is rumored that Lu Dashuai fled to Jiangcheng with his family?" ”

"What?" I was stunned, Lu Jingcheng had died in the tomb of the living, and there would be such rumors.

Presumably, the little uncle should want to go to Jiangcheng to find Yunhe.

"When did you meet them?" I asked.

"Two days ago, I met in a teahouse in front of here." The man told the truth.

Two days ago? I thought that if we chased it now, we might be able to catch it, but now that it was raining outside, we were doomed to not be able to leave tonight.

"When the rain stops, we'll leave right away." Long Xuanling saw my anxiety and spoke.

I nodded, and a few of them sat around the fire.

It was as if God had heard my heart, and in the middle of the night, the rain stopped.

We immediately decided to leave the ruined temple immediately, and when we left, we left half of the dry food for the father and daughter.

The man hugged his sleeping daughter and thanked him repeatedly, and we set off with our bags on our backs.

Following what the man said, I continued to walk along the road, it was too dark, Long Xuanling held a torch in one hand and pulled me forward quickly with the other.

The silence around was a little scary, and Mingyue walked hurriedly, following me closely.

"Mmmmmm

"The yin qi is thick, the early morning has passed, and now it is the Midyear Festival." Long Xuanling whispered, reminding me and Mingyue to be careful.

Mingyue shrank her head, before, when she wanted to follow us, she looked like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now when she heard what Long Xuanling said about the strong yin qi, and it happened that today was the Midyear Festival, she was suddenly a little scared.

She also lowered her voice and whispered in my ear, "Miss Luo, can you also give me a talisman?" ”

"The amulet works against ordinary evils, but the big demon is?" As I was talking, suddenly, I felt a demonic aura attack behind me, so I turned my head sharply.

But there was nothing behind him, and there was nothing.

And my action frightened Mingyue on the side.

"What's wrong with Miss Luo?" She asked, looking nervously around.

"It's okay, maybe I'm too careful." I muttered to myself and continued to follow Long Xuanling forward.

The three of them walked on this already very muddy road for more than an hour, and a trace of fish belly white gradually appeared in the sky.

I thought to myself, it was almost dawn, and there should be no danger.

"Long Xuanling, is there a teahouse?" I squinted and looked ahead, and there was a teahouse in the distance, presumably the same place where the man said he had met my little uncle.

"Hmm." Long Xuanling nodded.

We walked towards the teahouse, it was not yet dawn, and I thought that the teahouse must not be open to welcome customers.

But when she got close to the teahouse, she saw an old woman crouching in front of the threshold of the teahouse, with a brazier in front of her, and she was throwing paper money into the basin at the moment.

"Old woman, bring us a pot of hot tea." Long Xuanling saw that Mingyue and I were holding our hands in front of our chests, and it seemed to be a little cold, so I asked for a pot of hot tea.

And the old woman raised her head and looked at the three of us with some surprise: "Today, it's the Midyear Festival, don't do business." ”

After speaking, he paused again: "Even if you are in a hurry, you can't rush this time." Her wrinkled face showed a hint of vigilance: "Otherwise, it will provoke evil spirits." ”

After she finished speaking, she was going to invite us into the teahouse to sit down, not selling tea, but inviting us to drink.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." I hurriedly thanked the old woman.

The old woman waved her hand: "You young people, you are all stupid and bold, you don't believe that there is evil in this world, right?" ”

As she spoke, she put the burned pot of paper money on the side of the door, lit three more sticks of incense, bowed three times to the door, and then put the incense in front of the threshold, and then came in, washed her hands and made us tea.

"A few of you, are you going to Jiangcheng?" The old woman asked as she made us a cup of hot tea.

I raised my head in some surprise and looked at the old woman: "Mother-in-law, how do you know?" ”

"Hey, this world, chaos! Recently, those who have passed by have inquired about the way to Jiangcheng. After the old woman finished speaking, she sat aside: "In short, you wait until dawn before you go." ”

I glanced out the door, it should soon be dark, and nodded at the old woman.

"If you don't dislike it, I still have a room here, so you can drink hot tea and go and rest." The old woman looked at us and said.

I took a sip of tea, and it was very mellow.

Long Xuanling glanced at me and Mingyue, and said that he was tired of the old woman, and specially took out an ocean to prepare for the old woman, but the old woman refused, took my hand, and was going to take me to the side room.

And as soon as she touched my hand, I noticed that her hand was extremely cold.
