He Chong left Qianfeng Mountain, did not dare to meet the martial arts people, and did not walk from the avenue, but from the grass next to the avenue. Zuo Tianyang, Qi Rongjie, Xiao Zhentao, and Ye Zhuoqing were very anxious when they heard about him He Chong, and they all went down the mountain to look for him, but they couldn't find him, so they had to go back to the mountain, hoping that he would have good luck again.

He Chong walked around in the grass again, walked to a blister, he saw a big man undressed, was taking a bath in the blister, he was startled, this person is five big and three thick, with a beard, a look of indifference, there is a knife next to the blister, at first glance, it looks like running the rivers and lakes. He Chong passed by him, he looked stunned, but seeing He Chong's eyes glazed and aimless, he seemed to be a little relieved and continued to take a bath.

He Chong continued to walk forward, he didn't want to run into people on the rivers and lakes again, he hoped to hide.

At this time, the man behind him shouted, "Child, be taken away, wait." ”

He Chong was very frightened when he heard this, and quickened his pace, and the louder the man shouted, the faster he ran, as if he wanted to get rid of something. The smoke was gone. The man couldn't see him, so he stopped shouting, took a bath, got dressed, took his weapon and walked to the side of the avenue.

He Chong didn't know where he was going, he didn't know where he was going, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't stop, so he continued to walk, his feet became lighter and lighter, his heart became more and more empty and panicked, and he silently shed tears. This time there was no one to comfort him, he felt chills all over his body, and he didn't want to stop and rest when he was tired of walking, just walking.

It was dark, the night was too long, so long that he didn't feel it would light up. He was so tired that he couldn't bear it anymore, and he fell into the grass and fainted.

I don't know how long it took, thin dark clouds covered the sky, and the silky rain swept across his cheeks, He Chong felt a little itchy on his face, he wiped the rain off his face with his hands, opened his eyes, and found that he was still in the grass, when he passed out, he gave himself countless beautiful life scenarios in his dreams, but when he opened his eyes, he still had to face the unpredictable reality, and he didn't know what to do. Climb up and keep going?

He Chong remembered that when he followed Liu Wenyuan and Qiu Tong to Qingshigou, he encountered many small towns along the way, and he thought that maybe he could go there to find something to do. I heard Liu Wenyuan say that it is very remote over there, and he should not meet those people he knows on the rivers and lakes. He stood up, and with a goal, he felt a little steady, and went all the way north. Last time, he returned to Qianfeng Mountain from that side, and he still had some memories of the way he walked, and he identified those scenes as he walked.

After walking for a while, he felt very hungry, his eyes were black, and his whole body was numb, but there was no money or food around him, and he felt frustrated again, and sat on the ground and wanted to cry without tears. I couldn't cry, I was desperate, he sat on the side of the road for a long time, his brain was wooden, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, he was usually quite capable, and there was nothing he could do at this time. It felt like there was darkness in front of me, as if there was no hope in sight.

Suddenly he seemed to see another glimmer of light in the darkness, and he tried to find that elusive glimmer of light, but he could not find it. At this moment, a group of people passed by him, and those people were discussing going to Xiaoye Village to collect the landlord's family to collect crops for others. They walked up to He Chong, glanced at him, and were about to continue walking, when they saw someone on the other side and said to them: "Hey, leader, find a few more people, there are too few people, not enough." ”

The man called "The Leader" was tall and thin, with small eyes and a sturdy appearance. He said, "We've all come here, where are you going to find someone? ”

The man who made the request to him said, "No matter, you have to find a way, or you won't be able to do it, and you won't earn this salary." ”

The thin man thought about it, he didn't want to lose this money, looked at the person behind him, bowed his head and said nothing, he turned his head to see He Chong, and saw that he was alone, his body was very strong, as if he had no work to do, so he walked up to him and asked him: "Child, do you know how to work?

He Chong asked him, "Make money?"

"That's right, I work for ten days, in addition to giving money, I also take care of food, and I can eat right away when I go here. Are you going?"

When He Chong heard that he could eat, his heart was a lot happier. Quickly got up and said, "Let's go, as long as you take care of the food, I'll go." ”

The leader asked, "Hey, there's someone willing to do it, what's going on?"

The person on the other side thought about it and gritted his teeth, "Let's do this first, in this way, I'll take them first, and you go to find a few more people, and the salary won't be less than yours." What's going on?"

The leader thought about it and said, "Try it, it's busy everywhere right now, and it's not good to find it." ”

"Try it. ”

He Chong followed those people, and soon entered the village, where he finally had a full meal. After working here for ten days, he didn't dare to say his identity, he made up a name for himself, called Qiu Shishi, no one cared who he was there, they were all busy, and he felt much better. After finishing the work, He Chong took a small salary and continued to walk north. He thought, just like now, find a place where no one knows him, find a job to do, and still survive.

He passed through many villages and small towns, where he earned some money, and he felt that his thoughts were slowly changing, and his life was less fearful.

One day, he walked to a large village, and heard passers-by say that this village is called Erli and a half Village, and it is two and a half miles away from the nearest town, so it is called this name. The man said that there was a big deal in the village, which was not something that ordinary people could do, and it was not clear what the specific business was, and it was said that few people dared to go, and there was no news of them later.

He Chong only listened to the head, he didn't have an idea, he knew that there was a big deal, he was very happy, he believed that this big deal was left to him, and ran there happily.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, I was greeted by a group of people, led by a few old men, who looked dressed differently from other people. Behind him was a group of villagers, who followed them to the entrance of the village, and several old men pointed here and there, and kept talking. When I saw him, I stood still and felt a little surprised.

He Chong was also stunned, not knowing what to say. After a moment of froze on both sides, a villager asked him, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

He Chong said: "I heard that there is a big deal here, so I came to ask what it is. ”

The villager said, "Buy, sell, what buy?"

"I just heard that your village is willing to pay a lot of money, I want to know what you want me to do?"

"What does this have to do with you? Do you know how to catch monsters?"

"Monster hunt......ing?"

"Look, you won't, don't let us waste money, it's not easy for us. You'd better go. ”

He Chong was a little unhappy when he heard that he couldn't do it, and said, "Why can't I do it? Look at my ......."

An old man said that he quickly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, the monster is too powerful, you are still so young, I'm afraid you haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, right? ”

When He Chong heard this, he was stunned, and muttered a little in his heart, but he had a lot of money to earn, and he couldn't lose this opportunity, and he didn't have no kung fu, but he just didn't know how to catch monsters.

A few old men over there looked at him, and one of them, a tall, thin, gray-bearded old man, said to him: "We are not sure if we can stop this monster, judging by the appearance of you, you have practiced martial arts at most, you shouldn't know how to hunt monsters, right?"

He Chong thought about money and went crazy, turned his heart sideways, and said: "I just know how to catch demons, you don't believe it, let's try it and see who is good." ”

The old man looked at him silently for a while, knowing that he couldn't do it, but he was losing money. Tell him: "Let's do it, let's work together, let's tell you how to catch demons, let's catch them together, how about sharing the wages equally after the deed?"

He Chong listened to it and felt quite satisfied, at least he had earned money, and it seemed that it was indispensable. He was about to agree, but an old man with a yellow face came up behind the thin old man and said, "Don't let him die, we are not so sure, let's find a senior brother to help." ”

The thin old man thought about it, shook his head and said, "Senior brother is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to come, and it's also very troublesome over there." ”

"Why don't you borrow someone from him? ”

The thin old man was thinking about it, He Chong thought to himself, it's broken, if you don't agree, this deal will have nothing to do with me, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, let's work together, I agree." ”

The thin old man ignored him, and said to the yellow-faced old man behind him: "That is the proud disciple of the senior brother, and his right-hand man, I'm afraid I can't borrow it." Then he turned his head and nodded at He Chong, and said, "Okay, let's discuss how to catch demons." ”
