Chapter 21: The Gray-Clothed Old Iron

Tired, hungry and thirsty, Li Xiao, his limbs were weak, his brain was chaotic due to lack of oxygen, he closed his eyes in despair, and listened carefully to the movement behind him. However, there didn't seem to be any noise behind him.

After a while, Li Xiao regained half of his physical strength, and his brain was not so groggy anymore, he quickly got up from the ground, and looked behind him in horror, and behind him was a tall, thin man with an expressionless face. Lao Tie was dressed in gray and wore a thick gray cloak.

Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and looked at Lao Tie suspiciously. Lao Tie was stunned for a while, and didn't say anything. Li Xiaoxin said: Lao Tie, this pervert, can he be invisible? He always follows me in the shadows, but he is not in a hurry to show up and catch me, is he trying to play the game of cat catching mice?

Li Xiao was thinking about it, when Lao Tie suddenly stretched out his right hand, his hand was like an eagle's claw, fast as lightning, and firmly grabbed Li Xiao's left wrist. Li Xiao was taken aback, and hurriedly shook his hand a few times, and his wrist seemed to be caught by an iron hoop. In desperation, Li Xiao let Lao Tie hold his wrist and followed Lao Tie towards the Jinniu Town Market.

After walking for a while, Li Xiao felt uneasy in his heart, if he returned to Lehehe Restaurant, would he still have his life?

When approaching the Jinniu Town Market, there were more passers-by, many of whom were northern disaster victims with large bags and small bags, calling for children and daughters, and the voices were mixed.

Li smiled and said: "Now we must find a way to escape, what should we do? Is it okay to shout for help? Is there a person who is brave enough to see righteousness? I have seen some cases of criminals violating minors before, and minors do not dare to shout for help. I'll have to call for help today, and there's no other way to do it anyway. ”

Chairman Mao said that only the unthinkable, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Li Xiao was in the Jinniu Town market, facing hundreds of passers-by, shouting for help, and fighting Lao Tie. There were more and more people around who dared to speak out of righteous indignation, as well as passers-by who watched the excitement, and gradually surrounded Li Xiao and Lao Tie in the middle.

Lao Tie used his left hand to push away the circles of people in front of the road, and his right hand vigorously squeezed Li Xiao's wrist, which made Li Xiao grin and cry. The extreme pain in his wrist inspired Li Xiao's determination to escape. Enduring the severe pain, Li Xiao used his hands and feet together, grabbing Lao Tie indiscriminately in an irregular manner, and in the chaos, there were passers-by who attacked Lao Tie a few times with their feet or hands. A farmer with an iron hoe, taking advantage of Lao Tie's unpreparedness, slammed the hoe towards Lao Tie's thigh, Lao Tie's eyes were quick, and he held the hoe with his left hand. Another thin man dressed as a hunter didn't want to hurt people, and slowly stabbed the iron fork in his hand at Lao Tie's face, there were too many people around, and Lao Tie didn't want to hurt people, so he couldn't dodge the iron fork, so he had to let go of his right hand, and after vigorously pushing away the passers-by next to him with his right hand, he drew his saber. At this time, there happened to be a woman who was squeezed between Lao Tie and Li Xiao, and Lao Tie had to withdraw the saber. Li Xiao lowered his head and bumped into the passers-by beside him, and other passers-by also made way for Li Xiao. After getting rid of Lao Tie's grasp, Li Xiao escaped smoothly with the help of passers-by.

The instinct to survive prompted Li Xiao to run desperately again, and Li Xiao, who was running, felt that his legs were very heavy, and he fell down several times, and his nose and face were swollen.

Li Xiao secretly said in his heart: You must run, keep running, if you don't run, your life will be in danger, and if you don't run, you will suffer even more.

When the passers-by saw that the child had fled, they quickly dispersed. Only seven or eight big men did not leave, and they looked at Lao Tie with a smile and said cool things with bad intentions. "How can that guy embarrass a child?" "He went out to hunt for thieves and caught a child. "It's still our Shenma Town Market Inspection Division's errand guards. "Leader Linghu, this is your senior brother?!" ......

Lao Tie glared at one of the middle-aged men in gray, and said in his heart: It turns out, yes, Linghu will not forget.

Linghu Wuwu is Lao Tie's fellow disciple. Lao Tie ignored the rumors of the seven or eight people, turned his head and ignored them, and went around to chase Li Xiao.

After leaving the Jinniu Town Market, Lao Tie walked briskly on the official road for a while, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whistled loudly, and as soon as the whistle stopped, a monster more than one meter high and more than three meters long came out of the woods.

The monster was thin and long, with green eyes, black and white fangs, gray hair, a head similar to a dog's head, a slightly long neck, a very short tail, black smoke coming in and out of its mouth and nose when it breathed, and a slightly short forelimb, extremely strong front and rear limbs, and sharp claws on all four soles.

This ugly demon beast is the "dry mouth roe deer", the dry mouth roe is relatively rare in the middle and southern regions of the Great Xuan Kingdom, it can not only stand up and walk, run, but also run and jump like a rabbit, and even jump and slide on the tree with the hook and claw of the limbs.

Legend has it that rivers and lakes dry up where the roe deer appears, and then drought occurs, and it is also said that where drought occurs, when the rivers and lakes dry up to the bottom, the roe deer, which used to live under the water, comes ashore.

The monster can sense the smell, language, and sound of Lao Tie, and it always avoids humans, secretly following Lao Tie, and obeying Lao Tie's call. Lao Tie found that Li Xiao was very capable of running, and he was worried that he would not be able to catch up with Li Xiao, so he summoned his secret mount.

Li Xiao ran for a long time, and once again ran until he was exhausted, he put his hands on the knees of his legs, panting like a cow. Li Xiao, who was out of breath, slowly alternated his left and right feet, slowly moving forward, a stream of thought supporting Li Xiao, he had to go far away, and he must not stop.

###

It was already dark, Li Xiao turned his body again, looked at the road behind him, and still didn't see Lao Tie catching up.

Li Xiao, who was already tired to the limit, breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he couldn't run anymore, so he avoided the official road, made a big circle in the woods, went around from the south of the road to the north of the road, and after clearing the footprints, he hid in the bushes far away from the side of the road. After Li Xiao hid herself, she didn't care about anything and fell asleep tiredly.

Cool summer nights with lots of mosquitoes in the dense woods. Li Xiao, who was awakened by mosquitoes, suddenly sobered up. Li Xiao, who was scolding mosquitoes in his heart, rubbed his aching eyes, and found that his eyes were so painful that he couldn't open them, so he had to continue to sleep for a while.

The sky is not yet bright, and it is still dark all around, Li Xiao is worried in his heart, if there is a bear infested, I can pretend to be dead, if there is a gray wolf, I will be finished.

Enduring the hunger, Li Xiao slowly groped for the branches around him, trying to put the branches in his mouth and chew and swallow. The bitter taste of the twigs made Li Xiao retched a few times.

The sky gradually brightened, Li Xiao panicked away the branches, walked to the side of the road, and secretly observed the official road illuminated by the crescent moon.

The crescent moon hangs in the eastern sky, with the moon facing east, in the shape of the letter C. It's the waning moon, and it looks like it's dawn. Li Xiaoxin said: After a night, I don't know where Lao Tie's monster is, it's best to go back to Lehehe Restaurant.

Li Xiao hesitated, not knowing whether to stay away from the Jinniu Town Bazaar first, or to find Aunt Li and the second girl first. In the end, Li Xiao decided to leave the Jinniu Town Market first, and then come to inquire about the whereabouts of Aunt Li and the second girl.

When the sky was bright, just when Li Xiao's eyes blinked, a faint white light suddenly appeared on the official road in front of him, and the light of the white light group changed from faint to strong, and slowly, it turned into a large white light group.

The white light cluster became brighter and brighter, and gradually turned into Lao Tie and a big lanky ugly dog. Lao Tie was still wearing loose gray clothes and a long-standing double-edged knife, and he was arranging a folded gray cloak in his hand.

Li Xiao chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "Damn, this is a monster!"
