Chapter Twenty-Four: The Presence of Spirits Becomes a Lie
The Changsheng River, in the dense forest
The two children didn't care about eating, Jin Daiyi handed over the water, and said distressedly: "Eat slowly." ”
After eating, the two children thanked each other, and Bai Zifang pulled the older child and asked, "Why did you come here?"
Before he could say anything, the older child began to shed tears and cried: "We used to live in a small fishing village and lived a comfortable life, but some time ago a spirit monster came out of nowhere and destroyed our village, and the people in the village died and fled, and our parents also died at the hands of the spirits. ”
The little child cried even more loudly when he heard the news of his parents' death, Bai Zifang asked him to speak slowly, and the older one comforted his sister and told him what had happened.
His name is Da Mao, his sister's name is Xiao Hua, his family is in a small fishing village, and the family of four lives a simple and leisurely life, but out of nowhere came a spirit monster and captured half of the village's people, and I heard that the people who were captured became its food and were eaten. They originally wanted to escape with their parents, but they were discovered by the spirit monster and took their parents away.
"Master, could this spirit monster be ......" Bai Zifang also meant this, it seems that this small fishing village is their next target location.
"Da Mao, where is the small fishing village where you live?"
"What, are you going?" Da Mao seemed to see hope, "Can I go with you? ”
It was really inconvenient to take two children, but looking at his expectant eyes, Bai Zifang was also soft-hearted and couldn't refuse, "Okay, but if you encounter any danger, you must listen to me." ”
The two children nodded like garlic, and led Baizi to the small fishing village, walking for a day and a night, the trees became fewer and fewer, and when they reached the edge of the dense forest, Da Mao stopped, pointed to the distance and said, "It is estimated that you will be able to see the village after walking for a while." ”
"Be careful, everyone, the spirits may appear at any time. Hearing this, everyone grabbed their weapons and cautiously marched towards the village.
After a while, I saw a few houses, and when I got closer, they were surprisingly quiet, but there were no signs of a fight in the houses, and there was no one in the whole village.
"Da Mao?" The voice came from behind, Lin Xu instantly drew his sword and stabbed out, and Jin Daiyi's whip landed beside the man impartially, making him curl up in fright.
"Village chief?" Da Mao came out from under Lin Xu's arm and looked at the old man in front of him suspiciously.
He is not tall, his body looks quite strong, he looks timid and afraid, his long face, short eyebrows, and thin lips are trembling with fright: "You guys...... Who are you?"
Bai Zifang asked them to put away their weapons, and said with a smile: "Old man, we are passers-by who sent Da Mao and Xiao Hua home, he said that there are spirits in the village, are you here alone?"
Hearing him say this, the old man relaxed a lot, waved his hand and said with a smile: "What a spirit monster, it's just a beast." ”
"No, it's a spirit, and many people in the village have been captured. Da Mao firmly believed that he was not mistaken, but he witnessed the scene of his parents being taken away.
The village chief rubbed his hands and said amiably: "I think you are scared stupid, it is just a big beast, we are not captured or subdued by it, now it is locked in a cage, you don't have to be afraid." ”
"Oh?" If it were ordinary beast villagers, they might be able to subdue it, but if it was a spirit monster, it was unlikely, Bai Zifang thought it would be better to go and see it in person, "Can you please ask the old man to lead the way and show us." ”
"Okay. He was quick to agree, and as he led the way, he asked, "Where are you going?"
"Take the children to relatives. "The situation is unclear or don't reveal your identity for the time being, Bai Zifang thought and asked casually, "I heard Da Mao call you the village chief just now?"
"You just call me Lao Yu, and I am the head of this village because everyone has raised me. "Judging by his honest and honest appearance, he should be a good village chief.
In the middle of the village, a group of people were surrounding a large cage with a fierce beast more than one person tall, and it bared its teeth at the onlookers, and its fierce expression made people's hearts numb.
The village chief told everyone to stand far away to avoid injury, and when Bai Zifang and his party approached, the beast suddenly launched a madness, hitting the wooden cage violently with its head, and it was about to fall apart.
"I'm afraid that such a beast can't be closed in a wooden cage" Lin Xu's worries were immediately confirmed, and sure enough, under the repeated impacts of the beast, the cage was torn apart. Bai Zifang immediately threw out the Qingyan rope and tied up the beast, and the beast that was still resisting was hit hard by the short stick of Zhifang again, and fainted instantly.
Lin Xu checked that the beast didn't look like it had spiritual power, it should just be an ordinary beast.
Da Mao looked for his parents in the crowd, but he didn't find it, he just saw the village chief standing on the side with a different expression from before, looking at Lin Xu and the others fiercely.
"Village chief?" Da Mao's cry caused everyone to turn around, and the village chief's face was full of smiles, "What's wrong?" ”
Da Mao is now more worried about his parents, so he asked, "Have you seen my father?"
Lao Yu glanced at the beast and said with a little pity: "I'm afraid it has been eaten by the beast." ”
Da Mao looked at the beast that fainted on the ground, this was not the spirit monster they had encountered that day, he clearly remembered that the spirit monster had pointed teeth and a pair of green eyes.
In this case, I also asked the village chief to take care of their siblings on behalf of Da Mao's parents. After arranging them, Bai Zifang wanted to leave, but was blocked by the village chief.
He smiled and said: "Lao Yu has an uninvited invitation, this beast has been trapped by half of our village with great effort, and now the cage has been destroyed, if you leave at this time, I am afraid..."
"What are you afraid of, it's not tied with a rope. Zhifang's voice was a little louder, and he was so frightened that he ducked back.
Lao Yu said with a smile: "The cage can't be closed, this rope..."
"This is a Qingyan rope, and even the elm god can be tied. Hearing this, Lao Yu was shocked in his heart, and his eyes glanced at everyone from time to time.
He stumbled and vomited, annoyed Jin Daiyi, picked up the whip and pointed at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Lao Yu hurriedly waved his hand, shrunk his neck and said, "I don't know how to deal with this beast, and I don't have the ability to deal with it, so I ask you to help." ”
"It's hard to say, if I kill it, it's over. As she spoke, Jin Daiyi took out the dagger for self-defense and walked towards the beast.
Yue Ya'er grabbed her at this time and whispered, "Be careful, in case there is fraud." ”
Jin Daiyi thought to herself, what kind of deception could this be, but Yue Ya'er then said: "It's getting late today, why don't we wait for tomorrow to be bright?"
This is even more said that Jin Daiyi is confused, and she still needs to choose a day to kill a beast?
However, he was forced to stop by Yue Ya'er, and although he was a little disappointed when he heard that he would do it again tomorrow, he didn't dare to force it. Pulling Bai Zifang and saying that he could let them rest at his house tonight.
Da Mao and Xiao Hua wanted to go home to have a look, and Zhu Qin was relieved to decide to go to Da Mao's house with Sleeve and Wuqiao.
