Chapter 24: Birthday Gifts

The purple bamboo forest during the day is very different from the night, like two places, and it is also relatively quiet, and the cry of wild beasts is almost not heard.

Li Xiuyan and the three of them have long been lost, but Li Xiuyan firmly believes that as long as they go in one direction, they can always go out, and as long as they get out of this strange bamboo forest, it will not be difficult to return to Yiling.

From noon to dusk, seeing that it was about to get dark, Li Xiuyan and the three of them finally successfully walked out of the purple bamboo forest before the last ray of sunlight disappeared.

It was dark, the three of them were tired and hungry, Li Xiuyan felt that they should find a place to stay, rest, eat something, and then go on the road.

Shen Xuanbing and Li Shuyao had no opinion.

The three of them came to a small stream, Li Xiuyan asked Li Shuyao to take care of Shen Xuanbing, he went to find some dead branches nearby, and lit a bonfire.

When Li Shuyao washed his hands, he found that there were fish in the stream, and hurriedly called Li Xiuyan to catch them.

The water was shallow, not ankle-high, and the fish in it were not large, but it was enough for three people to feed themselves.

Li Xiuyan's ability to catch fish is very strong, and he caught more than a dozen fish with only half a pillar of incense.

Li Shuyao couldn't catch fish, so he took over the cleaning up, cleaned up the fish caught by Li Xiuyan, dressed them, and roasted them on the bonfire.

After a while, the smell of fish was overflowing, and the little black dog that had been hiding in Li Shuyao's arms also came out, drooling greedily.

Li Shuyao saw that it was too small, so he picked a relatively small fish for it.

Li Xiuyan looked at the little black dog's eating appearance, and couldn't help pouting, not to mention that he looked ugly, and his eating appearance was ugly, I really doubted what Li Shuyao thought, and was actually willing to take in such a thing.

"Miss Shen, do you want to eat dog meat?" Li Xiuyan asked Shen Xuanbing with a smile.

"Brother!" Li Shuyao believed it, and took the little black dog into his arms, staring at the two big talking eyes, puffing out of anger.

Li Xiuyan laughed, "Look at you scared, I'll tease you, even if I want to eat dog meat, I won't eat it, it looks cold." ”

The little black dog in his arms seemed to be very human, barking at Li Xiuyan, as if venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Ahhh, you dare to bare your teeth with me, believe it or not, I really roasted you on the fire!" Li Xiuyan pretended to be fierce.

The little black dog is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and when he heard this, he immediately coaxed, and went directly into Li Shuyao's arms and didn't come out, and he didn't even eat the fish.

There was nothing to do all night, Li Xiuyan had recovered his lost soul power through a night of pranayama, not only that, but when it was almost dawn, his soul power cultivation had also been improved, from the previous period of five grades to a period of eight grades.

Shen Xuanbing saw that he had finally stopped breaking through, and asked with a surprised expression, "Did you take any pills, other people's soul power is improved by one product and one product, but you, you actually improved three products in a row, how did you do it?!"

Li Xiuyan scratched the back of his head, "If I tell you, I don't know what's going on, do you believe it?"

Shen Xuan glanced at him, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." ”

Li Xiuyan smiled bitterly in his heart, I really don't know......

After breakfast, Li Shuyao went to the stream to fetch water, and Li Xiuyan asked Shen Xuanbing, "What are your plans next?"

Shen Xuanbing pondered for a moment and said, "I want to go home." ”

Li Xiuyan nodded, "It's okay to go home, but if we go back like this, it is estimated that we won't even be able to enter the city, and we will die halfway." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Xuanbing looked at Li Xiuyan in confusion.

"There are situations that you may not know much about......"

Li Xiuyan took a deep breath and told Shen Xuanbing about the illusion he saw in Xinyue Lake that night, 1510.

After Shen Xuanbing listened, his face became extremely ugly, "What you said is true?"

"Well, although I don't know what Fairy Lingyin's purpose is in doing this, I am sure that she must have some conspiracy to deal with your Shen family. That's why I asked if your family had any grievances with the Lingyin Fairy. ”

"No, I have to go back now!"

After listening to Li Xiuyan's analysis, Shen Xuanbing couldn't sit still anymore, but as soon as she got together, she stumbled and fell, but fortunately, Li Xiuyan's eyes were quick and he hugged her.

Shen Xuanbing clenched her hands, her pretty face was full of pain, now that she has a problem even standing up, even if she can return to the Shen family, what can she do!

"Don't do this!" Li Xiuyan comforted softly. "If you really want to go back, I can help you. ”

"Do you have a way?" Although he couldn't do anything, Shen Xuanbing still wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Li Xiuyan nodded, "There is a way, but before you go back, you have to make some preparations......

After a simple freshening up, the three of them continued on the road, and near noon, Li Xiuyan finally saw the town.

Yucheng, located three hundred miles east of Yiling, is a medium-sized third-class town.

"Soul, do you have any money, lend me some first. Li Xiuyan is penniless now, and the three of them are in rags, and their appearance is too eye-catching.

"How can I have such a worldly thing, what do you think of me!" The soul did not lie, gold and silver were not much better for him than dog poop.

"When you're a poor bastard......" Li Xiuyan snorted angrily, he didn't have money and said that he was so elegant, what a stinky fart!

"I have silver on me, and I will find a cloth village, and we will change our clothes first. ”

Just when Li Xiuyan was worried about where to get the silver, Shen Xuanbing spoke.

Li Xiuyan was happy in his heart, and he was not polite, he pulled one by one, and quickly found a cloth village.

In addition to custom-made clothes, there are also some ready-made ones.

The three of them were in a hurry to return to Yiling, so naturally they didn't have time to wait for the order, so they each picked a suitable one and bought it directly.

Just as he was about to leave, the street outside the gate turned out to be under martial law for some reason, and there were officers and soldiers along the street, and all the people were driven to both sides of the street.

The gongs and drums at the end of the street were noisy, and Li Xiuyan looked for prestige, only to see a team of dozens of people, dressed in bright red clothes, walking towards this side.

In the middle of the procession, there is a special board car, more than a dozen wheels, I don't know what is put on the car, covered with red cloth, very heavy, where the wheels pass, the ground will leave deep ruts.

"What are you doing, kissing......" Li Xiuyan pouted.

The shopkeeper of Buzhuang walked out when he heard the sound, and when he heard Li Xiuyan's words, he stroked his half-white beard with a smile, "It's not a kiss, it's a birthday." ”

The corners of Li Xiuyan's mouth twitched, "What kind of person, I want to give such a big gift for my birthday." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Li Xiuyan, "You're from out of town, right?"

"Yes, the three of us brother and sister are looking for healing, and we are passing through here. Li Xiuyan casually talked nonsense.

The shopkeeper saw that Shen Xuanbing's legs and feet were inconvenient before, and he didn't suspect it, "No wonder it's ......"

"I want that, get it for me!"

The soul suddenly screamed without warning, and his tone was extremely excited, startling Li Xiuyan.

"You're sick, what's the name of the ghost all of a sudden!"

The soul didn't care about Li Xiuyan saying that he was sick, and he couldn't wait to say again, "I want that!"

"Which one?" Li Xiuyan felt as if he was really sick, and he spoke like a convulsion.

"That's it, the one under the red cloth!" the soul said in such a hurry that he changed his tone.

Li Xiuyan realized that he was talking about the birthday gift, so he asked curiously, "Do you know what it is, you want it?"
