The water temperature is rising, sitting in the big wooden barrel, the eldest lady gently picks water to help Ji Zhi take a bath, and serves her so well, making her feel uncomfortable!

"Auntie, do I have to do something?" Ji Zhi always believes that there is no merit, and the eldest mother must have a request for her to be so good!

"No, you don't! No, how can you have this kind of thought, isn't the aunt that kind of person in your heart? The eldest lady grinned, brought a towel and wiped Ji Zhi's hair!

"Auntie, I won't stay long if I leave soon!" Ji Zhi said.

"Let's go, don't you still be afraid that your aunt will do something to you! But where can you go as a weak woman? ”

"I'm going to the Absolute City!"

"That's far away, the road is difficult and dangerous, and the monsters are wanton, I feel like you shouldn't be able to get anywhere?"

"If you have silver taels, maybe I can hire someone to send me there!"

"What a waste! It's a tough journey, but I have someone to send you there! ”

"Oh? Auntie......"

"He went out hunting, and he hasn't come back yet! Probably won't be back tonight! ”

"Is that your family?"

"It's my son!" Lady nodded!

Ji Zhi seemed to have understood something, and said: "Auntie, you help me, let me stay overnight and invite me to dinner, I will repay in my own way, but I will definitely not promise to me!" ”

Hearing this, the eldest lady's face changed slightly, and her eyes were red and a little embarrassed, is this little girl a little too smart!

"Zhizhi, don't say that, you haven't seen my son yet!" The eldest lady stubbornly continued: "If you really have nowhere to go, child, maybe this is the best place for you, now the world is too chaotic, it is really dangerous for you to go to the city of despair by a girl!" ”

Ji Zhi didn't speak, she had her own plans, at least she didn't see that Chongwu didn't ask a clear understanding, she wouldn't think about the future!

"Okay! You insist on leaving, and my aunt can't keep you! But I still hope you'll think about it! ”

"Thanks, I'll think about it!"

Seeing off the eldest mother, Ji Zhi walked out of the barrel to wipe off the water stains on his body and put on clothes!

The first time she was served, Ji Zhi was a little nostalgic and a little worried, counting the time, if Ji Yan's little master was defeated again, she should have returned to the house, I don't know, what would she do to Ji Hua if she knew that she was dead!

However, thankfully, the uncles and aunts who took her in seem to be good people!

Lying on the bed, Ji Zhi's heart was complicated and difficult to calm down for a long time, what the eldest mother said was true, maybe she should really live an ordinary and stable life, and be a wife here. It's just that she is always unwilling!

Why, Shigego didn't come? Why, exactly? She was still puzzled!

The quiet village is especially secluded in the middle of the night, and through the windows you can see rows of dark shadows, as if everyone has slept!

"Zhizhi, rest early! Turn the lights out! "The eldest lady reminds softly next door!

"Okay!"

Blowing out the oil lamp, Ji Zhi's slippers went to bed and slowly closed his eyes!

The next day, the sky was just overcast, and the wafting smoke woke up Ji Zhi!

The eldest lady got up very early and was already preparing breakfast, but she didn't see the uncle in the house!

"He went to pick up his son at the entrance of the village, Zhizhi, you go to sleep for a while! I feel like you're weak! The eldest lady said.

"No, auntie, I'm in good spirits, I'll help you!"

"No, you go and rest!"

The eldest lady rejected Ji Zhi's kindness, this is a relatively distinguished guest for her, but she doesn't dare to call it!

Soon, two people in the earthen wall courtyard came one after another!

The uncle walked in front with his hands behind his back, followed by a man with a strong physique!

The man was tall and strong, with dark skin, short hair that clinged to his scalp stood up like steel needles, he was dressed in a black coarse linen robe, and the steel fork in his hand was cold and reflective!

This time he seemed to have a good harvest, carrying a small flower deer on his back and a small iron cage in his hand, which seemed to be a dog cub with bright red hair!

"What's wrong? Went out to squat and stayed overnight and hit a puppy back? "When I went out, I saw the iron cage in the man's hand, and the lady was a little puzzled!

Ji Zhi quietly leaned against the door and looked at the man without speaking!

"Mother, this is what I picked up?" The man smiled innocently, and his eyes glanced at Ji Zhi on the side, intentionally or unintentionally!

There was a guest in the house, and he had already heard from his father!

"Then why do you still outline its collarbone with silver?" Ji Zhi observed more carefully, and the dog cubs in the cage seemed to be not ordinary!

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the uncle and the aunt and even the man were a little strange, and they all looked at the iron cage to observe carefully, and sure enough, something was wrong!

The puppy cub's coat is bright, and that brightness doesn't seem to be pure red, it's red and black, and it seems that the color is blood condensed into color!

And the silver hook clavicle is even more exaggerated, the sharp hook has already pierced the flesh of the dog's cub, tightly squeezing its front shoulders and connecting with the spine, as if its fur is heavy, covering the silver hook stained red by blood before!

The dog in the cage seemed to realize something, and curled up pitifully in a corner of the cage, quietly watching everyone tremble!

"It doesn't seem to be a dog, either!" Ji Zhi approached quietly, and his fingers touched the dog's forehead along the gap in the iron cage!

Sure enough, it wasn't a dog, it seemed to have spiral-shaped black horns on its forehead, buried deep under its fur, and it was hard to spot!

"It's a monster, and it could be a mutant canine!" Ji Zhi gives a guess!

"Demon beasts?" Everyone else was shocked, especially the sturdy man who was a little more vigilant in an instant!

"Put it away! Silver hooks can be left behind! But it has to be let go, it's already a monster beast when it's so small, it must have a monster mother, and once its mother finds it, it's dangerous! Ji Zhi said.

"Good! Let's go! Let's go! The man didn't hesitate, looked at Ji Zhi and said, "Girl, do you want to come with me, I'm clumsy and afraid of hurting it!" ”

"Okay!"

Opening the iron cage, Ji Zhi held the dog in his arms, ripped off the silver hook on its body, and the two went deep into the back mountain together!

"Hello, Zhizhi, my name is Yuanji!" The man took the initiative to introduce and smiled softly.

"Hello!" Looking at him, Ji Zhi didn't show too much expression, she didn't want him to misunderstand, and she didn't want to embarrass herself!

"I heard from my father, I said, you are going to the City of Absolute Beauty?"

"Yes!"

"The city of Jedi is thousands of miles away from here, the road is dangerous, you are a weak woman......"

"Don't be afraid, this is an attitude and a determination!"

"What are you going to do in Jeopard?"

"Since you said that you were presumptuous, then I won't answer!" Ji Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head!

"Okay!"

The two continued to move forward, approaching the back mountain, and Ji Zhi combed the dog's fur and cleaned the wound with the mountain stream water.

This dog is indeed extraordinary, after some washing, its sluggish spirit has gradually recovered, and the fur that is red and spicy as hot as fire seems to be shiny again because of its spiritual recovery! In particular, the horns on the forehead are particularly delicate.

Helping it dry the water stains on its body, Ji Zhi gently put it on a grass and waited for it to leave!

"Let's go! Go to your mother, and if you can understand me, tell her! The law of survival of the jungle, some revenge, you don't necessarily have to revenge, although you were caught, but we also let go, I hope your mother can calm her anger and don't break into the human settlement! Ji Zhi pulled Yuanji and stayed away silently!

The dog seemed to understand, but it didn't seem to understand, just a slight pause, and then took a step into the distant mountain forest!

"Let's go!"

Back in that village, many people in the village had gone out to study, and everyone took the initiative to greet Yuanji and Ji Zhi when they saw them!

Yuan Ji always scratched his head in embarrassment, and Ji Zhi always smiled at it!

"Yuanji, I want to ask you for something, I wonder if you can help?"

"You said, if you can help, I will help!"

"I want some coiling, buy a horse!"

"You're going to ride to the Peerless City?"

"Can you borrow me?" Ji Zhi's eyes were firm: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back!" Maybe those two silver hooks will suffice! ”

Yuan Ji was a little hesitant, but he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him would be so firm in her belief in going to the Peerless City: "Okay!" I'll give you those two silver hooks when I go back!" However, I still want to say that the road is difficult and dangerous, and the city of Absolute is thousands of miles away, so you have to think clearly! ”

"I think very clearly! Thank you Yuanji, you are all good people and there will be good rewards! ”

Hearing about Ji Zhi's decision, the uncle's face turned green, and he said, "Little girl, you're really welcome!" Slept in my bed, ate my meal, and want to use the silver hook my son got to buy my horse? This ......"

"Uncle, I'll give it back to you! Definitely! Ji Zhi's eyes were firm, and he did what he said.

"Dad, if she wants to go, let her go! Maybe she really doesn't belong here! Yuan Ji said softly.

"Gotcha! Maybe......" The uncle was too lazy to worry about Ji Zhi, and said: "However, my horse's horse is not suitable for long-distance travel, and the horses in the village are not suitable, if you want to buy that kind of long-distance horse to buy it in Ji Zhicheng, you have to wait for me for two days!" ”

"Yes, uncle, thank you in advance!"

"Hmm...... Maybe it wasn't right to take you in the first place......"

After some tidying up, the uncle quickly left, rode his horse and whipped up and rode away in the simple non-tented carriage!

"Zhizhi, I still want to know the purpose of your trip to the Peerless City!" Yuanji still couldn't help but ask, if he could, he wanted to go with her to protect her, after all, this is just a weak woman and the road is far away!

"Brother Yuanji, I received your kindness, but I still want to go by myself, thank you! Thank you! ”

"Then you can rest first! My dad won't be back until tomorrow! ”

The other party insisted on it, and Yuan Ji couldn't say anything more, so he left silently and closed the door tightly!

Lying on the bed, Ji Zhi was still silently hesitating with bitterness in her heart, she also thought about staying as a wife to repay her kindness, but she was never reconciled!

Creak!

At this time, the earthen wall gate was pushed open, and it seemed that a guest had arrived!

Ji Zhi saw him through the window in the house!

The person who came was a bewitching man, with a cold and immature complexion, a tall and handsome figure, his eyes were bloody and scarlet, and his long hair like blood touched his waist and eyes!

He was dressed in a dark red brocade robe, and his status did not seem to be simple, especially the black long sword hanging from his waist, and he could feel a fierce murderous aura overflowing from it from a distance!

He seemed to have a purpose, and when he entered the courtyard, he looked at the corner of the courtyard, where the iron cage where the mutant dog was held a few days ago was placed!
