I only heard a woman's scream, and then a woman embroidered with peony flowers on her plain clothes ran out of the depths of the forest, the woman ran to Ruan Yuan's side, hugged Ruan Yuan's arm tightly, and hid behind Ruan Yuan, "Xiaodao Chang save me, save me, Xiaodao Chang ......"

Ruan Yuan was a little at a loss, but adhering to the fact that he was a good master of catching demons and eliminating demons, he protected the woman behind him very righteously.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Yuan asked.

"There are ghosts in this forest, there are female ghosts in this forest, the Taoist chief saves me, the Taoist saves me......" The woman said tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, hide behind me." Ruan Yuan pulled out the peachwood sword behind his back and held it in front of his chest.

Ruan Yuan suddenly shivered, it was so cold, how could this woman be cold all over her body.

"Ruan Yuan!" Yi Ling also rushed over when he heard the movement here.

As soon as Yi Ling came, Ruan Yuan was relieved and responded, "Yi Ling." ”

"Are you alright?" Yi Ling quickly ran to Ruan Yuan, hugged Ruan Yuan's shoulders, and after scanning around, his gaze finally stayed on Ruan Yuan's right foot, "What's the matter with your foot?" ”

Ruan Yuan also looked down at his feet, the blood was still dripping down, "It's okay, senior brother, ...... in the lake"

Yi Ling squatted down, gently held up Ruan Yuan's feet, carefully examined Ruan Yuan's wounds, and interrupted Ruan Yuan with a frown, "Don't move." ”

"This wound is surrounded by black gas, what have you encountered?" As he spoke, Yi Ling took out a small jade bottle, lifted the cap, and sprinkled medicine on Ruan Yuan's wound.

"There was something dirty in this lake, and I just went down to the lake to fish, and suddenly I was pulled into the lake by something, and I almost drowned." After Ruan Yuan finished talking about the matter, he remembered the woman behind him, and lowered his head to ask Yi Ling, "Also, the girl behind me also encountered a dirty thing, saying that there are female ghosts in this forest, senior brother, is there a monster at the foot of Wangyang Mountain?" ”

Yi Ling tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and bandaged Ruan Yuan, "There is no way forward." "There are them in this Wangyang Mountain, it stands to reason that the monsters in this radius of ten miles dare not approach, why are there suddenly so many monsters? Is this Luoyang really going to be in chaos?

As soon as Yi Ling finished bandaging, Ruan Yuan sat on the ground and put on his shoes and socks.

Yi Ling got up, only then did he see a woman standing behind Ruan Yuan, "Where did this girl encounter dirty things?" ”

"It was in the woods by the lake that I wanted to dig some wild vegetables and go back, but out of nowhere came a female ghost, and grabbed me by the neck, and I struggled several times to escape, and when I ran here, I saw this little master." The woman was frightened and pale.

"In broad daylight, where the hell came from?" Yi Ling stared at the woman.

The woman just hid behind Ruan Yuan timidly, not daring to speak.

The atmosphere was awkward, and Ruan Yuan interrupted in time, "Senior brother, you scared her." ”

After that, Ruan Yuan put on his shoes and socks, stood up from the ground, and turned around to ask the woman, "Don't be afraid, girl, my senior brother is not a bad person, I don't know where the girl's family lives?" ”

"I live near here, around the corner of this wood." The woman pointed to the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Xiaodao Chief, I see that your clothes are soaked, why don't you go to the little girl's house to drink tea and rest your feet, and bake the fire, so as not to get cold." The woman looked at Ruan Yuan with a look of concern.

As soon as Ruan Yuan wanted to refuse, Yi Ling took the lead in speaking, "In this way, it will be troublesome." ”

Ruan Yuan looked at Yi Ling in disbelief, what did this dog thief promise to do? Could it be that she has a bad heart for this girl, this woman is indeed beautiful, and there is a charm on her body, as if she can hook people's souls.

The woman led Ruan Yuan and Yi Ling through the forest, "I don't know the names of the two trail chiefs? ”

"His name is Yi Ling, the Taoist of Wangyang Mountain, you should have heard of it, my name is Ruan Yuan, and I have just entered Wangyang Mountain." Ruan Yuan responded with a smile.

"May I ask the girl's name?" Yi Ling took it and asked again.

"The little girl's surname is Li, and her single name is a ring character." Li Huan turned his head and smiled at Yi Ling.

This charming eyes are like silk, when she Ruan Yuan does not exist? Ruan Yuan suddenly became angry, blocked the middle of the two, and smirked at Li Huan, "Miss Li, hurry up and lead the way, you see I'm soaking wet, it's still cold this day." ”

Ruan Yuan said as he symbolically sneezed loudly.

Ruan Yuan rubbed his nose, "Look, look, I'm uncomfortable." ”

Li Huan could only smile, "Don't worry, it's almost there." ”

Yi Ling seemed to sense Ruan Yuan's jealousy, and snickered quietly, then walked up to Ruan Yuan, attached it to Ruan Yuan's ear, and deliberately asked, "Why don't you let this Li girl talk to me." ”

The warm breath poured on Ruan Yuan's ears, and Ruan Yuan blushed for a while, and hurriedly pushed Yi Ling away, "I'm afraid I'll catch a cold." ”

"Well, okay." Yi Ling clasped his hands behind his head and spoke leisurely.

The three of them stopped at a small wooden house, which was full of flowers, and the fragrance was so strong that it was a little pungent. In the courtyard, there was an old woman who was calling chickens with a food bowl.

"Mother-in-law, I'm back." Li Huan pushed open the courtyard door and hurriedly beckoned Ruan Yuan and Yi Ling into the house.

The old woman rubbed her eyes and looked over, "Xiaohuan is back." ”

"Mother-in-law, they are the little Taoist leaders of Wangyang Mountain, this is Miss Ruan, and this is Gongzi Yi." Li Huan introduced the two.

Yi Ling and Ruan Yuan said politely, "Mother-in-law is good." ”

Li Huan took the old woman's hand again, "Mother-in-law, Miss Ruan's clothes are wet." ”

"Okay, I'll go make a fire." The old woman nodded, and went to the side room with the food bowl.

Ruan Yuan looked at the back of the old woman, how strange this old woman was, she spoke slowly, there was no expression on her face, and her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, it was really weird!

And this house, why is it so cold, there are many flowers and plants planted around this house, mixed with some fragrant powder, the aroma is a little redundant and strong, does this Li Huan like flowers very much?

Ruan Yuan secretly pulled Yi Ling's sleeve, and of course Yi Ling understood what Ruan Yuan meant, so he reached out and touched Ruan Yuan's head, telling her to be relieved and not to act rashly.

Li Huan invited Ruan Yuan and the two into the house, and not long after the two entered the house, the old woman brought a pot of charcoal and left.

Li Huan brought a set of clothes, "Miss Ruan, if you don't dislike it, let's change it." ”

"Don't bother, I'll just bake the fire." Ruan Yuan smiled and declined, put his hand on the brazier, and asked, "Can I walk around your yard?" But for some reason, it was still so cold sitting by the brazier, and Ruan Yuan sneezed again.

"Of course, it's just that it's rainy in early spring, so be careful of being slippery." Li Huan smiled and nodded.

With Li Huan's permission, Ruan Yuan twisted his neck and went out, the courtyard was kept neatly and tidy, and there were four chickens in the small circle.

Ruan Yuan took a wooden branch and teased the old hen for a while before entering the house, leaving Yi Ling sitting there bored, "What about Miss Li?" ”

"I said I was a little hungry, so she went to cook." Yi Ling clenched his fist to his mouth and yawned.

Cook? Ghosts are most afraid of Xiaomi, Yi Ling is testing whether Li Huan is a ghost.

At this moment, the old woman walked in with a few pairs of chopsticks, she put down the chopsticks and turned around to leave.

"When did my mother-in-law move here, if I remember correctly, this house has long been deserted." Yi Ling opened his mouth to stop the old woman who was leaving.

The old woman turned around slowly, "The old woman has been living here. ”

"Yi Gongzi, we moved here half a month ago, my mother-in-law is old, she fell a few years ago, her head was injured, there was bruising, her memory is confused, and her speech is sometimes incomprehensible, Yi Gongzi should not be blamed." Li Huan walked in with two pots of side dishes, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"It doesn't matter." Yi Ling smiled decently.

Li Huan put the dish on the table, "Mother-in-law, go and look at the pot, the millet porridge should be almost hot." ”

"Okay." The old woman answered, and turned and went to the kitchen.

Ruan Yuan put his hands on the table and looked up at Li Huan, "Miss Li, this small courtyard is remote, and there are often wild beasts at night, why don't you live in the city?" ”

"I'm not afraid of Miss Ruan's jokes, my mother-in-law and I first arrived in Luoyang, and we are penniless, where do we have the money to live in the city." Li Huan smiled embarrassedly.

At this moment, the old woman walked in with a wooden basin full of millet porridge.

Li Huan took the wooden basin and put it on the table, "When I passed through here, I saw a deserted house here, so I cleaned it and moved in." ”

Ruan Yuan nodded thoughtfully, looking at Li Huan's outfit, with a sachet hanging from his waist, dressed plainly, but bright red peonies were embroidered in many places, how to look at how it was not coordinated, this peony pattern was mostly embroidered on brocade, it really didn't look like the coarse cloth clothes that would appear in ordinary people.

Li Huan served millet porridge for Ruan Yuan and Yi Ling, and handed it over, "Coarse tea and light rice, poor hospitality, and please don't dislike the two Taoist leaders." ”

"How? I would also like to thank Miss Li for her hospitality. Ruan Yuan took the bowl, still a little afraid to move, looked at Yi Ling, and gestured with his eyes, can this be eaten?

Yi Ling smiled and took a sip of millet porridge, "Don't eat it if you don't have an upset stomach, I vomited at home this morning, don't vomit at Miss Li's house later, it's rare for people to clean it." ”

"It's okay." Li Huan spoke.

"Don't worry about her, Miss Li, she's just breaking her stomach, let's just eat it ourselves." As he spoke, Yi Ling took the bowl full of millet porridge in Ruan Yuan's hand and put it on the table.

"Well, let's eat." Li Huan is very empathetic.

Yi Ling turned his head again and instructed Ruan Yuan, "Stay honest!" ”

He knew what she was thinking, it seemed that this guy could still deal with it, Ruan Yuan smiled and replied obediently, "Okay." ”

After lunch, the two sat down for a while before saying goodbye to Li Huan and the others.

As soon as the two stepped out of the courtyard door with their front feet, they heard Li Huan and the old woman arguing with their back feet.

"Xiaohuan, this chicken is not ours, the color of this chicken is wrong...... the old woman took Li Huan's hand and pointed to one of the old hens.

Li Huan was a little impatient, and brushed away the old woman's hand, "This is our chicken, mother-in-law, you remember it wrong, I have said it several times, why can't you always remember." ”

Ruan Yuan glanced back at the movement when he heard the movement, and then turned back to ask Yi Ling, "Then Li Huan is not afraid of millet, could we be mistaken." ”

"Whether it's a ghost or not, you'll always know, it's heavy here, and it's yin today, let's go faster, don't make sure there are other sneaky monsters in this forest, follow me." Yi Ling looked left and right at the forest, and when he came out of the courtyard, he always felt that something was following them.
