Chapter II

"Zhang Lie? Sure enough, it's a cheesy name. Xiaoyu was glad that she finally took revenge.

Xiaoxiao was about to speak, Zhang Lie suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but snort. Xiao Yu noticed that his lower abdomen was red, and couldn't help but sigh: "Are you injured?" ”

Nodding with some difficulty, Zhang Lie propped up his body a little: "I have caused two very troublesome monsters recently, and the day before yesterday I finally got rid of their pursuit and hid here..."

"Youkai?" Xiao Yu interrupted him in surprise: "So you are really a mage who slays demons and destroys demons?" ”

"Mage?" This time it was Zhang Lie's turn to be stunned, and he muttered, "Mage... I ate a lot..."

It's a pity that Xiao Yu didn't hear his words, she leaned forward to Zhang Lie excitedly: "No wonder you can use spells, that monster was also collected by you with a spell just now, right?" Hey, can you tell me what a real youkai looks like? I've never seen a youkai before. ”

Looking at the curious little girl in front of him with a smile and a smile, Zhang Lie's mouth suddenly cracked, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth: "The real monster looks the same as a human, and it can't be seen." ”

It's a pity that our eldest lady Xie couldn't hear the words in Zhang Lie's words at all, she nodded as a matter of course: "I know this, Old Man Zhang said that monsters will change in 72, and they are more like people than people." ”

"72 changes? It's really a stupid human being, such a profound spell, almost all of them are about to be lost, how can ordinary monsters be. Zhang Lie smiled bitterly and said in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Xiaoyu didn't hear clearly.

"Hmm... Nothing. Where do you live? Zhang Lie shook his head and asked again.

"It's just outside the mountain in the town of Joyama, don't you know? My dad is the town's Xie Yuanwai. Xiaoyu said proudly. But then he remembered that he didn't even know himself, so how could he know who his father was.

Sure enough, Zhang Lie nodded indifferently: "Do you have a Taoist temple or a temple in your town?" ”

Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "No, only the neighboring Shuangshui County has a Lingguan Temple, and every year there will be things in the Qingming Temple, and I and Xing'er slipped away to see it once, but it was lively..."

Ignoring Xiao Yu's words, Zhang Lie muttered: "So, there are really no threatening sorcerers nearby, no wonder there are so many strange beasts in this mountain, I can recuperate here with peace of mind." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiao Yu beside him and couldn't help grinning.

didn't know that Zhang Lie was making up his mind about himself, and Xiaoyu was waiting for him to continue to tell her about monsters with an expectant face. Suddenly, she saw that the blood oozing from Zhang Lie's abdomen had accumulated on the ground, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's not going to work, you have to wrap up your wounds." She pointed to the blood on the ground.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Lie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. At this time, Xiaoyu had hurriedly looked around: "What to wrap it in?" There's no bed linen or anything here..."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on her clothes, and she couldn't help but blush.

"Hey, put out the fire." After a while, she gritted her teeth and said to Zhang Lie in a mosquito-like voice.

"What?" At this time, even Zhang Lie was at a loss.

"Oh, if you destroy it, you will be destroyed!" Xiaoyu stomped her foot.

Shaking his head, as if he felt unbelievable that he would listen to such a little girl's words, Zhang Lie extinguished the fireball in his hand as he said, and in an instant, the cave fell into darkness again.

"You—You're not allowed to peek." Xiaoyu's voice was so thin that she could barely hear it, and even in the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers, she turned away.

Therefore, she didn't see that in the pitch-black hole, Zhang Lie's position lit up with two yellow points of light again.

There was a sound of gargling clothes rubbing, and in the invisible dark environment, it made people feel more reverie. After a while, the voice stopped, and Xiao Yu said faintly: "Now you can light the fire." ”

Swish... With a soft sound, the fireball appeared in Zhang Lie's palm again, and the cave returned to light.

Xiaoyu already had a ball of pale cyan cloth in her hand, judging from the hanging corners, there was quite delicate embroidery on the cloth, and Zhang Lie's sensitive nose had already smelled a faint body fragrance of a girl.

Hey, isn't it... Could that thing be...? Zhang Lie was naturally not a fool, and he almost immediately understood what Xiao Yu was holding in his hand.

Seeing him looking at himself dumbfounded, Xiaoyu's face turned red: "What are you looking at?" ”

As she spoke, she hung the cloth in her hand on the sharp rocks and made a few cuts, tore two of the three into strips of cloth, and then leaned over and wrapped Zhang Lie's wound without hesitation. It's just that the roots of her ears are already red.

The eldest lady of the Xie family is really bold, or she doesn't know what the defense of men and women is, and she actually does such a behavior that is enough to make outsiders look rebellious, compared to those so-called ladies who don't go out of the boudoir in three steps and abide by women's morals, but they don't know how much stronger.

In fact, even Xiaoyu didn't know what she was doing. Although she never took those dogmas seriously, she also knew that it was inappropriate for her to be so close to a man in the barren mountains and mountains, not to mention that she actually used the thing on her body to cover his wounds... So, until now, her mind is still dizzy and confused.

However, on the other hand, Xiaoyu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, Zhang Lie saved himself from the monster's mouth, and he is still a great "mage" who subdues demons and destroys demons, isn't it right to treat her injuries by himself? So, she simply attributed her behavior to repaying her kindness.

Looking at Xiao Yu, who was busy in his arms, Zhang Lie's secretly murderous gaze gradually softened. After a while, he sighed and said to himself: "Forget it, it's just an ordinary person, not a sorcerer, and eating it won't do her any good for the injury, so let her go." ”

Not knowing that he had turned out of the ghost gate, Xiao Yu wrapped up the wound, got up happily and looked at his results with satisfaction: "It's okay now, your injury will be healed soon." ”

With a noncommittal hum, Zhang Lie closed his eyes and stopped talking. Thinking that he was tired, Xiaoyu also obediently closed his mouth, sat on the ground, and looked out of the cave with his knees in a daze.

The fireball had been attached to a raised rock corner by Zhang Lie's side, and the slightly jumping flames made the shadows cast by the two of them also beat. Suddenly, there was a soft grunt in the silent cavern.

Strangely opening his eyes, Zhang Lie found that Xiaoyu was staring at his stomach with a flushed face.

"I—I haven't eaten for almost a day," Xiao Yu said, tears beginning to roll again.

After looking at him for a long time, Zhang Lie sighed helplessly and stood up. Xiaoyu jumped down and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"It just so happens that I'm also a little hungry, so I'm out looking for something to eat." Zhang Lie said and walked out.

"Ahh It's so dark outside. I'm scared alone, you come back early. "Xiao Yu is hesitant.

"Don't worry, nothing dares to enter this hole." Zhang Lie left a sentence indifferently and walked out.

After a while, the silent mountain range was suddenly broken by countless strange roars, and for a moment the mountains were filled with frightened cries. It seems that these monsters roaming the mountains are being chased by something terrible.

Xiao Yu shrank in the hole, covering her ears tightly, and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

I don't know how long it took, but the entrance to the cave suddenly went dark, and something blocked it. Xiao Yu jumped and was about to shout, but the person who came had already strode in, but it was Zhang Lie who came back.

On his shoulders was a monster the size of a cow, covered in armor, pure white, and with a dog's head. That thing has thousands of catties to say the least, but Zhang Lie carries it without feeling burdened at all.

"W-What is that?" Xiaoyu stammered and asked.

"Oh, this is 'Horse', I didn't expect there to be such a superb spirit beast in this mountain. It has quite strong spiritual power, and eating it is very good for injuries. Zhang Lie explained casually and threw the beast on his shoulder to the ground.

Sitting down, he ripped off a beast leg and handed it to Xiao Yu, while he grabbed the neck of the donkey and sucked the blood heavily. Looking at the beast's legs that exuded a thick bloody aura, Xiao Yu shook her head vigorously.

“?” Zhang Lie raised his eyebrows, obviously puzzled, but then he suddenly realized.

"Oh, you guys are going to be cooked." With a sigh, his entire right hand and the beast's legs burst into flames.

"No, no, no, I—I don't eat anything like that." Xiaoyu shook her hand in fear.

"And what are you going to eat?" Zhang Lie raised his head at this time, half of his face was covered with beast blood.

Startled by his appearance, Xiao Yu hurriedly turned his face: "Are there any wild fruits?" Or a hare or something..."

"It's a nuisance." Zhang Lie stretched out his tongue and licked the beast blood off his lips, his brows furrowed.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I, I just don't eat it." Xiaoyu waved her hand busily.

Zhang Lie ignored her, and just reached out and stuck his hand into the ground. In a moment, a large expanse of dirt swayed and swayed, and with a few twists, it had become a knee-high, lively villain.

"The blood really works, I can use the earth puppet so soon." Zhang Lie said happily, and then said to the natives on the ground: "Go, there is a rabbit nest two miles away, catch the rabbit for me." ”

Shrinking to the ground, the native disappeared with a snort, and Zhang Lie turned his attention back to the beast corpse.

The next thing that made Xiao Yu stunned happened, only to see Zhang Lie start to bite the skin and flesh of the donkey, and swallow the long and short pieces of meat into his stomach in two or three bites. However, in a moment, half of the beast corpse had disappeared, and the white bones left behind were not a single piece of flesh. And he showed no signs of being full, still gobbling it up.

Oh my God, this is a human, it's clear that one monster is eating another monster.

"Hey, it's raw, you'll have stomach trouble if you eat so much..."Xiao Yu couldn't help but persuade.

At this moment, the ground was slightly raised, and the puppet had returned to the hole again, holding a large, three, and four rabbits in its hands, all of which had been pinched into a blur of flesh and blood.

"Ahh Seeing that the rabbit cubs were still twitching slightly in pain, Xiaoyu reached out and grabbed it.

"It's so cruel, it's so small, why kill them." She said distressedly.

At this time, Zhang Lie had finished eating the meat, leaving a pair of smooth skeletons on the ground. Hearing this, he said strangely: "Didn't you say that you want to eat rabbits, why are you distressed now." ”

"That's right." Xiao Yu retorted confidently: "But why do you want to kill such a small rabbit? ”

Shaking his head to show that he was incomprehensible, Zhang Lie casually dispersed the puppet, grabbed the rabbit and began to bake: "Anyway, if you catch the big rabbits, they won't survive, and you can avoid a lot of pain after killing them now." ”

Glancing at him, Xiao Yu stuck out her tongue: "Really, you're still a mage." ”

Zhang Lie ignored her, and just increased the fire in his hand. Soon, a smell of cooked meat wafted into the hole, the rabbit was baked and cooked, and when it smelled the fragrance, Xiaoyu's stomach began to rumble again.

Pulling out the outer skin, Zhang Lie skillfully tore open the belly of the rabbit and pulled out the internal organs, and then handed the steaming rabbit meat to Xiaoyu. At this time, he didn't care about being shy, so Xiaoyu took it and chewed it.

After a short time, the stomach was full, and the drowsiness gradually came up, Xiaoyu talked to Zhang Lie without a match, and fell asleep after a while.

**

The rapper fell silent, and there was silence in the cave. Zhang Lie dispersed the illuminated fireball and quietly leaned against the bottom of the cave, licking his wounds.

"Ahh There are monsters... A lot, wandering around... Don't..."Suddenly, the sleeping Xiaoyu's body shook and began to talk intermittently in her dreams.

couldn't help but smile, Zhang Lie slapped his palms over, and was about to perform a meditation method to calm her down. Suddenly, his ears shrugged slightly, and he couldn't help but look outside the cave, and in the darkness of the mountains, there were many dark shadows wandering back and forth.

"How many monsters are out there?" Zhang Lie leaned into Xiao Yu's ear and whispered.

"Seven... No, five, two are already gone..."Xiao Yu replied in a daze.

With a move in his heart, Zhang Lie took a breath slowly, and his two fingers reached the center of Xiao Yu's eyebrows. Soon, two dim lights lit up between his fingers, like vibrating ripples, shaking into Xiao Yu's brain one by one.

Gradually, an expression of surprise appeared on Zhang Lie's face, and he withdrew his hand and muttered: "Such a strong inspiration, I didn't expect that I had been looking for a ghost candidate for so long, and it was right in front of me." ”

Standing up, Zhang Lie looked at the sleeping Xiaoyu condescendingly: "I wanted to send you away tomorrow, it seems... You and I will be together forever..."

"Stinky Mage, tomorrow... I'm going to eat steamed buns tomorrow..."Xiao Yu also muttered
