The red-haired fox sensed the danger, shook off the book, jumped to the side, and the flying sword grazed the fox's head, and a puddle of blood fell into the grass with half an ear.

The red-haired fox took advantage of the flying sword whirling and rushed into the dense forest, and disappeared after a few falls.

The flying sword swung left and right in midair, whistling into the distance.

One person and two demons waited with bated breath for a while.

Sure that the fox and the flying sword were not nearby, Gongji lowered his voice and said to Li Chuan, "Scholar, do you still want to drink water?" Hurry up, we'll get out of here after we've drank. ”

Li Chuan hurriedly said, "I want it." Why don't I go alone? I drank it and came back. ”

The pliers on the side three scratched the ground a few times.

Although Gongji felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, he thought that the fox had already run away, and since the flying sword was chasing the fox, it was impossible for him to remain nearby, so he made a decision and said, "Let's go over together." ”

When he arrived at the stream, Li Chuan squatted down.

He tried to ignore the specks of blood on the stones, and the half-fox ears in the grass.

Reach out and drink with water in your hand.

The stream water is sweet and refreshing.

After washing my face again, I couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The next three halves of the body were soaked in water, spitting bubbles, and the dry lines seemed to be lighter.

Li Chuan glanced at the book dropped by the fox on the side, one corner of which was soaked in the water, and he reached out to pick it up.

When my hand touched the book, a golden light flickered in front of my eyes.

Li Chuan blinked his eyes twice, saw the golden sunlight shining on the stream, and without thinking about it, he put the book in the placket of his clothes.

Seeing that Li Chuan finished drinking the water, Gonger began to urge again, "Okay, okay, let's quickly find a place to rest and sleep, and we have to hurry at night!" ”

After leaving the stream, one person and two demons found a shady place to rest.

At dusk, a cool breeze rose and dense clouds filled the sky

The slight rain penetrated into his neck, Li Chuan shivered, and he called out to Gonger, who strode forward, and said, "Brother Gong, it's raining, let's quickly find a place to take shelter." ”

Gongji didn't stop, just turned his head and glanced at him, and said in a shrieked veto: "Nonsense, where there is rain, where there is rain!" ”

Pan San rolled his eyes, he felt the diffuse water vapor in the air, and said, "It's going to be big." ”

Li Chuan hurriedly continued to persuade: "Brother Gong, I'm not afraid of rushing, I'm sitting on Brother Pang, and I don't have to go out by myself with any strength." I'm afraid of rain, cold, and illness, so what should I do? ”

When Gongji heard the word sick, he suddenly shook his head and said, "You can't get sick!" Can't die! ”

It's just that Gong 2 and Pan 3 don't know where to take shelter from the rain.

They could only quicken their pace, all the way forward, all the way to search, until the night had completely fallen, and then they saw a ruined temple.

As soon as one person and two demons walked into the broken temple, they heard a boom, and white light exploded over the dense forest.

Raindrops the size of soybeans fell.

Li Chuan slipped off the crab shell, found a dry corner and sat down, took out the leftover meatloaf from noon and nibbled on a few bites, raised his head, and suddenly found that the next three were gone.

Li Chuan asked Gonger: "Where did Brother Pang go?" ”

Gongji's tail pointed outside, "He went to soak in the water." ”

Yes, crabs are not afraid of rain.

With the light of lightning, Li Chuan saw the layout of the ruined temple clearly.

In the middle is a broken statue of a god, which is estimated to be a god of the land; There are traces of frescoes on the surrounding walls, all peeled off and blurred.

Something seemed to be coming in from the rain.

Li Chuan turned his head and saw a person holding a broken umbrella and moving into the temple with his feet folded.

The man shook his umbrella and said, "It's raining heavily." ”

Then she seemed to see Li Chuan and Gongji hiding in the corner, and after looking at it, she took out the fire fold from the back basket and lit it.

Li Chuan and Gongji saw her appearance clearly - an old woman with gray hair.

Gongji shook his hair and relaxed his body.

Li Chuan was also a little disappointed in his heart.

When the old woman saw Li Chuan, she said, "Housheng, you can find out if there is firewood in the temple and make a fire." ”

When Li Chuan heard this, he looked around by the light of the fire, and there was a stool with a broken foot next to the back door, which might be used as firewood. He took the stool to the old woman, and the two of them worked together to dismantle the stool.

The old woman looked trembling, but her strength was greater than Li Chuan's, and her nails were black and long, like hooks.

After the fire was lit, the old woman put the basket aside, and she noticed the second male standing in the corner, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "What a mighty big!" ”

When Gong Er heard this, he turned around and pecked the ground with his head down.

The old woman laughed twice and sat down by the fire.

Li Chuan also sat down.

The fire was baking, and the body gradually warmed up.

The old woman asked him, "Housheng, where are you from?" ”

Li Chuan replied: "I am from Yunqiao Township. ”

The old woman asked: "Oh, Yunqiao Township, I went there when I was a child, where are you going?" ”

Li Chuan noticed that Gongji was looking at him, so he said, "Go visit an elder's house." ”

The two chatted a few words without a match, and the old woman looked very sleepy, and gradually stopped talking.

The night was long.

Li Chuan listened to the sound of the rain for a while, and felt that the rain would fall for at least a while, so he took out the book he picked up by the stream, and read the words on it by the light of the fire.

Fortunately, there is Xiucai Li Chuan's memory, and he can recognize five or six out of ten words, the title of the book is called "The Book of Tattoos", and he even looked at a few lines with guesses, which seems to be about how to make up the ornamentation.

Li Chuan secretly laughed in his heart that the fox was illiterate and regarded a reference book as a treasure.

Looking dizzy in half understanding, Li Chuan flipped the book back, there were no words in the second half of the book, they were all pictures, from simple to complex, maybe it was a decorative pattern.

Closing the book, Li Chuan casually glanced in the direction of the old woman, who was breathing heavily and snoring from time to time, and seemed to be asleep.

Suddenly, Li Chuan's pupils shrank, and he turned his head away from controlling his expression.

He saw that the old woman's right half of her ear was gone!

The heart is overturned over the wall, but there is no show on the face.

With his decades of accumulation of TV dramas and novels, he can be sure that the old woman in front of him is the red-haired fox by the stream during the day, and she is here for the "Tattoo Sutra" in his hand!

How did she find them?

What is her purpose?

If you just want a book, just give it to her.

But if she wants to kill her mouth......

Li Chuan thought about the performance of the two and three on the side during the day, and they were one and two demons together, and it was estimated that they were not her opponents.

Gong Er and Bian San, they didn't even find out that she was a demon!

So Li Chuan found the most difficult passage from his memory, and stammered and memorized it while shaking the book.

After memorizing it for a while, I heard the old woman ask: "Housheng, are you reading the words in this book?" ”
