The more Li De spoke, the paler his face became, and he looked up at them with hopeful eyes, "A few immortal elders, the demon fox won't find me, right?" Will she come to take revenge on me? ”

He has been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and he has never dared to leave the house.

"Since there has been no wind and grass these days, you should be safe for the time being." Soho was comforted.

After they asked if they had seen the demon fox on the outskirts of the city, they went straight there.

"It's true that everything is written in the book." Qi Yucheng said in surprise, "The story of the scholar and the demon fox." ”

These strange stories are not novel among the people, and even Xue Jiaojiao has read a few books.

"The script may also be based on truth." Xue Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"I just don't know how many people that demon fox has eaten so far." Luo Yiming frowned tightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Xue Jiaojiao hummed softly, what Luo Yiming said was reasonable, if the demon fox ate a lot of people, it would not be so easy to deal with.

They went all the way to the place where Li De had found the demon fox, and there was indeed a bush under the low hillside that obscured the view.

The blood had dried up and blackened, and they hadn't found it.

Walking down the hillside, I found a dilapidated temple, with a crooked plaque covered in cobwebs and mottled handwriting.

"What is this place?" Soho kicked the plank off the front of the temple, and the dust kicked up, and she reached out and waved it.

"It looks like it used to be a temple." Qi Yucheng walked in as he spoke, and there was a Buddha statue in the middle of the hall, and he couldn't see the original appearance.

Xue Jiaojiao was also looking here, it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and the musty smell in the air was very strong.

The candles on the menorah were covered with cobwebs, and the offering table was covered with a thick layer of ash.

And on the other side of the corner is a straw mat, which looks like a sign of human habitation.

"Who are you?"

A head popped up from behind the large table where the idol was enshrined, and the little girl looked at them with a look of astonishment.

Qi Yucheng hurriedly said, "We just came here unintentionally. ”

Behind the little girl came a hobbling old man with one hand on her shoulder and the other on crutches.

"A-Yao, it's okay."

The little girl named Ah Yao walked over with her arms in her arms.

"What are the nobles doing here?" The old man's cloudy eyes looked at them.

Xue Jiaojiao asked, "Old man, do you live here?" ”

In this temple, only the vicinity of the straw mat is clean.

The old man shook his head and said, "No, my granddaughter A-Yao and I only came here the day before yesterday, and we have no place to rest, so we have to stay in this temple." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Xue Jiaojiao asked hesitantly, "Haven't you heard of a demon fox nearby?" ”

Although the people of Chiling Village didn't believe in the demon fox, but the matter also spread out, how could the grandfather and grandson be so hearty and rest in this broken temple.

"What demon fox? Don't talk about this to scare my grandfather! Ah Yao glared at them, and her tone was a little bad.

"A-Yao." The old man's voice raised a little, "A few don't blame, Ah Yao, she is just a little anxious." ”

Xue Jiaojiao hurriedly said that it was okay.

"We came from Lincheng, and we haven't heard of a demon fox here, if that's the case, then we'll leave as soon as possible."

Ah Yao said with some dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, your current body can't walk, rest for two more days." ”

The old man was about to speak, but Xue Jiaojiao opened his mouth first.

"Since it's inconvenient to move around, let's stay here with you."

Xue Jiaojiao asked other people's opinions, and they all said that there was no problem.

It would certainly be a good thing if the demon fox could be dealt with as soon as possible.

A-Yao flattened her mouth and said thank you.

The next few days have been peaceful, but A-Yao's grandfather is getting sicker and sicker.

Xue Jiaojiao and the others wanted to take him to the hospital in the city, but the old man stubbornly refused to go.

He only held Ah Yao's hand and said, "Ah Yao, I won't delay you, when I go west, you can leave quickly." ”

He has already reached the end of his life, and these few days have been stolen lives, but A-Yao is still so young.

Ah Yao cried with red eyes when she heard this, and she refused to say anything, no matter how she persuaded the old man, she was unwilling to go to the hospital.

Qi Yucheng scratched his head, and there was no way.

Luo Yiming leaned aside and watched, as if he also remembered his parents.

As he spoke, the old man looked at Xue Jiaojiao, "I gave up this face, and I hope that a few people will send A-Yao out of here safely." ”

"We will." Xue Jiaojiao agreed.

The old man died half a month later, and his body was finally exhausted.

In the past half a month, not to mention the demon fox, not even the wild fox that has not yet transformed has not seen a single one, and the four of them only feel very strange.

This task is assigned as if it were fake.

They helped Ah Yao bury the old man and set up a tombstone in front of the grave.

Ah Yao was wearing plain white linen clothes and was crying breathlessly.

"We'll see you off tomorrow." Xue Jiaojiao decided to send this little girl away first, and then talk about the demon fox.

Ah Yao whispered, "Thank you." ”

Soho felt a little sad when she saw that this little girl who had lost her only loved one didn't know how to survive in the future.

All they could do was give Ah Yao some entanglement.

After the old man was buried, they went back to the temple to settle down.

Several people took turns to comfort Ah Yao for a few words, and then they didn't speak again.

On the contrary, Luo Yiming seemed to be worried a lot, and said a few more words to Ayao.

Ah Yao looked at him with red, swollen eyes and sobbed lowly.

"Thank you, I'm glad I met you, the great kindness of several immortal elders, A-Yao will never forget."

"It's fine." Luo Yiming lowered his head, thinking of his parents who had been killed by the Immortal Slayer.

At that time, it was also Qu Celadon who took him to bury his parents.

The sky soon darkened, Xue Jiaojiao stood at the door of the temple, she had already turned around the suburbs of the city during this time, and went back to Chiling City again, but she didn't see any demon foxes.

It's weird.

Tonight's moon was hidden behind the clouds, and Xue Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy.

As the night deepened, they had no choice but to rest first and take turns keeping vigil.

Ah Yao opened her staring eyes and got up and went out to the toilet.

It didn't take long for him to run back in horror and grab Luo Yiming's clothes.

The other three were asleep, and now it was Luo Yiming's vigil.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yiming saw that her face was pale, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Ah Yao whispered, "I saw a few people coming over here, Immortal Chief, do you want to go out and have a look?" ”

Ah Yao's voice was still shaking when she spoke.

Luo Yiming thought of the demon fox, looked at the three people who were asleep next to him, he stretched out his hand and pushed Qi Yucheng, but there was no response, so he had to give up, go out to take a look by himself and then come back.

"I'll go with you." Yao looked up at him.

"It's too dangerous, you better stay here." Luo Yiming said disapprovingly.
