Another half a month later, just when I doubted that I could find the nine-tailed fox in Qingqiu Mountain because of the peace of the road, a cry caused us to pull the horse's head.

Since we climbed the mountain and crossed the base mountain, we have never seen a single family, not even a hermit or a savage. This cry is clearly a child, however, we have not seen anyone on this Qingqiu Mountain.

Could it be that at the foot of the mountain, children from villages and towns have broken in?

I looked at Jimo, and he was clearly hesitant to go over and find out. After all, in the middle of this kind of deep mountain, where everyone avoids talking about it, hearing a child's cry may not be a good thing that can save someone's life. But if you leave it alone like this, Ai Ai's cry in this issue is full of grievances and confusion, and it seems that people have to stop.

Catching my gaze, he frowned, but still hit his horse.

It was a cowering and crying child, with his back to us, huddled in a ball, which was distressing.

I raised an eyebrow at him—he was just a child.

He pursed his lips and didn't say anything, just got off his horse and walked slowly.

"Little girl? What's wrong? He hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice sounded hoarse.

The child just cried and didn't move.

If ordinary children feel aggrieved and scared, and see someone comforting them, are they also so indifferent? I tried to think about it, but I couldn't come up with an approximation.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. Where is your home, and we will send you back? He said patiently.

There was a gust of wind blowing, and the shadows of the clouds floated, just blocking out the dazzling sunlight. It was for a moment that I suddenly felt that the small figure was a little familiar.

In my heart, I suddenly felt a little afraid.

Just a little girl. I told myself.

"Little girl." Faintly unhappy, he raised his hand to pat the boy on the shoulder.

The moment his fingertips touched the little shoulder, the boy turned his head suddenly, and his eyes looked at me fiercely.

I understand why I am afraid, why I am familiar.

This is the child I rescued in Wolongkou.

She was gone, and I thought I was saying I couldn't get her out. It turns out that she came to this place? She is a child, how did she come here?

"Sister......" She pulled the corners of her lips and raised a big smile, but in those eyes, there was ruthlessness, resentment, and coldness, but there was no half of a smile.

My hair stood on end, and I looked at her in a daze.

Jimo waved his arm to catch her, but she took the first step and flashed in front of the horse.

My long hair hadn't been pulled up since I left the barracks, and it was now hanging in front of her eyes.

She raised her hand and pulled at my long hair hard, and the pain was transmitted to the scalp in an instant. She was very small, but her strength was great, and my body was crooked, and my wounded leg was not heavy, and I did not have the strength to clamp the horse's body, so I fell down and fell on the shoulder, cushioning the weight of my whole body.

I landed on the horse's hoof, and startled the horse, which was about to fall and nail me in an instant, regardless of the hoof. I didn't even have a chance to close my eyes and run away, so I watched the horse go crazy.

Suddenly, he rushed over, pulled the reins of the horse, tightened its bridles, and pulled it aside. I was just about to catch my breath and relax, and when I looked back, it was the child's hideous smile, a triumphant smile, a smile that did not belong to a child.

"Liao Xiao!" Jimo reacted quickly, but I turned my head and watched him fly in the air, his back hitting the tree, a loud bang, splashing blood.

When I turned my head again, there was no longer a child, but a huge fox with a pair of black eyes glowing blood. It exhaled, revealing a mouthful of sharp, sharp fangs.

It flew past me and pounced on Jimo, and at that moment, I saw its nine long tails, swinging up and down as it ran and jumped, like a hairy giant snake, which was terrifying and chilling.

Nine-Tailed Fox!

When it opened its mouth, its cry was like the cry of a child.

No matter how crude and shallow I am, I know that the Nine-Tails is a man-eating beast.

It didn't look at me, but pounced on Jimo.

There were so many flashes in my mind that I couldn't even see clearly.

He quickly drew his sword, and the sword without the sound of a dragon groaning looked vulnerable in front of this giant beast.

His back was covered with blood. I'm scared that he's going to fall like this, without warning.

But the fact that he was standing so firm made me even more worried. People always wonder if he is holding on.

Negative said, ask us to give him the nine-tails, along the way, Jimo and I have never said anything about this matter, after all, everyone has heard of the nine-tailed fox, but no one has ever seen it.

"It's just a fox."

That's his only assessment. There was no arrogance, no disdain, and a calm tone as if he were just stating the most ordinary things.

At this moment, I don't know what he should say.

Indeed, it was nothing more than a fox, a nine-tailed fox, a huge enough cannibal fox, a fox capable of transforming into a human form.

I carried a dagger and a short sword with me, and I hid it with small and small hidden weapons. Jimo always didn't worry about me, and after I went to Jingshi alone, he insisted that I pack a bunch of self-defense weapons.

At this moment, looking at the huge demon fox, these small things must be useless. But it's good to get its attention. It's good to hate me with such a strange thing, after all, I am also such a strange thing.

Before he could stand firmly, he raised his hand and threw the dagger out in a row.

Unsurprisingly, it didn't hurt it. As expected, it turned its head and looked at me with black, blood-glittering eyes. As expected, Jimo's figure shook, as if he wanted to step over, but was stopped by the injury.

The devouring light emanated from the eyes of the nine-tailed fox, making people tremble.

Jimo Dongli, go quickly. And why waste your energy here.

He just looked at me, his face pale and a little unsteady on his feet, but he still came step by step.

I bowed down and made a defensive gesture.

A sore waist.

My body is vague, perennial insufficiency, back pain is inevitable, but this time, menacing, I used to hurt my leg is difficult to support, waist now this pain, body is shaking even harder.

Fortunately, he stabilized and looked up, and a sly light flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Tails. For some reason, I always feel that this light has reduced that ruthlessness a lot.

It hung its head, its fangs bared, and the hot and humid breath came to my face, surprisingly, without the foul smell of the beast's mouth, as clean as its snow-white fur.

Jimo waved the sword in his hand again, and the sword qi roared and the wind was blowing, causing the nine tails to look sideways again.

Is he dying?

The Nine-Tails turned to him this time, and I lost all my hidden weapons, but I couldn't get it to turn back.

hurriedly walked over, but was glared back by Jimo's sharp eyes.

I was stunned for a moment and paused. That gaze has the free and domineering of lifting a sword, and there is also a kind of indescribable thing. But I understood that he didn't want a woman to block his injuries and death. He's a proud man, after all. Even if he died, he would die alone, exhausted, not behind a woman. That was the greatest shame for him.

I understand, but I can't help but worry.

Seeing that he was dripping blood with every step, who could put his mind at ease? If I am a man, I can help him, and I will be like a hairy leg, even if I am just a man and cook like the old man, it is good. It's better than this, you can only hide under his wing, you can only watch, no matter how close you are, you can't help him.

Born a woman, I can't help him, and I just generate this demonic appearance.

He struggled with the Nine-Tails, gradually losing his strength, and a sharp sword swirled and slipped in the air. I've never seen his sword out of his hand, even once, when the terrifying dragon roared out and everyone was stunned, he held the sword very steadily.

Before I could think about it, he suddenly jumped up, stretched out his arms to the back of the Nine-Tails' head, and the Nine-Tails opened its mouth wide to devour him, as if he was about to leap into its mouth.

Suddenly, a glance came over, I understood something, and hurriedly threw the short sword on my body over. Every time I lost the hidden weapon, I couldn't hit it, but every time I connected the hidden weapon, he was the only one, and he was very accurate. This time, too.

He swung his sword like a nine-tailed slash on the top of his head, such a short sword, for some reason, in his hand, it seemed that he suddenly had divine power.

In a trance, I seemed to be somewhat relieved. However, it was only in a trance.

Nine-Tails seemed to know what he was going to do, and their blade-like teeth bit down more and more fiercely.

It looks like they are going to die together, not dodging each other, but attacking each other.

At that moment, I don't know how I reacted, but it was only that moment, when I realized that I was already between him and the Nine-Tails, my waist, and I was being held in the mouth by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

It hurts, and I finally understand what it's like to cut my waist.

His sword was finally submerged in the Nine-Tails Heavenly Spirit, and many more swords were replenished, and the huge monster fell to the ground with a bang.

I had no support and immediately fell to my knees. Biting my lip and looking at Jimo's expression, I suddenly wanted to say something sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't leave him with a man's pride, I didn't honestly hide behind him and wait to sit back and enjoy it.

Maybe my mind has been lost, his always calm eyes, for a moment, are flustered, chaotic there is no order to follow, but in an instant, it fell silent again, it was still the usual him.

"Let's go find Mr. Xu, it'll be fine." His words turned a little pale against his face.

I nodded.

In the end, he panicked, regardless of the life and death fight, he only remembered to find the loser, but forgot about the nine tails. He panicked, even though his eyes were deceiving. Because he knows that no matter when, no matter what his identity, he is the one who can't mess with himself.

I tugged at his sleeve to remind him, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, cut off the nine tails, and left with me.

That day, he was a little noisy. Although it is true that it is a little helpless to talk about jokes on weekdays, but that day, it was a little too much.

He didn't want me to sleep, I was tired, but Qingqiu Mountain is so big, God knows where the minus will be. He is a ghostly person, just look for him for three days and three nights, rummaging all over Qingqiu Mountain, digging three feet into the ground, he doesn't want to show up, then we can only take him and have no choice. When he himself is willing to appear, and he will appear in front of others at some point, it is almost understandable to be frightened.

I don't want to wait for three days and three nights, and I don't want to be frightened suddenly, I'd rather just sleep like this, the nine-tailed fox is like this, there will be no more fierce beasts nearby, and there is Jimo here, it is about safe,

I didn't even selfishly think about Jimo's wounds, so I fell asleep against his words.

That sleep seemed to be a little long, and I had all kinds of bizarre dreams.

Father's, Mother's, Sister's...... Almost everyone I know, everyone who has been with me for even a moment, I have dreamed of it. The faces were clear, but they didn't remember what they did or said. Only about Jimo's dream, I know, know exactly what I dreamed of.

Because, I had that dream.

He turned into blood and dust in front of me, and dissolved into the dream of the ground.

Again, "If I die, it will definitely be ashes, and I won't let you wait for me to come back." ”

The person who said that was clearly not Jimo's voice, as usual.

I sank into this sentence and it took me a long time to come to my senses.

"The girl is awake, go and inform the master."

This is the first sentence I heard, Wu Nong's soft words, very delicate.

Tell me to look at my still confused eyes, desperately to see clearly, the eyebrows are delicate, the figure is slender, and the long skirt on the floor sets off a fairy aura.

Her hand was brushing my body with a wet handkerchief.

I was afraid that the people next to me would see even a small part of my arm, and I immediately wanted to retreat in fear, so I pulled the brocade quilt tightly with both hands and hid in the bed. She didn't move for a minute, but she seemed to understand what I meant, took her hand and covered the quilt for me, and respectfully stepped aside.

It was at this moment that the negative tenant pushed the door in. I hurriedly pulled at the bottom of the quilt to pull at the disheveled clothes.

He gave the woman a look, told the woman to go out, and then sat down on the edge of the bed slowly, looking at me quietly.

His brows were full of tiredness.

"A glass of water?" He was about to turn around and go backwards, but he looked at me again and said, "Don't worry, Jimo is fine, the broken arm has been renewed, he has a lot of physical exertion, and he is asleep." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of the water he handed to my lips.

"I can't stop here for a few days, the woman is a palace guard, and she can't leave Qingqiu Mountain for the rest of her life, so if you go to Danxue Mountain, you and Jimo Dong can only walk away from you and Jimo Dong on this road."

I bowed my head slightly, and I didn't expect anyone next to me.

His eyes flickered slightly, as if he was hiding something, and he didn't know how to speak.

I'm not one to get to the bottom of it, and I'm more likely to omit such things. However, this time, I always felt that something was wrong, hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask, when he raised his hand and pressed my forehead, as if to feel the temperature.

His brow furrowed, and he said, "You are very weak. ”

I looked at him, anyway, according to what he said, I was going to give my soul, is it still useful to keep a healthy body?

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

Can't save me? Didn't he already save my and Jimo's lives, and let people take care of them?

He furrowed his brow before finally saying, "You have broken your bones and are paralyzed." I'm sorry, I can't save you. ”

Hurt the bone, already paralyzed.

What does it mean to be paralyzed?

Where did you hurt your bones and you were paralyzed?

"I'll go see if Jimo is resting, and ask him to accompany you."

I pulled on the sleeve of the bearer, and I was afraid, not because I was paralyzed, but because I was afraid that he would know. Where is there anything to be afraid of a person like me? I just don't want to implicate others anymore.

"He'll find out sooner or later."

My hands tightened.

"Do you want to go to Danxue Mountain by yourself?" I always know what's going on in my heart, "You're ...... How can it be! ”

I lowered my eyes and looked at the plain brocade quilt. This place, clean and elegant like a fairyland,

He suddenly coughed, and I stared at it, and there was a touch of blood on the corner of my lips.

"I'll go first." He commanded in a low voice, his voice hoarse.

There is always something to be hidden. I didn't stop him. After all, I also need time to process my feelings. After all, it's paralyzed.

I took a deep breath and looked at the curtain hanging high, the plain dark lines, very fine and chic.

But the dark lines are too fine, which presses my heart and makes me panic.

The brocade quilt is so heavy that it sinks on the heart, and it makes people breathless.
