When Shen Qiubao woke up again, it was already dark.

The fat old man was guarding the head of the bed, and when he saw that he was awake, he stood up happily: "Doll, are you awake?" The hall owner prescribed you a dose of medicine, and there was a simmer outside. I'll bring it to you. ”

"Old man. Shen Qiubao stopped him in a dumb voice, "You really didn't find my ninth sister?"

The fat old man shook his head and sighed.

"My ninth sister, she ......" Shen Qiubao only felt that the world was spinning for a while. Ninth sister, she shouldn't have been taken away by a wild beast, right?

As far as he knew, there had been two tragic incidents of wild beasts coming down the mountain to take away little dolls in Niutouao Village. He also went to those two houses with Brother Zhuangzi and them. A large pool of blood was also left at the scene.

The fat old man couldn't bear to comfort him: "Doll, don't scare yourself." The hall owner said, it is very likely that someone happened to pass by and rescued your ninth sister. ”

"Really?" Shen Qiubao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he looked at him with hope.

"Hmm. After dawn, I asked the owner to help me go to the cave to see it. "The fat old man touched his head," said the hall master, the sign of the bite of the beast in the cave. The branch blocking the entrance of the cave was obviously deliberately removed. After a pause, he added, "That mountain is not a place where people are extinct. People who live nearby often go into the mountains to collect firewood and dig up wild vegetables. Your ninth sister's life is very blessed, and someone happened to pass by, heard the movement, and rescued her. ”

Well, he didn't tell the whole story. The owner of the hall did say that the little girl may have been rescued by someone. However, the owner also said that judging from the pool of blood stains left at the scene, this possibility is very rare. Nine times out of ten, the little girl was dragged away by a wild beast like a fox. Because there are some messy claws left in the cave. And those claws look a lot like those left by foxes.

The reason why I say "very similar" is because the owner said that the shape of these animal paw prints is the same as that left by the fox, but it is obviously much larger.

"Maybe it's the demon fox ......" Although there are no traces of bites at the scene, seeing these big fox paw prints, the owner of the hall is very optimistic about the whereabouts of the little girl - it is very likely that the little girl was captured by the demon fox.

The fat old man had heard of it. If a person has a spiritual root, he can cultivate immortals, which is the "immortal official" mentioned by the immortal mansion. And the birds and beasts in the world have spiritual wisdom and can also cultivate demons and immortals. If they are used by immortal officials, they are spirit beasts, and if they are hidden in the deep mountains and old forests where there are no human beings, they are demon beasts.

Generally speaking, spirit animals are restrained by their owners and will not take the initiative to hurt people. And they have lived here for decades, and they have never heard of demon beasts infested in the surrounding mountains, so the hall owner concluded that it was a passing demon fox.

The fat old man has always been the most convinced of the hall owner. Since the owner of the pavilion said that nine times out of ten she was captured by the demon fox, then the little girl is now more than lucky.

For this, the fat old man felt quite guilty - speaking of which, if the little doll had not fallen into the wild boar pit he had dug when he was out looking for water, he would not have left the little girl alone. And the owner of the hall said, according to the records in the "Demon Beast Chronicle", the demon fox is timid and cautious by nature, and rarely takes the initiative to attack people. The demon fox passing by is even worse. If there were two people in the cave at that time, presumably the demon fox would not dare to kidnap people. All in all, he has unshirkable responsibility for the little doll's injury, and he is also indirectly responsible for the little girl's whereabouts.

The little doll heard the bad news last night and passed out on the spot. The fat old man was also frightened. He hurriedly invited the hall owner to come over. After the latter cut the pulse, he said that the little doll was already a little weak, and now she was seriously injured and lost too much blood, which made it worse, and her heart was damaged, and she could no longer stand the slightest fright.

During this time, the little doll has to meditate and recuperate. Otherwise, it will fall into the root of the disease and lose its longevity. These are the exact words of the owner.

What a sin. The fat old man felt even more guilty in his heart, so he naturally didn't dare to tell the verdict of the hall owner, so he only picked up the good ones.

"Doll, I have asked the hall master, during this time, you can stay here to recuperate. When the injury is healed, I will accompany you to the nearby family to investigate. If your ninth sister is rescued, we will definitely be able to find out. He said softly.

"Thank you, old man. Shen Qiubao felt that what he said was very reasonable. Now, when his entire left leg doesn't move, he still feels numb. Just move a little, and the pain will be terrible. In such a situation, he couldn't even get out of bed, so how could he go out and look for his eldest sister from house to house?

As for the wild boar pit dug by the old man that injured him, he did not hate it at all: because he knew that the situation of him and his eldest sister was exhausted. The eldest sister burned like that, and with his ability, he couldn't take the eldest sister down the mountain to find Langzhong, so he could only continue to stay in the cave. How long can they stay up without food or drink? Not to mention, at night, the wild dogs will come around again...... As soon as he thought of such a situation, he fell into deep despair, and the old man was kind-hearted, took him in to recuperate from his injuries, and went up the mountain to find the ninth sister overnight, and he was full of gratitude in his heart for doing so much for him.

"Alas, Hanwa......" The fat old man didn't know what to say, so he touched his head again with pity, "I'll go and serve you medicine." ”

Seeing that Shen Qiubao finished drinking the decoction, he went to the stove and brought in a bowl of corn porridge and half a mixed noodle steamed bun. Seeing that Shen Qiubao had finished eating, holding the empty porridge bowl with a reluctant face, he happily explained: "Your stomach has been empty for a long time, and you have to raise it first, you can't eat too much at one time." ”

Shen Qiubao was embarrassed, thanked him, and returned the empty bowl to him.

"Good baby. The fat old man liked it more and more, and when he saw that he was in good spirits, he sat down on the edge of the bed and asked gently, "What's your name?" ”

Since leaving her aunt's house, Shen Jiumei has repeatedly warned Shen Qiubao not to show the slightest trace of Niutouao Village. He really listened to it. So, without hesitation, he opened his mouth and said the fake name "Shen Yun" and the set of rhetoric that he had made.

"Poor Yunwa. The fat old man actually roughly guessed that he was an orphan without a father and a mother. However, what he didn't expect was that the two dolls were thrown into the barren mountains and old forests by their only relatives to fend for themselves. What he didn't expect was that the two dolls walked out unharmed.

It's not easy to have two little dolls, it's really distressing. He looked at Shen Qiubao, and the soft water in his eyes could drip out.

"Grandpa, where is this?" Shen Qiubao asked cautiously.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The fat old man smiled, "This is the Liu Family Boxing Gym." I am the domestic servant of the hall owner, and I follow the master's surname, and everyone calls me Lao Liutou. ”

"Boxing gym?" Shen Qiubao's eyes widened in disbelief, "Is it a martial arts gym?"

"Yes. "Old Liu, hehe.

My head is a little dizzy...... Shen Qiubao suddenly had a feeling of being hit by a gold ingot, and couldn't help grabbing one of Old Liu's hands: "Grandpa Liu, do you recruit apprentices in the Martial Arts Pavilion?" From the very beginning, he never decided that it was necessary for the Qingyun Martial Arts Pavilion. He really doesn't choose, as long as it's a martial arts hall, he can teach him martial arts. And the reason why I can't forget the Qingyun Martial Arts Pavilion is just to hear the little monkey say that there is only one martial arts hall in Shixiu County that recruits apprentices all year round.

"Well, it's a move. Old Liu Tou was very embarrassed, "However, we haven't recruited an apprentice for many years. ”

What does this mean? The Liu Family Boxing Gym is very difficult to test, and ordinary people can't get into the apprentices here, right? Shen Qiubao's nervous heart suddenly jumped into his throat: "Why?"

Old Liu scratched his head: "The main thing is that the Liu family boxing in our martial arts hall is difficult to learn." If it weren't for his outstanding talent, he wouldn't have been able to learn even the skin without more than ten or twenty years of hard work. Most of the people who come to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts are holding that they will take the martial arts test after studying for a year or two to make a name for themselves. They were scared away when they heard that it was going to take so long. And our pavilion owner is also very selective in accepting apprentices, and it is difficult for ordinary dolls to enter his eyes. After the reputation spread, fewer and fewer people came to take the apprenticeship. "Over the years, there have been many people in front of the martial arts hall, and it is often difficult to see even one person asking in three or five months.

Shen Qiubao was silent. The former, he is not afraid. Because he studied martial arts, he didn't go for the fame of martial arts tests. He really wanted to learn the real thing. Because only when he learns the true skills, can he find the immortal rune soldiers for revenge. He was worried about the latter: he didn't know if he could get into the eyes of the hall owner......

Old Liu Tou was deaf and clear-sighted, so he naturally saw the little doll's thoughts.

He really likes this doll, and besides, he feels that he can't live with others, so he has the heart to make up for it.

Although the hall master has his own ancestral rules and regulations for accepting apprentices, no one can violate them, but as long as Yun Wa really wants to learn martial arts, even if he can't get into the eyes of the hall master, it is not impossible for him to give up this old face and ask the hall master to recommend Yun Wa to other martial arts halls.

He smiled and said, "Yunwa, you have to heal your injuries now." If you don't have a good body, you can't learn martial arts. ”

"yes, I see. Shen Qiubao nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu." ”
