Ruan Ruan and the others rested in the big house, taking turns to listen to the movements in the village. It was the weather in August, hot and dry. At night, the wind blows, and the temperature becomes cooler. Several people cultivated separately and did not interfere with each other.

During the second watch at night, a black shadow appeared on the wall, and a black shadow slid down from the wall and slipped into the rooms of several people.

Ruan Ruan said in a low voice: "Since you are here, show up." ”

The black shadow didn't say anything, and with a flash of silver light in his hand, he stabbed Ruan Ruan's chest. There was a sound of breaking through the air, castration was extremely fast, and the frost sword in Ruan Ruan's hand was unsheathed, blocking the opponent's offensive. With a flip of his wrist, the true qi was everywhere, and a circle was shaken out, and the other party felt a suction force attacking, and the weapon in his hand was about to be unable to hold it. Snatching it back hard, Ruan Ruan rushed forward, and the long sword in his hand continued to draw circles, and his true qi covered the opponent's figure like layers of ropes. The black shadow only felt like he was in a stormy sea, his body could not be controlled, he staggered under his feet, and sat down on the ground.

Zhu Zixin and the others had already lit the lights, and when they saw the black shadow, they couldn't help but say "huh". The woman under the lamp had a beautiful face, and it was the woman that Zhu Zixin picked up from the grass that day.

Ruan Ruan put away the sword and asked, "What is the girl's intention to visit late at night?"

The woman stood up and saluted, "I am the person wanted in Lanzhou City, Xiu Chunhua." ”

Everyone was surprised, and Zhu Zixin said bluntly, "I rescued you that day, why do you want to take revenge." ”

The woman's face was shy, "The little woman just wanted to test it, don't blame." ”

Yuqing said angrily: "How can you be tempted like this, if you are not good at it, won't you be hurt by you." ”

Ruan Ruan waved her hand, "She has no killing intent, there must be a secret in it." ”

Xiu Chunhua nodded, "Childe Mingjian, it is true that because of the importance of the situation, I just want to know your depth, but now that I understand, I should ask for your help." ”

"I've heard that a few of them came to investigate the town of Qiu'an, but it wasn't as the city lord's mansion said, the surrounding villages were harassed by horse thieves. ”

"I was originally an ordinary woman in the village, because I had been hunting with my father since I was a child, and I learned some self-defense skills. The village has been peaceful until a few months ago, when a monster attacked the village, and the people in the village spontaneously organized a joint defense team, but unfortunately it was not the opponent of the monster. The monster was cunning and never confronted us head-on, and as more and more people died in the village, many of the villagers were forced to leave the village and hide in remote places. I have no way to go to the City Lord's Mansion for help, but the City Lord not only said that I spread rumors, but ......"

Her face turned red, she lowered her head, and the candlelight reflected her beautiful face like a flower, and she was shy and pleasant.

Zhu Zixin suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart when he looked at it, he just wanted to protect the person in front of him from being bullied, and it seemed that there was only that face left between heaven and earth.

When he was intoxicated, he received a slap on the top of his head, only to hear Dao Qiu Meili say coldly beside him: "Your saliva wet my vamp." ”

Zhu Zixin looked down and saw that the upper of his shoes was clean, and there was no moisture. Seeing Ruan Ruan and Yuqing covering their mouths and snickering, they were suddenly embarrassed, and their faces were as red as pig's liver, which contrasted with Xiuchunhua.

Xiu Chunhua didn't know how many people moved, and then said, "I didn't obey whether I lived or died, and I was locked in the room by him, saying that I wouldn't eat if I couldn't figure it out." After a few days of doing this, I stumbled upon a secret. The monster that harassed the villagers turned out to be the city lord's mansion that ran out. I desperately escaped from the city lord's mansion, wounded the guards, ran to the outskirts and fainted, and then I met you. At that time, I saw that you were young and did not know your details, so I did not dare to tell the truth, for fear of affecting innocent people. ”

"I hid in a nearby cellar with the villagers, and I didn't dare to spend the night in the village. When you are hungry, you can boil some wild vegetable soup to satisfy your hunger, and this kind of life is almost unbearable. Xiu Chunhua lowered her head, tears dripping from her eyes.

Zhu Zixin took out a handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her tears. She said thank you in a low voice, and Zhu Zixin couldn't help but feel pity when she saw her pear blossoms and rain.

Ruan Ruan remembered the cauldron she saw in the village and looked into her eyes, "If what you said is true, then this matter is very serious." The city lord is appointed by the Imperial City, and we can't alarm them without enough evidence. ”

Qiu Meili asked, "Then how do you know that I am here?"

Xiu Chunhua wiped her tears, "The town mayor knows where I am hiding with the villagers, I heard that a disciple of Tianxing Academy is coming, inform me, I heard the description and guessed that it was you." ”

"There were also disciples of Tianxing Academy who came before, why didn't they see any news. Ruan Ruan asked.

"Those disciples should have been bewitched by the City Lord's Mansion. If I were the lord of the city, I would have tried every means to hide this, but unfortunately those soldiers were also poisoned. Qiu Meili analyzed.

"What does that monster look like, and when does it usually move. Ruan Ruan asked.

"The monster's whole body is like ink, it is the size of an ordinary domestic dog when it runs, it moves like the wind, and it likes to eat people's hearts. ”

Yuqing said hatefully: "To raise such a fierce thing, I am ashamed to be the master of one party." ”

Ruan Ruan turned his head to look at Zhu Zixin: "Brother Zixin, you once said that Uncle Zhu has a very good personal relationship with the city lord of Lanzhou, I don't know how much you know." ”

Zhu Zixin touched his head and looked embarrassed, "My father only said that the city lord of Lanzhou had sent people to help Youzhou City resist the attack of Soul Devouring City, but it is estimated that the city lord of Lanzhou has never met him. ”

Lanzhou City - Youzhou City - Soul Eater City, Ruan Ruan connected these points in his mind, combined with the recent encounters, he vaguely felt an ominous atmosphere. But for now, we have to solve the problem of monsters first, and we can only ask for everyone's opinions.

Qiu Meili looked at Xiu Chunhua, "How did you meet the monster in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xiu Chunhua raised her head, with a look of fear on her face. "It was the third day that I went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for help and was imprisoned, and I haven't eaten for a few days. At night, through the window, I smelled the smell of barbecue, and I couldn't help but sneak out to look out. I saw a man in black roasting a piece of meat, and after a while the monster appeared, and the man in black fed the meat to the monster, and said to himself that the wild people had been hiding recently, and he cut a piece of prisoner's flesh from the death row to feed the monster. When I saw this, I was even more determined to escape. ”

Qiu Meili slapped the table violently, and sawdust splashed.

It was the first time for Ruan Ruan to see him so excited, and he called out, "Brother Qiu." ”

Qiu Meili came back to her senses, "I'm fine." ”

Ruan Ruan thought for a while and arranged for Zhu Zixin, "Brother Zixin, I can only grieve you to go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to investigate." Only you have the right status here, and we are ready to meet you in the city. ”

"Qing'er, you accompany Xiu Chunhua to take care of the villagers, settle them down in the town first, I believe that the monster is coming, and you can deal with it." ”

The people have agreed and prepared according to their plan.
