Chapter 28 You save my life, and I will protect you
Originally, Hu Man'er was going to continue to hurry, but now that Orion was in urgent need of treatment, he couldn't leave, so he had to pick up Orion by the waist and put him on horseback and walked towards the nearest medical hall.
Fortunately, Orion only suffered some skin injuries, which were not fatal, and he quickly woke up under Lang Zhong's treatment.
Hu Man'er could have put down Orion and left, but when he heard Orion say that there was a demon, Hu Man'er had to stay and ask for an explanation.
When Orion woke up, when he saw Hu Man'er, he hurriedly got up and wanted to bow down, shouting: "Xie Shaoxia's life-saving grace, Xie Shaoxia's life-saving grace." ”
Hu Man'er hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Orion's thin body and said: "Uncle must not, how can my generation receive such a big gift, it is just a gesture, uncle should not take it to heart." I just heard my uncle say that there are monsters, but I don't know what it means. Maybe I can help below. ”
Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in Orion's eyes, and his body trembled a little. But I still forced myself to tell the story.
It turns out that Orion has been hunting in the nearby mountains and forests since he was a child, and on weekdays, he hunted some hares and foxes to sell in the market, or took them to large families to exchange for some rice and noodles.
But somehow, in recent days, the mountains and forests that used to have a lot of prey can no longer find small beasts to catch. Unable to catch prey, the hunter had no livelihood, so he called his son to go deep into the mountains with him to see if he could find some prey, and if he met jackals, tigers and leopards, he would have a good response.
Unexpectedly, the father and son walked a long distance without finding suitable prey, not even a pheasant.
At this time, it was getting dark, and it was impossible to come back. Coincidentally, they found a temple that had long been dilapidated. It was also a place to live, so as not to be attacked by larger beasts, and the father and son decided to spend the night in the temple.
Maybe it was a tired day, and the father and son went to bed early. Until the middle of the night, Orion had some abdominal pain and wanted to get up easily, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that there was a giant worm as thick as a bucket devouring a young man.
Orion's heart was cold, and he didn't care about being afraid to pull out the firewood knife on his waist and cut the giant snake, but he didn't think about it, the scales of the giant snake were as hard as steel, and the woodknife was cut but it didn't hurt it in the slightest.
After swallowing the young man into his belly, the big worm turned his head to look at Orion, and said in a human voice: "You are too old, and the immortal does not like it." Then he swept the hunter out of the temple by his tail until he was far away.
Fortunately, Orion had a big life and did not fall to his death, but he was frightened and knew that his son was not saved, so he dragged his injured body back and ran all night, until he ran out of the mountains and forests and met Hu Man'er, which was considered to save his life.
When Orion talked about this, he was already in tears, and he couldn't cry. After a while, he passed out again.
Lang Zhong, who was cleaning up on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to check, and found that Orion was just overly sad, not breathing, and let out a long sigh.
"Shaoxia doesn't know, this is not the first victim of us. In our town, several people have been harmed one after another, and they are specifically picking young men to attack. This one is lucky, and the monsters don't like it. Otherwise, there is no life to come back alive. ”
When Hu Man'er heard that there was such a thing as anger and resentment, he immediately gritted his teeth angrily, and his fists clenched with a gurgling sound.
Hurriedly took out some broken silver and threw it on the table, telling Lang Zhong to treat the uncle well, and he went out of the hospital and turned over his horse and drove the horse straight to the mountain forest, regardless of Lang Zhong shouting loudly behind him, just rushed forward.
Hu Man'er walked around the mountains and forests for a long time, until the sky gradually darkened, and then found the broken temple that the uncle said.
Hu Man'er turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to a big tree at the temple gate, and stepped into the temple alone.
The broken temple should have been some years, and even the clay sculptures enshrined in the temple have been weathered and cannot be seen, only a general outline remains.
There are still remnants of yesterday's bonfire used by the uncle and his son to keep warm on the ground. Hu Man'er turned around, but didn't find any movement, and by the way, he collected some dead branches and firewood to re-light the bonfire.
Sitting by the campfire, watching the dancing flames stunned.
Hu Man'er stretched out his hand and patted the mountain kui on the side, and asked, "Will you be sure?"
Shan Kui was slightly shocked and did not make a sound, but Hu Man'er heard it really in his heart.
"Childe, are you sure you'll come?"
"Yes. Hu Man'er was categorical.
"Isn't that enough, and ask me what to do?"
Hu Man'er smiled bitterly, suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey, why didn't you come out to see me after I came out of the villa?"
"Childe doesn't know, I said before that the sword mound is a place to raise swords, and the reason why I can transform into a human is because I was in the sword mound, and now that I am out of the sword mound, I can no longer transform into a human. Even you and I can only communicate in your heart, and others can't hear it. ”
Hu Man'er was a little confused, and comforted: "It's okay, when we go back to the master, I'll ask the master if there is a way to get you out of the sword body, my master is a sword immortal, there should be a way." ”
"Childe doesn't have to worry too much, Childe is willing to take me out of the mountain is already a great gift, and Childe is content. Besides, is the sword spirit still a sword spirit when it is separated from the sword body? It is enough to be able to stay by Childe's side. ”
Hu Man'er was a little moved in her heart, and secretly swore that she would have the opportunity to let Shankui get out of the sword body and let him go free.
I was speechless for a while, and I don't know how long it took, until Hu Man'er was a little sleepy. Just about to lie down to sleep, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horses' hooves outside.
Hu Man'er got up suddenly, holding the hilt of Shankui's sword, the sword intent was so strong, as if he was a sharp blade.
But then the people who appeared outside the temple gate made Hu Man'er stunned on the spot.
It's white again, and it's white horses.
The woman in white stepped into the temple and saw that there was still a person in the temple, and she was also stunned, but when she saw this person clearly, a trace of surprise flashed in her calm eyes, and it was fleeting.
But the woman in white was still speechless, slowly bolted the white horse aside, walked into the temple, and found a remote corner to sit down. Take a piece of dry food from the accompanying package and stuff it into your mouth little by little.
Hu Man'er looked at this woman blankly, with some inexplicable joy in her heart.
After a long time, Hu Man'er calmed down a little, and hurriedly got up and said, "That, girl, I haven't thanked you for saving my life." In Xia Hu Man'er, thank you girl for saving my life. ”
The woman was still expressionless, chewing the dry food in her mouth. didn't answer, and didn't even look at Hu Man'er.
Hu Man'er was a little embarrassed, but despite this, he continued: "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention saving people's lives." If the girl has something to use, just command. ”
Still speechless, as if she was the only one in this temple. Hu Man'er glanced at her beautiful face, especially her eyes as calm as the surface of a lake.
She didn't speak, even if Hu Man'er had thousands of words of thanks, it was like a stream flowing into the river without a response.
After trying a few times, Hu Man'er gave up. There was silence in the temple for a while, except for the sound of the two of them breathing and the crackling of the flames as they burned and withered branches.
After eating, the woman leaned against the stone pillar behind her and closed her eyes.
Hu Man'er picked a bonfire to make Nuan Qi closer to the girl. Then the sleepiness swept over again, and he fell into a groggy sleep.
Until late at night, the woman who had closed her eyes suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head slightly to look outside the temple.
In the darkness, the good horse outside the door was a little restless. couldn't stop hissing in his mouth, and Hu Man'er woke up in shock. first glanced at the woman in white, then walked out of the broken temple with the hilt of the sword, and when he reached the door, he didn't forget to turn his head and tell the woman: "Girl, don't go out, there may be danger next, you still stay in the temple." If anything, call me out loud. ”
The woman remained expressionless, just looking out the door into the darkness.
Hu Man'er didn't wait long to stride out, but as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard someone speak.
"Yo, this son is so handsome, why did he come to this deep mountain and old forest late at night? Oh...... I see, did you have a tryst with the fairy sister inside?"
The voice came from the doorway, and it was very charming. Hu Man'er got goosebumps when he heard this.
As soon as the words fell, a beautiful young woman walked in from outside the door, with a thin waist of willow and heavy makeup. Fair-skinned and not like a human color. What's even more excessive is that the woman's chest is only wrapped in a plain cloth, and half of her breasts are squeezed out raw. There was only a thin veil on his body, and there was no cover on his snow-white long legs, and a pair of jade feet were barefoot on the ground.
Hu Man'er hurriedly turned his head to the side, lifted the mountain kui in his hand, pointed at the woman and said, "Sister monster, you have done a great job." This is also to run into me, if you were someone else, you wouldn't have taken your soul away. It's a pity, grandpa, I don't like old ones either. ”
The woman's face was a little displeased when she heard this, but she didn't explode, she just lifted the scarf to cover her red lips and giggled.
"Yo Yo Yo, Childe's mouth is a little bad. Why don't you dare to look at people?" said and reached out to touch Hu Man'er's face.
Hu Man'er hurriedly took a few steps back and teased: "It's not that I don't dare to look at it, but I'm afraid that if you see too much, you will vomit." Don't pretend, that young Orion was eaten by you last night. ”
When the woman heard this, her face changed, and a vicious color immediately hung on her face.
"Oh...... It turns out that you are here for revenge, young man, you are a little arrogant, you came alone, not afraid that I will eat you too?"
Hu Man'er turned his head to look directly at the bewitching woman, his face slightly raised.
"Auntie, you're so ugly. ”
After speaking, he used a force under his feet, and rose into the air, and the mountain kui in his hand sharpened a sword horizontally. The majestic sword qi flew in front of the snake demon in an instant.
The snake demon saw that Hu Man'er had some skills, but he didn't take it hard, so he hurriedly dodged the blow sideways, and then grabbed it with five fingers, probed his body, and grabbed Hu Man'er's face.
Hu Man'er hurriedly withdrew back to Shankui and blocked in front of him. The snake demon's palm was right on top of Shankui, and the sound of the bell was like two tough iron weapons colliding together.
The two of them took a few steps back at the same time, and the snake demon was a little annoyed, but it was still full of playfulness when he spoke.
"Yo yo, the son is good, it's better not to fight, stay and be a pair of happy mandarin ducks with the slave family, wouldn't it be seconds, the slave family will make you want to die." ”
Hu Man'er smiled coldly.
"I said, you're too old, I don't like to eat. ”
After finishing speaking, he rose into the air again, and the true qi flowed into the sword, and in an instant, Shan Kui let out a crisp sword sound, and with a faint golden light, the Tai Chi pattern on the hilt of the sword rotated rapidly.
Hu Man'er raised the mountain kui in his hand and slashed down with a sword. The snake demon didn't have time to dodge, so he had to transform into a giant python and take Hu Man'er's sword hard.
Sure enough, as Uncle Orion said, this snake demon scale armor was extremely hard, and this sword did not cause much damage to it.
But today's Hu Man'er is not beyond the reach of ordinary people. This sword snake demon was in pain, and it couldn't stop rolling on the ground.
It was this sword that seemed to inspire the snake demon's anger.
I saw the snake demon's tail sweeping over, Hu Man'er raised his sword to block, but he didn't expect that the snake demon's strength was so great, and he directly slapped Hu Man'er upside down and flew out, and the whole person hit the temple wall, knocking the temple wall out of a big hole.
And the snake demon didn't give Hu Man'er a chance to breathe, his huge body circled, opened his bloody mouth, and bit off his head.
Hu Man'er knew that if he was bitten by this bite, he would definitely become the food for the snake demon's stomach.
Busy drawing the true qi in the body to the feet, and disappeared in place in an instant.
The snake demon bit the air and was ferocious. Twisting his huge head and looking around for Hu Man'er.
At this time, Hu Man'er was standing on a big tree in the courtyard. The blow just now caused a trace of blood to flow from Hu Man'er's mouth.
The snake demon soon spotted Hu Man'er, twisting his huge body and swirling towards the top of the tree. The huge snake's mouth opened again, trying to swallow Hu Man'er into its belly.
How could Hu Man'er give it a chance. With a hard kick under his feet, the whole person jumped into the air, holding Shan Kui with both hands, and the tip of the sword stabbed down fiercely, accompanied by the sound of breaking the air at great speed, the tip of Shan Kui's sword was fiercely inserted into the eyes of the snake demon, bursting out with a stream of fishy blood and black juice.
The snake demon was in great pain, rolling his huge body, trying to throw Hu Man'er off.
Hu Man'er held the hilt of the sword tightly, stabilized his body slightly, freed his left hand, gathered the true qi in his body on his left hand, and then smashed it on the forehead of the snake demon.
This time it hit the snake demon solidly. The snake demon's huge head was smashed to the ground, and the earth trembled.
The snake demon who fell to the ground did not move, and Hu Man'er pulled Shan Kui out of the snake demon's eyeballs with great difficulty, and rubbed his chest. It hurts a little, and he kicks the huge snake head in resentment. Then he turned and walked towards the temple, wanting to see if the girl was frightened.
Seeing that the woman was still in that calm appearance, Hu Man'er knew that she was too careful. turned around and wanted to dispose of the snake demon's corpse, but at the moment of turning around, a huge snake head with only one eye left was biting towards Hu Man'er.
Hu Man'er raised his head and tilted his head, and the huge teeth in the snake's mouth were fiercely inserted into Hu Man'er's shoulders and arms.
Hu Man'er was so pained that he knelt on the ground. The white-clothed woman behind her finally had a change on her face at this time, and the corners of her eyes seemed to tremble. There was some surprise in his eyes.
Then he raised his eyes and stared at the snake demon, and at this time, the snake demon's only remaining eye also looked at the woman, just a momentary intersection of eyes.
The snake demon's entire body shook violently for a while. It's like seeing something more terrible than death. In a panic, he opened his mouth and bit Hu Man'er's mouth, and quickly retreated.
Hu Man'er would not give it a chance, endured the injury, held Shankui with both hands, and slashed it out with all his strength. The radiant mountain kui hummed out a fierce sword qi and flew to the head of the snake demon. Time seemed to stand still, and the sword qi penetrated the snake demon's neck, cutting off the snake demon's head alive.
The snake demon rolled a few times, and there was no longer any life.
Hu Man'er fell to his knees with a puff. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Fortunately, he still held the mountain kui in his hand, supporting his body, so as not to fall to the ground.
The woman behind her slowly stood up and paced in front of Hu Man'er. The first time I spoke, my voice was pleasant and crisp.
"It's clear that you can avoid it, why don't you hide?"
Hu Man'er grinned, shook his head slightly, and replied.
"You saved my life, I will protect you. ”
After speaking, he fell into the woman's arms, unconscious.
The corners of the woman's mouth twitched slightly, and she spoke again and said in a very small voice: "My name is Liu Fusang." ”
