Lying on a bed with a door panel, Li Wanxiao took out the small pendant given by Yin Xiaoran in her pocket.

This piece of jadeite is warm and delicate to the touch, and the smooth surface is carved with an animal pattern that I don't know what it is, which looks like a totem in an ancient book, which is very mysterious.

In fact, when they parted that day, Yin Xiaoran said a word to her, asking her to be careful of the people around her. But five or six days have passed now, and she has secretly observed Dugu Che and Bai Shasha, and she doesn't think that they are abnormal. Dugu Che has an iceberg face every day, except for her who can listen to what she says, everyone else ignores it, and Bai Shasha is also as always, sticking to Dugu Che when she takes a moment, if that ambiguous little expression is seen by outsiders, they will definitely suspect that there is that kind of relationship between them.

But in fact, no!

Bai Shasha was just wishful thinking, and Dugu Che didn't take her seriously at all.

On the other side, Yin Xiaoran and Mo Yang also left the village, but he felt guilty and planned to come back every year in the future. Of course, he mainly wanted to see how the villagers' crops were growing, whether there was a drought, and if so, he would find a way to secretly use mana to bring rain to help alleviate the drought.

Both groups of people had their own things to do, so they didn't stay long. After leaving the village, she led Dugu Che and Bai Shasha all the way north. may be the reason for the pendant given by Yin Xiaoran, she didn't feel the heavier and heavier demonic energy, but Bai Shasha became very excited, saying that it was in vain to be able to open her eyes at the junction of humans and demons.

After a day's journey, it was easy to find a dilapidated small temple. At this time, Li Wanxiao was physically and mentally exhausted, and she was not in the mood to think about those messes, and when she saw Dugu Che make the bed, she fell headlong, until he woke up to eat, and then lazily took the dry food and nibbled on two bites.

"I said, why are you so tired?" Bai Shasha rolled her eyes in disgust, "With your weak appearance, I'm afraid you haven't reached the junction of humans and demons, and you're tired to death!"

What I said was poisonous, but I couldn't refute it from Wanxiao! Bai Shasha was indeed right, they were lucky along the way, and they didn't encounter extremely vicious monsters, so they were not in danger. She can also feel that the closer she gets to the border, the more deserted it becomes, and it is really hard to say how to go in the future!

The three of them slept in a small dilapidated temple, and Dugu Che dismantled the door panel and put it on the ground, spread hay and clothes, and used it as a bed for Li Wanxiao. Bai Shasha stood at the door awkwardly and watched for a long time, but Dugu Che ignored her at all, so she could only find a sheltered corner to rest.

Looking at Dugu Che, who was busy, Wanxiao felt at home for the first time. In the past, Master took care of her in the same way, and every time she came home tired of playing, she didn't even bother to take off her clothes, and she fell asleep! Master would help her slippers and take off her coat, make the bed and send it to the bed.

Thinking like this, Li Wanxiao couldn't help but chuckle: "Dugu Che, you are becoming more and more like my master." ”

Dugu Che glanced at her, his expression seemed a little speechless.

"I was an orphan, but I was spoiled by my adopted master. It wasn't until I lost everything that I slowly learned to grow up, and then I met you again, and a lot of things happened. It was only during that time that I began to change myself and knew that I had to take care of and care for others. She has never said these words to anyone, maybe in her heart, only Dugu Che is the most special one!

After speaking, he took out a thick cotton coat from the package next to him and handed it to him, which was given by Xing'er Niang. The old man wants to thank his benefactor, but he doesn't have anything to do, the cotton clothes are still made for Xing'er's father, but unfortunately his wife passed away before he had time to wear it.

"It's cold at night, so put on some of it. ”

Taking the cotton clothes, Dugu Che looked deeply at the girl in front of him who was so strong that it made people feel distressed. He didn't know how she had come out of a village full of dead people, or what a happy home she had had, or how lonely she felt when she was wounded.

Wrapping himself tightly on the bed, he said softly with a smile: "You're tired all day, don't keep vigil, go to bed early." ”

Dugu Che nodded slightly.

The night was quiet, and both girls slept deeply. He put out the fire and leaned against the door alone, even if Li Wanxiao felt sorry for him and wanted him to rest, he would not let himself really fall asleep. In this barren and remote place, there are no people at all, and the safety of the two girls depends on him alone.

"Squeak!squeak!!"

The slight sound was particularly clear in the silent night, Dugu Che opened his eyes, and a black shadow flashed quickly in the distance, and a few jumps flew into the grass.

There was an oppressive smell in the air......

The slender fingers pinched the two small stones beside him and held them in the palm of his hand, Dugu Che got up and walked in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.

To avoid startling the snake, he hung far behind the dark shadow and watched the thing jump from bush to bush. After following for a while, he felt that the temperature around him seemed to be slowly dropping, and when he came out, he didn't wear the cotton clothes that Liwan Xiao gave, although he didn't feel cold at this time, he also noticed a trace of the same. The black shadow had been jumping around not far away, and the distance between the two had always remained at about five meters.

Unconsciously, he had chased out a distance, he wanted to find out the true face of the black shadow, if there was danger, he could solve it in advance, but he felt that something was not quite right in his heart, and he didn't dare to go too far from the small temple. In case it is the other party's transfer to leave the mountain, then they will be in trouble if they laugh.

So he slowed down until he finally gave up, and just stood straight in place, the black shadow not far away still beating there. Dugu Che suddenly chuckled in his heart, it's bad!

Ignoring the shadow, he turned and ran back. He ran all the way, but he couldn't find the location of the small temple, his sense of direction would not be wrong, not to mention that he didn't chase very far, logically speaking, he shouldn't have run for so long and still can't see the fire.

Could it be that you fell for some kind of monster's spell?

Dugu Che was already lost in the woods, but Li Wanxiao snuggled up with Bai Shasha, coldly looking at the large number of thugs pouring in from outside.

"Who are you?" shouted Bai Shasha boldly.

A bald middle-aged man in tattered clothes walked up from behind everyone, looked the two of them up and down a few times, and showed an evil smile: "Don't be afraid, two girls, you have to pay the toll when you get to my territory, if you don't have money, just leave it for Uncle Ben to be the wife of the village!"

Liwan smiled and was stunned, they were wearing old clothes from the villagers when they left, where did this bald man see that they were rich?

"Hmph, I want to rob money, no! rob sex, let alone not!" The words were hard, but Li Wanxiao's heart was completely bottomless, because she had just found out when this group of people broke in that Dugu Che, who was supposed to rest with them, was gone!

Where did he run away at this critical moment?

"Don't give me this set!" The bald man picked up the machete, the blade of which was curved, and I saw him rub the back of the knife on his bare head, and when he was done, he blew the blade, hung his eyelids, and snorted, "Don't say that, girl, I think you have both." ”

"Say, do you want Lao Tzu to rob money, or lust?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding gangsters showed their hues one after another, and some even rolled up their sleeves to wipe their saliva.

A group of people slowly narrowed the encirclement and forced the two of them into a corner.
