Chapter 332: Nine-Tailed Fowl
This is a very ordinary house, with two rooms on each side of the living room, and behind the living room, there is also a tow room. At the edge of the wall of the tow house is a staircase leading to the second floor. In addition, next to the door of the towhouse, there is a door to the backyard. The backyard was small, with a well, a very rudimentary kitchen, and some dusty wooden basins in the kitchen.
After a casual look on the first floor for a while, Li Ge took the oil candle and walked up the stairs to the second floor with Hanyan.
The second floor is similar to the first floor, and it is also a small hall, with doors to the three rooms standing on each side of the small hall. Like the first floor, the ground above the second floor is covered with a thick layer of dust. From this point of view, no one has stepped into this house for at least more than a year.
After a thorough inspection of the dwelling, Li Ge found a few oil candles in a small cabinet in the house, and then discussed it with Hanyan, and decided to live on the second floor at night. Then the two went downstairs to the backyard, filled some water with a wooden basin, and began a simple cleaning. After cleaning, the two of them had a brief conversation and then went back to their rooms to rest.
After Li Ge returned to the room, he stood in front of the window of the room on the second floor, looked at the night outside, and after a long time, he moved back to the bed, sat cross-legged, breathing and sitting.
In the middle of this breath, time passed quietly, and I don't know how long it took, a baby's cry suddenly came into Lige's ears. When he heard this, he quickly regained his senses, got up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked out of the dark room.
"Senior Brother Li, are you awake?" Just as Li Ge had just moved to the window, there was a sound of smoke coming from outside the door, and it was obvious that she had also heard the cry of the baby.
Hearing the sound of smoking, Li Ge went straight to the door of the room, opened the door, and welcomed the former into the room.
"Did Senior Sister Hanyan also hear the baby's cry?"
"Hmm. Hanyan nodded when he heard this, and then walked to the window with Li Ge, hesitated for a while, and then said, "There is no one in this town, and the sound of Shicai must be made by an evil thing, and listening to the sound of the evil thing, it seems that it is still a little far away from us." ”
"Hmm. Li Ge replied softly, and did not say much, but stood in front of the window with Hanyan, quietly watching the movement outside the house.
After a few more moments, the sound of a baby crying could be heard outside the house. At this time, this voice was much closer to the house where Li Ge and the two were located.
"Senior Sister Hanyan, could this evil thing be a ghost who resents the baby? After the second baby's cry sounded, Li Ge asked the cigarette beside him softly.
"Judging by the sound that came, it was indeed very similar. After answering with a cigarette, Li Ge continued to look at the situation outside the house.
At this time, outside the window, the moonlight was unusually dim, and the visibility was extremely low. By the dim light, the two of them could see a layer of dense and low grass about half a foot high growing in front of the house outside the window, and among the grass plants, the strange tree that had attracted the attention of Li Ge and the others stood alone. As far as the light can see, you can barely see the road in the middle of the town.
Looking at such a scene outside the house, the two of them just watched silently. And from time to time the cry of the evil creature would be heard, and judging from the place where the sound came from, the evil creature was always moving.
Although the evil creature was moving, it did not approach the house where Li Ge and the others were, so they only stood quietly in front of the window, and did not move.
When the eleventh cry of a baby sounded in the silent town, the faces of Li Ge and Hanyan both showed a hint of vigilance to varying degrees. It was only because the place where the eleventh voice sounded was very close to the dwelling where they were.
After the voice sounded, Li Ge looked at the smoke beside him through the dim moonlight, nodded lightly at it, made a reassuring gesture, and then did not speak, but continued to look out of the house shrouded in night.
The eleventh strange sound sounded, and only a few moments later, an animal that Li Ge had never seen before stepped on the grass half a foot deep appeared in his eyes.
The moment he saw the animal, Li Ge showed a trace of doubt on his face, but looking at the smoke, the vigilance on his face quickly disappeared.
"Wow~" When the animal appeared in front of Li Ge and the others, it let out a baby's cry.
After this voice sounded, the puzzle on Li Ge's face became even stronger, and at the same time, his mind quickly recalled his cognition of this strange animal, and after a while, the puzzled look on his face quickly subsided, and he exhaled lightly with a little surprise, as if he knew what the animal outside the house was.
The animal that appeared in the eyes of the two was the size of a wolfdog, and its whole body was covered in a layer of snow-white and fluffy fluffy hair. The animal had the same appearance as a fox, except that on its tail, it had nine long tails.
"It's a nine-tailed bird. After staring at the snow-white nine-tailed fox for a while, he whispered with a cigarette.
"yes. With a smoky answer, Li Ge recalled in his mind the account of the nine-tailed fox in front of him.
As for the cognition of this nine-tailed fox, when he was in the world, he learned something from some books. According to the book, the mountain of Qingqiu, there are beasts, its shape is like a fox and nine tails, its voice is like a baby, it can eat people, and the eater is not Gu.
And in Penglai, the record of this nine-tailed fox is also like this, but the call is different. Just like the one called in the mouth of the cigarette, Penglai calls this thing a nine-tailed bird.
Knowing that the thing that found the strange sound was not a ghost, but a nine-tailed bird, Li Ge and Hanyan quietly exchanged two sentences, and then continued to look at the movement of the nine-tailed bird.
After the nine-tailed bird appeared in the eyes of the two, it shook its head and looked around, and then the snow-white figure moved, and directly jumped onto the strangely shaped tree in front of the house.
Climbing up the tree, the nine-tailed bird let out a 'wow~' cry, and then lay down on a branch nearby.
Seeing the nine-tailed bird's actions, Li Ge and Hanyan didn't pay much attention to it, but after looking at it for a while, Hanyan turned around and left Li Ge's room.
After sending away Hanyan, Li Ge closed the door and walked to the window, wanting to look at the nine-tailed bird, but when he looked at it, he found that the strange beast was no longer on the branch.
"Is this leaving?" Sweeping away, he didn't find the figure of the nine-tailed bird, Li Ge spat out a light sentence in a rather helpless tone, and just as he was about to turn back to the bed to continue meditating, a pair of eyes that shone dimly red and were not too conspicuous on the side of the road behind the strange tree outside the house attracted his attention.
