Chapter 15: Wooden Signs

When Cui Xiu heard this, she was shocked, and her face immediately changed.

I can't hear anything wrong with such words.

"Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Cui Xiu quietly took a step back.

"Childe is a scholar, he is also a smart person, and he is a warm-hearted person, and the old woman does not want to have a bad relationship with the child, but unfortunately this thing is bound to be obtained by the old woman, and the son still doesn't want to make it difficult for me. ”

The old woman saw that Cui Xiu was vigilant, and she didn't talk nonsense, and directly expressed her intentions, just to let Cui Xiu hand over the short stick to her.

I don't know when there was a black wooden box in my hand.

Cui Xiu looked at the wooden box in the old woman's hand, nervous and a little puzzled at the same time, because although the old woman is a ghost, she has always behaved like she has no malice towards him.

Now he suddenly changed his face, so he couldn't react for a while.

Seeing that Cui Xiu didn't respond, the old woman may have seen his doubts, but she didn't mean to explain to him.

just said: "Childe may think that although the old woman is a ghost, she has no ability to hurt people, but the old woman has something to tell Childe, so as not to make any wrong choices." ”

Speaking of this, the old woman smiled strangely and said, "I don't know what the son thinks, how did it feel to go around in this mountain forest before?"

When Cui Xiu heard this, she didn't react at the first time, and then her heart was cold, and she already understood what the old woman meant.

I got lost in the forest before, wasn't it the influence of the short stick?

But......

"Mother-in-law said and laughed, if my mother-in-law wants this thing, I naturally won't force it, but my mother-in-law still asks me to wait until I get out of this mountain forest, and I will offer this thing with both hands. ”

Although Cui Xiu has been a little confused, because he doesn't understand the situation, he can't figure out the ins and outs of this matter, but the situation at this time doesn't allow him to think too much.

The old woman obviously had some malice towards him because of the short stick.

And he can't bet on whether it was the old woman who made him lost, if it was really the old woman's doing, he would be trapped in this place at that time, and it would be difficult to save himself even if the source power was in his hands.

Rather than being reluctant to give up the short stick, it is better to keep yourself safe first.

When the old woman heard this, she didn't speak, she looked at Cui Xiu deeply for a while, and then said quietly: "Cui Gongzi is a sincere person, and the old woman naturally won't disbelieve it, I can send Gongzi out, but I still have to bring this thing." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't respond to Cui Xiu, so he threw something directly towards Cui Xiu.

Cui Xiu subconsciously took it, and when he looked down, it was a wooden plaque the size of a half-palm.

It is engraved with strange inscriptions, and I don't know what it does.

Cui Xiu couldn't help but think of what the old woman said before.

The old woman once said that there was a Taoist who gave her a wooden card for her protection, although the truth of this statement is now open to debate, but the wooden card that the old woman refers to, if there is no accident, it should be this piece.

Xiaocao'er and her younger brother were included in this wooden card?

Although he knew that the old woman asked him to hold this wooden card, he must have no good intentions, but for his own safety, he could only hold it.

And just as he gently rubbed the wooden card in his hand, he suddenly felt a slight shock from the short stick in his right hand, which seemed to be able to suppress the wooden card...... It's just that because of its own absorption of the gray air flow in the short rod, the short rod has not made much movement, and it has quieted down again.

Feeling this change, Cui Xiu's heart moved......

......

It stands to reason that if the old woman is really as she said, she can easily influence Cui Xiu and take away the short stick directly.

But she agreed with Cui Xiu's method, which was a little strange no matter how she looked at it.

But to say that the old woman is just very introverted, and she doesn't look like it, Cui Xiu can see that when the old woman said that Cui Xiu was lost by herself before, she didn't fluctuate at all, and she looked very confident.

Such a situation made Cui Xiu dare not act rashly.

Some ridiculous honests walked out of the mountains and forests under the leadership of the old woman.

......

After walking for about half an hour, over the mountains and forests where the fog had dissipated, the Moon Rabbit had already walked most of the trajectory.

If there is more than two hours of effort, it will be dawn.

Along the way, Cui Xiu was silent, and there was no other action, just holding a short stick and a wooden card, and quietly followed the old woman.

And because he was holding two things in his hand, the long sword without a scabbard was left in the mountains and forests.

While walking, the old woman who was walking slowly, but the speed was not slow at all, finally turned around.

"Cui Gongzi, it's time to get to the place, take out the things. ”

When Cui Xiu heard this, he raised his eyes and looked ahead, and sure enough, he had reached the periphery of the mountains and forests, and the avenue was close in front of him.

"Mother-in-law, wait a minute. ”

Cui Xiu smiled at the old woman, looking very obedient.

The old woman nodded slightly, and then looked at the short stick handed over by Cui Xiu with some greed.

At the same time, Cui Xiu held a pair of illusory hands in the wooden card in his left hand, but Cui Xiu himself seemed to be unable to see it.

Just when the old woman squinted her old eyes and took out the black wooden box out of nowhere, she wanted to take the short stick in Cui Xiu's hand.

Cui Xiu suddenly withdrew his hand, and together with the short stick, he suddenly slapped on the wooden card in his left hand.

Then, as if he had just remembered something, he let the short stick with the thickness of his index finger stick to the wooden card, slapped his forehead with his right hand, and said loudly: "I almost forgot, this wooden card should also be returned to my mother-in-law." ”

His actions made the old woman's actions stiff.

The old woman's eyes also rolled stiffly, and she looked at the pair of arms stretched out from the wooden card with an ugly face, which was instantly slapped back into the wooden card.

"You ......"

"Mother-in-law, take it!"

Cui Xiu didn't seem to see the old woman's ugly face, and without waiting for the old woman to say anything, she smashed the two things in her left hand at the old woman vigorously.

When the old woman saw this, her face changed greatly, and she flew away in an instant.

Seeing this, Cui Xiu's face relaxed, and she didn't look at the old woman's somewhat hideous face.

Instead, he looked at the short stick and the wooden card that fell to the ground because the old woman drifted away, although the two were not tied together, but Cui Xiu threw it like this, and after the two landed, they were not separated, as if they were glued together, which was really weird.

But Cui Xiu was not surprised when she saw this scene, but looked like this.

"What's the matter, doesn't my mother-in-law want this short stick again?"

Cui Xiu then looked at the old woman in surprise.

Then he slowly walked over to the short stick and picked them up again.

This time, however, he didn't touch the stick with his hand, but just pinched it on the wooden card.

The old woman didn't speak this time, but just looked at Cui Xiu with some resentment and was silent for a long time.

"What's wrong with my mother-in-law? I've been here for a long time, and if my mother-in-law doesn't want it, I'll have to leave. ”

Cui Xiu said again, and his tone was a little strange.

"Cui Gongzi, you are really a little smart, the old woman is not mistaken, but unfortunately the cleverness is not in the right place, if you hand over things honestly, how good it would be, and I will save my strength and ...... old woman"

The old woman was not affected by Cui Xiu's tone this time, she only said this faintly, and the whole person seemed more and more cold.
