"It's been three days in a row, and I don't know where Xianmi has gone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I don't know if I will encounter danger on such a hot day, and it will be dangerous for a girl to meet bad people outside alone......" Li Xiaoming walked to the side of the bed and looked at the already dark sky outside the window. Even if it's cloudy, the town today is surrounded by a heat wave, and the sky is dark from the morning giving the illusion that it's going to rain, but in reality not a drop of water will fall at all.

"I don't think that a guy who can eat a stone of rice in a meal can meet any bad guys, and even if he does, the bad guys are in danger. Hu Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, shirtless, holding a pu fan and fanning it constantly. He can only be so leisurely when the stinky girl is not there, otherwise he usually doesn't even dare to take off his clothes when he takes a nap, and it is also very troublesome to take a bath, and he has to close the door when he goes to the thatched house. Alas...... Anyway, it's a hassle for that girl to do anything here. Women, just trouble.

"Master, I really have to say that you have gone too far in this matter. Although Xianmi eats more, this is not a mistake, if you want to take the opportunity to get rid of her because of this dislike her, then it is really what an unjust person should do. ”

Sensing the dissatisfaction in Li Xiaoming's words, Hu Xiao drooped his eyelids, glanced at him, then closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You stinky boy, dare to teach a lesson." It's not a big mistake to eat too much...... Don't you see that feeding her for the teacher is a problem at all?"

Li Xiaoming didn't answer, he didn't know that Hu Xiao didn't have any income recently, and their eating had long been a problem, but he just couldn't let go of Xianmi in his heart, and felt that she was homeless and pitiful. But if you go and get her back, how to solve her meal has become a real problem. He was a little depressed, so he had to move the bench to the window to breathe.

It was noon, but they hadn't eaten a single meal yet, and both of them were hungry and irritable. No one dared to mention the matter of eating, because their rice jars were already empty. Li Xiaoming just pondered that he would get through the hottest time at noon for a while, and go out in the afternoon to find fairy rice.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Li Xiaoming sighed, got up from the stool lazily and opened the door, only to find that the person who came was Steward Zhang of Liu Yuanwai, a well-known local wealthy family. He suddenly became interested, and hurriedly went to wake up Hu Xiao, who was about to fall asleep.

Hu Xiao rubbed his eyes, looked at Steward Zhang, who was dressed well, and wondered what he was doing in his heart. He is usually most despised by these wealthy businessmen, but how could this henchman of Liu Yuanwai think of coming to him today? If he goes to the Three Treasures Hall without doing anything, he must have something to do when he comes at the hottest time of the day.

Steward Zhang looked around at Hu Xiao's residence, and then commented: "The life of the Taoist chief is really poor. ”

"It's not a Taoist, but it's just an idler. Although I don't know why Steward Zhang came to the Humble House today, he is a guest. Xiao Ming, go make a cup of tea to quench Steward Zhang's thirst. Hu Xiao plucked out his ears and commanded Li Xiaoming on the side.

Li Xiaoming's head suddenly became bigger, if he wanted to boil hot water, he could still do it, but where to find tea. He leaned into Hu Xiao's ear and complained, "Master, I don't remember that we have tea." ”

Hu Xiao gave him a color and whispered: "Go to the pond on the first floor to pull a grass and boil it, go quickly." ”

Li Xiaoming looked at him suspiciously, but he had to do as he was told.

Soon, the hot "tea" was served. Steward Zhang looked at the strangely green tea and suddenly felt very strange, so he asked: "I don't know what kind of tea Brother Hu entertained me, I can't see any tea leaves, I can't smell any tea fragrance, and this color is also very strange." ”

Hu Xiao looked at him expressionlessly, and replied: "This is the tea brewed from the fairy grass that immortal cultivators do not easily show to ordinary people in the outside world, one cup of refreshing and refreshing, two cups of longevity for ten years, and three cups of youth, is Steward Zhang sure not to drink it?"

When Steward Zhang heard this, he hurriedly covered the teacup with his hand and said with a smile: "I am lonely and unheard, so that Brother Hu can laugh." Brother Hu entertained me so sincerely, how could I not know how to lift it. The little old man has drunk a lot of precious tea, but he has never drunk the tea of this fairy grass, so he must try it this time. With that, he impatiently raised the teacup and drank it down, and then his whole face turned green.

It took a lot of effort to swallow the tea that was not delicious, and Steward Zhang raised a face as if it had been rubbed and gave Hu Xiao a big happy smile, and the folds on his face suddenly bloomed, and Hu Xiao was disgusted to see.

"The taste of this fairy grass is really not something that mortals like us can understand. I would like to thank Brother Hu here. In fact, the little old man came this time to ask for something. Here's the thing, recently there was a monster in Zhangfu, but it was amazing, and there were tragic deaths every day, which made people panic, and the lord didn't know what to do. Report to the official, the county lord sent a few government officials to keep vigil, but they all died the next day. Tsk tsk, it's really no way. I heard that you have the ability to catch monsters all over the world, so I came to ask you to go over and drive the monsters away. This is a deposit, and another hundred taels of silver will be given after the deed is completed. He pulled out a silver ingot and placed it on the table.

Hu Xiao stared at the silver ingot for a long time, and the originally lifeless person suddenly became interested, and he immediately scooped up the silver and stuffed it into the crotch of his pants (because he was not wearing a shirt at this time), and then instructed Steward Zhang: "Being entrusted by people naturally requires Zhong Ren's business." Don't worry, I'll clean up and collect that monster tonight, and return Liu's mansion to a clean one. ”

Steward Zhang saw that Hu Xiao agreed to this matter without hesitation, and immediately wanted to compliment him a few words, but he had no choice but to drink the "tea" boiled by rotten grass immediately played a role, and he turned over the river and made a fuss in his stomach, he didn't want to be rude in front of others, so he hurriedly said a few words and left in a hurry.

After Steward Zhang left, Hu Xiao took out the ingot of silver and offered it as a treasure, but Li Xiaoming on the side was very uneasy. He reminded Hu Xiao and said, "Master, isn't it bad for us to play tricks on others? That Steward Zhang drank that water just now, maybe he will have to pull his stomach for a few days." ”

"Stinky boy. What do you know! Liu Yuanwai is the richest man in this town, don't look at him living in such a small place and think that he is incompetent. Liu Yuanwai's sister is one of the concubines of today's saint, the goddaughter of Wei Gelding. Hu Xiao played with the silver, and his eyes flashed with cruelty. However, Li Xiaoming did not notice this.

"I didn't expect him to have a relationship with Wei Zhongxian. In this way, his money is not clean. Then if that's the case, why do you still want to help him, Master?"

"I really want to see the monsters that can make Liufu's chickens restless. Although I don't like that Liu Yuanwai, because that monster has sacrificed a lot of innocent lives, I have no reason to sit idly by. ”

........................................................................................................................

That night, Hu Xiao and Li Xiaoming walked into Liu's mansion neatly dressed and swaggering, wearing nothing. They accepted the hospitality from Steward Zhang and Liu Yuanwai, and then feasted and drank. After that, the two men let all the men hide, and they themselves ran to the roof.

Li Xiaoming has always followed Hu Xiao's instructions and never asked why, in his opinion, every move of the master has his reasons, and he has no reason to interfere as an apprentice. But after sitting on the roof for a few hours, seeing that it was late at night, Hu Xiao even fell asleep on the roof with his arms on his pillow, and he really couldn't figure out what they had to do with climbing on the roof to catch demons.

"Master, what are we doing here?" he asked, a little anxiously.

"Does this need to be asked? Is there any other place that is cooler than the roof on such a hot day?" replied Hu Xiao, still with his eyes closed.

Li Xiaoming still didn't give up, and continued to ask, "Then does this have anything to do with monster hunting?"

"It's a dime a deal. After all, instead of going to it with great fanfare, it's better to go to a prominent place yourself, so that it will come out and attack you when it sees you. ”

"But, Master, we don't have any weapons with us. Could it be that the master is ready to use his powerful internal force to defeat the monsters? ”

"Oh, in fact, being a teacher can only do kung fu. Then, if the youkai comes, you will be used as a decoy to attract its attention, and then the teacher will run home as fast as you can...... In the future, every year on the Qingming Festival, the teacher will remember to burn paper for you, and one person will burn two servings for you. ”

"Master!" Li Xiaoming finally couldn't help but protest loudly, but before he could say anything more, he was suddenly grabbed by a black unknown object that was rapidly passing by.

"Hey, hey, meow!" A girl with cat ears and a long tail hugged Li Xiaoming like an octopus, her bright eyes kept staring at his face that had already been distorted by fear, and even stretched out her tongue to lick his face.

"Master!" Li Xiaoming was so frightened that he almost fainted, and his whole body froze there, letting out a miserable scream.

It wasn't until the monster appeared that Hu Xiao got up lazily, and then carefully looked at the cat-eared girl and Li Xiaoming, and said with a smile: "Stinky boy, the peach blossoms are lucky." ”

"Meow!" the girl screamed again, then stretched out her slimy tongue again and licked Li Xiaoming's face. Her eyes were staring at Hu Xiao like a cat's eye, ready to go to war.

"Xiao Ming, you must keep your mouth shut. If you let this guy stick his tongue into your mouth, then you will be sucked into dried sweet potatoes in less than a second, and Master will not be able to save you at that time. Hu Xiao instructed Li Xiaoming to pay attention to safety, while taking out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and then unscrewed the lid and threw it towards the cat demon.

The red powder, which spreads rapidly in the air, is chili powder. Li Xiaoming quickly covered his mouth and nose, keeping in mind Hu Xiao's advice. As soon as the chili powder was sprinkled, the cat demon couldn't care about Li Xiaoming, and hurriedly jumped away from him and hurriedly dodged the chili powder. And Hu Xiao's move obviously angered her. She howled angrily, her sharp canine teeth especially clear in the moonlight.

This commotion led all the people of the Liu Mansion out, and everyone shouted "cat demon" after seeing the cat demon, and at the same time hid far away, ready to see how Hu Xiao and they subdued this monster.

Hu Xiao didn't hesitate, he immediately jumped off the roof, then snatched a dog-beating stick from the subordinate, and then rushed towards the cat demon.

The cat demon stretched out its sharp claws, and a paw print more than ten times larger than its claw was reflected in the air, supporting every stick that Hu Xiao had hit. Because it is a demon, it has demonic power that ordinary people can't reach, so even if Hu Xiao's stick hits the key point, it can be blocked by it. Li Xiaoming was in a hurry, but because he didn't know martial arts at all, he couldn't help Hu Xiao. Just when Hu Xiao and the cat demon were fighting fiercely, a black object crossed the night sky - another cat demon. What Hu Xiao and Li Xiaoming didn't expect was that there was another cat demon hiding in the dark. Judging by the body shape, this cat demon is a male. Taking advantage of Hu Xiao's inattention, he attacked from behind and scratched a hole about half a meter long on Hu Xiao's back. This claw can be described as vicious, even fatal, Hu Xiao was so painful that he couldn't resist it, and almost fell off the roof.

"Master!" Li Xiaoming was furious, picked up a tile from under his feet and smashed it towards the cat demon, but was choked by the male demon and couldn't move. He struggled to open his teeth and claws, but he was just like a lamb in the mouth of a tiger and wolf, and he didn't have the strength to fight back. On the other side, Hu Xiao leaned over and gasped for breath, his lips were no longer bloody, and the banshee unceremoniously gave him a claw and knocked him off the roof. The people who were originally onlookers below saw that Hu Xiao and Li Xiaoming were beaten like this by the cat demon, and hurriedly scattered. Everyone felt that the cat demon would definitely kill if he was provoked tonight, so they rushed to escape. That's when the unexpected happened. Another unknown object appeared in the night sky, and she hugged Hu Xiao, who fell to the ground, and then punched the male demon on the roof. This punch just turned into a beam of purple light and hit the banshee, who couldn't resist it, and spat blood from his mouth and fell off the roof. Everyone was stunned for a moment, what kind of monster was this newcomer or the helper they had invited? Seeing the appearance of a strong enemy, the banshee didn't care about anything else, so she took Li Xiaoming as a hostage and disappeared in an instant.

The banshee fell firmly to the ground, grinning in pain. However, Xianmi didn't intend to let him go, she walked over by herself, stepped on his chest with one foot, and her right hand gathered qi into a blade and pierced his chest directly. The banshee struggled a few times before dying in agony, his body turning into a black cat.

Hu Xiao coughed a few times, and the wound on his back was so painful that he was about to scold his mother, but he still held on in front of everyone. He didn't know why Xianmi, who had been away for a long time, appeared at this time. Moreover, this unremarkable girl has just killed a cat demon without much effort. It's incredible. The eyes of the big guys were focused on Xianmi, and they breathed a sigh of relief on the premise that she was sure that she was here to kill the demon. Xian Mi turned around and gave Hu Xiao a big white eye, then turned around and left as if he didn't know him.

Is this girl having a temper? Hu Xiao was a little confused, he endured the pain and got up from the ground and chased after her.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Stinky girl, it's a lot better to not see your legs and feet for a few days, but you have to consider the feelings of the wounded after all......" Hu Xiao shouted at Xianmi in front of him as he walked. He licked his chapped lips, sweat pouring out of his forehead.

"What does the life and death of the guy who tried to throw me away have anything to do with me? What I am anxious about now is to get Li Xiaoming back as soon as possible. Delay a little longer, I don't know what the cat demon will do to him......"

Hu Xiao simply stopped, sat down against a tree beside him, took a few big breaths, and said, "I'm afraid your origin is not simple." The time I spent with you wasn't long, but I could sense it somewhat. How can an ordinary girl have such an amazing amount of food and strength? If you refuse to reveal your true identity to us, how dare I stay with you for long. ”

Xianmi stopped, leaning slightly sideways, and looked at him until he had sat down. She didn't turn around, but said in a deep voice: "I will be suspected by humans, if it is really as my father said, my identity cannot be concealed at all...... I'll just tell you. I'm a lynx. She didn't dare to look back, she didn't dare to look at Hu Xiao's reaction. No matter what kind of goblin it is, it is a terrible existence for people. The reason why she concealed her identity in the first place was that she was afraid that she would be disliked once she was known. But now, I still can't hide it.

"I knew it was wrong for me to hide my identity...... I also know that in your heart at this moment, I am no different from the black cat who killed people in the house just now...... However, I really never wanted to hurt you and Xiao Ming in the slightest. I just want to stay with you. I'm afraid you'll chase me away if you know I'm a goblin. But I was so hungry that day that I lost my temper with you. However, when I heard that you went to Liu's Mansion to collect demons, I expected that you would definitely not be even, so I couldn't help but come to the rescue. I thought you were going to throw me away that day...... I don't want to save you. As she spoke, she burst into tears.

A warm palm gently caressed her head, she was stunned, and turned around to see Hu Xiao standing beside her. There was no anger on his face, but a smile. "I've never worried that a guy like you who eats a stone of rice at a meal will be a harmful goblin...... What's more, the fact that you will come to save me and Xiao Ming tonight is enough to explain everything. Silly girl, stop crying, you'll cry later, I'm hungry, I don't have anything to eat for you now. We still have to go to the cat demon to rescue Xiao Ming. ”

Xianmi suddenly burst into tears and laughed, although the man in front of him usually doesn't look very reliable, but he can always say something heart-wrenching when it is critical. Regardless of whether he really wanted to throw himself away last time, but after all, he was also at fault first, so the two sides just forgot about it peacefully.
