"Are you awake?"
Seeing that the man was awake, Li Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief, "This is Yunqiao Township, you are safe."
"Are you a doctor?" the man asked.
"Not really, but I did save you. Your friend is waiting for you outside. Do you want to talk to her?"
"Trouble."
Then Li Chuan called the woman waiting in the yard.
The woman remembered what Li Chuan said before and hesitated when entering the room.
Li Chuan said: "It will be fine in a while."
So she walked in quickly.
Li Chuan walked around the yard and stretched his body. He faintly heard the chatter and crying coming from the house. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already dusk.
After a while, the woman helped the man out of the house, knelt down, and solemnly thanked Li Chuan.
Li Chuan hurriedly helped them up and said, "Lie back quickly, don't open the wound and waste my whole afternoon's efforts."
The two of them stood up and the three of them went back to the house to talk.
During the conversation, Li Chuan knew that they were all from Qingfu Village, but it was Chunli Village that was first attacked by the demon.
This man's name is Tong Luo, he is a hunter, and he once rescued a casual cultivator. The casual cultivator said that his abilities were acceptable, but his understanding was too poor to see the true path, so they did not accept him as a disciple, but only taught him a set of archery skills and mental techniques.
He practiced hard day and night. As the casual cultivator said, it was indeed difficult to enter the immortal gate. However, he gained a lot from hunting. Even ordinary monsters could not avoid his arrows.
The reputation of the sharp archer spread like this. By hunting and working as a bodyguard for rich families' caravans, he had accumulated a lot of wealth in just a few years.
He said: "I stayed in the forest that night. I saw someone running away in the morning, so I went back to the village. I saw the snake, which probably had eaten too many people. It was rolling on the ground. After coming over for a while, many residual parts were protruding. Limbs and trunks, some recognize them and some don’t.”
Tong Luo's eyes were red, "I took the arrow and shot it, but his skin was too hard, and only one arrow penetrated the flesh. Maybe he felt the pain, so he came towards me. I wanted to wait until he got close and then shoot. His eyes, but he suddenly turned around and hit me with the snake's tail. That's how the injuries on my body came from. When I was about to follow up, I saw Er Niang, and then Er Niang and I cleaned up some soft tissue. , escaped all the way."
This woman's name was Zhuo Erniang. She and Tong Luo had known each other since they were children. After she married to Chunli Village, she devoted herself to serving her husband and being filial to her parents-in-law. They had not seen each other for three to five years.
The spotted snake demon scuttled into Chunli Village at night, eating people one by one while they were sleeping.
Zhuo Erniang escaped the disaster because she went back to her parents' home to visit relatives and didn't come back until the next day.
But unexpectedly, the snake demon went to Qingfu Village again. When she rushed back to Qingfu Village, there were no more people in Qingfu Village. Among the people she knew, only You Tongluo was still there. He took her all the way to escape, encountering many monsters along the way, and finally escaped to Yunqiao Township.
The three of them sighed.
Li Chuan looked at Zhuo Erniang, feeling a little embarrassed.
After Tongluo is settled, just spread out a quilt in the main room, Zhuo Erniang...
Zhuo Erniang saw his dilemma and said, "Don't worry, my benefactor, I have a place to go."
"Where are you going?" Li Chuan was surprised.
Zhuo Erniang said: "When I was waiting in the yard just now, someone who called herself Mrs. Liu came to talk to me. She said that her family was short of people to work, and asked me if I wanted to go. Now that Brother Tong is awake, I will go find her. .”
It is not easy to be willing to take in a foreigner at this time.
The second lady at the table asked Li Chuan for some clothes that needed to be mended. After heating up the food for them, she went to Mrs. Liu's place.
Li Chuan took out a few pills that Lao Xiaokai had left for him.
After coming down from Xuanshui Mountain, he and Lao Xiaokai had a few words of conversation. Lao Xiaokai insisted that his recipe could indeed remove evil spirits. The elder brother of the Four Gods Palace was ignorant, and he also said that he had left The medicine given to him was also excellent and had miraculous effects on demon wounds.
Li Chuan translated it as, it has a little effect, but not too much, and it will definitely not kill anyone.
He gave the pills to Tong Luo and said, "Brother Tong, take the medicine and have a good rest. Ask the doctor to come and take a look tomorrow. You can live here with peace of mind until you are well."
After comforting the good boy, Li Chuan walked to the yard, found Pang San beside the water tank, and said softly to him: "Third brother, go out in the evening to find Dabai and talk to her about today's events. Ask her to be careful and look for me if there is any unusual movement. Qingfu Village is not far from here, and if the snake demon is still alive, he might be targeting Yunqiao Township."
The other three nodded their eyes up and down to show they understood. "
After thinking for a while, he pulled down Gong Er, who was standing on the eaves practicing the golden rooster's independence, and said, "Go to Chongfu Temple and call Monk Wukong. Be careful along the way. Don't attract other people's attention. Use more techniques." Use blinders, if you can't find it or can't get in, just come back directly, safety first."
Gong Er flapped his wings, indicating that he would live up to his mission.
After doing all this, Li Chuan still felt a little flustered, so he went out again. He went to Zhang Yuanwai's house and expressed his concerns.
When Zhang Yuanwai heard this, he was very frightened and immediately went to the township chief. The township chief knew something about Xuanshui Mountain. He said that it was impossible to borrow troops from above, but it was possible to organize the neighbors and patrol and warn them. of.
So soon, they gathered thirty to fifty men and divided them into three teams to patrol around Yunqiao Township. Whenever there was any movement, they shouted loudly to warn, so that if a monster really came, everyone would run in different directions. The faster you go, the longer you can live.
When leaving the township head's house, Zhang Yuanwai invited Li Chuan to his house for a drink. Li Chuan couldn't refuse, so he sat for a while.
Zhang Yuanwai could see that he was very scared. He said: "Li Chuan, you know that I have some connections in Beijing. It was for this reason that we were able to invite Daoist Wen to eliminate the demon last time. But now Daoist Wen is not in Yunqiao Township. If a monster really comes and it’s too late to call for help, do you think I should leave for the capital to hide?”
Li Chuan thought it was difficult to say, but he remembered Zhu Qingyun's words. Since she said she should stay in Yunqiao Township, maybe it would be safer here than other places.
So he said: "In Yunqiao Township, even if a demon comes, if the neighbors watch and help each other and go to kill the demon together, there may not be a way to survive. But when going to the capital, you always have to pass through some uninhabited mountains and fields. If you encounter a demon at that time, you can There’s even no one left to ask for help.”
Zhang Yuanwai was thoughtful after listening to Li Chuan's words.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Chuan said goodbye and left.
When he returned home, he saw Monk Wukong sitting in his yard waiting for him.
