Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 4
"Woo, woo."

A woman's weeping came from the cave.

When Li Xiuyuan walked into the cave, he saw a woman with ragged clothes, disheveled hair, and a terrified expression curled up in a corner of the cave, crying continuously. I thought it was a ghost in the mountains.

"Is it Widow Du?" He asked in a low voice.

Widow Du stopped crying when she heard the voice, and suddenly raised her head, seeing a tall, handsome young man walking in, she was very pleasantly surprised: "Big, young master, it's me, it's me."

"It's fine, I'll take you back right away." Li Xiuyuan said.

Widow Du nodded excitedly, trying to struggle to stand up, but found that her hands and feet were trapped by the old vines in the mountain, tightly entangled, and she staggered and fell to the ground as soon as she got up.

Li Xiuyuan just wanted to help, but he felt a strange cry from behind, like a human or a beast.

"Mandrill?"

He turned around abruptly, only to see an extremely ugly monkey with black fluff all over its body, about the height of a seven or eight-year-old child, looking at him with its teeth bared and a strange smile.

Although the mandrill is not big in size, it has amazing strength. It actually lifted a huge stone the size of a millstone, and made a gesture to throw it at Li Xiuyuan.

The cave is not big, and it would be dangerous if the stone fell down.

"Good bastard, look at the gun." Li Xiuyuan shouted, and threw the golden gun in his hand without hesitation.

He has practiced martial arts for many years, and his strength is astonishing. This big gun weighing 72 jins is enough to shoot a tiger when it flies out. Old man, how can this mandrill be able to resist it? .

"Squeak~!" Mandrill saw Li Xiuyuan raising his gun to shoot, with a humanized look of surprise on his face, and slowly dropped the boulder he lifted in his hand, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

The big gun roared towards the mandrill, piercing past the mandrill, sinking nearly half a foot into the ground before stopping.

"What a thief, Widow Du, wait here for a while, I'll kill this beast." Li Xiuyuan strode out of the cave.

"Young master, be careful." Although Widow Du was afraid, she was also worried about Li Xiuyuan's safety.

Can you not worry, the young master is the son of the richest man in Guobei County, and all the villagers in Xiahe Village are farm laborers of the Li family. If there is something wrong with the young master, dozens of families in Xiahe Village will not be able to live in Guobei County. After going down, the villagers of Xiahe Village all understood this, and over time they took special care of Li Xiuyuan.

After Li Xiuyuan rushed out of the cave, he immediately pulled out the golden gun that was on the ground, and his gaze was fixed, scanning the surrounding mountains and forests.

"The bastard escaped?"

If the mandrill had escaped, it would be difficult to find it again. Although the forest here is not big, there are also vaguely nearby ones. Even if hundreds of people search for a fertile beast trying to hide, it will be difficult to find it.

After waiting for a while, Li Xiuyuan still did not find the mandrill.

But he didn't dare to go far, Widow Du was still tied up in the cave, if he left, the beast came back after a circle and took Widow Du away again, wouldn't it be a waste of attention.

"Lucky you bastard, I'll send my family servants to search the mountains later, and you won't stop unless you kill me." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

This beast has already killed a human being, if I don't come today, Widow Du will also be killed by it, how can such an evil spirit stay.

But just as he turned around and was about to return to the cave, there was a movement in the nearby forest.

Li Xiuyuan stopped immediately and looked in the direction of the movement.

The grass and trees were pushed aside, and the mandrill came out again, but this mandrill was very strange, with two wooden sticks tied to its feet, which made itself half as tall as a normal person, and wore a cloth that it stole from somewhere. The woman who came was dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking like a woman, scratching her head, twisting her ugly buttocks and walking towards him.

"What is it doing?" At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was somewhat puzzled.

There was a smile on the ferocious face of the mandrill, and a pair of green eyes were like a woman's, winking at Li Xiuyuan, and kept coming closer.

Although Li Xiuyuan didn't understand the strange behavior of the mandrill, he saw that the mandrill had one hand behind its back, as if it was holding a hard rock.

"Let's talk a little closer."

Li Xiuyuan didn't move either, watching the mandrill approaching, he didn't want to startle the beast away again like before.

The mandrill came gradually, its ugly face showed a trace of excitement, but when it approached Li Xiuyuan within three steps, he who had been motionless suddenly raised the golden gun in his hand.

The gun pierced out instantly like lightning.

The simple moves have been honed by Li Xiuyuan over the years, and they have long been perfected.

"Squeak~!" The mandrill suddenly screamed in horror and was directly pierced through the chest, and blood spattered all over the ground.

"How dare you come out to seek death, you bastard." Li Xiuyuan snorted coldly, and threw away the heavy gun, nailing it to the ground together with the pierced mandrill.

The mandrill vomited blood, struggled twice, then convulsed and died on the ground.

However, out of caution against this monster, Li Xiuyuan drew out his spear and stabbed the mandrill's body several times, and he was relieved when he saw that it really didn't respond.

With a flick of the gun, the mandrill's body flew out, and he turned back to the cave.

"I've slaughtered that beast, and it's fine now." Li Xiuyuan said.

Widow Du breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Master, my hands and feet are tied up by the mandrill from the old vines, can you help me untie them?"

"No problem." Li Xiuyuan helped her untie the old vine, then stood up and said, "Go back to the village now, there are still many wild beasts in this mountain forest, it's not safe to stay here."

"Yes, young master."

Widow Du tried to stand up while clutching her tattered clothes, but she almost fell to the ground again with a cry of pain. She subconsciously supported Li Xiuyuan next to her, but the clothes in front of her couldn't help slipping off with this help. down.

Li Xiuyuan saw something that shouldn't be seen.

"do not look."

Widow Du blushed immediately, turned around hurriedly, picked up the fallen clothes and covered them in front of her body, then stammered and argued: "I, I didn't do it on purpose, it was the mandrill that captured me. I tore my clothes while I was there."

But what he said in his mouth, he was ashamed and anxious in his heart, just now he was afraid that he would be caught by the young master.

"Ahem, why did you get out of this cave like this, please put on my coat."

Li Xiuyuan took off his coat in embarrassment and threw it on Widow Du.

Widow Du blushed and glanced at Li Xiuyuan, hesitated for a moment, took the coat that was thrown over, and wrapped herself in it.

"I'm going out first." Li Xiuyuan felt a little embarrassed and walked out of the cave.

After waiting in the cave for a long time, Widow Du put on his coat, blushed, leaning on the rock wall, and limped out.

"What's wrong with your leg?"

Li Xiuyuan saw that her exposed calf was bruised, red and swollen, obviously the old vine was too tight and hurt her leg.

"Okay, it seems to be twisted." Widow Du's forehead was sweating slightly, looking a little painful.

"Looking at you like this, you can't walk anymore." Li Xiuyuan said.

Widow Du nodded, with a look of self-blame on her face again: "I'm so useless, dragging down the young master. If the young master has something to do, you should go back first. I'll walk back slowly by myself."

"What kind of words are you talking about? You're a woman in the wilderness. Wouldn't it be good to feed wild beasts here? I'm here to save people, not to kill people."

Li Xiuyuan glared at her, then walked over and squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you back."

After being drank by him, Widow Du immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. After seeing him squatting down, she hesitated for a while, and finally had to obediently lie on his back.
