The Glass Maiden

Chapter 10 Catching the Demon (1) ()

Upon arriving at the inn, Chu Yinghong immediately began to carefully explain the division of labor.

Of course, the matter of catching the demon is entrusted to the three adults, and the children only need to be responsible for the chores like lighting the fire. Yu Sifeng had been to Lutai Mountain, and the task of looking at the map and giving directions was left to him. Zhong Minyan and a few Orion owners are responsible for the ignition and throwing of salt bags, and he is also responsible for the important task of pouring vinegar on the tengu.

"Then what about me?" Xuanji listened to her for a long time and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Chu Lei glanced at her lightly, "You just need to hide behind and watch. Don't run around."

Means she doesn't have to do anything? Xuanji's eyes shined brightly, it is rare for her father to be reasonable once and don't want her to do anything!

Seeing the little girl secretly happy, Chu Yinghong couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and said, "Of course Xuanji has something to do. You are responsible for coating these two rabbits with honey and roasting them."

She threw Xuanji two unskinned rabbits. It looked like he had just hunted, and there were still blood drops on his ears. Xuanji was startled, and finally asked the rabbit with a bitter face, "Do I even strip the skin?"

"Yes. Come on, here is for you." Chu Ying red plugged her two small ceramic bottles with a red string tied to them.

Xuanji recognized it and couldn't help wondering: "Ah, isn't this soft and crispy?"

Soft fragrant crisp is one of the self-made "medicine" of the Shaoyang School. The "sexuality" is quite fierce. As long as a small spoonful of it is put in food or tea, it can make a person who has more than ten years of cultivation power become useless. The chicken-binding power can only be restored after three days. It doesn't have any taste or color. The strange thing is that once it is added to the food and tea, it will emit a sweet fragrance, which is inviting to the appetite, so it is named soft and crisp.

Chu Yinghong smiled and said: "You, don't forget to add some ingredients when roasting the rabbit. A bottle of soft crispy is enough for a roasted hare."

Xuanji's mind flashed, and said: "Ah, it turns out that we are not eating roast rabbits! Aunt Hong, rabbits are prepared for those two monsters, right?"

Chu Yinghong nodded, "Let's use these two rabbits to lead them out, so that we can take the initiative." Seeing Xuanji, she seemed to understand, she kept nodding her head and couldn't help but "touch" her. On the head, softly said: "Why call me Aunt Hong? Your sister Linglong wants to call me Master Uncle."

Xuanji said indifferently: "Because the uncle is not as good as Aunt Hong."

She was afraid that she could not understand the thoughts of this little girl. Chu Yinghong laughed and explained the task of catching the demon carefully. Everyone went back to the room to sort things out, and set off as soon as Haishi arrived.

Lutai Mountain at night is more difficult to walk than during the day. Someone has said that it is more difficult to climb over Lutai Mountain than to climb to the sky. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are rugged rocks, steep cliffs, and you will fall off if you don't pay attention. Starting from the mountainside, there are vegetation, not much else, but many thorns to die. The sky was dark and I couldn't see clearly, and I often stepped on the blood to realize that it was a large area of ​​thorns.

Less than half an hour later, the porter who was carrying salt and vinegar in the back hurt two, and had no choice but to give up two bags of salt and a bucket of vinegar.

By the way, Zhong Minyan saw Xuanji walking out of breath, as if he was about to turn down, and couldn't help saying: "Hey, are you really capable of a little inner strength? It's so tired!"

Xuanji shook her head, not knowing whether to admit or deny. She seemed too tired to say anything.

"Wait! Don't go there!" Zhong Minyan saw her crookedly leaning against a large area of ​​thorns, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her, "Let you not learn things! Physical strength is worse than ordinary people!"

She looked up a little dazedly. At that time, the moon's "color" was dim, and her face looked fuzzy, as if covered with a thick layer of yarn. There are only two eyes, clear like autumn water, incredibly bright, and the mist inside, seemingly obvious, not like the usual Chu Xuanji.

Zhong Minyan was taken aback, suddenly stretched out his hand and gently "touched" on her forehead, changed "color" and said, "You have a fever!"

Xuanji also "touched" "touched" his forehead, and said softly: "I...I just feel tired... I can't breathe... Is it a fever?"

Zhong Minyan remembered her wet appearance. Everyone is a cultivator, and their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, so no one cares about this. But Xuanji was different. She was a half-hearted cultivator, and she was afraid that she could not even memorize the complete mind. The clothes were wet and dragged for a long time before changing. No wonder she would catch cold and fever.

"You can't do this!" He said anxiously, "Let's go back! Catching monsters is not a child's play. You are so weak, what if you get hurt?"

Xuanji didn't speak.

Someone in front of him was attracted by his yelling. Chu Yinghong saw that Xuanji's face was different, so she immediately raised her hand and "touched" her forehead—"The girl is sick! Head, it's better to send her back. "She said worriedly.

Chu Lei looked up at the peak of the mountain, and asked, "About how long will it take to walk?"

The head Wang Lie said: "Come on, over this slope, there is a big pond in front of it."

He sighed and looked back at Xuanji, his eyes filled with blame and love. The evil result of this little girl's laziness and non-practice has finally come out, dragging everyone down at this critical juncture. It would be difficult to send someone to send her back. Wan encountered a monster along the way, there is only one dead end.

He whispered: "Xuanji, hold on. It will be here soon."

She nodded, and insisted on walking two steps forward. Suddenly Zhong Min said anxiously from behind: "Don't go there!"

As soon as she stayed, she felt a sharp pain in her feet-she stepped on the ground thorns!

Suddenly, her shoulder was suddenly pulled, and her whole body was taken back several steps with a strong force, the wound on her foot stepped on the ground, and the pain made her scream.

"Take off your shoes." Chu Lei frowned while holding her little daughter.

Xuanji's face was bitter, she was really possessed by the mold star today, why did all the molds come to her? She grinned and threw off her shoes, Yiyan tilted her feet up, and everyone saw the blood and flesh on the soles of her snow-white feet. She didn't know how many holes had been pierced, and it hurt for her.

"Head, let me take a look." Chu Yinghong walked over, looked at her wound carefully with the firelight, and then pulled out a slender tweezers from the cowhide bag behind her waist, and said softly: "Don't be afraid , I will help you pick out the thorns first."

Xuanji could only nod her head. She felt embarrassed herself. Daddy was right. She didn't know anything. What she was best at was dragging her back.

Looking back at Zhong Minyan and Yu Sifeng both standing behind and looking at herself, she whispered: "I'm sorry...I always trouble you."

Zhong Minyan snorted, and because of Chu Lei, he could only mutter in a low voice: "You also know that you are a trouble..."

Chu Yinghong picked out the thorns for her, put some "medicine" on her, wrapped her feet tightly with her handkerchief, and said: "Xuanji is afraid that she can't walk anymore, so she has to find someone to carry her."

Chu Lei said: "Let me come."

She shook her head: "No. The three of us can't carry her. The demon will come out at any time. We must not be distracted."

As she said, she turned her head and waved to Zhong Minyan: "Minyan, come and carry your junior sister. When you get to the pond, you must watch your surroundings. I am afraid that the **** smell will cause them to attack suddenly."

Zhong Minyan didn’t want a hundred people in his stomach, but Uncle Master’s words were difficult for him to refute. He could only come over and gently lift Xuanji on his back, while whispering in a low voice, “It’s really a burden. How great!"

Xuanji had a fever and was injured again, and she would feel weak and leaned against his back softly. Hearing him complaining, she couldn't help but whispered: "It's my fault... Next time, I will stay in the inn and won't come out."

Zhong Minyan has always had a temperament that is soft but not hard. Listening to her saying that, the grievances in his stomach can't come out, so he can only whisper: "There will be another next time! I won't take you out in the future."

Xuanji was silent.

She quietly leaned on Zhong Minyan's back, and as he moved gently up and down, she suddenly thought of many things.

She has never liked to practice, too lazy to practice martial arts, too lazy to meditate in the vest method, which feels very silly. She also always thought that she could stay in Shaoyang Peak forever without leaving home and not seeing the wind and waves outside. But she never thought that one day, she would leave the shelter of Shaoyangfeng and the care of her parents just like this one day.

She just found out that after leaving everything she relied on for survival, she didn't know anything, didn't understand anything, it was really a troublesome burden. Everyone can say big things, and she used to be able to speak up and say that she can protect herself by herself. What about now? Can she really protect herself?

Alas... She sighed in her heart.

What should we do to be lazy and protect ourselves?

This is a serious question. She thought about it seriously for a long time but couldn't find the answer.

Looking up at a bright moon in the sky, Xuanji felt "confused" for the first time. Everyone has their own pursuits. Daddy wants to cultivate to become an immortal, Linglong wants to dominate Shaoyang, Zhong Minyan wants his father's approval... What about her? What does she want?

she does not know.
