Chapter 63 The Archer
“Are you awake?”
Seeing that the man was awake, Li Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief, “This is Yunqiao Township, you are safe.”< br>
“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.
Remembering what Li Chuan said before, the woman 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 tear the wound and waste my whole afternoon's efforts."
The two stood up and the three of them stood up. People go back to the house to talk.
During the conversation, Li Chuan knew that they were all from Qingfu Village, but the first one to be attacked by the demon was Chunli Village.
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 difficult to enter the immortal gate. However, he gained a lot from hunting. Even ordinary monsters could not avoid his arrows.
The fame of the 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 lived in the forest that night. I saw someone running away in the morning, so I returned to the village. I saw the snake. It probably had eaten too many people. It was rolling on the ground. Come over for a while. , and spit out many stumps and trunks, some recognized and some unrecognizable."
Tong Luo's eyes were red, "I took the arrow and shot it, but his skin was too hard, so I could only shoot with one arrow. It entered the flesh, maybe because he felt the pain, he moved toward me. I wanted to wait for him to get closer and shoot him in the eyes, but he suddenly turned around and hit me with his snake tail. That's how the injuries on my body came from Yes, when I was about to follow, I saw Er Niang, and then Er Niang and I packed up some belongings and ran away.”
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.
As a spotted snake demon, it scurried into Chunli Village at night, eating people one by one while they were sleeping.
Zhuo Erniang escaped the disaster because she went 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 Since Tong Luo was still there, he took her all the way to escape, meeting 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 Tong Luo is settled, just spread 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."
< br>
“Where are you going?” Li Chuan was surprised.
Zhuo Erniang said: "While 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 Brother Tong is awake. , I will go find her.”
It is not easy to be willing to take in a foreigner at this time.
Zhuo Erniang 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 had never seen it before. He knew the goods and said that the medicine he left for him was also excellent and had miraculous effects on demonic injuries.
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, have a good rest, and ask the doctor to come and take a look tomorrow. You can live here with peace of mind until you feel better."
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 anything unusual. Qingfu Village is not far from here. If the snake demon is still alive, he might be targeting Yunqiao Township."
Pang San nodded up and down. Eyes indicate understanding. "
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 here. Be careful along the way. Don't attract other people's attention, use more blinding tactics. If you can't find it or can't get in, just come back. Safety first. ”
Gonger flapped his wings to show that he will 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 he could organize the neighbors. , patrol warning is still OK.
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 there was a monster coming, If you run faster in different directions, you can live longer.
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, and he said: "Li Chuan, do you think I should leave for the capital to hide for a while?"
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 to go to the capital, you have to pass through some uninhabited mountains and fields. At that time I encountered a demon, but there is no one left to ask for help.”
After listening to Li Chuan’s words, Zhang Yuanwai was thoughtful.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Chuan said goodbye and left.
When I returned home, I saw Monk Wukong sitting in his yard waiting for him.
