[BOOK 1] Qt : Nice To Meet You

chapter 144

    After the past had been told, and the sky outside the house gradually darkened, Xia Tian said, "We've lived below for a long time, and you haven't lived in the house above, so you can rest here today." Naturally, Sheng Li had no

objection He went out and wanted to fetch some water to wash Xia Tian, ​​but before he walked out of the courtyard, he saw a child lying outside the door.

"Who are you?"

Sheng Li raised his eyebrows and looked at him. When the child looked up and saw him, he immediately trembled in fright, "Big...big, big king!"

Xia Tian heard the sound and saw that it was the little tree spirit. He remembered that he had left the other party in the mountains before, but there were too many accidents later, and in a hurry, he even forgot such a child, and he didn't know how the other party came here step by step with his broken legs and feet. at.

Feeling ashamed in his heart, he couldn't help but look softer, stepped forward and knelt down next to the little tree spirit, touched his head, and asked gently: "How did you come here? Are your legs and feet still hurting?" The little tree

spirit He shook his head ignorantly, probably because Xia Tian was beside him, he was a little more courageous, and dared to quietly raise his head to take a look at Sheng Li, but this raised his head happened to meet Sheng Li's eyes, bluffing The child managed to hold back his anger, and hurriedly shrank in Xia Tian's direction, and replied: "I have been hiding for a long time, and I couldn't hear your voice, so I followed the breath left by my wife and came slowly... After a pause, he asked again in a low voice: "Ma'am, why can the king see me again?"

Xia Tian only realized this, and he was really puzzled, so he could only turn his questioning eyes to Sheng Li.

Sheng Li thought for a moment, and said: "It's probably in the sun, so I can see the living things."

Hearing this, Xia Tian subconsciously glanced at the little tree spirit, and sure enough, he saw the little tree spirit dragging a dog under the afterglow of the setting sun. shadow.

He is the same as himself, there is no shadow in the yin house, but only in the sun, which means that he should be a living person, but if he is a living person, how can he be a tree spirit?

At this time, Sheng Li bent down slightly, hugged Xia Tian with both hands, and whispered in his ear: "Maybe he is a living soul, I remember that when I first had a living soul and separated from the body, I could also be in the sun." I saw the reflection."

"Live soul?!" Xia Tian was startled, but subconsciously lowered his voice, "Master, do you want to say that he is still alive?"

Sheng Liwei shook his head invisibly, "Not sure, Maybe."

Xia Tian asked the little tree spirit some questions again, but the other party couldn't remember where he came from, his last name, or who he was, and Sheng Li couldn't help it. What's more, although he can sleep without rest now, Xia Tian can't, so the two had to temporarily put the little tree spirit in a side room in the side courtyard, and rest for a night before making plans.

After nightfall, the two leaned together, and Xia Tian asked, "How long can we stay here?" Before Sheng Li could answer, he hastily added, "It's not that the master forced us to stay, but we could have stayed here." How long?"

Sheng Li knew that he was frightened, so he replied gently: "It's been a long time, at least I don't feel that I have to leave at all."

Xia Tian felt a little relieved now, he always felt that he and his owner were in this place The small world has been delayed for so long, wasting a lot of time in vain.

Thinking of how he was waiting in the yin house, Xia Tian also persevered hopelessly in the underworld for many years. Sheng Li felt distressed and proud. His little fox didn't have to suffer these hardships for nothing, but he survived for himself.

He was gently patting Xia Tian's back to lull him to sleep, when the person in his arms suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened and he tried to get up, "What about the bones!

" The owner's bone was recovered, but it is not known where it is now due to the change of the environment. According to what the two Taoists said, without the bones, even if the soul enters the world again, the body cannot be restored. What will Sheng Li do? ?

Seeing that he was so anxious that he wished he could get up and dig three feet into the ground to dig out the bones, Sheng Li hurriedly pushed him down and persuaded him, "Xia Xia, don't worry, I should have acted in my soul body when I thought about coming here. You see, I am now Except for body temperature and breathing, the rest is the same as ordinary people, and you can also touch other things in the world, and now you still have some skills, isn't it great?" Seeing that Sheng Li showed no reluctance, Xia Tian was really coaxed by him,

but I couldn't help but feel distressed, so I tried my best to get close to Sheng Li's with my body, trying to make him feel a little warm.

Xia Tian often did this kind of behavior when they were in the private house. Xia Tian was always afraid that Sheng Li would feel uncomfortable because of his cold hands and feet, so every time he fell asleep, he would deliberately cover his hands and feet with his limbs wide open, and only treat himself as a child. Like a stove.

Except for the fact that the little fox slept in a well-behaved ball when he first came to the small world, he was pampered by Sheng Li for a long time, and gradually opened up his defenses. He only said that he wanted to sleep with Sheng Li in his arms, but he didn't mention the fact that Sheng Li's body was cold.

Although such actions are actually useless to Sheng Li, even if he burns his hands on the fire, he can't feel the warmth at all, but Xia Tian didn't say anything, and Sheng Li never pointed it out.

This little fox of his is sometimes shrewd enough to rule the world, and sometimes so confused that he would blush even when lying to cover up, making him feel that no matter how it is placed, he can't help but feel grateful when he thinks of the catastrophe back then. Fortunately, a thunder tribulation brought his little fox here, otherwise his life would be nothing but stagnant water without waves.

It was just dawn the next day, and Xia Tian was still curled up in Sheng Li's arms, but the person who was hugging him was keenly aware of the movement outside the house.

With a thought in Sheng Li's mind, he saw his lips move slightly but did not make any sound, while the little tree spirit who ran panic-stricken outside the house was blocked by an irresistible force from the courtyard door. At the same time, Sheng Li's voice rang in his ears: "What happened?"

"Great King!" The little tree spirit looked around and couldn't see anyone, so he couldn't speak fluently. He pointed his fingers back randomly and said nervously: "When I got up in the morning and went out, I saw many people carrying hoes and shovels. Coming along the mountain road, it looks like he is going to kill someone."

Sheng Li frowned slightly in the house, and then thought that maybe the village chief died in the mourning hall, and the villagers could not find him, so he came here.

Long ago, when Xia Tian said that people in this village bought and sold living people as sacrifices, Sheng Li didn't like these people at all. He wanted to ignore them, but the little fox in his arms woke up rubbing his eyes. Li then told him this time.

Xia Tian was still in a daze at first, but he gradually became sober after hearing this. He thought for a while and said, "I really want to meet them." "What are you doing seeing them?"

Sheng Li didn't want him to cast his eyes on these people, " I set up a ghost to hit the wall to hide their eyes, so that they can search and linger in this mountain for a lifetime and never get out."

Thinking that these people once offered their little foxes as sacrifices to bloody and strange carnivorous butterflies, Sheng Li was full of heart. I don't like it, if the village chief hadn't burned a handful of black ashes in the mourning hall, he even wanted to expose his body to the wilderness, and be eaten by wild beasts to relieve his hatred.

Xia Tian raised his hand and pointed out, "You said that the little tree spirit is a living soul. When I first came, those people said that he was a child who was bought before. I think the body is still in this village, so we might as well help him find it." The body, it would be the best if it could be revived, it would be better than being in a daze every day, not even remembering who you are."

Sheng Li pondered for a moment, then nodded. For this little tree spirit, he also had a sense of gratitude and gratitude. He and Xia Tian knew very well that if the little tree spirit hadn't accidentally brought Xia Tian underground, maybe they would have missed it again this time.

"But..." Xia Tian blinked, and shook Sheng Li's finger, "Those are not good people, it's better to let them look for a while longer."

Two villagers who came out with the village chief the night before carried Hoes and shovels lead the way, and behind them are a group of villagers who are also carrying all kinds of farm tools.

After parting from the village chief the day before yesterday, the two villagers didn't think much about it, because this is a custom. After each sacrifice, each village chief would go to the house dedicated to the mountain god and report to the mountain god, praying for good weather and no troubles in the coming year. No worries about illness.

However, the village head did not come back for a whole day. They had waited patiently before, but the old man guarding the ancestral hall in the village suddenly ran to tell everyone in a panic that the reward from the mountain god enshrined in the ancestral hall—a The huge snow-white cocoon was reduced to ashes for some reason.

They followed and ran into the ancestral hall, and they saw that the white cocoon enshrined in the ancestral hall had turned into a pile of black ashes. Everyone was shocked at once, knowing that every change in the white cocoon after it was enshrined here would affect the entire mountain village. They are all tantamount to catastrophe. The long dry season and drought, and the locusts passing through the border during the harvest period, if only this is the case, what really makes them shudder is the strange disease that makes people desperate to survive. Some people left the dead man's ditch and avoided the drought locusts, but they couldn't escape the pain as if there were bugs gnawing on their bones. As long as they came out of the dead man's ditch, no one could escape unless they died.

Seeing that the village has not returned for a long time, everyone guessed that something happened to him, and thought that instead of sitting at home and waiting to die, they should find the village chief to see if there is any solution. .

"Hey, do you think you're going the wrong way?" A woman tugged on her husband's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

They had been walking on the mountain road for a long time, and they had seen the house on the mountainside before, but now it seemed to be covered by the vegetation in the mountain, and they couldn't find any trace of it.

Her husband obviously noticed this too, rolled his eyes to look around at the villagers, and whispered to her, "Keep your mouth shut and walk your way, the leader didn't speak, so why worry?

" After scolding, the woman didn't dare to speak again, so she could only follow the crowd silently.

However, it was obvious that they were not the only two who had such doubts. After walking for another ten minutes, a villager finally couldn't hold back and asked loudly: "Qiangzi! Where are we going? Why are we still circling on the mountain road after so long? "

The Qiangzi he was talking about was just a villager who came out with the village chief last night. Hearing this, Qiangzi replied in a muffled voice: "That's right, you think it's so easy to meet the mountain god?" The

villagers felt that this made sense, and were appeased, and followed for a while, a woman The exclamation sounded -

"We have hit a ghost wall!"
