just a tabby cat

Chapter 19 Meow

Li Hua lay on the eaves, watching the people who were busy coming and going in and out of the small courtyard, her head shrunk in. The summer sun was a bit vicious, and it was not friendly with her fur.

"Sister." Situ Qi stood under the eaves and waved to her, "There are several carts of carbon at the door."

Li Hua nodded, "It's rare to be able to collect so much carbon this season. '

She stretched lazily and meowed at Situ Qi, "I'll sleep for a while, you can play by yourself." '

Seeing this, Situ Qi didn't bother, and ran towards the front yard.

Li Hua closed her eyes, dazedly thinking about what happened along the way, the weaker she is, the more things will come to her.

Hey, when will the ingredients for this antidote be ready?Haven't gotten one so far.

Is it possible to live like this for 300 years in this life?

After thinking about it, that's fine, at least it's comfortable, isn't it?

...

"Li Hua" Xiu Ze stood under the eaves to interrupt her wandering thoughts.

"Meow" Lihua poked her head out, 'What's the matter? '

"The things in the front yard are ready, go and have a look." Xiu Ze said while looking at Li Hua with his hands behind his back.

"Meow" Li Hua jumped off the eaves, motioning for Xiu Ze to lead the way, 'Let's go. '

Xiu Ze glanced at Li Hua's right front leg, which was slowly growing hair. Although he had experienced it personally, heard Situ Qi's description with his own ears, and saw Li Hua's recovery speed with his own eyes, he would still be amazed.

If this speed is placed in the army, it can be regarded as invincible.

Li Hua took advantage of the momentum and jumped onto a stone pier to check the things spread on the ground.

These are all she asked to prepare to deal with the orchid demon.

After all, there are no monks and Taoists who are willing to risk their lives, only a group of warriors who are stronger than ordinary people in martial arts and move faster than ordinary people.

If there is no life-saving support, I am afraid that it will be wiped out by the orchid demon.

Orchids like half shade and half sun, not heat tolerant but like cold.Even if she has cultivated into a human form, her own habits will not change.

And Lanhua Xijie, you can tell one or two from the decoration of her house.

Li Hua nodded, and called in Situ Qi's direction, "Qi'er, come to me." '

Listening to Li Hua's cry, Situ Qi kept recording with a pen in her hand, lowered her head to ask questions from time to time, and then scribbled and corrected.

After about a cup of tea, Situ Qi handed over the paper to Xiu Ze.

Xiu Ze took the rice paper and looked at the crooked words on it, then glanced at Situ Qi.Then handed the paper to Xiao Yi, "Go and make a copy, and then arrange it."

"Yes" Xiaoyi took it and left quickly.

"Qi'er, after this matter is over, follow me to practice calligraphy for half an hour every day." Xiu Ze's face was calm, but what he said made Situ Qi's face flush instantly.

"I...I'm still young, my mother said..." Situ Qi pointed her fingers in embarrassment, and wanted to move out his mother to avoid practicing calligraphy.

"When I was three years old, I was able to write well. You are six years old this year." Xiu Ze pointedly poked Situ Qi's sore spot.

Lihuamao's beard curled up on his face, and he almost screamed.Xindao' deserved it, let you tell him his real age. '

Li Hua always thought that Situ Qi was only four years old, because although he was fat, his height was about the same as that of a four-year-old child.

But that day, Situ Qi blurted out that she was six years old because she was ashamed to take a bath with her little one, and then Xiu Ze challenged him from time to time. Since then, Xiu Ze is no longer the big brother in his heart.

"Sister" Situ Qi acted like a baby to Li Hua, and wanted her to help her out, after all, sitting still was a tough thing.

Li Hua straightened her expression, tried her best to restore her beard and called out to him, "Qi'er, you have to endure hardships to become a master, come on!" "

"Sister." Situ Qi pouted, feeling unwilling.

At night, the courtyard of the other courtyard is brightly lit.There were two groups of people standing inside, one was the servants from the government office, and the other was the people brought by Xiu Ze.

"Today, you were each assigned a cloth bag, remember to memorize the purpose of everything in the bag." Xiao Yi stood in front and said.

"Tonight's battle is very dangerous, you must obey orders, the people of the government office must remember to guard the outside, and don't break into it." Xiaoyi's face was serious.

"Yes" came a deafening voice.

"Our people, we must be prepared to sacrifice tonight, and remember not to retreat," Xiaoyi shouted.

"Yes, never lose face of King Yi, never lose face of King Yi, never lose..." Xiu Ze's voice shook the birds perched on the tree, and they flew away.

Xiu Ze stood on the steps, raised his hand, and his voice stopped instantly.

"Tonight, we are facing a monster." Xiu Ze paused and continued, "But I believe that you will not back down."

"Don't back down, don't back down, don't back down." The people below shouted in unison.

Li Hua looked at the people in front of her who had fear on their faces but determination in their eyes, a strange flash of light flashed in their eyes, is this King Yi's charm so great?

"Let's go" Xiu Ze made a gesture of going out, and got on the horse first.

"Sister" Situ Qi knelt down and hugged Li Hua, "Be careful."

"Meow" Li Hua stretched out her paw and patted his hand, 'Don't worry, we will come back safely. '

After talking a few words, he jumped onto Xiao Yi's horse.

Seeing her jumping movements, Xiu Ze reached out to catch her, but he didn't expect her to go to Xiao Yi's.Glancing at Xiaoyi, he waved forward and said, "Let's go!"

A team holding torches followed behind. Since the number of people was close to 500, half of the sky in Fucheng was illuminated.

From time to time, someone heard the movement and opened the window to see the people passing by, and then closed the window silently.But without exception, they all said: Come back safely!

Li Hua watched this scene quietly, thinking in her heart, 'it will be safe, don't worry. '

About [-] miles away from Wangzhou City, Xiu Ze ordered people to rest on the spot and check their equipment.

Li Hua looked at the gloomy deep mountain in front of him in the dark night, and there was a look of solemnity in his eyes, the hostility in this mountain was even worse than in the daytime.

Xiu Ze took off the water bag, poured out a bowl and placed it in front of Li Hua, then raised his head and took a few sips.

"Li Hua, shall we start?" Xiu Ze looked at the mountain shrouded in darkness, he didn't know if it was something in his heart, he felt that the mountain had an evil spirit.

Li Hua nodded, bit off the small bundle on her back, and pushed the drawings inside to Xiu Ze.

This was the exact location that she and Situ Qi repeatedly changed before leaving. Because of the scattered smell, the tracker could only determine the approximate direction.

And based on the preferences of orchids and monsters, she delineated the three most likely locations within the range determined by the tracker insects.

Xiu Ze picked up the map, looked at it carefully, took out the map on his body, compared it, and handed Li Hua's map to Xiao Yi, "You make arrangements according to these three places, and tell them to pay attention to safety."

"Yes" Xiaoyi took the map and left in a hurry.

The wind in summer brings a hint of coolness, while blowing the treetops, it also brings people a moment of sobriety.

The yamen servant on duty outside the mountain was awakened by a gust of wind, his slightly chaotic mind stretched out his hand, rubbed his eyes, and threw the firewood into the still burning fire.

Suddenly, he felt something touching his face, and turned his head to find that it was a puff of black smoke.

The yamen servant instantly woke up and his face turned pale with fright. He kept a motionless posture, but reached out to the cloth bag on his waist, took out the carbon ash from it, and threw it towards the black smoke with a raised hand.

The black smoke seemed to be alive, and before the carbon ash touched him, he moved his body like a human being, avoiding it as if in disgust.

Seeing that the black smoke was far away from him, the yamen servant hurriedly stood up and shouted at the top of his voice, "That black smoke is here, here is the black smoke..."

For a while there was commotion outside the mountain, everyone put their hands in the cloth bags and got ready.

Li Hua saw the commotion in the crowd from the tree, and felt vigilant.They have already investigated two places, and it seems that they have been alerted. If they don't find her trace in the last place, it may be bad for them.

"Meow" Li Hua anxiously called to Xiu Ze and the others under the tree, "Hurry up, time is running out." '

Xiu Ze saw Li Hua jumping on the tree like walking on the ground, her speed was a little faster, knowing that things might change, she said in a deep voice, "Quicken your pace."

As soon as the words fell, he mobilized his internal strength to perform light kung fu and headed towards Li Hua.

At the entrance of a cold cave, Xiu Ze saw Li Hua, who was lying on the ground with her back arched.

"Li Hua" Xiu Ze approached her and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

Li Hua nodded, her eyes fixed on the cave.

Looking back and seeing people coming one after another, he raised his paw and pointed to the cloth bag on his body.He got up and rushed into the hole.

Seeing this, Xiu Ze wanted to get up and chase after him, but Xiao Yi pressed his shoulders, "Master, Li Hua told us to wait outside, and set up a formation to wait for her."

After hearing this, Xiu Ze calmed down, looked at the hole, got up and walked towards his subordinates.

Li Hua walked through the cave at a high speed, the further in, the lower the temperature.You can faintly see the frost on the rock wall in front of you.

"It's summer, my fur can't stop me from coming here," Li Hua slandered in his heart as he ran.
