just a tabby cat

Chapter 5 Meow, the way home

"Ah..." A beast-like roar came from the cave under the tree, startling a group of birds resting on the tree, flapping their wings and flying to the distance.

The surroundings slowly returned to calm, leaving only a series of small sounds of stepping on the grass.

Situ Qi clenched the jade bottle in her hand, and on her shoulder stood a red bug whose tentacles kept moving around.

"Xiaohong, is this here?" Situ Qi asked in a low voice.

The two tentacles of the little red bug touched each other, and then got into Situ Qi's bib.

Situ Qi looked around, but found nothing unusual, and said, "Did Xiaohong lead the wrong way?"

"Ah... ah... ah..." Several cat-like and human-like groans came from under the tree.

Situ Qi hurriedly hid behind the tree, stuck out half of her head, and secretly looked at the half-covered stone cave under the giant tree.

'Is it here? ' Situ Qi asked herself in her heart.

After a quarter of an hour without any sound, Situ Qi picked up an arm-long branch, slowly came out from behind the tree, and cautiously approached the tree hole.

Slowly picking up the vines, under the bright moonlight, I saw a person looming in the cave.Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could vaguely tell that it was a woman.

The skin illuminated by the moonlight is as smooth as jade. With the undulations of breathing, the moonlight rolls back and forth on it, which is very beautiful.

Situ Qi sighed at what she saw, then turned around suddenly, her face flushed, and she whispered, "See no evil."

Then gently retreated to the side, and said to himself, "My sister is here alone, and she hasn't covered herself yet. She must have been taken captive."

Situ Qi seemed to understand, she looked at the cave entrance sympathetically, her face was a bit tangled, should she continue to look for lihua, or guard her sister in the cave.

After struggling for a while, Situ Qi stomped her feet and began to search for the surrounding branches, piled them up at the entrance of the cave and lit them, and then found a big banana leaf to cover the woman.

After finishing a series of actions, Situ Qi sat silently at the entrance of the cave, staring at the fire in a daze.

"Roar..." The roar of the tiger came from far and near.

After hearing this, Situ Qi stood up immediately, her little face turned pale, and she held a branch that was not too thick in her hand, and compared it to the forest.

"Roar" The next moment, a huge tiger jumped out of the forest.His red eyes stared at the hole.

"You...you...you back off." Situ Qi's small hands trembled, her voice stuttering.Then try to stand up straight and pretend to be attacking

"If you don't leave, I...I will burn you with fire." He picked up a burning branch and waved it at the tiger.

"Roar..." the tiger stood up and jumped without any fear, and threw Situ Qi to the ground with a pounce. The saliva with a strong fishy smell from the tiger's mouth kept dripping on his face.

Situ Qi closed her eyes tightly in fear, her hands and feet could not be controlled, and she was thinking in her heart, 'it's over, it's over, I'll never see my parents and Li Hua again. '

"Roar" the tiger roared angrily, lowered its head and wanted to bite the little man's neck, but a yellow light flashed, and the tiger was shaken out of Situ Qi's body by the light.

Situ Qi felt light on her body, opened her eyes and found that the tiger was lying on the ground three feet away, and there was a circle of yellow light around her, especially the jade bottle in her hand.

Situ Qi didn't feel any fear at the moment, and curiously looked at the jade bottle in her hand, touching it here and there.

"Lihua left a treasure for me, no wonder she looked at it with reluctance before leaving." He raised the jade bottle in his hand and walked towards the tiger.

The tiger got up and shook his head, his figure was a little unsteady, looking at the approaching yellow light, he subconsciously backed away.

"Hahaha, you are afraid." Situ Qi held up the jade bottle with a proud face, "Let's go now."

Seeing that the yellow light was getting closer, the tiger let out a growl as if unwilling to do so, and ran into the depths of the dense forest.

"Huh—" Situ Qi took a long breath, her legs were a little weak, she took a step back and sat on the ground.He kept panting.

"Scared me to death, scared me to death." He kept patting his chest while talking.

Unexpectedly, before Situ Qi finished filming, there was a bigger movement coming from the forest, coming this way.

After hearing this, Situ Qi's face became tense, she turned and ran towards the entrance of the cave, and the jade bottle was lifted high.

Not long after, there were more than a dozen pairs of green eyes in the forest, looking at the entrance of the cave together, and the sound of the grass being trampled was getting closer.

Situ Qi stared at Lin Zi, watching tigers, wolves, leopards, bears and other ferocious beasts slowly coming out from inside, posing in an attacking posture, sweat slipped from his forehead unconsciously.

The eyes of the coming beasts were red, as if there was some peerless delicacy waiting for them, staring at the entrance of the cave, saliva dripping from its mouth, slowly submerging the piece of grass in front of it.

Situ Qi swallowed her saliva, tightened her hands on the jade bottle, and stared at the group of beasts in front of her, feeling very unbelievable in her heart, "How can so many beasts working independently come together as if they are working together?" '

"Ahh..." A huge white wolf, more than three times the size of ordinary wolves, sprang out from the pack of ferocious beasts. It seemed that it could no longer bear the temptation, and rushed towards the entrance of the cave. With a vertical leap, it avoided the jade in Situ Qi's hand. The attack of the bottle rushed towards the cave.

"Don't even think about it" Situ Qi saw that the white wolf was about to break out of the encirclement, she rolled over and blocked the entrance of the cave.

A burst of yellow light knocked the white wolf away and hit a tree. The white wolf lay silently on the ground.

Situ Qi kept panting, staring at the beast that was about to move in front of her, her eyes were extraordinarily bright.

"Roar... ah..." The voices of various ferocious beasts were intertwined, as if they were shocked by Situ Qi, and they seemed to be communicating.

Situ Qi lowered her upper body and assumed a running posture.

Just after Situ Qi made a gesture, all the beasts rushed up and attacked him.

Situ Qi ran back and forth, guarding the entrance of the cave tightly, but did not let them succeed.

The yellow light from the jade bottle in her hand gradually weakened, and there were many small wounds on Situ Qi's arms and thighs, which could not be avoided as soon as they were scratched.

Situ Qi didn't dare to be distracted, and stared at the beasts in front of them who had temporarily ceased fighting to maintain their strength.

"Roar... ah..." With a roar that was stronger than the previous one, the beast launched a new round of attacks.

"Ah..." A childish cry of pain came, and then a small body slipped from the tree trunk, and before he could stand up, the sound of a bear's paw holding the wind came from the sky.

"Kang..." Situ Qi closed her eyes, the expected pain did not come, but instead she heard the sound of a huge object falling to the ground.

Situ Qi opened her eyes suddenly, and found a woman in purple clothes standing in front of her, with streaks of yellow light emitting from her hands, repelling the ferocious beast that was about to approach.

With the movement of the woman's hands, the corpses of the beasts in the forest gradually piled up, about as tall as two people.

"Woooooo..." Seeing that there was no chance of winning, the rest of the beasts ran into the depths of the forest with their tails between their legs.

The woman in purple waved her hand, and the body began to burn in a yellow protective cover, and then turned around, "Little fat man, how are you?"

Situ Qi stared blankly at the woman in front of her, her hair was disheveled without any decoration, and there was no trace of makeup on her face.But those agile eyes, jade-like skin, and the corners of the mouth that smiled before saying a word, did they meet a fairy?
"Could it be that you've been overstimulated and made yourself stupid?" the woman in purple asked doubtfully as she pressed Situ Qi's forehead with her palm.

Situ Qi felt a coldness on her forehead, she quickly regained her senses, raised her head and asked naively, "Is my sister a fairy?"

The woman in purple chuckled, "I'm a goblin, and I specialize in eating fat people."

Situ Qi looked at the woman in front of her who was smiling like a peony blooming, "If you were a fairy, you would be a good fairy." After finishing speaking, she nodded heavily, affirming herself.

"You little fat man." The woman in purple knelt down and tugged at his face, "Didn't you leave a jade bottle for you at noon, why did you find it?"

"Ah?" Situ Qi looked at the woman in bewilderment, let her scratch her face, rehearsed her words over and over in her mind, then yanked off the woman's hand, and hurriedly got up from the ground.

Walking around the woman in purple, he reached out and poked the woman's hand, and asked as if confirming, "Are you that raccoon cat?"

The woman in purple looked at him with a smile, reached out and tapped his forehead.

Situ Qi pressed her forehead with both hands, looked up with tears in her eyes, "It hurts so much."

The woman in purple rubbed his forehead amusedly, "Where did that brave energy go?"

Situ Qi laughed.

"My name is Lihua, not Lihua." The woman in purple said while rubbing his head.

"Oh, sister Lihua." Situ Qi nodded repeatedly and shouted.

"En" Li Hua looked up at the dots of light on the treetops, "The night of the full moon is about to pass, and I will also turn into my own body. Since you saved me once, then I will send you home, and it will be settled. "

"Remember, everything that happened today can't be mentioned to anyone, it may bring about death." Li Hua said while staring into Situ Qi's eyes, which were full of seriousness.

"Well, sister, don't worry, I won't even tell my parents." Situ Qi raised two fat fingers as if swearing.

"Okay, I believe you." Li Hua patted his head, and led him to sit by the tree.

"How did you find me?" Li Hua took out a pill from the jade bottle and stuffed it into his mouth, "This is a good medicine for healing, and it will be the same for ordinary people after taking it for an hour."

"This." Situ Qi swallowed the pill in her mouth, reached out and took out a bunch of huddled red worms from her bib.

"Seeker bug?" Li Hua looked at the bug in his hand with some doubts.

"Xiaohong was given to me by Aunt Qing, my mother's friend." Situ Qi carefully put the red worms into her bib. "Aunt Qing said that as long as someone has my breath on them and they are within three miles, they can find them." .”

Li Hua nodded, without going into the details, and patted his head, "Okay, there is still an hour before sunrise, sleep for a while, after sunrise, I will take you out of the mountain."

Situ Qi nodded, rested her head on the tree, and slowly closed her eyes. She was indeed tired from this battle.

Seeing that he was fast asleep, Li Hua took out a pillow and quilt from her purse, adjusted Situ Qi's sleeping position, and stood by the tree looking at him.

"Since you have something to do with me tonight, I'm afraid I'll follow you before I detoxify, otherwise every month will be full, and the poison on your body will attract all kinds of ghosts and ghosts to pester you." Li Hua said while reaching out to touch it. On Situ Qi's sleeping face, there was a trace of imperceptible sadness in her eyes.
