Chapter 63 The Archer

"Are you awake?"

Seeing the man woke up, Li Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief, "This is Yunqiao Township, you are safe."

"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 chat with her?"

"It's troublesome."

Then Li Chuan called in the women who were waiting in the yard.

Remembering what Li Chuan said earlier, the woman hesitated when she entered the room.

Li Chuan said, "I'll be fine for a while."

So she walked in quickly.

Li Chuan walked around the yard, stretched his body, and faintly heard the sound of talking and crying coming from the room. Looking at the sky, 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 open, it wasted my whole afternoon."

Only then did the two stand up, and the three went back to the room to talk.

During the conversation, Li Chuan knew that they were all from Qingfu Village, but Chunli Village was the first to be demonized.

The man's name is Tong Luo, he is a hunter, and he once rescued a casual cultivator.Sanxiu said that his foundation was good, but his comprehension was too poor, and it was difficult to see the way, so he was not accepted as an apprentice, but only taught him a set of archery and mental skills.

He practiced hard day and night, and indeed, as the loose cultivator said, it was difficult to enter the fairy gate, but in hunting, he made a lot of money, even ordinary monsters, it was difficult to dodge his arrows.

The reputation of the sharpshooter spread like this.Relying on hunting and serving as bodyguards for wealthy caravans, in just a few years, he has already accumulated a lot of wealth.

He said: "I lived in the woods that night. In the morning, I saw someone fleeing, so I went back to the village. I saw the snake. It must have been a person who had eaten too much. Limbs and torso, some recognize it, and some don’t.”

Tong Luo's eyes were red, "I took the arrow and shot it, but his skin was too hard, only one arrow hit the flesh, maybe he felt the pain, so he arched towards me, I wanted to wait for him to approach and shoot His eyes, but he suddenly turned the direction, the tail of the snake hit me, that's how I got hurt, when I was trying to keep up, I saw Er Niang, and then Er Niang and I cleaned up some soft things , escaped all the way.”

This woman's name was Zhuo Erniang, she and Tong Luo had known each other since childhood, after she married to Chunli Village, she devoted herself to serving her husband and being filial to her in-laws, the two hadn't seen each other for three to five years.

Becoming a spotted snake demon, it sneaked into Chunli Village at night and ate it one by one while the people were sleeping soundly.

Zhuo Erniang escaped a catastrophe because she went back to her natal home to visit relatives and did not come back until the next day.

But I don't want to, the snake demon went to Qingfu Village again, and when she hurried back to Qingfu Village, there were no more people in Qingfu Village, and among the people she knew, only Tongluo was still there. He took her all the way to escape, encountered many monsters along the way, and finally fled to Yunqiao Township.

The three sighed.

Li Chuan looked at Zhuo Erniang, a little embarrassed.

It's easy for Tong Luo to settle down, just spread a quilt in the main room, Zhuo Erniang...

Zhuo Erniang saw his embarrassment and said, "Don't worry, benefactor, I have a place to go."

"Where are you going?" Li Chuan was surprised.

Zhuo Erniang said: "When I was waiting in the yard just now, someone who called herself Liu Po ​​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 that Brother Tong is awake, I will go to her .”

At this time, it is not easy to be willing to take in a foreigner.

Zhuo Erniang asked Li Chuan for some clothes that needed to be mended, and after warming up the food for them, she went to Mrs. Liu's.

Li Chuan took out the few pills that Lao Xiaokai had left for him at that time.

After coming down from Xuanshui Mountain, he chatted with Lao Xiaokai. Lao Xiaokai insisted that his prescription could indeed get rid of evil spirits. The medicine given to him is also very good, it has a miraculous effect on demon injuries.

Li Chuan's translation is that it has a little effect, but not too much, and it will definitely not kill people.

He gave the pill to Tong Luo and said, "Brother Tong, take the medicine and rest well, and ask the doctor to come and see you tomorrow, so you can live here with peace of mind until you get well."

After comforting Tong Hou, Li Chuan walked into the yard, found Pang San by the water tank, and said softly to him, "Third brother, you go out tonight to find Dabai, and tell her about today's events. Tell her to be vigilant, if there is any abnormality, come and find me immediately. Qingfu Village is not far from here, if the snake demon is still alive, maybe it will set its sights on Yunqiao Township."

The next three nodded their eyes up and down to show that they understood. "

After thinking for a while, he recruited Gong Er who was standing on the eaves to practice the independence of the golden rooster, and said, "Go to Chongfu Temple and call Monk Wukong, be careful along the way, don't attract other people's attention, use more Use cover-ups, if you can't find it, or if you can't get in, just come back, safety first."

Gong Er patted his wings, expressing that he would not disgrace his life.

After doing all this, Li Chuan still felt flustered, so he went out again. He went to Zhang Yuanwai's house and expressed his worries.

When Zhang Yuanwai heard this, he was terrified, and immediately went to the village head, who knew something about Xuanshuishan. He said that it would be impossible to borrow troops from above, but it was still possible to organize the neighbors to patrol and warn. of.

So soon, they gathered [-] to [-] men and divided them into three teams to patrol around Yunqiao Township. Whenever there was any abnormal movement, they would shout loudly to warn, so that if there were any monsters coming, everyone would run in different directions. Hurry up, and you can live a few more.

When leaving from the township head's house, Yuanwai Zhang invited Li Chuan to his house for a drink. Li Chuan couldn't refuse, so he sat down for a while.

Member Zhang looked scared, and he said, "Li Chuan, you know that I have some relationship with me in Beijing, that's why I was able to invite Daoist Wen to get rid of demons last time, but now Daoist Wen is not in Yunqiao Township, In case a monster really comes, and it's too late to ask for help, do you think I should go and hide in the capital?"

Li Chuan found it hard to say, but he remembered Zhu Qingyun's words. Since she said that she should stay in Yunqiao Township, it might be safer here than other places.

So he said: "In Yunqiao Township, even if there is a demon coming, the neighbors will watch over and help each other. If we go to kill the demon together, there may not be no way out. But to go to the capital, you have to go through some uninhabited mountains and fields. At that time, you will encounter a demon. Not even anyone 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 got home, I saw Monk Wukong sitting in his yard waiting for him.
