Xiu Yuan woke up when he heard the sound. He opened the window and looked down. It was still pitch black. "Did he fall asleep just now? Is he in a dream?"

Soon, as the first ray of morning light shot into the window, Xiuyuan came to the window and opened the window. Although the mountain was deserted, the scenery was still good. He did not expect that there was a false alarm this night, and there was no movement when he spent the peacefully in the second half of the night.

Maochun and Xiuyuan packed up their things and prepared to go downstairs. When they walked down the stairs, they saw that there were no other guests in the lobby, and only a slender woman in blue clothes was sweeping the floor there.

"Girl," Maochun called her. The girl turned around. Xiuyuan and Maochun were stunned. At this point, there were such beautiful girls in the wilderness. The woman had long eyebrows and wrinkled skin, her delicate melon-shaped face and a pair of beautiful almond eyes that seemed to be able to talk. Her black hair was wrapped in a headscarf and a thick green cloth dress. Maochun looked at her. Compared to yesterday's store, this woman was much simpler.

"Customer, what are your instructions?"

"Where is the store?" Maochun asked.

"My owner went out for something, so I was left alone." The woman wiped sweat with her arms, "How did the guest slept well yesterday?"

"Okay, okay," Maochun nodded with a smile, and pulled Xiuyuan's neck of his clothes and whispered in his ear, "It seems that we are too careful. We didn't eat yesterday and we should eat a little bit of food to cover our belly in the morning."

Xiuyuan nodded and sat down with his father. The woman then took out a teacup to make tea for the father and son, "I'll prepare some dry food now, wait for the guest." Then the woman stepped back to the kitchen.

Xiuyuan picked up the teacup and drank water. His father drank it all in one go, "It seems that this is not a black shop."

Xiuyuan didn't say anything. Although the woman was wearing a thick dress, she had slender fingers, fair skin, and thin body, not like a farm girl who usually did rough work. But this time he didn't tell her father.

The woman quickly brought the steamed buns and cooked meat. Just as she was about to put them on the table, Maochun's bag was also on the table. Just as the woman was about to put the food over, a glimmer of light came from the bag. The woman shook her hand and screamed, and she fell to the ground with the food.

"Miss, are you okay?" Maochun hurriedly helped the woman up, and the woman avoided looking at him, "No, I saw me clumsy and swept the guests' interest."

"It's good if you didn't fall," Maochun responded. Xiuyuan looked at the woman, with a panic expression, her face turned pale, and she looked at Maochun's bag and her eyes dodged.

Xiuyuan also looked at his father's baggage and the woman. Seeing Xiuyuan looking at him for fear that he would see the clues, the woman immediately packed up the food on the ground, "I'll go and change it to the guest officer." As she said that, she trotted into the kitchen with the food.

Xiuyuan looked at his father, "Let's go."

Maochun looked at his son strangely, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I'm worried that I can't get out of the mountain after delaying the time. Besides, there's nothing good inns in the wilderness. I'd better go back to the town to find some food." As he said that, he picked up the bag for his father and turned around and walked out without saying a word. Maochun had no choice but to keep up.

When the woman came out of the kitchen, she saw that the father and son were no longer there, so she left a deserted hall for her. The woman put down the food in her hand and took off her headscarf. Three thousand black hairs were like a waterfall. In an instant, her face turned into the white-clothed fox demon last night. At the same time, another woman came out of the kitchen. Her face was not amazing, but she was also very beautiful. She was a little small and seemed young. She was both wearing black hair in white and was standing next to the tall fox demon, "I said sister, I don't accept your affection, you have saved the father and son's life in vain, haha." The tone was full of ridicule.

The tall fox demon looked straight outside, ignoring the words of the young fox demon, "Xiaozhi, have those two beasts dealt with?"

"Sister Buyu said that I've been thrown to the foxes and grandchildren long ago."

"Then let's go on the road, too."

"What should we do in this inn?"

"The damn black shop is actually some of the unjust ghosts and souls who died here wander around, let's burn it." The tall fox demon turned around and left, which was a charming smile that was so sarcastic, because there was no woman in the world who could interpret the charming smile so beautifully that it could kill people's lives.

Xiuyuan helped his father to rush on the way. Maochun was hungry and tired, and he was old and exhausted, so he staggered and almost slipped. Xiuyuan grabbed his father and said, "I'll carry you on my back." He squatted down and let his father climb up.

Maochun waved his hand, "Child, you are delicate and can be left by your father."

Xiuyuan helped his father, "Then let's slow down."

I don’t know how long they had left, they were still wandering around the forest, “Xiuyuan, why do I think we are back in this world?”

Xiu Yuan looked around and it was indeed the place just now, "We may have turned back."

"What's going on?" Maochun was a little panicked.

Xiu Yuan picked up a stone and drew a deep mark on a big tree next to him, "That's all we can do, let's make a mark first. Let's go in one direction from now on and not turn."

Maochun nodded and continued on the road with Xiuyuan, making marks while walking. I don’t know how long it took, but the two saw the big tree that made the marks at first.

Maochun suddenly sat on the ground, "Oh, it's so bad now. This is a ghost hitting a wall."

Xiu Yuan looked around. The sky was gray and the dense forest blocked the sky, making it impossible to calculate the time, but also the sky was not visible.

A cry from the primitive animals came from the jungle. With a few more such screams, Maochun suddenly sat up from the ground, "Wolf?"

Xiuyuan also became nervous and stood in front of his father to protect his father. Sure enough, pairs of green eyes gradually appeared in the dark jungle. Xiuyuan protected his father and stood under a big tree with a few steps back.

"Child, we are afraid we can't get out today." Maochun held Xiuyuan's thin arms.

Four or five gray wolves gradually appeared, getting closer and closer to them, and their hearts were already in their throats. Maochun closed his eyes and Xiuyuan no longer struggled.

At this moment, a whistle sounded, and a young man in green jumped down from the tree, holding a burning torch in his hand and standing in front of the father and son. The wolf pack stepped back when he saw the fire.

The boy carried a long knife with a bow and arrow on his back, and the torch in one hand and the other hand. The boy handed the torch to Xiuyuan and "hold it."

Xiu Yuan took the torch and waved it. The boy took out a bow and arrow and shot it at the leading wolf with an arrow. The wolf that was shot fell to the ground, and the other wolf did not dare to step forward.

The young man held the bow and arrow and did not dare to relax for a moment, and led the father and son to retreat step by step.

"Heroic," Maochun was at the end, "there is no more road."

The boy turned his head and looked around, and Xiu Yuan also looked around. Only the road next to him could escape, but there were two wolves next to him, and the wolves were very scattered. Xiu Yuan understood that the boy was worried about shooting here and the wolf on the other side took the opportunity to attack.

The two sides were stalemate. After a while, a few white dots suddenly shone in the jungle and ran towards him. At the speed of the wind, Xiu Yuan had not had time to see what it was. The leading white giant animal had already pounced on it and bit the neck of a gray wolf. The two animals immediately rolled out, and then the remaining few white animals started to bite the remaining wolf.

"It's now, run." The boy pulled Xiuyuan and his son and ran out from the side. The three of them ran wildly. Only Xiuyuan looked back while running. The animal with white and agile movements was all over the body, with a light body. Could it be a fox?

The three of them ran out and could hear the sound of animals fighting. After running for a while, Maochun sat down after losing strength, "I, I really can't run anymore, you can go."

When the young man in green heard this, he pulled Xiuyuan to continue. Xiuyuan broke free from the young man and pulled his father up, "I will carry you out on my back." As he said that, he pulled Maochun forward. The young man stood aside and glanced at them, then walked over to support Maochun, and the two of them helped Maochun forward for a while.

Xiu Yuan looked around and looked at the boy, "Where are we going?"

"Go to my house first." The boy's voice was soft. "Just in front."

Following the boy's voice, there was a wooden house not far from the mountain forest. The three of them finally arrived at the boy's home.

The wooden house is very simple. In addition to a bed, there are several simple wooden cabinets and a table, which can be described as being barely scattered by the house.

The boy used a scoop of water from the large jar in the house and drank it all. Then he scooped another scoop and handed it to the father and son, "Drink it."

Maochun took the water and drank it. The boy stood by the window and put his hands on his hips and looked out. Xiuyuan walked over, "Heroic man, thank you for your help. Li Xiuyuan, who is my father--"

The boy tilted his head and Xiu Yuan saw clearly that his face was very delicate. When the boy untied the hairband on his head, his black hair fell down. Xiu Yuan and Maochun were stunned. It turned out to be a woman.

"Who told you that I am a man?"

Xiuyuan hurriedly saluted, "I'm sorry to be a little stupid and offended the girl."

The woman waved her hand, "Forgive it, you don't have to thank me. It's not a coincidence that I can save you today. I'll save anyone I see."

Maochun also came over, "Miss, do wolves often cause trouble in this mountain forest?"

"It's not just a wolf, a fox, a poisonous snake, everything," the woman tied her hair up, "Of course, there are also fairies."

The two were stunned, remembering the fact that they could not get out today, "No wonder we couldn't get out in the woods today. It turned out that we had encountered a ghost and hit the wall." Maochun said in disappointment, and still felt scared.

"Dare you ask the girl's name?"

The girl looked up and down to Xiuyuan for a while, and changed her seriousness, and suddenly smiled, "Just just call me Mochou."

Cultivate fate and perform rituals, "It turns out to be Miss Mochou."

"Okay, don't do so much politeness. I'm not a scholar, I don't pay so much attention to it."

"It is no exaggeration to thank the girl for saving our father and son's lives." Maochun took the bag and said, taking out a few ingots of silver.

"What do you mean?" Mo Fow's eyebrows stood up, a little unhappy.

Maochun hurriedly explained, "Girl, don't be too careful. I just don't know how to express our father and son's gratitude to the girl. I will give it some silver to the girl first as a thank you. I will come to my door to thank you very much in the future."

Mochou gave Maochun a blank look and said, "You keep it, I don't need it." As he said, the door was pushed open, and a white-haired old man with a Taoist look like a Taoist priest walked in.

"Master." Mo Chou shouted, and the old man looked up at the three people in front of him.

"I said why are there so many uninvited guests in the woods today? It turns out that there are guests." The old man smiled.

Mochou took the baggage from his master, "I ran into the woods and saw them surrounded by wolves."

The old man looked at Xiu Yuan and Maochun, "Have you caught a demon?"

Xiuyuan and his father looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Mochou looked at the father and son, "No wonder you said you encountered a ghost and hit a wall."

The old man looked at Mo Chou, "How did you escape? Did you use the master to teach you what trick?"

"I really want to use it, but when I was anxious, I forgot it. It was still very dangerous. Who knew that the fox came to save us at a critical moment."

"Fox?" The old man glanced at him.

Mochou nodded, "It's true that they attacked the wolves."

The old man stroked his beard and looked out the window. The woods at dusk were getting darker and darker, and the whole woods exuded a different aura from the past.

"You stay here for a night first and then go tomorrow. I'll let Mochou take you out tomorrow." He said that. Mochou was going out immediately, and Xiuyuan stopped her, "Where are you going?"

Mochou looked at him and suddenly smiled, "You live here, of course I live on the tree with my master."

"This, this is not good." Maochun also felt that he could not handle it.

"Don't worry, sleep. The master and I are used to it. We are not as particular as you." He walked out.

The old man sat on a tree branch, holding a small wine bottle in his hand. The wind in the night made his gray beard fly up. Mochou sat on another tree branch with his shoulders in his arms, feeling a little cold.

"Child, it's really hard for you to suffer so much with your master over the years," the old man said, taking off a cotton jacket and throwing it to Mo Chou.

"What did you say? Master, you raised me and taught me so many skills. I'm very happy."

The old man drank all the wine in the pot in one sip, "I think the young man you saved today is not an ordinary person. Please follow him, it is also considered that the master has an explanation to you."

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mo Chou raised his voice, "You don't want your apprentice?"

The old man stroked his beard, "After all, you are a girl's family, and you will get married sooner or later. It's not a solution to follow the master, neither female workers can embroider and find a good family."

"I won't," Mochou took off his cotton jacket and threw it to the master, "I will follow you, I want to catch the fairy, I haven't caught the fairy yet."

The old man laughed, "You silly kid, do you really want to catch the goblins so much?"

"I don't know anything else, I just want to catch the demon." Mo Chou looked at the master firmly.
