Heizi eventually caught up with the woman and bit her.
Stab!
A piece of cloth on the woman's left calf was torn off by the fangs, and there was still blood on it. This made her almost fall to the ground, but she crawled on all fours and continued to run forward!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Niu Xiaotian gave chase and immediately waved the snakeskin whip in his hand.
Snapped!
After the noise, a hole was pulled open on the woman's buttocks, and the skin was exposed.
The woman screamed, but she didn't even bother to cover it with her hands, and continued to run desperately!
A man and a dog chased after each other wildly, raising dust all the way.
After jumping over the river channel on the east side, the woman suddenly turned around and threw something round and round, a black bead.
Niu Xiaotian raised his snakeskin whip and hit it accurately. The beads exploded immediately, but turned into a cloud of mist.
not good!
Most of the mist is poisonous!
Niu Xiaotian held his breath, grabbed the fur from Heizi's neck, picked him up, and jumped back a few meters away.
Unfortunately, when the fog cleared, the woman had gone into the forest and disappeared.
We can't pursue him anymore, there might be an ambush in the woods.
Niu Xiaotian and Heizi were both unwilling to do so. One scolded and the other barked, but finally they returned home with their heads hanging down.
Anyue was woken up and was rubbing her arms and standing at the door of the house looking around. When she saw Niu Xiaotian, she immediately shouted dissatisfied: "Xiaotian, why did you run out again in the middle of the night? The courtyard door is still open."
"Forget it, someone set a fire. After chasing him for a long time, he finally ran away." Niu Xiaotian pointed to the pile of firewood in frustration.
An Yue then came over to check. Sure enough, there were traces of burning, and water was still dripping wetly.
"Arson is a felony and the police should be called!" Anyue was very angry.
"What are you calling the police for? You can't catch her. She is a very evil woman. I almost fell into her trap twice." Niu Xiaotian waved his hand. This kind of elusive character is not something that the police station can deal with.
"Have you been putting out the fire just now?"
Anyue asked again. In her sleep, she heard the sound of splashing water and thought it was raining heavily outside.
"That's right! This little bit of family wealth cannot be burned down." Niu Xiaotian nodded, "Sister, you go to sleep. I'll fill up the water tank and go to rest."
"Oh well."
Anyue wanted to help fetch water, but the deep sleepiness in the middle of the night overwhelmed everything, her eyelids were heavy, and she had no strength, so she went to the hut and went back to sleep in an unreasonable manner.
After closing the courtyard door and fetching water, Niu Xiaotian lay down, but he didn't feel much sleepy.
Judging from her body shape and appearance, this woman was the mage who tricked Gong Fang. The act of setting the fire was an extreme act of revenge out of anger.
This person's spell level is not low. If the spell hadn't been counterattacked and suffered internal injuries, Niu Xiaotian might not have been her opponent.
I'm afraid that even if I chase, I won't be able to see the shadow.
Niu Xiaotian also suspected that the invisible master who kept attacking him before might also be this woman.
If it weren't for the amulet left by Master, I might have died today!
After calming down, Niu Xiaotian searched for the knowledge in his mind. In "Ling Wen Dao Fa", there is also a record of blue fire balls. They were made from the hell fire in the cemetery and were called hell fire beads.
Controlling the Hellfire Pearl with your thoughts can set fire and kill people. It is an equally powerful magical weapon.
There is no way to break it!
But at the third level of Zhenwu, the Dark Fire Pearl cannot harm it, and can be broken into pieces with the power of Zhenwu.
Niu Xiaotian has just reached the second level and is not yet very stable. There is no hope of a breakthrough at the next level.
The next few days were calm, and the female mage did not dare to make trouble again. She was probably hiding in a rat's nest to recover from her injuries, applying ointment to her buttocks and cursing Niu Xiaotian.
Well, that must be the case, because Niu Xiaotian sneezed a lot.
In early autumn, Xingwang Village’s annual mountain mining activity officially kicked off!
The men gathered on their own, in small groups, prepared enough dry food and water, carried hatchets and baskets, smoked cigarettes and blew cowhide, and entered the nearby mountains and forests one after another.
There are also people who go into the mountains together with others, which is an occasional behavior.
Only in this season, when all kinds of mountain products gradually mature, can large-scale activities of this scale occur.
As little as half a month, as much as a month.
When the men return, the autumn harvest season of crops in the fields will officially begin.
In the nearby villages, this was generally the case, with women pretending to have tears in their eyes and bidding farewell to their men.
After returning, he fell into unprecedented madness.
The days without men are very free!
Especially, there are no young men in the whole village, which is even more free!
Women can not comb their hair, not wash their faces, and walk around disheveled, and no one should dislike anyone.
During the day, they go to work in the fields, and at night, the women can get together to drink and have fun, play cards and mahjong, and make unscrupulous jokes.
During the mountain harvesting season, the average time for every household to turn off lights is a little later than usual.
In the past, there was only one adult man left in Xingwang Village, the village director Lin Dahai.
Now there is another man, Niu Xiaotian.
Well, in the eyes of the villagers, children under the age of 18 are not considered men.
Moreover, most of them go to school in the town.
"This habit is very bad. Without male labor, only the old, weak, women and children are left. The safety of the villagers is not guaranteed."
Anyue came back from the village headquarters for dinner and did not agree with this practice, but it had been a habit for many years and it was hard for her to stop it when she was new to the country.
After all, mining the mountains will also bring a lot of income to the villagers.
"Haha, Uncle Lin used to worry about it. He walked around with a flashlight at night and was afraid of making mistakes." Niu Xiaotian said with a smile.
"You mean, I have to stand guard for these women at night?"
"Actually, nothing will happen. Women can be very cruel when it comes to throwing a tantrum." Niu Xiaotian disagreed.
"It won't be good if something goes wrong." An Yue frowned, but she still took Niu Xiaotian's words to heart, "Xiaotian, cheer up at night and go out often. Lin Dahai is busy with things on the construction site and gets up early and stays late.
, it’s hard to call him around again.”
"Why! I don't owe them anything." Niu Xiaotian didn't want to work in vain, so he almost said, "Go ahead, you are the village director."
"It only lasts for half a month. Men have come back one after another. I have made the decision. The village department will allocate 2,000 for your security fee." Anyue discussed.
"Do I look like someone who is short of two thousand?" Niu Xiaotian still refused to agree.
"Think of it this way, many women will be workers in the factory in the future. You, the factory director, have the responsibility to protect them." Anyue continued to persuade.
"So what!"
"Convince the crowd! Otherwise, how can everyone be willing to follow you?"
Right!
After all, he still gets the factory director’s salary.
An Yue was very persuasive, and Niu Xiaotian reluctantly agreed. Anyway, if you don't sleep at night, you won't be able to live during the day, so you can catch up on your sleep!
"Hey, aren't you afraid of ghosts when I walk around at night?" Niu Xiaotian chuckled.
"You don't want to leave until I fall asleep!" An Yue glared and said, "Draw me another ghost-repelling charm and put it under the pillow, and keep the lights on in your room!"
