When Li Xiuyuan saw this handsome man suddenly arriving, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked around.
Although this man is handsome, there is an inhuman and enchanting aura embedded in him, which makes people feel a different kind of handsomeness. If this kind of appearance is seen by an ordinary woman or girl, I am afraid that he will immediately fall into disgrace.
It captivates people and makes them unable to extricate themselves. Even Li Xiuyuan, who always thought he was handsome and handsome, had to accept his defeat.
However, this man is handsome, but there is a tail behind him that cannot be hidden.
Obviously, this is a male vixen.
It is not difficult to deduce from the previous words that this should be the second brother of Qing'e and Third Sister Hu.
It is said that fox girls are the most seductive and can enchant people. Now it seems that vixens are all the same. Fox girls can enchant men, and this male fox can also enchant women.
"Are you Hu Er?" Li Xiuyuan also returned the salute.
"Hu Er is the nickname of the little fox. The little fox's surname is Hu and his given name is Lanyu. Thanks to the rescue of the saint on earth, the little fox escaped yesterday and survived." Hu Lanyu said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "This is just a small thing that can be done by raising a hand. If your family is in trouble, you have to help."
"Your great kindness will be remembered by the little fox. The little fox will definitely repay his benefactor." Hu Lanyu said.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I don't have anything to repay you for. If you really want to repay me, why not do me a favor."
"Please give me your benefactor's instructions." Hu Lanyu said.
"There is a village near this green mountain. In the village, there is only one old woman who is widowed and lonely. The only son is also extremely unfilial. He wanted to kill his old mother, but was killed by the thunder from the sky. I saw that the old woman was a
A person with an open mind and a kind heart takes pity on her and wants to support her. However, I think just leaving some money and food for her may not be enough for her to enjoy her old age. Why don't you come for me and help the old woman to support her until her death?
?" Li Xiuyuan said.
He knew that the spirit owed a debt of gratitude and had to repay it.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan did not seek repayment from Hu Lanyu, so he found the simplest thing for him to do to offset this kindness.
"This is the benefactor's wish. The little fox must obey." Hu Lanyu immediately agreed.
This really couldn't be easier.
Even though it takes more than ten years to support an old man, to the fox spirit, more than ten years is nothing at all, and it can even be considered a short time.
"That puts me at ease." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
At this time, Hu Han seemed to be really drunk. He raised his glass and sang loudly: "Fox fur is not warm and the brocade quilt is thin, so the fox fur has to be thicker to keep warm. Well, thicker, haha, black leather."
Fox, your fur is thick enough, so you won’t be cold when you wear it.”
"Father, you are drunk, you should go back to your room and rest." Hu Lanyu said.
Hu Han grinned and said: "I have a good drinking capacity. How can I get drunk? Don't talk nonsense. I still have to drink three hundred glasses..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud and fell asleep.
Hu Han didn't spit out the smell of wine, and he didn't cast any spells. How could he not get drunk after drinking?
Seeing Hu Han like this, Li Xiuyuan was speechless for a while. He said: "Since my father-in-law is already drunk, I will help you to tell me something later. I will say goodbye and leave today. If you are free in the future, please give me a message."
Come and get together at my house."
"My benefactor, did we, the fox in the mountains, not treat him well? Why not play for a few more days and let the little fox fulfill his friendship as a landlord?" Hu Lanyu said hurriedly.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "There are many corpses of wild foxes in the valley. How can I play here with peace of mind when your fox clan has suffered such a misfortune? Moreover, I also have some things to do myself and cannot stay for a long time. Besides, the disaster has just passed.
There are still many trivial matters that need to be dealt with in the valley, and it is not convenient for me to disturb them."
"This, this is true. The family's misfortune disturbed my benefactor's happiness and made him laugh." Hu Lanyu apologized.
Li Xiuyuan said: "This is what I should say. If I could have come a few days earlier, perhaps this disaster could have ended earlier, and there would not have been so many casualties."
"Our fox clan has not experienced any disasters here for hundreds of years. Many fox spirits have successfully survived the human disasters under the protection of their elders. This is probably because God cannot bear it and intervenes on its own.
How can a disaster be called a disaster? That's why there is such a disaster. Now they have responded to the human disaster again and died in the disaster. How can they blame other people?" Hu Lanyu sighed.
"It would be great if you can think like this." Li Xiuyuan said: "I am also worried that you will resent the hunters nearby and go out to retaliate and kill them. In this way, although the resentment in your hearts will be calmed, the disaster in the future will be
It will be bigger.”
"My benefactor reminded me that Xiaohu understands this," Hu Lanyu said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Qing'e just let her stay in the valley temporarily to help you deal with the aftermath. After the matter is dealt with, let Qing'e go back to the house, and I won't talk to her again."
"Yes, benefactor." Hu Lanyu saluted.
After Li Xiuyuan was polite to him, he was ready to leave.
Hu Lanyu was very polite and insisted on giving him a ride. Li Xiuyuan shied away a lot, but he didn't shirk, so he acquiesced.
Walking out of the valley and following the mountain road, just as we were leaving the mountain, we saw four guards who were walking up the mountain, Wu Fei, Xing Shan, Niu Er, and Ma Dong.
"Young master, why did you come down from the mountain? The younger ones are looking for you." Ma Dong said happily.
Li Xiuyuan said, "Why have you been delayed for so long? I told you to go up the mountain after finishing your work. Why haven't you seen me for two days?"
"Back to the young master, the confused magistrate of Qingshan County is really annoying. The evidence is clear, but he still talks about having a trial. As a result, the trial is over today, and there will be another trial tomorrow. I don't know how long the trial will last.
Wu Fei was so angry that he almost drew his sword and killed the county magistrate. Fortunately, Xing Shan reminded him and he spent ten taels of silver to close the case immediately. Because the magistrate wanted money and deliberately dragged us along."
"Yes. As soon as we gave the money, the robbing hunters were imprisoned." Niu Erye said.
Wu Fei shouted: "In my opinion, that stupid county magistrate should be killed with a knife. He even dares to ask for our money. He really thinks his life is too long."
Li Xiuyuan said: "It is normal for there to be many corrupt officials in this world. The money I spent will be paid back to you. My matters here have been resolved. Let's get ready to go back."
After saying that, he turned to Hu Lanyu and said, "I'm sorry to have you send me here. I'd like to ask you to work harder on the old woman in the mountain village ahead."
"My dear friend, you're welcome. This is what the little fox should do, and if this is considered tiring, there will be nothing easy in the world." Hu Lanyu said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan quickly said goodbye to Hu Lanyu, went to the village at the foot of the mountain, picked up the horse from the old woman's house, saluted, said goodbye, and got up to set off.
"Young Master, are we going back to Guobei County directly?"
On the road, everyone turned back on horseback, and Ma Dong couldn't help but ask.
"No, when I went to Jinling City, someone said that I had passed the examination as a scholar. I had to go and register, get my scholar certificate, and find someone to collect my debt. Someone owed me a large sum of money, and he didn't even have an IOU when he left.
If I write, I don’t know if I will default on the bill." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Does that person owe the young master a lot of money?"
"Thirty thousand taels."
Wu Fei's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "For such a large amount of money, if he doesn't pay back, we will tie him up. If he doesn't pay back, we will tear him up. We must let them see how powerful we are."
"Why don't you just grab it?" Li Xiuyuan said.
When I came here, I was traveling day and night, so rescuing people was like putting out fires.
Because I was not in a hurry, I didn't go very fast. I still hadn't arrived at Jinling City in the evening, so I had to give up the idea of traveling all night and find a hotel to stay and rest.
In this unfamiliar place, traveling at night is not a good choice.
The hotel is small and simple, and it seems that the business is not very good.
However, the shopkeeper was also diligent, kept the place clean and tidy, and served warmly. Although the food and drink were a little less, it was still enough to satisfy one's hunger.
"Young Master, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this shop. Many people have died." Wu Fei suddenly whispered while eating noodles.
"Oh, how did you tell?" Li Xiuyuan was surprised.
Wu Fei said: "There are several rows of lanterns hanging in front of the door. This is the rule of running an inn. Hanging a red lantern in front of the door after death is not only to attract business, but also to worship the soul of the dead. This hotel has hanging
There are more than a dozen lanterns, and I'm afraid more than a dozen people have died."
"Is this a black shop?" Ma Dong was stunned and asked.
"It's definitely not a dark shop. If it were a dark shop, they wouldn't hang up lanterns." Wu Fei said with a grin.
Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly and he said: "It's either that so many people died in the black shop again, or there was a murder case here."
"Young Master, the lantern in front of the door is old and new. It's not the person who died in a murder case."
"Then it's either that there are evil spirits at work here, killing people one after another." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
He glanced around, but didn't see any evil presence.
Of course, he might also be hiding in a corner that he didn't see.
His eyes can see through illusions, but they cannot see through walls. Even if there is a kid hiding behind the door, he cannot see it.
"You can't be so unlucky, can you encounter monsters and ghosts wherever you go?" Ma Dong asked in surprise.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Actually, there are monsters and ghosts everywhere. When I was rushing to Qingshan a few days ago, I saw a lot of wandering ghosts on the roadside. However, these ghosts have no intention of harming people and actively avoid them.
We are just strangers, and we have some thoughts about ghosts and monsters that are harmful to people, but our moral conduct is not enough. Seeing that our Qi and blood are strong and we have no evil thoughts in our hearts, we naturally retreat."
"There are some spirits who are also very powerful, but they just couldn't defeat me and ran away."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
It turns out that there are monsters and monsters everywhere in the world, but I was ignorant and didn't pay attention to them before. Now that I have encountered them more often, I realize that ghosts and monsters are all around me.
