Obsessive hunting Ⅰ

After leaving the Wuchang Temple, Li Yunsheng hired an ox cart and drove the three of them southward for about three hours until the owner of the ox cart stopped.

"You three, I can only send you here. A few miles ahead is Qilian Town. Go there by yourself."

Li Yunsheng wondered: "It's not too far away, why do we have to stop here?"

The man hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "The three of you don't know, but there are monsters in Qilian Town."

"...What monster?"

"I don't know the specifics. I only heard that it's very uneven there, so it's better not to get close to prevent problems before they happen."

Xue Se caressed her chin: "Why did something happen to us? Forget it, let's walk there, anyway, it's still early."

So the three of them chewed dried sweet potatoes and continued towards Qilian Town, preparing to see how powerful monsters are hiding in the town.

Half an hour later, they saw the quaint silver plaque, and at the same time realized what was so weird about the seemingly ordinary townspeople.

All the young women passing by here, without exception, covered their faces with black veils, lowered their heads and walked quickly, as if they would encounter something unexpected if they stayed a little longer.The breeze occasionally lifted the black veil, and Qi Mo caught a glimpse of several women with deep or shallow scars on their faces, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yun Sheng, look."

Li Yunsheng looked in the direction he pointed, and was quite surprised: "It seems that something terrible happened in this town."

As for unresolved doubts, Xue Se usually doesn't like to be muddled, so she directly stopped an old woman passing by, and asked softly with an innocent smile: "Excuse me, may I ask why these girls..."

The old woman interrupted her eagerly, motioned her not to continue, and lowered her voice to warn: "Girl, you are not from the local area, are you? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. If you don't leave, you must protect yourself. "

"...Thank you for reminding me, but I don't quite understand, is there something unclean in Qilian Town?"

"There are often fox demons in the town. When they see a pretty girl, they will tear off their face and take away their soul, and then turn into the girl's appearance, and then go out to confuse men—they have killed more than a dozen people this year. , so in order to ensure the safety of their daughters, some families even disfigured their daughters to avoid being targeted by the fox demon."

"..."

The old woman pulled out a black gauze from her bosom and stuffed it into her hand, and said worriedly: "Girl, I see that you are so beautiful, I'm afraid you will be in danger, you'd better plan ahead."

Xue Se stood where she was, watching the back of the other party stagger away, after a long time, she turned around with a serious expression.

"Hey, did you hear that? People praised me for being beautiful."

Li Yunsheng: "Is this the point?"

Xuese was about to refute this puzzled guy, but before she could speak, she suddenly heard a burst of impatient scolding from not far away: "Go away! My family's food is so precious that I won't sell it to others." You bastard who doesn't care about protecting monsters!"

The three of them turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a young man on crutches being chased out by a vendor, followed by a group of people who were relentless in chasing him, punching and kicking him until he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing that if he didn't stop him, the young man would surely die, Li Yunsheng and Qi Mo looked at each other, they approached side by side, and they couldn't help but tear the group of people apart one by one.

"Be merciful, lest you die."

The leading merchant glanced at Li Yunsheng with a half-smile, and said in a contemptuous tone: "It seems that you two have just come to Qilian Town, right? I advise you to stay out of your own business, this bastard deserves what he deserves for colluding with the fox demon. If you save He might be on fire."

"...He knows the fox demon?"

"It's not just acquaintance, he also dreams of being able to live and fly with the fox demon!"

Qi Mo smiled meaningfully: "In this case, we have to take this person away."

"what?!"

Xue Se was too lazy to listen to the chatter of this group of people, so she simply pushed them away and took two steps forward, carrying the young man on his shoulder with one hand, and picked up a pair of crutches that fell next to him with the other hand: "Stop talking nonsense, we are A full-time monster catcher, now I want to take him back and interrogate him to see how we can catch all the fox monsters!"

The vendor was at a loss: "What's the use of asking him? The fox demon that confuses him has already been sealed by the exorcist celestial master invited by the mayor..."

However, no one paid any attention to him, and the three of them hurried all the way and walked away.

Qi Mo walked a little further away, bought some ointment for bruises, and some daily necessities, and when he came back, he saw Li Yunsheng and Xue Se waiting in the alley, and the young man had already woken up, but his face was still pale His lips were bloodless, and he was coughing weakly against the wall.

Li Yunsheng sighed while peeling nuts for the other party: "What's your name?"

"The first... the seventh day..."

"Has this situation lasted for a long time? All the vendors in this town are unwilling to sell you anything?"

Chu Qi gasped and nodded, with a hint of self-mockery in her delicate eyebrows and eyes: "They all think that I am a scourge, a scum who has been deceived by the fox monster but is obsessed with it, so naturally they want to vent all their grievances on me, I admit it .”

Xuese tentatively said: "Then your legs..."

"It was also discounted by the townspeople at that time, because I pleaded for Xiaoyue."

"Xiaoyue?" She was thoughtful, "Is that the fox demon who was sealed by the exorcist celestial master?"

Chu Qi lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes vigorously. After a long time, there seemed to be tears in her eyes: "It's true that Xiaoyue is a fox demon, but she is very kind and has never done evil things."

Qi Mo asked slowly, "How can you be sure that she really never does evil?"

"She won't lie to me. Even if I give up my life, I will never doubt her."

Probably because his tone was too decisive, it aroused Li Yunsheng's strong interest: "Where does your family live? Can you lead us there?"

Chu Qi hesitated for a moment: "Excuse me for asking one more question, the three... who are they?"

"According to what you said, we are also considered to be ghost exorcists."

"..."

Qi Mo smiled: "Don't worry, we won't embarrass you, we just want to find out the ins and outs of this matter - if Xiaoyue is really wronged, we will save her instead."

Hearing the words, Chu Qi raised her head suddenly, her eyes brightened slightly: "Okay! As long as I can save Xiaoyue, I am willing to agree to any conditions of yours!"

Li Yunsheng waved his hand lazily: "We don't have any special conditions. At present, we just need to borrow your pot and stove to make dinner."
