Christmas

The vigorous and powerful characters were written in extremely small size, so Shi Xie took a flashlight on one side and shone it, so that he could see everything clearly.

——Thanks to the guidance of the master, I first learned that thinking in my body does not return, and I only have nine days to live. Later, I learned that only the fruit of "thinking back" can be cured.

I did a census of books, and finally found the appearance of the fruit of 'Sigui', and I was lucky enough to find it in a cave in the back mountain.

'Sigui' is indeed like a red fruit, but its whole body is slightly purple. It took root in a blood-colored pool. The water color is bright red. I don't know how it was formed, and it has a strange fragrance.

It's just that although we found 'Sigui'...but there has been a [-]-meter-long red python in the cave for many years. The red scales are as hard as iron, the eyes are as big as a bucket, and the red letter is huge. There are two pustules three inches above the eye socket, which is really frightening

I brought dozens of people, except me who escaped, and no one survived. It was just a coincidence that my left hand accidentally got some of the red liquid.

It's just that after nine days, I didn't die, so I invited the master to ask for advice.

The master was also amazed, and asked me to truthfully describe the incident of encountering the giant snake and the incident of getting wet on my hands.

Finally, an astonishing result was obtained, 'Sigui' was actually not the red fruit above, but the small red liquid below.That giant snake is really ferocious, and now that Qi Er has returned, I completely stopped thinking about returning.

I owed him a lot in the past few years, and now I just want to make it up to him. I have been lucky enough to get it back in the past ten years, and I dare not try it lightly again.

The giant snake in the cave seems to be about to turn into a jiao, it is the guardian beast of 'Sigui', I really hope that future generations will remember it, never dare to try it lightly, remember it. '

The handwriting broke at this point, Shi Xie put the book in his hand aside in silence, Baili Qianyan and Shi Lin also had the same expression on their faces.

> A few thoughts.

"It turns out that Sigui is not a fruit, but the red liquid. Fortunately, fortunately, we knew in advance, otherwise if we really found Sigui and gave the fruit on it to my cousin, who knows what would happen .”

Baili Qianyan let out a sigh of relief, with an exaggerated appearance of the rest of his life after a catastrophe.

"Although we know the whereabouts of Sigui, what should we do with the dragon? It was 500 years ago when Shen Rong wrote these words, and the giant snake was about to turn into a dragon at that time. It must have faded away after 500 years. Turning into a flood dragon is even more difficult to deal with."

Shi Lin pushed his glasses, and the moment he made a sound, Baili Qianyan's excited mood was turned cold.

"Then what should we do? We only have three days left!"

Baili Qianyan couldn't help puffing up her cheeks, looking a little dejected.

"Go back first, and then ask the village chief where the cave is. Even if it's a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, I'll definitely go for the little demon."

With a solemn face, Shi Xie closed the book and stood up. Baili Qianyan and Shi Lin quickly followed suit, calling Xia Wu and the other three to go home together.

When we arrived at the village chief’s house, we saw that the village chief’s house was still lit. After Shi Xie arranged Xia Yao and He Bishen to wash up, he went into the village chief’s house with Shi Lin and Baili Qianyan. in the house.

After the village chief read the words written by Shen Rong in the book, he frowned and thought for a while before putting down the book and saying.

"The cave...there is indeed a cave at the back of the mountain, but the cave's entrance is so small that it can only accommodate one person at a time.

"

"Are there no other caves?"

Baili Qianyan frowned and asked.

"No, I used to go to this back mountain when I was a child, and I am very familiar with it. I have seen this cave before, and I have never seen it in other places.

"

〇

"After all, 500 years have passed, and the mountain may have changed."

Shi Lin took off his glasses and rubbed the center of his brows wearily, Baili Qianyan immediately stood up and rubbed Shi Lin's shoulders.

"Whether it is true or not, we have to go and have a look, now go back to rest and recharge your spirits."

Shi Xie stood up and finished speaking, and the village head immediately nodded in agreement.

"I'm old, so I can't enter the back mountain. The rest of the village are old, weak, sick and disabled, and no one can guide you. I'll draw a map for you tomorrow morning, and you have to go by yourself."

"The village chief is worried."

Shi Xie nodded his thanks.

"It's okay, you go back and rest first."

The three of Shi Xie said goodnight to the village chief one by one and walked out of the village chief's house.

"Xiaoyan, Ah Lin, I have worked hard for you these few days."

Shi Xie seldom speaks in such a heavy tone, and it is still in such an apologetic tone.

Baili Qianyan was taken aback for a moment, then puffed up his face angrily.

"Cousin! What are you talking about? Are we outsiders? And you said we worked hard? You are the hardest one, okay? We are also very sad that my cousin has become like this, so we have to cheer up! Now we Now that we know where the antidote is, we will definitely make my sister-in-law get better!"

Hearing Baili Qianyan spit out a lot, Shi Xie pressed the corner of his brow and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"I don't mean to give up, even if it's the last second, I have to get Sigui.

Alright, go back and rest, we are going up the mountain tomorrow. "

"It's fine if not, my cousin is still waiting for us."

Baili Qianyan heaved a sigh of relief, reached out to hug Shi Lin's arm and put all his weight on Shi Lin's body.

Shi Lin put his arms around his lover who was starting to be lazy again, and pushed his glasses.

"Cousin, take a good rest, everything is with me and Xiaoyan."

Shi Xie nodded, a feeling of warmth rose in his heart, he didn't continue to talk to Shi Lin and the others, and turned back to the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Shen, who was sleeping on the kang in an extremely unrestrained posture, lying across Xia Yao and He Bishen.

Xia Yao and He Bishen's sleeping positions were very regular, and they didn't move when they were pressed by Xiao Shen, but their brows were wrinkled, and they slept very restlessly.

Shi Xie frowned, and stepped forward to hug Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen, who simply fell asleep, was very well-behaved, he just smacked his lips, stretched out his arms to hug Shi Xie's neck and continued to fall asleep.

Shi Xie turned around directly and sent him into Baili Qianyan's room, then quickly came back and locked the door, got into the quilt, hugged Xia Yao and closed his eyes to sleep, all movements were done in one go without any pause.

It was another dreamless night, the dawn sun broke out, and the room was warm through the windows.

Shi Xie, Shi Lin, and Baili Qianyan got up early and together with the village chief, they prepared the things they needed to go to the back mountain.

Flashlight, lighter, matches, wicks, two hatchets, some biscuits and a few bottles of water.

After that, Shi Xie specially requested ground yellow paper, cinnabar, brush, and red string.

"I didn't expect that you are also in this line of business, but this line of work must be dangerous, and you must not fight recklessly, and do what you can. As the old saying goes, if you keep green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

The village chief handed the backpacks full of things to Shi Xie and Shi Lin respectively, and said with emotion.

"Rest assured, the village chief, we will do what we can."

Shi Xie nodded, grateful for the convenience the village head brought to them, and stretched out his hand to pull Xia Yao who was deeply reluctant to part with Xiao Shen He Bi.This trip was dangerous, although Shi Xie didn't want Xia Yao to follow, but Sigui didn't know if he could touch ordinary utensils, if he tried rashly, Shi Xie might make Sigui lose its effectiveness, and it would really be a waste of money.

"Xiao Shen and Bi Shen will be entrusted to you first."

"Leave it to me"

Regarding Shi Xie's entrustment, the village head naturally nodded repeatedly.

"Dad, you must come back quickly."

Hearing that Shi Xie and the others were leaving, Xiao Shen rushed towards Shi Xie like a small cannonball, stretched out his arms to hug his thigh, and said with red eyes.

"Well, you and your brother are obedient and will take you home when we come back."

Shi Xie bent down and comforted Xiao Shen with a rare soft voice, and gently rubbed his soft hair with his big palm.

"Well! Little Shen and little brother will be obedient, and then wait for you to come back and take us home."

"car"

dagger

Shi Xie finally pinched Xiao Shen's face, stood up, and looked at He Bishen who was being pulled by Xia Yao and was talking.

"Father."

"Bishen, don't run around with Xiao Shen."

"Father I know, my brother and I will wait for you to come back together."

He Bishen's tone was firm, but tears were also shining in his eyes. Shi Xie rubbed his head, pulled Xia Yao towards Baili Qianyan and Shi Lin who were already waiting for them outside.

"You must be careful."

The village chief took one of them to the door and looked at their backs and shouted anxiously.

"Father, mother, woo woo woo..."

Xiao Shen's tears finally fell when Shi Xie and the others disappeared behind a wall.

The chubby hand rubbed his face constantly, and it turned red after a while.

The village chief looked distressed but didn't know what to do. Fortunately, there was another side of He Bishen.

He Bishen reached out and hugged Xiao Shen into his arms, whispering in his ear to comfort him.

"Father and dad will be back soon, we just wait at grandpa's house. I saw a lot of persimmons in the village yesterday, and I'll take you there to pick them later."

"Really...really?"

Xiao Shen raised his head from He Bishen's arms and hiccupped and asked, not knowing whether he was talking about Shi Xie or persimmon.

He Bishen smiled at him, nodded vigorously, and Xiao Shen finally showed a little smile.

Seeing that Xiao Shen finally stopped crying, the village chief hurriedly took the two back home and closed the gate.

"Come into the house quickly, or you will be frozen..."

On the other side, Shi Xie was holding the map given to him by the village head before leaving, and was standing at the entrance of the back mountain to compare the route.

Although the map was drawn by hand, it was drawn very carefully, and even many small details were drawn out after thinking about it. It can be seen that the village head is really familiar with the back mountain.

Xia Yao was wrapped up like a big zongzi and hugged Shi Xie's arm tightly, as if he was very afraid of this back mountain, Shi Xie had no choice but to reach out and hold Xia Yao's hand to comfort him silently.

"Go this way."

"The back mountain looks gloomy, it's so cold."

Baili Qianyan rubbed his arms. He was also wearing a thick cotton coat, but at the entrance of the back mountain, he still felt the cold wind pouring from his collar and cuffs, which was bitingly cold.

Shi Lin tried his best to hold Baili Qianyan in his arms. Although the effect was minimal, it was better than nothing.

"Let's go."

Shi Xie looked at the unknown mountain forest in front of him with deep eyes, and stepped forward firmly.
