Taoist and dog

The smell of corrupt blood.

It was fishy and sticky, as if the air had become damp.

Xiao Rong covered his nose, the smell seemed familiar, he seemed to have smelled it somewhere, but he couldn't remember clearly...

The smell was getting stronger and stronger, as if something was approaching him, Xiao Rong covered half of his face, even so, there was still sour water in his throat, which almost vomited him up.

At this moment, a bell rang faintly in the house.

Xiao Rong pricked up his ears, and just as he was distinguishing that Lu Qinghe's door opened.

Lu Qinghe only wore one sleeve, and stretched the other half halfway. When he found Xiao Rong looking at him, his hurried steps stopped immediately, "Can you feel it?"

what?

what do you feel?

"Yaoqi, you can feel it too, right?" Lu Qinghe buttoned it up. He knew Xiao Rong's situation very well. Xiao Rong's sleepiness had never been heavy. He would wake up whenever there was a turmoil. Now he was obviously awakened. It's gone, and it's not very comfortable. The half of the face and hands that are blocked are not the same color anymore, they are so white that they die.

Demonic?

The stench suddenly became a little heavier, penetrated the palm of his hand and entered Xiao Rong's nostrils, interrupting his thoughts, Xiao Rong vomited twice, and when he suppressed the overwhelming feeling, the smell faded a little.

That thing seems to be gone.

Lu Qinghe narrowed his eyes, picked up the iron chain wrapped around the stool with his toes, and when the iron chain was in his hands, he had already walked out of the courtyard.

Xiao Rong was dragged staggeringly, he wanted to push the door open countless times, but now being dragged by Lu Qinghe, he subconsciously grabbed the iron chain and backed away.

The iron chain was pulled into a straight line, Lu Qinghe didn't look at Xiao Rong who was competing with him, "Don't just eat my food, it's time to do work, you follow along."

work?

What work?

Lu Qinghe didn't give him a chance to think deeply, and directly dragged Xiao Rong out of the door.

Outside the door, the silence remained, and the moonlight shone coldly on the bustling street during the day.

Xiao Rong didn't pay attention to the surrounding scenery when he came, and felt strange everywhere he went out.

Lu Qinghe raised his eyes to look at the sky, and when he turned his wrist, a small bell the size of a bean appeared between his fingers.

Lu Qinghe pointed the bell at the entrance of the alley, and turned to a different direction after a while. Xiao Rong looked around and his eyes fell on Lu Qinghe's hand, wondering what this man was doing with his arms raised, when he heard the sound of the bell.

Same sound as before, only more pronounced.

"This way." Lu Qinghe put down his hand, grabbed the iron chain and walked in the direction of the bell.

Xiao Rong had no chance of refusing, so he trot passively, but he found that the road Lu Qinghe was walking was exactly the direction that the stench was coming from.

……

"It's like this again." The two rushed all the way, and Lu Qinghe led him around the gate guards with ease and went outside the city.

Lu Qinghe rang the bell that kept ringing, and suddenly fell silent after leaving the city. No matter how Lu Qinghe tried, the bell just didn't make a sound.

Lu Qinghe didn't seem surprised by this, he turned to Xiao Rong as soon as he put the bell away, "Can you still feel it?"

Xiao Rong moved his nose, the smell faded, but he could still smell the stench, but he didn't intend to tell Lu Qinghe.

Lu Qinghe hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile that was not a smile, and he breathed out slowly towards the sky. Before he breathed out, he suddenly dragged Xiao Rong in front of him. The two of them were close to each other. His face was almost close to Lu Qinghe's.

Lu Qinghe's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his calm voice was like frozen ice, "Why, you haven't become a monster yet, and you want to protect your fellow clan?"

Xiao Rong pulled Lu Qinghe's hand against Zhang's blushing face due to suffocation and anger, and the latter pulled Xiao Rong's back straight out of the arc, and he pressed Xiao Rong's head with his palm, forcing him to bend over. Looking up at him.

Lu Qinghe lowered his eyes, he likes to see Xiao Rong's unyielding and unable to fight eyes, but now he is not in the mood to appreciate it.

"Do you know what kind of monster I'm looking for? That monster has caused troubles in Liao City for a long time. It only picks up children under the age of one, and flees after being captured. It's hard to find whereabouts. How many people in Liao City can't sleep at night now, How many wet nurses can't cry and blind their eyes when they find their children. I will hunt down demons to eliminate disasters for the people, but you have to keep a secret? Let me ask you again, are you a human or a demon? Are you a human? I will save your life. Are you a demon? , I'm going to get rid of you right now..."

Before Lu Qinghe finished speaking, Xiao Rong raised his arm and pointed in a certain direction.

Lu Qinghe let go, Xiao Rong held his neck with difficulty and took a deep breath.

Just now, Lu Qinghe almost strangled him.

The iron chain was not tightened tightly, but no air could get in.

Lu Qinghe took two steps, then turned around suddenly, pulled Xiao Rong and hid behind the tree.

The iron chains were all wrapped around Lu Qinghe's arms, Xiao Rong supported the tree trunk and wanted to retreat, Lu Qinghe simply took him into his arms, pressed his shoulders tightly and pressed him to the tree.

When he hugged Xiao Rong, the reaction became even bigger, Lu Qinghe touched his face, found his mouth and covered it directly.

"Hmm..." Xiao Rong's eyeballs almost popped out.

"Hush." ​​Lu Qinghe made a very soft voice, he shook his head, signaling Xiao Rong not to make noise.

Xiao Rong no longer struggled, at this moment he suddenly heard the rustling sound of dry grass being trampled, like being blown by the wind, but he could tell it was the sound of footsteps.

He was pinned down by Lu Qing and couldn't move, his eyes looked as far as possible.

Not far behind the tree, there was a man standing on the unsheltered grass.

The moonlight covered the triangular bamboo hats, and the cassocks illuminated were like water, shimmering continuously.

Xiao Rong looked away in surprise, this is the monk who wanted to kill him that day.

"Go back first." Lu Qinghe said.

what?

Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to catch monsters...

"Go back." Lu Qinghe didn't look at the monk again, he pulled Xiao Rong away from the other side.

Xiao Rong walked a few steps with him, his heart was full of what Lu Qinghe said just now, he didn't care about the people Lu Qinghe talked about, what he cared about were the children who were taken away.

He lost his parents since he was a child, and he knows the loneliness and fear of suddenly being left alone in the world.

Why did you leave if you didn't want to save people?

Xiao Rong grabbed the iron chain.

Lu Qinghe stopped, "We'll come tomorrow."

Xiao Rong frowned.

"There are too many people tonight, so it's inappropriate to act." Lu Qinghe didn't use violence to solve the problem, but said to Xiao Rong, "Don't forget what you look like now, there are people looking for monsters everywhere, in case something happens to you Explain, it's not impossible for them to take you on business. With my strength alone, it's hard to keep you safe."

They came here to hunt monsters, and when they met a monster, no matter how good or bad it was, it was a monster after all.

Xiao Rong froze.

He knew that what Lu Qinghe wanted was the monster in his body, and he was not what he wanted to protect, but these words were still like a small stone, thrown into his heart, causing some ripples.

Lu Qinghe gently tugged on the iron chain, "Go home."

Xiao Rong glanced at Lu Qinghe, then walked away sullenly.

The speed of the return trip was much slower, the iron chain was hanging on Lu Qinghe's arm, and he didn't even bother to hold it.Xiao Rong wanted to run, not to mention that the iron chain was cursed by Lu Qing, even without this moment he would not dare, he never wanted to try to get out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den again.

Not safe tonight at least.

Back at Lu Qinghe's hut, Lu Qinghe threw the iron chain on the stool and went to sleep. The iron chain was still wrapped around the stool legs as usual. Close your eyes.

But just as soon as he fell asleep, the door was chiseled, and Xiao Rong sat up straight all of a sudden.

"Ask who it is." Lu Qinghe called lazily inside.

The sleepy Xiao Rong opened his mouth reflexively, and moved his mouth twice before realizing that he couldn't speak.

Xiao Rong: "..."

"Oh yes, I forgot that you're a mute, I'll do it myself." When he said this, Lu Qinghe had already arrived at the door.

Xiao Rong: "..."

He ground his molars, sooner or later he will tear this Taoist priest apart...

"Don't worry, it's coming." Lu Qinghe put on his clothes slowly, put on his shoes, and went to open the door neatly. As soon as the latch was taken off, the door was pushed open.

Xiao Rong saw countless lights, and the clothes illuminated by the lights were not the robes he often saw, but military uniforms.

He knew that these people were soldiers, and they were the most unprovoked people right now.

【small theater】.

Xiao Rong: Sooner or later, I will tear you like bread with my hands.

Lu Qinghe: I don't have any momentum, anyway, you have to tear me like a devil with your hands.

Xiao Rong: How the hell am I hiding mines in my crotch!

Lu Qinghe: I have taken off my trousers, the Taoist priest, I want to check them.

Xiao Rong: ...
