The next day, Ximen Qing woke up as soon as the sky became dim.There was no way, the cave was wet and cold, and he didn't sleep well all night.

When he moved his body a little, he felt a burning pain in his back, and his throat hurt badly even if he touched it with his hand, it must be swollen.

Clearing his throat, he tried to make a sound, his throat was a little sore, and his voice was a little hoarse, but fortunately he could still speak, otherwise he would definitely regret it.

Holding on to the rock wall of the cave, he walked out of the cave slowly and walked towards Qinghe County with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As he walked, he looked around with his eyes to see if there was anyone going to the county town or a car that could take him for a ride.He was injured and walked on his feet. He didn't know when he would be able to reach the county seat.

But now the sky is not bright yet, and here is the wilderness again, no one passes by, there may be a few mice.

Feeling a little sad, Ximen Qing walked slowly.

At this moment, a red shadow flashed in front of him, like a red animal.

The red animal was fast, and it was about to disappear in front of the eyes. A feather arrow pierced through the air and was piercing the red animal. The red animal rolled to the ground in an instant, stopped moving, and I don't know whether it is dead or alive.

Someone here?Ximen Qing hurriedly looked in the direction of the feather arrow, and saw a person walking out of the morning light.

The man has a strong figure, a waist and shoulders, and strong facial features. He is wearing a robe that exposes half of his shoulders.

The man also saw Ximen Qing, he was a little surprised, and when he turned his face again, he saw the red animal that was shot by the feather arrow next to him, and his face showed joy.

"Cunning thing!" As he said, he walked up to the red animal in three steps at a time. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the animal with the arrow.

At this moment, Ximen Qing saw clearly the appearance of the animal in his hand. With its two furry ears, slender eyes, and pointed mouth, it was clearly a fox, and it was a fox with fiery red fur.

This kind of fox is really rare. Look at its smooth and smooth fur without any stray hairs. It is estimated that there will not be such a fox among ten thousand foxes. It is still red. If it is seen by those noble ladies, it is estimated I'm going to grab my head.This is something purely legendary.

Legendary stuff?fox?Red Fox!Ximen Qing's eyes lit up instantly, staring at the fox became more and more fiery, so hot that no one else could ignore it.

The man holding the fox looked at the fox in his hand, then at Ximen Qing, and suddenly he clasped his fists together, showing his white teeth with a smile, "Brother, do you like this fox?"

Ximen Qing regained consciousness in an instant, nodded with a smile, and shook his head again.

The person on the opposite side didn't understand what Ximen Qing meant, so he said, "My name is Wu Song, and I'm from Qinghe County. If we meet, we will be destined. If you really like this fox, I'll give it to you."

"My name is Ximenqing, and I'm from Qinghe County." After introducing himself, Ximenqing changed the subject, staring at the fox in Wu Song's hand, and said jokingly, "This fox's fur is so beautiful, it should be worth a lot Silver, you just give it to me?"

The reason why Ximenqing asked this was because he saw that the clothes Wu Song was wearing were not good, and he didn't look like a wealthy family. This fox fur was a lot of wealth to him.

He had never met him before, so he gave him the fox fur as soon as they met, how could he not be surprised.

"I, Wu Song, have never said anything. If I say give it to you, I will give it to you. What does it have to do with money?" Wu Song seemed a little angry when Ximen Qing mentioned money, and thrust the fox into Ximen Qing's hand.

Ximen Qing stroked the fox's soft fur with his hands, raised his head and said with a smile, "Foxes are very cunning, and you managed to catch them. It shows that you are a person with real skills, which is really admirable."

Wu Song was praised by Ximen Qing, and the unhappiness just disappeared immediately. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Although this beast is cunning, it is a beast after all. I have been guarding here for these days. If I still can't catch It is also too useless."

"Oh, you've been guarding it?"

"Yes, this beast is very cunning. Knowing that I have been guarding its lair, it has never come out. I just took a nap today, and it ran out. Fortunately, I was on guard, otherwise I would have told it to run away It's gone." Wu Song said with lingering fear.

"You are also from Qinghe County, why have I never seen you? My family is also in Qinghe County, and my father opened a raw medicine shop called Jishengtang." Ximenqing did not answer after hearing Wu Song's words, but Asked something irrelevant.

"Ah?" Wu Song couldn't keep up with Ximenqing's thinking, so he said after a while, "My family lives in Hulu Lane, and there are only my brother and me in the house. My brother sells cooking cakes. I usually... usually have nothing to do. You can do it, you should not know me."

He was startled when he said this, "Jishengtang is run by your family! I know Jishengtang, the owner of Jishengtang is a good person, unlike Guangshuntang, who specializes in defrauding the common people."

"I don't dare to do it. But my father always told me that selling medicine is a conscience, and we at Jishengtang will never do anything to offend our conscience." Ximen Qing said with a smile.

"Well said, there are too few people like you in this world. Just because of your words, this fox is worth giving you." Wu Song looked admiring.

Ximen Qing shook his head, "Do you know why I came here? Also, what happened to the injury on my neck?" As he spoke, he pointed to his own neck.

Wu Song had noticed the wound on Ximen Qing's neck a long time ago, it was a very obvious pinch mark.

Ximen Qing was dressed in silk and satin, and looked very noble. At first glance, he looked like a son of a wealthy family. At this time, he appeared in this wilderness with such injuries. Wu Song said it was not surprising that it was fake, but he never had a chance to ask.

"Why?" Wu Song answered.

After the few words just now, Ximen Qing had a thorough understanding of Wu Song's character and family background, so he told the lie he just made up without any scruples.

"Do you know about the tragedy of Zhixian's family? All 36 members of Zhixian's family were killed overnight. The county even sent imperial envoys to investigate the case."

Wu Song nodded, "Who doesn't know such a big thing!"

"Then do you know that in order to take revenge, Su Yanei, who survived the disaster, staged a battle in Wanliubei and invited the murderer?"

"What else? I've been guarding here for the past few days, and I don't know! By the way, has the murderer come?" Wu Song was more concerned about this matter.

"It's coming, but the murderer is not a human at all, but a monster, and a monster you have seen before." Ximen Qing said firmly.

"Demon? I've seen it before. What do you mean?" Wu Song was a bit confused as a monk.

Ximen Qing saw that he was more straightforward than intelligent, so he stopped playing riddles with him, shook the fox in his hand, and said, "This is the murderer who killed the magistrate's family, a vixen."

After finishing speaking, he patted Wu Song on the shoulder and praised: "Brother, you have eliminated harm for the people. If this vixen is not eliminated, I don't know how many people will be harmed by it in the future. You are the hero of our Qinghe County , Great hero."

"Gao Yanei is in charge of this matter now, you come back with me now, I told Gao Yanei that he will definitely reward you well, and the people in Qinghe County will definitely be grateful to you."

Ximen Qing gave Wu Song one after another high hats, which made Wu Song unable to react.

Seeing that Ximen Qing was really pulling him to the county seat, he quickly broke away from Ximen Qing and said anxiously: "This fox is really the murderer of the county magistrate's family. I'm afraid you made a mistake! I have been guarding this fox den for the past few days. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary."

"I'm not mistaken, it's this fox. I just asked you, do you know why I'm here, and what happened to the wound on my neck? It's actually because of this fox.

Yesterday, Gao Yanei led us to wait for the murderer at Wanliupo. We set up a net, which was foolproof, but because the murderer was a demon, he ran away in the end.

However, fortunately, I drugged it there. Anyone or a demon, as long as they have been there, will leave a smell on their body, and then I can follow the smell to find that person.

This is indeed the case. Last night I was chasing the fragrance to come here. I happened to meet the murderer and started fighting with the murderer. The wound on my neck was also left at that time.

Then this fox was poisoned by me, and it didn't look good, and finally turned into a fiery red fox and disappeared.I searched all night and couldn't find it. I didn't expect it to run back to its lair and be caught by you.

As for why you haven't found anything abnormal after so many days of guarding, of course, the fox was not in the den at all, it ran away when you didn't notice it, and ran back yesterday.

If you don't believe it, you can smell the fox for a scent. "Ximen Qing said, handing the fox to Wu Song.

Wu Song took the fox and sniffed it carefully, and found that besides a foul smell, there was indeed a vague fragrance on the fox.

"This fox is really a monster. He is the murderer who killed the county magistrate's family?" After smelling the scent, and seeing Ximen Qing's words with such certainty, Wu Song already half-believed.

"Of course. You come with me to the post station now, and you will know everything there." Ximen Qing said firmly.

Wu Song loved to practice martial arts since he was a child, but his elder brother and neighbors all thought he was doing nothing.

If they are good, they will persuade him to start a business, start a small business, and support their families. Feeling hopeless.

Now he suddenly and inexplicably became the hero in Ximen Qing's mouth, a great hero, and he had to meet Gao Yanei, all of which made him feel unreal, like he was dreaming.

"Actually, I also killed this fox by accident. I really shouldn't..." Wu Song shied away.

"All of this will be decided when we get to the station." Ximen Qing didn't give him a chance to speak, and dragged him away.

Wu Song had no choice but to follow him.

According to Ximen Qing's intention, they had better go to the post station immediately to deal with all these matters, so as to avoid long nights and dreams, but his body did not allow it at all.

There was a burning pain in his back and chest, and the road under his feet was very difficult. Now every step he took was very difficult for him, which made him have to walk slower and slower.

At this time, Wu Song finally developed his abnormality, reached out to take the fox in his hand, Wu Song bent down, and motioned him to get on his back, and he carried him.

Ximenqing looked at Qinghe County in the distance, then looked at his own body, and decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, so he stretched out his hand and lay on Wu Song's back.

Wu Song walked like flying with him on his back, and in a short time he went down the mountain bag and came to Wanliupo. After passing Wanliupo, Qinghe County is located.

At this time, the sun had risen, the city gate was wide open, and people could be seen coming in and out of the city gate from a distance.

Seeing passers-by, Ximen Qing no longer asked Wu Song to carry him on his back, as it would damage his image.Let Wu Song mix with him, but he didn't go home, and went straight to the post station in Qinghe County.
