Chapter 148 Escape

However, before Dr. Qian could hide his family, the monster broke into their home through the window.

"Dad! Mom!"

"Old man!"

Doctor Qian saw that it was too late, so he quickly pushed the old woman to the tunnel entrance, stood behind everyone, and shouted, "Don't worry about me, run! Whoever can escape is the best."

How could Old Lady Qian bear to see her old man die, so she simply asked her son and daughter-in-law to take her grandson and run away. Even if she died, she wanted to be with Doctor Qian.

Just as she hugged the old man and closed her eyes, the monster just approached Doctor Qian, and the bracelet on his hand emitted a faint white light.

The monster seemed to sense some danger and turned around and ran away.

Seeing the white light, Dr. Qian lowered his head in shock and looked at the bracelet on his wrist.

This...how is it possible? !

Didn’t that kid named Yu say that this was used to ensure safety in their countryside?

"Aqiu——" Yu Zhongdou turned over in his sleep.

Lili, who was sleeping next to his head, was sprawled out with a bubble the size of a pigeon egg on his nose.

From this, it can be seen that the master and the servant were sleeping soundly and were not awakened at all by the movements of the monsters outside.

But it's also true that people in the slums simply can't afford to stay in an inn. If Yu Zhongdou wants to stay in an inn, he'd naturally stay somewhere farther away from the civilian area.

In the east and west directions, the monsters only move around in the civilian areas, so they naturally cannot affect the rich areas here.

Mrs. Qian waited for a long time but didn't feel any pain. She opened her eyes and saw the old man staring at the bracelet on his hand.

"Why are you staring at that? Where's the monster? Are we dead?"

Doctor Qian: "The monster ran away, but we are still alive. It was this bracelet that saved us just now."

Old Lady Qian: "This bracelet?"

She seemed a little bit unbelieving and didn't understand how this bracelet could save them?

Hearing the screams from next door, Dr. Qian pulled her out of the house and ran towards the monster holding the bracelet.

While running, he shouted to his neighbors on both sides: "Run to me!"

Although the people nearby didn't understand why he shouted like that, some of them still ran over out of trust in him.

Soon someone discovered that whenever the monster ran behind Doctor Qian, it seemed as if it had encountered something and dared not chase it anymore.

So, they rushed towards him as if they had seen a life-saving straw.

…

I heard about Yu Zhongdou the next morning while having breakfast.

His heart skipped a beat and he hurried to Doctor Qian's house.

Half of Doctor Qian's house was destroyed by the monster, but his family's lives were saved. Many neighbors also saved their lives thanks to him.

They were extremely grateful to Dr. Qian and asked him where the treasure came from.

Doctor Qian naturally couldn't tell the truth. He realized how precious the bracelet Yu Zhongdou gave him was, and was worried that it would cause trouble for Yu Zhongdou, so he avoided the topic.

When he saw Yu Zhongdou, Dr. Qian quickly invited him inside and asked his son to keep an eye on the outside.

In the room, Dr. Qian knelt down in front of Yu Zhongdou to thank him for saving his life.

Yu Zhongdou was not willing to accept it and quickly pulled Doctor Qian up: "Why are you thanking me? It wasn't me who saved you, it was this bracelet that saved you."

"This bracelet is so precious! I...I will return it to you." Although he was reluctant, Doctor Qian still took off the bracelet and stuffed it into Yu Zhongdou's hand, saying with tears of gratitude, "I didn't tell anyone that this thing was given to me. Keep it well and don't let anyone find out. It will cause trouble."

Doctor Qian was really afraid that he was young and ignorant, and would talk nonsense everywhere and expose himself.

Yu Zhongdou naturally didn't take it, and said, "This thing is not expensive, a few eggs can be exchanged for a string. I bought it from a caravan, and I bought it specially for you because I know it works. Not only you, I also gave it to Uncle Yan and Chunsheng."

I also emphasized to Doctor Qian that this thing can only drive away monsters below the heavenly level, it has no aggressiveness, and can only be used 10 times.

After using it 10 times, it cracked and was useless.

Doctor Qian felt like cursing when he heard Yu Zhongdou's tone: "10 times is not enough? How unlucky is a person to encounter a monster more than 10 times in his life? We live in this town and as long as we don't go out, we will encounter it more than a few times in our lifetime."

As for the shortcomings like being able to only drive away monsters below the heavenly level and not being aggressive, Doctor Qian really felt that a full man did not know the hunger of a hungry man.

A talisman that can be exchanged for a few eggs, what more do you want?

Want to go to heaven?

I'm afraid that among the town's guards, there are not many people who have such a treasure.

At first, Doctor Qian didn't believe it. He thought Yu Zhongdou said that on purpose in order to get him to accept the gift.

As a result, Yu Zhongdou reached into his pocket and took out a few more strings: "I still have some here! If Uncle Qian wants it, you can come to me to buy it. This can really only drive away the requirements of the level below the Tianpin. It is useless if the level is too high."

Doctor Qian was suddenly speechless.

It turns out that this thing is not really valuable in Yu Zhongdou's hands?

"How much do you have? I want them all."

Yu Zhongdou: "I only brought 50 skewers this time. If you want, I'll bring more next time."

"There will be a next time?!" Doctor Qian was shocked.

Yu Zhongdou: "Yes, I know the people in the caravan."

Doctor Qian: “…This is a treasure!”

"It's okay? It was just made by an ordinary carpenter, and then..." Yu Zhongdou mumbled for a moment, and said, "Burn some incense, worship it properly, and it will be fine after it is blessed by the gods."

"god?!"

Yu Zhongdou glanced outside, pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice, and said: "Uncle Qian, I tell you because I trust you, please don't spread it to others. If those people know about it, I'm afraid someone will cause trouble for the mountain god...

Let me tell you, we met a very kind mountain god, and when He knew we were trapped by monsters, He took the initiative to protect us and helped us drive the monsters out.

In our area, many villages secretly invited the mountain god and built temples for him. As long as the mountain temple is built, basically no monsters can enter..."

Doctor Qian looked shocked, as if he was listening to a fairy tale.

How could there be such a place? !

Isn’t Yu Zhongdou from the countryside?

If he remembered correctly, it was the Niba Eighteenth Village next door.

The reason why it is called Niba Eighteen Village is that when the village was first built, there were only 18 villages in the area, so later everyone got used to calling it that, and it became Niba Eighteen Village.

Now, there are definitely more than 18 villages.

Doctor Qian asked, "He really doesn't want to eat anymore?!"

"Of course it's true. If it wasn't true, why would so many villages invite the mountain god? The mountain god has a kind heart. All you need to do is offer a bowl of water, some food from home, and seasonal wild flowers and fruits... light some incense and candles, and kneel down to worship sincerely, and that's basically it."
