Li Sui Town News 9
The situation became extremely serious. Chu Li's thoughts were in a mess, and the sharp sound lingering in his ears made it impossible for him to think too much.
She instinctively clenched the sachet in her hand.
The baby's cries continued, and Chu Li, sitting on the ground, struggled to maintain her balance. She supported herself on the platform, searching for something solid with her back. During the meal, her eyes fell on the two people across from her.
Under the wildly flickering firelight, Jiang Xizhi's face was pale. The man who was always well-dressed was now disheveled. His calm eyes were now filled with panic.
You Chengze, on the other side, was in better shape than Jiang Xizhi. He clutched the wooden stake tightly in his right palm, and with his left, he cradled the Samoyed, forcing it into his arms. But a closer look revealed the same panic on his pale face.
"Chu Li! What are you still daydreaming about?"
Jiang Xizhi's voice brought Chu Li back to his wandering thoughts.
Although it didn't sound very clear, it was indeed urgent at the moment.
Chu Li lowered her left hand, which had been used to defend herself, and her gaze fell anxiously on the brocade pouch. With a sudden burst of determination, she tore open the pouch, revealing a yellow talisman paper.
There were incomprehensible runes drawn on the paper. Chu Li held the paper as if he was holding a hot potato.
What to do?
She hadn't learned any strange rune spells.
Chu Li's mind was in a state of confusion at the moment, and as he was carrying the hopes of two other people on his shoulders, he became increasingly anxious.
After a while, the talisman paper in his hand suddenly generated a brute force.
Chu Li was startled, and then she saw a white light coming out from her fingertips. She subconsciously closed her eyes.
In an instant, a breeze blew on my face, and the baby's cry lingering in my ears roared in the air, almost piercing my eardrum and causing my organ to explode.
Chu Li subconsciously raised his hands to cover his ears, even though this action had no effect.
As soon as it touched his ear, the crying suddenly became quieter.
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a yellow talisman paper leaping into the air in the white light, and suddenly stuck tightly to the rock wall in the mountains.
In the empty space, white light and darkness formed two barriers, intersecting in the air and confronting each other head-on. The strong wind they brought up almost caused the lift platform to topple over.
Chu Li used his elbows to block in front of him, and the stalemate lasted for a long time. The strong wind and the strange and terrifying baby crying sound disappeared in an instant.
When he lowered his hand again, the talisman paper disappeared and the night returned to its previous tranquility.
Chu Li thought of You Chengze and Mao Rongrong behind him and turned around immediately.
A man and a dog sat on the ground.
You Chengze's expression didn't reflect the embarrassment of his predicament. His slender hands rhythmically stroked the frightened Samoyed. The man's deep, bottomless eyes were fixed on him.
Tired and long.
Chu Li inexplicably felt that he wanted to say something.
"That's great." Jiang Xizhi sighed and interrupted what Chu Li was about to say.
She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xizhi who was taking care of his clothes, and asked, "What's so good?"
This guy might have an M constitution. He actually enjoyed such a painful scene just now?
Jiang Xizhi had no idea what Chu Li was thinking. He straightened his face slightly, gave him a gentle smile, and explained after a while, "My dear guest, you may not know that Lisui Town has been suffering from the torment of crying babies for many years."
Hearing this, Chu Li couldn't help but frown. "But isn't there a talisman? Why is he still being tortured? According to you... it will never end, and there's a possibility that it will come back again?"
If that's the case, then we're in big trouble.
Her spirit pet, she, You Chengze, and even the people in Lisui Town will probably be attacked again.
"If it were in the past, we would have to be on guard. But this time, with the presence of our distinguished guests, the situation has been completely resolved."
"What's the meaning?"
How could she be so great?
"The talisman I just gave you is actually a life-saving talisman my father left me." Jiang Xizhi paused, lost in memory. "He knew long ago that the sounds of babies crying could be heard in the mountains, and he had thought of a way to make them disappear completely. But with the death of his pets and his advancing age, he was unable to summon them again. He had no choice but to use up his last bit of energy and leave the talisman behind."
"This talisman is different from the one I saw in Youningyuan before. It is mainly targeted at this crying sound."
"A piece of talisman paper has depleted half of his energy, and he can no longer use it." Jiang Xizhi looked at Chu Li and explained slowly, "Talisman paper can only be used by the Master of Spirit Pet Summoning. Our town has been waiting for this day, but we didn't expect it to come so soon."
I see.
Chu Li's thoughts gradually became clear, and the big stone hanging in his heart also fell.
The storm subsided, and the rest of the journey was safe. The platform rose steadily, and after about ten minutes, it finally stopped.
Chu Li and others arrived at their destination.
The situation at the top of the mountain is better than at the foot of the mountain. Everywhere you look, you can see lush trees standing in front of a building with their thick branches.
There are weeds everywhere, but they are neatly arranged, as if they have been carefully tended by someone.
Not far away, the building next to the big tree was surrounded by darkness. The splendor and brilliance on the eaves and walls instantly lost their color, but intertwined with the darkness, it still exuded the owner's luxury and indulgence.
"wrong."
"What's wrong?" Chu Li's gaze fell on Jiang Xizhi.
His brows were furrowed, his normally calm face was filled with worry, and fear filled the depths of his pupils.
"Although I haven't been to the top of the mountain for a long time, I still remember what the building looked like before." Jiang Xizhi looked at the magnificent corner, "In the past, this was just a small wooden house. How could there be such a magnificent building?!"
These words gradually magnified Chu Li's uneasiness.
She was right in her guess. There was someone living on the top of the mountain. Not only did this person cut off contact with the people living down the mountain, he also made several fortunes. Otherwise, where would he get the money to build such a luxurious building?
Chu Li thought to himself and started walking towards the building.
"Where are you going?"
You Chengze's voice sounded at the right time.
"There's something wrong here. I have to go check it out." Chu Li glanced at Jiang Xizhi and said to You Chengze, "He's not in good condition. You keep an eye on him while I check on him. If I don't come out in half an hour, bring your spirit pet to find me. It has a keen sense of smell and won't make any mistakes."
After saying that, Chu Li didn't wait for the man to reply.
The next second, she remembered something, walked closer to him, and her eyes fell on the Samoyed in his arms.
Chu Li curved his lips into a smile, raised his hand to touch the Samoyed's head, and whispered, "Little darling, it's up to you from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Li turned around and walked straight towards the building.
Behind her, You Chengze frowned impatiently.
He lowered his eyes, looked at the Samoyed's sparkling eyes, and said helplessly: "Your master is the stupidest idiot in the world."
The Samoyed seemed to understand and barked a few times in response.
-
"Boss, something happened!"
"What's up?"
"The crying of babies in the mountains has inexplicably stopped. I suspect someone has reached the top!"
"You're lying with your eyes open! Those cowards from Lisui Town have never dared to come up the mountain in all these years. I think you haven't had a good rest recently, so you're hallucinating!"
On the thick branches, Chu Li used the leaves as cover and moved forward cautiously.
Directly below, a group of men in their fifties and sixties, dressed in fine silks, sat around a table, sometimes chatting, sometimes drinking a little wine.
The man in the lead was a bit bloated, with a gold necklace around his neck, a ring between his thumbs, and his wrists full of gold and silver jewelry, looking like a nouveau riche.
"Boss, the vigilance in this Lisui town is extremely strong. We can't trick the children into going up the mountain again."
"Why are you panicking? We still have plenty on hand. If all else fails, just sell those young animals."
"Boss, you're wise!" the younger brother praised him servilely, adding, "On Xumi Continent, pets with spiritual powers are the most popular. These little bastards actually dared to break in here and rescue people. They need to be sold to the hunters in the South District and taught a lesson."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Chu Li's heart was in turmoil and he completely lost his composure.
She heard it right, these furry creatures were probably her own family members.
So you came here to save the child. Fortunately nothing happened.
Chu Li looked worriedly at the seven or eight burly men under the tree. If it was just the leader, she could at least find a way to break through. But now the leader and his subordinates were all gathered together. If she jumped down from here, she would undoubtedly be seeking death.
What should she do?
Chu Li's thoughts were in a mess, and his white hands were tightly clasped together.
"Boss, I'm going to take food to those kids."
"Go ahead, but don't starve yourself too much, or you won't be able to sell it for a good price."
Damn, these people are such beasts. They either sell children for money or sell spirit pets.
Chu Li cursed inwardly and looked at the figure of her younger brother leaving. She made up her mind, climbed down the tree swiftly, and followed closely behind the younger brother who delivered the food.
The younger brother was completely unaware of the person behind him. He hummed a new tune, holding the plate, and leisurely made a few strange turns before stopping in front of the woodshed behind him.
Chu Li also stopped and hid in the shadows.
The younger brother put down the plate in his hand, fumbled for the key from his body and unlocked the door.
When she was done, she picked up the plate and strode inside.
Chu Li followed without hesitation. When she was near the door, she stopped and leaned forward slightly.
Just one glance and it feels like being in an ice cellar.
Inside the house, groups of children had their hands shackled and their skin was covered with purple whip marks. Feeling the ferocity of the people coming, the children huddled in the corner.
At the head of the group was an older girl who looked somewhat familiar.
She was very scared, but still stretched out her arms and protected her little brother and sister behind her.
Chu Li shifted his gaze downwards and spotted a few fur balls at the little girl's feet. They were dirty, but not injured. Seeing the little girl blocking the way, they took small steps forward, ready to attack.
With just a glance, Chu Li immediately recognized that this was the furry creature she had been looking for for a long time.
