Chapter 28 The Ruined Temple in the Suburbs

Li Deyue said that his face became paler, and he raised his head and looked at them with hopeful eyes, "Several elders, won't the demon fox find me? Will she come to take revenge on me?"

He has been thinking about this for the past few days, and has been afraid to leave the house.

"Since there has been no trouble these few days, you should be safe for the time being." Su Ho comforted.

After they found out it was the demon fox they saw on the outskirts of the city, they went there directly.

"Everything written in the storybook is actually true." Qi Yucheng said in surprise, "The story about the scholar and the demon fox."

It is not new for folks to circulate these strange stories, even Xue Jiaojiao has read a few of them.

"The script may also come from the truth." Xue Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"I just don't know how many people that demon fox has eaten so far." Luo Yiming frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Xue Jiaojiao hummed lightly, Luo Yiming was right, if the demon fox eats many people, it will not be so easy to deal with.

They went all the way to the place where Li De found the demon fox. There was indeed a grass under the low hillside that blocked the view.

The blood had dried and turned black, but they couldn't find it.

Walking along the hillside, I found a dilapidated temple. The crooked plaque was covered with cobwebs, and the handwriting on it became mottled.

"What kind of place is this again?" Suho kicked away the wooden boards in front of the temple, and the dust rose, she waved her hand.

"It looks like it used to be a temple." Qi Yucheng said as he walked in. There was a Buddha statue in the middle of the hall, and the original appearance could not be seen.

Xue Jiaojiao is also looking at this place, it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time, and the musty smell in the air is very strong.

The candles on the candlesticks were completely covered by spider webs, and a thick layer of ash had accumulated on the altar.

On the other side of the corner, there was a straw mat, which looked like traces of human habitation.

"who are you?"

A head protruded from behind the big table enshrining the idol, and the little girl looked at them suspiciously.

Qi Yucheng quickly said, "We just came here unintentionally."

An old man faltering came out from behind the little girl, with his hand on her shoulder and the other hand leaning on a cane.

"Ayao, it's okay."

The little girl named A Yao helped the old man walk over.

"What are the nobles doing here?" The old man looked at them with cloudy eyes.

Xue Jiaojiao asked: "Old man, do you live here?"

In this temple, only the vicinity of the straw mat is clean.

The old man shook his head and said, "No, my granddaughter Ayao and I just arrived here the day before yesterday. We had no place to rest, so we had to stay in this temple."

Hearing what the old man said, Xue Jiaojiao asked hesitantly, "Didn't you hear that there are demon foxes around here?"

Although the people in Chiling City didn't quite believe Yaohu Yi's words, but at least the story got out, why did the grandpa and grandson stay in this ruined temple so much.

"What demon fox? You don't say this to scare my grandpa!" A Yao glared at them, her tone a little bit bad.

"Ayao." The old man's voice raised a little, "Don't blame me, Ayao just has a bit of a temper."

Xue Jiaojiao hurriedly said it was all right.

"We came from Lincheng. We have never heard that there are demon foxes here. If this is the case, then we will leave as soon as possible."

A Yao said with some dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, your body can't walk now, you can rest for two more days."

The old man was about to speak, but Xue Jiaojiao spoke first.

"Since it's inconvenient to move around, let's stay here with you."

Xue Jiaojiao asked other people for their opinions, and they all said it was okay.

Of course it would be a good thing if the demon fox could be resolved as soon as possible.

A Yao pursed her lips and said thank you.

In the next few days, nothing happened, but Ayao's grandfather became more and more ill.

Xue Jiaojiao and the others wanted to send him to the medical clinic in the city, but the old man stubbornly refused to go.

He only held A Yao's hand and said, "A Yao, I won't delay you any longer. When I go west, you should leave quickly."

His lifespan was already at the end of his life, these few days have been stolen, but Ayao is still so young.

Hearing this, A Yao cried with red eyes, and refused to say anything, no matter how much she persuaded the old man, she was unwilling to go to the medical clinic.

Qi Yucheng scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do.

Luo Yiming leaned aside and watched, as if he was thinking of his parents.

The old man looked at Xue Jiaojiao as he spoke, "I give up this face, and hope that you will send A Yao away safely."

"We will." Xue Jiaojiao agreed.

The old man died half a month later, and his body was exhausted after all.

In the past half a month, not to mention a demon fox, not even a wild fox that has not yet transformed, the four of them felt very strange.

This task was assigned, but it seemed to be fake.

They helped A Yao bury the old man and set up a tombstone in front of the grave.

A Yao was wearing plain white sackcloth, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"We'll send you away tomorrow." Xue Jiaojiao decided to send the little girl away first, and then talk about the demon fox.

A Yao whispered, "Thank you."

Su Ho felt sad for a while. This little girl who lost her only relative still doesn't know how to survive in the future.

All they could do was give A Yao some money.

After the old man was buried, they returned to the temple to settle down.

Several people comforted A Yao in turn, and then they didn't speak anymore.

On the contrary, Luo Yiming looked worried and said a few more words to A Yao.

A Yao looked at him with red and swollen eyes, sobbing softly.

"Thank you. Fortunately, I met you. The kindness and virtue of the elders will never be forgotten by Ayao."

"It's okay." Luo Yiming lowered his head, thinking of his parents who were killed by the Immortal Killer.

At that time, Qu Qingci also took him to bury his parents.

The sky soon darkened, and Xue Jiaojiao was standing at the gate of the temple. She had traveled around the city and went back to Chiling City, but she didn't see any foxes.

This is really strange.

The moon was hidden behind the clouds tonight, Xue Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy.

As the night deepened, they had no choice but to rest first and take turns to watch the night.

A Yao opened her bewildered eyes and got up, going to the toilet.

It didn't take long before he ran back in horror and grabbed Luo Yiming's clothes.

The other three fell asleep, and now it was Luo Yiming who kept watch.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her pale face, Luo Yiming couldn't help but wonder.

A Yao whispered: "I saw a few people approaching this way, Immortal Chief, do you want to go out and have a look?"

A Yao's voice was still trembling when she spoke.

Luo Yiming thought of the demon fox, and looked at the three sleeping people beside him. He stretched out his hand and pushed Qi Yucheng, but there was no response, so he had to give up and go out to have a look before coming back.

"I'll go with you." A Yao looked up at him.

"It's too dangerous, you should stay here." Luo Yiming said disapprovingly.
