Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 17: Go home

Qianxue Mountain, next to a mountain spring.

A bonfire casts a warm yellow light.

Lu Tong took a cold bath, applied medicine to his wounds, and sat next to the fire to rest.

Feeling the blazing warmth from the flames, every part of my body feels comfortable.

A pot of mushroom and dried bean soup was boiling on the fire, supported by tree branches, and a few plain pancakes were baked.

Lu Tong prepared a lot of dry food when he came to Qianxue Mountain.

Dried mushrooms, dried tofu, vegetarian noodles, meat cakes, dried meat, dried salted fish...

But after moving corpses all day today, he really has no appetite for meat.

The surface of the dough is toasted to a golden brown, giving off an alluring aroma of wheat.

Lu Tong pulled out a branch and tore off the brown layer on the surface. A white mist of hot steam came out of the snow-white dough underneath.

When you take one bite, the surface is crispy and the mouthful is full of caramel aroma after chewing twice.

This was not the most sumptuous meal he had ever had in the world, but it was the most satisfying.

The sound of movement came from the direction of the mountain spring.

Lu Tong smiled and said: "Si'er, come and eat the cake. I guarantee you have never tasted such a delicious cake."

A figure in white rushed to the fire in two steps, snatched away a pancake, turned around and jumped two feet away.

Lu Tong looked at the bare tree branches, then looked at the figure standing in the distance eating cake, and said: "If you want to eat, just ask. Taking without telling is stealing, and taking without permission is robbing. You are Thief or bandit?"

The figure opposite could not clearly see his appearance, only that he was very short.

He is only a little over three feet tall, but he is very skilled, taking one step at a time. He must have practiced the light body technique.

"I'm not a thief!"

The little man seemed to be irritated and shouted loudly.

Lu Tong laughed, shook his head and said, "You stole my cake and you still say you're not a thief?"

"Everything in the world belongs to whoever has the ability to get it! This cake entered my mouth, it's just that you didn't have the ability to watch it."

The little man's voice was high-pitched and childish. I couldn't tell whether he was male or female, but I could only tell he was young.

After hearing his "reason", Lu Tong felt that it was very unreasonable.

Although this cake was not made by him, it was bought with money.

The silver was for running a teahouse, but it was not from bird feathers and hooves. The silver for hooves and bird feathers was stolen from murderers.

Kill people and take money?

This...

Thinking about it at the end, Lu Tong suddenly felt that what this little guy said seemed to make sense.

"Come and sit, there is fresh soup in the pot."

The little man didn't know why Lu Tong's attitude suddenly changed, but he still walked to the campfire and sat down without fear.

Under the firelight, Lu Tong finally saw his appearance clearly.

Thin arms and thin legs, the arms are very long and can hang below the knees when standing.

The mouth is slightly protruding and has a monkey face.

What is particularly eye-catching is that he has a pair of very long white eyebrows.

The snow-white eyebrows hang down from the corners of the eyes and end close to the corners of the mouth, like the old Taoist priests in the illustrations in the book.

Lu Tong asked: "What do you call it?"

"Through the clouds."

Lu Tong looked at the long sword he carried behind his back.

Most of the long sword's blade protrudes above his head. If his arms were not longer than ordinary people, he would not be able to reach the hilt.

Lu Tong asked curiously: "Did your name come from the Cloud Piercing Sword you memorized?"

The Cloud-Piercing Sword is the most common entry-level weapon. Almost every household in Yunying City has this kind of sword.

There are even two in the stone house in the backyard of the teahouse. The stone house collapsed and they are still pressed under the stone.

Chuanyun didn’t know why, but his face suddenly turned red and he said fiercely: “I want you to take care of it!”

After speaking, he took out a broken bowl from his waist and started to scoop soup from the pot.

"Wait."

Lu Tong quickly called him.

The white robe Chuanyun wore was dirty, and the broken bowl he took out was definitely not clean.

"What, you regretted it?"

Lu Tong shook his head and said: "What's wrong with a bowl of soup? You haven't added salt yet."

He took out the condiments and sprinkled some, then took out the spoons, bowls and chopsticks, filled three bowls and placed them by the fire.

"One bowl is enough for me."

Lu Tong smiled and pointed behind Chuanyun.

Dian Si'er had just returned from washing up at the mountain spring and was standing next to Chuanyun curiously.

Chuanyun knew that he was thinking too much and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Under the firelight, the monkey's face turned as red as a monkey's butt.

……

Lu Tong stayed in Qianxue Mountain for three more days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, when the sky was dim, he went alone to the burial ground and collected the blood beetles.

He was greatly surprised by the size and number of blood beetles.

After the morning sun fully rose, he woke up Dian Si'er with full joy and set off back to Yunying City together.

At the foot of Qianxue Mountain.

After Lu Tong and Dian Si'er showed the remaining marks on their hands, they each received a return document.

Most of the surviving monsters and half-demon returned to Yunying City three days ago.

In addition to the monsters who plan to stay in Qianxue Mountain, those who are left now also have some unlucky ones who are seriously injured and unable to go on their way.

There is an empty space on the roadside.

A large group of monsters and half-demon lie on the ground, waiting for the free healing medicine that Yiyi Sect distributes every day.

When Lu Tong passed by, he saw a familiar figure. After a moment of consideration, he changed direction and walked towards the injured half-demon.

"Do you remember me?"

The half-demon lying on the ground was very weak and looked at Lu Tong weakly tilting his head.

Lu Tongtong: "We were defending in one place. When the fog monster attacked for the first time, you were the first to rush forward."

Every part of the half-demon on the ground is humanoid, with strong muscles all over.

The only special thing is that there is a layer of black and yellow tiger skin on the surface of the body.

Encountering the fog monster for the first time, Lu Tong was the first to use fire rain to disperse the gray fog.

There were other half-demon attacks around, but the first one who dared to rush forward and fight hand-to-hand was the half-demon with the blood of the tiger demon in front of him.

But his current situation is a bit miserable.

One left arm is missing and one left leg is broken. Even if the injury is healed, it will be basically useless.

The half-demon didn’t react at all after hearing this. His eyes were still weak, gray, dead, and a little bit angry.

Lu Tong took out a bottle of wound medicine, squatted down and uncovered the **** rag on his broken leg.

An unpleasant stench hit his face, and the wound under the rag had begun to fester. If not treated in time, his left leg would not be saved.

Lu Tong took out a short knife and cut off the rotten flesh with several cuts. After pouring the wound medicine, he wrapped the wound with a rag wrapped in plain bread.

"What's your name?"

The half-demon looked at Lu Tong with some confusion, wondering why this human-looking half-demon wanted to save him. ~IndoMTL.com~Big Tiger. ”

Lu Tong asked: "I have a shop in the city. I take care of food and housing. If you do well, you will be rewarded. How about you follow me?"

Tea taverns don’t make a lot of money.

These days, he has almost figured out what to do when he returns, but he still needs some help.

Especially the helpers who dare to fight and kill.

Dahu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard. He raised his left shoulder and asked, "I'm missing an arm..."

"Cut the nonsense."

Lu Tong understood what Dahu wanted to say, which was nothing more than nonsense like I am a useless person and what should I do.

He said directly: "Follow me and stand up!"

Dahu gritted his teeth, turned over and tried to stand up, but fell to the side.

The broken wound on his left shoulder touched the soil on the ground. Dahu was trembling in pain, and a lot of drool flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Dian Si'er bent down and wanted to help Dahu up.

Lu Tong grabbed Dian Si'er and stood there waiting for Dahu to stand up on his own.

Dahu lay on the ground and breathed heavily.

After a long time, Dahu put his forehead on the ground, raised his body with his right elbow and knelt on the ground, and then stood up little by little with his good right leg.

"Very good."

Lu Tong threw the remaining medicine to him and said with a smile: "But the name is not very good. There is already a 'big man' in the store. You can call him Erhu from now on."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Dian Si'er looked at Erhu curiously and didn't understand why Lu Tong took in this half-demon.

Erhu stared at Lu Tong's back, holding the medicine bottle tightly in his hand.

After a while, he bit off the cork, poured the remaining medicine on the wound, threw away the bottle, and limped after him.
