Today's rain is much shorter than yesterday's, and it stopped after a short time, but the temperature is a little cooler because of the rain.

Feeling the coldness, Ji Yuan fumbled and put on a piece of clothing left by the foot merchant, and then put on the coat again.

Yesterday, I learned from the conversation of the foot merchant that it should be early spring, and the weather is normal, but the two rains encountered by Ji Yuan did not have the meaning of spring rain.

It's just that when I woke up today, it was already quite late, and now the rain stopped and it was almost evening, and it was dark in the mountains very quickly, and now the road was slippery, and Ji Yuan was not allowed to have the courage to go down the mountain.

There is no footman tonight, that is, there is no fire to keep warm.

"Hey......"

Ji Yuan sighed a little, pessimistic about his future and fate, and at present, he can only hope that tomorrow will be clear and the sky will be clear, and he can create some advantageous conditions for his pathetic visibility.

Indeed, as Ji Yuan expected, it got dark very quickly in the mountains, and after a while, it was already gray, and he was a little cowardly when it was almost night, and he didn't dare to sit in front of the god case as during the day, and he went behind the original god statue.

The red fox, who was originally hiding from the rain in the temple, didn't know when he had left.

Ji Yuan's mood now is a little more worried than the day before, after all, he is alone, and he only took the tiger spirit away last night, so he shouldn't react in just one day.

That is, after dozing off, Ji Yuan was disturbed by a new noise, and it was not dark yet, and some voices came from the mountain road in the distance.

Ji Yuan suddenly became energetic, sat up on the broken straw mat behind the statue of the mountain god, and listened attentively to the movement.

"No, it's such a coincidence? This ruined temple is not a transportation hub, and people can still come every day? It can't be a ghost, right? No, no, no, there are footsteps, don't scare yourself!!

A little farther away from the mountain road, a group of 9 people are walking on the mountain road, and most of the steps are relatively brisk.

Among them, most of them looked younger, and many of them had weapons in their hands, mostly swords, and some of them were holding long sticks with iron around their heads, and two of them were carrying a bag of hemp, and they did not know what was inside.

It's just that these people are a little embarrassed on the surface, because they didn't bring rain gear, even if they found a place to hide from the rain in time, they were all drenched in the rain.

The person who walked in front was called Yan Fei, a young man holding a tassel sword, with a well-proportioned and slender figure of one meter eight, and a pair of Danfeng eyes that were bright.

He looked ahead, pointed into the distance, and said to his companions.

"There's the mountain temple ahead, let's go there and rest and recharge our batteries!"

"Okay, everyone walk quickly, this mountain road after the rain is really laborious!"

A woman's close-fitting suit, which was still draped over her hands and ankles, was now wet and sticking to her body, and she took a few steps and hated to shake off the mud stuck to her boots.

"It's ridiculous that none of us thought of bringing rain gear. ”

The woman laughed at herself irritably as she quickened her pace.

The strong man with the iron-clad stick smiled.

"Hehe, Senior Sister Luo, the weather in this mountain can change, and the sun is high before going up the mountain, who would have thought about it. ”

"What are you laughing at, aren't you also drenched in soup!"

"Okay, don't make any noise, we're not here to play, let's go into the temple to repair!"

Although the ground was muddy, and these people walked a little awkwardly, Ji Yuan had to admit that their feet were still very fast, and they walked in front of the mountain temple after a while.

The dilapidated wilderness temple, surrounded by dead trees, the light shaded by the rocks and trees, and the fact that it was evening, made this area look eerie.

"Ah~Ah~"

Two crows chirped on the dead trees behind the mountain temple, which seemed more appropriate.

The original brisk steps of the 9 people all subconsciously slowed down, and even the voices were much quieter.

Although the mountain temple is broken, but in addition to the lack of a gate, it can still block the wind and rain, Yan Fei walked to the eaves of the temple, swept inward and saw the carbon pile and unburned firewood left by the foot merchants after the fire was lit before, and his heart was slightly relieved.

"The people in Narcissus are right, there should be people here often, but everyone should be more careful. ”

Ji Yuan in the temple felt a little inexplicable about the reaction of this group of people, he was very loud when he complained on the road before, but now he is careful.

But he really couldn't laugh, he looked forward to someone when no one was around, and when someone really came, he was worried that the other party was a vicious person, after all, he didn't have any ability to protect himself now.

A few people walked around the mountain temple before entering.

Yan Fei was the first to enter the temple, followed by the others.

After glancing at the fire and dry wood several times, they slowly approached the statue of the mountain god with light steps, frequently looking at the top of the mountain temple and some corners, and their main attention was naturally behind the statue of the mountain god.

The first to discover Ji Yuan was Yan Fei, after all, at the forefront, he walked to the original bonfire and pretended to check it, and then looked up at the back of the mountain god statue and saw Ji Yuan leaning over there.

"A beggar?"

The others also came over and roughly saw Ji Yuan's appearance.

"Hey, Hanako, are you alone here?"

The man with the long stick yelled at Ji Yuan, this loud voice made Ji Yuan's ears itch, and he subconsciously stretched out his little finger and scratched his left ear.

The breath of this group of people is generally stronger and longer than that of those foot merchants, and his intuition tells Ji Yuan that these people should not be ordinary people, and he does not dare to force more in front of this group of people, so he should be honest and ask what to answer.

"Yes, I was alone before you came. ”

Ji Yuan originally wanted to make fun of "Aren't you human?", but when he thought that this was not a keyboard across the Internet, nor was it a world he was familiar with, he was careful to be beaten.

The so-called Senior Sister Luo in the group looked at Ji Yuan's tattered and embarrassed appearance, and was surprised.

"There are man-eating tigers in this mountain, how dare you come to the mountain alone?"

Although curiosity may be the main factor in this question, Ji Yuan still expects them to take him down the mountain, at least have to try, so he answers half-truths and half-truths in frustration.

"That's no way, my eyes are not good, the person who brought me left by himself, even if he knew that there were tigers on the mountain, it was not easy to go down the mountain alone without help." ”

Compassion, must win compassion!

At this time, the young man with Danfeng's eyes made a gesture at everyone, nodded his fate, and then pointed to his eyes, everyone subconsciously looked at the beggar's eyes, and found that although the beggar's slightly open eyes were translucent, their pupils were gray.

Someone lowered his voice and whispered, "It's a blind man......"

This low voice naturally can't escape Ji Yuan's ears, Ji Yuan thought optimistically, and said quietly that he was afraid of his own feelings, so it seems that at least this person should not be too bad-hearted.

So Ji Yuan's sense of expectation that he can leave has also risen a little.

The sturdy man with a long stick in the crowd glanced at Senior Sister Luo and the others, and then said to him:

"It's your luck to meet us, wait until we solve the big man-eating worm and take you down the mountain together!"

Ji Yuan, who had just risen with joy, heard the second half of the words, and his heart jumped violently.

If you want to kill a big insect, which big insect? It won't be Lu Shanjun, right?

"Uh, what are you doing up the hill?"

Ji Yuan asked them a little apprehensively.

The answer was still the stick-wielding man with a particularly loud voice.

"Hahaha...... We heard that it has been a long time since the man-eating tigers came out of this mountain, and the government has not been able to get rid of them for a long time, adhering to the chivalrous spirit in the chest, taking over the list of Ning'an County Ya, and coming to Narcissus Town to eliminate harm for the people!"

"Exactly!" "That's right!"

The men and women around also nodded in agreement, confidently showing chivalry in front of Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the thought that subconsciously popped out of his mind was: 'This group of people are looking for death!'
