Chapter 9 A combination of bad luck and good fortune(1/2)
"Li Yu,"
Winnie whispered a reminder from behind, but Li Yu just waved his hand slightly.
Of course he knew there was a problem: Leyuan County was plagued by ghosts more than a month ago. How could the little girl in front of him survive alone in this dangerous place for so long? What's more, on Li Yu's mobile phone, this blacksmith shop
There are no 'living things' inside: neither humans nor corpses.
"You are talking about my sister!"
After listening to Li Yu's description, the little girl hiding in the back room nodded suddenly with excitement.
"Sister escaped? Great, where is mom?"
After Li Yu expressed his ignorance, the little girl hiding behind the door bit her lips and finally walked out from behind the door.
"Brother, if you see my father, can you ask him to pick me up?"
With that said, the little girl seemed to feel that it was too insincere to ask someone for help. She took a few steps forward, stretched out her chubby little hand, and handed a top to Li Yu.
"This is a toy that my father made for me, for my eldest brother."
This is a wooden top cut from a small tree trunk, with an iron nail driven into the bottom. To Li Yu and others, it is just a meaningless thing, but to the little girl, it is evidence of her father's love and care for her.
.It can be seen from her reluctant eyes that this is her treasure.
"Dad went out to fight bad guys, and he hasn't come back yet."
"I've been hiding under the cabinet, waiting and waiting~~ But no one came to pick me up after waiting for a long time, and my mother and sister, I miss them so much..."
"I don't want your top,"
Li Yu sighed, stepped forward and put his hand on the little girl's head.
"Tell me what your father looks like and I will pay attention."

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li!"
After leaving the blacksmith shop, the little Loli Momonga couldn't help but question in a low voice.
"Shooting corpses around the perimeter and picking up some unwanted things as a means of transportation is the purpose of our trip, right?"
Without waiting for Li Yu to answer, Loli, who was only half a person tall, continued talking on her own.
"Now she has to help a little devil find her father, and her father is probably dead long ago."
"This is too stupid and does no good at all. Sister Winnie, what do you think?"
Loli Momonga turned to ask Winnie next to her, trying to get someone to support her point of view.
"I listen to Li Yu,"
However, Winnie just answered calmly. She was good at fighting, so she left matters like planning to Li Yu.
It's not that she doesn't know how to think, but it's a kind of trust in her companions.
···
"I understand what you mean, Momonga."
Hiding behind a mud house, Li Yu spoke while looking at his cell phone to plan the route.
"The little girl is dead, and what we saw is her soul. Her father was probably also murdered, but -"
"I don't mind helping others if it's just along the way."
If Li Yu had to sacrifice himself to help others.
Sorry, that's impossible!
"According to what the little girl said, her father went to this village... the main gate of the county to resist the ghost attack. Let's go and see the situation first."
"Also, don't call me Uncle Li,"
"I always feel like you are scolding me."
No, don’t feel it, I’m just scolding you!
The little loli with blond hair and animal ears and half the height of a human complained in her heart. She didn't understand why a creature like "human" would take risks for other people.
————
Although others call this place ‘Leyuan County’,
But in Li Yu's opinion, you can reach the front from the east side in a few minutes, and the scale here is no more than a village. When the three of them came to the 'county gate' consisting of a wooden fence directly below the foot of the mountain, they saw
What arrived were a dozen figures wandering in the thick fog.
"Hey, I had expected it..."
Among the dozen militiamen wearing sackcloth, dragging broken spears and broken shields in their hands, a tall, bearded figure wearing inlaid armor and holding a hammer stood out. Yes, this is the ghost.
The little girl’s father is a blacksmith in this ‘county town’!
Years of forging iron have left him with muscles all over his body, and his arms are as thick as thighs. The hammer is wrapped tightly around his arms with cloth strips, and the blood all over his body proves that he has experienced a hard battle.
It's a pity that this man's face is now stiff and his complexion is ashen. Although no external injuries can be seen, he has obviously been transformed into a zombie!
"Master,"
After being denied by Li Yu, Fei Shou obediently changed his title to 'Young Master'.
"You don't really want to help that brat get her father back, do you?"
The flying squirrel little loli had an expression on her face that said, "Don't get me if you want to die." She stretched out her white and tender index finger.
"Did you see the color of that guy's skin?"
"That's the sign of 'Black Zombie'. This blacksmith was definitely a warrior when he was alive, and now he's dead and even more difficult to mess with. If you're really ready to meddle in other people's business, then let me go first. Just think of it as doing good deeds: I
I will remember to burn some money and paper for you in the future..."
"Winnie, what do you think?"
Li Yu was not angry because of what little Loli Momonga said, but turned to look at the girl next to him. Among the three of them, Winnie was the real fighting force.
"no,"
Winnie calmly shook her head,
"A defensive extraordinary creature, plus a dozen derivatives, I am no match for it."
If that's the case, forget it.
For Li Yu, the purpose of coming here has been achieved: he changed into clean and normal clothes, found a lot of copper coins, and already has start-up funds. Next, he will first study how to become a transcendent, and then slowly consider the issue of identity.
.
"withdraw,"
The dozen or so militia-like zombies in the distance were beyond the capabilities of Li Yu and others. Of course, he couldn't fight head-on. Although the little girl's soul was destined not to wait for her father, Li Yu also
It can only mean that I can't help.
Li Yu has sympathy, but not much.
It's not impossible for him to risk his life for others, but at least it has to be someone close to him.
This village and town full of corpses and zombies is naturally like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to others, but to Li Yu, it is just a leisurely stroll. He easily took Winnie and Fei Squirrel away quietly. This is the power of the mobile phone's navigation function.
——
What?!
Li Yu, who had been paying attention to his mobile phone, suddenly stopped.
Because on the previously empty navigation map, a white dot suddenly appeared, not far in front of the three of them!
"Friends over there, please come out and meet me."
After Li Yu raised his crossbow and pointed it at the opening in the alleyway of the house in front of him, a soft laugh could be heard.
"Oh, you guys don't need to be nervous."
Accompanied by a gentle voice, a smiling young man wearing a white round-neck robe, narrow-sleeved boots, walked out from the house, and bowed his hands in front of Li Yu and the others.
"A certain family in Pingyang is a bad guy."
What's wrong?
Facing Li Yu's slightly questioning look, the little loli flying squirrel next to him explained in a low voice:
"The so-called Yin Chai are the 'public servants' under the Tenth Palace of Hell. They are the same as the official chaplains of the imperial court. The only difference is that they are not in charge of living people, but the souls of all living creatures after death."
"You little devil, you do have some knowledge."
The young man opposite had a touch of pink skin, his silver hair was tied neatly on his head, his facial features were handsome, and he was kind with a hint of arrogance that could not be concealed.
If he hadn't introduced himself, no matter who he was, he would have thought that he was an honorable disciple and not some shady person.
"The cycle of life and death is the true meaning of the world; karma and retribution are under the jurisdiction of this hell."
After Li Yu returned the gift, the red-skinned and silver-haired young man started talking.
