It snowed again at night, and the northern region was cold. The whole Ze'an County was buried in the heavy snow, and it was quiet.
The county is full of monsters today, and many disasters have occurred. When the sun sets, every household closes their doors tightly, as if they have fallen into dead silence.
It's just that the men from outside the darts are not afraid, they still sit in the inn and talk happily, talking loudly every time they come and go, which arouses the dissatisfaction of the shopkeeper, but they can only ask Xiao Er to remind them tactfully.
The little girl was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, thin in stature, and didn't dare to argue with them, so he said humbly, "Masters, this county has been restless recently, it's better to go to bed earlier."
Several men drank the wine, their blood surged up, and they glared angrily: "Don't worry about your grandpa's business! Get out of here, get out!"
Xiaoer was deflated, held back his breath and said, "I don't know how many masters have come here recently. There have been a lot of murders in the county recently. There are a lot of monsters around here. The masters are still..."
Before he finished speaking, the man who had just cursed had already dropped the wine glass on his head.
The porcelain cup shattered, and a long bloodstain was drawn on his face. Xiao Er took a breath, covered his face quickly, and saw that the man was about to stand up and hit someone, so he turned around and ran away.
When he ran inside, he turned his head and saw the shopkeeper with a gloomy expression. Xiao Er's heart turned cold, and sure enough, the shopkeeper let out a snort and kicked him: "You useless stupid things, go and clean them up!"
Xiao Er's thin figure swayed, bowed his head and did not dare to make a sound, but the shopkeeper didn't wait any longer, and told him to stay on guard in the hall, and wait for the guests at the table to finish drinking and clean up before resting.
Xiao Er rubbed his arms and stood far away from the gate. Thinking of what happened recently, he didn't dare to approach, so he just squatted under the counter and warmed the stove, took out a whitish handkerchief to wipe the blood off his face clean.
Even in such a state of embarrassment, what he cares most about is not the humiliation or the wound on his face, but the fear that those few who don't listen to persuasion will really attract the demons.
In fact, there are no monsters in Ze'an County on weekdays, but I don't know what happened recently. At night, monsters sneaked into the county, and some unlucky families were eaten alive.
However, in the past two days, I heard that a disciple of Shenbianzong came to the county, and he lived in an inn on the east side of the county. The county magistrate respectfully wanted to take him to the mansion, but was rejected.
Xiao Er didn't have so many things to listen to, but he felt regretful, why didn't those priests live in their inn, so that he didn't have to be so frightened and couldn't sleep well all night.
But when he just wiped off the blood on his head and got up to clean up the broken cups on the ground, there were a few 'dong dong' knocks on the door.
Those men also heard it, and in the middle of the night, the knock on the door was even more strange, thinking of what Xiaoer said earlier, they felt a little bit drummed in their hearts, and looked at each other in blank dismay.
But the knocking on the door didn't stop.
Everyone held their breath, the face of the square-faced man who had just cursed changed, his eyes turned, he looked at the waiter who had shrunk back to the counter, and said in a low voice, "Maybe someone invested in the store, why don't you go and see?"
Xiao Er was so frightened that she almost lost her soul. There would be people staying in the hotel at midnight, so she hurriedly shook her head.
The man in Tsing Yi next to him said: "Don't look at it yet, it's so late, it's a bit evil."
As soon as he finished speaking, the knock on the door became more violent, as if something was knocking on the door, the faces of several people completely changed, and finally a resident who lived in this inn woke up and secretly opened the door to look.
The impact sound became more and more intense, finally they couldn't sit still, and retreated to the back of the counter, Xiaoer was trembling with fright, and murmured: "The mountain ghost, it must be the mountain ghost coming again..."
"Mountain ghost?"
The square-faced man immediately reached out and grabbed his collar: "Why didn't you say that this place is haunted by mountain ghosts!"
Xiao Er almost cried: "I told you that there are monsters in this county, but you didn't listen..."
The square-faced man didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately slammed his head against the counter. Seeing that the door was crumbling, he gritted his teeth and said, "It won't work like this."
The man in Tsing Yi was also anxious: "What should I do!"
Another person tremblingly said: "I went to the darts, and I heard the old man once said that this mountain ghost has a small appetite, even if it rushes in, it will only catch one prey."
After he finished speaking, his pupils trembled slightly, and he said meaningfully: "I don't know who of us will be so unlucky..."
The man with the square face was overjoyed when he heard the words. He looked around and saw that no other guests came out to see, and said, "It's hard to say, of course this cowardly thing is going out! Damn it, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, get out of here The place!"
Xiao Er was instantly paralyzed from fright, not caring about being grabbed by the man, crying and begging for mercy.
But the darts that these few people traveled around were obviously not good things. The square-faced man made up his mind. They opened the door with a gap, threw them out immediately, and quickly closed the door.
The shopkeeper hadn't fallen asleep yet, and he didn't dare to come to the front hall. He just lay on the back and watched, murmuring Amitabha Buddha.
Seeing that after those people threw Xiao Er out, there was really no movement, the shopkeeper was relieved, and turned to look at them again, with a measure in his heart.
And Xiao Er was thrown out, and when he saw the hideous thing looking at him, his instinct was aroused instead, and he ran quickly, regardless of how closely the things behind him were chasing him, or where he was leading in front.
But all he could do was run for his life, and before he knew it, he ran into a dead end!
Xiao Er was so sad that he almost collapsed. He grabbed the wall and wanted to climb up, but he was so frightened that he couldn't climb up. He had to look for the dog hole and try to get through it.
Just as he approached the wall covered with withered vines on the other side, he was suddenly grabbed by a hand. Before he could utter a scream, his whole body was dragged into the wall.
When the mountain ghost came after him, there were only footprints left on the spot, but Xiao Er was nowhere to be seen.
The snow was still falling, and soon the footprints were covered, and when the wind blew, they completely merged with the vast snow.
…
When Charles woke up early in the morning, the window was already white.
He has seen a lot of snow recently, and it is no longer surprising. He glanced at the dimly lit window, but felt that the room was getting colder, so he rubbed his eyes and subconsciously slipped into Jiang Wuyi's arms.
Jiang Wuyi squinted his eyes and reached out to hug him, but Xiaolong's horn poked his chin, and then he opened his eyes completely to look at him, lowered his head and kissed him on the horn: "Zai Zai."
Charles didn't want to get up, so he buried his face in his heart again, muffled echo: "Huh?"
This soft and soft voice was like brushing a layer of honey on Jiang Wuyi's heart. Jiang Wuyi surrounded the child, and shouted again meaninglessly: "Baby."
Xiaolong snorted again, and Jiang Wuyi hugged him for a long time before saying, "Don't get up? Didn't you mean to get up early and go out with them?"
But sometimes it’s like this, the ambition at night can’t be counted during the day, and the ambition and fighting spirit of Xiao Zai Zai last night were completely melted in Jiang Wuyi’s arms, and he said lazily: “Just sleep for a while Well… "
Jiang Wuyi naturally clings to him, as long as the child opens his mouth, he even feels that he can hug him like this for a lifetime.
The two delayed each other until Duo Ling came to knock on the door, Xiaolong raised his head and responded, and looked at Jiang Wuyi around the quilt: "Jiang Yan, it's so cold."
The inn was indeed getting colder, the store owner probably couldn't bear to add more charcoal fires, the fire was almost extinguished in the early morning, so that the room was surprisingly cold in the morning.
Hearing this, Jiang Wuyi immediately cast a magic spell, filled the charcoal fire and ignited it, then wrapped the child with spiritual power, then got up to look for clothes for him, and said with a smile: "Since you feel cold, why don't you mobilize your spirit?" force?"
Xiaolong Zaizai thought about it, and blushed: "I didn't remember, it was very warm when I hugged you just now."
Jiang Wuyi leaned over and stretched out his hand: "Then do you want to hug again?"
Xiaolong looked at him seriously for a while, then put his fingers against his chin: "Jiang Yan, you have changed."
Jiang Wuyi raised his eyebrows.
Xiaolong Zizai said: "You were scary when we first met."
Jiang Wuyi smiled: "Does Zai Zai like me now, or me at that time?"
Xiaolong smirked: "Of course it is now!"
So Jiang Wuyi reached out to wrap his arms around him, hugged him off the bed, fastened the accessory belt for him, and couldn't help touching the slender waist a few times.
Unknowingly, the boy has drawn a lot, and his stature is closer to that of an adult. The immaturity on his face has disappeared, making the delicate and profound features even more gorgeous.
Jiang Wuyi's eyes were deep, he watched him almost obsessively, and meticulously tidied him up, and finally couldn't help but pecked on his lips.
Just a taste of it.
Xiaolong has already started to blush, trying to reason with Jiang Wuyi: "Jiang Yan, kissing with the mouth is not allowed!"
Jiang Wu turned his head: "Why?"
Xiaolong thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I don't know too much about this, but... anyway, you can't kiss indiscriminately."
Jiang Wuyi thought about it, then lowered his head and kissed him on the lips, and even bit his lips lightly.
Xiaolong almost exploded, and quickly pushed his head away: "Why are you kissing again?"
Jiang Wuyi hooked his lips: "If you don't allow it, I will take the kiss back."
Xiaolong felt that what he said was unreasonable, so he went out angrily.
When the three of them saw Jiang Wuyi appearing at the breakfast table, they were a little surprised for a while, but Duo Ling was relieved quickly, thinking that Xiao Zai Zai woke up so late this morning.
Xiao Zaizai quietly rubbed against Mu Qinghan's side, wishing he could stick to his body, Jiang Wu's eyes jumped, and he was about to reach out to pull Xiao Zaizai back, but Tan Yi took the first step and sat down on Xiao Zaizai's body. Between Mu Qinghan and Xiaolong, he frowned and said, "You, opposite."
Tan Yi always spoke in this tone, never more than two words at a time, Xiao Zai Zai was inexplicably awed by this senior brother, and immediately didn't dare to move again.
Jiang Wuyi saw something, and immediately brought the child back to him.
Duo Ling looked at the couple on the right, and then at the two on the left, feeling a sense of irritability suddenly in his heart, as if his appearance on this table was superfluous, so he coughed lightly, lowered his head and moved his chopsticks to eat.
The little boy looked at Mu Qinghan eagerly, and sighed regretfully, Jiang Wuyi's face was not very good, and he knocked on the bowl vigorously while serving him food, and the child came back to his senses.
But when they were having breakfast, a few policemen came outside, the leader was Catcher Yang from the county government office, and he walked quickly with a worried expression on his face.
"Several elders, someone from the inn on the outskirts of the city reported to the officials that there was another mountain ghost attacking people last night, and they also arrested a junior!"
Duo Ling's expression changed: "Last night?"
Those mountain ghosts were clearly repelled last night, so how could someone come into the county without their lives
Xiaolong thought about it carefully, looked at Duo Ling and said, "It seems... there is really something attracting these monsters here."
Tan Yi nodded, put down his chopsticks and got up, and said in a cold voice, "Lead the way."
