Views:

Xifeng didn't expect that just after returning to the inn, someone knocked on the door before she packed her bags. She opened the door and saw a strange middle-aged woman standing in front of the door. She recognized this person carefully, but she didn't know him, so she asked, "Auntie, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, are you a Cuihua girl?"

"..." When will the name be forgotten

When Qing Yuan heard this, he probed and said, "She is not Cuihua."

The woman's face suddenly became puzzled: "Strange, the aunt of the Sun family clearly said that you are coming in this direction. I inquired all the way, and only found out that you live here."

"Aunt Sun?" Xifeng asked, "Sun Qianqian's mother?"

The mother of Sun Qianqian who was deceived by the weasel and startled by Yu Gongzi

"Yes." The woman said, "She is my distant cousin. I heard that Qianqian was not feeling well, so I went to visit. She said that Qianqian was frightened by monsters, and later a childhood friend who caught monsters came to visit, After she left, Qianqian almost recovered, and now there is no serious problem."

Xifeng felt relieved, and said, "It's good to recover." Sure enough, unraveling the knot is a good medicine. She asked again, "Then what are you looking for Cuihua for?"

"Catch the monsters, my master has been uncomfortable recently. He invited a monk to come and see that there were monsters, but he was scared away by the monsters as soon as he cast the spell. Didn't I come home by the way? When I heard about Miss Cuihua, I went all the way. I want to see if I can meet you." The woman regretted, "It's a pity that you are not Cuihua."

"I am!" Xifeng patted his chest loudly, "I am Cuihua!"

Qing Yuan looked at her, hey, why is she Cuihua again

Then next time he calls her Cuihua, will she beat him

The woman looked at her suspiciously: "Then you just said you weren't?"

Xifeng said, "I don't know you, Auntie, so of course you need to be more careful, but it is our duty to hunt down demons and slay demons, so of course I can't hide it any longer." Seeing that the woman still didn't believe it, she added, "If I If you don't know Aunt Sun, how can you know that her daughter's name is Qianqian."

The woman just let go of half of her suspicions, and then looked at the man beside her, and completely let go of her suspicions: "Yes, Aunt Sun said, there is a handsome young man beside that beautiful little girl."

Xifeng has absolutely no interest in compliments or anything. The most important thing is the business that comes to your door. She smiled and asked, "Where does my aunt live, I'll go with you right now, just to eat and drink along the way and to get money for catching monsters..."

"I have a carriage, and my home is not far from here. It's just two towns away. Our Zhao family is a big family, and we will never treat you badly."

Xifeng was overjoyed: "When I pack my bags, I'll go with you."

"Then I'll go back to the inn and call the carriage over." The woman was also overjoyed, and as she left, she said, "It's saved, it's saved this time."

After she left, Xifeng went to pack up, Qingyuan followed her around for several times, and finally asked, "Why did she call me a thief?"

"What? Calling you a thief?"

"She said I was a thief."

Xiaohuo said: "Lord Qinglong, she praised you for being handsome, and didn't scold you."

Qing Yuan pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Mortals are really, very strange."

One word can be used to scold people, and it can also be used to praise people. Qing Yuan grabbed Xifeng who was folding clothes and called her. West Wind put down his work and looked back at him.

Qing Yuan was really much taller than her, and Xi Feng looked up at him, his neck felt sore after looking at him for a long time. The man looked down at her and saw that her face was hot, she asked, "Why?"

Qing Yuan said, "Idiot."

"… "

"Bad girl."

"… "

"Cuihua."

"…Shut up!!! No dinner tonight!"

Qing Yuan, who was yelled, looked at the two little guys and said, "Look, I said mortals are weird."

Xiaohuo and Yue'er were stunned, the strange thing was you, Master Qinglong!

Yue'er thought of the situation when Xifeng beat Xiaohuo, and shuddered: "The only person who dares to provoke Xifeng is Lord Qinglong."

"No."

"Has your master caught something against Master Qinglong?"

Xiao Huo paused, hey, how did the sentence it just said sound familiar. I remember a few months ago, it was still worried about her life because Xifeng always offended Qinglong, but now it has completely changed.

Dignified Qinglong was bullied casually by a little monster hunter.

Xiaohuo fell into deep thought, and finally figured out that it wasn't that the west wind became stronger, but Qinglong didn't fight back at all.

I love it.

Seeing Xiaohuo, Yue'er went back to her own thoughts and tapped it on the head with her small paw: "Did you listen to me?"

"Listen." Xiaohuo touched his head and said, "Where is the handle."

After it said these words, it felt that something was wrong. Lord Qinglong was bullied by Xifeng, he didn't fight back, he was pampering him. But this little briquettes beat it, why didn't it fight back? It is rare that it finds a snack and wants to bring it back to eat it for the wounded. What is this

Xiaohuo thought about it, panicked and hiccupped.

No, it's amazing!

"Xiaohuo." Xifeng, who had packed Qinglong and his luggage, saw it startled, and called it again, "Let's go."

Xiaohuo came back to his senses, and saw Yueer's little black face poking over again and grimacing at it: "Go, little mouse."

Those big bright eyes flashed in front of its eyes, making its heart skip a beat: "Hiccup."

The whole rat is bad!

The woman didn't lie, she seemed to be someone who could afford the big money to catch monsters, because the woman called two carriages, which were large and comfortable enough to lie down.

How can one go to visit relatives alone but call two carriages, how can he not be able to pay a few taels of silver.

Seeing that she was going to the carriage behind, Mrs. Zhao took her hand and said with a warm smile, "You are still a girl, how can you ride a carriage with a man alone, sit with me, and leave the carriage for that son."

Xifeng looked at Qingyuan and said, "It's not a big problem, I'd better stay with him."

"I want to tell you about my master, lest you get caught off guard by the monster."

Xifeng paused for a while, then nodded and said to Qing Yuan, "Mrs. Zhao and I are in a car, you and Xiao Huoyue'er go to the carriage behind."

Qing Yuan was silent for a while, then walked to the carriage behind.

Mrs. Zhao looked to his left and right, but saw nothing, and asked, "Who is Xiao Huoyue'er?"

"It's my two spirit beasts, who helped catch monsters, usually won't be seen by mortals, and now they're squatting on his shoulders."

Mrs. Zhao was astonished, this girl is not simple and reliable.

Mrs. Zhao took her into the car, and asked the driver to drive the car, saying: "It's not far away, if you don't rest at night, you can arrive early tomorrow morning. But you and I are both women, and it's inconvenient to spend the night outside, so I'll see you later. After the inn, you still have to rest, girl, don't you mind?"

"It's all right." Xifeng asked, "Madam, what kind of evil is your master entangled in?"

Mrs. Zhao said, "I don't know what monster, but it must be a female monster."

"female?"

"Yes, because..." Mrs. Zhao was a little hard to say, and finally said, "My master is a businessman. He was dragged by his friends to talk about business that day... He was drinking in a brothel, and he became weird when he came back. He likes dressing up. Dress up, like to polish and powder, and... also like to wear women's clothes!"

As soon as Mrs. Zhao said that, her face turned red.

Xifeng was not surprised by this kind of thing. Out of respect, he did not comment, and said, "Did that hurt Master Zhao?"

"Not at all, just become like a woman, shameful to death." Mrs. Zhao tilted her head and sighed again and again, this is a family shame.

"Don't panic, Madam. When I get there, I will definitely catch the monster."

"Then there is a girl named Lao."

The carriage was a little hurried, and it was getting dark before entering the next town. Mrs. Zhao pondered that if the car was faster, she would be able to enter the town before dark. Who wants to be in a hurry, the car has a problem and can't move.

The driver looked at it and said, "It won't be repaired in half an hour."

Mrs. Zhao looked at the sky and was a little anxious: "Can you still enter the town then?"

"It's all mountain roads. It's not easy to walk at night. It's better to make a fire on the spot and stay in the carriage for one night."

Mrs. Zhao felt guilty, and said to Xifeng, "I'm really sorry, I want to aggrieve the girl to sleep in the wild."

"It doesn't matter, ma'am, I hunt monsters on weekdays, and occasionally sleep in the wild." Xifeng got out of the car, ran to the carriage that Qing Yuan was sitting in, and lifted the curtain to see that there was only Qing Yuan inside, "Xiao Huoyue'er Woolen cloth?"

"It's getting dark, and they say they're going to find snacks."

"How long have you been?"

"It's been an hour."

Xifeng looked at Qingyuan sitting upright in the car, Qingyuan sitting alone in the car for an hour, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. She reached out to him and said, "Come down, we're going to spend the night here tonight. The servants of Zhao's house have gone to collect firewood. Let's walk around to see if there is any game."

Qing Yuan reached out to hold her hand and got out of the car. He looked at the wilderness, the mountains in the evening had already looked gloomy, and it was not clear, he said, "It seems that Xiaohuo and Yue'er can eat very well."

"Shh." Xifeng motioned him not to say, "Don't let Mrs. Zhao and the others hear them. These monsters dare not come over, but mortals will be afraid when they hear it."

What everyone was looking for was the flat land near the mountain road. The place was not spacious, and the surrounding shrubs were messy. The servants cleaned up some and burned the weeds around. Only then did Mrs. Zhao feel more at ease, and said: " Make a bonfire now."

It was midsummer, and she was afraid that a snake would come over. When the servant was ready to call Xifeng, the servant said, "Let's go with that son, and said to go hunting."

"Looking at Wen Jing, you are very courageous. You can catch monsters and hunt." Mrs. Zhao asked again, "Are they on fire?"

"Maybe not."

"Then how do they go..."

Mrs. Zhao's worry is also a headache for Xifeng now. She is determined to take Qingyuan out of the car for a walk. There is still sunlight when she enters the woods, and it will get dark when she walks further inside.

It's not that there is no way to set it on fire, but if you use magic power, if you are discovered by the surrounding evil spirits, you will definitely come after it, make a noise, and scare the people of Zhao's house.

Because she couldn't see, she stumbled and stumbled. It was not so much that she was holding Qing Yuan, but Qing Yuan was supporting her. If she didn't use strength to stabilize her, she would have fallen several times.

"West wind."

Qing Yuan, who was walking slowly with her, called her name, and Xi Feng, who was walking carefully, turned his head and asked, "Huh?"

"Are you happy being a mortal?"

Xifeng paused: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because mortals are very fragile, easily injured, and easily hungry. If they want to make money, they can't see at night. And... mortals have very short lifespans. In a hundred years, wouldn't it be sad to watch their relatives leave one after another?"

Xifeng thought for a while, and said: "This is a mortal, fragile and strong. Life will go on. In your eyes, mortals are only a hundred years old, but for mortals, it is neither long nor short, at least every day is not a day. Day after day. Happiness is a day, sickness is a day, day by day, and a hundred years have passed.”

Qing Yuan didn't understand the mortal life where different things happen every day, he was silent and said, "When the gods and demons were fighting, I told them to come back together, but I didn't even bring back half of the soldiers. …”

After so many years of war and so many people died, even though a hundred thousand years have passed, he still cannot let go. So he doesn't understand why mortals can live happily and hard after watching their relatives die one after another in just a hundred years.

His tone was calm, but Zephyr knew he was not happy. When he is unhappy, he always speaks very slowly, every word is heavy, as if pressing his heart. She asked, "Why do you want to fight the Demon Realm?"

"For self-protection, in order to guard the realm of the gods."

"Did you make it?"

Qing Yuan was silent for a moment before saying: "Although the God Realm suffered heavy casualties, it is indeed a victory."

"Then your soldiers, I think, they will rest in peace. What they are most afraid of is that the war has never stopped. The two worlds may be the best explanation for them to quell the war. This is also the meaning of their struggle against the demon world. Xifeng added, "The same is true for mortals. Even if life is hard, as long as there is a little meaning in life, they will work hard to live and achieve their wishes, but the most fearful thing is that in the end, they will not complete what they have done all their lives. wish."

"Those 'meanings' make it not sad for them to lose their loved ones?"

"No." Xifeng said flatly, "It's just... mortals are different from gods and demons, gods and demons are not easy to have children, but mortals can hold two for three years. After a few decades, a relative leaves, there are other relatives to support, and more Live for them. Even without relatives, there are other meanings to live."

She took a breath and followed him slowly in the forest where her fingers could not be seen. The evil spirits were circling around, and no one dared to come.

She lowered her voice and said, "When my mother died in front of me, I didn't want to live anymore. It was Xiao Huosha who opened a bloody way and took me away. She told me that my mother wanted me to live well. Although At the time I didn't know what I was going to do to survive, but my mother let me live, and I just wanted to live well, because if I died, she would be very sad."

The strength of his hand was heavier, and he held it tightly, as if to comfort her, for fear that she would be sad.

Xifeng knew that he didn't say anything, but he was actually more comforting than anyone else. She smiled at him: "So you are the same, if your subordinates see that you are still unhappy after 100,000 years, they will also be sad. What they want to see is peace between the two worlds, not your guilt. "

The two have been walking in the forest for a long time. Although there is no morning sun, they can understand each other.

Qing Yuan walked very slowly, but he could feel that Xi Feng was still walking cautiously, as if he was afraid of falling. He stopped, looked at her and said, "I'll carry you."

Xifeng, who was afraid of being killed by him, hummed, "Then you might as well hug me."

"Then I'll hug you."

Before Xifeng could react, he stretched out his hands and his body was already in the air.

She immediately left the ground and lost her sense of security. She immediately reached out and grabbed his clothes. Qing Yuan hugged her firmly, looked at the girl in his arms, her face was even more rosy than before, her bright eyes blinked lightly, like the moon, Shengyue.

West Wind rested on his generous chest, unwilling to think about anything.

The steps were light, stepping on the dry dead wood on the ground, and the sound of broken wood knocked on the hearts of the two.

Thump, thump.

I don't know whose heart is beating so hard.
