The Glass Maiden

Chapter 26 Dangerous Strings (2)

Xuanji dragged Sifengman into the town and ran around, and when she saw something she hadn't eaten, she went up to buy a little to taste it. After eating, she couldn't walk, so she had to sit on the side of the road and rest.

It was almost dusk at that time, and the distant sky had already been rendered in full swing by the sunset. Big and big golden red "colored" clouds perched on the rolling mountains, staining both faces with gorgeous evening red.

Xuan Ji was still gnawing on the horse meat that hadn't been eaten in her hand, and her face was covered with sauce. She saw Yu Sifeng steadily looking into the distance, where it was already dimmed, and the cascading mountains, one by one, seemed to spread to the end of the sky, and one could not help wondering what the scenery would be behind the endless mountains. .

"What are you looking at?" She finally finished eating the piece of horsemeat, and pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her face with difficulty.

Yu Sifeng just smiled and said nothing. His eyes were sentimental and sentimental. After looking for a long while, he "touched" his nose, then chuckled back and said, "I used to like to stand on the clock tower high from Zegong and look at the mountains in the distance. What will be behind the mountain, now I finally know that it turned out to be a beautiful town."

Xuanji stood up, put her hand on her eyes, watched with him, and said, "So behind those mountains is Lize Palace! Is it the place where Sifeng grew up?"

Yu Sifeng shook his head, "It's not the place where I grew up... my hometown... is very far, very far."

"how far?"

"...So far away you can't go back."

It sounds very mysterious. Xuanji stared at him blankly, unable to imagine how far away "I can't go back as soon as I came out".

"Then... I won't be able to visit Sifeng's hometown in my life? Wouldn't the Sifeng family miss you?"

Yu Sifeng's lips curled up, and that smile made people feel cold and depressed.

"Well, Xuanji, you will never be able to go. As for my family...very early, they all died, and I was the only one left alone."

It turned out to be a poor child. Xuanji's eyes were full of pity and love when she looked at him, and she raised her hand to "touch" and "touch" his head, as if to comfort a wounded kitten.

"How can you be alone?" she said softly, "we are all with you."

He didn't seem to be very good at dealing with such emotional moments. He was a little clumsy, coughed and his face was slightly red. I don't know if it's because the sunset is too gorgeous, he feels a little more soft and delicate than usual. The mountain breeze blew over, and he smelled of the clear sea, which made him comfortable.

"It's time to go back, the purple fox is still in the inn." He touched the black hair that was blown in front of him by the wind, and smiled back, his eyes were crystal clear, like black gems.

Xuanji couldn't help holding his arm, and was dragged forward by him, lazily and soft, like a full cat.

"Sifeng, what is your hometown like?"

He thought for a while, "Well, it's beautiful."

"A lot of people?"

"a lot of."

"Then you...will you go back and see?"

The teenager next to him suddenly stopped, then turned his head and smiled: "Didn't you say it, you can't go back when you come out?"

"I can't go back forever."

For some reason, Xuanji suddenly felt a little sad, the night was about to fall, and the wind whimpered with a hint of chill. She hugged his arm tightly and said nothing again.

When returning to the inn, the purple fox was lying on the window sill and looking up at the sky, mumbling, not knowing what to say.

Xuanji brought her a lot of delicious food, and brought them up and threw them on the table, smiling and greeted her: "Purple fox! The horse meat and sesame cakes here are delicious! Me! I bought you a lot, come and eat!"

Her speech was interrupted suddenly, and she was a little uncomfortable. She walked over with her big tail and glanced proudly at the food on the table. It was delicious and drooling. She couldn't pull the bottom, and said thank you in a low voice, grabbed a piece of horse meat and started to gnaw.

The door was suddenly opened, and it turned out that Zhong Minyan and Ruoyu had also returned. The two of them probably ran away for a drink secretly. They were all drunk. As soon as Zhong Minyan came in, he asked loudly, "How is it? Are you optimistic? When can we leave?"

The purple fox swallowed the horse meat in his mouth and said lightly: "Tomorrow night is the new moon, and the period from the new moon to the full moon is the best day to go to Zhoushan. You can leave tomorrow."

"Ah, really?!" Zhong Min burst into radiance instantly, overjoyed.

The purple fox glared at him, and said, "Buzhou Mountain is also considered a holy place. It's not good for a dusty land like yours. When you get to the foot of the mountain, you should clean it up and change into new clothes! "Mao" the kid is tarnished."

Everyone heard that they could go to Buzhou Mountain tomorrow. They were all very happy. Even Zhong Minyan didn’t care about her such bad words. He rubbed her "hairy" head and said with a smile: "I know! I hope you can success!"

Zihu did not speak. This time, she was in the mood to die, whether she was a human or a demon, if she was not afraid of death, there was really nothing left to say.

When Xuanji took a shower and was drying her hair in the aisle, Zhong Minyan came out of the house alone with a hip flask. When the two met, there was nothing to say.

In the end, Zhong Minyan smiled and started his head first: "Is he worried about going to Zhoushan?"

Xuanji nodded silently, and after a while, she said, "Ting Nu said...it's dangerous there."

He raised his head and drank a large sip of "milk" wine from the spout. Although the taste of the wine was strange, but after drinking too much, it was still vigorous, and his stomach was burning like fire.

"Are you worried that you will die, or that you won't be able to save Linglong and the second brother?" He smiled somewhat mockingly.

"Both." She took a breath. "I don't want to die. As long as I don't die, there is always a chance to rescue them. But if I can't save them this time, I will be very sad."

Zhong Minyan held the flask in silence for a while, and suddenly said: "I won't think so much. I will only work hard."

Xuanji raised his eyes to look at him, only to feel that his eyes were scorching fiercely, and the silver hook hanging on the horizon was reflected in it. There was a kind of violent **** that was completely different from Yu Sifeng. Her throat suddenly trembled, her hand holding the railing tightened, and she whispered: "I...I will try my best."

He didn't seem to hear clearly, and squinted to look over, Xuanji turned away and went back to the room, saying: "Get some rest early. I'm asleep."

Close the door, just listen to him suddenly say outside the door: "You don't have to worry about anything, just as before."

Xuanzhen lay back on the bed in a daze, feeling even more tired for no reason. After a long time, she finally let out a low sigh from her chest.

Zhong Minyan drank the "milk" wine in the aisle and was also a little drunk. He staggered to go back to his room. Suddenly, there was a bang on the aisle window, as if someone was gently smashing it up with something.

He glanced down at random, no one, so he didn't care. Unexpectedly, something smashed up again after a while, and there were two noises. He froze for a moment, then made two more sounds.

Someone down! He pushed open the window of the aisle, and saw a black shadow flashing by downstairs, fast as lightning, watching his body, he was a man of cultivation. Zhong Minyan became suspicious, threw the hip flask, turned over and jumped downstairs to catch up.

After a long time, another door in the aisle was gently opened, and Ruoyu slowly walked to the opened window and glanced down.

The crescent moon was like a hook, and the hazy moonlight stretched his shadow on the ground for a long time.

He held his arms and stood at the window for a long, long time.
