Chapter 10: A New Night in the Remnant Village
"It's getting late, although this house is not tolerated, the village can be used as a place to stay if the houses are cleaned up slightly, and I hope the two of you will understand. Seeing Shen Hongning leave with Eldest Sun Mu, the man who had been silent suddenly spoke.
"Hmmm......"
Glancing at the eldest grandson Mu who heard this but was still silent and walked forward, Shen Hongning responded slightly, but gently turned his head and glanced at the man curiously.
Under the slightly dim tone, no matter how you look at the man, there is an inexplicable sense of coldness. Seeing this, Shen Hongning frowned slightly, and when he turned around, he kept up with Changsun Mu's pace and accelerated a lot.
And when the backs of the two of them were about to disappear, they saw that the corners of the mouths of the man and the woman who were supporting He Mingyuan were raised slightly, and the left and right hands of the supporters were slightly relaxed, and it could be seen that the bruises between He Mingyuan's arms were very eye-catching.
"Let's go. Seeing this, the man let go of his left hand of "support", and replaced it with his right hand to squeeze He Mingyuan's neck, and moved behind the door with a cold face. The woman glanced at the direction in which the eldest grandson and Mu had left, and with a slight nod, she stepped through the door with a slanted smile on her face.
When the sun sets, the crows dance, and there are occasional reptiles chirping under the way, when walking to the edge of the village, the eldest grandson Mu's body pauses slightly, and it has stopped.
"How many have you guessed?" Turning to look at Shen Hongning, the eldest grandson Mu didn't care about the scholarly temperament, and sat on the curb.
Looking at the eldest grandson Mu who was a little embarrassed in front of him, the corners of Shen Hongning's mouth moved slightly, but his eyes moved slightly, and he stopped talking.
"You are not a human Red Court, you should not be able to feel the convergence and fluctuation of the court's power," Eldest Sun Mu put the index finger of his right hand to his lips, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In that courtyard, there is a Red Court hidden. ”
"Red Court?" Shen Hongning's eyes narrowed slightly, and under the slight twist of his slender waist, his gaze was already looking directly in the direction of the courtyard.
"If what I expected is correct, the Red Court hidden in the courtyard is afraid that it is the person who slaughtered the village, of course, I am not absolutely sure whether it is as I thought, but just talked to the three of us, the words are overflowing and there is no logic at all, as soon as you say your own name, you will say that this place is dangerous and expelling, and when you say that you are asking for war, it is a pretext to play, this kind of practice is already against the normal way of valet, and when we are leaving, the man suddenly persuaded us to stay in this room along the village, if it is not necessary to hide the facts, I cannot find any reason to make him say so。 ”
Gently scribbling the sand and gravel on the ground, the eldest grandson Mu's eyebrows tightened, and he stared at the ground silently for a while. ”
The wind blows the sand and stones, and the village along the border is slightly chilled in the silence of this dusk.
The eldest grandson Mu gently rubbed off the fine sand on his fingers, sighed lightly and looked up, but he didn't reach the same place, but he saw Shen Hongning's little face part, and he pretended not to look at his face.
Seeing Shen Hongning's original behavior, Changsun Mu's originally tense heart was relieved for a moment, but in an instant, the consequences of the two people staying in the village were filled with heart, and under the contradiction, Changsun Mu couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
Seeing the appearance of the eldest grandson Mu, Shen Hongning sighed in his heart, but he had a general understanding of this matter.
"From my first impression of you, if things are not out of your power, I'm afraid it's hard to see you like this... No, the strength of the Red Court in this courtyard is far above you. Shen Hongning asked, and the coldness in his voice was also word for word.
"If the Red Court is only stronger than me, I don't have to be afraid of him, Eldest Sun Mu glanced at Shen Hongning and said: "According to what I said on the way, although your strength is not the same as in the past due to the shattering of Huayu, but there is one more demon identity, in the case of his dark self, if we turn light into darkness, we will definitely catch him off guard."
But ......"
Eldest Sun Mu paused slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly
"This Red Court is quite scheming, one is to hide his breath and hide in the courtyard, the second is to instruct his subordinates to reduce our mental defense, and the third is to secretly borrow and use it, calculating that if the night is dark, we will definitely stay in the village. In this way, the method of catching turtles in this urn is already ready. Seeing that the sunset in front of him had dropped to half, Changsun Mu was looking at the few thatched houses along the village again, but there was a little flickering in his eyes.
"Now, since he wants to catch turtles in the urn at night, then we can only welcome him with light and darkness, and the breath of the red court can be measured, but we must not know what we think. Speaking of this, Eldest Sun Mu's tone was much more confident than that.
Watching the eldest grandson Mu pick up the rattan that was placed on the ground during the break, Shen Hongning frowned slightly, but he just wanted to say and stopped, and did not say it easily.
"How? Don't you have other ideas? For this intelligent demon woman, if you put aside the matter of the flower jade, the eldest grandson Mu is curious about her and respects it at the same time. Now this matter may be worried about the lives of the two, and the eldest grandson Mu attaches more importance to his words and deeds.
"Well, I'm wondering, why would the people in that courtyard do this as despicable bandits......, even if they are the Red Court Masters with a slightly respected status in the human world? Catch a turtle in an urn...... I don't understand this kind of behavior, isn't the identity of the Red Court Scholar not enough to form enough satisfaction to give him?"
As soon as these words came out, the eldest grandson Mu was noncommittal and helped the rattan on his back, and sighed lightly: "The demon has different paths, you don't know the bad root nature of the human heart, just as I don't know the bad root nature of the demon heart, I can only say that the seven sins of the human heart are divided into arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony and desire, and the red court in this courtyard is afraid that it will not be able to extricate itself from it." After that, the eldest grandson Mu shook his head like a gesture, and used both gestures and gestures, without saying anything.
Shen Hongning bowed his head slightly, but he didn't ask much, but just glanced at the half-dark sky in the middle of the night, turned his wrist slightly, and looked right.
Now that dusk is coming, the speculation of catching turtles in the urn and the plan of light and dark transformation has officially begun, if it is considered that the speculation is wrong, it can also be regarded as the two of them to prevent trouble, and if it is the same as the speculation, it is possible to grasp some initiative.
And whether it is, in the middle of the village, under the hidden moon, there is a trend of mountain rain coming, and the building is full of scheming.
The single candle is erected, the flame moves slightly, in the small tiled house, a person is reciting a book to the candle, only occasionally the night breeze blows the hall, that person will move with the wind with extremely sharp eyes, and with several repetitions, the person is holding the book and rising, and the eyes are in the corner of the book and the room outside the room to communicate with each other.
At the end of the day, when they first arrived, such behavior, Changsun Mu and Shen Hongning had been repeating for half a time, and with the gradual passage of time, the more they could not calm their hearts, and this unknown risk, the more they waited, the more difficult it was to calm down. But just looking at the current situation of being as quiet as a grave, this person can only wait for a way with a calm mind.
