After eating, Zheng Zhilan went to wash the dishes.

In the countryside, there is no dishwashing sink like in the city, so I wash it in a large iron pot in an earthen stove, and then take it out and clean it after washing. Because she had bad eyes, she had to wash them again and again in order to wash them clean.

Zhou Li really couldn't stand it, and walked up to her: "I'll help you." ”

Zheng Zhilan only hesitated, then nodded.

The lamp is incandescent, hung from the ceiling with wires, and a few cobwebs are stained on it, sprinkling orange and yellow lights, illuminating the traces of the grinding of white porcelain bowls.

Zheng Zhilan watched him wash from the side.

After finishing the matter, the two went to the hall.

Qinghe was sewing clothes, and Huaixu was watching.

The picture of a demon with a distorted and terrifying face threading a needle with a sharp claw also made Zhou Li stunned for a moment, and then he was afraid of being rude, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and sat down on the bench.

I took out my phone and glanced at it, and it took a lot of time to talk while eating, and before I knew it, it was almost ten o'clock.

Only 3G signal.

He saw the WeChat sent by Aunt Jiang, and his WeChat was very empty, only the elders were added.

Aunt Jiang: The Ximen Bridge was flooded this afternoon, did it rain heavily over there?

Zhou Li: Fortunately, it's great to see the rain in the mountains.

This 3G is much slower than he imagined, and the message turned two or three times before it was sent, so after thinking about it, he replied: I will pay attention to safety here, but the scenery is beautiful, and I may have to stay a few more days before coming back.

Then he put away his phone.

Feeling a little wrong, Zhou Li turned his head and found Zheng Zhilan staring at him.

Zhou Li: ......

Zheng Zhilan retracted her gaze very indifferently and whispered, "Have you brought toiletries?" If you don't bring them, I have spare ones, they are all new." ”

"Brought it. ”

"Upstairs to be able to take a shower with hot water. ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

"No, I don't. Zheng Zhilan covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, and then she asked Zhou Li again, "It's boring in the mountains, right?"

"It's quiet, it's nice. ”

To be honest, Zhou Li quite likes this environment, he doesn't like to play games or play with mobile phones, but he is not sure if he will change his opinion if he lives here for a long time. Thinking about it this way, Zheng Zhilan's eyesight is so poor, she doesn't even have a TV here, what is her life like?

Zhou Li didn't understand.

Maybe it was a world he couldn't feel.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was another roar from the sky, full of breath and deafening.

It seems like...... Right above your head?

Zhou Li couldn't help but raise his head and look, and then he looked at Zheng Zhilan, but he saw Zheng Zhilan's calm face, as if she had long been accustomed to it, but she seemed to have always had this expression.

"Does he do this often?" Zhou Li asked.

"Occasionally, it's raining today, and he might be more fond of playing in the water. Zheng Zhilan replied, "In the past, he rarely did this, always lying on the mountain to sleep, maybe it was the reason why more and more demons have awakened over the years." ”

"When did he wake up?"

"More than a decade ago. ”

"So early!" Huai Xu turned his head and interjected, "It's also possible that his strength hasn't recovered before, and he has slowly recovered to his peak, so he will be happy." ”

"Possibly. Zheng Zhilan nodded.

"I would venture to ask again—that, is that the one he is wise?" Huai Xu was still staring in the direction above his head, sensing the moving vortex of spiritual power, this kind of thing that he thought could only be done by those animals without brains.

"Yes, I think. ”

"Have you spoken to him?"

"Nope. ”

"You said he wouldn't speak. ”

"Yes. ”

"That's right, he was once wanted by a demon or a human, and he was obviously an evil monster. Huai Xu said, "Some of the evil monsters are caused by low IQ and instinctive aggressiveness, I don't think this thing is the kind of demon who has high intelligence but doesn't take life seriously." ”

"You're covered in starlight, too. Zheng Zhilan said.

"What starlight?" Zhou Li asked.

"There is a mark on the monster's body, which is equivalent to the name of the demon, and when the demon is killed, this mark will be attached to the perpetrator. The colors are different, the sizes are different, and the stars are very beautiful. "I haven't remembered what I've done before, but I'm certainly not an evil demon. ”

"Again, if you're one of those evil monsters, you'll be killed by the evil god when you walk into the village. ”

"Then he may indeed have some wisdom, not high. ”

"Don't speak ill of him. ”

"Okay. ”

Huai Xu continued to turn his head to see and sew the clothes.

I saw Qinghe's operation, and the thread was like a centipede leg, but as he finished sewing and pulling, all the threads were collected one by one from beginning to end, and finally there was no trace of sewing at all.

Huai Xu suddenly had a black question mark face.

At this time, Zheng Zhilan yawned again, she looked at Zhou Li apologetically: "Look at it, only tomorrow I can teach you the basics of cultivation, I'm not very sober now, but we can chat, what do you want to eat tomorrow? Do you want to eat mutton boiled or mutton soup or roast mutton? I will do it." ”

Zhou Li was embarrassed: "If you're sleepy, you can go to sleep first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huai Xu turned his head to look at him.

Zheng Zhilan was obviously a little reluctant, but she still nodded: "Then I'll go wash up first, you can do it yourself, the signal in the mountains may not be very good, you give it a try." ”

"Good. ”

Zhou Li nodded.

Zheng Zhilan left, and then Qinghe, who finished sewing clothes, also left, while Zhou Li sat and watched the rain outside, and gradually became a little cooler around him.

An hour later.

Zhou Li stood at the door of the room.

They live on the second floor.

In the countryside, there is nothing else, but the land is wide and there are many houses and rooms. This room should have been where Zheng Zhilan's parents or elders lived in before, it was very wide, but apparently no one had lived in it for a long time, and although Zheng Zhilan cleaned it cleanly, she could still smell a little dust and mold.

Zhou Li didn't mind, looked at the wooden bed and the floor next to it, and said, "I sleep on the floor, you sleep on the bed." ”

"No, I sleep on the floor, by the window, in case that guy goes crazy in the middle of the night, I can run!"

"Good. ”

The lights in the room quickly went out.

Zhou Li noticed that there was also a light in the yard, and it was always on at night, but the curtains were very light-insulating.

On a rainy night, the whole world is ringing.

There is tranquility in the midst of the noise.

Huai Xu's voice sounded, and it was rare that it didn't come from above Zhou Li's head: "Zhou Li, I really think that girl has a plot against you, you see, after killing the chicken, she will kill the sheep tomorrow." ”

In his opinion, this is a great courtesy.

The kind that entertains my uncle.

Zhou Li's face darkened: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat sheep?"

". ”

“...... Don't talk nonsense. ”

"I'm serious. Huai Xu turned over, straightened up his upper body and stared at Zhou Li, as if he was leaning out half of his body from the top bunk, "I suspect that she will frame you with food first, and then, she will look okay, and then let you fall into her gentle nest step by step......"

"Gentle Township!"

"Oh, gentle township! Then you married her, and stayed in this mountain village from now on!" Huai Xu accentuated his tone, "This is not good, you have to go to college!"

“...... Go to sleep. ”

"I'm serious! Zhou Li, you have to control yourself, you can't joke about going to college!"

“...... Good night. ”

Suddenly, there was another roar outside.

Huai Xu sighed and began to mutter again: "Alas, this is really ...... But I think this guy is the real murderer, and it is estimated that in ancient times, he was a big devil who was angry with people, otherwise what would a big demon like him do to be beaten like that? If he is let out, tsk, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Zhou Li opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling: "What do you mean......"

"Not necessarily. ”

Huai Xu said while thinking: "She may not want to let this demon out to harm the world, or she may not want him to go out and be found again, and then be killed, of course, it may also be that she has been with that demon for a long time and has feelings, and she simply stays here to accompany him and believe in him." ”

Zhou Li did not speak.

Huai Xu's voice sounded again: "You don't sleep now? Do you think what I just said makes sense, those who have achieved great things can't fall into the love of their children." ”

Zhou Li: ......

At the same time, a room on the ground floor.

Qinghe sat silently by the window, he didn't need to sleep, and Zheng Zhilan lay on the bed for a long time and didn't fall asleep.

She had insomnia, which was rare.

Suddenly, she turned her head and asked, "Qinghe, what do you think of people as they are?"

Qinghe was stunned.

How does he portray red to a person who can't see it?

Fortunately, he knew Zheng Zhilan well enough, so he said: "The hair is one by one, the skin is white, there are fluff on it, and there are eyelashes on the eyes, which are good-looking, with eyebrows, and lines on the lips......"

He was not human, but he spoke human language from the organs of another creature, and his voice sounded strange.

Zheng Zhilan listened carefully.

Her eyes are innate, eighteen years ago there were still very few demons, very few, the whole world in her eyes was blurred, adults said that her mother went to the factory when she was pregnant with her and was exposed to radiation, causing her to be born half-blind and dystocia, she also thought so.

Until one day, she followed the adults to the temple of evil gods to worship, and she saw a behemoth lying behind the temple napping.

The monster was terrible, and she thought it was terrible.

She wasn't supposed to feel that way.

As time passed, she realized a pattern, she could see those extraordinary things, and she could see them very clearly, and the more powerful and special creatures were in her eyes.
