Chapter 43: Dark Shadows in the Middle of the Night
A hard, cold palm like a poisonous snake instantly grabbed the black figure's neck, and with a fierce force, accompanied by a painful groan and exclamation, dragged the person outside the house into the grass hut and fell to the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a gasp in the darkness, like a demon's grin, like a desperate fear, yearning for blood to extinguish the shiver in the nightmare.
"Ah!" exclaimed, with crying and fear, trembling like withered grass in the wind.
The tide of darkness was surging, drumming in this lonely grass hut, and the insidious and fierce black blade pierced the darkness, pierced the wind, pierced her clothes, and stabbed directly into her chest!
His eyes were bright but cold!
In the midst of the determination and slaughter, he saw the blurred outline of the face and heard the wail.
The darkness suddenly stopped, like a tide suddenly frozen in mid-air, all sounds disappeared, and at that moment it seemed as if even the blood had stopped flowing.
The cold blade passed through her clothes and sank into her plump chest, and a little deeper, it was life and death.
The world outside the house seemed to slowly recover, and it was as if I heard a sound in my ears again, and the wind was blowing like a tide.
The blade still hadn't left, and she lay on the ground cold, not daring to move.
I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a moment, but it seemed like a lifetime, and the snow-like coldness that pressed on my heart slowly lifted up and retreated into the darkness.

"Pop!" a spark exploded, and then lit the candle on the table.
The dim candlelight dispelled the darkness and added a touch of warmth to this lonely grass hut. When the light fell on the ground, the figure turned its head, but it was a clang.
She looked a little embarrassed at the moment, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and her face was frighteningly pale. She sat up slowly, looking at the man standing at the table, and the dagger still in his hand.
It was a black, dull-looking dagger.
Lu Chen turned around and looked at her silently, and after a while, he walked over and closed the door of the grass hut.
The terrible wind seemed to be much quieter all of a sudden, and the chill seemed to be blocked out of the door, Ding Dong's face was a little better, and he slowly got up from the ground, but there was still a little fear in his eyes when he looked at Lu Chen, and after a while, she whispered: "You almost killed me just now." ”
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, put away the black short sword, walked to the side and poured a bowl of water, handed it to Ding Dong, and then said in a calm tone: "You shouldn't want to touch my house at this time." ”
Ding Dong's head lowered slightly, holding the water bowl in both hands, sat down on Lu Chen's bed, and slowly sipped.
Lu Chen walked to the table and pulled a stool, sat down opposite Ding Dong, and didn't say anything more, just looked at her.
Aside from the fright, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Clank, but perhaps because of some exhaustion, the woman's face looked a little haggard.
After a while, Ding Dong put the water bowl aside and said, "I'm too tired to walk to the village below the mountain, so I want to come to you to rest first." ”
Lu Chen glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

There was a futon on the bed, and there was even a faint residual temperature in the quilt, and when Ding Dong lay down, he would think that Lu Chen should have been lying here not long ago. It's not as comfortable as the boudoir at home, but it's still a reassuring and warm place in the dark night.
Lu Chen stood in front of the bed and covered her with a quilt, and the two looked at each other, and the light of the candle flame was reflected in his eyes. Ding Dong's body under the futon trembled slightly, it was a faint trembling feeling, but after a while, Lu Chen turned around and walked to the table and blew out the little candle.
The darkness came and his figure blurred, and he walked to the bed, then lay down on the floor beside the bed.
That night, they seemed to have very few words, and for some reason, they didn't say the jokes and frivolous things that they usually had on weekdays, but more just silence.
In the dark, I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a faint sound of jingling, "Have you slept?"
"Not yet. Lu Chen's voice came from the ground next to the bed.
Ding Dong was silent for a while and said, "Are you cold?"
"It's okay, it's not cold. ”
"Don't you want to ask me why I'm like this, or why I keep going to the mountains?"
This time Lu Chen didn't answer, he was silent in the dark for a while, and then said, "If you don't say it, I won't ask." ”
Clankle was silent again, and for a long time, there was no sound in the hut, but because it was so quiet, it seemed that he could always faintly feel each other's breathing not far away, and perhaps, the heartbeat in his own chest.
Jingle slowly curled up under the futon, her hands clasped around her chest, as if she felt a little cold. After a long while, she suddenly whispered, "I want to tell you something, okay?"
Lu Chen: "Okay. ”
Ding Dong: "I went up the mountain to Longhu to meet someone. ”
Lu Chen: "Hmm. ”
Ding Dong: "That person is Li Ji." ”
Lu Chen: "......"
Ding Dong: "The spirit stones I borrowed from you, plus my own savings, were all given to him, so that he would have the opportunity to enter the Qianqiu Gate." ”
Lu Chen: "......"
Ding Dong: "He made a private agreement with me for life, he said that he was talented, as long as he had the opportunity to appreciate the immortal mirror, he would definitely be accepted by Qianqiumen." At that time, he came to help me go up the mountain again, and from then on, the path of fellow practitioners was the family of the gods. ”
Lu Chen: "You believe it?"
Jingle Bell: "Hmm. ”
In the darkness, Lu Chen turned over, turned sideways, and looked at an unknown place in the darkness. After a while, he whispered, "You're tired, go to bed early." ”
Dingdong was silent for a moment and said, "Okay." ”
