The last flash of light disappeared into the sky, and the sky dimmed, like a huge black curtain, enveloping the whole world, and countless grains of rice fluorescent were hanging on the curtain, which were shining stars.

Zhao Yi walked along a path, the barren grass on both sides of the road buried over the top of people's heads, wilderness and mountains, empty and lonely, fortunately, the two of them are not ordinary people, one is a martial artist who has experienced the three grades of martial arts and has experienced the tempering of the battlefield, and the other is a powerful sword cultivator, in such an environment, he does not feel afraid at all.

In order not to look lonely and lonely, Zhao Yi found words to talk to the girl on her back from time to time, but the girl seemed to be obsessed with the previous things and didn't treat him very much.

Zhao Yi knew that the girl was still angry with him, but there was no way to do it, his original image in front of the girl was that of an unbearable country boy, and it was strange to get into the eyes of the girl.

Maybe in the girl's heart, she didn't pay attention to a person like him who had no identity and was not special.

However, so what, even if he Zhao Yi was born poor and has no identity, he can also be young and smiling like a flower, and he can walk for a long time, drink spirits and ride a strong horse, and do some extraordinary things.

What's more, he, Zhao Yi, was originally from an extraordinary background.

"The wind blows the skirt up, the horse flies, and a pot of spirits accompanies you, who knows the taste of solitude. ”

Zhao Yi suddenly opened his throat and sang loudly, in the wilderness, his voice spread far away, startling the unknown wild birds.

"What a broken song, the ghost cries and the wolf howls, and the noise is dead. The girl on her back complained.

"Sister, have you ever seen a ghost cry and heard a wolf howl?"

Zhao Yi asked deliberately, finally attracting the girl's respect, he didn't want her to be silent again.

"Didn't you hear that just now? But how can you, a country boy, sing such a melancholy poem?"

Zhao Yi laughed a few times and continued: "I heard it from a teacher, but I just learned to roar like that, and I didn't know what it meant. ”

Maybe he got acquainted with the girl, and at the same time, he was also trying to pretend to be more like an innocent country boy, so he had the courage to say some ignorant words: "Sister, in this barren mountain and wilderness, I don't know where there are people, if I can't find a place to spend the night, I'll carry you on my back and walk all the way." ”

The girl on her back snorted and said, "You think beautifully, if you can't find a place to stay, the old and new accounts will be added together and you will be settled." ”

After Zhao Yi heard this, he immediately shouted: "Sister, you are unreasonable, I really didn't mean to do that before, and I apologized to you." ”

Who knew that the girl on her back snorted coldly and said coldly: "Rascal!"

"I'm not a scoundrel! Sister, you have to trust me. Zhao Yi repeatedly argued, how sincere he should be.

"Oily tone, I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect to hold back a bad idea in my heart. ”

Seeing that the girl's tone was becoming more and more hostile, Zhao Yi had no choice but to surrender, he understood a truth, reasoning with this plain-looking but clever girl, it was boring to talk to himself, the only way was to keep his mouth shut and don't say anything.

Although Lu Qingxin looked cold to him and spoke in a somewhat indifferent tone, he was not as arrogant and unreasonable as this girl.

Zhao Yi was walking while thinking wildly in his heart.

"Why don't you speak?" asked the girl on her back suddenly.

"You said that my voice was like a ghost crying wolf, in this wilderness, it was dark again, and I was afraid to scare you. ”

Seeing Zhao Yi's sour tone, the girl snorted and said, "Stingy, I'm angry when I talk about it, a big man is smaller than a woman." ”

"Whatever you say is what you say. Zhao Yi made up his mind not to argue with the girl.

"You!"

The girl was so angry by Zhao Yi's attitude that she snorted heavily, and then stopped talking.

But secretly thought in her heart, this kid is really a hooligan, not only can he pretend to be stupid, but his energy is still very small, and sometimes he is dumbfounded, he has no eyesight, she doesn't understand why she took him, she already knew the result of the first sword, and saved a lot of trouble.

After entering the cold winter, the cold wind blowing desperately, especially in this wilderness, lonely and desolate, coupled with the cold wind, made people feel even more uncomfortable, but for Zhao Yi, who had been honing on the battlefield for three years, he did not feel uncomfortable at all.

The two walked silently for a while, and only heard the cold wind in their ears, and Lin Tao gusted.

"Hey, you see there's a light ahead. The girl said softly suddenly.

Zhao Yi heard the girl say that there was a light in front of him, so he didn't pay attention to the girl's tone of calling him, he looked up and looked ahead, there was really a figure in the distance, holding a lamp in his hand, walking slowly.

He forgot that he was walking on this barren mountain and mountain at night, and he had not raised a lamp.

"There seems to be someone in front of me, walking alone in this barren mountain and wilderness so late, and he is not afraid. ”

"Aren't we the same?"

Liu Jianchen ignored the girl's words, his feet sped up, and after a while, he caught up with the person in front, an old man walking on a rickety body

"Husband, please wait a minute. Zhao Yi shouted.

The man in front of him stopped, turned around slowly, raised the lamp in his hand to shine it, and shouted, "Who are you?"

Zhao Yi was a little flustered when he saw the old man's expression, too, in such a place, he suddenly heard someone shouting, so it was strange not to be startled.

"Uncle, we are not bad people, our sister and brother met a big insect on the mountain road and fled all the way here. Zhao Yi took a few steps forward to let the old man see clearly.

The girl on her back opened her mouth when she saw Zhao Yi's ability to lie, and her suspicion of this young man became a little stronger.

The old man held the lamp and looked at it, and saw that the two of them were embarrassed, it was indeed like they had fled from the tiger's mouth, and his tense face instantly eased a lot.

Zhao Yi also looked at the old man, and saw that he had gray hair and was dressed in coarse linen, but he cleaned up very neatly, and his demeanor was not tacky, not like an ordinary farmer.

"Why are you still walking here on this big night? The old man said.

Zhao Yi said with a bitter face: "My sister and I met a big worm, and we finally escaped, all the way here, may I ask my father-in-law, what is this place?"

The old man stared at a pair of dim eyes, looked at the two of them carefully, and then said, "This is the Widow's Mountain." ”

"Widow's Hill, that's a strange name!"

Zhao Yi read a sentence silently, and then asked, "Uncle, do you know that there are villages around here? ”

The old man looked at the two of them with still some suspicion, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Go forward along this road, about ten miles, there is a village, you can go there and spend the night." ”

Zhao Yi looked in the direction pointed by the old man, and saw a densely wooded forest in front of him, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Uncle, where are you going so late?" Zhao Yi asked again.

The old man turned around and walked forward and said, "I came back from eating wine at my third son-in-law's house, and I left late, so I caught up with the night road." ”

Zhao Yi hurriedly moved to keep up with his father-in-law.

"I see that you are not lightly injured, hurry up, I am old and frail, and I can't walk fast. The old man said as he walked, and he walked slowly with his back bent.

Zhao Yi thought about it, he couldn't accompany the old man to walk so slowly, when would he have to go to the village in front of him, so he bothered the old man and walked forward quickly with the girl on his back.

After entering the forest, the light became even dimmer, but fortunately, Zhao Yi's eyesight was extraordinary, and he could see clearly in the dark.

After walking for a while, the girl on her back suddenly whispered, "That old man just now is not an ordinary person. ”

Zhao Yi asked as he walked, "Really, what do I think of that old man as an ordinary person, and the old man in our village is also like him." ”

"Of course you can't see it. The girl sneered.

Zhao Yi didn't pay attention to the girl's ridicule, he thought about it, the old man just now really didn't see anything extraordinary in terms of his appearance, but it was a little strange for such an old man to walk alone in this desolate mountain in the dark.

"Stop!" the girl said coldly.

Zhao Yi stopped as he said, but asked in his mouth, "What's wrong?"

"We can't get out of this forest like this. ”

"Why?"

"Ghost hits the wall!"

Zhao Yi was shocked, when he was a child, he read the record of "ghosts hitting the wall" in the books left by his predecessors, saying that he was walking alone at night, if he encountered "ghosts hitting the wall", he would not know, he just kept walking and walking, until dawn, only to find that he had walked all night, but he was still in the same place, and it turned out that he was spinning in place all night.

"Is it really a ghost hitting the wall?, is there a ghost?" Zhao Yi's tone trembled a little.

He took the opportunity to look around, only to see that the surrounding forests were all the same, there was no difference, just now all the way, Zhao Yi only thought about getting to the village that the old man said quickly, so as to find a family, to see if he could get two sets of clothes, and change the bloodstained clothes on his body, so he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment.

When did he encounter a "ghost hitting the wall" and came here with a girl on his back, but Zhao Yi couldn't figure it out.

"There's no ghost from there hitting the wall, idiot!" the girl scolded softly.

Zhao Yi noticed that the girl's eyes were glowing with a dim light, as if she could see through everything around her.

"Put me down. The girl patted Zhao Yi's shoulder and said softly.

Zhao Yi put down the girl according to his words, and at the same time stretched out a hand to help the girl, looking at her, but he didn't know what the girl was going to do.

I saw that the girl used her eyes with yellow light, quickly scanned the surroundings, and then swung a sword with her finger to the front, and a little ripple came out of the girl's fingers, and the forest suddenly rippled like a lake, and then quickly spread around.

There was a terrible cry in the woods, which made people creepy and howl.

After a while, Liu Jianchen found that the scene in front of him had changed, he and the girl were on a bluestone slab step, surrounded by towering ancient trees, gloomy and gloomy, so not mad. At the end of the bluestone steps, there is a house, which is shrouded by the surrounding giant trees, and the courtyard is dimly lit.

"There's a house there, it can't be a haunted house, right?"

Zhao Yi's face showed a look of horror, and his voice trembled unconsciously, holding the girl's hand to hold the girl's arm tightly.

The girl sneered and said, "I heard that ghosts like to eat the hearts and livers of bad people the most, so you have to be careful." ”

"I ...... Why should I be careful. ”

"You know it yourself. ”

Zhao Yi peeked at the look on the girl's face and knew that he had completely offended her, and the image of an innocent and honest country boy that he had worked so hard to erect before was also ruined at all.

Zhao Yi had to make a desperate drag on the girl's arm, as if he was terrified.

The girl didn't care if Zhao Yi was scared, but said coldly: "Carry me over and take a look." ”

Zhao Yi trembled and picked up the girl on his back and walked towards the forest house, his steps looking extremely heavy.
