Meng Heng saw that he didn't answer his words, glanced at him boringly, and said lightly: "In the past few days, except for His Royal Highness the Prince, no one has bothered at home, so I don't bother to bother with that effort." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu unconsciously felt inexplicably happy in his heart, Fang put down the young man's hands, and said with a smile: "It's good for Doctor Meng to rest for a few more days." ”

After speaking, he took out a plain white brocade handkerchief in his arms, gently stroked the tip of the young man's nose, and wiped away the black marks little by little.

Seeing that it was clean, Fang carefully looked at the young man's face, smiled with satisfaction, sat opposite the young man on both sides, and asked, "......What is the child just now?"

Meng Heng subconsciously wrinkled the tip of his nose, glanced away, and said, "Lord Fu Yin saw that the child was pitiful and had no one to foster him, and he couldn't bear to hand it over to the ordinary woman's aunt to take and sell, so he entrusted me to raise it, and I agreed." ”

Xiao Yu nodded knowingly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Dr. Meng to be so benevolent." ”

Meng Heng sneered, shook his head, and sneered: "You are the word that is the most useless to me." I'm just lazy to take care of it. ”

The words fell but seemed to sigh lightly, and said: "Only this child's heart is as clean as a blank paper, and I feel comfortable when I look into his eyes." I want to come to Meng's house and the place is big, and a child can still be raised, so I just agreed. ”

"I see." Xiao Yu looked at the young man's slightly sighed expression and said thoughtfully.

The two of them sat in this pavilion for a while, only then did they feel that the cold air had invaded, and it was a little cold, Xiao Yu was afraid that the young man would freeze, so he forced him to enter the house, so he gave up.

Until the afternoon dining time, Xiao Yu took the boy to the Sogo Pavilion again, it was a cold winter, there was no fire in the Sogo Pavilion, but I don't know how to arrange the laying, it made it warm, and there was a shopkeeper who specially went to the mountain to bring the game, the taste was more delicious than the summer and autumn seasons, the two tasted it, full of wine and food, drank tea and chatted, until the dusk time to return to the house.

Meng Heng couldn't stand Xiao Yu's nagging, and as soon as he lifted the curtain of the car, he jumped out of the carriage quickly, and waved his hand to the young man who poked his head out behind him without looking back, and was about to enter the house.

The young man was a little helpless, so he had to quickly jump out of the carriage, take two quick steps, step forward with the young man, put the cloak in his hand on the young man's shoulder, lowered his voice slightly, and said: "Don't take it off again, the cold at night is overwhelming, if Dr. Meng catches a cold because he goes out with me, it will really make me feel uneasy." ”

But seeing that the young man still looked careless and wanted to raise his hand to untie his cloak, Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Otherwise, I will send Dr. Meng in, and I can rest assured when I see Dr. Meng enter the house well." ”

Meng Heng made a move in his hand, glanced at the young man, and then grinned, and lazily replied, "Don't dare to work for you", Fang ignored the cloak on his shoulder, shook his head, and entered the house.

The young man sighed amusedly, and stood there looking at the boy again, until the slender back disappeared from sight, then turned and boarded the carriage, and left slowly.

Over there, Meng Heng suddenly put away his lazy appearance the moment he stepped into the house, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and there was a trace of uncertainty in his eyes.

*

This is the third night in a row.

The crescent moon hung high, the stars were sparse, and there was no snow, only the sound of the wind knocking on the yellowed bamboo.

Meng Heng sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes were dim, only a ray of moonlight like water shone through the thin gauze paper in front of the window, bringing some light.

He quietly stroked the bamboo flute in his sleeve.

Speaking of which, this flute made of phoenix-eyed bamboo was cut down on a piece of bamboo by the young man in the young man's house last time, and he picked the best part of it to make it.

Who let his flute be left behind because of that goblin attack?

Thinking of that demon, Meng Heng's expression couldn't help but become a little more solemn.

Since he moved to this house, Xu is located in a more densely populated area in Beijing, but he has rarely been harassed and attacked by goblins anymore.

Besides, there are still goblins from No. 001 to No. 016 in the house, and the goblins rarely interfere with each other, so they shouldn't have entered other goblins at will.

Today, however, the situation is somewhat odd.

This sudden demonic aura has been lingering in his house for three days, but this demon has never appeared, not only that, but there is also a faint aura on this demon's body that makes him feel inexplicably familiar.

It seems to have a resemblance to the demon that was attacked outside the Imperial History Mansion in the left capital last time.

Could it be...... Similar?

At that time, he suddenly heard a hoarse roar outside the window, and Meng Heng squinted his eyes suddenly.

It's the cry of the rabbit spirit No. 003.

He got up quickly, pushed open the door in three or two steps, and walked out, looking intently into the courtyard.

But there was no rabbit spirit, only the vigilant appearance of the tanuki boy, hunched over, like a fierce beast ready to pounce on the enemy at any time.

Meng Heng swiped his eyes again, only to find that there were not only tanuki boys in the courtyard at this time, but also No. 001 painted skin spirit and several other goblins were also here, but the number was not complete.

Some goblins disappeared inexplicably.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind hit, and I saw that the few goblins left in the court looked even more awe-inspiring, all of them were ready to fight at any time.

It's a strange scene.

Although these goblins can listen to his dispatch on weekdays, they are extremely lazy to compete with their kind, and they are neither friends nor enemies, which is their consistent attitude, so Meng Heng does not expect them to help him expel the monsters recently.

At this point, however, the situation is clearly very different.

It seems that the demon who is hovering above the Meng Mansion this time is not only not good at him, but he also does not intend to let go of these kind.

Meng Heng no longer hesitated, he quietly raised the bamboo flute to his lips, and stroked it with his slender and white fingers.

The melodious tune drifted out, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing the bamboo leaves made it particularly treacherous and depressing.

It's like a tragic lament.

The little demons in the middle of the court had no strength to parry, but they also knew that Meng Heng was not coming for themselves this time, so they didn't struggle, just let their bodies fall to the ground, hoping that Meng Heng could use the tunes they had learned to subdue the uninvited guests who couldn't go.

At the end of the song, the strange wind gradually stopped, and the courtyard seemed to be quiet again.

Meng Heng frowned.

It would take a few hours for the hypnotic effect to pass, so at this time, the tanuki in the courtyard were still lying on their backs, not moving.

The uninvited guest was silent.

But something was wrong. Although the strange aura had been greatly weakened, the aura that made him feel familiar had increased rather than decreased.

It even faintly, little by little, hooked the resonance of the blood in his body.

Suddenly, the breath swept in.

Meng Heng's face was ugly for a moment.

He jerked around and walked back into the room, banging the door behind him.

But the moment the door closed, the whole person fell to the ground without warning, curled up in a ball.

*

Xiao Yu looked at the Meng Mansion with the door locked in front of him, and felt a dull and anxious feeling in his heart.

This is the third time he has been turned away.

Two days ago, Luo Yun only said that Mr. was unwell and lazy to see guests, he was worried, and wanted to go in to visit the young man, but was stopped by Luo Yun, and felt wrong at the moment, but he couldn't bear to go against the young man's will, so he had to retreat.

Yesterday, it was still the same.

Today, even Luo Yun refused to come out again, and only coldly showed people with this closed door.

Juvenile him...... What's going on?

Li Qing looked at the figure of his master standing outside Meng's house on the side, and was a little unbearable, so he stepped forward again and stepped to the door, knocking on the copper buckle on the vermilion door for a while.

No one answered.

He frowned, and just as he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door again, he heard a "squeak" and the door was opened from the inside.

Xiao Yu on the side couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward, but saw Luo Yun walking out of the door, his face was a little bleak and sad compared to yesterday.

"Xiao Gongzi, why are you still here?" As soon as Luo Yun's words came out, he suddenly felt a little rude, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, my husband is still inconvenient to see guests today, Xiao Gongzi, please go back." ”

After speaking, he was about to turn around and close the door and go back, but Xiao Yu stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed the edge of the door, and couldn't move.

Xiao Yujian's eyebrows furrowed, he carefully looked at the hurried look on Luo Yun's face, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with your husband?" ”

Luo Yun's eyes dimmed slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he finally pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xiao Yu realized the seriousness of the matter in his heart, but although he was panicked, he had to soften his voice and said: "Luo Yun, you should know how my friendship with Dr. Meng is, now that Dr. Meng has an accident, I shouldn't stand idly by." ”

Seeing that Luo Yun's expression moved, as if there were traces of being moved, he hurriedly continued: "Can you bear to watch your husband endure the pain alone without anyone taking care of him?" ”

"I ......" Luo Yun subconsciously shook his head to deny, his eyes stared at by Xiao Yu were already full of worry and panic, he glanced at the young man in front of him a few times, and finally bit his lower lip tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Gongzi...... Please be sure to help my husband! 166 Reading Network
