Shu Kui woke up suddenly, and his eyes were a treetop that pointed straight to the sky like a sword, and in the gap between the treetops, he could see stars like diamonds, which were exceptionally pure and beautiful.

She moved her hands and feet, and found that it was not as stiff as she imagined, so she sat up slowly, first looked down at herself, and saw that she was neatly dressed, so she relaxed and began to look around.

It is a grove of trees, not very dense, but each tree is tall and straight, with a smooth trunk that is half a man thick. On the ground is a small grass like a short fluff, covered with a thin layer of dead leaves, soft to the touch and slightly damp.

The surroundings are very quiet, not to mention the birds and insects, not even the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, Shu Kui doesn't know where this is, and he doesn't know how he came here, looking at it, he can't help but be afraid.

At this moment, the sound of Si Xisuo was heard from afar, and when I listened closely, it seemed that something was stepping on a dead leaf and approaching this way.

Shu Kui was startled, and countless thoughts instantly popped up in her heart, all of which could make her creepy.

And in this stunned kung fu, the footsteps were actually much closer, she didn't care about it, she couldn't care about distinguishing the direction, turned around and ran away, but she didn't think about it, only a few steps, she tripped under her feet, and fell a veritable dog gnawing mud.

The footsteps stopped unhurriedly, and stopped less than a meter away from her.

"Get up." Luckily, it's not a beast, it's a man.

Shu Kui calmed down, wiped the grass clippings on his face, and got up.

"Look up." The man said again.

Shu Kui did as he was told.

Because it was dark and the other party was standing in the shadows, she couldn't see what this person looked like, but she felt that she was being scrutinized and looked at it several times from top to bottom and from bottom to top.

"Where have you been after all these years?" It took a full minute for the man to speak again.

"Have we met? Who are you? What is this place? Shu Kui was confused by the question.

"You don't know what this place is?" The man asked rhetorically, a little surprised.

"I don't know." Shu Kui's heart was at a loss.

The man was silent for a long time, and his body gradually brightened.

Shu Kui had never seen such a scene, and was dumbfounded for a moment, only to realize after a few seconds that the light originated from a small ball on the man's shoulder.

"What's your name? How did you get here? "The man has calmed down.

Shu Kui didn't make a sound, and immediately thought of the news that women were abducted and sold to various places.

"I'm Ling Jiuchuan." The man introduced himself.

The name seemed familiar and unfamiliar, and Shu Kui seemed to have some impressions, but he couldn't remember where he heard it anyway.

"You're in Ye City now." Ling Jiuchuan continued, "Let's go out first, sit down and talk." ”

"Where is Ye Cheng?" Shu Kui had never heard of this place.

Ling Jiuchuan didn't answer, and walked out of the woods by himself.

Shu Kui stood in place, slightly hesitant and uneasy.

"I will never hurt you, follow me." Ling Jiuchuan saw that she didn't move, and turned around.

Shu Kui saw that he had a kind of momentum when he spoke, and the woods were dark and quiet, and he didn't know the southeast and northwest, so he simply followed with a heart.

Ling Jiuchuan didn't say a word, and quickly came out of the woods and came to a market.

The surrounding lights were bright and lively, which made Shu Kui's heart feel a little less uneasy, and seeing that the people in and out of each store were very ordinary, and there was nothing strange about the dress, she became even more determined, and began to scan the crowd, trying to find a security guard or policeman, and ask where she was.

But after watching it for a long time, she didn't even notice a person in uniform, but she was unconsciously attracted by the street scene here.

The street is very wide, nearly 20 meters, on both sides of the restaurant, wine shop, garment shop, fabric shop, snack stalls, row upon row, there are many fruit shops, put out colorful fresh fruits, there are ordinary apples, bananas, oranges, pears, etc., there are strange shapes, never seen.

Shu Kui saw the novelty and unconsciously slowed down.

"Beauty, come on, new wine, free tasting." Suddenly, out of nowhere, a short boy came out of nowhere, standing in front of her, holding a small glass with an amber liquid.

Shu Kui smiled and waved his hand, wanting to go around.

"Taste it, it's delicious." But the boy didn't give up, and put the cup under her nose.

The wine is very fragrant, at first glance it is the richness of osmanthus flowers, and after a while, it turns to the lightness of lotus flowers, Shu Kui has never smelled such a good smell, and he keeps inhaling like a demon.

As the scent came one after another, she felt that her surroundings were gradually quieting down, and the warm spring sun and a gorgeous sea of flowers appeared in her mind, not to mention how pleasant it was.

"Hey, wake up." It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, just when she wanted to close her eyes and take a nap, there was a sudden sharp pain in her right wrist, followed by Ling Jiuchuan's voice, which rang like a bell.

Shu Kui was excited, as if he had been pulled out of the abyss, the noisy voices in his ears rang one after another, the sunshine and the sea of flowers disappeared, and the boy just now disappeared.

"What's wrong? What is it? She looked at the fragments of the cup at her feet and knew something was wrong.

"The main ingredient of soul-attracting wine is the flower of the other side." Ling Jiuchuan looked at the narrow alley between the two shops, "He's still a Sven." ”

"It's called Sven, what about the non-Sven?" Shu Kui thought that there was an anesthetic in the wine.

"If you don't say anything...... Ling Jiuchuan looked at her, "If you waste a little, you only dig out your heart and suck your brain; The housekeeper eats up all the skin, flesh and bones, and weaves a blanket with his hair. ”

He ...... He...... He ......" Shu Kui almost vomited when he heard this, and stammered before he could say a complete sentence, "Didn't he come to rob?" ”

"No, follow me." Ling Jiuchuan told again, turned around and continued to walk forward.

"How dare people here be so blatantly harmful? Don't the police care? Shu Kui hurriedly followed, saying that he didn't dare to desert anything.

"There are no police." Ling Jiuchuan didn't reply, "You are no longer in the world, this is the Three Frontiers, there are the Three Kingdoms of Shengze, Kuixian, and Youlan." Yecheng is the capital of the Kuixian Kingdom, and the forest where you were just now is more than a hundred meters outside the palace, if it weren't for me, you would have been roasted and eaten by the patrolling guards. ”

"What realm? What the...... Country? And the royal palace? Shu Kui listened like falling into a fog, "The guards will eat people?" ”

Ling Jiuchuan stopped in front of a restaurant: "Yes, people are a big supplement, otherwise, why did that kid want your soul just now?" ”

"What are you?" Shu Kui was startled and took a step back.

Ling Jiuchuan smiled and ignored her no more.

There were a lot of people in the hotel, and the greeter had just led a team of people to sit down in place, and when he came back, he saw two people standing at the door, and he greeted him with a smile on his face: "Hello, how many people may I ask?" ”

"Jiangnan smoke and rain." Ling Jiuchuan said four words.

When the greeter heard this, the expression on his face immediately turned respectful, and he took a deep look at it: "Master, please come with me." ”

However, Shu Kui said that he would not take another half step.

"Come in, no one inside is going to eat you." Of course, Ling Jiuchuan knew what she was thinking.

Shu Kui didn't believe it and didn't move.

"Then you just stand here, or, run, and see if that kid will come again." Ling Jiuchuan looked like "whatever you want" and motioned to the greeter to lead the way.

"Wait." Shu Kui was actually very embarrassed, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that whether he went in or not, he would be worried about his life.

"There's really no one inside who is going to eat you." Ling Jiuchuan reiterated and turned to the greeter, "You, tell her, what are the characteristics here." ”

"Yes." The greeter bowed, "Our main dishes in the world, Sichuan, Guangdong, Xianglu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and other places, as long as you can be famous, our chefs can do it." ”

"Human cuisine ......" Shu Kui almost thought he was in a dream, "I'm really not in the world anymore?" ”

"Yes, this is not the world." Ling Jiuchuan emphasized, "Are you here or not?" ”

Shu Kui was very helpless, looked at the bustling shop in front of him, and then looked at the crowd of people in the market behind him, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

The greeter seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly half-bowed his waist and led the two to a quiet and spacious box in the depths of the hotel, and then, with a deep bow, walked out backwards.

The box was bright, and the entire ceiling glowed softly white.

When he arrived here, Shu Kui finally saw Ling Jiuchuan's appearance clearly - his eyebrows were straight up, slender eyes, single eyelids, a high nose, thin lips, an angular face, and a short dark gray hair with slight curls, which looked unusually soft.

The dining table was not big, it was a square table that could accommodate four people, Ling Jiuchuan asked Shu Kui to pick a seat casually, and he sat down directly opposite her, his eyes always staying on her face.

"What are you doing? I've been watching it this way since I just started, what is there to see? Shu Kui was stared at very uncomfortably.

"Well, it's nothing to look at." Ling Jiuchuan picked up the conversation and took advantage of the situation to open his eyes.

At this moment, a short, bald man walked in, dressed in a greasy chef's suit, holding a teapot and teacup, and two hot towels.

"Yo, sir, this is ...... New friends? When he saw Shu Kui, he was slightly stunned.

"It's not." Ling Jiuchuan replied crisply.

The bald man put down the teapot and teacup, and poured tea for the two of them: "Master, I'm sorry, you came temporarily, and you didn't say hello to say what you want to drink. ”

Ling Jiuchuan only said "um" and didn't say anything.

"What would you like to eat today?" The bald head was talking as he spoke, and his eyes kept looking at Shu Kui.

Ling Jiuchuan thought about it for a while, and ordered a few dishes, all of which were Shu Kui's favorites.

"You like to eat these too?" Shu Kui couldn't help but ask.

Ling Jiuchuan was noncommittal, and raised his chin towards the teacup: "Taste this tea." ”

Shu Kui saw that he wouldn't get an answer again, and he had no choice but to follow him.

"It's delicious." The tea is very fragrant and has a long sweet aftertaste.

Ling Jiuchuan also took a sip of tea, silently, with a thoughtful look.
