Wang Decai stumbled behind Lin Xuyan, and Lin Xuyan, who was walking in front, didn't seem to have woken up yet, and walked crookedly without any direction.

There were a few people wandering around, just like Lin Xuyan, their backs were slumped with sleepy eyes, and they walked forward slowly with two weak legs.

It was just a night's work, and everyone was as white and swollen as soaked pork, and their skin was so thin that you could clearly see the cyan veins under the skin, showing a translucent texture in the morning sun.

"Hey-" Wang Decai called Lin Xuyan in a low voice, in his opinion, among all of them, only Lin Xuyan didn't seem to be out of shape, although his face was also the same pale.

Lin Xuyan shook his eyelids like a dream, the scar on his face became much calmer because of the swelling, and when he turned his head blankly, the black shadow hanging over his head also trembled.

"Leader Lin Lin-" Wang Decai clenched his hand with a hunched chest, and his amulet was in his hand, and his hard palms were dull and painful. But he felt joy in his heart, and the pain made him feel that he was still awake.

He looked around uneasily, and only after making sure that the others were only walking with their heads buried in their heads, did he open the amulet's pocket with shaking hands.

He didn't know what was in the amulet, and when Jiao Niang handed him the amulet, she just smiled and told him not to leave.

He had thought that the amulet was probably filled with something to ward off demons and evil spirits, what agarwood, cinnabar, and the most unusual thing was just rune paper, but when he really opened his pocket, he realized that he was wrong.

In the pocket was a grayish bone, broken from the top of his head from the bite he had taken last night.

The sweat on Wang Decai's back grew faster and faster, and after licking his chapped lips, he reached out and twisted the bone.

These are human bones. These days, he has seen a lot of dead bodies and bones, and he still knows what human bones should look like.

"Human bones—human bones—are human bones also warding off evil spirits?" Wang Decai stuffed the bones back into his pocket in a little panic, but when he looked up and saw Lin Xuyan's unfamiliar face, he subconsciously closed his eyes.

Wang Decai never asked Jiao Niang questions, what was in the amulet, what did she ask him to take people to the Santuchuan Inn for, and who was the master she served...... He never asked.

"Be useful......," he fumbled through his pockets, collecting the broken bones scattered underneath, "I'm in charge of leading the way, even if it's one person, one person, as long as one person goes with me." The others look like they're no longer saved, so you have to fight for it. ”

Lin Xuyan looked at Wang Decai who was muttering blankly, this thin man like a monkey didn't know what he was doing, and he couldn't understand a word of his words.

He felt a little bored, but he didn't think it was appropriate to go, so he raised his head and looked silently at the locust grove behind them.

The locust forest never left, and as they advanced, it slowly moved with it.

The sun outside was so sunny, Lin Xuyan felt that his already somewhat confused head made the sun even more confused.

"Reach out—reach out—" Wang Decai lowered his voice and called Lin Xuyan, but Lin Xuyan was in a daze and didn't respond at all. Wang Decai snorted hatefully, and finally had the courage to grab Lin Xuyan's hand.

His movements were quite careful, Lin Xuyan's hands were like a pig bubble filled with water, soft and a little elastic, if he used a little more force, he could even feel the water flowing inside.

Wang Decai knew that this was not just a feeling, if he really pinched it hard, Lin Xuyan would explode with a bang like the person last night, and the viscous liquid with a fishy sweet smell splashed on his face and body, and finally fell into the mud under their feet.

That locust grove, those locust leaves that smell of wine, because they grow there, they draw that slime from the land, that's why they're like that?

Wang Decai didn't dare to think about it anymore, he didn't want to know what was strange about that locust forest. He just needs to come out alive and go back to see Jiao Niang with a living person.

"Take it." He gently put the broken bone in Lin Xuyan's palm, but when Lin Xuyan subconsciously clenched his palm, he changed his mind and stopped Lin Xuyan's hand and said, "Just take it, don't hold it tightly, just hold it-"

Lin Xuyan's misty eyes lit up slightly, but when he saw the locust forest that was following closely, the light in his eyes was quickly extinguished like fireflies in the wind.

The sweat of the king's wealth was dripping, but that was all he could do.

Jiao Niang said that the talisman cannot be separated from his body, although his mission would be a failure if he lost these people, but he still adhered to Jiao Niang's requirements.

The amulet cannot be left from the body.

"I'm sorry." Wang Decai gritted his teeth and grabbed Lin Xuyan's wrist and began to stride forward, and those broken bones fell behind them like dust. He dragged the stumbling Lin Xuyan and ran towards the inn as fast as he could.

From a distance, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the door of the inn, and he took Lin Xuyan to the person as if fleeing for his life.

At the same time, he pleaded in a dumb voice: "Little lady in Tsing Yi, please save this person!" ”

As soon as she saw two people, one fat and one thin, pounced on, Tsing Yi subconsciously took a step back, and when the thin man raised his head for help, she unconsciously squinted her eyes.

These two people, one white and fat like an open bun, and the other dry and sallow like a bone frame covered with a layer of oily bean skin, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like ordinary people. Plus -

Tsing Yi couldn't help but raise his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, the two of them exuded an extremely strong smell of wine, and there was a faint sweet taste.

"You-" Tsing Yi looked at the two people in front of him strangely from head to toe before he hesitated, "You are mortals?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Decai showed a flattering expression on his shy face, and almost said, "Don't you recognize me, little lady in Tsing Yi?" I am the king! My brother and I had come to the inn with a group of caravanserans, but for some reason, I stayed longer. You remember me, right? ”

“…… Remember. Tsing Yi's face turned more and more cold, the scene of Jiao Niang begging for elixir and selling women is vivid, Tsing Yi can't say if he doesn't remember.

"Great, great." Wang Decai smiled with joy, and when he smiled, he showed his yellow teeth, and Tsing Yi looked at it with the urge to turn his head and leave.

"I remember you went with Jiao Niang." After resisting the urge to shake his hands and leave, Tsing Yi said coldly, "Why are you back again?" Didn't Jiao Niang invite you to redeem her daughter? ”

Wang Decai's face froze at first, but soon returned to normal.

He rubbed his hands, and pointed to Lin Xuyan, who was like a fool on the side, very embarrassed: "I was passing by this time, this is my friend, and we bumped into evil in the middle of the road, and he became like this." I'm a vulgar person, I don't know anything, I'm not as knowledgeable as the little lady, and now I beg the little lady to be kind and save him. ”

Tsing Yi stared at Wang Decai with a cold face for a while, only looking at Wang Decai's heart as empty, and then she said slowly: "Who told you that I have high means?" Compared to that girl, I'm so tender. ”

Wang Decai was a little speechless, at that time he was frightened by the monster, and he only shrank in the house day by day and didn't dare to go out, only when he was worried about Jiao Niang, he secretly squatted at the door to watch for a while, and rarely dealt with Tsing Yi. He just said that, but he just flattered Tsing Yi with nice words, and wanted to put a high hat on Tsing Yi, so that Tsing Yi could help them, who knew that Tsing Yi was not only bitter and mean, but also more serious, but he was a little unable to answer.

Tsing Yi glanced at Lin Xuyan on the side, this fool hadn't moved his eyes since he was pulled to her, like a lost puppet.

But compared with the puppet, his white flesh looks very vibrant, compared with the sallow Wang Decai, it is really a world of difference.

"You bumped into evil together, he became a fool, but you are good, either you are too lucky, or you have a good thing to protect yourself." Tsing Yi stretched out her hand and waved her sleeve lightly in front of Lin Xuyan, seeing Lin Xuyan unresponsively following her sleeve and turning her head, she sighed and said, "Don't block the door, our inn still has to do business!" If you have money to stay in, come in first, and if you don't, hurry up. You've been here once, and you know that when it gets dark, you won't be able to leave. ”

Wang Decai naturally knows, and he is beside Jiao Niang to deal with the aftermath, observing the words and emotions that are self-taught, although Tsing Yi did not agree to anything at this time, but he has heard that Tsing Yi has the intention of helping them.

"Yes, yes!" Wang Decai was busy and grabbed Lin Xuyan and entered the door.

I never thought that Tsing Yi stopped them again: "Outside, those few are also with you?" ”

Wang Decai turned his head and looked at Tsing Yi stretching out his hand and pointing at the drunk and groggy big fat men who came to the inn, he was stunned for a while, and then replied affirmatively: "No, they are all passers-by who have fallen for the monster's tricks, and the little lady just needs to lock them out." ”

“…… Oh? Tsing Yi put down his hand suspiciously, those individuals did look strange, "I see." ”

Wang Decai unconsciously clenched the arm in his hand, and it was not until he touched a sloppy bone that he suddenly woke up.

Lin Xuyan on the side slowly turned his head to look around, and he didn't feel Wang Decai's mistake.

Looking at Lin Xuyan like this, Wang Decai couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say anything at the end.

Anyway, as long as Lin Xuyan is still saved, it will be done.

After sending a table of difficult little cub guests, Hei Saburo flicked his sleeves and rubbed to Tsing Yi's side. Seeing Tsing Yi's brows, he stared at the outside without stopping.

"What are you looking at?" Hei Saburo took Tsing Yi's hand sticky and smiled, "So distracted? ”

"There's something strange out there." Tsing Yi stretched out his hand and pointed outside without turning his eyes and whispered, "San Lang, what do you think it is?" When did a locust forest emerge from that clearing? ”。
