Without waiting for Xiaoshu to stop her, she slowed down and walked forward quietly.

The closer you go, the heavier your flesh becomes. Tsing Yi looked out of the rows of beasts into the depths of the tent in fear.

Among the limbs scattered all over the ground, there were two familiar figures squatting. They were all dressed in dark navy blue of the same suit, and a bat-patterned turban was wrapped around their heads, and when the old man was engrossed in sewing the head of a headless corpse, the old woman next to him felt for a thin funnel and waited for the doll to be bloodied.

At a glance, Tsing Yi recognized that the old couple was the old couple who had quietly disappeared in a hurry.

The translucent lifeline made a hissing sound when it stitched up the flesh, and the old man's face turned blue, and there was a heavy black shadow under his eyes.

When the old man finished sewing the doll together, the old woman next to her immediately took over, and after making a hole in the doll's neck, she began to inject the blood of the beast into the doll's body.

The thick plasma was poured into it, and the blood was like the source of life, and with the infusion of blood, the originally lifeless puppet suddenly opened its eyes.

Tsing Yi almost didn't scream, but she subconsciously covered her mouth. After calming down, she retracted her head in moderation, didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly walked away quietly.

"Why do you want to see it when you're scared?" Xiao Yan saw that Tsing Yi's face turned pale, and said that she was frightened, so she had to comfort her again, "Actually, it's nothing, you just think they are making puppets." Ah Lang fell in love with their craftsmanship and deliberately subdued them to make dolls for him. With a puppet, it's much easier to go back and get the medicine. ”

"What medicine?" Tsing Yi asked quietly, "Or is it a cure for evil diseases?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded lightly, then he opened the curtain and said respectfully, "Now let's send you to eat, it's time to feed." ”

Tsing Yi hesitantly glanced back at the beasts that had been drained of blood, and then went back with the twin scholars.

As soon as he entered the tent, Tsing Yi saw the man in white standing in front of the screen with his hands behind his back and watching the screen, while Ah Lang was sleeping under the service of the ark. The tent, which had been turbulent in the dark, was now peaceful.

The faithful servants were trained to carry in three tables, one in front of the couch and the other two opposite each other in the middle of the tent.

A golden-feathered bird is vividly drawn on the gold-painted dining table, and a blue-feathered peacock is painted on the matching round bench, which looks too gorgeous.

Tsing Yi was served by the servants and sat down in front of the dining table in the center, and behind her, Ah Lang, who was lazily half-lying on the soft couch, also got up and sat down in front of the dining table.

Countless servants came in and out like water, bringing them all kinds of cooked food and wine.

Tsing Yi stared silently at the food table in front of her for a long time, until the servants respectfully placed the two cups of soup on top of her and the opposite table respectively, and then she reined in her heart and watched them continue to put other dishes in turn.

The stewed meat cooked over low heat for a long time, the tender meat grilled with heavy ingredients, the tender and transparent sashimi, and the meatballs coated in eggs and flour and fried in oil, all of them are different and delicate, all of which are placed in front of Tsing Yi.

Without the instructions of the man in white, Xiao Yan, who was more calm than his twin brother, respectfully stood by Tsing Yi's side, and handed Tsing Yi a pair of green wood chopsticks.

Tsing Yi had never been served so respectfully, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Xiao Yan saw that her demeanor was a little stiff, and she was hovering back and forth above those food plates with chopsticks, and she couldn't get off the chopsticks for a long time, so he thoughtfully moved the plate of tender meat to Tsing Yi's hand and said: "This stew is the fattest piece of meat skin on the prey that Ah Lang just hunted this morning, and it took three hours to simmer in a row. ”

Tsing Yi glanced at Xiao Yan with a slightly surprised expression, and then took a chopstick stew and tasted it.

The stew melts in your mouth and is softer than the most tender meat you've ever tasted. Tsing Yi slowly swallowed the stewed meat in his mouth, and when he stretched out his chopsticks again, he was much more casual.

The man in white looked at the screen for a long time, and after Tsing Yi ate for a while, he sat down in front of the dining table opposite Tsing Yi with an elegant posture.

Tsing Yi, who was eating, saw that the man in white was staring at her with that kind of gentle and doting gaze, and the meat that was about to be swallowed was suddenly stuck in her throat, and she couldn't go up or down, so she was a little out of breath.

Xiao Yan, who was standing on the side, saw Tsing Yi's painful expression, thinking that he had accidentally choked, so he immediately lifted the lid of the white porcelain cup and sent it to Tsing Yi.

Tsing Yi was uncomfortable, and he didn't want to think about it at the moment, so he leaned his neck and poured it down.

As soon as the blockage dissipated, an extremely fishy smell rushed out of the stomach.

Tsing Yi sighed, hurriedly lowered his head and covered his mouth and retched twice.

Xiao Yan observed the words and handed over a semi-wet white handkerchief, and after seeing that Tsing Yi's expression was slightly relaxed, he was very thoughtful and sent a piece of white melon pulp.

Tsing Yi didn't pick up the white melon, but he turned around in surprise to look at the night in the white porcelain cup.

There are still a few drops of dark red and slightly viscous liquid hanging in the white and immaculate porcelain cup, which looks like blood no matter how you look at the light. If you take a closer look, you can see that although it is mixed with something else, the blood is not hidden.

Shocked to realize that he had just drunk a cup of blood, and he didn't know what kind of blood it was, Tsing Yi's face turned white in an instant.

"What are you giving me to drink?" Tsing Yi squeezed the white porcelain cup in his hand, and looked at the man in white with extremely cold eyes.

The man in white smiled slightly, but he reached out and took the wine glass from the servant and drank a glass of wine leisurely, and then said: "Naturally, it is the blood of monsters, we have been feeding on demons, you have only been away from home for a few years, why have you even forgotten this?" ”

Tsing Yi's eyes opened slightly in disbelief, and the horror turned into a difficult answer: "Since I was sold into the inn, the past is like a veil, and I can't remember it very clearly......"

The expression of the man in white who was smiling and drinking changed in vain, he lowered his eyes and muttered for a moment, then raised his head but said lightly as usual: "Forget about it—it's not in the way." I will take you to the Hui clan tomorrow, and when you meet your father and mother, you will naturally remember. ”

Without waiting for Tsing Yi to react, he turned to the servants beside him and said, "Go and bring the little doll, and then call the old couple over." ”

Tsing Yi never thought that she was also a person with two relatives, since she went to the inn, she saw those goblins and ghosts eating people day and night, occasionally mortals came, and there were many grievances and hatreds.

Now that a brother has suddenly fallen from the sky, and there are even parents who have forgotten about it, such a big change really makes Tsing Yi a little relieved.

"Where are you going?" Tsing Yi asked in a daze, "How do I know if what you said is true?" ”

"Naturally, it's back to 123 Romance County." The man in white opened the lid of the white porcelain cup, and said softly while swaying the blood in the porcelain cup, "Mother is inconvenient to leave, so my father left a few capable clansmen by his side, and then let the rest of the clansmen go back to Xiangshan." They should still be there waiting for us now. ”

"No, it's not." Ah Lang, who was spitting blood, suddenly laughed, "I remember, your father sent that sick seedling to Chongyin Mountain." Along the way, the sick Yangzi has been instructing the servants to collect all kinds of rare treasures, and also inquired about a lot of news about Xiangshan, but I am afraid that it was your father's order to go to Chongyin Mountain to prepare first, and then they followed. ”

The man in white lowered his head and drank the cup of demon blood, the taste of blood seemed to make him more calm and vigilant, and after the cup of demon blood was drunk, he smiled elegantly again: "Even if we want to go, it can't be so fast, we will be on the road day and night tomorrow, and now with help, it is naturally not like in the past to only rely on horses to hurry." ”

I didn't know that the words of the man in white poked Ah Lang's fear, and Ah Lang, who was still smiling, changed his face, but he couldn't hold back his smile.

At the same time, the restless Tsing Yi saw that the servant had brought in a little girl doll about * years old.

The little girl doll has a pair of black and white godless eyes, and her delicate little face is as unpopular as a doll.

How could Tsing Yi forget the identity of this little female doll, that day Scholar Fei made trouble for her for a long time before she recovered.

Once upon a time, the doll, which was quite stiff even when she moved, was now able to walk on her own, although her steps were a little slow, and her eyes and face were not humanly affectionate, but compared to the situation when her limbs were separated, she was very much like a living person.

Tsing Yi had seen the terrible process of dolls being mended by an old couple, and now the old couple is using the same method to make more dolls for the man in white.

I just don't know, what is the use of those dolls he wants? Wouldn't it be much cheaper for ordinary people to find medicine than those soulless puppets?

Just as Tsing Yi was secretly figuring it out, the doll had already been brought to her.

The doll tilted her head and stared at Tsing Yi with her empty eyes for a long time, and only after Tsing Yi was cold from her back did she reach out and grab Tsing Yi's sleeve without saying a word.

Tsing Yi was slightly surprised in her heart, and when she looked at the doll's eyes carefully, she felt that there seemed to be something in her eyes.

The old couple, who were busy making dolls, didn't have time to clean up their appearance, so they rushed over with a body full of blood, slightly hunched back and panting.

"My lord—" The old man bent down deeply, almost touching his leg, and even though he no longer stitched up the corpse at this time, his hand was still twitching slightly unconsciously, looking at the posture of the index finger and thumb close together, as if there were still continuous stitches.

His voice was hoarse from rapid aging, and his attitude was more humble than that of ordinary slaves: "The old man is still one night away from getting rid of the dolls that the adults want—"

"Naturally." The smile of the man in white was so graceful and gentle, but the meaning in his words made people's hearts panic, "However, do you think you can survive the night?" Look at your appearance now, I'm afraid that if you don't stay for half a night, you will have to report to the Santu River. ”

The old man's crooked back shook suddenly, and without waiting for him to answer, the old woman who followed him said loudly: "My lord, tonight is to draw the old woman's lifeline, and I will not miss the adult's deadline, so, doll-"

With that, she raised her head and looked earnestly at the man in white.

The man in white chuckled, he just turned his head and glanced at Ah Lang lightly, and Ah Lang, who was barely smiling, hooked the corners of his mouth, but his smile was a little distorted.

Then he turned to Fang Zhou and said, "Hurry up and take out that pill for me to eat, if you want to cut your wrists and let the blood bleed, let that sick man do it!" ”

Then he reached over to the ark with his old wound and continued, "You see, he just won't cut himself himself, so he made a puppet and let his soul escape, so that we two innocent ghosts will suffer for him!" ”
