The bushes swayed wildly, and a figure rushed out of it, and then fell to the ground again. He gasped for air, a short, muffled grunt in his throat, and struggled to crawl forward on all fours.

Above his head was a full moon, and the entire snowfield reflected a cold glow that was almost white in the moonlight.

There was a rustling sound in the distance behind him, and he didn't dare to look back, and struggled to crawl through the snow, dragging a dark red trail of blood from under him.

There was an inn not far ahead, and he saw two delicate gauze lamps hanging on both sides of the door plaque, and the big characters of the Santuchuan Inn revealed some strange blood color under the orange light. A large felt curtain hung in front of the door of the inn, and a white hand was slowly opening the curtain from the inside.

Then a young lady came out of it, she was wearing a blue gauze dress and a pleated skirt, and the long hair of the black crow was only pulled up with a white hosta, and her face was extremely pale.

The little lady carried a lantern in her hand, and the soft light pulled her slender shadow to the elder. She stood quietly outside the inn, as if waiting for someone.

He was immediately ecstatic, and without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Help—help—there are youkai—"

The little lady turned her head when she heard his shrill and piercing cries for help, and he struggled forward a few more steps, and finally crawled to the little lady's side.

The lantern seemed to have some magic, the orange light was soft and warm, and as soon as he touched the light, he felt that he had been saved.

He stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, shouting in confusion: "There, that woods, there are monsters!" Long tail, long tongue—youkai—"

Then he saw the little lady looking at him expressionlessly, with a complicated expression, as if she was helpless to see another troublesome madman, and said nothing.

He felt relieved, yes, the monster would definitely not dare to come to a crowded place, he escaped, was saved, and survived.

Then he felt that the tense strength disappeared at once, and he slumped at the little lady's feet and shivered, only to feel the pain and numbness of the position against the ice and snow.

"Oh, youkai? Hee-hee-hee, the monster you are talking about, does it look like this? Suddenly, a soft female voice behind him asked him.

He breathed for a moment, then turned his head stiffly, and he could even hear the clattering of his own neck.

A cyan face was slowly approaching almost against its own face, its eyes had no whites, and the entire eye socket was filled with blue-black, evil blue-black, and there was only a narrow yellow line where the pupil should have been, and it was constantly contracting.

He felt his head buzz and was scared, his body shaking as if he had malaria.

"Ahh

The youkai was even more terrifying than it had seen from afar, its face covered in tawny scales that had spread all the way to its neck, its nose and mouth bulging outward, and the scales at the corners of its mouth and chin were smoother and wider.

It opened its mouth slightly, and a long, large blue tongue slowly stretched out, a strange smile appeared on its face, and a hissing sound came out of its mouth.

Then he suddenly felt a cold sticky tongue slide down his neck and towards his back, and he finally reacted and turned around and prostrate at the feet of the little lady, hugging her thighs and crumbling screams, "Youkai-"

The little lady's body was very warm, and although she was a little shaken by herself, she still stood there calmly and did not move.

He thought that this little lady would save him, but when he raised his head to look at her, he found that this little lady lowered her eyes, and did not look at herself with a cold face, but bowed slightly behind him, and said softly: "You are here, the room is ready for you." ”

Only then did he realize that something was wrong, that they were in a group.

He finally realized that the little lady was wearing such a thin dress, but the body held under his hand was so warm, and it was obviously cold and snowy around her.

He felt cold all over, and he suddenly retreated, and when he turned his head, he saw the monster's tail covered with hard scales slowly wagging slowly, and suddenly his movements shrank again.

He was especially desperate and tried to run away, but his neck tightened, and his body suddenly hung in the air.

His eyes widened and his vision blurred, and he reached out and scratched at the hand that the yokai had grabbed around his neck, kicking his legs in pain and struggling, a shattering hoho sound coming out of his throat.

"Tsing Yi, do you think this can be worth the house money?" The yokai's pleasant voice was mixed with hissing sounds, and it sounded like the most terrible curse in his ears.

He turned his head in pain, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he looked at the little lady and saw her slowly open her mouth.

"Yes—"

It was the last word he heard.

——————————

This year's wind and snow are particularly heavy, and there is ice and snow as far as the eye can see, and the leader Wang Decai has lost his sense of direction, and he can't find the big inn he has patronized in the past for a while.

But the caravan had been on the road for two days in a row, and everyone was cold and tired, Wang Decai was very anxious, and suddenly saw an inn in front of him, and couldn't help but be happy.

"Let's go to that inn and rest for the night, and the one behind us will follow!" Wang Decai, the leader of the team, turned his head and shouted without hesitation, and then stared at the two stumbling figures at the end of the team and frowned.

It was a slender woman and her children, he didn't want to take them with him, and in such a cold season, even a strong man couldn't stand it, let alone a weak woman and a young child.

But the soft-skinned woman who almost pinched out the water insisted on hurrying together.

"The slave's father is seriously ill, if he doesn't hurry up, I'm afraid he won't be able to see each other."

Wang Decai thought of the woman's sad and weeping appearance, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, such a delicate lady should be raised in the yard to protect her, but she was still widowed at the age of a flower......

"Big brother, what do you want?" Wang Defu saw that his eldest brother couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, so he couldn't help but wonder, and when he followed Wang Decai's line of sight, he saw that the delicate and weak woman was pulling her child behind the team.

Wang Defu knows the thoughts of his eldest brother, the eldest brother is also old, and he has not yet married a daughter-in-law, that lady looks very symbolic, and widowed, although he brought a drag oil bottle, but he is much stronger than those rough women in the countryside.

"You lead the team to the inn to book a few rooms, and I'll go see if they can still move." Wang Decai still felt some pity for the mother and daughter, so he immediately clamped his legs and urged the horse to run to the end of the team.

"It would be nice to have a sister-in-law." Wang Defu showed a sincere smile, and did not hesitate, and immediately led the team towards the inn.

To say that this inn is also a bit weird, built alone in the wilderness, and I don't know how many people can patronize it. From a distance, it is not very big, and the appearance is very ordinary, only the plaque hanging on the main entrance, the dragon flying and the phoenix danced a few blood-red characters, faintly revealing the weirdness.

"Santugawa Inn? What a strange name! Wang Defu shivered a little, only to feel that his whole body was about to freeze, although he vaguely felt weird, but it was really cold, and he did not hesitate to open the felt curtain and push the door into the inn.

As soon as he entered the inn, Wang Defu first felt warm all over his body, and then he heard the noisy sound of countless people talking, and then there was a tempting smell of meat, he swallowed the drooling saliva with a grunt, and raised his eyes to sweep towards the lobby.

With just one look, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

It was a woman of the right age, with a wonderful posture, only a white hosta was inserted obliquely on her head, green silk hung down her shoulders, she wore a light cyan gauze dress, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, she lowered her head slightly, and there was no expression on her snow-white face, as if she had discovered Wang Defu's sight, she raised her head, and a pair of cold eyes saw that Wang Defu was cold, and she came back to her senses.

"Yo, guest officer, do you want to shoot or stay in the hotel?" A figure suddenly flashed, and Wang Defu was so frightened that his heart trembled.

Wang Defu settled down, and saw a handsome boy smiling at him, not very old, about 13-14 years old, not enough, wearing black, and looking thinner. But his face was very round, his fleshy cheeks and unfading baby fat, and he even had two dimples, which made him look more and more pleasing.

Wang Defu silently counted the number of caravans in his heart, and then said, "We want 8 bunk rooms, and then bring us some cooking cakes and sauce meat." ”

"Don't you want alcohol?" Xiao Er reminded with a smile, "We have a freshly brewed good burning knife, and it's enjoyable to drink in the snow!" ”

When Wang Defu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, on such a cold day, can't you have some strong wine to warm up, thinking so in his heart, he couldn't help but respond: "Okay, then come two catties of burning knives, we still have horses, I don't know where the stables are?" ”

Because he didn't see the stable when he entered the door just now, the horse was still outside with someone to help lead him.

When Xiao Er heard this, he nodded clearly: "Yes, our stable is behind, and the new guest officer doesn't know about it, so I'll ask someone to help you lead the horse over." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Er turned around and shouted to the lobby: "Sister Tsing Yi, there are many horses outside that have not yet been sent to the stables, please go and lead the way." ”

Wang Defu was a little puzzled, so he saw the little lady who couldn't take his eyes off him walked over.

As soon as Tsing Yi took two steps, he felt that his right hand was grabbed.

"Ouch, this little hand is slippery, Hei Saburo, you don't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how can you bear to let the little lady in Tsing Yi go to the ice and snow to lead the horse!"

Tsing Yi frowned, turned his head and looked coldly at the young man who was doing something to him, although he was reluctant, he did not struggle.

At this time, the man who took advantage of himself was named Xiong Da, don't look at him with a jade face, but his heart is very poisonous, last time a little lady was also touched, and one was unwilling to slap him, but he still smiled, his face remained unchanged and directly broke the neck of the little lady, and at the end he also peeled off her skin to make a beauty lamp, saying that it was a compensation for a clerk.

No, the lamp is still lit on the top of his head, Tsing Yi doesn't show it on his face, but he is so scared in his heart that he is so afraid that his legs are weak, so he can only hold on to his face tightly.

That's it, he is an old guest here, he has always loved to take advantage of young women, Tsing Yi knew that he had no strength to resist, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it. Anyway, it's not the first time I've been touched, so it's like being licked by a dog, and it's a big deal to go back and wash my hands a few more times.

"Why don't you drink a glass of wine with me, and I'll let my servants lead the horses for you." Xiong Da touched Tsing Yi's warm and silky little hand and was reluctant to let go, and when he saw Tsing Yi's cold face and no emotion, he deliberately made things difficult again.

This little lady has been staring at herself for a long time, and she has never had a chance to get started, so it's strange that she has to seize the opportunity to flirt more while Orchid is not there!

Tsing Yi's face turned two points whiter when she heard this, she pursed her lips, and said coldly: "I don't know how to drink." ”

"Wine, just drink two more sips." Xiong Da became excited, his face was red when he was angry, and he grabbed Tsing Yi's hand harder and harder, and he couldn't wait to rub her directly into his □□arms at this time.

This is the best yin girl! Xiong Da's heart was itchy, and he rubbed Tsing Yi over and over again a few times in his heart, and the more he thought about it at this time, the more excited he became, and he couldn't hold back his image, and the corners of his mouth drooled.

The surrounding guests were still chatting and eating by themselves, as if they didn't see Tsing Yi's miserable white face and the hideous Xiong Da.

Tsing Yi really wanted to pour that glass of wine directly on Xiong's face, but he couldn't get his hands on it, at this time the amulet orchid was not there, it was really heaven and earth, seeing Xiong's big eyes red towards him, his heart was constantly struggling between patience and outburst.

"Bang-"

The wine glass was slammed back to the table by a thick hand, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and they all looked towards the location of Tsing Yi and them.

Tsing Yi looked at Wang Defu with a look of surprise.

Wang Defu only felt that this glass of wine was like a charcoal fire burning from his throat to his heart, thinking that such a strong glass of wine, the little lady could not pour it after drinking it, so he stared at Xiong Daodao fiercely with a pair of eyes: "I drank the wine for this little lady, don't embarrass the little lady of this brother, it is right to let go quickly." ”

Xiong Da tilted his head and swept Wang Defu from head to foot, and changed back to the appearance of the jade-faced son, then smiled slightly, and let go of the hand holding Tsing Yi: "Tsing Yi, you see, it's not just me who has a good eye, this brother also takes a fancy to you." It's a pity—"

Wang Defu only felt that the jade-faced boy in front of him was a little weird, just when he lost his temper, he vaguely saw some black shadows on the other party's face, at this time Xiong looked at himself with a big smile, he took a closer look, but saw that his face was as white as jade, not even a mole, and secretly said in his heart, sure enough, there are many scum among the rich and noble, and just now he really looks like a monster with a lustful appearance, which makes people panic.

"What's your name, brother?" Xiong Da pinched the empty wine glass that had just been drunk by Wang Defu and looked at it, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Meeting is fate, we exchange names, and it is easy to call each other when we meet." ”

Tsing Yi saw that Wang Defu was about to answer the other party when he opened his mouth, and he couldn't care about his fear at the moment, so he directly pulled the other party's arm and said urgently: "Don't go to the stable with me quickly, there will be no vacancy later, you horses can only stay outside, and don't blame us if they are taken away by jackals, tigers and leopards or something." ”

Tsing Yi is telling the truth, there is nothing in this area, that is, there are many wild animals, and sometimes there are too many guests, and when there is nowhere to place the livestock, the next day you can only see the skeleton of the livestock.

Wang Defu saw that the rest of the caravan was already looking for him at the door, and he also knew that it was cold and panicked outside, and they couldn't wait, so he rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Then the hard little lady will lead the way!" ”

Tsing Yi nodded slightly, and walked quickly to lead the way. The other guests stared at Wang Defu for a long time, Wang Defu was still his own hero who saved the beauty out of the limelight, at this time was watched by everyone, only felt a little fluttering in the bottom of his heart, and glanced at the slender figure in front of him, and became more and more imaginative: I don't know if this little lady is good, if not, I am also very willing to take her away, and when the time comes, I will keep it in the house and listen to her everything.

Tsing Yi didn't know what Wang Defu was thinking, so he quickly lifted the felt curtain and went out.

Outside, a series of deep footprints meandered from far and near, Tsing Yi gasped, and saw that there were thirty or forty people slowly walking towards here.

She lowered her head slightly and thought about it, turned around and pulled Wang Defu who came out and walked out a few steps, and then carefully looked at no one else to follow, so she whispered to Wang Defu: "Our room is limited, I'm afraid we can't accommodate so many people, you don't want to go forward, I know that there is a big inn not far away, enough for you to stay." ”

"It's okay, we can squeeze in, the business is not so particular, it is enough to have an eaves and a bed, and the weather is cold, and I am afraid that some people will not be able to withstand it if we go down." Wang Defu didn't care, he estimated in his heart that 6 people should be able to live in a room, and saw Tsing Yi twisting his eyebrows, his face was melancholy, and he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, he only felt that this little lady was beautiful and kind, and he felt more and more that the other party was very good.

Tsing Yi wanted to continue to persuade, but at a glance, he saw Hei Saburo poking out his head and smiling at himself, so he immediately shut up and stopped talking, and walked straight to the back of the inn.

Wang Defu touched his head, and beckoned his people to lead the horse and follow behind.

There was a fairly neat stable at the back of the inn, and Tsing Yi pointed to the stable and said, "That's it." ”

Wang Defu pushed open the door and saw that there were two rows of lattices inside, with horses, cows and pigs, all locked in different fences.

When those animals saw someone coming in, they first sniffed, and then they all violently slammed into the barn, startling Wang Defu and the others.

"What's it called, his grandmother's, if you call it again, I'll kill you!" Xu San, who was following behind, suddenly burst into flames, and the splitter whipped the nearest animal with a horsewhip.

The pig who was beaten screamed a few times, and immediately shrank in the corner and stopped moving, but Wang Defu looked at the pig staring at them, how awkward he thought. He was a little embarrassed in his heart, so he hurriedly grabbed Xu San's hand and persuaded: "What is the truth with the livestock, quickly set up the horse, and we can go in and drink and burn the knife to warm up our bodies." ”

When the other animals saw that their companions had been beaten, they knew that they would suffer if they made any more trouble, and they all settled down.

Wang Defu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and the others drove all the horses in, tied the reins, and filled the manger with hay before leaving the stable.

"This stable doesn't look big, but I didn't expect it to fit so many horses." One person said something with a smile, and the others smiled disapprovingly.

Wang Defu saw Tsing Yi standing there with a cold face, and hurriedly rushed up and said attentively: "The hard little lady is waiting for us." ”

"Let's go." Tsing Yi just said lightly and walked away.

She had already determined at this time that these people might not be able to leave.
