But even so, Shu Mo had to wake her up, and his slender fingers gently pinched her cheek twice, and the slippery feel made him a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the girl woke up.

The cicada-like eyelashes trembled, and the girl opened her eyes, a pair of caramel-colored eyes looked at Shu Mo in a little confusion, and she seemed to have seen this man in her impression, but now she couldn't remember it, and she didn't know who he was.

"What are you doing in the back mountain alone?" When the woman fainted just now, Shu Mo checked her pulse and found that there was nothing abnormal, and the pale face seemed to be innate, not sick.

"I ...... I ......" The woman stammered for a long time and couldn't speak, and then found that she was intimate with him, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

"What are you doing in Houshan alone?" Seeing the woman speechless by her own fright, Shu Mo felt a little guilty.

"Look for herbs." The woman's low voice made the woman less nervous, and she calmed down her feelings and said softly.

"If you need herbs, why don't you just say that you have to venture into the mountains behind you? Didn't know that it was dangerous here? ”

The woman glanced up at Shu Mo and asked a little unhappily, "What are you doing with so many questions?" Who are you? Since you know it's dangerous, you still come here? ”

The woman's eloquent question made Shu Mo stunned, and then he smiled incredulously: "If I say it, I'm afraid it will scare you." ”

Shu Mo's tone made the woman laugh disapprerovingly: "If Childe is fine, I will go back." ”

With that, the woman stepped aside, picked up the small basket on the ground, and walked down the mountain.

Shu Mo hooked the corners of his mouth and followed behind her: "You are not sick, but you risked your life to come out to pick herbs, why?" ”

"I see that Gongzi is dressed in brocade clothes, looks extraordinary, and talks lightly, presumably he was the son of a rich family before the end of the world, but even so, I don't need to obey your words and answer to Gongzi, right?"

Shu Mo was helpless, how could girls nowadays be so sharp-toothed, he only asked, but she chattered back a lot, completely blocking his mouth.

As she walked, the woman suddenly tripped over a stone, she snorted softly, and her body involuntarily leaned forward, but Shu Mo reacted quickly and immediately stopped her waist to avoid the accident caused by her careless walking.

The woman was stunned, her breath was short, she patted her chest, and she found that her waist was being tightly clamped by him, and she couldn't help glaring at him, and pushed him away with a red face.

"I saved you, should you thank you?" Shu Mo found that this girl was not as soft and weak as she appeared, on the contrary, she was sharp and bold.

"Thank you Childe for saving me, but even if I fall, I won't die, so I don't have so much gratitude to Childe."

"And what about just now? When you were faced with a rotting corpse, hesitated and couldn't get your hands down, and finally ran away, if I hadn't saved you, you would have gone down to the Netherworld by this time. Shu Mo sneered.

"Qionglan has remembered Childe's life-saving grace, but Qionglan doesn't like to owe favors, if Childe needs help in the future, Qionglan will also help."

Shu Mo's feelings at this time are only two words: speechless.

This blunt tone, so arrogant and domineering, is too similar to Ye Aoxue's character, Shu Mo curled the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but guess the origin of this girl.

"But who is Childe? I was never afraid to meet a carrion corpse, and I still talked and laughed like this? ”

"You look at people like this, so you might as well guess who I am."

The woman named Qionglan was stunned, looked at him again and said, "Could it be that Gongzi is the messenger of the Demon Venerable?" ”

"If I am the messenger of the Demon Venerable, then what kind of person do you think the Demon Venerable is?"

"He must be a monster-looking person, isn't he a demon?" Qiong Lan pondered.

"Like me?" Shu Mo smiled coldly, and suddenly changed back to his original form.

The original form of Shu Mo is a big bird full of black feathers, because he was born with a spirit stone in his body, so he quickly cultivated into a demon, and at this time, his body slowly changed, and gradually became a big black bird more than a person tall, with a little black feathers on his face, and a pair of black eyes with a sneer.

Qionglan turned her head disapprenously, but saw a huge black bird standing beside her, but even if her whole body was covered with black feathers, it was difficult to hide his handsome appearance, and when she looked at Shu Mo, she saw herself in his dark eyes, and Qionglan didn't know whether to be surprised or blush.

Looking at Qionglan's slightly widened eyes, Shu Mo felt a burst of pleasure, and quickly changed back into human form: "Scared? ”

"You're a Demon Venerable?" She had heard that the Demon Venerable was originally a blackbird.

"What's the difference between yes and no?"

Qionglan thought seriously and shook her head.

"That's it."

Qionglan suddenly became quiet, and the two walked down the trail, silent to each other.

Shu Mo looked at her, she clutched the small basket tightly in her hand, which contained some herbs that she had never seen before, and the jade pendant around her waist swayed slightly with her steps, shaking his eyes in the sun.

"Your jade pendant ......"

"How?" Unexpectedly, Qionglan looked at him very vigilantly, and ripped off the jade pendant and held it in her hand.

"Why are you so scared? I'm not trying to steal your jade pendant. Shu Mo frowned and looked at Qionglan with a vigilant face.

"Hmph, why are you asking so much" Seeing Qionglan's nervous expression, Shu Mo became more and more sure that there was something strange in this.

After a while, Qionglan seemed to feel that her attitude just now was too bad, bit her lower lip, and whispered to Shu Mo: "I'm sorry I'm too excited, the jade pendant is my ancestral thing, but ...... Some time ago, our whole family lost their lives to him, so I have to be careful. Qionglan's expression was a little gloomy.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know very well, but some time ago a few people came to my house to look for this jade pendant, when I went out to pick herbs. My parents, who refused to tell the whereabouts of Yu Pei because they were dead or alive, were brutally killed, and I only found out when I went back and saw the note left by the thugs. Qionglan's tone became heavy, a pair of beautiful eyes drooped, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, with a low sob.

Shu Mo sighed faintly, but he was thinking about the reason.

"Do you know what those people look like?"

"When I came back from the mountain, I saw two panicked men leaving my house, and when I got home, I saw that my parents had died tragically. The way they looked, I will never forget when I die. Someday, I'll kill them. ”

"How can you take revenge on a weak woman?"

"I don't know how yet, and I haven't found them. But I will. Qionglan's gaze was unusually determined.

"Then did anything strange happen to you wearing this jade pendant? If nothing strange happened, they wouldn't want this jade pendant. ”

"Strange things? I don't quite know. Sometimes it suddenly glows and heats up, but then it goes dark. Joan Lan struggled to remember.

"Can you show me?"

"Nope."

"I'm not going to lose it, or you take it and I'll take a look." If Shu Mo wanted to, he could have snatched it, but he just didn't want to do it.

"Why are you so interested in this jade pendant?" Qionglan's suspicion is even heavier, this person can't be an accomplice of those people, right?

"Because, I have the other half."

"The other half?" Qionglan looked at him puzzled.

Shu Mo said, and took out the other half of the piece he put on his body and put it in front of Qionglan.

Qiong Lan was dumbfounded: "Your jade pendant is exactly the same as mine!" ”

"It's not exactly the same, these two jade pendants together are a complete jade pendant."

Qionglan didn't speak, and after a while, she reluctantly put the half of the jade pendant in his hand.

"What I want is for you to help me draw a portrait of those two."

"Why?"

"Maybe, I can help you find them." Shu Mo laid a heavy bait.

Unexpectedly, Qionglan shook her head resolutely: "No, I can find it myself, and I don't want to remember this matter now." Since you are the owner of this jade pendant, the jade pendant will be handed over to you, and you don't have to ask me so much. ”

After saying that, Qionglan quickened her steps and walked in the direction of the downhill, as if she wanted to stay away from the desert.

Shu Mo sighed helplessly and hurriedly followed.

The two of them walked down the mountain, and the messenger who guarded the entrance watched them descend together, his eyes wide in astonishment.

When she walked to the guard, Qionglan gritted her teeth and walked over with her eyes closed, thinking that the guard would stop her and find trouble for herself, but she didn't expect him to say a word and let herself go.

The voice of the messenger came from behind him: "My subordinates have seen the Demon Venerable. ”

Qiong Lan's heart skipped a beat, it turned out that he was really a Demon Venerable, remembering his attitude towards the Demon Venerable just now, and the words that contradicted him Qiong Lan was a little worried, he wouldn't come to find trouble for himself, right?

But after thinking about it, Demon Venerable is not such a difficult person to get along with, it's just that his vigilance is too much, maybe he just asked casually, after all, this jade pendant is his thing, and he has the right to get to the bottom of it. Qiong Lan looked at the half of the jade pendant that the Demon Venerable returned to her, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, should she return it to him?

With that in mind, she returned to the courtyard from the south.

There was a painful cough in the room, and Joan Lan walked into her room and came to the bed.

On the bed lay a small child, his eyes closed, his face as pale as paper, and his breathing weak.

Qionglan lifted the quilt, patted the child's chest gently, and whispered, "Diversify, get up and eat herbs." ”

The boy opened his eyes with great difficulty, and looked at Joanlan.

"I went to the back mountain to pick some herbs for you, and you will get better soon if you eat them raw."

"Sister Qionglan, how can you go to such a dangerous place in the back mountain, I ...... I'm sick and dying, so don't you waste your efforts to save me, these herbs of yours...... Go and give it to those who can heal, they may be useful...... You give me food...... And just a waste of these herbs. ”
