At night, the rose is drowsy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From outside the window, there was a small sound of shredding, puff puff like someone's clothes gently brushing against the outer wall.

Rose rolled over and opened her eyes. She found her window open, revealing a tiny slit through which she could see the dim sky outside. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, and the popping sound had disappeared for some time.

Maybe I misheard......

Suddenly, the popping sound sounded again, just outside the window. Then, a man slowly emerged from under the window, clinging to the windowsill with both hands. The upper body is cast on the wall by the dim moonlight, and the outline is very clear. The hair is very short, as if it were a man.

Rose suddenly fell asleep, sat up from the bed at once, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?" ”

"Save ...... Save...... I ......" Through the thin window screen, the figure outside the window whispered, the voice was muddy and low, like a cow's barking, "help...... Save...... I ......"

Rose jerked out of bed.

"Save ......," said the man outside the window, stiffly and slowly creeping into the window. But before he could completely turn over the window, his body was crooked, and the whole person fell into the room. Then, like water dripping into a lake, it melted into the dark floor of the house, and there was no sound at all.

There was silence in the room, and there was no sound at all.

Rose clutched her thumping heart and carefully moved gently towards the door.

Suddenly, a cold breath rose around him, and a deep voice sounded beside him again: "Help...... Save...... I ......"

Rose was completely sleepy and walked out of the room quickly.

"Destined to be destined for demons? Did you really respond to Feng Jiu's words? In a moment of thought, Rose felt that someone was getting closer and closer to her. When he finally stepped into the range she could see, Rose held her breath and went numb with shock.

I saw that person, his whole body was black, and he was so **** that he couldn't distinguish the outline of his facial features. He wears a high, pointed hat on his head and a black cloth on his body. Tiptoe to the ground, walking up and down. There was no shadow underneath him.

What the hell......

His throat tightened, his chest tightened to the point of vomiting, and his heart was beating as if it were drumming.

At that moment, I didn't want to run because I turned around and pulled my legs, so I ran two steps and hurriedly stopped my feet. Not far away, a white figure was swaying up and down towards her, less than ten meters away from her.

He is snow-white, wears a white pointed hat on his head, and is wrapped in a white cloth-like garment.

There is a black shadow in the back, and a white shadow in the front, where to flee and where to flee?

Suddenly, her right ankle was cold, and she felt like she was entangled in something. Then a huge force slammed into the air, tearing her whole body into the air, and then slamming to the ground.

The fall made her eyes burst into Venus, and her chest cracked like a stinging pain. Coughing and turning over, he saw a vague chain of fog tied to his right ankle, one end of which was vaguely pinched in the black shadow's hand.

In a panic, she was about to take out the bell, but suddenly her neck was also cold, and almost at the same time, a strong force pulled her neck back. Immediately he was out of breath, his hands grabbed the thing around his neck, and his head instinctively leaned back to the force. He found that a white mist-like chain was wrapped around his neck, and the other end of the chain pinched the mysterious white shadow's hand.

Without waiting for the rose to react, the black shadow and the white shadow dragged the chain back at the same time. The ankles and neck suddenly tightened, and the body took off.

She heard the snapping of bones all over her body, and the shot of the two horses splitting up and splattering blood quickly flashed in her mind. What a tragic death.

She closed her eyes in resignation and thought.

Then there was a sudden sharp thump in her ears, and she fell to the ground solidly.

"At the beginning of the new year, thunder is everywhere. My lord, raise your noble hand. The enchanting tone is very familiar, although there is no smile in it, but it sounds so kind that it makes people want to cry.

Feng Jiu......

Before he could open his eyes, another person's voice sounded: "Three days is the limit, Xiang Er and the others are on the job." There are many offenses today, please come back. ”

As with the cold tone of the past, the rose nose was sour when I heard it.

Sea......

The sensation on her neck and feet suddenly loosened, and the chain that wrapped around Rose's body was gone.

Her eyes opened and she saw Feng Jiu standing beside her and looking down at her. The eyes narrowed slightly, the turquoise eyes flowed, and the corners of the mouth were slightly hooked. It's still dressed during the day, and a dark robe flutters in the wind.

"Boss Rose, how long do you want to lie on the ground?" He said, "Isn't it cool on the ground?" ”

Rose sat up quickly.

I saw Canghai standing not far away, wearing a snow-white robe, and under the inky hair, a pair of cold black eyes looked at Feng Jiu quietly.

"I'll go to the altar and get rosemary." Canghai Road.

Feng Jiu looked at him, "Are you sure you can get rosemary?" ”

Hearing them say something inexplicable, Rose interjected in horror: "What about ghosts? What about the ghost just now? ”

The strange shadows, one black and one white, had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there. On the street, there are Rose and Feng Jiu, and there are three people in Canghai.

Feng Jiu stretched out his hand towards the rose, but his eyes were still looking at the sea: "I'll go." ”

Rose grabbed his slender fingers and got up tremblingly. I was really scared just now, and my feet were soft and weak, and I couldn't use my strength. But she was only halfway up, her five fingers retracted like loaches, and she fell to the ground with no strength, pulling the pain in her chest that had just been hurt again.

"Feng Jiu, you did it on purpose!" Rose said angrily, only to find him walking out of the ancient street with his hands in his hands.

"Hey, where are you going?"

He waved his hand without looking back: "When you buy something, you have to think about me all the time." ”

"Miss you big ghost." Rose scolded and tried to get up. A hand grabbed her shoulder and lifted her up, lifting her whole person off the ground and standing up straight.

Rose turned her head to see that it was Canghai, and smiled busily: "Thank you, Boss Cang." By the way, what was that black and white thing just now? ”

"Nothing."

Hearing this, he wouldn't tell her the truth, so Rose had to change the subject: "Boss Cang, why did you come here in the middle of the night?" ”

"Can't sleep. That gray wolf, do you like him? He suddenly turned his head to look at the roses, and those eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

Under the gaze of this kind of eyes, Rose couldn't think carefully, so she had to answer vaguely: "Don't you hate it......" "Do you want to marry him?" ”

Rose was a little embarrassed by his abrupt question: "Marriage, ha, I don't want to marry yet." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he raised his right hand and put his head around the back of Rose's head, then pressed his lips over and imprinted a kiss on the side of her face. Very light force, strange love.

Rose's neck stiffened instantly, and she asked blankly: "Boss Cang, you, what are you doing kissing me?" ”

He gently pressed his forehead against Rose's temple, and his right hand slowly slid down to her chin: "Rose, I will protect you in this life." ”

didn't understand, Rose was stunned: "What this life?" ”

Canghai didn't answer, and his fingers were withdrawn, along with his forehead on the side of Rose's face.

He looked at Rose faintly, "Go back to sleep." ”

Rose didn't inquire, she was unwilling, and she couldn't ask. I had to smile: "I don't dare to go back to the room by myself, what happened just now is too terrible." ”

"I'll go back with you to make sure you don't have nightmares." Canghai said lightly.

Smelling the smell of the sea, Rose slept soundly this night, and never even dreamed.

The next morning, Rose felt refreshed, she hadn't felt so comfortable for a long time, and she couldn't help but want to go out into the street.

Narrow alleys paved with cyan bricks and stones, and winding rivers between the alleys. Rose stood on the bridge and looked at the trickling water for a while, and suddenly smelled a mellow sweet aroma of rice wine, which tempted people's appetite fingers. I followed the fragrance and looked inside, and after a while, I saw a stall selling rice balls.

This dumpling stall is set in the middle of a secluded and dimly lit alley. Between the blackened two white-plaster walls are three red-lacquered Eight Immortal Tables. The aluminum pot is steamy, and an antique linen cloth is used in front of the rice ball stall with a bamboo pole, which reads "Mengpo Tangyuan".

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman, with a chubby face with two touches of plateau red. His head was wrapped in blue and white cloth, and he wore a long brown dress. With a kind smile on his face, he was busy among the guests at several tables.

Walking to the dumpling stall, the female stall owner scooped the snow-white dumplings into the blue and white porcelain bowl, and greeted familiarly: "The girl is here." Wait a minute, you'll have a place in the near future. ”

The voice is soft and glutinous, with a bit of a southeast accent. The tail note dragged on long, as if disproportionate to her chubby figure.

The rice wine was so fragrant that the hungry rose swallowed and nodded, "Okay." ”

"Boss Rose, what a coincidence."

A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a man in a white robe standing behind him. He smiled slightly at the rose, and he looked polite.

Looking at his appearance, it's a little familiar, who is it?

When I think about it, it's years.

"Yes, we are so fateful, young man." Rose smiled, "Why do you come to eat rice balls too?" ”

Jing Nian looked at the female stall owner: "Meng Po usually sells mung bean soup, but only sells rice balls from the first to the fifteenth day of the new year. ”

The female stall owner smiled while rubbing the rice balls: "The young man has praised too much, and now he has the last position, so I have to wait a minute." ”

Jing Nian shook his head: "Don't wait, someone is willing to give us the position." ”

After speaking, he took Rose's hand, walked to a table of eight immortals, and bowed politely: "Thank you......"

Several men and women at the Eight Immortals table actually stood up together, respectfully stepped aside, and turned away silently.

The female stall owner was not surprised, and walked over and cleaned up the dishes and spoons on the table while rushing to the customers who had left, saying, "You will come back tomorrow." Then he looked at Jing Nian, "Jing Nian Gongzi, what kind of glutinous rice balls do you want to eat?" ”

He didn't care about the rose's surprised eyes, and after years of pulling the rose to a stool and sitting down, he sat down on the stool next to the rose, looked up and said to the female stall owner: "It's the same old look, purple rice and black flower stuffing." ”

Rose was stunned.

And the dumplings stuffed with black flowers?

"What does the girl eat?" The stall owner asked Rose.

Rose came back to her senses and said, "White glutinous rice and black sesame seeds." ”

The female stall owner spread her palms: "Good drop, the rules of this stall, pay the money first." ”

Rose took out her money bag: "Pay together, how much?" ”

"Purple glutinous rice and black flower rice balls are 5,880 yuan. White rice, black sesame seeds, ten cents. ”

The price came out of her mouth briskly, and Rose thought there was something wrong with her ears.

Five thousand eight hundred and eighty wen? What kind of rice balls can sell for 5,880 Wen?!

It wasn't until she saw Jing Nian take out a large bag full of money from her arms, and the female stall owner took the bag of money without changing her face, that Rose believed that she had heard correctly.

It's really 5,880 Wen!!

"Pay for two bowls together, and put more rice wine." Jing Nian said to the female stall owner with a smile.

When the female stall owner turned around, Rose blinked, relieved her breath and said, "It's too expensive, a bowl of rice balls for five thousand wen?" ”

Jing Nian smiled: "It's not expensive." Mengpo's glutinous rice balls are not ordinary glutinous rice balls, not only sold for fifteen days a year, but also not necessarily sold in any city, and only those who are destined to eat them. ”

5,000 wen is not expensive?

Rose was very puzzled, and turned her head to look at who the "destined people" who came here to eat the rice balls were.

When I saw it, the suspicion in my heart became thicker.

The guests are men and women, and there are rich and unrich people from the costumes, and they all take the rice balls seriously. Yes, the taste, not the eating. Because every time they eat a rice ball, they will close their eyes and chew for a long time, and then an intoxicated expression slowly rises on their faces.

Just as he was looking at it in a daze, an old and hoarse voice came: "Sister Meng, is there a green rice hibiscus filling?" ”

"There are drops, Mr. Ma, there are ready-made drops in the pot."

"Have a bowl and pack it."

"Okay, the old rule is to pay the money first, 128,600 Wen."

Intimidated by this even more terrifying price, Rose turned her head to the newly arrived guest. It was a lean old man, with a hunched back like a shrimp, a black robe, a mahogany crutch in one hand, and a black cloth bag in the other. His head was down, and his pointed chin was exposed only to wrinkled lips, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"It's still so expensive...... he muttered, handing the black cloth bag to the stall owner.

The female stall owner took it and carried it: "Mr. Ma, there are still 300 Wen left." ”

The mahogany crutch trembled: "I received these this year, and Sister Meng will give it a discount." ”

The female shopkeeper, who had been smiling kindly, suddenly threw the black cloth bag into his arms: "Trade with cash, this stall is not on credit." ”

was treated rudely, and the old man was not angry. He carried the cloth bag and sighed: "The old man will come back in two days." Trembling turned around and walked out of the alley with his crutches. After only two steps, the figure blurred and disappeared.

"Okay, Mr. Ma walks slowly." The female stall owner still greeted warmly.

A little off.

Rose was like a mirror in her heart, knowing that something was wrong with this dumpling stall. But the body didn't obey the call, because the rice wine boiling in the pot was so fragrant that just smelling it made saliva continue to gush out of the throat, and people scratched their hearts and livers. I want to eat it, I really want to eat this glutinous rice ball.

Why does it cook so slowly? Isn't the fire big enough? I want to eat, I'm hungry......

Just waiting anxiously, Jing Nian asked: "Boss Rose, didn't you eat breakfast?" ”

"Hmm." Rose replied weakly.

Suddenly, Rose's heart was pounding.

I don't know when there was an extra person behind him over the years, very tall and thin. The head was tucked into the collar of a black robe like a turtle, and only one head could be seen. Standing next to the dark white wall, it looks extremely strange.

As if sensing that Rose was looking at him, the man looked up slightly from his collar and glanced at Rose.

Rose fear had just risen, and it was suppressed by the sweet aroma of rice wine. But no matter how paralyzed the brain's sensory system is, the body still works honestly. My head was dizzy, my back was dripping with cold sweat, my shoulders were shaking, and I had the same reactions when I was scared.

Because of the man's eyes.

Or rather, the man didn't have eyes at all, only two large black holes, bottomless black holes.

Aware of Rose's reaction, the man quickly retracted his head into the collar.

Looking back at the person behind him, Jing Nian turned his head, and the corners of his mouth raised: "Boss Rose, do you know what Tianyan is?" ”

Rose wanted to talk, but her throat was too tight to catch it.

Reach out and press Rose's head down, so that her eyes take away from the strange man and look at him.

After many years, he said to himself: "There are two kinds of heavenly eyes, one is natural, and you are born to see demons and monsters; One is acquired, and people who are close to the ghost gate can often see strange things. For example, children, the elderly, and people who are dying. ”

Rose's head was dizzy and confused, but she could barely remember herself.

She struggled for a long time, and finally squeezed out a trace of voice in her throat: "So, I'm dying?" "Otherwise, why do you always see things that don't belong in this world now?

"Yes, Boss Rose. Before the age of eighteen, he was blessed by heaven to enjoy wealth, and after the age of eighteen, he was punished by heaven. Demons and evil gods can be punished, and their lives will not last for more than 30 years. Repeat and repeat until karma will return to heaven, or it will disappear. If you don't let you open your eyes, how can you be punished? When he said this, his eyes were slightly bent and he smiled politely.

Although Rose didn't understand, she still followed his words in a daze and asked, "Demons and evil gods, why do you want to punish them?" Punish me?. ”

"Not why. Just like a human stepping on an ant, the ant is unprotected and just happens to be bored and stepped on. Of course, those who catch ants are an exception, and ants also have some uses. However, if it is the ginseng fruit that is punished by heaven, it means that all the demons and evil gods will be robbed. He raised an eyebrow, "But don't worry, you're not a ginseng fruit." ”

For some reason, Rose's heart twitched, and there was a faint sense of anger, although she didn't know where it came from: "It's so poisonous." ”

She didn't know if she was saying "poison" because of what heavenly punishment or because of some inexplicable ginseng fruit, her head was too dizzy.

The corners of Jing Nian's mouth rose higher: "Don't glare at me, I haven't done anything to be sorry for you." ”

"I don't understand......" Rose shook her head in a daze.

He smiled slightly: "I really don't understand? ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

After being silent for a long time, he sighed helplessly, still smiling on his face: "There are several generations of Miss Rose who have lived past the age of twenty-two and have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. The Yama Palace, Sumeru, and the territory have all provoked, what a majesty. Why is this life not as good as the first life, and she has become an ordinary girl in this life? Presumably, it is because of the robbery of many generations, and the divine power is about to be exhausted. It's better to wake up as soon as possible and get rid of heaven's punishment, otherwise ......"

At this time, the female stall owner came over with two steaming blue and white porcelain bowls: "Wait for it, the glutinous rice balls are good, eat them while they are hot." "Put the glutinous rice balls in front of the roses and the meridians.

As if someone had choked her neck and suddenly let go, Rose suddenly loosened her throat and coughed.

"Oops, the cough is so bad, hurry up and press the rice balls, I added more rice wine to you." The female stall owner stood next to her and greeted warmly.

Jing Nian stopped talking, scooped up a purple rice ball with a spoon, blew it and put it in his mouth, and intoxicated and inhaled: "It's so delicious, Boss Rose, try it." ”

Under their bewitchment, Rose picked up a spoon and scooped up the rice balls in the bowl and sent them to her mouth.

Despite the fierce shouting of his own voice in his head: Don't eat! The arm uncontrollably put the rice balls into his mouth, and when he gently bit the sesame seeds, the aroma was overflowing, and the glutinous rice melted completely after a few chews. His eyes lit up, his dizziness and his brain swelled, all of which were thrown out of the clouds.

"It's delicious!"

The female stall owner smiled: "If it's delicious, eat more." ”

Needless to say. Rose scooped up the spoon and was about to send it to her mouth, but before it could be reached to her mouth, the spoon in her hand was suddenly slapped away by one hand along with the rice balls.

Who is so annoying? Rose was furious, she wanted to eat the rice balls, and all the cells in her body were shouting to eat the rice balls!

She didn't have time to see who was slapping the flying spoon, so she reached out and picked up the bowl in front of her and was about to pour it into her mouth, but the bowl was snatched away before it could reach her mouth.

Rose looked up, Feng Jiu raised the bowl high, and smiled at Jing Nian: "Three days have not yet arrived, and the Divine Venerable wants to break the contract." ”

After years of eating rice balls, he said vaguely: "It has nothing to do with me, it's Sister Meng and her grievances." ”

Rose stood up and kept jumping up to reach the soup bowl in Feng Jiu's hand, but every time he gently pushed it away.

"I don't know what ability this little ordinary can offend Sister Meng?" Feng Jiu asked the female stall owner.

The smile on the female stall owner's face is still the same: "It's a year's hatred, go back and ask Canghai, the good things his woman has done." ”

"It's not this little ordinary person who did it, I'll bring her back today."

The stall owner moved out of the way and motioned for them to go out.

"Thank you." Feng Jiu put the bowl on the table.

Rose was ecstatic and hurriedly rushed over to grab it, but before his hand touched the bowl, he walked out of the alley with his waist between his waists.

"Let go of me, I want to eat rice balls!" Rose kicked her feet frantically and grabbed the back of his hand. But his hands were made of rubber, and he didn't feel any pain at all.

In desperation, Rose begged: "I want rice balls, Feng Jiu, let me eat rice balls......

But the pleading didn't move him, and he saw the alley, and the dumpling stall was getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from sight. Rose was completely desperate, hated in her heart, and evil was born from her guts. The fingers slashed at the back of his hand, and he didn't let go even if his nails were broken.

I don't know if she was too hard or if he was angry, suddenly he put the rose on the ground.

The moment her feet touched the ground, Rose shuddered, and suddenly her head was clear.

What was she doing, why was she crying at Feng Jiu? Didn't she want to eat dumplings on the side of the road just now? It seems that he has been seeing me for many years, and he has talked to me about some demons, gods, ghosts, etc., I can't remember clearly. I can't remember whether I ate the dumplings or not......

It's not good, I can't remember what I want to remember. was annoyed, and Rose suddenly found that Feng Jiu had turned around and left.

"Feng Jiu, wait for me ......" Rose chased after her.

But every time she wanted to catch up, Feng Jiu's distance suddenly narrowed several steps away from her, and she kept a short distance in front of the rose.

Knowing that he had used the demon spell, Rose's stubbornness came up, and she performed light skills, and she wanted to catch up if she didn't let her catch up.

He chased after her, and in a short time he was back at the Rose Dock.

Finally caught up with him. Rose rushed up a few steps and grabbed the corner of his clothes, gasping for breath, as proud as if she had won the prize: "Look where you are going?" ”

But then the smile froze, because Feng Jiu casually waved a palm and slammed into the coming Canghai.

Fortunately, Canghai reacted quickly, and one got up and dodged, looking at Feng Jiu inquiringly.

Without waiting for Rose to ask, Feng Jiu spoke: "Meng Po gave her sesame rice balls, saying that what did your woman do before?" You didn't hurt yourself enough, what disaster did you leave her?! (To be continued.) )
