In the front yard of the house, the big tree whose branches and leaves had just begun to flourish in the spring sun was still standing upright, but the tree was covered with the marks of swords. The gray bark cracked open, revealing a white trunk. The moonlight that passed through the leaves of the tree made the arc of those cut marks obvious, and it looked a little hideous.

Mo Ye's gaze swept over the trunk of the tree, and then walked straight to the backyard.

The house had collapsed, and she could not walk through the hall as before, so she could only walk on a path that was still high enough to walk on foot on the left hand side of the ruins, and went around to the backyard.

There were no tall buildings left in the old mansion, and only a few steps were taken on the road to the left of the ruins. As soon as Mo Ye walked through this section, he saw the night walker holding a medicine jar standing next to the well in the backyard from a relatively partial angle.

The well next to the kitchen had a small pavilion on top of it to shelter from the rain and dust, but the pavilion was now a pile of scum in the ruins. The well is completely open-air, and it is believed that many broken bricks and tiles have accumulated in the well that was originally full of clean water.

The Night Walker was dressed in black and stood by such a dilapidated well, if it weren't for the fact that he was carrying a large medicine jar in his hand, Mo Ye would really easily see him as the same kind of person as the murderous killer who broke into the house that day.

Seeing the fear in Mo Ye's eyes, the night walker with bright and flexible eyes in the night rarely took the initiative to speak, still with a hoarse and low timbre, but in Mo Ye's ears, the voice carried a familiar feeling, so that his image immediately had a clearer division in her heart.

"Are you scared? Because of my outfit? ”

Mo Ye nodded, did not speak, only paused in his footsteps, and continued to approach slowly.

She didn't expect that just as she was about to approach him, the black-clad night walker suddenly raised his free left hand and buckled it to her front.

"Snort-" There was a sound of fabric tearing. The night walker's black clothes were torn to pieces by his hand and thrown to the ground. There was only a compactly cut off-white cloth inside the black clothes. The garment was originally very thin, but it was wrapped around the long and muscular body of this night walker, giving people a feeling of simplicity and strength.

The drastic change in black and white in the color of his clothes surprised Mo Ye. However, in this way, the image of the night walker suddenly eased a lot for her, and diluted a lot of the mysterious and cold atmosphere before.

Mo Ye walked up to the night walker and stopped, his eyes drooped slightly, and said softly, "Actually, you don't have to. ”

The Night Walkers said calmly: "If you are disturbed by love, it is for my mission. It can also be distressing. After he had said this, he lifted the lid of the large medicine jar beside him and took out a small sealed urn from it. Hand it to Mo Ye.

When he lowered his head slightly and opened the jar to take the urn, Mo Ye's gaze quickly swept over his face and the masked black cloth, and a look appeared on his face that wanted to speak and stopped. When the medicine urn was handed over, she quickly put down that look.

Holding a small porcelain urn, pick open the built-in lid. Mo Ye glanced at the brownish-black liquid of several pieces of medicinal herbs floating in the urn, and his brows moved.

At this time, the night pedestrian said in a gentle voice: "The conditions are like this, I can only wronged you a little." ”

Mo Ye nodded, and after taking a deep breath, he approached the porcelain urn with bated breath. A long bite. Drink half of the decoction in the urn, and more dregs will float up in the urn.

There is no strained decoction, the more you drink it below. The bitter and fishy taste is even more pronounced. Mo Ye pursed his lips and pressed down the medicinal juice that was about to churn out of his throat, and then breathed a sigh of relief, but did not drink it again immediately, but asked the night passerby: "I heard the uncle who brought me in just now that you have been waiting here for a few days. I've been in Dongfeng Tower for the past few days. Why don't you go there and look for me? ”

The Night Walker hesitated for a moment and said, "No one told me this. ”

"I inquired, and the last person who came here that day to put out the fire. It's a strong leader. You are one of his subordinates, didn't you hear him say that after I was rescued by him, where was I placed? Mo Ye was surprised.

"I don't know, no one informed me about this." The eyes of the night walker are not covered by a masked black cloth, and the gaze is calm.

Mo Ye had a suspicion in his heart, and the hand holding the porcelain urn tightened a little tighter, "Then what are you doing here and waiting?" ”

"When the situation is unclear, it will hurt you more to move around than to stay put, and maybe I will miss it with you because of it." The night walker said lightly, "In addition, I only accept the instructions given to the ground, and I will not take the initiative to ask my superiors what they think, and there are people who are good at doing that kind of thing." You don't know that, I can understand that. ”

The night walker's words were not entirely unreasonable, but at this time, Mo Ye could not fully understand the importance of fulfilling his duties, and he faintly felt dull in his heart about this style of acting.

But judging by the attitude of the night walker when he spoke, it seems that he is not so easy to accept persuasion. His actions were like a frame cast by molten iron, walking on a fixed path for a single command, and after thinking about it, she gave up the idea of continuing the debate on the matter.

"So, can you send the medicine to Dongfeng Tower in the future?" Mo Ye's tone softened, and he said, "With your skills, it's easy to go anywhere, at least easier than when I came here." The order you have to carry out is to deliver the medicine to me, and in the Dongfeng Tower, there is no power to stop you from doing so. ”

The Nightwalker pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

A hint of joy appeared in Mo Ye's eyes, and then he picked up the porcelain urn and continued to drink the medicine. The medicine at the bottom of the urn is tightly mixed with the dregs, which not only makes the disgusting taste stronger, but also makes it easy to eat the dregs that resemble grass roots, tree bark, and drupes.

Most medicinal herbs cannot be eaten directly, not only because they are slightly poisonous, but also because people cannot have a stomach like a cow to digest them.

When Mo Ye drank the second sip of medicine, he didn't eat a lot of medicine residue. After she carefully swallowed the decoction, she spit out the scum in a few mouthfuls. However, with her move, the nausea sensation in her throat that was aroused by the medicinal soup did not have time to sink, and she churned. Just as she was about to take a third sip, she suddenly crouched down and covered her mouth.

The night walker's eyes moved, and he squatted down beside Mo Ye without knowing the situation, staring at her face and asking quickly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Fishy, nauseating."

The words seemed to be squeezed out of Mo Ye's teeth, but the night walker could hear them clearly. After hesitating slightly, he folded his palms, tensed his shoulders and rubbed them a few times, and then covered Mo Ye's back with his flat palms.

Mo Ye only felt that a warm current seeped into his body through the place where the man's palm was brushed, and a stagnant qi stored in his chest and abdomen dispersed like a cloud shattered by a sudden wind. Although the bitter taste in his mouth was still there, the feeling of rushing out of his throat was gone.

The uncomfortable feeling disappeared, and Mo Ye had the remaining time in her mind, and suddenly noticed that the night walker's face was very close to her, and the thought she had just now that wanted to stop popping up again.

Seeing Mo Ye's expression relaxed, the night walker was about to withdraw his hand. At that moment, he felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the eyes of the young man in front of him, and it was about to be revealed.

His feelings slowed down a little, just because Mo Ye's thought had never been shown to him before.

Mo Ye suddenly removed the hand covering his mouth, and the night walker's slight sluggishness allowed her to successfully remove the black cloth covering his face. However, he was only sluggish for a moment, so at the same time that Mo Ye tore off the black cloth, he had already retreated.

In a black wall under the moonlight, such a distance was enough for Mo Ye to look at his face carefully.

"You ......"

The night walker, who was standing far away, turned his head slightly, said only one word, and then closed his mouth.

The soles of his feet moved, as if he were about to leave.

Mo Ye stood up and looked at the figure of the night pedestrian who was about to turn around, and a trace of anxiety slipped through her eyes. However, by the time she spoke, her tone had become unhurried.

"I want to say a few words to you, but you give me the impression that you don't want to stay here any longer. You've completed your mission for today, and you can leave, and I offended you just now, so you don't need to say anything more to me. ”

"I could have said that if you didn't listen to me, you wouldn't be able to find me in Kyoto tomorrow, but I didn't want to talk to you like that. You said it's a threat, and you don't like it. What I want to say to you today is also not appropriate in such an atmosphere of threat. That might affect your answer, and that's not what I want. ”

"Of course, at the end of the day, I don't really have anything powerful to threaten you."

After Mo Ye finished the last paragraph, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that it is because he has confided a lot of words in his heart, and it seems that he has reluctantly retracted his idea of what he wants to change about the doomed result.

In fact, when Mo Ye said the second paragraph, the night walkers, who had already gone farther, began to slow down. Such a distance did not affect him to hear Mo Ye's voice clearly at all, and what really made him willing to stop was the meaning of those words.

When Mo Ye finished the third paragraph, the night walker who had already approached the courtyard wall did not stick to the wall, he stopped, and turned around.

His figure rubbed into the thin shadow of the courtyard wall, and although the black cloth was missing from his face, his face still made Mo Ye unable to see clearly.

"What do you want to say?" He spoke quietly, without the slightest emotion in his tone, without warmth or coldness, "Say it." ”

Mo Ye was stunned, she was a little surprised by the sudden change of attitude of the night walker, but she quickly realized that this kind of opportunity would not be waiting for her, so she quickly restrained this superfluous emotion in her heart, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Can you come closer?" ”

"If you speak lower, I can hear ......" He was silent in the middle of his words. After a pause, he followed Mo Ye's words and walked back.

He walked slowly, and at the same time said in a hoarse voice, "You are very difficult. ”
