In the distant palace city, the little eunuch is still confronting the young man in white.

One green and one white figures, one is restless, the other is calm and relaxed, and the contrast is stark.

The dark clouds overhead continued to accumulate, but the sky behind the palace wall had gradually begun to turn white, and it was impossible not to rush around the forest.

She has a very low comprehension of magic, and she can barely change her form in the dark, but she doesn't even have this ability in the daytime. Now that the whole palace is chasing her, if she can't escape in time, she will only be slaughtered after dawn!

But this hateful white cat was determined not to let her go out, and her eyes were wide from beginning to end, and she didn't mean to take a nap.

Huan Lin was so angry that both legs were about to break, and he didn't know how many ugly words he scolded in the middle of the night, but it was still useless.

After the fourth watch drum sounded, footsteps sounded again on the path not far away, and this was about the last time the guards changed shifts before dawn.

Huan Lin was so anxious that he circled around the same place a few times, and a wave of anger burned in his chest, and the sentence in his throat could no longer help but roar: "Come on, help!" There's a youkai—"

"Youkai?"

"There are assassins!"

"Who?!"

Sure enough, the guards immediately went into confusion, and the chaotic footsteps turned around and rushed in this direction.

Huan Lin shook off Xue Yulang, who rushed over to stop her, and ran in the direction where the footsteps came from, shouting very loudly: "Brother guard, help, there are monsters ahead!" One eye is yellow, the other eye is blue, and he has a big mouth of blood, and wants to eat my ......"

Xue Yulang was furious, and instantly turned back into a white cat and jumped up with a meow, and pounced on the back of the neck around the forest.

He staggered forward and cried, "Help! ”

The guard who had just turned the corner saw this scene, instinctively waved his knife to stop the white cat for her, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Where are the Yokai (Assassins)? ”

Trembling around the forest, he turned his head and pointed at the white cat, and he couldn't help but retreat.

The white cat was stopped by a few mortals, and his anger was even stronger, and he meowed and pounced forward. Huanlin screamed in fright, and staggered into the flowers next to him.

Several guards understood, and while chasing the cat, they were so angry that they scolded Huan Lin angrily: "What is the big deal for me, it's a cat?" Are you a rat so afraid of it?! ”

Wai Lin cried loudly, and didn't care whether others scolded or not, just stumbled into the flowers, drilled under the hibiscus flowers, and ran away with a snort.

The guards glanced at each other, Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little annoyed, and said "bad luck" in unison.

I thought there was a tough battle to be fought, and maybe there was a chance to make meritorious contributions, but I didn't expect to meet a fool who was afraid of cats!

"Let's go, let's change shifts!" The guard at the head put away the knife, and by the way, he used the scabbard to flick the fried white cat, and turned away.

The white cat was finally free, and with all four paws clawed at the ground, he burrowed into the flowers.

In front of me, I only saw flowers and trees, where else could I find any little palace maids and little eunuchs!

The sparrow's legs and feet have always been neat, and of course the work has already appeared in its original form and jumped out of the palace through the crack in the door! The white cat spun around in place a few times, and was so angry that its whole body exploded into a fluffy ball.

These stupid humans are going to be wrong!

……

In fact, the white cat guessed not all right. Although it was true that Huanlin had turned into an egg, she did not jump out of the crack in the door by herself, but called a sparrow to come and hold her, and flew out openly in the flock of birds.

Who doesn't have a sibling or something?

In late summer, there is no shortage of sparrows in the fields. Although Huanlin didn't know the way to the concubine's tomb, it was very convenient to be asked by the sisters all the way.

The sparrows seemed to be happy to lead the way for their fellow from the palace, so the procession grew stronger and stronger, and passers-by were amazed by the spectacle.

Unfortunately, this prosperity did not last long. Huan Lin was afraid that he would not be able to return to his human form after dawn, so he didn't go far out of the city and fell to the ground, and he still changed back to the appearance of a little eunuch when he jumped on the spot.

A little eunuch on the official road ran wildly, and a group of sparrows squeaked and flew overhead, which was another spectacle.

Then the thunder intensified, and the rain fell heavily.

The sparrows scattered in an instant.

Huanlin stood blankly in place for a while, and was soon drenched by the rain from top to bottom. In the woods by the side of the road, countless small hairy heads poked out from under the branches and leaves, squeaking and calling to her.

Take shelter from the rain! Take shelter from the rain and go! The little sparrows were all anxious, and the whole forest was about to be overturned.

Huan Lin stretched out his hands to cover the top of his head, and after finding that it was useless, he quickly put it down again, stomped his feet and shook his head, and dropped a sentence "I'll go by myself!" After that, he sped up and ran away the same way.

At this moment, she really has no intention of sheltering from the rain.

Ever since she heard that sentence from the eunuchs last night, she had been feeling uneasy, and now this uneasiness was a little worse than before.

The person of the third prince is really insidious, Shen Yuli is with him, which really makes the finch feel at ease!

The rain became heavier and heavier, and it was so dark that I couldn't see the road clearly. Far from stopping, Huanlin ran faster and faster, fluttering like a big bird flying close to the ground on the road.

Thirty miles out of the city, go down the official road, go up the hill along the path, and climb to the halfway up the mountain.

When I found the temple, the two legs around the forest were too weak to stand, and the whole image had become a complete sparrow, with water constantly dripping down the top of the head, wiping it again and again, but it couldn't be wiped dry.

It was easy to open her eyes, and she immediately beckoned to the sparrow under the eaves to ask, but what she received was news that shocked her.

Something really happened!

Deep forest, cold pool, you know it's not a good place when you hear it!

With such heavy rain, the sparrows refused to go out and lead the way. You can only look in the direction they are pointing and go to the forest to find it yourself.

She had never left Miyagi since she could remember, so she didn't know how to distinguish east, west, north and south in the forest, let alone what the terrain was high and low and the laws of aquatic grass growth, everything could only rely on luck.

In the mountains and forests, the scene of falling rain is different from the outside. In some places, the rainwater is blocked by trees, and then it pools into a stream and flows down like a waterfall. Running around the forest, I don't know how many times I have been hit by such a small waterfall.

My head is dizzy.

It can be regarded as a hard work, and finally when she was so tired that her vision was completely blurred, she found a deep pool of water.

The pond water was smashed by the rain arrows and thousands of splashes, and the tinkling and clanging noise made people upset.

Ran around the forest along the shore, but found no trace of Shen Yuli. But from a distance, there are a few places in the middle of the pond that seem to be not very smooth, and I only hate the water mist, and I can't see it really.

The little sparrow scratched its ears and cheeks on the shore and hesitated for a while, but finally gritted its teeth and stepped into the water.

The moment she entered the water, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

It's cold, it's cold!

Her feet cramped almost the moment they touched the pool. Fortunately, she reacted very quickly, grabbed the root of the tree on the shore as soon as possible, and gritted her teeth and endured it for a while before slowly relaxing.

It's so cold, it should be the "cold pool" that the sparrow said.

After regaining consciousness in his legs, he tentatively let go of the roots of the tree around the forest, turned around, and took a step.

The pool is not too deep, and most places are actually easy to get to the bottom. Circling the forest in the water cautiously probing, walking a few steps and swimming a few steps, but did not encounter any thrills.

It's just that her body is so cold that she can't hold on to it a few times and wants to turn around and run to the shore, but she can't help it.

Look again, look again! If Shen Yuli is really dead, you can only see ghosts every day! - she said to herself in her heart.

Su Ri's squeamish Huanlin was also out this time, gritting his teeth and suffering a lot of sins before he came to the center of the pool, trembling, looking for the black shadows he had seen on the shore one by one.

There are three places for leaves floating on the water, two places for cattails emerging from the water, one for a piece of dead wood trodden by waterbirds, and ......

There is also a person who is tied to a log and stuck diagonally to the bottom of the water, with only his forehead and nose exposed!

Huan Lin was shocked, hurriedly rushed forward, riveted enough to pull the log out of the bottom of the pool, but in the end of course he failed to do so, but was so tired that his legs showed signs of cramps, so he had to hold the log and gasp for a while.

Then he shed tears in a panic, and finally gradually came back to his senses, and hurriedly untied the rope, and lifted the cold boy on his back, and swam back with a bang.

When he arrived at the shore, he brushed his hair and slapped his face, and carefully confirmed it several times before he had to believe that this was indeed Shen Yuli.

But man is dead!

It's out of gas! My heart is not beating anymore! It's as cold as ice!

Huanlin was so cold by the wind that his teeth rattled, and he shivered three or four times in a row, and then he cried out.

Why did you die? Don't even say hello!

He died so quietly, so wouldn't all the effort she had spent and all the sins she suffered be in vain?

Her legs are going to break, her skin is soaking, and her bones are about to freeze! It took a lot of hard work to get people out, but they were dead!

Huan Lin felt that he had lost a lot.

She thought about it again and again, but she never knew how to solve this matter, so she was so anxious that she cried more and more, and finally simply lay down and pillowed Shen Yuli's chest, crying and scolding: "What do you say you did when you gave birth to such a big man, you can't throw it away, and it's not easy to bury it...... Isn't it very good to fight in normal times, how can you say that you will die if you die...... The rabbit called three times when he was dying, the wild cat dug a pit when he was dying, and even the flies buzzed when he was dying, you are good, you died quietly, Mimi did not move at all, it is really a hero! I think you're a nest inside, and you're a bear on the outside......"

"Who's the bear?" A low, cold voice fluttered softly, like spider silk blown into her ears with the wind.

Jumping up around the forest.

looked down at Shen Yuli again, but saw that there was still no blood on his lips, and his eyes were still tightly closed, clearly still a dead man.

Wai Lin Wow cried again, jumping on the spot: "Ghost, ghost—"

There was another chuckle from under his feet.

Hiding under a tree around the forest, he leaned his back against the trunk and looked at Shen Yuli and cried: "If you die, you won't help me get rid of ghosts, and you have to turn into ghosts to scare me, right?" You're terrible, I already knew you were a heartless ......"

"Ahem...... If I really die, I will not forget to pull you along, and I want you to continue to serve me. The voice said hoarsely.

Huan Lin was stunned for a moment, then slowly widened his eyes, stretched his neck and shrunk his shoulders and tentatively took two steps back, holding his breath to look at Shen Yuli's face.

It seems to be the same as before, but the curvature of the corners of the lips seems to have changed.

So, he just spoke? Not a ghost?

Huan Lin was not sure, and cautiously stretched out his finger and touched the lips of "that dead man", still not feeling any temperature.

"Dead is dead, and pretending to be a ghost to scare me!" She sat down angrily and looked up at the sky: "You are in a hurry, when the rain stops, I will dig a pit and bury you when I have the strength, and I will definitely not let you be violent in the wilderness!" ”

"You have a good conscience." Shen Yuli moved the corners of his lips with difficulty and smiled bitterly.

Jumping up again around the forest: "You, you, you...... Are you really talking? Are you dead or not?! ”

"I'm dying." Shen Yuli gritted his teeth, "If you don't help me go to a clean place to shelter from the rain, I'll be about to choke my breath." When the time comes, you will become a terrible ghost and haunt you every day. ”

"You dare!" Huan Lin crossed his waist and quarreled with him, "If you dare to pester me, I will ask the Taoist priest to come and ......"

After saying this, she remembered that she was a demon, and it was probably not good to see the Taoist priest, so she had to swallow the words again, muttering and sulking.

Shen Yuli didn't say anything again for a long time. Huan Lin felt bored, so he had to silently put down his crossed hand again, and pursed his mouth aggrievedly.

It's really, so bullying!

She stomped her feet and moved her muscles, gritted her teeth and used all her strength to lift Shen Yuli up, staggering and dragging away.

She was short and only got to Shen Yuli's shoulder. So no matter how hard she tried to straighten her back, Shen Yuli's feet still had to be dragged on the ground, not only did she not have strength, but she would be caught by the branches and roots from time to time, dragging her to stumble for a moment.

It's terrible.

Huan Lin gritted his teeth and endured, stopped to catch his breath after walking a few steps, wiped the rain flowing into his eyes, and then took a deep breath and continued to drag on.

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many falls I had, but I was lucky enough to find an abandoned house. The clouds in the sky were still dark and dreary, as if they were going to rain for the rest of their lives.

Huan Lin hummed and dragged Shen Yuli into the corner and threw it, and he also sat down and curled up in a ball: "I don't care about this anymore!" Dead or alive, let's resign ourselves to fate! ”

"It's not okay to leave it to fate," Shen Yuli said weakly, "I'm about to freeze to death." You go get something to eat, preferably with wine. Then think of a fire and roast it. ”

"You're dreaming!" Huan Lin twisted his wet sleeves and stomped his feet: "This hellish place, where can I find wine for you?" I think you're looking forward to me being caught by the three foxes and roasted for wine! ”

Shen Yuli opened his eyes hard and smiled: "Roast you to drink?" You're not really a sparrow, a bite to eat. ”

Huanlin jumped up angrily.

But seeing that Shen Yuli quickly closed his eyes again, he was still out of breath and out of breath, and he looked like he was ready to breathe at any time.

Huan Lin was angry, annoyed and scared, and his heart was so anxious that he couldn't get worse. Seeing that Shen Yuli's appearance had never shown any signs of improvement, she finally stomped her feet fiercely, opened the door and rushed out after turning around in place for dozens of circles.

As soon as I went out, thousands of rain arrows were smashed down on my head and face, and I gradually felt that I could bear it when I got used to it.

It's just that it's still hard to find. There will be no firewood for wine and rice in remote places, and there are few people in and out of places where there are firewood, which is really a dilemma.

Huanlin didn't dare to walk under the corridor openly, so he could only stick to the root of the wall all the way, lean on the flowers and trees, sneakily and cautiously sneak.

Fortunately, the sky was still as dark as dusk, and the heavy rain curtain played a good role in concealing it, and it was not noticed for a while. Huan Lin was anxious, and ran faster and faster, and finally found a neat-looking room before the next muffled thunder rolled over, and quietly slipped in.

Even if she was lucky, she didn't bump into the funeral guards, and found the residence of those guardians first.

It was a very idle errand to keep the spirit for the royal family, but in the past few days, the two princes have been resting here, and the eunuchs who are guarding the spirit have to cheer up and go to the mourning hall every day to burn incense and paper, and can no longer hide in the house to eat meat and drink wine.

So it was cheaper to go around the forest.

She honestly and unceremoniously rummaged around the room, found a large plate of mutton and two bowls of steamed buns from the cold water basin in the corner, and danced happily on the spot.

With great ease, she wrapped these things around her back, and she dug out the fiery knives and flint and some velvet in the drawers, and then dug up the charcoal that the eunuchs had hidden......

It was a great harvest, so smooth that the little sparrow was almost suspicious of a sweet dream.

And that's not the end of the dream. When she was about to go out, she saw a wine jar on the shelf behind the door, took it off and shook it, and found that there was still half a jar of wine in it.

It's wonderful.

Huan Lin had never stolen wine before, and he didn't know why humans would drink such a half-muddy thing that didn't look like any oil splashes.

This time she stole it, and she realized that this thing was really not water, and it smelled quite good.

Shen Yuli wanted to drink it before he died, it must be a good thing!

Since it is a good thing, of course, Shen Yuli cannot be allowed to enjoy it alone. Huan Lin was itchy with curiosity, and he was reluctant to put away the wine jar honestly no matter what.

As we all know, sparrows never follow the rules properly. The little sparrow poked his head around the forest and looked out, and after making sure that no one was coming, he immediately picked up the wine jar with both hands, tilted his head and began to drink.

She drank too quickly, swallowed several sips in a row before realizing that something was wrong, and stopped in a hurry, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize the wine jar on the table.

Then he had to spit out a sip of wine that he hadn't had time to swallow, and he couldn't stop curling his tongue.

"What the hell is this, why is it so spicy! Is this sure to be delicious, not poison? It's over, it's over, it's so hard to drink, it must be poison, it's going to die, it's going to die! She was so anxious that tears fell from her eyes, and she patted her chest and jumped on the spot.

After only a few jumps, I felt a little dizzy, which undoubtedly confirmed that the jar was really poison.

Huan Lin was so frightened that his face was pale, and he stumbled and ran out: "Shen Yuli, you are really going to kill me this time!" I was poisoned to find wine for you, and I won't spare you when I die and become a ghost...... Hey, Shen Yuli help! I'm going to die! ”

The more I ran, the more I felt that my head was heavy and my feet were fluttering, I couldn't walk steadily when I staggered, and I didn't feel cold when the rain hit my body...... Ten thousand despairs in the heart of the forest.

Even more desperately, there was a sudden sound of talking on the other side of the wall, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and it was obvious that someone was coming this way.

Huanlin panicked, instinctively raised his foot and wanted to run, but somehow his foot was deflected, and Gollum suddenly hit the threshold.

The next moment, the world was spinning.
