The sparrows shook their heads at the same time.

Never before had a finch seen a ghost in the courtyard of Chong Xuzhen, nor had a finch ever seen him catch a ghost with his own eyes.

But a few mischievous people peeked through the lattice while he was resting, and saw him drinking with that gourd.

It was such a surprise.

Huan Lin resolutely didn't believe that Chongxu Lao Dao would drink with a gourd filled with ghosts, so there may be only one truth of the matter: that broken gourd is not unusual at all! The old Taoist priest made up the lie of "pretending to be a ghost" for fear that others would steal his wine and drink!

This explanation seems to make perfect sense. Realizing that he might have been tricked, Huan Lin was very annoyed, so he stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves and left.

The sparrows were so sleepy that no one got up to see her off.

So he had to go back by himself, one foot deep and one shallow, not only to avoid the guards who were patrolling the night, but also to be careful of the wild cats and insects and snakes passing by, and to try to overcome his instinct to be afraid of ghosts...... It's miserable.

This distance is really not close, and the night road is not easy to walk, so it took half an hour to return to Tingshuixuan around the forest, and at this time it was almost the end of the shift.

Shen Yuli hadn't slept yet.

When Huan Lin saw him lighting a fire in the yard, he was startled and hurriedly rushed over: "What are you doing?" The emperor has burned an old Taoist priest to death, are you lighting a fire here to burn ghosts? ”

"It's not a burning ghost," Shen Yuli replied very seriously, "bake something to eat." ”

Huan Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and when he looked to the side, he found a wooden box behind him, which contained a dead snake, two hares, and ...... More than a dozen sparrows.

The sparrows squeaked and chirped miserably.

Huan Lin was frightened again, shivering and pointing at the sparrow, and screaming as if he had seen a ghost: "What is this?!" ”

"Sparrows." Shen Yuli looked back at her, like a fool: "You don't know sparrows? ”

This one is so familiar. Angry and annoyed, he threw himself on the box in horror to untie the ropes from the sparrows' legs.

Shen Yuli immediately stopped her: "Today's dinner is wrong, you can't go to bed hungry." These things are baked and eaten, just right. ”

"Very bad!" Huan Lin shook off his hand, and his face turned pale in a hurry: "Roasted sparrows to eat?" What do you think? Why don't you bake it with me? ”

"You're not tasty." Shen Yuli replied very seriously, and then asked, "You haven't eaten sparrows?" You can try it and see if it tastes really good, no worse than chicken. I remember you liked chicken......"

"Shut up, shut up!" Huanlin was so angry that he jumped on the spot, "Can chickens compare with sparrows?" It's not the same thing! Those stupid chickens are raised to eat, where did the sparrows offend you? We don't be fierce, we don't bite...... Although I usually make a little noise, I don't offend you much...... How did it get to the point where it was going to be eaten? ”

Shen Yuli was so easy to start a fire, and when she made such a fuss, her previous good mood suddenly disappeared, and she was so angry that she threw the flint and stood up: "What kind of evil did you commit today?" If you don't eat me, I'm too lazy to care about you! ”

"You are not allowed to eat either!" There is no compromise on this point. Taking advantage of Shen Yuli's anger, she finally untied a knot with difficulty from the rope, rescued a sparrow and threw it into the sky: "Escape!" ”

The sparrow chirped and disappeared to the roof. Huan Lin didn't dare to stop for a while, and hurriedly rescued the second one, muttering and complaining while saving: "Such a thick rope, tied so tightly, the sparrow's legs are about to be broken by you!" How can you be so frustrated, I always thought you were a good person......"

She couldn't stop babbling and complaining, and Shen Yuli's anger inevitably grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, when Huanlin was about to start rescuing the fourth sparrow, he couldn't help but grab her wrist: "Am I a good person, don't you know?" ”

Huan Lin shuddered in fright, jumped up and shook his hands wildly.

Of course, she knew that Shen Yuli was not a good person, but ...... But she didn't expect him to be so bad that he wanted to roast and eat other people's innocent, living little sparrows!

It's too cruel, it's too bloody!

Huan Lin looked down at the few remaining sparrows in the box, and his face turned white with fright.

Since Shen Yuli loves to eat sparrows, she will not be able to escape sooner or later. When he's done eating this, sooner or later he'll hit her with the idea!

The more I think about it, the more scared I get.

The pain in his wrist was terrible, and Huan Lin looked down at Shen Yuli's hand, and couldn't help but start imagining: Not long ago, he might have caught many sparrows like tonight countless times, plucked their feathers, gutted their internal organs, cleaned them inside and out, and put them on the fire with a small wooden stick, roasting them until they were squeaky and oily......

"Shen Yu, you bastard!" She cried around the forest, and took advantage of Shen Yuli's intimidation to quickly pounce on the box, picked up the whole string of sparrows, and ran away.

The sparrows squeaked and chirped in her arms.

Shen Yuli was already angry enough with her, and when she saw this posture, she felt inexplicably funny, and she held her hands and looked at the joke.

Huan Lin ran in the wrong direction in a hurry, and when she turned around and came back, she saw Shen Yuli's smile, and she was suddenly frightened again, and she suspected that the other party was already preparing to roast her.

"Help!" She shouted at the top of her voice, "The fourth prince is going to kill me, help—"

It's hard to shout out.

Shen Yuli refused to bear the name of tyranny, and hurriedly chased after her and dragged her to the back, while reaching out to cover her mouth.

Huanlin lost her balance and fell heavily on the grass by the roadside, and a bunch of sparrows in her hand were thrown far away, chirping and screaming in the grass.

Huan Lin heard that they were crying out in pain, and suddenly felt as if he was in distress, and he used all his strength to scratch and bite Shen Yuli.

Shen Yuli was angered by her, and casually picked up the remaining rope that tied the sparrows before and put them on her wrists: "Since you insist on sharing the joys and sorrows with those sparrows, I can't save your face, why don't you try it with them......"

It's really going to roast her!

The fear just now became a reality in the blink of an eye, and Huanlin squeaked in fright, and the whole person fell into a state of complete madness, struggling as if he had been pressed to the cutting board.

In the end, he successfully escaped from Shen Yuli's hands, and narrowly picked up the string of sparrows in front of Shen Yuli, and began to run wildly.

Shen Yuli didn't chase after her, he stood in place and looked at her coldly: "Have you made enough trouble?!" ”

Huan Lin was stopped by his roar, holding the string of sparrows, both aggrieved and angry: "Who is making trouble...... If you don't eat a meal and you're hungry, why do you want to eat sparrows! ”

Shen Yuli didn't want to pay attention to such a stupid question, but didn't force her to hand over the sparrows again, just turned around and went back to blow the fire and began to roast the two hares.

Seeing this, Huan Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran out for a short distance, and then squatted next to the flower pond, half of his butt sat on the stone, and one leg maintained a posture of being ready to escape at any time, racing against time to let go of the sparrows.

Fortunately, Shen Yuli never got up to chase after him.

Huan Lin watched the sparrows flutter and fly away, and then he felt a little guilty or two, and felt as if he was a little sorry for Shen Yuli.

After all, Shen Yuli didn't know that she was a real sparrow. In his eyes, the sparrow is just an ordinary animal. Since hares can be eaten, sparrows can certainly be eaten as well.

So he must think she's vexatious, right? First, he slipped out alone at night, and when he came back easily, he began to make a fool of himself, not only letting go of the dinner he had worked so hard to catch, but also losing his temper at him for some reason, which was simply a big rebellion.

But she couldn't explain it to him in detail.

What's more, she herself is still angry! It's hard enough for a baby sparrow to live in the world, okay? So many predators are tired enough to be worried, and they have to beware of humans; It's dangerous enough to have so many bad guys, and now even a not-so-bad person like Shen Yuli has come to bully them!

Thinking of this, Huan Lin added a little anger, and he felt that no matter how short he was, there was no way to coexist peacefully with Shen Yuli in a short period of time.

So after a brief hesitation, she threw down the rope in her hand heavily, turned and left.

He didn't even say a word of goodbye to Shen Yuli.

Completely unaware that behind her, Shen Yuli immediately stood up, glaring at her back, not even knowing that the rabbit in his hand was roasted.

I went around the forest to listen to Shui Xuan, but I didn't know where to go for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to go back to the deserted garden to nest.

Although she didn't actually have any friends in the deserted garden, she was familiar with every plant and tree there. For her who has no home, finding a grass nest that can make her feel at ease and squatting, she can pretend to have a home.

It's really bleak when you think about it this way.

Huan Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, looked up at the eaves next to him, and raised his hand to pinch his face.

At this time, she regretted a little in her heart: she knew that it was like this now, and she should not have been close to Shen Yu from the beginning.

Probably because of loneliness! She sighed inwardly.

As a sparrow egg, she has never been able to hatch a sparrow, but she has become a demon for some reason, in fact, she is very lonely in her heart.

The sparrow, who has been lonely for a long time, is inevitably a little confused, so she will get close to humans on a whim......

Huan Lin rubbed his eyebrows in distress and sighed: It's also because she is stupid, and she didn't even find out that she still has irreconcilable contradictions with human beings until today.

No matter how close she can be to a human in appearance, she is still not a real human!

Thinking about it all the way, I quickly felt tired. He let out a long sigh around the forest, and no matter where he was, he sat down with a bang.

Before her ass could be stabilized, she saw a white shadow flashing next to her, and then Xue Yulang's pointed face appeared in front of her eyes.

His forehead almost hit her nose.

The center of gravity of Huan Lin's whole body was still under her buttocks and had not been adjusted, she couldn't get up for a while, and she almost fell to the ground after being frightened, so angry that she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and hurriedly pushed Xue Yulang's shoulder with all her strength, and scolded sharply: "What the hell are you doing again!" ”

"What the hell can I do, hehe!" Xue Yulang smiled with a pair of good-looking eyes, "It's that Shen Yuli, he has already roasted your little sparrows into ghosts, right?" - Hey, is it good to roast sparrows? ”

As soon as Huan Lin heard this, he became angry, and jumped up: "Shen Yuli is roasting sparrows, how do you know?" ”

Xue Yulang smiled silently.

Huan Lin stared at him and thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt: "He was hungry a lot before, and he had never caught a sparrow before!" How could he suddenly have such a thought this time, and who helped him catch sparrows? Xue Yulang, you confess honestly, are you the ghost?! ”

"How so?" Xue Yulang looked innocent, "You know that I have never dealt with those stupid humans, how could I pry him to eat sparrows?" Besides, sparrows are my food, so why should I persuade others to compete with me for food? Also, you probably heard it before, he said that sparrows taste good! If he hadn't eaten it before, how would he know it tasted good? ”

"Don't talk about it!" Huan Lin jumped up angrily, "I don't like to hear a word of your words!" You've always been a big liar, fierce and bad......"

Xue Yulang's eyes narrowed dangerously.

In fact, Xue Yulang's eyes were narrowed almost all day, but at this moment, they seemed to be squinting extremely hard, leaving only two extremely thin gaps, revealing a bit of fierce light.

It's angry.

Huanlin hurriedly retreated, quickly thinking in his mind about "what will happen if you annoy a cat as a sparrow".

Fortunately, Xue Yulang was not angry. He chuckled and pointed to the palace wall next to him.

Huan Lin subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the hanged man hanging himself from a tree branch, staring at her with a pair of terrifying eyes.

"Ahh

The forehead bumped into a soft thing, nothing else, it was Xue Yulang's chest.

So Huanlin desperately realized that he couldn't run away no matter what.

There are demons in front and ghosts in the back, who can be worse than her!

The Hanged Man didn't really hang on a branch. Seeing that it was about to run around the forest, it immediately drifted over slowly without wind, and asked faintly behind her, "Why are you avoiding me?" Didn't you rescue your mother? ”

"I testify!" Xue Yulang immediately raised his hand, "This sparrow doesn't believe in his words!" She didn't save any mothers at all! When the old Taoist priest was burned to death, she watched from the sidelines and did nothing! She's watching your mother be burned to ashes! ”

With his words, Huan Lin clearly saw that the face of the hanged ghost was getting more and more ugly, his tongue was getting longer and longer, and his eye sockets were protruding more and more.

Huan Lin was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly explained: "That gourd is for wine at all, and the big beauty is not locked there at all!" Maybe that old man is a liar, and he doesn't have the ability to capture the big beauty......"

"So where is the mother at the moment?" The hanged man asked grimly.

Huan Lin couldn't answer, so he shook his head in a hurry.

Xue Yulang stared at her with a smile, looking gloating, and even warned the hanged ghost in advance when he noticed that Huanlin was trying to escape, and proposed without hesitation: "You can try to lift her up and throw her to the ground to take a look, this sparrow egg's heart is very bad, maybe the yolk has already stinked......"

"Sparrow eggs?" The hanged man looked at Huan Lin, shook his tongue and thought for a while, and snapped his eyes back: "No, how can Bao'er be a sparrow egg?" ”

Xue Yulang was stunned.

The hanged ghost ignored him, went straight forward and entangled the forest, and asked in a panic, "You really didn't rescue Niangniang?" ”

Huan Lin shook his head frantically, not wanting to taste any emotions such as concern and worry from the other party's expression and tone. She just wanted to run.

But none of the ghosts and demons in front of her intend to let her go, and this attitude is quite resolute.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and began to cry at the hanged ghost: "I want to save it, but the great beauty is not in the hands of the Taoist priest, how can I save it?" ”

The hanged man was stunned, his damaged brain could hardly handle such a complex problem, and he was at a loss for a moment.

Xue Yulang had already sounded the alarm in his heart. His instincts had always been sharp, and he had instinctively sensed something wrong at this point.

Sure enough, the next moment, Huan Lin pointed at him, and cried at the hanged ghost with sincerity: "Senior, it's not that I don't want to save the mother you said, and it's not that I didn't do my best, but ...... I designed them to burn Lao Dao to death, but I found that the gourd on Lao Dao's body was fake, and there was nothing in it at all! I even watched them burn down the old house, and there was nothing in it either! Niangniang is definitely not with the old Taoist! ”

The hanged man will be skeptical.

Huan Lin struck while the iron was hot, and continued to point at Xue Yulang and said: "This cat has always been elusive, and the real gourd must have been stolen by him early in the morning!" ”

The hanged ghost was convinced of her words, and when he heard this, he immediately pounced on Xue Yulang: "You demon! Give me back! ”

It's still scary to be angry. Xue Yulang initially wanted to maintain his shelf as the "Demon King", but later found that the posture was wrong, and immediately meowed, recovered his cat form very sensibly, jumped on the wall and began to run wildly.

The hanged ghost immediately chased after him, and the demons and ghosts suddenly jumped in the deserted garden, and it was very lively.

Huan Lin watched for a while, crept away, and gave himself a "bad" evaluation on the way.

I don't know who she learned from, but she is indeed becoming more and more treacherous now.

But she can't be blamed for that!

The little sparrow quickly changed his mind and began to comfort himself: that demon and ghost are the most trouble-loving, so it is good to let the two of them entangle with each other, just to save innocent people!

This is not "treacherous", this is her great wisdom to maintain the peace of Miyagi!

Huan Lin subtly comforted himself in his heart for a while, and very schemingly avoided the direction where Xue Yulang might go, and continued to wander in the deserted garden alone.

The night is quiet, and there are no scary hanged ghosts, so it's still very pleasant to walk around.

It's just that the big beauty is really completely gone? Huan Lin always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
