Gong Xiyue sat up, took advantage of the faint light cast by the moonlight, looked around, and found that there was a vague figure next to a big rock not far ahead, most of his body was hidden in the darkness, not very clear.

Gong Xiyue got up and walked towards the black shadow.

When she got closer, Gong Xiyue saw clearly, and it was indeed Qin Shuang.

She yawned, and her tone was still full of sleepiness: "Mosquitoes are really powerful at night, I didn't expect even you to be woken up." ”

When Qin Shuang heard this, she hurriedly turned around and saluted Gong Xiyue, "Miss Gong." ”

Seeing that Qin Shuang's face still had the loneliness and frustration that the future could completely disappear, Gong Xiyue couldn't help asking, "Do you have something to worry about?"

Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment and laughed at herself: "What can I worry about." Along the way, there are Ah Tao and the old ghost to protect me, and even if I have a big disaster, they have them to help me remedy it, and I couldn't be easier. In the end, Qin Shuang's smile became very stiff.

Gong Xiyue suddenly approached Qin Shuang, stretched out her right index finger and tapped it on Qin Shuang's forehead.

A faint warmth came into Qin Shuang's slightly cool forehead, and the touch was a little soft, Qin Shuang was stunned.

Gong Xiyue's soft voice came from his ears: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely chase back the dancing girl." ”

The two of them were very close at this time, and within a finger's length, they could hear each other's faint and long breathing in the darkness of the silence below.

Qin Shuang suddenly realized something, and immediately turned her face away shyly, muttering in a low voice, "Where am I afraid......

Gong Xiyue didn't notice that the atmosphere was wrong at all, she withdrew her hand extremely naturally, and retorted to Qin Shuang: "Didn't you let that headless ghost snatch the dancing girl because you were afraid of ghosts?"

Qin Shuang's whole body stiffened, and it took a long time before he relaxed again, and he smiled bitterly: "That's right. ”

Gong Xiyue: "So you have to be stronger." ”

Qin Shuang looked at Gong Xiyue, his eyes had a hint of cautious but extremely fragile hope: "Can I?"

Qin Shuang said as a matter of course: "Of course you can!"

Under the moonlight, the girl's watery eyes were full of movement, like a drop of clear rain, with a warm spring feeling, melting away, moistening his dry and withered heart.

Just this drop is enough.

In the Xiangfu of Yin'an City, the Jade Disturbance Courtyard at night was silent.

The raccoon slave walked quickly into the study, and reported with a smile to Xiangyu, who was leaning against the window: "Congratulations to the son, you won the first game of the bet, and the ghost deterrent master sent by Sheng Wuyu will not survive." ”

"Hmm. Xiangyu replied with little interest, and there was no surprise in his eyes.

"One of those ghost deterrent masters was a master of hermitage, and they all died under the magic weapon flame fireball developed by the little daughter of the patriarch of the Gong clan, Miss Gong.

Xiangyu was stunned: "This only daughter of the Gong clan is really an outlier. At this point, he smiled lazily, "But it's okay, it saves me a lot of trouble." ”

"That fireball of flames is so powerful that it can even break through the Frost Enchantment. ”

At this time, Xiangyu finally became interested, and he looked at the raccoon slave lightly, with more questions in his eyes.

Tanuki explained: "The Hidden Cultivation Rank Demon Deterrent Master sent by Sheng Wuyu first trapped them with the Frost Enchantment, and then planned to use the illusion in Dean Qiu's summoning talisman to put her to death, if it wasn't for the timely landing of that fireball, I'm afraid it would really ......."

The tanuki looked at Xiangyu with a palpitating expression, just to catch a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes, and his originally lazy look had added a bit of coldness at the moment.

After a while, Xiangyu asked again, "How is the dancing girl?"

The raccoon slave hurriedly replied: "Sheng Zhuohuai's personal guard Su let the headless ghost head snatch the dancing girl from Qin Shuang's hands, just after those ghost deterrent masters were dispatched. ”

Xiangyu said lightly: "So, Qin Shuang saw that the headless ghost was gone?"

The tanuki smiled and said, "Childe naturally has no last resort. ”

Xiangyu said with sarcasm in his tone: "Picking up his son's leaks halfway, and gaining a good reputation among those clans who have fallen into the pre-death curse, this old fox has a good calculation." ”

Hearing the words "old fox", the raccoon slave's eyebrows couldn't help twitching a few times, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, if you talk about the old fox, who dares to compare with your old man in the two worlds......

The tanuki slave seemed to remember something again at this time, and he took out an object from his chest and presented it to Xiangyu with both hands.

It's a piece of yellow wood that Adao sent back from the message.

Xiangyu's gaze fixed on the yellow wood, and swept the two lines of words on it: "Ask the son to tell him, and kidnap the dancer." His expression was slightly stunned, he slowly stretched out his hand, took the piece of yellow wood, and couldn't help but flash in his mind what Ah Tao said when he got up in the morning before leaving, he had come to the Jade Disturbance Courtyard to find him.

Ah Tao asked Xiangyu with a cautious face: "If the slave was accidentally sucked by that dementor last night and died, can the son be regarded as a missed appointment?"

"Childe promised the slave that until the slave was sent to the altar, Childe would always protect the slave. ”

"If I encounter obstacles again in the future, Childe should not break the appointment again. ”

Xiangyu was quite surprised at the time, and Ah Tao was obviously blaming him for knowing that there was a Dementor invasion at night, but he deliberately stood by and did not let people save her in time.

Xiangyu retracted her thoughts, her slender fingers gently brushed the yellow wood in her hand, and seemed to say to herself: "She's not polite at all. ”

Then he looked up and instructed the tanuki, "Let Yueru prepare." ”

A trace of astonishment flashed on the face of the tanuki, but it instantly returned to normal: "Childe wants to go in person?"

Xiangyu listened to the bamboo breeze gradually rising outside the window, and said slowly: "Sheng Zhuohuai is afraid that there will be a trick, and they can't cope with it." ”

The next day, in the Qianlan Courtyard on the west side of the Jade Disturbance Courtyard, it was in full swing early in the morning.

The few fierce ghosts are exhausted, sweating in the small vegetable garden of Xiangqian, squatting or bowing down, busy weeding.

Facing the open space not far from the small vegetable garden, Xiangqian was lying on a bamboo and rattan sleeping chair, leisurely crossing Erlang's legs, his raised feet swaying back and forth, and a small guy on his side was playing a fan for him.

Xiangqian held a long-mouthed cloud blue porcelain pot in his right hand, and was pouring tea into his mouth one by one.

He was like an overseer, after a few sips of tea, he would take a few glances at the ghosts who were working hard from time to time, and then spur a few words into his mouth, and so on, and it was noon.

It was nearly midsummer, and the sun was scorching the earth.

As soon as the ghosts who had finally finished pulling out the weeds had just taken a breath, they were called by Xiangqian to make lunch for themselves, wash and cut vegetables and fruits to make iced food.

Although the ghosts continued to wail, and some of them seemed to be obviously physically exhausted, none of them gave up, and they still resigned themselves to a new task assigned by Xiangqian.

The little guy who played the fan looked at the ghosts who walked away, and asked curiously: "Old patriarch, which ghost do you think will survive until the end?"
