Chapter 14: Humans and Ghosts

"Wooh!!"

The wail from the top of the mountain broke the fear in the silence of the moment.

Yu Li, who was still walking towards the two men in white with a gloomy face, turned his head for a moment and grinned at Ritsuko.

The speed of changing her face made Ritsuko stunned.

"Ritsuko-sama, I'm sorry to scare you, I should go back today, I'll come back to you next time."

After stepping on three or two steps, he had already circled behind the two men in white, jumped into the steep slope, and when he looked again, he had disappeared.

The heart is still beating wildly, but there is no joy for the rest of the life.

This...... What the hell is going on......

"Tsk, he was lucky to let him run away." The man was helped up by Qing Chen, the white clothes on his chest were still soaked with blood, and he could only rely on the strength of his hand on Qing Chen's shoulder, and struggled to pick up the sword that had been broken into two sections on the stone steps.

"Can you still go?" Qingchen stretched out his hand to summon Ling'er, and supported the man with her left and right.

"What can a mere cloud ghost do to me? Let's hurry up and join up with the juniors. The smile that was squeezed out, hanging on his bloodless face, looked really far-fetched.

“…… Thank you, Master, for protecting me...... You...... You okay? Ritsuko followed the three, a little worried.

The man was indeed injured by the detachment to protect himself......

"It's okay, but Miss Ritsuko, are you okay? You weren't hurt by that cloud ghost, were you? ”

Ritsuko lowered her eyes and shook her head behind the man, "It's a loss to the master, no." ”

Just a few steps later, the man pushed away Qingchen Ling'er's hand that was holding him, and landed on the ground with a broken sword, but he stepped up step by step with difficulty.

"Senior brother?" Qingchen still wanted to help, but was turned sideways by the man.

"It's okay, I'm not weak enough to walk with the help of my junior brother."

"You're being tough again."

"It's just a few ribs broken, and it's out of the way."

Ribs? Ritsuko was secretly surprised, can you still walk like this with broken ribs?

"If you let the broken bones poke into the internal organs......"

"Okay, Qingchen, I said it's okay, if you have this time to worry about me, why don't you hurry up and see if the juniors who are still on the mountain have killed the cloud ghosts, and if Mrs. Nangong, who lives on the mountain, has been injured, this damn protection order has just been withdrawn, and these cloud ghosts have become so unscrupulous."

"That'...... Ling'er and I went up to take a look first? Qingchen just walked a few steps quickly, and turned his head again, with a worried look on his cold face, "Senior brother, take care." ”

The white-clothed figure disappeared from Ritsuko's sight again.

The snow, which is falling heavier and heavier, is blinding.

The voices on the mountain sounded a little chaotic, as if they were chatting and murmuring, but they were not really heard.

"Won't you hurry up and see your mother?" The man walked slowly ahead of himself, and even without looking back, he could feel Ritsuko following behind him.

"But Master, your ...... hurts"

"Leave me alone, in this critical moment, you don't have to waste your time here for a stranger, this is what I often teach that group of juniors, to distinguish which is more important, and not to sacrifice the majority for the sake of those so-called friendships. Besides, if I fall here now, you are just a weak woman, what can you do to help me? ”

"You were injured by the shock to protect me, and I can't leave you alone."

"Leave? Is that the name of the cloud ghost? ”

"Yes......"

"Did it tell you on its own?"

"Yes......"

"It's really rare, the cloud ghost will actually take the initiative to tell the human name."

"Master, I always feel that Lu Li is different from other cloud ghosts, he really doesn't seem to be able to kill."

"A cloud ghost is a cloud ghost, what difference can it be? Besides, what cloud ghosts have you seen on the snow ridge all year round? As long as it is a cloud ghost, it is the object of our ghost hunters. ”

The blue rubble loomed in the mist, and as he spoke, he was about to reach the top of the mountain.

Most of the voices that Ritsuko heard came from near her house, but on the other side, Wen Jinnian's house was quiet.

"I didn't expect that this is about to reach the top of the mountain, and you are still following me?" The man rested on the stone steps for a moment with his broken sword, and when he looked up, he could already see the silhouette of the top of the mountain.

This is human nature. I can't let my benefactor go unpunished, and I remember that you have taken care of me and my mother a lot in the past, so I can't leave you alone to go up the mountain. ”

"Even if you go up first, it's not like I can't get up......"

"Senior brother! You're up! Come and have a look! A voice at the end of the stone steps interrupted the man's continued words.

It's just that between the clouds and snow, Ritsuko can't tell if someone is really there.

But in her mind, a man in Tsing Yi stood there waving at her, and the warm smile was on Wen Jinnian's face. Drifting away.
