Chapter 9: Wild Ghosts

"So...... Childe, were you carried back by it? Baotian lay on the bed, he had just woken up, and his face was still swollen with a hangover, but he still couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

Zhao Zimai was wearing boots, and when he heard him ask, he stopped what he was doing and replied softly, "Hmm." ”

Baotian looked at him from behind and noticed that the muscles in his cheeks moved, so he asked coldly, "Childe, what are you laughing at?" ”

The muscles froze, and Zhao Zimai continued to wear the boots that seemed to never be able to be worn well, and replied without looking back, "Where are you smiling, haven't you kid sobered up until now?" ”

"Cut," Baotian muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's clearly laughing, I've seen it all, Childe, the more you cover it up, the more problematic it is." ”

Zhao Zimai looked back at him, "What am I hiding from?" ”

"Hide that you like it, and you can be happy like this with a memorization, Childe, don't forget, you are the No. 1 noble son in the capital, how can you be like this...... So ......"

He originally wanted to say "bow your head and listen to your ears", but he was afraid that if these two words were spoken, Zhao Zimai would knock out a bag of the same size as him, so he forcibly swallowed them back.

"You figured it out, it was it who carried me." Zhao Zimai retorted, but Baotian continued to chatter as if he hadn't heard it.

"Childe, no, if it's Miss Mu, it's reasonable for you to like it, Miss Mu is beautiful and smart. But...... But now it is wearing the skin of Miss Mu, in fact, it may mean that it is a cow ghost and snake god? Childe, don't be fooled by its appearance. ”

"Baotian," Zhao Zimai's voice was low. He looked out the window? As if they were afraid that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation. After a while, after determining that the partition wall has no ears? He continued? "Baotian, what do you think? Who the hell is it now? ”

"Of course it's ......" stopped in the middle of speaking, and Baotian suddenly remembered San's recent changes? Is it starting to like to eat? They will no longer threaten and suppress them at every turn, and they will not throw Mu Lame under the cliff at every turn. Moreover, last night it dragged three of them back to the inn? Is this going to be put in the past? It is estimated that it will let a few of them freeze to death outside, how can it take the initiative to help?

It has changed imperceptibly, at first, somewhat recklessly, now? But it seems to be becoming more and more like a person.

"Could it be...... Could it be that Miss Mu is back? Baotian's eyes widened and he asked a word? was gagged by Zhao Zimai with the palm of his hand.

"Be quiet, it doesn't seem to be aware yet? The more we don't perceive it, the better the situation is for us? What if one day? Xiao Wu can really come back......"

"But is the person in Gongzi's heart it or Miss Mu?"

This sentence is like a sword? touched Zhao Zimai's heart, piercing the corner he had been unwilling to face, making him have to face his heart.

He felt that Baotian was really annoying sometimes, so he had to peel off these things, take out the core, and put them in front of him.

"Who is it? Is it still Miss Mu? Baotian didn't notice Zhao Zimai's discomfort, and he was still asking relentlessly.

"Where's your waist card?" Zhao Zimai finally succeeded in changing the topic, he stared at Baotian's belt, which was empty, and Baotian's waist card that had not left his body was gone.

***

Hearing that he was going to go to the Wubi Pavilion again, Mu Cripple was naturally overjoyed, he thought that he had no chance with the salt-baked snail in this life, but because Baotian left the waist card in the Wubi Pavilion, several people had to go there again.

"Are you still eating there?" Along the way, Mu Cripple was of course most concerned about this matter.

Sang was noncommittal, Baotian only remembered his waist card, and did not answer, only Zhao Zimai said lightly, "The three of you can eat there, I want to go to a friend's house tonight." ”

"How come you have friends everywhere," Sang sneered, "Every time we visit a friend, we have one more trouble, so when will we get to the capital?" ”

Zhao Zimai couldn't tell him the truth about Lin Songyao, so he only laughed, and casually found an excuse to perfunctory the matter.

The Mobi Pavilion had not yet opened, but when he heard that the guests had lost something, the steward let a few people in, only telling them not to delay too long, because there was an accident last night.

"Something's wrong?" The thing he saw last night suddenly appeared in Zhao Zimai's mind, and his heart tightened coldly, and he asked the person in charge, "What's wrong?" ”

The manager obviously didn't want to tell the truth, so he only answered a few words vaguely, and then urged them to go back quickly. Zhao Zimai glanced at Sang, and when he saw that he was also looking at him, he knew that he was thinking about the same thing as him.

Sang saw a ghost in the mountains and forests last night, which he told him when he was carrying Zhao Zimai towards the inn on his back.

"They were running so fast that I didn't catch up with them, only some indistinct shadows on the peaks."

It said this in a calm tone, so Zhao Zimai was even more puzzled, "What is that, is it common?" ”

"Ghosts, wild ghosts."

When he said these words, a strand of hair from the corner of the mulberry sideburns floated to the tip of his nose, and the very light smell of sweat on it touched his heartstrings like the first warm breeze of spring.

"Wild ghosts?"

The two terrible words were said by him so gently that Sang turned his head to look at him, his face full of doubts, "Calling so affectionately?" Do you know them well? ”

Zhao Zimai blushed, he was glad that it was late at night, and it couldn't see his stupid face flushed, "What...... Is it a wild ghost? ”

Sang turned his head, "The so-called wild ghosts often hide in the mountains and wilderness, so they are called wild; Fear and fear, so it is called a ghost. This ghost is weak and ugly, and everyone who sees it is afraid, and he does not meet food and drink in his poor years, or lives at the bottom of the sea, or near the mountains and forests, and has a long life and a long life. In the past, he was greedy and deceived others, and because of this, he fell into the ghost way. To put it bluntly, it is an ownerless wandering soul that no one sacrifices. ”

"Could it be that the one I just saw is also a wild ghost?" He told all the things that had happened, and even expressed the doubts in his heart, "It obviously wanted to be unfavorable to us, but for some reason, it left again." ”

Sang scoffed, "It wants to be bad for you? Wild ghosts are the most timid, usually only dare to hide in the wilderness, afraid of being seen, do you think it will swallow you in one bite? That's why I wonder when I see them coming out of the mountains and forests in droves today, whether there is something hidden in this city that attracts them, so that these wild spirits have to come out of the mountains and forests at the risk of being discovered. ”
