As for why I went out so late, I didn't explain it, because I really couldn't make up this lie.

Anyway, I told him that we didn't need to kidnap any men, and that we weren't the ones who were short of money.

Hearing my words, Siqin seemed to believe it, after all, wouldn't it be boring to provoke those things without shortage of money and shelter, if a normal person would not do this, she blushed, knelt on the ground and apologized to me, I waved my hand at her: "It's okay, just don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, what kind of people are me and the young master, don't you know?" ”

"Miss, young master, it's excellent to treat the slaves and maids, the monthly monthly silver is more than in other mansions, it's Siqin's fault, Siqin doesn't dare anymore."

I waved my hand and forced her to leave the room calmly, but I began to think in my heart, it is not a way to always do this, just wait for me to go out with Uncle Xu tonight to see what trouble he has encountered.

In the afternoon, Uncle Xu came back again, still as tired as yesterday, and he didn't see him eat anything these days, although he was a ghost who could live without eating, but all these years, he came back to eat, and now that it has changed, it will be even more unusual.

This time, I didn't dare to be careless, I kept an eye on Uncle Xu all the time, and only waited until he went out in the middle of the night to find out what was going on.

Tonight is the third watch in the middle of the night, Uncle Xu got up on time, I followed behind him, he didn't even notice, and he didn't fly over directly today, but walked over slowly.

I followed him silently, and he didn't even notice that I was a little cautious at first, but later I became a little bolder, and the speed behind him also increased, and the distance between us gradually shortened.

Even so, he didn't notice it, until I accidentally stepped on a small branch on the ground, but I found that he still didn't turn around, and kept walking forward.

At this time, I found out that it was not that I was highly skilled with people, but because Uncle Xu couldn't hear it at all, that is, when I followed him, not only did he not find it, but even when he stepped on the branch, he didn't move, and he didn't even turn his head, this is not the reaction of ordinary people, ordinary people hear movement behind them, they must have to turn back, and Uncle Xu ......

There must be something strange here, since Uncle Xu couldn't find me, I walked directly to him, but found that he was walking towards the front with a blank face with a pair of glasses open.

This scared me, and it didn't hurt for this man to open his eyes, but he didn't even blink his eyes when he was just open, and he stared ahead.

I followed him, and he didn't even react at all, and then I noticed that his steps and arms were very mechanically stretched forward, walking step by step.

If he were sleepwalking, his eyes would be closed, but his eyes would be open, looking blankly ahead, as if something was guiding him.

I gently poked his shoulder with my hand and whispered, "Uncle, let's go home, what are you doing walking here in the middle of the night?" ”

Uncle Xu didn't move at all, he was still looking ahead, walking constantly, and thinking of the familiar sound of Xi Yi yesterday behind him, I couldn't help but be surprised, is there any connection between the two?

This is not the time to think about this, I have to find a place to hide hurriedly, but after looking around, I found that this place is extremely empty, there is no place on both sides, I don't know where to hide, the voice behind me is getting louder and louder, and I have nowhere to hide.

At this moment, there was a hissing sound behind me, it turned out that they had already arrived behind me, and they must have seen me, just when it was urgent, I looked at Uncle Xu beside me, and followed him forward in the same way.

The snakes behind us soon overtook us, and they didn't seem to notice anything strange about me, but kept crawling ahead of them as if they were leading the way.

I looked ahead with a dull gaze for a while, the difference is that Uncle Xu's eyes are pitch black, but my eyes are a little bright, it seems that Uncle Xu himself doesn't know that he is walking on the street at night, as if sleepwalking.

I was a little scared, but fortunately, with the sword spirit by my side, I also gained some courage, but I found that this road did go to the place of Piaoxiang Courtyard, and then I saw countless people coming from all directions, they were the same as Uncle Xu, one by one with a sluggish expression, and there were several snakes in front of each team, which seemed to lead the way in front of them.

Seeing that these people were all men, I immediately thought of what Siqin said, he said that there have been many middle-aged men in the capital recently, could it be because of Piaoxiangyuan?

Fortunately, in order to prevent Uncle Xu from finding out, I followed out in a man's clothes, and I am afraid that because of this, I was not discovered by these snakes, and followed me all the way here.

Siqin's words floated in my mind: "None of these people have come back......"

I was a little scared, I was afraid that after entering this incense courtyard, I would not be able to come out again; Looking around, there were about twenty or thirty young adults, I wanted to sneak back while there were many people, but when I looked at Uncle Xu beside me, and when I was about to go inside, I couldn't abandon him ruthlessly.

I also pretended to follow, so as to see what the situation was inside, if there was something wrong, I would immediately pull out the sword spirit and kill them on their backs.

Then I watched the snakes gather together and lead us to the Piaoxiang Courtyard, but when they got closer, the door opened automatically, and when they let us in one by one, the door closed automatically.

I followed Uncle Xu and they lined up one by one, they seemed to automatically stand in a row, fortunately, Uncle Xu was the last, and I immediately stood beside him, at this moment I heard a delicate voice giggling and saying: "Hey, why does it seem to be one more?" ”

The voice was obviously a human voice, and a dense layer of small beads of sweat suddenly appeared on my forehead, but fortunately, my head was wrapped in a bandana, and they couldn't see it.

It seems that these snakes seem to have become essences, and they can actually speak human words, and at this moment, the fragrance courtyard suddenly brightly lit up, and I saw the snakes on the ground, suddenly swaying from side to side, and then turned into a beautiful woman, swinging left and right on the ground.

A melon seed said with a face: "It's really difficult to walk, it's just a matter of pretending to be during the day, why do you have to pretend at night?" How nice it would be for us to crawl over like this. ”

Her words made me a little confused, pretending to be in the daytime? I didn't dare to move my head, my eyes squinted, and I looked around, but I found that their appearance was not much different from the girls I saw yesterday......

I didn't dare to imagine what was going on, and a person suddenly said after what he had just said: "Bah~ It's obviously Qifeng, but today I'm counting left and right are all Qifeng, it's really strange, do you want to ask my sister?" ”

The heart I had just put down was immediately pinched again, and I heard another coquettish woman's voice: "What if there is one more and one less?" My sister's mana is not ordinary, and now she may be someone who has come to the side, and you don't know about this daily change. ”

"But my sister is a Qifeng every day, and now there is one more, what is this for?"

The shrill voice laughed: "Sister Xu is dizzy, but it's not good to have one more?" On weekdays, my sister enjoys the wind of a young man, and now this extra one is ours! ”

As soon as the words ended, countless cheers rang out, and they all agreed with this decision.

"But this person has to be kept by my sister, he is not ordinary, he sucks his essence every day, but he can still live, such a special person, my sister must remember him."

"Okay, let's just pick something else, anyway, just have one, after eating their essence, our mana will definitely increase, maybe we can be like my sister in the future."

"That's not good, my sister has been cultivating for thousands of years, and we have only been for a few hundred years, let's take our time."

They were talking and laughing, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in front of them, and the woman who was screaming just now hurriedly said to the others: "Quickly remove the extra one, but I can't let my sister find out." ”

I was startled when I saw them walking towards me, and my nerves immediately tensed, but fortunately they bypassed me.

Just listened to their words, I vaguely knew a little thing, the original these prime-aged men were sucked by this snake essence of essence, has died, as for how to absorb essence, then I naturally don't know, and Uncle Xu is because of the maintenance of his own mana, so that he can survive, no wonder there is not so much essence, presumably, his mana has been absorbed by this snake essence a lot, look at his state these days, day by day, if he is absorbing, I am afraid of life.

Fortunately, I came in time today, but for some reason, Uncle Xu said those words to me yesterday afternoon, could it be that he was really afraid that I would rob him of his spring peach, or he sensed something, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of this snake spirit, so he could only tell us, don't jump into this fire pit?

I naturally don't know what he thinks, but if he doesn't save him when he dies, then it is impossible for me to make a decision, if others ask me for help, I will lend a hand, not to mention Uncle Xu, who has been with me for a hundred years?

The woman's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and I could see clearly that this woman was a spring peach, no wonder she didn't come out of the tent, because her feet were not feet, but a long tail, which looked extremely ugly, and the black tail was thick and long, with brown markings on it, not so much like a snake, but a little like a python.

It's no wonder that she is thousands of years old, no wonder I, Uncle Xu and Xiao Shan Ginseng Jing are all on her knife, it seems that her mana is profound.
