"But, it looks like he's not more than ten years older than you." Jing Xin is very interested in what is going on between these two people.

He smiled and took a sip of tea and said, "How do you know that he is only less than ten years older than me?" ”

"Huh? Isn't it? How old is he? ”

Yan Qing smiled without saying a word, his head buried in a gray fur collar, with narrow eyes, like a cunning fox.

Lotus Town is located in the north of the country, although it is now past the Mid-Autumn Festival, the cold is getting stronger, but it is only the season when you only need to wear thin cotton clothes, and Yan Qing put on a gray squirrel skin jacket early at this time. Jing Xin looked closely, only to find that his face and lips were not bloody.

She asked him directly, only to learn that Yan Qing had been frail since he was a child, and it was because of this that his parents handed him over to the Taoist priest and let him recuperate in this remote town.

Looking at his current appearance, he looks more like a fox than himself.

Jing Xin suddenly thought of the "Demon World Hundred Herbs" he saw in his study, so he asked tentatively, "Yan Qing, did you know about the Demon World before?" ”

He didn't know why Jing Xin asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "I've heard Mr. say it before." He told me some stories about the demon world, but I didn't know anything else. ”

What's the story? Jing Xin was almost attracted to it, and suppressed his curiosity, thinking that this was not the point, and asked, "So, have you ever come into contact with people or objects related to the demon world?" ”

"No, what's wrong?" Yan Qing put down the teacup and noticed something unusual, "What exactly do you want to ask?" ”

Jing Xin said in his heart, it's okay to tell him about this. He said: "I accidentally broke into a room full of books yesterday, maybe it was your study, and I saw a book about the herbs of the demon world in it, thinking that maybe you would know something about the demon world." ”

"Huh?" Yan Qing said in surprise, "But I don't have any books on the Demon Realm, where did you see it?" Take me to see it. With that, he stood up.

Jing Xin didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, so he quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take you to have a look." ”

The two of them walked towards the backyard, everything was the same as when Jing Xin came yesterday, nothing had changed, the same tranquility, only the sound of the breeze gently blowing through the ginkgo forest came from afar.

When he came to the outside of the previous courtyard, Yan Qing frowned and explained to Jing Xin: "This is not my study, it was left by the previous master. On weekdays, I let the two maids clean up, and no one will come. ”

Jingxin nodded, and the two walked inside.

I saw two maids coming out of it, it was Bai Guo and Bai Lan, and they both looked at Jing Xin curiously.

After they saluted the two, Bai Guo looked up and asked, "Why did the young master come here today?" But his eyes were straight to Jingxin.

"Oh, I'll bring my friends here to take a look." He replied casually, and then took Jing Xin's hand and walked inside.

Neither of them felt anything unusual, but Bai Guo almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth. The young master is only seventeen years old now, his appearance is good, and he has never had a woman, but he didn't expect to bring back such a beautiful one this time, and his heart is like overturning the vinegar jar, which is not comfortable at all.

Bai Lan saw that Bai Guo was looking at Yan Qing and Jing Xin's backs, so she pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" What to see? ”

Only then did Bai Guo come back to his senses, walked out unhappily, and asked, "You say, what is the origin of that girl?" Why is the young master so close to her? ”

"I don't know, maybe it's a friend I met outside!" Bai Lan didn't know what to do.

Walking into the study, almost all the items were the same as the last time Jing Xin came, and even the books on the table were exactly the same as last time. It's just that the "Demon World Hundred Herbs" with a firebird pattern painted on the cover is not in its place, but is placed on the bookshelf on the side.

Yan Qing thought that she was wondering about the decorations that would never move here, so she explained: "The former owner of this place is a friend of Master, and Master has asked that the decorations here should not be moved casually. ”

Jing Xin nodded, picked up the book of "Demon World Hundred Herbs" on the shelf, and said, "That's it, it was still on the table when I saw it yesterday!" Didn't you say you couldn't just move around? She smiled and tilted her head to look at him.

Yan Qing is a teenager in the end, no matter how old he usually behaves, he can't hold his face now. I couldn't hold my breath for a while, so I walked outside the door, called Bai Guo and Bai Lan in, pointed to the book in Jing Xin's hand and asked, "Is this book on the bookshelf that has always been placed here?" ”

"Yes, young master." Bai Guo replied.

Bai Lan chimed in: "Yes, I don't know what animal broke in yesterday and touched the book to the ground!" ”

"But when I came yesterday, it was clearly at this table!" Jing Xin questioned.

Bai Lan was puzzled: "Miss, when did you come here?" How did we not know? ”

Jing Xin realized that he had missed his mouth, and said hesitantly: "I...... I ...... yesterday," he hesitated for a moment, and pointed to Yan Qingdao, "Yes, he brought me here secretly." ”

Bai Lan was skeptical.

Yan Qing coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, are you sure this book has been in this position before?" ”

Bai Guo replied: "Back to the young master, I'm sure that this courtyard has always been taken care of by me and Bai Lan, and I don't know how many times I've seen the furnishings here, so it will definitely not be wrong." ”

No one spoke for a while, Yan Qing waved his hand to let the two of them out.

As soon as he went out, Bai Guo felt more and more uncomfortable, and said indignantly: "Why didn't the young master defend that woman like this? Even those of us who have served him for so many years don't believe it! ”

"Sister, don't be angry, the young master is just asking a question, maybe you're thinking too much, don't make too much fuss." Bai Lan comforted.

Inside.

Jing Xin and Yan Qing looked around again, but they didn't find any other books about the demon world.

"Don't you think it's weird?" Jing Xin said.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qing replied: "It's very strange." ”

"Oh?" Jing Xin raised her eyebrows and said, "Then tell me about it?" ”

"The presence of an abnormal book in a room full of normal books is itself an abnormal thing." Yan Qing replied, "It's just a deliberate attempt to make people discover it, but what's even stranger is that there is nothing informative in this book." ”

"Same as I thought." "It's just that we haven't figured out why this book was on the table yesterday." ”

Yan Qing nodded.

Jing Xin put the book back on the shelf, walked outside, and said, "Let's go!" ”。

Yan Qing walked over and took the book, only then walked out, saw Jing Xin's gaze, raised the book in his hand, and explained, "I'll take it and study it." ”
