"You ......"

Wei Ming's eyes didn't look like a joke, I was like a fish in my throat for a while, but my brain was as wonderful as a fried pot,

"You say, you, you're the same as me?"

"Exactly!"

As soon as he waved his robe, Wei Ming raised his head at me and said,

"The contemptible and your Excellency are all desperate to fall into this pickled place!"

"Ho ————"

Hearing Wei Ming's explanation, I suddenly withered as if I was convulsed, it turned out that what he said was the same as me meant coming to Wei Fern from the outside world, and I just mistakenly thought that he was implying that he had a similar encounter with me and Dahan, and even thought of the lines of seeing relatives and reuniting after a long absence.

"Your Excellency?"

My relieved appearance naturally aroused Wei Ming's alarm, and he walked over quietly, but there was obviously a lot of speculation in his eyes.

"Uh, no, no, no, I just didn't expect you and me to be so unlucky."

I hurriedly explained, and Wei Ming stared at me for a long time before slowly speaking,

"That's true."

With that, he returned to his seat and picked up the poured teacup, the lilac liquid shimmering strangely in the candlelight,

"But there is also a difference between the contemptible and the honorable. Your Excellency survived because of the Holy Maiden, and the contempt of the people...... It's a little bit of a text. ”

"Does it matter?"

I was a little puzzled, and I didn't understand why Wei Ming wanted to mention this matter on purpose.

"Hehe, Your Excellency wants to know why you and the jade man are the only three people who broke into Wei Fern today and are they safe and sound?"

I shook my head and fumbled to sit down again, the tea was already cold, but I was in no mood to drink it, and I just waited for Wei Ming to continue.

"Your Excellency, in addition to the fern here, there are also some people with the surname Wei, maybe they once had other names, but as long as they can stay in Wei Fern instead of being poisoned, they will be forced to change their names and surnames, and they will never leave, and the choice between life and death is whether they can be used by Wei Fern."

"So ......"

I frowned and pondered what he meant, and asked guessingly,

"Do Ferns need someone to teach them how to read?"

After speaking, I saw Wei Ming's expression first become tense, and then he laughed softly,

"Hehe, do you think they are the kind of people who read the scriptures? No, no, no, all the contemptible people do is to write down the major events that happen in each day, and the number of building materials and ingredients. And what the contemptible read and learn is useless! They only know how to peel and cramp, burn and kill, and torture, so how can they have the ability to 'learn the Tao'? ”

Wei Ming almost finished the last paragraph with a sneer, the expression on his face was chilling.

"Alright, alright......"

I replied with half emotion and half perfunctory, and at the same time, I calculated to myself, according to Wei Ming, if one day I no longer need me, then those ogres around me will immediately pull me to some dark corner without any scruples! Besides, the unstable factor of the girl also complicated the situation, and it always felt that it was not impossible for her to kick me out for self-preservation.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly shook my sore head and said to Wei Ming,

"So what should I do?"

Finally, Wei Ming changed into that ancient and waveless face again, leaned lightly on the back of the chair and said slightly,

"Your Excellency, since the agreement between you and me has been made today, there is no need to be impatient, and when the time comes, I will invite you to talk in detail. And now, what you need is to return to the Holy Maiden, so as not to make others suspicious, after all, we can also take the Holy Maiden hostage to escape from Wei Fern after taking 10,000 steps back. ”

As I was dizzy as I listened, I was startled and shouted,

"Impossible! You don't know how ———— it is."

"Your Excellency, don't panic, contemptible people have their own way."

Wei Ming raised his hand and said lightly, as if this was just a trivial matter as light as a feather, and I could only hold a mixed heart, chew and eat all the emotions, and let them rot and ferment.

When the long conversation stopped, the whining sound of the wind took over all the space, and Wei Ming and I looked at each other, but neither of us could find a chance to speak again. A few bits of light of the fire shimmered in his dark pupils, as if every corner of the world was encompassed.

The surrounding air was like a pot of water, slowly roasted on top of a simmering fire, and finally, before the first bubble was about to emerge from the bottom of the water, Wei Ming spoke,

"Your Excellency, it's late at night, please go back."

I followed his movements, nodded and prepared to leave, but before leaving, Wei Ming suddenly stopped me, snapped his fingers, and then out of a low doorway a dwarf was only half a leg tall of an adult.

"Xun, send Mr. back."

After Wei Ming finished speaking, the dwarf just blinked, and then pulled my trouser leg and walked outside.

In the deep darkness, only a few torches shimmered dimly, and the night surrounded everything like a piece of dark cotton. I turned my head and saw Wei Ming standing upright at the door, but his eyes didn't seem to be looking at me, but at the endless night sky.

The dwarf only led the way in a daze, and I didn't think to say anything to it when my scalp was tingling from the cold wind. Before I knew it, a familiar house appeared in the depths of my vision, and in the vast darkness I could only vaguely see a doorknob inlaid with copper beads hanging half waist-high, presumably this was the place where I had stayed before. Just as I was about to say at least a few words of thanks, the gnome had already vanished, and I looked up at the night, where the outline of the forest twisted and curled like a monster around the small mountain village.

Without lingering, I stepped forward quickly, bent my index finger and knocked on the heavy door.

"......"

The wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and I quickly made up an explanation, but when a petite body appeared in front of me, I reacted with some surprise, it was not it.

"Shh————h

The girl put a finger to her lips, and her eyes looked up a little threatening.

"It slept."

I understood, and tiptoed towards the house, but just as I stepped forward, the girl stretched out her slender five fingers and pressed them on my chest and whispered,

"By the way, say in advance, now start calling me Yao in front of it."

"Yao? Why————"

"It's none of your business."

I was speechless for a moment, and I was upset by the succession of events, so I hurried into the house with my thoughts, but the girl was stuck in the door, not at all as if she was going to get out of the way.

"What, what do you mean?"

Seeing her act left little patience, my voice was much higher. But the girl stared at me as if she couldn't hear it at all,

"If you want to go in, you have to make sure that you can't react strangely to whatever you hear from you."

At this time, I couldn't help it anymore, and vented my resentment from seeing her again in Jue's hostel until now.

"What the hell did you tell it?! And what happened before? How do you know the note is with me? To be honest, I felt that you were wrong from the beginning, what the hell are you hiding from us?! ”

I yelled at Yao regardless of my image, and the muscles on my face were also clumped, and she just maintained her previous position, staring at me with her eyes straight until the end. I thought I had shocked her, and I even felt a little more guilty, after all, Yao was just a child to everyone I had met. But who would have thought that while I was still distressed about this, she suddenly pulled me by the collar and pulled me half-bent down, and shouted at my face in the same tone,

"Listen to me! It doesn't matter what you've been through before! What has been done! I don't even care! But now, if you're going to live honestly, put away your self-righteous face for me! ”

Yao's voice was high-pitched and sharp, and I was in a huge shock for a moment and didn't react to what she said. Anyone would be a little annoyed to be held accountable by being so close to their faces, not to mention me who is now burdened with a lot of secrets.

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I pushed Yao's hand away and walked into the room by myself, although I didn't look back, I still heard her complaining voice. After the door was closed, Yao turned around and rushed into one of the rooms, and I didn't want to look at her, not only because of my strange self-esteem, but also because the development of her relationship with Yao made me feel weak, in case my words no longer have weight for Yao or just inferior to Yao, it will have a serious impact on Wei Ming's plan, but it is this "plan" that I don't know a single cent of it controls the life and death of a group of us!

"Damn!"

I cursed, feeling that the pressure of the whole world had fallen on my head, and the frown on my forehead had not been relaxed since I saw Wei Ming.

"No, if you don't sleep again, it's really gone."

As I spoke, I struggled to get up from the bench, but as I was about to rest my stiff brain, I looked at the corridor in front of me and was stunned, because the room that had been temporarily vacated had only two bedrooms, one asleep and the other asleep.

I glanced at the wooden chair with barbed eggs on my legs, and shook my head desperately, but on second thought, it seemed that there was no other way, or would I stand here all night? Not to mention fighting wits and courage with this treacherous world, I'm afraid that the cold wind that leaks in alone can freeze me to death!

"Unless—"

I swallowed, a little excited by my bold idea, as my eyes moved between the two slightly closed wooden doors. But after hesitating, I finally raised my feet and walked to the door of Yao, after all, I had just finished arguing with Yao, and I couldn't pull my face to beg her to take me in.

"Hey...... Are you still awake? ”

While pushing open the creaky door, I turned my head sideways and looked in, the room was pitch black on a night without moonlight, and I could only vaguely find the outline of the bed by a small fire in the living room, but I stretched my neck and searched for a long time, and I did not find the figure of the small bed. Just as I was puzzled, a small shadow at the head of the bed suddenly moved.

"Huh?"

I thought it was just an illusion because it was captured by the afterglow, but when I looked at it for a while, I realized that the shadow was Ming, but it was now sitting at the head of the bed with its legs crossed, in a strange position.

"Bab, Bab!"

I snorted twice, but she seemed to be asleep and didn't respond.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I still plan to wake it up first to explain the situation, otherwise I will be slapped to death by the morning when I am still dreaming. I shuddered at the thought of his inexplicable brute strength, and hurriedly covered the door and walked to its side.

However, when I got closer, I realized that it was not simply resting, but more like performing some indescribable ritual, and I saw that a delicate twig was growing from its heart, and it was swaying freely, and the top was emitting an extremely soft green light.

"Uh......"

Now I made a difficulty, and I didn't dare to try to wake her up, after all, who knows what will happen after interrupting her.

"Ahh

Sighing, I had to move to the foot of the bed, pull up a small piece of quilt and curl up in a ball, hoping that I would wake up first tomorrow morning.

The wind never seems to stop, tirelessly crossing the boundless forest sea, bringing the only comfort and peace to the long night. Trillions of branches and leaves also danced and rubbed together, arranging a light song to wait for people to fall asleep by the pillow.

In front of Zeguo, who was thrown into the dream, a murmur that seemed to be illusory floated by, it was the voice of Yu, with a hint of uneasiness in the quiet. But my fingertips moved slightly, and it was too late to wake up, so I could only let it echo in my soul, overlapping into a sigh that I will never forget.

"Hayabusa, come and save me."
