CH.16 Exclamation
In the dim starry night, the cool breeze was blowing, and Ling Ning sat at the window boringly.
Her schedule is very different from that of people, and the later she is at night, the more energetic she becomes...... At this time, if he was in the room of the Affairs Department, Ling Ning would definitely be surfing the Internet all night. At this point, Ling Ning felt that it was really good not to live in an ancient society. In this time of information development, there will always be no shortage of night owls, whether it is a supplement or a game, you can always find some people to accompany you, and the long night will not seem too boring.
Ling Ning turned to look at the bed, her electronic devices were lying quietly beside Xiao Rin...... So boring.
Just when Ling Ning was struggling with whether to pick up the PSP and start the game again, a painful exclamation sounded.
In this quiet night, in this empty Su family garden, this small voice is so harsh. Ling Ning jumped off the windowsill and looked at a pavilion with red lanterns hanging in the distance with a frown...... Moreover, Ling Ning felt that this voice was somewhat familiar.
"Rin, wake up! Something is wrong. Ling Ning hurriedly came to the window and lifted the quilt.
At this time, Xiao Rin was already awake, she sat up and looked up at the pavilion outside the window. The tiredness on her face had disappeared, and she sighed helplessly: "It's really not a good night tonight." ”
"Rin, have you ever heard of the saying: Why sleep for a long time before you die, you will sleep forever after death? Ling Ning thought about the scene that had just disturbed Xiao Rin's sleep, and always felt that he should explain.
Ignoring Ling Ning's words, Xiao Rin stood up from the bed.
She put on a single coat and disappeared from the spot, leaving only one whisper of her in the empty room: "I'll go see the situation first, and if you want to go, move quickly." ”
"Hey, take me with you. Ling Ning muttered a little dissatisfied, but out of curiosity, she didn't stop any longer. She grabbed her coat and put it on, and jumped off the windowsill with a quick step...... Hmph, is this like dumping her?
......
Transformed into a wisp of green smoke, when Xiao Rin reappeared, she was already in a corridor.
Under the three crimson lanterns was an empty railing.
And on the railing, there was a small figure reclining in the doorway.
In front of Xiao Rin was a little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light cyan coat and short skirt, with a delicate and lovely appearance, soft curves and beautiful cheeks, with a gentle charm unique to the water town. At this time, her neckline had been torn open, and there was a neat row of tooth marks on her tender white neck.
Xiao Rin stared at her wounds...... This...... It's kind of weird!
The tooth marks were deep, and the wound was bloody and fleshy.
Where the canines are, there are two deep holes.
There are many youkai and xenomorphs who have a love for blood...... It's not like a youkai did it.
Of course, it's not a zombie or a vampire.
"Rin, it's that little girl!" In the next moment, a well-dressed Ling Ning also appeared beside the girl. She tore off a strip of her clothes and covered the girl's bloody neck. Looking at the bleeding wound, Ling Ning secretly licked his lips...... This girl's blood is amazingly delicious.
Just as Ling Ning had thought before, she knew this girl.
This girl is the boat lady, the sullen girl who always makes people feel a little confused.
"Hmm. Looking around, a layer of holy green appeared in her eyes.
Around the pavilion where the girl was attacked, the causal plane is clear and clear, and the end can be seen at a glance. But there is not the slightest trace of the attacker in these threads of cause and effect. The cleanliness gave Xiao Rin the illusion that someone had smoothed out those causes and effects with his hands......
"Rin, the wound is a little strange. Ling Ning also found an abnormality when she was treating Xiao Chuanniang's wounds.
Glancing at Ling Ning, Xiao Rin said, "...... Well, it's not like you bite. ”
"Hey, I'm not interested in drinking blood. I always feel like you're being humorous where you shouldn't be. Ling Ning was very distressed by Xiao Rin's excessive bad taste, but at this moment she was in no mood to pester Xiao Rin to refute. After a simple bandage, Ning began to think about the characteristics of the wound: "It's not a zombie, it's not a bat, it's not a vampire, it's not a monster that's weird. As she spoke, she tore another strip from her clothes, put the blood-stained piece of clothing on the tip of her nose and sniffed: "The smell...... It's cold. ”
"Rin, why didn't you speak from the beginning?" Ling Ning, who turned around and was about to ask her for advice, shouted dissatisfiedly.
From the time she came here until now, Xiao Rin ignored her, not even the girl in her arms.
She kept frowning slightly, staring slightly to the left and right.
"I'm thinking about something......" Xiao Rin showed a distressed expression when he said this: "It's coming very quickly." It seems that there are people who don't want us outsiders to get involved in things here. ”
In the deep night, at the end of the corridor, a row of red lanterns appeared in front of the two of them.
"Annoying the guests. It's late at night, please go back and rest, just leave it to the old decay here. ”
Under the red lantern, Xiao Rin and the others could faintly see that the leader was an old man in his sixties.
The old man had a goatee and a withered face.
His voice was dry, he was dressed in a gray-white robe, and he was gloomy, like a dead man.
"It's okay, we were also taken care of by this child yesterday. Now that something like this is happening, if you can, please let us help, Rin is very experienced in this area......"
Before Ling Ning finished speaking, the old man interrupted in a deep tone: "You are a guest, how can this kind of thing be so annoying." ”
"Ask the two guests to go back to the house and rest, and we'll take care of it here." ”
Following the old man, Xun Niang also came from the other end, she had just woken up, and there was residual sleepiness on her face.
Passing by the old man, she gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, glanced at Rin who was standing on the side, and shook her head slightly.
Then the mother came to Ling Ning and squatted down and held the little girl in her arms.
Xun Niang glanced at Ning gratefully and said, "You have done enough, let's go back and rest tonight." Don't worry, Xiaoyou will be fine, I will take her to the medical clinic for treatment, there is no big problem. ”
"But ......" looked at the little boat lady's painful face, and Ning still wanted to speak.
But this time, it was Xiao Rin who stopped her: "Ning, let's go back." ”
"What, Rin?"
"Let's go. ”
"Okay. Ling Ning glanced at Xiao Rin suspiciously, but did not refute.
When the two walked out of the small courtyard, some more people came outside one after another. There are middle-aged and old people in this line, and their faces are a little gloomy. However, Ling Ning didn't look at expressions like surprise and hatred on their faces.
.........
In the early morning of the second day, when Xiao Rin woke up, the sun had already risen.
Rubbing her hazy sleepy eyes, Rin walked down from the second floor wearing only a close-fitting coat. She was clearly not awake yet, her clothes were baggy, and the suspenders on her left shoulder had slipped down as she rubbed her eyes.
"Ning...... Morning. ”
I don't know when Ling Ning, who had woken up, was already dressed neatly, she was sitting on the table with one hand supporting her chin, and there was an iPad in front of her, and she lit it for a while. Even though it was already morning, she looked unrefreshed.
"It's early, I haven't slept at all last night!" Ling Ning, who was still very concerned about what happened last night, heard Xiao Rin's words and lay on the table with a tired expression.
Although she still had this lazy look on her face, she didn't mean to stay because she was still very concerned about what happened last night, and she put the ipad on the table into a small bag: "Rin, that little girl was attacked...... Let's go see her, I don't know how she's doing? By the way, you can still sleep so peacefully when you see that kind of thing, it's not like you. ”
"Then what do I look like in Ning's eyes?" Rubbing his eyes, Xiao Rin showed a faint smile.
"How so...... Although you usually have some bad taste, you are very kind at the critical moment. When encountering unfortunate people or things, Rin will always show up at a reasonable time and give appropriate help. By the way, Rin will not take sides of the side whether it is for humans or monsters, and it is precisely because of this that although the monsters in Fenghua City are afraid of you, they all like this Fenghua City very much......"
Speaking of this, Ling Ning summed it up and said, "Rin is a good person. ”
"Good guys?"
"Hmm!"
"Perhaps. But personally, I don't mean to be a good person, and I certainly don't want to be a bad person. I just made my own choices when I was confronted with certain things, and the totality of those choices was close to the concept of the 'good man' in human morality. Rin said, leaning against the window, looking out.
"I'm just me, not a good person. ”
Seeing such a tongue-twisting statement, Ling Ning was a little distressed: "I always feel that it is so complicated......"
"But no matter what, no matter if you are good or bad in the eyes of others, Rin will not change in my eyes. Rin is a very nice person...... She is also a very good sister, a more competent sister than me. Ling Ning's voice became lower and lower, and he turned around, otherwise Rin saw some lost eyes.
.........
The waves rippled in the morning light, and with a creaking sound coming from afar, a small boat came into the distance.
"Xiao Ning, this is your breakfast, come and eat. Pushing open the door, Xun Niang put a food box on the table. Maybe I didn't sleep, but today's Xunniang looks obviously a lot haggard, with a faint layer of dark circles on her bright eyes.
Whether it's Ning or Rin, who likes to lie in bed, they all wake up early today.
When Xun Niang came, they were all dressed and waiting at the table.
"Millet porridge, scrambled eggs, fritters. Bringing out a few dishes in the food box, Xun Niang put the dishes and chopsticks away, and asked Xiao Rin and them, "How is it, is it still your appetite?"
Before Xiao Rin could answer, Ning beside her hurriedly spoke: "Aunt Xun, how was that little girl yesterday?"
"It's okay, I'm recuperating in the hospital now. ”
"That's good. Although the girl was a little confused, she was still quite cute. Hearing this answer, Ning was obviously relieved. Then she steered the conversation in a different direction: "Did you spot the assailant last night? What hurt her? vampire or youkai?"
As for zombies or something, it must be impossible, and Ling Ning, as a generation in this regard, is still very sure that he will not be mistaken.
"Not yet...... Xun Niang said softly. Perhaps because she was afraid that the two of them would be worried, she added: "Don't worry, this is Su Yuan." Whatever goes wrong here, it will be solved here. ”
After finishing speaking, Xun Niang stood aside, she obviously didn't mean to take the topic. After pulling up the chairs for them, Xun Niang was about to leave: "The eldest lady should get up, I'll go back first." When you're done, just put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and I'll clean them up later. ”
Walking out of the door, Xun Niang reminded the house: "By the way, I have prepared a small boat at the door, if you want to go out, you can support the boat by yourself." Su Garden is very large, and the scenery in many places is good, you can go and see it...... There are no taboos. ”
......
Pushing a portion of food in front of him in front of Xiao Rin, Ning took out a can of pale green liquid from his small bag. Unscrewing the lid, she gulped down: "Rin, when will you change the taste, I'm tired." ”
Drinking millet porridge leisurely, Rin glared at her angrily: "It's good to drink some, don't complain." ”
"Milk tea, coffee, apple juice, oranges. Ning began to count the tastes of his food, five or six flavors: "Rin, I want to drink milk, real milk, not that kind of ......"
"If you're not afraid of a stomachache, you can drink it at any time. ”
“...... Alas, that's better to be free. ”
Waving his hand helplessly, Ling Ning's face became more serious, and he asked in a low voice, "Rin, what do you think of yesterday's events?" Didn't you say that the Su family is a branch of the ancient inheritance, it should be very powerful." Why is this happening?"
"What about the little girl?"
"Well, what else could it be but this?"
"And oh, where you weren't looking. Xiao Rin ate the food in front of her one bite at a time, although it didn't look fast, the food in front of her disappeared at an abnormal speed, and after a while, she solved all the food for the two of them.
"I won't take you out next time...... You have to eat something for two. ”
Wiping her mouth, Rin whispered, "If I get fat, Tsuki will laugh at me." ”
"Anyway...... Are you really going to be fat?" the corners of his mouth twitched, and Ning complained silently.
"Guess?" Rin squinted, revealing a faint smile.
Without waiting for Ling Ning to react, Rin put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then walked towards the outside of the house.
"Tell you about business, why do you always change the topic?" Unconsciously fiddling with the game console in her hand, Ling Ning watched her walk out of the house. Shaking her head, she got up and followed. What else could Rin say?
There was no one to support the boat, Xiao Rin himself held a long bamboo pole, tried a few times in the water, the boat was either spinning or deflecting in his hand, and Rin quickly mastered the appropriate strength. The national art has been trained to her level, and it has gradually penetrated from the qi and blood of the human body itself to the level of will, and the control of the body has long been perfected, and of course there is no suspense in such a trivial matter as taking a boat.
"Rin, where are you going?"
"Let's take a look at the attic where the incense burns in the morning and evening, and then take you to see Luoyun Lake. ”
Listening to Xiao Rin's introduction like the master's house, Ling Ning was puzzled for a while, she looked at Xiao Rin suspiciously, and asked, "Rin, have you ever been here, why are you so familiar with this garden!"
"No, it's my first time here, why do you ask. ”
"Your tone seems familiar. Ling Ning didn't believe it for a while!
"Little ghost, do you think I really slept in the room honestly last night?" Rin grinned, and a slightly godless face showed a wicked and wanton smile: "I came from a dream and watched through the three thousand realms. ”
"Rin went out last night?"
"Hmm. ”
"Genshin?"
"Well, it can also be regarded as a genshin. But it's only a tiny part of me. ”
“...... Yuan Shen travels, traveling three thousand, is really an enviable ability. ”
Looking at Ling Ning's envious look, Xiao Rin felt that he needed to remind him, otherwise, this lazy guy wouldn't know how valuable the knowledge he had obtained was in the inheritance: "You don't have to envy me, although your spirit and body are already inseparable, and you can't cultivate the Taoist Yuan Shen." But you don't have to be disappointed, everything is just a difference in expression, and the knowledge left by the senior brother should have what you need. ”
Lin Dao was still known as the most genius person in the history of the Qing Sect on Maoshan before her, known as the innate Dao body. Even if he dies, he will break free from the Infernal Realm and become the most terrifying ancestor.
Among the knowledge he left to his descendants, there would definitely be something that Ling Ning needed.
