48. You are challenging my bottom line

Hu Dingtang took Hu Yunxi's arm with one hand and my collar with the other, and took the two of us back.

Hu Yunxi said distressedly: "Third brother, why did you come out?" Go back to retreat. ”

I stood aside and looked at Hu Dingtang, just like this just now, a layer of fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead, and at this moment, he was staring at me with a dark face: "You are very capable, right?" ”

"I ......" I wanted to argue, but I also knew that I was a little unreasonable, after all, I was a little impulsive to come here at night, "I just wanted to come and see you, but I didn't expect to encounter a little accident." ”

"That's a good thing, look at my third brother, heh, why don't you usually watch it, but choose to disturb him at this time? I think you're just trying to make a bad test! Hu Yunxi stood between me and Hu Dingtang and asked me, "Meng Jiusheng, please stay away from my third brother!" ”

"Yoon-hee, get out of the way." Hu Dingtang stretched out his hand and dragged Hu Yunxi away, pulled me a little farther away, looked down at me and asked, "Are you so sure that I must be here tonight?" ”

"I guess." I said, "It's hard to change a person's habits for a long time, and maybe you're already looking for a suitable retreat site, but there's a good chance you're not going to find it that quickly, so I'm just here to try my luck." ”

Hu Dingtang nodded: "It seems that I should change places as soon as possible." ”

I looked at the beads of sweat on his head, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to wipe it, but my hand was raised in the air, and then froze, always feeling that this action should not be done by me.

I wanted to put it down, but Hu Dingtang grabbed my wrist with one hand, pulled my hand to his forehead, and wiped his sweat little by little.

The fingertips touched his skin, it was cold, and I couldn't help but shrink back, my eyes didn't know where to put it, and I always felt that there was an angry gaze not far away that was hostile to me.

But the sweat came out layer after layer, as if it could never be wiped off, and I couldn't help asking, "Hu Dingtang, what's wrong with you?" You look weak, how can I help you? ”

"You can't help me for a while." Hu Dingtang held my hand and said, "But one day I can help, before that, you be honest." ”

I pulled my hand back hard, but the result may have been too strong, Hu Dingtang stumbled under his feet, and actually fell towards me, I quickly reached out to support his chest, so that he would not really fall.

"Hu Dingtang, what's wrong with you?" I didn't give up asking, he didn't pretend to fall down just now, he was really weak.

Hu Dingtang shook his head: "It's okay, it'll be fine after tonight." ”

But I squatted down and reached out to pull the hem of his right leg, because when he was about to fall down just now, his right leg was obviously bent, and I felt that it was because my right leg was not able to exert force.

Hu Dingtang took two or three steps back in a row, stabilized his body and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"The problem is in the right leg, isn't it?" I asked.

Before Hu Dingtang could speak, Hu Yunxi had already rushed over and pressed Hu Dingtang down: "Third brother, don't move, look at the northwest." ”

To the northwest, a beating dark green thing peeked out from under the ground, and when the wind blew, it spread in all directions, some drifting far away, and some drifting and scattering.

It's a ghost fire.

It is not surprising that there are ghost fires in mass graves, but it is not normal for so many to appear at once, and they still come out of the same place.

"The person you're looking for should be gone." Hu Dingtang said in a deep voice, "Let's withdraw." ”

"How can you be sure? Why withdraw? "In my opinion, now is a good time to go up and find out.

Hu Dingtang said: "Didn't you analyze the so-called researchers who are not afraid of death very thoroughly? The student who died was frozen to death, and if this area wants to reach such a low temperature, what other way can there be than to gather ghost fire to the maximum? ”

Therefore, these ghost fires that floated out just now were actually gathered from the surrounding area to the maximum extent before, and the purpose of the gathering was to freeze Du Hua to death.

No, it's not to freeze to death, but to completely extract his essence, which is most likely used to raise evil things like hungry ghosts.

"Now is not the time to be tough, you will not come to this kind of place in the future, go back first." Hu Dingtang commanded again.

Now I have no position to refute, although I am sad that I couldn't save Du Hua, but I also understand that I can only listen to Hu Dingtang now.

The carriage stopped on the mountain road, and drove the carriage all the way back, but it was also smooth.

When I returned to the shroud shop, I saw Hu Yunzhi standing at the door of the shroud shop waiting, and Professor Jin and the others did not come to me to stay overnight.

Hu Yunzhi greeted me, handed me the key and said, "I have made proper arrangements for those people, you can rest assured if you hand them over to me." ”

"Leave everyone else alone, what should the third brother do tonight?" Hu Yunxi's whole mind was on Hu Dingtang's body, "It's all because Meng Jiushang is so troublesome, and the ancient tomb must not be able to go." ”

Hu Yunzhi also asked uneasily: "Third brother......"

"I'm fine, what should you do?" Hu Dingtang put one hand on my shoulder, and the weight of half of his body was pressed down.

He was tall and big, and I had some difficulty supporting him, but I could only endure it, and suddenly regretted going to the ancient tomb.

"Third brother, do you want to go back to the mansion?" Hu Yunxi proposed.

Hu Yunzhi also nodded: "The big guys are here, if there is something, they can also help the third brother stabilize." ”

"No, I'll sleep here tonight, you guys go back." Hu Dingtang said lightly.

My whole body tensed instantly, and I said in disbelief: "You...... What did you say? ”

"After all, I think you're more symptomatic than your brothers and sisters in the mansion." Hu Dingtang joked.

Hu Yunxi suddenly exploded: "Third brother, you are confused, how can this broom star compare to the people in our mansion, you ......"

"Yoon-hee, let's go."

Before Hu Yunxi's words were finished, Hu Yunzhi had already dragged her into the carriage, pressed her in, and then said to me: "Miss Meng, I'm tired of you tonight." ”

"Hey, don't ......"

Before I could say anything about refusal, the carriage had already left quickly, and when I turned around again, Hu Dingtang had already walked through the storefront and headed towards the backyard.

I had to close the door of the store, trot and chase over, and when I entered the bedroom, I didn't see Hu Dingtang, I turned around and wanted to go out to find it, after all, the person handed it over to me, if something really happened, I couldn't bear it.

Just as soon as I turned around, the whole person fell into Hu Dingtang's broad chest, I was so shocked that I let out a low cry, and the next moment I was already taken to bed by him.

Hu Dingtang blocked me in the bed, I wanted to get up, he pressed me with one hand, like an iron arm, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't move, I'm in pain." ”

"Hu Dingtang, you lied to me, don't want to use this to pressure me, I won't be fooled by you!" I didn't hold out.

"Really, it hurts." He moved closer, and the chill came straight at me, "It's still a little cold." ”

He was in a bad state, and after seeing his cold sweat and feeling his cold body, I finally realized that he was really in pain at the moment.

I quieted down and let him hold me in his arms, as if he wanted to embed me in his body, and his warm body began to chill as well.

"Hu Dingtang, what's wrong with you? Let me see if your legs are okay? I began to talk to him softly like a child, "If you can't do this, you will be frozen to death in pain at the end of the night." ”

"No, it won't." He frowned and said, "As long as you are well-behaved and accompany me, I can get through it, and I will be fine after midnight." ”

I was actually very angry in my heart, from the beginning, Hu Dingtang contacted me just to let me help him, but he never said what he helped him.

And tonight, I finally figured out that Hu Dingtang should have a hidden disease, which would attack on the fifteenth day of every month, making him miserable, and even restricting his mana.

This is his fatal point, this secret cannot be leaked casually, otherwise it will be used by people with ill intentions, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

But since you've chosen me to help him, why can't you let me look at his legs, maybe I'll be able to help him now?

At the end of the day, he still doesn't trust my abilities.

At this time, he will not compromise on anything I say, because he simply does not have the energy to consider my words.

As the night got deeper and deeper, Hu Dingtang's state became worse and worse, from the beginning of a simple hand-wrapping me, to later, I was almost like a cat, strangled in his arms, his right leg has been twitching, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, a mouth bit on my shoulder, and he didn't let go for a long time.

Tears fell from my eyes, but I knew he didn't mean to.

If I hadn't broken through tonight, he would have had a way to suppress some of this pain in the tomb, and my presence would have made the area unstable, and he would be in danger at any time if he stayed there.

I have to bear the trouble of my own trouble.

I don't know how long it took for Hu Dingtang to slowly let go of me, both of them were wrapped in the quilt like washing, he finally lay down and his breathing slowly slowed down.

I was still curled up, the pain in my shoulder, and the wet stickiness that made me know that there must be a blur of flesh and blood.

I was already exhausted, and my nerves, which had been tense, relaxed, and I couldn't hold up a pair of eyelids, and I wanted to sleep in a daze.

Just about to start fighting with Zhou Gong, Hu Dingtang next to me turned over and encircled me into his arms again, I was excited, thinking that he was going to make a comeback again, and bit me again, so frightened that my eyes widened suddenly.

"It hurts, doesn't it?" His voice rang out above my head, and then something cold smeared on my shoulder, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have bitten you." ”

"It's okay, it's a lesson I deserve." I was smothered in his chest, and my bowels were about to turn blue, but the pain in my shoulder quickly disappeared after the ointment was applied, and the faint scent of the ointment soothed my nerves and made me want to sleep again.

Hu Dingtang hugged me like that, and the two of them were safe and sound, and slept until dawn.

……

When I woke up again, it was already three poles in the morning, and my brain was dull for a while, and then I sat up all of a sudden, and subconsciously pulled up the quilt.

My eyes wandered around, but I didn't see Hu Dingtang's figure, he should have left a long time ago, I was slightly relieved.

But when my eyes turned to myself, I suddenly screamed again, and the whole person was covered in the quilt, and my heart was in a mess.

My clothes had been changed, and all that was left was a clean white shirt with no blood on my shoulder, apparently carefully treated.

And last night, the only one who accompanied me was Hu Dingtang.

He...... What did he do for me to change my clothes?

Oh my God, this man...... Is he crazy?

Even if there was no one at home, I still shrunk in the quilt for a long time and didn't dare to come out, my brain was very messy, and I vigorously denied my conjecture, it wouldn't be Hu Dingtang's change, no.

But when I think of the bits and pieces we got along with before, I began to feel unconfident, this person usually looks like a decent gentleman who is not close, but how Meng Lang he is, how scoundrel he is, I know very well.

He had already labeled me as his belongings, and perhaps it seemed to him that it was nothing to change clothes for his own woman, but in my opinion, I was not his woman, so how could he do this?

My whole person was in a mess, and I thought about it a lot, until there was a sound of footsteps coming from the yard, I suddenly woke up, and just sat up to find a piece of clothing to wear, Hu Dingtang had already walked in.

I didn't expect to see this person again so soon, the whole person was stunned on the bed, and his face was red and about to drip blood: "You...... You didn't go? ”

"Do you think everyone sleeps like a pig like you? I left the house at four o'clock in the morning. As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to pull me.

Like a frightened bird, I quickly shrank to the foot of the bed, dodged him, and said with trembling lips, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"Help you take the medicine, don't move around, it's not good if your shoulder collapses again after a while." He beckoned to me, "Come here." ”

"No," I refused, "you give me the ointment, I'll be there myself, you go." ”

"What are you worried about?" He asked me, "Don't tell me you're shy, there's no need." ”

He said it easily, but it didn't feel right in my ears, and finally I couldn't help asking, "You changed my clothes?" ”

"The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of blood, can you sleep peacefully if you don't change it?" He rightly asked me rhetorically.

"Did you really change it?" I felt like my head was going to explode, so I grabbed the pillow on the side and smashed it into his face, "Hu Dingtang, do you want to be embarrassed!" I'm going to want you to be ashamed! ”

The pillow was firmly caught by him, and he looked at me with a strange expression: "Isn't it just to help you change your clothes, are you?" ”

"As for, it's too much, Hu Dingtang, you get out of me, don't appear in front of me in the future." I grabbed another pillow and just wanted to smash it, but Hu Dingtang stretched out his hand and carried me directly like a chicken.

I tried to fight with him, but he pressed him into his arms, one hand went around the back of my neck, pressed my big hand on my cheek, and prevented me from moving, and the other hand pulled my collar and began to drug my shoulder.

On the other hand, he didn't forget to count me down: "Meng Jiushang, I don't have time to mess with you, I'll be very busy recently, you be good." ”

"What are you busy with?" He spoke to me in a serious manner, which made me think of Professor Jin at once, and then asked, "Do you care about the mass grave?" ”

He didn't answer me immediately, but lowered his head and carefully applied the medicine to me, and after pulling my clothes up, he said: "This matter, you have to take care of it, but I won't care about the two people who died, I have asked Yunzhi to send Professor Jin and his party to the train station early this morning." ”

"Professor Kim is gone?" Two lives, just so willingly say that you will lose it?

Hu Dingtang asked me rhetorically: "Otherwise?" Do you want to stay here and wait for death? ”

"Hu Dingtang, what's going on with the mass grave? The two empty villages and the hungry ghost gangrene have something to do with what is hidden under the mass grave, right? I stared at him with a solemn expression.

He nodded: "That's where it all came from." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and stroked my cheek and said, "Perhaps, all this came for me from the beginning. ”

"Coming for you? Your enemy? I asked.

"Enemy?" Hu Dingtang sneered and sneered, "Some people are not enemies, but they are very much like enemies, Meng Jiusheng, you are my person, you have to be careful, you know?" ”

After saying that, he let go of me, screwed on the medicine bottle, and stood up to leave, I grabbed his robe and made a bold guess: "It's from your family, isn't it?" ”

"Your grandfather is old, he wants to choose an heir, your eldest brother and second brother are fighting fiercely, and you were excluded early, and now on your territory, these things suddenly appear, do you want to get rid of you first, or do you want to win you over?"

"It shouldn't be that they want to get rid of you, otherwise, after the accident at Zhen Ji's tomb, your whereabouts have been exposed, and you went there for retreat last night, they won't miss this opportunity, so their purpose is the latter."

"Hu Dingtang, do you think my analysis is right?"

I said to myself, as soon as I raised my head to meet Hu Dingtang's cold eyes, my heart trembled, and the next moment, Hu Dingtang had already pinched my chin, and said in a cold tone: "Meng Jiushang, don't be smart, you'd better not interfere in my family's affairs." ”

"You dragged me into this whirlpool, why are you here to intimidate me now!" I'm not convinced.

"You're my man, just listen to me!" Hu Dingtang's attitude changed too quickly, which made me a little afraid, obviously, I stepped on his reverse scales, "Don't happen again like the last time you carried me to the fox clan, let alone try to climb someone in the fox clan, otherwise, I don't mind ruining you with my own hands." ”

I frowned, and then I understood why Hu Dingtang was so sensitive to this matter, he was afraid that I would betray him to cooperate with his eldest brother or second brother in order to go to the fox clan.

Thinking of this, a terrible thought suddenly flashed in my mind, if I really cooperated with one of those two, would I really be able to find out my background faster?

Just like that, my careful thoughts fell into Hu Dingtang's eyes, and the next moment, I was already pressed on the bed: "Meng Jiushang, you are challenging my bottom line!" ”
