Chapter 59: Traces Found
In the woods.
Duan Qianxiao staggered forward, coughed, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He ran as hard as he could, and although he was tired, he knew he couldn't stop.
The monster behind him didn't seem to follow anymore, but Duan Qianxiao didn't let his guard down. He still didn't understand what that huge black shadow was.
At first, he thought it was a spirit beast, but he didn't feel any life fluctuations inside. If it is a dead thing, it has such a surging and terrifying power.
And that weird and horrible feeling that thing gave him......
Duan Qianxiao coughed heavily, and he felt that there was no pain in his body. He swallowed the blood in his mouth, took out a white jade bottle from the storage bag, and swallowed all the elixirs inside.
There is still an endless forest in front of you, with no end in sight. Just when Duan Qianxiao felt that he was about to use up all his strength, he suddenly saw a wooden house appear in front of him.
His eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately went and began to knock on the door.
"Bang bangβ"
After a while, the door opened, and a young woman in goose yellow clothes was looking at him suspiciously.
Duan Qianxiao said: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to bother, but I just ......" Before he finished speaking, his body went limp, and he almost fell.
The woman hurriedly supported Duan Qianxiao and said to him, "It's okay, come in." β
The young woman in front of her had a delicate face, giving people a feeling of sickness and weakness. But Duan Qianxiao always felt that her face was too pale, and she didn't seem to be in good health.
The woman invited him into the house, poured him a cup of tea, and asked softly, "Why is this son so badly injured?" β
Duan Qianxiao thanked him and said, "This matter is a long story, I met a monster with a strange body in the forest. β
With that, he described the monster in detail.
The woman was shocked when she heard this: "There are still such things in the forest?" I've lived here for so long and I've never seen one. β
Duan Qianxiao: "Don't worry, this girl, I have already shaken it off, it shouldn't come over." β
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Qianxiao held the teacup in front of the table, the tea was warm and clear, it didn't smell peculiar, with a faint fragrance of tea, there should be no problem.
But Duan Qianxiao didn't drink tea.
The first is that he is not thirsty, and the second is that although this woman looks weak and harmless, she is indispensable for defense, and he is now weak, so he must be more careful.
The facilities in the wooden house were very simple, Duan Qianxiao looked at it for a while, and his eyes were on the woman in front of him.
Duan Qianxiao: "The girl's face is a little pale, is it because she is not in good health?" β
The woman smiled gently: "Since I was a child, I have been weak and sickly, and my son has smiled." β
Duan Qianxiao wanted to ask her why she lived alone in this forest, but when he looked at her, he suddenly thought of something.
"I see that the girl is very familiar, have we seen it anywhere?" Duan Qianxiao said.
The woman was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "I haven't seen Childe, there are so many people coming and going in this world, Childe may just see a person who is somewhat similar to me?" β
She has a point.
But a strange feeling rose in Duan Qianxiao's heart.
He must have seen her, but where?
Duan Qianxiao was thinking with his eyes down, but at this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the woman's ankle under the wooden table......
At that moment, he finally understood something!
Duan Qianxiao raised his head suddenly: "You ......"
But before he finished speaking, he felt a dizziness in his head, and the woman in front of him gradually blurred, turning into a ghost......
I didn't drink tea, why did this happen? Also, why did this person ......
"Bang!"
Duan Qianxiao fell heavily.
The woman in the goose yellow shirt looked at Duan Qianxiao, who had fainted in front of her, and a smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth.
At the same time, her temperament has also undergone completely different changes, and that weak temperament is suddenly gone.
The woman's eyes flashed with a hint of calmness, and then she poured out the cup of tea on the table.
β¦β¦
Lakeside.
After Wen Yuan cleaned up, Mu Jiujiu continued to move forward with him.
On the way, Mu Jiujiu looked sad, and felt that he had the big words "Dengtuzi" written on his head.
She didn't talk much all the way, and she always felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
In fact, Wen Yuan is okay, he is still the same as usual, but he is always a little reluctant, and he has a taste of wanting to cover up when he explains......
"I told you you don't have to care." Wen Yuan seemed to see her embarrassment and said indifferently.
Mu Jiujiu: "......" The baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say. It would be nice if she really looked at it on purpose, but she didn't.
But think about it, why bother with this kind of thing? Obviously, Wenyuan's predecessors didn't care.
Mu Jiujiu suddenly calmed down, and his back straightened a little.
At this time, she heard Wen Yuan write lightly: "Wasn't you very bold when you asked me to make a promise, why are you so shy when you look at it now?" β
He was referring to the moment when he had just been injured and was picked up by Mu Jiujiu.
Mu Jiujiu was surprised: "...... You're talking nonsense! β
At that time, she was obviously making reasonable inferences based on the plot of the hero saving the beauty, how did she ask him to make a personal promise!
Wen Yuan chuckled after hearing this: "Okay, I'm talking nonsense." β
There was a bit of indescribable taste in his smile, and even the eyebrows under his eyes were dyed with a little smile, as if thousands of spring lights stopped in his eyes.
Mu Jiujiu looked at him, listened to his beautiful voice, and was inexplicably hit in his heart.
At this moment, Wen Yuan's whole person was relaxed and gentle, and Mu Jiujiu couldn't help but think of the first time he saw him.
At that time, he was still helping out in the Drunken Immortal Residence, and when he happened to see a man with a unique temperament, his eyes were attracted.
It is true that Wen Yuan was also extremely handsome at that time, otherwise he would not have noticed him from many guests. But at that time his eyes were extremely cold, and she looked at him with a little fear. At that time, the indifference in his eyes was like a cold coming out of his bones, which made everyone close to him feel a chill.
Nowadays, although he often has a expressionless face, he doesn't seem to have that kind of impersonal atmosphere.
The weather was nice at this time, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the sun. Wen Yuan turned his head and smiled at her.
Mu Jiujiu thought, if it is a painting in the world, then he must be the most moving stroke.
She lowered her eyes, thinking to herself that this was too foul.
Also, why do I always look at him lately, always because of his words.
Mu Jiujiu vaguely understood it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it.
"By the way, tell me something." Mu Jiujiu thought of the butterfly mark on his right waist and suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" Wen Yuan said.
"When I was showering, I noticed a strange mark on my waist, which must have appeared on the way to this side, I think...... Hey? β
Before Mu Jiujiu finished speaking, he paused and looked ahead.
Wen Yuan followed her gaze.
In front of me were blood dripping all the way, and a white jade bottle rolling down the side of the road.
