The mud bodhisattva suddenly shook and trembled, and suddenly in front of the space where Zhong Kui was standing, there were two more cold and blurred figures.

"Remember us, boy?"

Just as Zhong Kui was stunned by the figures that appeared in front of him, one of them suddenly spoke. Shocked, he was busy and habitually pulled the short-handled scabbard on his waist, got! The outstretched hand took a moment, and then suddenly remembered that when he went to Menling Village that day, he was almost not killed, and the short-handled scabbard may have fallen into the mud.

Zhong Kui, who had just retracted his hand in shock, was once again stunned by the scene that appeared in front of him.

The shadow who spoke raised the short-handled scabbard in his hand and said to him, "Are you looking for this?" ”

"Who are you? How can there be a scabbard of my sword? ”

Zhong Kui wanted to reach out to pick up the short-handled scabbard handed to him by the other party, but he didn't answer it. The arm swiped a semi-circular arc in mid-air, and woke up as it landed on the leg and slammed it down.

After waking up, Zhong Kui realized that he had just had a dream, looking at the clay statue Bodhisattva in the dark, he ate and smiled. Retracting his straightened leg, a tingling pain spread throughout his body, making him very uncomfortable. I couldn't help but want to stand up, but when I stood up, my foot touched something and blocked it slightly, making a crunch sound of metal touching the ground.

What is it? A question popped up in Zhong Kui's mind, so he bent down to look at his feet. This look froze him again, how could the short-handled scabbard come under his feet? Picking up the short-handled scabbard, he couldn't help but think of the dream just now, and once again cast his eyes on the two clay statues of the Bodhisattva who were mottled and peeled off the mud, and couldn't even see the outline of their facial features clearly. The brain is momentarily stagnant and feels a little dizzy throughout.

The morning rain and dew moisten all things, and the morning sun sprinkles the earth in the gentle breeze.

Zhong Kui, who was leaning in the corner, woke up suddenly when his eyelids felt a hazy figure jumping to cover the light. The moment he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the children yelling around a slender figure with an equally unkempt back called Hanako.

Dusting off the rolled grass clippings, Zhong Kui corrected his posture and looked at the people surrounded by children. walked over step by step, grabbed the little tiger tooth at random and said, "What are you making trouble?" As he spoke, Hanako, who was surrounded by Hanako, seemed to see him, and hurriedly looked away from the temple door on purpose.

This person's behavior was strange, and Zhong Kui felt strange. It stands to reason that he has also been here for half a month, but this Hanako didn't greet him, but deliberately avoided him.

Xiao Huya, who was pulled away by Zhong Kui, was anxious, and continued to raise his voice and shouted, "Sister Xiaoqing, I want it too." ”

"Xiaoqing......?" Zhong Kui was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly approached to see who this woman was? You can't just take a closer look! Besides, the other party seems to be deliberately dodging.

Zhong Kui saw that the children seemed to be fighting for something, so he pretended to get close to fight for it, and said loudly, "Get out of the way and show my brother what is good." ”

How could the children compete for Zhong Kui, under his pull and send, the children hula scattered. In the crowded circle just now, Zhong Kui and Xiaoqing were left.

Xiaoqing still didn't turn his head to look at Zhong Kui, his body was standing stiffly, and in the bamboo basket that his arm didn't have time to put down, the lid that was lifted revealed a chubby steamed bun, and the steamed bun was steaming with a tempting heat.

Zhong Kui stared at the steamed bun in a daze, staring at the figure with his back to him. My heart was pounding, and my breathing was fast and unsteady. The noise stopped instantly, and the children watched him and Xiaoqing's actions.

If the other party is not vanilla, but an extremely ordinary flower child, then why would she appear in such a state. Xiaoqing must be vanilla, and this idea stubbornly came out of Zhong Kui's thinking of Liz.

Thoughts and brain thinking Zhong Kui didn't have time to think, so he shouted: "Vanilla, is that you?" ”

When Zhong Kui shouted out the vanilla, Xiaoqing's body trembled slightly, and then he turned around eighty degrees, looked at Zhong Kui head-on and said, "Who are you calling?" ”

No! This is not vanilla. When Zhong Kui saw Xiaoqing's face, her messy and dirty face was completely exposed to his sight.

In Zhong Kui's memory, vanilla Ana's figure is fresh and refined, with willow eyebrows, almond eyes, and cherry mouths...... She will never become the person called Hanako in front of her.

"Ugh! Sorry, I recognized the wrong person. Zhong Kui hurriedly lowered his head, his face was as red as Guan Gong's face.

Zhong Kui didn't notice that just when he said that he recognized the wrong person, Xiaoqing's expression instantly dimmed, and he put down the bamboo basket in the gap. Glancing at him with a complicated facial expression, he who had already turned his back to her and left, said to the children in a heavy tone: "Come, come and eat steamed buns, it won't taste good when it's cold later." ”

Zhong Kui, who walked to the gate of the temple with his back to Xiaoqing, suddenly turned around and stared at Xiaoqing, constantly searching for vanilla in his memory and his voice when singing mountain songs. He felt that there was an element of vanilla in Xiaoqing's voice, especially the tone of his speech.

"Do you know how to sing mountain songs?"

Xiaoqing seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then shook her head desperately, but she didn't say anything again.

The children were hungry, and under Xiaoqing's greeting, they flocked to pick up the big white flour steamed buns and bite them.

Zhong Kui still stared at Xiaoqing, and made a request that embarrassed Xiaoqing.

"I'll listen to you when you roar."

Xiaoqing shook her head, raised her dirty but delicate fingers, and pointed to her throat to imply that her throat was uncomfortable and she couldn't roar.

Zhong Kui glanced at the gobbling children, and when Xiaoqing denied that she was vanilla, his whole body and mind were empty. He glanced at Xiaoqing again, swallowed a puddle of saliva secreted by the nervous sublingual glands, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You saved me?" ”

Xiaoqing pointed at the children, then glanced at Zhong Kui's face lightly and nodded, deliberately sticking his fingers to his throat, as if his throat was really uncomfortable.

"How do you know I'm going to be killed? Are they all children of Menling Village? How did you get them out? Zhong Kui asked Xiao Qing again and again.

Zhong Kui couldn't see Xiaoqing's true appearance clearly, and he didn't know if she had smeared the ashes of the pot or something else, anyway, her facial features and skin were all black. If you see it at night, you might think you've seen a ghost!

When Zhong Kui asked, Xiaoqing pouted and was stunned for a long time, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

Zhong Kui and Xiaoqing froze in place, and the clever little tiger tooth saw this and ran to the two of them.

"Brother Zhong Kui, Sister Xiaoqing just knew that someone had an accident in Menling Village, and called us to save you together."

"It's none of your business, go to the side." Zhong Kui grabbed Xiaohuya's teeth and stared at Xiaoqing unrelentingly.

Because Xiaoqing's face was so black that he seemed to be wearing a black mask. Except for seeing the two black and white eyeballs turn around the bones, I couldn't see the change in her facial expression at all.

Pause for a moment: "I don't know anything. Xiaoqing deliberately hoarsely voiced, and suddenly said to Zhong Kui in a rough voice. Then he added: "The children are so small that they have to be taken care of, so I will trouble you to help me watch them for the time being, and I still have to find food." As he spoke, Xiaoqing quickly left the place and walked straight to the door without looking back.
