Chapter 8: Hibiscus Garden

Previous Chapter

The scholar walked on the mountain road with his bags on his back, because he lingered in the beautiful scenery of the mountains, so that it was getting late and he had not yet reached the nearby town.

The scholar did not panic at this time, he just hoped to meet the hunters in the mountains for a night, and remembered that people often said that there are many monsters in the mountains, and they will transform into human forms to confuse passers-by.

"That's not bad." The scholar laughed stupidly,

"At least a place to rest, and maybe make friends with that youkai." Turning a corner, the scholar was pleasantly surprised

"Huh", and a small manor was reflected in his eyes. The scholar walked forward in three steps and two steps, but saw that it was a deserted garden, with mottled walls, and that only one door panel was left for the gate, and the other was lying on the steps.

The scholar stepped forward and recognized the inscription on the plaque with the paint off.

"Fleur...... Rong Yuan". The scholar stood at the door and poked his head out,

"Anyone...... Is there a demon...... None of them. The scholar walked in, and the overgrown garden was filled with many hibiscus trees, silently blooming pink and white flowers.

"Wow...... Beautiful, beautiful. The scholar walked in the garden, looking up at the hibiscus standing on the branches.

When the scholar was intoxicated, a faint voice came from his ear: "Hey." ”

"Ahh The scholar jumped up, followed the prestige, and saw a woman in white sitting on the hibiscus tree not far away, looking at him.

The scholar said happily: "Are you a demon?" ”

"Huh?" The woman tilted her head until she reacted

"Phew",

"You're the demon."

"Oh...... Is that the girl the master of this room? The scholar stepped forward and wanted to get closer, but the woman said coldly, "If you take half a step further, you will fall into the well." ”

"Oops!" The scholar looked down, hurriedly jumped away, straightened his clothes again, and said: "Thank you girl for reminding me, in Xia Su Mengting, I live in Hezhou, and now I am in Beijing to take the exam, passing by Guizhuang, and asking for a night." The woman looked at Su Mengting for a long time, and laughed softly: "I thought it was the Five Immortals Sect who also arrived in advance, but it turned out to be just a nerd." Su Mengting scratched his head and smiled: "It's a fake reader, but it's not a teaching." The woman said, "I didn't say I lived here, such a garden...... Oh, you're a scholar, and I didn't ask your name, aren't you afraid that I'm really a monster and want to harm you? Su Mengting said: "The girl is so beautiful, even if she is a demon, she is also a hibiscus flower demon, how can she harm people." Although Su Mengting praised her beauty, the woman just disdained

"Snort" and floated down from the tree, Su Mengting was stunned. I saw that the woman's toes were on the ground, Su Mengting's eyes flickered, and the other party had already bullied her.

Su Mengting shouted: "You are really a demon!" Otherwise, how could it be so fast! ”

"Cut," the woman scoffed,

"Haven't you seen anyone who practices martial arts?"

"Oh!" Su Mengting said loudly: "It turns out that the girl is those legendary people in the rivers and lakes!" The woman slid away and shook her head,

"I'm shocked, I really don't know." Su Mengting scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and leaned over,

"I wonder where the girl's family lives? Stay in the gold list and return to the door. ”

"You're sick!" The woman exclaimed. Su Mengting said: "I have always been healthy and have never been sick. The woman looked at him steadily,

"You and I just met for the first time today, and you don't even know my name, so you want to talk about marriage and marriage?" Su Mengting said: "But I fell in love with the girl at first sight, I thought that the girl was such a beautiful person, and her character would naturally not be bad, and she was a person in the rivers and lakes who she had always admired, so she ...... "woman."

A "ha" interrupted him,

"Stupid. The face wears away with the years, and the me you see is not all of me, but only what you think of me in your heart. Su Mengting scratched his head,

"This ...... Girl, don't worry, I won't change my heart for the girl......" The woman frowned, her figure flashed, and she suddenly went around Su Mengting's back, and knocked him to the ground with a knife,

"It's noisy." Looking at the scholar who was lying in the weeds, the woman sneered to herself: "Besides, human promises are the most untrustworthy in the world. "Night had completely fallen, and the mist was gradually filling the garden, clear and cold.

Early the next morning, Su Mengting sneezed and woke up. He got up as soon as he could, only to see that he was still in the garden, and the hibiscus was still in silent bloom in the white mist.

"Ahh Did I have a dream yesterday? Ahh Ah! It hurts! Su Mengting snorted, the woman was long gone, but the pain in her neck reminded her of what happened yesterday.

Su Mengting walked around the garden inside and out, where there was half a figure, and he kept sneezing, thinking that he was catching a cold, so he had to pack his bags and rush to the town to find a doctor.

Su Mengting hurriedly left the Hibiscus Garden, he didn't notice from beginning to end, among the weeds in the garden, there were a few blood-colored wood hibiscus.
