Xu Xi was lying in the wilderness, the blood-colored moon hanging in front of him, as if he could take it off with a raised hand.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, her hands were soaked in red light, as if they were stained with a layer of blood.

She remembers the first time she killed someone, when she was only thirteen years old, her father was disabled for life due to an accident, and her mother was beautiful but an alcoholic, living in endless quarrels and verbal abuse. One day, when the police arrived, she was sitting in a pool of blood carrying a plastic chair, holding a fruit knife in her right hand, dripping blood.

She knew in her heart that Pei Huai was right, but she lived in a rat nest like these people in her previous life, and she didn't want to admit that she was the mouse that was discarded.

The breeze blew through the grass and folded low, Xu Xi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to clear these feelings of self-pity from his mind. Suddenly, only a faint sound of rustling could be heard from the ground, small but clear enough.

Xu Xi quickly lay down and kept her ears close to the ground, the ancients used objects to conduct the vibration of the ground, and now she is also emulating this behavior.

Sure enough, there was a rustling sound in my ears, like the scraping of my dress and grass, followed by a slight pant and the sound of floating footsteps.

Xu Xi was puzzled in his heart, he had just raised his upper body from the grass, and he was greeted by a bright red dress, the woman was draped in her hair, and she seemed to be a demon seeking her life under the blood-colored moonlight.

The "female ghost" heard the movement, turned around slowly, and saw a woman on the grass propping up her upper body, covered in dirt, as if she was going to drag her into the ground.

The two looked at each other for a moment, screaming at the same time.

"Hell!"

Xu Xi stopped after screaming twice, thinking that ghosts would not be called ghosts, and the female ghost in red in front of him must be human. However, the woman in red in front of her didn't seem to want to stop, and after screaming twice, she pulled out her legs and ran.

"Hey! Come back! Xu Xi shouted twice at her back and lost her strength, she was really tired after going through so much today.

"Come back! I'm a human, not a ghost! ”

Xu Xi was choked by himself, coughed twice, and squatted on the ground panting.

The woman in red gradually stopped running, but still stood far away and shouted to her, "Are you really not a ghost? She asked.

Xu Xi suddenly felt very funny, "Have you ever seen... Ahem... Which ghost would cough? ”

The woman burst out laughing and walked over to her with her skirt in hand. Xu Xi saw the girl's appearance clearly, her eyebrows were clear, but her childishness was still there, but she put rouge gouache on her face and painted her eyebrows, which looked like a mature woman.

Xu Xi suddenly understood eight points in his heart.

"What are you ......," she pointed to the red dress, shoes and socks, "to get married?" ”

The girl suddenly blushed, not ashamed, but more angry.

"What a marriage! I'm only seventeen years old, and my father thinks about marrying me off all the time. ”

Is you seventeen...... In her previous life, she was really young, and she was not an adult, thinking that this was in ancient times, it is estimated that this girl is an older leftover girl.

Xu Xi was amused by her thoughts, and the girl suddenly said, "What are you laughing at, you look about the same age as me...... At most, one or two years old. ”

"I'm twenty-five." Xu Xiyi corrected rhetorically, "It's a lot older than you." ”

"I can't see it." The girl shook her head.

Xu Xi patted his head, and suddenly remembered that this body still belonged to someone else, and naturally he didn't have the age of his previous life...... Anyway, why did she discuss this with a girl in the middle of the night?

“…… Let's not talk about that, let's find a place to spend the night. ”

"So that's why you ran away from home and ran away from marriage?"

Xu Xi wiped her face, she had just changed into a clean dress, and now she was refreshed.

Fortunately, this eldest lady is not stupid, and she still remembers to bring some silver jewelry when she runs away from home, otherwise the two of them may not be able to get to the inn and take a hot bath at such a late hour.

"Don't you think my reasons are bad?" Gu Chaoci turned his head and smashed the wooden barrel with his fist in anger, and suddenly put his hand back into the hot water in pain, "You just used my money to buy food, spit it out!" ”

The girl's name is Gu Chaoci, the daughter of the Gu family in Suihe, and her father is a well-respected Confucian. Although the family has been very strict since she was a child, she is also very fond of her. Now that her father is going to marry her to a son of a general's mansion, Gu Chaoci is extremely unhappy, and she was locked in the room by her father after arguing with her father for a few words, so she was angry and fled on the day she got married.

"It's just a few buns, don't be so stingy." She smiled, "Actually, I think your dad is very good to you, although a little... Strict, but I promise, your father was really nice to you. ”

"You know what! Would you like to marry a man you've never met? Gu Chao said angrily.

"Kind of." Xu Xi nodded.

Gu Chaoci was very satisfied with Xu Xi's verbal support for her, but who knew that Xu Xi suddenly changed his words and said, "Then you should still take a look, if you are handsome, you can still consider it." ”

"You man!" Gu Chaoci began to knock on the bucket with her little fist again, but at this time she paid attention to her strength, "Should I stay in that small courtyard for the rest of my life, and not step out of the gate?" ”

Xu Xi sighed, "Can't you see that you are very conscious?" Let's hear it. ”

At this time, Gu Chao didn't make a fuss, just lay on the side of the bathtub and sighed, "I just think...... I want to go out and see it, after all, the world is big, and there are many things I haven't seen before. ”

"You know what?" She suddenly rolled over again, bringing a splash of water, "When my master came to my house, he brought such a thing," she said with a finger of length, "the red one, as long as it is a little bit, it will make a snapping sound, I think it is very interesting." ”

"That's called firecrackers, Miss." Xu Xi continued.

"Yes, but later I found out that the whole family, only I don't know what that thing is called."

Xu Xi heard a trace of sadness from these words, this girl with clear eyebrows was lying on the side of the barrel, water droplets dripped down her fingertips on the floor, and the childishness between her eyebrows and eyes looked particularly painful.

"Okay, don't be sad," Xu Xi touched her wet hair, "It's out, just follow me in the future, anyway, I'm wandering around all day, and now it's time to be a companion." ”

"Really!" The girl suddenly rolled over and splashed everywhere.

"Why am I lying to you?" She pressed the girl's excited hand, "Also, don't get the water out there anymore!" She gritted her teeth and said, "The innkeeper said that we should clean this place!" ”

The two of them made a companion, this way from north to south, almost across most of the Northern Yan Kingdom, saw the huge peony in Xuanyang autumn, the fishermen fishing on the ice on the frozen river bay in Huailing in winter, the weeping willows on the ten-mile causeway in the early spring of Yanjin, and now in the blink of an eye, they have all passed the Qingming Festival.

On this day, there was a light rain outside, Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci left early, and they didn't have time to sit down for a meal and rest until noon.

The people in southern Sui are pure, the scenery is good, the people are good, and there are a lot of food, and a lot of money has been spent along the way. The two of them arrived in a state under the rule of Sui Nan today, Gu Chaoci called his guy and asked a few special dishes, but before Xu Xi could interject, she ordered a bunch of them.

Waiting for the guy to leave with a smile, Xu Xi hesitated again and again, and asked, "Order so much...... Can we finish eating? ”

Gu Chaoci took a peanut and waved his chopsticks nonchalantly, "Don't worry, eat slowly, taste a little bit of every dish." ”

"Your serious aunt?" Xu Xi grabbed the bag he was carrying, and his expression suddenly withered, "We're running out of money......

"What!"

When she shouted, everyone looked over to her.

"You're quieter!" Xu Xi hurriedly pulled her over, "Listen to me, we met, it's been half a year." ”

Seeing her nodding, Xu Xi said again, "So the food, clothing, housing and transportation for the past half a year have been provided by the things you brought out, and now that the things are gone, we can't spend money so lavishly!" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xi was sad for a while, she is a full-time account keeper, and she can even control Luo Bing, who loves to chop hands, why doesn't it work on Miss Gu every time.

"But I won't ...... anything," Gu Chaoci helplessly spread his hands.

"It's okay, I will, just don't ...... it in the future"

"Here comes the dish~"

The sound of the man serving the food interrupted the conversation between the two, and not long after, an extremely delicious fish was placed in front of the two, the soup was mellow and fragrant, and the two of them couldn't help but move their index fingers when they smelled it.

However, the last glimmer of desire to survive still made Xu Xi catch the shopkeeper, "How much is this fish?" ”

"No more, no less, twenty times."

"Twenty my heavenly ......" Xu Xi silently held his forehead, "We can ...... Do you want to return two dishes? ”

As soon as the words fell, several guys rushed in and filled the table with seven or eight dishes.

Why is it served so quickly?!

When it was night, Xu Xi had to pull Gu Chaoci out of the cheapest inn.

"Ah Xi, don't pull me, let me go in and beg the shopkeeper, maybe someone will agree."

"Come on, don't you see that the man is trying to take advantage of you?" Xu Xi glanced at her, "If you order one less dish at noon, how could the two of us fall to such a point?" ”

“…… Ah, I was wrong. ”

Seeing that she began to rub her arm like a cat again, Xu Xi's heart softened a little, "Forget it, just find a place to live overnight today, and make plans tomorrow." ”

The sky gradually darkened, and the two walked on the road step by step, Xu Xi wanted to find a suitable broken temple or something, who would have thought that he had walked so far and still hadn't found it. Slowly, the two of them got farther and farther away from the street, and there were occasionally a few miscellaneous trees around, which made people angry and resentful.

A gust of night wind blew, and Gu Chaoci struck violently, only to see that the surroundings were pitch black, and the grass blades rustled, and he suddenly felt like a bonfire and a fox roaring.

"Ah Xi......" her voice began to tremble a little, "We... Or... Let's go back. ”

Xu Xi was about to laugh at her timidity, but she heard a sudden rustling sound from among the grass, rushing towards the two of them from all directions.
