Qiao Qiaoniang poured Xiu Ming a cup of tea and let him sit down on a chair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Xiu Ming looked at Qiao Qiao stupidly, and then looked at Qiao Qiao Niang, I didn't know what to say.

Qiao Qiao Niang smiled faintly: "It was your master who told you about Qiao Qiao, right?" Xiu Ming nodded.

"You can be regarded as partners who have grown up together since childhood, talk about it, say goodbye, it will be time to leave in a few days, this is 。。。。。。" Qiao Qiaoniang couldn't say any more, and turned around and went upstairs. left Xiu Ming and Qiaoqiao behind. Neither of them spoke, and the room was silent. Qiaoqiao lowered her head, and tears fell on the flower bandage in her hand one by one. Xiu Ming suddenly remembered the black blood beads he had carried, took them off his neck, and handed them to Qiaoqiao: "You have a lot of poisonous insects and poisons there, if you are accidentally poisoned, just put this in your mouth, and you can detoxify." Qiaoqiao raised her teary eyes, glanced at Xiu Ming, and didn't answer: "My mother has a lot of ways to detoxify, don't use this." You keep it. Xiu Ming held the beads, not knowing what to say next. Qiaoqiao stood up, took the beads, and stood on tiptoe to bring them for Xiuming. Barely squeezed out a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, you've grown so tall." ”

It was the first time for Xiu Ming to be so close to Qiaoqiao, and he could clearly smell the faint aroma on Qiaoqiao's body. His heart was beating a little fast, and he suddenly had an urge to hold Qiaoqiao in his arms and never let go.

Qiaoqiao took the beads for Xiuming, took two steps back, turned around and took out a small, exquisitely made sachet from a small drawer next to him, handed it to Xiuming, lowered his head and said, "This is what I did, for you." Xiu Ming took it and pinched it in his hand, it was soft and fragrant, and the fragrance on Qiaoqiao's body was the same. I couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and I almost burst into tears. But after all, it's a male baby. He gritted his teeth, held back, put the sachet in his personal pocket, and said to Qiaoqiao: "If someone bullies you, come back and tell me and the master, my master is very powerful, and will help you beat him!" Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly again and nodded vigorously.

At this time, Qiao Qiaoniang came down from upstairs, and Xiu Ming didn't want to stay long, so she had to leave. Qiao Qiaoniang sent him to the door and whispered: "Thank you Master Zhang for me, he has thought of a lot of ways for us, although it doesn't work, but this is our life." You masters and apprentices are all good people, and we are grateful in our hearts! ”

Xiu Ming nodded, and said goodbye to Qiaoqiao and his wife. Walked aimlessly out of town. He didn't know where he was going, he just felt like he was about to explode. Holding the sachet that Qiaoqiao gave him in his hand, his heart felt empty. This kind of juvenile feelings, he didn't understand until many years later, it turned out that this was the first love, the most beautiful first love.

Before I knew it, I walked out of town and came to the foot of the mountain. He felt a little tired and found a rock and sat down. At this time, a funeral procession came in the distance, all dressed in white and filial piety, carrying several coffins and walking towards this side.

Xiu Ming was in a very bad mood, immersed in Qiaoqiao's tragic fate and couldn't extricate himself. But the earth-shattering suona made him unable to be at peace. A cultivator has a natural reverence for the soul, so the master taught him to stop on the side of the road, stand with his head bowed, and wait for others to pass before leaving, which also shows a kind of respect for the deceased.

But today's funeral procession is very strange, generally the funeral procession is carrying a coffin, and it is rare to see two people die at the same time. But today, this team actually carried five coffins from beginning to end, no wonder the momentum was so big! Five people went out at the same time, which had never been seen except in the year of the plague. However, when the plague broke out, most of the people died and went to the ground as soon as possible, and no one was in the mood to do such a big job.

Although he was in a bad mood, the sensitivity of the cultivator still made him feel that this was unusual. Whether it's sick or injured, it's not normal for five people to die at the same time.

Just as Xiu Ming was thinking, the team had already passed by him and went into the distance. He subconsciously followed, wanting to see what was going on. The funeral procession was very long, and there were many people who did not wear filial piety clothes behind, and Xiuming was mixed among these people. A teenager and a half-grown child, who didn't pay much attention to him, followed him for about three or five miles, and came to a cemetery where he stopped.

Just as a few people were digging a pit to bury the coffin, Xiu Ming noticed a strange thing: there was a noise in one of the small coffins, and when you got closer, it seemed to be a faint moan. Xiu Ming was frightened, and all the sadness and sadness just now were scared out of the Nine Heavens Cloud. Will you moan that you are not dead, and if you are not dead, you will put it in a coffin and plan to bury it alive? It's such a terrible thing. For a while, Xiu Ming didn't know what to do. Step forward to stop it? I'm alone, not even an adult. It won't be useful to think about it on your toes. Sitting idly by? Don't say that you are a cultivator, even ordinary people can't see death without help, right? Xiu Ming really made a difficulty. Since following the master, everything has been decided by the master and supported by the master. When have you ever faced such a serious thing alone? But now that the master is gone, there is no way to ask for help, and the matter of saving people is imminent, what should I do? He was anxious like an ant on a hot pan. I just can't think of a way.

At this moment, there was a very terrible cry from the small coffin that made the sound just now, which was completely different from the moan just now, it was simply, not like a human voice!

Xiu Ming was even more confused: Could it be that the coffin was not filled with people? Is it an animal? But there's no reason for even animals to be buried alive, right? Five coffins, are they all animals? Then why is there no sound in the other four? Just when Xiu Ming was puzzled, with the terrible howl in the coffin, there was a sudden rustling sound in the woods around the cemetery. Immediately afterward, countless cats rushed out of the woods, all of different sizes and colors of their fur. One by one, they howled and went straight to the coffin where the sound came. Looking at the hundreds of cats that suddenly appeared, the funeral people were frightened silly. If someone tries to stop the cats, the cats will mercilessly reach out their claws and attack the person, almost insanely. Under the impact of the cat, the funeral crowd scattered and fled, and after a while, they all ran away without a trace. The cats didn't chase after them, but just gathered around the coffin just now, scratching desperately with their claws, as if to save the contents of the coffin.

Xiu Ming did not escape. Having seen too many demons and monsters, he wouldn't be intimidated by these cats. He stood aside, watched the cats' movements, walked over without thinking, and said to the cats, "I'll come!" ”
