Su Yang waved his hand on the fork in the road at the entrance of the village, and when he saw the two of them want to walk in the distant mountains, he turned around and went back.

Xia Beifeng followed behind Ye Baiyu, and the two walked leisurely for a while, one after the other, Xia Beifeng suddenly said: "Master, why didn't I hear you say that we have to go into the mountain tonight, I didn't sleep last night!" ”

"Before I became a teacher, I didn't know that I was going to enter the mountain tonight...... It's not because we made an appointment with someone to meet but the person didn't come, so we can only go in person. ”

"What kind of person, with such a big face, I want you to go and see him in person." Xia Beifeng frowned and asked, "Can't we go tomorrow?" ”

"Hey, I can't calm down if I can't see him......" Ye Baiyu raised a hand and stroked his chest, and said with great emotion: "As the saying goes, I don't have an appointment to come halfway through the night......"

"I'm sorry, Master, it's only half past six in the afternoon."

Ye Baiyu stopped abruptly and turned his head to stare at Xia Beifeng's face.

"Xiaobei! Can't you just shut up and listen? ”

Xia Beifeng nodded solemnly.

"I see, Master, please continue."

Ye Baiyu turned his head, looked up at the sky, and sighed deeply.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood."

With that, he put his hands behind his back and continued to walk towards the mountains ahead.

Xia Beifeng immediately followed.

The two of them continued to walk wordlessly for a while, and Xia Beifeng said again: "Master, let's make a bet." ”

"Bet on what?" Ye Baiyu said without replying.

"Bet on what that thing is that thing that has been following us since the entrance of the village...... I bet it's a fox fairy. ”

"It's better to be a mother, right, go back and talk to people for a while......" Ye Baiyu glanced at Xia Beifeng behind him slightly sideways, and then continued: "Then I'll guess it's one of the family surnamed He...... What is the stake? ”

"Ten bucks! Couldn't be more. ”

Ye Baiyu nodded, indicating that he had no opinion.

After they came out of the entrance of the village, the thing hung behind them for the distance they had advanced, and followed not far or close, keeping the distance between the two sides at a delicate distance.

If it goes any further, it can almost tell what it is by feeling. If it takes a step back, then Xia Beifeng probably won't be able to spot it following behind.

"That's a thief." Xia Beifeng chuckled lightly and asked Ye Baiyu, "Find something to see?" ”

Ye Baiyu said "um", raised his hand and threw out a piece of white paper from his sleeve.

The white paper fluttered down in the sky, but when it fell halfway, it made a "bang" sound, turned into a white eagle with spread wings, circled twice in the sky, and flew behind the two.

"Hey, the little beauty has been beautiful again recently." Xia Beifeng looked at the direction where the white eagle was going, and sighed loudly.

The white eagle paused before continuing to fly forward.

Ye Baiyu secretly rolled his eyes and ignored him.

He took out two earphone cables from his robe, plugged his ears, and quickened his steps.

Xia Beifeng waved at the white eagle, and only trotted a few steps to keep up with Ye Baiyu's ears.

Ye Baiyu had just lent the wooden sword he had been carrying in his hand to the forensic doctor Su Yangsu, who was "afraid that he would walk alone at night and worry that he would hit a ghost". At this moment, he carried a stick-like object more than a meter long wrapped in thick linen cloth on his back.

The bun on his head didn't know when it was undone, and his long hair was tied at random at the back of his head, and the tips of the hair hung down to the back, swaying gently with his movements.

He walked in front without saying a word, and he didn't look like a Taoist priest from behind, but like a lone knight who walked the world with a sword and a single dog for life in martial arts novels.

Xia Beifeng, who was following behind, looked at him like this, and felt a little bit in his heart.

He vaguely remembered that the thing Ye Baiyu was carrying should be a controlled knife with an open blade - he couldn't remember whether it was a sword or a knife, because the number of times this thing was taken out could be counted with one hand.

It seems that this thing is really difficult to deal with.

Xia Beifeng followed Ye Baiyu up the mountain while secretly thinking in his heart.

Ye Baiyu has a lot of times when he pretends to be crazy and stupid on weekdays, but when he is really serious, he can be reliable. It's just that his current state is not good, although his weapon is a good thing, but it is not known how many means the other party has.

If Ye Baiyu really can't hold on, I'm afraid that he will have to go on top of it himself and find a way to drag him away.

The key is that Ye Baiyu likes to brace hard when he encounters problems, no matter what situation he encounters, he always puts on a comfortable appearance. Unless he is really not far from death and is delirious, otherwise others will not be able to see any difference.

When fighting, I still like to admit death, I have to fight to the death, and I have never had the concept of strategic retreat in my mind. If you are really beaten by the other party to the point that you lose your ability to fight, you can still lie on the ground and have a good time, which is very troublesome.

If something happens, you'll have to drag him back like a dead dog!

Xia Beifeng also looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and sighed.

Before they knew it, the two of them had walked halfway up the mountain, and the white eagle that had just been released had never returned. The longer the time, the more serious Ye Baiyu's face became.

It wasn't until Xia Beifeng began to think about whether to ask a question that Ye Baiyu suddenly stretched his brows and smiled contemptuously.

"That thing ran away." Ye Baiyu suddenly said this without a head or a tail.

Xia Beifeng originally lowered his head and thought about his own affairs, but he didn't react for a while when he heard his words, and subconsciously asked, "What is it?" ”

"The one who followed us...... The sparrow took a look at it, and ran away before it could get any near it. ”

Xia Beifeng realized that at some point, the feeling of being watched all the time behind them had long since disappeared.

He looked around for a while, then looked at Ye Baiyu and said, "It seems that something is not quite right in this mountain. Ever since I walked into the mountains, I felt very dull. ”

"Someone doesn't want to see us!" Ye Baiyu stopped, stood in front of a tree, turned his head to Xia Beifeng and said, "So be careful when you turn around." ”

After saying this, he smiled at the tree in front of him and reached out to touch the trunk of the tree.

Xia Beifeng raised his eyebrows and swallowed the question of "what to be careful of". I found a place to sit down and lit a cigarette.

"Since he doesn't want to see us, then I shouldn't have a problem throwing cigarette butts, even if it's on fire."

Ye Baiyu didn't speak, obviously acquiescing to Xia Beifeng's bad behavior of not paying attention to civic morality. He closed his eyes and seemed to be listening intently.

There was a small sound of shredding in the canopy above the two of them. It seemed that some bird had scurried through the dense bushes, disturbing the leaves of the tree.

A few leaves with yellowish edges fell slowly with the sound, and one of them landed on the shoulders of the summer north wind.

Xia Beifeng turned his head and pinched the leaves on his shoulders.

The leaves were not the same as the few leaves that fell from the tree, they were a fiery red maple leaf.

The maple leaves are very transparent, the shape is also weekly, the veins are clear, clean and complete, and there is not even a small wormhole. People can't help but like it when they see it.

Xia Beifeng looked at it for a while, and put the maple leaf into his close-fitting pocket.

"There's a good thing that has no owner falling from the sky, and it's just cheaper, so I'll take it back as a bookmark."

After Xia Beifeng said this, he heard a clear laughter coming from above his head, which sounded like a teenage girl.

By this time it was almost dark. Today is cloudy again, although it is autumn, but the leaves in this mountain forest have not yet begun to fall in large areas, and some of the light is blocked, making the forest more and more dark and deep.

But the laughter was like a ray of spring light, with a little warm feeling, which gave people the illusion that the forest was lit up in an instant.

Xia Beifeng raised his head.

He saw a pair of bare feet, two white calves swinging above his head, and a thin silver chain on the ankle of his right leg, which was flashing with a subtle but bright light.

A little further up is a white chiffon skirt that covers half of the calf.

A girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting on a thin branch directly above the summer north wind. She wore a plain white sundress that exposed her slender collarbones, bare shoulders and arms, and a silver chain about the same size as her ankle on her left wrist. Shaking a pair of calves, he looked down at Xia Beifeng with a smile.

The girl looked young, but she was a complete beauty, and her eyes were a light amber color, like a transparent bead. Her long light chestnut hair hangs down her chest with curls, and her facial features are delicate like some kind of expensive doll. The skin exposed in the air and its whiteness almost blended with the skirt on his body.

The branch she was sitting on was only a finger thick, and it stands to reason that a person sitting on it should have been crushed a long time ago, but the branch was not only fine, but not even bent at all.

"Xiaobei, what are you looking at!" The girl scolded Xia Beifeng loudly, her eyes still full of smiles.

This girl's dress was already inappropriate, and she appeared in this uninhabited woods like this, so it stands to reason that she should be a ghost or something. But there is no unsettling and frightening aura on her, but it makes people feel very kind at a glance.

"I didn't see it." When Xia Beifeng heard her words, he immediately lowered his head and looked at his watch pretending to identify the time. His eyes narrowed into two crooked crescents, and he didn't know where to go.

"You can't see it!" As she spoke, the girl stretched out her leg to kick him, but she shouted unrelentingly, "Don't think about it!" ”

"I didn't think about it either!" Xia Beifeng said and wanted to raise his head again to defend himself, but saw the girl's feet stepping directly on his face, and immediately stretched out his hand to cover his face, "Auntie, let's discuss, don't you slap your face?" ”

"No way!"

The girl jumped down from the tree as she spoke.

Seeing this, Xia Beifeng had no choice but to reach out to pick her up.

She stepped directly on Xia Beifeng's palm with two feet, and stood there looking at him condescendingly.

Xia Beifeng was holding a person in his hand, but he didn't feel a little weight in his hand, as if the girl was a piece of paper.

A light breeze blew, blowing her white gauze skirt forward. She immediately pressed the hem of her skirt and raised her leg and kicked Xia Beifeng's shoulder.

"I really didn't see it this time...... Xia Beifeng tilted his head and looked at his shoulder, and complained in a low voice: "You light, my shoulder was just injured some time ago." ”

"Ah, Xiaobei, where are you hurt, let me see!" The girl jumped directly to the ground as she spoke, reaching out to pick up Xia Beifeng's clothes.

Xia Beifeng immediately covered his collar and took two steps back.

"It's almost good, you don't have to look at it anymore."

The girl pursed her mouth in disappointment, turned around to look at Ye Baiyu, who was standing by the tree with her eyes closed and didn't know what to think, and complained aggrievedly: "Ah Yu, you see Xiaobei lied to me again." ”

"Isn't it normal for him to lie to you, you still believe it after so many years, this is what shocked me." Ye Baiyu put down his hand from the tree as he spoke, looked back at the girl, and said to her bitterly: "I have followed your wise master for so many years, and I am still so easy to be deceived, has your IQ grown!" ”

The girl glared when she heard this, stretched out her two arms and waved them twice in the air, and jumped upward, turning her whole person into a white eagle. flew towards Ye Baiyu's head.

Ye Baiyu waved his hand, slapped the white eagle aside, and walked towards Xia Beifeng.

"I'm going to find that guy myself, just wait here." As he spoke, he lowered his head and took out something bigger than a brick from the sleeve of his robe and threw it to Xia Beifeng, "There have always been people before, and this thing is not easy to take out." I'll lend it to you for self-defense, and remember to give it back to me later. ”

Xia Beifeng checked the weight of the tightly sealed box in his hand, and looked up at Ye Baiyu suspiciously.

"This thing...... It's against the rules, how did you get it? ”

"Shhhh......h ”

Xia Beifeng nodded, looked at the things in his hand, and smiled.

The look in his eyes seemed to miss something.

After a while, he raised his head to Ye Baiyu again and asked, "Master, don't you always say that anything is not as obedient as the knife in your hand, why did you change your faith?" ”

"How is that possible! That's the only thing I'll never change!" Ye Baiyu looked at Xia Beifeng's face and retorted excitedly, and then explained: "Didn't I see that you were too pitiful, so I took it to you to touch it twice!" ”

"Then thank you, Master!" Xia Beifeng stood up as he spoke, bowed solemnly to Ye Baiyu, and said with great emotion: "Seriously, I rarely see you look like a master so much. ”

"Can you say something that you can listen to?" Ye Baiyu scolded with a smile.

Although he said this in a stern tone, he glanced at Xia Beifeng with a smile in his eyes. Then he turned his head to the direction of the black canopy above his head and asked, "I'm going to find someone to talk to, talk about life, do you want to come together." ”

"Don't. I'm here to play with Xiaobei. The girl's wandering voice came from somewhere in the canopy, so far and yet so close that one could not tell where she was.

"It's okay, Xiaobei, you can play with the sparrows here." Ye Baiyu said that he put his hands behind his back, raised his legs and walked in one direction, and waved his hand a few times behind him as he walked, and said, "I'm leaving!" You two can run around, and don't fight! ”

Master, how old do you think I am this year, and you're afraid that I'll fight with her!

Xia Beifeng looked at Ye Baiyu's back gradually disappearing into the night, let out a soft "tsk", raised his head and shouted upwards: "I said, Miss Sparrow, come down, I'll play with you." ”

"You apologize first." The girl named Sparrow stretched out a hand from the leaves, her index finger pointed at Xia Beifeng's eyebrows, and said slowly, "Apologize for what you just lied to me." ”

Xia Beifeng said sorry in a kind way, and bowed his head to the arm in front of him very sincerely.

The sparrow immediately jumped down from the tree with a smile and sat on his knees beside Xia Beifeng, blinking at him.

Xia Beifeng also sat down against the trunk of the tree and lit a cigarette.

There are no stars in the sky.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and just sat side by side in the night, each thinking about his own thoughts.

The quiet night breeze brushed the ends of the sparrow's hair and brought it to the arms of the summer north wind.

Xia Beifeng looked down at the strand of curly hair hanging on his arm and smiled.

Anyway, it's a good thing to have a little girl around.

What's more, this little girl is so good-looking.

It doesn't matter if this little girl is a real little girl or an old monster who looks like a little girl.

It's much better than having a big man around you.

Thinking so, he raised his hand and touched the top of the sparrow's head, and when he saw the sparrow looking back at him, he smiled and asked, "I heard some gossip about my master some time ago, are you interested?" ”

"Ah Yu, what gossip can he have!" Sparrow tilted his head and looked at Xia Beifeng suspiciously, "Do you want to say that after his wife died, he didn't have a ...... for more than a hundred years?" Oh no...... Is it a matter of more than 100 years of pure heart and few desires for self-cultivation? ”

"And this?" Xia Beifeng looked at the sparrow in surprise, stunned for a moment, and then asked: "So I really have a teacher, I thought he was born to be such a ghostly monster!" What does my sister look like? ”

No wonder Master, your old mana's profound magic power and ghosts and gods give way, so that's what happened!

Xia Beifeng suddenly realized.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either." Sparrow hugged his legs, rested his chin on his knees, and said depressedly: "But Ah Yu should indeed be a lover, I heard that he used to be a very serious person who took care of his family, and he became like this after the death of his wife...... What do you think...... Can't you imagine what it would be like when he was serious about taking care of his family? ”

Xia Beifeng nodded sympathetically.

"I can't imagine it." Sparrow told Xia Beifeng seriously, "Ah Yu, he is a demon king of the mixed world, that is, he is good to his wife, and he has no other advantages." ”

Xia Beifeng continued to nod, he couldn't think of any opinion other than approval.

"Ah, but...... I met a female ghost with a child some time ago......" Xia Beifeng took a puff of cigarette, sorted out his language for a while, and then continued: "The female ghost said that his child was Ye Baiyu's, and also said that their love died and came back to life, but it's a pity...... Hate not to meet when you are not married. ”

"She's lying to you, and it's so outrageous, there's nothing at all." Sparrow said with great certainty: "It is impossible for Ah Yu to do such a thing. ”

"I think so too." Xia Beifeng replied, then raised his head to look at the leaves above his head, and began to be in a daze.

This is no longer self-deception...... I guess it's called self-deception.

After the woman died, she insisted that her children were living with the people she loved, what was it for?

What was she thinking when she said this?

If life is only as it is at first sight, then if there are mistakes everywhere after the first sight, why do you have to be so persistent?

It's obviously a story that has nothing to do with him, but the viewer treats himself as a play...... Maybe it's just because the first sight was too memorable.

Xia Beifeng raised a hand, blocking the smoke in front of him, and sighed silently.

"Ah, I know who you're talking about!" The sparrow suddenly clapped his hands, looked at Xia Beifeng and said, "Is it a family surnamed Jiang...... The little wife and daughter have a birthday on the same day. ”

Xia Beifeng let out a soft "um" and lowered his head to look at the sparrow.

"That man in their family is too much of a thing...... Sparrow looked at Xia Beifeng mysteriously and asked, "Do you want to know how that man died?" ”

"Say what you want." Xia Beifeng replied indifferently.

The sparrow pouted again and lowered its head in frustration.

"However, whether you say it or not, I will play with you." Xia Beifeng touched the sparrow's head with a smile, and said gently: "It's obviously more important to play with you, how upset it is to say how the old man died." ”

When the sparrow heard this, he was happy again, and his eyes immediately crooked with laughter.

She raised her hands and patted them, and when they parted, a white cotton thread appeared in the middle.

"Xiaobei, let's play with the flower rope."

Xia Beifeng looked at the cotton thread and raised his eyebrows slightly.

This aunt and grandmother...... Do you remember how old you are this year?

Now elementary school students don't play with the rope!

You have lived for so many years, is the joy of life still only turning the flower rope?

Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Beifeng still smiled and nodded, and stretched out his little finger to hook the cotton thread between the sparrow's hands.

The two of them sat in the woods and played for a while, Xia Beifeng always patiently played this boring game with the sparrow, but the sparrow was impatient first.

"Ahh Don't play anymore! The sparrow threw the cotton thread in his hand and looked up at the summer north wind, his eyes were shining, full of expectation.

"Xiaobei, can you give me ......" She was suddenly stunned when she said this, turned her head and glanced in the direction behind Xia Beifeng, and stood up vigilantly.

"Someone's coming."

Sparrow whispered.

*************************************************************

This chapter is 6,000 words, and there may be another 3,000 or so in the evening......

It's going to be late, don't wait

I guess it broke out......

And the girl also appeared......
