Chapter Twenty-Eight: Early Morning
When Xia Beifeng returned to the temple again, it was already almost dawn.
The tomb robbers, who had been busy all night, were also very tired, and were lying in the corner, snoring and sleeping.
Xu Tianyang didn't know when he woke up, he was sitting at the door chatting with the girl who came with his uncle, looking in good spirits.
When he heard footsteps, he raised his head alertly, and relaxed again the moment he saw Xia Beifeng, showing an excited smile.
"Brother Xia, I heard that you saved Qu Yue last night, and she told me that she was handsome. I didn't tell me you were so powerful before, but now you suddenly come out like this, and you steal the limelight from me. β
"It's okay, I didn't do anything."
Xia Beifeng touched his nose in embarrassment, and began to wonder if this person was really stupid.
"I don't dare to steal the limelight from you, you won't hold a grudge against this kind of thing."
"Why, I'm just kidding! Oh, by the way, this is my godsister, Xu Tianle, nicknamed Lele. Xu Tianyang stretched out his hand to the girl next to him and introduced with a smile: "My uncle has no children, Lele who was adopted in an orphanage." I don't know what's wrong, so if you don't call your father, you have to call your master, you say it's strange. β
It's weird......
Xia Beifeng felt that his embarrassment began to rise geometrically, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
"How's your uncle?" He glanced at the "Boss Xu" lying inside: "He seems to be quite seriously injured last night, if there are any activities today, can he not participate." And you have to pick someone to take care of him. β
"We don't bother you to worry about our business." Xu Tianle interjected angrily.
"Lele, how do you speak?" Xu Tianyang glanced at his sister complainingly, raised his head and said with a smile: "My uncle's health is fine, such an injury can be healed in one day, and he should be able to act with us in the afternoon." But then again, Brother Xia, you are actually walking with us, I didn't see it at all before. β
"I can see it."
Xia Beifeng smiled at him, walked around the two of them, and walked towards the door.
Xu Tianle rolled his eyes, and when the two of them were staggered, he whispered in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Fake mercy." β
Xia Beifeng raised his eyebrows and ignored her.
"Oh, you can see it, say it early! Just watch me make up a bunch of nonsense stories to lie to you. I'm not good at it, and it's hard to lie and deceive people, you know! β
Xu Tianyang's loud voice came from behind him, echoing in the empty temple.
Qu Yue's head rested on Shen Qingge's lap, her breathing was slow and long, the expression on her face was very calm, and it seemed that her mood had almost recovered.
Shen Qingge sat cross-legged on the "mysterious" stone slab in the corner, with the spear lying horizontally on his lap, his eyes closed and motionless.
Xia Beifeng thought that she was communicating with some "invisible existence" again, but he didn't dare to disturb her. I just found a corner next to her and sat on the ground and put down my backpack.
Shen Qingge opened his eyes violently.
"Where did you go last night, and you actually went back to get your bag by yourself?" Although her voice was not loud, there was anger in her tone that was difficult to hide: "Did I tell you before that you can't walk around the village casually at night!" You're just looking for death on the pole, if something really happens, how can you let me go home and tell your family! β
Xia Beifeng didn't expect her to be so angry, he looked at her in shock, and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
I remember you didn't tell me!
Although I've heard of it.
"Not really." He smiled bitterly: "Is it so serious, I don't ...... with those people"
"It's that serious." Shen Qingge interrupted him and said quickly: "You think you are very powerful, don't you, different from others?" Which one do you have the confidence to deal with if those two guys were handed over to you last night? What about the uncle yesterday at noon? And ......"
"I know, I know, I was wrong!" Xia Beifeng raised his hands, lowered his head and looked at the ground, and said respectfully: "I'm just a scumbag, no one can deal with it, only you are the best, I will hold your thighs and beg you to protect me." β
Shen Qingge's eyes widened, although he was not speaking, he looked angry.
"And I didn't go on my own." As he spoke, he leaned over to her, spread out the palm he had been clenching into a fist, and whispered: "The sparrow took me to step on it, I probably know where Ye Baiyu is now." β
Shen Qingge lowered his head and saw a small, paper-folded bird lying in his palm.
The bird's white body, with a little blood stains on its head, dripped on what should have been its eyes.
She looked at the bird with a complicated expression for a moment before slowly nodding.
"I'll spare you this time, and next time I dare not listen to me, see how I clean you up."
"I don't dare to disobey your old words at any time!" Xia Beifeng arched his hand at her. said solemnly: "You are the ancestor of our family, and we can all respect you." β
When Shen Qingge heard this, his expression softened, he nodded with satisfaction, and closed his eyes again.
"Don't make a noise with me yet, I have something to do for a while, and someone wakes up and calls me."
She dropped such a sentence, and once again fell into the state of "both existing in this world and not existing in this world", and she didn't know what friends she was looking for.
Xia Beifeng didn't dare to quarrel with her anymore, but approached the side of "Boss Xu" - Xu He, and studied his body.
Although the spear in Shen Qing's singer looked shiny and fluttering, like a toy that a little girl used to play with, Xia Beifeng knew the actual situation of that thing very well.
Not to mention anything else, as soon as the gun in the hands of the zombie is grasped, the wounds left behind are more or less yin. Even if it's not deliberate, it should be harder to heal than the wounds caused by ordinary weapons.
But the person in front of him was obviously hanging with a breath last night, and he could go to see Hades at any time. But now, those terrible wounds turned out to be healed. Even a hideous penetrating wound on his shoulder turned into a shallow wound in just a few hours.
It seems that Xu Tianyang is right, according to this recovery speed, he should have recovered in the afternoon.
This is simply unscientific.
He clenched the paper bird in his hand, and his doubts about Xu He deepened again.
The group surnamed Ning sounds like they should have known Xu He recently, and they probably don't know much. Besides, even if they knew something, their group of old fritters were very wary, and they rushed up to inquire for fear that they would not be able to find anything useful.
Although Xu Tianle is a girl, she doesn't seem to have a good impression of me, but hates me very much, and wants to communicate less with her if possible.
As for Xu Tianyang......
Xia Beifeng glanced back at Xu Tianyang, who was sitting at the door.
Xu Tianyang was looking at his sister at this time, waving his hands, with a heartless smile on his face, not knowing what interesting story he was telling.
This guy is simply the most unpredictable, although he looks silly, but he always feels like he is not so simple.
It's a hassle for any of them!
Xia Beifeng touched his chin and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind.
He came to Xu Tianyang's side and sat side by side with the two of them, looking at the clear blue sky outside.
"Brother Xia!" Xu Tianyang nodded at him and said hello: "Why did you come out again, did you eat breakfast?" β
"Eat." Xia Beifeng nodded, took out two egg yolk pies from his pocket, and winked at him secretly: "I guess you must not eat well, take it for you, don't let others see it." β
Xu Tianyang's eyes lit up and took over the egg yolk pie. handed one to Xu Tianle first, then lowered his head and tore open the package, and whispered: "Thank you!" β
Xu Tianle stared down at the thing in his hand for a while, and suddenly snorted coldly.
"I don't want it."
"Oh, you can take it." Xia Beifeng took out his mobile phone and said casually: "I'm such a big person, I won't be angry with children." β
"You're not here for an outing in this kind of place, and you bring snacks, you're really not professional at all!" Xu Tianle said angrily: "You two will definitely die if you go down, believe it or not!" β
"Uh-huh, I believe it." Xia Beifeng slid the phone screen and didn't raise his eyes to look at her: "Anyway, I'll die soon, you just eat quickly, it's not good for them to wake up and see you eating." β
"What the hell are you up to?" Xu Tianle still looked at him with distrust, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't look at your phone, I'm talking to you!" Such an adult still doesn't know how to be polite! When you talk to someone, you have to look into the person's eyes, so that you can appear respectful, you know! β
"Lele!" Xu Tianyang glanced at her sternly and said in a low voice: "How can you talk to others!" Apologize to Brother Xia! β
Xu Tianle snorted again, turned his head, and silently refused the order to "apologize".
"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, who knows what the hell he has to do."
Xia Beifeng lowered his head and said indifferently: "What can I think of you, I know your brother before I brought you something to eat, you don't eat it." β
He seemed to have seen something funny on his mobile phone, and he laughed quietly a few times in the middle of his speech before continuing: "The little girl's family likes to think about it, do you have anything worth my bad idea?" β
Xu Tianle only felt that he was almost angry to death by his words.
She turned her head angrily and glared at Xia Beifeng for a while. found that the other party really didn't take her seriously at all, just looked at the phone intently, and showed a smile from time to time.
Xu Tianyang finished eating the egg yolk pie in a few bites, and also leaned over to look at his mobile phone screen with Xia Beifeng.
"Poofha, why is this dog so stupid!"
Xu Tianyang only glanced at it, and then laughed loudly.
Xia Beifeng leaned his phone a little towards him and asked him to see enough.
Xu Tianle looked at the two men who treated her as air in a daze, angrily tore open the packaging of the egg yolk pie, and bit it down hard.
Two bastards!
It's all bastards!
So is my brother, and so is that bastard!
I'm angry, don't you see, why don't you come and coax me, look at the dog!
These men are all bastards!
She bit the egg yolk pie one by one, grinding her teeth while eating, not knowing who she thought of what was in her mouth, and vented her anger vigorously.
Xia Beifeng flipped through the GIF stored in his mobile phone to Xu Tianyang, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"So you're going to use roundabout tactics to coax other little girls again? What is your trick called, trying to get away with it? β
When Shen Qingge said this, he was eating a bag of beef jerky with Qu Yue, and said to Xia Beifeng without raising his head.
"I said you're too confident in yourself, not all little girls fall in love with you so easily. Are you sure that wild girl is really eating you? β
She squinted her eyes and glanced at the group of people gathered around Xu He, and her eyes stayed on Xu Tianyang and Xu Tianle's brother and sister for a while.
"And the little girl was raised by Xu He, no matter how you think about it, you can't sell her father because of a wild man like you who has just known her for less than a day."
"I just want to get acquainted with her, just clichΓ©s. She's still a little girl, where do you want to go? β
And the character is still so troublesome.
"I don't think you need to go through the trouble. Isn't her brother quite lacking in heart, and he is quite familiar with you, so you just go to his words, why do you have to go so hard to coax that little girl. β
"Oh, I see, you don't like Xu Tianle."
"I didn't, I just thought your behavior was just too much."
"Well, I see, you don't like her so much that you don't want me to have anything to do with her."
"Shut up!"
Shen Qingge angrily stuffed a beef jerky into his mouth, pointed at Xia Beifeng and said to Qu Yue: "Look at this man, is he too bastard." β
Qu Yue didn't pay attention to what they were talking about before, and when she heard Shen Qingge suddenly ask her, she was startled at first, and then began to nod without thinking about it.
"Well, yes, you're right."
"I said little sister Qu Yue, I saved you once yesterday. Just work hard for a while, without such ungratefulness. β
"Huh? What the? Qu Yue looked at him in confusion, and tears quickly filled up in her eyes: "What were you talking about just now?" Am I saying something wrong? Don't be angry! β
Xia Beifeng: "......"
Why is this girl so daring, do you really want to take her with you for a while?
He sighed and shook his head softly at her.
"It's okay, I'm kidding, don't take it personally...... Don't cry, I'm not angry at all, really, I swear! β
He calmed Qu Yue's emotions and turned his head to look at Shen Qingge.
"Seriously, what do you think is going on with Xu He."
As he spoke, he pointed back at the group of people behind him, and sighed: "Such a serious injury, it will be healed in a few hours, is this still human?" β
"Not anymore, at least not entirely." Shen Qingge squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully, "But I really can't see what it is...... Hey, if only Xiao Tian was here. β
"If Xiao Tian was here, he wouldn't have so many ghost things, but he was specialized in ghosts and gods." Xia Beifeng smiled bitterly, picked up the beef jerky wrappers that the two girls threw on the ground, and walked towards the door: "Alas, don't think about it so much first, let it be." Anyway, the sky is falling, and there are masters like you and Ye Baiyu on top. β
I'm afraid that it's not the sky falling, but the ground is sinking, and it's terrible to bury us all in it.
He threw the garbage outside the door and turned around to greet Xu He, who was sitting in front of the offering table.
"Boss Xu, wake up, how do you feel?"
With an apologetic smile on his face, he arched his hand to Xu He very solemnly: "Yesterday there was a reason, my sister was a little heavier, please Boss Xu must not take it to heart!" β
"It's okay, it's okay! Don't look at my age, my body is still strong, this little injury will be fine in a day. Xu He stretched out his hand and waved away a few people around him, shook his arm a few times while holding his shoulder, and said with a smile at Xia Beifeng: "Brother Shen, you are, but don't take this matter to heart." I've heard about everything yesterday.,Your sister also made such a heavy hand yesterday to save me.,It's too late for me to thank her.,How can you be angry.γ β
You...... This is not the degree of the body's hard bones, it is almost the same as going straight to the realm of physical sanctification.
I thought so in my heart, but I still had to say the scene. Xia Beifeng looked at Xu He, who was helped up by Xu Tianyang and Xu Tianle, and showed an expression like Meng Dahe.
"It's good that Boss Xu isn't angry, I didn't sleep well last night because I was worried about this."
He paused and continued: "I have one more thing to tell you, I can't do Shen, my surname is Xia. β
"Uh-oh." Xu He suddenly realized: "I said that my child why does your child call you Brother Xia, so that's the case!" I thought your uncle was Shen Sanye, and you also followed his surname Shen. It's my preconceived notions, little brother, don't be surprised! β
Xia Beifeng smiled and shook his head, sideways to get out of the way for him.
"Boss Xu, where do you want to go?"
"Get out and take a breath." Xu He said and walked out of the temple gate, looked at the sky, took a deep breath, turned around and shouted at a few people behind him: "We will go down to find the coffin of the ghost king in a while!" Emptied his hometown, see how he still comes out every night with his group of imps to scare people! β
"Oh?" Xia Beifeng raised his eyebrows, leaned against the door, and asked curiously, "So you know how to go down." β
Xu He nodded, continued to look up at the sky with his neck tilted, and pointed back at the people he had brought.
"Four floor tiles in the four corners of the house, go to a few people, and press them down at the same time."
Several people in the room immediately went about their work as he said.
Xia Beifeng and Shen Qingge glanced at each other from a distance, and nodded in agreement.
Xu He looked at the sky without blinking, and sighed quietly.
"The weather is so nice, I don't know how long it's been since I've seen such a blue sky."
