Chapter 267: The Left Half Mask

"This son, do you like masks, this is the last one of the day, if you want to buy it, I will sell it to you cheaply. ”

When Zhou Xingzhi was looking up and sighing that this was different from the scenery she had seen before, a flattering word came from her ear.

“...... Huh?"

Zhou Xingzhi was taken aback, to be exact, the voice came from behind her.

Surprised, she hurriedly stepped aside, the sound so abrupt that she felt slightly startled.

Her thoughts were completely pulled back, and only then did she see a man in a black cloak in his forties, standing beside her, in the light of the lantern and the faint light of the sky.

His back was slightly bent, and Zhou Xingzhi relied entirely on the other party's voice to distinguish his age and gender.

He held a wooden stick with bamboo poles tied to it, half an arm apart, and if you counted them, you could see four bamboo poles with small holes in them, and a mask hanging in the center.

The stick was pitch black, and if there was no light, it would have made people think that the man had nothing in his hand.

The wooden stick that landed on the ground was quietly held in the man's hand, and he stood motionless in place, like a victorious general!

In fact, the mask is not a complete mask, only half of the face, the left half of the face.

If you wear it, it will only cover the left side of your face, there is nothing on the mask, it is pure white, and it is not a pleasant color when the candle flame jumps.

"W-That...... I don't need to. ”

After Zhou Xing retreated and stood still, he went to look at the half of the mask, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't like it.

It was indeed terrifying, and the mask was still hanging in the center and swaying with the slight night breeze.

"Thank you. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid of provoking someone who shouldn't be provoked, Zhou Xingzhi said casually, and at the same time raised his heart, and began to observe around as he spoke, preparing to leave.

"It's just a small business, it won't deceive you, if you like it, then ......"

"Zhou Xingzhi, why are you here?!"

Before the man finished speaking, a sudden voice interrupted his words directly, and he looked very rude.

Seeing that the business was about to be lost, this man was naturally unhappy, so he turned around to see which person was so rude, but before he could start a fire, as soon as he saw the other party's appearance, he quickly lowered his head.

Very humble, and dare not say more.

Zhou Xingzhi didn't care about the change in this person's attitude, but was curious about the familiarity of the voice, and when she looked back, the first thing she saw was the standard lake blue metasequoia.

The person who came was not someone else, but Si Yanmu who Zhou Xingzhi wanted to get rid of far away!

She never thought she would meet him here.

"That, that...... That you ?......."

Suddenly I saw him.

Zhou Xingzhi's words became stammering.

Si Yanmu didn't care about the businessman who sold masks, but walked directly to Zhou Xingzhi's side, and then said coldly: "Just passing by." ”

Zhou Xingzhi was surprised, he didn't know what to say, he felt a little embarrassed, but Si Yanmu didn't feel it, and asked again: "Why are you here?"

"Eh, the ......"

Zhou Xingzhi couldn't find a suitable reason, and she didn't say goodbye to Si Yanmu, so she couldn't say goodbye.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"What's so strange, I'm asking you. ”

Si Yanmu's words were still so faint, and he seemed to be a little impatient.

"Oh, I'm walking around, the Imperial Beast Sect has been quite big recently, I'm curious, so I'm here. ”

Zhou Xingzhi didn't tell the truth directly, and found the most suitable excuse.

Si Yanmu didn't have the slightest suspicion, looked around, and then asked again, "Didn't it follow?"

After a pause, Zhou Xingzhi naturally knew the meaning of Si Yanmu's words, so she replied: "It's in the inn, it's not convenient to take it out." ”

Zhou Xingzhi knew that the "it" in Si Yanmu's words referred to Didiu, after the Ma Yi incident, they talked together, and Si Yanmu also mentioned Didiu slightly, but he didn't say much to Zhou Xingzhi.

Just to tell her to pay attention to the loss.

Zhou Xingzhi remembers this incident very clearly.

"That'...... Well, didn't Xiao Ye come with you?"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Zhou Xingzhi looked for a question, and she was ready to take this opportunity to leave while speaking.

If you don't leave, I'm afraid that the mask seller will start nagging and selling again.

"An idiot would like such a strange mask. ”

Zhou Xingzhi thought so in her heart at this time, she wanted to turn around, but in the afterglow, she saw that Si Yanmu was still standing in place, she was curious, and when Zhou Xingzhi looked at it seriously, she was speechless for a while.

I saw that Si Yanmu, who was so cold that he didn't care about anything, was in a daze at the mask that Zhou Xingzhi looked down on, as if he liked it very much.

"Hey--"

Zhou Xingzhi was very helpless, it was the first time she had seen Si Yanmu like this, and she naturally knew what he was thinking.

After a pause, she went to Si Yanmu's side, helplessly supported her forehead, put her hand down or saw that Si Yanmu's eyes did not move, so she asked.

"Xiao Mu, you don't like this mask, do you?"

"Like?"

Si Yanmu had a confused tone, although he was answering Zhou Xingzhi's question, he still didn't turn his gaze back to Zhou Xingzhi.

The general tone of inquiry, like a childlike rhetorical question, Zhou Xingzhi felt so strange, but the next moment, he saw Si Yanmu really tilting his head like a child, and after thinking about it, he asked.

"What's like?"

"Huh?"

Now Zhou Xingzhi is curious.

It was the first time she had seen Si Yanmu like this, an ignorant child's appearance, completely different from the Si Yanmu she had seen before.

It's literally two people.

But look carefully, look at it carefully, the person in front of her is really Si Yanmu, that face, that face that makes Zhou Xingzhi feel extremely cute, she will not admit it.

Perhaps hearing the questioning tone in Zhou Xingzhi's words, Si Yanmu moved his gaze to the half of the mask again, as if he was defending himself, his tone was slight, and he asked again slowly.

"I don't know what I like. ”

Questioning, indeed affirmative, as if the person on the other side really didn't know anything.

"I don't know ......"

Zhou Xingzhi almost repeated Si Yanmu's words, but she was stunned before she could finish repeating the words.

Even she knows what liking is, and this kind of person who is as powerful as Si Yanmu doesn't even know what liking is?

Either way, she wouldn't believe it.

But now Si Yanmu's appearance doesn't look like a lie at all, just like a child who looks at the candy he likes but can't get it, and never wants to leave.

"Little ...... Kids?"

Zhou Xing's heart was so thoughtful, and suddenly remembered what she looked like when she was a child, which was the same as Si Yanmu now, and suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

So she paused, and then asked in a slight tone, "Xiao Mu, do you want this mask?"

"Hmm. ”

The child-like response, so direct and bright, directly said what was in mind at this time.

Zhou Xingzhi was even more sudden, this was the first time she had seen Si Yanmu like this, and it was also the first time she had seen a person so simple.

Now Si Yanmu is like a child, a simple white face.
