He said this sentence with a smile and a calm attitude, which made my back chill, and I didn't dare to think about it, and I felt a creep just by listening to these words, wondering if he was just making a terrible joke. Even if his self-healing ability can really reach that level, how can anyone be so cruel to do such a thing, this is a living person.

"Didn't you resist?" I tried to trust him, but my heart pounded and my chest ached.

"I don't have the ability."

"The other party also knows strange arts?"

"Nope." Jiang Xun leaned on the glass and turned his head sideways, and said in a cool voice: "He's just an ordinary person." ”

I frowned, Jiang Xun added a trace of inexplicable casualness to his face, and with a look of memory, he said: "I didn't know how to use my own magic at the beginning, at that time, I was just a monster who could get out of control at any time. He picked me up and took me away from my hometown, and from then on, he stayed with me for many years. ”

"But why did he do that to you?"

"It was a very hard time for everyone at that time." Jiang Xun smiled and said, "He made a lot of money with me. ”

The excitement of the hunt is like the monkeys in the circus and the "monsters" who are forced to deform the exhibition.

"Doesn't it hurt?" I stared blankly, at his composure as if it had nothing to do with me.

"It's just acceptable." Jiang Xun lowered his head and glanced at the Buddha beads in his left hand, those smiles disappeared, and people looked a little lonely, "I have experienced more pain." ”

"And then?" I moved closer, leaning my back against the glass, looking at everything in the room.

"Later, he died of a serious illness, leaving me alone, and I used the money to bury him."

Thick burial.

I couldn't understand his thoughts and asked, "Didn't you think about running away while he was alive?" ”

Jiang Xun paused and said frankly: "I have thought about it." ”

"Why not?"

"Shen Qing." He called me softly, with a hint of tiredness in his tone, and asked, "Do you know what it's like to be lonely for an alien?" ”

I was silent and listened to him, "Alone, with nowhere to go and no branches to rely on." No friends, no family, people are alive, but there is no proof of being alive. ”

He looked sideways, I raised my eyes, looked at each other, the faces of the people in front of me fell into each other's eyes, I saw an ethereal self in his pupils surrounded by blood, and heard him say: "Shen Qing, I have been looking for you." ”

My breathing slowed and my voice trembled, "Why me?" ”

He didn't answer, his fingers touched my hair, and he pinned it behind my ear, as if to see me for real.

When my ears were touched by the cold fingertips, I felt the pores of my whole body shrink, and my whole body was like a bow and arrow that had been pulled full of strings, and when I saw him approaching, my mind buzzed, and I staggered my face to avoid his movements, and pretended to be calm in my heart palpitations, and said to him in a pretended calm tone: "I should go back to sleep, and you should rest early." ”

Jiang Xun's outstretched hand was still not withdrawn, and it froze in the air for a few seconds before slowly falling down.

I fled in a panic, heard him say goodnight softly behind me, his voice was hoarse, he didn't respond to anything, went back to his room, closed the door, and locked it.

Lying in bed that night, I put my hands on my chest, felt my heartbeat in my chest, and as soon as I closed my eyes, my mind was full of the last image of us looking at each other.

There was still a tingling sensation near the left ear, and when I reached out and touched it, my heart beat even harder.

In front of the window, illuminated by the city's streamer, he walked up to me, leaned down, and was a stone's throw away.

I don't know if he wanted to say something to me at that moment, or if he had something else in mind.

The thoughts in my head were a mess with the excessive heartbeat, and I tossed and turned all night, and finally fell asleep, but in the dream it was the same, all his face. I have so much curiosity, so much confusion, so many doubts, and at this moment, there are some more emotions that I can't guess, pressed in the bottom of my heart, and no one can confide in.

We all woke up late in the morning, and if it weren't for Tang Jiao's screaming, I was afraid that we would have slept until noon.

When a few of us hurried out of the room and saw Tang Jiao standing at the door with a stool with a frightened expression, we didn't know what was going on.

He stammered, pointed to the kitchen door, and said, "That's that...... Pool...... Snake...... Shopkeeper Shen, there are snakes! ”

I almost forgot about Liu Ruo, pressed my temples, woke myself up from this damn sleep of the night, sat him down, and slowly explained the whole thing.

Tang Jiao gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Then you can't put it in the kitchen, it scares me to death." ”

"I'll take Liu Ruo back immediately." Qi Xiaowan twisted her fingers at the corners of her clothes, lowered her head, and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”

"Hey, what a big deal." Tang Karan grinned, "Just say no to me, it's okay, sister, brother is not the kind of person who doesn't talk about feelings." ”

Qi Xiaowan pursed the corners of her mouth, nodded and said thank you.

Liu Ruo was still holding my tart whip in his hand, and before he returned to his human form and returned the things to me, I didn't want to take any more risks to let Qi Xiaowan take people away, and said to her: "Your mother is at home, and it is not convenient for you to suddenly bring a snake back, it is better to leave him here first, and we will help you take care of it, and a few of us also know some things in this regard, and it can also help his injuries." Xiaowan, are you willing to believe us? ”

Qi Xiaowan didn't say anything, and after a long time, she nodded slowly and reluctantly.

All morning, I avoided contact with Jiang Xun, and after breakfast, Ziwei and I accompanied Qi Xiaowan back to the house, originally wanting to get rid of the messy rune mess in her house, but after Qi Xiaowan hesitated, she decided to keep the status quo, leaving a only outlet for the resentment in her mother's heart.

I made a protective bag for Qi Xiaowan when the yang energy was at its peak at noon, which could ensure that the yin qi that grew in her home would no longer invade her body, and she would restrain those things a little.

Liu Ruo's injury recovered very slowly, Jiang Xun said that he was a half-immortal body, but he repeatedly embarrassed mortals, and was punished by heaven, and cracks appeared on the inner pill that he cultivated, and his essence leaked out, which damaged a lot of cultivation.

I will feed him some specially treated food every day, hoping that he can recuperate earlier, but this time is half a month later.

At that time, Qi Xiaowan had already returned to school, and one day she came to me and told me that Gao Yang had transferred to another school, and apologized to her before leaving, saying that she didn't really want to bully her, just because Zhou Fang asked him to do that, and he was afraid that if he didn't fit in with them, the person who was ostracized and isolated would be himself.

I couldn't understand why the world of these children had become like this, Qi Xiaowan sat next to me, and after a long time, said to me: "Sister, even so, I don't want to forgive them at all, I still hate them." ”

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Am I also bad?" ”

I put my arm around her shoulders and shook my head, "It's your right to apologize and not forgive." You are the only one who is responsible for those things, no one can force you to forgive anyone, you just have to follow your own feelings and try to live your life well, and that's enough. ”

Qi Xiaowan buried her head deeply, and after a while, she asked me, "Sister, Liu Ruo...... He did those things because of me, and now that Li Kang has no hand, Feng Yue and Zhou Fang haven't woken up yet, I want to know, what will happen to Liu Ruo? ”

I thought about it, told her the truth, and said, "His thousand-year-old cultivation has been damaged, and he has already received his own punishment, and this matter is over." ”

"But Liu Ruo is not a bad person."

"I know, but this is the rule, the six worlds of yin and yang have their own laws and laws, no matter who they are, for any reason, they cannot be crossed."

Qi Xiaowan bit her lip and asked me again, "Then will I be able to see him again in the future?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

"I ...... I was just scared that the matter was over, and my contract with him was over. ”

"Sister." She suddenly looked up at me expectantly, "Isn't he a family fairy?" Is it true that if I keep worshipping him, he can stay forever and continue his practice here? ”

Raising a family immortal is a cost to herself, Qi Xiaowan's body and soul are very fragile, and those who have just passed the life and death barrier are not suitable to deal with things from other worlds at this time, otherwise they will only lose their lifespan and be disadvantageous to themselves.

Before I could say anything, Qi Xiaowan reflected her eager attitude in my silence, afraid that I would find something, so she hurriedly lowered her head and stopped talking.

"Xiaowan." I wasn't quite sure of her emotions and asked, "Why do you want him to stay?" ”

Qi Xiaowan was silent, our conversation was interrupted, I turned around and saw Jiang Xun standing behind me, smiling, looking at me and saying, "What feelings do the two of them have, can't you see it?" ”

But......

"Liu Ruo!" Qi Xiaowan stood up suddenly, and when she saw the person coming out of Jiang Xun's room, she immediately ran over, standing in front of him and looking at his body excitedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Liu Ruo seemed to be fine, seeing Qi Xiaowan showed a smile, after she approached, his right hand covered the top of her head, rubbed her hair dotingly, raised his eyes to look at me and Jiang Xun, and bowed and said: "Thanks to the help of my benefactor these days, I was able to regain my human form. ”

Qi Xiaowan also turned around and bowed to us, and kept saying thank you.

Liu Ruo took out the tart demon whip that he had taken away before, put his hands in front of me, and said, "I'm sorry for what happened before. ”

I took it and checked it, and when I saw that there was nothing unusual, I also calmed down, looking at the two of them, I still couldn't help but ask Liu Ruo: "What are your plans in the future?" Do you really want to stay with her? ”

Qi Xiaowan reflexively grabbed the corner of his clothes, Liu Ruo looked at her, her expression was warm, and said: "Don't worry about the benefactor, Xiaowan is still young, and there are some things that I have my own measure." ”

"Liu Ruo?" Qi Xiaowan looked at him blankly, the thin piece of fabric in her hand clenched even tighter, "Are you leaving?" ”
