Chapter 188: The Man Who Returned from Hell
At night, the city is still bustling with activity, and ordinary people do not seem to be affected by the border wars or the undercurrents on the rivers and lakes.
Pedestrians still weave through the streets, and vendors still shout and shout.
The troubles of the big people have nothing to do with them, at least until something happens. This is not their insensitivity, but many things may not change anything even if you are worried, rather than this, living a good life in a down-to-earth manner is the most important thing for these ordinary people.
Coming out of the hotel, only the positions between Ye Hongjian and Xu Han seemed to have been reversed.
Ye Hongjian kept his head down and was silent like a child who had made a mistake, but the difference was that Xu Han didn't dare or was reluctant to really lose his temper with Ye Hongjian.
He just thought it was a little funny, and a little unbelievable.
This kind of chaotic thing really doesn't look like something that can be done with Ye Hongjian's temperament.
But at this moment, if you think about it, there is indeed some trickiness in it, after all, with Ye Hongjian's previous ten fingers not touching the spring water, it is really not a reasonable thing to be able to make such a diligent improvement in cooking skills in such a short period of time.
It's just that Xu Han really didn't think that Ye Hongjian would take the food in the restaurant and act as if he was doing such a thing with his own hands, so he didn't think about it except for sighing.
He looked at Ye Hongjian, who was silent with his head bowed beside him, thinking about finding a topic to resolve the embarrassment at the moment, although he couldn't understand what Ye Hongjian was doing this for, but the root of the matter was obviously still in himself. Naturally, he wouldn't criticize Ye Hongjian for this, so he wanted to say something after thinking about it slightly.
"Xiao Han...", but before the words came out, he was interrupted by Ye Hongjian first.
Xu Han, who thought that Ye Hongjian would remain silent, was slightly stunned when he heard this, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Hongjian's head was buried even lower at that time, and the firelight from the lanterns on both sides of the street reflected on the side face of a woman dressed in red, I don't know if it was because of some unspeakable panic, the eyelashes on the talking eyes of the picturesque woman blinked uneasily.
She paused and was silent for a few more breaths before she said in a tone that was more than a few minutes lower than usual, "Do you think I'm doing a bad job?"
Xu Han was stunned again, Ye Hongjian's question was somewhat abrupt to Xu Han.
He pondered the question carefully for a moment, and then a look of determination appeared on his face, and he shook his head decisively: "No!"
"I've always thought that the food made on red paper is the best thing in the world!"
Xu Han's words can be described as categorical, and with that straight face, there is no one who disagrees with him on this point. He will immediately put his sword on the top and kill the opponent and turn it on his back.
It's just that this is the best answer in his opinion, but in exchange for another big white eye from Ye Hongjian.
The lonely look on Ye Hongjian's face disappeared at this moment, and she said with a little anger on her face: "That's not what I'm talking about. ”
Xu Han blinked his eyes and wondered, "What is that?"
Ye Hongjian couldn't help but stroke her forehead and sighed, and at this moment, she was secretly questioning herself in her heart, what was the reason why she fell in love with this stupid person.
But the matter has come to this point, and Ye Hongjian can only bear the "evil consequences" of encountering people. She frowned and asked, "I'm asking if I'm doing a bad job as a wife!"
Xu Han finally reacted at this time, but before such a question, Xu Han might be able to have a good chat with Ye Hongjian, but at this moment, Ye Hongjian, who had obviously been aroused by Xu Han's wooden flute, was obviously not the object that Xu Han could afford to provoke.
Driven by a strong desire to survive, Xu Han nodded heavily again, and said categorically: "How could it be!
With Xu Han like this, the resentment in Ye Hongjian's heart was almost gone, and she glanced at the young man again, but the expression on her face became lonely after a moment.
"I was just thinking, I never seem to have helped you with anything..."
Ye Hongjian's head lowered, and his voice became imperceptible again.
"Whether it's in Chang'an, or here, I can't even cook you a delicious meal..."
"Is a wife like me really competent?"
Ye Hongjian knew Xu Han very well, she could see that Xu Han was worried about Liu Sheng's affairs, and she could also see that in addition, he also hid some other thoughts, and Xu Han never took the initiative to mention these thoughts, Ye Hongjian wanted to ask but did not ask, because she knew that Xu Han did not say that there was a reason why he did not say it, and it was precisely because of this reason that even if she asked, Xu Han would probably only find some reason to prevaricate.
But she really wanted to do something for Xu Han, especially after seeing Nangong Jing find the Confucian and Taoist master for Xu Han today, her intuition as a woman made her faintly aware of some unstable factors, of course, the most important thing was the guilt from her own inaction.
Thinking of this, Ye Hongjian's brows furrowed, and the look of loneliness on his face became a few points heavier.
Although Xu Han was sometimes a little sluggish about the affairs of this man and woman, after all, he was delicate, and he quickly figured out the general cause and effect from Ye Hongjian's words, but in fact, he didn't blame Ye Hongjian.
He may have always been open to his enemies, but he was very tolerant of those who approve.
And in his opinion, Ye Hongjian has not done anything wrong, everyone is born in the world as an independent existence, and they have their own insincerity and insincerity. If you ask others to stand on the same position as you in everything, and you feel that the other party is biased when there is a slight inappropriateness, then how can you consider it from the position of others?
Such a person will probably never have a heart-to-heart self.
Everything Ye Hongjian has done in her position is already all she can do, and to let such a woman do this to herself, Xu Han will probably not be able to give birth to any harsh criticism in addition to being satisfied.
He looked at Ye Hongjian, who looked lonely, and felt a little pity in his heart.
Driven by such a pity for the ghost, he actually stretched out his hand and touched the girl's head, and the touch from the palm and the girl's soft hair made Xu Han feel a little uneasy.
Ye Hongjian was also shocked by Xu Han's sudden bold move, she raised her head like an electric shock, but at that time she met the young man's gaze, and his voice immediately sounded in her ears.
"Did I tell you?"
"Huh?"
"It's great that you're here. ”
Ye Hongjian's body shook, and her gaze at Xu Han suddenly flickered, and her dark eyes seemed to be able to speak, reflecting the lights in the Henghuang City, flashing brighter than starlight.
As if by some kind of tacit understanding, both of them looked straight at each other at this time, their heads getting closer and closer, and they could even clearly feel each other's breathing getting heavier and heavier.
"Master, what are they doing?" At this time, a childish voice broke the charming atmosphere between the two.
The two woke up like an electric shock, and they realized that they were still in the middle of this trouble.
"They're fighting. ”
"Fight, then why not use a sword?"
"Uh... The tricks between the masters are like this, the eyes meet, and it seems that they are not moving, but in fact, the internal force and divine thoughts have been exchanged thousands of times. ”
"Was the master fighting last time he was so close to the sister of that building?"
"Hmm... Of course. Alas, let's not talk about it, we have to hurry. ”
"Oh. ”
A strange conversation also reached the ears of the two of them, and they looked in the direction from which the voice came, only to see a middle-aged man hurrying away with a little girl with pigtails not far away.
The two glanced at each other, but they didn't delve into the strange master and apprentice, but remembered that the two of them were almost embarrassed in this busy city before, and hurriedly put aside their eyes at that time.
"I can't imagine that the wooden flutes on weekdays are all pretended, and you are also a first-class good hand to deceive girls. No wonder that Nangong Jing wants to lean on you all day long..."probably because he thinks that this atmosphere is really too weird, Ye Hongjian said again after a period of silence.
Xu Han couldn't stand such cynicism, and hurriedly explained: "Nangong Jing is just on business, I really have nothing to do with her..."
"Then do you want to have a relationship?" Ye Hongjian blinked.
Xu Han's body was shocked, and he said solemnly: "Naturally I don't want to." ”
Ye Hongjian was also amused by Xu Han's appearance, she frowned, and said, "Forgive you for not having the courage to be a thief." ”
Seeing her like this, Xu Han also smiled slightly, and was about to say something more, but at that time, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his head raised his side eyes to look into the depths of the street corner. At that moment, his pupils dilated suddenly, and a look of horror appeared between his eyebrows.
Ye Hongjian saw that Xu Han suddenly disappeared, a little strange, she looked up at the young man, but also found the strange appearance of the young man. She hurriedly followed Xu Han's gaze towards the corner of the street, and when she saw the situation at the corner clearly, her body was like a heavy injury, and she froze in place.
At the end of the long street, people came and went.
In the crowd, an old man in a raven-blue robe stood in place like a ghost, and the crowd passed by him as if he didn't feel his presence at all, and the old man's gaze did not stop for half a minute on those pedestrians, he stood there as if he had crawled out of hell, his eyes were gloomy, as if he had passed through the Yellow Spring and the Nine Shadows, crossed the gate of life and death, and arrived here.
Ye Hongjian finally couldn't suppress the horror in his heart anymore.
She muttered.
"Master, Grandpa..."
