Chapter 16: The Hunt
(1)
I just came back, but Jingwen hurriedly asked me to leave, I didn't understand the reason, could it be that at night, that fire fire will still do something?
"Uhhh Jingwen, why?" I asked, puzzled.
"Someone is spying on me, from the time I came back until now. Jingwen said uneasily.
When I said this, my cold hair suddenly stood up, and I immediately fell into the chill of the abyss valley from the warmth when I came back!
"So you've kept the lights on to keep out of the people who are hiding in the corner?" I asked.
"I think you'll be hiding from your character, but when I heard the sound of the key just now, I didn't expect it. Jingwen lowered her head, although her expression was worried about me, she was vaguely happy that I was coming.
"I'm a pretty unreliable person in your eyes, right?" I said helplessly.
However, Jingwen suddenly covered my mouth with her hand at this moment, and the temperature from her hand immediately brought a trace of warmth to my cold lips that I had just soaked in cold water, Jingwen quickly turned off the room light, and the surroundings immediately fell into darkness, only the window in the bedroom was shining through the moonlight, which seemed brighter, Jingwen pulled my hand under the table, and it was silent for a long time.
After a while, the surrounding movement seemed to subside, and Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Why is your body so cold?"
When I said this, I remembered the way I had been, and I couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and put the thick, damp black hairs in my hand on her hand, and she tentatively touched it, but still did not understand my intentions.
"Jingwen, did you spend a long time in the water under the bridge at the city gate?" I asked.
Her hands tightened suddenly, and she nodded.
It seems that all my judgments are correct, and all my speculations have happened, but now that I know how late, I can't help but sigh.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Jingwen with concern.
At this moment, the darkness and silence around it give it a special atmosphere, as if the contact surface of the soul is expanded.
"I didn't understand a lot of things, I missed a lot of things, I did a lot of things wrong, and I did a lot of things that were irreparable," I sighed, but it sounded like a tongue twister.
"Because you don't want to understand what's going on, you don't like things happening, you just like things that you can accept. Jingwen's voice couldn't tell what emotion it was.
"Jingwen, I'm here tonight just to face, make amends, and accept things other than my acceptance, can you help me?" I begged, but when I said it, I felt a lot more liberated.
Jingwen didn't speak for a while, until the atmosphere gradually turned cold and I didn't dare to ask again, she suddenly asked gently, "Okay, what do you want to know?"
In this way, I finally opened her heart, and it was also a manifestation of her putting me as a coward into her life again.
It turned out that things were much more terrible than I imagined, that time on the top of the mountain, I left out of anger, and finally separated from Jingwen, and she was mortally injured in the port, which made it difficult for her to use magic, and she could only go down the mountain like an ordinary person.
However, the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, and on the way down the mountain, because there was no Arlinn to guide her, she went around and got lost in the mountain, and just when she was so tired that she couldn't call the heavens and the earth unspiritual, a group of evil spirits in the mountains came, and he followed the breath of human life and pursued them!
Jingwen hurriedly ran away at that time, desperately calling for me, but at this time, I was trapped in the "withered old witch" people! She was finally chased by those evil spirits, and she was about to be eaten and killed, at this time, the remaining "evil curse" in Jingwen's body suddenly awakened, and she turned into a two-meter giant monster again, confronting those evil spirits.
Fortunately, Jingwen's body was huge at that time, and those evil spirits were all mountain monsters less than a meter, better in number, but less powerful, and finally Jingwen relied on her own strength to consume it, she said, at that time she really wished I was by my side, but I could only continue to listen to it in horror at the moment.
Then she was exhausted and rolled down the hill, but unexpectedly found her way down, dragging her tired body, and there were countless scratches on her body, and she persevered with her tenacious perseverance, and it didn't take long for her to return to her original form, back to the appearance of a human, which made her even more powerless.
She said that without that decade of tenacity, she might not have been able to walk again when she recovered.
In the end, she jumped into an ox cart dragging straw, and the owner of the ox car saw that she was pitiful, so he asked her where she was going, and she said that she was going to [Huyin Town] to find relatives, so the ox cart drove her to the market in [Huyin Town], and she went straight to the 'Mojia Dyeing Workshop' according to her old memory.
I lost my temper once, picked on the child, but almost put Jingwen to death, I am really afraid to think about it, and I really regret it!
After saying this, Jingwen seemed to let go of some things, and her mood was much better.
"I'm sorry! I've never been able to be there for you when you need it, this apprentice has failed quite a bit. "I can only express my apologies as an apprentice now.
"Speaking of apprentices, do you know why I didn't choose a new person to replace you in the [White City]?" Jingwen suddenly asked playfully.
"Why?" I was curious.
"Because..."Jingwen patted the position of her heart, and said, "Psychological people can't be replaced." ”
When I heard this, my face immediately turned red, and I felt that my breath was about to reach my throat and eyes, and my heart couldn't help but speed up!
Anyway, did she tell me? I didn't expect her to even have to make a confession! I couldn't help but feel a little guilty...
"Jingwen, I want to marry you..."I said.
However, Jingwen was silent, and there was a dead silence around her!
Am I saying the wrong thing?
I realized that maybe I was in a hurry, maybe Jingwen didn't mean that, she just said that the position of the apprentice couldn't be changed!
I hurriedly tried to change my words, and said, "I'm sorry, because..."
But before I finished speaking, I felt that warm lips with a fresh fragrance imprinted on my lips, and my face suddenly became even more red and hot, fortunately in the dark, but now I only feel that the whole world seems to be magnified, and the only thing left is the tenderness and sweetness in front of me!
She let go of her mouth and said gently: "What you just said, you can't run away, let alone change your words, you have to face it head-on." ”
How could I want to run away? Didn't I want to face it head-on? So I hugged Jingwen in my arms again and kissed her on the lips, only to feel her breath as rapid as mine, surrounded by her fresh and lively fragrance...
At this moment, in the darkness, their respective voices are exceptionally clear, but it makes this soul touch particularly ambiguous.
"In the future, you have to learn to protect me, and you can't hide anymore. Jingwen whispered softly in front of me.
"I will only stand in front of you to protect you in the future, and as long as I am still capable, I will never put you in danger!" I swore that this oath would also affect many of my choices in the future, and something seemed to open up in my heart, and my mind swirled with the "ancient language" that I often said in my dream "refining demons".
"Wake up..."Jingwen and I said in unison.
"Can you hear that?" I asked, surprised.
"The 'blood' we use comes from the same. Jingwen explained gently.

However, the sweet time came to an end after Jingwen accompanied me to change clothes, and when I stood in the moonlight through the window, there was a pair of fiery red eyes staring at me opposite!
Fire Xuan!
"Isn't it nice to come to someone's house to peep at so late?" I said mockingly out the window.
Strangely, this time I didn't feel bold, which made me look at Jingwen.
"It's my duty to catch criminals, and as for what method to use, it's not up to you, a defeated general, to make irresponsible remarks. Huo Xuan's arrogant voice came again.
At this time, under the moonlight, standing on the floor, looking at the scattered and orderly house scenery, accompanied by beautiful women, it is a beautiful time, but there are always people who want to destroy Yaxing, which makes people unhappy!
"Then tell me what I have done?" I was impatient to rehash the old story.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you! "That Huo Xuan is really worthy of his name, and the fire is really not small!
I hurriedly protected Jingwen behind me, and Jingwen clutched the corner of my coat tightly, and I knew how much she longed to be protected.
I turned around and hurriedly hugged Jingwen, and whispered in her ear, "Go and go..."
Jingwen could only let go of the clenched hand, and I rushed out of the window, and after reciting that secret sentence, the purple qi suddenly opened up! And in my own aura, those purple qi followed my consciousness to form a ladder, and I walked down leisurely.
As soon as the whistle blew, many "executors" suddenly appeared around, and he also jumped down from the eaves opposite my house above, thus forming a wrapping trend!
This battle ended quickly, because the reason why the enemy dared to make a move was to touch all the possible hiding places around here and confirm that Luo Yin was not there, so he dared to surround me, and the fire Xuan was indeed in a hurry, taking advantage of the darkness of the night to be difficult to see, and stabbed at me with a very fast sword momentum!
And in order to be able to fight quickly, the fiery red lines on his whole body quickly unfolded as he advanced!
The strange thing is that I know that this battle must be lost, but I am not so scared psychologically, and I want to escape, just like I said to Jingwen, even if it is an unfavorable situation, I try not to be afraid and face it head-on.
Jingwen watched anxiously upstairs, but I knew the result, so I could only look back a few more times at Jingwen's long flowing hair and delicate face under the moonlight, which were fascinating...
With a "whoosh", Huo Xuan stood in front of me, the huge blade of the sword had gently scratched and scalded my skin, and I stood still, almost startling him!
If I hadn't turned into blood, he might have thought I had just taken the wrong medicine.
Soon, with the great advantage of Huo Xuan, those "executors" quickly pounced and locked my hands with "magic chains", which can block the absolute square valve and directly prevent the danger of the opponent's move.
And I was taken away, Jingwen also ran downstairs from the upper floor, caught up with the "executors", and said: "Your way is not allowed in the "Enforcement Code", if you interfere with the normal life of civilians, you will commit the third case of the classics, and I think you will also have to go to prison." ”
After Jingwen finished speaking, Huo Xuan couldn't help but feel funny, and knew what Jingwen wanted to do, and said, "Then what do you want?"
"Let me say a few words to Yinfeng. Jingwen asked.
"Yes, but just say it as it is. Huo Xuan also knew that he was at a loss, but he was even more afraid of Jingwen's deception.
Jingwen came up to me, shoved a piece of paper into my pocket, hugged me softly, and whispered, "Don't worry. ”
Then the executions took me away, and she stood there as if she was waiting for me to come back right now.
These "executors" were from [White City], and they didn't seem to want the local officials to take some credit, so they didn't take me to the local [Public Security Division] that night, but took me to a secret post station, and locked me under the granary of a post station, where the food eaten by the "post dragon" and the horses was all relatively high fodder.
But it also meant that the smell wasn't too good, and I was locked to a warehouse door, and the "executors" were watching me outside in shifts.
This post station is located at the north entrance of [Huyin Town], if you don't carefully distinguish it, you just think it's a wasteland, or a private farmhouse, it's hard to imagine that it's a post station, and these "executors" are touching something along the way, it should be to get rid of their own smell and whereabouts, which ensures the safety of their mission.
Now I'm still in the secret place of the secret place, and I can only ask for more blessings...
At this time, Huo Xuan came to see me in the barn.
"Hey, I read your file, you used to be a crane tail, and you couldn't pass the second-class warlock exam in a few years, but your current ability... If I hadn't opened the 'Heavenly Fire Pattern', I wouldn't have been able to deal with you, how did you do it?' just because it was the 'Demon Refining' host?" Huo Xuan seemed to have been holding back this question for a long time, and he wanted to know very much.
"Maybe it's just because I'm a 'demon refining' host. That's really all I can say.
"Do you know the 'Ability Level Grade?'" he asked.
I nodded, as Arlinn had mentioned before.
"I'm at a high level, and I've been chasing you 'Dead Old Witch', but it's only this level!Haven't you heard of the 'Three Wonders of the White City'?" he asked with some swagger.
"No, forgive me for being just a country kid. I said.
"The so-called Tianqi, Renqi, Diqi, I am the 'Diqi'!" he said proudly, the "execution" of the gatekeeper was boiling, but I didn't show much feeling.
He saw that I was cold, and knew that he couldn't talk anymore, so he left disappointed.
The next day, a group of them took me to the prisoner car and prepared to send me to [White City], but I didn't go far from the city, but I saw that the fallen leaves around me were constantly drifting, which made people feel a little nervous.
"Boss, there are some weird legends on this path, why don't we change lanes?" said one of the "executors" timidly.
"Except for Beichengkou and Xichengkou, where else can you go?Xichengkou is not afraid that Luo Daxia is waiting?" Huo Xuan reprimanded.
However, the surrounding flowers have also begun to wither....
