Chapter 11: Encounter (2)
The two walked a hundred steps one after the other, and Ah Nian asked, "What are you doing here?" She didn't look back, didn't even stop for a moment, and her tone was very calm.
"On such a cold day, I wanted to find a place to stay. ”
The town is over there, and although there is no one left, he should be able to settle himself as a big man. These words passed through Ah Nian's heart, but she didn't say it.
Ah Nian didn't drive the man away, and after a while, the man couldn't help but ask, "You're not afraid that I'm a bad person?"
"It's always been people who are afraid of me. ”
"You're so small, and anyone is afraid of you?" In the man's opinion, Ah Nian was no taller than his shoulders, and his figure was also very thin, his cheeks were a little sunken, and his face was pale.
Ah Nian pursed the corners of her lower lip slightly, without further explanation.
After a while, the man couldn't help but say, "I am a disciple of the Penglai Sect of the East China Sea, and my Dao name is empty. What about you? What is your name?"
"Ah Nian. ”
"Miss Ah Nian. ”
Ah Nian hummed, didn't say much, didn't look back, and his pace never slowed down by half a minute.
For some reason, the little girl didn't go far before she felt tired, but after meeting Zixu, she returned to the dwarf pine forest without a short break without a short break.
"We're here!" Ah Nian murmured softly.
Zixu looked around and was very surprised, "There are no houses here, there are no holes, are you a human or a ghost?"
"I'm a witch. Ah Nian glanced back at him.
Glancing back at the lights, Zixu found that Ah Nian's eyes were very beautiful, as charming and beautiful as a shallow painting. It's a pity! Such eyes are grown in such an ordinary ...... No, it's a girl's face that seems to be a little inferior to the ordinary.
"Since you are a disciple of the Penglai Sect, you should know some immortal techniques, and you can't see the difference between people and ghosts?"
Ah Nian hung the glass lamp on the branches of the pine tree when he spoke, and then put down the little girl on his back, Zixu immediately put away his thoughts and stretched out his hands to help her take the little girl.
"Do you still know about the Penglai faction?" Zixu was quite surprised.
"It looks like it's in the book. She had never left the town, but she had learned a lot of strange things from the books and from her grandmother.
"Oh. ”
Ah Nian retrieved the glass lamp again, turned around to leave, and paused slightly, "This is not my place, whether you can stay overnight or not, it's not up to me to decide." ”
"Oh, understood. Zi replied with a grin.
Ah Nian walked a few steps into the depths of the pine forest with the lamp, and suddenly heard a squeak of opening the door, and the sky changed in an instant, and there was already a small courtyard full of strange flowers and plants in front of him.
"Coming back? Not alone. ”
Yu Huaji stood under the eaves, as if she had melted into the night, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but Ah Nian felt that she was smiling.
"Hmm!" Ah Nian said truthfully, "On the way, I met a little girl who was sick and feverish, and I met a son, who claimed to be from the Penglai faction. ”
"It turns out that you are also a kind-hearted!" Yuhua Ji seemed to mock, but then smiled again, "Just like him." ”
Ah Nian is under the fence, and he can't be the master, so he bows his head and waits silently.
After a while, Yuhua Ji said again, "The Penglai faction has some old history. Now that everyone is here, it seems stingy not to open the door to welcome guests!"
After the words fell, several lights were lit up under the eaves, and Yuhuaji's cold and beautiful appearance was revealed in Ah Nian's eyes.
"Go and invite them in!" Yuhua Ji said.
"Thank you, Lady Jade!"
Ah Nian turned around and found that the courtyard door had been opened, and there were two more red lanterns on the door......
Zixu paused outside the door and said politely, "Zixu, a disciple in Penglai, is bothered!"
"Zixu, Zixu?" Yuhua Ji sneered, "You Penglai are so hidden, and you don't make up a name." ”
Zixu said with a bitter face, "My name is really Zixu! I don't understand why my master gave me such a Taoist name? But he said, what does it matter if it's real or fake?!"
"It really doesn't matter if you're real or fake! Since I've allowed you in, it's okay to stay you overnight!"
Yu Hua Ji smiled faintly, brushed her sleeves and put her hand behind her back, "It's already late at night, Miss Ah Nian will take Zi Xudao Chang to rest! The place is narrow, you can live in a room!" After speaking, Yu Hua Ji went to the next room.
Zixu stared at Ah Nian, who had no objection, "Is it really okay?"
"Do you have a question?"
"If you think it's okay for a girl, it's okay!"
Ah Nian turned around and walked away as if unconsciously.
Zixu hurriedly followed, and as soon as the person entered the courtyard, the courtyard gate closed by itself. He didn't look back, followed Ah Nian into the house, and then put the little girl on the bed according to Ah Nian's instructions.
Zixu glanced at the room, it was not big, but it was clean and tidy. In fact, there is no bed in the house, just a bunk on the ground, and there are few things, not like a long-term stay.
Zixu put down his burden and sword, and said with emotion, "Miss Ah Nian is really not an ordinary girl!"
"I'm a witch. Ah Nian paused, glanced at Zixu and said, "You are an ordinary man, obviously a cultivator!"
"I am indeed an ordinary man, and I am also a cultivator. Zixu looked at Ah Nian for the little girl's illness, and said with a smile, "Ah Nian girl is quite a bold little witch! ”
Ah Nian said indifferently, "She was injured, very badly. "The fever is also caused by an injury, and this injury is extraordinary...... She couldn't help.
"Then you're still a very kind shrine maiden. ”
Ah Nian remembered Yu Hua Ji's previous taunt, but she was sure that Zi Xu's words did not mean the same as Yu Hua Ji.
"I'm just idle. "So I just did something. Or maybe it's boring, so she's always curious about outsiders.
Zi is noncommittal.
Ah Nian sat down on the bed and looked at Zixu seriously. She hadn't looked at this person seriously before, but now she took a closer look and found that he had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, which could be regarded as good-looking, but it was still far from Yuwei Zhenren's otherworldly immortal appearance.
Zixu noticed Ah Nian's gaze, but he didn't avoid it, and he let her look at it generously.
It wasn't until Ah Nian looked away that Zixu asked again, "Who is that beautiful woman just now?" Such a stunning appearance is rare in the world, but appearing in this remote place, it can't help but make people suspect that she is a demon and a non-human.
"She's the master here, you can call her Madame Jade. ”
"She lives alone in this barren mountain and wilderness?" Zi Xu's face was puzzled.
"Madame Jade has a husband, but she just happens to be absent. Ah Nian stood up from the side of the bed, "She doesn't live here either. ”
"Has Miss Ah Nian seen her husband?"
"I've seen it!" Ah Nian hooked his lips and smiled, "Better than you!"
"If you don't look better than me, how can you be worthy of Madam Yu's flower and moon appearance?" Zixu also bent his lips and smiled, "What's more, Madam Yu is not an ordinary person!
Ah Nian couldn't help but glance at him more. This person is still smart when he should be smart, and most of the time he is pretending to be confused when he is confused!
"If it's okay, just rest early!"
"I ...... How do you rest?" Zixu looked around, it was empty, only a clean floor.
"You can sleep on the ground and the sky, and now that you have a house to shelter from the wind and cold, why can't you rest? It is rumored that the Penglai faction is known as the ancestor of cultivation, and you are a disciple of Penglai, so this thing can't help you!"
Zixu laughed twice, "Miss Ah Nian knows a lot!"
"Not much, just happen to know a little. ”
"Miss Ah Nian is reasonable!" Zixu sat down cross-legged on the spot, "Miss Ah Nian should also rest early!" After speaking, he closed his eyes.
Ah Nian kept staring at Zixu until he felt that he was breathing steadily and seemed to be asleep, then he turned off the lights and lay down in his clothes, and took the soul umbrella placed under the quilt into his arms before leaving......
