Chapter Twenty-Three: Dinner Table Chatter

In the middle of the night, Liuyun, who had completed his routine spitting, fell asleep on the bunk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info But the face that was comfortable before falling asleep was now a little distorted by fear, but even so, his eyes were still closed. That's right, he's dreaming, and it's a horrible nightmare.

In the dream, Liuyun came to a misty place, surrounded by a thick fog, and only the dark brown earth a few feet square under his feet was so conspicuous. The whole space was cold and dark, and there was not a trace of light. In the distance, it seems that a terrible cry can be faintly heard, which makes people shudder.

Liuyun was secretly puzzled, and suddenly an angry roar sounded from behind.

"Liuyun, give me back my life!!" the vicious, hoarse voice was filled with endless resentment.

Liuyun was startled by the terrifying and familiar voice, and immediately turned around, only to see a strong man without a head behind him, thick blood constantly spurting outward from his broken neck, and many of it gurgling down his neck, as if it would never dry up.

The strong man staggered towards the flowing clouds, step by step, and the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the space, so clear. The blood on his body continued to drip down, leaving a crimson trail behind his head.

That strong man, Liuyun knows, no, it should be said that the memory is so deep that I can't forget it, it is that Thunder Tiger.

"No, aren't you already dead?!" the trembling and incredulous words cried out from her throat. In the dream, he took off his usual strength, and his panicked expression was more like what he should have at this age.

"Liuyun, give me back my life!!" Lei Hu seemed to have no senses, and only knew how to repeat this sentence blindly.

Looking at the Thunder Tiger approaching step by step, Liuyun couldn't help but want to retreat. Suddenly, he was horrified to find that he could not move, and no matter how hard he tried to resist, he could not command his silent body.

Liuyun could only watch as Lei Hu dragged his headless body and walked towards him little by little. But he couldn't move, he couldn't speak, only the clear sound of his heartbeat echoed in his ears.

Liuyun's pupils dilated in shock, and the last image he saw was a scarlet palm and his own headless body.

......

"Huh~~Huh~~Huh~~", his eyes opened suddenly, and Liuyun woke up panting.

He hurriedly lifted the quilt, got up and looked around, his face still a little frightened. After a long time, he understood the current situation, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, took a long breath, and said to himself: "Is it that dream again?" ”

At this time, the sleeping Xiaoli was startled by Liuyun's sudden movements. She raised her little head and looked left and right, it was not time to get up yet, I don't know what Liuyun is crazy again, she has disturbed the fox's dream several times in more than a month. Glancing angrily at the flowing clouds beside him, Xiaoli continued to shrink into a ball and sleep peacefully.

Liuyun didn't have any extra energy to focus on Xiaoli at the moment, he was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, and muttered in his mouth: "The mirror is dusty, not stained with dust, the heart is as clear as ice, holding the yuan and keeping one, there is no self and no phase, and the spiritual platform is clear..."

This passage suppressed Liuyun's violent mood swings due to murder at the beginning, and now it is used by him to calm his turbulent state of mind.

It turned out to be quite effective. At least a moment later, Liuyun's slightly pale face regained its blood, and his heartbeat and breathing were as smooth as ever. After his situation eased, Liuyun got into the futon again. This kind of situation has happened from time to time since the day he killed Lei Hu, and now he can deal with it more calmly, but the knot in his heart has not been completely untied.

......

In the early morning, feeling the sunlight sown in from the window, the flowing clouds slowly harvested. After all, this is a city, and there are many people, so he has no suitable place to cultivate, so he can only make do in the firewood room. However, from his dissatisfied look, it can be seen that the effect is not very good.

Xiaoli on the side is also "squeaking" protesting for the reduction of treatment. Liuyun smiled when she saw this, and gently rubbed her little head to soothe her little nature.

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door, and then a soft female voice came: "Liu Gongzi, are you awake?"

"Wake up. Is there something wrong? I'll open the door. Liuyun responded quickly as he neatly sorted out his clothes.

"No hassle. I'm just here to let you know that breakfast is ready, so let's come and eat together. Guan Ling left after informing her, but the shyness on her face could not be seen through the door.

"Oh, okay. No one could hear the answer. Liuyun didn't care, left Xiaoli in the firewood room, and went alone.

When Liuyun came to the table, Guan Ling's family was already waiting here. The food on the table has not been touched, and it seems that he wants to wait for Liuyun to eat together.

Liuyun was quite embarrassed to see this, and hurriedly said, "You guys eat quickly, there's no need to wait for me." ”

A good-looking middle-aged man smiled when he heard this: "Liu Gongzi, you are the benefactor of our family, how can we leave you to cook alone." "This man is Guan Ling's father, Guan Cheng.

"yes, yes. When Mr. Liu's son said this, it really tormented us. The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman sitting next to Guan Cheng, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and a gentle demeanor, although there were more wrinkles on her face due to her age, it was not difficult to see that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young. And this woman is Guan Ling's mother-Cai Wen.

"The second elder doesn't have to be polite, I'm just raising my hands. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for staying with me. Liuyun waved his hand and found an empty seat and sat down. The place where he sat was not far from Guan Ling.

After Guan Ling came over, she didn't squeak, lowered her head slightly, and didn't know what she was thinking. At this time, he caught a glimpse of Liuyun sitting beside him, his heart couldn't help but beat faster, and the roots of his ears were a little red.

Guan Ling didn't know what was wrong with her, since Liuyun rescued her yesterday, she felt more and more difficult to face directly, and now she was even more ashamed to raise her head. It's the same in the morning, just leave, he won't have an opinion about it. The girl who is just starting to fall in love is restless.

Guan Ling's parents are from the past, and they found some clues yesterday, and they are even more convinced when they look at it today, but they just tacitly believe it. Their naturally happy daughter can find the person she likes, and this young man's appearance and character are all superior, which is really a good match. Even today's seat is carefully arranged by the two, and the rest depends on whether the daughter can grasp it.

At the dinner table, after Liuyun greeted everyone, he began to devour and eat. You must know that the food in the mountains and forests is not good, and at present, even porridge and pickles make him feel that it is gluttonous in the world.

Guan Ling's parents, who wanted to talk to him, smiled helplessly when they saw this. Guan Ling, on the other hand, remained silent, peeking at the clouds from time to time, then lowered her head and continued to eat. The only sound left on the table was the clashing of dishes and chopsticks.

"Whew, it's so full. Liuyun ate and drank to his heart's content, and sat lazily on the stool, his face showing a pleasant expression. After a while, he felt that his performance was a little embarrassing, coughed lightly, straightened his body, and made a dignified posture.

Guan Cheng saw that Liuyun couldn't let go in front of them, and said to him kindly: "Liugongzi, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home." ”

"Okay then, but don't call me any boy, I'm not used to it. Just call me by my name. Liuyun responded cheerfully. He was not a master who followed the rules, and when he heard Guan Ling's father's words, no matter whether the other party was polite or not, he had the right to accept it as a fact.

"It's... All right. Guan Cheng and his family were a little hesitant at first, after all, Liuyun was kind to their family, and of course they needed to be courteous. But on second thought, this is also a good way to get closer to each other, so I agreed.

Liuyun saw that they had no opinions, so he raised the question he was most concerned about: "Uncle and aunt, do you know how to go to Chenzhou?" He now has no clues to help his sister recover, so he can only let it go first. As for the matter of seeking revenge, you have to go back to Qiancheng County to inquire about the origin of that Huiyu, which coincides with the intention of returning to your hometown, so the top priority is to return to your hometown as soon as possible.

Although Guan Cheng didn't know the purpose of Liuyun's question, he would tell the truth about his benefactor's question, and replied: "Although this Chenzhou borders on our Xuzhou, it is separated by the wide and steep Bailing Mountains, and there is no direct way to and from it, and it is all about Yun and Qing Prefectures. ”

"Uncle, can you know the specific route?" Liuyun continued to ask, obviously very eager for this question.

"I don't know. Guan Cheng shook his head, a little ashamed on his face.

"Uncle doesn't have to care, I'll just ask. Liuyun smiled straightforwardly, signaling that Guan Cheng didn't have to mind.

At this time, Guan Lingzhen, who had been silent, raised her head slightly, opened her mouth slightly, and interjected in a low voice: "I know." ”

Hearing this, Liuyun turned his head, looked at Guan Ling with some excitement, and asked hurriedly: "Sister Guan, tell me about it." ”

This "Sister Guan" made Guan Ling blushing with shame, and the courage she had just raised retracted, and she lowered her head helplessly, not daring to look at Liuyun.

Liuyun didn't know what her daughter's family was thinking, and seeing that Guan Ling didn't reply to his words for a long time, she was anxious but couldn't do anything, so she had to urge: "Good sister, you said it." ”

This sister on the left and sister on the right made Guan Ling feel a little dizzy, and she completely left the problem of Liuyun behind her and fell into her own girlish feelings.

"Ahem, Ling'er, people ask you. Guan Ling's mother, Cai Wen, saw her daughter looking fascinated, shook her head and smiled, so she had to reach out and touch her to bring her back to her senses.

"Oh, oh, Liugongzi, I'm sorry, I was rude just now. Guan Ling apologized softly, but kept her eyebrows down and didn't look directly at Liuyun.

"It's okay, it's okay. But I call you sister, don't you also call me brother? Liuyun said teasingly. After that, he was not in a hurry, and when he saw that Guan Ling was so shy today, he started to laugh. If he knew that people liked him, I am afraid he would not be so arrogant and unscrupulous.

When Guan Ling heard this, the flush on her face became even worse, and she hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves, and muttered softly in her mouth: "Yun... Brother..."

"Okay, okay, Ling'er, tell Liuyun what you know. Guan Cheng took the topic back with a loud voice. He can't stand it anymore, this kid, although he is very optimistic about him, but he can't tease his daughter like this. Later, I have to talk to my daughter well, so as not to be bullied in the future.

After being reminded by her father, Guan Ling suppressed those thoughts for the time being, and explained softly: "It's not that I know, but someone knows." There were caravans in the city that were constantly on the move, and they should know best. ”

The sound is very pleasant, but it is too soft, if it weren't for Liuyun's developed hearing, it probably wouldn't be clear to hear. However, he didn't care about these, as long as he had an answer, he was overjoyed and immediately thanked: "Thank you Sister Guan for solving your doubts." ”

"No thanks, cloud... Brother. Guan Ling responded shyly, but the latter sentence "Brother Yun" was too light, even with Liuyun's ears, he couldn't really hear it.

"By the way, uncle, do you have any fruits and vegetables? I want to give my companion, the little white fox. Liuyun saw that Guan Ling was immersed in her own world again, and she was a little speechless, so she asked Guan Cheng. He hadn't forgotten that Xiaoli was still hungry in the firewood room.

"Yes, you wait, I'll get it. Guan Cheng replied immediately.

"Okay, then thank you uncle. Liuyun didn't twist and thanked him directly.

A moment later, Liuyun walked towards the firewood room with a plate of fruits and vegetables. At the dinner table, only Guan Ling's parents were telling Guan Ling something, but Guan Ling's expression became more and more shy...
