22. Extraneous branches
After nightfall, Wen Susu sneaked out of Yingxiang's place again, and now she has experience in night travel, so there was nothing wrong along the way, and she arrived at Shiyun's bamboo courtyard safely and soundly. But as soon as he arrived at the destination, Wen Susu felt that something was wrong, the black lights here didn't look like someone was there at all, was Shiyun asleep? But what about the spirit man who should have arrived before her? Wen Susu looked around again, it was still quiet, there was no half a figure there, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, took two steps forward and knocked on the door of the bamboo house.
In the complete silence, only the sound of her fingers knocking on the bamboo door was particularly obvious, and this feeling made Wen Susu unconsciously feel a little nervous, too quiet, just like the situation before the scary scene in a horror movie......
"Who?!"
The voice of the treacherous woman, who had raised at least an octave of the year, suddenly came out of her voice when it was so quiet, and Wen Susu, who was just turning her mind to the horror movie, was startled - she really jumped, and not only jumped, but also jumped very difficult and ornamental A full 180 degrees, and then her back hit the bamboo door behind her with a "pound". Wen Susu suddenly saw sweat on his forehead, this hurts...... She could almost hear the creak of her own bones and the door......
However, the reason why she broke out in a cold sweat was not only the intimate contact between her back and the door, but also the fact that when she turned around, she saw the person who had just howled in her throat, or her acquaintance, an acquaintance she hadn't seen for more than half a month since she entered the valley.
Little girl in June.
It is said that if you walk too much at night, you will always meet ghosts, but unfortunately Wen Susu bumped into one today, and it was a roadblock ghost who didn't like her. Wen Susu saw the face of the person who came to her mind, and many questions quickly rolled through her mind, such as how she would answer why she appeared here after the curfew, how she would answer about Shiyun if she was ****, and ......
"It's long past curfew, and you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here!" It's just that before Wen Susu finished thinking about the words that followed, the little girl in June had already taken the lead, and her tone was still very impulsive, even more impulsive than when they first met.
Wen Susu blinked, how could it seem that she was annoyed and angry like this? Don't...... I scared her just now? No matter how Wen Susu is also a talent irrigated by various modern horror movies, games and comics, even if this world is a cow, a ghost, a snake and a god, but June is just a teenage girl after all, it is normal to be afraid, and her fear makes Wen Susu not afraid, and even her mind is clear, "Senior Sister June also knows that the curfew time has passed, so what are you doing here?" Wen Susu asked very kindly, since the two of them were half a catty and eight taels, what else was she afraid of, and she had guessed a few reasons why she would be here in June.
Sure enough, after hearing her rhetorical question, June's face changed unnaturally, and then he glanced at the bamboo house behind her as if inadvertently. Speaking of which, I don't know if it's the result of her recent practice, or if she travels more at night, but her night vision ability is getting stronger and stronger, and these small movements in June haven't escaped her eyes at all in this night. If Fang Cai is only sixty percent sure, then Wen Susu is now ten percent sure, think about what she said when she first met Chengbi and their Yuruo, June actually appeared here, it must have happened to meet Lingzhi who came here to check the situation of Shiyun, and followed him, so now Lingzhi is in the house? I don't know what happened after Shiyun's battle with the corpse demon...... Thinking about the attitude of Lingzhi and Shiyun to avoid talking about Shiyun's various secrets, she pondered for a moment and felt that she had to stop June.
Although she is also confused about many things, those two are both strategic targets, and it is always right to help them, and this may still be a good opportunity to earn favor.
"I asked you first! And what do you think you are, you dare to talk to me with such an attitude! The little girl in June was unnatural for a while and then immediately recovered, maybe she didn't want to lose her momentum, her attitude towards Wen Susu was getting tougher and tougher, and her finger was about to point to Wen Susu's nose.
In fact, for June, Wen Susu really doesn't know much, she came to this world and was directly taken to the Valley of Hundred Medicines by the Spirit, and after entering the Valley of Hundred Medicines, she tried her best to stay, and after staying and joining Yingxiang, she began to live in simplicity to develop her own strength, either she was tired of watering vegetables and cooking, and she didn't want to move, or she was chased and killed by the corpse demon Cold Water Jiao and enjoyed the unjustified disasters that ordinary people could not enjoy, in short, in Wen Susu's busy daily life, Her cognition of the other branches in the valley is heard from the mouths of her fellow gossip parties, so although she still has a little understanding of several influential figures in the valley, but usually according to the behavior of her fellow disciples, she can't believe it all. For example, Yu Ruo's evaluation of the little girl in June, "Don't you just rely on yourself as a flower of the daughter?" I really think of myself as a daughter! She didn't know anything about Uncle Ling's thoughts, and it was not strange that Uncle Ling's appearance of talent attracted little girls to like, but she just wanted to take the shelf everywhere to give people a look, and if I wanted to say Senior Sister Susu, you should take down Uncle Lingzhi as soon as possible, I want to see what kind of face she will have when she arrives, it will definitely look good! ”
…… Wen Susu can't believe all this sentence, but there is still something credible, at least the June little girl's thoughts about Lingzhi, Wen Susu can also see it, so she doesn't have any anger in her heart towards the slender finger in front of her, child, it's not like this when she sees an imaginary love rival, if she still has the same knowledge as her, it would be too naïve. However, at this time, Wen Susu forgot one thing, she was still planning to attack Lingzhi, so that she would not be June's "illusion" rival.
For the current situation, Wen Susu still decided to coax, after all, she didn't want to poke out the matter of Shiyun living here, let alone be punished for the night tour, after all, according to the valley master's temperament of everything according to the rules, she violated the rules of the valley so blatantly, even if Kong Qing was willing to protect her, she would be locked up for at least a few days. She's a critical moment she can't afford to waste a day. Just when Wen Susu had just organized the language and wanted to speak, the movement behind her did not let her speak, and with the "squeak" of the bamboo door being opened, June suddenly maintained her posture and stayed in place, and as soon as Wen Susu turned around, she saw Lingzhi standing there holding the door and looking at them.
He didn't smile, he seemed to be not very happy with the situation in front of him.
"Senior nephew June, Su Su is your senior sister, what are you going to do here? And it's not too early now, as the first disciple of Senior Brother Yuanzhi, you shouldn't violate the rules of the valley like this. Lingzhi's words made June's face turn white all of a sudden, even in such a dark night, Wen Susu clearly saw that her face faded from blood, it seems that Lingzhi's light reproach hit her not lightly.
It's just that what Wen Susu didn't expect was that it was not Lingzhi's reproach that hit June, but the obvious partiality towards Wen Susu in his words.
June hurriedly put his hand down, lowered his head, bit his lip and wanted to admit his mistake, but he was a little unwilling after all, "Then why did Senior Sister Wen come here late at night?" "Why didn't Uncle Spirit question her?!
Wen Susu didn't intend to answer this question, she knew that since Lingzhi came out, he must have thought of a solution, she didn't believe that he didn't hear the movement outside in the house just now. Sure enough, Lingzhi answered this question very smoothly, and almost opened his mouth to come, "There is one of my patients in this bamboo house, and his body needs to recuperate before he will be arranged here, and Su Su came here in the middle of the night is naturally my intention, Senior Sister Kongqing has been asking me to take care of her more, she was called by me to learn medical skills." ”
But after Lingzhi explained so magnificently, June's face turned even whiter.
Wen Susu didn't know what she was thinking, Lingzhi's attitude had actually been very gentle, and she didn't even say a word, why did the little girl in June look like the sky had fallen? After thinking about it, I still can't figure it out. And Wen Susu doesn't have the time to think about it now, she hopes that Lingzhi can send this girl away quickly, she is very worried about Shiyun's situation, and the corpse demon doesn't know what happened......
"June, June, I also hope to get advice from my uncle." But it seems that the little girl in June is now going to let go, not only does she have no intention of going back, but she also takes the initiative to follow Lingzhi's words, obviously Lingzhi didn't expect that the nephew who was very deferential to him on weekdays would suddenly make such a bold request, he almost subconsciously, glanced at Wen Susu.
This glance made Wen Susu look at him and was shocked, because what followed him was naturally the eyes of June who wanted to kill, and now Wen Susu almost wanted to show his bitterness with his head, you said Lingzhi, what he was doing at this time, could it be that the little girl's fingers were not close enough to let her poke into her nostrils next time, please, okay, she is innocent! Adversity...... She doesn't seem to be innocent, but her reason for toppling Lingzhi is also very upright, and it was a lifeline for her to go home......
No matter how manic Wen Susu was in her heart, her face was still calm and paralyzed, so Lingzhi also turned back at a glance, he did not refuse June's request, but said: "If Senior Brother Yuanzhi also means this, Senior Brother June will come to look for me on weekdays." Lingzhi smiled very gently, but intentionally or unintentionally bit the word "weekday" a little heavier.
June's anticipation was extinguished at once, and she wanted her master to agree? Unless she betrayed her daughter and threw herself into the Lingshu, it would be almost the same, after all, the relationship between the eight branches in the Valley of Hundred Medicine was not as harmonious as that of Kongqing and Lingzhi. Lingzhi's reason is very legitimate, so she doesn't even have a chance to fight for it, and Lingzhi's meaning is also very clear, if she wants to fight, the person she should find is her master. But just give up? June glanced at Wen Susu who was standing there in the background again, she was unwilling, because Lingzhi's difference with this woman was too obvious, so obvious that she had never seen him so much to anyone in the seven years she had known Lingzhi.
Ling Zhizhi stopped making a sound in June, and wanted to ask her to go back first, after all, there was still ...... in the bamboo house It's just that before he could speak, the thing in the room was even more anxious than him, "Woo-" A howl belonging to a fierce beast made several people present change their faces, and June was stunned before he could react, but Wen Susu looked at Lingzhi fiercely.
Isn't there poetry in that room? And what is it that makes such a noise?!
