Early in the morning, the schoolchildren who went to school passed by the mouth of Osmanthus Alley, and suddenly saw a daze back sword man standing at the mouth of the alley.

The schoolboy raised his hand in fright and hugged his head, and shouted: "Mother, the Eight Daoists of the Turtle King are here again!" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in the silent Osmanthus Alley, countless residents with their mouths and noses poked their heads out.

Some are even topless.

The Taoist looked at them suspiciously, and in the next moment, there were shovels, hoes, and all kinds of "murder weapons" in their hands.

The Taoist's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he was really frightened by this formation.

Although the residents who picked up the "murder weapon" have not moved yet, the Taoist understands that as long as he dares to take one more step in Osmanthus Lane, he will be greeted by countless "righteous sanctions" from heaven.

With a sigh, the Taoist shook his head and left with his back lonely.

"Hey, why did he leave?" The schoolchildren who hugged their heads and shouted widened their eyes, touched their frozen red noses, and looked at the back of the Taoist in the distance in confusion, "Forget it, go to school~"

Qin Fan, who was heading to Osmanthus Lane, happened to bump into the Taoist who was returning home.

"Dao Chief, what's wrong with you?" Although the Taoist gave him a very bad impression, in order to add money, Qin Fan still stepped forward to ask.

"Hey, I'm not welcome there." The Taoist was dejected.

Coincidentally, I don't welcome you either.

Qin Fan complained in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, with me accompanying you on behalf of the government, the residents of Osmanthus Lane don't dare to make a mistake." ”

I believe you're a ghost!

I almost died yesterday!

"No, the evil is gone."

The Taoist sighed, his tone was cold, and he said slowly: "It's no longer in Osmanthus Lane." ”

"What!?" Skinny Catcher was frightened, "So how should this be?" ”

The Taoist skimmed his eyes, sneered at some point, and dropped a word: "Wait." ”

Then he left without looking back.

"Wait?" "What are you waiting for?"

Fat and skinny, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, I don't know why.

"Wait?" Qin Fan was stunned for a while, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, his face was slightly pale, and his expression was sad.

What are you waiting for?

Wait for the next dead man.

……

After sleeping in the inn for one night, and after waking up and eating the breakfast Mo Bai bought, Mo Ying stood up and stretched out.

Well~

Although I can't sleep comfortably on my own earthen kang, I'm still barely okay.

Mo Ying: "Xiaobai, let's go back." ”

After a night, the smell of the house should have disappeared, and when I went back, I had to pick up a bucket of water and wash the floor.

led Mo Bai downstairs, and Mo Ying greeted the white-haired old man at the counter: "Gui Ye is early!" ”

Gui Ye raised his head and responded lightly: "Hmm." ”

In the inn, there are a few tables of people eating morning tea.

At the dining table, the servant gasped suddenly: "Hiss~ Look, master!" ”

Gongsun Changquan was puzzled: "What are you looking at?" ”

Servant: "Man! ”

Gongsun Changquan looked disdainful, and looked back in the direction of the servant's finger, "What's so good about men...... Hiss~"

The air temperature in the inn has risen a few points.

Gongsun Changquan was shocked.

This, how can there be such a good-looking man in this world!

This skin as white as the first snow, this delicate and delicate face, this soft and weak temperament.

How can Te Niang not be a woman!

Feeling the beauty of the prosperous age of the man in white, Gongsun Changquan hammered the table with a little resentment.

Sensing the uncomfortable gaze, Mo Bai tilted his head, and looked at the master and servant at the dining table in confusion, the eyes of the two were shining with a cannibalistic luster, looking at this side, their mouths were slightly open, and the head of the nest rested on the side of the mouth and did not move, and the saliva almost flowed out.

Mo Bai shrank behind Mo Ying, dodging the uncomfortable gaze.

"Xiaobai?" The sudden proximity startled Mo Ying, and the peeping master and servant shifted their gaze and naturally fell on her.

A feeling of discomfort that was seen through spread throughout her body, and Mo Ying also found the master and servant who were dining not far away, her body stiffened, and she shrank into Mo Bai's arms in fear.

The two of them leaned forward and shrank back, and their chests were directly against their backs.

Hmm~ How is Xiaobai's body cool?

Was it because I soaked in cold water yesterday?

Warm ...... Cold water.

Mo Ying was thinking wildly in her head. The actions of the two naturally fell into the eyes of the peeping master and servant.

"Ahem...... The ......servant retracted his eyes in embarrassment, bit his head, and whispered, "You seem to have scared them." ”

"Hey, you kid, why do the wicked sue first!" Gongsun Changquan blew his beard and glared.

"Xiao, Xiaobai," Mo Ying grabbed Mo Bai's hand in fear, Mo Bai looked at her with low eyebrows, and the girl's nervous appearance was a little cute.

Gently encircling the girl, Mo Bai took her out of the inn, and only let go of it when she was far away and could no longer see the shadow of the inn behind her.

Mo Ying was afraid: "Xiaobai, those two people are so scary." ”

Mo Bai: "Hmm. ”

His eyes are like greedy wolves, and he can eat people.

Mo Ying said: "The eyes are like a man-eating tiger. ”

Mo Bai nodded: "Mm-hmm." ”

Mo Ying was puzzled: "What are they looking at me, is there anything beautiful about me?" ”

“……”

"I'm so safe...... Could it be that they want to rob money? ”

“？”

Mo Bai blinked in confusion.

"White skin and beautiful appearance, bright eyes and good eyes", it is absolutely feasible to use it on the current Mo Ying, how can it be safe?

"They didn't follow, did they?"

Mo Bai shook his head.

"That's good."

Mo Ying sighed, patted her chest, and sighed: "You really have to pay attention to safety at all times when you go out." ”

She looked at Mo Bai and said solemnly: "Especially Xiaobai, you are so good-looking, you must pay attention to safety!"

I've heard adults say that some rich men like white and tender boys like you! ”

Mo Bai tilted his head, always feeling that there was something wrong with Mo Ying's words.

……

It was still early, the pedestrians in the market were scattered, and the winter sun rose late, so it happened to climb to the top of the city, and the mild daylight poured into the city, dispelling the dead silence of winter and giving the city a new vitality.

In the early stalls on the side of the road, in the sheds erected, the residents who gathered prematurely were discussing in the rising white air, and the content of the discussion was nothing more than Osmanthus Lane and the dazzling fire clouds in the north last night.

Mo Ying listened to the details and asked Mo Bai: "Fire burns clouds, what fire burns clouds?" Was there a fire cloud last night? ”

Mo Bai was silent, there were pink red clouds inside the house, and outside the house, he didn't pay attention......

The vendor pushing the cart stopped at the side of the street in an open area, put up a sign, and arranged all kinds of new and strange playthings.

"Hey, it's early today, and I've grabbed a nice spot."

Mo Ying and Mo Bai happened to pass by.

Mo Bai saw the vendor pull out a white mask with a red pattern from the cart and hang it up.

He stopped and grabbed Moying.

"Xiaobai?"

"Mask."

"Do you want it?"

"Hmm."

Mo Ying turned sideways and looked at the white patterned mask hanging high on the vendor's cart, which looked quite beautiful.

Xiaobai is so eye-catching, he really has to buy him a mask to cover his face.

Hopefully not too expensive.

The vendor had already noticed the two people who had stopped, and his eyes fell on Mo Bai's face and paused for a while, until Mo Ying came to the stall to block his view, he came back to his senses, embarrassedly placed the marionette in his hand, and asked, "This young lady, do you have anything you want?" ”

"How do you buy this mask?"

"That's what you asked?" The vendor took off the white mask he was hanging, "It's not expensive, it's eight cents." ”

Bawen?

Isn't it expensive?

You can go for a bowl of wonton!

Glancing at the mask in the vendor's hand, and then looking back at Mo Bai who was looking forward to it, Mo Ying gritted her teeth and paid for the mask.

"Thank you for your patronage, what else do you like?"

"No," Mo Ying took the mask and explicitly refused, "I only need this mask." ”

Turning around, she handed the mask to Mo Bai.

It has a white background and a red pattern on the left side of the face.

It's a very ordinary mask.

Mo Bai took the mask and didn't put it on his face for the first time, but set his eyes on the vendor's newly placed marionette.

"This son, but you like it?"

The vendor squinted, his gaze fell on Mo Bai over the ink warbler, he lifted the wooden stick and manipulated the puppet with silk threads to make movements, waving, stabbing, clapping, and turning his heels.

The inanimate puppet is manipulated by silk threads to make flexible and vivid movements.

"Xiaobai?" Mo Ying called out to him, and she found that Mo Bai was fascinated, if Mo Bai wanted to buy another marionette...... It's not impossible, but she'll be in pain.

"Hmm," Mo Ying's cry worked, and Mo Bai returned from his state of distraction, and glanced faintly at the marionette manipulated in the vendor's hand, as well as the thin thread that manipulated the puppet, "Go back." ”

"Hey, don't you want it, Childe? Very cheap, two strings of copper coins! "The vendors are trying to hold on.

Two strings of copper coins?

You're here to rob!

Mo Ying's eyes widened in shock, making sure that Mo Bai didn't think about the marionette, and pulled him away quickly, slipping away.

Back at home, Mo Ying picked up the bucket and went out, "Xiaobai, you stay at home well, I'll be back soon." ”

Mo Bai sat on the earthen kang and looked at the black marks on the ground, can ordinary water wipe it clean?

He didn't know.

When Mo Ying came back with water and tried it, he would know, and if it couldn't be cleaned, he would wash it again.

The girl is idle, and instead of letting her sit in the room and stare at herself in a daze, it is better to let her find something to do and not waste her time.

Putting the mask aside, Mo Bai took out the figure dragon man from his sleeve and rested it on the earthen kang.

The blue ice on the outside did not melt, it still existed, and through the ice, Mo Bai carefully looked at the figure-sized dragonman.

White horns, vigorous tail, a pair of balls in front of him are bulging, slender and vigorous legs, an obvious vest line on the abdomen, a small waist, and beautiful buttocks.

Staring at the triangular area under the belly of the figure dragon man for a while, Mo Bai buckled his head.

In vain, a glimmer of heaven.

Strange good-looking.

It's a pity it's a dead dragon.

"Hey~"

Mo Ying came back with a bucket of water, picked up a rag and dipped it in water, and lay on the ground to wipe the ground.

Tired and raised her head to wipe her sweat, she asked Mo Bai: "Xiaobai, why do you want this female dragon man?" She's all dead, what's the use? ”

Mo Bai looked at the ink warbler washing the floor.

What is the purpose of going up the mountain to find this dead female dragon?

Eighty percent of it is to eat.

Although she has been dead for a long time, there is still a lot of residual energy in the female dragon's body, and if you absorb it, you can restore some strength.

Mo Bai told her truthfully.

(ᄋᄆᄋ Chuan, eat?)

The ink warbler was dumbfounded.

"Hmm," Mo Bai nodded slowly, and said terrible words with an innocent expression: "Dragon's back, delicious." ”

As if to evoke some kind of memory, he licked the corners of his mouth with a retrospective face.

Mo Ying was stunned and froze in place, and the rags in her hands froze.

"How can Xiaobai eat it?" Throat rolling, Mo Ying asked tentatively.

Mo Bai tilted his head and glanced at the figure dragon man who was resting aside, if Mo Ying asked him before this morning, he would be able to show Mo Ying what "three mouths and one dragon" were on the spot.

But now, it seems that there are other better uses for eating this white dragon than the tyrannical thing.

"Xiaobai?"

"Well, I won't eat it."

"Huh, why?"

Mo Bai didn't speak, it was too troublesome to explain, so he just waited until it was done and showed it directly to Mo Ying.

……

In the snow-covered Osmanthus Lane, yesterday's murder does not seem to have affected the daily lives of residents.

The old people should gossip and gossip, the adults should work, and the children should go to school.

The death of the man in the Liu family has even become a joke in the mouths of neighbors.

In the private school, a short recess.

"Hey, Ergou, your father is dead, why aren't you sad at all?"

"Sad? He would drink and gamble, and every time he came home, he would grab money. ”

"But he's your father!"

"I think the second uncle is better than him."

"What?"

"It's nothing, although it's not sad, but it's still a little lonely after all, after all, I'll never see him alive in the future."

"......" The companion felt that this topic could not be continued, so he changed the subject and said, "Mr. is leaving." ”

Liu Ergou glared, "Isn't Mr. still in good spirits, why are you leaving?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that, you didn't know if you came late today, Mr. said that he was going to leave Liangdu and go back to the capital, and the private school would not be held in the coming year."

"Mr. is going to the capital?"

"That's right, I'll leave at the beginning of spring next year at the latest."

"Yes."

"Why is your reaction so light?"

The companion wondered: "If we can't hire a new teacher next year, we will have to go to the school, and we will have to travel a long way to go there, and the most important thing is that we may have to separate when we get there." ”

Liu Ergou looked at his companion with erratic eyes, his gaze crossed several people, fell on the girl in the red cotton jacket, and said bluntly: "You are going to separate from Little Peach Blossom, right?" ”

"You...... No," the companion was annoyed, "what nonsense are you talking about! ”

"Pillar, listen to my advice, the daughter of the General's Mansion, we, the ordinary people, can't afford to climb high."

"Are you sick? I won't talk to you anymore! ”

……

Another night of snow.

In the dark night where you can't see your fingers, the icy cold wind penetrates into every neighborhood and alley.

The woman curled up and hid in the corner, her delicate little white shoes were covered with mud, and her messy hair was dirty and unkempt, and she hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

She was unclothed, her body was blue and purple, and her original luxurious clothes were tattered and ragged, as if she had been violently torn by someone.

Tattered clothes could not stop the bitter cold of winter, and the relentless cold wind deprived her of her last body temperature.

In the corner of the alley, the mutilated flower broke its branches and dropped its last petals in the cold and cold wind.

The blood-colored mist slowly lingered around it, and the blood mist gradually melted into the woman's body.

In the night, the dead woman stood up.

She was dressed in red, and she looked like a ghost.

……

The snow was all over the building, and the white fox body with drooling at the corner of its mouth trembled, it got up, its hair stood on end, and it looked at the master's chamber vigilantly, baring its teeth and grinning.

In the wing room, the two people in the clouds and rain stopped suddenly, and Mo Bai pulled up the futon to cover Xue Rongji's snow-white and jade-like delicate body.

He looked at the uninvited guest in the wing, and for the first time his unpleasant face showed unhappiness on his calm face.

"Sorry to bother you both."

The visitor's face was a little playful, turned around, and said quietly: "I heard that you are looking for me?"

It just so happens that I have something to look for you.

Let's make a deal.

How is it? ”
