As soon as the sun set, the dark night covered the land, and the sky was dark and starless, except for a cloud in the west.

In the yellow mud house, the sound of flint and steel crackled and burst out of sparks.

Half a day later, the kerosene lamp was finally lit, and the bean-sized fire was extinguished, and wisps of black smoke came out, and the smell was pungent.

But it doesn't matter, the house already stinks.

Xu Shan put the flint back in its place, patted the thick wooden pole behind the door, and pulled it a few times, but the wooden door did not move.

He felt a little relieved and looked around.

The house had just been inspected, and only the doors and windows were open, and the rest of the room was sealed.

If someone breaks the window and releases poison or smoke, he will either open the door and run out, or he will be smoked to death.

Now I can only gamble, the other party is the same as him, a poor bastard with a clean face, and he can't get such things as poisonous smoke.

After all, the other side would never know that he had been "hacked to death" once before.

So it's still very likely that you'll survive tonight.

He grabbed a handful of grass from the bed, folded it and used it as a hand pad, and changed the place of the stinking barrel beside the bed.

Then he went to open the white paper window and blew out the kerosene lamp.

A small cold breeze poured in, and the smoke drifted through the window to the outside.

The smell in the house is a little better.

Xu Shan stood in the dark room, looking out the window.

The doors and windows of the row of houses opposite were wide open, and kerosene lights were shining through.

It was bustling outside, with swaying figures standing together, mingling with the sounds of walking and talking.

After all, it's just dark, and it's still far from breaktime.

But maybe the bastard who wanted to split his head in the morning is now standing outside, quietly watching this side.

Xu Shan stood silently, and when the smell of kerosene smoke in the room had almost dissipated, he closed the window, and by the faint light that came in, he avoided the stinky wooden barrel, returned to the wooden plank covered with messy weeds, and lay down against the innermost wall until the back of his head was pillowed on his arm.

It was pitch black in front of him, and the stench in the room was thick again, and he closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep, so that he might wake up in the middle of the night and not kill him in his dreams.

But it's one thing to think about, and it's another thing to do.

It's dark early in the late autumn season, and it's just night, maybe it's not even seven o'clock, where can you sleep?

And right now he is risking the possibility of being killed, and just thinking about this makes it impossible to feel sleepy.

What's more, the smell of the room made him want to vomit, and the weedy plank bed under him also hurt and itched on his back.

With so many reasons added up, it's strange to be able to fall asleep.

Xu Shan endured the discomfort and turned over, and the smell of dead grass and dust under his body suddenly came to his face.

Although it is invisible, it must have kicked up dust.

For no reason, he thought of what Zhao Tieshan had said during the day: The disciples of the outer courtyard of the Martial Academy lived in spacious large tiled houses, and they slept on cotton mattresses...... It's so much better than sleeping on a grass nest!

The premise of becoming a disciple of the outer court must be the boiling blood realm,

The Boiling Blood Realm is not afraid of evil fog, it can also resist evil qi, there is a better living treatment, and more importantly, it also includes the assignment of work!

It is tearful to encounter such a good thing in your lifetime!

And if he has a boiling blood realm, he will definitely be able to kill the bastard outside who is thinking about splitting his head!

As long as there is a boiling blood realm......

After living for almost eighteen years, Xu Shan has never envied or longed for anything, but this time, he really wants to become a boiling blood realm.

Pity......

Xu Shan sighed, from a realistic point of view, it should be impossible.

He doesn't know anything about fist and foot kung fu, let alone what boiling blood is, and even now, it still sounds a bit ethereal.

According to the rules of the Martial Academy, if you can't reach the Boiling Blood Realm within a year, you will be driven away.

Zhao Tieshan said today that they are all students who are about to turn one year old......

Xu Shan never felt that he was anything different from ordinary people, so it was basically impossible.

Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, even if he doesn't leave, this place will take him away.

But it didn't matter, he wanted to run.

As for what it would be like after leaving the Martial Academy, he couldn't imagine it, and he didn't care, he just wanted to live through tonight for now.

He tore off the cloth shirt on his body and pulled out a small cloth bag wrapped in layers of coarse cloth from the most intimate clothes, and the white jade pendant was firmly tied inside.

The jade pendant is related to whether he can go home or not, so he naturally has to be very careful to keep it.

He fumbled to untie the pieces of cloth and untie the rope that tied the mouth.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light came out of the mouth.

He was stunned, and the whole person bounced up from the bed in an instant, his eyes were big and round, his hands trembled, he opened his pocket, and poured it into his hand, once, twice.

His hands sank.

In the palm of the hand, the glimmer of light emitted by the small white jade pendant was clear, and it was as smart as water.

Although the light was so faint that it could not penetrate even a few layers of cloth, it was similar to what I had seen when I returned home before.

But it did shine!

It's so cute......

Xu Shan looked at it stupidly.

If it's lit, why is it lit?

He was instantly ecstatic, eager to scream and turn a few heels in place.

"Can you go home? Isn't it possible to go home? ”

He couldn't lie down, so he rolled over and jumped off the plank bed, waving two fists indiscriminately.

Just like that, after a long period of ecstasy, he calmed down, held the jade pendant tightly in his right hand, and muttered, "Why did you suddenly light up?" Why? First out of the light, then out of myself...... Today, today, I almost got caught in the evil fog on the road, went to the county office, met Wang Tou'er, and went to the corpse village...... The jade pendant lights up, it must have something to do with these three! So what's the point? Evil Mist? Wang Tou'er? Or is it a mortuary? Hey, how do you feel that these people are still quite evil, it seems that there is a little possibility! ”

Let's not talk about the evil fog first, according to Ding Sihai's statement, it is the soul of a dead man, and the evil qi escaping from the body of the treacherous spirit or something, anyway, it is an evil sect.

And Wang Tou'er's words, the colorful giant tiger that suddenly appeared in the morning with a bare head almost half the size of his body, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good stubble, maybe Wang Tou'er is some kind of trick master himself, anyway, it is also evil.

That giant tiger is probably a treacherous spirit similar to a water ghost, or even more terrifying than a water ghost.

As for the corpse village, not to mention it......

A new thought suddenly popped up in Xu Shan's heart: Could it be related to all this? To be precise, the glow of the jade pendant is actually related to the treacherous spirit! Evil Mist, Wang Tou'er, Mortar Village, and Mortar Village may also have ...... Because there are strange and terrifying things like weird spirits in this world, so the jade pendant brought me here...... Damn, this logic makes sense! Try it tomorrow, tomorrow, and you'll see if that's the case......"

Xu Shan is in a good mood, and he will go to Wang Tou'er tomorrow! That's great! I have to perform well tomorrow, maybe I can try to follow him all the time......

He really wanted to see dawn right now.

He stuffed the jade pendant back into the cloth bag, wrapped it in cloth again, hid it close to his body, and patted it with his hands all the time.

The light on the jade pendant is not too bright, and it may not be able to save him and take him home, but at least it is much more reassuring than just now.

"If I could really go back...... Well? He thought of something again, and his face was much uglier again.

I almost forgot that there was a red dress floating in the house!

If you don't want to deal with this, it seems like a dead end when you go back!

God, I'm going to kill me with a thunderbolt!

Xu Shan scolded the street in his heart.

"Alas, it would be nice if I could bring the king back, although it is terrible, but it is a big catcher, and the duty is to eliminate violence and peace......"

It's a pity, just think about it.

Let's not talk about what to do, whether he can do it, if he really dares to fight the idea of the king's head, the other party will stare at him, he will be reincarnated first.

"Gotta figure it out...... There must be another way! Don't be afraid ......."

Xu Shan's right hand gently patted his chest, so that the panic weakened, and he regained his senses and thought about it.

"Run away as soon as you get back! Then find the inspection department...... If you can't escape, you can ...... the tiger landing."

He muttered, his gaze becoming more determined, then rolled over and lay down on the plank bed, closed his eyes, and curled up.

There was much less footsteps and talking outside, and with a few sounds of the door closing, it was completely silent, except for the occasional dog barking in the distance, but soon, even the dog barking was gone.

Xu Shan's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and his breathing began to become long.

Outside, the night was darker, as thick as black ink.

Whispering footsteps rang out, and someone pushed the door down in the dark.

The wooden door does not move.

He turned slowly and walked towards the white paper window, the knife dragging on the ground with a stabbing sound.

Standing in front of the window, he raised the knife in his hand, pierced the window, and slowly slashed the knife, whether it was white paper or wood, it was cut.

The white paper window fell to the ground, and the cold air poured into the room, and Xu Shan woke up suddenly.

In the thick inky night, a pair of vertical pupils glowing with scarlet light stared straight at him, full of greed for food.

Here it comes!

It's really coming!

Xu Shan clearly felt that his breathing was tightening, thinking that he was choked by the neck, invisible fear overwhelmed him, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.

"It's me, open the door......" Scarlet vertical pupils stared at him, "Why don't you open the door?" Why not open? Why? Why! ”

Outside the window there was like a beast standing, roaring at him, louder and louder, more and more ruthless, more and more crazy.

Xu Shan covered his ears in pain, unable to tell whether all this was reality or hallucination.

He felt like his head was about to explode, and his eyes were hot.

There was a smell of blood in the house.

Those scarlet eyes were even more greedy.

Xu Shan got off the plank bed, but as if he was drunk, he could only stand against the wall, constantly shaking his head, trying to stay awake.

He stared at the overlapping windows, stared at the eyes outside the windows, and his face was hideous: "Fuck your mother!" ”

He jerked his foot and kicked it out, kicking a barrel that toppled over and poured down on the windowsill.

The already strong stench exploded in an instant.

Xu Shan's mind cleared, the dizziness and trembling disappeared, and then he heard the sound of vomiting outside the window.

"Hahaha! Delicious, right? Grandpa, I specially prepared it for you! ”

However, the next moment, Qingmeng's brilliance exploded from his chest.

In astonishment, the endless darkness instantly overwhelmed him.

……

Xu Shan sat up abruptly, gasping for air, sweat dripping down his chin, full of horror.

The fan overhead was still squeaking and twisting, and the lightning and thunder outside the window lit up the living room from time to time.

"I'm back!"

He was so excited that he burst into tears, breathing heavily while looking down at the jade pendant.

The jade pendant really stopped glowing.

The woman's low sobs suddenly rang out from the back of her head.

This time, Xu Shan didn't look back, he directly lifted the towel blanket on his body, and rushed directly to the security door, but as soon as he got together, the world was spinning in front of him.

A red cloth wrapped around his ankle and lifted him upside down.

He looked at the empty hem of the red dress, his heart beat like a drum in an instant, and shouted: "Spare your life!" If you have something to say, it's good to say! Everything can be said! Say it well! ”
