Xu Zhibai followed and got out of the car, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take two red fruits.

There was a familiar white mist in front of her, and she almost thought she was at the exit of the dungeon again.

The vast white fog is overwhelming, and the only thing that can be seen is white.

It was extremely quiet, and there was no sound except for their footsteps, heartbeats, or breathing.

It's silent.

The coachman, a short, middle-aged man, stretched out his hand and pointed to the striking black boundary monument at his feet, and bowed.

"The carriages and horses of the mortal world can't enter the fairy mountain, so they can only send the two young ladies here."

The boundary monument stood haphazardly in the mist, but this casualness had a majestic momentum that no one could ignore, as if no one could take half a step without its permission.

Xu Zhibai lifted the fog and leaned over to take a closer look.

The word Nanyang is written on it in elegant wild grass, and the pen walks the dragon and snake, and the momentum is arrogant.

"Humph!" Xu Weiwei glared at her and walked straight into the white mist.

Xu Zhibai ignored her, turned back to the coachman and thanked him: "It's the road, thank you for taking care of it, go back quickly." ”

"Miss, it's serious." Unexpectedly, the coachman shook his head and arched his hand at her, "The trial lasts for seven days, and the slave will wait at the inn at the exit until the trial is over, so let's go." ”

He bent down deeply: "May Miss be named on the gold list, and my wish will come true!" ”

This sentence is not high-pitched, but it seems to use great force, like a pilgrim believer, kneeling step by step, and trying to blurt out a prayer after reaching the top.

Xu Zhibai suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, much like the dripping spring rain on the wet and cracked soil, with a slight dampness.

The mist was cool and soft, blurring his countenance, leaving only the pale back of his head visible.

"Thank you."

She felt a little blurry in front of her, didn't say anything more, and raised her leg to cross the dividing line.

Behind the boundary monument is another world.

The fog slowly dissipated, revealing the world before her.

The evening light shone down on the village, and the bluestone paths were paved with green moss, and the roads were overgrown with weeds that almost flooded the roads.

The smoke drifts away in the wind, and the birdsong should be accompanied by the occasional barking of dogs, which is quiet and beautiful.

If those discordant voices ahead—

"Wei Wei, we've been waiting for you for a long time! Why did you bring that ugly bastard with you? ”

"Isn't she unable to draw breath into her body? Can you pass the first exam? ”

"You think I want to take her? It's not that my father insisted on stuffing her into Nanyang, and it is said that it cost a lot of money! I want to vomit when I look at that face along the way, I'm annoyed, go fast, go fast, bad luck! ”

"Why is your father—"

The voice gradually drifted away, and Xu Zhibai didn't deliberately chase it, slowed down, and walked through the path unhurriedly.

It was getting late, and every household was cooking on a fire, and few people were still outdoors.

A girl who went to the yard to hug Chai He saw that she was still wandering outside alone, and couldn't help but say hello: "Sister, you're from out of town, right?" ”

Younger sister?

She's only fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, called her sister?

Xu Zhibai thought that this was the name of the young girl by the locals, so he didn't care, and nodded: "Yes, do you know where you can stay here?" ”

The little girl hesitated: "You wait." ”

She carried Chai He into the house and shouted: "Auntie, a sister asked if she could stay overnight." ”

Then there was a slight conversation in the room.

It wasn't long before the little girl came out again, and she opened the fence that surrounded the yard.

"In the past, people from other places came to go to Zhang's house in the village, but recently there are too many people from other places, and the village chief's family can't live there. If you don't mind, you can stay in my house temporarily, my house is just me and my aunt, and you don't have to go to the village chief's house to squeeze. ”

"Thank you, then you're welcome."

The gate of the courtyard is a fence that this adult can easily step on, the yard is not large, there is a tall pear tree on the left, and there is a well on the right.

Xu Zhibai could see at a glance that the yard was cleaned very cleanly, and the dried herbs and cured meat were hung under the eaves, so as to prevent rain at night.

It seems that there is a lot of security here.

Before it was time to hold the lamp, the little girl lit the lantern hanging on the pear tree early.

The smell of food wafted from the kitchen, causing saliva to secrete frantically in the mouth.

Dinner is set in the courtyard, the stars and moon are brilliant in the summer night, the insects are chirping, the cool breeze is breezy, and it is very comfortable.

The little girl's name is Shu Ya, she has lived with her mother since she was a child, she is hardworking and enthusiastic, and she treats people and things appropriately.

Shu's mother looked a little cold and hard, always lowered her eyes, and basically didn't speak.

Shu Ya was chattering all night long, she was very talkative, and Xu Zhibai responded a few words and she could continue to talk for a long time.

"At this time of year, there are a lot of ...... in the village Outsiders like you are used to staying in the village for a while and then leaving. But today is really very much, I passed by the village chief's house in the morning, his family can't live, there are so many people. ”

"Hey, let me tell you, in fact, it's not good to live in the village chief's house at all, the village chief is very picky, and he ......"

She didn't say any more, and lowered her head to pull a few bites of rice.

Xu Zhibai waited for her to continue.

Sure enough, after a while, she swallowed the food in her mouth and came over again.

"Where are you from, I heard a few girls say today that the place where they live is very close to the Wuding Sea, is there really a big devil in that sea? Isn't it a big city where you are, I see that your clothes are so beautiful, you must be the daughter of someone's family, right? ”

These words were all about Xu Zhibai, and she couldn't answer two words at will and waited for Shu Ya to continue.

Today, she is wearing a mopping smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt that is very similar to Xu Weiwei's style, covered with a concubine-colored gauze dress, and the skirt of the action room is like a red plum blooming.

Her skin is already as cold and white as jade, and she is set off by a red plum blossom, and her skin is like condensed fat, and her eyes are bright and bright.

If it weren't for that hideous scar on his face.

I thought that Xu Weiwei called her ugly monster because she simply hated her, but just now she helped Shu Ya fetch water, and only then did she see her own reflection in the well.

The scarlet scar stretched from the corner of the right eye to the chin, and the scar was full of scars, and it looked terrifying.

Fortunately, Shu Ya didn't look at her face, and she was shocked when she saw it.

"I'm from the city, there...... There is nothing unusual, it is just a little lively, and the annual Shangyuan Festival lantern will be particularly beautiful. ”

Before she could react, she had already answered Shu Ya's question naturally, and the lively streets of the Shangyuan Festival and the dazzling lanterns came to mind.

Memories seem to exist in the depths of her mind, and every detail is vivid, waiting for her to recall and appreciate.

But about this scar......

Xu Zhibai reached out and touched the right side of her face, when did this scar exist, and what was it injured, she couldn't remember it at all.

It seemed like it had been there for as long as she could remember.
