This forest is not very large, and it didn't take Du Wenlin half a day to walk out.

Looking back again, I couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

If it weren't for the woman in white to save her, it wouldn't be long before there would have been a pile of white bones under the ancient tree.

When I think of the woman in white, I naturally think of my current situation, and I can't help but feel gloomy.

With the blood of another race flowing in his body, is he still a normal person?

He was in a trance.

Forget it, don't think too much, at least for now.

I thought about it, and my mood was much more relaxed, and I chanted loudly:

"Dreaming of Yanshui Road in the south of the Yangtze River,

Walk to the south of the Yangtze River,

Don't meet with the departed.

There is no place to say anything in sleep,

Feel melancholy and dispel the soul. ”

The setting sun has already met the mountains to the west.

Ahead is a small town.

There is a small inn to the east of town.

There are not many customers in the shop.

At the counter sat a young proprietress lady.

"Childe is here, sit down and rest your feet first, and have a cup of tea." The graceful figure of the proprietress has appeared in front of Du Wenlin.

Du Wenlin sniffed slightly, there seemed to be a special breath, if there was nothing, this breath seemed to come from telepathy.

Glancing up at the proprietress of the hostess, she may have had too much grease powder on her face, Bai Sensen's.

In the blood-red lips, a mouthful of sharp and snow-white teeth,

The green skirt wrapped the mature body, which should have made any man miss it, but it made Du Wenlin feel inexplicably frightened.

"Childe is coming alone?" She gently lifted her lips and lowered her head in question.

A fragrance hits the face, making people dizzy.

After the fragrance, there seems to be a faint smell of fishiness.

Du Wenlin sniffled:

"Well, I'm alone."

"Okay, prepare a good room for Childe." As he spoke, he swayed and floated back again.

Under the candlelight, Du Wenlin held the book and read "Mencius" softly:

"Those who enjoy the people's joy will also enjoy the people's joy. Those who are worried about the people, the people are also worried。。。。。。。 ”

The drums on the street had already sounded, and Du Wenlin stretched his waist and prepared to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door, and a woman's voice came:

"Did Childe sleep?"

It was the voice of the hostess.

"Not yet, is there something wrong?"

Before he could finish speaking, the door had been gently pushed open.

A burst of fragrance flashed in, and the proprietress turned and slammed the door again.

Smiling like a flower, he moved his delicate body lightly and sat opposite Du Wenlin.

"Madame, please say something!"

"May I ask where Childe is from?"

"Xiaosheng is a native of Wujiang, Suzhou."

"Are you also going to the provincial capital to catch the exam?"

"Yes."

"It's not April yet, isn't it a bit early?" The proprietress put her right hand on her cheek, staring at Du Wenlin with her eyes and asked.

"My parents were worried about the noise at home, so I went to the provincial capital early to find a clean place and devote myself to studying."

"The rent in the provincial capital is expensive, so you might as well live with me. In the future, the rent can also be saved for you. The proprietress had wavy eyes and a smile on her face.

Du Wenlin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, blood gushed upward, and his face turned red.

My mind was full of the smiling face of the bewitching woman in front of me.

The lady's smile is even more seductive.

He stood up, walked to Du Wenlin's side, and reached out to take Du Wenlin's head into his arms.

Du Wenlin could feel her cold lips pressed against his neck.

Suddenly, the door opened silently, and even the deadbolt inside was somehow opened.

A white figure floated in, long hair covering his face.

When the proprietress saw the man in white, she trembled and asked suspiciously:

"Sanniang, why are you here?"

"Hello six girls! Long time no see," Sanniang greeted the proprietress with her.

"yes, everybody's busy. It's been a long time. "The owner's voice is unnatural.

Sanniang pointed at Du Wenlin:

"He's my child, you probably don't know him."

Hearing this, the proprietress spread her hand, embarrassed, and said:

"I'm sorry, the water almost washed away the Dragon King Temple."

As he spoke, he walked out, and said as he went:

"You two have a good chat, if you need a supper, let me know."

With the departure of the proprietress, Du Wenlin's brain slowly sobered up.

Sanniang sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Du Wenlin sitting on the edge of the bed:

"Just now, if I came a little late, you might be in danger."

Du Wenlin seemed to be a little sober, and asked in a panic:

"Why?"

"You've just become a member of our race, and you're not familiar to everyone, but she thinks you're a normal human. Like you, she's a 'future star' just starting out. Seeing Du Wenlin's puzzled face, Sanniang continued:

"After ordinary people's blood is transfused into their bodies, although they can obtain the super abilities of the race, it also brings a problem, which will produce a psychological dependence on blood, and blood has become the best delicacy for them. So she was trying to suck your blood. ”

"Won't I be like that in the future?" Du Wenlin's tone was impatient, even a little angry.

"So far, we don't know exactly what caused this situation, maybe it's because our blood is in conflict with the blood of ordinary people. This desire is especially true on full moon nights. She sighed softly.

Du Wenlin now realized that it was the night of the full moon, and the bright moonlight illuminated the entire window.

"For this reason, our ancestors, after countless generations of painstaking study, came up with a set of meditation and cultivation methods to combat this demonic nature. By practicing this method, you will gradually control your desire to suck blood. This desire comes both from the flesh and from the demons of the heart. ”

"Do I have to learn how to meditate and practice too?" Du Wenlin understands it at one point.

"yes, I'll teach you later. You've just come in, and you don't need it yet. ”

"Didn't this lady practice those methods?"

"She started much earlier than you, but she was lazy and couldn't practice with her heart, and she was also negligent in managing the people she was introducing, so she still can't get rid of her demons. She and I are not in the same family, and I can't discipline her."

"You said that the boss lady and you are not the same family, do you also have a family?"

"We have roots in the mountains of the lake, where we have lived for thousands of years, and over time there have been internal strife, infighting, and later split into six families. Today, six families are scattered throughout the country. She paused, and seeing that Du Wenlin was listening carefully, she continued:

Each family has its own surname, which is the same as the surname of ordinary people. Our family name is 'Dugu', and I am the third in the family, so everyone calls me Dugu Sanniang. ”

"Which family does the proprietress here belong to?"

"She belongs to the 'Gu' family, and I don't know her original surname. Our family has always had a good relationship with their family, and everyone is familiar with it. She is the sixth oldest in her family, and we call her the Sixth Girl. ”

"According to you, I, like her, belong to the same 'Future Star', and can join your family?"

Du Wenlin has developed a strong interest in this ethnic group and is eager to learn more about its secrets.

"Absolutely! In the future, I will take you into our family and get to know the brothers and sisters in the family. Speaking of this, Sanniang swept the hair in front of her with her hand.

This was the first time she showed her true colors, and Du Wenlin found that the woman who called him a child was not old, even very young.

A fair-skinned face, with good facial features and a kind face.

Remembering that she once said that they could reach five hundred years old, she couldn't help but ask:

"You, how old are you?"

Sanniang looked at him with a smile:

"You can't always call me that way in the future, I am your mother by blood, because you also have my blood and soul in your body. If you find it difficult to call Mom, you can call me Sanniang. ”

Although he already understood his relationship with Sanniang, he suddenly had an extra mother, and Du Wenlin still couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden.

However, psychologically speaking, he does not reject it, and his sense of intimacy is even getting stronger and stronger.

This kind of intimacy is the kind of affection that the child has for his mother.

After a pause, he still spoke:

"Sanniang!"

Sanniang's face was full of smiles:

"I'm about three hundred years old, which is equivalent to middle age compared to humans."

Du Wenlin's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Sanniang couldn't help but smile when she saw Du Wenlin's surprised expression:

"In the dark, there is a certainty. If you get a part, you have to lose a part. Although we can live to be 500 years old, we must live in darkness forever. And a 'future star' like you has the super power of our race and the freedom to live in the sun, but the life cycle is not as long as ours. ”

Du Wenlin felt a little lost after hearing this.

How many people in the past dynasties racked their brains and worked hard in pursuit of immortality, but in the end they could not withstand the devastation of the years and became a piece of loess.

I didn't expect that what humans couldn't pursue was realized in their race.

It's a pity that I can't enjoy their longevity.

She looked at the expression on Liu Wenlin's face, seemed to understand his heart, and said with a smile:

"You were transformed through my blood transmission, so your life characteristics are still a little different from mine. However, although you can't live to 500 years, you can live past 200 years without any problem. ”

Du Wenlin's heart is slightly balanced, "Life is rare for seventy years", compared to ordinary human beings, two hundred years is a lot.

She looked up at the moon outside the window:

"That's all for tonight, there will be more opportunities for our mother and mother to meet in the future, and we will talk slowly when we have time, I have to go back." As he spoke, he didn't see what she did, and he was already standing on the ground.

Seeing that she was leaving, Du Wenlin had a faint reluctance in his heart, as if his mother wanted to stay away:

"When will I see you again?"

Sanniang smiled and said:

"I can't say for sure, but I'll come to see you often."

When he walked to the door, he turned back and said:

"It's late, stop studying, we have to go tomorrow."

After speaking, he quietly left.

This is the second time that Sanniang has appeared, and it is still a mystery to Du Wenlin, even if she has already introduced some information about herself.

Could it be that in the future, as she said, she will have an eternal mother-son relationship with her?

Is this relationship a blessing or a curse for me?

Everything is unknown, the future is uncertain, what's the point of thinking more at this time?

It only adds to the anxiety.
