After leaving the auction house, the two of them left and found a clean post house in the city to rest.

The moonlight softly poured into the windows and doors, casting a thin silver color on the room.

Huo Nindong sat on a low stool with the four-elephant broad-eared fox in his arms, and found a stone bowl for it to drink from the storage bag.

The fox was a carnivore, and she thought that she would have to buy him some meat at the market tomorrow to take as dry food.

The white fingers stroked the soft golden fur of the little fox, and the little one nested in her arms, squinting and looking pleasant, and the big fluffy tail wagging behind him.

After taking care of the fox and taking it back into the spirit beast bag, Huo Rongdong looked up and saw Qi Ci still leaning against the window with his arms crossed.

The man's soul-hooking phoenix eyes stared at her fixedly, and he didn't know how long he had been watching.

Huo Rongdong was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't Gongzi cultivate?" ”

He doesn't need to sleep, and usually bathes in the moon at night to meditate and refresh his spirits.

Qi Ci got up and walked to her, propped one hand on the table, and looked down at her: "Have you forgotten something?" ”

What forgot.

Huo Rendong subconsciously thought about it, and didn't forget anything, the Bigu Dan, wound medicine, and so on that should be purchased were purchased.

When she raised her eyes and saw the white hair hanging down from the man in front of her, she suddenly remembered something, and her face turned red.

Fang Cai only cared about the little fox and forgot the gift he promised to give him. Huo Rongdong hurriedly took out the wooden box from the storage bag, opened it and saw that the rainbow was shining and shining like water.

Since it was said that it was a gift for him, it must be given by hand.

Huo Rongdong took the flying rainbow and stretched out his hand to test it.

Qi Ci was tall, just standing motionless with her arms crossed, looking at her condescendingly, clearly not wanting to do it herself.

Even if she stretched out her arms, she couldn't touch the top of his hair, at most she hooked her neck, but she was a lonely man and a widow, and that posture was too ......

Huo Rongdong bit his lip: "Childe, you lower yourself." ”

Qi Ci couldn't help laughing, he bent down: "So? ”

In this way, the vision of the two was close, and Huo Rongdong could reach his hair, but the pair of phoenix eyes in front of him were too pressing, staring at her directly, making people's hearts beat faster.

Huo Rongdong secretly took a deep breath, pressed the man to sit on the low stool, and turned himself to stand behind him.

"Childe, don't move."

Her slender and nimble fingers ran softly through his hair, splitting a few strands from the sides, tying them into a bunch at the back of his head, and wrapping them around with a rainbow as a headband.

The silver hairband reflected the long snow-white hair, which made his original uninhibited temperament a little more restrained.

Qi Ci didn't care what kind of dress he was wearing, all his attention was only on the hands that stroked his hair.

It's too soft...... The scalp is itchy and unbearable. And because the distance is too close, the fragrance in the girl's sleeve hits people and ushers in a throbbing.

The throbbing went straight down from the head, lingering and compassionate.

It was rare that the atmosphere was just right, and Huo Rendong wanted to take care of his hair, but he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.

Qi Ci's eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but stand up: "It's late, you can rest." ”

So saying, he flew out of the house and sat on the trunk of a tree outside.

The night was deep and dewy, the moonlight was cold, and the man was motionless like a sculpture with his back to the wing, leaving Huo Honeysuckle alone with an inexplicable expression.

What's going on?

The second day returned to normal, Qi Ci did not mention the events of last night again, the two of them purchased some supplies from Lucheng, and set off to continue west.

At first, you could still see one or two small sects, surrounded by monks in different costumes. Later, the road gradually became remote, not to mention the city, and even the vegetation gradually thinned, and there were only a few small villages such as Xingzi settlements.

Today, they haven't even been populated for three days.

Qi Ci was not worried, he was still calm, and his answer was: "The destination is in a deserted place, calculate the time, it's fast." ”

The broad-eared fox Ahri doesn't like to stay in the spirit animal bag, prefers to nest on Huo Nuckold's shoulder, it is like a fur scarf.

It's also strange to say that Ahri is extremely clingy to Huo Honeysuckle, but he is afraid of Qi Ci, and if he gets closer, he will tremble.

Huo Honeysuckle took out the jerky from her sleeve and fed it, Ahri's wet little tongue gently licked her hand.

Qi Ci glanced at the little beast and didn't say anything.

The two continued to walk along the rocky bare mountain road, and when they crossed a hill, Huo Rongdong suddenly saw the smoke curling, and she said happily.

"Childe, look, there's a small city ahead!"

In the gray mountains, there is a green field and rows of houses, all of which are not human cities.

Although the monk has Bigu Dan and will not be hungry or thirsty, Huo Rendong has been an ordinary person for eighteen years, and he still wants to sit down and drink hot soup.

Seeing the crowd, Huo Rongdong almost rushed over, and Qi Ci followed behind her without leaving an inch.

When I got closer, I realized that this city was extremely small, only about half the size of River City, and it could only be regarded as a town.

There is a plaque hanging on the tower of the city gate, and the word "polder" is written.

Outside the door, there were only two patrolling soldiers, black and thin, with crude and old weapons, and their armor was tattered.

There is a tea shed at the three-way intersection outside the city, and a young man is cooking tea, and the white smoke is emitting from the boiler, revealing a strong atmosphere of life.

"Shopkeeper, have a pot of hot tea, and then serve some food."

"Okay!" The man shouted, turned around and filled the stove with another handful of firewood.

Huo Nindong found the outermost table and sat down, and put Ahri in the corner of the table. But for some reason, the little guy actually blew up and kept screaming in a warning way.

Huo Rongdong was very strange, she looked around at the guests in the tea shed, they were all dusty farmers, nothing special.

Could it be that an enemy is chasing you?

Qi Ci beside him didn't raise his eyelids: "It's just an ordinary villager." ”

He said so, and Huo Rongdong was relieved. At this time, the teashed shopkeeper came over with a stoneware pot and two small bowls, and wiped the table with ease.

"Guest, your tea."

"There are only wild vegetable buns in the store, so we need to wait a while."

Huo Rongdong took the bowl: "Thank you." ”

She poured out two bowls of tea, and there were only scattered black tea foam floating in the tea soup, which looked very shabby.

Huo Honeysuckle blew hot air, took a sip, and almost didn't spit it out.

Qi Ci: "What? ”

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and frowned: "It's not tea, it's dead leaf residue." ”

The two of them stood up and turned back vigilantly, and saw that the tea shop shopkeeper who had just spoken was still busy in front of the stove, and he was busy putting a drawer on the steamer, as if he did not deliberately give them a drink of dead leaves.

And the leaves on the other tables were the same tea, and those guests drank it freely, and they didn't feel any difference at all.

"Something isn't right."

Qi Ci's eyes narrowed, these peasants were stunned, but they didn't talk to each other sitting at the table, like puppet puppets, but there were no traces of manipulation on their bodies.

"Childe, look!" Huo Rongdong was shocked, the tea shed shop, the steamer and cage drawer were all stones!

Before the words fell, Qi Ci grabbed Huo Rongdong's waist and turned around to leave.

But before they could leave, the two suddenly felt a whirlwind.

It was dark in front of me, and I lost consciousness.

*

A bolt of lightning swept across the sky.

Under the rumbling thunder was the sound of rain drops that were getting faster and faster.

Huo Nindong got up and wanted to close the window of the grass hut, but her hand just touched the rough wooden window frame, and suddenly took it back.

Something seems to be wrong.

The wind and raindrops slapped in front of her, and the moisture drenched her hair and eyelashes.

Outside the window is a familiar farmhouse courtyard, with a few chickens huddled in a wet chicken coop, and a vegetable garden made of gravel, growing food rations for survival.

The words 'Little Grass Village' came out of my chest.

Huo Rendong turned his head again and looked at the earthen thatched house where he was staying.

The furnishings in the house are simple, whether it is a low old table, chair and bench, or an open water tank, everything is so familiar.

An unfinished men's robe is placed along the clay kang, a white cloth with green silk threads embroidered with a pattern of green bamboo, which is a scribe's robe......

My parents have long since passed away, and I don't have any brothers in the family, so who are I going to do it?

Huo Rongdong couldn't think of it, her head seemed to be foggy, wooden, and a little dull.

Outside the window, the rain began to fall again, pouring down the eaves tiles and down the earthen walls to the already potholed ground.

The house began to leak, and the quilt was the most valuable thing in the house, so you should never get wet! Huo Rongdong woke up like a dream, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to save his belongings.

It was getting late, and she lit a candle.

Every household in the village lit a cooking smoke, and the beauty in the jinghai cloth skirt bent down in front of the stove, carefully divided half a bowl of brown rice, poured it into the pot and boiled, waiting to be boiled into a pot of porridge.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside the house.

A young man barged in and shouted, "Honeysuckle, great, my father promised us to marry when we go back!" ”

With a "bang", the water scoop in Huo Rongdong's hand fell to the ground.

She turned her head sharply and saw a delicate man's face, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and a clever calculation, this face could not be more familiar.

Han Lu was puzzled: "What's the matter, are you too happy?" ”

He stepped forward to hold her hand, and said excitedly: "Honeysuckle, this is a wilderness, I really can't bear you to do farm work so hard every day, the clan has already discussed a good day and an auspicious day, as long as we go back, we can get married immediately, we don't have to starve here anymore." What dowry do you want soon? Gold, pearls, ......"

Listening to this remark, which was no different from the past, Huo Rendong didn't believe it in his heart a thousand, ten thousand.

The turbulent memories of that moment churned in her mind, and she remembered everything clearly. Fiancé Han Lu, Han Family, and Hongdan cursed......

But that's it, she was horrified to find that her body couldn't move.

Even if Han Lu grabbed her hands and enjoyed the beautiful days of being an immortal master in the future, she couldn't break free.

Huo Rongdong could only hear 'himself' speak slowly, looking virtuous and virtuous.

"Han Lang, since I have made a lifelong promise to you, I wish to be a couple for the rest of my life, and I must be based on your wishes."

Her hand pinched the blood marks in the palm of her hand, but she still had a smile on her face: "Let's clean up the fields and leave for Bai Yujing as soon as possible." ”
