CHAPTER XXXVII

Chu Ci woke up suddenly, patted his face, so strange, why did he fall asleep? Obviously, he came to the vigil in the middle of the night, turned his head to look at the window, the sun was shining outside, and the magpies on the branches were calling, it was really a good weather, Chu Ci was lazy, walked out of the door, and said hello to the village chief in the courtyard.

"Morning, village chief, get up so early."

"Lang Jun is early, isn't this thinking about catching the wind for Lang Jun today, get up early to prepare, Lang Jun can sleep peacefully yesterday?" The village chief put down the axe in his hand and responded with a smile.

"Not bad." Chu Ci twisted his neck, "I somehow fell asleep on the ground, and my neck hurts a little." ”

"I still have some bone-setting medicine in that house, get you some?" As he spoke, the village chief was about to go to the main house.

Chu Ci hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, it's a little awkward, it'll be fine for a while, no medicine is needed, you continue to be busy, I'll go outside." ”

"Okay, then you should pay attention to yourself." Seeing this, the village chief continued to pick up the axe to chop wood, Chu Ci walked out of the yard, and the sound of chopping wood sounded behind him, one after another, quite rhythmic.

The spring breeze is blowing, the smoke of the surrounding people is gradually rising, the noisy voices around the village are peaceful, Chu Ci looks at the scenery full of business, and always feels that he seems to have forgotten something, but it should not be very important, shaking his head, ignoring the strange feeling in his heart, Chu Ci walked around the village.

On the other side, Lin Xiao stood by the village pool, looking at the crystal clear pool water in front of him with some strange eyes, why did he sleep here?

"Brother, why are you still here in a daze, the village chief said that the banquet is about to start, let's go." A little girl in plain clothes stood on the side of the road and shouted to Lin Xiao, "Don't worry about catching fish, it's just spring, there can't be fish, come back quickly." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, it seems that he can't catch fish, and he thought that he could add more food today, it was a pity that those two foreign Lang Jun wanted to provide food and spirit stones to the village.

"Here we are." Lin Xiao shook his head and walked towards the little girl, "I waited all night, but I didn't wait for the fish." ”

"My brother is so stupid." The little girl laughed, "It's said that there can't be fish." ”

"But I did see a blue fish last night." A fragment flashed in Lin Xiao's mind, "A very big fish, Chang Le also saw it." ”

"It must be a mistake, it's a big night, it's dark in the water, how can you see it." The little girl walked to the village with Lin Xiao, and lifted the bamboo building behind her with a smile, don't talk about your fish, look, I went to the back mountain today, and found a lot of edible wild vegetables, as well as very beautiful spring flowers, when the time comes, you go and give it to Sister Chang Xi, she must be very happy. ”

"Chang Xi." Lin Xiao's head was a little confused, a trace of unnaturalness crossed his heart, and he replied, "I often like her to be very close to that Lang Jun from outside in the past two days." ”

"Hey, although the new Lang Jun is very handsome, but he hides in the house every day, he still coughs, and he can't work at a glance, brother, don't be discouraged, Sister Chang Xi was just told by the village chief to take care of him, rest assured, besides, brother, you are not bad."

"But the village now relies on the spirit stones given by that Lang Jun, and ......," Lin Xiao said a little unpleasantly, "And that Lang Jun looks rich and powerful, unlike us." ”

"Okay, okay, you also know that the village is counting on that Lang Jun now, after today, that Lang Jun took the dragon scales and left, it has nothing to do with us anymore, Sister Chang Xi will definitely not leave Chang Le behind, don't worry." The little girl looked at Lin Xiao's distressed appearance with some amusement, and comforted softly.

After listening to the little girl's words, Lin Xiao felt that it was the same, so he stopped being entangled, and walked towards the village happily, "You're right, let's go, let's go back." ”

The little girl nodded, pretending to be old-fashioned and said, "That's right, what is the matter?" ”

"You can teach, you." Lin Xiao knocked the little girl's head helplessly, and the little girl stuck out her tongue and made a grimace with a smile.

In the wing room of the village chief's house, Su Liang looked at Zhou Chongzhi with some incomprehension.

"Ahem, why does Xi'er look at me like this?" Zhou Chongzhi, who was lying on the bed, looked at Su Liang very dotingly, and his voice was a little bewitching, "I'm going to leave after today, cough cough, are you willing to join me?" ”

As he spoke, Zhou Chongzhi coughed even more, and his face flushed abnormally, as if he was in poor health.

Su Liang's fingers flashed a little light, and he just wanted to point on Zhou Chongzhi's forehead, but Zhou Chongyi grabbed his palm and blew it distressedly, "Is this hot when boiling medicine?" In the future, it will be good to leave this kind of thing to others, and it is a pity that such a beautiful hand is blistered. ”

Su Liang looked at his smooth and white hands, without a trace of flaws, and then looked at Zhou Chong's distressed eyes, and said calmly, "Chongzhi, you are hallucinating, let go." ”

"Xi'er, it's great that you promised me." Zhou Chongzhi's face was overjoyed, he pulled Su Liang's hand into his arms, hugged him tightly, put his forehead against Su Liang's forehead, and said softly with his eyes, "I will not live up to you in this life." ”

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhou Chongzhi who was close at hand, paused a little subtly, and then shook his whole body, broke free from Zhou Chongzhi's embrace, and pointed at Zhou Chongzhi's forehead, the aura just flickered, Zhou Chongzhi's body suddenly burst out with a huge aura and rushed straight towards Su Liang, and slammed into Su Liang's talisman array, bursting out with a dazzling light, a clear phoenix roar came out of his body, the surrounding air suddenly became a little hotter, and a fiery red phoenix shadow slowly appeared behind Zhou Chongzhi, Feng Ying's sharp eyes stared at Su Liang deadly, full of intimidation.

Zhou Chongzhi looked at Su Liang with some confusion, "What's wrong, Xi'er?" ”

Su Liang looked at the phoenix shadow, which was much more condensed than the phantom shadow of Old Man Zhou when he was in Qianyuan City, and the feathers on his wings were clearly visible, so he replied with a big head, "It's okay, the village chief said that the banquet is about to start, you can pack it up quickly." ”

"Won't you help me today?" Zhou Chongzhi nodded knowingly, looking at Su Liang's gaze with a slight smile.

"I'm going to help out in the kitchen." Su Liang made an excuse, with this phantom, he couldn't find out what happened to Zhou Chongzhi, but it seemed that there was no problem for the time being.

"Okay, then I'll clean up first." Zhou Chongzhi smiled slightly, only when Su Liang was shy, "Xi'er also has to talk to Chang Le, after all, follow me this time, I don't know how long it will take to come back." ”

"Hmm." Su Liang nodded, since Zhou Chongzhi was not in danger here for the time being, he turned around and walked out, intending to find Chu Ci and Lin Xiao.

Zhou Chongzhi looked at Su Liang's back and smiled a little playfully, "It's really a silly girl who is easy to deceive, but a hosta and a few flowers can hand over her heart so easily, and she is stupid." ”

The phoenix shadow behind him gradually dissipated, Zhou Chongzhi touched his heart a little strangely, and a phoenix-shaped protective seal hung on his chest, faintly hot, "What is this?" Should I have this? Forget it, it doesn't matter. As he spoke, he put it back, suppressed his cough over and over again, and lifted the quilt to get up and get out of bed, "It'll be fine soon, with a dragon scale, I can get everything I want." ”

On the platform outside the ancestral hall in the village, a big shed has been erected, and the villagers have come one after another to put the tables and chairs brought by the family, and pile up the food in one place, the stove built in the shed has been boiled with hot water, and the villagers come to help greet each other in the morning, the door of the ancestral hall is tightly closed, and a glimmer of light occasionally flashes in the crack of the door, it seems that the sun is closed in the window, and no one cares.

Su Liang found Chu Ci wandering around in the village, and Chu Ci looked at him with meaningful eyes, "Isn't this Xi'er?" How did it come out? ”

Su Liang pointed a finger at Chu Ci, this time there was no phantom, but a small magic circle lit up between Chu Ci's forehead firmly resisted Su Liang's fingers, if you don't care about it, you can break this magic circle, but I don't know if forcibly breaking the magic circle will hurt Chu Ci, Su Liang thought about it and had to give up, and a sense of frustration rose in his heart, this is the first time he has encountered this situation since going down the mountain, Su Liang put down his fingers a little dazedly, and didn't know what to do for a while.

"What's wrong? Why are you so strange today, girl? Chu Ci looked at Su Liang with some suspicion, touched his chin and said with some scrutiny, "Quarreled with Shaoming?" ”

"Nope." Su Liang suddenly understood, and asked, "My name is Chang Xi, what is your name?" ”

"My name is Qian Shaotang, don't you know?" Chu Ci frowned when he heard this, "Xi'er, Shaoming really likes you, and is willing to take you back to the Qian family, you won't live up to Shaoming's intentions, right?" ”

"No, have you seen Changle?" Su Liang realized the problem.

"Helping out in the shed, isn't it?" Chu Ci pointed to the inside of the shed where people came and went, "Look at the squatting by the stove." ”

"Okay." Su Liang nodded, and walked towards Chang Le.

Chu Ci's eyes sank, looking at Su Liang's back thoughtfully, wouldn't it be noticed by this little girl? Then he shook his head, how could it be, this little girl from a remote village, very stupid, Shaoming's face, how could she miss, and then continued to wander around the village, the banquet is about to start, check it again, the formation must be foolproof.

Su Liang walked to the stove, sat next to Chang Le, and watched Chang Le add firewood to the stove little by little.

"It's a big enough illusion." Su Liang opened his mouth and said, "From the moment we entered the formation at the entrance of the village, we fell into the illusion, there are no other resentful spirits here, only you are real." ”

"Sister, what are you talking about, look, that's the village chief, that's the eldest mother, that's the third grandfather, that's Xiaofuzi, and there, Aunt Chun who is cooking, these are the people in the village closest to us, how can it be fake?" Chang Le turned his head, his eyes were bright and bright, the smile on his face was innocent, and he asked with some doubts, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" How strange is it today? ”

"This illusion you made is indeed realistic enough, the five senses are extraordinarily real, and even the soul can feel it, but there is one thing, no matter how hidden the resentful spirit is, it will also exude a trace of malice on its body, like a bright light in the night, which is extremely obvious, but last night, although all the villagers exuded a sense of coldness, there was no malicious outpouring at all, and today even this coldness is gone." Su Liang looked at Chang Le lightly, "This illusion is constructed based on your memory. ”

Chang Le's smiling face stiffened, and he looked at Su Liang, "So powerful?" But that's okay, you see, it's about to begin. ”

Following Chang Le's fingers, I saw the village chief happily standing at the door of the ancestral hall with Zhou Chongzhi, with a pile of grain and spirit stones piled up behind him, "Look, Qian Langjun has already transported the grain and spirit stones, everyone has a good time eating at today's banquet, and this disaster in our village is finally coming to an end!" This is all thanks to Qian Langjun's generosity! Come, open the ancestral hall! ”
