Chapter 403: The earth is hot, and the night is dark

Xu Jingxi had calmly carried the tools, pushed the door and walked in.

Shen Ningning and Ye Shangyi hurriedly followed him, and the guards formed a circle around them.

"Whew~~" The cool wind drilled into the clothes along the back of Ye Xiangyi's neck.

She was frightened: "Who! Who is blowing the wind in my ears! There are ghosts, there are really ghosts! ”

This is, Shen Ningning silently tugged at the corner of her clothes behind her.

"Yiyi, I blow it."

"Ahh Ye Shangyi's frightened heart slowly calmed down: "Ning Ning, don't scare me, I'm not cowardly, I am, it's easy to be afraid." ”

Shen Ningning's tender little white face, under the reflection of the lantern light, looked extremely cute.

She blinked a pair of round black eyes: "I didn't want to scare you, I saw a spider fall off your collar, I was afraid that you would be scared, so I wanted to blow it off for you." ”

Ye Shangyi gasped: "Then, did you blow it off?" ”

"Not yet." The little one shook his head honestly.

Ye Shangyi's face froze, and she immediately jumped back and forth screaming: "I'm most afraid of spiders!" ”

Shen Ningning stretched out her little hand and wanted to grab her sleeve, but Ye Shangyi patted her shoulder back and forth, and the little guy couldn't pull her at all.

Eventually, a slender hand reached out and accurately grasped Ye Xiangyi's arm, and then, before she could react, pinched the spider that had slid to her shoulder.

"Alright." Xu Jingxi threw the spider on the ground: "Take it off." ”

Ye Shangyi breathed a sigh of relief and almost lost her footing.

Shen Ningning ran to look at the spider, her little head shaking, and her soft voice was full of sympathy.

"Poor little spiders, all eyes are full of Venus."

Xu Jingxi's calm eyes were particularly profound in the quiet and strange old mansion.

"I see that this house is old, many places are in disrepair, I'm afraid it has also been eaten by insects, the road ahead is not easy to walk, Miss Ye is so scared, you just wait for me at the door."

"Or maybe I can go back first, it will take me about two hours to complete it all."

Ye Shangyi wanted to nod, but Shen Ningning decisively refused.

"Leaving you here alone? Then how can you do it, your hands are not complete, since we are here, of course we have to help to the end, Shangyi, you are right? ”

Looking at the little guy's big bright eyes, Ye Sheng wanted to cry without tears.

"Yes, yes...... "I'm sorry, why did she come here in a daze?"

The guards carried lanterns and walked in front to light the road, and Xu Jingxi took Shen Ningning and Ye Shangyi to walk on the dilapidated corridor.

Mahogany, which used to be expensive, now makes a slight creak when stepped on.

The Black Wolf King did not take the usual path, outside the corridor, sometimes jumping and running a few steps, sometimes sniffing everywhere.

Xu Jingxi walked to the flower hall in the back garden, took a photo of the fire fold, and Shen Ningning saw that there were faded paintings hanging in the hall, and the wooden beam carving on the top was extremely exquisite.

"It's golden silk nanmu." Xu Jingxi recognized it at a glance.

He has been working with Grandpa Xu since he was a child, and it is difficult for him to identify wood.

Shen Ningning sighed: "There are so many roots, no wonder so many people have died here, and the host family still wants to cut off the expensive wood and bring it back." ”

But with so many wooden beams, it is a big project to disassemble them safely.

Originally, it took five or six people to do it, but Xu Jingxi took it alone.

To be on the safe side, he walked outside to the open space and took out the cloth cubes he had prepared in advance and laid them out.

"You just sit here and eat, don't run far, I'm afraid that other places will fall into disrepair and there will be broken wood." Xu Jingxi said, glanced at Shen Ningning, and walked back to the flower hall.

He set up the ladder he had prepared, took the tools in his hand, and climbed up.

Ye Shangyi arranged for two guards to go in to help him.

The guards placed the lanterns around where they were sitting, so that the night was dark, and they were the only light.

But Ye Shangyi looked around, and could only see the bright lights in front of him, and if he looked into the distance, he felt even darker.

The house is backed by the mountains, and the mountains are dark at this time, like a fierce beast lurking in the dark, opening its bloody mouth anytime and anywhere.

On the other hand, Shen Ningning was already humming a song, and the food he brought was put on the ground bowl by bowl.

Then, she took out chopsticks and an empty bowl.

"It's time to eat!" The little guy smiled and poured three glasses of spiritual spring water.

The black wolf king was lying beside her, and he also got two meat buns to stuff between his teeth, and he was not hungry, so he could eat as much as he could.

Ye Shangyi looked at the dazzling dishes, but felt that it was not fragrant.

"Ning Ning, don't you think it's strange for us to put the dishes out? Especially on the ground...... she stopped talking, and looked around with a worried look.

Shen Ningning had already eaten a piece of braised pork with thick red sauce.

"Woohoo, incense!" After speaking, the little guy tilted his head: "Huh? What did you say? Why is it strange? ”

Ye Shangyi sat down a little towards her: "In the past, I went with my family to worship my ancestors, and the food for the ancestors was placed on the ground, and we are not picnics, you see that the surroundings are so scary." ”

Shen Ningning freed up a small hand and patted her shoulder gently.

"Don't be afraid, you're not afraid of shadows, you haven't done anything wrong, are the ghosts looking for you? They also know that there is a debtor! ”

Under Shen Ningning's comfort, Ye Shangyi barely ate something.

After that, there was a long wait.

An hour passed, and it was almost time.

Xu Jingxi never rested for a moment, and kept dismantling the wooden beams, and from time to time there was a sound of heavy wood falling to the ground.

Nothing has happened for such a long time, and Ye Shangyi is no longer too afraid.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Xu Jingxi took the time to say to the outside world: "I have a blanket in my other baggage, so you can sleep for a while when you are sleepy." ”

Shen Ningning immediately pouted her little buttocks, took out the burden for a long time, and pulled out a thin blanket.

"Wow~ Xu Jingxi, you are really thoughtful." As she spoke, she spread out the quilt and put it on her body, and then lay down the Black Wolf King as a pillow.

Ye Sheng glanced at the Black Wolf King in embarrassment.

She didn't dare to lean over like Shen Ningning.

However, the little guy took the initiative to beckon: "Yiyi, it's okay, you can also lie down together, I told the wolf, as long as you don't drool!" ”

Ye Sheng rubbed over, and the Black Wolf King was lying on her side, and she happened to lie on its legs.

The two little girls covered a thin blanket together, and Shen Ningning smiled at first, thinking it was very funny.

She muttered, "Is it my delusion, I think this place is already warm." ”

Ye Shangyi said absentmindedly: "It must be an illusion, how can the ground be hot?" ”

Probably because of the sense of security given by the Black Wolf King, or the sound of Xu Jingxi banging, soon, Shen Ningning and Ye Shangyi both felt sleepy.

The two fell asleep wrapped in quilts, and I don't know how long it took, Ye Shangyi woke up in a daze.

"I knew I wouldn't drink so much soup, where is the thatched house?"

She originally wanted the guards to accompany her, but after thinking about it, it was not good to go too far, so she simply went to the courtyard behind a wall and solved it simply.

In this way, it cannot be called a guard.

Ye Shangyi left quickly.

The black wolf king, who was napping, opened an eye, looked at the direction of Ye Shangyi's back, and closed his eyes again.

Shen Ningning was dreaming, constantly licking her little mouth.

Suddenly!

Ye Shangyi's frightened screams pierced the silence of the night.

Shen Ningning hurriedly sat up, and Ye Shangyi screamed again.

The little guy's eyes changed: "Wolf wolf, go!" See what's going on? ”

The Black Wolf King swooped out.
