The hazy sky couldn't tell when it was past dusk, and the heavy rain had already obscured the view of the cliff top, as if there was no fun.

The night came early in the pouring rain, without the slightest scruple of being a sign of early summer.

Outside the window, there was the chaotic sound of rain, and Meng Yunzhong and I sat speechless in the hall, perhaps thinking about what was happening in the town today.

But in the end, I smiled miserably. Because the sound of rain outside the window was gradually mixed with the hustle and bustle of people, as expected, I looked at Meng Yunzhong's slightly surprised expression, and then got up and opened the door of the hall.

At the moment when the air mixed with thick water vapor rushed into the room, the noisy voice was amplified many times at once, but I first saw You Ruojun and Boyi standing in front of the crowd, they were the same as dozens of villagers around, with a righteous and indignant expression, while Fu Huan'en beside them was helpless, and Rou Wing was beside Fu Huan'en, smiling mockingly at me without concealment.

"Kill this demon, avenge the child!"

From time to time there were such vicious words in the crowd, but I leaned against the railing in the hallway and smiled faintly at their noise. Some people in the crowd were holding hoes, some were holding sickles, and some even brought the spirit talismans to ward off evil spirits at home.

You Ruojun, you have really planned for a long time, and you have been waiting for a long time, and now, you are finally asked to wait for the opportunity, is this your last resistance?

"Meng Daxia, get away from that demon girl!

Following the voice that came out of nowhere, I turned my head and saw Meng Yunzhong walking to the door, he was still frowning, but I could see helplessness and sadness in his already reddened eyes.

In an instant, my heart softened, and it was the last thing I wanted to see. The simple beauty between me and him may be completely shattered tonight, and I have easily made up my mind to let go of everything to spend with him through these decades, but now, it seems impossible to achieve. The boundary between demons and mortals is so obvious that I don't even know if the way he looks at me will be the same as usual.

"Yun Zhong ......"

He was still stunned, but his hand reached for the sword pinned to his waist.

The wall in my heart collapsed in an instant, and I was just a little bit closer to tears. He didn't choose to side with me.

"Kill her! Meng Daxia! She is the one who killed our children! Vicious demon!"

I endured the tumbling in my heart and turned my head to look at You Ruojun.

"Sister You, what's wrong? Isn't your illness just cured? You can't get drenched in such heavy rain. ”

"Demon, stop talking so much nonsense! today is your death!" she had no intention of teasing me, her face full of murderous intent and anger.

"Sister You, why can't I understand?

"Hmph! you still want to quibble!" she pulled something out of her sleeve and threw it to the ground.

I was taken aback, but then I regained my composure. That mass of things is the sweat towel that Meng Yunzhong once gave me. Suddenly, many thoughts became clear in my heart.

It turned out that the monster in the clearing didn't want to hurt me, it just wanted to find a gap to get something from me.

"Miss Yinluo, do you recognize this thing?" Fu Huanen on the side was not so angry, but asked me very calmly.

I looked back at Meng Yunzhong again, he still didn't move, I thought I also saw the sweat towel, and there was a little more sadness in my eyes.

"What about recognition?"

"It was found in the hands of a dead child, and if it was really the girl's, then it must have nothing to do with the girl. ”

"Slut! You can't quibble now, can you? There is not a trace of blood on the children who had an accident, but their hearts have been robbed, and only demons can do it! I don't even hold you accountable for using demon methods to confuse Yun Zhong, but you are so vicious, you don't even let go of the children! Except for you, it's really intolerable!" You Ruojun couldn't wait to roar, as if he was really righteous.

"Yes, kill her, Meng Daxia, don't be fooled by her demon magic!" the surrounding villagers echoed, and their emotions boiled again.

"Even if this kid accidentally got my sweat towel, it doesn't mean that I killed him. ”

"Hmph, then why did anyone see that on the day of the accident, you did come to the town, and you did go to the southeast woods? You must have watched the whereabouts of these two children in the town beforehand, and then led them into the woods and killed them! Demon! You should die!"

"The slave family has heard that many monsters will feed on the heart of a child to practice demon law, and my husband and I have checked the child's corpse, except for the heart, everything else is intact, ordinary people can't do it. Soft Wing had a sneer on her face, but her mouth was a weak and innocent voice, "I know that the girl helped to cure Miss Ruojun's illness, but the girl did such an evil thing today, and Miss Ruojun has no way to help you." ”

"Hmph! She saved me, I'm afraid it was just to hide people's eyes! Do you remember? There was a similar tragedy on the mountain road, and it was on the day she went down the mountain to save me!"

"Yes, yes! She must have done it! Kill her!"

All of them seemed to have received an affirmative answer, brandishing the "weapon" in their hands, and approaching the wooden house step by step.

"Everyone, be careful!

I don't know who shouted in the crowd, everyone stopped again, and I stood where I was, watching these incompetent and funny mortals being instigated and manipulated by You Ruojun.

"Yinluo, did you really do it?"

A chill soaked through my whole body, and I could take You Ruojun's inciting the villagers to provoke me as a joke, or I could ignore the ridicule after the successful conspiracy of the soft wings, but how could this question come out of his mouth? Is he serious, just an ordinary mortal? Is he really not as good as the boy who once gave me the grass ring, and doesn't care about my origin at all? Or, is it the memory that fooled me. Even that boy, after knowing that I am a demon, may fear me, reject me, and even think that I will only bring evil and killing.

I silently turned my head to meet his eyes, I saw the hesitation, sigh, sadness in his eyes, but there was no hatred, I smiled at him, and finally released my clenched fist.

"Yun Zhong! Don't trust her anymore! She's a vicious demon! Kill her!"

Bo Yi was shouting at Meng Yunzhong, and in his angry voice, I suddenly had murderous intent. You Ruojun, Rou Wing, it seems that I have given you too much time!

I secretly urged my spiritual power, and there was a slight white light in the palm of my hand hanging beside me, and I still looked at him with a smile, looking at the slight surprise on his face. The white light was not strong, and only he could see it. Now that this is the case, what does it matter if I let him know that I am a demon?At least for a moment, I didn't read fear or repulsion in his eyes.

Just as my attention shifted from him to You Ruojun, the crowd began to boil again, and they continued to shout and roar, but no one dared to take another step forward.

"Meng Daxia, kill her, kill this demon!"

Ignorant mortals, angry and afraid, end up hoping for others.

No wonder Mother said that mortals are afraid of death because their lives are too fragile and too easy to lose.

Meng Yunzhong's hand holding the sword increased his strength slightly, but he never drew his sword.

"You're a demon. ”

"Yes, Yun Zhong. ”

"Those kids ......"

I shook my head and stared at the doubt in his eyes.

"Why did you go to that forest today?"

My heart was shocked, and I suddenly felt a little unhappy, or helpless.

"You didn't go back to Mengjun Villa, you followed me. ”

"I just saw you go into the woods. ”

"Have you ever seen me kill someone?"

"Nope. ”

"Kill her!Yun Zhong!Don't hesitate any longer!She won't hurt you!" You Ruojun urged eagerly on the side, but Meng Yunzhong was out of sight.

"Then how do you conclude it's me?"

"I'm ......" Meng Yunzhong's gaze wandered in an instant, and his hand gradually let go of the sword.

At this moment, whether it was Meng Yunzhong or everyone outside the wooden house, the sound suddenly disappeared, because in the rain, a soft, charming, and enchanting voice appeared.

Kitsune!?

"Oops...... Why did this play get stuck in the middle of the show? What about the bloody scene of demon punishment? What about the sadistic love and killing of each other? What a disappointment!"

When You Ruojun heard this voice, she really trembled.

Soft wings look warily in the direction of the orchard.

"Don't look at it, you look through the autumn water, aren't I right next to you?"

As he spoke, the fox demon's curved and gentle body appeared dreamily beside Soft Wing, but suddenly it flashed, and it was hidden. Everyone was so frightened that their eyes widened, searching everywhere, and they didn't know if it was because they were afraid, or because they had already been charmed by the beautiful face of the fox demon.

Immediately, there was a flash of lightning in the sky, a muffled thunder, and the heavy rain that had been falling silkily stopped in an instant, leaving only a group of people who were soaked in the rain.

"Youkai!" someone in the crowd finally came to their senses and shouted in horror.

Then the crowd became restless again, and the villagers were really panicked. My youkai hasn't shown up yet, and now there's another one, and they really don't seem to know what to do.

"I, I know her! My eldest brother was killed by her sucking up his blood!" The voice that came out of nowhere suddenly made everyone's fear a little more.

"Nonsense! Obviously, you and your brother took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to try to be lighter than me, but accidentally touched the poisonous needle on my body, so they died, and now it depends on me? Do you still have a conscience......

With a scream, the fox demon appeared beside the man in the blink of an eye, pulling his arm a little coquettishly. He shook off and ran to the side screaming, and the crowd was in a commotion, and they all rushed out of his way. But when I looked again, the fox demon disappeared again.

Even You Ruojun panicked, Fu Huanen was still not surprised, and only watched everything that happened indifferently from the side.

"What a stupid human, I'll show you who the real demon is!"

Her voice changed abruptly, and the last sentence was almost gnashed with teeth, as if embedded with deep hatred.

Just when everyone fell into extreme fear, a thunderbolt in the night sky actually exploded the dark sky, and a faint halo shot out from the crack, which happened to shine on You Ruojun's body.

You Ruojun wanted to hide, but found that she couldn't dodge at all, so the light found the target and held on to her.

"What do you want to do!"

You Ruojun twitched in that light, his expression extremely painful. In the end, she couldn't hold it anymore, and went from cursing angrily to pleading, and in the endless night sky, there was a smile from the fox demon, but this smile, with resentment, with a curse.

"Ruojun!" Bo Yi was really anxious, he wanted to step forward to help You Ruojun, but found that he couldn't get close to the light at all, and could only shout and wander helplessly and anxiously on the side.

Meng Yunzhong also stepped forward, watching all this helplessly and anxiously, but he hesitated and did not leave the confines of the wooden house. The crowd was in a panic again, and no one knew what would happen.

I could only hear You Ruojun's wail, the light disintegrated in an instant, the cracks in the sky disappeared, the heavy rain poured down, and the laughter of the fox demon disappeared in an instant, leaving only You Ruojun and the rumbling rain that collapsed on the ground.

Compared to the noisy surroundings, the crowd instantly became quiet, and everyone gathered around You Ruojun, as if they were watching a trapped beast.

"Youkai! She's really a youkai!"

After a while, a frightened cry was finally heard from the front of the crowd.

At this time, looking at You Ruojun again, her green hair quickly turned into a pale withered beard, and when she raised her head, she was already full of vicissitudes, and there was no skin that was not wrinkled. This old and frail face, where is there still a girl!

Everyone regarded her as a monster, and Rou Wing was also startled next to Fu Huanen at first, but then smiled coldly, at this time, even she became a spectator.

You Ruojun wanted to struggle to stand up, but he never had the strength, and seemed to have really turned into a dying old man in an instant. This image reminds me of what she looked like when she was sick.

However, Meng Yunzhong's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at the scene in front of him in horror. There is no language, but it seems to be because of the loss of the ability to express. When I saw him in such a strange way, I couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Yun Zhong...... Are you alright......" I hesitated for a moment, but then asked.

"She ......" he barely managed to squeeze out a word, but only one word.

"Youruo-kun is also a monster!ah!"

The powerless mortals were overwhelmed, for them what had happened tonight was beyond their imagination, and they didn't know what to do with it.

"Kill the demons! Kill her first! She must be in league with those demons!"

That's their final decision. Since the purpose of going up the mountain is to kill demons, compared to me who doesn't know the depth and bloodthirstiness, or the fox demon who disappears from time to time, only You Ruojun, who is already too weak to stand up, is the best victim. As a result, the situation suddenly reversed, the crowd gradually gathered, and the weapons in people's hands were lifted over their heads one by one, and they slowly surrounded You Ruojun, leaving a resolute killing intent on everyone's faces.

"You ......" You Ruojun looked at everything in front of him weakly, but he was powerless to defend.

"Stop! What do you want!

Bo Yi squeezed out of the crowd and blocked in front of You Ruojun, he was really anxious and angry, and even pulled out the sword on his body to protect You Ruojun.

"Bo Yi Daxia, do you want to be with the monsters? Get out of the way! We're going to kill this monster!"

The cries of the crowd are getting louder and louder, and Boyi's resistance has gradually become weak. At this moment, Meng Yunzhong, who was originally beside me, turned over and jumped over the railing, and in a blink of an eye, he was in the middle of the crowd and stood with Boyi.

"You can't kill her! she's not a monster!"

Meng Yunzhong shouted at the crowd.

I'm a little bit unbelievable, and even I don't know how things are going to go. I slowly came down from the hut, and when they saw me, they were terrified, and slowly stepped back, making way for me, but they looked at me viciously, and did not lay down their weapons, and were careful to be on guard, fearing that I, a bloodthirsty demon, would take the life of one of them if I was not careful.

I walked to Meng Yunzhong's side, and the people around You Ruojun naturally avoided a little.

"They're really in this group!"

Someone was talking about it.

Meng Yunzhong turned his head to look at me helplessly, but I couldn't understand what he wanted to express in his eyes, but I just felt a deep pain. I looked down at the weak You Ruojun again, she was so anxious that two tears had already flowed from the corners of her eyes, but when she looked at me, she still couldn't hide her anger and hatred.

The rain was still pouring down, and the situation was so deadlocked. Bo Yi and Meng Yunzhong were both by You Ruojun's side, and I could only look indifferently at the angry but fear-shrouded villagers.

"Xianggong! Ruojun girl is not a demon! she is a demon catcher!"

In the night rain, wearing a purple veil, a thin figure walked towards this side. Fu Huanen, who was squeezed aside by the crowd, turned his head slightly, and saw his little concubine, Yun Niang.

"If Miss Jun is not a demon, don't hurt her. ”

Yun Niang and Fu Huanen looked at each other, and then walked to the front of the crowd. Attention will be shifted to her, but her words will be skeptical.

"I can testify that if Miss Jun is a demon hunter, not a demon! ”

Once again, people's judgments were disrupted, and they looked left and right, and exchanged ears.

"But if she wasn't a youkai, how could she be like this?"

"Yun Niang has seen us and saved many lives, what she said will not be false!"

"Maybe they're in the same group!"

"Impossible! Mrs. Yun Niang is a good person!"

......

"Please believe me, Miss Ruojun has definitely not done anything harmful. ”

"You say she's a demon hunter! Then why doesn't she kill the demon next to her?

Yun Niang looked at me sideways, and I only smiled meaningfully at her.

"This Yinluo girl is not a bad person...... but her explanation is so weightless.

As long as You Ruojun can kill this demon, we believe that she is a demon hunter!"

"Miss Ruojun has been heavy on witchcraft, and now she is very weak......"

"Then who will kill the demons? Do you want to let the monsters kill people everywhere?"

"Meng Daxia! Boyi Daxia! If you kill this demon, we believe that You Ruojun is a demon hunter!"

Someone in the crowd proposed, Yun Niang could only look at me helplessly, she shook her head slightly, but there was nothing she could do.

"Yun Zhong, let's kill this demon girl!"

Boyi's blade immediately pointed at me, and he glared at me, and I could already see that he could almost disregard his life for the sake of You Ruojun.

"Big Brother ......"

I looked at Meng Yunzhong's face full of confusion, he never meant to draw his sword.

"Kill her, kill her......"

The crowd around him began to shout in unison, and Bo Yi no longer expected Meng Yunzhong, but paced towards me step by step.

I know that Meng Yunzhong is very helpless at this moment, one is the brother who shares his weal and woe, the other is the woman who made a marriage contract with him, and the other is the demon who made a mountain alliance and sea oath with him, how should he choose?

But with each passing minute, Boyi's sword got closer to me. I don't blame him for his hesitation at this moment, but if it were me, I don't know how to judge a demon who has been called evil and cruel by others, how can he easily believe that I am not harmful? Not to mention that all kinds of evidence point to me, and I don't even have any room for defense. Since it is a demon, why justify?

"Kill her, kill her......"

There were still urging voices around me, and seeing that Bo Yi's sword blade was already close at hand, I still looked at Meng Yunzhong, as if the distance between me and him was gradually becoming distant.

"Big brother, stop!"

Just when the tip of Boyi's sword had already touched my neck, Meng Yunzhong had already drawn his sword and blocked Boyi's sword at some point. Only then did I retract the spiritual power that had been gushing out.

The shouting around him stopped abruptly, and they were all taken aback by his sudden move.

"Those children weren't killed by Yinluo!"

"Yun Zhong!" Bo Yi's eyes were obviously red, but Meng Yunzhong was right in front of me.

"Today I followed her all the way into the woods, and she went in and out alone, but there were no children to be seen. Since then, she's been with me ever since, how can she kill people?"

"Meng Daxia, don't protect this demon girl anymore!"

"Don't be fooled by her! how do you know she's not good at doppelgängers?"

"Don't hide it from everyone! Yinluo is indeed a demon! I already know it!"

As soon as the words came out, I immediately looked at him with some surprise, and everyone looked at him in surprise, he really knew?

"A month ago, I had an accident on the mountain road, and I was suspicious of her, so I have been living in this wooden house with her, always observing her movements, and this time I went down the mountain, I also secretly followed her, watching her every move, but this matter really has nothing to do with her!"

"I know she's a demon, but I still want to be with her?"

"This enchantress must have done some kind of sorcery. ”

......

There was a whisper.

"Why should we believe you? You may have been deceived by this enchantress!"

"If it was the demon who killed those children, what about the monster that attacked Ruojun just now? ”

"This ......"

There was another commotion, and his words brought people back to the fear when the fox demon appeared just now.

"Yes, youkai are very powerful! My brother was really killed by her!"

"Yes! She probably did it. ”

......

"It's better for everyone to go back first, my brother-in-law and I are staring at Yinluo here, and ask Young Master Fu and Yun Niang to investigate the real murderer. If after ten days, the real culprit still can't be found......"

"Then kill this witch!"

"Yes!"

"If you can't find the real murderer in ten days, kill her!"

Silent, I stood behind Meng Yunzhong, watching him maneuver around for me, and suddenly felt that the back of the mortal in front of me was no worse than Cang Li.
