"Ahh

"Meow?"

The next day, after crossing the state border and on the way to Yangzhou Mansion, Qin Lang suddenly sneezed and startled the little female cat in the carriage.

"Meow..."

The big sapphire-like eyes flashed with water, and the little paws pulled for a while, expressing concern for Qin Lang.

"Cut..."

Seeing her like this, a certain sect master didn't admit defeat, first carried Tuan Tuan back to the carriage, and then leaned out of the car window:

"Hey, kid Qin Lang, you shouldn't be in the rain and cold..."

“……”

Qin Lang didn't speak, rubbed his nose, and continued to catch the car.

"Hey!"

“……”

"Qin..."

Zhuo Beibei paused, a little weak-hearted:

"Qin Lang... Aren't you... I'm angry..."

“？”

Angry?

Qin Lang frowned, and then continued to be silent, wanting to hear what she meant.

"Didn't I beat the beggar and didn't help you just now... But he's really weak, and he's really not worth the shot..."

“……”

"And the point is... The key is that he can't beat him, so I'm relieved that you can fight him..."

“……”

Zhuo Beibei's voice became smaller and smaller, originally because of his weak heart, but in the end, he seemed to be wronged, and a trembling whimper like a kitten came out of his throat:

"This seat... This seat does not... Don't worry about your... Meaning..."

“……”

Actually, Qin Lang didn't think about it so much at all.

He just didn't bother to pay attention to her, but he didn't expect the sensitive sect master to think so much, and he didn't know whether to laugh or do something for a while, he waved the whip in his hand behind him and gently stroked her ponytail:

"Do you think I'm just like you?"

Zhuo Beibei rubbed his nose, and his eyes lit up:

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, it's just to tell you, I didn't get cold, I didn't get angry with anyone, I just sneezed suddenly, um... Someone might be missing me. ”

"Oh, that's it."

That's okay, the sect master licked his lips, and his mood improved again:

"Who's missing you?"

"I don't know."

Qin Lang said that he didn't know, but two familiar faces appeared in his mind.

A peerless, delicate and gentle.

A beautiful and unparalleled, cold and cute.

Of course, immediately after that, more faces came out one after another.

For example, a playful girl with a double ponytail.

Another example is a similarly playful big-bodied girl.

For example, on the Tianshan Mountain, a peerless stunner who can hook a man's soul with just one look...

“……”

Well...

Unconsciously, how can you think of so many people...

Just like that, Qin Lang actually remembered a sentence that Miss Sumire had asked him a long time ago.

[What do you think of people with three wives and four concubines? 】

Qin Lang's answer at that time was that it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, but a person with three wives and four concubines would live a very tired life, which was not good.

But at the moment, the few faces in my mind are inexplicably a little weak.

Three wives and four concubines... Is it really tiring to live...

But if you don't have three wives and four concubines... How can a person divide the same feelings several times...

……

Qin Lang never thought that he would one day actually consider such an inexplicable question.

But at this time, it was just a flash.

Soon after the carriage arrived in the new town, the drizzle, which had been drieving, finally began to fall heavily.

What no one expected was that it rained so hard that it rained for three days in a row.

————————

Whoa...

Whoa...

In the inn room, Xiao Er specially prepared a few buckets, not that the roof was not firm, but the rain was too heavy in case of emergency.

Zhuo Beibei sat by the window, looking at the thousands of miles of smoke and rain on the surface of the Yangtze River outside, he couldn't see any beauty at all, and he couldn't feel a trace of comfort, but even his mood was a little dull.

"Qin Lang."

"Say."

"Do you want to play a game?"

"If you want to play, just say it, children love to play, it's normal."

"I'll ask again, do you want to play the game?"

“……”

Qin Lang sighed helplessly, looked at the roof with drooping eyelids, and muttered word by word:

"Yes, I miss it too much, so please ask the sect master to satisfy me and play games with me."

"Hmph~"

Zhuo Beibei pinched his waist and was immediately satisfied.

Well, since Qin Lang's childlike heart is still intact, then the sect master will accompany him with great compassion~

"So what?"

Qin Lang stared at her:

"What game to play? House wine? ”

"It's kids' play."

Zhuo Beibei patted his small chest:

"I'm over 300 years old, so of course I have to play adult games."

"Grown-up's game..."

When this word floated through Qin Lang's heart, all Qin Lang could think of were some scenes that were inappropriate for children.

Or a scene on the Tien Shan Mountains.

……

Anyway, the sect master quickly got busy, moved the stool, beckoned Xiao Er, and finally put a chessboard on the table.

"Do you know how to play Go?" Qin Lang was shocked.

"No, it won't." Zhuo Beibei shook his head, "It's the one you played with Xuanran and Lingyue in Jingzhou Mansion before." ”

"Oh-"

Qin Lang understood:

"Backgammon, okay, I'll play with you for a while."

Boom –

As soon as the words fell, a spring thunder exploded outside.

It's the end of April, and strictly speaking, it's no longer a spring thunder, not to mention that it's raining so heavily, it's more like summer.

Smack.

Qin Lang rubbed his ears and walked a small black spot on the chess and cards first, only to find that the sect master sitting opposite was gone.

“？”

Moved slightly, only to feel a warm light tremor between his legs, Qin Lang looked down, it turned out that two gadgets had entered his arms at the same time when the thunder just now.

A small she-cat.

A Sect Master.

“……”

A three-hundred-year-old man who kills people thousands of miles away and can destroy the three sects alone, is afraid of thunder or something...

It's really...

Classic.

It's like a royal guard girl who is afraid of ghosts.

Maybe it's a little old-fashioned, but Qin Lang inexplicably eats this set, takes out the trembling sect master, and gently strokes her little head:

"Okay, okay, touch the hair, don't be scared..."

"Meow..."

"Mmmm, you too, you have more hair, and you can't be scared."

……

Afterwards, the Sect Master naturally wouldn't admit that he was afraid of thunder just now.

But on the other hand, the thunder may be more than once.

So just in case, Zhuo Beibei insisted on meditating and running some kind of exercise, by forcibly reducing his sensitivity, to avoid being frightened by the thunder again.

But in fact, Zhuo Beibei was soon completely distracted by the record of losing three games in a row in backgammon, and he simply forgot about the thunder.

"Qin Lang, you bully this seat!"

"How did I bully you..."

"You don't let this seat win!"

“……”

There was no way, Qin Lang finally let her go, but she still couldn't lose.

let two more play backgammon by herself, and Zhuo Beibei played backgammon, which made her win.

……

The two never expected that this kind of dull thing of having fun would last for three days.

Three days later, when the heavy rain finally stopped, an important piece of news quickly spread throughout Yangzhou.

That is, the traffic artery connecting the capital Yangzhou Jingzhou was blocked because of the landslide on the hill.

"What should I do?"

Qin Lang asked Xiao Er at that time, but Xiao Er said that there was no way:

"There used to be this situation, so the inn inn is sufficient, and no matter how big the convoy is, it is enough to rest for half a month, and it is good to wait for the craftsmen to clear the road."

"Half a month?"

Qin Lang frowned, this has been too long.

"If the guests are in a hurry, it doesn't matter, in our famous wild boar forest in Yangzhou, there are many trails that can be passed to people, but in April, many people dare not walk."

"Why? There are thieves? ”

"It's not true, it's just a legend that every time in the month of April and September, there are blood-sucking monsters in the wild boar forest that come out to harm people, so few people dare to go."

Vampire youkai...

Qin Lang was speechless, if this was Yunzhou, he might still believe in such a legend.

"Monsters hurt people, but there are corpses and other proofs."

Xiao Er shook his head:

"Not really, but some people say that it must be that the blood-sucking monster is too smart, but whenever it sucks blood, it abducts the corpse and hides it."

“……”

This is inevitably a bit forcible and mysterious, and a certain strong sect master even said that if there is really such a powerful monster, she can suppress it at that time.

Anyway, she doesn't want to stay for another half a month, and if she wants to stay, she will at least stay in Yangzhou Mansion, otherwise everyone will be bored.

So, when the ground was a little dry, the two finally drove the carriage to the so-called wild boar forest, and continued to Yangzhou Mansion from the forest path.

On the other hand, in the face of the same problem, a certain empress is even more unlikely to believe in evil.

"Sumire, are you afraid of the so-called vampire monsters?"

“……”

The girl Gu Jin recalled that she had discussed the topic of monsters with someone, and after a short hesitation, she quietly touched the small wood carving of someone in her arms, and said resolutely:

"Subordinates are not afraid."

So, two shadows, one red and one black, also stepped into the vast wild boar forest, followed the path marked by the predecessors, and walked towards Yangzhou Mansion.
