It's been a long time since I've set foot in a town inhabited by mortals, and even if I catch monsters, it's often after nightfall. Suddenly seeing the noisy scene in the mortal bazaar brought back many memories for me.

Many years ago, Xiaolu and I often secretly went to the market to get a few strange things, and we could play for a long time in the lush forest. Xiaolu also likes to play with groups of children, play tricks on them, and buy jelly beans and pies. Of course, those children didn't know that Xiaolu was not playing tricks, but demon tricks. Most mortal children like to wear masks, and the stranger, uglier, and more scary they do, and they play their part. At that time, I didn't understand why mortals would worship those gods or demons with hideous and grotesque faces, and even deliberately dress themselves up like that, don't they know that all living beings in this world envy human beings for having such a perfect appearance and body? Even the heavenly gods made themselves more perfect on the basis of their mortal appearance, because they were also jealous that mortals had received such a gift from the great god Nuwa, and gave them the most perfect form of the Six Realms, although mortals did not have innate spiritual power and great power, they could have the most perfect form of all beings in the Six Realms.

At the moment, around me is the crowded shuttle crowd, and in my ears, there is a noisy and noisy shouting. I wore a cotton dress worn by ordinary women, and I wore my hair in a bun, as if I were just an ordinary girl in this town. But in my heart, I was faintly uncomfortable, I only felt that I didn't seem to belong to this world, and I had to squeeze in hard.

I walked street after street, past house after house, until I reached the end of the noise and saw a decent mansion. People seem to have involuntarily turned back to their trips, and although the mansion is not far from the city, it has somehow avoided the noise.

There is a long pond in front of the house, with two weeping willows on both sides that have just sprouted, which reflects the blue and quiet water color.

The four words "Mengjun Villa" are inlaid in the center of the plaque carved from rosewood, which is a delicate small seal, and the plaque is hung in the center above the door of the house, although it is not magnificent, but it makes people look very calm, and even some calm to the point of depression.

Outside the door of the house, there was a man in a gray-purple cotton robe who was sweeping the dust in front of the court with a broom, and everything seemed to be very quiet. But I kept thinking about the people living in the house, what would they do?

I suddenly looked forward to the door of the house being opened by that person at this moment, but I was afraid of the sudden four eyes. I couldn't even guess what reason he would have understood my sudden departure, or if I couldn't face him without thinking of the empty cabin.

Actually, I would love to know if he still remembers those days, if he still remembers me and him...... But he was afraid to hear other news about him and You Ruojun. Looking at this closed house, I was nervous.

But at this moment, the door really opened, I quickly avoided to the side, and even almost couldn't help but set a hidden boundary for myself, until I saw that the person who walked out of the door was neither the person I minded, nor You Ruojun, I was slightly relieved.

Looking through the shade of the trees, I found that the man was dressed in a purple robe, but he was much more delicate than Jiading's clothes, his hair was also wrapped in a purple scarf, his forehead was combed cleanly, his face was also very clean, and he still had a wisp of understated beard on his chin, he seemed to be in his early forties, but he still looked very handsome. It can be seen that he is a well-rounded person and a person with status. I suddenly remembered the "righteous brother" Boyi that the person had mentioned, and it must be this man.

If so, then he is the owner of this Mengjun Villa.

"Yingfu, I'll go to the Fuyuan Waifu, you don't have to sweep it, go in and rest. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The man who came out of the house said to the man who was sweeping the floor at the door, and then went straight out of the house, past where I was standing, and walked in the other direction of the street. I pretended to be a passerby and watched him leave in silence until he disappeared around the corner of the street. The housekeeper named Yingfu also took the broom and entered the house, and at this time, I was the only one in front of the house.

And I still don't want to leave, and I always have a question in my mind that needs to be confirmed, that is, whether the person I think of from time to time is not in this house. Since I came, I have already violated the so-called "promise" I once made to You Ruojun, so why not figure it out thoroughly?

I simply went around to a corner next to the house, and after making sure that there was no one around, I set myself a hidden realm, and with a slight leap, I climbed over the fence and entered the house.

The house is also very clean, there are green willow trees everywhere, like a garden, rockeries are scattered, flowing water surrounds, pavilions are erected, only on the side of the mountain and water, only a corner of the house is faintly visible, as if it is a paradise. It seems that the owner of this house has really put a lot of thought into the layout of the house.

The house is not big, and there are not many houses that can live, but it seems to linger between the mountains and rivers, as if it encompasses a beautiful scenery.

I searched around, but the house was very quiet, except for the occasional housekeeper cleaning the courtyard, but no one else.

Gradually, I walked into the courtyard of the house. Instead of the willow trees that are everywhere in the house, this place is full of half-man-high shrubs, and the pond is not as natural as the rest of the place, but a chic but regular shape, built right in the middle of the yard, surrounded by surrounding bushes, leaving only a narrow path. Directly opposite the pond is a pavilion, on both sides of the pavilion is a symmetrical corridor, through the pavilion, you can vaguely see a three-open courtyard, presumably there is a place to stay.

I searched all over the mansion, but I didn't find You Ruojun's residence, so I guess there is only this place left. Looking at the layout here, although it is green but a little stereotypical, and there are so many shrubs here, only people who are familiar with magic know that shrubs have the effect of driving away evil spirits and nourishing spirits, if You Ruojun is really a demon catcher, then her residence is very likely to be arranged like this.

Intuitively, I cautiously approached the courtyard, and the closer I got, the clearer I could hear the voices coming from the house. For a moment, my nerves tensed again, because the human voice I heard came from the person who was wandering in my heart—Meng Yunzhong.

"Ruojun, you can rest first, I won't be here with you tonight. ”

I felt a chill in my heart, I didn't expect that the first thing I heard would be like this, could it be that they have ...... I suddenly felt a complete sense of loss, and then, cold self-deprecation, I came here, did I add melancholy to myself?

"Yun Zhong ......"

It was You Ruojun's voice, for some reason, when I heard this voice, I suddenly felt a very thick hatred, and for a moment I just wanted to immediately implement the deal with the fox demon.

But when I continued to reminisce, I found that the voice was a little strange, and it should have been a little weak. I felt a little happy in my heart, so I moved closer into the room and went all the way to the window.

Through the gap in the open window, I saw You Ruojun lying on the bed, his face was indeed a little pale, and his expression was distant, as if he was really sick, and he was not lightly ill.

"Brother Yi has gone to the outside of the payer, you can lie down for a while, and when he comes back from taking the medicine, you will be fine after eating. ”

Meng Yunzhong had already walked to the door, but when he heard You Ruojun's call, he couldn't help but turn around and cover the quilt for her, but his words had already explained that he had made up his mind.

"......" You Ruojun wanted to speak and stopped, but he could only look at Meng Yunzhong's back with a helpless and melancholy expression.

Meng Yunzhong walked out of the room and gently closed the door, and at this moment, I suddenly felt jealous again. Because at this moment I vividly remembered the days and days when he took care of me in the cabin, and he did the same, gently closing the door for me, but only after I had "fallen asleep". At that time, he didn't know that his every move was watched by me. Thinking of this, I balanced a lot more, because he didn't seem to have such patience with You Ruojun.

Watching Meng Yunzhong leave, I wanted to go up and stop him, ask him if he remembered the days we spent in the wooden house together, and tell him that I was back. But at this time, I can't just show up rashly, he is a mortal, I can only get along with him as a mortal in order to maintain that beautiful stability, if I break this boundary, I am afraid, I will not even have a chance to see him again.

Meng Yunzhong quickly walked to the door of the courtyard, but suddenly stopped and paused, and measured my head in the direction where I was hiding, and I immediately became nervous. But then he continued to move, out of the courtyard, and in the opposite direction. I watched his back to myself, and the throbbing in my heart calmed down a little, and then I looked at the wooden house again.

I originally thought that You Ruojun would play the same trick with me, but seeing that she was still lying weakly on the bed, I knew that she was really sick.

So, Meng Yunzhong didn't go back to the wooden house because she was sick......? Together......

I seemed to breathe a sigh of relief silently, but the fox demon's trade suddenly filled my heart. I watched her smile coldly, fade away from the hidden realm, and then boldly opened the door and walked in front of her, smiling at her horror.

"You ......" she opened her mouth wide at first, but at last she did not cry out, but left only a face full of surprise and doubt, and then, it turned into annoyance.

"You haven't ...... yet Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?" she growled hatefully.

"I'm not dead yet, yes, the poison doesn't seem to be that powerful. Moreover, I only said that I would not come to him again, but I did not say that I would not come to you. I smiled faintly at her, knowing that she was a little uncomfortable laughing.

She barely supported herself on her elbows, her eyes glaring at me hatefully, and she gasped loudly as if in pain. Looking at her appearance, I seemed to think that she was a dying old woman, and even breathing seemed to be laborious, and even in the corners of her eyes, I seemed to really see a few wrinkles.

She stared at the direction of my gaze, suddenly became nervous, quickly turned her face sideways, and whispered at me:

"Get out! Get out, I'll not offend you again, and don't come to me!"

I was a little surprised by her reaction, but I immediately laughed again.

"Are you so afraid of me? Sister You...... Catchers, demons, people—"

She was speechless, still with her back to me.

"I forgot to tell you that the fox demon wants to make a deal with me. ”

She turned her head abruptly and stared at me, trying to speak. Seeing her somewhat excited reaction, I became more and more interested.

"You...... What exactly do you ...... What do you want to do?"

She endured it for a moment, guessing that I already knew about her poisoning the fox demon. In fact, when she suddenly appeared in front of me that night, ready to use the demon water against me, it probably didn't matter if I knew it or not. But she didn't seem to expect that the demon poison didn't take my life.

"Do you remember? You promised me to take good care of Brother Yun Zhong, but now he is taking care of you, is this a breach of promise?"

Thinking about what she had done that day, and how much she loved Meng Yunzhong, I became more and more out of balance. Maybe at that time, I thought that I was going to disappear completely, so I hoped that someone could take care of Meng Yunzhong for me, but now, I am alive and well. What burns most in a woman's heart is the flame of competing with another woman for the heart of the same man. Since I haven't left yet, why should I choose to give it up, and moreover, to someone I don't like very much.

She seemed to understand what I was trying to guess what I was thinking.

"Originally, I didn't want to agree to the fox demon's deal, but now I am really angry to see you ignore your promise to me like this. I said it so calmly, so calmly that it made her seem a little stiff.

"What deal is she going to make with you?" she hesitated, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"Can't you guess?" I looked at her indifferently.

"Damn fox demon, does she want you to kill me?"

"Sister You, I knew you wouldn't be so stupid. ”

She suddenly looked resentful, and there seemed to be a few lines on her forehead.

"However, I haven't considered whether or not to make this deal with her, after all, I have a much deeper friendship with you than she does, and besides, there are still promises between you and me that have not been fulfilled. ”

She didn't seem to be listening to me, and she must be in a complicated state of mind right now. Her eyes wandered away, as if looking in a further direction, maybe because I didn't tell her that I was going to kill her now, so she calmed down a little, or maybe maybe she wasn't struggling with my deal with the fox demon, but something else.

"Sister You. I smiled coldly, and she suddenly woke up from her thoughts.

"Then what the hell are you doing with me?"

"Actually, it's nothing, the fox demon told me you live here, I just want to come and see. ”

"Look at what?" her anger shifted to mine again.

"Let's see if you and Brother Yun Zhong are doing well without me. However, it doesn't seem to be as sweet as I thought. ”

Until this time, I still didn't miss the opportunity to ridicule her, but looking at her current sick appearance, I was inexplicably half a little more hesitant, and if I killed her now, I don't know if it would have an impact on Meng Yunzhong. Immediately, I was in a state of confusion again, and suddenly I did not understand the purpose of my trip. Even if it is confirmed that Meng Yunzhong does live here, even if I see You Ruojun's unhappy life now, even if I tell her that I was not poisoned, even if I have the opportunity to laugh at her and ridicule her, but so what? I don't even know how Meng Yunzhong thinks of my sudden disappearance, let alone how You Ruojun explained it to him, if I rashly appear in front of him, what else will he have besides the same surprise as You Ruojun? Will he be with me without hesitation? Will he let go of his marriage contract with You Ruojun? And the fox demon's deal has been haunting my heart, those two secrets really surprised me, I really want to know the answer immediately, what is there between me and Meng Yunzhong, and between my mother that I don't know?

"As long as you're not there, I can live a good life with him without being interfered with by others. ”

You Ruojun's words woke me up, and I looked at her coldly, as if I wanted to see her through and shatter, but in the end I still laughed.

"Sister You, do you want to make a bet with me? If you win, I won't make that deal with the fox demon, if you lose......"

She still looked at me with such hatred, because she knew that she would have to fight this bet if she didn't fight.

"Within two months, if you can marry Brother Yun Zhong, I will let you go. I will not interfere with your affairs, but you must not interfere with what I am going to do. How?"

"Ridiculous. ”

She held back for a long time, and only said two words, even if she was angry and dissatisfied, she was helpless to go. I looked at her and smiled, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for her now, although her tone was full of disdain, but it was really difficult to hide the anxiety that came out of it, as if someone had been sucked away from her confidence, and perhaps even she herself could not determine whether she could win the bet.
