The winding path of Jiujian Villa is not a thousand turns, but there is a high holly fence between the backyard and the main courtyard on both sides, and it runs through one by one, which one is exactly the same at first glance, it seems to be a maze, which is a headache for people.

Ning Jun cherished that even if he was a half-road idiot, it was a strange place with black lights and blind fire, and he plunged into the holly forest, and he couldn't get out of it.

He stopped, looked up at the sky without stars and moons, it was gloomy, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this god is really good at joking with him.

He originally thought that he could meet the patrolling disciples and ask them to take him out of this ghost place, but after a long time, he didn't see a single disciple.

After thinking about it carefully, it was estimated that the group of people in the Ox Ear Cave Heaven had made a fuss, and the patrol disciples ran to deal with it, so he completely gave up this idea.

"If I hadn't been injured, I could have used a wind charm to resist the wind with light skills. Ning Jun thought indignantly, and was instantly stupid, "I won't be trapped here all night, or if I am found by the old man, the old man will not laugh at me." ”

"Furball, you run around and show me the way. Ning Junxi whispered to coax the hairball.

"Master, if I can't find it, won't you still look for me?" said the furball wagging his tail and winking.

The corner of Ning Junxi's eyes twitched, "You won't be able to find me?"

The hairball rubbed Ning Jun's cheek and babbled innocently.

Ning Jun's face darkened, this little thing would not speak if he was weak-hearted, and then he would be coquettish and cute, but Ning Jun had nothing to do.

He estimated that the hairball was afraid that he would also get lost, and when he came back, he was laughed at again, and he was speechless, and he said in his heart that cats and mice would catch mice, what would this little guy do besides eating.

Then, he was slightly stunned, yes, the hairball is a foodie, nothing else, it is not easy for him to find food, and hurriedly said, "Take me to the kitchen, which is the place where the smell of food is there." ”

The furball blinked, jumped to the ground, and sprang out.

"Maoqiu, slow down!" Ning Junxi hurriedly said.

The furball turned around and ran back, blinking around the corner not far away.

Ning Junxi hurriedly caught up, "Maoqiu, I'll give you a chicken leg when I go out." ”

The hairball immediately said, "That master owes me two." ”

Ning Jun was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "You remember this clearly." ”

The furball blinked and ran out again.

At this time, something moved in Ning Junxi's pocket, and then a small thing slipped out of Ning Junxi's pocket.

The little monster quickly chirped twice.

"Do what?"

Jun Xi took the little gourd in his hand and shook it.

The little gourd opened its teeth and claws for a while.

Ning Junxi sighed softly, threw the little gourd into his pocket, and touched the little monster, "You are still obedient." ”

The mob chirped again.

Ning Junxi looked up to find the hairball, but he didn't see its shadow, so he hurriedly shouted, "The hairball!"

The night is dark and the surroundings are quiet.

"Probably went to steal it. Ning Junxi was very helpless to hold his forehead, and began to walk away with his feelings again.

This time, he should be able to walk out, after all, the general direction of the furball is known.

......

The night mist surged in the cool breeze, and the orange firelight flickered up and down, beating in a trance.

At the exit of the path on both sides of the holly row, there is an old crane-haired woman with a pale face bowing her head and burning yellow paper, and occasionally the night wind blows up the ashes, which shine slightly in the sky and quickly extinguish.

On the cobblestone road, a gray-clothed young man saw the firelight, paused slightly, and came quickly.

The young man's footsteps were very soft, and it was not until he was only ten feet away from the old woman that the old woman noticed it, got up in a panic, turned around and left.

"Mother-in-law!" the young man hurriedly shouted.

The old woman's pace not only did not slow down, but became more hasty.

The young man was worried that he couldn't find anyone, where was he willing to give up, so he ran quickly, "Mother-in-law, the kid is lost, just ask for directions." ”

The old woman didn't listen at all, and anxiously plunged into the flowers and trees, but in the end, she was old and weak, and in a hurry she tripped over the uneven clods of earth, and her body fell forward.

Fortunately, she pulled the old woman back with a small force, and the old woman took a few steps back, and was held up steadily.

"Mother-in-law be careful. The boy said gently.

This young man who walked out of the cobblestone path was naturally Ning Junxi, who was not easy to get around.

The old woman hurriedly lowered her head and took a few steps back, "The lowly person has disturbed Gongzi Yaxing." ”

Ning Junxi was a little strange, behaved decently, behaved in a panic but not rude, this old man didn't look like he had taken care of people all his life, but he didn't mean to inquire more, and said politely, "Mother-in-law, don't be nervous, I just want to go to Biluoxuan, but I don't know the way, do you know?"

The old woman's voice was hoarse, "I'm just an old woman who cleans the kitchen, and I've only been in this part of the kitchen, and I'm not familiar with other places." ”

Ning Junxi was a little disappointed, "Does the mother-in-law know that there are other people around here?" My parents are waiting for me, and the elders may be worried if they are late." ”

"The long-term workers in the kitchen all sleep in the backyard, old woman

You can take Childe with you. The old woman had a stiff back and lowered her head.

The corner of Ning Junxi's eyes twitched, he had just come from the backyard, and said resignedly, "Did the mother-in-law see a white cat, the size of a palm, I saw it running this way." ”

"I haven't seen it. ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law. Ning Junxi was a little helpless, this question was really a headache, so he reminded casually, "Is my mother-in-law burning paper money for her dead relatives, then don't burn it here, be careful of being seen by the people in the village, you may be in trouble." ”

"Yes. The old woman lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye.

"Huh?" Ning Jun was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was talking too much, and he was a little embarrassed, "Mother-in-law, where do you live, or should I send you back?"

"The old woman will go back now, and she won't bother her son. The old woman bowed her head and took a few steps back, then turned and trotted away along the cobblestone road.

Ning Junxi shrugged his shoulders, didn't think much about it anymore, turned around to look around, scratched his head, and muttered strangely, "I feel like I've run in this direction." ”

He cautiously walked forward, calling softly, "Hairball! hairball......"

The night was dark, and soon only human figures remained, gradually turning into a vague mist.

......

The night light is dim, and the chrysanthemums can still be seen blooming brilliantly, and the cool breeze blows, and the branches and leaves of the flowers and trees will tremble slightly, and they seem to emit a faint fluorescence in the dim light.

The gray-haired old woman sat on her knees in the bushes, burying her head in her knees, and her body seemed to radiate a glow.

"Bilo. The middle-aged man with the long sword on his back slowly walked into the flowers and trees and shouted faintly.

"Third uncle. The old woman raised her head and shouted out a not-so-believable title.

The middle-aged man bowed slightly, and said lightly, "Jing Yuan has come out of Biluoxuan, and is ready to go out to have a look." ”

The old woman's expression was stagnant, and her eyes were gloomy for a few breaths, "Thank you Third Uncle for informing me." ”

The middle-aged man frowned, "You'd better go and meet him." ”

The old woman's eyes became more and more gloomy, "If he is well, it will be better not to see him." ”

"He's probably not coming back. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still reminded.

The old woman was shocked, "Why?"

The middle-aged man turned around and said lightly, "You go and ask yourself." ”

"Third uncle!" the old woman shouted with some pleading.

The middle-aged man never looked back.

The old woman hugged her knees, and gradually her body trembled slightly.

The night breeze is slightly cool, and the flowers and trees make a rustling sound.

Seems to be crying.
