When the four of them returned to Miao Village, it was already evening, and they saw that the village was full of joy and set up a flowing water seat. The children chased and played around the long table, laughing and laughing. The old woman was originally choosing vegetables and washing dishes with a group of women, and when she saw this, she hurriedly got up and beckoned them: "Four, come quickly." ”

"Is this a happy event?" Xiao Mu asked.

In the afternoon, there were a lot of veiled purple-clothed girls in the village, saying that they were sent by the Five Immortals Sect to punish the defectors. Seeing that we were poisoned by Gu a lot, we took out the golden pill to treat us, and gave a lot of silver to those who were doing funerals. The old woman was relieved: "This catastrophe has finally passed." ”

"Will all the people in the village come to the banquet tonight?" asked Liu Xunyin.

"Some families have a lot of casualties, and they are too sad to come. The old woman said, "Most of the people in the village are of the same clan, and they will find a way to help them tide over the difficulties." ”

Seeing a few people with sad faces, the old woman hurriedly said: "Hey, look at my mouth, don't say anything, you are our great benefactors, you must eat and drink well tonight, don't get drunk and don't return." Come into your seat, and I'll go cook first." The old woman smiled and turned away.

"If they knew that those purple-clothed girls were the real murderers of the Gu, they would probably be angry. Xiao Mu covered his mouth with a fan and whispered to Wen Yan.

"Don't gossip. Wen Ember looked grim. Xiao Mu was bored, shrugged his shoulders and turned around to look for wine at the banquet.

Tang Qiqi lowered his eyes, still immersed in sadness.

"Sister. The little kite grabbed the hem of her skirt and handed over a sugar man: "This is what Uncle Li made for me when he tricked me into drinking bitter medicine in the afternoon, give it to my sister, don't be sad." ”

Xu is because the Gu poison had just dissipated, the little kite's face was still very pale, Tang Qiqi picked her up, took the sugar man and smiled: "Okay, then my sister will eat it all." You're just sick, and you're not allowed to eat sugar, don't you hear me? ”

"Sister. The little kite stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and said coquettishly: "I'll just taste it, just one bite." ”

"No, unless you learn how to meow. Tang Qiqi said with a smile. The little kite obediently did so, everyone laughed, and the days of running and toil disappeared at this moment.

The flowing water banquet lasted until late at night, and Liu Xunyin was flushed by the hospitable residents of the village, and when he couldn't refuse, he slipped out under the pretense of sleepiness.

When I returned to the inn, I saw Tang Qiqi sitting on the roof and stroking a handful of silver combs. Liu Xunyin climbed up and sat down beside her and handed her a candied fruit. Tang Qiqi stuffed it into his mouth and smiled lightly.

"Are you thinking about Geboshu?" asked Liu Xunyin.

"Hmm. Tang Qiqi nodded lightly: "She is a person like Yue'er, pampered and domineering, but with good intentions and jealousy and hatred." ”

She seemed to be caught up in the memories and told the story of the past.

"When I was a child, my grandfather raised me five excellent white foxes, with shiny fur and a docile temperament, and they have always accompanied me to grow up. Grandpa has high hopes for me, and he doesn't want me to have a poor talent, I can't stand the cold air, and I can't bear to kill a fox to take blood and refine poison. In the winter when I was eight years old, my grandfather dressed me in a thin winter coat and threw it into the snow and ice along with the white foxes, where the temperature was extremely low and there was no food, and either they died or I died. I don't remember how I killed them, but all I remember was a white patch of snow, and the ground was blood-red and steaming. ”

"When I got home, I was very sick and bedridden. It was at that time that Geboshu appeared, and she was the daughter of the leader of the Five Immortals Sect. Only the two factions on the rivers and lakes are good at poison arts, and they have close contacts, and she followed her father to Forget Worries Valley as a guest. The adults were busy for a few days without seeing anyone, so she stayed with me all day long, and when she saw that I was tortured to death by the cold poison, she secretly passed on all her skills to me. She was originally talented, but because of this, she fell behind a lot of her fellow disciples and was scolded by her father. ”

"What happened later?" Liu Xunyin held her hand and asked softly, "Xin Yishu her...... And what did you do?"

Gboshu was so obedient that on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, he was announced to be the next leader. I was so happy when I heard that I sent two of my favorite white foxes as gifts. The spirit snakes she raised have a follow-up personality, they are very well-behaved, and they don't attack people easily, Xin Yishu doesn't know how to stimulate them and bite Ge Boshu to death. When she died, Xin Yishu pretended to go over to help her, she was afraid that Xin Yishu would also be bitten, and pushed her away. Later, according to her last wishes, her father returned the white fox back to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, along with this silver comb that she cherished the most. ”

Tang Qiqi rubbed the comb in his hand: "When Yue'er first appeared, she was unconscious in the ice and snow. Later, Orion told me that she had seen two white foxes hunting after me, and that she had been seriously injured when they had fled and fled to protect them. The white fox had spirituality, one of them stayed by her side, and the other dragged me over with his mouth on the tube of my pants. I saw her like I saw Gboshu. ”

"I took care of her, just as Gboscho took care of me when I was a child. Later, when Yue'er was going back to Yangzhou, I gave her a slight poison, because I wanted her to stay with me, and even if she had to leave, she could come back to me regularly. She's silly, and I'm afraid she'll disappear like Gboshu when she meets the bad guys. Tang Qiqi smiled self-deprecatingly: "Sister Xunyin, you say, am I stupid." ”

"You're not stupid at all. Liu Xunyin rubbed her head: "I think that Geboshu will look at you with a smile when he is in the sky." Maybe Yue'er was sent by her to accompany you. ”

"Really?" Tang Qiqi asked her seriously.

"Really. Liu Xunyin held her hand tightly: "Life is too short, you and her will meet again one day." So you must live well, only in this way, when you meet her again, can you share the wonderful scenery of this world with her. ”

"If you care, go up and accompany you, why eavesdrop here. Wen Ember walked up to Xiao Mu and said. The two stood silently at the window.

Xiao Mu remembered that Tang Qiqi worked hard to help him suck out the snake venom during the day, touched the wound and smiled bitterly: "Sometimes, I'm really scared...... I don't deserve the good ...... others treat me."

"What is unworthy, only dare or not. Ember asked, "Where have you just been?"

"Didn't go anywhere. ”

Wen Shen plucked the leaves between Xiao Mu's hair: "This kind of tree is only found on Wangu Mountain, and there is night dew on your clothes, don't try to hide it from me." ”

"I just bought wine. Xiao Mu shook the wine jug in his hand: "The wine at the banquet is like water." The leaves may have been accidentally picked up during the day. ”

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Wen Yan didn't ask much, and said coldly: "You're not afraid that there is Gu in it, this wine hasn't been checked yet." ”

"Nearly 100 years of aging, tightly sealed, there will be no problem. Xiao Mu smiled and threw him a bottle of Centennial Spring: "When I was in Yunlonemen, Song Ling, a cold-blooded killer, was known to everyone, and no one knew about it. How did he change his mind as soon as he washed his hands in a golden basin and began to act chivalrous and righteous. With such a dual identity, how do you flexibly switch between them? ”

"There were people I wanted to protect before, and I still want to protect them. Wen Ember raised his head and poured a sip of wine: "What about you, why did you enter the Cloud Silence Gate." ”

"I'm for money, fame and fortune. In fact, I started late, and it was the master of the door who valued me. ”

"Then what are you going to do with us?"

"Hey, don't talk to death. Xiao Mu smiled: "Your straightforward personality is really unpleasant." ”

"Really?" Ember froze for a moment and took a sip of wine.

"Don't worry, Miss Sound won't mind. Xiao Mu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "A cold killer like you is like a pot of charcoal fire to her, it's really rare." ”

"She's kind by nature and kind to everyone. Ember said.

Xiao Mu sneered: "Just now you advised me to be brave, you yourself are not the same." Forget it, don't think about it, after a tiring day, go back to sleep. ”

Ember frowned and thought for a moment, then drank the wine in the pot and turned to leave.

Night.

The senior sister in the dream was locked in a dark dungeon, her hair was messy on her chest, the corners of her mouth were bruised and swollen, and her face was pale because of long-term poisoning, and she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive.

"Who are you. She looked up at Ember, and there was no sparkle in her dark eyes.

"Senior sister, it's me, Ember. Wen Ember happily walked over and held her hand: "Are you still alive?"

Senior sister's pale and chapped lips opened slightly, but she couldn't answer a word.

"Ash. An indifferent male voice sounded behind him.

"Uncle!" Wen Ember was so frightened that he retreated again and again, pulling out the sword at his waist and pointing at him, "Aren't you dead?"

"I'm dead, but you're still alive. Uncle slashed over, and Wen Ember dodged sideways, wanting to fight back, but as soon as the sword touched, the opponent's body turned into a phantom.

"Ember, get out of here. The senior sister shouted behind her, "You can't beat it, go quickly." The wound on her chest kept pouring red blood, and she couldn't stop pressing.

"Ember, get out of here. ”

"Ash!"

"Ember, get out of here. ”

"Ash!"

The voices of the elder sister and uncle came and went. Ember woke up from his dream and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Liu Xunyin was sewing insect repellent sacs for the little kite by the window, and the oil lamp flickered and went out. I heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor from the next room. She pushed the door in, saw Wen Ember slumped on the floor, and walked over to hold his wrist: "Ah Ember, you are extremely angry, calm down!"

"Searching for sound. The senior sister is still alive, locked in a dark dungeon, tortured day and night. Wen Ember grabbed her arm: "You accompany me to find her, okay?"

"You're just having a nightmare. Liu Xunyin wiped the fine beads of sweat from his head with a handkerchief: "Excessive fatigue during the day, plus drinking alcohol at night, it is normal to have nightmares." Senior sister, she must have voted for a good family, don't think about it, she is good. ”

"I'll make you a bowl of soothing tea, you calm down first, okay?" Liu Xunyin comforted softly.

"Don't bother. ”

"It's okay, you wait. Liu Xunyin pushed open the door and left. Wen Ember walked to the window to blow the cold wind, took out the purple brocade silk in his arms, and a bright moon in the night sky shimmered with brilliant brilliance.
