Chapter 171: A knock on the door

Looking at the smiling woman who walked over, the youth and beauty seemed to be shining with bright light all over her body, and there were still some vague memories between the outlines of her face, Shen Shi suddenly felt an inexplicable sigh in his heart.

For a long time, his interpersonal circle in the Lingxiao Sect is not very large, and the comings and goings are basically just a few friends who can talk, as for the other fellow disciples and brothers, of course, they will not be completely strangers, but at most they are just nodding friends.

And in his circle of friends back then, He Xiaomei was actually one, although it was not as close as the two sisters of the Zhong family who had a close relationship with him, but they also met and laughed and talked on weekdays. However, after going to Jinhong Mountain, especially after he returned from the demon world, perhaps there was a secret pressed in his heart, Shen Shi intentionally or unintentionally compressed a few points of his fellow disciples, and the friends who can speak so far are almost Sun You and Zhong Qinglu Zhong Qingzhu, of course, now under the seat of Elder Pu Siyi in the Shutang, there is another senior sister Xu Yanzhi.

In addition to these few people, Shen Shi is relatively estranged from his former friends, and he doesn't have much contact with He Xiaomei, in fact, Jin Hongshan is so big, and there are many disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, if he didn't go to the cave to visit, it is indeed not very easy to meet in ordinary times, but when Shen Shi was injured in Gaoling Mountain a while ago and was sent back, he heard afterwards that He Xiaomei actually came to visit him.

With this relationship, Shen Shi felt a little warm in his heart, and greeted the beautiful woman who came with a smile: "Long time no see." As he spoke, he glanced behind He Xiaomei, and sure enough, not far behind her, he saw another tall young man, needless to say, it was Jiang Hongguang, it seems that after so many years, this person has always been friendly with He Xiaomei, but I don't know what is the relationship between the two of them now?

However, after these few steps, He Xiaomei in front of him had a little surprise smile on her face, but Jiang Hongguang, who was following him, was pale, as if she was a little unhappy, and it seemed that the appearance was almost the same as in her memory a few years ago.

For such a man, Shen Shi and Sun You naturally had no interest in greeting each other, they just glanced at it and then looked away and talked to He Xiaomei, and Sun You seemed to be even worse, originally it looked faint, but after glancing at Jiang Hongguang, he suddenly became a lot more enthusiastic about He Xiaomei, pulled her over, stood next to Shen Shi, and laughed and talked, a few words made He Xiaomei cover her mouth and chuckle, and Jiang Hongguang, who was standing behind her, suddenly looked a little ugly, and looked at Sun You with a little more hostility in his eyes。

Sun You turned a blind eye to Jiang Hongguang's hostility, and Shen Shi was also amused when he watched it on the side, but he also had a little disdain in his heart for Jiang Hongguang's faint act of treating He Xiaomei as his forbidden thing, but after all, this matter had nothing to do with him, and He Xiaomei herself didn't seem to notice or have any disgust, so there was nothing to say. immediately smiled and said to He Xiaomei: "Let's talk here, what about you?"

He Xiaomei smiled and said, "I'm just working in the Hongjun Hall of the Instrument Hall now, I haven't seen you for a few days, did you heal the injury you suffered last time I went to the Gaoling Mountains?"

Shen Shi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault to say it, I heard that you came to see me last time, but I was so busy for a while that I forgot to look for you, I'm really sorry." ”

He Xiaomei glared at him, and said angrily, "Do you know what I mean by not bringing something over when I'm sorry?" said that he laughed again, and grinned, "Okay, okay, I know, you probably like to go to Senior Sister Qinglu and Senior Sister Qingzhu the most on weekdays." ”

"Hey......" Shen Shi choked on her, but Sun You laughed out loud next to him, leaned over and asked, "How do you know?"

He Xiaomei smiled: "I won't tell you." ”

Sun You laughed, but in the laughter, he glanced at Shen Shi beside him with a deep meaning in his eyes, Shen Shi shook his head, and then said sincerely: "Xiaomei, speaking of which, we are indeed old friends, and now we are practicing together on Zongmen Mountain, if there is anything you need help in the future, just come to me and Sun You, only if we can, we will ......."

"Xiaomei, she is practicing smoothly now, and she doesn't seem to need any special help from others. A flat voice suddenly sounded from the side, but Jiang Hongguang seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and said lightly behind He Xiaomei.

Shen Shi and Sun You's faces changed slightly, and they glanced at him, but Jiang Hongguang had a cold face, looking at them coldly, and the hostility in his eyes became stronger. The atmosphere seemed to be a little tense in an instant, He Xiaomei hurriedly smiled and said, "Where and where, we cultivators, the resources and spiritual materials required are innumerable, but if I really have any difficulties in the future and need help, you two guys must not pretend to be dead?"

Shen Shi and Sun You both nodded, Shen Shi smiled and said nothing, Sun You patted his chest and said proudly: "Joke, do you think I'm that kind of person!"

He Xiaomei stuck out her tongue, looked coquettish, grinned, and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you, I still have something to do over there, let's find a time to get together again and have a good chat." ”

Shen Shi nodded, and after a few words, his impression of He Xiaomei seemed to have returned to the cheerful and lively girl before, bringing a little warmth from the old days, smiling and nodding in agreement.

It's just that when He Xiaomei was just turning around to leave, suddenly, from the depths behind the Hongjun Hall in front of her, a sharp and high-pitched scream suddenly came, which sounded a little poignant, as if it was filled with great fear, and instantly suppressed all the voices near the viewing platform.

For a while, everyone was taken aback, and turned their heads to look in the direction of Hongjun Palace, He Xiaomei was also taken aback, and said in amazement: "Who is this, how can it be ......" While speaking, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the people around her and was about to ask, but suddenly she was stunned again, only to see Sun You and Shen Shi standing beside her, although they were also looking at Hongjun Hall at the same time, but their expressions were faintly a little strange.

※※※

In Liuyun City, a secluded small house.

Ling Chunni sat a little lazily in front of the window, looking at the small courtyard outside the window, and the sky farther and higher outside, for some reason, there was a little irritability in his heart.

Is it because I miss him, or is it because I've been stuck in this little house for a long time and I'm a little annoyed?

A black figure ran over from the grass in the yard, slid to the ground and rolled a few times, and then leaned under the trunk of the old locust tree and rubbed itself a few times, making a sound of satisfaction, which looked very cute and playful.

Looking at Xiao Hei's figure outside the window, Ling Chunni showed a little smile at the corner of his mouth, if it weren't for this little black pig as a companion, I was afraid that his life would be even more depressing.

Ling Chunni tilted his head slightly, as if he had thought of something, a warm smile slowly floated on the corner of his mouth, thinking in his heart that before he left last time, he had said that when he came again, maybe the wind outside would not be so tight anymore, and if he had the opportunity, he would take her out for a walk.

Do you have a place you'd like to visit?

Ling Chunni clearly remembered that he was like this at that time, smiling and hugging her, and asked softly.

Yes, where to go, the Hongmeng world is so big, I heard that there are countless magnificent and magical places, but I have almost only grown up near this Liuyun City since I was a child, maybe ...... You want to go to the legendary Tianhong City first, right?

Well, it's decided, next time he comes, I'll beg him to go to Tianhong City together!

Ling Chunni smiled secretly, there was a little warmth in his heart, it seemed that even his heartbeat was suddenly a little faster, and he couldn't help but press his chest with his hand. Just raised her hand, the corner of her eye swept over, but she saw something, and suddenly she was stunned, stretched out her left hand in front of her eyes, and looked carefully.

It was a white, delicate and soft palm, the skin was as shiny as snow, gentle and beautiful, but somehow, at this moment, on the inside of her left ring finger, there was a small piece of skin the size of a fingernail, and there was a little abnormality.

It was a strange appearance, the color was a little gray, it didn't look like it was caused by an inadvertent scratch on the skin, because there was no pain and no crack scar, but on a piece of white finger skin, there was a small piece of gray gray skin like dead wood, which was incompatible with the smooth and delicate skin around it.

Ling Chunni glanced at it twice, her good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she felt a little displeased in her heart. She is a woman who loves beauty very much, not to mention that now that she is with Shen Shi, she cares more about her beauty in her heart, and she can't wait to be so beautiful and soft for the rest of her life. After a moment of silence, she tried to wipe and rub it a few times, but although the gray between her fingers was narrow, the color seemed to seep out of the skin, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't erase it.

Ling Chunni shook her head and put away her palm, although her mood was a little unhappy, she quickly calmed down, after all, although this little flaw is not good-looking, it is really small on the first, and it is also hidden in a hidden place, ordinary people really can't notice it, even she herself doesn't know when this small piece of gray skin appeared.

Anyway, pay attention in the future, don't let Shen Shi see it.

A wistful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded secretly.

But it was at this time that Xiao Hei, who was lying lazily on the grass in the yard, suddenly paused, and then slowly got up from the ground, as if he suddenly felt something.

The courtyard is secluded, the sky is blue and the sun is white, a little breeze blows from an unknown place, and the branches and leaves of the old locust tree tremble slightly in the wind. The wind blew through the branches, across the grass, through the face of the woman in front of the window, and swept up a few strands of black hair on the sideburns of her gentle face.

The doors of the house were closed, and there was silence all around.

"Da-da, da-da. ”

A few knocks on the door, like a pebble suddenly falling in/into the calm water, broke the silence and echoed in front of the courtyard house.

Ling Chunni was stunned at first, then her face was happy, and she stood up suddenly, could it be that he came back? But then she was suddenly stunned again, but she saw that Xiao Hei in the courtyard was still standing in place, not rushing to the door as happily as when Shen Shi came back before, but staring coldly at the closed door, faintly revealing a bit of hostility.

Ling Chunni was instantly startled, Huo Ran turned his head and looked at the closed door.

Who's outside the door?
