Chapter 318: The Fox and the Masked

"At the beginning, I fainted...... Xu Xueying's voice sounded a little low in the cave, Shen Shi looked at her with some concern, but seeing that Xu Xueying's demeanor and complexion didn't seem to be unusual, he didn't interrupt her, but sat beside her and listened quietly.

"I don't know how these bandits used to charm me and a few of the guards who came with me, but when I woke up, I found that my hands and feet were tied to death, and even my mouth was gagged and thrown on a carriage. Later, they took me all the way to escape non-stop, and sat in one teleportation circle after another, and came to Lanzhou. ”

When she said this, Xu Xueying's face began to darken a little, a trace of dazedness flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "At that time, I was so scared, especially every time I passed a teleportation circle, I knew that I was thousands of miles away from home, and the hope that they could find me and save me was a little smaller." Her face looked a little pale at this time, Shen Shi sighed in his heart, thinking that this girl has been held in the palm of her hand by countless people since she was a child, and she is deeply favored by the Xu family, not to mention any major injuries, I am afraid that she may not even have a slightly heavier scolding.

It is conceivable that this time she was suddenly taken away and suffered such a heavy and terrible injury, what a heavy blow it would be to Xu Xueying, a girl, and how much fright she would be subjected, to be honest, after putting herself in Xu Xueying's shoes, even Shen Shi himself felt that Xu Xueying had not cried and gone crazy at the moment, and even could still maintain such a calm mood, which was really a bit unexpected. It seems that she is also a naturally calm and bold character, if she stands out more in her cultivation talent, she is afraid that her future achievements are really limitless, and it is no wonder that the Xu family has always valued this girl so much.

"What happened later?" Feeling that Xu Xueying was silent for a while, Shen Shi couldn't help but ask.

Xu Xueying's eyes flickered, and said, "Later, I thought about it, but I'm afraid that this time no one will come to save me again." On weekdays, when I was with these three bandits, I also heard that they were going to give me to some old monster as an offering, and the woman named Ah Hong gloated and said to me, "Every girl who gives it to an old monster is not ...... If you don't play with it, you will die miserably in a few days, and then you will be thrown naked into the deep mountains and old forests, and you will be eaten by those fierce beasts and monsters. ”

In the end, Xu Xueying's voice sounded a little trembling, Shen Shi's face was gloomy, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he saw that Xu Xueying's white little hands seemed to be clenched very tightly and trembled gently, obviously very nervous at the moment, as if he remembered something terrible.

Shen Shi sighed softly, shook his head, reached out and gently held her hand in his palm, and then said gently: "Okay, don't say it, it's all over." ”

Maybe it was Shen Shi's words that gave Xu Xueying some comfort, or maybe the warmth of his palm was so comfortable to his cold hands, which made her fiercely beating heart slowly calm down, and Xu Xueying slowly quieted down.

Although Shen Shi didn't know how this girl escaped last night, but at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to ask any more, this matter may not be important at all, the most important thing is that everything is okay with the person in front of him, isn't it?

It's just that just as he was about to avoid this question and wanted to ask Xu Xueying not to speak and take a good rest, Xu Xueying suddenly turned her head and looked at him quietly, her palm in the palm of his hand suddenly opened, and her soft fingers grabbed the edge of his palm from the side, and grasped it very tightly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Shi asked as he looked at her and was a little puzzled.

Xu Xueying kept looking at the man in front of her like that, and there was light in her eyes that flowed quietly like water waves, and after a while, she spoke: "Brother Shen, do you know, these days, there are many times when I am really scared. ”

Shen Shi's heart ached slightly, and he just wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, but he only heard Xu Xueying continue to speak, saying:

"I'm afraid I'm going to die like this, I'm afraid that I'll really be able to live until now in this life, I'm afraid I'll never see my father and mother again, I'm afraid I still have a lot of things to do, but it's too late to do them...... I have a lot of things I want to say, but I don't have a chance to say them in the bottom of my heart. ”

"I'm so scared...... I'm afraid I'm really dead......" Her voice slowly choked, a line of crystal tears slipped down her cheeks, Shen Shi let her hold her hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Perhaps, people always have to go through some things to understand and understand some truths, but sometimes the cost in the middle may not be borne by everyone.

In a slight trembling and choking voice, Xu Xueying slowly raised her head, and under her teary-eyed but more and more delicate face, she seemed to have suddenly grown up a lot. She looked at Shen Shi like that, and suddenly there was a smile in her tears, a relieved and joyful smile, and said softly:

"Brother Shen, I'm also very afraid, I'm afraid that I'll never see you again, I'm afraid that before I die, I won't have a chance to say something to you. ”

She grabbed Shen Shi's palm, brave, firm, and smiling, as if she wanted to say to him that she was full of youthful breath and full of the most beautiful and tender heart in her life:

"I like you, Brother Shen. ”

At the foot of the Yellow Phosphorus Mountain, the masked old man walked down slowly, his eyes flashing, as if he had been thinking about something. Although the tragic situation in that cave was terrifying, it was certainly impossible for a character like him to shake his mind, but it aroused his desire to pursue a little, but even if he wanted to investigate, even with his ability at the moment, it felt a little tricky.

The dead man on the mountain had been dead for a day, and that time was enough for the murderer to escape far away, especially if the murderer was a monk who could navigate the sky, and it was almost impossible to find him again. But despite this, the masked old man did not look annoyed or disappointed, because with so many years of experience, he had already understood a lot of things.

For example, it is impossible for everyone in this world to be uninvolved, and there will always be all kinds of cause and effect entangled. Since there are no clues to be found in this yellow phosphorus mountain, then perhaps we should trace the various causes and effects of those dead people before they died. If he's not mistaken......

The masked old man turned his head coldly and looked in a certain direction to the north, where there might be something he wanted to know in the far distance, in that black wood city.

The mind was set, the masked old man no longer hesitated, and he was about to walk over there, but at this time, suddenly from a bush more than ten zhang away from his side, suddenly jumped out of a fox, the whole body was snow-white, and he called "Yo Yo" twice in his mouth, and then stood at the edge of the forest and turned his head to look around, and then saw the figure here, and suddenly two faint green fox eyes also fell on the body of the masked old man.

The masked old man's footsteps that had just been lifted suddenly retracted.

(It's the first day of February.) ）
