Chapter 233: Words of the Heart

Deep in the mountains and barren mountains, in the middle of the night, a cold moon hangs high in the sky, and the moon shines like water, sprinkled on this remote mountain.

At the top of the hill, large boulders can be seen everywhere, the forest trees are slightly sparse, the cold night wind blows bleakly, and the shadows of the trees swing like ghost shadows jumping, exuding a gloomy meaning. Shen Shi closed his eyes tightly, lying on the edge of a big rock on the top of the mountain with a pale face, still unconscious and never woke up, not far from him, Xiao Hei stood aside and looked carefully and vigilantly at the dark night mountain forest around him, looking a little nervous and anxious.

The whirring mountain wind blew through, stirring a few hairs of Xiao Hei, and it suddenly glanced back at Shen Shi, only to see that Shen Shi's body seemed to tremble slightly because of the cold, but soon returned to the original calm and stopped moving.

Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran over, sniffing his nose around Shen Shi's face and neck for a while, seeing that he didn't react, and after waiting for a while, he tried to arch Shen Shi's face with his little pig's head, only to see Shen Shi's head tilted to the side, but there was still no sign of waking up.

Xiao Hei was silent for a moment, and then didn't try anything more, but slowly lay down on the ground beside Shen Shi, leaning on his body, as if to keep warm, and as if to shield him from the desolation of the night.

In such a desolate night, I don't know how long it took, under the cold moonlight, the mountains and forests swayed, like waves of shadows that only appeared in the dark, wave after wave, never ending.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei's nose twitched, and the gust of mountain wind blew beside him, as if bringing a strange breath in the wind. The little black pig seemed to be suddenly nervous, and it stood up at once, and turned to stare down the hill, looking at the shadows of the shadows, where not even the moonlight shone.

The colder the night, the mountains and forests shouted to the night sky like evil ghosts in the night wind, with a cold breath to the bone, wave after wave, and the strange breath in the wind slowly became stronger and became clearer.

It was bloody gas.

It's like walking through the sea of corpses and blood, stained with the smell of endless blood, so strong, even as if it stimulates this dark night, so that the originally cold and calm night has also surged, like a storm, like a frenzy, and becomes so terrifying.

Xiao Hei stared at the darkness that seemed to be dancing wildly at the moment, blocking in front of Shen Shi, motionless, without the slightest intention of retreating and cowering.

After a while, in the deepest part of the darkness, there was a sound of light footsteps, and there seemed to be some slight gasps in the middle, and a slender figure walked out of the depths of the darkness quietly, it was Zhong Qingzhu.

The moonlight was like water, falling on her body, pale but beautiful face, for some reason there was no beautiful breath like the fairy of the Moon Palace in the ancient legend, but at this moment, her figure seemed to be integrated with the terrible night, which was particularly dazzling and terrifying.

Because at this moment, on Zhong Qingzhu's body, from head to toe, almost every place was stained with traces of blood, and the blood was stained, as if he had just come out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses. The bloody aura was so strong that even she couldn't stand it.

Along the way, her face was always as pale as paper, and her body seemed to be faintly trembling and unstable, but after Xiao Hei saw her figure, although she didn't rush forward with great joy, she could see that she was also relieved.

Zhong Qingzhu walked over slowly, his clothes were a dazzling blood red, and on the edge of the sleeves of his hands, he could even see one or two drops of residual blood slowly dripping, staining a piece of dirt at his feet. Looking back at the road she had walked, there were faintly faint blood-colored footprints that were getting lighter and lighter.

Walking up, Zhong Qingzhu first glanced at Xiao Hei who was standing in front of him, and then his eyes fell on Shen Shi, who was lying unconscious on the ground, looking at the same pale face, there was a bit of concern in her eyes.

It's just that after a while, she suddenly frowned, as if she was a little unwell and seemed to think of something, her eyes swept over the blood-red color on her body, and suddenly her face turned pale, and then she rushed to the side suddenly, and even startled Xiao Hei, jumped to the side, and then looked at Zhong Qingzhu with a little puzzled eyes.

The woman, who was covered in blood in the middle of this cold night, was now throwing herself next to a big rock next to her, her body tensed, bending over the ground, there was no longer the slightest blood on her face, and she suddenly retched violently.

Her whole body trembled incessantly, as if she was surrounded by endless nightmares, and as if she was in the most terrible nightmare and could not wake up, she wailed in pain and retched, and in that violent trembling, there seemed to be a faint teardrop of water in the corners of her eyes.

※※※

After a long time, Zhong Qingzhu slowly calmed down, and after resting for a while panting, he finally seemed to have calmed down, and then turned around and walked back.

The night wind blew, and the bloody aura on her body was still so strong, which made Xiao Hei feel a little uncomfortable, and he snorted in a low voice.

Zhong Qingzhu stopped on Xiao Hei's body, glanced at it, Xiao Hei muttered in his mouth, and finally let go.

The corners of Zhong Qingzhu's pale face moved slightly, looking like she was smiling slightly, she squatted down, stretched out her palm, and touched Xiao Hei's head.

Maybe it was because the inexplicable bloody aura on her body was too strong, or because of other reasons, Xiao Hei seemed to be a little resistant to Zhong Qingzhu's palm, and gently took half a step back, but he still quickly stood up. Zhong Qingzhu's white palm landed on its head, touched its smooth and supple fur a few times, and then said softly:

"Xiao Hei, I know that you and the stone are the best, and you have been watching him all the time, right?"

Little Black snorted twice.

Zhong Qingzhu smiled, then walked to Shen Shi's side, and didn't care about the ground with rocks and dust, just sat down casually. Her eyes looked at the unconscious man, at his familiar face, and for a long time she didn't speak, just stared deeply like this.

It seems that this is the first time in so many years that he has taken a good look at him so carefully.

The moonlight is like water, illuminating the contours of his eyebrows, the scenes in the past time are distant or profound, and the memories buried deep in his heart are like flowing water, and in this cold night, his face seems to slowly overlap with the past years.

She slowly stretched out her hand, her fingertips suddenly trembled slightly, and she wanted to gently touch his face, what kind of temperature would the skin on his face be?

It's just that when her fingers were about to approach Shen Shi's cheek, she suddenly saw that there were mottled blood-colored marks between her palm and her originally white and slender fingers.

At this time, Xiao Hei, who was already lying on the ground next to Shen Shi at some point, tilted his head after looking up at Zhong Qingzhu.

Zhong Qingzhu sat quietly beside Shen Shi, as if she was contemplative, and as if she was simply looking at him, she couldn't see any more strange looks on her face that was gradually regaining her calmness, and after a while, she suddenly shouted:

"Blackie. ”

Xiao Hei's mouth moved, and after a while, half of the half-bitten unknown spirit grass root was revealed.

"Don't you like me?" Zhong Qingzhu turned around, his tone was calm and his expression was very peaceful, and he even said softly with a faint tired smile.

Little Black Ear moved, but nothing responded.

Zhong Qingzhu didn't seem to care, or she didn't seem to care too much about Xiao Hei's reaction, after saying that, she slowly raised her head and looked at the cold night and the cold moon above the sky, the night wind was cold, blowing through the tips of her sideburns.

"Actually, it's not surprising, since I was a child, no one would like me. ”

"My biological father, who gave birth to me, wanted to sell me for a few wine money and gambling books; I went to Zhong's house, served tea and water, and served the pigsty in the kitchen, I worked all of them, but I was often scolded; when I ate less and wore less, when it was cold, when I splashed cold water on my face to wash my face, I often wondered, why is this happening?"

"Later, I followed Sister Qinglu to serve her, and the situation would be better. But Sister Qinglu didn't seem to like me very much at that time, by the way, do you know, Xiao Hei?" Zhong Qingzhu slowly turned his face, smiled, his voice was soft but low, and said, "Do you know, Sister Qinglu's temper when she was a child was not very good, and it is different from the charming and gentle appearance now." When she used to be angry, she used to take out her anger on me, you see,"

She stretched out her hand, gently touched her fair and soft cheeks, and said gently: "See, Xiao Hei, when I was a child, she often hit me here, slapping and slapping ......"

Xiao Hei didn't know if he understood, he still lay on the spot like just now, quietly chewing the grass roots in his mouth, and occasionally glanced at Zhong Qingzhu, but maybe it was because he had been together for a long time, and it seemed to be much more natural next to Zhong Qingzhu.

Zhong Qingzhu didn't look at Xiao Hei anymore, she just raised her head, looked at the glorious cold moon in the night sky in a daze, and after a while, said faintly: "I don't know, why they don't like me, but it doesn't matter, those things don't matter." ”

Her eyes reflected the bright and cold moon, like a cold white flame.

"As long as you stand on the highest place like the moon, you will never be afraid of anything again, and you will never have to worry about it again, will you?"

She smiled and said.

※※※

The night was deep, and the moonlight shone on the mountain, Shen Shi's eyelids moved a few times, and then slowly woke up.

Xiao Hei was the first to notice his movements, and he jumped up all of a sudden, looking very happy, and came over with a smile and kept licking Shen Shi's face. Shen Shi only felt that his body was weak and dizzy, and it took a while to feel better, and then his eyes crossed Xiao Hei, but he saw Zhong Qingzhu, who was covered in blood, sitting beside him, looking as if he had been staying by his side all night, and was smiling at the moment, and said, "Are you awake?"

Shen Shi also smiled, then looked around with a little confusion, and said, "I'm fine, but ...... Where is this? And why do you have so much blood on you?"

Zhong Qingzhu smiled slightly and said, "This is the top of the cave, I brought you up yesterday." As for the blood on my body, I went down to the pit and searched for it...... All the pieces of flesh were stained. ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhong Qingzhu, and said in amazement: "That place is so dirty, you are a girl......"

Zhong Qingzhu's face looked a little pale, but she still forced a smile, shook her head, and said, "It's okay, I can bear it." ”

As she spoke, she took the Ruyi bag and poured out a bunch of things of different sizes in front of Shen Shi, which seemed to be some parts of various demon beasts that could be used as spiritual materials, and said at the same time: "These spiritual materials were found by me last night, anyway, the dead in that cave are all high-level demon beasts, so these demon body spiritual materials should also be worth a lot." Other than that......"

She paused for a moment, her eyes were silent for a moment, and then she reached out and took out three smooth and round Yuan Dan full of spiritual power from the Ruyi bag, all of which were demon beast inner pills, and gently placed them on top of the pile of spiritual materials, and said softly at the same time,

"I also found three intact demon pills among those pieces of flesh and blood. ”
