"Wow-" The shadow opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his already pale face was as white as paper. Dressed in black, it was impossible to see if it was stained with blood, but the snow-white sheets under him were stained a little scarlet. His long hair was messy, and his back was slightly bent down in pain.

Feng Qiong looked at him worriedly: "Why hasn't Childe come back yet?"

The shadow raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, looked at the abnormally colored blood on his fingers, and his eyes were pale and pale: "I can't die, don't worry." ”

Feng Qiong frowned, with anxiety on her face: "How can you rest assured?

The shadow struggled to run the internal force: "It's all pressed on you, I'm sorry." With a muffled snort, a little blood oozed from his nostrils, and a trace of pain appeared in his indifferent eyes.

"Look at you like this, if Childe doesn't come back, you will definitely die. Feng Qiong hurriedly took the handkerchief to wipe the blood for him, and brought the medicine next to his lips.

The shadow took a sip and swallowed slowly: "I know my body, I can't die." I'd rather you look at them than look at me here. ”

Feng Qiong sighed lightly and asked, "Then I'm going to call Zhongli over?"

The shadow closed his eyes and said, "No, I don't need someone to accompany me." Just let her take a good look at the shallow marks, I can't explain to the master when the shallow marks are dead. ”

Feng Qiong had no choice but to nod: "Okay, listen to you." But if something goes wrong, none of us can afford Childe's wrath. ”

The shadow let out a "hmm", signaling that he had heard, and then there was no response. Cross-kneeled exercises, such as old monks into the set.

Feng Qiong sighed and put the medicine bowl nearby. She glanced back at the shadow, walked out of the room, gently closed the door, and looked at the woman standing at the door: "He's like that, like a stone, it's better to ignore him." Unlike her beauty, the woman at the door was only more delicate, with a quiet smile on her fair face, and there was nothing outstanding about her. But it is this woman with no outstanding appearance and temperament, who is in charge of the news sales office of half of the rivers and lakes, Fengyun Xuan, and the power in her hand is not inferior to Feng Qiong, who is the master of Zhengxuan.

Zhong Liying smiled helplessly: "I also said it, but you don't believe it." ”

Feng Qiong leaned on the railing and looked at the beautiful scenery below, her eyes were slightly dim: "Now I just hope that Gongzi will come back soon, only he can heal the shadow's internal injuries." ”

Zhong Liying stood side by side with her, lying on the railing and looking at the pavilion in the distance: "Last night, I went to change the dressing for Shallow Mark, passed by Qihua's room, and heard him crying inside. ”

"Crying?" Feng Qiong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I really should cry too." ”

Zhong Liying didn't say anything, and after a long time, he said slowly: "The demon duck and those killers who came back may be better, and it will be fine after a while." The shallow mark is not optimistic, and whether it can survive is a question. There is also the shadow, he has suffered such serious internal injuries, and he doesn't know if he can be completely healed. plus the loss of the wine hall and the aftermath of the beggars...... It's hard to imagine Childe's reaction. ”

Feng Qiong said: "I wanted to gloat once, but I couldn't laugh anymore." ”

Zhong Liying said: "The key, no one dares to intercede." ”

Feng Qiong was silent: "I don't dare, it's impossible for Demon Bird and Xuanyuan Yin to intercede." Shadow...... Not to mention, his plea is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. ”

Zhong Liying sighed: "I hope there is still life." ”

Feng Qiong shrugged: "The vitality of the wine hall is greatly damaged, and I don't know how long it will take to recover the previous level." ”

Zhong Liying agreed: "Xuanyuan and Mo are so pitiful to cry. ”

Feng Qiong wondered, "Why?"

Zhong Liying cupped his cheeks and said, "Originally, the people who came from the puppet palace trade would let the Puppet Wine Hall and the Stygian Valley divide it equally, but now it will definitely all be given to the Puppet Wine Hall." In addition, after suffering such a big loss, judging from the child's temperament, he will definitely pick up another layer of skin in the puppet palace, otherwise he will go to another place. Anyway, I definitely won't just admit it. ”

Feng Qiong chuckled: "Don't let Childe hear this." ”

Zhong Liying tilted his head slightly: "Childe won't be angry because of this, his self-cultivation is still trustworthy." ”

Feng Qiong teased: "Really, I didn't expect that in addition to the shadow, there are still people who can find out the preferences of the son?"

Zhong Liying didn't answer, but asked, "Do you think it's difficult?"

Feng Qiong said: "I've been following him for more than four years, but I can't understand him at all. The people who go in and out of Fengyue Field, there are really too few people who can't understand it, and Childe is the one I have the most contact with, but I can't see it clearly. Even though he gave me so much power that I was surprised myself, I always felt that he didn't trust anyone but the shadow—including you. ”

Zhong Liying smiled lightly: "Of course, I am different from Shadow, and his trust is not the same. But I'm sure I'm the one he trusts the most, apart from Shadow. After recalling it, he said leisurely: "The shadow has been with him for ten years, and I have been with him for seven years, and the gap is here." And after that, there may be fewer and fewer people who come into his heart, right? Maybe one day, he won't even trust the shadow anymore. ”

Feng Qiong frowned, feeling a little frightened: "What you said is so scary?"

Zhong Liying said: "What you are afraid of is the elusiveness and skill of Childe, and we are afraid of Childe's change." Maybe one day you will know what he was, then you will know how terrible his changes are. It can only be said that no matter what he becomes, he is our son and will never be rebellious. ”

Feng Qiong said helplessly: "Those people don't dare to betray." ”

Zhong Liying smiled and did not answer.

————————————————————

The dimly lit room was filled with wooden shelves on which a book was placed. And by the window with the heavy curtain drawn, a gray-haired man sat with his chin pressed against his knees, and beside him there were seven candles lit, emitting a dim light. His gaze fell on the account book spread out in front of his lap, and he wrote casually with a pen in his right hand, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

"Quicksand!" the wooden door was forcefully pulled open, and a young man rushed in, shouting loudly.

Quicksand raised his eyes to him and asked, "Drifting kite, what's wrong?"

The kite took a deep breath and threw the thing he was holding tightly in his hand in front of him: "Sort of, it's back." "Twenty-one brands, eight red and thirteen white.

Quicksand was stunned, leaned over and grabbed it, rummaging back and forth among the eight red signs, and when he saw the wooden sign with the name of the blood moon written on it, his eyes instantly lost his lustre, and he knelt on the ground, losing all the blood on his face.

"Hey, Ash, what are you doing so fast? I'm not a tiger. ”

"What, you ask me why I'm the 'Blood' Moon? Because I'm really strong, the hall master said that my strength can also rank in the top ten in the Blood Word Hall. Hmph, I'm definitely better than you anyway. ”

"Now, your name is so nice, quicksand between your fingers. Well, it's sad, but it's still good. ”

"Dreams, people I like and people I admire? I have a very beautiful dream, I dream that I am wearing red, very beautiful clothes, lying in a person's arms, and he gently tells me that I am very beautiful. That's probably the guy I like? Hmm? You ask me who that guy is? I don't know, maybe it hasn't shown up yet. The person I admire must be the hall master! ”

"Tsk, you said you were a disciple of the hall master? I only know that the hall master has two apprentices, one is called Shallow Mark and the other is called Gong Wei. It's a pity that I came late, and by the time I got out of school, they had already gone to the place called the Valley of the Underworld. Hmph, it must be very powerful anyway. Because the hall master is the most powerful person, his disciple must also be very powerful! You are so weak, you will definitely not be the disciple of the hall master. ”

"Ash, I met someone I like today. Let me tell you, Childe came over today, with a cyan cloak and a silver-white mask, although he only saw half of his face, he was really handsome! No, no, the hall master didn't let him, and I can see that the hall master is very serious. The hall master said that the son is not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old? Well, he is so powerful, he has been smiling, and he is really the same strength as the hall master. You ask me if I like Childe? Ah, it's not him, it's another teenager behind him, who's about the same age as me, and he's very good-looking, and I fell in love at first sight. ”

"It's a small injury, it's just a little bleeding, what's the fuss about? I went on a mission at the age of twelve, and now I'm eighteen, and I'm still afraid of pain? A little boy like Xiao Gray who has no power to restrain a chicken, but he has a short vision. ”

"Hahaha, you like me?ah, I didn't mean to laugh at you, just a little surprised. Are you sure you like me because we have too few women in the restaurant? I'm not pretty...... I won't dislike you, Ash is so well-behaved, so cute, and so smart. I'm sure there's no hope for Shadow Lady, but I can't just replace you because of that, how unfair is it to you? If you don't change your mind at that time, I'll marry you for the rest of my life, okay?"

"Exquisite dice An red bean, do you know what it means, but it's so beautiful. Oh...... Someone else wrote it. Wait for our cave room, can you send me a poem that you wrote? Well, Xiao Gray is so good, I will be twenty-five in a few years, wait. ”

"You ask me if I like you? Ah, I don't know, what does it mean to like? Anyway, I like to be with Ash, I like to rub your hair, I like to sit with you in a tree and count the stars while listening to you tell me stories I've heard or haven't heard, I like to have you with me for the rest of my life. Yes, for a lifetime. ”

"How long is a life? You don't die, I don't die, I can see you every day when I open my eyes. ”

......

The quicksand clenched his fists, and the tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes, and a drop fell to the ground, bounced up, splashed, and silently. He placed the wooden sign on his chest, as if trying to press it into his body. After a long time, Quicksand lifted her tear-stained face and asked in a dumb voice, "How was she when she left?"

"It is said that she killed herself in the arms of the shadow, and she is very beautiful and happy. Also, she says to you, I'm sorry. ”

"I'm sorry, me?" Quicksand smiled bitterly, a tearing pain in his chest, "I didn't see the last one, and this time she went out and didn't come to say goodbye to me." Come to think of it, she is very confident that she will return safely, right?"

The kite whispered: "She has low self-esteem, she has always felt that she is not worthy of you." She...... I wouldn't want you to see her after the cripple, would you?"

The quicksand rubbed against the wooden sign, his eyes full of pity, and after a long time, he asked softly, "Can I go and see her corpse?"

The kite was stunned and said, "This ...... I'm afraid the hall master can't agree either, right?"

Quicksand raised his head and said, "Then I'll go and ask Childe, as long as Childe agrees, okay?"

The kite exclaimed, "Are you crazy?

Quicksand said, "I just want to see the Blood Moon, I don't want to see the last one." ”

The kite was silent for a moment, did not persuade again, but said softly: "I'll accompany you." ”

"Thank you. Quicksand stood up, his body a little rickety, "I'm a little tired, I want to go and rest first." You can help me record the dead. ”

The kite nodded, watching him move away with difficulty.

The wine hall is the world of killers. Killers, there is no difference between life and death. Here, no one is qualified to mourn, the dead are the dead, and there is no connection with the living.

Seven emotions and six desires must be abandoned.

The killer is cold, ruthless, and indifferent.

It's a world of gray, frighteningly pale and powerless, but powerless. Born as a killer, dead as a killer.

There is no light, no emotion, no love and hatred, not even good and evil, and no true heart.

For killers, money buys life, but also soul and freedom.

If a person has no heart, how can he distinguish between right and wrong? If a person is ruthless, how can he know warmth and cold? If a person has no desire, how can he say life and death?
