Ling Huan asked cautiously: "Is... does it have anything to do with childhood? Sorry, I remember you said that you had bad experiences in childhood."
Xue Miyin laughed briefly, like a sneer, and the firelight in front of him suddenly trembled. Ling Huan felt a little uneasy, always feeling that her subconscious reaction seemed like she was laughing at something. Could it be that I said the wrong thing? In fact, it shouldn’t be mentioned at all.
"In some places, not only the poor are short of food and clothing, but also the rich cannot buy meat to eat. When there is no other meat, there is a kind of meat that will not be lacking... I also ate this kind of meat when there was no food. Meat."
Although spring has begun, Ling Huan still feels the chill flowing through his fingertips. She gently put her hand on the back of Miyin's hand and patted her equally cold hand.
"Besides, I like animals, and animals also like me. People will bully me, deceive me, or be afraid of me and avoid me..." She shook her head and stared blankly at the patterns on the wall, "But animals No, they are sincere in their kindness to me. If I don’t hurt them, they won’t hurt me. I can’t bear to kill them unless I have to. However, when they become dishes on the table, they have lost their lives. . If you don’t eat them, they will still not survive, and they will waste precious food and life. It’s too hypocritical. I think so, so I will eat some, but I resist in the end. You can enjoy it seriously, why not By leaving it to you, you can respect the sacrifice of these animals.”
Ye Lingquan sighed softly and wanted to say something, but his words were too pale. She could only hold Miyin's hand and watch the other person nod heavily, trying to convey some trivial understanding and support. But she only felt that Miyin's hands were cold and would not warm up, as if they were born as a stone that could not be warmed. She felt weak because her slightly gray right hand was still cold and stiff, even though it was already spring.
The two sat quietly for a while. Along the way, Xie Zhe and Han Chang were with them. Both companions were good people and there was nothing they needed to hide between them. But the girls still feel more comfortable talking to each other. Traveling with the other two people, they had not been alone together like this for several days and had a good conversation. So suddenly there is space, and it seems that I have to recall the feeling of chatting freely.
Besides, they also have a secret in common. Once there are no more two people who don't know, there is no longer any reason for the secret to be avoided. It came up and choked Miyin's throat, making her unable to vomit and unhappy.
"Your wound...what do you think about it? After all these days, do you feel..."
She paused, and together with Ling Huan, she stared at the forearms exposed under the rolled up cuffs. The skin color there is so gray. Although it can be judged that it is an ordinary person's arm, it is still not the same as Ling Huan's skin color, and the small black spots distributed along the meridians are also particularly eye-catching. I wonder what will happen to the injured areas when the weather gets hotter? Although it has healed now, the abnormality has no longer spread after seeing Gui Haishi, and there is no sign of deterioration - but it has not improved.
Sometimes, Xue Miyin even felt anxious. If she really turned into a living corpse, or was obviously weak and needed everyone's care, she didn't have to be so worried. Is she worried? Worried that Ling Huan would be a threat to herself if she turned into a living corpse, or... was she really worried about a person's safety?
"Don't worry, just look at me like this. Even if something happens, just do what we agreed and it will be resolved."
Ye Lingyu still had his usual smile, as beautiful as if he had never experienced anything in the world. The contrast between this impression and reality was so great that Miyin felt at a loss.
"Until now, I still feel that every time I thought you were crazy, I still looked down on you. Probably because I always thought you were the same type of person as those young ladies who stay away from home. But if you think about it carefully, you I’ve been following them both for so long.”
"I've always felt that you have many, many secrets that I still don't understand enough." After Ye Lingquan finished speaking, he added, "There's nothing wrong with that. At least when I think about it this way, I discovered something new. Things, I understand you better.”
In a room not far away, a conversation was also taking place. The atmosphere is not as subtle as here, but it is not about irrelevant topics.
"I saw a monster at the market today."
Xie Zhe said this. Han Chang turned his head and glanced at him:
"Isn't there one right in front of you? In places where people come and go, it's actually not uncommon for monsters to occasionally join in the fun."
"He's a little different. He doesn't feel like a monster but not a human being," Xie Zhe said before Han Shangyang spoke. "That man doesn't seem to be a monster at all. His aura is quite special. The aura is slightly lighter and a bit mixed. He seemed to be a half-demon. I didn’t look carefully, and he went into a shop.”
"If you say that, maybe I smelled it at the time." Han Zhang thoughtfully scratched the tip of his nose, "But there were too many people, and the smell was very chaotic. His evil aura was not strong, so I thought it was... A monster far away.”
But this kind of thing is actually something they have become accustomed to. In such an era, the number of humans has increased explosively, just like a plague on the earth extending its claws to every mountain and river. Martial arts, magic, technology... everything is also improving, and the current court is also well managed, but no matter how to expand the territory, the resources are always not enough. The living space of other creatures, including monsters, is also squeezed out. Many monsters who are smart enough often hide among the crowd to shuttle, trade, and even live. When walking in a crowded place, there are always one or two unusual smells. But life is always so peaceful. As long as the monsters don't take the initiative to cause trouble, many onmyojis nowadays turn a blind eye.
As the night grew darker, the four people fell asleep one after another. The opportunity to sleep in bed is precious. This is a sweet night without dreams.
Daybreak is getting earlier and earlier, especially in Huansha City, which is very lively. At dawn, many vendors had already packed up and left their stalls, and the street quickly became noisy. But it was rare to have such a good rest, and they had a tacit understanding that no one got up. Han Zhang lay down for a while longer, but he moved lightly and did not disturb anyone. It was almost noon when everyone woke up naturally. The four of them could hear across the floor that the lobby on the first floor was gradually becoming noisy. So after they washed up, they appeared at the stairs almost at the same time, ready to go downstairs for dinner together.
Not long after, Long Miao took Uoyuki-kun and walked straight into this lively inn.
It was lunch time, and people were coming and going in the lobby of the inn. The waiters were very busy, and the greetings in the store kept coming and going. When they walked in, they didn't attract much attention.
Long Miao said to Mao Yuejun: "They stayed here last night. I watched for a while today, but I didn't see anyone coming out. Maybe they are having lunch here."
It's too lively now, the smell of people and the smell of food are mixed together, and it's hard for Long Miao to distinguish between them. While he was looking left and right, Lord Uoyue suddenly looked at a seat in the corner by the window and walked straight over. Long Miao immediately followed, and sure enough he saw four people sitting on this small table, chatting while eating.
Uoyuki-kun casually pulled up a stool and sat at the table on the other side of them by the window. Xie Zhe and the four others stopped using their chopsticks almost at the same time and looked at her blankly. Why is a beautiful woman suddenly sitting here with them? Is it because there are no seats left? There was a younger-looking man next to him, but he was standing and had no intention of sitting down.
"Are you the Six Paths of Impermanence?" Xie Zhe suddenly said as he put down his chopsticks.
"I'm coming to find you."
Lord Uoyue smiled peacefully. The midday light shone in from the window, covering her in a veil of light, making her face and hair seem to emit a faint shimmer. Long Miao retreated to the shadows silently, waiting for their next conversation.
"Looking for us?" Han Sheng didn't know why, "Do you have something important to say? Why not have a meal with us and then go back to the room to talk slowly."
Lord Uoyue shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I think now is the best time."
Their location is relatively remote, because the four of them came directly from the guest room on the second floor, and they were able to quickly choose this good location where they would not be easily disturbed. Even though people were still very noisy, they could still hear Uzuki-kun's words clearly. And at this place and time, no one would notice their conversation.
Uoyuki-kun's eyes swept over them briskly, without scrutinizing or offending them. But when she arrived at Ling Huan, her eyes lingered for a while, and there was the window sill where Amiao was lying. But in response to these subtle anomalies, she said nothing and began to formally introduce herself.
"In Xiaqing and Canhua Maoyuejun, I really have no choice but to disturb you all. I can't find a better time, so I ask for your forgiveness. Is this Mr. Xie?" As she said this, she looked at Xie Zhe.
"Yes... no need to disturb you, but we didn't entertain you well."
"How about adding a few more dishes?" Ling Huan was a little anxious, "Wouldn't it be enough for six people?"
"Don't worry about us. The two of us are very grateful to Miss Ye for having such thoughts."
"Then - what do you want to see me for?"
Xie Zhe felt inexplicably worried. Usually people who are approached by Wu Chang will encounter some troubles. After all, who will come to you when you have nothing to do. Could it be about the previous living corpse? There are no living corpses in Huansha City, and the people's lives are so peaceful that it is nostalgic, but that does not mean that there will not be threats from living corpses. The spread of the plague is only a matter of time. Or is it about his Fengyun Slash, which embodies the way of heaven, or the cold dagger that comes from the heaven? Could it be related to Mi Yin? I don’t know what the relationship between Uoyue-kun and Shuoyue-kun is. However, what he is most worried about now is Mutsuki-kun...
"Musuki-kun is fine."
As if he heard the question in his mind, Uzuki-kun blurted it out. Xie Zhe was startled, but it wasn't obvious. He just froze for a moment, then reacted and said eagerly:
"Really? That's great. Previously, his Buddha beads were... cut off by Lord Xueyue, breaking the seal of death. I was also worried that his vitality would be severely damaged..."
"It's exactly what you said. In order to suppress the nature of the evil messenger of killing, he had to continuously transmit power to the beads. Therefore, after the bond was severed, he also suffered a lot of harm."
Xie Zhe's expression froze - even though he had no expression before.
