There were stars in the dark night sky, and the old blind man still came to the big locust tree outside the town. Zi Yang, who had just been chatting with him for a few days, did not come.
Also, the leaves of the big locust tree have basically fallen off, leaving only the bare branches, which looks a little desolate.
Suddenly there was a sound on the quiet and dark mountain road, accompanied by the sound of the wheels of the car being worn. The old blind man moved his ears slightly and sat quietly under the tree.
After a while, more than a dozen carriages were loaded with goods. Driven by the coachmen, the carriages slowly drove into the town.
At this moment, Xuan Yi and Jia Juesheng walked out of the town and happened to see the carriage entering the town.
Xuan Yi held the wine bottle in his left hand and held Jia Juesheng's shoulder in his right hand. The two of them stopped and stared at the carriage passing by for a long time until the carriage completely disappeared under the night.
Xuan Yi frowned slightly and said in deep doubt: "Huh? Didn't this caravan just leave the day before yesterday? Why is it here again?"
Jia Juesheng didn't care. He thought about it and said casually: "Don't worry about it so much. Maybe other people's things are easy to sell and they can make a lot of money. Otherwise, why do they come so often?"
"Making money?" Xuan Yi said thoughtfully: "There are not many people in this small town, how much money can we make?"
"Whatever, they won't give it to us anyway if they make money." Jia Juesheng glanced at the old blind man sitting under the big locust tree and urged: "Let's go, the old man is right there."
Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, since it's so cold tonight, we'd better persuade him to leave. After all, Ziyang probably won't be able to come tonight."
The two of them walked out of the town quickly, one behind the other, and within a few breaths, they arrived under the big locust tree.
Jia Juesheng said loudly: "Old man, are you waiting for someone here?"
The old blind man spoke slowly, with a hoarse voice: "Young man, you are right, I am indeed waiting for someone."
Hearing this, Jia Juesheng advised, "Old man, don't wait any longer. He won't come tonight. It's cold tonight, so you'd better go home quickly."
Upon hearing this, the old blind man turned his head following the voice and asked in confusion: "Not coming? Why isn't he coming?"
Jia Juesheng replied: "He has had some problems recently. I'm afraid he won't come to chat with you these days. Don't go out either. Come back in a few days."
The old blind man nodded and suddenly asked: "Who are you two?"
Jia Juesheng smiled and said: "Friends, very good friends."
The old blind man said oh, then picked up the wooden stick lying on the ground, stood up and left, muttering as he walked: "Okay, great. There is hope, there is hope..."
Xuan Yi's face darkened, he looked at the old blind man's hunched figure, and said with confusion: "Is he saved? What do you mean?"
Jia Juesheng said with a smile: "People tend to get confused when they get old, so don't take it seriously. Let's go back to sleep."
Although Xuan Yi thought the old blind man was a little strange, after hearing Jia Juesheng's words, he dispelled his doubts.
After all, it is normal for elderly people to say something they do not understand.
The old blind man walked leisurely along the mountain road. A burst of lily fragrance floated by, and he saw a man wearing a black cloak on his head and completely covering his body walking past him.
"Little girl, the mountain road is difficult, so be careful." After reminding the old blind man, he turned and left.

Inside the cave
The strong flames reflected on the stone wall. Ziyang was sitting in front of the fire roasting animal meat. Yingluo stared at his back for a while and asked, "Did you kill those people?"
"Those people?" Zi Yang raised his head and paused, then turned to look at her and said, "Are you talking about those bald people?"
Seeing them speechless, he smiled and said, "If I said I wasn't the one who killed them, would you believe it?"
Yingluo changed the subject and asked again: "Since you can kill them, why would you let someone go?"
Zi Yang shook his head and explained: "No, no, no, you are wrong. It's not that I want to let him go, but that he lets us go. How could I not agree to such a good thing?"
Yingluo frowned slightly and said, "Let us go?"
Zi Yang turned around and looked at the fire and said carefully: "You have to know that that person is in the realm of reincarnation. It is not easy for me to kill him. The most important thing is that it takes time to kill him."
"And we just need time. If his helpers come while I'm fighting with him, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"So, it's him who wants to let us go, not us who want to let him go."
Yingluo blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Then can I understand that he is afraid of you and does not have the courage to fight with you?"
Zi Yang said confidently: "Of course, his choice is not wrong. If he stays and fights with me, at least his life will not be saved."
Yingluo said calmly: "I didn't expect you to be quite confident."
Zi Yang looked back at her and said, "Confidence requires strength. If you are blindly confident without real strength, you are no different from a fool."
He walked over with the fragrant animal meat, with golden animal oil dripping on the ground, and handed it to Yingluo: "It's roasted, eat it."
Yingluo thanked her and took the meat from his hand with a low eyebrow. Ziyang also knew that she didn't like people watching her eat.
He sat on the shore, his legs hanging over the pool, his back to her, eating the animal meat to himself.
Zi Yang ate for a while, but he didn't look back and asked casually: "How is your injury? I'll grind some herbs for you later and apply it on it?"
"Oh... Okay." Somehow, Yingluo paused for a long time before finally saying the good word.
Zi Yang also noticed that something was wrong with her. He turned to look at her with lips full of animal oil and asked, "What's wrong with you? If you need anything, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help you."
Yingluo was embarrassed to say that your blood is very helpful to me. I want to drink some more. She said, "The herbs you gave me can only relieve the pain, but they can't help me recover quickly at all."
Zi Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Now you understand how important my blood is? When you are full, I will let you drink it."
"However, the herbal medicine must be applied as it should. After all, it can relieve your pain."
Yingluo looked at Ziyang who was squatting aside grinding medicine, and asked, "You and I met by chance, do you need to be so nice to me?"
Zi Yang raised his head, paused, and said, "It's not necessary. But I find you pleasing to the eye, and I admire your character very much, so that's why I treat you like this."
Yingluo hesitated for a while and then said softly: "Then you are not afraid that I will kill you?"
Ziyang replied naturally: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you can kill me at any time if you want. Even if I die in your hands in the end, I will not regret what I did to you." everything."
Yingluo stared at his back for a long time and said, "Actually, it's not impossible if you want me not to kill you. From now on, you stay with me and obey my arrangements, and I'll let you go. How about that?"
When Zi Yang heard this, he looked back at her and asked doubtfully: "Following you and following your arrangements? How do you want to arrange for me?"
Yingluo said carefully: "To put it simply, you will be my subordinate, and I can forget about the things you did to me."
Ziyang turned his back to her and replied, "Let's forget it. I'm used to freedom and I can't stand the constraints of others."
After hearing his words, Ying Luo's fair face changed slightly, her eyes sank, and she was obviously a little angry.
She said rather displeasedly: "I gave you the opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it. Then don't blame me for being cruel."
Zi Yang ignored her. After grinding the herbs, he put them in her hands, then turned and sat next to the fire.
He yawned, stretched, and urged: "Hurry up and put on the medicine. I'm a little tired. Don't keep me waiting too long."
When Yingluo heard this, she immediately frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean!"
Zi Yang stared at her with an innocent face and said, "What are you doing? Why are you so angry at me? Don't you want to drink my blood? I told you to drink it and go to bed early."
Yingluo glanced at him coldly and said sternly: "No need for your blood!"
Zi Yang sat down next to her and said in a deep voice, "What if I insist on letting you drink it?"
Maybe she felt that Zi Yang was trying to scare her in the past, but this time she said arrogantly: "I won't drink if I say I won't drink. What can you do to me?"
"Uh..." Ziyang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Obviously, after several successful threats, he originally thought that this time it would be the same as before, but what surprised him was that Yingluo's attitude was so tough this time.
Zi Yang had no choice but to say: "You are the one who was injured. The wound is not on me anyway. If you don't want to recover quickly, there is nothing I can do about it."
After saying that, without waiting for Yingluo to reply, he sat back on the shore again, holding his cheek with his palm, not knowing what he was thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, Yingluo said calmly: "The wound is on me. As long as I don't recover for a day, you have to take care of me. You are the one who will be affected."
Zi Yang was unconvinced and said, "Don't think too much of me. My hands and feet are all on me. I can leave when I want and stay when I want. As for taking care of you, it all depends on my mood."
The moment he turned back, he happened to see an angry Ying Luo. He pretended to be panicked and said, "What are you doing? Do you still want to hit me?"
Yingluo said fiercely: "I'll hit you lightly, but I'm going to kill you!"
Zi Yang naturally would not be frightened by her. He stared at her expressionlessly and said, "Kill me? Say it again!"
"I want......"
Before she finished speaking, Zi Yang moved, grabbing her wrist tightly with both hands and pressing her against the stone wall.
The herbs in Yingluo's hand fell slowly, her beautiful eyes opened slightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, Ziyang's breath hit her face, and their faces were almost touching. She looked panicked and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Are you scared? Hahaha!" Seeing that she was really scared, Zi Yang stopped teasing her and immediately let go of her wrist, looking up and laughing.
After seeing him let go, Yingluo let out a breath. She stared closely at Ziyang who was walking towards the pool. Her chest was rising and falling. This was the first time in her life that she was teased by a kid who had lived in the third realm of reincarnation. As you can imagine, she How annoyed I felt at the moment.
