Early the next morning, Yun Ranran was awakened by the gentle sunlight, sat up and stretched, feeling comfortable, last night was really sweet.
She woke up a little, and turned to look for Xiao Qi.
She was really scared last night, if she hadn't woken up in time, Xiao Qi would have become a cold corpse at this moment, so she should be more careful in the future.
She found Xiao Qi by her side, the boy was **** like a shrimp by her and thrown on the bed, he curled up and faced the wall, not knowing whether he woke up or not.
She poked her head cautiously to look, and suddenly met his angry and bloodshot eyes, and was shocked.
The boy must have stayed up all night, his hands were tied behind his back, his whole body was tightly bound, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth.
There was blue under the eyes, and the moment he saw her, the resentment in his eyes almost turned into substance.
Yun Ranran scratched her head, pointed to the cloth in his mouth, and said softly: "Don't blame me, you scolded me really badly."
The boy was ignited by these words again, remembering the unbearable humiliation, torture and sweat last night, he struggled violently.
Yun Ranran also drank too much last night, some **** poured her wine, causing her to stop for a while, making Xiao Qi miserable.
In normal times, she is also gentle and reasonable, drinking is harmful.
So she stretched out her hand tentatively: "I can take it away, but can you promise not to scold me?"
The boy glared at her fiercely.
Yun Ranran withdrew her hand, and said with lingering fear: "You can't even bite me..."
"If you can do it, you just nod, and I will take it away."
The young man stared at her fiercely for a long time, but finally softened, and looked away in grief and indignation.
Yun Ranran carefully removed the rag, and Xiao Qi immediately coughed dryly. After coughing for a long time, the ends of her eyes were as red as the tip of her nose.
Yun Ranran fetched water thoughtfully, but he stubbornly refused to drink it, and only gritted his teeth and said, "Let me go."
Yun Ranran sighed: "You are disobedient, how can you let go?"
"The group of children last night were kind enough to fear that you would get lost. Look at you bullying the children. You were so frightened that Deng Deng cried."
The young man was so aggrieved and painful that he couldn't speak, his face turned blue and pale.
Yun Ranran couldn't bear it, and said, "You promise to be obedient and I will let you go."
"Will you be good?"
The boy looked at her in shock, as if he couldn't believe that he had to answer such a question.
Yun Ranran said: "I don't want to force you, at least give me a guarantee, it doesn't matter if you refuse to say it, I will still bring you by my side, but I'm afraid that's the only way..."
"If you don't mind that, fine."
Time passed by every minute and every second, and something was quietly passing by.
The boy finally closed his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his lips trembled, as if saying goodbye to his last sanity and dignity. He curled up his fingers and legs, and finally made up his mind, and said very lightly: "I I'll be good."
After saying this sentence, the exposed skin of the whole person turned red, and the sense of shame ran through him like an electric current. He buried his face in his messy hair, unable to face this world anymore.
But the words were too soft and fast, Yun Ranran heard nothing, and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
The boy was still reconciling with himself, when he heard this sentence, he broke his defense instantly, raised his head angrily, and shouted at her.
"I said I will be good, I will be good, I will be good, it's okay!"
The volume is too loud and the whole room is buzzing.
Yun Ranran was startled and couldn't recover for a long time.
The young man gasped and stared at her, his eyes were moist, the tails of his eyes were flushed, his lips trembled, his chest heaved, as if he had been bullied severely, he was wronged and angry but powerless, he could only be manipulated by others.
Really tempting...
Yun Ranran turned her eyes away, and said silently: "Then make a contract or something..."
·
There was another deafening roar in the room, and Deng Deng blocked his ears in fear. After a while, his sister and brother came out.
The elder sister walked in front with a smile, and the elder brother followed behind with a dark face. One hand kept rubbing the other wrist, and there were faint red marks on it. Fortunately, he was not as fierce as last night.
My brother must have suffered a lot last night.
She looked at the handful of cinnamon candies in front of her, hugged her in her arms, trotted to him, and handed it to him.
My brother looked at her with a dark face for a moment, then he raised his hand and threw away the bag of candies...
spilled all over the floor...
Woo...
Before she had time to be sad, her sister grabbed her brother's ear to apologize.
The elder brother's expression was distorted, but he still said sorry, and then reluctantly went to pick up candy. While picking up, he looked at the free-flying bird in the sky with a very sad expression.
The village elder brought out hot porridge from the house, boiled it sticky and soft, and filled a plate of hot and sour shredded radish pickled by himself. He also took out a few salted duck eggs, put them on the table, and greeted Several people eat.
Yun Ranran happily peeled off the whole salted duck egg, poured the oily golden egg yolk into the bowl, and it was delicious.
The village head uncle said with a smile: "It seems that I slept well last night."
Holding the bowl, Yun Ranran said, "You get tired easily when you're active, and you put in a lot of effort last night."
At this time, Xiao Qi, who was sitting next to her, silently shifted her gaze to the giant ax that was chopping wood not far away.
Yun Ranran squinted at him.
He silently shifted his gaze back again, and ate with a dull head.
When the sun was at its peak in the afternoon, Yun Ranran bid farewell to the village head and Deng Deng.
Deng Deng told her that the person could not come out during the day and the mountain was safe.
She said she got it, and rubbed her hair. If she finds your brother, she will tell you as soon as possible.
Deng Deng smiled very happily.
Yun Ranran walked along the ridge to the entrance of the forest, and when he entered the forest, he suddenly looked back.
I saw the village chief and Deng Deng leading the villagers and a group of little spirits standing in front of the banyan tree and waving at them.
Even in the entire cultivation world, such scenes are rare.
Either humans are killed by monsters, or goblins are wiped out by humans.
But this group lived together harmoniously like this.
His heart softened, and he suddenly remembered what Yun Jian said.
[It was never them who changed the world, it was us. 】
What kind of person is this...
She also waved vigorously at Deng Deng and the village chief.
Afterwards, the two followed the road pointed by Deng Deng in the forest, and quickly got on the right track, rushing to Taihua City.
When he was about to leave the forest, Yun Ranran suddenly spoke.
"Little Qi, have you ever thought about..."
The boy said coldly, "No."
Yun Ranran was not angry, and continued.
"Deng Deng knew that there was a terrible existence in this mountain, but he didn't leave because he had to wait for Yun's advice."
"Then why don't the village chief and the villagers leave?"
But he didn't want to talk to her and kept silent.
Yun Ranran said to himself.
"If you say you are old, did you say you were old more than ten years ago?"
"Didn't everyone leave?"
Tian Yan was startled when he heard this.
These people didn't stay because they were old, but because they stayed for a long time and got older.
He couldn't help but look up at the girl.
The girl was wearing a white dress and was walking through the green waist-length weeds, with crooked eyes.
"Probably because she was worried that she would be lonely alone."
"I'm worried that she will light up the lamp, but no one will pass by, and she will hide and cry alone."
Tian Yan paused, thinking of the village head's simple and honest smile.
Looking back at the girl again, she has gone a long way.
She is so delicate...
His eyes fell on her slender back, and he couldn't help being a little lost.
Damn so delicate, can't you see that he doesn't want to be with her?
It must be on purpose!
Must hack her to death! !
·
This way the spring river is warm and the willows are soft.
Yun Ranran rented a little donkey at the post station, and rode it leisurely, while the young man followed silently.
The two had been walking on the road for three days, and there were more and more pedestrians on the official road, and several tea shops along the road also passed by.
The outline of the majestic city wall can already be seen from a distance.
It's almost here.
Taihua City is the core city close to Taihuazong. The city is built around the Yanbo River, with well-developed waterways and rich trade exchanges.
The city is bustling with people.
Yun Ranran led Xiaoqi through the gate of the city to be interrogated by the soldiers, and entered the city easily. She first found the post and returned the little donkey, and then began to look for the [Taihua City Changfu] on the jade pendant.
Taihua City is adjacent to Taihuazong, because the first stop of Taihuazong's outer sect disciple election is always here every three years, the people in the city are no longer unfamiliar with the existence of monks.
There were also a few talented children in the city, who not only successfully entered the clan, but even became leaders of the younger generation. Even if he is only an outer disciple after joining the sect, no one dares to provoke him in the city.
Along the way, Yun Ranran saw many monks, most of whom were of the same low rank as herself, trading and recuperating in this huge city.
The small shops on both sides are open, and there are a variety of camellias, melons, fruits, pastries and buns.
Yun Ranran stopped a little brother who was selling candied haws, bought two, and asked him about Changfu.
The little brother wandered around the city, so he knew it clearly, pointed her out, and told her that the Changfu was on the southernmost side of Taihua City, and that the eldest son of that family had been enlighted by the Taihua Sect gods, and entered the sect, and the family's momentum was rising. In this Taihua City, it is a famous family.
Yun Ranran was inquiring, when he saw crowds of people not far away, crowded in front of a notice board.
The little brother lowered his voice and explained.
"Recently, the young master Chang Yuan fell ill, and Master Chang died in a hurry. He is looking for someone to treat him everywhere. He also said that he can be cured, and he will be rewarded with a lot of money."
"A lot of people have been there in the past few days. I see that there are still a few little gods among them, but I don't seem to be able to take a good look at them."
When Yun Ranran heard this, it probably had something to do with the reward on the jade pendant, thanked the little brother, and stuffed one of the candied haws to the boy beside him.
How could Tianyan eat this thing, he was about to fall on the spot, Yun Ranran stared over.
He was startled, his eyes continued to be angry, but the hand holding the candied haws was honestly put into his mouth.
They swallowed viciously one by one into their stomachs.
Yun Ranran led him all the way south, and soon arrived at the gate of Changfu.
There are layers of courtyards with gray tiles and white walls. Two stone lions stand majestically in front of the gate. Green branches and leaves protrude from the wall. There are two words "Changfu" vigorously on the gate plaque.
At this moment, the gate of the Changfu is open, and countless people come in and out, including monks.
After Yun Ranran registered at the door, he easily entered the mansion. It seemed that Mr. Chang was indeed in a hurry.
Passing through the lobby, someone greeted her soon, and led the way directly to a quiet courtyard. At this moment, there were many people standing outside the courtyard, some were downcast, and some were waiting silently.
In front of him was a thin wooden door, and a man was screaming hysterically inside.
Yun Ranran asked the elder brother beside him.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
The elder brother replied: "Mr. Chang said that he could hear the cries of children every day. They were miserable and mournful, and they would not let him go."
"But people around him can't hear it, and people who have seen him can't hear it. I actually went in just now, and there is nothing."
The cry of a child?
I'm afraid he was entangled by some ghost or lonely soul, right? Or was someone cursed or used some magic weapon?
At this moment, a person was kicked out of the door in a state of embarrassment.
Followed by a young man with a haggard face stumbled out.
"Liar, get out! Get out!"
Yun Ranran raised his eyes and saw that his eyes were black and blue, and his body was a little bent. He was obviously not very old, but he looked ten years older, and he obviously hadn't had a good rest for many days.
This should be Chang Yuan.
Yun Ranran observed carefully, he was in good health, free from disease and pain, and had no Yin Qi on his body, he didn't seem to be entangled by spirits or ghosts, and there were no traces of artifacts, talismans, or curses, and the crying sound could only be He can hear it himself.
Perhaps hysterical by some stimulus?
The man suddenly covered his head and shouted uncontrollably.
"Keep crying keep crying keep crying!"
"It's annoying, it's annoying, it's annoying."
He looked at everyone with red eyes, like a crazy beast.
"I ask you, can you hear me?"
"Don't you think I'm lying? Why don't you believe me? Why don't you believe me?"
The people did not hear, so no one responded.
The man looked desperate, and after a moment of silence, he went crazy again.
At this moment, a small white hand was raised up.
"I believe you."
The man was startled, and looked at her in surprise, seeing a pink and beautiful little girl, he was skeptical.
"Can you hear the baby crying too?"
This girl is Yun Ranran, she is smiling.
"can not hear."
The man's face became ferocious in an instant, and he was about to get angry when he saw the little girl lift her slender pale fingers and point to his neck.
"But I can see that child, riding on your neck."
