Escape from the Ghost

The flames of war raged, the corpses covered each other like tattered straw mats, and the smoke of the wolf fluttered, twisting and tearing around, like the last hands stretched out in hell, strangling the necks of the survivors.

Xia Houyong staggered through the corpses. The battle had been fought for a whole day and night. His eyes were already bloodshot due to the long-term bloodshot, and his originally tough face was now only numb and haggard.Like crazy, he opened this corpse to look, and then ran a few steps to look at that corpse, but he didn't find a living person.

Xia Houyong knelt on the ground, raised his head to the sky and let out a long shout, staring at the mountain col in front of him with scarlet eyes, he staggered up and rushed in.From a distance, he saw a man in armor kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back. The red scarf embroidered with Song characters from the Song family army was fluttering in the wind around his neck. The man slowly raised his head, revealing a vaguely bloody face.

call--

A feather arrow pierced into Zhang Xun's chest with the sound of wind, "Ah—" Xia Houyong yelled and rushed forward with strides.

"Huh..." Another feathered arrow passed through and stuck in the same position on Zhang Xun's body.

Xia Houyong stepped on the ground and fell into the big pit where the enemy army had ambushed along with the haystacks on the ground. He looked up and saw that the fifth general of the Song Family Army was pushed into the pit with his hands hanging, and his body slapped on the pit wall.They all had arrows stuck in their chests, and the blood flowed down and sprinkled in the pit, black with sticky soil.

Xia Houyong only felt pain in his eyes and swollen head, and the anger in his chest rushed all over his body in an instant, squeezing him so hard that he couldn't breathe, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug into his flesh, and blood spilled out.He took a few steps forward, and several feathered arrows flew over together, sticking to the front of his shoes and piercing the ground. Xia Houyong suppressed his tears and shouted: "Say! What do you want?"

A voice sounded slowly, as if in the abyss of hell: "It seems that the title of the five generals is just a sham, hahahahaha... It is indeed too cheap to let them die like this! General Xiahou, let's enjoy the pleasure of Ling Chi together..."

Xia Houyong's face was contorted, and he shouted hastily: "No...don't..."

"Hahahahaha-"

With a secretive laugh, Xia Houyong sat up from the sofa, with cold sweat on his forehead.His arms rested on his thighs and kept trembling. After a while, he stood up and walked to the long desk, picked up the amphora on the table and drank a big gulp of spirits until he closed his eyes and felt The pungentness in the throat makes it feel alive.

Since the appearance of the host, many things that he thought he had forgotten had crawled back without his noticing, which caught him off guard.Xia Houyong looked down at the flagon in his hand and sighed deeply.He turned his head and glanced at the watch on the wall, it was only two o'clock in the morning.He put down the flagon, grabbed the coat on the sofa and walked out of the office.

The colorful lights change back and forth, the music is deafening, and the drums hit the eardrums again and again. Xia Houyong looked at the man strumming the electric guitar on the stage from a distance, and got up and squeezed past countless little monsters with teeth and claws.

He finally approached the stage, squinted at the backstage stairs, and looked desperately at the red-haired lady in a black silk miniskirt, who was about 1.55 meters tall and weighed more than 180 kilograms.The woman looked at Xia Houyong with longing eyes, and the sweat slid across her face, wearing a layer of foundation, revealing the original khaki color of her skin. The elder sister shook her neck again, and the sweat jumped out and pierced Xia Houyong's face. Xia Houyong squinted his eyes, lowered his head, and blinked vigorously for a long time.

When he opened his eyes again, the figures on the stage disappeared in place, leaving only the accompaniment playing in vain.

"Fuck—"

Without saying a word, he immediately moved forward to push away the red-haired elder sister and chase after Zhao You.There were too many people around, he was bumped by someone, and his hand directly touched the waist of the eldest sister. The elder sister immediately turned her head like an electric shock, and then watched helplessly as the hands on her waist slid onto her crotch.

Xia Houyong pursed his lips in embarrassment. If it was an accident to be bumped the first time, then it would be pure nonsense to be bumped the second time. Even he didn't believe it wasn't intentional.With his splayed eyebrows, he retracted the hand that had accidentally moved down two inches, and looked at the red-haired lady in panic.

"Hahaha! Handsome guy with a beard..."

The red-haired lady gave a stupid and ugly smile, raised her arms and hung her fat body around Xia Houyong's neck.Xia Houyong's originally blushing face would completely fade to a sauce green color. The red-haired lady leaned her head on Xia Houyong's shoulder and kept leaning upwards.This amount is really touching, Xia Houyong took a step back following the inertia, and leaned on the person behind.

"Hey... who..."

Disaster is imminent, the people in the dance hall are dragging their half-drunk bodies one by one, you pull me, I drag you to lie down, Xia Houyong was pressed down by the red-haired lady, he looked up and caught a glimpse of a stair in the backstage The white figure flashed past in a hurry.

With a cruel heart, he tore the red-haired elder sister off her body and pushed her to the side without being kind. She jumped out of the crowd, stepped on the shoulders of the people around her and flew out of the dance floor.

As the lights dimmed and then brightened again, a girl with smoky makeup saw Xia Houyong flying over the eaves and entered the backstage, rubbing her eyes in disbelief, and shouting loudly: "Fuck! Superman!!!"

"..."

Xia Houyong skipped the last person and went straight into the backstage. He had just entered the dressing room when a white figure flashed and went straight out the back door.

"You still run!"

Xia Houyong hurriedly pushed away the girl in the colorful long skirt and rushed out. The girl was wearing high heels and carrying the skirt, and fell one by one like dominoes. Di'er jumped over and followed Zhao You out of the back alley.

"Look where?"

As soon as Xia Houyong went out, he was startled by Zhao You's shout without warning. The man raised the corner of his mouth to show a signature provocative smile, and lightly jumped up to the bungalow next to him.Stepping forward in the moonlight, Xia Houyong quickly followed, and shouted: "I'm not trying to eat you, what are you running for?"

Zhao You said lightly: "Then don't run away."

After he finished speaking, he immediately stood firm and stopped, but Xia Houyong didn't stop and ran towards Zhao You. Zhao You took a step across and happened to dodge Xia Houyong, watching him step on the ground and roll along the eaves Go down and land on your face very steadily.

Xia Houyong felt that the most prominent part of his entire face was inserted into his mind the moment he landed on the ground.He took a while to raise his head, and sprayed a mouthful of dirt.

Zhao You approached and squatted down, with a hint of blue in his eyes, and said, "How long are you going to pretend to be dead on the ground? It's almost enough."

Xia Houyong turned his body sideways, rolled like a puddle of mud, patted the soil on his body, sat up from the ground, rubbed his chest and said, "Do you think we are still young? I have old arms and legs, how can I bear you like this?" fall?"

After the first half of the sentence was finished, Zhao You immediately darkened, put away all playful expressions, carried the guitar bag and walked into the alley.Xia Houyong got up and stopped Zhao You, and said with a serious face, "I really need you."

Zhao You didn't stop, and walked around Xia Houyong. Xia Houyong put Zhao You's shoulders and said, "What do you want?"

Zhao You finally stopped, looked at Xia Houyong with a sneer and said, "I should be asking you this sentence, what do you want?"

After all, Xia Houyong felt ashamed in his heart, and slightly lowered his head and said: "I was wrong in the past, but...you should listen to my explanation. Also, is it because of me that you have been hiding for so many years? If so, then ,I apologize."

A mocking look flashed across Zhao You's eyes. He didn't know which sentence he heard, and suddenly, like a firecracker being ignited, he angrily pushed Xia Houyong away, and said, "Don't be so self-righteous, please stay away from me from now on." Stay away! Don't appear in front of me!"

After Zhao You finished speaking, he continued to move forward, but Xia Houyong grabbed him after only two steps.Xia Houyong angrily pulled Zhao You and pushed him down against the wall vigorously.The air suddenly froze, and only the breaths of the two remained tightly entangled with each other, surging in the dark night.

Xia Houyong leaned close to Zhao You's face and said, "Does this have to be so that you can listen to me well?"

Zhao You raised his right hand, and a faint blue light burst out from the ring.Holding the ring across Xia Houyong's chest, he threatened, "Stay away from me!"

Xia Houyong smiled wickedly, leaned forward with eyes full of determination, looked at Zhao You's eyes widened by surprise, and calmly moved his lips.

Zhao You narrowed his eyes, bit his teeth hard on the corner of his mouth, blood spread, and immediately flowed between their lips and teeth.However, Xia Houyong didn't intend to let go, so Zhao You pushed him away and said, "You're crazy!"

Xia Houyong raised his thumb and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said with a smirk: "You are still the same, you will take the hard but not the soft." As soon as the words fell, he moved his lips again, Zhao You still wanted to push him away, But this man was determined to take advantage, and he tried his best to be stunned but didn't respond.

The faint scent of tobacco tinged with blood, the familiar touch was mixed with extremely cautious probing. At first, Zhao You kept his mouth tightly shut and protested silently. After a few struggles, Xia Houyong took over the high ground.Feeling Zhao You's tolerance, Xia Houyong became more aggressive.He grabbed Zhao You's wrist, moved his body forward, and completely curled Zhao You into his arms. Zhao You's arms moved twice, and he dropped down to give up resistance completely.

The man's sudden lack of response made Xia Houyong a little surprised. He slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Zhao You's pale lips and a sweaty face. He let go of his mouth, and Zhao You immediately wrinkled bitterly. Leaning against the wall, frowning, as if enduring great pain.

Xia Houyong said nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao You panted heavily, and said, "Don't worry, I won't die."

Xia Houyong hugged him tightly and said, "I'll take you to find Su Ningzi now."

Zhao You grabbed Xia Houyong, shook his head with deep eyes and said, "I... no... I won't go..."

"Nonsense!" Xia Houyong had just answered sharply, then softened his voice and begged, "I can't go."

Zhao You held Xia Houyong's clothes tightly, and said stubbornly, "You...you dare to take me...I'll just... hide in a place where you can never find me again."

Xia Houyong pursed the corners of his lower lips and said, "Even if I never see you again, I still have to save your life."

"You..." Zhao You was very angry at this big log, he took Xia Houyong's hand and said, "Please... please... I won't go."

The word "begging" immediately softened Xia Houyong. He supported Zhao You's shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao You closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "Old injury, I have a white porcelain bottle in my inner pocket, just take two pills."

Xia Houyong hurriedly groped in his arms, found the bottle and poured two red pills into Zhao You's mouth. Zhao You's breathing gradually stabilized, and he pushed Xia Houyong weakly, and said, "Go, I'm fine now." .”

Xia Houyong felt a sense of loss in his heart, endured the pent-up breath in his heart, and said, "In all these years, you really haven't thought about me for a moment?"

Zhao You rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice, "No..."

Xia Houyong frowned, bent down and hugged the man horizontally, and jumped onto the roof.

"Xia Houyong, what are you doing?"

Zhao You wanted to struggle, Xia Houyong slapped his butt hard, and threatened viciously: "If you move again, I will strip you naked and throw you down."

Zhao You knew that he must not reason with barbarians, so he kept his mouth shut.

Xia Houyong pushed open the door of the office, went straight to the inner room, and put Zhao You on the sofa.Zhao You looked around, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Xia Houyong suspiciously.

Xia Houyong sat down beside Zhao You, and paused every word: "Say, what's going on?" His tone was stiff, obviously angry.

Zhao You took a deep breath, relaxed a little, stretched one leg in front of him, put his hands behind his waist, pretended to be stupid and said, "What's going on?"

"You..." Xia Houyong paused, adjusted his tone, and asked more gently, "What happened when you fainted twice?"

Zhao You's face was gloomy, he licked his dry lips and said, "The last battle in Mucheng lasted for three days and three nights, and the lack of energy and blood left some sequelae."

"You put it lightly?"

"It's up to you to believe it or not." Of course Zhao You was lying, but he could only shut up when it came to the last battle where everyone was hiding something.He stared into Xia Houyong's eyes, sneered, and said, "Are you worth my cheating?"

Xia Houyong immediately silenced his voice, stared at Zhao You without moving, and suddenly looked at each other, making the atmosphere between the two more and more ambiguous.For Xia Houyong, this feeling is really disgusting, the person he misses is right in front of him, like a little hedgehog, who has to prick people full of holes to feel at ease.

But... every time Zhao You pushes him like this, he can't help getting closer.

During the long stare at each other, Zhao You finally disarmed and surrendered first, looked away and said, "Why are you looking for me tonight?"

Xia Houyong came back to his senses for a while, his face flushed, he moved away to leave some space for the two of them, and said, "Do you know about blood sacrifice?"

Zhao You asked in surprise, "Blood sacrifice?"

Xia Houyong nodded and said, "Yes, recently... Recently, there was a case in which a living person was used as a sacrifice to the undead who should have lost their souls."

Zhao You asked: "Does Li Zhaoling know about this case? What did he say?"

"Once the blood sacrifice starts, I don't know when it will end..."

Zhao You's eyes shifted, as if he was thinking: "You are right, blood sacrifice is a kind of life sacrifice, which originated from the Sutra clan in ancient times. People in this lineage uphold the destiny, so they are always unable to escape their own bad luck. They are generally small, so various methods of life sacrifices have been derived to prolong life."

Xia Houyong asked: "Then what about Lin Ying's case before? Does it have something to do with this family?"

Zhao You shook his head and said, "Life sacrifices imply water sacrifices, fire sacrifices, blood sacrifices, and living sacrifices. Who knows if there are soul sacrifices?"

Xia Houyong knew that Zhao You started to talk badly again.He loosened his teeth, and wanted to take advantage of Mao Shun to ask a few more questions, and continued: "Why do you agree with more than one person dying?"

Zhao You took the opportunity to turn around and missed Xia Houyong and said to the outside of the sofa: "Do you think offering sacrifices is a simple matter? Without enough dark power, it can't be done at all. This person has to gather all the sacrifices in a short time." Goods, let resentment breed hatred, and only in this way can the soul's own desire to survive be stimulated..."

He quietly fell silent at the end of his words, Xia Houyong lay in front of Zhao You, kneeling with one leg between his legs, approached his face and asked in a low voice: "Where do you want to run again?"

Zhao You's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he said stiffly, "I can go wherever I like, you don't care!"

Xia Houyong's eyes were low, he stroked his face with both hands, and said seriously: "I was wrong to force you that day... that night, but I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye, because..."

Zhao You turned his head, looked away and interrupted coldly: "I don't want to hear it!"

Xia Houyong held Zhao You's chin and turned around and said, "You must listen, the battle is imminent, and the messenger will inform me..." Zhao You ignored Xia Houyong, pushed him away and stood up.

Xia Houyong couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed Zhao You and pulled him back to the sofa, saying, "Since you complained that I didn't explain, why don't you want to listen to my explanation?"

The grief in Zhao You's eyes flashed past, and he really complained in his heart that Xia Houyong left without saying goodbye, but, dragging his broken body, he would rather leave some regrets for this relationship, so that at least the person in front of him will still be happy in the future. Can miss him.

Zhao You was ruthless, grabbed Xia Houyong's collar, and threw it over his shoulder neatly.

boom--

Xia Houyong's brain exploded, he looked at the ceiling, and murmured, "Since you like me, why are you so cruel and keep pushing me away?"

Zhao You's heart was pulled hard immediately, he knelt down and slapped Xia Houyong on the forehead, and said, "Who gave you the confidence, have you watched too many romantic dramas?"

He clapped his hands, picked up the guitar bag leaning against the sofa, and walked out. When he missed the table case, he took a few steps back, staring at the amphora on the table without speaking.

At some point, Xia Houyong stood behind Zhao You and rubbed his face against his neck, the beard on his mouth brought a fine tingling sensation, which made Zhao You tremble. The man said leisurely: " This thing is an antique now, and I estimate that it will cost hundreds of millions, do you know? How much effort did I take to protect it? It has to be washed with alkaline water to prevent shocks, extrusions, and collisions. Let's see when you can come back...to see..."

With red eyes, Zhao You said stubbornly: "It's just a broken bottle, you can throw it away if you find it troublesome." He broke free and wanted to leave.

Xia Houyong blocked Zhao You, hugged him in his arms and said, "I can't bear it."

Zhao You asked sullenly: "Why didn't you look for me after seeing me last time?"

"I... I didn't dare to go by myself, and it's not like I didn't look for it. Didn't your bar come for inspection every day? You were detained once..."

Zhao You didn't make a fuss, gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Houyong..."

Xia Houyong smiled "hehe", and hugged him tighter: "Okay, don't bother with me, I..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao You blocked his mouth.

Zhao You dragged him and pushed him down on the sofa.Looking into Xia Houyong's eyes, a voice raged in his heart: Fuck off, life is long and life is short, let's talk about it first!
