Well of Mystery

, repeatedly emphasizing to others that she is not a little girl, forcing the other party to accept herself.But once the other party accepts it, they always feel that the reason why the other party likes me is because of child pedophilia.How can this be broken? "

"..."

Although he doesn't quite understand how Huayin's peculiar mental journey was formed, Bai Xiuqi admits that he no longer simply hates this little girl.

"She seems to be very dissatisfied with her appearance." He tentatively asked: "After so many years, has she always been such a small one?"

"Always have, and I have been."

Hua Yang sighed again: "It's a long story, I'll talk about it when I have time. You came to me about the Wandering Island."

Bai Xiuqi nodded, so he recounted the clues he and Jiang Chenglu found in his hometown in the past two days.

After listening to his words, Hua Yang couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "According to what you said, the floating island has been developed and built, and there is serious pollution. The hot spring water source we are looking for may have been destroyed. "

"The possibility of being destroyed is very high. But it is not completely worth exploring."

Bai Xiuqi then began to tell the results of his further investigation: "Actually, I guess you should feel a little bit. The mine built on this isolated island in the sea is not an ordinary mine, but a labor reform farm. Thirty years ago, the island's There was a vicious production accident in the sulfur mine, and the fire almost engulfed the entire island. After that, the labor camp mine was shut down. The entire island was also closed until the last few years.”

"Accident? Fire?" Hua Yang smelled sensitive words: "What exactly happened?"

"I haven't found this part of the content on the Internet yet." Bai Xiuqi shook his head: "We can separately investigate this part later."

All in all, in the 30 years after the fire, Wandering Island and its surrounding islands have always been closed, buildings were abandoned, weeds grew wildly, and ocean currents washed away pollutants on the periphery of the island bit by bit.The ecological environment on the island has been restored and improved.

Of course, the so-called closure of the island is only for local fishermen and a small number of sea tourists.The reason why the Isle of Wandering Island was chosen as the labor camp base was because of its remote location.now.This remote location has become a safe haven for many fugitives.

Until recently, the local government was determined to wipe out the remnants of this wandering, and then opened up a number of islands available for commercial use, revitalizing their popularity and completely solving their worries.It is against this background that Wandering Island, or Rose Fire Island, was reopened.

According to the information published on the webpage, Rose Fire Island was leased by the current contractor about two years ago.The island's prescribed dominant use is "tourism and entertainment," which means that the remaining sulfur mineral resources on the island cannot be excavated without authorization.

"Travel? What's so interesting about such an isolated island?" Hua Yang muttered to himself, but what Bai Xiuqi said next made his eyes widen.

"It's hot springs, very, very rich geothermal hot springs."

---------------------------

In this way, the plan to go to the floating island was quickly finalized-to find the location of the hot spring, temporarily restore the normal feeling of the skin, and then use the time gained to find a way to obtain the Yujing Spring.

According to Bai Shu's notes, the process of temporarily softening the skin takes about seven days.Adding the time to find the hot spring and the round-trip distance before this, Bai Xiuqi estimated that their operation would take about half a month.As for the people involved in the operation—considering that it is considered a tourist resort island anyway, I just asked if anyone would like to go and relax together.

Jiang Chenglu was obviously the number one doing his part. Although it was obviously unrealistic not to be in Xuanjing Apartment for half a month, he insisted that he could come and go freely at night.Flying distance from here to the island is even faster than driving across the city.

On the other hand, Daxiong's boss, Shang Douxing, also began to struggle - logically speaking, his method of making the body is completely different from that used by Huayang, so it doesn't make much difference to him whether to go to the Wandering Island or not.However, after some tangling, he finally temporarily lost the right to watch the store to Le Yaochun, who had no time to go with him because of his exams.

In addition, although the little girl Huayin still has prejudice against Bai Xiuqi, she still chooses to follow in her brother's footsteps very straightforwardly.

Wei Xiangtu said that he would be on standby at any time to cooperate with Tao Chuan's work, and Tridacna said he was afraid to go there because he was afraid of snakes on the island.An Shande wants to watch the newly planted flower seedlings, Xiaohong is inconvenient to go out, and Li Kun is dragged by Ah Man to watch the World Cup in Brazil day and night... After a round of inquiry, only these five people make up a trip group.

After deciding on the number of people, Bai Xiuqi began to call the phone number provided in the travel guide.The mobile phone number was quickly connected, and the owner of the mobile phone sounded like an elderly man.

Bai Xiuqi first confirmed that the other party was an employee of the island, and then said straight to the point that he wanted to travel to the island. The basic living facilities are still under construction.So the living conditions can be a little rough.

He's still a real person——Bai Xiuqi thought to himself.

In any case, living is definitely to live on the island.So although she was a bit disgusted psychologically, Bai Xiuqi still pretended to be nonchalant and agreed, and asked how the hot spring resources on the island were.

Hearing that the guest was here to soak in the hot spring, the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone suddenly got excited and promised that the hot springs on Rose Fire Island are definitely different from those in other places.Moreover, it contains sulfur ingredients, which have a significant effect on the treatment of skin diseases.

What he said, some details really hit the mark.Bai Xiuqi secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Since the right to use Rose Fire Island is privately owned, there is no public transport ferry between the island and the land. If you want to go to the island, you must notify the boats on the island in advance and let them pick you up at the pier.Bai Xiuqi immediately made an appointment with this person about the time to go to the island, which was three o'clock in the afternoon a week later.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Time passed quickly, and it was the morning of the seventh day in a blink of an eye.Just after six o'clock, Jiang Chenglu's new car started up again, and the wonderful tour group of five people left the apartment.Drive on the highway and gallop towards the southeast out of the province.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Chenglu was driving, of course, and Bai Xiuqi, who had nearly recovered his mobility, was in the passenger seat.But worried that his feet would be swollen during the long journey, Jiang Chenglu thoughtfully prepared a pair of slippers for him.

The situation in the back row is not so leisurely - Shang Douxing, who has to travel as a giant teddy bear, sits in the middle seat depressingly.With a height of more than two meters and a huge horizontal body, it looks like a big sponge stuffed into a matchbox.

on his left and right sides.The two brothers and sisters of Hua's family were sitting on each side, and they buried half of their heads in Big Bear's soft body with great enjoyment.

If you encounter a traffic policeman on a temporary inspection on the road, the other party will definitely feel very strange.I will definitely ask Huayin how this little girl is squeezed into a car with three men... No, the most important thing at that time is to let Boss Shang keep the absolute prohibition and pretend to be a real teddy bear—— Looking at the strange scene in the back row in the rear mirror, Bai Xiuqi couldn't help thinking this way.

Fortunately, it happened to be during the World Cup recently, and the traffic police, whether it was highways or urban roads, seemed to be focusing on catching dangerous elements who were driving drunk in the middle of the night, and they drove for hours without encountering anything episode.

And Yao Mozi was waiting for them at the next toll booth.

Chapter [-] Listening to Jiang Chenglu's Story of the Past

At twelve noon, the vehicle stopped to rest at the inter-provincial transfer toll booth.

A few people randomly found a fast food restaurant and bought a few boxed meals. Except for Shang Daxiong who could only continue to hide in the car, everyone else sat in the air-conditioned lounge for a quick fight.

Although there is no serious problem in terms of movement, Bai Xiuqi's stomach is still a bit taboo to pure solid food.He casually picked up two mouthfuls of rice, ate a few slices of vegetables, and threw the rest to Jiang Chenglu. He stood up and prepared to go to the newsstand to see if there were any magazines that he could buy to relieve his boredom.

It just so happens that a small newsstand at the junction of the two provinces sells a travel guide based on the provincial map.Thinking that the general location and description of the wandering island might be marked on it, Bai Xiuqi paid for a copy and turned back.Wandering Island did not see it, but his eyes were attracted by another location.

"look."

He quickly walked back to Jiang Chenglu, and spread out the travel guide.Jiang Chenglu poked his head around while wielding his chopsticks, and found that the most prominent thing on that page was a seascape photo.The gray-blue water laps on the pale yellow sand, and there are tourists walking in twos and threes.Farther away, there is a vaguely low and old building complex.

He was taken aback for a moment, and said inexplicably, "Why are you showing me this?"

There was a faint light in Bai Xiuqi's eyes: "This place is called Luolongtan, and it is the place where you fell."

"Me, fell? When did I fall?" Jiang Chenglu rubbed his head, a little confused.

Bai Xiuqi glared at him a little impatiently.

"Looks like I have to buy you some melatonin... You were badly injured decades ago. You flew over from the sea and landed on the beach with my soul in your claws. The local villagers want to save You came, but you scattered my soul... The place name of Luolongtan must have been changed later."

"Oh... yes, there is a thing..."

Jiang Chenglu touched his chin.Finally grinned and remembered.

But now, whether you remember it or not is not the most important thing.According to the records in this tourist brochure, Luolongtan is now a newly opened tourist attraction in the province, and it is very, very close to the pier where they will board the boat today.

Bai Xiuqi then grasped another blind spot: "Is it just a coincidence that the place where you fell is so close to the wandering island now?"

"Perhaps Mr. Bai wanted to revisit his hometown, so he went back to Luolongtan. He found a wandering island nearby." As an optimist, Jiang Chenglu thought of the simplest explanation.

What the truth is, I am afraid it will be difficult to be confirmed.But anyway, the two places are very close together, so you can drop by to have a look.

After making this decision, they took a short rest for a few minutes and started back on the road half an hour earlier than the original plan. They first locked their destination on "Luolongtan".

The introduction of this place in the travel brochure was very brief, so everyone took out their mobile phones and turned to Google and Du Niang for help. After a few minutes, the relevant information began to be compiled bit by bit.

"There are jumping fish and small crabs on the beach. There are razor clams in the mud, and mussels behind the reef. The villagers provide services such as parachutes at sea, speedboat tours, and horseback riding by the sea."

Hua Yin, who was the first to speak, was obviously adding to the confusion, and after she finished speaking, she glanced in front of her triumphantly.

As the elder brother, Huayang completely ignored the younger sister's nonsense.

"The village on the beach has also been renamed Luolong Village to commemorate the giant dragon that fell from the sky to the beach at the entrance of their village. To this day, every year on the fifteenth day of the sixth lunar month, the villagers still live on the beach. A sacrificial ceremony will be held."

"June [-]th?" Shang Daxiong is very sensitive to the lunar calendar: "Isn't that today?"

Looks like a good show to watch.

----------------------

After considering the opinions of various parties.Bai Xiuqi called the middle-aged contact person on the wandering island and asked him to postpone the time of landing on the island to the next morning.They planned to spend this night in Luolong Village.

On a summer afternoon, the drowsy second half of the journey began.In the back seat, Big Bear hugged Huayang brothers and sisters on the left and right, and dozed off while stuck in the seat.Bai Xiuqi, who had nothing to do, could have fallen asleep with his head on one side, but he was worried that Jiang Chenglu would fall asleep driving alone, so he tried his best to keep his voice down and talked with him. .

"About Hutian, I have a question."

He expressed the doubt hidden in his heart: "Since the pot sky is an illusion created by the practitioner from the bottom of his heart. Can it be regarded as a part of that person's body?"

"Well, we have to look at it in two parts."

Jiang Chenglu freed up a hand to compare numbers.

"First of all, if the Hutian is still on the spiritual level, it is indeed part of the human body. But once the Hutian enters the materialized stage, then the materialized thing is no longer a part of the human body."

"..."

Hearing what he said, Bai Xiu's opened mouth immediately closed again: "Uh, then I have no problem."

Jiang Chenglu protested: "If you don't bring such an appetizing person, what exactly did you want to ask just now?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask if Hutian can exist without the master's consciousness. For example, after the master's death... You seem to have answered this question just now."

"Oh, you're talking about this, of course you can."

Jiang Chenglu nodded, and then pointed out the window: "Actually, the world we live in is itself a gigantic pot of heaven. Who do you think is its owner?"

"Pangu?"

Bai Xiuqi answered in a second, and added: "Before Pan Gu woke up, the world was in chaos, clear and turbid. The elements that make up everything are wandering. It can be said that the world 'exists', but 'does not exist'. After that, Pan Gu When he wakes up, the chaos is divided because of his consciousness, the clear air rises to become the god realm, and the turbid air sinks to become the demon realm."

"Hey, you know quite a lot." Jiang Chenglu smiled: "Then do you know. How did the human world under our feet come into being?"

Bai Xiuqi was silent for a while, as if searching for the answer in his mind, but finally shook his head frankly: "... I don't know."

"You don't know, brother knows."

Jiang Chenglu proudly overtook a car: "It's just that I'm bored. I'll let my brother tell you slowly."

Things have to start from the beginning of the ancient times——

After Pangu woke up, the turbidity began to separate.The most pure qi rises to become the God Realm, and the most turbid qi descends to become the Demon Realm.And the part where the clear and the turbid are intertwined exists between the world of gods and demons, and has become the human world we see today.

Shortly after the prototype of the three worlds appeared, Pangu entered his period of weakness.And eventually die.His body became mountains, his blood became rivers and oceans, and his hair became trees and vegetation.From its body came out the first gods and demons, and of course the master of the human world.

"Master of the human world, are you referring to human beings?" Bai Xiuqi couldn't help interrupting him: "But when you mentioned Yujing Spring, you clearly said that human beings were created by Nu Wa. This is not self-contradictory." ?"

"It's not contradictory." Jiang Chenglu showed a narrow smile: "Who said that people are the masters of the world? I mean animals."

Creatures that first appeared on land and in the sea began to multiply on this brand new land, and as Darwin said, produced slow evolution.One of the very "hardworking" ones is the ancient ape.In fact, they are even recognized as the ancestors of all humans in the world.

However, just when the ancient ape was about to evolve successfully, a major event disrupted all rhythms.

"Did Nu Wa create a human being?" Bai Xiuqi interrupted and asked.

"No," Jiang Chenglu shook his head this time: "Gods and demons are at war."

The war that took place in the two worlds of gods and demons has also spread to the human world.Divinity after death.The spiritual energy in the body collapsed, landed on the earth, entered the bodies of animals and plants, and produced the earliest "immortals" and "demons".

"There are no human beings in the immortals in this period. It should be said that there were no such things as human beings in the Three Realms at that time."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chenglu stretched out his hand to hook Bai Xiuqi's chin to attract his attention.

"The immortals in that period were called 'True Immortals' and 'Heavenly Demons', all of which were transformed from animals and plants. The power of ancient gods and demons circulated in their bodies and could be passed down from generation to generation. In fact, they There are ethnic differences."

"...Five clans?"

Bai Xiuqi vaguely flashed this word in his mind, but he didn't really know the meaning behind it.

But he saw Jiang Chenglu nodded: "That's right. But at this time there are only four clans——Yu clan, Lin clan, Qiu clan, and Jie clan."

Bai Xiuqi didn't answer, but he already showed with his eyes that he didn't understand a single word.Of course Jiang Chenglu understood what he was thinking.Immediately began to explain.

"The Yu clan are birds, the Scales are fish, amphibians, and some reptiles, the Qiu clan are all mammals, and the Jie clan is the rest."

All these four races, as well as other true immortals and sky demons transformed from plants, were divided into two camps under the guidance of gods and demons, and the flames of war that ignited almost overturned the Three Realms.At the same time, some gods and demons who were tired of fighting quietly turned their attention to other places.

"Should it be Nuwa now?" Bai Xiuqi complained like a child listening to a story.

Jiang Chenglu finally nodded his head: "The hard-working ancient ape could not beat the paratroopers in the end--Nuwa made humans out of the earth, and humans began to multiply and thrive on this land. Finally, one day, everyone was tired of fighting, Finally, a treaty of non-violent non-cooperation was signed, and the age of peace came."

The four clans who have become heavenly demons or true immortals began to imitate the environment of the demon world and the god world, creating the demon world and the fairy world and emigrating there.Human beings have gradually become the masters of the earth, and after the death of human beings, the ghost world was born.In this way, the original three realms became six realms.

Many years later, a small group of human beings also mastered the method of cultivation, and also entered the ranks of immortals and demons.

"Wait a minute." Bai Xiuqi interrupted him again: "It's not difficult to understand that a human being can become a fairy. How can a human become a demon? What is that, a human demon?"

Chapter One Hundred and Eight

"Usually they are called Yaoseng or Yaodao."

Jiang Chenglu smiled: "But now, the concepts of immortals and demons have become very blurred, because in the six worlds, the entrances to the gods and demons no longer exist, and I believe that the two worlds are also on the verge of extinction. We can only try to be alone. Immortal islands like Shengzhou Island and Kunlun Yuxu have also closed their doors to welcome visitors, and the battle between gods and demons is impossible to fight."

Bai Xiuqi then thought of something: "So strictly speaking, you should actually be a fairy, not a demon?"

"Perhaps." Jiang Chenglu nodded: "You haven't heard of dragon monsters, have you?"

"It's usually called evil dragon or magic dragon." Bai Xiuqi also imitated his tone, and couldn't help asking another question; "What happened in the six realms? Why did gods and demons disappear?"

"I don't know... Maybe I don't remember."

Jiang Chenglu turned the steering wheel and turned a corner, looking at the road ahead in a daze.

"Like you, my memory is intermittent."

Having said that, he turned his head sideways with a smile, and whispered in Bai Xiuqi's ear: "A broken me, how can I save a broken you..."

"Watch the road and see the road!"

Bai Xiuqi was so frightened that he pushed him back to his original position: "If we go on, we will really become broken!"

In any case, this journey finally arrived at the end without any risk.

"Luolong Village, the off-ramp is about 1000 meters ahead."

A reminder from Jiangcheng Road came to my ears, and at the same time the vehicle gradually slowed down, leaving the high speed and driving to the ground section after 1 minute.

There are tropical palm fields on both sides of the road.It bears clusters of crimson fruits.Immediately after turning a corner, the blue sea suddenly jumped out.

At the moment when he saw the sea, Bai Xiuqi's mind went blank for a few seconds, and a familiar feeling jumped out from the bottom of his heart.

That's right.right here.

The road stretches all the way along the golden sandy beach, and all kinds of tourist billboards begin to appear on the side of the road.As Luolong Village approached, the banners of "The xxth Tenglong Festival" were pulled up on the lampposts on both sides of the road.Guardrails and fences began to appear on the beach, and some were opened up as parking lots.There are not many vehicles, and the license plates are all local.

Bai Xiuqi put one hand on his forehead to cover the sunlight, while looking towards the direction of the sea.Soon new discoveries were made.

"what is that!"

Following his gaze, Jiang Chenglu also found that thing on the beach - a long one lying on the beach, with the end leading into the sea, like a dam that should have been built in the middle of the river. There are also many colorful flags around the "dam", creating a joyful and slightly weird atmosphere.

There happened to be a parking lot on the side of the road, so Jiang Chenglu pulled over and was about to get out of the car with Bai Xiuqi to inquire.Huayang and Shang Douxing in the back seat also woke up, but Shang Douxing could not act without authorization, so they were persuaded by Bai Xiuqi to stay in the car and continue to blow on the air conditioner.

By the seaside in the afternoon, the sun is scorching hot.The heat of the sand baked the calf.Fortunately, after the body change, Bai Xiuqi's physique was yin, but it was not intolerable.He followed Jiang Chenglu down the gap in the beach fence, and soon came to the pile of strange things.

It can be seen that this is the herringbone sunshade built by the villagers with straw mats and wooden boards after Jiangcheng Road fell.The colored flags planted around are all tied with ropes, barely playing the role of protecting the scene.

"There seems to be something else in the shed."

talking.Jiang Chenglu raised his foot and was about to step into the quarantine area.Suddenly, a thin shirtless monkey jumped out from behind the rocks by the sea and shouted loudly: "Don't go in, don't go in!

Jiang Chenglu reluctantly held back his feet, turned his head to look at the person who came with Bai Xiuqi, the person also looked at them with a displeased face, and asked, "Didn't you see the sign next to it? Who let you in?! "

"Brand, what brand?"

Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked around, but they did not see any warning signs.In the end, the young man took two steps and dug out a wooden sign that had been blown down by the wind and covered in dust.

"Cough cough..."

Young people know what to do.There is no more to say.He lowered his head and inserted the wooden sign, then squatted on the side to watch over it.

Bai Xiuqi asked him, "Is there a ceremony here tonight?"

"Have."

The young man nodded happily: "It's too hot in the daytime, and we don't start until after the sun goes down. There are also various performances. How about it? If you are interested, you can stay and take a look."

Bai Xiuqi nodded to express his intention.Ask the young man if there is any hotel or homestay for overnight stay, and the young man's eyes light up immediately.

"Then stay at my house, sea view room."

The young man introduced himself as A Hai, the son of the female director of Luolong Village.In recent years, the village has invigorated economic development and vigorously developed tourism, so Ah Hai's family also opened an inn, and the beach is only ten meters away.

Since Ah Hai had to stay on the beach to watch the scene, he reported a series of mobile phone numbers and the name of the inn.Bai Xiuqi discussed with Jiang Chenglu and found that there was no problem, so he returned to the car and reported the situation to the remaining three people.

Of course Hua Yang and Shang Douxing had no objection, Hua Yin was still sleeping soundly on Da Xiong's shoulder, and no one dared to disturb her.So the vehicle started up again, and drove straight along the coastal path, and entered Luolong Village in a short while.

This is a small village that seems to have been forgotten by time in the 80s of the last century.Looking around, the low buildings with an average height of less than two floors are arranged high and low on both sides of the road.The flat concrete road has turned into an exquisite alley made of broken bricks, sand and shells, and a few dogs are lying on the edge of the morning glory fence sticking out their tongues.

There was an upward step ahead, and Jiang Chenglu had to stop the car.Bai Xiuqi and Hua Yang got out of the carriage, and Shang Douxing was about to join forces when he suddenly remembered that he had to disguise himself as an ordinary big teddy bear.

"She may have hid in the pot sky, wait a moment, I will wake her up."

Hua Yang shook his sister twice, and found that she was not moving at all. He was about to make a move, but he saw two children who didn't know where they came from, standing in the corner and looking at them curiously.

"The bear seemed to move just now..." Bai Xiuqi heard one of them whispering to the other.

It seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Now that Huayin has woken up, it will be very difficult to deal with getting angry or something.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuqi patted Hua Yang's shoulder: "Forget it. Let her sleep for a while, and I will carry it."

"No!" Jiang Chenglu frowned immediately: "Are you kidding me!"

"Don't worry, I'm recovering very well, and I don't have any problems walking." Bai Xiuqi's attitude was also very firm: "Don't forget that Boss Shang can't walk, I can't carry that."

"Let me carry Huayin." Huayang made another suggestion.

Bai Xiuqi still shook his head: "Your body is more fragile than mine now. If you really hold Huayin, your arms will fall off immediately, right? The Wandering Island is on the other side, and everything will get better soon, so before that, don't It’s going to be extravagant again.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hugged Huayin out of the seat.The little girl's weight was a little lighter than he had imagined before, and she didn't feel heavy in his hands.He immediately said that there was no problem with this weight, and then Jiang Chenglu followed suit to get Shang Daxiong out.

The big bear, which is as tall as a person, made the eyes of the two children straighten.Bai Xiuqi took the opportunity to ask them to lead the way, and successfully found A Hai's inn.

It was still a small courtyard with a traditional flavor. The eaves of the two-story building were covered with large and small shells and conch shells, and there were spider plants and other small flowers that could not be named.

Xiaohai's father went to the women's federation work meeting, his mother enthusiastically ushered him in, and wanted to help hug the big bear doll in Jiang Chenglu's hand, but luckily he didn't succeed.There was a bench in the yard, Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu put Shang Daxiong and Huayin on the chairs for the time being, Boss Shang pretended to be hard, but the little girl was still sleeping deeply.

Although it is a homestay, the check-in procedures have to be handled according to the rules.In the registration room, Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi share a room, while Huayang and Huayin live in a separate room.

Seeing Jiang Chenglu take out an ID card from his pocket with a serious face, Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but leaned over to take a peek.Jiang Chenglu, who was shown in the head-on photo, also failed to escape the common tragedy of similar photographs—it was photographed as if he was a fugitive who hadn’t slept for days and nights, and was brought to take pictures as soon as he was arrested. The date marked on it is October 29, 10 years ago.

"Your grandfather set the date for me." Jiang Chenglu secretly explained to Bai Xiuqi while the proprietress was not paying attention.

The ID card was handled by Tao Chuan, which is indeed true in a sense.The proprietress did a simple registration and gave them three keys, all on the first floor, facing the small courtyard.

"If you want to eat, you can order food in the living room." Before leaving, the proprietress also specially asked: "But today is special, it will be gone after 6:[-], and the villagers are going to participate in the sacrifice, you also need to see it Bar?"

Bai Xiuqi nodded, and inquired about the exact time when the ceremony would start, and then said goodbye to the proprietress, and took the key to open the room.

Huayin and Shang Douxing were carried into the room by Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu respectively. As soon as they entered the door, Huayang pulled down all the curtains at the front and back, while Shang Douxing immediately became active, taking the curtains from Bai Xiuqi's hands. Passing through the shade of flowers, she put it on the bed beside her.

"There's nothing to do, so let's go back to our room first." Bai Xiuqi said, "Rest now. At five o'clock in the evening, I will ask the proprietress to cook some dishes and bring them over. After dinner, I will go to the festival."

Everyone said they had no objections, and then Jiang Chenglu led Bai Xiuqi to another room.

Almost at the moment when the door was closed again, Huayin, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly just now, suddenly sat up straight, but she didn't react at all, just thoughtful.

"How is it?" Hua Yang obviously knew that she was pretending to be asleep before: "Is it comfortable to be hugged by a handsome guy all the way?"

Huayin glared at him, but still didn't answer.

Chapter [-]: The Ceremony of the Small Village

Almost at the moment when the door of the guest room opened, Jiang Chenglu suddenly attacked from behind, picked up Bai Xiuqi and put him on the bed, and carefully checked the condition of his arms and body.

"I'm fine." Bai Xiuqi couldn't laugh or cry at his overprotectiveness, and reached out to touch his head: "Don't worry, I'm really not as fragile as you think."

However, Jiang Chenglu was still brooding: "That stinky girl, when she wakes up, I have to tell her who brought her here!"

Bai Xiuqi smiled: "You think she doesn't know now?"

"..." Now it was Jiang Chenglu's turn to be speechless, he was stunned before he realized: "You mean, she has always..."

"Awake." Bai Xiuqi confirmed Jiang Chenglu's guess: "The difference between those who deliberately pretend to be asleep and those who are really asleep is quite obvious. I have been painting for so long, and I can still observe this."

"You know she's awake, but you're still willing to hug her, oh~~~~" Jiang Cheng put his arm on Bai Xiuqi's shoulder in a pretentious manner: "You've changed your mind and fell in love with little loli."

"roll."

Bai Xiuqi pushed him away and watched Jiang Chenglu fall backwards and lie on the bed.

Well, quite satisfied, it seems that the strength of the arm has been fully restored.

----------------------

The reason why a homestay is called a homestay is that its simple style is a big selling point, but it also often means that the facilities and furnishings are below the hotel standard.

This room is quite spacious, and the floor height is not low, but it still gives people an old and depressing feeling overall.Two beds, one on the left and one on the right, were placed far away at the two ends of the room, exactly the same hardwood plank beds.The straw mats filled the room with a stale smell.

Jiang Chenglu waved his hand, and saw a small door with simple decoration on the wall between the two beds.Bai Xiuqi glanced at him and knew what he meant.

"No, I'm not that picky. I used to live in hotels when I came out to sketch, and it's worse than this."

This is indeed true.But to be honest, there is another premise - Bai Xiuqi did bring his own bed sheets and pillowcases, just like when he first stayed at Jiang Chenglu's house back then.If the conditions are not enough, then he will choose to sleep with his clothes on.

However, this time Jiang Chenglu became stubborn: "This is my pot of heaven, don't you want to see what it looks like inside?"

"...Isn't your Hutian the warehouse where you put your treasures?"

"That was before. After what happened to you. I made another one, a new one."

Unable to resist Jiang Chenglu's expectant eyes, Bai Xiuqi finally nodded, walked over and pushed the small door open.

"here it is--!"

The inside of the small door was unexpectedly dark, and there seemed to be a narrow corridor in front of it, revealing the coolness of the underground.Just when Bai Xiuqi felt surprised, he suddenly saw a light in front of him.

Not lights, nor candlelight, but faint blue.The light of ghost fire ghost lamp.

Could it be that.Is this a dungeon? !
