Indulge in eyebrows

In late autumn, the ground is full of fallen leaves.

A young man in gray clothes stood alone behind the rockery, and while cleaning the leaves all over the ground, he muttered to himself: "The south - no, the north - there is nothing, only the east and west are not found. It’s just a demon cult, why is it so mysterious that you can’t even find the dungeon? It’s really disgusting!”

When he was scolding vigorously, he suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Xiao Yue."

"Ah!" Lin Yue was taken aback, quickly calmed down, smiled all over his face, and responded loudly, "Brother Zhang, I'm here."

While talking, I saw an ordinary-looking young man walking towards him with a big broom on his shoulders, with half a piece of pancake in his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Xiao Yue, you got up so early today again? Really? diligent."

"Hey." Lin Yue smiled a little embarrassedly and said nothing.

The man stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Although work is important, don't miss the time to eat at noon."

"Um."

"I'm leaving first, you should sweep the floor properly."

"Yes."

Lin Yue nodded heavily, smiling innocently.

It wasn't until he watched the man surnamed Zhang leave that he recovered his expression of gnashing his teeth, and scolded this harmful Demon Cult from top to bottom.

That's right, he is a common spy in martial arts.

He tried every means to sneak into this demon sect, and wronged himself to pretend to be a sweeper, just to find out his father's whereabouts.It's a pity that he has been sweeping the ground here for half a month, but he hasn't even found the shadow of the dungeon. Now there are still two directions that he hasn't looked for. I don't know where it will be?

There are several stone gates to the east, and a dense forest to the west... Well, let's go west first.

Thinking about it, Lin Yue also carried the broom on his shoulder, looked around, and then sneaked towards the dense forest to the west.

It is said that this place is forbidden by the Demon Cult. He has been sweeping the ground for so long, but he has never set foot there. Now that he explored it, he discovered that there is something strange inside.It turns out that after passing through the dense forest, there is a white pool, and then there are several huts, with exotic flowers and plants planted in front of the door, and the environment is very quiet.

Lin Yue stared blankly, wondering if there was anyone living in the room, when suddenly there was a sound of rushing water next to his ears, and then he saw a figure standing up from the pool of water - first with black and soft long hair, Then came the white and smooth naked back, and finally the slender and moving waist...

pounding.

Lin Yue only took one look from a distance, and then he felt dry mouth, stiff hands and feet, and his whole face turned red uncontrollably.

hurry up!

Turn around and leave!

He shouted like this in his heart, but he couldn't move his eyes away no matter what, he watched the person in the pool splashing the water, and slowly turned around.

Huh?Chest is flat?

……man?

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but after seeing the man's face clearly, his heart jumped wildly again.

It was clearly delicate and seductive facial features, and a delicate and handsome face, but that face was pale and pale, with no blood on the lips, and the black eyes were frighteningly deep, with a faint ghostly aura.

Lin Yue's fingers trembled, and there was a chill behind him. He couldn't be sure whether the person standing in front of him was a living person, or...a ghost?

Just when he was about to turn around and run away, the man in the water suddenly took a step forward and asked blankly, "Who are you?"

"I, I, I..." Lin Yue stammered for a long time before remembering the broom on his shoulders. He quickly took it off and waved it twice, saying, "I'm a sweeper! I work from morning to night every day, and my skin is still wet. Thick and old, not tasty at all! So you must not eat me."

He was so anxious that he was sweating, and his flustered and flustered appearance was really ridiculous.

But the man standing in the water seemed to turn a blind eye, and only asked softly, "The sweeper? Why are you here?"

"I... accidentally lost my way."

"Turn left and go straight ahead, and you will find the exit." The man raised his hand and brushed his long wet hair, his black eyes darkened a bit, foggy. "This is a forbidden place in the religion, don't come here again."

Lin Yue nodded hastily, until now he realized that the person in front of him spoke extremely strangely.The voice is deep and hoarse, and the tone is light and slow, as if you will die if you say one more sentence.

He obviously should turn around and run away, but he still couldn't help asking: "In this weather, isn't it cold for you to take a shower outside?"

The implication is that he actually wants to ask the other party whether he is a human or a ghost.

But the man didn't answer, just glanced at him lightly, and sank to the bottom of the water again.

It really is a ghost!

And it's a water ghost!

Lin Yue suddenly felt his legs go weak, he threw the broom in his hand casually, turned around and ran away.

He ran out of the woods all the way, and then ran all the way back to the rockery where he usually sweeps the ground, but his body was still shaking, his heart pounding against his chest, as if he would jump out at any time.

It wasn't until Zhang Feng came over and called him to have lunch that he came back to his senses a little bit, and asked cautiously while gnawing on the dry steamed buns, "Brother Zhang, have you ever been in that forest to the west?"

Zhang Feng was shocked, as if he had been greatly frightened, he hurriedly said, "It's not that I'm impatient, how could I run to that ghostly place?"

"Is that place dangerous?"

"Of course, none of the people who went in survived."

Hearing this, Lin Yue couldn't help trembling again, muttering: "Sure enough...the water ghost is looking for someone to take his life..."

It's a pity that he died before he left the teacher, and before he rescued his father, he was going to die first.

The more Lin Yue thought about it, the more he felt wronged, mourning his untimely death with a resentful expression, while Zhang Feng gave him a strange look and said, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Huh? Isn't there a ghost living in the woods?"

"Wrong, people live there." After a pause, his face was slightly distorted, and fear appeared in his eyes. "A beauty who would kill someone."

"Huh? Killer?"

"Idiot." Zhang Feng stared helplessly, stretched out his hand to flick Lin Yue's forehead, and said word by word: "That person... is the male favorite of the leader."

"Oh, so that's the case." Lin Yue suddenly realized and nodded, but then frowned and asked, "Why is the leader's male favorite so powerful?"

"Stinky boy, do you have any brains?" Zhang Feng couldn't help but tapped Lin Yue's forehead again, and said, "Of course it's because the leader is very jealous, and no one is allowed to approach his male favorite. Anyone who sees Lin Yue For that person, there is only one way to die.”

Lin Yue already hated the Demon Cult for arresting his father, but now he was even more angry, and blurted out: "The leader is really deceiving people too much!"

"Ah? Xiaoyue, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Uh..." Lin Yue realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, and said, "No, I didn't say anything."

"The leader is cruel and murderous, so don't act recklessly." Zhang Feng looked at Lin Yue with a strange expression, and deliberately added: "Especially don't step into that forest."

"Yes, I know."

Lin Yue nodded repeatedly, but the gorgeous face of the "Water Ghost" involuntarily appeared in front of his eyes - the eyes were as black as ink, and the thin lips were bloodless, they were indeed very handsome.

No wonder the leader treasured him so much that he wouldn't even let others look at him.

If I had known that the man was not a ghost, I should have spent more time in the woods and talked to him a few more words.

As Lin Yue thought, he looked up at the woods to the west, then blushed quickly, lowered his head and continued to eat steamed buns.After lunch, he originally wanted to change the place to sweep the floor, but suddenly remembered that he had left the broom in the woods and couldn't do the job at all.

what to do?Do you want to go back and get it?

The answer is actually quite clear.

However, Lin Yue seemed to be attracted by some kind of magic power. After looking around, he quietly stepped forward again and walked into the forest step by step.Walking to the front of Bitan, I saw that the "water ghost" had come out of the pool, wrapped in a long black gown, his hair was still wet and dripping with water, giving him a ghostly aura.

Lin Yue felt his chest jump wildly again. He was obviously terrified, but his eyes were completely glued to that person, and he couldn't move away no matter what.

But when the man saw him, there was no surprise on his face, he just asked coldly, "Why are you here again?"

"I..." Lin Yue blushed slightly, and stammered for a while before rushing to pick up the broom on the ground, and hugging it tightly like grabbing a life-saving straw. "I'm here to pick this up!"

Hearing this, the man glanced at him lightly, his face remained expressionless. "Now that you've found it, let's go."

"Oh."

Lin Yue said it should be straightforward, but his legs couldn't move. After struggling for a long time, he finally turned around.But as soon as he took two steps, he turned back recklessly and read out a long series of words: "I've only been here for half a month, and I've been sweeping the garden, and everyone calls me Xiaoyue. You... what's your name?"

"..." The man stared at him without answering.

Lin Yue then sighed, hugged the broom tightly in his arms, turned and left reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, after he walked a few steps, he suddenly heard a suppressed coughing sound from behind, and then heard the sound getting more and more frightening, as if he would die at any moment.

Lin Yue was taken aback, and looked back, only to find that the man in black had knelt down on the ground, with his hands tightly covering his chest, his face distorted in pain, and his appearance was extremely terrifying.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Lin Yue rushed over to hold him by the shoulder, and asked, "I'm not feeling well? Do you want to go in and rest? Or should I go to the doctor?"

The man in black hung his head, coughed violently for a while before recovering, and said weakly, "Don't touch me."

"what?"

"Don't you know... who I am?" He raised his hand, but couldn't exert any strength. After a lot of effort, he only pushed Lin Yue, and asked in a hoarse voice.

Lin Yue's face turned red again, and he replied nonchalantly, "Of course I know."

"Why don't you let go then?"

"You are so sick, how can I leave it alone? Of course I know that you are the leader's favorite man, and I also know that the leader is cruel and murderous. Anyone who has seen you will only have a dead end, but..." Lin Yue said As he spoke, he became incoherent, and his voice was even fainter. "But, as soon as I saw you, I liked it in my heart, and I couldn't help but want to get close to you."

Lin Yue's words were nonsensical, but the man in black was extremely surprised, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he stared straight at him.After a long time, just then I closed my eyes, returned to that frosty look, and said softly, "Help me to the pool."

"Ah, good." Although Lin Yue didn't understand why he changed his mind, he was overjoyed. He quickly pulled him up and walked carefully to the edge of the pool.

The man in black didn't jump directly into the water this time, he just bent over, slowly lowered his body, and sank his entire face into the water.

Lin Yue was terrified watching from the sidelines, thinking that real water ghosts wouldn't be so terrifying, he hesitated a few times to escape, but he held back obediently and waited obediently.

After a while, only the sound of water splashing, the man finally raised his head, gasping for breath.His face was covered with water stains, his face was still pale, his eyes were even darker, with a ghostly look.

Lin Yue was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. He was both shocked and frightened. His legs were weak and he couldn't move.He was reluctant to run away before, but now he wanted to run away but couldn't do so, so he laughed a few times and asked in a trembling voice, "You...are you a human or a ghost?"

His eyes blinked and blinked, and the bottom of his eyes was full of mist, and he had an expression of terrified fear, which was really ridiculous.

The man in black stared blankly, and sure enough, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he smiled slightly.

"Didn't you want to ask my name?"

"Uh, yeah."

"My surname is Xu," he raised his hand and brushed the messy hair on his cheeks behind his ears, his voice was low and hoarse, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of coquettish color, and he spit out two words slowly: "Xu Qing."

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he was almost taken aback.It took a while to come back to his senses, and he sneaked a few glances at Xu Qing, and murmured: "This name sounds nice."

After a pause, he added with a red face, "You look so pretty when you smile."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing withdrew her smile, with a chill in her eyes, and said coolly, "You can go."

Lin Yue also felt that he shouldn't stay here for a long time, but his legs were limp and completely disobedient, and his eyes were firmly stuck to the man in front of him, and he couldn't bear to look away.

So instead of leaving obediently, he leaned closer, opened his mouth and asked, "Why did you bury your head in the water just now?"

Hearing this, Xu Qing just gave Lin Yue a cold look, and raised her hand to wipe the water stains on her face, clearly not bothering to talk to him.

Lin Yue felt his heart beating wildly again, his body trembled, and he murmured to himself: "Is it some kind of ritual of water ghosts to wash their face before eating people? I have thick skin and thick flesh, and I really don't delicious."

Hearing what he said, Xu Qing really couldn't laugh or cry. She couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, and hummed softly: "Who said that I want to eat you? Only the water in this cold pool can hold me down." Poison in the body."

"Ah, that's how it is." Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes almost sparkled, and he shouted excitedly, "You really are a human and not a ghost!"

Xu Qing didn't respond, she just looked at him sideways, her thin lips slightly raised, a half-smile.

Lin Yue blushed again, and then said: "What kind of poison did you have? Why did you have to soak in cold water to cure it? Your complexion is so bad, it must be because of poisoning? Have you seen the doctor for this disease? Have you taken your medicine properly?"

He asked a long series of questions without panting, but Xu Qing seemed to be deaf and refused to answer at all.

Lin Yue then asked again.

Xu Qing finally made some movement this time, she flicked her sleeves, stood up slowly, and staggered towards those stone houses.

Lin Yue's legs were still weak, and he couldn't get up, so he could only yell at his back: "Hey, since you are sick, you should find a doctor to treat it."

Xu Qing's feet were slightly stagnant, and after coughing a few times, she suddenly turned her head.

"Anyway, no one can die, so what difference does it make if it is cured or not? Besides..." His face was pale and pale, his eyes were faintly mocking, and his voice was extremely hoarse. "It's better to die than to be clean."

After saying that, he raised his hand, stumbled into the room, and slammed the door with a "bang".

Lin Yue's heart was shaken by the sound of closing the door. He knew that the "water ghost" was terrible, but he couldn't help but think about him.What kind of poison did he think?Wondering if he was sick when he was alone in the house?Thinking about how he has such a cold temperament, how did he become the leader's male favourite?think……

After much deliberation, it was not until the sun was about to set that he reluctantly left the woods.

In the next few days, Lin Yue still got up early to sweep the floor every day, looking around for his father's whereabouts, but the figure of Xu Qing appeared in his mind over and over again.As a result, he hadn't found the dungeon yet, but he went to the woods over and over again.

Almost every time she went there, Xu Qing was soaked in the cold pool, her face was cold and ghostly.

Although Lin Yue felt scared, he couldn't help but get close to him. Even if it caused countless eyes, he insisted on talking to him a few words before giving up.

After several times like this, Xu Qing couldn't be entangled by him, even though her face was full of displeasure, she would occasionally respond with a few words.

One day the weather was very good, after Lin Yue wandered around, he came to the woods to pester people again.Just as Xu Qing stood up from the water, she lazily put on her clothes and asked, "Aren't you a sweeper? Why are you running here all day? You don't need to work?"

Lin Yue blinked, raised the broom vigorously in his hand, and responded naturally: "Sweeping the floor next to the rockery is also sweeping, and sweeping the floor here is also sweeping, what does it matter? Besides, this place is usually not visited by anyone, so it should be cleaned well, otherwise What do you look like when you are a beautiful woman sitting in the garbage dump?"

After sweeping the floor in the Devil's Cult for a month, he got used to it naturally, and even made up a random scripture on sweeping the floor, and said it clearly, with an extremely serious expression.

Xu Qing was almost amused by him when she heard this, and finally managed to keep her face straight, and said calmly: "If you are not afraid of death, just continue to sweep."

"I've already inquired about it. The leader has been practicing in closed doors recently, and he hasn't shown up for a long time, so he can't take my life for the time being." As he spoke, he lifted the broom in his hand a little higher, and secretly stared at it through the broom handle. Xu Qing looked at it, and whispered: "Also, even if there is any danger, I will still come to see you."

Although the man in front of him was handsome, his face was as pale as a ghost, very scary.In addition, he coughs violently at every turn and jumps into the water to soak in it from time to time, which is really no different from a ghost.

But Lin Yue didn't know what was wrong with him, he just thought about him all the time, and felt bored and flustered if he didn't see him for a day.Seeing that he didn't respond to his words at this time, he just touched his nose with a wry smile and said to himself: "I heard that everyone who has met you has a dead end, but I have survived until now. I am really lucky. Master Your lord is so jealous, you don’t even let others see you, you must be very fond of you, right? You, do you... like him too?"

After finishing the words, she stared straight at Xu Qing, her eyes were black and bright, afraid that he would not answer again.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing's reaction this time was surprisingly big, her already pale face became more and more gloomy, her body trembled slightly, her eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and the chill was pressing.

"How is it possible? I have always hated him to the bone." While speaking, he panted lightly, suppressed the coughing, and gritted his teeth: "I wish I could kill him with one knife."
