Night Tales

The author has something to say: Don't think that what I write is about the harem, I definitely don't open the harem! !

As night fell, those spirit bandits turned into the depths of the forest and settled down.Luo Ying and Lu Chengxi hid not far away, looking at the outfits of this group of people.There were ten people in total, and their clothes were similar to those of the previous big men. Luo Ying guessed that they might be from the same village.

Several people got off their horses, and the person who was running in front also came back.Several people began to divide the work.Some people went to fetch water, some made fire, two big men came to the carriage and opened the barrels one by one, one of them said: "It stinks, it smells like excrement and urine."

Another said: "It's been two days, and everything has been pulled out of the bucket. They pulled out the women in the bucket one by one and made them kneel on the ground. Those women's eyes and mouths were covered with cloth. A big man threatened: "Now, I will untie the things on your mouths. First of all, this is the wilderness, and no one will come to rescue you if you yell out your throat. Secondly, if anyone wants to shout dishonestly, I will cut off her tongue.If anyone kills himself by biting his tongue, Lao Tzu's hemostatic medicine is effective, it can seal your mouth and make you starve for a few days before you die.Do you know everything? "

"Hmmmm..." The women nodded desperately.The big man began to untie the cloth from their mouths.Afterwards, he pulled a beautiful and enchanting girl to the leader and said, "Boss, I'll do it first."

"Go, take it easy, there will be a good show soon."

"Understood." The big man said, picked up the woman and left.

"Master, take it easy," the woman said.The big man laughed and said: "This girl is interesting, don't worry, the uncle will love you very much." After saying that, the two turned to the back of a big tree.

Seeing this, Luo Ying was about to stand up and rush up, but was grabbed by Lu Chengxi: "What are you doing?" Lu Chengxi roared softly.

"Save people!"

"Do you want to bleed again?"

"Then what do you say?"

Lu Chengxi looked up at the surrounding environment, and patted her on the shoulder to signal her to be calm.This is a primitive mountain forest with thick and lush trees overhead, which is very easy for Tibetans.It's windy tonight, the moon appears and disappears, and it is estimated that it will rain.There was a dead body hanging from a big tree not far from the carriage.Lu Chengxi sat down, took out a pair of gloves made of special material and put them on, took out another package, opened it for Luo Ying to see, it turned out to be a stack of 1000 taels of silver bills.Luo Ying opened her mouth wide, this young master is really rich, and he carries a lot of money with him.

Lu Chengxi put the money into his arms again, and quietly climbed up the tree.Go to the campfire.Luo Ying was worried that he was not very good at martial arts, and if he approached them, he would definitely be noticed.But he has always been cautious in doing things, and I am afraid that he will not make such a mistake.

Lu Chengxi hid his breath, quietly landed on the big tree where the dead man was hanging, and leaned over.Those spirit bandits are already very close.Luo Ying vaguely watched his movements from a distance, her heart rose to her throat, her hands and feet were numb, and she squatted there blankly.

Lu Chengxi bent down and quietly pulled up the rope.After some length, he hid his body behind the trunk and continued to pull.Until the corpse was pulled up to the tree, Lu Chengxi quietly carried it up the tree.It was the corpse of a man who had been dead for a long time, and only the bones remained, but he was wearing winter clothes, of good material, so that the skeleton was wrapped in the clothes.Lu Chengxi was careful not to touch the corpse.He took out the banknote from his pocket, put half of it into the corpse's pocket, and left half outside.After it was done, he quietly put down the corpse and touched it back.Seeing Lu Chengxi who returned intact, Luo Ying really had the urge to rush forward and hug him.Lu Chengxi threw away the gloves and said quietly: "It's going to rain, let's find a place to hide from the rain and come back tomorrow morning."

"why?"

"Don't ask, let's go."

Lu Chengxi pulled her, and the two found a cave and hid in it.Lu Chengxi lit the fire, took out some dried meat, and gave it to Luo Ying to eat.

Luo Ying shook her head and said, "I can't eat it."

"I heard that Fei'er was scared to death, how is it now?"

"It's much better. I can already talk slowly. You have friendship with my father. Do you know what kind of person he is usually? ?

"I don't have a deep friendship with him, but he still regards me as a friend. It's closer to you."

"Then do you know what my dad is studying? Did your two friends tell you?"

"Don't you already know what your father is researching, otherwise you wouldn't have come all the way to this place of innocence."

Luo Ying paused, and said: "I always thought that my father was a great hero. In Qianmen Mountain, he once blocked the attack of a hundred thousand demon army. If it wasn't for Emperor Qing, the demon army wouldn't even be able to climb the mountain." Come. I have always regarded him as a mountain of admiration, but..."

"Your father has a righteous heart and is a well-deserved hero. He usually teaches you from the bottom of his heart. No matter what he does in the future, he can't cover up his past glory. Everyone will be controlled by his own heart. Demons are disturbing, but some people can overcome it, and some people will be swallowed by the demons."

"Do you have inner demons too?" Luo Ying always thought that Lu Chengxi was the kind of sunshine boy who grew up in the sun and didn't know what sorrow was.

"I've been plagued by demons for years."

"Then what is your demon?"

Lu Chengxi glanced at her, and said playfully, "Secret."

"Cut." Luo Ying cast a contemptuous glance at him, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. She knew nothing about this person she fell in love with when she was young, and he was unwilling to let herself understand him.

"So you want to do something, and hope that there won't be so many poor people in this world?" Lu Chengxi said again.

Sitting by the campfire, Luo Ying hugged her knees with her hands, and sighed, "These girls will be tortured again tonight."

"Let them be wronged for one night. You should eat something at least, and you are still in good health, so don't treat yourself badly."

Luo Ying still shook her head.Lu Chengxi leaned in front of her and fed a piece of dried meat to her mouth. Luo Ying blamed him for being frivolous and refused to eat it. Lu Chengxi said: "If you break your body, I will inevitably have to take care of you again in this wilderness. Sometimes there are some intimate moves, and you definitely can't refuse."

When Luo Ying heard about it, she snatched the jerky from him and started eating it.Lu Chengxi smiled and handed over the water bottle and said, "Slow down, drink some water."

After the bandits finished their dinner, the leader looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain, let's set up a tent under the tree."

As soon as the subordinates agreed, they began to get busy.Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, and a few pieces of banknotes floated down from the tree and were caught by one person. "Boss, boss, here are the banknotes." The man looked up, and there was a dead body hanging from the big tree above his head, and banknotes kept falling from the corpse.Fly with the wind.When the rest of the people saw it, they all went to Fengzhong to pick up the bank notes.The leader stopped and said: "Stop it all, the origin of these banknotes is unknown."

"It fell from that body, no one else."

"If it fell from that corpse, why didn't the person who hanged him take the bank note away?"

"Perhaps suicide?"

"Fart!" The leader scolded, "These are bank notes from the Mortal Realm, what use are we using them?"

"Boss, silver bills are different, but gold and silver are the same. Why don't we take the money and go to the bank to exchange it for silver? See, it's all true." Yiluo said.With so much money, it is impossible for people not to be tempted. The leader ordered: "Go around the neighborhood and see if there is an ambush." ​​Those people took orders and went.The remaining two people stood in place, but they all glanced at the bills flying in the air.

"Boss, if you don't pick up the money, fly away."

The leader glanced at him, wanted to get angry, and scolded him for not knowing how to live or die. In the end, greed overcame reason, suppressed the swear words, and said in a deep voice, "Go and pick it up."

A few people patrolled around, and there was nothing abnormal. The remaining two also picked up all the bank notes and handed them to the leader. Eyes are straight.One of them held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Boss..."

"how?"

"You alone...you can't spend that much money."

The leader glanced at him, took out the money again, threw half of it in front of him, and said: "You guys divide it." After saying that, he went into the tent.

The rest of the people divided the money in a hurry, and also got into the tent.

"What about those women?"

"This tree is so big, it can't get rain."

"Tell me, with so much money, you can eat and drink for the rest of your life, and you can raise a few wives."

"Haha, those women in our night realm are all as tough as men, and they are still girls in the mortal realm."

"Then you also gave birth to a spirit slave son?"

"Then eat him again!"

"Hahahahaha..."

On the second day, when the sky was light, Luo Ying and Lu Chengxi arrived at the spirit bandit. At this time, only the dozen or so women were tied up under the tree and could not move.Lu Chengxi went to the tent and opened the curtain. The leader lay there with his eyes slanted, his hands rotten and emitting an unpleasant stench.Lu Chengxi sighed heavily, stepped forward, put on his gloves, and searched out the bank notes on him.I went to another tent, and there was a lot of corpses inside. Some had rotten mouths, some had rotten hands, and the body of a man who put banknotes on his flesh was also rotten.Just as Lu Chengxi picked up the banknotes and came out, a woman rushed in, picked up a knife, and slashed wildly at the group of people.Terrified, Lu Chengxi rushed to Luo Ying, who was helping them untie the rope.The second girl who was untied rushed towards a big tree as soon as she was free, and Lu Chengxi grabbed her.

"Let me go!" the woman roared, about to bite him.Lu Chengxi stretched out his other hand to hold her head, and persuaded: "It's not your fault that you were bullied, why do you want to die?"

"Let me go, what face do I have to live in this world?"

Seeing this, Luo Ying didn't dare to untie another one, and only released their eyes.

"Help me untie it, I won't seek death." Luo Ying looked at that person, it was the woman who took the initiative to have sex with the spirit bandit.Luo Ying walked over, saw that she was quite charming, and released her.The rest of the people also said: "I will not seek death, girl, please help me untie it."

Luo Ying explained to them one by one.

Lu Chengxi persuaded the woman again: "You see that no one else is looking for death, so you deserve to die more than others?"

The woman's side gradually stopped.The woman in the tent had vented enough and came out covered in blood.

"Let's take you home!" Luo Ying said.

"Miss, can you let us cleanse ourselves first, we... haven't been free for three days." The enchanting woman said.

Only now did Luo Ying notice the faint smell in the air.

"There is a river behind, you go there to wash."

Luo Ying led the girls to the river, and Lu Chengxi automatically walked behind a tree to avoid it.While they were taking a bath, Luo Ying made a few simple hangers and built a fire for them to dry their clothes.After everything was done, the girls also went ashore and baked their own clothes. Luo Ying walked under the tree. At this time, he was sitting on the grass, pouring wine desperately.

"What's the matter, you're in a bad mood after drinking in broad daylight?" Luo Ying sat beside him and asked.

Would you be in a good mood if you killed your own clan for a few mortals?But Lu Chengxi didn't say anything, remembering that she also killed a few mortals to save those night girls, and asked, "Why did you save those spirits?"

"Are you angry about this? So you are so stingy!"

I'm stingy?Well, I'm stingy.

"Actually, I'm not afraid of you calling me a traitor. In my opinion, the mortal world owes the night realm. Even if we don't talk about the grievances of thousands of years ago, we only talk about this night battle. I don't know what the reason is, For tens of thousands of years, the world has never invaded any race. For a child, they will not hesitate to use millions of troops. Most of those people are temporarily recruited peasants. One million people just like this turn into dust. Where there is chaos in the country, it is not a retribution. What's more, I don't have any grudges with those Spirit Race girls. Seeing injustice, I drew my sword to help, this is..." Luo Ying's tone suddenly became serious: "My father taught me this."

Lu Chengxi turned his head to stare at her, his eyes that were originally blurred by drunkenness were now sparkling.As if he had discovered a new life, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.Luo Ying felt a little uncomfortable under the scorching gaze, so she turned her face away.

"Aying, with your words, I can go through fire and water for you."

"Uh... what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I think I like you more and more."

"Shut up!" Luo Ying scolded softly, "I'm someone else's (separated) wife right now, so I won't allow you to tease me again and again."

"Okay, okay, I surrender, let's not talk. Look at the girls, are they okay? I'm about to be bitten to death by the mosquitoes here."

Lu Chengxi chased her away, raised his head and drank a full stomach of wine, Luo Ying wanted to stop him, but felt that he was already such a grown-up person, no one needed to whisper these small things in his ear, so he gave up.

At this moment, the sun was gradually rising, and a few beams of sunlight fell on Luo Ying's young body, vigor and health.Lu Chengxi looked at her leaving back, and something was heating up in his heart.Immediately afterwards, a sense of loss permeated the entire chest.

Mortal, he actually fell in love with a mortal!

After more than half an hour, the girls dried their clothes.Luo Ying asked where they were going.Everyone said they escaped from the famine, some were separated from their families; some were thrown away by their parents; some were simply sold to spirit bandits.Those who were separated from their families were willing to go to their families; others were left homeless.Luo Ying had no choice but to suggest making plans while walking back.They packed some food and utensils left by the bandits, packed a carriage, Luo Ying drove the girls, and Lu Chengxi rode a horse to explore the road ahead.As we walked, a group of people chatted.A girl said: "Thank you for saving my life, I don't know her name?"

"Luo Ying, his name is Lu Chengxi. What are the names of the girls, let me introduce them one by one."

The girls said their own things, and Luo Ying made a rough note, but Luo Ying was deeply impressed by the enchanting woman named Qi Shuangya.The girl said again: "The girl is really happy to have such a handsome and loving husband."

"He is not my husband." Luo Ying explained.

"Oh! I am talking too much."

"Dogs and men and women." Someone muttered something in a low voice, but Luo Ying heard it, and so did the others.They all looked at the man silently.Luo Ying held the rein in his hand for a moment, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't turn around to confirm who that person was, and said for a long time: "We are not dogs and men. Nothing happened to us. If it wasn't for him, you would be afraid It's nightfall."

One of them was busy trying to smooth things over: "Young girl is a heroic and courageous person, she is upright and aboveboard, how can she look like someone who doesn't love herself?"

Luo Ying didn't speak anymore, she had shed two lines of tears, how could she speak another word.

After walking for a day, they came out of the small road and gradually saw people. Lu Chengxi was originally riding a horse alone, and Luo Ying was driving a cart.At this moment, seeing that the driver's seat in front of him was spacious, he got on the horse hitched cart and sat next to Luo Ying. Luo Ying wanted to drive him away, but felt that there was no reason.Let him stay here, and when he becomes frivolous for a while, there will be so many people watching.Turning her head to look at him, her expression was lazy and her eyes were loose, as if she was recalling something far away.

Luo Ying always felt that when Lu Chengxi was quiet, there was always this decadent aura about him.Perhaps it is true as he said, everyone has his own inner demon, so what is his inner demon?

"Where is your home? I can send you back."

"We are a family fleeing from Shecheng to Jinshui. We were stopped on the way, and my parents and brothers were killed by them."

"I also fled to Jinshui."

Everyone talked about it, most of them were going to Jinshui.Luo Ying speeded up and drove towards Jinshui.

The gates of Jinshui City are under martial law, preventing any refugees from entering.The tents outside the city gate stretched for five or six miles, blocking the city gate completely.Finding someone is now difficult.Lu Chengxi said to those girls: "We have fulfilled our responsibilities, and we don't have the ability to settle you down anymore. Take care of yourself."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, only one young lady who looked like a rich family bowed to them, and said: "The two young girls are so kind and virtuous. Dare I ask where your benefactors live?" When I find my father, I can give him a thank you gift."

"We don't lack that little money, and you don't need to know where I live." Seeing that Lu Chengxi's words were not good, the young lady didn't say any more, and secretly said to Luo Ying: "I think this young master's bad mood is probably because of the young lady. Young master I have love and righteousness for you, so don't let me down." Luo Ying forced a smile and sent her away.

Lu Chengxi looked at the girl named Qi Shuangya and said: "You don't look like you have no money, why don't you leave?" Lu Chengxi just looked at her and knew that she was a prostitute, and since she was living outside, she must be homeless .

Qi Shuangya didn't show any sadness, and said as expected: "My family was originally a brothel girl. Because of the war in Shecheng, my mother sent us away. Now there is no home to go back to." Luo Ying only knew her from the brothel girl Being entangled with Lu Chengxi makes me feel uncomfortable.Lu Chengxi said: "You are homeless, so where can I go? Follow us and let us raise you?"

Seeing that there was a clear tendency to drive people away, those women all knelt down and begged: "My lord is so benevolent and righteous, please be pitiful, if you let us go now, maybe you will be arrested by spirit bandits again tomorrow, your merit will be in vain. "

"What kind of merit do I want, and I don't believe in gods. Even if you kneel down here, it will have nothing to do with me tomorrow." The girls couldn't persuade Lu Chengxi, and walked to Luo Ying on their knees, tugging at her sleeve and saying: "Woman Xia Gu Dao is warm-hearted, please save us, we are willing to do our best for the heroine."

"Axi..." Luo Ying called out.Lu Chengxi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I have an idea, but you must not agree."

"What idea."

"Let them lie down and live."

"What do you mean?"

"Look here, there are a few good-looking ones here. I also built a brothel to raise the girls, so that they have a place to live and a means of making a living."

"I really don't agree."

"Think about it, this girl..." She pointed at Qi Shuangya and said, "She was born in a brothel, she was displaced, and lost her original place, she is like a lamb at the mercy of others. Isn't that what the brothel Chuguan said to them? Is it an excellent refuge?"

"They just came out of the wolf's den, but they're going to go into the tiger's den."

"You think my place is a tiger's den?"

"I just……"

"It doesn't matter what you say, it's fine if they say it." Lu Chengxi said to the crowd again: "I treat girls kindly in a certain way, and if you follow me, I can guarantee that you will not be bullied by people outside. Troubled times are your misfortune, but since people are alive, they must have something to live on. I will give you a place of safety. If you have talents, you don’t have to serve men. Think carefully, follow I'm leaving, but I'm still here in fear. I don't know what you know about the Spirit Bandit Village, but I can assure you that it will definitely be ten times worse than the situation in the past few days. Look over there, the officers and soldiers are burning the corpses. I'm afraid the plague is already here It’s spreading everywhere. Go or stay, I won’t force you.”

"I agree." Qi Shuangya said on the spot.The others whispered, undecided.Lu Chengxi said: "Let's go eat something, we'll set up a tent here tonight, and follow me tomorrow if you agree." Lu Chengxi turned to Luo Ying and said, "If you agree, I won't do it." Luo Ying gave him a hard look , helped those girls up.
