Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

When Gu Huai regained consciousness again, he felt his body was tightly wrapped by something soft and cool, and a voice beside him anxiously called his name.

"Erqing...don't make trouble..." He murmured subconsciously.

The noisy voice was still chattering in his ears, disturbing him: "Zihong, Gu Zihong, Gu Zihong, wake up!"

Gu Huai reluctantly opened his eyes and found that he was tied to a thick tree.

There are circles of emerald green vines wrapped around his body, tightly hooping him.Gu Huai struggled a bit, but the vine entangled him even tighter, making him almost out of breath.

Gu Huai looked down at the vines on his body in a daze. He thought it was Er Qing who was entangled with him, but he forgot that Er Qing had already left him.

"Zihong, you finally woke up!"

Gu Huai followed the voice and found a white-faced scholar tied up less than five meters away from him, and that scholar was Ning Caichen.

Gu Huai was startled, and asked Ning Caichen, "Brother Ning, what's going on?"

Ning Caichen sighed heavily, and said: "It's a long story, you and I were hijacked here by a thousand-year-old female devil, looking at the surrounding scene, I'm afraid we are in danger."

Gu Huai looked around and found a bunch of towering trees sparsely growing here, and a man was tied to each tree.Those men were all haggard and skinny, with their heads drooping and motionless, and some of them even had only a skeleton left.

"They were all drained of energy and died. It should be our turn next," Ning Caichen said with a wry smile, "It's a pity that I, Ning, is young and talented. To obtain fame, you will end up tragically dying at the mouth of a banshee..."

"Where's Nie Xiaoqian?" Gu Huai suddenly remembered something and asked.

Ning Caichen was stunned, and asked in astonishment: "How do you know about Xiaoqian?"

Gu Huai looked at him steadfastly, without answering.

"Xiaoqian is a good girl. Last night she persuaded me to leave this wrong place, but before I finished speaking, an evil woman broke in and kidnapped me here."

Gu Huai lowered his eyes. From this point of view, the person who bound him and Ning Caichen should be the woman called "Grandma" last night.This "grandmother" should be a difficult monster to deal with, and they have to find a way to escape quickly.

When he was in a trance, a purple smoke rose in front of him, and the "grandmother" came lightly and appeared in front of them.

Ning Caichen shouted excitedly: "Where is Xiaoqian, what have you done to Xiaoqian?"

"Grandma" sneered, and said, "You ask that bitch? Hmph, after I captured her, she was roasted on the real fire of Samadhi, and she was already wiped out, hahahahaha."

Ning Caichen stared blankly at the woman laughing wildly in front of him. Suddenly, he let out an angry roar, struggling desperately to break free from the shackles of the vines.

"Female devil, you must die!"

"Grandma" flew to Ning Caichen, raised his hand and slapped him heavily on the ear.Ning Caichen's right face suddenly swelled up, and the sharp nails cut through the delicate skin, and blood slid down his face and dripped to the ground.

After all, Ning Caichen was also a frail scholar. After being slapped by the banshee, gold stars appeared in front of his eyes in an instant, and he hung his head and passed out.

"Don't touch him!" Seeing the banshee hurting Ning Caichen, Gu Huai stopped him in horror and anger.

The banshee slowly turned her head to look at Gu Huai, her bright red lips curled up, revealing a bewitching smile.

"Why, he scolded me and didn't allow me to fight back?"

The banshee put on a soft tone, the voice was numb, as if countless feathers were stirring in Gu Huai's heart, he trembled and got goosebumps on his back.

The banshee couldn't help covering her face and laughing when she saw Gu Huai's miserable appearance.I saw his pair of dark eyes staring at her vigilantly, his slender body tied to a tree trembled invisibly, like a small sika deer that had nowhere to escape when he was hunting.

Even though he was so frightened, he still clenched his fists, straightened his neck, looked directly at her with a sliver of courage squeezed from the bottom of his heart, and scolded her not to hurt Ning Caichen.

This appearance is so cute... The banshee licked her lips, and a feeling of pity rose in her heart, making her want to treat the man in front of her tenderly.

"Are you afraid of me?" At some point, the banshee moved in front of Gu Huai, raised his chin with her long nails, and looked at him playfully.

"No." A drop of cold sweat rolled down the corner of Gu Huai's forehead, and he stared at the banshee's dark red eyes without blinking.

"Then... would you like to perform Zhougong's ceremony with me?"

Hearing this, Gu Huai's fair face turned red. He looked at the banshee with shame and indignation, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill if you want, don't insult people like this!"

The banshee's face darkened in an instant, she slammed Gu Huai's head down, and said sternly, "You don't have to drink a toast."

With a wave of her long sleeves, the vines that were originally entangled with Gu Huai squirmed, and a limp tentacles reached out to Gu Huai's mouth, pried open his lips and teeth, and rushed straight into his throat.

Another tentacle penetrates his collar...

Gu Huai's head exploded with a "boom", his eyes turned red with anger, and the vine in his throat made him nauseated, he bit it down hard without thinking.

With a sound of "Puff," the vine burst in Gu Huai's mouth, spraying his mouth with scarlet juice, which slowly dripped down from the corner of his mouth along his jaw like blood.

Gu Huai's mouth was as sweet as blood, with a faint fragrance of flowers and fruits.Part of the juice slid down the throat into the lungs.

Gu Huai's consciousness began to blur again, and a dilapidated brick bungalow appeared in front of his eyes, surrounded by smoke.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and the house in front of him seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Gu Huai stretched out his hand and lightly touched the mottled red-painted iron door. In an instant, a crushing pain hit the sky and covered the sky.Gu Huai staggered and took two steps back, doubts arose in his heart.

What exactly is going on?What is hidden in the door?

There is an answer in his heart that is ready to come out, Gu Huai has a hunch that as long as he opens this door, a box that has been buried in his heart for more than ten years will be opened.

He took a deep breath and pushed open the iron door firmly but slowly.

The iron gate made a gloomy and strange sound of "crack-crack-crack", and slowly opened its eerie big mouth, a bloody and cruel picture slowly appeared in front of Gu Huai.

There was a dazzling red in front of his eyes, which made him dizzy and unable to stand steadily.

There was blood all over the floor, stumps, and three corpses with grim expressions.

A man with his back turned slowly turned around, his facial features were shrouded in a cloud of shadows, Gu Huai could faintly see his lips curled up, revealing a weird and cruel smile.His clothes were stained red with blood, and he was holding a kitchen knife, stained with brown sticky blood.

Gu Huai's pupils shrank suddenly, and huge information filled his brain, squeezing his whole body to the point of bursting.

He remembered—

It was the day when he was seven years old.He bid farewell to his friends excitedly, and hopped home with a small schoolbag on his back. When he opened the door, he saw the horrific three corpses of his parents and younger sister.

At that time, the murderer hadn't left yet, when he saw Gu Huai coming home from school, he gave him a weird smile.

The young Gu Huai screamed in fright and passed out on the ground.

After waking up, he didn't remember anything, he forgot that he had a relative, he forgot the tragic death of his relative, he forgot the smile of the man who killed his whole family, he forgot everything about his past...

He only knew that his name was Gu Huai, he had no father or mother, and he grew up in an orphanage.

Now, he remembered, he remembered everything.

Gu Huai frantically pounced on the three corpses on the ground, but just as he was about to touch them, everything in front of him shattered and turned into a pure white space.

Gu Huai knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down his face, weeping irrationally and terribly.

In a trance, a figure appeared in front of him.The man had gentle eyebrows, wore an oil-stained apron, and smiled at him with his eyes bent into crescents, and stretched out a hand to him.

"Huaihuai."

It's the face in his memory, it's also the voice in his memory, it's the one in his memory...

"Mom..." Gu Huai cried out in tears, got up and rushed towards the figure, like when he was a child, he threw himself into the man's arms.

"Huaihuai, don't cry." The woman's generous palms patted Gu Huai's back lightly, and Gu Huai's whole head sank into her embrace, crying twitching.

"Gu Huai." The voice above his head suddenly changed to a thick and deep male voice, Gu Huai raised his head in surprise, and it was Lan Yuyan's handsome and flamboyant face that caught his eyes.

In Gu Huai's mind, the image of Lan Yuyan holding him in her arms and kissing him a few days ago involuntarily appeared in Gu Huai's mind. At that time, he also stuck his tongue in...

Lan Yuyan suddenly leaned in front of him, so close that Gu Huai could even feel the warmth of the other person's breath when he spoke.

"I want to kiss you," he said.

Gu Huai was dizzy for a while, and there were still wet tears on his face, but he nodded involuntarily as if he had been bewitched.

Lan Yuyan chuckled and kissed Gu Huai's lips...

Gu Huai closed his eyes, tears wet his eyelashes, and slid down his cheeks...

Just when the lips of the two were about to stick together, there was a loud shout from behind, a golden light flashed in front of them, and then, Gu Huai was pulled into a firm and generous embrace.

The man put his arms around Gu Huai's waist, turned twice in the air, and landed firmly on the ground.

Gu Huai looked up in puzzlement, and found that the person was Yan Chixia whom he had met in Lanruo Temple.

As for the "Sapphire Smoke" just now, its shell shattered little by little, turning into a dark red banshee.

The banshee spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed at Yan Chixia, gritted her teeth and said, "Smelly Taoist priest, spoil my good deeds!"

Yan Chixia ignored her, turned around and pressed Gu Huai's shoulders, and said to him: "Brother Zihong, you just got an illusion, and that monster will use illusion to awaken the things people don't want to face in their hearts, so as to control others." The purpose is really despicable. Are you...are you injured?"

Gu Huai shook his head wearily.

The author has something to say:

Hmm, I was wondering if you bullied Shoujun too badly...Well, Yan Chixia is really a straight man...The next chapter temporarily switches to the offensive perspective
