flagship summer song

In the middle of the night, the city gate of Beize was still wide open. Chen Yao and the owner of Taozhuang looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong, and led the horse slowly into the city.

Both of them smelled a stench, and although there was no food in their stomachs, they were also overwhelmed.

The street was quiet and windless, but a bamboo basket rolled over and stopped in front of them. The two felt strange. Chen Yao held the sword in the umbrella behind him, and Master Tao also quietly held the soft whip at his waist.

"Be careful behind you!" The owner of Taozhuang suddenly yelled, and the soft whip hit him behind him.

Chen Yao heard the shout, and before he turned his head, he heard a "ding" ringing behind him, something fell on the ground, and when he looked back, it was another water ghost with a silver dagger nailed to his forehead , a piece of talisman was inserted into the blade, slowly sucking the water ghost in.

There are two silver bells at the end of the handle.

Xu Xiaoxian jumped down from the top of the nearby building, didn't look at the two people, just bent down and picked up the dagger, took off the talisman paper, waved it between his fingers and ignited it, and it burned up in an instant.

Holding the dagger in his hand, he looked back at the two people who came down from the horse, with indifferent eyes, and asked gloomily, "Why is Mr. Chen back?"

Chen Yao glanced at the owner of Taozhuang, shrugged, and said: "I walked south, and I don't know how I followed Taozhuang to come here. You called Taozhuang, right?"

"Peach! Zhuang! Master!"

"It was getting dark, and I couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. I walked forward when I saw the road. I didn't know it was so easy to get to Beize."

Xu Xiaoxian was so angry that the gardenia girl floated out from his hair and fell to the ground. Chen Yao felt strange, and reached out to touch the little gardenia lamp on Xu Xiaoxian's hair, and Xu Xiaoxian opened it.

Chen Yao withdrew his hand and asked, "How did the gardenia lamp become so small?"

Zhinu: "The half-immortal thinks the lamp is too eye-catching, so let me make it smaller."

Taozhuang owner: "When did you come here? Why is it so quiet here?"

Xu Xiaoxian frowned and looked at the street, then looked at the two horses, and said, "Just now, just like the previous village, this place was also swept away by ghosts, but someone was victimized here, do you smell it?"

The two nodded, only Zhinu didn't smell the strange smell.

"Strange," Xu Xiaoxian walked up to a horse, stroked the horse's head, turned around and asked Chen Yao and Taozhuang Master, "Did your horse not go crazy on the way here?"

The two immediately remembered the horse that had drawn them to the small village that night, and the two horses seemed to be unaffected.

"The black donkey is not affected either. Look, it is grazing there." Zhinu pointed to a stable not far away, where a dark shadow was chewing hay in peace in the trough.

Xu Xiaoxian patted the two horses and let them go find food by themselves.

Xu Xiaoxian: "I want to go to Song's house to have a look first. I don't know how Mr. Song is doing. I hope I'm not late. Do you have any plans?"

The owner of Taozhuang thought for a while and said, "I'll go home and have a look."

"What about you?" Xu Xiaoxian was not worried about Taozhuang Master, but turned to ask Chen Yao: "Do you have any relatives or friends here?"

Chen Yao shook his head and said, "I'll go with you to see Mr. Song."

"Then let's go." Xu Xiaoxian took out two safety charms from his sleeve, handed them to the owner of Taozhuang, and said, "One is for you, and the other is for you to see."

The owner of Taozhuang frowned, accepted it, but didn't take it seriously, jumped up, jumped onto the house, and disappeared after a while.

Chen Yao walked up to Xu Xiaoxian and asked, "Why two?"

Xu Xiaoxian smiled and said: "I think he is about to meet his destined person, so prepare for him first."

"At this time, the half-immortal still has leisure time to count marriages for others."

"Peach Blossom Lord's peach blossoms are all on his face. I don't want to count it. Unlike Mr. Chen, Xiaoxian can't see where your peach blossoms are."

"Half Immortal is going to run on me when he gets the chance?"

Xu Xiaoxian laughed and said, "Don't dare."

Zhinu floated among them and interjected, "Stop bickering, hurry up and find someone!"

The two of them, together with a ghost, then rushed towards the Song residence. The Song residence was located in the southeast of the city, close to the mouth of the sea. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Song residence, they smelled a fishy smell of the sea, mixed with blood, and Xu Xiaoxian frowned. Frowning, he pushed open the door, only to see a person lying down on the stone steps, with some blood on his forehead, and a few little ghosts floating in the center of the courtyard, as soon as they saw people coming, they immediately came up to bite them.

Xu Xiaoxian didn't look at these ghostly things, and ran directly to the front of the steps to help him up, and recognized that this person was Song Yu by the faint moonlight, sniffed his breath, but luckily just passed out.

Zhinu raised her hand, and three or four streams of smoke came out of her wide cuffs like snakes, and rushed towards the little ghosts, entangled in the air, and the smoke bound the little ghosts tightly like a hemp rope.

Xu Xiaoxian carried Song Yu on the bed, asked Chen Yao to heal Song Yu, and ran to check the rooms in the courtyard. Zhinu wanted to follow, but Xu Xiaoxian drove him back to Song Yu's room.

"Miss Zhi, take good care of Mr. Chen."

Song Yu had no external injuries, only a little skin on his forehead, and Chen Yao had already bandaged him.

Zhi Nu drifted over and asked, "Why didn't he wake up?"

"I've been hungry for a few days, and I have nothing to eat. I'll feed him some rice soup in a while, and he will wake up naturally when he has strength," Chen Yao covered Song Yu with a quilt, and rummaged around in the room. Zhinu asked What was he looking for? He said: "Rice, noodles, beans, or anything else that can be eaten, and a pot. I have to cook something for him. If he doesn't eat it, I guess he didn't eat it. I have to eat it myself." Starve to death first."

Zhi Nu followed Chen Yao to rummage around in the room, but there was nothing inside or outside that could be eaten.

"Wait a minute," Chen Yao patted his head, thought for a while, and said, "If there is something to eat here, how come Mr. Song hasn't eaten for so many days? Is it because there is no food here, so Mr. Song Are you going to faint here?"

"Yes," Xu Xiaoxian walked in from the door and said, "There is really nothing to eat here, and there are no other people."

"How could it be? Why did Mr. Song's parents throw him here and escape by himself?"

"It's not necessarily running for your life, it's just that it's gone. Mr. Song has my safety talisman on him, and ordinary ghosts can't get close to him, so he stayed. You see, those little ghosts dare not touch him."

However, Chen Yao saw Zhi Nu walking back and forth on Song Yu's bed, seemingly unaffected.

Xu Xiaoxian scratched his head, and explained: "Miss Zhi has no malicious intentions, and the safety talisman doesn't work."

"Then what should we do now? If you don't eat, Mr. Song may not be able to survive the sunrise."

"As long as it's edible, right?"

"It's good that it's not poisonous... what did Banxian think of?"

Xu Xiaoxian pointed to an osmanthus tree in the yard outside the house. It was not yet autumn, but a few clusters of small beige flowers appeared on the branches, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

Xu Xiaoxian: "In ancient times, if the soldiers who fought on the battlefield were cut off from food and grass, they would eat all the leaves and grass roots. We will just get some flowers and leaves for Mr. Song to taste?"

"...All right." Chen Yao had no better way.

"Go and set up a pot in the yard, I'll pick the young leaves from the branches, and I'll give you this," Xu Xiaoxian rummaged in his cuff for a while, pinched out a piece of talisman paper, rolled it into a thin tube, and blew it lightly. He took a deep breath, handed it to Chen Yao, and said, "There is only one left, just blow on it when you light the fire later."

Chen Yao took the talisman paper tube, put it in his arms, brought a small iron pot from the house, wiped it clean with leaves, and found a few thick branches to set up the iron pot. Firewood was rolled up one by one and piled under the iron pot.

Chen Yao fetched a bucket of water from the well in the backyard. Thanks to Zhi Nu, the water looked very clear, and there were no water ghosts staying in it.

He filled the iron pot with water, blew on the firewood with the talisman paper tube Xu Xiaoxian gave him, then walked under the tree, looked up to see Xu Xiaoxian hugging the slender branches and picking the new leaves that grew from the top, he couldn't help worrying stand up.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, the water in the iron pot made a noise, the flames under the pot were almost blown out, Xu Xiaoxian seemed to have sand blown into his eyes, rubbed them with his hands, and only heard a click , the body fell down involuntarily.

"Xu Xuan!" Chen Yao knew that Xu Xiaoxian had fallen when he heard the crackling on the tree, so he quickly reached out to catch him before he landed, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

Zhi Nu drifted over and saw that the two of them were fine, but their heads and bodies were covered with branches and leaves, so they couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.

"Are you alright?" Xu Xiaoxian fell on Chen Yao and basically didn't feel any pain. Then he remembered that Chen Yao's back injury was just right, so he quickly helped Chen Yao up, reached out and touched his lower back, and asked, "Is there any injury?" arrive?"

"It's okay." Chen Yao fell a little painfully, but was not injured. Seeing Xu Xiaoxian's hair where a gardenia lamp was tied, a small sweet-scented osmanthus flower was caught, and he couldn't help laughing. A few leaves fell off, but the little flower did not move.

Xu Xiaoxian usually doesn't like people touching his hair, but just now he didn't open Chen Yao's hand for some reason, and seeing that Chen Yao was fine, he lowered his head to pick up the fallen leaves on the ground, picked up those young leaves, wiped them clean, and threw them into the pot inside.

"Can flowers be thrown in too?" Xu Xiaoxian pinched a small flower with his fingertips, put it in his mouth and chewed it, it was fragrant and sweet, and a little astringent.

"Whatever you want..." Seeing that he ate the flowers directly, Chen Yao frowned, but he really couldn't raise any objections. After all, osmanthus flowers are edible, and osmanthus cakes and stuffed osmanthus flowers are also made directly from osmanthus flowers. made.

Xu Xiaoxian felt that the flowers tasted good, and he always ate one or two before picking up some and throwing them away in the pot. He also asked Chen Yao if he wanted to eat them, but Chen Yao barely tasted them and stopped eating.

Chen Yao saw that there were enough osmanthus leaves in the pot, so he told Xu Xiaoxian not to pick it up. Xu Xiaoxian went to the pot and smelled it, and suddenly felt his appetite increased. Want something to eat?"

"It's ok... I don't think he can eat that much," Chen Yao brought a spoon and a bowl, Xu Xiaoxian took his silver knife and scraped a piece of bark off the osmanthus bark, and asked Chen Yao if he could throw it in.

Chen Yao's eyebrows twitched, and he always felt that he nodded at the beginning, and then it was hard to stop, but looking at Xu Xiaoxian's serious eyes, he couldn't hold back, nodded, and asked Xu Xiaoxian to throw the osmanthus bark into the pot In the leaf soup.

Xu Xiaoxian put the bark, ran into the house and brought two jars of porcelain, one jar was white and the other jar was black, Chen Yao tasted it, the white one was sea salt, the black one seemed to be made from ground sesame seeds. powder.

Chen Yao held the white can and said, "Put this one in, not the black one."

Xu Xiaoxian pouted, a little disappointed, but didn't force it. He took the can of sesame powder and dipped his fingers in it to eat. After a while, he felt that it wasn't good to just eat it, so he picked up the leaves and dipped it in.

"Half Immortal, are you a rabbit?" Chen Yao was really afraid that he would ruin his stomach. The osmanthus leaves were dry and hard, and he didn't know how Xu Xiaoxian could eat them.

"I belong to a dog," Xu Xiaoxian sat leaning on the trunk of the laurel tree, chewing a leaf, looked up at the faint moon in the night sky, and said, "I'm not like you young masters, I'm hungry and I can eat anything."

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and took out a bowl of leaf soup from the pot. He tasted it carefully, and the taste was not bad, so he brought it to Xu Xiaoxian and said, "Don't keep eating the raw ones, there are hot ones here. , be careful that it is hot, after a while, go serve it yourself, and I will take a bowl to Mr. Song."

Xu Xiaoxian nodded, but he didn't listen to Chen Yao's words at all, and quickly took a sip, which made his tongue numb from the heat, and fanned the wind while sticking out his tongue.

Chen Yao didn't bother to care about him anymore. He filled some young leaves, crushed them with a spoon, poured them into the soup, brought them into the house, and fed them to Song Yu when they were colder. Song Yu was unconscious and swallowed very slowly. He had no choice but to support the person a little bit, and poured it down with a spoon.

Feed a bowl here, and Xu Xiaoxian outside has almost finished the whole pot. If Zhinv hadn't reminded him that Chen Yao hadn't eaten yet, he might have forgotten to save some for Chen Yao.

Xu Xiaoxian leaned against the trunk of the osmanthus tree and fell asleep after eating. Chen Yao fed Song Yu, helped him to sleep again, took his pulse, and returned to the yard after confirming that nothing happened.

Zhinu floated over, pointed to the pot, and asked Chen Yao to eat something. After a busy night, he also felt a little hungry, so he filled a bowl and ate it.

He refilled the pot with water, added more firewood under the pot, and made the surroundings of the osmanthus tree warm. The night was getting dark, and the gardenia girl also felt tired, and turned into light smoke into the little gardenia lamp in Xu Xiaoxian's hair. inside.

Chen Yao went into the room, found two clothes, went back under the osmanthus tree, covered Xu Xiaoxian lightly with one, and draped the other over himself, sat beside Xu Xiaoxian, and fell asleep leaning on the osmanthus tree with his eyes closed.

A gust of wind blew, and an osmanthus flower fell from the branch, fell on his shoulder, rolled down the clothes, and fell into the soil.
