flagship summer song

Chapter 18 Determination

"Cough cough..." Xu Xiaoxian woke up, feeling uncomfortable in his throat, and coughed a few times.

Zhinu was awakened by him, but she dared not come out of the gardenia lamp. At this time, the sun had already risen to three poles.

Xu Xiaoxian frowned, took the coat in his hand, stood up, looked around, and asked, "Where is Mr. Chen?"

"Let's go see Mr. Song," Zhinu said lazily, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Xu Xiaoxian saw water boiling in the iron pot in front of him, with one or two sweet-scented osmanthus flowers floating on the surface of the water. The faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus was refreshing. He picked up a spoon, filled a small bowl, and blew it while walking towards the room.

Song Yu had already woken up, but he was still very weak. Seeing Xu Xiaoxian coming in, he was a little surprised. If Chen Yao hadn't stopped him, he would have jumped out of bed to meet Xu Xiaoxian.

"Mr. Song," Xu Xiaoxian walked to Song Yu's bed, bowed, and said, "Xiaoxian came late, and it was Xiaoxian's fault that you hurt your master. First, I will apologize to you."

"It's okay, it's fine if the half-immortal can come, but..." Song Yu glanced at Chen Yao, hesitant to speak.

Chen Yao lowered his head to pack up the medicine bowl, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Xiaoxian.

Xu Xiaoxian: "It's okay, Mr. Song, but it's okay to talk."

Song Yu took a deep breath and said, "Banxian, do you still remember when I told you that there were unclean things in my house in the bamboo forest? Yes, I didn't lie to you. Those things really existed in the well. In the water, there was a rumbling sound at night, and I told my parents, they didn’t believe me, they just said it was high tide, and the half-immortal gave me some talisman papers to ward off evil spirits, so I pasted them on the mouth of the well.”

Chen Yao frowned, and asked, "Didn't I see the talisman paper by the well?"

"My parents didn't believe these things, so they asked someone to tear them up the next day. After that, I didn't hear the sound in the water again at night, so I didn't care. Then one night, I just lay in bed and heard the sound from the yard. There were sparse voices, I got up to look, and guess what I saw—a female ghost! A female ghost with long hair and white clothes!"

Xu Xiaoxian: "Crawled out of the well?"

"It doesn't feel like it. She didn't get any water on her body, and she's not the same as the other two ghosts that crawled out of the water." Song Yu shook his head, scratched his head with his fingers, and said, "I don't know where she came from either. , but it looks pretty."

Chen Yao turned his head to look at Xu Xiaoxian. Xu Xiaoxian frowned, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and Zhi Nu hid in his hair and was covering her mouth and laughing.

Xu Xiaoxian: "What happened next?"

"Later... I can't remember what happened afterwards, I seemed to fall asleep, and then Lin Dao ran over, saying that he wanted to hide from his father with me, and then I met you when I went hunting... ...After you left that day, Lin Dao and I stayed in the bamboo forest for a while. I had a bad feeling at that time, and I didn't dare to let Lin Dao stay in my house, so I sent him back to the Lin Mansion. When I came back, I saw ,See……"

Song Yu swallowed, his face was terrified, as if just saying that thing was enough to kill him.

Xu Xiaoxian frowned and asked, "Did you see the ghost gate?"

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, Song Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Xu Xiaoxian in surprise, and nodded slightly.

Chen Yao: "How do you know?"

Xu Xiaoxian smiled lightly, and said: "Mr. Song is not afraid of ghosts, if there is something scary that can frighten you, in the current Beize City, there will be only that ghost that cannot be shut down." Is the door open?"

Song Yu: "It was already dark at that time, my horse refused to leave no matter what, and even threw me to the ground and ran away. When I got up from the ground, I heard someone in Beize City calling for help, saying There were ghosts, so I ran over and saw that the city was full of ghosts, and all the ghosts in the sky and the earth came out of that door. It seemed that all the ghosts from the underworld poured into our city. When I got there, I bit it. I saw them eat a child until only one arm was hanging from his mouth... I wanted to save people, but those ghosts were not afraid of beating them at all, so I ran home desperately. I have a half-immortal talisman , Those ghosts dare not approach me, I am worried about my parents... But when I ran home, there was no one in the house, the house was turned into a mess, but no one was there, those ghosts surrounded my room, I Terrified, I wrote a distress letter to Banxian..."

Xu Xiaoxian remembered that the letter for help was stained with blood, so he asked, "How did you get hurt? How could there be blood on the letter?"

"When I was writing a letter, a female ghost rushed towards me. She was not afraid of the half-immortal talisman at all. I was pushed to the ground by her, and my head hit the pillar. Fortunately, my pigeon flew over in time and pecked the female ghost's eyes. , I was saved.”

"Your pigeon can actually hurt the female ghost?" Xu Xiaoxian was a little surprised. He thought of the unlucky pigeon that refused to go back after delivering the letter, and he never believed that it would still protect the owner.

Song Yu shook his head, he had no memory of what happened after that, but he said something that made Xu Xiaoxian and Chen Yao look at each other.

"I've seen that female ghost before." Song Yu glanced at Chen Yao, then turned to Xu Xiaoxian, and said softly, "She looks the same as the little goddess. Looking closely at Mr. Chen, it seems that she also..."

This was probably why Song Yu didn't want Chen Yao to be present at first. Xu Xiaoxian lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly thought of something, he couldn't catch his breath suddenly, and coughed while covering his mouth.

Chen Yao approached and held his arm, and was about to pat him on the back, but before he touched it, his hand was opened.

"Don't touch me...cough..." Xu Xiaoxian picked up the cold osmanthus water on the table, poured it down in one gulp, put down the bowl, took a deep breath, but still coughed a few times when he spit it out.

"Half fairy? What's wrong with you?" Song Yu lifted the quilt and wanted to get off the bed, but Xu Xiaoxian quickly waved his hands to prevent him from getting off the ground.

Xu Xiaoxian frowned and looked at the concerned expressions of the two people in front of him, and said, "Okay, I'm sorry, I'm not about to die yet, so why be nervous."

Chen Yao opened his mouth lightly, hesitated to speak, quietly lowered his outstretched hand, hid it in his sleeve, clenched his fist, lowered his head to clean up the bowl on the table, turned and left the room.

Xu Xiaoxian looked at his back, felt strange, just wanted to stop him, but Zhi Nu pulled his hair.

Zhinu: "Banxian, why did you push Mr. Chen away just now? You're still so fierce!"

"Why am I so fierce... Is he angry?"

Chen Yaosheng was not angry Xu Xiaoxian didn't know, but Zhinu was angry anyway, a wisp of smoke tugged at his hair and asked: "You suspect that he will open the gate of ghosts, don't you?"

"Xiaoxian was wronged, please raise your hand high and spare Xiaoxian's hair." Xu Xiaoxian rubbed his painful scalp.

"Banxian, who are you talking to?" Song Yu couldn't see the gardenia girl hiding in the gardenia lamp, but Xu Xiaoxian was talking to himself, so he couldn't help asking.

Xu Xiaoxian stretched out his fingers and quietly stuffed Zhinu's wisp of smoke back into the small gardenia lamp, hahahaha perfunctory, made up an excuse and asked the other party to sleep peacefully, and ran out of the room by herself.

"Mr. Song is not feeling well. I would like to ask Miss Zhi to be careful in her words and deeds in the future. Don't scare the master." Xu Xiaoxian walked back to the yard while talking to Nu Nu in a low voice. Nu Nu was probably still angry and just snorted. He ignored Xu Xiaoxian.

Seeing Chen Yao cleaning the medicine bowl under the osmanthus tree, Xu Xiaoxian walked to the side. When Chen Yao saw him coming, he just nodded and asked him if his voice was better.

Xu Xiaoxian cleared his throat and stopped coughing. Chen Yao didn't ask any more questions. He took out a bowl of hot water from the pot and put it on a stone board next to him, and asked Xu Xiaoxian to drink it when the water cooled down.

Xu Xiaoxian looked at the bowl of water, then at Chen Yao who was fussing about something, suddenly reached out and took off the little gardenia lamp, tied it to the osmanthus branch next to it, and covered it with leaves.

"Xiaoxian is going to relieve her hand, Miss Zhi can wait here for a while."

Zhinu didn't make a sound, Xu Xiaoxian sighed, turned around and patted Chen Yao on the shoulder, and said softly, "Chen Yao, you go with me."

Chen Yao frowned, and was about to ask, but saw Xu Xiaoxian pressed his fingers between his lips to silence, glanced at the small gardenia lamp on the osmanthus branch, nodded slightly, and followed Xu Xiaoxian through the yard and the long A long corridor, into a room around the corner.

After the two entered the house, Xu Xiaoxian gently closed the door.

"What's the matter?" Chen Yao watched Xu Xiaoxian slowly approaching him, but he didn't speak, and took half a step back involuntarily.

Xu Xiaoxian smiled helplessly, stopped, and lowered his head to untie his belt and jacket. Chen Yao froze for a moment, and quickly grabbed his hand to prevent him from taking off his clothes.

"What are you thinking, I want you to look at the wound on my back." Xu Xiaoxian gently pushed his hand away, gave him a blank look, turned his back, and took off his shirt, revealing the terrifying scar on his back.

The color of the scar became darker. Chen Yao rubbed his eyes, and when he got closer, he saw that there seemed to be something moving under the wound, as if it could break through the skin and spurt out at any time. He stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and it was a little hot.

After Chen Yao finished reading, Xu Xiaoxian slowly put on his clothes, and said, "I didn't let you touch me just now, because I was afraid that you would hurt me, not because I doubted you."

Looking at Xu Xiaoxian, Chen Yao suddenly felt distressed and guilty, and asked softly, "Why did your injury become like this?"

Xu Xiaoxian shook his head, found a chair and sat down, crossed his legs, propped his arms, and said, "I don't know, I haven't tried this before on Ghost Festival, I don't know if it's because it's too close to the ghost gate , after all, it was written by the old man of Hades.”

Chen Yao leaned against the marble table in the middle of the room, looking up at a ray of sunlight leaking in from the missing corner of the roof.

"Xu Xuan, why don't we go back, I'm worried..."

"I know what you're worried about." Xu Xiaoxian stretched his waist, jumped off the chair, walked to the door, reached out to open the door, turned around and asked, "I'm going back now, can Young Master Chen not sneak back? You Want to see her?"

Chen Yao bit his lip, he admitted that he wanted to stay here, he wanted to know about the female ghost Song Yu was talking about, he wanted to see her.

"It's okay, we're all here, let's go and have a look together," Xu Xiaoxian raised his eyes to the sky, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "Xiaoxian has nothing to do, so I can keep you safe all the way, I don't know if Mr. Chen can also Guaranteed my expenses along the way?"

Chen Yao frowned and looked at this person who never forgets to make money no matter what, but smiled and said, "Since the half-immortal has the ability to keep me safe, it should serve me with good food and drink."

"Deal! But now you have to do me a favor?"

"what?"

"Miss Zhi is angry, go and coax her, otherwise she will always ignore me."

"... What did you do to them?"

"She said that I was too cruel to you. The little girl has a lot of thoughts. You should explain it clearly."

Chen Yao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There is no explanation for this, you were indeed too, fierce, just now."

"As long as you young masters are delicate, Xiaoxian, I can't say enough!" Xu Xiaoxian rolled his eyes at him, and walked back to the yard through the corridor. It happened that the owner of Taozhuang also came, but there was a person wearing a black cloak behind him. When he got to that person, he couldn't help but froze.
