Green scales

Yuqin smiled wryly, he had never been so embarrassed, only once in the thousand years, and only that time.

Not far away is a big tree, as long as he climbs under the tree, he can temporarily avoid the storm, but he has no strength at the moment, Yuqin slowly closed his eyes, as if he had accepted this reality.

The moment he closed his eyes, a haunting voice sounded, and he seemed to hear that familiar voice in a trance, calling him gently.

"Yuqin?"

Xia Xinglan.

Yuqin opened her eyes suddenly, yes!Xia Xinglan, he can't die, he wants to live.

The little cyan snake turned over with difficulty, and slowly moved sideways bit by bit.It's a pity that it is too weak, and it only climbed a few inches before being thrown back by a gust of wind, struggling in the mud.

His whole body was in pain like being scaled and peeled, and Yuqin almost felt that he would die in this storm.He could sense that there were other monsters in the bushes around him, staring at him covetously, preparing to eat him up when he died.

But he didn't have the strength to move the slightest bit, and he couldn't even mobilize his spiritual breath, so he could only let the spiritual breath in his body disperse and melt into the torrential rain.

The pure spiritual power scattered into the rain, and as the mist drifted away, the surrounding demons greedily absorbed the spiritual power in the rain, which was enough to make them improve a lot in a short period of time.

Yuqin was lying exhausted in the rain. He was so exhausted now that his whole body seemed to be cut by a knife.

Well, that's it.

Yuqin didn't know why, but this sentence suddenly appeared in the bottom of her heart. The green snake lay quietly in the muddy water, while the green scales on her body glowed with a lustrous gleam under the washing of the rain, just like fireflies on a summer night. Generally crumbling.

All these seemed to show that he was not far from death.

The eyes became blurred again, and the buzzing in the ears continued, the huge world seemed to have quieted down again, and Yuqin closed her eyes wearily.

"Yuqin!"

It was Xia Xinglan's eager cry, mixed with a hint of fear.

"Xia Xinglan..." Yuqin murmured.What are you afraid of?Seeing that I am a snake demon, are you afraid?Yuqin wanted to laugh, but the green snake couldn't make so many moves.

All of a sudden, the vision went dark, a shadow shrouded it, the rain stopped, but the sound of the rain did not stop, Yuqin was able to linger on for a while, slowly opened his eyes, and saw a magnified human face.

It was a little doll about seven or eight years old, holding a willow green paper umbrella that was much bigger than him, and he was really cute with thick eyebrows and big eyes. At this moment, he was biting his fingers with a serious face and staring at The green snake on the ground looked like it was observing whether the green snake was dead or not.

Perhaps the doll's eyes are too focused, she is obviously a child, but her face is pretending to be mature, the baby's plump cheeks are bulging, perhaps she wants to pretend to be imposing, but it is counterproductive.

"Xia Xinglan..." Yuqin murmured in a low voice.

The childish child raised his head in an instant, looking left and right, the heavy rain covered Yuqin's voice, and after waiting for a while, the baby lowered his head again, and gently poked the green snake with his short and thick hand like a young bamboo shoot.

Yuqin flicked her tail slightly.

The doll was startled, and shook the paper umbrella, the rain splashed down and wet his clothes.Yuqin just moved a little, and his whole body felt like a piercing pain.

The doll hesitated for a moment, stood up, spun the paper umbrella a few times, the water droplets flew away, hesitated for a moment, then squatted down, as if encountering some difficult problem.

"Yuqin?!" Xia Xinglan's voice came from afar, and Yuqin was startled. Xia Xinglan is here too?Busily supported the pain and propped his head up.

The childish child saw that the little snake was trying to prop up its upper body with its big black eyes open. The little snake was only as thick as an adult's finger, so it was extremely small.The whole body is emerald green like emerald jade, extremely beautiful.

Zhitong blinked his big watery eyes, and slowly stretched out his hand to the little green snake. Yuqin didn't dodge or dodge, just watching Zhitong quietly.

The soft little hand touched the cold scales, and the cyan snake slightly turned its head, and rubbed against the child's palm.

The boy's cheeks flushed with excitement, and he stretched his short forearm forward again. The little snake obediently put its head in his palm, and then slowly climbed up until its whole body was out of the cold muddy water. Wrap around this warm body.

The childish boy was shaken by the ice, and muttered why it was so cold, the little snake just clung to his forearm and stopped climbing up.

Zhitong got up cautiously, put the arm with the little snake on his chest to avoid being caught by the rain, then turned around and ran in one direction.

Yuqin only felt that someone had stuffed a heater into his arms in the icy and snowy place, and his whole body felt warm all of a sudden.

This was the first time he felt the temperature of a mortal.

A mortal child has such vigorous vitality.

The surrounding scenery retreated rapidly, and Yuqin closed his eyes. For some reason, he suddenly felt a familiar sense of security, as if as long as he was by his side, even if the sky fell, it didn't matter.

The childish boy ran to a long-abandoned and disrepaired temple in the rain, but did not enter. He just sat at the door with a small snake in his arms, and put the umbrella aside.

Water was dripping under the eaves, the rain gradually subsided, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a ray of sunlight shone into the world through the gap.

The childish child folded his arms, careful not to touch the green snake, one person and one snake just sat quietly at the door and listened to the rain.

I don't know how long it took, the clouds disappeared and the sun appeared, and the rain passed and the sky cleared.There is a hint of grass fragrance in the breeze, which is refreshing.

"Huh?" Zhitong snorted softly, raised his head and looked into the distance, and Yuqin raised his head curiously when he saw this.

In the sky, among the mountains, a rainbow spans thousands of mountains and builds a sky bridge.The sun is lazily emitting a golden light, and the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist.

"Xing'er—" a thick and vigorous voice sounded, forming countless echoes in the mountains.

"Xing'er—"

"Hey" Zhitong echoed from a distance, and got up urgently. Just as he was about to run, Yuqin moved slightly, and the thin snake tail slipped across Zhitong's warm arm.

Only then did Zhitong come to his senses, and carefully removed the green snake from his arm. Yuqin stood up and stared at him motionless.

The childish boy stood there for a long time, and couldn't help but leaned over to touch the green lin, until the bird in the forest was startled by the loud cry, and flew to the sky with a clatter, then he reluctantly took the blue umbrella beside him. Covering the green snake's head, he turned and ran away.

Not far away, a middle-aged man came walking with a babbling baby in his arms. He was relieved to see that the child was safe, and he turned and left with the child's right hand in his other hand.

Yuqin looked at the umbrella above her head, and then turned to look at the three people whose backs were getting further away.

Xinger, Xinger...?

Xia Xinglan!

"Yuqin?"

"Yuqin!"

Yuqin gasped for breath suddenly, and the moment he opened his eyes, the surroundings returned to darkness, as if falling from the clouds, and the sense of weightlessness woke him up.

The room was dark, Xia Xinglan hugged Yuqin tightly, his face was flustered, and his eyes couldn't hide the worry.

"Yuqin? What's wrong with you? I've been shaking since I started, and I can't wake up no matter how much I scream." Xia Xinglan was a little scared. When she woke up halfway, she saw Yuqin huddled and trembling, and kept rolling. Pain, like a nightmare.

Yuqin looked dazed, his inner clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he was panting continuously, like a dying person.

Xia Xinglan yelled a few more times before Yuqin came to his senses, turned his head and stared at Xia Xinglan in a daze, without saying a word.Xia Xinglan was a little anxious, and raised her hand to touch Yuqin's forehead.

Suddenly, Yuqin turned over, the veins in his right hand bulged, he firmly clamped Xia Xinglan's neck, and slammed him on the bed, Xia Xinglan was caught by Yuqin without realizing it, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his neck was cold But his hand was pinching his throat tightly, and the strength was getting stronger and stronger. At this moment, Xia Xinglan could only make a sound of "ho ho ho" with unknown meaning.

Yuqin's eyes were blood red, full of killing intent, billowing black energy erupted all over his body, his five fingers tightened and tightened, Xia Xinglan was already exhaling more air than inhaling, he had no doubt at all that Yuqin wanted to kill him at this moment!

Yuqin wants to kill him!

Xia Xinglan closed his eyes in pain, his limbs were as heavy as lead, his eyes turned black, and he was on the verge of death.

At this moment, there was a loud noise, and the door was knocked open. Liu Shu stood against the light, with a long body standing tall, holding a sword in his right hand, and immediately threw out a spell with his left hand, and flew towards Yuqin in a hurry!

After the talisman touched the black air around Yuqin, it suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if attacking the black mist with the power of thunder!

In an instant, the black air surged and grew larger, almost occupying the entire bed, but when Liu Shu approached, it shrank suddenly, separated from Yuqin's body, and escaped through the gap by the window.Yuqin's body softened immediately, he let go of Xia Xinglan's grip, and fell back on the bed.

Xia Xinglan coughed violently, her eyes were bloodshot, panting for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't do it!"

Liu Shu stopped abruptly, stood beside the bed and glanced casually at Yuqin who was lying aside, then took a sword flower behind her back, put the sword behind her back, turned around and walked to the window, opened the window and said: "Although Chunxiao is worth a thousand dollars, but I still have to disturb the two of you at an inopportune time."

Xia Xinglan knew that Liu Shu was mocking him, but he couldn't argue anymore, so he turned sideways to check on Yuqin's situation, and kept patting his cheek.

"Xing... Xinglan." Yuqin murmured, her eyes returning to focus.

Just now...he seemed to be back on the battlefield back then, surrounded by monsters clamoring to kill him.

Xia Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered her head to touch Yuqin's forehead, both of them were covered in cold sweat.

"It's fine when you wake up, it's fine when you wake up."

Yuqin blinked, and looked at Xia Xinglan in confusion, as if she didn't understand why he was so nervous, but when she glanced down, her complexion turned pale instantly - the scar on Xia Xinglan's neck.

Yuqin raised her hand tremblingly, wanting to reach out to touch his wound, but she was afraid to go forward.

Xia Xinglan took the initiative to hold Yuqin's hand that was raised in mid-air, and kissed it on her lips, and comforted her in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I don't blame you, don't be afraid."

"This... this is."

"As you can see, you almost strangled my senior brother just now." Liu Shu closed the window, walked slowly to the bed, and looked at the two of them without any shyness, "Although the atmosphere is good now, I want to tell you Something has happened to you."

"What's the matter?" Xia Xinglan raised his hand and rubbed his burning neck, wondering why Yuqin's hands were so strong.

"Someone died." Liu Shu said lightly, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly suffocated.

"What's going on?" Xia Xinglan's face was heavy, and he hurriedly got up to find his coat and put it on. Seeing this, Yuqin also put on his clothes, and then went to help Xia Xinglan button the buttons. The movements were extremely smooth, obviously this was not the first time he had done this , Xia Xinglan seemed to have gotten used to it.

Liu Shu glanced at it indifferently, then turned and stepped out of the room.

"Why don't you come and see for yourself."

Pei Mansion, the main hall.

Pei Yun sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, Lian Ge was still dressed in the same way, sitting at the side, and the servants of the mansion all huddled in a corner, trembling and whispering.

The smell of blood permeated the air, and some timid maids couldn't help crying.

Xia Xinglan and Yuqin came in a hurry, and they could not help frowning when they smelled a bloody smell ten steps away.When they got to the main hall, they found a woman lying in a pool of blood. She was face down and couldn't see her face clearly. She looked like a maid from the mansion.

"What's going on here?" Xia Xinglan walked into the main hall with a solemn face, saw Liu Shu sitting beside him drinking tea, and asked.

"Master your neck..." Lian Ge asked softly.

Xia Xinglan rolled up his collar and said it was okay, Lian Ge glanced sideways at Yuqin, who was standing silently with his head bowed, and didn't ask any more questions tactfully.

"The one who died was Yanhong. She was only allowed to go back at noon, and she hadn't seen anyone all afternoon. How could she...hey." Pei Yun rubbed his brows, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Xia Xinglan walked slowly to Yan Hong's body, and after a brief glance, she saw that her face was already dripping with blood.

"The skin on her face was peeled off." Pei Yun said, a maid saw the snake demon with her own eyes.
