Green scales

It was already a little late when Qing Yu and Xia Xinglan went, there were quite a few people around the stall, most of them were holding hands or sitting on their shoulders with one or two children, bursts of fragrance came out with the steaming heat, and directly surrounded the children They bit their fingers greedily.

Qing Yu was already handsome, but now she deliberately hides the color of her pupils. Standing next to Xia Xinglan, she looks like two young sons of a noble family who are out for a night out together. The two have special auras, especially Qing Yu, who has a faint His high-ranking aura is very conspicuous in the crowd.

Qing Yu stood outside the crowd, glanced at the wonton stall from a distance, and said to Xia Xinglan, "Let's go."

"Don't you want to eat?"

"There are too many people." Qing Yu shook her head.

Xia Xinglan glanced at the packed crowd, thought for a moment and said to Qing Yu, wait a minute, then squeezed into the crowd.Not long after, Xia Xinglan came out to straighten out the messed up clothes, walked to Qing Yu's side and said with a smile:

"Just to ask, this stall is open until Haishi, let's go shopping elsewhere first, and come back later when there are fewer people."

Qing Yu let out a "hmm", but she didn't seem to be interested in going shopping, so she found a stone bench and sat down. Seeing this, Xia Xinglan couldn't laugh or cry, her heart was still exactly the same as before, she didn't stand when she could sit, could it be Are all snake demons so lazy?

The sun is sinking, and the gorgeous sunset glow is floating in the sky, which makes everyone's faces flushed. Lanterns of various colors are hung everywhere on the street, and people on the street come and go like a tide. The dots of stars on the ninety-nine sky reflect each other, and the night wind gently blows over the capital, making people feel refreshed and happy.

"Want to go shopping?" Xia Xinglan asked again.

This time Qing Yu didn't refuse anymore, but nodded, got up and walked side by side with Xia Xinglan.

Small stalls on both sides of the street are now set up, mostly selling lanterns, women's jewelry, and some small carpentry, which are very popular with children.

Xia Xinglan has always wanted to buy something for Qing Yu, but Qing Yu just passed by like a horse on a horse, and there is nothing she particularly likes.

Xia Xinglan was worrying when suddenly Qingyu paused, turned around and walked straight to a small stall. The stall was not conspicuous, only a red lantern hung high above, but there were quite a few women around, all holding Take some hair accessories and try them on your head.

This is a jewelry stand.Xia Xinglan knew it in her heart, and hurriedly followed Qing Yu's pace. It was hard for people not to pay attention to the sudden appearance of two big men among a group of Yingying and Yanyan.

"The two gentlemen, do you want to buy jewelry for the girl? The styles here are all the latest. I also have Zhixialou, which the girls love most." The big customer said with a busy smile.

Xia Xinglan just smiled at the stall owner without answering, and turned to look at Qing Yu. Qing Yu had been staring at a certain place unblinkingly since just now, and now she went straight from the mess. Fiddled with the pile of jewelry that hadn't been tidied up for a long time, as if looking for something.

"Qing Yu? What are you looking for?" Xia Xinglan asked slowly.

Seeing this, the stall owner lost interest, ignored the two of them, and went to greet those whispering ladies.

Qingyu's hands trembled slightly, and he took out a silver bracelet from one side of the box. There were three bells adorned on the bracelet, and the sound was still clear and melodious during the movements.

"Street owner, what's the price?" Xia Xinglan said hastily when he saw this, the stall owner glanced at the bracelet and said casually: "I've been suppressing the product for several years, I'll sell it to you at a cheap price, thirty cents."

Qing Yu stared deeply at the silver bracelet in her palm, raised her hand to gently brush off the dust on the bracelet, her movements were extremely gentle, for fear of breaking it.

Xia Xinglan paid the money readily, and the woman at the side was secretly watching the two of them, her cheeks were flushed and she turned her head and whispered something in a low voice from time to time, Xia Xinglan was in a bad mood, and immediately ran out of the crowd holding Qing Yu's hand, while Qing Yu remained deeply Staring deeply at the silver bracelet in his palm, he let Xia Xinglan lead his hand through the crowd to a small booth.

The small pavilion is built next to the lake, and there is no one in the pavilion. There are many river lanterns floating on the lake beside it, shaking gently with the water waves.

Xia Xinglan took Qingyu and sat down, the pavilion was ventilated from all sides, and the little tunes on the stage could be heard from a distance. Most of the visitors had gone to the stage, and now the insects were chirping, and the pavilion seemed a little deserted, but this was exactly what Xia Xinglan wanted meaning.

"Is there any mystery about this bracelet?" Xia Xinglan asked.

The bracelet is very slender and silvery white. Upon closer inspection, one finds that the bracelet is a small silver snake with its head and tail intertwined. A bright red gemstone is inlaid between the head and tail, and three silver bells are adorned below the gemstone.

Qing Yu had mixed feelings in her heart, "This is a drinking song bracelet. When I was young, he used to hum this ringtone to lull me to sleep. I will never remember this ringtone wrong."

Although Xia Xinglan had already guessed in his heart, but now he still couldn't help but his heart sank. Qing Yu had been looking for the whereabouts of Yinge, but... the master once said that Yinge had died under his sword long ago, the master categorically I won't lie about this kind of thing, if Qing Yu knows...

"Do you want to find him?" Xia Xinglan asked cautiously.

Qing Yu paused, raised her head and looked inexplicably at the pitch-black lake, with only a few river lamps remaining, she hesitated and said: "I haven't seen him for many years, I once sent the little demon to look for him, but He doesn't come to see me."

Xia Xinglan couldn't bear it, and said tentatively, "Have you ever thought that something might happen to him...?"

Xia Xinglan originally thought that Qing Yu would categorically deny it, but he just nodded slowly and said, "I know, Situ also persuaded me, but in recent years, Wuhe's lineage has once grown stronger, and the demon world has been secretly divided. Song has a lot to do with me, I'm afraid they will attack him, even if there is a glimmer of hope, I will find Yin Ge before them."

Xia Xinglan stood up and paced back and forth in the pavilion in a state of anxiety, while Qing Yu was still looking at the bracelet and fell into deep thought.

Xia Xinglan really wanted to tell Qing Yu the truth, but he was afraid that Qing Yu would find it difficult to accept it for a while. After all...the person who killed Yin Ge was his master.

But if you don't tell Qingyu and keep it from him, how cruel is it?

"Qingyu...I" Xia Xinglan hesitated.

Qing Yu raised her eyes and looked at Xia Xinglan suspiciously.Under the drowsy candlelight, Qing Yu's delicate face seemed to be covered with a layer of soft twilight, and the usually cold brows and eyes were relaxed at this moment, making it even more refined.

Xia Xinglan's heart softened suddenly, "Are you hungry, I'll go buy you some food." As he spoke, he hurried to the street without caring about Qing Yu's reaction.

Qing Yu shook her head as she looked at Xia Xinglan's almost fled back, got up and sat on the stone bench beside the pavilion, carefully wiped off the dust on the silver bracelet, and put it on her hand.

After doing all this, Qingyu let out a long breath, propped her head on one hand and looked sideways at the calm lake. There are not many people on the shore now, only a few people came to set off the river lanterns. Most of the river lanterns are in the shape of lotus flowers, reflected on the lake surface It's like stars falling into the lake.

All of a sudden, there was a sound of "plop—" as if a heavy object had fallen into the water, and then there was a childish scream. Qingyu looked subconsciously, and saw a girl standing by the river, anxiously watching the thumping water in the lake. people,

"Help! Help—"

Because the adults were all gathered at the stage, the girl yelled a few times before one or two men heard the movement and rushed over. However, the child who fell into the water obviously couldn't hold on to the cold lake water.

Seeing this, Qingyu turned into a green snake tail and dived into the water, cutting a water mark, the snake tail supported the back of the child who fell into the water and gently pushed him ashore, the girl burst into tears and hugged the child who fell into the water Young children, at this moment, the adults on the side gathered around, recognized whose family the child was, and hurriedly called for someone to come over.

The one who fell into the water was a boy, his face was pale at the moment, he couldn't stop shaking, like a little milk dog that fell into the water, it made people feel distressed just looking at it, Qing Yu was not surprised, couldn't help but look more A few glances.

The boy also opened a pair of big eyes and looked at Qing Yu's direction ignorantly, as if he knew who could save him.

On a whim, Qing Yu blinked at him, and the boy grinned tremblingly.

"What are you looking at?" An honest and gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Qing Yu felt the back of his neck go numb, couldn't help coughing lightly, raised his hand and pushed away the head that was approaching.

Xia Xinglan was not angry when he was pushed away, he smiled and handed the steaming scallion pancake to Qing Yu, while she sat on the side and looked at him.

Qing Yu casually took a piece of cake, pushed the rest to Xia Xinglan, and said casually, "Take it and eat it."

Xia Xinglan just didn't answer, she rested her chin on one hand and stared at Qing Yu who was absent-mindedly sipping pancakes, her heart seemed to be covered with honey, even the night breeze seemed to be sweet.

"Where do you want to go next?"

Qing Yu took a bite of the pancake. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, full of scallions, which warmed up her stomach, "Go back to the demon world. There are many things to prepare for the empress's wedding, and they still have to go to Beihai after they get married. Going to the banquet, I have to go back and help."

Xia Xinglan's smile faded away, and he hummed after a moment of silence.

That's right, Qing Yu is the second in command of the demon world, how could it be possible to stay with him in the human world, but... it's only been a while, and the two will be separated. When Qing Yu returns to the demon world, I don't know if they will have a chance to meet again Meet?

Xia Xinglan looked a little lonely, and for a while, he felt that the layer of honey in his heart had disappeared, revealing a bitter core.

After Qing Yu finished eating the scallion pancake in her hand, she turned her head to look at Xia Xinglan who had been silent since just now, and gave him a strange look.

Qing Yu: "?"

When Qing Yu stood up and was about to speak, suddenly a red light flew from outside the pavilion!

Xia Xinglan was startled, and was about to step forward, but Qing Yu raised her hand and took the red light into her palm.

The two looked at each other, both of them didn't understand why.

Qing Yu spread out her palm, a small bird with red wings appeared in her palm.

"This is Situ Ling's letter." Qing Yu explained to Xia Xinglan, then raised her hand, rubbed the top of the little bird's head with her index finger, the red bird chirped softly, and then Situ Ling's voice sounded:

"Quickly return to the Wan Yao Temple!"

Situ Ling's voice was hurried and tinged with fear. As soon as he finished speaking, the red bird turned into light dust and dissipated in the night wind.

Qing Yu's complexion suddenly became solemn, Situ Ling, an out-of-shape person, probably wouldn't be so anxious even if Wu He hit the door, there was only one possibility for him to seek help so hastily.

Something happened to Yao Jue.
