Green scales

Yuqin didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the voice kept ringing unrelentingly, as if he would keep knocking on the window if he didn't open the window.

Yuqin frowned slightly, and as soon as she turned to one side, Xia Xinglan moved, Yuqin stopped moving immediately, for fear of waking Xia Xinglan, and at this moment, the sound of "dongdong" outside the window also stopped for a while, and there was silence everywhere. After a while, Yuqin saw that he just turned over and then fell into a deep sleep again, so she was relieved and raised her hand to push the window half open.

All of a sudden, a gust of cool night wind blows towards the face with the smell of moist soil, sweeping away the gloom in Yuqin's heart.At this time, a small emerald green head poked in from the window.

It's you?Yuqin opened his mouth and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The emerald little snake tilted its head and nodded slowly.Immediately afterwards, the little snake slowly climbed up from the window. The night rain continued, which wet the little snake, leaving a pool of meandering marks outside the window.

After the little snake got on the window sill, he stood up and looked at Yuqin steadily, as if he had something to say.Yuqin thought for a while, then opened his lips and let out another spiritual breath, which turned into a bright green light spot and penetrated into the little snake's body.Then a thin voice sounded in Yuqin's ear.

"The death of Wangcheng was done by the monster clan."

Yuqin gave the little snake a mouthful of spiritual breath, so the little snake could communicate with him without worrying about waking Xia Xinglan.

"what happened?"

The little snake shook his head, and said again: "I don't know, this subordinate has never left the royal city for a moment. Originally, he just suffered from the nightmare technique of the king. I thought he should be able to wake up with a stick of incense, but the royal city is not. Haven't woken up yet."

Yuqin really didn't want that Wangcheng's life, at most it was just to frighten him so that he could avoid it.The death of Wang Cheng was beyond his expectation.

Seeing that Yuqin was silent, the little snake wagged its tail and continued: "This subordinate was a little worried, so he went to check his neck. I didn't expect that there was a snake's tooth mark on Wangcheng's neck..."

Perhaps it was the first time for the little snake to confide in human words, and she spoke softly and slowly, sometimes stopping to think for a while before continuing.But Yuqin didn't urge him, and listened slowly, but most of the time he lowered his head and meditated.

"From the beginning to the end, there is only one subordinate beside Wangcheng, and no other snake demon has approached."

"Nightmare..." Yuqin murmured.

The little snake was stunned, and tilted its head puzzledly, vomiting the snake letter.

"You also had a nightmare. It seems that after I left, that person also gave you a nightmare, then killed Wangcheng, and then woke you up, so you don't know that someone has been here." Yuqin said slowly.

The little snake lowered its head, hissed a few times, and said in a difficult way: "Someone is trying to harm the Lord. He wants to put the blame on the Lord."

Yuqin turned his head, and the little snake saw this and continued: "When those mortals found his body and moved him away, a piece of green scales fell down, which looks... It's the scales of your lord."

Yuqin was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Impossible..."

The little snake seemed to have expected that Yuqin would be suspicious, so he turned around and crawled down the window sill. After a while, he remembered the rustling sound, as if something was rubbing against the wall.

Not long after, the little snake struggled to bite a piece of dim green scales and climbed up, and sent the scales to the window.

"This is the Qing Lin that fell from Wang Cheng's body."

Yuqin raised his hand to take Qinglin, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.

These are indeed his scales!

But the aura on it was almost nonexistent. Yuqin looked at the scales on his hand and his thoughts changed suddenly. Suddenly, he remembered the red figure from yesterday in his mind.

"It's her..." Yuqin whispered, holding Qinglin between her fingertips.The little snake spit out the snake letter, but when he was about to say something more, he suddenly stopped talking, glanced to the side, then turned around and quickly fell down the window sill, falling into the grass and disappearing.

"What's the matter." A heavy body hugged Yuqin tightly behind him, and his voice was long and sleepy.

The warm skin is attached to Yuqin's slightly cool body, as if a ball of fire surrounded him, making him a little breathless, but Yuqin is willing to fly like a flame into the fire for a trace of warmth in this cold night. Moth-like.

"It's nothing, I was woken up by the rain in the middle of the night, get up and close the window." Yuqin turned his head and pecked Xia Xinglan's forehead a few times, and with the other hand, he quietly stuffed Qinglin between his fingers into the bed in the dark.

Fortunately, the scale no longer has aura, otherwise, if it glows green, it will be difficult to deal with.

Xia Xinglan hummed, took Yuqin back into her arms, and lay down together hugging her, saying with a strong nasal voice, "Go to sleep."

Yuqin buried his head in Xia Xinglan's chest, his breath was filled with the pleasant scent of a mature man after a bath, and the sound of his heart beating beat in his ears, which dispelled a lot of the chill from his whole body.

Yuqin is not a kind and good demon. If there is not a brother who is a demon king among the demon clan to help, there are many demons who want to eat him alive. Repaired, where is the fuel-efficient lamp.

But... Xia Xinglan was involved, so it should be resolved in the dark as soon as possible.Otherwise, in case things come to light...

Yuqin closed her eyes, there would be no day when she would be exposed.

At three o'clock in Haishi, Xie's mansion is in the main hall.

After the turmoil subsided during the day, Mr. Xie took the prescription Xia Xinglan gave, and after that, his body felt much better. In addition, everyone in the whole house witnessed the scene of Xia Xinglan killing the demon with their own eyes. also can not.

Although Mrs. Xie was shocked, seeing her husband's body recovering day by day, she was more joyful than sad. Thinking that she had been with a monster for so long, she felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

Immediately ordered the servants to take the willow branches and dip the talisman water Xia Xinglan gave them, and sprinkle the inside and outside of Xie's mansion all over.It is said to "get rid of bad luck".

As a result, the entire Xie mansion seemed to "live" again, and everyone in the mansion was filled with smiles, except for the second young master, who was said to have locked himself in the room for a whole afternoon, and Mrs. Xie just Sighing, let him go.

Compared with the hustle and bustle during the day, most of Xie's mansion should have fallen asleep in Haishi, but today's Xie's mansion is brightly lit till dawn.

There is no other reason, only because a distinguished guest came to the mansion.

Mr. Xie was wearing a fox fur and sat in the main seat, his complexion recovered a lot. Mrs. Xie at the side also hurriedly combed her hair in a bun after getting the news, and came to the main hall together.

The uninvited guest in the main hall was sitting on a chair, with his hands on his knees, his back straight, and he seemed to be a practitioner.And he was wearing a bamboo hat, and the shadows covered his face under the dancing candlelight.

At first glance, he looks more like a knight-errant walking the rivers and lakes.

Master Xie looked at the man hesitantly for a while, and when he couldn't make up his mind, the man raised his hand and took off the bamboo hat and put it aside, showing a handsome and rough face.

"Thank you sir."

"Who is your Excellency?"

The man didn't say much, he took out a pitch-black wooden plaque from his arms, painted gold borders around it, lifted it lightly and shook it in front of Master Xie.

The governor of Linzhou.

Master Xie's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly got up to salute. Although Mrs. Xie didn't see what was written on the nameplate, she knew that the person coming was not to be underestimated after seeing Master Xie's big reaction, so she also got up and wanted to salute .

The man waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be polite."

Mr. Xie once rescued a scholar when he was out on a business trip many years ago. He never expected to find out afterwards that he was actually the governor. Although the two of them were not familiar with each other, they had been together for a while, and they had similar temperaments. There was no contact for more than a year, but today this man rushed to the door, even wearing the nameplate of the governor...

"I don't know, what is your lord looking for next time?" Master Xie sat back again, but this time he was sitting upright, with a trace of imperceptible tension.

In contrast, the man was more casual, he said with a hilarious voice: "It's nothing serious, I'm here to inquire about someone. Xia Xinglan, Daoist Xia, have you seen him?"

Master Xie subconsciously turned his head and looked at Mrs. Xie, and both saw a trace of hesitation in each other's eyes.

The man smiled when he saw this, "What are you afraid of? If you've seen it, you've seen it, and if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it!"

"I've seen, Daoist Xia is still eliminating demons in my house today." Master Xie said carefully.

"Monster hunting? Hey, interesting." The man rubbed his chin and laughed to himself. "Then do you know where he lives now? Lord Inspector has something important to see him for."

"Daoist Xia lives at the foot of Lingquan Mountain in Xicheng..."

The man nodded when he heard the words, got up and put the bamboo hat on his head, and said lazily: "It's getting late now, I'd like to borrow a night, Mr. Xie, don't you mind?"

Since he is a member of the governor's relatives, Mr. Xie dared not say anything, not to mention that this person's gestures also showed the characteristics of a warrior, and he dared not be tough.Then he hurriedly said no trouble, and winked at Mrs. Xie who was at the side.

Mrs. Xie understood and immediately called for a servant to clean out the empty room and lure away the distinguished guests.

The man grunted, stretched his limbs, and followed the boy to the room.Only Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie were left in the lobby, looking at each other in dismay, each in a state of confusion.

In the early morning, birds chirped in the empty mountains.

Yuqin woke up to the sound of birdsong, raised her hand to rub her astringent eyes, then stretched out her hand to the side in a daze.There was no residual warmth on Xia Xinglan's mattress, it was obvious that he had been up for a long time.

Yuqin felt empty, looked sideways into the room, but he was nowhere to be seen, and sat up immediately, all sleepiness disappeared.

This morning is not the first time, Xia Xinglan often wakes up early to cook for Yuqin, and Yuqin mostly just waits for Xia Xinglan to wake him up, and Xia Xinglan also likes to tease the sleepy Yuqin in the morning, no matter what he says , Yuqin always dragged the usual ending sound, humming lightly from his nose in response.

But today, Yuqin always had a strange feeling, as if someone would snatch Xia Xinglan away from him and push him into a place where there would be no redemption.

Yuqin didn't dare to think about it, and didn't even care about wearing shoes and socks. He got off the bed in a panic, and his bare feet just touched the cold ground, which made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Yuqin casually took the outer shirt and put it on, opened the door and was about to rush out, but accidentally kicked Xiao Bai who was lying soundly asleep by the door. He let out a wail, and ran back to smell it non-stop after seeing that it was Yuqin.

Yuqin didn't care about Xiaobai, and was about to run out barefoot, but happened to see Xia Xinglan standing in the courtyard holding a hatchet.

Xia Xinglan changed into a coarse cloth, which he wore when doing rough work. Xia Xinglan was chopping firewood in the side courtyard, when he heard Xiaobai's wailing, he got up and looked. Messy and terrified, he stood at the door.

After seeing Xia Xinglan, Yuqin seemed to be revived again. He breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned against the door as if he had exhausted all his strength.

As long as he's still alive, he's still fine...

Xia Xinglan was about to speak, but suddenly saw Yuqin standing barefoot on the ground, her brows were furrowed, she threw the machete aside, and strode towards the bedroom.

Yuqin watched the person he was thinking of walking towards him step by step, her heart was beating like a drum, and she subconsciously took a step forward, stepping on the wet soil.

Xia Xinglan walked up to Yuqin with a stern expression, just staring at him fixedly.

Yuqin was at a loss for a moment, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his parents to punish him.Yu Qin opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to look Xia Xinglan in the eyes.

Xia Xinglan sighed helplessly, picked Yuqin up by the waist and went back to the bedroom, and put him back on the bed.

Yuqin sat by the bed, watched Xia Xinglan go to get the cloth towel, and said, "I thought... I thought you were gone."

Xia Xinglan squatted in front of Yuqin with a cloth towel, and wiped his beautiful and white feet clean one by one.Said: "I'm not going out today."

I'm afraid you'll never come back.Yuqin really wanted to ask him, would you leave, would you leave me?

He knew how Xia Xinglan would answer him.

"Will you go? Will you leave me?"

"No, I won't leave you."

"No matter what I did?" Yuqin was worried.

"It doesn't matter what you did." Xia Xinglan stretched out his hand to hold Yuqin's slightly cool fingertips, and replied seriously.

Yuqin had heard the same answer countless times in the past few years, but she never felt at ease when she heard Xia Xinglan's promise personally at this moment.

"I'm hungry."

Xia Xinglan smiled, reached out and pinched the tip of Yuqin's nose lightly, and said, "It's already been done, put on your clothes and eat."

Yuqin nodded with a smile, leaned forward and kissed Xia Xinglan's lips like a superficial kiss.Xia Xinglan's Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed, hurriedly said something to go and watch his breakfast, and left behind in a hurry.

Yuqin got the answer he wanted, felt relieved, got up and took out a set of lake blue clothes from the cabinet and put them on, which made his skin fair and slender.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai barked wildly outside the door, accompanied by the yelling of a strange man, as if to drive Xiao Bai away.When Yuqin was about to check what happened, suddenly the strange voice outside the door said loudly:

"Dare to ask Xia Xinglan, is Daoist Xia here?"
