Nan Chan

A few copper beads rolled on the ground, and the weather-carved man stooped to pick them up.Wipe one by one into the money bag, and when the mouth is tied, there is a jingle of copper bells.On the opposite side stood the old man with an abacus, crackling the beads.

"Let's go when it's settled." The old man waved his hand casually without looking up, and said, "Give way to the people behind."

Without saying a word, the man turned around and pushed away the crowd, rushing to the market.Ah Yi was bumped all the way until his eyes turned black, and at this moment he could only lie on the ground dying to be weighed by others, watching the culprit disappear into the sea of ​​people.

The man wore a collared hood, hiding his taciturn face in the shadows, revealing a bit of stern lines.He kept his eyes on the shoulder-to-shoulder street market, like a stone passing through the hustle and bustle, neither conspicuous nor interested.He cut into the alley and knocked down a narrow door.

The door opened slowly, revealing a woman's sleepy face with half-faded makeup.Hua Di leaned against the door, not even bothering to pull up her coat. When she saw the man, she said: "Walk again for nothing, is your pocket empty? You bastard, you only use my old lady's place as an inn, and give it to your face."

Hua Di cursed, but gave up.The man stepped in and felt a scent of warmth blowing over his face.He took off his hood and sat curled up on the woman's couch.Wine and porridge were simmering on the small stove, and his hands and feet were finally able to warm up after being frozen for a day and a night.

Huadi snuggled into the quilt, turned her back, and squinted for a while.He couldn't hear anyone moving behind him, so he cursed again, "Go to the deep mountains and wild forests, don't you even know how to eat!"

The man brewed wine and swallowed.Just sitting properly, eyes half drooping.The room was quiet, as soon as he entered, he saw the unpacked sundries, and knew that Hua Di had received guests again last night.Rolling in his throat, he let out a low sigh, and fell on the small couch that was not as long as his body, curled up and closed his eyes.

"Is there any news from the north?" the man asked in a low voice.

Huadi opened her eyes and stared at the vulgar curtain. The small mirror hanging above could only accommodate her one eye, blurring the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.She stroked her temples with her fingers, and still answered sharply, "I thought you had given up, and you didn't ask any questions after walking for ten and a half months, so you still remember it in your heart."

The man couldn't turn over, and was hunched over on the narrow couch, looking a bit embarrassed.But he looked as usual, he was used to it.

"I only have one daughter," he said.

The tip of Huadi's nose was sore, she quickly closed the corners of her eyes, snorted with a strong voice, and said, "You're dead mother-in-law, and you are so poor that you can't get rid of it. Who wants to follow you? You can't even ask for a mother-in-law, and you still expect to have a few daughters?" ?”

The man said: "One is enough."

Hua Di said: "No one has come to the north, and the snowy road is hard to walk, and it will take a few more days. Besides, Zhongdu is so big, how can it be so easy to find the abducted children? Don't you understand?"

The man stopped talking and fell asleep.He ran hard all the way, and felt that there was a monster chasing after him. Fortunately, he brought a magical treasure next to him, so he was able to escape.Now that he entered the city, as long as he got mixed up with the smell, he would not be afraid of the monster following him again.

Cang Ji moved his nose slightly, and said, "I can't find him, the place is overcrowded, and it's hard to tell if he sneaks in. Jing Lin, where is your bell?"

Jing Lin looked around the crowd and said, "It's gone."

There is a boundary department to monitor this place, and a mortal mansion to suppress evil, and there are countless human monsters mixed in, blocking it layer by layer, causing Tongling's perception to become weak.

"This town is not small. If you only want a copper bell, you will undoubtedly find a needle in a haystack." Cang Ji said, "I guess he dare not go out casually, so why rush for a while. Hey, I ran all night, and I am very hungry now."

Jing Lin picked up the little stone figure and walked along the street.When he closed his eyes slightly, he could feel the evil spirit around him, and monsters in human skin could be seen everywhere.Not only that, he could even sense that between the temples, the God in charge was patrolling with his eyes open.

This gets tricky.

"Can you eat it?" Cang Ji leaned down from the side and put it close to Jinglin's ear, "You feed me, or I go foraging. With so many people, it's not surprising that one or two people are missing Bar."

"You can try it." Jing Lin said, "The god in charge here is Hui An under the seat of Killing Lord Li Rong. God-given eagle eyes can see the true shape of monsters without being disturbed by phantoms. They also have the ability to communicate with each other. With a clear mind, when you are not dormant, he can see your every move."

"Isn't that spying on people's privacy, and there is no virtue at all." Cang Ji said, touching his chest, "Can he see through clothes?

Jing Lin glanced at him, and the little stone man also glanced at him.

Cang Ji raised his chin slightly, "If you want to see it, just say it bluntly. But if he is like this, won't his eyes blur? There are more people than demons here."

Jing Lin said: "He only sees monsters when he opens his eyes, and sees ordinary people when he closes his eyes."

"Then if he wants to look at you, should he open his eyes or close them?"

Jing Lin said: "Blind."

"Just chatting." Cang Ji pinched Jing Lin's shoulders with his fingers, as if supporting him, and caged him under him, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Hands and feet are moving." Jing Lin raised his hand to push Cang Ji's hand away, "It's not just a chat."

"Are you prudish or really stubborn? You and I have known each other for a long time, so we should be so close." Cang Ji put his shoulders on him, "Come closer, you are the darling of my heart now, and I can't afford to lose you."

"Excuse me then." Jing Lin said, "Open the way ahead."

Cang Ji led him through the crowd, and from time to time met some malicious looks.Cang Ji just weighed them one by one in his heart, this one was too thin, that one was too fat, and they were all too ugly, and he couldn't take a bite of any of them.

Jing Lin followed his gaze, and saw a lynx smiling shyly, its ears turned red from being stared at by Cang Ji, and its eyes looked at Cang Ji with charming and charming eyes.

"Fat and thin." Cang Ji said, "It's just that it's inconvenient to remove the head and eat it raw, and there's nowhere to bury the head here."

"Do you just want to eat her?" Jing Lin asked.

Cang Ji immediately showed an expression of "Otherwise", and said clearly, "Eating raw is indecent, and I won't eat it in front of you. But you and I can't be separated. When I eat, you can close your eyes and don't look at it. Don't you Do you still have compassion for monsters?"

"No." Jing Lin replied, and stopped asking.

Cang Ji walked on the street, at first he was a little interested, but later on he felt bored.Because people come and go, what they say and play is not what he prefers, or even what he can easily understand.He felt as if he was still on the mountain, just looking at people from a distance.He didn't understand why people laughed and blushed, his heart was cold and hard under the skin, and he felt neither good nor yearning.

Jing Lin entered the inn, like an ordinary mortal, his appearance no longer attracts attention, it is just ordinary and mediocre, nothing unusual.Cang Ji knew that he was hiding his appearance, watched him hand out the silver bead, and followed him upstairs.

"Do people live here?" Cang Ji fell on the bed, rolled around, looked at Jing Lin with his head up, "It's no different from home."

Jing Lin said: "Since there is no difference, let's go to your room."

"What's the difficulty in wanting me to go? Just take it out and throw it away like before." Cang Ji raised his hand, grabbed the corner of Jing Lin's clothes, and pulled him forward, "How much do you know about the world?" Guang, have you been here before?"

Jing Lin didn't answer.The little stone man jumped hard and landed on Cang Ji's stomach. Cang Ji flicked away without thinking, only pulling Jing Lin.

"answer."

Jing Lin took off his coat, turned around and wanted to leave.Unexpectedly, Cang Ji got up quickly, threw him into his arms, grabbed his hands, and dragged him into his arms.

"You still don't understand this journey." Cang Ji leaned dangerously against Jing Lin's temple, "Who is the master between you and me now?"

Jing Lin's sleeves slipped a little, exposing his wrists, which turned red when Cang Ji caught him.He didn't even move his eyebrows, but said indifferently, "If you have to talk about respect and inferiority in everything, I'm afraid it won't do you any good."

"My benefits are here." Cang Ji said, "In my palm, no one can decide for me except me."

"That's really gratifying." Jing Lin said calmly.

Cang Ji hated his attitude again, so he dragged Jing Lin to the bed, pressed his back against the quilt.Cang Ji lowered his head, already showing a bit of cruelty, but he still smiled, "You don't intend to bow your head at all, and you don't even get scared. I remembered, you were like that when you abandoned me, neither Sad and not sympathetic. At this moment, I doubt whether you have a heart, whether you are a human being."

Half of Jing Lin's face was sunken in between the quilts, and a section of white was exposed on the back of his neck.His lip line was tight, and he sneered, "Don't you remember? I'm dead."

"Most dead people can't open their mouths." Cang Ji saw that the back of his neck was so easy to get, he couldn't help but feel ready to move, and said, "I'll give you another chance, let's talk. Have you been here before? Before you became a fairy, were you a mortal? ?”

"I never ask how the food is in my mood before eating." Jing Lin squinted, "You always look special in some places..."

Before Jing Lin finished speaking, she closed her eyes and gasped.

Cang Ji bit the nape of his neck, the warm, untouched place was like a delicacy, Cang Ji couldn't stop.He really tasted the nourishment full of aura again, and they rushed into his body without end, which made him unable to stop.

Eat him, as long as you eat him, his indifference and guard will be swallowed together, and disappear from now on.

Cang Ji gritted his teeth slightly, tearing the skin.He greedily licked the little bit of blood, and was about to swallow it, when he realized that Jing Lin had already bowed his head.

Cang Ji suddenly let go of his mouth and lifted his body. He turned over Jing Lin and found that Jing Lin had fallen into a coma and felt cold all over.

wrong.

Cang Ji felt that something was wrong.He really wanted to eat Jing Lin all the time, but even if he was tempted by flesh and blood in the past, he would not be as crazy as this.He vaguely realized that since he was stained with Jing Lin's blood, he seemed to be the one who was swallowed instead.He must figure out what Jing Lin is, otherwise he will feel that he is between the five fingers of others, being pushed and manipulated by others all the time.

Cang Ji wiped the corners of his lips and looked out the window.The little stone man faltered and fell between the mattresses.Cang Ji flicked it a few times, seeing that it was listless.

"I bit Jinglin." Cang Ji pressed his fingertips against the face of the little stone man, stared at it and said, "Why are you weak?"

The little stone man remained motionless, slapped his fingers away, and buried his head in the quilt.Cang Ji picked it up, put it on his chest, and lay down on his side to look at Jing Lin.

"If only he couldn't talk like you." At the end, he regretted it, and just said, "Forget it, he is like a gourd. Hey, how long have you been with him? Why is he so pleasant to you. We were all raised to play together, so should we be in order?"

The little stone man turned over, looked at him on his stomach, and turned his head again, as if he was going to sleep.Cang Ji wanted to turn it upside down, causing it to pick up Cang Ji's fingers and beat it.

Cang Ji played with it for a while, and before he knew it, the sky was getting dark and it was night.When he was full, he also fell asleep.

There was a wind in the middle of the night, blowing the branches outside the window.Cang Ji woke up suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, and gently opened the window.The strong wind mixed with the flying snow hit his face, he looked into the night vigilantly, and smelled an unusually foul smell.

In the dark night, the shadow of a gray crane suddenly flew by, with giant white claws, and its eyes sparkled like phosphorous fire, and the stench of corpses permeated wherever it passed.Cang Ji frowned, he didn't know what kind of bird it was, he could only see it jumping over the roof, over the flying snow, and swooping not far away.Then there was the sound of chains crashing on the deserted street, and the ghost messengers ran in the direction of Big Bird in an orderly manner.Passing downstairs on the way, one of them felt something and looked up.

The windows closed suddenly, and Jing Lin covered Cang Ji's mouth and nose, covering his breath.Cang Ji's breathing was short, and he had already revealed the fierce appearance of a monster.

Jing Lin stared at the window paper without moving, but turned his head slightly, and said in Cang Ji's ear, "Don't bite, don't move, don't make a sound."

Cang Ji's tense body gradually relaxed, and the scales that had already appeared on his neck could not be hidden, and remained motionless in Jing Lin's arms.

Jing Lin said as if rewarding: "Very good."
