The Stars Cross the Frost Ocean

The feeling made him weak and weak, and the silhouette under the mist couldn't help but look a little timid.Seeing this, Xue Yang had a trace of helplessness in his eyes, with a hint of pampering: "Master, wait for me here, I'll go find something to eat." Xiao Xingchen heard the concern in his words , his heart warmed, but he thought of something again, and said bitterly: "The city is lifeless, where can you go to find food for me." Xue Yang smiled, already carrying the disaster on his back, he got up and said: "The Taoist priest only Knowing those regular eating methods is no better than me. When I was young, I couldn’t get enough food, so I often pondered about various things. Sometimes grass roots can also fill my stomach.” Suddenly looking at Xiao Xingchen, his words were full of affection Meaning: "However, a Taoist priest, how can he eat grass roots? Although the city is deserted, there are a few birds and birds when they come. Don't worry, I will find some decent food." Xiao Xing Chen was a little depressed at the beginning, and recalled all the humiliation that Xue Yang suffered when he was young, and his heart was filled with pain and sadness. Listening to the man's firm words, maybe he won't let himself suffer from hunger Hungry, as if time has gone back to the days of Yizhuang, and the smile is still spotless, pure as a white paper boy.

But later, Xiao Xingchen's breathing suddenly became short, and the turbid air mixed with the fragrance of lotus blossoms poured into his nostrils.The unspeakable and superficial things were all pierced by the sword. The sneering eyes, venomous words, sarcasm expressions and almost crazy roars all turned into the most poisonous monster in the world, penetrating The blood and bone marrow were soaked, and the deepest fear spread to every part of the skin.Xiao Xingchen suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, looking at Xue Yang who was inexplicably gentle in front of him, the weird feeling was even worse.

Is the current gentleness and forbearance also an appearance created to deceive me? Will waiting for me be deeper pain and abyss?

Xiao Xingchen was a little uncertain.

Seeing that his expression suddenly became flustered, Xue Yang keenly felt something was wrong.Then he closed his eyes and felt it carefully.Easily, he noticed the weirdness of the air.Just now he was only thinking about Zhuo Qing, but he didn't realize the strangeness of this fragrance.Opening his eyes suddenly, a sense of darkness filled the entire sea of ​​consciousness: "Master Dao, this fragrance is different, hurry up, follow me out!" As he said, he grabbed Xiao Xingchen's hand tightly. Pulling up, the pace was a little unsteady, feeling the warmth of the palm, and being a little dazed for a while.Seeing this, Xue Yang had no choice but to wrap his arms around his waist again, supporting each other, and rushed out of the house.

Xiao Xingchen was awakened a little by the oncoming cold wind, and shivered. Xue Yang pressed his hands on his shoulders, and asked eagerly, "How is it, Daoist, are you alright?" Xiao Xingchen was a little confused at first. The distracted gaze finally refocused, and when he saw the handsome face full of concern and anxiety, he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, don't worry. Xue Yang heaved a sigh of relief, but took the opportunity to slip into Xiao Xingchen's arms , hugged her tightly, and even her tone was a little coquettish: "It's good that you're fine, the appearance of the Taoist priest just now is really worrying. Facing the wilting tree behind him, carefully sensing the real temperature in his arms, Xue Yang silently smiled. That's great, it's not a dream. He thought so.

Xiao Xingchen: "..." Sensing that the person holding his body was trembling slightly due to nervousness and anxiety, he forgot to push away for a moment. Xue Yang's heartbeat seemed to be much faster. Hearts are tightly attached.After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Xingchen finally raised his hand slowly, patted Xue Yang's thin back, and said softly, "Okay, I'm fine." The person in his arms almost became stiff. A wooden stick, Xue Yang smiled, greedily took a few deep breaths of the faint fragrance of Xiao Xingchen's body, and then reluctantly let him go.

Xiao Xingchen suddenly asked: "What's wrong in the room...?" Xue Yang suppressed his smile, thought for a while, and said seriously: "There is a scent of lotus in that room, right?" Xiao Xingchen nodded .Xue Yang's face darkened, and he said, "Pingcheng is already a dead city. When I first came in, the whole place was damp after the rain and had a rotten smell. Why is the lotus fragrance stored in this room only? If it is the spice on Zhuo Qing's body, Then he should have dispersed after he left, why it became more and more intense? Presumably someone had expected that we would be attracted by Zhuo Qing's plea for help and enter the room, so he deliberately lit a kind of incense and placed it in the least noticeable place. place. Zhuo Qing is gone, we are still in the house, at this time, the incense is already burning vigorously, and it has played a role to achieve a certain purpose." Xiao Xingchen took a deep breath and slowly digested these words , tried hard to recall every detail from entering the house, and said very cautiously and carefully: "Then who do you think did it?" Xue Yang frowned, and said bitterly: "If according to what I said, there are two situations. One is that when Zhuo Qing entered the house, the murderer was already in the house and started to light the incense. When the wind closed the door, Zhuo Qing must have been frightened, and the murderer took the opportunity to stab him with a dagger under the table and escaped from the house. , the murderer must have something to do with Pingcheng. But it doesn't make sense, why the murderer didn't escape after devouring the city, but shrank in a room, lighting incense to confuse people's minds, and if Zhuo Qing didn't enter the house, so what? Therefore, this situation is not valid. Two..." Looking at Xiao Xingchen deeply, he said slowly: "This matter was done by Zhuo Qing. He first entered the room, closed the door, lit incense, and stabbed Xiao Xingchen with a dagger. He stabbed himself and shouted for help. After we entered the house and rescued him, he pretended to find an excuse to leave. Moreover, on the premise of ensuring that we would definitely enter the house, he already knew that we had entered the city." Xiao Xiao Xingchen was breathless when he heard that, recalling Zhuo Qing's insistence on taking the first step alone, he said in disbelief: "But why did he plot against us?" Xue Yang smiled suspiciously, and said treacherously: "Oh, come to think of it I'm afraid there are too many reasons." Xiao Xingchen's eyes were as bright as twinkling stars, fixedly looking at Xue Yang, with a faint smile on his lips, he still wondered, "Where is that fragrance hidden? "Xue Yang thought for a while, and replied: "Do you still remember the dagger by the table leg? I think the incense should be hidden behind the table leg, so we can't see it." Xiao Xingchen slowly put Xue Yang His reasoning and Zhuo Qing's various behaviors when he first entered the room, everything seemed very reasonable, the cause and effect, the ins and outs, everything became clear.He sighed lightly, and only then felt the blood flow back a little bit.Xue Yang caught a glimpse of his devastated expression, couldn't bear it, took the man's arm, and said in a very friendly tone: "It's okay, Daoist. As long as you don't drive me away, I will always be with you and won't let you get hurt." Yes." Xiao Xingchen felt a surge of uneasiness in his heart, he was deceived too deeply in his previous life, it hurt too much, and he suffered too much, so that after being reborn, he couldn't fully trust the boy beside him who had become much more docile.But after hearing this sentence, recalling the bits and pieces after rebirth, even if Xin Dao cheated and tricked him again, he couldn't restrain his heart for him.As if tasting a glass of fine wine, although I know that I have to be wary of its poison, I still can't stop it.So he turned his midnight-like eyes, full of emotion, and smiled softly: "Well, I believe in you." After finishing speaking, he took out a golden caramel from his sleeve, and held it carefully in his palm: "Here you are." of."

Xue Yang hadn't eaten a single candy in the past few days, and when he suddenly saw this little treasure lying in the hands of the person who thought about it day and night, it seemed as if he had returned to Yizhuang, where Xiao Xingchen put candy next to his pillow every day. day.The gloomy look in the eyes dissipated, and a layer of mist covered them: "...sugar".Seemingly uncertain, his expression was relaxed, and he smiled and said: "It's time to thank you." He took the candy lightly, and was reluctant to eat it for a while, but the man still looked at himself expectantly, in order not to let him eat it. Sweeping that person's interest, he gently held it in his mouth like a treasure, unwilling to bite it into pieces, and the sweet taste penetrated into his heart.

Xue Yang smiled: "Let's go, Taoist priest, let's go find something to eat together." Xiao Xingchen smiled and agreed. "Very sweet." As they were walking, Xue Yang suddenly said lightly. "What?" Xiao Xingchen asked.Xue Yang smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Sugar, it's very sweet." Xiao Xingchen heard that, there seemed to be thousands of stars shining in his eyes, tinged with a bit of sweetness, temporarily suppressing the shock in his heart Fear uneasy.

The sky was completely dark, and the thin stars were looming in the night sky covered by thick fog.

沼瘴

The sky is getting darker and darker, the clouds are bursting, and the wind is heavy. Fortunately, the moonlight penetrates the thick haze and sprinkles patches of clear and mottled light.Relying on his extraordinary eyesight, Xue Yang found a few small fruits on a dry tree full of dead branches and leaves, and stuffed them all to Xiao Xingchen.The further he walked, the more Xiao Xingchen felt that his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, but he couldn't see it through. It seemed that there was a very familiar fragrance of lotus flower in it.He always felt that there was a pair of deep and ironic eyes staring at him in the dark beside him.Feeling more and more apprehensive, frightened and uneasy, he hurriedly turned his head and said, "Xue Yang!"

But there was no shadow of Xue Yang beside him.

"Da, da, da..." came the sound of unhurried steps behind him, the interval between each step was exactly the same, like a precise timing instrument, but to Xiao Xingchen, it sounded more like a wolf Slowly cornering his prey, which he has no escape from, into a corner with ease.

Accompanied by the very thin lotus fragrance, the pace stopped suddenly.

Xiao Xingchen froze in place for a long while, his back fluctuating from hot to cold, holding Shuanghua tightly, took a deep breath, and turned his head slowly, slowly.Seeing the person coming, Xiao Xingchen was stunned.

I saw Song Lan wearing a ghostly black shirt fluttering in the treacherous and treacherous wind. He stood firmly in place, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, blending with the strange night sky.
