Shopkeeper and God

While saying, "Good boy, what do you want to eat tonight?" He took the enamel basin and put it on the table, looking at the rather clear water, with a satisfied expression on his face, he looked down at Chen Yiguang and asked "How about using this chicken soup at night?" The child cheered, and almost rushed to hug Lu Xing's thigh.When Baochen came out of the kitchen, he always had an expressionless face with a slightly complicated expression.

While a few people were gossiping like this, the rain in the sky gradually lightened.After all, it is also a heavy rain, and it will be over after a while.After the rain, the sweltering heat dissipated, and the air became a lot cooler. The plants in the pots of the patio were washed green and juicy by the rain, which was pleasing to the eye.

However, it hadn't been long before this pleasing sight was heard, only a burst of noise came from outside the door, and then the courtyard door was slammed open with a "bang".Chen Yiguang was so frightened that he yelled "Wow" and hid behind Lu Xing. The two adults were also taken aback. When they looked at the door, they saw two people stumbled in - to be precise, it was a woman with her back on her back. A man who had clearly fainted.

Both of them were drenched.The man was wearing a pitch-black suit, which should be the most neat and formal clothes, but at this time it was torn and cut several times, and because of the rain, blood and muddy water stained his whole body.The woman who came with him on her back was wearing silk and satin that obviously did not belong to this era. Her long hair looked like it was tied up in a beautiful bun, but it was also scattered by the rain at this moment, and the hairpins were hung obliquely on her head. of.Her disheveled and broken hair stuck to her bloodless and pale face, making her cheeks look even thinner.She looked over the several people in the hall with eager and longing eyes, bit her light-colored lips, and with a cruel heart, she knelt down on the stone slab full of rainwater with a "plop".

"My lord, my little girl is rude, but I beg you, please save Shi Lang!" The woman's voice was hoarse, with hopelessness in her sincerity.She kowtowed fiercely to the people in the hall a few times, then remembered something, and pulled off a hairpin on her head, not caring how many black hairs she broke, and held up the broken hair together He said, "This, is it enough to save Shi Lang's life?"

The rain hadn't stopped completely, and her hand holding the hairpin trembled slightly, and her bone knots turned white from the tight grip.However, it seemed that because her appearance was too sudden, no one in the hall responded to her for a while.As if to test her patience, after a long while, Lu Xing pushed Chen Yiguang who was behind him to Baochen's side, raised his hand to wipe the folds of his clothes, and just now took a step into the courtyard, braving the dripping rain , Step to the side of the woman.

The woman's eyes seemed to be locked on Lu Xing, she looked at him without blinking, her dark pupils were full of throbbing and desperate determination, when Lu Xing stood still in front of her, she He raised the hairpin in his hand again, eagerly hoping that Lu Xing could accept it immediately.

However, Lu Xing was unmoved. He sized up the embarrassing woman and the person she was carrying, and said unhurriedly: "My servant, Lu Xing, the owner of Qixie, dare to ask who the girl is."

The woman didn't seem to think that she had to sign up first, she was stunned for a moment, then said with trembling lips, "Xishan, Wanqing."

Lu Xing paused, looked at the fainted man, and asked, "Who is he?"

"...Shi Lang, Shi Chaoquan." Wan Qing frowned, but answered anyway.

"He's human." How could Lu Xing fail to see the difference between them?Wan Qing's eyes showed surprise, but since she had been exposed on the spot, she could only nod her head emphatically.

"Then which clan is the girl from?" Lu Xing didn't stop asking.Wan Qing's eyes clearly showed panic and unwillingness, but Lu Xing's expression was calm and firm, and he could not refuse.Wan Qing seemed to understand that she would not be able to escape today, and instead she said generously, "Xishan White Fox, Wan Qing."

After she finished speaking, Lu Xing fell silent, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze. He looked at Wan Qing for a while as if examining him, and then asked word by word, "Master Cang, are you... "

"Little girl brother." Wan Qing had an expression of resignation to death and a resolute immobility on her face.

Lu Xing almost lost his breath.

What kind of mountain god, you can't even look down on a younger sister, what use are you? !

No regrets at night (2)

However, Lu Xing's abdominal fear was nothing more than a tangled silence in Wan Qing's eyes, the corners of her mouth trembling in uncertainty, she finally called "Master", and the hand holding the hairpin did not drop.

Lu Xing took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and finally stabilized his emotions. Seeing Wan Qing's unflinching appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "Young lady is so persistent, it's hard for me."

When Lu Xing said this, Wan Qing could naturally hear what he meant. Her face was already pale from the rain, and now she was completely pale. The hand holding the hairpin trembled so violently that her voice was weak. , said: "Everyone says that as long as Qi Xie is given a corresponding price, the shopkeeper can accept any commission, isn't that true?" Her voice was full of doubts.

Lu Xing smiled, and said: "That's true, but..." He looked at Wan Qing and then at Shi Chaoquan, "I can't accept missions from unknown sources, not to mention that the girl has a noble status, and there are many Qi Xie here. You must be protected by Mr. Cang, little shopkeeper, but you must act cautiously, and I hope the girl will forgive me."

"He's not someone with unknown origins!" Hearing what Lu Xing said, Wan Qing felt anxious and opened her mouth, but it fell right into Lu Xing's arms.As soon as Wan Qing uttered these words, she realized that she had talked too much. Seeing Lu Xing smiling and waiting for her to continue, she fell silent, and finally sighed as if discouraged, and turned her head to look at the fainting man. The man, but his eyes revealed tenderness and happiness, and when he spoke again, his voice was lowered, and he said, "Shi Lang, he is my lover."

"The one you love?" Lu Xing fully understood this feeling.

"Yes." Wan Qing nodded, then looked up at Lu Xing again, and said, "Does the owner know about exorcists?"

The smile in Lu Xing's eyes disappeared. In this world where humans, monsters and gods coexist, Lu Xing naturally knows that the exorcist has the mission of balancing the three parties.But he didn't answer, just nodded at Wan Qing.Wan Qing continued: "Shi Lang is this year's demon extermination master stationed in Xishan. These demon extermination masters are said to be assisting elder brother, but in fact they are just eyeliners sent by humans to monitor. But... Shi Lang is different. , he is very responsible, polite, and caring about me. I like him, so I confessed to Shi Lang, and Shi Lang also agreed to be with me, and we will be together for a lifetime." At this point, Wan Qing paused , but his expression was a little sad, and he said again: "It's just that my brother doesn't agree with us being together. He said that monsters have different paths, that human life is short, and they are not good enough for me. He also said that I am not young, so I want to find me A good family. But I like Shi Lang, I love him, and I will be with him all my life...so, so...I told Shi Lang...we eloped."

Wan Qing didn't think it was an embarrassing thing to say at all, she was even very proud, but continued sadly: "But my brother was furious, and even ordered to hunt us down. He even said that he would kill Shi Lang again." Arresting me back, Shi Lang was injured so badly because of protecting me..." Wan Qing looked at her fainting lover beside her sadly, "Shi Lang was injured, I can only take him all the way to escape , and dodge those chasing soldiers who don’t know when they will appear. I went to many monster clinics, but when they heard my identity and my elder brother was a mountain god, no one dared to accept us. No one dared to accept us. Only one person dares to help me. Shi Lang has suffered such a serious injury, he is really dying, Mr. Shopkeeper... If you still refuse to help me, I... I really don't know what to do, Master shopkeeper..."

At the end of Wan Qing's speech, her voice was hoarse and sad, as if she could shed tears just by saying one more word.Lu Xing seemed unmoved by what he heard, and even shook his head with a smile when Wan Qing spoke the second half, then turned to look at the hairpin that Wan Qing had been holding up, raised his hand and slowly took it away He passed it and twisted it in his hand, squinting and laughing at the decorations on it.Wan Qing was still thinking about how to talk to Lu Xing, but when he saw him casually taking the hairpin from her hand, she didn't understand Lu Xing's intention for a while, but looked at him with a complicated expression, and didn't say anything again. say.

Lu Xing picked up the hairpin in his hand, turned it around a few times as if he saw something, and said, "Is this Diancui's handicraft? No... this black one...is it a merman scale?"

The color of the hairpin is not bright, and the shape is also dark blue, with silver as the base, embedded with blue and black embellishments.That blue hair emerald, needless to say, must be Diancui's handicraft.But the black looks unusual: when it is facing away from the light, it can't reflect any light, but when facing the light, it reveals white light like waves, and with a slight movement, the white light seems to be able to "crash" La" the ground moved, as if it were really running water.

Lu Xing had seen many amazing things in the world, but this was the first time he had seen it.The reason why Lu Xing was able to guess it was only because it was recorded in the store diary that he had received so many precious merman scales, and the description was almost exactly the same as the one in his hand.

Wan Qing showed a surprised expression, she didn't seem to expect that Lu Xing could guess it, but then she calmed down again, nodded, and said: "It's the shark scales, the scales of the black sharks in the East China Sea, they are left by my grandmother. thing."

Hearing what she said, Lu Xing nodded knowingly, and said with a smile: "Of course things are good things, saving lives
