The Demon of the Tibetan Moon

?The next morning, I was aroused by the sound of firecrackers. When I opened the door, I saw that the outside was already covered with snow, and there was a thick layer of snow on the roof and branches. It turned out that it had been snowing all night.Outside the yard came the sound of children laughing and playing, and the sound of brooms rubbing against the ground while sweeping snow.After experiencing those involuntary, I feel that the ordinary days are so precious.

When Lu Li opened the courtyard door, he saw Mrs. Li sweeping the snow and was about to reach the courtyard entrance on his side. He immediately felt very embarrassed, so he rushed forward and took the broom in her hand.

"Aunt Li, let me come, let me come."

"Hey, so I'm the one who cleans up this yard, I'm used to it." Mrs. Li looked at Lu Li with an expression that seemed hesitant to speak.

Just as Lu Li was about to ask what's the matter, Mrs. Li took off the gloves and handed them to Lu Li, "Oh, don't freeze your hands in the cold weather, just sweep it, I'm going back to cook."

The gloves were worn out and not very clean, but the temperature on them was warm.

When he came back from sweeping the snow, Qingtan huddled under the blanket with his eyes open and refused to get up, so Lu Li had to relight the charcoal fire, and the room was warmer before Qingtan finally got up to get dressed.

Baked the rest of the buns on the burning charcoal fire, the outer layer is golden, one bite must be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the soft white porridge still simmering on the fire, it is delicious to eat in such cold weather Warm all over.Qing Tan was holding the porcelain bowl, when she raised her head, a thin layer of sweat oozed from her forehead, which was wiped off by Lu Li with a handkerchief, then she lowered her head and continued to drink.

It's freezing outside, but the warmth in the room makes one can't help thinking that this will continue like this forever.

The first day of the lunar new year is the day to visit relatives. People come and go outside, people wear new clothes, and congratulate each other when they meet, beaming with joy.When the weather was fine, the snowman built by the children under the willow tree in front of the door gradually turned into a pile of snow, and then turned into a small pool of water stains, and finally disappeared without a trace, but remained in the memory of those children.

From the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, there was the Lantern Festival. Mrs. Li said that this was the busiest time of the year in Leizhou City. It lasted for nine days, but every day there were still crowds of people on the street.

Of course, the bustling is not only because of the lanterns with different shapes and bright colors, but also because of the overcrowding of various stalls.Those gadgets are certainly good, but Lu Li and Qingtan obviously prefer all kinds of snacks, try a little of each, and after walking half a street, their stomachs are already full.

Lu Li rubbed his swollen stomach, "It's getting late, let's go to a place where there are few people and then go back."

"Ah."

Walking along the path in the direction of silence, the lights are gradually left far behind.Lu Li looked sideways at the people around him, reached out and held his hand, feeling a little cold.Qing Tan held Lu Li back, turned her face and smiled slightly.Obviously, I have kissed and hugged before, but this is the first time for me to walk holding hands like this, and it also makes people feel blushing and heartbeating.

The smile on the corner of his lips froze suddenly, Lu Li frowned and covered his head.Because of a sudden shrill and high-pitched cry, it was the sound of a demon, ordinary people would not hear it, but Lu Li was extremely sensitive.Subconsciously, he took down the sword on his back and clenched it, and the other hand holding Qingtan also clenched it.

Qing Tan frowned, "Zhu Huai."

Lu Li looked at Qingtan in some surprise, obviously he heard the voice just now, so let's not think about why Qingtan made such a judgment.It's just that the bosom that Qingtan mentioned is a kind of ancient fierce beast, but wasn't the ancient thing extinct thousands of years ago?Lu Li frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.If the appearance of Chi Lian was an accident, it is still uncertain what the powerful spiritual power I sensed in the forest last time was, but if the thing this time is really Zhu Huai, it would be too much to encounter monsters that should disappear one after another like this. Not normal anymore.

"If it's really Zhu Huai, everyone around here will suffer. Shall we go and have a look?"

Qingtan nodded in agreement, and the two walked together in the direction the voice came from.Gradually, the perceivable spiritual power became more and more abundant, and a black figure in the forest not far away could be seen faintly, with a figure like a bull, but with four horns, which was bigger than three or four cows combined.

There is a record in the "Bei Shan Jing": "On the mountain of Beiyue, there is a beast, which is shaped like a cow with four horns, human eyes, and pig ears. Its name is Zhu Huai, and its sound is like a wild goose. It is a man-eating beast."

Is this really Zhu Huai?Just as he was hesitating whether to go forward again, the thing turned around, and a pair of golden eyes shaped like human eyes stared in the direction of the two of them.Lu Li thought it was about to attack, so he quickly drew his sword to guard against it, but the thing made a low whimpering sound, which sounded like it was frightened, and then it really spread its hoofs and ran in the opposite direction, bumping into many small trees along the way. .

Lu Li scratched his head in doubt, thinking that he wasn't that powerful, so he scared them away before getting close.Before I had time to think about it, I saw something on the ground in front of me. When I looked closely, it seemed that someone was lying there.

Lu Li put his sword back into its sheath, walked forward quickly, and found that the man looked very familiar, but why did he appear here?

Lu Li knelt down and patted him on the shoulder, "Su Zhuangyuan, Su Zhuangyuan?"

Su Junqian moved his eyelashes, opened his eyes slowly, and showed a puzzled look for a while, "Why are you here?"

We are the ones asking you, Lu Li secretly said, but his face was serious, "This is Leizhou, we will stay here for the time being."

"Leizhou?" Su Junqian sat up and rubbed his temples, "Why am I here?"

"It's too late, do you have a place to live? If not, go back with us first, the forest may be dangerous."

"Well, I really have nowhere to go now, please take care of me for a night, thank you."

Su Junqian stood up, swaying unsteadily, Lu Li hurriedly supported him, and helped him all the way back to the rented yard.

Before, Mrs. Li cleaned two rooms and brought two sets of quilts, but Qingtan was afraid of the cold, so she slept with Lu Li all the time, and the other room was empty, so it was a coincidence that Su Junqian came.

He helped him onto the bed, brought water for washing, soaked the towel and handed it over, "It's too late now, please feel sorry for it and wipe it casually, let's rest for a night if you can survive."

Su Junqian took the towel and wiped his face, but didn't answer, his eyes were full of confusion.

Lu Li thought for a while, then poured another pot of water and put it beside the bed, "Drink it when you're thirsty, and call me if you need something."

It wasn't until Lu Li left and closed the door that Su Junqian blinked, and the daze in his eyes dissipated, and he was completely clear.

"What a kind boy."

When returning to the room, Qingtan was opening the door, and when she saw Lu Li coming back, she turned and went back.

Lu Li closed the door and posted it with a smile, "Baby, are you waiting for me?"

Qing Tan nodded, turned around and hugged Lu Li.Lu Li patted him on the back, thinking that he didn't drink today, could it be that Qingtan drank secretly by himself?But I heard a low voice coming from my ear.

"Don't take care of other people."

Lu Li was stunned for a while, only to realize that his heart was beating so fast because of these words.Ever since he made up his mind, Lu Li didn't even say a word of liking. At first, he couldn't say it, but later he couldn't help but want to kiss and hug him. It seemed that he didn't need a word.But now he really wants to tell Qingtan how much he likes him.

Lu Li held Qingtan's shoulders, pushed him away, and looked into those too clear eyes, "Qingtan, baby, I haven't told you how much I like you yet. But... now even myself It doesn't seem to be clear either. Can you understand?"

Qingtan raised his lips, and instead of a faint, almost imperceptible smile, he lightly kissed Lu Li's cheek, and then leaned closer to Lu Li's ear.

"I understand. I like you too."

The door was blown open by a gust of wind, the cold wind poured in, and the lips that were about to stick were separated.Lu Li closed the door and locked it, secretly cursing the wind of this damn bad guy and good deed.

After blowing out the candle, the two lay down side by side with their eyes open.The corners of Lu Li's lips raised unconsciously, sweetness and throbbing surged in his heart, thinking that he must have done too many good things in his previous life to meet his baby, and just heard him say that he likes him.

But at the same time, the faint uneasiness that had been dormant in his heart gradually emerged and became more and more obvious.In fact, it has nothing to do with Qingtan's identity, Lu Li is just afraid, or has an inexplicable feeling: once he knows Qingtan's identity, he will no longer belong to him.

Since meeting Qingtan, too many incredible things have happened.The vision of that night, the almost terrifying swordsmanship that I saw with my own eyes, the statue of the sea god in the mountain.As for Zhu Huai who was scared away today, it was obvious that it wasn't himself that was afraid, it was Qing Tan.

Lu Li turned his head to meet Qingtan's eyes, hesitated for a while before asking, "Did you remember something?"

"No."

The sky was dark, Lu Li couldn't see the hesitation in Qingtan's eyes, and continued to ask, "How do you know it's Zhu Huai?"

"I do not know."

Lu Li turned his head and frowned. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. This was probably the first time since the two met. Even when Lu Li talked to himself at first, he never felt embarrassed.Unable to tell what was going on in his heart, after a long silence, Lu Li found that his hand was being held.Soft, slightly cool, is the touch of green sandalwood hands.

"Land from?"

There was some cautious temptation in this sound, and an inexplicable emotion grew in Lu De's heart, which was similar to distress but more like guilt.From the very beginning, it was me who babbled endlessly, and it was me who was selfish enough to say that I liked it.Originally, I thought those scripts were hypocritical, but after all, is it really like this when people fall into love?

Lu Li turned around and looked at Qing Tan, and held his hand on his chest, wanting to say all the things in his heart that he felt were difficult to say.

"Baby, guess when I started to like you." Without waiting for Qingtan's response, Lu Li continued on his own.

"I know that I like you because of a dream. In the dream, I took you home. Grandpa made a table of my favorite dishes but refused to let me eat them. He said he wanted to bring his wife back, so I pushed you away." Go forward and say this is my daughter-in-law..." At this point Lu Li stopped and smiled, "Then when I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was never a time when I didn't like you."

From the astonishment at the first glance, the secret regret that Qingtan is not a girl, to the later distress, the unconscious desire to take care of and protect, and now the uncomfortable feeling of liking to fear.

Qing Tan leaned forward and kissed Lu Li's lips, as if he could feel the uneasiness in Lu Li's heart, this kiss carried some consolation.Lu Li hugged Qingtan, and smiled a little foolishly. A shallow kiss seemed to have such a powerful magic power, and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared immediately.

After embracing each other quietly for a while, Lu Li suddenly said, "I feel a little strange about one thing. Chi Lian and Zhu Huai are both ancient monsters. They disappeared in the first place, but now they suddenly appear one after another. Also last time That talking monster in the woods on the border of Haizhou, did you hear what it said?"

Qing Tan turned over and hugged Lu Li, "Sleepy."

"Then go to sleep."

Lu Li lowered his eyes and patted Qingtan on the back. These things all happened after Qingtan appeared. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was a connection, but Qingtan's attitude seemed to be avoiding this topic?

Lu Li sighed, and tried to put these thoughts aside. The life he lived before taught him how to have fun while suffering, and he also knew not to ask for trouble.At least compared to before, it is still barely stable now, with food, drink, shelter and beautiful women in his arms.Thinking like this gradually made him sleepy, Lu Li closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

The person beside him opened his eyes again, raised his hand to caress Lu Li's face, and heard him mutter "baby" indistinctly, and his frowning brows relaxed a little.
