Huangquan Roadside Inn

Back at the inn, Baixi fetched a bucket of water from the well, and under Qingyu's gaze, took out the disfigured and dying little white worm in his arms, threw it into the basin, and poured the water into it.

The dying little white worm seemed to come to life the moment it saw the water, wagging its tail, and swimming happily in the water basin.

"Brother Baixi, what is this little thing? It's so cute." Qingyu stared at the little white worm swimming in the water for a moment, stretched out her hand to poke the little white worm's body, but Being kicked by the little white bug...

Qingyu's face froze, and she couldn't help looking sideways at Baixi: "It doesn't want me to touch it."

"Probably it doesn't like you." Bai Xi held back his smile, and reached out to touch the little white worm, but this time the little white worm not only didn't use his pedals, but showed his belly, intending to let Bai Xi touch it be more comfortable.

Qingyu's face was slightly pale, she snorted at the little white insect, stomped her feet, and went to the front hall to sort out the dead book.

Baixi squatted by the well and looked at the little white worm in the water basin. He stirred the water in the basin with his fingers and played with the little white worm. He couldn't help but smile: "This well is connected to the Wangchuan River. The water is weak, but I didn't expect you to swim so comfortably, it seems that you and my Hades are also predestined."

The little white bug wrapped his body around Bai Xi's fingers, looked up at Bai Xi, and stuck out his pink tongue.

Bai Xi was amused by the little bug's actions, reached out and tapped its head lightly: "If you like me so much, I won't leave you behind. I'll eat every bite from now on... I don't eat , Forget it, I will raise you in the future, and I will definitely raise you up."

The little white bug rubbed his head against Bai Xi's fingertips, then let go and fell into the water, diving to the bottom without moving.

Bai Xi thought that the old man caught it with a fishhook before, and it should be injured. Although he healed it with magic power, he should have a rest after playing for a while, so he couldn't help laughing road:

"Seeing that you like to stay in the water, you can stay here. However, I can't call you a little thing. I will give you a name, um... you are all white, so you are called Xueya, remember?" , you have a name, Xueya."

Bai Xi stretched out his hand and poked it on the head, but the little white worm seemed to understand Bai Xi's words, looked up at Bai Xi for a while, then nodded, and then dived to the bottom.

Bai Xi was taken aback, what did he see just now, Xiaobai Chongzi nodded?

This little white bug can understand him?

Bai Xi smiled, then stirred the water in the basin, got up and left.

After raising Xueya, Baixi seems to have given up drinking. She usually wears a wine jug around her waist, but it has disappeared in the past two days. If she comes over, Baixi will take care of Xueya in the backyard.

Baixi squatted on the edge of the well, put the water basin on the edge of the well, held a vegetable in his hand, tore off a small leaf at a time and threw it into the water, waiting for Xueya to float to the surface and eat the vegetable leaves.

"Well, do you eat meat? It's not good to eat green vegetables. I'll buy you a chicken for you to eat tomorrow." Bai Xi said with a smile while holding up the vegetable leaves and looking at Xueya in the water.

Hearing that there were chickens to eat, Xueya grinned, but she didn't expect a row of small teeth to be stained with green vegetables.

Bai Xi froze for a moment, then slapped his legs and laughed loudly: "Xueya, Xueya, don't laugh, there are vegetable leaves on your teeth."

Hearing what Bai Xi said, Xueya immediately closed her mouth, dived into the water, and lay motionless on the bottom of the basin, as if she was shy.

Bai Xi reached out and poked Xue Ya's back: "Hey, you're a girl, are you still shy?"

Xueya ignored him, Bai Xi poked him again, but Xueya still ignored him.

Bai Xi sighed, put the vegetable leaf on the water surface, watched it sink to the bottom, covered Xueya's body, then got up and said: "Xueya, you should eat well, and when you grow up, you will be the best." Well, I can't be lazy and let Qingyu do it alone, just be good, and I'll buy you chicken tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xueya poked her head out from under the vegetable leaves to look at Baixi, and then got down again.

Bai Xi smiled, fixed the water basin, just got up, and heard Qingyu's urgent call, Bai Xi quickly turned around and walked quickly to the front hall, only to see Qingyu helping a ragged man sitting in the hall in the chair.

The man was covered in wounds, and he was dying at this moment. After Qing Yu helped him sit up, luck healed him.

"What's going on?" Bai Xi asked suspiciously.

After Qingyu healed the man, she let him rest on the chair, then turned her head to look at Bai Xi and said: "A name suddenly appeared in the death record just now, and he appeared after that, but he fainted The first sentence before the fall was to save lives, I feel a little strange, he is already dead, but this soul is seriously injured and dying, this is too strange."

Bai Xi stretched out his hand to catch the pulse of the man, and some things that the man had experienced before flashed before his eyes. He shuttled through the forest, but looked back full of fear from time to time, and behind him was a cloud of black smoke following him .

Bai Xi withdrew his hand, and the dying Yang Si opened his eyes. Seeing the two young men in front of him, he stretched out his hand, "Help...help me."

"It's safe here, no one will hurt you." Bai Xi said seriously.

Yang Si looked around at the furnishings in the inn, and then breathed in relief.

"Hey, what's the thing by the well, the leaves are eaten with relish." The ferryman He Qiu came out from the backyard, but looked back at the little white worms in the water basin on the edge of the well from time to time.

"That's brother Baixi's son." Qingyu said hastily.

"Yo, I haven't seen Baixi for a few days, you have already raised a son, you are amazing." He Qiu, who was wearing a black round collar robe, walked towards this side, bowed his hands to salute Baixi, but was slapped by Baixi In his hand:

"Don't talk nonsense, look, what's going on with this man."

"This person should be Yang Si, from Ruoshui Town." He Qiu spread out the book of life and death in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then put it away.

"It's...it's me." Yang Si looked at He Qiu in surprise, not knowing why.

"Okay, come with me, go where you should go." He Qiu reached out and patted his shoulder, then reached out and put the soul lock chain on Yang Si's hand.

And Yang Si was still a little stunned, got up and followed He Qiu's pace, walked into the backyard, and crossed the gate of the underworld.

"What did you see just now?" After waiting for Heqiu to leave, Qingyu took Guaibaixi's shoulder and asked curiously.

Bai Xi looked sideways at Qing Yu and smiled mysteriously: "This soul injury is strange, and the black smoke chasing him is not weak, so I'm afraid it's a bit tricky."

Qingyu frowned deeply, recalling carefully that when Yang Si's soul arrived at the inn just now, there was indeed a cloud of black smoke outside the inn, but it just passed away. He was not sure at first, but now he heard Bai Xi say that he was sure of himself The black smoke I saw just now was the black smoke chasing Yang Si.

"Trouble is none of our business, we just need to keep an eye on the gate of the inn." Bai Xi patted Qingyu's shoulder, grinned, and then left the inn, ready to buy a tender chicken for Xue Ya's body.

In the backyard of Huangquan Inn, Xueya in the water basin wagged its tail in the water, crawled out along the edge of the water basin, and fell to the ground with its feet empty.

His snow teeth were covered in mud, he looked up at the stars all over the sky, sniffed the faint scent of Baixi in the air, and started to crawl towards the front hall.

Xueya hid in the corner, looking at Qingyu behind the counter who carefully checked the record book, and continued to smell the smell of Baixi, his smell became stronger and stronger, it seemed that it was near here.

Xueya intentionally failed to see Qingyu, and walked towards the stairs with big strides. She didn't stop until she saw Baixi, and then continued to climb.

Bai Xi sat on the railing with his hands on his knees, resting his cheeks and closing his eyes, and fell asleep. The hairpin of his curly hair was changed from the silver hairpin given by Bai Ci to the original hollow silver hairpin. On the chest, the bright red marks between the eyebrows are extraordinarily beautiful.

Xueya stopped at Bai Xi's feet, staring at Bai Xi's face obsessively, then bit the hem of his clothes, climbed up to Bai Xi's legs along the clothes, retracted into his arms, and coiled into a Xiaoquan, fell asleep peacefully.

until……

He Qiu's voice sounded in the backyard again, and Bai Xi woke up when he heard Xueya's disappearance. Looking at He Qiu and Qingyu standing in the hall, Bai Xi jumped down with outstretched arms, and landed steadily in the hall:

"What did you say, Xueya is gone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a numbness in his arms. He Qiu and Qingyu looked towards Bai Xi's chest in surprise. Bai Xi immediately took a step back, but the moment he lowered his head, he found Xue Ya His little head stuck out from his arms, and a pair of eyes stared straight at Bai Xi.

Only then did Baixi heave a sigh of relief, and patted Xueya's little head: "It's okay, I thought you fell into the well. If you fell into the Wangchuan River, I really don't know how to catch it." you."

Xueya rubbed Bai Xi's fingertips, and then continued to hide in Bai Xi's arms.

"This little guy is quite interesting." He Qiu looked at Xueya for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Baixi: "You are so worried about him, are you going to take him to Ruoshui Town next time?"

"Go to Ruoshui Town?" Bai Xi was shocked.

He Qiu stretched out his hand, and a letter of appointment approved by Yama of the Ten Palaces suddenly appeared in his palm: "Yang Si, who is ferrying today, is from Ruoshui Town. In Ruoshui Town, there is a cultivating Shura who slaughtered the city. He only lives by sucking souls. Cultivation, this Yang Si also spent a lot of effort to escape."

"Let me go to Ruoshui Town to deal with Shura?" Bai Xi pointed at himself in disbelief.

"No, this is done by a Class B ferryman, and the ferryman sent to Ruoshui Town this time is newly promoted. The higher-ups are afraid that he won't be able to deal with Shura, so they want you to help him." He Qiu's brows and eyes were crooked, with a smile on his face.

Bai Xi took over the appointment from He Qiu, thinking about his status as a Class C ferryman at the moment, he was originally an assistant to the Class B ferryman.

"Okay, when are we leaving?" Bai Xi asked.

"It's not until tomorrow at the latest, when he comes back to look for you." He Qiu said with a smile, after conveying Yan Luo's order, he stretched out his hand to pinch Qingyu's face, and then left contentedly.
