The Devil is My White Moonlight

The evening came soon, and the aunt at the door brought dinner.After the two had eaten, Gu Qingqiao came to the porter with the used bowls and chopsticks.The pig demon aunt saw him, took the bowl and chopsticks with a smile, and asked, "Why are you here, where is your sister?"

Gu Qingqiao had an obedient look, "My sister didn't sleep during the day, but now she feels sleepy, so she lay down after eating."

The aunt met Mu Xiyun twice during the day, and she really liked this beautiful and quiet girl. When she heard that she fell asleep so early, she asked worriedly: "Is she okay, is she sick?"

"It's okay," Gu Qingqiao replied, "My sister is always in good health, but I've been too tired these two days." After speaking, he covered his mouth and yawned, "I slept during the day, I still feel sleepy now."

Seeing him yawning again and again, the pig demon couldn't help feeling sleepy, and after sending Gu Qingqiao away, he carefully locked the door and went back to his hut.

Gu Qingqiao returned to the room, and the two of them arranged a blinding barrier in the room, and slipped out through the back window.

As the sky darkened, the lights in the city gradually came on.The whole city seemed to have just woken up, and gradually began to get angry.

There was laughter, and a group of children ran out of the yard, playing some kind of game, chasing each other in the street, so happy.

There were only children on the street, and Mu Xiyun, an adult, looked very abrupt. After discussing with Gu Qingqiao for a while, Gu Qingqiao swaggered down the street, while Mu Xiyun rolled onto the roof, followed from a distance, and carefully hid Follow the trail.

"Hey, who are you? Why haven't I seen you?" A ten-year-old child saw Gu Qingqiao and asked.

"Me?" Gu Qingqiao smiled, "I'm new here."

"New here? No wonder I didn't see you this morning?"

Not knowing why the child emphasized the morning, Gu Qingqiao had no choice but to make nonsense: "That's because you missed it."

"Okay," the child said like a grown-up, "you are very brave. You are walking on the street alone. There are several others in our yard who have been crying since they came back from the big house. Now they don't come out to play."

Gu Qingqiao was at a loss, but he was afraid of being exposed, so he chose some simple words and said: "I have always been very courageous, how about you?"

"Me? This place is pretty good, and you can play with your friends," the child puffed out his chest, "what's there to be afraid of?"

"Then where are you from?" Gu Qingqiao asked.

With a blank expression on the child's face, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "Hey, why don't I remember?"

While the two were talking, the child in front called out: "Qing Pi, what are you doing, are you still coming?"

The kid named Qingpi shouted: "Here we come, here we come." Turning around, he said to Gu Qingqiao: "Come and play with me when you have time!" After speaking, he ran away quickly and joined the group of children.

"Big house...in the morning." Gu Qingqiao was thoughtful.

The two of them walked around the street in the light and in the dark, but saw nothing but all kinds of children.

Fearing that they would be discovered after going out for too long, the two quietly sneaked back to the small courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was still locked tightly, and the pig demon aunt had already fallen asleep, snoring loudly.

When the two returned to the room, Gu Qingqiao said: "It's strange to say, the child who talked to me today heard that I'm new here, and they all mentioned arriving in the morning and the big house, is it the rule here to enter the city in the morning? Where is the big house? We have walked around the city, but we haven't seen any big houses!"

"And they are very at a loss about their origins," Mu Xiyun added, "It seems that they have lost their memories of the past after entering the city."

"How about we go out again tomorrow morning?" Gu Qingqiao asked.

"Okay!" Mu Xiyun nodded.This city is full of weirdness, but now there are only a few words as clues.

Mu Xiyun found the kitchen, boiled some hot water and went back to the house.The two washed up casually, Gu Qingqiao kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, smilingly said: "Sleep!"

Mu Xiyun watched him silently for a while, then took out a thin quilt from the cabinet, and prepared to spread it on the floor.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qingqiao jumped out of bed barefoot.

"Put on the floor!" Mu Xiyun said naturally.

"Don't worry, it's cold on the ground, you go to bed and sleep." Gu Qingqiao pressed his hand, "I'm the one who makes the floor."

Mu Xiyun smiled and said, "How can there be a sister who sleeps on the bed by herself and lets the younger brother sleep on the floor?"

Gu Qingqiao followed his gaze to see his little hand, and smiled awkwardly: "Then you don't dislike my brother, a sister who doesn't sleep with him!"

Looking at Mu Xiyun's troubled gaze, Gu Qingqiao puffed up his small chest: "A man doesn't care about trifles, what's the point of sharing a bed with two men? Don't worry, I sleep very honestly. You come to bed, we are half of each other, I promise not bother you."

People say that they keep their promises and get fat, and sure enough, he eats up his words in less than an hour.

Mu Xiyun looked at the body of the child rolling into her arms, and sighed silently.With a sly smile on the little boy's tender face, he was always happy in his dreams.

……

The end of the ugly time is the darkest hour before dawn.Gu Qingqiao and Mu Xiyun opened their eyes at the same time.

At the gate of the city in the distance, the sound of a carriage could be heard faintly.The sound was extremely far and light, but it couldn't hide from the practitioner's keen sense of hearing.

The two got up quietly, rearranged the barrier of the house, and turned out of the courtyard again.

It was the moment when night and dawn were handing over, and the city became quiet.The vast fog drifted on the street, and the sound of horseshoes came from the gate of the city, slowly emerging from the fog.

It was a flatbed car with a solid wooden cage.Inside the wooden cage, seven or eight children were bruised and sitting in the wooden cage, lifeless.

One after another, there are more than a hundred carriages, and in each carriage, there are more or less sitting and lying children under the age of ten.

Another row of wooden cages passed in front of Gu Qingqiao's eyes, he suddenly took a step back in surprise, several children in the cage were clinging to each other, the tallest one was the Qingpi who had a conversation with him the day before yesterday!

Mu Xiyun frowned, unfolded the Duyun Jue, and quickly swept forward.Not long after, he flashed back again, pulling Gu Qingqiao, using the thick fog to cover his figure, and walked towards the front of the convoy.

"I checked the convoy again just now. The driver of the third car is the same person as the driver of the seventh car."

"the same person?"

"Yes, but different ages."

"Why is that?"

"If I'm not mistaken, what we saw was the carriages that have passed here for more than ten years, and the children in each carriage were kidnapped and brought here."

"Then they are..."

"I have an idea, and I need to verify it." Mu Xiyun said: "Come on, let's go to the front.

Gu Qingqiao turned his head and glanced at the convoy again.The wooden cage was looming in the dense fog, and the children's pale faces and scars all over their bodies were shocking.

The leading carriage stopped slowly, and at the end of the road, a large open space appeared.A huge three-story pavilion appeared in front of my eyes.

The adults in the car got out of the car, urged the children to get up, and drove them into the pavilion one by one.

Gu Qingqiao glanced at Mu Xiyun, and made a gesture to point to the children's queue.Mu Xiyun nodded and walked to the gate.

The children in another carriage got out, and the driver stood at the end of the line.Taking advantage of the dense fog, Gu Qingqiao quietly stepped into the line from the side and stood between the two children.

Followed into the gate, the inside was dim, and only dimly saw small compartments all around.The children were led from room to room like cattle being herded.The driver locked the door, turned and left.

From the wooden cage to the room, it's just a change from one place to another, life is still hopeless, and there is only numbness and despair on the children's faces.

Gu Qingqiao didn't enter the room, he quietly walked along the wall, passed each door, and passed the dim faces.

At the end of the room is the upward staircase, where there is darkness, as if everything, even light, has been swallowed up, and there is nothingness.

In the darkness, Gu Qingqiao's shoulders were gently embraced, and Mu Xiyun had already sneaked in.

"What's going on here?" Gu Qingqiao reluctantly used his spiritual power to transmit his voice: "How can there be such a building, where there is no light everywhere."

Mu Xiyun patted him on the shoulder and took a few steps up the stairs, but suddenly stopped.Beyond the corner of the stairs, there was nothing but complete darkness and nothingness.

The two turned around, and suddenly, a thin cry of a woman came to their ears.

The voice seemed to originate far away outside the city, the voice was small but extremely clear, with infinite sadness and desolation in the tone, and it came out one after another: "My son, where are you?"

Slowly, another voice joined the crying.The third, the fourth, the fifth... The woman's crying gathered into a torrent of sound, crying blood, and the sound was astonishing.Shouting hoarsely resounded through the sky: "My son, where are you?"

The children in the pavilion shouted at the same time: "Mother, I am here!"

The two voices met in the air and crashed together.A huge force exploded, shattering the entire pavilion into pieces.

It was already bright, and the skylight came in, and the pavilion became a big house with carved beams and painted buildings, which was extremely exquisite.

The two quickly retreated into the corner of the room.

The children woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and stood up shaking their bodies.

One after another, black shadows floated into the house and came to the children.

The black shadows were all women, and some of them had clear images. After entering, they floated towards a certain child, and took his hand with a smile.Some have blurred faces, just a shadow, but also kindly, standing beside the children.

At some point in front of the people stood a woman, she was not beautiful, she just looked like an ordinary peasant woman, but the smile on her face made people feel very gentle.

She nodded to the children with a smile, and said softly: "You are home, and there will be no more pain and sorrow in the future. Go back."

The black shadows lowered their heads, pulled up the children, and each walked out of the house.

Looking through the window, the dense fog has disappeared, and the outside world has returned to the appearance of a mountain city.

The black shadow and the child quickly went out and entered every house, but the leading woman was still standing where she was, without moving.

The two quietly followed the last few children, preparing to go out.

"Two immortals," a woman's voice sounded from behind, "Why don't we have a good talk?"
