Chapter 72 Always here
The two then arrived at Zhishui Stream. The originally quiet Zhishui Inn was now crowded with people. They kept pointing and talking loudly.
"Look at how miserable they died! I don't know who committed this murder. This shopkeeper is usually a good person and never holds grudges with others. How could he end up like this?"
"I know, I know, I was eating here at noon, and then someone started fighting here. They must be trying to silence me."
"Then you saw it too, so you're not afraid of being silenced or something?"
"Bah, how can you talk? You..."
While everyone was discussing, someone exclaimed: "Master Song Xian and Miss Ji are here, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
They stopped talking and began to retreat to both sides, leaving a wide road. They were not polite and quickly walked towards the inn.
In front of him, a burly middle-aged man was slumped on the ground with a look of horror on his face. He was shaking all over and couldn't say a word. Opposite him lay the bodies of the shopkeeper and the waiter, both of whom were lying upright.
Next to the counter, his palms were raised to his shoulders in a grasping shape. There were obvious signs of strangulation on his neck. His tongue was hanging out and his eyes were wide open. He must have been terrified before he died.
Song Wangchen immediately squatted down and began to examine the cause of death of the deceased. However, he did not like to touch others, so he only took a cursory look and immediately stood up and affirmed: "There is a demon causing trouble." But he didn't know what kind of demon it was.
, he just felt the lingering evil spirit.
When the people outside the door heard him saying that there was a demon, they had already fled away. Only one or two brave people were left looking at the door, but they did not dare to make any sound for fear of disturbing Song Wangchen.
Thoughts.
Ji Nuan didn't ask any more questions. She knelt down and reached out to pick up the waiter's hand. She found some green objects in his fingernails. Seeing that they were also found in other nails, she immediately took some off and smelled it on the tip of her nose.
He smelled it, then rubbed it with his fingers, then stood up slowly and said, "It's a tree demon."
There was a look of approval in Song Wangchen's eyes. He knew that she had always been brave and kind, but he didn't know that she had such a careful side. Until now, he had thought that she was just a reckless person who would rush forward regardless of the consequences.
Girl, now I feel that she is always bringing new surprises to herself.
Seeing that he didn't say anything for a while, Ji Nuan just stared at her blankly, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you ask me how I know?"
"Fingernails, tree bark." Song Wangchen said the reason directly. Although he had not noticed it before, he had already noticed it when he saw what she was holding.
Ji Nuan originally wanted to show off in front of him, but when he saw what he said, she felt that it was too boring, and immediately pouted in displeasure. Just when she was about to say that he was stupid, the strong man stammered and shouted
: "Monster, monster, there are vines, so long..."
She immediately walked up to him and knelt down in front of him, and advised in an extremely gentle tone: "Brother, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, have you seen it, and what kind of monster is it?"
The strong man looked up at her, then up at Song Wangchen, swallowed, calmed down, and then slowly said: "I also saw that the waiter hadn't come to the kitchen to order food for a long time, so I was confused, so I walked out.
I came to the kitchen to have a look. I saw a very beautiful woman, her face turned into a wooden face, and then her hands turned into vines and wrapped around their necks..."
Song Wangchen finally understood that Zhu Xie's anomaly today was because there was a tree demon here, but he didn't notice it at all. He knew that the tree demon must have a high level of cultivation and was very good at playing with people's hearts.
Ji Nuan asked: "Then does she have any other characteristics, such as what color clothes she wears?"
The strong man thought for a while and then slowly replied: "I was too scared at the time and didn't notice what clothes she was wearing. Then, I fainted and when I woke up, there were a lot of people here.
People, then you came. By the way, I seemed to smell a strange fragrance."
Smell? Rouge or flower scent, maybe a woman has both! The two looked at each other, still confused, this tree demon was hiding too deeply.
Ji Nuan secretly thought about it, Kano, Demon Dao, Nightmare, and now there is a tree demon. It is not easy for Yueyang to have peace.
Song Wangchen stretched out his hand to stroke her frown and murmured, "You still look good when you smile."
Ji Nuan took his hand and barely smiled, hoping that everything would end soon.
After that, the two wandered on the street for another afternoon, but still gained nothing. At this time, Song Wangchen took her to Jingming Inn again.
Last time, she was in such a hurry that she didn't look at the name of the inn carefully. Mirror is bright, mirror is bright, but who can truly have a heart as clear as a mirror and as calm as water?
Because of his greed, Mo Feng wanted to get a hundred monks' hearts to ascend, so he did not hesitate to frame his brothers and sisters, and ultimately harmed others and himself, and he did not end well.
Because Kano was greedy and wanted to annex the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and because he wanted to annex the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he placed a curse on Yueyang. As a result, he harmed many innocent people. In the end, his plan was miscalculated and his crime was exposed. I am afraid that he is also hiding in Tibet now, and his life is not going well.
Not having a good time.
If they could all let go of their greed and keep their responsibilities, so many innocent people would not have died. There is no Bodhi tree, nor is the mirror a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust!
Song Wangchen saw that she had stopped, looked at her suspiciously, and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"
Ji Nuan calmed down, shook his head with a sweet smile, and entered the inn first.
The shopkeeper still greeted them respectfully, and then personally delivered the food to Song Wangchen's room, and then closed the door of his own accord. He listened outside the door for a moment before slowly turning around, with a smile on his face.
Secretly, Song Jue also saw the iron tree bloom one day, but he saw it with his own eyes, and then strode away with a proud step.
The two of them looked at the delicious food on the table in front of them and didn't say a word for a long time. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Although the two of them were alone not once or twice, but today they had just expressed their feelings to each other, and now they were alone and alone in the same room, so it was naturally different from the past.
"Eat quickly! I've been tired for a long day and even forgot to eat. I'm so hungry!"
Ji Nuan hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and picked up the peanuts in front of her, but because of her nervousness, she couldn't feed her to the corner of her mouth. The peanuts seemed to have a grudge against her, picking them up, dropping them, picking them up and falling again...
Song Wangchen suddenly picked up one and handed it to her mouth, staring at her blankly. She glanced at him, and when she opened her mouth, the peanut suddenly fell onto the plate. She was stunned for a moment, and then
chuckled.
"It seems that these peanuts have a grudge against me. They don't want to put them in my mouth. And..."
Song Wangchen had already picked up a peanut, held it gently with his lips, and then fed it into her mouth. She immediately left in horror, looked at the handsome face close at hand, lowered her head and chewed the peanut in her mouth.
A blush crept up onto her cheeks again.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yes." Ji Nuan nodded. From the corner of his eye, he saw that he had sat up straight, holding vegetables for himself without changing his expression. Then he slowly raised his head and saw that the bowl was already filled with vegetables. He didn't know it for a moment.
How to do it.
Tang Siyan said that she looked like a female man. If she ate and drank without scruples like before, would it be too shameful? But if she was asked to deliberately coy and pretend to be full after just two bites, she wouldn't be able to do it.
arrive.
"Want to feed?"
He raised his head and saw that Song Wangchen was still looking at him seriously. He immediately shook his head like a rattle, grabbed the bowl and started eating, and the so-called image was already forgotten.
A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face, and he continued to hold dishes for her. Soon, almost all the dishes on the table were cleared away, and he only took a few bites.
"Hiccup" was the sound of a full burp. Ji Nuan immediately covered her mouth with both hands and turned away in embarrassment. It was really embarrassing.
Song Wangchen seemed as if he hadn't heard anything, and the expression on his face didn't change at all. He stood up, packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and sent them out himself.
After he left, Ji Nuan touched her slightly bulging belly. Her face was full of sorrow. She was so nervous just now that she didn't even notice that she was full. Why did she feel that her IQ plummeted in front of him, and she almost felt uncomfortable.
Lost it?
She tiptoed to the bedside and touched the neatly folded quilts on the bed. She remembered that she had been lying on the bed where he had slept, and she smiled unknowingly.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of Song Wangchen's footsteps. She hurriedly ran back to her original position and sat down, pretending to be calm and maintaining her original posture, while her heart began to beat wildly.
It had already darkened, and the room gradually became dim. Song Wangchen walked into the house slowly, closed the door, and then walked towards her.
'Thump thump thump...', her heart kept beating as if it was about to run out. It was getting closer and closer, and when she thought about what would happen next, she felt extremely nervous, but mixed with a little anticipation.
What? Walked right over, walked right over?
Song Wangchen took out the fire shaft and lit all the candles in the room. Then he slowly walked to her side and stood beside her. Seeing that she kept her head bowed and silent, he reached out and touched her head and murmured: "What's wrong? Where is it?"
Feeling uncomfortable?"
Too many things have happened recently, and the stronger she becomes, the more distressed he becomes.
"No, no." Ji Nuan turned away. She, who was always eloquent, stuttered a little. Fortunately, her red face was hidden in the dim yellow candlelight, otherwise, she would have been even more embarrassed.
Song Wangchen took a step forward, faced her again, squatted down, held her hand in both hands, put it to his mouth and lightly licked the back of it.
"Xiao Nuan, it's time to rest!"
Ah! Is it finally coming? What should I do? Should I accept it calmly, pretend to refuse, or give in half-heartedly?
I haven't figured it out yet! Song Wangchen had already stood up, picked her up, and then slowly walked to the bed, gently placed her on the bed, took off her shoes for her personally, and gently kissed her forehead.
After a moment, he covered her with a quilt and turned to leave.
What? This is gone. What does that little sense of loss in my heart mean?
Suddenly it occurred to me that he left like this last time, and then left without saying goodbye, and now, no, he will always be there as promised?
Song Wangchen suddenly stopped, lowered his head, and saw Ji Nuan holding his hand. He turned around and she was looking directly at him.
"Don't leave, stay. I'm afraid you'll leave me alone like last time..."
The pleading tone, the expectant eyes, and the twinkling tears in his eyes all made his heart twist like a knife. The last time he left without saying goodbye, it hurt her so much.
"If you don't leave, I will stay here with you!"
Song Wangchen immediately sat down, held her hand tightly, then touched her forehead lovingly, and murmured: "Go to sleep! I will always be there!"
Ji Nuan also grabbed his wrist tightly with her other hand, pulled it to her heart, smiled, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Song Wangchen saw that she was still smiling in her sleep, and couldn't help but smile too. This was the first time since his parents died that he truly felt the taste of happiness. That special taste was like chewing honey.
Generally, it was sweet to the heart. He leaned over and kissed her passionately on her lips.
