Zhou Ji knew through the feedback from the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead that Si Teng was not lying, but the other party obviously had an intention to tell him this so easily.

Si Teng said quietly: "If you agree to treat me as your master and obey my instructions, I will not be able to help you live forever."

"I can also kill you to retrieve the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead and find Xuanmen or other Yu clan to help me." Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, saying without hesitation.

"Okay, let's each take a step back." Si Teng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and nodded: "I can't live alone after you die, but I can kill you before I die. There is no benefit in fighting. It's better to cooperate with each other.

How about cooperation?"

"Actually, you don't need to test me like this. I don't like to be treated as a dog, nor do I like to enslave others to be a dog." Zhou Ji smiled slightly, sat down cross-legged, picked up the scattered blades of grass and knitted something in his hands, "Everyone

All lives are equal, at least I think so."

"I'm not a human being." Si Teng took a deep look at Zhou Ji and said with a complicated expression, "I am from the Yu clan."

"Does it matter?"

Si Teng hesitated for a moment, his eyes became more complicated, but there was a hint of warmth in the complexity. She could hear the sincerity in the other person's tone. There was no flattery or hypocrisy, but only respect for life. This respect.

Among all the tribes and tribes she met, she had never felt this before.

Si Teng looked at Zhou Ji's flipping fingers and said in a deep voice: "I need the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead to stay alive now, so I can't give it back to you. If you help me find someone, I can get rid of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead."

It will help you refine the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead and extend your life for thousands of years."

Without raising his head, Zhou Ji had already knitted most of the two straw sandals in his hands, and said with a smile: "Mutual benefit and win-win results are far better than intrigues. If people treat me with sincerity, I will treat others with sincerity."

After saying that, he threw the two women's shoes knitted in his hands in front of Si Teng, and wrapped two small flowers in front of them.

"Here~ put it on."

Only then did Si Teng notice that his bare feet were treading on the grass, and he was being stared at by the man in front of him.

Si Teng's heartstrings trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took a half step back and shrank his legs, then calmed down. Although his expression did not change, his eyes were full of suspicion.

Are you serious about taking half a step back?

Zhou Ji's eyelids jumped. He admitted that he was a face-controller, chest-controller, leg-controller, hand-controller, and foot-controller, but he was not a teddy with sperm in his head.

After all, he only controls the people he likes. If others are beautiful, they are beautiful, so what does it have to do with him.

However, he also somewhat understood Si Teng's psychology.

At least in ancient society or during the Republic of China, a woman’s feet were not allowed to be seen by men other than her husband. Even though the woman in front of her was from an ethnic group, her exquisite makeup and elegant dress could tell that she still cared about herself in her heart.

Treat her as a human woman, not an alien.

Zhou Ji groaned and turned around and said, "While it's still early, we have to find a place to stay. We can't delay in the mountains and forests any longer."

Si Teng put on shoes made of vine grass and followed Zhou Ji. The two petite wild flowers complemented each other with the faintly visible dots of cardamom on his toes. For a moment, Si Teng's steps became a little brisker.

Returning to the mountain road, the two of them went down the slope. Si Teng suddenly seemed to have thought of something and stopped suddenly: "You haven't told me what your name is yet? From now on, since it is already a relationship of equal cooperation and mutual assistance, at least the names must be communicated to each other.

For a moment?”

Zhou Ji slapped his forehead, came to his senses, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhou Ji, you can call me Mr. Zhou Ji."

"Stingy man." Si Teng knew that Zhou Ji was teasing her about her "call me Miss Si Teng", so he sneered and passed Zhou Ji with his head held high, without stopping.

"Proud woman." Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, picked up the sword case and let the other party lead the way, following behind Si Teng unhurriedly.

Since both of them had illegal accounts and had no ID cards or bank cards, they could not even insert a card into the mobile phone Zhou Ji bought temporarily.

So I could only find an unused residence near the ranch to stay temporarily.

Zhou Ji visited the spot in advance and asked the nearby Tibetans about the situation of this empty house. He learned that a family named Jia originally lived here. Later, the old man passed away and the children of the family also moved to other places. It has been ten or twenty years.

Never came back.

The house on the mountainside was dark. By the time the two found the old house, it was already dusk. Zhou Ji turned on the flashlight and emergency light bought at the market, bent a piece of iron and opened the door without any effort, and turned sideways.

Said: "I feel aggrieved for the time being. We can only live in this kind of place during this period of time."

Because the house had been sealed for too long, when the door was opened, dust rolled out under the beam of the strong light. Si Teng stretched out the back of his hand to slightly cover his nose, and said with a frown: "Don't you have a lot of red banknotes in your bag? Why?

Do you want to climb over the wall in a place like this?"

Hearing the undisguised emotion in Si Teng's tone, Zhou Ji spread her hands helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Hotels and hotels require registration of ID cards, and no matter how much money I have in my bag, I can't spend it..."

"

The ID card... sounds like the name should be similar to Lu Yin. Si Teng nodded and accepted the reason. He recalled Zhou Ji's actions of checking in, making excuses, opening locks, and avoiding police patrols. He hesitated for a moment.

He said: "Are you a criminal thief wanted by the government?"

Zhou Ji quickly shook his head, coughed slightly in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Actually... I am also a gangster."

Si Teng walked into the room speechlessly. She thought how great it would be if the person who woke her up this time was just an ordinary person. She could use her absolute force and confidence to make him a servant. Not only could she take the initiative, but she wouldn't have to

Hiding here and there like a thief.

It's a pity, how can mediocre ordinary people wake up a Yu clan who has been dead for eighty years?

In the end, such an assumption is nothing more than a false proposition that deceives oneself and others.

The night in the snowy area was very cold. As the sun completely set, a chill spread from the wilderness. Si Teng looked around and with a flick of his fingertips, the fireplace that had been extinguished for more than ten years in the corner of the room was lit again.

The warmth dissipated the slight chill of the night.

Zhou Ji closed the door. As soon as he turned around, he saw Si Teng standing blankly on one side of the room. When he got closer, he discovered that a somewhat yellowed portrait was hanging on the wall.

The portrait originated from the Republic of China period. The woman in the painting is wearing a plain cheongsam and high-heeled shoes with pearls on the upper. She has angry eyes, slightly raised thin lips, and a half-smiling expression that becomes more and more creepy the closer you look.

, although his appearance is similar to Si Teng, his expression and temperament are completely different.

What’s even more surprising is that the woman in the painting wears her hair in a married bun.

Zhou Ji is naturally not stupid enough to think that Si Teng is the woman in the painting, but both their appearance and Si Teng's reaction at the moment represent a special connection between the two.
