"I've been waiting for you for a long time..." Gu Yixi looked at Wen Ranran with a calm expression, "The last meeting was a bit rushed, but what I said was serious!"
Wen Ranran didn't speak. She just glanced outside the door to make sure there was no one there, and then sat down at the table.
As he got closer, Gu Yixi seemed to have a pleasant scent of hibiscus.
Although this little girl is frail, after so many years, her mind is far incomparable to others, and of course, so is her face.
Wen Ranran's eyes twitched as she looked at the complete set of tea sets on the table. The small silver charcoal was placed under the stove. The copper kettle was boiling water. The tea leaves had been divided by a pair of slender hands.
When the water boiled, Gu Yixi slowly lifted the kettle, revealing a white arm tied with gauze but soaked with blood under the sleeve, which was particularly shocking to see.
Wen Ranran looked at Gu Yixi's calm eyes. Although she still didn't understand what the girl was thinking, she still felt sympathy in her heart.
Gu Yixi smiled, made tea with hot water, took out the tea urn, and placed a cup of scalding tea in front of Wen Ranran.
The movements are beautiful, but my hands are a little shaky.
"Here, try my tea-making skills!"
Wen Ranran pursed her lips, but didn't say anything. She took a slight sip.
"Last time you said...do you know where the things in Xia Liyuan's body came from and what happened?"
Gu Yixi was stunned for a moment, holding the tea cup without saying anything, but simply rolled up his sleeves.
The pair of forearms that should have been delicate and flawless were covered with countless old and new scars. The most serious ones were on the wrists. The long period of blood collection seemed to have damaged the muscles of her wrists. Therefore, even if she was making tea,
She also struggled to do the small movements.
"This has something to do with my scars!" Gu Yixi smiled bitterly, with a hateful but complicated light in his eyes.
"How to say?"
"Snowmelt Forest, you should know your destination this time, right?" Gu Yixi tilted his head slightly and looked at Wen Ranran.
"I know, what's wrong?"
"Six years ago, I went there too!" Gu Yixi's eyes exuded a complex light, "That's when we went to the depths of the forest to collect herbs... My brother was young and energetic at the time and was eager to become stronger. He must have
To find the golden tree deep in the forest..."
"The Golden Tree is said to grow under a complete golden lake. The water in the lake, soaked for an hour, can be worth a month of cultivation. My brother was anxious at the time, and he must bring people of his lineage with him.
Looking for it...In the end, we failed!"
Wen Ranran keenly noticed that when Gu Yixi said this, there was a look of fear in Gu Yixi's eyes.
"What did you see? Or, what did you experience?"
Wen Ranran stared at Gu Yixi closely.
Gu Yixi shook his head, "That's a...monster! It looks like a dog, but it has long hair... It has four legs, like a bear but without claws. It has eyes but can't see. It can walk but can't move. He just guards."
Outside that forest..."
Wen Ranran quickly turned over the mythical classics that she had seen since she was a child, and said uncertainly: "The vicious beast Chaos?!"
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he released a mouthful of mist. My brother was bitten by him. When he came back...he started to act strange when he came back. It was like he was possessed, and he became something like
Due to the existence of a vicious dog, in the end... he accidentally bit me once, but the restlessness in my body calmed down."
"Later, an old doctor said that he was possessed by a demon and needed to drink the blood of his loved ones all the time..."
Gu Yixi's voice was very low, but Wen Ranran couldn't help but frown.
"Then how are you sure that Xia Liyuan and your brother are in the same situation?"
