Meng Yunzhong stayed with me in the wooden house until dusk, and then left. Because You Ruojun was still very weak, he couldn't sit back and ignore it. But this was finally a good start. I wonder what would happen if You Ruojun knew about it.
reaction?
I took the opportunity to go back to the small building and look at Yunjin. It originally thought that I would come back very late, so it seemed very excited. Even it seemed to feel the fluctuations in my mood, so it had a good time playing with me.
At night, the town sheds its hustle and bustle during the day and returns to its former tranquility. Residential houses line the streets quietly, with occasional candlelight, but it still cannot cover up the deep sleepiness.
I sneaked into Meng Jun Villa again and found Meng Yunzhong's room. I lingered outside the door and looked at his sleeping face through the slightly opened window. I always felt that his sleeping face looked much more relaxed.
But that's not the purpose of my coming here tonight.
I continued around the inner courtyard of the house until I came across the bushes, which looked even darker at night.
"Sister You, have you gone to bed so early?"
I entered You Ruojun's room, deliberately using slow steps. She suddenly woke up from her sleep and was shocked to see me standing in front of the window.
"What are you doing here again?" Her anger and nervousness were immediately written on her face, although her face still had no other color except paleness.
"I just came to see if your condition is better?"
She still stared at me fiercely, as if expressing her indignation at my deliberate gloating.
"I really hope you get better soon. If you get better, maybe Brother Yunzhong will come to see me." I smiled, then turned to a hesitant expression and said, "But, deep down, I
But I don’t want you to get better, otherwise, this game won’t be so fun.”
I shook my head pretending to be regretful, but I still caught a glimpse of her rising anger. I approached her face that was slightly distorted by anger with great interest until I could feel her hasty breathing. She suddenly raised her hand,
She seemed to want to slap my face, but I caught it easily. Her hand stopped in mid-air. Even if she had the intention to struggle, she had no ability to struggle because she was still weak. Because of jealousy, I still
I find such a scene very interesting. Even though I feel a little bit intolerant and sympathetic, I don’t know why, but I can’t soften my heart towards the woman in front of me. It seems that I am born to oppose her. Especially the look in her eyes, from which I feel
It seems that I can see a lot of recklessness and unscrupulousness, as well as boundless jealousy. This jealousy is far more terrifying than my mood at the moment.
"Don't tell him that I have been here, otherwise there will be no need to continue this bet. If you get better and want to see me, I will always be at the place where we first met, waiting for you." I leaned close to her.
I whispered quietly in my ear, and squeezed her wrist that was hanging in the air. I knew that she must feel very painful, because her face was even more distorted.
She was so angry that her whole body began to tremble, her face turned pale, and her breathing was loud and rapid. However, I gradually moved away from her deformed face and continued to smile slightly, but subconsciously wanted to discern other things from her anger.
From the moment she fell ill in bed, my intuition told me: You Ruojun does not seem to be an ordinary infatuated woman. There are many mysteries about her identity as a monster hunter and her strange illness.
I can't see clearly yet, but I vaguely feel that the mystery about her is worth digging into.
I looked at her expression that was indeed unbearable, and then looked at the resentment that she could hardly take back. I drew a curve above her with my sleeves, and a white mist gradually spread out with my sleeves, covering You Ruojun.
The whole person was wrapped in it. There was another soft sound, and the candlestick beside You Ruojun's bed fell to the ground. The weak and trembling flames did not go out, but trembled slightly and burned more fiercely.
"Sister You, don't say I didn't give you a chance, just help you once. If you lose your place to live, will Brother Yunzhong agree to your engagement because of this? Or... there is someone else in this house.
A courtyard suitable for your physique? Demon hunter..."
I looked at her frowning more and more, as if I had revealed a secret of hers. Maybe not many people knew her true identity?
"You...you bitch! Get out of here! I don't want to see you even to the death! Get out!" She was so emotional that she almost started roaring.
"Don't worry, Sister You, how could I be cruel enough to kill you? I have set up a barrier for you. No matter how big the fire is, you will be fine."
From the bottom of my heart, I really don’t want her to die so soon. Since she is a mystery, why should I blindly create killings before the mystery is revealed? Maybe she is not a bad person, but she just has a different stance from me. She is nothing more than
It is my persistent love for Meng Yunzhong, but this love is too arrogant and self-deceiving.
I left Mengjun Villa, but I stared at everything that happened next from a distance. Fires were everywhere in Youruojun's room, and gray smoke filled the air. Naturally, it caused a commotion in the house. People were putting out the fire, and people were trying to save people.
In the end, it was Meng Yunzhong who carried You Ruojun, who seemed to have fainted, away from the courtyard that was almost burned to ashes. Naturally, she was unscathed, but she still retained the somewhat distorted expression when I left.
Perhaps thinking of You Ruojun's frail body, Meng Yunzhong and his adopted brother Boyi did not hastily place her in a normal room, but vacated Meng Yunzhong's room to allow her to practice quietly. Meng Yunzhong moved to a nearby place.
Stay temporarily in a villa.
When Mengjun Villa gradually returned to calm, and only a wisp of smoke rose slowly from You Ruojun's residence, I realized that the night was already very deep, and then I remembered the silk scarf Yun Jin had found for me.
I took out the silk scarf that I had always carried with me. The silk scarf actually gave off a faint light at night. It seemed that the owner of this silk scarf was indeed a person with some spiritual power, but after tasting it carefully, the smell was different.
It's not a monster, it must be another evil demon that has lost its humanity. But this smell has some perversion, but it makes me a little confused. The woman's silk scarf is smelled of a strong man's body odor, at least in this town.
I found no signs of such abnormality. But immediately, the impression of a person flashed in my mind - the elegant young master of Fu Yuanwai's mansion. After this thought, there was a strong evil aura emanating from that young master.
I looked back at Mengjun Villa where he was sleeping again, and left the shrubs that could gather spiritual power. I was afraid that You Ruojun's illness might have gotten a little more serious. So, I looked for the direction of Fu Yuan's mansion and sneaked there.
I bypassed the outer courtyard of the Yuanwai Mansion and went directly to the inner courtyard where the eldest young master lived. This time I did not go around hastily, but carefully explored the courtyard.
Strange to say, every room in this mansion is very deep and quiet, without any abnormality. Even the evil spirit I smelled from the young master during the day has completely disappeared. I entered the young master's bedroom.
He was standing outside his tent, but the evil spirit around him was gone. He only had a sleeping face, very peaceful and stable. No matter how you looked at it, there was no sign of being deceived by evil spirits or depleted of energy.
.What puzzles me even more is that there seems to be no other woman living in this young master’s yard. So the silk scarf I’m wearing cannot belong to this young master, right? As I said that, I dozed off.
The powder made the sleeping young master sleep even deeper, and I searched around for a while, but still found nothing more. Naturally, the result after rummaging through the room was the same.
I left the Yuanwai Mansion angrily and found nothing, but I don’t know why. The more normal there was, the more uneasy and suspicious I was. Perhaps some clues were deliberately covered up, which can only mean that this time I
The opponent I faced was indeed a bit tricky. Since he was playing a hide-and-seek game with me, why should I be impatient? Wait quietly, and the fox's tail will naturally show up.
When I returned to Zhuoyun Xiaozhu, it was almost dawn. When I saw Yunjin coming towards me, I felt a little tired. Yunjin seemed to have been up all night, but when he saw me, he was still very excited. I suddenly blamed myself.
Why didn't you come back earlier?
"Yunjin, go and have a rest. You don't have to wait for me like this in the future."
Yunjin rubbed its huge forehead against me, feeling so attached to me.
"By the way, is the owner of that scarf a man or a woman?"
Yunjin made a whining sound, and I thought that since it was the one who got this scarf back, it must have some clues. Although it couldn't speak, I could make inferences from its reaction.
"man?"
Yun Jin seemed to understand what I meant. Its head left my body, took a step back, stared at the silk scarf with wide eyes, and exhaled "Puff", so I asked again tentatively.
:
"Yes, woman?"
This time, Yun Jin did not react as before, but lay down quietly.
"Where did you find her? Was it the town's Fu Yuanwaifu?"
Yun Jin stood up again and made that "puff" sound.
I put away the silk scarf and frowned. Could it be that my intuition was wrong? Where did the evil spirit in the young master come from? Maybe it was just an ordinary monster? The silk scarf Yun Jin found for me
, whose is it? After thinking about it, I felt a little tight in my chest, and then I remembered that I had been away from Cangrong Sword for nearly a day.
Yun Jin also noticed my discomfort, and quickly walked to my side, deliberately pushing me towards the room. As I approached the Cang Rong Sword, I said to Yun Jin:
"Tomorrow night, please take me to the place where you found this scarf."
I slept much more peacefully that night, but I still couldn't help but think about the origin of this silk scarf. I tossed and turned in my dream, and it was still the peaceful Yuanwai Mansion, but except for the strange silence, there seemed to be nothing else. Just when the mansion suddenly suddenly
When there was a slight fluctuation, I immediately felt a burst of anxiety. The silence seemed to shake a little in the night. Even if it was just a slight vibration, it was enough to let me know that there was something strange hidden under the silence. It was just the secret that shrouded the mansion.
The air was too blurry and I couldn't see clearly at all, so I thought about it getting closer and closer... It seemed that I found a hole somewhere. The hole was chaotic, but a figure vaguely emerged. I got closer and closer.
Closely, a piece of ribbon was winding and floating in the hole. As long as I got closer, maybe I could see it clearly... But in an instant, my eyes suddenly shook, and the mansion in front of me suddenly disappeared. The figure was scattered, but
But I vaguely felt that a pair of eyes were looking at me, and there was a coldness in those eyes, which made my chest throb...
When he opened his eyes, Yun Jin had already poked his head outside the door. It turned out to be just a dream.
I was still feeling a little uncomfortable, and even my breathing became a little rapid. That look in my mind refused to go away for a long time. I thought about it, and I always felt that that look was very familiar. I cleared my mind, which was still a little cloudy.
, but more often than not, I continued to think about the hole and the figure that appeared in the Yuanwai’s house in my dream.
"Woooo..."
Yunjin called me outside the door, and I came back to my senses, walked up to it and touched its forehead.
"Yunjin, I may not be able to accompany you these days. If you feel lonely, go and play nearby. There are still many little monsters in the surrounding woods."
I comforted it, but I really felt that I was a little cruel.
After saying goodbye to Yun Jin, I came to the wooden house. Even though Meng Yunzhong had not moved here yet, it would inevitably seem abnormal if he came over and found that I was not there all the time. Moreover, he also said that he would take time to come over and chat with me every day.
The morning breeze on the cliff was cool and refreshing. I cleaned the wooden house roughly and lit the stove. Since there are people living in it, it must be popular. The nearby orchard has been abandoned for a long time, so I shaved off the dead wood.
, after weeding out the weeds, I just want to make this neighborhood more vibrant again. Even if it is impossible to return to those days without impurities, at least, regardless of those bets or transactions, Meng Yunzhong is still willing to live here with me.
I was busy all morning, but I didn't use any spiritual power. When I returned to the wooden house and prepared a few dishes and put them on the table, I started to laugh at myself. I couldn't tell whether what I was doing was real or just for acting.
.Am I just trying to win the bet I made with You Ruojun? Or maybe, after meeting Meng Yunzhong again, I was so blind that I forgot my hatred, everything that happened not long ago, and even the relationship between myself and Meng Yunzhong.
Among the different paths of human beings and monsters in the world, what kind of magic power does he have that can completely immerse me in an ordinary life with him? If I want to be an ordinary mortal, I can quickly go to the fairy waterfall next to it.
Live a lifetime?
Being quiet will only make me spend more energy on daydreams. However, this daydream not only did not allow me to clarify the chaotic thoughts in my heart, but instead made me more entangled and confused. All because, I am not an ordinary person, nor can I be considered an ordinary person.
The demon. In the end, I could only give up my choice, my fate, my oath, and admit that I was trapped again. Will I always be so dazed and evasive in the face of feelings? No matter how carefully I plan
, no matter how I tease my mind, I can't hide it. I just want to possess this feeling and this person. If You Ruojun is too persistent, what about me? Obsessed with hatred? Obsessed with competition? Obsessed with memories...
The food on the table was still steaming, but my thoughts seemed to have gone through reincarnation. It wasn't until Meng Yunzhong appeared in my sight that I suddenly woke up from my deep thoughts. After a moment of trance, I stood up and walked towards him.
"Brother Yunzhong, are you here?"
He looked at me and then at the food on the table, but he still couldn't relax his frown, probably because of what happened last night.
"Have you already had lunch?" I asked him, pretending to be nonchalant.
"No, come, let's eat together." He forced out a smile and walked to the table with me and sat down.
"What's wrong? Is it because of Sister You's illness?" I put some vegetables into his bowl and asked tentatively.
Sure enough, he immediately became melancholy again. His reaction really aroused a bit of jealousy in me.
"Last night, there was a fire in Ruojun's room."
"Ah? Is Sister You injured?" I pretended to be surprised.
"Fortunately, only the house was destroyed, and no one is safe. It's just that her body was already weak, and now she is even more unconscious."
"Then, is there no medicine that can cure her disease?"
He sighed quietly and said, "Even if there is, you will have to wait for a while."
"Why?"
"Ruojun's illness... is very strange, and it happens once every year. When she first got sick, my step-brother and I searched everywhere for medicine, and finally found a prescription to cure her in Fu Yuanwai's Mansion. But this time, the medicine hadn't been released yet.
If you don't take medicine, your illness will be cured."
"What kind of medicine has such effect? So what disease does Sister You have?"
Meng Yunzhong shook his head heavily: "Her disease is very strange. No one can give a definite diagnosis so far. But when she gets sick, her whole body becomes weak. When it gets serious, wrinkles will appear on her face, as if she is old.
state."
I secretly thought about it, and it turned out that the wrinkles I saw on You Ruojun's face that day were real. But I still had a lot of questions, but I didn't know where to start. Even if I asked, maybe even he wouldn't know.
"That's all, let's eat quickly. Wait for the medicine to be prepared outside the waiting room. She'll be fine after taking it."
Meng Yunzhong saw my brows furrowed and kept adding vegetables to my bowl with some pity.
"Brother Yunzhong and Sister You must be very close, right?"
In order to lighten the atmosphere, I smiled slightly and changed the topic. In fact, I just wanted to find out more about You Ruojun's past, and also wanted to know what kind of memories Meng Yunzhong had with her.
"Could it be that you are sweethearts and have made an engagement since childhood?"
Seeing that Meng Yunzhong didn't speak, I asked. He raised his head and looked at me, his expression was very heavy, and he was a little helpless.
"That's not true."
A short answer, but with a deliberate avoidance.
"That's all. There must be many unforgettable memories between Brother Yunzhong and Sister You. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
I smiled awkwardly, but it seemed a little sad.
"Why do you think so?"
Seeing my gaffe, he changed his previous melancholy and looked at me with a thoughtful expression, as if he wanted to see through me. Suddenly I felt that he was indeed a person that I couldn't figure out.
.
I shook my head, should I tell her that I was jealous?
"Then what do you want to know? I'll tell you."
"Why should I, an outsider, know about Brother Yunzhong and Sister You?" I deliberately turned my head to the side.
He finally smiled in relief, so I laughed too, as if this smile was really so innocent that it was just a small talk after a meal.
"A few years ago, Ruojun saved my life and my adopted brother's life, and also helped my adopted brother to build Mengjun Villa, so..."
Listening to his somewhat sudden explanation, I began to make some associations, but I still wanted to hear him continue.
"I lost my mother when I was young. Fortunately, I got to know my adopted brother. We depended on each other and learned skills together. Later, we became more or less famous in the world. But one time, I fell into someone else's trap and almost lost my life. I happened to be saved by Ruojun.
Later, he helped me and my step-brother build the Mengjun Villa. My step-brother was originally interested in her, but she chose to marry him as a brother and sister, and insisted on making this engagement with me. My step-brother was very indulgent to her, which hindered her.
I can only agree to my brother's insistence, after all, my adopted brother and I both owe her our lives."
I listened to him thoughtfully, but I didn't find any loopholes in his narrative. It seemed to be just a story about repaying kindness and growing love over time. However, I was vaguely worried in my heart, but what exactly I was worried about?
I don’t know. But one thing I know very well is that with Meng Yunzhong’s character, it seems that he will not let go of this wishful marriage easily.
At this moment, I felt a faint pain in my heart, and suddenly I remembered the wedding room that Cang Li built for me, and the bright red wedding dress. Even though I didn’t understand the mortal concept of marriage, I still had lingering fears. I just didn’t know that Meng Yunzhong
Will he be like me and get rid of a marriage that he doesn't want to accept no matter what? But even if he gets rid of it, will he still have to bear the guilt I have now? You Ruojun and Cang Li, I don't know when there were more
They were very similar, and suddenly I felt that the outcome of this bet would not be good.
I remained silent, and he put down his bowls and chopsticks and looked at me silently.
"Brother Yunzhong, actually I have a question that I want to ask you, but I don't dare to ask it."
I looked up at him and met his eyes. There was some hesitation in his eyes, maybe he guessed the question I wanted to ask, but he didn't avoid it.
"It doesn't hurt to ask."
"If Sister You insists on marrying you, will you agree?"
