Under the cover of Gui Haishi, they left the scene safely without being seen by anyone. The door of the hotel was open at night, and the waiter on the night watch happened to go to the latrine, so the four of them managed to sneak back to their room. Because it was really
It was too late and they were extremely tired, so they didn't say anything more and went back to their rooms to rest.
After a simple cleaning, Xie Zhe took out his needle and thread and began to mend the rips in his clothes by candlelight. He was quite tired, but if he went out wearing clothes like this tomorrow, it would be hard not to be suspected of being involved in a fight at night.
Rainfall in Guihaishi has a certain range
, there was no water after more than two blocks. He might have checked their residence and deliberately left an easy path, but it didn't matter anymore. Although he didn't have a cold, his clothes were soaked. Even though his clothes were wet,
Sewing and mending is a technical job.
Hanshang pulled out the dagger again in front of him. At this time, it was no longer like it was in the previous battle, as if it was in the process of being tempered and burned brightly, but it was still very long - longer than the scabbard.
The length of the clothes. Xie Zhe temporarily stopped what he was doing and asked him: "Why don't you go hang the clothes? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"Ah, this is the fire rat fur. It's not afraid of fire." He raised his sleeves and put the long sword back into its sheath. "So I have evaporated the water in the clothes. I will also help you deal with it so that it won't burn.
But it can’t be completely dried, it can only be easier to sew.”
So Xie Zhe put down the needle and thread, handed the clothes in his hand to him, and took the dagger from him. The length he pulled out from Xie Zhe's hand was still the same as the scabbard. The scabbard looked like it was hidden in the scabbard.
They picked up two swords, one was a short sword and the other was a retractable long sword. But in fact, they were both sure that they were touching the same hilt.
"You have discovered how to use this sword correctly...but I am still not recognized by Fengyun Zhan."
Han Chang shook his coat and asked, "How do you say it?"
"When I left there, I realized that even if I intentionally activated the power of Fengyun Slash, it seemed that it could no longer be used by me and became an ordinary light sword. Until now, it seems that it can only be used on the battlefield.
God can call the wind and rain for me. I'm worried that one day, when I need it most, I won't be able to..."
"Don't think too much," Han Chang put the clothes on his face, "Go to sleep, you have to leave here tomorrow."
The Guihai clan could hide such a big mess for them, but there was no use staying here, not to mention that the most difficult issue at the moment had been solved. After the heavy rain, there were only light red spots on their faces.
There is no need to touch up the shallow marks. However, it seems that ordinary water cannot easily rub off the red spots, and the rain that can extinguish the demon fire is probably not as simple as ordinary rain.
And it seems to... destroy the halo in the sky.
Han Zhang had already thrown himself on the bed and got under the quilt to keep warm. Xie Zhe looked at the bulging quilt in the next bed and said hesitantly:
"On the way back, did you hear what those people were discussing? That strange light in the sky seems to look different in the eyes of different people. I heard some people said they saw castles in the air, some saw beautiful women, and some
Some people saw a gluttonous feast. Did they see scenes from other places, something in their own hearts, or something else? This illusion seems to be related to your power. Is this also caused by Shiranui?"
Hanshang's bulging quilt squirmed, and an impatient reply came from inside:
"have no idea."
He seemed to be starting to avoid these problems.
On the other side, the girls didn't fall asleep either. They finished washing early and lay down on the bed, but they still didn't fall asleep. It was already half past midnight, and the two finally spoke in tacit understanding -
"Are you asleep?"
"Today you..."
"You say it first."
"You go first."
There was another moment of silence.
Ye Linghua changed from facing the wall to facing away from the wall, and turned towards the direction of Xue Miyin's bed.
"Thank you very much for today. Have you been burned? Even if you are not burned, you will be injured if the temperature is too high."
Xue Miyin was always lying on her back. She stared at the ceiling blankly and replied: "No. But if it takes a little longer, I won't be able to say for sure. I have nothing to thank, but I am surprised that I am still willing to save people."
"You have always been a good person."
"...I don't think I am." She squinted in Ling Huan's direction, "I want to say that I have killed someone, do you believe it?"
"Really-really? You were lying to me. How could you do that?"
"How should I put it... It's like cutting open an earthworm. You know it can survive, so you don't care so much about it."
"But even earthworms must be in pain, right?"
"...So I said I'm not a good person."
"Why?" Ling Huan asked, "You have been very friendly to us along the way. Aren't we already..."
"I don't know, don't ask me that. I'm actually very bad at getting along with people, because the people who are my friends are very unlucky."
"How do you say that?"
"There are not many people who I really consider as friends. They are all life-long friendships, and I have nothing to hide. My first best friend in childhood was kidnapped and trafficked by bad guys when she was six years old. She was like a little sun, giving me life in a cage.
Everyone brought warmth... but ended up being killed by the 'good sister' who helped me. There was no misunderstanding in this."
"No... misunderstanding?"
"No, it was my friend who told me personally - yes, she is not dead. However, that person's original intention was to kill her. That person felt that she couldn't be saved anyway, so it would be better to kill her with a knife.
. But the child wasn’t hurt that badly. She could have been saved anyway. Just pretend she was too lazy.
Rescue, or... there are some other reasons. I was going to leave with her and wander around the world, and she would tell me in detail about various things that happened back then. But as you know, I couldn't find her. I knew she
It’s not that she’s dishonest, she just ran into some troubles... She hasn’t had a good life these past few years.”
"..."
"My shamisen was given to me by my sister. I always moved around in many places, and people in each place only adopted me for a while. Some people have one thing in front of them and another in the back, but my sister always behaves the same way.
After leaving, they treated me differently. There are many people who are extremely hypocritical, saying that they don’t dislike me and will treat me well.
, but I couldn’t even eat a hot meal. People thought I was a burden, but it didn’t matter. In those years, I always... regarded her as my only relative, and even my faith. As long as I think of her, she was heroic and saving people everywhere.
People like me are in trouble - and I am the luckiest one, so I am deeply moved."
"She is a knight?"
"That's right. But now that I think about it, I'm really stupid...forget it, that's not what I want to say."
It was rare for Xue Miyin to be so talkative, and Ling Huan was also very interested. Rather, she was very happy that Miyin could occasionally open up her heart and talk about herself. The focus of her talk was another boy of the same age as her.
It's just that he is always fixed in
At that age. In the city where Xue Miyin lived for the longest time, there was an old craftsman who was a jeweler. But he did not sell jewelry, but processed the raw materials of jewelry and sold craftsmanship. He also had a follower.
The apprentice who learned his art is
The boy Xue Miyin mentioned. The boy had no parents and lived a very hard life, but he was optimistic and funny. As time went by, even Xue Miyin loved to talk and run around with him. The only thing about Xue Miyin was
The most popular animal product is ivory.
Her hairpin and shamisen pick were both made by the young man himself. Originally, she didn't like it and had no intention of keeping it. After the old craftsman told her about his apprentice's death, he handed it to her as a relic.
Then I silently accepted it and kept it as a souvenir.
"People always tell lies," she said, "whether they are malicious or well-intentioned. He said he liked me, and I believed him. But I told him that I didn't seem to feel like I could love anyone yet. I only liked animals." He said
He didn't care, he could wait. He made a promise, saying that after he mastered the craft, he would use his master's connections to go to another city, set up his own business, and make some money. I could follow him - and my sister could visit us often.
Although I can't say how many
He liked it, but felt that this kind of life was not bad. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea were so valuable in the eyes of people who had experienced famine. Then he died of illness. The old craftsman said that he had always had a heart problem and would have an attack at any time.
.He left suddenly, catching me off guard. It wasn’t until after that guy died that I realized that in fact, I was looking forward to and longing for the life he mentioned so much. Without him, it would be boring."
"So you think... you think he lied to you?"
Ling Huan was a little hesitant when she spoke. She wanted to enlighten Miyin, but she finally kept her mouth shut. She had not experienced it herself and was not qualified to give advice. And for such a long time, Xue Miyin must have thought more about it than she did.
"Isn't this a lie? He concealed his illness, deceived me, and painted me a picture of a pure land of bliss that will never appear. This is a lie... The world is full of lies, and everyone can only talk about castles in the air.
Just nice words."
There was another long silence in the house. Occasionally, strange rustling sounds could be heard outside the house. I wonder if it was a weasel or a mouse moving at night. Spring is coming, and soon the night will be more lively, with all kinds of night birds and insects.
Join this ensemble.
Ling Huan stopped talking about her and started talking about himself.
"You... initially wanted to talk about my hand, right?"
She stretched out her right hand from the quilt and raised it high. In the darkness, she could only vaguely see the outline of her arm and five fingers, but couldn't see more. Xue Miyin turned her head away and stared at her hand closely.
"I have something to ask you...can you not tell them?"
"I felt something was wrong during the day. When I caught you, I found that your entire arm was cold, stiff, and a little gray in color, like a dead person."
"Gui Hai probably saw something was wrong. When he enlightened me, I felt some power flowing through my arms. However, this phenomenon only reached half of the upper arm and no longer spread. Moreover, I don't have any living corpses for the time being.
Symptoms, I can still control my arm intact. It just... feels a little dull. I really like the days with you. It's selfish to say it, but..."
"If anything happens, I will definitely kill you."
"This is exactly what I've been waiting for."
"..."
Xue Miyin turned her back, looking like she was getting ready to sleep. She didn't want to talk any more.
