Chapter 156: Dangerous Building and Deep Courtyard
It's night. It seems darker than usual tonight.
The weather has not been good since dusk, and the wind has been a bit strong. Although it has stopped now, leaves and some garbage are still scattered in disorder on the street and no one is taking care of it. People have also laid a sheet on the outside window sill.
There was a thin layer of sand and dust. It seemed like it was going to rain, but it didn't come down after all. The clouds sneezed back, looking dull and suffocating.
The operation still has to continue. For them, the darker the weather, the better. Wuyong's courtyard has been closed for a long time, but the door lock is not very dirty, and the ground is relatively clean compared to the surrounding areas. It seems that someone has really come in and out before.
Yes, maybe it's quite frequent, but not many people have come recently. There are two stone lions at the door, probably like other wealthy families, used to ward off evil spirits. But to be honest, their house's facade is not big, so two heavy lions like these are
Things seem a little cumbersome.
Kisaragi-kun's instructions were simple. After they entered, she personally searched for the stored dolls. After finding them, she asked one of them to help carry them away, while the other two showed off at the door.
"Sounds pretty simple," Han Zhang stood in front of the door lock and touched the lock, "Then I and Lord Ruyue will carry the things, and you two will stay here?"
Ling Huan and Xie Zhe looked at each other. The former scratched his head and said vaguely: "Hmm... OK."
"Wait a minute," Xie Zhe seemed to have other plans. "After thinking about it, I thought it would be better for me to go. When I see those puppets, I might be able to tell some clues. If something goes wrong, I can still be like Ru Yuejun.
Onmyoji suppresses it. If you are on guard outside and encounter any trouble, Hanshang's sorcery is more suitable for confronting the bad guys head-on."
The words made sense as soon as they were spoken, and they sounded like they had been carefully thought out. Han Chang frowned slightly, glanced at Ling Huan, then at Xie Zhe, then turned around and asked:
"Then Ruyue-kun thinks..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I have a lot of strength. Although I am not weak at all, if something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to bring it out completely."
So they settled on this. Ling Huan sighed softly, glanced at the thick lock again, and asked:
"Are we going to pry it open? I should be able to..."
"Ah? No need to bother."
Lord Ruyue stepped forward and pulled off the heavy lock with one hand. Under the surprised eyes of the three people, she pushed the door open and entered.
"What are you doing standing still? Follow me."
Time was limited, so they hurried into the courtyard, and Han Chang closed the door. Xie Zhe followed Ru Yuejun to explore deeper in the house, leaving a light for the other two people. Ling Yu and Han Chang stood at the door, one on the left and one on the left.
Right, like two door gods.
I don’t know how long Ruyue-kun and the others will be there, the two of them are pacing in place. The clouds in the sky are extremely thick, but the moon is very round, and sometimes it pokes its head out between the gaps in the clouds. The clouds move slowly, and the light and shadow from top to bottom make them
It has a special texture. It is pressed down so low that it seems to be within reach. The only candle lamp placed between the two people also appears to be dark and bright.
Probably because it has been quiet for too long, it always makes people feel uneasy. Ling Huan finally spoke:
"I always feel like it's eerie here..."
"It's been too long without anyone living there, so that's normal. No matter what happens at night, it feels scary. And since there's no one around and no lights on, it's naturally cold."
"But when I think about the fact that there are many things like people hidden here and they can move - it's even more scary."
"Then they were the first ones to be scared, and then we were the second ones."
Ling Huan was amused and finally burst into laughter. Han Sheng looked at her with some relief. She had almost never smiled since she was "separated" from Xue Miyin. But what she said was right, this place did look too good.
Too eerie...maybe it has something to do with the weather tonight. He tried to use the demon power to make the surrounding people
The air in the air became warmer unknowingly, and he didn't stop until he saw Ling Huan no longer rubbing his arms. He thought to himself that his sister was just like Ling Huan in the past, never leaving the house.
To this day, she still stays in a place almost isolated from the world, taking care of her elderly grandmother.
Grandma who warms wine.
"Why are you looking at me?" In the firelight, Ling Huan blinked, feeling that Han Shan had been staring for too long.
"Ah...I think of my sister."
"Your fox sister?"
"Yes. She has been able to take care of herself for a long time...but I think it is too early to take risks."
"But I remember, is she about the same age as you?"
"...If you say that, it's true." Han Chang smiled, but frowned, "But she has always been weak."
Ling Huan also laughed: "You guys always think that girls are not good enough. Fathers think that daughters are still young, brothers think that sisters are still young... In your eyes, girls will never grow up. You always think that as long as
If you are here, you can always protect them."
"Well... if you say that, it's true. It's not just girls. It's normal to worry about young people, right? Respecting the old and loving the young is not just a human tradition."
Ling Huan got tired of standing and leaned against the wall. She sighed softly and said:
"I heard from my parents that our distant relatives of the Ye family have a brother and sister who are only a quarter of an hour apart. It doesn't matter whether they are male or female...but the family spoiled the younger brother rotten. In the end, his older sister was able to take charge of her own business, and the younger brother
But even the clothes for changing seasons have to be picked out and brought. I go out and take risks.
Before the crisis, I thought I might not be able to withstand the dangers of the world. I am really lucky to have met you - although there are more bad people, everyone will have their own blessings. Flowers and plants have experienced wind and rain, and they are
It will break, but who can really stay in a flower shed all their lives?"
"You -" Han Chang looked at her and pondered for a long time, "You can say that, I am really happy to be a brother..."
"Why do you always want to take advantage of me?"
Han Chang smiled and stopped talking. He really regarded her as a sister, so when these words came out of her mouth, the relief and touch were extremely real.
"Well, it's been so many years...don't you go back and see your sister? And the old man." Ling Huan asked him.
"I will go back if I have the chance, I think, just for a while... because they live in Wanren Mountain."
"Yes, really?" Ling Huan was surprised, "Is this where Lord Shuang Yue said Yun Waijing is really hiding?"
"It's just possible, not completely certain yet. Moreover, Wanren Mountain is a continuous group of mountains, intricate and steep. The distance between each peak is not a joke... I originally wanted to wait until I tell you, but now
That’s right.”
"That's great. Hey, should we prepare some gifts for her and the old man? What do they like? Is it just the two of them? Is there anyone else?" Han Yang looked at Ling Huan and thought from the bottom of his heart.
Cute. He said:
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Although they are just taking refuge in the mountains, even in the wild, foxes do not live in groups. Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural occurrences. Feeding back is very rare for animals. After all, resources are very limited. Only with human characteristics can you
For example, you only think so much after you become a monster. Although Wenjiu's grandma is not related to us, she still takes care of our brothers and sisters a lot. Now that she is old, we naturally cannot abandon her."
He paused and looked up at the sky. The moon poked its head out again, and everything became a little brighter. He continued:
"Human beings are really amazing...some people have good things that animals and monsters don't have, and some people are so bad that they can do things that even animals can't do."
"I think it's the same for everyone. It just depends on how the person chooses."
"Um."
The ground became a lot darker, and the moon hid behind the clouds again. I think people are just like the moon, full and missing. But from beginning to end, the moon is just this moon, but sometimes it is generous and generous, and sometimes it is obscured.
.It’s just that people can only see part of it.
Han Chang touched his nose and his voice was lower than before.
"Um...what do you think of Lao Xie?"
"Azhe? He's very good."
"Then you...well," he blinked quickly, no longer looking at Ling Huan, and organized his words in his mouth, "that is, what do you think is good about him and what is bad about him?"
"They're all pretty good." Ling Huan thought for a moment, "She looks pretty good, but her eyes are a little small... but she sees more than others. She has experience and ability. There are some disadvantages... I guess.
?I just feel that sometimes he is a bit stupid, and what I want to say is not the same as what he understands. He always says strange things in a dull manner, which does not please girls."
After saying that, Ling Huan laughed. Han Sheng felt that her smile was so sincere. He asked further:
"So do you like it?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, if you were to choose a husband, would you consider him like this?"
Han Yang raised his eyebrows and asked her half-jokingly, but he seemed to care about the answer to the question. Ling Huan didn't know how to answer, after all, it was a very complicated question. She thought for a long time and hesitated:
"Well, it's hard to say. He is very good when he is good. He often takes care of me. I can see it. It's like Ruyue-kun can walk around today, but he stayed with me. It must be him
It was entrusted to you, right?"
"Oh, you can see it. He really... cares about others in a very awkward way, hahahaha."
"Everyone is different."
Han Chang didn't get a definite answer, but he had some confidence in his heart. Xie Zhe is a real person, and among humans, he should be known as "fit for life". It's a pity that what he is doing now is not suitable. And
, he himself said that he has a great heart when it sounds good, but he is rigid and doesn't know how to adapt at all when it sounds bad. It is certainly a good thing to care about the world, but if he doesn't consider his own affairs at all, he is a bit... heartless.
I didn't dare to let him know this, otherwise he would think about it. Xie Zhe took a deep breath, resisted the urge to roll his eyes and asked:
