Xie Lan was in a daze, and until Sheng Nuan let go of his fingers, his heartbeat was still a little erratic.
"Okay, no more bleeding." Sheng Nuan smiled.
He Cheng looked on in a daze and thought to himself: Good guy, this sweetheart is of a high rank, even a man can't stand it.
Sheng Nuan actually had no other thoughts just now, it was purely for their safety.
Next to her, Mo Ying in a little white dress reacted.
She pushed Xie Lan, causing Xie Lan to cut her finger. Seeing Xie Lan move to Sheng Nuan and away from her with an expressionless expression, Mo Ying suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean it."
Xie Lan looked very cold: "Miss Mo, please pay attention to your title. I don't know you, let alone a sister like you."
Sheng Nuan said he was an elder brother. Mo Ying thought Xie Lan liked this hexagram very much, but unexpectedly she hit another snag.
After all, she was too embarrassed to get too close, so she could only lower her voice and ask for help: "Brother Yan, can I come with you?"
Mo Ying felt panicked when she thought of the hands that Mr. Clock had just placed on her waist and hips.
She forced a smile to avoid it, but Mr. Zhong said that he could not take risks to help others for no reason.
"Uncle, you can't take risks for no reason, but I don't like forcing others. It's still too late for you to regret it now."
Thinking of Mr. Zhong looking at her with a smile, Mo Ying felt her scalp numb.
Afraid of being rejected again, she pursed her lips and said pitifully: "Mr. Zhong, he has evil intentions against me. Please help me, please?"
Mo Ying always looked like a weak little white flower, and she looked even more pitiful when she was about to cry.
The people next to me were looking this way as well.
Just when Sheng Nuan was wondering if Xie Lan would be soft-hearted, Xie Lan said expressionlessly: "I'm very surprised that there are so many people, why does Miss Mo insist on pestering me?"
"Because I, we have met before, I think of us, we are acquaintances."
Mo Ying stuttered.
Xie Lan looked indifferent: "I'm sorry, I don't know you, and...you said someone is plotting against you. I can remind you that in this world, no one will take the initiative to harm teammates."
Mo Ying was stunned: "I..."
Xie Lan looked at him: "If you want to get shelter from others, you should be prepared to pay the price, or you can choose to stay away, right?"
Sheng Nuan watched in shock for a moment, then realized that Xie Lan was already gentle to her back then.
Mo Ying looked pale.
At this time, Mr. Zhong walked in from outside and saw Mo Ying talking to Xie Lan. He frowned slightly, then sat down on the other side.
She completely showed no intention of getting close to Mo Ying.
Mo Ying bit her lip and looked at Xie Lan, her eyes slightly red, paused, and then walked towards Mr. Zhong without saying a word...
She didn't want to let a middle-aged man take advantage of her, but she didn't want to die even more!
No one pays attention to Mo Ying anymore, because her behavior is actually too common. Regardless of men or women, many people have to pay various prices in order to survive when they enter this world.
After the person left, Xie Lan ignored him again, lowered his head and slowly glued the colorful paper to the bamboo stand. Next to him, Sheng Nuan quietly leaned towards him again.
Xie Lan didn't seem to notice her little movements, and still lowered his head and went about his own business.
At this time, the scar-faced Zhou Wang opposite him suddenly cursed in a low voice.
His finger was cut by the bamboo strips, and the blood stains happened to be on the face of the paper man... Zhou Wang cursed, raised his hand and smashed the paper man to the ground: "I'm not going to do this anymore!"
"Where the hell is this place? Who are you? Is this a prank?"
The sisters immediately moved away and hid, looking at him as if they were looking at a dead person.
The cold-faced man Yang Zhao raised his head and said calmly: "If you don't want to live, just make a fuss. Anyway, it won't be someone else who dies."
Scarface suddenly froze and looked over fiercely, but Yang Zhao had already lowered his head and continued to work on himself.
Others just looked at him coldly and ignored him... Nothing is more important than their own lives.
Scarface stood there, his chest heaving violently, he paused for a moment, turned around and strode outside.
After walking out of the mourning hall, he walked to the courtyard door without stopping, opened the courtyard door and went out... But in just a short moment, he rushed back into the courtyard and slammed the courtyard door.
It wasn't until he returned to the mourning hall with his whole body stiff and his face pale that Scarface realized that no one even asked him what he had seen.
It's like they actually already knew what it would be like outside.
Thinking of the road that had just been shrouded in black fog, the dead silence of the deserted village, and the ghostly figures flashing through the gray fog, Scar sat down with a livid face, gritted his teeth and picked up the paper he had just thrown to the ground.
It was so annoying that he started working without saying a word.
It was dusk when they came here, and soon it would be dark. At this time, the woman who had arranged the paper binding work for them came in.
Most people made two paper figures. Sheng Nuan worked quickly and made three, and they were all lifelike. Scarface, the greasy-headed man and Mo Ying in the little white dress made one, especially the scarface one.
The paper man had a strange shape because he had thrown it.
Lady Dai Xiao put their paper-cut figures in the corner of the mourning hall, and then grinned: "Two people will be left to watch the mourning tonight."
Everyone was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in their hearts. The next moment, they saw Dai Xiaonu pointing directly at Scarface: "You and the people who live with you will be keeping vigil tonight."
Scarface froze immediately, his cheek muscles trembled, and he gritted his teeth: "Why is it me?"
Dai Xiaonu showed a secretive and somewhat stiff smile: "You can also refuse. This is all to show respect for the deceased and not to force it."
After saying that, Dai Xiaonu looked at the others: "Don't go out of the room after dark, otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."
When Dai Xiaonu left, the others immediately walked out of the mourning hall and walked to their residences.
Scar's expression turned extremely ugly, and he hesitated to leave the mourning hall, but in the end, he reached the door and did not take a step out... Behind him, Tian Chen, a greasy-headed man, fell down on a mat made of wheat straw, his face turned gray.
On the other side, after everyone left the mourning hall, they took turns going to the simple bathroom to wash up. When it got completely dark, everyone went back to their rooms.
They saw that the door of the mourning hall was closed, and inside were Scarface and the greasy-headed man.
Everyone knew in their hearts that they should be safe tonight, because those two people were obviously chosen.
But this does not mean that they are absolutely safe, and they can only be taken with caution.
Sheng Nuan and Xie Lan and He Cheng lived in the same room. The room had a large fire bed with walls on both sides. It was larger than a double bed. Three people could lie down on it without disturbing each other.
Sheng Nuan and He Cheng were on both sides against the wall, with Xie Lan sleeping in the middle to separate them.
After the candle in the room burned out, the surrounding area became completely dark, leaving only the halo of the white lantern outside faintly revealed through the crack in the door.
"Brother..." Sheng Nuan whispered.
Xie Lan hummed, and the next moment, he heard her say: "I'm scared, can you get closer to me?"
Xie Lan didn't move, but Sheng Nuan seemed to have guessed that he wouldn't move, and then whispered: "If you can't come over, I can come over."
If the mountains don’t belong to me, then I will choose the mountains.
On the other side of Xie Lan was He Cheng. At this moment, He Cheng was motionless and made no sound, as if he didn't exist.
Xie Lan was helpless, but still leaned towards Sheng Nuan. As soon as he moved over, her slender and soft body rolled into his arms.
The girl leaned in front of him and tugged on the hem of his clothes to whisper to him: "Brother, I miss you so much since I haven't seen you."
She asked in a low voice: "Do you miss me?"
Xie Lan didn't say anything, and then he heard the girl in his arms snort.
His lips moved slightly, and when he was about to speak, he was caught off guard by a soft touch on his lips...
For a moment, He Cheng and the scene when he was attacked that night suddenly came to mind.
At that time, Sheng Nuan leaned in front of him and raised her head to kiss him...
Xie Lan knew that he should push her away, but his arms moved, but they did not fall on her. He remained motionless, but did not move away.
The girl seemed to be eating candy, a little cautious and a little greedy. When it was soft, she felt it was not sweet enough, but when it was heavy, she seemed to be shocked again and hurriedly ran away...
Xie Lan didn't really want to avoid it at first, but by the time he realized it, his hands had already fallen on the girl's waist, and he hugged her gently.
The moment she backed away, he subconsciously chased her forward...
At this time, He Cheng's somewhat numb voice suddenly sounded behind him: "I should still be a human being, right?"
He said: "Why doesn't anyone treat me as a human being..."
Xie Lan froze immediately, and then reached out to hold the girl in his arms to prevent her from moving. The next moment, he heard her chuckle, and then she leaned against his chest obediently.
Xie Lan has been single for more than 20 years based on his own ability, but he never expected that after becoming a player in the Overlapping Gate due to bad luck, he would meet a girl who would make his heart beat.
He quietly hugged the person, closed his eyes, and whispered: "Sleep well."
Sheng Nuan hummed, but before she finished speaking, suddenly, their door was banged.
Chen Chen's trembling and frightened voice sounded outside: "Sister Sheng, Sister Sheng, help me... Something is wrong in our house, it's scary outside, please help me..."
