The roads pointed out by Yan Hexing were extremely difficult to walk. There were so many people in their group that it was difficult to find a place to rest every time.
Just like that night, they came across a village without an inn.
Moreover, the village was very dark, but Yan Hexing and his party never noticed it.
Yan Yan had some doubts about whether this child was from the Yan family of Xuanmen, but he knew how to look at the stars.
"Don't worry, he won't encounter just this one weird thing along the way." Bai Zhu said, "The Yan family is burdened with guilt, and it is easy to encounter evil spirits. This is his fate."
Yan Yan curled his lips, "I'm not worried about him. Besides, he is from the Yan family. The Yan family took Qingyu away. I must be looking for Qingyu."
Shen Beizhu is no longer here, and she can no longer watch anything happen to Qingyu.
This group of people was very conspicuous when they came to the village. Yan Hexing gave them a lot of money, and the village chief personally found a place for them to live.
Yan Yan was very jealous.
She had stayed in a village before, but they wouldn't even open the door for her.
Next time she will definitely find a kid to pretend to be a follower and follow her into the village.
The courtyard where the village chief let them live was an empty courtyard in the village.
And this courtyard is the most gloomy place in the village.
Yan Yan didn't know whether the village chief did it on purpose or not. He tried to trick him and found that nothing strange happened in the village.
"What about the family that lived in this courtyard before?" Yan Yan asked, staring at the village chief's expression.
"That family left suddenly and I don't know where they went," the village chief said, "But don't worry, girl, this family used to be clean people and they all love to be clean."
Yan Yan smiled, it was obvious that the village chief had misunderstood, and judging from the village chief's expression, he really didn't know why there was so much gloom in this yard.
The meals were chicken, duck, and fish sent by the villagers, and Yan Hexing was accompanied by a cook.
Even if you are on the go, the raw chicken, duck, and fish will be cooked deliciously.
Yan Yan felt that this was a more decent life than the prince Shen Beizhu had.
Shen Beizhu...
Yan Yan put his chopsticks on his hands and stared blankly at the food on the table.
In the past, Shen Beizhu would give her a lot of delicious food, and he would always give her the most delicious chicken legs and duck legs.
"Aren't you going to eat? Do you have a bad appetite?" Yan Hexing asked her.
The few times I ate with Yan Yan, I didn't see her looking very hungry, but she always cleared the food on the table.
This time, I only took two bites.
I just said it was delicious, why did it happen all of a sudden?
"Let's go outside for a walk." Bai Zhu also put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"I miss Little Bamboo." Yan Yan said quietly as he looked into the distance.
Bai Zhu said calmly: "I know, you have been thinking about him." She didn't even dare to mention him.
Yan Yan suddenly turned around and threw himself into his arms, burying his cheek in his chest.
For just a moment, Yan Yan's shoulders were shaking, and the hand holding Bai Zhu's clothes was also shaking.
After a long time, Yan Yan came out of his arms with a sobbing sound.
"It turns out, this is what it feels like to lose a loved one." It was more uncomfortable than she imagined.
Bai Zhu's hand gently caressed her back, accompanying her silently.
In a thousand years, Yan Yu has never lost anything. No one or ghost dared to take anything away from her. She was always accompanied by two immortal ghost kings.
This was her first loss, and she lost a relative who held a very important place in her heart.
Shen Beizhu is not only her descendant, but also her companion in traveling in the underworld.
The time she spent with Shen Beizhu was longer than the time she spent with Bai Zhu.
How could this make her endure the fact that Shen Beizhu was not around?
Her soul was in disarray, and there was nothing she could do about her impermanence.
Yan Yan gave her three years to accept it, but three years seemed like a blink of an eye in her thousand-year existence.
Bai Zhu kissed her hair gently, so lightly that Yan Yan couldn't notice it, let alone what he was thinking.
He wanted to erase Shen Beizhu's existence from her heart.
Yan Yan has many people in his heart, and he cannot be the only one.
——but longs to be the only one in her heart.
Yan Yan raised his head from Bai Zhu's arms and sniffed, "Give me a handkerchief."
She took the handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Except for the red eyes, she is still the domineering and free-spirited Ghost King - Lord Impermanence.
When he returned to the dinner table, Yan Yan's attitude towards Yan Hexing was much colder, and he ignored him if he could.
Yan Hexing quietly asked Bai Zhu, "Did I offend her?"
"No, she probably only has this moment."
"What in a moment?" Yan Hexing wondered if Bai Zhu hadn't finished speaking.
Bai Zhu didn't say any more and looked at Yan Yan's back.
Only for a moment will I forget the pain.
She felt that she could no longer have too much contact with living people who did not live long, but with her temperament, she would forget about it within an hour.
When someone close to you passes away again, you will think of the pain you feel now.
"Boss, she is so well protected." Wu Xin appeared next to Bai Zhu.
Yan Yu has never truly suffered. Even though she is the ghost king of the ten directions and her ghost power is so powerful that she has no rivals in the Yin and Yang worlds, Wu Xin and Qing Mian always follow her closely.
I am always worried that she will be deceived or suffer other harm.
There is always a special attraction about Yan Yu, which makes people or ghosts close to her try their best to protect her.
Even though he knew that Yan Yan was well protected, he still couldn't bear to let her face the pain.
Just watch her play tricks on people and ghosts without any worries.
Bai Zhu looked faintly into the distance.
They thought they were protecting Yan Yu, but Yan Yu was actually protecting them.
What Yan Yu had in mind was "them", not "him".
This courtyard is a second-entry courtyard. Yan Hexing has a side room, Yan Yu and Bai Zhu have one room, and other entourages are free to do so.
Yan Yu looked around the whole yard and found every room.
She saw a rope used for hanging in the east wing and the well in the backyard, both of which contained heavy Yin energy.
These Yin Qi are just heavier than ordinary places, and the ghosts wandering here will not harm people.
Therefore, no strange things have happened in the village.
But they live in this deadly courtyard, and if something strange happens tonight, they will really be sorry for the lingering negative energy here.
"We live in the west wing." Yan Yan said first.
It didn't matter which wing Yan Hexing lived in, but the east wing was obviously more comfortable than the west wing, so he hesitantly asked around.
"It's okay. I like sleeping on the kang. The harder the bed, the better." Yan Yan opened his eyes and lied, "By the way, you couldn't sleep well at night, so you screamed at the top of your lungs."
Yan Hexing nodded as if he understood.
After almost turning into a human pig at the inn, he now even sleeps with his heart in mind.
After returning to the room, Yan Yan was worried and wanted to look at Yan Hexing with evil intentions, but he was afraid that the ghost would not come out if the evil intentions were gone.
If the ghost doesn't appear, won't she have no fun?
