"What's the matter?" Du Sumu lightly poked Yan Ke's cheek, "The face is so long."

Yan Ke didn't realize that she had been keeping a straight face.From the moment he saw Du Sumu making fun of the two little girls, he felt unhappy in his heart, and when he entered the dim sum shop, the corners of his mouth were still drooping.

When he heard Du Sumu ask him something, but he answered truthfully, it would appear that he was too petty, so he turned his head and kept silent.

Du Sumu cleared his throat. "This benefactor." He bent down, looked at Yan Ke, squinted his eyes and pretended to say, "I see that your seal is dark today, and your complexion is not good. I am afraid that disaster is imminent. Why don't you ask the old man to show you the palmistry, If there are one or two disasters, it can be resolved."

After all, he ignored Yan Ke and ignored him, grabbed his hand and opened it, looked at Yan Ke's palm print with a serious look, then said "um" a few times in a serious manner, and then shook his head.

"Little benefactor." Du Sumu said solemnly, "According to the observation of the old Taoist, the little brother is not in trouble, but sick." He stretched out his finger and poked Yan Ke's chest, "Heart disease."

Yan Ke watched Du Sumu's performance speechlessly.Du Sumu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"The benefactor's illness is also common." He shook his head with a mysterious look, "it's just..." He blinked, "It's just lovesickness."

Yan Ke's heart skipped a beat.Du Sumu looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Let me guess where the disease came from?" He whispered, "Did it come from when we were on the street?"

Yan Ke's heart was pounding violently in his chest.He looked at Du Sumu with some fear, but also some anticipation.

"However, your illness has already run away! I can't catch you back! Your illness cannot be cured." Du Sumu suddenly laughed, "Those two girls are pretty good-looking, tell me which one do you like?" ?”

Yan Ke suddenly felt short of breath.He quickly withdrew his hand from Du Sumu's, and was almost laughed at by the man in front of him.But Du Sumu didn't realize it, and still pretended to say: "Although the girl is gone, your illness can be cured. I have a panacea here, just take it."

After finishing speaking, he took out a piece of caramel from his sleeve, peeled off the paper and stuffed it into Yan Ke's mouth.Yan Ke bit the candy, couldn't help but glared at Du Sumu.

"Childish," he said.

"Guest officer, your snacks are ready." The shopkeeper raised his voice.

"Here we come." Du Sumu replied, and brought a large bag of pastries.He took out a piece of sesame cake, stuffed it into Yan Ke's hand, and patted his head.

"Let me ask you," Du Sumu said, "The two girls just now..."

"I didn't mean that!" Yan Ke said angrily, almost crushing the sesame cake on his hand.Du Sumu couldn't help laughing.

"I'm not asking you that," he said, "one of those two girls is not human. Do you see that?"

Yan Ke froze for a moment. "...Is that the girl with the pointed chin?" He thought for a while and asked.

Du Sumu nodded. "That girl is a snake demon," he said. "She has a high level of cultivation, and she should be able to control hundreds of snakes to follow her."

"What is she doing in this city?" Yan Ke asked.

Du Sumu blinked. "I guess," he said softly, "she fell in love with another girl and wanted to make friends with her, so she turned into a peer and stayed by her side."

"... Isn't this very good." Seeing the worried expression in Du Sumu's words, Yan Ke couldn't help but wondered.

Du Sumu shook his head: "Snakes are commanded by the snake demon, and they follow the snake demon at any time. It is autumn and winter, and the snakes are preparing to hibernate, so there is no trouble. And in spring, hundreds of snakes are in Yicheng. When you wake up, the consequences will be disastrous."

"What's more," Du Sumu said softly, "I can smell the smell of raw rice on that round-faced girl. I'm afraid it's the daughter of the treasurer in this city. If spring comes, snakes are rampant, and the grain harvest fails, and the one who is most responsible must be It's the girl's family. It's fine if the residents don't know the reason, but if one day they find out, the girl's family will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in this city."

Yan Ke looked at Du Sumu: "So the hairband you left for that girl, the words written on it are to persuade her to leave early, not to tease her?"

Du Sumu pursed his lips and smiled, and scratched Yan Ke's nose. "How can I molested her," he said while rubbing Yan Ke's head, "I have lived for so many years, and you are the only one who molested the most."

Yan Ke's heart felt warm, and the caramel in his mouth became extremely sweet in an instant.After Du Sumu kneaded enough, he put down his hands.He narrowed his gaze, as if he was thinking about something, his face gradually sank.

"She must go," Yan Ke heard Du Sumu murmur, "If something happens next, if she is in the city, someone will definitely set the blame..."

Yan Ke was puzzled, and was about to ask, but Du Sumu smiled at him, with no trace of worry on his face. "Where are you going next?" He asked Yan Ke with bright eyes, with a look of great interest, "How about going to the monkey show?"

Yan Ke naturally agreed, no matter where Du Sumu went, he would not have any opinion.The two wandered around the street for a long time, and they didn't return to the compound until the sun went down.

Pushing open the door of Du Sumu's room, he saw Zhao Xuehan sitting at the table, playing with the hair of the wolf's hair in such a bored way that he would tear a pen bald.Seeing the two of them coming back, he immediately pretended to be wronged and said, "You two went out to have fun, and you didn't take me with you."

"You are in confinement." Du Sumu smiled, "Have you copied the Meditation Sutra a hundred times?"

"I'm done copying." Zhao Xuehan replied, pointing lazily at the stack of papers on the table, "I can finally go out, right?"

Du Sumu looked in the direction of the pile of papers, but nodded without checking. "Okay. But," he smiled at Zhao Xuehan, "tomorrow is the last day of the winter meeting. There will be no forum. The disciples are on vacation, so they can play freely. I want to get together with Fang Hai and Liang Duo, Let's talk about something. It's not appropriate to take Yan Ke with you. Look at you..."

"I don't want to bring him." Zhao Xuehan said immediately, glaring at Yan Ke, "I kindly showed him to experience, but he was sold by this kid."

"I don't want you either!" Yan Ke retorted.

"Then what will you do tomorrow?" Du Sumu looked at Yan Ke helplessly.

"I'll just stay in the courtyard." Yan Ke said, "I've been out for many days, and I've visited almost all of Yicheng. There's nothing new about it."

"...Okay." Du Sumu hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.He opened the snack box and gave Zhao Xuehan a few pieces of snacks, but Zhao Xuehan didn't take it.

"Bought so much, are you planning to take it to the mountain to eat?" He raised one corner of his mouth, looked at Du Sumu and asked.

"Otherwise?" Du Sumu said, still stuffing the snack into Zhao Xuehan's hands.Zhao Xuehan didn't pay any attention, and stuffed them all into Yan Ke's arms.Du Sumu didn't pay attention, opened the packing bag and nodded roughly, then turned his head and sighed, looking worried.

"I actually forgot to buy pea cakes." He said, "I don't have time tomorrow, and it's impossible for my disciples to buy them. I have to go back to the mountain the day after tomorrow. I don't know when I can eat them next time."

"It's not that you forgot to buy it." Yan Ke reminded, "It's because the pea harvest was poor this year, so the dim sum shop didn't sell it. The dim sum shop owner said."

"Oh! That's right." Du Sumu suddenly said, "I forgot." After learning that he couldn't buy it, his expression became more and more frustrated.

Zhao Xuehan let out a "chi" laugh. "I really don't see what's so good about these things." After he finished speaking, he stood up from his seat, waved to Du Sumu, and turned to leave the room.

Yan Ke watched Zhao Xuehan push the door away and hesitated for a moment. "I have something to say to him." He looked at Du Sumu and said.

"Go." Du Sumu smiled and waved at him, "You don't need to ask me for instructions on everything."

Yan Ke nodded, opened the door and chased after Zhao Xuehan.When Zhao Xuehan saw Yan Ke chasing him out, he couldn't help teasing a few words, but Yan Ke ignored him.

"You have been shopping around the city for a long time." Yan Ke cut to the chase, "Tell me where there are pea cakes."

"Oh." Zhao Xuehan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that why you want to make him happy?"

"It's fine if you don't know." Yan Ke didn't bother to talk to him, and turned around quickly.Zhao Xuehan took his hand.

"Don't worry." Zhao Xuehan smiled, "I really know that there is a place that definitely sells pea cakes."

Yan Ke is skeptical. "Don't lie to me," he said.

"How could I lie to you." Zhao Xuehan blinked and smiled.

The next day, as soon as Du Sumu left the room, Yan Ke walked along the streets of the city according to the map Zhao Xuehan had drawn for him.Unexpectedly, as I walked farther and farther, I left the city unknowingly and went to the outskirts of the city.

Just when Yan Ke suspected that Zhao Xuehan had lied to him, the road indicated on the map came to an end.He looked up and found himself standing in front of a farmhouse. In the yard was an old lady who was grinding pea flour.

Yan Ke's eyes lit up, he talked with the old man, and actually bought a bag of pea cakes.He couldn't help being happy, bid farewell to the old man, and when he was about to walk back, he vaguely felt that the surrounding scenery was somewhat familiar.

Yan Ke frowned suspiciously, looked along the corner of the farmer's wall to another road, and immediately understood.He saw the ruined temple standing not far from the intersection, crumbling and very familiar.

Yan Ke curled his lips involuntarily.He didn't have a good impression of this temple, so he immediately decided to leave quickly along the way he came.However, just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly broke into his sight.

Yan Ke was startled and instantly forgot what he was going to do.He remained motionless, watching the figure appear by the side of the road, walked slowly past several farmhouses, and entered the ruined temple.

Slender, with elegant demeanor, wearing an indigo Taoist robe.

It's Dusumu.
