The villain is cold and attractive

Honglian Town was covered by mountains, located in a ravine, and the terrain was remote. Before dark, a few people found the city gate. At that time, the sky was gloomy, and it was raining heavily.

The bean-heavy rain fell, and the few people were caught off guard. The tips of their hair were soaked in an instant, and the rain slid down their cheeks and smeared on their clothes, quite embarrassing.

Jiang He Youyou took out an oiled paper umbrella, and pulled Shen Qingxiao inside.

In contrast, Qin Xueyao, who hid under the jujube tree at the entrance of the town, was still drenched, and his plain long gown was quickly soaked. After seeing Jiang He, he hurriedly said, "Give me an umbrella too!"

Jiang He asked strangely, "Don't you have one yourself?"

Qin Xueyao stomped her feet, "I have something I want to ask you for?"

Only then did Shen Qingxiao look away from Jiang He's body, the drops of water dazzled the broken hair on his forehead, some even stuck to his forehead, he ignored it, and responded to Qin Xueyao very indifferently, "No."

Jiang He couldn't help laughing, so Shen Qingxiao is really stingy, how could anyone be such a friend?

Qin Xueyao was also angry, but soon there was no rain on his head. He put down his hand covering his eyes, looked up and saw a jade bone oiled paper umbrella, turned his head, and saw Song Yun's face at a glance.

Song Yun wiped the drops of water from his forehead, and said helplessly, "Why don't you bring an umbrella when you go out?"

Qin Xueyao snatched the jade bone umbrella and said angrily, "Why didn't you take it out sooner!" After speaking, Song Yun had to bend over to catch up with Jiang He who was stepping on the mud into the rain to avoid the rain.

It's not a big deal to get wet, just dry it with spiritual power. When Qin Xueyao passed by, he saw the two people who were dry and tidy. He was so angry that he happened to hear Jiang He asking Shen Qingxiao.

"The rain is too heavy. It won't stop for a while, and it's getting dark. It seems that we have to go to Honglian Town to avoid the rain. What do you think?"

Qin Xueyao disagreed: "But the boss said in the morning that there are strange things in Honglian Town."

Jiang He asked: "You are a monk, what are you afraid of?"

Qin Xueyao was at a loss for words for a while, and retorted with a stiff neck: "I'm just a medical practitioner, and I can't fight!"

He is such an upright and confident useless doctor, Jiang He doesn't talk to him anymore, so that he won't say anything out of self-defeating.Song Yun said: "Don't worry, I will protect my brother, and I will definitely live up to my uncle's trust."

Qin Xueyao sneered: "Who wants your help? Get lost!"

Song Yun sighed, "Your temper is still so bad."

"None of your business!" Qin Xueyao glared at Song Yun angrily, and asked Shen Qingxiao, "Hey, what do you think?"

Shen Qingxiao has been staring at Honglian Town under the curtain of rain. This town has long since been empty. The high mounds of mud on the city walls and the mud bricks are being ruthlessly whipped by the rainstorm, and the muddy muddy water rolls down the walls and spreads all over the ground. The city gate was dim and muddy, and the city gate was already dilapidated, half-opened, old and decayed.

After the rain, the sky darkened, the light became dim, and the half-opened city gate was filled with fog, making it hard to see what was there, but it gave people the illusion of a ferocious beast waiting for its prey with its bloody mouth open.

Shen Qingxiao said: "There is a monster aura."

Qin Xueyao rolled her eyes, "Didn't I say it earlier, there is demon poison in it."

Song Yun nodded, "That's true. The disciples who withdrew to the Hanshan Sect said before that the inside and outside of the city are like two worlds. Separated by this gate is the Red Lotus Town that is engulfed in white mist."

Jiang He suggested, "I have to go in after all, why not go and have a look now?"

Song Yun had no opinion, and Shen Qingxiao didn't express any opinion, that is to say, he acquiesced that Qin Xueyao's opinion was not important, so Jiang He made a decision.

"Okay, let's go."

The moment the city gate was pushed open, there was a dull and hoarse moan. Inside the city gate, the overwhelming white mist was messed up by the rain.

A few people groped their way into Honglian Town. The monks naturally had better hearing and eyesight than ordinary people, and they could barely see the road under their feet, so they wouldn't get lost.

Maybe it's been a long time without the breath of a living person, and there is a faint stale smell, or a rancid smell, in the abundant water vapor permeating the deserted streets.

Song Yun greeted several people, and went to a house with Qin Xueyao. The door was not closed properly, but Song Yun opened it with a light push. Not long after they entered, they called Jiang who was waiting outside the door. He two.

Jiang He put the oil-paper umbrella under the eaves, followed Shen Qingxiao into the house one after another, and a rancid smell came over his nostrils, causing Jiang He to cover his nose.

"what happened?"

This should be a fabric shop on the street. There are various fabrics stacked on the counter. Some of them fell to the ground for some unknown reason. It is quite messy. The counter that should be spotless and the bright and beautiful fabrics are covered with a thick layer of dust. , Even the corners of the house were covered with cobwebs, probably because no one took care of them for a while.

Song Yun and Song Yun were in the room. When Jiang He entered, Qin Xueyao was checking the two people lying on the bed. No, it should be said that they were corpses. The two corpses were a man and a woman, and they were dressed in good materials. Maybe they were from this shop. The bosses, all in their early twenties, were lying lifelessly on the bed at the moment. Since they had been dead for a long time, their corpses gave off a rancid smell.

After Qin Xueyao finished the inspection, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, wiping each finger very carefully, "It's been dead for at least two months, and it must have been starved to death. There is a slight poison in the body, but it is not fatal. "

Song Yun guessed: "Perhaps it was trapped by the thick fog, lost the opportunity to go out, and was poisoned by the fog, so it could only wait for death."

"First opportunity?" Jiang He didn't understand.

Song Yun explained: "Senior brother has seen that there is indeed demon poison in the mist, and it may be a poison that can make people lose consciousness completely. Once inhaled too much, they will fall into a coma and consume all their body in endless sleep. energy, so they died without any struggle and looked peaceful."

Qin Xueyao frowned, "The demon poison in the mist is actually not that strong, at least I don't see anything powerful about it now. The disciples sent by the Cold Mountain Sect before may have low cultivation levels, and they have been infected with it over time like these common people." Only the demon poison will be trapped in it."

Jiang He nodded clearly, "So, most of the villagers who were caught in the poisonous mist but had no time to leave Honglian Town died under the poisonous mist, why don't we check other places first?"

It has been three months since the fog erupted in Honglian Town. If ordinary people cannot leave the town, even if they still have food at home, they will fall into a deep sleep after inhaling too much fog, and sleep forever.

As a result, everyone can guess that after Jiang He proposed, neither Song Yun nor Qin Xueyao had any objections, and Qin Xueyao's expression even became serious.

Afterwards, several people found several households trapped in the street, and they died peacefully in their sleep just like the owner and his wife of the cloth shop.

The sky was completely dark, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it never stopped.

The fog was still very thick at night, and it was a vast expanse of darkness, and the surrounding area was quiet, with no human beings at all.Several people used the light of the glazed lamp that Song Yun took out to illuminate the path under their feet.

Qin Xueyao suddenly felt a ray of coolness rushing up behind her, and she folded her arms and grasped the handle of the umbrella. Fortunately, Song Yun soon picked a place to stop, and turned around and said: "It's getting late, let's rest here tonight .”

The blue light of the glazed lamp illuminates the building in front of it, and on the plaque, the four dark brown words "Sixi Inn" faintly emit a strange black and red light, which is even more frightening on a stormy night.

Qin Xueyao was reluctant, "Do you want to leave the town?"

Song Yun pushed open the door of the inn, "Since you're here, how can you leave without checking?"

Qin Xueyao pursed her lips, and followed him into the Four Happiness Inn.

Sixi Inn is located in the center of the street. It is probably the best inn in the town. Although it is not as luxurious as the inn in Yunhui City, it is not small, simple and clean, but because no one has been there for more than three months, the inn has been from the counter to the lobby. The tables were covered in dust.

There were a lot of things in the inn that were too late to move. After they went in, they quickly found a candle and lit it. The bright yellow light illuminated the downstairs lobby of the inn, which added some warmth to the empty and dead lobby. The glazed lamp was put away.

"It's quite clean here, and there's no one there." After looking around, Jiang He and Shen Qingxiao walked back, "The guest rooms are all empty, but all the belongings are gone. I guess the shopkeeper and the staff are running fast."

Shen Qingxiao looked at the wind and rain outside the inn door, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier."

The sound of the rain never stopped, crackling, rumbling and thundering one after another, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, and through the window paper, you could see the flashing lightning from time to time.The rain splashed quietly on the threshold, and two oil-paper umbrellas quietly leaned against the corner of the lobby. The water droplets on the umbrellas smudged one small puddle after another on the ground.

Judging by the momentum, the rain will probably not stop tonight. In fact, they are already in the poisonous fog, but with Qin Xueyao around, they are highly skilled and bold, and no one shows timidity.

But there was nothing to be done at this time, Song Yun said: "It's getting late, I think we should rest earlier, and go out to have a look after the rain stops."

Qin Xueyao was probably a little scared, or uncomfortable, and his face was pale. After Song Yun finished speaking, he took people upstairs, but Qin Xueyao looked blank.

"Where to go?"

"Go upstairs and rest, your face is a bit ugly."

After Song Yun and Qin Xueyao went upstairs, Shen Qingxiao closed the door of the inn, and also called Shang Jianghe to go upstairs, "Qin Xueyao hasn't left Xinghai Xiaozhu for many years, in fact, his body hasn't recovered yet, don't look, go up Bar."

No wonder Song Yun took such good care of him, Jiang He was a little worried when he followed upstairs, "What about downstairs?"

Shen Qingxiao said: "There are no living people in the town, and we can't wait for any results here."

So it's better to take a break and go out to investigate after dawn or after the rain stops.

Jiang He nodded, and Shen Qingxiao directly chose a room next to the stairs on the second floor.Candles were burning in the next room, and Song Yun and Qin Xueyao were in the room.

As soon as Shen Qingxiao pushed open the door, the dust fell down, even his face was covered in ashes suddenly, Jiang He couldn't help laughing, and when Shen Qingxiao turned his head, he quickly covered his mouth and walked past him into the room.

"Clean up the room first?"

The room was dim, only a few candles were lit in front of the corridor and under the lobby. The light of the fire quietly reached the door, but they dared not come in.Jiang He was groping in the rain, when he heard a pop, the room lit up.

Shen Qingxiao closed the door and set up a barrier, "I don't know what will happen at night, so be careful tonight." After a pause, he turned around and said, "Don't fall asleep."

Jiang He nodded, seeing that he was still in the room, he was at a loss: "Then what are you doing here?"

Shen Qingxiao paused, "What do you think?"

Jiang He touched his nose.Well, Honglian Town is not safe, it is the most appropriate for Shen Qingxiao to stay in the same room with him, even Brother Song Yun lives in the same room, so he will not ask any more.

The room was dusty, Jiang He put the system on the ground, and was about to pick up the feather duster on the vase to clean it, when Shen Qingxiao suddenly reached out to stop him, Jiang He asked: "Is there a problem too?"

"No." Shen Qingxiao said, "Wait."

Jiang He became more and more puzzled, what are you waiting for?

After a while, Jiang He knew.

The room was cleaned by Shen Qingxiao. Naturally, he took care of such a trivial matter. He even tore off the quilt on the bed and took out a new one from the storage ring. If it weren't for his expression A little dignified, Jiang He thought he was on vacation.

After making the bed, Shen Qingxiao patted the soft quilt, "Go to sleep."

"Is it possible to sleep in this situation?" Jiang He felt inconceivable, "There is poisonous fog everywhere, is there something wrong with us?"

"What's wrong? Since there is nothing wrong now, Song Yun can rest assured that Qin Xueyao can rest." Shen Qingxiao said, "And don't you have to sleep every day?"

The fact is like this, but Jiang He will still be embarrassed when he calls his name, "What about you?"

Shen Qingxiao was silent for a moment, then looked at him at last and said, "I meditate to adjust my breath."

"Okay." Jiang He picked up the system at ease, sat down on the edge of the bed, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so kind to me?" He also changed the bedding and made the bed, and let him sleep on the bed, which is too strange Bar?

"I'm not in a good mood today, so I was a little fierce to you in the morning." Shen Qingxiao coughed lightly, looking at Jiang He with her phoenix eyes, "I apologize to you."

"Ah?" Jiang He was startled.

Shen Qingxiao no longer felt embarrassed after saying these words, "It was my fault that I was angry with you this morning, so Jiang He, I apologize to you."

Jiang He suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and said with a dry smile: "A little thing, you still remember." Speaking of it, he was still itchy with curiosity, "But what did I do last night to make you so angry?"

Shen Qingxiao frowned, "You really want to ask?"

Jiang He felt that his expression was not right, so that he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, but before he could speak, Shen Qingxiao told him, "You had a dream last night, hugged me, and refused to let go all night."

"What!?" Jiang He was dumbfounded.

The system in his arms was also shocked, and his pale golden pupils looked at Shen Qingxiao speechlessly, but Shen Qingxiao quickly cast a warning look, and the system had no choice but to retract its head into Jiang He's arms.

With this movement, Jiang He also came back to his senses, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "No way?"

Shen Qingxiao has been staring at him with piercing eyes, "I forgot to tell you, you can dream when you are poisoned, and what you have is a dream, if you don't have a memory, I might as well help you recall..."

"No need!" Jiang He hurriedly stopped him, he didn't want to remember at all!No wonder Shen Qingxiao woke up with such an ugly face this morning!He calmed down a bit, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked again: "I just hugged you, didn't I do anything out of the ordinary?"

Shen Qingxiao thought for a while, and raised his hand to touch Jiang He's cheek. Jiang He was terrified, as if he couldn't accept this hint, his eyes were obviously only surprised and unwilling, Shen Qingxiao lowered his eyes, and patted his cheek instead.

"Fool, I lied to you."

Jiang He was dazed, thinking that he was hallucinating, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. After regaining his senses, he was slightly angry, and slapped Shen Qingxiao's hand away, speechless, "Can this kind of thing be a joke?"

Shen Qingxiao looked down at the opened hand, the back of the hand was slightly red, and he didn't speak.

Seeing that he seemed a little aggrieved, Jiang He's heart softened inexplicably, coughed lightly, and quickly changed his words: "Then, what are you angry about this morning? Isn't it because of what I did last night?"

Just because you didn't do anything.Shen Qingxiao didn't answer, she got up and turned her back to Jiang He, sat cross-legged on the small couch opposite, and placed the long sword on the small table.

Jiang He didn't understand why, "Are you angry again?"

"Stop talking." Shen Qingxiao closed her phoenix eyes, "Sleep."

Jiang He was in the mood to sleep when he was so frightened, but they also cleaned up the bed, and it would be a waste if he didn't sleep, so he lay down with his clothes on his back a little nervously, and rubbed the system lying on his lower abdomen with one hand, looking at it. Slightly absent-minded under the bed curtain, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Shen Qingxiao, and couldn't take his eyes off for a moment.

From the appearance, Shen Qingxiao actually has the capital to be likable, he has a good face, with a little modification, he can also be stunning in women's clothing, and even more handsome in men's clothing, as perfect as a banished fairy.

It's a pity that he has a weird temper.Jiang He muttered in his heart, and turned his eyes back to the bed, thinking that he would not be able to sleep tonight, but in fact, he fell asleep very quickly.

Shen Qingxiao sat cross-legged in meditation, but there was no movement.

The rain is still falling, the doors and windows in the lobby are closed, but the few candles are still swaying by the wind from nowhere. In the corner, two oil-paper umbrellas are quietly placed on the ground, and the water droplets on the umbrellas reflect the room. candlelight.

When Jiang He woke up, it was already daylight.

Shen Qingxiao woke up before him, standing silently in front of the wide-open window sill, tall and tall, with a straight and resolute back, like a pine and a bamboo.

Jiang He lifted the quilt and got up. He didn't find the system, and he didn't know where it went. He simply didn't look for it, and walked towards Shen Qingxiao. When he got behind him, he still stared out the window without moving.

Jiang He realized what was wrong, and the hand that was about to fall on his shoulder paused.

After about a few breaths, both of them froze, neither of them moved first, and the atmosphere was weird.

Shen Qingxiao turned around when Jiang He was about to strike, looked at Jiang He's hand, "What are you doing?"

Jiang He relaxed, "I thought you were in a daze."

Shen Qingxiao shook his head, "Look outside."

"What's wrong outside? Has the rain stopped?" Jiang He didn't notice anything wrong at first, until Shen Qingxiao reminded him, he took another look, and suddenly his eyes widened with surprise, "The mist, it's gone."

Shen Qingxiao nodded and stared at Jiang He for a while. Jiang He felt that the eyes seemed unfriendly, and even saw a trace of vigilance or malice. He wanted to explain, but suddenly there was an exclamation from downstairs.

The two looked at each other.

Jiang He asked, "Go downstairs?"

Shen Qingxiao hummed, but because she couldn't believe it, she raised her hand and pinched Jiang He's cheek.

Jiang He was caught off guard, and when he subconsciously wanted to open his hand, Shen Qingxiao let go of it, turned around and passed Jiang He to open the door, and said, "It feels the same, it should be a real person."

Jiang He covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he still wanted to suspect that Shen Qingxiao had run into trouble.

It seems that both of them are not evil.

After going downstairs, the door of the inn lobby had been opened, Song Yun and Qin Xueyao were there, the candles lit last night had been burned out, and a table of candles shed tears.

"What's going on?" Jiang He asked.

Qin Xueyao stood at the door, pointed outside and said, "The sky is clear and the fog has dispersed."

Song Yun frowned and remained silent, as if he was deep in thought.

Jiang He walked to the door and took a look, then narrowed his eyes slightly and concluded, "You are dreaming."

Qin Xueyao didn't want to bother with him at first, but when he heard Jiang He's sarcasm, he still couldn't help it, and said in a low voice, "If you don't believe me, look up yourself, isn't it sunny?"

At this time Song Yun also spoke: "City Master Jiang is right, you are just dreaming."

It wasn't just once or twice that she encountered public dismantling. Qin Xueyao was furious when she heard the words, "Shut up! Don't think you are my junior brother so I won't beat you!"

Jiang He didn't hold back, "You can't beat me either, you're just a useless doctor."

Qin Xueyao was about to go crazy, and said angrily, "Get out! You liar who stole the red flame flower!"

Shen Qingxiao said indifferently: "You are indeed in a dream, this is a dream, all of us have come in. The situation is unknown, everyone should be careful, especially you, don't keep bawling, making your ears hurt."

Jiang He agreed, "That's right, it's so noisy."

"Tch, why haven't you guys been in such a tacit understanding? Husbands sing and women follow?" Qin Xueyao finished muttering, calmed down a little, looked at the sunny sky outside, and yesterday's poisonous fog had long since disappeared, and said suspiciously: "Is this really true?" Is it in a dream? This town seems really different from when we came last night."

This was really embarrassing to hear, Jiang He almost choked on his own saliva.

Song Yun walked to the door and nodded, "That's right, it shouldn't be true."

Qin Xueyao asked: "How to prove... Hey!"

Before the question was finished, Jiang He suddenly pinched his arm severely. Qin Xueyao was startled, and quickly pushed him away, "What are you doing? How dare you hit me before I settled the score with you!"

This time Song Yun didn't come to help him, but instead had a smile in his eyes.

Jiang He rubbed his chin, shook his head and said, "What's the hurry, do you feel any pain?"

"How could it not hurt..." As he spoke, Qin Xueyao paused, rubbing the pinched place with a strange expression on his face, "Really, it doesn't hurt..."

"In a dream, naturally you won't feel pain." Shen Qingxiao said aside.

Qin Xueyao believed this to be true, but she was still very angry just thinking about it, and glared at Jiang He angrily, "Then why don't you pinch yourself and try?"

Jiang He looked at someone.Actually tried it.However, he had already blocked the pain, so he could only rely on other details and let Qin Xueyao confirm it.

Shen Qingxiao stood on one side holding the long sword, his expression was as usual, without the slightest bit of guilt.
