【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Ba Jin is actually the little wolf king that Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan met at the bottom of the Wumuzhai cliff. In just two years, it has grown into a huge physique with well-developed limbs and can command hundreds of people. A qualified wolf king of a black wolf, it is now strong and strong, and before reaching adulthood, its body has grown to the position of Yuan Zhongxin's waist.

The fairy is a white elk that lives in the deep red maple forest all the year round. When Yuan Zhongxin sneaked out of the dungeon a year ago, he rescued it accidentally fell into the deep pit by chance. It looks very good-looking, and it is also a doe. Yuan Zhongxin casually named it Fairy. When Tang Shun knew the name, he made fun of it for several days.

Yuan Zhongxin patted Ba Jin's head with crooked eyes, and then touched the fairy's delicate and beautiful antlers. He chuckled and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back. If you come back late, Tang Shun should scold you again." me."

Bajin blinked his eyes, it is very human, especially in front of Yuan Zhongxin who gets along day and night, sometimes it only needs a simple sentence from Yuan Zhongxin, and it can understand the other party's intentions, it whimpers lowly, and obediently bows down body, let Yuan Zhongxin sit on his back.

Yuan Zhongxin lightly jumped onto Bajin's back, and after sitting firmly, he reached out and patted the back of Bajin's head. The next second, Bajin and the fairy were running side by side, and ran quickly outside the red maple forest.

Although Bajin ran fast, Yuan Zhongxin was extremely stable sitting on it. Even if he let go of Bajin's fur with both hands, he didn't have to worry about falling to the ground. He took out a palm-sized brown The burlap bag, looking carefully at today's harvest: "Two emerald pebbles, one amber walnut, and four red garnets—oh, it's a big loss, and there is still a small piece of yellow glaze that hasn't been dug out yet." ..."

Suddenly, the frightened birds in the mountains and forests broke through the sky, and the mountains shook for a while.

Yuan Zhongxin secretly screamed in his heart, and looked up at the gorgeous sunset that was gradually being hidden by the night. The bright moon had already risen above his head, and sporadic bright lights were quietly embellishing the night. Lightly scratched Bajin's fur: "Bajin, run faster, it's getting late, Tang Shun opened the door and waited for us."

Bajin sensed Yuan Zhongxin's movement, and silently accelerated his running speed.

A quarter of an hour later, one man and two beasts appeared in front of a waterfall, knowing where he was going to enter next, Yuan Zhongxin leaned over to get close to Bajin, buried his head in its thick hair, and the water flowed swiftly. In front of the waterfall, instead of slowing down, Ba Jin and Fairy speeded up their running pace vaguely, and then they all rushed into the waterfall and disappeared into the deep forest.

Behind the waterfall is not a rocky cliff, there is actually a cave there, it is a spacious stone road leading to the underground city - this waterfall is the third exit of the underground city, when Yuan Zhongxin and others went to the underground city with a mission, They haven't set foot here at all.

The reason why Yuan Zhongxin knew this place was because he had been living in the dungeon for the past two years, and the place where he detoxified and nourished himself was naturally the dungeon.

Tang Shun originally wanted to bring him back to Daliao, but was rejected by Yuan Zhongxin who suddenly regained consciousness. Under Yao Zhuo's suggestion, Yuan Zhongxin was asked to go to the underground city to detoxify. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it gathers the aura of heaven and earth that cannot be obtained from the outside world. For Yuan Zhongxin, whose pulse condition is extremely weak, it is extremely helpful for his health-and Tang Shun himself is the guardian of the dungeon. , Pushing the boat along the way, he simply took Yuan Zhongxin to live in the dungeon.

When he was about to reach the end of the stone path, Yuan Zhongxin jumped off Bajin's back and walked unhurriedly towards the place where there was light in front. As soon as he stepped out of the stone path, the handsome and gentle Tang Shun appeared in front of Yuan Zhongxin. In Zhong Xin's sight, the former's face was indifferent, slightly condensed, with a slightly sullen expression.

Yuan Zhongxin blinked, screaming in his heart that something was wrong, and he immediately showed a sneer: "What a coincidence, Brother Tang, have you eaten yet?"

Tang Shun looked at Yuan Zhongxin, who was quite a rascal, and he couldn't get angry. He frowned slightly, and his voice was cold: "I said something, I told you to come back before sunset, you're good, you don't come back until it's dark , if something unexpected happens, how can I explain to your family?"

Yuan Zhongxin pouted aggrievedly, and said sullenly: "It's so serious, isn't it just a little late to come back, besides, Ba Jin and the fairy are here, what accident can happen to me..."

Tang Shun squinted his eyes, and his tone was vaguely warning: "Do you still dare to quibble?"

Yuan Zhongxin immediately shut up, looking obedient.

When Tang Shun saw his appearance, his heart softened before he was exhausted. He sighed helplessly in his heart, his cold tone softened a little, and he said earnestly: "I know you are so bored to panic in the dungeon, It’s understandable to want to go out to get some fresh air, and I didn’t let you go out, but it’s an extraordinary period recently, and the last five bloodlettings will be completed in the next half a year. All the suffering will be in vain—you can endure it obediently for half a year, as long as the poison is cured, you can go wherever you want.”

Yuan Zhongxin knew that Tang Shun was doing this for his own good, he nodded obediently, and said in a firm tone: "I see, I promise that I will definitely come back here before sunset next time! Is this all right for the head office?"

Tang Shun stared at him deeply for a long while, and his anger was gone. What else could he say, so he said, "Let's go, it's time to eat."

Yuan Zhongxin hurriedly followed. Today, he was so focused on digging for treasure that he forgot to eat. Now that Tang Shun reminded him, he was really hungry.

The two people and the two beasts walked through the intertwined and complicated aisles, and finally came to a bright and spacious room. There was a square wooden table in a corner of the room, and on the table were two bowls and chopsticks and several plates of meals.

Yuan Zhongxin waited for Tang Shun to serve him a meal. He glanced around and asked puzzledly, "Where is Yaozhuo? Doesn't she eat?"

Tang Shun's hand that was handing the rice bowl paused, his eyes flickered, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "She went back to Kaifeng, saying she was going to see Xiaojing and the others."

As soon as these words came out, the air froze and silence filled the room.

Yuan Zhongxin blinked lightly, and the pork belly in his mouth immediately became tasteless, like chewing wax. He lowered his eyes slightly, and a bit of loneliness flashed across his eyes. It is generally uncomfortable to be choked by something.

Xiaojing, Zhao Jian, Xue Ying, Wei Yanei, elder brother, An Lijiu and so on.

And... Wang Kuan.

Tang Shun looked at Yuan Zhongxin worriedly, and shouted worriedly: "Yuan Zhongxin..."

Yuan Zhongxin regained his focus, with a faint smile on his lips: "I'm fine, let's eat."

Tang Shun looked at Yuan Zhongxin who was smiling wryly but didn't know it, and felt very uncomfortable. He hesitated to speak, hesitating.

Sensing his hesitation, Yuan Zhongxin couldn't help becoming nervous. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter, did something happen to Wang Kuan and the others?"

Tang Shun shook his head: "No, they are fine, nothing happened."

On the contrary, those who have harmed you will end up miserable...

Hearing this, Yuan Zhongxin's heart slowly settled down. He poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, and suddenly asked, "Wang Kuan, how is he? Is he doing well?"

A trace of complexity flashed across Tang Shun's eyes, he hesitated again and again, and decided to answer truthfully: "Not very good."

Yuan Zhongxin's fingertips trembled slightly, like a stick in his throat, he bit the tip of his tongue, and his voice trembled slightly: "What's wrong?"

"He killed a lot of people."

Yuan Zhongxin suddenly shifted his gaze to Tang Shun, with an unbelievable expression on his face, he murmured blankly: "I shouldn't, I... I clearly told him, he promised me not to kill people... ..."

Yuan Zhongxin's words stopped immediately, and he suddenly recalled Wang Kuan's answer. He did promise himself, but what he said was "I will try my best".

In the end, Wang Kuan's hands were stained with blood because of himself.

Because of Tang Shun's words, Yuan Zhongxin didn't even have the mood to eat. He stopped his chopsticks in a daze, and came to the top of the dungeon in a daze. There was a man-made skylight there. You can see the bright starry sky.

Bajin sensed Yuan Zhongxin's discomfort, and obediently lay beside Yuan Zhongxin, the light in his eyes was no longer as excited as before, and there was still a bit of human trouble in the vagueness.

Yuan Zhongxin looked up at the extremely beautiful night sky, his heart was oppressed by layers of thoughts, which made him almost breathless, and he said softly, feeling lost: "Autumn is almost over half, the New Year is coming soon, right?"

The corners of his eyes suddenly felt sore, and the bitterness washed over his heart countless times. He unconsciously stroked Bajin's back with his hand, and said to himself, his tone was lonely, and his voice was as soft as a misty cloud of smoke: "I used to celebrate New Year's Eve before." At that time, it was very lively, and everyone was there——Bajin, did you know that we had two wolves like you in Qizhai at that time, called half a catty, but later, Baliang disappeared, and it fell asleep..."

"We set off fireworks after the New Year's Eve dinner. During the fireworks, Wang Kuan made a wish, but until now, I don't know what he wished. He didn't tell me. He said that if he told me, God would not Appeared..."

"Later, during the Lantern Festival, Wang Kuan guessed the lantern riddles. His answer was the best. He won the most beautiful lantern in the small stall, and he gave it to me. I kept that lantern all the time. During the fast, I go to light a candle every night, it’s beautiful.”

"Wang Kuan said before that he wants to have a place in me that will always belong to him. I know all of this. What was painted, I really want to know, but I didn’t look in the mirror, he said he didn’t want others to see it, it’s his secret—he wants it, so I’ll give it to him.”

"But he is a fool, why is he so stupid? Didn't he ever think that he already has something in me that belongs only to him in this life?"

"Or, my heart is not a thing, so it needs to be calculated separately?"

"I miss him so much, I really want to see him, I want to be with him, why is it so difficult?"
