Master Xiao thinks about those years

Yan Chen looked down, and saw an old man with frost-stained temples falling to the ground.

"Old man, are you okay?"

Yan Chen leaned over to help him up, suppressed the anger towards Fu Nian in his chest, and asked in a gentle voice.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm in good health. It's okay to fall a little." The old man waved his hands and smiled waggingly, the wrinkles on his face were huddled together.

"Thank you, young man, are you also going to receive the wedding candy?"

"Happy candy?" Yan Chen was taken aback for a moment: "Is that... the candy from Merchant Xu?"

"That's right, his daughter is getting married soon. In order to celebrate in advance, Merchant Xu has been handing out wedding candies in front of him every day!" The old man took a step forward and patted Yan Chen's hand: "If you want me to say, you are like this! The young man had better go get the candy."

Yan Chen was puzzled: "Why?"

"Good fortune! After receiving this blessed wedding candy, you will be able to find a wife in the future!"

Yan Chen: ...

He looks...is it difficult to find a wife?How old are folks begging for a wife?Yan Chen practiced the mantra in his previous life and never thought about marrying a wife, but now hearing people mention it, he just feels weird and extraordinary.

"Hey, how old are you, not more than twenty? Let's go, come with me to the front to get the wedding candy."

The old man smiled brightly, and pulled Yan Chen forward involuntarily.Yan Chen was embarrassed, wanted to refuse but couldn't match the old man's enthusiasm.

"Old man... You are so keen on wedding candies, so could it be... that you are also seeking a wife?"

Yan Chen's comprehension of the spirit mantra has reached the stage of enlightenment, but in ordinary things, his brain circuit is strange.

"Fucking! I'm such an old man, why do I want a daughter-in-law!" The old man scolded, and then said: "I'm just asking for a lottery."

During the conversation, the two had reached an open space surrounded by a crowd.

Leaping over the crowd, I saw a majestic family, with a majestic Zhumen, and two stone lions with long teeth and five claws standing under the solemn verandah.I think this is the home of the merchant Xu.

"Young man, wait for me here for a while, and I'll come back when I go." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd.Yan Chen was afraid that the old man would be knocked down again, and wanted to dissuade him, but the old man disappeared in no time.

Yan Chen had no choice but to glance at the crowd vying for gun candy, and then at where he came from, wondering if he should go back.

After walking such a distance with the old man, most of his anger towards Fu Nian has disappeared.Originally, he ran out in a fit of anger. If he didn't go back after too long, according to Fu Nian's current violent temperament, he didn't know what crazy actions he would make.

Thinking of this, Yan Chen couldn't stand still anymore, glanced at the crowded crowd, and finally walked back.

"Hey! Young man, why don't you wait for others!"

A loud voice came, Yan Chen paused his footsteps, looked back and saw the old man running fast, the old man's footsteps were fast, coupled with the loud voice, he really didn't look like an old man.

"Old man, I still have something to do..."

"Here, here it is for you!"

Before Yan Chen finished speaking, a handful of things were stuffed into his palm, and when he looked down, it was sugar cubes wrapped in red tissue paper.

"You're welcome! Young man! If you eat it, you will beg for a wife!"

The old man laughed loudly, Yan Chen frowned almost reflexively.

Asking for a daughter-in-law again...

Yan Chen looked embarrassed, but he still clenched the red sugar cube in his hand.He really doesn't like sugar, what he likes is tea, which is sweet with bitterness.But at that moment, he suddenly remembered that Fu Nian likes sweets.

In her previous life, Fu Nian succumbed to his preferences and drank tea with him for so many years pretending to like it.When Yan Chen thought of this, he felt sad.

The old man didn't know what Yan Chen was thinking, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't hide it, you still want to eat this candy to ask for a wife?"

Yan Chen was ashamed: "Old man, I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

Throwing down a word, Yan Chen almost ran away, the old man's smiling eyes made him panic, Yan Chen never wanted to hear the words "begging for a wife" again.

The street is spacious and clean, and it seems that everyone in this town has gone to the door of the Xu merchant's house, and there is no one in sight for a while.

The wind blows and the grass moves, rustling.

Yan Chen stopped abruptly.

There was someone behind him, the sound of very thin footsteps, like cloth brushing against grass blades.The visitor obviously deliberately suppressed the movement.

Yan Chen's hands began to condense water-blue mist, and suddenly, almost instantly, the footsteps approached.So close that it was almost close to his body.

Yan Chen raised his hand, the blue mist in his hand had not yet turned into a silver needle, his wrist was already tightly grasped.

"Fu, Fu Nian?" Yan Chen subconsciously called out his name.

"Otherwise, who do you think it is? Meng Huan? Oh, no, if it's Meng Huan, you should be reluctant to make a move." Fu Nian looked at her lazily, her tone was loose, and she acted like a playboy.

□□Naked provocation, so Yan Chen's anger that had just been annihilated, sprouted again.

"Don't mention Meng Huan, he is your junior brother, there is nothing between me and him!"

"What a clean one! How innocent? The one who hasn't been in bed?"

"you--!"

Yan Chen was extremely angry, and Fu Nian could always speak obscenities casually, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.

Yan Chen hated Fu Nian's self-assurance, it was logical, he wanted to correct him, but he swallowed weakly when the words of preaching reached his lips.

What do you say?Fu Nian would not listen to him.

He will only, again and again, disobey him.

"Oh, can't speak? If you can't speak, stop it. Tell me, why did you go there just now?"

Fu Nian sneered and opened his mouth loosely.

Yan Chen didn't want to talk, the sugar cube in his hand seemed to be a broken tile.

"Don't talk again?"

Yan Chen felt a headache when he heard the word "again". He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and looked at Fu Nian as calmly as possible: "Do you want to eat candy?"

"Ok?"

Fu Nian raised his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably strange.

Yan Chen opened the hand holding Fang Tang, and stretched it out in front of Fu Nian: "I just got the candy from Xu Merchant, do you want to eat it?"

"Merchant Xu?" Fu Nian frowned, "How can I eat this kind of ghost candy that is given to others?"

As he said, he raised his hand violently and overturned Yan Chen's hand.

There was a slight impact sound, and the small red cube fell to the ground.Like a crumbling ruby.

Yan Chen was stunned, he didn't recover from Fu Nian's actions, his anger was long overdue, but it didn't have any irritating effect.Yan Chen just felt tired.

"Moqing! Brother!"

A clear tone resounded in front of him, Yan Chen raised his head abruptly, and two colors, one blue and one white, came into view immediately.

The blue one is Meng Huan, and the white one is Jiang Yexiu.

"There were too many people just now, are you okay?" Meng Huan shouted from a distance.

"What's the matter? Now that everyone is here, let's go outside the city." Fu Nian took a big step, and walked out of the town as if nothing had happened.The black silk shoes were cold and hard, crushing the dots of red on the ground.

Loose and casual, as if running over dust.Yan Chen frowned lightly, his fingers hidden under his sleeves stretched slightly.

He glanced at the tall and straight black figure going away, and closed his eyes again.His eyes dropped, looking at the broken red on the ground.

The dilapidated red sugar cube lay twisted on the ground, looking miserable and helpless.

Yan Chen's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, paused for a few seconds, and finally bent his thin back.

White and slender fingers stretched out from the sleeves to pick up the survivors among the broken candies.

The red candy paper was stained with dirt, lying on Yan Chen's palm, touching the soft whiteness.Yan Chen didn't dislike it at all, he lowered his head, blowing carefully, his eyelashes fluttered, his thin lips parted slightly, like a serious child.

"Moqing! Come here, we're leaving!"

Meng Huan's shouts sounded in the distance, Yan Chen raised his head, and saw that Fu Nian and Jiang Yexiu had gone far away, only Meng Huan was still in place.While being urged, Yan Chen had no choice but to close the palm that held the three sugar cubes.Get up and go away.

Pedestrians go far away, the surrounding fields are quiet, and a breeze blows by, so the dilapidated red sugar cubes on the ground are covered with a layer of dust.

"Just now, what were you and my senior brother talking about?"

The four of them walked side by side on the way out of the town, Meng Huan suddenly called out to Yan Chen.

"It's nothing, just some... trifles."

Yan Chen held the three candies in his palm, and his throat felt a little tight when he spoke.If Meng Huan heard those filthy words in Fu Nian with his own ears, he didn't know what expression he should have on his face.

"Just now you were scattered by the crowd, is something wrong?" Yan Chen suddenly thought of it, and asked.

"It's okay, but it's just being pushed to the side of the road." Meng Huan was a little dull, and his face was moved by his concern for Yan Chen.Yan Chen didn't look at it, so he walked forward slowly.

The further you go out of the town, the narrower the road is, and the road is lined with trees, luxuriant and luxuriant.

Although there is no river in sight, the sound of water can be faintly heard.

As he was walking, Jiang Yexiu, who was ahead, staggered suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Yan Chen asked after walking behind.

"It's nothing, I probably tripped over a short wooden pier." Jiang Ye shaved his face without changing his expression, straightened his clothes and continued walking.

"There are many trees in this forest, it seems that we should be more careful."

In the sound of Meng Huan's instructions, Yan Chen looked down, and his eyes touched a piece of rotten yellow.The dark brown fallen leaves are covered on this yellow, which really looks like a short and thin wooden pier that has been truncated.

But in fact, it's not a wooden pier at all.

This rotten yellow is a white bone buried in the soil, which has been exposed to wind and sun and has changed color.

Yan Chen's blood is pure, and he is extremely sensitive to dirty and evil things, so he can recognize them naturally.When he first entered the forest, he felt a chilly air coming over him.

The sun here is dim and the atmosphere is cold, but the vegetation is abnormally lush and tall.

There are bones hidden in the soil, and dead bodies frequently haunt this place in the town. If Yan Chen guessed correctly, the lush vegetation here should have absorbed the nutrients of the dead bodies.

After walking for a while, the front of the road became a little brighter, and a trickle of water appeared in front of everyone.

The stream lies in a low green grass, and the banks are surrounded by mountains.Probably that Jinhe.

The river is really not wide, at most it is a small river, with gurgling water, calm and slow.However, both Yan Chen and Fu Nian lost their faces.

Around the river, there is a powerful evil spirit.

It is a kind of hidden evil spirit, unless it is a person with extremely high cultivation or pure blood, it cannot be detected at all.

Fu Nian looked around and raised his hand to form a red paper crane. The paper crane flew in the air and jumped towards the forest by the river.But before it touched the forest tree, it suddenly fell down.Like a fallen leaf, it drifts and falls into the stream, swirls, and disappears in the water.

Standing by the stream, Fu Nian immediately sneered.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother?" Meng Huan asked puzzled.

"It's a formation." Yan Chen said lightly: "The paper crane fell, which means someone set up a formation by this river."

"Formation... Moqing, how do you know?"

Meng Huan murmured, and asked suspiciously.As soon as the words fell, Yan Chen immediately felt three eyes falling on him.

Encountered, Yan Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Forgot not to say it.

While cramped and regretting, a cold voice sounded in front of him: "Mo Qing, you seem...to be familiar with my spells?"
