Demon Slayer

The snow is getting bigger and bigger. This is the first snow that the north has ushered in this year.Under the cold moonlight, the earth is covered with silver.

The brazier in the guest room on the third floor was crackling. Looking at the heavy snow falling outside the window, Yao Nong drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine on the table.

He couldn't help sighing softly, even though thousands of years have passed, the wine still tastes the same, the bean cake is still sweet and greasy, and the furnishings in the room are still the same.Yao Nong's eyes were a little red, as if nothing had changed.

Bai Changting looked at Yao Nong, "Like this place? Why don't you just buy it."

Yao Nong waved his hands drunkenly, "Forget it, why buy it? I don't have time to take care of this Xueyue Tower."

"If you don't have time to take care of it, you can hire someone to take care of it. You can be an idle shopkeeper. It's convenient if you want to drink."

"No, no need." Yao Nong lay down on the table drunkenly, "Buy, buy it, it will only add to the sadness."

Bai Changting was silent for a moment, seeing that Yao Nong didn't speak anymore, he got up and hugged him to the bed, pinched Yao Nong's face, and said with a smile: "Your drinking capacity is getting worse and worse."

Yao Nong turned over in a daze, and continued to sleep.

Bai Changting suppressed his smile, and stared deeply at Yao Nong.

After a long time, he extinguished the oil lamp and lay down beside Yao Nong.Bai Changting stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, inhaling the scent of Yao Nong's body.

Bai Changting's heart beat fast, as if something was about to overflow.He really didn't know why he had this emotion. He thought about it for a long time, thinking of a splitting headache, but he couldn't find the answer.

Just when he was drowsy, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear:

"You still don't understand love? But I do. Loving someone... will hurt here..."

Bai Changting suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately looked at the person in his arms, Yao Nong smiled, obviously in a dream.

Bai Changting frowned, and the familiar voice kept echoing in his ears. When he closed his eyes, the image of Yao Nong kneeling in a pool of blood with a demon-slaying knife stuck in his chest always appeared in his mind.

During his coma period, he would often dream about scenes related to bewitching.These pictures are very real, as if they really existed, but I can't find any traces in my memory.

Bai Changting bit his lip, his heart ached, he buried his face in Yaoyong's chest, what happened?

……

On the second day, the sun rose three poles.

Yao Nong slowly opened his eyes, he looked around, he was the only one in the huge guest room.

He rubbed between his brows, put on his shoes, walked to the window, and pushed it open.The oncoming cold wind completely awakened Yao Nong. Wherever he looked, it was covered with snow, and the snow on the eaves was three feet thick. It must have snowed all night.

After closing the window, he turned around and was about to pour tea, when he happened to see a big bulging money bag on the table.On the purse was a piece of paper with words on it.

The words were left by Bai Changting, to the effect that Yao Nong bought this restaurant, and he would pay for it.

Yao Nong opened the purse, a bag full of gold bars was a bit dazzling, Yao Nong was surprised, never thought Bai Da Shangxian was so rich.He touched the money bag on the table and smiled, since the money was paid by Bai Changting, it would be worthless.

Looking at everything in the room, the past suddenly came to mind.

……

One year at the beginning of winter, Shangguan Jue was just recovering from a long illness.Yao Nong decided to go out with Shangguan Jue to relax.Shangguan Jue wanted to see the snow, so the two drove for many days to the north.

At that time, the north was still the territory of the Huns. After entering the capital, the two settled down in Xueyue Tower.The beautiful scenery here, the heavy snow, the simple folk customs, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, everything here deeply attracted Shangguan Jue.

Shangguan Jue loves Xueyuelou's sweet-scented osmanthus wine the most, and he can't stop drinking it.Yao Nong doesn't like this wine very much, the taste is very weak and too strong.He likes the bean cake from Xueyuelou, it is sweet but not greasy.

The two stayed for a few days, and on the day before they left, the proprietress gave them a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus and a box of bean cakes for them to eat on the way.

But not long after leaving the city, the oncoming carriage suddenly bumped over, the wine jar was shattered, and the bean cake was soaked in the wine.The coachman hurriedly got out of the car to apologize, but the people sitting in the car did not get out of the car for a long time.He couldn't get angry, and he didn't care who was in the car, so he rushed in and beat him up, and then he calmed down.

A few years later, Shangguan Jue was imprisoned, and Bai Changting took Yao Nong to the north to handle official business, where he stayed in Xueyue Tower.

One late night, when Yao Nong and Bai Changting were sitting on the second floor drinking and admiring the snow, Bai Changting slightly talked about the past.

Coincidentally, it turned out that the person who was beaten up by the demon in the car was Bai Changting.

Yao Nong immediately laughed and said, "If I had known that person was you, I would have kicked him a few more times."

Bai Changting looked aggrieved, and thought: I can't afford to provoke you!Can't afford it!

Yao Nong got up and lay down on the railing, looking at Baiyue Baixue in the distance, exhaled hard, and said softly: "This place is really nice, there are bean cakes, Baixue, and Osmanthus stuffed that A Jue likes... I really want to buy it here .”

Bai Changting looked at Yao Nong's back and smiled.

……

Came back to his senses, Yao Nong tidied up, picked up the heavy purse and went downstairs.

Xueyuelou was full of guests as usual, and the coquettishly summoned the store clerk and asked, "Is your shopkeeper here?"

The boy was only in his teens, and he couldn't help being stunned when he saw a beauty like Yao Nong for the first time.

Yao Nong saw that the boy was silly but also cute, so he asked again patiently.

The little guy came back to his senses and scratched his head embarrassingly, "Ah! Yes! Yes. It just so happened that the shopkeeper came back this morning. What's the matter, son? I'll report it?"

Yao Nong handed the money bag to the boy, "Tell you shopkeepers, I want to buy this place."

"What?" The boy was dumbfounded.

The guests who heard it looked at Yao Nong, and one of the diners put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Buy this place? Little brother, don't think about it. This Xueyue Tower can stand for a thousand years, and many princes and grandchildren want to buy it." Buying this place was rejected by the shopkeeper. No matter how much gold and silver you have in your purse, you won’t be able to buy it.”

Yao Nong ignored the others, looked at the boy, with a purple light in his eyes, "Go if you are told."

The little boy broke out in a cold sweat. He took the money bag with both hands uncontrollably, and ran upstairs.

After a while, the boy came down and asked Yao Nong to go upstairs.

Yao Nong was taken to a first-class room on the third floor. He had just entered the door and before he settled down, he heard someone behind the screen say: "Xueyue Building will not be sold, no matter how much money it is. I will ask the assistant to put the money bag in it." It’s by the window, you’d better take the money and leave.”

Yao Nong was surprised, why did this voice sound so familiar?He quickly walked behind the screen, and when he saw this mysterious shopkeeper, he was shocked and said: "Bongshu?"

Seeing that it was a demon, Feng Shu was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Do you want to buy this place?"

Yaoyong nodded and said yes.

"But seriously?"

"nature."

Feng Shu sighed, "You don't need to buy it, this place is yours."

Yao Nong frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Young Master bought this place back then and planned to give it to you. But before you could say it, you were promoted to immortality. Before you ascended to immortality, Young Master told me to take good care of this place. If one day you want this Xueyue Tower, you can put it Leave it to you. After the young master ascended to immortality, he forgot about the mundane affairs, so I didn't mention it to him."

Yao Nong was stunned, so he heard what he said that year...

Feng Shu got up, took out a jade box from the cabinet and handed it to Yao Nong, "Here is the house title deed and account book, and you can take care of it yourself later. I will be merciful and not ask you to take care of it for you all these years." Xueyue Building’s wages are gone.”

Feng Shu walked out of the screen and was about to go out when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the money bag by the window, looked at it carefully for a while, and smiled, "The money... belongs to our young master, right?"

"Yeah, he asked me to buy this place."

"This is all your savings..." Feng Shu rolled his eyes, "Since I didn't spend this money, I will take it back for you."

Yao Nong quickly ran to the window, pressed the money bag, and hooked the corner of his mouth, "It's a good idea, since the money is in my hands, it's mine."

Feng Shu glared at Yao Nong, and after a while, he sighed helplessly, that's all, anyway, as long as he likes you, he will give you anything.

After Feng Shu left, Yao Nong sat in the room and looked at the money bag in a daze.

Bai Changting, I obviously want to let go, but why can't I be ruthless?
