Deep in the night knowing the snow

Mu Tangfeng felt something was wrong, a chill spread over his back, his heart beat like a drum, and he felt a few cold and slippery eyes falling on him.

His eyes fell on the red purse of the beggar, the corners of his lips were pursed, his back was straightened, and he walked towards the beggar bravely.

A thick gray stubby tail flashed before his eyes, and something cold and fluffy wrapped around his ankle.

Mu Tangfeng looked down and saw a long thick rat tail wrapped around his ankle, and the beggar not far away suddenly let out a weird laugh.

"Squeak - crunch -"

The smile on the beggar's face continued to widen, the corners of his mouth grinned to the base of his lips, his eyes bulged out, staring at him closely, the eyeballs turned yellow, like a puppet whose skin had been peeled off to control its forced smirk.

After Mu Tangfeng reacted, he turned his head and ran, the mouse tail wrapped around his ankles became tighter, and with a slight tug, he fell to the ground.

"Squeak-"

The beggar behind him stood up, his whole body twitched as he laughed, and walked towards him step by step while holding the red money bag, drooling from the corners of his grinning lips.

A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Mu Tangfeng's forehead. His cold fingers pressed against the cracks in the blue bricks on the ground, and he looked sideways, just in front of the statue of the rat demon in the shrine next to him.

The rat monster had its tail hanging down, a smile on its face, its sharp teeth were exposed, its gray ears seemed to be moving, its black eyes shone slightly, and the corners of its lips curled into a grin.

The mouse tail pulled Mu Tangfeng back a little, the clothes rubbed against his body with a slight pain, seeing the beggar behind him about to rush towards him, Mu Tangfeng turned to the side, and held the silver in his sleeve. White dagger.

A strong wind suddenly passed through his ears, Mu Tangfeng looked aside, and Xie Hanyu came to him at some point.

Xie Hanyu threw a yellow talisman in his hand, the beggar's eyes were about to burst, he uttered a scream, a burst of black air came out of his body, and he fell to the ground and passed out.

The mouse demon in the shrine seemed to "bang", a gap appeared on the face, and it was broken into two halves.

Xie Hanyu stepped forward and snatched the red purse from the beggar's hand.

Mu Tangfeng stood up from the ground, his face still pale, "Mr. Xie, you saved me again."

"Thank you very much..." Mu Tangfeng's eyes fell on the yellow talisman on the beggar's body, "My lord is so powerful, you know how to control monsters?"

Xie Hanyu handed him the money bag, "I was afraid that something might happen to my son, so I followed him all the way. This talisman was requested by the same master as me before, and I didn't expect it to come in handy."

Mu Tangfeng smiled weakly, and said gratefully, "You and I met by chance, and the young master did not hesitate to take risks to save me. This is a great kindness, and Mu will always remember it in his heart. If the young master needs my help in the future, I will go through fire and water."

Xie Hanyu's temples twitched, and he smirked, "It's a little effort, my lord is serious."

"This place is extremely cloudy, young master has been reckless today, so don't ask someone to come to this place alone in the future."

Mu Tangfeng nodded, feeling a little embarrassed, "I won't do it next time."

The two of them walked out together, and Mu Tangfeng put the red money bag into his sleeve.

"Actually, it's not just because of this place. I have a special physique since I was a child, and I often meet some monsters and ghosts... Now, I'm used to it."

Xie Hanyu raised his eyebrows, "Often? It's really not easy for Mr. Mu to survive until now."

The corners of Mu Tangfeng's lips raised slightly, "If I say I'm lucky, I meet these things every time. If I say I'm unlucky, I've been rescued from monsters several times."

"Maybe it's because I often meet noble people, such as Mr. Xie."

Xie Hanyu's ears would be callused if he flattered like this since he was a child. He raised the end of his eyes and met Mu Tangfeng's sincere eyes, which were full of gratitude and sincere admiration, and the perfunctory words lingered on his lips. went back.

The two of them returned to the inn along the way, and Mu Tangfeng went to the water room to take a bath again.

The snow-white inner shirt was taken off, his skin was white, and it was easy to leave marks. He had bruises on several places on his body when he fell before, and he looked a little scary.

Mu Tangfeng avoided a few marks and changed his clothes after taking a shower.I washed the clothes together and hung them to dry on the window sill behind.

When entering the room, Xie Hanyu took off his coat and sat on the side of the bed. Mu Tangfeng dried his hair, found a pen and paper from the luggage, sharpened the inkstone and started to paint.

He randomly drew a few landscapes and towers, with artistic poems next to him. His handwriting is delicate and meaningful, which looks extremely pleasing to the eye.

Xie Hanyu came next to him, and leaned over to look at it for a while, "Do you know how to draw?"

Mu Tangfeng tapped his pen, and clicked some peach blossoms on the peach tree, "I used to draw casually for fun, but later I found that I could sell them for money, so I practiced for a few years."

Xie Hanyu, "How much can a pair of calligraphy and painting sell for?"

"Five cents a piece, ten cents for a portrait, drawn on the spot."

After Mu Tangfeng finished the last painting, he put the ink brush beside the inkstone, waiting for the painting to dry on the table, then rolled it up and put it in a pile on the table.

The candlelight was flickering beside the bed, Mu Tangfeng looked at Xie Hanyu, "Young Master Xie, how should we rest tonight?"

Xie Hanyu, "There is no extra bedding, you sleep inside, I sleep outside."

Mu Tangfeng responded, and got on the inner side of the bed, Xie Hanyu was lying outside, the candlestick was extinguished, and there was half an arm's distance between them.

The shadows of bamboo leaves outside the window are reflected on the vermilion lacquered window rails, the smoke stove in the room is smoldering, the moonlight shines through and sprinkles on the ground, and there are slight footsteps outside the door.

There was an even breathing sound from the side, and Xie Hanyu suddenly opened his eyes.

A ray of cool air came in through the gap, and the window opened at some point.

The lavender demonic aura spread in, jumped over him and stretched towards Mu Tangfeng who was inside.

Xie Hanyu stretched out his hand to hold the ray of monster energy, and squeezed it lightly, the lavender monster energy dissipated in the air, and a figure appeared in the room.

A woman was hiding in the dark, she couldn't see her face clearly, she could only see her slender figure and the flower buds on her forehead.

There are a lot of crabapple flowers in full bloom on the Bu Yao, and the blue gilt inside floats up and down in the petals as it moves, and the pearls and emeralds below collide together to make a crisp sound.

Xie Hanyu glanced over from the corner of his eyes, with a calm expression, "Tell your master, I want this man, don't try to get his idea."

The woman smiled softly, and under the moonlight, a corner of her scarlet begonia-patterned dress appeared.

"What a coincidence, my master will also decide on this person."

"Your Excellency... don't you want to make an enemy of Jiu Que Ling?"

Xie Hanyu sat up, her long black hair was scattered by her side, the dark eyes surged in her narrow and deep eyes, her cold white fingers moved slightly, the woman was lifted out of the dark, and he grabbed her by the neck.

There was a little playfulness in the deep voice.

"So what if you are an enemy? I have practiced for thousands of years... Do you think that I will be afraid of you, the nine-pillar demon spirit?"

The woman's gorgeous face became whiter and whiter under Xie Hanyu's hands, her lavender demonic aura floated, and was scattered in mid-air before it took shape, her beautiful eyes gradually widened, her hands fell powerlessly on the ground.

Xie Hanyu squeezed it hard, and with a "click", the woman's neck was broken, and the lavender demonic aura dissipated, turning into a dying flower snake on the ground.

The window was closed silently, Xie Hanyu smashed the flower snake on the ground, and lay down again.

He glanced sideways at someone who was sleeping soundly on the side of the bed, and saw that the person's face flushed from sleep, half of his body leaned towards him, his head rubbed against his pillow, and his breath sprayed onto his neck side.

Xie Hanyu stared at his face, clicked his tongue, and kicked the leg of the person beside him, kicking him away from him.

Mu Tangfeng frowned, his fair face was slightly dissatisfied, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly.

Not long after, Xie Hanyu just closed his eyes when a head suddenly appeared in his arms.The person beside him turned over, lay on his body, grabbed his neck with his hands, touched his face with the corner of his lips, sniffed it with the tip of his nose, said "it smells good", and bit him on the face a mouthful.

Mu Tangfeng bit him for a while but failed to move, then lay down on him again and remained still.

"..."

Xie Hanyu lifted Mu Tangfeng's back collar expressionlessly, pulled him up, stretched out his hand and threw it lightly, and threw him under the bed.

Mu Tangfeng didn't feel anything when he threw it with a bit of mana, and was still sleeping at the foot of the table.

It's just that he didn't sleep very comfortably, and the center of his eyebrows was always wrinkled.

Xie Hanyu wiped his face with a handkerchief, looked at a dead pig lying on the ground and was still sleeping, sneered in his heart, and took up the entire bed with the quilt in his arms.

A good night's dream.

The next morning, Mu Tangfeng felt as if he had been kicked twice on his buttocks. He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the red lacquered table legs. He was under the bed, his neck twisted a little. It hurts.

He sat up, saw Xie Hanyu still asleep on the bed, and was stunned for a moment.

He remembered that he obviously slept in it yesterday, so why did he still fall off the bed?

Xie Hanyu woke up leisurely, looked at him under the bed in surprise for a moment, "Mr. Mu, what's going on with you?"

Mu Tangfeng rubbed his head, "I don't know why I'm under the bed..."

"Maybe it fell because I was too dishonest last night?"

Mu Tangfeng was a little embarrassed, "Fortunately, the young master did not fall with me."

"I'll sleep outside tonight."

Xie Hanyu said hello, and the two went to wash up. When they came back, Xie Hanyu handed Mu Tangfeng a jade talisman.

The jade talisman is a nine-tailed fox carved from white jade. The jade is crystal clear and feels clean and cool to the touch. There are some incomprehensible charms engraved on the back.

Mu Tangfeng saw that the fox looked familiar, and heard Xie Hanyu say beside him, "This is a talisman that can ward off evil spirits. I have something to do during the day and I can't accompany you. This jade talisman is for your self-defense."

"Young master, this is too expensive, I can't take it."

Xie Hanyu stuffed the jade talisman into his hand, "I still have a lot of such spiritual objects, young master just take it, if something happens to you when you go out alone, I will feel guilty about it."

The jade talisman was warm in his hand, Mu Tangfeng bent his eyes at him, "Then I will thank you sir."

"My lord treats me like this, so I won't call you your lord in the future, how about calling you elder brother?"

Xie Hanyu wanted to call him Grandpa, so he raised his lips and smiled, "Okay."
