Shopkeeper and God

And I won't laugh at you because you want to find your 'dream girl'.After all, I've had weirder commissions than this one. "After he finished speaking, he finally turned his head to look at Bao Chen. He smiled at the corner of his mouth, but there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and asked again: "So, my lord, are you lying to me?" "

At that moment, Baochen was sure that if he admitted it, something would be broken between them, and they would never come back.Although he doesn't know what this kind of thing is, he knows that Lu Xing must know it better than him, and he is looking forward to it more than him at this moment.Therefore Baochen was silent, and after a long time he finally said: "I didn't lie to you, I really came here to escape marriage."

Baochen said without changing his expression, so that Lu Xing looked at him for a long time, finally raised his eyebrows, showed a relaxed smile, said "I see", and went downstairs quite relieved.On the stairs, Baochen was left standing alone, his heart beating like thunder.

why?He touched his heart, for thousands of years, there had never been such a feeling here—even at that time.

It's just that Baochen at this time simply felt that this was probably the first time he had deceived others.

No regrets at night (5)

Although Wan Qing and Shi Chaoquan lived in the store, the next morning was still normal.Lu Xing still got up early, made breakfast and respectfully offered a stick of incense to Master.It's just that Lu Xing went to see Shi Chaoquan's condition before dinner. The young man hadn't woken up yet, but his sleeping brows eased, indicating that he was in good condition.When Wan Qing's clothes were dry, she changed into her own again, and said thank you when she returned Lu Xing's clothes.One of her hairpins was missing, so only half of her long hair was tied up, and the other half was loose, which was not ugly.

After dinner, Baochen still sent Chen Yiguang to school, and he would go shopping on the way back.In the store, Lu Xing helped Wan Qing feed Shi Chaoquan medicine, but when she was about to leave, Wan Qing asked Lu Xing for some needles and threads, saying that she was going to mend some clothes.

Wan Qing's own clothes are only dirty, they can be washed and cleaned, and there is no need to mend them, so Lu Xing can guess what she needs to do with needlework.Knowing it well, Lu Xing readily lent Wan Qing his needle and thread, and went downstairs to do some work in the hall.

Wan Qing is actually not good at needlework, or in other words, her needlework is far behind her brother's skills.

It's unbelievable to think about it, but Wan Qing clearly remembers that when she was a child, she sat on her brother's lap. Her brother, who was always dissolute when he was a teenager, would show a gentle expression only for Wan Qing, threading needles and threads in his hands, for the mischievous Wan Qing. While mending the torn holes in her clothes, she would proudly say things like "We Wanqing grow up, someday, do we want to go down the mountain with my brother to play?"However, there are hundreds of years of age between them, and when Wan Qing reaches the age where she can really go down the mountain, her elder brother has already sat on the seat of the mountain god.

But even so, in Wan Qing's perception, her brother is still that gentle brother who will fulfill all her wishes and tolerate all her unreasonable troubles.Wan Qing is her elder brother's treasure, the jewel in her palm.So this time, Wan Qing took it for granted that her elder brother would agree with them being together.

However, her always gentle brother was furious, and he even questioned Shi Chaoquan's impure motives.Shi Chaoquan was also a simple-minded person, he was questioned by the mountain god, even if he blushed, he still politely did not answer his mouth.Wan Qing had never seen such a brother before, at that moment, she felt unbelievable, and for the first time felt that such a brother was so strange to her and frightening to her.

The elder brother who mended her clothes back then probably won't come back.

So they decided to elope.Wan Qing knew that her brother would not let them go.They fled for a long time, taking those paths that only she knew, but they still encountered many pursuers.Those chasing soldiers wouldn't hurt Wan Qing at all, but they hit Shi Chaoquan with every move, obviously wanting his life.

Wan Qing no longer dared to think, if Qi Xie hadn't been found, where they were now, and whether Shi Chaoquan would still be alive.But Wan Qing knew that if there was no Qi Xie, she would have been taken back by her brother by now, and maybe it would not be long before she would be married to someone she had never met before—maybe that was the only way in his conception. her best home.

But isn't Shiro bad?Wan Qing looked at the sleeping person beside her.Just because Shi Lang is a human being and a demon exorcist, and he is a demon and the younger sister of the mountain god, so they can't be together?

Wan Qing didn't believe it.

She wiped her tears, picked up the needle and thread in her hand again, lowered her head and carefully sewed the gap on the suit.She was not familiar with human clothes, but she tried her best to mend those holes completely and smoothly.She made it up very seriously, until Baochen knocked on the door and asked her to have lunch, she realized that it was already a morning.

He also ate lightly at noon. After the meal, Lu Xing came to see Shi Chaoquan's situation again, and said that there should be no special problems, and he should be able to wake up after a while.Wan Qing was naturally happy when she heard this, Lu Xing asked her if she wanted to play chess together in the afternoon, but Wan Qing politely refused, and only said that she wanted to read a book, which meant that she would stay with Shi Chaoquan in the room .

Lu Xing understood what she was thinking, so he found an ancient book from the study and gave it to her.Although it is an ancient book, it is written by human beings after all, and the monsters seem to be unable to understand the meaning between the lines.After watching for a while, Wan Qing felt a little tired. They had been fleeing for the past few days, and their spirits were not very good, so when she was thinking about whether to take a nap first, she saw Shi Chaoquan's brows frowned slightly, and then said There was an indistinct monotone.

Wan Qing was so excited by this.She sat a little closer to Shi Chaoquan, bent down and put her hands on Shi Chaoquan's shoulders, but she seemed afraid of her reckless actions, so she had to gently push him, calling "Shi Lang" in a low voice.However, she called a few times but there was no movement. Wan Qing was afraid that she would disturb him again. Although she was very disappointed, she still planned to sit back and wait.But unexpectedly, just as she was about to sit up, the person on the bed called "Wan Qing" hoarsely, and her eyes, which had been closed all the time, opened slightly.

The person who just woke up is still weak and a little confused.Shi Chaoquan could feel that he was in an unfamiliar environment, was well taken care of, and was not in danger.Other than that, all he could see was Wan Qing beside him - she wept with joy, but she was cautious, as if she was a precious and fragile object on the bed.She slowly bent down and lay on Shi Chaoquan's shoulders, her tears flowed like broken beads, and she didn't care whether it would stain the clothes or not. At this moment, Wan Qing just wanted to get closer to Shi Chaoquan, and even closer. That's all.

Seeing her crying in his arms, Shi Chaoquan knew that she was alright. He raised his stiff arm that was still wrapped in bandages, patted her on the back once in a while, and said softly, "Don't cry, I'm still waiting for you." in" to comfort her.Wan Qing cried so hard that she couldn't speak, she just nodded her head when she heard his persuasion, but she still lay on Shi Chaoquan's body and couldn't get up.Shi Chaoquan didn't urge her, and patted her lightly a few more times, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

When they eloped, Wan Qing still wore her hair in a bun.In Wan Qing's hairpin, there is a silver hairpin dotted with emerald green merman scales, it is said that it was left by Wan Qing's grandmother, Wan Qing loves it very much.And tonight, Qing changed her hairstyle, although it is not ugly, but the hairpin is gone, which made Shi Chaoquan feel uncomfortable when he just woke up, so he asked softly, "Where is the hairpin, is it lost?"

Hearing his question, Wan Qing finally raised her head, wiped away her messy tears, and touched the place where the hairpin had been inserted. A little bit of regret appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice: " I took it as a commission fee." After finishing speaking, seeing Shi Chaoquan's frown, he hastily added, "But it's worth it, we are safe now... at least for now."

Now?Safety?Shi Chaoquan began to analyze Wan Qing's words, and then began to look at the room again.This room is small in size, with a bed, a cabinet, a desk, and one or two chairs. It is decorated in Chinese style. It is a bit old, but it is clean and tidy.The room should be on the second floor. There is a pomegranate tree outside the window, and the soft branches are full of greenery.

"Here...is...?" Although Shi Chaoquan could sense that this place was safe, he didn't think that Wan Qing would be able to take him out of Cang's grasp when he was in a coma—that mountain god obviously wanted to put him down. He meant to die, and Wan Qing couldn't deal with those killers alone.So a place that is within Cang's control, but safe for them——

"It's Qi Xie, this is Qi Xie." Wan Qing had already calmed down, her eyes were red from crying, but there was a smile in her eyes. Seeing Shi Chaoquan's puzzled expression, she said, "I used a hairpin as a commission fee. The owner of the store stayed behind and we treated your wounds. As long as we are here, brother can't do anything to us."

Harmonious.Shi Chaoquan naturally knew about this store.Existence beyond the rules of the Three Realms and the Six Paths, as long as they are people that Qi Xie wants to protect, even the heavenly king Lao Tzu can't move a hair. Cang is just a local mountain god, so naturally he can't do anything to them.But in this strange store, although the owners of the previous generations were all human beings, they never accepted business from humans, and humans naturally couldn't set foot here.Exorcist Qi Xie's evaluation is mediocre, after all, it is a place where even if you want to intervene, you can't start.It's just that Shi Chaoquan never thought that one day, he would be protected by such a shop.

But Shi Chaoquan knew that they could not always
