Shopkeeper and God

Still going on, Lu Xing and Baochen temporarily sealed off the dead man's room.The occurrence of such a thing needs to be reported to the local mountain god, but the night is dark now, the fog has not dissipated, and then it began to rain sparsely.There is no light in the mountain, and everyone has their own concerns, so the report to the mountain god was delayed and decided to wait until tomorrow morning.

At the end of the interrogation, Xi Ying and Peibo did not find any abnormal people.In fact, in Lu Xing's eyes, the most abnormal person is Peibo.His heartlessness and indifference were exactly the same as those servants who were indifferent to the dead Patriarch, and he didn't look like he was on good terms with Lord Rong as he said.If everyone in this courtyard has been controlled by Rakshasa, how to explain the behavior of Peibo, an outsider?

Lu Xing couldn't understand the grievances and grievances involved, but the rain was getting heavier and the night was getting darker. The few people decided to go back to the guest room to rest before making plans.It's just that Xi Bai's condition is bad now, and it's very difficult to go back to the guest room in this labyrinth-like courtyard.Several people were worrying, but Tuan Ling appeared in time.

He had no intention of going to accompany Xi Bai, his face turned pale, and it seemed that fear had resurfaced deep in his heart.It was inconvenient to ask him some questions, so Lu Xing just asked him how many umbrellas he borrowed, and the few of them walked back to the guest room without saying a word.

Along the way, several people were silent.The courtyard is deep, as if only the sound of rain falling is real.Leaving the brightly lit crime scene, the entire courtyard was once again pitch black, as if all the lights had been borrowed from the crime scene, and even the light of the lantern in Tuan Ling's hand was dimmed.After they walked for a while, Tuan Lingbiao indicated that the guest room had arrived.It's just that he didn't intend to leave after he brought everyone into the small courtyard. When a few people packed their umbrellas on the porch, he was still standing in the rain, falling like wilted leaves.

"This... can I be with you?" He raised his head with earnest eyes.As far as Tuan Ling is concerned, with a group of monsters who do not know whether to live or die, at least these people in front of him are still alive. "What's more... the murderer who killed Master Rong...has not been caught yet..." He added as if he was afraid that everyone would disagree.His body began to tremble again, and his shoulders retracted, making his figure look much thinner.

Several people were silent for a while, but Xi Ying first smiled and said: "If you want to sleep together, you can sleep together, I have no objection." She spread her hands as she spoke, looking rather magnanimous.

"In this case, Mr. Tuan Ling will share a guest room with Mr. Xi Ying." Lu Xing followed suit.

Tuan Ling was overjoyed and then surprised, looking at Peibo next to him with some trepidation.For him, Peibo is actually a more familiar existence.However, Peibo's face was expressionless at the moment, and his indifference, which he did not know where to pick up, seemed to seep into his bones.Feeling Tuan Ling's gaze, Peibo raised his eyes slightly, his eyes were filled with fragments, and Tuan Ling's heart felt cold when he saw it, then he heard Peibo's voice faintly said: "I'm not interested, you can do whatever you want, I It's time to rest." With unconcealable sadness.

His reaction was more genuine than when he faced Rong's corpse just now, but a few people didn't understand why he only showed this emotion now.Peibo didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he closed the door and went back to the room.Xi Ying shrugged his shoulders, and called Tuan Ling in the rain to come over, and pushed him into a guest room with a smile full of ignorance of his true feelings. When the door was closing, he poked his head out to say good night to Lu Xing and Baochen good dream.

Lu Xing let out a laugh.There were still two guest rooms left, he naturally entered one, but just as he was about to close the door, Bao Chen followed him in.Lu Xing didn't expect him to come in, and was forced to take two steps back, so Baochen stood in the room and closed the door by the way.

Lu Xing: "..."

This reaction was obviously in the rhythm of sleeping with him. Lu Xing could somewhat guess what he was thinking, smiled helplessly, and said, "Don't do this, it's nothing serious." Will be aligned with the harmonious store owner.However, Baochen was obviously not at ease. He first turned on all the lights in the guest room, held up the brightest light, and looked around the small room. place to let go.Lu Xing looked at him dumbfounded. Although Baochen cared more and more about him during the past few months, but now he wondered if this kind of concern was a little too much, plus he asked such inexplicable words before... …

Thinking of that question, Lu Xing felt his heart beating like thunder and his face was hot for no reason.Of course, Lu Xing would not admit that kind of emotion, so he shook his head vigorously to try to forget that thought, but when he opened his eyes again, he saw a neatly folded white paper on the table.

Did you just have this piece of paper?

Lu Xing became puzzled, he stepped forward to pick up the paper, and opened it.Baochen also finished checking at this time, turned around and saw what Lu Xing was looking at, and came to him with a lamp.The lights instantly made the black and white words clearer.

[Please rest well tonight and don't go out casually. ]

It seemed like words of concern, but there seemed to be a chill coming out of the beautiful handwriting, which made Lu Xing stunned for a long time before muttering "what do you mean?" in disbelief.Baochen didn't answer, but instead pulled the paper out of Lu Xing's hand, and flicked it against the firelight at a very fast speed.Lu Xing didn't expect Baochen to do this, he yelled and rushed over to grab it, Baochen reacted quickly and lifted the burning paper high.Lu Xing was shorter than him, and almost threw himself on Baochen's body. He couldn't reach the piece of paper with his outstretched arms, and could only watch it burnt into pieces of scorched black between Baochen's fingers.

The scorched black seemed to fall into Lu Xing's eyes, instantly igniting the dry wood in his heart.Lu Xing grabbed Baochen's front and forced him to look down at him. His eyes were dimly lit, and he lowered his voice and said seriously, "What do you mean?"

Baochen's face was calm, and Lu Xing's frosty face was in his eyes.He knew that Lu Xing was angry, or in other words, he knew that Lu Xing would be angry if he did that.But he didn't care, he didn't seem to be worried that he would be criticized, so he said two words: "Sleep".

"Are you kidding me?" The corners of Lu Xing's mouth curled up.How can you sleep at such a time?

"I didn't, it's what it said." Baochen's voice was calm.

"Who! Said it!" Lu Xing's knuckles were clenched white.

"That piece of paper" Baochen said, "it said, as long as you are here, you are safe." At least those secret Rakshasa dare not act rashly against Qi Xie's shopkeeper.

Lu Xing's lips were trembling, he was speechless, he shook Baochen violently for a while, and he seemed to be angry and took two steps towards the door, but finally stood still at the door, his hands clenched into fists. After all, he didn't open the door.

What if the door is opened?He could almost be sure that Tuan Ling was telling the truth, but so what?

So many strange things have not been clarified, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.And the most important thing is that this time, Qi Xie was not entrusted, and Qi Xie had no reason to act, it was "nothing".

For the first time, Lu Xing resented his identity, a proud enough identity.

"Damn it!" He clenched his fist and slammed it on the wall next to him, and he lost his strength.Baochen walked over, seemed to want to hug his shoulders, raised his hand, but finally gently knocked his fist off the wall, and said "Go to sleep".Go to sleep, and when you wake up, nothing will happen.What four-flavored wood, what a thousand-year-old flower that brings back life, what Rakshasa, what "Shoumu"——

There is always only one thing I want to protect.

There was nothing Lu Xing could do, he could only let Baochen lead him.His expression was lost, like a child who needs to be coaxed.Baochen is not very good at coaxing people, he only knows how to stay by his side, lead him to sit on the bed, help him take off his shoes, untie the outer long gown, cover him with a quilt, busy without saying a word, like an old lady.

Lu Xing also didn't say a word, he didn't even want to worry about what Baochen did.He didn't want to sleep, but Baochen forced him to sleep, he wanted to be irritable, but he couldn't.In the end, he could only watch Baochen sitting on the edge of the bed, like a parent guarding the child, and said something like sleeping in a very soft voice.

"Sleep, I will accompany you".

Then Baochen raised his hand to turn off the lights, and the world was dark again, only Baochen's eyes were bright, and the eyes were shining like a spring, Lu Xing was about to fall into it.Lu Xing didn't dare to look any further, so he simply closed his eyes.He could hear Baochen's breathing intertwined with his own, the sound of the rain outside was hazy, but gradually drifting away, he didn't know when it was.

Then, Lu Xing was awakened by a knock on the door.

The tuk-tuk sound was very soft, but it seemed to be magnified hundreds of times by the silent night, and it roared into Lu Xing's eardrums.He always hated being woken up, he almost turned over from the bed, and shouted "Don't make noise" in a bad temper, only to realize that something was wrong after shouting.It wasn't until he opened his eyes that he realized, since when was he the only one left in this dimly lit guest room?

When did you fall asleep?What about Baochen?

He stayed on the bed for a while and didn't seem to understand what happened. He didn't wake up until Tuan Ling called out timidly from outside the door. He grabbed the long gown and said "Come" to open the door while putting it on his body.

The rain outside hadn't stopped, the fog hadn't cleared up, and it was pitch black and I didn't know what time it was.Lu Xing opened the door, the tiny raindrops and
