Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

Of course, the tavern didn't just have one room on the second floor. The woman led Zhan Zhao and Alan into a bedroom that was cramped but not bad.The thick wood can block the cold night wind, and after placing the swaying candlestick on the table, the whole room has a warm atmosphere.

The fat woman walked around the room, as if the lord was inspecting her own territory, she smiled at Zhan Zhao unequivocally, "If you need anything, I'm right next door."

Zhan Zhao nodded silently, while Alan looked at the other party with a frown, feeling the urge to pull Zhan Zhao away.But that is not suitable, because it is probably difficult to find a second residence that can accommodate foreigners in this small place.

"Then I'm leaving." The woman leaned on the door frame and winked at Zhan Zhao, then left with her fat buttocks twisting.A Lan immediately stepped forward and closed the door heavily, smelling the pungent fragrance of the woman in her nose, she almost sneezed.

Zhan Zhao had already walked around the room briefly, knocked on the wall, stepped on the floor, and checked under the bed.After confirming that this is indeed not a black shop and there is no secret passage, he said to A Lan: "Come and sleep. This is probably the last time you will be able to sleep in bed in the last month."

"Oh." A Lan came back to his senses, and then realized in a daze: "There is only one bed?"

Zhan Zhao replied briefly: "Go to sleep by yourself, I'll just sit at the table overnight." He really sat down, the chair was hard and cold, narrow and uncomfortable, but Zhan Zhao didn't care .He watched Ah Lan obediently walking towards the bed, covered his mouth and yawned a little, he watched all this almost tenderly.On a cold winter night, besides a lonely lamp, there are people by his side. This is a beautiful thing that Zhan Zhao never dared to hope for in the past.But right now, it's actually present in front of your eyes, and it seems to be able to get better.

However, on the same quiet night, Zhan Zhao suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition—an unknown journey, and perhaps an unknown degree of danger.He had a strong intuition: whatever killed Dust Cause, it would be waiting on the road ahead for him to follow.

Maybe he should tell Alan to go back.

Zhan Zhao suddenly had this idea, but realized that he hadn't really considered this choice.Similarly, he also rationally thought that he should not go any further.In fact, as long as you return to Kaifeng, everything will be safe and sound.He's sure to find a way to undo the curse on himself, and make an already good thing even better.

One wife, one home.From now on, even after the late night journey, there will be someone waiting for him drowsily by the lamp.

However, Zhan Zhao clearly knew that he would not turn back, as if he hadn't seriously considered asking Ah Lan to go back.He vaguely recalled that his elder brother always liked to say that he was destined: from birth, from the time he was babbling in childhood, the path he was going to take in the future had gradually taken shape.The blood shed on his body and his stubborn character determined that he would go all the way to darkness on this road that might kill him, and this was his fate.

It's just that at some point, the fate of the girl who met unexpectedly on a rainy night was closely intertwined with his own.Zhan Zhao knows that if he asks Alan to go back, there will be two results - Alan does not obey his orders, and Alan pretends to obey his orders.And no matter which of the two comes true, it will break Alan's heart.

This is what happens when you fall in love with someone: from being fearless to being hesitant and indecisive—or not really indecisive, but bitter about the decision you made.

Just as this sweet and bitter thought turned in Zhan Zhao's mind, A Lan, who was already lying on the bed and closed his eyes, called out in a low voice, "Brother."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao raised his head, the tenderness in his eyes has not faded.

Alan moved slightly, and the quilt made a rustling sound, her voice was low and depressed: "Why did that woman call me 'Little Hen'?"

Zhan Zhao almost laughed out loud.However, he guessed that his expression betrayed his thoughts to some extent, because Alan puffed up his cheeks in annoyance, and asked him, "Do you think it's funny too?"

"No, it's not funny." Zhan Zhao quickly denied it, then clenched his teeth to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out of his mouth, and told Alan as seriously as possible: "That's not a good thing, don't ask. Alright, go to sleep. "

Alan closed her eyes obediently.

It's just that she wasn't as calm as she appeared.

Of course Alan knew what that woman meant. In fact, she had heard worse words when she was a child, and she even said such frivolous and presumptuous words for a while.

In fact, the moment she spoke just now, what she really wanted to say was: No matter what you are worried about, I can help you share it.

But that sounds silly, not childish, but silly.A Lan almost bit her tongue when the words came to her mouth, and asked something about that annoying fat woman in a mysterious way—oh, Zhan Zhao might not be happy for her to call her that, it's a bad word.Alan scolded herself in her heart, and then turned her mind back to Zhan Zhao.

He has indeed seemed preoccupied lately.It's hard for A-lan not to notice that Zhan Zhao would sometimes be in a daze, with a worry on his face that couldn't be erased even though he tried his best to conceal it.Out of intuition, Ah Lan thought that most of the worries had something to do with herself, and she hoped that Zhan Zhao could trust her once, and not say anything to drive her away.Of course, she would not leave no matter what, the worst would be to pretend to leave, and then secretly follow.

Is the road ahead really so difficult?Alan frowned slightly, then remembered that Zhan Zhao might see her expression, and quickly stretched her brows.She recalled the things she had experienced since meeting Zhan Zhao—everything that was not thrilling, they were almost smashed into pieces by the wind and waves at sea, and they were almost torn to pieces by half-human, half-wolf monsters.At that time, Zhan Zhao was at most a little helpless, probably because he thought that there was an apprentice who was holding back by his side, so he was somewhat impatient.

But this time is different.Alan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she tried her best not to frown.She recalled Zhan Zhao's frequent trance and absence recently, and felt that a catastrophe was imminent.But as long as Zhan Zhao doesn't back down, Ah Lan knows that he has to bite the bullet and follow up.She has to prove herself, to prove that she is good enough and firm enough, so that Zhan Zhao can see herself.

Then what?A Lan was thinking in a daze, her thoughts were a little loose, which was a sign of falling asleep.She's so tired, so tired...

Then she can stay by Zhan Zhao's side forever... Ah Lan has fallen into a half-dream and half-awake state, and a certain picture from a long time ago flashed in her chaotic mind: it was Zhan Zhao fetching water to wipe himself by a certain lake before winter, Bare and strong upper body.A Lan accidentally saw it, but she just stared blankly, a little surprised to find that Zhan Zhao's body was not at all the same as her own... so strong, with bulging muscles in his arms.And Ah Lan's arms are as thin as wood-bone sticks.The water flowed down his Adam's apple, flowed all the way across his flat and firm chest, and slid into his trouser waist...

"Kara" sounded softly, and A-lan suddenly opened his eyes.In the restored silence she remained motionless, aware dully in the darkness that the candles on the table had been extinguished and that there was no one around the table.

What about Zhan Zhao?

A Lan's throat tightened for a while, her whole body was tense like a bowstring that was about to be broken, she casually pulled out the eyebrow stick from her side and slid off the bed.Her movements were as light as a ghost, and she slowly touched the door.However, when her hand touched the cold and rough wood, she suddenly remembered what the woman said to Zhan Zhao before she left.

"If there's anything I need, I'm right next door."

Alan bit her lip.

Zhan Zhao waited until Ah Lan's breathing became long before blowing out the candles and standing up.He stood there for a while, making sure that Ah Lan was really asleep, so he walked lightly towards the door.All the soft and sincere expressions on his face were put away, as if he had put on a mask.

He pushed the door open and went out, then closed the door carefully.The old door hinge made a light "creak" sound, Zhan Zhao's movements froze for a moment, and he stopped for a while with his ears pricked up, as if nothing happened, A Lan's clear and shallow breathing was blurred in the howling wind .

Zhan Zhao finally walked lightly to the next door.

Before he could knock on the door, the door was suddenly pulled open.A lump of fat suddenly rushed towards him, mixed with a pungent aroma: "Damn, I knew you would come." Then a fat and slippery hand grabbed his shoulder.Zhan Zhao almost couldn't hold back his instinct and knocked the other party down to the ground. He had never asked a stranger to get close to him since he was an adult.

The woman took an inch and pulled Zhan Zhao into the room forcefully, the door was slammed shut - Zhan Zhao stretched out his foot to block the door when it was about to make an earth-shattering closing sound.

"What?" the woman panted heavily, "I'm afraid your little baby will hear it?" Before he could finish speaking, Zhan Zhao had already pinched her veins, twisted her arms, pushed her away and put her on the table. .The woman wanted to scream, but was horrified to find that her body was no longer in control.

Witchcraft, the man controlled her with witchcraft.The woman thought in panic.

"If you cooperate with me honestly and don't yell, I'll let you go, okay?" Zhan Zhao's voice didn't sound particularly angry, at most it was a little cold.

The woman agreed with a whimper.

Zhan Zhao let go of her.

The other party immediately scrambled and rushed towards the door, but Zhan Zhao stopped her.The woman's face could not be seen clearly in the dark, and the layers of fat were extremely rough, completely different from her hands.

"I'm just asking you something." Zhan Zhao said politely, "If you don't want to make some money, I can leave." He was eager to leave.The aroma here is pungent and suffocating.Would anyone really marry a woman who smelled like this?Ah Lan doesn't have these messy smells on her body... Stop it.

The woman looked at Zhan Zhao in amazement for a while, then coughed, and asked, "What do you want to know?" Her voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Six Dust Pagoda." Zhan Zhao threw out three short words.

Then he saw the woman froze.If she had been panicked before, she was panicked now.Those cloudy eyes looked like dead fish, bulging out of the fat.The wind slapped the window lattice hard, making a "crackling" sound, and another kind of clucking sound.It took Zhan Zhao a while to realize that it was the sound of a woman's teeth chattering.

The author has something to say: I came back from an alien with an alien cold, and I lost my appointment for two days. I am very sorry_(:з」∠)_

PS When I was typing today, I always felt that my nose was blocked with my brain. If there is any strange thing written in this chapter, I will bring it up and I will change it after the damn cold gets better.

By the way, if there are no accidents, it should be a daily update... OTZ
