It was a bizarre dream.

In the dream, she wrapped her arms around Yin Dao's neck, her fingers passed through her long black and thick hair like seaweed, entwined round and round between her fingers, kissed her from her Adam's apple as white as jade, and breathed gently against her soft skin , The feeling of numbness and crispness spreads and ripples along the apex of the heart.

Vaguely, a voice said in her ear:

...do you know what you're doing?

……

Of course she knew what she was doing.

Saori held that face, along the cold lips, kissed the mouth that was spitting out threats tenderly.

Thump - the heart contracts and the blood flows.

There was a sudden pain in the side of her waist, and the smell of blood seeped out from the open wound. She vaguely smelled the cold killing intent, entangled like sticky spider silk, and the cold and turbid killing intent touched the warm skin. A moment that somehow turned into lava from hell.

From that moment on, time and memory blurred into ambiguous colors and fragments.She vaguely remembered that the temperature in the dream was extremely high, so hot that it seemed that it could burn the bones and even the thinking of a person, leaving only the honest instinct to affect the body to respond.

She held the warm jade, but when the jade melted, it also became hot, and the sticky spider silk was endless, entangled her from all directions, and in order not to be eaten, she tried her best to fight with each other Fighting.

In the grotesque dream, she finally seemed to be tired. The scorching hot temperature cooled down, and the lava turned into a soothing river, the water flow was bumpy and swaying. Quiet and sticky darkness.

……

Faint sunlight penetrated into the field of vision, and consciousness came back. Saori slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in a familiar room.

The fire in the fireplace had been extinguished, and the ashes of last night were piled up, and there was an unspeakable smell in the air, mixed with a very faint smell of blood.

When she raised her hand to block the light, the memory of yesterday broke through the dam and suddenly swept over.

The movements were slightly stiff, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong. A carp stretched out and lifted the quilt to sit up, shivering directly from the freezing air.

... Good guy.

Saori lowered her head, and found herself lying on the soft bearskin, her body under the quilt was not covered, and the bandage on her waist was stained with dark red blood, apparently torn because she couldn't bear too much intense activity.

Just at this moment, the sound of unhurried footsteps came from outside the door.Saori put the men's coat closest to her on her body, with the sleeves covered halfway, Yin Dao had already opened the wooden door and walked in.

The four eyes met briefly, Saori pointed to herself, and an uncertain question mark seemed to appear on her head.

As someone who was suspected of going out to relax, Yin Dao behaved very plainly.He went straight to the fireplace, lit a fire briefly, and then replied indifferently:

"What do you think?"

Saori: "..."

She actually put the other party to sleep when she was injured.

……

She is really awesome.

There was the sound of wings vibrating, and Saori turned her head, and the one she had caught most fiercely was better than holding her clothes, flew over unsteadily, and put the clothes in her arms with some respect.

Saori didn't care about why she could see the emotion of awe from a worm demon. She put on her clothes, and the belt was almost tied, when the person sitting by the fire reminded in a cold voice:

"You need to redress the wound."

So Saori took off her clothes again and again.

What should have happened and what shouldn't have happened last night, and the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to be ashamed of at all.

Lifting up her hair, Saori sat with her back facing the knife, skillfully changed the wound medicine for herself, wrapped it with a clean cloth again, and checked the condition of the wound by the way.

The miasma-spitting human-faced monster bit off a piece of meat from her waist, and when the sharp teeth closed, a bloody flesh hole was torn out. Fortunately, no important organs were directly injured, and now her high fever has subsided. Yes, the only unlucky thing is that even if the place heals in the future, it will leave a scar.

In the past, she didn't care about it at all. Even now, when this thought crossed her mind, it only made her pause briefly.

Speaking of scars though...

"what is this?"

"Huh?" Saori raised her head, turned slightly sideways, and found that Yin Dao's gaze fell on her back near the left shoulder blade.

She touched the sunken skin with her fingers: "This one is left when I first met a monster."

Large and small scars extend from the shoulders and neck to the tailbone. It was not easy to survive the 18 years of the Warring States Period. She was frightened enough at the beginning, and her whole worldview was shaken. After getting used to it, she found out—the iron fist of materialism It is the unchanging truth.

"...Do you hate monsters?" Yin Dao snorted lightly.

Saori put on her clothes and closed her collar: "It's a little strange for you to ask this question."

She left the warm fireplace, staggered out of bed, and came to the door where the bamboo hat and coir raincoat were hung.

"It's like asking 'Do you hate animals?' or 'Do you hate plants?'.Normal people will say that some people like it and some people hate it. "

There were no traces of monsters fighting outside the house, and that annoying smell that seemed to be called monsters was so faint that there was almost no trace in the air. Everything seemed to be a dream she had last night.

Saori held the door and came to the side of the warehouse. She said it was a warehouse building, but it was actually just a wooden house with a roof behind the main house, which stored food and firewood for the winter, as well as straw for horses.

It was lucky that the horse wasn't eaten by the monster, because she paid a lot of money to buy it.

"What are you doing?" Yin Dao appeared behind her at some point, her expression seemed to say that she was really a strange human being, who didn't just stay on the bed to recuperate after being injured, but ran to see some warehouse at the first time.

"Count up supplies." Saori replied naturally, "I won't be able to go hunting for a while, of course I have to see how much food I have stored."

Leaning against the warehouse door, she turned around and smiled at him: "I still want to support you."

There is one advantage of getting injured in winter. The cold temperature is not easy to breed bacteria, and the wound is not easy to be infected and inflamed. Naturally, the recovery is much faster than in summer.

During this period, the fiercest victory she picked up came in handy.It would bring back food and wild fruits from nowhere every day, buzzing and vibrating its wings and flying in through the gap in the door.

"Can you bring some flowers back tomorrow?"

Zhi Mengsheng, who was hovering in the air and fluttering his wings, glanced at the figure sitting on his knees by the fireside, and flew out through the gap in the door.

The next day, Saori found that there was an extra plum blossom in the clay vase by the window, which only blooms in this season.

The plum blossoms in the vase are almost withered, and her wounds are almost healed.Maybe creatures like monsters also hibernate in winter. Her life has been very quiet recently, and she suddenly returned to the situation before she picked up the jade fragments of the four souls.

The snow-capped valley stretched as far as the eye could see, and the daylight dimmed noticeably as we entered the pine-needle fields.

Saori led the horse, and didn't tell Yin Dao where the two were going, until the smell of sulfur wafted in the air, and then stopped at the hot spring hidden by rocks.

Taking a hot bath in winter is a luxury that can only be enjoyed by the ruling class, but the hot springs in the mountains are different. She will find this place by accident, and she has kept this hot spring as a secret since then.

If she hadn't been injured, she actually wanted to bring him here earlier.

...Speaking of which, do youkai like bathing in hot springs?

Saori guarded her clothes and stayed behind the rock, and the horse whose reins were tied to a branch flicked its tail. Suddenly, it seemed that it heard something, and it raised its head and pricked up its ears.

There was a chirping sound, the pine needles trembled, and the snow hanging on the branches fell down. Shazhi, who was trying to divert her attention, raised her eyes belatedly, and met the wild monkeys in the mountains.

Those fluffy creatures squatted on the branches, looking at it from that angle... from that angle-no!You can have a panoramic view of the scenery in the hot spring!

Yarn suddenly jumped up.

When the shadow fell into the water with a loud noise, the people leaning on the shore didn't even move their eyebrows.

"..."

The nasty monkey twittered and laughed and wandered away. Saori emerged from the water and met Yindao's eyes.

"...I didn't mean to peek." She said seriously, "Although I thought about peeking, but now it's really an accident." It was all because of fighting with the monkey that she accidentally fell into the hot spring of.

Yin Dao was leaning against the rock behind him, his wet black hair hanging lazily on his shoulders, he narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly defenseless, but his deep voice contained a cool edge.

"You like this face so much."

Saori added earnestly: "There is still a body."

The hot spring pool is full of hot air, and the only place in the snow-capped mountains is warm like spring. The light green pool water is as beautiful as emerald stones without impurities.

"How much do you like?" Yin Dao's voice was cold and smooth, "Is it worth risking your life like last time?"

Saori: "I like it so much that I can marry you."

"..."

The water was rippling and the white mist curled up. Saori looked at him with a serious face: "Don't you really think about it?"

Yin Dao never said yes or no.

Saori acquiesced that the other party did not refuse, which is good news.

The ice and snow loosened, and the monsters who coveted the jade of the four souls became active again, and her life returned to the track. She went out every day to slash monsters, hunted, and went to exchange for some supplies when the weekly market opened. The fragments of jade have been spelled out into a small crescent moon.

On a seemingly ordinary day, when Saori and Yindao were walking through the market, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in front of them. The samurai with the sword, wearing the uniform of the family crest, appeared majestically in front of the astonished villagers.

"Young master!" The leading old man thumped, almost fell off his horse and crawled to Yindao's feet, and let out a voice of tears of joy from his trembling throat, "We finally found you!"

At this moment, Saori finally remembered that the monster in human skin beside him seemed to have an unresolved identity.

The author has something to say:

It's time to switch maps
