late snow

Just when Ji Huai panicked and didn't know what to do, a cold voice came from behind him.

"what happened?"

Ji Huai turned around abruptly, and saw the monk holding a pile of fruits in his hands and looking at him inexplicably.

Ji Huai didn't know what it was like at first, but now he felt relieved when he saw him, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, where did you go just now?"

"I went to pick some fruits and came back." Zhan Hua said, and handed him one of the fruits in his hand, "It has been washed."

"Thank you." Ji Huai reached out to take it, put it in his mouth and took a bite, the sour and slightly bitter taste almost made him spit it out, but from the corner of his eye, he saw that Zhan Hua had eaten the whole thing without changing his face, and he wrinkled Lian Lian swallowed the fruit in his hand in one gulp.

Then Zhan Hua handed him another one.

Ji Huaina hesitated for a while in his hand, and took a tentative bite under Zhan Hua's eyes. It was sweet and clear, his eyes lit up immediately, he reached out and handed the fruit to Zhan Hua's mouth, and said happily: "This is so sweet! You Try it!"

Zhan Hua, who deliberately gave him the bitter fruit just now: "..."

Zhan Hua didn't want to eat the fruit he gnawed, but seeing Ji Huai looking at him expectantly with clear eyes, he opened his mouth involuntarily and took a bite.

It's really sweet.

"Isn't it sweet?" Ji Huai smiled at him.

"En." Zhan Hua turned his head, his eyes were slightly annoyed, but he didn't know what he was annoyed about.

Ji Huai gnawed the fruit in two or three mouthfuls, squatted down in front of him and picked the fruit in his hand with great interest, "Let's find two more sweet ones, I guess this one must be very sweet!"

Zhan Hua really didn't understand where the young master was so happy, but he tasted some sweetness and thought that the rest of the fruits were all sweet?

Really childish.

After filling his stomach, Ji Huai didn't feel as uncomfortable as before, so he started to live again, pestering Zhan Hua and asking: "Then what are the Fengyu Pavilion and Feixian Tower for? Could it be that there is such a thing as Jianghu Wulin?" explain?"

Zhan Hua didn't want to answer his stupid questions at first, but it was really boring for the two of them to sit here, so he had a brief talk with him.

After Ji Huai listened, he probably understood what Zhan Hua wanted to express.

Fengyu Pavilion—a group of lunatics who like to secretly poison.

Feixianlou - a group of brainless flamboyants.

"This..." Ji Huai was stunned for a moment, "But Huan Ziang said that Changhong Valley and Fengyu Pavilion Feixianlou are the top three sects in the Wulin League."

Zhan Hua took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then walked thoughtfully and said, "Wulin League is just a bunch of idiots, no different from jugglers on the street."

Ji Huai felt that there seemed to be something different about Zhanhua in front of him, but he couldn't tell the specifics. Looking carefully, Zhanhua still had the calm and peaceful appearance, so he thought, maybe this is the realm of a monk.

"Let's go." Zhan Hua stood up and said to him, "Those people will catch up soon."

Ji Huai instantly became nervous and followed Zhan Hua step by step.

"Zhan Hua, where are we going?" Ji Huai found that he seemed to be on his way with a purpose, and said a little happily, "Have you found the way?"

"Yeah." Zhan Hua glanced at him from the corner of his eye, with no expression on his face.

In a cave somewhere more than ten miles away from the two of them.

The pretty woman in red lazily leaned against the entrance of the cave, blew on her nails, and asked the grim-faced man next to her, "Why hasn't the master come yet?"

"I don't know." The man said coldly.

"Tsk tsk tsk." The woman didn't care about his indifference, she just said to herself: "Master has been out for half a year, and people miss him a little bit."

The man was indifferent.

"Mingye, you are really boring." The woman curled her lips, "If it wasn't for the master's order, I wouldn't have come with you."

Ming Ye glanced at her, "You need to hang people's lives when taking blood, and no one can do it except me."

"Yes, yes, you are the only one who can do this, and no one else can." She did not know when a knife as thin as a cicada's wing was added to her hand, and said with a charming smile: "It's also very fast when people cut meat and bones. , promise to turn him into a skeleton before he dies."

Ji Huai who was following Zhan Hua suddenly shivered.

Zhan Hua turned to look at him.

Ji Huai rubbed his arms, "How about we rest for a while?"

Zhan Hua nodded.

For some reason, Ji Huai breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in a shaded place, and waved to Zhanhua.

Zhan Hua walked over to sit with him, and heard Ji Huai say: "I've thought about it all the way, Zhan Hua, you'd better not stay with me anymore, let's separate when we get out of this mountain forest."

"Why?" Zhan Hua asked.

"You see so many people are chasing and killing me, you will only be troubled by me when you are with me..." Ji Huai sighed, "There is no need to risk your life for me."

Zhan Hua said: "If you are the only one left, you will be caught by them soon."

"Catch it and grab it." Ji Huai smiled, but the smile didn't last long on his face, "During the holidays, remember to burn more paper money for me."

Those dandies who come to the city late are just friends with wine and meat, and he can't count on those from Ji's family. In the end, he actually wants to ask Zhan Hua. Thinking about it this way, his life is really not very good.

Zhan Hua glanced at him lightly, "Okay."

Ji Huai really laughed now, and he couldn't help but sigh: "You are so kind and compassionate, don't teach others to lie to you in the future."

Zhan Hua looked at him like a fool, but in Ji Huai's eyes, he understood it as sadness, so he reached out and patted his back, "It's okay! Isn't it just death!"

Zhan Hua looked at him more kindly.

The two walked for another half an hour, but they went deeper and deeper into the forest. Ji Huai asked a little uncertainly, "Zhan Hua, did we go the wrong way? Why are we getting more and more remote?"

Zhan Hua didn't stop walking, and his voice was cold, "I didn't go wrong, keep up."

Ji Huai didn't doubt that he was there, so he hurried to follow. Not long after, Zhan Hua finally stopped.

Looking at the dark cave in front of him, Ji Huai felt a gust of wind blowing in, and flinched for no reason, "Are we going to spend the night here?"

"Yeah." Zhan Hua responded and stepped into the cave.

"Hey, wait for me!" Ji Huai followed him into the cave, just as he stepped in, a gust of cool wind hit the back of his neck, he only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then completely lost consciousness.

The woman mentioned Ji Huai and followed behind Zhan Hua.

Mingye was already waiting in the cave, and when he saw Zhan Hua, he half-kneeled and saluted him respectfully, without saying a word of nonsense, he opened the mechanism in the cave, and after a burst of bangs, a two-person wide-eyed man appeared on the cave wall. entrance to the dark passage.

Several people entered the secret passage, and there was another rumbling sound, and the cave instantly returned to its original state, as if no one had ever visited.

"Nanyu."

"The subordinate is here!" The woman threw Ji Huai aside and knelt in front of Zhan Hua.

Zhan Hua didn't speak, and the woman named Nan Yu knelt on the ground tremblingly, her back covered with cold sweat.

After a long time, Zhan Hua said, "Are you all ready?"

"It's ready." Nan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "All the necessary medicinal materials are ready."

"Yeah." Zhan Hua's gaze fell on Ji Huai who had fainted, and quickly retracted it, "Let's do it."

"Yes." Nan Yu stood up and walked to Ji Huai, the blade in his hand spinning quickly.

Ming Ye picked up Ji Huai and threw it on the stone platform, and said to Nan Yu, "Wait until half of the blood is drained before you do it."

Nanyu nodded.

Ming Ye picked up Ji Huai's wrist, and when the tip of the knife was about to touch Ji Huai's wrist, Zhan Hua coughed suddenly.

Ming Ye trembled, almost cut off Ji Huai's hand, and looked up at Zhan Hua in surprise.

Zhan Hua frowned slightly, and said, "Before he was poisoned by Fengyu Pavilion, will it affect the efficacy of the medicine?"

"No master." Ming Ye said: "The poison in your body is extremely overbearing, and the poison Fengyu Pavilion gave him will not kill him at all, it will not affect him."

Zhan Hua stared at Ji Huai's face for a long while without speaking.

Ming Ye and Nan Yu looked at each other, they didn't know what Zhan Hua meant for a while, so they didn't dare to move.

Zhan Hua withdrew his gaze, and said in a cold voice, "Do it."

Ming Ye cut Ji Huai's wrist with a knife this time, and the dark red blood flowed down Ji Huai's palm into a porcelain jar placed below.

Zhan Hua sat cross-legged and meditated, Ming Ye was doing bloodletting seriously, Nan Yu was preparing medicinal materials, after about half an hour, there seemed to be a slight noise in the air.

Zhan Hua opened his eyes suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Get out of here!"

Ming Ye and Nan Yu subconsciously obeyed the order and flashed to the side. Dozens of long needles glowing with black light were nailed to the stone bed where Ji Huai was lying, and spider web-like patterns spread across it.

"Oh, it really taught me how to find it." The visitor stood in front of them and clapped his hands. His eyes fell on Ji Huai's bleeding wrist and he was stunned for a moment. "Tsk, who are you? How can you be so reckless?"

"Half-faced Rakshaquan Ning?" Nanyu sneered: "Why, you can't get along in the southern border and ran back to the Central Plains?"

Quan Ning frowned nonchalantly when he heard the words: "There are too many bugs in the southern border and it's still hot, but it's better to stay in the Central Plains—"

Before he finished speaking, he had already exchanged hands with Ming Ye and Nan Yu.

In the chaos, Ji Huaiyou woke up, first a long needle flew past his nose, and then a sharp knife stuck to his face and cut off a strand of his hair.

Ji Huai blinked his eyes in bewilderment, and then there was a pain in his wrist. He looked down and saw the blood on that hand and almost passed out.

In the next second, someone wrapped a cloth strip tightly around his wrist and pulled him off the stone bed.

Ji Huai staggered two steps before realizing that the person who pulled him was Zhan Hua, and he immediately felt relieved, "Zhan Hua, let's get out of here quickly!"

Zhan Hua nodded at him with a serious face, dragged him up and ran towards the exit of the secret passage.

"Leave him!" Quan Ning shouted, and a long needle came straight at Ji Huai.

Before Ji Huai had time to react, he was hugged and protected in his arms, only heard a muffled sound, looked up and saw Zhan Hua's pale face.

"Zhan Hua!" Ji Huai grabbed his arm and looked at him in panic, "You—"

"Let's go!" Zhan Hua just paused for a moment, then pulled him up, and led Ji Huai to the exit.

The author has something to say:

Ji Huai (serious and worried): You are so kind, you will be deceived and used by bad people.

Zhan Hua (looking at the fool's kind eyes): Yes.

Zhan Hua——Today is another day of not being a human being, which is great.
