Lin Xuece paid the fee to enter the banquet, and when he saw Qiuling, he recognized him at a glance.

He thought that he had more information and that he had taken the initiative in the conversation with Qiuling, but he never expected that in the end, Qiuling would turn against the general.

He can be sure that he did not reveal his name during the communication.

Since Qiu Ling knew his name, he recognized him early in the morning.

Is it intentional to bring the food to him?

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lin Xuece's mind. He just wanted to get up and go after Qiuling, but the next moment, his cell phone rang.

It was none other than Meng Yi who called.

When Lin Xuece saw the phone, he remembered that Ma Jie, Meng Yi and the others were still waiting for him outside.

Seeing that Qiu Ling's figure had disappeared into the crowd, Lin Xuece had no choice but to sit back, connected the phone, and told what he had just seen.

When Ma Jie, Meng Yi and others heard this, they immediately lost interest, and decided not to waste money to come in.

Lin Xuece said that he didn't gain anything from this trip, but in fact he did.

Qiuling had disappeared, and the remaining village chief was telling tourists the myths and stories of Qiuye Village. Lin Xuece was not interested in these, so he got up and followed Ma Jiemengyi and others back to the homestay.

The banquet after the sacrifice was already the most lively event in the village. In the evening, Ma Jie and others had no place to go, so they met to play poker at the hotel.

Lin Xuece declined everyone's invitation and returned to the room alone.

Qiuling said he would come back to look for him at night, but without saying what time, Lin Xuece waited patiently.

They live in a homestay in the center of the village, and Lin Xuece is an adult man.

So Qiuling proposed to meet at night. Although Lin Xuece felt a little strange, he was not worried about his own safety.

The waiting time has always been long. Fortunately, Lin Xuece saved a lot of practice questions in his mobile phone. It was less than half a year before the college entrance examination, so he immediately seized the time to brush up the questions and wait for others.

I don't know how long it has passed, but suddenly, there was a light knock on the door.

"Who?" Lin Xuece recovered from the sea of ​​questions, raised his head and asked.

"It's me, Qiuling." Qiuling's voice sounded outside the door.

Lin Xuece got up, looked through the cat's eyes, and made sure that Qiuling was the only one who came over empty-handed, so he opened the door.

Although it is already spring, Akiba Village is not too cold compared to other places.

But after all, it was night, and there was still a bit of coolness.

As Lin Xuece opened the door, the air formed a convection current, and the cold wind blew across Qiuling's body, causing him to shiver.

His pale little face was slightly reddened by the cold wind, looking pitiful.

"Sorry, I'm late." Qiu Ling whispered.

Seeing him like this, Lin Xuece felt a little wary of him, but his heart softened a little.

This year, Qiuling and Lin Xuece are 19 years old, and there is only one year difference between the two. Logically speaking, they should look about the same.

Among her peers, Lin Xuece is tall, thin and fair, and looks younger.

Qiu Ling looked a little younger than him, especially those deer-like eyes, black and white, like a child.

On such a cold night, Lin Xuece and Qiu Ling met late at night, but any bystanders would probably feel that Qiu Ling looked weaker and more likely to encounter danger.

Qiuling's breath was similar to Li Sheng's, and in Lin Xuece's eyes, he was no different from his own monster cub.

Seeing him shivering from the cold at this time, Lin Xuece quickly said: "It's cold outside, come in quickly."

Qiuling nodded and walked in slowly.

Lin Xuece turned on the air conditioner, and the indoor temperature was maintained at around 26°.

The warm air rushed towards him, and the whole room was filled with his own breath.

Gentle, gentle, full of intoxicating power.

Qiu Ling closed his eyes and took a deep breath intoxicated, but when he raised his head, he looked like a timid boy again.

Lin Xuece asked Qiuling to sit on the sofa, while he got up and took out a cup from the cabinet, and poured two cups of boiled mineral water for himself and Qiuling.

Looking at the two glasses of transparent water in front of him, Qiuling saw that there was no trace of pink liquid in the room, and said, "Did you not order holy water?"

The entire Akiba Village relies on holy water as its selling point. In the B&B, tourists’ rooms are equipped with a few bottles, and the price is marked on it.

Tourists are free to drink and pay at the checkout.

At this time, Lin Xuece not only poured mineral water, but there was no trace of holy water in the room.

"Well, I prefer to drink mineral water." Lin Xuece said.

"Why, the villagers of Qiuye Village rely on the holy water to prolong their lives. There are so many centenarians. Don't all the people who come here come here for the holy water?" Qiu Ling asked.

"I came here to relax. At first I didn't know about longevity, holy water." Lin Xuece said, "And I only plan to stay for a few days."

"Only for a few days?" Qiu Ling was taken aback, "Are you going?"

"Yes, I was originally a tourist." Lin Xuece said, feeling that the greetings were almost done, and asked, "How did you know my name? You know me?"

Qiu Ling came back to his senses and said: "You are very famous on the Internet, many people know you."

Lin Xuece was somewhat skeptical.

Thanks to Lin Qingtian, he has indeed been on several hot searches, and he is familiar, but when it comes to being famous, it is absolutely impossible for many people to know him.

This world is different from Lin Xuece's original world.

Lin Xuece's original world had to wear a mask when traveling because of the epidemic.

There are no viruses in this world. From Haijing City to Qiuye Village, Lin Xuece walked among the crowd like ordinary people.

Occasionally someone would look at him more than once, but that was all.

Even that kind of well-known movie star may not be recognized by passers-by anytime and anywhere when walking on the road, not to mention that Lin Xuece has no reputation at all, and is just a short-lived existence in the entertainment circle.

However, Qiu Ling's answer made people unable to find fault.

Lin Xuece's focus tonight is not here, and it is meaningless to delve into this topic.

Lin Xuece said: "I am very interested in the holy mountain, can you please tell me the situation on it?"

Qiu Ling said: "The village has a rule that you can't tell outsiders about the things in the holy mountain, and I don't know much, so you can't ask anything from me."

Lin Xuece nodded: "I'm just curious, you can answer me selectively, if it's inconvenient to say, you can skip it, okay?"

Qiuling looked at Lin Xuece's face.

The warm yellow light shone on his face, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, like an ancient ink painting, it looked beautiful and gentle.

Qiuling said slowly: "Yes, I am actually very curious about you, so I decided to come to you tonight. In exchange, you have to answer some questions for me."

It's just answering questions. Lin Xuece does have a lot of secrets, but for ordinary people, they are all useless.

So he readily agreed, and even to show his sincerity, he generously said to Qiu Ling: "Okay, then you ask me first, and when you finish asking, then tell me about the situation of the Holy Mountain."

Lin Xuece originally thought that Qiu Ling met him online, so the most curious thing should be about the entertainment industry.

Unexpectedly, Qiuling lowered his head, took a sip of a glass of mineral water, and said in a low voice, "Holy water has so many benefits, why don't you drink it?"

Lin Xuece said frankly: "Its color reminds me of blood, diluted blood, I don't want to drink it."

Qiuling's hand holding the cup froze, but he lowered his head so that no one could see the expression on his face clearly.

Qiuling said again: "Before you came here, you didn't even know what holy water is. Why do you suddenly want to inquire about the holy mountain?"

For this question, Lin Xuece had already prepared an answer: "I have seen the process of your sacrifice, and I am very curious about Huanyang. After all, people who are dying, come back to life all of a sudden...it's amazing."

"Is it just like that?" Qiuling raised his head to look at him, "You didn't lie to me?"

Lin Xuece stopped moving.

Of course it's more than that, but the real answer may not be believed by the other party.

Qiuling seemed to see through his thoughts, and said, "If you don't want to answer my question, you can skip it."

When Lin Xuece heard this, he immediately understood that this must not be skipped.

If he chose to skip at this time, then when he asked Qiuling later, Qiuling would definitely be able to jump.

In this case, tonight's meeting is meaningless.

After finally having the breakthrough of Qiuling, Lin Xuece didn't want to give up.

In case there is really a cub being bled on the mountain, if he can be rescued one day earlier, it will be able to save one day of suffering...

It's just answering questions, there is no danger, and it can't be done well in such a small matter.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuece immediately said: "There are other reasons, but I'm not sure if you will believe it or not, and if you are interested."

"You can tell me, because I'm curious, why do you ask me what small animal's cry is on the mountain." Qiuling said.

When Lin Xuece heard this, he immediately understood that Qiu Ling had been suspicious for a long time, and was waiting for him here.

If he had just jumped over it, there was no doubt that Qiuling would also jump later.

Lin Xuece sighed, and decided to tell the story of the ghost world and the demon clan.

However, the order of his narration did not start from the previous life.

It started when I woke up at school that day and found out that I had a dream from my previous life, and then tried to find small animals, birds with human nature, a girl who likes to joke is really a seafood, etc...

He concealed the identities of most of the people, as well as various real details, and chose the most exaggerated part of the whole thing to describe.

At first glance, it sounds like elementary school students making up stories.

It was exaggerated and unreasonable, as if it was all scenes from Lin Xuece's dream.

Most people, when it comes to things about gods and ghosts, have an attitude that they would rather believe their existence than believe their non-existence.

But people only believe in stories that are combined with reality. Like Lin Xuece said, such an exaggerated story, after hearing it, most people will only believe that he is daydreaming, and will not believe it at all.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Qiu Ling couldn't help laughing: "Are you sure these are true, aren't you filming a TV series?"

Lin Xuece nodded.

Qiuling smiled again: "Well, assuming everything you said is true, you want to find all the small animals in the shelter. But do you still remember how many monsters you raised in total? , in case something is missed..."

"I remember." Lin Xuece said.

Qiuling raised his eyebrows slightly: "How about so many small animals, can you remember them all?"

Lin Xuece nodded.

Not only he remembered, Wu Gui and the others also remembered them all.

In order to avoid omissions, they have checked countless times at home, and made a list of the cubs that have not been found. In the future, if they have the opportunity, they will travel all over the world and try their best to find every cub.

"Oh? That's it." Qiu Ling looked away and said casually, "I didn't expect you all to remember, so can you tell me what there are..."

Lin Xuece even talked about the monster race in the ghost world, so there is no need to hide such a small matter.

Anyway, it's just a mention of the species, without more specific information, it doesn't matter if it leaks out.

Lin Xuece immediately said all the small animals on the list.

But I don't know if it was his illusion. After he finished speaking, Qiuling lowered his head and remained silent for a long time without speaking.

Lin Xuece couldn't see his face clearly, but felt that the atmosphere around him was cold and stiff, and he looked a little gloomy.

"Qiu Ling?" Lin Xuece asked suspiciously, "Are you still listening?"

"Ah." Qiuling raised his head, rubbed his eyes and looked at Lin Xuece and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy and almost fell asleep."

Seeing his dazed appearance, Lin Xuece put aside the thought that he had guessed wrong just now, and said, "I'm the one who feels sorry for bothering you so late."

Only those who are dying can perform sacrifices to return to the sun.

Before today, the boy in front of him was only one step away from death.

Logically speaking, if you are recovering from a serious illness, you should take a good rest, but because of Lin Xuece's matter, you still came to visit and see each other at such a late hour.

However, after they chatted for so long, it was Lin Xuece who was talking about the information he wanted, but Qiuling didn't say anything about it. At this time, it was impossible for Lin Xuece to let him go.

Qiuling didn't seem to notice what Lin Xuece was thinking, he yawned and said, "Your shelter is quite large, even sea hares and goldfish...all of them are cute little animals."

Lin Xuece thought of the appearance of the cubs, whether in animal form or human form, in Lin Xuece's eyes, each one was the cutest cub in the world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, everyone is very cute."

Because he was immersed in his own memories, Lin Xuece didn't notice Qiuling's gloomy face.

When Lin Xuece raised his head, Qiuling returned to his yawning appearance again: "You can remember so many, it's so amazing, so you haven't missed anything?"

"No more." Lin Xuece said.

"That's it..." Qiuling said, rubbing his face with his hands, not sure if it was because of yawning, but when he put his hands down, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

Lin Xuece looked at him like this, his heart moved, and just about to say something, Qiu Ling raised his head and said to him: "Okay, I've finished asking the questions I want to ask, it's time for you to ask me?"

After waiting for so long, Lin Xuece finally arrived at this moment.

Lin Xuece said impatiently, "Please tell me the whole sacrificial process, and don't let go of every detail."

Qiuling immediately told the whole process of his feelings.

He explained it in detail, but because of the special circumstances, the clues he could provide were always limited.

He was terminally ill, so he was selected by the village chief to be sent to sacrifice to return to the sun. During the whole process, he lay listlessly in the coffin.

Can't see anything, can't touch anything.

The road from Qiuye Village to the holy mountain was bumpy, and Qiuling was already feeling unwell, and when he finally reached the holy mountain, he had already released more breath and less intake.

"I felt the coffin being put down, and then it was lifted up by a force, slowly lifting me into the air." Qiu Ling said, "It was very quiet around here. At this time, I heard something outside the coffin. The sound of creeping above."

"Squirming?" Lin Xuece frowned slightly.

"Yes, wriggling." Qiu Ling said slowly, "It seems that there are many things wriggling on the surface of the coffin, mucus rubbing against the wooden boards, and there are various cutting sounds, like lumps of meat being smashed... "

Qiuling's description made Lin Xuece feel a little uncomfortable.

Whatever was going on outside the coffin didn't sound like a good thing.

"Is there any sound of small animals?" Lin Xuece asked.

"No." Qiu Ling said with certainty, "The mountain is very quiet, there is no wind at all. There is only the sound of wriggling and chopping meat, nothing else."

After hearing this, Lin Xuece was silent for a few seconds and said, "Can you tell me the way to the holy mountain?"

"I know which direction to go, and I have a rough guess, but I haven't walked by myself, so I'm not sure if it's right." Qiuling said, briefly introduced the road, and said, "Do you want to go up?"

Lin Xuece did not answer.

Qiuling seemed to have guessed his answer, and said slowly: "The holy mountain is very dangerous. Not only are there villagers guarding against it, but also, that wriggling thing may not be the monster you are looking for. It may be a disgusting monster. Look at it. After reaching it, you will only feel sick, and if you want to leave far away, you will only regret it, such a disgusting thing is not worth your risk..."

"Thank you for being willing to tell me this." Lin Xuece interrupted Qiu Ling directly, and said.

Qiuling could see that Lin Xuece was not very happy, but he smiled abnormally, as if he was quite happy.

Seeing Lin Xuece looking at him displeasedly, Qiu Ling quickly put away his smile, and whispered to Lin Xuece: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong and made you angry."

How could Lin Xuece really care about him, he waved his hand to express that it was nothing.
