Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 2 The Beautiful Woman in the Mountains
Zhao Ji was so frightened that his face was livid, he straightened up, and was about to continue to find the way back to the academy, when he caught sight of Zhang Xiu's calm expression, he couldn't help saying angrily: "You are so confident, there must be a way to go back, right?"

Zhang Xiu looked helpless, and said: "Not really, but my physical strength is not bad. When I meet a wolf, I just need to run faster than you, so I won't be eaten."

When Zhao Ji heard this, his heart suddenly became cold. Holding on to the locust tree, he sat down on the ground with a pale face, and murmured with dull eyes: "I don't want to die yet...I don't want to die yet... ..."

Zhang Xiu looked at his frightened look, and sighed, "You haven't been chased and bitten by wolves yet, and you've become so frightened like a bird. Think about those people who were bitten by your dogs before, and now you can understand their feelings." Alright."

"I……"

Zhao Ji recovered after hearing his words, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a long time.

At this time, his stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound, and he cried out with hunger.

Originally, he was so angry by Zhang Xiu that he didn't eat lunch during the day, and he lost his way in the back mountain for a long time. He was already hungry after exhaustion.

Glancing at Zhang Xiu, he said with some difficulty, "You, do you have anything to eat?"

Zhang Xiu nodded, rummaged in his backpack, and took out a piece of bread after a while, and said with some regret: "I still have a piece of bread here, which was made by my mother when I came to the academy. I have never been willing to eat it, but in this critical moment, I will sell it to you for 200 taels of silver!"

At the beginning, Zhao Ji saw that he was willing to share the cakes with him, and felt a little ashamed in his heart. At the end, he couldn't help but angrily said: "A piece of cake is 200 taels, does your family run a black shop!"

Zhang Xiuli replied bluntly: "You think it's too expensive and I think it's too expensive, just say whether you want it or not!"

"What the hell... bring it!"

Zhao Ji gritted his teeth fiercely, pulled the purse from his waist and threw it at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu reached out to catch the purse, smiled and handed out the bread, saying, "I don't ask for this money, it's the decoction fee I asked for for those who were bitten by you."

Zhao Ji gave him an annoyed sideways glance, and argued, "I didn't bite it, it was a dog."

Zhang Xiu looked at the purse in his hand, and said indifferently, "Hey, aren't they all the same..."

"What am I..."

Zhao Ji took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down the anger in his heart. He could see that if he died here today, it was very likely that he was not bitten to death by a wolf, but by Zhang Xiu...

Thinking depressingly, he took a bite of the bread worth 200 taels of silver, but in the next moment, his expression changed immediately.

The muscles of his cheeks twitched violently twice, he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Zhang Xiu with a bad expression: "You said just now that your mother made this pancake for you when you came to the academy?"

Zhang Xiu was a little confused, so she frowned and said, "Yes, what's the problem?"

Zhao Ji continued to ask with a dark face, "When did you come to the academy?"

Zhang Xiu thought about it for a while, and said, "About ten years ago."

Zhao Ji: "@#￥%￥#@..."

God damn ten years ago! !
It seems that I have underestimated Zhang Xiu after all, Zhang Xiu is much darker than opening a black shop...

After a while, Zhao Ji ate a few mouthfuls of bean cakes that Zhang Xiu used to feed the cows, and finally felt alive again, stood up again, and said, "Go ahead, maybe you can find the blessing before dark." Bo them."

Zhang Xiu hummed, and the two walked slowly together in the thick fog.

Not long after, the two came to a winding path, at the end of the path, a thatched cottage appeared in front of them.

An oil lamp was lit in the room, and in the shadow of the window, a graceful figure was holding a handkerchief, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he was sobbing silently.

Seeing that there was a family in front of him, Zhao Ji showed excitement, and walked forward: "There is a family in front, it seems that we don't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight!"

Zhang Xiu looked at the simple thatched cottage not far away, which had already appeared in front of her once, pressed Zhao Ji's shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Don't go there, this family has a problem!"

Zhao Ji trembled and stopped, turning his head with doubts on his face: "What's the problem?"

Zhang Xiu said in a low voice: "I have been wandering around the back mountain for ten years, and I have never heard of people living in the back mountain. Think about it for yourself, a house suddenly appeared in a barren mountain, and there lived a graceful woman in it." A young woman..."

In the deep voice, a gust of cold wind hit Zhao Ji's back, and he shivered involuntarily.

In the past few years, he had heard many anecdotes and strange stories. Among them was a story about a young man who was lured into a mountain house by a young woman, was found dead by the roadside the next day, and had his heart gouged out.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and looked at Zhang Xiu with some horror: "Could it be that this family..."

Zhang Xiu nodded with determination: "Well, you guessed it right, this family and the women inside must be dedicated to performing fairy dances!"

"what??"

Zhao Ji was stunned with a messy expression, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.

When Zhao Ji showed an expression of doubting life, the women in the room were also full of mess.

When Zhang Xiu came here for the first time, he only glanced at her through the window, then turned and left, completely ignoring her.

At that time, she thought that Zhang Xiu was an upright gentleman, unwilling to share the same room with women, and a bad guy.

But now it seems...

Her heart was full of flaws, and she couldn't help but want to speak out.

At this time, Zhao Ji who was outside the house finally came back to his senses, showing a dumbfounding expression, and said: "Brother Zhang, my Zhang Dashan, who would play fairy dance in this ghostly place! Take a step back, Even if I do encounter some villains, my dignified son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, who would dare to try to touch me?"

"What's wrong with that."

Zhang Xiu glanced at him faintly: "In such a ghostly place, even if someone kills your body and feeds it to wolves, who would know?"

Zhao Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, and felt that what he said was reasonable, and then he noticed Zhang Xiu's gentle and refined smile, which made his hair stand on end again, and took a step back unconsciously: "Don't use this kind of smile on me, I... ...I'm so scared!"

Just at this time, a wolf howl sounded in the distance, which became the last straw that crushed Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was terrified by the howling of wolves, gritted his teeth cruelly, and said, "Even if we really meet bad people, it is much better than staying outside and being bitten to death by wolves!" As if he had made up his mind, he strode towards the grass house to go.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help shaking her head, and followed him to the front of the hut.

After a few "dong dong" knocks on the door, a beautiful woman in plain clothes with a charming face opened the door.

It seemed that her eyes were slightly red and swollen because she had just cried, which added a touch of pear blossom and rainy freshness to her body.

Zhao Ji was stunned by the woman's beauty for a moment, then came back to his senses, and said politely: "Ma'am, brother Zhang and I are students of Luzhou Academy. We strayed into the mountains and couldn't find the way back. I don't know if Madam can let us rest here for one night."

The beautiful woman covered her face with a handkerchief, glanced shyly at Zhang Xiu and Zhao Ji, lowered her head and said, "If the two gentlemen don't think the humble house is simple, then come in."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and followed her into the room with his chest upright.

Immediately, he noticed that Zhang Xiu did not follow the house, turned around and found Zhang Xiu was circling the house, as if searching for something.

Zhao Ji was confused and asked, "Brother Zhang, what are you looking for?"

Zhang Xiu looked at the water tank at the door, and said in a casual tone: "Oh, you are busy with your work, I will find out where her accomplice is hiding."

Zhao Ji: "..."

Beautiful woman: "..."

For a moment, she almost couldn't help shouting: I'm a ghost, I didn't dance like a fairy!
