Chapter 236: Face as bright as stars, heart deeper than white clouds

Finally had a normal conversation.

"Miss, can you tell me, what is this place?"

"No, you can't."

The girl was seen shaking her head vigorously, as if Jiu Wen's words had violated something that should not be mentioned.

Jiu Wen looked at the girl tenderly. The lake-blue figure became more and more mysterious, and gradually seemed to be covered with a light layer of white mist.

Jiuwen closed his eyes and opened them again. The white mist was still there.

From the initial excitement, to confusion, to now.The girl seemed to be hiding more and more secrets, which made Jiu Wen full of curiosity, but he didn't know how to get closer to her.

His face is as bright as the stars, and his heart is deeper than the white clouds.

The girl didn't answer, and looked panicked. She looked around like she did at the beginning, nervously looking here and there, as if she was a thief, or as if there were wild beasts hidden in the surrounding woods that wanted to snatch her away. .

"Girl, are you really a thief?" Jiu Wen tried to pry again with a slightly mocking tone.

"You are the thief." The girl pouted, looking angry.

"You are the thief. Everyone in the world can be a thief, but I can't. Do you want to know why?"

With such an exaggerated statement, Jiu Wen became really interested and followed the girl's words and said, "If the girl is willing, I would like to hear the details."

“Hmph, I have more than others, so how can I care about other people’s things.

Since there is nothing I would like, how could I steal it?

You are a thief only if you want to take something that does not belong to you. "

Jiuwen smiled and nodded, "What the girl said is reasonable. What the girl said is reasonable."

The girl stared at Jiuwen for a while with wide eyes, and then asked, "Could it be that you are a thief? That's why I always feel that the surroundings are not quiet, and something is always approaching?"

"Although I'm very poor, I don't think there's anything that others have that I don't have, so I want to take it for myself. According to what the girl said, I'm obviously not a thief, but the girl is so cautious. Could it be that there's nothing but arresting people around here? Besides thieves, are there any ferocious beasts that can eat people?"

"Eating people?" Upon hearing these two words, the girl hugged her head and squatted on the ground.

Jiu Wen couldn't help laughing when he saw her looking so timid.

"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh. It's scary, very scary."

The girl quickly defended herself.

"Really? Are you right? Are there really man-eating beasts wandering around? Is it possible that you are just making a random guess and you are right?"

"Yes, yes, the young master is right, the young master is absolutely right.

The master said that a monster that eats human flesh and blood has appeared outside the village recently. He asked the brothers to go down the mountain and look for it. If they find a beast that can be caught, they can catch it to see what kind of monster it is. If they can't catch it, put the beast on the spot. Kill them to avoid harming the people.

In addition, it is also a good reminder to the people to close the doors and windows at night and not to let strangers stay at home at will.

If there is any outsider in the village, it is best to persuade him to leave and lead him to the Hanyin Inn three miles outside the village. "

Jiu Wen was confused, but also scared.Every time I hear about beasts that eat human flesh and blood, I feel panicky in my heart.

After a long silence, he asked, "Hanyin Inn? I've never heard of the Hanyin Inn that the girl mentioned."

"Young master, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. This Hanyin Inn has indeed not existed before."

Jiu Wen is very thoughtful and will think carefully about something unclear when he encounters it. At this moment, he is thinking about the Hanyin Inn.He had lived in the previous village for more than a month and had never heard of an inn three miles outside the village.

This matter is full of doubts, and the word "Hanyin" has never been mentioned by the villagers.

When did a Hanyin Inn appear, and is it closely related to the beast I just mentioned?

He thought about it carefully and finally determined that there was no inn near the village. Even when he went to the river to soak at night, he never saw the candlelight of any inn further away.

There is a wilderness and forest outside the village, and there is no inn at all.

So Jiu Wen changed his approach and continued to ask, "Girl, have you found that man-eating monster?"

"It hasn't been found yet because my senior brothers haven't come back yet."

Jiuwen sighed, looking a little worried, and then asked, "Then there are no strange guests in Hanyin Inn?"

"There's no such thing as a Hanyin Inn."

When the girl said this, Jiuwen suddenly felt that he had been teased by this girl all along, and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Girl, you are making fun of me. You are talking about monsters. How can there be such things in the Qi country? If I don't go to the government to pick up my hair, you are already doing your best. What are you talking about about Hanyin Inn? After living in the village for so long, I have never heard of Hanyin Inn."

Seeing how angry he was, the girl quickly argued, "I told the truth, not a single lie. Since you don't believe what I said, I won't say a word."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Jiu Wen without even looking at him.

Jiu Wen was anxious again, and hurriedly coaxed: "No, no, I definitely don't have the slightest intention to suspect that the girl is lying. If you have such thoughts, let me die again."

Hearing what Jiu Wen said, the girl burst into laughter, "There is no need for you and me to worry about this matter. The master said there must be monsters if they exist. The villagers asked the stranger to go three miles outside the village. Naturally, there will be Hanyin Inn. These things happened one after another.

But now that the Hanyin Inn has not appeared, it also shows that the villagers have never let anyone go three miles outside the village. Every word I said is clear and every sentence is clear.Why can't the son understand? "

"I don't know why, from the moment I met the girl to now, I feel like my three souls have lost my seven souls. Everything is in the clouds and I can't figure it out. I don't know if it's because my soul has been swallowed by the mire or because I'm just stupid. No. Know how to talk.”

"Really? I don't think the young master is an idiot."

For some reason, when the girl said this, her face showed two hints of red.Then he turned away and stopped talking.

"Girl, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that the girl remained silent, Jiuwen suddenly felt anxious, fearing that his words would offend the girl.

Maybe my words were a bit harsh, so I quickly apologized, "Don't be angry, girl. It's my fault, but you said that I'm ugly and smelly. I really feel sorry for you and can't admit it. If you can change your clothes as soon as possible, Then it won’t be ugly, smelly, and make the girl sad.”

After saying that, the girl waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, the young master is not ugly, the young master is not ugly at all. The young master is better looking than Pan An, very good-looking."
