Half-life immortal

Chapter 106

She apologized quickly, and finished speaking in the blink of an eye, but there was still a sweet and tender smile on her face, like a child who took a gadget by mistake. Did she realize that she was wrong?From the analysis of her last sentence, it seems that she does not intend to give up.

Xu Shili took a deep breath, as if he wanted to talk to him carefully, "Xue..."

Xue Qinglan quickly grabbed his arm, pulled him forward, and urged: "Oh, they must be getting impatient! Let's go quickly, or we won't be able to catch up with them!"

She is very good at dealing with people like Xu Shili, and she stilled all the words behind him at once, babbling non-stop, but occupied all he wanted to say.His body froze, and the moment she grabbed his arm, all the things he wanted to say in his mind disappeared, and he couldn't say a word, so he just followed her in a daze.

He is a smart person, and he has always claimed to be calm and calm, but for some reason, after meeting Xue Qinglan, he can't help but follow her pace. As long as he is in front of Xue Qinglan, his intelligence seems to disappear. If outsiders look at his appearance, they will be so surprised that their eyeballs will drop all over the floor.

After walking a few steps, he gradually regained his train of thought, remembered the business, held Xue Qinglan back, and said, "Junior Sister, you really don't know how to talk nonsense?"

Xue Qinglan rolled her eyes, and said helplessly: "I won't say that I saw three killer-like people chasing you, trying to attack you, and then you knocked them down in the blink of an eye. But being chased doesn't seem to be a shame. Is it okay? So what are you worrying about?"

Xu Shili heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her words, it seems that she didn't realize the key point.

But then Xue Qinglan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "But senior brother Xu, you are so powerful, you knocked out those three people in the blink of an eye! Actually, I am very curious, are those three people too weak, or are they weak?" What scruples do they have that they dare not attack you with all their strength?"

Xu Shili sighed: "Junior Sister Xue, if I owe you a favor, don't say it."

Xue Qinglan patted him on the shoulder generously, and said, "It's over! It's a secret, it's a secret that belongs to the two of us, and no one else will know."

She really didn't plan to talk nonsense, let alone what the significance of this is, if Xu Shili hadn't discovered her keenly, she would have pretended not to have seen her.In any case, she owes Xu Shili a favor, and she took a lot of elixir from him for nothing. Although it was to save Feng Yutian, she took it anyway, so the debt of favor is natural Remember, she wanted to know Xu Shili's secrets not just out of curiosity, but also to see if there was anything she could do to help him.

She let go of Xu Shili, and walked forward in a happy mood. Xu Shili slowed her down by half a step. Looking at her back, she couldn't help but think of what she just mentioned..."It belongs to the two of us." ", isn't that a bit...

He blushed unconsciously, but fortunately Xue Qinglan walked in front and was unable to see this scene.

From what Xue Qinglan said just now, he could see that she had vaguely sensed the secret he wanted to hide, but she didn't ask him, was she waiting for him to tell her?Or really don't want to know?Or, she saw his embarrassment, so she didn't ask?No... With her temperament, maybe she didn't bother to ask him what he didn't want to say, but she planned to find out the whole thing by herself?

It's just that since Xu Shili didn't plan to tell his other companions, he didn't plan to tell her either.He didn't want these friends...especially her...to be involved in his affairs.As he said, his situation is not as good as outsiders imagined, and a bad situation will turn into an extremely dangerous situation. He really doesn't want to involve others, and he even thinks that if nothing can be done, he will find a chance to leave It's better for Xue Qinglan and others than to pull them into a deeper vortex.

When he was thinking about what to do next, Xue Qinglan suddenly turned around, as if she had something to say, Xu Shili was distracted, and almost bumped into her, and subconsciously grabbed her arms to stabilize her figure.

"Sorry." He quickly let go of her and took two steps back.

Xue Qinglan didn't think there was anything wrong, since he didn't step on her foot anyway, and said, "Oh, did I scare you by stopping suddenly? Actually, I just wanted to tell you..."

She smoothed the broken hair that blocked her eyes behind her ears, and used her movements to attract Xu Shili's attention.Xu Shili really looked up at her, she showed a sweet smile, and said: "I saw that you were very embarrassed when you received the letter from the blue bird before. If there is anything I can help, feel free to ask."

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, Xue Qinglan instantly guessed his thoughts, and said: "Hey! Don't say no! Don't always put on airs of senior brother! Senior brother is also a human being. When you need help! Hey, although it’s very likely that I won’t be able to help you if you ask me, within the scope of my ability, I will still give you advice!”

After she finished speaking, Xu Shili responded with a wry smile: "Yes. I wrote it down."

"You're so good!" She laughed more and more happily, and she didn't shy away from it, she pulled Xu Shili and walked forward.

Feng Yutian and the others didn't go too far, probably seeing that the two of them hadn't returned for a long time, so they stopped by the roadside to rest, which was considered to be waiting for the two of them.

Not long after, Xue Qinglan and Xu Shili came back.The two came back and did not cause any big disturbances, everyone exchanged a few words in a very flat manner, and went on the road again, but the people present were all young people, if they were interested, they would have noticed that Xu Shili was always staring at Xue Qinglan inadvertently Looking from his back, there seems to be some kind of deep meaning in those eyes...

Although Feng Yutian looks indifferent on the surface and doesn't care about everyone, his heart is not as indifferent as he appears on the surface. He who often pays attention to Xue Qinglan can naturally keenly notice another person who is also looking at her. Xue Qinglan's eyes.

As for Xue Qinglan herself, she doesn't have any self-consciousness of being watched by others. When everyone goes on the road together, it's definitely either you looking at me or I watching you on the road. What's so strange about it?
The day passed quickly, and when the sun was setting, they had already arrived at the wasteland outside the city of Jiangdu. This place seemed to have been abandoned for some time, and there was an old atmosphere everywhere, like a village that suffered from wars a long time ago.

Xu Shili introduced: "This was a battlefield in ancient times, and many people died."

Xue Qinglan smiled and said, "So what? Is there a ghost?"

She has just gone through a thrilling trip to the ruins, and she has successfully become good friends with a ghost. Now she has a strong resistance to ghosts, and walking on the ancient battlefield at night can't frighten her.

Before she finished speaking, the howling of wolves came from afar.

Xu Shili didn't care about the howling of wolves in the distance, and could still smile and said: "There are no ghosts, but after all, this place is quite dark, and wolves, tigers and leopards are indispensable, everyone should be careful."

Liang Boxan suggested: "Since the road at night is not safe, why don't we find a place to spend the night? Looking at the current time, even if we arrived at Jiangdu City overnight, the city gates have already been closed. Anyway, we are not in a hurry, so let's rest in the wild. "

His proposal was very reasonable and was unanimously approved by everyone.Although Xue Qinglan didn't like him, she just didn't like him as a person, and she would still accept his reasonable opinions.

Besides, she didn't want to dance with wolves at night.

They wanted to find a clean place to spend the night, but the ancient battlefield was too dark, and there were wild wolves watching around, making it uncomfortable to stay there, so they decided to go further and avoid this place. a place.

Although the wild wolf is fierce, they are not easy to provoke.For the wild wolves, these people exuded a dangerous smell. They only dared to stare at the side, not daring to step forward, just watching Xu Shili and the others walk away.

Xue Qinglan turned her head to look at those wild wolves hiding, recalling her experience of being chased by wild wolves when she was a child, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.Back then, she was the food of wild wolves, but now, the wild wolves could only hide when they saw her, not even daring to show their heads. Such a big contrast made her feel that she was really different.

"Junior Sister Xue."

When she was distracted, Xu Shili suddenly called her.She turned her head, only to realize that because of her daze, she was already far behind the others.

Xu Shili stretched out his hand to her, and said with a smile, "The muddy road ahead is slippery, be careful."

"En." Xue Qinglan nodded to him with a smile, and extended her jade hand to accept his kindness.The two walked hand in hand on the muddy road, Xue Qinglan was half a step behind him, looking at his profile, she couldn't help feeling that he was really gentle.However, what kind of disaster will such a meek and capable person bear?He didn't want to say it, but he didn't think that others would worry about it.

It seems that the outskirts of Jiangdu have been raining for a while, and the more you walk, the more muddy, there are many large and small puddles, and some weeds are overgrown next to it, and there is a small road that has been walked a lot. It is relatively flat, but there are also some A lot of silt.

Xue Qinglan frowned as she walked, the place was muddy everywhere, it seemed impossible to find a clean place to spend the night, she couldn't just lie in the mud, really...

Seeing her unhappy, Xu Shili explained: "Jiangdu is close to the lower reaches of the Yujiang River, and it rains all year round. The sediment in the Yujiang River is often swept to the banks of Jiangdu, so a piece of fertile soil is formed near here, attracting many people to come here. Settled here. This suburb used to be a fertile land, but because of the excessive flooding and the proximity to the ancient battlefield, people felt that it was ominous, so they abandoned it. No one takes care of it all year round, and it is common for some people to be difficult to walk.”

Xue Qinglan listened to his explanation of the history of the suburbs of Jiangdu, and the displeasure caused by the difficulty of walking on the muddy ground gradually disappeared, and said: "It turns out that it is like this, no wonder there is so much mud, and the sky is also gloomy and rainy, what should we do tonight?" It won't suddenly rain, will it?"

Xu Shili said: "I remember there is a shed in front, if it really rains, we can stay there for a while."

"Have you been to Jiangdu before?"

"Well, I came here a few times when I was a child."

"Oh, no wonder you know so much about this place!"

She quickly chatted with him about Jiangdu. Xue Qinglan had never been to Jiangdu, but she had traveled to many places, so she chatted with Xu Shili very quickly.

"Is it rainy in Jiangdu? Yuzhou is also there, but it is almost never cold there, it is always warm, and there are stretches of bamboo forests, which are beautiful! In spring, pick fresh tender bamboo shoots and morning dew. It’s also delicious to make soup!”

She talked very vigorously, and she talked about food without knowing it. When it comes to eating, she is also a half-expert. After all, most of her life is spent fighting to fill her stomach. How can she be confused?

Xu Shili asked seemingly unintentionally: "You and Junior Brother Feng met in Yuzhou, right?"

She waved her hand and said, "Don't mention it. I was scared to death that time. I almost died. Strictly speaking, I died twice. The first time was scared to death, and the second time was real death."

"How to say?" He only knew that Feng Yutian met her in Yuzhou, and then brought her back to Taiqing Mountain after being seriously injured, but he didn't know where this "scare to death" came from.

She scratched her head, seeing that Feng Yutian was walking a long way ahead, probably unable to hear the conversation between them, she explained in a low voice: "It's just that he looks black all over, that's the first time I saw him. To be honest, I really thought I was going to die at the time."

Xu Shili asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that with your aura protecting you, you wouldn't be hurt by him?"

"Uh..." She was stunned for a moment, and said quickly, "That's the first time! I don't understand yet, it's normal to be afraid."

He suddenly pulled her back, stared into her eyes, and said: "Junior Sister Xue, just tell the truth, in fact, you didn't have any confidence at the time, did you? If he hadn't been exhausted at that time, you would have been killed by him." of."

"Hush..." She hurriedly made a silent gesture to him, pointed to Feng Yutian in front, and whispered: "Don't be so loud, he will hear it."

Xu Shili didn't care at all, but he lowered his voice and said, "Is it?"

Xue Qinglan said depressedly: "Yes, I know no one will recognize him once he uses his fierceness. But in this world, only I can help him, so how can I leave him alone? If I don't even save him , then he is dead."

His expression softened, and he said with a complicated mood: "Since you have done so much for him, why are you afraid that he will hear it?"

She said as a matter of course: "Because he will definitely be uneasy when he finds out! Don't look at him as cool on the surface and no one cares, but in fact he is very fragile. Anyway, I am fine now, so why should I care about a little bit at that time?"

She knew that Feng Yutian was afraid of fierceness, maybe it was because he used fierceness to hurt his most beloved senior brother in the early years, she didn't want to add to the burden in his heart, she just wanted to encourage him to overcome the fierceness as soon as possible.

Xu Shili was not at ease, and said: "This is not a trifle. If he uses the forbidden technique again in the future and no one recognizes it, will you save him again and again? Then you will be killed by him sooner or later." Accidentally killed."

Xue Qinglan smiled, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, he won't use it indiscriminately often. And even if it's like this, it's okay, anyway, that's what I'm useful for."

Xu Shili suddenly frowned, and said, "You mean he uses you as a tool to suppress the backlash of forbidden techniques?"

"Ah? No, no." Xue Qinglan seemed to have misunderstood his tone, and quickly explained: "No! I mean, I can only help him with this, but he never treats me as a Meaning of tools."

Xu Shili didn't seem to believe her explanation, and said calmly, "I see."

The two of them were getting farther and farther away from the people in front of them while they were talking, so he stopped talking after saying this, and continued walking forward with Xue Qinglan.

Xue Qinglan was worried, thinking that Xu Shili must have really misunderstood... But there should be nothing wrong, it is impossible for him to quarrel with Feng Yutian, right?At most, it was to remind Feng Yutian tactfully, maybe Feng Yutian couldn't understand the reason for that piece of wood, forget it, don't care about it.

At this moment, she happened to see Yulian come back, and said to Xu Shili: "Senior brother, there is a house built next to the river in front of it, the lights are bright, it seems that someone lives there, should we go and stay there?"

"Is there a family here?" Xu Shili looked puzzled. In his memory, it seemed that there had never been a family here, and seeing the wild mountains and wolves around, normal people would not build a house here, would they?

He said cautiously: "Tell Junior Brother Feng and the others to wait a moment, there may be something strange in that house, so don't act rashly."

Yulian nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Feng said the same thing."

She seemed to be more impatient with Feng Yutian, she bowed slightly towards Xu Shili and walked forward quickly, looking for Feng Yutian and others.

Xue Qinglan was not nervous at all, and said, "Could it be that there are ghosts? Haha, Brother Xu, don't worry, even if there are ghosts, they won't be able to defeat you! At most, there are two or three kittens and puppies that haunt the wilderness. There is a storm. We are so powerful that we can kill the troublemaker with one punch!"

She gestured with her small fists, she was radiant and energetic.Seeing her appearance, Xu Shili couldn't help but smile, and said: "Even so, it's better to be careful, don't follow other people's ways."

They walked over to meet Feng Yutian and the others, and from a distance, they saw a rather gorgeous mansion standing by the river, which could accommodate about a dozen people temporarily, and the lights inside were flickering, as if someone was at home.But this kind of house is not like a residential house, but more like a Fuja’s other residence in the suburbs.

The six people got together to discuss whether to stay in the unknown house, Liang Boshan said: "The house seems extraordinary, but we are only going to stay overnight, there shouldn't be any problem."

Feng Yutian said concisely: "There is a monster inside."

Yi Ting leaned against Feng Yutian, and said sweetly: "Brother Yutian wants to go, I will go, if you don't go, I won't go either."

Yulian glanced at Yi Ting with a bit of hostility, and said: "This house has a demonic aura, but I don't know if this family is occupied by monsters, or this house is just a cover-up for monsters."

Liang Boshan said: "If there really are monsters, then we should go to eliminate harm for the people. This house is so conspicuous on the side of the road, it is obviously a trap to seduce passers-by. If the monster sincerely harms people, it is useless for us to eliminate harm for the people." No."

Xu Shili nodded, and roughly understood what everyone was thinking. In short, he was similar to Xue Qinglan, and didn't think the monster inside could pose a threat to them.He himself didn't think that there was really a big monster that could put the six of them in danger, so he asked for Xue Qinglan's opinion symbolically, "Junior Sister Xue, what about you?"
