Chapter 39: The Story of Yicheng
Ah Qing seemed to be stunned for a moment before she said, "Yes, yes!"
Xiao Xingchen said, "Then slow down, don't walk so fast. It would be bad if you bump into someone again."
He didn't mention that he couldn't see either. He took Ah Qing's hand and led her to the side of the road, saying, "Go this way. There are fewer people."
His words and actions were gentle and careful. Ah Qing stretched out her hand and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she quickly took the purse from his waist without anyone noticing. She said, "Ah Qing, thank you, brother!"
Xiao Xingchen said: "It's not my brother, it's the Taoist priest."
Ah Qing blinked and said, "He is the Taoist priest and also my brother."
Xiao Xingchen smiled and said, "Since you call me brother, then return your purse to me."
Even if Ah Qing's hands and feet were ten times faster, they couldn't hide from the five senses of a cultivator. When she heard that something was wrong, she ran away with her staff in hand. Before she had run two steps, Xiao Xingchen caught her with one hand and brought her back: "I told you not to run so fast. What if you bump into someone again?"
Ah Qing twisted and struggled, her lips moved, and her upper teeth bit her lower lip. Wei Wuxian thought, "Oh no, she's going to yell 'molest'!" At this moment, a middle-aged man hurried out from the corner of the street. When he saw Ah Qing, his eyes lit up, and he walked over to her, cursing, "Little bitch, I caught you, give me my money back!"
He was still not satisfied with his scolding, so he waved his hand and slapped her in the face, which frightened Ah Qing so much that she quickly shrank her neck and closed her eyes. However, the slap did not land on her cheek, but was intercepted by someone halfway.
Xiao Xingchen said, "Please be patient, sir. It's not good to treat a little girl like this."
Ah Qing secretly opened his eyes and took a look. The middle-aged man had obviously exerted great strength. His palm was supported by Xiao Xingchen, seemingly lightly, but he could not move forward even a little bit. He was frightened and said stubbornly: "You blind man who came out of nowhere, what kind of hero are you! Is this little wild bitch your lover? Do you know that she is a thief! She picked my purse, and you protected her, you are also a thief!"
Xiao Xingchen grabbed him with one hand and Ah Qing with the other, and turned around and said, "Give the money back to them."
Ah Qing quickly took out the small amount of money from her pocket and handed it over. Xiao Xingchen let go of the middle-aged man, he lowered his head to count, there was no shortage, looked at the blind man, knew it was difficult to deal with, so he had to leave in embarrassment.
Xiao Xingchen said: "You are so brave. You can't see, yet you still dare to steal things."
Ah Qing jumped up three feet high: "He touched me! He pinched my butt and it hurt. What's wrong with me taking some money from him? Such a big bag only has so little in it, and he has the nerve to hit me fiercely, poor bastard!"
Wei WuXian thought, “It was obviously you who bumped into him first and tried to attack him, but now it seems like he was wrong first. What a great way of subverting the status quo.”
Xiao Xingchen shook his head and said, "If that's the case, you shouldn't provoke him. If no one was here today, a slap in the face wouldn't solve the problem. Take care of yourself, little girl."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked in another direction. Wei WuXian thought to himself, "He didn't ask for his purse back. My uncle is also a man who cherishes women."
Ah Qing held the small purse she had stolen and stood there blankly for a while, then suddenly stuffed it into her arms, chased after him while tapping the bamboo pole, and threw herself on Xiao Xingchen's back. Xiao Xingchen had no choice but to hold her up again and asked, "What else?"
Ah Qing said, "Your purse is still with me!"
Xiao Xingchen said, "I'll give it to you. It's not much money. Don't steal it before you spend it all."
Ah Qing said, "Just now I heard that stinky ghost cursing at people. So you are also blind?"
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Xiao Xingchen's expression instantly dimmed, and his smile disappeared in an instant.
The innocent words of children are the most deadly. Children do not understand anything, and it is precisely because they do not understand that they can hurt people's hearts most directly.
Under the bandages wrapped around Xiao Xingchen's eyes, a streak of blood grew increasingly darker, almost seeping through the cloth. He raised his hand to cover it, his arm trembling slightly. The pain and injury of having an eye gouged out are not so easy to heal. Ah Qing thought he was just dizzy, and said happily: "Then I'll follow you!"
Xiao Xingchen forced a smile and said, "Why are you following me? Do you want to be a female crown?"
Ah Qing said, "You are the older blind man, and I am the younger blind man. If we go together, we can look after each other. I have no parents and no place to go. It doesn't matter who I go with or where I go." She was very smart and was afraid that Xiao Xingchen would not agree. She knew that he was a good man and threatened him, "If you don't take me with you and don't agree to me, I will spend money very quickly and spend it all in a short time. Then I will steal and cheat, and get slapped by the boss. I will be so pitiful that I will not know which way to go. How pitiful."
Xiao Xingchen laughed and said, "You are so clever and cunning. You are the only one who can trick people into not knowing where to go. Who can beat you so hard that you can't tell where to go?"
After looking for a while, Wei Wuxian discovered something magical.
With Xiao Xingchen himself as a comparison, he found that Xue Yang's fake role was really similar! Apart from the appearance, every detail was vivid, and he could believe that Xue Yang was possessed by Xiao Xingchen at that time.
Ah Qing was clingy and nagging, pretending to be blind and pitiful, and stuck to him all the way. Xiao Xingchen told her many times that it was dangerous to follow him, but Ah Qing just wouldn't listen. Even when Xiao Xingchen passed by a village and killed an old yellow cow that had become a spirit, she didn't scare her away. She still called him Taoist priest and stuck to him like a piece of taffy. She followed him all the time, perhaps because Ah Qing was smart and pleasing, brave, and not a hindrance, and she was a blind little girl who was alone and helpless, Xiao Xingchen tacitly allowed her to follow him.
Wei Wuxian originally thought that Xiao Xingchen should have a destination, but after skipping a few memories, judging from the local customs and accents, the places they went to were not connected to a single route, but rather chaotic. It didn't seem like they were heading somewhere, but more like they were randomly hunting at night, going to solve any strange incidents they heard about. He thought to himself, "Perhaps the case of the Chang family in Liyang dealt him a huge blow, and he no longer wanted to mingle with the immortal families, but he couldn't let go of his ambitions, so he chose to wander around and hunt at night, doing whatever he could."
At this time, Xiao Xingchen and Ah Qing were walking on a long, flat road with waist-high weeds on both sides of the road. Suddenly, Ah Qing cried out "Ah". Xiao Xingchen immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Ah Qing said, "Hey, nothing, I just sprained my ankle."
Wei Wuxian could see clearly that she was not screaming because of her sprained ankle. She was walking fine. If she hadn’t pretended to be blind in front of Xiao Xingchen so that he couldn’t chase her away, she could have jumped into the sky. Ah Qing screamed because she had just glanced and saw a black figure lying in the overgrown weeds.
Although they didn't know whether he was dead or alive, Ah Qing probably felt that it was troublesome to tell whether he was dead or alive. She obviously didn't want Xiao Xingchen to find this person, so she urged him, "Let's go, let's go to some city ahead to rest, I'm so tired!"
Xiao Xingchen said, "Didn't you sprain your ankle? Do you want me to carry you?"
Ah Qing was overjoyed, and the bamboo stick made a loud bang: "Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Xingchen smiled and turned his back to her, kneeling on one knee. Ah Qing was about to pounce on him, but suddenly, Xiao Xingchen held her down, stood up, and said with concentration: "There is a smell of blood."
Ah Qing also smelled a faint smell of blood, but it was faint and sometimes visible due to the night wind. She pretended to be confused and said, "Is it there? Why can't I smell it? Is someone nearby slaughtering pigs and slaughtering animals?"
As soon as she finished speaking, as if the sky was against her, the man in the bush coughed.
Although it was an extremely faint sound, it did not escape Xiao Xingchen's eyes and ears. He immediately identified the direction, stepped into the bushes, and squatted down beside the man.
Ah Qing saw that he had discovered her after all, so she stamped her feet, pretended to grope her way over, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Xingchen was feeling the man's pulse and said, "There is a person lying here."
Ah Qing said, "No wonder there's such a strong smell of blood. Is he dead? Should we dig a hole and bury him?"
Of course, a dead person is less troublesome than a living person, so Ah Qing couldn't wait for this person to die. However, Xiao Xingchen said, "He's not dead yet, he's just seriously injured."
After a little thought, he carefully picked up the man on the ground.
Ah Qing saw that her original position was taken by a bloody and smelly man, and that the promise to carry her into the city was also cancelled. She pouted and poked a few deep holes in the ground with the bamboo pole. But she knew that this man, Xiao Xingchen, had to be saved, so she couldn't complain. The two returned to the road and continued walking along it. The more Wei Wuxian walked, the more familiar it felt. Suddenly, he remembered, "Isn't this the road that Lan Zhan and I took when we came to Yicheng?"
Sure enough, at the end of the road, Yicheng stood majestically.
At this time, the city gate was not so dilapidated, the corner tower was intact, and there was no graffiti on the city wall. Entering the city gate, the fog was thicker than outside, but compared to the heavy demon fog that came later, it was almost negligible. There were lights coming out of the doors and windows of the houses on both sides, and there were voices coming from people. Although it was relatively remote, it was at least a little popular.
Xiao Xingchen was carrying a seriously injured and bleeding man on his back, and he knew that no store would accept such a guest, so he did not ask for a place to stay, but directly asked the night watchman who was walking towards him if there was an unused charity cemetery in the city. The night watchman told him: "There is one over there, and the old man who was guarding the cemetery just passed away last month, and now there is no one there." Seeing that Xiao Xingchen was blind and it was inconvenient for him to find the way, he took the initiative to take him there.
It was the funeral home where Xiao Xingchen's body was placed after his death.
After thanking the night watchman, Xiao Xingchen carried the injured man to the dormitory on the right. The room was neither big nor small, with a small bed against the wall and all kinds of pots, pans, and other things. He laid the man down carefully, took out the pill from his Qiankun bag, and pushed it into his clenched teeth. Ah Qing searched the room for a while before happily saying, "There are so many things here! There's a basin!"
Xiao Xingchen asked, "Is there a stove?"
"have!"
Xiao Xingchen said, "Ah Qing, try to boil some water. Be careful not to burn yourself."
Ah Qing pursed her lips and started to work. Xiao Xingchen touched the man's forehead and took out another pill for him to eat. Wei Wuxian wanted to take a closer look at the man's face, but Ah Qing was obviously not interested in him and was very irritable, not even giving him a glance. After boiling the water, Xiao Xingchen slowly wiped the blood off his face. Ah Qing took a curious look at him from the side and said "Huh" silently.
What surprised her was that after wiping his face clean, the man actually looked quite good.
Seeing this face, Wei WuXian’s heart sank.
As expected, it was Xue Yang.
He thought to himself, "It's a narrow road that enemies often cross. Xiao Xingchen, you are really... so unlucky."
At this time, Xue Yang looked like a teenager, 70% handsome and 30% childish. But who would have known that such a teenager with a pair of fangs when he smiled would be a madman who was so cruel that he wanted to kill his entire family.
Calculating the time, this should be after Jin Guangyao took the position of Immortal Supervisor. Xue Yang is in such a mess right now, he must have just escaped from Jin Guangyao's "cleansing". Jin Guangyao didn't beat him to death, so he was naturally embarrassed to make it public, or maybe he believed that he would not survive, so he announced to the public that he had cleaned him up. Unfortunately, after a thousand years of harm, Xue Yang was rescued by his old rival Xiao Xingchen when he was dying. Poor Xiao Xingchen didn't even think of touching this person's face carefully, and accidentally saved the enemy who had hurt him to such a situation. Although Ah Qing can see, she is not a member of the Immortal Sect, does not know Xue Yang, and does not know the deep hatred between them. She doesn't even know Xiao Xingchen's name...
Wei Wuxian sighed inwardly again. He couldn't be more unlucky. It was as if all the bad luck in the world was afflicted by Xiao Xingchen alone.
At this time, Xue Yang frowned. Xiao Xingchen was checking and bandaging his wounds. He felt that he seemed to be waking up, so he said, "Don't move."
Xue Yang has done a lot of bad things, so he is naturally very alert. When he heard the voice, he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up immediately, rolled to the corner, and stared at Xiao Xingchen with a fierce look in his eyes. His eyes were like a trapped beast, and he did not hide his cruelty and malice at all. Ah Qing's scalp was numb. This feeling also reached Wei Wuxian's scalp, and he shouted in his heart: "Speak! Xiao Xingchen must remember Xue Yang's voice!"
Xue Yang said: "You..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Wuxian knew it was all over. Even if he opened his mouth, Xiao Xingchen wouldn’t be able to notice.
Xue Yang's throat was injured at this time. After coughing up a lot of blood, his voice became hoarse and it was totally unrecognizable as the same person!
Xiao Xingchen sat beside the bed and said, "I told you not to move. Your wound is about to split. Don't worry, I rescued you and I won't hurt you."
Xue Yang reacted very quickly and immediately guessed that Xiao Xingchen most likely didn't recognize him. He rolled his eyes, coughed a few times, and asked tentatively, "Who are you?"
Ah Qing interrupted, "You have eyes but you can't see for yourself, you're just a wandering Taoist priest. People have worked so hard to carry you back to treat your illness and save your life, and have given you elixirs, yet you're still so fierce!"
Xue Yang immediately turned his gaze towards her and asked coldly, "Blind man?"
Wei WuXian felt bad.
This little rascal was sharp, cunning, and extremely vigilant. Even though Ah Qing had white pupils, he would not let down his guard and would not let go of any suspicious points. If he was not careful, he would catch the little tail. Just now, Xue Yang only said four words, and based on the tone of these four words, it was difficult to determine whether he was fierce or not, unless you saw his expression and eyes.
Fortunately, Ah Qing had been lying since she was a child, so she immediately said, "Do you look down on the blind man? It was the blind man who saved you, otherwise you would have been stinking on the street and no one would care! The first thing you said when you woke up was not to thank the Taoist priest, how rude! You even called me a blind man, humph... so what if I'm blind..."
She successfully changed the subject and deflected the main point. She looked angry and aggrieved, and kept muttering. Xiao Xingchen hurried to comfort her. Xue Yang leaned against the wall and rolled his eyes. Xiao Xingchen turned to him and said, "Don't lean against the wall. The wound on your leg hasn't been bandaged yet. Come over here."
Xue Yang's expression was cold, still thinking, Xiao Xingchen said again: "If you delay treatment any longer, your legs may become useless."
Hearing this, Xue Yang made a decisive decision.
Wei Wuxian could guess what he was thinking: he was seriously injured and unable to move, and he would not be able to survive without help. Since Xiao Xingchen was stupid enough to come to him and be the victim, why not just accept it.
Then, his expression suddenly changed, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, Taoist Priest."
After seeing Xue Yang's ability to change his face ruthlessly and smile at the same time, Wei Wuxian couldn't help but worry about the two blind people in the room, one real and one fake. Especially Ah Qing, the fake blind person. She can see everything. If Xue Yang finds out about this fact, she will definitely die to prevent the secret from being leaked. Although he knew that Ah Qing would most likely be killed by Xue Yang in the end, he still felt nervous when he had to go through this process.
Suddenly, he noticed that Xue Yang had been trying to avoid Xiao Xingchen from touching his left hand. Upon closer inspection, he found that Xue Yang had a broken little finger on his left hand. The broken part was old, not a new injury. Xiao Xingchen must have known that Xue Yang had nine fingers. No wonder Xue Yang put on a black glove on his left hand when he pretended to be a fake.
Xiao Xingchen was dedicated to treating and helping people. He lowered his head to apply medicine to Xue Yang and bandaged him beautifully. He said, "It's done. But you'd better not move. Otherwise, the bones will be dislocated again."
Xue Yang was already certain that Xiao Xingchen was indeed stupid enough not to recognize him. Although he was covered in blood and in a mess, that lazy and smug smile appeared on his face again. He said, "Master, why don't you ask who I am? Why am I so badly injured?"
Anyone in his position would be careful to avoid these topics to avoid revealing any clues about his identity, but he chose to do the opposite and deliberately brought it up. Xiao Xingchen lowered his head to pack up the medicine box and bandages, and said gently: "Since you don't want to say it, why should I ask. We met by chance, and I'm just helping you. It's not a big deal for me. When you recover from your injury, we will go our separate ways. If it were me, there are many things I don't want others to ask about."
Wei Wuxian thought: Even if Xiao Xingchen asked, this little rascal would definitely make up a perfect excuse to fool him. People are bound to have some complicated pasts. Xiao Xingchen didn't ask too many questions, which was originally a sign of respect. Who knew that Xue Yang just took advantage of his respect. Wei Wuxian was sure that not only would he trick Xiao Xingchen into helping him heal his injuries, but after he recovered, he would definitely not obediently "go his separate ways"!
Xue Yang rested in the dormitory of the village keeper, while Xiao Xingchen went to the lobby of the charity cemetery, opened an empty coffin, picked up a lot of straw from the ground, and covered the bottom of the coffin with a thick layer. He said to Ah Qing, "The man inside was injured, so I gave him the bed. I'm sorry that you have to sleep here. It shouldn't be cold with the straw."
Ah Qing has been wandering around since she was a child, sleeping in the open air and everywhere. She said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that? It's good enough to have a place to sleep. It's not cold, so don't take off your coat for me."
Xiao Xingchen touched her head, put away his whisk, put his sword on his back, and walked out the door. For safety reasons, Xiao Xingchen never allowed her to follow him when he went hunting at night. Ah Qing crawled into the coffin and lay there for a while, and suddenly heard Xue Yang calling her from the next room: "Little blind girl, come here."
Ah Qing poked her head out: "What?"
Xue Yang said: "Here's some candy for you."
Ah Qing's tongue felt sour for a while, and she seemed to want to eat candy, but she refused: "No. Not coming!"
Xue Yang threatened sweetly: "You really don't want to eat? You don't want to come because you don't dare to come? But do you think that if you don't come, I will really be unable to move and can't come to find you?"
Ah Qing shuddered when she heard his strange tone of voice. Imagine the scene of that malicious smile suddenly appearing above the coffin, which would be even more terrifying. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the bamboo pole and knocked on it until she reached the door of the dormitory. Before she could open her mouth, a small object suddenly flew towards her.
Wei Wuxian subconsciously tried to dodge, fearing that it was some hidden weapon. Of course, he couldn't control this body. Then, he was startled and realized, "A trap!"
Xue Yang is testing Ah Qing. If he is really blind, he can’t avoid this thing!
Ah Qing was indeed an expert at pretending to be blind for many years. She was also very alert. When she saw the object flying towards her, she did not dodge or evade, and did not even blink, letting it hit her chest. Then she jumped back and shouted angrily, "Hey! What did you throw at me?"
Xue Yang tried unsuccessfully and said, "Here's the candy. Please have some. I forgot you were blind and couldn't catch it. It fell at your feet."
Ah Qing snorted, squatted down, and groped for a while with realistic movements, and found a candy. She had never eaten anything like this before, so she swallowed her throat, wiped it, and put it in her mouth, chewing it happily. Xue Yang lay on his side on the bed, supporting his cheek with one hand, and said, "Is it delicious, little blind man?"
Ah Qing said: "I have a name, I'm not called Little Blind Man."
Xue Yang said: "Since you didn't tell me your name, of course I have no choice but to call you that."
Ah Qing always told her name only to people who were kind to her, but she didn't like Xue Yang calling her that name so harshly, so she could only say, "Listen carefully, my name is Ah Qing. You are not allowed to call me little blind, little blind!" After saying that, she felt that her tone was too harsh, and fearing to anger this person, she immediately changed the subject, "You are such a weird person, covered in blood, with such serious injuries, and yet you still have candy on you."
Xue Yang laughed and said, "When I was a kid, I loved eating candy, but I could never get any. I would always be greedy when I saw others eating them. So I always thought that if I became rich one day, I would definitely carry around a lot of candy with me every day."
Ah Qing just finished the one in her mouth and licked her lips. She was still not satisfied. Her desire for candy overwhelmed her dislike for this person. She asked, "Do you have any more?"
Xue Yang smiled and said, "Of course. Come over here and I'll give it to you."
Ah Qing stood up and walked towards him, tapping the bamboo pole. Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, Xue Yang, with his smile unchanged and a sly look in his eyes, silently drew out a sharp and cold long sword from his sleeve.
Bring disaster.
He pointed the tip of his sword towards Ah Qing. If she took a few more steps forward, she would be stabbed through by Jiang Zai. However, if Ah Qing hesitated even a little, the fact that she was not blind would be exposed!
Wei Wuxian and Ah Qing had five senses connected, and he also felt the real numbness coming from the back of her head. However, the little girl was extremely brave and calm, and she continued to grope forward with a normal look. Sure enough, the tip of the sword was about half an inch in front of her lower abdomen. Xue Yang took the initiative to withdraw his hand, put the disaster-inducing sword back into his sleeve, and replaced it with two candies, one for Ah Qing and one for himself.
He asked, "Ah Qing, where did your Taoist priest go in the middle of the night?"
Ah Qing licked the candy with a crunching sound and said, "It seems like he went hunting."
Xue Yang chuckled: "What hunting? It must be night hunting."
Ah Qing said, "Really? Aren't these two words similar? What's the difference? It means helping people fight ghosts and monsters, and you don't charge any money."
Wei WuXian thought, how smart.
Ah Qing didn't forget at all. She remembered what Xiao Xingchen said more clearly than anyone else. She deliberately mispronounced the word "night hunt", and Xue Yang corrected her, which was equivalent to admitting that he was also a cultivator. Xue Yang's test failed, but she tested him instead. This little girl was so young, but she had so many thoughts.
Xue Yang showed contempt on his face, but his tone was puzzled: "He is blind, can he still hunt at night?"
Ah Qing said angrily, "You're here again. So what if he's blind? The Taoist priest is still very powerful even if he's blind. The sword was swishing, swishing, swishing, swishing, swishing, swishing, swishing, swishing!" She was dancing with joy when Xue Yang suddenly said, "You can't see, how do you know that his sword is fast?"
The attack is fast, and the counterattack is even faster. Ah Qing immediately said arrogantly: "I said fast, so it is fast. The Taoist's sword must be fast! Even if I can't see, can't I hear it? What do you mean by that? Do you look down on blind people like us?" It sounded like a spoiled girl who was flattering her admirer. It was natural.
At this point, after three unsuccessful attempts, Xue Yang's expression finally relaxed. He believed that Ah Qing was really blind.
However, Ah Qing was very wary of Xue Yang. The next day, Xiao Xingchen came back with some wood, thatch and tiles to repair the roof. As soon as he entered the house, she quietly pulled him out and muttered to him for a long time, saying that this man was suspicious. He was obviously traveling with Xiao Xingchen but he hid things. He must not be a good person. However, she may think that the broken little finger is not an important thing, so she did not mention this most fatal feature. Xiao Xingchen comforted her and said, "You have eaten his candy, so don't chase him away. He will leave naturally when his injury is healed. No one is willing to stay in this charity cemetery with us."
This is the truth. There is only one bed in this shabby place. At least it is not windy or rainy. Otherwise, this roof would be very uncomfortable for them. No one wants to stay here. Ah Qing wanted to say something bad about Xue Yang, but a voice suddenly came from behind: "Are you talking about me?"
He actually got off the bed again. Ah Qing didn't feel guilty at all, and said, "Who said that? You are so conceited!" She picked up the bamboo pole and knocked on the door, then hid under the window stealthily and continued to eavesdrop.
Outside the charity cemetery, Xiao Xingchen said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, and you haven't been walking around obediently. Is that okay?"
Xue Yang said: "The more you move around, the faster it will heal. Besides, both legs are not broken. I am used to this level of injury. I was beaten up."
Xiao Xingchen didn't seem to know what to say. Should he comfort him or treat it as a joke? After a pause, he said, "Oh..."
Xue Yang continued, "Master, I see you brought those things back to repair the roof?"
Xiao Xingchen said, "Yes. I should rest here for a while. The roof is broken, which is not good for A-Qing and you to recover."
Xue Yang asked: "You want my help?"
Xiao Xingchen thanked him and said, "No need to bother."
Xue Yang asked: "Master, can you do this?"
Xiao Xingchen smiled and said with shame, shaking his head, "I've never tried this before."
So the two of them began to work together to repair the roof, one doing it and the other giving instructions. Xue Yang was a good speaker, very good at making jokes, and his humor was a bit unbridled and vulgar. Xiao Xingchen probably rarely interacted with people like him in the past, so he laughed after a few words. Ah Qing heard them talking happily, and moved her lips silently. After careful listening, it seemed that she was saying angrily, "I'll beat you to death, you bad guy."
Wei Wuxian and A-Qing have the same feeling.
Xue Yang was seriously injured and almost lost his life. He also had an old grudge against Xiao Xingchen. The two sides were sworn enemies. Now he was probably just wishing that Xiao Xingchen would be torn to pieces and bleed from all seven orifices, but on the surface he could still chat and laugh with him. If the person lying under the window at this moment was the real Wei Wuxian, he would kill Xue Yang first without thinking twice to eliminate the trouble. But this was not his body, and Ah Qing was powerless.
About a month later, Xue Yang's injury was almost healed under Xiao Xingchen's careful care. Except for a slight limp when he walked, he was fine. But he did not mention leaving, and still squeezed in a charity cemetery with the two people, and no one knew what he was thinking.
That day, Xiao Xingchen took care of Ah Qing and was about to go out for a night hunt. Suddenly, Xue Yang's voice came: "Master, how about taking me with you tonight?"
His voice should have recovered a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't use his natural voice and pretended to have another voice. Xiao Xingchen smiled and said, "That won't work. I will laugh as soon as you open your mouth. When I laugh, the sword will be unstable."
Xue Yang said pitifully: "Then I won't say anything. I'll carry your sword and help you. Don't despise me."
He is used to acting cute and talking to older people like a younger brother. Xiao Xingchen seemed to have had younger sisters and brothers when he was a disciple of Baoshan Sanren, so he naturally regarded him as a junior. Knowing that he was also in the same industry, he readily agreed. Wei Wuxian thought to himself, "Xue Yang will definitely not be so kind as to help Xiao Xingchen hunt at night. If Ah Qing doesn't go with him, she will miss something important."
But Ah Qing was indeed a smart person, and she also understood that Xue Yang probably had bad intentions. When the two men left, she also jumped out of the coffin and followed them from a distance. She was afraid of being discovered, so she was too far away. The two men were also very fast, so she lost them after a while. Fortunately, Xiao Xingchen had mentioned before when he was washing vegetables that there was a small village nearby that was infested by zombies, and asked the two not to go out and run around. Ah Qing remembered that place and ran straight to it. Soon she arrived. She crawled into a dog hole under the fence at the entrance of the village, hid behind a house, and poked her head out stealthily.
I don’t know if Ah Qing understood what he saw when he looked over, but Wei Wuxian felt a sudden chill in his heart.
Xue Yang stood on the side of the road with his arms folded, tilting his head and smiling. Xiao Xingchen stood opposite him, calmly drawing his sword, a frosty silver light flashing across, and pierced a villager's heart with one sword.
That villager is a living person.
