【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Wei Yanei imagined the following scene in the old thief's mouth, and immediately felt hairy.

Xiao Jing murmured: "The village head and the old woman seem to be quite old, but they are still so good at it."

Zhao Jian folded his arms in front of his chest: "The Puppet Art Troupe collects all the monsters from the mountains, and there are not a few people with good skills. Attaching to the roof and wall is a housekeeping skill for them, and it is not difficult."

Yuan Zhongxin threw the wicker in his hand, a gust of hot wind hit, and rolled the light and swaying wicker towards Wang Kuan. Wang Kuan was quick-eyed, stretched out his hand to catch it, and twirled it between them to see, only to see that the tail of the wicker had been captured by Yuan Zhong Xin tore into flakes.

Yuan Zhongxin got up and stretched: "Have you finished solving the doubts?"

Zhao Jian glared at him: "I haven't asked you yet, how did you come up with such a thing?"

It was only three days since they left the secret pavilion, but Yuan Zhongxin guessed their itinerary so accurately, everyone was amazed at Yuan Zhongxin's ingenious calculation.

Yuan Zhongxin said nonchalantly: "I just asked the old thief to send someone here to guard you in advance. This inn is the only way to go to Qinghe Town. As long as you are not stupid, you can always guess it."

Wang Kuan asked him with a smile: "The so-called haunting in the village is also guessed?"

The hatred in Yuan Zhongxin's heart: "...Wang Kuan, let's break up the relationship for a moment."

The latter shook his head and said leisurely: "That's not okay."

The old thief asked Yuan Zhongxin: "What are your plans now? Do you want to go back to Kaifeng with us?" Qinghe Town is a task assigned by Lu Guannian to Seventh Zhai, but the old thief and his rogues don't want to participate.

The air became inexplicably tense, and everyone looked at Yuan Zhongxin, hoping that he would stay. Among the six people, Yuan Zhongxin was the one who was most familiar with Qinghe Town. If he left, this mission would be important to them. Undoubtedly, it is carbon from the fire.

Yuan Zhongxin lowered his eyes silently, staring at his toes in a daze, and after a while, he said suddenly: "Old thief, get the carriage ready."

The old thief was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to leave, so he turned around and got the carriage ready.

Wei Yanei shouted in disappointment: "Yuan Zhongxin, you want to go? You have come here, don't you come with us?!" Wei Yanei was originally timid, and finally looked forward to Yuan Zhongxin. Back to Kaifeng.

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows: "I'm hurt."

He was injured, and Lu Guannian had expressly allowed him not to take part in this mission, and the five of them knew about it.

Wang Kuan's bright eyes just dimmed. Listening to his cold tone, Wang Kuan felt that Yuan Zhongxin seemed to be angry again. He just wanted to approach and ask Yuan Zhongxin to take a good rest and take medicine on time after returning, but Yuan Zhongxin was already He raised his foot and walked towards the old thief's carriage.

Wang Kuan watched his figure get into the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage blocked his sight. Wang Kuan pursed his lips, and his heart was lost for a moment.

However, in the next second, Yuan Zhongxin jumped down again, with an extra bag on his body.

Everyone looked at him dumbfounded.

Yuan Zhongxin tilted his head and looked at the dumbfounded five people, and joked with a smile: "Why, I'm not allowed to get in the car and get a bag?"

Wei Yanei slapped Yuan Zhongxin's left shoulder, causing Yuan Zhongxin to almost jump up in pain. He asked in surprise and surprise, "Didn't you say you were injured?"

Yuan Zhongxin grinned and said, "I'm hurt, you still treat me like this?!"

Wang Kuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately went to check Yuan Zhongxin's wound, and found that there was nothing serious, he sighed helplessly: "Wei Yanei, if your palm is a little bit off, Yuan Zhongxin will probably be real. Gotta go back."

Wei Yanei smiled and touched Yuan Zhongxin's shoulder: "Hahaha, don't worry about Yuan Zhongxin, I'm not, happy, hehehe."

Yuan Zhongxin patted Wei Yanei's hand away angrily: "Okay, now there are only six of us left in this ghost place, and everything that happens next can only be resolved by ourselves - first decide what we will do next." What to do." Then, he changed the subject and pointed at Wei Yanei: "Chief Zhai, what do you think we should do next?"

Wei Yanei pointed at himself uncertainly, swallowed and said, "Are you asking me?"

Yuan Zhongxin spread his hands and blinked: "Is there a second head of the fast here?"

Wei Ya Nei looked around, when the gang of old thieves were still there, the place was a bit lively, but now they have all left, and the deserted and abandoned village is not far from them, it was hard The strange silence that was driven away gradually gathered together.

Wei Yanei shook Yuan Zhongxin's arm with both hands, and said in a sad tone, "Yuan Zhongxin, brother Yuan, why don't you take over as the head of the house for now, and everything here is under your orders?"

Zhao Jian, Xue Ying and Xiaojing gave Wei Yanei a contemptuous look, this is promising, bah!

Yuan Zhongxin twisted the chain, with a half-smile: "I'm the head of the fast?"

"Correct!"

"Everything follows my orders?"

"necessary!"

"Okay, then I will wrong and wrong myself for the time being, and help you."

Wei Yanei's emotions were high: "Master, if you have any orders, just give them!"

"First order, enter town!"

"Okay... what?!" Wei Yanei's high-pitched voice made a 180-degree turn, and the voice broke into a thorn.

An hour later, the six of them went upstream along the waterway and arrived at the entrance of Qinghe Town. Yuan Zhongxin asked everyone to rest first, and set off after a while.

They are now in a deserted forest, the surroundings are lifeless, and there is no trace of human habitation. Although it is still early, the deep forest is dark, and the sunlight is difficult to penetrate, adding a weird and gloomy atmosphere.

Yuan Zhongxin was standing under a towering tree, looking ahead, Wang Kuan walked over to join him, following Yuan Zhongxin's line of sight, it was a deserted cultivated land.

Wang Kuan looked up at the sky, and asked, "Are we really going to enter town tonight?"

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were filled with mist, and his expression was unclear: "If you don't enter the town, if you stay in this wild forest, accidents will easily happen-although I know some things about Qinghe Town, I am not very familiar with the terrain here. After entering the town Go to the hill on the right, there is a wooden house, where you can sleep overnight."

One of the old thief's subordinates was a rogue, who was quick and alert. When Yuan Zhongxin and the others were tied up, he followed the road all the way to the entrance of Qinghe Town. Walking along the mountain road on the right side, he drew a simple map and handed it to Yuan Zhongxin.

However, this map only draws half of the small mountain road on the right, and the rest is blank.

Wang Kuan glanced around the entrance of the town, feeling something was wrong, the normal entrance of the town was guarded by people, but there was nothing here, not even a single person, only a crumbling plaque that read "Qinghe Township "Three words.

Yuan Zhongxin turned around and said to the four people who were sitting on the ground resting: "Let's go, we can't stay in this woods overnight, it's too dangerous."

The six people set off again, followed Yuan Zhongxin into the entrance of the town, went up the mountain to the right, and after about a stick of incense, the wooden house that Yuan Zhongxin was talking about appeared in front of everyone. There was nothing inside, not too big or small, Just enough for the six of us to rest together.

After entering the wooden house, the first thing Yuan Zhongxin did was to collect firewood and make a fire. There was a tattered paper window in the wooden house with several holes. Everyone sitting in the wooden house could see the area outside the house when they raised their eyes. Weedy wasteland.

Inside the wooden house, the six people who were eating dry food were discussing things with their heads buried in their heads.

Yuan Zhongxin swallowed a mouthful of dry pancakes: "We don't know the situation here, so we can't be careless. Tonight we four boys take turns to watch the night. We must keep an eye out for any abnormalities that happen here. If there is nothing wrong, don't be careless. When you leave the wooden house, you have to do everything together, if a girl wants to go out, it's best to ask one of us to accompany her, is it clear?"

The remaining five nodded.

Zhao Jian originally wanted to watch the night with Yuan Zhongxin and the others, but Yuan Zhongxin refused, and only let her and Xiaojing have a good rest, leaving other things alone.

The sky was getting dark, and suddenly, a burst of thunder came, and the weather with a thunderbolt on a blue sky was beyond their expectation.

Immediately afterwards, it rained heavily, and the rain kept falling from the dilapidated paper window. In order to prevent the rain from extinguishing the fire, Yuan Zhongxin took out his clothes and blocked the window.

It was already night outside, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The light from the firewood inside the wooden house was almost covered by the downpour. Looking from a distance, the light of the fire was faint, like a layer of fog.

At this time, Wei Yanei and the others had already fallen asleep, only Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan were left awake, and they started the first round of vigil.

Yuan Zhongxin crossed his arms in front of his chest, and leaned against Wang Kuan who was sitting upright. He stared out the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, while Wang Kuan quietly stared at the fire in front of him, and added light at the right time. some firewood.

After a long time, Wang Kuan asked aloud, "Is your injury okay?"

Yuan Zhongxin replied lazily: "It's not that exaggerated. The medicine Xiaojing cooked is very effective. I'm almost recovered. Don't worry."

Wang Kuan's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. Now he is in a place full of unknown dangers, but he doesn't feel nervous. The anxiety he felt when he came out of the secret pavilion has turned into peace at this moment. Wang Kuan never lied. It was Yuan Zhongxin's appearance that gave him the deepest stability and relief in his heart.

Suddenly, Wang Kuan's eyes shifted to the wall, and then he froze. There was the shadow of him and Yuan Zhongxin leaning close together. The trembling firelight melted away the coldness of the two people on weekdays - they seemed to be born like this rely on each other.

As if they were born, heaven, earth and earth gave them a chance to meet, get acquainted and trust each other.

Suddenly, something quietly took root in Wang Kuan's heart, and the warmth of the fire made it break out of the ground, and Wang Kuan couldn't hold it back.

Yuan Zhongxin was in a daze when a deep voice rang in his ears:

"Zhongxin."

Yuan Zhongxin raised his head slightly, and responded in a nasal voice: "Huh?"

Wang Kuan: "..."

Yuan Zhongxin didn't hear clearly, he looked puzzled: "What did you say?"

Wang Kuan lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth smiled like flowers blooming in the empty valley. Just now he said, Yuan Zhongxin, the sky and the earth are big, why did I meet you?
