I am not a villain reborn

Chapter 23

Facing the cold wind in the early morning, the carriage stopped outside Youzhou City. The morning sun opened the curtain and entered the carriage. The carriage was gorgeous in appearance and spacious and comfortable inside. The sitting place was padded with black cotton cushions, with There is a small wooden table, and a small incense burner on the wooden table faintly emits light smoke, carrying a faint lotus fragrance.

Ling Yunxiao was sitting on the right side of the carriage. He walked up to Ling Yunxiao and sat down beside him, only to see him meditating with his eyes closed. side.

Chen Xi put her hands on the wooden table and looked at Ling Yunxiao, thinking: "I have to say, this elder brother has been separated for so many years, and his personality has become a bit cold, but his appearance has not changed much, just like when they first met. It was as amazing as it was.”

Ling Yunxiao, who was meditating by the side, noticed Chen Xi's gaze, and said in a cold voice with some discomfort: "If you look again, just keep your eyes.

Chen Xi looked at Ling Yunxiao with a look of embarrassment: "Did Senior Brother actually fall in love with my eyes?"

Ling Yun said puzzledly: "He probably meant to tell you not to look at him!"

Ling Yunxiao opened his eyes coldly and said, "Shut up."

Ling Yun couldn't help thinking: "It's really hard to guess what this lunatic is thinking. He looks different every day. If I hadn't seen him in Feiyu City before, I would never have thought that this is the same person."

Due to the intimidating power of Ling Yunxiao's words, the three of them were quite quiet during this section of the journey. The driver shouted outside: "The young masters will probably be there in half a cup of tea."

When Ling Yun heard that he was about to get out of the car, a bit of excitement flashed across his already marinated face.

Although this city is not as prosperous as Youzhou, it is still prosperous. The driver outside has already parked his car in front of the inn. The strange thing is that the inn has closed early, and what is even more strange is that in this dark At night, thousands of households in this city did not see any lights on. It seemed like a dead city. Ling Yun got out of the car behind Chen Xi and asked strangely: "What's the matter with the people in this place? They don't like to light up lights at night." ?"

The coachman also scratched his head in doubt and said: "I remember that I came here a while ago, and it doesn't seem to be like this!"

Chen Xi looked at the black air billowing in the sky and fell into deep thought.

This demon world has been sealed, and those remaining monsters should have hidden their whereabouts. Why is there such a strong demonic energy here, and there is some familiar smell in this demonic energy.

He raised his head and saw Ling Yunxiao looking at him expressionlessly, he smiled back, turned to the driver and said, "Go and knock on the door first!"

The coachman nodded and knocked on the door. After about half a cup of tea, the door opened from the inside. A thin middle-aged man dressed in green and gold embroidered pattern opened the door with an oil lamp and asked, "Who? What's the matter?"

The coachman said with a smile on his face: "We are on our way, passing by here, it is getting late, so we come to stay overnight."

The middle-aged man glanced at a few people and saw that they were men, so he opened the door to let people in. The coachman smiled at Chen Xi and said, "My lord, I'll go and park the carriage first."

Chen Xi nodded, and several people followed the middle-aged man into the inn. In the inn, there was only an oil lamp on the empty table in the middle to illuminate the surroundings. The surrounding tables and chairs were old and peeled off. A picture of Guanyin in the inn is still brand new, as if it has just been hung up.

Ling Yun asked with a smile: "Excuse me, is there still food to eat?"

The middle-aged man thought for a while, lit a few oil lamps on the pillars in the center of the living room, and then said, "Wait a while, I'll help you cook some simple dishes!"

Ling Yunxiao reminded coldly: "Don't go out and run around at night."

"why?"

Chen Xi poured a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It is true that there are strange things in this city."

The guest official dishes came, at this time the middle-aged man's voice came, interrupting the conversation of several people, the coachman also came in from the door, the coachman patted the ashes on his body and kicked the mud on his feet in front of the door , and then sat down at the table, the middle-aged man saw everyone coming in, so he ran over nervously and closed the door.

"What happened here? Chen Xi asked curiously after seeing the frightened look of the middle-aged man after eating a few mouthfuls of food.

The middle-aged man patted his chest, sat down at the table, and then said: "You don't know that in this desolate city, since when, young people often die inexplicably, and the way of death is very strange. Even though it was late autumn, those boys were all frozen to death. The old people in the city said it was because the snow girl in the snowy mountains to the west woke up and was going to suck the souls of boys to become spirits! Now everyone in this desolate city is Every household closes their doors early at night, and dare not turn on the lights, for fear that their own children will be eaten by that Snow Maiden."

Hearing the words, the coachman shook his hands, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, which was especially harsh in this silent night, causing Ling Yun to tremble all over, and Ling Yun asked angrily: "Uncle! What are you doing! "

The coachman said with tears in his eyes: "This is too pitiful! I also have children in my family, how sad those parents should be when something like this happens! And the monster will not eat adults!"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "I should not eat it, but seeing that you are so sympathetic, brother, do you mind getting to know each other?"

The coachman wiped away his tears and said, "I don't mind. My name is Li Feng. May I ask you your name?"

The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Miangui, my name is Peng Chen, and I am the owner of this inn. Next time my brother comes to this desolate city, I will entertain you for free."

The coachman nodded and said, "It seems that brother Peng is also a lover."

Holding the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, Chen Xi stared blankly at the development of the two and thought to herself: "You are just playing tricks, is it really okay to steal the show like this?"

Ling Yun was obviously stunned by their actions, and couldn't help reminding: "Shouldn't I be the one who should be concerned now? I'm a child! Is it really okay for the two of you to discuss whether to eat adults in front of me? ? You are safe, what about me!"

The coachman took a look at Ling Yun, and said with disgust: "If Xue Nu wants to eat, she will eat fat children. If you are as thin as you, you probably won't have enough space between your teeth."

"No! Brother Feng, I heard that a little beggar on the side of the road was also eaten a few days ago. From this point of view, the monster was also randomly selected, Peng Chen retorted.

Ling Yunxiao frowned and interrupted the two of them and asked: "Is there anything strange in the city on the day this happened?"

Boss Peng thought silently for a while, then patted the table and said, "I remembered, the sunset glow that day was extraordinarily red, like blood, and since that day, strange things have happened in the city one after another."

The blood-red sunset, could it be that thing here? If it was that thing, it would not be surprising that there is such a strong demonic energy in the city.

Ling Yun pushed Chen Xi and asked, "Brother! What are you thinking?"

Chen Xi recovered and glanced at Ling Yun and said, "I'm thinking we may have to stay here for a few more days."

Ling Yunxiao was silent for a while and said: "We can't leave until the matter is over."

As soon as Ling Yun heard this, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and said with a bitter face: "Farewell! That snow girl eats children!"

Chen Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you scared?"

Ling Yun smiled sheepishly and said: "No! I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that you will be in danger, so we should leave this place early."

Chen Xi said calmly, "I'm not worried."

"Eldest brother will protect me, right?" Chen Xi looked at Ling Yunxiao and said.

Hearing this, Ling Yunxiao paused with the chopsticks in his hands, looked at him and said, "I won't! Those monsters are your accomplices and won't hurt you."

Chen Xi couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Even if I have entered the way of the devil, it is a different concept from the devil world."

Seeing that the two were so persistent, Ling Yun winked at the coachman and said, "But what about Uncle Li! He should be afraid too! What do you think, Uncle Li?"

Li Feng looked at Ling Yun blankly and said: "Young master, do you have cramps in your eyes? If you are not afraid, then naturally I, an adult, will not be afraid."

There was a smile on Ling Yun's face, but tears flowed in his heart. Thousands of words could only be turned into one sentence: Just be happy. "

He thought helplessly, if Lu Qianyu was here at this time, he would definitely not leave him alone, but he left at this time, and now he has only two options left, one is to find a face that is as cold as ice, and one look Ling Yunxiao, who could freeze him to death, or Chen Xi, who was extremely mentally unstable, the former might have been beaten to death before he even entered his door, so he could only choose the latter.

Just when everyone was going back to the room to rest, Chen Xi took off her coat and was about to rest in bed, when there was a knock on the door, Chen Xi chuckled lightly, and walked towards the door, there was a man in a loose coat standing outside. Chen Xi looked at the hair-haired Ling Yun and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter with you?"

Ling Yun rubbed the corner of his clothes and mustered up the courage to say: "Brother! I...I, I am worried about you so I want to sleep with you."

"Don't worry, you can go to sleep! After Chen Xi finished speaking, she wanted to close the door.

"Ah... wait, brother, Ling Yun opened the door and said.

Chen Xi asked suspiciously: "Is there anything else?"

Ling Yun knew that if he didn't speak out, Chen Xi probably wouldn't agree to him, so he blushed and said, "Brother, I'm actually very scared, so I want to sleep with you."

Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "But I'm not used to sleeping with others."

Ling Yun said pitifully and coquettishly: "Brother, I promise, during this time in Desolate City, I will definitely make myself braver in the future."

When Chen Xi heard his words, she stopped teasing him, opened the door and said, "Bring your bed sheet and back, and sleep on the floor by yourself."

As soon as Ling Yun heard that Chen Xi agreed, he happily ran back to his room to tidy up, and while tidying up, he spurned himself: "It's really immoral, even used it to act like a baby."

He thought about his acting like a baby just now, and couldn't help shivering, thinking that he was too immoral, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart.
