Jiajing Spiritual Records

Chapter 112

"What's the matter?" Su Xian frowned slightly, and seeing Ning Huan's flustered expression, he was a little puzzled, and asked, "What are you seeing, you look like you've seen a ghost?"

hell?Ning Huan was also taken aback when he heard the words, logically he shouldn't be flustered by a stranger.But at this moment, his mind was in a state of confusion, and a few images flashed through his mind vaguely disturbing his thoughts, he... what happened to him?Ning Huan closed his eyes, only feeling dizzy: "I..." He hesitated for a while, shook his head, and replied in a low voice, "I just feel unexplainably uncomfortable seeing those people."

"En." Su Xian responded softly, and seemed to reply casually: "Those people are really weird."

Ning Huan was startled, and raised his eyes to look at Su Xian's eyes with a little daze, but he never expected Su Xian to answer like this: "What's so weird?" Ning Huan asked.Su Xian raised his eyebrows, "Didn't see it?" Ning Huan shook his head blankly.

"A few big men have come here at night, and they don't necessarily have a few bags on their backs. There are quite a few guys on their bodies for self-defense. If they are bodyguards and bodyguards, their eyes and positions don't seem to have valuables on them. .It's a bodyguard, but I think it's more like those wanderers in the rivers and lakes."

"A walker?" Ning Huan showed confusion, "Who is that?"

Su Xian snorted and replied: "It's just a group of vicious people who can kill and set fire if they give money." He explained, "Many of them may be fugitives wanted by the court, wandering around all year round without a fixed place, That’s why someone called them walkers.” Su Xian’s eyes darkened suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he was silent for a while and then continued, “I heard that some royal nobles in the capital have raised many such people over the years. Specially sent to do some dirty and shady things.”

Hearing this, Ning Huan stared into those black and white eyes and fell silent. After a long while, he swallowed hard: "Then... then let's be more careful tonight."

"Perhaps, we should not only be careful of them." Su Xian's dark eyes revealed complicated emotions.He frowned slightly, and said in a very low voice, almost close to Ning Huan's ear, "There are strange things in this 'Sheren Town'. If they came here by mistake like us, that's fine. If we came here for this place, then we might be in trouble."

Ning Huan immediately became nervous when he heard the words, he pursed his lips and asked anxiously: "Will... what kind of trouble will it be?"

Su Xian shook his head: "These 'travelers' always ask for a lot of money, and it's probably not an ordinary thing to get them to sell." Su Xian lowered his eyes, seeing that Ning Huan was looking at him in astonishment, and was speechless. "Are you scared?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, looking at Ning Huan's dark eyes in a funny way, and snorted lightly, "Why are you so promising?"

"I didn't." Ning Huan raised his eyelids and retorted in a low voice as if he lacked confidence.

Su Xian squeezed Ning Huan's face, he narrowed his eyes and asked back: "Then I'm here, what do you have to worry about?"

"I..." Ning Huan paused, for a moment he couldn't figure out where the uneasiness and confusion in his heart came from, his slender eyelashes trembled, and he shook his head for a while.

Su Xian leaned down slightly, dropped a kiss on Ning Huan's bulging cheek with his lips, and tapped Ning Huan's nose with his fingertips.He softly "tsk": "Why, does that mean you don't believe your husband-in-law?"

"Bah!" Hearing this, Ning Huan raised his eyes and glanced at Su Xian with disgust, he spat, "Speak well, you can't tell who is who, don't always try to take advantage of me when I'm not paying attention."

"I took advantage of you?" Suxian hugged his chest, cast a sideways glance at Ning Huan, and asked with a mocking smile, "Then who was the one who secretly kissed me while I was asleep last night?" who?"

Ning Huan was taken aback, he didn't know what to think of, his ears turned red with embarrassment, Ning Huan stiffened his neck, and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway...it's not me anyway."

"Tsk, that should be a puppy." The smile on Su Xian's lips remained undiminished, and he shook his head self-consciously, "Speaking of which, I still left a mouthful of spit on my face."

Ning Huan bared his teeth: "Then since you were awake last night, I...why didn't you answer me when I called you?"

Su Xian squinted at Ning Huan, and coldly snorted casually: "Do you think I don't know why you called me? Don't you just want me to punish you for copying those books that Mr. Bai Ri left you?" Su Xian Xian shook his head, and looked at Ning Huan quite disgustedly: "Didn't you say that you should study hard, let me learn from those good wives, and don't bother you if you have nothing to do?"

"I...I...Isn't it because you kept disturbing me during the day that I didn't finish copying it! No—so you pretended to be asleep?" Ning Huan was annoyed, and hummed, "You pretended to be asleep at night Aren't you afraid that I'll pee on you?"

"Heh." Su Xian looked at Ning Huan jokingly, with a nasty smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then you will really be a real puppy Ning."

"Humph!"

"Ning puppy."

"Suxian, you're enough, don't force me—" Unknowingly, the conversation between the two has gone to nowhere...

There was a musty smell in the air, and the old wooden steps were creaking and panting loudly. The two of them followed the innkeeper's instructions and turned left into the fifth wing.The white candle flickers on and off at night, illuminating the mildew spots on the wall like ink stains left on rice paper, and the waxy candle tears silently condense on the table.At this time, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the house, it should be the group of people downstairs coming upstairs.

"Aren't you sleeping yet?" Su Xian lay on the bed with his clothes on, his wrists half resting on his forehead, and his wet quilt was kicked aside by him. He half-closed his eyes and lazily looked at the sad-looking Ning Huan said.

"But I still feel that something is wrong." Sitting at the table, Ning Huanwei whispered preoccupiedly.Ning Huan frowned, and after being silent for a long time, he raised his head, looked at Su Xian with a little blankness in his eyes, and said, "I always feel that I have met all the things that are happening now as if I have met them in a dream."

"In a dream?" Su Xian was puzzled, but he didn't look into the depths, he only thought that this place was weird, which made Ning Huan worry too much.He comforted him: "After tonight, we'll leave early tomorrow morning." He wrapped his quilt and stretched his arms in Ning Huan's direction, "Okay, don't think about it, turn off the light Go to sleep, if it doesn't help, I'll be wronged and sleep with you in my arms."

"Who wants to sleep with you? I haven't disliked you yet! But I beg you to show some face." Ning Huan was startled, and then cursed back.Even so, he blew out the candle with a "huchi" and walked towards the bed.

The room was plunged into darkness, and the bright moonlight was pouring in through the window sills, and the mottled halo was connected together, making people feel a sense of trance and unreality.Ning Huan turned his eyes and looked at Su Xian's peaceful sleeping face, his heart tightened.

"Su Xian." Ning Huan's voice trembled slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Do you still remember how we got together back then?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Su Xian's hoarse voice sounded from the darkness, as if he was patiently answering Ning Huan out of sleepiness.

"I..." Ning Huan's eyes flickered for a moment, he sat stiffly with his back straight, but his hand stretched out to Su Xian, and lightly touched his face, it was hot.Ning Huan let out a breath of turbid breath slowly, and the fear in his heart was gradually calmed down. Fortunately, everything in front of him was not an illusion.

Su Xian couldn't wait for a response, so he slowly turned around.He propped his head, and stared at Ning Huan with his handsome face for a long time. After a long time, a narrow smile appeared in his eyes, and he replied lazily: "It goes without saying, of course you chased me."

Ning Huan was taken aback: "Why did you become the one I was chasing after?"

"Isn't it? Didn't you want to be my daughter-in-law after chasing me back then?" Suxian smiled, "But I said it right back then, even the stars in the sky will be picked for me." , look now, the man's mouth is indeed a deceitful ghost. Ning Xiaogou."

Seeing Ning Huan staring at him blankly with black and white eyes, Su Xian laughed out loud.He circled his arms and hugged him into his arms, "Tsk, the one who lied to you is naturally the young master Ning Huan I like first." He rested his chin on Ning Huan's head and patted Ning Huan's back, "Okay Come on, little dog Ning, go to bed early, and have to go on the road tomorrow morning."

"Suxian, just now you were that madam who really missed Yichunyuan." Ning Huan blinked in the dark, and commented belatedly.

"I thought I could at least be the top card in Yichun Garden." Su Xian closed his eyes sleepily, and replied perfunctorily.

"Hey—you can't." Ning Huan arched his body in Su Xian's arms, and said solemnly, "You, you have a bad temper, and you will drive away the guests."

"Ning Huan."

"Ok?"

"If you don't sleep anymore, I'll throw you out."

……

Looking at Su Xian's face, Ning Huan slowly closed his eyes, counting Su Xian's breaths and fell asleep in a daze.In a daze, he stood in front of a dilapidated wine shop, "Ask Xianlou?" Ning Huan frowned, and whispered the three characters on the plaque.For some reason, the scene in the dream was particularly familiar, as if he had been here before, Ning Huan hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

"Since you're here, let's sit down and continue listening." The guest beside him said suddenly, he sipped the tea in his cup slowly, but he didn't look in Ning Huan's direction.

Ning Huan was slightly startled, and licked Interfering's lips, thinking that since it was just a dream, he sat down on the empty seat beside the guest.The storyteller in a plain white coat on the stage was speaking enthusiastically, and the story seemed to have reached a certain stage.

"The wife and the girl stayed in the inn and waited. It didn't take long before the people who went out hurried back. The wife was able to get up at this time, and she rushed out to greet her, but she didn't find her husband in the crowd. , so she found someone to ask where her husband had gone."

"Those people were panting, and said that they met a group of monsters before they went out for a long time. The people in the town were all transformed by these terrifying monsters. The human face and snake body are really scary. The young master was dragged away by those monsters, and the wife Da Jing hurriedly got up and wanted to go out to find her husband, but was stopped by the people around. Everyone persuaded the young master that he could not be saved, so why not leave this strange town with his new wife while the monsters outside are gone."

"My wife was heartbroken, but she unintentionally took a look at it under the moonlight, and suddenly she was frightened into a cold sweat. The figures on the ground were not human, but a group of twisted and strange snake shadows."

"Besides, after the husband came to the town, he was indeed separated from the five people. He thought of his wife who was seriously ill, and hurried back to the inn, but at this moment, he found that her wife was missing. There was no trace of struggle on the ground, It’s just that he searched for a while and found that there was a code mark left by his wife on the ground, his heart tightened, and he guessed that his wife was in deep trouble, so he resolutely searched for the mark and walked.”

"Ning Huan, Ning Huan?" Someone beside him gently pushed him.

Ning Huan opened his eyes in a daze, but he was facing Shang Su Xian's eyes full of worry. "What's wrong?" Ning Huan asked, his voice hoarse and cracked.

"You have a fever." Su Xian touched Ning Huan's hot forehead, and tightened the quilt for him.Su Xian turned over and got off the bed, and said solemnly: "I'll ask the shopkeeper if there is a doctor in this town, and then I'll bring you a basin of hot water, and I'll be back in a while."

Am I sick?Ning Huan stared blankly at the bed curtain above his head, he struggled to get up, but the top-heavy feeling of powerlessness made him lie back down again, Ning Huan silently closed his eyes.After an unknown amount of time, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and there was a rush of footsteps beside him, "Ning Huan, wake up." Ning Huan opened his eyes and looked at Su Xian in a daze.

"Something is wrong." Su Xian said, "Everyone in the town has disappeared."
