Chapter 47 Weakness and Gentleness

The sound of rain falling on the wooden roof was a rattling sound. Since they came here, the rain has become less and less, and there are even signs of slowing down.

Several anchors have compressed biscuits and jerky, and three packs of instant noodles.

There was nothing to boil water, so they were worrying about how to cook noodles. Fortunately, someone rummaged through the bag and found a small kettle.

The kettle is really small, and when it is filled with water, it is estimated that it can make a cup of tea.

But in order to eat a hot bite, they showed amazing patience. First, Ye Feng lit the fire with the talisman paper, and then a few of them gathered around and slowly boiled the water.

The instant noodles were cooked like this, a little undercooked, but as soon as the seasoning was added, the fragrance came out immediately, causing everyone to drool and their eyes to turn green. Someone else put beef jerky in it, and it looked surprisingly good.

It's just that three packs of noodles have to be distributed to nine people, and each person can only get a little.

Red clothes waited for the noodles to be cooked, and originally wanted to find Lu Yingjiu and asked him to rush over to eat while it was hot.

But Lu Yingjiu smiled and said, "I don't need it, you can eat."

He added: "Leave my share to your friends."

He pointed to his friend in red that friend was the one bitten by a spider before, and he still had a high fever. If it wasn't for Lu Yingjiu's talisman to press down, making him much better, he would definitely not be able to keep up with this mountain road.

Now the man is resting in the log cabin.

Tomorrow's journey, he should also be able to persevere.

"Ah, how embarrassing you are." Hongyi immediately became anxious, "I didn't have time to repay you for saving people. Now that you are busy all the way, if it weren't for you, we would have..."

"It's okay." Lu Yingjiu interrupted him, "I still have something to eat. Don't worry, I'm the main force here, and I'm not stupid enough to make me hungry."

After hearing the words, Red Clothes was relieved, thanked him again and again, and then went back to continue dividing the noodles.

Lu Yingjiu didn't lie.

At this time, he will not hide his needs, and he will say what he wants, what he needs to eat and drink: if he fails to maintain a good state and encounters some other situation, this group of people is really finished.

It's just that he was almost full just by eating the snacks that Jingxian fed him along the way, and the calories of those snacks would only be more or less, absolutely enough.

As a result, as soon as the red clothes left, Ye Feng came over and handed him a cup of hot water.

Lu Yingjiu took it and said, "Today, Jingxian and I will keep a vigil. You and Little Li go to rest."

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Ye Feng asked.

"Sleep." Lu Yingjiu said, glancing at Jingxian, "but you can see how good he is, you can let him stay for a while."

"Oh that's fine." Ye Feng also glanced at Jingxian, feeling that this man never seemed to be tired, and his energy was exceptionally strong, "You two should also pay attention to rest, if you can't stand it, ask me to change."

Lu Yingjiu nodded.

But Ye Feng stood in front of him and didn't move or speak for a long time.

He waited for a long time before he heard Ye Feng hesitate: "Hey..."

"What's wrong?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

Ye Feng hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth and said, "No matter what happened, no matter what happened to those photos, my friendship with you is definitely not a conspiracy."

Lu Yingjiu couldn't help laughing: "Well, I know."

Ye Feng was relieved a lot.

He added, "Do you want me to ask the elders in the family what's going on? They might know something."

"No." Lu Yingjiu said, "No need for the time being, wait for me to think about it first."

"Oh..." Ye Feng scratched his head, "To be honest, I'm almost in a mess now. In short, if you need me to do anything, tell me right away. I will definitely help you figure out the truth!"

Lu Yingjiu responded with a smile.

Ye Feng went to eat.

And he held the hot water and went to the edge of the mountain lake.

Jing Xian sat under an old tree by the lake.

Lu Yingjiu didn't know what kind of tree it was, but he felt that its branches were strong and the leaves were extremely lush, revealing the calmness of the long years. Even this sudden gust of wind could not destroy its branches.

The raindrops hit the lake, and soft ripples spread out in circles. The water plants floated, and various fishes shuttled through them. Occasionally, they would float, opening and closing their mouths to spit out a series of bubbles, and then they disappeared with a flick of their tails.

Lu Yingjiu walked up to him and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"

Jing Xian turned his head and smiled and said, "Isn't this looking for a corner where no one is around?"

He made room for Lu Yingjiu.

Lu Yingjiu sat down beside him.

As soon as he sat down, he had a large thermos cup in his hand. When he opened it, the aroma of the noodles came to his face, only to see that the noodles were lined with barbecued pork and braised beef, a few green vegetables, and a soft-hearted egg in the center, with smooth and delicate egg whites.

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment.

He had given up asking how he got these things. Anyway, there were all kinds of strange things in Jingxian's bag.

He just smiled and said, "What is this, a small stove that was secretly opened for me?"

"Of course." Jing Xian's face was full of invitations and rewards, "You haven't eaten well all day, I feel bad."

Lu Yingjiu was not very hungry.

His first reaction was actually to think about sharing this side with others, just like the snacks and hot tea he distributed along the way.

but……

Lu Yingjiu looked back, the wooden house was full of light, those people were drinking noodle soup, eating compressed biscuits and beef jerky—the beef jerky was really gnawing, as hard as a rock, and they gritted their teeth. But anyway, this meal must be enough.

Looking back, Jing Xian was looking at him intently.

Lu Yingjiu knew that Jingxian didn't care about those people at all.

Jingxian's tender heart is always revealed to him alone. Even as long as he is willing to say a word, Jingxian can take him directly out of this mountain, where would he care about the lives of others?

He does not try to correct the concept of Jingxian.

The concept of ghosts is like this, there is no right or wrong.

"Have a taste." Jing Xian urged.

Lu Yingjiu couldn't help laughing when she saw his look full of anticipation.

He no longer bothered about anything, picked up a chopstick noodles, blew it lightly and put it in his mouth, every taste bud rejoiced in the delicious soup.

He didn't feel hungry at first, but now he has an appetite, and he ate several mouthfuls one after another.

Jingxian sat quietly beside him, not knowing what to think.

After a while, when Lu Yingjiu was almost done eating, he asked, "What did you see in the wooden house? How come you were absent-minded after you came out."

Lu Yingjiu consciously did not appear unusual on the surface.

But when Jingxian saw it, he was not surprised.

He took another sip of the noodle soup, and after clarifying his thoughts, he told Jingxian about the iron box and the photos.

Jingxian listened carefully and asked, "So, what do you think?"

This time, Lu Yingjiu gave a rare self-deprecating smile: "Ever since I read the text messages sent by Mrs. Chen before she died, I've been thinking about how many people know about 'the hour has come'."

He continued: "However, since even Chen Zheng doesn't know, I'm afraid no one in the entire Chen family knows about it. I contacted some contacts later, and tried to inquire about the situation from the rest of the Chen family, but it turned out to be no results."

"What I didn't expect was that besides Chen Minlan, there were other aristocratic families involved. Now it seems that maybe both the Ye family and the Zhang family are connected."

He sighed softly: "There are four great families in exorcism, and the rest of the Chu family, it is hard for me not to suspect that there are also participants."

A gust of wind blew, and the trees rustled, as if whispering. A leaf fell with the wind and floated onto Lu Yingjiu's black hair.

Jing Xian stretched out his hand and gently helped him take it off.

Lu Yingjiu said: "I have always had a very high trust in the family."

"Although they have more or less black histories, such as the human skin masks of the Chen family, or the drugs that the Ye family has abused, in general, from the time I started contacting them, their performance was quite positive. "Many of my friends from aristocratic families are never proud of themselves, and they are also very upright and brave."

"However, that doesn't seem to be the case now."

"At least the older generation made me suspicious."

Lu Yingjiu took a sip of water and looked at the lake.

The rain is really about to stop, and there are only little ripples on the water. Farther away, the place where the talisman fire could not be illuminated was pitch black, and only the towering mountains could be vaguely seen.

The road ahead is long, and that is their journey tomorrow.

After an unknown amount of time, he continued: "If the family had paid attention to me since I was a child, then they must have known what happened to me, including my natural bad luck, and my natural tendency to hit ghosts."

"Why didn't they help? Is there a conspiracy? Or is this what they want to see?"

"I was thinking, is it possible that these have something to do with them. After all, according to my birth date and fate, I shouldn't have this kind of constitution."

"Assuming the worst, my family has never been in contact with exorcism. If my bad luck was 'grafted' from someone else, they wouldn't be able to detect it."

Lu Yingjiu closed his eyes: "If this is the case, I can't imagine what kind of mentality they have when they see me grow up safely, learn to exorcise ghosts step by step, and then become the chief of the Blue Lantern Festival. to me."

"If that's the case...they just make me sick."

The rest of the noodle soup was placed on the side, and it was completely cold, with only a few green chopped green onions floating.

The group of anchors behind them finished their meal, and they were all satisfied and went back to the wooden house to rest. A little light came, illuminating the long night.

Quiet around.

The rain stopped completely, the wind blew, and the lake was rippling with tiny ripples.

Jing Xian gently held his hand.

He said, "I don't know anything about the family. I can only assure you that with me, you will be fine."

"...Well." Lu Yingjiu responded.

He closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, and let the moist breath fill his lungs.

After the rain, the air in the mountains is slightly cool, mixed with the fresh smell of grass and trees.

When he opened his eyes again, he had restrained all his emotions, no anxiety, anxiety, confusion... The muscles on his face relaxed, and he returned to his usual Lu Yingjiu.

He is always so restrained, almost compulsively asking himself, keeping a cool head all the time, suppressing his personal emotions, and doing everything perfectly.

Now is not the time to be emotional.

He still wants to take this group of people out of the mountains safely. It is best to find clues to the spider mother and eradicate her together, so as to avoid future troubles.

Lu Yingjiu hid his emotions, looked at Jingxian again, and smiled: "We'll talk about these things when we go back, and we'll have to keep vigil tonight... um."

There was a cool touch on his lips, and Lu Yingjiu opened his eyes unconsciously——

Jing Xian actually kissed him directly!

His whole body was as stiff as a stone, and just as he was about to step back, the back of his head was firmly pressed again, and then Jingxian was almost pressed down on the grass.

Jingxian didn't give him the slightest room to resist.

This sudden kiss was like a storm, which caught people off guard, with entangled lips and teeth, and the kiss was warm. He could feel Jingxian licking his sensitive upper jaw, his breath blending together, the man's aggressive breath was unavoidable, all the way to attack the city, the feeling almost made his whole body tremble, and tiny electric currents scurried along the spine .

……too crazy.

His brain went blank, and it took him a few seconds to realize: other people are not far from them, will they see them!

He wanted to push Jingxian away, but that only made the rubbing sound of his clothes even more harsh. At this moment, any sound seemed to explode in his ears, including their breathing and their heartbeats. Adam's apple rolled up and down, swallowing each other, making people blush and heartbeat.

It was not long before Jing Xian let go of his hand.

The two slowly separated.

When they looked at each other, Lu Yingjiu felt that his ears and face were still hot.

After a long time, Jing Xian reached out and stroked his temples and whispered, "You only suppress your emotions every time and never say it. Obviously you can tell me. I just want to hug you and tell you. You can rely on me a little more, but I didn't expect that I couldn't control it... I'm sorry, are you angry?"

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He can't talk about being angry, and he can't say anything about questions and accusations.

In any way, Jingxian really pokes at his weakness too much. How could he be so serious with this attitude?

Jingxian is Jingxian after all.

The so-called one thing falls one thing, there is still some truth: Lu Yingjiu scared the other ghosts and wolves every day, chasing them all over the ground, and finally was restrained by another ghost, even if he stepped on it quickly. It's impossible to get angry at the bottom line.

His expression softened unconsciously.

Lu Yingjiu took a deep breath and said, "I'm not angry. But Jingxian, you..."

Can you get up from me first?

Still pinching my waist, I don't see any sign of repentance from you.

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden footstep approached, and Ye Feng's voice came: "Lu Yingjiu! I found the second master's... ah?!!"

He saw the two people on the grass at a glance.

Jing Xian put one hand on the ground and the other around Lu Yingjiu's waist, and if he lowered it a little, he could kiss him again.

Ye Feng: ? !

Ye Feng: "What the hell???"

He made the highest pitch in his life, and then his instinct started to regress: "I didn't see I didn't see I didn't see..."

He had just stepped back a dozen meters when Lu Yingjiu had already caught up.

There was rain and grass on his body, all from that chaotic kiss.

He pulled Ye Feng and said, "You misunderstood, we are nothing."

Ye Feng: "Really??"

"That's right." Lu Yingjiu promised hypocritically, "It was he who fell. Hurry up and say what you want to say, and have you found out what your second master is?"

Ye Feng was still in shock and doubtful.

He quickly looked at Lu Yingjiu's whole body, and even spoke twice as fast: "It's just that I found his notes in the book collection in the house. It is true that he has studied the spider mother a lot, including how to pray, how to use the ashes to resurrect the dead, and how to use the ashes to revive the dead. There are a series of plans and talismans he wrote."

He also concluded: "It is almost certain that he prayed to Spider Mother to resurrect my second grandmother. The ashes in my little crocodile toy belonged to her, but she was not resurrected, and she was still running around in the mountains."

Lu Yingjiu listened carefully.

Ye Feng talked and slowly calmed down.

He said to himself, looking at Lu Yingjiu's expression, it doesn't seem like something really happened. Could it be that it was really his misunderstanding?

Too.

Lu Yingjiu had been with the flamboyant female ghost for a long time.

And Lu Yingjiu didn't like men either. How can a good person bend when they say they are bent? It's not a dog's tail grass, it will fall over when the wind is overwhelmed.

After thinking about this, Ye Feng became calmer.

So his tone of speech slowly changed to his usual one: "Anyway, I don't know if I should tell my family about this."

"If I don't say it out, I'm sorry for the missing and dead people in the courtyard, and I'm sorry for the innocent like Amei. But if I say it out, the image of the second master will collapse forever. The Ye family's rules are strict, maybe they will directly He was removed from the family tree..."

"I'm still struggling. I think I'll speak out eventually."

"But now my heart is too messed up."

Ye Feng took a deep breath, covered his face with his hands, and rubbed hard.

He said: "The second grandpa who did not hesitate to switch back is not normal in the end."

"Looking at it from another angle, if I were a second grandmother, I might rather die than be resurrected at all. It is obviously a person from a family of exorcising ghosts, and being saved by that kind of ferocious ghosts and gods, the price is the lives of unknown people. It's better to live than to die, and to carry guilt all your life."

"It makes me sad to see my second grandmother like this."

He looked at Lu Yingjiu again, and smiled reluctantly: "But now, I don't have time to tangle so much. If my heart is messed up, it won't do any good for the next journey."

"That's all I can think of when I close my eyes. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. Lu Yingjiu, can you talk about other topics to clear my mind for a while."

"Other topics?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

"Yes, it's more explosive." Ye Feng said, "I also got inspiration from you. Just now I thought that when the two of you were kissing, my head was quite empty, and that's what I wanted. The more explosive the idea, the better.”

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu was silent for a while.

The evening wind blew his soft black hair, and his brown eyes were like glass in the firelight.

Then he said in Ye Feng's expectant eyes, "We did kiss."

Ye Feng: "...?"

Lu Yingjiu added: "Do you still remember my ghost marriage? Jingxian is the flamboyant female ghost."

Ye Feng: "...??"

Ye Feng: ? ? ? ? ? ?

The author has something to say: Ye Feng: I asked you to disrupt my thinking, but I did not let you break my thinking!
