long night walk

Chapter 21
Bai Lian looked at her dressed in red, and for some reason recalled Jin Sheng's words in his mind.

In this world, there are two women who must never be provoked.

A red dress.

A white coat.

And they are all beautiful.

Now this one is very beautiful.

Bai Lian felt a little apprehensive, thinking that he would not meet him by such a coincidence.

He nodded and patted the dust off his body with an umbrella, then got up and wrapped the dirty buns scattered on the ground with a white cloth and put them in his arms.

A simple movement seemed to sting the corners of her eyes.

Her gaze became a little strange, almond pupils were far-reaching, as if they contained some kind of painful memories.

She lowered her eyes and said slowly: "You still pick up the buns even if they are dirty. I remember that corpse demons can't eat food that mortals eat, right?"

Bai Lian nodded and hummed: "This is a thank you gift from me for saving the Orion father and daughter. I have only been awake from the coffin for more than ten days, and this is the first time I have seen human cooked food. cute."

The girl touched her cheek subconsciously, and murmured in a low voice: "White and fat...cute..."

Immediately, her eyebrows were furrowed in slight annoyance, and the corners of her mouth sank into a slightly angry look.

But her deep and beautiful eyes were flickering slightly, but there was clearly a bit of hurt, a bit of anger, and a bit of bitter sweet smile...

For some reason, seeing such gazes, Baili'an's heart was inexplicably blocked.

Crystal drops of water slid down the glass-transparent umbrella, and the thick ice that had solidified on the umbrella with that sword just now slowly melted into water.

And the Orion girl who was unconscious groaned and woke up faintly.

The moment her consciousness returned, she paled and shouted suddenly, "Ghost! Ghost! There is a ghost!"

Bai Lian silently pulled the hood that was changed behind him to cover his face.

Under his painful struggle just now, Hei Ling fell to nowhere.

The wide and pitch-black hood can only cover half of his upper cheeks, revealing only his pale and thin chin like a knife-cut.

It seemed that the bewildered scream was a bit piercing, and the woman in red frowned lazily.

In the blink of an eye, the complex emotions in the pupils of just now disappeared like a catharsis, and soon covered with an unpredictable masked smile.

Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, but under her eyelashes there was a gloomy green: "Ghost? There are no ghosts here."

Xu Shi's voice was too ethereal and ethereal, but it calmed down the girl a little.

When the pale face looked at the woman, his eyes couldn't help but startled, as if he was amazed by her appearance for a moment.

She collected herself, turned her eyes again, and subconsciously flinched when she fell on the boy holding the umbrella, as if she saw something terrible.

But when she saw clearly the pale, clean chin without a trace of scar under the hood, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

She pointed at Bai Li'an blankly and murmured: "I clearly remember that you were exposed to the sun just now..."

Bai Lian was silent for a moment, watching the little deer walking towards the frightened girl, and gently arching his head as if to comfort him, he said, "I'll take you home first."

The girl froze, and before she had time to react, the woman in red sneered softly.

Her beautiful eyes turned slightly and looked at Bai Li'an with a hint of pride: "She is so afraid of you, and even sent her home with a hot face and a cold ass. Are you falling in love with this little girl at first sight?"

Bai Lian chuckled silently, the corners of his pale and bloodless lips curled up a little helplessly.

He didn't explain, but under the eyes of the red woman, he could clearly see the unclear face under his hood. At this moment, the direction he was facing was not the girl's side, but the unconscious Orion covered in scars. .

Following his line of sight, the woman casually landed on Orion and glanced twice, her thin lips parted slightly: "It's interesting."

The eyes of the girl squatting on the ground did not fade away, she shook her head desperately and said: "No...no! I don't want you to send it."

Under the scorching sun, Bai Lian's appearance like a ghost is still vivid in her mind, how could she not be afraid.

"You just had a nightmare."

The red-clothed woman's apricot eyes suddenly dimmed, with a strange light shining in them, and her voice fluttered as if rootless, but it brought a magical guiding force:
"It was just that you were too tired and had a nightmare. The ghost you saw was just a hallucination when you were in a coma..."

The Orion girl's eyes gradually became hollow and psychedelic, losing their original color.

Finally, when she nodded in a ignorant manner, the resistance and fear in her eyes also dissipated, and then turned into clarity.

She looked at Bai Li'an with a guilty face and said: "It's really rude to benefactor, you saved me, and I'm so rude, it's really..."

Bai Lian took a deep look at the woman in red, but didn't say much.

Diameter walked over and put the fainted Orion on his shoulder with one hand, and said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, I will take you home first."

This time the girl didn't resist too much, she nodded slightly with a shy face.

Because of her leg injury, the little deer carried her on his back, and walked away with her little hooves under the guidance of her fingers.

To Bai Li'an's surprise, the woman in red dress of unknown origin also followed behind him step by step, showing no intention of leaving.

"Uh... Is there something else, girl?"

"Nothing."

"then you……"

"Boring, fun."

She casually took a half-withered and half-yellow fallen leaf, played with it for a while, and then threw it away casually.

The fallen leaf drifted along the track of the mountain wind to nowhere.

She looked at the road ahead, her tone of voice and ecology were a bit lazy and uninterested.

But she said this: "That little girl's family looks very interesting."

If it was the past, the life and death of others would be nothing more than the dry and prosperous years in accordance with the destiny to her.

For so many years, I am used to floating alone, and I don't like to meddle in other people's affairs.

But today, she saw the long-lost bun, and she was in a good mood.

So I don't mind having fun with this little corpse.

Bai Lian snorted: "The girl is really a strange person."

The woman took it lightly and said: "You are also a very strange corpse demon. You speak politely, and you are as rigid as an old friend of mine."

Bai Lian didn't ask who her old friend was, but chuckled and said, "Just now you saw me wounding a deer to get blood, so you acted, but now when you see the corpses all over the ground, the girl doesn't pay any attention to it. In my heart, a human life is not as important as a deer's life."

The woman said perfunctorily without sincerity: "All living beings are equal."

Bai Lian replied honestly: "This sentence is so fake."

The woman sneered: "Before you ask me whether the life of a human or a deer is more important, you should first ask yourself, which is more important."

Bai Lian replied without hesitation: "Of course my deer is important."

"What a coincidence, I thought so too." The woman smiled slightly, but under this smile, there was a rare bit of sincerity.
