Chapter 94 That moonlight is so beautiful
"You are so beautiful!"

He wrapped his arms around my waist, tied my hair, and smiled slightly, as if he was joking.

I stared at him intently and called softly, "Chu Yuan!"

He was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Huh?"

"Will you leave me?"

I looked up and stared at him close at hand, not even knowing why I asked this suddenly.

But he was visibly stagnant, and the movements of his hands suddenly stopped.

I felt a bit bitter in my heart, after all, he and I only met a few times!
He is the king of snakes, in his eyes, I may be just a sacrifice for entertainment in the long years.

Lord Snake will also be lonely, but he needs a companion.

There is only this possibility.

"What about you, will you betray me?"

He bypassed this sentence, and suddenly stared at me as cold as water.

I replied ambiguously: "What will happen? If not, so what?"

"If you betray, that coffin will be your destination." His face was calm, but his words revealed a bit of coldness.

This night, the man was as gentle as water, he told me not to be afraid, saying that I am his man by birth and his ghost by death.

That repeated torture, in the end, turned into billowing waves.

The feeling of my chest being slowly hollowed out, my eyes are blurred, as if someone is calling me: Bai Yao—— Bai Yao——

The deep voice, who is speaking.

In the mist, I saw that handsome silhouette, those eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if they could swallow me into it.

"Chu Yuan?" My voice was very soft, and I raised my hand in mid-air.

He stood up and smiled mysteriously at me, "Come with me."

"Where are you going?" I frowned, and when I looked down, I found that the clothes on my body were already put on.

I blushed slightly, but he grabbed my hand and walked out of the temple gate.

"Where are you taking me?"

His strides are so big that I have to trot to keep up, and after I ask questions, he doesn't answer.

He took my hand, walked out of the deserted ancient temple, and sat on the mottled steps.

The scenery on the mountain is beautiful, and the quiet night is like an ink landscape painting. Looking at it intently, endless ink colors fill the eyes, the crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, the summer insects are crisp, and a few stars accompany the twinkling cold moon.

The silvery white moonlight sprinkled on the desolate ancient temple, but it gave a kind of quiet beauty.

"look!"

He raised his hand suddenly, but I couldn't see what he was doing, but it was as if he had cast a magic spell. I followed his fingers and saw a little silvery, agile light in the forest.

Floating in the bushes are blue fireflies, like a small blue light floating gently.

At first it was only in twos and threes, but within a moment, dense fluorescent lights gathered and danced by the water under the forest and in the grass in front of the hedge.

I leaned in his arms and raised my head to see under the wonderful moonlight, groups of fireflies flying in the night sky, like a river of stars.

"so beautiful!"

I stared at the moving night ripplingly, and I was fascinated by it.

After a long time, I finally felt a little sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

He gently hooked the bridge of my nose, vaguely saying that we will meet again soon.

In a daze, I couldn't figure out what this sentence meant, but I slept very peacefully that night, without dreams.

When he woke up, he was no longer around him. It was only the rising sun, which dazzled the whole world, making it extraordinarily beautiful.

But the light gradually became hotter.

Looking around, I was still in front of the abandoned snake temple. Looking back, the white wax in the temple had been burned out, only the statue of the snake god in the temple was still entrenched, and there were traces of being warm last night.

"Chu Yuan!"

I murmured something softly, and the name suddenly sounded nice, and it matched his temperament quite well.

When I got home, I opened the cloth I got from Erma Ma, and took out something wrapped in red cloth, which fell from the beam after I put incense on Granny Ma.

After hesitating for a while, I removed the red thread. After the red cloth was spread out, there was indeed a black wooden box inside, square in shape with some patterns on it.

The box was unlocked, and when I opened it, there was a piece of cloth inside, and on it was an old-fashioned, jet-black pair of scissors with grained handles that had been worn smooth.

The scissors were odd in shape, about five inches long and half an inch wide, with weird handles and slanted notches.

The scissors are nothing special except that the curved and curved style is relatively simple. Not to mention cutting hair, the blunt scissors are estimated to be laborious to cut paper.

I really can't think of what Granny Ma can do with a pair of old scissors that are broken and useless.

But thinking of what Zhang Laizi said, I packed up my things carefully, because Ma Ermao needs to go there for her funeral, so I plan to go to Liuhuai Village first, and then go to Snake Village.

When we arrived at Liuhuai Village, it was already dark.

Ma Ermao was a bit evil when she was lying in the coffin, so there were not many villagers watching the spirit at night, and Zhang Laizi was not there, only the old village head and a few scattered people.

A few people gathered around the fire, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull. Although I was quite unfamiliar with it, everyone here should be quite aware of what happened after Erma Ma went to the coffin.

They didn't feel surprised that I came here, but some people looked at me with very different eyes, and their expressions were a little weird.

When I went into the main room to offer incense to Ma Ermao, the old village head came over and said next to me: "Tomorrow and the next three days will be cloudy, so it is not suitable to break ground. We discussed it at the beginning and plan to bury it early!"

"When?" I asked, frowning.

The old village head pondered: "Tonight!"

I don't know anything about Feng Shui. Since this is their arrangement, I naturally won't say anything, so I just nodded and agreed.

After dinner, the village head brought some coffin bearers.

I led the way ahead, but because it was night, I was always feeling uneasy, afraid that something might happen, and the atmosphere was relatively silent along the way.

In particular, when the coffin was carried halfway, there seemed to be a lot of crows around, and they kept croaking and screaming, which made people shudder.

Ma Erpo can also be regarded as a person who has half of her foot in the shadows, and some weird things that happen after her death are also very common.

Fortunately, until the coffin fell to the ground, nothing else happened. After the first handful of soil was sprinkled in the ground, the next thing was for the village chief and others.

But it was already late now, and there was no car at the moment. When I returned to Liuhuai Village, I was thinking about how to leave, when a young man hurriedly walked towards me.

When he passed by me, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Bai Yao?"

His voice was a little uncertain. I paused and looked carefully at the young man in his early twenties who was dressed in white and black trousers.

"You are?" I looked wary.

"You are really Bai Yao!" He smiled, and then said, "Are you also here to see Che Yu?"
