There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 24 Ning Chucheng's Whereabouts
"How could I care about him? A brat dares to bark at me. You don't need to look to know that he doesn't understand anything." The man smiled contemptuously and said to himself, "General, this is not me. If you don’t keep your promise, someone will break the seal.” As he spoke, the man showed a strange smile, like gloating, with helpless but incongruous cruelty and expectation. "What's your name?" The man suddenly asked Ning Chucheng.

"Ning Chucheng." There was more awe in Ning Chucheng's tone.

"Really..." The man's slow tone seemed to be chewing his name, "I wish you good luck." As he spoke, I don't know if the fog thickened, or the man really disappeared, anyway, I couldn't see that man again. man.

"Huh——" In the thick fog, I heard the roar of animals, and an animal with a body like a lion appeared in the fog. "Lion? Fortunately, I have learned martial arts, and it is not a problem to deal with it." I said confidently.

"Lion?" Ning Chucheng's tone made me feel very uncomfortable. He said, "How can you say that you are also a member of the Jiangmo family? Why don't you even have this kind of common sense? Okay, it's not a problem, right? Then just stay for a while I'll leave it to you, don't tell me that your legs are weak from fright."

The animal came to us through the thick fog. It had a dragon's head, a horse's body, and its feet. It was shaped like a lion. Its fur was gray and white. It had short wings, two horns, a curly tail, a mane connected to its chest, protruding eyes, and long hair. Holding Sen Leng's fangs, is this an evil spirit beast?I opened my eyes wide.The evil spirit beast is a mythical beast in ancient Chinese myths and legends. It didn't do anything, and I already felt a strong sense of oppression. It is really an evil spirit beast! "What, what should I do?"

"Hey, didn't you say that dealing with it is not a problem?" Ning Chucheng said with a half-smile, "Go."

"But..." I suddenly hated Ning Chucheng a little. He knew everything, but he just didn't tell me, making me look ugly.

"Forget it, you run away." He pulled me behind and said, "Now is not the time to be a hero. We haven't really offended it yet, and it should be too late to beg for mercy and escape. I don't want to be its dinner. "

"Begging for mercy?" I raised my voice, "Our Huangfu family will never beg for mercy!" As I spoke, I pulled out a talisman and used fire and lightning to attack the evil spirit beast, but the evil spirit beast swallowed my fire thunder in one gulp. Yangtian let out a long roar.

"You're crazy!" Ning Chucheng punched me hard. I didn't expect him to attack me, and I was knocked down to the ground. "Ning Chucheng!" I wiped the corners of my mouth and scolded, "What are you doing! A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

Ning Chucheng snorted, "If you're about to die, why be a gentleman! Listen, if you don't want to die, get away immediately!" As soon as I looked up, I saw a huge black shadow rushing towards me. Hua, when I came back to my senses, I saw that the evil spirit beast had already bit Ning Chucheng's neck. The dark red blood stained the evil spirit beast's gray fur, and the shocking blood was running along his arms and soaking through his neck. My clothes dripped drop by drop on my thigh... My mind went blank, and I didn't know where the strength came from to get up from the ground and run desperately, to the temporary hut, shut myself in the room and tremble .

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.I asked a local policeman to go find Ning Chucheng with me, but only saw bloodstains all over the place. The doctor who went with me said that even if he was not eaten, he would die from excessive blood loss.The police searched the vicinity for a whole week, but found neither Ning Chucheng's whereabouts nor his body.Later, they found fragments of the jade pendant that Ning Chucheng had been wearing about three miles to the east from where we met the evil spirit beast, and it was covered with dried blood.

I have been blaming myself for not doing anything at that time, and I have not found Ning Chucheng's body. I still can't believe that he is dead. I have been inquiring about Ning Chucheng's whereabouts for so many years, but there is nothing about him in these years. information.

"It turned out that something like this happened." Zigui nodded, "Actually, Grandpa Huangfu doesn't have to mind that much. My grandfather never said that he had any enemies or people he hated, which means he didn't blame you at all. And he also If you want to go first, you don't need to worry about this matter."

"Your grandfather really didn't mention anything? You haven't even heard my name?" Huangfu Xin asked.

She nodded.

For the current Huangfu Xin, Zigui's words gave him a feeling of overturning the five-flavored bottle. Ning Chucheng didn't hold grudges against him, he was indeed very happy, but hearing Zigui's words, in Ning Chucheng's heart, it seemed that he didn't care about him at all. , never existed. "Thank you, since you are A-Lv's friend and Chu Cheng's granddaughter, you don't have to be polite, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite." Huangfu Xin waved his hand, "A-Lv, take good care of Zigui for me. Go to the guest room first, I want to be alone for a while."

"Yes, Grandpa." Huangfulu agreed, "I'll take you to the guest room to rest first."

In the garden of the Huangfu family, there are courtyards, terraces and pavilions, with winding corridors and paths, the internal and external spaces penetrate each other, and the entire building complex is smooth and agile.Through the lattice windows, the scenery in the garden is condensed into a miniature landscape. Unlike the trees and grass in the English garden, which are trimmed neatly like soldiers, the natural and random bushes are elegant and leisurely, and the trickling streams pass by, reflecting the scenery in the garden. Interlaced, houses and gardens are integrated, it can be admired, visited, and lived in. Suzhou gardens, which are listed as world cultural heritage, are just like this.Passing through the Plum Blossom Gate, they came to the Ji Garden, which is dedicated to greeting guests.The garden is divided into four chambers for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each chamber is divided into four rooms for plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Huangfulu arranged for Chu Xiu and Zigui to live in the plum room and chrysanthemum room in Xiaxiang, while Xiuwen lived with Huangfulu in Xianyuan. . "Junior sister, I want to ask you." Huangfu asked, "Did grandfather Ling tell you how he was saved?"

Zigui put down his backpack and said, "My grandfather never even told about this, how could he tell me how he was saved?"

"That's right." Huangfulu thought for a while, "I'm sorry, you guys should rest first." After speaking, he walked out of Ji Garden with Xiuwen.

Zigui sat down on the bed, playing with his hair and looking at the room, when someone knocked on the door. "Come in!" she called.

"What are you doing for a rest in broad daylight?" Chu Xiu walked in and said, "Hey, you've actually heard of Huangfu Xin a long time ago, right?"

She glared at Chu Xiu, this guy is not as sharp as he usually is, really, how clever is he when he should be pretending to be confused! "So what?" she said angrily.

"Then why didn't you say it? You didn't see how the old man was shocked when he heard that your grandpa didn't mention him at all." Chu Xiu leaned against the door and said.

Leaning against the bedpost, she said, "But I think it would be better not to say anything, this is also Grandpa's wish."

"How did your grandpa escape from danger?" Chu Xiu was also very curious. It was incredible that he was fine after being bitten by the evil spirit beast.

"The Huangfu Xin I heard from my grandfather is a self-willed, ignorant, poor teacher, self-righteous, brave and foolish, and somehow likes to cling to him." She sat cross-legged on the bed and said , "All in all, my grandfather is very annoying about Huangfu Xin, and he doesn't even want to mention it. But he talks about his experience of escaping danger, saying that being able to encounter such a miracle is enough for a lifetime of recollection."

"He said what happened at that time?" Chu Xiu was also curious.

"Grandpa said..."

Being bitten by the evil spirit beast on the neck, he began to regret why he rushed out so impulsively to protect the young master Huangfu Xin who knew nothing but always thought he was great.Pain, besides pain, his consciousness began to become blurred.With a little sticky liquid flowing to the palm of the hand, are these all his blood?All the strength seems to be gradually leaving his body with the loss of this blood.Just when he thought he was really going to die, he heard the sound of the flute, which was very melodious but also very sad. Unexpectedly, the evil spirit beast let him go after hearing the sound of the flute, and he fell limply On the ground, a pair of men's shoes appeared in front of my eyes.who is it?
"Although I don't really want to save you, but...if I don't save you now, the time to see that person will be delayed again." The man's voice was pleasant, soft like hot spring water.

"Who..." Could it be black and white impermanence?

"Don't care who I am, be quiet." The man shouted softly.

That was fine, he didn't have the strength to say another word anyway.At this time, my whole body felt a sharp pain, "Ah—" After the pain passed, I suddenly felt no pain at all, but my whole body still couldn't exert any strength.He opened his eyes in a daze, and found himself lying on a white bed. The faint smell of medicine stimulated his sense of smell. Could it be that this is a hospital?

"Are you awake?" He heard someone ask.

"You saved me?" He got up, the decoration of the room was very old, he had a feeling of time and space confusion, looked around but saw no one, "Huh? Where did you go?"

"Here." Something fluffy rubbed against his hand, and he looked down, and it turned out to be a white fox half as tall as a man!This is not the most important thing, "You were talking just now?!" God, the fox can actually talk!

"What? Is there a problem?" the fox said provocatively.

"It's not a problem..." Isn't that the reaction of anyone seeing a talking fox? "Excuse me, did you save me?"

"No, it's the master." The fox said, "But it's very rare to see the master save people. In the past, only generals would save people."

"Who is the general?" He asked curiously, "And who is your master? I thought I would definitely become the dinner of the evil spirit beast."

"The master is a very powerful magician, but the master is very cold and cruel. He never saves people. Even if he saves people, he will kill that person immediately." The fox glanced at him. Save people, I thought it would snow in June."

Why did he feel that he had just walked through the gate of hell several times and came back? "Then what about the general you mentioned?"

"He died a long time ago. The general is a good man, very kind." The fox wagged his tail slowly and said, "But the general is also very pitiful."

"That's right, good people don't live long, and wicked people live thousands of years." He nodded.

The fox straightened his white fur and said, "If you think it's okay, you should leave early. Who knows when the master will change his mind and kill you. Now that the general is not here, the master won't worry about anything."

"Is your master afraid of the general?" He really wanted to know which famous general was so powerful.

"It's not that I'm afraid..." The fox's tone gave him a strange feeling, "You're fine, why don't you leave?"
