After listening to She Yan's mysterious explanation, Xiahou Qing gently twisted the finger bone in his hand a few times and smiled lightly.
He put the finger bone into his sleeve pocket and reached out to take a few slender bamboo leaves from Jiu Si. His slender fingers nimbly folded and flipped them. Soon, a nimble bamboo grasshopper appeared in his palm.
This was the little toy that Ning Shu loved the most at the "market" yesterday. After returning to the inn, she played with it for a long time. It didn't even stick to him as much until the little grasshopper fell apart. Ning Shu was very disappointed until Xiahou Qing softly coaxed her that he would "buy" an identical grasshopper for her tomorrow.
After he finished making the grasshopper, he continued to make the next bamboo rooster. He said, "According to the old man, since everyone went to participate in the ceremony and only three people didn't go, how did they know that the first person saw a red shadow and wasn't attacked by the beasts in the mountain? The second person was dragged into the water by the water ghost on the bridge and didn't accidentally fall into the river and get entangled by the lush water plants and drown? The third person was burned to death in his sleep and wasn't locked in the inn and murdered? "
She Yan was slightly stunned. "Does Shizi mean that there is a problem?"
Xiahou Qing's tone was indifferent. "There is this possibility, but it can't be ruled out that it is indeed a subtle coincidence. A person's imagination was limitless, especially when it came to matters related to their beliefs. They would subtly fabricate countless mysterious details, thus creating an unfathomable atmosphere and adding even more mysterious colors, causing people to fear, revere, and worship them. No matter which possibility it is, this Xuan Nu Peak is indeed a little interesting. "
"Xiao Shu." He waved his hand and called Ning Shu, who was catching butterflies in the hydrangeas, over. He reached out his hand. Ning Shu saw the little toy in his palm and her eyes immediately lit up. She ran over and held his hand.
She tiptoed and planted a kiss on Xiahou Qing's lips. Ever since she had kissed his scar that day, she had never gotten tired of this little action. Especially after she had suddenly attacked him, his handsome and otherworldly face had suddenly returned to the mortal world, and the tips of his ears had quietly been dyed with a touch of red, just like now.
On the side, She Yan and the others immediately coughed and looked up at the sky as if to say, "You continue, you continue. We were blind just now and didn't see anything."
Xiahou Qing completely ignored their teasing. He knocked her head in exasperation and enjoyment and said, "Little Shu, do you want to go out and play? There is no market today, but there is a special ceremony. Everyone in the town will participate. So it will be very lively and there will be many things that you have never seen before. but there will also be a lot of people.. But Xiao Shu, remember that I will always be by your side and will never let anyone hurt you. Xiao Shu, you decide whether you want to go or not. "
Ning Shu was tangled and bit her lips. Her eyebrows were full of struggle. Over the past few days, she had been slowly led out by Xiahou Qing. She had seen many strangers. These people were either warm and courteous to her or indifferently brushed past her. In short, no one showed any hostility to her, nor did they harm her in the slightest. But the fear of the unknown was too deep in her bones on that rainy night. How could it be erased in a day and night? She struggled for a long time and still wanted to shake her head. Then she felt him silently reach over and hold her hand.
Yes, she was still very afraid, very afraid. But she had this person. This person's name was Xiahou Qing. She did not have many memories of him in her mind, but she was very certain that this person would always be in front of her to protect her.
So she took a deep breath and restrained the trembling of her body. Then she forcefully nodded her head.
"I want to go, I want to go."
Xiahou Qing's heart trembled. He could not help but impulsively embrace the girl in front of him. His eyes were slightly wet. "My Xiao Shu is so good. You are the best woman in the world."
