The bridegroom obeyed, the people who had seen it dispersed in twos and threes, and the streets returned to normal. Ji Changkong stepped forward to pick up the two bags of things that Jingwu had thrown to the ground, asked Beiran for her bag, and put all the items into the small bag that seemed to be only a little bigger than a palm, and then put it in his sleeve to carry it. Said to Kita: "Let's go back." ”

Bei Ran was puzzled: "Do we really care about the half-immortals?" Although he always robs things with me and fights with me, he shouldn't want to marry that young lady, should we really not save him? ”

Ji Changkong said: "Let's go back first, put our things away, and come back later." ”

Bei Dye was relieved, it turned out that he was afraid that he would lose the things he bought when he went shopping.

Back at the cottage, Ji Changkong placed the purchased items, took a sample from the house, and set off down the mountain with Bei Dye again.

Bei Ran lied to his father, saying that he wanted to spend a few more days in the city with his husband. The owner and his wife heard that they were with Ji Changkong, so they didn't say much, just asked her not to forget to go home because of the fun, they were always inexplicably relieved about Ji Changkong.

When I returned to the city, it was already dusk, and there were many fewer people in the city, except for the few people walking on the streets.

Ji Changkong and Bei Ran came to Zhangfu in the east of the city, found an inn nearby to stay, and waited until it was dark, before they came to the side of the street and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.

Keigo was placed in a good room to rest, and since he was a future uncle, he couldn't be lazy. And the Zhang family is also worthy of being a rich party, Guangjingwu alone arranged more than a dozen maids to wait, beating the back, rubbing the legs, and placing all kinds of exquisite snacks and fruits on the table, so comfortable.

Sensing a familiar aura approaching, Jingwu waved off the maids and said, "Okay, you guys go down, I'm going to rest." ”

So the maids got up, saluted him, and said, "Yes." I lined up at the door and didn't forget to close the door when I left.

Ji Changkong took Bei Ran in through the window, walked to the middle of the room, looked at the lazy man sitting on the chair with his legs on another chair, and said, "Why, this day with a maid waiting is too comfortable, I changed my mind and decided to marry that Miss Zhang." ”

Jingwu threw a grape in his mouth and said, "What's the matter, I'm not interested in being a new uncle." ”

Bei Ran walked and sat down at the table, poured a glass of water for himself and Ji Changkong, took a sip, and said, "Then why don't you run away and stay here obediently to be a son-in-law?" ”

Although there is an order in the heavenly realm, no god or immortal can use spells on mortals at will, nor can they hurt others. But just a few people dragged him, and with a flick of his hand, he could throw them far away, how could he be pulled into a sedan chair and brought here.

There is only one explanation for this, and that is that he was not forced, on the contrary, he came with him voluntarily.

From the moment Jingwu was pulled into the sedan chair, Ji Changkong had discovered the problem, but he didn't know what the reason was. At first, Beiran really thought that Jingwu was snatched away, but later he saw Ji Changkong's reaction and slowly figured this out.

Jingwu put his feet back on the ground, straightened his body, and said solemnly: "When I was pulled by those family members today, I accidentally touched their wrists, and one of them had a problem. ”

Ji Changkong said: "What's the problem?" ”

Keigo put his hand on his chin, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "His pulse is beating the wrong number of times." ”

Bei Ran Qi said: "What's wrong? ”

Jing Wu said: "A normal person's pulse beats usually sixty to one hundred times a minute, and a healthy young adult will be a little faster, it should be seventy or eighty times a minute, but that person's pulse beats too fast, at least one hundred and fifteen. ”

After thinking for a moment, Ji Changkong said, "You mean, that person shouldn't be a person, it's something else?" ”

Jingwu said: "Yes, I thought so before. But when I came back with them today, I observed that there was nothing abnormal about the man, and there was not the slightest demonic aura on his body, which is what I didn't understand. ”

"It stands to reason that a normal person has a certain range of times his pulse beats per minute. If you go beyond this range, high or low, you will get sick. But no matter how high or low, it will not fluctuate more than ten times. And it's really strange that this person has nearly twice as many times as many times out of thin air, and can still fight and argue with people unharmed. ”

Ji Changkong didn't see this person with his own eyes, and he couldn't draw a conclusion, so he had to say: "You stay here first, Bei Ran and I are at the inn opposite Zhang's Mansion, and we will find a way to enter the mansion tomorrow, and then we will take a look." ”

Keigo agreed, "Okay. ”

Sending away Ji Changkong and Bei Ran, Jingwu lay on the bed, thinking about the man who pulled him during the day, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore, turned over and slept with his eyes closed, and said something tomorrow.

Out of Zhang's mansion, the two walked on the road without saying a word. Ji Changkong asked Bei Ran, "What's wrong?" I haven't been talking. ”

Since he and Keigo talked about the possibility that the man was a demon, Beiran didn't say a word again. Ji Changkong turned his head to look at her, only to find that she was walking very slowly, and the whole person was still trembling slightly.

Ji Changkong took her hand and found that her hand was also cold, and said with concern: "Is it cold?" ”

Bei Ran raised his head to look at him and said, "Sir, have we encountered a youkai again?" Why are there so many youkai in the world? ”

It turned out to be a concern about the youkai.

This is not to blame her, originally she has been growing up in a small village in the mountains, and she is not very rich, but she also has no worries about food and clothing. When you pee, you think that there are only people in this world, and human beings are supreme!

But just recently, when the giant earthworm was dug up from the village, it subverted her previous cognition. And at this moment, he told her that there might be monsters here, and for her who just accepted this fact, she was inevitably afraid.

Ji Changkong took off his coat and draped it on her shoulders, and comforted: "Don't think so much, with me, no matter whether you are a human or a demon, I can't hurt you." ”

Beiran nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Back at the inn, Ji Changkong packed up everything in the room where Beiran lived, and then went back to his room to rest. Lying on the bed, he was also meditating on what Keigo said. Since he is not a demon, why is his heart rate twice as fast as that of ordinary people?

As the night wore on, he still didn't feel sleepy. A small shadow had been hiding in his doorway from the time he had been lying down, and he had not to open his eyes to detect the movement. Seeing that the shadow had no intention of leaving for a long time, he got up in confusion and opened the door.

The person outside the house turned out to be North Dye.

She squatted on the ground, curled up in a small ball with her knees crossed, hiding in the corner of his door, looking very pitiful, Ji Changkong asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Beiran looked up at him and said, "I'm a little scared and can't sleep." ”

Since she was a child, she has been living in a cottage, although she has also done a lot of roadblock robbery, but it is the first time she has spent the night outside. Xu couldn't sleep because she recognized her life, or because she was not used to changing beds. In addition, she heard Ji Changkong and Jingwu say that there might be monsters before, so she was even more scared, she didn't dare to stay alone in the room, and she was embarrassed to disturb Ji Changkong, so she kept guarding the door of his room.

Ji Changkong pulled her up and brought her into his room, and said, "Then you can sleep with me tonight." ”

Bei Ran was stunned at first, in fact, she just wanted to get closer to him, so that she was not so afraid, and she didn't think about occupying his place to sleep. Then I thought about it, and I felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so I said, "Okay." Then she cautiously followed him through the door.

When he slept in the place where he had just slept, he suddenly felt much more at ease. There was still a faint scent of sandalwood on his body on the bed, and Bei Dye's nervous mood was relieved a lot.

Ji Changkong sat at the table drinking tea, caught a glimpse of her looking at herself out of the corner of her eye, and said with a smile: "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Beiran stood up and said, "I want to hear you play the piano." ”

Ji Changkong hesitated for a moment, and took out the lyre from his sleeve, which was exactly what he took back from the village during the day. Placed it on the table and said, "It's too late now, it will make noise until others rest, so I will play a song and go to bed after listening." ”

Beiran obediently responded: "Okay." ”

Ji Changkong stroked the strings with both hands, adjusted his posture, and plucked it lightly. Strings of Qingyue soft tones flowed out from his fingers, with the unique aura of independence from his body, knocking on Beiran's heart little by little, making her unable to take her eyes off it.

After finishing the song, Ji Changkong put the piano back to his sleeves and said to Beiran: "It's time to sleep." ”

Bei Ran still looked at him with his head on his back, but he had to give up, although the sound of the piano was indeed like a heavenly sound, after all, it was late at night, and it was not good to disturb the people, and said: "Okay, I'll sleep immediately." ”

Less than half a moment after lying down, she got up again, and said in a weak voice: "Sir, I want to sleep with you, I'm afraid without you by my side." ”

Ji Changkong said: "I won't leave, I'll guard you here, and I won't leave when you fall asleep." ”

Kitazan said: "But I'm still scared. ”

Ji Changkong sighed, this kid is afraid that he is not scared stupid.

He reluctantly got up and went to the bedside, folded the quilt for Bei Ran, and lay down beside her with his clothes, saying, "Don't be afraid now." ”

Beiran leaned closer to him, took his hand, closed his eyes and said, "Well, I'm not afraid." ”

Ji Changkong looked at her sideways, and after a while, she really fell asleep. That bright and delicate face has not changed at all as it did tens of thousands of years ago. He stroked his hand over her cheek and muttered, "Sleep in peace, I won't go, never." ”

Early the next morning, as soon as Ji Changkong got up, a few people who looked like family members knocked on his door.

The man at the head said: "Is it Ji Changkong Ji Gongzi?" ”

Ji Changkong said: "What's the matter? ”

The man said: "My aunt asked me to pick up his cousin and sister-in-law to the mansion as guests, and in a few days my aunt and young lady will get married, and it will be more convenient for the two to attend the wedding." ”

Cousin cousin?

Ji Changkong understood and said, "I know, you guys wait a minute, and after I tell Madame to get up, I will go with you." ”

Zhang's family entered the mansion with Bei Ran and Ji Changkong, and Jing Wu was already waiting in the lobby early, along with Master Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, and a group of domestic servants.

As soon as he saw Ji Changkong, Jingwu immediately rushed forward, hugged him and cried: "Cousin, cousin, you are finally here, I miss you so much." As he spoke, he symbolically wiped two handfuls of tears.

Ji Changkong was not shocked on the surface, but secretly his hand kept pushing him, and said softly: "Cousin, you are such a big person, you have to keep your little temperament in the past, and you will become a relative to Miss Zhang in the future, and you must show everyone's demeanor, don't let outsiders see jokes." ”

These two people pulled and hugged in front of everyone in the house, but the old man and Mrs. Zhang saw the old tears and sighed that the two brothers really had a deep relationship.

In order to allow Ji Changkong and Bei Ran to enter Zhang's mansion with a legitimate identity and investigate the matter together, Jingwu thought of a way to tell Master Zhang that he was actually an orphan, who had no father or mother since he was a child, and there was only one cousin alive in the family. Last year, my cousin married a sister-in-law and came home, and the two still treated him like brothers, obeying him and taking care of everything. Now that he is about to get married, he must not forget the kindness of his cousin and sister-in-law, and he should take them into the house to live together for a few days, and then go after his wedding.

Master Zhang felt that what Jingwu said was very reasonable, and he must be a person who knows how to repay his kindness in the world, so he should take this matter and send someone to pick them up early this morning.

Before Jingwu's blind date and brotherhood were finished, he heard a male voice outside the door from far and near, and said loudly: "This is the husband recruited by Miss?" ”
