Drunken Crane Immortal

Chapter 37

After hearing the sound, Hua Zhaoshui looked over, and finally saw that the person who came was not some three-headed and six-armed monster, and his clothes and appearance were no different from ordinary people. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, became courageous again, looked at him and said, "This is what my father gave me." It's a birthday gift, so I brought it with me. You didn't seem to say that you can't bring this."

Sheng Jian glanced slightly at the bow in his hand, curled up his lips, and said, "You can take it, I've always been more tolerant of sacrifices."

"Sacrifice?" Hua Zhaoshui pursed her lips, clenched the bow in her hand, looked up at him, and said, "What is a sacrifice?"

Sheng Jianwei embraced his shoulders, pressed his palms on his shoulders, turned his head slightly and said, "They sent you here without telling you, what are you here for?"

Hua Zhaoshui struggled for a while, but couldn't break free, and said, "I don't know—why are you grabbing me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Jianwei's fingers slid across his cheeks, making him tremble again.

"It's okay if you don't know, you can live well for the time being." Sheng Jianwei couldn't help but smile again when he saw his stern look, and said, "Let's go, go and see the bird cage you want to live in."

Pushed forward by him, Hua Zhaoshui said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm not a bird."

Sheng Jianwei didn't care what he said, just held his shoulder firmly, and it seemed that he left the dense forest after walking for a long time. Peach blossoms grow by the stream, and on the clear stream, through the fence of the yard, you can see a few sheep lying on the grass beside it.

Hua Zhaoshui was a little shocked, and stayed for a while before saying, "Do you live here?"

"Isn't it like where I live?"

Hua Zhaoshui hummed softly, and said, "It looks...very peaceful here."

Sheng Jian smiled and said, "Let me guess, do you all think that I live in a dark and gloomy cave, or there is a big pot that boils black soup?"

Hua Zhaoshui couldn't help laughing, and finally looked relaxed, pointing to the group of lambs, said: "Are those real sheep?"

Sheng Jian hummed slightly: "Go and have a look in the backyard."

When they walked around to the back, they saw a lotus pond. There were not many lotus flowers, and they could see a few beautiful white swans.

Hua Zhaoshui exclaimed, and immediately went to look at those peach trees, and said in surprise: "Can peach blossoms and lotus blossoms bloom at the same time?"

Sheng Jianwei said, "It's fine with me."

Hua Zhaoshui looked up at him for a while, and said, "You don't look like a wizard."

"Then what am I like?"

Hua Zhaoshui stared at him and thought for a while, but couldn't describe it, so she said, "It's hard to say."

Sheng Jianwei said: "You can wander around as you like, but don't enter the surrounding dense forest. Without me, there will be a poisonous miasma. As long as you go in, you will die."

Hua Zhaoshui looked around, and found that these dense forests surrounded them tightly, and there was no other way to go.

He wanted to find a way to go back and escape when this person was unawares, but it seemed that no one could get out of this place except the wizard himself.

"Then what if I accidentally enter by mistake? Will I die too?" Hua Zhaoshui asked suddenly.

Sheng Jianwei slightly raised his eyebrows, and said, "You won't break in by mistake." After speaking, he suddenly looked closer into his eyes: "You will only break in on purpose. But this poisonous miasma doesn't have eyes. .”

Hua Zhaoshui was frightened by his approach and staggered back a step, and immediately pretended to be calm and said: "Didn't you say that I am your sacrifice. If the sacrifice dies, do you still have to find another one? But You said you only need one, but you can’t break your promise.”

Sheng Jianwei seemed to think he was very interesting, stroked his hair slowly, and said with a smile: "Save your cleverness, this is the first day, if you want to lie to me, you can take your time." .”

"Let's go," Sheng Jianwei said, holding his shoulders, "show you your new home."

Sitting in his new room, Hua Zhaoshui was still a little dazed. He felt that this wizard really didn't look like the same kind of monsters who cut their hearts out.This wizard looks decent, and he lives in a decent place, and Hua Zhaoshui still has no way of judging whether he is that kind of villain or not based on the short time we have been together today.

He lived peacefully for a few days, with nothing to do all day long, and soon got bored, and began to climb up and down, and already broke several small peach trees that had just grown.

This day, he was going to attack the tallest peach tree again. He was just halfway up when he was hugged down from behind. He screamed in fright and sat on his arm without breaking free. .

After realizing it, Mr. Hua Zhaoshui got angry and said, "What are you doing, you said I can walk around here freely, why are you scaring me?"

Sheng Jianwei bumped him on purpose, and said, "You have already damaged three of my peach trees, and you have scared the swans from entering the pond. I said you can move around as you like, but I didn't say you can wreak havoc."

Hua Zhaoshui was afraid of falling off, so she hugged his neck tightly, and said unconvinced: "But there's nothing fun here, I'm bored."

"Treasure the days when you have nothing to do." Sheng Jianwei helped him by the waist, looked at him and said, "Don't cry when I find you something to do."

Before Hua Zhaoshui could understand, her eyes were covered suddenly, and when she could see again, she was already in a dark room, and she was sitting on a large wooden chair.

Sheng Jianwei lit the candle, so that he could see that the room was full of taut red threads, intricately intertwined, which looked a little weird under the dim light.

Hua Zhaoshui wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that he couldn't move, and he panicked. He looked down and saw that his hands and feet were tightly tied to the chair by the same red thread. He struggled a few times, and his waist, abdomen and chest were also bound At this moment, he is like being wrapped in a silkworm cocoon, and also like a prey falling on a spider's web.

"You...why did you tie me up?" The room was a bit gloomy, and compared with the paradise outside, it was even more terrifying, Hua Zhaoshui was a little scared, and asked him bravely, "Why did you tie me up here? Is it because I broke your peach tree?"

"I need something," Sheng Jianwei rubbed his fingertips against his cheek, and said, "It won't kill you, it just hurts a little, bear with it."

As soon as the words were spoken here, Hua Zhaoshui felt the red thread on his body as if it was going to be strangled into his flesh. He opened his mouth and panted with difficulty, and suddenly there was a tingling pain on his wrist, as if a sharp needle had pierced a blood vessel. The sharp pain immediately made him break into a cold sweat.

Hua Zhaoshui groaned twice, unbearably trying to escape, but Naihe was restrained so tightly that he could only stretch and curl his fingers.

The pain didn't fade away with the passage of time. Instead, it seemed to be climbing up his forearm. It didn't take long for him to tremble with pain, and he wailed, "It hurts... what is this..."

Sheng Jianwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It will be fine soon."

But Hua Zhaoshui screamed, hit his chest with his head, and begged: "Please, it hurts so much... I don't dare...don't dare to do more damage, let me go..."

Sheng Jianwei stared at his arm, ignoring his begging, seeing the red line getting brighter and brighter, and only reaching out to hook the red line on his wrist when he heard his cry of pain had a shrill ending. , with a slight effort, the red thread that entangled him disappeared.

Hua Zhaoshui hadn't recovered yet, she leaned against his arms and trembled, with tears all over her face.

Sheng Jianwei stroked his hair and said with a smile, "It's all right, good boy."

There were no scars on his body, but Hua Zhaoshui still had lingering fears. She was stroked to comfort her by her hair, and she leaned against the other person's arms with a look of dependence, but she thought bitterly in her heart: Wait until I find the one who went out. Road, pour the burning powder on you!Turn you into a baked sweet potato!
