Chapter 43 I'm at a loss for words, you win
He clearly remembered that he slept on the floor, could it be that...
[I sleepwalked and climbed up here? And I slept on the inside?]
He looked up at "Mo Yu" who was still "sleeping soundly" and breathed a sigh of relief.
[I have to go down quickly before he wakes up.]
After saying that, he gently took his legs away from "Mo Yu"'s body, then climbed up and planned to step over him.
But just as he crossed his right leg, a chuckle came from above his head: "Haha, it's not enough to hold me to sleep, are you going to offer yourself?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Xiaoyun froze instantly, and his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a ripe tomato.
After hearing the word "sacrifice" from Tan Tai Lie's mouth, he subconsciously looked down and saw that his current posture was extremely awkward.
Her right leg had already crossed over, and her whole body seemed to be riding on Tan Tai Lie. This posture looked ambiguous no matter how you looked at it.
His back was stiff, slightly hunched as if his spine had been pulled out, and his upper body leaned back in panic, as if he was trying his best to distance himself from the other person.
He was so stiff as if he was under a spell, he stopped there awkwardly, neither up nor down, with embarrassment written all over every finger and every limb.
"Hehehe, I said I want to get out of bed, do you believe it?" he asked with an awkward smile.
The corners of Tan Tai Lie's mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc, and he said with a deliberately stern face: "I don't believe it."
Tang Xiaoyun was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she quickly got off him and stood still before hastily explaining, "It's true. I don't know why I ended up in bed with you last night. I really don't have that kind of intention towards you."
Tan Tai Lie also got out of bed and dressed at this time. Seeing him hurriedly distancing himself from the matter, he wanted to tease him: "I didn't mean that. Why are you clinging to me like an octopus?"
"I, um, &@%＃..."
[I am at a loss for words. You win. I can't refute you.]
After all, it was a fact that his legs were wrapped around him, and it was undeniable.
Hearing this, Dan Tai Lie raised a wicked smile, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xiaoyun deliberately.
That expression seemed to be saying "Let's see how you can quibble", which made Tang Xiaoyun even more at a loss as to how to refute.
Outside the door, Cui'e waited for a long time but heard no movement from inside the house. She knocked on the door again and said, "Breakfast is on the table. Grandpa and I are going to the market today. After you have breakfast..."
“Crack!”
The door opened from the inside and Tan Tai Lie walked out first.
"Miss Cui'e, please don't have breakfast. We are in a hurry to get on with our journey."
Tang Xiaoyun also came out of the house at this time and said in line with Tan Tai Lie's words: "Yes, we still have important things to do. Thank you for yesterday."
A look of disappointment flashed across Cui'e's eyes, but she still tried to persuade him, "But it's already..."
She turned her head to look at the steaming food on the table, and finally sighed helplessly.
The village chief hadn't seen Cui'e come out for a long time, so he walked back and asked, "Cui'e, why aren't you leaving yet..."
Seeing Tang Xiaoyun and the other two were stunned, he hurriedly asked, "Why don't you two sleep a little longer?"
Hearing this, a gentle expression appeared on Tan Tai Lie's face. He said, "We still have things to do. We're sorry to bother you."
"Well, you have to have breakfast before you leave," said the village chief.
"I won't have breakfast. It's already late." When Tan Tai Lie said this, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Tang Xiaoyun who was standing beside him.
When Tang Xiaoyun received Tan Tai Lie's gaze, he blushed immediately. He said that he was the one who was investigating the mastermind behind the incident, and he was also the one who slept in.
"In that case, I won't force you to stay, but you can take these with you for the journey."
After saying that, the village chief found a cloth bag, put the white flour buns and cooked potatoes on the table into the bag, and stuffed it into Tang Xiaoyun's arms.
Tan Tai Lie glanced at the bulging cloth bag and said gratefully, "Thank you very much. I'll say goodbye now."
"Goodbye."
After saying goodbye to the village chief, the two men left the village chief's house.
Cui'e chased to the gate of the yard, held on to the door frame, her eyes full of loss.
She was at the age of a young girl in love, and since Tan Tai Lie was so handsome, it was normal for her to be so obsessed with him.
Seeing this, the village chief sighed and said, "Girl, take the key and let's go to the market."
"…good."
After leaving the village, the two came to a purple bamboo forest, where two forked roads appeared in the open space.
The one on the left goes north to Green Forest Village, and the one on the right goes back.
Tang Xiaoyun stopped and pointed to the road on the left and said to "Mo Yu," "Brother Mo, if you follow this road for a hundred miles, you will reach Green Forest Village. I cherish your friendship. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, I will definitely have a drink with you. I owe you this drink in advance."
Hearing this, Tan Tai Lie chuckled in his heart and said: Fool, going to the Green Forest Village is just a cover.
"I never like to owe favors to others, and conversely, I don't like others to owe me favors. Since you owe me a drink, why not wait for another day? Let's fulfill this favor today." Tan Tai Lie said with a smile.
Tang Xiaoyun was stunned and said sarcastically, "This guy really knows how to take advantage of others. I was just being polite!"
"Brother Mo, it's not that I don't keep my promise, it's just that I have something very important to do."
"Then wait until you finish your work, then you can treat me to a drink." After saying that, Tan Tai Lie raised his leg and walked towards the road on the right.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaoyun hurriedly followed and asked, "Aren't you going north?"
"It's not too late to go after drinking the wine you offered me." Tan Tai Lie said as he walked.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun rolled his eyes towards the sky: [This guy, was he born in a wine jar? ]
"Forget it. Since he's not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry? At least I have someone to talk to on the road so I won't be too lonely."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked through the bamboo forest and came to a village full of thatched houses. They needed to go to Linbian Town, and crossing this small village was the shortest way.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they realized something was wrong.
Quiet.
It was eerily quiet.
There was not a single person in the village.
When the two entered the village, in addition to seeing clothes scattered all over the ground, they could also see dried corpses that had been drained of their energy.
There was not a single survivor in the entire village!
Tang Xiaoyun looked at those mummies, and his mind suddenly emerged with the day when Elder Yuqing was sucked dry of his essence by the big devil and turned into a mummy at the Jiuyaotai Sect Competition.
The mummies before him were exactly the same as the ones he saw that day.
"How could this happen? The whole village is dead?"
[Who else but the great devil could suck a living person like this?]
When Tan Tai Lie heard this, his brows furrowed. He had been with Tang Xiaoyun these days, so how could he have the time to come here and massacre the village?
"Do you believe that this was done by Tan Tai Lie?"
Tang Xiaoyun was stunned and said uncertainly, "I don't know. Although I have personally seen the big devil kill people in this way, from what I understand, he wouldn't be so cruel as to massacre an entire village to vent his anger."
Hearing this, Tan Tai Lie's expression finally softened a bit. He nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across his eyes. "There must be something fishy going on here. Let's get out of here first."
"good."
