In the dream, Ling Chang's clothes seemed to be even whiter, and the scene in the dream was in a beautiful sea of ​​flowers, with bright sunshine, blooming flowers, blue sky and white clouds, birds, butterflies and bees everywhere, as if it were a paradise.

"I haven't seen you in my dreams for a long time. Why do you feel like keeping me company in my dreams tonight?" I asked.

Lingshang walked towards me with light steps, just looked at me and said, "Zhou Lang, I have no right to interfere with your decision, but the evil spirit is growing, and your choice is particularly important. I think you should not hide anything from Yunwen, otherwise it will become more and more troublesome in the future. This is why I asked you to come to talk in my dream tonight."

I lowered my head in thought, but I remembered Yunwen's decision last time. She knew that she was the one who brought the danger, so she couldn't stand the condemnation of her conscience and fought alone, not wanting to implicate us. She has always been a kind girl, and now the war has finally stopped. I don't want her to fall into a dilemma again, and finally make some stupid decision, leaving herself isolated and helpless.

"I will tell her when the time comes. And you tell me, has the evil spirit in the mountain arrived yet? After all, when I picked up Bai Lu tonight, I did encounter a lot of strange phenomena, so I really want to know if it is related to the evil spirit in the mountain." I asked.

She sighed and nodded, but then shook her head and said, "Those are just things that Song Bailu summoned herself with a special sacrificial method. They are just some shallow things. Although they are the same, they are very different. The real evil spirits are not so easy to deal with. Especially the ones there, they came from ancient times, born from accumulated resentment, and gained life by gathering residual souls. After thousands of years, they have become a disaster. If they come, all living beings will suffer, and there will be no way out of life and death."

"It's like that, but they are still shallow things? But I remember that those shallow and dark things are afraid of the light on the Golden Que Sword. They are born in darkness, so they should be afraid of light, right?" I asked.

Ling Shang shook her head and said, "They are not afraid of light. I don't know much about this either. I need to explore nearby to find out."

I slept very coldly that night. Although I was covered with a cashmere quilt and there were people next to me, I just couldn't stay warm. I didn't sleep well all night. I slept very lightly. When I woke up, I felt dizzy and even more tired than the night before. I got up and saw that it was still early and dim outside, but Ling Shang had disappeared long ago.

The fox tribe had to go to the mountains to gather energy early in the morning. I didn't think much about it, but I didn't expect that Bai Lu was not in the room either. When I mentioned her, I couldn't help but think of the horrible things that happened last night. I shuddered unconsciously. Where did she go so early in the morning? She usually got up when the sun rose to prepare food, but it was not yet time, and there was no sound of her moving downstairs.

Could it be that he went out of the city again?

I felt a little uneasy, so I got up and planned to go outside to look for her. However, as soon as I got up, I saw Yunwen shivering and her teeth chattering. It seemed that it was not just me. Yunwen was also suffering from the cold and felt cold. Although it was already late autumn, it was definitely not that cold. Besides, the cashmere quilt was very warm. I felt too hot just the day before. How come it was no longer able to keep me warm after just one day? It was really strange.

I took Yunwen's own coat from the iron hanger in the room and helped cover her with it. I touched her pretty face, which felt a little cold at the moment. When I was about to move away, I saw Yunwen suddenly put her hand on the back of my hand. I thought she woke up, but she just subconsciously wanted to keep my hand. She leaned her face to the side, and her face rested on my hand. It seemed to make her feel much more comfortable, and I couldn't bear to let go.

At that time, there was a noise coming from the window. I knew without looking that it was Ling Shang who came back. She always liked to come into the house through the second-floor window.

"Eat this quickly." Hu Lingshang handed me a leaf with a lot of sticky stuff on it.

"What, what is this?" I asked in surprise.

"The venom of the red demon spider." Ling Shang said.

I coughed. It was such a strong food so early in the morning. Not only did it sound like vomiting up leftover food, my stomach couldn't take it.

"What am I going to eat this for?" I asked.

"Zhou Lang, eat this, and you will not be coveted in the area where evil spirits are. They will not be able to detect your breath. Otherwise, if you go there alive, you will die." Ling Shang said.

"Okay, I'll eat after my meal. Also, I have to finish arranging today's tasks before I can go there with you to explore and see how to guard against those things and what measures I should take to prevent them from coming. This will subtly solve the trouble for Yunwen, and she won't have to worry about it and keep it in her mind every day." I said.

Ling Shang nodded with a smile and went out of the house first.

Not long after, Yunwen woke up. She looked tired like me and obviously didn't sleep well. We talked for a while and then packed up and went downstairs. When we got downstairs, we saw the backyard door was opened and Bailu came in from outside. Her face was pale, with particularly obvious dark circles under her eyes. She looked listless. When she saw us, she didn't say anything.

When the three of us met, none of us said much. Yunwen had always looked down on her, and I was frightened by her last night, so when the three of us met, no one spoke. Yunwen and I went outside to wash up, brewed tea leaves in a silver wine pot, chewed some willow branches, and then rinsed our mouths with the tea, which made our mouths smell much fresher. We then washed our faces, made some foam with soap beans, and shaved our faces with a dagger, shaving off all the clumps of beard. We felt much more refreshed.

After returning to the house, she saw Bai Lu sitting motionless on the dining chair, so Yunwen asked, "What? You lost the game and you don't even do the housework?"

Bai Lu looked unhappy, but then she muttered to herself, "It's okay, it's okay. She has always relied on Brother Zhou Bo's favor to look down on her. Let's not bother with her."

So she walked to the kitchen and started to cook properly. Yunwen and I looked at each other and both realized the weirdness in this. So Yunwen walked to Bailu and helped her out. She also asked, "Song Bailu, it's not that serious, is it? It's just a loss in a competition. Why are you like crazy?"

She looked at Yunwen, her eyes dull and her hair disheveled, looking like a human but not a ghost, and said, "Mind your own business, you jinx."

"Why does the way you speak remind me of Song Yingchun?" Yunwen asked.

"That's right...my sister is right next to you, and she asked me to convey this message, hahaha." Song Bailu said.

"Enough! Song Bailu, stop saying these crazy things. If you really want to find your sister, I will send you to the castle area immediately so that you sisters can see each other every day. If you are still so mentally insane, I am afraid that I will not give you all other important tasks. After all, a madman is not worthy of my entrustment. Do you hear me?" I said.

This time Song Bailu shut up. She looked terrified, and this reaction was similar to what I usually saw.

Then, Yunwen and Bailu started to cook some dishes. The breakfast was not too complicated, with steamed buns, pickles and some leftover dishes from last night. Those dishes were put together on a plate and steamed before eating. There were also two giant shrimps, fish, potatoes, etc., so the meal was quite satisfactory. After the three of them finished their meal, I also started to arrange today's tasks. The two of them also kept their habit and sat at the dining table waiting.

"Winter is coming soon, and food will be even more scarce in winter. If there are only four of us, those potatoes will be more than enough to get us through the winter. But now we still have to think about the hyenas. Relying on hunting for food is dangerous and precarious after all. So in addition to planting, we have to store more food for everyone to survive the winter. So today's tasks are as follows, Bailu, you are still responsible for all the chores in the courtyard of the post station, and I will ask your two kitchen helpers to help you later. Yunwen, you will be mainly responsible for the design of the blacksmith shop and the management of the black market. Try to get more seafood with the designed items, and then find a way to pickle it." I said.

The two girls nodded.

"What about you?" Yunwen asked.

"I'm going out for a while. The six male hyenas working in the blacksmith shop and mining are at your disposal, and the rest can be used to guard the city gate." I said.

Then, we each prepared to go out. Yunwen and I went out at the same time. When we got outside, I whispered to Yunwen, "Be careful with Bailu. Try not to be alone with her."

Yunwen nodded, then she took Sanfu with her, and we went our separate ways.
