I must have been kidnapped.
"Brother, is this the way to go?"
The only light in the palace is from the orange lanterns along the path. For strangers who have just arrived, it is difficult to tell where to go.
He scratched his head, somewhat confused. "I remember looking at the map. The man's guest room is here. The woman can get there by crossing two palace walls. It's not far."
Leng Can tied the black cloth covering his face tightly and said, "It's okay. If you can't find it, just go back."
The two of them sneaked around again and set out on a journey to find Cong Mo. Like guilty thieves, they covered their faces with black cloth. Their movements were suspicious in themselves, and coupled with their attire, they looked both ridiculous and speechless.
But after spending half a day and searching for a long time, the two of them went around in circles and finally returned to the door of the man's residence.
"?"
"?"
They looked at each other, leaned against the wall, and tried not to laugh out loud.
"Junior brother, don't look for me anymore." Xi thought it was ridiculous. The two of them had been together for such a long time, but the only thing they had accomplished was guarding Wuqing Mountain for two years. They hadn't achieved anything else.
"I can't see Xiaomo tonight." Leng Can felt more helpless than sad.
I missed Cong Mo very much, but after this incident, I no longer had the heart to think about him.
Forget it, I have to leave sooner or later anyway.
I consider it as exercise to not see her occasionally.
"Senior Brother."
"Hmm?" He took out a candy box from his sleeve, put a piece of candy into his mouth, and then handed the candy box to him. "What's wrong?"
Leng Can picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The candy had a hint of floral fragrance, which spread in his mouth. He leaned against the wall and looked at the sky that was half blocked by the high wall. He felt extremely unhappy.
Why?
Why can't Cong Mo like him?
Why can't he sleep with Cong Mo?
He closed his eyes, suppressed the irritation in his heart, turned to look at Yu, and said, "Brother, I'm going down the mountain."
Cang: "?"
He froze in place, the candy in his mouth losing its sweetness. He looked at him and asked foolishly, "Why? Because today..."
"It has nothing to do with anyone. I was not suitable to stay in the Immortal Mountain. I can't do anything in the Immortal Mountain. I'm just a burden. It took me so long to truly admit my weakness. Twice, I put Xiaomo in danger, even though Xiaomo and Master had advised me against it." Leng Can shook his head and laughed sarcastically. "The matter of the zombies in the human world is over. The internal fighting in the Immortal Mountain has increased, and all kinds of contradictions have increased. I am not only unable to help, but also a burden. Xiaomo has woken up, and Master is here too. If a fight really breaks out, I will only waste their time taking care of me. It's better not to be there. I can't help anyway, so it's meaningless."
"No one says that, Junior Brother, you..."
"I've made up my mind." Leng Can didn't give him time to speak. "When everything was still fine, I thought about this. I am the only child of my parents. They are old, and I am no longer young and can't squander my youth at will. I have to stay with them more and mature. If I am always protected, it will be meaningless. When Xiaomo recovers her memory, I won't need to be involved in the rest of the things. I will go back to my own life. When the time comes, we will have nothing to do with each other, and I can still be happy. Xiaomo... Oh, how can she, who practices the ruthless way, remember me? If the fairy mountain is fine by then, Wuqing Mountain will no longer need to cook for itself and can restore the connection with the fairy mountain. Brother, you should be more relaxed too."
"Junior brother..." Looking at his pretending to be strong, Xi couldn't bear it. He clenched his fists but couldn't say anything.
"Brother, the moon is blocked by the high wall tonight, so I can't see it. Don't be sad. I'm just leaving, but I'm still alive. You can come and see me anytime." Leng Can moved closer to him and rested his head against his. "Also, can you keep this a secret for me?"
"Master and Xiaomo, I don't want them to know yet." Leng Can chuckled. "Those two guys who learned the ruthless way will definitely react very coldly. I can't stand any hardship. If they are too cold, I will be very sad. Who knows, I might get angry and not want to leave. After all, I really can't bear to leave."
He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and nodded slowly.
He became the first person to know the secret, and also the one who was forced to keep the secret.
He obviously hated Leng Can's departure, but he had no reason to dissuade him.
The choices you make cannot be influenced by others, and you have to bear the consequences yourself. This was the first sentence the old man taught him, and he kept it in mind.
"Go back, I'm sleepy." Li pushed his head away and went back. "Go back."
"Brother, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry... I'm just sleepy."
The next morning, after washing up and going to have breakfast, Cong Mo saw that Leng Can and Yu both had red eyes. She looked at the old man, and she saw confusion in his eyes as well.
"Are you crying?" Cong Mo served them porridge.
Leng Can shook his head first, then nodded, "I cried. Someone attacked me last night."
"?"
Cong Mo blinked, "Why are you telling me this now?"
As soon as she said that, the things Leng Can had finally forgotten started to circle in his mind again. The corners of his mouth turned down, and he couldn't hold back his tears. He put down the spoon, took a deep breath, hugged Cong Mo, and buried his head in her stomach, "Wuwu...Xiaomo, I was scared to death last night...You didn't care about me...Wuwu..."
Cong Mo's expression was dazed, he only felt the clothes on his belly were wet, he subconsciously raised his hands to hold Leng Can's head, stroking his hands up and down to comfort him, and opened his mouth to say, "Don't cry, it's all my fault."
Cang: "..."
The spoon in the old man's mouth fell out, "..."
Cong Mo's reaction has become a stress response.
"Why are you crying?" The old man finished his porridge in two mouthfuls, took a piece of dessert and sipped it, then looked at him, "Did Leng Can bully you last night?"
"No." He curled his lips and said indifferently.
The old man glanced at Cong Mo and Leng Can, and seeing the aggrieved look on his face, he thought for a moment, said nothing, and picked up the second piece of dessert.
After Cong Mo comforted Leng Can, the porridge in the bowl was only warm. Cong Mo quickly helped Leng Can sit up and fed him mouthful by mouthful with a spoon.
Leng Can leaned his head on Cong Mo's shoulder, sobbing and eating.
"Are you full?" Cong Mo also fed him his bowl, fearing that he wasn't full. "If you're not full..."
"I'm full." Leng Can hugged her arm and rubbed her, unwilling to get up.
Cong Mo was helpless and patted his back gently. "What happened last night was my negligence. I forgot to help you stick the talisman paper on the door, which is why this happened. You should have told me."
"I want to go find you." Leng Can closed his eyes and applied the talisman given by Cong Mo to his eyes, "But I can't find the way. I'm lost."
"You can call me with your spiritual consciousness."
"It was too far away, and I was feeling wronged and scared, so I forgot about it."
"Forget it." Cong Mo picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth. She finished it in two bites. Leng Can had been nestled in her arms the whole time. She had no time to eat and was very hungry. "Today was an accident. There won't be a next time. We won't be separated again."
Leng Can pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"Who are you?"
When the old man and the woman came in, the woman had already woken up. She looked at everything in a daze, but because of her weak body, she even had difficulty walking.
"If you are from the Immortal Mountain, you will know me. After all, I am well-known in the Immortal Mountain through word of mouth." The old man helped her sit up and asked.
The woman narrowed her eyes, paused for a long time, and then opened her mouth wide, "You are... Master Qingyi."
"It's me." The old man curled his lips slightly and sat down at the table. "Now you won't be wary of me anymore."
Seeing the woman relax, he placed the porridge on the table, picked up the bowl, moved over a wooden stool, and sat down next to her. "You can't lift your hands, can I feed you? This is meat porridge made by the imperial kitchen in the palace. It's delicious. You are weak and your spiritual energy has been depleted. Your stomach must be empty."
The woman blushed and nodded, "Thank you... Senior Brother Yu."
"Do you know me?"
"The silver-haired young man beside Master Qingyi is Senior Brother Xi." The woman took a sip of porridge, feeling a little better. "Even though you're wearing a hat today, I still recognized you."
"Then I can be considered quite famous."
"And there's Senior Sister Cong, who shot to fame in the Jianshan Competition." After eating something, the woman's face had turned much rosier, and she spoke with more energy. "She's amazing, she stood out in the Jianshan Competition. We all admire her very much."
She was a very lively girl, but she was harmed like this. The old man's face became more gloomy, and his voice unconsciously became heavier. "Which mountain are you from?"
The woman was frightened and looked at Xi with a look of help. Xi nodded at her, indicating that she was fine. "Master, you scared the girl."
"Ahem..." The old man came to his senses and apologized quickly, "Sorry, I was anxious for a moment."
"Nothing." The woman shook her head and took the soft biscuit handed to her by Xi. "I am a disciple of Yaoshan."
"Why aren't you wearing uniform?"
"I was wearing this." The woman looked bewildered. "I don't know why, but I was wearing this when I woke up."
"Do you still remember how you got there?" He softened his tone and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"I... wuwu..." The woman took a handkerchief and wiped away her tears. "I don't know what happened. That day, I had just finished studying pharmacology when my head started to feel dizzy. After dinner, I asked for leave and returned to the house early. I wrapped myself in a quilt, but fell asleep in a few seconds. I was awakened by a foul smell. When I opened my eyes, I saw only darkness. I found a candle and lit it, then realized that I was in a cellar. I don't know who kidnapped me and locked me up here. I was the only one in the huge cellar, and the exit was sealed. Whenever I shouted, I would hear the roar of some animal from above. I have only been in the fairy mountain for a short time and have not learned much. This sound scared me so much that I didn't dare to do anything. I could only wait for rescue in the cellar. There was very little food in the cellar, only enough for me to eat for a few days. I could only eat one meal and starve for the next. I didn't know when I could get out. I just felt that breathing was getting harder and harder. Living was getting more and more painful, and I was afraid of death."
