Chapter 20: Chapter 20
Cold wind poured in through the open door, and the sound of rain gradually subsided.
The seasonal fish on the bed looked towards the man who walked in from the night wind, his scarlet-colored robe was lifted by the night wind, and his long black hair tumbled endlessly.
The candle flame flickered in the wind, sometimes hidden and sometimes bright, making her unable to see the complexion of the man's face clearly, the only thing she could tell from the soaring dangerous aura was that he was now in an extremely unpleasant mood, and even the night wind was a little bit afraid of it, carefully circling around him.
For some reason, Ji Yu wanted to laugh, and actually laughed in an untimely manner.
Jiang Ruiqiu a foot will be left on the ground that cut off the withered grass crushed, seems to be still not hate, flung his sleeve wave, the debris into dust, with the wind out, floating in the gradual rest of the rain curtain.
Dust to dust, earth to earth.
He walked to the front of the bed, probed his arm to pick up the weak and feeble person on the bed, and asked nervously, "Mother, not scared?"
"No." Ji Yu naturally wrapped her arms around his neck and steadied herself.
When she reacted to what she had done, her complexion slightly paused, but she didn't let go and inclined her head, looking out the door into the endless night, asking, "How is it outside?"
Jiang Ruiqiu hugged her and sat down, seeing that her lips were dry, he poured a cup of water with his free hand and fed it to her, casually saying, "It's fine, there are no dead people."
This last sentence, he specifically said for her to hear, knowing that she cared about the life and death of those villagers.
Ji Yu drank half a cup of warm water right from his hand, a smile appeared on her face and said, "Jiang Ruqiu, thank you."
Jiang Ruqiu pursed his lips, confirmed that she was fine, and carefully put her back on the bed, wrapping her in the quilt.
With a casual wave of his hand, the cavernous door closed.
Looking still not too happy, he touched her slightly cool face and said, "Mother, it seems that in the future I should not move an inch from you."
Ji fish inclined his head to look at him, suddenly reached out and touched the end of his wet hair, this demonic evil went out for a trip, did not hold an umbrella, hair wet most of the time.
She reached out and brought a clean handkerchief from the bed, wiping away the water droplets on his hair.
Her movements were very gentle, gentle, focused on wiping his hair.
Jiang Ruiqiu's gloomy face revealed a few moments of bewilderment, it was difficult to reject this kind of warmth, and the pair of eyes that were as black as cold jade erupted with surprise.
His gaze became eager, imploring to look at her, at this time where there is still any gloomy anger.
When she dried the water droplets on his hair and was about to withdraw her hand, he held that hand tightly.
"Mother ..."
Ji Yu's face was slightly hot, wanting to pull her hand back, however, his grip was extremely tight, and then looking at his eyes staring at himself, full of joy, in the end, she did not insist anymore.
She coughed lightly, her tone is still gentle: "Jiang Ruqiu, even if you are husband and wife, you can't be with you all the time, you're already very good, you don't have to be like this."
Jiang Ruqiu was in the middle of being happy, and immediately said at his words, "This can't be done, wherever my mother is, I'll be there."
As a demonic evil, he had the capital to be capricious, the human set wasn't practical on him.
Ji Fish: "..." It felt as if he couldn't understand human language.
Although the pressure was a bit high, but Young Master Ji still met it with a stable mental state instead of ignoring it.
She said, "If, I am truly a husband and wife with you ..."
"We are the husband and wife." Jiang Ruiqiu looked at her warily, "My lady, we are a married couple who have worshipped, don't you recognize it?"
Ji Yu: "... That's not true."
Jiang Ruqiu then breathed a sigh of relief, although he was a demon, he also knew the reasoning of the different paths of man and demon, letting a person accept that he was a couple with a demon was indeed difficult for a strong person.
If the heart is not strong enough, I am afraid that sooner or later will go crazy.
Even if you don't go crazy, you won't be able to eat at the same table or sleep in the same bed with a demon, so I'm afraid that in the day-to-day fear and despair, it's either you or me.
This was the reason why he had specially set a human identity for himself.
Unfortunately, he could tamper with the memories of all mortals, only not hers.
Fortunately, his maiden was a girl with a lot of guts, and from the first meeting, although she was defensive and suspicious, she did not panic and desperately denied their marriage and refused his approach.
Jiang Ruiqiu was satisfied with this.
It was just that there were some things that not only would the human heart fall short and give birth to more greed, but demons and evils were not exempt from it.
Compared to humans who are bound by morality and jurisprudence, demons and evils are cruel, greedy and lustful, and their desires are hard to fill, and it is still not enough to get close to her, but they also want more, not only her joys, sorrows and happiness, but also her love and her heart.
Ji fish has been looking at him, the face is still that gentle, smooth, the corners of the lips slightly curved, so that her pale and tired face added a few points of flawless, pure.
Like an immortal who fell into the mortal world, pure and beautiful.
She opened her mouth and said, "Jiang Ruqiu, if you don't mind that my sick bones are a drag, then we'll be husband and wife."
Jiang Ruqiu seemed to freeze, and that demonic face looked a bit foolish.
But in a moment, he reacted, surprised and happy, "Really?"
Ji Yu nodded with a smile, not only did she say so, she also did so, moving closer towards him, her lips gently landing on his face, a touch away.
In that instant, those ink-jade eyes were jaw-droppingly wide, tinted with an ominous crimson color, demonic and terrifying, frightening.
Ji Yu blushed and backed away, and when she realized that his alabaster-like face surfaced with hidden crimson demonic patterns, her complexion slightly paused, and she didn't say anything, but just smiled and looked at him.
-
Throughout the night, Jiang Ruiqiu was somewhat out of sorts.
On the contrary, Ji Yu, because she was still sick, quickly fell back to sleep peacefully after the rain outside stopped.
The next day, Ji Yu woke up to the sound of a rooster crowing, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of demonic eyes that were as red as blood, and even though she had always been fearless in danger, she was startled, and she almost offered up the Flame Devouring Golden Bead to kill the demon.
Her heart was beating so fast that her heart was aching.
She held back the pain in her body, and with a calm expression on her face, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ruiqiu noticed the flickering look of patience between her brows and asked nervously, "Mother, is your body not feeling well? Where does it hurt?"
Saying this, he wrapped her into his arms and carefully inspected her.
The warm breath wrapped around her cold body, and it seemed that even the pain was much lighter.
This is not an illusion, this period of time with him day and night, Ji fish has already noticed, every time with him close, the pain of the body will be reduced a lot, seems to be suppressed, no longer painful to sleep and eat.
These days, is also her long so big, the most relaxed time.
Although it is drinking hemlock to quench her thirst, but it is really fond of.
Ji fish converge the deep thoughts in his eyes, face smiled and said, "Nothing, just ... how could your eyes be like this?"
She looked at his reddish, demonic eyes, and although she wasn't quite used to it, she looked at him squarely, without fear, or ignoring him.
Jiang Ruiqiu frankly said, "For my husband is really too excited, some can't control it."
Ji Yu: "... "Can't control it, is this about demonization?
After understanding what he was excited about, she was also a bit embarrassed and coughed lightly without saying anything else.
After dawn, the group of people once again set off on their journey.
Last night there was a torrential rain, the ground was muddy, a puddle, the mountain scenery was like a wash, the grass was washed by the heavy rain more and more verdant and green.
Ji Yu sat in the car and lifted the curtain to look out.
Because last night's rain stopped in time, did not cause flooding, the fields have not yet planted crops, looking around, like a pond full of water, there are a lot of villagers are releasing water, ready to turn the ground, to be a few days, is the time of spring plowing.
Looking at this ordinary and simple scene, season fish and remembered last night's water ghost.
That water ghost is not a ghost in this neighborhood, taking advantage of the rainstorm to come, the target should be themselves.
She was not surprised by this.
Since she was a child, she was particularly prone to attracting ghosts and demons, for this reason, her grandmother had been reluctant to let her go out, and even if she did go out, she would make proper arrangements.
Although she was the young master of the Ji family, she didn't have many opportunities to go out and practice.
In the past, those demons either coveted her body, or wanted to kill her, only last night's water ghost, was the first to say "curse".
Curse?
If there really was a curse, she did understand her grandmother's attitude over the years, if the curse was truly irreversible, she was only afraid that there should be something inside the marriage contract between her and Jiang Ruqiu.
"Mother, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang Ruqiu's voice rang out, Ji Yu looked up and saw the person who was almost close to her face, their breath mingling with each other's.
She subconsciously stepped back, yet with her back against the wall of the car, there was no way to retreat.
"Niangzi." Jiang Ruiqiu propped his hands on the wall of the car behind her, his complexion had a bit of a grudge, "You dislike me?"
Ji Yu: "... No."
"You clearly dislike me." Jiang Ruiqiu became more and more sad, "If not, why do you even have to avoid suspicion for my husband to get close?"
Isn't this unaccustomed?
Ji Yu thought in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, saying gently, "Sorry, it won't happen again."
Jiang Ruiqiu was then happy, his body getting closer and closer to her, mingling each other's breaths, and those cold jade-like black eyes were tinted with crimson again, making people look at them and get chills.
"Mother, what were you thinking just now, so focused?" Jiang Ruiqiu asked again.
Ji fish didn't hide it, and murmured, "Last night that water ghost had mentioned the curse of Ji's daughter ..."
