As the setting sun fell, insects cried everywhere.

It was during the dog days, and the hot weather did not relieve even if it entered the night.

The courtyard next to the village’s well suddenly lit up. Yan Chen got up from the wooden bed with some annoyance, threw the pu fan in his hand, and pulled the slippers to the stone trough in the courtyard, beside the large water tank. Here is the water from the newly drilled well today.

Yan Chen is naked, with a bronze complexion and very strong muscle lines. He has just passed his eighteenth birthday, and his eyebrows and eyes have revealed a man's resilience. Because of long-term hard work, he exudes abstinence. breath.

A basin of water drenched from head to toe, and the big pants that had been loose were immediately wet against the body.

With the coolness brought by the cold water, Yan Chen became more energetic, but he also remembered that he had forgotten to take off his pants, and hurriedly put down the water basin, and took off the soaked pants.

Yan Chen frowned and raised his hand to wring out the pants. At this moment, there was a light footstep behind him.

"Chen'er?" The sweet voice softly penetrated into Yan Chen's ears.

Yan Chen couldn't help but trembles all over, turned around subconsciously, lowered his head, and respectfully called out: "Aunt Qiu..."

Mo Qiuying smiled lightly, and the two pear vortexes at the corners of her mouth had boundless charm, and raised her hands to close the broken hair around her ears, and her slender arms were white in the moonlight.

Yan Chen raised her eyes and was surprised to find that she, who was extremely conservative and virtuous, was wearing only a cool shirt at the moment.Yan Chen swallowed involuntarily, his throat moved up and down, making a grunt.

Mo Qiuying is Yanchen’s wife by seniority, her age is unknown, she looks like she is about 30, and she has a sweet voice. She thinks that the name of the teacher is not good, so she changed her name to Qiuyi. Master is very fond of her. , It will follow.

Yan Chen's cheeks were red, the roots of his ears were hot, and some of his hands were at a loss.

Mo Qiuying couldn't see the strangeness of Yan Chen, she always treated Yan Chen as a child, but she didn't expect...

"Bad boy, he has grown into a man," Mo Qiuying chuckled softly, "Don't stand stupidly, go back to sleep, I just came out to take a look at the sound in the courtyard... By the way, your master When you leave, tell me to give you something on your eighteenth birthday, and I will take it for you tomorrow."

After speaking, Mo Qiuying turned and returned to the house first.

Yan Chen stared at her back for a long time, unable to return to his senses.

The Aunt Qiu in his impression has always been conservative and gentle. No matter how hot the day is, she always wears high-necked clothes and trousers. Although she speaks very softly, she never makes jokes with others. , Even the master respected her very much and never acted intimately with her in person.

But just now, she actually spoke to him in a joking tone.

It's like a different person!

Yan Chen calmed down in the yard for a while before turning back to the room, but as soon as Mo Qiuying appeared in his mind, the whole person became even hotter.

As soon as the sky fell outside the window, Yan Chen went to the mountain to do morning work.

It was not until the sun came out that Yan Chen brought a pheasant back to the yard. He used to make chicken soup for his wife when the master was there. During the eight years of learning skills, Yan Chen also learned a lot of chef's cooking skills.

Six months ago, Master received a carrier pigeon and went down the mountain, saying that he would not be able to return for a while, and the care of his wife fell to Yan Chen as it should be.

Yan Chen finished the breakfast, and then took her to the door of the teacher. Mo Qiuying has always had the habit of sleeping late, but every day Yan Chen called her to her, she would also respond briefly.

"Aunt Qiu?"

There was no sound in the room today, and Yan Chen was a little confused. He called for a few more times, but still did not answer. He pushed the door in without much thought.

The room was cleaned up and there was no one in it.

Yan Chen put the chicken soup on the table, frowning suspiciously, Aunt Qiu went out so early?This was really the first time he saw him.

But at this moment, Yan Chen heard a strange whistle sound, a trace of panic flashed from the bottom of his eyes, Yan Chen hurriedly rushed out of the door, then the voice rang again, Yan Chen confirmed that the voice came from the back of the village From the Black Swamp Forest.

And this sound is the unique cry of a strange bird raised by Mo Qiuying.

She went to the Black Marsh Forest!There was a forbidden place full of poisons. No one in the village dared to approach it. From a distance, the forest was enveloped by a black mist, whether it was cloudy or sunny, and there were often terrifying beasts.

However, according to legend, there are many rare and exotic grasses in the black marsh forest, and many foreigners come here admiringly, regardless of the local villagers' persuasion to enter, and there is no news.

Yan Chen suddenly remembered what Mo Qiuying had said last night. Master left something for her to give him...

Is it a human face flower?!

Yan Chen was shocked. He had no father and no mother since he was young. He was fortunate to be taken in by his master after wandering for a long time. He has a strange pattern on his back, which spreads as he grows older. Later, he learned that Yan Chen was killed by someone. After the poisonous gu, he will die suddenly when the flowers bloom.

And the only thing that can save him is a plant called the human face flower, which can be relieved by eating the middle-gu person when he grows up.

It's just that this kind of flower not only has extremely strict requirements for the growth environment, but also mature human face flowers will attack like animals, which is very dangerous.

Yan Chen didn't think much anymore, returned to the room, took a dagger, and ran to the Black Marsh Forest.

As soon as he entered the boundary of the black marsh forest, Yan Chen found Mo Qiuying's footprints. The ground of the black marsh forest had a layer of soft black mud with varying depths, which was very likely to lead people into the swamp. Not only that, Yan Chen also found another series of huge beast footprints not far from Mo Qiuying's footprints. It seemed that it was very likely that they followed Mo Qiuying.

Yan Chen hurriedly quickened his pace, squeezing the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time.

I don't know how long it took, the footprints turned messy in front of a bush and disappeared, but the footprints of the beast were still there, and it looked like it was running.

Yan Chen did not dare to delay for a moment, and continued to chase the beast's footprints to the depths of the black marsh forest. As the fog in the forest thickened, the air gradually filled with the smell of silk. Yan Chen only felt that the fragrance made him a little headache. I'm afraid I can't stay here for too long.

At this moment, a loud and sharp bird song sounded again, not far away!

Yan Chen rushed away with a burst of bloody air!

"Aunt Qiu!"

Finally, beside a black pool, Yan Chen found Mo Qiuying's figure. She collapsed on a large rock, her whole body covered with scars and shocking, her eyes closed tightly, her sword still dripping blood.

Behind her by the black pool, a huge black lion had its throat cut and one end plunged into the pool. Its limbs were still twitching. The strange thing was that there was no blood under it.

Yan Chen suddenly discovered that a plant had plunged into the black lion's wound, as if it was sucking something hard. Almost the next second, the plant suddenly "bombed" and pulled out from the wound, with a bud-like head. The blood spread out into four petals, and there was a face in the center!Slowly turned to him...
