Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 451 What to do when your genius senior brother is determined to die? (17)

This time, Si Yi didn't rush. The two walked along a secluded and narrow path for a while, and then a large flat area suddenly appeared in front of them, with a dozen or so low houses that were close together.

Zhao Zhao could clearly sense that Si Yi's interest had increased considerably. She saw him staring intently at the houses where warm yellow light shone from the small windows, a strange smile playing on his lips, as he slowly put away the Phoenix Cry Sword.

The eerie wilderness, coupled with the sinister Si Yi, made Zhao Zhao take a step back. She felt as if she had stepped on something, and then a withered hand landed on her shoulder.

"Young master, why are you still out so late?"

A gust of cold wind swept by, and an old, hoarse voice sounded behind Zhao Zhao. His body stiffened, and he felt an intense chill behind him.

He turned his head inch by inch, startled by the suddenly magnified, aged face before him.

"Ah!" He jumped behind Si Yi and exclaimed, "Senior brother is up to no good! Help!"

Si Yi smiled normally, turned around and looked at Zhao Zhao gently, saying, "Zhao Zhao, don't be rude." Her tone was affectionate, as if she were scolding her ignorant younger brother.

Then he turned around, put on a respectable air, gave a slight bow to the old woman who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm just a timid and ignorant person, please forgive me."

"Hehehe, it's nothing."

Hiding behind Si Yi, Zhao Zhao felt a strange sense of security. His mood gradually calmed down. Out of curiosity, he peeked out from behind Si Yi and took a closer look. He found that the person standing in front of them was an old woman who looked to be about seventy years old.

Her eyes were sunken and her skin was loose. She carried a huge basket on her thin back. For some reason, looking at her, Zhao Zhao automatically pictured a skeleton, which was extremely eerie.

His sixth sense told him that something was wrong with this person, and something was even more wrong with this place.

At this moment, the old woman's voice rang out again. She said warmly, "The evening breeze is a little chilly, and there is no one around for miles. If you gentlemen do not mind, you may stay at my humble abode for the night."

She smiled and pointed to the houses that appeared in front of her. Zhao Zhao tugged at Si Yi's sleeve, about to refuse, when Si Yi suddenly said, "Then I'll trouble you."

I rely on!

What are you doing!

Zhao Zhao frantically tried to wink at Si Yi, but Si Yi didn't even glance at him, focusing instead on talking to the old woman.

It was nothing more than ordinary everyday talk, and Zhao Zhao had no interest in listening. She looked up and suddenly met Si Yi's lowered gaze.

His slightly anxious heart was soothed by a single glance. After all, the person in front of them was a sword master in the Nascent Soul stage. Even if there were demons and monsters, it would be them who were afraid.

After thinking it through, Zhao Zhao had no more reservations and followed Si Yi with peace of mind, listening to the old woman introduce their village and family.

"Young masters, we have arrived."

This is an old and dilapidated little house. The color of the walls has faded and lost its former luster. Surrounded by more than a dozen other houses, it appears even more gloomy.

The house had only two small rooms. After the old woman led them into one of them, she left quietly.

Stepping inside, a faint, damp smell wafted over. Zhao Zhao followed closely behind Si Yi, silently observing the surroundings.

The furniture inside was very simple. A worn-out wooden bed was placed in the corner of one of the rooms, covered with a thin cotton quilt covered with patches. Beside the bed was a candlestick that could go out at any time.

Si Yi smiled casually at Zhao Zhao, pointed to the bed, and said, "Junior brother, aren't you tired? Go and rest."

We have to travel early tomorrow morning.

Zhao Zhao: ......

His lips twitched slightly as he said, "Stop pretending. Did you discover something? And what exactly do you want?"

Si Yi looked completely innocent: "I just felt sorry for my junior brother and wanted him to get a good night's rest."

A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and using his height and strength advantage, he pushed Zhaozhao towards the bedside.

Zhao Zhao's heart skipped a beat. When she turned around, she was horrified to see that the dilapidated little bed was crawling with all sorts of wriggling poisonous insects and snakes, and there was even a huge black hole in the middle.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

A deafening roar came from the small room. Just as Zhao Zhao was about to collapse, Si Yi finally reached out and pulled Zhao Zhao behind her.

"Junior brother, how are you feeling?"

Zhao Zhao was so frightened that her eyes turned red. Seeing that this bastard was still in the mood to laugh, she slapped him across the face.

"Si Yi! Are you fucking crazy?!"
