My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 11
byChapter 11 Chapter 11 Princess Hug
Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan followed the sound and saw a small snow-white beast about the size of a palm squatting beside the umbrella cover of the colorful mushroom.
It looks like a fox, but is much smaller than an ordinary fox. Its fur is fluffy, like a cloud, and its eyes are clear ice blue, like two pieces of ice without impurities.
At this moment, it was tilting its little head, looking curiously at the two people in trouble below with its ice-blue eyes, its big furry tail swaying slightly behind it.
Ji Hantong was shocked. The target they had been looking for for a long time actually appeared in this way at this time.
The little snow cloud fox didn’t seem to be afraid of the chaos below at all. It stood up lightly, stepped on the umbrella cover of the colorful mushroom, and called out “squeak” twice at the two people, as if to urge them.
Then it turned around and jumped to another mushroom next to it like a white stream of light. After a few ups and downs, it ran towards the depths of the mushroom forest.As he ran, he looked back, as if to see if they were following.
“It…is leading us?” Ji Hantong was a little confused.
Shen Lanchuan’s eyes narrowed and he said decisively: “Follow me.”
Staying in place will only lead to death. The sudden appearance of the Snow Cloud Fox cub is the only variable.No matter what it wants to do, it’s better than being stuck here to death.
The two of them were no longer entangled. Ji Hantong used his fingertips to create a Heavenly Thunder Technique, withstood several waves of attacks, and then followed the little white figure running wildly through the colorful mushroom maze.
The Snow Cloud Fox cub was astonishingly flexible and knew this mushroom forest as if it were at home.It ran very fast, but stopped from time to time to wait for the two people behind it. Its ice-blue eyes seemed to have a bit of… disdain for their slowness?
After wandering in the maze for an unknown amount of time, the little white figure leading the way suddenly dived down and disappeared under a dark red mushroom with a drooping cap. The two of them also followed suit.
After passing through the huge drooping cap, it suddenly opened up. It turned out to be a huge open space, and in the center of the open space was a small simple house built with vines and logs.
The little snowy cloud fox that had led them here was currently squatting on a smooth stone in front of the wooden house, combing its fluffy tail leisurely.Seeing the two people coming in, it raised its head and squeaked twice, the voice was clear and crisp, as if it was saying something.
Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan stopped and looked at this unexpected cabin warily.The door of the wooden house was closed tightly, and the windows were half-covered by vines, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
At this moment, Xiao Xueyunhu jumped down from the stone and ran to the door of the wooden house. He raised his front paws and patted the door panel lightly, then turned back and gave a “squeak” to the two of them.
“Squeak——”
The wooden door was slowly opened a gap from the inside.
A figure appeared behind the door.
It was a man with a slightly bleak figure, wearing a pair of coarse cloth clothes that had been washed white, the style was simple and even a little shabby.His hair was tied back casually, revealing… a shocking face.
The right half of the man’s face was wearing a dark silver mask.The mask fit tightly against his skin, leaving only one dead eye exposed.The left half of his face was unobstructed.
However, the exposed left face was covered with criss-crossing, hideous scars, the skin was charred and twisted, the muscles were atrophied, one eye was tightly closed, the eye socket was sunken, and he was obviously blind.
The man didn’t seem to care about their scrutiny. His intact right eye calmly glanced at the Xueyun Fox at the door, and then slowly landed on Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan who were on guard not far away.
His eyes stayed on the two of them for a moment, especially on Shen Lanchuan’s face.
“You seem to have brought me two troubles.” The man’s voice was hoarse and low, but it didn’t sound unpleasant.
Xueyun Fox squeaked twice, seemingly dissatisfied.
Shen Lanchuan took a step forward and saluted politely: “Senior, my junior brother and I were attacked by mushrooms outside when we were passing through here. Can you rest here for a while? I will thank you very much.”
The man stared at him for a long time and said after a while: “You guys come in first.”
He stepped aside and motioned for the two of them to enter the house.Shen Lanchuan stepped into the wooden house first, followed closely by Ji Hantong, still scanning the furnishings in the house with some vigilance.
The inside of the wooden house looks simpler than the outside, but it is also neat.There was a simple wooden bed placed against the wall, covered with clean hay and animal skins. There was a wooden frame at the end of the bed with large and small wooden carvings on it.In the middle is a rough wooden table and two equally rough chairs.There are some clay pots and dried plants piled in the corner, as well as a simple earth stove.
“The place is simple, feel free to sit down.” The man said calmly, walked to the table, picked up a ceramic bowl, scooped some water from the water tank in the corner, and took a sip.
Shen Lanchuan handed over his hand again: “I’m bothering you, senior.”
He did not sit down immediately and looked at Ji Hantong.This sight made Shen Lanchuan’s pupils suddenly shrink.
Ji Hantong was looking sideways at Shen Lanchuan, looking down at the room. There was a small dark red mark on the hem of his moon-white robe at some point, and the mark seemed to be slowly expanding.
“Hantong!” Shen Lanchuan’s voice suddenly tightened, and he stepped in front of Ji Hantong and squatted down, “Your legs…”
Ji Hantong was startled by his sudden movement and followed his gaze to his left leg. Then he hissed and frowned: “It seems that when I was running just now, I was scratched by a mycelium that suddenly popped up… I didn’t feel much pain at the time, so I didn’t care.”
Ji Hantong said it lightly, but Shen Lanchuan’s face instantly darkened.He reached out and lifted the hem of Ji Hantong’s Taoist robe gently but unmistakably.
I saw an inch-long wound on the outside of my left calf, close to the ankle. The wound was not deep, but it glowed with a strange dark purple color. The skin on the edge was slightly swollen, and dark red blood beads were slowly oozing out.
Shen Lanchuan’s heart suddenly sank and he began to curse himself secretly.Just now, his junior brother had been following him closely in the mushroom forest. He looked as usual and acted decisively, so much so that he didn’t even notice that his junior brother was injured.
Self-blame, regret, distress, fear…all kinds of emotions surged into his heart like a tide, instantly flooding Shen Lanchuan’s heart.His fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly, and he carefully avoided the edge of the wound to explore the spread of the poison.Fortunately, the toxicity does not seem to be severe. It only adheres to the wound and does not penetrate deep into the meridians. However, if not treated in time, it will cause a lot of trouble.
“Senior brother, I’m fine, it’s just a minor injury.” Seeing his ugly face, Ji Hantong tried to comfort him and took back his leg, “I can just take care of it myself…”
“Don’t move.” Shen Lanchuan’s voice was low and hoarse, with irresistible force.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, but his movements became more gentle and careful.Shen Lanchuan directly picked up Ji Hantong, walked to the table and gently placed him on the sturdy-looking wooden chair.
The whole process was fast and steady, and Ji Hantong felt like the world was spinning for a while before he was placed safely.His cheeks were slightly warm, and he felt a little uncomfortable, especially in front of this stranger and the little fox, and whispered: “Senior brother…”
Shen Lanchuan ignored his awkwardness and half-knelt on one knee in front of him, examining the wound carefully.
“If you still think of me as my senior brother, just sit down and sit down.”
