Zi Feiyu

Ye Qiao's world-weary eyes are lazy, decadent, and sometimes disgusting.Every time he glared at Gu Chen, Gu Chen would automatically transform his eyes into calm, indifferent, and lonely.

Gu Chen moved a chair and sat outside to bask in the sun, the kitten was playing with its tail in the bicycle basket, Ye Qiao leaned against the wall and sat on the back seat of the bicycle, opening and closing his mouth, hesitant to speak.Gu Chen stretched out his hands and moved his legs, lying on the back of the chair in extreme boredom, hanging his head, tilted, looked at Ye Qiao, teased Ye Qiao, blinked, and smiled.One person and one cat, not to mention lonely, it is indeed lonely and boring.Ye Qiao caught a glimpse of Gu Chen being nervous again from the corner of his eye, turned his head, and glared at Gu Chen.Gu Chen smiled triumphantly.

Old Xie Xiaoqian followed Lele's head and sent Lele back. When he came back, he brought soy milk and fried dough sticks.When the kitten saw the food, it jumped out of the basket and followed Lao Xie into the house.Gu Chen said he didn't want to eat it, and so did Ye Qiao.

Gu Chen looked at the ground, told him what he knew and what Lele's mother told him, and remembered telling Ye Qiao sentence by sentence.

Lele lives with her mother in the community on the left side of Feiyu.This community is a few years ago when the city center demolished old buildings and built new ones, and the government arranged for the residents to relocate here.There was a lot of commotion, and it took several moves before they were all moved.

Lele has no father, no grandfather, and has never seen grandparents.After grandpa and grandma gave birth to Lele's mother, grandpa ran away. When Lele's mother was young, she heard others say that grandpa was crazy and talked nonsense while running.After Lele's mother and Lele's father gave birth to Lele, Lele's father didn't run away or go crazy. After grandma died, Lele's father ran away and went crazy.Like grandpa, Lele's father was scared to death and ran to hell.

Lele's mother took Lele to the community to sell breakfast by pushing a trolley. She couldn't die of hunger and had a little surplus.When grandma was there, she helped take Lele. After grandma left, Lele's mother tied Lele at home with a rope.There is no one to help take care of her at home, so she can't help it.But Lele is very obedient, she doesn't cry or make troubles, and what she looks forward to most in the day is the afternoon, because in the afternoon, she can hold her mother's hand and go to coffee.

Lele eats bread and drinks coffee, but he is actually taking medicine.Yaoyin is the flowers and plants on the right side of the backyard.Coffee language only sells two kinds of coffee, the famous coffee, which is not coffee, but two kinds of herbs, one is sweet and sour chicken grain grass, and the other is Jiarong grass with red leaves and flowers.Chicken Gut Grass is good for the body, the average customer only knows that it is sold in the store, and it tastes good.But Jiarong grass is hard to grow and hard to grow. Generally, it will start to flower when it breaks the ground. When the flowers bloom, Lao Xie will dry the flowers and leaves and save them. During thunderstorms, they will take them out and soak them for Lele to drink. The liquid is red and very beautiful. Drinking is not afraid. thunder and lightning.The herb in the bread is a kind of white flower, which also grows on the right side of the backyard. It blooms once every two days, and a dozen small white flowers can bloom on one stem. I don’t know the name of the flower, but eating it can relieve pain.At that time, Lele's family hadn't moved in yet, and in the middle of the night, Grandma Lele flew over to chat, with her eyes closed, sleeping next to the little white flower.Gu Chen was curious, and followed Grandma Lele, and found that if Grandma Lele didn't come to Chenyu, her head would hurt when she recovered.It's a pity that when the age is reached, this flower can't prolong life, so the joy will begin after death.When Lele was more than one year old, he often flew his head, had no direction, and went everywhere. Later, Gu Chen cast a spell with the fragrance of bread and white flowers to make Lele come to talk, and Lao Xie was responsible for secretly protecting him to ensure his safety.The smell of the house and Lao Xie's body is also this white flower fragrance.

Ye Qiao asked, "Le... Lele, does this happen every night?"

"It used to be like this every night, but it's getting better recently. If midnight doesn't come, I won't fly over and sleep at home."

"recent?"

"Recently." Gu Chen shook his head, "I can't explain why this happened during this period of time."

"The white flowers..." Ye Qiao remembered the faint smell of death, "Where did you get those flowers and plants in the backyard?"

Gu Chen paused, closed his eyes, and did not answer.

Ye Qiao looked sideways into the window.Lao Xie and the kitten are eating breakfast, it should be bought by Lele's mother at the stall.It turned out that the smell was the smell of white flowers, and it turned out that Lao Xie's walks were not just walks.

Gu Chen changed the direction, leaned against the back of the chair, slumped on the chair, and slid down.

Ye Qiao looked at Gu Chen and sighed slightly. Although it was early in the morning, it was really silly to bask in the sun in the summer.

When Lao Xie entered the backyard, the red five-petaled flower that should be thanked was still blooming.The red five-petaled flower smiled at the dead branch, and a piece of red fell on the ground.There is a small flower bud on the dead branch, which is transparent and water-colored, very shy.

After dawn, the red five-petaled flower smiled at the transparent bud on the dead branch. It had never been seen before. It was a strange and weird scene, and Lao Xie looked in surprise.He went out and told Gu Chen, who was lying paralyzed in the sun with nothing to do.Gu Chen got up and went into the backyard, followed by Ye Qiao.

Seeing them come in, the red five-petaled flowers returned to their original state and fell to the ground.

Gu Chen picked up a few small stones on the ground, formed a circle around the dead branches and the water tank, and calculated with his fingers.

A small drop of water emerges from the dead branch, glowing, shining, boom, falling into the water tank, water droplets, swirls, ripples.

Lao Xie looked at the transparent flower buds and the water tank, "Is it time?"

Gu Chen closed his hands, lowered them, and clenched them into fists.Glancing at the transparent flower buds, then at Lao Xie: "Seven days later, Zishi."

Old Xie bowed his head: "When the time comes, I will pick him up."

Gu Chen was worried and nodded.Ye Qiao was puzzled.

After noon, Lele's mother brought Lele to Feiyu.Lele giggled a few times and said loudly, "Brother, I'm here."

Ye Qiao looked at Lele and didn't answer.Gu Chen squatted and laughed.Ye Qiao wanted to smile at Lele, but couldn't force a smile.

Lele's mother looked at Ye Qiao and smiled, "Thank you!"

Ye Qiao was confused.

Gu Chen took Lele by the hand, approached Ye Qiao, and said to Lele, "Quick, thank you uncle."

Lele giggled, stretched out her little hand shyly, hugged Ye Qiao's trouser leg, and raised her head: "Thank you brother."

Ye Qiao was stunned, his palms were sweating, he didn't know how to deal with Lele who was hugging his trouser legs, and he didn't know why they wanted to thank him.

The kitten meowed a few times out of nowhere, Lele listened with pricked ears, turned her little head left and right, grabbed Ye Qiao's trouser leg with one hand, and Gu Chen's trouser leg with the other, "The cat is calling me. Meow——"

Ye Qiao looked down at Lele's neck, stretched out her hand, held it again, and hung it down.Gu Chen smiled: "It's okay."

Ye Qiao lowered her eyes.

The kitten licked Mao Mao on the high chair, looked outside the door, and rolled its eyes.Alas, a bunch of fools.

After Lele left, Gu Chen went into the backyard, took off his shoes, and lay on the porch with his head propped up, looking at the transparent flower buds.

Ye Qiao walked into the backyard hesitantly, and sat next to Gu Chen, "That...what kind of flower is the transparent bud?"

"Lycoris."

"Lycoris?"

"Yes." Gu Chen got up and sat cross-legged, "Is it strange to drive in this way?"

Ye Qiao nodded.

"The flowers have bloomed three times, and they are all red." Gu Chen looked down at his feet.

Ye Qiao frowned.

"The red Bana flower destroyed three families. This time it was an old woman who begged me many times to see her husband for the last time. If it blooms red this time, both of them will go to hell. If, if... "

Ye Qiao suddenly remembered the first time he met Gu Chen, and interrupted: "This is the first time you saw me, smell..." Sniffing, what did you smell?

Gu Chen looked at Ye Qiao, thought about it, and asked cautiously, "Have you been to the border?"

Ye Qiao paused.The kitten jumped out, stretched its limbs and lay between the two of them, with its tail up and down.Gu Chen scratched his head: "I haven't been to the boundary, there is a place... that has a similar smell to the boundary."

"Past life..."

"Yes. I have a friend there. Been there a few times, but haven't seen each other for a long time."

The kitten moved its ears, stood up, and lay in Ye Qiao's arms.Ye Qiao looked down at the kitten.Both he and the kitten came from the boundary. The kitten's original form is Dijiang, a god, who can freely go in and out of various places, but he is neither a human nor a ghost.He had been buried in the borderline for many years, it was the kitten who dug out his bones, and it was Lin Yuan who saved him.He has a non-human and non-ghost smell that neither humans nor monsters can smell.The similar smell on Gu Chen's body is just the occasional smell left over from his past lives.

However, Ye Qiao still couldn't figure it out, Gu Chen was no ordinary person at first glance, why did he have to let him stay?What are you thinking?

Gu Chen seemed to know what Ye Qiao was thinking, smiled and eased the tension, "Stay here, look, the flower is blooming again."

Ye Qiao looked up, and the red five-petaled flowers bloomed again.The five-petal flower was no longer shy this time, approaching Ye Qiao, gently opening and closing its petals, and smiling at the boy.Ye Qiao looked at the five-petaled flower carefully, her eyelashes fluttering up and down, as if thinking of something.The five-petaled flower is jumping for joy, the stem is very long and long, wrapping around Ye Qiao's right hand, the flower is lying in Ye Qiao's palm, caressing, like caring, like comfort, like retention.

The kitten turned around and stretched out its paws to approach the five-petal flower.The five-petaled flower raised its head and rubbed against the kitten's paw.The kitten raised its head to look at Ye Qiao, and Ye Qiao looked down at the flowers, the cat's claws, and his hands.He and the kitten both remembered that there was a small red five-petaled flower in front of the critical grave.

Gu Chen looked dazed, stretched out his left hand, and approached Ye Qiao, but the five-petal flower ignored him.He smiled: "Haha, it seems that it still likes you more."

Ye Qiao said, "I didn't say I was leaving."

The kitten meowed, the five-petal flower was delighted, and Lao Xie nodded when he heard it.

And Gu Chen raised his head to the sky... closing his eyes and smiling.
