fool around

At noon the next day, Si Yu made a dish of white pork with garlic paste, which Lin Mubai and Xiaofu ate with great relish.

During this period of time, Qi Lu also ate at the table with them, and sometimes he felt better after eating the dishes he liked, and would help Si Yu clean the table and set up the dishes.

But Mr. Qi was not as natural as he is now. The first time he followed Xiaofu, he stepped on the threshold with one foot and slowly retracted it. He stood by the door and stopped moving.

Si Yu waved to him while spreading chopsticks: "Mr. Qi, do you want to have lunch together?"

Qi Lu lowered his hood and said, "I'm here to deliver Xiaofu."

"Brother! Xiaofu didn't ask the master to give it to me!" Xiaofu brought two small cushions from the living room and shouted at Si Yu, "Xiaofu knows the way!"

There are not many roads from Room 43 to Room 44, so there is nothing wrong with it!

The little guy dismantled the stage without showing any face, Qi Lu turned his face away, and coughed twice.

Si Yu looked at Mr. Qi's indifferent profile, and snickered and invited: "Mr. Qi, let's have dinner together."

Qi Lu showed no expression: "I'm not hungry."

It just so happened that Lin Mubai and Xiao Mao also rushed in from the outside. Seeing Qi Lu pause, they greeted carelessly, "Brother Qi is here to eat too! Welcome!"

Lin Mubai's tone was too natural and easy-going, as if he was also the owner of Room 44.

The corners of Qi Lu's mouth froze, and he cast a knife-cold look at Lin Mubai, but Village Chief Lin's eyes were full of lunch, and he didn't even notice Brother Qi's cryptic warning. Yu gave a compliment: "Si Yu, you are so kind! You have cooked so many dishes for me! I am so touched, so touched!"

Xiaofu climbed up the chair, took three tissues and stuffed them into his collar to make a small bib, held up a small iron spoon, turned his head and said to Qi Lu: "Master, please go home first, Xiaofu knows the way, Go back after dinner... No! After dinner, I have to play with my brother for a while and then go home."

Qi Lu looked at the harmonious "family of three plus a dog" in the room, snorted coldly, glanced lightly at Si Yu, and pretended to leave.

Si Yu sighed in his heart, and hurried up to grab the awkward Mr. Qi: "Don't go, let's have dinner together! I want to eat with you. I made a lot of delicious food. If you don't come, I will specially invite you And you."

Mr. Qi turned around without being kind, and said lightly: "Since you are so enthusiastic..."

Teacher Si saw it clearly and didn't say anything, so he nodded quickly and said: "Mr. Qi, thank you for selling me this face! It's really lucky for you to come to Caimen, and it makes the humble house flourish!"

Unlike humans, Yaozu do not gain energy by eating these.In the first few days, Qi Lu still sneered at Lin Mubai and Xiaofu's low-level self-satisfaction behavior, and put down his chopsticks every time he ate.However, Mr. Qi Lu, who is of noble blood and the only one in the Eastern Continent of pure blood, can't escape the iron law of true fragrance in human society. Two chopsticks have gradually become three chopsticks, four chopsticks... Recently, his appetite has been so good that he can eat one The rice was on top all night.

Si Yu still had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, as the old saying goes, if you want to grab a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach first, and when he got hold of Qi Lu's stomach, Mr. Qi would never be able to run away again.

But today's meal was a bit unpleasant for both of them.

The sauce made of garlic, chili oil and rice wine is drizzled on the fishy meat slices, and the color is bright; the garlic flavor is neutralized by chopped peppers, and the taste is not only not pungent, but very attractive.Lin Mubai and Xiaofu ate with gusto, the drool pocket made of tissues on the little guy's chest was splashed with dark soy sauce.

Qi Lu touched the meat with the tip of his chopsticks, looked at the minced garlic on the plate, and then turned his chopsticks to the stir-fried vegetables on the next plate after a while.

Si Yu was uneasy about Ruan Ruan's matter, and noticed that Qi Lu didn't taste a piece of meat, so he asked him in a low voice, "Is it not to your liking?"

"No," Qi Lu heard what Si Yu said, and turned his chopsticks back to the garlic-paste white meat, picked up a piece of lean meat, and took a small bite from the side, "It's delicious."

Si Yu also put a piece of meat into his mouth, the taste was okay, it was moderately salty, and didn't feel fishy, ​​the garlic smell was appetizing and delicious... Wait!He froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that Qi Lu doesn't eat garlic?

Isn't it said in the movie that vampires are afraid of garlic?Si Yu slapped his forehead angrily, complaining that he was really confused by Ruan Ruan's phone call last night, and even forgot such an important matter.He immediately removed the piece of meat from Qi Lu's bowl, and said, "The rice is smelly, I'll make another bowl for you..."

Just as Si Yu was about to get up, Qi Lu pressed his hand and said, "No, it's delicious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took another piece of meat from the plate and brought it to his mouth to chew and swallow slowly.

"Aren't you afraid of garlic! Don't eat it! Qi Lu!"

Si Yu was in a hurry, for fear that something would happen to Qi Lu after eating garlic.Qi Lu ate a piece of meat slowly before letting go of Si Yu's hand, took a sip of water, and said, "What nonsense are you thinking about?"

"Hey?" Si Yu stared, "Isn't it true that you blood races can't eat garlic? I, I saw a movie and hung a string of garlic at the door of the house to drive you away..."

Qi Lu sighed, and tapped him on the head with the tail of his chopsticks: "Where does it look like crooked ways again?"

Si Yu rubbed his forehead and muttered softly: "This is how movies are played..."

"I'm just not used to the taste, but since you made it, I can try it."

Si Yu rubbed his forehead with his hand, and turned his head to look at Qi Lu in surprise. Mr. Qi sat upright, eating as elegantly as ever.

"Mr. Qi, thank you for willing to try for me."

Si Yu leaned close to his ear and whispered.

After the meal, Lin Mubai hugged Xiaomao and went out to bask in the sun. Xiaofu was lying on the sofa with his round belly, and asked Si Yu in a childish voice for a mobile phone to play Xiaofu.

Si Yu looked at the time, it was 10:[-], and there were only [-] minutes left before the show left at [-]:[-].Every time the second hand clicked and turned, he felt anxious.

He didn't know whether he should go to Ruan Ruan's appointment, but he got an inexplicable phone call in the middle of the night, telling him that a person had died, how strange this situation looked.But Ruan Ruan held his weakness in his hand - the mahogany sword that his father had misplaced before his death.

On the dial, the pointer was getting closer and closer to twelve, and Si Yu licked his lips, suddenly feeling a little dry.

"Brother, play matchmaker with Xiaofu!"

The little guy climbed onto his lap, hugged his neck stickily and acted like a baby.

Si Yu patted Xiao Fu's head, and smiled reluctantly: "Xiao Fu, good boy, how about playing by yourself today?"

Xiao Fu put the back of his hand on Si Yu's forehead: "Is brother sick?"

"Xiaofu," Qi Lu said suddenly, "Brother has something to do today, let's go home first."

Si Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head in shock. There was no superfluous expression on Qi Lu's face, and he looked completely normal.

The calmer Qi Lu was, the more uncomfortable Si Yu felt.His abnormality is so obvious today, it is normal for Qi Lu to see that something is wrong, will Qi Lu suspect him?

"Mr. Qi, it's actually..."

"Xiaofu." Qi Lu stretched out a hand towards Xiaofu.

"Okay," Xiaofu put on his little leather shoes dejectedly, ran to Qi Lu's side, and held Qi Lu's hand to bargain, "Master, Xiaofu is going home now, can I play with my brother for a while that night?"

There was still a grain of rice hanging on the little guy's face, Qi Lu bent down and wiped off the grain of rice with a handkerchief, and said to the little guy, "Ask brother."

"Brother," Xiaofu pouted, "Come and play with Xiaofu tonight?"

Si Yu licked his lips, and subconsciously looked at Qi Lu. His Mr. Qi was wearing a cloak and a hood, and his delicate jaw slightly lifted.

"Brother will definitely go to play with Xiaofu at night." Si Yu's beating heart fell back to the original place, and he said to Qi Lu with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely come."

Xiaofu cheered happily.

"Goodbye to brother." Qi Lu patted Xiaofu on the head.

"Goodbye, brother." Xiaofu waved his hand.

Qi Lu led Xiaofu away, and Si Yu sat on the sofa for a while, then sighed, raised his hand and stroked his head indiscriminately.

In the second lesson of Mr. Si's love course, Mr. Qi not only learned it well, but also surpassed others.

Qi Lu trusted him more than he thought.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the sun was shining, and the soil that was still moist in the morning had a faint burnt smell from the sun.

But the narrow entrance next to the bulletin board is still filled with fog, and the moist water vapor is so thick that it can't be melted away.

——This is the enchantment.

Qi Lu and Si Yu said that this barrier was set up by his parents before their death. Ghosts cannot pass through it, but humans can enter and exit normally without being affected.

He calmly called Ruan Ruan, this time there was no prompt to turn off the phone, and the phone was connected after two rings.

"I'm here," Si Yu went straight to the point, "Where are you?"

"Mr. Si, come out," Ruan Ruan's voice was very soft, "I... I won't go in."

"Okay, right now."

Si Yu took two steps forward, and raised his hand to lightly touch the mist in front of him, which felt moist to the touch.

He still feels unreal, "enchantment" is a word that he only sees in fantasy stories.

——This is the enchantment?Is it the enchantment that Qi Lu's parents would use their last breath before they died?

He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and walked straight through the thick mist.

Ruan Ruan was standing by the side of the road, wearing a simple white shirt, the puff sleeve design made her look a bit puffy, which made her extra thin.

When Si Yu saw her, he couldn't help frowning, Ruan Ruan's complexion was very bad, the bruises hanging under his eye circles were visible to the naked eye, his cheeks were deeply sunken due to being too thin, and his cheekbones were high and protruding.What shocked Si Yu even more was that Ruan Ruan was leaning against a rock, her eyes were lifeless, and her pupils seemed to be out of focus.

It's only been a month, and Ruan Ruan is as thin as a lifeless skeleton.

"Ruan Ruan," Si Yu prepared a lot of questioning words, but when he saw Ruan Ruan, he couldn't bear to say, "It's me."

"Teacher Si," Ruan Ruan smiled at Si Yu, "You're here."

Only then did Si Yu see that there were five or six needle holes densely packed on the back of Ruan Ruan's hands, which seemed to be left after the infusion.

"Are you sick?" He pointed to Ruan Ruan's hand.

"Ah, I have a cold," Ruan Ruan put her hands behind her back, "A small problem."

"Well," Si Yu didn't ask, "You came to me, what's the matter?"

"Li Bo is dead," Ruan Ruan turned her head to look at the distant mountains, her voice was almost inaudible, "I'm very scared, can someone help me?"

Si Yu didn't hear the second part of her sentence, and asked with a frown, "How did Li Bo die? How do you know about it?"

"I saw it," Ruan Ruan turned her head and stared at Si Yu's eyes, the dark pupils looked a little scary on her too thin cheeks, "I saw him dead."

"Ruan Ruan," Si Yu felt that there was something wrong with Ruan Ruan's mental state, and he replied calmly, "I know it might be cold-blooded to say that, but the Li Bo you mentioned is just a stranger to me. You don't have to tell me this. I just want to know that sword, why do you have..."

In the pocket of her trousers, Ruan Ruan's mobile phone suddenly vibrated, she seemed to be stimulated by something, she trembled all over, her pupils constricted suddenly when she couldn't stand, she took two steps back suddenly, staggered and fell to the ground, raised her hand to cover her face, Breathing gradually became short of breath.

"What's wrong with you?" Si Yu hurried forward to check the situation.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Ruan Ruan murmured these three words repeatedly.

"It's okay," Si Yu patted her on the back to give her a sigh of relief, "Take a deep breath, follow me, exhale—inhale—"

"Mr. Si, only you can save me..." Ruan Ruan raised her head, her voice trembling, "Li Bo, he was drained of blood, he died after being drained of blood..."

Si Yu's mind was shocked.
