fool around

Before the sun rose completely, Si Yu followed Qi Lu to the highest peak of the back mountain.

Standing here, you can almost see the entire Xinyang City. There are green fields and low farmhouses scattered among the rice paddies; Embedded with a huge LED screen.

This is a plump and lively city. Before the bus whistle in the morning rush hour, Xinyang was still immersed in a peaceful dream.

"There," Si Yu pointed his finger to the southwest, "my house used to be there."

The direction he was pointing at was an old city, with no clean roads, only sewage everywhere, and no clear sky, only dark clouds divided into small pieces by unglued messy wires.

There was a look of nostalgia on Si Yu's face. He grabbed Qi Lu's wrist and dangled it like a child showing off toys to his companions, chattering: "I have lived there for more than ten years. , but very warm, our house has two beds, my father sleeps in the big one, I sleep in the small one, there is a yellow cloth wardrobe, I often hide in it and play hide-and-seek..."

"An old desk, one corner is broken, a lock is hung on the drawer, and the key is in the pen holder." Qi Lu took Si Yu's words.

Si Yu paused, even taking a breath.

He looked up at Qi Lu steadfastly, his eyes were steamed under the thick eyelashes.

The huge sun gradually rose from behind the mountain, and the golden light slanted on Qi Lu's face, and his straight nose cast a light shadow on his cheek.

The profile of his profile is sharp and sharp, and his dark eyes are calm and distant.He stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, as if there was an invisible transparent glass, isolating him from the bustling and noisy modern city below the mountain.

"I lost the key," Si Yu's voice trembled, "I can't find it no matter how hard I look for it, just like I can't find my father no matter how I look for it."

Qi Lu sighed silently, turned to stare at Si Yu.

In an instant, the hard transparent glass disappeared, and his indifference and alienation turned into tenderness and pity.

Qi Lu leaned over and pressed a kiss on Si Yu's slightly cool forehead: "Silly, it's not that I can't find it, it's that I've never lost it."

The early morning wind whizzed past with the smell of vegetation in the mountains, making Si Yu's eye sockets hot.

He stared blankly at Qi Lu, and after a long time, he whispered "Oh", then suddenly lowered his head, and a drop of water hit his shoe with a "slap".

Qi Lu didn't speak, but just looked at Si Yu's exposed white nape, which was covered with a thin layer of velvet under the morning light, and was smoothly tucked into the loose shirt collar.

After a long time, Si Yu raised his head, his eyes flushed, and asked in a low voice, "Is he a good person? Yes, right?"

"Well, he is a very good person." Qi Lu said seriously and firmly, "He is a very talented demon catcher, and he is also very kind. He has met many little demons living outside, but he never made things difficult for them. , will be sent back here every time.”

"Then have you seen him?"

"I've seen that monsters can't enter the barrier on their own, and I need to go out and bring them in." Qi Lu paused, and then said, "I will thank him, and he will say the same to me."

——Thank you for what?

Si Yu didn't ask this question, the cool breeze gently patted his face, and he couldn't understand the answer very well.

Qi Lu thanked Si Zheng, and Si Zheng also thanked Qi Lu.

They thank each other and are careful to maintain their hard-earned peace.

"I have been thinking, before my father died, he wanted to leave a clue for me. He wrote an unfinished F on the last page of the manual with his blood. He must have carried this manual with him. Why did it appear in the My Home?"

Si Yu has been puzzled by it all the time. According to the current situation, F is Fan Tianxing's correctness. The shocking F on the last page of the manual is the reminder given to him by Si Zheng. So this "Ghost Book" How did you get back home?

"It's me," Qi Lu sighed deeply, "I picked up this booklet by chance at the edge of the barrier. It belongs to the Si family and should be returned to the Si family."

Si Yu was stunned for a moment, a tear fell out of his eye socket without warning, rolled down his cheek, and Qi Lu raised his hand to catch it cherishingly.

"how come……"

Qi Lu shook his head: "I don't know, but I never saw him again after that."

There was silence, save for the rustling of the blades of grass as the wind moved them.

After a moment of silence, Si Yu slowly raised his head: "There are only two possibilities."

"En." Qi Lu waited patiently for him to finish.

"Or, before my father died, he fled outside the barrier and wanted to tell you about the mixed race, but he was killed before he had time. He had to leave the manual with him, hoping you can find it. There is another possibility... ..."

When Si Yu said this, he suddenly stopped abruptly.

Qi Lu patted his head and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid."

"You're lying to me. In fact, you killed him."

Si Ji thought he would tremble when he said this, but in fact, his voice was terrifyingly calm.

Qi Lu gently stroked his tear-wet eyelashes with the pulp of his thumb.

"Qi Lu, as long as you tell me, I will believe it." Si Yu grabbed his wrist and asked eagerly, "You didn't, did you?"

"I don't." Qi Lu stared at him deeply, "No."

Si Yu threw himself into Qi Lu's arms in the hunting wind, hugged him tightly with both arms, and murmured in a low voice: "I knew it, I knew it..."

The city gradually began to wake up, and the crowded heads became as big as gravel, crowded and shuttled on the distant road.

"You've already seen my family," Si Yu sniffed, "Then you also have to introduce your family to me."

"My home..." Qi Lu's eyes seemed to penetrate the air, and he looked at a place far, far away, "In the deep mountains in the north."

The entire eastern continent is the territory of the blood race, the wet swamps and lush jungles in the south, the snow and unmelted ice in the north, the fertile fields and deep blue sea in the east, the vast desert and red land in the west.

According to rumors, the blood race is a race blessed by heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.Every blood race will leave the shelter of his parents when he becomes an adult, and his wings will sweep across the entire continent, to feel the rhythm of every river, the breath of every tree, and every part of his soul.

But Qi Lu is an exception.

He left the north with his parents when he was young, and witnessed the war before he understood the magnificence of the mountains and rivers and the sweetness of the rivers. The too young leader was forced to grow up overnight, and with his still thin shoulders, he blocked the entire monster clan behind.

"At that time, the monster race retreated to the ancient pond, and no longer involved in human settlements, was it your idea?" Si Yu asked.

Qi Lu closed his eyes and pursed his lips into a straight line. Instead of answering the question directly, he said, "I was wrong. Just avoiding it won't solve the problem. Teacher Si, maybe you are right."

"Ok?"

"I should go out," Qi Lu's voice was soft but firm, "The mission of the blood clan has always been to fight."

The wind blew Qi Lu's hair, and Si Yu saw his pale, almost transparent side face.

——Since I decided to share my heat with him, I can't back down.

While thinking this way, Si Yu clasped Qi Lu's five fingers tightly.

On the way down the mountain, Qi Lu talked about Fan Tianxing.

"You mean the mixed race and Fan Tianxing are the same person?" Si Yu was startled, and quickly denied his statement, "Impossible, I have tried Fan Tianxing's pulse, he has body temperature and heartbeat."

"It's not the same person." Qi Lu said flatly.

"Could it be..." A bold and absurd idea appeared in Si Yu's mind, "They share the same body?"
