India

Seeing Mo Nan staring intently at the thing in his hand, Ji Tianze knew that he was attracted by this novelty.

"is it nice?"

"Hmm... what is this?" Mo Nan flicked the ball, thinking it was very interesting.

"This is just an ordinary cherry blossom ball pendant, but it is very important to me." Ji Tianze smiled and said, "I bought it when I traveled to Japan with Amo, and the store that sells this can also speak Chinese , although the speech is not very good, haha."

Seeing Mo Nan's blank face, he added: "In short, it's something I bought with him. The person who sold it spoke poor Chinese very nicely, saying that this pendant is specially given to the person he likes. Lover."

"I'm thinking that this kind of trick to trick a little girl into spending money is too unreasonable to fool two men. I didn't want to talk to him at first, but oh," he suddenly became excited when he thought of something, "I haven't left that store for long, huh Mo he pulled me back again, I thought he liked it, so I bought it with him... Then I didn't expect it! He actually put it in my bag the next day!"

"Is this the meaning of giving it to you?"

"It must be. But it's a bit embarrassing. I didn't realize it at first, and I even told him hey, you dropped my stuff. Hahahaha, thinking of his blushing face and aggrieved eyes at that time... Although it was very Immoral, I still can't help but want to laugh hahahaha..."

"..." What's going on, I suddenly felt very distressed.

"After a long time of fuss, I finally understand, and I will tell you secretly. For a long time, I have been floating when I walk. Although this is a pendant, I have never used it as a pendant once. I always put it in my bag. I hid it carefully, I can't even imagine what would happen if I lost it."

"Then you still give it away so casually?" Mo Nan asked in disbelief, how could he think that such things are very important to Ji Tianze, yet he gave it to himself just like that.

"That's because..." Ji Tianze pretended to be deep, "I like you."

"..."

Of course Mo Nan didn't believe it, he had already heard his words in one ear and out the other: "Oh, then what?"

"...Well...you don't seem to believe it, so let's take it as a thank you gift. Once I go back this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back here again." Yes, although I have never liked it and I am not used to it, but after living for three years, once I say I am going to leave, I am still a bit reluctant, so after thinking about it, I decided to keep some souvenirs."

"Remember..."

"Well," he smiled and gathered Mo Nan's fingers, covered the bead, and continued, "You can keep it, it's the souvenir I left in this world, and you have helped me so much , I don’t have anything valuable, the only valuable thing was crushed by someone, oh, it’s really..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to realize something, and asked with a snort: "Speaking of which, where is the big brother today?"

"You mean Ji Guiran?" Mo Nan said the name, his face darkened immediately, and he snorted coldly, "Dead!"

"..."

Ji Tianze's heart was like a mirror, and he suddenly understood a little bit, and asked in a low voice: "Are you quarreling again?"

"Hey, who dares to quarrel with this uncle," Mo Nan said bitterly, "It's fine if you don't speak human words, but he loses his temper at every turn and threatens him with brute force. He's terrible. I said, let's call this plague god Get out? I feel so bad luck, today is going to change!"

Ji Tianze really wanted to laugh, but seeing Mo Nan's earnest and angry appearance, he had no choice but to hold back. He suppressed his smile and persuaded: "This is such a big hatred, you can't let it go, just sit down and chop it up calmly." ...Oh no, sit down and have a good talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about."

"But if you are so unilaterally angry, you are punishing yourself with other people's mistakes, and you are at a disadvantage."

"Yes, what you said makes sense." Mo Nan frowned and nodded, "Then ignore him, let him lose his temper with ghosts!"

Ji Tianze couldn't help but let out a soft puff. He couldn't suppress his curiosity to know the relationship between the two, but if he asked directly, he would definitely not get the answer he wanted, so he tentatively smiled and said: " Why are you so angry, can’t you resolve the conflict if you talk about it? There’s an old saying in yours, husband and wife quarrel, quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, right?”

Sure enough, he found that Mo Nan's expression immediately changed as soon as he said the word "husband and wife". When he finished reading, Mo Nan's face turned red, and he didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or embarrassment.

"Huh, what nonsense!...Who is with him...then what, even if it is...that's a shame!"

Seeing his stammering and sophistry, Ji Tianze was quite sure of the fact, but he still had to agree: "Oh, yes, no, it's because my short-sightedness made a mistake haha."

It was really a waste of time to dig out the truth before leaving.Ji Tianze snickered in satisfaction.

After being perfunctory, he packed his luggage for the last time and was ready to go home.

It is a common scene for the host to see off the guest, but the case of the guest seeing off the host is too rare. Although Ji Tianze is not the real owner of the house, he can be regarded as half of the house after staying for so long. Out of due etiquette, the two quarreled. No matter how hard it is, I still have to give him a ride in a friendly manner.

Even pretending.

"...Then I'm going back?" Ji Tianze stood in front of the open iron gate with a black bag on his back, looking at the two people behind him who were ignoring each other, he asked cautiously.

"Ah."

"Take care of yourself."

The two spoke at the same time. After realizing this, they stared at each other, then looked away coldly.

"..." Ji Tianze was a little scared.

He felt that if he just left like this, his conscience would be inexplicably disturbed, and he should say something more.

So he opened his mouth and said, "Well, if I find the snake on the road after entering the door, I will catch it back. If I don't find it, I will go back directly, okay?"

"Ah."

"...Then you will stay here after I leave? Or is there somewhere else to go?"

Both of them were taken aback when they heard the words.They were so patronizing, they really didn't think about the next thing, if Ji Tianze didn't see the seal snake, what should they do?

Seeing that they were lost in deep thought, Ji Tianze suddenly thought of something, and said, "Well, I heard that the river next to the village is called Xie River, and after crossing this river is... what country is it from?"

"Yasukuni."

"Oh yes, this is An Guo. In fact, for a long time, besides looking for the whereabouts of the key, I also secretly built a boat by the river."

Mo Nan was surprised when he heard the words: "Boat? Are you going to Anguo?"

"Well, I'm just going to find a way for myself," Ji Tianze shrugged, "If I stay in this village without any clues, then there's no point in staying here, so I decided to go to another country to have a look. They all said that the customs and habits of Anguo and here are very different from here, I am a little curious, maybe the clue is there."

"That's right...but what if you don't find it? What are you going to do?"

"I don't know, maybe I'll just give up, wandering the rivers and lakes like in martial arts novels, it's not bad to be a generation of unrestrained heroes!" Ji Tianze fancied happily.

"Wake up... I think you can only go to farm..."

"Ah, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything." Mo Nan quickly shook his head, "Anyway, the door has been opened, so you don't have to go to Anguo."

"Yeah! I'm happy! Oh no, that's not what I mean. I want to say that since I'm leaving, the boat is useless to me. I'll give it to you. If you want to visit Anguo, You can use it to get across."

"..." Mo Nan didn't think about the matter of Anguo in the past. Now that he has a shortcut, he didn't know how to react for a while.

Ji Tianze thought he was worried, and added: "It's okay, the boat is guaranteed to hold two people, and the quality is also guaranteed. This is made by construction workers from the 21st century, and it is definitely not worse than yours, and there are unique ones on board. guide……"

Seeing that this person was going to talk endlessly again, Mo Nan hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, okay, we will need it when we go, it's too much work."

"Hey, that's good." Ji Tianze smiled foolishly, "Then I'm really leaving."

"Go."

Just as he stepped into the door with his left foot, his mind suddenly moved, as if he had thought of something funny, he backed away, pulled Mo Nan past him with a smirk on his face, and walked into the corner, as if deliberately not to let Ji As if I heard it.

"?" Mo Nan and Ji Guiran were puzzled.

"Hey," Ji Tianze whispered in Mo Nan's ear, "Brother, I thought of a coup before I left. I think it's very suitable for you. If I don't teach it to you, I can't leave with peace of mind."

"What?" Mo Nan was curious.

"Are you saying that he often puts on a dirty face to you and loses his temper, but you are afraid that he will do something and dare not speak up?"

"That's right!" Mo Nan said bitterly, and unconsciously raised the volume, but he was afraid of being heard by Ji Guiran, so he glanced at him in fear, and continued to whisper, "Do you have a way to deal with this kind of thing?"

"Of course." Ji Tianze said mysteriously, "I'm in jail."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly moved away from Mo Nan's ear, and kissed him on the side of the face lightly, and Mo Nan, who moved so fast, didn't even react.

"..." Mo Nan felt his face was touched by warm lips, and before he could fully feel the temperature, it had already left.

"That's it, do you understand?" Ji Tianze smiled meaningfully, and pulled the dazed Mo Nan from the corner.

Looking at Ji Guiran's face, he knew that he could see all his small movements, and he didn't care much, so he walked to Ji Guiran's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Ji Guiran, right?" He said as he took out something from the package on his back, held it in his hand and stuffed it in Ji Guiran's place, "Take it."

Ji Guiran frowned and took his things suspiciously. Before he could look at what it was, he heard Ji Tianze whisper something in his ear. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression a bit complicated.

"It's hard to express revolutionary friendship with mere gadgets." Ji Tianze patted him on the shoulder again, "But you have crushed my phone, so I feel at ease to give you such a cheap thing."

Ji Guiran didn't make any comments, but just hid the item expressionlessly, then glanced at Ji Tianze and said, "Let's go."

"Hey you??..." Ji Tianze was at a loss for words, "All right, all right, I'm too big to care about you, I'm cowardly, live your life well."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to sneak into the door again. Mo Nan behind him came back to his senses in a trance. Seeing the two exchange a few words in a mysterious way, his curiosity couldn't stop overflowing, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly. , I had to hold it in my heart for the time being.

Ji Tianze had no intention of explaining, he was concentrating on squeezing through the door, but unfortunately the size of the door seemed to be tailor-made for a person, it was just right for Ji Tianze to fit in, but it was a bit difficult to stuff the big baggage behind him.

In desperation, he could only take the burden off his body, put it behind him and drag it in step by step, so as not to make the interior space too crowded.

"Help me close the door." Ji Tianze looked at the open iron door and said, "By the way, first pull out the key and give it to me."

Mo Nan pulled out the key as he said, handed it to Ji Tianze who was inside the door, and asked puzzledly, "Do you need the key to come from inside?"

"...That's right." Ji Tianze tightened his grip on the key.

"Then will you come back and take a look when you have time?"

"I... I try my best."

"Well, let's go then." Mo Nan smiled.

"Okay, see you then."

"Goodbye."

Mo Nan withdrew, gently closed the door from the outside, and waved to Ji Tianze who was inside before closing it completely.There was a slight clicking sound when the iron door closed, as if the inside had been locked automatically, just like when it was just opened.

Behind the door, Ji Tianze held his bag in one hand and moved slowly. The sound of kicking footsteps gradually faded away. The corridor almost at the same height as him was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

Not only could he not see his fingers, but the surrounding area was still quite quiet, as if all movement had been cut off, and he could only hear his own heavy breathing.

He didn't grope for a long time, when a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of him, and a small exit could be vaguely seen. It was obviously just a small light source, but it illuminated his path very clearly.

Ji Tianze looked at the empty road in front of him, there was no sign of a snake at all, he was silent for a long time.

"...Never see you again."

He murmured, and unconsciously let go of the hand holding the key. The key fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, which echoed softly in the corridor.

……

Outside the door on the other side, Mo Nan and Ji Guiran waited for several sticks of incense, but there was no sign of Ji Tianze coming back, and they didn't even hear footsteps behind the door.

Mo Nan wandered around in the study like a mouse, rummaging through the furnishings in the room like a mouse, and finally couldn't wait any longer, so he was sure that Ji Tianze would not come back.

At the same time, it also shows that a certain evil snake broke the clue.

"Tch, that's unlucky." He looked at Ji Guiran who was sitting with his eyes closed and meditating contemptuously, "It's all your fault, it's been overcast all day like a dead person, so I couldn't find the snake and couldn't go home..."

Mo Nan thought he was taking a nap, but Ji Guiran opened his eyes and stared at him the next second, scaring him to take a step back.

He really didn't want to quarrel with him, but the words of swearing came out first: "Do you know that you are scary?!"

Ji Guiran was too lazy to argue with him, and ignored him. Seeing that he didn't want to talk to him, and didn't find any boring words, Mo Nan asked straightforwardly: "Where are we going next?"

Ji Guiran stared at him for a while, then asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"do not know."

"Stay."

"boring!"

"Then you're playing monkey?" Ji Guiran mocked unceremoniously.

Mo Nan was about to piss him off, but suddenly he had a brainstorm and said sarcastically, "I'm not kidding you."

"..."

Mo Nan pulled back [-]%, and moved away from him a few feet when he saw it was good, laughing like a thief, even if Ji Guiran got angry at being provoked by him, he didn't want to rush up and beat him up mindlessly, so he was just in vain. Give him a look.

The villainous Mo Nan was so happy that he wanted to whistle, when suddenly he stepped on something under his feet. He looked down in surprise, and it turned out that he had stepped on the fragmented painting.

"..." Mo Nan looked at the torn painting pensively, and always felt that it was not good to throw it on the ground like this, so he said, "Hey Ji Guiran, let's go and repair Brother He's painting and put it back?"

"You fix it."

"You tore it, you want to go together."

"..."

Ji Guiran felt that this person was simply challenging his patience. Before the veins on his forehead twitched a few times, he was dragged out of the house by Mo Nan's stalking.

Although he wanted to repair it, Mo Nan held the picture scroll in his hand and didn't know where to start. After thinking about it, he could only sew it up. Fortunately, when he was a child, he often watched his mother embroider things, so he still knew some needlework.

After finally finding an old needle and thread in the house, he asked Ji Guiran to hold the painting, and he sewed it in a decent way after threading the needle.

Ji Guiran was amazed by his behavior, and couldn't help saying, "You still do this."

"Why? Look down on me?" Mo Nan frowned displeasedly, "Don't be lazy, raise your face higher, it's better to cover your face, otherwise I can't help poking you."

"You dare to poke and try."

"Dare!" After saying that, he made a gesture and thrust the needle forward.

The two sewed the broken painting back together harmoniously. Although the stitching wasn't particularly good, at least it didn't look so tragic.

They took the painting back to the study, and when they were about to hang it back to its original place, something incredible happened to them.

The iron door that was supposed to be embedded in the wall disappeared, and what was left was an empty wall. The door and the dark corridor behind them, they will feel that all this is their own dream.

Mo Nan felt his scalp go numb, and his whole body trembled. He grabbed Ji Guiran's arm and said in fear, "We're not going to see a ghost, are we?"

"Maybe." Ji Guiran was also shocked by this unreasonable situation, so he responded casually.

Unexpectedly, these two words made Mo Nan's fear even worse. He said tremblingly, "Ze was a ghost that day? Isn't it? He is breathing and needs to sleep. His body is also hot, right?"

"how do you know?"

"I remember that I slept with him the day I first came..."

"Oh."

"?? Do you still have the guts to stare at me??" Mo Nan looked at him incomprehensibly, "Do you dare to say that you are not afraid?"

"It doesn't matter." Ji Guiran took the painting scroll in the trembling Mo Nan's hand, and dragged him to hang the painting back.

"You must have hypnotized yourself with something, tell me quickly!"

"No."

"Who are you bluffing, there must be!"

"Think of it as a Taoist ghost." Ji Guiran impatiently perfunctory, he felt that no matter how frightened he was, it was not as annoying as seeing this person.

"I don't believe it, did you guys secretly make some ulterior transaction?" Mo Nan suddenly remembered the mysterious behavior of the two of them before they left, and suddenly he had some eyebrows. He asked, "By the way, what did he give you before he left?" gone?"

Ji Guiran ignored the words and did not answer him.

Mo Nan asked again without giving up: "What did he tell you?"

However, there was still no response from Ji Guiran.

"Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, I'll annoy you if you don't tell me... What's the situation, tell me, tell me, tell me..."

Ji Guiran calmly peeled off Mo Nan who was wrapped around him, turned around and was about to walk out of the study.How could Mo Nan let him go like this, he hugged him directly to stop him, and threatened: "Say it or not!"

"Want to know?"

"kindness."

"you guess."

"..."

At that moment, Mo Nan felt like he was being tricked by his own tricks.
