Ideal country

After dinner, Huo Ke took the initiative to clean up the dishes, only to find that Xing Ye was still sitting there holding the beer can when he came out of the kitchen.

Huo Ke took the jar out of his hand and put it on the coffee table: "Who is that person I met in the supermarket today?"

Xing Ye was silent for a while, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's my aunt."

To be honest, if he didn't meet his aunt in the supermarket by chance today, he might not have thought of his dad for a long time.

Xing Ye wrote lightly: "When I was in high school, my dad cheated, and my mom divorced him, and my mom took me all the time. When my mom passed away two years ago, he didn't even take a look. I never contacted him again after that. He has not been in good health for the past few years, and only then did he remember that there is such a son as me.”

What he didn't say was that during the most difficult period of his life with his mother after his father cheated, his father didn't ask about the situation of the mother and the child, because Xing Ye had already turned eighteen at that time, and his father didn't care about it either. Alimony was paid.Xing Ye's mother is very strong, she would rather suffer by herself than ask others for help, so she told Xing Ye not to worry about it and study at ease, while working hard to make money.Although the conditions at home have improved a lot since then, his body has also collapsed due to long-term hard work, and he passed away within a few years.

Most of the time, he didn't want to think about his father, let alone think about this past, he just felt that everything about this person and him was disgusting to him.

Huo Ke felt his depression, but he didn't know how to comfort him.Cats are not social animals, and they have very little awareness of their relatives. However, after being with humans for so long, they also understand the meaning of parents to humans.

Huo Ke thought for a while and asked him, "Do you have any other plans for tomorrow?"

Xing Ye shook his head. He originally planned to go to the store to feed the cat tomorrow, then rest at home, and take Huo Ke out for a meal in the evening. He didn't have any other arrangements.

Huo Ke looked up at him: "Shall I take you to the place where I used to live tomorrow?"

Xing Ye agreed.

The next day, the two went to the store to feed the cat before setting off.

Huo Ke sat in the co-pilot to direct, and Xing Ye drove along the road pointed by Huo Ke, from the city to the south of the city, and then stopped at the gate of an old residential area.

Huo Ke got out of the car and stopped with Xing Ye in a very dilapidated small house: "I was born here. At that time, there was no one in the community, and the cars drove and stopped randomly. Not long after I was born, I My mother was crushed to death by a passing car."

He glanced in through the cobweb-covered window, but couldn't see anything.This small house was originally lived by an old man who scavenged waste. Later, when the old man was gone, it fell into disrepair. His mother chose this place to nest.

Xing Ye didn't say anything, just patted his head.Huo Ke looked up at him, realized that he seemed to be comforting himself, and smiled: "Look over there."

He pointed to a unit building not far away: "There was an old lady at the back who took me in, but she passed away not long after, so I ran away by myself. I don't know if there are still people living in this house."

Xing Ye glanced at the balcony, it was empty, there was nothing there, probably no one lived there either.

The two got into the car and drove east for another ten minutes.

"Have I ever told you why I became a demon?" Huo Ke took out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket and asked while turning them.

Xing Ye shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't have curiosity, it's just that he doesn't like to pry into other people's privacy. If the other party doesn't tell him, he won't ask.He himself rarely mentioned his personal affairs to others.

"Actually, I met a cat demon who was about to die once. He gave me the demon pill, and I became a demon. In fact, he helped me a lot, and he also helped me with my ID card. , and the house was also left to me."

He turned his head and said while taking the key to open the door: "Before I went to your place, I lived here..."

Huo Ke made a sudden movement, turned his head and looked inside the door: "Who are you?"

Xing Ye didn't notice that there was still someone in the room at all. He heard the sound and looked around, only to see a black-haired and blue-eyed man sitting on the sofa in the living room, narrowing his eyes dangerously at the two people at the door.

The man answered irrelevantly and asked: "Who are you? How do you have the key here? What about other people?"

Huo Ke is really confused now, does this person know Ying Xu?He has the key here too?

Huo Ke's tone slowed down a bit: "Are you Ying Xu's friend?"

The man pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and nodded: "Yeah."

Huo Ke was relieved and led Xing Ye into the door: "It happened a long time ago, you may not know, Ying Xu is no longer here."

Huo Ke sat down opposite the man: "Hello, my name is Huo Ke. I met Ying Xu about two years ago. At that time, he was seriously injured and was about to die. He told me that he was about to die. He died, and then he gave me the demon pill and the house. But now I don’t live here anymore, since he also gave you the key, you can live too..."

The man seemed to have never heard of it, as if Huo Ke told him that Ying Xu was gone, his attention was no longer on it.

Huo Ke talked for a while before realizing that the man's mind was out of order, and shook his hand in front of his eyes: "Hello, hello?"

The man came back to his senses for a while, and his eyes fell on Huo Ke a little bit erratically: "You said... two years ago?"

Hawke nodded.

The man stopped talking.He stood up with a little vain footsteps, then walked towards the window sill, and jumped out of the window sill with a kick of his legs.

Xing Ye jumped to the window in shock and looked down, but found that there was no bloody scene as he imagined, nor was there the black-haired man who jumped out from here just now.

Huo Ke walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't look, he should be a monster too."

It was the first time Xing Ye had seen this kind of scene that can only be seen in movies, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is he also a demon?"

Huo Ke nodded: "He should also be a cat demon. I can feel it a little bit, but it's not very obvious. He should be much stronger than me."

"The Ying Xu you mentioned just now is the cat demon you said you met?"

Huo Ke nodded: "Yes. He left the house to me before he died, and I have been living here since then, but I have never seen this person before, and I don't know that Ying Xu returned the key to someone else's house."

Huo Ke took Xing Ye around the house.

The house is actually not big, but it is very warmly furnished.Of course, Huo Ke said that these were all left by Ying Xu, so he wouldn't mess with them.

He has lived here for two full years, but he still has no sense of belonging. He only feels that this is a borrowing place, not a home.So I don't have any belongings, and all the most precious things can be carried in one pocket.

Counting carefully, in fact, in his short and not short cat life, he has not lived in a few places that can be called home.

And home, what is it?
