In summer, the days are long, and the activities of town residents begin when the sun is about to set.

The sky is still bright, the summer heat has not dissipated during the day, there are restless factors floating in the air, and the breath is full of heat.

After stepping out of the door three times in a row, Xi Tian finally mustered up the courage to step out of the door.

Ellis followed closely behind. He was not afraid of heat, but this summer the air-conditioned room made him too delicate.Alice kept close to Xi Tian, ​​but Xi Tian didn't want him to get close.

Xi Tian's body temperature is still lower than that of ordinary people, he is like a movable air conditioner, and he is especially loved by people in such hot weather (although he doesn't want this warm love).

Xi Tian was disgusted with Alice's closeness, and shook his hand away twice in a row, but Alice was still sticking close, and Xi Tian half pushed and half gave up.

In summer, people in the small town are lazy, and in spring, the traffic drivers who can be seen everywhere all leave work early and go home to cool off.

The meeting place this time is on the east side of the town. Xi Tian's home is located on the central line of the town. It will take a lot of time to walk there.

The sun was about to set, and the afterglow sprinkled on the earth, Xi Tian cautiously walked forward following the shadows.

To the east are rich families in the town, where the land is sparsely populated, the courtyard is wide, the vegetation is exquisitely trimmed, and the buildings are beautifully decorated.

There are frequent parties in the town, and when they come and go, everyone saves superficial efforts, and does not decorate balloons and ribbons at home. Sometimes they simply print out a banner with meaning, and if they are a little lazy, they directly write the theme of the party on a cardboard.

However, this family has a tall house and a large courtyard with exquisite architecture, the courtyard gate is open, the trees in the courtyard are surrounded by colorful flowers, decorated with colored lights, and hot air balloons are placed in the open space, with banners hanging high and flying high.

There are servants standing at the door, there to welcome the guests.There were not many people in the small town, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of familiar faces.Even the prominent figures in this town came, the bald mayor of the town, the newly transferred police officers from the state capital, and many parents with their children.

When I entered the room, I found that the decorations were colorful and bright, such as golden balloons, colorful ribbons, people coming and going in the room, and conical birthday hats on their heads.

The waiter was neatly dressed, holding a tray full of refreshing drinks, walking among the crowd, and there was a row of long tables on the left hand side, where self-service food was placed. It is not that Xi Tian has never seen this kind of formation, but it just appeared in such a formation. In this small town, it can be called a huge contrast. It can be seen that the name of this gathering is obviously not to celebrate the cubs, and it is probably more about doing other things under the name.

Ellis gave the biscuits and snacks in the basket to the female hostess, who smiled and expressed her gratitude and handed them two cone hats.

Xi Tian absolutely couldn't give it to the master by himself, otherwise it would appear that the female Ellis was impolite and let the male son do the work himself.It was a pity during the meeting that they could not admit that these pastries were made by themselves and could only be placed under the name of Ellis.After all, when Xiongzi entered the kitchen, it was a big news in this conservative town.

In the distance, Rutherford is holding his brother's son, Louis.

He tried to tease the nephew into talking, but Louis clearly didn't appreciate it.Helplessly, his two female fathers went crazy when they arrived at the party, and would throw him to Rutherford every time.He was obviously already dissatisfied with Rutherford's way of teasing him as a newly hatched cub. Due to etiquette, he didn't dare to express this disdain, and his face was bulging with anger.

He saw Xi Tian from a distance and greeted them loudly. Only then did Rutherford discover his tenants and waved them to come here.

Seeing Xi Tian, ​​Louis struggled to get out of Rutherford's shackles and jumped from his arms, which shocked Rutherford a lot.Louis didn't care about this, and ran straight over. He had seen the delicious food made by Xi Tian, ​​and he liked this Uncle Xiongzi very much.

Xi Tian saw Lu Louisi nimbly avoiding the crowd and running over with small steps, but he was startled, he quickly squatted down, and opened his arms to welcome the little one.

"Uncle Xitian!" Louis shouted.

It's not that Xi Tian didn't help correct his address, but Louis still insisted on calling him uncle, although Xi Tian insisted that he was only an older brother.

Xi Tian couldn't hold a child of this age anymore, he was held by Louis and walked to the place where his fathers were sitting.

Louis pulled him and asked him to continue telling the story he hadn't finished last time.

During the dinner, he was overwhelmed by the child's soft pleas, and gave Ellis a wry smile. Last time, in order to coax Louis not to bother him making snacks, he made up a random story. Unexpectedly, the child would never forget it after hearing it.

Korava told him through Ellis that Louis remembered the stories he told in his dreams.

It's such a great party that you can't go to have a good time and catch up with your acquaintances. You can only sit here and be pestered by children to tell stories. Xi Tian couldn't help but lamented that his luck was not good.

Seeing that Xi Tian was accompanying his nephew, Rutherford happily took a glass of champagne from the waiter and wanted to catch up with his old friend.

Just at this time, Bill appeared and pulled him to the club.

Seeing Xi Tian being entangled by the child, he couldn't help laughing: "I can see that you will be a good male father in the future, and the cub likes you very much."

Xi Tian smiled helplessly, when facing children, he would always be a little more patient and gentle.

He told Ellis a few words, and let him go to his friends.

Rutherford was chatting with his old friend when he suddenly saw the security guard he liked walking in at the door. He tidied his appearance nervously, but stopped when he wanted to go forward.

He turned around, walked up to Louis, and said to him, "You wait here for your father, I'm going home to get something." Then he said to Xi Tian, ​​"Please take care of him for me." .”

Xi Tian nodded and agreed.

Not long after, the music started, and Louis dragged Xi Tianxia to the dance floor, asking him to bring him to dance.

Xi Tian couldn't refuse the cub's request, so he took him to the dance floor for a walk, then went to the self-service area to get some desserts, looked at the people on the dance floor, most of them were young people, outside the dance floor, this family The master was talking in a small circle with the mayor, the chief of police, and others.

Xi Tian recalled the local news paper five days ago, which said that the new governor took office and wanted to promote the establishment of a tourist city, and the mayor of Boulder has always been a promoter of tourism.And the well-dressed prospectors who appeared around these two days.

It appears that Boulder will have more tourists this year.

Xi Tian saw Louis dragging his classmates to dance in the ball circle.

Xi Tian wanted to talk to Ellis, but because of his promise to Rutherford, he stood aside and waited for a while, and then came up impatiently. He talked to Louis and entrusted him to the parents of his classmate. .

Ellis and the people in the club got along well during this time. They were talking about trivial matters. From time to time, someone asked Ellis for his opinion. At this time, Bill said: "Alice, your hero is here. Yours~"

Alice apologized and greeted Xi Tian.

Today's party was unprecedentedly grand, with strong colors and melodious music, but Xi Tian felt a bit overloaded with information, so he dragged Ellis out to find a place to relax and be quiet.

At this time, Xi Tian doesn't talk much, but he needs someone to accompany him quietly.

"Let's go back early, the party is too lively, I'm a little tired."

"Do you want to go back now?"

"Wait for a while, Rutherford asked me to take care of Louis, and we will go back when he comes back."

"it is good."

However, after waiting until the end of the party, Kolawafu came to pick up Louis, but did not see Rutherford.

They were halfway there when they received a panicked call from Korava.

On the phone, Korava incoherently told them to go home and have a look because something happened to Rutherford.

Hearing these words, the two looked at each other in astonishment.

When they rushed back home, the house was surrounded by crowds. They squeezed in, but saw that a yellow cordon was pulled up, and an ambulance and a police car were parked inside.

There were three or four people in police uniforms and two doctors in white coats. A stretcher was lifted out of the ambulance. The doctors went in and then came out again. The stretcher behind was already covered with a white cloth.

The police lights kept flashing red and blue, flashing a strange color on the faces of the surrounding people.

In the yard, the puppy curled up in the kennel with its tail between its legs, barking softly.

In the yard, Korava cried silently, struggling to jump onto the stretcher and lift the white cloth, but was stopped by the police officers on the side.

Xi Tian walked into the cordon and asked the police what happened.

A young male police officer said that they received a report and found a body, which was identified by the people around him as the next-door neighbor, Rutherford.

The sheriff on the side came over and asked them to go to the police station to make a record.
