to blame

The old town has become calm again.

No one questioned the Nuwa stone statue that suddenly disappeared in the square, as if it did not exist in the first place.There is no news about the old city on the Internet, but there are some articles that use the sudden outbreak of influenza in the old city as an introduction, focusing on the issue of epidemic prevention in autumn and winter.

The "sixth group" came forward to contact the unit and applied for half a month's leave for the wounded Ming Xia in the name of virus isolation.Ming Xia guessed that those who suffered trauma in the old city were treated like this.After all, trauma or something, it is too much effort to explain.

Ming Xia felt that he had lived a retirement life ahead of schedule.

Going to bed early and getting up early every day, all I have to do is to do hygiene, go shopping, walk cats, dogs, and rabbits—the mentality has already transitioned to the old-age care mode. When I see the weather is good and the sun is full, I will automatically and spontaneously Moved the deck chair to the edge of the flower bed outside the door.

Then he lay on the recliner, with cats and dogs lying beside him, spending a quiet afternoon with nothing to do.

Tu Qing woke up without any warning, there was no scene of monsters appearing in the world, stormy scenes like those described in novels, and there was no eerie feeling when water squirrels came.Ming Xia just took a nap on the recliner by the side of the road, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Tu Qing squatting in front of the pet shop with a disheveled chicken nest head, drinking a drink.The beauty was lying beside him, meowing coquettishly with her belly up, and her fluffy tail was happily paddling back and forth on the ground.

Tu Qing raised his head and met Ming Xia's gaze. After a moment of surprise, a big smile appeared on his face.

Ming Xia looked at him expressionlessly, and his eyes gradually became fierce.

Tu Qing got up, walked towards Ming Xia with a dry smile, "Well, Xiao Liu, long time no see..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the head by a pillow.

"Long time no see your sister..." Ming Xia jumped up, pressed Tu Qing on the recliner and beat her hard, Tu Qing smiled and begged for mercy, which attracted the beauty to run over, jumping up and down and meowing.Probably never seen such a ferocious Ming Xia, the beauty didn't dare to move rashly for a while, but tentatively walked around the reclining chair, shouting in support of its owner.

After Tu Qing was beaten, his skin didn't itch anymore, and the two of them could finally sit down and have a good talk.

"The external injuries are all healed," Tu Qing rolled up his shirt cuffs to show him the scars on his arms, "the internal injuries... still hurt, and the medicine prescribed by Mr. Hu will take a while. This time, I was not prepared enough to enter the mountain, and I was too reckless." .”

Ming Xia saw that he didn't want to talk about going to the mountain, "Where's old man Bi?"

"He was injured more seriously," Tu Qing sighed, "he will have to recuperate for a few days before he can come back."

Ming Xia tentatively asked him, "Old Man Bi?"

"Yes." Tu Qing turned his head to look at him, "I'm like this...do you dislike me?"

Ming Xia nodded seriously, "I hate it."

Tu Qing, "..."

Ming Xia glared at him, "You have lied to me for so many years, why don't I dislike it for a while?"

Tu Qing laughed helplessly, raised his arms and put them on Ming Xia's shoulders, his expression became serious, "Xiao Liu, I have always regarded you as a good buddy."

"There's no need to talk nonsense." Ming Xia rolled his eyes, "Let's get something affordable."

Tu Qing smiled and nodded, "You say."

Ming Xia asked him straight to the point, "Can you never leave here?"

"Of course not." Tu Qing was moved when he saw that he asked about him first, "You forgot, we were neighbors when we were young, didn't we live in Yaobei District? We have lived there for several years."

Ming Xia forgot about this, "...that's right."

Tu Qing rubbed his head, "Civilians like me who have no criminal record can live outside, and then go to the sixth group to register. It's just like applying for a temporary residence permit. It's very simple. Those with criminal records are not allowed to leave Yaoxi District unless they have a special pass issued by the sixth group."

Ming Xia thought of Qingqiu and secretly sighed.I don't know what it did wrong before.Even if the sentence is over, it can no longer leave this not-so-large Yaoxi District.

The idea of ​​asking Tu Qing about Qingqiu's details circled in Ming Xia's mind, but he took it away again.After all, it is Qingqiu's own business, unless one day Qingqiu is willing to talk to him, otherwise he still... doesn't know anything.

"What about me?" Ming Xia suddenly felt uneasy, "How much do you know?"

Tu Qing scratched his hair, looking a little troubled, "I heard from others that this branch of the Ming family is somewhat related to the Yaozu. But it is not easy for the Yaozu and humans to have offspring, and if you are lucky enough to have offspring, you will often not awaken the Yaozu. Therefore, even if the ancestors of the Ming family married the Yaozu, you are still a human being, but you just carry some recessive genes of the Yaozu."

"They said that I have a protective formation engraved in my blood by my ancestors."

Tu Qing shook his head and said: "I don't know about these things. I heard them explain that there was a great monster in the family ancestors. But to a certain extent, no one can tell clearly. The time is too long, and everyone actually knows It was listened to as a story."

As Tu Qing said, he raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, showing a look of melancholy, "It's annoying to live a long time. I remember so many things... I'm so tired."

It's really unbearable for a heartless fool to suddenly become deeply literary.

"I'm going back to work in two days," Ming Xia said, feeling so reluctant in his heart, "Do you think the sixth group will also erase my memory?"

Tu Qing asked him back, "You don't want to forget?"

"At first, I was scared to death," Ming Xia said, laughing to himself, "But if I am asked to choose now, I would still like to remember. After all, not everyone can encounter this kind of thing."

Tu Qing thought for a while, "Let me help you to ask Nanjiang. This kind of matter is not under the control of the action team, but their opinions 'Sixth Group' will still be considered."

"You and Nanjiang knew each other before, right?" Ming Xia recalled the night before Tu Qing's departure, and always felt that the change in his mood at that time had something to do with this place, and even with those people in the sixth group.How could it be such a coincidence that Nanjiang and the others couldn't come back on the day they came to check, but they came back the next day?

Tu Qing drooped his head and remained silent.Being kicked twice by Ming Xia, he said in a loud voice, "I'll talk about it later."

So Ming Xia stopped asking.

"Are you serious with Ming Ming?" Ming Xia was most concerned about this question, "What are you going to tell her?"

Hearing Ming Ming's name, Tu Qing's wrinkled face suddenly seemed to be illuminated, and his whole body became alive, "Of course it is. But our family is like this, if you want to The married object can only confess the truth to her after accepting the marriage proposal. It's too early to say such a thing, what's the point?"

Ming Xia felt like he was going to be blinded by the silly smile on his face, and asked him unconsciously, "Why do you like Ming Ming?"

Bunny or something, it is a kind of gentle and cute feeling unique to herbivores.But his family's Mingming is a humanoid tyrannosaurus rex, and even when he can't speak, he knows the principle of fighting with one word and convincing others with strength.Ming Xia always felt that such two people did not belong to the same country at all.

Tu Qing's eyes showed a gentle look of nostalgia, "As you can see, my body is ordinary, neither majestic nor good-looking. Everyone likes the white and fluffy type. Back then, raising The rabbit man brought a cage of rabbits to the market to sell, and I was the only one who would not be picked every time."

Ming Xia didn't notice that he started to analyze the past without warning, she was just... dumbfounded.

"At that time, I was just enlightened, and I heard that woman who raised rabbits was squatting in the market and chatting with the people next to her. She said she couldn't sell it anymore, so she went back to kill and eat meat. Otherwise, she would send her children to cut rabbit grass every day. ,trouble."

Ming Xia, "..."

Tu Qing smiled wryly, "Look, I was so useless back then."

Ming Xia put his arms around his shoulder and patted him, "It's not useless, there are more than tens of thousands of rabbits in the world, and you are not the only one who can sit here and call a handsome guy like me brothers."

Tu Qing punched him and smiled, "Yeah, I'm useless, but I'm lucky."

He seemed to be lost in memory, and he said slowly after a long time: "When the woman said she was going to kill and eat meat, I was terrified, but I was not capable at that time, and the cage was tight, so I couldn't run away. I just shivered and shivered. Then a little girl who went out to buy needlework with her mother bought me back."

"She told her mother, don't want snacks, don't want new headbands, but rabbits, and said she doesn't want me to be killed."

Ming Xia glanced at Tu Qing's slightly red eye circles, thinking that this is the grace of saving his life, could it be that he still wants to make a promise with his body?

Tu Qing lit a cigarette, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "The little girl is actually very bad-tempered. I bit her sweet-scented osmanthus tree and she beat me several times. I peed on her embroidered shoes, and she He also held me and beat her desperately...but I still like her."

Ming Xia, "..."

This bitch.

"Although she is fierce, she doesn't allow others to bully me." Tu Qing laughed as he spoke, "The woman who cooked the food kicked me and she saw her, and she rolled around and made her mother beat that woman. Chased away."

Ming Xia rolled his eyes at him, "Only she can bully, others can't."

Before he could finish speaking, Ming Xia suddenly realized that his family Ming Ming was also in the same way. As soon as his temper got up, he tugged at Tu Qing's ear and yelled. Mingming rolled up his sleeves and went up to beat him up.

Ming Xia sighed, "You shivering m... I have known you for so many years, but I didn't realize that you are such a rabbit!"

Tu Qing scratched his hair, "This... is probably called the baby bird complex? Who made the first person who was sincerely nice to me be like this."

"You're not looking for a substitute, are you?" Ming Xia looked at him suspiciously, "Looking for someone else's shadow in Ming Ming?"

Tu Qing rolled his eyes angrily, "Crazy."

Ming Xia jumped up, held him down and hammered him again, euphemistically calling it an early vent for his younger sister.

"For what?" Tu Qing sat up, stretched out his hands to smooth out the messy hair, and continued to roll his eyes at his brother-in-law, "That little girl happened hundreds of years ago, I don't even remember what she looked like. "

"But that's the first thing I remember since I can remember, the love and care from human beings. Not just giving me food and drink, but worrying about my safety, fearing that I will be bullied, fearing that I will be killed..."

Ming Xia reminded him, "She also bullied you."

"What's the same?" Tu Qing retorted seriously, "I am willing."

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia was still not at ease, "Have you been a monster for so long, have you ever been married? Have you ever had a litter of little bastards?"

Tu Qing knew that this was not a curse word, but he still gave him an angry look, "I'm a weak rabbit! I finally became a monster. The most important thing is to improve my strength. How can I have time to think about these? Besides... I've never met anyone like Ming Ming."

As Tu Qing said, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "Mingming is beautiful and lively, he won't look down on me for being poor, and he always protects me."

Ming Xia reminded him again, "Ming Ming is impatient, she not only beats others, she also beats you."

Tu Qing poohed him, "I want you to talk nonsense, can't I be happy? I'm happy to be beaten by her, can you control me?"

Ming Xia, "..."

Still a bitch!
