to blame

When Ming Xia came to look for Tu Qing from the urban area, he only brought two sets of clothes for a change of clothes. When he left, he found that his luggage had expanded from a backpack to two travel bags: clothes, shoes, Medicines and supplements prescribed by Mr. Hu, books bought during the disconnection period...

Ming Xia felt an inexplicable feeling of reluctance in his heart, but he couldn't explain the reason, the feeling in his heart was strange.

Or, it was just because the experience during this period had given him too much impact, dragging him out of the peaceful days in the past, so that he could have a chance to see a different face of the world.

Tu Qing shouted at him from outside the door, "Xiao Liu, come out."

Ming Xia put down the things in his hands, pulled on his slippers and walked out.

Outside the door, Tu Qing and Nan Jiang were setting up a table next to the flower bed, with a few beer crates beside them. Looking at the height of the beer crates, the words "No Drunk, No Return" immediately popped into Ming Xia's mind.

On the concrete steps next to the flower bed, the beauty was lying there watching the excitement, and Qingqiu squatted next to it, teasing it without saying a word, but the beauty seemed to be in a good mood, and didn't care about her teasing.

The fried rice and grilled skewers ordered by several people were delivered quickly. Qingqiu didn't like to drink beer, and felt that there was a bad smell of shabu-shabu, so he was given a glass of orange juice.Ming Xia put a separate plate in front of it to make it easier for it to eat. On it were grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken tenders and half a torn fried chicken.

This love of eating chicken makes Ming Xia suspect that its body is actually a fox, right?

While opening the beer, Tu Qing pushed the beauty away with his foot, preventing her from digging into the beer box.The beauty is used to being clingy to him, and she doesn't like being pushed away, so she protested endlessly.

Tu Qing jumped out a few skewers of saury from the plate, tore up the fish and threw them into a small plate at his feet, "Hey, they're all without seasoning, they're just for you guys."

The beauty rubbed around Tu Qing's calf, leaning over to enjoy its feast.

"Look at your unlucky attributes," Ming Xia sarcastically said, "All the cats I like are fierce. You are hopeless."

Tu Qing rolled his eyes at him, "I want to tell Ming Ming about this."

Ming Xia sneered, "Can Ming Ming compare to a cat? It's a live tiger!"

Tu Qing laughed out loud.

Nan Jiang on the side was also amused, "With such a big grievance, I must have been bullied when I was young."

Ming Xia snorted twice, "It's okay, if she gets tough with me in the future, I'll come and beat Lao Tu—can't beat my sister, can't I beat my brother-in-law?"

Tu Qing felt that his brother-in-law was a little silly.So what if he beat himself up?Wouldn't he be beaten by Mingming later?

When Ming Xia picked up the glass, he thought about the medicine that Mr. Hu had prescribed. It seemed that there was nothing to avoid drinking, so he happily clinked glasses with them, "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. It won't be so when I go back. I'm happy. I don't know when we will meet again." It is conceivable that his teacher has accumulated a pile of work waiting for him.

"Mingming is coming back," Tu Qing, on the contrary, didn't show any melancholy or loss, but looked excited, "I'll go pick her up then, and I'll stay with you for a few days by the way."

Ming Xia seemed to feel better.

The night wind is blowing, and the autumn insects are whispering.Although the isolation of the old city has been lifted, news of the Snake virus has been released after all, so there are still no foreign tourists.At night, the squares and streets are all deserted, no different from when they were quarantined a few days ago.

Ming Xia asked Qingqiu, "Do you want fried rice with eggs?"

"Yes!" Qingqiu hurriedly agreed, "I want fried eggs too, but I'm starving to death today, I only ate two fried dough sticks all day! I didn't bother to take a sip of water!"

Ming Xia put a few spoonfuls of fried rice on its plate, and asked it, "Why are you so busy? Don't you have time to eat? Don't you have dry food?"

Qingqiu pecked two mouthfuls on the shiitake mushroom, not interested, moved his paw aside, and complained in a low voice, "I'm so busy. A free laborer like me who doesn't have demon rights, who doesn't use his strength?"

Nan Jiang glanced at it from above the beer can.He probably wanted to clean it up, but he held back because he was worried about the inappropriate occasion, his face was so dark.

Ming Xia was delighted to see it.He noticed that Qingqiu only complained about being busy and having no food, but he didn't reveal a word about work.Ming Xia thinks it's good like this, at least one of the staff members looks serious.

It seems that the "sixth group" is still very good at conditioning people.

After eating half full, Qingqiu regained his energy.It leaned in front of Ming Xia, stretched out its wings and showed it to him, "Did you see it, did you see it, this is the seal of the demon town master, with this thing, I can form the demon sealing formation!"

The light from the street lamp was not particularly bright, and Ming Xia couldn't see where the big seal Qingqiu mentioned was for a moment, but felt that there was really a fuzzy red circle floating on top of its dark feathers.Ming Xia stretched out his hand to touch it, but his fingers seemed to pass through the red circle.

"It's amazing." Ming Xia was also happy for it, "That means you can come and play with me when you have time?"

Qingqiu glanced at Nanjiang, and said resentfully: "You can't go by yourself, you have to be accompanied by people from the 'sixth group'." After a few seconds of depression, it quickly became excited again, "Wait for this big The seal turns blue, and I can go and play with you by myself. At that time, I will have a residence permit in Yaoxi District, and I will be an official Yaozu resident!"

"Congratulations," Ming Xia comforted it very flatteringly, "Actually, it doesn't matter even if there is no big blue seal, isn't it only ten years? Think about it, it will be very fast."

"It's not in a hurry." Qingqiu raised his head slightly, and sighed vicissitudes of life, "I'm not in a hurry to find you? You are the first bosom friend in my life. You must know that the management of the demon town is very strict. Very, residents with criminal records are not allowed to leave the old city, unless they have made meritorious service and have a blue seal!"

"Then go ahead." Ming Xia smiled and squeezed its little paw, "Don't worry, Lao Tu opens a shop here, and I'll come over when I have nothing to do, and we can meet again. I'll treat you to fried chicken then."

Qingqiu was elated, "It's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

Nan Jiang stared at Qingqiu with disgust on his face, and when he saw Qingqiu staring back at him with his neck stuck, he simply turned on the attack mode, "I remember who said that? He said that he should sign up for school as soon as he got the residence permit. Learn modern knowledge. You also have to sit in a brightly lit library and take notes, with a cup of hot milk tea next to you..."

Qingqiu brazenly admitted, "That's right, of course the first important thing is to see Ming Xia after being free, and the second important thing is to go to school. Who made Ming Xia my bosom friend?"

Nan Jiang's expression was indescribable, "I'm really about to throw up."

Qingqiu became angry from embarrassment, "Ming Xia, are we bosom friends?"

How could Ming Xia dismantle this little thing, and immediately replied decisively: "Of course!"

Qingqiu was complacent.

The topic extended from the signboard of the pet shop to the business direction of the pet shop, and then naturally slipped to Ming Xia.Ming Xia himself does not reject this topic, he feels that the "Sixth Group" will definitely find out his details, but Nanjiang is willing to listen to him, and he also feels that there is nothing he cannot say, it is an ordinary job in the first place ah.

"The two uncles in my family are both archery enthusiasts." Ming Xia patiently helped Qingqiu pick out the bones, while briefly introducing himself, "there is another one who won the second prize in an international competition."

"amazing."

Ming Xia nodded, "It's amazing."

This award-winning uncle is Ming Xia's second uncle. How can I say this man... he is quite powerful, in every sense of the word.There are too many minds.Even in front of the juniors, he always had a wary face, as if everyone named Ming wanted to grab food from him.

One can imagine the attitude of the two cousins ​​in his family for the virtue of being an elder.

In fact, Ming Xia had a pretty good relationship with this second uncle when he was a child. His earliest memory of his second uncle was in the backyard of his grandfather's house, where he taught himself how to draw a bow by holding his arm.At that time, the second uncle was still young, with black hair, and loved to talk and laugh. Every time he had dinner in the old house, the children in the family loved to surround him.

But I don't know when, the cheerful second uncle in memory turned into the current sinister temperament.Even the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, which also distorts the characters of the two sons.

Ugh.

Ming Xia sighed, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite.

"I know where you work," Nan Jiang said suddenly, "Fei Teng Company, right?"

"you've been to?"

Nan Jiang smiled but did not answer.

Qingqiu, who was so focused on eating chicken, suddenly became excited, "Hey, I know this..."

Nan Jiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at it lightly.

Qingqiu seemed to be choking, and the screaming stopped abruptly.

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia couldn't figure out what Feiteng Company couldn't say.However, he didn't really want to talk about this topic. What he really cared about was Nanjiang and Qingqiu's intentions.

He passed the news that he was going back to the urban area through Tu Qing, in fact, he wanted to test whether the "sixth group" would come to erase his memory of the old urban area.Of course, if they really wanted to do this, he would never know afterwards.But he still remembers everything he has experienced so far, and he remembers all the details of every time period and every experience.

He wanted to know, how long could he remember...how long?

Ming Xia was a little restless all night, but Nan Jiang and Qing Qiu didn't express anything, and didn't even bring up topics related to this matter. Therefore, the first person who couldn't hold back became Ming Xia himself.

Ming Xia put the deboned chicken wings on his own plate into Qingqiu's plate, and suddenly realized that he had already eaten a lot of it. With such a small body, it is really okay to stuff so much meat into it?

But when Qingqiu saw the meat, he was still very interested, Ming Xia didn't want to hit it, so he had to make indirect remarks, "Shall I get you two hawthorn pills?"

"Hawthorn pills?" Qingqiu licked the meat without raising his head, casually perfunctory him, "Is it delicious?"

Nan Jiang sneered, "It's okay, it looks small, but the food it eats will be directly transformed into its monster power. It can't last. It's just eating its mouth."

Qingqiu nodded again and again, and it was the first time that he expressed his approval for Nanjiang so happily.

Tu Qing was teasing the cat, so he couldn't count on it.Ming Xia had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak by himself, "Well, Captain Nan..."

"Call me Nan Jiang." Nan Jiang interrupted him.One captain at a time, as if they were new strangers.

"Okay, Nanjiang." Ming Xia asked him dryly, "I just want to ask, the last time you came to the store with Police Officer Li... I forgot to read your ID later. This time... this time ..."

Nan Jiang couldn't help but laugh.

Ming Xia said as if giving up on herself, "Will it make me forget about it too?"

"No." Nan Jiang answered him very simply, but his eyes slid down from his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth as if they were real, then turned along the slightly open collar of his shirt, and returned to those warm and bright eyes.

He replied in a very formulaic, well-regulated and standard wording: "Because of our work needs, the leader has given a reason not to do so after research."

"It's... what?" Ming Xia was a little confused.Because he has an ancestor who is suspected to be a monster?

Nan Jiang smiled slightly, but his eyes seemed to have other meanings, "You will know soon."
