Shopkeeper and God

, leaned his body, and fell limply.

The young man took a breath, pushed the cat demon's body to the side again before sitting up, wiped off the sweat from his brow, raised his eyes, and saw Lu Xing and Baochen coming out of the passage next to him , Behind them were a few children trembling with fright.

The young man's expression froze. He probably didn't expect anyone to appear here.He looked at his body in a mess for a moment, then at the corpse of the cat demon next to him, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Lu Xing on the other side opened his mouth first: "Under Lu Xing, shopkeeper Qi Xie, sir Is this... an exorcist?"

When the young man heard his name, the expression on his face relaxed a lot, and then he patted his clothes and stood up, saying: "My surname is Xu, Xu Ruzhuo, I am indeed a demon exorcising master... But, this...Mr. Shopkeeper, Why did you appear here? Also, this one is..." Xu Ruzhuo smiled calmly, and then looked at Baochen and those children.Lu Xing had no expression on his face, and said, "This is Baochen, a part-time worker in my shop. These kids have nothing to do but come here to explore. I don't know if they are bored of life or think they will be lucky. As Lu Xing spoke, Chen Yiguang "hissed" inhaling cold air as he saw the knife.From these words, Xu Ruzhuo could somewhat understand the reason. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Xing walked over, looked at the corpse of the cat demon, and asked, "What is Mr. Xu doing here? Are you here for an adventure?"

As soon as Lu Xing heard this tone, he knew that he was not in a good mood right now. Xu Ruzhuo smiled and said, "Of course not..."

"Are you here to hunt the demon? Have you greeted that Xi Ying on the west mountain?" Lu Xing finally laughed, but the smile was superficial, which made people feel a sinking heart.Baochen knew that he was woken up by a phone call from the school. He had exhausted himself a lot last night, so he rushed over before he recovered, and also met such a monster exorcist who appeared here out of nowhere... his mood really couldn't get better.He looked at Lu Xing helplessly, and called Chen Yiguang to his side, intending to take the three children out first.

"No... But I did say hello to Mr. Xi... I'm here because I have something to do." Xu Ruzhuo's eyes flickered, as if he didn't know what to say.Lu Xing squinted at him, Baochen gestured to him and led the three children outside.Xu Ruzhuo hesitated for a moment, and seeing them approaching the door, he said again: "Mr. Shopkeeper, is he suspicious of me? We exorcists are on the side of human beings, so we won't be able to attack a few children, will we?" Besides, sir is here to find these children, I still need to deal with some things here, if sir is fine, leave it to me here. "

Lu Xing didn't speak in an obvious tone of driving people away, but Bao Chen who had already walked to the door suddenly called him.Lu Xing felt irritated for no reason. He turned his head and saw Baochen standing by the door. Except for Chen Yiguang, the three children were still crying, and the other two were sobbing, tightly pulling Baochen's trouser legs, snotting. Tears flowed all over Baochen's clothes.

Lu Xing was stunned, and saw Baochen reaching out to knock on the door, and a layer of familiar rainbow-like light suddenly appeared in the void—exactly the same as the reinforcement outside the sealed place that sealed Suxin.

"How did you do it! Who made the reinforcement! Mr. Xu?" Lu Xing took two steps towards Baochen, but turned his head and waited for Xu Ruzhuo as if remembering something.Xu Ruzhuo also had a surprised face. He was inexplicably pointed out by Lu Xing, and his face was still blank. He retorted: "I have been fighting monsters here since I came here. How can I have free time to do reinforcements?"

"The reinforcement is specially for people with spiritual power. Children can come and go freely. How do I know that you didn't set up the reinforcement because you wanted to monopolize this place?" Lu Xing seemed to have decided that Xu Ruzhuo was the "murderer".But Xu Ruzhuo calmed down after hearing what he said, paused, and said with a wry smile: "In that case, how did the gentlemen get in?"

Lu Xing was dumb. Indeed, if the reinforcement had already existed, he and Baochen would definitely not be able to enter here.In an instant, Lu Xing knew that he had wronged someone. He held a breath in his throat but couldn't get it out. He could only stare at Xu Ruzhuo a few more times before turning around and walking in front of Jia Jia, reaching out to touch the transparent barrier. After a colorful stream of light, it was discovered that the weather outside was originally bright, but it didn't know when it started to fog.

"Is it demonic?" Lu Xing murmured.Bao Chen nodded.Lu Xing said, "I'll take the children out." He was about to bite his fingers, but Bao Chen grabbed his wrist and lowered his voice, "Based on your current conditions, do you think you can protect them well?"

What Baochen said is indeed true, he knows his own body best, under the severe exhaustion last night, it is already a miracle that he can survive until now.And if he rushed out with the children... He didn't know how many monsters there were in the monster atmosphere, and if he fell, what would the unarmed children do?

Lu Xing was both annoyed and anxious. He was so anxious that he felt a fishy and sweet smell rising up his throat, and his heart ached.As soon as he was in such pain, his brows frowned even tighter, and his waist almost bent down.Seeing the obvious swallowing movements of his Adam's apple, Baochen knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, and couldn't help but wanted to reach out to help him, but Lu Xing pushed him away without a trace.

Chen Yiguang also noticed that Lu Xing was not feeling well. He was so small that he couldn't help him, so he could only hold Lu Xing's hand, as if silently comforting him.This time Lu Xing didn't shake off, the pain in his heart subsided, he looked back as if remembering something.Xu Ruzhuo was still standing there looking at them with a worried expression on his face.But in Lu Xing's eyes, behind Xu Ruzhuo, on the wide stairs, there was the soul of a boy who looked like a teenager.

This soul stood there silently, Xu Ruzhuo couldn't see it with his back turned, but it didn't mean others couldn't see it.Wu Wenchao and Zhou Ziqing seemed to have discovered something from Lu Xing's expression, and looked tremblingly at the discovery of the stairs, and as soon as the soul fell into the eyes of the two children, the two children burst into screams one after another, crying loudly. Shouting "There's a ghost!", she even tugged on Baochen's trouser leg and didn't let go.

And these two earth-shattering cries obviously reminded Xu Ruzhuo. The young man opened his eyes wide and looked back. He was standing closest to the soul, so he could clearly see the soul that was very familiar to him. Pursing his lips, accompanied by the screams of the children, he said lightly:

"Ah, it was discovered."

forever brother (4)

"Ru Zhuo, you usually listen to your brother most, right? So how about you play a game with your brother now? Yes, how about playing a game... how about hide and seek? Brother is serious, Ru Zhuo, hurry up and hide, absolutely, I can't let my brother find you."

The memory burst out, Xu Ruzhuo opened his eyes wide and looked at the translucent soul in front of him.He didn't know whether the expression on his face was ecstasy or sadness, but his eyes were so intense that the soul finally noticed his gaze, so he turned his eyes to look at this inexplicable human being.After a while, Xu Ruzhuo showed an expression as if he was about to cry, and moved half a step towards the soul with difficulty, trembling his lips, but called him clearly——

"elder brother".

This claim came too suddenly, the soul froze in place as if struck by lightning, and Lu Xing and Bao Chen over there also showed doubtful expressions, but only Xu Ruzhuo, he even stretched out his hand to the soul expectantly, like that The son even wanted to embrace the soul in his arms.

"who are you."

However, the soul spoke, the voice was faint, but it was exactly the same as the voice in Xu Ruzhuo's memory.The light in the eyes of the young exorcist cracked, he seemed to have never expected such a reply, and a bewildered expression crawled across his face for a moment.After a while, he became a little anxious, and asked for confirmation: "It's me, I... I'm Xu Ruzhuo."

He unsuspectingly reported his name to the soul. He didn't realize that what he did was inappropriate. The soul seemed to frowned because of Xu Ruzhuo's attitude of completely trusting it, and even moved away without a trace. She hid away, as if she wanted to avoid Xu Ruzhuo's eager gaze.

However, Xu Ruzhuo was still immersed in a kind of eagerness that only he could understand. He didn't even wait for the soul to speak again, and then said: "Do you remember what happened ten years ago? There was a serious monster invasion here, is it true?" My brother solved this problem by himself. But, but... do you remember, brother? From that day on, my brother disappeared from this world, no one was seen when he was born, no corpse was seen when he died, and even his soul could not be brought back. It was also after that day , There are ghosts in this school. I can't help it. I was only a teenager at that time, and I didn't have enough strength. In the past ten years, I have been improving my strength every moment. I just hope that one day I can Come back here, it would be nice if...even if I could know what happened to my brother at that time...but it turns out that my brother has really...already..."

Xu Ruzhuo was talking nonsense, but finally couldn't continue, he shut up, weeping.

But the soul was unmoved, or in other words, he didn't understand what Xu Ruzhuo was saying at all.He curled his lips, seemingly dissatisfied, and finally said coldly, "You must have mistaken someone."

"Impossible!" Xu Ruzhuo retorted abruptly, "For the past ten years, I have been cherishing my brother's photo, I, I... have admitted the wrong person?" Xu Ruzhuo
