Cheng Jiao was walking on a long road alone.There was a thick, substance-like mist around him, and when he reached out to touch it, the mist dripped from his fingertips like flowing water.

Why are you on this road?Where are you going?Cheng Jiao asked himself in his mind, but his footsteps didn't stop, his soul seemed to swing to a high place, watching his body like a withered tree, walking in the fog as thick as sea water.

It seemed as if he had walked for tens of thousands of years in his consciousness, Cheng Jiao finally felt exhausted, he discussed with his legs in his mind: "Take a break, or don't leave at all, I am really exhausted. "The legs seemed to have really listened to his words, and the speed gradually slowed down. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as he stopped, he would not be able to walk no matter what.Just thinking about it, the fog in front of him spread slightly to the sides like a wave encountering a rock, as if something was blocking it.Cheng Jiao squinted his eyes and looked hard. It was a figure in a blue robe.

The figure turned around, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and he looked very kindly: "Hey, what a good time."

Seeing this man's smile, Cheng Jiao was very happy, and couldn't help laughing too.

In the blink of an eye, that person somehow suddenly appeared in front of him, pressed his face tightly against his, and asked with a smile, "Then you have never been submerged in water for 14 years?"

I don't know why this sentence made Cheng Jiao feel great fear, he panicked and wanted to turn around and run away, but his hands pushed hard on his shoulder.He fell into the fog, gritted his teeth, and waited for the sharp pain when the bridge of his nose hit the ground, but he didn't wait. He opened his eyes, and when he came, the road under his feet disappeared at some point, and he floated quietly In the fog, the fog no longer confuses him, but hugs and supports him from all directions, making him feel the long-lost comfort.

His consciousness gradually sank, and he was about to fall asleep, but there was a little light from the direction above his head. He wanted to let himself fall asleep like this, but he was vaguely thinking about the direction of the light, as if there was something he had to do Things are waiting for you there.He struggled with drowsiness for a while, managed to gather a few strands of waking consciousness, and struggled to draw towards the light above his head.

"Jiaer!" Suddenly someone behind him stopped him.

Jiaoer?Are you calling yourself?Nobody ever called themselves that.Cheng Jiao is just a name that has just been born. No one in this world has ever called it, except for the mother.That day, my mother gently hugged her in her arms, stroking her hair slowly, and shaking her gently like holding a baby. I haven't been so close to my mother for several years. I feel a little shy and want to get up, my mother However, she held herself down and couldn't see her expression, but her voice was still as gentle as usual: "Don't call me by your current name, okay? This name wasn't chosen by your mother, and she doesn't like it. Wait someday if you can go out , let’s call him Cheng Jiao, okay? Jiao’er?”

I looked up at my mother and smiled coquettishly: "Mother likes to think suddenly. Where else can the son go when the mother is here? Now the mother thinks of the son's name again? Besides, Jiaoer is a girl's name, I Where is it called?"

His mother seemed to be amused by him, and lightly helped his hair crown: "It's arrogance, the arrogance of the proud son of heaven."

"Jiaer!"

Cheng Jiao came back to his senses, turned around, and it was indeed his mother, smiling and waving at him, the fog behind her was pitch black.

Cheng Jiao wanted to smile at her, but he didn't know why he grinned and turned the corner of his mouth down, showing a dumbfounding expression.Cheng Jiao felt a little wronged and a little angry, but most of all he was happy.Without even the slightest hesitation, he left the beam of light behind his head and turned to face his mother.

The mist was like water, Cheng Jiao paddled very clumsily, he couldn't reach his mother for a while, his brow was sweating in anxiety, but his mother still smiled softly, as if telling him not to rush and take his time.

Cheng Jiao slowed down.That's right, what's the rush, my mother is standing there waiting for me.

The mother and son looked at each other through the mist and laughed.

A hand slowly protruded from the black mist behind the mother, holding a sharp knife about an inch long, like a snake stalking its prey, silently probing towards the mother's neck.The mother didn't know what was going on behind her, she still looked at Cheng Jiao with a smile.

Cheng Jiao's eyes were tearing apart, he wanted to scream, roar, beg for mercy, and curse that hand with all vicious and dirty words.But the moment he opened his mouth, the mist around him suddenly turned into living things, twisted into dozens of strands, like a swarm of bloodthirsty and excited snakes, they burrowed into Cheng Jiao's mouth and nose, easily taking his breath away.Cheng Jiao scratched in vain, tears flowed embarrassingly on his distorted face, and veins crawled up his neck.

"Mother... Dear." There was a thick blood in front of my eyes, and the mother not far away was still smiling gently, and the hand stopped moving, only hanging quietly by the mother's neck, as if mocking her. Cheng Jiao: Look, I'm waiting for you.But so what, you still can't do anything.

Can't do anything.

There was something stagnant in the chest, as if it was about to explode, and it was throbbing and hurting.On the way of fleeing, Cheng Jiao never shed a single tear, but at this moment, in front of his mother, a tear finally couldn't hold back and slipped down secretly.

He is the child who is most used to acting like a baby in exchange for his mother's laughter and affection.Those fears, resentment, and unwillingness turned into full of grievances involuntarily.He murmured in his heart: "I'm so tired, Mom. I'm so tired. It's dark, cold, and scary here. I don't want to be here anymore. Can I go to Mother's side? I'll go to Mother's side. "

The hand did hear him.It shook the sharp knife jokingly, and suddenly raised it high!

Something was about to explode in his chest.Cheng Jiao's fingers twitched slightly, waiting for that moment, but suddenly something tightly bound his chest, Cheng Jiao was shocked, he was strangled to let out his last breath from his chest, his consciousness completely fell into a boundless chaos In the darkness, the last scene in front of me was the knife, which finally fell down.

-------------------------------------

"I told you not to play like this! Something will happen! What should I do now!"

"Really...really dead?"

"It's all hard!"

"Isn't it... Ordinarily, the time is good..."

"Grandpa, he's such a little brat, and he's been hungry for several days. The time you calculated is not necessarily accurate, is it? Besides, did you find out? After he entered the water, did the smell on his body disappear?"

"Could it be... can't it... I've misjudged? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, so, Cong Yin, you go and pack your valuables, let's run."

"Where's the big house we bought, don't you want it?"

"...Forgot all of a sudden, why don't we just let him go?"

"Hey. I'll just push him out of the Lianshui Cave, and he will be swept into the sea in a quarter of an hour."

"Hey, wait! When you pulled him up, did you see it? Did you open the scales?"

"Impossible, you can't die if you open the scales. Besides, he looks like a dead fish, I didn't see it."

"Bastard! Float out with the scales open, and someone will see that something big will happen! Go and have a look."

"I won't go, I want to go to you, I will never do dirty work for you again. I pulled him down, I'm afraid, I won't go."

"Sin, I really do. Picking you up is worse than picking up a turtle. Let me do everything. What do you want you to do. Get out of the way and go aside."

Cheng Jiao opened his eyes, and grabbed a hand that was touching his rib.

Shang Bieyun was holding the hand that was about to reach out to touch a corpse, but suddenly the corpse grabbed his wrist, and when he was about to yell in shock, he met Cheng Jiao's eyes.The eyes that mixed extreme hatred and indifference pierced Shangbieyun in an instant, and the voice that kept him from screaming turned into cold sweat in an instant, oozing from the top of his head.

Cheng Jiao coughed violently and let go of Shang Bieyun's hand.The man with the scary eyes just now seemed to be just a flash of Shang Bieyun's hallucination.What was in front of me at this time was clearly another child who was drowned and vulnerable.

Cong Yin rushed over to look at Cheng Jiao, Shang Bieyun stared at the red palm print floating on his wrist, and was stunned for a while.

Cong Yin saw that Shang Bieyun was in a daze, and while giving Cheng Jiao a flattering voice, he yelled anxiously: "Master! Come here! You're not dead, don't be afraid!"

Shang Bieyun: Come on, you, I don't know better than you whether he is dead or not?It wasn't you who nearly broke your wrist.

Seeing that he was silent, Cong Yin yelled again: "Are you afraid that he will sue us? That's impossible, we saved his life twice." Then he patted Cheng Jiao's face: "You won't sue us. Yes, we are kind. Right? Right?"

Shang Bieyun looked at Cheng Jiao who was about to faint again after being photographed by her, thinking that he had indeed been a bit of a fool in the past few years, and picked up some weird things to go home.No, I have to take some time to go to Zhanming's place, ask for a talisman, a pendant, etc., and come back to ward off evil spirits.

-------------------------------------

When Cheng Jiao opened his eyes again, he looked at the delicate carvings on the Babu bed in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, then turned his head again, and saw two masters and servants, one big and one small, squatting beside the bed, waiting eagerly.

Seeing him wake up, Cong Yin jumped up and clapped his hands happily, probably because he was glad that he didn't count as murder after all.Shangbieyun was much quieter than Cong Yin, just smiled: "Yo, I woke up quite quickly."

Cheng Jiao looked at his smile and the mole at the corner of his eye, overlapping with the last scene he saw before falling into the water.He didn't know what to say, he just nodded: "Yeah."

Cong Yin was overjoyed: "There is fish porridge on the stove. It's been hot. I'll bring it over. You must be hungry." Then he trotted out of the room, and came in after a while: "I forgot to ask , do you eat ginger?"

Cheng Jiao's voice was still uncomfortable, so he nodded to her.Cong Yin got a response, and while muttering something like "much easier to serve than him", he ran away happily.

As soon as she left, the room fell silent for an instant.Shang Bie Yunji sat on the low couch next to the bed, looked at Cheng Jiao leisurely, and didn't speak.Cheng Jiao always felt that there was a half-smile in his eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable.After hesitating for a long time, he came up with an opening line: "Shang..."

Before the words could be exported, they were cut off by Shang Bieyun: "What the hell are you?"
