even if you are a man

"Are you not leveling?" Song Xiang asked.

The scabbard replied: "Waiting for the New Year's Eve."

"New Year's Eve in the game?" Song Xiang asked, "Is it interesting?"

“Generally fun, but quiet and lively.”

This statement is too vague and hazy, but it is also very attractive, Song Xiang asked: "What do you mean?"

The scabbard probably felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he said, "Do you want to go together?"

Song Xiang nodded immediately.

Riding on the night wind, the two of them planned to go up a small hill beside Feiye City.Song Xiang followed the scabbard out of the city gate, keenly felt that his movements became more cautious, and suddenly felt strange, "What's wrong? What's the boss?"

"I killed a few immortal cultivators on the road just now," Dao Sheath explained, "They called a lot of people."

"...How many people are there?" Song Xiang just asked, and saw "many people" in his mouth not long after. Visually, there are hundreds of them, and they are like candles not far from the city gate... …

From afar, I heard someone from them saying: "Report, we found that the target is connected with a man of Xianxiu. Our people didn't keep up, but guess they may be going out of the city." It sounds like... how is it like chasing a suspect? like.

The two retreated quickly and returned to the safe area of ​​Feiye City to hide.

"They are so busy during Chinese New Year?!" Song Xiang lowered his voice, and suddenly remembered something, "Wait, the so-called 'several immortal cultivators'... How many are there?"

"A dozen or twenty." Said the scabbard.

Song Xiang felt his head ache a bit: "What kind of killing spree are you doing during Chinese New Year?"

The scabbard said, "They did it first."

"……All right."

Fighting is definitely not enough, Song Xiang said, "Is there any way to run? It's best to swagger, but without anyone noticing..."

After finishing speaking, Song Xiang immediately had an idea, and then turned into a cat standing on two legs - probably because of the lack of coordination of the limbs, in short, Song Xiang couldn't learn to walk on four legs anyway, and felt tired even standing up.

Sheath: "...a good idea."

So a cat walking on two legs and a wolf walking on four legs swaggered out of the city gate one after the other.

However, when Song Xiang passed by the group of "many people", he suddenly heard someone in the crowd say, "Huh? Look! This cat is so strange, could it be some hidden mission?"

Another person responded: "Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year really have good luck, why don't you call and see?"

Fuck you guys have a bit of imagination, Song Xiang tightened his scalp and ran away immediately.

"It can understand human language!" A group of people immediately eager to try and gear up, "Hurry up!"

How could Song Xiang's short legs compare to human legs... Just when he was about to be hit by a spell, the scabbard jumped up, grabbed Song Xiang's back neck, and moved to the side quickly and violently He jumped and ran away quickly.

So people became even more excited: "It must be a hidden mission, and there are wolves! Follow them!"

Song Xiang was running with the scabbard in his mouth, and the whole cat was bouncing violently with the steps of the scabbard, and the hair all over his body was blown back by the wind.

The sky was so dark that Song Xiang could keenly feel the flickering abilities of various lights behind him. These lights couldn't reach the scabbard, which was fast and fast, but it happened to guide them the way forward.But the road ahead is very long, and it feels like I will never run to the end, and I can always run like this.

The two are currently in an animal state, and they don't know what will happen if they die, but Song Xiang has no sense of crisis at the moment, and all he has in his mind is relaxation, and all other thoughts have gone to the sky.Song Xiang involuntarily closed his eyes and opened his limbs to meet the blowing wind.

After about ten minutes, Song Xiang felt the footsteps behind him getting weaker and weaker, and the wind on his face was getting weaker and weaker. Then, he was put down by the scabbard.Song often looked around, and it turned out that they had already left the previous group of people and arrived at the hill they wanted to go at first.

Both were restored to human form.

Song Xiang turned around and looked at the scabbard for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.

The corner of the scabbard's mouth was slightly bent, looking at him calmly, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Probably because it feels like we are two lonely and free idiots, Song Xiang thought.But I can only think about it, and it would be hypocritical and stupid to say it, so he lay down on the ground in a foolish way, and replied, "Of course I laugh because I am happy. Don't you think that the New Year's day has come like this? Did you have a good run just now?"

The light joy that only hung on the corner of his mouth with the scabbard finally spread silently and slowly to his entire face, and even when he spoke, there was a hint of smile in his tone, he asked: "Isn't it only you?" I'm running?."

It was the first time Song Xiang saw him smile like this. He was very surprised. He gave a thumbs up, selectively ignored his question and said, "Not bad, not bad, so handsome."

Then he took his thumb to measure the small area on the tip of his little finger, and he said cheaply, "It's only a little bit worse than my brother."

The scabbard was no stranger to his shameless behavior. He sat down beside Song Xiang, turned his head and asked, "Do you drink?"

"Hey, I'm still here for a picnic." Song Xiang sat up stiffly and said, "Yes!"

Then I saw the scabbard take out the birthday present that Song Xiang gave him last month from the package——

A thousand years to drink together.

Such a special moment, such a name, don't really say it, it's quite emotional.

So the two of them faced the direction of Emerald Leaf City with both faces, drinking with the night wind, you and I drank one by one, and there was no communication, except for the occasional clink of glasses.

There are only dark trees and grass leaves on the hillside, and the soft and gorgeous lights of Feiye City are on the bottom of the hillside. Song Xiang looked at it and felt that he had a little sense of the "quiet and lively" feeling.

This feels good, especially for someone like Song Xiang who really likes quietness but doesn't like too much quietness. Then he suddenly realized something and asked, "You were here last year?"

Dao Xie took a sip of wine and replied lightly: "Yes."

Song Xiang reached out to give out the cup, "Alone?"

The scabbard bumped against him with a crisp sound.He said, "Alone."

Song Xiang suddenly thought of Mickey, "Where's your brother?"

"Work, he doesn't stop all year round." Sheath said, "What about you? How can you be alone?"

"I don't have a good relationship with my dad." Song Xiang originally wanted to use this sentence to lightly bring the topic to the past, but he didn't know if it was because he drank too much alcohol or for some other reason, and there was an inexplicable strong confession in his heart Yulai: "My dad thinks I killed my mom."

The scabbard didn't speak, and turned to look at him quietly.

Song Xiang continued with a calm gaze: "My whole family is a doctor, which means that my parents, grandparents, grandparents, are all doctors. So I was educated since I was a child that I want to be a doctor. My dad himself is a doctor. He is more rigid, and I am only 40 years old, so I have high expectations, so I am even stricter. I was afraid of him since I was a child, so I was very obedient."

"Don't look at me now. When I was young, I was the captain, a three-good student, and the monitor. There were piles of certificates at home. I was the kind of person who all the teachers and classmates in the school knew about my glorious history." Song Xiang laughed and blinked again, "Of course it's very popular."

"But then one day, I suddenly realized that I didn't want to be a doctor at all, and I didn't want to follow the path he planned for me. I was promoted at my age, got married at my age, and had children at my age. So I filled out the voluntary form in the third year of high school. At that time, I temporarily changed my choice, and I went to S City alone to go to university. My dad was very angry." Song Xiang paused, "You can't use anger, it should be called anger, very, very angry."

"When the notice came, he beat me like a pig's head. I didn't dare to go out to see people for about a week. Now that I think about it, I really...I'm so afraid of him, but I actually have the courage to stand in front of him alone. Next, I walked out of the house and went to university... Later, I met an old professor at the university, the one I told you before, the person I admired a lot, he taught me to find what I like and set goals. "

"When I graduated from senior year, I took the money I earned in college and my... work results home. I wanted to tell him and prove it to him. But he tore my results in front of me. Don’t let me go home, and don’t recognize me.”

"I was also angry, so I turned around and went back to City S." Song Xiang paused for a long time this time, then suddenly fell back and lay on the ground without warning, raised his head to look at the sky, and spoke very slowly , "At night, my mother secretly planned to chase me back behind my father's back, but something happened on the way... My father never talked to me again, and I never went home."

"The 22nd century, an era where traffic is so safe..." Song Xiang covered his face with his right arm and covered his eyes, "So sometimes even I can't help but think, am I really wrong? So outrageous, if I don't mess around, I'll be a doctor."

There was silence for a while.

After a long silence, Song Xiang's emotions gradually calmed down, and suddenly he heard the scabbard say calmly: "I was the complete opposite of you when I was young. I was the type whose teachers and classmates at school knew something bad about me."

Song Xiang moved his arms away from his face a little, revealing half of his eyes to look at the scabbard.

"My parents divorced when I was young, and my brother and I followed my father. He was busy with work, and he didn't care about us at home for a few days a year. My brother was eight years older than me. He went out to start a business very early, and he was also busy." Sheath thought I thought for a while, "Because they don't care about me, so I always try to do something to attract their attention."

"But of course I didn't succeed, and I gradually realized that they didn't care about me anyway. I have been living blindly since then, I don't know what I want to do, and I don't know what to work hard for. Anyway, I have everything. Life No direction, no enthusiasm, every day is the same."

"When I was 16 years old, I saw "Soul of the Army" by chance. How would I describe it?... It was like I had been dreaming for the past 16 years. Suddenly, someone punched me, and I finally woke up." The scabbard said calmly. Said, "Although Dao Shen said later that this is the most immature and most stubborn book he wrote, it has a different meaning to me."

"He changed my life." Sheath said slowly, "It's not too much to say that."

"So do you know why I like Sword God so much?"

Song Xiang had put his arms back on his face at some point, tightly covering his eyes, and answered in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

There was silence again.

Not long after, the scabbard got up suddenly and walked a few steps, looked in the direction of Feiye City and said: "The time is coming, get up."

Song Xiang wiped his face indiscriminately and stood up, returning to his original appearance.

"Five, four, three..." The scabbard began to count down.

"two."

"One." The scabbard suddenly turned to look at Song Xiang.

In an instant, thousands of fireworks bloomed behind him, the night sky turned into day in an instant, and people's play and cheers could be heard faintly.

Song Xiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason, and he seemed to finally understand in a trance why some of the plots that have been used rotten always last for years.

"Happy New Year." Sheath smiled at him.

It was like smashing fireworks, stars and moonlight into his eyes, Song Xiang only saw a piece of soul-stirring, extremely bright and extremely soft light.

The light penetrated through his eyes all the way to his heart.

Song Xiang froze for a moment, then laughed, "Happy New Year."
