Watching the child in the water mirror close the window and draw the curtains, Xing Luo stared at the silent window for a while.

Xia Sanjun has already run out of oil, what will he say to Xia Ye?Do you mean background?or identity?Will their contract be mentioned?What kind of arrangements will there be?

Xing Luo drank his tea, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, thoughtfully.

At this time, a subordinate knocked on the door and came in, and whispered the news that he had just gotten beside Xing Luo.

"Is Yan Li making any moves?" Xing Luo was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, "Where is he now?"

"He's heading south."

The answer is not surprising at all.There is Xia Ye in the south, and Yan Li needs Xia Ye's blood to replace the blood of the half-demon and half-blood in the back, so that the mixed blood can become a near-pure-blooded demon.There is also Xingluo in the south, and he also needs Xingluo's territory. The latter may be even more urgent, because there are more and more revived monsters, and the competition for the territory is becoming more and more fierce.

Xing Luo had already said that he would protect Xia Ye, but for Yan Li, this trip could kill two birds with one stone.If he knew that Xia Ye was the Flower God, the situation would be even worse.

Xia Ye's blood can save that half-demon, Xia Ye's tears can undo the curse on Yan Li, he is simply the perfect antidote for the father and son.

In addition, Yan Li has been staring at Xingluo's territory in the south...

Xing Luo stroked his chin: "Be careful recently, report any abnormalities to me immediately."

When Xia Ye woke up, he would go for a walk outside when he got up early, but on this day, he felt that there were more monsters sneaking around looking at him, and he thought that there were more monsters that hadn't been discovered.

It's just that she didn't feel any malice, so Xia Ye pretended not to know.

After returning home, he washed his clothes on the second floor, wrung them out and hung them to dry on the balcony.Today is the weekend and there are no classes, but I need to find a repairman to repair the washing machine at home. The washing machine has been broken for two days.

"Xiaoye, grandpa is going out, you cook first." Xia Sanjun's weak voice came from downstairs.

Xia Ye hesitated to speak. At this time, he hoped that his grandpa would not go out, but in the end he just said: "Well, okay, is it okay to have egg custard for lunch? The eggs have been kept for a long time, and if you don't eat them, they will go bad."

"Okay, you can figure it out."

Xia Ye dried all the clothes and saw that the sun was shining today, so she took out the quilt and pillows to dry them.When the weather is good, every household is like this, and you can see a piece of colorful quilts drying in the air from a distance.

The master who repaired the washing machine came late, at nine o'clock.He disassembled the washing machine for overhaul and said that there was a problem with the steel wire below.Xia Ye looked at it for a long time and didn't quite understand it, but in the end the washing machine can be used normally, so that's fine.

The repairman took the money and said with a smile: "This two-drum washing machine is too old, and many accessories have been discontinued. The repair money is enough to buy a new smart all-in-one washing machine."

Xia Ye patted the washing machine: "Isn't it still usable? I'm used to it, so I don't want to change it."

Sending off the repairman, Xia Ye prepares to choose vegetables for lunch.His craftsmanship is really mediocre, it can only be said that it is cooked, and it will not kill you, so don't expect anything else.

The door was knocked twice, and he saw through the window that it was the grandmother next door. He thought it was because the seasoning was not enough, so he borrowed the seasoning, or gave him some delicious food cooked at home.

Opening the door, Grandma handed him a box of packaged chocolates. The corners of her eyes were filled with joy: "Qiaoqiao and her mother are here, and this is for you from Qiaoqiao."

"Thank you Qiaoqiao sister for me." Xia Ye accepted the chocolate, he saw a black car parked next door, and Qiaoqiao's mother was standing beside her on the phone.Even though he hadn't seen him for a long time, he recognized him immediately.

The aunt next door was originally a smart and capable person, but now she looks like a professional woman.She is carrying luggage down, quite a lot, is she going to stay here?

"Xiao Ye." A girl in an orange dress stood in front of Xia Ye and smiled at him, "Do you remember me?"

"Sister Qiaoqiao." Xia Ye said, "Long time no see."

He felt a different power in this girl, what happened to become a warlock?Speaking of which, the proportion of warlocks and demons in the crowd has indeed increased a lot.

Xia Ye's smile remained unchanged, but she restrained her breath.

"You are still the same as when you were a child." She laughed, and looked at the surrounding environment again, "I still remember this place. Before this place was not a concrete floor, it was all stones with a lot of weeds. We are here to find Ants and snails, catching dragonflies and antflies, playing with beetles and grasshoppers. I remember a neighbor with a very beautiful child."

She was caught in the memory, and her eyes were covered with the orange color of old photos.

"Here, I planted loofahs before, and built a loofah stand with bamboo." She pointed to an open space, "I picked loofah flowers secretly here, and you let the wind go by. Grandma found out, and I ran away from you." Still standing there stupidly."

Xia Ye then recalled a wave of childhood memories, because he learned spells since he was a child, so he had very little time to really play. mirror.

He can remember the thing about catching bugs, and he hasn't forgotten the experience of being chased by wasps and bitten by mosquitoes.Even when I was caught by my grandma that time, I ended up staying and eating a big apple.It is very interesting to take it out individually, but this is the daily life of the most normal child.

The relationship between the two seemed to develop rapidly in the shared memory, Qiaoqiao laughed: "Do you still have the doll and skirt I gave you?"

Xia Ye laughed: "The doll is still there, and the dress was donated to the orphanage in your name."

Qiaoqiao is not surprised: "It's also very good. I always thought you should be a younger sister. How can you have such a beautiful younger brother? I also want my mother to have an equally lovely younger sister. You are more beautiful than when you were a child. I like you There should be a lot of girls, right? It’s different every day outside, but here it’s still slow, and everyone hasn’t changed.”

They sat together and chatted for a while, mainly she said, Xia Ye listened.Qiaoqiao talked about the life of herself and her mother in the city, neither good nor bad, as if it was a different world from the countryside here.

This small town has always been very quiet. Everyone in the town knows each other. It can't be said that it is conservative and closed, but it is definitely not as busy as in the city and the neon lights are bright.

Among other things, the elementary school students outside are tired of using all kinds of high-tech products, and Xia Ye doesn't even have a smart bracelet in his hand.

"Qiaoqiao." Her mother stood there and called her.

"This is my contact number, remember to add me." Qiaoqiao gave him a piece of paper, then stood up and walked towards her mother.

Xia Ye held the piece of paper and heard the mother and daughter's conversation from afar.

"Is it the kid from the next door? I didn't expect it to be this big."

"Ah, yes."

Seeing the closeness of the mother and daughter, Xia Ye didn't feel any strong fluctuations in her heart.Whether it is a city full of various fantasies, or parent-child relationship, or memories of childhood friends, he doesn't care much.

"I may be a naturally cold person." Xia Ye thought to himself, and was about to go back to the house. It was almost 11:30, and it would be too late if he didn't cook.

He didn't close the door, and from the outside he could be seen scurrying about in the kitchen, preparing lunch deftly.

During this period, he kept feeling that something was watching him, and which monster was following him?

After a while, Xia Sanjun came back under the scorching sun. He didn't tell Xia Ye where he went, and Xia Ye didn't ask.In the last few days, Xia Ye wanted to accompany his grandpa to pass peacefully.

"What kind of girl does Xiaoye like?" Xia Sanjun asked suddenly.

The chopsticks in Xia Ye's hand stopped, because Xia Sanjun never asked about such things.He lowered his head and started eating as if nothing had happened: "I don't have anyone I like."

"Really? If you meet someone you like in the future and want to be together, bring it to Grandpa to see. Don't get married just for the sake of getting married. The most important thing is that you like it."

"Ah."

Xia Sanjun frowned and swallowed the porridge: "In our old house, Grandpa left you something that has been handed down from our ancestors. When you grow up, go and get it. It's very remote there, and young people may I don't like it, but the scenery is very good."

"I haven't grown up yet." Xia Ye lowered her head, "Not yet, it will take many years to grow up."

So, stay for two more years, okay?

Xia Sanjun put away his reluctance, smiled and patted Xia Ye's head: "Sorry, Xiao Ye."

Xia Ye felt a numb pain in his heart, he couldn't tell what he was feeling, it was just a sudden feeling that time was passing so fast.

He ate half a bowl for this meal, and said, "Today, too much salt was added to the dishes." Too much salt was added, and the saliva that was swallowed was salty. How could he eat it?

He really wanted to ask if there was any way to stop all this, but he couldn't get out of his mouth.

As a warlock, Xia Ye could already see the dead air on his grandfather's face, which cannot be stopped by manpower, not to mention the relief on his grandfather's face - he has reconciled with this world.

"Grandpa, when are we going to Firefly Valley tomorrow? Tomorrow is sunny, so it should be very lively." Xia Ye said again.

Xia Sanjun nodded: "Tomorrow afternoon."

After washing the dishes, Xia Ye went upstairs: "There are already mosquitoes, it's better to bring some toilet water in the bag. But it seems that there is no toilet water at home."

He is packing his schoolbag and preparing things for tomorrow.

There are not only fireflies in the Firefly Valley, but in fact it is a half-wild and half-artificial park with beautiful scenery.Everyone not only likes the beauty of fireflies like stars at night, but also likes the joy of boating on the lake with green mountains and green waters during the day.

It's just that there are a lot of mosquitoes in places with many vegetation and puddles, so you will be reminded to bring mosquito repellents when you go to the Firefly Valley.

"Grandpa, I'm going to buy a bottle of toilet water." Xia Ye walked out with the change.

"Go early and come back early."

Xia Ye walked out on the path in front of her house. There was a small alley, and after a few turns, there was a convenience store selling toilet water.

On the way, he met many people, all of whom he knew, and greeted each of them.They also knew Xia Ye, and they would all ask what they were going to do.The owner of the convenience store also knew Xia Ye, and he was wearing big underpants and holding a cattail fan, insisting on waiving zero for him.

He walked back with the bottle of toilet water, but met a man in the alley.

Tall and thin, wearing a black fisherman's hat and a cold-colored windbreaker, a few strands of curly hair are exposed, and a pale face with a slightly sick look.He took out a handkerchief and coughed a few times, then looked up at Xia Ye.

This is a very narrow alley, just enough for two people to walk side by side, there is no room for any more.

The man stood here motionless, his clothes out of place with the mold-covered mottled walls on both sides, obviously waiting for someone, or just waiting for him.

This person is the one Xia Ye met in the mall yesterday. He held the bottle of toilet water with a relaxed smile on his face, but stepped back bit by bit: "Big brother, who are you waiting for?"

The man didn't speak, just smiled and looked at Xia Ye.

That smile was so strange, like a child looking at a struggling caterpillar in the flames, with a little pity, and more fun.

Xia Ye turned and left the alley, he had a bad premonition.

He walked another way back home, the door was open, the house was quiet, the induction cooker in the kitchen was off, but the kettle was still smoking, and the splashed water wet the surroundings, indicating that he had not been away for a long time .

Xia Ye shouted: "Grandpa?"

No one in the house responded, he went to the backyard, there was no one in the backyard, he went upstairs, and there was no one upstairs.

He suddenly felt short of breath, and his heart was almost frozen and stopped beating.

Suddenly footsteps came from downstairs, surprise flashed across Xia Ye's face for a moment, and he immediately turned his head and went downstairs.But it was not Xia Sanjun who appeared in front of him, but the person who blocked him at the entrance of the alley.

Xia Ye stood on the stairs, staring at him blankly, his hands clenched the railing tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands stretched.

"Where is my grandfather?"

The visitor coughed twice, then stuffed his handkerchief into his pocket: "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Bai Ze."
