lanterns illuminate rivers and mountains

That afternoon Chu Ci took Ye Zhen to the train station, and Xuanlin and Long Jiwei sent them downstairs.

Ye Zhen was a little bit reluctant, took Long Jiwei's hand before getting into the car, and asked, "Can I come back when the school is on holiday?"

Long Jiwei said: "No need, let's take a step and see. We are only living in the Northeast temporarily, and maybe we will return to Beijing soon."

Ye Zhen was wearing the black pullover sweater that Long Jiwei had bought when he first arrived, and the collar of his white shirt was turned out, looking very refined and elegant, but less childish.

He pursed his thin lips tightly, his eyes swept back and forth on the faces of Long Jiwei and Xuan Lin, and after a while he stood on tiptoe and gave them a hug.

Xuan Lin hugged him backhandedly, and sighed: "I feel like sending my son out of the cave, ah, I'm really old..."

Long Jiwei didn't say much, and patted Ye Zhen on the shoulder lightly.He is not the kind of person who is used to showing his feelings in front of others. Although he is very calm on the surface, there is a subtle embarrassment in his eyes.

The Ninth Office specially sent someone to drive them off. The driver poked his head out and patted on the door with a smile, obviously urging them.

Chu Ci pushed Ye Zhen lightly, "Go ahead, you go up and sit down first, I have a few words to say to Long Chu."

Ye Zhen obediently climbed into the car and put the suitcase next to the seat.He didn't have much to bring, except for the mathematics and chemistry textbooks specified by Chu Ci, a set of cow pajamas bought by Long Jiwei, and winter clothes prepared by Xuan Lin.These things can be fully packed in only one suitcase.

Looking out from the car window, Chu Ci stood in front of Long Jiwei and didn't know what to say, with a dignified expression.Xuanlin listened indifferently, and lit a panda cigarette leisurely and smoked there.

In the end, Long Jiwei patted Chu Ci on the shoulder, Chu Ci smiled, and seemed to say, "Thank you."

Why thank you, didn't he come here specially to pick him up when he was going south?It should be Long Jiwei thanking him.

Ye Zhen looked at these adults suspiciously, Chu Ci opened the car door and sat in, and finally waved to Xuanlin and Long Jiwei.

The car slowly drove out of the community, and the figures of the two people became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

Ye Zhen felt a little downcast, drooping his head in silence.

Chu Ci didn't speak, and sat by the side to read a chemistry professional book.His side face was handsome but pale, and the corners of his lips were drawn down a little. He looked like a serious person who didn't talk much.

From the appearance, it is impossible to imagine that he is so talkative when facing acquaintances, that he can chat with Long Jiwei on the phone for two hours.

Will you live in their house after you go to Beijing?Will he still call Long Jiwei every day?Wouldn't it be possible to hear the voices of Long Jiwei and Xuanlin every day?

Ye Zhen thought of Kurosawagawa again. Is that kungfu really better than his own? If he has the opportunity to go to Japan to slaughter the entire Shandi clan in the future, will he still have a chance to meet him?

The young man was thinking aimlessly, when suddenly Chu Ci asked, "Do you miss your parents?"

Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment before realizing that the parents he was referring to were Xuanlin and Long Jiwei.

"Um... it's fine."

"Long Chu is a very good person, and he will return to Beijing soon."

Ye Zhenyan said: "They said the same about you."

"What are you talking about, I'm a nice person?" Chu Ci laughed, shook his head and said, "I can't do it, you will know in the future."

Ye Zhen said "Oh" expressionlessly, and sat on the seat blankly.

From the corner of Chu Ci's eyes, he caught a glimpse of the buttons on his cuffs being undone, so he pulled his hand over, buttoned them up, and stuffed them into the cuffs of the sweater.A series of movements are very natural, like a gentle elder taking care of a child.

Ye Zhen smoothed his cuffs cherishingly, and smiled at Chu Ci.

Chu Ci had already lowered her head to read a book.

The car stopped at the gate of the train station, and a plainclothes staff member from No. [-] Office had already been waiting there. After exchanging greetings with Chu Ci, he helped Ye Zhen carry his luggage and walked to the waiting hall.

"I'm only responsible for sending you to the platform, and two of my colleagues will go on the road with you. Kid, is this your first time going to Beijing? Have you seen ***?"

Ye Zhen shook his head.

The staff member obviously belonged to Long Jiwei's faction, and they were very enthusiastic about Ye Zhen: "In the future, the uncle of the Ninth Department will take you to play in Beijing. There are still quite a lot of places worth visiting in Beijing. Long Chu said that you like to eat snacks." Right?"

This time Ye Zhen nodded without hesitation.

The man took out two chocolates and stuffed them to him: "This is for you."

Ye Zhen didn't have a deep understanding of chocolate in this era, and he had never seen this kind of chocolate balls wrapped in gold paper.There were hazelnuts and grape kernels in the heart of the ball, and he tasted it carefully for a while in his mouth, before asking anxiously, "Is there any more?"

"..." The staff said in black: "I only have two left, and I will definitely buy them for you in the future."

Ye Zhen carefully folded the gold paper and put it in his pocket, and said seriously: "Then you must remember."

staff member:"……"

Although it is not the peak season, there are still people coming and going in the waiting hall. When passing between the two rows of seats, you have to hold your breath and turn sideways.

Chu Ci settled Ye Zhen, and stuffed the suitcase into his arms: "Hold him well, I'll go buy a bottle of water, and I'll be back in five minutes."

Ye Zhen then really hugged the suitcase and sat obediently on the chair without moving.Chu Ci felt relieved, and felt that the child was really good. Before leaving, Xuanlin kept nagging him to be careful about Ye Shisan's escape, which was completely unfounded.

So he left Ye Zhen there alone, and went to buy water with confidence.

Ye Zhen sat there shaking his calf, curiously watching the people around him crowded around with their heads sweating profusely.It is said that walking in their direction will lead to the small gate leading to the platform. He has never seen what a train looks like with his own eyes. Although he wants to see it, he is afraid of Chu Ci's prohibition and dare not really run go.

When he was restless, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Ye Zhen," a hoarse and mellow male voice whispered, "Is that why you went to Beijing?"

Ye Zhen turned his head sharply, Kurosawagawa bent down, his lips almost stuck to his ear.

"It turns out that you have automatically given up your hatred for the Shandi family. However, this is also a good thing for you."

Ye Zhen's eyes widened slightly, then he narrowed his eyes tightly in a moment, and said word by word: "You think beautifully."

Kurosawa stood up, smiled condescendingly at the young man, and remained calm.

The two of them looked at each other, standing and sitting, as if the noisy background around them gradually faded away, and there was no sound.After a while, Kurosawagawa took half a step back and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll wait for you outside."

The moment his heel landed on the ground, Ye Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand like lightning, put his four fingers together, palm down, and stabbed straight at Kurosawa Chuanxiao's waist point!

This acupoint is not like those written in martial arts novels and you will laugh wildly when you click it, but it is one of the extremely important fatal acupoints on the human body. Jiangxi "Five Hundred Coins" classified the [-] acupoints into categories, and finally listed six. Xiaoyao acupoint is one of the must-kill acupoints, which shows the danger.

Ye Zhen gathered at least [-]% of his strength in that blow, and his four fingers broke through the wind in an instant. As long as he touched the acupuncture point a little, Kurosawa might fall over on the spot!

However, at the very moment, with a crisp sound of "Pa!", Kurosawa slapped Ye Zhen's wrist hard, and at the same time stretched out his hand to his face.

Ye Zhen didn't expect that he would be slapped away, so he hurriedly turned his head to avoid it.However, Kurosawa's hand turned in the middle of the way, and without any strength, it lightly caressed the side of the boy's face.

That movement was very gentle, even a little too intimate.

"Your uncle is back." Just when Ye Zhen turned his face on the spot, Kurosawa stopped him on the spot with a word, then smiled and waved, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Ye Zhen's face changed, and his lips trembled with anger.He turned his head, and Chu Ci was walking towards this side through the crowd.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Ci noticed Ye Zhen's expression was different at a glance, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"..." Ye Zhen took a deep breath, and then slowly let it out after a while, expressionlessly said: "No, it's nothing."

Chu Ci handed him a bottle of fruit juice, Ye Zhen took a sip reluctantly and said, "I want to go to the toilet."

"Do you know where the bathroom is? It's too messy here...Forget it, I'll go with you." Chu Ci picked up the suitcase, and before Ye Zhen could stop him, he went out first.

Ye Zhen had no choice but to follow behind.The two walked all the way to the bathroom. At this time, all the compartments inside were locked, and someone outside happened to turn off the faucet and walked out shaking his hands.

Chu Ci happened to go over to wash his hands. Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Zhen said hesitantly, "Chu...Uncle Chu."

Chu Ci hummed.

"Are you tired? Let me massage your shoulder."

Chu Ci laughed: "Okay. Yo, you're quite obedient."

Ye Zhen was full of guilt, standing behind Chu Ci, not daring to look into his eyes through the mirror, just lowered his head and pressed on his shoulder a few times.The most important thing about acupoint acupuncture is to pinch and recognize the acupoints. Ye Zhen is an expert among experts in this area. After only a few presses, Chu Ci felt quite comfortable and couldn't help but close his eyes.

Ye Zhen's face changed slightly, and he raised one hand slightly, aiming at the back of Chu Ci's head.

If he uses his strength well and hits him lightly, Chu Ci will wake up from a coma for about ten minutes.

Ye Zhen gritted his teeth, and swung his hand down violently.

Who knew that at this moment, Chu Ci suddenly opened his eyes and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?" He tilted his head reflexively, and turned his hand to grab Ye Zhen's wrist!

He looked thin and pale, who knew that his reaction was so fast and his hands were so strong, even Ye Zhen was a little surprised!

"Ye Shisan, you..." Chu Ci didn't finish his question, Ye Zhen tripped him to the side of the logic table, then raised his palm and landed on the back of the neck with a precise blow!

That area is the most dizzy place, Chu Ci didn't even have time to utter a word, she only struggled a little, and then her body sank.

"Sorry, Uncle Chu." Ye Zhen lifted the unconscious Chu Ci, put him down against the wall, and said in a sad low voice, "I'm sorry."

He rubbed his face against Chu Ci's neck, got up and walked out without looking back.

The waiting hall was crowded with people, and people from Office Nine stood by their seats waiting for them to go back.

Ye Zhen squeezed out of the station with the flow of people, the sun was shining brightly on the road outside, and there was a lot of traffic everywhere, and he couldn't see where Kurosawagawa was at all.

Ye Zhen lost his way almost instantly.He walked around the four corners of the street, and as far as he could see were identical high-rise buildings, traffic lights flashing back and forth, cars beeping their horns.

He couldn't find Kurosawagawa.

Maybe that man is gone.

Ye Zhen looked down at his left hand which was still wrapped in bandages, and made up his mind after a while.He followed the direction leading to the city center, squeezed into the crowd of people, and walked slowly.

When Chu Ci woke up again, she was already lying in the hospital.

It sounded like mosquitoes were flying around my ears, but I heard a group of people arguing carefully, one of them was the loudest and most aggressive: "I'm not talking about you at the Long Department, Chu Ci has just been discharged from the hospital, how is he doing?" I know, why didn’t you ask your people to follow them closely? Your son knocked Chu Ci unconscious and threw him in the toilet! Fortunately, he was seen and called the police! Otherwise, what would you ask me to do if something happened? !"

Xuan Lin coughed: "This is Ye Shisan's fault..."

"It's not just wrong, you haven't taught this child well?! And you, Lao Long, what's going on with this child, have you told me exactly?"

Xuanlin said weakly: "Okay, Han Yue, when Chu Ci is discharged from the hospital, I will treat you two to the Maldives for a week of honeymoon..."

Han Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed back and forth at Long Jiwei and Xuanlin: "That's enough! Fortunately, I'm in Dalian, otherwise, if I heard the news in Beijing, I would have a heart attack..."

"Han Yue..." Chu Ci mumbled in a low voice, "Why... why are you here?"

There was a moment of silence in the ward, and Han Yue rushed over with a trembling voice: "How are you? Don't, don't! Don't move! Doctor! Nurse! Where are people, where are people!"

Chu Ci struggled to sit up, but just got dizzy and almost fell back.

"I'm fine, don't make a fuss...Long Chu, where is Long Chu?"

Long Jiwei was originally sitting far away from the sofa, with the collar of his windbreaker turned up to cover most of his face, trying to create a feeling of "I don't actually exist".As soon as Chu Ci called him, he immediately stopped pretending to be transparent, walked over quickly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Long Chu," Chu Ci whispered, "I lost your son."

Long Jiwei said angrily: "If you lose it, you will lose it! Let Xuan Lin beat him up after you find it! How do you feel, is your head still dizzy?"

Chu Ci leaned on Han Yue's shoulder and panted for a while, her eyes slowly focused, and said in a low voice, "I'm okay. I didn't expect that I would be plotted against one day."

Han Yue started chattering again: "I told you to stay at home a long time ago, and you insisted on running all the way to the Northeast, now you know what I said is right? You are always like this, never listen to me, early If you know, I should come with you..."

As soon as he started talking, Chu Ci listened to him patiently, and asked after a while, "What about Ye Shisan?"

Han Yue was still immersed in the feeling of preaching and couldn't extricate himself. Hearing this, he immediately cursed: "Where did this kid go? If he finds me, he must beat him up!"

"Are you kidding? You're only 15 years old." Chu Ci weakly rubbed his temples, and asked Xuanlin: "What's going on with Ye Shisan, why did you run away? If you don't want to go to Beijing, just tell us." , did you force him to leave Dalian?"

"..." Xuanlin hesitated for a while, and said, "Well, I suspect that he went to find Kurosawagawa..."

"Kurosawa River?"

Xuanlin briefly explained the relationship between Kurosawagawa and the Shandi family, and said again: "This person is a difficult character. He came to challenge Ye Shisan and said that if he won, Ye Shisan would not be able to touch the Shandi family again." Anyone from us. Originally, our son wanted to fight, but at this moment, Shandi Ren sent people to the school to kidnap, and the matter was very big. The superiors urged us to send the children to Beijing as soon as possible... The political atmosphere here Already very nervous, the Mountain Consortium originally came to invest in an important project."

Chu Ci didn't understand these things, so he asked casually, "Shan Diren?"

Han Yue reacted abruptly: "Isn't that the family consortium engaged in the research of genetic weapons? Last time they brought the latest research results, but you ate them! Later, because of this, they even sent agents to get the dragon Ji Wei's fate."

Xuanlin immediately put on a face of "what can you do to me if I eat it all".

Chu Ci was a little dazed when he heard that, and asked, "It's Ye Shisan that Shan Diren wants to kidnap? Want to use Ye Shisan to avenge Long Chu?"

The other three people in the ward looked at him with "Why are you so smart" at the same time.

"..." Chu Ci said angrily: "I don't understand political struggle! Do you have a specialization in the arts? Don't you know what is going on in fine chemicals?!"

Han Yue hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, okay, there is a specialization in art, anyway, you don't need to specialize, it doesn't matter if you don't understand... Let's think about where Ye Shisan is going. He ran out alone , will it be caught by the Shandi family?"

"——Han Yue!" Chu Ci became even more angry: "What do you mean you don't need to attack, you can explain it clearly to me! And that's not the way to explain that there is a specialization in surgery, you just..."

Han Yue grabbed Chu Ci into his arms, pressed his mouth desperately with his hands, and called the nurse in a panic: "Hurry up and call the doctor! The patient is dizzy again! Hurry up and give him some sedatives, and he can sleep for a day after the treatment." The kind that won’t wake up after doing everything overnight, hurry up!”

The nurse staggered in fright, stumbled and ran to the office: "Doctor, doctor—! The patient is not well—!"

Chu Ci: "..."
