The strongest magician

放下一切愁绪，李芳谷终于可以开开心心过年。

初四李芳谷带着段一一跟着段金明去了段家一趟，一直在那里过到初九。初十那天晚上，李芳谷和段金明才风尘仆仆的到家。

The next day, Song Weiwei called and asked him and Jin Zhicheng to go out for dinner.

李芳谷询问正在为段一一准备幼儿园开学用品的爱人：“金明，薇薇姐要我们出去吃饭，你去不去？”

"Can you bring your family?" Duan Jinming carefully checked Duan Yiyi's small schoolbag, and Duan Yiyi pointed over with a fat hand: "Dad, it's a bit dirty here, please help me wash it."

“微微姐说随意，怎么样，打算一起聚一下吗？”李芳谷走过来，接过书包，去卫生间里找刷子。

"Dad, I'm missing one of my colored pencils." Duan Yiyi said with his face up while holding his own colored pencil box.

“别急，爸爸帮你找。”段金明弯着腰开始翻沙发，一边扬声问：“陆真说去不去？”

The sound of water and brushing came from the bathroom, and Li Fanggu raised his voice: "Brother Yuan doesn't know what's going on recently, he's not at home. Ah Cheng should go by himself."

Duan Jinming finally saw the colored pen that Duan Yiyi was missing under the sofa. He moved the entire sofa there and found a thick layer of dust under the sofa, as well as the biscuit crumbs and stickers that Duan Yiyi usually left behind. Debris, toy components, etc., a mess.

He sighed, maybe the family should buy a vacuum cleaner?With Duan Yiyi at home, it seems like trying to keep the house clean and tidy can only be a dream.

Li Fanggu poked his head out from the bathroom: "Do you want to take Yiyi with you?"

With paragraph one by one?Duan Jinming squinted his eyes, and when the time came, he looked at Duan Yiyi, one father after another on the left, calling, what is he?Male junior?

李芳谷看见他的脸色，立刻乖巧地闭上嘴巴，嘿嘿两声之后说：“算了，我自己去吧。”

Duan Jinming glanced at him, Li Fanggu blinked and acted cutely.

Duan Jinming couldn't laugh or cry, there was nothing he could do about it.

After a while, Li Fanggu took the dripping schoolbag to the balcony to dry, and Duan Jinming finally cleaned up the living room covered in sweat.

Duan Yiyi sat on the sofa with her chubby legs crossed, her pink mouth never stopped: "Dad, are you sweeping the floor? You sweep the floor with a mop."

Duan Yiyi corrected her: "It's not a mop, it's a broom."

"No, you just used a mop!" Duan Yiyi pouted.

"Okay, okay, it's a mop."

"Father, I can also help you sweep the floor. I'm good at sweeping the floor. I just sweep like this," Duan Yixiao gesticulated with his hands, "It's like rowing a boat, one stroke, one stroke..."

Duan Yiyi kept talking, using his mouth to imitate the tiredness of sweeping the floor, and then started singing. From selling newspaper songs to little swallows, he didn't waste a word.

段金明扶额，好可怕，段一一像只叽叽喳喳的小麻雀就没有停下的时候。

Li Fanggu came out from the balcony, saw his face, and laughed inwardly.

After Duan Jinming tidied up the living room, he was going to tidy up the closet again. Duan Yiyi grew up very fast, and some clothes were too small to continue wearing. He took a storage box and put the old clothes inside.

Duan Yiyi crawled over the ground like a puppy, Duan Jinming took one, and she shook it out, gestured on her body, and ran to the full-length mirror to look at it repeatedly, muttering in her small mouth: "Dad, this one The clothes look great. I should have a pair of trousers and boots to go with it."

“爸爸，这一件不要收！你看，这是一条小裙子，我觉得也很好看！”

"Dad, are these pants put away too? I don't want them put away."

"Dad, look at these two little socks, I can turn them into little gloves, just wear them like this, look!"

"Dad, wait a minute, I'll fold that dress for you! You can't fold it like this! It should be folded like this! Fold it like this again..."

Duan Jinming looked at the clothes that were crumpled by her, the corners of his mouth twitched.

就这样半天下来，段金明觉得自己要崩溃了。好像怎么收拾都收拾不好的样子。

李芳谷偷笑，趁着段一一照镜子的功夫，俯下身亲了段金明脸颊一下：“我去买菜，今天想吃什么？”

Duan Jinming rubbed his temples, and decided to let Li Fanggu worry about it together: "Whatever you want, you can buy whatever you want."

Li Fanggu was suddenly embarrassed, he was most afraid of the word "casual", the stall was full of dishes, and he didn't know what to choose.

So he decided to hand over this problem to Duan Yiyi: "Yiyi, let's go shopping with Dad!"

Duan Yiyi immediately dropped the clothes in his hand and ran over: "Okay, I want to eat watermelon!"

Li Fanggu blinked at Duan Jinming, and said to Duan Yiyi: "No, it's too cold, eating watermelon will cause diarrhea. Why don't you eat some kiwi fruit."

“不要，我要吃奇异果！”段一一抗议。

李芳谷不想和她争辩奇异果和猕猴桃到底有什么区别，他只知道再不把这个小鞭炮带出去，段金明也许真的要抓狂。

After Li Fanggu took Duan Yiyi out, Duan Jinming breathed a sigh of relief, the world could finally be clean.

In the evening, Song Weiwei, Li Fanggu and Jin Zhicheng sat down in the private room of the hotel, chatting while eating.

"Speaking of which, we haven't stayed at home for such a long time." Song Weiwei sighed, saying while peeling the shrimp.

Jin Zhicheng nodded and ate his food in silence.

Li Fanggu and the others are used to him like this. He has always talked less, and basically only speaks a few words when necessary, and listens carefully the rest of the time.

"By the way, Sister Weiwei, what have you been doing these days? Have you thought about going out for a walk or something?" Li Fanggu asked, testing her expression.

“天南地北地跑了这么多地方，倒也没那么热衷出去走走了。我这几天在家里看了不少电影，还会听听歌，感觉一个人也挺自在的。”宋微微不在意地耸耸肩，“这几天其实也没闲着，公司那边又拿了点文件过来，这几天我还加班加点的才把它们翻译出来发回去，毕竟还要赚钱吃饭嘛。”

Song Weiwei majored in English at university. When she graduated, she passed CET-[-] for English major, and she also took the translation certificate. When she was free, she found a part-time job online. The salary was quite considerable. I bought the house myself.

Li Fanggu can't add up to ten sentences in English, so I admire her a lot.

"Sister, you are really amazing. I can't do without admiration. I'm much worse. Now I almost rely on Jin Ming to make money to support my family. He doesn't even like to watch it with my little salary." Li Fanggu had a bitter face. Too little, too much damage to self-esteem.

“小谷，太装了就不讨人喜欢了。你们家那情况，随便你怎么在外面耍。我就一草根，当然要好好奋斗。”宋微微斜睨他一眼，“至少你们家段金明又不会嫌弃你赚钱少。”

Li Fanggu giggled: "Have you started dating Hua An?"

宋微微没有回答这个问题，她撩起长发：“小谷，我仔细想过了。我以前一直自怨自艾的，想着为什么这么多不公平的事都被我摊上，我自己一直觉得过的不好，其实我是身在福中不知福。外婆对我那么好，宋伟杰其实对我也不错，还有你们，还有涵涵，”提到逝去的好友，她沉默一下，“还有华安。”

Li Fanggu felt a little sorry when she heard her mentioning this, but unexpectedly brought up this topic again.Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, he was busy thinking about how to comfort her. Jin Zhicheng stretched out his chopsticks to hold down his hand, shook his head at him, and motioned for her to finish speaking.

"I was very sad to lose Hanhan and grandma. At that time, I thought, the people I care about are gone, why am I still alive?" She smiled confusedly, "Later, after receiving Yang Chuchu's call, I suddenly thought about it. People always look forward to the height of the mountain. I don’t know that my life may be envied by others. Yang Chuchu once worshiped me extremely. She looks weak, but in fact she is much stronger than me. She Frustrated and soon to start living again, I should follow her example."

“你能想通是最好了。”靳志诚开口。

Song Weiwei raised her red lips and smiled: "Yeah, I should have figured it out after falling down so many times." After all, Ling Duanyang pushed her away with his own hands. Since he didn't need her, clinging to her all the time would only make her feel worse. He's just tired.

她还是遵照他的愿望，好好过自己的日子，也算是给自己一个机会。

She picked up the wine glass: "Come on, let's drink!"

Seeing her bright smile, Li Fanggu couldn't help being infected, and raised his drink cup to touch it: "Cheers for what?"

Song Weiwei thought for a while, then smiled and said, "For the two years we've known each other, and for my new life!"

靳志诚也难得笑了，站起来举杯碰过来：“为了我们相识的两年，也为了你的新生！”

Li Fanggu laughed: "The year has passed, this should be our third year as a partner!" Before I knew it, it had been almost three years.Thinking of the first time I joined these two people, I was ignorant, as if they were not in the same world, every time it seemed that I was only holding back.

Up to now, the three of them have worked together seamlessly, with a tacit understanding. Every time they think about it, Li Fanggu will feel deeply moved.

当初看小说，他特别羡慕小说里的那些组合，看到那些组合团结协作，几乎无坚不摧，他就会想，要是有一天，他也能拥有这样的队友就好了。

他在玩网游的时候也总听过这样的话：不怕神一样的对手，就怕猪一样的队友！幸甚之至，他李芳谷虽然有神一样的对手，可是他还有两个神一样的队友，而且自己还能跟上这两个队友的步伐，和他们合作无间，人生中简直没有比这个更让人庆幸的事了。

"Okay, in the third year, let's drink three cups!" The three cups collided together, making a crisp sound.

After drinking the contents of the cup, the three looked at each other and smiled.Although he didn't drink any alcohol, Li Fanggu already felt slightly drunk.

酒不醉人人自醉，此情此景，更是令人血液都沸腾。

After sitting down, Li Fanggu began to inquire: "Are you going to accept Hua An now? I think Hua An is very good. Although he is a little younger, he has changed his previous impulsiveness. Now he is mature, introverted, gentle and considerate. What's more rare is that he I'm so devoted to you, it's a potential stock."

宋微微眼神迷离一笑：“想过，但是要彻底忘记凌端阳，我还需要点时间。华安挺好的，但是照我现在的心情，跟他交往，那等于是把他当备胎。这样太渣了，我自己都不能接受。等我忘记一切的，我会收拾好情绪，好好和他开始，不然对他太不公平了。”

Li Fanggu nodded, it's really unreasonable to treat people as spare tires.

Song Weiwei suddenly smiled: "Oh my god, I'm almost seven years older than Hua An, I feel so guilty. I'm an authentic old cow eating tender grass! I'd better think carefully about it!"

Li Fanggu pushed her: "Maybe that tender grass is happy to be eaten by you? Duan Jinming is also seven years older than me, we are not very harmonious together now."

"You're a man, that's different." Song Weiwei stretched out her finger, "A man can't get married until he is 22 years old. He's only 19 years old this year. I'm already 25. When he's 22, I'll be 28. I'll be old and out of shape gone."

"You women just like to boo, 28 is so old!" Li Fanggu scolded her with a smile, "Hua An didn't have any other ideas just because you were older than him, so don't blame yourself."

"Six years older! Li Fanggu, if you were a woman, would you have the courage?" Song Weiwei gave him a hammer on the shoulder.

Jin Zhicheng said silently: "Ah Yuan is more than 4000 years older than me..."

Li Fanggu and Song Weiwei immediately conceded defeat.

The chat content of the three people gradually moved in a happy direction.

Li Fanggu looked at Song Weiwei's happy smile, and thought of what Ling Duanyang did on the day Yue Cuilian died, he was very confused again.

Ling Duanyang obviously likes Song Weiwei very much, otherwise how would he know about Yue Cuilian's situation?It's like being on the sidelines all the time.And what Jiang Hanhan said, it shows that Ling Duanyang has been paying attention to Song Weiwei.

It's just that that person's thoughts are too deep, if anyone understands his thoughts, maybe it's Song Weiwei.

So, did Song Weiwei know what Ling Duanyang was thinking, and still make such a decision?

他看着宋微微一脸轻松的样子，想去猜测又不敢肯定。但是宋微微终于肯下定决定重新开始，他当然是乐见其成的。

"By the way, Ah Cheng, what is Brother Yuan up to?" Li Fanggu asked Jin Zhicheng.

Jin Zhicheng was silent for a moment, what was Lu Zhen busy with?It must be something with Ling Duanyang.

凌端阳不声不响地就回来了，他回来，陆真肯定是知情的。然而陆真什么都没有和他说。

It wasn't until Jiang Hanhan died that he learned the truth from Li Fanggu's mouth.But Lu Zhen clearly didn't want to explain.

Two days ago, Lu Zhen only left a note and left home.He didn't know what he was doing, but he knew it must be something important.

Seeing his expression, Li Fanggu stopped asking any more questions.Lu Zhen is probably no less secretive than Ling Duanyang. The things that Lu Zhen is busy with may be related to that mysterious person, and he can't get any results from asking.

他忽然又想到一个问题：“对了，姐，阿诚，有一件事我想了很久，也问了很多人，都没有答案，也许你们是知道的，告诉我一下。”

"What?" Song Weiwei and Jin Zhicheng asked with their eyes.

"I know that the vice-chairman of the Underworld Curse Masters Association is called Hua Yongshan, who is Hua An's elder brother, but who is the chairman? Not only do I not know his name, I don't even know whether he is male, female, old or young. , do you know the inside story?"

"Oh!" Song Weiwei had a suddenly realized expression, and the ending sound was very long.

She and Jin Zhicheng looked at him meaningfully, and Song Weiwei blinked: "President! Don't worry, you will see him sooner or later. Once you see him, you will know what kind of person he is."

so mysterious?Li Fanggu was at a loss, is there any difference between answering him like this and not answering?

但是李芳谷再多问，宋微微只是笑着不说话，靳志诚也默不作声，当做没听见。

李芳谷心里跟猫抓的一样，痒的不行，偏偏两人就是不告诉他。看来还是下次去问周玉吧，他肯定是知道的。

After a meal, the three of them dispersed and went home separately.

靳志诚想着陆真已经离开家两三天了，却什么消息也没有传来，不免有点担心。

然而他打开家门的一刻，发现陆真正坐在沙发上看书，见他回来，他抬起头斯文地一笑，露出左脸上浅浅的笑涡。

靳志诚本来也想过盘问他到底做什么去了，但是在看到他笑容的一刻又放弃了。

Whatever, as long as he's still with him, he doesn't ask anything.

He stepped forward and leaned over to kiss the dimple on his face: "You're back? Have you eaten yet?"

Lu Zhen closed his eyes, enjoying his kiss, and replied with a smile: "No, you can make it for me."

"Okay." Jin Zhicheng put on his apron, walked to the stove and started to work.

Lu Zhen stared at his busy back in the kitchen, but his mind returned to Qingzhou not long ago.

Three days ago, Lu Zhen followed Ling Duanyang to arrange some matters. After finishing, he went to Qingzhou, intending to meet Jin Shuyan.Zhou Qi saw him and beckoned him to pass.

陆真看着眼前看着他那双温柔清亮的眼睛，心底升起敬畏：“您打算亲自去跟大哥开口吗？”

Zhou Qi smiled: "If you want to ask someone for something, of course you have to show sincerity. Besides, You Qie has loved Zhou Qi for so many years. If I do something suddenly, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it. It's better to go and say hello first."

Lu Zhen nodded, and followed him to find Jin Shuyan who lived upstairs.

Zhou Qi knocked on the door, but the door was only ajar. With consent, Zhou Qi pushed the door and went in.

Jin Shuyan was writing something with his head down. When he saw Zhou Qi appearing, he stood up and was about to speak, when his brows suddenly clustered again, and he asked, "Who are you? Where is Xiao Qi?"

Zhou Qi smiled lightly, Lu Zhen stared wide-eyed in surprise, the elder brother was so sensitive, he found the difference in Zhou Qi at a glance.

Zhou Qi went to Jin Shuyan and dragged a chair to sit down. Lu Zhen closed the door and stood behind him.

"Youqie, sit down and talk." Zhou Qi said softly.

Jin Shuyan stared at him quietly for a while, sighed, and sat down: "As expected, you are the real master of Ayang."

Zhou Qi asked softly, "When did you find out?"

"I felt it was wrong a long time ago." Jin Shuyan pinched his brows, "Ah Yang's mouth is full of empty words, but he dare not lie to Xiao Qi. The only lie is Xiao Liang's life experience, but that's what I forced him to say Yes. Thinking about it now, Ah Yang would do that because of your instruction, right?"

“是。”周琪轻声承认，“还有呢？”

Jin Shuyan tapped the armrest of the chair with his long fingers, carefully choosing his words: "When the Duan family was besieged last time, I thought you behaved very unusually. When the magic circle was thrown down, I suspected that Xiaoqi's body There is another person. Seeing your eyes today makes me even more sure."

Zhou Qi looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "Your sense is very keen."

Jin Shuyan shook his head: "Xiao Qi is my younger brother. I am very familiar with his words and deeds. How can I be wrong if it is him. However, I can also guess about your identity. Why don't you just say it directly? Well, what do you need me to do?"

Lu Zhen looked at Jin Shuyan in a daze, and sighed in his heart, the eldest brother is really careful, and many things can be understood without knowing it. Since he guessed Zhou Qi's identity, he must also guess Ling Duanyang's identity.I don't know how many years he has pondered in his heart, but he has been able to bear it all the time, which is really admirable.

"Don't you have any other questions? Just willing to do things for me?" Zhou Qi asked with a smile.

Jin Shuyan looked up at his face: "There is a problem. Your Excellency is going to face Qing Heng directly. I only care about Xiaoqi, my brother, what will happen in the future?"

周琪神色动容，轻叹说：“幽切，你一心关心小七，我也实话和你说。我是小七的眼睛，当我醒来，小七才能成为真正的那个小七。若是我死，小七也不会活着。”

Jin Shuyan squeezed the armrest of the chair fiercely: "What if I hope that Xiaoqi can survive?" He has been wondering why Xiaoqi's eyes are clearly intact, but he can't see anything. It turns out that his strength is restricted up.

Zhou Qi lowered her head and sighed: "Why don't I want to live? Don't worry, I will do my best to protect myself. It's just that Qing Heng has to get rid of him! Ayang and I have planned for so long to get rid of him. Now, everything is ready and we only owe Dongfeng, this time, I will uproot him."

Jin Shuyan frowned: "Your Excellency so sure?"

“十成里，至少是有九成的。”周琪笑吟吟地说。

Jin Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, tapped his fingers on the armrest and asked, "Dare to ask, why is Dongfeng?"

Zhou Qiwei sighed, "Human."

正想着，靳志诚关上油烟机，把饭端过来。他洗了青菜，切了两个香菇，榨出汤底，煮了一碗荞麦面，面上还摊着一个金黄透亮的荷包蛋，看起来色香味俱全，令人食指大动。

With a smile on Lu Zhen's face, Jin Zhicheng pushed the noodles in front of him and said, "It's a bit hot, wait a moment, I'll bring you the chopsticks."

Lu Zhen took a sip, and the noodle soup tasted refreshing and delicious. He raised his head and leaned over to kiss Jin Zhicheng, pried open the corner of his mouth with the tip of his salty tongue, and slid across his lips, letting him taste the delicacy together.

With a smile in his eyes, Jin Zhicheng sat opposite him, watching him bury his head in eating noodles.
