soul seeker

20 years ago.

In the corridor in front of the delivery room of the hospital, a man and two women waited anxiously.

The man lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, trembling uncontrollably, he turned his head and asked the woman nervously, "Sister, is there any accident?"

"Can there be any surprises!" Before the woman called eldest sister could answer, the woman opposite rushed to answer, "It's not a dystocia, it's just a cesarean delivery. Don't be crowed!"

"I know the second sister, but after all, I'm twins, I'm always very uneasy!" The man put his hands on his chest, "Half my life is about to die...why don't you come out? The doctor didn't say it was going well. Will it be out in an hour?"

Hearing this, the older sister laughed, "She's only been in for 10 minutes, brother-in-law."

"Ah? Really?"

As soon as the phrase "really?" came out, all three of them laughed.

Sure enough, less than 10 minutes later, the cry of a baby came from inside, and then the surgeon walked out. While taking off his mask, he smiled and said to the three people who came up to him: "Mother and child are safe, it's for the daughter, one Three catties, seven two and one four catties, the nurse is dealing with it, and you can see it after a while. The husband should go in and see his wife first."

"Oh! That's great, that's great!"

Hearing the doctor's words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. The eldest sister decided to go in with the man to see the younger sister. Before going in, she asked the second sister to call the family.

"Oh, don't look at me!"

In Tongzilou, Yingchen didn't want to maintain that embarrassing state all the time, so he asked Wu Ci to teach him to continue the practice of the soul seeker while he had time, so as to restore the feeling of getting along with him before.

"But I don't watch how you teach?"

"But you look at me and I don't dare to move!" Ying Chen held the balloon and shouted at Wu Ci with a flushed face.

"Okay." Wu Ciyi followed him and turned around to look out the window, "Go ahead."

Originally, Yingchen thought that if he didn't look at her, she might make some progress, but she didn't expect Wu Ci to turn her back and say nothing, which made her even more nervous.

Because I was always absent-minded and wanted to see what he was doing.

Because of this, I always trip over things, lose my balance and often fall.

"Hey! You're talking to me! I'm even more nervous when you keep silent like an invigilator!"

"Tsk." Wu Ci turned around impatiently and frowned at Yingchen.

Yingchen himself knew that he was a bit pretentious, and watched the sullen Wu Ci walking towards him with some anxiety, and pushed back with the deflated balloon.

Before taking three steps back, he was suddenly grabbed by his hand and hugged into his arms, "What exactly do you want?"

"I, I didn't think about it..." Yingchen couldn't bear Wu Ci's serious gaze, lowered his head and muttered, "I just want...to be able to talk and get along with you..." He rested his forehead on Wu Ci chest, "I always feel that the recent me is very irritating."

"That's it," Wu Ci let go of him, "Then continue."

"Is that so? It's good that everything is safe." The old woman nodded happily while holding the phone.

When I hung up the phone, the old woman's wife just came back from outside.

"Ah, old man! Our third child is born!"

"Really?!" Hearing this, the old man excitedly ran towards the old woman in the house, and threw all the newspapers in his hand on the ground excitedly, "Is it a boy or a girl? How much is it? Is the third child okay?"

"It's all right, a pair of girls."

"Great," the old man scratched his head happily, "Then let's plant those two trees this afternoon." He looked at the two saplings in the yard leaning against the yard wall.

In the afternoon, the old woman squatted in front of the flower bed and dug the soil, "Old man, this flower bed is not very big, wouldn't it be too crowded to plant two trees?"

"What are you afraid of? They just need to be crowded. I bought these two trees for a pair of granddaughters. This is just right, which means that they will grow up together for a lifetime. It would be better if they are crowded."

Sure enough, as the old woman said, after the trees are planted, the distance between them is less than a palm.

"Father, grandpa, hurry up!" Two little girls in the same clothes and with the same hairstyle shouted to the man holding the cake inside, jumping around in the yard.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, it's here." The man said and put the cake on the small bamboo table in the yard, "Dad! You too, come here after frying this dish, anyway, I've made too much We can't finish eating. Come, Xiao Xu, Xiao Mian." He sat down and hugged the two girls one by one on his lap, "Don't run around all the time in summer, and get sweaty all over."

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper and wiped the sweat from their foreheads one by one.

"Dad, when will Mom be back?"

"Your mother has to work overtime, I guess it will be very late today." The old man walked to the table with the dishes and put them down.

The two girls were a little unhappy when they heard it.

After the man noticed it, in order to divert their attention, he took out a lighter and lit the "5" candle on the cake, "Okay, okay, come sing and make a wish, haven't you guys been arguing for cake for a long time?" Is it?"

After all, children are children, so they immediately forgot about the fact that their mother came back late, and happily sang birthday songs around the cake.

Looking at the smiling faces of his two granddaughters, the old man couldn't help wondering whether he would feel as happy as himself if his wife was still there.

15 years later.

"Crimson Twilight."

a suburb of a city.

Ravenous Spring called out to the dazed evil spirit.

"Ah?" Fei Hun turned his head and looked at Kuweichun in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Why are you always in a daze recently?"

"Oh, don't you think..." Fei Hun frowned and looked at his hands, "Don't you think I've been crying less often recently?"

"Well," Greedy Spring glanced at the distant city with a smile, "I thought you didn't notice it. Then besides this, is there anything strange about you?"

"There is also the matter of evolution. The time since the last evolution has passed..." Fei Wan thought for a while, "Half a month has passed, and I am neither so hungry nor evolved, which makes people feel a little uneasy." After speaking, it clenched its fist and released it several times, "Is there something wrong?"

After hearing what it said, Guweichun sneered, "I think you have evolved a lot, and you can say this kind of thing. Maybe it's just the same as the last evolution, it's internal, and you didn't feel it."

"No, I also felt it last time, unlike now." Its brows were still frowning, and its face was solemn like never before.

"If you keep thinking like this, will you get the answer? Let's relax a bit, let's go, and go to the next place." Lu Weichun said and walked to the city ahead.Although he said so on his lips, he couldn't help but worry in his heart.After all, I have no idea what an evil spirit of this level will look like in the future.

Well, forget it.After hearing what Kuweichun said, Fei Hun followed up without hesitation, "Hey, let me ask you, why do you call me Fei Hun?"

Greedytail Spring smiled and looked back at its eyes, then at the red dusk gradually falling behind it, "Don't you think it's very similar? Your eyes, and that one."

Following the direction that Kuweichun was looking at, Fei Hun looked back at the sky on the horizon, half of the setting sun was filled with red light that blurred everything, "Does it look like it?"

"Like."

"Honey, do you want to replant the pair of trees? The crowns are almost connected together."

On a summer evening, the couple sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, looking at the two trees in the flower bed.

"Oh, okay. I happen to be free this weekend, but I need to say hello to my father in the hospital before moving, is he the one who planted it?"

On the weekend, the man in the hospital told the old man about it, and the old man nodded in agreement.After all, the two trees are too close to each other to grow properly.

"However, moving both out of the flower bed will make people feel uncomfortable. It's better to move one out to the corner of the yard." The old man drank his saliva slowly and said.

"Well, just do as Dad said." The woman who brought back the fruit after washing answered.

On the afternoon of the weekend, the man dug the soil for the roots of the tree in the flower bed, looked at the roots and frowned, "Oh, it's not good."

"What's wrong?" The woman who came to help came up and took a look, "Ah! Why are the roots growing together?" After speaking, she knelt down and looked carefully.

"Then there is no way to transplant them like this, unless the two are together, but there is not enough space in the corner."

"Then just don't move," the woman said to the man with a smile, "Isn't this good? They can't be separated when they stick together, just like our two girls, who can't be separated. Don't play with other kids."

"Okay." The man smiled and filled the soil back.

13 years later.

"Great! Got it again!"

In the tube building, Yingchen held the deflated balloon and asked Wu Ci excitedly: "How many times is this today?"

"Chapter 26." Wu Ci embraced him and sat on the back of the sofa facing him.

"Really?! Has it been so many times?"

"Yes, after all, you are serious this time."

Yingchen looked at the balloon in his hand and felt extremely happy, not only because he had grown a lot compared to before, but also because after these few days of practice getting along with him, he was able to talk to him as well as before.

"Then, it's time to move on to the next step? The one catching the sparrow?"

"Yeah. But..." Wu Ci stood up and walked towards him, and took the balloon in his hand, "That requires the cooperation of the red ring, but there is no such thing now, and I guess I need to apply to the higher-ups before practicing."

"Oh……"

"Mirror Sisters are here!"

In the classroom before class in the morning, everyone is still making noise before the teacher comes.

A boy saw Xiao Xu and his sisters walking in holding hands, and shouted maliciously.Because he thought of approaching them as friends before, but was ignored, that's why he deliberately used this nickname to satirize them.

But the two sisters were not unhappy when they heard this nickname, but looked at each other and smiled, walked to their seats and sat down.In fact, they also knew the boy's intention for this nickname, but not only did they not hate it, but they even liked it a little bit.

Because they are sisters, the teacher specially arranged for them to be at the same table.

After a while, the teacher came and started roll call.

"Jiang Xu." This was the elder sister's name, but the younger sister stood up, and she was sitting in the elder sister's seat.This is a game they often play, to see if the people around them can find out.

But the two of them look so much alike that people around them hardly recognize each other.
