Buried fire

When the phone rang, Yin Zhu was cooking in the kitchen. The lights in the living room were bright, and the sound of the TV was turned up to just the right volume. Lu Huanyi picked up the phone and glanced at it, frowned, and pointed his fingers on the screen, but it didn't connect. Didn't hang up either.

"That thing," Yin Zhu came out holding the spatula, and pointed to the phone in his hand, "it's ringing."

"I heard it," Lu Huanyi's finger still clicked on the answer button, raised the phone to his ear, and said to Yin Zhu before standing up and walking into the house, "This is the phone."

"Mobile phone." Yin Zhu repeated, nodded and went to the kitchen.

Yin Zhu probably fell in love with cooking. Although the taste is very... indescribable, it is always a meal that he does not have to do it himself. Although Lu Huanyi eats it with peace of mind, it is hard to say anything.

For example, I put salt into sugar for lunch, and when I poured soy sauce, I shook my hands and even threw the bottle into it...

Lu Huanyi felt that it was better for him to cook without him.

"Hello?" The person on the other end of the phone called again, "Sui Sui?"

"Ah," Lu Huanyi fell on the bed and looked at the ceiling, "Brother."

"Well, where have you been? Why aren't you in the mountains?" Lu Zhenshu's voice was panting.

"Master told me to come down the mountain to look for Ming Snake," Lu Huanyi put his arms under his head, "I just came down the mountain, the town at the foot of the mountain."

"...Finding the Snake is a matter for all of us ascetics, why did you go down the mountain?" Lu Zhenshu clicked his tongue, "It happens to be around the time of the Chinese New Year, making nonsense."

In fact, there is still a long time before Chinese New Year.

It's not even Christmas yet.

Lu Huanyi looked at the ceiling and twitched the corners of his mouth, "You can say this in front of Master, he can cry and make noise at the door of your room for three days and three nights."

"...you come back first," Lu Zhenshu said, "I'll talk to Master."

Lu Huanyi didn't speak.

There was a figure shaking at the door of the bedroom, probably because Yin Zhu was ready to eat and called him to eat.

"Why should I go back? I eat, drink, and have fun at the foot of the mountain, so I don't want to go back," Lu Huanyi said, "It's a fool who always wants to run up the mountain. You are a fool."

"Lu Huanyi," Lu Zhenshu read out his name seriously, "Last night, we found out that the town at the foot of the mountain has obvious fluctuations in evil energy, and the source of this evil energy is Ming Snake, you continue there stay..."

"It's okay, I won't take the initiative to provoke him," Lu Huanyi sat up, and then glanced at the bedroom door, "If I meet you on the road, I will turn around and run, and if I can't run, I will beat him. Isn't it just a snake that can't be beaten?" I still can't say it, big brother, I went to eat, bye bye, we'll talk next time anyway, I don't necessarily answer the phone!"

After reading the last sentence in one breath, Lu Huanyi took a deep breath to catch his breath.

A few messages came from the phone quickly, but he didn't look at it, he put the phone aside, stood up and opened the bedroom door.

Yin Zhu was standing outside.

"What did you do?" Lu Huanyi glanced at the dining table.

"How many of you are looking for Ming Snake?" Yin Zhu did not answer Lu Huanyi's question.

"Ah, probably the whole cultivating world is looking for it." Lu Huanyi glanced at Yin Zhu, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yin Zhu shook his head, moved to the table and sat down.

"You are also a snake. Is Ming Snake your elder brother?" Lu Huanyi picked up the chopsticks and stuffed some mushy vegetables into his mouth, and continued without changing his expression, "Or your ancestors?"

"...to eat." Yin Zhu said, and paused for a long time after speaking, "Why are you looking for Ming Snake?"

"There's something wrong, my master didn't tell me what happened specifically," Lu Huanyi said, "Maybe I asked him to play mahjong."

"It's a bit difficult." Yin Zhu said.

"I think so too." Lu Huanyi agreed very much.

After eating, Yin Zhu took the bowl to the kitchen to wash. When he came out, Lu Huanyi put on his coat and was about to go out. He was taken aback, and subconsciously took two steps forward, "Where are you going?"

"The canteen at the gate of the community," Lu Huanyi was just about to reach out to get the scarf, but halfway through the stretch, he realized that the scarf was kept in a ghost farm by himself, so he could only retract his hand and pull up the collar of the sweater inside, "Go and see Is the boss still around?"

"Which one?" Yin Zhu followed.

"The one who lied to me," Lu Huanyi pointed at Yin Zhu, "don't ask me what I lied to, I'll tell you if you believe it or not."

"You can't beat me," Yin Zhu said, "What did you lie to?"

"...He said that the ghosts in the community only kill people and then commit suicide, but the ghosts here are obviously attracted by the ghost farm," Lu Huanyi sighed, "I'll go find him and see if he's still there .”

"Why didn't you go earlier?" Yin Zhu asked again, "It's getting dark."

"Because I didn't think about it during the day! I just reminisced about your meal!" Lu Huanyi rubbed his head, "Can you continue to sleep? Otherwise, I'll buy you a little genius point reader, so you can't click anything, right?" ?”

Yin Zhu didn't speak.

Lu Huanyi rubbed her hair back again, tightened her coat, put on her shoes and left.

The corridor was still pitch black, with no light to be seen.

He walked downstairs and stepped on the clean snow that no one had stepped on. Hearing the creaking sound, he felt relieved a lot.

When he arrived at the gate of the community, Lu Huanyi even did some psychological work.

If the boss is still there, what is he going to do?Fight the boss directly or confront him?Question what?

It is better to fight directly instead of fighting at the end of the interrogation.

What if the boss is gone?

If you're not here, you're not here.

If he is not there when some people look for him, then he should be a dead person in his own heart.

Perhaps as Yin Zhu said, I should have checked to see if the boss was still there, but I always felt in my heart...he should be gone, and no one would still guard a small mess after the plan was revealed.

But Lu Huanyi still wanted to take a look.

He walked to the gate of the community and took a look at the canteen. There was a woman packing things inside.

"Hello, Auntie," Lu Huanyi walked in, "Is the boss there?"

"I'm the boss," the woman gave him a surprised look, "Which boss is there?"

"...Where's that man from before?" Lu Huanyi was stunned for a moment.

"How can you be a man, you have gone by the wrong way," the woman said, "Come on, it's getting dark, go home quickly."

"Have you been guarding the store before?" Lu Huanyi walked over and asked with a frown, "Didn't you ask someone to guard for a few hours?"

"Oh, I hired a little girl before, but she has resigned and left," the woman said, "I resigned in the middle of the night last night, what's the matter?"

It's a little girl.

Not a man at all.

Lu Huanyi took a breath.

He didn't know when he was caught by a little girl's tricks.

"It's nothing," Lu Huanyi forced a smile, "Excuse me."

The woman glanced at him strangely, then turned her head and went inside.

Lu Huanyi let out that sigh, turned around and was about to go out, when someone stood behind him at some point, he was so frightened that he jumped on the spot and saw that the person was Yin Zhu.

"Fuck!" Lu Huanyi pulled him out of the store, "Why did you come down?"

"I'm looking at you," Yin Zhu said naturally, "in case you get hurt again."

"I just walked to the gate of the community." Lu Huanyi was stunned for a moment, "What kind of injury can I get?"

"You were in the community before, and you were injured too." Yin Zhu said and pointed to his palm with the band-aid on it.

Lu Huanyi was stunned for a while, lowered his head and said nothing.

"I used to hear you when you came out to catch ghosts." Yin Zhu narrowed his eyes, and his eyes fell on the small snowdrift behind Lu Huanyi. His pupils stood up slightly, and something slipped away immediately, "You I can hear footsteps, the sound of the wind, and the sound of fighting, and I thought you would not be hurt."

But he was still hurt.

From the abandoned room, he came out of the darkness, with wounds on his face and blood on his palms.

"So I will follow you in the future," Yin Zhu paused for a moment after finishing this sentence, and frowned, "If I am awake."

Lu Huanyi still didn't speak.

His bangs covered his eyes, making it hard to see what his expression was.

After a while, his voice came out with a little nasal sound, "Let me take you shopping for clothes."

"Ah?" Yin Zhu didn't understand.

"Don't you think my clothes are short?" Lu Huanyi said, "Raise your hand and the clothes are almost reaching your chest."

"No...it's not that exaggerated." Yin Zhu tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Are you going?" Lu Huanyi raised his head, without looking at Yin Zhu, turned around and put his hands in his pockets, ready to go out.

"Go." Yin Zhu nodded, tore off his clothes again, and followed.

The snow falls quietly at night, building up a thick layer of snow walls, trapping everything in the world forever like winter, allowing the cold air to spread to every corner, but there is always a small cluster of fine light, coming from every household. shines through the panes.

Lu Huanyi raised his head, and a snowflake just fell on his nose.
