At dusk.

The sun turned pale gold, the wind rustled the leaves, and the clouds that had accumulated in the valley began to surge.

The dog drove the sheep back from the hillside.

Flocks of free-range chickens descend the path home.

Time passed quietly in this small mountain village.

Brother Nan took a reclining chair, took a fan, and lay down comfortably in the shade of the tree, shaking the fan and playing with his mobile phone, smirking from time to time.

"Meow!!"

"That's a lot of chicken!"

The dumpling, who was napping on his stomach, jumped up from the ground, almost turned into a small white shadow, ran to Brother Nan's thigh in two or three steps, turned his head and stared at the chickens returning to the cage without blinking, and said: "The chickens will peck people!

Brother Nan yawned and swept her down with a wave of his hand.

Tuanzi was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, turned around and ran, ran until Zhou Li's feet stopped, and began to pull his trouser legs again.

"Zhou Li, there is a chicken, pick up the ball. ”

"Do you want to eat chicken?"

"Dango-sama is afraid of chickens. ”

"What's so scary about chickens?"

"Chickens peck at people!"

"That's just as well. ”

Zhou Li bent down and hugged the dumplings, and he felt the same way - the big rooster was very aggressive last year, and the meat was very firm because of it.

At sunset, the cicadas chirp gradually stopped.

Brother Nan was still lying there, but she changed her position again, and became lying on her side, hooking her slippers with her feet and dangling.

The clouds in the valley were reflected golden.

Zhou Li stood in front of the house, pretending to want to take pictures of the scenery, but in fact, he secretly took pictures of Brother Nan's appearance at this time.

He thought she was a dead fat house.

Looked......

There are already 154 private albums.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Zhou Li was not in a hurry to crop the photo he had just taken, and sure enough, he heard Zheng Zhilan's voice: "Brother Nan is quite adaptable to life here, and he will enjoy it better than me." ”

"That's how she is, she finds happiness everywhere. Zhou Li still operates his mobile phone without fear.

"She's always happy. ”

"I kind of envy her for that. ”

"Me too. ”

At this time, Brother Nan's eyes suddenly moved away from his mobile phone, and he looked at the two of them suspiciously: "What are you two talking about?"

"Nothing. Zhou Li said.

"Hmm. Zheng Zhilan also smiled lightly.

"No, I hear you, you're talking about me. Brother Nan stared at them with a frown.

"Praise you. Zhou Li said.

"Hmm. Zheng Zhilan still whispered.

"What are you saying envy me...... Brother Nan's expression froze, she is dignified Brother Nan, what she can't bear the most in her life is that others secretly praise her behind her back, can't this kind of thing be said to her in front of her?

"What do you envy me?" Brother Nan was very itchy.

"You heard it wrong. Zhou Li said.

"Hurry up!"

"No!"

"Tell me quickly, do you envy me for being generous, lively, smart and cute?" Brother Nan tilted his head proudly at him.

"......" Zhou Li was silent for a few seconds, "I envy you for having a good partner, but I don't." ”

"Good!"

Brother Nan turned off his mobile phone, stood up with a smile, and waved his hand to Zheng Zhilan: "The next plot is too violent, you should avoid it first." ”

......

Summer evenings are bustling with insects and frogs, a symphony unique to the countryside.

The three of them and the three demons all stayed in the courtyard to enjoy the shade.

Zhou Li looked up, it was the same starry sky as the summer night when he was a child, and it was so bright that people couldn't bear to look away. It was as if someone had grabbed a handful of glowing gravel and sprinkled it on the pitch-black canopy, and then sprinkled a finer Milky Way in the middle.

There is nothing more beautiful in this world than the starry sky.

He still remembers that when he was a child, the summer under the mountain was hotter than the mountain, and a small fan was not enough.

When it's too hot, adults will sprinkle water on the roof after sunset to cool down, and when it gets dark, they will take mats and mosquito coils to sleep on the roof.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was full of stars.

Zhou Li usually waited until he was too sleepy to close his eyes.

But today, he quickly withdrew his gaze and said to Zheng Zhilan with a calm expression: "Today is a sunny day......

"Hmm. ”

Zheng Zhilan nodded lightly, she could feel it.

But she couldn't see the bright stars, so she could only sit quietly, listening to the chirping of insects and frogs.

Suddenly—

An angry roar came from the mountain behind him, and the sky shook the earth!

Zhou Li immediately raised his head, only to see a huge figure take off from the mountain, he flapped his meat wings, and the sound of slapping the air was dull and deafening. Immediately, the evil god flew over the starry background and flew towards the bottom of the mountain.

"Another strange youkai has invaded his territory. Zheng Zhilan's voice sounded, "Maybe it's still a big monster." ”

"The person you're looking for has arrived, Zhou Li. Huai Xu lowered his head and played the game, "You have to stop this big guy, otherwise those two won't be able to withstand his beating." ”

“...... You're going to go. ”

"Wait until I'm done with this teamfight. ”

“......”

Huai Xu didn't raise his head.

And Qinghe had already taken the lead in rushing down the mountain.

Zhou Li thought about it, and ran down the mountain, and at the same time said to Zheng Zhilan: "You are here." ”

Zheng Zhilan sat quietly and nodded.

Finally, Huai Xu put down his phone, turned his head and told Brother Nan: "You don't care about anything, just push it, I'll reason with that idiot." ”

After speaking, he said a sigh.

This old monster was very annoying, he first went to Zhou Li's side, mocked his speed, and then went to the next place unhurriedly.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Li met Qinghe and Xinghui on the path, and there was another monster by their side.

This monster is quite good-looking, similar to a human, but the head is a little weird, wearing a plain robe in ancient times, and has an elegant temperament.

"Lord Xinghui. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm supposed to pick you up, I'm sorry. Zhou Li nodded, turned his gaze, and looked at the monster next to Xinghui, "This is Lord Ji Bai, right?"

"It's me. Ji Bai bowed slightly, "I heard that you rescued Xinghui, thank you." ”

"You're welcome. Zhou Li looked left and right, but didn't see Huai Xu, so he knew that he must have gone back to play the game again, which made him a little speechless, so he had to apologize to Xing Hui and Ji Bai again, "I'm really sorry, Huai Xu is not very reliable." ”

"Haha!" Xinghui laughed heartily, floated behind him, and then turned his head to look at the mountain in the distance, "That was the evil god just now, right?"

"Yes. ”

"He used to be notorious, I thought he was dead. ”

"He was saved by humans. ”

"Hmm, didn't the blood demons come to kill him after that?, did he belong to the humans?" Xinghui was a little surprised, "When I heard the news at the time, most of the blood demons, including the Stop Killing Adult, were injured, and I thought that with their abilities, they should kill or capture the evil gods." ”

"Well, he made some pact with the humans, and the youkai didn't bother him after that. ”

"Your Highness is really merciful. Xinghui sighed.

"Your Highness is kind. Ji Bai also said.

"Did the evil god hurt you just now?" Zhou Li asked.

"It scared us a lot. ”

"It's good that it's not hurt. ”

"Thanks to Lord Huaixu for coming in time......"

Walking and talking, they soon reached the small mountain village and stepped into the courtyard.

Xinghui turned his head to look at it, and smiled at Ji Bai: "The environment here is very good, and there are evil gods shrouded in it, I want to settle here a little." ”

Ji Bai smiled: "Yes, it just so happens that we are also old." ”

They looked at each other and smiled.

Zheng Zhilan stood by the door frame and nodded lightly to the two monsters, but she was a little cramped and didn't know what to say, so she had to turn her head and look at Zhou Li, her two hands quietly twisted in front of her.

"Do you want to start now?" asked Ji Bai.

"Wait for the ...... Then please. ”

"It's a gesture. ”

"Do I need to do anything to prepare?"

"No, you don't. ”

"Okay. ”

Zhou Li looked at Zheng Zhilan again and asked, "Are you ready?"

Zheng Zhilan nodded slightly.

Then Ji Bai asked them to sit down, so as not to fall down when they were not comfortable, and reconfirmed the needs of Zhou Li next week before starting to perform the operation.

This process is simpler and faster than Zhou Li imagined.

Less than a minute later—

The two opened their eyes.

Zhou Li's eyes had become a blur.

He could see the glowing lamp, he could see the door frame, he could see the dog sitting under the lamp, but these were blurry, and only the outline could be discerned. The only thing that is clear is Brother Nan and the monsters present.

He looked up again.

The night was dark.

After a silence, he whispered to Zheng Zhilan: "The starry sky tonight is very beautiful, and it is a beauty that is difficult for ordinary people to see. ”

Zheng Zhilan tilted her head and snorted.

The starry light in the sky caught her eyes, as if for no reason, her eyes were already moist, and the hot liquid soon blurred the picture again, and the light of countless stars in this other blur was drawn into silk.
