Chapter 42: The River Demon

The three of them sat in the restaurant, on the surface amiable, but except for Shuanglang, both of them had their own concerns.

"Sister, how are you talking about your boyfriend?Are you going to get married?" I heard that someone had a treat, and Tang Xiaoxiao specially ordered expensive ones. She took a sip of millet cucumber, and didn't care if she was on fire recently.

Shuanglang blushed and retorted: "Don't ask, where do I have a boyfriend?"

"There was another one last time, I saw it. She grinned.

Han Mo squinted his eyes as if he hadn't heard anything, and continued to drink tea.

"Su Bingwen, he is good, and he has been chasing you for so long, isn't it?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked rhetorically, her tone was really like a sister who cared about her sister.

Meng Shu looked at a few people lying on his stomach through the crack in the door, and sneered in his heart. Tang Xiaoxiao wanted to secretly reveal that Shuanglang had a boyfriend, who knew that person had seen it this morning. is a hooligan in the out-and-out way, although he is dressed like a human dog, but it is difficult to hide his dirtiness in his heart.

Shuang Lang's expression was not as good as that of Heyue just now, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, that's not my boyfriend! I used to treat him as a friend, but today I found out that he is still stalking me!"

"He's very nice to you, shhh Tang Xiaoxiao pouted.

"This is a pervert! I won't have contact with him again. Shuang Lang said sternly, although his tone was calm, but full of life. She didn't understand why her sister didn't let go of this Zhang Bingwen matter. She never asked about her personal life.

Han Mo heard it clearly on the side, but he didn't have the overturning of the river and the sea that Tang Xiaoxiao expected. He naturally knew what Tang Xiaoxiao meant by what she said, but he silently watched how she wanted to behave.

Tang Xiaoxiao didn't want to be bored, so she could only move the topic elsewhere: "What about the others, don't you have a favorite?"

Shuang Lang shook his head, "Not yet." ”

When Han Mo heard this, he suddenly became happy, like duckweed in the water finally seeing the sun.

It's just that he can't speak right now. Besides, Tang Xiaoxiao and Shuanglang are still sisters, and they just wanted to be with their sister when they broke up with their sister, and now human TV series don't dare to act like this.

He watched all this calmly, and after the emotional topic was over, the two sisters did not talk much again.

Seeing that the scene was cold, he finally asked: "Shuanglang, why do you have different surnames from your sister?"

She smiled, "Because we grew up in two families. My parents died young, and my relatives sent us to an orphanage. I was adopted first, my sister was adopted later, and I didn't grow up in the same family, so the last name was different. I have always regretted that if I had insisted with the dean, maybe we sisters would not have been separated for so long. We also just got in touch, and when I became an adult, my sister found the orphanage and got the contact information of my family......" she said, glancing at her sister with love in her eyes.

Several people were eating, and the news was broadcast on TV: "Recently, the Binhai City police have cracked a major case of human trafficking and resale of corpses, and all the people involved have been arrested...... They usually choose single women to start with, and help match the hidden marriage according to the birth date provided by the buyer. The price of a pile of ** ranges from 50,000 to 500,000. That's why these people take risks......"

"It's disgusting. Tang Xiaoxiao said, raised her hand and turned off the TV, "What age is it?" ”

Shuanglang lowered his head to eat, watching the scene on TV, inexplicably creepy.

After eating, Tang Xiaoxiao left alone. She glanced back strangely at Han Mo, who was staying overnight because of a room reservation, and Shuanglang, who stayed here because of work.

When night fell, Shuang Lang had already gone back to the house to rest, and Han Mo was sitting alone by the pond in the garden. His hand was on the surface of the water, and when he lifted it slightly, the water seemed to be alive, and it fluctuated with the palm of his hand.

One is suppressed and one is raised, and there is a little splash ripple.

He just played with it quietly, like a sculpture.

Meng Shu walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"

She gave him a piece of Aunt Mei's freshly baked osmanthus yellow rice cake, he paused and said, "Thank you, I don't eat millet." ”

Meng Shu put it on the wooden stool next to it and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Han Mo shook his head.

Ever since he saw the news at dinner, it was as if his memories had been pulled away, and he knew exactly what he had experienced in the past, but he couldn't remember it. Ever since I stayed at the inn in Mengshu, every night since then, I have dreamed of a girl playing happily with me in the river. Her white dress floated in the water like a fairy's ribbon. Seaweed-like hair and clear and bright eyes.

The two of them often sat under the river, watching the sparkling sunlight shine through. Small fish slowly passed by, and sometimes green snakes slid by.

He fell in love with the girl in his dream, and it seemed that he only wanted to marry this person in his life. He painted countless pictures just to record the blurred faces in his dreams. Later, when he rummaged through the cabinets in his old house at the bottom of the river, he found the same statue of a beautiful woman.

From the Guangxu period to the present, hundreds of paintings have been accumulated, all of which he has stored on his bookshelf and kept them well.

Now that I see Shuanglang, I have a feeling that I am vaguely an old friend, but I don't know each other.

Meng Shu looked at Han Mo's indifferent face and his posture of playing with the flow of water, and asked, "River demon." ”

He stopped and nodded.

"River Demon...... River Demon ......" Meng Shu repeated in a low voice, suddenly turning around and running away. After so many years and so many people in the inn, she couldn't remember everyone. It's just a river demon, she has only received one.

Moreover, her name was not given.

She rushed into the darkroom, a grid of drawers looking for the past. Fingers slid over the small golden letters, and she read the words. Suddenly, my fingers trembled and I touched a wet drawer.

When the brass tab was opened, one side was neatly folded with the clothes of a newborn child. Red silk cloth has an uncommon pattern on it. Aquatic plants embroidered with gold thread, small fish, waterfalls, and blue sky and white clouds. Lined with the words auspicious wishes, she held the clothes and returned them to the drawer.

"No, I'll find it myself. Meng Shu muttered, took two steps, and looked at the faintly glowing white jade stone in the depths. To the touch, it's warm as if it has been roasted by fire.

When the stone is touched, there is a clanging sound inside, like music.

Two names gradually emerged on the stone surface: Shuanglang and Han Mo.

Meng Shu's heart fell to the ground, and when he walked out of the door, he saw a familiar man blocking her place - Xiao Youji.

She was about to ask what was going on, but found that all the people in the inn had fainted, and even Zhu Chi fainted on his back. Seeing this scene, Meng Shu turned to one side, demonic anger, held a long whip in his hand, and said sharply: "What are you doing!"

Xiao Youji said: "Save your life!"
