I didn't dare to leave any more promises to Ah Shu, so I could only turn around and try to calm my mind and wipe away my tears. After that, I instructed Ah Shu to bring Bonghyo and Ah Pu to the study. Ah Shu got my instructions, and without saying anything more, he left my room and went downstairs.
Soon, the three of them appeared in the study together. I told them what had happened in the past two days in a succinct manner, deliberately avoiding my injuries, and describing the concerns of reconciliation in great detail. However, the three of them seemed to have reached a consensus before this, and they did not raise any objections to their temporary move to the underworld.
I don't know exactly what they had discussed, but they were very cooperative and fully agreed to the proposal for reconciliation, which really made me breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, I didn't think about how to convince them, and with Bong Hyo, I was really afraid that I would change my mind by him in a few sentences. Fortunately, they didn't embarrass me, otherwise if something happened in the future, I was afraid that it would be too late for me to regret it.
After everything was settled, the three of them went back to their rooms and began to tidy up their things. I also took this opportunity, in the name of sending Gui Yuan home, went out once, and quietly went to look for He Ran.
The curse mark on Gui Yuan's body had been lifted by Jade Soul Gui and Chen Bei when we found Shen Yuan, so I could be regarded as giving He Ran an explanation. It's just that this matter hasn't been completely resolved, and I'm still very worried that Shen Yuan will be bad for Guiyuan, if anything, then I can still be more or less sure.
Although He Ran didn't tell us where he was going when he left, it was very easy for me to find him. I took advantage of the residual breath that belonged to him in Guiyuan's house, and it didn't take a trace of effort to find out where he was hiding, but what I didn't expect was that this guy actually lived next door to Guiyuan's house.
This discovery made me want to laugh a little, after all, when he left, he looked like he didn't get along with Gui Yuan. But thinking about this answer is also in my expectation, how can he love Guiyuan for so many years, and asking him to leave is not something that can be done in a moment.
I practiced at the door for a long time how to talk to He Ran about this, but before I could knock on the door, He Ran opened the door first.
"You've been standing outside against my door for a long time, just knock on the door if you want to come in, don't hesitate so much. ”
He Ran's sudden appearance made me feel a little embarrassed, but thinking that I was going to go in too, I followed him into the house naturally. He Ran had already prepared tea for me very intimately, and I didn't see it, so I directly omitted those greetings, and said to him straight to the point:
"The curse mark on Guiyuan's body has been lifted by us, but this matter we are facing is much more serious than we thought before, I am afraid that that person will still find trouble with Guiyuan after this, we are not manpowered, so I want to find you to protect Guiyuan. ”
"I don't need you to explain this, the reason why I chose to live here is also for this reason. But I didn't expect you to lift the curse, so I owe you a favor. ”
He Ran's answer was extremely serious, and he had the intention of "repaying his kindness". I don't have such a clear conscience about this, and not only that, but I even feel very empty-hearted.
I can't help it, I'm too embarrassed to tell him that we could have lifted this spell a long time ago, and the reason why we didn't do it was because it was useful. In order to comfort myself, I took off the bracelet in my hand and solemnly handed it to He Ran.
"If anything happens that you can't handle, twist the bracelet around your wrist three times and we'll help you right away. I hope you'll never use it, but...... If I never come back to you, you can give this bracelet to Gui Yuan, and it will be a gift I left for her before I leave. She suffered so much because of me, I ......"
"For the safety of Longan, I can keep this bracelet, but if you want to send her, you can come back and send it yourself, I can't help with this favor. ”
He Ran took the bracelet and interrupted me bluntly. I was stunned by what he said, and then it suddenly occurred to me that if I could come back, I might have to try to give her back the memories of Guiyuan.
There is probably no one in this world who loves longan more than He Ran, and more importantly, such a good He Ran should not be missed.
Even if he's a demon.
After making this decision silently in my heart, I stood up and said to He Ran:
"Lend you auspicious words, then when I am not there, longan will be handed over to you to take care of. ”
He Ran didn't speak, just nodded heavily at me. I smiled at him, then didn't stop and turned away.
By the time I returned, I had already posted a notice that the business was temporarily closed. I looked at the two conspicuous black and white letters on the door, and suddenly felt a little sour in my heart, so I took a few steps back, stopped and looked up at my favorite plaque in a daze.
This is a gift from Bonghyo to me, and it is written by him himself. At that time, he had just decided to follow Apo, and before leaving, he left this plaque for me at my request. This plaque has been with me for thousands of years, and I have been looking for traces of him for thousands of years. Now that he's back, I don't know if there's a chance to hang it up again.
I often lament in other people's stories that things are always impermanent, but I didn't expect that one day, I would experience it myself. It still feels really uncomfortable, like a person who can't drink alcohol and pours a sip of strong wine and chokes on tears. I had no tears in my eyes, so I smiled bitterly, and then carefully put the plaque away and stepped through the door.
Ah Shu and they had already packed up their things, and I pushed the door in, and what was in front of me was full of the emptiness when I was about to move my past thoughts away. To be honest, I've been used to this kind of scene for so long, and I didn't have any reluctant feelings in the past, but this time, I suddenly felt as if I was a little reluctant to leave here.
I walked slowly back to my room, step by step, and threw myself on the bed, not wanting to think about anything. After the sun went down, Ah Shu called me to dinner as usual. Everyone at the dinner table was silent, and after the meal, we went back to our rooms and began to prepare for tomorrow's events.
Early the next morning, Xiuhe sent Ah Shu and the three of them to the underworld as promised. After settling them down, I took Chenbei and the three strongest people in the Heavenly Realm that year, except for the Heavenly Emperor, to start our counterattack.
