The night was dark, Lu Chen and Lao Ma walked side by side, and for a while, neither of them spoke. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking through the long street and walking up the horse washing bridge, the old horse suddenly listened in the center of the bridge, and then glanced down.

Lu Chen paused and said, "Why don't you leave?"

Lao Ma pointed to the river under the bridge and said, "Look, this river doesn't look like Qingshui Creek?"

Qingshui Creek is the creek in Qingshuitang Village, where Lu Chen and Lao Ma have lived together for ten years, of course, they know it. He walked to the bridge and looked down, and saw that the tributary river was indeed very gentle and quiet, and there was hardly any splashing sound in the night, and it was really a little similar to the stream in the mountain village back then.

However, Lu Chen didn't smile, he just looked at the small river under his feet, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "This river is much deeper than Qingshui Creek, and it's not very similar." ”

The old horse was stunned for a moment, there seemed to be a trace of surprise on his face, and there was also a bit of complicated and incomprehensible expression in his expression, and after a while, he seemed to sigh and said, "It seems that you don't have much nostalgia for the ten years you have lived in Qingshuitang Village." ”

"Nothing to be nostalgic about. Lu Chen said lightly, "In the past ten years, we have just shrunk up, desperately avoiding the pursuit of the Demon Sect, day and night are often tightened by a string, and when we see a stranger, we will wonder if it is a killer, what is good about this kind of worrying day?"

He paused for a moment, then turned his head to look into the distance, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Not to mention that I still had old diseases and dark injuries at that time, and it was painful to have seizures from time to time, so you want to ask me about those ten years? I don't like it at all." ”

Lao Ma nodded silently and said, "What you said does make sense, but as far as I'm concerned, sometimes I feel that the ten years I have spent in Qingshuitang Village have been far away from right and wrong, away from intrigue, not to mention what kind of murder and arson." So looking back now, I don't think it was too sad. ”

Lu Chen looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "Okay, why did you suddenly remember the past?"

The old horse also laughed, patted the stone railing on the bridge beside him, and then walked forward, "Probably a little old." ”

He walked under the bridge, but when he walked five or six steps away, he suddenly heard Lu Chen behind him call him, and the old horse stopped, turned around and said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen walked over, his brows furrowed slightly, looking at Lao Ma's face, his face seemed to be a little more serious and dignified than just now, and said, "You have said such things to me several times recently, and your mood is not very good." ”

"Uh, is it?" the old horse was a little stunned, as if he didn't seem to be aware of what Lu Chen was saying.

Lu Chen stared at him for a while, and then said calmly: "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future, especially don't say it in front of our True Monarch, you know?"

The old horse's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he saw that Lu Chen had already turned around and walked towards the alley.

Looking at Lu Chen's back, the old horse wanted to speak and stopped, and for a moment, his expression seemed to become extremely subtle and complicated.

Returning to the dwelling, or rather to the "home", they did not say a word, and when the door was closed, separating them from the outside world, they probably felt a sense of relief at last.

In the dark of night, the courtyard was deep, and the wings of the two were far away, and when they arrived here, Lu Chen greeted Lao Ma first, and then prepared to go back to the room. But it was at this time that the old horse suddenly stopped him again, and then glanced at his door first, and said, "Ah Tu, are you still sleeping inside?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's so quiet around, I probably sleep like a dead pig." ”

Lao Ma also laughed, but soon he put away his smile and said to Lu Chen: "What you said to me just now is quite good, I remember everything." ”

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, and didn't say much.

The old horse hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But tonight, I actually have a question in my heart that I want to ask you." ”

Lu Chen said: "Well, you can say it." ”

Lao Ma looked into his eyes and said, "It's still the same sentence, why did you pick that nightclub?" Without waiting for Lu Chen to explain, he waved his hand first and said, "We both have this kind of relationship, and you don't have to say that nonsense to me." The fairy city is so huge and prosperous, and the nightclubs are innumerable, even though we may have the opportunity to find traces of demon demons on this road, but no matter what, it is impossible to really find a family like this. ”

He stared at Lu Chen and said slowly: "So, how did you determine that one? Or did you actually just talk about it casually, just going over to play?"

Lu Chen's eyes lowered slightly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "Actually, it's just to play in the past, by the way, let's see if there is a chance to find some traces, but if not, forget it." ”

The old horse seemed a little surprised, and said in amazement: "Is this really the case?"

"Well, yes. Lu Chen said, "Those people from the Demon Sect are not so easy to find, otherwise, the remnants of the Demon Sect in this Immortal City, I'm afraid they have all been caught and killed by the Blood Warbler?"

The old horse hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, you're right. ”

Lu Chen laughed, turned around and walked towards his bedroom, and said with a smile: "Go back and rest early, don't think too much......"

"Lu Chen, do you really believe what Zhenjun said?" Old Ma suddenly interrupted him.

Lu Chen's footsteps suddenly froze three steps away from his door, and then stopped. In the deep courtyard in the dead of night, the figures of the two of them looked like ethereal shadows.

"Do you really believe what he said, the legendary sacred tree, the branches, leaves, and the artifacts and treasures of the species, and the kind of divine artifacts that we mortals tried to destroy with our mortal powers?

The old horse's voice echoed in the courtyard, and around Lu Chen's body, the darkness seemed to suddenly become a little thicker, covering his body vaguely, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard Lu Chen say calmly: "I believe it." ”

The old horse didn't speak, just looked at him. Lu Chen beckoned to him, then turned around and walked to the door, pushed open the door and walked in, and after a while, two doors closed behind him, blocking the old horse's gaze.

The old horse's throat moved, his face seemed a little nervous, and after standing in silence for a moment, he also walked back to his bedroom, but when he pushed the door open, his hand suddenly trembled a little for some reason.

After a long time, only to hear a squeak, he pushed open his door and walked in.

Lu Chen stood in his bedroom, and at first glance, he noticed that there didn't seem to be a figure of Ah Tu sleeping peacefully on the ground, and then he subconsciously looked at the bed, and sure enough, he saw a pair of eyes flashing with a faint green light in the dark, looking at him.

Lu Chen smiled, walked over and sat on the bed, hugged Atu, who was lying on the bed at some point, and touched its head.

Ah Tu also gently rubbed Lu Chen's body with his head, but Lu Chen suddenly found that Ah Tu's eyes had never moved in a certain direction, even when he just came in just now, it seemed to be looking there, looking at the door, or looking at a place outside the door.

He glanced at Ah Tu, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and his gaze became a little colder, and then he followed Ah Tu's silent gaze to the closed door. And outside the door, if he remembered correctly, after crossing the dark and deep courtyard, there was the old horse's bedroom opposite.

Atu, always here, staring in that direction.
