How can a person who is born in the light know the despair of darkness.

------ "Mountains and Seas in the City"

"Why do you want to fight with her, you know that she will ignore you. "In the slightly dark hallway, two boys were standing.

One was slightly shorter, leaning against the wall, with an impatient face. The other was very handsome, standing across from him, holding two Cokes in his hands.

His name is Su Wei.

"Why does she think that I don't do a proper job when I read books? Can't people have their own hobbies? Just because I'm in the third year of high school, she can deprive me of the right to read books, right?" Liu Mingfan rejected the Coke handed over by Su Wei, and pointed in the direction of the teacher's office, without the slightest intention of restraining his volume.

He was really angry, but also helpless.

He and Su Wei are already in their third year of high school this year, and the class is full of slogans for the college entrance examination, but he is not nervous at all.

Because he doesn't care.

Liu Mingfan is very glad that he has an enlightened mother who will never interfere with his thinking or force him to do something.

"If you like it, then do it, as long as you don't regret it later, then I will always support you. Whenever he told his mother something that might have been "rebellious" in the eyes of other mothers, she never told him that he couldn't and that he wouldn't allow it, but asked him why he was doing it, and then said it to him.

Even in the third year of high school, his mother would not force him to study, but would serve him a plate of fruit or a cup of tea while he was immersed in ancient books all day.

However, it was only his mother.

This is the fifth time that he has been called a parent for reading idle books, and it is also the fifth time that he has quarreled with the head teacher Lin Yu.

"I know that I read this kind of book all day long! People who have to take the college entrance examination! Why are you still so ignorant of life and death?" Lin Yu held his "Classic of Mountains and Seas" aloft, his face full of disdain. "What's the use of reading this kind of mythological book? Can it help you get one or two more points? If you have this kind of time to waste, why don't you study hard? I'll see how many points you can score this time!"

"In your eyes, am I just an examination machine? Why can't I have my own hobbies! You say that these books are useless, how much history is found from them? Do you know all this?" Liu Mingfan stood up suddenly, kicked the table hard, and waved his hands excitedly. "Moreover, I read these books in my spare time, what is my spare time? That is my time! How do I arrange it, do you care about it? Don't think that you can act recklessly because you are a teacher!"

Lin Yu trembled at his words, and pointed out the door fiercely, "You go out for me! Call your parents over today!"

", just call!" Liu Mingfan brought the door to the door and stood outside alone.

I just stood like this all afternoon.

"Can't you restrain your temper? You have to quarrel with her, and the teacher will have to come to school again. Su Wei lightly blamed Liu Mingfan, and forcibly stuffed the Coke into his hand.

The two grew up together since childhood, and he knows very well what Liu Mingfan's temper is, it is nothing more than that the family is used to being free, so he can't stand the constraints of others.

Liu Mingfan just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Su Wei gag the Coke he had just opened for himself on his mouth and signaled him to stop talking.

Liu Mingfan poured a sip of Coke hard, looked at the door of the classroom office, and finally stopped talking.

The two men waited until the office door opened.

He Zhen glanced at Liu Mingfan complainingly, and smiled helplessly.

"You said how did you know that you were causing trouble for me, you can't learn from Xiaowei. He Zhen took Su Wei's hand as she spoke, leaving Liu Mingfan behind. "Xiaowei, what do you want to eat tonight, my mother will make it for you. ”

"Well, this ......" Su Wei looked at Liu Mingfan hesitantly, looked at Liu Mingfan's hopeful eyes, and cautiously opened his mouth, "It's still braised pork." ”

"Okay, then stir-fry the shrimp, Shi Niang knows that you like to eat light. He Zhen patted the back of Su Wei's hand, looked at Su Wei, who was a head and a half taller than herself, and smiled.

You're so much taller than me.

"Or, it's still braised pork, right?" Su Wei felt Liu Mingfan's burning gaze behind him, and proposed braised pork again.

"That's okay, the braised pork is too greasy, it's better to stir-fry the shrimp. You say yes, boy. He Zhen looked back at Liu Mingfan and smiled brightly.

"Yes, yes! Braised pork is so greasy, I really don't understand why you want to eat that kind of thing, how good fried shrimp is! Just stir-fry shrimp! You actually like to eat braised pork, Su Wei I look down on you!" Liu Mingfan felt He Zhen's smile and immediately changed his face.

So in the evening, He Zhen really only fried a large plate of shrimp, and then Liu Mingfan nibbled on two bowls of white rice.

He is allergic to shrimp.

After dinner, Su Wei took the initiative to apply to go to the kitchen to wash dishes, leaving Liu Mingfan and He Zhen behind.

He knew that He Zhen had something to say to Liu Mingfan.

"Mingfan, why don't you still refuse to give up?" He Zhen handed the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to Liu Mingfan and looked at him.

"Daddy isn't dead yet. Liu Mingfan took the ancient book and flipped through it quickly, until he found that there were no missing pages before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know you can't let go of your father's business, and I miss him too, but he's dead!" He Zhen grabbed Liu Mingfan's hand, and his eyes were a little red.

"You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" Liu Mingfan felt the temperature of He Zhen's palm and gritted his teeth, "Uncle Qiao said, Dad is just missing!

Liu Mingfan took off He Zhen's hand and took out a dark gold pendant from his chest, with a transparent gemstone in the middle. "I went to the institute and tested it, and this pendant is not a craft at all. This dark golden part, its ingredients are amino acids and keratin, as well as gum. In other words, it's not metal at all, it's a scale! And it's not a gem, it's a tear! I searched through the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Guiguzi", and finally found it, the candle dragon. ”

"Look here," Liu Mingfan smoked the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and quickly turned to the "Great Wilderness Classic: North of Chishui Beyond the Northwest Sea", "No food, no sleep, no rest, wind and rain are confessions, candles and nine yin, and candle dragons." They all said that the strange beasts in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are just myths, but this pendant is the best proof that except for the Flood Divine Beast, there are no creatures whose bones can reach this level. ”

"In the end, and that is why I studied the Classic of Mountains and Seas this time, I know where my father has gone. Liu Mingfan paused, "I saw my father's diary, the Forbidden City Palace maid incident in '92, the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway incident in '93, the Chengdu zombie incident in '95, the China Airlines crash incident in '02, the Qinghai-Tibet monster incident in '05, and the murder of the boy in red in Chongqing ten years ago. Actually, Dad, he wasn't an archaeologist at all, right? I saw his last diary, which was a falling dragon from the Songhua River. ”

"You, shut up for me!" He Zhen snatched the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Don't read these books in the future, don't think about these things anymore, let's stop here!"

"I will definitely get my father back!" Liu Mingfan was not angry or lost, but was very indifferent and determined.

Like him, but not like him.

"Stop it, I've lost your father, I don't want to lose you anymore!" He Zhen hugged Liu Mingfan tightly and cried bitterly.

Liu Mingfan didn't speak, just hugged He Zhen and put his hand on the back of her head, just like He Zhen hugged him when he was a child.

"Is the master asleep?" Su Wei handed Liu Mingfan a peach, washed another one for himself, and took a bite gently.

He always eats like this, in small bites.

"Hmm. Liu Mingfan didn't eat, but kept throwing it back and forth in his hand.

"Are you still thinking about the teacher?" Su Wei slowly swallowed the peach in his mouth, looked at the room, and asked in a low voice.

He Zhen fell asleep in the room.

"Hmm. Liu Mingfan didn't look up, his eyes were always between his hands.

"Give up, don't look it up. Su Wei's tone was very light, but a little dignified. It's like a consolation, and it's like an admonition.

"Actually, you all know about my dad, right? You're all hiding from me except me. Liu Mingfan put the peach aside, his eyes a little gloomy.

"......" Su Wei lowered his head and did not speak. Liu Mingfan knew that Su Wei was empty-hearted.

"Ah Wei, you know, I have always regarded you as a brother for so many years, and you are like my brother. But why, you have to hide it from me?" Liu Mingfan grabbed Su Wei's collar and slammed him against the wall, "You say!

Su Wei faced Liu Mingfan's questioning, did not evade, but did not answer, just looked at him calmly.

"Do you say it!" Liu Mingfan raised his fist and looked at Su Wei viciously.

But Su Wei just looked at him quietly, and even his eyes didn't change.

"!" Liu Mingfan slammed his fist on the wall beside Su Wei, his feet were weak, and he sat down on the ground.

"I miss the teacher too," Su Wei straightened his collar and sat next to Liu Mingfan, with his right hand on his knee and his left hand on Liu Mingfan's shoulder, "In the fifth year of the year, my parents died, and it was the teacher who brought me back and raised me." ”

"Actually, we have a lot of orphans, and many of our children have been bought. The children were treated like animals, beaten almost every day and fed. I was really scared, I was afraid that the teacher would adopt me like this. But I had to follow the teacher, because no one in the village wanted to adopt me, they thought that I had killed my parents, and they thought I was a disaster. Su Wei chuckled and sighed.

"Later, I felt at home here. Teachers and teachers have never treated me as an outsider, and so have you. It's like, I was born into this family, and it's a really good feeling. Su Wei patted Liu Mingfan on the shoulder, "The teacher is the same as my father to me."

But, give it up. ”

After speaking, Su Wei stood up with Liu Mingfan's shoulder, turned around and stretched out his hand to Liu Mingfan.

"What the hell are you hiding from me?"

Liu Mingfan stood up by himself and went back to the room. Leaving Su Wei alone, he stretched out his hand to the air.
