Chapter 20: Uncle

Nodding, Ye Liqi paid attention to Sun Mingzhe's expression and asked, "What's the matter, someone in my uncle's family has awakened the ability?" ”

Sun Mingzhe heard Ye Liqi ask him, and really smiled proudly, in fact, he was sitting here today just to show off with Ye Li, of course, he was also a little surprised that Ye Liqi was an awakened person.

"Ah, who is that, it's your aunt, I don't know why, I actually awakened a water ability, and now I make some water mist at home every day." Sun Mingzhe said helplessly, but there was a faint look of smugness on his face.

Ye Liqi nodded, in fact, she understood what Sun Mingzhe meant as soon as she saw him sitting, but she still congratulated: "The water ability is a good ability, congratulations to my aunt!" ”

Sun Mingzhe waved his hand again and again, the corners of his mouth were very big, but he said happily: "Oh, we are all a family, what else is there to congratulate or not, you're welcome, I invited you to this meal today." ”

Ye Lilu smiled, this was the first time she had seen Sun Mingzhe so polite and generous in three years, she lowered her head and ate what was in her mouth, and she didn't say anything.

Sun Mingzhe thought for a while, looked at Ye Li's awakened bracelet, and suddenly said, "Hey, Li, what is your ability?" ”

In fact, Ye Liqi didn't understand it very well, but looking at Sun Mingzhe looking at her expectantly, he thought about it, and replied according to the book: "It should be a dark ability." ”

Sun Mingzhe was stunned, obviously not understanding what a dark attribute ability was, but this did not prevent his curiosity from expanding: "What is a dark ability, can you show your hand and take a look?" ”

Ye Liqi smiled, looked at the chopsticks in his hand, a puff of black smoke blew softly, wrapping the chopsticks, and what he saw, a pair of white wooden chopsticks were weathered like this, of course, in fact, they were not weathered, they were swallowed.

And Sun Mingzhe on the side was already dumbfounded.

He used to think that his wife's ability was strong enough, and he could use water to make water arrows every day, and he left a deep mark on the ground yesterday, but when he saw Ye Liqi disappear a pair of chopsticks silently, he was really scared.

Although he has the profit-seeking nature of a businessman, and he is also a little short-sighted, he is not a fool, and the abilities of the awakened are also strong and weak, good and bad, just like the son of Lao Wu next door, who awakened the ability and thought he was great, but what kind of ability is that, the smell ability, but just like a joke, the nose is very smart, but it can only smell the smell of meat.

An ability like Ye Liqi, Sun Mingzhe has never heard of it, and he has never seen it, but this does not replace the shock in his heart, you must know that in this world, those that will be seen by you are not the most terrifying, the most terrifying are those that you can't see, hidden in the depths.

Sun Mingzhe felt fortunate that his relationship with this niece was not awkward.

After thinking about it, Sun Mingzhe suddenly put his head close to Ye Li, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Li, you also went to the Awakened Conference, what do you think?" ”

Ye Lilu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Sun Mingzhe seriously, hesitated, and did not answer Sun Mingzhe's question first, but asked first: "What, uncle-in-law heard about the mission?" Or, who wants to go? ”

Sun Mingzhe was a little hesitant, but he still said truthfully: "Your aunt told me when she came back, there were you in the end, and some people were left there, I thought about it, after all, you were a soldier before, will you be demobilized this time." ”

Ye Liqi was surprised by Sun Mingzhe's transparency in seeing things, but he still nodded slightly: "It's a little bit like this." ”

Sun Mingzhe couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Lingli, you listen to me, I can listen to your aunt, those strange beasts are still awakened plants, but none of them are easy to deal with, you are not going to work, that's a life, cough, I also know the current situation in your family, you can't work hard because of this, it's just that there are difficulties, it's really not good, I can still take out 120,000 of them, and you can think of a way to do the rest, this matter, I don't think it works." ”

No matter what Sun Mingzhe's purpose is, or if it is really for her good, Ye Liqi was indeed moved by what Sun Mingzhe said at this moment, and after thinking about what to say, Ye Liqi smiled.

"Uncle, thank you in advance, but I've already thought about it, I can't ask for this money, and it's not easy for you and your aunt, indeed, as you said, this task is very dangerous, you don't have to worry about me, no matter how I used to come out of the army, you should be optimistic about aunt, don't let aunt take over the task, we are different, you have to think about your son."

Sun Mingzhe's expression was a little complicated, and for the first time, he looked at Ye Liqi seriously, looking at her as a person, not at the clothes she was wearing, the jewelry she was wearing, and so on.

"Okay, then I won't say anything, you eat slowly, tell me when you leave, this meal is mine." Sun Mingzhe smiled, reached out and patted Ye Liqi's shoulder, got up and left.

Picking up the bowl, sucking the last bite of yellow noodles into his mouth, and drinking even the soup together, Ye Liqi stood up, said to Anzi who was grilling skewers over there, and turned to leave.

The wind at night blew gently on his body, a little cool, but it didn't make people feel cold, Ye Liqi didn't go home after eating, but walked idly on the street, just a person slowly turning.

From time to time, the lights of the streets were filled with the chirping of passing cars, one after another, as if they were in a hurry to walk home.

Ye Liqi suddenly looked up and looked up, on the dark night sky, the fine stars were inlaid on it like broken diamonds, flashing and flashing, as if hanging in the sky bead curtains.

It's been a long time since she's seen such a beautiful sky, Ye Liqi recalled.

In this small and remote town that is not prosperous, there are many things that Ye Lingli can't give up, and there are too many memories and feelings that belong to her past, which is a past that can never be forgotten.

Taking a long breath, Ye Lili stopped, stood on the side of the street, looking at the streets where people came and went, and the roads where cars came and went, and suddenly there was a feeling called sour in his heart.

I don't know why, when Ye Liqi stood here and looked at all these familiar and unfamiliar scenes in front of her, her heart suddenly calmed down, no matter how many winds and waves ahead, she thought that she would walk over unharmed.

Walking slowly back along the way she came, in her house, usually after ten o'clock in the evening, there will be no one walking on the street, and those who should go home have also gone home, and now they are still outside with nothing to do are those who are homeless or have no home to go back.

Walking into the long and narrow alley, Ye Lili's ears suddenly moved, and several heavy breaths came into her ears, she found that since she awakened the ability, both her hearing and eyesight were much better than before, and the rest was not found, maybe it was just subtle, and she couldn't see anything now.

I guessed that I walked to the middle of the alley, there was no one in front, quietly, and the footsteps behind became louder, maybe I also found that there was no one in front, and the few people behind were not silent, and the footsteps of the people behind were even louder, and then they directly accelerated their pace to catch up with Ye Liqi in front.

Ye Liqi is walking forward with her eyes closed, she has been walking this alley for more than 20 years, and she is very familiar with it, especially recently she found that her five senses have improved a lot, so she recalled the previous road, and she closed her eyes and walked back completely by memory.

The voice behind him became louder and louder, and finally he trotted in front of Ye Li, and then stopped.

Slowly opening his eyes, Ye Liqi put his hands in his pockets and looked at the person in front of him.

The two people behind him slowly approached, and one of them crossed over from the side, looking at Ye Liqi and couldn't help but smile: "Girl, don't worry, we only rob money, not sex, come on, invite a few brothers to have a drink, how about this matter in the past?" ”

Ye Liqi looked at the man, he should be in his thirties, with a long scar on his face, dark skin, wearing an ordinary white half-sleeve, a pair of beggar pants with holes, a golden watch on his left hand, and a short knife handle exposed in his trouser pocket, which should be an ordinary knife.

"Get out." Ye Liqi looked at the man and said lightly, his tone did not tremble because of the encirclement of the three men.

Scarface smiled "hehe", and just wanted to say something when he was pulled by another young man next to him, Scarface frowned and looked at the young man next to him impatiently, and the young man whispered in Scarface's ear: "Brother, look at the things in her hand." ”

Scarface squinted his eyes, glanced at Ye Li, and then slowly fell to Ye Li's left wrist, and after seeing the awakened bracelet clearly, his eyes couldn't help shrinking slightly, and his body stiffened a little, but after seeing the two men next to him, the greedy heart became active again.

Sticking out his head to look at the front and back, there was still no figure, and only the trivial sound of rats rummaging through the garbage could be heard on both sides.

Scarface touched his chin, looked at Ye Li, and suddenly smiled: "Awakened? Hehe, the old man Zhang in our courtyard is an awakened person, do you know what his ability is? ”

The lewd man who had been standing behind Ye Liqi also walked over, stood beside Scarface, and looked at Ye Liqi with an obscene smile: "Hehe, I guess it can't be a clair-through eye, right?" ”

Scarface was immediately amused by the lewd man, laughed, and slapped the back of the lewd man's head: "You kid,/It's disgusting, that old man has awakened a kind of earth-based ability, it's useless, every day he turns earthworms next to the stinky ditch at the door, that's all tired and half dead, hum, awakened, I'm whew!" It's not all bear-like, it's not as good as us. ”
