In the afternoon, the sky is shining. The group shuttled through the shadow-mottled Yingguang forest and set off towards the ghost cave at the end of the forest.

Tan Gongzi and Shao Gongzi led the way in front, and Yao Duran and Huo Jingcheng walked behind.

Yao Duran said: "Why does Liulang bother with this mess? ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "I really can't stand it, I know it's man-made, but I want to watch them push it to ghosts and gods because of superstition." Besides, if I don't investigate thoroughly, maybe something will happen in that ghost cave, and I'll be idle, so I'll come and be this good person, and see if my brain is good or not, so that I won't be with you for too long, and only children will grow up in my mind. ”

Yao Duran was speechless.

Huo Jingcheng said: "I'm going to go into that ghost cave later, if you're afraid it's too late, then go back to Mei Feng and a few of them to go shopping together." ”

Yao Duran shook his head: "The sky is blue, but I'm not afraid." Besides, you said that it was man-made, so naturally I don't think about ghosts and gods. ”

"Believe me so much?"

"If Rokuro can't believe it, who can I trust?"

Huo Jingcheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "One day, you will say, if Liulang can't be relied on, who can I rely on." ”

Yao Duran said softly: "This is true, but many things have changed, and manpower is unstoppable. No matter how noble Rokuro is, there are times when he is helpless and powerless. In other words, the more noble Rokuro is, the more helpless he will be. ”

"Huh? Rokuro, I thought of it! Yao Duran was suddenly surprised.

Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng thought that she had thought of some clues about this case, but when she was about to ask, she saw that she had already squatted down and picked a closed Yingguang flower, and said to him: "Liulang, I thought of it!" This welcome flower only blooms at night, it must be because it can't see daylight, let's try it, is this the case. ”

Huo Jingcheng was caught off guard by her, and said slowly: "How to try?" ”

Yao Duran pondered the flowers in his hand, and said without thinking about it: "You take it off quickly." ”

Huo Jingcheng raised his eyebrows: "Huh? ”

Yao Duran looked up at him and said with great interest: "You take off your coat, let's use it to cover the sunlight and hide the flowers inside to see if they will bloom." ”

Huo Jingcheng understood at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, it's up to you." He unbuckled his belt, opened his shirt, and said, "You can't let me take it all off, can you?" Open your placket and you hide the flowers. ”

"Hmm!" Yao Duran hid the flowers in his hand into his open shirt, he tightened it slightly, trying to cover the sunlight as much as possible, and nagged again: "You say that I am a big man, why do I follow you to do such an innocent and childish thing?" ”

Yao Duran smiled and said nothing. The two stood facing each other, like two fools, staring in unison at his arms motionless.

The atmosphere was quiet, and the two stared at the flower in his arms, and before they knew it, they were getting closer and closer. If you look at it from a distance, it looks like two people hugging each other, very ambiguous.

She lowered her head, the faint fragrance in her hair faintly hit, and her hand was still stretched out in his arms with the flowers, and after holding on like this for a while, Huo Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a little confused, and said in a low voice: "Or, you can get in too?" ”

Yao Du didn't raise his hair: "Don't move!" It's a little bigger. ”

When Huo Jingcheng was thinking about it, he suddenly heard this, and he just felt that it was like that...... So awkward? So like ...... Another thing?

"I want you." Suddenly, he said this, and his voice was low and ethereal, with extreme caution, both for fear that she would hear it, and for fear that she would not hear it.

Yao Duran observed the Yingguang flower, unaware: "What? ”

"Nothing."

"Rokuro, look! It's really open! ”

Huo Jingcheng hurriedly lowered his head, only to see that in the dim and narrow space in his arms, a little crystal light slowly ignited. The Yingguang flower really bloomed, and the six white petals stretched out, revealing a little fluorescent stamen.

Huo Jingcheng saw a smile on the corner of his lips, and that smile was gentle and charming. He said, "She is willing to open in my arms, and I am willing to regret it." ”

He took out her hand and sniffed the flowers on hers.

However, the flower was so spiritual, that it closed again as soon as it saw the daylight.

Yao Duran was a little disappointed: "This flower is really good, it will bloom when it is opened, and it will be defeated if it is defeated." It seems that it is really only welcoming the moonlight, not the daylight. ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "The flowers can't be kept, but I will keep this memory forever, and it will last forever." ”

Yao Duran looked up at him and didn't say anything.

Huo Jingcheng tidied up his clothes and tied his belt.

"Hey! What are you doing? "There was a voice of discontent from the front.

It turned out that the two little sons walked away and didn't see them, and then turned back, who knew that this time they came back, what they saw was the scene where Huo Jingcheng was wearing his belt, which inevitably led people to reverie.

Shao Gongzi was dissatisfied: "The murder case has not been clarified yet, you two don't care about business, what are you doing to me?" ”

The episode between the two on the way had also ended, Huo Jingcheng smiled without saying a word, and walked up with Yao Duran.

The four of them met up and continued to walk towards the ghost cave. In early spring, no matter how good the daylight is, the forest is still gloomy.

A few people walked away, and Tan Gongzi asked: "Brother Huo, if the two murders last year and this year were really man-made, then why did this murderer kill people?" ”

Huo Jingcheng said as he walked: "I don't know why, but what I'm sure of is that first of all, this murderer will not take the initiative to kill, because there is no homicide elsewhere, and the two deceased died in the ghost cave, which shows that the hole is a taboo for the murderer, and those who don't break into it are safe, and if they break in, they will die." ”

Tan Gongzi said: "That...... What if the murderer has a grudge against these two people, and is afraid that killing people outside will lead to investigation, so he tries to trick them into the cave, and then kills them with the word of a ghost? ”

Huo Jingcheng said without hesitation: "Fool, let's not say whether Pei Si went to the cave last year voluntarily or was deceived, just say that your father-in-law also went because he bet himself." Besides, you've only been on the island for a few days? What enmity can the murderer and his son-in-law have? ”

Shao Gongzi said: "What Brother Huo said is very true. What is going on, I just hope that Brother Huo can give us clues when he arrives in the cave. ”

Huo Jingcheng looked at them and asked, "By the way, who are the sons of the three of you?" I came out to play but there was no one, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to explain to your parents when you go back, right? ”

At the mention of this, the faces of the two sons turned pale again.

only heard the crisp sound of "pop", Shao Gongzi had already given himself a slap, and said with red eyes: "I really hate myself, why should I make this bet with Brother Yue!" I hurt my brother-in-law......"

Tan Gongzi also said with a sad face: "The three of us are not only friends, but even our father is also a world friend. So this thing...... It's really hard to end, I don't even dare to go back to Beijing to see my father! ”

Yao Duran sighed secretly in her heart when she heard this.

Huo Jingcheng persuaded slowly: "Forget it, don't be so pessimistic one by one, the matter has already happened, let's be brave and face the difficulties." As a man, how can you not resist a few storms in your life, and when you resist this time, as long as you are not killed by your father, you will be a good man for a few years. ”

Tan Gongzi pulled and cried: "Brother Huo, will you comfort people?" As soon as you said the two words of death, my heart was half cold. ”

Huo Jingcheng said: "I'm telling the truth, when the time comes, your two fathers will beat you so that you can't get out of bed for a few months in order to dissipate your friend's anger, but that's the worst, when they finish beating you, you will be distressed again in a few days, and you are two good sons again." But if I were you, that's not what I'm afraid of. ”

"What's that?" The two spoke in unison.

Huo Jingcheng said: "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." The death of my friend will make me regret it for a lifetime, and finally end up with a thorn in my heart. ”

The two little boys were silent when they heard this, and their eyes were red again.

This time, Yao Duran couldn't help it: "Liulang, will you comfort people?" ”

Huo Jingcheng casually scratched her pretty nose, and continued to say to the two of them: "This is the price and lesson of your young and frivolous, after this time, you will be more stable and understanding in the future." By the way, you are from Beijing, can you understand Shen Linfeng? ”

The two sons were stunned.

Huo Jingcheng reacted and said, "Well, it's your Royal Highness King Li." ”

Only then did the two react, and Tan Gongzi said, "Who doesn't know His Royal Highness King Li?" There are two likes in life, one is gambling, and the other is Princess Nanqian. ”

Yao Duran was surprised when she heard it, so Shen Linfeng, the king of Li, actually liked Huo Jingrou? Thinking about it, she slowly turned her head to look at Huo Jingcheng, but saw that he seemed to be fine, it seemed that he already knew about it.

Here, Huo Jingcheng said: "This King Li likes Princess Nanqian? On what basis? ”

Shao Gongzi said: "His Royal Highness King Li's study and bedroom are hung with portraits of Princess Nanqian, and he, every time he reads any love poem, he has to read to the portrait, which shows how infatuated His Royal Highness King Li is with Princess Nanqian." ”

"What?"

Yao Duran heard his tone fluctuate, looked at him sideways, but saw that his expression was also turbulent, as if surprised, as if he couldn't believe it, and mixed with a little ...... Self-blame and remorse.

Tan Gongzi said: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Li is indeed infatuated with Princess Nanqian, but the princess's prince brother does not follow it, His Royal Highness King Li has suffered for a long time, and everyone in our capital knows it." ”

Huo Jingcheng's face was calm, he didn't say anything anymore, and he was silent all the way. Several people walked quietly, and no one said anything.

Huo Jingcheng seems to have such an innate ability, and being able to control the emotions of the people around him seems to be an invisible deterrent or driving force. When he is happy, others will be even happier. When he is silent, others will be even more silent, not daring to say more.

Soon, the group reached the end of the forest. Above, there is a majestic fairy mountain, and below, there is the gloomy ghost cave, like a monster with a black mouth, quietly waiting for the prey to be sent to the door.

In front of the cave, there is also a shallow ditch, a distance that can be crossed in one step.

The two sons had already come in the morning, and they crossed over with a light car. It was Huo Jingcheng who came over, he stepped lightly, then turned around and reached out to pick her up.

Yao Duran was about to pass away, and suddenly stared at Xiaoqu and was stunned.

Huo Jingcheng was stunned when he saw her, and said, "What's the matter?" Do you want me to carry you over? ”
