At night, the sky is full of stars. Tiny snow particles flew and fell to the dust.

In the middle of the wide street, a simple horse-drawn carriage drove with silver bells hanging from the corners of its roof, and a crisp jingle was heard in the middle of the action. But the carriage was in the bustling night market, and the sound of broken silver bells was all covered by the noisy shouting and chattering.

"This Los Angeles is really lively, looking at it, the prosperous scene does not have to be a few points worse than Wucheng."

Since entering the city, the two leaders of Jiang dismounted, holding the horse rope in one hand and looking around the city. With a happy face, I sighed from the bottom of my heart.

Xiao Chifeng, who was beside him, also nodded in agreement. There was also a little joy in his expression, and he said: "Yes, Uncle Jiang, I have been to this Los Angeles three times, but this is the first time I have seen the night scene." On both sides of the street, there were rows of dazzling goods, many of which he had never seen before.

"It really doesn't have to be Wucheng." He sighed again.

In the carriage behind her, Qi Yue had already felt that there was a lot of excitement outside, her eyebrows were dyed with joy, and she lifted the curtain with one hand and poked her head to look around.

I saw that the shops on both sides were hung with red lanterns high, the doors were wide open, the houses were brightly lit, the decorations were warm, and the orange light was shining. At the door, there are a few handymen, all of whom are wearing thick cotton clothes to face the wind and snow, with their hands on their chests, their faces full of enthusiasm, and they are shouting to attract customers.

Looking at both sides of the street, there seems to be no vacant seats, and the stalls are next to each other. The uncle who set up the stall, the old woman who sells female celebrities, and the scholar who sells calligraphy and paintings...... Even under the orange light and warm lamp, there are fortune tellers with high pennants.

"It's really lively, hahaha." The corners of Qi Yue's mouth curled up, and she smiled deeply. Looking sideways at Layue, who had not made a sound for a long time, "You said yes!" Well...... Little wax moon? ”

"Sister Xiaoyue is right."

I saw his lowered eyes, and he looked absent-minded.

Qi Yue slowly lowered the car curtain, with worry on her face, "What's wrong with you, Xiao Layue?" ”

There was silence in the car for a while, and only the sound of hawking could be faintly heard.

"Little Layue?" Qi Yue inquired again, and a small white hand shook in front of him.

"I ...... I want to see if grandma is still ......" Layue's face was tangled, with guilt in her eyes.

Grandma has taught him well since he was a child, he is not an ungrateful person, and he will never forget the redemption grace of Xiaoyue's sisters. However, since he was abducted from the black market three years ago, he has not seen his grandmother again until he was in the hands of a fisherman.

Now that he can return to Los Angeles and be so close to his grandmother, he must go back to her.

"I see." Qi Yue nodded lightly, immediately lifted the curtain, and shouted to the two people in front of him.

"Uncle Jiang, Brother Chi Feng!

Both stopped, and both looked back.

"What's wrong? Xiao Yue. Leader Jiang said in confusion.

"Can you go somewhere first?" Qi Yue agreed, looked back at Layue, and saw that he had gratitude on his face and joy in his eyes.

Wan Er smiled and said happily: "Where does your grandmother live?" ”

"Grandma lives in the west alley, walk another mile ahead, turn left and go straight to it." Layue hurriedly narrated, gesturing in her hand to guide the way.

Qi Yue nodded, and then looked sideways at the two Jiang leaders outside the carriage. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Then he said gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Jiang and Brother Chi Feng." Pointing to the street ahead, "Go one mile further, turn left and go straight along the road." ”

"Okay." Xiao Chifeng knew, and tightened the horse rope in his hand, "Come in, it's noisy outside the car." ”

"Thank you, Brother Chi Feng." Qi Yue was very happy.

Lower the curtains.

Although she was happy to see Layue, she was also a little sad and guilty.

She touched his brain and explained: "Xiao Layue, our original intention was to bring you out of the water and fire, you don't have to feel guilty." His eyes were as clear as a mirror, "Besides, no matter what, it's in your hands to stay and go." We are not of the same mind as those fishermen, and we don't force you. ”

Layue's eyes were condensed, "I understand, thank you, Sister Xiaoyue." ”

"Don't cry, don't cry." Qi Yue looked at pity and frowned slightly. Reached out and patted him gently as a sign of comfort.

In his mind, the white voice said that Layue had the blood of the demon clan, and his grandmother was a member of the ghost clan......

A gleam in his eyes, a man of the ghost clan! At the beginning, a snake woman who was sealed in the critical realm once said that the seal was given by the ghost clan, if his grandmother could know a thing or two.........

Suppressing her excitement, Qi Yue asked quietly: "Xiao Layue, are you grandma...... Do you have a big one? ”

"Yes, Sister Xiaoyue, grandma is my only relative."

He raised his head and looked directly at Qi Yue. Tears were dotted, and his expression was sincere.

She nodded slightly, her big bright eyes clear. Thinking about it, since it was really his grandmother who raised him so far, how could it not be clear about half of the demon bloodline?

Tilting his head and asking again, "Don't you know your parents?" He looked hesitant, "Have you ever been in the ghost clan?" ”

Layue's expression remained unchanged, and there was nothing else to think about in her eyes except guilt and sadness. He shook his head and said, "My grandmother and I have always lived in Los Angeles, and I grew up in West Lane. As for my parents, I never met them, and my grandmother didn't say a word. He smiled wryly, "What's more, I don't care who they are......"

I was angry in my heart, I was able to abandon him and my grandmother since I was a child, and live in the suffering of the world! Don't be a parent like this!

Seeing that he was in a wrong mood, Qi Yue comforted him again, "Don't be sad about Xiao Layue, I won't tell you, I am also a child abandoned by my parents." ”

Her expression remained unchanged, and there was no resentment.

Layue was surprised when she saw this, "You too...... Why ......"

"For no reason, I grew up living with my grandparents at the foot of the mountain, leisurely." Qi Yue fell into memories, with a sense of happiness on her face, but then she slowly became sad.

sighed: "It's a pity, now I have to leave them for a while......"

"It turns out that Sister Xiaoyue is also ...... like me"

West Lane

One of the poorest places in Los Angeles, it is mostly populated by people with low incomes who live on physical strength and crafts.

There is an endless stream of orphans and wanderers, and the reason why they like to come here is because the people in the West Lane are simple and kind and will not expel them. People who can tolerate and treat kindly, but those who are down-and-out don't want to live here.

At night, there are a few shops scattered on both sides of the narrow road in the West Lane, and a small lantern hangs on the side of the plaque, and the orange shimmer shines, and the road is bright and dark.

It's cold and lonely, but it's very different from the crowds on the street outside.

Leader Jiang and Xiao Chifeng stopped and looked at the narrow alley, although there was no life in it, it was also clean and simple.

Xiao Chifeng turned around and knocked on the carriage door, "Xiaoyue, get off, we're here." ”

"Okay, Brother Chi Feng."

The words fell, and a pair of white and delicate hands pushed the car door open from the inside.

Qi Yue poked her head out and smiled.

Xiao Chifeng was stunned for a moment, and wanted to reach out to help get out of the carriage, but saw her jump slightly, and her body was neat and first.

Shaking his head helplessly, he stretched out his hand to Layue, lifted the back collar of the horse, and took him off the carriage.

"Thank you, brother."

His face was flushed by the collar of his clothes, and his expression was palpitating, but he didn't forget to thank him.

"Let's go, Xiao Layue, you lead the way."

Qi Yue looked around, there was nothing special.

"Okay, come with me." Layue agreed, and there was already excitement in her heart.

The three of them followed Layue into the alley, and when they passed by the shopfront vendors, some people looked strange, because in their eyes, these people in the middle of the night were dressed extraordinarily and had noble temperaments, how could they come to such a place?

At a close look, the little baby leading the way in front of him, under the hazy light, there was faintly blue hair fluttering, and the figure was ...... Isn't it just Grandma Yujia's little monster!

"Wax Moon!"

In front of a drugstore, a figure stood against the light and shouted, he was holding a cane in one hand and pointing to the back of a child passing in front of him, "Stinky boy! You've been there for the past three years! ”

When Layue heard the shout, she turned back in surprise, "Uncle Hu! ”

Several people behind him stopped and looked at each other.

"Your grandma has been looking for you for three years!" The voice came out again, anxious and happy.

A few people looked at it, and the man named Uncle Hu turned out to be a rickety old man with half-white hair. He took the cane and tried to give the boy in front of him a stick, but the hand that fell in the air did not let go.

"Forget it, you can go back and have a look." The old man sighed helplessly, slowly put down his crutches, and staggered into the house.

Seeing his expression here, Layue's heart was on fire, and she was afraid that something bad would happen. Hurriedly ran, all the way to the depths of the alley.

Several people sped up to keep up.

"Little girl, you have to be careful."

Qi Yue heard a voice in his head.

I promised, "Okay, I got it." ”

"I look a little weird about this kid......"

Listen to his leisurely words again, and his tone is serious.

Her expression remained unchanged, but she had to mumble a little in her heart.

Asked; "How so?"

"Intuition." The sound is categorical.

“…… Well, with Uncle Jiang here, I don't think there's any danger. ”

There was silence in my head, and there was no sound.

Borderline

The white light flashed, and Si Yin turned into a white fox, standing on the mirror, lowering his head and looking coldly at the snake-headed woman imprisoned here.

She was dressed in red and dragged to the ground, thousands of hairs were scattered, her eyebrows and eyes were like this, she glanced at the top, and said lightly: "You are so interested in that girl." ”

The red lips were hooked, and the eyes were deep, "You are a descendant of the ancient Tushan Nine-Tailed Fox Clan." ”

"You're not simple, descendant of Bai Zhen."

The fox spat out and had a cold look in his eyes.

The woman dragged the huge white snake tail, moving slowly, and her back was graceful.

"The battle you talked about last time about my demon clan's secret treasure, that nameless person, it's time to tell me now."

The woman's tone was unwavering.

"I've changed my mind."

The fox turned, tapped under his feet, and flew upward.

A black mist gradually shrouded the ground, and the white light gradually dissipated.

The woman roared in panic and her voice was sharp, "You're back!" Come back! You untrustworthy man! ”

The fox ignored it, and the surroundings became quiet, and darkness reigned again.

…………

Outside the west alley, several people came to the door of a simple house. Layue stood at the door, wandering uneasy. Finally, he stepped forward and tiptoed through the small doorway above, only to see a faint orange light coming from inside.

I was apprehensive in my heart, and finally let go.
