Liu Mo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Su Ying, and after confirming that the other party was not peeking, he waved to the door, took something from his father's hand, and then turned off the light in the room with a "snap".

"Hey, why are you turning off the lights?" Su Ying felt that the darkness in front of her was even thicker, and she didn't know what the hell Liu Mo was doing, so she became a little anxious.

Su Ying tore off the strip of cloth, opened her eyes, and was about to ask Liu Mo about it, but suddenly felt that her eyes were a little moist, and the whole person was stunned in place.

In front of Su Ying, above Liu Mo's hands, was a chocolate cake smeared with pectin with the words "Happy Seventeenth Birthday" and a few burning candles.

A very large cake, a cake that Su Ying had never received before.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Liu Mo sang a birthday song, handed the cake to Su Ying, and then explained, "I heard Sydney say that you don't know your birthday, so I think you may not have a birthday, although I don't know what day your birthday is, if you remember your birthday, Dr. Q They gave you a birthday, then please forgive me for making this decision, but I think this is the best gift I can think of to give you." ”

Su Ying didn't say a word, and the whole person was still in a stunned state.

"What's wrong?" Liu Mo blinked his eyes, feeling a little lost in his heart, if Su Ying didn't like this gift, then he would have to spend a lot of brains, could it be true that he really wanted to jokingly give away his sincerity?

In the thick darkness, the faint candlelight was as bright as the sun, and the gentle sunlight seemed to touch Su Ying's softest heart.

"Thank you." For a long time, a smile appeared at the corner of Su Ying's mouth, in such an environment, Liu Mo did not see the crystal tears in the corners of Su Ying's eyes.

Su Ying has no memory of before she was four years old, she doesn't know who her parents are, and she doesn't know what her birthday is, she only knows that her real name is Su Ying, which is the only thing her parents left her besides life. Su Ying's earliest memory fragment was that she was hit by a whizzing truck, and the front and back of this memory fragment are dark that have no connection with each other, except for that memory fragment, the earliest memory is that she woke up and saw the white-haired and bald Dr. Ah Q, and then injected the "God Killer Serum", after all kinds of extreme training beyond the human load, became a god slayer, under the cultivation of Dr. Ah Q, has always believed in the doctrine of the organization "all gods should die".

Su Ying, who has been fighting to the death with various pseudo-god apostles for many years and hanging by a thread many times, has always longed for and urgently needed this kind of care from others, similar to the care of family.

"It seems that you are quite satisfied with this gift, then I will give you a cake every birthday in the future." Liu Mo smiled stupidly, he just mentioned it, but Su Ying remembered it deeply.

Su Ying felt that the other party was a little silly and cute.

"Happy Birthday!" Liu Mo's father, Liu Gan, also walked in, and then pulled the salute flowers in his hand, and the colorful lines fell on Liu Mo's head, making Liu Mo's image a little embarrassed.

Su Ying giggled, and her laughter was as good as a silver bell.

Liu Mo stretched out his hand and smeared some cream on the cake and directly smeared it on Su Ying's face, the latter also immediately counterattacked, smearing more cream on Liu Mo's face, and soon, even Liu Mo's father was involved in this cream war, and the three of them childishly fought from upstairs to downstairs, from downstairs to on the street...

A high-end bus driving to the ancient city of Phoenix in Xiangxi.

"Students, the ancient city of Phoenix is located in the southwest of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hunan-South Province, with a total land area of about 10 square kilometers, built in the 43rd year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, adjacent to the Detam Miao Village in Jishou, the Mengdong River in Yongshun, and the Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou, it is one of the top ten cultural heritage in Hunan, and has been praised by New Zealand writer Louis Alley as the most beautiful small city in China, comparable to the ancient city of Lijiang in Yunnan and the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi, and enjoys the name of 'Pingyao in the north and Phoenix in the south'..."

At the front of the bus, a middle-aged woman dressed as a tour guide was describing the ancient city of Phoenix to everyone, while Mr. Tian, who was sitting in the front seat of the bus, was listening attentively, and from time to time he whispered with Mr. Jiang, who was invited by himself to help organize and manage the team, obviously looking forward to this trip to the ancient city of Phoenix. The students in the seats also listened carefully, and began to do their homework on this tourist area with a mysterious veil and simple humanistic customs.

Mr. Jiang is a man about 30 years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a good appearance, he is a history teacher in the first (1) class of high school, he listened carefully to the tour guide's narration, nodded frequently, and gradually became interested in the history of the ancient city of Phoenix, and occasionally asked a few questions suspiciously, and the tour guide also smiled and answered.

Because he was afraid that the students would compete for seats and cause conflicts, Teacher Tian asked the students to sit down in order according to the classroom seats, so Liu Mo and Su Ying still sat together.

Liu Mo, who was in the seat, tilted his head sideways to the side of the window and fell asleep completely, while Su Ying, who was dressed coolly, opened his Huawei Mate X folding screen mobile phone, and Baidu took up the information of the Phoenix Ancient City.

"On July 15, 2014, the ancient city of Phoenix in Hunan Province was hit by heavy rain, and the water level of the Tuojiang River in the territory soared, resulting in the flooding of inns and shops on both sides of the river, and most of the ancient city was flooded, and the scenic spot was closed. The flood flooded a stone bridge across the Tuo River. The bridge of Hongqiao, a well-known scenic spot in the ancient city of Phoenix, was also hit by the flood peak. A wooden 'wind and rain bridge' has also been washed away. Su Ying glanced to the side from top to bottom, and this piece of information made her pay special attention, "In July 2014, I remember that Dr. Q said that abnormal energy fluctuations were detected in the southwest of Xiangxi, is it a coincidence?"

The high-end bus is speeding on the highway, stopping once in the service area on the way, so that everyone can solve the lunch and convenience, and then continue to set off at a speed.

Under the introduction of the tour guide and some suggestions, the time on the bus seemed to pass quickly, the bus passed the ETC intersection, and then drove along the road of Jixin Town into the area of Phoenix Ancient City.

The ancient city of Phoenix is so bustling and lively almost every day, not only the streets are bustling with people, but also there are many customers in each shop to inquire and visit, and there are even some white-skinned and black-skinned foreign friends, who are most interested in local delicacies such as bloody duck and ginger candy, and the local shopkeepers and residents use broken foreign languages plus some funny body movements, plus calculators to help negotiate prices, but also can have a general exchange with those foreigners in a friendly and friendly manner.

Mr. Tian and Mr. Jiang led the students to get off the bus and began to visit the core business area of the ancient city of Phoenix along the Tuojiang River under the guidance of the tour guide.

The raging Tuojiang River constantly laps against the stone platforms made in the water for walking, and there are several stone bridges on the wide river, and some vermilion characters with antique meanings are inscribed on both sides of the bridge. Both sides of the Tuojiang River are lined with large and small shops and bars, and although it is now afternoon, the bars are still filled with lively crowds and beautiful singing. A few grandmothers and small traders in headscarves shouted to attract customers, and showed the ornaments and souvenirs in the baskets that they had knitted themselves or purchased at low prices.

The tour guide led everyone to briefly tour the area full of shops, and then Mr. Tian instructed everyone: "You can visit freely in the next time, and have a good taste of the customs here. ”

"Good!" The students agreed in unison, and then they dispersed in groups of three and five, wandering around curiously to watch.

Su Ying walked slowly along the bluestone bank of the Tuojiang River, as if she was preoccupied, and Liu Mo followed behind Su Ying, without stepping forward to disturb or leaving to disturb Wu Gang and Li Hui alone.

"Come on, come on, young man." An uncle dressed in Miao costume stood in front of Liu Mo, with a mellow smile on his face.

Su Ying stopped, also heard the uncle's shout, and turned around to see Liu Mo being stopped by the uncle.

"Young man, do you want to be a bandit once?" The old man asked, his face full of the word "routine".

"Bandits?" Liu Mo was slightly surprised, "Uncle, do you think I have the potential to be a bandit?" ”

Liu Mo looked at Su Ying beside him, and at this time, Su Ying also came over because of curiosity, because she heard the conversation between the old man and Liu Mo, her fox-like eyes had already narrowed slightly with a smile.

The old man directly turned on the touting mode and said: "I see that this young man of yours is born with amazing bones, and he looks very manly, not to mention practicing martial arts, he definitely has the temperament to dominate the party, a young man like you is very popular with girls in our local area, if it weren't for seeing that you already have a girlfriend, uncle, I want to introduce my granddaughter to you." The old man glanced at the beautiful Su Ying when he spoke, and said with a smile.

Su Ying's hands were behind her back, her pretty face was a little red, and she shook her head shyly when she saw the old man's gaze.

Liu Mo hurriedly waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood, we are not that kind of relationship." ”

The old man understood, then pulled Liu Mo to the side and said softly: "That is, you two haven't become a pair yet, right?" Don't worry, old man, I like to match men and women the most, after all, this is also accumulating virtue. Uncle, I'll give you a chance to be a bandit, and guarantee that the little beauty will like you when she sees your dress, how about it? ”

Liu Mo really couldn't stand the Miao old man's enthusiasm too much, so he had to nod reluctantly, and then took some photos that he would feel ashamed of in his life.

"Come, put the gun on your shoulder, pull your sunglasses down, and lift the gourd, hey, yes, the hat is right." The old man said in a loud voice, and then pressed the shutter on the Canon camera a few times in succession, when he decided to make a living in this business, the old man paid for the camera but it hurt for a while, but fortunately, this business was really "profitable", and soon the old man earned back his capital.

Liu Mo pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, he slightly changed the position of his right hand to resist the robbery, with a helpless face, as soon as he promised this old man to be a "bandit", the old man immediately beckoned and shouted to some companions, and those companions greeted him with all kinds of cheap props and costumes, and he understood the meaning of being a "bandit", which is to cosplay and take some so-called "art photos". The old man also said that the current outfit on Liu Mo is the decoration and treatment only available to the bandits who occupied the mountain as the king back then, a small straw hat, a pair of round-framed sunglasses that reveal the evil atmosphere, a gun, and a wine gourd, that is really a man who stands up to the sky.

During the whole process, Su Ying kept covering her mouth and chuckling, and finally almost laughed out of breath.

Liu Mo reluctantly squeezed out a pretending to be fierce and smug expressions, and put on embarrassing and childish actions one after another, and finally finished the long routine of the old man.

"Hey, young man, you are really a dragon and a phoenix among people, and your momentum is amazing!" The old man checked the original picture in the camera, and did not hesitate to praise himself, as if he was going to pour out the little ink in his stomach, "What about the king of heaven, the king of the mountains is the uncle, you young man is now better than the old man." ”

Liu Mo smiled bitterly again and again, he was only sixteen years old, but he didn't want to have the temperament of an uncle who was more uncle.

"Okay, there are a total of fifteen original photos here, you give me a hundred yuan for uncle, and you can go to the photo studio over there to wash ten photos." The old man finally showed his fox tail, and it seemed that he was in a particularly good mood because he didn't have to hang eggs today.
