"Bayi ......" Old Man Mo paused for a moment, closed his eyes, and then continued. Bayi is also a member of the Mo family, but I didn't want him to become a priest, so I changed his surname, but it didn't work. Because, there is only one heir left in the Mo family. ”

What the?!

Ji Yu looked at Bayi in shock, he was actually a member of the Mo family, and he was still the last heir.

"What about you? Didn't you say you were the one who wandered here? And why a priest? ”

"I'm ......" Old Man Mo was stunned for a moment before he said. People, they all have rebellious periods, don't they? ”

“…… At that time, I always felt that it was too boring to stay in this small mountain village, and I didn't have a strong sense of responsibility. I always want to go to the outside world to break through, so that I don't come to this world in vain.

However, when I went out, I realized how difficult and dangerous the outside world was, so I had the intention of coming back. But thinking that it would be too embarrassing to come back like this, I made up my mind to make a career and come back. But in the end, he fled back in embarrassment.

The business failed, and he was cheated out of all his family funds by his partner, and he still owed a lot of debts, and he was driven to the door by the debt collector before coming back. I'm not a wanderer, what else can I be? ”

Old Man Mo's tone and expression made Ji Yu feel how bad and sad Old Man Mo was at that time.

Ji Yu lowered his head and was silent. Bayi just listened, didn't speak. Mainly because he couldn't interject.

Old Man Mo looked at the low Ji Yu, and suddenly asked, "Then how did you know about the sacrifice?" ”

"Ah......h

Ji Yu heard Old Man Mo's voice and reacted.

"We met a little girl at a ridge and asked her about the yokai, and she told us about the ritual, and she invited us to participate. What's wrong, what's the problem? ”

"What is that girl like?" Old Man Mo was silent for a moment and asked.

"She's about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a moon-white dress." Ji Yu thought for a while and said. "As for the looks, I can't remember, but they look good anyway."

"Oh, that's right." Old Man Mo replied casually in contemplation.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yu asked suspiciously.

"It's okay, let's eat first." Old Man Mo came back to his senses and said.

"Hmm."

Old Man Mo first sandwiched a chopstick dish before they started.

After telling the story for so long, the dishes are cold.

After they had eaten, Ji Yu sat for a while. After looking at the time, it was already afternoon. Ji Yu said goodbye to Old Man Mo and Bayi, and went back.

When Ji Yu returned to Bayi's house, Li Yang and Mu Yan had not yet returned. He went to look at Lu An and saw that Lu An was in good condition. After tidying up for him, he went to the living room to wait for Li Yang and Mu Yan while thinking about things.

And when he thought about it, he fell into a trance, and he didn't even know that Li Yang and Mu Yan were back.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Li Yang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Ji Yu's eyes and asked.

"Ahh

Ji Yu heard Li Yang's voice and came back to his senses in shock. "I didn't ...... Nothing, you're back. ”

"Well, it's been a while." Mu Yan replied.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed." Li Yang asked. "Is Lu An okay?"

Not long after they returned, they hadn't been to see Lu An yet.

"Lu An is fine." Ji Yu replied, lowered his head and thought about it, and decided to tell them the story he heard today, and let them think about it with him.

"That, Mu Yan. Do you remember how we knew about this sacrifice? ”

"Remember, what's wrong?" Mu Yan said suspiciously.

Ji Yu adjusted his tone and said, "I went out today and found out about one thing, which is about sacrifices. ”

"What's the matter?"

Ji Yu told them the story he heard at noon today.

After listening to this, they were also silent.

"You say, could the little girl I met with Mu Yan that day be that Momo?" Ji Yu asked uncertainly. After all, the way she and Momo appear is so similar, it's exactly the same, but there is no singing.

They remained silent. After a while, Li Yang raised his head and said, "It's impossible to guess, didn't they say that Momo lives in the back mountain, then let's go and see if this Momo is a human or a ghost." ”

Mu Yan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'm ......" As soon as Ji Yu spoke, he was interrupted by Li Yang.

"You continue to take care of Lu An, he is our hole card, don't make a mistake. This is a task that only you can accomplish. ”

Ji Yu looked at Mu Yan with a blank eye, Mu Yan looked at Ji Yu like this, and couldn't bear to refuse. But when he thought of Ji Yu's strength, he might be hurt if he went, so he could only nod ruthlessly. Mu Yan turned his head away, not daring to look at Ji Yu's expression.

"Alright then, when are you going?" Ji Yu asked a little lost.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just tonight, there may be no time tomorrow." Although Li Yang also felt unbearable, he still said.

"Oh, be careful, go early and come back early." Ji Yu is still lost. He also knew that his strength was not good, and if he went, he would only lag behind, but he was still disappointed.

"Then let's go after dark, it's too early to go, it's easy to startle the snake. Let's go take a break. Li Yang stretched his waist and said as he returned to the room. After he finished speaking, he also went to the room, and the voice drifted from afar.

"Language." Mu Yan looked at the lost Ji Yu and shouted softly. Looking at Ji Yu's lost appearance, his heart throbbed slightly. He didn't know why, but he didn't want Ji Yu to be sad, but he was the one who made Ji Yu sad every time.

"I'm fine, after all, you are also for my good, I'm afraid I'll get hurt." Ji Yu shook his head, put on a smile, and tried to make an appearance that he didn't care. The smile does not have the usual warm feeling, but makes people feel sad.

Mu Yan hugged Ji Yu and made a promise that he didn't know if it was right or wrong.

"In the future, I will accompany you, even if the sky falls, I will support you."

Ji Yu was stunned for a moment, and then hugged Mu Yan tightly. Tears are like beads of broken thread, and they can't be stopped.

"I'd love to help you, but I'm ...... I'm very weak, and if I go, I'll only hold you back. Ji Yu cried bitterly, he hated this weak and incompetent self so much.

"I'm so useless, I can't do anything, and I can't help you."

Mu Yan hugged Ji Yu tightly in distress and patted him lightly on the back.

"Who said that words are not useless people. If there is no language, how can we know so much information, language is our bag to inquire. It's something we can't live without. ”

It was rare for Mu Yan to say such a long list of words, and his gentle tone seemed to be dripping water.

"Hmm."

Ji Yu nodded, and the tears not only did not stop, but became even more turbulent. He buried his head in Mu Yan's neck, and his tears wet Mu Yan's clothes.

Mu Yan just hugged Ji Yu tightly, and it wasn't until Ji Yu fell asleep that he carried Ji Yu back to the room and placed it. looked at the sky and wrote a note to Ji Yu. went to wake up Li Yang and went to the back mountain with him.

Ji Yu...... You okay? ”

On the way, Li Yang thought about it, and out of concern for his companions, he still asked.

“…… He's fine, just a little emotional. Mu Yan was silent for a moment before answering.

"It's okay." Li Yang replied, and did not speak again, but concentrated on hurrying.

They bypassed Old Man Mo's house and entered the back mountain from the end of the village.

"Mu Yan, do you feel that it is getting colder and colder?" Li Yang exhaled, rubbed his hands, and said.

"Hmm." Mu Yan still cherishes words like gold.

"Well, is it dark?"

Ji Yu opened his eyes and noticed that it was already dark outside.

"Why did I fall asleep?" Ji Yu propped himself up, looked around, and found a note on the bedside table.

He opened the note, and on it was Mu Yan's message: Yu, let's go to Houshan first. If you wake up, just watch Luan, we'll be back soon, don't worry.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of Mountains, and the Classic of the North Mountains" says: "Two hundred and fifty miles to the north, it is said that the mountain of seeking is like this, and there is more copper on it, and there is more jade under it, and there is no grass and trees." The water slides out of the Yan, and the west flows into the water of Zhu [left fontanelle right ratio]. Among them, there are many slippery fish. Its shape is like a skull, its back is bareback, its sound is like a sycamore, and it has been wart when eaten. Among them, there are many water horses, whose shape is like a horse, and the tail of the ox with the arm is written, and its sound is like a call. ”
