The earthen house, the firewood, the wooden table, the stone bench, the chessboard, and the addition of a round of the sunset that is about to sink in the west, will pull Hua Wuqing and Ye Qinggu into a terrifying, murderous world of Go.

Hua Wuqing hadn't met such a powerful opponent for a long time, he was good at modeling and layout, and he had quite a high attainment in Go, but now, in this unknown mountain land, the inconspicuous old man in front of him could be on a par with him and indistinguishable.

In this game, from afternoon to dusk, and from dusk to evening, the stars in the sky were dim, and the two hung an oil lamp on the mulberry tree next to them to continue to fall.

There are more and more chess pieces on the chessboard, and there are fewer and fewer places for the pieces to land, and it has reached the stage of 'counting chess', Hua Wuqing is holding a white piece and is undecided, every move is now a life and death move, related to the success or failure of the whole game, and few people can force him to this point.

A cool breeze blew, blowing the oil lamp, the oil lamp swayed from side to side, flickering and dimming.

"Smack~"

Suddenly, the chess pieces in Hua Wuqing's hand fell onto the chessboard, looked at the sky, stared at Yeqinggu and asked incredulously: "It's already so deep at night, why didn't you hear the little girl crying?" ”

Because of Hua Qianyu's condition, she would cry for a while every night, but not tonight.

Ye Qinggu also came back to his senses, and the two hurriedly returned to the house to check.

Inside the earthen house, under the dim incandescent light, Hua Qianyu was lying on the wooden table for eating, teaching Xiao Yebai, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, to write his name with his own hands, looking no different from a normal child.

And at this time, she usually curled up in the brightest light and shivered, and it was useless for anyone to appease her.

"Could it be that Xiaoyu's condition is better?" Hua Wuqing was surprised and delighted.

It's just that he was happy too early, and when Ye Bai was taken to sleep in the next room by his grandfather, Hua Qianyu's illness happened again.

She should have fallen asleep, but when she found that Ye Bai was not around, she jumped up from the bed in fright, ran to the incandescent lamp and squatted there and began to tremble, her face became pale, her eyes were round like copper bells, like a frightened fledgling, and she peeked around uneasily.

"Hurry up and call Ye Bai!"

Hua Wuqing felt that the improvement of Hua Qianyu's condition before might be related to Ye Bai, so she immediately invited him over.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Bai appeared, Hua Qianyu cried out and threw herself into his arms like seeing a savior.

"It's okay, it's okay, my brother is here!" Ye Bai gently stroked her head and comforted, "Didn't I tell you all last night, if you see monsters in the dark again, think of yourself as immortals, don't be afraid of them, we can even fight real beasts, are you still afraid of these fake monsters!" ”

"But I'm not a god!" Hua Qianyu shed tears bigger than pearls in her arms, and said aggrievedly, "I can't beat them, you helped me get rid of them." ”

"Okay, okay, that little white brother has been by your side, and those monsters naturally don't dare to come close to you, don't you cry, okay?"

"Good!"

Hua Qianyu immediately wiped away her tears.

Hua Wuqing and Ye Qinggu were amazed after watching it, they didn't expect that last night's tribulation together actually made Hua Qianyu trust and rely on Ye Bai, Ye Bai can bring her a sense of security, as long as Ye Bai is by her side, she can temporarily overcome her fear of darkness.

For Hua Wuqing, this was tantamount to letting him see a glimmer of hope, and an excited man was about to cry.

That night, Hua Qianyu spent the most peaceful and stable night in this time, and Ye Bai did not leave until she fell asleep.

A few days later, Hua Wuqing received an encrypted phone call and learned that the cooperation signed with TX General Manager a few days ago officially took effect.

This time, they decided to build a secret base 20,000 meters under the sea.

For Hua Wuqing, who loves modeling, this will be an unprecedented test, and he will have to devote all his talent and effort to doing it.

But if so, who should take care of Hua Qianyu, whose condition has improved slightly?

Still under the old mulberry tree in the yard, the two continued to gather unfinished a few days ago, and Hua Wuqing was undecided.

"Something?" Ye Qinggu asked.

"Ye Lao, Hua has a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree?"

"You speak first."

"I want to entrust the little girl to your care, you also know that she can't do without Ye Bai, and I have something important to do and have to leave, so I have to wait for her condition to get better and I will take her back. In return, I will bear the lives of the three of you and the tuition fees of the two of them in the past few years, and I hope to be able to agree. ”

Ye Qinggu frowned and said, "I also like this child Xiaoyu, I am naturally happy that she can stay here." But you have to think about it, what a child like her needs most is the company of her family, can you bear it? ”

Hua Wuqing's eyebrows were furrowed, her expression was entangled, she gritted her teeth, stood up and bowed, and said, "Please!" ”

In the face of the great cause he dreamed of, he had to make a certain parting.

Hua Wuqing left, Hua Qianyu stayed, and she cried a few times at first.

Later, I didn't know what method Ye Bai used, she didn't cry anymore and didn't make trouble, she became Ye Bai's little follower, went around to challenge other children in the nearby villages, and went farther and farther on the road of no return between the female man and the eldest sister......

In this way, children from two different classes blended together, followed each other like shadows, spent their youthful childhood, and walked through a childhood time hand in hand.

~

Because Ye Qinggu's thinking is more traditional, girls and boys are not allowed to sleep in the same room, so in those years, in a certain earthen house in the mountains of Sichuan, there would be such a conversation every night:

"Shiro, are you asleep?"

"It's not big, it's not small, it's called brother!"

"Hey, hey! Don't scream! ”

~

"White?"

"In Nai, in Nai! Go to sleep. ”

"Okay!"

~

"Dead white! Did you sleep? ”

"It's getting bigger and smaller, if you call it like that again, I won't want you!"

"You dare! Grandpa, come on, bully me for nothing! ”

"Okay, okay, don't shout, I'll respond to you, wake up grandpa, I have to go outside to squat."

"Hey, hey!"

The girl smiled so happily that every time she could hear the boy's voice before going to bed, she would fall asleep as if she had taken a reassuring pill.
