In the heavy rain, Ji Ran held the umbrella and walked with Xiao Qi for less than two steps, so he directly stuffed the umbrella into her hand, and then carried her on her back and walked quickly in the rainy night.

Xiao Qi didn't need to open his mouth to get what he wanted, and he didn't say a word to Ji Ran. She lay on Ji Ran's shoulder,

"By the way, do you live alone?"

"Hmm."

"Then how can you have a dress that a girl wears?"

Ji Ran was silent for a while,

"It's my mother's old clothes." Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered Ji Ran's life experience that he had heard from Sister A and Du Tianshi before.

She couldn't help but bite her tongue lightly, why didn't she open which pot to mention. The rain smashed on the umbrella surface, and Xiao Qi stumbled a little to speak,

"Then the last time you said that you were going to draw the official house lot, did you win the lottery?"

"The rotation will only start the day after tomorrow." Ji Ran replied softly.

"Don't you like that courtyard, I guess, the official residence should not be as spacious as it" Ji Ran looked ahead and did not answer.

Xiao Qi waited for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Tianji Palace, Ji Ran had said the reason, and the small courtyard seemed to be left by Ji Ran's mother, and the courtyard itself was good, but the neighborhood was too noisy, so that sometimes it was not good to rest at night.

I still can't get home because I have no words to find words, and the more I ask, the more embarrassed Xiao Qi sighed, and decided to shut up and rest for a while.

However, Ji Ran suddenly spoke at this time,

"It's not, I just don't want to owe Du Tianshi a favor." Xiao Qi was slightly stunned, this seemed to be a little different from what he said before.

Ji Ran said softly,

"When I went to Luoyang before, there was no place to stay, Du Tianshi told me that my mother secretly purchased this house because she liked the peonies in Luoyang, so that it would be convenient for the servants of the family to settle down when they came here to buy peonies. The Heavenly Master said that he had just turned over the title deed of the house that had been kept with him back then, and remembered what was going on, so he returned the property to the original owner. He paused,

"I saw it dilapidated and moved in without much thought."

"Later, I found out that it wasn't," Xiao Qi asked.

"Hmm. He secretly bought this mansion and gave it to me. Xiao Qi replied softly,

"Heavenly Master is so attentive."

"Maybe it's guilt."

"Guilt"

"Well, he promised to take good care of me before my mother died," Ji Ran was silent for a while, and then laughed low for a long time,

"And he did his best." Xiao Qi faintly heard some helplessness from Ji Ran's laughter. Thinking of Du Weifeng's previous actions of either being too busy to disappear or being so casual that he was idle and wild, it was indeed difficult for Xiao Qi to imagine how such a person would take care of his children.

She was a little curious about Ji Ran's experience over the years, so she asked. Ji Ran was a little surprised, few people took the initiative to ask him about these things in the past, and he never mentioned it to anyone.

The heavy rain separated the world under the umbrella from the outside, Ji Ran raised his head and thought about it, there were really many places he had stayed in over the years.

From the beginning of his memory, he followed his mother, and then when his mother died when he was six years old, he went to Tianji Palace with the Heavenly Master.

His awareness of his own spiritual power and the enlightenment of the demon world were all brought up by Du Weifeng. However, Du Weifeng was so busy that after the initial period of getting along, the Celestial Master often disappeared into the mountains and forests of Daizong Mountain for months and months.

No one knows what he's doing, and no one knows when he's going to be back. After about two years like this, a somewhat familiar and somewhat strange man suddenly appeared outside the mountain gate of Tianji Palace, which was his father He Yunzhou, he led people to make a big fuss in Tianji Palace, but the monks in Tianji Palace were unmoved, and resisted until Du Mock came back.

Du asked him if he wanted to stay on the mountain or go down the mountain with his father. Ji Ran gave the answer almost without any hesitation.

If there is a reason for the choice at that time, it may be because any child who has been abandoned in the mountains for many years, wondering whether he has been forgotten by everyone, cannot refuse a father who suddenly comes to the door and is full of affection.

However, everything is like a spinning script, forever repeating the same story line. After going down the mountain, He Yunzhou accompanied Ji Ran day and night, taking care of him as he did when Du Weifeng took him up the mountain.

Later, he began to take Ji Ran in and out of various fireworks and willow alleys, and once he got drunk, he leaned on the arms of various red-sleeved beauties and cried to the beauties about the misfortune of this half of his life.

Whenever he was emotional, He Yunzhou had to point to Ji Ran and reprimand how the Ji family abandoned him ruthlessly, leaving him with an irreparable emotional wound in his heart.

is such an affectionate prodigal son, often deceiving those little girls who have just entered the turbidity hall, and they belittle them in front of Ji Ran

"Ji's" didn't know how to do it and didn't know how to cherish it, and then one by one they dedicated themselves to He Yunzhou, and hoped that this man who was still affectionate to the deceased many years after the death of his deceased wife could take them away from the sea of fire in the turbidity hall.

Although the endings of each of them are different, the lessons they have learned from He Yunzhou are surprisingly consistent in the sea of fire of the Turbidity Hall, each man comes for different things, some are for vassal elegance, some are greedy for fish and water, and some people are even people with noble status like He Yunzhou, who will also hold ugly desires, and harvest a batch of immature sincerity here.

At first, the various reprimands of his father and the fireworks woman made Ji Ran feel terrified, as if since his mother had passed away, he should bear all the responsibility for his father's tears.

However, as he stayed by He Yunzhou's side for longer and longer, in his father's reprimanding words that changed again and again, Ji Ran finally realized that He Yunzhou was a bastard full of lies.

But in the entire He family, only He Yunzhou would smile at himself when he was going to take his son out to have fun, and use this ten-year-old boy as a prop to go to Bojiaren's tears.

And the days when He Yunzhou didn't go to the turbidity hall, Ji Ran was forgotten in the side courtyard again, just like when he was in Tianji Palace.

It's even worse than the situation in Tianji Palace. More than once he heard servants talking behind him, saying that he looked too much like Madame Ji, no wonder the old lady didn't like him and so on.

On a rainy night, Ji Ran climbed out of the wall of the He family, took the pine hairpin left by his mother, and left the He family and all the blood relatives here.

All this doom began with the death of his mother at the age of six, and lasted until he was eleven years old, and lasted until he made his mark in the Ping Demon Department with his amazing talent.

After that, life changed from cruel and hideous overnight, and a friendly hand was extended to him.

And he worked extremely hard, holding every opportunity. Ji Ran understated many things, and many details were directly skipped without mentioning them, nothing more than talking about the past in a straightforward manner, but after Xiao Qi heard it, he unconsciously gritted his teeth.

Speaking of the time in the Ping Demon Bureau, Ji Ran became happy again, and he proudly talked about how he broke through the perception of newcomers by a group of masters again and again.

"You're working so hard." Xiao Qi's voice was a little low.

"Well, yes. If you can't be the one who comes out on top, you'll be quickly overwhelmed by the sea of people, and no one will remember you. Ji Ran said softly.
