The three of them entered the café next to them, the general asked for a cup of pure black coffee, while Fang Fan and Zhang Ze had no intention of asking for anything, they were just bent on wanting to know what the purpose of the general's coming here was. The general's small spoon slowly stirred the coffee, and the heat ran down her hand, imprinted in her eyes as clear as water, like a white rose after the rain. With such a lovely appearance, it is really difficult to associate her with the word general, this feeling is like a red-hot soldering iron being pressed against the flesh, and the moment of soft and hard fusion is always accompanied by a hoarse wail.

The general took a sip of black coffee, and spat out the orchid, the air mixed with the sourness of coffee. The general frowned slightly and said.

"It's so bitter."

Fang Fan snorted coldly and said.

"No matter how bitter it is, there is no suffering for those who are played with by the Heavenly Punishment Sect."

The general lay on the table, looked at Fang Fan pitifully and said.

"Haven't you all killed Ka Mingdai yet? I didn't say anything, how could I talk so mean. ”

Zhang Ze said excitedly.

"Mean? You haven't heard it even meaner. You must think that we can forgive you by pretending to be pitiful, it's not that simple. ”

Hearing this, the general burst out laughing.

"Forgive me? I haven't done anything wrong, do I need your forgiveness? ”

"You..."

Zhang Ze was angry with a red face and a thick neck, but it was not good to be angry in public, so he could only lean on the back of the chair and sulk. At this time, the general pointed at Zhang Ze and said lightly.

"You're one more."

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment and asked.

"What did you say?"

The general shifted his gaze to Fang Fan and said.

"How do you feel after saving those souls? Can this sense of accomplishment compensate for the damage caused by the betrayal of relatives? ”

Fang Fan stood up and stared at the general's eyes, and said lightly.

"There's an abominable face hidden beneath your skin."

Zhang Ze took Fang Fan's arm and said.

"Old Fang, let's go. There's no need to talk to her. General, let me tell you, we will definitely overthrow the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and if you know each other, leave Zhonghai City as soon as possible. ”

The general said leisurely.

"It doesn't matter, we're all chosen ones, and we're not long before we die."

Before leaving, Zhang Ze stared at the general and said.

"Neuropathy."

Then he pulled Fang Fan out of the café. Looking at the back of the two leaving, a trace of loneliness flashed on the general's face, she was like a naughty but stubborn child, and after talking back to the adults, she quietly told herself in her heart that it was not her fault, but they still didn't understand, and time would definitely prove everything. Even if she needs to be alone all the time until the situation is clear, she is willing, after all, they are already old friends who talk about everything.

Fang Fan saw a letter left by Yue Han on the dining table.

'Fang Fan, I'm leaving. Your choice is clear in front of your career and family, and I understand you, so I won't force you. I need to find a place to be quiet, maybe a day, maybe two days, maybe a year or a few years, and don't come to me. ’

The letter was very short, but every word pierced Fang Fan's heart like a knife. At this time, he felt that his world had finally completely collapsed at this moment, the Garden of Eden in his heart had been completely buried in ruins, and the sunshine of his past love could no longer nourish the earth, let alone awaken hope. Fang Fan put the letter on the table, unable to calm down for a long time. Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan and asked.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Fang Fan was silent for a long time and said.

"Yuehan is gone."

"Gone? What do you mean? ”

Fang Fan handed the letter to Zhang Ze, and he said after reading it.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find it."

Fang Fan let out a long sigh and said.

"No, it's not like you can't wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep, no matter how hard you try. It's Yuehan who wants to leave by herself, and even if I go to find it, it may not change anything. ”

Zhang Ze slammed the table and said.

"It's all this damn Heavenly Punishment Sect. Lao Fang, don't worry, when the Heavenly Punishment Sect is eradicated, I will go with you to ask Yuehan, and she will definitely change her mind. ”

Fang Fan smiled miserably and said.

"I hope."

At this time, Zhang Ze suddenly remembered what the general had just said, so he asked.

"Old Fang, what did you mean by what the general said just now?"

"What?"

"She said I was the only one left. What do you mean by that? ”

"Maybe it's just trying to scare you."

"Bah, can I scare that little girl? When I catch her, I'll show her how good I am. ”

The general had returned to the villa, and she was resting on her mother-in-law's lap like a quiet cat in the afternoon, purring coquettishly in her throat. The mother-in-law smiled and stroked her hair, which was as smooth as water from the ends to the ends.

"I had hair like you when I was younger."

The general opened his eyes slightly, looked at his mother-in-law's kind smile, and said.

"You're not old now. I feel like you're always with me. ”

The mother-in-law shook her head with a smile, pointed to the location of the general's heart, and said.

"When it's no longer empty, I'm gone."

The general held his mother-in-law's hand, warm but rough, and his old and withered hand was like a newly bought file cutting through the general's tender skin. Although there is discomfort, I feel more steady.

"It's not going to be filled up anymore."

"No, no, it's that you don't want to."

Hearing this, the general sat up and said in a gloomy tone.

"You're talking too much."

The mother-in-law stretched and said.

"I'll make you tea."

When the mother-in-law walked out of the bedroom, she saw the red bean coming towards her, and her dull gaze was like a heavy shield to isolate her heart from the world.

"General, those people have already been dealt with."

The general stood barefoot on the goose feather carpet, then ran quickly to the red bean, plunged into her arms, and said.

"I miss you so much."

The red bean was silent, and the general looked at the red bean intently with the eyes of his lover. She reveled in the love-like relationship she had created with her own hands, and it was perfect. There will be no quarrels, no suspicions, no hypocrisy, and no betrayal, because the remote control will always be held tightly in the hands of the general. Even if there is an accident, she can stop the loss in time. The word stop-loss in the relationship seems to take the overall situation into account, but in fact, it reveals the extremely selfish nature of a person.

Hongdou mechanically raised his arm to hug the general, and this cold response fully satisfied the general's vanity of longing to be noticed. She feels like she could be the happiest person in the world even if she loses Fluttershy. The general said obsessively.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The general took the red bean hand and sat down at the tea table on the windowsill, and the mother-in-law brought two cups of tea and put them on the table, and the fragrance of tea gradually spread around the three of them, but only the general was really alive.

"Hongdou, you go and send a message to Fang Fan and them. Let's say there's a dinner tomorrow and invite them to come. ”

The general shook the red bean's hand and continued.

"Remember, yes."

Red Bean nodded and said.

"Understood."

The general smiled sweetly at the afternoon sun, and then muttered to himself.

"I don't know what kind of expression you will show when you see this scene, I'm really looking forward to it."

In the evening, the door of Fang Fan's house was smashed, and Zhang Ze saw that it was a red bean from the cat's eye, so he whispered.

"It's red beans."

Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"Lin Yu, you go to the bedroom with the bone girl and Wanli, and Zhang Ze and I are here."

With that, Lin Yu and they walked into the bedroom. Fang Fan nodded and said.

"Open the door."

Zhang Ze opened the door and saw Hongdou standing outside expressionlessly, like a sculpture.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"The general asked me to bring you a message, tomorrow night the general will hold a dinner party at the villa, please be sure to be there."

Zhang Ze was now extremely excited as soon as he heard the word general.

"Phew, the ghost is going to her dinner."

As soon as the words fell, Hongdou stepped forward and strangled Zhang Ze's neck, and when Zhang Ze reacted, he was about to be suffocated, Hongdou said dumbfoundedly.

"You two must be there, or I'll take coercive measures."

Fang Fan suddenly shouted.

"Stop. You go back and tell the general that we must be there. ”

Hongdou let go of Zhang Ze and turned to leave, Fang Fan shouted behind her.

"Azuki, don't you even remember Mishima and Yuu Toyoya?"

Red Bean stopped, and after a few moments, he strode away. Zhang Ze rubbed his strangled neck and said.

"Why are you still talking to her so much? It's all been like that anyway, do you still expect her to be back to normal just by mentioning two names? ”

"Hey... I don't know when this nightmare will end. ”

"What are you doing with this useless. Let's still think about whether to go to the Hongmen banquet tomorrow night. ”

"Go, of course. But I want to go on my own. ”

"Go by yourself? Are you okay? ”

"I'll go into the villa by myself, and you and Lin Yu will pick me up outside."

"Talking panting, got it."

Fang Fan walked to the window and looked at the sunset that was sinking in the distance, the afterglow was no longer so warm, and the cold wind was about to take over the whole night. Fang Fan looked down and saw that Hongdou was talking to someone, and that person was Hu Lai. A moment later, the two of them were still standing at the door of the bar, and Fang Fan suddenly felt a little strange.

"Lao Fang, what do you see?"

"Below."

Zhang Ze also looked over.

"Isn't this that kid from Hulai? What are they talking about? ”

"I don't know, but they've been talking for a while."

"Huh? Why didn't Mishima and Yu Toyoya come out? ”

"This is also what I find strange, Mishima is so worried about red beans, and now red beans are standing at the door, but he is indifferent."

"Do you want me to go down and have a look?"

"No, I don't. Even if you go, it's in vain, I always feel like there's something wrong here. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I think these people's attitudes have changed so quickly. It seems that since Su Kang left, they have changed one after another. ”

"Do you suspect that Su Kang influenced them?"

Fang Fan touched his stubble and said.

Not necessarily. It was impossible for Su Kang alone to easily convince Mishima's stubborn guy, and even Jianyue, who was recuperating at home, offered to quit. ”

"Is there anything strange about that?"

"Jianyue has been following us for a long time, although he is always in the rear, but those hideous-looking demons and monsters have also seen a lot, and there is no reason to be frightened by this time. If it's because of Sukang, it's even more impossible. When Su Kang came to the bar to ask us to quit, Jian Yue was still recuperating at home, and he had no way of knowing what was going on. ”

"So you're guessing someone else is behind it?"

Fang Fan shook his head and said.

"I can't say it either, it's just weird."

"Others don't know, but Mishima's attitude is quite surprising to me anyway. Don't you think what we experienced together was worse than this? He almost lost his life, and he didn't see him say anything. It's good now, but before anything happened, he defected. ”

"Don't be so ugly, it's not a mutiny. If I had to say it, I think he was a little scared. At the beginning, Mishima was not afraid of heaven and earth with his own skills, and since he was the first to be injured by a resentful corpse in the first place to destroy the Heavenly Punishment Sect, his mentality has changed. It's no wonder that he fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom, and no one can stand it. ”

Zhang Ze pouted and said.

"I'll be fine."

Fang Fan smiled and said.

"That is, how many people can be as heartless as you."

"Hey, old Fang, it hurts me too much if you say that."

"Alright, just kidding. Tell everyone to come out, it's time to eat. ”

Zhang Ze was anxious for everyone to buy vegetables and cook, Wanli said.

"You can do it. I don't eat it. ”

Zhang Ze asked.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just no appetite."

Wanli's emotions were written on her face, and whenever Wanli was like this, Zhang Ze couldn't escape a beating. Zhang Ze smiled awkwardly and said.

"You don't have outsiders here, you can tell me if you have anything."

Wanli said angrily.

"Say anything, the people are gone, what else is there to say."

Hearing this, Fang Fan was stunned for a moment, he understood in his heart what Wanli's words meant. At this time, Lin Yu said.

"I went out with the bone girl to buy groceries, if you want to eat, send me a message."

Lin Yu and the bone girl left with interest, Fang Fan said.

"Wanli, I know why you're angry..."

"Know? Know you're still standing here stupidly? It's Yuehan who is leaving, it's your wife Xiao Yuehan! ”

Zhang Ze pulled Wanli's arm on the side and dissuaded.

"Wanli, calm down, calm down."

"Leave me alone. Let me tell you Fang Fan, if Yuehan is anything long, you and I are not finished. ”

After saying that, he walked towards the door angrily, Fang Fan said suddenly.

"Do you think I'm not in a hurry?"

Wanli stopped, and she turned to look at Fang Fan.

"Do you think I want things to be like this? I am also very helpless about Yuehan's sudden change, but I know that even if I find Yuehan now, it will be useless, only if I push down the Heavenly Punishment Sect, I will have the capital to find her, and I can really give her the second half of her life she wants. ”

"Okay, you are always reasonable, but now that there is no news from Yuehan, you still want to eat, your heart is really big."

"Behind me is not only Yue Han, but also Zhang Ze, Lin Yu, and all the people who trust me, do you want me to give up all this, and then put on a self-pitying look? If I don't pull myself together, then they will be ten, or even a hundred times more depressed than me. ”

Wanli kept silent, turned around and walked out. Zhang Ze hurriedly shouted.

"Why are you going?"

"If you don't look for it, then I'll go myself."

"Stop, no need. I have already told my father and second uncle about Yuehan's whereabouts, and they have sent people from Luoyun Town to find them. ”

Zhang Ze let out a long breath and said.

"Hey, let's talk about this point in the future."

After that, Zhang Ze went over and hugged Wanli's shoulders and said.

"Don't be angry, my dear. I know you're worried about Yuehan, we just need to wait for news now. ”

Wanli stepped on Zhang Ze hard and said.

"Men don't have a good thing."

With that, he went back to the room in a rage. Zhang Ze grimaced at the closed door, and then said to Fang Fan.

"Old Fang, don't be like her. Women, long hair and short knowledge, don't take it to heart. ”

Fang Fan smiled faintly and said.

"How could it be. I know Wanli is for my good. ”

"Well, if you think so, I'll thank you for her."

As soon as the words fell, Wanli opened the door, and then smashed the bedding towards Zhang Ze and shouted.

"I have long hair and short knowledge, so don't sleep with me, get out."

With that, the door closed tightly again.

"You..."

Zhang Ze was about to speak, but was stopped by Fang Fan.

"Alright, let Wanli be quiet. Go out and buy some wine, and let's have a drink in the evening. ”

After a while, Lin Yu and the bone girl came back from grocery shopping, and Zhang Ze also bought back wine. Fang Fan and Lin Yu were in charge of cooking, the bone girl was on the side, and Zhang Ze had a very serious task, which was to coax Wanli well. The three of them listened to Zhang Ze's screams in the room in the kitchen, and shook their heads again and again. The meals were all ready and placed on the table, and at this time, Wanli's door opened, and she knew that Zhang Ze was choked when she looked happy. Fang Fan walked into the room and looked at Zhang Ze lying on the bed with his stomach pouting and said.

"The rice is cooked, do you want to eat it?"

Zhang Ze said weakly.

"I have to take it slowly, you don't have to wait for me to eat, help me close the door."

Cook for two hours and eat for five minutes. After a stormy meal, Lin Yu and the bone girl went to wash the dishes, Wanli saw that the rice in Fang Fan's bowl did not move, and there were many empty wine bottles next to it, so she said.

"Fang Fan, my words may be a bit heavy, you..."

Fang Fan smiled and said.

"It's okay, I know you're doing it for my good, and I'm also worried about Yuehan. How could I be mad at you. ”

Wanli nodded, then got up and walked towards the bedroom, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhang Ze still pouting and lying there.

"Get up, get up."

Hearing this, Zhang Ze quickly dodged and said Wanli.

"You go out to accompany Fang Fan, and today's matter will be over."

Zhang Ze suddenly came to his senses and said.

"Gotta order."

With that, he trotted out. When Fang Fan was just about to open another bottle of wine, Zhang Ze said.

"Good fellow, you're almost out of drink."

Fang Fan handed the opened wine to Zhang Ze and said.

"Who told you to pout your cheeks?"

Zhang Ze took a sip and said.

"Let's have a bite to eat. It's easy for you to turn yourself into drunk shrimp in such a way of drinking. ”

Fang Fan laughed. Looking back on this journey, in addition to the empathetic Yuehan beside him, it is Zhang Ze, who has been dead hearted. Without him, Fang Fan really didn't know how many times he had died. He looked at Zhang Ze and suddenly had a different kind of emotion, Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan's strange eyes and asked.

"What are you doing? Why do you think so of me? I'll sue you, I'd rather bend than bend. ”

Fang Fan said with a drunken smile.

"I think you're very much like my son."

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment and said.

"Old Fang, it's boring for you to take advantage of it like this."

Fang Fan suddenly stood up and said.

"I see."

"What do you know?"

Fang Fan walked to the window step by step, pointed to the Spring Bar downstairs, and said.

"I know why they're quitting."

Zhang Ze looked at him like that and said.

"Tut-tut, it's not easy to drink like this and still think about business. Tell me what you know. ”

Fang Fan suddenly stopped talking, Zhang Ze walked over and found that he was leaning his head against the glass, staring directly at the flickering neon lights of the Spring Bar, and said after a long time.

"Because I'm a fool, their lives have been delayed by me."

After that, Fang Fan pointed at himself and laughed stupidly. Zhang Ze looked at Fang Fan like this, and suddenly felt sad, only he knew what Fang Fan had paid all along. It's really embarrassing to encounter such a result now.

"Old Fang, don't drink it. You're sleepy, it's time to go to sleep. ”

Fang Fan shook off Zhang Ze's hand and said.

"Sleep? What a sleep! My wife doesn't want me anymore, what else do I sleep. I'm going to go out and play and fly a kite in the river. ”

"There's a ghost kite in the river. Hurry up and go to bed. ”

After that, Zhang Ze carried Fang Fan into the bedroom, and when he closed the door, he noticed the stunned Lin Yu and the bone girl, Zhang Ze said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've drunk too much."

Lin Yu and the bone girl smiled, and then went to rest. At this time, Zhang Ze himself was left in the living room, he picked up the wine bottle and drank most of the bottle, listening to the snoring sound in Fang Fan's room, he smiled. Zhang Ze looked at the clock on the wall and said in a low voice.

"I wish this was over sooner."

The next afternoon, Fang Fan woke up groggily, he had drunk too much last night, and he had something in his heart, so the wine came up very violently. At this time, his mouth was dry, and when he saw the water on the bedside table, he drank it all.

"Zhang Ze, Zhang Ze."

Fang Fan screamed a few times but no one responded, he patted his head that was about to crack and said.

"Where have they gone?"

Fang Fan sat at the dining table, and lunch was still on the table. Fang Fan called Zhang Ze and asked.

"Where did you go?"

"Fang Fan."

Hearing this voice, Fang Fan's whole body was shocked, and then he stood up and said.

"General. How could you be holding his phone? ”

"Don't panic. Although our banquet was scheduled for the evening, Zhang Ze seemed to be a little unable to hold back his excitement. ”

"I warn you, if you dare to touch a finger of him, I guarantee you will die an ugly death."

"Don't get excited, as long as you arrive at the villa at the time we agreed, Zhang Ze will be safe and sound. But if you're late, I can't guarantee where Red Bean will go from him. ”

"You..."

The general had already hung up the phone, and at this time Wanli returned.

"Fang Fan, you're awake. Do you know where Zhang Ze is? I didn't answer the phone, and this guy was itching again. ”

"What about Lin Yu?"

"He went shopping with the bone girl."

"Get them back right now."

Wanli looked at Fang Fan with a nervous look, so she hurriedly called the bone girl. After a while, Lin Yu and the Bone Girl came back, Fang Fan said.

"From now on, stay at home and don't go anywhere."

"What's wrong?"

Fang Fan pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said.

"Something happened to Zhang Ze. He went to the general alone to settle accounts. ”

Lin Yu stood up in surprise and said.

"What? Is this guy crazy? ”

Fang Fan said with a frown.

"I must have said something to irritate him last night, or he wouldn't have been so impulsive."

"What are your plans?"

Fang Fan looked at the time and said.

"It's four o'clock, the general's dinner is set at six o'clock, you must rush to the villa before six o'clock, otherwise Zhang Ze will be in danger."

"So what are you waiting for, let's go."

Before leaving, Fang Fan looked at Wanli and said.

"I'll bring him back."

Originally, Fang Fan thought that Wanli would be very excited, but who knew that she said lightly.

"Not only Zhang Ze, you all have to come back safe and sound."

Fang Fan nodded and ran out, followed by Lin Yu. The moment the two of them came out of the corridor, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, the sunset that should still be hanging in the sky was gone, and there was still a glimmer of light in the sky quickly dimmed, and soon a red moon climbed above Zhonghai City, and the whole city was dyed blood red, and even the darkest corner of the city could not escape the infiltration of the blood moon, as if the smell of blood was dispersed in the air in an instant.
