In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the chirping of birds sounded outside the window.

The person on the bed was lying on his back, his hands resting on his lower abdomen in a regular manner, and he had not changed his posture at all since he fell asleep, and if it were not for the slightly undulating chest and abdomen when breathing, it would look like a cold and hard sculpture.

There was a faint movement outside the living room, the door opened and closed gently, and a faint footstep drew closer. The man outside paused in front of the study door, turned and walked away, followed by the sound of the television in the living room.

Zhao opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he seemed to have been awake for a long time.

The quilt was neatly stacked next to him, and he rolled over and got out of bed, the sheets under him were also flat, only the soft pillow sank slightly, leaving marks.

Zhao put on slippers, opened the door and went out, and took a look, the door of the master bedroom was still closed. He went straight to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, the toothpaste was mint flavored, very refreshing, and the bathroom was filled with a faint fragrance, a bit like the fragrance of shower gel, and a bit like the smell of perfume used by Yan Yunkai.

Zhao Piaoji washed his face after brushing his teeth, turned off the faucet, hung up the towel, and looked at himself in his glasses. With short black hair, black eyes, and black and white striped pajamas, he is no different from ordinary people in this era.

He's also been able to adapt to the city's night-lit cities, with its skyscrapers, cars on the roads, and electronics that seem convenient and magical.

The human race has always been a creative race, from the ancient drill wood for fire, knotted rope records, Cangjie characters, to the later feudal period of the luni-solar calendar, meridian theory, the four major inventions, and then to modern computers, radio, the Internet...... Regardless of geographical and national borders, the short lifespan of human beings does not stop them from yearning for the future, and there is no doubt that the Terrans, who are powerless in the eyes of the monster gods, have achieved far more than the gods can imagine in thousands of years.

Zhao withdrew his gaze from the mirror and dried his hands.

The volume of the TV in the living room was turned down to very low, and the daylight outside the floor-to-ceiling window was not very bright, Wang Tailor sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a large meat bun in his small hands, gnawing on his lips with oil, and staring at the cartoon playing on the TV with big eyes without blinking.

There are several bags of breakfast on the coffee table, egg pancakes and roasted wheat milk, soy milk fritters and bun porridge, and there are many types.

Wang Di took a bite of the meat bun, didn't look at him, and said vaguely: "Breakfast is on the coffee table, pick your favorite to eat." ”

Zhao Piaoji sat down on the side, brought a bag casually, inserted the straw into the mouth on the lid of the soybean milk cup, and took a sip. It's a little hot, and the sugar is too much.

"Why do you wake up so early?" Wang asked him.

There were no clocks in the house, so Zhao looked at the sky outside and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Wang Di glanced at his phone: "It's half past six, Yan Yunkai didn't come back so late last night, and he must sleep until noon before he gets up." He is not afraid of life, and he is also very familiar with Zhao Thief, who has not known him for a few days and has no known origin, and he is very happy to be able to go out to play today, "Yan Yunkai asked me to accompany you to go around, do you have any places you want to go?" ”

Zhao didn't know much about the capital, nor did he know much about modern entertainment, so he shook his head indifferently.

Wang Di rarely goes out to play by himself, and he can't think of anything interesting except for the nearby business district. He simply searched for interesting attractions in Beijing on Baidu, and the most recommended was the Forbidden City.

Wang Di silently quit his mobile phone Baidu, looking very disliked the Forbidden City.

"Anywhere." Zhao Pirate noticed the change in his mood, saw the child's rare serious face, and said lightly, "Go to the place you like." ”

Wang Ju nodded, didn't know what to think, and grinned at Zhao Thief: "What you said." ”

After breakfast, Wang Shu urged Zhao to change his clothes and go out, put the rest of the breakfast into the pot to keep warm before leaving, and intimately developed a WeChat message for Yan Yun to remind him to eat breakfast.

However, when Yan Yunkai woke up, it was already eleven o'clock at noon. He was the only one in the house, and he washed up and went to the kitchen.

There was a call from the mobile phone, Yan Yunkai answered the phone, lifted the lid of the pot, and took out the early bag. I flipped it over and cracked it open.

"Hello? Mom. He held his mobile phone in one hand and performed peeling eggshells with one hand, "Mmmmmmmm, I'm having lunch and I'll go home in the afternoon." ”

On the other side, the mother eagerly asked, "Mom cooked you something to eat that night, did you bring your friends back?" ”

Yan Yunkai pretended not to hear the expectation in his mother's words, and said with a light smile: "No." ”

"Son, you're twenty-five years old, and your mother doesn't interfere with your friends......"

Yan Yunkai wanted to laugh a little when he heard this, and said seriously: "Your son is so good, he is only twenty-five years old, he is still young, so he is not in a hurry." ”

"What's not in a hurry! When your dad was your age, you were born! ”

Yan Yunkai smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know." I'm not as lucky as my father, I didn't find a better half like you......" He took a bite of the egg, the egg was already cold, and the taste was not particularly good, he was not very satisfied, but he still ate two or three bites, and patiently listened to his mother's nagging, and finally said a few good words gently, coaxed his mother, and then hung up the phone.

Throwing the eggshell into the trash, Yan Yunkai glanced at the time and went back to the room to change a set of clothes. When he was going home today, he didn't dress too steadily, wearing a light gray casual shirt on his upper body, and the loose hem half was tucked into skinny ripped jeans, and the hem of the pants was folded up to reveal a slender white ankle.

He straightened his hair in the mirror and looked at it for a long time, feeling that he was dressed fashionably and young, and then he was satisfied. so that the mother knows that her son is in the prime of his youth and is really not in a hurry to find a partner.

Yan Yunkai changed his clothes, took out a bag of milk from the pot, took the milk in his mouth, carried a bunch of keys, and went home.

Yan Yunkai laughed at himself for being a poor civil servant, which is actually very unreasonable.

After all, not every poor civil servant has a set of courtyard houses at home.

The dog barked in the yard, and as soon as Yan Yunkai entered the door of the house, a husky rushed over, circling around his feet, and his tail kept wagging his tail.

"Zixin, stop screaming." Yan Yunkai gently kicked it away.

The husky was still yelling at him excitedly.

Yan Yunkai's mother, Ms. You Daidai, probably heard the dog barking, trotted out of the kitchen with a smile, and grabbed her son's arm: "Ouch, how did you lose weight." ”

Ms. You Daidai is nearly fifty years old this year, but she is very well maintained and her charm is still there, and it is not difficult to see that she was a beauty when she was young. She has a good family background since she was a child, her parents loved her before she got married, and her husband spoiled her after she got married, and even her son grew up to be obedient to her.

"I haven't been back for a week at most, so I've lost weight...... Yan Yunkai helped his mother into the house, "What about Dad and Grandpa?" ”

"Your dad hasn't gotten off work yet, grandpa is in the living room, and your grandpa Chu is also there, hurry up and go in to say hello." You Daidai looked at her son, her eyes were full of love, "I said you, if you work hard, you will resign and come home, your mother just gives you the company to manage, you are happy, and you want to retire early to hold your grandson...... Alas, forget it, mom won't make it difficult for you. ”

Mother has always liked children very much, and after he came out of the closet with the family in the early years, the saddest thing was his mother.

Yan Yunkai rubbed his lower lip with his joints, didn't pick up the stubble, and said with a smile: "I'll go and say hello to grandpa first, I just have something I want to ask Old Man Chu." ”

His courtyard is very modern, the main wing room and the two side rooms have been replanned, entering from the middle entrance, divided into a living room and dining room, and divided into several bedrooms connected to the back cover room.

In the living room, two gray-haired old men were playing chess, and Yan Yunkai walked up to them and poured two cups of tea.

"Grandpa, I'm back. Grandpa Chu is also here, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm still thinking about finding a time to see you. ”

Just after a game of chess, Old Man Yan picked up the teacup, and Yan Yunkai helped clean up the chessboard.

Chu Jun drank tea with a smile and looked at him lovingly: "I'm back, I seem to have lost weight." ”

The relationship between the two families is good, Yan Yunkai played in the Chu family a lot when he was a child, and Chu Jun is an old-timer who retired from the Ninth Division, Yan Yunkai was not inhibited at all, and said: "Grandpa Chu, I have something I want to ask you about work." ”

Chu Jun put down the teacup slowly, a little surprised: "I have been retired for a long time, old man, except for getting a pension, I have never been in contact with the work of the unit. ”

"That's right." Yan Yunkai put away the chessboard and sat down with the old people, after all, it was a case of the unit, and he didn't reveal much information, "We sorted out the old file before, and noticed a case where the suspect's testimony mentioned 'two dragons fighting' during the Republic of China, and there were dragon scales in the list of evidence, and the author was signed by you." Because we haven't found any traces of dragons over the years, I feel a little curious, did there really be a dragon in the human world in that era? Did you leave any relevant deeds? ”

Decades have passed, Chu Jun recalled for a while, and then said slowly: "It's the case of the weasel." ”

Yan Yunkai said: "Do you still have an impression? ”

Chu Jun reached out to take the teapot, and Yan Yunkai hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for the old man.

"Of course I was impressed. Although the case was after the founding of the People's Republic of China, before that, I heard the elders talk about it and said that there were dragons during the Republic of China, but it is said that there were not two, but only one dragon. Chu Jun took a shallow sip and sighed, "I don't know the specifics of the dragon in the Republic of China, and the older generation almost doesn't talk about it with the juniors." ”

Yan Yunkai wondered, "Why?" Isn't this something to keep in mind for warlocks? ”

Chu Jun shook his head, calmly glanced at his old friend sitting next to him, and pointed with a smile: "Chongshan, you don't tell stories to juniors." ”

Yan Chongshan drank tea in a peaceful mood: "How do I know this story, there is really no one to talk about, and after a long time, I don't think about it anymore." ”

"Why?" Yan Yunkai didn't understand.

Yan Chongshan looked at his grandson and said for a long time: "I heard that in order to find that white dragon, many people were broken, and many powerful Taoist priests, monks, Jianghu warlocks and even monsters who were good friends with people lost their lives. Including my father, your great-grandfather. We don't know how things went, but we know that the ending was very bleak. The surviving people never talked about the dragon until they died, and we didn't know what was going on here. ”

Yan Chongshan smiled: "I was only four or five years old at the time, and now I am old...... There are some puzzles that are left to you young people to study. ”

When Grandpa was four or five years old, it was probably 1938 or 1939. Yan Yunkai did the math and felt that this year seemed a little familiar.

He was stunned.

Turn back the clock and go back to a few days ago, behind Qingcheng Mountain.

The moonlight was hazy, and the voice of a man in a long robe was hoarse.

- "The year I entered the enchantment was the 28th year of the Republic of China. ”

The 28th year of the Republic of China is 1939.

Could it be a coincidence? It's not impossible, in the war years, monsters are rampant, and it's really eventful. Many of the strange stories he heard when he was a child happened in the years when the mountains and rivers were broken.

Yan Yunkai kept an eye on it, but he was not too nervous, and seeing that the two elders didn't know too much, he thoughtfully revealed the topic and chatted a few words about homely things.

The phone vibrated a little.

Yan Yunkai clicked on WeChat, and saw that Wang Jie sent him several photos to brush the screen, he clicked on one casually, the background was a pirate ship, and in the photo, Zhao Thief was carrying a bottle of mineral water with a blank face, without looking at the camera, Wang Tailor grimaced at the camera.

Yan Yunkai replied: Where did he choose?

Wang Jie: I chose hehehehe, we're going to the haunted house next!

Yan Yunkai: Children? I'm asking you to go shopping with him, not letting him go shopping with you.

Wang Ju made a wave of his hand and was silent.

Yan Yunkai pulled the screen of his mobile phone twice, thinking that there must be a lot of inside information about the incident in the Republic of China, as for whether Zhao Thief was involved, he was not in a hurry to ask about it.

I guess I can't ask anything, that guy doesn't remember everything, and he doesn't know many things.

He clicked on the photo again, and saw Zhao Thief's unhappy and angry face, and always felt that no expression was an expression, and being pulled to the amusement park by a bear child should be very loveless.

Speaking of which, Zhao Thief and Wang Ju were so harmonious, it surprised him.

Yan Yun laughed and sent another message to Wang Jie: Have fun, remember to invite him to dinner at night.
