"This man is Zhang Sengqiu, are you sure?" Yan Yunkai raised his eyebrows in surprise and leaned over slightly so that he could clearly see the half of the side face in the photo.

The black-and-white photo is not very clear, and in the photo, Zhang Shengqian stands in the crowd, tilting his head slightly, as if sensing the presence of the lens. Zhang Seng Miao looks very ordinary, wearing a peaked cap and wearing Western-style casual clothes, his face is very warm, but when his head is lowered and he comes sideways, he looks guarded, giving people a strong sense of disobedience.

It's not the first time Yan Yunkai has entered the utility room, and naturally it's not the first time he's seen this photo. He had never cared about such a character before, only that this person was a passerby who inadvertently broke into Grandpa's lens, but when Zhao Thief said this, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the person in this photo was extraordinary.

"I wouldn't fail to recognize him." Zhao Pijia lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Seng Miao in the photo.

Yan Yunkai maintained a leaning posture, turned his head, and glanced at Zhao Thief from the bottom to the top, obliquely, and found that he was not happy or angry, but his eyes were gloomy, I don't know what he was thinking, Yan Yunkai couldn't help but coax: "It's so powerful, can you still kill each other?" ”

Zhao Thief moved his gaze to Yan Yunkai's side face, glanced at him fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense." He tossed the rag in his hand far away, threw it into the bucket, splashed the muddy water, walked over and looked at the bucket, "I'll go change the bucket of water." ”

Yan Yunkai smiled slightly, threw the dirty rag in his hand over, and said, "Hard work." ”

Zhao took the bucket out, Yan Yunkai frowned, lowered his eyelashes, looked indifferently at the photo pressed under the glass, took out his mobile phone and took a picture, but the glass was reflective, and the shooting effect was not very good, he thought about it, and still pulled out the photo.

There was a scanner in the study where his father Yan Qing worked, Yan Yunkai carefully took the corner of the photo, went to the study to scan the photo, and then sent it to a public mailbox in the sixth group, and instructed the team members in the unit to take 1939 as the center to find the information related to the man in the photo between the two years before and after.

In this photo, Zhang Shengqian only showed half of his face, and he couldn't go on the intranet for face recognition, and Yan Yunkai didn't think that this man would honestly register his household registration. According to Zhao Thief's previous statement, Zhang Sengqian used some means to control another white dragon when he drew the dragon, so Wang Ji met the young man who was suspected of being another white dragon twice, could it be deliberately arranged by Zhang Sengqiu?

Yan Yunkai thought about it, subconsciously bent his fingers and rubbed his lips with his joints, and then remembered that he had just done hygiene and didn't wash his hands, so he immediately gritted his teeth in disgust and rushed to the bathroom to wash his hands and mouth.

He wiped his lips repeatedly until they turned red, then he reluctantly stopped and pulled out a tube of lip balm to apply.

Yan Yunkai pursed his lips, went back to the study to take the photo, and pressed it back under the glass of the old desk in the utility room. Zhao Thief Machine came back from changing the water early, and when he saw his movements, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and guessed that he would not stand idly by.

"You don't have to help me." Zhao said.

Yan Yunkai raised the corners of his lips, showed a polite and restrained smile, and replied very seriously: "No, this is within the scope of my work, and I have the responsibility to pay attention to their dynamics." ”

Zhao Thief seemed to have no choice with Yan Yunkai in this state, and glanced at him disapprovingly, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

"Besides," Yan Yunkai spread his hands elegantly, his expression becoming more casual, "I want to help you, do you still need a reason?" ”

Zhao looked at him and said calmly: "There will be a reason to do anything." ”

Yan Yunkai smiled in his eyes and said, "Okay, if you have to say it, I like you a lot, is this reason enough?" Don't ask me why I like you. ”

"Why can't you ask?" Zhao didn't understand.

Yan Yunkai shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying a word. Wang Di pushed the door in, waved the mobile phone in his hand, the mobile phone screen showed the mailbox interface, and the child suppressed his voice and said: "Yan Yunkai, the man you asked us to check is Zhang Sengqiu, right?" ”

"Your Uncle Zhao said yes." Yan Yunkai said, "What's the matter? ”

"Oh...... just feels familiar, and the great monk who came to the palace to lecture during the Kangxi period should be him. Wang Ju said, "He had some skills at that time, and after Emperor Kangxi met him, he kept him in Beijing for a while." There is also a little novice with him, which seems to be the other white dragon that Uncle Zhao said. ”

Yan Yunkai still remembers what was mentioned in the list of people to be tracked submitted by Wang Ju: "The twenty-third year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zhao Thief looked indifferent, thought about it for a while, and said: "During the Kangxi Dynasty, I was in retreat and cultivating, but he never looked for me, and he didn't have it since. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, and I happened to be out of the customs, so he noticed his whereabouts. ”

"Then I don't know, I hiccups in the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi." Wang said.

Yan Yunkai applauded: "You can already talk about the tragic past in conversation and laughter." ”

Wang Ju smiled: "I still remember that I was weak when I was young, and the great monk secretly reminded me that if I wanted to live to adulthood, I could only take refuge in Buddhism, but in the end I didn't become a little monk." Alas, it is quite good to cultivate a dry body by chance. Cause and effect are not certain. ”

"Although Zhang Seng Miao has been a monk all the year round, he is not a Buddhist cultivator, he is proficient in Buddhism, and he is also proficient in the art of Xuanmen." Zhao said, "His cultivation is very high, but he has been unable to preach for a long time. ”

"Can't preach......" Yan Yunkai thought thoughtfully, "Is there something wrong with his psychology?" ”

"Xiao Wangcai, where is it? Why don't you come and bake cookies with grandma? Ms. You Daidai's voice approached, and everyone in the utility room tacitly stopped talking, Yan Yunkai twisted a rag and wiped the sewing machine again.

Ms. You stood at the door, saw the scene inside, and said "oh yo" in disgust, "It's been so long, and you haven't started mopping the floor yet?" What are the two of them doing in there? ”

"Hey, your son and I are also the second generation of idle and rich people, and we are not professional cleaning personnel." Yan Yunkai replied casually.

Zhao was silent and buried himself in his work.

Wang Ju patted the non-existent dust on his pants casually, and said with a smile: "I'll take a look at how they are doing hygiene, Yan Yunkai is good or bad, standing aside without making a move, he knows that he bullied our Uncle Zhao." ”

Yan Yunkai: "......"

Zhao Thief listened to his nonsense and was too lazy to talk. This silent appearance looks in Ms. You's eyes, it is a tacit acquiescence, it is that she is bullied and does not dare to speak up, and it is the grievance and forbearance after being neglected when she is a guest!

"Yan Yunkai, how can you let a guest do such a thing?" Ms. You was displeased.

Yan Yunkai was very innocent: "He had to come to help." As he spoke, he touched Zhao's elbow on the machine.

Zhao Thief, who had to come to help, was stunned and explained lamely: "...... It's okay, get used to it. ”

"Get used to it!" Ms. You was surprised, "You're still used to it?" ”

Yan Yunkai couldn't cry or laugh: "Mom, you and Xiao Wangcai can bake cookies, don't stay here." ”

Zhao Thief nodded, there was no reluctance on her face, Ms. You had to sigh that Xiao Zhao was really hardworking, persuaded Yan Yunkai to cherish Yunyun, and pulled Wang Zhi away.

"Hey." Yan Yunkai looked at Zhao Thief, "My mother is like this, you have to take care of it." ”

"Well, it's fine." Zhao said.

Yan Yunkai said seriously: "My mother asked me to cherish you well, of course I have to listen to my parents, are you right?" ”

Zhao Theft: "......"

"So, what are your plans for this matter? Can you get me involved? Yan Yunkai smiled and sighed, his eyes revealing a bit of pleading, "After all, I found Zhang Sengqiu's figure in my grandfather's photo, I think there is probably some connection between my grandfather and Zhang Sengqiu." I know you don't want to mention this matter, maybe this matter hurts you a lot, but ......" he took Zhao Thief's hand and let it go, "If I don't figure it out for a day, I'll be uneasy for a day." I don't know what those seniors did, but if they did something wrong, I'm willing to make it up to you. ”

Zhao Thief's eyes rolled slightly, his gaze shifted away, and Yan Yunkai could see that he was hesitating.

"It's none of your business." Zhao said.

Yan Yunkai showed a hurt look for a moment, and shook his head with a wry smile: "You are always like this." ”

Zhao Piaoji was a little at a loss in his heart, he understood that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know how to explain it, so after a long time, he re-chose the words and made a sentence with difficulty: "No, I mean, you didn't do anything wrong, and you don't have to compensate me on behalf of others." ”

"I want to know the truth." Yan Yunkai said gently but firmly, "I want to feel what you have felt. ”

Zhao Piaoji pinched his eyebrows, and after a while, agreed: "I'll tell you." ”

That night, when arranging a room for the guests, Yan Yunkai took the initiative to let Zhao steal the machine to sleep in his bedroom, and Wang Ju also wanted to squeeze over, but he ruthlessly refused. Ms. You asked him if he wanted to build a floor, and Yan Yunkai refused.

The bed in the bedroom was a double bed, and after washing, Yan Yunkai sat on the edge of the bed and watched Zhao change his pajamas unscrupulously.

"It's been a long time since I've heard a bedtime story." Yan Yunkai said.

Zhao was at a loss.

Yan Yunkai was vigilant: "You yourself said that you want to tell me about your experience in the Republic of China, you won't bluff me, right?" ”

"It's not." Zhao Thief shook his head and asked, "After your family is asleep, I will set up an enchantment in this room." ”

Yan Yunkai became more vigilant, but his eyes were full of smiles: "Wow, you still have to set up an enchantment, do you want to take the opportunity to do anything to me?" I don't follow. ”

Zhao was speechless.

Yan Yun turned off the headlights on the ceiling, leaving only a small warm yellow lamp at the head of the bed, and the indoor light was dim, and he buried himself in the quilt to look at his mobile phone.

On the other side, Zhao sat on the edge of the bed with his back to him.

Late at night, it's quiet outside.

Yan Yunkai lifted the quilt and sat up, and asked, "It's almost, in the dead of night, you can talk quietly." ”

Zhao Thief Ji cast a spell and put an enchantment in this room, so as not to fluctuate too much in mana, so that the grandfather who was asleep in the next room would be aware of it. After doing this, he knelt on one knee beside the bed, lowered his head, and leaned towards Yan Yunkai.

"Are you going to kiss me?" Yan Yun asked.

Zhao was silent until their foreheads touched, his thin lips opened lightly, and he spat out a low dragon groan. Suddenly, the light in the place within the enchantment dimmed, Yan Yunkai subconsciously closed his eyes, and his ears seemed to hear the whistling wind, and gradually, there was a babbling play.

Yan Yunkai opened his eyes and took two steps back in shock.

It looked like a teahouse, and he stood on the second floor, looking down, the men were all wearing long shirts, some were wearing retro suits, some were wearing cheongsams, some were wearing Western-style skirts.

"Twenty-eight years of the Republic of China." Behind him, Zhao Thief took a step forward and looked down condescendingly, "That's it." ”
