In the blink of an eye, school has started. A lot happened during the time An Qing was away.

Xiao Min did tell his parents about his pregnancy, not to mention the follow-up troubles, Qi Kai was almost crazy by this, and they thought that Xiao Min couldn't think about it and committed suicide. But there is no conclusive evidence to prove it, so it can only be stopped, but every once in a while, her parents and a group of relatives still go to Qi Kai's house to theorize right and wrong. During this time, Ayako was always by his side, and in Ayako's words, "Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped." He naturally knew that Ayako also wanted to be funny, so he asked him not to think too much. It's good to start school, get in touch with new people and things, and naturally forget about the past. Now, the former Gang of Four is only the two of them.

Remember that a few days after that incident, the searchers only confirmed the body of one person, Xiao Min. But An Qing didn't have any news, and it was true that there were street cameras that captured the whereabouts of the two of them at that time. But An Qing disappeared like this. Ayako never told Qi Kai that she had met An Qing in the end. Because he has been overwhelmed by Shinomin's affairs, Ayako doesn't want him to be unable to settle down and go to school.

At Shinyi Bank, after Ayako has withdrawn her living expenses. only to find that the bank card in the wallet was almost forgotten, An Qing entrusted her to do it before, saying that she would help keep it until the day she left, and said that she hoped it would come in handy. At that time, she felt very strange, why did she use her ID card to apply for a bank card, and said it like a last word. Since it's a girlfriend, naturally I don't ask much, just help if I can.

“WhattheFK!?” Ayako's eyes widened. After Ayako finished checking it, she found that it was eight figures! She looked around, like a thief, and quickly took the card out.

"What's wrong with you?" Her roommate, whom she had just met, asked.

"Nothing, hehe." Ayako pretended to be nonchalant.

Although I heard An Qing say that she got an inheritance, this is too exaggerated! An Qing trusts herself so much, and she must also trust her. Ayako thought about it and made sure to do something "big things" that An Qing would also agree with, but she didn't have a clue yet. That's it for now.

"Why are you so dead?" The roommate asked.

"Huh? It's nothing. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat. As he spoke, he caught up with his roommate in front of him.

This may be An Qing's first time going far away, from the northeast to the southwest, although it has only been nearly a month. But An Qing felt like centuries had passed. came here because Zishen later told her that there is a place called Yi Town in Chaocun City in the southwest. The answer will be found there. She didn't know why she trusted such a person so much, and what she did was just intuition. An Qing didn't ask much about him. Sometimes I feel that knowing more only adds to my troubles, and now, that is not the most urgent thing for me. An Qing was not in a hurry along the way, wanting to experience some more things by the way. It is true that she has encountered all kinds of things along the way, but since then, no resentful spirit has ever looked for her again. Although she has been working hard to cultivate, it seems that she has encountered a bottleneck. She also wanted to find the man named Xiang Lei for a while, but compared to what she had to do now, finding him was not a very important thing for An Qing. She could always sense his whereabouts occasionally, and she naturally understood that there was something strange about this matter, but she always felt ......

"Kill the town? Haven't heard of it. A woman looked up and wiped her sweat, then lowered her head and went back to work.

I don't know, An Qing has asked several people here, and no one has ever heard of this place. When I inquired in the city before, I finally asked about this place, Liangzhen. Now the clue is broken again. An Qing sighed deeply, the dryness and heat of the end of summer made An Qing, who was already a little discouraged, even more depressed.

"Little girl?" After she heard An Qing's sigh, she put down the work in her hand, "I heard that there seems to be a person on the side of Beishan who is quite accurate in divination, if you believe it, go and ask him, maybe you know." As she spoke, she pointed in the right direction.

"Thank you! Thank you! An Qing felt as if she had found some clues, and hurriedly thanked her.

But as soon as she turned to walk in that direction, the woman's uncaring voice came from behind her: "I don't believe it anyway." An Qing suddenly felt speechless. But now it seems that no possibility can be let go.

Asking along the way, An Qing finally found this place located at the foot of Beishan Mountain. This was already the northernmost part of the town, and from her observations along the way, she noticed that the vegetation in the vicinity was obviously unusually lush, and it was very eye-catching. There is only this one family around. In fact, it is not so much a single family, but a few families next to it have moved away, and you can tell from their overgrown yards that have not been cleaned for a long time. In the questioning of others just now, An Qing could clearly feel their disgust and fear of this place. Indeed, this place feels very eerie to An Qing, and when you walk into this area, you can be overwhelmed by rampant weeds. Not to mention these towering trees, which are too tall to reach the top. There is a sense of being buried and devoured by nature.

"Hello! Anyone? An Qing knocked on the door with the knocker.

After not seeing anyone respond for a long time, An Qing looked in through the gap in the fence, and there was no one at all.

"I'm sorry!" With that, An Qing climbed the fence and deftly climbed over. After landing on the ground, she got up and lowered her head and patted the ash on her hands, not noticing that an old man was already standing in front of her at this time.

"Huh??" An Qing was obviously taken aback, she didn't notice it at all.

"What? Scares you? The old man smiled kindly.

"I didn't ...... No. An Qing's expression stiffened, how uncomfortable it was. It felt awkward.

"Come in." The old man walked towards the room with his hands behind his back. An Qing looked stunned, feeling as if he knew about her arrival.

"Just leave the bag there." The old man pointed in the direction.

An Qing also felt a little tired, and her left shoulder was a little sore, so she put the bag down. "You...... Know me? An Qing asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course not. What are you looking for me? Go ahead. The old man sat on the rocking chair, looked at An Qing who was standing next to him, and continued, "Don't be so restrained, you can sit." ”

"I just want to inquire about something, and I will leave after asking, and I will not sit down." An Qing was a little anxious.

"Huh? You kid, just sit down, what's polite? As soon as the words fell, a stool moved directly behind An Qing out of thin air. rubbed directly into An Qing's popliteal fossa, and she "fell" on the stool.

An Qing was shocked, and moved in the state of the body chain? And it's also borrowing things and people, although the degree is very light, but he has a good grasp of the details. She still couldn't believe it, was this a miracle? It was completely different from what she had been exposed to before. She stood up suddenly, and suddenly became extremely vigilant, "Who are you!" ”

"Look at you! Young people just can't hold their breath. The old man rubbed his temples, "You can just call me Lao Wang." He squinted his eyes again and whispered, "This can still make me look younger." ”

"What did you say?" An Qing forbade her nose, indicating that she didn't hear too clearly.

"Nothing." The old man began to laugh.

This person was like an old naughty boy, An Qing drooped her eyelids, and she was really a little impatient, "Who are you?" Did you know that there is a place called the town of Yi? Why do you feel so strange around here? Can you predict? You will ......" An Qing said almost all the questions she wanted to ask.

"Stop, stop, stop, ......stop, why are there so many problems." Lao Wang hurriedly interrupted her, "It doesn't matter who I am, I can help you find the town." ”

"Where?" An Qing's eyes lit up.

The old man did not rush to answer her, but asked her to follow him into the courtyard, and he pointed to it and said, "It's on top of this." ”

An Qing looked at the direction that Lao Wang was pointing, the top of the tree? Although the surrounding trees are also unusually tall, only the tree in the yard is really not tall.

"Are you kidding?" An Qing squinted her eyes and looked carefully at the net, and most of it was submerged in the clouds. It's unbelievably high. An Qing couldn't hold back a little, and wanted to change the chain and fly up. But just when she wanted to change the chain, she felt that she couldn't change it.

"What?!" An Qing cried out in surprise.

"If you want to go up, you must maintain the coexistence of the soul chain and the body chain in your heart at the same time, rather than a single change of chains. That is, the state of the community climbs up. He touched his beard and continued, "Take your hands out." ”

"What for?" An Qing had some doubts, but still stretched out.

Lao Wang grabbed her index finger and blew it gently, and suddenly a white opening was revealed, "You are quite lucky, you were really bitten by the hidden beast." ”

An Qing hurriedly withdrew her hand and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Don't you remember being bitten by something? This creature is very rare, and if it bites only those it is interested in, it will disappear, or die, so to speak. Although he felt this way, he was sure when he saw the mark.

"Don't think about it, you can't read my memory." An Qing's uneasiness was suddenly shattered by him, she was indeed beneficial just now and wanted to exchange memory fragments by touching.

An Qing didn't expect her trick to be recognized, so she pretended to look at him calmly and asked, "Is this ...... What does that mean? ”

The old man turned his back and walked around beside An Qing, "Each stranger has only one soul companion, that is, the silver leopard who saved you before, and everyone's soul companion form is different. The deviant has no soul companion, and if the alien does not have the opportunity to get its blood, he can only be rescued once in his life. ”

An Qing thought thoughtfully, "Do you know how to find ...... Soul companions? ”

"It depends on whether you have the ability to go up." He said with a disdainful laugh.

"Cut." An Qing didn't ask any more. Since you can't change the chain and fly up, you can only climb up. She looked up and began to climb up.

I don't know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, and the purple glow of the sunset sprinkled all over the woods, like a fairyland. An Qing was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and this was the second time she had fallen from above. When she climbed for the first time, she completely forgot to think about the question of what if she fell halfway. At that time, An Qing had already climbed very high, at least seven stories high. She stood on the fork of the big tree, leaning against the trunk of the tree, panting, caressing her hand lightly, calming her heartbeat, slowly closing her eyes, wanting to recuperate before continuing to climb.

"Hey—" Lao Wang shouted vigorously below, "Hey! Hurry up and climb. ”

An Qing's energy that had just rested was instantly lost when he shouted in his voice, and An Qing was so angry that her scalp was itching. She doesn't know how to climb up yet? That's just a two-minute break.

An Qing held the trunk of the tree with her right hand, looked down and shouted, "Can you be quiet!" Just then, there was a sudden slip under her feet. Under the imbalance, An Qing's body swayed sharply back and forth, and she struggled to find a balance in this back and forth. Unfortunately, it backfired, and she leaned back, "Uhh

In the air, she tried to change the soul chain and change to the soul state, but she couldn't change it. That's when she remembered this crucial question. An Qing gritted her teeth and thought, "This is miserable." "I was about to hit a big branch in front of me. She struggled to make her body form an arch. Although this can reduce the impact to a large extent, the impact force is still quite large, at this moment, she endured the sharp pain of the collision, with the help of this force with both hands to hook hard, directly climbed the branch, fell on one knee, and maintained her balance very steadily.

All this, he saw it all in his eyes. It's a pity that this branch is not strong enough, An Qing couldn't dodge it, and it fell again.

Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, An Qing suddenly stopped in the air and was able to cushion, and then landed safely on her feet. An Qing was very surprised, as far as she knew, since she couldn't change her soul state near this tree, it meant that she couldn't activate the divine movement. This confirmed her thoughts even more, and she was in the house just now. Besides, he did it in a human condition, that is, when the body chain also existed? Is this what he calls the community?

"I think it's better to forget it, if it goes on like this, a few lives won't be enough." He said disdainfully.

"Please teach me how to work together!" An Qing pleaded eagerly.

"Yes." He smiled and added, "But you'll have to give me a kneeling salute." ”

An Qing didn't even think about it, she turned around and climbed again.

"This kid has a very hard backbone! Then whatever you want. He said pretending to be angry.

Lao Wang was leisurely drinking herbal tea in the pavilion in the courtyard, and before he knew it, a pot had bottomed out. After a while, he looked at the sinking sun and stood up.

"Well, it's almost time." Saying that, he caught An Qing again. An Qing was so tired that she knelt on the ground, supporting her body with her hands, sweating profusely.

"Why, don't you give up yet?" He looked down at An Qing.

"No...... Don't ......" An Qing was out of breath.

"Speaking of which, the things from your 'friend' are almost here." With that, the old king walked to the door.

"I ...... My friend? An Qing struggled to her feet.

"Huh? The one named Zishen, and the girl, you met on the train before. As he spoke, he walked toward the courtyard gate.

"You, you actually read my memory." An Qing was very angry. Besides, they weren't An Qing's friends at all.

"Don't you want to peek at my memories too? It's just that you can't see my memories. He looked back.

"Why?" An Qing walked over to him.

Lao Wang didn't answer her question, "Hey, it's really timely." As soon as he opened the door, a small gray snake rushed in, and crawled to An Qing's feet in a flash.

"Ahh An Qing was so frightened by the sudden "thing" that she staggered back a few steps. This thing was sent by Zishen? She felt very puzzled, after all, she was also very puzzled about the purpose of Zishen and that girl.

"Afraid of what?" With that, he closed the door again and walked back. He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't let this thing in, it would be impossible for it to break through. He had expected all this, but then it was up to An Qing.

"Are you ready?" The old man crossed his hands over his chest, and his face suddenly became serious.

"What?" Before An Qing could react, the snake rushed at An Qing's ankle and bit it violently. It hurt so much that she immediately kicked it out.

Suddenly, I saw that the snake's body was expanding rapidly as if something was about to explode, becoming bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and seeing that it was about to explode, An Qing quickly rolled to the side and dodged. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the "snake" exploded, and blood and flesh were splashed everywhere.

In an instant, the air was filled with a blood mist, making it difficult for An Qing to see the surrounding situation, and at the same time, a smell of blood hit An Qing. An Qing subconsciously covered her mouth and nose.

The fog gradually dissipated, and at this moment, An Qing was startled, and faintly, she saw a behemoth appear in front of her.

"What??" This is simply too exaggerated, An Qing was dumbfounded.

"Oh?" The current situation was also beyond his expectations, and to his surprise, he didn't expect this pseudo-soul companion who had stuck to An Qing's blood to grow so hugely. And its eyes seemed to only have An Qing, the snake's body was bulging, and its eyes were tightly locked on An Qing's every subtle movement.

An Qing could clearly feel its hostility, and this sense of oppression made her dare not act rashly. His feet seemed to be fixed to the ground, and his hands were frozen in the air, not daring to move rashly.

"You have to do both at the same time to make it work!" From behind the gray snake came the shouts of the old king.

"What?" This also needs to be said by him, An Qing naturally understands that he has to take care of two aspects at the same time. It's much easier to say than to do. When she opened the chain before, she had broken open one end of her heart, no longer afraid of death, and was truly relieved of a fearless thought, so that the heart and soul could be connected. And what about the other end? A pole of love?

"Uh-" Just as An Qing was distracted, it grabbed the gap, and the snake shook its body violently. Knocking An Qing away, she actually flew out of the yard! He fell heavily into the grass outside. An Qing herself was very tired, and with this heavy blow, her eyes suddenly turned black and she was unconscious.

I don't know how long it took, An Qing vaguely felt that someone was calling her.

"An Qing! Feed! Wake up! A worried voice swirled in my ears.

"Hmm-" An Qing gradually opened her eyes. The blue sky and white clouds come into view. The sun under the clouds is sometimes overcast and dark, and the mood is so comfortable. At the same time, a girl was looking at her worriedly.

"You've been asleep for a while, and you thought you were 'gone'." She put her hands on her chest and closed her eyes slightly, relieved with relief.

Yu ...... Yu Xin? An Qing sat up suddenly. Everything around is so "clean", with clean grass underneath, clean river next to it, and clean nature in your ears.

"You...... How did you get back? When did you come back? An Qing asked in surprise.

On the grass, Yu Xin, who was sitting opposite An Qing, said with a smile: "When did I leave, I talked nonsense." I see you, you still haven't woken up, so lie on my lap and sleep for a while. With that, she gently pulled An Qing over.

"Maybe, but I'm really sleepy." An Qing thought to herself. He lay down, and after a while, An Qing, who was tired, fell asleep.

First.

Bell Bell Bell –

"Hey! It's finally time for school. Before the teacher could leave, Durin shouted. As a result, the words were heard by the teacher, and the teacher glared at him disapprovingly before leaving.

"What!" Duhrin pretended to rebel and stood up and rolled up his sleeves.

"Alright, you kid." Tsubasa laughed beside him.

"Why do you say that, do you say, Hao Xin?" Durin sat down, and his elbow touched her slightly.

"Sick!" Hao Xin didn't even look at him, and then packed up his things.

"Well, it's like this at the same table? Anyway, I'm also a handsome guy. Durin complained, turned his head to look at her again, and said, "When are you going to be my girlfriend?" ”

Hao Xin sighed, rolled her eyes, shook her head, and continued to pack her things.

"An Qing?" Tsubasa walked over to An Qing's side. Scratching his head, he pretended to be big and said, "I said, let's go together in a while." ”

An Qing put down the things in her hand, grinned, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Ah Yi, I have to go to my uncle's house to work in a while." ”

"Ahh Hey, Study Commissioner. Why do you always refuse our young master. Du Lin turned his head to look at An Qing and said.

"Do you think An Qing is idle like you? The eldest young master of a rich family. With that, Hao Xin picked up her schoolbag, walked over to An Qing, took her hand and left.

"Then I'll go first. Good bye. An Qing turned her head and waved her hand, and Wing smiled awkwardly in place. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were left in the classroom.

"This guy, can't you see that you like her?" Durin folded his hands behind the back of his neck, stretching his waist.

"Eventful!" Tsubasa grabbed his bag and left.

"Huh? Wait for me, I've got to lock the classroom! Durin scrambled and shouted loudly in the back.

Unconsciously, An Qing and Hao Xin had already arrived at the fork in the road.

"Then I'll turn around An Qing over there, and I'll see you tomorrow." Hao Xin waved his hand, and then turned to the other side of the alley.

"Hmmm! See you tomorrow. After the two separated, An Qing slowed down slightly. I still remember when I first joined the school team, Tsubasa always put on a stinky face, and I always felt that it was unapproachable, and I was recognized by my classmates as a cold example. At that time, An Qing didn't think much about it, she just wanted to relax and relax by playing volleyball. Later, I heard from others that Tsubasa is a well-known young master, with a lot of money and a little rebellious, and this is the image of a cool brother in the eyes of other little girls, for this reason, he can always receive love letters. But he threw it in the trash in front of him, which also caused a lot of drama, and no one did such a thing anymore to make it boring.

However, after that little incident, An Qing and Yi turned out to be good friends. In Durin's words, it was, "What the hell??! "That day, in the indoor mixed match of the volleyball team, An Qing missed for a while, and when she jumped up and smashed the ball, she suddenly hit Tsubasa's face. After she landed, she turned around and met the fierce eyes of the winged god, and An Qing didn't know what to do at that time, so she just said, "I'm sorry." Then he looked at him and laughed stiffly, because Tsubasa really couldn't make a normal polite smile in his eyes. At first, Tsubasa didn't let go of his expression, but then, Tsubasa pursed his lips, smiled, and used his hand to fool An Qing's short hair. It's like nothing happened.

"Give me some money, please." A girl's voice pulled An Qing out of her thoughts.

"Huh?" An Qing looked at the white paper written at her feet: "Please help me, my parents abandoned me, I want some money to find distant relatives." 500 yuan, borrowed must be repaid. Please leave your contact details. The people next to him hurriedly walked by, and some people said dissatisfiedly: "It's a liar again." ”

She saw that An Qing had some attention, so she looked at An Qing and said, "Please help me, friend." I'll definitely give it back to you. Looking at her eager eyes, she was not even older than her. An Qing couldn't bear it and gritted her teeth......

During the lunch break the next day, Hao Xin and An Qing did not go home, ate in the cafeteria, and went back to the classroom to chat.

"What? Silly girl! You're not really going to give her money, are you? Hao Xin almost got up on the case.

"Hmm." An Qing was taken aback by Hao Xin.

"You've been deceived. You should take care of yourself more, and your condition is not very good. Hao Xin shook his head and sighed.

"I know, but how? I gave her a contact number. An Qing didn't believe it.

"You! Definitely scammed. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. Hao Xin looked at her indignantly, and then said, "Alas, why do you always do this." Is. ”

An Qing didn't speak, and she didn't know what was wrong. In a daze, I took the money from her, which was her food expenses for nearly a month. But she looked at the anxious look of the girl named Yu Xin, and really wanted to help her. Even now, An Qing is still sure that she didn't trust the wrong person.

In the evening, An Qing had just finished eating. The phone rang at home.

"Hello?"

"An Qing? I am Yu Xin. Where are you? I'll give you back the money now. ”

"Didn't you come home?" An Qing was a little puzzled.

"My report to the Public Security Bureau has been confirmed, and I have now found the contact information of my parents. They gave me some help. Now I can pay you back. Yu Xin couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.

"Really? That's great. That...... Then you can wait for me at Panlu. An Qing replied.

"Okay. Hurry up. Otherwise, it will be dark in a while. Yu replied with concern.

"Hmm." With that, An Qing went out.

Panlu is actually not too far from An Qing's house, and it won't take long to arrive. Before An Qing could reach the place, she saw Yu Xin waving enthusiastically.

"Come, take it! Six hundred for you. The hundred is my gratitude to you, because no one believes in me at all, only you lend a helping hand. Now, though, it's okay. Yu Xin said happily.

"Huh? No need, you need money more than I do now, so I'll pay you back this hundred. An Qing handed it over with a smile.

“…… Then you're welcome. As he spoke, Yu Xin took it again embarrassedly.

"Can I go to your house and sit down, I want to talk to you more. I'm going to my parents soon. Yu Xin waved his hand again, "Forget it, my uncle and aunt are all at home." Blame the trouble. ”

"It's okay, it's just me, they ...... Absence. An Qing said with a smile.

"Ha, that's great. We can stop by and buy some snacks and go back to eat and chat. Yu Xin said excitedly.

"Well, let's go." An Qing nodded.

Some things do seem fake. It is difficult to tell whether a person is good or bad, and perhaps there is no fundamental definition of good and bad. I want to see clearly, but I can't see more and more clearly. It's not that it's too simple, it's too stupid, it's just that the world has long been corroded. What's the point of being more disadvantaged than being able to do so? As everyone knows, when Yu Xin entered her house, her eyes immediately became relaxed at that second, and her smile changed. She's already a veteran, and the family has been doing this kind of thing. From experience, she can see from a person's eyes how much room for trust development and what the bottom line is. And she, how could she let An Qing go? When she looked around at the house, she knew she was living alone.

"An Qing, your house is really clean." Yu Xinyan couldn't help but say. An Qing looked at her and smiled.

"By the way, can I use the phone, I want to call my parents and tell them when I'm going to go?" As if he had suddenly thought of it, Yu Xin turned around and asked.

"Yes, the phone is there." As she spoke, An Qing pointed to the place.

"Okay! Thank you so much! Yu Xin put his hands together to express his gratitude. Then he hurried over.

After a few simple words, Yu Xin hung up the phone. smiled and took An Qing's hand and sat down, and the two chatted in the living room. The last time Hao Xin came to her house was two weeks ago, and it was a long time since no one laughed at home like her, and An Qing felt very relaxed.
