Chapter Twenty-Three: Strange Memories

There are many sad things in life, and you can't judge which one will make people more devastated, because the pain caused by it cannot be measured which is deeper.

However, if the hometown you are most familiar with becomes a dangerous city of pursuit, or even an inexplicable place of death, this kind of thing is sad but extremely appropriate.

I silently untied the rope on Zhang Yihui's body, and then, as if they had a tacit understanding, the two of them left the room without saying a word.

Before, I could calmly descend the stairs side by side and walk up the street, but gradually, my steps couldn't help but get faster and faster.

When turning into another more remote alley, the two men began to run for their lives in unison.

But where are you going?

The scorching afternoon sun brought up a scorching wind, and as I ran, it was scorched into my lungs, bringing the anxiety in my heart that was about to burst.

Compared with my confusion and helplessness, Zhang Yihui had a clearer goal, and he yelled at me: "Follow me." โ€

At this time, there is nothing more trustworthy than a slightly familiar person, I followed Zhang Yihui in silence and ran wildly, and what was surprising was that he seemed to be more familiar with this city that could be called my hometown than I did.

Countless remote alleys, he ran without hesitation on the fork in the road, just like a familiar old man who has lived here for decades.

I just need to run after him with peace of mind.

Eventually, he took me to a remote corner of the city, where it seemed to be an office that had been demolished, but for some reason, it did not start, so it stood lonely and lonely in the city, like a forgotten store in the bustle.

The sound of our footsteps echoed through the stairwell, all the way up, until we reached the roof, when the two of us stopped out of breath.

"Here?" I had a thousand questions in my mind, and the most important thing was why it brought me to this rooftop? But the rapid expansion of my lungs made it impossible for me to breathe, let alone speak a sentence clearly.

Zhang Yihui didn't answer, just supported his knees with his hands, gasping for breath like me, sweat sliding from his forehead to the tip of his nose, and then from the tip of his nose to the ground, leaving a small wet spot.

After reezing like this for a long time, Zhang Yihui looked around.

There was a water pipe at the end of the open roof, and he ran over and tried to unscrew it, but there was still water flowing out with yellow-brown rust at first, and after flowing for a while, it became cool.

He beckoned to me, and then he fell under the faucet and drank it in a big gulp, after I saw it, I felt that my throat was about to smoke, and rushed over, and finally waited until Zhang Yihui had drunk enough, and also grabbed the faucet and drank it in a big gulp.

Then, the two of them washed their heads happily with tap water with a little bit of temperature, and the fatigue and heat caused by this fatal run were slightly relieved.

In such a summer, the afternoon sun does not become lazy, but it is less aggressively hot than in the afternoon.

After relieving my breath, Zhang Yihui and I both sat in the corner, where there was an extended roof, which could slightly shade the sun, I took out a cigarette from my trouser pocket, put it to my mouth, and handed the cigarette case to Zhang Yihui.

Instead, he pushed my hand away and said to me, "I'm too young to smoke." โ€

There are a lot of people who don't smoke, and generally it is very straightforward to say that they don't smoke, and occasionally some people will find one or two reasons, but I haven't seen any adults say that I am still young and can't smoke.

I glanced at Zhang Yihui strangely, he looked into the distance, it was a matter of course, the lines of the side face were indeed the outline of an adult man, I don't know if it was affected by his words, I always felt that there was some childishness on his face.

However, I didn't ask too many questions, I just lit a cigarette on my own, and when the paralyzing smoke was inhaled into my body, my whole body relaxed a little, and finally remembered the previous question: "Why did you bring me here?" Are you a local? Familiar with the city? โ€

"I don't know where I'm from." Zhang Yi wiped a handful of water from his head, and then looked at me, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down, and then said: "I was raised by many people, I have a very powerful godfather, where is he from, where am I from?" โ€

His tone was not very sure, but when he mentioned his godfather, there was an indescribable reverence in his tone.

I listened to such a simple sentence, like a very sad story, but I didn't know what to say to comfort the young man next to me, and not being able to express it has almost become my biggest problem.

He didn't seem to care too much, smiled and reached out to hand me a bag.

Before, when we were running for our lives, he had been carrying this bag.

"So, I'm not a local either. I'm not familiar with the city, I've just been here for more than two months, and I'm following the feeling when I bring you here. Where I feel safer, I run wherever I feel! It's the safest place in the city. โ€

I took the bag, and Zhang Yihui was explaining to me why he brought me here.

Originally, I took the bag and was about to open the zipper to see what was there Hearing Zhang Yihui's explanation, I stopped my movements suddenly, turned my head, and looked at him suspiciously.

I really can't accept a person who runs with his feelings, and then takes me to a remote place, I don't think Zhang Yihui has malicious intentions, I just think he may not know much about the situation, so I organized the language in my heart and said: "Xiao Zhang, I'll call you like this." โ€

"No, you tell me to go back. I feel good about you, and I feel like you're going to be like my godfather. He said to me with a smile.

I was stunned, I only had a one-sided relationship with him before, but he gave me the impression of a calm and handsome young man, and now when he talks to me like this, with such a smile, he looks like a childish child.

Thinking of him saying that he was still young, I felt a little dizzy, at least my eyes told me that he should be over 18 years old, right?

But how can I be so confused about this kind of thing? just retracted his thoughts, coughed, and said to him: "Okay, remember, I don't know what kind of person your godfather is." But I'm a very miserable person now, I think you've probably seen it, I was held hostage before, and you just sent me something, and I was kidnapped inexplicably, so here, for me, there is murder everywhere. What's even more unfortunate is that I still don't know what the people who are chasing me are for? Even"

Speaking of this, I rubbed my face in pain, took a big puff of cigarette, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look at your shot, you should also be a cultivator." So, I'll be blunt, I don't even know what the mastermind of my murder is? Isn't it human? โ€

"Naturally, there are people, and there are naturally new guys who are not people." I thought Zhang Yihui would be scared, but I didn't want him to say such a thing to me very calmly.

Startled, the cigarette in my mouth almost fell off, and he looked amused, and raised the corners of his mouth again, his eyes narrowing like a child.

I was embarrassed for a while, and I didn't know what kind of psychology it was, so I rubbed his head and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy." โ€

According to my character, it is not easy to be so close to a relatively strange person, and to make such an action, but there are some things that I can see clearly?

This kid seems to know a lot, but I don't have time to ask anything for the time being? Instead, he unzipped the bag he handed me and began to count it, I knew that this was what Hai Nian wanted Zhang Yi to hand over to me.

There is a small cloth bag inside, and when it is opened, it is a formation seal.

Then there was a box the size of a jewelry box, and inside was a bright red array seal, which was simply exciting in the sun, and it was my natal array seal.

Looking at these two things, my heart is a little more relieved.

In the days of Shanmen, the master often said how awesome our master was, but I really couldn't say how long I had been learning art, and I was kicked out of the master five years ago, and I was a half-hanged guy who couldn't even be counted.

To put it simply, it is that the art is not refined, and the way of the formation is broad and profound, thinking of this, I smiled bitterly.

Even if I've been learning art for a long time like Brother Zhengchuan, so what? The awesomeness of our division, without these formation seals, will not be reflected at all, unless the natal formation pattern is small! But before I was expelled from the division, I didn't have a natal formation of my own.

It's just that in my memory, on the top of the weird mountain on that night, an incomparably intricate bright red formation appeared on my body but, that

Thinking about it, I raised my arm and rubbed it a few times, how could there be any formations? But because of the wolf bรจi along the way, I rubbed some dirty mud down.

Zhang Yihui saw it, and I was laughing on the side again, I felt that there was such a guy by my side, and I felt a little more relieved, let him laugh, but I rummaged through other things in my bag.

Anything else important?
