Chapter 13: Friends
Qi Ran left Aunt Qin's house with a somewhat heavy heart.
At the door, Xiaomei was happily riding on Su Ze's neck, her two little hands raised high, grabbing and grabbing in the sky, as if she wanted to grab higher, and her mouth was full of laughter.
Seeing Qi Ran come out, Su Ze smiled and said, "Take something, it's been so long, let's go quickly." ”
"Hurry up~Hurry up~" Xiaomei's arms like white lotus roots kept waving, like a happy bird.
Qi Ran silently followed behind the two, wanting to ask something but not knowing how to speak.
It didn't take long for the three of them to come to a small restaurant, which was better than the Sorrow Tavern in Bronze Town, but compared to the one in Moon City, it could only be regarded as backward.
However, Xiaomei's face was full of excitement, and it was obvious that she was already very content.
After Qi Ran came out of Aunt Qin's house, he had been a little absent-minded, but soon, he was infected by the laughter of the brothers and sisters again, and he smiled again.
Looking at Xiaomei, who is both cute and sensible, Qi Ran buried what he wanted to say in his heart, and it was better to ask again when Xiaomei was not there.
Remembering that on the way to Moon City, Su Ze thought about giving him some of his bounty when the two were not familiar with him, so that he would not join the Grim Reaper Gate.
Qi Ran secretly decided in his heart that he must find a way to help the brother and sister cure their illness and do their best.
Because Xiaomei was there, Qi Ran and Su Ze didn't ask for wine, even so, the three of them ate very happily.
Especially Xiaomei, who had a greasy face after eating, patted her little belly after eating, and looked satisfied, and on the way back, she fell asleep in Su Ze's arms not long after.
Along the way, Su Ze carefully hugged her, and when she got home, it was completely dark.
Gently put Xiaomei on the bed, Su Ze came to the living room lightly, and immediately saw Qi Ran sitting there.
"Sit. Qi Ran is colorful.
Su Ze was slightly surprised, is this my home?
Although he thought so, he still sat down obediently, "It's not early, I've been on the road for two days, let's rest early." ”
As if he hadn't heard him speak, Qi Ran turned his head to look at him and asked, "How long have you been joining the Death Gate?"
"I've been half a year, what's wrong?" Looking at Qi Ran, who suddenly became unsmiling, Su Ze was a little puzzled.
"Half a year away, what are you going to do in Bronze Town?"
"What half a year? I don't know what you're talking about, I went to Bronze Town to solve the mission goal. ”
Qi Ran continued to ask, "Then why did you come back?"
"The task was picked up and completed. ”
"Half a year away, you gave up?"
"What do you mean by giving up?" Su Ze was even more puzzled.
Qi Ran moved his gaze to the gate and asked, "You should have calculated the time when you joined the Death Gate, one year, and you will die in a year." ”
"What?" Su Ze suddenly exclaimed, his voice unconsciously raised, and hurriedly returned to the room, looking at Xiaomei, who was sleeping, for fear of waking her up.
After returning to the living room again, Su Ze's expression was gloomy, "Aunt Qin told you that?"
"Yes. ”
"Don't worry, after I leave, you can just ask Aunt Qin to get the money, and I will tell her. ”
Qi Ran got up slowly, walked to the door, looked up at the stars in the night sky with flickering eyes, and only the appearance of there was the same as in his hometown, muttering to himself.
"I don't know how many people are watching this beautiful night sky with me. Among those people, are there people I miss? Among those bright stars, is there one of my hometown? ”
After a long time, Qi Ran's thoughts drifted back and he muttered, "Take me to the Death Gate stronghold." ”
Su Ze came back to his senses suddenly, and he could feel and empathize with the loneliness that Qi Ran exuded just now.
But hearing what Qi Ran said again, Su Ze suddenly got up, pulled Qi Ran out of the house, and didn't stop until he walked a certain distance.
Immediately, Su Ze turned around abruptly and scolded Qi Ran loudly: "Didn't I say it all, the bounty will be shared with you, isn't it good to live?"
"Then why don't you live well?" Qi Ran asked rhetorically.
Su Ze's face froze, and after hesitating for a moment, he shouted loudly, as if he was a little hysterical: "Do you think I don't want to live? I want to live more than anyone else, I want to live more than anyone else, what should I do if I die? I at least have her, but what about after I'm gone? So I want to live more than anyone else, understand?"
Suddenly, Qi Ran put his arm on Su Ze's shoulder and said with a smile: "You, it's really miserable, but isn't there still half a year?" You also said that you want to live more than anyone else, not only for yourself, but also for Xiaomei, so you can't give up."
From today on, we are friends, and we all say that there is power in numbers, although ...... Although there are only two of us, it is better than one, and the miracle may be around you. ”
Friend?
When he was a child, all the children didn't play with him, and at that time he didn't understand why, and even felt that it was his own problem.
It wasn't until Aunt Qin told him the truth that from then on, he decided that he no longer needed friends, who were both eager and afraid of him.
Looking at Qi Ran's silhouette in the moonlight, Su Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, "You know my business, and you are still willing to be friends with me?"
Qi Ran pursed his lips and said indifferently: "What's the matter, as for it." How's it going, aren't you excited to hear that I'm friends with you?"
"I don't want to be friends with you. Su Ze retorted.
"Damn!" Qi Ran jumped to his feet directly, "You still don't want to?" You have to speak with your conscience, I'm so jade, graceful, handsome and chic, loved by everyone, and flowers blooming, are you still unwilling?"
Suddenly, Su Ze was amused by Qi Ran's words, he didn't expect him to have such a cute side, and the atmosphere between the two no longer seemed so heavy.
Su Ze smiled: "It's not impossible, as long as you promise me one thing." ”
"Don't join the Grim Reaper's Gate?" replied Qi Ran without thinking.
"Yes. ”
"I understand that you have good intentions, but you are a little worried, you should think that I am in the same Xuan Body Realm as you, right?"
After hearing this, Su Ze blurted out, "Isn't it?"
As soon as the words fell, he stayed in place, looking at Qi Ran in shock.
Just now, Qi Ran released the Xuan Realm in his body.
"Are you in the Xuantu Realm?" Su Ze exclaimed.
Qi Ran looked at Su Ze proudly, "Otherwise, do you think that I am like you, and I joined the Death Gate to send death? ”
In this way, Su Ze didn't say anything anymore, "Okay then, we can be friends." ”
"I'll ......" Qi Ran put his arm on Su Ze's shoulder again, "You seem to be reluctant to say it, you know, you can take a big advantage, a big advantage." ”
"For me to take advantage of you, let's go have a drink?" Su Ze laughed.
He was really happy, happy to have made Qi Ran a friend.
"Get up, don't get drunk, don't go home. ”
"If you don't get drunk, you don't go home. ”
