"The voice," I followed as I looked, and at the foot of the steps by the side of the road, a little man in a turban bowed respectfully.

He said I called him, I didn't call him.

"Why are you here?" I asked him as I walked over and crouched down.

"Didn't you call me?" he said, looking up, his turban covering his face, revealing only his two eyes.

"I ...... Didn't call you?"

"That's the strong desire in your heart for me to appear, because I heard you say that it would be nice if Qingsu could come, so I came. ”

......"I did think so, but I didn't expect him to feel it this way, and I thought it was just a matter of calling out my name."

"Lord Ye Ke, have you encountered something?" asked Qingsu.

I didn't know how to speak, so Guan Qing came over and squatted down like me.

"He's here, isn't he? Guan Qing asked.

"His eyes ......" Qingsu walked up to Guan Qing and stretched out his hand to touch his face, "Lord Ye Ke, his eyes, and the person I'm looking for... It's exactly the same. ”

"His name is Guan Qing, and he is Chunshui's grandchild. I said.

"Ye Ke, what did he say?" Guan Qing asked me.

"He said, your eyes are very similar to your grandmother's. ”

"Lord Yak, are you... Found her. ”

"Hmm... I've already given her your letter, but—" I regret it at this moment, I always thought they would have a chance in the future, "I'm sorry, I should have insisted that you see each other again..."

"Lord Yek, you don't have to blame yourself. Qingsu shook her head and said, "It turns out that her name is Chunshui... What a nice name, she must have a reason not to want to see me, her choice is the best choice. ”

"That's... I can't see you, but can I ask you to see my grandma one last time. Guan Qing said suddenly, because he couldn't see the monster, he was like talking to the air.

Qingsu glanced at Guan Qing, and then looked at me, "Master Ye Ke, this is..."

"The old lady's days may not be much. "I've already made them miss a chance, and I can't afford to miss it again," so please, go meet her. ”

Qingsu just looked at me quietly, it slowly took off its headscarf, revealing a face that I had never seen, it was a very human-like face, very beautiful.

"Let's go, Lord Yek. ”

Back at the hospital again, Guan Qing's father didn't ask us why we came back, he told us that the old lady had woken up, but couldn't move, and couldn't speak, seeing that we insisted on staying to replace him, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

"I'm sorry, but the doctor won't be able to visit us right now, neither of us can go in. Guan Qing said.

"Is it okay for you to go in by yourself?" I asked Qingsu.

"Well, don't worry, even after all these years, I can still see her at a glance. Qingsu tied her headscarf around her waist, "You guys rest outside, I'll go and accompany her." ”

"Wait, she may not be able to see you anymore. "I think it's better for me to tell Qingsu in advance, so as not to disappoint it when it goes in.

Qingsu seemed to know it a long time ago, "It's okay, I can see her." After speaking, he smiled and walked to the ward, just a few steps, but I felt that Qingsu had walked for a long time.

Guan Qing and I sat on the chairs in the corridor waiting area, each thinking about their own things, Tsubaki sat on the windowsill and fell asleep, just didn't know that after a few hours, my eyes were also a little fighting, Qingsu came out.

"How's it going?" I asked him, crouching down.

"She really can't see me," Qingsu said, "but I think she feels something, because when I sit at the head of her bed, there are tears in her slightly open eyes, and there is a soft sound in her throat, and I keep looking at her, and she slowly quiets down, and then falls asleep laughing." ”

It said that the old lady should feel it coming, and the corners of her mouth were raised when she slept. I told Guan Qing.

"Human beings really age too fast, but even so, her wrinkles are still so cute. Qingsu put on her headscarf again, "Thank you, Lord Ye Ke, I have given up on seeing her again, thank you for calling me." The turban man bowed deeply to me.

"Are you leaving?" I asked.

"Well, although she couldn't speak, I understood what she meant from her eyes," Qingsu looked at Guan Qing, "The physique that can see the monster can be inherited, even a weak ability like Chunshui can be inherited, but this hidden ability can only be stimulated in a specific situation, Chunshui happened to meet me who was lost in the wheat field, so we will have today's result." She was worried about the child and didn't want him to have the same thing as us. ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean?" What is a specific situation? Could it be that Guan Qing can also see youkai?

"Actually, I can't say it well, it probably means that in this kind of weak demon family, only one person can inherit this weak ability, the middle-aged man just now should be the son of Chunshui, his eyes are ordinary people's eyes, but this child is not, he has the potential to see monsters, after Chunshui leaves, as long as the child intentionally or unintentionally forms a fate with monsters, this ability is likely to show in him, but because the demon power is too weak, so it may not be seen at any time, it was very lost at that time, Chunshui didn't want this child to suffer such a loss, so he didn't want him to form a fate with monsters。 Qingsu's eyes never left Guan Qing, "But, looking at him, he seems to have unconsciously formed a fate with a certain monster, otherwise he wouldn't have been so indifferent to me, am I right?"

I think of You Zhen. I also thought of my mother.

"If I'm right, this kid will see youkai soon, it's just a matter of time, and I'm not sure how much he'll be able to see it. I'm not sure how to guide him, so I need to ask a big monster, and I can see that this kid is the most important person in Chunshui, and from today on, he will also be the most important person to me, and I will do my best to make him happy. ”

"But don't you feel sorry to just leave? I said.

Guan Qing looked confused beside him.

Qingsu shook his head, "No, youkai and humans have different understandings of death, for me, I don't think Chunshui's death is a kind of farewell, the descendants of human beings, and a continuation of human beings' own lives." Originally, I was infinitely satisfied to see her, and I shouldn't ask for too much, but I guess it's fate, since I saw this child, and I also felt Chunshui's tenderness and unease with this child, then what I want to do is to protect this child. It looked back in the direction of the ward, "Besides, she is such a proud person, and I don't want to see her in the end." ”

When Qingsu left, I didn't know what he was in a hurry to do, but I knew that it was reluctant to give up Chunshui, and I knew that it must have its own reasons, and this reason must be the answer that Chunshui wanted.

Sympathy, maybe that's what it means.

"What the hell did it say?" Guan Qing asked me.

"It says, it's going to miss your grandma all the time, and it's going to keep protecting the people your grandma wants to protect. ”

"What do you mean?"

"That's what it means to protect you. I said.

Guan Qing blinked and looked at me for a long time, then lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

"Yek. ”

"Huh?"

"I really envy you, I can see so many gentle and kind monsters, I really want to talk to them. ”

Guan Qing, I also envy you, there is a grandmother who has always been with you, and a monster who is willing to protect you and guide you, so that you don't have to be alone to find answers, and you don't have to be afraid of the road ahead that you can't see.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's always a chance." ”
