Chapter 322: Entanglement (7)
Li Yun found an empty table by the lake, took out a water bottle from the backpack he was carrying and gave it to Uncle Li.
Unlike the tourists around them, they prepared a lot of food and drinks, and came to the park in the center of the city for a picnic. Li Yun will bring water, and it is only because of the old man Uncle Li that he is used to it. In fact, the four of them don't need to eat or drink, and their appetites are not strong. Uncle Li took the water, which meant to drink a little.
On weekdays, and it's already winter, there aren't many people in this open park in the heart of the city. Still, when you look up, you can still see some tourists.
The lake next to it is an artificial lake, and like most parks, there are many koi fish in the lake.
Li Yun has read the introduction and knows that this park has been around for many years. Originally, it was just a small one, at most the scale of a community park, but with urban development and policy planning, it has become a green island surrounded by steel and concrete. The local government also dug a lake here, which gave the finishing touch to the view of the park.
As far as the eye can see, the colorful koi fish with the length of children's arms are like the reflection of the sunset in the lake, the center of the lake is sparkling, and the emerald green shade is further away, which remains evergreen in winter. Behind the shade of the trees, the skyscrapers of steel giants rise, the luster of metal and glass, coupled with the modern silhouette, against the blue sky and white clouds, it seems like another world.
There is also no hustle and bustle of vehicles here. Because there are few tourists today, there are only small human voices, which is not annoying, but has a sense of tranquility.
Let Li Yun evaluate, this park and artificial green island in the center of the city are indeed a good tourist attraction.
On top of that, there is no entrance fee, it's free, there's no time limit for the tour, and the special street lights at night are also part of the attraction. Compared to many attractions, this advantage is too obvious.
When Li Yun was thinking about this, he found that Xue Xiaolian and Yi Xin had different expressions.
Xue Xiaolian seemed to like this place very much, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and her breathing was steady and long. The sun shone on her, making her whole person seem to glow. The floral scent from her body is also different from usual. The floral scent is lighter, but more pronounced.
Li Yun didn't know if it was because of this change, or because he had taken allergy medicine, but now he wanted to inhale deeply and enjoy the fragrance of the flowers.
But he didn't have this leisure.
Yi Xin did not enjoy the view. She tilted her head sideways, looking at the lake, her eyes were shining, the same as Xue Xiaolian bathing in the sun, but different. The sunlight seemed to be absorbed by her body, and only her eyes glowed from the inside out.
That expression of joy at the sight of the hunt made the uneasiness in Li Yun's heart expand.
He hurriedly followed Yi Xin's line of sight and saw several men by the lake. There were five people in total, who looked like they were ranging in age from twenty to forty, dressed in casual clothes and carrying bags, and did not look like students or office workers. Li Yun looked at it twice, and he had a guess. This group of people should play in a group. The backpacks they were carrying were all sports bags, one of them had a backpack zipper that was not closed, allowing Li Yun to see a pair of sneakers, and the other had an arc-shaped bulge, and at a glance he knew that there was a ball stuffed inside.
Li Yun looked at them, and then at Yi Xin, and saw that Yi Xin had already pressed his hands on the table and was about to get up.
"Sister Yi." Li Yun hurriedly screamed, nervous.
Yi Xin glanced at Li Yun.
"Where do we go after that? There's a science and technology museum around here, right? Li Yun casually found a topic.
He also miscalculated.
When choosing a destination, Li Yun consciously avoided those crowded attractions. When you choose a place like a park, you are afraid of running into a single man. Before, he hadn't seen a lone man all the way. Most of the people who come to this park at this time are people with their families, there are not many couples, and most of them are elderly people and children.
Li Yun didn't expect such an accident.
He diverted Yi Xin's attention as he stared at the men.
Because of the angle, he didn't see the left ring finger of those people.
The two of Ben Si may be married, and there are three younger ones left......
Li Yun was calculating, but he heard Yi Xin snort.
She squinted at Li Yun, as if she had understood Li Yun's purpose. She didn't care what Li Yun thought, she didn't look at Uncle Li's worried eyes, and walked straight to those people.
Xue Xiaolian looked at the nervous Li Yun with a smile.
"You can't stop it. If you can stop it once, you can't stop it next time. Xue Xiaolian said.
Li Yun's brows tightened, "She ...... like this"
Li Yun didn't finish his words, looked at Xue Xiaolian, got up and followed Yi Xin.
If Yi Xin only wants to be in love, then it's easy to say. Li Yun is also not against the love between humans and youkai. In those classic love movies, there are still many ghost love themes. Humans and youkai, at least both are alive. Easy to fall in love, always with a pessimistic attitude. The objects she chose seem to be of poor character at present, and the final result is that they have all become Yi Xin's collections.
Li Yun didn't want to see Yi Xin fall into this vicious circle of love, and he didn't want to see people who had an ordinary life go to death step by step.
Even if you are an emotional scumbag, there is no reason to ask for someone's life. But in Yi Xin's love, because of her identity as a monster, love has become a life-threatening thing. This really worries Li Yun.
Li Yun followed Yi Xin and was glared at fiercely by Yi Xin.
The five men did not notice the two. They gathered at the lake and were feeding the koi in the lake.
In order to compete for food, the fat koi fish twisted their bodies, their tails slapped randomly, and for a while, the water splashed everywhere, and there was a fierce sound of banging.
There are tourists with children who also come to the lake at this time to watch them feed the fish.
As they got closer, Li Yun also heard their conversation.
A man in a beige coat who looks to be in his thirties feeds fish and introduces his companions to the creature koi. He seems to be a lover of this, and he is familiar with the various colors and patterns of koi fish. From time to time, his companion asked questions.
Li Yun didn't hold Yi Xin, so he saw Yi Xin leaning over, blinking with big eyes, and naturally interjected.
“…… Are these koi fish artificially bred? Don't they reproduce on their own? ”
The five men looked at Yi Xin in unison.
Yi Xin just glanced at them, then crouched down and looked curiously at the koi by the lake.
"The park will do the cleanup. Generally, the park will be cleaned up, and the fish eggs will be cleaned up. Otherwise, the koi fish lay hundreds of thousands of eggs at a time, and the smell is unbearable, and too much is not good. The park is also not suitable for small fish life. The man explained.
"I see." Yi Xin put on a look of sudden realization.
She held out her hand to the koi in the lake.
Those fish may be too stupid to react to Yi Xin's touch. If she wanted to, she could grab two of them casually.
Li Yun followed behind Yi Xin, carefully looking at the expressions of the five men.
He also glanced at the left hands of five men, three of whom wore rings on their left ring fingers. Two unmarried, one was a young man in his twenties, and the other looked to be in his thirties. The one who introduced the koi was a married person. He just looked at Yi Xin, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. The other four, married and unmarried, didn't seem to have fallen in love with Yi Xin at first sight.
Li Yun felt a little relieved.
Yi Xin casually poked the fish's head.
When the children next to them saw it, they also reached out to touch the fish, but their parents stopped them.
There are also big hearts, relying on their own strength, picking up the child and approaching the lake.
The child touched the fish with his chubby fingers and giggled. It was not enough to poke once, and then waved his little hand to catch it, so that the fish scattered and fled, and some of them stayed nearby and continued to grab food. The child did not give up, and waved his hand again.
This time, the child's hand poked into the fish's mouth, and with a hook of his fingers, he really caught a fish.
The onlookers laughed and marveled.
The men also looked at the child.
Everyone's attention is on the child. The child didn't feel anything, he just wanted to catch the fish.
His parents wanted to help, and their hands lifted up while holding the child.
In the end, it is a child, and the strength is not enough. The koi fish that have been raised in this park for many years are also fed fat and strong. As soon as the fish fluttered, it burrowed into the water.
This force made the child's body shake.
His parents were also unexpected, leaning forward and stepping forward.
There is no fence around the lake, but bricks are laid on the land, and in some of the bricks, there are weeds growing tenaciously. The depth of the water around the lake is very limited, and at most you can see the bottom of the water even if you get your shoes wet. A little further afield, it's just to the depth of the calf.
It's just that these are for adults.
As soon as the parent's foot slipped, the child in his hand fell upside down and hit his head on the fish gathered in the lake.
Suddenly, there was chaos.
In the confusion, the parents threw themselves into the water, and the children also fell into the water completely.
"Ahh
"Help!"
"Pull it up!"
The people around him immediately became anxious.
The child's parents also covered their heads and got up on their own, but they didn't expect to fish for the child.
Li Yun watched this series of processes, and his heart was pounding. He just wanted to save people, and the location was a little farther away. Adults in the vicinity have already put their hands into the lake.
Schools of fish scurry through the water, red, white, and yellow patterns like tumbling paint.
Such a big child, but it seems to be swallowed up by this paint.
His parents finally reacted, directly pushed away the fish in the water, screamed anxiously, and fished people in the water.
Li Yun felt Yi Xin stand up and walk back to him.
He looked at Yi Xin, but saw that Yi Xin frowned, as if he was in trouble.
He became nervous, leaned closer to Yi Xin, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's something in the water." Yi Xin glanced at Li Yun and then at the fish.
Li Yun's heart was shocked, and he immediately rushed to the place where the child fell into the water.
He had only run two steps before Yi Xin grabbed his clothes with one hand.
Puff, puff.
Two sounds of entering the water in succession.
I saw that two of the men just now threw away their things, took off their coats, and jumped directly into the water.
After a little thought, you should understand that there are so many people fishing on the lake, but they have not fished up the children who are older than the fish for a while, and most of the children are caught in the fish and go deeper into the lake.
The two men jumped into the lake and plunged into the water, also looking for something deeper.
Li Yun looked at Yi Xin, who was holding him.
Xue Xiaolian and Uncle Li also gathered at this time.
"It's useless." Yi Xin said lightly.
Her voice fell, but she saw a head floating out of the lake.
The two men who went into the water to rescue the child carried the child and swam to the shore.
The child's face was ugly, and he didn't breathe at all.
Among their group, some people came out of the crowd and started first aid for children, and the methods were extremely professional.
After a while, the child vomited water and his face returned to normal.
Yi Xin was not embarrassed by being slapped in the face. She calmly looked at the parents who were crying with joy and the crowd who were also happy.
Xue Xiaolian just glanced at it and said, "Let's go." ”
She wasn't interested in these things, she was just disturbed by the sunshine and the beautiful scenery, and she expected that more people would come and the park would become extremely noisy, so she wanted to leave.
Li Yun and Uncle Li didn't move.
Both saw it.
In the already calm waters of the lake, koi fish swim, from time to time close to the surface of the water, their scales shining in the sun.
In those rays of light, there was a child.
The child is like a fish, swimming in the water.
But in reality, he wasn't swimming, he was just being pushed by those fish, drifting with the waves.
That kid was the kid who had just fallen into the water.
The child who was held in the arms of his parents opened his eyes, did not cry or make trouble, and looked around with dark eyes.
His gaze swept over Li Yun and the four of them, paused, and then retracted.
He looked at the man holding him, and suddenly he cried.
This reaction is similar to that of most children.
"He ......" Li Yun was about to say something, but saw that the soul of the child in the lake seemed to melt into the water and disappeared directly.
"Let's go to the capital. This is true for most people. Yi Xin said casually, "Those who stay, those who can still think and act if they stay, are a minority." It's just the ones that remain...... Well, in your human parlance, it's 'ghostly', just annoying flies. ”
It doesn't kill people, at most it scares and scares the people who see them.
In contrast, those ghosts that can move are the truly terrifying things.
Li Yun subconsciously took two steps and wanted to get closer to the child, but was caught by Yi Xin again.
Li Yun turned his head, but saw that Yi Xin looked in another direction.
Li Yun looked at it.
Uncle Li also looked over and blurted out: "Black and white are impermanent!" ”
They saw two figures, one black and one white, but those two were not the black and white impermanence they had ever seen.
These two are black and white, one with white paint all over the body, and the other ...... It's black.
Li Yun was stunned.
The two black and white impermanence looked at them and nodded slightly, as if to say hello. Then they walked over to the child.
The child did not notice them at first, but when they came near, he struggled in horror at the sight of them.
Those ordinary people don't see the impermanence of black and white, they only see the crazy behavior of children.
Black and white impermanence grabbed the child's arm.
I didn't see their strength, but they just raised their hands, and the soul of the dove occupying the magpie's nest was pulled out by them.
Li Yun and the others didn't expect that the soul that took up the child's body was also a child.
The child's body immediately lost its vitality. His parents and the people around him were stunned.
Crying, chattering, and other sounds were noisy.
None of this affects the impermanence of black and white.
Chains appeared on them, and chains like snakes crawled from them to the imp, and wrapped the imp completely. Black and white impermanence held the cocoon-like chain ball and waited for a while. The chains squirmed twice, spread out completely, and as soon as they landed, they disappeared without making a sound. Naturally, the little ghost was gone.
The two finished their work and walked towards Li Yun and them.
