'Squeak! ’
'Squeak~'
On December 26th, it suddenly snowed the heaviest snow in recent years.
The magic capital, which is covered by heavy snow, looks unusually cold.
The snow on the asphalt and cement roads everywhere was swept aside by the sanitation workers who got up early in the morning and cleaned it up.
On the road that has not been cleared, people who get up early to go to work 'squeak! Creak's squeak out a series of footprints.
In the courtyard at the end of a small alley in the magic capital, an old man in an army-green coat was lying on a recliner covered with a thick quilt, closing his eyes and resting.
At this moment, a woman who had wrapped herself tightly came out of the house, holding a pink kettle in her hand.
The woman walked up to the old man, saw the swaying recliner, and whispered, "Dad, I'm going to work." ”
The old man was unconscious, still staggering with his eyes closed.
However, the slightly moving eyelids told the woman that her dad was not asleep.
The woman carried a kettle and filled the thermos cups on either side of the old man with tea. Then tighten the cups and set the kettle aside.
"Dad, I won't bother you, I'll go to work."
The woman walked to the door and turned back to the old man, who was still at ease.
The complicated expression pushed open the door and left, followed by a stubborn look in his place.
The old man heard the sound of the door closing, opened his drooping eyelids sharply, and looked at the closed door with a deep gaze.
After looking at it for a few seconds, the old man closed his eyes, and then heard someone open the door and ignored it.
This time the door was opened by a middle-aged woman who was dressed very well and cleanly, and it was a nanny hired by the old man's children after consulting together.
"What do you want to eat today, sir?"
The woman walked up to the old man, checked the tea in the thermos cup, and then tucked the old man's upturned quilt.
"Whatever."
The old man did not open his eyes, his mouth opened, and a sound like pulling the bark of an old tree came out, which at once frightened away the sparrows that wanted to land on the eaves.
The woman was accustomed to it, but frowned.
"Then I'll watch it."
"Whatever."
He was still answered with a nonchalant and nonchalant answer.
The woman didn't care to get up and go to the kitchen.
Anyway, her salary is paid by the old man's son, and she only needs to be responsible for cooking and taking care of the old man during the day.
The woman, who did not have any psychological pressure, opened the refrigerator in the kitchen with kindness, and after seeing that there were no fresh vegetables, she took the key and went out again.
Now, in the huge courtyard, only the old man is left lying on the recliner.
The old man staggered for a long time, probably because he suddenly remembered something. Lift the well-wrapped quilt and get off the chaise longue.
The old man walked slowly, but his steps were steady. Walking slowly to the front of the room, he stretched out a pair of dark, calloused hands and pushed the door open.
The old man passed by the hall and came to the door of his study.
He took out a string of keys tied with red string from his pocket and unlocked the front of the study.
'Squeak~'
The wooden study door came with the sound of historical precipitation.
The old man walked into the study door that had been pushed open, then turned on the light in the study, turned around and locked the door from the inside.
After locking the door, the old man panted slightly, took off his military coat and put it aside.
Because the house is heated all the time, I am not afraid of freezing.
After the old man put down his coat, he came to the last row of bookshelves in the yellowing light.
There is only one book in the center of this row of bookshelves, and there is a small jade bowl with incense in front of the book.
Looking at the incense that had burned to the end, the old man hurriedly picked up the incense pillar next to him.
Light a lighter and replace the burned incense.
His eyes were clasped together in front of his chest.
"Immortal, I know you've always been there, and I know my days are coming to an end.
However, I am not reconciled!
I can't let go of the family business I built single-handedly, and I lost in the hands of these unfilial children. Ask the immortals to show you the way, the old decay really can't last long. ”
The old man kept repeating this sentence in front of the book over and over again.
When the incense was halfway burned, the old man's expectant gaze gradually dimmed.
"Still won't come out?"
The old man sighed and turned to put his coat on.
"I can help you."
An indifferent, unwavering voice abruptly came from the book on the shelf.
The old man could not wait to turn back, and saw a bright light coming from the book he had been offering.
In the blink of an eye, the figure engraved in his bones slowly appeared.
Lin Xining opened his eyes and quickly adapted to this strange body.
Immediately summoned the black stone.
The old man's eyes widened and he stared at the man in the white shirt and black suit pants.
"Immortal Chief!"
"Immortal Chief! I'm seeing you again......"
Lin Xining nodded indifferently, and slipped the black stone that appeared from his waist onto his shoulder.
There is an old man in the memory of the original body, and it was a few decades ago.
At that time, he was still a teenager.
The old man looked at Lin Xining wistfully, and his eyes gradually blurred.
"I still remember the last time I saw the Immortal Chief, when I was thirteen years old."
At this, the old man lowered his head and chuckled.
"I still remember the first time I saw the fairy chief at that time, hehe, it was just shocking."
In the memory of the original body, the picture described by the old man immediately appeared.
……
It was a sunny afternoon, and the original body ran out of the bookshelf of the cave for the first time.
As a result, before I had time to be happy, I bumped into a child who had escaped from the private school in the back mountain.
The original body flew in the air leisurely, not noticing the child who suddenly came out.
Suddenly frightened, he turned back into his prototype and fell to the ground.
The children were also scared silly and peed their pants. The mouth that is not chirping keeps shouting, 'Youkai! ''Youkai! He ducked behind a tree.
The child hid behind a tree and didn't see the 'monster' for a long time. He had the courage to probe his brain out, and he saw the book lying on the ground.
The child was scared and curious at the thought of a 'monster' living in this book.
Then he secretly picked up the book and hid it in his arms.
The original body hiding in the book struggled for a long time, but still didn't choose to come out. Instead, he stayed in the book and slept silently, never coming out again.
It's now, a month before Lin Xining came.
The original body suddenly woke up, and saw that he had been worshiped by the old man, and he appeared in the world for the first time, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.
Then he hid back in the book in distress, until he was suddenly replaced by Lin Xining.
Memories Kill Complete.
Lin Xining transformed into the appearance of a college student, with Heishi lying on his shoulder, holding the book that had been enshrined by the old man for decades.
Lin Xining walked up to the old man and looked at him.
"Don't call me an immortal, I'm not an immortal."
The old man opened his mouth wide, "Not an immortal?!" That's a youkai!! ”
The old man's surprised appearance gradually coincided with the young man in his original memory.
Lin Xining rarely opened his mouth to explain.
"Of course, it's not a youkai."
The original body is indeed not an immortal, nor is it a monster.
It's the spirit of the words that come out of this book.
