Chapter 5: Departure

The rain did not fall, the cold wind blew for a morning, and at noon the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and the sky was so inexplicably clear.

My father finally invited the little Taoist priest from the Taoist hall outside the city.

The little Taoist has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his temperament is dusty, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance, and then he takes a closer look, it turns out to be a golden beetle demon, this thing is originally a demon, and he is still here to catch a demon.

The little Taoist priest looked at me with a smile, and my father and mother said next to me: "This is my daughter, almost nine years old, her health has not been good since she was a child, and she will fall asleep at both ends in three days. ”

The little Taoist priest looked around, and he said, "It's a little strange, if you can trust me, I will stay here for a while and slowly investigate." ”

My father hurriedly asked, "Are you really harmed by demons?" No wonder the ordinary doctor can't diagnose it, if my husband and wife hadn't heard that the little master had gone to ask for it, it would have been to delay my daughter's life, and the little master could live as long as he wanted, so I would go to clean up the room first, and let the insiders prepare some wine and food before inviting the little master to dinner. ”

The little Taoist priest was very polite: "Just call me Tang Yuan." ”

Pretending.

This is my evaluation of the golden beetle demon in front of me.

After my father and mother left, Si He touched my head and asked me, "Can you still live here?" I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss you a little. ”

Recognize me?

Although the demons and monsters are originally a family, I rarely go out in the underworld, and I really don't remember knowing such a person.

Seeing that I shouldn't, he said: "Look at my memory, no one is allowed to enter or leave your Yellow Spring except for ghosts, I almost committed a taboo, you are not allowed to tell me about coming to find you in the future, otherwise someone will come to me to seek revenge." ”

I don't understand Tang Yuan's inexplicable words, but he knows my identity, and he must be an unusual demon.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I was going to sleep again, the days in the world were too boring, I was still eleven years away from the age of twenty, it was really rare to wait, or sleep more to pass the time.

I didn't go when I was eating, I slept in a daze, my father and mother told me to get up and eat, I didn't even bother to open my eyes, so scared that my father and mother hurriedly went to boil medicine for me to drink according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor before, or Tang Yuan said that I slept heavily before coaxing my father and mother away.

I once asked Mo Yan what the heavenly realm, the demon realm and the mortal realm were like, and whether it was also foggy everywhere like the underworld, and Mo Yan didn't bother to pay attention to me.

Now that he is in the mortal world, he also feels that it is nothing more than this, maybe he has been quiet for thousands of years, but he feels that this mortal world is very noisy and irritates.

It was the next morning when I woke up again, and the moment I opened my eyes, I immediately sensed that there was someone outside the door, it was Tang Yuan.

He is a demon, he can't get in, the house has an enchantment I laid down, except for people, no gods and demons can step into the door of the house half a step.

I opened the door, and at a glance, I saw Tang Yuan leaning against the door frame and holding a sword, his appearance was very good-looking, on par with the judge's book, but each had its own merits.

I asked him directly, "What are your intentions in being around me?" I don't have time to play with you, so you'd better leave early. ”

He played a scoundrel: "I knew you would drive me away, so I waited for your father and mother in the world to invite me, whether I left or left you said it doesn't count, I have to ask your father and mother if they are willing." ”

"Also, I don't have any intentions for you, you can rest assured, I just want to accompany you before you return to the underworld, if you hadn't returned to the underworld a few days ago, this heaven and earth are big, I really don't know where to find you."

If you don't want to do anything, then why did you come to me and chat with me to relieve my boredom? Joke.

I didn't want to stay with him, and when I saw that my father and mother should wake up, I ignored him.

Just a few steps away, his beaten voice came from behind me: "I told your father and mother, wait a few days to take you back to my gym to raise, the hall is full of righteousness, there are a lot of demon hunting magic weapons, if the body is invaded by demons, it will be good to raise it for a few years." ”

Want to take me away?

I won't leave, if I really accidentally change the life of this body, I can't be sure that I will stay in the world for a few more decades, I don't want to stay for a few months, let alone a few decades.

"I'm not going."

But I'm a child, no one listens to what I say, I can't make my own decisions, my father and mother still agreed to let me go to the gym to raise, for this, I was sad for several days.

The day I followed Tang Yuan, it had just finished a rain, the ground was a little wet, but the air was very fresh, and there were colorful rainbow bridges hanging in the distance, but everyone was not in the mood to look at the rainbow, because I was going to follow Tang Yuan.

My father and mother and the people of the Ning family came to see me off, but it was rare for my cousins, the younger ones cried and said that they were reluctant to give me, the older ones were red and said they would come to see me, and some of them stuffed me with a pocket full of small snacks, or the third aunt was the most reliable, and stuffed me with a copper plate.

The uncle who sold the sugar gourd came out again, and after watching it for a while, he knew that they were all here to see off, and he generously took down a string of sugar gourds and handed them to me: "A-Ning is leaving, I won't be able to eat the uncle's sugar gourd in the future, come, the uncle will pick the biggest string for you to eat on the road, no money." ”

It's not the biggest, I can see it all.

"Uncle, don't come here to sell sugar gourds in ten days, you go to Nancheng to sell them for a few days."

Uncle didn't understand what I was talking about, Tang Yuan took my hand, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the root of his ears when he smiled.

I glared at him, he restrained a little, and he took my hand and walked away slowly, the reluctant voices behind him getting quieter and quieter until I couldn't hear them.

Tang Yuan asked me, "You see how reluctant they are to you, so why don't you say something to them?" ”

But there was no wave in my heart, I didn't know what it was like to be reluctant, I felt that the words they told me were a little long-winded, and the crying voice was a little noisy.

Besides, this place is not far from the Taoist hall outside the city, if you really miss me, go and see me, what's the use of crying and chirping.

In the distance, I saw a slightly familiar figure holding an umbrella in front of me, as if waiting for me.

The rain has already fallen, and depending on the sky, there will not be a second rain today.

When I got closer, I saw that it was Mu Ci, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella that I had left for him, with messy hair and shabby clothes.

I wanted to pass by him, but after thinking about it, I still handed him the sugar gourd: "Little beggar, are you hungry, the sugar gourd is for you, I promise, I really didn't touch it this time." ”

He was suppressing his anger, he said: "I am not a beggar, I have a name, my name is Muci, you remember my name, my name is Muci." ”

He is half a head taller than me, I have to look up at him, I look at his eyes as if he is not suppressing anger, but like a little reluctant, he is reluctant to me?

I sent the sugar gourd to him: "Give you the sugar gourd, Mu Ci." ”

He took the sugar gourd and handed me the umbrella, I thought about it for a while or didn't take it, if it rained halfway, Tang Yuan would buy an umbrella, if it rained, it was estimated that he would not have the money to buy an umbrella.

Forget it, I'll leave it to him.

I shook my head at him, the streets were still very lively, there were stalls selling everything, and after walking a little far, I heard Mu Ci ask me loudly, "How long are you going?" ”

I looked back at him, and he was very conspicuous in the crowd, a little beggar, holding an oil-paper umbrella on a sunny day.

I didn't know how long I was going to go, so I looked up and asked Tang Yuan, "How long am I going to live in your gym?" ”

Tang Yuan also shook his head and said, "I don't know, it depends on the situation." ”

So I shook my head at the confession, saying that I really didn't know.

Just when Tang Yuan and I were about to leave, a group of people surrounded Mu Ci, after all, they knew Mu Ci, so they also wanted to know what was going on.

The group of people who came brought knives, and the people in the street were just ordinary people, and they caused a panic, and the people in the street fled away.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles are all over the streets, and the common people can't afford to mess with them.

A little beggar, no one will think of him as a powerful person, but the person who stops people with a knife on the street will not be an ordinary person.

He is indeed not an ordinary person, he is a prince, a little prince who has been framed and left behind, and can only be mixed into a little beggar.

It seemed like he was standing in front of me for the first time, his hair was still so messy, his face was still dirty, and he was still dressed in the same shabby beggar suit.

He stood straight in front of me, his eyes shining as if he were hiding light.

He didn't care what those people said, he walked straight up to me and said, "My name is Mo Chi, you must remember my name, I promised you to protect you from being taken by others, you are leaving here today, but I still want you to know that I am leaving, I am going to catch those who stole children, and I want to take back everything I have lost, you don't forget me." ”

I nodded, I understand him, but there are people in the court who stand on his side, he is the prince, he can fight for the throne as him, if he succeeds, he will be a puppet emperor, if he fails, he will die of an unfavored prince.

Si Ming Xingjun's small words have read a lot, although he has not experienced it, but he also understands a little bit about it.

He said, "Thank you for the sugar gourd, it's so sweet, I've never eaten such a delicious sugar gourd." ”

In fact, when a person is very hungry, everything he eats is delicious, and this person can't beg for food, and he almost starved to death at my doorstep.

I actually want to tell him, just eat a few strings of sugar gourds from me, it's not too familiar, there's really no need to be so troublesome, arresting people is the business of the government, seizing the throne is your royal business, you really don't need to remember me, I'm just a passerby, I can only live to be twenty years old, everything is not important to me, I don't want to participate in anything.

I thought of Si Ming Xingjun's words again, and after thinking about it, I gave the down-and-out prince a sugar gourd, he wouldn't want to repay any favors.

Actually, I didn't have to, I saved his life.

I'll admit I ran away.

I don't remember what he said, before leaving, he stuffed me with half a jade pendant, and he said, "You are very kind, I only recognize you as a friend." ”
