Sitting in the courtyard, the ancestor of the Qi family said lazily: "Sit, please sit!" ”

He handed two plates of fruits that he didn't know what they were to Colin and Zhao Mingcheng: "This is 'Mangosteen', which is a very cherished fruit." I thought I would see a distinguished guest today, so I brought it here. ”

As soon as the words fell, he grabbed two red fruits and threw them to Colin and Zhao Mingcheng.

The two of them subconsciously caught it.

Then Colin and Zhao Mingcheng's eyes changed at the same time: "This is ......!" ”

As if seeing their surprise, the Qi family ancestor laughed and said, "Yes, this fruit is also a taboo." This is normal, after all, the species that existed before the cataclysm, not to mention the pollution, there are not many that can still grow normally now. ”

"And it's a lot of trouble to grow, it needs sunlight, moisture, and temperature, otherwise it will produce strange fruit."

Rubbing the mangosteen in his hand, the ancestor of the Qi family said lightly: "So I have always been curious about what the world was like before pollution, I heard that they can eat this fruit at will, and they can eat it at any time of the year." So I guess they should be a beautiful world with temperatures and no nights all year round. ”

As he spoke, the ancestor of the Qi family fell into deep thought.

Colin, on the other hand, grabbed the mangosteen in front of him and took a bite lightly.

"Uh......"

He covered his mouth, tears about to flow.

After taking a bite, the first thing he felt was "astringency".

It's more astringent than the stinky socks that haven't been washed at home for a long time.

And Zhao Mingcheng next to him saw his performance and quickly put this mangosteen back.

The ancestor of the Qi family laughed: "How is it, isn't it a novel experience?" This fruit gives people the feeling of 'astringency', very, very bitter. ”

As he spoke, he took a bite of mangosteen and ate the red skin: "But as long as you eat too much and can eat the meat inside, you will feel that the sourness on the outside is bearable." Bitterness comes at a good time, nothing more. ”

After eating the mangosteen, the ancestor of the Qi family burped: "Okay, the fruit is also finished." ”

"So let's have a good chat."

He looked at Colin in front of him: "Introduce yourself, although you may have guessed - I am the ancestor of the Qi family in their mouths, 'Qi Justice'." ”

"You're Colin, aren't you? A descendant of the man I befriended when I was younger. ”

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Colin's wrist, and said sincerely, "I heard that Ling was recently chased and killed by Dawn, and it really hurts you!" But don't worry, the forces in Shigen City and Dawn can't catch up! ”

Patting Colin on the shoulder, the ancestor of the Qi family, "Qi Zhengyi", said: "In the future, you will live here well, and no one will want to persecute you again." In line with our previous friendship, it's still okay to protect your family! ”

Hearing this, Colin smiled.

He nodded heavily towards Qi Zhengyi: "Thank you!" ”

His honesty made Qi Zhengyi feel very relieved, and he directly said that he liked Colin very much, which simply reminded him of that friend when he was a child.

Then the three of them began to communicate.

Qi Zhengyi cordially expressed his condolences to Colin over the years, and his eyes were very gloomy after learning that Colin had been in a small village on the edge and that he had a seriously ill younger brother.

"I didn't expect you to end up here."

Qi Zhengyi sighed and said, "Hey, it's really a thing or a person......

He was comforted again, saying that Colin could rest assured in the future, and that he would treat Colin like a junior of the Qi family in the future.

Then it was Zhao Mingcheng who helped Qi Zhengyi see a doctor.

After observing for a while, Zhao Mingcheng shook his head: "I'm sorry. ”

"I really don't see what the problem is," he said, his face full of confusion, "and if it weren't for the fact that you look rather weak, I would have thought you weren't sick at all." And your physical fitness is very good, is it all the case with high sequences? ”

In this regard, Qi Zhengyi just sighed: "When you step into the high sequence, you will know." Illness is no longer a physical function for us, but something closer to the soul. ”

Rubbing his legs, Qi Zhengyi said: "I have to bother you to stay for a few more days, I also have some knowledge of medicinal arts, and I want to ask you for advice." ”

In this regard, Zhao Mingcheng naturally agreed.

He was indeed interested in Qi Zheng's medicinal arts.

You know, this is a medicine that does not rely on the white wall cross, but purely on its own research. He was a pure pragmatist, much more experienced than his theorists.

Being able to learn from here is also good news for Zhao Mingcheng, which is another reason why he is willing to come here.

After agreeing with Zhao Mingcheng, Qi Zhengyi turned his head with a smile on his face and looked at Colin.

"Speaking of which, Colin."

His eyes were kind: "I remember taking a picture with you before, and that picture had me and your ancestors on it. ”

"Do you remember that painting?"

Listen to Qi Zhengyi's words.

Colin had a thoughtful look on his face.

After that, he shook his head: "No, I haven't heard of a similar drawing. ”

Hearing this, Qi Zhengyi's eyes flashed slightly.

However, he quickly returned to his original state: "Well, it's probably because too much time has passed, so it's lost." It's okay, it's not a precious thing anyway. ”

His words were full of sighs: "It's just that an old man still has some memories of the past and wants to see the time of a thousand years ago......."

looks like a little melancholy Qi Zhengyi.

The two of them hurriedly comforted themselves.

And Qi Zhengyi was really open-minded, and soon regained his calm.

After that, the three of them chatted for a while.

In the end, because it was dark, Qi Zhengyi had to let a few people go back.

After making an appointment to meet again tomorrow, Colin and Zhao Mingcheng left the house.

Only Qi Zhengyi was left to sit alone in the courtyard, watching their backs as they left.

His eyes were full of thought.

And the other side.

Colin followed Lu Mingcheng and slowly left the courtyard.

After opening the door, he saw Qi Xiao outside the mansion for the first time, who had been waiting for a long time.

Greeting Qi Xiao, Colin smiled.

The expression on his face was unusual.

But his mood was more horrified than ever.

"That's not the Qi Family Ancestor at all!"

While chatting with Qi Xiao, he felt a storm in his heart: "He looks exactly the same as in the photos I saw before!" ”

And it's not a change in appearance over time.

Colin was sure that even if the person surnamed Qi in the photo was old, he shouldn't be what he saw.

Unless the ancestor of the Qi family and the person in the photo are not the same.

But if that's the case.

Then why does that guy still claim to have an old relationship with Colin's ancestors?!

And he also seems to know the photo......

"But he called it a 'picture'!"

Although the form of that photo is strange.

But Colin thinks that since his father called it "picture".

Then as the ancestor of the Qi family as a party, there is no need to call it a "picture"!

So.

Who the hell is that Qi Family Ancestor?!

Why the hell did he pretend to be the man in the photo......

What the hell does he want from himself?!

With similar doubts.

Colin slowly returned home.

He knew he wanted more answers.

Only open that dusty mirror!
