Lu Keming's expression froze for a long time, looking at Yu Youyou who was still talking, a little lost in thought.

She stood in front of the candle, and the candlelight fell on her body, like a hero walking from the light, the hero asked solemnly:

"Are you willing to leave the land and go to the country of the deep sea with me?"

There was light in Yu Youyou's eyes, and Lu Keming saw his figure in her eyes. He looked at Yu Youyou quietly for a while, and finally replied:

"willing."

His voice was a bit dry, and after he finished speaking, he raised his white hand, and covered his eyes with bony fingers, blocking the unglamorous candlelight.

Here, Yu Youyou didn't think too much. When she got Lu Keming's answer, she flicked her ears twice happily, turned around with her tail wagging, bit her pen and drew a new picture.

The dragon in the painting is no longer angry, and the fish are no longer holding swords. They float on the sea and look at the setting sun in the distance.

After finishing the painting, she turned her head and happily said to Lu Keming:

"The sunset is beautiful. I used to like to watch the sunset on the sea. Once I didn't sleep for a week and stayed on the sea all day. I watched seven sunsets and seven sunrises."

"After watching the sunrise and sunset, I slept for another whole week before waking up. I will also take you to watch the sunset at sea in the future."

Listening to Yu Youyou's pleasant voice, Lu Keming put down his hands, sat quietly by the table, and moved his eyes to the paintings on the table.

He looked at the giant dragon and fish in the painting, and remained silent for a long time, until Yu Youyou stopped chattering and asked him strangely, "Why don't you speak?"

Lu Keming moved his fingers. He looked up at Yu Youyou, then at the dragon in the painting, and asked, "What if the dragon dies?"

The air became quiet, and Yu Youyou's eyes were like a deep sea, watching Lu Keming peacefully.

After a long time, she turned around, picked up the pen to draw on the paper, and answered casually.

"Dragons don't die."

Hearing Yu Youyou's words, Lu Keming's eyes moved. He looked at Yu Youyou's fluffy back and gradually clenched his fingers.

Yes, he won't die.

He must survive.

On the second day, several people appeared in front of Chen Qingqiu's house early, stopping Chen Qingqiu who was mainly going out to class.

Chen Qingqiu knew that several outsiders had come to the village, but they had never communicated with each other, and they were suddenly stopped by several people, and they were still a little dazed.

Lu Keming's voice was cold, he casually stood in front of Chen Qingqiu, blocking Chen Qingqiu's way.

"Teacher Chen, let me take a few minutes of your time. We have some questions to ask you."

Lu Keming usually wears the blue dragon uniform. Although the shape is different, they are all clothes with blue gilt patterns on a black background. Recently, he has changed his usual gloomy style and added many clothes of different colors.

Just like him now, wearing an off-white uniform, with his hair scattered casually, his skin is so white that it reflects in the cold autumn sunlight, creating a kind and gentle atmosphere.

It matches the color of the small soil pine in his arms quite well.

But the expression on his face always had a hint of arrogance. Chen Qingqiu knew that this person in front of him was not easy to mess with just by taking a few glances.

But as a teacher for many years, he has never seen any kind of student, and he is not cautious when facing Lu Keming, and calmly replied: "You ask, if I can answer, I will try my best to answer."

"It's very simple." Lu Keming took out Fang Ziang's painting yesterday, sent it to Chen Qingqiu, and asked:

"Do you know this woman?"

The woman in the painting was only wearing underwear. Unprepared, Chen Qingqiu froze for a second before carefully identifying it again.

"I don't know." Chen Qingqiu looked at the woman's face for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Hearing Chen Qingqiu's words, Fang Ziang became anxious. Since seeing the female ghost again yesterday, he has been able to see the female ghost now.

At this time, the female ghost was standing beside Chen Qingqiu, looking at them suspiciously, making Fang Ziang's scalp tingle for a while.

"Think again, have you seen it before, but forgot?"

Chen Qingqiu looked at the painting again, and after a while, shook his head again, "I have never seen such a face in my memory.

He glanced at a few people apologetically, "I don't think I've really seen this person, you probably asked the wrong question."

"Why did you ask the wrong question?" Fang Ziang remembered to speak directly, "If you don't know anyone, why would others follow you?"

As soon as his words came out, Chen Qingqiu was stunned for a while, and looked at Fang Ziang in puzzlement. The black air around the female ghost behind him rose sharply, and the air instantly became cold.

Fang Ziang shuddered, "I'm talking nonsense, don't mind..."

"Maybe there is really some misunderstanding." Chen Qingqiu didn't think too much about it, "I have to go to class now, if there is anything else, you can ask me after school."

Lu Keming has been paying attention to Chen Qingqiu's expression from the beginning to the end, and there is no trace of lying on his face when he speaks.

Based on his observation of Chen Qingqiu, this person really doesn't look like someone who would deliberately lie to them.

Lu Keming withdrew his hand, made way for Chen Qingqiu, and expressed his thanks blankly.

"It's okay." Chen Qingqiu nodded, and walked past Lu Keming. Because of the delay, his steps were much faster, and he couldn't maintain his balance with his lame foot that was usually hidden.

Lu Keming lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then followed.

And just as Chen Qingqiu reached the end of the path, A Chou's figure appeared at the corner just like what they saw when they first came to Li Family Village.

She held a basket of eggs in her hand and handed it to Chen Qingqiu.

This time, they were closer and heard their conversation clearly.

"Teacher, these are the eggs my chicken just laid, and they are used to cover the tuition you paid for me." A Chou delivered the eggs to Chen Qingqiu, with his head lowered, his voice a little dull.

Chen Qingqiu looked at the eggs she sent, sighed, but still took the eggs, "Counting the things you brought me before, you can still help me, those tuition fees are paid off, and I don't need to pay any more in the future." I delivered something."

Having said that, his voice paused, as if he had made up his mind, he continued:

"These days there are rumors in the village, those words have no effect on me, but you are a girl, it is always bad, don't follow me like this anymore."

Ah Chou lowered his head and said nothing.

Chen Qingqiu looked at her stubborn appearance, sighed, and said, "Why are you so stubborn."

After speaking, he shook his head, turned around and walked a few steps, leaving Ah Chou behind.

A Chou then raised his head to look at Chen Qingqiu, his usually numb eyes became a little more lonely, but he still followed.

Lu Keming and the others stood not far away, watching the backs of Chen Qingqiu and A Chou, without making a sound.

"Sigh." Fang Ziang sighed, turned around and wanted to leave, but ran into the female ghost who was supposed to leave with Chen Qingqiu.

Fang Ziang was so frightened that he took several steps back, hid behind Shen Minghua, and said in panic, "Damn it."

Only he and Yu Youyou could see the female ghost here, and the air became tense for a moment. Shen Minghua stretched out his hand, blocked Fang Ziang behind him, and carefully stared at the position where Fang Ziang stood just now.

But Yu Youyou jumped out of Lu Keming's arms, walked to the place where Fang Ziang was standing, stood with all four feet straight, looked at the female ghost with his head tilted, and asked directly:

"Do you know who you are?"
