Well of Mystery

At the end of the year without heating, the first heavy snowfall in winter came unexpectedly.

The wasteland near Jiulihuai Village is pure white, with no ruts, footprints, or even animal claw marks.Thick snow rolls down from Fuxi Mountain all the way, beautiful and spectacular.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the sun has not yet fully risen, and the air is still bitingly cold.Under the thick eaves of Xuanjing Apartment, a meter-long icicle hangs, the water in the pool is frozen, and Wei Xiangtu’s herbal garden is only left with broken branches and leaves.

Losing the vitality of summer, people seem to be getting lazy in such a cold and quiet atmosphere.

In the corridor on the third floor of the west building, a small-scale routine maintenance is in progress.

Tear off the old newspaper with the seal, shovel off the paper scraps left on the window frame, apply glue, and then stick the brand new newspaper on it.

Well done, Bai Xiuqi inspected his "work" with satisfaction—now, his craftsmanship has caught up with the real manager of this apartment.However, before Jiang Chenglu returned from the vegetable market, there were still two windows that needed to be replaced, so it had to be done quickly.

Bai Xiuqi let out a breath of white air and walked to the next room.

Xuanjing Apartment is really old, most of the wooden doors and windows are decayed.After this year's rainy season, maybe even ordinary thieves can't be prevented.If there is another night of ghosts, it will be completely over.

Bai Xiuqi was sticking the windows, thinking in his mind that he must talk to Jiang Chenglu about this later, and let that "stingy man" squeeze out a sum of money from his card to replace all the doors and windows of the apartment.

So happy to decide.

Bai Xiuqi thought about it, then walked briskly, turned around and walked out.At this moment, something the size of a palm suddenly fell from the door frame above his head.

It was still the restless rouge box back then.As it fell, it opened the lid impatiently, and spit out a red "tongue".

More than ten months ago, it had "invaded" Bai Xiuqi's body, which can be said to be "knowing the taste".This time, it originally thought it would not miss...

"The same trick, do you want to do it twice?"

Without even raising his head, Bai Xiuqi stretched out his right hand to catch it firmly.

Rouge Box still wants to struggle.But it soon found out.I have no way to play any more tricks on this man - Bai Xiuqi's spiritual power is already above him, and it is still far beyond.

"It's quite cold outside, I think you'd better stay inside obediently."

He took a spool of red thread out of his pocket.Bai Xiuqi carefully wrapped the rouge box again, put it back in a proper place, and then went out the door.

When the weather was still warm a few months ago, Bai Xiuqi once forced Jiang Chenglu to do a thorough cleaning.so now.The old goods and rubbish in the corridor have been removed, and it looks clean and bright.

It is also because there is no obstruction of obstacles.From a long distance, Bai Xiuqi saw someone walking in from the direction of the main entrance of the apartment.

Who else but Jiang Chenglu.

"Why so early?" Bai Xiuqi muttered, put down his tools and went downstairs.

"Don't mention it, it's snowing. Things are rare and expensive."

Putting the vegetable basket on the railing, the first thing Jiang Chenglu did was to kiss his lover to warm his lips that were about to freeze.

Although Bai Xiuqi is not used to this kind of intimacy in broad daylight.But seeing no one around in the winter morning, I obediently accepted it.

A full year and three months have passed since the first time I landed on the Wandering Island.There are no waves and waves in the days, and the years are quiet.In Jiang Chenglu's words, the time without ghosts is a very long "honeymoon period".

During this "honeymoon period", on the one hand, they maintained the temperature as if they were passionately in love; on the other hand, they quickly started the so-called "old couple" mode.

"...I bought too many vegetables again, didn't I tell you? I have arrangements for today." Bai Xiuqi frowned and looked at the radish sprouts protruding from the basket.

"Oh, yes, you said that there is something important today, it's yours..."

"Art exhibition cocktail party." Bai Xiuqi wanted to catch him: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, just say it."

"Go, go, go!"

Jiang Chenglu's smile made people's teeth itch: "You paint the process of our love. Of course I am more qualified to appreciate it than others."

"It's too little." Bai Xiuqi sneered: "We'll be leaving in a while, you sit in the back row."

"It's only been four months since you got your driver's license, so you dare to drive on icy roads? Do you think I can rest assured?"

"Even if I've been driving all my life, you'd still say that." Bai Xiuqi patted Jiang Chenglu's cheek, then squeezed his unshaven chin: "I'm going to make breakfast now. You are responsible for cleaning yourself up. Give me Have a good face, and don't let people point to a homeless man and say it's my man, Bai Xiuqi."

"As per your order, Her Lady Queen."

Jiang Chenglu held Bai Xiuqi's right hand and rubbed the back of his hand with his stubble.

After a simple breakfast, the vehicle departed from Xuanjing Apartment at [-]:[-] am.Besides Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu, An Shande and Le Yaochun were also traveling with her.

Where are the others?

Li Kun and Fei Touman went on vacation in the southern hemisphere to watch the football, and hid giant clams in their suitcases and took them out.Huayang's body has basically recovered, and he can't wait to enjoy a new life—by the way, he abducts Shang Daxiong.Although Huayin said no, she still made her brother's light bulb without hesitation.

As for Wei Xiangtu's return to his family these days, it should be a showdown with his family in order to get together with Tao Chuan.Tao Chuan couldn't follow him because of his work, and he was out of his mind all day long.

In any case, everyone is working hard towards their expected life goals, which is gratifying.

Bai Xiuqi's painting exhibition is located in the western suburbs of the city, the modern art gallery inside the Civic Center.To be precise, the official launch should be two days later, and today is a special audience day for the preview—as the name suggests, it is only open to special groups.

Special group, people like Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu.

After returning from the wandering island, Bai Xiuqi chased Jiang Chenglu and asked him to teach him spells, seals and other related knowledge.Of course, Jiang Chenglu knew everything, said everything, and taught him everything.

After a long time, Bai Xiuqi also met many friends from "that world", and then this special exhibition came about.

Although the exhibition was held, Bai Xiuqi was not the kind of person who liked to show his face after all.So, he purposely wore a peaked cap and rimless glasses as a cover-up.However, his worries are superfluous—although the exhibition is his exhibition, it is his "accompanying family members" who attract the most attention.

"I'm sorry, the world is too small, it's hard not to be famous..."

Jiang Chenglu's hypocritical modesty, of course, only brought Bai Xiuqi's contempt.

But it's understandable if you think about it—how many real dragons are there left in this world?One more look is always earned.It seems that the mentality of monsters is no different from that of ordinary humans.

A few minutes after stepping into the venue, Jiang Chenglu was already surrounded by all kinds of monsters.It was also embarrassing for Bai Xiuqi to stay, so he took the opportunity to slip away, planning to find a secluded corner, and see when Jiang Chenglu could take the initiative to find him.

So he walked slowly, and came to the vicinity of the emergency exit, where the air is ventilated and there are sofas and benches, which is a good place to observe others.

Bai Xiuqi settled down on the bench, only to find the painting "White Flood Dragon and the Jealous Woman" hanging on the wall on the right - in the dark and damp swamp forest, a beautiful and dangerous girl hugs a white dragon head.The black hair and the white dragon scales set off each other, forming a poignant contrast.

"I'm a little envious of them, at least they have the same mind, and they can die together in the end."

A soft voice suddenly appeared beside Bai Xiuqi.

Bai Xiuqi turned his head, only to find that beside him was a handsome young man of seven or eight years old, with fair complexion and soft hair, wearing jeans and a purple hooded jacket.It's just that the coat and trousers are a bit old, and it seems that life is not rich.

And this mysterious young man is watching the scene in the oil painting with a strange gaze mixed with sympathy and envy.

Those who can come to this art exhibition are definitely not ordinary people.Since I don't know him, it should be a friend of a friend, and I don't know what category it is——

Just as Bai Xiuqi was thinking of this, he saw the young man in purple turning towards him.The two people's eyes met, not embarrassed, but Bai Xiuqi had an illusion of deja vu.

"A great painting exhibition." The young man in purple smiled slightly: "Although I don't know much about Western painting techniques, I can really feel the emotions of the characters in the paintings. I think this may be the proof of their existence. "

"Thank you, this is the best encouragement for me." Bai Xiuqi also smiled at him, and asked again: "May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Su Zi."

The young man shook hands with Bai Xiuqi: "I am Xiaohong's netizen, she sent me an invitation letter."

Bai Xiuqi suddenly realized - he did ask everyone in Xuanjing Apartment to invite relatives and friends to visit.Because of her limited cultivation, Xiaohong couldn't move freely during the day, so she invited others to come for her.

"So, you are also a ghost?" Bai Xiuqi asked Su Zi: "It's convenient to ask, which dynasty are you from?"

"I'm……"

Su Zi was about to answer when she heard someone calling Bai Xiuqi's name.

The two turned their heads to look at the same time, and they saw Jiang Chenglu leading a strange man in a suit and leather shoes, walking towards them.The scene of two tall and handsome people walking together was really dazzling.

Bai Xiuqi knew that Jiang Chenglu was definitely going to introduce this man for him.Unexpectedly, before Jiang Chenglu opened his mouth, the man's eyes widened instead, staring at the young man in purple beside Bai Xiuqi.

"Ah Zi?!" His voice was full of surprises: "It's you, it's really you... Where have you been all these years?!"
