[HP] Five Poisons

Chapter 5 Past and Present

"Let's go, I'll take you out."

After a strange silence, the man spoke, then turned around and walked out, walking at a leisurely pace, as if he was sure that the people behind would follow.

So relieved to turn his back on them.Chi Mo wrinkled his nose, but he was completely relieved because of this. Although he didn't know who this guy was, the other party did have good intentions, and he pulled Harry to follow without being pretentious.

With such an obvious protector, no one jumped out to look for trouble along the way.The man seemed to be very familiar with this place, leading them through the narrow and tangled alleys without any hesitation.

Chi Mo and the others followed behind the man, turning around and walking out of the darkness smoothly, and a spacious street appeared in front of them.

Harry couldn't hide his excitement past Chi Mo and the man, and set foot on the familiar street, "Hey! This is Diagon Alley! That's the Yila Owl Shop - Hagrid saw Hedwig there!" After finishing speaking He turned to look at the guy who had told him brazenly that they had never walked out of Diagon Alley.

Chi Mo didn't hear it, his English is not good, Harry babbled a lot, how could he understand.

Instead of looking at Harry, who was almost choked by his anger, he went around the man and looked up at the man who hadn't walked out of the alley and hid himself in the shadows. "Thank you."

"Go back, don't come here again until you have enough self-protection ability."

This sounded like a warning, but Chi Mo didn't feel disgusted.He has never been a person who doesn't know good and bad. Since there will be a powerful wizard like a man here, it means that this place is not as simple as he thought at the beginning-like all the young disciples of various factions, Chi Mo also has Adventurous and competitive, but that doesn't mean he'll be foolish.

So, he nodded obediently. "knew."

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the immature face of the young man soaked in the twilight looked more and more well-behaved.Those bright black eyes are more eye-catching than the most precious black pearls, and a little bit of starlight overflows, as if the brightest stars in the sky have fallen into those eyes.

The man's body froze almost imperceptibly for a moment, and soon returned to normal. Under the cover of the wide cloak, no one noticed.

"Let's go, the sun is almost going down." Harry became anxious, he didn't expect to waste so much time in Knockturn Alley, he still has a lot of things waiting to buy, if he had known, he would have asked Ron and the others to help bring them One copy. "Ron and the others must be in a hurry, we have to buy things quickly."

"I've already bought it." Chi Mo looked at the anxious Harry innocently, "otherwise, why would I be shopping here." It must be done first.

Harry, who was once again choked by Chi Mo, felt that he didn't want to talk to Chi Mo anymore even though he had only been together for a short afternoon!

"Aren't you going shopping?" Chi Mo blinked, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Harry: "...bye!"

"Why does it feel like he's angry?" Chi Mo muttered puzzled, was he afraid that it would be too late?But it's so late, it's time to go back to eat. I haven't eaten all afternoon, and my stomach is already empty.

"Let's go~" Chi Mo waved to the man who was still standing there.

"Goo~~~~"

"..."

"..."

Chi Mo blushed, wishing he could disappear immediately!Stomach, can't you hold on for a while longer!Didn't they all say to go back and feed you dry bread!Even if it rang so disobediently, it's fine if it rang, the key is that it was heard by others!This kind of thing!Such a shame!It was overheard!

Chi Mo felt that his whole body was going to be bad! ! !

"Want something to eat?"

This time Chi Mo is sure that the man is really smiling!

"Don't eat!" Chi Mo patted his stomach angrily, really disappointing!

"..."

Besides, if the food here was edible, I wouldn't be so hungry that my stomach growled now.Chi Mo pursed his lips. After coming here, he doesn't face two major problems every day: one is the language barrier; the other is that he can only eat dry bread.I really feel sad thinking about it.

"...Why can I only eat dry bread?"

Before noticing that I had already expressed the grievance in my heart, I answered casually, "Apart from dry bread, what else can I eat?" After speaking, I felt wrong, and raised my head in surprise, "Do you understand?!" Just now He spoke the Central Plains dialect, and the other party not only understood it, but also spoke it. More importantly, his pronunciation was very authentic, not at all like Professor Flitwick's, with an obvious accent.

"You are from the Central Plains?!" In desperation, Chi Mo grabbed the man's cloak directly, trying to take off his hood, eager to see his face clearly.

The man's reaction was quick, he restrained Chi Mo almost instantly, and grabbed his wrist.

Chi Mo, who was stimulated by the coldness of the palms that caught him, shivered unconsciously, and because of the biting chill, his reason came back, and he recognized his current situation. It exploded.

The strange thing is that the man restrained him casually, but he didn't look angry, nor did he do anything to him, he just shook his head.Under the hood, this action is almost useless, but because of the posture, Chi Mo is now almost leaning on the man's arms. Although he can't see the other person's face clearly, he can see his chin, and thus noticed the man's action.

No?

Chi Mo's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and all the strength in his body seemed to be taken away at the moment the man shook his head.Staring blankly at the cloth in front of him, the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red.

That's right, it's already an accident that I can encounter such an unimaginable thing, so how can I expect to have a companion?It's all the fault of this man, why he can speak the Central Plains dialect so idiomatically, which makes him mistakenly think that in this strange place, he has found a companion and is no longer alone.

Sensing Chi Mo's strangeness, the man hesitated for a moment, let go of the palm that was imprisoning Chi Mo, put his shoulders on him, and patted him silently.

"I want to go back...go back to the five poisons...back to the master..." Chi Mo pressed his forehead against the man's chest. It was the first time he met a stranger, and he didn't even know what the other person looked like, but he felt strangely Because of the desire to confide, or because they have never met each other before, they don't have too many worries. "Obviously I will be home soon...but somehow it was blown here by the wind...I want to go back...this is not Datang, there is no five poisons...it is not my home...I want to go back..."

The hoarse voice murmured repeatedly, such a soft voice, but it revealed infinite sentimentality and hesitation, extremely depressing.

……

I don't know how long it has passed. The stars and the moon have replaced the setting sun, and the warm red color has been replaced by the cool starlight. The bustling street has long been quiet. In the shops along the street, candles are lit in twos and threes. The long shadows twisted with the beating of the candlelight, like strange paintings.

The boy in his arms finally calmed down.

The man patted the top of the boy's hair lightly.

"We can't change the past, so we should grasp the present."

Being gently embraced by someone, with his forehead pressed against his chest, his breath and deceptive low voice are in his ears.Obviously the voice is not loud, but it falls straight into Chi Mo's heart.

The long eyelashes trembled, and Chi Mo stared at the black cloth, thinking back to the past in Wudu, his eyes hurt so badly, and the salty liquid almost fell, but it was just almost.

The existence that I once thought would exist forever, in the future, I can only bury it deep in my memory, and I can't ask for it.

Chi Mo tried hard to suppress the soreness in his throat, and after a while, he let out a mouthful of foul air.

He still didn't raise his head, but his fingers were picking at the man's cloak, but he said dully, "I can't even recognize the words." Maybe it was because of the man's proficient Chinese dialect, or maybe it was because the man accompanied him. After not leaving for so long, Chi Mo suddenly had the desire to confide. "I don't even know what to do when I go to school."

"Because you didn't think about blending in here, you resisted it, so he also rejected you." The man didn't care about Chi Mo's small movements, as if he didn't see the piece of fabric that was picked, and his tone was as gentle as ever.

Chi Mo tilted his head slightly, a little distressed, "It's really nerve-wracking."

"Take your time, you can do it."

"I want to eat twice-cooked pork, I want to eat boiled fish, and I want to eat crab meat lion head and Wensi tofu from Xu Fulou in Yangzhou, and I want to eat kebabs at the gate of Chang'an City. The food here is so unpalatable, dark, sour and sour. Sweet, still burnt. I can only have dry bread.”

"It will be fine."

The gentle male voice gradually soothed the discomfort in Chi Mo's heart, but there were more dissatisfaction that he didn't understand - how could this guy say these words to himself in such a calm tone - in all fairness, the man is already very good , if someone else had encountered this, he would have patted his ass and left.

However, I still feel a little uncomfortable.Thinking of this, Chi Mo straightened up and moved so much that he almost hit the man's chin.

"I want to go back!"

The boy's eyes were wide open, as if with a trace of embarrassment.

The man let go of his hand kindly and let Chi Mo leave his arms.

Chi Mo puffed his face, held back for a long time, and then said in a muffled voice, "My name is Chi Mo."

The man touched the top of his hair, "Go."

Chi Mo: ...Hmph!Not to mention pulling down!Not uncommon!Angrily turned away.

On the long street, he could only hear his footsteps, but the lights pouring from the shops on both sides told him that he was not alone.

In the end, I still couldn't hold back, and secretly turned back.

The shallow moonlight spread into Knockturn Alley, making it easy for people to see the surrounding situation clearly.

There, no one was there.
