Those years when I was taken away by the boss

-Xiaojing's birthday is here, she is already a ten-year-old kid~

The post-it note on the wooden door of the small house reads.

It was dawn, and Bai Jing got off the bed lightly.

Afraid of disturbing the sleeping person, he even breathed very lightly.

There are two simple little people drawn on the warm yellow sticky note, the big one is smiling happily, and the small one has a crown on his head, with a cool expression.

Qu Lan's post is not high, just right where children can see it.

Bai Jing stopped for a few minutes, and touched the villain's smiling face with her fingers.

He turned to look at the person on the bed.Qu Lan turned sideways, with her hands on the quilt.

Bai Jing watched for a while before going out, and closed the door lightly.

The person who fell asleep quietly opened his eyes, looked at the wooden door that had been in disrepair, and slightly curved the corners of his lips.

Bai Jing doesn't like to be in contact with people, and always likes to close herself in her own world, but as long as he can feel love, he will respond clumsily to the other party.

Qu Lan believes that one day, Bai Jing will have normal emotions like other children.

It was nearly evening, and the wooden door of the hut was finally pushed open.

Qu Lan put the things in her hands on the bed, walked up to Bai Jing and squatted down, and said with a smile, "Xiao Jing, happy birthday."

Bai Jing looked at him through the dim light, looking very seriously, as if she wanted to keep this person firmly in her mind.

After a while, he also smiled slightly.

The usually indifferent child smiled like the ice and snow had just melted, and the snow piled up in his eyes was instantly melted by warmth.

Feeling warm in her heart, Qu Lan took a hand that was one size smaller than her and walked to the bedside, and handed the gift she had prepared for a long time to Bai Jing.

Holding the quiver, Bai Jing was speechless for a moment when she saw that it was full of arrows.

He has no arrows. Archers at the lowest level are not worthy of high-level long arrows. He only has a wooden bow that is like a fake.

You know, a bow without arrows is not as useful as a dagger.

The quiver is full of long arrows of standard specifications. If you look carefully, you can still see the traces of cutting. The shape of the arrows is an irregular triangular pyramid, and the tip can break things.

Bai Jing never told Qu Lan that she needed to make arrows, and she didn't know how the other party found out.

Holding the strap of the quiver, he said after a long time, "Thank you."

Qu Lan rubbed his hair with a smile: "Then Xiaojing, can you call me brother?"

By nature, Bai Jing doesn't like to be close to people, and he seldom yells out intimate names. Qu Lan feels that if he wants to change a child's personality, the first step is to start from the side.

Before his family was robbed, he didn't have much contact with Bai Jing, so he didn't know if he could call his brother at this moment.

Bai Jing remained silent for a while, he kept pursing his lips, hovering on the verge of hesitation, unable to utter the simple words.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't call." Seeing his embarrassment, Qu Lan didn't insist, and took his hand to the prepared cake table, "Let's cut the cake."

The white cake embryo is decorated with a few strawberry-flavored flowers, and you can still smell the aroma of cake and jam when you get close.

The cake was not big, Qu Lan divided half into a plate and pushed it in front of Bai Jing, propped his chin and smiled, "Try how it tastes."

Their current conditions are not good, and their financial income is all supported by Qu Lan. Bai Jing still doesn't know how he made money.

Qu Lan never mentioned it, nor would he ask.

As long as he ranks high in Sly Arrow, the two of them can get out of trouble.

So he's been working on it.

Bai Jing slightly hugged the quiver in her arms.

With arrows, you have the capital to fight with people.

He clenched his fingers a little, but he felt an obvious gap under his fingertips. He looked down and saw the word "thousand" engraved on the wooden quiver.

A thousand words have many meanings.It can represent a thousand arrows, and when Bai Jing runs out of a thousand arrows, no matter what they are used for, his strength should be improved to a higher level.

Thousand characters also represent Qu Lan's wish.

I wish his little Jing to go through a thousand sails and keep his original intention when he returns.

He doesn't know what kind of organization Sly Arrow is, but he has heard some rumors.It's hard for Bai Jing to have sympathy for others, and if she joins another organization like this, she will be even more indifferent.

Qu Lan never asked Bai Jing what his thoughts were and why he joined such an organization.

Bai Jing must have her own reasons for joining the Sly Arrow, maybe it's because she likes archery, or maybe it's for other reasons.

Qu Lan only hoped that he would be fine and not turn into a cold-blooded and ruthless killing machine.

Coming out of his heavy thoughts, Qu Lan saw Bai Jing's eyes shining with light, and secretly thought that he was always prone to overthinking.

This was just the beginning, but it was the part that Shu Shi remembered most clearly.

All of Qu Lan's memories were unsealed that night and poured into his mind.

Bai Jing softly called "Brother" many times after he fell asleep, but didn't know that he was not asleep at all; Bai Jing deliberately changed clothes before going home, just because he was afraid that he would know that the wound pierced by arrows under the bloody clothes hadn't recovered yet. heal.

There were many more in the years that followed.

The true rules of Sly Arrow, Bai Jing who always returns home covered in blood, Bai Jing who is becoming less and less human day by day, the strange disease of the Qi family, the reason why the Yin clan suffered catastrophe...every story All of them were returned to him.

Shu Shi has been looking at the ceiling since he woke up.

As Zhong Ruji said, after one night, he will fully understand his mission goal.

What he said yesterday was nothing more than self-deception, he just didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to be forced to accept the idea that "Bai Jing must be killed".

Qu Lan takes care of and loves Bai Jing wholeheartedly, and Bai Jing is also repaying his dedication with her own actions. The two are brothers who share weal and woe... What is he?

He is just an outsider inserted in the space, why should he replace Qu Lan?And why use Qu Lan's identity to do things that hurt Bai Jing?

Shu Shi thought almost masochistically.

Funny to say, he didn't struggle with the choice of whether to do something to Bai Jing.He put himself in Bai Jing's shoes, the more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he was.

He was originally a villain, but he wanted to be a good person.

Shu Shi sat up, the half cup of milk left by the bedside table had been left there since last night, he took two cups and poured out the excess milk.

When rinsing the glass, he lowered his eyes, his eyes full of thoughts, complicated and unpredictable.

Empathize with the original owner, and the influence ability can at least reach more than half.

Zhong Ruji also got all of Qi Xie's memories last night, he tried his best to suppress it, and then suppressed the killing intent that filled his heart.

Combining Qi Harmony's memory, his mission goal is clearer.

The Qi family has suffered from a genetic terminal disease since their ancestors.

All the bloodlines of the Qi family can't live past thirty.From the month before the deadline, a conspicuous red line will appear around the necks of descendants of the Qi family who are running out of life.

The closer you are to death, the darker the red line will be. When there is only one day left, the red line will turn black, indicating that there is no way to recover.

This strange disease is rooted in the Qi family's bones like a curse, and hundreds of thousands of people can't reverse the bad luck of premature death.

But there are special groups of people like hermits in this world.Not long after Qi Chu came to power that year, he pried out the news about the hermits from a snake catcher in the market. Passed by and told the location.

White hair and red eyes, the blood is more poisonous.Qi Chu, who got the news, gathered people without stopping, and found the residence of the Yin people that night.

The massacre a few years ago was initiated by Qi Chu.

No one can bear the sins of souls except him.

Zhong Ruji sorted out the task context, put on a coat after washing up and went out.

"Knock button." There was a knock on the door.

It became a habit for Bai Yiqing to open the door, now he ran to open the door without asking who it was.

When the door opened, it was Qi Harmony.

Bai Yiqing nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

At least not some miscellaneous people.

"I'm looking for Qu Lan." Zhong Ruji said directly.

"Brother Lan?" Bai Yiqing looked back, a little strange, "It seems that Brother Lan hasn't woken up yet."

"Come in first, we don't like to lock the door, you can go in and take a look, but don't disturb him." Bai Yiqing specially instructed.

However, while he was talking, Zhong Ruji had already gone to Shu Shi's room.

As soon as Bai Yiqing finished speaking, there was the sound of the door of Shu Shi's room being closed, accompanied by the sound of the lock being locked.

Bai Yiqing: "..." Good guy, you can do it.

There was so much unhappiness just yesterday, Zhong Ruji didn't believe that Shu Shi could sleep so peacefully, let alone sleep until the sun was high, he was fine if he didn't hold on to sleep.

Obtaining memory is equivalent to sentencing Bai Jing to death.

The two are well aware of this.

When Zhong Ruji opened the door and went in, Shu Shi was indeed lying on the bed, apparently sleeping, but his breathing rate was irregular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

Just pretending to sleep.

Zhong Ruji walked over, the footsteps were not loud.

He sat on the bed, intending to lift the quilt, but it was impossible for someone to let him succeed.

A corner of the quilt was lifted, and Shu Shi immediately stretched out his hand to hold him down. His voice, which hadn't been opened all morning, was still hoarse: "What are you doing?"

"See if you're awake." Zhong Ruji withdrew his hand and said very naturally.

Shu Shi sat up with his hands on his side and leaned against the head of the bed, expressionlessly said: "Oh."

"I'm awake." He said again, "So what's the matter?"

As the night passed, Zhong Ruji didn't know if he really provoked him or what, Shu Shi's attitude suddenly changed back to when they first met.

To be honest, it's a bit uncomfortable.
