After nightfall, it rained again.

There is no sound, and if you open the wooden window, you can smell the damp soil, and the stone steps outside the window turn black with rain, and are covered with layers of soft and thick moss.

It was very similar to the jadeite rainy night half a month ago, yet completely different.

Ji Lian couldn't sleep again.

He put on his clothes and walked into the courtyard.

The house has not been tidied up yet, they arrived in the afternoon, hastily sorted out the sheets and bedding to be used, and after a simple meal, each of them went to rest in a room. They didn't look at it carefully before, but now Ji Lian is wandering in the small courtyard, just I saw a desert.

Overgrown with weeds, only the corners and corners can be seen the traces of the previous careful trimming, such as the corner of the celadon flowerpot covered by the soil, the symmetrical shape of the low shrubs, and the pattern of the beautiful floor tiles under the weeds.

Every small scene matches the vague impression in his heart, but there is something different.

Or the ups and downs of the green hills in the distance, you don’t feel it at first sight, but when you glance at it from the corner of your eyes, you will feel how familiar the angle and slope are.

He probably stood under the eaves and looked towards the mountains many times when he was a child.

Familiar and unfamiliar details, the sweetness of surprise and the deserted scene overlap together, so that the young man is very out of date, standing here clearly, but feeling nostalgic.

Simply bad.

Ji Lian sighed silently, and didn't want to go back to bed to sleep again. Looking at the huge courtyard, he suddenly wanted to take a walk.

Maybe he just wanted to relieve his worries. If he could see a full moon in the sky at this time, he could recite a few lines of poems even if he didn't understand.

This thought made Ji Lian's lips curl up.

In Baihe Town, the Ji Mansion is not that big, there are only seven or eight houses here and there. Compared to the houses, the courtyard is surprisingly large.

Ji Lian walked among them, only hearing the wind blowing through the leaves among the leaves, and the ding-dong of rainwater falling from the tip of the eaves.

... If the surroundings were not too dark, it could be called a fairytale-like scenery, Ji Lian thought.

Then Ji Lian was taken aback by his own thoughts.

Why would he use fairy tales to describe it naturally? In fact, the ghosts in the old house should not be more suitable for the current atmosphere.

Ji Lian's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Behind the bushes not far in front of him, a blue radiance suddenly appeared, changing constantly, just like water waves.

In the afternoon, I walked through the whole house. The glowing side seemed to be a small pool.

An ordinary small pool, not deep, you can roughly see the withered and yellow water plants under the water, as if you haven't recovered from the past winter, but you can see small lotuses that are not as big as your fingernails on the edge. Ye, if you want to come to summer, you will definitely be able to see the lotus blooming in the pool.

That's...why is it glowing?

Ji Lian, who grew up abroad, suddenly thought of foreign ghost stories such as the ghost of a girl in white and the church that collapsed. With a thought, the sickle slipped into his hand.

He gently pushed aside the bushes, and before he could take a step forward, the blue light went out as if he had noticed his arrival.

"..."

The response is very fast.

Ji Lian maintained the movement of pushing away the grass and waited for a few seconds, only to see a small firefly flying over from the opposite side, making two circles around him, the fluorescence at the tail flickered, and then flew away wobbly.

"..."

and many more……

The light of this firefly looks only a little bit similar to the blue light I saw just now, okay? !In other words, there are still many points of dissimilarity, which can be said to be two kinds of light.And, to emit the light just now, at least a hundred fireflies need to add up, okay?

If the person who was here just now let go in order to divert his attention, then this person's head must be too stupid to save.

Speaking of stupid...

He frowned, anger was evident on his dark face, his froze movements slowed down, he lightly put back the shoved grass and trees back to their original positions, turned around and took steps to go directly to someone's room, but he hadn't yet When I walked out, I felt that the corner of my clothes was hanging on something.

Ji Lian turned back: "..."

What a big cactus.

Who planted it, don’t you think the painting style is different?

He hesitated for a few seconds because of the sudden change in the style of painting in the courtyard, and after venting his anger, he suddenly felt something changed around him.

It was as if he was being watched by something.

One pair of eyes, two pairs of eyes, three pairs of eyes, many pairs of eyes.

And a slight and messy voice, like tinnitus, seemed to be calling for something, but his spiritual sense was too weak to hear clearly.

The senior exorcist who taught Ji Lian to enter the industry was once helpless with his spiritual sense that he couldn't open no matter what, and later found that Ji Lian was not without spiritual sense, but that his spiritual sense was too slight, only enough for him to perceive the [opposite side] A little movement.

Simply explain, now, the sound from the [opposite side], which is invisible to ordinary people, may be equivalent to a gong and drum team playing happily. To Ji Lian's ears, I am afraid that the sound of drizzle falling on the ground at this moment is not as loud as it is. superior.

If he felt tinnitus, wouldn't [opposite side] be noisy right now?

Are there too many abnormal guests in the small yard?Far more than a house that has been abandoned for 15 years should have.

Keeping this unusual in mind, Ji Lian finally decided not to act rashly.

He stood quietly in the same place for a while, making sure he didn't feel any malice, and worried that he couldn't see it, so he could only pack up the scythe and return to his room.

"Let's go."

"Yes, let's go."

"He's gone, Suicune-sama."

"Master Suicune can come out now."

The grass and tree demon spirits blatantly reported the news because someone could not see or hear.

Hearing the shouts of the demon spirits, there seemed to be something swimming in the quiet pool. The thing gradually approached the water surface, and finally fully revealed its figure.

A small white carp.

The white carp is no more than the size of a palm, its body is snow white, its fins and tail fluttering in the water are bright water blue, the closer to the tail, the darker the color, the tip of the tail looks almost dark blue, so delicate and lovely.

Seeing that Ji Lian had left, the white carp poked its head out of the water, and let out a long sigh in the air in a gesture that ordinary carp would never do.

"It was a good chance not to be caught, it scared me to death."

"Master Suicune~"

"Why is Suicune-sama hiding?"

"Is Suicune-sama playing hide-and-seek with the little lady?"

"Hide and seek? I want to play too!"

Yu Libai sank himself into the water silently, his tail wagging in frustration.

"I didn't play hide-and-seek with that kid."

"Huh? No?"

"Then why don't you see the little madam?"

"Is there a fight?"

The demon spirits persisted in questioning, vowing not to give up until they got an answer.

But Yu Libai came over in the middle of the night and wanted to talk.

"I ask you a question, and you must answer it truthfully."

"Definitely answer!"

"Answer truthfully!"

"Liar is a puppy!"

The carefree demon spirits couldn't understand Yu Libai's tangled expression—what kind of expression does a fish have—seeing Yu Libai's long silence, they all began to urge.

A certain water god asked the first question helplessly.

"I suddenly feel that I feel sorry for the Ji family kid. Do you think I'm sorry for him?"

"what?"

"Have it?"

"Master Suicune, we don't know what you did, how do we know if you have done anything wrong to my lady?"

"That's true." Yu Libai realized that he had indeed asked the wrong person, and then found that he had no one else to ask, so he could only continue to kiss, "Then, if I really feel sorry for him, what should I do?"

"Apologize first!"

"say sorry!"

"You can't just talk, you have to do it!"

The demon spirits put forward their opinions one after another, and one of the young demon spirits who had been silent all this time interrupted suddenly.

"Don't mortals say that there is a fight at the head of the bed and peace at the end of the bed? It's fine for Mrs. Shui Jun to stand at the end of the little lady's bed."

This proposal was approved by the demon spirits.

"That's right."

"good idea."

"Master Suicune, would you like to try it now?"

"..." Yu Libai, "The relationship between me and that kid is actually different from what you think..."

"Hey?"

"what?"

"ah?"

The young demon spirit who made the proposal just now asked weakly: "So, is this where Master Suicune is sorry for the little madam?"

"So saying..."

"I feel so too……"

"It makes sense..."

Yu Libai: "...Hello."

All the demon spirits were silent for a moment, crying in unison.

"Woooooooooooooooo Lord Shui-kun is a big villain!"

"..." Yu Libai.

Things like fame seemed to be gone forever with him.

It was still raining at night, and Baihe Town tonight was extremely lively due to the return of some people.

***

After waking up the next day, Ji Lian and Yu Libai looked at each other with huge dark circles under their eyes.

They stood on both sides of the table. On the table were hot porridge steamed buns and a small plate of pickled mustard, which looked bright and delicious.

Yu Libai was setting his chopsticks, and when he saw Ji Lian, he immediately smiled, "Good morning, Ji Lian."

Ji Lian looked at the breakfast on the table, "You were earlier."

"Hahahaha I went to bed early last night, so I woke up at the fourth watch today."

"Really?" Ji Lian looked at him, "You look more like you didn't sleep last night."

"Haha, ha, Ha Xin is not used to the bedding, and indeed he didn't sleep well, Ji Lian, you look the same too."

Yu Libai rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, looked at Ji Lian's eyes that seemed to understand everything, and couldn't help guessing: Could it be that he knew something?

No, definitely not, qaq

Comforting himself in his heart, Yu Libai regained his vitality and asked, "Why didn't Pei Ji come down?"

"daytime."

"Didn't he also get up during the day before?"

"Hurry up."

"yes……"

Looking at Ji Lian who answered him with two words again, a certain water god felt tired and did not love him.

"You..." Ji Lian said suddenly.

Yu Libai blinked, indicating that the sentence was too short for him to understand.

"……not going home?"

A certain water god was taken aback.

Yes, he has a house in Baihe Town, so he should go back to his own house.

The problem is that he hasn't figured out how to make up for Ji Lian's lost childhood, he doesn't want to leave at all.

He racked his brains for reasons to continue living in the Ji Mansion.

"Ah, that...well, ah, speaking of it...by the way, my house is broken, so let's take Brother Yu in temporarily."

"..." Ji Lian.

The long chopsticks he just picked up made an overwhelmed creaking sound.

You, um, ah, that's the reason you came up with for nearly a minute? !

Last night, the one with the low IQ who released the fireflies was definitely the guy who didn't run away.

... so stupid that people don't want to expose him.

Ji Lian silently mixed the mustard into the porridge.

Yu Libai, who was opposite him, was beaming with pride, as if he had come up with a plausible reason, "If you don't speak, you agree, right?"

Ji Lian's veins burst out.

I really want to give this guy a good beating, it seems that he really deserves a beating.

Just as he was hesitating, the door outside the house was suddenly kicked open.

"People inside, get out of here!"
