Cat Demon and Hypnotized Urban

It's the sixth time.The little girl came over with a tray, took away Chu Yao's empty cup, and put a new one in. She caught a glimpse of his face inadvertently, and couldn't help but worry: "Did you... cry?"

Chu Yao hasn't recovered yet: "Huh?"

But the girl was taken aback by his widening eyes: "Yes...is the wine bad?"

"Ah? No, I... no, the wine is very good. Maybe... I drank too much." Chu Yao couldn't care about the wet eyes, forced a smile, "What time is it?"

The girl hurriedly took out her mobile phone to check: "Uh, it's eleven o'clock. It's still 5 minutes away."

"Thanks. It's all right."

The girl gave a timid "Oh" and ran away.

In the past, I always looked down on those stories with deep affection. Who would have thought that this would become the protagonist of the dog blood.Chu Yao closed her eyes and buried her face in her hands sadly.

Then he knew, here he is.

Han Que spotted him at a glance, and then walked towards this side.Chu Yao got up, a good-looking smile finally appeared on his face.

"Happy birthday." Chu Yao hugged him tightly, "Then... I'm sorry."

"Thank you. It's all right." Han Quin patted him with a smile.

Chu Yao almost burst into tears after being persuaded by him: "...I won't lie to you again in the future."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Han Quin lifted his face to look at it, and smiled like the warm tide of summer.Even though the gloves still had the chill outside, "Do you want to recite your letter?" "No... no." Chu Yao shook his head embarrassingly, thinking that the wine tonight might be really good, "Then, Shall we go hiking?"

Neon bright.On the late-night radio, there are emotional stories told by the female anchor and nostalgic hits from 30 years ago. Together with the taxi, they are speeding away from the city.

"Wanfeng Mountain has already been sealed off, what are you doing there so late?"

Chu Yao leaned her head on Han Quin's shoulder with a sweet face, while dealing with the chattering driver in front: "I know there is still a way to go up from the west entrance."

"It's really courageous. If you want to climb the mountain, you can go to Sichong Mountain. There are quite a lot of people going at night."

Chu Yao said with disgust: "What's the meaning of that little soil slope? It didn't even have a name decades ago."

While waiting for the red light, the master lit a cigarette and laughed: "I didn't expect you to know a lot at such a young age."

"That's it." Chu Yao raised his face, bit his lips, and looked at Han Quin affectionately.

"...Here?" Han Que turned his head to the side, as if he understood what he meant, and wanted to remind him to take care of the feelings of others, but the driver began to complain about the chaotic traffic on this road at night and the surrounding traffic. A rookie in the car, he smiled dotingly, then bowed his head and kissed him without thinking.

When the cars behind started honking and changing lanes, the master, who was stunned from the rearview mirror, started the car in a hurry.

At the foot of Wanfeng Mountain, the appearance of the taxi turning around and running can almost be described as fleeing in a panic.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then walked into the dark entrance side by side.

After walking a few steps, Han Que stopped him: "Don't you need a flashlight or something?"

Ah, yes.People can't see things at night like they can.Chu Yao was thinking dizzily, and held his hand tightly: "Me? No need, I can see. You... just follow me."

He heard Han Qun's silence for a while, and then smiled and replied "Okay".

There should be towering old trees with dead branches and leaves on both sides of the stone steps. The mountains seem to be so high that you can't see the sky at a glance, not to mention the already bleak starlight.The mountain road under his feet seemed longer and endless because of the infinite darkness in front of him.

Han Que was led by him like a blind man.He thought, the last time he came to climb Wanfeng Mountain was during the middle school spring outing, it seemed that the news of the closure of the mountain came not long after that.I don’t remember whether the official statement was due to an accident or what. I just remember that at that time, the adults were spreading rumors. It was because tourists in Wanfeng Mountain often disappeared for no reason, and most of them were lonely ghosts wandering on the mountain.

But hasn't it been propagated for many years to break the feudal superstition?

"Chu Yao?"

"Ok?"

"What do you want to take me to the mountains to see?"

Han Que felt that the person in front of him gradually stopped his vigorous pace, and then his warm breath came to his face.He heard his voice with an unfathomable smile:

"Han Que, do you believe that there are miracles on this Wanfeng Mountain?"

"Well, I've heard of it..."

"Then do you believe it?"

"I……"

In the darkness, Chu Yao took another step closer: "There are also gods and legends about ghosts. Do you believe them all?"

Han Que took a deep breath, and couldn't help supporting him with both hands: "...What's wrong with you? Why are you asking this all of a sudden."

Chu Yao smiled softly: "You don't wonder why the one who sent you the letter was a cat?"

"I thought you might have been nearby at the time. Because I said I didn't want to meet, so you..." Han Quin's thoughts were really upright, but it was human nature, "You are really good at dealing with small animals. Could it be Isn't it?"

The cold mountain road still has no end.

Along the steeper steps, Chu Yao still held Han Quin's hand tightly, walking up step by step.The other hand went into the pocket again to feel for the stone.

He doesn't believe it.He won't believe it.

He didn't even know if a creature like a cat could be trained to send a letter to someone.

How to say this again.

"Do you believe it, that's me."

I'm afraid that person would rather believe that he drank too much and was talking nonsense.Chu Yao thought bitterly.

He asked, what are we going to see on the mountain.

Yeah, what are you looking at.

Look at the bamboo forest that is now overgrown with weeds, look at the suddenly open world, look at the towering ancient trees that seem to grow on the edge of the world, look at the cave illuminated by the holy light, or the longevity in the intertwined branches?

Look at the stone pillar that seems to know everything in the world under the light, look at the faint blue light trails that flow gently on the stone wall, and see those large and small stones being lit up one by one. The polar night sky?

Watching the time pass like fine sand between the fingers, watching the passage of time, changing things and changing people.Seeing you staring at me with puzzled and surprised eyes, and then gently hugging me into your arms.Look at me sincerely and nostalgicly looking up at you, my heart is full of inexhaustible feelings and countless wanton waves, but I still can't say a word I love you.

Maybe it will.

Anticipating the scenes that were about to happen, Chu Yao stopped slowly.

Han Qun was still breathing evenly: "Tired?"

"Are not you tired?"

"Fortunately."

"You're in good health." Chu Yao raised his head and looked at the cloud-covered sky on the road ahead, "Well, we're almost there. Let's take a rest first."

Looking back on the way back and forth, the surroundings seemed to be a lot brighter. Although it was still dark, it made Han Qui feel a lot more at ease.

Like all the people who want to reveal the surprise, Chu Yao put his hands behind his back and smiled mysteriously: "I want... to give you the gift first."

Han Que was a little surprised.After all, being pulled out in the middle of the night to climb a mountain that had been sealed off for many years was already the most bizarre birthday present he had ever received in his life.

"Okay—shall I close my eyes?"

"most."

At midnight, the ancient mountain where no one else haunts.Chu Yao heard each other's breathing quietly intertwined, and then held the zero dew stone that had been treasured for many years to Han Qun devoutly.

"It can be opened."

As moist as dew, the clear and smooth stone quietly glows with lavender brilliance in the palm of your hand.It seems to be in the most beautiful fairyland, either covered with white snow, or glacial rivers, or lush green trees and spring flowers.

Just like the moment I saw it from the jewelry box for the first time many years ago, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Han Que looked at him in disbelief: "This is...for me?"

"For you." Chu Yao nodded firmly, "Its name is Linglushi."

Seeing that Han Que still couldn't reach out to pick it up, Chu Yao smiled relievedly: "How should I put it, as far as I know, there are many stories in it. There are legends about immortals descending from the earth, and there are also... about goblins." Heresies like that. If you don't believe it, just think it's a beautiful rock."

Chu Yao took Han Quin's hand, solemnly put Linglushi in his palm, and then closed it with a sigh of relief.

"You are...unbelievable."

"Don't be too busy moving." Chu Yao smiled happily, clenched the fist with both hands, as if praying, "I want you to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

Facing Han Que's serious gaze, Chu Yao's eyes wet in disappointment: "I think...you can, don't forget me. I want to be remembered by you forever. Okay?"

In this case... One day, I will be able to meet you again.
