Burning fire

"The boy said he had never seen a female beggar before." Zhang Jueming came out from the yard and went to find Zhou Qizun and Lin Juan behind the big tree.

"Really?" Zhou Qizun immediately frowned and asked Zhang Jueming.

Lin Juan didn't understand why Zhou Qizun asked more questions—since Zhang Jueming came out safe and sound, and there was no fight inside, could he still lie to them?

"Hmm." Zhang Jueming lowered his eyelids and said, "I asked him, and he said he had never seen it. From the outside, there is nothing unusual about that boy. But he has a cleft lip."

"Hare lips?" Zhou Qizun's brows still did not loosen.

Zhang Jueming knew that Zhou Qizun was very thoughtful, if he wanted to hide something from him, he must not be too deliberate, sometimes it would be easier to show his feet if he lied too quickly.

Zhang Jueming deliberately turned his head and looked at the gate of the courtyard: "But I still think this courtyard is very strange, we have to guard against it."

"This place is too remote to be suitable for people to live in. Besides, the young man, I think he should live here alone, which is unreasonable." Zhang Jueming has reason and evidence, "There is also sacrificial music, which is not something young people would listen to. s things."

"En." Zhou Qizun finally nodded.

Zhang Jueming breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "There are too many doubts. But let's go back first. Since we are all from the town, I think we can go back and ask Aunt Zhao."

"Alright." Zhou Qizun finally frowned, "We've been out for a long time, and Aunt Zhao will be worried and suspicious."

"Let's go. You still follow me, Zhou Qizun walks in the middle." Zhang Jueming said and walked back.

"Going back now?" Lin Juan followed, muttering.

This courtyard is indeed weird, but it is not a serious clue. Is it really appropriate for them to go back like this?

But from a conservative point of view, Guo Qingxuan is not here, he is a half-assed person, and Zhou Qizun is even more incompetent as a mortal. They only have Zhang Jueming's fighting power. Ming.

With a bottle of Zhang Jueming's blood in his pocket, Lin Juan obediently obeyed his orders, told him to go east and not west, and obediently followed Zhang Jueming.

After walking for a while, Zhou Qizun in the middle suddenly slowed down a few steps. He tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Lin Juan behind him, "Lin Juan, sometimes I think, if I'm also a demon, or a descendant of some kind of ghost. .”

"......what?"

Zhou Qizun's sudden speech was inexplicable, and Monk Lin Juan Erzhang couldn't figure it out: "Why?"

Why doesn't Brother Zhou want to be a man anymore?

"If I were..." Zhou Qizun smiled carelessly, squinting his eyes to look at Zhang Jueming's back, "I wouldn't have let him in just now."

After speaking, Zhou Qizun quickened his pace again, leaving Lin Juan behind in a daze.

Lin Juan could only think of the most superficial and superficial meaning of Zhou Qizun's words—Zhou Qizun was worried about Zhang Jueming.

That's good.Lin Juan felt more at ease—it seemed that Brother Zhou would no longer be at odds with Mr. Shangui over the word "dump".

Or how to put it bluntly and without a heart, he deserves not to be able to eat hot food.

.

After returning to Zhao Ting's place, Zhou Qizun immediately asked Zhao Ting about the yard.

"You said that, if I remember correctly, it's the yard of Lao Ma's house."

Zhao Ting recalled: "About ten years ago, the old couple of Ma's family moved there with a little grandson with a cleft lip."

"Hare lips?" Zhou Qizun and Zhang Jueming met eyes.

——It seems that the little grandson of Lao Ma's family is the boy I saw today.

"Yes, poor child, born with a cleft lip." Zhao Ting said, her face a little moved, "His mother was too young at that time, she was just 20 years old, she hated being born with a disability, and she left home and remarried within a few days. No news either."

"The child's father is not in the local area. He is not a family-oriented person. He has been fooling around all day long, leaving his parents and children alone, and he has not been able to find anyone for many years."

Zhao Ting: "Little Boyuan...that child should be called Ma Boyuan."

"Because of his cleft lip, no children in the town like to play with him, and his parents are not around. After a long time, the child is withdrawn, and he will not go to school at the age of seven or eight. Then his grandma and grandpa sold the previous house and went to that place. I live in a remote place. It should be to make Xiao Bo less seen and ridiculed."

"Why are you laughing? What's wrong with the natural hare lips?" As a real rabbit, Guo Xiaotong couldn't help but interject.

"Xiaotong, not everyone is as kind as you." Zhao Ting sighed, "People are looking at beauty and ugliness. And sometimes, even if it's not ridicule. It’s not aimed at anything, but the child is so young and sensitive, and he can’t bear it.”

Guo Xiaotong touched his mouth subconsciously, and didn't speak any more.

"Hey? That place is so remote, how did you get there?" Zhao Ting couldn't help asking.

"Oh, Aunt Zhao, you also said that there are strange things in the town, and we are also curious, so let's take a walk today." Zhou Qizun smiled and covered it in a flat tone, "Outsiders don't know the way, and they accidentally saw the yard and Ma Boyuan. .”

"Have you seen Ma Boyuan yet?" Zhao Ting was a little surprised, "That kid hasn't come back for a while."

Zhao Ting: "About his twelfth or thirteenth year, his grandfather left, and his grandmother has been taking him with him since then. But since two or three years ago, no one in the town has seen Ma Boyuan. He seems to have gone to other places. Going to school. Especially in the six months after his grandma passed away, no one has heard about Ma Boyuan, and there is no way to get in touch. Even his grandma's body was cremated at the mayor's expense, so I went there."

"When did Ma Boyuan's grandma die?" Zhou Qizun grasped the key with his ears moving.

Zhao Ting thought about it carefully: "About half a year ago, last autumn."

Strange things happen in the town, and there are always seven days when people die, and it also started half a year ago!The time is right!

Zhou Qizun then asked: "How did she die? Is it sick?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but the person died outside and was found in a ditch." Zhao Ting felt uncomfortable when she thought about it, "It's very pitiful."

Zhou Qizun was silent, he looked at Zhang Jueming, but Zhang Jueming didn't look over, just lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, don't ask me any more." At this time, Guo Qingxuan came over with a plate of scrambled eggs and put them on the dining table, "You have been around for a long time, hurry up and eat."

Guo Qingxuan smiled at Zhao Ting: "Aunt Zhao, don't be surprised. They are soldiers with occupational diseases. When they encounter something wrong, they wake up. Does it scare you?"

When Guo Qingxuan said this, Zhou Qizun knew he was done, so he didn't ask any more questions. He also smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhao, I shouldn't have asked. I'm just too curious."

"It's okay." Zhao Ting set the table and chopsticks. "I'm used to it. Dongyang used to be like this. When I encountered something that I didn't understand, I kept asking and meddling in other people's business."

Zhao Ting said softly: "You soldiers always charge forward, your temper is there, you are used to rushing."

The air was instantly quiet, and no one made a sound for a few seconds.One can hear it with ears, there is a heavy thought in Zhao Ting's words.

"Okay, let's eat." Zhao Ting greeted, "Hurry up, Xiaotong, go wash your hands."

"Okay!" Guo Xiaotong jumped up from the stool.

This is an auspicious rabbit, although it is of no great use, it is No. 1 for adjusting the atmosphere.Following her funny jump, everyone's mood was not so low.

.

The afternoon was relatively leisurely, and no one went out again.

Guo Qingxuan had been watching TV with Zhao Ting in the house. Lin Juan wanted to tell her about what happened this morning in detail, but couldn't find a chance.

Lin Juan was a little anxious.After all, Guo Qingxuan is also their second combat power, so they still need to know the situation immediately.

He walked around in the yard, glanced at the window of Lei Dongyang's house from time to time, and then sighed.

"Hey, Lin Juan." Suddenly a little white rabbit jumped up on the window sill.It's Guo Xiaotong.

Lin Juan stared at the three-petal mouth that was uttering human words, and was startled: "Why did you change into your original body in broad daylight?"

"It's comfortable to change into the original body. I'm a shallow person, and it's always difficult to maintain my human body." Guo Xiaotong's ruby ​​eyes.

"...You..." Lin Juan was poor at words, and didn't know what to say to be powerful.He quickly looked around, but luckily there was no one around.

Lin Juan quickly hugged Guo Xiaotong, no, the rabbit, from the window sill, "Then you go back to the house and lock the door to change. You are still in the yard. You are too courageous. What should you do if others see it?"

"No one, I want to bask in the sun." Guo Xiaotong lay in Lin Juan's arms, not paying attention.

"Talk down!" Lin Juan lowered his voice, really subdued.

"With your power of observation, no one will be able to detect it."

Zhang Jueming's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, which frightened Lin Juan. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously hugged Guo Xiaotong tightly... Rabbit, Feng quickly took a few steps back, turned around, and then He stammered hopelessly: "Big, big, my lord! Where, where did you come from, my lord!"

Zhang Jueming pointed to the roof: "Above."

Lin Juan: "..."

Zhang Jueming frowned slightly: "What are you doing in the yard? Why is Guo Xiaotong still in his original form?"

"My lord, I was wrong." Guo Xiaotong's red-eyed tricks are so good at looking at faces, he hurriedly took the lead, admitted his mistake at the first time, and then slipped into the sleeves of Lin Juan's spacious windbreaker.

"Hey, don't..." Lin Juan couldn't get Guo Xiaotong out in front of Zhang Jueming, and fight with a rabbit.

He could only be deflated, turned around and smiled embarrassingly.

Zhang Jueming: "..."

Ugly people are not easy to laugh at, but Lin Juan laughed so hard that Zhang Jueming forgot what he wanted to say.

"My lord, I wanted to find Sister Qingxuan, but she was always with Aunt Zhao, and I couldn't find a chance to talk to her," Lin Juan said.

Zhang Jueming nodded and understood: "You want to tell her what happened in the morning."

"Hmm." Lin Juan responded anxiously.

Zhang Jueming stretched out his head and glanced into the window. It happened that Guo Qingxuan was also looking out, and he briefly met Zhang Jueming's eyes.

"Don't worry." Zhang Jueming looked away, "She knows it well."

Zhang Jueming: "I'll find a chance to talk to her in detail at night, don't worry."

"My lord, is there really nothing in the yard?" Lin Juan was still worried.

Zhang Jueming paused for a moment, then smiled lightly: "I haven't found anything yet. Well, you take Guo Xiaotong back first, she will become her original body, it's not good to be outside."

"Yeah." Lin Juan was obedient, and went back to the house first with the silly rabbit in his sleeve pocket.

When Lin Juan entered the house, Zhang Jueming stood in the yard for a while.

After the sun warmed Zhang Jueming's vest, he suddenly walked to the northeast corner of the courtyard and knelt down on one knee.

One palm of Zhang Jueming was pressed against the ground, and with his palm as the source, a breeze seemed to be felt on the ground, the surrounding dust was slightly raised, and a light flashed quickly.

The wind extinguishes the dust.Zhang Jueming stood up, turned around and entered the room.

"What were you doing in the yard just now? Another barrier?"

Zhang Jueming walked to the door of the house and saw Zhou Qizun leaning against the door with his arms crossed, standing waiting for him.

"Almost." Zhang Jueming said in a low voice.

Zhou Qizun stared at Zhang Jueming for a while, then suddenly grabbed Zhang Jueming's arm vigorously, he quickly turned around and pushed open the door, stuffed Zhang Jueming into the room, and kicked the door shut with a "bang".

"Zhou Qizun..."

Zhou Qizun slapped Zhang Jueming on the wall, squeezed Zhang Jueming between the wall and himself, and called out: "Jade Ming."

Zhou Qizun was very close to Zhang Jueming. He grabbed Zhang Jueming's left and right forearms with both hands, pushed his knee into the middle of Zhang Jueming's thighs, tilted his head suddenly, opened his mouth, and made a gesture to bite Zhang Jueming's earlobe Actions.

Zhou Qizun clearly felt a sudden spasm in Zhang Jueming's arm.

Zhou Qizun chuckled softly in Zhang Jueming's ear, stretched his neck back, bent down and lowered his head, and put his ear on Zhang Jueming's left chest.

"Sure enough, my heart is beating very fast." Zhou Qizun raised his head and pinched Zhang Jueming's arm more forcefully. He stared at Zhang Jueming for a moment, his face sank.

Zhou Qizun felt distressed.I really felt a slight pain in my heart.He said softly, "Jade Ming, do you know what expression you have now?"

Zhou Qizun: "If you reject me with your current face, I promise I will kill you immediately."

The author says:

Is anyone against it?Hahahaha, it's so funny, Lao Zhou is such an inch thing (the ferocious turtle is attacked by pretending to be domineering?), I promise I won't weigh myself if I have that ability before.

Later, the author was beaten up by Zhou Qizun.
