Straight up, I quarreled with Li Cheng Yin again. Every time we quarreled, he always ignored me and wouldn't allow anyone else to talk to me.

I thought it was boring, so I sneaked up to play. A'Du followed me, she was always by my side, no matter where she went, she couldn't get rid of her, like a shadow. Luckily, I don't hate A'Du, she is good in everything except for being a little stubborn, she can also do qigong, and she can help me drive away bad people.

We went to the tea shop to hear about the book, and the storyteller froze. He talked about how the Sword Immortal took the head of a person from thousands of miles away. I asked A'Du, "Hey, do you believe there is a Sword Immortal in this world?"

A'Du shook his head.

I also find it unbelievable.

There are martial arts masters in this world, like A'Du's golden knife, I've seen her shoot it, and it's as fast as lightning. But taking people from a thousand miles away, I think that's pure bragging.

When we walked out of the restaurant, we saw a circle of people on the street. I naturally like to join in the fun, so I naturally squeezed in to see what happened. It turned out to be a girl dressed in velvet knelt down and weeping, with a ragged mat behind her, wrapped in a straight corpse, only a stiff foot was exposed under the mat, and she didn't even wear shoes. The people around shook their heads and sighed, pointing at the white cloth with the four ink characters "Selling one's body to bury the father" written in front of her.

"Wow. Selling her body to bury her father! Dare to ask, how much does this young lady plan to sell herself?"

Everyone glared at me. I forgot I was still wearing men's clothing, so I shrank my neck and stuck out my tongue. At this time, A'Du pulled the corner of my clothes. I understood what she meant. A'Du always wanted me to cause trouble. In fact, although I was dangling around the street all day, I didn't stop him once and beat him twice. Young Master Evil sent a lost child home three times, chased him four times, and five times, except for a thief. He picked up the grass on the grass mat and gently scratched the stiff sole of the foot.

Scratch, scratch, scratch... scratch... I scratch and scratch very patiently. The "corpse" in the straw mat finally couldn't help but start to tremble. Some people shouted and pointed to the trembling straw mat, their teeth rattled, unable to speak; others shouted "Cheat the corpse"; more people were dumbfounded, standing there motionless, I scratched relentlessly, The "corpse" in the straw mat finally couldn't bear the itch. He lifted the mat and cursed, "Which bastard is scratching the heart of my feet?"

I sharply scolded back: "Who are you calling the bastard?"

He was really fooled: "The bastard scolds you!"

I clapped my hands and laughed: "Sure enough, the bastard is scolding me!"

As soon as he got up, he kicked at me, and A'Du stopped between us in a flash. I grimaced at him: "Dead liar, pretend to be a corpse, and three copper coins stand up!"

The liar was furious, and the girl who was covered in veil rushed towards us with him. A'Du has always been reluctant to fight people on the street, so he dragged me and ran away quickly.

Sometimes I don't like being with A'Du very much, because often when the interesting thing is halfway through, she pulls me as a deserter. But her hands were like iron tongs, and I couldn't break free, so I had to let her pull me and staggered all the way. Just as we were running halfway through the street among the crowd, I suddenly saw a person looking at me in front of a restaurant. That man was good-looking, wearing a moon-white robe, staring at me quietly with jet-black eyes.

I don't know why, but my heart skipped a beat. When I got to the bottom of the archway, A'Du released my hand. Dian Shun looked at the man again, but he was no longer there.

A'Du didn't ask me what I was looking at, she was just that good, she never asked anything. I feel a little uneasy today, maybe because of my quarrel with Li Cheng Yin. Although he can't beat me every time, I can always make him speechless with anger, but he will fight back in other ways, such as making others ignore me, just like I am a person who everyone can't see people. That feeling is really uncomfortable, if I don't sneak out to play on the street, sooner or later I will be suffocated to death.

I felt so bored, I bowed my head and kicked the stones, and the stones jumped and jumped, just like Cuju. Li Chengyin is a master of Cuju, the small ball is on his toes, like a living creature, allowing him to play many tricks. I didn't know Cuju, nor did I learn it, because Li Chengyin refused to teach me or let others teach me. He has always been very stingy.

With a little more force, I kicked the stone into the gutter with one kick, and with a "thump" sound, I realized that I had walked into an alley before I knew it. There are high walls on both sides, the houses here are always built very high, and there are odd switches on the wall, I suddenly feel a little creepy... It's the feeling of the hair standing up in the stamina.

When I turned around, I didn't even see A'Du, I shouted loudly, "A'Du!"

The alley was empty, and my voice echoed. I panic like never before, A'Du has been inseparable with me for several years, even when I go to the toilet, she will swish by my side. She accompanied me when I woke up, she slept in front of my bed when I slept, she never left me a zhang away without a sound, and now A'Du has suddenly disappeared.

I saw the man, the man in the moon-white robe, standing at the other end of the alley, watching me from a distance.

I was in disarray, turning around and shouting, "A'Du!"

I don't know this man, but the way he just looked at me in the street was very strange. I find it strange now that he is looking at me.

I asked him, "Hey! Have you seen A'Du?"

He didn't answer, but walked slowly towards me. The sun was shining on their faces, he was really good-looking, even better than Li Cheng Yin. His eyebrows are like two swords, his eyes are as black as gems, his nose is high, his lips are thin, but his shape is beautiful. In short, he is a good-looking man. He walked all the way in front of me, and suddenly smiled: "Miss, which A'Du are you looking for?"

Are there two A'Du in this world? I said, "Of course it's my A'Du. Have you seen her? She is wearing a yellow shirt, like a little oriole."

He said slowly: "Wearing a yellow shirt, like a little oriole - I have seen such a person."

"where is she?"

"It's right in front of me." He was too close to me, so close that I could see the light of God shining in his eyes, "Aren't you?"

I looked down at my clothes, I was wearing a light yellow men's shirt, the same as A'Du's, this person is really strange.

He said, "Xiao Feng, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still the same, nothing has changed."

I couldn't help being shocked. Xiaofeng was my nickname. Since I came to Beijing, no one has ever called me that. I blinked and looked at him a little bewilderedly: "Who are you?"

He smiled lightly and said, "Well, you don't know who I am."

"Are you sent by my dad?" I blinked and looked at him. Before leaving, Dad promised me that he would send someone to see me and give me some delicious food.

He didn't answer me, just asked me: "Do you want to go home?"

Of course I want to go home, I want to go home in my dreams.

I asked him again: "Are you sent by your brother?"

He smiled at me and asked me, "Do you still have a brother?"

Of course I have a brother, and I have five brothers, especially the fifth brother who loves me the most. When I was leaving, he cried a lot, using a whip to rip out all the sand on the muddy ground. I know that he is reluctant to let me go to such a far place.

This person doesn't even know that I have a brother, and it seems that he is not someone sent by the family. I am a little disappointed. Ask him: "How do you know my name?"

"You told me once," he said.

I told him? Did I know him before

Why am I not impressed at all.

But I don't know why, but I don't think this person is a liar. Probably because there will be no such strange liars, liars in this world will try their best to pretend to be normal people, so they won't be weird, because it's easy to reveal flaws and be exposed by others.

I tilted my head to look at him and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

He said, "I'm Gu Jian."

He didn't say anything else, as if these four words already represented everything.

I had never heard of this name at all, so I said, "I'm going to find A'Du."

He said to me, "I've been looking for three years to see you, so you won't talk to me for a while longer?"

I felt very strange: "Why are you looking for me? Why did you look for me for three years? Did I know you three years ago?"

He smiled lightly and said, "I ran away with you three years ago, so I had to keep looking for you until today. But you don't recognize me anymore."

I think he's lying, let alone three years ago, even thirteen years ago, I remember clearly. My memory is very good. When I was two or three years old, I remembered a lot of things not long after I could remember. For example, A-Niang once gave me a kind of sour fruit pulp, which I didn’t like very much; or A-Niang hugged me and watched my father return from a horse race. The golden morning light was plated on my father’s body. A golden armor, majestic and majestic.

I decided not to speak to him again. I turned around and left, where will A'Du go? As I thought about it, I looked back, that Gu Jian was still standing there looking at me, his eyes were not blinking for a moment, and when he saw me looking back at him, he smiled at me again. He had laughed at me several times, and I suddenly felt that his smile was like a layer of broken ice floating on the water, as if smiling at me was actually a very uncomfortable thing for him.
