Xie Fei, who considered herself to be able to speak well, was at a loss for words. He listened to Yan Lai ramble about the recent encounter and the various inconveniences after the awakening of the bloodline, and found that the other party did not need comfort, just venting.
Therefore, he was only a quiet listener and rarely expressed his opinion.
Until Concubine Xiang came over, twisting her waist: "Boss, Mr. Yan, breakfast is ready."
Perhaps the psychological shadow left at the beginning was too deep, Yan Lai was a little afraid of Concubine Xiang, and at this moment, he didn't dare to be hypocritical anymore, and obediently followed the other party to the restaurant.
After being seated, Yan Lai found that he was the only guest, and there were three more... demons sitting across from him. Very restrictive anyway.
In fact, he still had a lot of questions to ask, but in such a situation, he was too embarrassed to ask.
But Xie Fei didn't have so many scruples. After drinking a glass of milk, he moistened his throat: "Is the person in the picture yesterday your former owner and boss?"
Concubine Xiang: "Pfft—"
Afu: "Pff—"
Seeing the employees pour porridge together, Xie Fei confirmed her guess.
He always felt like he was being driven by fate from the time he passed through the book to inheriting the inn. Now he suddenly dreamed of the former owner of the inn, which made him have to wonder what relationship the other party had with him
Reincarnation
offspring
Or the heir
Xie Fei's gaze swept across Concubine Xiang and Ah Fu who were still sluggish. Judging from their attitude towards him, they did not regard him and the former master as the same person, but they always tried to verify a certain person from him. some contacts.
This also means that Concubine Xiang and A Fu also have no answers and are also looking for answers.
"How did you know?" Concubine Xiang gradually returned to her senses, suppressed the vibration in her chest, and asked regularly, "Yes, did the boss tell you
Xie Fei was a little absent-minded, thinking about how the painting came about. It was definitely not painted by Yu Li, Concubine Xiang or A Fu, but besides them, who else would know about the former master
His eyes suddenly shifted to Yan Lai, and he realized something—there is indeed an afterimage of that person in this inn, and Yan Lai is fully capable of turning what he sees into a painting.
But Yu Li said that Yan could only see the remnants of scenes from hundreds of years ago, but the former owner has fallen for at least thousands of years...
Xie Fei had a lot of guesses in her heart, and finally answered the question from Concubine Xiang: "I dreamed."
"Dream..." Concubine Xiang's expression changed little by little. Those frivolous, sarcastic, rambunctious, and ingratiating... All Xie Fei's familiar appearances disappeared in an instant, and her eyebrows were filled with extremely complicated emotions, like nostalgia, awe, something else...
Xie Fei's heart was touched, she glanced at Yan Lai, who was completely out of the situation, and vaguely talked about the dream process.
When he mentioned that Concubine Xiang had transformed into her original form, he suddenly heard a "banging" sound, and saw that Concubine Xiang's spoon fell into the bowl and splashed a few drops of porridge. Her face was like a changing traffic light, sometimes red and sometimes blue, after a while, Concubine Xiang suddenly jumped up, covered her face and staggered away.
Xie Fei was stunned by the howling from the distance, "What's wrong with Sister Xiang?"
Ah Fu was stunned for a while, "She has always been inferior to her true self."
Xie Fei: "..."
"So... what is the original shape?" Yan Lai, who felt that he was being blocked, finally summoned up the courage to interject.
Ah Fu didn't mean to help Concubine Xiang to hide it. He didn't say it before because Xie Fei didn't ask, "Naked zokor, she is the queen of naked zokor."
Naked zokor fell into deep autism. She has always regarded herself as a great beauty, but now Xie Fei has broken the truth, she just feels ashamed.
Fortunately, she has lived for thousands of years, and her ability to resist attacks is still very strong, and she recovered her vitality in less than half a day.
When she came out of the room, she saw that Yan Lai was busy working in the courtyard. The ground was full of pine roots and vines. The branches sticking out horizontally blocked the way, and there was almost no place to go.
Concubine Xiang smiled and stepped forward, "Alas, how can the guests do this kind of rough work, Mr. Yan let me come."
Yan Lai quickly glanced at Concubine Xiang. Ever since he checked the naked zokor on the Internet, he felt that Concubine Xiang was always smiling and smiling. After all, such an animal with no fashionable value, even his chicken couldn't compare. Chickens at least have nice feathers.
He couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Concubine Xiang, but he dispelled a little fear, and some thoughts were just around the corner.
"That female student... can you talk to me?"
he asked!
He actually asked!
Yan Lai was excited for a while, and stared at Concubine Xiang nervously.
"What female student?" Concubine Xiang was puzzled.
"It's that... the female student of the Republic of China." Yan Lai wanted to describe how, when Concubine Xiang said, "It's her, did you see it?"
"Um… "
Concubine Xiang smiled inexplicably, and her fingertips rolled a branch that hung down in front of her eyes, "Mr. Yan, what do you want to know?"
In fact, Yan Lai couldn't answer. Since he saw the floating corpse on the river, he had guessed the ending of the female student, but he was always worried.
Perhaps he had seen the afterimage of the other party when he was alive, and always felt that such a fresh, young and courageous life should not be silently annihilated in history, and she should be remembered.
Seeing that he was dumb, Concubine Xiang didn't ask any further questions. She half-squinted her eyes, as if recalling: "It's been almost a hundred years... I remember that at that time, Nanshan City was just occupied by Japanese invaders, and the devils had implemented a three-light policy. Burn it all, kill it all, rob it all…”
During the Japanese raids, all people in the enemy area, regardless of gender, age, or child, were killed; all houses and grains that were inconvenient to transport were burned; pots and bowls were all broken; wells were buried or poisoned.
They want to make all those who dare to resist become rootless duckweeds, helpless.
But the fire of resistance will never be extinguished. In Shaoyang Town, which has not yet been affected by the war, many people of insight have secretly raised food and transferred it to several villages under its jurisdiction through underground channels, while female students Mr. is one of the leaders of the plan.
"It's a pity that the gentleman was unfortunately arrested, and his students helped deliver the news of the food hiding place." Concubine Xiang said slowly, "The students encountered several Japanese aggressors on their way to Xining Village to find their contacts, and panicked. He showed his feet, was pursued by Japanese invaders all the way, and accidentally broke into this inn."
Yan Lai was silent for a moment, "What about later?"
"Later..." Concubine Xiang took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and lit one. "Then the war hit Shaoyang Town, and the army and people in the town fought fiercely, so she naturally went too."
Concubine Xiang took a breath and exhaled gray-white smoke, "They held on for ten days and ten nights, and eventually they ran out of ammunition and food. Ten thousand households in a town were slaughtered to a dozen or so, and all the bodies were thrown into the inner city. River, there is not even a salvage person."
Yan Lai felt chills all over his body, his brain was buzzing, and fierce hatred grew in his chest, so much that he blurted out, "Why don't you save them? Aren't you demons, you should have mana, why—"
He suddenly realized that he had said stupid things. Demons are not omnipotent. How much can they do in the face of guns and artillery? What's more, the demon has no obligation to save people.
"I'm sorry." Yan Lai apologized in a low voice.
Concubine Xiang didn't mind, and flicked the ashtray, "I'm just waiting for a little demon, and I don't have that great ability. Besides, who can we save so many people and who won't? Besides, if we didn't save them, wouldn't they win? "
All resistance and sacrifice are not meaningless. The soldiers and civilians in Shaoyang Town held off the Japanese invaders for ten days, bought time for the surrounding resistance troops, and successfully prevented the Japanese invaders from going south.
Half a year later, the rebels took back Shaoyang Town.
Seeing Yan Lai's face still unbearable, Concubine Xiang couldn't help but laugh a little: "Decades, hundreds of years, going back thousands of years, people on this land know how to resist. Even if the blood drifts and the corpses are everywhere, they can carve a way out of the sea of corpses and blood, just like the past thousands of times without giving in, standing to the end.”
"Mr. Yan, they don't need sympathy, you should be proud of them."
Yan Lai lowered his head and remained silent. For a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's her name?"
"Mei Xiangzhi."
While Yanlai was being beaten by his soul, Yu Li, who was far away from the film and television base, received a WeChat message from Yinsu, from which he obtained the logical and clear chain of evidence he had always wanted to find, drawing a complete answer to his heart. .
"Mr. Yu, the time for the endorsement signing ceremony has been confirmed," assistant Xiao Chen Xiao ran over: "I have already asked the crew for leave—"
"How much is your salary?"
"what?"
"Ask your salary."
"One, fifteen thousand, before taxes."
"Give you a salary increase, double it."
Xiao Chen: "…"
Seeing Xiao Chen stunned, Yu Li chuckled: "Don't you want?"
"If you want it, Mr. Yu, you didn't lie to me, did you? I'll take it seriously." After thinking about it, Xiao Chen couldn't find a reason for the sudden increase in salary. ?"
"Rejoice."
Xiao Chen licked his face and asked, "Can you share it?"
"I'm not scheduled for tomorrow, isn't it a happy event?"
Yu Li looked at the brilliant golden sun outside the window and waved his goodbye. He walked quickly to the parking lot with the excitement of playing mahjong, and arrived at Xining Village in just ten minutes.
On the way to the inn, he also heard various legends about the appearance of mountain gods in the village.
Dead trees sprouting overnight, dry wells producing water, and every patient recovering in a blink of an eye... Many villagers even organized to go to worship the mountain gods, and there were tourists along the way with mobile phones for live broadcasts.
Yu Li lowered the brim of his hat, picked up the deserted path, and returned to the inn without any risk or risk.
When he got upstairs, he saw Xie Fei's door was open, and the other party was sitting at the desk in front of the window with his back to him.
Yu Li coughed lightly to remind him of his existence, and the person in front of the window immediately turned his head.
The sunlight slanting in from the window painted a golden edge on the profile of the boy's face, and a halo formed on the tip of his upturned nose.
Xie Fei's eyes were brightly written with surprise: "Why are you back again?"
The word "again" made Yu Li frown, but he was in a good mood today, so he spared Xie Fei generously and walked over calmly, "What are you doing?"
"AC station sent me the anchor contract today. I'm researching it, and I always feel that the live broadcast time is too long..."
Yu Li turned his eyes to the table, picked up the contract and quickly flipped through it: "It's unreasonable, don't sign it." He pointed out a few clauses of the special overlord one by one, and Xie Fei was shocked by the rigor: "Have you studied the Fa?"
"I've been in the WTO for more than 100 years." Yu Li raised his chin slightly: "Being bound by a contract will only waste your time and energy. If you want to expand your channels, I will have a private dinner next week. The higher-ups will be there, and you can come with me."
"Really?" Xie Fei was suspicious.
Yu Li was extraordinarily good at talking today, "This time I'll let you get hot."
"Then I'll listen to you." Xie Fei was so happy that she was about to take off, but she didn't expect the gold master to suddenly be kind, "Thank you, Mr. Yu."
Yu Li nodded reservedly and said as if benevolently, "From now on, I will allow you to call me by my name."
Xie Fei was stunned and smiled lightly.
The sun shines on his eyelashes, and at this moment his eyes are smiling, his lips are smiling, and his dimples are smiling, "Brother Yu Li, you can also call me A Fei, I used to be my grandma... I mean that's what the dean of the orphanage called me. of."
Yu Li looked away unnaturally and asked casually, "What's wrong with your throat? It sounds hoarse."
"It's a little inflamed, but I've gotten better after drinking the medicine that Brother A Fu boiled."
"let me see."
Xie Fei only thought that Yu Li wanted to check his throat, although she felt inexplicable, she still raised her head obediently.
With his movements, the shadow under his jaw completely disappeared, and the slender and slender neck was exposed to the sun, which also exposed Xie Fei's most vulnerable part.
Yu Li's dark eyes became deeper and deeper, and just as he was about to touch the white to transparent skin, he saw Xie Fei open his mouth: "Ah—"
"… "
Yu Li lifted Xie Fei's chin up and closed his mouth directly for him.
Under Xie Fei's bewildered gaze, he moved his fingers to the space between his Adam's apple and his collarbone.
In an instant, all the hair on Xie Fei's body exploded. Although it was uncomfortable to be touched before, it was not like today. To describe it, it is probably similar to excessive caffeine intake - palpitations, chest tightness, and abnormal irritability.
He instinctively patted Yu Li's hand away, and when he looked at the other party, he would inevitably feel a little guilty, but he did not wait for the expected rage.
Yu Li just lowered his eyes and restrained all his emotions.
"I'm sorry... But why are you touching my neck all the time?" In fact, Xie Fei wanted to ask yesterday morning, but Ah Fu and the others suddenly appeared, causing the scene to become chaotic...
However, Yu Li answered the wrong question: "In the past two days, a crescent-shaped birthmark will grow under your throat. Don't worry, that's a normal phenomenon."
"What do you mean?" Xie Fei was stunned, and a guess flashed in her mind: "Is it not because of my illness that my throat hurts?"
"no."
"why?"
Yu Li's expression was dark and unclear. After a long time, he read out a half-white sentence: "There is an inverse scale and a diameter ruler under the dragon's throat. If a person has a baby, he will kill..."
"I don't quite understand." Xie Fei didn't really understand, but couldn't believe it.
Yu Li frowned slightly, and simply said, "It's just that there is a scale under your Adam's apple."
Xie Fei: "..."
Excuse me? !
