Red roses, green leaves, a tall and serious father, stepping into the front yard of the villa, looking at his father's face full of vicissitudes of life, at that moment Xia Lei felt as if he had returned to the past, after school, carrying The schoolbag returned home. Waiting for him is a kind father and a steaming, fragrant dinner.
"Leizi, you have changed a lot." Dad looked at Xia Lei with doting and reproachful eyes, "The skin is so white, whitening? A man needs to be yellow or dark to look good, you make the skin So what are you doing for nothing?”
Xia Lei smiled, "Dad."
"What am I asking you? What's wrong with your skin?" Xia Changhe frowned, looking a little angry.
Xia Lei said, "Perhaps it's because I haven't been exposed to the sun for too long, and I've turned white." After a pause, he tentatively asked, "Why are you here? Dad, what's the last thing you remember?"
Subconsciously, he still regarded his father and the four dead members of the Zodiac Team as people from the past. In other words, it is hope. He hopes that they are people from the past, so that he can compensate them and let them survive in this world and start a new life.
"Why do you ask such a strange question?" Xia Changhe said.
Xia Lei said: "This is very important to me."
Xia Changhe said: "Let's talk about it later. There is a guest at home. You should meet him."
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, "Who is it?"
"You boy, have you forgotten me?" A man's voice came from the door of the villa's front hall.
This voice suddenly aroused Xia Lei's emotions, sadness.
The door to the front hall opened, and a fat young man walked out. He was wearing a round-neck T-shirt on his upper body, which might be stained by sweat or accidentally splashed with oil while eating, but it looked dirty anyway. He was wearing a pair of jeans on his lower body. The jeans had been washed and turned white. You could tell at a glance that they were cheap street goods. He wore a pair of Anta sneakers on his feet. Those shoes were probably worth a few dozen yuan, and they were also very old and dirty.
But these are not the point. The point is that he is Ma Xiaoan.
Ma Xiaoan was his childhood friend. They played together since childhood, got into fights together, and skipped classes together. Later, when they entered the society, they always worked at the same construction site. Ma Xiaoan's life came to an abrupt end under the wheels of that dump truck, because he was saved.
If there is one person in the earth world that he owes the most, that person is Ma Xiaoan. When he established the Thunder Horse Group, he wanted to compensate Ma Xiaoan, but Ma Xiaoan disappeared. When he became the richest man on earth, he wanted to compensate Ma Xiaoan and let him live the life of a rich man, with rich clothes, beautiful cars and beautiful women, but Ma Xiaoan was gone. In Star of Hope, when he became the leader of mankind, he also thought about compensating Ma Xiaoan, but Ma Xiaoan was gone...
Now, Ma Xiaoan was standing in front of him, looking straight at him with a friendly smile, extremely real.
Tears burst out of Xia Lei's eyes again.
"Why are you crying?" Ma Xiaoan looked surprised. He came over and hugged Xia Lei, "You must have been bullied by Jiang Ruyi, right? Hahaha!"
"What are you talking about?" Xia Lei also hugged him tightly, feeling everything about him.
"Okay, okay, it's time to eat." Xia Changhe said.
Ma Xiaoan let go of Xia Lei, took Xia Lei's hand and walked towards the villa, and then said: "Let's go, we two brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time. Let's have a few drinks today and we won't go home until we're drunk." .”
Xia Lei smiled, "I won't go home until I'm drunk."
Ma Xiaoan's arms were stretched because Xia Lei didn't move.
"Let's go, why don't you go? Come in, let's have a drink together, I want to have a chat with you, have a good chat." Ma Xiaoan pulled Xia Lei again.
Xia Lei still didn't move, but said, "What's the last thing you remember?"
"Let's talk about it at the wine table. Come on, you guy, what's wrong with you?" Ma Xiaoan was unhappy.
Xia Lei was silent for a moment, tears falling silently, "You are all fake, you don't exist."
"Leizi, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean we don't exist?" Xia Changhe was also a little angry.
Xia Lei's voice was full of sadness, "Who, you ignored one detail. If you let them appear in the dark, I might believe it. But you made this dream bright and sunny, and there were koi fish. , this is superfluous. Also, I have asked several times what the last thing they remember is, but they can't answer."
When his voice fell, Xia Changhe disappeared, the four members of the Zodiac Team also disappeared, and finally Ma Xiaoan also disappeared.
The flower-studded villa trembled, the wall bricks turned into scales, the windows turned into eyes, the doors turned into mouths, and the chimneys turned into horns. A ferocious beast head appeared just like that, its mouth opened wide, its two blood-colored eyes stared at him eagerly, and a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of its mouth.
It was obvious that just now, whether it was Ma Xiaoan or Xia Changhe, they always urged him to go to the villa to eat and drink. In fact, they wanted him to walk into its mouth and become its food.
But this is not the point. The point is that this beast head is a dragon!
The pair of antlers on its head, its eyes and mouth, its scales, everything about it matches the characteristics of the legendary dragon.
Having already seen the immortal firebird Burning Flame, seeing a dragon again would not be impossible. But seeing a dragon here, and almost being deceived and eaten by him, Xia Lei's feelings were really complicated.
Suddenly, two tears flowed down from the corners of the dragon's eyes, and an anthropomorphic voice said, "Can't you just walk into my mouth and let me eat it? My dear friend, it's really not easy for me."
It is indeed not easy, because its body is locked by stone chains one after another, close to the ground. The only thing it can move is its mouth.
In its current situation, it couldn't eat Xia Lei if Xia Lei didn't take the initiative to walk into its mouth. This seemed to be the reason why it cried in pain.
After seeing Princess Yongye's Immortal Fire Bird Burning Flame, Xia Lei had imagined the scene of meeting a real dragon, and there were several kinds, but no matter which kind they were, it was not the one in front of him.
The legendary dragon travels across the nine heavens, calling for wind and rain. How powerful it is! It is also a national characteristic of the Chinese. The Chinese claim to be the descendants of the dragon and worship it as a god. But the man in front of him was imprisoned on the ground by a stone lock. He could only move his mouth, so he needed to use deception to catch prey. It would be too miserable for a real dragon to behave like this, right
"Tell me, what kind of dream do you like? I can let you have the most beautiful dream in this time." Zhenlong looked at Xia Lei longingly.
Xia Lei also looked at the real dragon eagerly, "Then, walked into your mouth?"
The real dragon said: "You will die sooner or later, why don't you die in my mouth? Moreover, I will let you have the most beautiful dream in the world. What a romantic death!"
"Save your strength, even if I am a real fool, I will not take the initiative to walk into your mouth and be eaten by you, right?" Xia Lei said.
Two muddy tears rolled down from the corners of the real dragon's eyes again, "My dear friend, do you know how long it's been since I've eaten meat?"
"How long?" Xia Lei walked around the dragon's head and came to its neck to look at the stone lock that imprisoned it. He soon discovered that those stone locks were not simple, they were a type of stone he had never seen before, and they had energy runes on them. He stretched out his hand and touched it tentatively. The energy runes on the black stone lock suddenly glowed, and the blue energy light was so intense that it made it difficult to open one's eyes.
"Ah-ho!" The real dragon suddenly screamed, "Don't touch them!"
Xia Lei said, "Can't you touch it? I think it's okay." As he said that, he poked the stone lock with his finger.
"Ah—" the real dragon screamed again.
Xia Lei said: "You almost ate me just now, so I touched you twice, right? What's more, I'm not touching you, I'm touching the stone lock."
"My dear friend, you are so stingy. I am a dragon. Is it too much for me to eat you? No, it is not too much at all. It is too much for you to retaliate against me for something that is not too much at all... Ah !" The real dragon let out its third scream.
But this was the last time, Xia Lei didn't take revenge on him anymore. Compared to what happened just now when he was almost fooled into his mouth, his revenge was really not excessive at all. This real dragon also gave him a strange impression, completely different from the dragon he imagined. It made him feel like an old charlatan who was wandering around the market. With his mouth, he could trick sparrows from the sky into eating them.
But such a cunning real dragon is imprisoned here. How powerful must the person imprisoning it be
"Why are you here?" Xia Lei said, "You probably deceived someone, provoked them, and were imprisoned here, right?"
"Since you don't want to be eaten by me, then leave here quickly. I can't eat you, and that guy can't eat you either," said the real dragon.
"Who is that guy?" Xia Lei asked tentatively.
"You don't want to know, just get out."
Xia Lei reached out his hand and slowly reached for the stone lock around its neck.
"Well, actually..." Zhenlong saw Xia Lei's movements from the corner of his eye, and then changed his words, "You go down this river, and you'll see that guy soon. And , my name is Long Aotian, what’s your name, make a friend.”
"Long Aotian?" A strange expression suddenly appeared on Xia Lei's face.
"Is there anything wrong?" Long, who claimed to be Long Aotian, said, "Well, this name is indeed too domineering. If you don't like it, you can call me the name my mother gave me, Long Long Long."
Xia Lei, "..."
"Go quickly and go down the river. I wish you a pleasant journey and goodbye." Long said.
Xia Lei didn't move, he grinned, "You actually know that my name is Xia Lei, right? You also know what happened to me. You wanted to eat me first, then let me leave, and now you let me walk along the river . You are really a typical charlatan, what bad ideas are you planning?"
