Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Predecessor

Four people and two demons walked under the night of Zhuolu City.At that moment, they all only saw the long and straight road ahead, walking with their chests upright and majestic.Although viewed from the perspective of God, they are just little mice wandering aimlessly in a maze, and the intricate streets of this city are like a huge spider web. "Master Yu, how about my back fall just now?" "Next time when you fall, be careful. If there are any water tanks, tables, stones, etc. around, just throw him to death on it. You are good, throw a fat man of 180 pounds on me !"

"The key is refreshing! Look at my movements, look at my movement!" "Hey... monster, what are you doing?" Chi You glared at the monster. "I'm splitting the money." The sprite was held in the hands of the demon, and while swinging forward without touching the ground, it broke all the copper coins in half. "Don't make such a fuss, do you? Just give us half of the copper coins." "Yeah, that's what I really think," the sprite kept breaking his hands, "Half of you, half of me... I'll give you half, half of me again, here's another half..."

"Girl, does your brother know how to count?" Yun Jin stroked Yao Yao's fluffy green hair. "It stands to reason," Qi Mei thought for a while, "hundreds of years ago he would happily tell me how many new squirrels had been added to the woods, but then there were too many squirrels, and he stopped counting them." "Stupid," Yun Jin hugged the sprite, "I've lived so long, I forgot to count, right?" "Forgot." Yao Yao showed two delicate white fangs, and answered Yun Jin with an innocent smile that made Xi Mei feel ashamed and angry.

Maybe it was because he drank some wine. In Chi You's memory, what happened later that night is very vague. He only remembers the long, long way home. West, and then the goblins also turned on the way home, and only he kept going. Many years later, he was already a madman. Sitting by the calm flowing water, when he carefully recalled a woman named Yunjin, he only remembered six backs, four backs, and the last two broken pictures of the backs.And that woman named Yunjin was always by his side, because she held his hand. The road ahead is hidden in darkness, and it seems that it will never end.Chi You turned his head quietly, and saw two long, long shadows standing side by side behind him, and the cold moonlight was reflected on the stone road.His heart was uneasy, his palms were sweating, he quietly squeezed Yun Jin's hand, and continued to walk forward with deep kicks and shallow kicks.

Where is their front?Chi You didn't know. On the roof in the distance, the girl sat on the wet thatch, dangling her delicate and slender legs, staring at a pair of shadows walking towards the distance. The green-haired kid was sitting beside him, using his round little hands to pinch the half-and-half copper plates into a whole. "What are you doing?" Qi Mei asked casually. "Isn't it fun? It's like the big deer pulling Baba in our woods!" Yao Yao held up the unrecognizable copper block in his hand to show off. "Currency is a means of circulation and social progress. It is a precious thing for human beings. Don't make such stupid metaphors."

"A very precious thing?" Yaoyao stopped, stared blankly at the sky, and then at Mi Mei, "Is Baba a very precious thing in the human world?" "Don't ask any more, you won't understand even if you tell me." Yan Mei was a little impatient again. "Mei," Yao Yao felt aggrieved and tugged at her skirt, "Why am I much slower than you in learning everything? Am I stupid?" "No, that's because you don't worry, and you don't get scared." "why……" "Shut up now!" This time, Yan Mei directly interrupted him.

"Xiaomei, let's go back to the woods." Xingmeng hummed. "Why do you want to go back?" "I don't like it here. I won't cry anymore. Let's go back to the woods." "If you want to go back, go back by yourself, I won't go back." "Why don't you go back?" "Is there anything wrong with a goblin who has lived in the woods all his life wanting to go to the city?" In the eyes of Qi Mei, the corner of the small street that the pair of figures turned around was no longer visible. "Then," Ghost hesitated for a long time, "I'll stay with you too."

"Master," Yan Mei asked the old demon deep in his memory, "Are human beings a bunch of idiots? They can only live for a mere few decades, why do they have to fight back and forth and waste their lives?" "Child, in fact, what you are looking for is not forever, never..." The old demon still smiled ugly. Chi You... Chi Mei repeated that name, determined to remember it. Her mind was full of that scene, the boy raised his long black eyebrows and clenched his delicate fists. At that moment, it seemed that the surrounding area was not a wine shop, but a battlefield of millions of swords.The young man only has fighting in his eyes, fighting to his heart's content.There was a spark in his eye, which made Qi Mei feel warm in his chest.

That young man who came towards her vigorously... Qi Mei suddenly wanted to know what he was thinking. The shadows in the moonlight are long.Chi You and Yun Jin stood on the city wall, and he felt that beside him was the most important woman in his life, so he decided to say some love words that people will never forget after all the vicissitudes. Chi You said: "The day I saw you, my shadow was very long." He raised his finger and pointed to the endless distance, "It grows all the way there." Yun Jin said, "You pointed in the wrong direction..." "Oh." Chi You's face blushed imperceptibly in the darkness.He thought that the little princess had known about his eagerness to move, but he still didn't understand this girl with deep eyes.

"Chi You, I thought you wouldn't help that monster." Yun Jin said. They held hands and sat on the battlements of the city wall, with their legs dangling outside. Outside the city, the moonlight cast a layer of silver light on the grass in early autumn, and the grass undulated in the wind. "I also thought I wouldn't help that monster." Chi You said, "I have been stupid since I was a child, always thinking about strange things, and I never dared to fight with others. When I was in Jiuli, no one dared to beat me , in Zhuolu, I dare not beat others." "I thought I wouldn't hit people..." Yun Jin whispered.

"It's a pity that your Fengxiao is gone." "I can make another one." "My mother used to have one too, but unfortunately I broke it later." "Then your mother must be very angry?" "I don't know," Chi You shook his head, "I've never met her, maybe she has a good temper and won't be angry." "Is she... dead?" "I don't know. Grandpa never said it. When I was a child, I often complained that my mother didn't come back to see me. If she was still alive, why didn't she come back to see me?" "Meteor!" Yunjin pointed to the sky and said. The slender flames cut through the sky in an instant, and the cracks in the sky were full of dazzling brilliance, like the eyes of the sky behind the sky. "Meteor... Grandpa said that whenever a person is about to die, a shooting star will fall from the sky." It seems that a long time ago, Chi You and Xing Tian stole grilled fish and lay down on the Zhuolu Field, afraid to go home. "Meteor!" Xing Tian suddenly pointed to the sky and said loudly. "Where did someone die again?" Little Chiyou felt a tinge of pity in his heart. "Didn't you listen to that dead old man in your family?" Xing Tian snorted disdainfully, "If a meteor falls and kills a person, I'll go and eat Zhuolu City right now." "How do you know it's not true?" "I used to go to the battlefield to kill people. It's very convenient to cut a large area with an axe. Why didn't you see shooting stars flying around?" Xing Tian said, "If it's true, it would be so beautiful." "Tsk, tsk, the sky is full of shooting stars..." Xing Tian began to indulge in his absurd fantasy. Thinking of this, Chi You smiled wryly. "Mom..." Yunjin suddenly called out to the shooting stars in the sky, "I'm in Zhuolu!" Before she could finish shouting, the meteor trailed and disappeared over the western peaks.Chi You clearly saw the tears running across Yunjin's face, shining with the stars, falling on the city wall and never being found again. "When I was young, my mother was very beautiful. Outside our poor city, there was a mountain called Lingyun. My mother wore snow-white clothes and stood on Lingyun Mountain singing, which could be heard ten miles away, so my father married my mother. My mother is Shaohao Among the sixteen concubines of the king, I am the first daughter, so I was carried to the main concubine..." Yun Jin said softly. "Princess Yunjin...Princess Yunjin..." The maid chased the little figure in snow-white clothes far away. Yun Jin jumped into the Huaxi River outside King Shaohao's mansion, the stream carried fallen flowers, stroking Yun Jin's feet coldly.Holding up her skirt, Yunjin jumped up in the shallow stream, every time she stepped on Luohua, she fell into the water again. Yun Jin giggled, looked up and saw someone looking at her from the opposite side of Huaxi. Yun Jin had never seen such beautiful eyes, when she stared at those eyes, Yun Jin involuntarily put down her skirt, letting the corners of the skirt float in the water. "You...is your name Yunjin?" "I'm Yunjin." The beautiful concubine held out her hand hesitantly, "Can I touch your face?" Yun Jin nodded silently. "Yunjin..." Those gentle hands lightly brushed over Yunjin's delicate cheeks. "Yunjin..." The caller burst into tears. That call actually entangled Yunjin's heart for an instant, until ten years later on a rainy day, when those cold raindrops hit Yunjin's face, Yunjin could still feel the call stretching across time. Before the maids appeared, the concubine's back hurriedly disappeared into the bushes, leaving only Yunjin touching her cheek sadly. "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Yun Jin was walking in the deep and secluded big house, and was terrified by the voice calling out from afar.There are no lamps, and no maids, only one layer after another of curtains.Yun Jin never knew that there was such a room in King Shaohao's big house, and she regretted accidentally breaking in.But there was a familiarity in that voice, which made Yunjin unable to overcome her curiosity. Twenty feet away, Yun Jin saw the thin woman in the tent.She lay there quietly like a skin-wrapped skeleton, a pair of big dead eyes staring at the roof without blinking, panting, "My lord, my lord...why didn't you come back?" Fear made Yunjin grab her skirt and try to run away. "Yunjin... my Yunjin, my lord, please give me back my Yunjin..." The call that had been entangled in Yunjin's dream firmly held her back. Yunjin's footsteps began to move towards that woman, Yunjin couldn't even hear her call clearly, only saw her lips were still moving: "Yunjin, Yunjin..." It reminded her of cold eyes, flowing stream... tears across the concubine's face. "My name is Yunjin..." Like water dripping into a dry field, the dead eyes moved, bursting out with strange brilliance: "Yunjin..." Four years later, Yunjin felt that kind of gentle gaze again, and the scene beside Huaxi still seemed like yesterday. "You are not my brocade..." The woman said, "My brocade is very small..." The maids rushed into the big house in panic, picked up Yunjin and ran out.Yunjin heard the withered woman sneering towards the roof: "Go ahead, you have already taken my Yunjin, so I won't be afraid to snatch anything else." "Yunjin, go and have a look, she is the one who gave birth to you." The majestic King Shaohao said. "It's my mother?" Yun Jin's eyes widened in bewilderment. "She's not your mother, she's just the one who gave birth to you." Three years later, Yun Jin faced the only gentleness in his life for the last time. "Mom..." Yun Jin lowered her voice, and gently hugged that bony body. "Yunjin..." The light in her eyes had already been completely extinguished, the woman groped and hugged Yunjin, like a skeleton locked on Yunjin's body, "Is it Yunjin?" "Mother……" "Finally back, finally back." Skeleton smiled softly, "Why did you come back? The king took you away for a long time." "Mother……" The woman groped in the air with a smile, "It's getting dark. When the sun comes out, mom will take you to Lingyun Mountain to see peach blossoms..." The restraint on Yunjin's body suddenly loosened, she didn't say anything, but hugged the body in her arms even tighter. The body was already cold, and the night fell quietly, Yunjin stroked the body in her arms, "Mom, the sun is coming out..." "Mom!" Yun Jin shouted to the dark sky, "The sun is about to come out!" Yun Jin turned around, her small face was indifferently beautiful, and her clear and dust-free eyes fell on Chi You's sad face. "After waiting for so many years, when the time came, my mother died." "Human," Yun Jin asked each word, "why do you want to die?"
