Chapter 15 Section 8

Two weeks ago, Jiangsu. The weather was clear that day, and when Shuen came back from the outside, even though she was covered with the scent of the vampire she had just hunted, she still didn't care and hummed a little song. Because today is my younger brother Shushi's eighteenth birthday, it is said that even the seniors of the Li family and the Ren family will come to celebrate. My father waited at the station early in the morning. After all, the two who came to congratulate are members of the elder guardian group , the background is not small. "The boy's birthday is really grand. I remember that I was sent out to chase my life on my eighteenth birthday. The world of life hunters is also patriarchal. But my father never seriously taught my brother any spells. He only let him Playing outside vigorously. Or is it that Shushi has no talent for this?" Shu En went to the bathroom to put hot water, and took off his shoes muttering.

Before washing away the traces of fighting vampires, Shuen happily hid the birthday cake he had just bought under his bed, hoping to surprise Shushi. "I'm eighteen, so it's time to fall in love, right? Last time we met on the street, the girl next to Shushi might be his girlfriend?" Shuen rubbed the foam on his hair and said to himself: "No, no. He will tell me everything about the book history." Suddenly, there were many conversations coming from outside the bathroom. Shu En listened carefully, and the voice outside the door was steady and low, guessing that Dad brought other senior life hunters.

Shu En's conjecture was also confirmed by Shu Shi's lazy greeting while stepping on slippers. "Sister, come out after washing. Let me do the washing. Dad brings two uncles here. We're going to the restaurant for dinner later." Shu Shi shouted impatiently outside the door.Eighteen years old and still an impolite brat. "It's finished washing, what's the fuss? You didn't wash it first after staying at home for so long?" Shuen kicked the door open, while wrapping his long hair with a big towel. Just as Shushi was about to step into the bathroom, his father called him to stop him.

On the long bench behind his father, sat an old man with a gray beard, as thin as a dog.At the entrance stood a strong middle-aged man with a high forehead. "Don't wash it, just go out." Father looked at Shuen and Shushi seriously, and said, "Take your cat and your weapons." "Oh my God, don't you want to celebrate my birthday today? How about living a normal life?" Shu Shi said dejectedly. He has hardly been strictly demanded by his father, and naturally he will not strictly demand himself to become a superior life hunter. What he cares most about is the little dispute with his little girlfriend at school today.

"Don't be wordy." Shuen pinched Shushi's butt, and she saw her father's eyes were much more serious than when he was training herself. "Let's go, Brother Wang." The middle-aged man with a tall forehead was surnamed Ren, and Ren did not return. He originally lived in Shenyang. "Sister-in-law won't come?" The old man with a beard covering half of his face is called Li Wuhai, an old life hunter in Shanghai. The father nodded, acquiescing that the mother, who was an ordinary person, would not go with him. The next moment, five people and five cats were walking on Jiangsu Street.

The younger brother, Shu Shi, was caught between Ren and Li with a sullen face. He walked fast, and Ren and Li walked faster. After falling, Ren and Li didn't rush, but just slowed down. At this time, the street is very lively. Taiwan’s Jay Chou is holding a farewell concert tour nearby. Various vendors gather together like a small market. The most attractive ones are the stalls selling candied haws, malt sugar cakes, and roasted sweet potatoes. , braised meat, baked eggs, soda black tea, etc., the atmosphere of the carnival. But the more lively the atmosphere, the more uncomfortable Shuen felt.

"Is mom okay? Why don't you come with us?" Shu En was puzzled, feeling vaguely that something was wrong. Father was silent.Shuen glanced at his father, and there was nothing unusual about his expression. Father stopped in his tracks, before a peddler selling candied haws. The other four people also stopped. "Book history, do you want to eat?" My father asked. Shuen couldn't believe it, this really didn't look like a strict father. But it was probably Ren Li who was always gluttonous in front of two strangers, Shushi didn't want to show his desire to eat candied haws, so he shook his head and frowned.Teenage awkwardness.

"I want to eat. Two skewers." Shu En said, his father nodded and bought from the street vendor. Shuen took it, and naturally handed a bunch of candied haws to his younger brother, who ate it without saying anything.After all, the older sister knew him best. The five followed in their father's footsteps and walked into a small alley away from the hustle and bustle.The small alleys are complicated and winding, extending slowly along the terrain. Gradually, the density of the alleys becomes sparser and more remote.But Shu En is very familiar with this, because this is a remote place where her father taught her many spells and fighting skills.

In the end, everyone came to a low-lying woodland. When they looked up, they could still see gray-white houses lined up above.It is close to the city, but it is inaccessible. Father's footsteps finally stopped, and he looked back at Ren and Li, his eyes seemed to be asking for something. I saw the two people looking around, and after confirming something, they nodded slowly. The cool mountain wind blew into the forest, and the cat under Shuen's feet trembled, and Shuen noticed something strange. The candied haws in Shushi's hand was just finished. "What are you doing, it's so mysterious." Shushi complained, what kind of birthday is this.

The old man Li squatted down, the air on his body was continuously rising, and in an instant it suddenly sprayed out around him as the center of the circle, blowing out a circle about ten feet in size, and blowing all the fallen leaves on the ground to the outside of the circle. Inside and outside, there are clear barriers. Uncle Ren nodded, holding the cat in his arms, he and Old Man Li jumped to the top of the tree one after another, on the two ends of the deliberately blown circle, as if monitoring the movement below. The father stood in the center of the circle, looking at the siblings.

"What is this for?" Shuen was wary, holding his younger brother's hand, and took a step back. There were faint tears in the father's eyes, but they disappeared in a flash, and returned to an emotionless and resolute face. "After an hour, there will only be one person alive between you," said the father calmly. Father's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more commonplace. Shuen's body shook, and he let go of his brother's hand. "In this circle, kill the opponent."
