one It is said that there is a comet in the sky that appears every seventy-six years. Every time it appears, it will bring disasters to the world. It's time for her to show up again this year. two Kanto Wanmatang. How beautiful, how brilliant, and what an enviable Wanmatang. Once upon a time, Wanmatang has become a forgotten memory?Have become the spoils of the years?Has become a resting place for dust? A wooden fence, surrounded by whole fir trees, is three feet high, extending from one end of the grassland to the other far away. The houses inside the wooden fence are as countless as the stars in the night sky.

Once upon a time, this continuous wooden fence has been submerged by weeds. The house characters inside the gate are even more dilapidated, and the inside and outside of the house are covered with thick dust. In the corner of the house, there is a dog that should have been white, but now it has become black and gray. Its eyes had lost all their quickness and dexterity, and it hardly looked like a dog anymore. This dog is probably Wanmatang's only surviving life? Ye Kai couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. —Is starvation one of the ways to end life? Not the cruelest kind, however.

Since ancient times, the most cruel, most effective, most terrible, and most primitive end of life, is it not human beings? People kill people, people kill everything, isn't it the fastest way? Ma Kongqun, the third boss of Wanmatang, Gongsun Duan who speaks well, Shen Sanniang who committed herself to the pillow of her enemy for revenge, Ma Fangling who is entangled in love and hatred... and most of them, don't they all end because of Ye Kai and Fu Hongxue? ten years. Ten years! How many people have risen in the world in the past ten years?How many people died because of fame, how many moons moved and stars sank?How many Fenghua Xueyue passed away while Ye Kai talked and laughed?

Fu Hongxue? Has he changed in ten years? Become more depressed, more lonely? Or become more indifferent to fame and wealth, more incomprehensible? Or is it still going its own way and going alone? The night sky is clear, the stars are twinkling, and a bright moon hangs obliquely on the horizon. Tonight is silent, the world is peaceful, even the summer frog that likes to croak most seems to have fallen asleep. Ye Kai sat on the ground, leaning against the flagpole next to the arch, staring at the pure night sky, looking at him, as if he was waiting for something. Waiting for someone?

Who would come to meet him in this deserted place? The breeze was gentle, as soft as a lover's hand caressing Ye Kai's sharp face. The dog crouching in the corner seemed to be caressed by the night breeze and turned sideways, enjoying it with its legs up. Seeing the puppy's actions, Ye Kai couldn't help but chuckled, and then slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the northern night sky. Ye Kai immediately opened his eyes and turned to look north. After the ray of light flashed from the depths of the northern night sky, it gradually intensified, dragging a long and brilliant tail across the sky, heading towards the endless south of Yuanbian.

comet! The once-in-seventy-six-year comet has finally appeared. No shooting star can compare to her brilliance. Although her brilliance is short-lived, it has already illuminated eternity. Although she quickly disappeared into the depths of the southern night sky, her shocking beauty still remained in Ye Kai's heart. "Beautiful." Ye Kai muttered to himself, "This kind of spectacle cannot be described as beautiful." At the same time, in a small building in a small town not far from Wanmatang, there was also a person sitting in front of the window, pushing dominoes and watching this rare sight.

three Blue sky, yellow sand. The yellow sand is connected to the sky, and the sky is connected to the yellow sand. The wind blows toward the horizon. People are already in the sky. Ye Kai seemed to come from the sky, he walked slowly along the long street, and walked towards the only restaurant on the long street. A remnant flower was blown by the wind from nowhere, as if it also came from the sky, it rolled in the wind along with the yellow sand all over the sky, and Ye Kai grabbed the remnant flower as soon as he stretched out his hand. The petals have fallen, and only the last few petals, the most tenacious, are still attached to the withered stalks.

Ye Kai looked at the residual flower in his hand, smiled, then patted the clothes on his body that should have been sent to the garbage dump, and carefully inserted the residual flower on the skirt of his clothes. Judging by his expression, he looked like a well-dressed dandy who finally put the most beautiful red flower on his valuable purple robe. Then he smiled with satisfaction, raised his head, puffed up his chest, and strode towards the restaurant.Pushing open the door, he immediately saw Fu Hongxue. Fu Hongxue and his knife. Pale hands, black knives. Dark as death. ——Is paleness also close to death?

Knife in hand. From his knife, Ye Kai saw his hands, and from his hands, he saw his face. His face was still pale, and his eyes still had a mysterious blackness. Brilliant, pure, mysterious black. Seeing Fu Hongxue, Ye Kai laughed again. He laughed loudly and walked over to Fu Hongxue, and sat down. Fu Hongxue was eating. Ye Kai still remembered that when he first met Fu Hongxue at the same place ten years ago, he was also eating. Eat a bite of rice, with a bite of vegetables, eat very slowly.Because he can only eat with one hand. He holds a knife in his left hand. No matter what he was doing, he never put down the knife.

Ye Kai stared at Fu Hongxue. Fu Hongxue's chopsticks didn't stop. He ate every bite of food and rice very slowly, without any intention of stopping. Even if there were eighty swordsmen pointing at him with eighty sharp swords, he probably wouldn't stop. What if it was changed to eighty women?What about eighty beautiful, beautiful, stripped women? Four Ye Kai looked at Fu Hongxue, suddenly smiled again, and said with a smile, "You never drink?" Fu Hongxue neither raised his head nor stopped, he slowly finished the last two mouthfuls of rice in the bowl, then put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and looked at Ye Kai.

Ye Kai's smile is like the sunshine suddenly appearing in the yellow sand in the sky. The expression on Fu Hongxue's face was like frost in the lingering winter. He looked at Ye Kai, and after a long time, he said word for word, "I don't drink." "If you don't want to drink, can you buy me two drinks?" "You have money yourself, why should I hire you?" "Wine that doesn't cost money is usually better." Ye Kai said with a smile: "Especially if you invite it, it's even rarer." "I don't like to drink, and I don't like to ask people to drink." Fu Hongxue spoke very slowly, as if every word was said after careful consideration, because as long as it came from his mouth, he must be fully responsible. So he didn't want to say a word wrong. Of course Ye Kai knew this, so he could only smile: "It seems that I won't be able to drink the wine you invited in my life?" Although Fu Hongxue and Ye Kai were already very old friends, there always seemed to be a strange distance between them, as if they were strangers. But if you say that the two of them are strangers, they seem to have a strange connection. Fu Hongxue looked at Ye Kai for a long time before saying, "Not necessarily, maybe there is a chance to drink the wine I invited." "what chance?" "Wedding wine." "Wedding wine?" Ye Kai seemed to be taken aback: "Your wedding wine? With whom? Cui Nong?" As soon as this name was said, Ye Kai regretted it, and even called himself a big bastard, because he saw the pain in Fu Hongxue's eyes again. It's been ten years, and he still can't forget her? Can you forget? Who can forget the first woman, the first love? Some people may be able to, but Fu Hongxue absolutely cannot. It's not that he is too stupid or infatuated, but that his love has been used too deeply. The deeper the love, the deeper the pain. The deeper the love, the more it hurts. Why do people love each other and hurt each other? Fu Hongxue's head had been slowly lowered, but his eyes were wandering in a daze without a fixed point, and the pain in the depths of his eyes became more and more intense. Seeing him like this, Ye Kai really wanted to put on a chic look and tell a joke or two, but he really didn't know where to start. Fortunately, someone rescued him at this time. "Why do you always ask others to buy you a drink?" The voice came from the stairs: "Did you forget that sometimes it is very pleasant to invite others to drink?" No need to turn around, Ye Kai also knew who the speaker was, he immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Bieli, Xiao Bieli, you are still alive?" Fives This is a very strange place. There is gambling here, but it is not a casino; there is wine here, but it is not a restaurant.There are women here who can do anything with you at any time, but it is not a brothel. This is the only "playable" place in the town and within hundreds of miles nearby. There are sixteen tables in the hall, no matter which table you choose to sit down, you can enjoy the best food and wine. There was a very high staircase at the back of the hall, and no one knew where it was, and no one ever went up it, because whatever you wanted was downstairs. There is a relatively small square table at the stairway all the year round, and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and neatly groomed is sitting there. He always seemed to be sitting there alone, playing dominoes by himself, rarely seen doing anything else, and rarely seen standing up. The chair he was sitting in was wide and comfortable, and beside the chair were two mahogany canes, which were placed where he could easily get them. He never paid attention to other people coming and going, and even rarely raised his head to take a look. No matter what other people did, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him. In fact, he is the owner of this place, and his name is Xiao Bieli. This place is called "Joint Building". Ye Kai turned around with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Bieli sitting at the top of the stairs. He was still the same as ten years ago, nothing had changed, only the graying of his temples had increased, and the wrinkles on his face had deepened and increased. Every wrinkle on his face seemed to hide so much joy, so much pain, so many secrets, so much love, but his hands were still as soft as a girl. His clothes are still gorgeous, still gorgeous and luxurious, there is a gold bottle on the table, and the wine in the glass is amber, lustrous and soft like a gemstone. He was slowly laying out the dominoes one by one on the table, forming a gossip, and smiling at Ye as he did so. Of course Ye Kai was still smiling, he said with a smile: "It's one thing for others to invite me, but it's another thing for me to invite others." "Yes." Xiao Bieli said, "That's completely different." "So I invite." Ye Kai said: "I invite everyone in this room." "It's a pity that there are only three people in this room." Xiao Bieli sighed, "It's a pity that you seem to have forgotten one more thing." There are indeed only three in this room now, but what did Ye Kai forget?Ye Kai didn't understand, so of course he had to ask, how could he be worthy of himself if he didn't ask? "What did I forget?" "You seem to have forgotten that you need money to invite people to drink." "Silver?" Ye Kai said, "Do you think I look like someone with silver?" "You're not like that." Xiao Bie said with a smile, "You're like a combination of ten poor guys." "Fortunately, you don't have to use money to treat guests." Ye Kai said leisurely. "If you don't use silver, what do you use?" "Pay bills." Ye laughed: "Did you forget that I can pay bills here?" "Paying the bill?" Xiao Bieli said, "That was already ten years ago." "If you hang up once, you'll hang up twice, once a year, and even ten years." Ye Kai said with a smile: "Besides, I haven't paid the debt, and I pay the debt. It's considered hospitality. Since it is hospitality, we should let him pay more." Hang up some bills, right, Boss Xiao?" What kind of nonsense is this?Only Mr. Ye Kai can tell this fallacy. When you meet this kind of person, what do you think Xiao Bieli will do? Only wry smile. Apart from a wry smile, what else can Xiao Bieli do? At this time, Fu Hongxue, who had been silent in the abyss of pain, suddenly spoke. "I said please drink the wedding wine, not my wedding wine." "we know." Ye Kai and Xiao Bieli said these four words almost at the same time, after they finished speaking, they both looked at each other and smiled, and then Xiao Bieli said: "The wedding wine you mentioned refers to Ye Kai and Ding Linglin. "Xiao Bieli said: "As long as Ye Kai and Ding Linglin get married, you can invite them to have a wedding wine." "Yes." Fu Hongxue said to Ye Kai in a very calm tone: "I have never invited anyone to drink in my life, but as long as you get married, I will definitely invite you." It's not that Fu Hongxue never drank alcohol, he did, and got drunk for four or five days in a row at the house of a girl who lived on flesh and blood. That time he would drink and get drunk, of course for love. It was only love that caused him so much pain. But since that time he was drunk, he never had a drop of alcohol. He has always believed that alcohol can numb people's pain, but after sober, the pain still exists and deepens. The hangover has not woken up, but the worry has woken up. ——As long as anyone who has ever drank alcohol will probably experience this kind of situation, right? six The wine was in the cup, and the cup was in Ye Kai's hand. While drinking, he watched Xiao Bieli playing the chopsticks. Xiao Bieli slowly arranged the dominoes one by one into gossip, his eyes fixed on the dominoes intently, his clear, thin, and weather-beaten face seemed to have a heavy expression, and it took a long time before he looked up and looked up. sighed. "What did you see?" Ye Kai couldn't help asking: "Can you really see many things from these dominoes?" "yes." "So what did you see today?" Xiao Bieli didn't answer right away, he picked up the golden cup, drank it slowly, his eyes passed through the wall, and fell on a distant place, after a while, he put down the cup, and then said: "Some disasters cannot be avoided. Yes, absolutely unavoidable..." "Disaster?" Ye Kai was puzzled: "What disaster?" "Natural disaster." Xiao Bieli turned his eyes away and stopped on Ye Kai's face: "Natural disaster forecast!" He sighed, and then said: "Do you know that there is a kind of shooting star in the sky with a long, long tail?" "I know." Ye Kai said, "This kind of meteor is called a comet." "Comet." Xiao Bieli said: "She appears every seventy-six years, and every time she appears, it will bring great disasters to the world." "When a comet appears, will it bring disaster?" Ye Kai said, "What kind of disaster?" "I don't know." Xiao Bieli said, "No matter what kind of disaster it is, it will be misfortune in the world." Ye Kai pondered for a while before speaking: "I saw that comet last night." "I saw it too." Xiao Bieli said, "Her brilliant light really cannot be described in words." This time it was Ye Kai who kept his eyes on the distance, muttering to himself thoughtfully: "I don't know what kind of disaster this comet will bring to the world this time?" "No matter what kind of disaster it is, it has nothing to do with me." Fu Hongxue said suddenly. "Wrong." Xiao Bieli looked at Fu Hongxue and said, "The signs of the dominoes are showing that this disaster is related to you." "It has something to do with me?" Fu Hongxue sneered, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "If the dominoes are really so effective and accurate, why don't you—" Fu Hongxue stopped talking suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the gate, and Ye Kai was also looking at the gate. There was nothing strange at the door. There was only one person standing there, a man in fine clothes. He glanced at Ye Kai and Fu Hongxue, then took a step forward, and said, "I'm sorry to ask for advice, but I don't know the two of you. Is it Young Master Fu and Young Master Ye?" "I'm Ye Kai." Ye Kai said, "Is there something wrong?" "My master would like to invite the two of you to drive over tonight." "Who is your master?" "The third boss." The man in the hard attire smiled, "The third boss of Wanmatang." "The third boss of Wanmatang?" Ye Kai was slightly taken aback. Isn't Wanmatang deserted?How could the third boss of Wanmatang run out again? "Who is the third boss of Wanmatang?" Ye Kai said. The well-dressed man was startled, looked at Ye Kai, and then smiled again, this time he really smiled, looking at his expression as if everyone should know who the third boss of Wanmatang is. "The third boss is Ma Kongqun." He said with a smile. As soon as these words came out, let alone Ye Kai, even Fu Hongxue was stunned. Ma Kongqun? Ma Kongqun died ten years ago, in Wanmatang, before Ye Kai's eyes, how could he appear now? Could it be another Ma Kongqun? Xiao Bieli also felt strange, he asked the person in the hard attire: "Which Ma Kongqun is it?" "Why is Boss Xiao drunk in broad daylight?" The well-dressed man smiled: "Of course it's your friend Ma Kongqun, and the daughter of my third boss often comes here to chat with you." The more he said, the more startled Ye Kai was, he opened his eyes and asked, "Is the daughter of the third boss called Ma Fangling?" The person standing at the door smiled again: "Yes." How is this going back to the booth? How can someone who is obviously dead treat someone? seven "Go back and tell Boss Three that we'll be on time for the appointment." Ye Kai said to the well-dressed man. "thanks." When his back disappeared at the door, the astonishment on Ye Kai's face hadn't subsided, and the same was true for Fu Hongxue. Xiao Bieli stared into the distance with a pensive face. After Ye Kai suddenly drank a glass of wine, he said, "What's going on here?" "Don't you know if you go there?" Xiao Bieli also drank a glass of wine: "It seems that this disaster is really related to the two of you. Just like the dominoes show." "Do you think this is the disaster brought by the comet?" Ye Kai smiled again. "I hope not." Xiao Bieli said lightly.
