Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

She watched Li Qing walk away leisurely with his hands behind his head. It seemed that he finally had some free time because his mission was completed. He squatted in front of a witch's stall and strongly asked her to read his palm.

The witch looked at the palm of his outstretched hand, then looked at her tarot cards and crystal ball, and she deeply suspected that this man was here to mess up her business, and her face turned black.

Xi Sui'an twitched her lips, turned around and walked out of the city. She was amazed at Minister Li Qing who was always flirting with others. She felt that since Yi Luowen could get him to come to her, they must have a good relationship.

At night, she took advantage of the darkness and easily used camouflage to sneak out of the city.

Among the countless ships at the dock, the Liberty is perfectly hidden and is really inconspicuous.

She walked along the path she had taken when she got off the boat, and saw a small child squatting under a light on the dock. Her transparent body was clearly visible under the light.

She slowed down her pace, knowing that he should know, so she walked over and squatted down: "A Ping, why are you here?"

Ah Ping raised her head, looking a little sad. Seeing that it was her, she said very obediently, "Sister Sui Sui."

She squatted in front of Ah Ping and said gently, "You are so sad because you know that Bo Yan is leaving the Liberty, right?"

Ah Ping lowered her head, and Xi Sui'an couldn't see his expression clearly: "We have never been apart. I know that Brother Bo Yan came here for Brother Zhong Heng. It's not good to stay on the Liberty all the time. I know. I'm not sad, but... reluctant to leave."

Xi Sui'an sat down beside him: "A Ping, you were once a human, I think you should know what it feels like to wait. We humans are not like those alien races, those mythical creatures. We don't care about the length of life, we care about the meaning of living." Xi Sui'an's voice was like running water, flowing slowly in the night, "Now waiting is meaningless for Zhong Heng."

"I know." Ping tilted her head and repeated, "I know." Waiting, from full of hope to tiredness and despair, finally giving the long wait only the meaning of being worthless.

Ah Ping stretched out her hand and drew circles on the ground, then sighed, "They thought I would be very angry, but actually I am not. I just feel a little reluctant, after all, we have never been apart since we met.

"Brother Zhongheng can go if he wants to. He needs to see the world, all living things, and himself. The most terrible thing is not that his soul is imprisoned in him, but that he doesn't know who he is and why he lives."

Ah Ping said calmly, her childish face showing a calm expression.

Xi Sui calmed down for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. Although he was not an adult when he died, he had existed for who knows how long. Why would he need a "junior" like her to comfort him?

Footsteps sounded from the darkness. Xi Sui'an and Aping looked over and saw Jin Yuan looking at Aping with a complicated expression. He sighed for a while and said, "It seems that I don't need to say anything. Aping has grown up!" He can say such philosophical words.

Ah Ping put a finger to her lips and tilted her head, with a very cute expression: "Shh, Uncle Jin Yuan, don't tell anyone, I still want to continue to be a baby with Sister Qingyun and the others."

Jin Yuan held his forehead with his hand, speechless: "Alright, alright, one or two, it's really... one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten." He turned to Xi Sui'an, "By the way, why are you here? Didn't we say we would meet in two days?"

Xi Sui'an shrugged, helpless: "The plan has changed, so I have to come to Qingyun and Bo Yan to discuss it."

"Okay, let's get on board."

On the boat, Qingyun took a bunch of things and stuffed them in: "Take this... and this... Oh, do you have enough money? Buying materials is very expensive. Oh, I'll give you some more materials..."

When Xi Sui'an entered the room, she was stunned by the shock of the original place. She looked at the pile of clothes on the couch, the various rare herbs on the table, the colorful minerals on the ground, a pile of metals that she couldn't recognize, and some daggers that looked cold and shining...

She swallowed and turned to look at Zhong Heng with a helpless look on her face: "That's enough, Sister Qingyun."

It's so exaggerated, just like a rich family giving their children everything when they send them to school.

"It's better to be prepared. It's not easy for me to go to that place, so I'll have to prepare some more things for you." Qingyun muttered.

Zhong Heng sighed. Why did his brother cause him trouble?

He turned around and saw Xi Sui'an, and said indifferently: "You're here."

Qingyun looked up in surprise: "Huh? What are you doing here so early?"

"..."

Xi Sui'an coughed lightly: "I have a little surprise, I think you also need to know."

She pulled out a chair and sat down calmly, saying, "I met Li Qing from Damocles College. He came to look for me. After weighing the pros and cons, I think it would be safer for us to go back to the college with him."

She looked at the two people with a look of "are you kidding me?" and said calmly, "Aurora City knows about what happened at sea and is now testing the reaction of the mermaids. The relationship between the two parties is a bit delicate, so it's better for us to leave early."

Qingyun narrowed his eyes: "The mermaids want to further expand their control over the Lost Sea. If Aurora City wants to continue to maintain its freedom and independence, it must know the mermaids' plans. This is indeed a delicate time."

She threw the ring with a bunch of things in it to Zhong Heng: "In addition to the representative of the third force, Li Qing, you mentioned, let him go quickly. It's not appropriate for him to stay any longer."

Qingyun said with some annoyance: "We have to hurry up and leave. It will be troublesome if we encounter the mermaids or the sheriff."

Zhong Heng sighed dejectedly and thought for a while: "I still have to go and comfort Xiaochun. I don't know why he is angry right now. I am very worried about him."

Jin Yuan leaned against the door, and Ah Ping floated out from behind him, smiling at him very cutely: "Don't worry, brother Zhong Heng, I have comforted myself!"

"..."

Zhong Heng looked at Qingyun, who had a look of "a mother worries about her son even when he is far away", then looked at his younger brother who was well-behaved when he should have been rebellious, and at Jin Yuan, who stood at the door with a look of "you are indeed a loving family", and his expression became more depressed.

Xi Sui'an found it very funny and also had a very warm feeling. Although they were not related by blood, it did not affect the fact that they were a real family.

Ah Ping floated in front of Zhong Heng and raised her hand with a serious expression: "Brother Zhong Heng, I hope you have a safe journey and find the meaning of life." He paused, "I will wait for you to come back. Promise me that you will not let my waiting be meaningless."

Zhong Heng was stunned. He was silent for a while, raised his palm, and softly placed it with Ah Ping's palm: "I promise you."

After getting off the boat, Xi Sui'an and Zhong Heng did not leave immediately.

They watched the sky gradually turn white, a ray of light broke at dawn, the sea surface took on an unusually beautiful silver-blue color, waves rolled up at the pier, and waves like snow. A group of dolphins jumped high out of the sea and then fell into the water as adults, very light, a group of young sea creatures.

They ran across the sea in pursuit of a streak of snow, and soon found a reef and sat down together, gazing at the horizon, waiting for something with great anticipation.

"Xi Sui'an, do you know what they are waiting for?" Zhong Heng asked softly, looking at the group of young boys from the sea clan.

Xi Sui'an looked over and stood aside with his hands in his pockets: "What are you waiting for? That's what they are waiting for."

Zhong Heng curled his lips, thinking that her answer was a template for the human race's unique way of speaking.

The golden red sun rose, and the sea and sky were painted golden red, the same color from top to bottom, so hot that it seemed to ignite the ocean into a sea of ​​fire. At this time, countless flying fish jumped out of the water, their pectoral fins spread out like a pair of wings, drawing gorgeous colorful streams in the sky, and then diving into the burning sea.

It is the nature of moths to fly into fire, it is their nature to chase the sky.

Not far away, a bard was playing music on a lute, the sound of the music was gentle and magnificent.

"Look, the sunrise over the Lost Sea." Zhong Heng said without blinking.

Xi Sui'an admired the view and said after a moment, "It is very beautiful. But we don't have to wait for the sunrise."

She turned around and tilted her head slightly: "It will come anyway."
