Hailing barren city

Ling Li looked at his watch, it was [-]:[-] in the afternoon.

The young man should have already left Hailing City, and it will be difficult to see him again this time.Thinking about the past month, the man found himself feeling sentimental.He self-deprecatingly recalled that night in the weeds again, the figure of Tao Rujiu entwined with the flowers was more favorable evidence than any words or feelings, proving that the relationship between himself and Tao Rujiu was completely distorted Ridiculous relationship.

Sometimes he couldn't believe how Tao Rujiu was able to hide such deep thoughts even though he looked gentle and even dull on the surface.If he approached himself to obtain news, then why did he approach Blossom?

Ling Li couldn't figure it out, and after that night of losing his mind, he even became a little confused.

Tao Rujiu, who was struggling and crying, was covered in bruises and blood. Could this be part of the youth's disguise?

He has already been exposed by himself and severely punished and humiliated, but why do he still stubbornly pretend to be innocent and hurt by others, is it to win his sympathy or guilt?Then why did he finally choose to leave?

Is it because of being forced to wear muddy rags, because of being kicked out of the villa and rolled down the steps, or because of the bowl of pork liver porridge that was swept into the trash can?

Perhaps no matter how treacherous people are, they will get hurt at some point, but I have successfully made Tao Rujiu completely give up.

Ling Li leaned against the wall and laughed silently, should he celebrate?He took out another cigarette and held it in his hand for a long time, but found that it was not lit at all.Just as he was about to go back to the house, he looked down and saw a white tail flashing outside the open French window of the bedroom. tThe big white cat seems to be turning back again.

The man frowned and hurried back to the bedroom.But there was no sign of the cat at all.He was a little puzzled, but he didn't find a colorless unknown liquid on the towel he used to wipe his face in the bathroom.

Back in the bedroom and lit a cigarette, Ling Li still leaned back on the big bed covered in bread crumbs.When Tao Rujiu left, the scattered quilts were piled up by his hand, and a thin layer of soot fell on them.

After smoking this cigarette, he became a little sleepy instead, so he leaned on the bed and fell asleep for a while, and he got up again at nearly six o'clock to eat something.

After washing up a bit, I changed clothes and went out, just wanting to find something to eat in the city.The canteen in Huangcheng District was open at this hour, so he decided to make do with it and order two small stir-fries.

However, at the entrance of the restaurant, all the attention is not on the food.

Tao Rujiu didn't leave Hailing City, he was eating with other members of the troupe.Completely different from the depressed and unhappy stay in the villa, the young man was still surrounded by the troupe with a gentle and kind appearance, smiling at Xiao Li beside him.

What surprised the man the most was that Hua Kai sat beside him with a happy face. It seemed that what happened three days ago never happened at all, and it seemed that it was not an accident at all, but a tacit agreement between the two parties. tacit agreement.

Losing his appetite, he turned around to avoid the dazzling scene with a dark complexion. He couldn't help but think of Tao Rujiu's words that completely angered him that night: "Yes... I have liked flowers blooming for a long time. I was going to do it. Who knew you would be troublesome..."

Could it be that he is really the third party in this emotional chaos?Did he rape Tao Rujiu who had no intention of treating him out of jealousy?

He laughed.

A few employees passing by Ling Li greeted him untimely, Hua Kai noticed the man's presence from a distance, immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran over.

"Why do you feel so tired of seeing Boss Ling blooming these two days?" Xiao Li murmured in Tao Rujiu's ear.

The young man also saw the man standing in the distance, but he just kept his head down and ate the food in the bowl without saying a word.

Bitter salty, he thought.After two days of starvation, the food should look extra delicious.

Ling Li also felt that there was something strange about Qin Huakai recently.

The originally quiet and shy boy suddenly became active and intimate.In the past, Ling Li always thought that he had a shy personality and was introverted like a girl, but now seeing him take the initiative, he felt even weirder.In particular, the juvenile's intentional or unintentional contact with his own body made him feel an indescribable sense of disobedience.

He is indeed concerned about Huakai all the time, but this does not mean that he is willing to have an overly intimate relationship with Huakai.

Just like the previous few times, he got rid of Huakai's hand without showing any signs, and he didn't even notice Dongli Bupo's dark and displeased eyes in Huakai's body.

Not in the mood to eat anymore, Ling Li walked around the door and walked out of the restaurant again.He didn't know where to go, his head was full of doubts and Tao Ru's old appearance just now, and he became gloomy again unknowingly.

Walking out of the imperial city on the boulevard, there are almost no pedestrians in the park in the evening.Ling Li walked slowly towards the control room alone, and it took a while to remember that today is Shuo Ri, and another Taoist priest was injured, and he could no longer enter the underground palace at night; he had no target for a while, and he didn't know where he was going.

At this moment, a thin voice came from the corner of the wall behind him. A distance of at least ten steps away, most people would never hear it clearly. The reason why Ling Li heard it was because the voice called out to him. , two extremely sensitive words: his name.

Ling Li stopped, turned around and looked back.By this time the sky had darkened.The street lights hadn't been turned on yet.The only thing he could be sure of was that no one appeared from the direction of the sound.

Quickly alert, he reached into his pocket for the saber.

But that voice didn't yell repeatedly as he thought, but stopped after [-] or [-] yells, and then there was a rustling sound in the grass, and a mass of white flowers came out.

It is the white cat of Cuiying Pavilion.

How can a cat talk?Ling Li laughed at his nervousness in his heart.He was about to continue walking, but he didn't expect that the white cat had already run in front of him in two or three steps, squatting in the middle of the road.

"My name is Qilinpo, and I am an earth immortal possessed by the white cat."

Although it is not clear whether the white cat's mouth is moving, Ling Li can still be sure that the words are indeed spoken by the big cat in front of him.

He stopped, but he wasn't surprised, he just frowned and looked at the white mass blocking the middle of the road.

The big white cat continued to speak: "This afternoon, I entered your villa and dripped cow's tears on your towel."

"No wonder." Ling Li finally spoke slowly, "You were already a cat when I was a child, but after more than ten years, you still haven't aged. It turned out to be a monster."

Qi Maoxian shook his ears, and a mocking cry came out of his throat: "It's better to let it out if you're afraid. Anyway, I've seen you in open crotch pants, so it doesn't matter how embarrassing you are."

Ling Li was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, reached out his hand and took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Don't keep your tail up when you walk in the future, I don't want to see fairy chrysanthemums anytime and anywhere."

In the dark, the big white cat made a snorting sound, but it did not forget the purpose of coming to find Ling Li, although at this moment it was somewhat regretful.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm here to take you to Cuiying Pavilion. Follow me."

"Why should I go there?" The man frowned.

"You don't want to know the truth about Tao Rujiu and Huakai?"

"The truth?" Ling Li murmured repeatedly, "Could it be that what I saw was not the truth?"

The white cat sneered, "I'm afraid your heart will hurt." After a pause, he added, "If you have a heart."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Tao Rujiu hid in his room in Cuiying Pavilion.The daily cool-off party has long been canceled due to the recent tense atmosphere. I heard from Xiao Li that in order to ensure the personal safety of the troupe, Ling Li even gave each of them a mobile phone, but an elderly person like Master Lu is not only reluctant to pay , Even sending a text message in pinyin is very difficult.

What's more, when you are really haunted by ghosts, your phone is useless at all.Tao Ru smiled wryly.

He turned on the computer, continued to sort out uncategorized materials, and downloaded some materials for backup, but when he saved them, he found that there was already a web file on the desktop with the title "Blue Eyes".

He remembered that this was a web page that was specially saved when he investigated Ling Li's eyes last time, but now it doesn't make any sense.I looked like a mockery, but if Ling Li saw it, I'm afraid he would be wronged for spying on my privacy again, right?

Tao Rujiu sighed lightly and clicked the mouse lightly. After Shiftdelete, everything goes to nothing.

At this time, the network was suddenly disconnected, and there was a sound of claws scratching outside the door panel.

Tao Rujiu opened the door. Standing outside was Maoxian and Qin Huakai who looked obviously abnormal.

"Dongli Bupo, I want to ask you to clarify what happened that night." Qi Maoxian said to him, "Let's go to the backyard."

The backyard is a lush field of tuberose, among which are planted osmanthus trees as tall as a person.The season is not yet here, and the sweet-scented osmanthus has not yet bloomed, but you can smell the sweetness of tuberose all over the garden, which is refreshing.

Under the cover of the thick night, no one seemed to notice Ling Li standing behind the simple shower room. He came with Qi Maoxian, in order to understand the confusion at the bottom of his heart.However, when he actually saw Tao Rujiu and Qin Huakai walk into the garden and leave, he became terrified for no reason, fearing that the truth would run counter to the revenge he had already made.

"The east fence is not broken." Qi Maoxian was the first to speak, "If you want to apologize, you should get out of Huakai's body first."

The boy nodded slightly after hearing what the white cat said.He turned around and walked to the bench in the garden, lay down carefully, closed his eyes, and then, a tall man wearing a silver mask sat up slowly, his body showed a translucent state different from that of normal humans , is exactly the characteristic of ghosts.

He frowned sharply, not because he saw a ghost coming out of Huakai's body, but because he recognized the silver mask, which was the totem of his mother's family in the past. Similarly, it also appeared on the cover of the magazine in the guest room that night. Tao Rujiu was shocked by the existence of Liushen Wuzhu.

The silver mask is the ancestor of Ling Li's mother, and also the lover before Huakai VII.This is what Qi Maoxian told Ling Li in advance.

The man hid in the shade of a tree, saw the silver mask leave Huakai's body, walked back to Maoxian and Tao Rujiu, faced Tao Rujiu, and knelt down on one knee in the ancient way.

"Tao Rujiu, I'm so sorry for you!"

"This……"

Tao Rujiu was very unaccustomed to this kind of etiquette of the ancients, so he tried to lift Dongli Bupo up, but he couldn't touch the ghost's body.So Dongli Bupo kept kneeling all the time, and said sadly: "I am all responsible for the possession of the body. It has nothing to do with the blooming of flowers, and I am sorry for you. I will explain to Lingli, and I will never let you suffer. White injustice."

"There's nothing left to explain."

Tao Rujiu looked at the ghost kneeling in front of him, "This matter has nothing to do with Lingli, I just hope you can treat Huakai honestly and don't decide everything for him. He may not be grateful to you."

After listening to his words, Dongli Bupo was about to respond when suddenly a gust of wind passed through the garden, and another artificial fragrance came faintly from the fragrance of osmanthus trees all over the garden.The perception of ghosts has always been sharper than that of humans, and this is a sharp and idiomatic perfume. Dongli Bupo soon realized that this was a trap.

Qi Maoxian brought him here on purpose in order to show Ling Li a scene to clarify the facts.

Unfortunately, he couldn't fulfill his wish.

"How the flowers bloom...is not important to me." Dongli Bupo suddenly changed the subject, stood up and approached Tao Rujiu, "And my heart for you, don't you understand now?"

Tao Rujiu was startled, and before he had time to comprehend the meaning of this sentence, he was locked in his arms by the ghost.

Dongli Bupo lowered his voice and said in Tao Rujiu's ear, "I know you like flowers blooming, that's why I attached myself to him, even willing to be pressed under you. Don't you think I like flowers now?" It's flowers..."

Tao Rujiu didn't know that Ling Li was there, and he just felt inexplicable and strange when Dongli Bupo suddenly said these words.After slowly understanding that there seems to be some conspiracy here, he desperately opened his mouth to refute, but felt that his throat was pinched by an invisible big hand, and he couldn't make a sound.He lowered his head again to look for Qi Maoxian, but he had disappeared.

"For the flowers to bloom, I have to do this." The ghost's heartfelt voice came through the limbs, "Even if he blames me, I will do it! Or simply erase his memory about me. Watch him until he dies, I will follow him to reincarnate!"

"You self-righteous man!"

Tao Rujiu also said angrily in his heart, "Do you think that if you do this, the flowers will bloom and you will be happy, and you will live a good life? He will suffer forever, and so will you..."

He wanted to say something more, but his chest became tighter and tighter.It seemed to others that Dongli Bupo was hugging him tenderly, but in fact, the ghost was firmly strangling the young man's neck, preventing him from saying a word against him.

Ling Li stood in a dark corner, he couldn't hear Tao Rujiu's inner conversation with the ghost.Just chewing over and over again what I could hear.
