Nine thousand years old

The coat was taken away by the waiter, nothing happened, Li Siyuan took out his mobile phone and called Ming Li.Ming Li was sitting on the sofa playing a game, seeing that it was Li Siyuan, he answered the phone without hesitation.

In fact, Li Siyuan regretted it the moment it was broadcast, and his mind was full of what his second sister said.I was about to hang up, but I didn't expect this person to answer so quickly.

"Li Siyuan?"

Ming Li's voice was clear and pleasant, but also had an unspeakably low voice, which was even more pleasant when heard from the receiver than face to face.But Li Siyuan didn't know what to say, so he could only say dryly: "Have you eaten yet?"

Without even thinking about it, Mingli replied quickly, "I didn't eat."

"Then, I'll go back and buy it for you later, um...I didn't eat it either, my second sister asked me to come to the banquet....Before ten o'clock, right? I should be home...don't pick me up."

The two of them just talked one sentence at a time. They thought they had nothing to talk about on the phone, but they were interrupted by the waiter who brought them to clean the clothes.

Li Siyuan felt incredible until he hung up the phone and saw the display on the screen for nearly half an hour.

He just chatted with Ming Li for half an hour like this?What did they both say?

Putting on his clothes with some doubts, Li Siyuan immediately went downstairs. He still remembered the main purpose of coming today.

After searching around the banquet hall twice, and finally found Shu Qianyu's figure, Li Siyuan looked at his second sister smiling and holding He Yucheng's hand, and felt that the world was magical.

Did he really call for half an hour instead of half a year?

Walking up to the two of them, Li Siyuan tried to separate them, but Shu Qianyu slapped him aside: "Go home, you are a good friend, lend me some, and wait for my mother to piss off that bastard."

Li Siyuan was dumbfounded and looked at He Yucheng.

He Yucheng was still gentle and dignified, and said: "It's nothing, just a favor."

Li Siyuan frowned and looked at Shu Qianyu: "Then why are you going back?"

Shu Qianyu waved Li Siyuan back impatiently: "Your uncle sent someone to pick me up, please leave at ease."

Li Siyuan: ...It's chasing flies away.

After rubbing his nose, he still apologized to He Yucheng and invited him to dinner another day.

Knowing that someone was coming to pick him up, Li Siyuan wasn't too worried.He drank at night, so naturally he couldn't drive back, and he didn't want to bother to find a substitute driver, so he went out and called a car.

After a few minutes in the car, Li Siyuan still couldn't hold back and took out his phone, and sent an emoji to the person named Yan Jun.

Brother Yuan is handsome and cracks the sky: [Sudden Appearance.jpg]

After waiting for a few minutes without a reply, Li Siyuan had no choice but to browse Weibo for a while, and posted a picture of the colorful rose wall that was photographed when he took a taxi just now.

Li Siyuan: [picture]

There is a single picture without even a word, so it can be said that he is very straight.

Immediately, a little cutie snatched up the floor and cried, "Baby Yuan, you have changed. Not only do you not like to show up, it's fine to post Weibo without taking selfies. You don't even bother to write a word now!"

Li Siyuan gave a low laugh, letting the cute fans below cry and howl.

Just as he was about to put away his phone, he saw Ming Li replying to the message.

Yan Jun: [Serious.jpg] Are you back?

The emoji is an upright and serious villain, sitting and drinking tea, Li Siyuan couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

I didn't reply right away just now, could it be that I was looking for an emoticon pack?

Thinking of this, Li Siyuan found it very interesting.

The evening routine anti-Japanese drama was playing on the TV. On the fluffy carpet in the living room, Ming Li was sitting upright in home clothes, the phone in front of him was ringing non-stop, and a series of WeChat reminders.

Master Rabbit is still Master Rabbit: [Picture][Picture][Picture][Picture]...

Master Rabbit is still you Master Rabbit: My lord...is this enough?

Master Rabbit is still your Master Rabbit: [Kneel and sit well.jpg]

Ming Li felt that it was almost done, saved the emoji packs one by one, and replied casually.

Brother Yuan is handsome and cracks the sky: [I will send you a hair.jpg] I am in the car, and it will take more than half an hour to get home.What do you want to eat?

Yan Jun: All good. [Eat Fafa.jpg]

Li Siyuan couldn't hold back, staring at this emoji and smiling like an idiot.

The two chatted all the way without knowing it, and Li Siyuan didn't reply until they got out of the car, and paid the fare to go to the full-time convenience store near the community.

He casually took two servings of pasta and some snacks. Mingli usually liked to eat a lot, even took three or four packets of melon seeds.

Thinking about Ming Li's appearance of eating melon seeds and watching TV dramas, Li Siyuan felt that his heart was going to collapse.This feeling of someone waiting at home is quite good.

The night covers everything, and the street lamps are accompanied by cicadas, which is both noisy and inexplicably peaceful.Li Siyuan walked along the road facing things, couldn't help but took out his phone to look again.

Ming Li naturally didn't speak anymore, but he just wanted to see the chat records of the two people, and he didn't know where this person got the emoticons, the cute ones didn't match him at all.

Well... it's not inconsistent...

"Cough, cough..."

His thoughts were interrupted by a cough. Li Siyuan followed the sound and saw a hunched man sitting on the stone steps beside him.

It sounds like he is quite old, and seems to be sick, coughing non-stop.The uncle coughed for a while before he stopped, picked up the crutch beside him, and tried to stand up tremblingly, but he fell back heavily on the stone steps as if he was exhausted.

Li Siyuan paused, and after thinking about it, he went over to give him a hand.

"Master, why are you outside so late, what's wrong with you?"

The old man stood up with his hand, shook his head, and did not speak.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Siyuan could only continue to ask: "Where is your home, I will take you home?"

He seemed to be very afraid of the cold, and he was wearing thick clothes. After hearing this, he reacted for a while before raising his finger and pointing to the road on the left.

The shadows of the trees swayed and became lighter under the moonlight. There were fewer street lights here than elsewhere, making it look darker and more shady.

The old man remained silent, and Li Siyuan only politely supported him.It wasn't until he reached the artificial lake that the old man patted his hand.

"Look at the ground."

His voice was hoarse and noisy, and words were squeezed out like a blower that hadn't been used in years.Li Siyuan shuddered when he heard this, and looked at his bracelet calmly.

There was nothing abnormal about the bracelet, it lay quietly on the wrist.

Li Siyuan felt relieved, although it was strange, he still looked at the ground.The dark tree roots criss-crossed, and I searched around but couldn't see anything.

The old man sighed, then pointed to a place, Li Siyuan looked at it immediately, stared at it for a long time before seeing a slightly shining thing.

"Dig it out, it might be something I dropped over here just now."

The old man spoke again, Li Siyuan always felt that something was wrong, but the old man stubbornly stopped talking, and he could only go forward to pick up the thing.

I squatted down and dug a few times, but I didn't expect to find only a polished piece of wood, which seemed to have some words written on it, but there was no light source at the moment, so I couldn't see it clearly.

Holding the wood and standing up, Li Siyuan turned his head and wanted to return the things to the old man, but half of the figure behind him disappeared.

There was a buzzing in his head, and he knew without thinking that he had bumped into something.

The wood chip seemed to be a hot potato, and Li Siyuan was about to throw it away, but the wood chip seemed to be stuck to his hand, and he couldn't get it off no matter what.

Wanting to cry without tears, Li Siyuan tried his best to tear off the piece of wood, but limbs like matchsticks sprouted from the piece of wood around him, tightly hugging his wrist.

Li Siyuan's scalp was numb, he gritted his teeth and walked home while pulling the wood chips.

Fortunately, after walking a few steps, I ran into Ming Li who came downstairs to pick him up.

Ming Li noticed something extra on this person from a distance, and approached with squinted eyes.Li Siyuan quickly walked a few steps to him, stiffened his body and passed his hand in front of Mingli.

"What the hell is this!"

Ming Li stared at the small piece of wood grabbing Li Siyuan's wrist, and said coldly, "Get off."

The small piece of wood trembled visibly with the naked eye, but it was so, the limbs were still tightly grasping Li Siyuan's wrist.Li Siyuan only felt that his right hand was numb, and he was almost out of blood.

Seeing the red mark on the white wrist, Ming Li impatiently stretched out his hand.And as soon as he moved, the little piece of wood let out a horrified scream, and crawled to the back of Li Siyuan's head with a whoosh.

Li Siyuan could feel that the little thing was picking at his hair, and even fiddled with it twice to cover himself with it.

Ming Li raised his hand to take it off.Li Siyuan thought about the strength of this little thing, and was afraid that Mingli would go up and pull it and his own hair, so he said with a bitter face: "Don't pull it, I don't want to be bald."

Ming Li's face turned black, and he stared at the exposed corner for more than ten seconds before speaking again.

"Go back first."

The blood gourd girl was still doing yoga in the stairwell gracefully, and she didn't even give the two of them a look.

After returning to the house, Li Siyuan sat on the ground and honestly told what happened downstairs.

Ming Li poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him, said: "The old man is a dryad."

"Tree spirit?" Li Siyuan's eyes widened, and there was a small piece of wood on his head, looking silly.

Ming Li looked at the little piece of wood with a sullen face: "If you don't roll down, you will be burned."

The little wood chip was so frightened that it shivered, and Li Siyuan's scalp ached from being pulled.Probably because he was afraid that Ming Li would really burn him, he hesitated for a while and crawled onto Li Siyuan's shoulder, then jumped from his shoulder to his suit pocket.

It was where he had put his handkerchief before.

Li Siyuan lowered his head, and only then did he see the appearance of this small piece of wood.

The small pieces of wood are light cyan in color, and the surface does not seem to be polished and smooth, but is naturally generated, and the four thin matchsticks are slightly darker in color.

The most bizarre thing is that this small piece of wood was drawn crookedly with simple facial features, like a walking emoji.

Li Siyuan couldn't help laughing, and the little wood chip stared at him dissatisfied, as if condemning him.

Suppressing his own smile, Li Siyuan said, "But the bracelet didn't light up at the time?"

"Because that thing is not hostile... He probably came to ask Gu." Mingli's expression was a little subtle, and he didn't know why, but he was inexplicably displeased when he saw the little piece of wood lying on Li Siyuan's body.

Tuogu?Li Siyuan wondered: "Is he going to die?"

Ming Li said: "It may be, or it may be a catastrophe. In short, he dragged his offspring to you. If he can come back alive, he will repay you."

From this point of view, the little piece of wood is still a bit pitiful, Li Siyuan said: "Is he also a dryad? Do I want to keep it?"

"A little monster who hasn't been around for a few years." Ming Li was also thinking about this issue, and for a while, looked at Li Siyuan seriously: "Throw it away."

"Ah?" Li Siyuan looked at the small piece of wood with an aggrieved face, and couldn't bear it: "Throw it away? What will happen to him?"

Ming Li took a sip of water: "If you are lucky, you can survive, but if you are unlucky...you will be eaten."

The little piece of wood seemed to be frightened by 'throwing it away', clutching Li Siyuan's pocket tightly, chirping, chirping, chirping, chirping and screaming.

Li Siyuan couldn't help but said: "Farewell, anyway, he doesn't take up any space, but what does he usually eat?"

This answer was expected by Ming Li, he replied naturally: "Drink water and bask in the sun."

It's quite easy to raise.Li Siyuan suppressed the weirdness in his heart, stretched out a finger, put it in front of the little tree spirit, and said with a serious face: "Do you understand? Then it's settled, as long as you are obedient and don't make trouble, I will support you in the future until you The adults are here to pick you up."

The little wood chip immediately turned into a happy and well-behaved expression, unable to nod, so he stretched out his hand like a matchstick, and tapped Li Siyuan's fingertips twice.
