There's always someone trying to kidnap the beast

In the middle of the night, Ling Guang opened his eyes in the dark. Hearing the sound of steady breathing in his ears, he sighed inwardly before getting up from the bed.

He is not used to sleeping with others, so he has never really fallen asleep until now.In order to avoid suffering all night, he still decided to get up and do something else.

Ling Guang stepped out of bed lightly, and pulled off his coat casually to put it on.He stood not far from the bed, looked back at Jian Bin who had fallen asleep, thought for a while and still didn't leave the room, and sat at the wooden table outside the screen.

Worried that too bright candlelight would disturb Bin's clear dreams, Lingguang only ignited a small cluster of fireballs.

He took out Ling Yun's notebook and flipped through it boredly - it was the only thing he could find to do.In order to pass the long night, he specially started to read from the first page.

Ling Yun's notes were written from the age of seven. At first, they used the unique characters of the Phoenix clan, and then gradually changed to the common characters of the world of gods and beasts.

Most of the records here are the major events that Ling Yun thinks, and the bits and pieces of information he has collected, most of the time Ling Guang will be involved.

Following the narration of the notes, Ling Guang faintly felt the pictures of his previous life slowly unfolding in his sea of ​​consciousness.He seems to remember something, but still doesn't seem to remember anything.

After he was ten years old, Jian Bin gradually appeared in his notes.And every time it appears, it is said that Jian Bin is asking Ling Yun about Ling Guang's preferences, etc. Ling Yun has even asserted in his notes that Jian Bin likes Ling Guang.

Did it start so early?

Ling Guang turned his head sideways, looking at the screen covering the front of the bed, a certain part of his heart suddenly softened a lot.

He was stunned for a moment before retracting his gaze, suppressing his thoughts and continuing to look down.

Except for some materials, most of the following are memorabilia of the world of beasts and beasts, especially since the succession ceremony, there are only occasional daily records, and the rest are relatively important things, covering the ups and downs of the world of beasts and beasts for hundreds of years in Lingyun's life .

Just when Ling Guang was reading with relish, he suddenly found a piece of rice paper sandwiched between the pages.

He curiously unfolded the rice paper, only to find that it was densely packed with the birthdays and some hobbies of people Ling Yun knew before his death, especially their four images.In Sixiang, it was a name he didn't recognize first, and then came to Bai Ze and Jiulongzi.

Ling Guang stared at the word "Qi Ling" for a while, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Who is this Qiling?Since he is acquainted with his elder brother, he should also be a person. Why hasn't he heard of it?

However, Ling Guang was only puzzled for a while, and then shifted his focus.

For Yu Lingguang, interacting with some people is already very tiring, so how irritating is this kind of attention?

Didn't expect his brother to be so powerful.

Ling Guang sighed deeply in his heart, and then fixed his eyes on the section recording Jian Bin.

After secretly writing down Jian Bin's birthday and hobbies, Ling Guang refolded the rice paper and put it away.

Next, as always, there are some memorabilia, but when it is about to turn to the end, Ling Guang finds that there seems to be traces of paper pages being torn off.

How many pages did someone tear out?Did my brother tear it up by himself?

For the latter conjecture, Ling Guang tended to answer in the affirmative, so he didn't think much about it.

After browsing for a while, Ling Guang couldn't help but yawned, and fell asleep in front of the wooden table. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he really closed his eyes.

-

When Ling Guang opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the second day.

When he sat up in a daze, he suddenly woke up because of the place he was in - when did he go back to bed?

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly searched for the notebook that was placed on the table last night, and saw that it was safely placed by the bedside, so he was relieved.

As for why he appeared on the bed after waking up, Ling Guang didn't want to delve into it after waking up. Anyway, it was probably Jian Bin's fault.

Ling Guang stretched, got up, dressed and washed.

At this moment, it was over [-] o'clock, he woke up a lot later than in the past, and the only blame was that he went to bed late last night.

After dressing and washing, Ling Guang thought about it and decided to find a red headband to tie up his loose long hair.

Before falling asleep last night, Jian Bin pestered him desperately, insisting that he go to Nanping with him for a few laps today, Ling Guang had no choice but to agree to him.

Presumably Jian Bin is already planning to come back and look for him.

Ling Guang just started thinking about it, and Jian Bin really pushed the door open and entered.

"Ling Guangguang, you're awake."

Jian Bin approached Ling Guang with a smile, a pair of canine teeth looked extremely cute.

It's a pity that the pair of animal ears have been hidden again.

A look of regret flashed across Ling Guang's eyes, but he still nodded calmly and asked, "When shall we set off?"

Jian Bin tilted his head in thought, blinking his juicy almond eyes, making Ling Guang want to reach out and pinch his slightly round face.

But Ling Guang just thought about it, no matter how strong he was, he had to admit that he really didn't dare to do this kind of thing.

Jian Bin only thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Now? It's just in time for breakfast."

Ling Guang nodded in agreement.

Jian Bin put on another big smile, and happily pulled Ling Guang away.

According to Jian Bin's introduction along the way, Ling Guang learned that although Nanping City is not as prosperous as the capital of the imperial court in the world, it is still lively because it is located in the prosperous area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River.In the morning market alone, there were many people making noise.

Although Ling Guang didn't like this kind of environment, Jian Bin always used various topics to attract Ling Guang's attention, at least to erase some of his inner irritability and uneasiness.

After all, the customs of the human world are different from those of the beast world, and Ling Guang doesn't know much about the beast world, so he still has a sense of novelty about the things around him.

As the flow of people decreased, the novelty in Ling Guang's eyes was slowly revealed.But he never asked for a more detailed understanding.

The look of wanting to know but not daring to ask made Jian Bin's heart itch. The hand pulling the sleeve slowly moved into the sleeve, and finally gently held the slender white hand.

Ling Guang froze, and immediately wanted to break free.

Jian Bin added some strength and said softly, "Just for a while, okay?"

Ling Guang was slightly taken aback, but finally let him go helplessly.

Feeling that he no longer resisted, Jian Bin giggled, shook his connected hands lightly, and said happily, "I knew Ling Guangguang was the best."

At this time, there were not too few people on the side of the road, and some of them were secretly looking at them.

Ling Guang's face is not as thick as that of Jian Bin's, but he is quite good at disguising in this area. Even if the tip of his ear has a hint of pink, he can still walk side by side with him without changing his expression.

Jian Bin smiled secretly in his heart, and briskly led Ling Guang to the destination of the trip.

The trend of broken sleeves in Nanping City is not prevalent, but fortunately, the folk customs are open, and not long after, an elderly man came over with a smile and chatted with them.

"The two sons are a perfect match."

Just as Ling Guang wanted to clarify, he heard Jian Bin reply, "Thank you, actually I think so too."

He raised his eyebrows lightly, and when he turned his head, Jian Bin blinked at him again.

Forget it, the left and right don't know each other.Ling Guang thought, but chose to compromise, and kept silent to listen to the conversation between Jian Bin and the old man.

Because Jian Bin was a little anxious, he only patiently chatted with the old man for a few words, then said goodbye to each other friendly, and left with Ling Guang.

After Ling Guang and Jian Bin left, the old man withdrew his smile all of a sudden, and respectfully said to Qiong Qi, who had been pretending to be a passer-by just now, with a paralyzed face: "My lord, after confirmation by my subordinates, Ling The relationship between Guang and Jian Bin has been repaired."

Qiong Qi tore off the bamboo hat casually, stared at the two leaving backs with half-closed eyes, curled his lips, and ordered coldly: "Start to act."

The "grandfather" answered "yes" and backed away.

-

On this side, Jian Bin led Ling Guang with great interest through the almost deserted alleys, then slowly walked back to the busy streets, then moved away from the city a little bit, and finally arrived at the destination.

"Ling Guangguang, this is the place."

Jian Bin pointed to the front with a cheerful tone.

Ling Guang looked in the direction he was pointing, and froze in place for a while.

It was a large peach blossom forest, and the intertwined branches of peach blossoms shook off pink and reddish petals with the breeze from time to time.A small wooden house is looming in the middle of the peach blossom forest, and there seems to be the sound of lingling water during the period.

The mountain spring flows loosely around the steps, and thousands of trees and peach blossoms reflect the small building. (Note)

It is simply a paradise.

There are not many people here, walking in the peach blossom forest in twos and threes, most of them are couples.

Ling Guang was pulled into the depths of the peach blossom forest by Jian Bin in the current state of holding hands.

The further you go, the fewer people there are, but the closer you get to the stream.

Jian Bin thought about it before he stopped, let go of Ling Guang's hand, folded his hands behind his back, and changed back to his costume in the world of beasts.

"Ling Guangguang, do you know what month and day it is today?"

Ling Guang met Jian Bin's bright eyes and shook his head slightly.

Jian Bin showed two small canine teeth and replied, "Today is March 21."

"So?" Ling Guang vaguely felt that he had seen this day somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Jian Bin smiled and said nothing, and then stretched out his hands hidden behind his body, holding a white stone between his palms, and the shell of the stone was still glowing with a soft white light.

Ling Guang hesitated for a while before picking it up and asked, "What is this?"

Jian Bin put down his hands and said with a smile, "This is your birthday gift. You probably forgot it too, right? Today is your birthday."

When Ling Guang heard the words, he remembered where he saw the date of March 21st—was it the top of the rice paper where Ling Yun recorded various birthdays and preferences?

Ling Guang's heart warmed, and he said "Thank you" lightly.

A few petals fell from the peach blossom tree behind Jian Bin, and he said with a smile: "By the way, this stone is called the White Tiger Stone, and it is a token of love for our White Tiger Clan. Although it is not as authentic as the Phoenix Feather, , but it can also protect your life at a critical moment."

Ling Guang keenly caught Jian Bin's intentionally speeding up the words "token of love", and Dang even felt that the weight of the stone in the palm of his hand was a lot heavier.

Jian Bin also seemed to be afraid that Ling Guang would have a psychological burden. His furry animal ears moved, and he quickly added: "Ling Guangguang, you don't have to feel heavy. I don't expect extra rewards from you. I haven't found a suitable opportunity before. Give it to you, you will be my wish?"

Jian Bin had already said that, and Ling Guang couldn't refuse anymore. He looked up at the peach blossom forest behind Jian Bin, and then said, "I saw a sycamore tree when I came here just now. If you can pick one When the leaves come back, I will accept them."

Jian Bin's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed back to his human attire, and turned back the same way without saying a word, and went to look for the leaves of the sycamore tree.

Ling Guang made way for Jian Bin, staring at his cheerful white back, his eyes gradually darkened.

He suppressed his voice and said a word to the surroundings in a low voice.

"Jian Bin has left, why don't you show up?"

The author has something to say: Note: "Mountain springs flow loosely around the steps, and thousands of trees and peach blossoms reflect small buildings." From Yuan Zhen's "Lisi"
