Buried fire

Yin Zhu didn't know how long he slept this time, and when he opened his eyes again, he could see from the window of the living room that it was already bright outside.

On a rare sunny day in winter, the weak sunlight breaks through the clouds and falls softly, unable to melt the frost and snow that condenses by the window, and some transparent icicles form on the branches, shining brightly by the sunlight.

where is this?

Yin Zhu moved his gaze back to the ceiling, thinking.

His memory fault was on a day before it snowed, and he was planning to find a dry and comfortable den.The hibernation hole last year was good, but unfortunately there was nothing to eat, but this year he didn't find anything to eat, and he was a little hungry.

The hibernation was coming in menacingly, as if someone pulled his eyelids together, Yin Zhu vaguely remembered that he found a hole and went in. The prototype took up too much space, so he kept his human shape and curled up in the hole, and he could hear screaming outside the hole from time to time. The sound of the wind and snowflakes falling to the ground fell asleep soon after.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a child.

He is a very good-looking child, with natural curly hair, fluffy at first glance, big eyes, straight nose and thin lips, skin that cannot be called white, but very delicate, not very young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with Yin Zhu Looking at it from a different angle, you can still see the child's elongated legs because of the angle of view, which are very straight.

But Yin Zhu at that time was more like the plate of dumplings in the child's hand.

...Mushroom pork stuffing.

Yin Zhu is really a little hungry, no, it should be very hungry, he doesn't remember how long he slept, and he doesn't remember whether he gnawed two mouthfuls of snow on the side of the hole during his sleepy sleep, and his stomach twitched after smelling the fragrance over there. Howling excitedly but lacking the strength to howl, Yin Zhu frowned and heard movement at the dining table.

The child's name was Lu Huanyi, and when he heard that he was hungry, he cooked dumplings for him. Yin Zhu took advantage of the time when he went into the kitchen to cook dumplings, and sat down at the dining table in a leisurely manner.The hibernation hadn't passed yet, and he didn't have the strength to support him. He didn't hear what Lu Huanyi said before he fell asleep after eating the dumplings. He just heard "fuck your mother" through gritted teeth while he was half asleep and half awake, and then he fell into a deeper level. sleep.

Waking up again is now.

Yin Zhu yawned, sat up lazily, and the blanket covering his body slid down to the ground following his movements. He was stunned for a while, then picked up the fluffy blanket and put it on his body again .

"Hey, don't, don't worry about me, I'm very happy here."

Voices came from the bedroom.

"Hmm... Master asked me to find Ming Snake." Lu Huanyi held the phone between his shoulders, tore open a bag of potato chips, and took the phone back into his hand. , besides, I'm not the only one looking for it, so I don't need to work hard."

Yin Zhu paused when he got up.He turned his face to look at the bedroom door, and through the open door, he could still see the child lying on the bed, dangling with his legs crossed, speaking these words very calmly.

They're looking for Snakes.

Yin Zhu's face darkened.

There are too many people in this world who are looking for Snake Singing, they are not the first group, nor are they the first group Yin Zhu heard.

But as soon as he woke up, he heard someone looking for Ming Snake, and he wasn't the only one looking for it. This kind of feeling was hard to describe, especially for a kid who had cooked dumplings for himself and looked relatively harmless.

Yin Zhu took a breath and planned to go back to nest in his cave.

He got up and walked to the window of the living room. Outside the window without a security window was a tree that had lost all its leaves. There were a few gleaming ice strips hanging from the tip of the branch. Under the sunlight, the ice and snow in winter Everything becomes dazzling, and everything in the world becomes hairy.

Yin Zhu opened the window, and a gust of wind blew in his face. He paused, shivered, and closed the window behind his back.

"Oh fuck... what's going on outside my house," Lu Huanyi lowered his voice, rolled over and sat up, "I'll call you again at night, um, I won't kill people by slipping my hands, bye, big brother."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Huanyi took a small chop from under the bed.

He didn't feel any evil spirit, which means that the person making noise outside is a person, and he can't fight with spells and spells, but can only fight by hand.

Fortunately, when I was in Shimen, I fought with that black bear on the mountainside all the year round.

Lu Huanyi hid Xiaocai in his sleeve, got up and opened the door, and before he had time to look up, he saw Yin Zhu was standing by the window, thinking about something with a heavy expression on his face.

"Hey, you're awake," Lu Huanyi relaxed, "Are you still hungry?"

"... Mmm." Yin Zhu turned his head and glanced at Lu Huanyi.

"It's still dumplings," Lu Huanyi pulled out the chopsticks and put them on the coffee table, "There's nothing else at home, so I didn't go out to buy them."

"Yeah." Yin Zhu was still standing there without moving.

Lu Huanyi glanced at him, opened the freezer underneath and took out the dumplings.

There are only two packs left, which is probably enough for the two of them to eat, and they have to go out to buy something else in the afternoon after eating.

But in the winter, he really doesn't want to go out. Even if Lu Huanyi buys vegetables, he won't cook them. He can only buy some instant noodles and quick-frozen food when he goes out to buy food. He doesn't plan to order takeaways.

Yin Zhu didn't know when he moved to the door of the kitchen, staring at Lu Huanyi who was busy in the kitchen with a look on his face that I will fall asleep like a coma in a second, so you move softly and don't scare me.

In fact, Lu Huanyi didn't do much work. Boil the water, put the dumplings, and fish them out, three very simple steps, but Yin Zhu just leaned there and watched intently. Lu Huanyi knew that he was watching and didn't turn his head.

After Yin Zhu fell asleep that day, he thought a lot.

Yin Zhu is not an ordinary person.

But I didn't detect any evil spirit from his body, and he couldn't be regarded as a ghost if he had a body temperature.

So he is either a monster with a higher cultivation base than himself, or a Taoist priest with a higher cultivation base than himself.

Anyway, he hid a bit of breath and didn't let himself find out, it's just that his cultivation base is higher than his own.

Then this man with a higher cultivation level than himself was leaning against the door frame, looking at him like a gentleman, not at all intending to come in and help, although there was nothing to help.

Lu Huanyi couldn't help but glanced back, Yin Zhu was about to fall asleep again!

Are you hungry?

"Uncle Yin, don't sleep!" Lu Huanyi yelled, "The dumplings are about to be cooked!"

Yin Zhu woke up forcibly from that voice, rubbed his eyes and slowly moved into the kitchen.

It was said to be moving, but actually it was gliding. Lu Huanyi didn't see him stepping forward. This person moved forward in a very strange way in parallel to Lu Huanyi's side, "What are you calling me?"

"Uncle Yin," Lu Huanyi tapped the pot with a colander, "Sleep after eating, and eat when you wake up, isn't it uncle, is it a pig?"

After he finished speaking, he paused, then glanced at Yin Zhu in surprise, "You can't really be a pig demon, can you?"

Yin Zhu stood aside and pursed his lips without saying a word.

"What kind of monster are you? Or a Taoist priest? Talk about it without losing your meat," Lu Huanyi poked Yin Zhu with his elbow, and before the other party could react, he picked up the plate on the side and began to fish out dumplings, "Say it. "

Yin Zhu still didn't speak.

He could see that this kid has a lot of knowledge, not accumulated over the years, but born with extraordinary talents, and he has made rapid progress with the guidance of an expert, but he is not as good as himself, so he didn't realize that he was the Naming Snake he was looking for .

But the child can ignore the key information that he doesn't have any spells or evil spirits on his body, and asks you whether you are a demon or a Taoist priest. This sentence shocked him.

I can't be human anymore?

Yin Zhu lowered his head to look at his legs, and then looked at the blurry shadow from the window facing the kitchen, and felt that he should be quite human.

"I'm human." Yin Zhu nodded after finishing speaking.

"Oh," Lu Huanyi nodded, without saying anything, took out the two plates of dumplings and put them on the dining table, then glanced at Yin Zhu who was slowly moving out from behind, pointed at the dining table and said, "Then you explain, How can a person smash his head on the concave dining table and still not have any wounds, you can cover the entire moat if you let go of your face?"

Yin Zhu glanced at the place he was pointing at. There was a groove there, the size of a head, and there were several obvious cracks underneath.

"...I," Yin Zhu thought for a while, "head iron."

"...Fuck," Lu Huanyi rolled his eyes very hard, "Don't eat if you don't tell the truth."

"Snake." Yin Zhu quickly said, "I am a snake."

"A thousand-year-old snake?" Lu Huanyi was stunned for a moment, thinking that his explanation was quite reasonable.Snakes hibernate in winter, which can explain why he can sleep like that anytime, anywhere.

"En." Yin Zhu nodded, still staring at the two plates of dumplings on the table.

Lu Huanyi felt guilty from watching it.

A man in his 20s stared intently at a plate of dumplings.

...It's too fucking pitiful.

"Forget it," Lu Huanyi said, "Come over and eat, one day I find out that you lied to me and I will twist your head off to sacrifice to heaven."

Yin Zhu didn't pay attention to Lu Huanyi's last words, moved to the table and sat down, and finished the two full plates of dumplings with Lu Huanyi.

This time after eating, Yin Zhu fell asleep without falling down, but he didn't have to stand up to help clean up, so he slumped on the chair without bones, watching Lu Huanyi lazily put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen sink to wash, He walked out again and sat cross-legged on the sofa, ignoring himself.

He slept for a long time and was not sleepy for the time being, but it didn't make much sense to just sit on the chair like this, and the chair was uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, so he just stood up and started to move towards Lu Huanyi.

Lu Huanyi was just holding a glass of water ready to drink, and glanced at Yin Zhu, who almost choked on the intake pipe, "Can you change your way of walking? Can we lift our right foot and left foot?"

"En." Yin Zhuping moved to Lu Huanyi's side, and nestled comfortably in the sofa, "No."

Lu Huanyi drank a few more sips of water, and the TV screen just happened to be showing commercials. I don't know where the brainwashing divine comedy came from.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, there is no one to replace you when you get sick...

The mobile phone on the table vibrated, Lu Huanyi picked it up, "Hello? Master."

"Sui Sui," the old man on the other end of the phone coughed twice, "Are you still used to living here?"

"It's okay." Lu Huanyi said, "What's wrong?"

"Your senior uncle and senior brother have come to me at regular intervals these days and asked me why I let you go down the mountain. It's annoying me to death," the master said, "Let you feel my troubles."

After speaking, he turned on the phone and put it outside.

The voices of the senior uncles and senior brothers also came from the other end of the phone.

It was very lively, everyone was asking Master why he went down the mountain by himself as the Chinese New Year approached. Judging from the tone, if Master couldn't beat him, he would have wanted to go out and fight.

"You tell my second uncle to keep your voice down," Lu Huanyi smiled, "Last time Er Ya's dog was deaf after being yelled at by him, and it hasn't been cured yet."

"You know how to run on me!" The second uncle yelled again, and Lu Huanyi took the phone away.

"Your voice doesn't need to be squeezed every year," an unknown senior brother said, "We have to stick sound-absorbing notes in the room every morning meeting, otherwise people would have complained about disturbing the people."

There was a commotion on the other end of the phone, and there was a lot of laughter, and Lu Huanyi also laughed for a while.

Senior Brother and the others still like to run on Second Senior Brother very much, and they will also have the courage to bully Master. When they speak, they look like they are trying to force the palace, but they will not say anything particularly excessive.

The master and the uncle are just happy, and after the music is over, they casually joke a few words and start to laugh again.

They had a good time even when they were not on the mountain.

pretty good.

Lu Huanyi's fingers tapped on the table.

Yin Zhu nestled next to Lu Huanyi, watching his ups and downs after answering a phone call, the corners of his mouth that were originally upturned slowly drooped down, and even the little curly hair on the top of his head fell listlessly. of.

He could hear the commotion on the other end of the phone, but Lu Huanyi pursed his lips inexplicably, his eyes were a little wandering, and he couldn't find where he was.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Huanyi stared at the TV for a long time before saying, "Are you hibernating?"

After saying this sentence, he felt that it was nonsense, but Yin Zhu obviously didn't care, and replied vaguely: "Yes."

"Oh." Lu Huanyi didn't know what he was thinking, and replied dryly, "Oh."
