Chapter 1 Late Mysterious Boy (Please Collect)
Instract
The white clothes stained with blood were worn on the man's body, like the free-hand plum blossoms on rice paper. He once again blocked his opponent's claws with the sword in his hand with a beautiful posture.
He has long been unable to distinguish the blood on his body, which are companions, which are his own, and which are enemies. He has been fighting for too long.
This is the longest night he has spent in 400 years. This night he has experienced too much life and death. He was tired and his consciousness gradually blurred. His wife was lying not far away. He wanted to lie next to her immediately, but before that, he had to end the battle.
He is actually not very sure about the enemy who had seriously injured his father in front of him, but he knew that there was no way out.
He finally seized the opportunity to cut off the machete-like nails on the enemy's left claw, and then a sword pierced his chest. The monster wearing a cyan tiger head mask did not break free, but took a few steps forward through his sword through his body, and then inserted his other sharp claw into the artery on his shoulder.
Chapter 1
The sun melts the morning fog and water vapor together. This is the most common morning in the small city of Yongchuan. Xia Qiu tossed and turned in the quilt for a long time, and finally made up his mind to get up.
Today is the day when she goes to high school to report, but she doesn't expect much, because she knows very well that in this small Yongchuan, most of the high school students are still junior high school students. For her, the 16 years of living here seem to be no different every day. The streets are still not very wide, and the house is still an ancient building with green bricks and white tiles.
But even so, she still loves here deeply. It is calm and peaceful, picturesque, facing mountains in the east and dense forests in the west, always making people full of imagination isolated from the noisy civilized world. Perhaps because of this, there are so many ancient legends that she may never get tired of.
Although I don't know how many of those legends are real and how many are fabricated by adults to scare children, Xia Qiu is deeply fascinated. Especially about the legend of the road to the demon world hidden in the Yongchuan forest, she will never get tired of hearing it. Humans who got lost in the forest strayed into the demon world and saw the fantastic scenery that they had never seen in their lives, but they were fascinated by the soul.
Because of that legend, she has fallen in love with Yongchuan Forest since she was a child. As long as she is free, she will go there. Unfortunately, the road to the demon world has never been found by her, but she has encountered unprecedented danger.
It was an evening when she was six years old. On that day, she sat quietly on the shore of the Silver Moon Lake in the Yongchuan Forest as usual, and suddenly heard the bursts from the bushes behind her. She summoned up the courage to run over to find out. In the open space behind the bushes, six or seven black foxes were besieging a silver-white little fox.
The little fox has extraordinary beauty. Every hair is like sterling silver velvet. Its right front paw has been injured, and the wound is bleeding. It mutters and retreats step by step until it is against a big tree. There is no way to retreat. There is a trace of despair in the little fox's blue-gray pupils.
Seeing that the black foxes were about to launch another attack on it, the courage of six-year-old Xia Qiu came from nowhere. Perhaps from the moment she saw its eyes, she decided to protect it!
She grabbed a stick on the ground and rushed up, blocking the little fox and waving in front of the black foxes. To be honest, she was so scared that her hands were waving but her legs were shaking. For her, this group of beasts looks more terrible than the legendary monsters.
The green cold light burst out from the eyes of the black foxes. The leading black fox tried to pounce on her, and she subconsciously swung the stick in her hand. This time, it hit the head of the black fox. It screamed and fell to one side. The other black foxes slowly stepped back a few steps, and then howled and turned around and ran away.
Although the fox who was injured by her was still unwilling, he looked at her angrily for a few seconds. Seeing that she was still holding the stick tightly and did not flinch, he also turned around and rushed into the bushes and disappeared.
Xia Qiu slowly put down her little shoulders, which were raised high in fear, and fell to the ground with relief. In a half a sound, she came back to see how the silver-white fox behind her was injured. Its small body curled up into a ball, trembling, licking the wound on its front paws from time to time. When she tentatively stretched out her little hand to it, although it was a little vigilant, it did not resist, she stroked it a few times on top of its head, and then took off the hairband on her head to simply wrap the wound for it. At this time, the little fox had completely relaxed its vigilance, and it fell asleep in her comfort.
Xia Qiu couldn't leave it there anyway, so she ran home with it in her arms. After passing through her yard, she deliberately bypassed her grandfather who was repairing the courtyard fence. As soon as she entered the door, she rushed into her room in a panic, put the little fox in **, and then hurriedly rushed into the front hall to find the medicine box on the cabinet, and then folded the medicine box back to her room, recalling the milk every time she was injured. The milk bandaged itself, while carefully untied the hairband that had temporarily tied the wound to it, and carefully dealt with the wound for the little fox.
After treating the wound for the little fox, Xia Qiu couldn't help looking at it. How could there be such a beautiful animal in the world? She thought.
"Let's live in our house in the future." She said to it gently, trying to keep it by her side all the time.
At night, she pretended to fall asleep early. In fact, she couldn't trust the little fox and wanted to watch it all the time.
"It's good that you're here..." She gently hugged it, muttered this sentence repeatedly, and unconsciously fell asleep.
But when she woke up in the morning, the little fox disappeared, and she was somewhat disappointed. It still left, silently and without a trace, just as it had never appeared. Except for the blood-stained hairband left on the table, which can prove that it once existed, what happened yesterday was like a dream for her.
But the gray-blue pupils were deeply imprinted in Xia Qiu's mind and engraved on her heart, so that for many years after that, she always looked for its trace in the forest, looking forward to its appearance, but never touched it again.
"Xiaoqiu."
When approaching the gate of Yongchuan High School, Xia Qiu was stopped by a sweet honey-like sound. Before she could raise her head, a pair of outstretched arms put their arms around her neck.
Liu Lingmei rubbed around Xia Qiu's face like a cat, and the people who passed by couldn't help looking at her strangely.
"Lingmei."
Xia Qiu gently patted her on the back, just like comforting a pet. The little girl with Lori's figure in front of her, who is almost suffocating her, has been her best friend since elementary school.
"Xiaoqiu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Let me have a good look!"
"It hasn't been that long. Haven't you only been away for two weeks? And I just talked on the phone yesterday.
Liu Lingmei was obviously not satisfied with Xia Qiu's attitude. She let go of her hand and stared at her angrily.
Xia Qiu has long been used to her surprise and a somewhat dramatic personality. Although her personality often gives her a headache, if she is not around, it is really a little unaccustomed.
Liu Lingmei wore a light yellow dress today, and the ribbons tied with her hair are of the same color. She just came back from a beach vacation with her family two weeks ago. Although she was not tanned, she added a few cute freckles, which made the beautiful little face more playful and very pleasant.
"Let's go and see how the class is divided. If we delay like this, we have to be late."
Xia Qiu picked up Lingmei and walked to the school. The list of classes was posted on the publicity column in front of the teaching building. By that time, they were already full of people.
"Ah, why am I so short?"
Liu Lingmei complained and tiptoed to look in from behind the crowd. The boy standing in front of her looked back at her and gave up his place to her. No wonder who has the heart to stand in front of such a cute girl.
Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei were lucky to be in Class One. When they walked into the classroom of Class 1 of Senior High School, there were already many students and several familiar faces, all of whom had been in the same class or school since junior high school. They found their pre-arranged seats on the blackboard and walked to their seats. Lingmei was divided into a row of window seats, while Xia Qiu sat in the penultimate row.
"We are in the same class again, Xia Qiu."
As she walked back, a boy stopped Xia Qiu. As soon as she looked up, it turned out to be Du He, who had been in the same class in junior high school. Speaking of which, the relationship between them had always been good. I didn't see him during a summer vacation. Du He seemed to be a little tanned, but his smile was still bright.
"Yes."
Xia Qiu smiled at him and walked back to his seat. It was better for her to have Du He sitting in front of her right. His grades have always been very good, and he is also cheerful and talkative.
After a while, except for the position behind Xia Qiu, everything else was filled one after another. She looked at the blackboard, and the name behind her was Ouyang Xiao Leng. This is a very special name. The compound surname is already rare, and there are not many people with cold words in the name.
She filtered it in her mind and had never heard of the name in elementary school or junior high school. What kind of person will be the owner of this name? Boys or girls? When a person begins to care about a name he has never heard of, he also has a sense of mystery about the owner of that name.
Suddenly, the pre-bell disturbed her thoughts. With a crisp and rapid sound of high-heeled shoes, a woman in her early thirties came in. Her contoured face is painted with light makeup, and her long wavy hair is casually draped behind her shoulders. She wears an extremely simple white shirt, blue washed jeans, and black stiletto high heels. It is simple and elegant, but it makes people suspect that she has gone to the wrong place. The big screen may be more suitable for her than the podium.
"Good morning, students. I'm Dong Muya, your head teacher! At the same time, I will also teach you Chinese class. First of all, welcome to Class 1 of Senior High School!"
The woman's tone is as neat and straightforward as her appearance, and her voice is not loud but very penetrating. The aura emanating from her body makes the whole classroom quiet from the moment she came in.
At this time, a thin and tall teenager suddenly stood outside the door of the classroom. He lowered his head, his bangs blocked his eyes, and his white T-shirt and beige trousers were natural and casual. His hands were in his trousers pockets, and his schoolbag was casually carried on one side of his shoulders.
"It's not good to be late for class on the first day, Ouyang Xiao Leng!" Dong Muya found that the students' attention had shifted from herself to Ouyang Xiaoling at the door of the classroom, and said to him a little seriously.
Ouyang Xiao Leng looked up at her without any expression on her face, but the handsome face made the girls in the classroom excited.
"Come in and go back to your position."
Dong Muya shook her head and pointed to him in the direction of the last row. He still walked in the direction she pointed to with a blank face, without squining or saying a word.
I don't know why, looking at Ouyang Xiao Leng coming in his direction, Xia Qiu actually had some dizziness. His face is indeed beautiful, and that beauty will only make people have two kinds of feelings, admiration and jealousy. But what made her unable to breathe was his eyes. The gray-blue eyes were as deep as the lake in the quiet night. Looking at them, it seemed that she was going to sink into it. She felt that she had known those eyes, but she couldn't remember when and where it was. When he passed by her, his eyes seemed to stay on her face for a moment, but she did not dare to look directly at him.
Teachers of all subjects met with everyone in the morning, followed by the opening ceremony and the visit to the school's facilities under the guidance of senior student representatives. The most popular thing in the whole campus is a huge banyan tree by the playground. Although it is not the flowering period at this time, she thinks it will be beautiful here in spring.
Like her, it was the teenager named Ouyang Xiao Leng who stopped under the tree. Standing side by side with him, Xia Qiu found that he was far taller than he thought. The atmosphere between them was so special that she couldn't guess whether he had something to say to herself or simply liked the tree as much as she did. For a moment, she was at a loss, but Liu Lingmei suddenly jumped out.
"I'm still looking for you everywhere. Why are you standing here stupidly?"
Almost as soon as Liu Lingmei appeared, Ouyang Xiao Leng turned around and walked away, as if he had deliberately avoided her.
"It's inexplicable. Did I offend him?" Liu Ling looked at his back puzzledly and pouted.
"Lingmei, have you ever had the feeling of déjà vu? It always seems that I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it. Xia Qiu said to herself.
"Do you have known each other? Do you mean with this tree?
Liu Lingmei was stunned by Xia Qiu's question, and then couldn't stop laughing. Xia Qiu was also amused. In her eyes, Lingmei is sometimes really silly and cute.
