A hundred years in the human world is like a dream, but the weight of it is no less than that of any living being.
Su Yuer and the other two fox girls sat quietly at the table until the smoke from the incense burner dissipated, and then they slowly came back to their senses. They always felt that they had some understanding, something was blocked in their chests, and they wanted to say it, but when they opened their mouths, they found that there was no language to describe such feelings.
Hu Mei supported her chin with one hand, sighed melancholy, and said: "I think I know why so many sisters always yearn for the human world. Although it doesn't feel as good as I thought before, it's still very good, and it's more real."
Su Yuer nodded slightly in agreement.
He looked up at Wei Yuan leaning against the door, thought for a moment, and made a suggestion that was immediately agreed by the two fox girls -
"Should we go to the city outside to see these two old men?"
For some reason, Qingqiu, which had always forbidden young fox girls to go out, rarely agreed this time, but the old fox guarding the Qingqiu Road smiled and made another request, saying: "But you need to find a trustworthy guide."
This old fox is said to be very old.
When he was young, he once wandered in the human world and left the name of the sky fox.
After encountering some things, he gave up the prosperity of the outside world and returned to Qingqiu to guard this crucial road. In the entire Qingqiu country, not many fox demons know the name of this old man, nor do they know his age, but everyone has an impression that when they were young, they had asked for candy from the old fox.
When they grew up, they also listened to his stories.
So as they got older, they respected him more and more.
With the elders' words, the three fox girls had to go back and block the relieved Si Li Xiaowei at the door.
Because this outing was ultimately due to him, Wei Yuan had to take this responsibility. This time was different from when he arrived in Qingqiu. Before, he relied on the passage opened by the token, but this time he went through the main gate.
Guarding the gate of Qingqiu was an old man with white beard and hair.
The three fox girls walked in front. After all, the reality of Qingqiu was different from the dream. Except for Su Yuer, Hu Mei and Su Yaner were a little excited. They kept whispering to each other and occasionally couldn't help laughing. Wei Yuan walked behind.
After Su Yaner and the other two saluted with the old fox fairy of unknown age, they walked out of Qingqiu.
When Wei Yuan passed by, the old fox smiled and bowed:
"These three children, I am sorry to bother the general."
Wei Yuan was surprised, and immediately returned the salute, and then followed.
Su Yuer and the other two were waiting outside. Su Yuer looked back at the land connecting the two worlds and vaguely saw the Qingqiu Guardian talking to the human youth, but she didn't care.
The city in the dream and the ordinary world are not much different in general structure.
The three fox girls used a simple invisibility spell, and Wei Yuan only covered the sword behind him.
Crossed the bridge and walked to the old road with tall sycamore trees on both sides.
In the distance ahead, you can see the tall flagpole in the school. The impression in the dream and the reality are intertwined, which makes people feel touched. Wei Yuan bought some fruit and went to the hospital. He said that he was a friend of the old man's grandson and was entrusted to come here to see them.
The old man on the bed has fallen asleep again.
The old lady was surprised that someone came to visit, and hurriedly asked him to sit down.
Wei Yuan was going to pour water, but he naturally didn't want the old lady to do this. He washed the fruit and put it on the cabinet next to the bed. Seeing the old man's peaceful look, the old lady next to him said a little embarrassedly: "It's rare for you to make a trip. It's really too much trouble for you, young man."
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "What's the trouble?"
"I envy you two for being able to walk all the way together and be happy. It's rare to see you in person. I can't miss this opportunity."
Wei Yuan chatted with the old man about some family matters, and in the invisible world, three beautiful or cute fox girls were listening on the side, with furry ears emerging from their soft hair, standing quietly, or sitting on the windowsill, shaking their legs, their eyes full of curiosity.
Little things that kept nagging.
It was just a very ordinary life, but it felt special when witnessing their lifelong feelings.
Su Yan'er and Hu Mei listened very seriously.
Su Yuer was listening intently, but she slowly sensed a strange smell.
She frowned slightly, not wanting to cause trouble, but the smell was too pungent, making her extremely unhappy. After a little thought, she whispered to Wei Yuan, hiding her real purpose, and just said that she wanted to take a walk around here. Wei Yuan didn't seem to think much about it, but just nodded in agreement.
Su Yuer still kept the invisibility spell and walked out of the ward.
Follow the smell that made her unhappy.
The further she walked to the northeast, the stronger the smell became. Finally, she stopped in front of a ward. Su Yuer followed the nurse who entered the door and walked in. Then she looked at one of the beds. On the bed lay a very skinny young man with his eyes tightly closed, and the smell that made her feel weird and unhappy came from it.
There were family members next to them, wiping tears and crying to others.
Su Yuer pondered, lightly tapped her fingers, and used the fox demon's magical power to slightly change, so that the family members could slowly tell what happened.
She glanced at the medical record in the nurse's hand.
Name: Du Hongyi.
Age: 29.
.........
It was only after Du Hongyi disappeared for seven days that someone called the police.
The person who called the police was his fiancée.
Because Du Hongyi had not returned home for a long time, I felt very uneasy. At first, it was because Du Hongyi had said before that he planned to go to Changbai Mountain for a trip on this business trip. I just thought that he was delayed because he had too much fun, but later I found something wrong. The phone could not be reached, and there was no reply to the message on the Internet.
After asking the people at work, I found that Du Hongyi had been out of contact for such a long time.
This made me very confused and I hurried to call the police.
Later, the police investigated and found that Du Hongyi had returned here by car on the day of climbing Changbai Mountain. However, when the surveillance was checked, something extremely strange was discovered. After he got off the car, he walked to a remote place in a daze. Finally, a search and rescue dog was used to search the mountain directly to find Du Hongyi.
For some reason, the whole person was already as thin as a stick.
He was unconscious, and after waking up, he just shouted "Azi, Azi", as if he was crazy, and did not recognize the people around him. He asked in a stern voice that he was clearly at home with his wife, why did these people separate them? !
When she said this, Du Hongyi's mother couldn't help but wipe away tears again.
"That's not a mansion at all!"
"When we found him, he was lying straight in the coffin, almost dying."
"After he woke up, he didn't look like a human being, but like a fox or a wild dog in the wild. We could only send him here to take a look."
She started crying again, and her relatives and friends around her hurried to comfort her. They just looked at Du Hongyi who had fallen asleep under the effect of the sedative, with a bit of pity in their eyes. Su Yuer stretched out her finger and stirred the air slightly. An invisible air from Du Hongyi was pulled to her finger, and she looked a little disgusted.
After taking a look at the room, he walked out and called Su Yan'er and Hu Mei to come over. He briefly explained the matter, then showed the aura and said:
"It's a wild fox spirit."
"This kind of fox spirit harms people outside and absorbs people's yang energy to ruin the reputation of our Qingqiu. It is obviously their evil deeds, but in the end it has implicated our lineage."
Su Yan'er said: "This... what should we do? Tell the elders?"
Hu Mei's eyes lit up slightly, and she rubbed her hands and said: "The people in charge of Qingqiu now don't like to get involved in human affairs. It's definitely useless to talk to them. Why don't we catch this wild fox spirit that harms people? Or send it to the Jinyiwei in the human world! Hehe, then those elders will definitely look at us with new eyes!"
Su Yan'er was also a little moved.
They were all young, always a little reckless and impulsive. In addition, they were born in famous families. In fact, they didn't look down on these wild spirits who took crooked ways to harm people. After a little discussion, the three of them decided to deal with this guy personally.
Su Yan'er asked again: "Should we tell Master Wei?"
Su Yu'er thought about it and shook her head: "No."
"I saw that he didn't seem to have much Taoism and his magic was weak. He only captured the evildoer yesterday with the help of that spirit beast. Those wild vixens are best at targeting men, and their magic also includes many means of seduction. Now that his spirit beast is not around, we must not harm him."
"Let's think of a way to get rid of him."
"Okay."
Wei Yuan was chatting with the old man when he suddenly heard a crisp voice:
"Master Wei, Master Wei."
"We really want the same desserts that the girls out there like now. Could you please buy some milk tea? I want vanilla flavor."
"I want lemon juice."
"Hey, please, Master Wei."
Wei Yuan was slightly stunned, and then reluctantly agreed to these requests. The old man was talking about how his wife woke up today, and when the doctor asked about it, his wife muttered that she dreamed of a young man pushing him, and then woke up. The doctor was confused. It's impossible that there are gods, right?
The nurse next to him muttered, "Who knows?"
"Maybe there is, the world is so big."
Such a statement made the old lady laugh, and she looked at Wei Yuan and said, "What do you think, Xiao Wei?"
"This, modern times still need to be scientific."
"It's probably just an ordinary dream of the old man, no need to explain too much."
Wei Yuan answered, then raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw from the window that three fox girls who had cast the invisibility spell were going to one side. Wei Yuan promised the old fox fairy to take care of these three fox girls, and he was also curious about what these three guys were going to do.
After a few more pleasantries, he got up and said goodbye.
The old lady was surprised and asked, "Won't you sit for a while?"
Wei Yuan smiled and said, "No, I still have some things to deal with."
He paused and said sincerely, "There may not be many opportunities to meet in the future. I hope you two can continue like this."
Perhaps it is rare for someone to say such a thing so solemnly. The old lady was surprised, then slowly nodded and agreed:
"Thank you."
Wei Yuan smiled and walked out.
A young man was carrying a bag and hurriedly walked in. Wei Yuan politely made way for him to come in first. The old man on the bed seemed to be awakened by the footsteps. He slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to see who was making so much noise, but saw that it was his grandson.
Before he could be happy, his eyes fell on the man who smiled and nodded to his grandson and then walked out the door. Even though he was getting older and had let go of everything, the old man still felt a shock in his heart and almost subconsciously wanted to sit up.
The young man who came over hurriedly tried to stop the old man's violent movements:
"Hey, wait, old man, you are just fine, lie down first."
But the old man clapped his hands in disdain.
Unfortunately, the young man had already left with this interruption.
The old man had to sigh and lie down. The old lady was happy to see her grandson. She smiled and took the freshly washed fruit, exchanged a few words, and said: "Look at you, kid, why didn't you stop your classmates just now?"
"Classmates? What classmates?"
The young man was at a loss.
The old lady was surprised and said, "Isn't the young man who just walked out your friend, visiting your grandfather on your behalf?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No."
"This is the first time I see him."
"I have seen him."
It was the old man on the bed who spoke. He lay down, resting his head on the pillow, but felt his head buzzing. He was silent for a long time and said, "It was he who pushed me in the dream, and I woke up. And, and I always feel that this is not the first time I have seen him..."
He seemed to have returned to his youth, riding a bike, and chatting up young people.
He glanced at it from the corner of his eyes.
Beside the road, there was a young man wearing black clothes and carrying a sword.
At that time, the trees on both sides of the road were not so old, and the leaves could not cover the road.
He couldn't believe it, and almost said in a dream:
"I have seen him before."
"Seventy years ago."
"He was exactly the same as now..."
The room was dead silent.
