Leaving the hut, Huang Dan and Liu Chu ate in a restaurant on the street, their chests pressed against their backs with hunger.

There was no one in the restaurant, nor on the street, they hadn’t come out of Tian family’s affairs yet.

The guys served the food and drinks quickly.

Huang Dan picked up his chopsticks, poked through a plate of shredded potatoes, put one chopstick in his mouth, and frowned, “It’s not as delicious as your cooking.”

The corner of Liu Chu’s lips curled up, “That is.”

He poured a glass of wine, “Eldest Young Master, you can make do with it. When this matter is over, I will cook for you every day.”

Huang Dan’s voice was vague, “Okay.”

Liu Chu took a sip of wine, “You did a good job testing Juan’er.”

Huang Dan said, “It’s okay, if you have done it, it will be better.”

Liu Chu was startled, and then smiled wickedly, “I will be proud if you praise me so much.”

Huang Dan, “……”

The two ate and drank quietly, like an old couple.

After a while, Huang Dan said, “The demon has done his best for Tian’s family, will he still risk his life at night?”

Liu Chu clicked his tongue, “The scholar will not ignore Juan’er, she is his only family member in this world.”

Huang Dan understands.

The scholar will find a way to move that demon.

After dinner, Huang Dan and Liu Chu wandered around the street then returned to the mansion.

At this point in time, it was still early before dark.

Liu Chu practiced with knives in the courtyard.

Sitting at the stone table, Huang Dan drank tea and ate dim sum without stopping. When Liu Chu came to rest, he had just finished eating two plates of dim sum.

Liu Chu was panting while dragging the cloth towel to wipe off his sweat, “Didn’t you have lunch? You also ate two bowls of rice, why have you been eating all the time after you came back?”

Huang Dan said, “I’m thinking about something.”

Seeing no one around, Liu Chu threw the cloth towel on the table and bent down to pat the young man’s stomach, “It’s been five or six months at least.”

Huang Dan asked, “Do you want to be a father?”

Liu Chu shook his head and said he didn’t want to, and whispered in his ear, “I just want to be your husband.”

Huang Dan said, “You already are.”

Liu Chu sat on his lap, “Not yet, we didn’t get married.”

Huang Dan pushed the man’s back, “Get off my lap first, we’ll talk later.”

Sweat dripped from Liu Chu’s hair, and he quickly kissed the young man on the lips, “Let me sit for a while.”

Huang Dan was speechless, “Aren’t there several stools here?”

Liu Chu has thick skin and face, “The stool is not as comfortable as your thighs.”

Huang Dan, “……”

He pushed the man again, “Get up, my leg hurts.”

Liu Chu said shamelessly, “Can’t get up.”

The weight on Huang Dan’s leg was particularly heavy. It was not a person, but a gorilla. He wanted to get the man up quickly, but he said without thinking, “I want to do it.”

These three words are omnipotent and can be used at any time.

As soon as Liu Chu heard this, he immediately got up, dragged Huang Dan back to the room, and kicked the door shut.

It was dusk when the door opened.

Liu Chu went out and came back again, holding a basin of warm water in his hand, and his footsteps were fast, causing the servants to look sideways.

When the door was closed again, the servants were whispering in the corridor.

“You said, what can two great masters do in the room ? That will take a whole afternoon.”

“I don’t know, maybe something big.”

“I heard from the kitchen when I went out to buy some vegetables, and I came back in a hurry. It was said that everyone was very scared because the rumors were so powerful. The Young Master and Chief Liu were most likely talking about the morning.”

“Don’t do anything bad, and don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. I didn’t do anything, and even if the ghost comes, it won’t hurt me.”

“What you said sounds like the sisters have done something outrageous.”

“that is!”

“Okay, stop talking, really, are you trying to invite the demon?”

The faces of the servants all changed, and they left at a faster pace.

In the room, after Liu Chu scrubbed Huang Dan, he found clean clothes for him to change, and the work was done very quickly.

Huang Dan was at last gasp, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

He let the man put on his underwear, put on his coat, button up his buttons, and put on his socks, all in a half-dead state during the whole process.

Liu Chu put the second sock on the young man, “You crybaby……”

Huang Dan’s voice was hoarse, “I don’t like to cry, I’m just afraid of pain.”

Liu Chu frowned, “There’s no reason, we’ve been together many times, you shouldn’t be in pain.”

Huang Dan tilted his head, stretched out his hand to gesture, “You are like this, can I not hurt?”

Liu Chu’s face twitched, saying that there was no way, he was born like that, and couldn’t become smaller. He leaned over and took a bite on the tip of the young man’s nose, “Eldest Young Master, are you only in pain? Are you not happy?”

Huang Dan pursed his lips, “The happier you are, the more I will be in pain, the more I will be in pain, the happier you will be.”

Liu Chu’s breathing suddenly stopped and became heavy. He stared straight at the young man, his eyes were so hot that could burn him, “Do you dare to say that you are not seducing me?”

Huang Dan said, “Go out and close the door, I’m going to sleep.”

Liu Chu rubbed against the young man’s neck, “Not going out, I want to sleep with you.”

Huang Dan said, “Then be obedient and don’t make trouble for no reason.”

Liu Chu’s eyebrows were raised immediately, the corners of his eyes were hanging, and he asked fiercely, “Am I making trouble for no reason?”

Huang Dan said, “Now that is.”

Liu Chu, “……”

Huang Dan was in pain all over his body, “Turn me over.”

Liu Chu stopped being angry and making trouble for no reason, and asked with concern, “Would you like to lie on your side or on your back?”

Huang Dan said, “Lie on my side, don’t want to press my butt.”

Liu Chu hugged the young man’s waist, “I’ll be gentle next time.”

Huang Dan didn’t bother picking on his previous record of lying. If he picked it up, he didn’t know where to start, “Okay.”

The room fell silent, the two lay on the bed together, one was tired and fell asleep, the other was full of energy, suppressing the blood in his body, kissing this and that, having a good time.

After kissing for a long time, Liu Chu stared at the young man in his arms, he couldn’t help laughing, he was laughing alone, his face was full of happiness, “It’s so good.”

My Eldest Young Master, it’s great to meet you, fall in love with you, and you like me too.

That night, a fight broke out in the courtyard.

Liu Chu took Si Mao and they surrounded the demon who came to rescue Juan’er.

The demon still wears the cloak, and wears Boss Dai’s face. It doesn’t wear perfume, and the stench is disgusting.

Si Mao and the others were so frightened that the knife in their hands was shaking, and it took a long time for them to recover.

Liu Chu said, “Stand back, find a place to hide, and don’t come out no matter what happens.”

As he spoke, he swung his knife at the demon.

Huang Dan looked around, hid in a corner, and pushed through the bushes to see the situation of the battle.

He opened his eyes slightly, he didn’t expect Liu Chu, an ordinary person, to be on par with a demon that can transform into any form.

Si Mao was blown away and fell beside Huang Dan. He clutched his chest and vomited two mouthfuls of blood.

Huang Dan asked, “Are you okay?”

Si Mao said that he couldn’t die, so he clenched the handle of the knife, pushed himself on the ground, and fell down again.

Huang Dan helped him up.

Si Mao wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand, “Young Master Song, the monster wearing Boss Dai’s skin is too scary, we are no match for it at all.”

Huang Dan said, “No, Chief Liu has the upper hand.”

“Impossible……”

Seeing the Boss’s long knife sweeping across and making a gash on the demon’s arm, the next word in Si Mao’s mouth froze on the tip of his tongue.

Huang Dan said, “The blood from the demon’s wound is not red, but milky white. Is it coconut essence?”

Si Mao asked curiously, “What is a coconut?”

Huang Dan said, “A kind of fruit.”

“……”

Si Mao thought to himself, he should go to help the Boss, “Young Master Song, go a little further, if anything happens to you, the boss will cry to death.”

The meaning of this sentence is obvious.

Si Mao has already discovered that the boss has an unsophisticated relationship with Young Master Song. He didn’t say it before, but this time he was afraid of accidents, so he just talked quickly and jumped out.

Huang Dan was taken aback, and quickly found another place to hide without delay.

He doesn’t have much force, so he can’t come out and stand there, otherwise he will harm others and himself.

There were chaotic footsteps coming from far and near. The servants of the Song family and the instructors of the ancestral hall all came over. Before they could beat them, they retched from the smell.

Huang Dan could see that the only one who could fight the demon was Liu Chu.

A demon is a demon, Huang Dan is so concealed, yet he was discovered by it.

After confirming that it would not be able to deal with Liu Chu for a while, it targeted Liu Chu’s only weakness, which was also a fatal weakness.

Behind Huang Dan is a wall, and he has no way out.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Chu kicked Huang Dan to block the demon’s blow.

The demon took the opportunity to stretch out its claws to grab Liu Chu’s life gate, and suddenly a white light appeared, and everyone present was forced to close their eyes.

Their vision recovered, Liu Chu fell to the ground, and the demon disappeared.

The scene of that night spread in the town.

Chief Liu was brave and courageous, and beat the demon to death with the help of the power of the gods. He was seriously injured and unconscious.

Everyone said that Chief Liu was the lucky star of the town, and built a stone statue for him, and put it together with the stone tablet at the entrance of the town.

The doctor couldn’t explain Liu Chu’s situation, but he just did his best and obeyed the destiny.

Huang Dan’s mission was completed. He was doing three things every day, one was waiting for Liu Chu to wake up, the other was waiting to leave this world, and the third was sorting out the old lady Song’s belongings.

One afternoon, Huang Dan was burning some clothes worn by the old lady, and a small book fell out. He opened it and read it, and got the answer to a puzzle that had not been solved.

It turned out that when Tian’s house was burned, the original owner was near Tian’s house. When he saw the demon, he fainted from fright.

Because of the fright, the original owner fell ill and forgot about that night.

The old lady was also there at the time, so she knew that there were demons in the world, and she also knew that it had a relationship with the Tian family, but she didn’t see the two children in its arms when the demon flew out of the Tian family.

Otherwise, the old lady will have killed the root.

A few days later, Huang Dan took Liu Chu back to the mountains.

No one cooks food and fetches water for him, and there is no servant to serve him. Huang Dan can only do it by himself. After scalding his hands and making a small cut, he squats on the ground crying in pain.

When the pain subsided, Huang Dan was still crying.

No one wiped his tears.

Living in the deep mountains and old forests, it is better during the day, but at night, even the rustling of the wind and the creaking of the door, he can make up more than a dozen horror scenes in his brain, and can scare himself to death by himself.

Huang Dan closed the doors and windows, took off his shoes and lay down under the quilt, with his arms around the man, “I don’t want to leave without knowing what happened? So, you wake up quickly.”

The man didn’t respond in the slightest.

Day by day, Huang Dan stayed with the man in the mountains, talking to him, talking about trivial things.

“I don’t know what’s wrong, the vegetables in the vegetable field are not growing well, and many of them are withered.”

“Cooking is so difficult, I can’t learn it.”

“Liu Chu, I’m so hungry, I want to eat your cooking.”

“I picked up a bamboo leaf in the bamboo forest. I wanted to imitate you and play a tune, but the bamboo leaf cut my hand, bleeding a lot, and it hurts.”

“The temperature dropped yesterday. I couldn’t find any thick clothes to wear. I caught a cold. Touch my forehead, do I have a fever?”

“It’s snowing, are there any hares in the mountains? I didn’t see any when I went to fetch water.”

“Ah choo! The water is frozen, the ice is very thick, I didn’t pay attention when I knocked it, and fell into the hole, the clothes were wet and there was nothing else to change, I didn’t wear anything, it was too cold, only It’s warm in your arms.”

“I made hot and sour cabbage and vinegar potato shreds. I put everything in according to what you put in, but it was still unpalatable. I didn’t throw it away. I ate it all, because you haven’t woken up yet, so you can’t make it delicious for me.”

“Mr. System told me that today is New Year’s Eve, Happy New Year.”

“Liu Chu, I’m sick and I feel very uncomfortable. I can’t exert myself, I can’t go down the mountain, and I can’t see the doctor.”

“Tell you, I miss you.”

“Liu Chu, why are you still not awake……”

“I’m going to die of illness…… Liu Chu……”

Liu Chu wakes up, twenty years have passed.

He lay on the bed for a few seconds, and suddenly he realized something, he looked down and saw a white skeleton in his arms.

The head of the white skeleton rested on Liu Chu’s shoulder socket, and the bones of his hand rested on his waist. Every joint was bent, grabbing his clothes.

The bones of the dead are showing a kind of trust, lying in his arms in a relying posture.

Liu Chu was stunned.

Snakes, insects, mice, ants, birds and beasts in the deep mountains and old forests are all looking for food, resting, sleeping and playing.

Suddenly there was a mournful cry from the direction of the hut, and they were frightened and fled in all directions.

The crying went on for a long time.

There was a dead silence in the old forest, and no living thing dared to move, but was frightened by a terrible sadness.

It wasn’t until late at night that the crying stopped.

Everything is back to normal.

In twenty years, a lot has happened.

The eldest daughter of the Ye family opened eight clothing stores in Fucheng. She and her younger brother depended on each other for life and have not married anyone so far.

All the policemen in the yamen have wives and children, and the youngest of Si Mao’s family is getting married soon.

Head Master Zhao lived a quiet life in his later years. He was buried in the countryside and the fallen leaves returned to their roots.

In these years, the biggest thing that happened was the earthquake in Yueshan Town, which buried the whole town and swallowed up the lives of most people.

Since then, the town has become a dead town.

The county town is more prosperous, and there are two men walking on the street, one is a demon and the other is a scholar.

The demon is no longer in the appearance of Boss Dai, but a handsome man, which is his own appearance, which he had when he rescued Ye Lan back then.

In that fight, it was seriously injured and has not recovered so far.

In the past twenty years, the scholar asked countless times about the whereabouts of that person, but the demon never mentioned it.

Even if Juan’er asked demon to tell her before she died of illness, she still passed away without getting an answer.

Both siblings are very concerned about that person.

Even if it was found out that it was the other party’s design, the scholar’s identity was exposed, and Juan’er was arrested and he almost died in the fire, but they still didn’t blame or complain.

This time the scholar mentioned again as he was just used to asking, and never thought about what he would hear from the people around him.

However, the man did.

After hearing this, the scholar couldn’t help feeling regretful, he might as well not know, then he would be the same as before, thinking, that person and Liu Chu were somewhere and living a good life.

Today, twenty years later, something seems to have happened. The man talked too much. He not only interrupted the scholar’s thoughts over the years, but also called Liu Chu a demon, “He has lived in this world for too long and wants to be a human. So he sealed himself, became a human, fought against me that day, and broke the seal.”

The scholar was puzzled, “Since Liu Chu is a demon, why can’t save him?”

The man said that the demon is not omnipotent, “You know this better than anyone else, don’t you?”

“Besides, when Liu Chu woke up, his beloved was already a pile of bones.”

The scholar’s body shook, and unspeakable sadness spread in his heart.

The man sighed softly, “A demon can’t be emotional, he does, so he has spent more than ten thousand years of cultivation for it.”

The scholar raised his head, “Liu Chu is a demon, so will he die?”

The man said he would die, “he was in tears.”

The scholar was stunned, “Can’t you cry?”

“No.” The man said, “every tear shed by the demon race will reduce one hundred years of cultivation base. Once the cultivation base is exhausted, it will change to the original form and cultivate again, or disappear in the world.”

He smiled, “Like me, with less than a thousand years of cultivation, I can’t shed a single tear.”

The scholar asked, “Then Liu Chu changed into his original form, or disappeared?”

The man didn’t answer.

He took the scholar to the deep mountains and old forests.

A row of huts fell in front of them, overgrown with weeds and full of traces of the past.

The scholar pushed the door open and saw a tombstone standing in the small courtyard. He walked over step by step, squatted down in front of the tombstone, and reached out to stroke the wood mark on it.

The weeds in the yard grew more densely, and the wind blew over, and the piece of green bent down.

The scholar saw a plant next to it, like grass and flowers, with slender stems and leaves wrapped around the tombstone, intimate and gentle.

For some reason, the scholar felt that this plant was Liu Chu.

That feeling was very strong, and he was so sure that he didn’t even have time to hesitate, “He has re-cultivated.”

The man didn’t speak, which means he acquiesced.

Two years later, the scholar came to the county town to handle some errands. For some reason, he rode up the mountain.

The hut is still there, and the tombstone in the yard is also there, but the plant is no longer tightly wrapped around the tombstone, withered leaves fall to the ground, and the roots are rotten.

The man said, “Maybe it’s boring?”

So he doesn’t want to cultivate anymore, and chooses to disappear between heaven and the earth.

******

Huang Dan appeared in the community. He stood where he was, holding a mobile phone in one hand. On the other end of the phone was the voice of a classmate, who was talking.

“At the class reunion tomorrow, Someone else will come too.”

Huang Dan’s mind was still stuck in the mission world, everything that happened there, it took only a few seconds to get here, and the time gap was too big to estimate.

“Who is that someone?”

The old classmate said, “That is the someone, you know.”

Huang Dan, “Oh.”

He moved forward, “I will be there tomorrow.”

The old classmate reminded him before hanging up, “Come here early, it’s been a long time since we played basketball together!”

After the call was over, Huang Dan put the phone back into his briefcase. He looked around and saw a familiar environment, which he would pass by every morning and evening.

Huang Dan raised his foot again, taking big strides, decided not to look or hear or talk or smell, and bowed his head all the way home.

An aunt with short curly hair came up ahead, holding a radio in her hand, playing “Good Day”.

She hummed as she walked, a walk that was called cheerful.

Huang Dan immediately turned into another road. Just as he was lucky to get rid of this aunt, he kicked a stone. He could feel the injury to his toe through the leather shoes. He immediately hugged that foot and squatted on the ground because of the pain.

There was a dog barking in his ears. Huang Dan remembered that the property management in the community strictly prohibited keeping dogs.

The community is still a community, but it is not the community he lives in, it is very strange, “……”

A little black dog jumped out of the grass, and Huang Dan was startled.

He watched the little black dog wagging its tail at him, looking like an old acquaintance.

The little black dog grabbed Huang Dan’s trouser leg.

Huang Dan took a look and found that he was wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, dirty sneakers, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.

He crossed again.

There was a voice next to his ear, he don’t know from where the accent was, it sounded a bit like tongue was not straightened, “Xiao Hei, how many times have I told you, don’t rub Mr. Lin’s trouser legs, you just don’t listen, hurry up come over!”

Huang Dan didn’t want to turn around.

But the footsteps had already stopped behind him, and a person walked around to the front. The person who came was a middle-aged woman with a relatively fat figure, and her belly was stretched out several layers in a slim long-sleeved dress.

“Mr. Lin, are your feet okay?”

Huang Dan wiped his eyes, lowered his eyelids and said, “…it’s all right.”

The middle-aged woman kicked the little black dog lightly, and said to Huang Dan, “Mr. Lin, you white-collar workers are working so hard. I think you are always working overtime. You should pay more attention to your body.”

Huang Dan hummed, his toes hurt so much, he tried not to cry, for fear of arousing the surprise of the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman saw that Huang Dan didn’t want to talk more, so she walked into the corridor.

Huang Dan saw that there was also a stone in front of him. It was placed in the same position as the one he kicked, and the shape of the stone was also similar. He twitched his mouth, sat down, and sniffed.

Suddenly there was a ding sound, and he asked in his heart, “Mr. System, is it you again?”

System said, “Yes, Mr. Huang, I am receiving you again.”

Huang Dan, “Ai.”

He didn’t ask any more questions, and it was useless to ask. All the interns could touch were trivial matters, and Mr. System was helpless.

A large pile of memory fragments appeared in Huang Dan’s mind, an uncontrollable combination.

The owner of this body is Lin Yi, a 24-year-old designer white-collar worker who just came back from working overtime in the company all night. He developed heart palpitations downstairs in the community and died here.

A task screen appeared in front of Huang Dan.

【A joint letter from the 602 rental house: We suspect that someone is peeping in the rental house. We don’t know who it is. We must find that person! 】

End of Arc 2.
