When the magic stick summons cute pets

But this time it was obviously not as smooth as before.

No matter how Xu Cheng tried to shout from the bottom of his heart, Xu Chi didn't give any response.The three searched around the lake aimlessly, but they still found nothing.

It took a lot of time to walk, but the sun was still hanging directly above the head, as if it hadn't moved a single step from the beginning to the end.

Except for He Jiuzhong, the remaining two people were obviously a little tired after such a long search, especially Ye Changsheng, whose pace was not too far behind that of Nuo at the end.Reluctantly dragging his steps, he found a thick peach tree to lean on and took a breath, bent slightly, supported his thigh with one hand, and gently shook it with the other hand, panting intermittently: "It can't be done... It's kind of scary, if we don't have the exact direction, we three will find it so hard, and we don't know how to find it."

Although Xu Cheng was not as exaggerated as Ye Changsheng, his breath was obviously much more disordered than it was at the beginning.He reached out his hand to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead, and then looked around. It was quiet everywhere, only the wind blowing through the peach trees made a little "rustling" sound: "Then what should we do now? We Do you want to spread out and look for it again?"

Ye Changsheng thought for a while, and didn't say whether this is feasible, but just raised his eyelids and glanced at him again: "After all, this is not our territory. After you spread out and act, the danger you encounter will be greater than it is now. some."

As he said that, as if he had thought of something, he walked to the nearby peach tree and reached out to break a peach branch from the tree.

I don't know if the ground under my feet has been nourished by the blooming peach blossoms. The soil looks soft and fertile.Ye Changsheng bent down, held the peach branch and drew a huge circle on the ground, then stood in that circle and quickly drew a simple but unclear pattern on the ground.

After finishing the drawing carefully, he threw away the peach branch, muttered something, then took out a human-shaped white talisman from his pocket and pasted it on the entrance directly in front of the talisman paper.

Xu Cheng watched Ye Changsheng finish the whole set of movements smoothly, and asked with some doubts: "What is Ye Tianshi doing?"

Ye Changsheng patted the dust off his hands, and asked casually without raising his eyes, "Have you read Journey to the West?"

Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the circle on the ground and thought about what was said on the other side, pondered for a while, as if he understood something: "This is... drawn for me?"

Ye Changsheng listened to Xu Cheng's guess, nodded his head, and gave the other side a look of approval: "It seems that Officer Xu's understanding ability is really good."

Xu Cheng had a look of eagerness on his face: "But——"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a wave of his hand from the other end. He smiled and said, "Officer Xu, you haven't forgotten what you promised me when you were outside, right?" He reminded lightly, "Enter 'Taoyuan' ' After that, all actions obey orders?"

What Xu Cheng hadn't said yet was completely blocked by Ye Changsheng's sentence. He frowned deeply, but he also knew in his heart that in this field he didn't understand at all, he was undoubtedly the three of them. The most dragging one among people.Now Ye Changsheng chose to let him stand by, although it was to protect him, but it was probably because the two of them could fight better without him being in the way.

Knowing his own incompetence again, Xu Cheng gritted his teeth unwillingly, but finally nodded in compromise and said, "Okay, then I'll wait here for Tianshi Ye and Mr. He to come back."

Seeing Xu Cheng honestly walked into the circle he had drawn for him, Ye Changsheng showed a little satisfaction on his face, glanced at the other end and said: "If we find your brother, we will come back as soon as possible Let me inform you, Officer Xu, you will stay here during this period, and you must not come out." Wei Wei paused, and reminded him again very seriously, "Tang Seng appeared in Journey to the West every time he left the circle. In the end, Officer Xu shouldn’t need me to elaborate, right?”

Xu Cheng licked his dry lips and nodded, "I know what Tianshi means, don't worry, Tianshi, I won't go out."

Ye Changsheng saw that the other side answered straightforwardly, and took another deep look at him, then left again with He Jiuzhong.

Xu Cheng looked at the back of the two people walking away hand in hand, and felt that his heart was very confused. He paced back and forth in the circle Ye Changsheng had drawn for him for a while, finally shook his head with a sigh, and bent slowly. He lowered his waist and supported the ground with one hand and sat down with his legs bent.

The breeze was warm, and the sun was shining brightly overhead, but the temperature of the sun shining on the person's body was just right, so warm that it made people feel a little sleepy.

Behind him was a peach tree, and he stretched out his hand sideways to touch the slightly prickly bark on the outside.The aroma of peach blossoms was brought over layer by layer by the wind. The elegant sweet fragrance mixed with the moist breath of the lake was inhaled into the nostrils, and then slowly rolled through the lungs, inexplicably producing a feeling similar to every time The addictive rush that comes from inhaling nicotine.

Xu Cheng took a few more deep breaths. Following the inhalation of the fragrance of peach blossoms, the irritating thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down, and his whole spirit seemed to relax slowly.

Return your gaze to the pale pink lake opposite.

From the previous photo, it seems that the total area of ​​this teardrop-shaped lake is not very large, but even so, he still can't see its whole picture while sitting on this side and watching from a distance.

Xu Cheng has never seen a body of water that can be as clear and clear as a real crystal. The surface of the lake is as clean as a mirror, with the clouds in the sky printed on it, and you can see the bottom at a glance.

Such a clean lake, I don't know what the water inside tastes like?

Xu Cheng looked at the pale pink, and couldn't help being curious: Could it also have the sweetness of peach blossoms?

He thought about this for a while, and suddenly he woke up with a shiver all over his body, and grabbed the hand hanging by his side.Because the jaw was too tight, the lines of his entire face suddenly became stiffer, and his eyes flickered, as if he was surprised by the thought that suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Stretching out his hands and rubbing his temples that were swelling and hurting, Xu Cheng had to admit that this place did have a magical power to confuse people's hearts.Even though he obviously doesn't have any yearning for it, but now it's just because his body is tired and his spirit is a little relaxed, people are unconsciously seduced by this illusion.

Thinking about the types of people that Ye Changsheng said before being attracted by "Taoyuan", he repeated in a murmur: "Do you want to escape from reality...?"

But why?

Although their family lived in poverty in the early years, he did suffer some hardships with Xu Fu and Wang Cuihe when he was a child, but Xu Chi was born late, just in time for a good time.By the time he was babbling, life in their family was already flourishing. Although they were not comparable to those rich young masters with tens of millions of dollars, Xu Chi had never been short of him in terms of basic necessities of life since he was born.

It is one thing that the old man is favored, and the other is that he may want to compensate Xu Cheng for what he did not enjoy when he was a child. Since kindergarten, the schools they have chosen for Xu Chi have always been within the range of financial ability. most upscale.

No matter what he wants, as long as he can give it, Xu's father and Xu's mother will pay for it unambiguously.When they got a little older, all kinds of interest classes that made people's scalp tingle with fees, they were simply outrageous when they paid for it.

Xu Fu, Wang Cuihe, and even Xu Cheng have always tried to save themselves as much as possible, wishing to split a dollar into two halves, in order to make their younger brother's life better.

The whole family has been accustomed to eating and suffering since childhood, and only Xu Chi has really grown up from the honey pot. He can get whatever he wants, and the family can't wait to pick all the stars and moons in the sky into his hands.

——But he has already sat like this, what else is he dissatisfied with?

Xu Cheng felt that he couldn't figure it out, what exactly was Xu Chi trying to avoid?

Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly, there was another burst of light footsteps on the ground.His body tensed quickly and subconsciously raised his head, facing the sun, he saw Xu Chi slowly walking towards him from the other end, and then stopped at a distance from him... or under him Three meters away from that strange circle, slightly lowered his head and looked in his direction.

There was no expression on his face, and even the eyes in his dark brown eyes were cold and calm, but the midday sun was shining on him, warmly wrapping all his indifference with pale golden soft light , making his aura seem to soften a little at first glance.

Xu Cheng hurriedly got up from the ground, and quickly walked a little closer to the edge of the circle: "Xiaochi!"

Xu Chi looked at him quietly, for a while, and said lightly: "Brother, if you really want to take me away this time, then you can give up. I am really living here, and I feel very happy. This is the life I've always wanted."

Hearing Xu Chi's words, Xu Cheng only felt a dull pain in his temple. He growled and said, "What do you want? What do you want? What did you want? Parents and me, our family? Aren't they keeping you tight? Xiaochi, don't you even touch your conscience when you speak?"

Xu Chi's face became a little colder. He looked at Xu Cheng, and suddenly smiled again: "Brother, ask yourself, is the thing that you all gave me, really what I want?" He smiled brightly, "Through me, what you see is me, or is it just a tool to make up for your shortcomings in life?"

Xu Cheng was stunned for a while by Xu Chi's sharp and almost harsh words, and then looked at the eyes that were smiling but couldn't feel any pleasure, and then he realized that Xu Chi was really in the heart. Blame him.

"Xiaochi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xu Cheng felt that his throat was a little dry, obviously it should be a reproach full of anger, but when he said it, he didn't know why, but there was a trace of helplessness and embarrassment.

Xu Chi still looked at him with a smile, and after a while, he said softly, "Brother, do you want to see what kind of life I am living now?"

Xu Cheng wanted to nod subconsciously, but his eyes caught the circle drawn by Ye Changsheng under his feet, and the expression on his face couldn't help but hesitate again.

Xu Chi naturally saw his hesitation, and the smile on his brows was mixed with some sarcasm, his voice was faint, as if he had seen through something a little earlier: "Look, brother, you really You care about yourself the most, don’t you?”

Xu Cheng gritted his teeth: "Xiaochi, I didn't mean that, but I can't leave here, I—"

"That's how it is, I understand what you mean." Xu Chi nodded and turned around, "After the two outsiders come back to find you, you should leave quickly. Brother, this is what I gave you." If you refuse, even if you stay in this place for another ten years, I guarantee that there will be no next meeting between us."

With that said, he walked towards the direction he came without hesitation.

Probably because the meaning in that sentence was too decisive, Xu Cheng looked at the leaving figure, and his whole body tensed up: "Wait! Wait, Xiaochi!"

There was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms blowing past, making my head dizzy and unable to think any more.Seeing that the other end was getting farther and farther away, Xu Cheng looked down at the circle under his feet that Ye Changsheng told him not to cross, gritted his teeth tightly, and turned his heart towards the somewhat blurred back in front of him. chased after.
