Ye Han said seriously: "Mr. Meng, what you said is wrong. This game seems to be my fault, but from the beginning to now, without your protection, without your leadership, without your unity, how could we have reached this point? The reward is yours. Don’t refuse. If something happens to you, our team will be disbanded."
Meng Huaichuan said: "This... there are so many of us, and you are the only one who gets the reward. If I take it away..."
"It's nothing. I've been used to playing outdoors in the Hou Mansion since I was a child. I've played all these games and I'm not afraid of them."
As the lucky man said, he handed Meng Huaichuan the horse-headed bamboo pole.
Meng Huaichuan took it, nodded vigorously and said: "Since you are so kind, I will not refuse. When you get out of the Vientiane Map, if you have anything to do, just come to me directly. If I frown, the Hualou girl in the whole city will not let me Come in."
Shen Xiaoyi on the side gave Meng Huaichuan a white look.
"When is Old Wolf, Old Wolf?" all the children shouted loudly.
Everyone hurriedly shut up and waited quietly.
"It's early afternoon." A rich voice sounded.
"We're home!" Fangfang took Li Qingxian's hand and walked towards the door of the house with a smile.
When he arrived at the door, Li Qingxian stopped and looked at the twenty-three people behind him.
"How about it, do you dare to come in?"
"There's nothing you dare not do. Let's do whatever we want together." Song Baige looked nonchalant, but he didn't dare to say the word "death".
"It's always safer at home than outside." Wang Buku said.
The others looked at the dead guards, at the silent courtyard, then at the foggy streets, and at the lifeless city.
"I'd better follow Ye Han." Guan Zhou said.
"go in."
Everyone shook their heads and followed Li Qingxian into the door.
Li Qingxian took Fangfang's hand, his whole body tensed, and moved forward slowly.
The entrance is a large and spacious yard, with nursery trees on both sides of the road and green grass and yellow leaves, which is completely different from the outside.
There is no white building directly in front, replaced by a main hall with a closed door.
There are two New Year paintings posted on the main door of the main hall. One New Year painting shows a strange red dragon with wings, and the other New Year painting shows four-faced children in red clothes playing in the water.
Suddenly, everyone went stiff.
I saw the New Year pictures squirming slightly, the eyes of the strange dragon and the children around them turning, all looking at everyone.
A cool breeze blew up, blowing through everyone's hair and clothes.
Everyone was sweating profusely and motionless.
Fangfang waved to the New Year pictures and said, "It's my brother who's back. They are all his friends."
The eyes in the New Year painting stopped moving and returned to their original appearance.
Fangfang took Li Qingxian's hand and walked towards the east room.
"Isn't mother living in the West Courtyard?" Li Qingxian asked.
"No, mother has been living in the east courtyard." Fangfang said.
Li Qingxian nodded and said nothing, but the layout of Wu Niangniang Temple in Gui Village came to his mind. There was no one in the east courtyard, and Gui's mother lived in the west courtyard.
The two of them crossed the east courtyard gate.
A familiar house came towards me. The walls, stairs, and pillars were all as black as ink, and the roof tiles were dark red. Just one look at it made my heart feel heavy.
Scenes of the strange village flashed through my mind, including watermelons, pig heads, paper cuttings, lucky warehouses, wedding eggs, messengers, and strange trees...
Li Qingxian took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
The midday sun was blocked by the fog, it was warm and light, and even the shadows of the houses were shallow.
Li Qingxian stepped onto the wooden ladder, took off his shoes, and walked to the threshold.
Fangfang let go of her hand and jumped in with her short legs.
Li Qingxian looked forward.
Candlesticks were floating all over the sky, and white candles were beeping and burning, illuminating the room.
Under the white candle and red fire, the red pomegranate carpet was spread out, all the way to the deep part under the black curtain with purple grape pattern.
Looking at the familiar place, Li Qingxian's heartbeat quickened, he gritted his teeth, crossed the threshold, and entered the house.
"Mom, brother is back!" Fangfang shouted.
"Ah? My Han'er is back?" A soft voice came from behind the black curtain. The voice was full of expectation and surprise, and even a little nervous.
The black curtain was like water, rippling, and in the center of the ripples, two fat, white, soft arms stretched out and continued to lengthen.
"My son, let me give you a hug."
Li Qingxian stood there helplessly. Everyone outside the door felt numb when they saw this scene.
Several people were so frightened that their faces turned pale. This was truly strange!
"My child meets his mother!" Li Qingxian bent down and bowed.
"My great son..."
Two big hands stretched out and picked up Li Qingxian without any explanation.
Li Qingxian looked like he would rather die than live.
Everyone was originally frightened, but when they saw someone as big as Li Qingxian being picked up by big hands, they felt an indescribable strange feeling in their hearts.
If you don't laugh, you will die if you do.
"Mom, the child has grown up." Li Qingxian kept winking at Fangfang.
Fangfang said with a smile: "I also want Mom to hug me more. Mom misses you so much. She keeps talking about you in my ears. If I wasn't worried about you, I would have gone to find you a long time ago."
Li Qingxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that this strange mother was thinking about herself.
"What have you done these days? Tell your mother." A gentle and slightly sweet voice came from behind the black curtain.
Everyone thought that if they just listened to the voice, they would definitely think that she was a gentle and dignified middle-aged woman, and people couldn't help but want to fall into it.
Li Qingxian coughed lightly and said, "My friends are all outside, let's talk while eating."
"Let them wait, mother wants to chat with you." Mother Wei's voice was still gentle.
Li Qingxian knew that he could not escape, so he could only say: "After good luck happened to our mother and son that day, we returned to the capital of God under the leadership of the Black Lantern Division. After that..."
Li Qingxian truthfully told some of his experiences, including being framed by Tang Enxuan, the crown prince of Yuan Dynasty, and Good Luck Sheng, including running to the aid of Beichen City, then fighting back against Tang Enxuan at his birthday party, and then talking about participating in a fateful drama and going to Beichang County to capture Ming Shan.
He rebelled against the party, attacked the Ministry of Justice, and finally came out on top in the eighth-grade Qingyun Examination High School.
"As expected of my great eldest son, he can actually be ranked first in the eighth grade of high school. Good! Good! Good!"
The mother's big hand shook gently, and Li Qingxian's face was expressionless.
"Wow, brother, you are so awesome!" Fangfang's eyes were filled with little stars.
The mother-in-law sighed: "Look at my memory, I have forgotten your birth date. If you win the first prize, I won't give you anything."
Li Qingxian said hurriedly: "Don't worry about me, mother. I will be satisfied if I can see you and Fangfang. Your safety is my greatest gift."
"Who did this child learn to have such a sweet mouth?" Mother Wei's voice passed through the black curtain, and everyone could feel her smile.
"It's all the truth." Li Qingxian said.
After a while, the mother-in-law sighed and said: "You have another birthday and you win the first prize, and mother can't see you empty-handed. How about this, take the rattle you played when you were a child, and mother will help you repair it. When we meet in the future
If something bad happens, just shake the rattle and mother will know about it."
Li Qingxian had no choice but to take out the rattle he picked up in Gui Village that day from the Qiankun Bracelet.
The rattle flew into the black curtain and flew back after a while.
When everyone looked at it, they saw that the rattle was different from ordinary ones. It looked like a round white belly of a person. The two drooping drums connected by a red leather rope were two small white skulls.
The handle of the drum hammer is actually two human leg bones joined together.
