"Third brother, what are you doing? You don't have a younger brother, so the eldest brother should be the one."
"Where's eldest brother?"
"The eldest brother went to see the fourth brother. He really likes the fourth brother."
"Hmph! Then I want to see it too..."
"..."
This is the first time the first month sees April.
In the first month of his teenage years, he was still a thin boy, holding his newborn brother in his arms and smiling like a little fool.
Small, soft, fragile, pure.
Need to protect yourself.
younger brother.
Later, my father left.
My mother was also seriously ill.
I wanted to cry in the first month, but looking at February, March, and April, I held back my tears.
do not Cry.
My poor brother.
"April, just study hard and don't worry about home."
"Brother, it's my mother's illness..."
"I have my eldest brother to take care of my mother, and my second and third brothers, so you don't have to worry about me."
"If something happens to my mother..."
"Nothing will happen to my mother. Don't you even believe what my elder brother says?"
"I believe, believe in brother, my mother will definitely get better."
"That's right, study hard..."
Zhengyue's eyes were blurred.
I'm sorry for you, brother.
Brother lied to you.
"How could my mother die? In your letter... didn't you say in your letter that your mother will be well soon... How... why..."
"My mother's body and bones are no longer good. Death is a relief for me."
"You lie! Liar! You liar!..."
"Where are you going April? What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to save my mother!"
"Fourth brother, a dead person cannot be resurrected, so just listen to my elder brother..."
"Just because you can't do anything, doesn't mean everyone can't do anything!"
"Fourth, stop!"
"Fourth!"
"Fourth!..."
The last memory of the first month is of April carrying her backpack and rushing out of the house.
I’ve never seen you again, fourth child.
From that day on, I asked and searched day after day.
Have you seen this boy?
This boy is seventeen years old, about this tall.
Yes, a fair, thin boy.
Haven't you seen it before? It's okay. I'm sorry...
…
day to day.
day to day.
Is there any way to come back from the dead...
Royal City? Where is that...
A remote foreign city? Excuse me...how do I get there?
…
Really, have you seen our brother?
Entering the royal city...
No, no special powers... no.
Neither can we, it doesn't matter, we will save my brother.
Brother is talking nonsense again.
Zhengyue hugged April tightly, trembling, and touched his head.
April is crying, but the knife in her hand cannot stop her.
Zhengyue looked at his younger brother and wiped the tears from his eyes.
My poor brother.
do not be afraid.
Brother is here to pick you up.
Let's go home.

"What Xiaolan means is that Meng Zecheng is Meng Fuling's true form. When the bell rings, Meng Fuling will appear, and once Meng Fuling appears, Meng Zecheng will turn into a corpse." Luo
Jiutian summarized Xiaolan's messy narrative.
Xiaolan thought for a moment and nodded.
"How could such an existence exist?" Xiaoyin couldn't figure it out.
"These are the rules of the royal city. It's normal for us not to understand," the Taoist priest turned to ask Xiaolan, "What is the rustling sound you mentioned? Do you remember anything more specific?"
"It's like...like some kind of reptile, approaching me from all directions and calling my name..."
When Xiaoyin heard this description, she couldn't help but shudder.
"Fortunately, our cub ran away," Xiaoyin touched the rabbit. "This rabbit is finally of some use, which is gratifying."
Rabbit proudly shook off Xiaoyin's hand and jumped to Heipi to play.
"Where did the pineapple and maple syrup go?" Xiao Lan looked around but couldn't see the two of them, so he asked.
"We have never met them," the Taoist priest squatted down next to Xiaolan, "Don't you have any clues about them?"
Xiaolan shook her head, "I was arrested as soon as I landed. I finally escaped from prison and almost got arrested again."
"I guess they didn't come in at all," the fool gestured. "Do you still remember where we stood when Xiaolan opened the envelope? At that time, Xiaolan was standing at the front and the Taoist priest was standing on the other side.
When the three of them are together, pineapple and maple syrup stand farthest..."
Xiaolan was focused on fighting Heipi and didn't pay attention at all, but the Taoist priest nodded in agreement.
"There's no problem with the position. This is indeed a way to explain it."
"Have you tried calling them...?"
"There's no signal, how can I make a call..."
"Oh, sorry, my phone was confiscated without my knowledge."
"Then our mission now is to find Meng Fuling and kill him completely." After the fool said this, he looked at the Taoist Priest.
Taoist priest and Xiaolan both nodded thoughtfully.
Several people were worried that Xiaolan was scared and did not tell Xiaolan that Wang Shen's final target was her.
Xiaolan was afraid that her friends would be worried, so she didn't tell them that Wang Shen wanted to kill her.
So the two groups kept the same secret.
Jasmine still felt a little awkward, and she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she saw the two people, including Luo Shi and his son, standing next to Liao Yilan with concerned faces.
But this discomfort is not due to jealousy or other negative emotions.
Jasmine was squatting next to a rock, watching Xiaolan and the others having a heated discussion.
I also want to hear it.
But……
Happiness is theirs, and there is only confusion on Jasmine's side.
Xiaolan saw the lonely Jasmine from a distance, jumped out of the cocoon and trotted to Jasmine's side.
"Jasmine, do you have a new spirit-locking whip?"
Mentioning the Spirit Locking Whip Jasmine was like a nameless fire, so he turned his head and ignored her.
"Why don't you want the one I gave you? It's exactly the same as your own."
Jasmine suppressed her anger and stood up, ready to throw Xiao Lan away.
"Without the original spirit-locking whip, it would be very hard here. I only want to return the whip to you because I know I was wrong. It's not to show off or anything..."
Jasmine had never thought of showing off this layer, but now she was suddenly reminded of it, which made her even more angry.
Luo Jiutian saw that Jasmine's face was not good, so he hurriedly grabbed Xiaolan who was sticking behind Jasmine and threw it to Xiaoyin.
"I still don't understand why she didn't want it," Xiaolan sat on the stone in confusion, "Does everyone in the Jiu Tan Sect have a lot of soul-locking whips in stock, and the one I broke was Jasmine Soul-locking Whip No. 1?"
Xiaoyin patted her thigh and said, "Try to understand Jasmine. Put aside the straight male opinions in your mind and analyze it from a girl's perspective..."
"Girls will be happy when they receive gifts. It's not my problem, it must be Jasmine's problem," Xiaolan said firmly, "And how can I say anything about being straight?"
A few people just scattered around, chatting in twos and threes.
The Taoist priest was having a lively chat with Lao Luo.
