BONUS (1/1)

Xie Fei, who thought he was quite articulate, ran out of words for a while as he listened to Yan Lai ramble on about his recent encounters and the various inconveniences that came with the awakening of his bloodline, and found that the other party didn’t need to be comforted, but only to vent.

So, he only quietly acted as a listener and seldom made comments..

Until Xiang Fei came over: “Boss, Mr. Yan, breakfast is ready.”

Perhaps the initial psychological shadow left was too deep, Yan Lai is a little afraid of Xiang Fei, at this moment also dare not fuss, obediently followed the other to the restaurant.

After seating, Yan Lai found that only he was a guest, and across from him sat three …… monster? In short, the air was very tense.

In fact, he still has a lot of questions to ask, but in such a situation, he I did not have the heart to speak up.

But Xie Fei does not have such scruples, he finished a glass of milk to moisten his throat: “The person on that picture yesterday, is it your former master, the boss?”

Xiang Fei: “Puff–“

Ah Fu: “Pfft–“

Seeing the employees spurting in unison, Xie Fei was sure of his suspicions.

He always felt that from reading the book to inheriting an inn, he seemed to be driven by fate. Now he suddenly dreamed of the former owner of the inn, which made him wonder what the relationship between him and him was?

Reincarnation?

A descendant?

Or the inheritor?

Xie Fei’s eyes swept over Xiang Fei and Ah Fu, who were still in a daze. From the way they treated him, they did not see him as the same person as the previous owner, yet they always tried to verify something from him.

This also meant that Xiang Fei and Ah Fu were equally clueless and were also searching for answers.

“How do you know?” Xiang Fei gradually returned to her senses, holding down the vibration in her chest, asking carefully, “Did the boss tell you?”

Xie Fei was a little distracted, thinking about how the painting came to be. It was definitely not painted by Yu Li, Xiang Fei or Ah Fu, but besides them, who else would know about the previous owner?

His gaze suddenly shifted to Yan Lai, and he had an epiphany – this inn would indeed have a remnant of that person, and Yan Lai was fully capable of turning what he saw into a painting.

But Yu Li said that Yanlai can only see the remnants of scenes from a hundred years of age, but the former owner has fallen for at least a few thousand years…

Xie Fei’s heart gave birth to many speculations, and finally, answered Xiang Fei’s previous question: “I dreamed of it.”

“Dreamed ……” Xiang Fei’s expression changed a little, frivolous, sneering, loose, ingratiating …… the appearance Xie Fei was familiar with disappeared instantly without a trace, eyebrows surging with extremely complex emotions, like nostalgia, awe, but also some other ……

Xie Fei was touched. He glanced at Yan Lai, who was completely out of the situation, and vaguely talked about the dreaming process.

When he mentioned Xiang Fei’s transformation into her original form, he suddenly heard a “clang” sound and saw the spoon in Xiang Fei’s hand fall into the bowl, spilling a few drops of porridge. Her face was like a changing traffic light, sometimes red, Xiang Fei suddenly jumped up, covered her face and staggered and ran away.

The distant sound of howling made Xie Fei bewildered, “What’s wrong with Sister Xiang?”

Ah Fu froze, “She has been rather inferior about her original form.”

Xie Fei: “…”

“So …… what is her original form?” Yan Lai, who had been forgotten, finally mustered up the courage to interject.

Ah Fu didn’t mean to help Concubine Xiang to hide. He didn’t say it before, because Xie Fei didn’t ask, “Naked Zokor, she is the Queen of Naked Zokor.”

[*]Zokor ; warning- phobia with rodents please, refrain from clicking]

The Naked Zokor Queen fell into a deep self-imposed isolation, she had always presented herself as a great beauty, now it was pierced by Xie Fei, she only felt ashamed.

The good thing was that she had lived for thousands of years and was still very resistant to blows, and recovered in less than half a day

When she came out of the room, she saw that Yan Lai was busy in the courtyard, the ground was covered with roots and vines, the branches sticking out across the road, there was almost no place to step.

Xiang Fei smiled and went forward, “Alas, how can we let guests do this kind of rough work, Mr. Yan let me do it.”

Yan Lai quickly squinted at Xiang Fei, since he googled the naked zokor, he felt Xiang Fei was forcing a smile on his face. After all, such an animal with no fashionable value, even his chicken can’t match it. The chicken at least has beautiful feathers.

He could not help but have a few more sympathy for Xiang Fei, but it washed away a little fear, so he couldn’t help but blurt out.

“About that female student …… can you talk to me?”

He asked!

He actually asked out!

Yan Lai heart a burst of excitement, as he stared at Xiang Fei nervously.

“What female student?” Xiang Fei was puzzled.

“It’s that …… Republican female student.” Yan Lai still wanted to describe her, when he heard Xiang Fei say, “Ohh, her, you saw that?”

“Well…”

Xiang Fei smiled meaningfully, casually twirled a branch with her fingers , “What does Mr. Yan want to know?”

In fact, Yan Lai can not answer, since he saw the floating corpse on the river, he guessed the end of the female student, but it still gnawed on him.

Perhaps it was because he had seen the remnants of the other side when they were alive, and felt that such a vivid, young, courageous life should not be silently annihilated in history, she should be remembered.

Seeing him speechless, Xiang Fei also did not inquire more, she half squinted, seemingly reminiscing: “It’s almost a hundred years ago …… I remember when Nanshan City was just occupied by the Japanese invaders, the devils engaged in a what was a three all’s policy, that is, burn, kill, rob… …”

[E/n– The Three Alls Policy was a Japanese scorched earth policy adopted in China during World War II, the three “alls” being “kill all, burn all, loot all“]

During the Japanese sweep, all people in the enemy area were killed, regardless of gender or age; all houses and food and feed that could not be easily carried were burned; all pots and bowls were broken; and all wells were buried or poisoned.

They wanted to make all those who dared to resist become rootless and without support.

But the fire of resistance will never be extinguished. In Shaoyang town, which is not yet affected by the war, there are many knowledgeable people who are secretly collecting food and transferring it to several villages under their jurisdiction through underground channels, and the lady student’s husband is one of the leaders of the plan.

“Unfortunately, that gentleman was unfortunately arrested, and his students helped deliver the news of the grain cache.” Xiang Fei said in a slow voice, “The student was on her way to Yining Village to find a contact when she met some Japanese invaders, she panicked and revealed her tracks, and was chased by the Japanese all the way to the inn, where she inadvertently broke into.”

Yan Lai was silent for a moment, “Then what happened?”

“Later ……” Xiang Fei fished out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and lit one, “Then the war hit Shaoyang town, the town’s military and met with people’s fierce resistance, she naturally also went.”

Xiang Fei inhaled a mouthful of smoke, exhaling gray-white smoke, “They held on for ten days and ten nights, and eventually ran out of ammunition. A town of ten thousand families were slaughtered to only ten or so families left, all the bodies were thrown into the inner city river, not even one person could be rescued .”

Yan Lai’s whole body shuddered, his brain buzzing, fierce hatred grew in his chest, so much so that he asked, “You, why didn’t you save them? You are not demons, you should have magic power, why -”

He suddenly realized that he said something stupid, demons are not omnipotent, how much can be done in the face of guns and artillery? Moreover, the demon do not have the obligation to save people.

“I’m sorry.” Yan Lai apologized in a low voice.

Xiang Fei didn’t mind, she flicked the soot, “I’m just the last little demon, I don’t have that great ability. Besides, with so many people, who many can we save? Besides, wouldn’t they win without us? “

All resistance and sacrifice were not meaningless. The soldiers and civilians of Shaoyang Town held the Japanese invaders for ten days, bought time for the surrounding resistance forces, and successfully prevented the Japanese invaders from going south.

Half a year later, the rebels took back Shaoyang Town.

Seeing Yan Lai’s face still irksome, Xiang Fei couldn’t help being a little bit amused: “For decades, hundreds of years, and thousands of years back, people in this land know how to resist. The mountains block the mountains and the sea fills the sea. Even if the blood drifts and the corpses are everywhere, they can make a way out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They will stand and walk to the end as they did thousands of times before.”

“Mr. Yan, they don’t need to be sympathized, you should be proud of them.”

Yan Lai hung his head in silence, and after a long time, he asked in a dumb voice, “What’s her name?”

“Mei Xiangzhi.”

While Yan Lai was undergoing soul lashings, Yu Li, who was far away from the film base, received a weibo from Yinsu and got from it the chain of evidence that he had been trying to find, a logical and clear chain of evidence that rounded off the answer in his heart.

“Teacher Yu, the time for the endorsement signing ceremony has been determined,” Xiao Chen Xiao, the assistant, ran over: “I have asked the crew for leave-“

“How much is your salary?”

“Huh?”

” your salary.”

” Fifteen thousand, pre-tax.”

“I will give you a salary increase, doubled.”

Xiao Chen: “…”

Seeing Xiao Chen stunned, Yu Li chuckled: “Don’t want it?”

“no, I want, Mr. Yu you’re not lying to me, right? I will take it seriously ah.” Xiao Chen couldn’t find a reason for the sudden pay raise even after thinking about it left and right, so he could only attribute it to one thing: “Teacher Yu, do you have some kind of happy event?”

“Mn.”

Xiao Chen rubbed his face and asked, “so, what is the good news?”

“Is it not a happy event that I’m not scheduled for a play tomorrow?”

Yu Li looked out the window at the brilliant golden sun and waved his hand as a goodbye. He walked quickly to the parking lot with the excitement of a mahjong game about to start, and it only took him ten minutes to arrive at Xining Village.

On the way to the inn, he also heard various legends about the appearance of mountain gods in the village.

What caused the dead trees to sprout overnight, the dry wells gave birth to water, and the patients who were about to turn their pigtails and recover in a blink of an eye… Many villagers even organized to worship the mountain gods, and there were tourists using mobile phones to broadcast live along the way.

Yu Li lowered the brim of his hat, and walked back to the inn without any wind or danger.

When he went upstairs, he saw Xie Fei’s room door open, and the other party was sitting at the desk in front of the window with his back facing him.

Yu Li coughed slightly to remind him of his existence, and the person in front of the window immediately turned his head.

The sunlight slanting in from the window traced a golden edge on the side profile of the young man’s face, and a halo fell on the tip of his upturned nose.

Xie Fei’s eyes were brightly written with surprise: “Why are you back again.”

The word “again” made Yu Li frown, but he was in a good mood today and he graciously let Xie Fei go, pretending to walk over calmly. “What are you doing?”

“AC station sent me a contract for the anchor today. I am studying and I always feel that the live broadcast time is too long…”

Yu Li cast his eyes on the desktop, picked up the contract and quickly rummaged: “unreasonable, do not sign.” He pointed out several particularly overbearing clauses one by one, so strict that Xie Fei was shocked: “You also studied law?”

“I’ve been in the world for over a hundred years.” Yu Li’s chin lifted slightly: “Being bound by a contract will only waste your time and energy, if you want to expand your channels, I have a private dinner trip next week, many top executives in the travel industry will be there, you can come with me.”

“Really? “Xie Fei was skeptical.

Yu Li was extraordinarily nice today, “This time I will let you feel hot[1].”

[1]This time I will let you feel hot — He is talking about becoming hot in internet.]

“Then I’ll do whatever you say.” Xie Fei was so happy that he was about to levitate, not expecting the golden master to suddenly show favour, “Thank you, Mr. Yu.”

Yu Li nodded haughtily and said as if he was giving grace, “From now on, I allow you to call me by my name.”

Xie Fei was taken aback, and smiled softly.

The sunlight spilled on his eyelashes, at this moment his eyes were smiling, his lips curving, his dimples creasing, “Brother Yu Li, you can also call me Ah Fei, that’s what my milk …… I mean the director of the orphanage used to call me.”

Yu Li gaze unnaturally moved elsewhere, as if inadvertently asked, “What happened to your voice, it sounds dumb.”

“It’s a bit inflamed, but it’s gotten better after drinking the medicine boiled by Brother Ah Fu.”

“Let me take a look.”

Xie Fei only thought that Yu Li wanted to check his throat, and although he felt puzzled, he still obediently tilted his head.

As he moved, the shadow under his jaw completely faded away, exposing his slim and slender neck to the sunlight and Xie Fei’s most vulnerable parts.

Yu Li’s dark eyes grew deeper and deeper, and was about to touch that piece of skin so white that it was transparent, when he saw Xie Fei’s mouth open wide: “Ah–”

“…”

Yu Li pinched Xie Fei’s chin and lifted it up. He closed his mouth directly.

Under Xie Fei’s confused gaze, he moved his finger between the opponent’s apple and collarbone.

In an instant, Xie Fei’s hair exploded. Although it was uncomfortable to be touched before, it was not like today. To describe it, it is probably similar to overdose of caffeine—palpitations, chest tightness, and abnormal irritability.

He instinctively slapped Yu Li’s hand away, and when he looked at the other side, he inevitably felt a little guilty, but the expected anger didn’t come.

Yu Li just lowered his eyes and restrained all his emotions.

“I’m sorry…but why are you always touching my neck?” In fact, Xie Fei wanted to ask yesterday morning, but Ah Fu and the others suddenly appeared, which caused the scene to become chaotic…

However, Yu Li didn’t answer the question: “You throat after the next two days, a crescent-shaped birthmark will grow, don’t worry, it’s normal.”

“What do you mean?” Xie Fei was confused and a guess flashed through his mind, “Could it be that my sore throat is not due to illness?”

“No”

” Then what is it?”

Yu Li’s expression obscure and unknown, a long time, he read a half-blank sentence: “There is an rebellious scale under the dragon’s throat, if a person have infants, then will kill ……”

“I don’t quite understand.” Xie Fei understood those words, but did not dare to believe.

Yu Li frowned slightly, simply said straight: ” You have a piece of rebellious scales born under the throat.”

Xie Fei: “…”

Excuse me? !
