Inner Demons

Li Yunxin turned his face away and was silent for a while while leaning on the railing. His eyes swept across the pedestrians on the street and saw all kinds of mortals.

There are masters and servants, friends, husband and wife, mother and daughter, father and son-maybe every family has a different state when getting along. Some are sweet, some are long tortures. But the secular ethics and even the various conditions required for survival still tie them together, making them only able to seek compromise and balance in all kinds of relationships.

Li Yunxin watched them come and go, but remembered another word: Siege.

People outside the siege want to walk in, and people inside the siege want to come out. This word should be rarely used to describe blood kinship. Because for mortals, they have been in the city since the day they were born in this world, and there is no saying that they can’t walk in.

Only when he has a peculiar life background can he be in the same peculiar situation of “outside the city”.

In fact, he really wanted to walk in—at least he tried to walk in very hard before.

He lightly patted the railing, turned his face and said: “It’s not because of resentment. It’s not any willful behavior. It’s just that our two values ​​are different that’s all.”

“To kill Golden Peng I have no objection, but it’s not good to use marriage as a guise. This is my bottom line. Others, for example, if you ask me to talk with Chen Peng, I agree with this, and I want to do it now. Your apologies are right. It doesn’t make much sense to me.”

He paused: “I saw it.”

Li Chunfeng finally let out a sigh of relief: “Okay. You don’t like that method, we can Change the way. I just don’t want to ask you to commit danger with your own body.”

“You and Golden Peng are in a head-on conflict, and the rest is a trivial matter. Your safety is the major event. Your demon power comes from the ghostly energy. On the contrary, you are not taking advantage. Let’s think about a way…so that you are safe. What happened in the past…You don’t want to see it. I just don’t want to make mistakes in the future. No matter it is to you or to others.”

Li Yunxin smiled: “I hope it.”

“Then, let’s talk about Chen Yu.” Li Chunfeng lifted his magical powers, and the alcohol on his face instantly faded clean. “Before you see her, I have something to say to you.”

“I have had contact with her, so I have a little understanding of her temperament. This person… is not so deep in his mind. What terrifying is her temperament.” Li Chunfeng said slowly and lowly, “When you first see her, you will think that you are a woman with no scheming. She is lively and cheerful, like a mortal woman who doesn’t know the evil of the world. But in fact, This person is decisive and has an extremely cold temperament.”

“No matter the original True Dragon, Golden Peng, or Qingshui Dao people, she used them. Maybe at first she did have some emotions for them. ——For example, love and friendship. But once you have to abandon these feelings because of something, you will never have the slightest nostalgia. In the world, some people associate with others, and the previous day was still enthusiastic, but after a while Falling out to become hostile in one day-she is similar.”

Li Yunxin was taken aback. He didn’t expect the Chen Yu in Li Chunfeng’s mouth.

He used to see the traces of her staying here in the world, such as those clumsy paintings, and he would think that the painting saint is an unearthly female child.

After reading her diary in jade slip, my impression changed a little. I think he should be unearthly, but kind and responsible.

In the future, he learned about Chen Yu’s various affairs from the Qingshuidao population, and this image became complicated in his mind. But I also know that this is due to her special social environment in the past-in fact, she is very much like the kind of emotional, passionate and unfeeling person. This kind of person may have a messy private life, but they have a certain sense of responsibility and morality when doing business. Of course it refers to morality for some grand goals.

Unexpectedly, Li Chunfeng commented on her as “very cold temperament”.

However, if you think about it carefully… it doesn’t contradict the impressions he had made before. There are two sides to doing things alone. People who are passionate in public affairs, have a sense of responsibility and morality, and are extremely ruthless in personal affairs… Actually, it is not uncommon.

He even said that in his previous world, the overwhelming majority were all similar in appearance.

They can cry, hold your hand and say reluctant, and then tell you to die.

He thought for a while: “Are you saying that Chen Yu might be against me?”

“Just tell you to beware of this.” Li Chunfeng looked at him seriously,” Everything we think about now, whether yours or mine, is from your own point of view—preserving you and then saving the world. But with her, you are just’other people’. If there is any way to get more Good result, I guess she will sacrifice you like True Dragon without the slightest hesitation.”

“I have deduced several times, although didn’t expect better than what we currently think The way is not necessarily unpredictable. She is also a smart person… Don’t expose too much information in front of her-such as your temperament and preferences. She will hear all these things, but if she sees you, she will be careful Try to figure it out. You have to be quiet.”

Li Yunxin thought about it for a while, and said: “It sounds like your suggestion is reasonable.”

Li Chunfeng Shaking his head and smiling: “Now you are too good, I don’t have any other thoughts. I just want this World not to be destroyed like mine. Then, let’s wait.”

“What are you waiting for?”

“I used to contact Chen Yu, and she always returned a few days later.” Li Chunfeng said, “You have to stay in this double tiger city for a while. I just I live in this restaurant, but if there is news, I will notify you immediately. You plan to…”

“I live in Mongolia.” Li Yunxin thought for a while, “Forget it. Anyway, I want to buy him one. House, I’ll just buy a new house.”

Li Chunfeng immediately said: “I’ll take care of this. I have been walking around the world over the years and have met many people. In the past, Freemasonry and Munanju You can also use it, and it’s very convenient-do you like the house where Yu Meng lives now?”

Li Yunxin was taken aback: “The owner of that house is a Freemason?”

“People from Mu Nanju. If you like it, I want him to vacate him. Money will not treat him badly.”

It should not be a difficult decision to make. Li Yunxin hesitated for three breaths before saying: “Okay.”

Then he jumped downstairs and landed on the street. At this time, they have already used magical powers-people saw him hit the third floor and jumped down, landing on the ground lightly like fallen leaves. They also saw him look so handsome that he was not like a human being, and the “ang expensive” on his body was indescribable. apparel. But no one was surprised by this, as if he was just an ordinary passerby that’s all.

At most someone glanced briefly, but soon a voice in his head told him, “It’s nothing at worst.”

Li Yunxin walked through the streets like this, disappearing from Li Chunfeng’s vision. He turned onto another street and walked slowly with the pedestrians. Finally stared at a pair of father and son, and followed them.

He is a thin little man with dark skin and a coarse cloth shirt, and a child who is 5-6 years old. When Li Yunxin was 5~6 years old, he could already climb the cliff with Li Chunfeng, but this child was as thin as a Matchstick People. The big head was placed on the thin neck, and he lacked curiosity about the people and things in the market. It’s not the lack of cowarding and fearful things, but purely the lifelessness caused by experiencing the torture of life and experiencing the hunger and discouragement in the belly-just walking and alive already exhaust all energy, so there is no energy Go curious again.

In fact, many people in Human World are similar.

It seems that even in this era and in this double tiger city, this is a very bad life for father and son. Li Yunxin followed them five or six steps away, and could hear the two of them clearly. The man took the child’s hand and whispered to him as he walked.

What he said is probably “When you go to your grandfather’s house in a while, you have to call someone first. If you call someone, stay on the side and don’t touch anything. If someone gives you food, don’t eat, ask if you are hungry. If you are not hungry, you can say that you are not hungry. When you ask your grandmother, you will say that your grandmother is sick-you want to lend money to your grandmother for medical treatment.”

Child responded a few times, weakly. The man turned his face to look at him, then picked him up and walked away. But after only walking for a while, I also sweated on my forehead-in this cold spring season. Li Yunxin could see his heartbeat was extremely fast, and his arms trembled slightly, as if he was holding something heavy.

In fact, this child is skinny and weighs less than twenty catties. It seemed that the man was also weak and extremely hungry.

After walking for dozens of steps, I turned again and entered an alley. The first one in the alley is an ebony wooden door with two pairs of small stone lions in front of the door. The mansion is far smaller than the one where Yu Meng lives, but it also looks wealthy. If it were placed in his world, the family would be living near Yihuan’s business circle.

The man did not put the child down, but clasped the door.

The door opened, and a young man in Tsing Yi probed out and took a look—the expression remained the same. He just said politely, “Lord is here? I’ll go and pass the message.”

Then look at the child in the man’s arms and say “Little Young Master has grown up again”. Only then greeted the two of them in the door and asked to sit and wait by the porter.

Li Yunxin followed them behind, the man glanced at him, and the young man glanced at him. But he didn’t say anything, as if he didn’t exist, it was a rock or a wood.

While waiting, the man never put the child down.

After about two quarters of an hour, the young man came back and said, “Lord is not here, it is not convenient for my wife to meet guests. Aunt Lord, what can you tell me, Lord is back, I will reply.”

But Li Yunxin knew that after the young man had gone to the back house, Lord was not there, and it was also very convenient for the wife who was inconvenient to meet. The original words of those two were “Take three silver taels and send them away, look upset”.

This man from start to finish-even while waiting-has a dull expression. It was the same when he ordered the child on the street. He just hugged the son in his arms tightly… Li Yunxin stared at him, as if wanting to see something on his face.

Li Chunfeng also hugged him when he was young. It feels a little unclear. But he didn’t think it was annoying at the time, but he didn’t like it. Because at that time or after, they were not real fathers or children. It’s hard to feel a thoughtful adult being held by another adult.

But this child will think about this moment when he grows up-desperately desperate to go with his father to kiss the Qi Family to lend money to the grandmother, but he is left in the concierge, and his father is worried that he will be tired , I have been holding this moment… Wouldn’t it be really touched that… this is a rare fatherly love?

This man treats the child well, and ordinary people treat the child well, so he doesn’t care about it. That should be pure love.

After Xiao Si said these words, the man panicked a little. So he said, “A Huan is sick again. I saw it with the doctor a year ago and said that after the winter, it will get better. Now the winter has passed but I still can’t get up. I want to give A Huan some more medicine.” .

After hearing this, the young man asked “A Huan” about his illness. After asking, I thought about it, and asked the child again. The child stumblingly said as his father ordered.

So…this little servant touched it in his arms.

Take out one ingot and one silver. Said “I guess Lord Lord is in trouble, so I told Sister Yue’er that she had a silver taels from Sister Yue’er. When Lord comes back, I will go back to him.” Pass the silver to the man.

Man is not too small—he didn’t know that the Master originally gave three taels of silver—thanks a lot of kindness, and left with the child.

Li Yunxin stared at the little boy for a while, then narrowed his eyes. But in the end he didn’t do anything, just followed the man out. However, there was an Avatar left in the concierge, and he followed the servant in Tsing Yi.

The man walks out the alley holding the child, then puts the child down. Holding his hand, walked to the door of a bakery. I exchanged a tael of silver for a hundred wen, bought ten pancakes for five cents, and ordered a bowl of soup. An extra bowl is required and the soup cake is divided into two bowls. Squatting outside the store and eating with child. The child ate a half bowl and was full, and the man ate three more pancakes.

Then squeeze the remaining seven to the child and ask him to take home. The child happily held the cake and ran away.

The man got up and burped. The dull expression on his face was gone, and he walked two more streets and turned into “Shengbofang”.

In layman’s terms, this is a casino.

Li Yunxin stood in front of this gambling house, and it seemed that the people who came and went watched it for a while. When he hit the people walking by his side, he felt the chill inexplicably-it was cold, like a biting north wind. The several people in the gambling house who licked blood changed their faces and touched their swordsmen one after another, but they didn’t know where they felt…murderous aura.

But the murderous aura quickly disappeared. The silhouette of Li Yunxin is no longer in front of the casino.

The deity belongs to incarnation-he appeared next to the young man in Tsing Yi. The deity and incarnation feel different people and things at the same time, experience different emotions, but can be harmoniously self-consistent and digested. This feeling is very strange-maybe people who can draw a circle with their left hand and draw a square can experience a similar feeling slightly.

Just as the man took the child away, ate cakes, and walked a few streets into the gambling shop, the young man also did a few things.

First, I took a leave of absence from the “Sister Yueer” he had told the man before. That month, she was supposed to be a higher-ranked maid, she was reading with the Young Master at that time-occasionally to mention some words and poems from the Young Master who seemed to have little brains-no time to ask more, just be accurate Up.

Then Xiao Si changed into casual clothes and walked out the back door.

Walking through three alleys, I went to the soup and medicine shop and grabbed six pairs of medicines for clearing away heat and relieving the surface-it cost a few silver. Then I went to another store and ordered a small portion of cooked mutton and 20 boiled eggs, which cost me sixteen.

Li Yunxin followed him, looking at him silently, his eyes gloomy and uncertain.

Finally, the young man spent one hour to the south of Shuanghu City. This area is different from the previous streets and lanes, the roads are muddy and dirty, full of filth. The houses are also low and dilapidated, many of which are just straw sheds.

He entered a thatched house with a small courtyard. It looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.

At this time, the child has not yet arrived home.

There is a woman lying in bed in the room. Unkempt and unkempt, shaped like bones. It can be seen that it should be a beautiful age for Double Ten, and it should have been a bit charming before.

The young man entered the door, and the woman glanced at him on the kang, but said nothing.

So the young man started to make fire and decoction-but there was no firewood, so he went to a house two blocks away to buy firewood and returned.

For the skill of decoction, he sits next to the kang and peels an egg for the woman to eat. The woman stared straight at him for a while before she opened her mouth and took a small bite. Then tear her lamb to eat. Both of them were silent-Li Yunxin who was standing beside them was also silent.

After eating, the woman shed tears while eating. This little servant also shed tears.

Then he cried.

When they cry bitterly, they say intermittently and sobbing unclearly. But Li Yunxin heard clearly.

The woman was originally the daughter of a distant relative of the young servant Lord. Because my family is gone, I rushed over. After that, she had a secret knot with the sister familiarity breeds fondness, and it happened four months later. Was beaten and scolded, but did not say who the adulterer was. So he got married indiscriminately one night.

Li Yunxin watched them cry.

When they cried enough, the young man said, “He wants to come back and ask, so he said that Lord didn’t worry and sent me to see.” Then he hurried away, Li Yunxin let out a sigh of relief, slowly Sit down along the Kang.

Sitting this way for a quarter of an hour, he raised his hand and clicked on the woman’s forehead. She soon felt the strength in her body and no pain anywhere.

Then Li Yunxin raised his foot and walked out the door, only to see that the child had just come back-holding seven cakes, ran in the door happily to give the woman to eat. So the lady took the remaining mutton and peeled two more eggs for the child to eat.

The child ate and went to play in the yard. The lady felt that she had strength and got off the kang. She walked around and looked around, and began to tidy the house and clean the yard.

Li Yunxin was sitting on the low wall of the small courtyard watching the child playing, and slowly frowned.

He began to ask himself a question–

Will the man who entered the gambling house one day feel ashamed of this child, and his conscience found himself confessing to him? mistake?

Does a gambler who uses a child to beg for money have a conscience?

If you have a conscience, how can you do these things?

And Li Chunfeng…Today behaved like a remorseful father Li Chunfeng…How could he do those things in the past?

This is not like him.
