Gu Qiqi loves to look in the mirror.She always had a mirror in her backpack that could be folded into half the size of a palm, and when it was opened, it was a man tall.It was a gift from her mother, made from the tears of Narcissus, which could illuminate the most beautiful reflections.However, Gu Wuming disdains his sister's narcissistic behavior.It's just a pile of bones.If you have to describe it better, Gu Qiqi is a pair of staggered and curvy skeletons, and the surface will be much whiter than ordinary bones, like the last snow in late spring.However, no matter how beautiful it is, it is still a skeleton.This is an eternal fact.There are not many bone demons left alive, and since the death of their parents, Gu Qiqi and Gu Wuming have no relatives except for each other.Gu Qiqiting's mother mentioned that she originally had a cousin, but she was not satisfied with the ordinary and secluded life, ran to occupy the mountain as the king, opened a white bone hole on the mountain, put on the human skin of a girl on weekdays, lured passing men and women to the cave to eat, and was finally beaten to death by a monkey that jumped out of the stone, and did not die well.Of course, Gu Qiqi had never seen this cousin, and he didn't like her.Because she eats people.In Gu Qiqi's eyes, human beings are used to see, they wear different clothes every day, have different expressions, do different things, and use their own power to change the world little by little, how interesting, why eat them Moreover, she hates to see blood, this bright red liquid flowing out of the human body makes her dizzy, which is a rather unpleasant feeling.He couldn't imagine his cousin tearing at those human bodies.Besides, is it delicious for people to have fruit egg tarts, I actually want to watch Gu Qiqi eat egg tarts.But every time she just packed it up and took it away.I was curious about what a bone demon looked like when it ate, and I wondered if what they ate would leak out between the bones.The fact is that every time Gu Qiqi came to buy fruit tarts, the fat man and the thin man were scared half to death by her.Because she always came in the middle of the night, and out of the kindness of not disturbing others, she walked silently in a floating form.That day, the fat man who got up in the middle of the night to cook supper walked out while eating rice balls, and Leng Buding collided with him, and the fat man slipped into his throat with a rice ball, couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, and almost died young.I know she's a curious bone demon who can't get enough of everything in the world, and he can't help but take a walk around my yard when he buys an egg tart.Curiosity kills cats, and the curiosity of the bone demon almost kills the fat man.The fat man and the thin man had a lot of opinions about her, and agreed that he should put on a decent human skin and come out again, walking around with a skeleton, too abusive.However, he is still the same, always appearing in front of us in the most primitive and simple form.She said it was great, no need to perm your hair, no makeup, no need to even buy clothes.It's so easy to live like this, eating your favorite egg tarts, how easy it is.She always comes to buy tarts on weekend nights, and I know her time, so I always put the finished tarts in a special incubator to make sure they are warm when she gets them.Because fat and thin people are absolutely unwilling to bake a pair of skeleton egg tarts in the middle of the night.However, Gu Qiqi hadn't been here for almost a month.The custard tart prepared for her has been turned into our own breakfast several times in a row.Today is the weekend again, and the heat of midsummer does not want to go away at dusk, and the fat man and the thin man went to the newly opened beach to see the beauties in the morning, but fortunately they are gone, otherwise the unexpected Gu Wuming will make them have a nightmare for three days.Yes, it's not Gu Qiqi who came today, it's her brother Gu Wuming.This male bone demon who has survived for hundreds of years is very different from her sister, the pure black bones, deep as knocking over a bottle of ink that has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, and each rough bone is buried with tiny spots of light like gravel.The demonic power of the bone demon is defined by color.The darker the color, the more ferocious.Where Gu Wuming passed, all my originally lush flowers and plants bowed their heads.He rushed in like a gust of wind.I smiled at him: "Buy egg tarts for your sister" "Follow me" His voice is good, if you close your eyes, you will have a very complete man in your mind.I still smiled: "It's not romantic to elope with a skeleton, so I refuse." ”He seemed to be angry, and the table between me and him was overturned by his palm, the teapot and cup shattered to the ground, and the green tea flowed in all directions.He stepped in front of me, and I felt the chill spreading from his bones, instantly changing the temperature of the room.I fell from summer to harsh winter.He was a head taller than me, looking up at a black, angry skeleton much more uncomfortable than the golden lion before him.Because he doesn't have eyes, he doesn't have eyes, and I can't see the clues, I can't guess the thoughts."
I want your true breath of the dryad," his hand grabbed my wrist unexpectedly.Being suddenly grabbed by that cold bone made me think my hand was gone for a moment."
I haven't been fighting for years."
Although he didn't have eyes, I still looked at the two deep black holes in his face and said to him.I really don't want to fight, a table, a chair, a cup, everything is bought with money, it's a pity that it's broken Gu Wuming snorted coldly, but he grabbed me tighter It's not fifteen, it's still full moon tonight, the sky is golden and dazzling, and I thought the sun was wrong at the time.Lethe, a city that does not have much fame, sleeps under such moonlight, less of the reality of reinforced concrete, and more of a dream psychedelia.The brightest beams of moonlight shone in the back alley of a restaurant, and a few gluttonous wildcats hop on garbage cans, rummaging through them for food.High temperatures are a favorite of all kinds of odors.In the air in the middle of the alley, a crack opened, and a layer of white gas came out of it, like the steam gushing out of the steamed bun shop in the early morning, but there was no heat at all, and it was so cold that people wanted to die.Two men walked out of the gap, vaguely their figures gradually became clear in the white air, T-shirts, jeans, and shoes, the most common dress in summer, one with black hair, and a board inch; A redhead, waist-high.They are all good-looking, with no smile on their faces and sharp eyes under their eyes."
Exit of the underworld, can't you open to a cleaner place" In the darkness next to the garbage can, a thin figure of a young man, his oblique bangs were blown by the night wind and were quite messy and beautiful, although his facial features were not taken off, but it was initially inferred that he had the potential to grow into a beautiful man, a short red shirt was more vivid than a flame, a black schoolbag was worn cross-body behind his buttocks, and the zipper of the bag was carelessly open.The wildcats meowed and fled, one of them stomping over a garbage bag, a pile of rancid noodles falling to the ground, and a splash of sauce falling onto the boy's spotless sneakers.The young man raised his foot, frowned, and said, "You have to pay me a new pair of shoes, no, two pairs, and the bill will be handed over to my aunt." ”"The king did not send us out to buy you shoes."
The red-haired man walked up to the boy and said angrily, "If this mission fails, all of us will not have a good life, including you, Zhong Xiaokui." ”"What's the matter with me" Zhong Xiaokui's eyes widened, pointing at himself innocently, "You lost something in the underworld, and I didn't steal it, I'm only responsible for providing you with food and lodging in the human world." ”"Your task is more than food and lodging, the king has specially explained to us."
The black-haired man walked over and glanced at his companion, the two of them grabbed Zhong Xiaokui's arm left and right, and picked him up without saying anything, ignoring his protests at all, and walked out of the alley.In the moonlight, there were three people, and there was only one shadow.It has been a week since Gu Qiqi moved to this community, and his excitement is still overflowing.Her last "home" was somewhere in the Sahara Desert, where the sun was blazing; On the last "home", on an iceberg in Antarctica, you can see a group of penguins as soon as you go out; In the last place, whether it was a village outside Cape Town or Fifth Avenue in New York, she and her brother moved once a year, and there was hardly a place on earth that she hadn't set foot in for hundreds of years.This year, he went to China, a city called Lethe.However, this time she was alone.She took advantage of Gu Ming's opportunity to go out to run errands, and ran away from a noisy villa somewhere abroad.It was the first solo trip in her life, if he remembered correctly.Gu Wuming is an elder brother, a nanny, an instructor, and a cell boss, and the only requirement for this only sister is to be obedient.Be obedient, never appear in front of humans, and never be friends with humans.Be obedient and don't trust any kind of creature that lives under a sac.Be obedient, only eat vegetarian food, don't eat meat, and don't touch junk food such as potato chips.Maybe my brother just loves her too much.However, regardless of whether the elder brother is out of machismo hegemony or family concerns, he is really tired of this life with many restrictions.He wanted to live his life.There are a lot of people living in this ordinary neighborhood, there are high school students, salesmen who sell razors, retired people with gray hair, and columnists.Gu Qiqi goes in and out of these people's homes every day, watching them do things, listening to them talk, such an earthly life, fireworks in the world, is something that can never be felt in the desert, on the South Pole, or in a mansion.However, in view of this "good neighborly" behavior between her and humans, Gu Wuming walked past her twice, once because she rescued a middle-aged woman who jumped off a building in the middle of the night, and once because she ran out of the burning woods with a young man who broke his leg on her back.She thought it was a good thing, but in the eyes of her brother, it was heinous.t1706231537:
