Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

Eri is always curious about everything new she sees. When she first got off the plane and came to this city, she was impressed by the vitality and comfort of Hefei.

In comparison, Tokyo, where she has lived for more than 20 years, is like a precision instrument polished with steel and countless gears tightly meshed together, and it is like a flying arrow when it is running.

The instrument is wrapped in countless steam pipes, and the gaps in each steam pipe are emitting sharp whistles, which are the heavy gasps from the lungs of the Japanese who have worked hard and even sacrificed their lives to build this city.

The reason why Hefei is called Hefei is that the Feishui River meets here. The people living here travel along the Feishui River and make a living along the Feishui River. Everyone seems to be light and there are few people on the streets who are in a hurry like the Japanese.

Lu Mingfei bought Changsha stinky tofu sold on the street. It was spicy and salty, but Eri was very happy to eat it.

They walked slowly towards the CBD area that had been expanded to the vicinity in recent years. The long street was shrouded in the swirling and falling, withered yellow leaves. Under the dim street lights, it seemed that there were only the shadows of the two of them. The trees on both sides of the road stretched out branches like giant arms, interlaced above their heads, and the grand shade of the trees covered everything familiar around them.

"In fact, we don't have many ginkgo trees here, but there are more sycamore trees." Lu Mingfei stuffed the stinky tofu that Eri had not finished eating into his mouth, speaking unclearly, with a slightly nostalgic look on his face, looking around.

There were still many people in the old city, but it was dinner time at this time. Students went home after class, and office workers also pushed open the door with fatigue.

The gray-white buildings behind the high or low walls on both sides of the street were leaking orange lights from one window after another.

In some windows, you can see the shadows of men, women and children interlaced, and in some windows you can see old people leaning on each other.

It was like countless scenes of theater were being performed one by one in front of them.

Eri has always longed for the lives of ordinary people. Sometimes she would think that if she were not a weapon of the Snake Family, she could go to school, make friends, go hiking with Sakura, skip classes and play games. Although not all of her actions were good, she felt that life should be wasted like this.

But now they are on the run, and ordinary and dull are destined to be untouchable dreams that are far away from them.

"Phoenix tree?" Eri repeated, hugging Lu Mingfei's arm and leaning her head on the man's shoulder.

She turned around secretly and looked back, leaving two lines of shallow footprints in the middle of the long street where the fallen leaves were not swept away.

The apricot-yellow dead leaves piled up, and after being stepped on, they sank, and the beautiful color became dim. The light and shadow effect at night was surprisingly good.

The footprints of two people, one big and one small, snuggled and entangled, as if stretching to the end of the world.

"The school I attended before was called Shilan Middle School, which is one of the best aristocratic schools in Hefei. My senior is also my schoolmate... Oh, that Chu Zihang who always likes to look sullen, is also the son of Aunt Su whom I just said I would visit." Lu Mingfei said casually, as if he was out for a walk.

After leaving the old community, the approximately one-kilometer-long Ginkgo Street, people began to increase again. In the sheds made of rainproof cloth extending from the shops on the street, boys wearing narrow-legged pants and moccasins played American marbles on the rough and uneven tables. In the small shop at the door, tired-looking men fiddled with their mobile phones while waiting for their wontons or noodles.

Going further, there were even more people and vehicles crowded. The bus swayed at the platform and honked the horn to open the door. Before it stopped, a man with a briefcase hurriedly squeezed out and trotted to the unit door in the alley. A few minutes later, the driver honked the horn hard and started swaying again.

We have reached the crossroads of the old city. There are old residential areas around. Some are crowded and some are quiet. In short, they are different from the CBD area not far away. Coming here from the CBD is like taking ten minutes to cross twenty years and return to Anhui in the last century. It is noisy and noisy, but it makes people feel at ease.

Eriyi has always been a very qualified listener. She never interrupts when Lu Mingfei speaks, and her face always looks very expectant.

In this way, Lu Mingfei always feels a sense of accomplishment every time he talks to him.

"... At that time, there was also a long street outside the gate of Shilan Middle School. Both sides of the long street were planted with big trees with the scientific name of "Plane". At that time, we called them "French plane trees". In autumn, the leaves are also yellow, and they look very similar to ginkgo leaves from a distance."

"When I was a child, I rarely saw plane trees. My brother always took me to the cherry blossom garden." Eriyi shook her head.

"Cherry blossoms are also beautiful." Lu Mingfei touched Eriyi's hair.

"But I also want to see other flowers besides cherry blossoms." Eri stared intently at the middle-aged man who was selling spring rainbow rings in the crowd.

In Lu Mingfei's eyes, the rainbow rings, which were useless except for tying knots, were played around in the hands of that guy. What Lingbo Weibu, Yuenu Swordsmanship, Dugu Jiujian, completely different but extremely smooth playing methods were brought out with the shouting of the middle-aged man, and the crowd around burst into cheers.

Lu Mingfei turned to look at Huili Yi's side face. Under the brim of the large peaked cap, the girl was still so beautiful that it made people want to forget the world at a glance. The bustling crowd was reflected in her magnificent crimson pupils.

She probably had rarely been exposed to such a lively scene in her life.

"Things that remain unchanged always make people reluctant to stay for a long time, just like that long road covered with plane trees that I walked for many years. Until now, there are obviously many memorable things that happened there, but I only remember those The big tree covers the entire street with its outstretched branches, like a long green shed, and its huge palm-shaped leaves provide shade and shelter from the sun and rain. When the leaves fall, the huge leaves fall from the sky like a heavy yellow snow. It felt like the sky was shattering." Lu Mingfei said, "At that time, someone told me to stay here to study in college, but I wondered if I would have to walk on the same road for four years or more for the rest of my life. Being with the plane trees is like a phoenix that can’t fly. It’s so sad. I want to see more things.”

"No." Eriyi suddenly said solemnly.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

"That's not the case." Eliyi's expression was serious. She pulled Lu Mingfei out of the crowd and walked in front of the dazzling luxury store. Her nose twitched slightly as if she smelled the roasted chestnuts in front of her.

"Some things are best never changed."

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the little girl actually wanted to have a debate with him about this kind of thing, so he cleared his throat and prepared to show off his sharp tongue.

At this time, they will soon reach the famous snack street nearby, and the pedestrians on the road have changed from middle-aged men and women to more boys and girls.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but felt his arm being pulled to the other side by Eri Yi. In a daze, the girl had stood on tiptoes and was leaning against his ear.

The faint cold fragrance enveloped him, and the warm water vapor felt in his ears gradually penetrated Lu Mingfei's soul.

Eriki put her arms around his neck and pressed against him unscrupulously. "I hope you will never leave me. Of course there are more flowers in the world than cherry blossoms, and trees are not just sycamores, but you are the only one in Lu Mingfei." She said in a whisper.

Now Eriki feels shy even when she says these words, and starts to act like a real girl.

Lu Mingfei was stunned, then suddenly laughed silently.

So that's what she wanted to say. She's such a...cute girl.

At this moment, Eriyi's pupils, as clear as ancient mirrors, were filled with a thin mist, and her voice seemed like a dream that would never wake up.

"I will never leave you. We depend on each other in life and death, in life and death..." Lu Mingfei couldn't say any more, because Eriki suddenly pressed her warm lips heavily on his lips.

The autumn wind on the long street passed through everyone's shadow and lifted the girl's dark red hair. Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, reflecting the brilliant light of the CBD in the distance.

He wanted to say, Hey girl, this is the street. Do you want to be photographed and posted online so that the stalkers from the college can find you?

And have you seen the murderous looks of the singles around you? Is this really a manly thing?

But in the end, he didn't say that or do anything else. He just reached out and took the girl who was kissing him into his arms, resting his forehead against hers, silently.

Both people's breathing was disordered, and both people's heartbeats were disordered.

Their souls seemed to be embracing each other at this moment.

"I want to see the river." Eriki said softly.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei didn't ask why. If she wanted to see it, she could go and see it. Aunt Su could visit anytime.

——He remembered that in the last battle of Tokyo, Caesar wielded the hunting knife to fight their way through the siege of the Immortals. He coughed up blood while swinging the knife because a claw pierced his lungs.

At that time, Eliyi was so scared, trembling, as if the whole world was going to kill her, only Lu Mingfei was still protecting her, but Lu Mingfei was already injured by her and couldn't move...

Now Caesar is here, but Caesar is at the end of his strength...

The Nibelung Plan did not allow an A-level hybrid to become a real dragon. Caesar became weaker and weaker under the siege of the immortals, and the wounds on his body became more and more deep. He shouted to Eriki He said, "Go, go, you fucking idiot, take your man and get out of here." Eriki was so frightened that she actually vibrated the huge broken dragon wings and slowly rose from the bridge over the Tama River.

Lu Mingfei remembered that during the battle with him, the clothes on her back were completely torn, exposing Mingyu's transparent skin, with white scales extending up and down along her spine, like a hard snake.

The pair of extremely ferocious and extremely beautiful wingtips raised up, turned diagonally, and flew away in a huge arc toward the distance away from Tokyo.

The scene at that time was vivid in his mind, and Lu Mingfei seemed to still recall that feeling. His feet were dangling in the air, and a wave of weakness swept through his body. He could only hold Eri Yi's slender waist tightly. .

At that time, he felt like an undead being snatched back from the hands of death, and everything around him seemed illusory and misty.

In fact, this was not the first time he had looked down at the earth like that, but he still completely forgot about the pain, only the surprise remained.

Deep in the eyes, the green mountains stretched into the distance, and the white waves of the water were distant and clear under the clear sky. They were the tributaries of the Tama River, and the earth became a huge territory for them.

"Eli Yi, are you back?" Lu Mingfei raised his head and said softly.

"It's me." Eri also responded softly.

The sound of the wind filled the cochlea, but the dragon blood in the bodies of both people had not yet cooled down. At this time, they still looked more like dragons than humans. It was too easy for a dragon to distinguish the other's voice from the sound of the wind.

"I'm sorry, it's me who made Sakura suffer so much." Eri said. Lu Mingfei could feel something falling on his face. He looked up and saw that beautiful and breathtaking face was covered with flying tears.

"Don't cry, I'm fine."

"I'm not crying, it's just rain."

"There's not even a cloud..."

"It's just rain!"

"Okay, okay, where are we going?"

"I don't know, we can go wherever we can. Sister Xia Mi said we should never look back, because the falcons of the academy are waiting for us to look back."

"Can I go to Hongjing to have a look?"

Eri nodded, looking at Lu Mingfei's tired and sad eyes that had finally recovered some spirit, she smiled with her teeth showing, "Sister also said she is still there, we can still see her, and told us not to be sad, and she also said you know how to find her."...

--Lu Mingfei shook his head, only to feel a dizzy pain in his chest.

How can I find her? I've been looking for her for so long, and I only know to go to hell and snatch her back from the hands of the god of death.

The god of death...

It's Odin, right?

But that day, Eri didn't ask him why he was going to Hongjing, and he wouldn't ask Eri what he wanted to do by the river.

After reaching the river bank, Lu Mingfei discovered that the river lanterns were floating here, and the sandbank was full of boys and girls who came out to collect folk songs at night.

They leaned against the carved railings, and Eriyi uttered a low sigh of admiration beside him.

There are actually some river lanterns in Tokyo, but Eriyi has never seen one before.

She probably found out about this kind of activity on the river at night from the Internet, so she asked Lu Mingfei to come here.

There were merchants selling small boats by the river, and Lu Mingfei saw that Eriyi seemed to want one, so he went to buy one.

Eriyi excitedly lit the candle, gently pushed the small wooden boat into the undulating river, and the breeze took it to the other side.

Lu Mingfei raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that although waves were pushed over one after another, all the boats were overturned, but Eriyi's river lanterns were still shining.

At this time, the thin song suddenly rose in the wind, turned several times and flew to the sky along the wind.

Lu Mingfei looked down and saw Eri standing on the sandbank, looking at the river lanterns and softly singing a Japanese song that he didn't quite understand.

The wind blew up her skirt and hair. She tiptoed lightly with her hands behind her back, as if she would fly away with the wind at any time.

Lu Mingfei never knew that Eri could sing, and she could sing so beautifully, like the wind blowing through the pipes of a pan flute, melodious and light. (End of this chapter)
