    ?

    As expected, the rain did not stop until evening. Huainan lay prone in front of the railing to watch the water drip from the eaves, stretched out his hand to catch the falling water droplets, and watched the water droplets swirl in his palm.

    Ye Lisong's umbrella was placed beside him.

    ? Tomorrow Monday, when Huainan was out of school, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. I used the school's public phone to contact Teacher Ye Li, but it turned out that Teacher Ye Li did not leave the school and gave Huainan an address.

    When Huainan found the door of Teacher Ye Li's house according to the address, through the black brick and red tile wall, there was a big apricot tree in the courtyard, which was blooming beautifully.

    After pressing the doorbell for a long time, the carved iron gate opened automatically. Huainan walked into the yard, feeling startled.

    An elegant small courtyard paved with fine white sand, with round stones on the sand as road stones.  A wooden corridor with bamboo roller blinds hanging under the corridor.  The three-storey pavilion is also all clean and white.

    A gust of wind blew, and the petals of the apricot blossoms fell in the small courtyard and in the corridors, one after another.

    Huainan looked in surprise, the layout of the inn was already very elegant, but he didn't expect Teacher Ye Li's house to be even better.  Huainan didn't dare to enter easily, he stood at the gate of the yard and called out to the teacher.

    "Come in." The door opened, and there seemed to be a wind blowing out. Huainan carefully stepped on the stones in the courtyard, came to the corridor, thought for a while, put the umbrella under the corridor, took off his shoes and stepped on the corridor.

    There were scattered flower petals in the corridor. Huainan tried his best not to step on the petals. When he entered the pavilion, he was surprised again. In the spacious hall, there were wooden shelves on both sides, and countless silk cloths were hung on the shelves, lined up layer by layer.

    Huainan walked to the end, but did not see where Ye Li was, "Ms. Ye." Huainan said, "Where are you?"

    "Upstairs." Huainan looked at the stairs in one corner, walked along the stairs to the second floor, and saw a screen.  Behind the screen, Huainan saw a figure from the back, who was wearing clothes like the ancients, and was writing something on the flower table.

    Huainan whispered, "Ms. Ye?"

    Ye Li turned his head, he was wearing a moon-white robe, with a dark white belt around his waist, holding a brush in his hand, and was writing. At this time, Ye Li was not wearing glasses, and his not-so-short hair was gently hanging behind his head  .

    "You?" Huainan almost didn't recognize it.

    Ye Li smiled, "What's wrong? Did it scare you?"

    Huainan hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's just a feeling, you, you are not like a teacher at school"

    Ye Li asked with interest: "What does that look like?"

    Huainan lowered his head and thought about it, "Like a fairy in the sky" he thought to himself, he is still such a beautiful fairy.

    Ye Li laughed, "Really? Find a place to sit by yourself."

    Huainan looked around, as if there was no place to sit, he hurriedly said: "No, I just want to ask a few questions, and I'll leave after I finish."

    Ye Li hummed, "It's up to you." He lowered his head and continued to write, and suddenly remembered something, then raised his head and said, "By the way, the cat didn't follow today?"

    Today Huainan came directly from school, so naturally Lili would not follow.

    Ye Li looked at Huainan standing there with a restrained look, and said: "Here, there are camellia cakes on the small table, and there is mountain spring tea in the pot next to it. If you like it, you are welcome."

    Huainan quickly shook his head again: "No, no, that, teacher"

    Ye Li put down the pen in his hand, turned around to look at her, smoothed his wide sleeves, pointed to a futon in the corner and said, "You can move it here and sit on it."

    Huainan hurriedly followed suit, the two sat cross-legged, Ye Li poured tea and said, "You want to ask about the squirrel, why you can see it but others can't, right?"

    Huainan saw the way Ye Li rolled up his sleeves to pour tea, and slowly shook the small Jasper cup, did he really think this was Teacher Ye Li?  I have never seen such an elegant teacher in the school, not even those teachers who like to wear Hanfu to teach students.

    Seeing that Huainan was in a daze, Ye Li asked, "What's wrong?"

    Huainan hurriedly lowered his head, "It's nothing." After thinking about it, he said, "Are you really Teacher Ye Li?"

    Ye Li smiled and said, "Why do you ask such a question? If it's not Ye Li, who should it be?"

    Huainan didn't know how to answer for a while, but Ye Li said, "I heard that your father likes to collect folklore, but there is a legend about collecting demons."

    Huainan raised his head in surprise, "A demon? A monster?"

    Ye Li nodded, "For example, the little squirrel you can see, and your family's" Ye Li stopped suddenly, Huainan was puzzled: "My family's? What?"

    "Let's put it this way." Ye Li got up, picked up the two Phoenix paperweights on the table, and suddenly threw them to the ground with force. The moment the paperweights touched the ground, they suddenly turned into two living things.??Phoenix, soaring into the sky.

    Huainan was stunned. The two phoenixes circled the room, screamed loudly, and fell back into Ye Li's hands again, still looking like wooden paperweights.

    Just listen to Ye Li said: "This is a demon."

    Huainan was stunned for a moment, before he came back to his senses, and stammered: "This wood is alive."

    Ye Li shook his head: "Wood is a dead thing, but the monster attached to it is a living thing."

    Huainan thought for a moment, and said, "Is there a monster attached to the little squirrel?"

    Ye Li shook his head: "That squirrel itself is a demon, so it doesn't need to be attached. Most monsters have their own original form, and most of them don't like to be attached. Only when they are controlled by people or under some special circumstances, will they attach to objects and reveal themselves to the world to complete a certain mission.  or agreement."

    Huainan still didn't quite understand: "Constrained by others?"

    Ye Li nodded: "Since there are monsters in the world, there will also be people who can see monsters. Monsters, like humans, have their order and laws, although the laws of monsters are relatively simple. When humans who can see monsters and some people  When a monster with strong spiritual power concludes a contract, the contracted monster will be controlled by the person until the contract ends."

    Huainan listened in a daze. The person who could see the monster hurriedly raised his head and said, "I can see the little squirrel, but Xiaolan can't. Because I am the one who can see the monster?"

    Ye Li nodded: "Yes."

    Huainan hurriedly said, "Why can I see it?"

    Ye Li looked back at Huainan, "You have to ask yourself this. Obviously, your parents are the kind of people who can't see."

    When walking out of the attic, Ye Li did not come out. Huainan put on his shoes in the corridor, and suddenly felt that the small courtyard seemed a little different from when he came in just now, but he couldn't tell what was different. He pondered for a while, and went home with his schoolbag on his back  went.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
