Yuan Yuanyuan was lying on the bed with the fat cat lying beside her. Xiaoying was sitting on the floor not far away, looking at the two of them with a frown in her eyes.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt inexplicably stressed... How should I put it? It was not until Xiaoying from next door came back that she suddenly realized that she had a holiday. Because her life was so dark and gloomy, she had completely forgotten about it.

Xiaoying was admitted to a place that's neither far nor near, and she seldom comes back. However, their school has holidays quite early. Now there is still a month or almost two months before the Chinese New Year, and Xiaoying's school has already had holidays. Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel jealous and resentful.

Students are still the best...

She said this because she felt a little depressed when she thought about having to go to the bar to punch in as usual today.

Xiaoying is now sitting cross-legged on the floor, chatting happily with Fatty Cat. Yuan Yuanyuan watches silently from the side. It seems that Xiaoying was a little interested in Fatty Cat back then, and now it seems...she is still a little interested?

Yuan Yuanyuan thought that when Xiaoying was in her third year of high school, she had tried her best to nip in the bud of early love. Now Xiaoying is already a freshman in college, so if she has a relationship... it seems that it is not impossible...

According to experience, the probability of success in dating in college is exponentially decreasing. People who keep dating will keep dating, and people who are single will probably stay single forever... Don't ask Yuan Yuanyuan where she summarized her experience...

Yuan Yuanyuan began to think uncontrollably that it might not be impossible for Xiaoying and Fatty to fall in love, but there was a problem - the difference in values ​​between monsters and humans.

Just when Yuan Yuanyuan was imagining that the two of them had given birth to a bunch of little half-demons, and were unwelcome in both the demon and human worlds and were suffering all kinds of hardships, Xiaoying over there was already listening to Fatty Cat bragging... Yes, the way these two people get along is one bragging and the other listening, very harmonious.

"What do big monsters look like? Are you considered a big monster?" Xiaoying asked.

"No, meow, I'm still some distance away from the big monster." The fat cat said, "But if I really fight a big monster, I can run away, meow~"

Listen, listen to this strange habit of speaking... Yuan Yuanyuan continued to look at the fat cat with the sidelong eyes. Xiaoying was obviously fooled by the fat cat. Yuan Yuanyuan silently complained that your way of getting out of it was to fake your death... Last time when you were surrounded by monsters on a street, it was Yuan Yuanyuan who went to rescue you.

"Awesome!" Xiaoying looked at the fat cat with admiration. Here I have to complain about one thing, many people think that the big monster is simple because of the monster record, because the big monster in the monster record is just like the standard one, but Xiaoying is completely the opposite, maybe because she knows that monsters exist, she thinks that monsters are particularly complicated, and thinks that big monsters are just like giant pandas.

In fact, for Yuan Yuanyuan, although big monsters are precious, they are not particularly precious in the current situation. After all, the situation is different from before. Big monsters are the most basic configuration. Monsters that are not big monsters cannot be mixed into the current monster records unless their life experience and abilities are quite special.

"Have you ever seen the characters in Monster Chronicles? Have you seen Fanning?" Xiaoying asked excitedly. Fat Cat shook his head. "I really haven't seen Fanning. Whether he is a real person or not is still debatable... But I did see Yuan Yingli once. When I was very young, our families were old friends."

Hmm? Xiaoying was instantly attracted to it. Not only her, but even Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't help wanting to hear what they were talking about.

"When I first saw him, he always seemed unsociable and listless," said the fat cat. "But we hardly ever said a word. He was not very popular at the time, and the adults didn't even let us play with him..."

"So you know Yuan Yingli!" Xiaoying became more and more excited. She came closer and asked Fatty, "Well, if that's the case, can you come to the Demon Record?"

"Me?" The fat cat's narrowed eyes suddenly widened, "No, no, no, I can't do that. If I go up there, I'll die..."

No, no, no, in fact, Fatty, if you are on the Monster Record like this, you might be able to find a new way and catch up with Yuan Yingli in popularity. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Fatty and Xiaoying silently, and suddenly her mind opened up again.

Maybe in the future there will be a comic book with a fat cat as the main character...

When Yuan Yuanyuan was thinking about something completely out of control, something the two people were saying suddenly caught her attention. Xiaoying asked Fatty Cat if he had seen Yuan. Fatty Cat nodded and said yes.

Then Xiaoying said that she had it too, and so she told her about that incident a long, long time ago. When Yuan Yuanyuan heard what Xiaoying said, she suddenly recalled that stormy night, and the bag of bones that was forced into her hands... She almost vomited blood.

After hearing Xiaoying's story, Fat Cat seemed very excited. He kept pulling Xiaoying to ask for details, and laughed out loud when he heard Xiaoying rushing out of the door. Yuanyuan began to suspect that Fat Cat's fan was fake. What happened to the promise of loving her for 1700 years? Is he really that deceiving?

"I saw Yuan once, too." Fat Cat suddenly changed his tone to a more serious one, which was quite similar to the tone he used when he told Yuan Yuanyuan stories before. "It was a long time ago."

Yuan Yuanyuan recalled in her mind when she had met Fat Cat with Yuan's attitude, and then it suddenly dawned on her, ah, it was that time when Fat Cat was surrounded by a group of people and couldn't get out.

"Why did you two meet?" Xiaoying asked curiously.

"Hmm...how should I put it?" Fat Cat thought for a moment, "I feel...still pretty cool? Although he didn't look too well at that time, probably because his body hadn't recovered yet..."

The two of them actually started to reminisce about the past. Yuan Yuanyuan resigned herself to pouring drinks for them and went to the kitchen to get some cups. When she came back, she heard the two of them starting to talk about what they had gotten that time.

"I touched that thing at that time." Fat Cat whispered, "It was a small whistle, made of bone, I don't know what kind of bone it was, but it felt particularly cool to the touch."

When Fatty said that, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly remembered something. Oh, that whistle... where is that whistle now? She almost lost it.

She didn't know what the whistle was for, she just put it there casually. Because she didn't know its use, she forgot it quickly. Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it and suddenly remembered where the thing went. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not lost. If it was lost, she would lose face.

"Bone whistle?" Xiaoying asked again, "What bones? Human bones?"

"It's definitely not a human bone. It would be horrible if a human bone was taken away in broad daylight." Fat Cat said, "I have seriously thought about what that thing is, because it caused quite a stir during that period. This thing must have been in Yuan's hands, and then for some reason it was given to a neighboring city... and then it has been kept as a town treasure, so I guess that thing... might be a tiger talisman."

"Tiger...what the hell?" When Fat Cat wanted to continue speaking, a head suddenly came over and stuck right in front of him.

"Tiger Tally." Xiaoying said, "Sister Yuanyuan, don't you know this thing? It's the thing that ancient generals had in their hands."

"...I know about the tiger talisman." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "But shouldn't the tiger talisman be in the shape of a tiger? And it has two halves...that fit together perfectly."

"Of course the things used by monsters are more sophisticated," Fanning said. "They are definitely not as crude as you humans. After all, monsters have so many illusion techniques that it's easy to imitate some things."

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the mysterious expression on Fatty's face and said, "So the thing used as the tiger talisman must be very magical, so the material of the whistle must be very special. Guess whose bone it is?"

Fat Cat's voice and expression sounded like Hannibal in The Silence of the Lambs. After he said this, Yuan Yuanyuan and Xiaoying both fell silent. They looked at each other and saw something from Fat Cat's expression.

"That bone... is Yuan's own?" Xiaoying finally broke the peace.

"I didn't say it's certain, it's just a possibility." Fat Cat said, "But I don't know where the tiger talisman is now. It was taken away by Yuan that day. After he disappeared, who had it? Is there anyone in charge of this tiger talisman?"

"Could it be that Yuan always wore it on his body, and then when Yuan disappeared, the tiger talisman also disappeared?" Xiaoying asked.

"Well... there is a possibility, but the possibility is a little small." Fat Cat said, "You have to consider Yuan's character. Who knows how many tricks he has kept? How could he keep such a big trick?"

Wait, wait, Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little confused. She looked at Fat Cat and Xiaoying who were discussing excitedly, and suddenly someone put on his clothes and went out, digging for a long time in a vacant lot on the outskirts of the city, and finally dug out a small box.

She put the box away, and when it was time to go to the tavern, she simply took the box with her.

During this journey, Yuan Yuanyuan began to think about a question - everyone said that Yuan had a backup plan, but Yuan Yuanyuan really didn't know what Yuan's backup plan was... This idea was actually wrong.

What if we let another living person help to "realize" these back-up plans one by one? Commonly known as getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later?

While Yuan Yuanyuan was daydreaming, Fanning and Yuan Yingli were sitting in the tavern very seriously. The proprietress sat on one side and said lazily, "Even if you come to ask me, I don't know anything... So you should go back first."

Fanning and Yuan Yingli looked at each other, but still insisted on sitting down. No one moved, and the room was silent.

After a while, Fanning suddenly asked, "When will the red-robed gentleman arrive?"

"Maybe later."

"Okay." Yuan Yingli and Fanning looked at each other, "Then let's wait a little longer."
