Black Flower · Dansha Banquet

【Pick up lonely soul】

After the last batch of goods were delivered, it was already evening, and the setting sun was slightly drunk, mixed with the slightly chilly evening wind, which gave people an unreal feeling.The two of them were not in a hurry to go back, they walked around the nearby antique street and picked out some things.It's not a valuable thing, but it looks fun and pleasing to the eye, so I bought it casually. There are not a few rare antiques in their hands. When buying things by themselves, they only care about the eye, and the quality and price are secondary. .

"Master Hua, what did you buy those white stones for?" Hei Xiazi asked casually as he looked at the small bag of stones that Xie Yuhua was carrying.

"As a cushion for the bonsai at home..." Xie Yuhua suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence.

"In this way, Master Hua is really in a good mood..." The black blind man was only halfway through his joke, when he noticed the strangeness of the people around him and looked forward, he curled his lips and said with a smile: "It seems that I really shouldn't take a shortcut today .”

"It's too late to say such things now. How many people are there? Are you sure?" Looking around, a dangerous aura has quietly swept over and surrounded them.

"About twenty people, the target should be us." Hei Xiazi looked at those people with weapons who appeared at the entrance of the alley, and whistled lightly.

Xie Yuhua turned her back to him, facing the same unoptimistic situation on the other side, "Stop talking nonsense, can you beat me?"

"That depends on how much you want to die, five points, seven points, ten points..." the black blind man muttered, turning around and kicking a side kick had already knocked over a person.Xie Yuhua glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and a piece of stone in her hand flew out quickly, hitting a person's knee and knocking the person to his knees. She sighed, "It's really cheap for these people to choose something after so much trouble."

The two work independently, but they have a very tacit understanding.The black blind man is domineering in attack and has an advantage in melee combat. He can almost knock people down with a single punch, and can't get up for a while; Xie Yuhua is thin, lacks strength and is more than flexible. Flying up, people can't see his movements clearly, often in a daze, the crimson butterfly between the knife has already flew to the eyes, cut open the skin, and drank blood.

When he landed on the ground, Hei Xiazi's black knife had already completed its mission and flew around in the master's palm several times. "Are you okay?" As soon as he said this sentence, he knew it was redundant.Xie Yuhua's complexion was not very good, her lips had lost their color, and there was a layer of thin cherry pink.Except for a few bright red splashes on the face and body, the whole person is like a lonely sail in the sea, crumbling.

Tsk, it seems that Xie Yuhua just fought this battle with strength, and if there are a few more people, they may not be able to hold on.He still has old injuries that haven't healed up a few days ago, and now he has new injuries.You can't stay here for long.

As the night fell, the black blind man didn't dare to stay any longer, he supported Xie Yuhua and walked towards the main road, hoping in his heart that there would be no more mistakes, but God just didn't allow it.They had just walked out of the intersection for a while, and formally encountered a large group of those people on the main road.

House seemingly endless rain!Black Glasses cursed in his heart, looked at those people, and then at Xie Yuhua beside him. "I can only gamble with my life." Xie Yuhua stood up, touched his arm, slid out the pen from his sleeve, and spun it a few times in his palm.

In front of him was a human wall of about ten people, and there were only two of them, both of whom were injured.In the heyday, one-to-many was no problem, but now they are the only ones who will suffer.Heixia took a few steps forward, stopped Xie Yuhua, and a person on the opposite side suddenly yelled:

"Heixiazi, I didn't mess with you anymore, why did you kill my family!"

Both of them froze for a moment and looked at each other.The blind man immediately understood, and slowly said to the people not far away: "I know that your target is me, let him go. Otherwise, your life will not be easy in the future."

Those words were very fierce, heavy and deterrent.Probably they had all heard what kind of person the black blind man was, and stopped a few meters away from them.

"No! Both of you have to die!" Wang Baqiu responded immediately.

"Then have you thought about the consequences of this? I will say one last thing, let him go!" The tone was a little more ruthless.

"Heixia..." Xie Yuhua called out in a low voice from the side.

"The two of us, the one who can walk is one. Our target is me." The blind man looked ahead, with his hands behind his head, "They are discussing now, but you must be able to leave, I believe."

The black blind man's sunglasses reflected light under the watery moonlight.Xie Yuhua stared at that haughty chin, as if a string in her heart twitched inexplicably.The blind man tilted his head, looked at him, and said with an unruly smile, "Let's go, don't look back."

"Of course, whether you come back or not is your own choice. I accept it."

Xie Yuhua clutched her wound and walked to the other side, turning her head to look at him.The blind man still smiled and waved at him.

"Okay, we can start the fight now, gentlemen, don't forget the grudge from last time." It turned out to be those people he beat up in the restaurant last time.I have to say that Wang Baqiu's move was really ruthless.The blind man adjusted his sunglasses, and hooked his fingers at the person in front of him.

"It's a pity that the mob will always be the mob, just like the bastard turned around and is still a bastard." The black blind man chuckled, and the black knife flashed out of his palm quickly, with a sharp edge, and quietly slashed a person's neck.He watched the blood gushing out and swung the knife down on one person.

"He didn't trust anyone, he only believed in himself." Qi Ming, who was hidden in the dark, lightly closed the tea cover and made a few teas, and said lightly, "He has some things that even my master can't understand. explain."

"He has been lonely for a long time because of the Qi family. I don't want to see him go on like this. Facing the changes outside, he just muddled through. I thought for a long time whether his heart had died at a certain moment before, leaving only His body is here..."

At that time, Xie Yuhua didn't understand why Qi Ming put his hopes on him.For a person like Heixiazi, only he can let others into his heart, no one can rush in.He didn't know whether he should be thankful or regretful, how could it be him... But the actual feeling was more complicated and unspeakable.

When he led his people to the entrance of the alley, there was already a dead silence inside, and the strong smell of blood lingered for a long time.He walked among the corpses that hadn't fully stiffened yet, trying hard to distinguish every strange face, while praying in his heart that the black blind man would not be among them.From the end of the alley to the end of the alley, after all, there was no familiar face. Xie Yuhua heaved a sigh of relief, and when she was slandering where this person would go, she saw a line of blood, bit by bit extending far away. place.Just as he was about to tell his subordinates to leave quickly, the guy who squatted aside and studied the corpse sighed:

"This person is really powerful, almost always killed with a single knife. In this case, if the main artery is cut, even the gods can't save him."

Xie Yuhua knew that the black blind man would always be that black blind man, ruthless and merciless.He is living for himself, and he will protect those around him who need protection, but this is not his only choice.Whether to save himself or save others is only in his mind.If he had been left behind at that time, it is unknown whether the choice of Hei Xiazi would have been completely different.Xie Yuhua shook her head, the matter has passed, it will not happen again, and he will not know what the answer is.

Xie Yuhua knew that it was impossible for him to be as calm as Heixiazi did when letting others go and leaving him alone, and many people couldn't.Many more will even wish to drag unrelated people through the mud.He is someone related to him, and the blind man let him go.There is no other reason, just saying "this matter has nothing to do with him." In fact, this circle is closely linked and closely related. It is difficult to say that a person has nothing to do with one thing.Hei Xiazi said this without hesitation, not because he really believed that he had nothing to do with that matter.It's just that from the very beginning, he decided to bear all the things by himself.

This man is too confident.One against all.

He's used to it.

It is also created by experience, you can't trust others, you can only trust yourself, and you must be strong enough to give yourself a sense of security.

On the surface, this person seems complicated like a cloud of fog, but when you look at the essence, you will find that this person is very simple, too simple, with clear love and hatred.A lot of things are not that he is unable to see the essence, but that he doesn't want to.Many mediocre people are troubled because they know too much and have no ability.

If he really cared about something and wanted to understand it, it was as easy as pie.It is precisely because I have seen through the complexity of this circle that I choose not to ask and ignore it, so that I can live a chic life.When everyone wanted to hug each other for warmth, he was still alone.With his ability, no force would not want to win him over, but he didn't need to.The wolf who has been in the wasteland for a long time is an army alone, and will not want to stay in the gentle country.The sense of security you need can be given to yourself.So face anything without fear.

The black blind man is extremely proud, but he does have the capital to be proud.

But the heights are too cold, pride and loneliness are equal signs, as long as you are proud, you will be lonely for as long as possible.

Xie Yuhua took the medicine box from the clerk, dismissed the people, and walked along the line of blood towards the blind man's shop.He must have been badly wounded, bleeding all the way.Although he said that he had placed high expectations on him, in fact, the blind man didn't give himself a way out at all.If you can't win, you will die, maybe that's what he thought at the time.

There will be no backup and no helpers, which is his default thinking.

There was no light in the shop, and Xie Yuhua knocked on the door lightly a few times, but no one responded.Could it be that this person didn't even have the strength to open the door?I saw that the lock on the front door was still hanging well, and there was no sign of being tampered with.The blind man probably didn't enter through the front door.

He walked around to the back door, jumped over the courtyard wall and landed quietly, grinning when the wound was torn.The back door was open.Under the reflection of the moonlight, he saw a vague figure leaning against the door, as if he was doing something, the shadows of his hands moved up and down.

Xie Yuhua had just taken a step forward when she heard Hei Xiazi's voice, "Why are you here?" It was as simple as an ordinary question.

"What if you die there if I don't come." Xie Yuhua sat down on the other side and sighed, "It's really okay for you to drink here after the fight. Is it disinfection or sorrow?" In the dim light, he couldn't see how many wounds on Heixiazi's body, but the strong smell of blood couldn't be covered up by the smell of alcohol.

"No, I just want to drink it. I'm used to it." The blind man raised his head and looked at the sky, half of the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the light coming in was dimmed a lot.

"Every time he sees blood, he will drink. The most serious time, he was wrapped into a rice dumpling, a rare drunk. He is the only one, even if the injury is so severe that he will be wrapped into a rice dumpling. , can also survive."

That person seemed to have lost all his sharpness and pride under the baptism of the moonlight and the past. He lit a cigarette, and the burnt soot fell down on the ground covered with moonlight.

"Where's the light? I'm going to bandage your wound." Xie Yuhua is always sober and knows what to do at what time, so she can be completely unaffected by the atmosphere.He could have a drink with the blind man, but not now.

"This side faces the direction past ten o'clock. There is a chair in the middle. Be careful to be hit." The black blind man stretched out his finger symbolically, tilted his head leisurely, leaned against the wall, and looked at Xie Yuhua. Stand up and walk over.

Turn on the lamp, and then you can see Heixiazi's appearance completely.The bloodstains all over the body, the scratched coat, and the face that seemed to be smiling all the time.

"Do you know how white your face is now?" Xie Yuhua said angrily, squatted down and took off his coat, moved over the medicine box and began to clean the wound.

"How white is it?" Hei Xiazi chatted with him with a smile.

"It's more than enough to take a ghost movie directly without makeup." Jie Yuhua looked up, saw those black eyes, and then lowered her head. "The kind that makes people feel distressed at a glance."

"No one has ever cared about me. They all said they deserve it, and I think so too." The blind man smiled and turned his head to look outside the courtyard. "I lost my composure, sorry."

"Get up, I have to work hard to bandage you like this." Xie Yuhua glanced at him and said sincerely.

The position was transferred to the chair, and the surrounding area became much brighter.Xie Yuhua tied the last bow beautifully, straightened up and clapped her hands: "It's done."

"It's the first time I've experienced what it's like to be wrapped into zongzi." The blind man smiled, just as he raised his hand to put the cigarette in his mouth, Jie Yuhua snatched it and pressed it on the table.

"Hey, this is my golden nanmu table, very expensive." The blind man was surprised.

"But I saved your life." A black hole had been formed on the table, and Xie Yuhua didn't care, and rolled the remaining half of the cigarette on the table.

"Okay." He shook his head helplessly, pointed to the wine jar by the door and said, "Help me move in, let's have a drink together."

It was not as strong as expected, Xie Yuhua drank it all in one gulp.It is clear and sweet, with the smell of alcohol, but it is not pungent, and it is as soft as silk and smooth through the throat, spreading a touch of warmth in the stomach.

"This jar of wine is called 'Drunken Life, Dreams and Death', I named it. It tastes good, but it's easy to get drunk. It's suitable for drinking alone."

"It's pretty good, maybe it's the life some people want. The world is too short to have fun in time, it's better to be drunk and dream about death, and sleep on yellow beams."

"Sometimes I just sit there." The blind man pointed to the spot just now, "Or in the courtyard, drinking alone. When I get drunk, I die, waiting for another new me to wake up the next day."

"But you are still blind after all. There is no old you to die, and no new you to wake up." Jie Yuhua bowed her head on the table and closed her eyes tiredly.

"Yes." There was the voice of the blind man next to him, and the sound of pouring wine, and then everything calmed down, only the blind man's soft voice, "Go to sleep."

Everything is quiet, even the wind stops.

When she woke up, as if a very long time had passed, Xie Yuhua got up from the bed and walked out of the room.There was no black blind man in the shop. He sat on the chair and yawned, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the space in front of him.

This is Heixiazi's place. It is decorated in an antique style. It should be very clean at ordinary times. Yesterday, the place where Heixiazi was sitting left a few bloodstains, which were particularly eye-catching on the blue-gray brick surface. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. .

But it can be seen that this is a place where there is only one person, without others in the past, it is extremely lonely.

Xie Yuhua turned over the teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea to drink.The teapot was still warm, so it must have been brewed not long ago.There is a used teacup opposite.Does the blind man also drink tea in the morning?Just as he was thinking, a man came in from the outside, carrying a bag of steamed buns and soy milk.

"It's quite early." The blind man yawned and put the things on the table casually, "Let's have breakfast."

Xie Yuhua looked up at him: "I want to drink porridge."

"Let's make do with it." The blind man sat down and put chopsticks in front of him, "I usually don't wake up so early." He yawned again after speaking.

No wonder he looked like he hadn't woken up.Xie Yuhua had no choice but to pick up a steamed bun, thinking while eating.

The two fell into an atmosphere of having a quiet breakfast.After a while, Xie Yuhua said, "You got into trouble."

"Huh?" The blind man raised his head with a bun in his mouth.

"Don't you know?" The two looked at each other strangely.

"I know." The blind man tilted his head, "But which one are you talking about?"

...Does it mean that you have caused too many troubles that you can't even remember?Xie Yuhua was speechless for a moment, sighed and explained: "Did you go to Wang Baqiu before?"

"Well, once, I talked to him about something." The blind man replied casually.

"Then do you know?" Xie Yuhua's expression suddenly became serious, "Wang Baqiu's wife, daughter and mother all died a few days ago."

"It has nothing to do with me." The blind man immediately raised his hands in surrender, "We had a good talk, there was no grievance or enmity, and it's not like I'm full to support myself."

"But from what Wang Baqiu said yesterday, he seems to have identified you as the murderer. The battle yesterday should be all his belongings. He really wants to put you to death."

"Master Hua'er, do you know how I came back?" The blind man sat up slightly, "Or how Wang Baqiu died."

Xie Yuhua was startled, and stared at the blind man.The corpse he saw yesterday was really Wang Baqiu.

"While we were still fighting, a man suddenly appeared from Wang Baqiu's side. It was one of his buddies. He broke Wang Baqiu's neck at once. The boss was killed, and the others all ran away." The blind man sighed. He took a deep breath, "That man was wearing a mask. I didn't see who he was, but before he left, he smiled at me. Obviously, I felt it."

Xie Yuhua was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "Do you still remember the incident when Xie's family was robbed about half a month ago? Actually, I did it on purpose. I know there are traitors in Xie's family, so I pretended I didn't care about it." Do too strict secrecy. Many people are eyeing the Xie family, and if the news is leaked, something will happen. Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to catch the traitor, but now it seems that it is far more than that simple." He paused for a while, and continued: "A few days after this happened, I heard that Wang Baqiu was messed up by someone. It should be you."

The blind man shrugged his shoulders and refused to comment.

"I've always thought this incident was strange, but now it makes sense to say it this way. Wang Baqiu has always been timid in doing things, and now he has suddenly become the focus of the Tao. This method is very dangerous. Either he He has enough ability to face the oppression of others, or he has someone behind him. Wang Baqiu has been well aware of his strength for so many years, and it is impossible to become violent overnight, so it is likely to be behind him Someone else instigated it. Perhaps Wang Baqiu just wanted to take this opportunity to expand his reputation. He had been suppressed by those giants for too long before, swallowed his anger, and always wanted to stand out.

Many people probably expected this, so they didn't do anything to him, just waited and watched. "

"Then the one who moved his family should be the one behind the scenes. He killed Wang Baqiu's family first, and then instigated him to target me?"

"His goal is not you. His goal is to kill Wang Baqiu in front of you. This is a kind of provocation."

"If you didn't go looking for trouble at that time, then his goal would be me. After all, Wang Baqiu robbed my things, and I would be suspected anyway, so when you exchanged terms with him, he didn't agree. I also died together. He asked that 'buddy' for his opinion. He thought that person was here to help him, but unfortunately..."

"He's here to provoke us." The blind man threw his hands back, "Maybe they didn't intend to do that, but later thought they could use this thing to frighten us."

Xie Yuhua sighed, "This war has already started long ago. Although every big head is beautiful, in fact, every family is living to death. It's not just the Xie family that has been infiltrated, the Huo family, the Sun family It's the same at home."

"They may have originally wanted to find a puppet to act instead of them, but this puppet was disobedient and exposed the people who were in charge, and finally went to a dead end."

This was the first time they saw the person behind them.

They were silent for a while, and Xie Yuhua looked up at him: "So, in this situation, do you want to avoid the limelight?"

"Huh?" The blind man tilted his head.

"Wang Baqiu has a few brothers, they won't let you go if they don't know the truth."

"Don't worry, they can't touch me." The blind man smiled.

"It's not a problem that can't be done at every turn. It's easy to hide with a sharp gun, but it's hard to defend with a hidden arrow. They can use any means." Jie Yuhua's tone did not relax because of this, "One person is difficult to defeat many hands, you'd better avoid it first. The limelight, the road is not peaceful recently, it is very chaotic, I..." Xie Yuhua paused, "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

"Master Hua'er would mention such a thing to me. There should be some countermeasures. You might as well speak up and listen. I will think about it."

"Master Hei is smart." Xie Yuhua said with a smile, "I have a fight here, it's not that big, please trouble Master Hei to take a trip, it will be considered a tour."

"Would you like me to supervise your work for you?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xie Yuhua suddenly smiled.

"There are people I suspect are inside, and there are some very important things that must not be leaked."

"You can't directly take them..." Heixiazi made a "click" movement.

"It's not easy for me to do anything here. I lost some manpower last time. If I do something like this now, people's hearts will be unstable. I can only throw them away first. By the way, you also go to avoid the limelight, and wait until I get rid of these things." Once it’s dealt with, let’s clean up all these miscellaneous things together.”

"You, the head of the family, have to think about a lot, and you have to think about everything carefully, hey." The black blind man joked.

Xie Yuhua was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Otherwise, how will this family support it..."

He stood up, leaning against the back door, his back to him. "Blind man, do you know how many brothers I have buried with me?" He opened his mouth after a moment of silence, turned his head and smiled miserably, and pointed to his heart, "Too many, I can't remember. I buried them It's all recorded here."

"So it's not surprising that they would betray me. People die for money and birds die for food. Who would be willing to give you your life for nothing. But I will not make it easier for those who betrayed me."

"Xie Yuhua doesn't live for one person. He has many brothers who follow him behind him. He wants to support the family. If the family collapses, those brothers will also die."

"I remind myself like this all the time. So the Xie family must not fail."

"Don't worry, let those people follow me, and I promise to disappear without anyone noticing."

"Just take care of yourself, I really can't take care of you, sorry."

The blind man spread his hands.
