It was still snowing heavily.It looks fluffy and soft, but it is firm and icy to the touch, carrying the wind howling and sweeping across, forcing Wei Xiu and his old friend to find a eaves to avoid the snow.At the beginning of the new year, a pair of couplets on the eaves of the door was still brand new and bright red, and it was blown by the wind and snow, making people unable to help but suspect that it would be blown to pieces in the next moment.In the middle of the night, there was no candlelight in the nearby houses, and there was no sound of people around, only the wind and snow were rustling.Wei Xiu patted the wet snow on his body, and helped his old friend brush off the snow particles that fell on his head and shoulders. The snowflakes fluttered.

He raised his head, and saw that his old friend left a piece of fish that slipped through the eyebrows, and that bright snowflake was pointing at the corner of his eye, shining a little bit of light in the dark night, as if the tears shed for someone hadn't dried up .

Wei Xiu raised his hand and wiped the snow stain with his thumb, so as not to drag it for a long time, it would condense at the corner of his fragile eyes.After swiping twice, the ice crystals melted on his thumb, turning into icy water, stubbornly refusing to disappear.The old friend's complexion was not very good all the time, and the lip line curved down, which was quite different from his usual heartless smile.Wei Xiu then asked: "But it's because I can't keep my promise to you?"

The old friend muffled and said: "Why would I blame you? I feel sorry for Big Brother Wei, but also for myself. Since we are so dispensable to them, why did we have to be born in the first place?" The old friend's eyes Moist, the smear and wetness in the corners of the eyes are like stars on a summer night, bright as if they are glowing and hot.Wen Deweixiu's heart also softened, as if it had turned into a cluster of crispy cotton balls.

Wei Xiu was silent for a moment, and after a while, he pulled off his purse, took out six gold beans, a dozen or so silver coins, and finally took out a few silver notes from his body, and divided them in half. In the hands of an old friend.The old friend didn't know why at first, and then asked: "Brother Wei, why are you giving me these things?"

Wei Xiu was still searching for the valuables in the luggage, without raising his head, he said: "You really understand my current situation? I have been regarded by my father as an abandoned child who can be discarded at any time, and my mother also nodded and refused me." Well, as long as I don’t accept being a saint, I won’t have a proper identity in the future. Now I can’t protect myself, and I can’t do what I promised you at the beginning. Now I will give you half of the valuables on my body, and you keep the money. If you take it to a pawn shop, you can probably pawn it for about a thousand taels, don’t pawn it all at once, pawn it slowly, go to a town farther away to buy a house to live in, at least you can grow up without worrying about food and clothing.”

The old friend was stunned.

He pushed back the things in his arms to Wei Xiu, and said, "Brother Wei, I don't want these." Wei Xiu raised his head to look at him with calm eyes, but his old friend said, "If you don't have an identity, create one yourself! Do as you want Said, am I also a person without identity? I grew up day by day, and I got used to it. Is it also a serious beggar? This is my identity. When I grow up a bit later, I will make up my mind, go to the inn to help people wash dishes, or become an apprentice, then I will have another one. Do you have identities? Don’t identities come out of your own life? As long as you live, you will always have many identities.”

Wei Xiu seemed to be taken aback by what he said, and didn't respond for a moment.

The old friend paused, and then said: "Brother Wei, where are you going, I will go with you, okay?"

Wei Xiu came back to his senses and frowned: "I'm being hunted by two parties now. If I'm not careful, I might be caught back. You won't have a peaceful life if you follow me."

"I want to be with you just because they still want to arrest you." The old friend said naturally, "Brother Wei, you are smart, but you are not as good as me when climbing trees and walls. How can you escape by yourself?" Huh? We are still cooperating as before, and no amount of people can catch us."

Wei Xiu's heart was slightly shaken, he looked at the serious look of his old friend, the ball of cotton in his heart rolled and rolled, it seemed to roll into a flexible dough again, no matter how much he patted, he couldn't stop slapping.He pondered for a while, and said, "Have you thought about it? Follow me, you may often have to change from one place to another, live without a fixed place, and be extremely tired..."

"But I didn't have a decent place to live before. With Big Brother Wei, it won't be worse than before, right? You can still have enough food." The old friend showed that indifferent smile again, and along the way Wei Xiu has seen a lot, but now, he feels that his old friend's appearance is very kind and heart-warming.

Wei Xiu's mood also improved a bit, he smiled, and finally asked: "Have you really made up your mind that you want to go with me?"

"En!" Without any hesitation, the old friend stood in front of Wei Xiu, tilted his head to look at Wei Xiu for a moment, and said suddenly, "Brother Wei, can you be my elder brother? From now on, we will be a family. No one likes us." , we can like ourselves or each other, as long as I live for a day, I will never leave you, and I will never want you."

Wei Xiu was stunned when he heard the words, and after a while, he nodded and said: "You are right, others don't want us, but we have to want ourselves and like ourselves. Let's be family members, but if we want to change our name, I can't." If you use this name again, you also have a new name.”

"New name? This is really fresh." The old friend scratched his head, looking flattered.

"Well... let me think about it. In this way, I will take Zhao, the head of a hundred surnames, as my surname. From now on, I will be called... Zhao Tuanzhi, Tuanzhe, Juye, to commemorate the heaven and the earth let you My two brothers meet. As for you, anyway, you don’t know your real surname, so from today on, take my surname Zhao, how about that?”

"Okay, from today onwards, I also have a surname!" The old friend smiled, his eyebrows curved, his eyes sparkling, "Then what should I be called?"

"Hmm... Your name is Jian Zhi. How about taking the meaning of being as simple as you are, and being as happy as ever?"

"Do you want me to be happy every day?"

"I don't want you to be happy every day, and you are happy every day." Zhao Tuanzhi said directly, seeing his old friend pouted with dissatisfaction, he raised his hand and touched his head.The soft hair was twitching in the palm of his hand, itching slightly, which brought a little joy in his heart, "I hope you will be like this in the future, no matter what you encounter, you can make yourself happy." Probably because This is impossible for him, so I especially hope that my old friend can always be like this.Satisfied and happy, not disturbed by sorrow.

"Okay! Then my name will be Zhao Jianzhi." The old friend laughed happily.Zhao Tuanzhi looked at him, and suddenly felt that the darkness between the world and the earth became brighter, and there was a light beside him, saying that he would walk this dark road of Shura together with him.

Even his biological mother is unwilling to walk with him on this road, and even his younger brother who is related to him by blood is unwilling to suffer with him. For the sake of mother/brother, do you feel wronged?"

Is it some kind of grievance to sacrifice my life for their glory and wealth... Zhao Tuanzhi felt that he was not wrong, but in the eyes of his most cherished mother, he was actually wrong.

"You are already 'dead'! Are you so cruel that you want your brother to 'die' too! He is still so young, even if you don't feel sorry for your mother for so many years, you should feel sorry for your brother... as long as If you become a saint, your younger brother will be able to be a legitimate son. Your father also promised that he will be the only heir in the future. Isn't it much better than following you incognito? And he is your own younger brother, and he will always be the only heir in the future. I will earn a chance for you, that is, if you disguise yourself as a woman and become a saint, you suffer some grievances, and you are usually aloof and admired by all people? You are so smart, why can't you figure it out, and insist on wrestling with your father, Wringing with him, will there be any good results..."

The sound of her mother's crying was still in her ears, she was mournful, tears rolling down her face, she was crying so beautifully, so helplessly, it seemed that all the faults and all the mistakes were all on Wei Xiu.On the teenage and half-year-old child who escaped from the clutches of the clutches of a beggar by his own ability and came back home from a long distance.

His biggest mistake was that he successfully escaped home and learned some truths that he should not have known and was not prepared to know a few years in advance.

Otherwise, when the time passes and the past is gone, what awaits him is a lifetime of deception.

And the affection and love piled up with lies.

At that time, relatives will come in droves, and we can confidently say that we have been looking for you for a long time, thinking that you are dead, and we can confidently say that since you have become a saint of the Wumang Church, you can’t come back now, why don’t you continue to be a few years old, For our family, for your father and your brother, you can save yourself from death in the future.

Such affection.

Every sentence is like pushing the heart, every step is the design.It seems to be affectionate and considerate, but in fact it is ungrateful.

Does he want it?

he does not want.

At that time, looking at his mother who was crying and complaining about his disrespect and disrespect, Zhao Tuanzhi understood that he had completely become a loner.

However, when he was about to go on the road alone, and braved the wind, frost, rain and snow to leave in the dark, he found that he might not be so lonely, so lonely.

It turned out that there was still someone who understood him and was willing to accompany him.

Although this person has no blood relationship with him, he is much better than those who are connected with him.

The old friend stuffed everything in his arms back into Zhao Tuanzhi's bag, and asked Zhao Tuanzhi, "How do we get out of the city?"

Zhao Tuanzhi had a plan in mind, so he said: "Let's go to the slums first and find someone about my age to change into my clothes, take my family's token, and let him go out from the south gate early in the morning. As for you and me, I have saved I passed by a shopkeeper of a restaurant in Nancheng. He has a daughter who is a little older than me, so I went to borrow clothes from him first. We will get a carriage later and leave from Beicheng."

As Zhao Tuanzhi said, he looked at the still dark sky, "It's too early, wait a little longer."

The old friend's eyes widened: "Are you still going to dress up as a girl?"

Zhao Tuanzhi laughed at himself: "Of course, they probably didn't expect me to be so flexible."

The old friend nodded understandingly: "It's much better for you to pretend to be a girl now than to be a woman for the rest of your life. But in this way, won't we be able to use the new name?"

Zhao Tuanzhi pursed his lips and laughed: "Of course these two names cannot be used as aliases, they must be remembered in our hearts, only the two of us know, and we will use them for the rest of our lives when we are safe. Even if you and I accidentally separate in the future, regardless of the distance , as long as you don't forget, and I don't forget, you can use these two names to recognize each other."
