Randomly change the plot at your own risk

Xingzhou, the inner residence of the Xiao Mansion.

Every year, Xiao Zhi would go back to Xiao's house to live for a while. His parents knew that he was doing dangerous business, and they never trusted him.According to their initial expectations, Xiao Li should take the imperial examination to become an official. With Xiao Zhi's intelligence and the financial resources of the Xiao family, it is not difficult to make it to the top.

Xiao Li failed to fulfill his parents' wishes, so he tried his best to satisfy their requirements.

He had only been back for five days when he received a letter from the villa. The content of the letter made him feel emotional, his brows were furrowed, and he even relaxed the security around him. Only when someone walked two steps behind him did he realize it.

Xiao Chou turned his head, and the gentle and beautiful servant girl said softly: "Master, Madam asked the servant girl to bring you a bowl of sweet soup."

Xiao Zhi buckled the letter, feeling helpless in his heart.

This is also one of the requirements of the two elders, Xiao Zhi has passed the age of weak crown, but he has not yet married a wife, which makes the two elders worried.Their son was licking blood at the tip of the knife all day long, so they were very reluctant. They thought that if they got married and took root, they would be able to settle down, come back from that unlucky villa, and honestly inherit the family business.

It was only this request that Xiao Chou didn't agree to for a long time, so the second elder found another way, stuffed six beautiful maids in his room, and wanted him to be happy.

"Let's put it down." Xiao said scoldingly, "You can step back, and you need my permission before you come in next time."

The beautiful servant girl's lips trembled slightly, and she said in a whisper: "Your maidservant understands."

Not long after, Mrs. Xiao came over in person, walked straight into her son's room, and complained: "Zhou'er, you're bored at home all day long, isn't it boring? You said you came back to accompany us, but I have to come by myself. "

Xiao Chou pinched the bridge of his nose, sighed and said with a smile: "My son knows his mistake, please punish him."

Mrs. Xiao just took the opportunity to talk to him, how could she be willing to punish him?She stepped forward to take Xiao Chou's hand, and muttered: "You, it's fine if you don't know your home all day long, and you don't even want to leave it to me and your father? Even if you don't want to get married, at least you have to stay." One son and a half daughter. You know, Mrs. Wang, who often drinks tea with me, has two sons who are seven years old, and I am really envious."

Xiao Li was about to speak, but Mrs. Xiao blocked him, "It's okay to wander the rivers and lakes for fun, but it's not worth spending your whole life in it. You don't know, I worry day and night that you and Qian Xuan will go wrong , Qian Xuan, this brat, hasn't come home for more than a year, do you want to worry about me to death?"

Xiao Zhi's expression softened a little, and he comforted him: "Mother, don't worry, I will take care of Qian Xuan. Next time, I will bring him back."

Mrs. Xiao said: "Then next time, you two will get married together!"

Xiao Zhi: "..."

"Good things come in pairs, very good!" Mrs. Xiao beamed with joy and laughed, "You two should go hand in hand in everything, and happy events should be like this!"

Xiao Zhi was thoughtful, and said in a low voice: "It's not impossible..."

Mrs. Xiao said again: "By the way, the friend you brought back yesterday went out again early this morning, saying that he was looking for someone. The housekeeper said he was pale, but it was not easy to stop him."

"Does he really think he is the body of a diamond?" Xiao Zhi was rarely annoyed, "Mother, I'll go out to find him, you can do it yourself."

The streets of Xingzhou are full of people, and every shop is full of people.

One of them, wearing a fence, was tall and slender, but his back was slightly stooped. He walked into a shop and came out quickly with nothing in his hand. It seemed that he didn't want to buy anything.

Every time he walked into a house, he would ask the clerk inside, "Have you ever seen a man, about five feet two in stature, handsome in appearance, with bright eyes and white teeth, but light-colored lips and a sick look? It's called Qu Wen..."

The patient guy will tell him that he has never seen it; the impatient one who is busy will say no, and don’t come in if you don’t want to buy something.

He thanked everyone politely and went to the next house.

In the past year, he couldn't count how many times he said it, but the answer he got was no.

From the initial anxiety and excitement to now walking through a street and a city calmly and freely, is he already numb?

Perhaps in the eyes of others, he is already like a puppet, and his endless search is just to comfort himself.

But only he knows that every day and every moment of this year, he still has expectations, hoping that the next question will get the answer he wants, and that the next time he rubs shoulders, he will reunite with the person he misses.

He will still be lost, depressed, confused, and regretful. All his human emotions are accumulated in the name Qu Fan.

Without Qu Wen, he is just a puppet.

"Cough cough..."

The face under the fence was as pale as paper, he held his chest, and leaned against the wall to breathe slowly.

The injury he received yesterday punished him for his rash actions with severe pain. The knife wound across his chest was split open again. The black clothes could not see the injury, but his palms were soaking in blood.

He smiled, as if the pain was a reward.

The feeling of pain is the most distinct bond between him and Qu Fan.

The pain you have tasted, I will feel it twice, this is the proof that you loved me, and it is also the way I confess to you.

He only rested half a stick of incense for himself, and when the time came, he resolutely moved on to the next goal.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his arm.

"Vendor Master, please cultivate yourself well." The person who did it was Xiao Li, and he said in a very helpless tone.

"I'm no longer the owner of the villa." Kong Yunluo said flatly.

Xiao Li had no choice but to change his title, "Mr. Kong, people are made of flesh, not iron. If you abuse your body like this, you may fall down first if you don't find Qu Wen."

When he mentioned Qu Wen, Kong Yunluo fell silent, thinking seriously about the truth in his words.

Xiao Zhi really wanted to sigh, there is probably no second person in this world who is more persistent and stubborn than Kong Yunluo.

When Kong Yunluo learned of the contents of Qu'an's letter—the route he planned to leave after leaving Bugui Villa, it almost criss-crossed the direction of Huafeng Continent, and he didn't say exactly what the point was in the end.

Afterwards, he embarked on a long journey to find someone. With the power of not returning to the villa, it is not easy to find someone in the whole world, but it is definitely not impossible.But Kong Yunluo didn't mobilize manpower. If he did so, he would be catching up, and Qu Fan would only run away further and further away.

With his power fence, he interrogated each family. If there was any injustice, he would help out and hand over the villain to the yamen for disposal.This is what Qu Yan wants to see, he wants to become the kind of person that Qu Yan admires, their reunion will be a new and beautiful beginning.

Kong Yunluo had been looking forward to this.

Xiao Zhi also gave up telling him the fact that Qu Fan was not alive, but he also didn't want to see him wandering aimlessly like a walking dead.

"Come back with me." Xiao said scoldingly, "Your wound has opened again."

The empty clouds take root on the soles of their feet.

Xiao blamed: "If you come with me, I will tell you a piece of news related to Qu Wen."

Kong Yunluo's figure trembled, and even across the fence, Xiao Li could feel the light in his eyes.

Kong Yunluo returned to Xiao's mansion, and honestly asked the doctor to apply medicine and bandage him.

Mrs. Xiao sat outside with Xiao Zhi, she didn't know Kong Yunluo's real identity, she thought he was Xiao Zhi's friend in the world, or a good person who punished evil and eliminated rape!It was because of fighting bandits and protecting the people who were kidnapped by bandits that he suffered such serious injuries.

"He wants to find someone, so let's help him." Mrs. Xiao said, "Why bother to let him go out with injuries?"

Xiao Zhi couldn't tell his mother that he was looking for a dead person, so he sent her away with a few vague words.

After Kong Yunluo had finished bandaging, he couldn't wait to ask Xiao Zhi: "What kind of news does Qu know?"

It was only when something happened to Qu Fan that Kong Yunluo would be so forgetful that he didn't even investigate the truth.However, at first, some people used false news to lure Kong Yunluo. After Kong Yunluo found out, he mercilessly cleaned up the other party. He didn't kill him, but his life was worse than death.

"The villa sent a letter, saying that someone has seen Qu Fan." Xiao Zhi handed the letter to Kong Yunluo, which described in detail the situation of meeting Qu Fan.

After Kong Yunluo looked at it, his hands trembled imperceptibly, "Is he in Jiuxu?"

"Maybe." Xiao blamed, "But the witness went out in the middle of the night and drank alcohol, so it's more likely an illusion."

Xiao Zhi didn't deny death, but in fact this was an oolong, there were two letters, the other said that the villa sent someone to investigate, but he didn't know this person well.

The letter was written by Feng Li, and Xiao Zhi understood Feng Li's intention, he wanted to use this to trick Kong Yunluo back, and used a huge bait to get Kong Yunluo hooked, hoping that the higher he was hanged, the more painful the fall would be.In this way, Kong Yunluo might be able to wake up completely and be honestly his master.

"Go and have a look, maybe he is really there." Xiao Zhi followed the temptation, "Jiuxu is not far from the villa, and his intention of choosing there must be to give you a possibility."

"Is that so?" Kong Yunluo asked softly.

Xiao Zhi knew that he was shaken.

"It must be." After a few words, Xiao Li gave Kong Yunluo even greater expectations, "Mr. Kong, heal your injuries first, and Qu Fan doesn't want to see you with scars."

Kong Yunluo was thoughtful.

Xiao Zhi felt that he should be able to settle down.

As a result, at night, the servant delivered food to Kong Yunluo, and the house was empty, leaving only a short sentence on the paper:

One step ahead.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

It is really exhausting to be a good subordinate who is sympathetic to the boss.
