Water lanterns and dreams in 1 nights

This is very normal for me.

"I know that I will be very lonely." Xiuwen said, "I grew up with my parents and never left home. What's more, in the whole world, you are the only person I know well. Naturally, I want to be with you during the holidays."

He stayed around until it was dark, I stopped him and suggested going downstairs to get some food and drink.I'm not going to have someone delivered to the room this time.He didn't want to leave at all, and with some wine and good food, he didn't know how long he would hang out in my room.

Candles were lit on the first floor, the light was very weak, and the whole hall was dark in tone. Due to the weather, there were more people sitting than usual, making noise.People shouting loudly and laughing, drunkenly punching their brains, many passers-by sheltering from the rain were crowded under the eaves outside the store, and they all shrunk their necks and stomped their feet from the cold.Xiuwen and I found a seat in the corner and ordered some light side dishes. I don’t like drinking, so I ordered a jug of sake and asked the hotel staff to warm it up to warm my hands and feet.

When I was ordering food, I suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You live in a temple, so does it matter if you eat meat dishes?"

"Maybe I shouldn't eat it. Just don't tell them. I'm only staying temporarily, and I'm not going to shave my head to become a monk."

This is the reason.So to accompany the wine, I added another plate of sauced beef.

"You are so considerate." Xiuwen spoke in this tone again.Every time he speaks like this, it always makes my heart shudder, and I immediately deny that it is nothing.

"Why refuse? It's not a bad thing." Xiuwen poured me a cup of tea, "You didn't realize that although you talk about nothing and don't want to talk to anyone, you are very thoughtful in your actions. I never thought about Su Zhai myself. Just like today, I know you are bothering me, but you still insist on not leaving, so what if you drive me out of the room. But you are always humble, as if I am very important, making me even more unable to leave .”

"Yes, I should have kicked you out a long time ago, and Ye Sheng's ears have been buzzing." He said as if I would leave him if I kicked him out.

"That's right. It's late now, the rooms are ready, and you have no reason to drive me away."

After a while, the food and wine were on the table, but he was still talking nonsense, so I let him go. Suddenly, I heard the neighing of horses outside and the sound of welcoming guests. Someone ordered the hotel staff to take the horses to the manger to feed them. I heard This voice seemed familiar.Soon the visitor entered through the main entrance, the black veil under the bamboo hat raised a corner, I just looked up and saw his real face, isn't it just an old acquaintance.

69. Twins 07

Those who come are tired of martial arts.

I looked towards Xiuwen, he obviously also saw the visitor's face, his expression was very strange at the moment, it was fear and hatred at the same time, unexpectedly he had no joy of meeting brothers.

I drank by myself, Fang Yanwu asked the hotel for a room and went up to the second floor, but Xiuwen didn't intend to recognize his relatives.It couldn't be better for me.Although the chances are not high, I sincerely hope that I am lucky enough that the two of them will not meet or conflict, at least not in front of me.

Xiuwen's usual relaxed expression disappeared, and he squeezed the cup to creak.Seeing that I didn't respond, he asked me why I wasn't surprised to see the same appearance as him.

"You have already seen it."

Not accurate enough.

"Not very early, only a few months earlier than you."

"Why don't you tell me?"

"You said he was dead, and he didn't seem to care about your whereabouts. I don't think you should care."

"You don't want to get involved at all, you wish you could stay away from us."

I sighed, "Could it be that I acted so incomprehensibly that you discovered it?"

Xiuwen was so angry that he lowered his voice and said, "I really want to make friends with you! You shouldn't..."

"Shouldn't I lie to you? I didn't. You have been lying to me. You said you were Xiao Wu, but I heard that you have another name."

He said that he never told me that his name was "Xiao Wu". , I think we met by chance, you didn’t know my family was twins so you called me 'Xiao Wu', I don't need to explain too much to outsiders."

"and after?"

"Meeting in the old house, although I am alive, half of my soul has been removed, and a familiar face suddenly appears in front of my eyes, and the name 'Xiao Wu' is so familiar, it immediately calls me back to the world. But I don't think about a word of the past. Mention. It’s just the name, why bother to rummage in memory to explain such a trivial matter, just admit it.”

He was afraid that I would still be angry, so he promised not to lie to me again, otherwise he would die in pieces.He has a smart face in vain, but he is stupid inside, what does it matter to him, why should he blurt out such an oath casually.

"Why don't you come forward and recognize him?"

As soon as the elder brother was mentioned, Xiuwen's expression became extremely exciting again, "If I don't chop him a few times, I will consider the friendship of a mother and compatriots."

"What I told you earlier is incomplete. It's true that my father was cut off by his enemies, but the rest of the family were all killed by him. The cook, the gardener, the housekeeper, and the servants, he killed cleanly and without blinking. Even I A stab in the heart, just a hair's breadth away, and I will never live again."

Since Xiuwen bumped into his brother, he wanted to leave angrily, so as to avoid being disgusted with martial arts.I looked outside, the rain-wet rice fields outside the window, it was pitch black, only the hazy yellow boundary under the light of the lantern on the promenade outside the door, and the water on the ground glowed black and bright.He is leaving now, tired of martial arts is also troublesome, it is better to stay and let them spend it by themselves.

I took a sip of the wine in the glass, and the spicy aroma fell all the way from my throat into my lungs, "No hurry, let's live tonight first."

"I don't want to see him."

"You can't hide from him forever." Although he didn't want to hear this fact. "Are you afraid of him?"

"No." He answered firmly.

But ever since he showed up at the hotel because of his tiredness, Xiuwen fidgeted, pretended to be calm, and tried to tell some old jokes, which disturbed me so much that I drove him back to rest.He waited for a while, and then went upstairs slowly.

The rain dripped all night, I fell asleep to the sound of the rain, and I don't know when it stopped.When I woke up the next day, someone knocked on the door "duk-duk". When I opened the door, it was Xiuwen.One morning, when he was refreshed, there was a shadow under his eyes, and he must have been upset all night by what he had encountered.He was going back to the mountain to bid farewell to me, saying that although the road was slippery during the daytime, he just had to be careful.The temple is not far away, so I told him to take my umbrella to prevent it from raining again.

Just stepped out of the threshold, the door of the adjacent room opened with a "squeak", Yan Wu came out in a crisp blue shirt, closed the door with his backhand, and said good morning with a smile.He has taken off his bamboo hat, his facial features have been concealed, and a beard has been put on his lips. At first glance, he looks very different from Xiuwen, and he cannot be recognized as a brother.

"It seems that we are indeed destined to each other." He said to me, he didn't give Xiuwen the slightest bit of peripheral vision. As soon as he came out, Xiuwen's calm mask was cracked, his teeth were clenched, and his body was imperceptibly backward. Shrinking, like a fox that has seen a natural enemy, its invisible tail is drooping.

I returned to Yanwu too early and chatted a few more words.Wu Yan didn't seem to see his younger brother who had been reunited for a long time standing in front of him, so he waited for a while before asking with a smile: "Why, I don't know how to say hello when I see my brother?"

Xiuwen lost the vigor of showing his teeth and claws last night, and his mouth was tightly pursed. The lady proprietress of the hotel passed by with half a basin of clear water, and was about to greet me. The basin fell to the wooden floor, and clear water splashed all over the floor.Yan Wu dodged the Hidden Sword sideways, quickly grabbed Xiuwen's wrist, tilted his head slightly, and his kind smile changed: "Brother, long time no see, you still haven't made any progress."

"Of course I'm not as good as you. In terms of insidiousness and viciousness, who can compare with you!"

"That's not interesting to say." Yanwu forced him to let go, grabbed the Hidden Blade and played with it in his hand. I saw that the two of them didn't settle down for a while. To appease the boss's wife, they were just bickering and joking, so don't worry.She was skeptical and didn't dare to say anything. She picked up the basin and hurried downstairs, not knowing if she was going to call the buddy.

Only then did Wu Yan say: "How sinister and vicious I am is not your turn to comment. Why, are you living a good life?"

"It's a pity that the sword didn't kill me!"

Yanwu Lanlan pressed the Hidden Sword against Xiuwen's neck, and asked with a smile, "Really?"

Seeing frequent glances from downstairs, I took over the Hidden Sword and let me take it. "Come in and talk, why bother standing outside as a stake."

"No need." Wu Wu was about to check out, "I still have things to attend to, so why not relax."

He turned his head and said to me: "I have something to do today, I'll go first, and I'll meet you for a drink another day, we made an agreement earlier, don't forget." Then he went downstairs and left the hotel.

Seeing that Xiuwen was still standing there, I reminded him, "You should go back."

"Wait a little longer." Xiuwen didn't know if he wanted to cry or get angry, "I don't want to run into him again when he walks away."

"Just separate like this?"

Xiuwen was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I can't kill him again."

I don't know if I can't kill it, I can't kill it, or I don't want to kill it.

He turned around and walked into my room, saying lonely: "Talk with me for a few more rounds. Once I leave, you will be deserted again. I don't know how you spend your days. You don't feel lonely." .” He seemed to be smiling, but his eyebrows were drooping, and he was not at all airy. He set up the chessboard by himself and waited for me to sit across from him.

"Last night, you were so angry that I thought it would be a big battle when the two of you met."

"If he wants to live, let him live. It's better than death. There are not many people in our family." He squeezed a white coin in his hand, which made him serious and desolate.The meeting with Wu Yan seemed to have inspired a part of his character that had never been revealed to me, and he was no longer the usual person for a while.
