Water lanterns and dreams in 1 nights

Half-heartedly with him for a while, almost drove him away, before leaving, he asked to see him more, I didn't take it seriously at the time, and after that, Xiuwen didn't show up for a few days, which also made me feel sad Much easier.

It was another fine weather, I went out for a walk, and happened to meet Yan Wu, who was buying medicine and went back to the mountain, and invited me to sit down, talking and laughing. who.

"There is no one else on this mountain."

"Is Xiuwen injured? A few days ago, he was obviously still healthy."

"Maybe he won't be well if I come."

"How's the injury?"

He smiled, "Why don't you come and see for yourself?"

Actually, I wanted to say goodbye after exchanging pleasantries, but Yan Wu took my hand and forced me to go up the mountain.Stepping over the threshold of the temple, I saw Xiuwen looking up at the red silk and wooden plaques for blessings hanging on the trees in the courtyard. His shoulders were thinner than before. Compared with the twins who were tired of martial arts, they seemed to be a year or two younger. .

When he saw me, his face became lively, "You are here!"

"What are you doing?" I walked over and looked up in the direction he was just now.

"I'm thinking about writing something and posting it up." Xiuwen said, "But I can't think of a wish for blessing." During the conversation, Yan Wu went into the pharmacy with the medicine bag.

"I heard you were injured."

"It's just a small injury, I didn't want to let you know." Xiuwen said, "Why did you find time to come here today? Could it be that you came to visit me?"

I said that I was brought over by Wusan on the way for a walk.

"Oh." Xiuwen said, not disappointed, "I don't think you will make this trip just for me."

"You and Wu Yan..."

Xiuwen told me very simply: "We are reconciled."

"what happened?"

"I'm afraid of him. It's better to be his younger brother than a target." He said, before I could inquire carefully, Yan Wu came out of the pharmacy and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? Count me in as well."

"I'm talking about the last time the two of you met, you two were still in a state of discord, and you made up so quickly."

Yan Wu laughed twice, "After all, brothers, there is nothing you can't get through."

Xiuwen rolled his eyes, but didn't open his mouth to refute. Later, taking advantage of Yanwu's absence, he explained the whole story to me in private.

It is not accidental that Yanwu stayed in my hotel. He had inquired about the good news and knew that Xiuwen often came here to look for me. In order to get rid of the killer behind him, he deliberately put on a bamboo hat and lived in the hotel so that he could attract stalkers. On the second day, he disguised himself After going out, the follower didn't recognize him, but took Xiuwen who looked the same as him, and followed him all the way to the temple.

"He used me as a bait to take the initiative. When the assassin came that day, he stood still and used me to kill the opponent's spirit. Seeing that I was at a loss, I almost died before showing up. That's how my injury came." He said. While talking, he rolled up his sleeves to show me the tightly wrapped bandages on his arms.

"You hurt..."

"what happened?"

"That day I saw Wu Yan for the first time, and he was covered in injuries."

"Ah."

"He said he took revenge, maybe this wave of people is not necessarily the remnants of that enemy."

Xiuwen sat on the bed and bent his knees, wrapping his arms around his knees.

"Speaking of which, it's really strange that you can reconcile so quickly." I rubbed my fingers against the wintersweet in the vase on the table, turned my head and saw that Xiuwen buried his head on his knees and said in a muffled voice, "I know. He has been dormant for three years and killed our enemy, and he is being retaliated against."

I handed him my own handkerchief, and he took it and wiped it carelessly on his face, then handed it to me, and I asked him to keep it for himself.He sniffled, grinned and wanted to cry again, and held it back with great difficulty, and said: "He has been stronger than me since he was a child, and I have always been useless. I thought that my life was not in vain if I risked my life to assassinate the enemy. I didn't expect this." He will also take over the work."

I secretly only said that it was boring.

She once thought that the two might have more complicated entanglements, but after all, it was just a misunderstanding. After talking about it, according to Xiuwen's personality, she shouldn't dare to quarrel with her elder brother again.I have long seen that although his mouth is frivolous, his heart is easily broken. He cares about many things, and his emotions are too rich. No matter what level I am, I can almost conclude that he can't win his big brother, and deep down he can't win. I understand this very well.I would like to know, does he really want to beat him?

I know that from a moral point of view, I shouldn't take other people's misery as a pastime, but I just have a secret expectation and it won't hinder others. On the surface, I comforted: "At least we are reunited now, and we will live well in the future."

Xiuwen nodded, just as I expected.

I walked out of the house, and Yan Wu stood where I was originally repairing the text. I was also looking at the prayers and auspicious words hanging on the tree. We talked a little bit casually, and he also asked me to spend the New Year with him, but I still declined.

"Your relationship with Xiuwen is closer than I thought. I think he trusts you."

"It's just that you weren't there at the time, and he regarded me as a big brother."

"He doesn't trust me as much as he trusts you." A sentence was said like a tongue twister, and I was a little puzzled why he would say such a thing in front of me, who was considered a stranger.

"I think Xiuwen is very dependent on you. Once you reconcile, he will have the backbone."

"Really?" Yan Wu didn't quite believe it, and he then advised me to stay for the New Year, because he wanted to get close to me and make friends, "I don't know how that cunning Xiuwen can get along so well with you."

Good but not necessarily, just can't run away.

"What if I insist on leaving?"

Yan Wu smiled gently and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't repaid your kindness for saving my life. You have to give me a chance to repay your kindness." In his seemingly peaceful words, there is a firmness that cannot be rejected. He said, "I think you have a deep fate with our brothers. Since it is a good fate, it is inevitable to avoid it, and we should cherish it even more."

That's what it means not to let go.Whether they are brothers or brothers, they all act in the same way, one is tougher and the other is tougher, and I have no option to refuse.

For a moment I had a subtle sense of absurdity.In terms of getting along, I have been with Xiuwen for a long time, and it is logical for him to rely on me and refuse to leave, but I have only met Wu Yanwu three or four times, and he also came to force me.

By now, I have figured it out.I meet them so frequently, it’s like they are being held by a thread, even if I avoid them now, it’s almost foreseeable that I’ll bump into them again soon, as if my resurrection is for them, and I’m attracted by their lives and stories.

I smiled slightly, as if I didn't understand what he said, and said goodbye to him.

All stories have an ending, and I cannot escape the imposed fate. I would rather be the facilitator myself, so that the conflicts will intensify earlier, and the ending will come faster and stronger.If blood is to be shed by then, it will be the result of the seeds they have sown themselves.What kind of compassion can anyone ask of me when "normal people" who are supposed to be empathetic can step over morality without shame?

The author has something to say:

The number of words in the first few chapters was too small, and the gap was severe, so the content was adjusted. The original 02 and 03 were merged into 64 chapters, and the original 04 and 05 were also merged into 65 chapters.It's 3 more chapters.

71. Twins 09

Everyone in the hotel was beaming and hung red lanterns high to highlight the festive atmosphere.As the Chinese New Year approaches, the number of tourists staying in the hotel has decreased a lot. Since I stayed for a while, I was taken care of by the hotel proprietress.She was a kindly widow of some age, her only son had died young, and the hotel had been left by her dead husband, and she had run it herself, and it was a proper business.

She is very enthusiastic, sometimes too enthusiastic, which makes me uncomfortable.On Chinese New Year's Day, there is a banquet in the store. The local guys go home to celebrate the New Year, and a few people from other places stay to spend it together.The proprietress cared about me alone, and thought that I was a poor character in her mind, so she kept inviting me to celebrate the New Year together.In order to avoid this kind of affection, I would rather send myself to the temple.

So I caused the trouble now again.

I went up the mountain on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.In the early morning of my thirties, I was still lying under the quilt. Xiuwen got me a bright red dress from somewhere and asked me to change into it, saying that it must be suitable for the New Year's scene.He put the clothes on my bed and watched me sit up in a daze with a smile.I just woke up, my eyes were dry, I rubbed my eyes and told him to take those harsh clothes away. "When did you see me in red?"

"Then it doesn't matter," he stretched out his hand behind his back, holding a branch of red plum inside, "Would you like to wear a red flower?"

I just got dressed, he casually put plum blossoms on the small table beside my bed, sat down beside my bed, "Hey, how are you going tonight?"

"Not too much, just as usual." I answered while tying the belt of my jacket.But not long after waking up, my body felt a little sluggish, my fingers were clumsy and I couldn't control them, and the belt was tied loosely, which didn't look right, so I had to untie the heavy tie.Xiuwen couldn't see it, and leaned over to tie it on me. The cold air from his clothes radiated to my face, which made my consciousness clear.

"At least the Chinese New Year should be lively." Xiuwen had a different opinion.

"I came because you said that the New Year on the mountain is clean and there is no need to deal with red tape."

"Not bad, but..."

I casually changed the subject and didn't let him continue.

Walking out the door, Yan Wu was chopping firewood. He did the heavy work very lightly. The log stood there, and the ax was lifted down as if lightly. White wicks piled up beside it.He worked for a while, but there was no sweat on his forehead.Hearing my footsteps, he spoke to me without looking up, "The weather is fine today."

I looked up and saw that the sky was clear and bright, the sun was shining white in the sky, exuding a heat, and it should be even warmer at noon. "It's not bad."

"You like to go for a walk, today is a good time." Yan Wu straightened up
