Brother, did you confess today?

Zhu Xuguang: "..."

The bloody smell they smelled just now was from Ruan Zhou's body. It's still late at night, only a few candle lamps illuminate the corridor of the inn, but the young man in white clothes in front of him looks like a ghost.

They were all taken aback anyway.

Xu Xiangfei let out a cry: "This..."

Ruan Zhou felt that he was the one who could call the shots, so he lifted the epee and showed him the blood on it.

"Those people, it's settled."

Those people were dealt with by him, and as a reward, Xu Xiangfei wanted him to stay.

Perfect logic.

Xu Xiangfei: "..."

Zhu Xuguang's eyes were not friendly: "This is not the reason why you came to disturb my senior brother in the middle of the night, and we didn't ask you to help."

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that Ruan Zhou was really troublesome.

Oil and salt do not enter, speech is also incomprehensible, and deeds are even more unpredictable.

It's even more annoying than Zhou Ji.

A look of bewilderment flashed in Ruan Zhou's eyes, and he couldn't help looking at Xu Xiangfei.

He heard Zhu Xuguang talking to another person at the martial arts conference before, and mentioned that this senior brother has a good temper.

That person also told Zhu Xuguang that the senior brother loved him the most.

In this case, Xu Xiangfei should let him stay, right?

"It's like this. We have something to do when we come to Liangzhou, and we need to find someone soon. Even if I let you follow now, we can't continue all the way after that, so..."

Ruan Zhou bowed his head: "No problem."

He has no money now, and he doesn't know the way, so of course he followed the people he knew.

"Brother really want him to follow us?"

Zhu Xuguang also turned his head, and the two cold people stared at Xu Xiangfei together, which suddenly made him feel the pressure increased sharply.

It doesn't have to be like this...

As a junior, Zhu Xuguang certainly saw the expression on Xu Xiangfei's face, snorted and looked at Ruan Zhou: "There is no room for you."

Ruan Zhou: "No problem."

He can stand at the door.

Zhu Xuguang didn't want to talk to him either, so he slammed the door in front of everyone, and then pulled Xu Xiangfei: "Brother, continue to rest."

"how about you?"

Xu Xiangfei sat down on the bed obediently, and looked up at his junior brother who seemed to be too angry.

"...I'll find him a room."

Xu Xiangfei rolled onto the bed and laughed loudly: "Oh, junior brother, you are so cute."

Zhu Xuguang: "..."

……

The next day, Yue Manxing slept late, and went downstairs in a daze by touching the railing, and then searched for the whereabouts of his eldest brother.

But when he saw a strange yet familiar figure, he suddenly woke up, and walked to their table with a blank face: "This, this, this..."

Ruan Zhou now really thinks that they are very nice, and politely said: "Hello."

"...Hello." Yue Manxing sat down in a daze, looked at Xu Xiangfei, "Brother...?"

"Ah, that's it." Xu Xiangfei propped his face, "Just watch it as a story of a cold-faced boy repaying his favor."

A certain cold-faced boy: "?"

From Ruan Zhou's intermittent narration, they knew that this person had been following them, but for some reason he did not follow directly.

Then he decided to deal with the other group of people, and then came to eat and drink with the promise of kindness.

Of course, the latter sentence was added by Xu Xiangfei.

Ruan Zhou had never been joked by anyone, so he was a little flustered for a while, and he waved his hands but didn't know what to say.

Zhu Xuguang said coldly: "My brother is just joking."

Ruan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, blinked, and looked at Xu Xiangfei again.

It turned out that Zhu Xuguang's senior brother would still joke with him...

He lowered his head and ate his breakfast, probably because he ate quite full yesterday, and now he is eating more politely, but he still eats very quickly.

As if someone robbed him.

The more Xu Xiangfei looked at it, the more strange he felt, but he was not sure of his identity.

Logically speaking, Xu Xiangfei should have some impressions of people who used heavy swords well in the world, why did Ruan Zhou suddenly appear.

He was thinking about something, and conveniently made a bun for Zhu Xuguang.

Zhu Xuguang ate it without saying a word: "It's stuffed with cabbage."

"Oh, then I won't eat it." Xu Xiangfei took another one for him.

Zhu Xuguang lowered his head and continued to eat. Senior brother doesn't like to eat cabbage, so he eats anything with cabbage stuffing.

He aimed at Xu Xiangfei's chopsticks, and knocked off someone's hand that was about to pick up some pepper: "No."

Xu Xiangfei had a bitter face: "Oh, brother can't drink porridge every time."

"Who told you to be a picky eater." That's what Zhu Xuguang said, but Zhu Xuguang still gave him a small piece of meat pie, "Eat this."

Yue Manxing had long been used to the grumpy behavior of the seniors, but Ruan Zhou had obviously never seen them before, and raised his head to look at them several times during a meal.

Seeing Xu Xiangfei felt a little embarrassed.

In the past, he and Zhu Xuguang hadn't made their relationship clear to this extent, and these actions were done with a clear conscience and extremely natural.

now always feel...

It's a bit greasy.

However, Ruan Zhou has never seen what normal seniors get along with, but he just thinks that Xu Xiangfei is as good as what he overheard, and treats his seniors very well.

So good that he felt strange and strange.

……

Because Han Deyu didn't write a letter for a long time, Xu Xiangfei and the others had no choice but to go shopping in the new city.

Originally, Xu Xiangfei wanted to take this opportunity to find out why Zhou Ji was targeting him, but a Ruan Zhou appeared and solved those people.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

In front of Ruan Zhou, Xu Xiangfei naturally couldn't express his worries, and he wouldn't think that he was unnecessary. When he went out, he gave him and Yue Manxing some money with a smile.

Yue Manxing was a little confused: "Brother, I'm rich."

And Xu Xiangfei might not have as much silver as him.

"It's one thing to have it, and it's another thing for the elder brother to give it to you."

"...Then thank you, brother." Yue Manxing looked at Ruan Zhou, "Then you can come with me."

Don't even think about it, Zhu Xuguang will definitely follow Xu Xiangfei all the way.

Ruan Zhou tilted his head, stared at Xu Xiangfei and asked, "Why?"

Why give him silver?

Xu Xiangfei took out another paper fan from nowhere, unfolded it and fanned Zhu Xuguang, and laughed out loud when he heard this: "Hey, it's just a reward."

But isn't the reward he wants a loan?

Why give him money again?

Ruan Zhou couldn't figure it out, he had never seen someone like Xu Xiangfei, even the three people in front of him, so he didn't know how to speak.

Xu Xiangfei decided to take advantage of him: "Think of it this way, I am the biggest here, think about it in your home, is it the elders who give you some money to let you go out to play?"

"No."

"Ok?"

Ruan Zhou paused: "No one will give it, so I won't go out."

No one ever gave him money, and no one would let him hang out.

Xu Xiangfei understood, and suddenly felt complicated. After thinking about it, he stuffed a little bit for him: "It's okay, you can definitely play with brother."

Ruan Zhou didn't notice that someone had already claimed to be his elder brother, but he just stared blankly at the silver tael and copper plate in his hand, and then heard the two people on the opposite side talking quietly again.

Zhu Xuguang: "...Then senior brother, what about mine?"

Xu Xiangfei: "Let's go, brother's is yours, okay?"

Zhu Xuguang: "..."

Senior brother will always have a way to make his heart surge with a single sentence.

When the two of them left, Ruan Zhou and Yue Manxing naturally walked together.

Neither of them was a talkative person, and walking together was eerily silent.

But this feeling is quite familiar to Yue Manxing. In the last few years, he stayed with another person like this.

But that person listened to him anyway, Ruan Zhou didn't listen to anything, he looked here and there, and asked Yue Manxing: "This is it?"

Yue Manxing quietly counted the words to him in his heart, and when he heard the words, he looked at them: "Haven't you seen the rattle that children play?"

"No."

Ruan Zhou lowered his head, and saw another thing. Before he could ask, Yue Manxing said, "I didn't expect Liangzhou to have sugar people."

So there are other places too?

Ruan Zhou pondered for a long time, then looked at those sugar figures again.

Why make candy look like a human being?

"It's probably because children like it. In fact, they don't like it when they grow up."

Ruan Zhou looked at Yue Manxing: "Have you eaten?"

"Ah, yes."

Ruan Zhou was even more silent.

Yue Manxing felt something was wrong: "Although I don't know where you come from, have you never seen this way?"

How come these things are so unfamiliar.

"..." Ruan Zhou thought for a while, "The carriage."

He sat in the carriage all the way, and when he got to the place, someone would let him down, either killing people or killing people, and he would go back in the carriage after the matter was over.

This time it was just an accident.

"Carriage?" Yue Manxing obviously didn't understand, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to explain to him along this road without complaint.

"This is candied haws, which are wrapped in sugar and hawthorn inside."

"That's a sideshow."

"This is... eh!"

Yue Manxing immediately grabbed Ruan Zhou's hand that was about to move: "This is a child, it's impossible that you haven't seen this before, right?"

Ruan Zhou: "..."

The child sucked his stomach, bit down a candied haws, and looked at the two big brothers in a daze.

"Could it be that you want candied haws, so let's go buy them?"

"No." Ruan Zhou shook his head, not knowing how to explain it.

He seldom speaks to others, and can only stand still in silence.

The child looked at them, and suddenly burst into tears, hugging the candied haws tightly, for fear that they would snatch them away.

Yue Manxing: "...Don't, don't cry..."

"Mother, mother... mother..."

The child turned around in circles, looked and looked, hiding from Yue Manxing who squatted down and tried to coax him: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Just when Yue Manxing was at a loss, a woman wearing a headscarf rushed over and picked up the child vigilantly: "What are you doing?!"

"Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding..." Yue Manxing pointed to Ruan Zhou, "I blame him for being too fierce, and he wants to eat candied haws. The child may think that we are going to snatch it..."

The woman looked at them suspiciously, patted the child's back with her hands, and slowly comforted the crying child.

The child lay on the woman's shoulder, licked the candied haws in her hand, and said in a childlike voice, "Mother is the best."

Ruan Zhou seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him, and stood still, even if Yue Manxing wanted to press him to apologize to others, he was still in a daze.

The woman nodded quickly, and left with the child in her arms. Ruan Zhou moved slightly, following the figures of the mother and child.

"……What’s wrong with you?"

Ruan Zhou suddenly came back to his senses, and clenched his fists blankly: "...Mother, do you mean the same thing as mother?"

This is the longest sentence he has ever said.

Yue Manxing didn't have time to count how many words he said, and followed his eyes to look at the mother and child: "Of course."

"...Then, will it be like this?"

"Maybe, I haven't seen my mother either."

Ruan Zhou was startled, turned his head and looked at Yue Manxing for a while, then continued walking as if nothing had happened.

You could tell they were foreigners by looking at their clothes. A child who had been observing in secret for a long time suddenly ran up and pulled Ruan Zhou's sleeve and cried, "Brother, my mother is sick, can you kindly give me some money..."

"Hey..." Yue Manxing was about to speak, but seeing that Ruan Zhou really gave all the money to that child, he felt helpless for a while.

It's just that he didn't say much, and waited until the child ran away with the money in his hand, and then slowly said: "He just looked at us, and he didn't beg with others along the way, so he came to you...Although I don't want to say that, but Most likely a liar."

This kind of drama is not uncommon, but for Ruan Zhou, it is indeed rare.

"……yes?"

Ruan Zhou didn't understand: "Why?"

"Maybe I want to buy some food, or maybe I want to live a better life. There are too many reasons."

Yue Manxing thought for a while, and then comforted him: "But, of course, it's not impossible. He really wanted to save his mother, so you just have to be kind."

It was the money that belonged to the elder brother, Yue Manxing felt sorry for his elder brother.
