Time travel without cheats

"Brother...don't cry, don't cry..." Ran Xiaoan kissed the corner of his eyes and gently wiped away the tears for him, "I won't leave you, isn't this coming...Look, I Okay...Xiao Le, don't be sad, please..."

"Ran Xiao'an!" Ran Xiaole cried out of breath, hiccupping even when speaking, he pushed his younger brother away, and punched him in the face, only heard a muffled sound, Ran Xiaoan's forehead hit straight He didn't dodge the stone on the ground, but just looked at his brother pitifully, with boundless affection in his eyes.

"Xiao Le..." Like a child who made a mistake, he cautiously reached for his brother's hand. Ran Xiaole's little finger flinched slightly, but he was still reluctant to shake it off and let him take it away.He sniffed aggrievedly, "I thought you were going to..." Ran Xiaole was afraid that his words would become a prophecy, so he didn't dare to continue imagining, "Ran Xiaoan, do you know how scared I am? If there is something wrong with you, I will return Live or not? Huh?"

"I'm sorry..." Xiaoan got up and hugged him tightly, "It's all my fault, it's my fault, but there are still ghosts there, I have to deal with the aftermath, leaving them with Duan Yang, the consequences will be disastrous, yes wrong?"

"What about Duan Yang?"

"It's locked there by me, and I won't be able to get through for a while."

Ran Xiaole pouted, and finally listened to him a bit. Seeing his understatement, she didn't care too much. She just muttered in a low voice: "Then you can't scare me like this...even...even...tell me..."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, ma'am..." Ran Xiaoan kissed him shyly, and said with an apologetic smile, "Look, I brought Zhang Xiaoyou with me, I can't leave this little thing there, you Say yes? Don't be angry, okay?"

"Chirp!"

"Let's play!" Ran Xiaole pursed his lips and smiled, his voice was hoarse because he cried for too long, he glanced at his brother's bruised wound, and blamed himself even more, "Does it hurt?"

Xiao An took his hand and rubbed his cheek affectionately against his palm, "Xiao An deserves it, you made my brother angry, hit me a few more times, as long as you can smile."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Ran Xiaoan gave him a blank look, and his anger finally dissipated. After he calmed down, he realized how long he had been watched. Fang Jin and Duan Xi stood aside and whispered. Straight to the point, even the unsmiling Ling Qi seemed to be holding back a smile.Not to mention the ghosts, each of them is eager to move a small bench and enjoy the show while eating melon seeds.At this moment, Ran Xiaole's mind seemed to have retrieved a long-forgotten vocabulary from beyond the clouds - people who eat melons.

Thinking of himself as a big man, Ran Xiaole turned out to be in an embarrassing state of crying, making noise and being coquettish just now, and Ran Xiaole was filled with embarrassment and annoyance. He was just about to walk a little farther, but his neck suddenly felt like a cramping pain.

"hiss…"

"elder brother?"

"neck pain."

"I'll give you a rub."

Ran Xiaoan glared at Fang Jin, and Fang Jin glared back at him, jokingly said, "What? Will the bridge be demolished after crossing the river?"

"He's not in good health, what are you doing with so much strength?"

Fang Jin shrugged his shoulders, "In desperation, it's all over. If you don't thank me, it's fine, how can you blame me!"

"Xiao'an..." Duan Xi glanced at the people beside him, and said with a naive smile, "A Jin doesn't know the seriousness, so don't blame him, I'll let brother Xiaole take care of it, it's fine."

"You fat man, how can you speak for him?"

Duan Xi lowered his head as if pleading guilty, and secretly scratched his palm. Seeing that he was not really angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, don't quarrel." Ran Xiaole was a little embarrassed, blushing and said: "Where is this?"

Xiao An scratched the bridge of his nose, "Finally remembered to ask?"

Ran Xiaole snorted, "It's not all because of you!"

Xiao An smiled, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and pointed into the distance, "This is their home."

"them?"

"Ah."

Ran Xiaole narrowed his eyes, only five of them and one bird were left in the crowd, which was still dark just now, "Where are people?"

"Go home." Ran Xiaoan thought of something and snapped his fingers, "By the way, brother has been here before."

"I've been here?"

Ran Xiaole was full of wonder, he looked around suspiciously at the surrounding scenery, no matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary mountain village, but somewhat similar to his former hometown. "Huh?" He seemed to have noticed something, walked closer quickly, and squeezed his eyes hard, "This... these are those... scarecrows?"

"Well, the sun is about to rise, and they have to be attached to the straw man so that they won't be wiped out."

"Here...could it be..."

Ran Xiaole opened his mouth, and he remembered a place where he witnessed Ran Xiaoan's thrilling growth.

"Desert."

Hearing these two words, Fang Jin's phoenix eyes glanced lightly, and he turned his head to glance at Ling Qi. Sure enough, he saw that his face was earthy, his tightly pressed lips were almost bleeding from his bite, and he could even hear the grinding of his teeth. .His sword hand shivered in horror, as if it was some weighty burden.

Fang Jin smiled faintly, "Ling Qi."

No one responded, Fang Jin raised her voice a bit, "Ling Qi!"

"Master...Master..." Ling Qi bent his knees, and knelt down on the ground as if his whole body had lost his strength, "Forgive Ling Qi..."

"I'll spare you?" Fang Jin turned around slowly, and looked down at him condescendingly, with a calm majesty in her tone, "Ling Qi, when will you understand that the person who spared you should never be me .”

Ling Qi looked at him pleadingly, Fang Jin's expression hesitated for a moment, but immediately became fierce again.For a secret, he has been merciful for 20 years, thinking that the years of condensing can teach Ling Qi to face it, but who knows that he is getting deeper and deeper and fleeing farther and farther. He wanted to wait for him to slowly dig out the pain, but it made him wish Bury those pains alive with yourself.At this moment, this situation, Fang Jin knew that if he was not forced anymore, from now on, he would be left alone with that person, no, that ghost. A lifetime of knots, and finally rewinding and entanglement, strangling himself to death.

"Ling Shi."

Fang Jin bent down, pinched Ling Qi's chin, and paused every word, "Wake up, Ling Qi... died 20 years ago..."

"No, no!" Ling Qi grabbed Fang Jin's clothes tightly, as if it was the only floating board that a drowning person could hold on to. His eyes were full of stars, and he shook his head desperately, "No...I'm not..."

"You are." Fang Jin took a deep breath, "You are Ling Shi. Your younger brother, the one who was exiled to the desert, suffered humiliation, and has no bones left, is Ling Qi."

"No...nonsense...Master, don't be joking..."

"Do I sound like I'm joking?"

Ling Qi drooped his head in a daze, like a downcast homeless dog, he collapsed dejectedly, as if weeping silently.

The few times Fang Jin saw this man cry, it was all because of this cruel memory.

It only took a moment to be cruel. He pulled out the corner of his clothes, turned around and left, and said coldly: "You can do it yourself. Duan Xi, let's go."

Even if you are weak, even if you are in pain, even if you hate me, I must do this.

"A Jin..."

"I said go, don't you understand?"

Duan Xi forgot to glance at Ling Qi sympathetically, and looked at Ran Xiaoan again, seeing that he just held his brother's hand and walked away side by side with Fang Jin.Duan Xi sighed softly, wanting to say something, but stopped after all.

He has no position.

"We live here." Ran Xiaoan stopped in front of a small courtyard, "This is Lingqi's home."

"Okay." Fang Jin looked back, but no one followed.

"Leave him alone." Ran Xiaoan pushed the door open, "You can't help him."

"Hmm." Fang Jin stared at the scarecrow at the door for a long time, "Is this him?"

"Yes."

"How did you do it? Turn that desert into a village full of rice paddies?"

Ran Xiaoan smiled, "It took a lot of effort. What you see is actually an illusion."

"You rely on spiritual power to maintain? But you only have half a golden bead left, you..."

Ran Xiaole poked her head curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about Anlemen, I told you." Ran Xiaoan kissed him on the temple, and the other party winked, Fang Jin understood, and coughed lightly, "Yes, do you have food? Duan Xi now I must have starved to death."

"Yes, I will do it."

"No, you rest, I'll come." Ran Xiaole tiptoed and quickly pecked his younger brother's lips, then ran away shyly.

"It's like a little daughter-in-law."

"Ah."

"Didn't you always keep him out of the kitchen?"

"Stop going around in circles, you have something to tell me."

Fang Jin smiled, "Duan Xi, go and see Ran Xiaole, be careful that he burns."

Duan Xi always understood his Ajin, he blinked, let go of his hand, and nodded obediently, "Okay."

Fang Jin poured himself a bowl of white water, and the two sat on the ground under a jujube tree in the courtyard, "How long can you last for half a golden bead?"

"do not know."

"You didn't tell him the truth."

"Half said."

"You rely on half a golden bead, and you have to maintain the illusion here, and you have to contend with Duan Yang over there, Xiao An, are you sure?"

Ran Xiaoan was silent for a long time, "I have no choice."

"just can not…"

"No." Ran Xiaoan resolutely rejected Fang Jin, "This is their home."

Fang Jin chuckled, "Since when have you been so kind?"

"I'm not kind, I hate kindness the most." Ran Xiaoan looked at the smoke rising from the kitchen, and smiled faintly, "But how can you take back what you give to others?"

"You want to protect them?"

"You can't break the promise you made, this is what Xiao Le taught me."

Fang Jin was speechless. A person can be heartless and heartless but still have flesh and blood. He has always believed that Ran Xiaoan is indifferent, but he also believes that he is benevolent. This is not contradictory.

"Ran Xiaole will sooner or later notice that you are wasting your energy like this."

"It's only a matter of time." Ran Xiaoan took a sip of cool well water, "Brother will understand me."

Fang Jin smiled wryly, "Where is the Xiangge that day? Once the enchantment disappears, wouldn't Duan Yang be able to enter Tianxiang Pavilion from Anlemen?"

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold."

"Will you protect it too?"

"Don't worry, someone will take care of it."

Fang Jin was startled, "Who are you talking about?"

"Ask knowingly." Ran Xiaoan touched the bowl with him, and smiled, "The enchantment must be maintained by spiritual power. For so many years, Tianxiang Pavilion is immortal, like a steel plate. Who do you think is helping you?"

"Why doesn't she come to see me?"

"I don't know about that." Ran Xiaoan rarely reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Fang Jin, I've grown up, and you have grown up too, Fang Tong... probably doesn't want to worry about anything anymore. .”

"Are you concerned...is it bitter?"

Ran Xiaole came out with the food, Ran Xiaoan saw him smiling happily to herself, her face was flushed red, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the cuff of her wedding dress, waved to them, and told him to wait a moment, there is another one The dishes were ready, and then got into the kitchen again.

"There is a response, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." Ran Xiaoan replied with the utmost tenderness.

"I'll answer her."

"The person she is waiting for is not you, let alone me."

Fang Jin sighed helplessly. In 32 years, he had already accepted this reality.Whether it's the Fang family or the Duan family, people with gold beads are too stubborn, too extreme, and too loyal.A person's love can only be fully dedicated to one person.When you are generous, you pour your money out, and when you are stingy, you don't even bother to give a little bit of nostalgia.

His eyes drifted to the scarecrow who had been smiling all the time, and he asked softly, "Why do they always laugh?"

"Because I can't laugh."

Ran Xiaoan stood up, "I have to accompany him, why don't you go to your little fat man?"

"Sit a while longer."

"what ever."

Ran Xiaoan stopped talking and walked towards the kitchen alone.
