Originally, Zhan Zhao saw that Qin Tong had made up his mind and refused to rest, so he thought of coaxing her, at least telling her to sleep for a while.However, Qin Tong blushed, and he immediately felt a little uncomfortable. He let go of Qin Tong and said, "I mean, if you suffer like this, your muscles and bones will not be able to bear it after a long time."

"Oh." Qin Tong couldn't tell what it was like, lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.

When she was young, she was indeed close to Zhan Zhao, but as she got older, she first alienated Zhan Zhao, and the two were no longer as close as ever.Just now Zhan Zhao behaved like that, Qin Tong thought it was a few years since he had seen him.

The two were relatively speechless, and it took Qin Tong a while to ask, "Where do you live now?"

"It's also in the inner city. It's not far from Feng's mansion. It's more convenient to go tomorrow." Seeing Qin Tong's question, Zhan Zhao said with a smile, "There's no one to accompany you in this inn. It's inconvenient for you to be alone. Now Going back with me can be regarded as a recognition, and if you come to the capital in the future, you can go directly to find me."

Qin Tong nodded slowly, talking so softly, she suddenly felt sleepy again, Zhan Zhao hurriedly dragged Qin Tong out of the inn.

At this moment, it's already an ugly match, Zhan Zhao thought, if only relying on Qin Tong's foot strength, I'm afraid it will be dawn when he reaches the place.So he complained loudly, lifted Qin Tong with one hand, and flew into the room with a single step.Qin Tong was drowsy, and hadn't listened to most of what Zhan Zhao said to her just now, but now he was picked up by Zhan Zhao, and she hugged Zhan Zhao's arm tightly in shock.

Zhan Zhao chuckled lightly, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon." As he spoke, he tapped his feet and flew across the roof ridges.Qin Tong only felt that his body was soaring into the air, as if flying through the clouds and riding the fog. At first, he was a little dazzled, but later he felt that riding against the wind like this was really enjoyable.In this way, the two of them came to a small house in a short while.

Qin Tong was a little dazed when Zhan Zhao put her down, but when she looked up, she saw the house in front of her that was quietly dormant in the night.

This house is not imposing, it looks a bit quaint under the faint moonlight.Next to the stone pier at the door, there is still a small light yellow flower blooming, swaying gently in the night wind.However, Qin Tong fell in love with this house at first sight, perhaps because she was very sleepy, she blurted out without thinking: "This place is good, if I want to find a place to live in the future, I will look for it like this." As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tong felt that the words were a bit abrupt, bit his lips quickly, and his face slowly turned red.

"Why bother?" Zhan Zhao didn't hear anything wrong, and smiled lightly, "Whenever you want to come and live, then come here, just treat it as your own home."

Qin Tong was very upset when he heard this, but he couldn't help thinking: You will marry a wife and start a family sooner or later, if I still come to the door every other day, wouldn't it be annoying?It's just that she didn't ask these words, but after all the joy in her heart gradually dissipated, she was afraid that Zhan Zhao would see the clue, so she gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother Xiongfei, I'm so sleepy."

Zhan Zhao hastily stepped forward to call the door, he is usually busy with official duties and often rests at Baogong's place, so apart from an old man who is the gatekeeper, even he himself rarely enters the house.At this moment, the door was called at midnight, and the old man stood up with his clothes on. He opened the door and wondered, "Which disturbing dream in the middle of the night..." When he looked up, he was meeting Zhan Zhao, who knew the owner of the house. , hastily came out to greet him and said, "Master Zhan, you came back and didn't say a word. My old man is deaf and told you to wait outside for a long time."

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, and asked as he entered the door: "But there is still room to live, my friend also wants to rest here for a night."

"Yo, it's a coincidence." The old man held the lantern in one hand, and patted his thigh with the other, "The few guest rooms were cleaned up by my mother Zhang before, and the bedding has never been dried. Look..." He said looking Look at Zhan Zhao's expression.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhan Zhao simply said, "There's no need to bother, we'll just sleep in the same room." Hearing this, the old man beamed with joy, but Qin Tong shivered suddenly, scaring away the sleepy bugs.

Although she and Zhan Zhao lived in the same room, firstly they were still young, and secondly they slept in separate beds.It can be heard that Zhan Zhao just meant that he wanted to squeeze with her and spend the night?Qin Tong couldn't help feeling a little regretful that he shouldn't have rushed to Zhan Zhao's house.But for a while, she couldn't find any excuses, so she could only follow Zhan Zhao into the house dawdlingly.

The old man lit the oil lamp on the table and brought some hot water, then retired to sleep without mentioning it.Zhan Zhao scrubbed it hastily, seeing that Qin Tong was still standing at the door like a clay sculpture and wood carving, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Aren't you so sleepy, what are you still doing?"

Qin Tong stepped forward slowly, washed his face indiscriminately, his heart was in a mess, he hesitated and asked Zhan Zhao: "Brother Xiongfei, how many beds... are there in your room?"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'm a small family, and there's only room for a bed in the house. Why, do you despise my humble house?"

"No," Qin Tong said with a bitter face, "my little brother doesn't sleep well, I'm afraid he will fall asleep in the middle of the night and bump into brother Xiongfei."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing and said: "What's the matter, I learned skills from my martial arts master when I was young, and the brothers and sisters crowded together on a big bunk. They talked in their sleep, grinded their teeth, snored in the middle of the night, and there were nocturnal wanderers. How did you hit me?"

"If that's the case, then I'll accuse you first." Qin Tong knew that he was doomed, so she didn't reject it in her heart. She wiped her hands and face carefully before going to bed with Zhan Zhao.

After covering the quilt, Zhan Zhao raised his hand and flicked his finger at the oil lamp on the table. With a sound of "chi", the dancing flames were immediately extinguished by Qi Jin, and the room was suddenly dark.Qin Tong praised, and said with a smile: "This is convenient, and you don't have to worry about going to bed after blowing out the lights."

"That's not it," Zhan Zhao joked, "It's still beneficial to learn some martial arts."

Qin Tong didn't realize what was going on at first, but now it was pitch black, and Zhan Zhao's voice sounded from nearby.He was a vigorous young man again, with their heads touching their heads and arms touching their arms, Qin Tong could feel the heat emanating from his body through his clothes.She couldn't help shrinking back, and began to regret that she had been impulsively lying on the same bed with Zhan Zhao.

At that time, men and women were fighting against each other, and Qin Tong's move was actually audacious and shocking.It's just that she didn't learn women's precepts since she was a child, and she often regarded herself as a man, which is different from ordinary girls in this respect.If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have died to prove his innocence.

However, now that he was sharing the bed with Zhan Zhao, Qin Tong also realized that he had gone too far.She held her breath and concentrated, not daring to move, the room was silent, only the sound of Zhan Zhao's long breath rang softly in her ears.Qin Tong couldn't help but think wildly, if Zhan Zhao knew that he was a daughter's family in the future, would he think he was frivolous and dissolute?The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was very possible, and she became more determined. Even if she never saw Zhan Zhao again in this life after getting married, she still couldn't let him know that she was not a man.

Qin Tong's mind was in turmoil, and he thought for a moment that he didn't know who he would marry in the future, and then he would be even closer to him than Zhan Zhao.As soon as this thought came to her, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't help frowning tightly.

"Go to sleep," Zhan Zhao suddenly said in a low voice, his voice already a little sleepy, "Stop thinking about it, Fifth Brother Bai will be fine."

Qin Tong was taken aback, and blurted out, "How do you know I'm not asleep yet?" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao suddenly put his hand on her eyebrows, and the warm breath between his fingers brushed gently, causing him to be vague. He replied: "You opened your eyes, aren't you awake?" As he spoke, his voice became lower and his breath became heavier. After all, he was a young man, he had to get enough sleep at night, and now he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Qin Tong didn't dare to move, Zhan Zhao's hand was still on her face, and then slowly slid down to her cheek again.She didn't dare to breathe hard, for fear of disturbing Zhan Zhao.

I don't know how long it took, but the eyes have adapted to the darkness in the room.Qin Tong didn't dare to turn his head, so he rolled his eyes to look at the room.Different from her bedroom at home, this place is indeed a bit shabby, but it is extremely clean and tidy.Her gaze swept over the bed curtain, whether it was indigo or brown, and then landed on the window pane covered with white paper.

Gradually, Qin Tong, who had originally made up his mind to stay up all night, couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, as if he wanted to open his eyes, but finally fell asleep.

In the dream, Qin Tong returned to Xu's house in a daze.There are shadows in front of my eyes, including the doctor Xu Ling who died before they could meet, his concubine, and the servant girl who likes to frown and pout her lips.Qin Tong wanted to grab Xu Ling and ask him who killed him, but suddenly a child rushed forward and bit her hand.

The strange thing was that it didn't hurt at all. Qin Tong pulled back his hand forcefully, and when he looked up, he saw that all the people before him had disappeared.However, Qinglian stood side by side with Bai Yutang, Bai Yutang had a gentle smile on his face, he lowered his head and said something to Qinglian, although Qinglian's face was calm, there was also a look of joy in his eyes.She lowered her head and stroked her belly, muttering something.

Qin Tong blankly recognized her mouth shape, but saw the words "take away the child", and trembled in fright.

In a trance again, the surroundings are surrounded by thick night, and Zhan Zhao has already turned into the window.Qin Tong was stunned for two seconds before he remembered that they were visiting Xu's house at night.She supported the window sill with one hand, and suddenly fixed her gaze.

On the window sill, there were a few bloodstains.Qin Tong paused, staring at the bloodstains.

The evening wind walks by, as if turning back three times at a step, so slow and lazy.Qin Tong stared blankly at the few drops of blood, tilted his head slightly, and when he changed the angle, he saw a plum blossom.

Dusty memories came to my mind quietly, it was a midsummer evening, a little stuffy.She was immersed in her homework among a pile of case files, and suddenly, a strange case attracted her attention.

——Blood Plum Blossom.
