【Xue Xiao】Prisoner in the deserted city

Xiao Xingchen felt the boy's warm chest, the arms around him, and his slight breathing.

Xiao Xingchen stood there without moving, and after a while he asked, "Do you want to go out?"

Even if you tell him to lie down and rest in bed, these days he often gets out of bed to walk around or just sneak out to play.What's more, his injury is almost healed, and running more will help his body recover.

Xue Yang said, "Okay, you still know me well and know that I can't be idle."

Xiao Xingchen said, "Bring A-Qing and Xiao Ning."

Xue Yang followed suit and said, "Okay."

At the end of the new year, the streets are still not very lively. Yicheng, a small and remote town, seems to be always deserted. It has just experienced a plague, and few people have the intention to do something tricky.But there is the most simple kind of fireworks here. Those small shops and stalls that are not very high-end are not closed in the middle of winter, and people are still open to make a living.The weather is cold, and white steam smoke comes out from the cauldron on the stand, curling around.

There was really nothing to visit, but Xue Yang surprisingly didn't feel bored.He walked beside Xiao Xingchen, this time he didn't hold his hand, and he didn't get tired of him like before.They walk side by side.

He didn't move, and Xiao Xingchen didn't move even more, but it didn't matter, Xue Yang only glanced to the side from time to time, and felt very happy to see this person walking with him.

Xue Yang casually picked up an apple from the stall, wiped it, put it in his mouth and began to bite.

The stall owner wondered whether it was a hooligan or a hooligan, but after all, he had saved his life before, so hey, don't worry about it, just eat what you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't have enough.

A-Qing didn't want to walk with him, more precisely, she didn't know what expression to face him with, and felt awkward no matter what, so she kept pulling Xiao Ning to walk on the other side of Xiao Xingchen.Seeing Xue Yang casually taking other people's things, he curled his lips, thinking that he had done a lot of this kind of thing when he was on the streets, but after following Xiao Xingchen for a few years, she couldn't do it anymore, but Xue Yang was still stubborn. Change, it really is hateful, I still hate him.

But in order not to alarm Xiao Xingchen, he held back his silence and pulled Xiao Ning towards him, preventing him from seeing Xue Yang's actions.

Xue Yang said, "A-Qing, why are you blocking the little one so hard?"

A-Qing snorted and said, "In order not to let her go bad."

Xue Yang smiled and said, "What do you know? Before, these people were rushing to give me food. They couldn't finish it. What's wrong with me taking one now?"

A-Qing felt a little heck in her heart, Xiao Ning watched her second father and sister A-Qing arguing, she just thought it was funny, so she started giggling.

Xiao Xingchen asked, "What are you talking about? Are you going to the hospital soon?"

Xiao Ning looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully: "That's right in front!"

It seems that the little girl likes this place very much, so she ran in first.Xiao Xingchen followed behind.

After entering the hall, Xue Yang felt that Xiao Xingchen's coming here should have nothing to do with him, so he stood far away, leaning on a pillar with his arms folded and waiting for them.He saw that Xiao Xingchen was chatting with the attending doctor, Dr. Zhang, and it was probably discussing something.

He finished eating the apple, threw the core back casually, and then watched Xiao Xingchen call A-Qing and Xiao Ning to Dr. Zhu, and said some more words. Dr. Zhu nodded repeatedly and bowed his hands to Xiao Xingchen. , Xiao Xingchen returned.

He had settled Xiao Ning in this clinic before, but now he came here again, as if to give him some advice.

Coming out of the hospital, the gluttonous Xiao Ning ran to Xiao Xingchen with his calves, shook his hand and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, I just talked a lot, Xiao Ning is hungry, when are we going to eat?" Are you eating?"

Xiao Xingchen said: "Are you hungry so soon? Then, how about we go to the restaurant in front? I remember one is pretty good."

A-Qing said, "Master Daoist, do you still have any money?"

Xiao Xingchen said in a little embarrassment, "This... seems to be a little bit."

Xiao Xingchen was helpless. He originally wanted to take them out to the hospital for some business, but the street was deserted, there was nothing to do, and it was still very cold. Even the little girl's hunger problem couldn't be solved well.

Xue Yang said: "What kind of restaurant do you eat? It's so unpalatable. Let's buy some food and cook at home, how about it?"

Xiao Xingchen asked Xiao Ning: "Can you bear it? Why don't you buy two steamed buns first?"

As soon as Xiao Ning heard that her second father was going to cook, those delicious memories immediately flooded back, and she licked her mouth and said cheerfully: "Yes! Then let's go home, let's go home!"

In the middle of winter months, it's cold outside but warm inside.A-Qing set up the stove and lit the fire, and she and Xiao Ning stayed warm in the room.Taking a peek outside, I saw Daoist Chang and Xue Yang busy in front of the platform.

It was obviously a very harmonious picture, but she suddenly felt sad.She didn't quite understand what was said in the clinic during the day, the literal meaning was clear, but she didn't know why the Taoist priest said that.

Maybe she also knows why, she is as sensitive as her, she just feels that the Taoist leader's state is like a person who is about to go on a long journey to explain his funeral, and he has to explain everything that is worrying and unfinished.

But she wasn't sure if that was the case, or rather, couldn't bear to think about it.

Even if Xiao Xingchen couldn't see it, he could still chop those radishes and vegetables very well. He put the finely chopped ingredients into a plate, and handed them over to Xue Yang to cook.Cutting one and doing the other, the two have lived together for so many years, and the cooperation is very tacit.

Seeing that there was meat on the plate, Xue Yang couldn't help but said, "Aren't you abstaining from meat?"

Xiao Xingchen said, "You can eat."

Xue Yang said: "That's right, but I hope you can eat it too. You are not in good health now, you should take more supplements. But, hey, forget it, you can do whatever you like."

While he was muttering about it, Xiao Xingchen just silently handed the tofu cut into small pieces to Xue Yang.He knew that Xue Yang was making that famous dried tofu dish, which was obviously the simplest ingredient, but after being cooked by him, it could make it very delicious.

Xue Yang is really clever and dexterous, as long as he thinks, there seems to be nothing he can't do well.

Xue Yang took it, his fingertips touched Xiao Xingchen's fingers, brushed past, and the wide cuffs of Taoist robes also brushed against his wrist.He poured the bean curd into the pot, wondering if it was because of too much water vapor, his eyes suddenly swelled a bit.

I didn't hear the sound of stir-frying for a long time, and after a while there was a sizzling sound in the oil pan.Xiao Xingchen couldn't help but said, "What's wrong with you? The food is going to be burnt."

Xue Yang woke up like a dream, and hurriedly took a spatula to rummage through it, but he didn't have time, tofu is such a delicate ingredient, he just lost his mind for a while, and the bottom was all mushy.

Xue Yang patted his head and said angrily, "No, I can't eat it, just pour it out."

As he said that, he was about to push those out and dump them, but Xiao Xingchen held down the back of his hand.

Xiao Xingchen said, "Don't waste it, I can eat it."

Xue Yang didn't even think about it and said, "You're sick, you can't eat enough."

Xiao Xingchen took the spatula in Xue Yang's hand, shoveled off the good tofu on it and put it into another pot, and went back and forth several times. Only a thin layer of inedible paste was left in this pot. The tofu fell off.

Xiao Xingchen said: "That's fine, but it seems that the tofu in that pot can't be fried, but it can be made into soup."

Xue Yang murmured, "I didn't expect you to be able to turn waste into treasure. I really can't compare to you in this regard."

Xiao Xingchen actually has a lot of tricks in his heart. If he hadn't encountered those fusions in his life, he would be quite a smart person.

Xue Yang said, "Xiao Xingchen..."

Xiao Xingchen said, "Well, what's wrong?"

Xue Yang said: "It's nothing, let's continue, the little one is yelling and hungry, it's really troublesome."

This moment does not mention the gloomy and gloomy, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong, at least at this moment, the Yizhuang is filled with fireworks and the fragrance of rice, coriander and vegetables, just like every day in those three years.But it's different again. No matter what is going on now, or what can't be done, at least, after the bloody truth, after all those entanglements that are entangled to death, they can still stand together and feel the pain side by side. This is the most insipid smell of fireworks.

Maybe that's enough, at least it's not a lie or a deceit, it's not a falsehood or an illusion.

Maybe once in this life is enough.

A-Qing and Xiao Ning had enough food and drink, and had already slept in another newly opened dormitory.

Late at night, the dew is heavy, and the drums are more leisurely.Xue Yang wrapped his arms around Xiao Xingchen's shoulders, holding him in his arms.

Xiao Xingchen held Xue Yang's forearm and remained silent for a while.He felt the boy behind him bury his head behind his neck, the weather was cold, but the boy's body was hot.

After eating, Xue Yangren was a little lethargic, his cheeks were reddish, Xiao Xingchen touched his forehead, he seemed to have a fever.But only a little bit, not serious, Xue Yang's physical fitness, if he doesn't care about it, he can fully recover in two or three days.

Xue Yang's body temperature has always been a little higher than that of others, and now he is even warmer.There is no sound around the body, this is an overly quiet night, it seems that no night has ever been so quiet, even the flames of the oil lamps and candles are still, standing upright and burning a little bit.

Xue Yang held Xiao Xingchen's hand, inserted four fingers between his fingers, put them together and placed them on his lips for a light kiss, from the fingertips along the knuckle fingers all the way to the back of the hand, touching them carefully, soft and tender The heat flowed into my heart little by little.Xiao Xingchen could only feel that every blood vessel on the back of his hand was throbbing.He stood up and gave Xue Yang some fever-reducing medicine for him to take. After taking it, Xiao Xingchen put the medicine back in the drawer, turned around, and was gently pushed against the wall.

Xiao Xingchen leaned his back against the wall, Xue Yang buried his head in Xiao Xingchen's neck, feeling the same warm body temperature.

He has always been nostalgic for this piece of warmth, but he will no longer worry about gains and losses, because now his body is flowing with his spiritual energy, and his spiritual veins have been repaired by him, giving him all the warmth, making his whole body All surrounded by warmth.

Xue Yang said in a deep voice, "Taoist..."

Xiao Xingchen felt Xue Yang's breath hit his neck lightly, and his lips were inseparable from the bare skin.Xue Yang rolled over him, and kissed his neck and cheeks, so carefully, as if he loved him very much.He was tired of Xiao Xingchen's body, supported his shoulders, and half pushed and half pulled him to lay him on his back on the bed.
