soul guide

In the harsh winter, with snow and wind, almost no one in Yizhou went out. They all hid in their houses and warmed up the cold. Only the man who sold cakes still carried his burden to sell in order to earn enough money to buy new year's goods in the cold winter months.

A series of messy footprints of different shades suddenly appeared in the snow, followed by a few gasps. The man took a closer look, and found that the little blind man next door ran out of the house while his brother was not paying attention, and couldn't go home after wandering outside.

Although the man had little contact with their family, he was a warm-hearted man after all. He opened his mouth full of snow and shouted, "Xiaoxi, where is your brother? Why did you come out again? Don't be playful, go home quickly." !"

The boy named Xiaoxi ran faster when he heard his cry, and murmured while running: "No, I don't want to go home, that's not my house, there are ghosts inside, there are ghosts..."

Seeing the man's sadness and helplessness from the back of him stumbling away, he secretly sighed that this young man in his prime should have a bright future and a bright future, but unexpectedly, the unexpected happened and made this well-behaved boy go crazy , and blinded, she is no longer as smart, lively and cute as before.

Just as he was sighing, the man wanted to go to his house to ask his brother to pick him up, but when he turned his head, he almost ran into someone, and after saying sorry a few times, he suddenly looked up, wasn't this person the poor boy's brother? ?What a coincidence, I was able to see him going out today.

The young man was tall and tall, he looked like a martial artist, but he had an elegant appearance, elegant demeanor, gentle and elegant, dressed in commoner clothes, he was a little more extraordinary than a nobleman, but there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night, He had only met this person a few times, he was serious, cold as ice, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't know what he was worried about.

Out of politeness, the man asked Xu Yan: "Did Brother Li ever see my younger brother?"

The voice was very soft, and it made people's backs feel cold for no reason. The sound of the howling wind could be heard very clearly. For some reason, the man shivered unconsciously when he saw him. He knew very little about this man. I only know that they moved from far away a few years ago. The two brothers, who were not used to interacting with people, rarely went out after his younger brother's unfortunate accident. The door of the house was closed all day long. Not to mention reciprocating courtesy with neighbors, if it wasn't for someone delivering rice and vegetables in front of his house at dawn, it would almost make people wonder if there were people living in that house.

He stretched out his trembling fingers and looked over there, and said, "Go, go there."

"Thank you!"

Shen leaned on the railing and walked quickly in the direction he was pointing, and after a quick walk, he saw Xiaoxi shivering and covered in snow in the corner.

The little blind man was like a little puppy that no one wanted, his face was full of panic, when he heard someone coming, he quickly buried his head in his arms, only to stand up in a flash, scratching the wooden stick indiscriminately, trying to escape quickly.

Facing him, Shen Pinglan always had a smile on his face, propped the umbrella on top of his head, and said softly: "Xiaoxi, follow brother home."

"no, do not want!"

Xiaoxi shook her head, raised her legs to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by someone's wrist, turned around and fell firmly into his arms, Shen leaned on the railing and hugged him who was still fluttering tightly, "Don't make trouble!"

Xiaoxi raised her head pitifully, looked at him with those big empty eyes, and begged, "Please, brother, I don't want to go home, don't..."

Shen Pinglan's heart softened, he didn't stop, and dragged him into the room, but his small arms and legs were very strong, and he tightly grabbed the door button and refused to leave.He always has a solution for the cheating little brother, he said softly: "Don't you want to be with brother, Xiao Xi?"

This trick was very useful, Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "Yes, I want to be with my brother!" He took Shen Pinglan's hand and held it tightly, fearing that he would not be the same, followed behind him slowly, with an anxious expression on his face Frightened again, she cowardly whispered: "But, but—"

"But what?" Shen leaned on the railing and slowly led him into the door, wrapped his arms around him, and leaned into his ear and asked, "Is there something Xiaoxi is hiding from brother?"

The door at the back slammed shut and was fastened firmly. Xiaoxi shook her body and looked around helplessly, trying to escape from his grasp, screaming: "Yes, there is a ghost!"

"How can there be a ghost?!" Shen Pinglan has a headache, and has not closed his eyes to rest since last night, feeling very irritable, pinching his chin and sternly saying: "Where are ghosts in this world?"

Xiaoxi was stunned by this scolding question, he couldn't believe that his elder brother who always spoke softly to him would talk to him like this, he was frightened, cried out loudly, threw away the stick and drilled Wept bitterly in his arms.

Shen Pinglan realized his gaffe, he had never yelled at him, Xiaoxi was timid, even if he couldn't see his unfriendly appearance, it still bluffed people, he sighed, wiped the side of Xiaoxi's eyes Tears, softly coaxed: "Xiao Xi, be good baby, my brother's little heart, it's my brother's fault, don't cry, don't cry..."

"Brother, brother, I'm so scared!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Shen leaned on the rail and patted his back, fed him the soup that had already cooled down by the side, and coaxed: "Hey, drink the medicine first."

He needs to drink medicine again. He is obviously not sick, so why give him medicine!Smelling the familiar bitter taste since childhood, Xiaoxi was not happy, and began to struggle, protesting: "I won't drink, I won't drink!"

It was about hair, skin and health, how could Shen Pinglan get used to him, grabbed his chin vigorously, and poured the medicine into his mouth.

"Aw—" Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue in pain, trying to spit out the medicine juice, but Shen Pinglan grabbed his cheeks quickly, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, and the little man was so slow. Slowly lower your body and stop messing around.Shen Pinglan caressed his brows and eyes lovingly, looked at him carefully for a while, and then kissed him carefully and densely.

Cuddling him in his arms, his chest was wet with tears, the sobbing and hiccupping little man fell asleep, Shen leaned on the railing and patted his back to make sure he fell asleep peacefully, and took off his clothes. Outer shirt, hug him to the bed and twist the quilt.

He was obviously frightened by the old days. He snored a little and still held Shen Pinglan's hand and refused to let go. Shen Pinglan lovingly kissed him on the forehead, pulled his hand away forcefully, and looked at him several times reluctantly. , lifted his foot out the door.

There is a spare hut in the backyard, which is locked with a big lock all the year round, and no one approaches during the day, so Shen leans on the railing and goes straight there. Tables with spiritual tablets and sacrifices, and the room is full of spells and spirit-calling banners. The atmosphere is strange and terrifying.Shen Pinglan had long been used to this situation, closed the door, lit incense with a flint, looked around, and said, "Still coming out?"

After saying that, there was a sudden breeze in the empty room, the paper on the floor was flapping non-stop, the dark hut was lit up, and a shadow appeared crookedly on the ground.

"You finally came to see me?"

The crisp voice was exactly the same as that of the boy just now. Shen Pinglan felt a little helpless, and wanted to pull out the person hiding in the darkness, but he was just a phantom. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Why did you scare him again?"

Hearing the questioning tone, the boy was very unconvinced, his pale face pulled down in an instant, he stared at him with familiar eyes, snorted disdainfully, put his hands on his hips and said sourly: "Do you feel distressed?"

"..."

Shen leaned on the railing and said nothing, the boy thought for a while, then suddenly became angry, pacing back and forth with a ferocious face, scratching his ears and cheeks, and shouted: "I am your real brother! Why don't you help him and not me?"

"Xiao Xi!" Shen Pinglan looked at him who was becoming more and more violent, feeling flustered, afraid that he would go crazy and do something else, and said, "Why do you say such things to hurt brother?"

When the man heard it, he turned back and floated in front of him, gnashing his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to eat people, "What are you doing for him?"

"Where did this come from?"

He grunted a few times, and roared: "My brother, my clothes, my fan, his bastard, I won't allow him to touch him!"

"He lost his eyes, isn't it rare enough?" Shen Pinglan felt his heart throbbing when he thought of Xiaoxi being robbed of his eyes by the person in front of him. Seeing the innocent Xiaoxi being so poisoned by him who gradually lost his heart, and no matter how partial to him, he couldn't help but feel chilling. How could his once meek and kind brother Become so ruthless.

That person looked like a fierce ghost in the endless hell, and screamed: "Not enough! I want him to die!"

The tone of cursing people to die lost a little of the innocence and cuteness of the past, and Shen Pinglan looked at him blankly, "If he dies, everything we have done these years will be in vain!"

"I don't care, I don't want to stay in this ghost place, I want to go out, I want my brother to coax me to sleep, I want my brother to cook for me, I don't want to hide in this ghost place every day without people or ghosts!"

Shen Pinglan reminded him coldly, "You are already dead!"

As soon as the words fell, the noisy room was instantly quiet. The two looked at each other silently. Shen Pinglan's dark eyes contained too much heartache for his brother's increasingly crazy appearance. Xiao Xi's eyes slowly turned red, her cold and thin body was weak Leaning against his warm chest, he felt even more wronged immediately. He couldn't shed tears, and when he was sad, his face became even paler and colorless. He opened his mouth, and his voice was like an old man, "I have nothing left, only brother, you Can't do without me..."

Shen Pinglan used to love to pinch his face most, but now when he raises his hand, what he touches is a disembodied ghost, and even touching him becomes a luxury at any time.

"How could my brother not want you?"

He rolled his eyes, hung on him, and said coquettishly: "But I don't want to stay here!"

"You can bear it a little longer, huh?"

Xiao Xi reluctantly nodded, and bargained with him in a low voice, "You take down these talismans, and I'll just stop making trouble!"

If in the past, Shen Pinglan agreed to him without saying a word, but now he dare not believe him anymore. A few days ago, seeing how pitifully he didn't put a spell on the house and told him to sneak out, he took advantage of his absence, He pushed Xiaoxi, who was already blind, into the lake on the spot. If he hadn't arrived in time, the poor child would have become his prey long ago.

Shen Pinglan patiently reasoned with him, "For more than ten years, we have been hiding in Tibet and trying to survive. Don't forget. In the last six months, if you can't control yourself and let him have any accidents, brother I won't care about you anymore!"

Xiao Xi looked at him in disbelief, Shen Pinglan had a serious face, he didn't look like he was joking with him in the past, his face was full of resignation, and after a moment of fighting between heaven and man, he finally showed weakness and said: "Okay, I won't touch your care again. That's the liver."
