A long Milky Way hangs from east to west in the sky, and the shining stars shine like the lights of this street.

I don't know if it's the stars of the Milky Way that shine on the earth, or the lights of the world that illuminate the stars in the sky.

All this has nothing to do with Gongsun Jian, Gongsun Jian and his younger brother have nothing, and all they have now is boundless cold and hunger.

Gongsun Jian promised his younger brother that he must find food for his younger brother this time, because his younger brother was already on the verge of life and death from hunger and cold.

Gongsun Jian had already walked a long way on the cold streets in the middle of the night, he was wandering around like a lonely ghost, and he was walking aimlessly like a wild dog.

Where can I find a bowl of hot noodle soup or a nest to feed my hungry brother?

Gongsun Jian didn't have any extravagant hopes for a bowl of hot noodle soup or wowotou, and now he could find some leftovers or discarded vegetable leaves that others had eaten. You can satisfy your hunger anyway, as long as you don't let your brother starve to death on the streets.

Even if you can't find food, it's good to find a tattered clothes, and my brother is now under that corner of the house, and he doesn't know what it looks like to freeze.

How long can my brother survive? Will you be able to survive until he goes back?

Gongsun Jian was so anxious that he began to get irritable, he raised his hand and slapped himself, he hated himself for being useless, letting his younger brother struggle on the line of life and death from hunger and cold.

Gongsun Jian walked forward aimlessly, and suddenly a bright light shone through, which made him feel a little dazzled, and he looked up to see that there was a large mansion in front of him, which was a large family.

Gongsun Jian thought that there must be a lot of delicious food in this big family's house, and an evil thought suddenly sprung up in his heart......

……

"Brother Gongsun, what are you thinking?"

Gu Ling'er's words interrupted Gongsun Jian's memories again, and he smiled and replied, "I didn't think about anything, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Gu Linger stretched her waist and said, "I can't sleep for a while, you tell me what you thought of just now?" ”

"I really didn't think about anything!" Gongsun Jian said perfunctorily.

"You lied, I saw you crying." Gu Linger's voice was soft, and her tone seemed to be full of sympathy and curiosity.

After listening to Gu Linger's words, Gongsun Jian realized that there was a trace of coldness on his cheeks, and it turned out that two tears were flowing down the corners of his eyes at some point.

Gongsun Jian hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his face, and pretended to rub his eyes with his hand, looking a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

"It seems like dust got into my eyes just now, and I really didn't think about anything."

For more than ten years, Gongsun Jian has always hidden that unforgettable past in the depths of his heart, and has never told outsiders.

He didn't want outsiders to know that he had a past that was unbearable and full of regret, but in the dead of night, that past always came back to his mind involuntarily. Whenever I think of that past, tears always flow uncontrollably.

"Got dust in your eyes? Do you want me to get a wet cloth for you to wipe it on? ”

Gu Ling'er still asked softly as he did just now, he actually knew that Gongsun Jian didn't have any dust in his eyes at all, this was just prevaricating him.

Since Gongsun Jian didn't want to say anything to him, he couldn't ask any more questions, and saying a little caring words along his lines should be able to divert Gongsun Jian's thoughts and emotions.

"No, thank you, you go to bed quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow morning, after this inn we have to walk hundreds of miles of uninhabited deep mountains and old forests."

"Hmm."

Gu Linger nodded at Gongsun Jian, he promised with his mouth, but his eyes were secretly looking at Gongsun Jian.

A tung oil lamp was lit in the middle of the night, and a few small lamps had been lit, and the light was much dimmer than just now. Gu Ling'er slept with his back to the light, so now Gongsun Jian couldn't see his eyes clearly, so Gu Ling'er took this opportunity to carefully look at the man sitting opposite him.

During the day, he felt that Gongsun Jian was very kind-hearted, and he was handsome, so he had a good impression of him. This time I went out alone, and if I could meet such a friend, it would be a good thing to take care of each other on the road.

But in the daytime, in full view of everyone, Gu Ling'er didn't dare to look at Gongsun Jian as carefully as she did now, and besides, staring at a person would be rude.

Sitting facing each other now, the dim light gave Gu Linger a wonderful opportunity to look at him carefully and boldly.

Gu Linger found that the man sitting opposite him had exquisite facial features that made people fascinated by it. The angular silhouette is full of masculine charm.

With intuition, Gu Linger felt that Gongsun Jian was the kind of person with good character who could be friends, although he had only met him today, but through a short contact, Gu Linger had a sense of déjà vu with Gongsun Jian.

"There are outsiders in front of me, and my heart is like an old friend." Thinking of this, Gu Linger silently recited in her heart, but she didn't want to pronounce the voice.

But his voice was very small, like a sleeping man muttering in a dream, and Gongsun Jian didn't hear it clearly.

"Are you talking to me?"

Gongsun Jian asked softly, he didn't know if Gu Ling'er was talking in a dream, if he was talking in a dream, then he would fall asleep too quickly, would he fall asleep when he said he was asleep?

Gu Ling'er snorted and laughed, as if he felt amused by the words he had just muttered to himself, because he was obviously silently reciting in his heart just now, why did he make a sound.

"I was just talking to myself." Gu Linger laughed.

Gongsun Jian also smiled: "I thought you were talking in a dream." ”

"Brother Gongsun, do you think our acquaintance is not a coincidence? It felt like a dream. Gu Linger suddenly said this.

Gongsun Jian replied: "It's not a coincidence, isn't a person's life a process of knowing and forgetting?" ”

Gu Linger nodded, expressing her agreement with Gongsun Jian's words, and said, "Having said that, being able to meet Brother Gongsun here can be regarded as a kind of fate, right?" The Buddha said that 500 times of looking back in the past life can be exchanged for a rub of shoulders in this life, do you say that we are destined? ”

"Ha ......"

Gongsun Jian laughed when he heard this: "Brother Ling'er's words are inappropriate, that refers to the destined person between men and women, how can the two of us men use this to explain?" ”

Gu Linger also giggled, and said: "That's, that's, brother, I am only a shallow learner, and I don't speak with the right mouth, which makes Brother Gongsun laugh." ”

The two laughed for a while, and chatted for a while, and after about an hour, Gu Linger's words gradually became less, and he yawned twice, and since he fell asleep against the head of the bed.

Gongsun Jian also felt very sleepy, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

In a hazy moment, Gongsun Jian seemed to hear a slight rustling sound outside the door, like the sound of a mouse walking by in the middle of the night. Gongsun Jian is an extremely cautious and vigilant person, which may have something to do with his profession.

Gongsun Jian pricked up his ears and listened carefully, this slight sound was not the sound of a mouse walking on the floor, could it be that someone outside the door could not be?

Who will be outside in the middle of the night? And stayed outside the door of Gongsun Jian's room, if the guests in the inn got up in the middle of the night to relieve themselves, it must be the sound of knocking footsteps.

Gongsun Jian immediately smelled a strange feeling, he turned over and got out of bed, picked up the sword placed at the head of the bed, and jumped to the door with two steps of light skills with bare feet.

Gongsun Jian listened carefully to the movement outside the door through the door, but at this moment, there was suddenly no sound, as if there was no one outside the door at all.

Gongsun Jian held the sword in one hand and quickly opened the door with the other......

There were lanterns hanging in the corridor, and there was nothing outside the door, Gongsun Jian leaned out and glanced at both sides of the corridor, and suddenly found that at a corner at the end of the corridor, a figure disappeared in a flash.

Gongsun Jian wanted to catch up to see who it was, but after thinking about it, he didn't chase after him.

The length and width of the room were no more than two zhang, from the time Gongsun Jian heard the sound to the time he flew to the door, it was only a short moment, even if the person outside the door noticed it and turned away, but in such a short time, the person walked quickly through a long corridor. This shows that the person who came is not incompetent, and it is impossible to complete such a speed without excellent light skills.

The people who were sneaking outside the door just now didn't matter what their purpose was, but Gongsun Jian knew very well that they were being targeted.

With Gongsun Jian's martial arts and light skills, if you chase the past to find out, you may be able to catch up with that person, but what if you catch up? A big fight, take that person down and ask?

Obviously, there is no evidence, even if you take down that person, you can't ask anything, how can someone who comes prepared, let you easily get the answer you want.

Gongsun Jian returned to the room lightly, quietly closed the door, and looked back at Gu Ling'er who was sleeping soundly on the head of the bed. Gu Linger tilted her head and slept soundly, it was obvious that what had just happened did not alarm him.

Gongsun Jian shook his head with a smile, thinking that although Gu Linger's martial arts were very good, he was still slightly inferior to his Gongsun Jian in terms of precautions and attention to his own safety.

It's no wonder, after all, Gu Ling'er, who is too young and has not been deeply involved in the world, how much can he know about the sinister rivers and lakes?

The tung oil lamp in the room flickered faintly and seemed to be about to be extinguished, like an old man who was about to finish his life's journey.

Even the faint moonlight on the balcony moved away, making the room even darker.

Gongsun Jian didn't know what time it was, he walked to the balcony and looked up at the sky. The half-moon hanging in the sky seems to be drowned in the stars, and it is estimated that it is almost four days now.

Gongsun Jian turned around and walked back to the room, went to the table and picked out the lights on the tung oil wick to make the room brighter.

Gu Linger still slept deeply with his head tilted, it seemed that he must have been tired from the journey for days, but he didn't seem to be very comfortable sleeping like this, and he was snoring slightly at the moment.

Gongsun Jian stretched his waist, tiredness came up again, and he was about to go to bed, but it seemed a little inappropriate to see Gu Ling'er falling asleep like this. Even the quilt is only covered below the waist, which is not good if you catch a cold and get caught by the cold.

Gongsun Jian bent down and pulled the quilt up and helped him cover it. Gu Linger snorted twice in her dream and didn't wake up, but she moved her body down and lay down.

Gu Linger in her sleep looked extremely charming, and a few strands of hair hung down in front of her forehead, adding a little more charming. If he is seen by outsiders like this, it is estimated that everyone will believe him if he is a girl.

Since Gongsun Jian was inexplicably a little moved, but he immediately came to his senses, feeling disgusted for his dirty thoughts, the Gu Linger in front of him was a man, how could he Gongsun Jian also have a heart of admiration for a man?

Suddenly, Gongsun Jian found that Gu Linger had a black mole on his neck, which made him feel very surprised, because Gongsun Jian remembered that his younger brother also had the same black mole on his neck, but he couldn't remember the location clearly.

I remember that my younger brother, like Gu Linger, is also a boy and a girl, with a thin and thin body, and many people mistakenly think that he is a girl.
