Usually Yan Cuo doesn't have anything to say to me, and usually he will turn his head and walk away after picking my fault, but he didn't have it today, he looked up and down at the clothes he was staring at, and suddenly said: "There are four close generals under Shangguan Yanmen, Chen Bing, Kong Liang, Xiang Zhou, and Zhu Jing." ”

I stared at him, why did he suddenly tell me this? These four people didn't know each other a few days ago, but they have met in the past two days, and Zhu Jing has also compared moves and light skills with him.

"Kong Zhou was originally a bookkeeper in Anzhou, and he was familiar with Anzhou's affairs."

"Anzhou?" I haven't reacted yet, why did I hear this name again?

"Even if he has been with Shangguan Yan for many years, there will be familiar colleagues in Anzhou, and it is not difficult to find someone." Yan Cuo turned around and left after saying this, for fear that I would see the next reaction.

I was stunned for a while, and then I suddenly laughed, Yan Cuo deliberately came to tell me this, did he want to borrow my hand to help Xia Xia inquire about the news of Anzhou? It seems that he can indeed hear it, and he actually heard my conversation with Xia Xia-

So, isn't that fire leaf the one he won in a light competition with Zhu Jing? Maybe he never had friends on the way to growing up, and he had never experienced the wrestling and fighting that boys should have, this was the first time he got a trophy with his own ability, and he was not good at words, and he left this to Xia Xia.

I laughed, although we have experienced hardships and thought that the night is endless and long, there will always be something soft and shining that can make our painful heart heal slowly, like a lamp that never goes out in the night, sometimes we may lose its light, only because the pain makes us close our eyes, or turn around, but it is always there, waiting to illuminate our hearts.

This night was extraordinarily quiet, as if everyone had gone to bed early to recuperate for tomorrow's thanksgiving feast.

But I couldn't sleep, and the dreams kept coming, and in the dreams Yunlan's gentle and kind face and vicious expression overlapped repeatedly, and finally she stood in front of me covered in blood, trying to squirm her lips and talk to me silently, and her expression was particularly hideous, as if she was desperately trying to break through some roar.

I couldn't hear it, and I didn't dare to discern the meaning of her lips at all, so I turned my head and ran hard, but I couldn't run far, and a pale and bone-like hand pulled the corner of my clothes tightly, it was the pale and gloomy Xipo Yunbo, he cried to me, and the tears that came out were red and sticky, and said, "Come on, be the fish in my pool......

The makeup is fierce, Yun Lan viciously stretched out her ten fingers and pounced on me, she wanted to choke my throat, and she wanted me to be a fish in her son's pool! I screamed in horror Daddy, Yunlan's expression suddenly became miserable and kind again, I couldn't understand the screaming words, she was sometimes crazy and sometimes normal, which made my dreams extra terrifying.

Yes! Let me go! Let me go!

I struggled and sat up.

Dream, a dream.

I wiped the cold sweat off my face, walked to the table with a dry mouth and poured a glass of water, it was still dark outside the window, it should be around the third watch, I gently pushed open a window crack, and the cold wind poured in like a knife cutting meat.

I turned my head to look at the red clothes on the hanger, which seemed to be stained with blood in the darkness. Recalling the crazy scene in the dream, Yunlan tried to open her mouth and wanted to say "Run......

My hand shook and I almost dropped the glass of water in my hand, and I shuddered, and was about to close the window, when I saw a white shadow flash in the courtyard.

Who is it?

My cold hair stood up—

But the golden bell hasn't rang, it shouldn't be someone who came in from outside, that figure feels like a woman, is it Xia Xia? Why is she not sleeping in the yard in the middle of the night?

I hurriedly found my clothes and put them on, since my eyes healed, Xia Xia has lit small lamps all over the corridor, and now there are more Yan Cuo in the house, his majestic and fierce appearance is more terrifying than the door god, I will not be so scared when I go out in the middle of the night, it's a big deal to scream - but his ears seem to be just short, whether he can hear it completely is still a problem. However, the golden bell has spirituality, it will protect me, if something happens, it will definitely sound loudly, and Song Lingjian next door will definitely come as soon as possible.

I kept reassuring myself and cheering myself up, ready to go out and see what was going on.

The door squeaked, obviously very light, but it was extremely far-reaching in the night.

The white figure was fluttering, dragging the long black hair in the corridor flashing, I squinted, according to the height and long hair, it should be Xia Xia.

I wrapped myself in a black bag and followed, turning the corridor, her white clothes lined with soft lights reflecting the peaceful colors, she crouched on the edge of the courtyard, her long hair draped behind her head like a hair, it felt a little strange.

I stood under the lamp and whispered: "I haven't slept in the middle of the night, what treasure are you hiding there?" ”

She was still squatting there, reaching out to pick up something on the ground, and the mud on a cold day would be particularly cold and hard, what was she picking up there with her bare hands?

I took a step forward, and although I knew that she was Xia Xia, this strange behavior still scared me: "Xia ...... Xia Xia, what are you doing? ”

Xia Xia didn't answer, she was picking up the soil seriously, and the sound of her nails digging into the cold and hard mud was harsh and abnormal, and my back was hairy, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look around, quiet and silent, extremely peaceful.

I swallowed my saliva and went in to see that this girl was digging a small pit, and there was a cloth bag beside her, which seemed to be some steamed buns and other things, and I could smell the faint fragrance of noodles when I got close.

"Xia Xia, what are you doing, what are you doing, and what are you doing hiding food?" I pulled a handful of Xia Xia-

Xia Xia turned her head sharply, and her long hair shook sharply, cutting my hands painfully.

"Ahh

Before I could scream, my mouth was covered!

Who's behind me?!

I felt my soul freeze and shatter with fear!

"Shhhh Yan Cuo's voice was low and fast.

I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, why did Yan Cuo come?

Yan Cuo let go of her hand, I gasped, trembling at Xia Xia's terrifying face, painted as white as a pink wall, thick black eyebrows and raised eyeliner, bright red lips covered her originally slightly curled small mouth without a trace, like a cursed grimace in the night!

If I hadn't seen her dressed like this before, I would have been mentally prepared, and when I saw such a face at first glance, I would have been scared away for half my life - this is the makeup of her previous night tour, and she was night swimming again?

"She-she's nocturnal again?" I trembled.

"You either go back or stop talking so much nonsense." Yan Coo glared at me, even though he was still so fierce, I felt solid and safe with him by my side.

I closed my mouth tightly and nodded, seeing that Xia Xia was only wearing a single coat, and there were only cloth socks under her feet.

I was about to untie my clothes and put them on her, but Yan Cuo pushed me away and draped the clothes in my hand over her.

It seems that Yan Cuo has been prepared for a long time.

The cold began to invade my clothes, my limbs were numb, and my face was so stiff that I couldn't open my mouth, Yan squatted on Xia Xia's side, silently helping her dig a pit together, digging as big as a rice bucket, Xia Xia put the cloth bag next to her in the pit, and began to pull the soil to bury it.

After burying the cloth bag, Xia Xia also patted the paved soil layer carefully, turned his head and took Yan Cuo's hand, pointed to the ground: "In this way, Tian'an Prefecture will not be hungry tomorrow or later." ”

My heart sank uncomfortably, it must have been a re-mention of Anzhou's matter today, which made Xia Xia worry too much and committed a night tour, they must have been like this often when they were young, hiding the food they begged to prevent starvation, these dark experiences have been hidden in the depths of her memory, no matter how hard I try, I can't erase them.

Xia Xia tilted her head and smiled at Yan Cuo, her crimson mouth cracked, like a weird mask.

Yan Cuo didn't seem to care at all, and said softly, "It's time to rest, right?" ”

Xia Xia nodded, as if she had completed her mission, her body went limp, and she fell.

Yan Cuo hugged her steadily, sighed, picked her up horizontally, and walked to her room, her dark and strong body seemed to be able to support other people's world, isn't this the Yan Cuo that Ye Xin was looking forward to?

I followed, cautiously, for fear of making a noise that would make Yan Cuo angry.

Yan Cuo put Xia Xia on the bed, and there was already steaming warm water and a bowl on the table, and the yellow and sticky things in the bowl smelled like oil for cooking.

Even this is ready in the room, it seems that Xia Xia has been swimming for a while, Yan Cuo is really thoughtful, and even the clean cloth socks are ready.

He was very familiar with the cloth and dipped in oil, wiping the terrifying makeup for Xia Xia, and it was strange to say that the thick powder and heavy fat on her face were wiped clean at once, Yan Cuo wiped it repeatedly for a long time, and the eyebrows were rubbed many times because they were too thickly drawn, and the skin on that piece was slightly red.

Then he changed Xia Xia into new cloth socks, put away the dirty cloth socks, and then put away all the rouge gouache that Xia Xia put out on the table neatly-

Everything was well organized, as if it had been practiced many times.

I remembered that when Xia Xia first started his night tour, Yan Cuo often finished up for Xia Xia in the middle of the night in order to hide this fact, and it seems that he has already collected his habits.

I looked at Xia Xia distressedly, I was always so cheerful and strong, but I was pressed with so many things in my heart, and my heart was about to suffocate, and I refused to complain to me to show weakness, for fear that my troubles would trouble me. She was sleeping soundly at the moment, and even had a satisfied smile on her face, as if she had never left her warm bed.

Good Xiaxia, did you dream that Anzhou returned home and ran happily under the shadow of your parents?

I wiped my tears and said softly, "What a stubborn girl."

Yan Cuo glanced at me expressionlessly, packed up his things and left with a basin of water.

I covered the quilt for Xia Xia and quietly followed.

Yan was tidying up in the house, and I didn't know what to say to thank him.

He glared at me and said in disgust, "Do you also swim at night, what are you doing floating around?" Get away from me. ”

I was no longer afraid of Yan Cuo's cold face and pretended to be fierce, and said seriously: "Thank you for everything you have done for Xia Xia." Don't worry, you don't want Xia Xia to know, I won't tell her. ”

"You don't have to be kind." Yan Cuo is still like a sword.

"It turns out that vegetable oil has such a good effect of removing makeup and powder, and it is the first time I know about it." I was wrapped in clothes, and I didn't have anything to say.
