After Xie Ling jumped down from the window, he really saw Gu Changqing's figure in the vast moonlight and the dark alley.

He held his legs with both hands, buried his head deep between his legs, and curled up his body hard, at this time he looked very small and small, small and distressing.

Xie Ling's heart was sour, but he still walked over and didn't speak, just quietly accompanied him, looking at the moon for a while, and looking at him again for a while.

After a long time, Gu Changqing gradually raised his head, Xie Ling gently approached him, and slightly put his head on his shoulder, "If you are sad, treat me as a tree, just because I can't speak, and I can't understand your words, I can say whatever you want, and I can scold whatever I want?!" ”

Saying that, Xie Ling really closed his eyes and acted as a dutiful and real tree.

"Since I was a child, what I have been exposed to is that to be an official, the people must be the master, do practical things, and do good things.

My father said that if an official lives on the taxes paid by the people and depends on the people, he cannot live up to their expectations. So I've been abiding by this kind of teaching, I've been practicing it, I'm sorry for my father's expectations of me, I'm sorry for the people's trust and expectations of me, I don't want to be that kind of person, so I'm working harder than anyone else.

However, many things cannot be succeeded by one's own efforts, and many people will not understand them at all.

It's like they won't understand why I'd rather take a few taels of silver a month than take bribes, like they won't understand why I'm doing such a thing today, why I know it's going to be like this, and why I have to do it with anticipation. ”

Xie Ling gently stroked his hand into his, Gu Changqing's hand was very cold, like the moonlight like water.

"The day my father died, I watched him lie there as if he was asleep.

There were many people on the side, many people walking back and forth, they had everything they were ready for, but no one was saying who the murderer was, they were all shaking their heads, saying that they couldn't find the murderer. I thought at the time, when I become an official in the future, I must not let myself go deep into it wholeheartedly, and I will not let go of any murderer. So I tried my best, even if I was afraid of those dark places, dark caves, I had to go into it with my scalp, but gradually I found that this was not enough, I was the county magistrate of Yong'an City, and these hundreds of thousands of people put their own safety and their lives on me, I knew that I had to let them live well, so I came up with such a method, thinking that if there was one more person in the family to work, I would be able to earn a little more money and live a better life.

I was really, full of joy, and even went to those workshops again and again to talk to the boss, patting my chest and reassuring, but I never thought that no one would come today.

I only thought that there were very few people, but I didn't think that there was no one. ”

Xie Ling took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck away all Gu Changqing's sadness and decadence, all his bad moods on this night, and let him be the confident, proud, and refreshing one.

"Do you believe me?" Xie Ling closed his eyes, turned his head, and rubbed his head against him.

"Believe in what? Will you make a talking tree? Gu Changqing raised his head and showed the first indifferent smile of the night.

"No, I'm a tree that can't speak, just what happened, you just think it's me the tree talking in a dream. I'm asking you to follow me to a place that will definitely put you in a good mood? Xie Ling patted his chest and promised.

Gu Changqing looked at Xie Ling, who was still radiant with his eyes closed, "Where can you take me with such a tree with your eyes closed?" ”

"You'll know when you go."

Xie Ling pulled Gu Changqing and ran out, first walking out of the narrow alley and turning to the side

face, you can see the bright small courtyard.

"You see that you live in such a good place, but you like that kind of dark place." Xie Ling sneered, took his hand and ran out quickly.

The night breeze was cool, I don't know how long the two of them had been running, but the gloomy aura in Gu Changqing's heart seemed to have drifted away with the wind with the running, and he only felt that he was light all over.

"That's it?!" Xie Ling pointed to a pile of houses in front of him that looked broken and leaked everywhere.

The house looks big, but it's also very dilapidated, and from the outside, you can't help but worry about whether it will fall apart if a gust of wind blows.

"What are you bringing me here for?" Gu Changqing asked suspiciously.

"You come in with me." After that, Xie Ling was in front, slowly pushed open the door that he didn't know whether to call the door or not, and walked in, Gu Changqing had no choice but to follow in.

The inside of the house is large, but it is not empty, and it is occupied by many people, some in groups of three or five in one corner, and some sleeping alone in one place.

There are children, adults, and the elderly. They looked normal, they were dressed cleanly, and their hair was not dirty and tangled, but smooth, and they were all neatly tied together.

The inside and outside of the house were also very different, the outside was in ruins and rotten, but the inside was clean, just like those who snuggled up and fell asleep, they were all clean and clean, and there was no disgusting smell as expected.

There are still a few flower pots around, but because it has just entered spring, they have not bloomed, and only the bare torso is left standing on its own.

There are many things in the house, including tables and chairs, cooking utensils, and cabinets, which look like home.

"I used to live here, before I met you, before Master left. But then I left because I wanted to see the bigger world, and they should be able to help you. ”

Gu Changqing listened to Xie Ling's words, in fact, he was always very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect such a dilapidated place to have a hole in it, it was really an unexpected surprise.

He had always thought that beggars lived in tatters, slept on a pile of weeds and ate rancid meals every day, but looking at this situation, the people here should be doing well.

Just as he was in reverie, an old man woke up slowly, first looked at the two pitch-black figures and jumped, then slowly got up, and said in surprise after seeing Xie Ling's face clearly in this moonlight, "Lingling is back?!" ”

"Fifth grandfather, why did you wake up, I disturbed you, right?"

The fifth grandfather got up as he spoke, "No, no, the fifth grandfather is happy to see you come back, where did you run during this time, and I couldn't sleep well at night when I was worried." ”

Xie Ling stretched out his hand to take the fifth grandfather's hand, and the three of them walked outside slowly, for fear of disturbing the sleep of the people inside.

"Hey, who's this guy?"

Walking into the moonlight, the fifth grandfather noticed Gu Changqing's existence.

"Oh, this one, it's my good friend." Xie Ling explained.

Who knows, the fifth grandfather walked over slowly, and after carefully looking at Gu Changqing twice, he waved his hand angrily and said, "Nonsense, you girl and grandpa don't tell the truth, what is your good friend, is this clearly the person you like?"

Why do you think that the fifth grandfather is old, and he began to lie to me.

I've told you everything, don't lie to anyone, I've lived for such a long time, and I've become a sperm. ”

Xie Ling stuck out his tongue and glanced at Gu Changqing embarrassedly, but fortunately he pretended that he was looking at the moon and didn't hear anything.
