The gentle and rhythmic knock on the door came to his ears, Xiao Cong tilted his head at an angle to look at the door, and replied softly:

"Come in. ”

With a "squeak-twist" sound, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and a small head poked into the crack of the door, with a smile on his face, it was Hongxiang.

"Brother. ”

Hongxiang called happily, jumped into the door like a naughty child, turned his head and closed the door gently, walked to the table in three steps and sat down generously, opened an upside-down tea bowl, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Xiao Cong watched Hongxiang finish this series of actions with a smile, and said with a slight doting:

"It's not good to sleep at night, what are you doing here? ”

Hongxiang pouted and said aggrievedly:

"Why, my brother hates me so much, besides, it's only a little bit. ”

Xiao Cong smiled when he heard this, rubbed his forehead involuntarily with his right hand, put down his hand, and said with a little tiredness:

"Brother doesn't hate you, it's just that you haven't been to my room at this point. ”

Hongxiang smiled slyly like a little fox, and then said very seriously:

"That's because we rarely stay in guest houses, and when we don't stay in guest houses, don't my brother and I sleep in the same place all the time? ”

Xiao Cong bowed slightly, with a look of understanding, and said softly:

"It seems like that's the reason. ”

Hongxiang laughed a few more times, taking advantage of the railway:

"So it's not abrupt for me to come to my brother's room at this time. ”

Xiao Cong squinted at Hongxiang, who was smiling, the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of laughter, and said lightly:

"I don't know if you kid want to know about the country. ”

Hongxiang's little head shook like a rattle, and he looked like he didn't admit it if he was killed.

"No, no, haven't all the refugees in the country been rescued, I know that my brother's credit for this matter is the greatest, otherwise Xingliuyun wouldn't have praised my brother so much at the celebration banquet. ”

Then, with a sneer, he changed his words and said:

"However, if my brother wants to reminisce about some of the good things, it is not impossible for me to be my brother's listener here. ”

Xiao Cong didn't lose his smile, this kid is really getting more and more faceless and skinless, originally according to the convention, he was going to entertain him again, but this time he didn't want to do it, first, Hongxiang's small request was really nothing, and secondly, he suddenly felt a little tired, it seemed that talking about some things in Fukuang Guo could make him feel more relaxed, so he cleared his throat and began to tell Hongxiang about the things he experienced in Fuluguo.

Regarding the things he experienced in the Fuyan country, Xiao Cong almost said it to Hongxiangquan without landing, but what should be a long story is a long story short, what should be brought is also a sentence, what should be heavily rendered should also be heavily rendered, and what should be added to the vinegar has not forgotten to add oil and vinegar, and the words have not been said for a long time, but Xiao Cong has never felt that any time he spoke was as happy as tonight.

Hongxiang listened to it with fascination, and couldn't help but be a little late, his face was sometimes relaxed, sometimes nervous, but the black and white

Ming's big eyes are always open, but the light that comes out of his eyes is constantly changing.

After Xiao Cong finished speaking, he picked up a cup and took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and his face was a look of relief.

Hongxiang was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly came back to his senses from that state, and said:

"Doesn't my brother think it's a pity?"

Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile:

"What's the pity?"

Hongxiang turned to Xiao Cong and said with a serious face:

"My brother, Xingliuyun and Yuwen Gongzi have gone through so many difficulties and saved the surviving people of Fukuan Country together, but my brother didn't see them live a stable life again, if my brother can see them live a stable life, what a gratifying thing it would be!"

When Xiao Cong heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and then smiled, as if he was talking to Hongxiang, and as if he was talking to himself,

"Don't worry, these things will be done, I trust him. ”

Hongxiang opened his small mouth, stopped talking, then swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously:

"Brother, did you say goodbye to the Starstream Cloud before you left?"

Xiao Cong pursed his lips like a weak-hearted child, shook his head and said:

"Nope. ”

Hongxiang muttered in a low voice:

"I'm guessing you didn't say goodbye to Xingliuyun, otherwise, how could that guy let you go so easily? ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Cong was happy,

"Farewell ceremony? What farewell ceremony do you want? Why is the little one's head getting more and more funny. ”

Hongxiang raised his little face and swore an oath:

"It's not that guy can't do it, even if there is no farewell ceremony, then he and Yuwen Gongzi must send his brother out of the city, and then the people in the city will have to come out to watch, in case that guy has a whim, and then he will do something about it, my brother has not seen it before. ”

Xiao Cong's right hand involuntarily touched the bridge of his nose again, and said with a smile:

"What do you mean...... There seems to be some truth to it. ”

Hongxiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise:

"Hey, didn't my brother leave quietly because he thought of this?"

Xiao Cong shook his head,

"It's not. ”

"Are you afraid that parting will be inseparable?" Hongxiang asked.

Xiao Cong shook his head again,

"Not really. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

Xiao Cong thought for a moment and replied honestly:

"It's Boss Star who won't let me say goodbye to him. ”

The two looked at each other, and for a while, Hongxiang nodded slowly,

"I understood, it turned out that it was the Nebula that was afraid of parting. ”

Xiao Cong didn't answer, he just lost his mind, he didn't know if Xingliuyun was afraid of parting, but in his impression, Xing Boss was not such a heroic and short-tempered person.

So he could only reply softly after a while:

"Perhaps. ”

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and the two of them sat in the candlelight, and I don't know if it was because of the wind, the candle flame occasionally fluttered, and even the shadow cast on the ground occasionally trembled

, like a ripple on the surface of the lake, is the only dynamic in this room.

Hongxiang's little hand was frosted on the outer wall of the tea bowl, and finally picked up the cup, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then put down the tea bowl, slowly raised his head and faced Xiao Cong, and said softly:

"Brother...... Is there something on your mind?"

Xiao Cong changed hands when he heard this, and smiled again,

"I don't have any things on my mind, maybe I just haven't changed from my previous state. ”

Hongxiang raised his eyebrows lightly and asked:

"What status?"

Xiao Cong flattened his mouth, pretending to be embarrassed to think, and it seemed that he felt a little embarrassed, and replied:

"I don't seem to be able to tell, but I feel like I suddenly like military life. ”

Hongxiang was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and the big black and white eyes were even clearer at this time, and he said:

"My brother probably didn't like the life of the military, just because he ......"

He stopped talking, and after all, he did not finish his words, but changed to a more relaxed tone, and said:

"It's not a bad thing anyway. ”

Xiao Cong smiled slightly and said:

"Do you know what I was thinking when you said that?"

Hongxiang shook his head,

"What do you think?"

Xiao Cong still had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of ancient wells, and he slowly spoke:

"I'm thinking, am I no longer able to bear loneliness, how can I practice like this? But when I think about it, who said that with these so-called "miscellaneous thoughts" you can't reach Mahayana, and cultivation is not necessarily boring, the former sage said that pure heart and self-denial and strong ambition are the only way to cultivate, but is he really right? I haven't verified ......

As he was talking, Xiao Cong smiled again, shook his head and continued:

"Hey, I don't know what I'm talking about, maybe I just want to explain one thing, we should believe in ourselves, as long as our hearts are right, then the path we are taking is right, what do you say?"

Hongxiang shrunk his neck and smiled,

"Although I don't quite understand what my brother said, I believe that as long as my brother says it is right, it is right. ”

The smile on the corner of Xiao Cong's mouth deepened a little, Hongxiang would always give him a very intimate feeling at some point, this intimate feeling made him lazy to think, he just wanted to enjoy it, and of course he didn't want to talk.

Probably afraid that the atmosphere would be silent again, Hongxiang didn't give Xiao Cong a chance to enjoy that intimate feeling, and asked tightly:

"But I still think my brother has something on his mind!"

Xiao Cong was silent, silent for a long time, turned his face and said without shock:

"You say yes, then let me ask you a question. ”

After a pause, Xiao Cong continued:

"We're leaving this place, next stop, where do you want to go?"

Hongxiang bit his finger and thought for a while, and said cutely:

"Where are we going?"

Xiao Cong sighed faintly,

"Yes, a lot, we can go to the Hades to increase our power, and we can also go to other dangerous places to improve me

Our strength ......"

"Isn't my brother going to go back to the Xiao family?"

Before Xiao Cong could finish speaking, Hongxiang interjected.

Xiao Cong's face was obviously stunned when he heard this, and he lost his mind for a long time before he muttered:

Xiao ...... Family...... Xiao family, I ...... Can you go back now......"

Hongxiang bit his lower lip lightly, his face was deeply unbearable, and he swore that he said:

"As long as my brother wants to go back, he will definitely be able to go back, at least, there is Hongxiang to accompany his brother!"

The corners of Xiao Cong's mouth began to tilt upwards and upwards until he bent out of an extraordinarily beautiful arc, he reached out and stroked Hongxiang's head, and laughed softly:

"Actually, my brother also wants to go back there to have a look, but it's too dangerous there, although it's been nearly four years, there must be a master guarding there, even if it's not to catch me, just the secrets buried by the Xiao family for endless years are enough to make them crazy, heh, speaking of which, even I don't know all the secrets about the Xiao family. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"But Hongxiang's heart, my brother understands it, thank you. ”

Hongxiang Beiya continued to bite the bright red dropping lip, opened his big black and clear eyes, looked at Xiao Cong, and whispered:

"Brother, it's not that dangerous, aren't you going to change your appearance, let's sneak in like before, no one will notice, even if you don't go in, take a sneak peek outside, I believe my brother will feel better, I can understand the pain in my brother's heart, I know, it's really uncomfortable......"

Hongxiang's voice became smaller and smaller, and he slowly lowered his head.

Xiao Cong looked at Hongxiang's depressed appearance, sighed quietly, smiled, and continued to gently rub Hongxiang's head and said:

"My brother is not bitter in his heart, with Hongxiang here, my brother's son is much happier. ”

Hongxiang raised his head sharply when he heard this, with a look of surprise and astonishment,

"Really?"

Xiao Cong smiled and nodded,

"When did my brother lie to you?"

The next moment, he saw a sweet smile blooming on Hongxiang's face, and he didn't know what made him feel so satisfied, and he didn't know what made him so shy, he slowly lowered his head and muttered:

"As long as my brother is happy, then I can stay by my brother's side forever. ”

Xiao Cong slowly took Hongxiang into his arms, and said in a deep voice:

"You're going to stay with your brother all the time. ”
