Xun Qing felt like she had a dream.

The long dreams that are upside down and blurred seem to have no end.

In the dream, he met new friends, and then left his friends in place and fled in embarrassment, experiencing a peaceful and happy life, but that life also fell apart before his eyes.

It seems that he got the courage and soon lost it......

Those earthly dreams were so long that he was overwhelmed, and when he looked back, he found that he had stood at the end of his lonely long dream.

In the evening sunset, dust falls in the air, like the sand of the stars. In the empty station, only the rail car waited quietly with the door open.

"Brother Xun Qing, it's time for you to go."

In the silence, Li Xiang on the bench slowly got up and told him, "You don't have to accompany me anymore, you shouldn't stay here." ”

"What about you?"

Xun Qing looked at him uneasily: "Li Xiang, where are you going?" ”

"Probably, it's the next stop?"

The young man held the pipa and turned around, his eyes were no longer empty, they were illuminated by the light of the setting sun, calm and clear, filled with a kind of glow that Xun Qing had never seen.

Finally, smile softly at him: "I want to go where there are no lies." ”

Xun Qing stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the corner of his clothes.

But the corners of his clothes floated in the wind.

Can't catch it.

Just like that, Li Xiang walked into Xi's car, the door closed behind him, through the window, and finally waved his hand at him, as if smiling and saying something.

But it was covered by the roar of the car.

Xun Qing couldn't hear clearly.

In the midst of the violent concussions and the increasingly dazzling sunlight, he staggered back, struggling, opening his eyes from the nightmare, gasping violently.

What greeted me was an unfamiliar room.

Simple and unpretentious.

The door opened slightly, and a gentle breeze blew in the afternoon sun.

The sound of children frolicking could be heard outside.

In the silence of the room, the crisp sound of falling children reverberates.

On the low table by the window, the boy with his back to him knelt in front of the chessboard, holding an ancient chess game in one hand and black and white chess pieces in the other.

Faced with the intricacies of the situation on the chessboard, ponder.

Hearing Xun Qing's voice, he turned his head in amazement, and quickly reacted, put down the things in his hand, and brought him a bowl of water.

"Drink slowly, don't rush."

Xun Qing took a sip and began to choke violently, the bowl fell from his hand, and the young man just calmly wiped off the wet marks for him, without any impatience: "Please don't move, you are still very weak now, and you need a long time to recuperate......"

"I—Where am I?" Xun Qing wanted to prop up her body: "How long have I been asleep?" Now, when is it? ”

"This is Yongpingfang, the teacher's private school, you were picked up by us from the river, you were in a coma for a long time, the teacher said that you were tormented, overwhelmed, I thought you would sleep for a long time, but I didn't expect you to wake up in only three days......"

"Three days?"

Xun Qing lost his voice, couldn't restrain himself anymore, forcibly propped up his body, and staggered forward against the wall: "No, I have to go to Li Bai, find Axiang, I have to ......"

"Don't go out, Mr. Xun Qing."

The boy said, "The teacher said that you might be in danger. ”

Xun Qing's movements stopped for a moment, stunned: "How do you know my name?" ”

The young man sighed wordlessly, and handed over a newspaper that had just been delivered today: "It's all written on it." ”

On the unfolded newspaper, Xun Qing's portrait is impressively printed, which can be called a wonderful pen, and his appearance and essence are outlined in just a few strokes, which is difficult to recognize.

In addition, there is Li Bai's face, and even ...... Li Township!

Xun Qingru was struck by lightning, his trembling hands could barely grasp the newspaper, and it was even more difficult to read the handwriting on it, until the thing fell to the ground, he could vaguely distinguish a few lines of handwriting.

Li Bai, the "heavenly man" in the clouds, was arrested on suspicion of assassinating the Li family's noble and wealthy businessmen, and his companion Li Xiang turned out to be an assassin antlers full of evil, who had been killed by Dali Temple; The only fish in the gang who slipped through the net was Xun Qing, the owner candidate, and now after being removed from the quota, he didn't know where he had escaped......

- 10,000 bounty!

"I ...... I ......"

Xun Qing's face was pale, and he only felt a buzzing in his ears, and the sky was spinning, and he no longer had any strength, so he sat down on the ground.

I don't know if I should be shocked or confused.

But for some reason, he didn't feel anything in his heart at the moment, just a calm, numb and uneasy to him.

Am I really okay?

Am I really fine?

I really...... Isn't it in hell?

Xun Qing covered her face, suppressed the pain and wails in her heart, and couldn't breathe.

Perhaps, he didn't wake up, he was still in a nightmare, he wanted to open his eyes again and return to the Xi car that left Chang'an half a year ago.

Even if you become a lonely and nameless trickster again, it doesn't matter if you have nothing.

He can stay away from all this and leave Chang'an forever.

Choose another life that will not be painful.

At least not to lose all ...... again

Xun Qing, that guy, there won't be any accidents, right?

Dali Temple, in the interrogation room, Li Bai in the shackles raised his head, looked at the sky outside the iron window that was shredded by the fence, and sighed silently, only hoping that he would be safe.

Even if you are afraid of all this, it doesn't matter if you run away.

Don't do anything stupid.

He closed his eyes and heard a thunderous sound on the other side of the table.

"How long do you expect to fool us with such ridiculous lies?"

The interrogator from the Criminal Department slapped the table and was furious: "I advise you not to have any luck mentality, don't expect Di Renjie to be able to protect you!" Li Bai, the case of your assassination of Bo Qingjun has been taken over by our Criminal Department, the evidence is ironclad, what else do you have to refute! ”

"I've said it many times, my lord."

Li Bai raised his eyes, looked at the indignant old man behind the table, and told him seriously: "Everything is done for nothing, Lu Daoxuan secretly plotted against Chang'an, including Ji Xian, Qingyi Hui, Li Boqing and Ji Xianke, they are all his accomplices." If you really want to protect this city, you shouldn't waste your time on me. ”

"Nonsense!"

The old man snorted coldly: "Duke Lu has died of illness a few days ago, and he was cremated and mourned under the witness of many teachers in Chang'an City, do you expect to be clean by pushing all the evidence on him?" Don't mention Ji Xian, who died in your hands, the Tsing Yi Society has already been wiped out, Li Boqing was killed by you, it naturally doesn't matter what you say.

But don't forget, Ji Xianke is not dead yet. When you corrected it, he was still drinking on the flower street, and I don't know how many people could see it clearly! ”

"That's fake." Li Bai shook his head.

"So what you're saying is true? Stubborn! The interrogator was furious and waved his hand: "Someone, go to punishment!" ”

There was silence.

In the corner, Yuan Fang's eyes looked at the man next to the interrogator who was closing his eyes and shrugging helplessly.

"There's nothing like that in Dali Temple." Di Renjie raised his eyes and said calmly: "Since Ben Cheng entered the Dali Temple, civilized law enforcement has been fully implemented, and a good person will never be wronged...... All the torture instruments were destroyed a few years ago. ”

"Ha, doesn't Dali Temple need to be punished when handling cases?" The interrogator of the Criminal Department sneered.

"Maybe someone else needs it, but I don't."

Di Renjie replied as a matter of course, raised his hand, and pointed to his eyes: "Whether it's true or not, I can see it." ”

"Blindly protecting this kind of heinous criminal, I think Master Di, your days are over!"

The interrogator glanced at him coldly: "I will take Li Bai back to the prison for interrogation." ”

"The matter is very high, and please show your majesty's will." Di Renjie remained unmoved: "Otherwise, please forgive me for being difficult to obey." ”

The argument between the two resumed.

Li Bai raised his eyes and calmly stared at the sky outside the window, looking at every bird flying by.

Until the interrogator from the Criminal Department brushed his sleeves away.

"This is just the beginning."

Di Renjie finally reminded: "The next situation may not be better than now, you may need to be prepared, that group of guys is like flies that have seen blood, they will only chase the target, but they will never care where the blood comes from." ”

"You take my word for it?" Li Bai asked.

"I choose to believe you as a person, that's all."

Di Renjie took one last look at him and sighed silently: "The search of Dali Temple these days has been fruitless, and I can't find any whereabouts of Wu Yougong.

I hope you don't disappoint me. ”

"I try."

Li Bai got up, cooperated with the escort, and walked to the cell.

Just one last glance back at him before heading out.

"Thank you."

Those words were hallucinations.

When Di Renjie turned back in astonishment, it had already dissipated in the wind.

"When you go back, you must cherish your life, and you can't dive anymore."

In front of the gate of the private school, the demon girl with rabbit ears held snacks, looked at Xun Qing's appearance, and tried to stand on tiptoe and pat Xun Qing's shoulder.

As if imitating the appearance of an adult, he said to him seriously: "No matter how painful things are, they will pass, and if you touch your head, the unhappy things will fly away." ”

"Thank you, Miss Gongsun, for saving me."

Xun Qing thanked him, put on his hood, and hid his face.

"Look, I make sense, right?" Gongsun Li winked at his brother proudly.

The young man named Yi Xing bowed his head: "Okay, I'll just send off the guests, didn't you say to go to Yuhuan to eat osmanthus cake?" ”

"That's right!"

The rabbit-eared girl's eyes lit up, she turned around and took two steps, came back, and gave Xun Qing a piece of the osmanthus cake in her hand before turning around and leaving.

The child seems to be forever carefree, innocent and kind.

Looking at her happy appearance, Xun Qing only hoped that in the future, she would not find out that the person she kindly rescued turned out to be a wanted criminal.

"As a result, I forgot to say goodbye."

Yi Xing helplessly 'complained', but his expression was gentle and calm, and after watching her go away, he looked back at Xun Qing: "Are you really leaving?" Mr. Xun Qing, the teacher said that you can stay, people always have difficulties, and it's okay to stay for a while. ”

"After all, my identity is sensitive, and if I stay any longer, I'm afraid I will cause trouble for you."

Xun Qing smiled bitterly and thanked him: "Please thank you on my behalf after the return of the Lingshi, the great favor cannot be reciprocated, if there is a chance in the future......"

"Will there be a chance?"

Yi Xing interrupted him, causing him to be slightly stunned.

The young man stared at Xun Qing suspiciously, and suddenly said, "Mr. Xun, do you want to die?" ”

Xun Qing was stunned for a long time, smiled awkwardly, and waved his hand vigorously: "No, no, how could you not think about it......"

"But the look in your eyes is like looking for death."

Yi Xing said seriously: "Mr. Xun Qing, the teacher said: people will die, but people do not come to this world to die, but should live for more precious things."

You shouldn't be so despised about life. ”

The young man's expression was so solemn, as if he was telling the truth, making Xun Qing freeze in place, unable to answer.

Something more precious......

Could there be such a thing?

Perhaps.

I used to grow like a weed, living for no reason, trying to move forward for no reason, I never thought about such a question.

But now, by the time he understood this, it was too late.

Respected teachers, trusted friends, proud companions, and people who want to protect...... All of them had left him.

Xun Qing wanted to laugh and fool around like in the past, but when he opened his mouth, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't make a sound.

I don't have anything left.

Such words cannot be said at all.

He just subconsciously covered his face.

Fear of shedding tears in front of an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

Turning around, he fled in a hurry.

obviously wanted to escape, wanted to stay away from these, but when Xun Qing came back to his senses, he found that he had returned to the vicinity of the shack area where the remnants gathered.

A familiar voice was heard in the distance.

He staggered across the street, not daring to move forward, not daring to face the disappointed faces. Looking at the Honglu Temple patrolling not far away, he wanted to throw himself into the net several times, but he didn't have that courage.

It wasn't until the messengers were about to notice his tracks that he panicked into the alley.

"Bounty ......"

His heart suddenly paused, and he looked down bitterly at the remnants of their lives in the distance. Because of their own reasons, not only did they lose hope, but their lives are becoming more and more difficult.

If you really value so much money.

Perhaps, he can finally do something for them?

He walked into the street numbly, looked at the faces that were already familiar on weekdays, was silent for a long time, and suddenly reached out and took off his hood.

Many people have already noticed this suspicious man, and some people have begun to suspect and raise their guard. But when Xun Qing took off his hood, the expressions of those people suddenly stiffened.

They looked at each other and were stunned.

But soon, they withdrew their gaze and walked away.

There was no expected angry look that pounced on him.

Xun Qing was stunned.

Suspiciously, he took a few steps forward, wanting to reach out and grab the oncoming porter: "Hey, Changheng, don't you know me?" ”

The porter, who complained to his companion about the steward's slamming of the door, turned around and was stunned for a moment, and then turned and walked away as if he had seen nothing.

In the long stupor, Xun Qing stood at the corner of the street in amazement, but found that those who looked over avoided their gaze, and no one spoke.

No one was looking at him.

It's as if he's an invisible ghost.

Turning a deaf ear.

Xun Qing staggered forward, but the crowd parted in front of him, and everyone never looked at him again.

Even if the gold is close at hand.

In the dazed forward, no one paid attention.

Until his footsteps stopped outside a simple door, and he heard an angry voice coming from behind the wooden door.

"It's all to blame for Xun Qing's dog, our people in Anle Fang are now looked down upon everywhere, and even the overtime wages have been deducted by the steward."

The sweaty middle-aged man sat on the steps, wiping the sweat from his face, complaining resentfully: "I said a long time ago that that guy is unreliable." If I really want to find that guy, I must make him look good! ”

But before he could finish speaking, a hoarse voice came from the room, and the old woman leaned on the door frame and looked at her son: "Why don't you let me look good first?" ”

"Mother? Aren't you resting? ”

The man got up in amazement: "Go to the house quickly, you can't ...... the wind when you are sick."

"I don't think it's better to die!"

The old woman pushed his hand away, choked and rebuked, "Don't you even have shame anymore!" If Xun Qing hadn't found someone to vouch for you before, how could you find a job in a car dealership? If he is unreliable, I am long gone, where can I find a doctor? ”

"Mother, he killed someone......"

"Do you believe everything others say?"

The old man couldn't help but choke in a low voice: "What bullshit Dali Temple, what Di Bao, I don't know how to read, but I don't believe a word."

First Lu Gong, then Xun Qing, I kind of understand, in this world, good people don't live long...... What a good boy. And Li Xiang, that kid is the most kind-hearted, he has taken care of me for so long, if he really wants to kill someone, it's better to kill me, an old thing. ”

"Mother, he's already gone!" The middle-aged man was annoyed and raised his voice: "Maybe they are no longer in Chang'an, he left us here......"

"Then run, the farther you go, the better."

The old man folded his hands and prayed sincerely: "The Buddha must bless, Mr. Li Bai is safe and sound, and please bless Xun Qing's child not to be found, after leaving Chang'an, he will have many blessings and longevity, many sons and grandchildren, and don't come back to this place for the rest of his life...... For the sake of us old things, there are enough people who have suffered. When is this the end of a day......"

By the end, she couldn't stop crying.

Tears.

Outside the door, Xun Qing's palms trembled, and he no longer had the courage to push open the door.

There is no face to face the blessings and expectations of the elderly.

He should have shed tears, but he couldn't cry anymore, he only felt like his eyes were ignited by fire, and he couldn't open his eyes in pain.

Difficulty breathing.

He was lying on the ground, muffling the sound of whimpering in his throat.

Painfully hard to breathe.

He finally understood why everyone was blind to him......

Even if people all over the world believe that he is a murderer, a scum with ulterior motives, there is still a group of people who firmly believe in his innocence.

Even, he believed in himself even more than Xun Qing.

Even though he couldn't do anything, he still did his best and wanted to protect him again.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

He covered his face and walked away from there.

When he saw the errand man in the street in the distance, he lowered his head, put his hood back on, and quickened his pace.

He's going to run away.

Again......

As long as there is one person standing behind him, he will definitely not throw in the towel.

As long as you're alive, it's not over yet!
