When Wu Guofu staggered out of a dilapidated thatched hut, it had not snowed yet, but it was very gloomy.

Ten paces from the hut, he stopped, craned his neck and squinted at the sky for a moment, and cursed quietly, "Phew! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large snowflake fell on his forehead. In the blink of an eye, the white and beautiful snowflakes turned into droplets with a little temperature, which flowed down Wu Guofu's forehead and down his nose.

Wu Guofu raised his hand to wipe away the droplets of water that had melted from the snowflakes on his face, and just as he wanted to continue cursing, he saw the second and third pieces fall in front of him······ of snowflakes. He looked up in amazement, and saw that the sky above him seemed to have been torn open in the middle by a pair of huge hands, and all the snowflakes contained in it were pouring down.

In just a few moments, the ground was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes.

At this time when he stood in place and was stunned, Wu Guofu found that the snow had fallen so much that he couldn't see the road in front of him clearly.

This discovery immediately dispelled Wu Guofu's unprovoked anger, he hurriedly closed his mouth, shrunk his neck, pulled the neckline of his clothes up and down, put his hands into the cuffs, and lowered his head towards the crooked neck willow tree in front of the grass house.

The stake of the willow tree was tied to the cart set up by an old donkey, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the dilapidated roof. Although there is a carport to cover it, there are also some snowflakes in the area where the car is driving in front of it, and if you want to drive away, you must first clear the layer of snow.

Wu Guofu had just scratched twice with his hand in front of the car when he saw a half-wet envelope on the board. He also studied in a private school for a few years when he was a child, so he still knew some words, picked up the envelope and looked at it, only to see that there was no word written on the envelope, Wu Guofu thought it was a donkey cart that one of his acquaintances knew him, but he didn't see the note left by others.

It's just because Wu Guofu's life is poor, so when he encounters that green and yellow season, he inevitably has to rely on borrowing to survive. There is also a strange thing about Wu Guofu's temper, he has a bad life, so he doesn't want to trouble his relatives and friends, and there is basically no contact with his relatives, which makes the people who know him are only some people who are willing to lend him money.

Therefore, Wu Guofu held the envelope in his hand and thought about it, the person who left him the letter was nothing more than some creditors who came to collect debts, so it was okay not to read the contents of the envelope. As soon as he thought of this, Wu Guofu grabbed the envelope in the palm of his hand and rubbed it, and threw it on the ground casually.

The snow on the car has been swept away, Wu Guofu untied the reins, jumped into the car in a flash, the roof on his head blocked some of the wind and snow, Wu Guofu, who had frozen his upper and lower teeth trembling, did not immediately drive the donkey cart away, but the whole person shrunk into a ball, rubbing his hands against each other and kept snorting hot air into his palms, wanting to wait for his hands to be warmer before hurrying.

Just delayed in place for a while, seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Wu Guofu was worried that the snow on the road would be thicker after a while, and the wheels would inevitably slip in the snow, so he gritted his teeth and pulled up the reins, and was about to drive the old donkey in front of the car when he suddenly heard a "clang", which sounded like it came from the back seat of the car.

Wu Guofu was stunned for a while, and then he remembered to see what the situation was, so he turned around, lifted the blue curtain on the back seat of the car, and stretched his neck to check in the car.

It turned out that in the middle of the back compartment of the car, there was a boxy paper bag, it seemed that the paper bag contained a stone or an iron lump or something, and the sound just now should be made when the contents of the paper bag smashed on the wooden board in the car, it seems that the paper bag had been placed on the roof of the car until then.

Who put this into his car?

Wu Guofu picked up the paper bag and looked at it for a while, but saw that the paper bag was full of words, and it looked like new ink, but he picked it up for a while, and his hands were stained with black ink.

What is this?

This is a question worth thinking about deeply, but Wu Guofu didn't have some thoughts at this time, he only frowned and stared at the paper bag in his hand for a while, then threw it into the carriage casually, put down the curtain and prepared to drive away.

Tightening the reins in his hand, and with a shout, the old donkey snorted on his back, and then stepped forward without hurrying.

Looking at the old donkey's head and walking a few steps forward, a thought suddenly poured into Wu Guofu's heart: I remember that there was a faint hint of redness in the paper bag just now, and now I think about it, no matter how you look at it, the shape looks like the big seal of the old man of the government office, could it be that this paper bag was put in by the spies of the government office?

As soon as this thought came out, Wu Guofu immediately broke out in a cold sweat, he pulled the reins with both hands violently, stopped the old donkey, and then turned around and lifted the curtain behind him, staring at the paper bag that was thrown into the innermost corner of the carriage, and his mind suddenly became chaotic.

Just stared at the paper bag and thought about it for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out, Wu Guofu finally decided, whether it was dead or alive, or take the paper bag over and take a look.

Having made up his mind, he climbed into the carriage, stretched out his sweaty right hand, picked up the paper bag and carefully opened it layer by layer, until finally, Wu Guofu found that the inside of the paper bag was the same as he had thought before, it was a stone, and the paper full of words was just a kind of tabloid issued daily in this happy town.

The content of this tabloid is nothing more than writing some anecdotes, and after seeing everything clearly, the fear in my heart dissipates at once.

In his heart, he secretly cursed who is so boring, just when Wu Guofu wanted to throw this tabloid group back into the carriage again, he suddenly saw a piece of text circled in red pen and ink on the far left of this tabloid, which suddenly attracted Wu Guofu's attention.

Looking at this, Wu Guofu's face became more and more ugly, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, he wanted to shout for help, but he felt that there was a breath of stuffy air blocking his heart, and he couldn't get out or get out. This feeling lasted for a while, and finally he could no longer breathe in after exhaling, and his body collapsed limply on the wooden plank in the carriage.

Just when Wu Guofu's eyes were dilated and he was about to lose consciousness, the blue curtain on the back seat of the donkey cart was opened, and a black figure leaned into the car, and the person kept groping around Wu Guofu's body, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing some situations, Wu Guofu wanted to cry out for help, but all that came out of his throat was a "hiss-la-la" sound, he raised his arm and stretched it forward, trying to catch the man, but he grabbed it several times in a row and was empty.

After a while, the man finally gasped for breath and stuffed something into Wu Guofu's hand, who was still struggling to grab it.

Wu Guofu only saw a white spot dangling in front of him, he blinked his eyes vigorously, opened them again, and finally saw that it was the person who was smiling at Wu Guofu, and the white spot dangling just now looked like the person's teeth.

Then, the man fumbled in the carriage for a while, then straightened up, shook the tabloid in his hand at Wu Guofu, turned around and jumped out of the carriage and jumped out of the donkey cart.

With the moment when the man jumped off the donkey cart, Wu Guofu only felt that his eyes were dark, and he completely lost consciousness, and in his right hand, he was still holding on tightly to what the man in black gave him.

······

Shi Liang is a groom who pulls people to deliver goods, and early in the morning, he just drank a bowl of hot millet porridge, and said hello to his wife who was still busy and went out.

Today's weather was surprisingly cold, he just came out of the house and froze his neck, and when he walked outside the gate, he looked up at the sky, Shi Liang tightened the placket of his neckline, and plunged into the heavy snow with a smile on his face.

This kind of weather should be able to kill a lot of guests, although there are not too many people who go out in the snow, but you can receive two or three fares for one trip, just this alone, it really makes Shi Liang feel happy to think about it.

When Shi Liang, who was smiling from ear to ear, walked to the stable behind his house, his face changed suddenly, because at the door of his stable, someone had a donkey cart on a leash, and this donkey cart happened to block the exit of his carriage.

Seeing this situation, just when Shi Liang wanted to open his mouth to scold his mother, he fixed his eyes and took a closer look, the donkey cart was not tethered, and the reins were also dragged on the ground on one side.

So, Shi Liang endured and endured, swallowed the words that came to his mouth again, walked to the donkey cart in a few steps, lifted the curtain, and saw a man walking on his back at a glance, as if he had fallen asleep. ”

After saying that, without waiting for the man in the cart to give him a reply, he turned around and went into his own stable, thinking that when he had put all the carriages in place, the donkey cart blocked at the door of the stables would be gone.

But who would have thought that when Shi Liang unhurriedly put on the cart and the horse untied the reins and prepared to leave the stable, the donkey cart was still in place, and there was no movement at all.

This made Shi Liang angry, he stepped forward in a few steps, knocked on the board of the donkey cart twice, and cursed in his mouth: "Dead man, I didn't hear him so loudly just now?"

After waiting for a while, I saw that the donkey cart still did not move, and when I listened carefully, there was no sound in the carriage.

This made Shi Liang, who was standing outside the car, couldn't help but mutter: "Could this person in the car really be dead?"

Thinking of this, he had to carefully open the curtain of the donkey cart again, stretch his neck to look inside the carriage, but seeing that the man who was lying on his back before seemed to have really not moved a bit, Shi Liang's heart began to beat wildly. He knocked on the wooden plank on the car again and shouted "master" twice, but the man in the car did not respond.

There was no way, Shi Liang had to lean into the car, stretched out his hand and shook the man's feet a few times, at this time, I don't know what mechanism in the car was touched, only to smell a strong pungent smell coming to his face, and he retreated again and again. Shi Liang retreated to the outside of the car, covered his nose with one hand, slapped his nose a few times with the other, and opened the curtain in front of the car, and waited until the smell in the carriage dissipated a little, then leaned into the carriage again, pinched his nose with one hand, pulled the man's foot with the other, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, you can wake up." ”

After screaming a few times, the people in the carriage still did not respond.

Just when Shi Liang didn't know what to do next, he suddenly heard a very subtle "pop" sound, he held his breath, listened carefully for a while, and found that he heard correctly, so he took a step back and looked carefully around the donkey cart.

I didn't see anything wrong after turning around, but the "click" sound never stopped, and it tended to get louder and louder.

Shi Liang, who was at a loss, stood in place and was stunned, and suddenly he remembered something, squatted down and looked at the bottom of the car. I didn't expect to make a real discovery, but I saw a pool of strangely colored liquid on the snow under the donkey cart, which was black with a hint of red. Just as he frowned and thought about what the liquid under the car was, and whether the unpleasant smell before was emitted by the puddle of liquid, there was another "pop" sound.

This time he saw it clearly, and when he glanced up at the place where the liquid was dripping, Shi Liang, who was frightened, took several steps backwards violently, and the last one did not stand firmly, and fell to the snow on his back.

"Blood······ It's a bloody ······."

After Shi Liang said these words in a trembling voice, he got up and ran towards his house.

Panting and running to the door of the house, Shi Liang suddenly remembered the current situation, and he should still go to the police first. So, frightened, he ran in the direction of the government again.

······

When I raised my head, I felt that the snow that kept falling down was like a black mosquito rushing in my face, and it was mercilessly attacking the people on the ground.

When he met Shi Liang, Yan Shen, the captor of the Xile Town Government, was conducting his daily patrol on the streets not far from the place where the accident occurred. In the distance, I saw a man in his thirties running towards them in a panic, and he had a premonition that something unusual must have happened, he and Lao Luotou, who was on the band, glanced at each other, and the two walked over in front of Shi Liang.

As soon as he saw the two trappers patrolling the streets, Shi Liang seemed to see a savior descending to earth, and he cried out holding Lao Luo's hand with both hands. As soon as the two arresters heard about the life lawsuit, they didn't care about the slippery, wet and cold road on this snowy day, and walked towards the place where the accident occurred with Shi Liangshen, who was not lightly frightened.

"Two officials, you see, it's the donkey cart. ”

There was still some distance from his stable, Shi Liang stopped, and pointed to the donkey cart that was still parked in place from a distance and said to Yan Shen and Lao Luotou.

Lao Luotou squinted at the donkey cart, gestured with his eyes, and said, "Let's go, take us to see." ”

"I ······ I ······"

Shi Liang looked at Lao Luotou with an embarrassed face, then turned his head to look at Yan Shen for help, and finally was kicked coldly by Lao Luotou, and then he trembled and walked in the direction of the stable.

"I ······ When I was about to go out this morning, I saw this donkey cart parked in front of my stable blocking the exit, so I went up to check who ······ Who knew this, and found a dead man lying in the car, and the car ······ There was blood all under the car. ”

As they spoke, the three of them had already stood in front of the donkey cart, and Lao Luo Tou first looked around the donkey cart, and then asked Shi Liang: "When you found out, was the scene like this?"

Shi Liang nodded hurriedly.

Yan Shen squatted down, looked at the blood clots that had frozen into ice under the car, and asked, "Was the curtain in front of the car opened when you found it?"

Shi Liang nodded again and again, and then realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly shook his head.

This annoyed Lao Luotou who was standing aside, his face sank, his hands were in his belt, and he asked sharply: "Did you open the curtain of this car door?"

Shi Liang, who was frightened by Lao Luotou's posture, shrunk his neck and quickly explained: "When I found this donkey cart, the curtain was lowered. At that time, I stood outside the car and called a few times, and when I saw that no one answered, I thought about opening the curtain to see what was going on inside······ Who would have thought that I would see a dead man lying inside, I was in a hurry to report to the official, and I was in a hurry, so I forgot to put down the curtain. Just now, when this little official suddenly asked like this, I didn't react at once, so I nodded. ”

When he said the last sentence, Shi Liang secretly glanced at Yan Shen several times.

Yan Shen just didn't see his small action, and then walked to Lao Luo's side, and discussed with his partner in a low voice: "Lao Luo, this person's life is at stake, let's go back quickly and tell the master." ”

Lao Luo nodded.

Seeing that the two trappers got together and whispered, Shi Liang was a little at a loss for a while, seeing this, Yan Shen beckoned him to come to him and said, "We have to go back and report this matter to the county master, and you have to go with us to meet the master, so that we can explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly in front of the master." ”

Listening to Yan Shen's words, Shi Liang was stunned for a moment, and then pleaded with a bitter face: "Two officials, it's okay if you want to take me to see the officials, but before you go, can you let me go back and explain to my family first, so as to save my family worry." ”

The two trappers exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Shi Liang suddenly blossomed with joy, bowed and bowed to Yan Shen and Lao Luotou, and said the words of gratitude over and over again, and finally under the urging of Lao Luotou, he turned around and entered his own house.

The snow was still falling one after another, and Yan Shen, who really had nothing to do, looked up to enjoy the snow scene for a while, and then lowered his head and kicked the snow at his feet, and muttered in his heart while kicking back: Why does the snow, which looks so light in the sky, become so heavy once it falls to the ground?

This is a question with too many answers, and at the same time an unsolvable question, Yan Shen took a deep breath, decided not to think about this nerve-wracking question again, and flew up again, just thinking to see how far he could kick these loose snowflakes out. With a flick of his foot, a large cloud of white powder flew up, and as the silvery-white powder fell back to the ground, a cowhide-yellow object caught his eye.

Yan Shen stood in place and frowned and thought about it, walked forward and bent down to pick up the thing from the snow, took it in his hand and looked closely, it turned out to be a crumpled envelope.

Spreading out the envelope, Yan Shen found that there seemed to be a piece of letter paper in the envelope, he stared at the envelope again, and then carefully took out the letter inside, only glanced at it, and suddenly froze in place, he looked at the dead man lying in the donkey cart carriage, and then looked at the letter paper in his hand, and was speechless in surprise.

Lao Luotou, who found something strange, came to Yan Shen's side, tilted his head and squinted at the letter paper in Yan Shen's hand, and when he saw the content of the paper, he was also stunned for a moment, only to see four big characters written crookedly on it: Kill me, father.

······

The snow began to fall in the morning, and there was no intention to stop until the evening, looking at the heavy snow, the corners of Qian Jin's mouth unconsciously put on a smile.

When it snows, Qian Jin always has to walk around in the snow, which is his, or more precisely, a habit of hers.

How Qian Jin's habit was formed, few people know.

Again, few people know, and the gender of Qian Jin.

Qian Jin did not deliberately conceal this, but in the same way, he did not deliberately mention it.

But unexpectedly, she deliberately told this seven days ago to a person who had just met for less than an hour.

This person is the "black man" who broke a flower pot when he was bored Qian Jin wandering around the door of the restaurant that night.

That day, after waiting for two or three quarters of an hour in the bathhouse on the fourth floor, Qian Jin went back to his room upstairs to rest. After another two quarters of an hour had passed, there was a knock on the door of the room, and when the door was opened, standing in front of Qian Jin was a young man dressed in a dark color dress, only fifteen or six years old, with long hair and a delicate face.

I remember that Qian Jin smiled at the first sight of this young man, but the only thing that made her feel an eyesore was the young man's long hair that refused to be tied up. So in the next two days, Qian Jin always tried his best to tell the boy about various hair tie styles, but no matter whether Qian Jin explicitly or implicitly, the boy was always unwilling to tie up his hair.

In this way, two more days passed, and Qian Jin got used to seeing it, and he no longer mentioned the matter of letting the young man tie his hair.

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Since that day, Qian Jin arranged a room for the boy on the tenth floor of the Tongyi Restaurant, and every afternoon when it was about to dark, Qian Jin would appear at the door of the restaurant staggeringly.

All along, she has called this behavior of hers "going to work". No one has objected to this, except for her parents, who live in the suburbs. However, after Qian Jin had entrusted someone to bring the second elder money a few times on time for several months, even her parents didn't say anything anymore.

Originally, Qian came to the restaurant every day at a very casual time, and since she took in the teenager, she appeared in the restaurant as early as possible every day. Not for anything else, just taking her newly acquired little brother around in the Tongyi Restaurant, the tallest building in Joy Town.

At this time, just after the palm lamp, the young man with his hair was following behind Qian Jin, bowing his head and stepping on the footprints that Qian Jin had stepped on, and the two of them turned around in front of the door of the Tongyi Restaurant.

If it is in a folded book, this scene is definitely the beginning of a romantic love story, but unfortunately, this day is not the story in the book. And the most important point is that in Qian Jin's love story, the existence of a man will never be allowed, let alone a man who doesn't even know his name from beginning to end.

After turning around in front of the restaurant again, Qian Jin turned around and greeted the young man behind him, and said, "Let's go, brother, it's too cold, let's go in." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

In fact, if you don't need money to greet her, the young man behind her will obediently follow her in. Or rather, she doesn't need to greet her at all, and the teenager behind her will follow her wherever he goes, except, of course, toilets and baths.

Walking to the door of the restaurant, Xiao Er, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, still politely said "Hello Fourth Master" to Qian Jin, and when he saw the young man who followed Qian Jin, because he didn't know his name, he just nodded or simply ignored it. Anyway, the boy who walked with his head down never cared.

After the two entered the restaurant, the position of the two became that the young man was in front, and Qian Jin followed behind with a swagger following with the steps that the six relatives did not recognize.

From the first floor to the seventh floor, when walking this long staircase, looking at the back of the straight young man in front of her, Qian Jin's mind always remembered the personal experience that someone had told her, and a truth summed up from that personal experience: everything between people is mutual.

Thinking that the young man who usually follows behind him has always refused to talk to himself, he must still be not enough to his "mutuality".

Just when Qian Jin was thinking wildly, the two had reached the staircase on the seventh floor, because this floor was a gambling house, and the people who came and went were also mixed, so when the boy arrived, he always tried his best to separate the crowd for Qian Jin.

When the boy did this for the first time, Qian Jin stood on tiptoe, patted the boy on the shoulder and said: "This is what the shopkeeper and the guard only do, since I, Qian Laosi, call you a brother, I really treat you as a brother, and there is no need to do this in the future." ”

However, so many days have passed, and it seems that her words have not had any effect.

When walking past the young man, Qian Jin smiled and raised his fist on the young man's stomach, and punched him in a gesture, and the young man also cooperated to make an extremely painful expression, but from beginning to end, the young man did not say a word.

The dedication square on the seventh floor of the Tongyi Restaurant is the largest gambling house in Xile Town. Since it opened, the casino has been overcrowded.

Although it is now the time to hold the lights, there are still a considerable number of men and women gathered in the very center of the gambling house.

The two of them walked unhurriedly past the shouting crowd along the wall on the right, towards the little-known room in the innermost part of the gambling house.

The room was so strategically designed that if you entered and closed the door, the deafening sound of the deafening people outside the door who seemed to have a wild beast living in their bodies when they howled, was isolated from the door.

And the most interesting thing is that this room is facing the window in the center of the gambling house, the gauze of the pasted window is made of a special material, when you look into this room from the outside, it reflects the light, and the situation inside the room is not clear at all, and when you look out from the inside of the house, it is completely different, except for the sound of those people outside, any other movements, expressions, but can not escape the eyes of the people in the room.

"Alas······"

As soon as the two entered the door, Qian Jin threw himself down on the couch in the middle of the room.

And the boy was still standing straight to the side as he had been outside.

Qian Jin didn't speak, she lay on the couch and stretched her limbs as hard as she could, her mouth made a comfortable chirp, and after writhing like a snake that was not so flexible for a while, she straightened up, straightened her clothes, and then moved to the side of the couch.

The straight young man who had been standing there saw that the set of "Qian's martial arts" after Qian Jin entered the door was finally over, so he walked to the couch and sat down.

Qian Jin looked blankly at the crazy crowd outside the window for a while, and asked, "Hey, I said brother, are you hungry?"

The boy replied with a blank face and an "um".

Qian Jin smiled, raised his hands and stretched out his waist, lowered his hand to pull a white rope next to the couch, and said to the young man: "Wait for a while, the delicious food will be delivered immediately." ”

With that, she lay on the couch with her back back, put her hands on top of her head, and pressed her head with a few fingers alternately.

The boy sat honestly next to him all the time.

When Qian Jin was happy, he suddenly put down his hands, sat up straight, and stared at the noisy crowd outside the screen window. In that crowd there was a woman with a small figure, a sweet appearance, and an outstanding temperament, wearing a red dress. After staring at the woman for a long time, Qian Jin muttered quietly, "When did she come back?"

Just as Qian Jin was thinking about something to the woman in the red dress outside the window, there were two unhurried knocks outside the door. Hearing the knock on the door, the young man hurriedly stood up, walked to the door in two steps, opened the door, and saw a man in short clothes standing outside the door, and the man was still holding a tray in his hand.

The young man took the tray in the little second-hand hand, turned around and walked back, put the food on it one by one on the table in the middle of the room, then turned around and returned the empty tray to the little two who were standing outside the door, closed the door casually, walked to the table and sat down.

Although the meals on this table were delivered by the waiter of the Tongyi Restaurant, these meals were not made by the chef of the Tongyi Restaurant, and it could be seen from the plates that these dishes were made in a small restaurant across the street.

The meal is extremely simple, two bowls of white rice, one hot meat dish, and one cold vegetarian dish.

"Brother, I'm sorry, the meal is relatively simple, just make do with two bites. ”

As usual, before eating, Qian Jin first had to apologize to the teenager for the singleness of the meal.

In fact, every time he heard Qian Jin say these words, the boy wanted to tell her that he was very satisfied now compared to the days before he met her, who lived by picking up things from the garbage heap all day long.

The young man picked up the rice on the table with an expressionless face, took a big bite into his mouth, and then said vaguely: "If you feel sorry, why don't you give me something complicated?" After speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Qian Jin, who just wanted to move the chopsticks, was stunned for a moment when he heard the young man say this, then picked up the chopsticks in his hand and gently knocked on the top of the young man's head, laughed and said: "Okay, kid, when I said this before, you never grabbed the chopsticks and ate them as if you hadn't heard them, today, what's going on?" ”

The young man's movement of picking up rice in his mouth slowed down a little, and when he was thinking about whether to ask who "that guy" was, Qian Jin picked up the chopsticks, put a chopstick vegetarian dish in his mouth, and said while chewing slowly: "Child, there is no way to do it this year, wait until next year." If you still follow me next year, brother, I promise you that I will take you to eat the best food, wear the best clothes, and find the most beautiful girl······"

After speaking, Qian Jin glanced at the clothes on his body with a disgusted face, sighed deeply, and said, "Alas······ You're going to have to live like this with me this year. Let's just take a moment, and those days will soon pass. ”

The young man couldn't tell whether Qian Jin's last sentence was comforting him or himself, but he felt that her habit did not give the answer to the question in his heart before, on the contrary, buried more questions.

Despite this, the boy decided not to ask, because he knew that the answers to these questions, if Qian Jin wanted him to know, would eventually tell him.

In the following time, unexpectedly, Qian Jin never said a word again, only heard the sound of the two of them chewing food.

The boy found that today's Qian Jin seemed to be a little different from the past, and this feeling had been felt since Qian Jin stared at the woman in the red dress outside the window.

After dinner, the young man put aside the empty plates and bowls on the table, picked up the teapot on the side of the table, and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Qian Jin, who had been staring out the window and had an expressionless face, suddenly laughed, moved the stool, sat down next to the young man affectionately, bumped him with his shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, brother, did you see it?"

"See what?"

The young man craned his neck to look at the noisy people outside the window, and asked suspiciously.

Qian Jin smiled but did not speak, only stretched out a finger and pointed out the window. The young man looked in the direction of her finger, but saw that at the table in the middle of the gambling house, the woman in the red dress was talking excitedly, and beside the woman, there was a man in black standing, the man was bowing his head, listening carefully to the girl's words, looking at the appearance of the two, the man seemed to be the girl's personal guard.

"Did you see that man, the one standing next to the little lady in the red dress?"

The boy nodded, "Hmm".

"I have decided, no matter who you originally called, I will call you 'Assi' from now on. Qian Jin said excitedly.

"For······ What?"

The young man asked in surprise, he really couldn't keep up with Qian Jin's leapfrog thinking, so he had to have an answer.

Qian Jin looked at the young man with a serious face and replied, "Because that man's name is Adong." ”

The young man was even more puzzled, and he looked at Qian Jin with puzzled eyes.

Qian Jin had no choice but to explain: "Don't you think you two are very similar?"

"I don't think so. ”

"However, I think you two are very similar, if you look closely at the clothes on your bodies, the most important thing is the hairstyle of the two of you, it is so similar, it is like carving out of a mold. ”

After saying this call, Qian Jin smacked his lips unsatisfied, and seemed to be quite satisfied with his discovery.

The young man stared out the window at the thin man with his hair scattered and named "Adong", looked and looked, and then fell into deep thought.

"I'll go out for a while. ”

After a long time, the boy said such a sentence and left the room.

When he came back, his loose hair was tied high behind his head, and he was much more energetic at once.

"Look, it's much more pleasing to the eye now. ”

Listening to Qian Jin's words, the young man's face became a little crimson.

"But," Qian Jin's words suddenly changed: "Even if you tie up your hair now, it won't change the fact that you are called 'Axi'." ”

Asi, a young man who had just had a name, sighed helplessly, thinking to himself that it seemed that he would try to accept this name in the future.

For a long time for the next part, neither of them spoke, just drinking tea and thinking about their own thoughts.

"Do you know who she is?"

I don't know how long it took, Qian Jin asked such a question in a low voice.

Assi followed her gaze and found that she had been staring at the woman in the red dress outside the window, and knew that she must be asking about the identity of the woman, so he shook his head.

"She's the eldest lady. ”

Lady?

The boy began to think about another question that Qian Jin threw at him.

Suddenly, a bell jingled next to the couch behind them, and both of them came back to their senses at once.

"Axi, brother, I still have something to do, go first, and you go to bed early to rest. ”

After the bell stopped ringing, Qian Jin said this, got up and opened the door and walked out.

The figure of Qian Jin outside the window disappeared in a flash, and the young man looked back at the bell next to the couch, and when he turned back again, he saw from the window that the woman in the red dress in the crowd also got up and walked in the direction of the staircase.

Assi picked up the teacup in his hand, drank the tea in the cup, and thought to himself, it's so late, I should go back to my room to rest.
