I was so frightened that I froze in place.

Mo Qi ran over panting from a distance, and couldn't help being startled when she saw the person lying on the ground.

"Qin Wen?" His voice was a little fluttering, "What... what's going on?"

I panicked and couldn't speak clearly, and I even gave a rough account of the matter with gestures and words.

Mo Qi stared at the people on the ground, and asked for a while, "Is it you?"

I nodded.

"This is a gendarmerie captain, what are you doing!" He took a big step towards me.

When I heard it, it was like a thunderbolt, and I stared at him blankly.

Mo Qi thought for a while and said, "Give me your qinpa."

I dug it out of the bag and handed it to him.

Mo Qi squatted down and wiped the handle of the knife carefully with a qin handkerchief.Then he stood beside the man, bent down and held the handle of the knife with both hands.

I was shocked: "You can't..."

"Hush," Mo Qi turned her head and glanced at me, "Don't make any noise." Then she pulled the knife out of the corpse's chest with both hands.

Blood sprayed all over him, and the night wind was filled with the smell of blood.

I hurried over: "Mo Qi!"

Mo Qi kicked the qinpa on the ground: "I have a lighter in my jacket pocket, take it out and light it."

My hands trembled and I failed to light it several times.

Mo Qi threw the knife on the ground, came over and asked me to put the lighter in his hand, reached out and picked up the qin handkerchief and lit it: "Don't touch that handkerchief, and don't touch me either. You've got blood on your body too, take it off Burned."

I looked down and saw that my front collar and cuffs were splashed with blood, dotted with dots, and I knew there was definitely something wrong at first glance.

"Take off the outer gown." Mo Qi glanced at me quickly.

I looked at Mo Qi and was stunned at a loss.

"Hurry up!" Mo Qi lowered her voice with urgency, "Go back and cry and make up a lie. No one will verify what everyone has done to you!"

I woke up like a dream, quickly put the piano aside, took off my long gown and handed it to him, and then stayed on the side again.

Mo Qi took the clothes, held the knife in her hand, kicked the ashes left by the qinpa against the corner with her foot, sighed and said to me: "Go back, you haven't seen me today."

"Mo Qi!" I immediately understood what he meant, and stretched out my hand to grab him, "One person is responsible for the other, I will surrender myself to the police station! Don't do anything stupid."

Mo Qi hugged her things, looked at me and smiled, then turned around and avoided my hands: "Don't get blood on... that's fine, don't meddle in these things, and think about how to smooth things out on the way back."

"Mo Qi!"

"I'll look for you at the theater tomorrow, hurry back." He winked at me, turned and left.

I sat in my room until dawn, and I couldn't get the man's staring eyes out of my eyes.Every time there was a slight disturbance in the window, I thought it was Mo Qi who came.After going back and forth like this five or six times, I couldn't sit still anymore, so I stood directly at the window and waited.

But Mo Qi didn't come, and he didn't see anyone for three or four days.

I was so anxious, but I had nowhere to ask. Finally, after playing the piano once, I ran into a little brother whom I knew fairly well and asked him where Mo Qi had gone.

"Brother Mo...he committed something." Guard Liu hesitated a little, "Maybe he will come out in a few days."

come out?What's the meaning?

"What's wrong with him?" I pulled Guard Liu to the corner, asked him in a low voice, and stuffed a silver ingot into his hand.

Liu Jingwei hurriedly pushed the spindle back into my hand: "Xiao Qin, we don't like this kind of thing, who has been like this with you these years! It's just that this time Brother Mo's matter is really troublesome."

He looked around, but no one was watching, and then he whispered to me: "Brother Mo followed the commander in chief to investigate a murder case, and lost the physical evidence. Now the case cannot be closed, and the commander in chief is on fire."

"Physical evidence?" I was surprised.

"That's right, the one who died this time was a captain of the gendarmerie, a powerful man. The gendarmerie has been grabbing some important people in the capital. Brother Mo has caused a big disaster now."

My mind turned sharply: "Where is he!"

"You still have to go to see him, you don't want to die!" Liu Jingwei hurriedly said to me.

"Brother Liu, please do me a favor." I pulled him and begged.

"This is beyond my control."

I thought for a while: "Where is he? I'll find a way to get in by myself so as not to implicate Brother Liu."

Guard Liu frowned and thought for a long time, then sighed and said, "No one can do anything about you. The guard may be familiar with one of my brothers. Don't run around by yourself. I'll help you look."

A few days later, Guard Liu finally asked me to put on the guard's clothes and go in for a while.

I thankfully followed in, and Guard Liu guarded the door for me.

Mo Qi was alone in the innermost cell.He was lying on his stomach in a pile of hay, his back was torn from the beating, and his face was turned away from me.

I gently opened the door, squatted beside him and called him.

Mo Qi turned her head and propped up her upper body.He was pleasantly surprised for a moment and then frowned: "Why are you here? How did you come in!"

"Hush," I whispered, "Brother Liu helped me, when will you come out?"

"How can you come here!" Mo Qi whispered, with a little eagerness in her tone, "You go back and play your piano peacefully, can't you wait for me to find you?"

I looked at him and said nothing.

Mo Qi lowered his tone: "I've taken care of those things, don't worry." He paused, smiled at me again, and said lightly in his tone: "It's okay, Xiao Qin, brother will be locked up for two days at most, and you will be locked up. I went out when my anger subsided. When I go out, I should take you to Shichahai, where the autumn is so beautiful, let me tell you..."

The strings in my heart suddenly broke, and I couldn't help holding his face with both hands, and covered his lips with my own.

The room was silent.

We were so close, Mo Qi looked at me with wide eyes.I could clearly see my own eyes reflected in his eyes.

This kiss was shallow and direct, with only fear and worry in it, and a little bit of grievance, nothing else.I sucked him almost desperately.

Until I bit his lip, the smell of blood woke me up.

I hurriedly let go of him, took a step back, and looked at Mo Qi nervously.

Mo Qi was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared in his eyes.He stretched out his hand towards me: "Xiao Qin, come here."

I didn't move, I stretched out my right hand.

With all his might, he pulled me a step forward.I lost my balance and fell in a pile of hay on the ground with the tip of my nose right in his cheek.

Mo Qi turned her head, with inexplicable banter in her eyes.He lightly clasped the back of my head with his hand, and whispered in my ear: "I'll teach you."

It turned out that his kiss was like this, which made people spin dizzy, ambiguously full of temptation, wanted to escape but couldn't bear to leave.My mind went blank, I forgot where I was today and what night.There is only his taste in my eyes and in my heart, which is so strong that I can't get rid of it.I want to hold him dizzy like this until the end of my life.

Guard Liu knocked on the door in a low voice and urged: "Xiao Qin, it's time to go!"

Mo Qi let me go, and before I could say anything, she kissed my ear lightly again: "Go back and be good, wait for me to find you."

I looked at him: "Be careful too, don't confront Dutong head-on."

Mo Qi smiled and waved her hands: "If you don't worry about losing your hair, let's go."

I opened the door and looked back at him, Mo Qi was still smiling at me.I became cruel, turned around and followed Guard Liu.

It was three months later that I saw Mo Qi again. I heard that the gendarmerie killed the Dutong's subordinates again, and the two sides evened out.The governor beat Mo Qi repeatedly and let him go because of his diligence and thrift.

When Mo Qi told me this, it was Tieguanyin who was sitting opposite me and poured me a cup of tea.I haven't seen him for three months, and he has lost a lot of weight.

"Now you can rest assured that everything will be fine."

I took the tea, glanced at him, and said after deliberation: "Mo Qi, thanks to you this time, you have suffered such a great crime."

Mo Qi took my hand, the palm was hot, and there was a smile in her voice: "So repaying twice is probably not enough?"

I kicked him under the chair.

Mo Qi smiled and took me up from the chair, put her arms around my waist, and pulled me closer.His breath is close at hand, lingering on the tip of my nose.

Mo Qi looked into my eyes and said very slowly: "Qin Wen, I like you, I have liked you since the first time I saw you."

"You are as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, and you play the piano so well. Every time I watch you play the piano, I feel like I've gone to heaven and become a fairy."

His hand caressed my lips: "You are so nice, I really want to take you back and lock you up, no one will see you."

I laughed out loud: "That's not a circle. If you lock me up, I will hate you."

Mo Qi looked at me, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "You're a wanderer, how can I stop you?"

I raised my eyes: "Using allusions indiscriminately again, 'The garden is full of spring scenery', I am not your little wife."

There was a smile on the corner of Mo Qi's mouth, he took a sip of tea, leaned over to put it in my mouth, his mouth was full of sweetness.

Two years later, I had saved enough money and said goodbye to Boss Cheng.From now on, I will not go to other people's homes to play the piano with the theater, but only open the show for others to listen to.

The night before leaving, Mo Qi stayed with me.He held me in his arms, with his left arm around my body, his chest pressed against my back with sweat, and I could hear his heartbeat that hadn't slowed down.He put his chin on the side of my neck and blew on my earlobe every now and then.

I tickled, and reached out to press him.

Mo Qi brushed away my sweaty bangs: "What are you thinking, you're absent-minded today."

I turned around and looked at him with my left hand propped up: "I will have to choose another name at the beginning of the show. I can't use Qin Wen. I haven't been able to figure out what to call. Uncle Cheng will ask tomorrow."

Mo Qi continued to pluck my hair, spread her five fingers, and combed it one by one: "Let me think about it."

"I've thought about Qin Jun, Qin Xuan, and Qin Yun, but I still don't think any of them are good."

"Qin Xian'er." Mo Qi said suddenly, "I have long said that you look like a fairy in a painting, isn't it appropriate to be called Qin Xian'er now?"

"Qin Xian'er, Xian'er..." I repeated it silently several times, and felt very agreeable, raised my eyes and smiled, "That's good, it's up to you."

I sat up, put on a piece of clothing, walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote the word "Qin Xian'er", picked it up and looked at it repeatedly, no matter how pleasing to the eye I looked at it.

Mo Qi didn't know when she came up behind me, put her arms around me, and quietly watched me write.

I wrote two, but he suddenly said, "We should put our names together."

I handed him the pen: "I write mine, you write yours."

Mo Qi said: "My handwriting is not good-looking, you write it."

I smiled and stuffed the pen into his hand, held his hand again, and stood beside him.Next to the word "Qin Xian'er", "Mo Qi" was neatly written.

I dragged him to write stroke by stroke, but Mo Qi's eyes fell on me, making me even blush.Just after finishing two pages, I put down my pen and looked up at him.

"Are we... married?" he asked suddenly.

I was taken aback, and couldn't help myself for a moment.

He gently pulled me over and hugged me, just a close hug, meaningless.

I heard him whispering in my ear: "Let's grow old, okay?"

Later, I thought, this is probably the only stable time in the ten years since Mo Qi and I have known each other.

Boss Cheng was very kind. Before leaving, he gave me thousands of instructions, and repeatedly said that I should come back and have a look.He asked the little boy He Ma who had been taking care of me in the theater to go with me, and he also gave me their deeds of sale, and sealed a thick red envelope for me, saying it was a little kindness.

When I was leaving, I bowed three times to Boss Cheng, the first kneeling for saving my life, the second kneeling for nurturing, and the third kneeling for Bole.In the end, I kowtowed to Boss Cheng and couldn't afford to kneel down. There is no way to repay my kindness.

Boss Cheng helped me up and pushed the others away.I know, he has something to tell me.

"Xiao Wen," Boss Cheng raised his eyes and asked me to sit down opposite him, "You are the child I grew up with, so I will tell you directly if I have something to say."

"Please."

Boss Cheng took a sip of tea before he said slowly: "There are many luthiers in our theater who are in their 40s and 22s, and they all feel safe and secure relying on this place. You are leaving at the age of [-], is it because of that guard?"

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Boss Cheng sighed: "Xiaowen, it's not that Uncle Cheng doesn't want you to be well, it's just that you have to leave a way out for yourself in everything."

I concealed the matter of the captain of the gendarmerie, and never told anyone, only said: "Uncle Cheng, I can trust Guard Mo."

Boss Cheng waved his hand: "Flowers are not as popular in a hundred days, and they are not as good as a lifetime, let alone what you are doing now, you have to think about what to do in the future."

I thought about it: "Probably he is on duty when I play the piano, so they rely on each other."

Boss Cheng took off his glasses and put them on the table, rubbing his eyes: "You kid, are you pretending to be confused? Do you remember who you are? The guards accompany the dignitaries, can you not get involved in trouble? If one day he messes with you What do you do if you get into trouble? What do you do when his troubles spread to you? "

I looked at Boss Cheng, and said very seriously: "Since Qin Wen has chosen, he will live and die together, advance and retreat together."

Boss Cheng slapped the table violently, causing his glasses to jump: "Bastard!"

I quickly knelt down: "Uncle Cheng calm down, it's my fault."

Boss Cheng didn't let me get up, he slapped the table and reprimanded me: "Xiaowen, you are very affectionate and kind-hearted. But your life is your own, you have to take it yourself, otherwise How can you be worthy of your father and husband! You can't ignore everything for others! Qin Wen, you have to remember it!"

I kowtowed again and again: "Qin Wen remembers Uncle Cheng's teachings."

After a while, Boss Cheng sighed and said, "Get up, get up, I haven't asked you to kneel once in these years, and don't kneel when you're at the end. Sigh, I don't know how much you listened to, I'll take you no way."

I kowtowed again before standing up: "I have written down what Uncle Cheng said."

"I won't mention it." Boss Cheng waved his hand and said, "If you go out by yourself, you can no longer use Qin Wen's name. You have to set up your own family and start a new name. Have you thought about it?"

"Think it over," I smiled, "It's called Qin Xian'er."

"Qin Xian'er?" Boss Cheng frowned.

I suppressed my smile: "What's the matter, Uncle Cheng?"

Boss Cheng didn't answer my words, just sighed and said, "Come back if you have anything to do, Uncle Cheng is waiting for you."

It was many years later that I understood Boss Cheng's unfinished words.The fairy is ethereal, the name is thin.
