Mountains and seas have a home

A trace of panic flashed across Bai Zhu's face, but she quickly calmed down again. She closed the box solemnly as she did when she came here, ignored the crooked chopsticks, turned around and took out the candle stuck on the wall, and walked up to stairs.

The candle suddenly shook violently, flickering on and off in the dark corridor, causing Bai Zhu's shadow to shake around.She stretched out her hand to protect the flame. The candle was already very short, but it hadn't been replaced for some reason. When it burned, it gave off a grass-like aroma, just like the fields after the spring rain.

When it reached the ground, the flame was extinguished in an instant, Bai Zhu looked at the smoking candle, and breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, rustling conversations suddenly came from outside the flower room, someone was walking towards this side, Bai Zhu turned the candle back to its original place, and scooped up a ladle of water to water the flowers.

The butler came in with his helpers to clean, saw Bai Zhu inside, and nodded his head to say hello to her.Bai Zhu looked at the two helpers, without saying a word, poured water into the flower pot lightly, and asked the housekeeper about his daily work.

"From today onwards, if the flowers here are withered or dead, you don't need to replace them, just place them as they are, and don't worry about the others." Bai Zhu said to the housekeeper, she inspected the greenhouse and put the wooden scoop by the window.

The housekeeper didn't understand the meaning of Bai Zhu's move, but she didn't dare to ask more. In this villa, everyone has to listen to Mrs. Bai.After she agreed wholeheartedly, she winked at the two helpers, which happened to be caught by Bai Zhu.

"Are these two newcomers?"

"Yes madam, it's Chinese New Year now, the previous ones have all gone home, so I had to find two more."

"Have you said all the rules?"

"As I said, after two days of teaching, every corner has been cleaned up."

Although Bai Zhu asked about this matter, her eyes never stayed on the two new servants. She picked up the Sophora japonica flowers dried in summer from the window sill, smelled them, gave a few more careful instructions, and left greenhouse.

"This is Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Xu's granddaughter-in-law. Now she is the head of the family. If she tells you that you have to clean up where you can't go, you must listen carefully!"

The two helpers nodded, they were full of doubts, the owner of the villa is surnamed Ji, why is this granddaughter-in-law called Mrs. Bai?

But this is not their problem. After the housekeeper left, they began to sweep the flower room, picking up the fallen petals and wrapping them in handkerchiefs.

Bai Zhu came to the front hall, under the golden light, the guests were talking and laughing happily.A black car was parked under the pine tree outside the villa. Someone got out of the car, with silver-white hair, holding an umbrella to block the snow.He looked up at the door of the villa, paused for three seconds, and then raised his leg to enter.

"Dad." Bai Zhu walked down the steps to greet her, and the old man in a black suit and windbreaker reached out to hug her.

This is Bai Lingqiu, the Patriarch of the Bai family.He combed his hair well, his face was already wrinkled, but his spirit was still hale and hearty.Maybe it's a gene passed down from generation to generation in the Bai family. This Patriarch also has a pair of tails and long eyebrows.

Ji Yao's long eyebrows are inherited from his mother's lineage. He once looked in the mirror, and his facial features resembled his father's, and his expression resembled his mother's. Maybe it was those long eyebrows that made him look stern and gentle.

Bai Lingqiu and Bai Zhu walked into the brightly lit front hall together, he asked his wife's recent situation in a low voice, Bai Zhu expressed a little regret that his wife did not want to show up, Bai Lingqiu sighed and said no more.

"Grandson still refuses to come back?" Bai Lingqiu took a sip of wine and asked about Ji Yao.

Bai Zhu obviously didn't want to answer this question, she turned around and leaned against the open window, and said in an indifferent tone: "It's not up to us seniors to decide whether to come back or not."

Holding the wine glass, Bai Lingqiu looked at the distant mountains of Daxing'an Mountains, and said calmly for a long while, "So he is still on the old road?"

Bai Zhu said nothing.

"The Bai family quit a long time ago, because of your dead sister." Bai Lingqiu said, "Only the few remaining families are still staring at this matter. How many years have passed, and they are the ones who are going around in time. personal."

After the hale and hearty old man finished speaking, he snorted coldly, as if taunting mercilessly, and then asked about Bai Yuan's affairs, Bai Zhu said, "Bai Yuan's tomb is in Beijing, and the Gu family often sent people to take care of it."

Bai Lingqiu was obviously very satisfied with this son-in-law, he glanced at the daughter beside him, Bai Zhu was listening to the piano silently.Bai Lingqiu knew that Bai Zhu was thinking about Ji Songlin, but after years passed, the old man had turned into a deserted mound, and it was useless to talk more.

Ji Yao sat on the hospital bed facing the morning light, and he could see the continuous snow-capped mountains through the still steamy windows, with the snow-tops gleaming.His wound had just been stitched up, and the doctor carefully bandaged him.

"When is Zhu Min coming?" Ji Yao asked.

The sweaty doctor shivered and said, "It will probably take a while. He should be included in the reserve team."

Ji Yao hummed, waved the doctor away, and said flatly: "Zhu Min is here and ask him to report to me immediately. Don't say anything else, especially to the person next door."

Fu Zhong was next to Ji Yao, and two doctors were treating the wounds on the back of his hand and abdomen, and cleaning up the snake venom for him.

"Okay, Chief, I promise I won't say another word." The doctor wiped off the sweat from his forehead and nodded his promise.Ji Yao sat in the sunlight that came in, holding her hands together without speaking, and the doctor quickly left the ward.

Fu Zhong looked down at the doctor's operation, and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, can you hurry up a little?"

The doctor raised his eyelids to look at him, put down the needle in his hand slowly, and said, "You have asked me four times, and I said, what are you in a hurry for? There is nothing going on outside, you don't need to rush to fight."

Fighting against your sister, I'm going to see my boyfriend.

Fu Zhong bit his lip and said nothing, lowered his eyebrows to look at the doctor's hand, almost staring at the doctor's hand.Xiao Zhuoming was leaning on the cabinet next to him to record the data, and felt a gaze coming towards him, and he raised his eyes to meet Fu Zhong's gaze.

She stopped the pen in her hand, and she could see the meaning in Fu Zhong's eyes at a glance.With a provocative smile on the corner of Xiao Zhuoming's mouth, he turned and went out, shaking the folder.

Whocare.

Fu Zhong was furious.

Xiao Zhuoming came in after a while, but she was not alone.Ji Yao came in from the door with a clean coat on. The bloody wounds on his body were washed clean, and his eyebrows and eyes were still bright.

Just as Fu Zhong was about to stand up, the doctor next to him suddenly held him down, warned him not to move, and saluted Ji Yao.Fu Zhong couldn't understand the doctor's behavior very much. He pursed his lips and watched Ji Yao put on his glasses in the sun, and looked away at the mountain outside the window as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Zhuoming moved a soft chair to Fu Zhong's side, and helped Ji Yao to sit down.Ji Yao glanced at Fu Zhong quietly, then quickly lowered his eyes, sat down beside him with red ears, and tapped the floor unnaturally with his toes.

"Hello chief, why did the chief come here suddenly? Is the injury on the chief's body healed? Is it still hurting?" Fu Zhong asked him a lot of questions.

Ji Yao raised his hands and looked up at him. Concerned about the presence of outsiders, he could only pretend to be serious: "I'm fine, thank you for missing me. I heard that Dr. Xiao said you really want to see me, so I came here."

Fu Zhong suddenly exploded into fireworks with a bang, he looked at Xiao Zhuoming, Xiao Zhuoming was biting the cap of his pen to write, still smiling provocatively, and then went out with the folder.

When I went to the clothes, I learned the name and the name.

There was a doctor next to them, and suddenly the two of them couldn't find anything to say, Fu Zhong urged the doctor for the fifth time, this time with Chief Ji around, the doctor finally sped up his hand.Ji Yao turned to ask the doctor about Fu Zhong's injury, it was like a superior caring for a subordinate, as pale as a spring.

After the last step was completed, the doctor packed up the blood-stained equipment, took off his gloves and stood aside: "Do not touch the wound with water, do not exercise strenuously in the near future, and do not repeat the injury until you recover..."

Ji Yao raised his hand to stop the doctor's words, turned his face to calmly let the doctor leave first, the wounded need to rest.Xiao Zhuoming came in at the right time, knocked on the door, and called the doctor to fetch bullets for another wounded man.

"Where are the wounded?" Outside the door, the doctor asked nervously.

Xiao Zhuoming laughed, and walked to the other side with his pocket: "Except for this room, there are wounded everywhere.

The doctor didn't understand her.

Fu Zhong waited for the door to close before he said, "Is Xiao Zhuoming helping us?"

Ji Yao moved the chair a little under the light, stretched her long legs and smiled: "I think she seems to understand very well, including when she called me just now, I don't think you can just tell her directly that you miss me .”

"Sure enough, the chief is aware of the details." Fu Zhong said, he opened the curtains and looked down at the vast grassland, "Nothing can escape your eyes."

Suddenly an eagle passed by the window, with a ring of snow-white feathers around its wings, shiny and solid.It circled around the coordinate instrument several times, and then flapped its wings and flew into the higher sky.A large number of birds flew across the sky, singing like raindrops.

Ji Yao took off the giant eagle tree badge on his chest, raised his hand, and squinted to see the light beam passing through the hollow, and the eagle's wings were plated with gold.

His face was very peaceful, with the Sisai egret and the flowing peach blossoms from Nanshan on the corner of his lips.

"The emblem of the executive department is very beautiful." Fu Zhong raised his hand to cover the sun, and suddenly there was a sense of awe and admiration in his deep eyes.

Ji Yao put down his hand, pulled aside the curtains on one side, leaned over and kissed the corner of Fu Zhong's mouth, the curtains blocked the skylight, and also blocked their small movements.Ji Yao kissed several times before letting go. He sat back and rubbed the heavy metal in his hand.

"One of the reasons why I joined the executive department," Ji Yao said, "is because of it. When I was young, my father took me to the Mongolian grasslands. He pointed to the eagle in the sky and said that the eagle is the descendant of Kunpeng. Every man should be like an eagle, sharp, strong, and not afraid of death."

Fu Zhong listened to his leisurely narration, and the eagle struck the sky in his vision.Ji Yao continued in a steady tone: "That's why I told you just now that I am the commander and I must stand on the front line. Death is inevitable, and we don't need to be afraid of it."

"The chief said before that when I encounter danger, I should not rush forward. I should protect myself first, and then worry about the safety of others."

Ji Yao smiled and pulled his neck, kissed his forehead, and said softly: "I said that to you, you are different from me, you don't have to bear so much, you must remember, Other people's lives are not as important as mine, including mine."

Fu Zhong reached out and hugged him into his arms, the sunlight outside illuminated half of Fu Zhong's chest, Ji Yao buried his head on his chest, and heard his unquestionable voice: "Your life is as important as mine."

Ji Yao laughed, and after a while he said: "0578, you are talking back to the chief again."

The two sat by the window watching the scenery, the bloody before dawn had gone away from them.Fu Zhong asked about Ji Yao's snake group, Ji Yao told him about the battle situation at that time, and finally said: "The three-headed snake has been attacking me, as if it came to kill me on purpose."

"How could that be?" Fu Zhong kissed the tip of his hair, "How could the monster from 46 billion years ago know you? It just wanted to kill people. When it shoots people, it shoots horses first, and when it captures thieves, it captures the king first. So it stares at you as soon as it comes. put."

"I hope so too, I don't want to have anything to do with them." Ji Yao leaned against Fu Zhong, he was a little tired, and his legs were even weaker.

Fu Zhong hugged him a little closer, massaged his tired legs, and said, "Is the creature that killed the giant snake the one we met in the mountains? Its eyes are like flames, and it is so huge that it is unimaginable." body."

"It's far away and it's raining heavily, so I'm not sure. But it's similar, and the snakes seem to be very afraid of it."

"Why did it come to save us?"

"It didn't come to save us. It came to fight the three-headed giant snake. As for us, it doesn't matter to it at all."

Fu Zhong recalled the mythical scene at dawn, with black clouds overwhelming the mountains, lightning and thunder, and these could only become the background of "it".

"Chief, do we need to leave here? This grassland is very dangerous."

Ji Yao shook his head, closed his eyes to feel the warmth seeping into his hair, and said: "That thing has been here once, and it is obviously an extremely domineering king, so I don't think other evil objects will come out for the time being. very safe."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fu Zhong smelled the aroma of his hair, just after washing off the blood stains, when the sun shone, the mud melted into the flying swallows, and the sand warmed the mandarin ducks.

"Professor Geng hasn't finished the detection yet? I remember you said yesterday that there is still a mountain."

Fu Zhong nodded: "Indeed, I planned to go again today. That mountain is very strange. The professor's equipment always fails, so we have to go up the mountain on foot."

"What's the reason? Is there a magnetic field disorder area like Chita?"

"It is indeed very similar, including my plane, the instrument panel failed, and it returned to normal after flying a kilometer or two. Professor Geng also doubted it, but he was not sure. I can't fly the plane today, and the chief has arranged for another person to take them there. Bar."

Ji Yao looked at Fu Zhong's hand, gave him pain, and joked a few words: "I think you said you can't fly a plane because you want to get tired of being with me?"

"I really have this idea. The chief needs to rest, and I want to accompany you." Fu Zhong said, "But I really can't fly the plane anymore. If something goes wrong, the chief will blame me again."

Ji Yao scratched his hair and said: "I'm just teasing you, how could you let you go up like this. I have already arranged for the others, so you can take a good rest. When you recover from your injury, take me outside to fly for a while." Circle, it's beautiful."

Fu Zhong kissed his lips.

Two gray sparrows landed on the edge of the window. They stretched out their fluffy wings and looked inside with their bright eyes.A slightly larger gray bird stretched out its wings to protect its companions, and they jumped outside the window, chirping non-stop.

A loving sparrow couple.

Fu Zhong looked at it for a while, pointed at the two restless little things, and said in Ji Yao's ear, "Do those two gray sparrows look like the two of us?"

Ji Yao looked at it and smiled, maybe it was the gray bird's chubby body that amused him, he rubbed Fu Zhong's chin, and said, "The big one is me, and the one next to it is you."

"Why?"

"Because I'm older than you."

Ji Yao paused, feeling that the sentence was ambiguous, and hurriedly added: "Three years old."

He stretched out three fingers in front of Fu Zhong, looked at his eyes under his long eyebrows, Fu Zhong smiled and helped him push the broken hair from his sideburns behind his ears, and remained silent.Ji Yao's ears turned red suddenly, he put his hands back and leaned back on the chair, and touched the floor with the tip of his shoe.

"Does your waist still hurt?" Fu Zhong asked, the gray bird was still flying up and down outside the window, its wings seemed to be fluttering.

When Ji Yao was asked such a question, his already red ears became even redder and hotter, obviously remembering the joy of last night.He stepped on Fu Zhong's foot lightly, and said: "It still hurts, next time it will be lighter, don't do it all the time."

They clasped their fingers together, and Ji Yao leaned his head on Fu Zhong's shoulder, watching the sun rise higher and higher together, and the clouds and smoke in the middle of the snow-capped mountains occasionally gather and disperse.The two gray sparrows flew away with fluttering wings, flying into the high and distant universe.

They are very happy.

On New Year's Eve, He Luan went to the special training base of the Time Bureau in Dongcheng, Beijing to pick up Chen Wei for training. It was still early, and he took off his clothes and stepped on the treadmill to start running, with a heart rate counter attached to his forehead.

After running fifteen kilometers, Chen Wei had already sat on the crossbar beside him and waited for him for a few minutes.He Luan wiped off his sweat with a towel, wandered around for a few times, and then sat down next to Chen Wei.

"Are you here to pick me up or am I to pick you up?" Chen Wei handed him warm water, holding He Luan's clothes in his arms, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, you see everyone else has left, and I'm the only one left it's here."

He Luan leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and said, "You are the only one left, am I still here?"

Chen Wei shook him with a handkerchief, and pouted his lips: "Put on your clothes quickly, it's very cold, you're going to catch a cold. Did you check your heartbeat just now? Is it normal?"

"Normal." He Luan took a sip of water and nodded, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. I'm leaving for Tibet tomorrow, so how could something go wrong with me."

"Today is New Year's Eve." Chen Wei said suddenly looking at the snow outside the window, where neon lights were shining.

He Luan got dressed, and the neon light shone on half of his face through the window. He breathed out towards the window, turned his head and smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat? Where do you want to go? It's the last day in Beijing. Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"I want to eat ice cream from Kaifeng, the kind with strawberry jam." Chen Wei replied almost without thinking, "I've thought about banning us from eating these things during training, and today I want a cup no matter what. "

Chen Wei lost a little weight. With high-intensity training and fasting, the three-dimensional facial features on his face became more angular.

He Luan bought ice cream for Chen Wei, and he shivered as he ate it wrapped in a fur-collared padded jacket. Sometimes he would feed He Luan a spoon. He Luan looked at the crowd on the street, hesitated, and swallowed it.

Coming out of Chen Wei's favorite noodle shop, Chen Wei went to the supermarket and bought some things, which he put in a black bag.He Luan asked him what he bought, but Chen Wei skipped and didn't tell him.

"Where else do you want to go?" He Luan asked.

Chen Wei thought for a while, looked at the tall buildings, and said, "Let's go to the riverside, it's very quiet there, and you can see Beicheng on the other side of the river."

The riverside was much colder than the high-rise neighborhood, He Luan tightened his camel hair scarf.A park has been built by the river, the lights are on, and snow has covered the garden.Chen Wei looked at the tall buildings on the other side from the wooden platform facing the water, and the bright lights were reflected in the river.

"I lived in this area ten years ago. At that time, this area was still wasteland, and there were no parks. It was full of tidal flats, and there were some small piers and fisheries factories." He Luan pointed around and showed Chen Wei, "Over there There used to be a dam, but it was also torn down later.”

Chen Wei listened to He Luan's talk about the changes on both sides of the river. He leaned on the railing and smiled, occasionally talking about He Luan's past, Chen Wei also tried to keep his tone light.

At the end, Chen Wei raised his chin to look at the lights in the distance, watched the white light of the spider web explode, and said, "I'm leaving here tomorrow, and I feel a little bit reluctant, just like I leave my hometown when I go to university."

"It must have snowed in Hangzhou too. I watched TV two days ago, and Hangzhou suffered from low temperatures."

"There is no winter and summer in my hometown, and there is no spring and autumn."

"Go to Hangzhou when I come back from Tibet. I will go back with you. I hope there will still be snow on the broken bridge at that time, and the plum blossoms will not wither."

They kissed in the snow, no one was walking around, the reflection of fireworks suddenly exploded in the water, warm voices came from the other side, and the riverside was lit up with lights.

Back in the dormitory, He Luan was about to take a shower. Chen Wei put the black bag on the bedside, and took out a box of things and a bottle of liquid from it.Just as He Luan was about to enter the bathroom, someone hugged him from behind suddenly, and he turned around in shock. Chen Wei, who had changed into pajamas, was looking up at him.

Chen Wei put his hand on He Luan's chest, holding a small square blue package between his fingers, a ring could be vaguely seen.

"Shall we take a bath together?" Chen Wei asked him.
