The weather in Yulin Pass was getting colder and colder. As the end of the year was approaching, because it was the first Chinese New Year after successive years of fighting, the atmosphere in the city was extremely lively.

Li Changxing seemed to have forgotten to answer Dari'achi, and every time he was asked by Zhuo Yue, he always looked inscrutable and said with a smile that he was not in a hurry.He gets tired of being with Zhuo Yue every day, and seems to have completely forgotten that he still has a throne to inherit. Every day, he either huddles in the small kitchen to make delicious food for Zhuo Yue, or goes shopping with Zhuo Yue. cloth village.

Hearing that new materials were added to the cloth shop today, he dragged Zhuo Yue to have a look.

"Brother Zhuo," Li Changxing pulled a roll of pink material and gestured on his body, then turned his head and smiled at Zhuo Yue, "Do you think this color suits me?"

Zhuo Yue blushed, cleared his throat under the horrified eyes of the owner of Buzhuang, and answered vaguely.He was very embarrassed, standing awkwardly next to the door frame, neither leaning nor leaning.

And look at that kid Li Changxing, his skin is thicker than the base of the city wall.He turned a blind eye to the surprised gazes around him, picked up the fabrics on his own, and let Zhuo Yue taste them from time to time.

Although it was strange for a big man to pick all kinds of fabrics here, Li Changxing was tall, long-legged, and had a beautiful face. Even among the group of female customers around him, he was the most outstanding.Even the most gaudy peach red, when put on his white and creamy skin, has a somewhat seductive and seductive feeling.

"Brother." A good-natured old woman leaned over and tentatively said, "The one picking out the fabric over there—who are you?"

The corner of Zhuo Yue's mouth twitched.He could have ignored this talkative old woman, but he felt Li Changxing's eyes slowly turn behind him.

The veins on Zhuo Yue's forehead tensed, and he clenched his fists.

"He... is my roommate."

"You what?" The old woman was a little deaf.

Zhuo Yue turned his head abruptly, glared at her fiercely, and said harshly, "The person in my room! Do you hear me clearly! It's none of your business, go away!"

The old woman trembled with fright, and fled tremblingly away.

Li Changxing smiled "puchi", walked over to stop Zhuo Yue regardless of other people's eyes, and put his chin on his shoulder: "Sir, I'm done picking, it's up to you to pay the bill."

Zhuo Yue's face turned red when he was called "Xianggong".He didn't care if others knew about his relationship, but Li Changxing was a little too ostentatious.

"You dignified prince of Dari Achi, don't you even have money to buy cloth?" He hastily pulled out the money and threw it on the table, and dragged Li Changxing out of the cloth shop.

"I do." Li Changxing held the fabric in one hand and Zhuoyue in the other with a low smile, "But my husband-in-law bought it for me. The meaning is quite different."

Although Zhuo Yue was still a little awkward in his heart, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.

The two of them were not in a hurry to go back, but walked around the nearby market, and together they bought sheep melodies, fruits, persimmons, oranges and cypress branches to make a plate of "Baishiji". Zhuo Yue also carried a String firecrackers.Li Changxing hadn't passed the New Year's Eve, and he found everything sold in the market fresh. If he wanted to buy those big and small door gods, peach charms, Zhong Kui, and spring posts, Zhuo Yue had no choice but to follow him.

Both of them have no relatives, even if these red and festive things are bought, they can only decorate the inn where they live temporarily.But when they walked to the post station carrying these festive things in large and small bags, they suddenly felt as if they had a home.

"Brother Zhuo," Li Changxing called softly.

Zhuo Yue turned his head, but saw that under the red lanterns on the long street, the young man's fair and beautiful face was dazzled with a soft light.And he was full of red talisman gold paper, looking at him tenderly and smiling.

"I really want to have a home with you."

Zhuo Yue's heart softened suddenly, he laughed softly, and stretched out his hand to hold him.

"Will do."

After everything is over, they will definitely have a home, whether it is on the grassland or in the Central Plains.In the first half of their lives, they were homeless and their relatives and friends were betrayed, but they will be happy and complete for a long time after they can.

In order to coax the coquettish Li Changxing, Zhuo Yue had no choice but to buy him a sugar figurine, but when he was paying for it, Li Changxing poked his lower back: "Brother Zhuo, look."

When Zhuo Yue turned his head, he saw a figure in an alley not far away hurriedly turning the corner.

It was Guan Ximing.

But he saw a few red paper parcels in his hand, as if he was going to someone's home to give gifts, but his expression was extremely serious, and he didn't have the slightest joy of visiting relatives.

Li Changxing smiled slightly: "Brother Zhuo, do you want to sneak up and take a look?"

Zhuo Yue was stunned: "Why do you want to be sneaky? Wouldn't it be better to just go up and say hello to him?"

Li Changxing pulled him: "Brother Zhuo just listen to me."

The two walked lightly and quietly followed behind Guan Ximing, walking around the streets and alleys, and saw him stop in front of a gate after a while.Zhuo Yue took a closer look and saw that it was the house where Zhang Laohei lived.

Guan Ximing looked a little nervous, took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped into the courtyard gate.

Li Changxing made a gesture and led Zhuo Yue quietly to the west window.The walls of the houses are very thin, the windows are all papered, and the people inside can be heard clearly when they speak a little louder.

After a knock on the door, Zhang Laohei's slightly hoarse voice came: "Xiaoguan? Why are you here?"

"I, I'll come and see Brother Hei, you and sister-in-law." Guan Ximing stammered, "By the way, I'll bring you some New Year's goods."

Zhang Laohei was silent for a while: "I appreciate it. Your sister-in-law is not feeling well today, so you won't be allowed to come in and sit. Go back early."

"Wait a minute!" Guan Ximing said anxiously.

The wooden door creaked, as if Guan Ximing blocked Zhang Laohei's movement of closing the door with his body, Zhang Laohei suddenly said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Brother Hei, don't close the door in a hurry, please." Guan Ximing pleaded, "It's New Years Eve soon, Brother Zhuo, Brother Xiaoga and Brother Fuwang are all in the city, but no one is in contact with anyone. , I really can’t take it anymore. Do you still remember how we celebrated the New Year when we were fighting two years ago? When I think about it now, I really wish I could go back to that time..."

Zhuo Yue listened in a daze, and couldn't help being in a trance.

During the years of war, they all spent the new year in the camp tent.They don't have the conditions to set off firecrackers and hang peach charms, and they don't have big fish and meat. In the cold wind of snow, they gnaw on cold noodles and drink a pot of wine, but everyone's heart is hot.

At that time, they were together.

Zhang Laohei fell silent, as if thinking of the past.

Guan Ximing said in a low voice: "Everyone knows that you feel uncomfortable, but they all really want to help you. Brother Zhuo has been contacting you for the past two days to help you find a doctor. Seeing his persistence, even Da Luo Jinxian wants to come down to earth Come on. With the brothers here, what are you afraid of? Don’t stay alone, if you have any difficulties, tell us, can’t we share them together?”

Zhang Laohei chuckled hoarsely, his voice was somewhat sour and self-deprecating: "Old Zhuo, this twister is really stubborn..."

He paused, and his tone hardened: "Go back and tell him to leave me alone."

"Why!" Guan Ximing said anxiously, "Is there any use in you fighting yourself? Still, still—or have you already found a way to save sister-in-law and the others?"

Li Changxing's eyes flickered slightly.

Zhang Laohei said indifferently: "Don't ask too much. I know my own affairs."

Guan Ximing stomped his feet fiercely, almost exasperated: "Brother Hei, you, you are so confused! You are thinking about it here, what if you got into some dead end? Who was it?"

Faced with Guan Ximing's accusation, Zhang Laohei was not annoyed, but even smiled.

"Xiao Guan, you have been a good child since you were a child, and now you have your own future, so don't worry about my bad things." He said calmly, "I know I'm not a thing these days, right? I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for them. But I'm not enough for me alone, so don't drag you guys into the water anymore."

Guan Ximing was dumbfounded.

Zhang Laohei didn't say anything, and closed the door with a bang.

Guan Ximing stood blankly in front of the closed door for a moment, cursed angrily, and left quickly.

Li Changxing also pulled up Zhuo Yue, and when the two returned to the bustling main road, he said leisurely, "Brother Xiao Guan has already discovered what happened."

Zhuo Yue was still immersed in a sense of loss, and was taken aback when he heard his words: "What's the situation?"

Li Changxing smiled: "Brother Xiaoguan should have found something wrong after a few days of investigation, so he came here today to find out what Zhang Laohei said. But Brother Xiaoguan is too good at rhetoric, so he didn't ask anything. , was blocked back again.”

After Zhuo Yue said that, recalling the conversation between the two just now, he couldn't help but feel that Guan Ximing's words were somewhat tentative.

If there were any clues about Guan Ximing's misfortune, why didn't he come to him, instead of looking for Zhang Laohei?Unless... he hasn't got any conclusive evidence yet, and he feels that the suspicious brother is guilty, so it's not easy to speak?

Zhuo Yue's heart sank uncontrollably.

Could it be that this is the secret that Guan Ximing held back until he died in his previous life?

Li Changxing looked at Zhuo Yue's expression from the side, and asked gently: "What should I do? Are you going to ask Brother Xiaoguan directly?"

Zhuo Yue sighed: "What do you think?" Facing these closest brothers, he was really in a dilemma and couldn't keep his attention.

"If it were me, I would have confronted the two of them face-to-face just now...but this is your business after all." Li Changxing smiled, "Anyway, it's not the time to tear your face apart. If you are afraid of breaking brother Just wait a little longer, don't let yourself regret it."

Zhuo Yue thought for a while: "Are those firecrackers still there?"

"I'm watching, and it's fine now."

Zhuo Yue nodded: "Then wait and see for a day or two."

In fact, deep down in his heart... he still hopes that Guan Ximing can take the initiative to find him to explain the secret.

He has made many changes in this life, and he also hopes that these changes can affect these brothers, make different choices from the previous life, and finally walk into different destinies together.

He struggled for two lifetimes and was reborn, but he just wanted to break free from the shackles of fate and try his best to live a different life.
