Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

Duo Qi, who shouldered a heavy responsibility, went to the town early the next morning with the Obsidian coat of arms.

She has never seen such an expensive gemstone until now, so she didn't dare to neglect, she held it firmly in her hand the whole time, and walked all the way without looking sideways, drilling into the market in the center of the town.

The market occupies more than half of the street, with a temporary sun-shading shed above the head. The crowd below is bustling. Refugees and townspeople mingled and bargained together. Under their feet, the colorful broken plastic stalls were full of vegetables and fruits, second-hand clothes, and old furniture. Hanging around with broken metal, dirty and skinny wild cats and dogs, eager to pick up some garbage to eat.Duo Qi mixed in the crowd and walked for a while, and soon noticed a few guys who looked idle but looked around shrewdly, so he tried his best to keep his head down and not meet the eyes of each other.She knew these people were the minions of the black market, looking for someone to exploit.A young girl like Duoqi is an excellent commodity in their eyes. Even if she is not beautiful, every part of her body can be converted into a lot of money.

Duoqi's long maroon wavy hair was sold when he was too hungry.But apart from her hair, she wasn't going to sell anything of herself.

The cold stone has been pinched warm in her hands. Unknowingly, she has circled around the market, but she has not yet figured out how to make a move. She keeps observing the people doing business, trying to get rid of it. Finding trustworthy clues from their looks, clothes, and subtle expressions, she ruled out women in rags, half-grown youths with stubborn faces, wretched old men with stooped backs, and burly men with fierce faces. , when she finally fixed her eyes on a fairly decent man, and finally made up her mind to take a step forward, she suddenly found that his fingers were incomplete, and there were suspicious scars on his arms. The symbol of is enough to arouse Duoqi's infinite uneasiness, causing her to shrink back tremblingly.

While she was avoiding the harassment of the vultures in the black market, while looking around, worrying about finding a suitable buyer, she suddenly heard someone calling her twice not far away.

Duo Qi didn't realize that the other party was calling her at first, and she stopped after a while. She looked carefully at the source of the voice, and found that it was the soldier brother who had helped her, and was calmly avoiding the crowd, smiling. Walking towards her.

The scale of Yushi Town was so big, and they both wandered the streets all day long, so they inevitably met two or three times during the period, but they all hurried past after saying hello to each other.

"What a coincidence, I met you again, are you here to buy food?" Zi Luo bent slightly and asked.His face is clean, his camouflage uniform is neat and tidy, the collar is carefully buttoned, and the sleeves are rolled up high, revealing his smooth and strong forearms. He has a simple satchel on his shoulder, and he is very well-groomed.

Duo Qi nodded shyly, and unknowingly put on a good color. Seeing the gentle smile on the other party's face, the original irritability was subdued all of a sudden.Duo Qi had a very good impression of this young man, and he was almost catching up with the black cat. There seemed to be a kind of magical power in him, which naturally made people trust and rely on him.

"Are you here to buy things too?" She took the initiative to chat.

Qi Luo raised an oil-soaked paper bag in Yang's hand, which was full of bread, "I'm leaving this town later, and I'm here to buy some dry food for the road."

"Are you leaving?" Duo Qi felt a little regretful, "Aren't you coming back?"

"I'm not coming back, I have to go to work in the next place." Zi Luo simply replied, seeing the girl's disappointed expression, he asked another question of concern, "Are you still short of money?"

Duo Qi shook his head quickly, feeling that the other party had misunderstood him, and was about to explain something, when a person suddenly squeezed in from behind, pushed her forward and staggered a step, and bumped into Zi Luo.

Qi Luo hurriedly supported her, and after Duo Qi stood still, he didn't back away, almost clinging to him, his heartbeat accelerated a few times, and he wanted to give her a hug for no reason.

"Then is it okay for you to be here alone? Do you need my help?" Zilo noticed her uneasiness, put a hand on her shoulder, and continued to ask patiently.

Duoqi grabbed his clothes involuntarily, glanced at his body, and looked at the smoky market behind him. His eyes kept bumping into those strange faces and malicious eyes, and he suddenly felt a little nervous. The last time he was bullied The flesh and blood wounds left by the time were still aching, these shameless stinky men would take even such a small advantage, and they would not hesitate to be violent in the street.If once the treasure in your hand is exposed, how can you guarantee that it will not be snatched away?

Even if it's not an obvious grab, if the other party insists on buying it at a lower price, who can she, a little girl, talk to?If she messed up such an important matter, she might not even have the face to go back to see the black cat.

Thinking of this, Duo Qi raised his head to look into Qi Luo's eyes, and said pitifully, "Brother, I actually want to sell something for some money today, but I'm afraid I'll be tricked by others again, can you accompany me for a while? It won't take up too much of your time."

"Why not?" Zi Luo touched her prickly short hair, and gave her a hand to hold it. "There are many people in the market, so be careful not to get lost."

Until that moment, Zi Luo didn't know that the clue of his lover, which he couldn't find everywhere, was hidden in this girl just one step away.

More than ten minutes later, in the corner of a small alley next to the market, in front of him and several reliable buyers, Duoqi took the Obsidian coat of arms out of the hidden pocket of his clothes and spread it out in the palm of his hand. In the sun, every fine detail shines and is clearly identifiable.

After a brief stupor, the buyers couldn't help but exclaim at the same time. When they rushed up and wanted to be the first to appreciate this rare treasure, Duoqi's hand was suddenly grabbed by the people around him. up.

She turned her head inexplicably, and saw Zi Luo's expression of shock.

Junliu's sleep was very light, and he woke up when Duoqi woke up. The girl wiped the medicine on him again and left in a hurry.He drank some of the river water accumulated in the bucket, and ate some of the leftover bread, and there was nothing to do.

Finally, when Magu also got up, he had a talking partner.While munching on the bread, Magu took out the guns and military thorns from his backpack, put them in front of him, oiled and maintained them one by one, and passed the time.

Originally they thought that Duoqi would not be able to come back until noon, but they didn't expect that after a while, there was a commotion in the depths of the forest, and then a gray figure jumped out, Magu's eyes blurred, and before he could make a sound, Duoqi Qi passed him, went straight to the tent, and got in with a waist.

"Black cat! Come on, let me ask you!" Duo Qi couldn't wait to grab Jun Liu, and almost sprayed him with saliva, "Do you know a man named Qi Luo? Do you know him?"

Hearing this name suddenly, Junliu's heart was shocked violently, he was completely stunned, his eyes widened and he couldn't speak.

Duo Qi became anxious, pressed his shoulders and shook, "Don't say anything! Let me tell you, I met this man in the town. He actually knew your pendant. Bring him to you, how dare I bring someone here casually? Just let him wait where he is, do you know this person? If not, let’s run away! I think he looks like someone from the army, maybe he is here catch you!"

"Qi Luo? How is it possible..." Junliu's heart was beating like a drum, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What... does he look like?"

"It's about the same height as you, with straight features, light brown hair, gray eyes..." Duo Qi frantically gestured, "By the way, he also showed me a scar on the side of his neck..."

Junliu's brain exploded, and before he could finish what she said, he jumped up from the ground and stumbled out of the tent, "Where is he?! Take me there! Take me there quickly!!"

Junliu didn't expect that when he ran out of the tent and just stood up straight, when he raised his head, he saw a person standing upright not far away.

"Junliu, what happened to your hair?"

A familiar voice sounded faintly.

Zi Luo stood quietly in front of him—as if he had always been there, with a tall and straight figure, a clean head and face, and neat clothes. He was completely different from him who was covered in bruises when he was separated, but he was exactly what Junliu imagined. look like.With the same smile on his lips as before, he stared at Junliu intently—as if he had been watching him all the time, his eyes were loyal and firm.The sunlight shining through the treetops swayed on his forehead and shoulders, making him beautiful like an illusion.

"Hey, Inspector General? What's the matter, you didn't make it?" Magu put down the things in his hand, stood up and greeted him, but he was not too surprised.

Zi Luo nodded with an indescribable expression, glanced past him, looked at Duo Qi who was stunned beside Jun Liu, and said, "Sorry, I followed you without authorization, because I was too afraid of you slipping away, maybe I will find you again I can't see him anymore..."

Before he finished speaking, Junliu suddenly yelled like crazy, rushed over and slammed into his arms hard.

The blood full of blood poured out at this moment, grief, anger and ecstasy intertwined welling up in his heart, making him dizzy, almost fainted, he couldn't see anything, the tears that burst the embankment had long been blurred eyes.

Being teased so wantonly by fate, Junliu couldn't bear it anymore, and the line of defense he kept struggling in his heart finally collapsed.He lost all his strength, hugged Zi Luo's waist tightly and knelt down, buried his face between his chest and abdomen, and burst into tears, feeling wronged like a child.

Zi Luo helped him a few times but failed to get up. He simply sat on the ground and hugged him to comfort him for a long time before gradually calming him down.

Ma Gu was still on the sidelines, wanting to chat with Qi Luo for a few days, but the more he looked at them, the more disgusting they became. He couldn't stand the atmosphere of being friendly, so he took a military thorn and ran around in the nearby woods, saying to hunt for some prey Come back and celebrate with a good evening meal.

But Duoqi hid in the tent and peeked, feeling distressed and curious about the black cat, and wanted to ask about it, but felt that the world of two people could no longer tolerate the intervention of a third party.

Junliu cried until his eyes and nose were twisted together, even though he stopped crying, his shoulders still couldn't stop twitching.The entire front of Zilo's clothes was almost wet from his crying, and it stuck to his chest wetly.He stroked Junliu's hair one by one, then held his face, pulled up his sleeves to help him gently wipe off the tears, and finally laughed after wiping. He had never seen a big man cry like this, The blackness is like a flood, and after crying all the strength, the whole body has lost its bones, and the originally handsome face is also flushed, as if it has been beaten by frost. This appearance is too pitiful, but a bit funny .

"What are you laughing at?" Junliu felt ashamed and annoyed, and immediately separated his hands, "What's so funny!"

"I'm glad to see you," Ziluo coaxed him, "You are, how old a man is, and still crying?"

"You don't know how I got here these days." Junliu braced himself up and stared at him with half-anger, "Do you take it for granted that I can see you alive now? When I was dying of illness , I want to see you but I can't see you, and I think I will turn into a ghost to find you soon, but I am looking forward to it."

"You silly boy." Zi Luo didn't like hearing it, and quickly reached out and hugged him into his arms, smoothing his withered hair, "It's my fault that I couldn't find you sooner."

Junliu was greedy for his touch, and cuddled up to him obediently for the time being, but kept saying, "Why didn't you follow my advice and leave the country obediently? How did you come here?"

Qi Luo recalled the twists and turns, and didn't know how to explain it for a while, but suddenly remembered and asked: "Where is Yanliang? Why isn't he with you?"

"He..." Junliu sighed, "He is probably dead."

"We were chased and killed by the enemy all the way. Except for me and the big ghost, everyone else died one after another. We were also cornered and escaped desperately."

Qi Luo was quite shocked. Seeing Junliu's pale face, he couldn't bear to ask for details, but hugged him even tighter.He didn't expect that a stubborn guy like Yanliang would be harvested by death like all unknown soldiers.Before he had time to settle accounts with him, the other party quietly withdrew from this world, withdrew from the arena of fighting, and put all fruitless grievances behind him.

People are gone, there is no point in worrying about anything, Qi Luo feels relieved for a while, and decides to swallow the bad things he has done, so that he doesn't need to speak out to affect Junliu's mood.

Moreover, seeing Junliu's current situation, he was glad that he stayed. If Yanliang hadn't been in the way, he would probably have left the country smoothly. I'm afraid this would completely break the relationship between him and Junliu.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry." He couldn't help but leaned forward and touched Junliu's forehead, "With me here, leave the rest to me."

"I heard from Duoqi, what do you think, that you want to sell the Obsidian coat of arms?" Ziluo looked into his dark eyes seriously, and said in a low voice, "This is your most important Identity certificate, without it, how will you regain your strength in the future? Don’t you want to go back to Heze? Don’t you want to take back the power? Have you forgotten all of this?”

Junliu's eyes flickered, looking at him in a trance, as if everything he said was an ethereal dream.He himself didn't know when he started, so he put these ambitions behind him, and just struggled to survive, which had exhausted all his strength.

He smiled wryly, and replied without confidence, "What can I do? To pass the refugee registration and review, we must seek help from the black market. We need a lot of money to make deals with brokers. If this way doesn't work, you All that is said is empty talk.”

"So let you leave it to me." Zi Luo smiled confidently, "Did you forget? We are the most powerful brokers who know the black market in Qiubao."

When Magu came back after digging out a nest of bird eggs, he saw these two guys hugging each other under the tree from a long distance away, chewing on the roots of their ears intimately, and they didn't even change their posture.

"Are you finished?" He complained angrily, "Have you grown together or what?"
