[Peacock Ling Liqiu] Puzzled by the autumn wind

If there is a candle lamp in front of them, then they are nothing more than talking at night while holding candles.

The night was dyed all over the sky, and the moon got sleepy and quietly hid back, no longer listening to their conversations that became more and more energetic.The stars are still there, they scramble to be the first to stop.Under the flickering, the wind moves with the stars, the stars move with the vegetation, the loneliness between the sky and the earth is as before, and the acquaintance of one person with another is no longer lonely.

Xiao Wu was holding a leaf in his hand, the cracked opening showed leaf veins, which is why it suddenly fell from the tree.He said casually: "If the Central Plains and the Four Great Escorts can really merge with Changqing, there will be countless people in the world who will benefit from it. I saved him for these people, not for himself. .”

Gao Li stared at him, couldn't help but sighed softly, and said, "You seem to know a lot."

Xiao Wudao: "Not too many."

Gao Li said: "Your swordsmanship doesn't seem to be much worse than Baili Changqing."

Xiao Wudao: "Oh."

Gao Lidao: "Baili Changqing was already one of the seven famous swordsmen all over the world many years ago."

Xiao Wudao: "He seems to be ranked sixth."

Gao Li said, "What about you?"

Xiao Wu smiled and replied, "I'm just a nobody."

Gao Lidao: "But swordsmanship is not innate."

Xiao Wudao: "Of course not."

Gao Li said: "Who taught you swordsmanship?"

Xiao Wudao: "Are you interrogating my background?"

Gao Li said, "I'm really curious about you."

Xiao Wu said indifferently: "I never thought you would still be curious."

Gao Li smiled slightly.

He has joined "July Fifteen" for three years, three years, and has seen countless people come and go.Some of them became companions with him, and went to kill people together.Some died, just because they violated the big taboo in the organization.Among these taboos, having feelings and curiosity can be fatal.

Maybe it's your own life, maybe it's your friend's life.It is unheard of for a careless negligence to make a big mistake.They get along almost every day, but they never ask each other about each other's origins.They will also fight side by side, go through life and death, but they have never been friends with each other, because friendship can soften hearts, but their hearts have to be hard, the harder the better.

But now Xiao Wu heard Gao Li say: "I'm curious about you, maybe it's just because we are friends now."

Xiao Wu thought of those people whose faces had been stripped off, and felt cold all over.He has seen this kind of scene countless times, but not just on "July [-]th".He has been here for a year and a half, so he still has to stand tall as a senior.But not long after he came in, his existence made many people look forward to it, nothing else, just because of his superb swordsmanship.

The able prevail, the weak prey on the strong, and it is always the truth.Xiao Wu never cared about these views, "July [-]th" is just a stepping stone.

He said: "People who have friends die early."

Gao Li said: "For a person without friends, life is almost like death."

Xiao Wu laughed again, and said, "People like you, you shouldn't be in this organization."

Gao Li said, "You think it's weird?"

Xiao Wudao: "It's very strange."

Gao Li also smiled and said, "I was just about to ask you, how did someone like you join this organization."

Xiao Wu was silent.In many respects, he is the same as Gao Li, because at the moment Gao Li is also in deep thought, his eyes are lowered and he cannot see his expression, only his lips pursed into a line, pale and strong.Without paying attention, the leaves in Xiao Wu's hands were broken into pieces, those tendons were torn off by his uncontrollable force, and disappeared into the vast night.

Xiao Wu thought of his own single room in the "July [-]th", a house made of wet wood, living next to each other, even if you don't look up and look down, no one knows who lives next door to you.The crude conditions tempered the killing intent like a beast, and this killing intent can appear anywhere, as long as there is a need for that place.

It was a day when there was no sunshine, no laughter, no warmth, and no enjoyment.They are always waiting, waiting for the next order.Their spirit can never relax.

Xiao Wu regretted it, why did he come?But regret it and forget it.The reason why it is on "July [-]th" is not so much fate, it is better to say that it is a struggle against oneself.

He is surrounded by people who don't like to talk.Take Yuno for example, always wiping his knife with a cotton ball.For example, the horsewhip, the thorns on the weapon are washed with water, and the sharpness is not as good as before.For example, divination, writing a bunch of Zhouyi numbers overnight, but I don't know why the next day.They are all doing strange things, maybe they are subconscious, maybe they are abnormalities produced by mental tension.

But there are also people who are always rational and always stand upright.

Xiao Wu thought for a while and said, "Did you kill people just to find a place to live?"

Gao Li shook his head.His starting point is extremely simple and extremely cowardly, at least in his opinion.He doesn't know what Tang Ye and the others are doing. What he fears most is that they will become like that one day.However, as long as he still has a breath, he will keep urging himself, at least if he is not dead, there is hope.

Xiao Wu suddenly let out a long sigh, he thought there was no need to go on.He was a little hungry, and his eyes started to wander.For a moment, he bumped into Gao Li's eyes. Gao Li, who was invaded by the night, was cold, but felt warm for no reason.This kind of Gaoli is completely different from the one who waited for the opportunity on the street before. He is no longer cold and makes people want to get close.

Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I finally have a place to go."

Gao Liqi asked, "Where?"

Xiao Wudao: "Where there is wine."

It is well known that Xiao Wu likes to drink.Whether it is "July [-]th" or a roadside stall, the things in his hands are always wine bottles, or jade, or cyan, or vermilion.Sometimes just by looking at the pattern on the bottle body, one can imagine what the liquor dripping inside is like. He thought that if he were to end up on the street in the future, he might as well go to a wine shop to do odd jobs.

The first time I drank was the second night I lived in.The night was clear and starless, but the wind was strong, for it was deep winter.Xiao Wu, wrapped in a white cloth jacket, looks like a snowman from a distance. This snowman is sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a branch in his hand, painting and drawing.His behavior was boring and no one paid him any attention.No one pays attention to a person who does not kill or do nothing, besides he is still a newcomer.

It was such a newcomer, with a flushed face, breathing hot air into his hands.He wrinkled his nose when someone handed him a wine bottle.The smell of wine was tangy, but he couldn't say that he didn't like drinking.He completely forgot the memory of how much he drank and vomited when he was a child, and took it, without even thanking him, and just raised his head and drank it.

Probably because of the heavy wind and snow, he didn't quite remember what that face looked like.

Shaking the cup, Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the man sitting across from him.

This is a brothel, Gao Li hesitated at first.It seems that this person is a law-abiding person, or a person who has his own interests, so he naturally has no feelings for Fengyuechang.But the women in Fengyue Field didn't care, they put on heavy makeup, twisted their waists, and surrounded Gao Li.

Compared with Xiao Wu, an acquaintance, Gao Li's arrival made Yingying and Yanyan burst into cheers.Men without money don't matter, but handsome men without money are rare.

Xiao Wu was pushed aside, but he could still smell rouge and gouache.He once teased a girl, saying that your rouge is made of withered red and blue flowers, and there may be blemishes on the face.As a result, the girl stopped talking to him.

Seeing him in a daze, Gao Li couldn't help asking: "Is the wine here expensive?"
