Guan Rong thanked his neighbor. He is good-looking and usually looks polite. The neighbor repeatedly sighed: "Good teacher, really good teacher! Xiao Yue doesn't know where he got his blessings, but it's a pity that he can't enjoy it." After sighing, he asked Guan Rong if he would go home for dinner, Guan Rong thanked him again.

out of the alley.

He hardly ate anything from yesterday to today, but Guan Rong didn't feel hungry either.He walked slowly and aimlessly, occasionally lowering his head and stepping absently on the debris of the artillery on the ground.

When he reached the alley, he turned back again.It doesn't matter whether Chen Yue is here or not, no matter what, he wants to go in and have a look.

Judging from the dilapidated state, the house must have been unoccupied for two or three years.

In fact, it was still a while before it was completely dark, but the light in the room was very dim, Guan Rong went in and took some time for his eyes to adapt to the environment.He was in a hurry to go out and only carried a bag. If he had known this would be the case, he should have packed a flashlight.But even if you are not in a hurry to go out, so what, if you don't want to go to the cave, who would go out with a flashlight?

The pyrotechnic law probably doesn't work in Town A, and there are occasional cannon shots outside.It made the room even more silent.

Guan Rong quickly explored the first floor.There is not even a single piece of furniture on this floor, it is as clean and empty as a rough room.The light from outside was really limited, and the walls turned into blurred shadows, standing motionless in the distance or not far away.Guan Rong was a little startled, but it wasn't hard to imagine that this home had been completely "looted" shortly after Chen Yuechi left.

The stairs are in the southwest corner of the house and look very solid.Guan Rong walked over, looked up and saw the dark stairway.

Stepping on the last step, he clearly realized that it was really dark this time.There were two doors on the side of the corridor, and he chose the one farther away from him. When he opened the door, a cloud of dust rushed over.He covered his mouth and nose, and coughed twice.

The wall has turned into a complete black shadow. In the innermost part of the room, in the corner between the black shadows, there is a shadow that is too abrupt.Guan Rong's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't dare to speak out for a while.

When he got close, he froze immediately.

Next to it is a window, and a nearby house is setting off fireworks.That seed flew into the sky, its trajectory changed from dark to bright, and a big flower exploded with a bang, burning up and withering in an instant.In such a short moment, Guan Rong saw Chen Yuechi clearly.

There was a recliner in the corner, and Chen Yuechi was curled up on it, falling asleep.

Guan Rong squatted down, and the fireworks exploded continuously.Chen Yuechi seemed to notice something in his sleep, and his body moved.

After two seconds, he turned his head to Guan Rong's direction.

Another flash of light.Guan Rong saw Chen Yuechi's eyes clearly.Maybe it was because the scene in front of him was too unexpected, but Chen Yuechi didn't move for a long time.

A firework rises and falls.The movement nearby completely disappeared.After a long time, Chen Yuechi suddenly woke up and sat up from the reclining chair.

Guan Rong raised his head following his movements.

"Brother?" Chen Yue asked hesitantly.

Guan Rong touched the clothes on his body and felt a cold hand: "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"Brother?!" Chen Yuechi shouted again, this time his voice was a little excited.

Guan Rong said: "I heard it. It's not a ghost." He looked straight at the outline of Chen Yuechi's face, instinctively took Chen Yuechi's hand, and quickly touched his face.

After standing still for a moment, Chen Yuechi suddenly raised his arms, and his body showed a posture of leaning forward.Guan Rong noticed his movement in the dark, and immediately raised his hand to his chest, not letting him approach her, and said bluntly: "Don't hug me."

Chen Yuezhi froze.

Guan Rong sighed: "I came by the slow train, I was squeezed to death, and my body was dirty."

Before the words fell, Chen Yuechi hugged him involuntarily.Guan Rong was forced to straighten up and accept his embrace.

Chen Yue called him again with a trembling voice, and rubbed the tip of his nose against his neck, showing a nostalgia that surprised Guan Rong.Guan Rong obediently tilted his neck to let him rub, but said in his mouth: "Don't rub like that, itchy. Are you a dog?"

Chen Yuechi laughed: "Brother, why did you come here?"

"How do you know where my home is?"

"Is it hard to ride the train?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting dirty? Why do you still squeeze?"

"Have you eaten yet?"

"It's so dark, aren't you afraid to come up?"

He asked many questions in a series, and finally said in a low voice: "Today is Chinese New Year..."

Guan Rong heard the grievance.She put her arms around his back and patted him hard on the back: "Get up, accompany me to the New Year's Eve dinner."

The mood finally calmed down, and it had been more than half an hour since Chen Yuechi yelled his first brother.

Guan Rong wanted to take a bath, but when he learned that Chen Yuechi had been using cold water for the past few days, he was speechless for a while.Chen Yuechi suggested: "I'll take you to the neighbor's house to wash."

As he spoke, he was about to pull Guan Rong away, but Guan Rong didn't move: "I won't go."

"The little aunt next door is very kind to me." Chen Yuechi said.

The darkness concealed each other's expressions well.Guan Rong didn't believe that the house couldn't be powered on, but until now, Chen Yuechi didn't mention whether or not to turn on the light.He didn't expose it, he just said, "I don't want to go to other people's house."

Chen Yuechi thought for a while: "Then go to the town and find a place to live."

Guan Rong weighed it for a moment: "Okay."

Chen Yuechi took Guan Rong and left through the back door without meeting anyone on the way.The two went to the street, and there was only a hotel where they could live in from the east of the town to the west of the town.However, there is only one single room left.

Going through the formalities at the counter, Guan Rong took out his ID card, and the girl at the front desk looked at Chen Yuechi: "There's still yours."

Chen Yue refused to look at Guan Rong: "Sister, I forgot to bring it. I will send my brother up..."

"Sister, please be accommodating," Guan Rong took over the words, "My brother and I are here to travel, and we finally found a hotel that is available. You have a lot of foreign tourists here, especially for the Chinese New Year, so we were shocked."

The girl at the front desk smiled: "That's not true, we are building a characteristic ancient town, and there are many families nearby who come to celebrate the New Year."

Guan Rong nodded, thinking casually that her words were quite interesting.Chen Yuechi didn't say a word.She looked the two of them up and down, and saw that Guan Rong was only wearing a thin backpack, and Chen Yue was holding a slightly larger backpack in his hand. When she returned the ID card to Guan Rong, she sighed: "You two brothers, it's a good time to go out." It’s easy enough to go out, and there are still shops in the short street behind the hotel that are not closed, so you can buy anything you need.”

The two thanked each other, and just mixed up the matter of the ID card.Guan Rong secretly speculates that most people who have been in prison are relatively shy about their ID cards, and they will be checked if they live in a hotel.He was thinking about this matter, and he was too tired, so he didn't speak until he went upstairs.

Chen Yuechi kept apologizing all the way, and when he reached the door of the room, he said again: "Brother, I'm sorry..."

"Shut up." Guan Rong said bluntly, and opened the door in front of him with the key, "Enter."
