Wu Yu

Through the crowd, Xie Lingyu saw the young man holding the torch alone at a glance. Ah San was very thin, and the torch in his hand illuminated his face. Xie Lingyu seemed to see him slightly bending his eyebrows and eyes.

It seems warmer than firelight.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ah San shout hoarsely, his voice trembling unsteadily, "Dear ones!"

Xie Lingyu raised his head sharply, realizing something was wrong.

"Nanling has fallen as a whole. This is because the court is incompetent, but please believe Mr. Xie, he can save us..."

Ah San choked up, the fire in his eyes was getting closer and closer, everyone's faces became clear, and the mountain mist was smudged with warm colors to create a particularly bright color, they ran anxiously and worriedly.

It is said that when a person is about to die, he will see the most unforgettable scene in his life.

Amidst all the shouting, Ah San seemed to have returned to that year when it snowed heavily and his parents were attacked by wild wolves. Fortunately, the old horse knew the way and took them to the lakeside of a nearby town. He and his sister were crying Shouting, as soon as he looked up, he saw a group of people running towards them holding torches.

The elder uncle hugged them into his arms, and Ah San wept heartbreakingly. His rough and warm hands gave him a moment of peace of mind.

Tonight's moon seemed extraordinarily round, and the scene of people rushing in front of him seemed to overlap with the heavy snow. He didn't feel cold, but felt warm in his heart.

"Trust Mr. Xie! You all have to be good..."

"Ah San is willing to sacrifice her body to the heavens to keep her family safe."

Be sure to wait for a prescription.

Wait until the reunion.

Wait until my sister grows up.

...It's a pity that he couldn't see it with his own eyes.

After Ah San yelled this sentence, she turned her head and rushed into the house without hesitation. The crystal water droplets flashed past and landed on the dust that no one cares about, leaving an uneven circular water mark.

The crowd followed closely behind, but thick planks suddenly erected on the ground, blocking them out.

This is Orion's usual trick.

Xie Lingyu gradually stopped and stood still ten meters away, staring blankly at all this, those words seemed to echo in his ears, and in front of his eyes was a fire that soared into the sky, the wooden house exploded in an instant, sparks flew everywhere, But it was blocked by thick wooden boards, and it didn't affect the outside at all.

Xie Lingyu finally saw the young man looking at him from a distance, with the arrogance of a young man, but tears in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end it gradually turned into a determination, a rush without remembrance Entering the dilapidated house, the flames seemed to rise to the sky, almost like the dawn tearing apart the night.

I'm late.

Xie Lingyu stood there in a daze, raised his arm slightly, as if he wanted to touch the hot temperature, and finally let go of his strength and let it hang down.

The room should have been poured with wine early on, the strong smell of wine mixed with the smell of burnt, it is not difficult to imagine the scene where Ah San was swallowed up in an instant.

Was he scared while doing this?

When he yelled those words, he could take a step forward and go home.

But he didn't.

Because Ah San understood that once the people in the town knew about the fall of Nanling, no one would be able to persuade them. They no longer trusted the court, nor would they trust him, Xie Lingyu.

Therefore, in this way, he burned his life to shout, and such a voice can enter people's hearts.

Burning can be reminded, the last sentence Ah San yelled was that he hoped to use himself as a sacrifice, turning into the tongue of flames that could destroy the plague, and dispel the haze for the people he loved the most.

They were guarded by a young man who had not yet reached the crown, and they claimed to be the sons of Huai Zhi, working for the welfare of the people.

Those who rushed to the front pushed down the thick wooden plank, and no one recalled the phrase "Nanling fell", they shouted to put out the fire, and after an unknown amount of time, when the scorched smoke rose, they went to rummage through the broken pieces. wooden block, wanting to find Ah San's body.

Xie Lingyu walked into the crowd without saying a word, and rummaged through it with his bare hands. His hands were red and swollen from the heat, but he didn't stop. His breathing became heavier and heavier, his eye sockets were bloodshot, and he reflected regretfully.

If he hadn't hesitated today, would he have been found earlier.

If he had rushed to chase him when he felt something was wrong, wouldn't Ah San still be able to do odd jobs in the attic with a smile on his face?

Sudden.

A big hand held his trembling hand, Xie Lingyu didn't look up, he was puzzled and at a loss, "Why?"

Why is this happening?

An extremely light sigh came from above his head, his wrists were loosened, Qingqiu Jue tore off his new clothes, wrapped his hands up, regardless of whether he was in a daze, turned around to find Ah San's bones.

A heavy and oppressive atmosphere spread, Qingqiu Jue took off his outer robe and spread it on the ground, and the others did the same, using their clothes to pile up a place that could accommodate Ah San.

A scorched wooden board was pushed away and hit the ground with a screeching sound. The man finally held back his tears and shouted, "I found it, here..."

Xie Lingyu walked quickly, but when his eyes touched the bones, he didn't dare to take a second look. The person who was still alive just now was burned beyond recognition, leaving behind dead bones that were still smoking.

The others put the bones on the clothes that had just been laid on the floor. Seeing that they were silent, Xie Lingyu finally took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Today is Xie's fault... what Ah San said is true, Nanling has fallen, please believe me."

He didn't expect the people to answer, or he didn't dare to face it. Xie Lingyu ordered County Magistrate Liu to deal with the funeral. He looked calm and calm, but Qingqiu Jue looked down, and it was not difficult to see that his hands were trembling slightly.

Xie Lingyu glanced at the people with different expressions, knowing that some of them believed it, while others didn't. Some of them had angry faces, as if they wanted to argue, but Uncle Li stopped him silently.

They watched Ah San grow up, and she would definitely not deceive them, so she managed to maintain her superficial calm.

But if there is no new progress to convince them, then all grievances will explode again. Fortunately, Ah San bought time for them.

The firelight in the night seems to have lost its temperature.

The group returned to Fanzhen, and silence swept the town again. Xie Lingyu was thinking about the matter of the third sister, and as soon as she returned to Liu's residence, she ordered Liu Kui to send someone to take care of her in the morning.

It wasn't until they went back to the room that Xie Lingyu came out of his trance and found that Qingqiu Jue had been silent all the way. He looked sideways and found that Qingqiu Jue was looking at him intently, with rare seriousness and indifference.

Xie Lingyu knew how bad his performance was today, he relaxed a little decadently, and let himself slump on the chair, "Ajue, I'm sorry."

This "A Jue" dissipated Qingqiu Jue's suppressed anger, but he did not let go, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Xie Lingyu naturally knew, very clearly.

One is that he is too easy to be influenced, which is a big taboo for a chief official, and the other is that he didn't order to organize the people in time just now, but he just stood there in a daze, too indecisive.

Xie Lingyu didn't defend herself, but stated her fault sternly, and she didn't feel relaxed after speaking, but frowned, annoyed and ashamed.

Suddenly there was a warm touch between his brows, Xie Lingyu's depressed expression paused, showing a little bewilderment, he looked up, but his head was blocked, making him unable to move, he could only see the dusty face of the person in front of him Underwear.

A deep and indifferent voice came from above, "Now here, everyone is pointing their eyes at you, but you are in a mess."

"Focus on the overall situation. If you are always caught up in these things, then what's the point of Ah San's sacrifice? There are so many grievances and sufferings in the world, can you intervene one by one?"

"Only by going forward can you protect more people. The dead are dead. May the living be safe."

Qingqiu Jue's voice was clear and deep, and Xie Lingyu let her rest her forehead against his fingers, her mind calmed down a lot under his comfort.

"Here." Qingqiu Jue staggered his gaze, complexities flashed in his eyes.

Xie Lingyu raised his eyes and saw a letter, he took it suspiciously, opened the envelope and glanced at it.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly stopped at the place where the signature was signed.

——My old friend Qingqiu.

Xie Lingyu's fingers trembled, and he almost missed the letter.

He steadied his mind and hurried to read it, only to find that there was only a short line of words.

——Young Master Xie, the date of return has been set, and there will be a long time to come.

Xie Lingyu wiped away his tears, fixedly stared at the short line of words, and laughed helplessly. He folded the letter paper squarely, and carefully put it into the wooden box in the hidden compartment.

Qingqiu Jue lowered his eyes to look at him, and quickly turned his gaze away, inexplicably awkward, the joy and fighting spirit of the person in front of him were written in his eyes, and he didn't know how to hide it.

He cleared his throat.

"So, figure it out?"

After a while, Xie Lingyu responded in a low voice, "I know I was wrong."

He is usually gentle and delicate, and looks quite calm in the eyes of others, but now he looks like a young man who has not yet reached his crown, with a low and soft voice, which looks very cute.

Qingqiu Jue suddenly felt that his fingertips were hot, and he retracted his hand uncomfortably, his eloquent mouth suddenly jammed, and he said dryly: "It's good that you know."

As if he couldn't stand the weird atmosphere at the moment, Qingqiu Jue walked into the room, quickly took off his underwear and put on a new one, tilted his head and said, "Rest early."

Xie Lingyu didn't even raise his head. He responded vaguely and hurriedly took off his clothes. Their backs were facing each other. Tonight seemed to be much longer than usual. The silence made breathing restrained.

Xie Lingyu closed his eyes, thinking about the scene just now, maybe too many things happened today, when Qingqiu Jue approached, he could smell the faint fragrance of the other person, that smell made him feel strange Relying on, wanting to... hug him, to suck more.

I do not know how long it has been.

The breathing of the person beside him gradually stabilized, but Xie Lingyu's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. He turned around carefully, and the moonlight from outside leaked in and reflected on Qingqiu Jue's face. Everyone said that the beauty was more than skin, Xie Ling Yu felt that this remark was reasonable, and his eyes traced Qingqiu Jue's bones along the moonlight.

I watched it for a long time.

Xie Lingyu's eyes gradually closed, and he fell asleep on his side.

Qingqiu Jue didn't open his eyes either, just pulled the quilt lightly for him, it seemed that he heard a very faint sigh in the night, and it seemed that it was just the sound of wind passing by.

------

The next day.

Lin Cheng was furious.

Because Ah San was there first, everyone was unwilling to confront Xie Lingyu directly, and they had already endured it, but the people from Lincheng were still dangling in front of them, which made them intolerable.

Now it's useless even for General Lin himself to go. Everyone doesn't like this at all. They are like rats crossing the street. arrived.

When Xie Lingyu heard the news, he rushed there. Liu's residence was surrounded by crowds, the people were yelling and cursing, Lin Cheng's face was ashen, but he could do nothing.

Xie Lingyu didn't restrain his emotions this time, he walked over with a cold face, the crowd paused, and silently made way for him, he said coldly: "Liu Kui, go and pack the bags for General Lin."

Lin Cheng raised his head abruptly, his lips trembling angrily, "Xie Lingyu...how dare you."

Xie Lingyu stared at him expressionlessly, and there seemed to be a few large characters written on his face.

How dare I.

Liu Kui's movements were quick. The servants prepared the luggage and the carriage. Xie Lingyu didn't show him any face in front of everyone. He curled his lips and said, "General Lin, I won't see you off."

Lin Cheng's eyes were dark. Although it was extremely insulting, it was indeed a step. They didn't leave today, and the people didn't agree. It's just...

"Thank you young master, see you next time." Lin Chengyi said provocatively.

Today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow.

Xie Lingyu didn't answer, and watched the carriage go away.

Qingqiu Jue, who was hanging his head behind him, smiled inexplicably.

I don't know, how many times can I meet again.

Which side will your suspicious nephew be on?
