Your heart's desire

Looking from left to right, there is no difference between these six houses. The eaves are low and the tiles are paved, and each of them has two big red window fans with peeling paint.

The plain damask has already faintly turned light gray, flying with the wind, mixed with the paper money all over the floor, and slapping people's faces.

The person walked forward along the stone steps in front of him, walked at a door in the middle, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

There was no one answering for a long time, but a rustling sound could be heard.

Lin Ying put his finger in his mouth and dipped in his saliva, lifted it up and pierced the paper on the window to take a look, but was immediately frightened and took several steps back, almost sitting on the ground.

"Who are you?"

The door was opened with a whoosh, and the dilapidated and dilapidated door could not be heard, but there was a movement as it passed through the air at such a high speed.

Someone was standing inside the door asking a question, Lin Ying hurriedly took a closer look, and fell back in shock as he stabilized his body, but he still couldn't control himself and sat on the ground after all.

The one who came to open the door was an old man over the past year, with disheveled hair, so long that he even covered more than half of his face.

Underneath the disheveled hair, there are fine stubbles, his complexion is old and haggard, and the wrinkles are as thick as deep ravines, only one eyeball is exposed, staring at him, extremely ferocious.

He was holding a very old stick in his hand, the pattern on it seemed to be something used in the previous dynasty, he was wearing a shirt full of holes, cotton balls had already protruded from it, and his body was bent He walked on, and his feet were actually wearing a pair of straw shoes, his fingers were cracked and bleeding from the cold, his appearance was very frightening;

"The one looking at the corpse here is a half-dead master!"

Sitting on the ground and touching the cold ground, seeing the situation, Lin Ying suddenly thought of the words of the boy he had brought, his heart was pulled violently, and he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva. Reflecting it clearly, the half-human, half-ghost thing standing opposite was asking himself a question.

"Qing Shi Shi, Lin Ying, come... to inspect the body!"

It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid, even if he meets such a person in the downtown area of ​​the city, he would avoid it, not to mention the wilderness and mountains, and he is a scholar with no strength.

There was a trembling voice when he spoke, the man heard the words, leaned up to put it on his nose and sniffed, suddenly burst out laughing, then slowly turned his body back, as if nothing had happened.

But at that moment when he bowed his body just now, Lin Ying saw a clue. Seeing that he was staring straight ahead with a blank expression, he waved his hand in front of his eyes, and finally came to a conclusion. , This master is an out-and-out blind man.

"why are you laughing?"

After investigating the situation, I feel a little bit on guard.When I looked at him again, the state of mind that let go of fear seemed to have changed again.

In the past, I lived in a deep house in the market for a long time, and the emperor's feet were prosperous. I just felt that the year after the imperial examination, the whole world was in harmony. Today, I really saw the two brothers and sisters dressed like when they fled back then.

Thinking of this, a deep gloom surged in Lin Ying's heart. It was an inseparable depression, and it was as sad as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart.

Back then when their siblings, Chuchu and their family got separated.Lin Ying was still a bully of a wealthy family who liked to make petty tempers, so he immediately lost his temper, crying and begging for his father and mother, and while crying, he threw away the pair of embroidered shoes on his feet without a trace.

Later, when I was tired from crying and fussing, I realized that I was in a panic when I walked.Elder sister of the Lin family took off her shoes and put them on for him. Although she was a bit girly, he was happy.

It was better before winter, but the elder sister of the Lin family just had blood cuts on her feet due to rocks. When the blood cuts got better, she wove straw sandals and put them on, which slowly turned into thick cocoons.

Before the wound was fully healed, winter suddenly entered the body, the cold air invaded the body, the grass straw could not block the wind, and it swelled like a bear's paw, still full of blood, just looking at it, the heart would tremble Tremble.

Later, the two were taken in by Mr. Jin. After the disaster, Lin Ying suffered another leg problem. The elder sister of the Lin family was at a loss, so she entered the mansion of the local county magistrate who was nearby at that time, stole money, and was caught and beaten. He was half dead, and bought another place as a slave to pay off his debts.

From then on, Lin Shihan was an untouchable thorn in Lin Ying's heart.

He aspired to be an official in the past, and a large part of the reason was because of this, but he sat firmly in this high position for a year, and he did not find a single person.

On the contrary, he didn't save Jin Shicai's life, and now even Chihir was involved in all these incidents.

My mind was stuck for a while, and I finally felt in a trance when I came back to my senses, as if these many years were nothing but an empty dream, and there will be a day when I wake up.

Sighing, knowing that in front of him is just an ordinary person who is prone to illnesses and disasters, Lin Ying suddenly gained confidence, picked himself up from the ground in a flash, and put his arms on the man's shoulder Yi Da: "I asked you something, why didn't you make a sound?"

Usually at such an age, after being involved in such a way, he must be unsteady on his feet and fall to something good or bad.

But the person in front of him was as stable as Mount Tai, motionless, he only coughed lightly twice, then raised his staff and tapped him on his hand.

"All of you who are officials are masters who are bigger than the sky. Your own minor illnesses and injuries, even the hair loss is a big deal. Others die from freezing to death, starving to death, no matter how they die, it has nothing to do with you.

The most frightening thing is that even if you die, you will never have a peaceful life.Old man, I've lived at this age, and I've seen too many jokes, so I don't want to watch them anymore! "

Lin Ying withdrew his hand, only to react belatedly, the temperature on the person in front of him was very weak, his eyes widened and he didn't cry out, he was even more confused after hearing these words.

"Who the hell are you?"

The man smiled, and his voice was dry and dull: "You just go find the scapegoat you want, the little old man is old, and he can't help you much!"

Walking slowly, under Lin Ying's gaze, he slowly moved towards the round table in the house. After a long time, he sat on the bench beside the table, raised his staff, and pushed the door shut with a bang.

Lin Ying was about to speak again, but the young servant by the arch suddenly ran over from behind, screaming as he ran hard: "The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming!"

He stopped his pace with his hands, stood on the spot and gasped for a few breaths. The young man looked shocked, and just repeated: "Wolf, there are wolves, wolves are coming, wolves are really coming!"

He pointed in the direction of the arch, and Lin Ying looked over, but there was no movement.

Counting it, it has been more than a year since Lin Ying came to the capital, but it was really the first time he came to this place in front of him.

So just now what he said just now was nothing more than a quick tongue learned after staying with Luo Yan for a long time on weekdays.

I will almost be bluffed by his words, and now my words have bluffed him instead, Lin Ying can't laugh or cry for a while.

He raised his hand and put his hand on the young servant's forehead, and pretended to frown, shook his head and said, "Hysteria during the day, it seems that the illness is not serious. After I investigate the case, I will go back with you to have a good rest!"

The boy was standing by the arch just now, when there was a sudden rustling behind him, and he panicked thinking about what Lin Ying said, now he stood beside Lin Ying and calmed down, but he couldn't tell whether it was from his mind or not. Unwilling to be a frightened bird.

As soon as he was pulled by Lin Ying, he followed up suspiciously. He only took two steps. When he turned around and looked again, he could smell the crisp ringing of the ring in the darkness, and he rushed up to hold Lin Ying tightly. Clenched your arms.

This disturbance even made Lin Ying's heart skip a beat.He held the boy, and the two of them slowly moved towards the arched door, and when they came to them, they shouted: "Who is outside?"

There was still a slight echo, but no one answered, Lin Ying raised another foot and was about to step towards him in the dark, but the boy took advantage of the situation and pulled his body away from him.

He was a little caught off guard, his expression froze for a moment, and suddenly a pair of hands stretched out inside and hugged him in his arms, almost scaring his three souls out.

"Who?"

He looked up in horror, but felt that the smell in his breath was very familiar.Into the bosom, through the light cotton shirt is the familiar temperature, and the one that comes into view is also the familiar face.

I don't know why the panic in my heart disappeared suddenly at this moment, and there was an unspeakable peace of mind.

"What's the matter, after you came out for a while, you don't even recognize me?"

Luo Yan's handsome and glamorous appearance has changed from the bright yellow clothes he usually wears to a water-colored gown, which is brighter and more comfortable than usual, eye-catching.

"What is it you?"

"Who do you think it is?"

"I thought...it was a wolf..."

"I am a wolf, a rebellious wild wolf!"

Lin Ying's heart couldn't help but feel warm at this moment, because Luo Yan walked out with him.Eyebrows slightly lowered, Luo Yan said softly: "I don't trust you!"

The boy next to him was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of a big man, thinking that it was such a big wild wolf that jumped towards him, thinking about the scene of the next bloody scene, he hurriedly turned his head to the side Sideways, wrinkled without daring to look.

I was stunned for a while, but heard a personal voice, turned around and took a closer look, but I was just taking this peachy scene into my eyes.

He stroked his chest and let out a long breath, and when he looked up again, he saw the person coming with his eyes slightly closed, leaning towards his master with his chin on his back.

The bright red lip color was faintly deep in the cold weather, and the breath between the nose was entangled. Following the guidance of the warmth, it slowly touched the place you wanted to explore, and then covered it, slowly prying open the obstacle, and the two warmed up. The intention merged with each other, and then involuntarily reached out to press the body tightly.

Lin Ying was a little dazed, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief all over his body. His eyes were fixed on Luo Yan's slightly curled eyelashes, and he had the illusion of being deeply charmed.The head was blank for a while, and there was a faint attachment.
