Burning fire

"It's dark at night, and the weather is bad today. It's raining and the road is not easy to walk. Your sister-in-law is sick, so I didn't let her come over."

"Hot pot tomorrow at noon, the wine is ready for you. You go to buy vegetables, bring them to my house, and report to your sister-in-law in person. She kept talking about you while you were out."

Before the Bai Yuxing came in, they bald out their mouths in a row.

Bai Yuxing put the vegetables and meat in his hand on the shelf at the door, and he couldn't wait to take a big step over: "Come and see, you have been poor outside for so long, you are so thin..."

When Bai Yuxing raised his eyes, Kabbah said, "Hey...here...is there a guest?"

In addition to Zhou Qizun who was comfortably on the broken leather sofa like an old man, Bai Yuxing also saw a tall and beautiful young man standing behind him.

Just now he opened his mouth wide and grinned, Bai Yuxing couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.He snorted the back of his head, and Zhou Qizun said, "Then what, why didn't you tell me in advance, visitor?"

But after thinking about it, it's strange—where did Zhou Qizun come from?

And... Bai Yuxing took another look at Zhang Jueming, he always felt that this beautiful young man had seen him somewhere before, and he was a little familiar.

Zhou Qizun finally stood up from the sofa, he stretched his waist: "I'm not a guest."

"...Ah." Sure enough, he said he had no customers.

...No, Bai Yuxing was stunned: "Huh?"

He looked at Zhang Jueming again: "That's it?"

"Did you bring enough things? Wouldn't it be enough to eat?" Zhou Qizun walked to Zhang Jueming's side and took Zhang Jueming's hand.

"It's definitely enough to eat, and it's enough for one more person. I'll take the rest for you..." Bai Yuxing stared at Zhou Qizun and Zhang Jueming's holding hands, not knowing what he was saying What.

"Then let's cook, I'm starving to death." Zhou Qizun said shamelessly.

"No..." Bai Yuxing took a deep breath, "You..."

"That's it. They're all men, don't explain too much, it's hypocritical." Zhou Qizun threw Bai Yuxing a thunderbolt in a flat tone.

"Wait a minute! Why... what happened?" Bai Yuxing was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

You must know that it is Zhou Qizun, the stinky stone Zhou Qizun who has suffered a lot and has a deep hatred!How is this possible?

Bai Yuxing suspected that he was dreaming, and even bit the back of his hand.

pain.This is real.

"No...what, when?" Bai Yuxing's tongue curled up, "What's the situation? You go out and bring back a man..."

"...Don't give me any surprises, Jueming has a thin skin, so you should keep him in the dark." Zhou Qizun wrinkled his face, feeling that Bai Yuxing was so stupid.

He met Bai Yuxing's blank expression, and said helplessly, "Old Bai, you don't know him, do you?"

Zhou Qizun pointed to Zhang Jueming beside him: "You don't remember him?"

"...Huh?" Bai Yuxing turned paler.

"..." Zhou Qizun had nothing to say, and hummed lightly, "Your memory is almost as bald as your head."

Zhang Jueming: "..."

Zhang Jueming really wanted to turn around and go back to Netherworld through the barrier.

He couldn't bear to see it.Zhou Qizun is really out of tune, how could he bully an honest person like this.

Zhang Jueming had no choice but to take a step forward, give Zhou Qizun his head, and politely said to Bai Yuxing: "My name is Zhang Jueming. We met on Xiaotai Mountain a few years ago, and I am your guide up the mountain."

"Zhang Jueming...the guide..." Bai Yuxing's brain seemed to have been hit with a hammer, "Damn it!"

After he finished cursing, he gasped again: "It's you!"

"it's me......"

"I think about it now." Zhou Qizun was a big rogue, spreading his hands innocently.

"No, why is it him? You..." Bai Yuxing pointed at Zhou Qizun, about to explode, "I said he was good-looking, but you kept staring at him...but he didn't disappear later Is it? How... hey, what's the matter with you! What's the matter with you?"

"The process was quite tortuous, but the current result is like this." Zhou Qizun still did not explain.

Besides those ghosts and monsters, you can't tell Bai Yuxing clearly.It's better to wait for him to be shocked and prevaricate a few words.

"Then I..." But Bai Yuxing wasn't ready to let it go.

"Hey, you're so annoying, can you cook first!" Zhou Qizun was extremely hungry.

Zhang Jueming was also afraid that Zhou Qizun would be very hungry, so he quickly agreed, and politely pushed Bai Yuxing to the table: "Then...brother, let me cook with you. I...I can help."

Zhou Qizun turned his face abruptly and stared at Zhang Jueming, as if something wrong with his ears just now.

After Zhang Jueming finished speaking, he turned around and left, went to the door to pick up the things Bai Yuxing brought and put them on the induction cooker.

He had already gone, so Bai Yuxing naturally couldn't stand still any longer, so he had to shake his head and keep up with Zhang Jueming.

The two of them went to get some food, Zhou Qizun knocked on the spot alone.It stands to reason that in order to avoid embarrassment, he should follow up, at least make troubles.

but.He's having a hard time right now.

Spade was woken up, and was nestling on the sofa, facing Zhou Qizun with a flat face.

Zhou Qizun smacked the tip of his tongue, and said to himself in a low voice: "Calling his brother so smooth? When will you call me..."

"Zhou Qizun." Zhang Jueming called him.

"Here we come." Zhou Qizun stared blankly, so he had no choice but to cook with him first.

.

A big meal was about to be ready, but Bai Yuxing was still stuck in a hallucination and couldn't extricate himself.

Zhou Qizun ate a big chicken leg first, his stomach pouch was slightly padded, so he leaned over and pulled Bai Yuxing: "Have you calmed down yet? Come out and let's talk?"

As he spoke, he handed over the chicken leg bone in his hand to Bai Yuxing.

"..." Bai Yuxing took it with a wrinkled face, and silently threw the bone into the trash can.

Zhou Qizun and Zhang Jueming looked at each other.

"You guys go." Zhang Jueming said, "There is only one soup left, let me see, it will be ready soon."

"En." Zhou Qizun nodded, and Bai Yuxing left.

Because it is a barber shop, there is no independent kitchen, and Spade is still nestling on the sofa—this black goblin can't just be regarded as a cat.It was inconvenient for them to talk, so Zhou Qizun took Bai Yuxing upstairs.

Going upstairs and closing the door, Zhou Qizun took out a cigarette case from his pocket, shook one and put it in his mouth: "What do you want to ask."

Now that the surprise had almost subsided, Bai Yuxing calmed down, and indeed he wanted to ask a bunch of questions.

With a straight face, he punched the front of the door panel: "Tell me first, what happened to you this time?"

Zhou Qizun took out the lighter, lit the cigarette, paused for a while and said, "I told you before that Xiao Yi was not found."

Zhou Qizun slowly blew out a stack of smoke rings: "I found it later. I don't want to tell you how I found it, so don't ask me either."

"Then she's..." Bai Yuxing became hoarse as soon as he opened his mouth in a hurry, something seemed to be stuck in his throat, which hurt him so much.

——Zhou Qizun didn't bring Zhou Yi back, and didn't call him immediately to tell him, which proved——Zhou Yi couldn't come back.

Their little sister...their little sister is really gone.It doesn't have to be clean.

I had thought that she might not be here anymore, not even her bones left.I thought about it earlier.But Bai Yuxing never dared to think that this was true.

"You..." Bai Yuxing's eyes turned red, "Are you sure? Could it be a mistake after so many years? Is it possible..."

Zhou Qizun didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face, he just quietly smoked one puff at a time.

Bai Yuxing's nose was blocked, and he took a deep breath - Zhou Qizun would not have said that if he hadn't been sure, even if there was still a ten-thousandth chance.

He wouldn't be willing to say that.

"Bury her in Xiaotaishan, with my parents." Zhou Qizun said again suddenly.

"...Fuck." Bai Yuxing covered his mouth with his hands, and tears came from his eyes.

Seriously, it's annoying enough for a semi-bald rough man to piss like this.

"I'll beat you if you cry again." Zhou Qizun said flatly.

He stood up, squeezed the cigarette butt in his hand to roll it out, and squished it together with the remaining half pack of cigarettes in his hand, and threw it into the trash can.

Bai Yuxing wiped his face, his voice choked, "...there are still cigarettes in the box..."

He couldn't help but cry, but he didn't want to be beaten by Zhou Qizun, so he recited Zhou Qizun.

The back body with big arms and round waist is ridiculously trembling.

Zhou Qizun looked at Bai Yuxing and trembled for a while, and said, "No more. I will quit in the future."

"What?" Bai Yuxing turned around abruptly again.

I feel sorry for Zhou Yi.I feel even more sorry for Zhou Qizun.Compared with Zhou Yi's disappearance, his tears are more for Zhou Qizun—how will Zhou Qizun live in the future?

"The one below doesn't like cigarettes." Zhou Qizun said so.

"Next...that one?"

"I know what you're thinking." Zhou Qizun took a step forward, wanting to pat Bai Yuxing on the shoulder, but he hated his virtuous behavior, so he didn't.

Zhou Qizun said nonsense: "Xiao Yi was indeed sold to Jishou, she is not ill."

Zhou Qizun: "There is also the matter of my parents... I just got a clue, but I haven't found it out yet, so I can't say it, so don't ask."

Zhou Qizun: "As for Zhang Jueming. We are really destined to each other. I know his details and he is a reliable person."

"Fortunately, I met him on this trip, and I miss him, otherwise I might not be able to come back alive." Zhou Qizun smiled bleakly.

"Stop talking fucking nonsense!" Bai Yuxing slapped Zhou Qizun forcefully.

Zhou Qizun smiled and remained silent.

He wasn't talking nonsense.Not to mention Zhang Jueming saved his life, but he also saved his heart and his people.

Zhang Jueming regarded him as his reliance, so why didn't he regard Zhang Jueming as his salvation.

"Go down and wash your face later. Disgraceful." Zhou Qizun just put down this sentence, turned around and left.

——Leave Bai Yuxing alone in the room and cry for a while.

.

Downstairs, Zhang Jueming had already filled the soup. Seeing Zhou Qizun coming downstairs, he immediately went up to meet him: "Why did you tell him?"

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said." Zhou Qizun casually touched Zhang Jueming's face.

Zhang Jueming frowned, he could see that although Zhou Qizun was calm, his complexion was not very good: "But..."

"He won't ask." Zhou Qizun said again, "Lao Bai and I have known each other since we were young, and he understands my temper best."

Zhou Qizun: "If I don't want to say it, if it's sad to say it, he shouldn't ask."

Zhou Qizun: "I just told him that Xiaoyi..."

Zhou Qizun smiled relaxedly: "He doesn't even know how to ask. It's not enough for him to cry."

Zhou Qizun: "I have also thought about my family's matter. When we finally settle it, I will tell Lao Bai that it is seeking revenge."

Zhou Qizun really thought about it, and he didn't want to involve any irrelevant people: "When I was a special soldier, I caught too many heinous criminals. It's not uncommon to be retaliated against. Anyway, we have been so suspicious for a long time. gone."

"As for the two of us, you don't have to worry about it. Bai Yuxing wants me to find someone to settle down with, and you don't need to explain your origins. We will make up one later, and sister-in-law will have something to say when she asks."

Zhang Jueming carefully looked at Zhou Qizun's face.Zhou Qizun's skin is not good, and there are two scar marks that can be seen - it was left by his early injuries.

Zhang Jueming's eyes traced it inch by inch, and his heart was seized one by one.

He was about to open his arms and be hugged and coaxed by Zhou Qizun.

Like coaxing a child who is aggressive and aggressive, hug him, say a few soft words, say the kind of words that will make people burst into tears.

But Bai Yuxing came down from upstairs at this time, and Zhang Jueming had to withdraw the hand he had just stretched out.

Zhou Qizun understood Zhang Jueming, so he quickly grabbed Zhang Jueming's hand.

"I've waited so long, I'm sorry." Bai Yuxing walked down the stairs.Zhang Jueming saw sharply that his nose and eyes were still red.
