Burning fire

"Okay, stop whispering, hurry up, the meat is ready." Li Man just boiled a plate of mutton, and asked Zhou Qizun to eat.

Bai Yuxing had already brought his chopsticks and wine glasses.He placed four cups, poured juice for Li Man, and asked Zhang Jueming, "Young guide doesn't drink juice, does he?"

"Can I drink?" Zhou Qizun also asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Jueming really never drank alcohol, he said truthfully, "I have never drank alcohol."

Zhou Qizun could basically have expected it, there was no big surprise, but Bai Yuxing was startled: "You must be in your 20s, have you ever had a drink?"

"No." Zhang Jueming said.He explained according to the caliber he made up with Zhou Qizun last night, "I grew up in an orphanage, and then I came out to work. The financial conditions are not very good. I have never touched alcohol or tobacco, and I have never thought about it."

"Good boy, it's not easy." Bai Yuxing sighed.

"Then Jueming should drink less." Zhou Qizun picked up Zhang Jueming's cup and asked for one for him.

The wine in Bai Yuxing's house was brewed by himself, it was strong enough, and Zhou Qizun was clear about it, he didn't intend to let Zhang Jueming drink more, but he was still willing to ask him to taste it.

Bai Yuxing poured a glass, and Zhou Qizun put the glass in front of Zhang Jueming: "Have a drink first."

Zhang Jueming: "Okay."

"Today, the three of us, there are only two bottles of wine on this table, no more." Zhou Qizun and Bai Yuxing said, "You drink so poorly, once you get drunk, it will be annoying."

"Damn." Bai Yuxing smiled.Those swollen eyes were pinched into two fleshy strips, which was funny and unpleasant.

"Okay, I'll let you catch the wind and listen to you." Bai Yuxing said, and raised his glass to touch it when he sat down. "Anyway, put aside the good and the bad, let's go first."

Zhang Jueming and Zhou Qizun toasted together.

After the toast, Zhou Qizun specifically told Zhang Jueming: "You don't have to drink it all at once, if you can't, just slow down."

Zhou Qizun raised his head and drank the spicy wine completely, his mouth was so hot that he hissed.

With this sound, anger rose from the lower abdomen, and a kind of heart-piercing exhilaration swelled out of his whole body.

Bai Yuxing immediately poured another cup for Zhou Qizun.He glanced sideways, and found that Zhang Jueming was not confused, and he was also bored.

Zhou Qizun looked at it and smiled.

"Hey, it's not bad." Bai Yuxing picked up the wine bottle and poured it for Zhang Jueming again.

Zhang Jueming picked up the cup to cooperate.

"Don't get him drunk." Zhou Qizun stretched out his hand to block it.

"It's so easy to get drunk." Bai Yuxing pushed Zhou Qizun's hand away.

"It's so old and young. Isn't it?" Bai Yuxing raised his voice and asked Zhang Jueming.

Zhang Jueming put down his glass full of wine, and after a moment of hesitation, he nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Qizun paid attention to Zhang Jueming's complexion, but he didn't see any redness, so it shouldn't matter much.

He picked up his glass and took another sip.

"You three don't just drink, eat quickly." Li Man had already picked up three plates of meat for the three of them.

Zhou Qizun picked up the chopsticks, just swallowed a big mouthful of mutton, and before it fell into his stomach, there were a few "bangs" from his side - Zhang Jueming's chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Huh? Why did you drop it?" Zhou Qizun was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to lower his head to help Zhang Jueming pick it up, Zhang Jueming actually put his body on the chair and collapsed, his head tilted and fell on his shoulder!

Zhou Qizun was so frightened that his heart trembled, he quickly dropped his chopsticks, and brushed Zhang Jueming's face: "Casia!"

He patted Zhang Jueming's cheek twice: "What's the matter, Jueming?"

Zhang Jueming's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't open them.Zhou Qizun was about to break out in a sweat. He listened and heard Zhang Jueming's steady and long breathing... Then he moved his nose to smell, and he smelled the strong smell of alcohol from his lips... ..

Zhou Qizun: "..."

Bai Yuxing and Li Man faced each other, also dumbfounded.

The table was quiet for a while.In the end, Li Man couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a burst of laughter.

When she smiled, Bai Yuxing and Zhou Qizun also laughed.

Because of Zhou Yi's matter, the three of them were all overwhelmed with stones, and their previous smiles were mixed with bitterness, but thanks to Zhang Jueming's foolishness, they finally smiled from the heart.

"Hey..." Bai Yuxing had to look at Zhang Jueming more, "What's the matter. I always thought that the so-called 'pour in a glass' was an exaggeration, just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to happen. "

"...I didn't expect that either." Zhou Qizun said helplessly. ——Is it because Zhang Jueming's drinking capacity is ridiculously poor, or is the mountain ghost allergic to fruit wine?

If I had known that I would not let him drink so much, I might as well order some with my own chopsticks and let Zhang Jueming taste the tip of his tongue.

"Aren't you dizzy? Can you still wake him up?" Bai Yuxing stood up, "I'll wash a towel, and you can wipe his face."

"No, you can sit down." Zhou Qizun put Zhang Jueming's head on his shoulder again.

Afterwards, he bowed and hugged Zhang Jueming: "I borrowed your sofa to use."

"It's too uncomfortable to be woken up after being drunk, so I won't call him." Zhou Qizun put Zhang Jueming on the sofa, looked around for his eyes, and raised his chin to Bai Yuxing, "Is there anything I can cover? "

"I'll get it." Li Man stood up as she spoke, went into the room and took out a thin towel quilt, and handed it to Zhou Qizun.

Zhou Qizun put the quilt on Zhang Jueming, and then sat back at the table.

Bai Yuxing still stood still, Zhou Qizun picked up his chopsticks and ate a mouthful of meat, and helped Li Man refill his glass of juice, Bai Yuxing still stood and didn't sit down.

"What are you standing there looking at? Still looking at me, what are you looking at?" Zhou Qizun looked at Bai Yuxing.

It is true that Bai Yuxing said that he had mixed feelings.He sat down slowly, paused for a while, and said earnestly and earnestly: "Man'er, look at our respected son, it's really..."

"What's the matter with me?" Zhou Qizun clicked his tongue and looked back at Zhang Jueming unconsciously.

"I see you will hurt people." Li Man smiled.

Li Man slowly closed her smile, her expression turned down: "Zun'er, don't mind if we say so."

Li Man: "To be honest, when Bai Yuxing told me that you brought someone back, we were both very worried."

"We have no other intentions, and we know that you are not someone who messes around in this area." Li Man said "Hi", "Just worrying about it."

"Catching up with Xiaoyi...we dare not touch your mood. Zhang Jueming, I didn't see him at first, but we heard from Bai Yuxing that he was ten years younger than you, so we were just worried about you ..."

"Sister-in-law, I know. I understand." Zhou Qizun picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and his throat was hot, "You have been my family all these years. I understand."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I've really thought about it." Zhou Qizun said seriously, "I and Cassia have known each other for a while..."

"Not long." It was actually very long.It was as long as Zhou Qizun didn't know.

"But some people fall in love with each other at first sight, and it's destined." Zhou Qizun smiled lightly, "To be honest, I didn't think about living a life before. Now things are getting closer, and Xiaoyi also..."

Zhou Qizun took another sip of his wine: "Maybe I should be hysterical. God has mercy on me."

Zhou Qizun turned his eyes to Zhang Jueming for the third time: "Everything will get better in the future."

"Okay. Okay." Li Man repeated, taking advantage of Zhou Qizun's inattention, she quickly wiped her eyes, "We don't ask too many questions, you have something to hide, we are used to it. Since you joined the army, we can't ask you anything. .But as long as you're doing well, that's fine."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Zhou Qizun said.He picked up a piece of meat and put it into Li Man's bowl.

Then Zhou Qizun picked up the small chili peppers used to enhance the flavor in a pot of soup, and put it into Bai Yuxing's bowl.

"...You bastard." Bai Yuxing cursed, picked up the little pepper with his chopsticks, bit his mouth, and chewed out two more packets of tears.

The table is empty, and the wine has bottomed out.There is no need to speak thoroughly to know the heart, since you already know the heart, why bother to talk too much.

Zhang Jueming did not wake up, Zhou Qizun squatted in front of him and touched his face.

"The medicine must be fermented in my wine, right? He fainted like this after just one drink." Bai Yuxing said behind him, holding the dishes.

"It's okay, I'll take him back." Zhou Qizun helped Zhang Jueming up, "It's just a pity, he hasn't eaten a few bites yet."

Bai Yuxing: "Come every day after I want to eat."

"Let me see you off and call a car for you." Bai Yuxing pointed to Zhou Qizun who was about to hug Zhang Jueming, "Hey hey hey, you are shameless and he wants more. Don't hug him, just carry it."

"..." Zhou Qizun glanced at Bai Yuxing, and it turned out to be back.

Just before going out, Li Man yelled in the room: "Wait!"

Li Man came out with a box in her arms, and wanted to give it to Zhou Qizun: "You went to Jishou before, this is something from your sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law?" Zhou Qizun was in a daze before remembering that when my sister-in-law moved earlier, she did say that she had sent something to him from her hometown, but he was in Jishou, and it was Bai Yuxing who collected it for him.

"Oh, this, okay, give it to me." But Zhou Qizun had nothing to hold.

Bai Yuxing took it over: "I'll take it. I'll send you two home and come back."

So, Bai Yuxing and Zhou Qizun walked all the way, and they got Zhang Jueming into a taxi, and he fell asleep all the way.

"He's going to be safe, right?" Bai Yuxing began to feel uneasy, feeling sick like an old lady, "Just a glass of wine, is it really like this?"

Zhou Qizun twitched his face: "It's okay."

"If there's anything wrong when you go back, call me quickly, and I'll take you to the hospital." Bai Yuxing looked at Zhang Jueming more—the expression on his face was indeed nothing, except that he was in a deep sleep, there was no other abnormality.

Zhou Qizun really didn't know how to be helpless.He nailed a sentence in his heart-Sir Shangui, absolutely, no, drink.

He helped Zhang Jueming into the house and placed him on the sofa first, while Zhou Qizun sent Bai Yuxing to the door.

"Okay, you'd better take him upstairs and sleep on the bed. I don't need you to escort me, and I'm not too drunk." Bai Yuxing went out, "I'll take a taxi and leave."

"Yeah." Zhou Qizun nodded, "I didn't intend to see you off, I just came out and locked the door."

Bai Yuxing rolled his eyes.

Bai Yuxing turned around and walked away. Before he could take a few steps, a young boy rushed out and bumped into Bai Yuxing twice.

"Hey!" Zhou Qizun hurried over.He saw clearly that the boy was Duan Ziyang, the grandson of the old Duan's family upstairs.

Duan Ziyang has been sick since he was a child, and his body is thin. Zhou Qizun was worried that he would fall, so he hurried over to help him.

"Ziyang, are you okay?" Zhou Qizun helped Duan Ziyang up.

Duan Ziyang shook his head, seeing that it was Zhou Qizun, he grinned: "Uncle Zhou, you are back."

"Hmm. You didn't hurt yourself? Does it hurt anywhere?" Zhou Qizun asked again.

At this time, Bai Yuxing also stood up, and asked at the same time: "How is it? Ziyang, what are you doing so fast?"

"Uncle Bai." Duan Ziyang apologized to Bai Yuxing, "I'm sorry Uncle Bai, I bumped into you."

"I'm fine, don't run so fast anymore, you know? The road is just a few steps away, it's dangerous." Bai Yuxing said earnestly.

Duan Ziyang nodded, turned around and walked home immediately.The child was somewhat autistic due to illness, Zhou Qizun and Bai Yuxing didn't pinch him, and didn't ask much.

Duan Ziyang walked away, and when he turned around the corner, Zhou Qizun suddenly saw a golden spot flashing across his neck.The light hurt Zhou Qizun's eyes.

"Hiss..." Zhou Qizun closed his eyes.

"What's wrong? Are your eyes uncomfortable?" Old Madam Bai asked quickly.

"It's okay. I got lost for a while." Zhou Qizun didn't care, he just thought it was Guanghuang's illusion, "You go home, I will go back and take care of Cassia."

"En." Bai Yuxing went to the street, took a taxi and left.

Zhou Qizun went back to the barber shop and locked the door.He went to look for Zhang Jueming on the sofa, and wanted to carry him upstairs, but he lowered his head—how could there be Zhang Jueming on the sofa?

People woke up?Slow down?

"Cassia?" Zhou Qizun immediately called out.

Zhang Jueming didn't answer him.

Zhou Qizun frowned, searched downstairs but couldn't find it, so he ran upstairs to look again.

He pushed the door open and saw Zhang Jueming in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief: "You didn't tell me when you went upstairs, how do you feel? Do you have a headache?"

Zhou Qizun walked over, and Zhang Jueming stared straight at him.Zhang Jueming's chest was bulging, and from his neckline, a big black haired face suddenly appeared.
