Burning fire

It rained until midnight.

At two o'clock in the morning, the rain stopped.The night after the rain was extraordinarily cold, the air was like a wet knife, panting in one breath, opening the airway with one knife, it was a string of sparkling crystals that chilled the heart.

A shadow merged into the night and flashed swiftly in midair.

Zhang Jueming stepped on the wall, turned over and jumped, and sat outside Zhou Qizun's window.

The heavy curtains were drawn tightly, and Zhang Jueming sat on the window sill, moved his ears, and could hear the breathing of a person and a cat sleeping soundly inside.

"My brother is asleep?" Zhou Yi asked softly in Zhang Jueming's pocket.

"Hush." ​​Zhang Jueming's voice became softer, and he stepped on the window sill to use his strength to turn up.

His body is nimble, like a slender and light butterfly, he flew to the roof in a few strokes.

"He fell asleep." Zhang Jueming stood on the roof and looked downstairs.It was damp and dark below.

There was no more sound from the longevity bell, it seemed that Zhou Yi couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.

Zhang Jueming then took out his trouser pocket and took out his key from the pocket.

The key above is for a rental house.The small shabby house was only rented for lodging, so it was not important.What matters is the charm on the key.

If Zhou Qizun's eyes hadn't been injured, and he had been more shrewd, and even more careful, he might have been able to see clearly in the cave at that time - the plastic ball of the pendant contained two red cherries.Red cherries made of light clay.

These two cherries are custom made, from Zhou Qizun's hands.It was Zhang Jueming who placed his order last year.

This thing fell into the eyes of the master, although it had been more than a year, Zhou Qizun was careless and couldn't remember the appointment, but Zhang Jueming had a ghost in his heart, how could he not be nervous. ——This is not easy to be watched by Zhou Qizun.

Zhang Jueming checked it carefully several times, and rubbed the plastic ball again to make sure nothing was broken. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and put the key back into his pocket again.

It was cold and cold at night, Zhang Jueming only stood in a small corner on the roof, guarding the person downstairs until dawn, until dawn.

.

It rained in the middle of the night last night, but today is sunny.

Zhou Qizun's sleep was poor, coupled with his worries, he woke up very early in the morning.

After waking up early, his stomach was very empty, so Zhou Qizun carried a lazily yawning black cat on his shoulder, and searched all over the two floors of the house, but unfortunately found nothing that could fill his stomach.He had no choice but to make himself another glass of sugar water and drink it down.

After washing up, Zhou Qizun changed his clothes, turned his face and said to the girl squatting on the table: "The window on the first floor is opened for you. There is nothing to eat at home. If you are hungry, go out and beg for food. I have something to do, so I have to go out." one trip."

Girl of Spades: "..."

Miss Spades slept comfortably last night, so she doesn't bother to get angry with Zhou Qizun at the moment.The kitten didn't remember the adults' mistakes, narrowed its eyes, and let out a meow.

It's not bad for it to be slack, since last night, it has smelled that Zhang Jueming is around, and now Zhang Jueming is also there, very close, the distance... is less than ten meters.

With Zhang Jueming watching Zhou Qizun in person, he was naturally happy to be a delicate pet stray cat.

Over there, Zhou Qizun put on his cell phone, put on his shoes, and was about to open the door and leave.

When he put on the doorknob, Zhou Qizun thought—Yesterday Zhang Jueming said he would come to see him in the morning, but the two didn't agree on a specific time. Isn't it too early?

But it doesn't matter, it's better to be early, Zhou Qizun happened to go out for breakfast first.

But when Zhou Qizun opened the door, he was stunned.Apart from Sunshine who hadn't fully woken up, what he saw with his eyes was Zhang Jueming's face.

Zhang Jueming was actually standing in front of Zhou Qizun's door.

Zhou Qizun opened his mouth slightly, but didn't speak for a second.Then he twisted his face and asked, "How long have you been standing at the door? Why didn't you knock when you came?"

"Not long ago, I just came here." Zhang Jueming smiled lightly, "I wanted to knock on the door, but I heard you were coming out."

To say that people are good-looking is a kind of talent.Seeing Zhang Jueming smiling so shallowly in the early morning, it was quite refreshing.

Zhou Qizun twitched the corner of his mouth, and just said: "It works so well through the iron door, please take your psychic ears away."

Zhang Jueming was stunned for a second: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen."

Zhou Qizun: "...tsk."

"Did I say anything?" Zhou Qizun stepped out of the door frame, turned around to close the door, and locked it again, "Young man, you love to apologize so much."

He turned his head, cast a sideways glance at Zhang Jueming, pulled one corner of his mouth, and smiled briefly: "You can't be too good-tempered these days. Do you understand?"

Zhou Qizun originally said it as a joke, intended to be teasing, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jueming nodded honestly: "Yeah."

Zhou Qizun: "..."

Zhang Jueming blinked his eyes naturally.In the early morning light, a large piece of thin golden light poured down, falling on the top of Zhang Jueming's head, shoulders, and fluttering eyelashes.From Zhou Qizun's point of view, Zhang Jueming's eyelashes were unnaturally long, dense and slender, and looked very soft.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zhou Qizun was silent, Zhang Jueming asked.

"It's okay." Zhou Qizun waved his hand, looked down at his watch, and asked casually, "It's still early, have you had breakfast yet?"

"No." Zhang Jueming answered truthfully.

"That's right, let's go together." Zhou Qizun said.As he said that, he walked to the small path on the left, "There is a shop not far ahead that sells breakfast, eat a couple of bites before going to the police station."

"Okay." Zhang Jueming obediently followed behind Zhou Qizun, not saying much, only the little Kan'er was carefully savoring his own bitterness and sweetness.

Looking at his promising future, he's not half the size of a fingernail.Just now Zhou Qizun said "Let's go together", just such a casual nonsense, can actually stir up a wave of Zhang Jueming's small thoughts.

Timid and timid, thinking too much.Nondescript, indecent.Zhang Jueming, damn it.

Zhang Jueming sighed, took an extra half step, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Qizun.

The morning light was just right along the way, neither of them spoke, they just stretched their long legs side by side.

A heavy rain has washed away a lot of dust in the city, and the streets look a little newer. The soil in the flower beds on the side of the road is moist, and some green grass tips have emerged. Before long, delicate flower buds will definitely emerge.

The breakfast shop is not far away, and the two arrived soon.The small shop on the side of the street, catch up with work, the room is full of people, there is no table at all.

Although the time was short, Zhou Qizun was obviously not a patient owner. He saw that the tables in the room were full, and immediately turned his head and said to Zhang Jueming, "Can you take it out after buying and eat outside?"

"Okay." Zhang Jueming had no temper, of course it was Zhou Qizun who said what.

Zhang Jueming: "Then I'll go..."

"I'll go buy it." Zhou Qizun took him one step ahead and said, "Yesterday you invited the barbecue, why can't I ask my savior to invite me to have breakfast again?"

Zhou Qizun: "What do you want to eat? Are there any taboos?"

"There are no taboos, anything is fine." Zhang Jueming said.

"Okay." Zhou Qizun nodded, turned and went into the shop.

Zhang Jueming watched Zhou Qizun enter the store, and watched Zhou Qizun pointing to the sign on the wall and talking to the boss.He stood on the side of the road, behind him was the sound of passing wheels, on the left was the chatter of strangers, and on the right was the wind of freedom in early spring.

"The savior." Zhang Jueming muttered to himself, and suddenly laughed at himself, keeping his eyes on Zhou Qizun, and said softly, "You are my savior."

.

Zhou Qizun was quick and quick, and he came out with two bags of breakfast in a short time.

"Here." He handed Zhang Jueming a bag.

Soy milk, beef patties, and a peeled marinated egg.

"Is it enough?" Zhou Qizun asked while biting the soy milk straw.

"That's enough. Thank you." Zhang Jueming said, and he also bowed his head and took a sip of soy milk.

Unlike Zhou Qizun's five big and three rough virtues, Zhang Jueming is still particular.After he took a sip of soy milk, a thin drop of milky white stained his lower lip, and he pursed his lips again.

"..." Zhou Qizun looked away and walked under the big tree a little farther away, "Go and stand by the side to eat, and let's get down to business by the way."

"Okay." Zhang Jueming followed Zhou Qizun to stand under the big tree.

Zhou Qizun gnawed on the marinated egg, and said in his heart: "The young man is really obedient."

After destroying a marinated egg, Zhou Qizun asked: "Yesterday you said you had a way to go to the police station with me, but you didn't show up. Now it's time to tell me. What is the way?"

Zhou Qizun also pondered over this issue last night.Especially after he saw that the evil spirit talisman was waterproof. ——A strange person like Zhang Jueming may come up with some wonderful method to open Zhou Qizun's eyes.

A charm with clairvoyance?Even stealth?Anyway, there is nothing impossible, only unexpected, Zhou Qizun is already mentally prepared, waiting for Zhang Jueming to open the skylight.

But in fact... Zhang Jueming really surprised him.

Zhou Qizun saw that the handsome young man on the opposite side was suddenly a little cautious.Zhang Jueming took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked up at Zhou Qizun, and said, "Let's exchange phone numbers. When you enter the police station, we will keep talking."

"..." Zhou Qizun was so cautious that he didn't choke on the soy milk in his mouth.

He swallowed the soy milk and asked strangely: "Then why do you still have to come with me? Is it meaningful for you to come here?"

Listen to the phone...they can listen to the phone even if they are thousands of miles away!

"Of course." Zhang Jueming said seriously, "I'm near the police station. If there is any danger, I will go there as soon as possible."

--I'm on your side.I will be by your side as soon as possible.

"Okay." Zhou Qizun frowned and nodded.

He can't be the master of this matter, he can only listen to Zhang Jueming.Zhou Qizun took Zhang Jueming's cell phone and entered his phone number.

While holding the phone, Zhou Qizun accidentally touched Zhang Jueming's finger again. The cold fingertips pierced Zhou Qizun's skin like an ice needle.

Zhou Qizun's brows did not open, he opened his mouth casually and asked: "It's not cold anymore, why are your hands always so cold? Is it because you are a mountain ghost?"

Zhou Qizun tapped the phone number and returned the phone to Zhang Jueming.He raised his eyebrows suddenly, and smiled at Zhang Jueming: "Is it because you just washed your hands with cold water?"

Zhang Jueming's eyes flickered.I don't know if he was dazzled by Zhou Qizun's smile, or by the bright sunlight.

Years ago on Xiaotai Mountain, they met formally for the first time. When shaking hands, Zhou Qizun asked him if his hands were cold, and he replied "I just washed my hands in cold water".

Smart people talk to smart people, the taste in these words... Zhang Jueming was reflected, and his heart and lungs were blunted.He lowered his head slightly, his eyes seemed to be defeated, and he retreated in embarrassment.

Zhang Jueming gritted his molars, but said lightly: "I promise I won't lie to you again this time."

"I may not be able to take care of this matter, but Jiang Liu counts as my younger brother. At the very least, I want to know how he disappeared."

Yesterday, Zhou Qizun said this, Zhang Jueming felt sour in his heart when he recalled it.

He was jealous.He had the audacity to be jealous of a man who died unjustly.But why is he jealous?It doesn't make sense.

Zhou Qizun would prevent him from playing tricks, and he should be vaccinated.After all, Jiang Liu is Zhou Qizun's younger brother, and Zhang Jueming... Zhang Jueming is just an abnormal "person" who has cheated him with Zhou Qizun.

Zhou Qizun treated Zhang Jueming politely, and his words were tactful and reserved. To put it bluntly, it was only because Zhang Jueming "coincidentally" saved Zhou Qizun's life.

"Is this wronged?" Zhou Qizun looked at Zhang Jueming's face and thought.

Zhou Qizun observed his words and demeanor, and only felt that Zhang Jueming was delicate in heart, and he was even more difficult to deal with than a girl in the delicate period.

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Qizun still had to explain a few words to his savior.

He is extremely divisive and lacks patience. Although he has the excellent quality of "thought and carefulness", he is straight like a mallet when he comes up, and he simply finishes his words: "I don't trust you enough, but I don't doubt that. So far. Looking at it now, you lied to me for a reason, and I'm not so narrow-minded, so I won't let you go."

Zhou Qizun: "What I mean is, now that I've gotten involved, you don't have to bother to care about me and hide anything from me. No matter what the weird situation is, I can accept it. This time I made it clear ?"

"Well, I understand." The sun that fell on his body became warmer, and Zhang Jueming's whole body became warm.

Look, he was right, Zhou Qizun is the most gentle.

The world is intricate and chaotic, and human nature is multifaceted and complicated, but Zhou Qizun, he always has the most correct kindness.His softness may be rough, but it can be touched clearly—it can hurt the fingertips.The cat of spades is not good enough, it still doesn't understand.

"That's enough." Zhou Qizun waved his hand, walked two steps quickly, threw the clean breakfast bag into the trash can, and came back and said to Zhang Jueming, "Eat quickly, and we will go to the police station after eating."

"Ah." Zhou Qizun suddenly remembered, and said, "Before going to the police station, I have to go to the supermarket again."

"What to buy at the supermarket?" Zhang Jueming looked at Zhou Qizun and asked.

"Chocolate." Zhou Qizun smiled lightly, "I promised Jin Mingyu to buy him chocolate."

Zhang Jueming bit the beef patty and secretly looked at Zhou Qizun and Yangguang.

The sun is the light of all things, and Zhou Qizun is his sun.
