Burning fire

"Sleep" is a rascal who often doesn't deal with Zhou Qizun, and is not willing to talk to him every now and then, such as tonight.

Zhou Qizun was quite tired this day, but he just couldn't sleep.She lay awake on the bed, then was disturbed by Bai Yuxing's loud snoring, completely lost sleepiness.

Fucking insomnia again.

Zhou Qizun lay numb on his back, simply turned over, picked up his coat, grabbed his cigarette case and went out to puff.

He went down the stairs at the back, and it happened to be the backyard when he went out.

There is a big pear tree planted in the backyard. This tree is quite old. It is said that it was a seedling decades ago. Zhou Yunheng and my sister-in-law had it when they were young. It was planted in the yard of their hometown. They always climbed up to pick pears when they were young.

Later, the dilapidated house in my hometown was demolished, and my sister-in-law spent money to find someone to move the tree to the current land. She originally had the mentality of giving it a try, but she really planted it alive unexpectedly.

It can be seen that "things are different from people", and I am really touched.

There was a pressure well under the tree. Zhou Qizun sat by the well with his long legs spread out, blocking the wind with one hand and lighting a fire with the other.The fireworks lit up, and he took a deep breath at the same time.

Smoking nicotine together with the cold, his dark lungs immediately became transparent.

Zhou Qizun exhaled smoke for a long time, and when he raised his head, he froze immediately.

——He actually saw a figure standing on the top of the opposite building!Who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and runs to the roof to blow the cold wind?

But before he stood up and took a closer look, the figure suddenly disappeared again.It was frighteningly fast, as if melting into the dark night in an instant.Zhou Qizun's eyes widened, he even forgot to smoke.

He stared for four or five seconds before he was sure that the look just now was an illusion.

Zhou Qizun took another puff of cigarette, and the fine gray and white ash fell down and was blown away by the wind.

"I'm really blind." Zhou Qizun cursed vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth.

This night, he had auditory hallucinations and lameness... Even if he is not hearing and seeing well, he is only 33, so he is already aging prematurely?

Zhou Qizun sighed, and took out another cigarette.

I can't stop my addiction.Sitting by the well, he smoked six cigarettes, one after another, in the old cold wind late at night, and finally his mouth was stunned by the cold.

If your mouth is dull, you won't be able to taste the smell of smoke.Zhou Qizun had no choice but to give up.He stood up and stomped his feet on the spot.

After such a toss, drowsiness has been getting farther and farther away from him, and now it is so far away that he can't get a tail, and he is not going to sleep at all.

Zhou Qizun went back through the back door, took off the cold, put the cat on the small kang in the corner of the lobby, took out his mobile phone... and started to watch the news.

The plateau panther, the Type 15 light tank was born for the plateau!

The United States stands on the opposite side of the world again...

The golden retriever who was fostered ran away for more than 100 kilometers to go home...

A 16-year-old young girl was abducted to the deep mountains and suffered all kinds of abuse for five years.

"...Damn it." Zhou Qizun suddenly threw the phone aside.He raised his head, pressed his arms over his eyes, and his chest sank slowly.

.

A gust of wind howled suddenly in the cold night, and the branches of the old pear tree swayed violently, making a dry and hard knocking sound.It has nothing, the leaves and fruits are all taken away by the cold winter, and the branches are torn by the wind, as if countless lonely and desperate hands are struggling to survive.

It took a while for the wind to stop, and the branches finally stopped struggling.

Zhang Jueming did not know where he fell from, but he happened to land on the bottom of a tree, his feet were firmly planted on the ground, without making any sound.

Zhang Jueming walked to the edge of the well, looked ahead, and there was a small but warm light from the window.He looked at it for a while, then bent down slightly to look at the six cigarette butts at his feet.

"You can't smoke less." Zhang Jueming unconsciously muttered.This tone is difficult to discern, and it is full of complaints and love, but it is lacking in spirit and does not dare to surmise, rather like "Du swallows his voice, dare not speak."

Regardless of what he is complaining about.What qualifications does he have...

It was his wishful thinking again.

Zhang Jueming straightened up, and lightly turned the little bell in his hand: "I almost saw him just now."

The bell under the moonlight is still flowing, so beautiful that it is unreal.But this time there was no voice to respond to Zhang Jueming.

Zhang Jueming frowned slightly, and quickly brushed his other hand across his waist. In just a second, a cold light flashed, and the knife pinned to his side quickly came out of its sheath, and then fell back into its sheath, as fast as lightning.

Zhang Jueming withdrew his hand, and a small gash had been pierced in the pulp of his index finger, and warm red blood dripped out.

The bloody finger touched the bell, and at that moment, the bell suddenly glowed white, and the bright red blood was sucked in.

This longevity bell is the treasure of the underworld, refined from the root of the longevity tree under the underworld.The sound of the bell is broken, but once reincarnated.It can gather the vitality of the world, the sun and the moon, foster the three souls and seven souls, and lead the dead to the world.

The mountain ghost was originally a ghost born in the wild mountains, and its essence and blood are connected with the heaven, spirit and earth. As a descendant of the mountain ghost, Zhang Jueming uses his own blood to nourish the longevity bell, which complements each other.

It's a pity that the soul in the longevity bell was seriously injured by a fierce demon, and almost lost its wits when it entered the bell.Zhang Jueming has been raising her for many years, but he still cannot reincarnate her.Not only can the soul inside not come out, but it often falls into a deep sleep.Like now.

Zhang Jueming exhaled slowly, and in just a few seconds, the wound on his finger had healed.

"Have a good rest." Zhang Jueming said to Changshengling, and put it back in his pocket.

.

Early the next morning, Lao Peng came over with food and drinks.Sure enough, he tossed a large table of delicious food for Zhou Qizun and the others.

Zhou Qizun went to the backyard and splashed cold water on his face, his brain was numb from the drenching, the cold wind was blowing on his face, and even the pores of his sweat were blowing air-conditioning.

Zhou Qizun wiped off the drops of water on his chin with his hands, and when he returned to the lobby, he saw Bai Yuxing chatting happily with Uncle Peng.

"So that's how it was done." Uncle Peng laughed.

"That's right, slice it twice before adding ingredients, follow the texture, anyway, it's more delicious when roasted on the other side." Bai Yuxing raised his eyebrows and said.

Both of them run restaurants, and it is estimated that they have a lot of common topics in terms of technology.

"Xiao Zun? Did you wash your face with cold water?" Uncle Peng was stunned when he saw Zhou Qizun.

"You don't know how to use the well water in the backyard? How cold is it in this cold day?" Uncle Peng became concerned.

Zhou Qizun waved to Uncle Peng, but said nothing.After being baked by the clay kang all night, his throat was very dry at the moment, so he picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it down.

"Hey, the water is cold too..." My sister-in-law also came over, holding a kettle in her hand, presumably she wanted to add hot water.

But it didn't come in handy, Zhou Qizun had already drunk a large glass of cold water.

"It's okay." Zhou Qizun wiped his mouth, put down his cup, and let out a breath of cool air.

"What's all right? I don't want my stomach? Drink cold water early in the morning on an empty stomach?" The sister-in-law was not happy, and she put down the water bottle without any hesitation. She stepped up to Zhou Qizun, opened her mouth and began to point fingers.

After being taught by her sister-in-law, Bai Yuxing saved her usual nagging energy and just sighed.

"Xiao Zun is 31 this year, isn't he?" Uncle Peng on the side suddenly bent down and asked Bai Yuxing.

"33." Bai Yuxing pouted.Judging by that expression, Zhou Qizun meant it - he's 33, and he's still acting like a bastard.

Uncle Peng definitely meant the same thing, but he was much more polite than Bai Yuxing.Uncle Peng only whispered: "I'm not young anymore, I'm not a child anymore, so I don't want to find a suitable person?"

Bai Yuxing thought, "Who says it's not?" He is two years older than Zhou Qizun, but he has been married for more than six years.I have been working hard for business in the early years, but it has finally stabilized in the past two years. My wife Li Man is also preparing for pregnancy.

It's too late for him.Look at Zhou Qizun again...

Lonely and widowed, not working hard, not distinguishing five grains, lacking in virtue, and no one to take care of... Just thinking about it makes my brain hurt.

"There are no good girls around him?" Uncle Peng usually doesn't like to gossip, probably because he really cares about Zhou Qizun and treats him like a child, so he cares so secretly.

When Bai Yuxing heard this, she wrinkled her face and shook her head: "Good girl...there really isn't one."

It stands to reason that Zhou Qizun is good-looking, even if he doesn't have that kind of thoughts on weekdays, he doesn't have to worry about attracting bees and butterflies.It's just that this person's preference is a bit special, because girls will never have this preference.

Lao Peng is an outsider who doesn't know, and my sister-in-law probably doesn't know either.

——Zhou Qizun doesn't like women, he likes men, he is born gay.

But that's not the point.Even if you don't have a girl, don't get married and have children, it's good to find a male partner as a companion.Regardless of male or female, Zhou Qizun should not live in such a careless way.

As Bai Yuxing thought about it, his thoughts gradually went astray.

Thinking back when Zhou Yunheng knew about this, he didn't discount Zhou Qizun's legs, and Jiang Qiuqin even wiped away his tears. Even Zhou Yi, who was less than ten years old, ran to Bai Yuxing and cried.The little girl was crying so hard that she howled to him: "Brother Dabai, my brother is going to be beaten to death by my father!"

However, no one can stand up to Zhou Qizun.This wicked bastard was only 16 years old back then, and his body was still bruised from being beaten by his own father. The next day, he brought a fair and tender boy home and announced to his parents that he was his boyfriend.

Not to mention puppy love, but also so deviant, Zhou Yunheng is really strong that he didn't get a heart attack by the rebellious son.

Back then, the young man was so cowardly, he did evil and had no taboos.And now...

Bai Yuxing glanced at Zhou Qizun, and immediately clicked the tip of his tongue. ——Zhou Qizun had a very shallow smile on his face, and he was tilting his head slightly, standing there and letting his sister-in-law teach him a lesson.He suddenly opened his mouth to say something, the aunt's solemn face was not tense, she slapped him hard on the shoulder, and smiled.

Bai Yuxing's heart seemed to be crushed by a rock that was neither light nor heavy.

He doesn't know what Zhou Qizun did in those years when he was a soldier, but Zhou Qizun has changed in the past eight years since he came back.

All his wild thoughts were gone.Xiao Ai couldn't bring up the love, and her temper became even darker.Even if he is as slick-tongued as before, he is no longer the same as before, and there is always a kind of unspeakable forbearance in his gestures.

Pain and hatred are the most exhausting.

"It would be great if he could let go. Even if he can't let go, at least don't squeeze himself so tightly." Uncle Peng said suddenly without thinking.

These words did not make sense, but Bai Yuxing understood.He shook his head unconsciously, and said in a daze: "Impossible, there is blood and blood."

Yes, blood feud.Especially Zhou Qizun is like this.

After speaking, Bai Yuxing rubbed his face.Lao Peng also seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, and immediately looked away, without further arguing.

The sister-in-law finally finished the criticism.The customers in the store were about to wake up, so my sister-in-law went to the back kitchen and started preparing breakfast.

After Zhou Qizun was scolded, he walked up to Bai Yuxing and sat down, picked up a dumpling on the table and threw it into his mouth, chewed two bites and nodded: "It's delicious. Uncle Peng, the stuffing is really delicious."

"It's fine if you think it's delicious." Lao Peng smiled, and suddenly said, "Well...tomorrow they will go to Xiaotai Mountain to see the waterfall."

He didn't know if it was suitable, but looking at Zhou Qizun's face, he still asked tentatively: "You two are fine tomorrow...how about going along too?"

Lao Peng: "When I come back, it's all about getting some fresh air. Xiaobai hasn't been to Xiaotai Mountain yet, has he?"

"Oh, I haven't been there before." Bai Yuxing was delighted when he heard it. "Xiaobai" is quite a funny name.But stronger than "Little Rain" and "Little Star".

Bai Yuxing was blessed to the heart, and immediately understood that Uncle Peng put this point at this juncture, just to let Zhou Qizun relax, so he responded: "Uncle Peng said so, I really want to go."

"Go if you want. It will save you from being bored." Lao Peng said, "I see the weather forecast, it will heat up tomorrow, and the wind will not be too strong. The guide leading the team is a veteran, absolutely safe. This is the last time before the year, people. Not much, just tell the team leader and pay the money.”

"Zun'er?" Bai Yuxing poked Xia Zhou Qizun with his elbow, "Going?"

"Let's talk about it." Zhou Qizun picked up the porridge bowl, raised his head and drank it clean.

The author says:

Du swallowed, not daring to speak. ——"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Cao Jie Biography"

In addition, "Mountain Ghost" is the title of Qu Yuan's "Chu Songs Nine Songs", which is a song dedicated to mountain gods.Regarding the identity of the mountain ghost, there are many folk legends in China, such as goddesses, ghosts, mountain gods, etc.Then the setting of the mountain ghost in this article is my nonsense. (uppercut)

Finally, I have to explain that Jiang Qiuqin has passed away for a while, and Zhou Qizun, an unfilial thing, just came back to bury his ashes (it was clearly stated earlier).Lao Peng and Bai Yuxing proposed to let him go up the mountain just to catch an opportunity and want him to relax, not for fun.It's normal, after all, Zhou Qizun has always been depressed recently.If you don't play right after the burial, you don't respect the meaning of the deceased.Hope I made it clear.

A lot of nonsense today, hope to bear with me.
