soul guide

The courtyard was filled with mist, although it was a bright day, but you couldn't see your fingers. Someone was humming a little song, babbling, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes mournful, making people's scalp numb and hair standing on end for no reason. Xiaoxi's body was very stiff, and her footsteps Walking forward uncontrollably, it suddenly became clear that it was not dark, and he suddenly realized that this was in a dream, and the surroundings were not real, and there was nothing to be afraid of. He gave himself courage.Every wall and tile here is very familiar. It is the home of him and Shen Pinglan. He quickened his pace and wanted to find his brother as soon as possible.

It's just that the dense fog didn't dissipate for a long time, but it became denser instead, and he couldn't go out for a long time. The strange voice was still in his ears, Xiaoxi was sweating profusely, and his steps became chaotic.Turning around the corridor to the side of the small pond, he vaguely saw a figure, no, it was two people, they were standing under the tree hugging each other, their behavior was very intimate.Xiaoxi's eyelids twitched, and she hid in the corner in fright. It took a long time to see a person's face, a pair of eyes very similar to his, looking bright and bright, it was his brother!

Shen Pinglan saw him, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, it was not for him, because he was still holding a person in his arms, that person had his back to him, and seemed to feel him, turned around, and it really was that arrogant ghost.

Xiao Xi was so angry that he stomped his feet, this man came to disturb his slumber, and wanted to occupy his brother, it was really bad!The man and Shen Pinglan looked at each other and smiled, then suddenly flashed in front of him.Before Xiaoxi could react, he grabbed his neck with his sharp claws. His nails were embedded in his flesh, and he almost fainted from the pain.

"Ah! Brother, help me, brother!" Xiaoxi couldn't breathe, rolled her eyes, and called him hoarsely: "Brother, brother..."

Xiaoxi called him helplessly, but Shen leaned on the railing and turned a deaf ear, unwilling to even look at him, turned around and left.

"elder brother!"

The man was annoyed by the noise, frowned, and roared angrily, "Shut up!"

Xiaoxi was startled, she stared at him blankly, swallowed the words on her lips, and tightly pursed her lips, not daring to speak out.

"You thought he would come to save you?" He smiled, and slapped Xiao Xi hard, making him dizzy and staring at his eyes. If he hadn't captured him to death, he would have been paralyzed in an instant. on the ground.

After the slap was still not satisfying, he slapped Xiao Xi like a madman, and cursed: "Scumbag, you deserve to call him brother? I will tear your mouth apart if I hear you call again!"

Caught off guard and being beaten, Xiao Xi was extremely wronged. He had never suffered such physical pain since he was young and was protected by Shen Leaning on a railing. Although it was in a dream, why did he feel pain? His mouth was full of blood, so he didn't beg for mercy, and retorted: "Then, that's my brother..."

The man was furious, "Bah! Hu Meizi, I'll slash your face first!"

As he spoke, he raised his nails that were several feet long. Xiaoxi closed her eyes subconsciously, and waited resignedly for the severe pain on her face. He thought that even if the whole face was destroyed, he would not change his words. He is so cruel, if he is killed, he will turn into a ghost and settle accounts with him.He just became a ghost. Since then, Yin and Yang have been separated, and he will never see his brother again.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi..."

He heard someone calling him, and listened for a while. It turned out that it was his elder brother. When his elder brother came back to save him, he knew that his elder brother would never leave him alone.

The confinement around his neck was suddenly loosened, and the surroundings were no longer white. He blinked vigorously, but couldn't see anything.His back was pressed against his warm and thick chest, his body was surrounded by his arms, and the kiss that was falling on his forehead was his brother kissing him, and his brother was beside him.

Someone backed him up to seek justice, and couldn't take any more pain, so Xiaoxi turned around and hugged him, then wailed bitterly.

Shen leaned on the railing to give him comfort, knowing that he had frequent nightmares recently, and basically he would be entangled as soon as he fell into a dream. Xiaoxi was too scared to touch the pillow, and she was too sleepy to close her eyes and sleep. She hugged his arm and groaned. Woo straight cry.

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry..."

Xiao Xi was terribly frightened, and hiccupped to complain to him, "Brother, there is a ghost in this house, you, why don't you believe me?"

"..."

Xiaoxi scolded him angrily, "He, I saw that he looks alike to me, he has been with me since I was a child, for so many years, I have told you so many times, every time I was almost killed by him, my How blind you are, you can't forget it, why don't you believe it!"

Shen Pinglan's throat was sore, and he didn't know how to answer him. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Xi, that's an illusion. There are... no ghosts in this world!"

"You lied to me! You lied to me!" Xiaoxi sat up slowly, far away from him, and said while wiping her tears, "Brother, I saw him, why does he look so similar to me, and why does he keep talking to me several times?" You are together, who is he? Who is he! Why is he pestering me, why is he refusing to let me go..."

"Xiao Xi!"

"Brother, he, is he the one who fell off the cliff and fell to his death?...Is he also your younger brother? I heard him call you brother, but when he heard me call you, he was so angry that he wanted to beat me... ..."

"Shut up!" Shen Pinglan interrupted him, scolding him with a livid face: "Where did you hear these messy rumors? You are my only brother, what other brothers do I have, whoever falls to his death does not matter to me thing!"

No matter how stupid Xiao Xi was, she could hear the panic in his voice.

"Brother," looking at him with a pair of lifeless eyes, Xiaoxi choked and said, "What is that room in the backyard closed? Why do you never allow me to come near? Since I am your own brother, you have something to do." Why are you hiding it from me?"

"Xiaoxi!" Shen Pinglan turned his face away and said coldly: "Since you can remember, has my brother treated you well? I have accommodated you in everything, and there is something my brother has never respected you. I wish I could pick the moon from the sky and give it to you. You talk to your brother like this? Now that you have grown up, you have a rebellious heart, and your brother understands it, but you shouldn’t question your brother! Since you were young, you have always made up lies to deceive me. I turned a blind eye , reluctantly believe it, and in all fairness, brother treats you badly?"

Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "Okay, of course my brother treats me well, but—" It's just that he vaguely feels that his brother's love is not for him.

"Do you want to continue talking nonsense?" Shen Pinglan yelled sharply, Xiaoxi immediately fell silent, with his head down, he didn't even dare to breathe out, he was rarely angry, once Shen Pinglan talked to him in such a cold voice, The consequences will be really serious. I will ignore him for a few days, don't talk to him, just bring the food when it's time to eat, and leave without saying a word. Xi was tortured so much that life would be worse than death, and his brother not being close to him was more uncomfortable than killing him.

Shen Pinglan said ruthlessly: "A few years ago, you were young and had no barriers to speaking. I wanted to use this method to make my brother care about you more. My brother understands, but you are a ghost when you open your mouth and shut your mouth. You are always surprised. , do you know, how many times have I been frightened by you, every time it was you who made trouble out of nothing, made trouble on purpose, pretended to be pitiful and violated by dirty things when there was nothing to do, and made me in vain Worrying for you... It's not that I don't want to believe you, I have been teased by you several times, do I still dare to believe your words now?"

"Brother..." Xiaoxi couldn't even cry this time, she couldn't argue with it, no matter what you said, Shen Pinglan wouldn't believe it, forget it, he was really angry this time, Xiaoxi didn't dare to make him angry again .He slowly climbed out of bed, moved to Shen Pinglan's arms, put his arms around his waist, and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Brother, I was wrong, don't be angry, just forgive Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi won't dare anymore, just Xiaoxi didn't lie to you, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, just don't mention Xiaoxi in the future, don't ignore me..."

The skirt was stained with damp, Xiao Xi buried her head on his chest, she didn't cry out for the first time, Shen Pinglan felt a little distressed, Xiao Xi was just an ignorant and kind child, but he teamed up with others to lie to him, he was so Xiaoxi, who tricked him into treating him as a god, will surely suffer retribution in the future and fall into the endless hell, where they will never be reborn forever.He has already failed Xiao Xi once in this life, and what he owes Xiao Xi can only be repaid in the next life.

After dark, the courtyard was extremely lively. There was a temple fair today, and the snow stopped rarely. The street was full of lights, and the lights were swimming. Even in the bedroom, the noise outside could be heard. Xiaoxi choked up and pricked up her ears Quietly listen to the noise outside.

Until Shen leaned on the railing and entered the room, even though his movements were very light, he still heard it, wiped his face indiscriminately, rolled into the soft quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

How could Shen Pinglan not understand his little movements, he was sad about what happened during the day, he didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of food just now, now he was hiding under the blanket and trembling, he couldn't help laughing.She leaned over to pull him out, but Xiao Xi was very stubborn, her little hands clutched the quilt tightly and refused to move, his strength was no match for a heavy leaning on a railing, and with a slight pick, his hiding place was turned upside down.

Xiaoxi whimpered and wanted to hide, but Shen Pinglan grabbed his wrist. He struggled a few times, but when he found it was futile, he gave up the resistance. His red and swollen eyes made Shen Pinglan feel a pain in his heart, and felt very guilty for him.Shen Pinglan went to hug him helplessly, Xiaoxi fought with him several times to hide, but was finally hugged by him.

He knew why and asked, "Xiaoxi, why are you ignoring brother?"

"Hmph!" Xiaoxi said nothing, opened her mouth wide to bite him, but her mouth restrained a lot when it touched his shoulder, and her furry head rested on him, only to hear him gnash his teeth and say, "I'm here. I'm mad at you, don't talk to me, I don't like you anymore, brother."

He is usually stupid, and he likes to jump word by word when he speaks, making him look even more stupid and dumbfounded. Shen Pinglan held his little face, kissed his eyes softly, and said softly: "Be good, don't get angry. Alright, okay? My brother took you out to play, do you want to go out?"

He has already figured out Xiaoxi's temperament, and knows that he is not really angry with him. Every time there is a conflict, he will give some sweet words to coax Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi will quickly forget those sad things. After that, reconcile with him as before.

"Go out to play?" As soon as Xiaoxi heard about playing, she lost her temper immediately, jumped up from the bed, and cheered, "Okay, okay!"

He hadn't gone out for a few days, and when he heard that his brother was going to take him out, he was so happy that he fumbled around to find clothes, but he couldn't find them after a long time.

His clothes were thrown at the bottom of the bed because he was angry with him. Shen leaned over the railing to pick them up and put them on for him, but when putting on his shoes, Xiaoxi didn't want to stretch his feet anymore. The joy that was so high-spirited just now is gone.

Shen Pinglan was startled, and immediately understood what was going on. He pulled his reluctant foot, put it on patiently, and said, "Good boy, you have my brother here. Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if you can't see it. My brother will do it for you." His eyes, I can see all the beautiful scenery for you, and I will tell you about the autumn moon and spring breeze, and I will lead you to walk all over Kyushu, rivers, mountains, blue sky and yellow springs." He said so forgetfully, the two figures overlapped , For a moment, he couldn't tell who the person in his arms was, and his eyes watered, "...Xiao Xi, we will never be separated from life to life."

Thousands of lights in the night market illuminate the green clouds, and there are many people with red sleeves in high-rise buildings.Painted bridges with arborvitae, beams with fire, meandering rivers, and black boats.The main street with eight horses galloping side by side is full of people. The vendors pinch their waists and raise their heads to attract customers. The beauties and talents pass by in their fine clothes. The traffic is so busy that it is difficult for them to go out. They haven’t gone out for a long time. People are very uncomfortable, Xiao Xi was agitated by all kinds of voices on the street, he had a headache, he was very excited, his little hand held Shen Pinglan's big hand tightly, lest he would get lost, his head turned around from time to time to look around, obviously looking at everything Looking around unwillingly.

Shen leaned on the railing to hold his head, tucked it under his armpit, and told him about the surrounding scene in detail.At first, Xiaoxi was calm, but she became more and more noisy as she walked, she wanted to eat candied haws for a while, and dried pickled fish for a while, and when she heard someone performing a boulder-crushing performance, she immediately dragged Shen to the railing to follow the sound.

"Hey, isn't this Shen Wanxi?"

Someone suddenly put a hand on Xiao Xi's body, startling the two who were watching the acrobatics.

They both turned around together and saw that it was a young man with a few tall servants, with a smile that was not a smile for a while, and a look of disbelief on the face for a while, in short, those eyes never left Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi shuddered when she heard this man's voice, she burrowed into Shen Pinglan's arms, Shen Pinglan narrowed her eyes, protecting Xiaoxi who was shivering.He sized up this playboy-like young man, but he couldn't remember who he was, and said: "This young master knows your brother?"

The young man in brocade clothes and golden crown patted his fan and showed a very nice smile: "It's just a pleasure to spend a few days in the school with Mr. Shen, hey, Wan Xi, why don't you come to the school, I miss you so much these days , and... what happened to your eyes?"

He called out affectionately, with an ambiguous tone, and even stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Xi's eyes as he spoke, and when he reached closer, Shen leaned on the railing to block it.

"Brother, let's go!" Xiaoxi said in a low voice, Shen Pinglan could be regarded as remembering this person, Xiaoxi always touched him when he was in school, Xiaoxi cried and complained to him, and he went to the school to talk to Mr. After a few times, this talent restrained himself. He seldom went to school. Shen Pinglan failed to settle accounts with him, but only saw him a few times from a distance. If someone dared to bully his younger brother in the past, Shen Pinglan would definitely beat him until his mother didn't know him, but now, his temper is much calmer than before, and with their special identities, more things are worse than less things.

Shen Pinglan glared at him, took Xiaoxi into his arms and left, the man chased after him and yelled a few times, got bored, and walked away in embarrassment.After walking around several streets for a few times, only those who are too active will know how tired they are. Even when there are willow branches in the moonlight, he still pretends not to go back.

There was a teahouse bustling with people on the side of the street, and Shen leaned on the railing to drag him in. The young storyteller was wearing a blue cloth coat and a hand-held paper fan. When he was talking, he was full of impassioned saliva, and the black crowd burst into applause.

Shen leaned on the railing and couldn't resist Xiaoxi, so he led him into the teahouse, and purposely found a private room on the second floor to sit down. When he sat down, he was not honest, there seemed to be needles on the stool, jumping up and down, scratching his ears and cheeks, twisting his body to grab the snacks on the table .

Picking up the paw and throwing it into his mouth, he spit it out quickly, and said with disgust on his face: "It's not good, it's not good!"

Shen leaned on the railing and tapped on his head, "Are you here to listen to books or to look for food?"

After being scolded by her brother, Xiaoxi immediately stopped showing her teeth and claws, and sat obediently on the chair, put her hands on her knees and listened carefully to the ups and downs of the storyteller below.

Soon they were attracted by the bizarre stories that popped out of the man's mouth. The scene was still unfinished, and Xiaoxi didn't want to go back. It was late at night, and it was a rare time to come out. Shen Pinglan didn't want to disturb his interest, so he simply let him Have fun and leave him alone.

Xu Shi drank too much tea, his lower abdomen swelled up, and he was very uncomfortable. Because he was worried about Xiaoxi's safety, Shen leaned on the railing for a long time. "Xiaoxi, my brother is going to make things easier, and he will be back soon. You just stay here and don't run around."

Xiao Xi was just listening to the wolf demon fighting with millions of soldiers with his chin up, when he heard Shen Pinglan whispering something in his ear, he was very impatient, and waved his hand: "Got it, got it!"

Xiaoxi stayed there alone, even though he was extremely instructed, Shen Pinglan was still worried, but after he hurried back, the room was empty, and Xiaoxi who was sitting on the chair had long since disappeared.
