In Old Man Qi Xing's residence, Zhou Xin was still asleep, and I moved a chair to sit in the open space in front of the house, holding the back of my head with both hands. Looking up at the sky, it is rare that a few sparse stars can still be seen in the sky today.

"Boy, what do you want?"

Old man Qi Xing held a teapot and put on a big green jacket and walked to my side.

I shook my head and said, "I thought that I would go to Nanchang in a few days, and I stopped going out for adventures in a few days, and I sighed that I was working hard at a young age." ”

Old man Qi Xing sat down and took a sip of tea, and said softly, "Do you know why I want to retreat in this small alley? ”

I smiled lightly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of red dust, I want to be quiet, and I don't want to pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes." ”

Old man Qi Xing shook his head again and said, "You are wrong, we were born in this red dust, where can we avoid the red dust?" It's just a so-called seclusion in this little alley, but aren't you here? And didn't the girl come in too? ”

I frowned and asked, "Why is that?" ”

Old man Qi Xing took a sip of tea and said, "Just give yourself a home, why do you think Chinese like to live in one place for a lifetime?" Because we are familiar with it. It's like every day when I walk through the alley and walk out into the street, and when I walk in from the outside, I have a familiar feeling that I know how many meters I can walk to get to a place where I can completely let go of my tension, and this is home. My home is here, but where is yours? ”

The question that the old man Qi Xing threw at me, I wanted to answer it immediately, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't help but sink in my heart, and the night breeze blew through the alley and fell on my face, blowing my hair that I didn't have time to cut, and I felt a wave of sadness in my heart, because I couldn't tell where my home was!

Although my parents didn't like me when I was a child, I finally had a home that I was familiar with, and when I grew up. Follow the second uncle. I regarded the teahouse in Xiaobailou as my home, and when it was bigger, I thought that the small loft in Shanghai was my home. But when I arrived in Changchun, I lived in the house of the old man Qi Xing, and every day I went to the bitter mother-in-law's house to eat, and I was willing to be with them, and I knew that they also regarded me as their own child, but I was always afraid in my heart, afraid that these places would become a stop in my life as in the past. When the trains called life start again, they will be far away from me.

Home should be the final destination, but I don't know where my terminal is, and I don't know where my wandering life can be settled.

See that I don't speak. Old man Qi Xing smiled slightly, reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and then said in a low voice, "It seems that I should go to bed, you can talk." ”

I was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw Zhou Xin, who was haggard and wearing a coat, standing at the door of the room, looking at me.

Old man Qi Xing gently walked into the room on the other side, I smiled at Zhou Xin and said, "Are you awake?" Hungry or not, I'll make you something to eat. ”

stood up, but heard Zhou Xin whisper, "I'm not hungry." ”

Then she looked at me, for nine years, we did not look at each other so seriously, many nights, I dreamed of Zhou Xin is still the ten-year-old girl, the childish but very resolute girl, and at this time I looked at her face so seriously, but it seems that I can't overlap the face in front of me and the girl in my memory.

She has also grown up......

"Shouldn't I have come to you?"

She suddenly asked, I was stunned, shook my head with a smile and said, "How come?" You and Brother Tiger are my best friends, don't worry, I will definitely save Brother Tiger back. ”

I'm used to smiling like this, and some people say that after birth, a mask slowly builds up on your face, and when this mask completely covers your face, you can never take it off.

"Four years ago, Brother Hu came back from Shanghai and talked to me about you, and he said that you actually liked me, but I didn't know, I thought we were all children at that time. Am I hurting you? If yes, I can apologize to you, but please don't stop saving Brother Tiger because you hate me, I beg you, be sure to ......"

Zhou Xin's face flushed slightly, and her words began to become a little excited, I smiled, but there was a slight tingling feeling in my heart, maybe she was unintentional but such words still pierced my heart.

Still smiling, I waved my hand and said, "What a stupid thing to say!" I promise you, I will definitely save Brother Hu, and then hand it over to you completely, don't worry. ”

Zhou Xin slowly closed her mouth, and then walked gently in front of me, under the sparse starlight, compared to the starry sky on the night she left nine years ago, it seemed much dimmer at this moment.

Nine years later, I was half a head taller than her, but at this time I heard Zhou Xin whisper: "I want to go to Nanchang with you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook my head and said: "No, absolutely not, Nanchang is too dangerous, you have injuries, I'm afraid I can't protect you......"

But when I was halfway through my speech, Zhou Xin gently hugged me, gently like the parting dance nine years ago, she hugged me and whispered: "Let me go, I don't want to lose him, I don't need your protection, I can protect myself......"

As early as four years ago, when I dealt with Li San'er side by side with Brother Hu, I figured out one thing, the most unreasonable thing in this world is love, maybe you use your best to love someone, but the other party uses all your strength to love others.

You think you've given her all and you want to get the same in return, but where is that good?

Love can't be forced, so I don't blame Brother Hu, let alone Zhou Xin, they are not wrong, I am not wrong, if you want to blame, blame my young love.

I stood in the night breeze with a smile, feeling the long-lost warmth in my chest, gently put my hand on Zhou Xin's hair, stroked her long hair, and whispered, "You have a good night's sleep today, and then we will go to save Brother Tiger together, okay?" ”

She nodded at my chest, and I looked up at the unreachable night sky, and there were some things I would never say to the woman in front of me.

In fact, it's not that I hate you, but I can't bear it.

You brought me the brightest light in the darkest time of my life, and the moment you stood in front of me, you spread your arms and shouted at the ghost, "If you want to kill him, kill me first!" When you took my hand and called me little brother.

Those are my happiest moments, in my life, there are only two people who can cover me, one is called Bazaarhu, and the other is you.

Thank you, you used to make me like it, thank you, you used to warm my heart.

It's just that I won't say these words after all, just smile, and that's enough......

The next day, I quietly left the alley early in the morning, got into the car that Daqi had prepared, and set off for the train station.

Before dawn, Daqi yawned and said with a sleepy face: "It's so early, I brought five or six brothers, it should be enough." ”

I nodded and said, "That's enough, but it's going to Nanchang very dangerous, aren't you afraid?" ”

Da Qi laughed and said: "You have saved me twice, and if I don't repay the favor, I won't have a chance to repay it in this life." Don't worry, my life is very big, your life is also very big, I'll sleep for a while, and call me at the train station. ”

Daqi leaned against the passenger window and went in a daze, and the cat boy landed on my lap and whispered: "I think you are impulsive this time, but this is also your character, I still understand." ”

But I didn't speak, I gently rolled down the window and looked out at the brightly lit street, not knowing if I would ever see it again.

In Nanchang, in a secret dungeon, Baza Tiger was curled up in the corner of the cold cell with the shackles of Lingjue. At this moment, someone poured a large basin of cold water on the prison and landed on the Baza Tiger's body, and the Baza Tiger shook his whole body and woke up from his light sleep!

"What? Will you not be obedient? You're stubborn. ”

Someone outside the door said loudly, Bazahu snorted coldly, but did not speak. Huge to the abundance of garbage.

"How can you expect someone to come and save you? Don't dream, in this Nanchang, no one can save you! Haha......"

The people outside the door laughed loudly as they spoke......
