Chapter 415: Twilight
() The incident that had been done in the middle of the night was finally put to rest, and when the summer breeze came out, the neighbors yawned and went home to sleep.
Xia Feng didn't believe that no one saw the flame just now, but even if it was like this, no one panicked, just like when he heard the secret of the haunting of Hundred Ghost Street from everyone.
It wasn't until the lights in Captain Roger's house finally went out that Xia Feng realized.
At the beginning, he spent five cents to get the information from Ergou, and it may not be a loss, and these neighbors on Baigui Street really don't have any good stubble.
...........
Xiao Yunye stood quietly on the street, for some reason, Xia Feng felt that the old man's spirit seemed to be in a trance, similar to the old man he had seen farewell to his relatives at the train station before.
There is no way to know what the umbrella in Xiao Yunye's hand is made of, the red knife said before that it might be a sword, but now only a pole is left that has been burned.
Xia Feng walked up to him.
"That.... I'm sorry, but I'll pay you the most expensive umbrella another day. ”
"No need, I Xiao also bought an umbrella."
Xia Feng remembered that when he first met Xiao Yunye in the hotel, he said that he had no surname, only a single name.
But at this moment, he calls himself Xiao, which is obviously a change of identity, or some kind of return.
"That.... Brother Xiao...."
"Xiao's task has been completed, bother these days, say goodbye."
With that, Xiao Yunye turned around and took a step.
Xiao Yunye's hair is gray, not to mention that he is older than Roger's boat, and it is estimated that he is not equal, but through these observations, Xiao Yunye has always had a straight waist and capable manners, and this spirit is not even comparable to a twenty-year-old young man.
But at the moment he turned around, Xia Feng felt that he was ten years old in an instant.
Of course, this does not refer to the face, his appearance has not changed, what has been decadent is temperament, as if the thing that has been supporting in his heart has suddenly disappeared, and his fighting spirit has also disappeared.
In the eyes of Xia Feng at this moment, the legendary No. 1 Sword Saint of the Yan Kingdom, who was once dominant, is now just an old man in the twilight.
The vicissitudes of life have witnessed the martial arts, the unsheathed sword has killed countless enemies, as recognized as the first sword saint, Xiao Yunye must have killed many people, and his hands must have saved many people, but now, everything is a thing of the past.
Desolation is nothing but the twilight of the hero, and the prosperity of a lifetime is difficult to reach the time flies.
...........
Xiao Yunye's pace of departure was very slow, and his figure no longer had the arrogance of a hero, nor did he have the determination of a cut-off.
He paused in two steps, turned back in three steps, and his eyes never lost his sight from the house that Sheena had walked into.
"Brother Xiao."
Hearing Xia Feng's shout, Xiao Yunye stood still.
Xia Feng sighed.
He doesn't know what kind of relationship Xiao Yunye and Hina belong to, friend? Master and servant? Close relatives? Lover? He felt that either one was possible, and at the same time, any one was almost meaningless, and the only thing he could be sure of now was that Xiao Yunye still had concerns in his heart.
"Brother Xiao, where are you going from here?"
Xiao Yunye didn't look back, only the voice came.
"The world is so big, there is a place for me Xiao."
This sentence is said freely, but there is obviously a strong meaning in the voice, the world has its own place, to put it bluntly, there is nowhere to go, only to wander.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with wandering, it can increase a young person's experience, hone his mind, and make friends.
But this is a little sad for an old man with mottled gray hair.
Xia Feng took two steps forward.
"Brother Xiao, if you want, you can continue to stay with me."
"I Xiao don't need charity."
Summer Breeze spread out his hands.
"You misunderstood, this is not charity, I am a stingy person, I never give to others, there are many reasons why I want you to stay with me, and one of the most important points is that I think it can also be the reason for you to stay."
Xiao Yunye turned around.
"What the reason."
"Sheena lives on the other side, even if some relationships are lost, everyone can still be neighbors, that family is a house and never goes out, but at least the people in the house will always be here, right."
Some people say that you can be friends after a breakup, of course, this requires the consent of the other party, not 100%, but if friends can't do it, then there is a last remedy, that is, to be a neighbor, and this does not require the consent of the other party.
Xia Feng's words obviously made Xiao Yunye waver.
"Do..... To be a neighbor, is this appropriate. ”
"What's inappropriate, you live in your house, she lives in hers, there is a big road in between, didn't she say that you are free, since you are free, then it is the same wherever you live."
Xiao Yunye clenched his fists, although he looked like an old man, his expression was like that of an admirer trying to get close to the girl he liked.
After pondering for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence.
"I ..... I'll pay your rent. ”
Xia Feng waved his hand.
"I don't owe you this rent, there is only one way to live in my house, and that is to become an employee of Black Feather, we are in charge of food and housing and pay salaries, how about it, are you willing to be my employee?"
"This ..... I'll have to think about it. ”
"Ahem, the houses on this street are not cheap."
"I ....."
"Tsk, Sheena lives on the other side, and anything can happen in this world."
Xiao Yunye wanted to speak and stopped, his dignity and reason still wanted to struggle, but the emotions in his heart did not allow him to let go of this opportunity.
"Okay, I agree."
Xia Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to him.
"Brother Xiao, welcome to Black Feather."
The little one was abducted by the River Styx, and the old one he couldn't let go.
Xiao Yunye's attitude has explained everything, he and Xina are not simply a master-servant relationship or a relationship of interests, let alone employment and mission, of course, there may be such a thing as a mission, but in the process of completing the mission, the positions of both parties have changed, at least Xiao Yunye's position has changed.
Sister Mira's words Xia Feng basically believed, and there was relevant evidence in ancient books.
Hina is the witch Devil Simina, who has lived for at least 300 years, according to records, and Xiao Yunye is not more than 80 years old even if she is old enough to lose her teeth.
This feeling is rarely understood, aging is a natural law, although everyone will get old, but at the same time as you get old, your relatives and friends around you will grow old with you, you can only sigh the power of time, smile and continue to walk the journey of life.
However, Xiao Yunye followed this law of nature from a high-spirited handsome swordsman to an old man, but Shena's time stood still.
Xia Feng didn't know what had happened between them, it was a secret hidden between the two.
..............
Xiao Yunye's mood was obviously very low, even if the fact that he had joined Hei Yu and Hina as neighbors had cheered him up a little, but about the secret between them, Xia Feng still couldn't ask about it.
This may be a kind of gossip, but Xia Feng is not in a hurry.
Time will dilute something.
Just like a breakup between couples, those things that make you sad will one day be said with a smile.
