Kaifeng Bistro

The guests left one after another, and Bai Yutang stood up unsteadily. "Bai, Brother Bai seems to be a little drunk." Shangshang whispered, "Brother Zhifeng, what should I do?"

"Didn't you see Guard Zhan here? You're a child, why worry about nothing, hurry up and take your Ling'er to sleep in that room." Zhuo Zhuo picked up Ling'er with one hand, and pushed Shangshang into the next room with the other.

"I'll do it." Xu Gan took Ling'er and carried him into the side room.Tan Zhifeng and Zhan Zhao carefully went to help Bai Yutang, but he gently pushed him away.His snow-white handsome cheeks were flushed, and his beautiful eyes looked at Zhan Zhao and Tan Zhifeng with a smile, and then raised his hand to pat Tan Zhifeng's face: "Come on, let's go back to the yard and accompany you again." My brother is drinking."

"Okay, okay." Tan Zhifeng responded: "It's late, let's go to your room to drink, drink as long as you want, let's go."

Bai Yutang nodded happily, took out his wine jug and shook it in his hand, pushed the door open and walked into Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan's room.Tan Zhifeng and Zhan Zhao followed in hastily, but his steps were steady, and he even looked sober. He walked straight through Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan's room, opened the door, and walked towards his own hut .

"Zhifeng, you don't need to..." Zhan Zhaogang said halfway, then suddenly raised his hand and pressed his temple: "No, I seem to be a little drunk too. Strange, I obviously don't drink much..."

"I'd better go back first." He stopped, and said to Tan Zhifeng: "Please take care of Yutang. But don't worry, he actually holds a lot of alcohol. I think it's because he was happy that he drank two more glasses. Give him a drink." A little decoction from the store to sober him up, and he will recover immediately. But if he falls asleep, let him sleep."

Tan Zhifeng quickly agreed.He looked at Zhan Zhao carefully again: "Brother Zhan, how about you? Are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter to me." Zhan Zhao said, "I drank a few glasses elsewhere at noon, maybe I came here before I woke up, and the wine they brought has some stamina..." He took a breath: "I... I went to see him and said goodbye."

Tan Zhifeng was a little uneasy, and just wanted to follow the past to have a look, but Xu Gan called him from behind: "Zhifeng."

He turned around and saw Xu Gan waving to him: "Come on, let's sit in the courtyard."

Xu Gan drank a lot of wine tonight, and chatted with Zhou Yanjing for a while. Everyone was fighting wine and composing poems. Tan Zhifeng's mind is still echoing their laughter and the sound of boxing and drinking orders. What Xu Gan said He barely heard it.He vaguely heard the two talking about the smell of roasted sheep, and then their words were drowned out by the laughter of others.

Xu Gan seemed to see the bewilderment and hesitation in Tan Zhifeng's eyes.He stepped forward to hold Tan Zhifeng's hand and smiled faintly at him: "Let's go. I will tell you whatever you want to ask today."

Tan Zhifeng didn't hesitate any longer, he put on a robe, and walked outside the house with Xu Gan.As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw Zhan Zhao carefully retreating from the opposite side, and gently closed the door.As soon as Zhan Zhao turned around and saw Xu Yan hugging Tan Zhifeng and sitting on the porch, he smiled at the two of them, and then made a gesture to tell them that he was leaving.Tan Zhifeng whispered to Xu Gan, "Let's send one to Brother Zhan."

Xu Gan nodded, and the two followed Zhan Zhao to the gate of the courtyard. Tan Zhifeng said to him, "Brother Zhan, don't worry, I will take care of Brother Bai."

A gentle smile appeared on Zhan Zhao's handsome face again: "I know. That's not what I'm worried about."

After all, he looked at Xu Gan, and the two eyes met. Tan Zhifeng suddenly remembered the night when Sang Sijun was killed and Zhan Zhao took Xu Gan away. The two of them were also like this, exchanging complicated things. Very understanding eyes.

Tan Zhifeng asked tentatively: "Do you have anything to say? I can avoid it."

Zhan Zhao patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "You've been busy all night, how can I bother you?" Then he turned to Xu Gan, his face became a little serious: "Mr. Xu, Yutang... ...".

He hesitated for a moment, then Xu Gan said slowly, "Don't worry, I won't make enemies easily."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He straightened his robes, bowed his hands to Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan, turned and left.

"Thank you." Xu Gan said in a deep voice behind him.Zhan Zhao paused, but didn't look back, he still walked towards the outside of the wheat straw alley on the bluestone slab glowing with pale moonlight.

Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan bolted the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as they turned around, they saw Bai Yutang leaning against the door of their own house, holding the wine jug just now, his eyes passed Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan without blinking, tightly Staring at the courtyard door that had just closed.

Tan Zhifeng walked over quickly and asked, "Brother Bai, do you want to drink something sober?"

Bai Yutang's face was very calm, but his calm made Tan Zhifeng very uneasy.He didn't say anything, just handed the jug to Tan Zhifeng's hand, and then jumped onto the roof lightly. Just as Tan Zhifeng wanted to call him, his figure had already disappeared.

"Let him go." Xu Gan said, "Come here and sit with me for a while."

The two sat down in front of the steps again, Xu Gan looked at Tan Zhifeng with a slight smile, and said to him, "What are you worried about?"

This time Tan Zhifeng didn't think too long, but almost blurted out and asked, "Will you go?"

Xu Gan smiled, and he turned sideways to face Tan Zhifeng, who also looked at him seriously.Tan Zhifeng raised his hand, and pressed gently on the left side of Xu Gan's chest: "I want to know, Xu Gan, are you back?"

The smile on Xu Yan's face gradually faded, he pressed Tan Zhifeng's hand on his chest, and said to him: "I never explained anything to you, because I think, one day, you will understand."

Xu Gan exerted a little force on his hand, and Tan Zhifeng leaned against him.Xu Gan's voice became deeper, but it sounded very clearly in Tan Zhifeng's ears: "However, what's the problem with talking like this? A lifetime can be very short, and a moment can be very long. I used to think that I had endless years, but now for the first time, I finally feel that even the long years may come to an end one day."

Tan Zhifeng looked up at Xu Gan's stern face.Xu Gan's long and thick eyelashes drooped down, covering his deep eyes. His nose bridge was straight and his face was sharp and angular.His mouth opened and closed slowly, his chest rose and fell steadily, other than that, Tan Zhifeng almost felt that he had turned into a handsome and solemn statue.

"Reincarnation time after time, my strength has been continuously consumed. Zhifeng, do you want to know how you find me every time? When I was about to die, the dragon scale that melted into your soul There will be a voice in your heart that will call you to come to where I am... wherever it is."

As Xu Gan spoke in such a flat tone, Tan Zhifeng's heart thumped, and he even felt that his heartbeat surpassed Xu Gan's voice, but when Xu Gan spoke again, his voice was still low and clear.

"Maybe this is the last time." The two were already close enough, Tan Zhifeng and Xu Gan's chests were pressed against each other, just like that day under the scarlet wall of Tianqing Temple.Xu Gan turned around, let go of Tan Zhifeng's hand, hugged him and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"Will you go?" Tan Zhifeng blushed hot, but he still asked persistently: "I know, you...maybe...you are not Xu Gan, but he is still there, somewhere, I am not afraid What, I just don't want to..."

Xu Gan backed away a little bit, and the fresh, slightly cool spring night air suddenly flooded in between the two of them.Tan Zhifeng watched Xu Yan's face become more serious: "I can't tell you what I remember." He said, "Kaifeng today is full of chaos and danger. The people who come and go around us, Zhifeng, they Many of them have different identities. Zhifeng, if I tell you, maybe you won’t be able to face them calmly.”

"Will I leave?" He looked up and sighed softly, "Maybe. But..."

Tan Zhifeng clutched his belt nervously, he even forgot what happened just now, he stared at Xu Gan without blinking, but Xu Gan leaned down and kissed his forehead again. "I'll take you with me," he said softly, "I'll never, ever leave you."

The other questions that Tan Zhifeng wanted to ask slipped out of his mind, and he didn't know what Xu Gan's promise meant.Although he can no longer feel Xu Gan's heartbeat, there seems to be an exceptionally warm and powerful spiritual power circulating and flowing in his heart. This time, this power is gentle, without any sense of oppression or pressure. Make him nervous. "A lifetime can be very short, and a moment can be very long." In just such an instant, he suddenly understood the meaning of Xu Gan's words.

With a sound of "Teng" on the eaves, Bai Yutang fell down.He didn't know where he went just now, but now he seemed to be completely awake from the wine, he glanced at Tan Zhifeng with a half-smile, Tan Zhifeng blushed, and stammered and asked him: "Bai, Brother Bai, it's so late Now, you, what are you doing?"

"I'll find a quiet place to think about things, so that you can make out here." Bai Yutang turned and walked into his room, leaving Tan Zhifeng with a slender and straight back.Tan Zhifeng looked at the door for a while, then turned his head and whispered to Xu Gan, "Brother Zhan is worried..."

"Brother Zhan always worries a lot." Xu Gan twitched the corners of his lips, stood up slowly, and then stretched out his hand in front of Tan Zhifeng: "But I've already told you, there is nothing you need to worry about."

"I just want to help you guys." Tan Zhifeng lowered his voice: "I want to help Brother Zhan and Brother Bai..."

Both doors were closed, Moon Shadow moved, and the small courtyard regained its calm.Another two hours later, the sky was dimly lit, another door opened in the Pig Killing Alley opposite, and a sleepy woman cursed without murmurs while pulling her hair, and put a wooden barrel in her hand heavily. on the ground behind him.She was just about to step out of the threshold, but she was caught by something. After she took a closer look, she suddenly let out a sharp cry full of fear. The cry was like countless sharp knives, piercing the air and throwing them in all directions. out.
