Misfortune and blessing

Luo Tianxing's dark room was originally a small compartment for storing things. Although Wei Xi forced him to tidy it up before, no matter how he tidied it up, he couldn't expand the narrow space so that two people could nest comfortably in it at the same time. The air in the room was not circulated, so it was impossible to light candles for a long time, and they lived a life of night and day in a daze for a few days. The two of them were really miserable.

But even so, Luo Tianxing, who was bending over his body, could still find something to talk to, and could tell a joke that made Wei Xi happy.

Especially when he talked about his state of mind when he first met Wei Xi, even Wei Xi was moved when he heard it.

"...When you walked out of the corridor, I froze. I guess I must have seen you, although I can't remember."

Wei Xi knew that he was good-looking, but before meeting Xiaotian, he never had much expression on his face, and his eyes were always filled with a lifeless look, no one would want to care about himself, look more own two eyes.

But Luo Tianxing was different, the way he looked at him seemed to be looking into his eyes, into his heart, and penetrated into his flesh and blood, so deep that his soul had to be haunted by him, dreaming of him.

"But look, I do remember, it was you, it was you."

Luo Tianxing is indeed Luo Tianxing, so obviously no one will remember the childhood days, what can ordinary people remember?But when Wei Xi listened to his statement, he was a little ashamed why he didn't recognize him at the first time, he said sullenly. "Next time, I will definitely recognize you earlier than you."

Luo Tianxing laughed when he heard this. "Didn't we already know each other? How could there be a next time?"

Wei Xi pursed her lips, feeling that she had said something stupid. "That's right." Besides, what is there to compare this kind of thing to?

For a while, neither of them spoke.

In this dark atmosphere, nothing can be seen clearly, not even the outline of a person.If it weren't for the eternal knot between the two who bound each other tightly, Wei Xi would definitely panic.Subconsciously approaching Luo Tianxing, Luo Tianxing leaned over generously as if he understood his mood, his head that was leaning on the cabinet leaned on Wei Xi's shoulder.

"Xiaoxi." Luo Tianxing called his name, his breath gently grazing Wei Xi's face. "Let's go tonight." Wei Xi froze when he heard what he said, Luo Tianxing said again. "After we leave here, let's go to a locksmith first, maybe a blacksmith is fine too. No matter what we are going to do next, we have to unlock the lock first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move. In case something happens, It's not good."

Although a little reluctant, Wei Xi hummed.

"Go to sleep first."

Wei Xi picked up the cloak that was prepared at the side, and covered himself and Luo Tianxing. He didn't know whether it was because his movements were too big, or because Luo Tianxing really fell asleep. Every move made him roll off Wei Xi's shoulders. into his arms.Wei Xi originally wanted to help him, but the next moment, he simply hugged Luo Tianxing and let him fall asleep comfortably.

The right hand that was locked with him seemed to be in the way, perhaps, it really should be untied.

***

The moon is bright and the stars are dark.

The two of them who had slept soundly came out from the side door of Qifeng Village quietly.

Zhang Yi has been in the army for decades, and he is an extremely careful person. Although he searched Qifeng Village several times five days ago, he still sent people to guard him for the past few days, and he refused to relax at all.

But no matter how you guard, people's habits can't be changed, especially at night, when ordinary people's vigilance is weakest, especially after several days of guarding, they have never seen a cat or a dog, and none of the state soldiers. After a lot of effort, being able to pretend to stand guard is already the maximum limit.

Wei Xi and Luo Tianxing easily left Qifengzhai and headed towards the capital with their burdens on their backs.

The two had discussed why they went to the capital.

Luo Tianxing is well-known in Jiangzhou, and Wei Xi is the son of the prime minister, who also lived in the state capital before, and if the two continue to stay here, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be recognized.

As for going to the capital, it was Luo Tianxing's selfishness towards Wei Xi.He knew that Wei Xi had been refusing to leave because he was worried about his own safety, but being with him all the time was not of much benefit to him.

If I hadn't been ordered to commit a crime, maybe I could still take care of him, but now I am not only unable to protect myself, maybe I will drag him into the water.But it is clear that he will not be willing to ask him to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is better to follow his wishes and pretend to go to the capital to see the world, and secretly send him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After making up their minds, the two started their stop-and-go life.

When I was hungry, I picked wild fruits, and sometimes I bought some game. I found a cave under a tree, and the two of them leaned together and fell asleep.One is tall and the other is short, even if they are holding hands, most of the people only feel that they are brothers, and no one is surprised.

When approaching Huainan, Wei Xi was startled when he heard passers-by mentioning that the crown prince had been deposed for some reason and Queen Fang had left Beijing with her son.

"What's wrong?"

Wei Xi said nothing, and walked for a while before speaking. "I used to be the Prince's companion to study, and I felt a little bit when I heard about it." Thinking that it was only a few months ago that Xiao Yujin and Xiao Yujin came to Jiangzhou for disaster relief, why did such a huge change happen?

Luo Tianxing looked at him. "You must have had a great friendship with them."

Wei Xi shook his head. "I've never had a good conversation with them, and I don't want to communicate with them." In fact, he always cares about himself and doesn't want to talk to anyone. He always thinks that everyone in the world is sorry for him. I don't want to make friends with anyone. "But once my mother was ill, the crown prince actually came to the prime minister's mansion to give medicine, and also brought a detailed copy of the daily lesson." He pulled Luo Tianxing's hand harder.

Luo Tianxing knew that he was extremely lost at the moment. "When we go to Beijing, let's go see the eldest prince." For some reason, Luo Tianxing felt that he and Xiao Yujin would definitely get along well.

Wei Xi nodded.

Two months later, the two finally found an iron shop on the road.

Hearing the sound of hammering iron from a distance, looking at the fire in the furnace, Luo Tianxing's eyes lit up, he and Wei Xi exchanged a glance, just this one glance, Wei Xi already understood what he was thinking.

Luo Tianxing shook Wei Xi's hand, and the two walked together to the man who was forging iron.

"boss."

Old man Li was doing hard work with irons. Although he didn't have a good heart, when someone called him, even if they were two poor children who seemed boneless and fleshless, he still grudgingly grunted.

"what?"

From the moment Luo Tianxing saw Mr. Li, he already had a score in his heart, and he always criticized him according to the performance. "Please do me a favor and help me and my brother."

Old man Li didn't even answer, and continued to hit him hard. Luo Tianxing was never someone who was easily dismissed, so of course he chased him.

"My brother and I were arrested by human traffickers a few days ago, and we escaped with great difficulty. Can you ask the boss to help us to solve this?" After speaking, he took Wei Xi's hand and stretched out to Mr. Li. Son.

Old man Li is definitely not a kind person, but he was working, and his eyes were idle, so he glanced at it casually. Those two dirty and smelly children really had locks on their hands, and they were still fine. Lock. "I helped you, what good does it do me?"

Luo Tianxing's clear eyes had already looked inside and out of the blacksmith shop several times. "My brother and I are children who can do things. If the boss is willing to help us unlock this lock, we are willing to stay and help."

Old Li snorted coldly. "If you want to stay, I don't necessarily have the money to give it to you!"

"No, no, we don't take money."

Old Li shook his hand. "Even if I don't take money, I still want to let you guys eat, right? How can I raise two door gods in this small shop? Just walk around, don't ruin my business."

Hearing this, Luo Tianxing shook his head violently, his eyes turned red, and he was about to cry. Seeing that he was so anxious, Wei Xi also turned red.

Someone who was waiting to get something saw him and interrupted. "Lao Li, this is nothing more than a trivial matter to you, why bother the child?"

Old Li glared at the two dirty children and spat. "Master Shan, do you think I'm a shantang who specializes in business without money?"

"So what if it's not Shantang?" Shan Xin waved his hand. "I think your place is quite dirty. At worst, let the children clean it up for you? Help them!"

Unable to resist the client's repeated persuasion, Mr. Li pricked his mouth and finally spoke. "Okay, hold out your hand."

Wei Xi and Luo Tianxing stretched out their hands obediently, and Old Li didn't say much. He picked up the poker and swung it fiercely, and the extremely strong chain tied between them was broken.

The two looked at each other, feeling the heat on the back of their hands, which still had the temperature of the tongs passing by.Thinking that if Mr. Li was not paying attention, the hands of the two of them would be useless, so they couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

But Mr. Li didn't let them have a chance to rest, and threw two buckets, rags and other things in front of them. "Okay, scan quickly."

Luo Tianxing and Wei Xi regained their freedom, sweeping quickly and well.

Seeing the two children happily busy, Shan Xin, who was waiting for something, said again. "Lao Li, these past few years have been difficult. I think back when we ran wild in Jiangbei, life was as happy as it was."

It turned out that Old Man Li, who blacksmithed iron, was once a well-known figure in the martial arts world. I think it was not the luck of Luo Zhenyu and Wei Xi, but his extraordinary martial arts.

Hearing this, Old Man Li lowered his voice. "Enough, Shan Xin, the past is in the past, there is nothing to say, I am just a blacksmith now, and you are just a farmer."

"But..." Shan Xin paused, and said again unwillingly. "Do you know how powerful Luo Wu is now? He was our defeat back then."

"Why do you have to compare yourself with such a heartless person?" Old Li snorted. "I don't even want to mention that kind of scum who sells the owner for glory."

"Lao Li, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Mr. Guan was wronged? He didn't..."

Old Li looked around, made sure no one heard the conversation between the two, and then said. "Everyone is dead, what do you want to mention? Just remember, don't get in touch with him again, or you will be killed by him one day."

Shan Xin felt a chill down his spine when he heard that, and then, he didn't even dare to fart, and sat on the side without thinking, until he got his things back, and then walked away weakly.
