Cannon fodder and the book-wearing hero's Shura field

After staying on the mountain for a long time, it is easy for people to forget the time in the world. It wasn't until Pei Ning and Mu Yunjin went up the mountain again that Chu Jingchuan remembered that it was almost New Year's Eve tomorrow.

Mu Yunjin and Pei Ning came up with a big burden on their backs.

Pei Ning walked in front, while Mu Yunjin entered the yard with great difficulty, still yelling: "I'm exhausted? I'm dead."

Chu Jingchuan looked at him for a while, really? Couldn't hold back, and asked, "Did you move Qingfeng Mountain here?"

The little fool laughed, and offered lanterns, paper-cuts, red candles, and some edible nuts, New Year's goods, etc. from the baggage.

"Senior brother," I heard him rambling, "It's New Year's Eve, and my senior brother and I think your place is too deserted, so let's add some New Year's flavor."

"Next year? Can? This is not allowed."

Chu Jingchuan froze for a moment.

next year?.

He looked at Lu Xiuyuan at the side, his eyes suddenly sad.

Next year? Is there New Year's Eve?

Mu Yunjin sensed something was wrong, "Brother? What happened to you?"

He knew that Chu Jingchuan didn't like excitement in the first place, and in previous years, all of this was caused by Mu Yunjin and other juniors.

"It's okay. Daze Mountain doesn't have this custom." Chu Jingchuan said with downcast eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan stood aside, watching Pei Ning stick paper-cuts on the window, he pretended to ask casually, "Is Yao Xun still there? Qingfeng Mountain?"

"I'm going back," Pei Ning pasted up a window paper. "I wanted to stay a few more days? After the Chinese New Year? Then leave. But something happened in Mingzhou, so I went back early."

"En." Lu Xiuyuan lowered his head and closed his eyes, and didn't say anything else.

"What? Suddenly asked about Yao Xun?" Chu Jingchuan didn't know what? When was he standing by his side.

When Lu Xiuyuan turned his head, he had already returned to normal. He smiled and said, "I heard that thousands of lanterns will be lit on New Year's Eve in Mingzhou City before, but I have never seen it before. I want to hear Yao Xun explain it to me. "

"Lantern?" Chu Jingchuan moved his fingers.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and nodded: "But since people are gone, so be it." After finishing speaking, he picked up the red lantern on the table and hung it on the door frame, bent his eyes and smiled and said, "Senior brother, hang the lantern here OK?"

However, Chu Jingchuan didn't seem to hear him, his eyes were fixed on a certain point in the yard, his eyes were dark and cold.

"Brother?"

Lu Xiuyuan frowned at him, and looked into the yard, but saw nothing.

Only then did Chu Jingchuan come back to his senses. He withdrew his gaze, looked at the red lantern in Lu Xiuyuan's eyes and nodded, "Yeah."

Lu Xiuyuan hung up the lantern, walked over, looked at his side face and said, "You were here just now? What were you looking at?"

Chu Jingchuan looked at the gloomy sky and said coldly, "It's going to snow again."

The snow fell in the evening.

After watching the juniors leave, Chu Jingchuan stood on the mountain path holding a green umbrella and asked, "Want to see the lanterns?"

"Huh?" Lu Xiuyuan was wearing a white cloak, "Looking at the lantern?"

Chu Jingchuan nodded.

Lu Xiuyuan coughed a few times and said, "Okay, when?"

Chu Jingchuan looked at his bloodless cheeks due to coughing, tightened his fingers, then moved his eyes and said, "Now?"

Lu Xiuyuan: "Where are you going?"

Chu Jingchuan said, "Mingzhou."

Lu Xiuyuan's eyes flickered a few times quickly, and he clenched his hand into a fist against his lips, coughed a few times, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay."

……

Chu Jingchuan's body? and spiritual power have returned to their peak, and there is no need to travel long distances.

It's just that the two stood on the street and stared at each other silently for a long time.

The long road is empty, a gust of wind blows and rolls up the paper scraps on the ground, it is very desolate.

Not to mention the lights on the street, there is not even a single person, and the door of the inn next to it is closed, obviously not planning to open the door to welcome guests.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the empty street and asked, "Brother, are we here to drink the northwest wind?"

Chu Jingchuan was embarrassed for a very rare time. He froze for a while with a sullen face, and was about to go back with a flick of his long sleeves, but Lu Xiuyuan pulled the sleeves quickly with his eyes and hands.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Xiuyuan looked at his face that was about to drip water, tilted his head and smiled and said, "I've come here, wouldn't it be a shame to go back like this."

Chu Jingchuan looked at him, pursed his lips and glanced around, "Do you want to sleep on the street?"

"No way," Lu Xiuyuan said.

Chu Jingchuan: "Then where do you live?"

Lu Xiuyuan rolled his eyes: "Yao is looking for a home."

Yao Xun pushed the door with one hand, looked at Lu Xiuyuan coldly, "It's Chinese New Year, why are you here?"

"Spend the night." Lu Xiuyuan gathered up his cloak, "I don't know? Brother Yao, do you like it or not?"

Chu Jingchuan looked away and quietly took a step back.

Yao Xun was very indifferent: "You are not welcome." After saying this, he let go of his hands and turned to enter the yard.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled, and was about to pull Chu Jingchuan into the room, but saw the person was far away from him.

Lu Xiuyuan: "..."

"Brother, why are you so far away from me?"

Chu Jingchuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he glanced at the eaves of the door and said, "The wind just picked up, and there is snow falling there."

Lu Xiuyuan looked over and saw that there was not even a hair on the eaves.

I can't even tell a lie.

Yaoxun's yard has no corpses left. It is very clean, even if it is clean, it can be regarded as empty.

"Are you here for the case in Mingzhou?" Yao Xun brought him into the room, looked at the two of them suspiciously, and then bent over himself after speaking, "No, this case is obviously man-made, so it shouldn't cause any alarm. you."

Chu Jingchuan looked at his expression, frowned and said, "Has another murder happened?"

"That's not true," Yao Xun said, "but it's more serious. The current prince was assassinated in Mingzhou a few days ago, and his life was hanging by a thread. The emperor was furious and ordered the city to be closed."

He looked up, looked at the two of them and said, "So, you are..."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't notice anything. He poured himself a cup of tea, but didn't drink it. He held it in his hand, and he smiled and said, "I'm watching the lantern."

Yao Xun said: "That's a coincidence, this year? I don't think there will be any lanterns."

"That's it," Chu Jingchuan looked at Lu Xiuyuan's hand tightly holding the teacup and said, "Then we won't bother you anymore."

Although there was no expression on his face, Chu Jingchuan could still tell that something was wrong, as if he was very cold.

Isn't Yao Xun such a warm personality? Although he didn't say anything, he was actually a little happy to see the two of them. He turned his eyes a little awkwardly and said, "There are no more corpses in the guest room?"

This is what it means to keep people in disguise.

When Lu Xiuyuan heard this, he laughed, looked at Yao Xun's face, then looked at Chu Jingchuan and said, "Senior Brother, since Brother Yao said this, shall we leave tomorrow?"

Chu Jingchuan frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

But in the end, it still didn't work out.

The weather in Mingzhou is much warmer than Daze Mountain, which is why Chu Jingchuan did not insist on going back today. Outside the window, most of the snow in the yard has melted, leaving only the shade under the trees. With a few piles of residual snow.

A waning moon hung on the treetops, and the yard was extraordinarily white.

It was at this time that Chu Jingchuan woke up. However, he and Lu Xiuyuan were lying together. When he woke up, the couch was already cold.

Just when he was anxious to stay on the bed, he turned his head and suddenly saw people in the yard.

Not only Lu Xiuyuan, but also Yao Xun.

Yao Xun frowned tightly, as if he said something? The words were too far away, and he couldn't hear them clearly.After Lu Xiuyuan listened, his long eyelashes drooped, as if he was thinking about something.

Chu Jingchuan stopped his movements and looked away.

On the second day, he originally wanted to leave early in the morning, but was dragged into the night by Lu Xiuyuan.

"Why so late?" Chu Jingchuan asked him.

Lu Xiuyuan pulled the man in his hand and came to the bleak street, he half-truthfully answered: "Because? Because of a guilty conscience."

Chu Jingchuan looked at him puzzled, but Lu Xiuyuan didn't explain to him. Instead, he stretched out a finger to his lips, made a silent movement, and whispered: "Shh, don't talk."

He turned his head seriously, looked into Chu Jingchuan's eyes, and said very seriously, "Five, four...two, one"

The moment the voice fell, the lanterns on the long street were lit up, and the originally dark long street was suddenly as bright as day. Lu Xiuyuan was dressed in red, and his black eyes were covered with a gentle light.

I saw him bending his eyes and smiling, "Brother, Happy New Year's Eve."

Chu Jingchuan stared at him blankly: "Happy New Year's Eve."

Lu Xiuyuan lowered his head, tapped the corner of his lips, looked sideways at the sky and said, "Brother, look up."

I saw countless Kongming lanterns rising from the ground.

Looking at those lights, Chu Jingchuan felt sad at the bottom of his heart. The sky full of lights will be his only sweet dream in the days to come.
