Chasing brother for thousands of miles

-----

Wen Nianyuan hugged the sleeping man in his arms, walked lightly and steadily.

He suddenly remembered many years ago, when he was still young.

I still can't understand that when that person is clearly my elder brother but is not allowed to live with my parents and family members, and my elder brother's father does not allow him to call him elder brother, once, he sneaked to find him Play.

Then he mischievously went to catch the cicada on the tree, accidentally fell and cried in pain, the little Qixian was holding him like this at that time, and rushed to find his father step by step, so anxious that he fell down Falling, but still protecting him in her arms.

Wen Nianyuan remembers very clearly that day, when Qixian hugged him to find his father, his father became very angry, pointed at his brother's nose and scolded him, saying that he was an ominous person and should not be alive, if he had any self-knowledge, he should find a tree The old tree was hanged.

The strange thing is that these pictures are a little blurry. When Wen Nianyuan thinks back now, what he remembers most clearly is always his brother's warm hands when he was holding him, stumbling along the way, as if there is no end to it.

Just like now, though, it's him holding him instead.

On the second floor, walk through the long corridor all the way, walk through all the closed doors without squinting, until you reach the room at the end.

Wen Nianyuan pushed lightly with his toes, and the seemingly heavy door opened with a "squeak", and the windows inside the house were clean and spotless. Obviously, someone often came in to clean and keep the room tidy.

The faint fragrance is pervasive, sweet and calming, and the smell makes people feel peaceful and serene.

Carefully put the person on the bed, Qixian seemed unconscious, eyes still closed, breathing steadily and long, probably not dreaming, sleeping very deeply.

Wen Nianyuan stood at the head of the bed, stretched out his hand and lifted up the mask little by little, revealing the slightly pale face under the mask, overlapping with the little brother in his memory for an instant.

Breathing for a moment, he looked down at him quietly, as if he had turned into a piece of wood, motionless.

It took a long time before Wen Nianyuan bent down expressionlessly, gently smoothed out the man's suppressed hair little by little, then covered him with a thin quilt, and put the mask beside the pillow.

Although it is summer, the night is still slightly cool.

Hearing the door being closed as carefully as possible, the sound of Wen Nianyuan's footsteps getting farther and farther away, the person who seemed to be sleeping on the bed opened his eyes and looked at the curtain above his head.

Still can't sleep.He turned over, his eyes fell on the mask next to the pillow, his ferocious facial features seemed to come alive suddenly, he seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time.

Reaching out to pick up the cold mask, Qixian put it back on her face silently, the familiar coolness infiltrated her heart little by little, her heart was empty, but she no longer tossed and turned.

In the hotel lobby.

The two men didn't come down after they went up, and Liang Jun said, "Where do you like to lie down?" After all, he couldn't just fall on the ground, so he went upstairs quietly and found an empty room where no one lived, and fell asleep hastily. .

The heartbeat was still fast, everything happened too fast and too weird, he just had doubts about those three people at first, and followed behind, but he heard two words about Rui Ji's death, which made him follow all the way involuntarily .

After all this, he is now lying in such a ghostly inn, and he still has some doubts about what happened to him.

"You don't talk about strange power and confusion, respect and keep a distance." He recited silently a few times in a low voice, thinking of Rui Ji again, recalling those days of singing poems and playing chess by the window, he felt sad again, and fell asleep at some point.

I don't know what I dreamed dimly, and then instantly, I was woken up by a basin of cold water.

Sen Sen's coldness made Liang Jun tremble all over. He opened his eyes, his eyes were pitch-black, as if covered by a layer of cloth, and his hands were tied behind his back, unable to move.

He struggled to move a few times, but couldn't break free, and hurriedly wanted to call for help, only to feel that something was stuffed in his mouth, and he could only make a sound of humming.

Cold sweat dripping down, who caught him, the weird guy in the weird inn?It's a black shop, making human flesh buns?What will happen to him?

Just when Mr. Liang was in a panic and thinking wildly, a voice sounded not far away, only to hear the man sighed, with a bit of disapproving emotion, "He is just passing by, let him be arrested together. what to do."

He remembers!It was the voice of the man in white!

Liang Jun struggled a few more times, but he was kicked hard by someone, he felt heart-piercing pain, his face turned pale in an instant, and finally he was unable to move anymore.

Qi Xian looked at Liang Jun who was tightly tied and thrown aside, and shook his head helplessly.

They are now in a dark hall. He, Wen Nianyuan and the unlucky Mr. Liang were all "invited" here. At this moment, there are several martial arts masters standing in front of and behind them, staring at him without blinking. with two people.

A heavy curtain hangs in front of the two of them, and there are people sitting behind the curtain.

"Your Excellency is the legendary Mr. Qixian, who is undeniable everywhere he goes?" A deep and hoarse voice came from behind the curtain.

Pretending to be gods and ghosts is definitely not a kind thing.

"Probably so."

He calmly looked at the people in the house one by one, among the people who "invited" him and Wen Nianyuan over, many were well-known in the Jianghu, and the people behind the curtain were able to invite so many Jianghu masters, and their status was also low not going anywhere.

It seems that the masked man he let go last night was quite smart, and he must have delivered the message well.

"Probably?" The person behind the curtain repeated these two words, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "You are in the case of Cha Ruiji, who ordered you?"

Qixian smiled when she heard the words, but her voice fell on everyone's hearts, "Death is eternal beauty, I just like beautiful things. It's like everyone here, the most beautiful thing in the eyes is not gold, silver, wealth, or power." same high position."

Hearing Mr. Qi Xian's insinuation and ridicule that they sacrificed their lives for money, the faces of those martial arts masters changed slightly, and one of them snorted coldly, "Everyone loves yellow and white things, so naturally they are not as elegant as Mr. Qi Xian. "

Elegant enough to keep company with corpses.

It's a pity that the listeners were too lazy to retort, leaving the room full of embarrassing silence.

So the person hidden in the dark pretended to cough twice, and spoke again, "It is said that Mr. Qixian is a smart man, please don't toast or eat fine wine, hand over your things, and tell me who asked you to investigate the case, I'll let you go away whole."

Wen Nianyuan glanced at the people around him calmly, he knew that Qixian had nothing at all, and there was absolutely no one behind him to instigate him to check Ruiji's death, but obviously, others would not believe it.

Every time there was a scuffle between various forces, he stepped back and stood on the sidelines watching the fire from the other side, maybe he didn't believe that Mr. Qixian's investigation was just to join in the fun, although the truth is often that simple.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mr. Qixian stretched out his hand and took out a small roll of paper from his arms without haste, and held it in his palm, "Of course the things are there, but there are a few questions that I don't quite understand."

The people on the side began to move around, their eyes fell dangerously on the small roll of paper, but no one snatched it.

Everyone knew in their hearts that it was a hot potato, and whoever took it would be in trouble for their own lives. As long as the piece of paper was stained, no one would be able to tell whether they had seen the contents inside.

"Young Master Qi Xian is extremely smart, is there anything you don't understand?" The male voice behind the curtain became impatient and a little impatient. He also knew what those quacks were thinking, but it was impossible for him to get it by himself—— The point is not to take, but to destroy.

Destroy that thing, and anyone who knows what's in it.

However, Qixian now looks confident, so he has to wonder whether this person has a backup, even if he is killed on the spot, there will still be mistakes, so he has to listen to his imaginative words patiently, and come up with a surefire plan.

There is always an ominous feeling that he came to "invite" people today, maybe a little hasty.

I may be a high-ranking official above the temple, but this status is a deterrent to the officialdom and the common people, but not necessarily to the desperadoes.

Who is behind this person instigating?His old enemy?What about the newly-emerged...?Or, could it be the above meaning?

The more I thought about it, the more uncertain I felt. I thought the storm had passed temporarily, but unexpectedly—he became more and more impatient, but the seven-stringed voice was always so steady and soothing, maintaining an uncomfortable pace, Passed through the curtain to his ears.

"I've been thinking about your motive for killing Rui Ji. If it was because she knew too many of your secrets intentionally or unintentionally, then you could have done it long ago. Why wait until today, unless there is some special reason."

"After Rui Ji's death, you gave money to seal the mouth of the bawdy girl, and built an incense grave for her. It can be seen that you have no feelings for Rui Ji. Then why do you have to kill her?"

He hid behind the curtain and sneered, "Sir Qixian, it's not good for you to know too much, these are just small details."

Qixian turned a deaf ear to it, and continued: "Until you sent someone to look for things in her room, I finally thought that one possibility is that Rui Ji deliberately wrote down your secrets and used them to threaten you, and then you became murderous. "

"Another kind... the most dangerous place is the safest place. In fact, you secretly hid the thing in Rui Ji's room without telling her, but later found that you couldn't find it. Hidden, but couldn't ask, so I killed her."
