Lights on the other side

The words were written on the paper and crossed out, Li Ruoci felt a slight pain in his head.Once the emotions come up, I can't hold the pen in my hand.

At this time, my own indecision is so hypocritical that it is ridiculous.

He gave a wry smile, rubbed his wrists, then thought about it, and finally chose a path and wrote it on the paper in front of him.

The rest is all up to good luck, life and death are not in his control.

After doing everything, he suddenly felt a little bored.

This feeling was a little powerless, born out of thin air, and invaded his whole body in an instant.

His head hurt even more, he thought, let's go to bed early.

Outside the window, the night is coming.

A few days later, Li Ruoci was checking information in the study, and heard voices coming from outside, it was Xue Danggui who had returned.

The sun fell just in time, he brushed the dust off the book, and greeted the people outside.

Xue Danggui nodded slightly.

"When looking for Pei?"

"En." Xue Danggui nodded.

"He's in the next yard." Li Ruoci pointed.

"En." Another one-word response, Xue Danggui seemed a little worried.

Seeing the back of him leaving in a hurry, although Li Ruoci was puzzled, she didn't care too much.After all, at this time, no one is worried about being fake.

Although the troops of the imperial court and the three days have won successive victories, the siege of Weizhou has not yet been lifted, and an army of King Duan is heading north again.

He stood on the stool, pulled out a book with a dark blue cover, and flipped through a few pages.He stayed in the study all afternoon, as if only here could he straighten out his mood.Time passed by bit by bit, as if he didn't notice it, when he looked up again, it started to snow unexpectedly.

The snow is not heavy, just enough to spread a shallow layer on the ground, and it will melt when you step on it.

It's not too big to think about. After all, this is a southerly place, and the wind in November will not be too harsh.

Li Ruoci opened the door and walked out, wanting Sha Bai, who was playing outside, to come in. The room is still warmer than the outside.

But Sha Bai stood there, holding a small dark red leather ball in his hand, his eyes full of surprise.

"so big."

"Huh?" Li Ruoci wondered if he was hallucinating.

Sha Bai exhaled a white mist, raised his head and smiled sweetly at Li Ruoci: "Brother, this snow is so heavy."

Li Ruoci blinked, regained his composure, and said, "Is it...?"

"Well, it's like sugar." Sha Bai nodded.

She looked up at the sky and continued: "However, according to the book, the snow in the north is much heavier, and the snow is all in pieces."

"Brother, have you seen it?"

Li Ruoci shook his head and said truthfully, "I have never been to the north."

With anticipation in his eyes, Sha Bai murmured: "I really want to go and see..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly interjected: "Yes, I will take Xiao Shabai there when I have time."

Li Ruoci turned his head and saw Pei Shi walking in through the door on one side.

He came over and gently patted the fine snow off Li Ruoci's shoulders.

Sha Bai nodded, raised his face, and asked, "Then do you want to take Brother Lin with you? Brother Lin has never been there before."

"It depends on Brother Lin himself."

Pei Shi touched Sha Bai's head, stood up and looked at Li Ruoci with a smile: "Brother Lin, do you want to go?"

"..." Li Ruoci crossed his arms in front of his chest, and turned his head silently.

"Huh?" Pei Shi didn't intend to let him go.

"Where are you going?" Li Ruoci could only ask.

"Xiuyuan Town."

"Where is that?" Li Ruoci didn't remember such a place.

"Where I grew up, in the far north, it starts to snow every winter, and the snow can cover the entire mountain."

"Belongs to Jingzhou?"

"Yes, I haven't been back for so many years. When this is over, do you want to go back with me?"

Pei Shi's eyes were serious, and Li Ruoci couldn't dodge it in time, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say that good word.

After all, no one knows what tomorrow will look like, and this kind of ordinary promise is also full of uncertainty.

He suddenly felt that the world was a little unreasonably cruel.However, he doesn't seem qualified to say these things.

"Okay, okay, I want to go with Brother Pei and Brother Lin." Sha Bai immediately replied happily, and the ball in her hand rolled out without paying attention, and she hurried to pick it up.

Pei Shi looked at the little figure in front of him with a smile, and said, "That's great, my heart has been untied."

After that, he strode up to Sha Bai, picked up the ball, and put it in her arms.

The snow was still falling, and it kept falling until it was dark and dark, black and white.

Because of Xue Dang's return, Pei Shi gave him the room.

Li Ruoci leaned against the door frame, blocking the door, and said, "You used to sleep together, why are you squeezing me now?"

Pei Shi hugged the pillow, and said, "You know, Danggui must be very tired after traveling thousands of miles to come here, so it's inconvenient to disturb him, so it's best to let him sleep in a room by himself."

"..." Looking at each other, Li Ruoci felt that what Pei Shi said was a matter of course.

"And it's not the first time we have."

"..." Li Ruoci felt that something was wrong.

But before he could figure it out, Pei Shi had already crept in by himself.

"Hey..." Li Ruoci sighed helplessly, and when she turned around, she saw Pei Shi humming a little tune, and started to get up.

After taking off only his middle clothes, Li Ruoci turned off the light and lay down under the quilt.

The bed was a single bed, and Li Ruoci slept alone, so he could change his position comfortably, but now it is difficult for him to turn over.

He looked at the top of the bed, and finally understood what it means to be unlucky.

"By the way, what's the matter with Danggui coming here this time?"

Pei Shi was quiet for a moment, then said, "No."

"is it?"

"Ha, he just misses me, come and see me."

Li Ruoci didn't ask any more questions because he knew that there was nothing to be asked from Pei Shi's mouth.

In the darkness, the two breathed quietly.

"You said... what would you do if someone betrayed you?"

Pei Shi's question made Li Ruoci's heart tense, but he remained calm and said, "Why do you ask that?"

"suddenly think of."

Li Ruoci thought about it for a while, and said, "You don't need to pay too much attention to insignificant people, but if necessary, just kill them directly. If you endanger yourself, don't show mercy."

Obvious principles of life.

"En." Pei Shi responded softly.

After that, it fell into silence again.

"Pei Shi." After a while, Li Ruoci called softly this time, the voice was very clear in the night without cicadas and katydids.

"Ok?"

"Can you stop moving, I'm going to fall."

The author has something to say:

it's late today
