Xin Jing was running horses in the pasture, with Xin Li walking behind. Xin Li didn't get on the horse, so he pretended to lie down on the grass nest.
"I'm angry with elder brother!" Xin Li said, "I will go home only after my second elder brother picks me up."
"Who are you scaring?" Xin Jing turned his horse's head and looked down at Xin Li from the horse, "If you don't get up, just lie down and don't move. If you dare to move, I'll whip you once. Since you have the ability to run away from home, don't be a coward. Want Xiao Jing to come pick you up? Let's daydream."
"You are not my own brother!" Xin Li wiped his eyes fiercely, "You just remember the newborn baby!"
"Little boy." Xin Jing jumped off the horse, leaned over and picked him up, and put him directly on his back, "You are also a little boy."
"I'm not," Xin Li hugged him tightly, "I'm the general!"
"Why do you want to be a general?" With his back on his back, Xin Jing led the horse towards the fence, forgetting what he said earlier, "I'll hit you once".
"Like dad, ride a big horse, guard Beiyang, marry my mother!" Xin Li's eyes were still red, and he gestured excitedly, "I want to protect Xinjiang and protect Dalan!"
"It's just you?" Xin Jing bumped him twice, "You want to protect Da Lan even if you don't protect your younger brother."
"Brother," Xin Li said, leaning on his elder brother's generous shoulder, "I have you."
Xin Jing was amused, "What am I?"
"Pillar!" Xin Li looked sideways at him adoringly, "It's very strong."
Before Xin Jing could reply, the setting sun on the grass slope was blocked by the green shirt. The wind from Beiyang traversed for thousands of miles, and the hem of the green shirt was rolled up happily. Xin Li called out "Second Brother" in awe.
Xin Jing's flawless, slender hand held a small fleshy hand, and he stood there, straight like a green pine that Beiyang didn't have.
"Go home." He said, looking at Xin Jing.
"Go, go home!" Xin Yi followed up with a lisp.
"Wow," Xin Li leaned into his elder brother's ear and whispered, "My second brother is so good-looking... I won't marry my mother anymore, I will marry him!"
Xin Jing lifted the kid in his hand and threw it into the grass nest, "Go to hell."
The wind blew suddenly, the setting sun enveloped his elder brother's eyes, Xin Jing's cloak was raised high, Xin Li couldn't hear what his elder brother said in a low voice.
It took him years to remember.
"Don't even think about it, it's mine."
Xin Li woke up suddenly.
The moonlight was bleak, he wiped his face and found it was wet.
Before dawn, he sat up, the bed was hard, and he was still in the army. Suddenly a light came on outside the door, and he grabbed the unnamed gun beside his pillow and asked gloomily, "What's the matter?"
Xu Hu said eagerly, "Da Wan's heavy cavalry is approaching the city, and I'm afraid the young master's return journey will be impossible!"
Xin Li stood up, opened the door with the gun in hand.
The sparks of the soft lights, the wind in the cold night. He couldn't see the wild mountains, he could only see the wolf flag flying on the wall.
"I'm going out."
He descended the stone steps slowly.
"Being home soon."
But home is so far away.
When the snow fell, the wolf flag was broken, and the wind howled eighty thousand miles away. In Beiyang, which was eighty thousand miles away, there was no longer Yanwang Mansion. Xin Yi became really dumb. He chased after Xin Li who was galloping out of the city, unable to yell a word.
Third brother!
Xin Yi screamed in vain, but there was no sound.
Third brother!
Xin Yi roared, Xueluo was silent, he stood there blankly, watching Xin Li being buried by the heavy cavalry.
It hurts so much.
Xin Yi clutched his chest tightly and knelt down on the ground. He seemed to be out of breath, and he hit the ground in pain, with nowhere to vent.
third brother...
Xin Yi choked up and looked up, seeing the blood spreading from under the horse's hooves, and arrows rushing past overwhelmingly.
"ah… "
Xin Yi suddenly turned over, lay on the edge of the bed, and vomited forcefully.
"A Yi," someone kept calling him in his ear, "A Yi."
Xin Yi raised his eyes, and from Bai Jiu's eyes, he found that tears were streaming down his face. He stared blankly, and Bai Jiu rubbed his cheek with his thumb, calling softly over and over again.
"I was... dreaming." Xin Yi trembled, "I'm sorry..."
Bai Jiu hugged him and let him bury him in her chest like a child. The lamp was not lit, and under the warm curtains, Bai Jiu felt his back was wet. Bai Jiu didn't seem to notice, she followed his back calmly, bowed her head and whispered in his ear, "I'm here."
"Yeah." Xin Yi buried his head, and after a while, Bai Jiu's chest was wet. It was very quiet at night, and he was also very quiet, as quiet as if he was asleep.
"Would you like to set off the lights tomorrow?" Bai Jiu slowly followed his back, "Go down the mountain and watch the fireworks."
Xin Yi was bored for a while before he said, "I don't want to go... I want to stay with you."
"Okay." Bai Jiu touched his hand, rubbing his fingertips lightly, "Stay together, we can stay anytime."
Xin Yi was followed by Bai Jiu, as if he was following his hair. Leaning against Bai Jiu, listening to Bai Jiu's methodical whispers, the pain gradually disappeared. The split in the chest seemed to be gently blown by someone, and the burning pain gradually faded away.
Xin Yi heard Bai Jiu slowly humming a nursery rhyme at the foot of Nanju Mountain in the dark, coaxing him, and clinging to him in everything. His fear of being awakened dissipated, and a new drowsiness hit him.
"want to… "
"Huh?" Bai Jiu tilted his ear.
Xin Yi kissed him softly on the ear, "I want Xingzi."
Bai Jiu seemed to be smiling, turned his head and kissed him back, and said without thinking, "I'll take it for you."
Xin Yi fell asleep again without dreaming, and Bai Jiu kept following his back in this posture, humming nursery rhymes intermittently.
The wind and snow are still there, but they can no longer touch his star point.
