2. Sneaky

As soon as Lin Yan opened his eyes, he saw a person.

Xu Xiaofei was looking down at him, bullying him so close that he was almost coming to his face. When he woke up, he straightened up suddenly, as if startled.

What he was doing, Lin Yan didn't know at all.

He only panicked for a moment, and then smiled: "You finally woke up." They said you were fine, but I saw that you had been in a coma and couldn't put your mind at ease. ”

A person with a "smile" in his name may not be very good at laughing, but he really smiles more sincerely and enthusiastically than others, which makes people feel good at first sight.

What he was doing just now seemed to be more open-minded.

"It's just a fall, it's okay. Sounds like you woke up much earlier than I did. ”

Lin Yan struggled to sit up, and Xu Xiaofei also helped him. The pain was excruciating, and every bone felt like it had been smashed by a sledgehammer.

He said it lightly, but in fact, he fell and almost fell apart.

The rippling spiritual power was emitted by a talisman jade pendant he wore, which could resist spell damage, but it could not reduce its strength. As long as you practice for a period of time, your physical body will be stronger than gold and iron, so the talisman magic weapons used by the monks generally do not have the function of resisting falls.

"I've practiced a little Taoism, and my muscles and bones are stronger than yours. Xu Xiaofei said, "This time you and Han Daochang saved me, I don't thank you for your kindness, I have this kindness in my heart, and I will definitely repay it in the future." ”

"What a reward. That demon cultivator is obviously planning to let you go, don't you blame me for making a rash move?" Lin Yan sighed, "This secret treasure was handed down by my ancestors, I thought it was enough to deal with that demon cultivator, but I didn't expect that he still had the strength to fight back before he died, and we were all injured." ”

"How can I blame you, you are also kind-hearted!" Seeing his depressed expression, Xu Xiaofei hurriedly comforted, "Daoist Han also said that people in the Demon Dao are scheming, even if he agrees to the conditions, he may not really let me go." He saw that you didn't follow the law, but you were able to act fearlessly, and he praised you very much. ”

That's true. Lin Yan knew that without his intervention, the demon cultivator in the original plot would have seriously injured him first when he let go of Xu Xiaofei. Han Yue was in a hurry to bring people back to the sect for treatment, so he didn't care about tracking him down anymore.

Lin Yan listened to him while looking around.

Naturally, this is not the collapsed tea shed, the house is lit with calming incense, and the furnishings are also very elegant. And he was sitting on a large, soft bed.

"This is the Loose Pie. Xu Xiaofei said, "Daoist Han brought us back, let us rest here for a few more days, and then leave after all the injuries are healed." ”

Sure enough, Lin Yan was not surprised. This is the original plot of the game.

"He's just come to check on us, and if you're feeling unwell, I can call him with the messenger he left behind. ”

"Not necessarily. Lin Yan shook his head.

He glanced at Xu Xiaofei again, and suddenly said, "There is a sentence I actually wanted to ask you just now." Why did you come to visit me in your dirty clothes?"

"This, it's because I slipped over from next door and wanted to see you......" Xu Xiaofei blushed.

Lin Yan immediately understood that this guy was the kind of patient who gave the doctor the most headache. Han Yue should have told him to stay in bed and recuperate.

"Now that you've seen it, shouldn't you go back and rest?"

"I'm bored alone, do you really want to drive me away?"

Lin Yan didn't answer, just looked at him.

After staring at each other for a moment, Xu Xiaofei was defeated: "Okay, I'll come to see you later." ”

"It's better to take care of your injuries, and don't sneak around again. If you really want to come again, get dressed first. ”

“…… Be. Xu Xiaofei said.

Xu Xiaofei was driven away like this, and before he left, he asked Lin Yan again: "By the way, do you have ......?"

"What's there?"

"Is there a ......" This seems to be an unspeakable question, Xu Xiaofei hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "It's nothing." ”

What kind of dumb riddle he was playing, Lin Yan didn't know at all, and he couldn't guess it.

He lay down again, and a wave of sleepiness welled up.

The demonic cultivator's spiritual power was poisonous, and the poisonous gas invaded his internal organs, making him lose energy.

After a while, he was already snorting evenly, as if he had gone to the Black Sweet Country.

However, in his spiritual sense, he "saw" a person sneaking back. Even if he doesn't have spiritual power, his perception is far from being comparable to an ordinary person who doesn't know the Tao, and even if his eyes are closed, he can see it clearly.

The person who slipped back was of course Xu Xiaofei.

There was something strange on his face.

The warm and cheerful smile was put away, and the brows were locked, and he kept staring at his face closely, as if he was trying to remember something, and as if he was troubled by something incomprehensible.

“…… Brother Lin, Brother Lin?" he suddenly called softly.

Of course, Lin Yan will not respond. He was already "asleep", still sleeping deeply, and he would not "wake up" unless there was a fire in his room. He really wanted to see what kind of medicine Xu Xiaofei was selling in his gourd.

Xu Xiao froze. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind.

Then he did something unexpected - to the surprise of Lin Yan.

He lightly lifted Linyan's quilt, uncovered his dirty clothes, and looked towards his chest. When his gaze touched a flame-shaped scar on his chest, the whole person froze, and his fingers trembled.

In addition to shock, there is also confusion, confusion, and pain......

All kinds of expressions appeared on his face.

If a soft-hearted person sees him like this, I'm afraid he can't help but cry.

Xu Xiaofei opened his mouth slightly, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength before he restrained himself and did not scream.

What is going on? Lin Yan didn't understand.

His heart was not soft enough, and Xu Xiaofei's expression couldn't move him. He just couldn't figure it out. Almost no one knows about this scar, even if Xu Xiaofei is a time-traveler who knows a lot of secrets like him, he shouldn't know it. If Xu Xiaofei really is, he has no spiritual power at the moment, which can be said to be the best time to get rid of him, the great enemy.

But Xu Xiaofei had all the looks on his face, but he didn't have a murderous aura.

On the contrary, there is a trace of tenderness in the pain.

This attitude is as if they were a pair of lovers who had experienced many ups and downs, but were finally separated by impermanent fate......

However, looking back before and after the crossing, Lin Yan has not found such a person in two lifetimes.

Xu Xiaofei took a few deep breaths, put away his dirty clothes for him, folded the quilt, and moved gently.

The miserable look gradually dissipated like a haze.

"Great," he laughed and muttered, "you didn't die ......"

The warm, slightly bitter liquid flowed into the throat.

When Lin Yan woke up again, a pretty girl with a bun was feeding him medicine.

The first thing I heard was Xu Xiaofei's voice: "Brother Lin, are you awake? Do you feel better? Do you want to eat and drink something?" I was hungry and panicked, Han Daochang and Miss Qi brought us food, if you can eat, let's eat together later." ”

Han Yue was really on the side, and when he saw Lin Yan's gaze turning, he smiled gently at him. And Xu Xiaofei was holding a square wooden box in his hand, and a little aroma emanated from it.

Lin Yan sighed imperceptibly, he felt that the room was a little crowded, and Xu Xiaofei's words were a little too much.

"Thanks to the elixir of the two of you, I already feel much better. He said. It's a lot more relaxed.

"The injury is still secondary, that demon is practicing poisonous skills, and the poisonous gas has invaded your internal organs, and it needs to be removed slowly. You're going to have to stay here a little longer. The girl said.

Lin Yan recognized her as Qi Yan, the little junior sister of the Carefree School - and one of the protagonist's targetes. At the moment, Xu Xiaofei doesn't seem to be interested in her.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, he may be a little more interested in himself.

"In that case, it seems that there are only a few more days left to bother your faction. "Lin Yan said.

"What's the bother," this time it was Han Yue who opened his mouth, "It's because he is not good at learning arts, and it affects the two of them, so please don't be surprised." He clenched his fists and bowed sincerely.

"Daoist Han was polite. Lin Yan and Xu Xiaofei both said.

After a few words of greeting, the two people from the free faction said goodbye, and Xu Xiaofei stayed.

He sat on the edge of the bed and opened the food box, which contained a few delicate side dishes and a jar of water. "It's a pity that there is no wine", he handed a pair of chopsticks to Lin Yan.

"What wine does the sick drink? ”

"But there is no wine to match, and no matter how good the food tastes, it seems that something is missing. ”

"I don't mind if there's alcohol or not. If you mind, just watch me eat it. ”

"Brother Lin," Xu Xiaofei heard this, removed his eyes from the plate of honey-roasted ham, looked at Lin Yan with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "Is it my delusion? You seem to be colder to me than before." Say good at first sight, you ...... You're not lying to me, are you?"

Oh, I'm lying to you.

Of course, Lin Yan would not answer like this, he also looked back at Xu Xiaofei, with a mysterious expression, and said slowly after a while: "Yes, I accidentally snubbed you, sorry." I was just thinking about a strange thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I had a dream not long ago that a ghost got into the bed and blew on my chest, a dark wind, cold and cold. I heard that the Dao Gate is built in a treasure land with abundant yang energy, can there be ghosts too?"

"Really?" Xu Xiaofei laughed dryly, "That's probably a mischievous ghost." It's disgusting to disturb people's dreams. ”

"Abominable indeed. Don't mention this, let's eat, I'm hungry too. "Lin Yan said.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Xiaofei.

A few dishes were quickly swept away, and Xu Xiaofei put away the food box and put it aside.

"Do you really want to hear me read that ...... What scripture?" Xu Xiaofei said. He was just talking about Qi Yan seeing that he was bored, so he threw him a few books for him to relax.

"I'll read it to you, but I don't have anything to do. If you don't want to hear it, bring it to me and I'll read it myself. ”

Xu Xiaofei was obviously not happy to be left aside, and hurriedly said, "I'll read it to you." If there is a word I don't know, please teach me. You are indeed a reader, and as soon as I opened the book and saw that the paper was densely packed, I felt that one head was two big. ”

Before he got up and went to pick up the book next door, he still said with some reluctance: "If you want to relieve your boredom, do you want to listen to me tell a few stories?" For a while, I didn't even have a copper plate on my body. ”

"Oh, you still said books?" Lin Yan was a little surprised.

In fact, there is nothing surprising, the original protagonist is a poor boy, in order to make a living, there is nothing that can not be done. It's just that he rarely thought about what the protagonist looked like before the opening.

"It's not just storytelling, driving cars, setting up stalls, and running restaurants...... There is also the 'to' of the juggling team, that is, the kind that they are the first to applaud after the performance and take the lead in throwing the reward money into the bowl. Xu Xiaofei said, "I've done it all, although I haven't done it for a long time." I wanted to go to Xuancheng to seek the Tao, so I saved up the money and continued on the road. ”

What he said is a meager income, and it would be good to be able to eat, but it was not easy to save up for the journey. Lin Yan thought of the first time he met him, he said that there were only a dozen copper plates left on his body, and he was worried about what to eat tomorrow, so he couldn't help but say: "It seems that you used to have a hard time." ”

"It's not hard, my body is better than others," Xu Xiaofei smiled and said sincerely, "Moreover, everyone treats me very well." ”

Lin Yan also believes this sentence. Although Xu Xiaofei talked a little more and was a little sneaky, he didn't annoy him.

Is it the protagonist's aura? Not really. Xu Xiaofei has his own power to infect people.

Of course, even if Lin Yan doesn't hate Xu Xiaofei, when the day comes to the contradictory position, he will still do it without hesitation.
