The dim light of the Yuanhuo lava lamp reflected the snow falling slowly outside the window lattice.

The woman on the couch gasped and coughed uncontrollably, and a suppressed voice came out.

Hua Yushi sat on the edge of the couch, and when she saw that she was awake, she reached out and slowly helped Duanmu Xiaoxian up, leaning on the wooden couch railing. "Senior sister, are you awake~~~"

There was a buzzing in my head, and there was still a burst of black light. Duanmu Xiaoxian lowered his head when he heard her voice, and sat with his eyes in his eyes, the expression between his eyebrows was tired and weak, and there was a little cold. "Senior sister is at the invitation of Xiao Er, and she came back to Yungu?"

Hua Yushi hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, and said: "Yes~ Your little apprentice passed the book to me, saying that you are seriously ill, I am extremely worried, so naturally I came in a hurry from thousands of miles away~"

Duanmu was silent for a while, coughed for a long time, and his voice trembled slightly: "...... What did Xiao Er promise you?"

Hua Yushi smiled even deeper, and said angrily: "Senior sister said this, but it really hurts my senior sister's heart~ Can't I have one time, I really want to save you?"

The white-clothed man's chest on the couch rose and fell slightly, his breath was unstable, and he only asked again: "Xiao Er...... What did I promise you?"

Hua Yushi stretched out a finger and touched the lips of the man in white: "As long as he can save you, he will do anything." ”

As he wished, he was stunned when he saw the person on the couch, Hua Yushi leaned close to Duanmu's side and said: "Including murder and arson, it's a big rebellion...... Betrayal of morality. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the chest of the man in white rose and fell even more, and Duanmu Xiaoxian said in a low voice: "I am difficult to get up, and I will die soon...... It is not caused by a cold and a poison every day, it is already a disease that cannot be done, and there is no medical treatment for the medicine stone...... Don't lie to him anymore. ”

Hua Yushi chuckled: "Don't lie, how do I know that the apprentice can do this step for the master? How do I know that the nephew of Yun Xiao can do this step for you?"

Duanmu turned his head to her, his expression was straight, and he was slightly dazed. "See what. ”

Hua Yushi couldn't help but sigh: "You have seen through the chaos of the world, the ups and downs of the world, but you have never understood the love of men and women, and the affection of fish and water...... These blind eyes don't seem to hinder you from seeing the world, but they keep teaching you to ignore the selfish desires and feelings of the people around you. Hua Yushi looked at her and said with a smile: "Do you know that your little apprentice has other thoughts about you?"

Duanmu is stagnant.

Long...... His expression was a little indifferent.

The voice was still slow, calm and slightly cold. "Xiao Er is my disciple, what his heart is, Duanmu has his own conclusion in his heart. There is no need for senior sister to say anything. ”

Hua Yushi got closer to her and said: "I know you don't believe it, when he kills people and burns bones for you, and brings the medicine made from the ashes of the boy, it won't be too late for you to think about my words again~"

“…… What do you say?"

"I told the two of them, you need to bathe yourself with the ashes of a child to cover the death qi of the Gu in your body, and I can cure it. The nephew of the green leaf master said that you will not tolerate it, so he did not ...... But Yun Xiao's nephew seems to be able to save you, and the lives of others are no matter how unhesitant and insignificant...... This is really a 'good disciple' who is extremely filial~" Hua Yushi stroked the cheek of the man in white and said softly: "It's really envious of Senior Sister~"

Duanmu Immortal's face was as pale as snow, and the sea rose and fell in his empty eyes, and his breath became more and more unstable unconsciously.

"Do you think ~ he won't do this?"

Suddenly, I remembered a person and a word, vaguely like yesterday, and the sound was in my ears.

……

"You are close and far, and you treat everyone equally, just like a saint! We don't have your Qingyun Sect Master's mind to love the world! In our eyes, people are three, six, nine, and so on! Relatives are estranged and close, and those who can give up and those who can't give up! I am happy to see some people die, and some people will not blink even if they break their bones and raise ashes!"

……

Suddenly, his eyes were closed, and Duanmu Xiaoxian's voice trembled slightly: "Human lives are important...... Don't give birth to a heart that is easy to take......" After a moment, Duanmu Xiaoxian said word by word: "Xiao Er's heart, although there is a sign of determination, but still see the quality of gentleness and quietness...... It's hard to disregard human life and hurt people for no reason as Senior Sister said......"

Hua Yushi couldn't help but hook her lips, and Ying Ying looked at her with a smile: "Heh~ Senior sister is so sure, then I'll wait and see~"

Duanmu Xiaoxian slowly closed his eyes, his eyebrows sank, and he shouldn't be her.

……

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

The wind and snow lingered, Ye Luye pursued Yun Xiao did not return, Hua Yushi turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen to find some food by himself, when he went out, he saw a person in Tsing Yi standing in the courtyard from a distance, Tsing Yi was like a bamboo, and the wind and snow lingered.

He didn't know when he had returned, what he was holding in his hand, and he was standing still in front of the drinking bamboo house.

A small white porcelain bowl was bubbling hot in his palm.

The look is fascinated, and the scene is picturesque.

Hua Yushi looked at it and smiled.

The man in Tsing Yi seemed to wake up, and after a moment, he clenched the small bowl in his hand and walked towards the drinking bamboo house.

When the two of them were staggering, the man in colorful clothes saw the small bowl in his hand, a bowl of white and thick hot porridge mixed with gray fine powder, carefully mixed in the soup porridge, and expected that the taste should be extremely light.

Hua Yushi stood in front of the bamboo house, smiling slightly and watching the person in Tsing Yi push the door in. Only then did he realize that the young man seemed to be afraid.

Hua Yushi suddenly felt in a very good mood, leaning outside the door, smiling deeper and deeper, smiling out of a shallow layer of mist and looking at the snowflakes spinning and flying outside the corridor...... I only felt that a dream was born, and I was never lonely, and my heart was confused.

The man in Tsing Yi closed the door of the drinking bamboo house to keep the wind and snow out, and walked straight to the wooden couch behind the screen.

Standing on the side of the screen with a small bowl in his hand, he saw the person leaning on the couch, his expression was immediately calm, and his eyes were soft. "Master, you're awake. ”

When the person on the couch heard this, he was shocked for some reason, and turned his head to look in his direction.

The young man in Tsing Yi approached slowly, put down the porridge bowl in his hand on the table on the side of the couch, took the snow on the screen and draped it for the person on the couch as he had done countless times in the past, and tied the brocade belt on his shoulders.

The breath of the young man was sprayed very lightly in front of the woman's nose at this moment, just as it had been in the past. Duanmu Xiaoxian's fingers trembled slightly, and his heart was suffocated for some reason, and he avoided it without a trace.

Yun Xiao paused his fingers, and then put down the tied brocade ribbon and stepped back as if impermanent.

"It's past dinner time, Xiao Er brought porridge, Master please use it. Turning his hand to bring the small bowl on the table, he handed it to the woman on the couch with both hands, and the man in Tsing Yi continued calmly: "Tonight, the wind and snow are cold, drink the porridge disciples and boil the water, and the master will warm up his body and then rest." ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian curled up between his fingers, and after a moment, Fang slowly stretched out his hand and took the porridge bowl. “…… Where's Lu'er?"

"Senior sister has something to do and has not returned from the hospital. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian held the vegetarian porridge in his hand, and his expression was a little confused: "...... What's the matter?"

The man in Tsing Yi said calmly: "I didn't say anything." ”

The man in white lowered his head and wanted to say anything...... The hand that scooped up the white porridge and held it up suddenly stopped.

The man in Tsing Yi stood in front of the couch and looked at her, without saying a word, his expression unchanged.

Duanmu Xiaoxian raised the spoon in his hand for a long time, but he didn't say anything or move.

Yun Xiao slowly lowered his eyes, lowered his head, and said quietly: "The porridge is cold and hurts the stomach, so it's better for the master to drink it while it's hot." ”

The woman's fingers trembled slightly, and her voice was extremely hoarse. "In the porridge, the ashes...... Where did ...... come from?"

Yun Xiao raised his eyes, lowered his eyes again, and said slowly in a flat voice: "The son of a farmer at the foot of the mountain outside the valley is sick and weak, and he will die soon, and the disciple gave some silver taels to buy this son from his father......

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the fingers of the woman on the couch trembling.

Yun Xiao pursed her lips and silenced, and the next moment she saw that the woman was unsteady in raising the spoon, and stepped forward to hold the porridge bowl and spoon in her hand. "Man is dead, and bones are burned...... If the second master has already sued the master, is it okay for the master to drink the porridge?"

Breathing gradually became unsteady, and a clear wheezing sound could be heard slowly in the room.

Duanmu Xiaoxian's ten fingers trembled even more, and his face was pale and uncontrollable: "What she said, what you said...... True?"

The people in Tsing Yi can also breathe rapidly, purse their lips and face, and there is almost no reflection in their quiet and dull eyes. He bowed his head and said word by word: "That sick son is sick and weak every day, and he will die soon, the disciple will give him some silver taels to help him get rid of the pain early, and the old father can live a better life...... What's wrong?"

Duanmu trembled: "What did you say to him?"

The ten fingers clenched tighter and tighter, and Duanmu Xiaoxian said again: "What did you say about your father?"

Yun Xiao was silent for a while, and then said, "Take him away and use him to test the medicine, or it may be curable." However, the odds are slim. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian lowered his eyes for a long time, and at the end, he couldn't hold back, and his voice trembled: "Give him hope, induce him to sell his son, tell him about the danger, and shirk it in advance...... Half-truths and half-truths, deceiving people's hearts. Duanmu Immortal's eyes trembled, and the glimmer in his eyes floated. “…… Did I teach you to be what you are now?"

The eyes of the man in Tsing Yi were steeply red, and the five fingers on the white porcelain bowl were clear and slender, and they were so strong that they turned white.

His lips trembled several times, and finally he suffocated his voice and said word by word: "The dying person, why is it wrong to use his sick life to save the master?"

Duanmu Xiaoxian's face was white to colorless, his breathing was stagnant, and his eyes trembled for a long time...... Speechless.

"Man should take care of himself, and then take care of those close to him, and then talk about the blessings and misfortunes of those who have nothing to do with him. Yun Xiao looked straight at her, and said quietly and solemnly: "For the life and death of others, a master who does not hesitate to do anything close to him, let alone himself, is against human nature. ”

After a moment's pause, he finally said: "In the long run, even if there is no one behind him, everyone will betray their relatives, and it will not be a problem. ”

The blood under his chest was pouring like a wave, and the person on the couch forcibly suppressed the blood that poured into his throat, and only sat upright.

There was a buzzing in my ears, and I felt an uncontrollable pain in my heart...... It seems to have heard the words of the past:

"Poison Castle ...... It's Brother Mei and Ah Zi who are desperately trying to protect you, Master...... To the end...... They're all dead......"

"I don't understand, I don't understand...... Why did Master want them to die?"

"Master is just ...... There are so many people to protect...... I can't take care of them. ”

……

The memories are not finished, and tears are rolling down.

Yun Xiao saw the tears on her face, and her heart felt like it had been pierced, and it hurt convulsively.

The hand holding the bowl was white and shaky. Tears fell into the wet clothes between the first turns, soaked between the long sleeves of Tsing Yi, dripping silently.

Master......

"If you go, you should be a ......" Duanmu Xiaoxian said in a trembling voice: "You have never recognized me as a teacher." ”

The tears were uncontrollable for a moment, falling like rain, wet clothes...... The man in Tsing Yi stopped in front of the couch, silent for a long time, silent without saying a word.
