Zhu Qingyun came back with a basin of water and put it at Dugu Sheng's feet.

Dugu Sheng said: "Sit on the bed." ”

The bed was a little high, so Zhu Qingyun climbed up with his hands and feet, and then turned over and sat over, with two little short legs hanging on the side of the bed.

Dugu Sheng moved the basin to Zhu Qingyun's feet, took off the shoes on his right foot, and washed his feet with water.

The cold water was poured on the wound on his left foot, and it hurt his heart, Zhu Qingyun gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

After washing the dirt from the wound, Dugu Sheng tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and wrapped it around Zhu Qingyun's left foot.

Zhu Qingyun was happy in his heart and said, "Thank you...... Uncle Dugu. ”

Dugu Sheng said: "Go to bed and stay there." "Then he went out with his sword.

"Where are you going?" Zhu Qingyun turned over and was about to get out of bed, and said hurriedly: "I'll go with you!" ”

"Stay honest!" Dugu Sheng paused and said, "I'll be back in a while." ”

Zhu Qingyun felt a little calmer, sat back on the bed obediently, and shouted at Dugu Sheng's back: "I'm waiting for you, you must come back soon." ”

From the moment Dugu Sheng disappeared from sight, Zhu Qingyun felt uneasy.

He was afraid that Dugu Sheng would leave him.

Niang is dead, and he is the only one in this world.

If Dugu Sheng didn't want him, Zhu Qingyun would have no place to stay.

Time passed little by little, Zhu Qingyun couldn't sit still anymore, jumped out of bed barefoot, and looked out with the door.

The end of the road was empty.

Zhu Qingyun became more and more panicked, tears overflowed his eyes, blurring his vision.

I don't know how long I looked at it, and Dugu Sheng's figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

Zhu Qingyun's hanging heart finally let go, hurriedly turned around and climbed onto the bed, swept away the dust on the soles of his feet, and sat cross-legged.

After a while, Dugu Sheng entered the house and threw a ball of things on the bed, "Put it on." ”

Zhu Qingyun looked at it, it was a cotton robe and a pair of boots, both new, obviously bought for him on a special trip.

Zhu Qingyun obediently changed it, although the boots were a little squeezed, and although the cotton robe almost hung down to the top of his feet, he was extremely happy in his heart. Although Dugu Sheng was always cold on his face, he always loved him in his heart, carried him to bed last night to sleep, cleaned the wounds on his feet this morning, and took the injuries to buy him new clothes and shoes.

Zhu Qingyun was so moved that he wanted to throw himself into Dugu Sheng's arms, but he knew that Dugu Sheng didn't like such an intimate act, so he had to say calmly: "Thank you, Uncle Dugu." ”

Dugu Sheng ignored him, went straight to the bed, sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes, as if he was in a state of mind.

Zhu Qingyun knew that he was using exercises to heal his wounds, so he didn't dare to disturb him, so he packed up the old clothes he had changed and put them in a wooden basin, and went to the pond to wash his clothes.

***

Although Dugu Sheng no longer drove him away, he rarely talked to him, except for practicing swords every day.

Whenever he danced his sword in the open space in front of the wooden house, Zhu Qingyun sat on the threshold, holding his little head and watching it fascinated.

In his eyes, Dugu Sheng was shining, as if he was a god descending from heaven, heroic, dazzling, and invincible.

Thinking that such Dugu Sheng was his father, Zhu Qingyun almost dreamed of laughing out loud.

Although Dugu Sheng treated him as cold as ever, Zhu Qingyun was not discouraged at all.

As long as he is well-behaved and considerate, Dugu Sheng will one day see his goodness and will accept him with open arms.

Therefore, Zhu Qingyun washes and cooks every day, cleans up the house, and never makes trouble for Dugu Sheng.

As the days passed, they had lived in this wilderness hut for more than two months.

One night, Zhu Qingyun was awakened by urine, and was about to get out of bed to relieve himself, when he found that Dugu Sheng beside him was gone.

There was a voice from outside, it was Dugu Sheng's voice: "You come to challenge, I naturally have no reason not to be." ”

An unfamiliar voice responded: "Okay, then it will be set on the twelfth day of the lunar month, Xiangyang City, and the Ethereal Tower." ”

Dugu Sheng said: "Okay." ”

The unfamiliar voice said, "Farewell." ”

Zhu Qingyun hurriedly lay down.

After a while, Dugu Sheng came into the house and went to bed.

Zhu Qingyun closed his eyes, thinking about what he had just heard.

It seems that Dugu Sheng is going to duel with people again. Although he won the last duel, he was also seriously injured. What will happen this time? If you think about Dugu Sheng's martial arts, you won't lose, but I don't know if you can get out of it all.

Don't be afraid, he will take good care of Dugu Sheng.

The urge to urinate hit again, Zhu Qingyun got up, bypassed Dugu Sheng and got out of bed to relieve himself.

When he came back, Dugu Sheng's breathing had sunk.

Zhu Qingyun looked at him in the moonlight for a moment, and cautiously climbed into bed.

The twelfth day of the lunar month has arrived in a blink of an eye.

After breakfast, Dugu Sheng said: "I have something to go out, you wait at home." ”

"Nope." Zhu Qingyun said: "I want to go with you." ”

Dugu Sheng frowned and said, "I said, let you wait at home." ”

Zhu Qingyun knew that this was a precursor to anger, so he said, "That...... So when are you coming back? ”

Dugu Sheng said: "Tomorrow." ”

Zhu Qingyun looked at him and said, "You will definitely come back, right?" ”

Dugu Sheng said lightly: "Hmm." ”

Zhu Qingyun said: "Then I'll wait for you here." ”

Dugu Sheng didn't answer again, took the Xuantie sword, and left without looking back.

Zhu Qingyun followed him quickly, and only stopped when he followed the main road.

He looked fixedly at Dugu Sheng's back as he walked farther and farther away, and murmured: "Dad, you must come back, Yun'er will always be here to wait for you." ”

Zhu Qingyun was restless all day.

After dinner, I went to bed early to rest.

When I was cleaning up the bed, I found a book under Dugu Sheng's pillow, and on the cover was Dugu Sheng's handwriting, with four strong characters written: Dugu Nine Swords.

It turned out to be Dugu Sheng's sword spectrum.

Zhu Qingyun was about to put it back in place, but suddenly a note fell out of the book.

Zhu Qingyun picked it up, stared at it, and couldn't help but feel shocked.

There are only a few words on the note, but every word pierces the heart: Yun'er, I'm leaving, don't wait for me, let alone look for me.

Zhu Qingyun had angina, tears came out of his eyes, and his little body lay on the bed crying silently.

"Daddy...... Father...... Why...... Why do you do this to me? What did Yun'er do wrong? Zhu Qingyun choked up while crying: "Dad...... Don't leave me behind...... Yun'er is scared...... Father...... Yun'er is so scared...... Daddy......"

Crying and crying, a few words suddenly popped up in Zhu Qingyun's mind: Xiangyang City, Ethereal Building!

He's going to find Dugu Sheng!

Zhu Qingyun wiped away the tears on his face, put on his clothes and shoes, and looked at the house, there was nothing to bring, only the book "Dugu Nine Swords" left by Dugu Sheng still had some value, so he took it into his arms, and ran into the night with tears in his eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he ran onto the road, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground.

Zhu Qingyun's eyes were full of tears, and it was pitch black in front of him, he couldn't see at all, he instinctively thought that Dugu Sheng was back, so he called forward: "Dad!" ”

In response to him, there was a sudden neighing of the horse, and then Zhu Qingyun received a heavy blow to his heart, and he fainted to death.

***

When Zhu Qingyun woke up again, it was already a month later.

He looked at the unfamiliar surroundings around him, dazed.

Recalling the scene before falling into a coma, Zhu Qingyun thought that he should have been kicked in the heart by a horse's hooves.

didn't have a life, it was a big life.

By the way, there is also Dugu Sheng.

As soon as he thought of him, Zhu Qingyun's heart ached, and tears immediately overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

Zhu Qingyun originally planned to go to Xiangyang to find Dugu Sheng.

But since Dugu Sheng planned to leave himself, with his martial arts, he would never let Zhu Qingyun find him.

I'm afraid that it will be impossible to see each other again in this life.

was sad to himself, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, Zhu Qingyun hurriedly wiped his tears, and saw a Taoist boy walk in, saw him wake up, very happy, and said: "Thank God, you finally woke up, you have been in a coma for more than a month." ”

Zhu Qingyun said: "What kind of place is this?" ”

Dao Tong said: "This is the head of the Quanzhen Sect, Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Quanzhen Religion? Jungnam Mountain? Zhu Qingyun is unheard of.

Dao Tong said again: "Wait a while, I'll call the master, his old man is very concerned about your injury." ”

After that, without waiting for Zhu Qingyun to answer, he turned around and went out.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man came in, with rough eyebrows, wide robe and wide sleeves, and very stylish.

Zhu Qingyun said: "You saved me?" ”

The man said, "I saved you, but I also hurt you." ”

Zhu Qingyun said: "Blame myself for not seeing the road clearly." ”

The man smiled and said: "My horse kicked and injured you that day, and the injury was very severe, I couldn't save it alone, so I took you back to Chongyang Palace in desperation, and asked my senior brother to help me heal your wounds." Now that you're awake, do you have a place to go? Is there anyone else in the family? I can send a disciple to send you back. ”

Zhu Qingyun said gloomily: "I have nowhere to go, and there is no one at home." ”

The man was silent for a moment and said, "Then what are your plans?" ”

Zhu Qingyun stepped forward, knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and said, "I implore Master to accept disciples as disciples!" ”

The man laughed and said, "Do you know who I am?" Do you know what the nature of my True Religion is? Do you dare to ask me to take you as a disciple? ”

Zhu Qingyun said: "I only know that you are a good person, and it will not hurt to worship a good person as a teacher." ”

The man smiled again and said, "It's clever." I see that you are young, and I can't make any judgments, so I will accept you as a lay disciple first, and when you are an adult, I will decide whether you want to officially worship under my Quanzhen Sect, okay? ”

Zhu Qingyun said respectfully: "I will respect Master's teachings." Dare to ask Master's honorable name? ”

The man said: "Quanzhen teaches Changchun Zhenren Qiu to deal with the opportunity. ”

Zhu Qingyun bowed and said, "Disciple remember. ”

Qiu Chuji helped him up from the ground, took out a book from the sleeve of his robe, handed it to Zhu Qingyun, and said: "This fell out of you, you have been in a coma, I will help you keep it for the time being, now return it to its original owner." ”

Zhu Qingyun took it with both hands, it was the book "Dugu Nine Swords", he couldn't help but be gloomy in his heart, lowered his eyes to hide it, and said: "Disciple Zhu Qingyun thanked the master." ”
