When he closed his eyes, he heard the young man call him in a low voice: "Hey, little flower, where are you from?" What are your plans for here? I see that the spots on your face look like leprosy, but not all of them, so stand up and let me see, I know some medical skills, if it is leprosy, there is no way, if it is something else, maybe I can help you heal. Hey, little flower? Little is called Hanako! ”

The two of them have never known each other in their lives, but this time they met in Pingshui, why did he heal him kindly? Look at this kid's shrewd eyebrows, he is by no means an honest guy who is willing to suffer. A slight sneer appeared on Liu Qu's lips, and he was silent.

He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and slowly remembered Gillian.

"Hey, what about you? Little called flowers? Little called flowers? ”

He ignored him, and the boy found himself bored, thinking that he was sleepy, so he snorted twice, and then fell asleep.

The sound of rain outside the cave gradually decreased, and it was dripping......

Where can Liu go and still sleep? In her eyes, Gillian's slightly smiling face floated up, and then gradually turned into a bleak appearance of flesh and blood......

His eyes shook again and again, shaking his whole heart with pain.

In the mountains at night, there is a hint of coolness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow. On a night like this, the cold makes all your senses clearer. It was he who failed Gillian, and even, it was he who indirectly killed Gillian.

He vaguely understood in his heart that the murderer who killed Gillian was likely to be the stepmother who saved him and raised him, Wei Zifu.

However, can he kill Wei Zifu to avenge Gillian?

Now he may be able to kill anyone without blinking, but for this woman, he still can't do it!

At the beginning, he was trapped in the deep palace, tortured by others, and on the verge of life and death all day long, it was she, this woman who was only a little older than him, stretched out her hand to him-

He always remembered that day, Wei Zifu took his hand and led him all the way back to Ganquan Palace from the dark and damp house, her palm was soft and warm, like the hand of his dead mother.

He always remembered that in the Ganquan Palace, it was this woman who did not dislike him at all, and the palace people fetched hot water, leaned over to bathe him with his own hands......

His own mother died, and for so many years, she was like his mother.

In the process of choosing the person to act as the representative of the government, she has been silently encouraging him and supporting him.

…… He clenched his teeth.

At this moment, there was a slight sound in his ears, and he was extremely alert, and he tilted his ears slightly, only to distinguish that it was the young man who tiptoed out, and then quietly turned back, and then, a wind came towards him. This kid is going to attack him secretly?!

His eyes darkened, and he was about to twist his backhand and smash that kid's arm! After thinking about it, he suddenly jumped up and pounced on the young man.

"Ah......" The young man was really startled by him, and the things in his hand also fell out, and the whole person sat on the ground.

That thing...... It's a broken branch.

"Die, die...... Death is called Hanako, you are trying to scare the master to death! The young master raised his eyebrows and got up from the ground scolding.

Liu Qu sneered, "Someone attacked me in front, who is to blame?" ”

The young man suddenly sighed, "Alas, who asked me to talk to you and you ignored it, I don't know if you have leprosy on your body, so I don't dare to touch you easily, so I want to use this method to call you up, so that I can take a closer look and facilitate the diagnosis and medicine." ”

"You and I are just friends, what does it matter to you whether I live or die, why do you want to be good to me? I told you that I have nothing to give back to you. He looked at him sarcastically.

"I'm mad at your grandfather and me! Why do you look like this? Why do you keep thinking about what I want from you! What can I do to you! If you want money, you don't have money, you want colorless! Can't I just do nothing! The boy was very angry, jumped up, grinned at him, and in the dim light, the young man's lips, red, tongue, and powder, a mouthful of small white teeth shone brightly.

Liu Qu's muscles tightened slightly, and there was a feeling as if he had been bitten, and a slightly tingling and itchy feeling jumped up from his abdomen......

After all, he was a few years older than this young man, and he was well-informed, so he immediately fought back, "No." My adoptive mother raised me because I could overcome all obstacles for her in the future; My brothers followed me because I had risked my life to save them from the Assassins; My attendants honour me because I have chosen them out of many and have given them a new life. There used to be people who were kind to me and didn't ask for anything, but they were all dead. Later, when I lost my usefulness in the process of seizing the family property, I was kicked out of the house by my parents and brothers. You say, why should I believe you? ”

Although the last sentence was made up by him, in fact, if he couldn't win the right to act for Emperor Wu in the court this time, how could he not end up like this?

He drove all the way from the palace to here, passing through many counties and villages, all kinds of people along the way, some were disgusted with him, and some pretended to show favor for his money, although among them, there were also those who pitied him, but these people only talked too much, and then at most gave him some leftovers and cold rice, and then did nothing else, after all, it was just the life and death of a stranger, wasn't it?

The young man had a wrinkled face and glared at him angrily, but at this time, he looked at him seriously, soothed his brows, muttered something in a low voice, and finally lay down and fell asleep.

Nothing to say? A hint of mockery flashed in Liu Qu's eyes, and he also slowly lay down.

It was almost dawn when he heard the boy's clothes rustle that he closed his eyes.

He woke up after an hour or two of light sleep, but he was surprised to find two lines of words carved on the ground with stones: Xiao Zhaohua, I went to work. If you get tired of being in it and want to come out and let it out or something, don't tell anyone that you live with me, or I'll be driven away.

The irony in his heart was even stronger.

Out of the cave, a short walk, I saw the mining river.

People were digging for stones there, and the boy was among them. Unlike the half-curled, barebackless men in the village, he didn't wear his sleeves and trousers, his hair hung down slightly, his cheeks were slightly bulging, he seemed to grit his teeth with some difficulty, and his little wheat-colored face was covered with sweat, and he was clutching his pickaxe tightly. Don't look at his small size, the stones stacked around him are no less than others.

His clothes and shoes are not badly workmanlike, and looking at his words and deeds, he should have some background, why did he do hard labor here to earn a few bucks and silver? It's the children of rich and noble families who play here.

But what does his business have to do with him? Liu went to laugh at himself and walked towards the depths of the mountain forest.

As the young man said, there will be prey in the depths of the mountains and forests, and it took him nearly two or three hours to find the place where the prey is found in the mountains and forests when he performed light skills along the way, no wonder there was no prey near the jade mine last night.

He hunted a rabbit, roasted it, and cleaned himself in a small lake in the woods before turning back.

When I got back to the cave, it was already dark.

The boy was gone.

Just as he guessed.

He's meant to avoid him, isn't he? There are dozens of caves here, and they may all be full of people, but there is no "leprosy" on his face, so he can just enter any one.

He took out the fire fold and lit it, put his hands behind his head, lay down casually, closed his eyes, and his mind was empty. Since leaving the palace, all the thoughts in his mind have been empty, unwilling to think about it, and it hurts when he thinks about it. There were no tears, and my eyes were so dry that I wanted to crack.

"Little Hanako, come, you can eat......"

A faint voice brought him to his senses, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and when he looked up, he saw the young man crouching in front of the cave, his robe swinging with something in his pocket. The lights were faint, and the wind sounded softly outside the kiln.

The child's face was a little pale, and he frowned, as if he was a little uncomfortable.

He was slightly startled, then slowly got up, and stopped a few steps ahead of him. Wasn't he afraid that his illness would infect him, so he pulled away and squinted at him.

The boy glared at him with some resentment, sat down on the floor with his robe in his arms, and piled the contents on the ground.

Two jugs of wine, two oiled paper packets.

Liu Qu was a little surprised, according to the situation during the day, the miners here only had a pot of wine and an oiled paper bag for each meal, and the oiled paper bag might contain rice or baked cakes or something.

Seeing the kid glaring at him, he asked coldly, "Where did you get the things?" ”

The boy tilted his head, "I helped the overseers do some polishing things at night. Those miners won't, I'm amazing! So I asked them for an extra meal, alas, I didn't have much money with me when I came out, and I was separated from my companions, and now it's so hard to eat something, it's really bloody. To give. His voice was a little wistful.

Seeing him hand one of the things to himself with trembling hands, Liu Qu gritted his teeth slightly.

"This hand doesn't listen to the call, overexerts force, and exhausts Lao Tzu. Pick it up, you haven't eaten for a day, aren't you hungry? I didn't care about you for lunch, you know, I need to work hard. Okay, let's eat. ”

The young man left him alone after speaking, sat down on the ground, took a small wine jug and took a sip of wine.

His hands were still shaking violently, and there were several cracked blood marks on his palms, which he had injured while polishing the stone.

Liu Qu twisted his eyebrows, and suddenly reached out to shake his hand. The young man was startled, looked at him in a daze, and was so shocked that he dropped the flask. Liu went to catch the flask with agility.

The young man was stunned, his hands were hot, and he glared at him in horror, "What are you going to do here?" ”

Liu Qu didn't say much, seeing that his face was blue and his lips were white, he knew that he consumed too much physical strength, this kind of work is not to say that it is difficult for a person like him to look thin, even a stout man is also hard, not to mention that he has an extra job at night. He took his hand and pushed the internal force into his hand.

The boy originally thought that he was uneasy and kind, but then he felt a trickle of warmth flowing from the palm of his hand into his body, so he called out comfortably: "Xiao Hanako, do you want to help me massage?" Still sitting on the ground, he took back the flask in Liu's other hand and continued to drink deliciously.

Liu went to secretly think: I don't want to owe him. After giving him some internal force, he went back and lay down.

Seeing that he was still like an iceberg, the young man frowned, and brought the wine and oil paper packet to him.

"Give." The young man said, remembering something, and quickly added, "Oh, I don't want you to give me anything, we are destined people, you see, I finally went out of the house, and no one could meet me, but I met you." Wronged family, wronged family, that is the fate of how many times I had to twist my neck in my previous life. The boy said, feeling humorous, and bent down to laugh.

Liu went to listen to his sour tone, a man is not a man, a woman is not a woman, and there is an urge to throw him out.

But the man pushed the food over again, piled it under the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Chicken and mushroom stewed rice, fragrant." ”

Liu Qu was a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "You eat by yourself, I'm not hungry." ”

"There is no habit of asking for the things sent out by the master, so if you don't eat them, you will take them and throw them away!" The young man was also annoyed, gave him a cold look, sat back on his soft grass, opened his oiled paper bag, and bowed his head to eat.

Liu went to eat for the first time in his life.

Most of the reasons are that it is difficult to refuse, and the other part is that Liu Qu learned the etiquette practice in the palace on weekdays, and the suffering of being full and hungry in his childhood, so that he did not have the habit of wasting food.

For the second time in his life, he felt a sense of remorse, even if the two things were big and small, and they were not related.

The first time was when I didn't go to Gillian's appointment; This second time, he had just eaten a whole rabbit.

The young man smiled and looked at him, "Little Hanako, we're in the same boat, I don't know your name yet." What is your name? ”

"I don't have a name."

Liu went to be intuitively irritable. He entered the deep mountains and old forests to ask for quiet, maybe it should be said to think, how can this person be so noisy! Knowing that he must ask to the end, in order to keep his ears clean, he simply blocked his words first.

The young man didn't care, his eyes flashed, and he said: "You are cold, hard, and you have been pushed here, so it is better to have a blessed name, since you don't have a name, then call it Laifu." ”

What a nasty name!

Liu Qu smiled coldly and asked rhetorically, "Then what's your name?" ”

When the young man heard this, he stood up and turned around, "With the demeanor of the young master, what do you say it should be called?" ”

"What's it called?" Liu asked, his eyebrows twisted. It's really close to the ink black, this person is crazy, and he is crazy with him.

"Pan An."

Liu Qufang saw that he didn't answer for a long time, so he lowered his head and continued to eat, and when he heard the words, he squirted out the rice, and after a while, he said sourly: "Oh, it turned out to be Pan An." He stopped eating, drank a sip of wine, lay down again, ignored him, tensed his belly, endured and endured, and finally did not laugh.

The young man nodded solemnly, and said, "Now that our names have also been exchanged, we can learn more about it." ”

The corners of Liu Qu's mouth tensed. One is a pseudonym given by himself, and the other is a name he gave him indiscriminately, which is also called exchanging names?

He closed his eyes, only to hear the other party still saying in Shinto, "You're not going to leave now, are you?" When the master is done with things, he will take you out for treatment. ”

Convinced that he had nothing to give him, Liu closed his eyes and ignored what he said.

During this time, he heard him squirt out, and it took a long time to turn back, and a faint scent of soaphorn floated in the air. He seemed to have gone to take a shower.

"Laifu, are you sleeping? I see that you have tossed and turned several times, come, the master will sing you a song. ”

"A good spring is not as good as a dream, the grass is fragrant in the dream, grab a dream with you, the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water, and the breeze blows the slanting sun, the flowers bloom every year for a thousand years, and the good time ...... every day"

"Come to the world once in a hurry, the wind and waves, hell and heaven, and your brilliant face, happy moments are also long, go forward happily and never look back, this flower blooms and falls for a thousand years in all shapes, I still look like myself......"

In a slightly hoarse snort, Liu Qu's eyelids suddenly moved, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that on the other side of the "Chu River Han Realm", the corners of the young man's mouth were slightly curved, and a pair of dark eyes were full of tenderness.

There seemed to be a force in his eyes that could penetrate all the hardness and years, through this lonely cave, and finally fell into the unknown distance.

He was inexplicably angry, and didn't want the young man to see his prying eyes, but found that "Pan An" didn't know what he was thinking at all, and although his eyes were staring at him, he didn't know where his gaze had gone.

The thoughts that had been tense were inexplicably relaxed, and the strange anger that still existed became blurred in the faint aroma of soaphorn. For the first time in these days after Gillian's death, he fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the boy was no longer there, and he went to work again.

The quiet and noisy days soon passed for months.

He really didn't know how this "Pan An" could say so much, and every night when he came back, he had to talk to him a lot...... Nonsense.

Of course, not many sentences are true.

Today, he said that his father loved his mother in every way and was unswerving until death, and he could write a romance novel; Tomorrow he will say that his father has five little wives and ten children, and he can write a house fight novel; The day after tomorrow, he said that he was an orphan, tasted the sweets and sorrows of the world, and could write a social novel.

He also said how the daughter of their county magistrate loved him, and how he loved the young lady; Then he said that the person he loved didn't know whether he loved him or not, and he didn't show him any ......

The young man also asked him about his family, but he did not answer. After a few months, in the words of the teenager, it is: Laifu, you know the affairs of the first five generations and the next five generations of my family, I don't know who you are, I say more in one night than you say in a month.

The man still worked two jobs a day, digging rocks during the day and grinding at night, and changing food for him.

Liu thought to himself: If he hadn't wanted to see how long this man could hold out and finally ask him what he wanted, he might have left the cave long ago.

He just watched quietly and coldly, without telling him that he could leave at any time and would not starve to death, and that he would no longer give him true anger.

He was waiting, waiting for the boy to stop and ask him for something. After all, although this man didn't know anything about him, he had revealed that he came from a large family. Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, aren't they?

He knew that this man was not simple, even if he was only a half-grown child.

It's just that he doesn't want to know the other party's secrets, and that has nothing to do with him.

For example, he had suspected that he was a woman.

It was not long after he had known him, and that night, when the boy returned, he did not know what had happened, and there was no ordinary joy in his eyes, and he did not speak to him, but after giving him his meal, he sat down on the soft grass and hummed a tune in a low voice.

His heart moved, and he wanted to ask him what had happened, but he felt nosy and stopped.

The child sang and hummed, and his voice sounded softer and softer, like a girl.

He was slightly shocked, and Ben ate his meal in silence, but slowly paused and looked at the past quietly.

The young man leaned his neck slightly, his throat was flat, not as obvious as most men's Adam's apples, and although his skin was not white, it was extremely delicate. At this time, he leaned up on his neck, and the cyan veins loomed and flowed slowly under the delicate skin.

If it weren't for the fact that the words and deeds of the young man did not have a hint of a woman's attitude, he would have suspected it a long time ago.

He sneered slightly in his heart, and he couldn't help but say something tentatively, "Why are you pretending to be a man?" ”

"Why are you ......" The young man was obviously startled, then stared at him vigilantly, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I'm a real man! If I am a woman and I sleep with you, and you shout so that people will know about it, should I still marry? ”

This person may not have noticed it, but Liu Qu intuitively felt that there was a contradiction in his words, but it was impossible for him to peel off the other party's clothes to see. If this man is really a woman, will he marry her?

It's just that if "he" is a woman...... He tightened his eyebrows suddenly, why did "he" do this man's hard work and give him an extra job? What exactly is "he"'s intention? This question had been in his mind for days. (To be continued.) )
