Chapter 37: XXXVII
thirty-seven
When Ye Changsheng fell down for the last time, he finally had to choose to give up. He was hungry, his buttocks hurt, his feet hurt, his hands hurt, and he didn't have any strength at all. There is not a single part of the body that is not crying out for pain.
Just as he endured the pain in his hands and silently wiped his tears, he was suddenly hit hard by something on his head, so strong that he even fell backwards and fell on the grass with the pain, and his eyes were black and dizzy from the pain.
He covered his head and hummed for a while before he could get up to see if he had been hit by something, and as soon as he raised his eyes to look over, he saw a big red fruit that looked delicious, and it quietly rolled down not far from him. He took it a little dazed, and looked up to see why the fruit had fallen on its own.
Then he saw a little monkey in the tree grinning at himself.
Ye Changsheng looked at the little monkey, then looked down at the fruit, and after thinking for a while, he thought that the monkey was going to give him the fruit, so he said to the monkey gratefully, "Are you going to give me food?" โ
The little monkey smiled at him again.
Ye Changsheng was very moved, "Thank you......" I didn't expect that even a monkey in this world would be so kind and would give him peaches to eat.
He wiped the fruit with his sleeve and wiped it, wanting to wipe the fruit clean before eating, the stinky problem of the noble young master was vividly manifested at this time, even if he was so hungry that he was dying, he still did not forget these rules.
The monkeys in the trees saw his strange movements, and they didn't like him, so they took out their own fruits and smashed them.
Ye Changsheng was lowering his head and wiping the fruit seriously, and he attacked before he could prevent it, and several bags were smashed on his head, and he couldn't understand why these monkeys suddenly hit him again, so he had to squat on the ground with his head in his hands to reduce the range of his attack.
These little monkeys in the mountains had never seen any human beings, and they were even more bored on weekdays, and when they saw this strange creature intruding into their territory, and they looked like they were very good bullies, so they bullied him vigorously, and kept picking fruits and throwing them over.
Ye Changsheng squatted there and was smashed by countless fruits, and it hurt terribly, and finally he couldn't help it, he got up and ran, dodging the fruits that kept attacking him. When the monkeys saw that he was about to run away, they chased after him with a lot of things in their arms, and chased after him while smashing and shouting, which looked really ferocious.
The chased ones ran far and wide, and the arrogant monkeys finally stopped chasing, because the front was not their territory. Ye Changsheng couldn't take a step anymore when he was tired, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, his face full of sweat.
And the group of monkeys was still laughing at him mercilessly not far away, and their voices were sharp and mean.
Unexpectedly, he thought that these kind monkeys were so fond of bullying people, Ye Changsheng thought with some frustration, one of his shoes also accidentally tripped and lost when he ran away, and then when he ran barefoot, he was scratched by those sharp pebbles and some sharp branches on the road, and he was bleeding from a kick, and he couldn't help curling up his toes in pain.
He didn't cry this time, but struggled to get up in silence, staggering out of the monkeys' territory with all the pain.
Could it be that Tianjia will never find himself? This forest is so big, he walked for almost a day and still didn't see the end, could it be that he died here alone all the time, and no one knew?
Thinking of these terrible things, Ye Changsheng walked with a limp, and his tears couldn't stop falling. Regarding death, he was actually mentally prepared, but if he really died miserably here, what would Daddy do?
He kept walking, until the end he really couldn't walk at all, Ye Changsheng simply squatted in the grass beside the road, the grass in the deep forest grew taller than people, if he was inside, outsiders couldn't see it at all.
Perhaps, no one will really find out about it.
Ye Changsheng thought a little desperately, and slowly closed his eyes.
โโโโโโ
Over there, Chu Liuxiang ran in the opposite direction of the carriage for a long time, and suddenly found a forest, although it may be just his illusion, but no matter how small the odds are, he has to hope to find it, in case Changsheng is really inside. Without hesitation, he rushed in, moving quickly through the woods, trying to find a trace of Changsheng.
Suddenly, something on the grass attracted his attention, Chu Liuxiang walked over and squatted down to pick it up, and it was actually a piece of fabric on Changsheng's clothes. Don't ask the reason, because he bought this dress, and he personally put it on Changsheng on the day of separation!
If you look at it this way, Changsheng is really somewhere in this forest!
Chu Liuxiang was sure of this, and his originally heavy and depressed mood instantly became lighter, he accelerated the speed of his search, he had to find someone before dark, otherwise it would be even more difficult to find someone at night, and it would be more dangerous to find someone a moment later, and he didn't know if there was any danger in this forest.
"Changsheng!" Chu Liuxiang let go of his voice and shuttled through the forest, shouting his name loudly while looking for it, hoping that Changsheng would be able to hear it.
Ye Changsheng was sleeping quietly in the grass with his eyes closed, and in a hazy way, he heard someone calling his name, suddenly opened his eyes and listened vigilantly with his ears pricked up for a while, and then recognized that it was Chu Liuxiang's voice, and suddenly trembled with excitement, and immediately responded with a trembling voice: "Chu, Brother Chu!" โ
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, I'm here!" He stood up and ran outside with a crying voice, "Changsheng is here!" โ
Chu Liuxiang naturally heard his response on the other side, so he immediately pulled out his legs and rushed back. It didn't take long to run and saw a small figure limping this way not far away, and he knew who it was at a glance, so he flew over and hugged the person without a moment's delay, "Changsheng!" โ
Suddenly surrounded by a familiar embrace, Ye Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and after making sure that he was not dreaming now, and this qiฤ was not an illusion, his nose was sore, and he finally cried,
"Wow...... Brother Chu, you are finally here, woo ......" Ye Changsheng lay softly in Chu Liuxiang's arms, crying a handful of snot and tears, he has indeed suffered a lot of grievances these days, and he really can't hold it anymore.
Chu Liuxiang hugged the person tightly, gently patted his back to comfort him, and his eyes were slightly hot, although he had only seen him for a few days, he felt that he had not hugged him for a long time.
What's more, if he hadn't run towards him just now, he wouldn't have recognized this dusty little mud ball with no clean place on his body as the little young master Changsheng he had been pampering all along, and then looking at the wolf bรจi who was crying like himself in his arms, he knew how much he had suffered to survive in this forest.
Chu Liuxiang was soft-hearted, reached out and gently touched his head, and coaxed him softly as before: "It's okay Changsheng, be good, Brother Chu is here, don't be afraid." โ
People are always hypocritical animals, when no one was around before, although Ye Changsheng would cry, but more often silently wiped his tears to hold back his sadness and fear, because he knew that it was useless to cry. But as soon as he saw the person who had always pampered him, he suddenly felt that he had something to rely on, and all the squeamish feelings that had been hidden broke out of the ground, making him cry aggrieved, as if he was the only one in the world who was the most wronged.
Chu Liuxiang was very distressed by his crying, looked up at the getting late, and said softly to Ye Changsheng, who was still crying: "Changsheng doesn't cry, it's getting dark, let's go out from here first, okay?" Brother Chu will take you away. โ
Ye Changsheng listened to his words, and replied to him with a hiccup while wiping his tears, "Okay...... Let's go out, I don't want to stay here. โ
So, Chu Liuxiang took off his robe and wrapped the person from head to toe for fear that he would be cold, and then picked him up horizontally, picked him up and flew up, and it only took half an hour to get out of the forest.
Ye Changsheng shrank in his arms, looked up at the forest that had trapped him for a long time, and retracted his gaze again into Chu Liuxiang's arms without hesitation. Feeling his temperature, thinking that he would never have to experience it again.
Chu Liuxiang's speed was much faster than most people imagined, and he didn't know if Changsheng was injured, so it was like the wind was blowing under his feet, and the surrounding scenery was rapidly falling backwards.
When it was dark, Chu Liuxiang really took him to complain in a very small inn.
"Shopkeeper, please boil us a bucket of hot water, the sooner the better." Chu Liuxiang threw a silver ingot to Xiao Er, and went upstairs to the room with the person in his arms.
Carefully put Ye Changsheng on the soft bed, Chu Liuxiang hurriedly pulled the quilt on one side over and covered him, for fear that he would catch a cold.
It seems that he hasn't been lying in bed for a long time, Ye Changsheng rubbed the soft quilt and pillow nostalgically, his eyes were full of joy. Chu Liuxiang noticed his eyes, and raised a gentle arc on the side of his mouth, "Are you still cold?" โ
"It's not cold, it's warm." Ye Changsheng squinted his eyes and said comfortably.
Chu Liuxiang chuckled, the shopkeeper knocked on the door, and really brought in a bucket of hot water, "Objectively rest assured, we have hot water here ready at all times, you can clean yourself now." โ
Chu Liuxiang nodded, "Please send us some dinner, the white porridge should be boiled with high-quality rice until it is soft, and then send some side dishes." โ
The shopkeeper should get down, and after bringing in the hot water, he retreated.
Chu Liuxiang first brought a basin of hot water to the window, then moistened it with a clean cloth towel, and then took Ye Changsheng out of the quilt and began to wipe his hands and face.
"It's like a little flower cat." Chu Liuxiang looked at him funny, and his movements were careful and gentle, for fear of hurting him. After removing the mask, Ye Changsheng's own face was revealed, but his face was full of scars, several large bags bulging on his forehead were bloodshot, and his cheeks were half swollen high.
Chu Liuxiang's heart twitched, and he wiped his cheeks little by little with a towel, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" โ
Being cared for and pampered by him like this, Ye Changsheng's eyes were a little hot, first nodded, and then shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." โ
As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was lying, Chu Liuxiang felt even more uncomfortable, and he blamed himself for being so hypocritical before, he had to drag so many days to find someone, if he had come earlier, Changsheng would definitely not suffer these crimes. He hasn't taken this child for a day or two, and he usually hasn't even suffered a bruise, but suddenly this body is full of injuries, and there will be no pain before there is a ghost.
Chu Liuxiang wiped his face clean, and then took out some ointment from his arms and gently rubbed it on his face, "Just apply some ointment, these injuries will be healed tomorrow." โ
"Okay......" Ye Changsheng sat there obediently and asked him to apply ointment to himself, this ointment was cool and comfortable to rub on his face, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes and snort a few times.
Chu Liuxiang carefully gave him good medicine, then turned around and began to undress him again, Ye Changsheng reflexively wanted to protect his clothes from moving.
"What are you shy, Brother Chu also gave you a bath." Chu Liuxiang scratched his nose, his face was full of spoiling, "It's okay, Brother Chu will give you medicine." โ
Ye Changsheng was appeased, obediently let go of his hand, and let Chu Liuxiang uncover his clothes layer by layer.
When the snow-white chest was revealed, Chu Liuxiang's expression froze.
He raised a good child, but he was away from him for a few days, and then he appeared in front of him with a bruise, all bruises on his face, and even some small and deeply cut wounds on his hands and feet.
And Ye Changsheng could guess what he was thinking when he looked at his expression, so he stretched out a pair of hands full of scars to hold Chu Liuxiang's, raised a small face and raised a comforting smile: "Brother Chu, it's okay, I really don't hurt." โ
Seeing that he was so well-behaved, Chu Liuxiang finally couldn't hold back, leaned down, and gently kissed Ye Changsheng's soft mouth.
