However, more than ten days, the autumn cold has gradually shown a bit of slaughter, the sparse green leaves in the forest are scorched and crisp, in addition, the mountains and rivers are quiet, time seems to be frozen, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the tranquility and leisure make people really withdraw from the world.

As Situ Yi's old wounds healed, Asouf began to heal his blindness. Qin Nanxi still silently stayed by his side, looking at his increasingly ruddy complexion, full of joy and secretly melancholy. A thousand thoughts could not be poured out, but the thoughts that were entwined like vines and grass were turned into exquisite and sweet dim sum soup and sent to his mouth. Situ Yi accepted all the orders, occasionally asked the name of the starting point, and whenever he heard a strange and novel dim sum, he would always mutter for a long time, Qin Nanxi only thought that he was just curious, and did not think deeply.

Early this morning, Situ Yi had just finished taking a medicinal bath, and the medicinal gas on his body had not dissipated, so he sat cross-legged behind the desk, carefully pinched a delicate and white snack, and said with a smile: "What is this dim sum made of today?" ”。

"Guess" Qin Nan was embarrassed, and wrote casually in his palm like a dragonfly.

Situ Yi smiled, raised his hand and threw it away, the dim sum was not in his mouth, and he tasted it carefully.

Qin Nanxi held his cheeks with one hand, tilted his head, stared at him contentedly and attentively, looking forward to his admiration as usual, but when he pursed his lips, his expression gradually changed, and the corners of his lips that were originally slightly curved trembled slightly, and a touch of bitterness rose faintly.

"Did you guess?" Slightly clenching her heartstrings, Qin Nanxi lowered her head and hurriedly wrote in his palm, she just thought it was the wrong dim sum.

Situ Yi was silent for a long time, then suddenly grabbed her fingertips that were still in the palm of his hand, turned to face her, and said slowly, gently: "Yucao." The mourning water is cold, and the heart is empty, but the love thread is tied together. I guess, right? ”

Qin Nanxi stared at the bitter smile on the corner of his lips, and always felt that the smile was strange and sad. He has always been very polite to "Yin Momo", but he is also distant. Almost never detoured with her, but today, he was unusual, not only accurately saying her thoughts of "breaking her body and heart, and breaking the thread", but also held her fingertips in the palm of his hand.

Qin Nanxi closed her eyes slightly, savoring the tenderness of her fingertips, his palm, dry and warm, her soft fingertips gently swept over the thick old calluses and old scars on his palms, and a trace of dense sourness surged in his heart in an instant.

Trying his best to hold back the tears in his eyes, and with a slight increase in strength, Qin Nanxi pulled out the fingertips that he was holding. She knew that even if there was one more moment, she would no longer have the strength and courage to pull her hand away.

The palm of his hand was stunned, and Situ Yi was also like a dream, and suddenly spread out his hand, completely letting go of the delicate gentleness. Hurriedly turned around, and said in a slightly trembling voice, distant and polite: "Miss Yin's heart is as fine as dust, and where she is meticulous and dedicated, Situ Yi is grateful!" ”

Looking at his stiff back, Qin Nanxi covered his mouth and nose, tried his best to suppress his low sobs, turned around and hurriedly ran out of the door, unable to dodge in the tears, only to see the white shadow flicker, and hit Liu Qi's arms headlong.

"What's going on?" Liu Qi held her up, clasped her arm tightly, and spoke in an anxious tone.

Qin Nanxi tried his best to withdraw his hand, retreated and saluted, turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Qi looked at her thin back with pity, full of distress and resentment, and turned around and hurried into the house. He was about to ask, but he saw that Situ Yi was already standing in front of him with his hands in his hands, and there was a faint sadness in his empty eyes, but between his cold eyebrows, there was a rare annoyance. Liu Qi's throat was astringent, and he swallowed the questioning words back to the bottom of his heart.

"Why?" Situ Yi said coldly.

"You mean the smuggler of lake salt?" Liu Qi's mind turned, and he looked at him left and right.

"Send her away!" Situ Yi ordered that in the seven or eight years he had been by his side, Liu Qi had never seen him order him.

"She insisted on staying" Liu Qi knew Situ Yi's temperament and knew that he had hidden it from him.

Situ Yi said slightly angrily: "If there is no Ruoqing's help, how can she stay!" ”

Liu Qi's heart was awe-inspiring, yes, why did he help her stay in the first place? How could he have failed his achievements because of his own selfish thoughts? It seems that the cold wind is passing through the wilderness, and the distress and resentment in the bottom of the heart are swept away in an instant like fallen leaves. He sighed and said deliberately: "What is rare in this world is the friendship that will never be abandoned, she is a girl, for you, she does not hesitate to be wronged and take risks." I'm distressed when I see it alone, but you are willing to do it. She begged me to let her stay with you and take care of you, saying that as soon as your eyes were good, she would leave. I couldn't see a girl crying and pitiful, so I relented for a while, so I responded to her. If you want to blame, blame me. ”

Situ Yi closed his eyes, his tightly wrinkled eyebrows were filled with endless sadness, he shook his head lightly, and said softly almost pleadingly: "She is innocent, don't pull her in." Send her away. Go now, it's good for me and for her. ”

Liu Qi looked at the sadness between Situ Yi's eyebrows, understood that the odds of winning were one more point, and sighed: "You are willing to let go of her, but she is reluctant to let go of you!" Why do you want to let an innocent girl suffer for these disputes among men? ”

Situ Yi bowed his head and was silent, his eyebrows becoming tighter and tighter.

Liu Qi knew Situ Yi's temperament very well, and saw his reluctance with his own eyes, and then retreated as a way forward: "That's it, if you really don't want her to stay by your side, stay up for a few more days, and when your eyes are better, you can send her away!" Didn't you also say that this girl is stubborn, if she doesn't have her own thoughts, no one can persuade her? The bell also needs to be tied to the bell, this marriage knot is tied by your own hands, naturally only you can untie it with your own hands. ”

Situ Yi's throat moved astringently, and he spoke for a long time: "Okay, since you promised her to wait until the day I recover from my injury, then let's go to that day." Just, don't tell her I already know. When Asouf left, he sent her away. ”

Liu Qi sneered and replied simply: "Okay." He guessed right, Situ Yi was born with a gentle and infatuated heart, he was reluctant, he would definitely indulge his heart, and he would definitely cherish this tenderness. The weakness of people's hearts is the reluctance and reluctance to endure in this heart-wrenching pain. Liu Qi knew the torment in it, so he didn't dare to think about it at this time, so he hurriedly changed the conversation.

"I made a decision on the matter of smuggling lake salt."

Situ Yi took a deep breath and turned back to his thoughts: "I already know, the secret camp has huge expenses, and Ruoqing bothered it, but this matter must be kept secret." ”

Liu Qi was slightly surprised: "I was originally self-reporting and pleading, I don't want you to know!" Sure enough, there is nothing in the entire northern Xinjiang that can hide from you! ”

Situ Yi smiled: "No one reported it, and I just guessed." Since I was imprisoned, the secret camp has no support from the emperor and the prince, and the huge expenses are huge, if it weren't for Ruoqing to find a way, how would you support it until now? In the clouds, the only thing that can make huge profits is lake salt. If Qing doesn't smuggle lake salt, will it be impossible to change silver out of thin air? ”

Liu Qiyu complained: "You are meticulous! ”

Situ Yi smiled heartily: "Why has Ruoqing been so stingy lately?" Seems to be dissatisfied with me? ”

Liu Qi smiled: "How dare you be dissatisfied!" It's just that the meticulous General Situ can guess what is happening in your northern camp now? ”

Situ Yijian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in solemn doubts: "What's the matter?" ”
