- The guard who lowered his head and asked raised his head when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head again, and a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes.

"It's not such a complicated issue, maybe I didn't order carefully enough, or maybe your comfortable days have been going on for a long time......," Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the East Corner Courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Chen Jiu followed him, not knowing what to say, or not saying anything. After a while, when she was about to reach the entrance of the East Corner Courtyard, she heard him murmur softly, "But...... Such a comfortable day will be only one day, and let you be at ease for another day......"

Vaguely hearing this, Chen Jiu finally couldn't help it, and asked softly, "Isn't there still two days left?" ”

 ≠wan≠shu≠ba，≈ans¤¤om; Lin Shan didn't even turn his head over, but only responded lightly: "It's a day in advance, it's just a trivial matter." ”

When Chen Jiu heard this, his steps suddenly accelerated, and his shadow flashed, almost stopping in front of Lin Shan. Lin Shan didn't pay attention and almost crashed into her.

"You ......" Lin Shan finally raised his gaze, his expression full of hesitation.

"Is it that if I don't come here today, I won't know about it?" Chen Jiu's gaze pierced into Lin Shan's eyes, this was the first time she had shown this kind of look to him, deep and faintly sharp, "Is it that after you leave this time, you and I will never see each other again in the future?" ”

After she finished saying these two words, she lowered her eyes again and murmured: "You said that you will not go back here, nor will you go back to Kyoto, and you will definitely not allow me to accompany you to western Sichuan, so where will you go in the future......" A drop of crystal sparkle slipped silently, leaving a wet mark on the face.

"I'm ......" Lin Shan hesitated again, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Only now did he realize that although he had not completely forgotten the shadow in his heart, he couldn't let go of the thin figure beside him...... Now his state of mind is not as decisive as before when dealing with some things that he would subconsciously avoid......

Is that good?

Lin Shan sighed and took out the hand towel he was carrying from his sleeve. Wipe the tears off your cheeks with aged wine.

Put away the hand towel. He said softly: "When you are with me, you are always more sad than happy, is it really worth it for you to do this?" ”

"In the early years, you drank heavily, had a hangover, and slept at night for her. And those habits that have been imperceptibly changed...... Have you ever wondered if it's worth it? Chen Jiu did not answer the rhetorical question. Maybe it's because he knows he's going to leave tomorrow. Realizing that if she didn't ask some things at this time, she might not have the opportunity to ask them again in the future, and she suddenly had the courage to ask them bluntly.

"I ......" Lin Shan's eyes became complicated. …… I didn't think about it. ”

Chen Jiu immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Lin Shan replied very seriously: "Because no one has ever asked me that." ”

But Chen Jiu has thought about it, is it worth it that she has loved him silently for so many years, and has been obsessively attached to him for so many years?

Many sisters around her have asked her this question, and others have asked her this question more than once, so she has asked herself this question more than once...... Is it worth it? She seemed to know, but she couldn't grasp the answer.

This kind of feeling, since the beginning, can not be put on the scale to weigh, and continues to this day, it is complex and heavy and priceless.

However, it has only been a moment of tenderness from Lin Shan's side, and Chen Jiu can't help but feel that the love she pays is as small as thin ice under the sun, so cheap.

——Everything is precious because there are buyers and cherished people, and the priceless love that is often humane is no exception.

It wasn't until Lin Shan asked this question in person that Chen Jiu seemed to have really obtained a definite answer.

If this is the result of years of dedication, it will undoubtedly make her heart bleed.

But even when the exact answer was in front of her, she became more and more reluctant to accept it. If she is destined not to get this relationship in this life, then she is willing to choose to weave a beautiful lie and anesthetize herself like this.

Faced with Lin Shan's answer that did not belong to her, Chen Jiu was silent for a long time, and then she turned around and silently walked in the direction of the exit of the residence.

It wasn't until she walked far away that Lin Shan seemed to realize something, and suddenly quickened her pace and chased after her.

"Wine ......"

Chen Jiu didn't look back, and still walked forward.

"Wine?"

The pace of aging continues.

"Wine?!"

Chenjiu's footsteps paused slightly, but he soon lifted it again, and his pace was faster than before. She had reached the door of her abode, and without hesitation stepped over the threshold.

However, at the moment when both of her feet stepped out, one of her hands hanging by her side was warmly held. She finally stopped, still not looking back or speaking, but her thin shoulders tensed slightly.

Lin Shan walked around to the opposite side of Chen Jiu, and saw that although she didn't turn around and left, she turned her face aside and refused to look at him.

"Where are you going?" Lin Shan asked.

"Go home." Chen Jiu only said two words, and then picked up the steps and left.

"Where are you going?" Lin Shan followed closely, as if he didn't understand what Chen Jiu had just said, and asked again.

"You're leaving, I won't bother you anymore." Chen Jiu lowered his head slightly, and continued to walk forward quickly, "I will go back to a place where you will never meet again, and there is nothing wrong with living alone......"

Lin Shan didn't speak again, he just silently followed Chen Jiu's side, not knowing that he would follow her all the way there.

Watching this scene, the two guards standing at the gate were dumbfounded.

How had they ever seen their own adults and the wine sisters in their residences who respected everyone in their residences like this...... Is this awkward?

……

The residence where Chen Jiu left, Lin Shan also followed; Chen Jiu returned to the inn, sat for a while and came out again, and Lin Shan followed up; Chen Jiu walked around the town twice in the sandy and sparse suburbs, and Lin Shan kept following behind......

The wine finally stopped. She stood on a dirt slope, and Lin Shan, who had not yet followed, stood a dozen paces away from the bottom of the dirt slope.

"Why are you following me?" After walking so far and going around so many circles, Chen Jiu was finally willing to raise his eyes to look at Lin Shan's eyes. Seeing that his face was red and his forehead was wet with sweat, she was not as worried as usual, but said a little irritably: "Don't follow me again." ”

Lin Shan stood at the foot of the dirt slope, looked at Chen Jiu with a slightly stunned expression, and did not speak. In fact, he didn't know what was wrong with him at this point. subconsciously chased after her. But when I caught up, I was a little speechless.

Just as the two of them were staring silently, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves on one side, mixed with the sound of a leather saddle slapping.

Lin Shanxian noticed it for a moment. Tilt your head to look. And he saw three riders with swords and bows on their backs.

These three are not dressed as soldiers. They had withered grass-like hair, tied haphazardly tied behind their heads, and beards that were also messy of stubble. Flooded Houdun's lip line. The coarse sand grinds out the skin, and there is not much vicissitudes, but the eyes under the eyebrows are more fierce.

The three riders still had ropes, knives, and other things hanging from their saddles, and it was not difficult to tell that they were probably rogues in the vicinity. The three riders were running behind them and following the five runners, carrying slightly rusty iron knives in their hands, and there was a fierce glint in their eyes.

A group of eight people is not weak.

Lin Shan looked back at Chen Jiu, who was standing condescendingly on the dirt slope, and looked at the look in her eyes, obviously judging the identity of the eight uninvited guests.

"Just stay there." Chen Jiu was about to walk down the dirt slope, but was stopped by Lin Shan.

The last time I left the town and walked so far, I didn't meet the nest of rogues that the townspeople often talk about, but I didn't expect to meet them today. Lin Shan felt strange in his heart, although he had no fear on his face, he had to be on guard.

In fact, the rogues will also pay attention to some rules and regulations when they commit crimes and loot, and if there is no news worth looting in advance, they will not be so popular. Three of the eight people rode horses, and it took about one-third of the manpower of a small village to move out of this group of belongings.

But looking at the behavior of this group of eight people, although they were fierce, they did not directly rush into the town with a whip, maybe there was something else for this trip.

Unsure in which direction the group of eight people would go, Lin Shan stood still the moment he found them. Blocking Chen Jiu's move to get closer, Lin Shan turned his gaze and looked at the people with a smooth expression, his perspective shifted slightly, and he stopped at the one with the most lazy expression among the five minions who ran forward.

If they were just passing by, if they really did something unusual, it was obvious that the minion with the most casual expression and the weakest kung fu would be the first to take down.

A group of rogues, either on horseback or running, approached quickly, and the three men on horseback, who were obviously the leaders, also took a closer look at Lin Shan. The three rogue leaders soon recognized that Lin Shan's dress style was obviously not local, but they did not stop for interrogation because of this chance encounter, but only slowed down their pace slightly, and "kicked and tapped" over, rolling up a thin dust on the ground.

Looking at the backs of the eight people walking away, Lin Shan's eyes showed a trace of doubt, fleeting, and then he looked sideways at Chen Jiu, who was squatting on the dirt slope with a defensive face, and said slowly: "They are gone, you come down." ”

Chen Jiu stood up, just took a step forward, suddenly seemed to remember something, retracted his steps, looked at the forest fir down the slope blankly, moved his lips, and stopped talking.

Lin Shan looked at her like this, and soon remembered the inexplicable love that was twisted between each other just now, he was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief. Seeing that Chen Jiu refused to move, he picked up his own steps and walked to her side.

This time, she didn't choose to leave.

"Wine." Lin Shan said softly, "I seem to understand something. ”

He said this very implicitly, but Chen Jiu's heart throbbed, and he vaguely heard what he understood.

However, just as Lin Shan was about to finish the second half of the sentence, something happened abruptly......

Sou!

I don't know when, I don't know from what angle, suddenly an arrow shot out!

The somewhat twisted arrows of the wooden pole flew with a hint of rust, perhaps because the construction was not very good enough, and because the shooting distance was too long, so it was slightly offset when hitting the intended target...... The iron head of the arrow almost scraped the scalp of the old wine, cut the ribbon of her hair, and pried away the silver hairpin of her sideburns......

A green silk was torn apart, and Chen Jiu was stunned. Before she could come back to her senses, or before her long hair lifted by the breeze slowly fell, her whole body was pushed down by a force and rolled down the low slope.

When her body rolled to the ground and stopped, the pain caused Chen Jiu to come back to her senses, and then she heard a whistling sound overhead, and another arrow flew over, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the arrow was pierced into the sand a few feet away.

If you don't lie down in time, I wonder if you can avoid the life-killing arrow later?

After dodging the second arrow, Lin Shan quickly pulled her up from the ground. Drag it behind your back. Then he turned his head to look in the direction the arrow was coming from.

Although both of them were in pain, this was not the time to rest or ask each other questions. If you just lie on the ground and move slowly, it may be difficult to dodge the next third and fourth arrows.

The eight rogues who just passed. There were two people back. It's the second of the five minions that walked forward.

Look at the sinister smile on the faces of these two minions. You don't have to ask to know what they want to do. But the situation in front of him was actually expected by Lin Shan when he watched the eight people pass by just now, but the two cold arrows were too insidious, and the surprise on Lin Shan's face only paused for a moment. Calm was restored.

Lin Shan didn't look at the old wine behind him, but said slowly: "If there is an arrow coming, you just have to protect yourself." ”

Standing a few feet away from each other, the two rogues were armed with bows and arrows, and the angles were so wide that it was impossible to guess exactly which angle their arrows would be aimed at. Chen Jiu would only give one or two close-quarters defensive punches and kicks, and Lin Shan would not be relieved to let her stay too far away.

Chen Jiu, who was walking on the side behind him, only responded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more. Although she couldn't tell what the basis for such obedience to him was, in front of the most advanced long-range weapons in the world, she only felt that his back was safe, and she would not question it at all, he would say this, and he must have already had a countermeasure.

Lin Shan led Chen Jiu and slowly approached the two rogues with half-matched bows and arrows, and said slowly: "What are these two heroes? Did the two of us offend the two heroes? ”

The words seemed to be respectful, but the tone in the words was a little cold.

The two rogues were accustomed to bullying the weak and bullying the less, and they thought that the two arrows just now must have frightened the two people who were whispering on the dirt slope, and then the man who seemed to have some symptoms of deficiency ran away at the moment, leaving the woman two steps behind, waiting for the two brothers to come forward and pick up the leak......

Unexpectedly, this man was not only not afraid, but also walked over slowly!

This development of events is too different from what I expected, right?

The two rogues couldn't help but be stunned.

But after all, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, they have a lot of experience, and they are not too slow to react when they encounter an accident, and the two of them quickly set up their bows and arrows again. When the distance is not closer, the role of these two tools in the hand is still very strong.

When Chen Jiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "Be careful......"

Lin Shan didn't seem to pay attention, but suddenly quickened his pace and strode towards the two minions whose bowstrings were half-opened!

The two rogues were slightly stunned again......

Only this moment, Lin Shan has taken five steps forward!

The two rogues finally came back to their senses, and their eyes were full of fierceness......

Lin Shan's three more steps!

The fingers of the two rogues tightened the bowstring, the green tendons on the back of the hand protruded slightly, the bow bent and the moon was full, and the two arrows were fired at the same time!

Lin Shan did not relax his gaze at the hands of the two rogues on the bowstring on the opposite side as he hurriedly swept forward, only to see that their fingers holding the arrow bundle arched slightly, and his body had also deviated slightly to the right.

The arrow to the left side of his chest and heart flew past his shoulder, and he slashed at a piece of blood-stained clothing with great mensity, but he didn't care at all, and only devoted all his energy to his right hand. The wide-sleeved sleeve rolled up into the sleeve with another arrow shot at his right chest.

The sound of "hissing" clothes tearing was heard, and the cloth was no better than leather armor, and under the cutting force of sharp arrows, the rolled up sleeves were cut into several strips of cloth......

But it didn't matter, because Lin Shan managed to sweep an arrow away from his sleeve.

An inferior arrow is just an arrow in the hands of the rogue, and it needs to be shot with a bowstring. But if such an arrow with a slightly curved rod bone falls into Lin Shan's hands, it will be like a soul hook in Bai Wuchang's hand!

Two indescribable voices came from the other side.

Chen Jiu, who was still two feet away from Lin Shan's back, frowned, she could hear what the voice meant.

From the moment Lin Shan grabbed the arrow, Chen Jiu knew that he had murderous intent. The results can be imagined.

She hadn't seen him kill in years, and in recent years, the only sight she had seen was him wounded, bleeding, sick. Perhaps the fact that he is killing these two rogues with ill intentions with great speed can prove from a certain angle that he has indeed regained his former state of six or seven points. But despite this, she was not used to hearing the dull sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh.

Two bows flew out.

Two men fell straight to the ground.

There were two deep bloody cuts on the dirty necks of these two rogues, and the severance of the white trachea was faintly visible.

For those who intend to kill, Lin Shan has always been extremely ruthless, and he feels that there is no chance to relax. The large blood vessels and trachea in the necks of the two rogues were cut together, and the speed of death was also extremely fast.

Lin Shan didn't want to get his hands on these rogues, and he had already let them go once before. But they had to find it themselves. And the intention is obviously towards the old wine, so don't blame him for being ruthless.

Seeing that the threat was lifted, Chen Jiu quickly approached, and soon found the arrow wound on Lin Shan's left shoulder. Said anxiously: "It hurt my shoulder." Did you bring any medicine? ”

Lin Shan only glanced at his shoulder injury. It didn't feel too deep, but the blood was overflowing so much that in a few moments it had soaked half of the clothes on his shoulders. He was already feeling a little thirsty, too. Despite this, he didn't care, and only said to Chen Jiu Wenyan: "Civilian clothes come out, and the sleeves are empty." This place should not be stayed for long, and you must go back quickly. ”

Only two of the eight rogues came, and although they had all been killed by his own men, Lin Shan was not sure if the other six would return. He remembered that the group of eight people just now not only brought two bows and arrows, but also that the other party had three horses to travel on their behalf, if he killed a horse pistol at this time, even if he could split into two, he would not be able to protect Chen Jiu.

Besides, he had a crack in his shoulder, and the injury seemed a little strange, and he had to go back to deal with it as much as possible, so as not to delay the injury.

The two were just about to return hand in hand, when suddenly there was a burst of "step, step, step!" The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the other six rogues had returned!

Before the six of them could get closer, they had already seen two accomplices lying on the ground, as well as two large pools of blood, and even a fool could know what this meeting meant.

The first three leaders of the rogue who were riding on horseback were already furious, and one of them opened his eyes and said angrily: "Sure enough, you killed a few of them!" I want your lives to pay for it! ”

Lin Shan noticed the word "several" mentioned in the words of the rogue leader, and his calm face did not change at all, but a trace of doubt floated in his heart. At the same time, he pulled Chen Jiu behind his back again with his backhand, and the hand holding the blood-stained arrow tightened.

Seeing that Lin Shan didn't respond, the rogue people felt more and more that he was acquiescing, and another rogue leader burst out: "Die!" Pulling the reins, he swung his knife and kicked the stirrups and rushed over.

Lin Shan only had an inferior arrow with an iron head and wooden in his hand, which was the opponent of this sword-wielding rider with extremely strong momentum.

But he was still calm, and his spirit was highly condensed.

His eyes were like thorns, he fixed his eyes on a certain point of the horse's front legs, clenched the arrow in his hand, and grasped the rhythm of the galloping horse, about to swing down......

At this moment, the sound of arrows suddenly came from overhead. The sound quality was slightly sharp, but in the opposite direction, and several arrows were actually fired at the Liukou's side.

"Phew!"

"Poof!"

It was the dull sound of a sharp weapon piercing deep into the flesh, except for the leader of the rogue who rushed towards Lin Shan, who was already very close, and the rest of the five rogue who were still three feet away were either dismounted by the strong energy carried by the arrows, and they were not dead or disabled, or they were directly nailed to the ground, twisted twice, and their anger gradually dispersed.

Although the leader of the rogue who rushed to Lin Shan's horse avoided the arrow, the result was not optimistic.

Lin Shan seemed to stumble for a moment, but in fact, he broke a hamstring in the front leg of the rogue leader's mount at an extremely dangerous angle. However, the horse's leg bones were as hard as stone, and with a very fast forward momentum, the only weapon in his hand was discounted at the touch of a single touch, the wooden arrow.

One of the galloping horse's front legs was demobilized, and the horse's body was crooked, and it knelt forward, causing the rogue leader on the horse's back to fall out. The big knife that slashed at Lin Shan's neck was also deflected, cutting off only a strand of his hair.

At this scene, Chen Jiu's heart was beating wildly, and cold sweat was dripping on his back.

If it weren't for the sudden turn of the situation, the next moment she might not care about Lin Shan's advice, and she would have stepped forward desperately to block the knife for him!

Lin Shan's guards arrived in time, and the two crossbows fired. "Boom" solved five people in a moment, and the remaining rogue leader who fell off the horse was a matter of making up for it.

It was Jiang Chao and two attendants who arrived in time. When he got closer, Jiang Chao also noticed the wound on Lin Shan's shoulder, and hurriedly took out the gold sore medicine he carried with him and applied it to bandage it.

Lin Shan cast his gaze far away, and shouted at the two attendants who were cleaning up the mess: "Leave two alive, and kill all the others, including the horses." ”

The old horse knows the way, in order to avoid future troubles, this horse can not stay.

Although horses are worth a lot of money in this deserted place, Lin Shan's party will leave tomorrow. It is useless to keep it.

As for why there are two alive mouths. It is to facilitate the comparison of confessions.

……

Although Lin Shan's shoulder injury was treated in a timely manner, on the way back to his residence, Jiang Chao had already seen that this was not a deep wound. The rate of blood loss is frighteningly fast.

Wait until you return to your residence. The blood on Lin Shan's face had faded. He was so pale that he was worried, and his eyes were full of fatigue.

Lin Shan changed into loose clothes and sat in a recliner. The former imperial physician Wu Ze re-cleaned his wounds, and after bandaging them, he saw that he had fallen asleep with his head tilted.

Wu Ze sighed softly, gave Chen Jiu and Jiang Chao in the house a look, and led the two out of the house to the small courtyard outside.

Wu Ze touched the sparse few strands of beard on his chin, looked at Jiang Chao and asked, "Do you see it?" ”

Jiang Chao didn't speak, just nodded, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"I can't say much about it." Wu Xue lowered his hand and touched his beard, thought about it for a while, and then said: "The situation that the old pharmacist said is gradually being fulfilled, although it is worrying, but we are helpless. Tomorrow you will go together, and you will have to be more cautious along the way. ”

Jiang Chao's mood was a little heavy, but he still just nodded and didn't speak.

Wu Ze lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then he reached out and pulled out a cloth bag in his arms. Looking at the style of this cloth bag, there is a long strap at the opening, which has been sewn in several layers, strong but also a little stiff. This cloth bag, which has a simple appearance and some slight damage at the corners, was actually hung around his neck by Wu Ze as a gem pendant and hidden in the inside of his clothes, which seemed to be quite precious.

Wu Xue took out a small bottle from the cloth bag, handed it to Jiang Chao, and then said, "This is a blood bulwark, a high-coagulant blood medicine refined with poison. Originally, I didn't plan to come up with something like this, but I don't know what will happen in the future, so I'll give it to you after thinking about it. Remember, this can only be used to save your life, and you don't have to use it as in today's situation. ”

Poison is a poison that seals the throat at the entrance, so is the blood poison a medicine?

Jiang Chao hesitated slightly, knowing that Wu Xue also had good intentions, and finally reached out to take the small bottle, but his fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he hesitated and asked, "What harm will be if you use this medicine?" ”

"Poison." Wu Ze sighed with emotion, "Taking one pill will immediately paralyze the blood of the whole body, just like the result of drinking a donkey to quench your thirst." However, to drain a person's blood, it only takes about a moment to exhaust the qi and blood, and there is no way to return to heaven, but if the bleeding is stopped at the cost of poisoning, and the medicine is used afterwards to hang his life, he can always survive for an extra day or two, and there will be an extra chance of rescue for one or two days. ”

Jiang Chao's eyes widened slightly, and he asked again, "Then who can cure this poison?" Old pharmacist? ”

"Maybe so." Wu Xue said softly, "This medicine was actually given to me by him, and he seemed a little reluctant at the time, I don't know if it was because this medicine was too precious, or if he had something unbearable." ”

Chen Jiu, who had been standing aside and had not interjected, finally couldn't help but say at this time: "With such a powerful medicine, how dare the old pharmacist ......?"

She was only halfway through her sentence before she could go on.

Although pharmacist Liao Shi has always been heavy-handed in medicine, he has not missed a single one of his actions over the years. If you deny the methods of this medicine ghost, Lin Shan would have died three years ago.

Jiang Chao pondered for a moment and then said, "Since this is the case, it seems that there is no difference between using it and not using it, unless the old pharmacist can accompany Master Lin like a shadow." But how is this possible, the old pharmacist is so wandering. ”

Wu Xue sighed and said, "This may be the reason why the old medicine master is reluctant to hand over this bottle of medicine to you personally, he is worried that if he tells the usage of this medicine, you will detain him." ”

The reason why the pharmacist Liao Shi returned to the Medicine Valley was related to the strange family disease that the Yan family had been entangled with for four generations, so the matter was covered up very strictly. Unfortunately, among the three people present, the other two knew that only Wu Xue was still hidden.

But then again, Wu Xue really didn't need to know about it.

Chen Jiu and Jiang Chao knew about the Yan family's strange illness. So I forgave Liao Shi for playing a little trick in order to get out as much as possible. Yan Xingzhi's illness really can't be delayed, Lin Shan's side, if he pays more attention to it, it shouldn't be a big deal.

The bottle of blood left by Liao Shi may not come in handy at all.

The three people in the courtyard were silent for a while, and at this moment, the voice of Lin Shan's voice came from inside the house:

"Jiang Chao, come in."

At this time, the sky is shining outside, and if it is in normal times, it may be after lunch. The hour when man is in a state of laziness. But after all, it doesn't mean that the middle of the night is the right time to sleep. After taking a nap, I heard the sparse sound of conversation outside, and Lin Shan, who was sitting on a recliner, naturally woke up.

Sitting up straight from the recliner, Lin Shan looked at Jiang Chao, who had just entered the house. said: "Have those two rogues been tried? ”

Jiang Chao bowed slightly and replied, "Under trial." Shan Liang judged that minions. The priest examined the leader of the rogue and separated them in two places. ”

Lin Shan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Hurry up." It would be best if this matter could be resolved today. If the trial can't be brought out, and we can't delay our affairs, we can only kill those two rogues, so we might as well use a heavy sentence. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go and pass the word." Jiang Chao responded, glanced sideways at Chen Jiu, and then left.

Wu Ze also realized that there was a certain problem in the house, so he only said "go to the back kitchen to boil medicine", and followed Jiang Chao with interest.

Now, there were only two people left in the room.

The two people who were still squeezing on the love just now.

For more than ten years, two people who have been clutched, intermittent, and unsympathetic.

Chen Jiu lowered his head slightly, wrung his sleeves, only glanced at Lin Shan a few times, and said in a suppressed voice: "I'll go and cook you a bowl of soup." Then he was ready to leave.

"Wine." Lin Shan stopped her without hesitation, "I don't have the appetite to eat now, can you talk to me?" ”

Chen Jiu's heart moved somewhere, but on the surface he was still calm, and he only said lightly: "What to say?" ”

Lin Shan didn't answer, but suddenly sighed and said, "It seems that you are disgusted with me." ”

With that, he relaxed his shoulders and sat back in his chair. Maybe he didn't pay attention to his posture, and the shoulder injury hit the chair back a little harder, causing him to frown slightly, but he quickly let go.

When Chen Jiu saw this scene, his heart was also tugging, and he couldn't help but approach him, dragged a stool to sit beside him, took out a handkerchief and wiped the slight cold sweat on his forehead for him.

Observing the tired look on the face of the man in front of him at a very close distance, Chen Jiu knew that things had come to this point, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"And what do you want to say?" Chen Jiu repeated the question again, but his tone was noticeably more soothing than before.

"Ever since I chased you to the dirt slope, I've been thinking about a question." The smile on Lin Shan's face was unconsciously mixed with a hint of apology, and his words paused slightly, and then he continued: "I have mistaken you for so many years, I am really a complete villain. ”

Chen Jiu's eyes looked straight at Lin Shan, and there was confusion in Qing Shui's eyes. was silent for only a moment, she no longer chose to avoid, nor did she pay any attention to tactfulness, and said bluntly: "I have also reached an age where I can't wait any longer, since you don't like it, no matter how much I wander, it will only be a burden to you." ”

"I like it."

Lin Shan suddenly sat up straight again, and in this way, the distance between him and Chen Jiu was even closer.

Feeling his breathing suddenly ripple, Chen Jiu's heartbeat was half a beat faster.

"I just...... I found it too late...... Lin Shan took one of Chen Jiu's hands, and slowly said, "...... Didn't I find out until now, I like you, isn't it too late? ”

"Huh......?" Chen Jiu was stunned, and after a long time, she fully understood the meaning of his words, and was sure that it was not a dream, and her eyes gradually appeared stupid: "It's late...... But it's not too late......"

"That's my luck." The smile in Lin Shan's eyes widened, and the hand holding Chen Jiu tightened, he was really happy in his heart.

Chen Jiu looked at the warm smile on his face, but he felt a little coolness in his hands. Thinking of the words that Wu Ze said in the outer courtyard just now, the joy he finally got was quickly suppressed by a vague but lingering worry.

Seems...... Just because you get it doesn't mean you can always have it.

"Why didn't you say it until now?" Chen Jiu's palm flipped over, and he picked up one of Lin Shan's hands with both hands, and wrapped it tightly, "You didn't say until you left, are you too cruel to me?" ”

"Yes," Lin Shan's gaze lowered slightly, "I have too many places to be sorry for you......" he slowly raised his gaze again, "...... It wasn't until now that I came to my senses; To this day, are you still willing to accept the enlightenment of me, a kind-hearted person? ”

"You really ......," Chen Jiu's long eyelashes twitched slightly.

"Really, like you." Lin Shan withdrew his hand from Chen Jiu's hands, held her wrist with his backhand, and pulled her from the stool with a slight force, and sat on the recliner with him.
