Chapter 6 It seems to be an old man
Xiao Liu's physique is very specific, and the wound heals much faster than ordinary people. Jing left a lot of good medicine, jade mountain chalcedony, and the streamer of the crystal refining of the ruins flew...... There are all the precious medicines in the Great Wilderness, and Xiao Liu's injuries recover quickly.
Xiao Liu never spared anything with things, and he could pour out the whole bottle of 10,000-year-old chalcedony to soak his hands, but he only refused to use painkillers, and shouted and jumped up and down in pain every day. Xiang Liu only looked at it coldly at first, but then he was really annoyed by his quarrel, and ridiculed: "I really sympathize with the people who tortured you, they gave you the torture of corpse maggots and bone devouring, and you gave them the torture of magic sound piercing the brain." ”
Xiao Liu looked at him dissatisfied, "I really regret giving the Gu worm to Xuan." ”
Xiang Liu sneered, "Even if you raise a Gu, you should raise a vicious one, if you raise this Gu, you must first hurt yourself if you hurt the enemy." Fortunately, you planted it for Xuan, planted it for him, and it can still work. If you plant it for me, I am a nine-headed body, and I won't react much to you to death. ”
Xiao Liu felt that talking to Xiang Liu was just looking for anger, and he didn't want to pay attention to Xiang Liu anymore, so he ran around in the forest with his hands raised, screaming a
Xiang Liu really couldn't listen to it, so he simply planned the white eagle and hid in the clouds.
As the days passed, the pain became smaller and smaller, and Xiao Liu's hands gradually recovered.
In the early hours of the morning, when Xiao Liu was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation in his body. At first, he didn't understand, but after thinking for a while, he realized that this was the message that the Gu worm gave him.
Xiaoliu hurriedly got up and rushed out of the house, "Xiangliu, Xuan ......"
"I know."
There were more than a dozen masked people on the cliff, and the people and mounts were all murderous and ready to fight, obviously they already knew that Xuan was approaching. And looking at their formation, there will definitely be no fewer people brought by Xuan.
Xiang Liu said to Xiao Liu: "Xuan is menacing, I just want to kill him, tonight is a battle of life and death." You find a place to hide. Because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see Xiang Liu's expression clearly, only a pair of eyes were like ice and snow condensed, indifferent without a trace of temperature.
Xiao Liu didn't dare to talk nonsense, looked around, burrowed into the woods, and hid under a rock.
It didn't take long for Xiao Liu to see Xuan leading a group of people and coming in a mighty way.
More than thirty mounts of all kinds, with outstretched wings spread across the sky. Xiao Liu raised his head and looked at him in shock, who is Xuan? How can you have such a powerful power?
High in the air, fierce battles arose.
Compared with Xiangliu, in terms of numbers, it is obvious that Xuan has an absolute advantage.
But Xiangliu's men survive in the shadow of death day by day, they have a tacit understanding of blood accumulation, and they are even more fierce at all costs, and the two sides are evenly matched.
With a loud bang, a golden fireball struck a man, and even the mount was reduced to ashes. Moments later, another was slashed in half by a massive ice sword, and his mount screamed in grief. The two men whizzed over the treetops on their mounts, soaring into the air as they fought. Xiao Liu couldn't see who it was, only heard a terrible whistling. An object fell from a high altitude, fell on a stone, and cracked into several petals. Xiao Liu picked it up, and it was a blood-stained mask.
Xiao Liu couldn't hide anymore, so he rushed out and quickly climbed the tallest tree.
The sky was filled with war, the light changed, and the black smoke was bursting, but the figure of Xiangliu was not difficult to find. He was dressed in white with long hair, wearing a silver-white mask, driven by a white eagle, like a snowflake, whirling and flying in the nine heavens, every seemingly beautiful dance, but it was a cold and merciless killing.
Four people occupied the four corners and besieged him, one of them was Xuan, and the other three were all first-class masters of spiritual power.
Xiang Liu is all about fighting for his life, only attacking and not defending.
The weapon he used was a crescent-like scimitar, crystal clear, like frost condensation, and as his figure fluttered, the scimitar brought out a white light, like a frost flower flying in the sky.
Xiang Liu ignored his back, and hurried forward, a dazzling white light flashed, and a human head flew up and fell, and Xiang Liu was pierced by an ice blade on his back, and he saw blood.
The ice blade rolled overwhelmingly towards him, Xiang Liu didn't hide at all, drove the white eagle, stepped forward against the ice blade, waved his hand and chopped down, the crystal knife bent, swirled, the frost flowers flew, and a person with a mount was crushed, but Xiang Liu was also injured, leaving blood from the corner of his lip.
Leaves were flying in all directions, forming a wood spirit killing array, Xiang Liu was not impatient to break the formation at all, and rushed directly towards the person who set up the formation, fighting with spiritual power to be injured, and killed him.
Finally able to go one-on-one, Xiang Liu chased after Xuan, but he was already injured, and most of his spiritual power was consumed, but Xuan was uninjured and full of spiritual power.
Xuan's left hand wood spirit long whip, right hand Jin spirit short sword, can actually drive two kinds of spiritual power, the whip is like a snake, rolling towards Xiangliu, the sword is like a tiger, opening its bloody mouth, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Little Six shouted: "Xiangliu, left hand." ”
Xiao Liu slammed his left hand the trunk of the tree, and with the pain in his heart, Xuan's move was biased.
"Right hand."
Xiao Liu slammed his right hand into the trunk of the tree with all his might, and Xuan's weapon almost fell.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Xiang Liu actually laughed. Xuan's eyes flashed fiercely, and the long whip flew and hit Xiao Liu. Xiao Liuyi shrank his head and slid down the trunk of the tree. Fortunately, the forest was dense and the mount could not enter, so Xuan could not come after him.
Xiang Liu ordered: "Left leg, right hand." ”
Xiao Liu cursed in his heart, but he had to be ruthless, and hit his left leg with a barbed wooden stick while hitting a raised stone with his right hand.
Xiang Liu's spiritual power skyrocketed, threw out the scimitar, sealed Xuan's retreat, and his body flew up like a big peng, pounced on Xuan, obviously wanting to kill Xuan in one fell swoop.
In a hurry, he rolled off his mount. Under the front and back attacks of Xiang Liu, the mount shattered into blood foam, but it saved his life.
Xuan fell from a high altitude and slammed into a tree, knocking down a large tree. He was badly wounded, covered in blood, but he did not dare to stop, and immediately jumped to his feet, staggering and running, shouting and calling for his attendants.
In the mountains and forests, the trees are dense, and it is impossible for the mount to fly in, and the white eagle swept over the woods for a moment, leaped down, fell into the forest, and chased Xuan.
Xiao Liu was like an ape, leaping from one tree to another, and chased after him unhurriedly, suddenly, the corner of his eye swept over a white thing, like an animal's tail, Xiao Liu's brain had not yet reacted, but his body stopped.
He leaped over and picked up something white that hung from a branch, a fluffy white fox tail.
Xiao Liu's whole person was stupid, the corners of his lips were curled like crescent moons, laughing, but there were tears shining in his eyes, and he was about to fall sadly.
Suddenly, his face changed drastically, and he went crazy to chase after Liu Hexuan.
Xuan was running, and Xiang Liu flashed out from among the vines like a ghost, and his hand turned into a sharp claw, like a five-fingered sword, stabbing at Xuan as fast as lightning. Xuan turned around and back, and the Wood Spirit Long Whip shattered into powder, but it didn't block the Five-Fingered Sword in the slightest.
Xiang Liu's demon pupils shot out red light, Xuan's body seemed to be squeezed by the mountains, unable to move, and there was no way to dodge, but he didn't want to close his eyes, if he wanted to die, he wanted to see clearly how he died.
A figure rushed into Xuan's arms like a meteor, blocking Xiangliu's thunderous blow for him.
"Ahh
Xuan felt the same way, and the pain pierced his heart, but after all, he was only in pain, and he would not be hurt. Xuan looked at Xiao Liu in shock, not understanding why Xiao Liu sacrificed his life to save him.
Xiao Liu pushed him away hard, "Run!" ”
Xiangliu refused to let Xuan escape and killed again. Xiao Liu turned around, and at the expense of being injured again, tightly hugged Xiang Liu's hand, which had been transformed into a sharp claw, to prevent him from killing Xuan.
Xuan's attendants arrived and helped Xuan flee quickly. Xuan turned his head as he ran, looking at Xiao Liu in confusion.
Xiang Liu saw that he was done, but he was ruined by Xiao Liu, he couldn't help but be furious, and kicked Xiao Liu's leg, Xiao Liu fell softly, but he still used all his strength to hold Xiang Liu's foot desperately.
Xuan was taken to his mount by his attendant and galloped through the clouds.
He leaned against his attendant, biting his lip tightly and enduring the pain.
There was pain in the chest and abdomen, pain in the arms, and severe pain all over the body, as if the whole person was going to fall apart. But he knew that he would not fall apart, because these pains did not belong to him, but to Xiao Liu.
Xuan looked blankly at the tumbling sea of clouds, why, why? Xiaoliu first wanted to help Xiangliu kill him, but at the last moment, he didn't hesitate to die to save him. He ordered torture to be used against Xiao Liu, it was normal for Xiao Liu to hate him and want to kill him, why would he save him?
Sang-ryu's anger is like a sea of rage, tumbling and devouring everything.
Xiaoliu knew that Xiang Liu was going to kill him, but he didn't feel a trace of fear.
The scarlet blood made her see the fiery phoenix flower. Under the phoenix tree, there is a swing frame built for her, she stands on the swing frame, facing the falling phoenix petals, flying high, laughter sprinkled all over the world. The elder brother stood under the phoenix tree, looked up at her with a smile, and when she fell, he sent her out with all his might. The swing frame flies, falls, flies, falls......
Xiang Liu's claws grabbed Xiao Liu's neck, but Xiao Liu opened his big eyes and smiled sweetly at him, like a flower blooming slowly in the spring breeze.
The slender neck was in his hand, and with a slight pinch, the trouble would disappear.
Xiao Liu smiled and sighed softly, as if infinitely satisfied, his head hung heavily, and his eyes slowly closed.
Xiang Liu abruptly withdrew his hand, lifted Xiao Liu, and took him away.
When Xiao Liu opened his eyes, he was in a cave, and the whole person was immersed in a small pool.
There are jade mountain chalcedony in the pool, Guixu crystal, Tanggu water, Fusang leaves and other messy things. If it was someone else, under a serious injury, was soaked in so many messy drugs, regardless of the nature of the medicine and the quantity, it is estimated that he would have died if he did not die. But Xiaoliu's physique is special, and messy things are beneficial to the body.
It is estimated that there is also a pain-relieving elixir in it, so Xiao Liu only feels that his body is weak and does not feel pain
Not far from the pool, Xiang Liu sat cross-legged on a water jade couch, and the anger between his eyebrows gathered like a mountain, which seemed to be pouring down at any time.
Xiao Liu didn't dare to move, let alone dare to speak, and quietly closed his eyes.
"Why save him?" Sang-ryu's voice was cold, with suppressed anger.
Xiao Liu's mind was racing, and he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and said clearly: "Because I know who he is." ”
Xiang Liu's brow moved slightly.
Xiaoliu said: "A few days ago, I was wondering, why are you so idle these days, and you can look at me every day. Later, I realized that you were not taking care of me, but waiting for Xuan. Jing asked me to hide in the mountains because I knew that you had been fighting with Xuanyuan for hundreds of years, and Xuanyuan had no way to track you down. As long as you want to, Xuan can't find me at all. However, you have already guessed his identity, and you know that he will definitely not let me go, so you have set a trap with me to kill him. ”
"I use you as a trap, so what?"
"It wasn't like that, he wanted to kill me anyway. However, I know that his name is 颛顼, and he is the prince of Xuanyuan and the eldest grandson of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor! If I help you kill him, the Yellow Emperor will take revenge with all the power of the world, and I will never have peace in this life! There is no place for me in the Great Wilderness! ”
Xiang Liu opened his eyes and stared at Xiao Liu, "I thought you were a little timid. ”
Xiaoliu said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you." You dare to go against the Yellow Emperor, but I don't dare. The wrath of the emperor, the blood flows thousands of miles! I can't afford it! ”
"How did you find out Xuan's identity?"
"When you went to hunt him down, one of his attendants was in a hurry, and he said that he would save the prince quickly, although it was a little vague, but there should not be many people who you had to kill even if you were seriously injured in the Great Wilderness, just think about it a little."
Xiang Liu stood up and walked directly into the pool, pinching Xiao Liu's neck with his hand and slamming his head on the pool wall, "You also know that I want to kill him at the expense of serious injuries!" ”
Xiaoliu was powerless to resist, so he simply retreated, "I ruined your big thing, if you want to kill me, kill it!" He meekly closed his eyes, revealing a white neck.
Xiangliu sneered, "Kill you? Too cheap for you! He lowered his head, bit Xiao Liu's neck fiercely, and sucked the blood hard, venting the killing intent in his heart.
Xiao Liutou leaned back and rested on the edge of the pool, glad that he was still useful to Xiangliu. Xiang Liu is a nine-headed body with a peculiar physique, and it is difficult to find a healing medicine that suits him, but Xiao Liu, who has a peculiar physique, is precisely his best elixir.
Xuan, who was lying on the couch recuperating from his injuries, suddenly sat up and reached out to touch his neck.
He's alive!
At first, it was a sharp pain, like sharp teeth piercing into the flesh, but gradually, the pain became strange, the pain was mixed with a hint of numbness, and there was a slight pleasure in the pain, as if someone was sucking, licking and kissing.
Xuan felt a little dry and suddenly became very angry. With such a serious injury, is that kid crazy, what the hell is he doing?
Xiang Liu raised his head and stared at Xiao Liu, the corners of his lips were stained with blood, his eyes darkened, and he gasped slightly.
Xiao Liu has always looked like a scoundrel who is picked by him, and suddenly, he shrunk, his body slid down, and his hands subconsciously wanted to block his chest, but he immediately controlled his strange appearance, and still sat with a big grin.
Xiang Liu's hand slowly slid down from his neck, and his fingers stroked his collarbone for a while, and then stroked it down.
Xiao Liu grabbed his hand violently, laughed and said, "I'm a man, even if you are so manly, you should find a handsome one." ”
"You're a man?" The corners of Xiang Liu's bloodstained lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling and mocking, "If you are a real man, how did you hook up with you?" ”
Xiao Liu blinked in confusion and said with a smile, "I don't believe you can't change your voice and body. ”
"I'm more in the instincts of the beast."
"If the beast's instincts work so well, your hairballs won't be drugged by me, there won't be a kind of trap in the world, and hunters won't have to hunt for a long time."
"What kind of illusion are you using? Your spiritual power is low, but there is no trace, as if it were your real body! ”
Xiao Liu said dissatisfiedly: "This is originally my real body!" ”
Xiang Liu stared at him, his eyes as black as ink. Xiao Liu's heart beat wildly, he slammed away Xiang Liu's hand, closed his eyes, and posed as a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, "Touch, touch, don't suspect that I'm a woman after touching!" ”
Sang-ryu stared at him for a while, "I'm not interested in this fake body of yours!" He let go of Xiao Liu, turned around and left the pool, lay down on the couch, and began to heal.
Xiao Liu's heart finally fell slowly, he was already seriously injured, and he was sucked by Xiang Liu's blood, Xiao Liu felt that his head was groggy, weighing more than a thousand catties, and he lay on his back on the water, and began to heal.
A day later, Jing found the neighborhood.
Xiang Liu still has injuries on his body, and with his suspicious nature, he naturally does not want to meet people who may threaten him. He quietly left the cave where Jing found them hiding, leaving the immobile Xiaoliu.
When Jing came in, he saw Xiao Liu floating on the water, his face was pale, covered in injuries, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Jing probed his pulse, immediately picked him up, and walked quickly out of the cave to summon his mount.
More than ten days later, Xiao Liu woke up and found himself in a very elegant room.
The pearl hangs high, the silk hangs low, it is the hot summer outside, but the interior is very cool, from the wide open window you can see that the courtyard is full of flowers, jasmine, frangipani, gladiolus, musk vine, Zhu Jin, cinnamon, red banana, Japo, Xue Bu...... Under the eaves, there is a row of wind chimes, made of ice crystals from the far north where snow is covered all year round, red, bamboo blue, purple indigo, and lotus white under the moon...... With the color of ice crystals, it is carved into the shape of various flowers. The breeze blew, bringing up the chill on the ice crystals, spreading out in all directions, making the whole courtyard cool as spring.
Xiao Liu got dressed and walked to the bottom of the porch, Jing stood up from the flower garden and looked at him fixedly.
Bright and lazy sunshine, vibrant flowers, and a gentleman, such as gold and tin, such as Gui Rubi, everything is pleasing to the eye and delightful,
Xiao Liu walked up to Jing and sighed with a smile: "I will take care of the gold and the gold, and I will not cherish it forever!" I'll take care of them, and I won't be hurt forever! "From death to life, let me indulge a little, and I won't think about those sad things.
Jing reached out and stroked his cheek, as if to confirm that he was really the same. Xiao Liu tilted his head slightly, feeling the warmth in his palm, Jing hugged Xiao Liu, and gently but forcefully held her in his arms.
Xiao Liu closed his eyes and rested his head lightly on Jing's shoulder. At this moment, they are seventeen and sixteen.
Ding Ding Dong - the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground.
Xiao Liu raised his head and saw Jing Ye standing sluggishly under the porch, his eyes full of horror.
The evil taste in Xiao Liu's body was burning, and he maintained the posture just now, closed his eyes, and pretended not to hear anything, saw nothing, and waited to see Jing's reaction.
Jing disappointed Xiao Liu, he was extremely calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, didn't know anything, and still held Xiao Liu quietly. There is a kind of momentum that allows the world to fall into mud, and he does not move.
Jingye moved the lotus step lightly and walked over, "Is the sixth prince's injury aggravated again?" Let the slave and maid help you! ”
Xiao Liu burst out laughing, this is also a second person! He broke free of Jing's hand, took a few steps back, and smiled at the silent night.
Silent night saluted him, "The grace of the son's salvation cannot be repaid, please accept the slave and maid first." ”
Xiaoliu smiled and avoided it, "Your son-in-law also saved me, and no one owes anyone." Xiao Liu hugged Jing with his fists, "Lao Mu, they are still waiting for me, I'll go back." ”
Xiao Liu turned around and left, Jing stretched out his hand, but slowly took it back, just watching Xiao Liu's back disappear under the corridor.
Xiaoliu looks good, but in fact, his body still can't exert his strength. He was tired after a little work, but he hadn't made money for a while, and the whole family had to eat, so he couldn't rest, and the Rejuvenation Hall still opened its doors to do business.
Sang Tian'er followed Xiao Liu's side, Xiao Liu moved her mouth, she did it, and the two cooperated, seeing a doctor and grabbing medicine, and they were decently and methodical. Sometimes patients who have been injured come to seek medical treatment, Sang Tianer is not afraid of blood, nor is she afraid of nausea, under the guidance of Xiao Liu, she cleans the wound and bandages the wound, which is more meticulous than Xiao Liu, and when the patient leaves, she can't stop saying thank you.
Xiaoliu praised: "When you cook, either more salt or less salt; You do laundry, which could have been worn for five years, but it becomes two years; You tidy up the house, and the mess is just hidden from the conspicuous to the inconspicuous; But you are very talented in serving people. ”
Sang Tian'er smiled bitterly, "Sixth brother, are you praising me?" ”
Xiaoliu said: "Isn't seeing a doctor just to observe words and feelings? Isn't caring for the sick like serving? I think you can learn medicine. ”
Sang Tian'er raised her head sharply and stared at Xiao Liu in a daze.
Xiao Liu said slowly: "Mazi and skewers have been with me for more than 20 years, but they are not the ones who eat this line of food after all." I think you're good, and if you want to, study hard. Don't ask for more, learn my ability to cure infertility, you and Skewers will starve to death wherever they go in this life. ”
"Sixth brother is willing to teach me?"
"Why not? If you can work, I can be lazy. ”
Sang Tian'er knelt down, kowtowed three times in a row, choked up and said, "Thank you, Sixth Brother, for your success," everything in the past is always
followed her like a shadow, even though the string loved him in every way, but she was used to seeing the impermanence of the world and the fickleness of people's hearts, and she didn't dare to put everything on a man. Her life with the skewers, the card seems to be her hypocrisy, the skewers are sincere, as if she is on top and the skewers are below, but in fact she is crawling in the fallen quicksand, begging humbly. Chun Tao can quarrel with Mazi justifiably, and she can live in her mother's house to let Mazi go, but she always carefully resolves the conflict before it erupts, and she and Skewer have never blushed at all. She is used to seeing Fengyue, how can she not know that her husband is not a benefactor, it is impossible to mix oil in honey every day, this kind of sweet love with unequal support is very illusory, but she is alone, she has nothing to rely on, and no one can tell her thoughts back and forth, so she can only laugh and hide her despair, and pretend to walk bravely. However, she didn't expect that there was a person who could understand and pity.
Thank you Chengquan for allowing her to live with dignity and equality and protect their home.
Xiao Liu said gently: "Be filial to Lao Mu, if he is alive when you die, let your son also be filial to him." ”
Sang Tian'er looked at Xiao Liu in confusion. Xiaoliu smiled.
Sang Tian'er realized something in her heart, and lowered her head emphatically, "Don't worry, I will take care of the old wood and skewers." ”
Xuan walked into the medical hall and sat opposite Xiao Liu: "After explaining the future, I will be alone?" ”
Xiao Liu lowered his head by serving the water cup, covered the ups and downs in his eyes, and smiled and instructed Sang Tian'er: "Go to the medicine field to help the skewers work." ”
Sang Tian'er glanced at Xuan and retreated silently.
Xiao Liu took a few more sips of water slowly, and then looked up at Xuan, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xuan was silent for a long time before asking, "Why did you save me?" ”
Xiao Liu smiled and said: "If you die, the Gu in your body will also die, it is not easy for me to raise that Gu, I don't want it to die." ”
Xuan looked at him, and Xiao Liu's face was calm. Xiao Liu poured him a glass of water and discussed: "Although I arrested Ah Nian, I didn't really hurt her, I just teased her." Your men hurt me, and I didn't let you get better. Although Sang-ryu used me as a trap, I also saved you. Even if we report it back and report it, can we even do it? ”
Xuan asked, "When will I be released from Gu?" ”
Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "When you leave Qingshui Town." ”
Xuan's fingers tapped lightly, "Why can't you lift it now?" ”
"You are a person with lofty intentions, you should leave Qingshui Town soon, and when you leave, I will definitely unravel the Gu. This Gu is not harmless, the only effect is that I hurt you too, as long as you don't hurt me, you naturally won't hurt, I just ask for peace of mind. ”
"Okay." Xuan got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned back again, "When you have time, you can go to the wine store to find me for a drink." ”
Xiao Liu bowed his hand and thanked him, "Okay." ”
Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Pay attention to your body, when you are injured, abstain from sex!" ”
"......" Xiaoliu was puzzled, when did he ever have a desire?
Xuan touched his neck and left with a smile. Xiao Liu still blinked his eyes in puzzlement, and after a while, he pursed the corners of his lips and smiled quietly, can he really go to you for a drink? There is a voice in his heart that is opposing, but another voice says that he will leave soon, and if he doesn't drink now, he won't have a chance.
When winter comes, Xiaoliu's injuries are completely healed.
In the past few months, because his body is easily tired, Xiao Liu has stayed in the house all day, and he has a lot of time to teach Sang Tian'er.
Sang Tian'er studied medicine very seriously, and her daily life was busy, and her relationship with Skewers had subtle changes. After Sang Tian'er married a skewer, she was very taboo about things that had something to do with the past and deliberately avoided them, but now occasionally she unconsciously grinds herbs while humming the songs she learned before. In the past, Sang Tian'er always followed the skewers for everything, but now sometimes the skewers work slowly, and she will also urge loudly, and Sang Tian'er is becoming more and more like the hostess of the Rejuvenation Hall.
Xiao Liu smiled and watched Sang Tian'er work hard to grasp a little bit of meager happiness, just like watching a seed sprout in the cold and barren land, and the tenacity of life made onlookers feel the strength.
In the evening, a light snow fell.
This is the first snow of the year, Lao Mu lay down the hot wine, shouting Xiao Liu and the skewers to drink with him, Xiao Liu remembered another person's invitation to drink, and looked at the snowflakes in a daze.
Sang Tian'er came in from outside with a lantern, and while stomping the snow on her feet, she handed the lantern to the skewers.
The string was about to blow out the lantern, but Xiao Liu suddenly took it, and he didn't wear a hat to cover the snow, and went out of the house with the lantern.
Lao Mu shouted: "You don't drink anymore? ”
Xiao Liutou didn't reply, just waved his hand.
Braving the light snow, walking through the long street, Xiaoliu arrived in front of the wine shop, and suddenly hesitated again.
Carrying the lantern, he stood quietly in front of the door for a while, and Xiao Liu turned around and walked back.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?" Xuan stood at the door, looking at Xiao Liu's back.
Xiao Liu turned around slowly and said with a smile: "I saw that there was no light, so I thought you were not at home." ”
Xuan just smiled, and didn't intend to expose Xiao Liu's lies.
Xiao Liu followed behind Xuan, walked through the front hall, and entered the courtyard at the back. I don't know where Xuan moved a plum tree, and at this time it was spitting, and the dark fragrance filled the entire courtyard.
Xuan looked at Xiao Liu and looked at the plum tree, and said, "Ah Nian wants to see it, and I planted it for her to watch and play." ”
Xiaoliu said: "You really love my sister." "It was just a joke back then, but now it's a lot of taste.
The two sat on the warm couch, Xuan set out five or six dishes of side dishes, lit a small red clay stove, and boiled wine on the stove.
The doors and windows are wide open, and the snowflakes and plum blossoms are in full view, which is very interesting.
Neither of them spoke, just drank in a sinking voice. One is that he is wary and too lazy to be perfunctory; One endured the sadness and was speechless.
This is a wine shop, lacking everything, but there is no shortage of wine. The wine was poured down like water, and Xiao Liu gradually became a little drunk, and asked with a smile: "How could Ah Nian allow me to sit here and drink?" ”
Xuan smiled slyly, "She drinks very lightly, she pours a glass, and now she is probably dreaming." ”
Xiao Liu said: "I see that you are the Protoss, and you are all the children of the big family, why did you come to Qingshui Town to suffer the crime? ”
Xuan said: "I thought you knew the reason. ”
"Kill Xiangliu?" Xiao Liu shook his head, "People like you don't have to kill people yourself. ”
Xuan smiled silently, Xiao Liu held the wine glass and touched him, "Let's talk about it!" ”
"The real reason is said, maybe no one believes it."
"I believe it."
"That'...... All right! Tell you! I learned the craft of winemaking from my master, who once got drunk and told me a story from his youth. He said that at that time, he was not the patriarch of the family, he traveled to the great wilderness as an ordinary person, and made a living by striking iron in a small town, and lived in his family for a short time. One day, a young man approached him to strike iron and coax him to work, but the promised wine turned out to be the worst wine, and from then on he made the only friend in his life. I kept this story in mind, and when I was a child, I often thought that in the future, I would also live like an ordinary person, and maybe I would be able to meet a friend with whom I fell in love. ”
After Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Liu, "Do you believe my words?" ”
"Believe!"
"Why? Don't you think this reason is ridiculous? ”
"I can sense that you're telling the truth."
Xuan sighed, "But I'm not a master, although I'm selling alcohol, I don't really live like an ordinary person." ”
Xiaoliu smiled and comforted, "Each has its own opportunities, and you have seen a lot." ”
Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, Master hasn't been planted with Gu. ”
Xiaoliu held his head and smiled, "Then you have to thank me." ”
Xuan asked, "Why did you save me?" ”
Xiao Liu held the wine bowl and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not drunk yet!" It's too early to talk about it! ”
Xuan smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for you to get drunk and ask again." ”
Xiaoliu shook his finger, "Impossible." ”
"Why can't it be?"
Xiao Liu drank three glasses of wine in a row, "Because...... I'm going to sleep. He lay on the desk and fell asleep.
Xuan shook him, "You drink a lot!" I went to close the doors and windows, felt lightheaded, so I simply drank a few glasses of wine in a row, and fell asleep on the couch. In the middle of the night, when he woke up, Xiao Liu had already left, leaving only the cold dishes and wine on the couch, and Xuan smiled dumbly.
After a few days, Xuan's plum blossom wine brewed last year was ready to drink.
Xuan finished selling wine during the day, and suddenly became interested in the evening, carrying two jars of wine to see Xiaoliu.
Xiao Liu saw that it was him, and after being stunned for a moment, he invited him in.
Xiaoliu doesn't have any decent drinking utensils at home, and they all drink from bowls. Xiao Liu took two bowls and got some of the duck necks and chicken feet he usually eats, even if he has appetizers.
The two of them were still drinking in silence, and after drinking a jar of wine, the two of them were slightly drunk.
Xuan asked, "Why are you in Qingshui Town?" ”
"I wandered around, walked and walked to get here, I thought I liked it, so I stayed."
"You and the Nine Lives Willow...... Familiar? ”
Xiao Liu held his head, thought for a while, and said, "This kind of question is not suitable for answering when drinking. ”
"Then a few more bowls to answer."
Xuan poured a large bowl of wine for Xiao Liu, and after Xiao Liu drank it, he said, "I'm afraid of him, but I don't hate him." He and I are not enemies, but we are certainly not friends either. ”
Xuan said: "It's a pity that he is too shrewd, otherwise I would really want to have a drink with him on a regular basis." ”
Xiaoliu asked, "You and Ah Nian...... Just brother and sister love? ”
Xuan chuckled softly, "This kind of question is a good time to answer when drinking." ”
Xiao Liu poured him a big bowl, and after Xuan poured it, he was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Liu poured him another big bowl, and Xuan drank it in one go, and took out a jade sachet that he was wearing closely. Opened the sachet and pulled out a small ball of fluffy things, like a white snowball, he shook it, the hairball became larger, and became a white fox tail, "This is my sister's baby, when we parted, she gave it to me, saying that it was only temporarily lent to me to play, this has been more than three hundred years for the time being!" ”
Xuan stroked the white fox tail, "My sister is the daughter of my aunt and master, I promised my aunt that I would take care of my sister, but I broke my promise." My sister disappeared when she was very young, and they all said she was dead, but I always hoped that she was still alive and waiting for her to come back to get the fox's tail back. Ah Nian is also the master's daughter, and pampering her is like doting on her sister. ”
Xiao Liu seemed to be overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol, and when he held his forehead with his hand and raised the wine bowl to drink, he quietly imprinted the wetness from the corners of his eyes.
Xuan turned the fox's tail into a small ball, stuffed it back into the jade sachet, and put it away closely. He poured a lot of wine, touched the bowl with Xiao Liu, and drank it all.
After drinking the two jars of wine, both of them fell asleep drunk. In the middle of the night, when Xiaoliu woke up, Xuan was already gone.
Xiaoliu couldn't sleep anymore, kept his eyes open, and was in a daze until dawn.
Throughout the winter, Xiao Liu and Xuan would drink together every once in a while.
At the beginning, when the two chatted, they often couldn't speak right, but as the days went by, Xuan half-truthfully regarded Xiaoliu as a friend, and even asked Xiaoliu seriously for advice on using poison.
Xiao Liu was very honest with Xuan, for example, when he explained poisons, he knew almost everything, and he knew everything, and all kinds of poisoning techniques came to him in detail, and all kinds of simple and effective methods to avoid poison were also carefully explained. Sometimes, Xiao Liu would seriously remind him: "Xiangliu wants to kill you, although it is impossible for him to send troops into Qingshui Town, but after all, the Shennong Righteous Army has been entrenched here for hundreds of years, so you should leave as soon as possible." ”
Xuan felt that they were friends who could put their hearts into their hearts, but when Xuan really wanted to go further, Xiao Liu would smile and pretend to be stupid.
The two seem to be just friends of wine and meat, and when they are drunk, they talk and laugh; When I wake up, I am strange.
