Chapter 5: Snow Scene
When Qi Yu said goodbye to the emperor, it was just after noon, in these three or nine days, Shangjing was getting colder and colder, Qi Yu in order to be chic, only wore a thin single coat in the iron armor, Rao was born with heat, and he couldn't stop the biting cold wind.
After a while, the wind stopped, but the snowflakes were bustling down, and when the snow began to fall, it was accompanied by a light rain, and soon only the goose feathers of snowflakes fell from the cloudy sky, and the ground was white for a while.
Qi Yu looked up at the high walls around him, and then looked at the snowy sky, he didn't know if it was cold or hungry, his mind was empty for a while, and when he came back to his senses, there was a faint pain in his heart, which was not strong but also torturous.
Qi Yu didn't know what this sudden hypocrisy was, he shook his head, fortunately he didn't want to, he has always been like this, don't think about it if he can't figure it out, his heart is wide and fat, and he lives freely, but he also follows the word Daoyi that his mother gave him.
As soon as he left the palace gate, the snowflakes had already piled a thin layer on his hair and shoulders, and he reached out to sweep the snow off his body, and when he was about to continue walking, he saw a person standing not far away.
In the white snow, this person stood next to the red plum in a white suit with a paper umbrella, playing with the red plum blossoms, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a shallow smile.
Qi Yugang thought about when there was such an elegant beauty in this palace, and when he looked at it, it was actually the fourth brother.
Qi Yu walked over quickly and got into the paper umbrella, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, are you waiting for me?" ”
Qi Zhen was originally looking at the plum blossoms, but when he heard the voice, he turned around suddenly, looked at the enlarged facial features in front of him, and was startled and stepped back.
Qi Yu grabbed Qi Zhen's wrist for fear that he would fall: "Fourth brother, be careful." ”
"I'm not scared by you." Qi Zhen steadied his heart and glanced at him.
"Why is the fourth brother here? But waiting for me? Qi Yu gathered Qi Zhen's coat and then took the paper umbrella, and said: "The wind and cold are just right, so I came out to make trouble, I really didn't take my body seriously." ”
"Fourth brother still needs you to worry about? Thank God that you can take care of yourself, fourth brother. Qi Zhen grabbed Qi Yu's wrist and looked at his sleeve to see that it was really bloody: "How did it hurt?" ”
"Didn't I sneak back to Beijing to play a few days ago, when I went back to the tent yesterday, I was found by the master and whipped me a few times, you don't know how hard my master is, if I don't have to face the saint today, he can whip me for half a month and can't get out of bed."
Qi Zhen wrinkled his brows, and since Marshal Chen beat him, he didn't say anything: "You should, who let you sneak out!" ”
Qi Yu pursed his lips: "Fourth brother, you have changed, you don't hurt Xiao Jiu anymore." ”
Qi Zhen listened to it funny: "I don't care, can you wait here for so long?" Does it still hurt? ”
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts, fourth brother~" Qi Yu has been injured all the year round, and his pain has long been insensitive, and he is not at ease at all about this little injury.
As soon as Qi Zhen asked, he felt some pain in his arm, and hurriedly leaned on Qi Zhen's shoulder, twisted around, hummed and chirped, and looked at Qi Zhen's face while acting.
Qi Zhen knocked on his head: "You are more coquettish than the girls in other people's boudoirs." ”
He knows his younger brother very well, he usually doesn't say anything about how many injuries he suffers outside, but he starts to be a demon when he farts a little bit in front of his brother.
It used to be for the eldest brother, and now it is for him. But judging from the blood stains on Qi Yu's arm alone, the injury should be quite serious, so he didn't say anything about him, and dragged Qi Yu to the house.
Qi Zhen pulled Qi Yu's sleeve and walked through the lobby, leaving only one sentence: "Uncle Liu, tell the kitchen to boil hot water and make some pastries and send them to my room." ”
The old butler had never seen his master in such a hurry, and he didn't even see the faces of the people behind him clearly, and the two disappeared from sight.
"Take off your armor and take off your shirt." As soon as he returned to the room, Qi Zhen threw Qi Yu on the bed and went to the next room to get the medicine.
Qi Yu actually wanted to say that it was no big deal, but after thinking about how he pretended to be pitiful along the way, he had a dumb voice, but he still didn't say it, and obediently took off his shirt and lay on the bed.
After a while, Qi Zhen and the housekeeper came with hot water and pastries, and when Qi Zhen sent the housekeeper away, when he looked back, he saw several bruised whip marks on Qi Yu's bare back and arms, and the blood stains on his back were actually stained with most of his back, and his eyes darkened.
Qi Zhen put down the hot water, soaked the towel and began to wipe the bloodstains, the more he wiped his eyes, the darker his eyes became, and when the whole back was revealed, Qi Zhen's whole face was dark.
Qi Yu was chewing pastries while lying on his stomach, and suddenly a chill came from behind, and when he turned his head, the expression on the fourth brother's face was really terrifying.
Qi Yu was so careful that his liver trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, don't look at the blood, it's not serious, it's just a flesh injury, not a bone injury, the master is measured in beating, just raise it for two days." ”
Qi Zhen still didn't speak, just stared at his back. Qi Yu's back was full of scars, new and old injuries were intertwined, especially the huge scar from his right shoulder to his left waist, which made him look frightened:
It would take a lot of deep wounds to leave such a long scar, how did he survive all these years...
Qi Zhen clenched the towel in his hand, and the knuckles of his fingers began to white.
Qi Yu didn't dare to speak anymore, and took a small bite of the osmanthus cake, which tasted the same as chewing wax. After a long time, Qi Zhen began to take medicine and said, "Your scar..."
Qi Yu saw Qi Zhen speak, and hurriedly asked, "Which way?" After asking, he saw that his fourth brother's face darkened again, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, and hurriedly said: "Oh, fourth brother, how can there be no bumps on the battlefield, what's wrong with a scar on the man's body, how handsome, you said that if you meet a bandit or something on the road in the future, you can scare him away as soon as you take off your clothes, hahaha." ”
"Right shoulder to left waist." Qi Zhen couldn't laugh, and said while bandaging.
Qi Yu paused: "Ah, that, when I was twelve years old, there were several assassins who broke into the military account, and the master was not there at that time, and I and the fourteenth and two deputy generals were in the command of the military tent.
Those men in black had very high martial arts, and we were defeated, and the two lieutenants desperately ensured that I and Fourteen left, leaving this scar on the way. ”
Qi Zhen's movements in his hand stopped, thoughtful.
Qi Yu saw that Qi Zhen didn't speak, so he silently put on clean clothes on the side, sat on the bed and looked at him carefully.
Qi Yu still remembers the first time he saw Qi Zhen, when Qi Yu was six years old, he was naughty and mischievous, and he offended almost all the princes except for his eldest brother.
When the eldest brother was there, Qi Yu was not bored with the eldest brother, but when the eldest brother was not there, although he was accompanied by the palace maid and eunuch, Qi Yu was also bored.
Once he threw off the palace maid and walked around the palace by himself, and inexplicably walked into a very deserted courtyard, and saw a little boy in the courtyard who would decoct medicine and boil hot water for a while, and he was busy and tired and panting, and there was a coughing sound in the house.
Qi Yu was curious, so he trotted into the house to see what was going on, and saw a beautiful woman lying on the couch, her face pale with life.
Qi Yu walked up to her and looked at her carefully, and the woman also saw him, sat up, took a candy from under the pillow and handed it to him with a smile.
He was still young at the time, and he was a little frightened when he saw this, so he ran out as soon as he slipped away. But the next day, he couldn't help but run over with curiosity, and after coming and going, he became acquainted with the woman, and also knew that the little boy's name was Qi Zhen, and he was his fourth brother.
His fourth brother has been gentle and gentle since he was a child, and he is as gentle and beautiful as his mother.
The woman died soon after, and Qi Yu said that it was poor Qi Zhen who was afraid that he would be lonely, but in fact, he was bored by himself. So he came to Qi Zhen to play every day, and slowly the two began to become intimate.
The last time Qi Yu saw Qi Zhen like this was when he was eight years old.
Qi Yu once offended the third brother, and was picked up and beaten by the third brother, and he was not relieved by just beating him, and released "Junjun" again.
This "handsome" Qi Yu knew that it was given to the third brother by the third brother's maternal uncle, and he brought it back and showed it off in front of them, Qi Yu was so frightened by the big dog that he ran while crying, and when he saw that he was pounced on by the dog, Qi Zhen came.
He stretched out his right hand to block Qi Yu, and was bitten by a big dog, and blood splattered on the spot and sprayed Qi Yu's face.
Qi Yu was frightened, but he, the fourth brother who looked weak, desperately shook off the big dog and protected him behind him, and in the end, it was the eldest brother who was attracted by his crying to save them.
Afterwards, Qi Yu was so frightened that he hugged Qi Zhen and cried desperately, and Qi Zhen just looked at Qi Yi without saying a word, and the fourth brother's eyes were the same as today, which was creepy.
It wasn't until Qi Yu went to the battlefield that he understood what the chill was at that time, it was naked killing intent.
