Chapter 20: Like a Dream
In the winter of 104 years in Ming'an, the southwest border of Qianguo - Qingyang Mountain Range, the monster beast rioted, and from time to time a small wave of beasts hit the border. At this time, the border officers and soldiers of the small beast tide can still stop it, but there are scouts who have probed deeply, and the beast tide is very likely to become more and more ferocious.
The main forces of the imperial court are guarding the northern border, and the neighboring countries are strong and strong, and the demon beasts of the Qingyang Mountain Range can only issue edicts to let the capable people of the people protect their families and defend the country.
The imperial edict was issued during the first snow of winter, three days after Lou Changyun's disappearance.
Dian Yan nested in Shi Sui's arms, and unknowingly thought that Dian Yan was afraid of the cold and hid in Shi Sui's arms to keep warm, but in fact, Shi Sui's hands were too cold, even if there was a charcoal fire burning on the side, his fingertips were cold.
……
"Sui, it's getting colder and colder, it should snow soon, you ......" Lou Changyun, who was about to go out, told him a lot, until he was a little impatient, and he said: "If it's snowing, I'll pick some ice cubes for you." ”
Born on a snowy day, the ice fruit is extremely cold on the outside, but fiery on the inside, and it is one of the few Xuanguo that mortals can eat.
……
This was the last sentence that Lou Changyun said before leaving, and he pushed Lou Changyun out of the house with a disgusted face, thinking that he was too verbose.
Shi Sui originally thought that Lou Changyun would be the same as before, and he would come back in three days at most.
The edict had been issued for several days, and the snow had fallen for several days, and it had been ten days since I saw Lou Changyun.
Lou Changyun rarely enters the mountain in winter, but this time Duobao Pavilion sells a piece of armor, which is just right for Lou Changyun, but this time Duobao Pavilion doesn't need money, and it needs a snake gall of the Seven Fire Snake to change that armor.
"Sui," Wang Shanfu called outside, "it's time to eat." ”
The house that Lou Changyun rented in the town happened to be next to Anjia, and the two families usually ate together, but Lou Changyun was not there, and there was no one in the Lou family to help.
At the dinner table, An Yizhi and Wang Shanfu looked at Shi Sui who was eating silently, and the worry in their hearts was even worse.
"Sui, eat some food." Uncle Yuan added some greens and put them in Shi Sui's bowl.
Since the snow, Uncle Yuan was taken to the town by An Yizhi, although Uncle Yuan himself is a doctor, but after all, he is old, where can An Yizhi and Wang Shanfu rest assured that the old father can stay alone in his hometown where the road is slippery in the snow.
Hearing that he had taken the old vegetables, his eyes fluctuated slightly, "Thank you, Uncle Yuan." ”
Seeing Shi Sui's distracted appearance, Wang Shanfu pulled An Yizhi's clothes under the table, and waited for An Yizhi to look at him desperately.
An Yi understood in seconds, and told Shi Sui the plan he was already preparing: "Sui Sui, don't worry too much, I went to find the mercenary, and in a few days I will go to the mountains to find Changyun, and I will bring him back safely." ”
Shi Sui's face finally regained his strength, and he hurriedly asked, "When are you going?" ”
“……”
Winter is the season of recuperation, monsters look for a place to spend the winter, and humans who have hunted for more than half a year will generally stop at this time, after all, they also have to give monsters time to breathe, so that they can better grow and even reproduce in the coming year.
Moreover, as soon as the imperial edict was issued, many mercenaries went to the border.
An Yizhi didn't know how to reply to him, before the age came, Lou Changyun also had a situation where he disappeared for more than ten days after entering the mountain, he didn't care about Lou Changyun's disappearance at first, until Wang Shanfu reminded him:
1. Lou Changyun said clearly before going out that as soon as he got the snake gall of the Seven Fire Snakes, he would come back immediately, and he would bring Bingling Fruit to Shi Sui.
Second, in the past, Lou Changyun was alone, and he stayed in the mountains for ten days and half a month, and he would not have too many worries, but now it is different, sometimes he waits for him at home, and Lou Changyun will go home every three days in the past few months is the best proof.
It's just that there are few mercenaries now, and the streets of Nanxi Town are much lonely, and An Yi thought that if he couldn't find the mercenaries in a few days, he would go into the mountains to find Lou Changyun alone.
But An Yizhi, who didn't know what he was thinking, saw that An Yizhi didn't reply after his question was said, his eyes dimmed instantly, and at the same time he made a decision in his heart - he left Nanxi Town tonight and went to find Lou Changyun.
Aggressiveness is the factor that the people on this continent are buried deep in, and injured people come in from Huaiyuantang almost every day, and in the name of giving An Yizhi a hand, they have already hidden the blood of others.
Although he can't cultivate at that age, his bloodline talent is still there, plus he has the talent to perceive plants and trees...... Shi Sui pursed his lips, even if he didn't have these, he had to go into the mountains to find Lou Changyun.
Time passed, and the sky darkened, and the light of the obsidian stone scanned the things they had brought with them in this room.
The wooden figure that I bought in the market for the first time looks like Lou Changyun; The household that is tied to Lou Changyun is a family in the laws of Qianguo; Now that he is becoming more and more naughty, he always causes trouble with Lou Changyun, and jumps to the body of the old man to find safety......
There are many more, bit by bit, gathered into unforgettable memories in front of him, just like Lou Changyun, little by little in his heart. If it weren't for Lou Changyun's disappearance this time, he wouldn't have known that he had grown into a big tree at the bottom of his heart, and the roots and veins had run through the entire heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.
"Dianyan," Shi Sui held Dianyan in front of his eyes, "I'm going to go out later, it may take a long time, you will follow your sister-in-law and them when the time comes, you must be obedient, you know?" ”
The lights of An's house next door have been on for a long time, because An Yizhi and Wang Shanfu are both Xuanshi, Shi Sui can only wait for them to fall asleep before daring to go out, but this time, I don't know what time to wait, Shi Sui fell asleep in a daze.
I also had a dream, a beautiful unreal dream.
……
"Dian Yan, I'm going to go out later, it may take a long time, you will follow your sister-in-law and them when the time comes, you must be obedient, you know?"
As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open, and a familiar voice sounded, "Where are you going?" ”
There was a hoarse voice in the familiar voice, and he didn't dare to look back, for fear that the person in his dream would dissipate as soon as he turned around, leaving only a phantom for him to miss.
"Where are you going so late?" The voice got closer and closer, "What do you mean when you say you're going out for a long time?" ”
The hoarse voice gradually took on a low pitch as the distance retracted.
Until the owner of the voice walked behind Shi Sui and broke his body with his back to him, when Shi Sui saw the familiar face, his eyes were finally overwhelmed, and the tears of bean size fell disturbingly like beads of broken threads, messing people's heartstrings.
"Years and ......" tears blurred the face of the person in front of him, but he could hear that his voice was replaced by panic.
……
This dream was so beautiful, just before he was about to go out, the person he was looking for stepped on the snow and stepped on the moonlight paved by Chanjuan and returned home.
It's a pity that it's too beautiful, but it's even more sad after knowing that it's fake.
What I hated even more was that I was ready to go out to find Lou Changyun, but I couldn't hold back and fell asleep.
The golden crow, which was hidden by the heavy clouds, finally shed its brilliance today, and the snow outside the window reflected it, even if the window was closed, it could make people cry uncontrollably.
The dry pillow towel was thoroughly soaked with the tears of the time again.
The door was pushed open, and there was no sound, and the time was old that he thought it was a little face, so he still bit the horn and cried wantonly.
Until a voice that should have dissipated with the dissipation of the dream sounded behind him, "Suisui, don't sleep...... Age? ”
Lou Changyun came in to shout at Shi Sui to get up and eat breakfast, but when he walked to the bed, he heard a rapid breathing sound that was different from the slow breathing sound when he was sleeping, just like the time Sui threw himself into his arms and cried last night.
For a long time, he didn't get up, didn't look back, didn't speak, only the sound of rapid breathing seemed to stagnate. Lou Changyun was in a hurry, and picked up Shi Sui from the bed through the quilt.
Lou Changyun's gaze fell uncontrollably on his eyes that were still crying, and the walnut eyes that he had only eliminated with his Xuan Li last night now had faint signs of recurrence.
"Why are you crying? Am I not back? ”
This sentence was like a switch, and the crying voice that Shi Sui had endured turned into a howling cry, intermittently telling the reason why he still cried in Lou Changyun's arms.
Because your return is so delightful, I thought it was just a fool of mine.
After a long time, Shi Sui was tired of crying in Lou Changyun's arms, and fell asleep again, but this time when he fell asleep, there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth. It's just that Lou Changyun suffered, and he had to use his power to eliminate the walnut eyes that were crying again.
However, although he sighed, this heart seemed to have fallen into a honey pot.
"Why did it take you so long to come back? Are there any injuries? When he woke up again, he was about to lift Lou Changyun's clothes to check if there were any shocking scars.
Lou Changyun stretched out his hand to block it, but when he saw Shi Sui's suffocated little mouth, he was afraid that he would be dissatisfied and lose the golden bean, so he had to take off his clothes by Shi Sui.
Shi Sui checked very carefully, not only looked at it but also touched it inch by inch with his hands, and wiped it with his hands when he encountered something that felt wrong, for fear that Lou Changyun would apply medicinal powder or Wang Shanfu's rouge to cover up the scars on his body.
The white little hand moved lightly or heavily on his honey-colored skin, and Lou Changyun's breathing gradually became heavier. Obviously, the knuckled fingers carried a coolness, but for some reason, after the coolness passed through his skin, it turned into a burning sensation and rushed straight under him.
After checking the above, the little hands that were old still had to take off Lou Changyun's pants.
Lou Changyun hurriedly stretched out his hand, he didn't know how much willpower he used to restrain it, if he took it off, he couldn't hide it at all.
If the impulsiveness of the past was only a man's normal need, but this time when I saw the tears in my eyes, the tulle in my heart was shattered.
It's not because of the agreement, it's just that by the agreement, I can't help but get close to him.
