"Do you want a lap?"

Chu Ji rode on the horse, turned his head sideways, and looked at Qin Zong, who was riding side by side with him. He is already intelligent, he can learn many things as soon as he learns, and he can endure hardships and is willing to work hard. So in just one afternoon, his equestrianism was already remarkable.

Having just learned a new skill, Chu Ji was also very happy in his heart. Although he knew that Qin Zong's equestrian skills were excellent and few people in the world could match him, he still couldn't help but offer to race with him.

Qin Zong glanced at him. At this time, Chu Ji's complexion was no longer the pale he used to be, but a large patch of rouge-like pink, and a little hair on his forehead, which was a little messy on his cheeks because of sweating.

Bright eyes and bright teeth, as bright as a galaxy. A small mole on the eyelid adds to the emotion.

Qin Zong didn't speak, just controlled the snow and walked to the outer circle that was on par with Chu Ji.

"Drive-"

As Chu Ji's words fell, the two horses galloped together.

The sound of tuk tuk horses' hooves, and two cold and calm horses, echoed in the empty horse field. Under the golden sunset, two completely different, but unusually harmonious backs, gradually faded away.

The horse's hooves were galloping, and Qin Zong only felt that the flowers and trees beside him were like phantoms, flashing by. Only the warm wind blew on him, dutifully brought to him, the medicinal fragrance that only belonged to Chu Ji, like this summer evening, the only breath and coolness between heaven and earth.

The competition is over. The final result was naturally that Qin Zong rode through the snow and reached the finish line first. But even so, Chu Ji didn't lag too far behind. Qin Zong waited for him at the finish line for less than half a cup of tea, and Chu Ji rode the jade top and came to Qin Zong's eyes.

It was just an afternoon's effort, and being able to do this was enough to prove that Chu Ji's talent was excellent, as well as the hard work he had put in.

Looking at the figure of Chu Ji riding a horse, Qin Zong somehow remembered the joke that Chu Ji said to Jiang Mu that day by the stream-"I, I was tormented by this body." ”

That may be Chu Ji's true words. was said by him in a joking way, which inexplicably made Qin Zong a little worried.

If it weren't for the drag of this body, Chu Ji would have been the turbid prince who rode a horse and leaned on the bridge, and his side hat was also graceful. （1）

No, he is so sharp and transparent, stoic and tenacious, and he is more likely to become a Confucian general with a silver saddle and a white horse to enjoy the spring breeze. （2）

Seeing that Chu Ji also stopped, Qin Zong turned over and dismounted neatly. Then, he walked in front of Chu Ji and stretched out his hands towards him.

This is a somewhat overly intimate action that seems to take Chu Ji into his arms.

Chu Ji smiled at him, put his arm up in a good manner, and then Qin Zong's strength dismounted.

Although the chic riding of the horse and whip made him feel very happy, this overly weak body was almost about to fall apart. What's more, as a beginner, although he has changed into a costume suitable for horseback riding, and has the assistance of saddle stirrups, the skin on his inner thighs is afraid that it is already broken and red and swollen.

"Thank you so much for today."

Qin Zong pursed his lips, twisted his eyebrows, and didn't speak, just two hands that were close to Chu Ji's warm skin, and moved away uncomfortably. It seems that he is very uncomfortable with Chu Ji's almost all the movements that fall into his arms.

After Chu Ji stood still, he went straight to his hands, grabbed the reins of the jade top, and sent it back to the stable. Treading Xue may really be a divine horse, not waiting for orders, it just watched Qin Zong's movements, and consciously followed to the stable.

Chu Ji stood in the shade of the tree and looked at Qin Zong's back.

The body is like a pine, straight and straight, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and a narrow back, and black hair flying. Just a back can make people feel that there is a dragon and a phoenix.

Only the wind knows what kind of red Qin Zong's ears hidden under his hair are.

But the kind wind will also help him cover up the throbbing that the young man himself has not yet realized.

Qin Zong returned after sending the horse, and the two of them were ready to go home.

As soon as Chu Ji took a step, he felt that his legs were sore, and he was about to fall, and even his back could only be kept straight.

Seeing this, Qin Zong stepped forward and put his hand on Chu Ji's shoulder. Chu Ji subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Qin Zong said: "Being helped by me, can you still damage Lord Chu's face?" ”

Chu Ji was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Qin Zong also had such a grudge, and he actually threw back the words he had told Qin Zong when he was in the Chu Mansion. He couldn't help but worry a little, is this considered adolescent rebellion?

The two of them supported each other like this, to be precise, it was Chu Ji who pressed most of his body's strength on Qin Zong's body. They walked in the setting sun, the golden light shining on the backs of both of them, and the shadows were stretched long, long.

Qin Zong sent Chu Ji back to the room.

When Chu Ji sat on his carved bed, he carefully pinched his legs. When he was complaining in his heart, thinking about how long he would be counted by Jiang Mu tonight, Qin Zong suddenly took out an oiled paper bag from his arms.

"What is this?"

"Preserves. I bought it at the bazaar today. ”

Hearing Qin Zong say this, Chu Ji remembered. When the two of them came back from the Yamen, they passed by a shop selling snacks and food, and Qin Zong had indeed gone to buy something. It turned out to be candied fruit.

"What do you want to do for me?" Chu Ji saw that he had been holding it, and while asking, he stretched out his hand to take it.

Qin Zong stood in place and was silent for a long time before he said stiffly: "I'll give you to take it after drinking the medicine." ”

When Chu Ji heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then a warm current surged in his heart. Although the cub is a little awkward, when he wants to be good to people, he really sets it up.

He didn't actually have the habit of eating candied fruit after drinking the medicine. When he first came to this world, he woke up after falling into the water. When I woke up, the first thing I drank was a bowl of sour and bitter Chinese medicine. After pinching his nose and drinking it all, he was about to ask if there was anything that could suppress the bitter taste, but he was told that he could not eat candied fruit, and he would be shocked by the medicinal properties.

After drinking that bitter medicine for a long time, he gradually got used to it. Later, his health was still so bad, and he didn't know how many kinds of tonic he had drunk, some of which he could eat preserves, and some of which he couldn't. But he was too troublesome to ask if he didn't want to change the medicine, so he simply kept it off.

Anyway, he has always been able to endure hardships, and it's not that he can't bear it.

But now that the cub has given it, it is a piece of his heart.

In Chu Ji's two lives, he didn't receive too much pure heart, so his eyes were hot, his mind was hot, and he wanted to cherish it.

Medicinal properties or something, whatever?

Chu Ji stretched out his hand, took out a candied fruit, and put it in his mouth. The entrance is slightly sour, but quickly covered with sweetness. The flesh is plump and soft, slightly sticky to the teeth, and the taste is very good.

"It's sweet." Chu Ji smiled at Qin Zong, "Thank you." ”

Qin Zong said, "I won't be shocked by the medicinal properties." ”

"Huh?"

Looking at Chu Ji's peach blossom eyes, there was a rare stunned and ignorant look, and Qin Zong felt some indescribable joy in his heart somehow. He suppressed the pleasure in his heart, pondered it for a while, and explained: "The medicine you drank yesterday did not contain ingredients that collided with candied fruit. ”

Chu Ji then remembered that yesterday because Jiang Mu was in a hurry to see Yang You, he directly brought his medicine to the study. Later, Jiang Mu left in a hurry, causing the medicine bowl to be left in the study, and the smell of medicine lingered for a long time.

He had heard Jiang Mu say that people who have studied pharmacology can roughly distinguish the types of drugs by smell.

Is Qin Zong also quite pharmacological? In the original book, there is no mention of it at all. But come to think of it, since the divine doctor in the original book asked Qin Zong to be his medicine boy, Qin Zong must indeed know the art of Qi Huang.

Chu Ji's eyes suddenly became clear.

Only then did he realize that it was no wonder that when Jiang Mu treated Qin Zong's injuries, he didn't even suspect that he had put some poison in it that could control people. After all, there is no separation between medicine and poison, Jiang Mu's medical skills are excellent, and he is also a master of using poison. No wonder Qin Zong was quite wary of himself at that time, and he actually let Jiang Mu change his medicine.

He couldn't help but feel a little lucky, fortunately, he was also a righteous gentleman, and he didn't have the intention of using poison to control Qin Zong. Otherwise, where would he have the opportunity to receive this handful of preserves as he did today?

So now, Qin Zheng himself has confessed some of his skills that can be used to save his life, does it mean that his hard heart has been slightly moved by himself?

This realization made him a little excited.

Qin Zong looked at Chu Ji's instantaneous change in his eyes and sighed secretly. He knew that with Chu Ji's intelligence, how could he not think of that day?

Just when he was worried about how Chu Ji would react, he actually saw that the smile on the corners of Chu Ji's eyes and eyebrows deepened.

The gaze is sincere, clean and bright.

Qin Zong lowered his eyes, and without waiting for Chu Ji to speak, he walked out silently.

When I got to the door, I didn't look back, but just said to myself, "Remember to rub the medicine." ”

Chu Ji was originally immersed in a happy mood, but when he heard this, he was stunned, and then reacted. What Qin Zong said should be the scars on his palms and legs that he made in order to ride a horse today.

The little cub still cares about the "old father" very much~
