Chapter Twenty-Seven: Late-Night Talks

With a creak, the sound of the wooden door opening and closing sounded, and Cheng Yanqiu walked in and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Fight poison with poison," Wu Xing said, "I make it hurt more, and it won't hurt anymore." ”

The gentleman understood her strangely, sighed and smiled helplessly, "You stupid girl." ”

He walked over and sat next to Wu Xing, and she saw that he was holding a porcelain vase with delicate patterns in his hand, and when the porcelain vase was opened, it was a white paste with a good smell of flowers.

"Well, don't move. The gentleman pressed her leg and poured the flowing ointment on her wound, which was cool and refreshing, and made her feel refreshed at once, and the gentleman used his fingertips to help her rub the ointment apart, and after a while, she felt that the wound was hot, a little warm, but not very painful.

The gentleman closed the lid of the porcelain vase, put it on the bedside, and said, "It's not early, go to sleep." ”

Wu Xing knew that he was going to share a room with his husband, so he rolled it down, rolled up the quilt and curled up into a small bag, occupying a small corner on the inside of the bed, leaving a large open space for him.

The gentleman lay on the edge of the bed, "You don't have to be like this, you can sleep as you want." ”

Wu Xing responded, turned over, and straightened her legs, but she was a small one, even if she unfolded her big characters and slept on the bed, she didn't take up much space.

Listening to Mr.'s steady breathing, Wu Xing asked tentatively, "Sir, are you asleep?"

"Huh, can't sleep?"

"I can't sleep," Takeyuki said honestly, "Sir, tell me a story." ”

Suddenly arrived in a strange place, it is normal to not be able to sleep, Cheng Yanqiu met this request with a little hesitation, "What do you want to hear?"

But he doesn't tell stories, and I hope what he tells doesn't scare Take.

"Tell me about the past of Mr., just the Shura fan during the day, the exquisite scholar and the merry swordsman, and the ten thousand pine winds. Wu Xing was a little curious during the day, she had never seen something like a fan appear next to her husband, the fan was a dead thing and it didn't look like a parrot would die, could it be that it was lost?

The gentleman was silent for a while, and did not respond, Wu Xing was a little uneasy, and hesitated, "If it's inconvenient to talk about it, forget it, I don't particularly want to know." ”

"Heh," sirted lightly, "there's nothing you can't say, but I don't think you can understand it." ”

"Linglong scholar is my nickname, the merry swordsman is another person, he became famous a few years earlier than me, named Li Fuwei, just because the two of us were like-minded at the beginning, at first sight, often appeared at the same time, and our titles were connected, he was also a whim at that time to take a show of talent, and others laughed at us and called us two talents. ”

After a pause, for some reason, Wu Xing felt that Mr. 's voice was a little low.

"Eight years ago, he came to me, saying that he had bullied someone else's daughter, and he didn't want to be responsible, and that man wanted to avenge his daughter and kill him. ”

Wu Xing smacked his tongue and said, "There are people who Mr. can't beat?"

"There are many capable people on the rivers and lakes, and there are many strong martial arts people, and I am just a drop in the ocean. He smiled bitterly and continued, "You may not know, I have a younger sister, not much different in age from me, we grew up together, since childhood to her very doted, if anyone dares to bully my sister, I will not be spared, I advise him to turn back as soon as possible, to be responsible for the girl, he is unwilling, I will use the wind as a guide to him, fan ruined, our friendship will be broken, he listened and left." ”

"And then?"

"When he left, he died. Cheng Yanqiu said a little stunned, "I don't know if he died because I didn't help him, or because he was destined to have this catastrophe." ”

"After the Wan Yan Song Fan was destroyed, I closed my door and never used any weapons again. ”

If it weren't for the birth of his sister's son, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get out until now, and he wouldn't have met Ah Wu. However, there is no need to say the latter sentence, when Ah Wu grows up, let her get along with her little nephew for a while and cultivate some feelings.

Wu Xing's heart was a little sour, it turned out that Mr. didn't use weapons, this is the reason, she secretly held Mr.'s fingers along the quilt, and said, "It doesn't matter if Mr. doesn't use weapons, I will learn martial arts in the future, and I will protect Mr." ”

Feeling a small temperature coming from his fingertips, Cheng Yanqiu felt comforted and said with a smile, "I don't need your protection yet, but I need you to protect another person." ”

"Who? I listen to my husband, and I will protect whoever he asks me to protect. Wu Xing looked serious.

"It's too early to tell, I'll tell you when the time comes. The gentleman pinched her fingertips and tucked the horns away for Wu Xing, "Now be obedient and sleep obediently." ”

Wu Xing obediently closed his eyes and said no more.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, in the late autumn night, the cold wind whistling and beating the window edge, the wooden eaves are being bullied and whining, and the sound of the husband is heard in the distance, which is scattered in the wind, almost inaudible.

"It's dryβ€”watch out for the candlesβ€”"

After knocking on the three watches, the old husband rubbed his eyes, yawned, and was about to go home to sleep, when he suddenly saw a shadow floating by in the night, and couldn't help but be a little scared, but he guarded the last professional ethics and dared to ask, "Who?"

A young man dressed in dark clothes walked in, with a round face and thin eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes and full of exhaustion, a folding fan pinned to his waist, and a red horse behind him, also hanging his head listlessly, like its owner.

There was silence on the street of the bluestone pavement, only the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves rattling, and the husband squinted his eyes and approached carefully, relieved that it was just a human being.

The man's clear young voice was a little hoarse, "Uncle, have you seen many people wearing black cloaks passing by?"

The husband thought about it, and in the evening he seemed to have seen such a group of people, and replied, "Yes." ”

He Shuke asked casually, but he didn't expect this old man to really see it, his peach blossom eyes instantly lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Where are they?"

"Seems to have stayed at the inn in town. The husband said with some uncertainty, "I don't know where I live." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you!" the young man trotted away, he regarded Cheng Yanqiu as an idol, naturally knew some of his habits, where to live, it must be the biggest and best inn!

He banged on the door of the inn, "Open the door!

A guy put on his clothes and held a candlestick to open the latch, looked at the young man in front of him who was obviously dressed as a Jianghu person, and said carefully, "This guest officer, we have closed ......"

He Shuke impatiently squeezed into the door, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand with the reins in his hand, "Go and call the cook to get me a bowl of Yangchun noodles!"

The rest of the man's words were held back, and he took the silver and the reins in a daze, and habitually responded, "Okay!"

Then he reacted, and when he saw that everyone had already loud himself, he took off the bench on the table and sat down, and he did not dare to squeak again, but honestly went to tie the horse and call the cook up.

"Oh yes, I want another upper room!"

The guy made a smile and flattered, "Guest officer, the room is gone today, don't you think it?"

He Shuke knocked his head with a fan and said to himself, "Yes, Mr. lives here, and the upper room must be gone." Holding his chin with both hands, he said lazily, "Forget it, any room can live in it." ”

"Hey! yes, I'll clean it up for you!" the guy replied happily, it was the first time he had seen such a good deal with the Jianghu people.
