love on the cloud

My master. "

"..."

My clothes were all wet, and I was shivering with the cold from the wind blowing in the corridor.I just want to go back and change into clean underwear, tuck into the quilt, and have a good sleep.

"Which way are you going?" Adura stopped me, "My son's bedroom is still not cleaned."

"..." I sighed weakly, almost in a pleading tone, "I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to go back first."

"Don't try to be lazy!" Adu grabbed me and refused to let me go, and yelled angrily, "You hit me and left the matter to me alone, do you really think I can't beat you?"

"..."

The bed was in a mess, with crumpled sheets, scattered clothes, and stains. It was clear at a glance how intense the emotion had just been here.

But even with such excitement, there was not a trace of blood on the bed.

Even though I tried my best to calm myself and not compare myself to this kind of thing, I still couldn't help but think of the desolation and despair that I woke up from the wet and cold bed, and when I touched it, my hands were covered with blood.

I have never begged for anything, and I have never harmed anyone.

Even if God only gives me a little warmth, just a little bit, I won't hate him so much at this moment.

After making the bed, the two walked out of the inner room.

Mr. Xi and Young Master wiped his hair with a dry cloth. They had just finished bathing, and the two of them were still damp. When they looked at each other and smiled, they looked like a couple of gods.

Seeing me, Mr. Qianqiu waved to me with a warm and moving smile.The blue color at the moment has faded, replaced by a light red, bright and incomparable.I put down the meal that has been warm.

"It smells so good." He sighed, and said to Xihe with a smile, "Didn't you just ask me why I punished you?"

"Punish you to feed me."

Xi He held Master Qianqiu's hand and put it on his lips to kiss, looked into Master Qianqiu's eyes with a smile and said, "Yes, I accept the punishment."

It's time for me to back off.

Mr. Qianqiu stopped me: "Arong, why are your clothes wet?"

The breast and hem of my gray robe became black after getting wet, which was very obvious.

"Arong is not careful."

He was obviously very dissatisfied with the coarse linen clothes I was wearing, and he even had a bit of resentment towards Xi He.

"Go down and change, don't catch the wind and cold."

"it is good."

When he closed the door, he heard Mr. Xi He's voice that seemed to be aggrieved.

"Why don't you care about me so much?"

I shook my head amusedly.

Passing by the door of the son's room under the peach blossom tree, staring at the little pink buds under the night in a daze.The peach blossoms in Kyoto will be in bloom in a few days, and the city will be filled with peach blossoms, which must be too beautiful to behold.

The butler came over.

"Mr. Steward."

"You pack up, we will go south in a few days."

"Where are you going?" I asked in surprise.

"At this time, you should answer 'yes', not 'where to'." Mr. Housekeeper frowned, "Why can't you teach for so many days?"

"Yes."

Jiangnan is beautiful.Ah Cai told me about it in Lan Yuan.

Brother Feng also said that the war has destroyed that place.

I read in the book that Jiangnan used to be the Nanjun country, a land of abundance, and a land of water and rice.

"Do you know where that is?"

The bird flapped its wings and flew away, and my eyes followed it all the way to the sky.

Rolling white clouds engulfed the blue sky.

I still remember that the son was wearing white clothes, lying on the edge of the lotus pond and smiling at me: "Why are you still like a child, talking to the birds?"

"Master Xihe is gone?"

"Ah."

"Young master, do you know Nanjun?"

"I know." The young master seemed to have remembered something, his eyes were far away, "My hometown is Nanjun."

The moment the young master talked about his hometown, I finally saw him. His expression was cleared away from the clouds and mist, and his handsomeness remained the same. His brows became very vivid and very kind.It seems that he has changed from a fairy to a mortal, after all, he is an ordinary person living in this world of mortals.

"That's great." I smiled at the young master, "I really hope I can go and see it one day."

The son's smile was covered with mist again.

☆, hit the road

When he left the capital, it was still dark and the young master was still awake, so he was carried into the carriage by young master Xihe and fell asleep.

Adu and I were sitting in a small carriage carrying luggage.

"You know how to drive?" I looked at Adu's small arms and legs, full of doubts.

"That's right." Adu obviously mistook the suspicion in my eyes for worship, and said with his nose up.

I was surprised and said: "It turns out that you are useful besides eating."

"Are you trying to fight?!"

I saw him looking at me like a little hedgehog, he was a little cute, so I smiled and didn't argue with him again.

The butler carried a small package and locked the door with the key. He stood still for a while, as if saying goodbye.

Two days ago, he dismissed a few servants, not even the gatekeeper. Presumably this house will not come back for many years.For someone his age, this is home.

He turned to find me looking at him.

My eyes were caught straight, and I shifted my eyes in embarrassment.

The butler didn't say anything, and went to the front to drive.

It was still early when we set off, and the sun came out when we reached a hillside, and Adu motioned me to look down the hill.

"Look!"

The sun is covering the whole of Kyoto, and I have never seen Kyoto from a high place.I always thought that Kyoto is so big that I can’t get out of it all my life, but now I find that Kyoto is very small, and I can see the end at a glance.

Even the imperial palace can be seen from a distance, the golden light is shining and dazzling.

"Wow, the palace!" Adu's voice was full of excitement, "That is the place where His Majesty the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Princesses and Princes live, and it is the most beautiful and luxurious place in the whole world."

My eyes hurt from the golden light, and my heart felt like someone had punched me, and it hurt so badly.

I wiped my tears with my sleeve.

"Why are you crying in the blue sky! Seeing the palace so happy?!"

"You think everyone is you, my eyes can't see the strong light, it hurts a lot."

"Arrogant and coquettish! Let me see." Adu leaned over and looked into my eyes carefully.

Adu's eyes suddenly widened so much that I was taken aback and didn't react in a daze.

"Strange." Adu looked at me from a distance, and then looked closer.

"what happened?"

I've always felt inferior to my appearance, and I never knew anyone uglier than myself when I grew up. Now that I'm being stared at with such appreciation, my face feels hot and my ears feel hot.

"your eyes."

"what happened?"

"The bead inside changes color like a fairy."

"Are you mistaken?" I backed away a little.

He looked at me again and said nothing more.

At noon, we stopped at a tea shed to rest.

I just saw the son come out with sleepy eyes.

"Morning son." I greeted him beamingly like every noon in Lanyuan.

"morning."

Mr. Xihe stood beside him, carefully putting on the bamboo hat for him.

"eat something."

"I don't want to wear this."

"Hey, I don't want other people to see what you look like."

I shuddered and backed away silently.

Mr. Xihe is indeed a master at telling love stories, my goosebumps trembled all over the floor.

In the tea shed there was only one Xiao Er who was dozing off.

I went to the carriage to get some dry food and snacks, and Ah Rong got out of the carriage to feed the horses.

The butler woke Xiao Er who was dozing off, and ordered a pot of tea and five bowls of noodles.

I saw that the quality of that side was not good, and I thought that the young master might not be able to eat it, so I went up to discuss it with the little one.

"My son is not going far away, he may not be used to eating, can you lend me a stove? I will pay for it."

The second brother is also a kind person: "Then I'm left alone, so you can do it."

"Thank you."

Fortunately, I made all the preparations before going out and brought out the dough.

Seeing me take out the dough and kitchen knife from the package, the second brother was surprised and said: "Bring your own knives and materials. Your posture is somewhat similar to that of Master Xiao."

I kneaded the dough and said with a smile, "Who is Chef Xiao?"

The second brother looked at me with an expression of "you don't even know who Chef Xiao is, why are you still alive".

"It's my first time traveling far."

"Chef Xiao, that's the most powerful chef in the most famous Xikelai restaurant in Yicheng. I heard that he once worked as an imperial chef. I'm not bragging. Last year, Xike came to show off his unique skills. Hey, better than you The current method is still fast, the knife is a brush!"

The little second brother talked happily, and I was happy to listen to these anecdotes. Of course, the work in hand did not slow down.

By the time he finished talking about God Chef Xiao marrying the most beautiful girl in Yicheng with his cooking skills, I had already made the noodles.

Xiao Er and I brought the noodles over.The housekeeper tried it with a silver needle without any trace, and then gave it to the two young masters.

Mr. Qianqiu is inconvenient to eat while wearing a bamboo hat, and it feels a little rude to eat with a bowl.

I smiled and said, "My lord, take off the bamboo hat, I'll cover it for you."

Master Qianqiu took off his bamboo hat, showing a slightly tired face. "Ah Rong still understands me." Then he turned his head and said to Mr. Xihe who was somewhat dissatisfied, "What are you staring at, eat quickly, and you will know the benefits of having a magic chef with you after eating."

I turned sideways to block the younger brother's curious gaze, but my eyes stayed on Mr. Xihe's chopsticks.

The chopsticks picked up the noodles and brought them to his lips.

I tugged at the hem of my clothes anxiously.

Mr. Xihe turned his head to talk to Mr. Qianqiu, his eyes did not stay on me for a second from the beginning to the end.

But I saw the slight arc of the corner of his mouth.

It was like seeing a small flower gently exploded from the peach tree in Mr. Xi He's yard.

Such a small flower seems to carry an undetectable joy.

☆、Meet Boss Xiao for the first time

Because the young master's nap at noon was delayed for a while, he couldn't catch up with the closing time of Yicheng's city gate, so he had to sleep in the open.

The young master was afraid of snakes and insects, so I took realgar powder and scattered it around the carriage as if I didn't want money.

The young master lifted the curtain from the carriage, covered his nose and said, "Don't sprinkle it on my side, I don't like the smell very much."

"But now that the climate is getting warmer, the snake just comes out hungry."

The young master laughed: "Xi He will never be able to deal with snakes."

I just nodded and walked away, feeling like I had done something stupid again.

Although they took a carriage to pack their luggage, they only brought two beds with thick quilts.Xi and son Qianqiu had one bed, and the housekeeper had another bed. Adu, as the housekeeper's adopted son, would naturally be able to tuck into the quilt and have a good night's sleep.

I sat by the fire, staring at the bright fire in a daze, adding a handful of firewood occasionally.

The front was scorchingly warm, but the back was shivering with cold.I turned around again, roasted my back, and then roasted my front.

I am amused by myself.

Like a roast.

In this way, it is uncomfortable to be roasted by the fire for a while.I simply leaned against the tree and stopped moving, looking up at the galaxy.

"Where are you looking at the stars?" The young master's gentle voice suddenly came from next to his ear.

"Young master? Why are you up?" The young master was wearing a moon-white plain robe and holding a blanket.

"I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night." Young Master put his finger on his lips, "Keep your voice down, Xi He is asleep."

I pursed my lips and nodded.

The son smiled happily and wrapped the blanket around me.

The blanket has a faint fragrance.I buried my face in the blanket, and the son stroked my hair, as if he didn't want me to look up.

He was clearly beside him, but the voice was far away.

"Why is your son treating me so well?"

"Arong."

I nodded and motioned for me to listen, thinking he was going to say something.

But he stopped talking.His hand didn't seem to leave until I fell into a deep sleep.

I haven't had a dream for a long time.

I was wearing a brocade robe, with a bell around my neck, running through a garden, a promenade, a steep slope, beautiful palace buildings everywhere, the bell around my neck made a nice crisp sound, I knew I was going On the steep slope, look for someone.

The running scene came to an abrupt end.

I'm back in that dark cabin again.

The silhouette of a woman is on the carved window, and outside the window are layers of palaces.

I know I'm dreaming, and I know I won't remember the dream when I wake up.

So I called her like every previous dream: "Mother Concubine!" But I couldn't make a sound.

The woman seemed to hear it, and slowly turned around.

The eyes are lonely.

"Rong'er."

"Come on!"

I woke up in a dream.

It was quiet all around, I was still covered with a blanket, the bonfire had been extinguished, only a little smoke remained, and the sky was white.

I rubbed my eyes and my head hurt.

Take the bucket to fetch water from the nearby river.

The river was covered with mist, and I was afraid of snakes, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, I dared not stay.

Turn back but dare not move again!

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

A snake thorn slid towards me, and I dared not move or shout.

Suddenly there was a breaking wind.The snake had its head fixed by a leaf.Mr. Xihe stood on the tree and looked at me expressionlessly.

"Many... Thank you, my lord."

"This is an ordinary grass snake, non-venomous."

I nodded in shock.

"Let's go." Young Master Xihe jumped off the tree and walked in front.

"Counting up, I've saved you three times." Young Master Xi He said suddenly.

"Young master's kindness, I will keep it in my heart."

"In other words, there are two more."

"what?"

"My martial arts practice is easy to get mad." He turned and looked at me, "Your physique is very suitable for me."

The surroundings are quiet, and the vegetation is sweet and floating, and I suddenly understand that this is an explanation for arriving very late.

"Yes." I replied, "I will leave after returning the son two more times."

"No need, Qianqiu likes you very much, you can always serve him by his side."

"Mr. Xihe." I interrupted him, "What I owe you, I will pay back. Those who owe you, Mr. Xihe, have to pay it off a long time ago. Ah Rong is stupid, he only wants to be clear of the world and his heart, and be an upright person." .”

Young Master Xihe just smiled, turned and left.

I looked at his back.

Ah Rong seeks to live up to his true heart and be an upright person.

I just hope that one day, I no longer have to look at his back, but stand in front of him majestically and say something.

You know, my son, I used to love you.

Although Yicheng is called a city, it was originally just a small town.Because it is close to Kyoto, many people come here to rest, and the streets are crowded and bustling, so it got the city title.Our two carriages could only walk slowly along the street.

"Huh?" I suddenly saw the Xi Ke Lai restaurant that my second brother told me about, and hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran to the front.

"Mr. Butler, I heard from my little brother that this Xike is here. The cook inside is a master chef. I think the taste is not bad. Why don't we have lunch here?"

Mr. Butler asked in the carriage, "My lord?"

Instead, the voice of Mr. Qianqiu came out: "Since he is a master chef, he must go to see it."

What should a divine chef look like?

Four 50 years old?Smiling?People who cook well are probably not bad at heart.

My son and the others went to the box, and I sneaked out to go to the back kitchen to take a peek at the legendary chef.

There was no master chef in the kitchen, only a young man in his 20s who scolded the kitchen helpers.

"Pour oil here and there. Use less oil, you idiot! You don't need money for oil!"

"Talking about you, talking about you! Why do you add so much meat! You don't need money for meat!!"

"What salt to add! Add some water to the bowl of soup just now!!! Salt is free!"

I:"....."

Just about to slip away quietly, I turned around and told my son that I came to the wrong restaurant, and I should change it!

Unexpectedly, someone grabbed the shoulder.

"Hey! Who are you?"

When they looked at each other, both of them were shocked.

I was frightened, I don't know why he shocked me.

"You you you..." He couldn't speak clearly.

"I, I, I..." I couldn't speak clearly.

"Where did you go, you idiot, Arong! The young master called you!" Fortunately, Adu came over and rescued me from this lunatic.

He couldn't help but look back at the man curiously.

The man stared at me blankly. . .Seeing me turn around, my eyes lit up, and I was about to chase after me.

I ran as fast as I could.

The author has something to say: Ah Rong is growing up!One day, from a weak subject to a strong one! (Arong: I don’t want to!!)

☆、Crazy?

After returning to the box, Mr. Qianqiu looked at me with a smile on his face: "What's so interesting?"

I took a look at the dishes on the table, and found that they were not bad in color and aroma. In addition, the shopkeeper was always standing aside obsequiously, and I couldn't utter the phrase "this is a black shop" from his mouth.

"I wanted to see what the chef looks like, but Ah Rong didn't have the good luck to meet him." I sighed regretfully.

Mr. Qianqiu: "It's too early to say whether it's a magic chef, you sit down and have a taste."

"How can this work?" I waved my hand in surprise.

Seeing my refusal, Mr. Qianqiu frowned. With his appearance, he can make people respond to their requests with a casual look, let alone looking at me with a little aggrieved look.

I had to sit down, and the housekeeper and Adu looked at me blankly, and I broke into a cold sweat in my heart.

"I'll try it for the young master first."

I raised my chopsticks and tasted all the dishes, then shook my head in disappointment.

"The taste is very ordinary. It seems that this chef has a false reputation."

Mr. Qianqiu smiled and said, "I think you, Ah Rong, are the only master chef in this world."

I immediately surrendered and said in embarrassment, "My lord, stop making fun of me!"

Master Xihe raised his chopsticks: "Let's eat, we have to hurry." He also picked up a piece of beef for Master Qianqiu.

Although he has a cold face and looks unreasonable, he is very caring and considerate to his lover.

The young master ignored him, just turned his head to look at me with a smile and said, "I still want to eat the dishes made by Ah Rong himself, please trouble Ah Rong."

Mr. Xi and Young Master paused for a moment when holding the vegetables.

The shopkeeper finally found a chance to speak.

"If the young master thinks that the food is poor in a small place, and you are not used to the dishes cooked by outsiders, then let the kitchen make a stove for your family if you are small."

Mr. Qianqiu smiled and thanked: "Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mr. Qianqiu is playing with his temper.

The shopkeeper took me and Adu and retreated silently with the shopkeeper.So I really don't understand these feelings and loves, and they were still gluey yesterday.

The shopkeeper led me to the kitchen and ordered a pot to be released for me to cook.

I was busy cutting and cooking vegetables in my hands.

Maybe it was after dinner time, and some helpers were idle, watching me around and whispering in a voice that I could hear.

"Good chopping technique."

"It looks familiar, but how old is this?"

"14, 15, he's still a yellow-haired boy."

Adu was a little annoyed: "What are you looking at, I haven't seen anyone cook!"

One of them got angry when he saw a child yelling nonsense, and immediately yelled back: "Look at the lack of meat, what are you pretending to be, isn't it just a servant who serves others?"

My chopping hand paused.

Speaking of which, Adu and I are slaves, and these people are commoners. Although we have better food and clothing, our status is really inferior.

Adu can bully and bully me by staying in the house on weekdays and avoid scolding others, but now he is choked and speechless.

I put the finished dishes on a plate and told Adu to put them in the food box so as not to get cold.Then he said politely to that person: "This master, don't care about my friend, he doesn't go out less, he doesn't speak well, he will offend me."

I learned this etiquette from the son, although it is only superficial, but it is enough in this well-flowing place.

The man was still shirtless, and it was really indecent to want to salute me back, so he could only walk away in embarrassment.

Adu looked at me in surprise.

I packed all the prepared dishes into the food box, and I was ready to leave with the food box.Unexpectedly, a person came in and blocked me.

It was that lunatic just now.

I lifted my legs and subconsciously wanted to run.

That madman stopped me.

"What are you running for?"

"you know me?"

"do not know."

"But I seem to have seen you."

Someone next to him said, "Hey, Master Chef knows this kid?"

god. . .Chef?

Adu was also shocked.

"Are you a chef?"

The person in front of him, with a pair of flirtatious peach blossom eyes and a high-spirited appearance, is completely a playboy, and he doesn't look like a master chef.

Being suspected and very dissatisfied, Master Chef said, "Why, don't you agree?"

When I think of what I just ate, I am really a little dissatisfied.How did this kind of person become a chef?

"This master chef, now I want to deliver lunch to my young master, if you are not convinced, can I ask you for advice later?"

I used the trick just now to deal with this person, but I didn't expect him to not buy it at all.

"I don't know which son doesn't even eat my Xiao's food, go, I will send it with you."

After speaking, he snatched my food box, walked away and almost turned around, looked at me in a daze and said, "Lead the way."

☆, don't look

I hurriedly caught up to grab the food box, and said anxiously: "God chef! Don't get me wrong, my son didn't mean to be picky. He's just used to my cooking."

The man didn't let go, but walked back suddenly, and said, "It's interesting, so, I'll make a dish myself, and you can serve it to your young master to see if he can eat it or not."

The people next to him cheered: "These spoiled sons, you can't eat the food cooked in the countryside."

It turns out that this is why they are so hostile to us.

I stopped Adu who wanted to stop him.

I said to him, "There are so many people here, be patient."

Chef Xiao has a contented expression, but his work is very fast.

Soon, an ordinary egg fried rice will be ready.

"Would you like to taste it first?" Chef Xiao took out a small dish and handed it to me.

This plate of fried rice looked so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. I thought to myself that I should praise it even if it was not delicious.

but!What I didn't expect was!

"How is it?" Chef Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at me triumphantly.

I saluted sincerely.

"Thank you sir for your advice."

"I can't talk about advice, but I'm just telling you that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people." Xiao Shenchu ​​pinched my cheek and murmured doubtfully, "It's really strange, I must have met you somewhere."

I learned a lesson. Although I didn't understand the last sentence, I stopped talking, put the egg fried rice in the food box, thanked me and left.

Adu didn't eat it, so he was very curious about the taste.

"I don't know what it tastes like, but my mind is full of delicious food."

Adu became even more curious, eager to see the fried rice in the food box, I couldn't help but pat him on the head in front of the food box: "If you have leftovers, I will give you all to eat."

Back to the box in front, the shopkeeper stood at the door, saw us and said angrily, "Why did it take so long?"

Adu clenched his fists indignantly: "That master chef made things difficult for us... Aww! Why are you pinching me, Arong!"

Me: "Go ahead, the young master is hungry."

Entering the room, the two were still smiling while the other was cold, but the atmosphere was much better.

I put the bowls and chopsticks on and said, "The food on the table just now was not made by the chef. He personally made a plate of fried rice for the young master. You two young masters may as well try it."

Mr. Qianqiu came up with an interest: "It's delicious?"

I smiled and nodded: "I just tasted it, it's rare and delicious."

I divided the fried rice into two bowls.

Mr. Qianqiu took a sip, he didn't like hard rice very much, but after chewing it a few times, he took another big sip.

"It's really delicious." He smiled, took a square handkerchief beside him and wiped his mouth, seeing that Mr. Xihe didn't move, "Xihe, would you like to try it?"

Although Mr. Qianqiu has been smiling these few days, he seldom looks so energetic.

Young Master Xihe couldn't bear to let him down, so he also took a sip.

The housekeeper said unkindly: "Young master doesn't like egg food, so don't force it."

Young Master Xi and stopped eating after one bite: "No problem."

"Sorry Xi He, I don't know." Mr. Qian Qiu apologized guiltily.

Eyes shimmered slightly, making people intoxicated.

Mr. Xihe put his arms around Mr. Qianqiu, and said softly, "It's okay, it's delicious."

The appearance of these two people is extremely outstanding, together they are a fairy picture scroll.

I think they can prolong their lives after watching more.

Egg fried rice was almost finished by Mr. Qianqiu alone.

Adu watched the plate gradually empty, showing a disappointed expression.

After lunch, continue on your way.

I sat in the carriage and looked back.

The divine chef stood at the door of the restaurant and waved to me.I also waved vigorously at him and shouted: "God Chef, if there is a chance, I will come to ask you again."

What did he seem to say?I didn't catch it.

The butler in front swung his whip, the carriage accelerated, and the figure of the chef became smaller and smaller.

I asked Adu, he was still sad about the egg fried rice that he didn't eat, "What did the chef say just now? Did you hear that?"

"It seems to be goodbye or something. I didn't understand it. It's a farewell anyway."

I think so too.

The scenery on the road would make me tired after seeing it. I sat in the pony carriage and read it with a collection of strange stories, while Adu stared blankly in a daze.

After the novelty of the journey is over, the rest is what to pass the time.

Fortunately, I borrowed a few books from the young master before, and they were not boring, but the carriage was not stable, and my eyes hurt after reading it for a while.

Since we passed through Yicheng last time, we have not been to towns, and occasionally we can see villages but not close.It doesn't seem to be the official way.

I was always worried that I would encounter bandits or something, but Adu happily shouted: "Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on two, come on and make a pair!"

Me: "Just you?"

Adu stretched his legs: "It's just me! I'm also good at something!"

In order to prove that he was good at something, he jumped a few times on the carriage, and one of them accidentally fell to the ground. Not only did he fall into the mud, but he was also scolded by the housekeeper. I couldn't be happier.

did not expect!My crow mouth!Really met.

One night, I still slept outside.

The weather is getting warmer, and you can watch the sky full of stars while sleeping outside, which is more comfortable than sleeping in a stuffy carriage.

It was a peaceful and quiet night, but I heard unusual footsteps.

Bandit?

robber?

Thief?

"Who?" I yelled.

"There's a child outside! Kill it or not!" Several black figures appeared beside the campfire, holding swords in their hands.

"My lord!" I knew that the visitor was not kind, so I ran towards the carriage.

But I was grabbed by someone, and the big knife was slashed towards my neck.

I close my eyes tightly.

I thought I really had to explain it here!

The big knife did not come over for a long time.

Then a pair of slightly cool hands covered my eyes, and the sound of a sword piercing my body came from my ears, as well as the strong smell of blood.

I knew that the son was behind him, and he had a familiar fragrance.

"Don't look."

When Mr. Qianqiu carried me into the carriage, I hadn't reacted yet.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's over."

So gentle, it pulled me back from the cold.

Open your eyes.

Mr. Xihe stood among the corpses, while the housekeeper and Adu looked at the corpse of the man in black.

"Master, it's the Blood Shadow Building."

"You're freaking out, you're in a cold sweat."

"They... who are they? Are they from Kyoto?"

The young master smiled lightly and shook his head: "I don't know either."

"But..."

The boy put his hand on my lips.

"Hush, sleep well, and you'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow." The young master said to me in a voice like coaxing a child.

Although I was afraid, I was not in a position where I couldn't face it.But looking at the young master's caring eyes, I couldn't say anything to refute.

The sky is full of fire, and people are killing people everywhere.

I ran in a daze.

Running down a steep slope, down a long corridor, surrounded by beautiful palaces burning, I knew I was going to find someone.

That person has autumn-like eyes and the most gentle voice in the world.

He was standing at the gate of the palace and had seen him.

I'm about to call out his name.

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

But the voice was suppressed in his throat, and he could only watch helplessly as the man was submerged in bloody flames.

I don't know how long I was in a coma?

When he woke up, he found himself lying on the pony carriage, and he could still see the back of Adu's head when he turned his face sideways.

I don't want to call him.He stared at the top of the pony carriage in a daze.

My heart is inexplicably blocked.

Must have had a bad dream.

☆、Chapter 15

In the next few days, men in black were assassinated every day. I hid in the car, but I was not afraid.

Young Master Xihe is very strong.

Even when one person is facing more than a dozen enemies, he has no timidity. He dances the sword cleanly, killing people in a blink of an eye, and there is no blood on the edge of the sword when he withdraws it.

I walked towards him with water, he always had to wash clean before getting into the car to see Mr. Qianqiu, he wiped the blood on his face and asked me: "Are you afraid?"

I shook my head.

"My lord is not afraid at all, what am I afraid of?"

"..." He didn't speak, just looked at me suspiciously.

Fortunately, the butler pulled the horse.

In order to speed up the journey, we abandoned a carriage, Mr. Xihe also rode a horse, the housekeeper and Adu drove, and Mr. Qianqiu and I sat in the car.

The boat and the car were exhausted, Mr. Qianqiu was not in good health, he was already sick from exhaustion, he asked wearily in the car: "Have you dealt with it?"

"Ah."

"How long until Jiangnan?"

"There are still two more days." Young Master Xihe put down his veil and got on his horse, "Be patient."

"Arong, get in the car and let's go." The butler called me.

I think, when you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, you can enter Yangzhou city.

Unexpectedly, that night, I got separated from them.

When another group of black masked men attacked, I went around to collect firewood.When I went back with the branches in my arms, I only saw corpses lying here and there. The ground was stained brown with blood, and I lay on the sidelines to vomit.

I vomited for a while, and I wanted to go farther with weak legs, but I was afraid that the son would not find me when he came back, so I endured the fear and waited for a long time, not daring to fall asleep or leave.

It wasn't until I was so hungry that I almost forgot my fears that I realized they weren't coming back for me.

I fell beside the cold corpse, and watched with them as the stars replaced the sun once more.

I stood up and muttered to myself, talking to them like a madman.

"Why do you do this kind of murder?"

"Don't you have parents? Let them know that your dead bodies are in this wilderness."

"I don't want to die here with you."

"I don't want to die."

"I don't know if you have silver taels on you. I will borrow it from my younger brother. You won't need it anyway."

It really made me find and pay back a few money bags.

I followed the direction of the axle and left in the night.

I could no longer tell the direction, and ran amok in the woods, afraid of snakes, wolves, and even jumped up because of a hare.The mountain wind howled, and there were wolves howling all around.The branches were shadowy, as if there were men in black hiding everywhere who would take my life at any time.

until I passed out again.

until I woke up again.

I am not dead.

The sky was dark white, and I heard my breathing, soft and heavy.

I just feel my breath and watch the sky turn blue and the sun come up.

That is the most beautiful and best blue I have ever seen.

Even with my eyes closed, I can see so clearly.

I want to live.

Not a single spot of my tattered clothes was clean.I also lost a few money bags, but fortunately, the money bag with the gold leaf is still there.

The weather was fine and I could hear the sound of running water.

I was thirsty and hungry, so I decided to go to the river first, drink some water, and catch a fish if I was lucky.

As they got closer, they heard the sound of fighting.

I held my breath and hid behind the roots of a big tree.Hope they don't hurt innocent people.

"Chu Zhe!"

It's the son's voice! !

I stretched out my head, and the scene in front of me almost made me exclaim.

The sick young master, the fairy-like young master, now looked like Shura holding up a sword and piercing into the chest of Young Master Xihe.

Big mouthfuls of blood flowed out from Xihe's mouth.

He looked at Qianqiu, his eyes were red, and he was in great pain: "You betrayed me."

He knelt on the ground, pointing the sword at Qianqiu.

But it didn't go in.

Qianqiu's face was as cold as jade, and his whole body seemed to have stepped out of hell. He said word by word: "The hatred of destroying the country cannot be shared. Everyone in the Chu family must pay for my Nanjun."

He drew out his sword, blood splashed all over his face, Xi
