Baishou loses Shaohua

In the early morning of the second day, Xuanlie and Ye Nanqing boarded a boat at the port of Lingcheng. They planned to go down the Lingjiang River, first to Linzhou, and then go overland from Linzhou to Qiongcheng, and then go to the city in Qunzhou. Jiuyan Valley deep in the mountains.

The boat had just left the shore less than ten meters away, when shouts came from the shore.

"Ye Nanqing! Ye Nanqing!"

Ye Nanqing, who was originally at the bow of the ship, heard the sound coming to the stern, and saw Yun Xin constantly shouting and waving to him on the shore.

"Stop the boat!" Ye Nanqing hurriedly ordered to the front. He saw Yun Xin squeezed out from among the porters, and hurried to the boarding path at the pier.

"Ye Nanqing, I'll go with you!" Yun Xin stood there and called out to Ye Nanqing.

"Nonsense!" Ye Nanqing's face turned cold, "Go back quickly!" He didn't know his life and death in this trip, so how could he take Yun Xin to take this risk.

"Let the boat come back, and I'll go with you!" Yun Xin stomped anxiously on the other side.

"Go back right away!" Ye Nanqing yelled at Yun Xin and then ignored it, and yelled at the boatman in front, "Let's go!"

Seeing that the boat continued to move forward, Yun Xin's face changed with anxiety: "Ye Nanqing, if you don't take me there, I'll just jump off here!"

Ye Nanqing turned her head away from him.

"Aren't you worried?" Xuan Lie on the side frowned.

"Worried that he will really dance?" Ye Nanqing smiled and shook his head, even he himself didn't know whether he was telling Xuan Lie or himself, "No, who is Yun Xin? Veteran, is he really reluctant to part with Ye Nanqing? Even if he is, it will be fine after a while."

As soon as Ye Nanqing finished speaking, there was an exclamation from the pier not far away, followed by a "plop", Ye Nanqing and Xuan Lie turned their heads in astonishment at the same time, Yun Xin was no longer on the shore.Seeing Yun Xin struggling in the water and about to sink, Ye Nanqing panicked and shouted hysterically to stop the boat, threw her golden fan aside and was about to jump down.

But before he could move, a person rushed out from the bank.

Ji Yinghan was dressed in white, with a qin wrapped in white cloth on his back, he tiptoed lightly across the crowd and rushed straight to the water, grabbed Yun Xin's shoulder with his right hand and dragged him out of the water, then stepped on his toes with force. Crossing the water waves, they rushed straight towards the boat where Ye Nanqing and Xuan Lie were on.

Before the second exclamation from the shore fell, Ji Yinghan was already standing at the stern of the boat holding Yun Xin, who was covered in water.He put Yun Xin lightly on the deck, and punched Yun Xin's chest several times with his right fist, squeezing out the water he had choked on.

Ye Nanqing stepped forward and knelt down in front of Yun Xin, pressing her trembling hands to Yun Xin's cold cheeks.

Yun Xin opened his eyes. He looked at Ye Nanqing's face that was about to cry, the corners of his mouth curled up, and then he fainted again.

"It's too cold, please trouble Master Ye to help Yun Xin warm up." Ji Yinghan reminded him.

"Yes, yes." Ye Nanqing finally woke up, nodded hastily, and ignored Yun Xin's wet and cold body, hugged him tightly and went straight to the cabin.

Xuan Lie looked at Ji Yinghan, carefully suppressing the joy in his heart, he never thought that he would see him again.

"Master Ji's clothes are also wet, please change them, or you will catch a cold."

Ji Yinghan looked at his clothes and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"I'll take Master Ji to the room." Xuan Lie led the way.

"I'm sorry." Ji Yinghan followed behind.

When Ji Yinghan changed his clothes and walked out of the cabin, Xuanlie was standing on the poop deck blowing the air, his black robe fluttering in the wind.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and asked, "Is Mr. Ji going to see Yun Xin?"

Ji Yinghan shook his head: "No."

"Not worried?" Seeing his eagerness when he rushed out of the crowd just now, one should know how much he cares about Yun Xin.

"He should be fine. Besides, even if he wakes up, I'm probably not the person he wants to see the most."

"That's right." Xuan Lie nodded slightly, jokingly, "I seldom admire anyone, but Yun Xin is really one of them."

Ji Yinghan couldn't help but frowned at these words, and frowned slightly.

This was the first time Xuan Lie saw Ji Yinghan smile, his frozen face suddenly softened, his unparalleled eyes reflected the sparkling water of the river, it was really beautiful.

But this is only a moment, fleeting, making people feel even more precious.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yinghan realized that Xuan Lie had been staring at him.

"You look beautiful when you smile." Xuan Lie said bluntly.

Ji Yinghan froze for a moment, and didn't reply anymore.

"How is Young Master Ji's injury?" Xuan Lie's eyes fell on Ji Yinghan's left shoulder.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Ji Yinghan's answer was polite but distant.

Xuan Lie didn't mind, and continued: "The sword technique that Young Master Ji used last night is quite mysterious, I don't know what sect or sect you are from."

"It was left by my father, but it's a pity that I haven't realized the essence."

"So that's how it is." Seeing the exquisite swordsmanship, Xuan Lie thought that Ji Yinghan's father should have been a well-known figure in the Jianghu, but after thinking about it, there was not a single one of the dead masters that he had heard of in the Jianghu all these years. His surname was Ji, and he was afraid of mentioning Ji Yinghan's sad things, so he didn't ask any further questions.Thinking about that night, Ji Yinghan's last sword move almost accidentally injured himself, probably because he was eager to practice sword before his injury healed.What a brave person, Xuan Lie thought to himself.

The weather in early spring was quite cold, and the river was windy. Xuan Lie saw that Ji Yinghan's clothes were a little thin, so he said, "It's freezing cold, I wonder if Mr. Ji would like to sit down in the next room."

"it is good."

Xuan Lie's room was next to the room that Ji Yinghan had just placed. He opened the door and reached out to make a gesture of invitation, and Ji Yinghan walked in.

This is the cruise ship that the Ye family usually uses. Ye Nanqing is a person who knows how to enjoy himself. The decorations on the ship are all exquisite and complete.Xuan Lie went to get boiling water to make tea, and when he came back, he had an extra hand stove in his hand.

"This boat was originally used in spring and summer, and there was no charcoal stove for heating. This time, I left in a hurry and only brought a few small hand stoves. Young Master Ji will just let it go."

Ji Yinghan took over the stove, and a warmth spread from his hands to his whole body.He has always disliked charcoal stoves, but this small and delicate hand stove is very comfortable to hold in his hand.

Xuan Lie sat opposite Ji Yinghan and poured tea for him, chatting with him casually.Ji Yinghan is a man of few words. He is used to being alone at ordinary times, so few people talk to him so much.But fortunately Xuan Lie is not a noisy person, and he also has a gentleman's style when talking and chatting. Ji Yinghan answered a few words when he was young and kept silent for a long time, and Xuan Lie was not annoyed.

In the middle of the night, someone hurriedly tapped on Ji Yinghan's door.

"Young master Ji! Young master Ji!" It was the young man who followed Ye Fu.

"What's the matter?" Ji Yinghan opened the door.

"Master Yunxin has a high fever and is talking nonsense. The young master asked me to come to you."

"What's the matter, didn't you wake up during the day?"

"I don't even know the little one, but suddenly..."

Ji Yinghan went back to the room to take something, Xuanlie heard the sound, and followed Ji Yinghan to Ye Nanqing's room.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I heard a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

"Immediately! Go get another dose of fever-reducing medicine!" Ye Nanqing's voice was restless, and the servant hurriedly nodded and ran out, afraid of being hurt by the master's anger.

"Nanqing, calm down first." Xuan Lie stepped forward to comfort Ye Nanqing.

Yun Xin frowned tightly, his cheeks were abnormally red due to the high fever, the hair on his forehead was already wet with sweat, and his chapped lips were trembling, not knowing what he was saying.

Ji Yinghan reached out and touched Yun Xin's hot forehead, his brows furrowed deeply.

Yun Xin suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Ji Yinghan's icy wrist, holding it tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Get a glass of water." Ji Yinghan ordered without looking back.

Ye Nanqing hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to Ji Yinghan. Ji Yinghan put the tea bowl on the edge of the bed, reached into his bosom and took out a small medicine bottle. He wanted to open it but Yun Xin held his other hand to death The dead can't break free.Seeing this, Xuan Lie immediately took it from Ji Yinghan's hand.

"One." Ji Yinghan said briefly.

Xuan Lie poured out a white pill and put it in Ji Yinghan's palm. Ji Yinghan tested the temperature of the water and said to Ye Nanqing, "Pinch his mouth open."

Ye Nanqing pinched Yun Xin's mouth open as she said, and Ji Yinghan fed the pill in, then gave Yun Xin a sip of water and sent the pill down, seeing that Yun Xin swallowed without any problem, he also fed the last half cup.

"Continued Cup."

Xuan Lie took the tea bowl from Ji Yinghan's hand, filled it with water at the table and handed it back.

"Brother..." Yun Xin's small murmur made Ji Yinghan freeze in mid-air when he was feeding water. His hand trembled violently as if being pricked by a needle, and half a glass of water splashed on the bed.

Xuan Lie immediately took the towel that was put aside and wiped it clean. When he looked up, he saw Ji Yinghan's face was pale, and the guilt and pain in his eyes hadn't had time to hide.

After feeding the water for a while, the abnormality on Yun Xin's face gradually subsided, but his brows were still on, as if he was having a sad dream.He kept murmuring the word "brother", every time he murmured, Ji Yinghan's face became paler.All of this can be seen in Xuanlie's eyes.

Ji Yinghan guarded Yun Xin for a long time, until his fever had completely faded and he fell asleep peacefully, then gently opened his hands and got up to leave.Xuan Lie comforted the exhausted Ye Nanqing, and followed Ji Yinghan out of the cabin.

The night wind was bitter, Ji Yinghan supported the upper edge of the side plank of the boat with both hands, looking at the deep and dark river water in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.Xuan Lie stepped forward, took off his outer robe and put it on Ji Yinghan's body. He was worried that Yun Xin was leaving in a hurry, so he only had time to put his outer robe on.

The remaining warmth on the robe made Ji Yinghan hesitate, but in the end he didn't refuse.

"Thank you."

Xuanlie stood quietly beside Ji Yinghan, and accompanied him to look into the distance.There is no moon tonight, Ji Yinghan's face is hidden in the darkness and no expression can be seen.

"I owe him too much." Amid the clear sound of wind and waves, Ji Yinghan's voice was a little fuzzy.The pain in his heart has been suppressed for a long time, and Xuanlie seems to be the outlet he desperately needs to find.

Xuanlie naturally knew that "he" referred to Yunxin.

"He has a twin brother." Ji Yinghan's eyes reflected the entire river, far and deep, "He died because of me..."

"His father also died because of it." Ji Yinghan's voice still did not fluctuate, but it made Xuan Lie feel unspeakably distressed.

Dead relatives, vendettas, debts.

Xuan Lie didn't know how much pain Ji Yinghan had to bear that he didn't know.

At this moment, he suddenly thought...

A pair of hands lightly pressed Ji Yinghan's shoulders, and before he could react, he was brought into a warm embrace, and the voice beside his ears was as soft as a sigh.

"Don't carry so much alone, it's too tiring..."

Ji Yinghan seemed to have received a heavy punch, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, unable to recover for a long time.

He has always been taught that he must remember his identity and his hatred.So he took it all as his own responsibility.He practiced martial arts hard in order to one day be able to avenge his revenge.He tried his best to avoid being chased and killed by his enemies in order to survive and complete his revenge.He treats Yun Xin like his own brother in order to repay the debt that can never be repaid.He never thought it was wrong, he always thought it was what he should do.No matter suffering or pain, he should bear it, and he should bear it.

No one had ever asked him if he was so tired.

And in this cold night, this person embraced him with the warmth he had long forgotten, and whispered in his ear—"Don't carry so much by yourself, it's too tiring..."

This person unexpectedly shook the line of defense in his heart time and time again with ease. He used his most resistant but most irresistible method to smash his original solid indifference to pieces.

Xuan Lie felt that Ji Yinghan's stiff body was slowly relaxing in his arms, his arms carefully avoided Ji Yinghan's left shoulder injury, and slowly hugged him tighter.

From the first time he saw him, he was amazed by him. There were too many secrets hidden in him that made him curious, and there were too many pains that made him feel distressed.Now, he finally embraced him in his arms, and even he himself didn't know why he was so obsessed with one person.

There are too many things, there is no way to understand, and there is no way to find the source.Impulse or throbbing, just in that split second.
