landslide

?Thick clouds covered the sun, and all of a sudden the slight warmth disappeared. The cold snapped, and they hurriedly tightened their clothes and went down the mountain.Descending the mountain was much smoother than going up. When Huai Jun reached the foot of the mountain, when he looked back at the pavilion that was no longer visible on the top of the mountain, he was so reluctant to part with him, and would rather stay there with Chen Pu for a few more days.

With a sudden "sneeze", those emotions and melancholy came to an abrupt end, and I immediately returned to reality—in such a cold day, I should go back to the inn quickly and put on a charcoal stove to keep warm.

When they returned to the city of Yangzhou, the sky was already yellow, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came in front of the two of them, as if they were going to kneel down, Chen Pu and Huai Jun looked at each other in surprise, and shouted repeatedly, excuse me, excuse me.Then came the guards who had been following them for the past few days. The expression on their faces was wonderful. From frowning and worrying to relaxing to smiling, it was all in an instant. .

It turned out that they got up early in the morning and waited for Huaijun and the others to go out. After waiting for a long time, they didn't see anything before they realized something was wrong. They hurriedly opened the door, but the person had disappeared.They had no choice but to go to the government, reveal their identities and Huai Jun, and then send out their hands to find them.

Although there were few pedestrians on the street, Huai Jun still didn't want to cause a commotion, so he took a group of people aside, appreciated a few words, and ordered them to disperse.The officer and soldier at the head said: "Master Wei didn't know that the Holy Majesty came from afar, so he specially arranged a banquet for..." Before he finished speaking, Huai Jun refused: "Okay, I don't pay attention to these red tapes, and you will find it hard all day long." Already, you can go to the banquet for me."

The officers and soldiers still wanted to persuade Huai Jun, but the clever guards took them away.When Huai Jun turned his head to look at Chen Pu, his whole body trembled, he hurriedly stopped two of the guards, stayed where he was and waited for his order, and then strode towards Chen Pu.

At that time, Chen Pu was staring at the front in a daze, and as soon as he felt Huai Jun approaching, he immediately grabbed his wrist and said nervously, "Are they staring at me? Why are they staring at me?"

Huai Jun followed his line of sight and saw a man without a left hand in front of him holding out his right hand, blocking another man with an angry face.The night was dark, and he couldn't see their faces clearly. It wasn't until the one who had lost his left hand turned his head that he realized it was Song Leyu and Zhao Tianbao!

"Pu'er, you, him..." Huai Jun struggled to squeeze out one or two words from his throat, but it was difficult to form a sentence.

Chen Pu was made more nervous by his reaction, and the hand holding his wrist became more and more forceful, as if trying to suppress something, "Huaijun, do you know them? Why are they staring at us?"

Upon hearing this, Huai Jun immediately summoned the two guards and ordered: "Take Mr. Chen and go back to the inn first." Then he whispered in Chen Pu's ear: "It's okay, I know you, I'll just go and have a look. " After finishing speaking, he released Chen Pu's hand that was holding him tightly, patted his head, and pushed him back in front of him.

There seemed to be a voice in Chen Pu's heart urging him to go, so he followed the two guards along with his own heart, but he had to look back every two steps.

It wasn't until he finally walked away that Huai Jun stabilized his mind and walked towards Song Leyu in a calm manner.It was only twenty steps away from them that they realized how degraded they were.

They wore simple clothes, each of them only wore a gray cotton padded jacket in winter, Song Leyu's left sleeve was still empty, and when the wind blew, the sleeves would wobble, which was very sad to see.They stood among two or three wooden tables and seven or eight wooden chairs. There were several bowls on the table, and a stall was set up behind it, and the heat curled up.Huai Jun sighed in his heart, the son of the Song family back then became a street food seller.

Five steps away, Huai Jun heard Zhao Tianbao yell at Song Leyu, "You still have to protect him! Just protect him, I don't care about you!"

Song Leyu chased him and yelled a few words, but all he could see was an angry back, he scratched his head helplessly and turned back, Huai Jun was already standing in front of him, he hurriedly said: "The villain sees the Holy One."

"This is not the imperial palace, so Young Master Song just shouted——Third Young Master is fine." Huai Jun's tone was gentle. In this situation, it would be too disgusting to use the tit-for-tat in the palace that day.

"Then, please sit down, Third Young Master." After finishing speaking, Song Leyu used his remaining hand to sweep the dust on the wooden chair, so that Huai Jun could sit down, and he sat down on the other side casually.

Huai Jun covered his mouth and "coughed"; after a sound, he asked in embarrassment: "Your hand..." After three words, he couldn't bear to ask any more, only thinking of the nails that Chen Pu received that day——

If it really belonged to Song Leyu, who would torture him like this in order to drive a wedge between him and Chen Pu?He was about to ask what happened, but Song Leyu smiled lightly.

"It's abolished, if you can't keep it, you have to cut it off." Song Leyu showed no resentment at all, and thanked Huai Jun: "Fortunately, the third son spared my life that day, so I can spend the rest of my life with Tianbao."

If it is said to be open, he will not be too open.Thinking of this, Huai Jun actually felt guilty, and asked with concern: "Isn't this a difficult time?"

"The hardest time is over. Tianbao can get through anything by my side, just work hard for him to take care of me." While speaking, Song Leyu kept looking at Zhao Tianbao who was packing up, "But it's all over."

Huai Jun also followed him and looked at Zhao Tianbao's busy figure. With a move in his heart, he took out a money bag from his arms and put it in front of Song Leyu. Just accept it as a favor from Puer and me, it’s winter, it’s good to add an extra piece of clothing for yourself or Tianbao.”

"If I dare to accept it, Tianbao will lose his temper with me again. He still can't let it go." Song Leyu laughed and pushed the purse away.

"Pu'er couldn't let it go either. At that time we were arguing and arguing every day." Huai Jun smiled bitterly, and as soon as his head heated up, he poured out the troubles of these days, "He went on a hunger strike, and I forced him to eat, but the food he ate was nothing. He vomited up; he ran away, so I caught him back; I didn’t want him to hurt me, so he hurt himself. But it’s so difficult to keep him by my side.”

"No matter how difficult it is, it will be successful. After all, Apu has you in his heart."

Huai Jun shook his head and breathed out, "He forgot, he forgot all about those three years."

Song Leyu opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise: "How come?" Then he nodded, sighed for a while, and murmured: "No wonder he saw us but left, so he didn't remember."

"This world, do you think I would rather he remember it or forget it?" After asking, he answered by himself, "I don't know either."

Only then did Song Leyu realize that Huai Jun who was sitting in front of him today did not have the vigor of the past, and seemed to have been worn out by Chen Pu.He thought for a while, and then said: "I will remember when it's time. It's rare that the third son is willing to let go of his business and go to Yangzhou with Apu. I believe that Apu will forgive the third son when he thinks about everything in the future."

"I hope so." Huai Jun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, stood up, tightened his clothes and started to leave, "It's getting late, and I won't bother you. Mr. Song, we will see you again by fate."

When he returned to the inn, Chen Pu had already packed his luggage.The two had dinner together, washed up a bit, and went to bed.Before going to bed, Chen Pu asked, "Who are those two?"

"It's just an old friend, you know it too."

Chen Pu thought about it and couldn't come up with a clue. He frowned and said, "Then why are they staring at me? Don't they like me?"

After listening, Huai Jun laughed a few times, and hugged Chen Pu tightly, "Silly Pu'er, they didn't stare at you. You are so nice, they will not dislike you."

"Okay then, let's go to sleep." He whispered in Huaijun's ear, "You remember what you promised me, don't go back on it!"

"Ha! Do you want to pull the hook?"

"pull!"

The two stretched their hands in the air, and raised their little fingers to pull the hook.Afterwards Chen Pu fell into a deep sleep, Huai Jun looked at his peaceful sleeping face and closed his eyes calmly.
