Yarn in the pot

Chapter 13 12

It was an accident that really allowed Ning Ning to get in close contact with Liu Shu.

That day, Liu Shu went out for an outing as usual; Ning Ning and other guards followed and protected as usual.

But unlike usual, this time Liu Shu was really in danger.

Liu Shu was enjoying the beautiful natural scenery such as fragrant flowers and green grass in a rare valley, but suddenly a man in black wearing a mask jumped out of nowhere and rushed towards him with a sharp knife in his hand!

"...Ah!!!" Liu Shu, who had never faced such a situation before, suddenly turned pale with fright.

"Young Master, be careful!!" Ning Ning, who was closest to Liu Shu at that time, immediately drew out his sword, rushed over and blocked Liu Shu.

With a sound of "shua", the tip of the man in black's knife had already scratched Ning Ning's shoulder, leaving a deep bloodstain.

"...!! Are you okay?!" Liu Shu was even more frightened.

At this moment, other guards also surrounded him one after another, fighting with the gangster in black.

The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all skilled, so they quickly subdued the villain, and it was finally a false alarm.

However, for Ning Ning, it can be said that it was pie in the sky - he has since become Liu Shu's savior.

From the day they returned home, Liu Shu has been watching his injuries by his bedside.

"Brother, thank you so much! Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here safely!" Liu Shu said to Ning Ning sincerely, "I don't know what is your last name?"

Ning Ning smiled and said: "I'm two years younger than you, why do you call me big brother? I don't have a name, my name is Ning Ning, you can just call me A Ning."

"...Ah, you are younger than me?" Liu Shu looked at Ning Ning's weather-beaten face and body in disbelief. Thank you very much this time." He thanked again.

"It's all right, it's just a slave's job to protect the young master." Ning Ning felt a little funny, indeed, not only did he look older than Liu Shu, but he was actually thousands of years old. Far more mature than Liu Shu.

Liu Shu frowned, "You don't want to be a slave, you are my benefactor now!"

Condensed smiled and said: "The rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion are still to be followed, the slave just made a slip of the tongue just now."

"Rules are also made by people!" Liu Shu said seriously, "I said you are not a slave, you are not!"

"Okay, then I'm not." Ning Ning smiled and obeyed him.

"...Wait a minute!" Hearing this, Shen Motong couldn't help interrupting Cao Feng's narration, "After a long time, I finally became my master, but in the end you became my benefactor, aren't you superior? !"

Cao Feng smiled and shook his head, "According to the logic of most people at that time, it was indeed a duty for a slave to save his master, and he was still a slave if he saved [-] times, but he could get more rewards. It's just that you are an equal treater." You are a kind person who thinks that way. Just listen to me and you will know how pure and kind you are. "

"Oh……"

Shen Motong continued to listen.

Seeing that Liu Shu's brows always seemed to have a hint of sadness at that time, Ning Ning couldn't help asking: "Young master, why does he seem a little unhappy? Are you still worried about my injury? Don't worry, it's just a skin trauma. There is no muscle injury, and it will be fine in two days."

"It's not just this..." Liu Shu sighed, "I just can't figure it out, why did this happen? Who is that person, and why did he want to kill me?"

"This..." Ning Ning said with a wry smile, "It's really a pity that the man ran away and couldn't be arrested for a proper interrogation."

"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Liu Shu shook his head again and again, "What I mean is, I have always been very polite and considerate to others in my life. There is a saying in "Mencius": "He who loves others, he will always love him; respect others." People always respect it.' Then, could it be that there is something I haven't done enough, and have I offended someone unintentionally?"

"No, no, it's definitely not the reason!" Ning Ning completely disagreed with this logic, "I think that person is probably not targeting you, but your father. Think about it, your father has a high position and authority, so there should be many people who have offended you Bar."

"...Is there any?" Liu Shu still frowned, "But, father, he has always been 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's happiness'; , "Strengthen to aid in widening", this should not be "government based on peace"..."

"Stop, stop!" Ning Ning interrupted Liu Shu, dumbfounded, "My Mr. Liu, how can the principles in these books be exactly the same as the real situation? The reality is that you did nothing wrong. , and didn't offend anyone, but that person might hurt you because of his own problems."

"...Is...is it like this...?" This was the first time Liu Shu thought about the injustice and impermanence in the world.

"Wait, wait!" Shen Motong couldn't bear to interrupt Cao Feng again, because he started to complain for no reason, "Is there really such a stupid person who loves to drop book bags?! Didn't you make it up?! Even I think my writing skills are not bad, and I don’t quote every sentence!”

"No, it's not stupid!" Cao Feng said with a serious face, "Even if that was your life, you are not allowed to slander him like that!"

"...Uh..." Cao Feng's serious reaction was somewhat beyond Shen Motong's expectation.

"He was born in such a family. It can be said that his life was smooth sailing before that time. The parents, friends and servants around him were all very friendly to him. He had never experienced any difficulties and ups and downs. Of course, he did not recognize the dangers of the world. It's not stupid, it's simple! And he loves reading, so it's normal for him to come up with some sentences!" Cao Feng helped Liu Shu explain a lot.

"...It seems that you also like his life very much..." Shen Motong looked at Cao Feng's eyes full of love, and somehow felt a little jealous.

"That's right!" Cao Feng admitted, "Frankly speaking, although Liu Shu's personality in that life is somewhat different from the you I used to know, the name 'Liu Shu' has indeed been deeply imprinted in my heart. Even his I also really like that innocent side!... Hehe, do you know which time he made me feel the cutest?" When he talked about this, he showed a slight smile, "It was that time 'Kitchen Incident'..."

The so-called "kitchen incident" means that Ning Ning and Liu Shu have become very happy friends since then. After he recovered from his injury, he once proposed to cook for Liu Shu himself. Follow up with kitchen help.

Of course, as a pampered prime minister since childhood, Liu Shu had never cooked before, so it was inevitable that he would appear clumsy when doing things.However, he was very diligent. Knowing that Ning Ning planned to cook fish, he offered to help him clean and disembowel the fish.

Ning Ning thought to himself, after all, this kind of preparation work is much simpler in technical content than cooking itself, so she agreed to let Liu Shu do it.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Shu had been busy for a while, his finger was accidentally pricked by a fishbone.

"...Oh!" Liu Shu let out a soft cry.

"Are you okay?!" Ning Ning was so nervous that he quickly picked up his finger to check the situation. Seeing that the wound was still bleeding, he was even more frightened. While pressing him to stop the bleeding, he shouted, "Come on! Come on!" Please doctor!! Young Master is injured!!”

"...No... don't need to be so exaggerated?" Liu Shu felt that he was making a fuss too much, "It's just a small wound on the finger, why do you need a doctor?"

"Nonsense! Even small wounds should not be taken lightly!" Ning Ning had a rare tough attitude towards Liu Shu, "Did you know that some fishbone may be poisonous! Some people were stabbed by fishbone and died!"

"...Ah?! So serious?" Liu Shu once again realized how dangerous this world is, and..."By the way...it was the first time I knew that fish had thorns...It was all picked by others before. The thorns are served as dishes..."

“…………………………” The condensation petrified.He stared at Liu Shu in a daze for a long time before bursting out laughing, "...Hahahahaha! How can there be people who don't know that fish has thorns!!"

"...Just... just don't know..." Liu Shu's fair face turned red with a "shua".

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I also want to say, this is an idiot at all!!!!!!”

"...haha..." Cao Feng was not angry this time, but instead smiled meaningfully at Shen Motong, "Actually, there is still a follow-up to what happened that time, but it's not a pleasant thing gone."

It turned out that what alarmed the imperial physician that day soon reached the ears of Liu Shu's father, Liu Guangkun.

Not long after, he arrived at his son's room with a frosty face.

"...Father? Are you here?...Baby, please greet your father." Liu Shu saluted respectfully.When he saw his father's face, he knew that nothing good happened, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.Although Liu Guangkun loved his only son very much in his heart, he emphasized the "three cardinal principles and five constant principles" at that time, that is, "the ruler guides his subjects, the father guides his son, and the husband guides his wife", so the father is in an absolute authority position for his children. In addition, the Liu family is a standard "strict father and loving mother", Liu Guangkun is usually very strict on the surface, so Liu Shu respects and fears him.

"Hmph! Look at what good things you have done!" Liu Guangkun glanced at Condensed, "I have been keeping my eyes shut all day long with a slave, but you have become even worse. Going to the kitchen to make a fuss for him?! Are you crazy?!"

"Father, let the boy report!" Liu Shu hurriedly said, "Ah Ning is the one who saved me that time..."

"I know this!" Liu Guangkun interrupted him coldly, "So what?! Didn't I already reward him with a thousand taels of silver?! Didn't he forget his identity because of this?!"

"Damn the slave!" Ning Ning quickly knelt on the ground, "It's all the fault of the slave! It's the slave who shouldn't have instigated the young master to enter the kitchen! Please don't blame the young master!"

"That's right! It's all the fault of your dog slave!" Liu Guangkun yelled angrily, "Come here! Pull this slave down and give him another fifty blows!!"

"...Dad?!!" Liu Shu blurted out in a hurry, "You can't do this!!!"

"...What did you say?!" Liu Guangkun slapped Liu Shu hard on the face, "You actually talked to me like that for him?!" Indeed, in that era when sons were required to obey their fathers absolutely , this violation is unimaginable.

"...!!!" Ning Ning was shocked, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken to death, "My lord, don't bother me anymore!!"

"........." Liu Shu touched his face and looked at his father in astonishment—although his father was strict, at most he would just reprimand him severely. It was the first time he had hit him at such a young age. Own.

"...Hey..." Liu Guangkun felt a little regretful when he saw his son's red and swollen cheeks and bloodshot mouth. Then, he turned and left.

After that, he didn't bother with Liu Shu and Ning Ning anymore.

However, even so, the two did not come together after all.

One day a few months later, Liu Shu suddenly told Ning Ning calmly that he was getting married.

It was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and the daughter of some great general.

It's strange that Ning Ning didn't express any objection to this, but just smiled and said, "Congratulations, I wish you a long life and a baby."

Shen Motong asked in surprise: "Why? Why don't you fight for it?!"

"What is there to fight for?" Cao Feng recalled this matter now, and still felt that his decision was not wrong. "It is said that out of ten men, only one at most likes men. So nine out of your ten lives Everyone in the world likes women, and I'm used to it. Nothing I did at that time could change this. If I made a big scene, it would only break our friendship from now on. In that life, Liu Shushi I am a friend, a confidant, that’s enough. I really can’t bear to ruin such a beautiful relationship. Later, we are also best friends for the rest of our lives—although I often say ‘then let’s be friends’ when the pursuit fails. This kind of talk, but many times we are gradually alienated from each other due to various reasons. It is almost the only time in the past 3000 years that we have truly been a confidant for a lifetime. I have never married in my life, and Ashu even asked his son to recognize me as a confidant Dad...how is it? Isn't it beautiful?"

"..." Shen Motong could tell from the corner of Cao Feng's always smiling mouth that he did not have many regrets in that life.
