Bewitched

When Yan Feng came out, Nanyu was already standing outside the hall waiting for him.In terms of age, Nanyu should have won the championship in the Central Plains this year, but Yan Feng met him too early, so he always felt that Nanyu was still a teenager, a baby like ice and snow, who was afraid of melting in the palm of his hand.

Nanyu saw him and smiled at him.The forest behind him undulates like waves, and the wind blows across the sky, as if the world is bright.Yan Feng stepped forward, and Nanyu held his hand secretly under the cover of his sleeves.The two of them left hand in hand, Nanyu asked him: "Did you come every year for the previous eight years?"

"Yes, when I sent you to Southern Xinjiang, I promised you to come and see you, but I still missed the appointment." Yan Feng replied.

"It's okay." Nanyu said, he lowered his eyes to see their hands clasped together, couldn't help laughing again, and said, "I know you've been here, so I'm very happy."

Yan Feng didn't speak, but held Nan Yu's hand tightly, and Nan Yu knew that he was still a little guilty when he saw it.

"You don't have to feel guilty, I know Seventh Brother's methods better than you. He didn't let us meet, and he has his own reasons, not to mention it's done, so why bother with it?" Nan Yu said, he stopped and looked directly at Yan Feng eyes, and said seriously, "From now on, you can look at me every day." When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little shy, but still looked at Yan Feng with watery eyes.

Yan Feng lowered his head with a smile, touched his forehead lightly, and said, "I'm afraid I'll never get enough of it."

The New Year is approaching, the snow falling in the south of the Yangtze River has only paved a thin layer on the bluestone road, and the moss is curled up in the old stone pit, leaving the last remaining greenness.

Yan Heng bypassed the screen and walked towards the main hall of the Yan family.He is wearing a peach red gown today, and the flashy color is also suppressed by him, walking from the snow is like a tree staggering peaches in winter, bringing a spring with it.Yan Jue went out to meet him, and frowned when he saw his frivolous appearance.Yan Heng hurriedly quickened his pace, walked up to Yan Jue and called out: "Brother."

Yan Jue nodded, and said, "Let's go, don't keep your parents waiting." His personality followed his father's, the most solemn, and he was dressed in green on such a festive day as the New Year. Standing next to Yan Heng, he looked even more serious. As calm as a green pine.

The two entered the house hand in hand, Yan Jue went to sit next to his wife, Yan Heng saluted his parents, and sat down opposite Yan Jue.

Jiang Sese took the lead in asking: "How, did San Chun'er's letter come back?"

It's easy to make a living by having a cheap name. Sanchun'er is Yan Feng's nickname. By the way, Yan Heng's is Erhua, and Yan Jue is Datun. The above names are all given by the heroine Jiang Sesel.

Yan Heng coughed, took out a letter from his sleeve, and put it on the table.Mr. Yan Xing took it and opened the envelope, and looked at it with Jiang Sesur. The more he looked, the darker Mr. Yan Xing's face became. On the contrary, Jiang Sesur raised his eyebrows, showing an expression of interest.After Yan Xing finished reading, he handed the letter to Yan Jue, and when the letter was passed around and placed on the table, the whole family fell silent.

In the end, it was Yan Jue who spoke first. He is now the head of the Yan family, so he should be the first to speak: "The third brother will not come back this year."

"Nonsense!" said the old man Yan Xing, but before he had time to continue, the old wife pinched his arm and turned around, and Jiang Sesel sneered: "When you were going to marry me, a thief, the whole world was not Say you're crazy, now that Sanchun'er has grown up to such a big age, and she finally has someone she likes, don't say you want to learn how those idiots beat mandarin ducks!"

Old Man Yan Xing frowned tightly, he groaned for a long time and choked out a sentence: "That can't even come home during the New Year, what does it look like?"

Yan Jue glanced at the letter again, and said: "That person has a high status in southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid he won't go back to Yan's house with his third brother."

Yan Xingdao: "Look at what he said in his letter. Could it be that he wants to marry?"

Yan Heng took the words and retorted: "The third younger brother and that man are both men, why do you say that?" He was stared at by his father, touched his nose again, and honestly shut his mouth.There is no way, since childhood, among the three sons of the Yan family, the second child has been beaten the most.

Yan Jue said: "Second brother is right, third brother is indeed not considered a married couple. As for Chinese New Year, my family is often crowded with people. Except for Ru Niang and I who celebrate New Year at home every year, father, mother, And the second and third brothers, it's not uncommon for them to be delayed because of various things." He had a calm face and didn't mean to complain, on the contrary, the faces of the others who said it were a little embarrassing.People from the rivers and lakes make friends freely, so it is inevitable that they will be a little thinner in the family.Ru Niang secretly held his hand under the table to comfort him, and he held it back, with a soft expression, and continued, "Third brother rarely has anything he wants, let him go."

Yan Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest brother agreed, and the matter was basically half done.

Jiang Sesur said: "That's what I mean too. Our family doesn't have those pedantic rules, and our children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Sanchun'er can live a good life." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yan Xing and said, "When Sanchun'er was eight years old, you If you can make up your mind to let him go with his master, you didn't bring up my son, and now you don't want to show off the old father, or I will be the first to disagree."

Yan Xing felt a headache and defended himself: "That was San Chun'er's own idea, he didn't want to learn sword skills from me, and was fooled away by that old drunkard Xie Dingjia, how can he blame me?"

Jiang Sese sneered: "That's why you are useless as an old man, otherwise, can San Chun'er insist on going with Old Man Xie?"

Yan Xing didn't want to quarrel with his old wife, so he could only turn his head and ask Yan Heng: "You already know about this, you must have seen that one, tell me, how is that person?"

This happened to be what Jiang Sesur was concerned about, so he stopped pursuing the victory, and turned his head to look at Yan Heng, waiting for his answer.

Yan Heng said: "I think he is a good boy. The most important thing is that the third brother likes him, and he also likes the third brother. This is enough. I didn't say that the third brother has chased people to southern Xinjiang. Writing a letter is just Tell us, even if you want to object, father, you can't go to southern Xinjiang and drag your third brother back with a broken leg!" He saw that his father's face was not looking well, so he couldn't help adding another sentence, "And father, you are now I can't even beat my third brother..."

"Erhua!" Jiang Sesur's eyes lit up, she shouted, interrupted Yan Heng's words, and said, "You're right, if Sanchun'er doesn't come back, we can go to Nanjiang to see him! I just haven't been there yet What about Southern Border!"

Yan Heng was stunned.Why didn't Yan Feng take Nanyu back to Yan's house? It was because he was afraid of frightening people too much, and wanted to solve the problem by himself first.If he was willing to say that the kid liked him so much, he would definitely agree.It turned out to be good now, he agreed to his brother's persuasion of his parents and succeeded, but the success was a bit too much, so he directly wanted to persuade his parents to go to southern Xinjiang.

……

Yan Heng glanced at his old lady who had already started arranging gifts for others with great interest, and couldn't help but feel a headache. He could only pray that the third child would adapt to the circumstances, anyway, it might not be a good thing to have to go through this sooner or later.

Yao Kingdom, Huangdu, inside the imperial city.

Gu Liangyue stood guard outside the Haotian Palace where the emperor lived, waiting for the emperor to summon him.The eunuch walked out bowed, saluted Gu Liangyue, and said, "Your Majesty, let Your Highness go in."

There was an unpleasant smell of bitter medicine in the palace, and because it was winter and the windows could not be opened for ventilation, it was very dark even in daytime.

Gu Liangyue opened the veil and saw the old emperor lying on the bed and the woman sitting beside the bed.The woman was dressed very plainly, she had no jewelry on her body except for a silver hairpin that tied her hair up, and her pretty face was also without makeup.She lowered her head slightly, and her white skin seemed to be glowing in the dark room. A pair of catkins gently held the old emperor's withered hands, and it became more and more like a pure white plant that was rooted in the humus and absorbed the nutrition of flesh and blood. Youtan.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned her head to look at Gu Liangyue, revealing a face that was seven points similar to Nan Yuzu's in eyebrows and eyes, but because she was a woman, this face was different from that of a man's Qingjun, and was more soft and seductive.But as long as someone sees these two pairs of eyes at the same time, no one will mistake them as mother and son.

No matter how many beauties Gu Liangyue has seen, she will still be amazed by the owner of this face. Compared with this ever-blossoming viburnum, how many beauties are rendered as vulgar fans.Gu Liangyue didn't dare to look any further, she bowed to the two of them, and said, "I have seen Father Huang, and I have seen Mrs. Hua."

Hua Jiangli, or Qiu Yuebai, was secretly welcomed into the palace by the emperor shortly after returning to the country, and served by his side. The emperor did not give her a title, but gave her the most grand favor. As long as the emperor is still alive , even the eldest prince's biological mother Yu Guifei had to bow her head in front of Mrs. Hua.

But who knows how long the old emperor can live?

The old emperor didn't speak, Huajiang left his mouth and asked: "You said, Brother Yu doesn't want to come back with you?" When she left Nanyu, Nanyu was only 12 years old, far from the age of writing, so Huajiang Li can only call Nanyu Brother Yu, she continued, "Is it because he doesn't want to, or you don't want to?"

Gu Liangyue said: "It's because he doesn't want to."

Hua Jiangli was silent for a moment, then continued: "The cardinal didn't come back."

Gu Liangyue said: "She was taken away by Nanyu."

Hua Jiangli closed her eyes. She is nearly forty years old this year, but she looks too young, like a flower sealed in amber at the most blooming moment. Except for a little girl who has never experienced the world, she will never have There is nowhere to tell her age.It is a pity for a beauty to be late in the world, but it is strange to see a beauty without her twilight.Fortunately, she still has a son. Although she doesn't love him, every time she thinks about it, she feels that she still belongs to this world.She opened her eyes and said, "Forget it, let him go."

If Hua Jiangli was still the same as she was ten years ago, she would never let go so easily, just like eight years ago she ordered Nanyu to be hunted down and killed, but now, after all, her heart has softened.Even if this soft-heartedness came so late and so lightly, Nan Yu didn't need it long ago, but it was better than never.

From then on, don't talk about the past.

Spoiler: In the dream, the shimmering light is drunk

Nan Yu also cried during those days of cultivating Gu.

He curled up in the corner, his teeth tightly biting his arm, sinking into the flesh, shaking from crying, the forbearance leaked from his lips, and then disappeared very quickly.His body was cold, his fingertips were not warm at all, tears slid down his cheeks, but there was still a bit of warmth from the blood, reminding him that you are still human.His breath was full of damp fishy smell, and there was an increasingly obvious smell of insect secretions.At first, these smells were like a mess of colorful filth, mixed with different smells of stench and sweetness, so sticky and disgusting, but as Nanyu stayed here for a long time, these smells gradually became clearer, It was as if the entangled silk threads were gradually separated, and he began to be able to distinguish which worm each smell belonged to, as if he himself had become a worm.

The sound of countless insects rubbing against each other as they crawled rang non-stop in his ears, he knew what they were, and he also knew why the Gu pool was so dark.Because bugs like it, and because people will be afraid if they see it.Now it is spring, it is the most suitable season for nurturing Gu, and similarly, it is also the most suitable for awakening the sleeping king Gu in his body.

Gu is a creature that can only become stronger through cannibalism. If King Gu wakes up...

If one wants to become a Great Witch of Southern Border, what one needs to give up is not only human names?

At this time, he would think of Yan Feng. He resented him one moment, and loved him the next moment. The pain was extreme. When he recalled that little warmth, it was like holding a candle in the palm of his hand in the vast night. She shed hot tears and branded scars on Lianxin's ten fingers.It burned shorter and shorter, but it also burned brighter and brighter, until there was only a short section left, which could be firmly protected by Nanyu's closed palms, and it has been burning in his body ever since.

At that moment, the longing turned into liking, and then this liking soaked into the flesh and blood, bathed in the moonlight and grew wantonly in every lonely and sleepless night, and finally, such a small piece of affection was born, just right, enough Gently and properly wrapped the whole heart.So from now on, there is only love, no hate.

Nanyu finally walked out of that Gu pond, he stayed in that darkness for a full three months, his flesh and blood were devoured and regenerated, after he came out, he could no longer be like an ordinary person.When he just walked out of the Gu pond, he was afraid of light and couldn't eat, although his limbs were healthy, but he couldn't even walk a few steps by himself, it was Seventh Brother who guarded him day and night, recuperating his body.He only stayed in the Gu pool for three months, but it took two full years to recover to the level where his normal actions are no different from ordinary people.

But these, after all, are things of the past.

Nanyu was awakened from this dream of looking back at the past, she moved her palm, and it was indeed held by Yan Feng.He opened his eyes and saw Yan Feng leaning against the head of the bed with the moonlight on his shoulders, but his eyes were softer than this man's.

"Having a nightmare again?" Yan Feng asked him in a low voice.

"Yes." Nan Yu also sat up, shrank herself into Yan Feng's arms, then covered both of them with a quilt, raised her head and smiled at Yan Feng.Yan Feng wrapped the man in his arms with long arms and legs, like a big dog protecting its own bones.

The two quietly watched the scene outside the window and didn't speak for a while.

Nanyu was extremely thin, his shoulder bones pressed against Yan Feng's heart, and there was a little pain, but more of it was the satisfaction of soreness, as if the gap he had been looking for for a long time was finally filled perfectly.He raised his head slightly, leaning on Yan Feng's shoulder, looking at the moon outside the window, the moonlight fell into his eyes softly and softly, breaking into countless streamers, so beautiful that Yan Feng wanted to kiss these eyes .But the blood in Yan Feng's whole body was hot, and he just hugged Nanyu tighter silently, the heat was transmitted to Nanyu's body through the thin cloth, and his cold body gradually warmed up. The eyelashes slowly fell, nestled in Yan Feng's arms, drowsy.

Nanyu closed her eyes and secretly thought, how similar this embrace is to the one eight years ago.

When 17-year-old Yan Feng protected 12-year-old Nanyu and fled to southern Xinjiang together, they were sometimes forced to sleep in the wild by those who hunted them down. Yan Feng also hugged him like this. The first hug I received was like a tired bird that had been flying away from the group for a long time and finally found its own home. It turned out that the hug is so warm, so warm that it has the power to heal all the missing.

That night, the two embraced and slept together.

Yan Feng rarely dreams, but tonight is an exception.

He walked towards the only light source in the dark. The light was like twinkling fireflies or flowing stars. It wasn't until his fingertips touched the light that he realized it was a piece of jade. fragrant.

He saw clearly the appearance of the light source, it was Nanyu that was shining.He made a look of suddenly realizing it, but he wanted to laugh a little bit, thinking that the current scene was a little funny.

How can people shine?

But Nan Yu was indeed shining, he lay there quietly, becoming the only light source in this boundless darkness.Yan Feng touched him, and the light flowed from Nanyu's body to his hand.Yan Feng took his hand away, and the light disappeared from his fingers like flowing water.He quietly sat down beside Nanyu, staring at the glowing Nanyu, couldn't help but wanted to laugh.He picked up a strand of Nanyu's hair, and it only illuminated one of his knuckles, but he felt that his heart was full of tenderness.

Nan Yu must be dreaming, his eyelashes are trembling, and his eyelids are glowing reddish.What did he see?Is it the willows on the Baidi, and the spring grass?Or is it colorful and colorful?He opened his eyes, and the boundless spring scenery poured out from these eyes.He blinked again, and smiled at Yan Feng with the haze of a long-awaited dream, and the ten-mile peach blossoms were blooming everywhere, and the colorful fallen flowers came into his eyes.He bit his lips and smiled, wrapped his arms around Yan Feng's neck, got up and kissed the corner of Yan Feng's lips.Yan Feng saw his own figure clearly reflected in his eyes, which were also shining.The two of them hugged each other, and the glowing one became two people.

Why do you want to laugh when you see this person?

Why do you think this person will shine?

Because I like him.

Because he is my sweetheart.
