soul shifting

Outside Fuyang City, Shen An, Han Xiuyu and Caesar Ming staggered towards Lanxi.The three of them were all in high spirits, as if they were dragging a heavy load under their feet.The glutinous rice balls flew slowly with them, and occasionally landed on Shen An's shoulders for a short rest.

Maybe it was Yao Bingqing's dying words "live well" that always lingered in his mind, maybe it was the two scarred children around him that aroused his sense of responsibility. All the emotions that had become fragile were suppressed forcibly, and the last bit of strength was squeezed out of the exhausted body, and all of it was used on reason.

There is a Fuchun River not far from Fuyang City, along the river all the way south, if you walk the whole way, you can reach Lanxi in about half a month; before that, Shen An must get rid of the terrible tattoo on his arm.

The three of them walked to an open valley, where a fast-moving river was running, and the bright sunlight shone like a silver belt; The water ripples regularly.This is the Fuchun River.

There is a small fishing village on the bank of the Fuchun River. It is the time for fishing. Most of the people in the village are women and children, some are washing fish, and some are drying fish.

She couldn't remember how many meals she didn't eat. Although Shen An didn't feel hungry, she was a little dizzy.He cleared his throat and said in a harsh voice, "Shall we go buy some fish?"

Han Xiuyu and Jue Ming nodded, and the three of them sat down in a small restaurant at the entrance of the village for passers-by, and ordered three bowls of stewed crucian carp.

While drinking fish soup, Shen An looked at the tattoo on his arm. There were two neat scratches on the edge of the ink-colored lines. The wound was not deep, and the surrounding area was slightly red and swollen. It was cut by himself.At first, he wanted to peel off the tattooed skin, but the feeling of the knife cutting the flesh was much more painful than he imagined, and he didn't have the courage to continue.He needs a quick way to cut through the mess, so that he has no time to hesitate.

On the bank of the river, a village woman was washing fish, and the fish viscera was thrown into the river, and drifted down with the current.Shen An saw two yellow pieces, suddenly thought of a way, and reached out to pick them up.

"What is this?" Jue Ming smelled a fishy smell, and stared at the thing in Shen An's hand with a little disgust.

Shen An drank up the fish soup in his bowl, and threw the two fat-like things into the bowl: "Fish bladder."

Cassia moved a little further away with the bowl in hand.

Shen An took out the fire pocket, put it on the bottom of the bowl and roasted it carefully, the two pieces of fish maw quickly melted into a bowl of sticky gelatinous fat.

"Xiao Yu," Shen An said, "Take a piece of linen from your sleeve and give it to me."

Han Xiuyu stared down at the fish soup and did not respond.

"Xiao Yu?" Shen An stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah? No," Han Xiuyu's eyes wandered messily on the table without looking up at Shen An: "I didn't think about anything."

"Take a piece of linen from your sleeve and give it to me." Shen An said again.

Han Xiuyu removed the linen cloth used for decoration on the sleeves and handed it to him.

Shen An stirred the warm fish gelatin evenly, poured it on the linen sheet, spread it evenly with chopsticks, a thin layer was like golden honey; then, he pressed the linen sheet onto the tattoo on his arm, and it stuck tightly.After about half a cup of tea, the linen piece was completely dried. Shen An took a deep breath, held his breath, tried to empty his mind, and didn't think about anything. Under the gaze, he pulled hard.

The swim bladder is the most sticky, and if it sticks to the flesh, it is impossible to separate it. The whole piece of flesh is torn off, and the blood immediately splashes all over the ground.At that moment, Shen An briefly lost consciousness.

It was such a fucking pain.

After regaining his senses, Shen An found himself lying on the ground, the restaurant owner and Jue Ming surrounded him with their knees propped up, and more and more villagers gathered behind them, forming a large black area; Han Xiu Yu squatted down and held him tightly in his arms, so tight that he couldn't breathe.

"Uncle Shen!" He heard Han Xiuyu shouting, his voice was a little muffled.He shook his head vigorously, and the tinnitus finally disappeared.

"Uncle Shen! You..." Han Xiuyu was angry and distressed, wishing to grab his shoulder and shake it violently, but when he saw his face, he lost all temper.He carefully picked up Shen An as if holding the most fragile and fragile porcelain, then turned to the restaurant owner and said, "Shopkeeper, please lend me your bed."

"Come here." The boss said.

"No, no, I don't need to lie down, you put me down, I'll just sit for a while." Shen An struggled to move, trying to get off Xiao Yu's body, this posture is really ugly, like a girl.However, Xiao Yu ignored his protest and carried him directly into the house.

With a "bang", Shen An was thrown on the hard bed by Xiao Yu, and almost didn't come up in one breath.

"...you just break my back." Shen An rubbed her back with her good hand, grinning in pain.

"I thought you weren't afraid of pain." Han Xiuyu said angrily, and pulled Shen An's wounded hand, which was covered in blood and flesh, which made him almost dizzy: "Obviously I promised to wait until now." Go to the pharmacy in the next town to buy Mabosan, and then get this tattoo, why are you in such a hurry?" He borrowed the wound medicine from the restaurant owner, and put it on the edge of the wound as lightly as possible, but Shen An was still sweating coldly from the pain.Han Xiuyu had no choice but to hold his hand and blow gently to disperse the powder little by little.

"I don't know when I will arrive in the next town. If you delay it for one more day, it will be dangerous for one more day, hiss..." Shen An gritted his teeth and endured, and waited until the torture-like medicine was over before continuing: "Besides, even if you use Mabo San, It will still hurt after the effect of the medicine wears off, it will hurt in the morning and in the evening, so I don’t want to procrastinate any longer.”

Han Xiuyu wrapped Shen An up with a bandage, pulled the quilt over him, and said, "Go to sleep for a while, anyway, you don't have to worry about people from the Promise Sect finding us now, so don't rush on your way."

Shen An nodded and fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.Han Xiuyu looked at the little red mole on his eyelid, stretched out his hand unconsciously, and pulled it back suddenly after he realized the reaction. "I can't do this anymore." He thought silently, and ran out of the room.

Knowing that Shen An liked Elder Yao, Han Xiuyu began to seriously consider leaving him.Even if Elder Yao is gone, Shen An still likes women, and he will like other girls in the future, and when that time comes, where should his hidden feelings be placed?Han Xiuyu didn't want to think about it.

If it is destined to be impossible, it is better to leave as soon as possible, after all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

"Let's go in two days, wait for Uncle Shen's injury to heal." Han Xiuyu secretly made up his mind, sitting on the bank and looking at the sparkling river in a daze, holding the hair that Shen An sewed. Fleece thermal eye mask, pinch one by one.The nectar for the glutinous rice balls has been eaten, but fortunately the weather has turned warm, and many small colorful wild flowers bloom on the banks of the river, and they can collect honey by themselves.Han Xiuyu's eyes moved back and forth following it, and sat like this for the whole afternoon.

In the evening, every household in the fishing village started cooking, and the smoke from cooking intertwined with the white clouds, forming a hazy white scene; the fishermen returned to the village one after another, and it was another day full of rewards.Han Xiuyu got up from the riverside, rubbed his numb thighs, and saw from a distance that Cassia Ming turned over from a small hillside, carrying a big bag in his hand.He is not in the village this afternoon, and he does not know where he has gone.

"Jade Ming," Han Xiuyu called him, "Why did you go?"

"Avenge Elder Shen and Elder Yao." Jue Ming opened the bag, which contained the heads of five masked assassins.

"Fuck!" Han Xiuyu couldn't help cursing: "You really don't want to die."

"I put Master Shen's piece of linen in the grass, and then hid on the nearby mountain. These people followed Wasp to find them, and I shot them to death!" Jue Ming said proudly.He lit a fire with the weeds by the river, threw the bundle into the fire, and muttered: "Elder Shen and Elder Yao are spirits in the sky, and Cassia Ming is not capable enough, so I can only burn a few for you today." You little brat, when I have practiced my kung fu in the future, I will definitely chop off Luo Yuxuan's head and serve you wine!"

Han Xiuyu also bowed three times with him, and then the two left the riverside and went back to the restaurant for dinner.

The owner of the restaurant was very kind and agreed to keep Shen An and the others to stay at home for one night. Although only three people could squeeze into one bed, it was much better than sleeping in the wild.Shen An has been sleeping in the afternoon, and only woke up at dinner time. Her energy has almost recovered, and she can't fall asleep at night, so she can only stare at the ceiling with her eyes open.

Probably because he was determined to leave, Han Xiuyu slept next to Shen An today and didn't have those messy thoughts, but he still didn't sleep very peacefully.Most of his damaged meridians have recovered, and the pain is no longer there, but he still feels sore one after another. When he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly felt a clear spring-like inner force melt into his limbs, centered on the dantian Walking around again and again suppressed most of the soreness in his meridians.After adjusting his breath, he put his hands on his shoulders and gently pinched him.Han Xiuyu thought he was dreaming at first, but the hand pinched his lower back, making him a little itchy, and he woke up only to realize that someone was really massaging him.

Han Xiuyu turned over in surprise: "Uncle Shen?"

Shen An smiled and said, "Is it better?"

"How do you know me……"

"You frown when you don't sleep well," Shen An pinched another arm for him: "It's always been like this. My brows are almost pimples, can I not know?"

Shen An hugged him into her arms, and patted him on the back lightly: "Sleep, I'm here."

Han Xiuyu was speechless, and it took almost all of his concentration to hold back his tears.The determination to deceive oneself is completely vulnerable in the face of coveted tenderness.

"I'm not leaving." He thought, "I don't want to leave Uncle Shen."

He was so excited, and had to spend all his energy to hold back his sobs and tears, that it took more than a quarter of an hour before he suddenly found that Shen An's forehead hanging down against his forehead was astonishingly hot.
