soul shifting

"Tick-tick--"

The light water drops slipped from the black silk, dripped into the water basin, and played a beautiful movement on the water.

In the private courtyard of Hall Master Shen of Huoyun Villa, the maid was washing the boy's hair.The boy was lying unconscious on a bamboo couch and let her play with him.

The maid has lived for 20 years, and this is the first time she has seen such a delicate boy, his eyebrows and eyes are more shaped than those drawn; she unknowingly looked straight, and stretched out a hand towards the delicate boy like a flower. Soggy salted pork knuckle.

She gently slid across his fair face with her wet fingertips, leaving a water mark that glistened in the sun.The boy's eyelashes are long and dense, like two glossy black brushes; a drop of water drips on his eyelashes along the maid's fingertips, dyeing his handsome face with a layer of watery luster .

The autumn sun exudes a warm breath, not as hot as summer, nor as pale as winter; a spotted cat on the eaves stretched its waist and let out a lazy "meow", on the bamboo chair The comatose child didn't know if he heard the cat's cry, and suddenly raised a hand tremblingly.

The maid was taken aback, and grabbed his little hand: "Are you awake? Is there any discomfort?"

"Hmm..." The boy twisted, and with the strength he didn't know where he came from, he swung the maid's wet hand away and fell off the bamboo chair.

He was stumbling around in the yard like a headless fly, his eyes were tightly closed, and he couldn't open them no matter what.

Bathing with Yingyu San antidote can disperse the poison/drug that penetrated into the bone marrow of his body, but it can't heal the severely damaged meridians.

His eyes could no longer be opened.

At this moment, Hall Master Shen is training Manzhuang disciples on the school grounds.

"Don't be nervous, just do your best." Shen An blinked and encouraged his youngest disciple.

This little disciple is named Wu Yi, he is a serious boy who wants to be "hard on himself" even though the hall master is easy-going and gentle, and his requirements are very loose.On the day his disciple settled in Huoyun Villa, he almost fainted from heat stroke because of his meticulousness.

What Wu Yi used was a broad-backed machete with a golden edge, which was particularly dazzling in the bright sunlight; Shen An used the chilling cicada to follow him a few moves, and the two weapons, one white and one black, transformed into two flowing clouds in the air. film.

Seeing the opportunity, Shen An spread out the chilling cicada and swung it forward. Wu Yi took a step back and slashed the knife across his chest; at this moment, something that surprised Shen An happened—Wu Yi suddenly put down the sword and suffered A chilling blow!

Shen An turned pale with shock—although he had already removed all the blades from the chilling cicada in order to prevent his disciple from being injured, it would definitely not be fun to hit someone directly with the black iron fan bone.

The important parts of the chilling cicada were removed, and the whole was cut short. It fell to the ground and was covered in dust, like a wronged bald quail. Shen An didn't even look at it, and rushed to Wu Yi's side in two steps. Rolling up his sleeves: "Why did you put down the knife all of a sudden?"

There was a shocking bruise on Wu Yi's right arm, Shen An touched it carefully, but luckily no bone was hurt.The unlucky boy may have only one dead brain in his head, but he actually said this to him: "Just now when the disciple rang the bell, the trial is considered to be over. If the disciple faces the hall master with a knife again, it is disrespectful."

Shen An: "???"

How can it be disrespectful to defend one's own arm?Do you want to be so dogmatic? ! ?

Using the bell line to limit a range was originally Shen An's idea to deal with those naughty disciples who were running around in the martial arts arena and turned martial arts trials into a game of mouse and cat. I didn't expect Wu Yi to be so cute.

The bruise was on the disciple's hand, and the pain was in the heart of the hall master. Shen An was about to give Wu Yi an ideological education lecture on the theme of "the importance of self-protection". The servant who came over interrupted his train of thought: "Master, that child woke up just now, and for some reason, he was frightened and hid in a corner to prevent us from approaching. Go and have a look!"

Shen An nodded, called Wu Yi over, asked the servants to handle his arm, and then let the disciples disband by themselves, and rushed to the private courtyard by themselves.

He thought to himself: "Three days have passed since the detoxification, but I finally woke up."

Han Chan lay on the ground wanting to cry without tears, becoming a poor little forgotten by the master, and finally rescued it from the dust when the servants tidied up the martial arts arena.

In the private courtyard, several domestic servants and maids surrounded the city in a corner, like a group of long-haired gorillas watching human cubs.

The maid who just washed the boy's hair took the basin of water and shook it vigorously, making the water splash loudly: "He is afraid of water, I told you."

The boy who was huddled in the corner heard the sound of water and shrunk himself even smaller, and said softly, "Don't come here! Don't come here!"

A servant with a brain twitch picked up a water ladle and said, "Let me try."

He scooped up a ladle of water and poured it vigorously towards the boy's feet, but suddenly a wicked wind blew from nowhere, blowing the splashed water back into his ladle.The servant blinked his eyes, which were not much bigger than Mung Dou, and looked at the hall master who descended from the sky with a dazed expression.

Shen An flicked his sleeves, withdrew his internal strength, and said with a smile on his face, "What are you doing?"

The domestic servant touched the back of his head: "Try to see what kind of fear he can become."

Two small veins popped out of Shen An's forehead: "This child is the orphan of my friend, and I treat him like my own son. I know he is afraid of water and splash water on him to scare him. You treat him as a plaything." Bullying?" When he said this, the corners of his mouth still kept a slight smile, but there was a faint flash of anger in his eyes. Although the servants in the courtyard did not take the beggar child picked up by the hall master seriously before, now Hearing what he said, they all lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say any more.

Shen An sighed: "Move away the water basin, bucket, and water tank." He waved his hand to let the group of guys with their heads shrugging their heads do what they should do, and moved the children who were huddled in the corner from the gorillas. He was rescued from the onlookers.

Shen An knelt down beside him, and said softly: "This is Huoyun Villa, you are safe here."

He is so afraid of water, it must be because the fear of being soaked in Yingyu Powder is still fresh in his memory, so Shen An comforted him: "There is no water here and there is no poison/medicine, you don't have to be afraid."

Shen An patted him lightly on the shoulder: "What's your name? Can you tell me?"

The child frowned, and whispered, "Han Xiuyu."

Shen An said softly: "Xiu Yu, this name is really good. Don't be afraid, I rescued you from the bad guys, and no one will hurt you now. Huoyun Villa does not allow outsiders to enter at will, so I followed The servants said that you are the son of my old friend. If you still have family members alive, I will send you home in a few days. If you are alone, you can stay in Huoyun Villa in the future and treat it as your home .”

Han Xiuyu nodded: "I... have no family."

Shen An smiled affectionately: "Then stay here. My name is Shen An, can I call you Xiaoyu?"

Han Xiuyu nodded again, and said reservedly: "Okay, Uncle Shen."

Shen An's smiling face cracked a little.

Seniority is right, but why do I feel like I am ten years older suddenly? ? ?Forget it, after all, he was the one who claimed to be "your father's old friend" first.

Han Xiuyu touched his eyelids and asked, "Uncle Shen, what's wrong with my eyes?"

The eye meridians are damaged, and the child will spend the rest of his life in the dark. Shen An felt sore when he thought of this, and grabbed his shoulder lightly: "Your eyes... don't be sad, there are me Well, I will take care of you in the future." Han Xiuyu fell into his arms, his wet hair forming a brand new world map on his chest.

When Shen An used to browse Weibo, there were some netizens on the homepage who were very excited when they saw pictures of beautiful children, which made him very incomprehensible.Those children are indeed very cute, but in fact they are probably misbehaving and disobedient children. How can you fall in love with them just by looking at their photos?

But now looking at Xiaoyu in his arms, Shen An suddenly understood them, he thought to himself: "It's cute to a certain extent, other problems are trivial and insignificant."

Lying in his arms, Han Xiuyu raised his head and asked, "Uncle Shen, what day is today?"

Shen An patted his eyelashes very handily: "September [-]th of Gengchen Year."

Han Xiuyu said: "The day those people exterminated our Xuan Hongzong and kidnapped me was already Bailu Ri in [-] years. Unexpectedly, it has already passed a year."

Shen An took out a handkerchief from his arms and wrapped his wet hair: "Can you tell me what happened?"

——It was Bailu in the [-]th year that day, Han Xiuyu and his younger brother Jue Ming went to the forest behind Fanjing Peak to cut firewood, and they didn't return to Xuanhongzong until Sishi.After returning, Jue Ming went to find the master, while Han Xiuyu sent the firewood to the kitchen.At that time, he heard Jue Ming's scream from a distance, so he ran over immediately, and found that the master and his brothers had been killed and burned to ashes in the morning glory field.He saw Cassia Ming's figure flashing by from outside the window, and ran into the house to look for him without thinking much, but ended up falling for the bad guys.

Those people knocked him out, packed him in a sack and didn't know where he was going all the way, and as soon as he woke up, they poured him sweat medicine.After Han Xiuyu regained consciousness again, he found himself in a large water tank full of poison/medicine, except for a reed pipe for ventilation, everything else was sealed.He struggled in the water tank for a while, but he was ignored all the time. Later, he felt his body became more and more stiff, and gradually lost consciousness.

Xuan Hongzong is a little-known sect, except for a master appraiser surnamed He, there are no other celebrities.Last year, the Fanjing Peak where Xuanhongzong lived accidentally caught fire, and all the suzerain and disciples died. Because this incident was too tragic, it was also spread in the Jianghu for a long time, but the truth of the incident turned out to be that the sect was secretly exterminated.

Such a small sect that is indifferent to the world has such a tragic ending in the end, it can be said that the world is impermanent.

There is a bright red sunset glow on the horizon at dusk, and in Huoyun Villa at dusk, there are two people, one big and one small, having a long conversation.Their silhouettes were cast on the wooden window, forming a picture scroll of two masterful paintings.

Han Xiuyu pursed his lips: "Uncle Shen, do you think my junior brother is still alive?"

Shen An said: "It's possible. Those people are cruel and decisive. Since they tied him with ropes instead of killing him directly, it is very likely that they spared his life for some reason."

Han Xiuyu nodded: "Can you find a way to help me find him? I grew up with him and have always been best friends."

Shen An: "Although I am willing to help, but now there are no clues, and the hope of finding them is very slim."

The servant who delivered the meal brought the dinner, interrupting the heavy topic between the two. Shen An picked up Han Xiuyu with one hand, and patted the ashes on his buttocks: "Go eat first, and eat first if you have anything to do." Let's talk when we're full."

The dinner delivered by the kitchen today was spicy chicken diced, braised eggplant, dumplings stuffed with beef, and winter melon and shrimp soup. Hall Master Shen and his disciples had exactly the same meals, and there was no special treatment.

All the disciples of Huoyun Villa were having dinner in the cafeteria at this time, the sky was getting dark, and oil lamps were lit in the cafeteria.

Looking at the dishes under the light, it is more tender and delicious; watching people under the light, it is more vivid and moving.

The young master Qiu Ziyan, who was wearing double dragon opera beads and red forehead, stared at Xia Ming across the long table, and dropped a piece of fragrant chicken on the wooden table.

Xia Ming is the youngest female disciple among all the disciples, she is very beautiful, Qiu Ziyan fell in love with her at first sight from the day the disciples moved in.

Qiu Ziyan took a steaming beef dumpling from the plate, put it in his mouth to cool it down, raised his head and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Xia, this dumpling is delicious, I'll cool it down for you..."

Hey, where are the junior sisters?

Qiu Ziyan looked up, and saw that the stool opposite was empty; he looked around suspiciously, and found that the junior sister had actually sat next to Wu Yi again, and angrily threw the beef dumpling down.

I really don't know what's wrong with that brat, why is my junior sister always willing to go to him?

Xia Ming brought a dumpling to Wu Yi's mouth: "Junior Brother Wu, your hand is injured, it's inconvenient to pick up vegetables, let me help you."

Wu Yi shook his head, and said reservedly: "Thank you Senior Sister Xia, I can do it myself, don't bother."

Xia Ming circled her temples with her fingers: "Just eat it, I'll pinch it all."

Puzzled like Wu Yi, he shook his head again and said solemnly: "Senior sister Xia, man and woman..."

A servant at the door interrupted his voice: "Is Wu Yi there, Master Shen is looking for you!"

Wu Yi stood up and punched Xia Ming, then followed the servants away.Qiu Ziyan sat here with bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and when he heard his unfinished sentence, he rolled his eyes at the back of his head and said mentally: "The difference between men and women is whether men and women can accept or not kiss each other." Huh? Cut, this little old-fashioned."

When Wu Yi came to Master Shen's private courtyard, Shen An and Han Xiuyu were at a stalemate at the dinner table.The two sat facing each other with one eye open and the other closed, but they gave people a sense of seeing each other.

The author has something to say: Sorry for being late today, and I changed the text again.

In the past few days, I have been studying BS writing tutorials, and found that I am just a novice. There are a lot of places to learn and improve. I hope I can grow up as soon as possible~
