When Duan Wang came out after washing, Yu Sheng hadn't slept yet. He was sitting on the small table in the yard drinking without lighting the lamp. Just having a drink with the moonlight and the sound of cicadas was both artistic and enjoyable.

When Yu Sheng saw King Duan coming out, he raised his hand and gave him a glass too. King Duan was not polite, he sat down and started to drink.

Yu Sheng propped his chin with one hand, played with the cup in his hand, and said playfully to Wang Duan, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my house only has one bathtub, and Wang Duan probably won't mind sharing the same bathtub with me, a scumbag, right?" ?”

Duan Wang saw that he was obviously doing it on purpose, and he still pretended to be innocent, and felt that he was so innocent and cute. It might be because of his special sense of belonging to his fellow countrymen outside, otherwise, if someone else dared to talk to us Duan Wang like this, it would have been a long time ago. He was pulled out and beaten to death with sticks. Of course, this was all Wang Duan's own idea.

Duan Wang picked up the wine glass and said, "No problem."

Yu Sheng pushed forward: "Then, His Majesty Duan Wang is not afraid that what you wash is my bath water."

Duan Wang took a sip, felt that the wine was good, squinted his eyes and said: "Mr. has no medicinal fragrance on him."

Yu Sheng rarely praised Duan Wang: "Your Majesty Duan, you have a good nose, much better than Ah Huang." Needless to say, Ah Huang sounded like a dog's name, and it was most likely the name of a big yellow dog.

Duan Wang was not angry when he was dragged to compare with a dog, he said mostly jokingly: "You are bold."

Yu Sheng said indifferently: "If I hadn't been bold, His Majesty Duan Wang would not have traveled thousands of miles to my small, remote place in the backcountry to ask for a sword."

King Duan went on to say: "No one dared to talk to widows like this before."

Yu Sheng added another glass of wine to himself, and said, "In this way, it's still my honor. The grass people are really grateful."

Duan Wang drank the wine in his hand and said, "You are very interesting."

Yu Sheng put down his wine glass, looked at King Duan and said, "There are thousands of people in the world, but very few are truly interesting. How does King Duan know that I am one of them?" Without waiting for him to answer, he went on to say, " I am an extremely boring person. I am going to bed, so please do what you want, Prince Duan." Then, he walked into the room by himself, regardless of Prince Duan.

Duan Wang looked at Yu Sheng's back, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it with his head up. In the end, he still didn't ask any news about Yu Sheng's "tenth life".

The next morning, when Duan Wang came out of the room, Yu Sheng was holding a tray with both hands, and inside was a small casserole, two bowls, a spoon for scooping porridge, and two pairs of chopsticks.There are already several dishes on the small table in the yard.

Seeing King Duan came out, Yu Sheng said to him, "Go get some water from the well and wash yourself, then you can come over for dinner."

Duan Wang also went obediently, and when he came back, he saw that Yu Sheng had already eaten, so he didn't serve him a bowl of porridge.Duan Wang is self-sufficient. He opened the lid of the small casserole and filled a bowl for himself. The aroma of rice is overflowing. Each grain of rice is crystal clear and snow-white, and there is a subtle relationship between each other.With a few dishes of refreshing side dishes, and the clear and light fragrance of the bamboo next to the house, it is much more delicious than sitting in the solemn inner hall, especially the person sitting opposite him, The person like the breeze and the moon gave him a feeling that he had bid farewell to the hustle and bustle and started a peaceful life.

Lu Yuan smiled, and threw out all the messy things in his mind. Whether it was the underworld life in this world, or the life of the protagonist in "Ten Worlds", it was impossible for him to have a truly peaceful seclusion, just like Like being in a dark abyss, hustle and bustle and danger are the norm, while tranquility and peace are a temporary buffer against the former.If possible, he would like to make this peaceful life longer, longer.

After finishing their breakfast in silence, the two of them simply cleaned up. Yu Sheng carried a backpack by himself, threw a small hoe into it, and handed a backpack and a hatchet to Wang Duan.

Duan Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you planning to send the widow to chop firewood?"

Yu Sheng couldn't help but stuffed something into King Duan's arms and said, "If you want to get my sword, you have to pass my test."

Duan Wang had no choice but to carry a basket on his back, holding a hatchet in his hand, and followed Yu Sheng out of the house.

Yu Sheng's bamboo house was on the mountainside, and the two of them were slowly climbing up the path. Yu Sheng deviated from the normal route and went to a place with lush vegetation and few people. Helpless, he had no choice but to stand in front of Yu Sheng to open the way for him and collect some firewood.King Duan is good at using swords, but he really can't handle the hatchet. There are slight scratches on his hands and face. It looks like he was scratched by a branch. His clothes are messy and expensive. A small hole was scratched in the fabric here, and a cut was made there. This is King Duan, oh no, it is Lu Yuan's rare embarrassment.On the other hand, Yu Sheng was able to do a job with ease, not to mention scratches in his white clothes, not even a single spot of mud.

Yu Sheng was two steps behind King Duan, watching King Duan bow his head to open the way, and thought slightly: This is not at all the same as the monarchs that Dad said before, and it is also different from the monarchs written in those books, I don’t know Is he a good man?But now all Wang Duan thought about was, no, he didn't think about anything, he just cut down the weeds in front of him seriously.

The small hoe that Yu Sheng was holding was a medicine hoe. When he saw the herbs, he carefully pulled it out of the ground, and then threw it into his back basket.Duan Wang looked at Yu Sheng earnestly collecting herbs, and the idea that Yu Sheng must be teasing the widows really disappeared a lot.

Accompanying Yu Sheng to go up the mountain to collect medicine is not a good job, and King Duan didn't come here because he really wanted a sword. He could just flick his sleeves and go back to his palace. It is not impossible to be in the position of King Duan, there is no need to live this miserable life with the rest of his life.The only thing that made Li Mingkong uneasy was the "Ten Worlds" on Yu Sheng's neck. As one of the only two people selected by this pendant, Duan Wang felt that he had to get to know this other selected person well. There must be a reason for choosing the two of them.Isn't this the best time to investigate when there are only two of them?Especially when Yu Sheng hadn't realized that he was also alone with two people from the same world as him.

Just when Duan Wang came out of his small inner world, he saw Yu Sheng riding on a branch of a tree, trying to reach for a bright red fruit, and the basket of herbs was placed under the tree.He seemed to have used a lot of strength to reach the fruit. Suddenly, the fruit flew towards Duan Wang's face. Duan Wang quickly caught the fruit, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Sheng smiling at him.

Yu Sheng waved his hand to him and said, "This is for you." Then he went to grab another fruit that looked overripe, until he had saved five or six fruits, pocketing them with his own clothes, and jumped down from the tree. .

"Why don't you eat it? Do you think it hasn't been washed? You don't have to pay so much attention to the mountains, just wipe it with your clothes." As he said, he took a fruit from the pile of fruits in his clothes and went to it. Wipe it on your clothes and start eating.To be honest, Yu Sheng's bold actions don't quite match his gentle and handsome appearance, but even if Wang Duan accidentally followed Yu Sheng's actions, he casually wiped the fruit on his clothes and ate it. This was much fresher and more delicious than any fruit he had ever eaten.

Yu Sheng smiled, the smile was very hearty, the bright sun coated a golden film on his body, just like the light from himself, warm and bright, yearning and full of reverence and piety.

Duan Wang looked at Yu Sheng's smile and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Yu Sheng couldn't help but curled the corner of his mouth again: "It's nothing, it's the first time I saw a king standing in a field in tatters and eating a wild fruit that wasn't cleaned, it felt really, um...indescribable. "

Duan Wang looked down at his rare embarrassment. Although there were scars on his clothes and body, they were not as tattered as Yu Sheng said. I don't know if he was affected by Yu Sheng. , laughed to himself, Yu Sheng saw Duan Wang smiling, and he couldn't help laughing again, and for a while the two of them couldn't stop laughing.

Yu Sheng was out of breath from laughing, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, he barely stopped holding his stomach, and said to King Duan, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just really thought it was funny. I If you want to do this, you laugh, and I think it's normal."

King Duan didn't think there was anything disrespectful about Yu Sheng, and said, "It's nothing, I want to laugh myself."

Afterwards, they collected some more herbs, and returned to the bamboo hut on the mountainside at lunch time. Yu Sheng went to cook, and also burned the bath water.Therefore, when Yu Sheng was still cooking, Duan Wang had already started to take a bath under Yu Sheng's instructions. Before that, he didn't feel much about the wounds. After all, they were all very small wounds. Now when he touched the water, he suddenly At the beginning, there was some prickling pain, not particularly painful, but the small pain is still very annoying.

When Duan Wang cleaned himself up, Yu Sheng was still sitting in the yard, with two small bottles and a few clean handkerchiefs on the small case in front of him.

Yu Sheng called Duan Wang over and said to him: "It will be ready after lunch, now, let's take care of your wound first."

Duan Wang himself didn't care: "Don't worry about it, I'll be fine."

Yu Sheng smiled, opened a bottle, dipped the liquid inside with a clean handkerchief, and said to Wang Duan, "Come here, this is a medicine for cleaning wounds, it may hurt a little."

Seeing him like this, Duan Wang didn't refuse, and stretched his face in front of Yu Sheng.Yu Sheng pinched Duan Wang's chin with his left hand, and gently wiped the scars on Duan Wang's face with a handkerchief in the other hand.A stabbing pain came, and Wang Duan let out a "hiss". Yu Sheng hurriedly apologized, but his attention was still on Wang Duan's face, so he relaxed the intensity.

The initial burst of pain passed, and Duan Wang had already adapted to the pain.The feeling of Yu Sheng pinching his face suddenly became clearer. Yu Sheng's hands were a little cold and rough, probably because he was used to rough work. That's why he could see a little bit of the swordsmith on Yu Sheng's body. shadow.Yu Sheng leaned a little closer to him, and his warm breath hit Duan Wang's side face, making Duan Wang a little uncomfortable.Yu Sheng washed the small wounds on his face and hands, and then dipped another clean veil into the wound healing liquid and wiped it on his wound. The liquid was very cool, but Duan Wang felt that Yu Sheng's fingers cooler.

After applying the medicine, Yu Sheng packed up his things and prepared to put them back in the room, but Wang Duan suddenly said, "Thank you."

Yu Sheng said, "It's a little effort." Then he thought about it and said, "My mother used to clean up my wounds like this. When I was a child, my skin was very skinny, and she often came home with wounds. My mother always taught me while applying medicine. As for my father, he just protected me, and then both of us were taught by mother. Heh, at that time, it was really very nostalgic."

Duan Wang casually asked: "How is your father's Lingtang now?"

Yu Sheng replied: "Passed away. There are always some people who are resentful when their request for a sword is rejected. The swordsmith couple who don't know martial arts can only resist for a while and let their son run away."

Duan Wang didn't know why he asked such a question, so he said dryly, "Sorry."

Yu Sheng didn't mind, and said, "It was almost ten years ago, it's long gone."

Duan Wang said he was sorry, but he felt a little guilty in his heart, but he couldn't say it well. He was used to seeing death and such orphans, and there was something commonplace in him.
