Tide beat empty city
Chapter 39
One morning, Zhan Zhao was woken up by the wind blowing in from the window.I lay down and thought for a while, it turned out that I ordered someone to open it last night, but I didn't expect that I had been ill for more than half a year, and it was the season of wind and dew.Supporting the edge of the bed, he sat up, took a rest, and slowly lifted the quilt to the floor.Close the window and sit down at the table.
This body didn't look like his own, he held his throbbing heart and smiled wryly to himself.Holding the long sword on the table in one hand, Yongnian also sent it, hoping for the resurrection of the former Zhan Zhao?
He slowly drew his sword out of its sheath, and raised his hand to hold a sword flower, his wrist was extremely stiff.
The boy who walked in was frightened when he saw the sword light.The elder of his family was sent back that day, he was so sick that he only had a handful of bones left; after raising these, his complexion looked better and his appetite didn't grow much.This early in the morning, dancing swords without wearing clothes, I don't know how to cherish my body.
Zhan Zhao put away the sword at this time, said with a smile: "Put the water down, you go and do your own work, you don't need to wait."
The boy promised to put down the basin, and asked bravely: "You, can you do it? I heard that I coughed in the middle of the night last night, and I don't think it's a good day. Why don't you take a rest and get up later?"
Zhan Zhao nodded: "I see. You go first and wait for my call."
Really unable to stand up, do not want people to see.When the boy closed the door and exited, he leaned back in his chair, so tired that he just wanted to fall asleep immediately.
In the haze, the door rang again, and the eyelids were too heavy to open. I just felt someone approaching. I hugged myself up, helped me to the side of the bed, removed my shoes and socks, and helped me to lie down.Covered with a quilt, he remained silent.
Drowsy, knowing that the visitor has not left.Sitting on the edge of the bed holding your breath, maybe just looking at him.
He unconsciously called out, Yutang.
A hand reached out and grabbed him.A suppressed guttural sobbing sounded in his ears.
Finally gathering enough strength to open his eyes, his eyes focused for a long time, Zhan Zhao's face turned pale, but his expression remained unchanged.
The boy beside the bed knelt down and kowtowed, and said, Master, I'm back.Do not be angry.
Zhan Zhao didn't respond, and lay down with his eyes open, not knowing what to think.Sitting up for a while, sighed, stroked his hair and said, get up, the ground is cold.
Yu Yuan stood up obediently, not daring to sit any longer, and stood on the side of the bed and told, "Master, I came out and told Uncle Wu. He and Xinxin are both fine, so don't worry about it. Uncle Wu taught her kung fu when Xinxin grew up. After you left, she has always been very sensible. Once she whispered to me, she couldn't help crying and told me that she misses you every day. If you want her to listen to Uncle Wu, she will be obedient and practice hard; when she is ready to leave the island, If I want to find you, I won’t let you go alone. Uncle Wu didn’t say anything, but I know..." Tears dripped down as he said it, and he quickly wiped it away: "Master, you are so sick, why don't you send a letter?" .If I had known earlier..."
Zhan Zhao leaned on the pillow, his eyelashes were already wet with tears.He closed his eyes and calmed down the fever in his chest, got up and held his hand, sat on the side of the bed and asked, "Teach you to follow Uncle Wu, why are you disobedient? Whether you are sick or well, come to see me, as if you can't take medicine .”
Yu Yuan bowed his head in silence, bit his lip for a long time and said, "I know, he forced you."
Zhan Zhao let go of him, lay back and said, "Yu Yuan, there are many things I can't tell you right now. But it's my own idea that I go back to Nanyue, and the result is up to me. It doesn't matter who forces the other. You just go away." Your way, don't bother with this matter."
Yu Yuan stared at him obsessively, so weak, did the vigorous and vigorous posture that he held his horse back and galloped belonged to him?Seeing that his eyes were blurred with tears, he said, Master, don't you understand.I'm not asking, I just can't live without you.
Zhan Zhao wanted to say something, but his breath became disordered, and he covered his mouth and coughed continuously.
Yu Yuan turned around and patted his back lightly, remaining silent.
Zhan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his palm and shook his head and smiled.Yu Yuan, you are forcing me by saying this.
Hearing this, Yu Yuan half-kneeled in front of the bed, took his hand and wiped it carefully, and said word by word, Master, I am the same as Xinxin, as long as I am not separated from you, I will be happy.I am still your apprentice, for the rest of my life.I don't think about anything else; but I know you are sick, but I don't take care of you, just leave yourself, what kind of apprentice am I.So, Master, please don't drive me away.Don't worry, Master, today I swear to God, no matter what happens in the future, I will follow your teachings, be a good person with integrity and responsibility, and do everything I should do.Master, do you believe me?
He looked up, tears in his eyes.Young people don't know that the world is difficult, and when they can fulfill their wishes.Zhan Zhao sighed and nodded, it's fine for you to stay in Xinzhou; if you want to go to Nanyue Palace with me, I will not recognize you as a disciple, and you will be like a stranger ever since.You know that I never tell lies, and I hate others for being untrustworthy; you have to write down every word of today.
Yu Yuan nodded repeatedly, and then asked, Master, how about I live outside your room?When you call at night, I hear you.
Zhan Zhao's eyes seemed to drift away, and he answered the question for a long while: How long have you been out?Have you informed Uncle Wu about his whereabouts?
Yu Yuan thought about it and understood immediately.Feeling sore in my heart, I said, Master is not in good health, so stop worrying.I won't tell Uncle Wu about your illness, and make him anxious.
Yes, Zhan Zhao laughed at himself.I am like this, I am shocked when I see it, why bother to scare people.
Yu Yuan felt more and more uncomfortable when he heard it, and almost cried while holding his wrist.To be so thin, how many tortures have I endured.Standing up and helping him to lie down, he said, Master sleeps for a while.I'm going to cook some porridge and I'll call you when it's done.
Zhan Zhao nodded, feeling tired and flustered, he couldn't ask any more questions.
Two months later, when winter comes, Zhan Zhao told Yuan that it is not an option for you to be idle all day, since you want to stay in Xinzhou, you should pack up and go back to the barracks tomorrow.
Yu Yuan didn't dare to argue, thinking to himself that since there was no fighting in the barracks, he would be more idle.He nodded and said, then I will go out with Master for a walk, and tomorrow you will be left alone.
Zhan Zhao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, I see you too, so you don't have to worry.After learning kung fu for these years, training me well is the real thing.
Yu Yuan didn't speak, helped him tie the cloak and walked out, walked to the edge of the paddy field and said, Master, you used to lead us to cultivate these wastelands.At that time, I was young and only thought of having fun, but now I understand the deep meaning of Master.
Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head, what is the meaning?I also did it for fun.
Yu Yuan frowned: Master, why are you still joking with me.You know that you can't do it, teach us, don't make excuses to indulge yourself in any situation, and don't do what you should do.Don't worry, don't worry...
Seeing his tears streaming from the side, Zhan Zhao was momentarily stunned.After a while, he patted his shoulder and said softly, I know.Don't worry, Master will take care of you.
Yu Yuan wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and said in a low voice, why don't you want me to stay by your side.He is pushing you again.
Zhan Zhao looked at the field from a distance, it was bleak in winter.He said in a blink of an eye, Yu Yuan, you have to leave me anyway, don't you?Not affiliated with anyone.
Why did you have to leave? Yu Yuan was very sad, and tears welled up again.Holding back her sobs, she said, I just thought, I just thought, at least I'll leave when you're better, and I'll definitely go...
Zhan Zhao rested his shoulders and passed the handkerchief: "Don't cry."Teach people to see it, and think it is life and death.The military camp is not far away, so you can come when you are free, and I will cook for you.
Yu Yuan tried his best to restrain himself, so that he didn't cry like he was buried in his arms when he was a child.He desperately clutched one of his sleeves, tightening his grip more and more.The sadness in my heart is like the rising tide of the sea, my chest is about to burst, but I can't say a word.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhan Zhao stretched his arms and pulled him into his arms, but remained silent.
Yu Yuan sobbed.Master, how can I go.You were coughing up blood last night.
Zhan Zhao patted him on the back, nothing happened, it was an old problem.Now that I can walk this far with you, I feel satisfied.
These words sounded extremely frightening, Yu Yuan raised his head, and called him in a daze: Master...
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, let's go back.It's getting cold.
If you have been sick for a long time, carefully avoid mentioning it.Yu Yuan somewhat understood that after too long a time, it would be difficult to regain his seductive demeanor of leaning on a sword in the past.It's just that thinking like this is too cruel for him, so what's in Zhan Zhao's heart?
Who is it that killed you? He looked at him, and almost wanted to utter a silent cry.
Zhan Zhao's eyes are calm, and his thin body still stands upright as before.
But Huaying has been lonely for many years, who will rise with it in the future, and the sea and mountains will be amazing?
Yu Yuan subconsciously touched the huge que at his waist, shivering inexplicably.Master, has he seen through the whole time...
Zhan Zhao stood in front of him and waited for him. When he turned his head, the wind blew a myriad of threads, wrapping his face unsteadily.Seeing palpitations, Yu Yuan quickly stepped forward and took him by the hand, pulling him tightly all the way, not daring to let go.
Yu Yuan ran back to the tent in the rain, opened the curtain and stood there, screaming in surprise and joy, Master!
Zhan Zhao beckoned him to sit by the fire, and said, his clothes are about to be taken off, I'll dry them for you.
Yu Yuan untied his outer shirt and handed it to him as he said, looking back at the empty space outside the door, he asked, "It's raining, why did you come here?"I don't teach people to follow, just in case...
Zhan Zhao shook his head, I didn't say anything when I came out, my family didn't know.
The oiled paper umbrella placed in the corner of the tent was still dripping with water, forming a small dark shadow on the ground.Yu Yuan lowered his head and thought, how long will it be since Master won't be able to ride a horse.After walking so far, when did he leave the door?
The brazier was set up in the center of the tent, and the cold wind leaking in through the gaps in the curtains drifted over, blowing the flames and shadows, making it feel like winter loneliness.Zhan Zhao coughed lowly, the flames reflected in his pitch-black pupils, flowing like jewels.Looking at it this way, his cheeks are warm orange, which makes Yu Yuan want to turn into fire at this moment, and caresses his cold and pale body.
After a long silence, Zhan Zhao smiled and said, Yu Yuan, you talk less and less.Did he argue with Uncle Wu that if he couldn't win, he retreated in spite of the difficulties.
Yu Yuan shook his head, fifth uncle, fifth uncle doesn't talk much.
Zhan Zhao shook his hands slightly, pursed his lips and looked up at him.
Do you think anyone else can replace you?Yu Yuan bowed his head and said silently in his heart.
Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at the bed, and said, it's getting cold, let me see what you need.Prepare them all tomorrow, and teach others to deliver them together.
Yu Yuan stood up and said, the road is difficult to travel in the dark, master should leave earlier.I'll walk you home.
Zhan Zhao smiled, and said softly, there's no going back.I stay and sleep with you.
Yu Yuan came in with a thick quilt in his arms, padded three layers, pressed it with both hands, quite satisfied.After laying out the pillows and quilts, he said, "Master, sit by the fire first, and I'll fetch hot water, and you will burn your feet before going to sleep."
Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded, watching him rushing in and out, taking off his shoes and socks as if at home, and soaking his feet in water for massage.
Looking down at the top of his black-haired head, he sighed and said, you won't sleep well tonight.
Yu Yuan looked up at him and smiled, without speaking.
After turning off the light and lying under the quilt, Yu Yuan asked in a low voice, Master, is it warm?A little excitement that couldn't be hidden in the words.
And admiration.To what extent is unconditional, maybe even he himself is not clear.
Zhan Zhao stretched out an arm and wrapped it around his shoulder.When he grows up, he can no longer be surrounded so easily.
Like when he got into his arms when he was a child, Yu Yuan put his arms around his waist and said, "It's so cold in rainy days, Master will never go out again."I will visit you.
There was a fire in the young chest, and he leaned against it to warm him, unlike when he was sleeping alone, his heart was frozen and stiff.Zhan Zhao replied with a smile, I can't wait for you to see me, I didn't intend to bring out the rain today.
Yu Yuan turned pale with fright, raised his head and shouted, Master, what are you talking about?
Zhan Zhao sighed softly, and said for a long while, let's go back to the empty island to celebrate the new year.It's so deserted here.
Yu Yuan held him tightly, and asked tremblingly, I have a master, so how can I be deserted?Go back to Sky Island, then, then are you going?Xinxin and Fifth Uncle...
You go back by yourself, Zhan Zhao interrupted him.I'm going back to the palace too.
As if a thunderbolt sounded above his head, Yu Yuan couldn't recover for a long time.It turns out that the farewell is tonight. After that farewell, is there anyone to look forward to?He reached out and hugged him tightly, tears drenched his heart.
Zhan Zhao endured, coughing back into his chest.She stroked his shoulder and said, why are you crying, it's not like I can't see you anymore.There is a lot of rain in Xinzhou and it is too cold in winter.When I go back, it will be better for my health.
Is that true?If you have been in Xinzhou, how can you be in bad health?
Why do you have to live there?Yu Yuan asked in puzzlement.I can protect myself, and I can also protect Xinxin.Don't you believe it?
Zhan Zhao shook his head, without any reason.I know where I am.Yu Yuan, I keep telling you to go your own way.Everyone's path is different, and I'm walking my own path.If you feel that you should protect yourself and Xinxin, you should do it well.I don't believe you.
Yu Yuan's mind was buzzing, but he knew he couldn't stop him.This is inevitable, and Bai Yutang has never been able to do it.He grasped the last hope: How can I tell Uncle Wu when I go back?lie to him?
That's your business, Zhan Zhao smiled, coughing so hard that he couldn't stop.
Yu Yuan hurriedly got up, lit a lamp and served water, and stroked his back back and forth.Lie down calmly, Zhan Zhao held his hand, and continued, you have grown up, and I have nothing to teach you.Whatever you want to say, think about it before you speak.Um?
Yu Yuan nodded, Master rest assured, I understand.
Putting back the water glass and going to bed, seeing Zhan Zhao's eyes closed in the dark, his chest heaving.The sound of breathing was intermittent and extremely uneven.Yu Yuan said sadly, Master, just cough it up.I couldn't sleep anyway.
Speaking of the second half of the night, the night gradually became quiet.Waking up on time in the morning, Yu Yuan opened his eyes and saw Zhan Zhao, with a tired and quiet face, in the twilight, there was a kind of desolation and deep silence.
He quietly got out of the bed and covered him.Kneeling up with his hands on his sides, he held his breath and stared at the person he had longed for since he was a child.
I like you.Yu Yuan opened his mouth and said silently, no matter what kind he likes.
He quickly dressed and ran out without making a sound.In a hurry, not in time for Yingmao, I just want to come back quickly and see him again, even if it's just one more look.
The urgency of this extra glance, the cold God routinely turned a blind eye.When Yu Yuan ran back early with his arms full, the tent was already empty.The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and as he approached, he could faintly smell his breath.
The object in his hand fell to the ground, and he ran out empty-handed, looking around sadly and in panic.The busy camp in the morning mist was shrouded in grayness for no reason.The patrolman with the gun saw it, and came to tell him that Mr. Zhan had left and said he would not disturb your business.
Yu Yuan grabbed his front, his eyes were red: why did you let him go?He didn't sleep well all night, and he didn't have breakfast, how could he walk back?
After finishing speaking, he left him, turned around and went to lead the horse.The patrolman hastily stopped him, so there was no need to chase him.Mr. Zhan was picked up by the carriage, he said, don't worry.
Yu Yuan stood still in a daze, and suddenly remembered that he and him had never had a New Year's Eve together.
In the future, he still doesn't want it.
After staying in Xinzhou for two days, Zhan Zhao changed his house and took the money and money to house servants.Then return to Duanzhou alone.
Entering the city gate, first go to the home of the former princess's mansion.Walking through the empty courtyard and desolate path, the osmanthus trees in the garden are still there, but the fragrance has faded.He stopped under the tree, lowered his head and thought about what Yongning picked every year and what he used them for, but he didn't have any memory at all.So her image was also blurred along with the old things.
He turned around and left the mansion.Maybe I wanted to take something away, but the past is the past.There is nothing to fill and fix in time.
Lanterns are hung everywhere in the palace, which is full of spring.After entering the room and closing the door, Yongnian turned around and loosened his coat for him, held his cold hand and sighed: Look at the cold.Have a hard time on the road?Don't move, let me wait.
Zhan Zhao pushed and then gave up, panting and laughing, I'm going to throw up.Don't stain your clothes.
Yongnian clenched his hands even tighter, and turned his head to touch his neck again.He said vaguely, what are you afraid of with clothes, there are so many.Zhao's heart will hurt if he is frozen.
Before the words finished, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth and really vomited on one side of his body.
His stomach hurt for two days, he barely ate, and all he vomited was gall water.
Yongnian held him until he finished vomiting, then helped him back to the bed and lay down slowly.Loosen the neckline and see that the sweat has already soaked the clothes.He quickly took it off, dried him, changed his clothes, and wrapped him in a warm quilt.I took off the stained robe, sat on the edge of the bed and sighed: I don’t know if my stomach is cold and I can’t stand the cold because I’m dressed so thinly?
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, closed his eyes and remained silent.
Does it hurt badly?Yongnian leaned down a little, and stretched his hand into the quilt.Touching the bone protruding body, my heart trembled.
This is distressed, or emotional.Once again, let his imagination break his heart, for so long.
He fell sideways, leaning against him, his palms lightly covering his body.
Zhao, I sent you to recuperate, how did you manage it.Come back against me.
Zhan Zhao slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at him.
Yongnian dodges, buries his head on the pillow, panting softly.Zhao, don't look.I can't help it.
Zhan Zhao turned his face to the side and smiled, it turned out to be so simple.I dug my eyes out and never looked again.
Yongnian hastily stood up, pressed half of his body tightly, freed up one hand to wrap around his wrist, gritted his teeth with hatred and laughed.
Zhao, you are really scary when you are ruthless.Don't be a fool, I'd like you even if you were blind.
Zhan Zhao threw him away with his sleeves, frowned and said, do you want to save your life until Chinese New Year? Go away.
Yongnian rolled and fell to the foot of the bed, and sat up with his hands on the ground.Blinking his eyes, he said with a smile: "Of course I want to."You don't want to, why don't you come back after the New Year?Did I rush?No.
Zhan Zhao lay down and covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes and turned sideways.
Yongnian stood up and approached, looking at the body, his eyes gradually intertwined.
Zhao, whether you want to admit it or not, no matter how long or far we have been apart, we still know each other.
I heard that Yu Yuan is here.If you celebrate the new year in Xinzhou, he will definitely not leave, and return to the empty island.As for Bai Yutang, he only promised not to look for Zhan Zhao; as for Yu Yuan, it is the responsibility you want to impose on him.How could he not look for him when he was alone during the Chinese New Year?
In fact, it's okay to stay and see him.Or do you feel like you can't see him at all?
It turns out that you know that outside of this place, you will never say where to go back.
And besides waiting for you, I never have any other expectations in my heart.
After all, we are still the only one for each other.You let me go far away, aren't you deceiving yourself?
Zhan Zhao seems to have been stabbed in the heart.The pain is overwhelming, just because of this word, it is cruelly real.
No matter how unwilling, this time and this place has become the only way he can go.
Even if you are not ashamed of the world and your heart; how can you support yourself like before, and don't turn your back on it.
Why is it still like the past, the spring mountains are like smiles, the autumn waters are long and the sky is long, who is young and has flying sleeves.
Until now, how could he, an innocent sinner, have no complaints?
Hatred is hard to break; love is endless.It was him, or himself, or fate that forced him.
In the dark, he closed his eyes and let him wrap his arms around, pressing them tightly.
Not for compromise, but for helplessness.
If you are in a deep prison, I can still wish you happiness in this world.
Yongnian stretched out his hand to loosen the knot between his brows.Zhao, you finally understand that I am inseparable from you forever and ever.
Until the two of us are left, regardless of being in the hell world.
Irresistible destiny, how can I resist it.Looking at the scars all over your body, it's horrible.
The pain is extremely humiliating, and I will bear it with you.Even if you walk and go to a dead end.
He lingered in his ear, comforting and pleading.Sleep peacefully when you are tired, I just want to watch over you.
Zhan Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed him away.There was a burning pain in his abdomen, and he bumped against his chest and twitched.Falling down on the edge of the couch, he couldn't help opening his mouth, vomiting so much that his internal organs were hurt.
After cleaning the bed, Yongnian snuggled up beside him, cleaned his face, poured water and rinsed his mouth.Warm compresses massage the stomach, and the sun rises until the end of the night.
This body didn't look like his own, he held his throbbing heart and smiled wryly to himself.Holding the long sword on the table in one hand, Yongnian also sent it, hoping for the resurrection of the former Zhan Zhao?
He slowly drew his sword out of its sheath, and raised his hand to hold a sword flower, his wrist was extremely stiff.

The boy promised to put down the basin, and asked bravely: "You, can you do it? I heard that I coughed in the middle of the night last night, and I don't think it's a good day. Why don't you take a rest and get up later?"
Zhan Zhao nodded: "I see. You go first and wait for my call."
Really unable to stand up, do not want people to see.When the boy closed the door and exited, he leaned back in his chair, so tired that he just wanted to fall asleep immediately.
In the haze, the door rang again, and the eyelids were too heavy to open. I just felt someone approaching. I hugged myself up, helped me to the side of the bed, removed my shoes and socks, and helped me to lie down.Covered with a quilt, he remained silent.

He unconsciously called out, Yutang.
A hand reached out and grabbed him.A suppressed guttural sobbing sounded in his ears.

Zhan Zhao rested his shoulders and passed the handkerchief: "Don't cry."Teach people to see it, and think it is life and death.The military camp is not far away, so you can come when you are free, and I will cook for you.
Yu Yuan tried his best to restrain himself, so that he didn't cry like he was buried in his arms when he was a child.He desperately clutched one of his sleeves, tightening his grip more and more.The sadness in my heart is like the rising tide of the sea, my chest is about to burst, but I can't say a word.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhan Zhao stretched his arms and pulled him into his arms, but remained silent.
Yu Yuan sobbed.Master, how can I go.You were coughing up blood last night.
Zhan Zhao patted him on the back, nothing happened, it was an old problem.Now that I can walk this far with you, I feel satisfied.
These words sounded extremely frightening, Yu Yuan raised his head, and called him in a daze: Master...
Zhan Zhao smiled and said, let's go back.It's getting cold.
If you have been sick for a long time, carefully avoid mentioning it.Yu Yuan somewhat understood that after too long a time, it would be difficult to regain his seductive demeanor of leaning on a sword in the past.It's just that thinking like this is too cruel for him, so what's in Zhan Zhao's heart?
Who is it that killed you? He looked at him, and almost wanted to utter a silent cry.
Zhan Zhao's eyes are calm, and his thin body still stands upright as before.
But Huaying has been lonely for many years, who will rise with it in the future, and the sea and mountains will be amazing?
Yu Yuan subconsciously touched the huge que at his waist, shivering inexplicably.Master, has he seen through the whole time...
Zhan Zhao stood in front of him and waited for him. When he turned his head, the wind blew a myriad of threads, wrapping his face unsteadily.Seeing palpitations, Yu Yuan quickly stepped forward and took him by the hand, pulling him tightly all the way, not daring to let go.
Yu Yuan ran back to the tent in the rain, opened the curtain and stood there, screaming in surprise and joy, Master!
Zhan Zhao beckoned him to sit by the fire, and said, his clothes are about to be taken off, I'll dry them for you.
Yu Yuan untied his outer shirt and handed it to him as he said, looking back at the empty space outside the door, he asked, "It's raining, why did you come here?"I don't teach people to follow, just in case...
Zhan Zhao shook his head, I didn't say anything when I came out, my family didn't know.
The oiled paper umbrella placed in the corner of the tent was still dripping with water, forming a small dark shadow on the ground.Yu Yuan lowered his head and thought, how long will it be since Master won't be able to ride a horse.After walking so far, when did he leave the door?
The brazier was set up in the center of the tent, and the cold wind leaking in through the gaps in the curtains drifted over, blowing the flames and shadows, making it feel like winter loneliness.Zhan Zhao coughed lowly, the flames reflected in his pitch-black pupils, flowing like jewels.Looking at it this way, his cheeks are warm orange, which makes Yu Yuan want to turn into fire at this moment, and caresses his cold and pale body.
After a long silence, Zhan Zhao smiled and said, Yu Yuan, you talk less and less.Did he argue with Uncle Wu that if he couldn't win, he retreated in spite of the difficulties.
Yu Yuan shook his head, fifth uncle, fifth uncle doesn't talk much.
Zhan Zhao shook his hands slightly, pursed his lips and looked up at him.
Do you think anyone else can replace you?Yu Yuan bowed his head and said silently in his heart.
Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at the bed, and said, it's getting cold, let me see what you need.Prepare them all tomorrow, and teach others to deliver them together.
Yu Yuan stood up and said, the road is difficult to travel in the dark, master should leave earlier.I'll walk you home.
Zhan Zhao smiled, and said softly, there's no going back.I stay and sleep with you.
Yu Yuan came in with a thick quilt in his arms, padded three layers, pressed it with both hands, quite satisfied.After laying out the pillows and quilts, he said, "Master, sit by the fire first, and I'll fetch hot water, and you will burn your feet before going to sleep."
Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded, watching him rushing in and out, taking off his shoes and socks as if at home, and soaking his feet in water for massage.
Looking down at the top of his black-haired head, he sighed and said, you won't sleep well tonight.
Yu Yuan looked up at him and smiled, without speaking.
After turning off the light and lying under the quilt, Yu Yuan asked in a low voice, Master, is it warm?A little excitement that couldn't be hidden in the words.
And admiration.To what extent is unconditional, maybe even he himself is not clear.
Zhan Zhao stretched out an arm and wrapped it around his shoulder.When he grows up, he can no longer be surrounded so easily.
Like when he got into his arms when he was a child, Yu Yuan put his arms around his waist and said, "It's so cold in rainy days, Master will never go out again."I will visit you.
There was a fire in the young chest, and he leaned against it to warm him, unlike when he was sleeping alone, his heart was frozen and stiff.Zhan Zhao replied with a smile, I can't wait for you to see me, I didn't intend to bring out the rain today.
Yu Yuan turned pale with fright, raised his head and shouted, Master, what are you talking about?
Zhan Zhao sighed softly, and said for a long while, let's go back to the empty island to celebrate the new year.It's so deserted here.
Yu Yuan held him tightly, and asked tremblingly, I have a master, so how can I be deserted?Go back to Sky Island, then, then are you going?Xinxin and Fifth Uncle...
You go back by yourself, Zhan Zhao interrupted him.I'm going back to the palace too.
As if a thunderbolt sounded above his head, Yu Yuan couldn't recover for a long time.It turns out that the farewell is tonight. After that farewell, is there anyone to look forward to?He reached out and hugged him tightly, tears drenched his heart.
Zhan Zhao endured, coughing back into his chest.She stroked his shoulder and said, why are you crying, it's not like I can't see you anymore.There is a lot of rain in Xinzhou and it is too cold in winter.When I go back, it will be better for my health.
Is that true?If you have been in Xinzhou, how can you be in bad health?
Why do you have to live there?Yu Yuan asked in puzzlement.I can protect myself, and I can also protect Xinxin.Don't you believe it?
Zhan Zhao shook his head, without any reason.I know where I am.Yu Yuan, I keep telling you to go your own way.Everyone's path is different, and I'm walking my own path.If you feel that you should protect yourself and Xinxin, you should do it well.I don't believe you.
Yu Yuan's mind was buzzing, but he knew he couldn't stop him.This is inevitable, and Bai Yutang has never been able to do it.He grasped the last hope: How can I tell Uncle Wu when I go back?lie to him?
That's your business, Zhan Zhao smiled, coughing so hard that he couldn't stop.
Yu Yuan hurriedly got up, lit a lamp and served water, and stroked his back back and forth.Lie down calmly, Zhan Zhao held his hand, and continued, you have grown up, and I have nothing to teach you.Whatever you want to say, think about it before you speak.Um?
Yu Yuan nodded, Master rest assured, I understand.
Putting back the water glass and going to bed, seeing Zhan Zhao's eyes closed in the dark, his chest heaving.The sound of breathing was intermittent and extremely uneven.Yu Yuan said sadly, Master, just cough it up.I couldn't sleep anyway.
Speaking of the second half of the night, the night gradually became quiet.Waking up on time in the morning, Yu Yuan opened his eyes and saw Zhan Zhao, with a tired and quiet face, in the twilight, there was a kind of desolation and deep silence.
He quietly got out of the bed and covered him.Kneeling up with his hands on his sides, he held his breath and stared at the person he had longed for since he was a child.
I like you.Yu Yuan opened his mouth and said silently, no matter what kind he likes.
He quickly dressed and ran out without making a sound.In a hurry, not in time for Yingmao, I just want to come back quickly and see him again, even if it's just one more look.
The urgency of this extra glance, the cold God routinely turned a blind eye.When Yu Yuan ran back early with his arms full, the tent was already empty.The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, and as he approached, he could faintly smell his breath.
The object in his hand fell to the ground, and he ran out empty-handed, looking around sadly and in panic.The busy camp in the morning mist was shrouded in grayness for no reason.The patrolman with the gun saw it, and came to tell him that Mr. Zhan had left and said he would not disturb your business.
Yu Yuan grabbed his front, his eyes were red: why did you let him go?He didn't sleep well all night, and he didn't have breakfast, how could he walk back?
After finishing speaking, he left him, turned around and went to lead the horse.The patrolman hastily stopped him, so there was no need to chase him.Mr. Zhan was picked up by the carriage, he said, don't worry.
Yu Yuan stood still in a daze, and suddenly remembered that he and him had never had a New Year's Eve together.
In the future, he still doesn't want it.
After staying in Xinzhou for two days, Zhan Zhao changed his house and took the money and money to house servants.Then return to Duanzhou alone.
Entering the city gate, first go to the home of the former princess's mansion.Walking through the empty courtyard and desolate path, the osmanthus trees in the garden are still there, but the fragrance has faded.He stopped under the tree, lowered his head and thought about what Yongning picked every year and what he used them for, but he didn't have any memory at all.So her image was also blurred along with the old things.
He turned around and left the mansion.Maybe I wanted to take something away, but the past is the past.There is nothing to fill and fix in time.
Lanterns are hung everywhere in the palace, which is full of spring.After entering the room and closing the door, Yongnian turned around and loosened his coat for him, held his cold hand and sighed: Look at the cold.Have a hard time on the road?Don't move, let me wait.
Zhan Zhao pushed and then gave up, panting and laughing, I'm going to throw up.Don't stain your clothes.
Yongnian clenched his hands even tighter, and turned his head to touch his neck again.He said vaguely, what are you afraid of with clothes, there are so many.Zhao's heart will hurt if he is frozen.
Before the words finished, Zhan Zhao opened his mouth and really vomited on one side of his body.
His stomach hurt for two days, he barely ate, and all he vomited was gall water.
Yongnian held him until he finished vomiting, then helped him back to the bed and lay down slowly.Loosen the neckline and see that the sweat has already soaked the clothes.He quickly took it off, dried him, changed his clothes, and wrapped him in a warm quilt.I took off the stained robe, sat on the edge of the bed and sighed: I don’t know if my stomach is cold and I can’t stand the cold because I’m dressed so thinly?
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, closed his eyes and remained silent.
Does it hurt badly?Yongnian leaned down a little, and stretched his hand into the quilt.Touching the bone protruding body, my heart trembled.
This is distressed, or emotional.Once again, let his imagination break his heart, for so long.
He fell sideways, leaning against him, his palms lightly covering his body.
Zhao, I sent you to recuperate, how did you manage it.Come back against me.
Zhan Zhao slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at him.
Yongnian dodges, buries his head on the pillow, panting softly.Zhao, don't look.I can't help it.
Zhan Zhao turned his face to the side and smiled, it turned out to be so simple.I dug my eyes out and never looked again.
Yongnian hastily stood up, pressed half of his body tightly, freed up one hand to wrap around his wrist, gritted his teeth with hatred and laughed.
Zhao, you are really scary when you are ruthless.Don't be a fool, I'd like you even if you were blind.
Zhan Zhao threw him away with his sleeves, frowned and said, do you want to save your life until Chinese New Year? Go away.
Yongnian rolled and fell to the foot of the bed, and sat up with his hands on the ground.Blinking his eyes, he said with a smile: "Of course I want to."You don't want to, why don't you come back after the New Year?Did I rush?No.
Zhan Zhao lay down and covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes and turned sideways.
Yongnian stood up and approached, looking at the body, his eyes gradually intertwined.
Zhao, whether you want to admit it or not, no matter how long or far we have been apart, we still know each other.
I heard that Yu Yuan is here.If you celebrate the new year in Xinzhou, he will definitely not leave, and return to the empty island.As for Bai Yutang, he only promised not to look for Zhan Zhao; as for Yu Yuan, it is the responsibility you want to impose on him.How could he not look for him when he was alone during the Chinese New Year?
In fact, it's okay to stay and see him.Or do you feel like you can't see him at all?
It turns out that you know that outside of this place, you will never say where to go back.
And besides waiting for you, I never have any other expectations in my heart.
After all, we are still the only one for each other.You let me go far away, aren't you deceiving yourself?
Zhan Zhao seems to have been stabbed in the heart.The pain is overwhelming, just because of this word, it is cruelly real.
No matter how unwilling, this time and this place has become the only way he can go.
Even if you are not ashamed of the world and your heart; how can you support yourself like before, and don't turn your back on it.
Why is it still like the past, the spring mountains are like smiles, the autumn waters are long and the sky is long, who is young and has flying sleeves.
Until now, how could he, an innocent sinner, have no complaints?
Hatred is hard to break; love is endless.It was him, or himself, or fate that forced him.
In the dark, he closed his eyes and let him wrap his arms around, pressing them tightly.
Not for compromise, but for helplessness.
If you are in a deep prison, I can still wish you happiness in this world.
Yongnian stretched out his hand to loosen the knot between his brows.Zhao, you finally understand that I am inseparable from you forever and ever.
Until the two of us are left, regardless of being in the hell world.
Irresistible destiny, how can I resist it.Looking at the scars all over your body, it's horrible.
The pain is extremely humiliating, and I will bear it with you.Even if you walk and go to a dead end.
He lingered in his ear, comforting and pleading.Sleep peacefully when you are tired, I just want to watch over you.
Zhan Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed him away.There was a burning pain in his abdomen, and he bumped against his chest and twitched.Falling down on the edge of the couch, he couldn't help opening his mouth, vomiting so much that his internal organs were hurt.
After cleaning the bed, Yongnian snuggled up beside him, cleaned his face, poured water and rinsed his mouth.Warm compresses massage the stomach, and the sun rises until the end of the night.
