【Grain wattle】turbulent flow

On the outskirts of Ruzhou, a horse and a carriage hurried along a forest path.

The snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped gradually, and the snow on the surrounding dead branches was melted by the sun, and fell in a patter, like another cold rain.

Not far away is a narrow river, the young man in the red shirt on the horse reined in the reins, jumped down lightly, and said to the carriage: "Brother Gu, Brother Jing, Brother Shaolin, we will cross the Shahe River further on. "

The person sitting on the shaft took off the bamboo hat on his head, and just as he turned his head, he saw the curtain of the car behind him being firmly lifted by a pale and thin hand.

Gu Yuexuan narrowed his eyes facing the sunlight, first smiled at the thorns, then raised his head and said to Fu Jianhan: "Thank you for taking care of me all the way, brother Fu. From here to Luoyang, there are about three or four days left."

The four of them met outside the city of Suzhou and drove non-stop for three days. They didn't dare to rest until they got out of Fengyang Mansion.Fortunately, after the first battle in Suzhou, Tiqi lost Xia Houyu, and Dongchang lost Shang Longyin, which must have hurt their vitality, so they did not encounter too many pursuers along the way.

Fighting desperately to get out of that lore that day, both Fu Jianhan and Jingji suffered heavy knife wounds. Fortunately, Lao Qin prepared good wound medicine in the carriage. After a few days, these flesh injuries were basically useless in the way.In comparison, Gu Yuexuan's situation was much more difficult. If it were someone else's frenzied punch, he would have been shattered if he didn't die.

On the first day, Gu Yuexuan almost fell into a coma, with Thorn guarding her side, only feeling her heart fluttering up and down, all hanging on the breath of the person beside her.There were two other people watching, and he didn't care too much, he kept holding Gu Yuexuan's hand with both hands and didn't dare to let go.He had never been so scared in his life.I'm afraid that if he holds it lightly, the hand in the palm will quietly vent its strength while he's not paying attention, and it will gradually become cold.

Later, it was Lu Shaolin who said: "Brother Jing, do you still remember the medicine that Doctor Wen left for Brother Gu?"

Thorn woke up with a start, and hurriedly went to explore Gu Yuexuan's lapel. His hands were shaking badly, and he groped for a long time before he found the medicine sachet. He squeezed the cold pills soaked in cold water in the palm of his hand before he dared to feed Gu Yuexuan. go down.

Gu Yuexuan swallowed the medicine by himself, and his breathing became steady.

Thorn held those warmer hands, let out a long breath, and leaned against the wall of the bumpy carriage.Lu Shaolin was still whispering in his ear, "Brother Jing, your injury is also very serious, bandage it up..." But he seemed to be unable to hear it, the pain that came and went from the wound and the heavy exhaustion hit him, making him Can't help but close my eyes.

After closing his eyes for an unknown amount of time, Thorn felt the hand in his palm move slightly, and immediately woke up.

I saw Gu Yuexuan just opened his eyes, his eyes were fixed on the wound on his body, and he moved his lips: "Ji, do you hurt?"

The corners of Thorn's eyes swelled, turned his head away, and whispered: "What else do you care about me? Obviously I'm about to..."

He couldn't say the word.He thought, since the person is still alive, he never wants to mention that word.

Gu Yuexuan smiled, raised his other hand to touch Jing Zhi's head, and said, "I'm fine."

Now that he has promised, he will never die easily.

I don't know if it's the medicine from Wenhujiu that worked. Gu Yuexuan's injury also recovered very quickly, and even Hangusan didn't seem to be showing signs of attack. After another day, he was able to sit up and adjust his breath smoothly, with a look of radiance in his eyes Also recovered more than half.

Now they have reached the south bank of the Shahe River, and there are still seven days until November [-]th. Counting the days, they should be able to arrive in Luoyang in time for the martial arts conference.

I just heard Fu Jianhan say: "Tiqi and Dongchang's people can't catch up for the time being, and there is probably nothing I can use in the future, so I'm here to say goodbye to you brothers."

After only a few days of getting along, Gu Yuexuan knew Fu Jianhan's heart, guessed that he was used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and didn't want to go to the muddy waters of the martial arts conference, so he nodded immediately and said: "I have to say goodbye to you when I send you thousands of miles away. Brother Fu is still on the way back. Be careful."

Lu Shaolin also jumped down from the carriage, stepped forward and fisted, and said solemnly: "Brother Jianhan, I can only repay you with good wine for saving my life. As long as I can return to Hangzhou alive, I will definitely invite brother Jianhan to come here." Drink in the best restaurant for three days and three nights."

Fu Jianhan put his arms around Lu Shaolin's shoulders, and said with a big smile, "Okay, brother Shaolin, have fun! When the time comes, let's call a few friends, and we won't go home until we're drunk!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around, and was about to lead the horse to set off, when a slender object flew over his head.

Fu Jianhan raised his uninjured left hand and took it. After seeing what it was, he was shocked and looked at the thorns.

Thorn was still sitting on the shaft of the chariot and refused to get off. He waved his hand without looking at it, and said, "Isn't your sword broken? Take this back and return it to the Sword Casting Villa."

Even Gu Yuexuan was stunned, turned his head and said, "Aji..."

Thorn glanced at him, and said impatiently: "For these two swords, don't you and the old man always miss me? Now I am willing to pay them back. Why do you still look unhappy? Do you want me to return the swords too?" Satisfied?"

Just as Gu Yuexuan was about to say something, there was a sound of wind above his head, and he saw the Buddha sword with its sheath thrown back into the hands of the thorns.

Fu Jianhan on the other end laughed loudly and said: "Thank you Brother Jing for your consideration, but Brother Jing still holds this sword properly. Brother Jiannan told me that a good knife and sword match a good person. If he knows that Brother Jing is holding this Buddhist sword Demon Sword has done so many chivalrous deeds, so he must be willing to give this pair of swords to you, and he will no longer care about what happened back then."

Thorn frowned and said, "Hey, you..."

Fu Jianhan blinked: "As for my little brother, I have long wanted to find another good sword in my hand. This time I came home, just for me to sharpen those good brothers who are good at making swords. Then I will get a new sword." Sword, I would like to have a try with Brother Jing."

When he said the last sentence, he had already jumped on his horse, bowed his hands slightly to the crowd, turned around and swung his whip away.

After Fu Jianhan left, the group continued on.

The further north we went, the colder the weather became, and even the nearby rivers were covered with thin ice.There are large reeds growing on the banks of the river, and the cotton-like reed flowers are swaying in the wind, mixed with the color of the snow that has not yet melted, and the eyes are full of light and light white.After being illuminated by the sun at noon, the white was dyed a little reddish again, a bit like the burning clouds in the sky at sunrise, softly surrounding the horseshoe, making people feel a little like riding on clouds and fog.

Seeing that they were about to arrive in Luoyang, they stopped rushing blindly.Thorn stopped the carriage, led the horse to the river, let it eat some grass leaves and drink some melted snow water, and take a good rest.He himself sat down cross-legged on the shore, drew out his sword according to his habit, put it on his knee, and wiped it with some ice and snow.

After a while, soft footsteps came from behind, and Gu Yuexuan also got out of the carriage, walked to the side of Thorn, put his hands on his back, and looked at the mountains in the distance.

Thorn didn't look up, and didn't speak, the two just stayed there for a while.

The mountains and rivers in front of me are vast, the sky and the earth are vast, and there is only the rustling sound when the strong wind passes through the reeds, but it seems that the vaster the mountains and rivers are, the more limited the sky and earth are, and the people who are with me will be closer.

After a while, Gu Yuexuan said: "Aji, when we go to Luoyang to meet Weiming, we can go to other places and see the canyon of Taihang Mountain, the waterfall of Yuntai Mountain, and I heard that there is a mountain in the middle of Songshan Mountain. This is a winery that specializes in making hawthorn fruit wine, sour and sweet, maybe you like it..."

Thorn snorted softly: "Usually you ran back after staying outside the valley for less than half a month, but now why are you not in a hurry to go back?"

Gu Yuexuan shook his head and said: "Now that you are not in the valley, why should I worry?"

Thorn was taken aback, he thought Gu Yuexuan was just a person who didn't like to play, and he never stayed outside the valley in the past few years.Xiaoyao Valley is naturally a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but no matter how good the place is, you will get bored after staying for a long time. How can you hold on to the heart of a young man who wants to go out?

In the end, it was him who tripped Gu Yuexuan back then into the valley; and it was him who made Gu Yuexuan later wander around the valley.

He felt sore, and said: "Follow you, I will go with you."

Gu Yuexuan raised his eyebrows, and said: "Aji, it's me who wants to go with you. After you left, I thought about it for a long time. I always want you to come back. Am I being selfish? The world is so big outside, don't you You should be trapped in the valley. Later, when I decided to go out of the valley, I made a plan. When I found you, I would never force you to go back to the valley. As long as you don’t dislike it and are willing to let me accompany you, I will follow you Let's go, and take a look at the many good places that I haven't been to. No matter how long the remaining days are, I can walk every day, and I can take a look... as long as I'm with you, even if it's only for a moment and a half Moment, it's all good."

Thorn was silent for a while, put down his sword, closed his eyes and lay back, muttering in his mouth: "It's all said, you can go anywhere, so many nasty nonsense."

Gu Yuexuan laughed softly, and then sat down beside Jingji.

The midday sun was a bit harsh, and the thorns would feel uncomfortable lying down. Just as a shallow gully appeared between the eyebrows, the eyes suddenly became overcast.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed Gu Yuexuan stretching out his hands to shade him from the sun, curled his lips and said "it's troublesome", then simply turned over and put his head on the man's lap.

A bit of coolness fell on the cheeks, and the thorns were itchy, so he raised his hand to grab the hanging hair and wrapped it around his fingertips.

It has been some years since he and Gu Yuexuan parted ways, but this small gesture is very habitual.Thorn remembered that many years ago, when he was still an ignorant child, he clung to Gu Yuexuan day and night, and every time he was hugged in his arms, he also liked to hold the lock of long hair hanging from the boy's shoulders like this. Let go.

Gu Yuexuan also let him grab it, until he grew his hair long enough to tie it to the back of his head long ago, he deliberately left these two strands hanging on his shoulders, even if it was inconvenient for him to punch, he still insisted on it.

Obviously, it has been several years since I took the initiative to get close to him.

Thorn gently stroked the hair that was longer but as soft as in memory with his fingers, and when he opened his eyes and saw a trace of silver in it, his heart twitched violently.

If he had known that the time was not waiting, would he have wasted those years by leaving because of his will?

He always hated that Gu Yuexuan didn't understand him, so how could he understand Gu Yuexuan before.If he was willing to look back during those years of rampage, how could he not see the sincerity that was brought to him early in the morning and never concealed?

Perhaps, he is the cowardly person.

There are many things in this world, as long as he wants, he can take them by force with the power of the sword, but there are other things, like the hair wrapped between his fingers, these soft and fragile hairs do not know where they came from. , but dare not even think about it, let alone reach out and touch it.

It's as if as long as he stretches out his hand, these threads of love will follow his heart, and he will never be able to break free in this lifetime.

Thorn spit in his heart, what are he afraid of, he has been going around for so many years, he almost died a few times, isn't it just a few decades at most, he has nothing to be afraid of anymore.

He retracted his five fingers, grabbed the lock of hair tightly, pulled the person on top of his head closer, and said viciously: "Gu Yuexuan, I don't want you for a while, I want you to live longer for me, not for a moment Get out, wait until you really become an old man like an old man, and I hate you, then I will kick you away. Do you hear me clearly?"

Thorn's grasp was a bit weak, Gu Yuexuan suffered a little pain, frowned slightly and then quickly let go, caressed Thorn's cheek with slightly cool fingers, his eyes were gentler than ever before, and said softly like a sigh: "Okay, Ah Ji, senior brother don't say anything nasty..."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head with a smile and kissed the thorn's lips.

Thorn suddenly opened his eyes wide, and then slowly closed them. The cold wind was blowing the snow and ice beside him, but he seemed to see peach blossoms blooming in Xiaoyao Valley.
