Yun Sheng Depths

What Meng Xingzhou found for Lu Jia was a small courtyard built in the west of the city.

Although the yard is not big, there are lush vegetation around it, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard from a distance.

There are several peach trees in the courtyard, which are said to have been brought by the previous homeowner from the south of the Yangtze River. As they grow, they grow shorter and shorter, and the longer they grow, the uglier they are, and they don’t bear fruit or bloom.

As soon as he got to the door, there was an emergency situation. Meng Xingzhou only left a few soldiers to help clean up the courtyard and put his luggage, and then rushed to the barracks.

Lu Jia then checked the room, Huai Qin lived with him, right next to each other.

Then go to the yard to see the flowers, fish, plants and trees.

There is a small pond in the courtyard, no fish, no lotus, just a few pebbles on the bottom of the pond.

The few peach trees are scattered in the corner of the courtyard.

Not a single leaf, whether dead or alive.

Lu Jia looked at the peach trees in the yard, and asked Huai Qin who was standing beside him, "Is this tree dead or alive?"

"It's alive." Huaiqin broke off a peach branch, and a bit of dark green oozes out from under the dry skin.

Lu Jia leaned on the railing, resting his chin with both hands, "I don't know when it will bloom."

Huai Qin looked at him firmly, "As long as you want, it can bloom anytime."

Lu Jia shook his head, "For many things in this world, it is better to be willing. It doesn't want to bloom, I force it to bloom, I am happy, but it is not happy."

Huaiqin inserted the broken peach branch into the soil, looked at Lu Jia who was leaning on the railing and staring at the peach tree, "Then I will let the things that I don't want in this world be willing."

There was a smile in Lu Jia's eyes, and he looked lazily at Huai Qin, "Really? Are you so sure?"

"What if he still doesn't want you to waste all your abilities?"

Huai Qin looked down at his hand, and there was a small vortex in those deep eyes, which was fleeting, then looked up at Lu Jia, "He will be willing."

"hope so."

Lu Jia asked again, "You said that we would take you to Lincheng in the northwest, and we did. Where are you going next?"

Hearing this, Huai Qin looked up at Lu Jia with aggrieved expression, "What do you think? Are you going to drive me away?"

Lu Jia looked into his eyes and felt his heart skip a beat, "You have saved my life and helped us out of trouble many times. Naturally, you will stay here for as long as you want."

"You won't travel thousands of miles, just for, for..."

It's not just to follow me.

Huaiqin smiled a little, and said, "I'm willing to run no matter how far in order to suck your blood. Is this a good reason?"

Lu Jia curled her lips and explained, "I'm just afraid of delaying your business."

"You are my business."

Lu Jia was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Huai Qin didn't speak any more, just lowered his head and fiddled with the peach branch.

Lu Jia squatted on the ground with him, "Where am I, you can come to me at any time. I have no intention of driving you away."

Seeing that Huai Qin still didn't answer, Lu Jia secretly thought it was funny, "Besides, I can't drive him away either."

Huai Qin grabbed his hand and touched Lu Jia's little finger with the little finger of his left hand.

Sure enough, it was a cool feeling to start.

A red thread suddenly appeared, tightly wrapped around two fingers.

Huai Qin let go of his hand, and said with a smile, "With this, I can find you everywhere in the sky and on the earth."

"Can you find it even if you're dead?"

"Unless your soul is gone, you can find it in the Nine Heavens and down the Yellow Spring Road."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lu Jia froze in place, his fingers twitching slightly.

"Xiaoqi, I seem to be moved."

"How did Mr. Lu see it?"

"Feel."

"Mr. Lu, I feel wrong too."

"Can't be wrong."

"What does Mr. Lu want to do?"

"What can I do?"

The system remained silent for a long time, until Lu Jia lost consciousness in his legs and feet, stood up unsteadily, and was moving around in the corridor before he opened his mouth.

"Mr. Lu is the one who is leaving."

Lu Jia looked at the peach branch that was broken by Huai Qin, how long could he live without the water provided by the big tree?

"After the task is completed, how much time is left for me?"

This time the system answered quickly, "Mr. Lu will leave automatically when it's time to leave."

"Can't you leave?"

"Impossible." The system replied, "Sorry."

"It's okay, I should have known."

Since then, Lu Jia has been living in another courtyard. The end of the new year is approaching, and the frontier is extremely unstable.The number of barbarian invasions gradually increased.Many people who couldn't afford to eat became bandits and made a living by robbing passing merchants.

Meng Xingzhou seldom came to the other courtyard. The military affairs were busy, and the documents from the imperial court came one after another, so he was very busy.So I asked someone to bring a message and come back at the end of the month.

Lu Jia dismissed his servants and went back to the backyard.

There are still only a few peach trees in the courtyard, and only a swing is erected in the center of the courtyard.

That's what Meng Xingzhou sent someone to do, saying it was to relieve Lu Jia's boredom.

When Huaiqin saw it, he made it bigger, allowing the two of them to lie down side by side.

When the swing was newly finished, Huai Qin pulled Lu Jia to lie down, but when Meng Xingzhou who came to visit saw him, Lu Jia stopped messing around with him.

Lu Jia picked up the water bottle and squatted under the peach tree to water it carefully.

Not long after, a shadow was cast on his body, and Lu Jia looked at the shadow reflected on the peach tree.

Lu Jia looked away, "Why did you come out?"

Huaiqin sleeps three quarters of the day.The rest is to follow behind Lu Jia.

No matter where Lu Jia goes or what he does.As long as he wakes up, he can always find Lu Jia immediately.

Lu Jia once bet against the system.Without telling Huai Qin, he went to the barracks to discuss things with Meng Xingzhou. While talking, someone informed him that Huai Qin had already arrived outside the camp.

Meng Xingzhou asked people to remove the sand table, "Brother, you are too spoiled with him. He is kind to us, so we should treat him politely, but he is always clinging to you like this, will he care about you when you marry a wife? "

Lu Jia felt a faint air rising in the air, and his fingertips twitched slightly.

He curled his lips and shook his head, "The family feud has not been reported, it is too early to say."

Meng Xingzhou didn't notice it, "My brother always wants to marry a wife and have children."

Lu Jia looked at the corner of the table and whispered, "No way."

Lu Jia touched his fingertips that were no longer twitching.

I am not from this world, it was just a dream.

After Huaiqin picked up Lu Jia that day, he no longer let him go out alone.

Lu Jia put the kettle on the stone bench beside him, "I thought you wouldn't wake up until noon."

Huaiqin took the kettle and hung it on the wall. He looked down at Lu Jia who was squatting on the ground, with a look of grievance in the corner of his eyes, "The frontier is bitterly cold, so I sleep more in winter. There is a lot of wind and sand here, and I can't sleep. safe."

Lu Jia couldn't stand his appearance the most. He had a very good appearance, but his aggrieved expression was even more touching, and even gods couldn't resist it.Let alone Lu Jia.

Lu Jia could only say, "No, it's just that you sleep too much all day and don't eat at home when you eat, so you're a little worried."

Huaiqin didn't understand, "Are you worried about me?"

Lu Jia said, "No, I'm just...forget it, I'm just worried about you." Seeing Huai Qin's obviously happy eyes, Lu Jia's tone was much more relaxed, "I didn't see you eat anything when I was in Xiaochongshan. , did you grow up drinking northwest wind?"

Huai Qin pursed his lips, his originally light-colored mouth became a little red, Lu Jia lowered his head, his heart skipped a beat.

Huai Qin approached him, biting the two spots on the back of Lu Jia's neck with his teeth, and with a little force, blood oozed out, Lu Jia remained motionless, letting him lick the blood off.

"This is the best food in the world."

Lu Jia blushed, clutched her neck and ran away.

Huai Qin didn't answer any more, just stood under the slightly elevated peach tree, the background was cold and lonely.

Lu Jia only looked back, but didn't dare to look any further.

Huai Qin twisted a hair that fell into the soil, "Bad boy."

He wrapped the hair around his little finger and disappeared in an instant.

"Liar liar."

The winter in the frontier was more difficult than Lu Jia thought.In severe winter, the wind is strong, and the wind brings a bayonet. When it is blown on the face, there is a shrill and sharp cry of ghosts and wolves, and the flesh hurts.

It was also cold on Xiaochong Mountain, but there was no strong wind with a knife in it.

What's more, he and the big snake were leaning on each other at that time, the two who were afraid of the cold, got together, and they were not afraid of the cold.

It's just that now that the snake has become a human, it's not easy to rub it anymore.

Unable to bear the cold, Lu Jia scalded his feet and wrapped all the clothes he could wrap around his body before getting into bed.

His teeth were still chattering from the cold.

When Huai Qin entered the room, Lu Jia's teeth were still chattering.

Secretly thinking it was funny, he pulled Lu Jia out of the piles of clothes and handed him a wine jug, "Don't wrap so much, you won't get hot, no amount of clothes will help. Drink some wine to warm your body. "

Lu Jia frowned and smelled the wine, "I've never drunk before."

Neither Lu Jia nor Meng Yunsheng had any memory of drinking.

It's not good if you're drunk and crazy.

Lu Jia crawled out of the bed and was about to go to the ground when Huai Qin held his feet, "Don't get down, the ground is cold."

He stretched out his hand, and there were two cups in his palm.

"Drink a little, the best peach blossom wine, there is only one pot in the sky."

Lu Jia huddled his hands under the quilt, and drank a cup with Huai Qin's hand. It was indeed a fairy wine, but he said it unforgivingly, "I'm not ashamed to sell myself."

Huaiqin nodded the bridge of his nose and said, "If I don't praise it, why would you drink it? This is my carnival wine, so naturally I should praise it."

Lu Jia turned pink all over, kicked him, and cursed: "Bad snake!"

Wine is good wine, but a snake is also a bad snake.
