old friend wine

The bitter north wind howled and blew on his face, Xu Qinghan suddenly remembered that Shen Ci complained to him one winter: "The wind is too strong, it's like a slap in the face." It really hurts, not only the face hurts, but also the eyes It hurts too, it hurts sore and swollen.He is hopeless, no matter when and where, no matter what he is doing, he will always immediately think of Shen Ci's words and deeds.

His chest felt uncomfortable as if a boulder was blocked, and the air in the surrounding world seemed to be drawn away, making his mind buzzing.The sound of the wind brought by the galloping horse was the only sound in his ears, and the scenery on the side of the road was in vain. He wanted to hurry up, escape quickly, and go to a place where he would not feel uncomfortable.

But the sky and the earth are big, and he can no longer find another Shen Ci, so what if he runs off?

Shen Che looked at the desperate Xu Qinghan in horror, he didn't have any martial arts skills, so if he fell off while riding so fast, the consequences would be disastrous.He rode his horse and followed Xu Qinghan closely, tensing up all the time, ready to give him a hand when he fell off the horse.Fortunately, Xu Qinghan had no tendency to fall from early morning to dusk. Before he could relax, he realized that he was approaching Baitan, and quickly called to Xu Qinghan, "My lord, it's been a day's journey, why don't you find an inn to rest?"

Xu Qinghan acted as if he hadn't heard it, and he didn't know if he really didn't hear it or he didn't want to pay attention.Shen Che was helpless, and after thinking for a while, he brought out Shen Ci, "My lord! Brother said, we can't leave from Baitan."

Xu Qinghan's shoulders stiffened for a moment, and he pretended to be calm and said, "What did he say?" When he heard Shen Che mentioning Shen Ci, his ears buzzed, and he couldn't hear the words behind him clearly.

"My brother said not to pass through Baitan."

"Woo—" Xu Qinghan reined in the horse, and the horse raised its front hooves to stop with a long cry.

Shen Che's horsewhip pointed at a wisp of cooking smoke a few miles away, asking for Xu Qinghan's opinion, "My lord, there is a family over there, let's rest for a night and then set off tomorrow morning."

There are only a few families in the small mountain village, and there is no inn.The two could only choose a farmer with a relatively grand house to stay. They spent a lot of money, and the host who received the money smiled and showed great hospitality, and brought out all the sake that they were not willing to drink during the New Year.

There is a small river at the entrance of the village, winding out from the mountain, flowing to the vast unknown place.Xu Qinghan twisted the wine jar and sat on the stone by the river, gulping down the wine.Standing beside him, Shen Che silently watched him finish drinking half of the jar of wine, then sighed and persuaded, "My lord, you've drunk enough, don't drink any more."

Xu Qinghan's eyes were covered with a hazy drunkenness, he straightened his arms and waved the wine jar boldly, and said with some slurred words, "I, the only brother of the Holy One today, Xu Qinghan, the king of Yan, was crowned king at the age of three, Over the years, the honor and favor of the Holy Majesty has not faded, and no one dared to disrespect this king, from the court officials to the common people, from one person to the next. "

He giggled, raised his head and drank a big gulp of strong wine, choking and coughing.Shen Che quickly patted him on the back to comfort him. He turned his elbow and refused, but continued, "Except for him...he has a very bad mouth and often scolds me. No matter how he scolds me, I listen to him, and he never gets angry once. .You try another person, and see if I don’t chop off his head! He still beat me. This is the first time I’ve been beaten for nearly 26 years. Neither my father nor my brother have ever touched a finger of me. They whipped me more than a dozen times without blinking."

He lowered his head and stared at the wine jar in his hand, "I let him beat me, let him scold me, I traveled all the way to find him in the severe cold, I confessed my mistake with all my heart and made sure I wouldn't do it again, and I begged him repeatedly in a low voice not to leave me. I have been proud for 26 years, but in the end I used all my humbleness on him. What else can I do if he wants me? If you teach me, what else can I do?"

Shen Che was momentarily at a loss for words.He also has always been brooding about Xu Qinghan's hurting his brother, and has a grudge against him.But Xu Qinghan's sad and carefree appearance looked really pitiful, and he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Xu Qinghan didn't expect Shen Che to give an answer, he raised the wine jar again and drank with his head up, but he didn't pour out a few drops after holding it upside down.He angrily threw the wine jar into the river, stood up and jumped off the rock crookedly, pulled off his collar and asked, "Why is it so hot?"

The collar was pulled to the crook of the arm, revealing a large piece of white skin, Shen Che hastily closed his eyes and turned his head away.Originally, two big men were not afraid of anything, but the key point was - this was his brother's man, so he felt that he couldn't look at it.

Suddenly there was a "plop" sound from behind, Shen Che thought something was wrong, turned around quickly, and saw that Xu Qinghan was submerged in the water, only the top of his head remained unsinkable, he was exhausted even struggling, and looked as if he was about to throw himself into the water. The lake kills itself instead of falling into the water.Without further ado, he jumped down to fish for the man, although he quickly dragged him back to the shore, but the river was icy cold at this time, and Xu Qinghan had recently been depressed because of his poor health, so he passed out when he was in the water. His face was pale, his lips were blue and purple, and he looked very scary.

Shen Che was also terribly frightened, his face was almost paler than Xu Qinghan's, and he ran all the way to carry Xu Qinghan back to the house where he was staying.He promised his brother to take good care of the prince, but in the end he made the prince who his brother had enjoined to take care of jumped into the river in front of his eyes.In case something happens to the prince, he will blame himself and feel guilty for the rest of his life, and his brother will definitely beat him to death.

Xu Qinghan was suffering from a severe wind-cold, covered with two quilts and curled up on the hot kang, still shivering, his dry and chapped lips squirmed, and said repeatedly, "Cold... Ah Ci, so cold..."

Shen Che squatted on the ground with his knees hugged, his wet hair was still dripping, he raised his head and asked the owner who changed Xu Qinghan's cold water handkerchief, "Where is the doctor?"

"He is seriously ill, and his forehead is terribly hot." The owner caressed his heart and said, "Hurry up, don't die in our house, bad luck. Walk along the road at the entrance of the village, and Baitan will be a dozen miles away. Baitan Mr. Shen Xin from Shen Medicine Hall has rejuvenated his hands, why don't you go there and try?"

"Okay, I'll ask him to come over." Shen Che stood up and raised his feet to leave.

"Mr. Shen Xin doesn't make a diagnosis, you take the patient there."

Shen Che hesitated, his elder brother's words were still in his ears, telling him not to go to Baitan, he believed that his elder brother would not aimlessly.But...he had no other choice, he couldn't just watch the prince die.

Shen Yaotang is well-known in Baitan, and Shen Che found it after asking passers-by.It has a low profile that doesn't match its reputation, it's just a hut, not as magnificent as Shen Che imagined.Shen Xin is not the old man with white beard and hair as people think, he looks very young, at most in his early twenties, wearing a simple and elegant sky blue robe, with a delicate and kind appearance.He has a pair of hands that make women jealous, white and slender, without any scars, and his fingers are slender and round.

Sitting on the side of the couch, he twisted the silver needles with his good-looking hands and slowly turned them into several acupuncture points of Xu Qinghan.

Shen Che felt extremely uncomfortable. This Mr. Shen Xin had been staring at him since he opened the door and saw him.

After applying the needle, Shen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and while wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he asked Shen Che, "The little brother's accent is not from Baitan, right? Dare to ask the little brother's name, who is he?"

Is it because of this that Shen Xin has been staring at him?Shen Che relaxed slightly, and replied, "I'm here, Shen Che, a person from the capital."

"Oh?" Shen Xin dragged out a long voice with great interest, looked at Xu Qinghan who was lying on the bed and said, "This is King Yan, am I blind?"

"You know us?" Shen Che became wary, and his internal energy began to circulate through his meridians, ready to strike at any time.

An inscrutable smile appeared on Shen Xin's face, "Young man is so rude? I saved your friend, but you haven't paid the consultation fee yet."

Shen Che asked vigilantly, "How much do you want?"

"I don't want money." Shen Xin stretched out a slender finger, "I want someone to replace him."

"Who?"

"Xiao Chen resigns."

Xiao Chen's resignation?Xiao...Shen Ci?Shen Che was stunned for a moment, and then murderous aura burst out in an instant.

Shen Xin sat still, and said leisurely, "If I don't remove the needle within three days, His Royal Highness King Yan will bleed to death from the seven orifices. I advise you to go and tell your brother what happened here."

"Oh, that's right," he added, "tell him to go straight home instead of coming here."
