old friend wine

On the contrary, the pampered Xu Qinghan was the most tolerant, eating and living with Shen Ci every day without showing any discomfort.He really likes Shen Ci so much that even the smell of medicine that chokes his nose is blacked out by his love.

Shen Ci lay on the bed and looked at the sky, "Why don't you treat it? I can't stand it myself. After applying this ointment for a year or so, my hands are cured, but my body is suffocated to death."

Xu Qinghan pinched his thigh, hating iron for being weak, and said, "What's the point! A man seven feet tall is still afraid of the smell of medicine? A real man is to endure what ordinary people can't bear."

Shen Ci covered his face and said dumbfoundedly, "Those who know know that I am applying medicine, and those who don't know think I have fallen into a latrine. The weather is fine now, and when the wind stinks for three miles in summer, all the flies and mosquitoes in the palace will be killed Turn around me."

"Everything in the world is bound to be lost, do you still want your left hand?" Xu Qinghan rolled over and lay on his chest, drawing circles on his face with his fingers, "Just bear it for a year and a half Zai, after a long time, I found that the smell of this medicine is also very good, which makes people want to eat fish."

Shen Ci opened his mouth and gently bit Xu Qinghan's dishonest finger, and said vaguely, "I'm almost a salted fish, do you want to eat it?"

"Of course, now."

Xu Qinghan responded frankly, and his left hand followed Shen Ci's thin lips and slid over his Adam's apple, collarbone, chest and abdomen, and finally moved to an indescribable part.

So the fishy smell in the room was gradually overshadowed by the sour smell of love.

Except for arriving late, the relief work went smoothly in the disaster-stricken areas. The victims who survived the disaster could shelter from the wind and cold in temporary tents and receive three meals of hot porridge from the court every day.

Shen Ci was busy changing the dressing in the morning, so he didn't have time to eat breakfast.At this moment, Xu Qinghan came to the porridge shed to inspect the conditions of the people. The refugees had already had enough food and clothing, and there was no riot like last time. They lined up orderly with bowls to eat porridge.

There was nothing left and right, Shen Ci smelled the rice fragrance and was also hungry, so he quietly lined up at the end of the line, thinking about begging for a bowl of porridge along the way.

The porridge is thick millet porridge, and each person is given a piece of pickled radish. To be honest, this meal is quite good. It is rare to see Shi's porridge so unclear that the soup is so watery that it can reflect the figure.Shen Ci stood contentedly in the corner, put the bowl on a pile of firewood, bent down to drink porridge and gnaw carrots with relish.He misses his prince in his heart, even though there are many guards protecting him, he still stretches his neck to look at Xu Qinghan who is walking around from time to time, and bury his head in his porridge when he sees nothing unusual.

Suddenly he felt someone pulling his sleeve, with little strength and a bit of timidity.Shen Ci looked down and saw a six or seven-year-old boy sucking his thumb and looking at him with big eyes flickering.He swallowed his saliva and said in a milky voice, "Uncle, can you give me some dried fish, I really want to eat it, can you give me a little?"

"Small dried fish? And this thing?" Shen Ci stirred the porridge in the bowl with chopsticks, but he didn't find any small dried fish buried in it.His hand holding the chopsticks froze, his eyes turned and he saw his left arm, he patted his forehead and knelt down and said to the child in a good voice, "Uncle doesn't have any dried fish, there is still half a piece of pickled radish left, can you eat it?" eat?"

The child left holding the radish with tears in his eyes. After walking a few steps, he turned around and cried, "Uncle lied, I can smell the smell of dried fish!"

The old man with white beard and hair on the side couldn't stand it anymore, poked the ground with his crutches "aggressively", pointed at Shen Ci sadly, and said, "Oh, look, look at how indifferent young people are to this extent ?It’s a pitiful time for a child to lose his parents. Asking you to eat dried fish, are you still hiding it?” He tremblingly raised his head towards the sky, “Holy Lord Long En is mighty, I will give you food and shelter, are you not If you can’t get enough to eat, it’s just one bite!”

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, and helplessly wanted to defend himself, "I'm not..."

"You are not what, no, the whole porridge shed smells of fish on you, and it stinks, and you still refuse to take it out for the child to eat?" A kind young woman hugged the child in her arms and coaxed it. Then, he resigned with an angry stare.

"I do not……"

Before Shen Ci finished speaking, the little brother in charge of distributing the porridge interrupted him by knocking on the wooden barrel with a porridge spoon, and said contemptuously, "I felt something was wrong when I served you porridge. You don’t look like a refugee at all. Judging by your virtue, don’t you just come here to cheat food and drink?”

All the old and young women and children in the porridge shed whispered and pointed at Shen Ci, and some of them even started cursing directly.

Shen Ci couldn't argue, so he had to resort to 36 tricks, slipped out of the porridge shed with oil on his feet, and shook off the noisy accusations behind him in disgrace.

Xu Qinghan and the others were nearby, and they also heard the movement from the porridge shed, and when they were watching, they saw Shen Ci fleeing in a hurry.Xu Qinghan took a few steps forward, worriedly took Shen Ci's hand and asked, "What's the matter, what happened in the porridge shed?"

Shen Ci said with grief and indignation, "I can't live through this day!"

Xu Qinghan was confused, "Ah? What's the matter?"

Shen Ci recounted what happened in the porridge shed in detail.Some people are born with a special ability. No matter how tragic things are, they tell jokes when they come out of their mouths. Shen Ci is one of them. Xu Qinghan and the others hold back their laughter while listening to his narration.

"...Let me tell you, after escorting the prince back to the palace, I will go to the street to sell fish for five Wen a piece and twenty Wen three."

Shen Ci crossed his waist and said angrily.

Xu Qinghan covered his lips to hide his smile, "Can you sell it like this?"

Shen Ci was confident and confident, "Anyway, they are all stupid, they even smelled the smell of dog fish and asked me to ask for dried fish. To be reasonable, even if it is really fish, it stinks so badly, can it be eaten?"

Xu Qinghan couldn't help laughing, pulled him aside and whispered, lowered his eyebrows to comfort him, "Don't sell fish, it's so lonely to leave me alone in the palace. Good words, bear with me, your health is important."

Shen Ci sighed helplessly, "It's more annoying than not being able to use my left hand. I'm not the same as you. I'm a martial arts practitioner, and my senses are much more sensitive than yours. Then I ran away to catch my breath."

Xu Qinghan stretched out his finger and scratched the tip of his nose, "Be good, the recovery of the arm is the top priority."

"I don't know how I changed Shen Che's path with this arm. How is he walking?" Shen Ci squinted his eyes and glanced at the southeast direction, which is the position of Xiangyang Jianzong. "You little beast, go away!" It's been a long time since you wrote me a letter."

"You drove him away with beatings and scolding, does he dare to write to you?" Xu Qinghan said, "If you miss him, go to Xiangyang to see it. It seems that you really frightened Shen Che."

"Okay, just to see the courage of the world's number one school." Shen Ci looked at the orderliness and stability in the porridge shed, and said with relief, "The disaster relief matter is settled, should we go back?"

Xu Qinghan nodded, "I will return to Beijing tomorrow to report to you. If there is no new task for me to handle, I will accompany you to Xiangyang."

------

According to historical records, in the 23rd year of Daqi Jiakang, Xu Qinghan, the king of Yan, was ordered by Emperor Qiwen to go to Tianshui to relieve the disaster and comfort the people.On the day he returned to Beijing, all the people in Tianshui lined the road and kowtowed to see him off, shouting for thousands of years, which lasted for ten miles.

The exaggeration in the history books is so exaggerated that there is no limit to it. Snow is piled up everywhere in Tianshui, and there are no idle streets for ten miles for refugees to kneel down.The most important thing is that when Xu Qinghan left, he only informed the prefect of Tianshui, and the refugees didn't know about his departure.He didn't like making noise, so the group went back home in a very low-key manner either by car or on horseback.

Because it was returning the same way, there were no bumps on the way.Shen Ci sat on the carriage, rolled up his left sleeve and asked Hua Xiaowei to apply the ointment.

Hua Xiaowei knelt on the cotton pad, scraped the bottom of the small porcelain cup with a bamboo slice a few times, but still only got some ointment on the tip of the bamboo slice.She looked at Shen Ci in embarrassment, and said in frustration, "Brother Shen, the ointment is used up."

Shen Ci's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he quickly rolled down his sleeves and asked, "So you don't need to paint it anymore?"

Xu Qinghan, who was sitting on the other side of the table with his chin resting on his back, didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly to Hua Xiaowei, "Just buy more medicinal materials, it doesn't matter how expensive it is."

Hua Xiaowei said, "It's because the medicine is not easy to buy even if you spend money, so it's difficult for women."

Xu Qinghan asked, "What kind of medicine?"

"Returning to the lord, this medicine is called bone erosion flower, and it will only grow and bloom in the extremely shady place where the bones are piled up. If you go to the medicine store to buy it, I guarantee that you will not be able to buy a single flower in thousands of houses."

"Then where did you get it?"

Hua Xiaowei closed her mouth tightly, shook her head and said, "My lord, our Hua family's reliance is all on this bone erosion flower. If the place where it grows is exposed, what will you let my descendants eat?"

Shen Ci suddenly interjected, "What descendants are there? Didn't you say that your family is extinct?"

Hua Xiaowei: "..."

Xu Qinghan: "..."

Hua Xiaowei said tearfully, "Brother Shen also laughed at our family for having no males?"

Shen Ci slapped himself and clicked his tongue, "Let's make your mouth cheap!"

Xu Qinghan deliberately changed the topic, and said seriously, "Healing Ah Ci's arm is something I am determined to achieve, and I ask Miss Hua to think of a way to achieve both."

Hua Xiaowei hesitated, struggling with the hem of her clothes in a dilemma. It took a long time to make up her mind. She raised her eyes and said firmly, "Save people to the end. I will not let Brother Shen's injury go halfway. Please also ask Wang Ye and Brother Shen to accompany you." I go to the place where the medicine comes from to gather medicine, so don’t let others know about it, let alone mention it to others afterwards.”

"Okay!" The two made a decision.

Shen Ci looked at Hua Xiaowei on the left and Xu Qinghan on the right, and said slowly, "Aren't you two afraid of being tricked? Big sister, you go out alone with us two big men, aren't you afraid of encountering something? And the prince, what if the big sister takes us to some kind of dragon pool and tiger den? I am so good-looking and they will definitely not return it. Although you are a bit ugly, your identity is there, and you are more attractive than your beauty. "

Hua Xiaowei said without hesitation, "You will never have any unreasonable thoughts about me. I actively pursue Brother Shen, and even Brother Shen can't avoid it. The prince and Brother Shen are lovers, and Brother Shen is so outstanding. Let me feel ashamed, how could the prince fall in love with me?"

Xu Qinghan thought for a moment, then turned to ask Shen Ci, "Does she know martial arts?"

Shen Ci shook his head, "No, she didn't gather half of her true energy in her dantian."

"Is there something wrong with the medicine she gave you?"

Shen Ci continued to shake his head, "No, except for the medicine she mentioned that the government doctor couldn't identify, the other medicines are exactly the same."

Xu Qinghan patted the table, "Then trust her once, you will protect me anyway."

"???" Shen Ci was full of question marks, "What did you say, do you dare to say it again? Shouldn't you say 'I protect you' at this time?"

Xu Qinghan was unreasonable and strong, "I don't know martial arts."

He was belatedly aware that something was wrong, so he jumped up and grabbed Shen Ci's faces and asked viciously, "Who did you call ugly just now?"

------

The three of them left the inn quietly at night and rode fast horses to Weizhou.According to Hua Xiaowei, the bone erosion flower grows in the south of Weizhou, not very far from their current location, and it only takes one night to go back and forth quickly.The bone flower mining is also done when they arrive, so they don't need to waste time, they can rush back before dawn.

Hua Xiaowei doesn't know how to ride a horse, so Shen Ci and Xu Qinghan need someone to take her on a double ride.Xu Qinghan took over this task without saying a word, he didn't want to give Shen Ci and Hua Xiaowei a chance to be intimate with each other, watching Hua Xiaowei touch Shen Ci's arm every day was already very frustrating for him.

Shen Ci had no objection to this.At the beginning, Shen Che worried that Xu Qinghan's horse would fall off if he rode too fast. Although Xu Qinghan didn't know martial arts, as a child of the royal family, riding and archery must be a homework for him. Take the lead.Shen Ci once saw his riding skills when he was waiting outside the hunting ground, and there was nothing he could fault.Shen Che didn't know it was because Xu Qinghan had lost interest in everything since Shen Ci left, and he had been pretending to be sick for several years in hunting, so he hadn't seen Xu Qinghan's rare heroic demeanor.

The two horses galloped one after the other on the narrow mountain road. The weak gravel on the side of the road was shaken and fell down. Hua Xiaowei lay on the horse's neck, not daring to open her eyes. She was so nervous that her body was shaking slightly. Trembling - as long as you open your eyes, you will see her flying on the cliff.

But she had to open her eyes, because she knew she was almost at her destination.

"Stop...stop, it's...here." Hua Xiaowei was so frightened that her voice changed, she pointed at the turning point tremblingly.

"Woo—" Xu Qinghan reined in the horse, and the horse raised its front hooves and neighed, and it took a few steps to stop on the spot.

He jumped off the horse and stretched out his hands to help Hua Xiaowei, whose legs were limp, get off the horse.

Hua Xiaowei's lips were still pale, Xu Qinghan couldn't help asking, "Didn't you come here before? Why are you so scared?"

Hua Xiaowei replied, "The folk daughters all came here on foot along the mountain wall with their father. I never thought that riding a horse would be so thrilling."

Shen Ci turned over and dismounted, went to the edge of the cliff, squatted down, picked up a palm-sized stone, raised his arms flat, let go and threw it down.He listened intently to the sound of the stone falling and falling to the ground, and took a breath, "It's so deep, how can we get down?"

Hua Xiaowei explained, "There is a natural cave in the middle of the cliff. We can first go to the cave to settle down, then change a rope and tie it to the boulder in the cave, and climb down in two sections."

"Okay." Shen Ci took out his long thoughts and held them tightly in his hands, and swung his arms neatly into the cliff.The peerless knife really lives up to its reputation, piercing rocky cliffs is as easy as cutting tofu, and the blade sinks into three quarters with a "chuckle".Shen Ci stood up and took a step aside, and said to Xu Qinghan, "Come on, tie the rope to the handle of the knife." He couldn't move his left arm, so he couldn't do things like fasten it.

Xu Qinghan pulled out the end of the rope from the tangle of hemp rope, knelt down on the edge of the cliff and carefully wrapped the rope around the handle of the knife.This knot was related to the lives of the three people present, so he couldn't be careless.

Shen Ci arranged, "I'll go down first, and then I'll pick you up, big girl, queen." He still couldn't trust Hua Xiaowei completely, for he was afraid that she would do something wrong if she went down first, and he was afraid that she would cut the rope if she went down last. It is safer to let her go down in the middle and be a grasshopper on a rope.It's not a good strategy for Xu Qinghan to stay on the cliff, what if Xu Qinghan is murdered when they come back from collecting herbs?It's better to bring him by your side, even if something happens, Shen Ci can take care of him.

Shen Ci only had his right hand intact, and it was extremely laborious to climb the rope. He had to repeat the process of wrapping a section of rope around his arm, slowly loosening it, sliding for a certain distance, and then wrapping the rope again. Red marks.He took a rough look at the cave he was in, and saw nothing but stones in it, so he shook the rope three times regularly to signal Hua Xiaowei to follow.

Hua Xiaowei is indeed the master who has been climbing rocks and walls all year round to collect herbs, and her small and delicate body quickly fell down lightly.On the contrary, Xu Qinghan took more time, he had no experience of climbing down by pulling a rope, not to mention the bottomless cliff below, no matter who he was, he would feel guilty.He watched the sky climb down almost the whole time, and when he landed on the protruding rock, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Shen Ci naturally walked to the edge of the cave to pick him up, rubbed his red palms and said, "Take a rest before going down?"

"Okay... ah!" Before Xu Qinghan finished his sentence, the boulder he and Shen Ci stepped on suddenly split from it, and the two of them fell down the cliff together with large and small gravels.

……

Xu Qinghan felt that he was probably dead, his whole body was light, as if he was floating in mid-air.There was a vague voice ringing in his ears all the time, the voice was intermittent, and his breathing was unstable.

Shen Ci lay beside Xu Qinghan, and rested weakly on the gravel for a while, then gritted his teeth fiercely and raised his right hand, caressing his face and shaking it gently, he wanted to call Xu Qinghan, but in the end his mouth was full of words. Xuemo abruptly blocked back his unspoken words.

Shen Ci vomited a few mouthfuls of thick blood with his mouth open. With the vomit of blood, [-]% to [-]% of his remaining energy was taken away. His upper and lower eyelashes collided with each other, and his eyes could barely move. opened.

When he fell to the ground, he used Xu Qinghan as a human cushion, broke three or four ribs on the right side, and his left leg was also fractured by the falling stone.

Aside from bone injuries, the most uncomfortable thing for him is the internal injury caused by the collision. Now his entire chest and abdomen are in dull pain, and it is impossible to tell which of the internal organs is the problem.

Fortunately, Xu Qinghan should be fine, and Shen Ci still didn't forget to protect his head under his right arm, so he should only be slightly shocked, and fainted because of his weak constitution.

Shen Ci tilted his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth on his shoulder, patted Xu Qinghan's face and called him persistently, "My lord, ahem... my lord? Xu Qinghan... Please, wake up..." His eyelids lightened Trembling and about to close it, the hand stroking Xu Qinghan gradually lost strength and slipped down bit by bit.

Shen Ci originally brought the fireworks signal.Before leaving the house, he told Linghu to be on call at any time tonight, and to call for rescue in case of any accident.As a result, it was a coincidence that the fireworks tube was soaked in his blood and could not be ignited for a while.

I'm so tired, if I just fall asleep like this... No way!At least, Xu Qinghan had to be woken up, otherwise he would freeze to death at the bottom of the cliff.Shen Ci's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't know where he pulled out this strength out of thin air, and he pinched Xu Qinghan's people hard, and shouted at him at the top of his voice, "Qinghan!!"

The sound of "Qinghan" tore apart Xu Qinghan's dream, he frowning and slowly woke up, opened his eyes in a daze for a long time before he remembered what happened.He fell down on his lower back, and it took a lot of effort to sit up. He knelt and crawled to Shen Ci's side, panicked by the blood all over his body,

"A Ci!" He wanted to hug Shen Ci and lie on his lap.As a result, as soon as he touched Shen Ci, he could only breathe in the pain. Xu Qinghan's hands were empty, and he had no place to strike.

The pain made Shen Ci wake up a little bit. While coughing up blood intermittently, he asked Xu Qinghan, "Qinghan, listen to me, you should immediately go find...cough cough, find the way up, you will definitely There is a way, you have to go out..."

He swallowed the tearing pain in his throat, managed to raise his breath and continued, "That Hua Xiaowei plotted against us, the broken stone was cut neatly, and we could tell at a glance that she had manipulated her hands and feet, we all stood up and she started it." What kind of mechanism. Oh, it may also be because you are too fat and directly crushed."

Xu Qinghan's tears were about to come down. When he heard the last sentence, he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, almost blowing out his nose bubbles. He covered his lips with the back of his hand and complained, "What time are you talking about?"

"Ha." Shen Ci gave a low laugh, and looked at Xu Qinghan with a smile, his face was covered with blood, and he looked very miserable in the night, "Don't cry, good brother, my heart will break when you cry. You go out, okay, go quickly, if you stay here, you may be killed and silenced by someone."

"What about you, what about you?!" Xu Qinghan's tears fell to the ground drop by drop.He tried to wipe off the blood on Shen Ci's face, as if by wiping off the horror on the surface, Shen Ci's serious injuries would also disappear.

Shen Ci couldn't help his nose sore, he rolled his eyes to keep the tears from falling out, and said in a low voice, "You will always remember me, right? That's enough. Me, I've been waiting for you on the Naihe Bridge for decades .”

The author has something to say: I was still hiccupping when I wrote about the flower girl, but when I wrote it later, I suddenly felt sad
