Alternative Jianghu Adventures

It is said to be a four-story ship, but the number of passenger cabins is not many including cargo and sailors.

In order to decorate more people, more than a dozen people from poor families get together and squeeze into a palm-sized place. Even Xia Yun and his party can't have a single room. At most, a room for two people is already good. treatment.

After the discussion, Xia Yun and Qiao Anyue were in the same room, and Lan Sang and Yu Ying were barely compatible.

It was already late at night when he came out of Cheng Zhe's room on the first day of the junior high school.

Xia Yun only went out to fetch water, but saw that his cabin was empty, and Qiao Anyue, who came back together, was nowhere to be seen.

"This man..." Xia Yun shook his head helplessly, put down the hot water in his hand and went out after a little thought. Qiao Anyue's figure was found in the kitchen!

"I knew it."

Xia Yun slipped to Qiao Anyue's side, grabbed a handful of dried five-spice fish and put it in his mouth, praised inarticulately: "You processed this, right! How could the cook on this boat make such a delicious dish?" s things?!"

Qiao Anyue turned around and moved the plate of dried fish to the side. She really didn't want her food to be squandered like this, so she said coldly, "Why are you here? Go back first, I'll be there later."

"I see that you didn't move your chopsticks twice when eating in Cheng Zhe's room."

Xia Yun didn't pay attention to Qiao Anyue's advice at all, walked to the wooden barrel next to the wine, poured himself a bag full of spirits, and found the back kitchen door The two guards on the side were being knocked out and dragged to a corner of the room, they shrugged and walked back and said:

"When I ate it, I expected that you would not be used to the ingredients on this boat—as expected, now I ran to the kitchen to start a small stove by myself!"

"So what?" Qiao Anyue asked confidently.

"I'm talking about you, even if it's like this now, it's no different from when I was a child!" Xia Yun put Qiao Anyue on the shoulder, and made a gesture to lead him out of the door, "It's still so incomprehensible! Come on, come on." , this supper, of course, you have to find a place with good geomantic omens to eat it, so what's the point of being bored in the kitchen like you! It's really a sight!"

While speaking, Xia Yun dragged Qiao Anyue to the deck outside.

She looked around, and most of the sailors were asleep late at night, and the night watchmen only occupied necessary positions, and there were not many of them.Even if he sees a guest leaving the room, he will conscientiously turn a blind eye.

"Come with me."

Relying on his good lightness kung fu, Xia Yun flew up to the side of the boat with his wine bag and dishes in his hand, stood on the bow of the boat in a few steps.

She turned her back and faced Qiao Anyue. The sea breeze blew her braids back from behind. The black hair almost blended with the ink color. Create a vague outline.

"Come up!" Xia Yun smiled slyly at Qiao Anyue.

Qiao Anyue lost her temper because of this man's spookiness, she leapt and flew towards Xia Yun.

The bow of the boat is sharp, and at most only one person can stand on one foot.

The two had no choice but to take the next best thing, and took a step back from each other, but they were still close to the bow of the boat, rubbing shoulders, and the sound of each other's heartbeats could be clearly seen under the moonlit night.

"Do you dare to sit down like this?"

Xia Yun smiled playfully, took the lead in pulling up his hem, and sat on the ground as if nothing existed along the ship's crossbar, with his legs hanging on the outer edge of the ship's hull, and the waves of the dark seabed below the ship were faintly visible.

Qiao Anyue draws on the gourd. Although the two are sitting with their backs facing each other, they are not facing each other. As long as they turn slightly sideways, they are no different from sitting side by side.

"The galaxy is brilliant, the wine and meat are in your arms, and the beautiful scenery on a good day, isn't it painful!" Xia Yun choked out sixteen words in a rare manner, "Yue'er, for supper, of course you should blow the wind and look at the stars to have a good time! You say Yes or no?"

The galaxy above the head was brilliant, and the silver light poured down and landed on the top of the two people's heads, refracting the lingling waves that sometimes appeared and disappeared on the sea surface.

Qiao Anyue was noncommittal to Xia Yun's "romantic" behavior, and silently ate the assorted sauce on the plate in her hand.

After a long time, she finally spoke: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Xia Yun stopped drinking.

"You saw it..." She scratched her head in embarrassment, "Since you recovered, there have been people around you all the time, and we haven't had a serious chat between the two of us."

"If I can't see it, I won't be called Qiao Anyue."

The sea breeze whistled in my ears.

"Just now... I heard what you said to the first day of the junior high school."

"so?"

"Do you still remember our bet?" Xia Yun took a sip of his drink, and laughed out loud, "At the beginning we bet on whether you had feelings... Now it seems that I won the bet."

"The words of the crown are just out of etiquette." Qiao Anyue shook her head, "What's more, even if I feel grateful for the first day of junior high school, it's just a special feeling that arose from getting along day and night in my childhood, and it doesn't explain anything. .”

Xia Yun didn't agree with this, and there was a sour taste in his words that he didn't notice, "If you said you knew each other when you were a child, then why didn't you even show me a smile all this time?"

Qiao Anyue paused for a while holding the assorted sauce, and tilted her head slightly, Xia Yun's slightly self-deprecating side face was fully displayed in her eyes.

"That's different."

"Why is it different?"

In terms of the time of acquaintance, Xia Yunxian met Qiao Anyue in the first day of junior high school!

"Xia Yun, I don't understand why you are so obsessed with me?" Qiao Anyue sighed, "After all, we have only known each other for two years. Since you climbed the wall of my house when you were eight years old, until... we When the accident happened when I was ten years old, only two years passed in between."

"What do you want to say?"

"But I have known each other for 12 years in the first day of junior high school." Qiao Anyue looked up at the stars above her head, as if feeling something, "12 years is enough for me to treat him like a brother. But Even though we are like brothers and sisters, the reason why he took pains to help me escape is only because of Joan Ri, who is [-]% similar to me—my elder sister.

I don't understand why you have been looking for me so persistently for so long, even though I have only known you for two years.Even if I found it now, I still refuse to let go. "

Qiao Anyue has observed the lives of many people, and also pondered the thoughts of many people.

In her opinion, there must be a reason for everything that happens in a person's life.

Human desires are endless, so those who are cruel dare to do things that ordinary people cannot do.

The first day of junior high school helped her because of Qiao Anri, because Qiao Anri had devoted his life to protecting her, a younger sister who had never met before, so the first day of junior high school was willing to fulfill his ambition and live up to his trust.

Cheng Zhe helped her because of the first day of junior high school, and because Cheng Zhe needed the martial arts of the first day of junior high school to defend himself, so he offered favors to win people's hearts.

But Xia Yun's obsession with her was simply groundless.

If it's friendship, it's just a kid's joke. Two years of memory can easily be washed away by time, let alone a child who doesn't remember anything?

Before, Qiao Anyue thought that Xia Yun would hate her deeply - after all, everything was caused by her, if it wasn't for her, her partner back then would not have been killed by Gao Shiyuan, and Xia Yun would not have suffered from broken tendons and pulses .

But Xia Yun did not.Not only did not, but also fell into unwarranted self-blame.

Xia Yun's kindness to her was so taken for granted that she had no way to figure out what Xia Yun was planning.

"Really... only two years..." Xia Yun was taken aback by Qiao Anyue's reminder, and then giggled, "It's only two years!

However, in my eyes, it seems to cover my entire life. "

Xia Yun leaned back lazily, leaning on Qiao Anyue's shoulder naturally, with thousands of stars reflected in his eyes, "Maybe it's because of his young age, so after watching that scene, he immediately felt that the sky was about to collapse. , Later, my meridians were broken, and I thought it was my fault day and night. The more I thought about it, the more this past thing was wandering around in front of my eyes... I didn't expect that it was going around in circles, and it was wandering around in front of my eyes in the blink of an eye. 12 Year."

She laughed at herself, "Thinking about it now, I feel like it happened yesterday. Do you think I'm stupid for doing this?"

The youth was ignorant and felt that everything in the world was just the land in front of him, so as long as it collapsed a little, he felt that he had fallen into a place of eternal doom.

Qiao Anyue was speechless.

She didn't expect Xia Yun to think so.

"I understand." Qiao Anyue closed her eyes, "Me too... almost."

Xia Yun was stunned for a long while, then murmured, "Yes, I almost forgot to ask, how have you been in the past 12 years?"

How else can I live?

Qiao Anyue opened her eyes, "When I didn't think of anything before, all I could think about was killing people. After receiving the order, I killed people. When I closed my eyes after killing people, all the blood splattered all over the sky. Occasionally I will have dreams about the past, but every time I wake up, I will stay on the picture of swords and blood."

The sea breeze is blowing head-on, as if someone is whispering in the ear.

"When I think about it, those things only increase and never decrease. Sound, light and shadow..." Qiao Anyue's voice weakened as she spoke. She felt that it would be boring to say more, and finally concluded in four words: "Swing Do not go."

What Qiao Anyue didn't tell Xia Yun was that every time she encountered such a situation, she would repeatedly rehearse the past memories that she recalled or dreamed about in her mind.

Obviously there were only two incomplete years, but those faint cries, vague silhouettes, fragmented words...every vague fragment that could be recalled by her was crushed and chewed in her mind—but still It's too fresh to look like.

Even though 12 years have been like a day, every day in the previous two years was different.

Xia Yun was silent.

"Feel sorry."

After a long time, she finally said something.

Qiao Anyue shook her head, "It's okay, anyway, I...don't care."

Xu felt that the atmosphere of the two chatting was too awkward for her now, so Qiao Anyue thoughtfully changed the topic——

"Don't just talk about me, let's talk about you." Qiao Anyue pointed sideways at the wine bag in Xia Yun's hand, "I always wanted to ask, I remember when you were young, you couldn't stand the taste of alcohol the most, why are you addicted to alcohol now? Like life?"

"Do you still remember that I didn't like drinking when I was a child!" Xia Yun laughed bluntly, his eyes almost narrowed, "I have a good memory!"

Xia Yun handed the wine bag to Qiao Anyue, "Do you want some?"

"I don't drink."

"Pretentious!" Xia Yun took another sip suddenly, and coughed again and again because of his haste, "When I was learning Chinese characters, I thought there was a poem that was written very well, so I tried it again."

"poetry?"

The difference between practicing calligraphy and reading and being illiterate in memory is too great, and Qiao Anyue lost her mind for a while.

"Yes, poetry." Xia Yun raised the wine bag in his hand, "When I read the four words 'how to relieve worry', I couldn't help it, so I asked someone to buy some to taste, and unexpectedly felt that it was not as spicy as before. , and then the more you drink it, the more fragrant it becomes..."

Why worry?

Only Du Kang.

Qiao Anyue understood.

The meridians were broken, and the companion died.

What kind of courage does it take to be able to only "worry" but not "die"?

"At that time, I thought, maybe you haven't died yet... Maybe I will find you one day... Xiao Feizi was also around to persuade and persuade, thinking about it, thinking that it would be true if I died. No one is looking for you anymore, and you can't leave the mess left by the master alone... Otherwise, I would be too incompetent as an apprentice.

Thinking of this, I gradually slowed down. "

Xia Yun squeezed the wine bag tightly, let go of it suddenly, spilled the spirits in the wine bag to the boundless sea under his feet, giggled, "Speaking of which, I haven't told them the happy news since I found you... As the night is just right, Come on, say hello."

"Feel sorry."

Qiao Anyue thought about it, but there was nothing else to say except for these two words.

"You don't need to apologize to me." Xia Yun suddenly turned around——

The distance between the two was too close, Qiao Anyue had already sat sideways before.And Xia Yun's movements were too hasty, his lips almost brushed Qiao Anyue's cheek and faced him.

almost.

The two pulled back a little distance at the same time.

"Yue'er," Xia Yun called to Qiao Anyue, and the starlight illuminated her outline extremely softly in the night, "You don't know how happy I am to be able to find you."

It's not just as simple as the feeling of guilt being relieved. She, Xia Yun, had no father or mother since she was a child, and was able to survive due to the favor of others.

Every friend you meet in your life is a relative.

After the incident 12 years ago, Xia Yun no longer dared to make friends casually, fearing that he might encounter danger and be unable to protect him.So simply stop the possibility of making friends at the source.

Reticent, few words, casual friendship.

This is wood.

Shen Yuan Pavilion, who walks alone and has no relatives or friends, is at the top of the list.

Xia Yun sent the wine bag to Qiao Anyue, stopping Qiao Anyue's hesitant words, "I said it, you don't need to apologize to me. If you really want to say something, just drink it."

"It's all in the wine."

Including Xiao Feizi's share, including 12 years of going around, including the sense of self-blame that kept both of them awake at night.

It's all in the wine.

When the time was already ugly, Qiao Anyue took the wine bag silently, took a sip, coughed twice, and returned it to Xia Yun.

"Turn your head away," she said. "Don't look."

Xia Yun smiled lowly, and drank the rest of the spirits without hesitation on the starlight.

She felt a heavy pressure from her back shoulder, which almost knocked her to the bottom of the sea.

Xia Yun quickly supported the side of the boat with his hands, and took Qiao Anyue's waist with one hand to bring him to the deck.

"...I have to be willing to drink." Xia Yun muttered, reaching out to poke Qiao Anyue's flushed cheeks, "Just one sip is enough, how bad is the alcohol capacity!"

Qiao Anyue was already drunk.

Xia Yun sighed, picked him up across the waist, and strode back to the cabin of the two of them.

When she put the person back on the bed, she keenly noticed that there seemed to be crystals dripping from the corner of Qiao Anyue's eyes.

"...and said he didn't care..."

Xia Yun shook his head with a smile, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Qiao Anyue's eyes, and said in an extremely gentle tone, distressed and helpless, "You little liar."

Qiao Anyue has been able to deceive others and herself, but she can't deceive Xia Yun who has been fooled twice.

"There are only three things, do you hear me?"

Xia Yun smiled and smoothed Qiao Anyue's frowning eyebrows.

What responded to her was another tear that Qiao Anyue held back.

The author has something to say: I was suddenly stabbed by my own knife... I really, my original intention was to write a sweet scene similar to that in the Titanic!A lesson from heaven and earth! ! !
