The cave is hidden at the foot of the mountain behind Tiandaozong.Xing Yang felt cold all over, and followed Yu Ming with his sword in hand, without saying a word the whole way.

There was an ear-piercing contention in his head, amidst countless noisy voices, Qi Guanshui turned his head to look at him.He still looks like a soft child 11 years ago, with both hands on his chest, shaking his legs and saying, brother, put your sleeves down, it looks good.

His eyes are moist and black, like a puppy that has been wandering for a long time, wagging its tail and dangling at the corner of its master's clothes, sticking to it every step of the way, fearful of the next abandonment.Xing Yang patted his head and promised that I would not abandon you, and I will grow up with you in the future, okay?

Yuming said softly, "It's here."

The cave is covered by dense weeds and tree trunks, almost at a right angle, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. It is deep and black like a snake cave, and there are sticky and wet weeds everywhere. There are only a few steps on the mountain wall that are cut with swords. .

Xing Yang stared at the black hole stiffly, and did not move for a long time.

...he was alone in the cave.

"Go slower when going down. The inside of the cave is intricate and complicated. If you are not careful, you will get lost. Don't move around. Wait until I break the barrier before going in." Yuming looked at his back and said uneasy : "The enchantment set up by the ancestors himself, you must be extremely careful when throwing food into it, and it is easy for a living person to be noticed when it enters—"

He didn't finish his sentence.

The young man squatted down with his back facing him, and the saber fell on the soft soil without making a sound.

He is crying.

His shoulders trembled to the point of convulsions. The young man held his head and bit his lips to draw blood.He stared at the entrance of the cave intently, tears streaming down his face, and he didn't even have time to wipe them off.

Along the way, he thought about the scene where the two met many times.The boy's appearance is the same as his brother's, and he still likes to act like a baby. When he saw him, he turned his face away angrily, and muttered that he hadn't come to see me for so long and ignored you!Then coax him, say a few more nice words, praise him for his good looks, praise him for his talent, maybe the boy will happily raise his tail like he was 11 years ago; or if he is really angry, Yu Jian will leave , then he still needs to be coaxed, and the good words have to be doubled; or he is high-spirited, surrounded by many of his brothers and sisters like stars, turning his face arrogantly, saying who is this person?never seen it……

The child he once held in his hands obediently held his hem by the corner of his clothes and called him brother, coquettish and obedient, hugging his leg and unwilling to let go, following him wherever he went.Xing Yang can't wait to pass on all the ideas he thinks are correct, so that he can be a happy person for a lifetime.

Yet none of these fantasies, which paint a myriad of different pictures, are as cruel as reality.

Locked in a cave, he spent his youth like a beast.

Yu Ming said 'throw'.

The food that children depend on for survival is thrown down.He stood at the entrance of the cave with his head up, watching the alms food falling from the sky, sometimes there was, sometimes not.He was very hungry, but all he could do was stand there with his eyes open, waiting for the food to hit the ground covered in mud, or simply land on his head.

Yu Ming stood behind him silently, his hand holding the long sword tightened, and his nails dug into the soft palm.

Xing Yang stood up and showed a horrible smile: "Let's go and meet him."

Ah Shui has been inside for so long, and he has long since gotten tired of seeing the coldness, cruelty, and ruthlessness coming from his bones, so he can't put on a crying face for him.

Yuming quickly opened a corner of the enchantment, and Xing Yang almost couldn't wait to get in. He jumped down from the hole, his back and thighs were scratched by the protruding rocks, and a little blood oozes .Xing Yang didn't care about it. After falling on the ground, he took a few steps forward and changed his voice softly: "Ah Shui?"

No one answered him.

It was dark in the cave, and the small piece of sunlight that came in from the entrance of the cave hit the mountain wall, not even reaching the bottom of the cave.The chirping of birds and insects on the back mountain was also cut off, and there was no rustle of leaves blown by the wind.

Xing Yang shouted 'Ah Shui' again with a hoarse voice.He walked into the depths of the darkness, and finally met... the person he was thinking of.

The boy shrank naked in a sunken hole, shrinking himself into a ball.The hole was a little bigger than him, and according to the boy's figure, he couldn't shrink in at all—his muscles were held up by the rocks, and one depression after another was poked out.He hugged himself and didn't move, Xing Yang's voice didn't arouse any reaction from him.

Xing Yang could only vaguely see him breathing slowly, and couldn't even make out the general outline.

Something exploded in Xing Yang's head.He knew that the boy might be unconscious after not seeing anyone for such a long time, and he might even violently hurt others; he also knew that rushing so rashly might scare him——

But fuck it all!

Xing Yang rushed over fiercely, and became cautious when he stretched out his hand. He lightly touched the boy's exposed cheek, just like a child huddled in his shirt lightly touched his face in the inn 11 years ago , to touch him.

"Ah Shui..." He tried hard to pull out a smiling face, but suddenly it occurred to him in the dark who would care if he smiled or not?Tears had already rolled out, and he coaxed him in a low voice: "Ah Shui, come out, I... I'll take you to eat candied haws, okay?"

The boy raised his head in the narrow hole.This action made his cheek almost scratched by the rock, Xing Yang subconsciously stretched out his hand to block between him and the rock.

The boy didn't run away.He followed his outstretched hand to touch it, and finally rubbed it on his face.

He opened his mouth, but there were only a few vague syllables.Xing Yang hiccupped from crying, and persuaded him in a soft voice: "Ah Shui, you come out first, come out first, okay?"

——Before he finished speaking, the boy suddenly jumped forward and jumped out of the hole!The mountains and rocks drew countless deep scars on his body, the boy didn't realize it, he pinched Xing Yang's neck and pressed him to the ground, hot tears rolled down drop by drop, and his vocal cords almost slumped when he didn't speak for a long time. It has completely degenerated, and can only imitate a few syllables from 11 years ago: "...Brother...Yang...Brother..."

His voice became more and more coherent, and finally turned into a shrill roar.

"You... why don't you come to see me..."

"why……"

He buried his head into Xing Yang's neck, and said the last coherent words——

"Why don't you smile?"

Xing Yang hugged the boy tremblingly, crying so hard that he couldn't speak.

Yu Ming's voice came in from above the cave: "Xing Yang! Come out quickly! We have been discovered!"

At any rate, Xing Yang still had some sense, sobbing, he said, "Ah Shui, you get up first, and I'll take you away, okay?"

Qi Guanshui propped up his upper body and looked at him expressionlessly.In the darkness, the boy's eyes were as bright as a beast, he lowered his head and licked Xing Yang's face, and then sniffed.Xing Yang didn't move, and wanted to continue persuading him, but the young man suddenly lowered his head and bit his lip viciously.Xing Yang let out a 'huh', opened his eyes and didn't react, something greasy opened his teeth, hooked his tongue lingeringly, and swept across his mouth delicately.Like the most ferocious predators, they don't want to let go of even a little gap.

In the darkness, there is only the sound of water that makes people blush.

Xing Yang reacted and wanted to push him away, but he hesitated when he stretched out his hand.The young man's movements were extremely fierce, but there was a little fear in them. His whole body was shaking, and his two arms were almost tightening Xing Yang's body. Rather than asking for a kiss, it was more like confirming that Xing Yang real existence.

Xing Yang closed his eyes and willingly accepted the threatening kiss.

Suddenly there was a bitter wind blowing by his ears, Xing Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and raised his hand to hold the sweeping sword energy——!

Yuming stood not far away holding the sword, and choked out a few words between his teeth: "Beast!" He raised his hand and wanted to curse again, but there was another commotion outside the cave.

"Hurry up!" Yu Ming took a few steps towards Xing Yang, raised his hand to grab Xing Yang's wrist, but raised his other hand abruptly, meeting Qi Guanshui's palm!The two of them exerted a lot of force, and the ground under the feet of Xing Yang, who was standing in the middle, instantly cracked, and countless scattered small stones were splashed out, sinking deep into the mountain wall like crackling rain.

Xing Yang was caught off guard by Qi Guanshui and dragged him a few steps back.

Yuming was surprised and said: "Your meridian is not broken?" He said anxiously: "Let me take Xing Yang away first! After being discovered by other members of Tiandaozong, his fate will not be much better. If you don't want to hurt him, let him go!"

Qi Guanguo said decisively: "No."

Yuming didn't bother to talk to him any more, he raised his hand to arrest him, but heard Qi Guanshui softly said: "I know where to get out."

Yuming stopped.After hesitating for a moment, he took out the torch from his pocket and lit it.With the light source, he could see some things hidden in the darkness - Xing Yang had already clasped the boy's wrist with his backhand, making it clear that he would not leave.

Yuming: "..."

Yuming said violently: "Hurry up and tell me! If you can't tell, let him go!"

"Going in, you can go directly to the Endless Sea." Qi Guanshui hoarse, his speech was still a little incoherent, but it was much better than when he first spoke.

Yuming sneered and said, "Why don't you leave early if there is an exit?"

Xing Yang reacted quickly, squatting down and cutting off the chains on the boy's feet with a sword.Yuming choked for a moment, waved his hands impatiently and said, "Then hurry up and get out! I'll clean up the traces after you leave, and hurry up!"

Qi Guanshui pulled Xing Yang to turn around and leave.

Xing Yang turned his head and said urgently: "Can you stay?"

Yuming said impatiently, "Are you finished? Do you need to care about me?"

The figure of the young man walked further and further away, and soon disappeared.Yuming stood on the spot and complained endlessly while clearing his breath, then suddenly stopped talking after a while and sighed.

"If I could go, I would have left."

The noise in the cave was getting louder and louder, Yuming squinted his eyes, thinking that dealing with that group of people later... would be another big trouble.

The roads in this cave are intricate, and Xing Yang could barely recognize the direction at first, but after walking for a while, it became completely chaotic, and he could only walk out behind the young man.

He looked at the boy's back in a daze.He was full of words and wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say it, as if saying anything now would scare him, he had been through so much hardship in the past few years, even saying 'I'm sorry' seemed to be perfunctory.

The two soon arrived outside the cave.

The surface of the Endless Sea is vast, and the light water has ripples like fish scales. Countless lotus leaves tremble in the wind, revealing pink buds and crispy lotus roots.As soon as the wind blew, his mind cleared up a lot. Xing Yang's lips parted, and he finally had the courage to speak, but the young man suddenly turned his head around, stretched one hand around his back waist to his buttocks, and lifted him up with one hand with all his strength. He got up—it was the same movement as Qi Guanlan did when Xing Yang left the customs—then pinched his chin and kissed him gently.
