original intention

Three years later, in midwinter, Xuejian Villa.

Mrs. Su's birthday banquet was full of seats. Since the Demon Slaying Conference three years ago, the head of the Wei family in Henan Yiyi Pavilion suddenly suffered a sudden illness and died, and the Wei family has gradually declined since then. The Su family of Jianshan Villa has become famous since the encirclement and suppression of Qingxuan Palace, and they have a faint tendency to lead the martial arts. This time coincides with the [-]th birthday of the wife of the late owner of Su Yu Village, and people from all walks of life naturally come to give gifts one by one. congratulate.

The silk and bamboo were pleasing to the ear, and the voices were buzzing, but the protagonist of the birthday banquet left early.

Mrs. Su looked at her son, whom she had not seen for a long time, and said, "Aran, if it wasn't for your mother's birthday, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come back."

Su Qingran plopped down on her knees, "The child is not filial."

Mrs. Su shook her head, and gently helped her son up, "Aran, your temper was different from your father's since childhood. Your father was shrewd, capable and decisive, while you were carefree, kind and gentle since childhood. But there is one thing, you father and son are very different. It's very, very affectionate."

Su Qingran raised her head in astonishment, and Mrs. Su continued, "Think about how prominent the Su family's martial arts status was in Gusu back then, but your father insisted on marrying me, a young lady from a family with no status in the world, and our family has been married for generations. The scholarly family naturally disagreed with me joining the bloody rivers and lakes gangs, and your father insisted on marrying me into the family under such circumstances."

Su Qingran shook her head in surprise and denied, "How can a child compare to his father? No child has ever..."

Mrs. Su smiled lightly, "Aran, you are really old and useless, back then... well, don't worry about it, Miss Zhuo's family has been waiting for you for the past three years, just now at the birthday banquet You still rejected him."

Su Qingran apologized, "The child is unfilial and has brought so much trouble to the Su family."

Mrs. Su didn't answer, and continued, "For the past three years, you have been in the Western Regions. Mother knows that you have always had obsessions and knots in your heart."

"What?" Su Qingran opened her mouth in real surprise at this moment.

Mrs. Su's well-maintained face is no longer young, but at this moment she has a mischievous look like a girl, "I think when I was still in my boudoir, I read some idle books and wild history with my friends in the boudoir, such as Wei Ling Gongfen Tao Love, the righteousness of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty cutting his robe..."

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Su Qingran became more and more frustrated as he heard it.

Mrs. Su didn't seem to be joking, her expression became more serious, "My child, love in the world has no rules and disciplines, and there is no worldly vision at all. The only word is Congxin, you have grown up, let go of the previous chaotic grievances and grievances." Well, you came back in a hurry this time, so go outside the village and have a look if you have time."

Su Qingran's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason her heart was beating so hard, she asked hesitantly, "Mother, do you know something?"

Mrs. Su withdrew her playful look, "Mother doesn't know anything, she just wants you to be safe and happy in this life."

The luncheon was coming to an end, but the lively sound of silk and bamboo in the whole villa was still going on. For this birthday banquet, the whole villa will be full of excitement for three days.

Today's weather is not so good, the sky is gloomy with lights and festoons, the snow gradually started to fall in the afternoon, Su Qingran didn't wear a cloak, his body is no longer as frail and timid as in Qingxuan Palace in recent years It's cold, and wearing a pale brocade robe makes people feel a bit colder.

Su Qingran looked up at the sky, the snow was gradually increasing, but Su Qingran suddenly thought that it was also the middle of winter, and the crow-colored eaves were covered with snow, the man held a snow plum in awe.

Su Qingran thought of her mother's words, and walked out of the villa involuntarily. It became colder and colder, and the doormen of the villa put their hands in their sleeves and leaned against each other. Su Qing Ran approached and heard them talking and laughing, "Oh, look at that beggar, who has been outside our villa for so many years, but this winter is extremely cold, this beggar is probably frozen like a dead dog .”

Su Qingran was mixed with the wind and snow, vaguely heard the word "dead dog", and couldn't help asking, "What dead dog?"

The two gatekeepers suddenly heard the inquiry from behind, they trembled in fright and turned their heads, only to find that it was the young owner who seldom came back to the village, they knelt down in fright and begged for mercy, "Young owner, please spare me, it's so cold that we can gather around Get warm."

Su Qingran ignored it, and continued to ask persistently, "What kind of dead dog?"

One of the gatekeepers raised his hand and pointed to the corner three or five feet away from the gate of the villa, "Here, there is a beggar over there who has stayed in front of our villa for several years. It is because of the kindness of the old lady, otherwise he would have been driven away. .”

Su Qingran looked in the direction, and saw a small black lump in the corner of the wall, which did not look like a person. The corners of the dilapidated single clothes were swaying against the wind in the wind and snow, and white snowflakes were dotted It was covered with the man's disheveled hair, and the hair was really messy, like withered straw, almost covering the entire face, and even the outline could not be seen.

Su Qing walked towards the dumpling as if suffering from a demonic disease, one step, two steps, three steps... getting closer and closer, the dumpling seemed to hear the movement, moved uncomfortably, and tried to change into a relatively warmer posture.While flipping, there was a hint of facial features, but Su Qingran couldn't help exclaiming softly, "You!"

Hearing this extremely soft exclamation, the group suddenly opened those eyes amidst the wind and snow with fluttering hair, but there was unbelievable panic in the eyes that were as bright as stars, and the whole body seemed to be frozen. Su Qingran was unable to move, but Su Qingran could feel the man dodging in a panic, while the cold and white lips murmured silently, "Ah..."

Su Qingran was stunned on the spot and couldn't move any further. For the first time, he deeply felt the affection conveyed by the man in such a brutal and straightforward way.Outside the villa... the beggar who has been squatting for several years...

Su Qingran vaguely remembered that after rescuing Nan Jin from the fire that day, he was wavering in his heart. He instinctively didn't want him to die, but he couldn't let go of his hatred and be with him again. Perhaps after all these years, he had already gotten used to it. Nan Jin's strength, even if the veins in his hands and feet were severed, even if he was covered with internal and external scars, Su Qingran never thought about what would happen if he left him, so he just placed him in a ruined temple in the suburbs, and he was anxious Leave in panic.

In the days to come, I always didn't have the courage to go back to look for that person, but I couldn't help but think of that person's limbs and feet just like myself, clamoring in my heart not to owe that person, so I rushed to the Western Regions, to that person. Chu Nanjin once took him to the small courtyard, inquiring over and over again to find the so-called elixir, staying for several years, but there was no progress...

But what is that man doing?He didn't care about it, just waited and waited at the door of his house, did his hands and feet heal, did his martial arts recover, was he still that Nan Jin that everyone in the world was afraid of?

He couldn't imagine how many days and nights he had endured the cold in winter, the scorching heat in summer, the ridicule of passers-by, and the beating of servants in that corner, let alone how he felt when he was sick, hurt and hungry. After getting through it... He just discovered it suddenly, and there is a feeling called heartache.

He was still standing there blankly, he suddenly remembered what his mother said, he was safe and happy, but in the days of Qingxuan Palace, his body was taken good care of, such a decisive person has no pretensions in front of him, She bears with herself everywhere, endures the pain to accompany her to test medicines, makes birthday noodles for her birthday, takes herself thousands of miles to find elixir...

Su Qingran was still contemplating, but a servant called from behind him, "Master Young, please make it easy for me to find, it's very cold today, put on this eiderdown cloak."

Su Qingran came back to his senses, but turned around quickly, took the cloak, turned around and wrapped it around the ball in the corner without hesitation, the servant looked at Su Qingran in astonishment.

Su Qingran didn't wait for the boy to digest his astonishment, then he continued to make moves, picked up the black dumpling wrapped in a big cloak, and walked towards the villa.

The little servant kept persuading, "Young master, you can't do it, you can't do it, this... How can this dirty beggar be brought into the villa, not to mention how many heroes of the world are in the villa these days, and they are seen by others. You want to ridicule our Xuejian Villa. Ah...Young Master, wait a minute, the Master will definitely blame the slaves if he finds out."

Su Qingran didn't stop, turned her head and said, "The owner of the village is blaming you, so if you say you won't let him in, the young owner of the village will follow the beggar into the rivers and lakes."

The little servant looked puzzled, scratched his head and looked at the sky speechlessly, "Where is this place? Can the young owner still fancy a beggar?"

The person in his arms was wrapped in a heavy cloak, and amidst the frightened cries of the boy, a smile so warm as to melt snow appeared at the corner of his mouth.

A few months later, a carriage drove out of the city against the spring wind and walked slowly on the outskirts of the city.

In the carriage, although it is early spring, it is still covered with a thick blanket. The carriage is very spacious. There is a small square table in the middle, and a few books are scattered on the table. There are two rooms, a medicine stove is fixed in the interlayer, and a few wisps of medicinal fragrance faintly rise from the top of the black pottery medicine pot...

Nan Jin was covered with a thin blanket and placed in the carriage by Su Qingran, while Su Qingran himself passed the time with a volume of books.

Nan Jin's complexion recovered a lot, but there was more warmth in his deep eyes, and he asked, "Aran, do you really decide?"

Su Qingran rolled her eyes, "Could it be that you still want to go back on your word, my mother, you've seen her before."

Nan Jin smiled faintly, "Of course not, where are we going now?" He said to himself, "It's fine to go anywhere, and it's not bad to go back to Dali."

Su Qingran's expression remained unchanged, but he said, "How about going to the Western Regions? Let's live in that small courtyard. I heard that there are many rare medicinal materials in the Western Regions. Let's open a small medical clinic and learn from those apricot forest masters who hang pots to help the world." ,OK?"

Su Qingran was afraid that Nan Jin would refuse, so she couldn't help but joked again, "Now you are also a patient, and you will have to listen to me, a doctor, in the future."

Nan Jin's heart moved slightly, knowing that Su Qingran wanted to find the elixir that he had taken back then, but let alone whether there was any elixir, even if he could find it, the growth period of "Xueliqing" would take a full ten years. But Jhin has no intention of telling Su Qingran the truth, as long as he is willing, there is no harm in accompanying him to search slowly. The past three years have already wiped out all the pride in the world, and everything is just like a dream, but what he wants Isn't the moment that you want to have in this life and pray for it not at hand?

A warm smile appeared on Nan Jin's face, Su Qingran was very close to him at the moment, he threw Su Qingran down, put his arms around the man to undress him, Su Qingran was afraid of hurting Nan Jin but did not dare Without moving, the white jade-like skin was exposed, Nan Jin teased, "Patients first try the doctor's medicine to see if it works?"
