After Junior Brother A Zhai goes down the mountain

"Yingshi."

Pei Lanqiu just woke up, her voice was extremely hoarse: "Scared you?"

Lin Yingshi nodded aggrievedly, expressing that she was really frightened: "Brother, do you want to drink some water?"

Pei Lanqiu shook her head with a smile, patted her junior on the back, and wrapped her tightly in a quilt—although it was the peach blossom season in the south of the Yangtze River, this place was north of the Central Plains, and it was still extremely cold.

Lin Yingshi was caught off guard and was wrapped into a fluffy ball, but she didn't dare to struggle, she curled her lips pitifully, and looked innocently at her senior brother who couldn't help laughing out loud.

Pei Lanqiu folded her arms, hugged the baby in her arms tightly, and lightly placed a silent kiss on his forehead.

For some reason, Lin Yingshi suddenly blushed with a delicate face.

"What's the matter?" Pei Lanqiu's voice was damaged by the fire poison, and it was extremely low at the moment, "Didn't you have a lot of courage before?"

——He was referring to the incident when Lin Yingshi was crying and wiped away the tears on his forehead with his lips when he was in a coma.

The boy's handsome face became more and more rosy, his peach blossom eyes seemed to be soaked in the spring rain, and he bit his lip lightly.Mingming was already ashamed as a smoking stove, yet couldn't help staring at people.

Just looking at it, you can't take your eyes off it.

Pei Lanqiu moved gently, kissing the soft top of the junior brother's head one after another.

"Yingshi, Yingshi..." He murmured softly, "What can you ask senior brother to do..."

Although his voice was hoarse, every word he uttered seemed to be soaked in love and tenderness, falling on the young man's heart little by little.

Lin Yingshi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingers curled up unconsciously.Although the young man had a pair of pink ears, he still held on to Pei Lanqiu's braid relentlessly: "Brother, in fact, just now when Big Brother Long Jiu was talking to me, I was thinking, when will you be willing to talk to Ying Shi?" How about telling the truth?"

Pei Lanqiu half-closed her eyes, and there was a gloomy flash in her good eye.

"If it wasn't for Yingshi's unreasonable and nonsense, brother must be thinking of staying with me for a while and going to danger alone, and then let Long Wuye send Sanchun, right?"

Lin Yingshi's voice gradually became quieter, and at the end she was stuffy in his arms, and seemed to have a little crying sound.

It has to be said that Lin Yingshi could see his thoughts clearly, so he almost wrote the word "see through" in his words.Seeing that his junior brother was about to be made to cry by him again, the headmaster Pei, who used to behave in front of outsiders and was not close to personal feelings, suddenly lost his footing, and said hoarsely at a loss: "Yingshi, I..."

Lin Yingshi's muffled voice came from his arms: "Why didn't you tell me the truth? Didn't Senior Brother treat Yingshi like a child?"

Pei Lanqiu was silent for a while: "...No."

If you still treat you as a child, how can you have such thoughts?

Pei Lanqiu sighed lightly, but still caressed his junior brother's shoulder unconsciously.In the end, he smiled wryly to himself, and brushed his junior brother's hair that was pushed back as if giving up on himself.

They are all people who are about to die, yet they still rely on the trust of their junior brother to get close to him... Pei Lanqiu closed her eyes and said mockingly, "Yingshi, I'm not a good senior brother."

...can't help it.As long as he sees such a vigorous and beautiful young man by his side, showing him a completely intimate smile, he just wants to lock him by his side and hold him in his arms, not letting go until he closes his eyes.

He raised his hand with difficulty, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and gently squeezed Lin Yingshi's earlobe.

Lin Yingshi grabbed her brother's finger angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, brother is the best brother."

Pei Lanqiu laughed dumbfounded.He had just suppressed those shameful thoughts, and there was a tenderness in his eyes that was no different from before.

He put the mask of good senior brother on his face again.

Lin Yingshi persevered in asking: "So brother, can you tell me?"

The boy's eyes were full of hope.Knowing most of the truth, he still stubbornly wants to get an affirmative answer from the person he trusts the most.Pei Lanqiu was silent for a long time, then said softly, "It's true."

"Yingshi, senior brother... I can't stay with you for too long."

The warm body in his arms trembled slightly.

There was silence in the carriage, only the whispers of Long Wuye and Long Jiu outside were mixed with the sound of horseshoes.As if aware of the solemn atmosphere in the carriage, Long Huayi also silenced, squatting beside his worried subordinates to load mushrooms.

The butler, Long Jiu, was very worried: "Master, inside..."

Long Huayi took out a piece of pastry from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into his mouth: "Shut up."

The bamboo curtain was blown by the wind, making a soft rattling sound.

Pei Lanqiu didn't seem to realize it, and just continued in a low voice.

"Master left me a kit. He told me that no matter which one of us wants to go down the mountain, we must open it first." He said, "The strange parts of our exercises are hidden in it, and we cannot do without the ice spring."

Lin Yingshi: "Then why senior brother..."

Pei Lanqiu said softly: "Because senior brother and the fifth prince were investigating the whereabouts of the Demon Cult together, but they accidentally fell into the scheme of their high priest."

"Originally that day, we planned to exterminate the hidden sub-altar of the Demon Cult in a village, but they threatened the whole village as sacrifices." The villagers were rescued from the strange fire. Unexpectedly, those villagers were originally members of the Demon Cult, and they were planted with fire poison by the High Priest of the Demon Cult."

——The fire poison of the Devil's Cult is very weird and difficult to deal with, even if Pei Lanqiu is carrying the elixir inherited from Fu Yunding since ancient times, he still can't get rid of it.

"Brother's eyes and face were destroyed at that time." Pei Lanqiu said softly.He tried his best to keep his voice as quiet as possible, always paying attention to the reaction of his junior brother.

"The fire poison instantly eroded my [-]% strength. And somehow, the fire poison is very effective for my cloud-covering technique—as long as I use my internal energy, the fire poison is like a gangrene attached to the bone, sweeping again, as if It's just aimed at us." The man sighed softly, "If Master Long Wu hadn't brought the powerful medicine of the palace doctor, the brother would not have survived until now."

"I also went to Dianxing Mountain to ask for help. Unfortunately, at that time, the owner of the mountain was traveling all over the world, but I couldn't meet him. And I had frequent attacks of fire poison, so I couldn't delay any longer."

"In the past three years, I spent most of my time in Yanshanwei to recover from my injuries. I just got better recently. I was allowed to go to the ground by the genius doctor." He said softly, "So I was almost isolated from the world, so I couldn't... sorry."

"Feihongying can't leave the ice spring, the one-month period has long passed. Therefore, senior brother... also..."

...can't go home either.Lin Yingshi added sadly in her heart.

Leaving Bingquan, one month has passed, and the veins of the muscles and bones have long been reversed, so I can no longer use such a light work that is unique in the world.

Pei Lanqiu couldn't continue, but stopped talking.Then I saw my junior brother move in his arms.

The young man seemed to have done some psychological construction with himself, and finally pulled himself out of Pei Lanqiu's arms, and met those eyes that could almost drown him.

He first stretched out his hand and carefully stroked Pei Lanqiu's wound and the blood splattered on the hem of his clothes, his peachy eyes were full of accusations: "Is this the 'better' that senior brother said?"

Pei Lanqiu coughed lightly, not daring to look at his junior brother's condemning eyes.

The young man didn't care about that ferocious face, pulled his skirt sadly, motioned for his senior to lower his head, and kissed the man's cheek damaged by the fire poison with the tip of his nose affectionately: "Senior brother, do you still remember the time you had with me before you left? Did you play that game of chess?"

A trace of nostalgia flashed in the man's intact eyes, and he chuckled, "Naturally."

Three years ago, Pei Lanqiu couldn't bear the coquettishness of his precious junior brother. When playing chess with him, he almost lost his mind. Only then did Lin Yingshi win—and at the same time, he lost a promise to Lin Yingshi.

"As long as it's Yingshi's request, senior brother will agree to anything." Pei Lanqiu gently stroked the young man's soft hair and said with a smile.

At that time, the young man already had the light and agile figure of a deer, his waist was as flexible and straight as the cedar that had just grown on the top of the mountain, and his peach blossom eyes were bright and full of vitality.Pei Lanqiu had already made up her mind, gritted her teeth and managed to resist the little junior brother's coquettish offensive like sticky cake - no matter what she said, she would never sleep with anyone again.

It's a pity that before Lin Yingshi secretly used this promise to fulfill "Let senior brother sleep with me for a month", Pei Lanqiu was called down to help Long Chao eradicate the Demon Cult.

Thinking of that promise, Pei Lanqiu felt his heart soften into a puddle of honey: "Tell me, brother promises anything."

Lin Yingshi's eyes were bright, just like a few years ago, as if the ice and snow had just melted in spring, revealing a warm and energetic light.

Pei Lanqiu seemed to have sensed something, she suppressed her smile, and looked at the young man steadfastly.There seemed to be a sea of ​​stars in that perfect eye, gentle and vast.

The young man spoke with unprecedented solemnity in his tone: "Brother, I want you to swear..."

"—You can never give up the idea of ​​living, and you will never leave my side. We want to go home together." The boy said.

Pei Lanqiu's expression moved slightly.

He was silent for a long time, until the sound of horseshoes outside seemed to have stopped.The horse neighed softly and was immediately calmed down.

His throat was tight: "Yingshi..."

"Hush." ​​Lin Yingshi's ears were red, she boldly stretched out her finger, and touched his dry lips, "Brother, let's go to Dianxing Mountain to find the mountain master."

"The owner of the mountain will definitely have a solution." He said.

——Even if she got the expected or even worse answer, Lin Yingshi did not intend to give up.

Pei Lanqiu has seen too many hopes in the past three years, and even more shattered ones.He also didn't care about the unusual closeness of his junior brother, so he took that restless little paw in his palm with great effort: "What if the mountain master has no solution?"

The boy's fingers were not soft, and they were calloused from holding the sword for many years.Two pairs of similar but dissimilar hands were intertwined, and Lin Yingshi couldn't help scratching her senior's palm.

Pei Lanqiu said helplessly, "Don't make trouble..."

Lin Yingshi said: "Then keep looking. At worst, I'll take all the medical books and martial arts classics down the mountain, and offer a reward to the world - invite doctors from all over the world to search together, and you will always find it!"

Pei Lanqiu helplessly grabbed his restless fingers and squeezed his face: "You still offer a reward to the world? How can you tell... If the elders are still alive, they must say you..."

"...Well. That little black cat told me that if the sects at the bottom of the mountain want to seek medical treatment, they will offer rare treasures as rewards to the world!" In my eyes, it is more precious than those things! If Master and the others are still there, they will definitely agree."

Pei Lanqiu chuckled lightly.He muttered "don't believe what's in those scriptures", but his heart seemed to be overflowing with something.

It seemed that a pair of warm hands held his heart that had gone through wind, frost, rain and snow, carefully blew it, and asked him if it hurt.

"Brother, you swear." Lin Ying stared at him intently.

Pei Lanqiu looked at him steadfastly for a moment, as if a wave of stagnation had faded from him, and then hooked the corners of his stiff mouth.

"Good," he said.

Lin Yingshi's answer was to give him a cautious hug, like a tired bird returning to the forest, secretly wiped away a little moisture from the end of his eyes.

Pei Lanqiu combed her senior's long hair slowly, she was silent for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "Yingshi, if there is a day when you recover, senior brother will tell you one thing."

Lin Yingshi hurriedly said: "Senior brother will definitely be cured! I, I am still waiting to go home with senior brother, catch up with Xiao Qi and they will hug each other!"

Pei Lanqiu smiled lightly: "Okay."

The mountain owner's whereabouts are erratic.Although Dian Xingshan is in distress this time, I don't know if I can see it, let alone the faint hope of recovery.Why don't you rot this thought in your stomach and spend these last days with Yingshi well.In this way, even if it is impossible to escape death in the end, this life is enough.

If there is such a day...it will not be too late to express your thoughts.
