Raiders, loyal dog

Said, but relatively, the physical strength of the whole person plummeted, until finally successfully turned into a scum with a combat effectiveness of five.

However, the strange thing now is that Qiao Zhibai, who usually has to pant after climbing the fifth floor, suddenly felt that he was so light as a swallow when he went down the mountain today.Originally going down the mountain, Qiao Zhibai reckoned that it would take at least two hours to go up, but in fact, he reached the foot of the mountain with ease in less than half an hour.And, most importantly, I didn't really feel tired at all.

Qiao Zhibai stood at the foot of the mountain, turned his head, with an incredulous expression on his face, silently looked at the small hill behind him, and after a while, laughed playfully: It seems that this looks a bit cheating." Soul body travel" isn't really useless!

After "changing clothes in one second", he got this kind of skill similar to lightness kung fu again. Qiao Zhibai believes that even if there is no food, housing and pocket money this time, with so many counterfeit gifts from the Planning and Wearing Committee Heaven's Goldfinger, this time the second soul body crossing must be a five-star praise without explanation!

Qiao Zhibai, who instantly increased his mood to MAX, easily walked the winding mountain roads. These mountain roads that tortured him to the point of collapse on weekdays, now it feels so stress-free to walk!However, the facts tell us that we should keep a low profile and never be too happy too early.

Qiao Zhibai hid behind a huge old tree, looked at the pair of young men who were fighting vigorously a hundred meters away, and didn't know whether he should turn around and leave immediately, away from the right and wrong place, Still squatting here, silently praying that they will end quickly so that I can pass.

To be honest, this kind of joke about the ancient world's grievances and killings is often played on TV. As a viewer, Qiao Zhibai is also very happy watching through the screen.However, this is a different concept from live broadcasting.Watching at such a close distance, what if you accidentally hurt it?Qiao Zhibai was very hesitant. You know, he still doesn't know whether the so-called "unharmed" physique is a lie to him.

But fortunately, long before Qiao Zhibai finished tangling on one side, the battle there had come to an end.

Qiao Zhibai watched the boy in black take a strange step back, then dropped the long sword with a gap in his hand without hesitation, then quickly pulled out a soft sword that reflected cold light from his waist, and swung Xiao Qinggong quickly moved forward for half a step, then turned around, raised his sword fiercely and stabbed at the opponent's left abdomen.

The seemingly soft sword body immediately sank into the opponent's body in an unsoft manner, and a large amount of blood quickly gushed out at a speed visible to the naked eye, dyeing the waist of the blue-clothed boy's coat red.The boy in blue suffered a big loss. After secretly calculating his gains and losses, he no longer wanted to fight. He cut his body off, then stepped back, stamped his feet on the ground, and disappeared before Qiao Zhibai's eyes in the blink of an eye.

The fight didn't take too long from the beginning to the end, but Qiao Zhibai was stunned by the intensity and the dazzling swords and swords, even without the exaggerated special effects on TV.

After watching such a life-and-death struggle, and recalling the fights of those second-year middle school children, Qiao Zhibai shook his head and sighed: They are all so weak, so weak.

However, now that the winner has been decided, the remaining one is probably about to leave, right?Qiao Zhibai made up his mind and didn't plan to change the road. He just leaned against the tree quietly, waiting for the boy in black to leave.

However, what he didn't expect was that after the defeated blue-clothed boy left, the black-clothed boy still stood straight on the spot without moving an inch. Judging by that posture, not only did he have no intention of leaving, but he also had the intention of leaving. One point is to stand here until the old taste.

Qiao Zhibai looked behind the tree for a while, feeling a little puzzled.Carefully looking at the boy's profile, a thought just flashed into his mind. Suddenly, a hundred meters away, the boy staggered as if he could finally lose his strength, and then fell down heavily.

The muffled sound of the body falling to the ground was quite loud, and Qiao Zhibai couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard it.

It seems that although the boy in black won, he didn't take much advantage.Looking at the situation, Qiao Zhibai reckoned that as long as the blue-clothed boy waited a little longer, the life of the black-clothed boy might be lost.

After waiting for a while, Qiao Zhibai slowly came out from behind the tree when he saw that the boy had really stopped moving.

However, according to the current situation, in such a barren mountain and wild land, the boy suffered serious injuries behind him. Even if he escaped from the blue-clothed boy, Qiao Zhibai felt that the black-clothed boy Juveniles may not be able to survive.

Although he didn't really want to see a life disappear in front of him like this, Qiao Zhibai knew after thinking about it that as long as he got involved with this young man, his life would probably become extraordinarily "rich and colorful" in the future.For this, Qiao Zhibai expressed his gratitude to Bumin: He still wanted to go to his Xiaoxiu earlier, how much trouble did he get into for no reason by being tied down by such a person?

Besides, he is poor and white now, he has no medicine on his body, and he has no money to buy medicine. He thinks it is wiser for him not to go into this muddy water.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhibai tried his best to suppress the trace of guilt in his heart, and moved a few steps, intending to go around the boy in black.But for some reason, just as he was passing by the boy, an inexplicable force forced Qiao Zhibai to pause again, and glanced sideways at the boy in a strange way.However, it was this glance that completely stopped Qiao Zhibai from leaving.

That somewhat familiar silver mask...

Qiao Zhibai's heartbeat suddenly became very fast, and his brain went blank for a few seconds, and then he came to the boy's side almost like a trot when he came back to his senses.Qiao Zhibai half-bent down, and the hand outstretched towards the unconscious boy in black almost trembled.

However, at this moment, a sudden mutation occurred.The young man who was unconscious on the ground suddenly made a move, grabbed Qiao Zhibai's wrist, and then quickly took out a dagger with his right hand, ready to stab Qiao Zhibai's heart very quickly.

All the actions happened between lightning and flint. However, at this moment, Qiao Zhibai looked at the boy who was very familiar to him, his mind was still blank, he just opened his mouth and almost subconsciously shouted at the boy. Said: "Xiaoxiu!"

Holding the dagger, the young man suddenly froze as he stabbed at Qiao Zhibai.As if all parts of his body were rusted, he was stiff for a long time, and then he raised his head little by little, and then, as if he was trying to confirm something, with a little anxious expression, he traced Joe over and over again with his eyes. Zhibai face.

His movements were too fast, and the dagger had already pierced a sharp point in Qiao Zhibai's chest. Ling Zixiu's face turned pale for a moment, and the hand holding the dagger trembled violently. His lips trembled, and his voice became anxious. He tuned: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Do you hurt? Does it hurt? I'm sorry, don't be angry, I didn't mean it."

"Shh, shhh, good boy, it's okay Xiaoxiu, how could I be angry? You see, you just cut my clothes, nothing else happened," Qiao Zhibai took Ling Zixiu's hand, lightly Gently pulled out the dagger, and then secretly frightened by the thrilling scene just now, luckily the committee did not deceive him, it really gave him an "invulnerability" physique, otherwise, Xiaoxiu's blow would have really killed him "Look, am I alright?"

Ling Zixiu looked up and saw that the dagger was indeed not stained with blood, and countless emotions surged in his heart.In the duel with Lan Jiu, although he narrowly won a trick and tricked Lan Jiu to leave early, but because he had already been plotted against by others before, if he met another one, he might not be able to hold on if he faced it head-on.

After the duel, he realized that there were other people around him, and because he was worried that they were other competitors waiting for the opportunity, he deliberately pretended to be unconscious, only wanting to kill the other party first when the other party came over to kill him carelessly.

He is injured, and fighting alone is not an advantage, so he only has one chance.And in order to hit a sure hit, he must have made a deadly move.Even if he heard Qiao Zhibai's voice and stopped his movements as quickly as possible, based on his strength, it would not be as simple as just tearing his clothes.

He was sure that no matter which angle he judged from, his dagger was definitely pierced into Qiao Zhibai's chest just now, and he almost killed him just now!But how is it possible now...

Qiao Zhibai didn't notice Ling Zixiu's distraction, he put his arms around Ling Zixiu's body, and gently reached out to remove Ling Zixiu's silver mask covering the upper left half of his face.Ling Zixiu was startled, and subconsciously prepared to stop Qiao Zhibai's movements, but in the end, he still endured it forcefully.

"Xiaoxiu's eyes are still so beautiful!"

After so many years, Ling Zixiu is no longer the skinny kid he was back then.The originally childish and cute Lian grew a little longer, and her eyebrows and eyes looked more beautiful than when she was a child.Although he still looks thin, but fortunately, from his bare arm, it can be seen that this thinness is not the kind of malnourished thinness.

Reminiscing about the vicious fight I watched before, Qiao Zhibai, who was still a passer-by before, knew that the person in black was his own child, and his heart suddenly felt as if he had been soaked in a sauerkraut jar. .

Looking at the grown-up Zhengtai face, Qiao Zhibai calmed down, slightly curved the corners of his lips, and then lightly placed a kiss on his forehead, sighing in a low voice, "All these years, Xiaoxiu, you have worked so hard. is you."

Ling Zixiu was slightly taken aback.The eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the obscure emotions in those eyes.

seven years.Seven years.He waited for this sentence for seven full years before finally waiting again.

But why, you have to appear again when I have begun to despair and no longer look forward to your arrival?

Why do you have to reunite with me when I have become a person who doesn't even know me, and can no longer be the innocent and lovely Xiaoxiu in your mind?

Why did you have to tell me with a smile that my eyes are still so beautiful when I no longer trust others and the blood in my body starts to turn cold?

Qiao Zhibai, why do you have to come down again like a god when I feel that I don't need you anymore, and then stand aside, looking at me in a state of embarrassment time and time again with nobility and pity?

Ha, hahahaha, hard work, no, how can it be hard work?This is the life I should adapt to, and it is the most suitable path for me, so how can I feel hard?

Don't look at me like that.Don't look at me like that!I don't need your pity, I don't!

Brother, didn't you say, you like mine?In this case, then stay with me, stay with me all the time.

This time, don't think about leaving me behind and go back to your Nine Heavens in style.This time, I will never allow it.no way!

"Brother," Ling Zixiu stretched out his arms to hug Qiao Zhibai's neck, trying to suppress the overly frenzied heartbeat in his chest. Where Qiao Zhibai couldn't see, Ling Zixiu's right eye completely turned a strange blood red for an instant. "I miss you so much."

This time, you have to stay with me.

Even in hell, you have to stay with me.

"It's been seven years, brother, Xiaoxiu has been waiting for my brother to pick Xiaoxiu home." Ling Zixiu lowered his eyelashes, and a sweet and innocent smile curved his thin lips, "My brother didn't break his promise, Xiaoxiu is so happy."

This is Xiaoxiu, his Xiaoxiu, this is his precious little Xiu, who he wholeheartedly hopes can make him safe and happy for the rest of his life.

"Brother is also... very happy." Qiao Zhibai sighed softly.For him, it was just a short month, but for Ling Zixiu, it was seven years.And... Qiao Zhibai carefully avoided Ling Zixiu's wound, and gently hugged him up, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, he spoke in a low voice, "Xiaoxiu, brother will take you to the doctor. "

"Promise brother, don't get hurt again, I will also be sad to see you hurt. Do you know Xiaoxiu?"

Ling Zixiu stretched out his hand to grab Qiao Zhibai's skirt, and the unstoppable blood stained Qiao Zhibai's light white shirt from his body. Ling Zixiu looked at the blood stains, as if he had pulled down the high god The same as the altar.

With a secret pleasure, Ling Zixiu spoke slowly, slowly: "I'm stupid. Brother, I'm really stupid. When I'm alone, I always hurt myself. If my brother doesn't want to see When I get hurt, then, stay by my side. Brother, let's be together forever, I don't want to leave you again. Brother will always be with me, okay?"

Qiao Zhibai looked at Ling Zixiu, Ling Zixiu's face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.Frowning slightly, he moved out a hand to help him put on the mask, and then lightly reprimanded: "Now you still have time to think about these things! My little ancestor, wait for you to go to the doctor to stop the bleeding first." Hold on, let's talk about this again, shall we?"

Ling Zixiu didn't speak, but just looked at Qiao Zhibai stubbornly. Compared with his childhood, there was something more in that black eye, which actually made Qiao Zhibai feel a little guilty.

Resisting the urge to turn his head away from Ling Zixiu's gaze, Qiao Zhibai bent his lips at Ling Zixiu helplessly, and comforted him, "Okay, okay, can I promise Xiaoxiu? We'll be together forever, right?"

"Really?" The dizziness caused by blood loss hit him in waves. Ling Zixiu couldn't hold it in for a long time, but he still held his breath. He refused to pass out calmly, but wanted to ask a result aggressively. , "Brother really didn't lie to me?"

"I won't lie to you, I won't lie to you!" Qiao Zhibai looked into the distance and was able to see the gate of the city. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and while speeding up, he said perfunctorily, "I like you, but you don't I don't know, as long as you don't bother me to prevent you from marrying a wife, you can live with me as long as you like!"

Ling Zixiu got the promise, smiled slightly satisfied and sweet, and then passed out as if he couldn't bear it at last.Qiao Zhibai looked down at this little ancestor and finally stopped tormenting, shook his head and sighed funnyly, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, he still has a childish temper! !

However, at this time, Qiao Zhibai didn't know that this sentence, which he thought was only used to perfuse Ling Zixiu, would actually become a reality in the future.

In Qiao Zhibai's eyes, this sentence was just perfunctory, but in Ling Zixiu's heart, it was an unforgettable promise that he would remember forever.

26 healing

Qiao Zhibai carried Ling Zixiu into the city, and after many inquiries, he finally found a medical center with a high reputation.

Although Qiao Zhibai was penniless, fortunately Ling Zixiu still had a purse with him.Qiao Zhibai opened the money bag and took a look, until he found that there were not only some pieces of silver in the money bag, but also a few small pieces of gold leaves mixed in it, and he couldn't help feeling sincerely: I didn't expect that it would only take seven years. My own child actually stepped into the ranks of the rich.

Then, comparing the current situation of being poor and white, I have to feel a sense of sadness of "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi".If the current situation continues to develop, it is estimated that if there are no accidents in the days to come, he will still have to hug Xiaoxiu's thigh tightly and rely on Xiaoxiu to support him.Qiao Zhibai put away Ling Zixiu's purse carefully, and then teased himself with joy.

But with money, the remaining things will be much easier to handle.In a hurry, he went to the front hall to pay the consultation fee, then carried Ling Zixiu in his arms, followed the apprentices from the medicine shop, and went directly to the inner hall.

Carefully put Ling Zixiu, who was still unconscious, on the bed. Seeing that the doctor hadn't come yet, Qiao Zhibai began to circle around the room anxiously.Seeing Qiao Zhibai's appearance, the little apprentice waiting at the side also understood what Qiao Zhibai was thinking. He handed him a cup of tea cleverly, and said in relief, "Young master, don't worry, someone has already gone to the front to invite the master. After all, this is exactly When you are busy, please be patient. Why don't you drink some tea to moisten your throat first?"

Although I know that there is such a reason, there is a first-come-first-served basis for everything, but after all, Ling Zixiu's current appearance is indeed very bad, even if Qiao Zhibai wants to comfort himself not to be too anxious, it will not be of any use.He waved his hand at the little apprentice, and just said: "The doctor always doesn't come, why am I still in the mood to drink tea here? How about...how about I go to the front to urge you?"

The little apprentice opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that this was against the rules, but before he could say anything, a boy who looked very simple and honest suddenly rushed in from the door, and said to Qiao Zhibai: "Young master, young master! , the master is here!"

Qiao Zhibai's eyes lit up slightly when he heard the words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried forward a few steps, ready to meet the doctor quickly.Sure enough, not long after the little boy finished speaking, a doctor who looked about 50 to [-] years old came in from the door with a medicine box.

The old doctor entered the door without saying any nonsense, just put down the medicine box, nodded to Qiao Zhibai reassuringly, and then hurriedly walked towards Ling Zixiu.

Because of the need to deal with the wound, the clothes on the body are cumbersome.The old doctor first picked up the scissors and cut off the clothes on the injured part of his body for later work.However, because the wounds have been present for too long, some fabrics have completely adhered to the clothes.

But maybe because this kind of wound treatment has gone through too much, the old doctor looked at those hideous wounds without blinking his eyes, and cut the clothes into several pieces with nimble fingers, and then gradually pulled the clothes, With a "swipe", the clothes glued to the wound were torn off.

Then, the scabbed wound naturally burst open again, and the bright red blood slid down the wound little by little, soaking the white sheet in a short while.

Qiao Zhibai watched as Ling Zixiu, who was falling into a coma, suddenly twitched violently because of the sudden pain, and felt as if he had been pricked by a needle in his heart, feeling extremely uncomfortable.Just watching from the sidelines like this, I was so distressed that I couldn't speak.

"Doctor, doctor, be gentle, my brother is afraid of pain." Seeing the old doctor's skilled but rough movements, Qiao Zhibai finally couldn't bear it, frowned and said, "When you tear these clothes, Can you moisten it with water first?"

The old doctor didn't look at Qiao Zhibai, but the movements of his hands still didn't slow down.After a long time, Qiao Zhibai heard the old doctor say slowly: "In my opinion, this brother of yours is not an ordinary delicate person. He must be able to bear such a little pain." After a pause, it didn't matter. He added slowly, "Furthermore, he is unconscious now, and his perception of pain is much slower, so you really don't have to worry too much."

As he said that, he peeled off the last bit of clothing from the wound, and the old doctor took the sterilized dagger from the little boy beside him, squinted at Qiao Zhibai, and said, "Your brother's injury is also serious. Oh my god, but I haven’t dealt with it carefully these days, some wounds are suppurating, and the carrion must be dug out, otherwise there will be endless troubles.” After thinking about it, he suggested, “This scene is probably a terrible situation for relatives. It's a bit hard to bear. Why don't you go outside and rest for a while, and wait for the old man to heal your younger brother's wounds, how about you come in again?"

Hearing the old doctor's proposal to let him go out, Qiao Zhibai subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he caught sight of Ling Zixiu's bloody body from the corner of his eyes, he paused again, and after a while, he gritted his teeth He said to the old doctor, "Then my brother will trouble you."

The old doctor nodded, and then winked at the little apprentice beside him. The little apprentice hurriedly walked forward, said to Qiao Zhibai crisply, "Young master, come with me", and led Qiao Zhibai. White out of the inner room.

The old doctor put the knife in his hand on the fire again and roasted it. He turned around and was about to help Ling Zixiu who was lying on the bed dig out the carrion. When he looked up, he was surprised to find that the boy who should have fallen into a deep coma was sitting on the bed. and looked at him coldly.When that black eye looked at him, it would unconsciously reveal a cold and hostile light.

The old doctor is not someone who has seen the world, and he has treated many martial arts people, so seeing Ling Zixiu like this, he was just stunned for a while, and soon returned to normal: "It seems that your willpower is stronger than yours. My brother is much stronger than I imagined." The old doctor said lightly, and then approached Ling Zixiu with a dagger, "But now, as a patient of the old man, I think you'd better not delay my treatment for you."

Ling Zixiu looked coldly at the dagger in the old doctor's hand, and after a while, lowered his eyes, and uttered a sentence coldly: "Put down the dagger, you step back."

"What?" The old doctor looked at Ling Zixiu in surprise.He knew that people in Jianghu were very vigilant, and they generally didn't like others to use knives on them.That makes them feel like they're being held back and handed over to me.For some Jianghu people who lick blood on the tip of a knife, it is very taboo to easily hand over their lives to others.

But he is his doctor!

The current situation does not allow this kid to be so reckless.The old doctor's face darkened slightly, and he asked with some displeasure: "Are you still planning to do it yourself? After taking Mafeisan, you can't move your whole body, how can you do it yourself?"

Ling Zixiu held the corners of his lips without emotion, taking advantage of the other party not paying attention, he leaned forward a little, and didn't care that the wound on his body would burst again if he moved too much. Then he casually put it in his hand and played with it for a while.

His black eye was reflected on the cold dagger, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the cold light came from the dagger or from himself.

"I don't need that kind of thing." Ling Zixiu said lightly, then he casually broke off a small piece of wood on the bed below him, put it between his teeth and clenched it tightly, then held the dagger in his right hand, and moved towards it without hesitation. Dig where there is carrion on the body.

Qiao Zhibai stayed outside, and because he couldn't see what was going on inside, he became even more anxious.

The little apprentice on the side had seen too many family members of patients who cared so much, and had already practiced their eloquence to deal with it. They glanced at Qiao Zhibai, and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, our master's medical skills are not far away. The inside is well-known. I don’t know how many times the master has treated the injury similar to your brother’s over the years, and this time there must be no problem.”

"That's what I said, but..." Qiao Zhibai took a sip of tea, his brows still furrowed, "Why haven't they finished it after so long?" He walked around restlessly in the same place for a few more steps, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore, "I'd better go in and have a look, I really can't bear to be in a hurry here!"

"Hey? Young master!" The little apprentice saw Qiao Zhibai stepping up and was about to go over. He yelled and found that he couldn't stop him, so he hurriedly followed behind him.

But before Qiao Zhibai walked into the inner room, he suddenly saw the old doctor come out with a serious expression, carrying a medicine box.Qiao Zhibai felt a "thump" in his heart, and quickly walked up to him and asked, "Doctor, how is my brother?"

The old doctor raised his head, took a deep look at Qiao Zhibai, and after a while, said meaningfully: "One thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. But no matter what, I'm afraid you are a ruthless character with great fortune."

Qiao Zhibai frowned, he didn't quite understand what the old doctor said, but he subconsciously felt that this was not simply a compliment to Ling Zixiu.

Qiao Zhibai seemed to have grasped something, but he didn't seem to have fully grasped it. His mind was confused for a moment, unable to take care of both, so he could only grasp the most important thing at the moment: "Then Xiaoxiu, is he all right?"

The old doctor nodded: "Although those injuries look scary, they are just superficial injuries, not real injuries. As long as you take the medicine on time and rest for a while, there will be no serious problems. .”

Qiao Zhibai understood what he said, knowing that Xiaoxiu was fine, he let go of most of the big stone in his heart, thanked the doctor quickly, walked around him, and hurried into the inner room.

Outside the house, the old doctor was carrying his medicine box on his back, half-closed his eyes and looked inward at the half-open door. After a long time, he sighed and brought his little boy to the front hall again. The patient who saw the doctor went to auscultation.

That's all, it's a blessing or a curse, everything is fate, he is a doctor, why do he care so much!

27 A Belated Word

Qiao Zhibai walked into the inner room with strides, looked up, and saw Ling Zixiu on the other side, already sober, half-sitting on the bed with a pale face, with a disturbing sharpness in his sight, pointing straight at He looked at Qiao Zhibai outside the door.

It's just that the too sharp gaze was only fleeting, and when Qiao Zhibai blinked, the feeling quickly faded away.It was so fast that it almost made Qiao Zhibai, because what happened just now might be his own illusion.

Biological instinct made Qiao Zhibai subconsciously feel a subtle sense of rejection towards Ling Zixiu just now, but Qiao Zhibai didn't pay attention to that slight sense of rejection. He was suppressed by Qiao Zhibai again.

Qiao Zhibai's gaze followed Ling Zixiu's face down, and landed on his upper body which was originally covered with scars.The wound on his body had already been covered with medicine and was properly bandaged by the doctor.Although there were not too many wounds, the area of ​​the wound was huge, which directly caused Ling Zixiu's entire upper body to be tightly wrapped in gauze. Looking at it this way, it looks like a mummy.

Seeing Qiao Zhibai coming in, Ling Zixiu moved his body, wanting to sit up again, but this movement was a little too big, which happened to involve the wound on his body, Ling Zixiu frowned in pain instantly .

Although Ling Zixiu didn't cry out in pain, or even groan, Qiao Zhibai's heart ached when he saw such a broken tooth and swallowed blood.

"Sit right there for me, don't move around!" Qiao Zhibai hurriedly stopped him, "Do you still think your injury is not serious enough?"

As soon as Qiao Zhibai's words came out, Ling Zixiu immediately stopped moving, but relaxed his body a little, following Qiao Zhibai's words, chose a relatively comfortable posture, and gently leaned against the wall behind him.

Frowning and walking over, Qiao Zhibai hesitated for a while, but he still didn't dare to sit on the bed, because he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would bump into Ling Zixiu, who was already a disabled person.So he looked around, dragged a stool from the other end, put it near the head of Ling Zixiu's bed, and then sat on it.

Although the doctor had said that there was nothing serious, until now, when Qiao Zhibai really saw Ling Zixiu wake up, the big stone in his heart was completely let go.

Stretching out his hand towards Ling Zixiu, Qiao Zhibai wanted to touch the horrific wounds he saw just now through the gauze, but he hung his hand over the gauze for a long time, and finally he didn't put it down, but turned upwards , stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair on the side of his face, then gently rubbed Ling Zixiu's head, as if he was still that well-behaved and sensible child who made people feel distressed: "Does it hurt?"

Ling Zixiu looked at Qiao Zhibai, then smiled slightly, shook his head, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt."

Qiao Zhibai looked at Ling Zixiu who seemed to have grown up overnight, and for a moment, he held the corner of his mouth helplessly: "You haven't changed at all for so many years. How many...cough, I saw you for the first time a few years ago I remember that you were also injured all over by those people, and I asked you if it hurt, but you never said it hurt back then."

Ling Zixiu's eyes flickered. Hearing Qiao Zhibai's words, he seemed to recall something, but he didn't answer the words, and only lowered his eyelashes slightly.

"Why did you grow up so big in a blink of an eye?" Qiao Zhibai looked at Ling Zixiu's face that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved for a moment.This unequal time difference was too cruel for Ling Zixiu after all.

"But although I have grown up, my brother is still the same as seven years ago, and he hasn't aged at all." Ling Zixiu was silent for a long time before opening his mouth softly. The voice was soft and relaxed, like a simple sentence. Ordinary chatting and complaining, with the unique vigor and mischievousness of young people.However, the black eyes that were half hanging down did not look at Qiao Zhibai, but their expression was deep and serious, and there was no trace of teasing or joking.

Talking about the topic of age, he obviously didn't do anything, but Qiao Zhibai felt a little guilty for no reason.How should he proceed with this topic?Could it be that it's not that he hasn't aged, it's just that he's only been away for a month because of factors from the Planning and Wearing Committee?

If you say that, Xiaoxiu will treat you as crazy, right?Qiao Zhibai looked away slightly, secretly complaining in his heart, and finally tasted what it means to be "unspeakable".

When I first met Ling Zixiu, Ling Zixiu was young.Although he is seven years old, due to Qiao Zhibai's preconceived ideas, he thinks that a child of this size can't remember things very well. In addition, he thinks that he is a time traveler who only came here for a month. He will not come here again, so Qiao Zhibai has never been on guard against Ling Zixiu from the beginning to the end.As a result, he unreservedly shared with Ling Zixiu many things that seemed too advanced and unscientific in this era.

However, now comes the problem.

Not only did he return to this superficial era in a very cheating manner after only one month, but he also found that Xiaoxiu, who had grown up in his family, didn't seem to have forgotten some things that shouldn't be remembered.

Qiao Zhibai counted those colored contact lenses in his mind, mobile phones, wound medicines that are so effective, and that kitty gentleman who pretends that everything will not be filled, and then silently After lighting a candle for himself in his heart, he smiled and said to Ling Zixiu: "Oh, that's probably because the place where I stay has good feng shui, and it's so nourishing." After thinking about it, he added calmly, " Or can it be said that I am better at taking care of myself?"

Ling Zixiu raised his eyes, looked Qiao Zhibai up and down, until Qiao Zhibai felt a little scared, then lowered his eyelashes again, instead of holding on to Qiao Zhibai's flawed words, he was considerate And docilely followed Qiao Zhibai's intentions, and changed the topic quickly: "Well, I think it's probably the same. My brother is so good at keeping his face, if those dignitaries in the imperial capital spend a lot of money to maintain their own When the woman saw it, she was afraid that it would make people hate her to the bone."
