Chunfengcuo

Under the setting sun and the faint twilight, Linghua Town, as in the past, ushered in another peaceful evening, but this tranquility was soon shattered by the sound of horseshoes approaching.

The two riders snorted and showed exhaustion, and stopped in front of the largest inn in the town.

"Three guest officers, stay at the hotel!"

The young man who greeted the guests enthusiastically stepped forward, and saw an ugly and thin girl riding alone, while the other horse was crowded with two big men, and they were competing with each other, especially the man holding the reins. , surprisingly beautiful, but the clothes on the three of them were dirty and torn, as if they had escaped.He opened his mouth wide and forgot to speak, and when the man gave him a cold look, he shuddered Lingling. He didn't dare to stop him, and stammered apologetically, "You two, this girl, please come inside!"

Shen Wumeng got off the horse, threw the reins to the guy, carefully helped Su Weiming get off the saddle, and helped him walk slowly.

The drug they were under had been completely undone a few days ago, but the wound on Su Weiming's foot was more serious, and the entire right leg began to become numb and unconscious.Shen Wumeng was anxious and rushed day and night, and finally arrived at the crowded place today.Although all the silver on his body was left behind in Baiquan Temple, he couldn't care less and went straight to the inn.

The three of them had just entered the inn, and the shopkeeper had already frowned, and was just about to speak to chase away people, when Su Weiming placed a shiny emerald jade unicorn on the counter.

"Is this piece of jade enough for us to stay with you for a few days?"

The shopkeeper is also used to seeing the world and knowing the goods. He picked up the jade unicorn and looked at it for a while, and he knew that it was a rare treasure, so he immediately bent down with joy. "Enough, enough! The three of you can stay for a year or so if you want."

Su Weiming smiled and said: "That's not necessary, but the shopkeeper Lao will buy some replacement clothes for us."

"Definitely." The shopkeeper hurriedly asked a clever young man to run errands, and then led the way graciously, and led the three of them into the largest clean courtyard in the inn.

Shen Wumeng originally made up his mind to live in the Bawang store, and after the shopkeeper left, he asked Su Weiming in a low voice: "Isn't the jade unicorn a pair with Mu Zhe? Why did you give it to the shopkeeper? I have no money, and I have a way to live."

Of course, Su Weiming knew what Shen Wumeng's so-called method was. In the past, he would not be willing to give away the jade unicorn to others. He lowered his status and went to be more serious with the people in the market. He smiled and shook his head and said: "Those are just belongings outside the body. Give it to you. There is no pity. It is better than you causing trouble with the store."

He had no intention of speaking, and he didn't realize the caring meaning in his words, but Shen Wumeng could hear it, stared at Su Weiming, finally smiled slightly, and said no more.

The little guy quickly brought some brand new clothes to the three of them.After Shen Wumeng cleaned up, before he had time to eat, he went to the shopkeeper and asked him to quickly find the best doctor in the town.

The shopkeeper fully agreed, and not long after, he personally led an old man with white beard and eyebrows to Shen and Su's room.

The old man rolled Gao Su Weiming's right leg trousers, saw the five small black bleeding holes on his right ankle, and repeatedly expressed his amazement. "What kind of poisonous beast bit or scratched this? I, old man Zeng, have never seen such a strange wound."

Shen Wumeng didn't expect the doctor in this small town to see any tricks, and only asked the old man if he had any good medicine to detoxify.

The old man shook his head like a rattle, "Look at this young man's legs and feet are swollen like wax gourds. The blackness is almost up to his knees. How can he save it? If he amputates his right leg quickly, maybe he can get it back." One life. Otherwise, in a few days, the poisonous gas will reach the atrium, and the gods will not be able to save it.”

Bai Yan was concerned about Su Weiming's injury, and was also waiting in the room. She grew up with Bai Wuchang. Although she had never studied medicine seriously, she was also proficient in medical theory. She knew that what Dr. Zeng said was right. red.

When Shen Wumeng heard that it was such a bad idea, his face darkened.

Su Weiming was afraid that he would anger the old man, so he hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to take Dr. Zeng out.Seeing that the person walked away, he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "The one just now is probably a quack doctor. I'll see another doctor tomorrow. Oh, let's not talk about this, I'm hungry."

"Master Su, I'll go get some food right now." Bai Yan quietly wiped away her tears, and walked out of the small courtyard with sobs suppressed.

Shen Wumeng was not in the mood to eat at all, and sighed: "I'll go to the town to find out if there are any good doctors."

"Shen..." Su Weiming wanted to tell the man not to waste his energy, but Shen Wumeng stepped out of the room with light steps.Through the wide open door, he stared blankly at Shen Wumeng's slender back fading away, feeling at a loss.

"...Young Master Su?..."

Bai Yan's hesitant call came from beside his ear, and Su Weiming finally came to his senses, seeing that Bai Yan had already held up the lamp and candle, and several delicate dishes were placed on the table.

The bright moon rises quietly outside the door, spreading a thin layer of silver light like frost and snow on the bluestone slab, clean and quiet.

He was stunned for a while, then turned his head and smiled at Bai Yan: "I want to drink."

Bai Yan had been staring at him bewilderedly, and nodded with tears in his eyes, "I'll get it for Mr. Su."

Linghua Town is not big, Shen Wumeng asked passers-by where several doctors lived, and went to find them one by one.

The few doctors heard that Dr. Zeng had seen the patient before, and they were helpless, they all shook their heads, unwilling to go back to the inn with Shen Wumeng. "Doctor Zeng's medical skills are well-known in this town. Since the old man said that he can't be cured, and others can't help him, you should hire another expert."

Shen Wumeng walked in a circle, bumping into walls everywhere, and became more and more angry, but he knew that what those people said was the truth, so he couldn't get angry.Seeing that it was getting late, he had no choice but to return to the inn sadly.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he unexpectedly saw Su Weiming sitting at the round bluestone table in the courtyard, pouring himself a drink.

The pulse of Tianxin and moon is like water, brushing on Su Weiming's hair and clothes, like a soft and light halo of white marble, which makes the person in the halo more beautiful and elegant.When the night wind blows, Su Weiming's hair and clothes flutter along with it, leaving the world with a fairy-like demeanor.

He suddenly had the illusion that Su Weiming would disappear into the halo of the moon in the next moment, he felt palpitations, and couldn't help but take two steps.

Su Weiming also saw him, raised his glass and invited with a smile: "I'm back, let's come over for a drink together."

Shen Wumeng approached slowly, seeing that Su Weiming was still holding a pair of bowls and chopsticks, his heart felt inexplicably hot, he sat down and whispered: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Otherwise, who else is there?" Su Weiming was already drunk, holding a jug with a smile and pouring wine for Shen Wumeng.Seeing Shen Wumeng's lips move, he preemptively said: "Do you want to say that my foot is injured again, so I can't drink? Heh, I don't care so much if I'm drunk today."

Without waiting for the man to frown and say something, he raised his own glass and drank it down, then called Shen Wumeng and said, "Hurry up, or the food will be cold."

Faced with Su Weiming's rare intimacy and closeness, Shen Wumeng was completely powerless to resist, so he and Su Weiming had a drink against the moon.

After drinking for three rounds, Su Weiming was even more drunk and sleepy, his handsome face was flushed, he rested his chin with one hand, tilted his head to look at Shen Wumeng, and suddenly laughed.

"What are you looking at?..." Shen Wumeng was a little embarrassed by his smile, but deep in his chest, it seemed that someone had taken the softest feather and flicked it back and forth—many years ago, the boy was just like today's Weiming Drunk, with wet lips and misty eyes, he couldn't take his eyes off no matter what...

In a daze, he heard Su Weiming murmuring a low laugh, and Fang Lie's smell of alcohol penetrated into his heart...

"I won't have any chance to see you again in the future, so let's take advantage of the present and take a good look at you."

Shen Wumeng's last sliver of rationality crumbled in Su Weiming's inexhaustible melancholy, unable to restrain his impulse any longer, he reached out to caress Su Weiming's face.

Without dodging, let alone getting angry, Su Weiming just stared at him, as if wanting to engrave his shadow into his pupils.

The young man in the Merlin once stared at him with beautiful eyes filled with water vapor... Shen Wumeng closed his eyes, leaned over, found the lips he had longed for, pecked lightly, and kissed deeply.

The long-lost breath, the scalding heat, has been burning into the bottom of his heart.Only I can understand how tormented I have to be to suppress the face of the person I love the most every day...

"...Mmm..." The whole body was surrounded by Shen Wumeng's body breath, Su Weiming grabbed the man's shoulders, panting with lingering lips and tongue.I want to refuse, but I don't want to give up.

The few dark red whip wounds exposed under the man's collar swayed in front of his eyes, forcing him to close his eyes sadly.

There are countless scars like this on Shen Wumeng's body.

He never thought that there would be someone in this world who would give up his life to protect him and be willing to suffer humiliation for him.At that moment, the heart that had been lonely and frustrated for many years had fallen hopelessly, but I was still unwilling to admit it.It was because he knew very well that it was not him at all that Shen Wumeng was obsessed with.However, even so, he is still greedy for the little tenderness given by the other party at this time, and he doesn't think about anything, letting himself be deeply addicted...

"...Mu Zhe...Mu Zhe..." Two murmurs close to his ears, very soft, but like two thunderbolts, woke Su Weiming up.

The blood all over his body cooled instantly, he was stunned for a moment, then pushed Shen Wumeng away and smiled wryly.God is really stingy, even this moment of gentle illusion is not willing to give him alms, eager to tear everything to pieces.

"I'm not Muzhe." He sighed, poured wine from the jug, and drank one cup after another.The wine enters the throat, bitter and spicy.

Shen Wumeng has also woken up from lust, secretly hating herself knowing that Weiming hates his touch, why can't control her inner delusion to kiss Weiming, and even shouted Muzhe's name in confusion.Obviously he knew very well that the person who was kissing was Weiming, but he thought of that charming moment in Merlin again.

Su Weiming drank non-stop, his brows were full of self-mockery and sorrow that had nowhere to hide.Seeing this, Shen Wumeng subconsciously stretched out her hand apologetically, wanting to touch Su Weiming's hair that was disheveled by the wind to comfort her.Su Weiming turned her head away, avoiding his hand.

The atrium throbbed like never before. Shen Wumeng stared at his missing hand, and was in a daze. Seeing Su Weiming holding the jug and standing up, dragging his right leg slowly towards the bedroom, he hurriedly put Su Weiming Pulled back to the table and sat down, said in a low voice: "Weiming, I was confused before, don't be angry."

Su Weiming tilted his head to look at the guilty look in the man's eyes, and couldn't help laughing.Shen Wumeng must be regretting his impulsiveness just now, and feels sorry for the curtain.

"Why should I be angry? Haha..." He drank the last sip of wine in the jug, pointed at his face and said with a smile: "If you want to be angry, you are also angry with my own face. Why does it look exactly like Mu Zhe? , otherwise, you won’t recognize the wrong person.”

He will not be deeply trapped in the tenderness woven by Shen Wumeng, knowing that there will be no results, but still willing to fall, unable to extricate himself...

He laughed, and the moonlight shone on the corners of his eyes, and some watery light flashed coldly.

Shen Wumeng desperately wanted to wipe away the tears from the corners of Su Weiming's eyes, but he was afraid that Su Weiming would be disgusted even more, so he had to hold back and didn't reach out, and said shyly, "You still hate me? I thought, you are no longer Don't hate me like you did before."

"Oh, did I say I hate you? Shen Wumeng, you just like to think you're smart, but in fact, you're a big fool! Haha..." That's why he couldn't tell the difference between him and his younger brother, so he made mistakes again and again.

The drunkenness broke out completely, Su Weiming shook his drunken and drowsy head, and tried to get up with his hands on the stone table, only to stand up, his legs and feet were weak, and he fell forward.Fortunately, Shen Wumeng was quick with his eyes and hands, and caught him in time.

Originally, he wanted to continue asking, but seeing that Su Weiming was already very drunk, Shen Wumeng could only sigh softly, and said softly, "Weiming, I will help you go back to your room to rest."

Su Weiming shook his head violently, "I, I can walk on my own, I don't need you to help me." He stretched out his hand to push Shen Wumeng away, but the next moment he was overwhelmed with alcohol and fell into the man's arms, murmuring indistinctly: "Don't, come near me again..."

Shen Wumeng just listened blankly to the man in his arms talking to himself softer and softer, until Su Weiming let out a slight snort, then he slowly sat back on the stone bench with his arms around him, and slowly stroked Su Weiming's blushing cheeks. handsome face.

The skin under the fingertips was warm and real, making his chest, which had been slightly sore and painful, suddenly full, as if he had found the long-lost thing in his heart.

The moon is like frost, and the summer insects in the corner are whispering softly, and the time flows inch by inch with the interlaced breathing of him and Su Weiming.The vague uneasiness and fear, like moss emerging from a dark corner, cast mottled shadows in his heart.

He shouldn't indulge himself and continue to get close to Su Weiming, really, he shouldn't.

Repeated hesitation and sympathy will only make myself and the Su family brothers fall into an even more embarrassing situation in the future.

It's time to let go... Besides, the person sleeping peacefully in his arms doesn't want to get close to him, does he?Why is he always unable to let go of Su Weiming?

"...Mmm..." Su Weiming subconsciously shrank his shoulders when the cold wind blew up, and moved a little closer to Shen Wumeng's chest, absorbing the man's body temperature.

Shen Wumeng embraced Su Weiming gently with both hands.After a while, after confirming that Su Weiming had fallen asleep safely, he finally raised his head and ordered softly, "Come out."

A slender shadow approached the bluestone table lightly, it was Bai Yan, and he held a thin blanket in his hand, and said timidly: "I see the wind is blowing, I'm afraid Mr. Su will be cold, so take a blanket for him."

"Give it to me." Shen Wumeng took the thin blanket from Bai Yan's hand and put it on for Su Weiming.Seeing that the moon has risen to the sky, he carried Su Weiming back to his room.

In order to take care of Su Weiming who is physically handicapped nearby, he deliberately chose this bedroom with two beds.After putting the person on the bed, while taking off Su Weiming's shoes, Bai Yan fetched a basin of hot water and walked in.

All the way from Baiquan Temple, she was the one who waited on Su Weiming to freshen up on the way.She put the tub beside the bed, and wanted to wash Su Weiming's feet as usual, but was stopped by Shen Wumeng.

"I'll help him wash it, it's none of your business here, get out."

"Ah?..." Bai Yan was stunned, not daring to brush against Shen Wumeng, so he went back to his room and went to bed.

Helping Su Weiming take off her shoes and socks, Shen Wumeng twisted a hot towel and put it on Su Weiming's swollen and blackened right leg.

There was warmth on his feet, Su Weiming unconsciously woke up, slowly opened his heavy eyelids, and saw that he had returned to the room, Shen Wumeng was rubbing his feet, his drunkenness disappeared immediately, struggling Sitting up, he said, "I don't need your help, I can do it myself."

Shen Wumeng sighed, and pressed Su Weiming's hand that was reaching out to snatch the handkerchief. "I just want to help you wash your feet, nothing else, you don't have to avoid me. Just let me take care of you for a few days."

The last sentence made Su Weiming's whole body stiff, and his expression completely darkened—yes, he is not going to live long, and even if he wants a man to take care of him for a few more days, he may not be able to do so.

He didn't refuse anymore, kept silent, and let Shen Wumeng wash his feet slowly.

Shen Wumeng wiped off the water drops on his feet, held Su Weiming's right foot for a while, and finally stared at Su Weiming's eyes, and said slowly: "If the poisonous wound on the foot really can't be cured, We had no choice but to do what Dr. Zeng said, amputating the right leg from the knee down."

At first, Su Weiming thought that he hadn't had enough alcohol, but he heard it wrong.It was only after seeing Shen Wumeng's serious expression that he realized that the man was not joking.He was in a daze, and just about to speak with a wry smile, Shen Wumeng preempted him and said with difficulty: "Weiming, I know you definitely don't like it, but it's better than dying from poison."

He looked at Su Weiming's increasingly bitter smile, and said seriously: "From now on, I will take care of you for the rest of my life."

lifetime? ... Su Weiming remained silent for a long time, seeing Shen Wumeng sitting on the edge of the bed still hugging his feet, staring at him intently, still waiting for his answer, he said leisurely: "What about Muzhe? Are you willing to let him go?" ?”

Shen Wumeng expected that Su Weiming would ask such a question, shook his head and said, "Musha and I will take care of you together..."

"Heh!" Su Weiming laughed abruptly, the corners of his lips sneered lightly.

Shen Wumeng closed her mouth, suddenly a trace of panic hit her heart.Su Weiming's smile made him feel that the most ulterior secret in his heart had been discovered.

What he is reluctant to let go of is not just covering one person?

Can't remember when and when it started, the person in front of him has broken into his heart, bit by bit, eroding the place that originally belonged to the curtain, slowly engraving his own shadow on his heart.

Confused, hesitant, I also tried to pretend to be indifferent, deliberately alienated, trying to cut off the delusions that shouldn't be there, but instead I got stuck step by step, unable to extricate myself.

Can't let go of the veil, it's the lovesickness button that has been attached to his heart for many years, but he is even more reluctant to let Weiming leave him.He spurned his own indecision, but selfishly did not want to lose anyone.

"Wei Ming..." He carefully considered his words, and there was a rare tremor in his voice. "You hate me touching you, I understand. I really just want to take care of you under the cover, and I will never come to you again. You just let me make it up──"

"Shen Wumeng!"

An inexplicable resentment rushed straight into Su Weiming's chest.He knows Shen Wumeng's affection for Mu Zhe better than anyone else, does it need Shen Wumeng to remind him again and again?However, upon seeing Shen Wumeng's astonished gaze, Su Weiming's heart softened involuntarily. In the end, he just smiled and took his right foot out of Shen Wumeng's hand with great effort, placed it on the soft mattress, and sighed comfortably. Take a breath.

"You rushed all the way to Baiquanguan to save me, you don't owe me anything anymore, and I don't need you to make it up again. Besides, I don't want to have to hop and walk on one leg for the rest of my life, and be judged as a joke by others Hehe, besides, even if I amputate my right foot, it may not be able to stop the poisonous blood from spreading, maybe it will still be a dead end? Then I will lose a leg, and I won’t be able to snatch others on the way to reincarnation, wouldn’t it be even more unlucky?”

"Wei Ming, you..."

Shen Wumeng still wanted to persuade, but Su Weiming turned sideways, turned his back to him, and yawned lazily, telling Shen Wumeng clearly that he didn't want to continue this topic.

There was a faint sound of shifting in the distance, and Shen Wumeng's mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't feel sleepy.

Hearing that Su Weiming fell into a deep sleep shortly after, he extinguished the candle with a snap of his fingers, walked quietly to the courtyard, and picked up his unfinished glass of wine on the bluestone table.Thinking of Su Weiming's smiling face when he greeted him to drink with him before, he couldn't help feeling sad and full of melancholy.

The morning light dyed the slow-moving clouds in the sky red, and cast the dawn on the green screen window.

Bai Yan stood behind Su Weiming, brushing his hair, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Young Master Su, did you and Master Shen... have a problem last night?"

"Um?"

"When I came, I saw Master Shen sitting alone at the stone table in a daze. There was dew on his clothes. It looked like he had been sitting for a long time!" She called Shen Wumeng at that time, but the man seemed to be wandering overseas. , ignored her at all, and never even glanced at her.

Su Weiming said oh, no wonder he woke up early in the morning and found that the bedding on the other bed was neat, and it didn't look like someone had slept on it.It turned out that Shen Wumeng sat alone in the courtyard until dawn.He smiled lightly: "Master Shen has such a strange temper! He likes to be alone. Don't think about it, I just have a normal friendship with him, what can be awkward?"

Bai Yan shook his head, combed the black hair in his hand and sighed softly: "Mr. Su, I told you that I would not laugh at you. Do you still want to hide it from me? I went to the yard to deliver you a blanket last night. You have already Drunk, sleeping in the arms of Master Shen. The way Master Shen looks at you, anyone who sees him will know how much he likes you."

"That's just because I look like the person he really loves." Su Weiming was still laughing.

Bai Yan was stunned, no matter how much she tried to deny it, she couldn't ignore the bitterness and self-deprecation behind Su Weiming's smile. In an instant, all the previous doubts were easily solved---why even she could see that Hierarch Shen treated Young Master Su? Deep affection, but Mr. Su is always unwilling to admit it?It turned out that Master Nashen just used Mr. Su as a stand-in.

She was stunned for a long time before regaining consciousness in her stiff hands, and continued to comb Su Weiming's hair and put in the green jade hairpin.Tears slid down her cheeks silently and fell on Su Weiming's shoulder drop by drop.

The wetness from the clothes made Su Weiming unable to remain indifferent, turned around and said in surprise, "Miss Bai, why are you crying?"

"Why?..." Bai Yan couldn't hold back her sadness any longer, she sat down on the ground, lay on Su Weiming's lap and sobbed, "Then why do you still want to take Qishang pills for him?" The person who loves him, is it worth it?

"Hush──" Su Weiming reminded her softly: "Don't mention this again, I don't want anyone to know about it except you and me."

Bai Yan remembered her promise that day, bit her lip, and swallowed back all the grievances for Su Weiming. Thinking of Su Weiming's tragic death from poison soon, her tears became more and more violent.

Su Weiming sighed helplessly, wiped the tears off Bai Yan's face with his sleeve, and softly persuaded her to get up.

The half-closed door was suddenly pushed open, and Shen Wumeng silently watched this scene. Before, he would definitely be burning with jealousy, but now he is surrounded by a deep sense of powerlessness.

No matter how hard he tried to make up for his past mistakes, nothing could be changed after all.Su Weiming was extremely gentle towards that ugly girl, but refused to give him even a chance to redeem her sins.

He waited for Bai Yan's sobs to subside before stepping into the room, and said to Su Weiming, "Clean up and get ready to go."

"Where are you going?"

"Worshiping God Peak."

Shen Wumeng also heard the white geese passing by at dawn, thinking of Bai Wuchang who had died suddenly, suddenly enlightened, and thought of the physician Yaoquan who was as famous as Bai Wuchang.He secretly scolded himself for caring about chaos, how could he forget about Yaoquan, a ready-made doctor.

"Master Yaoquan, the doctor under the seat of God, was originally enshrined by my Tianyi Sect. His medical skills are not inferior to Bai Wuchang. If I come forward, he dare not refuse to heal you. Your right foot will definitely be cured. By the way, it just happens Inquire about Mu Zhe's whereabouts. Let's go without delay."

Facing the determination on Shen Wumeng's face, Su Weiming and Bai Yan looked at each other, and both saw wry smiles in each other's eyes.Even if Yaoquan can heal his injured leg, it can't cure the poison of Qishang Pill.

Not wanting Shen Wumeng to be suspicious, Su Weiming forced himself to show a relaxed smile, nodded and said, "Okay."

After a while, the three of them had already consumed some porridge and left Linghua Town on horseback with a pack of dry food and a few ingots of silver from the shopkeeper.

The dust raised by the horse's hooves went straight up with the wind, and finally disappeared.In the sky ahead, large dark clouds gradually surged, a harbinger of heavy rain.
