Slave forever

The night is cold as water.

"Click-"

With a slight bang, the door of the room was opened.Yan Huaifeng walked in quietly, staring at Chu Yue who was still wrapped in the quilt and closed his eyes tightly.He reached out and picked up a strand of Chu Yue's hair, wrapping them around his fingertips.

The slightly itchy touch seemed to sweep over his heart, Yan Huaifeng stared at the person lying quietly on his back with dark eyes.He was always losing. When he was young, he lost his mother, and later, in a sense, he also lost his father.

He can't have friends, and even Liuying Xiaofan, who is called unique, finally finds that there is another person who can use it easily.Now, even this person, is he going to lose it?

Yan Huaifeng rarely sighs, compromise is not his style.

"A Yue, you still owe me an explanation." Yan Huaifeng traced Chu Yue's facial features with his fingertips, and was about to get up to leave, but suddenly stopped, "Huh?"The person on the bed didn't move at all, but Yan Huaifeng always felt that his lying posture seemed a little different from the daytime.

Could it be that Chu Yue has already woken up?He patted Chu Yue, but that person still didn't respond.The index finger probed his carotid artery, the pulse was still weak and sluggish.

Yan Huaifeng laughed at himself, "Is it so important that there is such a ridiculous idea?"

It wasn't until he heard the sound of the person closing the door and leaving that "Chu Yue" on the bed opened his eyes again, turned over and got out of bed, and stood by the open bed looking at the sky.

There was no cloud in the night, the sky was filled with bright stars, and the moon was at its fullest, hanging there like a silver plate.

He watched the night for a long time, until his neck was sore, he lowered his head and looked at his hands again. "I never knew the moon was so beautiful." He smiled, as if he was talking to himself, or to someone.

His fingers touched the window lattice inch by inch, and whispered a little doubtfully: "We must find him as soon as possible, and we must not let the people who are looking for the hairpin pavilion find out."

Su Zhen came out of the house with a plate of fruit and put it on the stone table.

Yan Huaifeng thanked you, and said sincerely: "Miss Su, I am not questioning your medical skills."

Su Zhen nodded, obviously not angry, she had already expected that Yan Huaifeng would come to her to ask if there were other doctors who could treat Chu Yue.

She had seen quite a few people seeking medical treatment, begging and refusing to leave after the doctor shook their heads. Although birth, old age, sickness and death were inevitable, no one could treat them calmly.

"Mr. Han—that's what Mei Er called you. I can see that you care about your friend. I'm sorry that my medical skills are poor and I can't do anything. But with all due respect, no matter which doctor I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”

Yan Huaifeng tapped the fruit plate, obviously thinking, "It may not be the disease of leaving the soul, Miss Su is just guessing at the moment."

Su Zhen was taken aback, nodded, and looked at the person in front of her, she probably wouldn't give up easily, she thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "More than a hundred miles away from Huzhou City, there are famous river flowers. The source of Tiaoxi, the moat in the city. Tiaoxi is shallow, but Liuhuahe is unfathomable. There is a plant with cicada’s wings at the bottom of the river, called Jinyi. If I can get it, I can try to make the soul-returning soup. Of course, Whether it is useful or not is another matter.”

"Golden clothes are very rare, they are translucent in the water, they look like pairs of cicada wings, and they feel silky to the touch."

A smile formed in Yan Huaifeng's eyes, he stood up and clasped his fists at Su Zhen, saying: "So, please ask Miss Su and Deputy Pavilion Master Xiao to take care of A Yue, and I will go for a walk."

Su Zhen also had no choice but to do it. The golden clothes and the soul-returning soup are all recorded in the wild history and village records, and no one has ever tried it.

What's more, the surface of the Liuhua River is calm, but the bottom of the water is very deep. It is said that it leads to the underworld, and no one knows whether the golden clothes exist or not.

"Mr. Han, think twice. That river is very dangerous. Besides, I saw that you frowned when you heard the water just now. Are you not familiar with water?"

Yan Huaifeng shook his head, "Miss Su, don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Su Zhen to persuade him any more.

Su Zhen sighed secretly, and didn't know whether the method he said was right or not.It's just that Yan Huaifeng is so determined, she has no room to comment.

With a long sigh, Su Zhen picked up a tangerine from the fruit plate and put it into his mouth, and went back to Tianlou to see Chu Yue who was still in a coma.

Xiao Chen was wringing out a towel to clean Chu Yue's face, it was not good for a girl like Su Zhen to do all these, so he had to do it all for him.

Seeing Xiao Chen doing these trivial things meticulously and patiently, Su Zhen pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Vice Pavilion Master, any girl who will marry you in the future will be blessed at first glance. Hey, but I heard that you like the Pavilion Master, is this real?"

Xiao Chen paused, took back the towel and threw it into the basin, "Don't follow that kid Lu Qianxun to make nonsense."

"Ah, Xiao Huahua, you're talking ill of me behind my back again. Really, you're just too dishonest. If you don't tell me how the pavilion master knows you like him, I'm just helping you out." Lu Qianxun His head poked out of the window, and the whole person hung upside down from the window, his face flushed red.

"In broad daylight, Xiaomanyao, are you going to be a thief?" Su Zhen threw a tangerine in the past, Lu Qianxun immediately opened his mouth to grab it, chewed hard and swallowed it hard, and then rolled over. , landed on the ground, and said vaguely: "Who is the little waist, hum."

After being fed a lot, Lu Qianxun didn't have the nerve to quarrel with Su Zhen loudly, so she leaned in front of Xiao Chen, watched Xiao Chen help Chu Yue tuck the quilt, and muttered: "Huahua, you look like empathy!" Don't fall in love, taking care of this kid is more meticulous than taking care of the pavilion master."

Xiao Chen poked Lu Qianxun's bulging cheek with another tangerine stuffed with his finger, "Don't talk nonsense, he is a patient."

Lu Qianxun rolled his eyes, lay on the ground and yelled, "Hua Hua Hua Hua Hua, I have a headache, come and take care of me!"

Xiao Chen glanced at him, and said loudly: "Come here, drag your road master back and throw him into the pool to cure his headache."

The guards covered their mouths with one hand to hold back their laughter, and carried Lu Qianxun with the other hand, and walked away humming.Lu Qianxun looked at Xiao Chen sadly, "You also said that you didn't fall in love with someone else, you were biased, hehe."

Xiao Chen raised his forehead, "Don't say it as if I betrayed you, even if I moved on, didn't I like the pavilion master before, that's what you said."

Lu Qianxun couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only hum and be carried away.

The treasure is gone, and the room is finally a little cleaner.Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief scented with orchids from his sleeve, and slowly wiped his hands clean.Nothing is more important than those hands to a concealed weapon wielder.

"Xiao Su, where is that person?"

Su Zhen was a little helpless, "He... probably went to Liuhua River."

The Liuhua River is not too close to Huzhou City, nor is it too far away. Yan Huaifeng is standing by the Liuhua River at this moment, looking at the rich blue color.

The water of the Liuhua River is like emeralds that have been accumulated for many years, so green that it turns black, which makes people feel like they are facing an abyss.

It's not that Yan Qinghe can't swim. There are many rivers in southern Yunnan, but he is actually quite good at swimming.However, for some reason, he always had an instinctive fear of water, although he concealed it well, he couldn't fool himself.

He doesn't know why he has a sense of fear of water. It seems to be an innate resistance. Seeing big rivers, deep water and deep pools always makes him think of death involuntarily, and there is a dull feeling deep in his chest. pain.

But Yan Huaifeng has never been able to find out the reason. He has never drowned before, so it is impossible for him to have such a deep fear of water.

Yan Huaifeng squatted down and put his fingers into the river. The expected icy cold did not appear. On the contrary, the water in Liuhua River was warm, slightly higher than normal temperature, as if there was a slow fire underneath. Heat without rushing.

The water doesn't smell like sulfur, so it's not like hot spring water.Yan Huaifeng thought of Su Zhen's words, there might be unknown risks underwater.

He looked at his fingers, which were half submerged in the water, also stained with a layer of emerald green color. The green color was really beautiful, but it was obviously warm water temperature, but he noticed that his fingers were trembling slightly.

Out of nowhere fear of the river.

For some reason, what Yan Huaifeng thought of at this moment was the appearance of Chu Yue saying to him with a determined face when he left after the first love under him, "Sleep in peace, young master, I will go to watch the night."

He lowered his head and unbuttoned his clothes, threw the cumbersome clothes on the shore, then took a deep breath, and jumped into the water. The crisp sound of the water alarmed the fish swimming in the distance, and they all dived to the bottom of the water.

As soon as he entered the water, his eyes became hazy. Not only did the water look dark blue, but even the resistance seemed to be greater than usual. Yan Huaifeng swam a few times, and after adapting to the surrounding environment, he began to sneak down slowly.

The further downstream, the higher the water temperature. Fortunately, there are still schools of fish swimming around, probably treating him as a huge fish, and some even swam over curiously to peck him twice, and then escaped far away.This shows that the water is at least not stagnant.

The bottom of the water was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. With a small night pearl in his mouth, Yan Huaifeng kept diving towards the deep water area.The longer time passed, the more frightened he became. The river didn't look that big, but it was so deep that he couldn't reach the bottom at all.

He has adjusted his breathing to the weakest, and the air in his lungs is still being consumed continuously.And the instinctive resistance to water in his heart was infinitely magnified in such a deep water, Yan Huaifeng almost felt that he was surrounded by a cage of warm water, isolated from the world.

There was only the sound of splashing water.

Just when he could hardly bear it, something silky and smooth slipped between his fingers. Under the dim light of the night pearl, he seemed to see countless pairs of cicada wings swaying with the ripples in the water.
