Peter's Enemy

Chapter 18

Zhongli Muchuan entered the inn with Fan Qing on his back, and he arranged Fan Qing to sit in front of a table with few people.

"Mu Chuan, you're back. The shopkeeper just came looking for you." Erpang was short and fat, and ran over to talk to Zhongli Mu Chuan, "The shopkeeper said that the shop doesn't keep idlers."

"Then I will guard the shop this afternoon. Let's change the time." Because there are not many customers in the shop, the two of them usually have Zhongli Muchuan in the morning and Er Fatty in the afternoon. idle.

"Alright, then you can rest first, and it will be your turn in the afternoon."

"Well. Thank you, Fat Brother."

Zhongli Muchuan sat down beside Fan Qing, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Fan Qing.Fan Qing caressed the warm teacup with both hands, "I see, your shopkeeper seems to have a bit of a temper."

"Our shopkeeper Lin," Zhongli Muchuan deliberately turned up his voice, "she has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, don't worry, a kind person like her will definitely take you in."

Shopkeeper Lin just happened to come over, "You don't have to tell me so loudly, anyway, I'll call you if he has any problems."

"Yes, shopkeeper Lin, I won't let him cause trouble for you."

Shopkeeper Lin went to the counter and buried himself in the accounts, muttering.

Only then did Fan Qing realize that shopkeeper Lin had heard his words just now, "I didn't know she was around, so she didn't cause you any trouble."

"It's okay, shopkeeper Lin is just unforgiving. When I came here, I hated me every day, and now I'm fine."

"Why do I feel that she still hates you now?"

"Here," Zhongli Muchuan was blocked by this sentence, "Anyway, you just don't take what she said too seriously."

"Ah."

"By the way, I have to guard the store in the afternoon, and I can't take care of you. Why don't you go back to the house to rest?"

"But it's boring being alone in the house."

"Then I'll take you to Uncle Wu's house, and I'll let Xiaoyue play with you."

A trace of vigilance arose in Fan Qing's heart, "Who is Xiaoyue?"

"Xiaoyue is Uncle Wu's daughter. She is not yet ten years old. She is very cute. You will definitely like staying with her."

"is it?"

"I'll take you there now. I'm sure I won't be able to go out after lunch. Then you can just eat at Uncle Wu's house. I'll pick you up at night."

"You must pick me up."

"Don't worry, I will definitely pick you up."

Uncle Wu's house is at the back of this street, just turn a corner in the fork road after walking a short distance.The yard of Uncle Wu's house is facing the river, and there are several chickens in the house.As soon as he entered the door of his house, Fan Qing heard a few cock crows.

"Brother Muchuan! You are here!"

It was a light voice, "Brother Mu Chuan? You are so kind." He thought of it.

"Xiaoyue, today, I let this elder brother play with you, can you take care of him for me? I will come to pick this elder brother back at night."

"Is this brother invisible?"

"Brother's eyes are a bit bad, so I have to ask the kindest Xiaoyue." Zhongli Muchuan patted Xiaoyue's head.

"But I still want brother Mu Chuan to play with me. How can this big brother fly a kite with me if he can't see?"

Zhongli Muchuan glanced at Fan Qing, seeing that his face was expressionless, he probably didn't take Xiaoyue's words to heart.He let go of Fan Qing's arm, squatted down and talked to Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue is the most obedient, isn't she? You take good care of this brother. Next time, brother Muchuan will bring him to fly a kite with you, okay?"

"Okay, you keep your word, Lagou."

"Okay, let's pull the hook, you have to take good care of this brother too."

"Ok!"

"By the way, isn't Uncle Wu at home?"

"Daddy is out fishing, we will have fish to eat in a while!"

"Okay, then I'll hand over this brother to you." Zhongli Muchuan said while helping Fan Qing into Uncle Wu's house.

"I know." Xiaoyue also supported Fan Qing, and she held Fan Qing's hand.

It was the first time for Fan Qing to be held by a child, and he felt very strange. Moreover, he seemed a little jealous of Xiaoyue, who was loved by Master Mu Chuan.But he also found it ridiculous that his eyes could not bear the sand.

Zhongli Muchuan helped him to sit down at the table, "You stay here well, I will pick you up at night."

"En." Fan Qing listened to Zhongli Muchuan's footsteps gradually fade away, held his breath and sat there obediently.

Xiaoyue stretched out her hand and dangled in front of Fan Qing, "Brother, why can't your eyes see?" She sat on the same stool with Fan Qing some distance away.

"It's just an old disease."

"Old disease? How old? Can't see at my age?"

Fan Qing didn't want her to continue asking, so he responded perfunctorily, "Yes."

But he didn't expect Xiaoyue's voice to drop, "Brother, you are so pitiful, when you are Xiaoyue's age, you can't see Daddy, you can't fly a kite, and you can't play with chickens. "

He hurriedly pretended to be casual and comforted, "It's nothing to me, I've been used to it for a long time. Besides, I can still hear it."

"That's right, big brother still has ears, come on, big brother, let's go play with the chick."

"Chicken?" Fan Qing was dragged away by Xiaoyue, not knowing where he was heading.

"Brother, be careful, there are steps here."

"Oh." Fan Qing went down the steps, as if following Xiaoyue to the yard.

"Big brother, squat down."

Fan Qing heard a group of chicks chirping, and then he squatted down as Xiaoyue said.

"Big brother, spread your palms."

Fan Qing obeyed obediently, stretched out one hand, and then felt something scratching in his palm, "You put the chicken on my hand, didn't you?" He stretched out the other hand to touch the softness of the chicken. hair.

"Well. There are several chicks in my house, which were hatched from the hen's eggs. Originally, Dad didn't let the hen hatch the eggs. I wanted the chicks to play with, so Dad didn't eat the eggs."

Fan Qing held the chick in both hands, and smiled slightly, "It should be cute."

"Well, the little yellow one is so cute!"

"Xiaoyue, is there a visitor?" A man's voice reached Fan Qing's ears.

"Daddy! You're back!" Xiaoyue ran to Uncle Wu to meet him, looking at the bucket of small fish in Wushu's hand, "Daddy, you caught so many fish today! One, two, three... "

"Stop counting, Xiaoyue, who is this?"

Still holding the chicken in his hand, Fan Qing stood up slowly, "Uncle Wu, I'm Ding Jinu. Master Mu Chuan was afraid that I would be bored, so he asked me to come and play with Xiaoyue."

"Well, brother Mu Chuan told me to take care of big brother and pick him up at night."

"Okay, okay, you guys play first, I'll cook, and I'll call you when the meal is done."

"Daddy, I want to watch you kill the fish!" Xiaoyue followed Uncle Wu and was about to run into the house. Uncle Wu noticed Fan Qing's eye disease, so he specially told Xiaoyue, "It's not too late to see you next time, take care of me today." Looking at Big Brother, do you still remember what Brother Mu Chuan told you?"

"Understood, Daddy, then call me if you have something to do." Xiaoyue left the room aggrieved and came to Fan Qing's side.

"Xiaoyue, actually, you don't need to accompany me. If you want to see the fish, you can go. Bring me a bench. I want to sit in the yard for a while. Come on, put the chicken back first."

"Okay." Xiaoyue put the chicken back, and brought out a bench from the back room.

"Big brother, sit here." Xiaoyue helped Fan Qing to sit down, and she sat beside her.

"You haven't left yet?"

"Well, I promised Brother Mu Chuan."

"You just listen to your elder brother Mu Chuan?"

"Well, brother Muchuan is fine. At that time I put the kite on the tree, but I couldn't get it off. I was so sad because I cried. Brother Muchuan helped me take it down. Brother Muchuan is amazing. It flew lightly. It flew up to the tree, and then took the kite down!"

"Well, your brother Mu Chuan is very good at flying."

"Then you will? Big brother."

Fan Qing smiled lightly, "I won't."

"That's why I say brother Mu Chuan is the best, and none of the other brothers in our town can fly."

"Xiaoyue, can you describe to me the scenery you see now? I want to know what is around me."

"You are sitting in the yard of my house now. On the right is my chicken coop, and on the left is me. In front is the wall of my house, and in front of it is a long long river. Dad usually fishes in that river. There is a big and thick tree beside the river, and I put the kite on that tree last time. There is an open space in front of the tree, where I usually fly the kite.”

Fan Qing laughed as he listened, he was very envious of Xiaoyue for having such an ordinary and beautiful life, "Then what do you do in addition to flying kites on weekdays?"

"Sometimes I go to the study to read books."

Fan Qing was startled when he thought of the study, "That study is still there!"

"Yes, I'm here. I can take my elder brother there when I have time."

"But, I can no longer read with these eyes." Fan Qing looked disappointed.

"It's okay, big brother," Xiaoyue held Fan Qing's hand, "I can read it to you later."

The cool wind in early spring blows through his hair. He hasn't read a book for a long time, and it's a great blessing in his life to be able to read a book leisurely here.He smiled and said to Xiaoyue, "Okay, Xiaoyue is really nice."

Xiaoyue giggled beside her, and the sound was as nice as when the bells were swinging.

"Xiaoyue, Mr. Ding, come over for dinner!" Uncle Wu spread the bowls and chopsticks in the room. "Xiaoyue, help big brother come here!"

"Understood. Brother, have you smelled the smell of fish? Daddy's fish is delicious." Xiaoyue helped Fan Qing across the threshold.

"Well, it is indeed very fragrant."

"There's nothing to entertain at home, Mr. Ding will just eat." Uncle Wu handed the bowls and chopsticks to Fan Qing.

"I'll just eat rice. Uncle Wu doesn't need to worry too much."

"Why, don't you have a few mouthfuls of fish?"

"Big Brother, the fish Daddy cooked is delicious, let's have a taste."

"No, no. I ate too much in the morning, and I just want some rice now."

"But the rice has no taste." Xiaoyue said from the side.

"It's okay, I like to eat white rice." Fan Qing picked up his rice bowl and started digging up the rice. The reason why he didn't eat fish was because he was afraid that he would be caught by the fishbone when he couldn't see it, and it would be annoying when the time came.However, if he eats with his master Mu Chuan, he will definitely ask his master Mu Chuan to feed him.

"Okay, then I won't force you, my lord. Xiaoyue, I have to go to Granny Wang's house to deliver the fish after dinner. You just stay at home and play with big brother obediently, do you understand?"

"Well! Xiaoyue will be obedient."

After eating, Xiaoyue and Fan Qing sat in the yard for a while, and then they felt really bored, so Xiaoyue took out the kite, and they went to the open space next to the house to fly the kite.

First, Xiaoyue was left happily alone, while Fan Qing stood aside and listened to her laughing as she ran.Fan Qing was not satisfied with standing aside, and suddenly wanted to fly a kite, "Xiaoyue, let me fly one too." He thought, a kite flying in the sky must be the most free appearance.

"Okay, big brother, hold this, I tell you to set the line and you can set the line." Xiaoyue led the kite over.

"it is good."

Fan Qing took the thing for flying the kite, and let it go according to Xiaoyue's instructions, and it could be retracted and released freely.At that moment, he seemed to feel that he had got rid of all the fetters of this physical body and became free.

"Big brother, you fly really well! Put the line again, put the line again! Put the line again! Big brother, the kite can be even higher!" Xiaoyue stood aside happily, staring at the kite that was flying higher and higher.

Fan Qing stepped back while letting out the line, backed to the side of the big tree, and backed to the river. Suddenly, one of his feet slipped, and his body fell back into the river, and the kite line in his hand fell to the ground. .

Xiaoyue heard a cry, and looking over, her eldest brother fell into the river.

"Big brother! Big brother!" Xiaoyue ran over in a hurry, she saw Fan Qing fluttering in the river and panicked, "What should I do!" Xiaoyue cried, "Big brother, I'll find someone to save you ! I'll go find brother Mu Chuan."

Xiaoyue ran to the inn as fast as she could while crying, "Brother Mu Chuan!"

Zhongli Muchuan heard Xiaoyue calling him, and went up to meet him, but saw Xiaoyue crying badly.

"Big brother fell into the river, right in front of that big tree..."

Zhongli Muchuan was startled and frightened, and ran out at the speed of an arrow before he finished listening.He ran to the river and stood by the big tree and shouted, "Qing'er!" The river was calm as if it had never swallowed a person's body, "Qing'er!" Zhongli Muchuan jumped into the river, "You thousand Don't die!" He murmured in his heart.

After exploring in the river for a while, I didn't see half a person except for various stones. I couldn't hold back under the water, so I showed my head.The river water slid down his hair, he didn't know whether it was tears or water, he just felt cold, piercingly cold.

"Qing'er!"

"Master Mu Chuan, I'm here!" The voice was weak, but he heard it, and the person he was looking for was leaning against the tree.

Zhongli Muchuan heaved a sigh of relief, but his tears really fell. He climbed onto the bank wetly, grabbed Fan Qing's shoulders with both hands, and pulled Fan Qing into his arms, "Great, great , you didn’t die. Qing’er, it’s great that you didn’t die.”

Fan Qing leaned against his wet chest and asked weakly, "Master Mu Chuan, do you remember me? I heard you calling my name."

Zhongli Muchuan was stunned for a moment when he said this, he seemed, as if he really owed him his memory, his eyelids were pulled down, looking very sad, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Qing'er, I don't remember anything .”

Fan Qing couldn't hold back and cried loudly, leaning against Zhongli Muchuan's arms as if he had lost everything, he just cried desperately.It turns out that the person in love forgets that it is so painful, so painful.The days they had spent together were now like a dream, a dream of only him.

The cold river water stirred slightly under the blowing of the wind.Zhongli Muchuan's hand lightly patted Fan Qing's heaving back, and water droplets fell from his wide sleeves.He didn't speak until Fan Qing stopped slightly, "Go back, you'll get sick if you fall into the water and blow the wind."

Fan Qing didn't answer, just sobbed.

Zhongli Muchuan pulled Fan Qing onto his back, and Fan Qing lay on his shoulder and sobbed uncontrollably.A pair of wet figures walked all the way and dripped water all the way, and the shadows under the slanting sun followed them closely.

Xiaoyue was running towards him, crying too much, she lowered her head and followed Zhongli Muchuan, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Zhongli Muchuan gave Xiaoyue a gentle smile on his pale face, "Big brother is fine, Xiaoyue, you don't have to blame yourself anymore, go home."

"But,"

"Xiaoyue is obedient, don't cry anymore, no one blames Xiaoyue. We are going back too, let's go home, if you are worried, come to the inn to find us tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xiaoyue cried and walked home.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the inn, shopkeeper Lin came out to greet him, "Go upstairs quickly, Er Fatty has just mixed the bath water, and a pot of ginger tea has been boiled and put it on the table in your room, go back and wash Take a bath and drink some ginger tea."

"Well, thank you Shopkeeper Lin."

"Thank you." Fan Qing followed weakly.

"You two are still telling me these things, go upstairs quickly, I will send Er Fatty to your room for dinner."

"Ah."

Zhongli Muchuan stepped on one step after another with Fan Qing on his back. At this moment, he felt in a trance that the time he was in was illusory, and it would be empty as soon as he stepped on it, because there was indeed something important missing in his memory.

Entering the room, a large bucket of bath water behind the screen was emitting hot white steam. Zhongli Muchuan carried Fan Qing to the side of the tub and gently put him down. He stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. Although it was a little hot, it was just right .

"Take off your clothes." Zhongli Muchuan reached out and took off Fan Qing's coats one by one.

Fan Qing stood there straight and waited for Zhongli Muchuan to help him, "Master Muchuan, wash with me, I don't want you to get sick because of me."

"Okay." Zhongli Muchuan didn't know why he agreed by accident, if he wanted to find out the reason, probably what happened today made him realize his dependence and trust on Fan Qing.So he kind of believed it, believed that he had experienced the unforgettable things he said with Fan Qing.

The wet coats were put on the hanger one by one, and Zhongli Muchuan helped Fan Qing lift up the water. The tears on Fan Qing's face hadn't faded, and there were dirty lumps hanging on his cheeks.

Zhongli Muchuan twisted the towel slightly to wipe his face.Although the two are bathing in the same bathtub, they both have their own concerns and have no time to take care of others.Zhongli Muchuan was very conflicted, he couldn't believe it, after only meeting the person in front of him for a few days, he got used to taking care of him and began to rely on him.If what Fan Qing said was true, should he be happy or worried?He seemed to be secretly delighted, but this delight made him feel uneasy and illusory.But Fan Qing was in an inexplicable sadness, and hadn't recovered from the heartache by the river.Only then did he start to seriously think about Zhongli Muchuan's amnesia, and if he couldn't remember his Muchuan master, would he still be the original Muchuan master?At that time, why did his master Mu Chuan distrust him so much and chose to leave?

After taking a bath, the two wore plain clothes and each drank a bowl of ginger tea.After eating some food from Er Fatty, no one spoke for a long time.

After Zhongli Muchuan put Fan Qing to sleep, he was also tired and lay down to rest without caring about cleaning up the used dishes.Although he was physically tired, his heart was full of doubts.He heard Fan Qing's slight breathing, and looked sideways under the moonlight at the head of the bed. He had already closed his eyes and rested.After struggling for a while, he still opened his mouth, "Are you asleep?"

Fan Qing's eyelids moved slightly, but did not open, "What's wrong?"

"Why did I forget you?" Zhongli Muchuan paused, "Why did I separate from you again?"

Fan Qing pretended to be calm and replied, "Because of me, you planted Junsi in your heart; later, because of me, Junsi got poisoned. After that, I couldn't save you, and I couldn't find you." Fan Qing Qing felt tears welling in his eyes, and dared not open them.

Zhongli Muchuan frowned, and then he looked down at his heart, there was indeed a very obvious scar.Furthermore, besides him, Jun Siwo knows about things like this, and logically speaking, most people would not know about them.However, if his Jun Siwo poisoned him, and the people around him were not dead, how would he survive?However, now he believed Qing'er's words tentatively.

"I can really trust you."

"Ah."

The words of the two people were indifferent, without any waves.

"Since I believe you, you should also believe me. I am no different from Master Mu Chuan in your memory."

Fan Qing's heart seemed to be knocked, "There is no difference? Yes, no matter what, what he experienced with him in the past was Master Mu Chuan beside him, not someone else." He thought this in his heart, and then laughed. said.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at you!"

"Why are you laughing at me?" Before the words finished, Fan Qing's face propped up on his elbows turned up.

"I laugh at you for throwing yourself into a trap!"

"What since..."

Fan Qing's kiss blocked Zhongli Muchuan's mouth, and his tongue swirled in it forcefully.Zhongli Muchuan couldn't stand it, he closed his eyes tightly, looking like he couldn't bear it.

After a while, Fan Qing stopped, his face hung very close to Zhongli Muchuan.Zhongli Muchuan's face flushed, and he said awkwardly, "Although you can't see, you are very accurate in kissing me."

"That's because practice makes perfect." Fan Qing turned his head and said into Zhongli Muchuan's ear.

"You, why are you not ashamed when you say these words!" He saw that Fan Qing's complexion did not change at all, but his face should have turned red. Fortunately, Fan Qing couldn't see his appearance, otherwise he would really be ashamed .

Fan Qing just laughed, and then lay on the side. "I'll give you a chance. Come here with your eyes closed and see if you can kiss me."

"I," Zhongli Muchuan faltered, but his body moved, and he slowly leaned over.He didn't close his eyes, because he knew that if he closed his eyes, he would definitely not be able to kiss.His face leaned over slowly, and under the moonlight, it was the first time in his memory that he carefully looked at Qing'er's face. It was a delicate beauty that touched his heartstrings.His lips pressed lightly, and then quickly left, very soft and sweet.Before he had time to react when he stayed there, Fan Qing crushed his whole body, and his lips and tongue were occupied by him defenselessly.His whole body gradually fell into the abyss...

Zhongli Muchuan never thought that he would do such a thing, but in front of Qing'er, everything was so natural.He recalled the distant memory of him and Fan Cheng sitting on a tree watching the fireflies all over the sky, but now Fan Cheng's face appeared in his vague consciousness as Qing'er, and his vacant heart was filled up in an instant. up.
