Peter's Enemy

In the morning of the second day, the sun's rays shone into Zhongli Muchuan's room, and it looked warm.He leaned on the bed and sat up with some difficulty, his waist still aching.He turned his head to look at Fan Qing who was still asleep beside him, his cheeks blushed uncontrollably, some images of the night came to his mind, he looked down at his naked upper body again, then shook his head vigorously, feeling It's just unbelievable.Zhongli Muchuan picked up the clothes on the quilt and put them on, and then took the dishes on the table downstairs.In the morning it was his time to guard the shop, he had to go down, and he didn't wake up Fan Qing because he wanted him to sleep longer.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw Uncle Wu sitting on a chair, while Xiaoyue stood obediently aside.Seeing Zhongli Muchuan coming down, Xiaoyue said softly, "Father, Brother Muchuan is here." Uncle Wu looked up, and Zhongli Muchuan was walking towards him.Uncle Wu got up, his face full of worry, "Mr. Ding, is he okay? I brought this girl here to apologize today, Xiaoyue is so ignorant!" Xiaoyue lowered her head, her throat filled with tears , whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhongli Muchuan didn't expect them to take it so seriously, so he made a special trip, "You don't have to take it to heart, he's fine. But, Uncle Wu, why do you call him Mr. Ding?"

Uncle Wu breathed a sigh of relief first, and then asked in confusion: "Mu Chuan, don't you know his name? Isn't he called Ding Jinu?"

Zhongli Muchuan pretended to be calm, "Oh, I'm probably a little confused. He's fine, you really don't have to worry about it, go back." Zhongli Muchuan was still holding dirty dishes in his hand, he looked at Xiaoyue, rushed She smiled, "Xiaoyue, don't blame yourself, I will take my elder brother to play with you in the afternoon."

Shopkeeper Lin was burying his head in front of the counter to settle the accounts. He couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Don't worry about ink stains, as long as people are fine. Mu Chuan, go to the kitchen and help clean up."

"Yes, shopkeeper Lin."

Zhongli Muchuan responded and walked towards the kitchen inside. Uncle Wu nodded to shopkeeper Lin, and walked out of the inn with Xiaoyue by his arm.Xiaoyue just looked down at the road without speaking.

Uncle Wu said, "Xiaoyue, we have to admit when we make a mistake, and we have to take responsibility if something happens to someone. But fortunately, people are fine. Since they are fine, don't take it to heart. Learn a lesson. Just don’t do it again next time.”

Xiaoyue lowered her head and shed tears, "Daddy, don't you blame me?"

"Daddy doesn't blame you, but he's afraid that if you kill someone, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Fortunately, you're all fine now."

"Daddy!" Xiaoyue cried while hugging Uncle Wu's leg.

Because Xiaoyue had no mother since she was a child, Uncle Wu has always cherished Xiaoyue so that she can grow up without any worries.He knelt down and wiped Xiaoyue's tears with his sleeve, "Xiaoyue, don't cry, go home, Daddy will make some fish soup later, and I will let you send some over there."

"En!" Xiaoyue nodded, and followed Uncle Wu back home.

Zhongli Muchuan was busy working below, but his heart was not at ease.Has he gotten up, is he hungry, and does he need someone to help him relieve his hand.Also, why did he lie to him, obviously, why didn't he tell him that he had a name?

There were not many people in the inn, so he threw the towel to Er Pang, "Look at it for me, I'll come down right away."Er Fatty sat on the bench and ran away without realizing it, "The one upstairs is really the master's life." He muttered to himself.

Zhongli Muchuan first ran to the kitchen, took a pot of hot tea and a bowl of steamed buns before going upstairs.He gently opened the door, but there was no movement on the bed, and the person was still lying there.He put the tea and rice on the table, then walked to the bed and sat down, "I can really sleep." He said softly, and then looked at Fan Qing's arm exposed outside the quilt. His white skin was very attractive, and his gaze Further upwards, the collarbone and Adam's apple at the neck exude unobstructed charm.Looking at the rosy lips again, his heart trembled, and the events of the night flashed through his mind again. He bit his lips, then lifted the quilt and stuffed Fan Qing's exposed arms inside.Just as he was about to withdraw his hand from the warm quilt, Fan Qing grabbed his wrist.

"You woke up early, didn't you?"

"I was suffocated, and you don't come to see me, what can I do?" Fan Qing took Zhongli Muchuan's hand and sat up, the quilt fell to half of his body, and his upper body was left naked in the air.

Zhongli Muchuan was a little flustered when he heard his words, "Ah, why didn't you call me earlier, don't hold back." He hurriedly took the clothes on the bed and put them on for Fan Qing.

"It's not good if the place is suffocated." Fan Qing said.

Zhongli Muchuan blushed a bit, "It's this time, and you're still talking nasty things."

"What I'm talking about is serious, but you're thinking it wrong." Fan Qing said, slowly stretched out a hand, pinched Zhongli Muchuan's chin fumblingly, and then tapped Zhongli Muchuan's lips with his lips.

Fan Qing smiled and said, "That's great, a kiss in the morning."

Zhongli Muchuan looked at Fan Qing's rosy lips, and felt joyful as if he had won, but said, "It's not morning time, it's almost noon."

"What? It's almost noon? Oh, no wonder I'm holding back so hard."

"Next time, don't be foolish and call me if you need something."

"Well, I will definitely call you the first time next time."

After going to the backyard to relieve their hands, the two hurried back to the house. Zhongli Muchuan poured hot tea for Fan Qing and brought him some steamed buns, "Eat some, and rest in the room after eating. take you out."

"Are you leaving again?" Fan Qing muttered, chewing on a steamed bun.

"I'm downstairs, call me if you need something."

"Oh." Fan Qing continued to chew the steamed buns.

"I asked you something, why didn't you tell me your real name and let me call you Qing'er?"

"How do you know my real name?" Fan Qing thought he knew his surname.

"Uncle Wu came here in the morning, and he told me."

Only then did Fan Qing suddenly realize that Master Mu Chuan thought Ding Jinu was his real name.He took a cup of tea and drank it warmly, "Ding Jinu is not my real name, but Fan Qing is my real name."

Zhongli Muchuan's eye sockets dilated slightly, "Fan, Fan Qing!" He murmured silently in his heart, "Fan Qing? Fan Cheng?" His head hurt like it was going to burst, his brows and eyes were wrinkled, and his hands pressed tightly against his temples "Ah—" Zhongli Muchuan moaned shortly and softly.

Hearing this voice, Fan Qing felt very uneasy, "Master Mu Chuan, what's wrong with you?" He pressed one hand on Zhongli Mu Chuan's knee, and the other hand was still holding a steamed bun.

"You let me take it easy." Zhongli Muchuan said with difficulty.

Hearing what he said, Fan Qing could only sit aside and wait.After a while, Zhongli Muchuan spoke again, "Are you the son of Fancheng?"

"You remember me?" Fan Qing asked happily.

"I just remembered, and remembered something else." Originally, Zhongli Muchuan had forgotten everything related to Fan Qing, so much so that it was implicated in Fancheng, so he also forgot that he domesticated Qing pigeons to send family letters for Fancheng. He also forgot what Fan Cheng looked like when he died, and the words Fan Cheng left him before he died, asking him to go to Anyang to rescue Fan Qing.But now, he remembered it all, and these memories made him feel heavy.

"So, you really know me, because I went to Anyang to save you, and then brought you to live in that cave."

"You all remember?"

Zhongli Muchuan looked at Fan Qing's happy face, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, "No. I didn't remember, I just guessed based on what you said."

"So what did you remember? You remembered Fancheng, didn't you?"

"You don't know, your father loves you very much."

"I really don't know, but I don't want to know either." Fan Qing's voice suddenly became louder, his emotions a little out of control, "I just don't want you to love him."

Zhongli Muchuan is still immersed in his own memory, "I, I seem to have really loved him. But that feeling has disappeared, and it only exists in my memory."

"So, do you love me? I don't ask you to love me in the past, I only want your present and your future to only love me."

Zhongli Muchuan stared at Fan Qing, seeing these words come out of his lips word by word, he rushed forward and hugged Fan Qing, tears couldn't stop streaming out, "I love you, love you very much, Only love you."

Fan Qing put one arm around Zhongli Muchuan's waist, and smiled, "It's great, I finally heard your heart, probably there is no regret in death."

"But I can't remember those things, I can't remember." Zhongli Muchuan cried while lying on Fan Qing's shoulder.

Fan Qing patted Zhongli Muchuan's back with one hand, "It's okay, I'll tell you one by one in the future, and you can memorize it again."

After Zhongli Muchuan cried for a while, his heart became clear.He knew where he came from, and he knew where he was going.His home is Fan Qing, whether it is out of gratitude to Fan Cheng or his own intentions, he is destined to be tied to Fan Qing for the rest of his life.Thinking this way, he came downstairs, where Er Pang was cleaning up the table, and he rushed over, "Brother Fatty, I'll clean it up."

Fat brother pouted, "It's been a long time for you to go." He handed the towel hanging around his neck to Zhongli Muchuan.

"Hello Fat Brother, Fat Brother is a very good person." Zhongli Muchuan smiled at Fat Brother with a thumbs up.

"Che, just flatter me." Fat Brother didn't mind acting for him for a while, he saw Zhongli Mu Chuan's eyes were a little red, so he said, "Mu Chuan, did you cry just now?"

Zhongli Muchuan gasped, "No, it's nothing, just got sand in his eyes just now." He quickly packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen, fleeing the scene.

Er Pang found another bench to sit there to rest, but he was wondering, "Why is there sand in such a good room?"

After not being busy for a long time, it was time for lunch.Zhongli Muchuan had just washed his hands and was about to go upstairs when he saw Xiaoyue entering the inn with a lunch box at the door.

"Xiaoyue, why are you here?" Zhongli Muchuan smiled softly.

Xiaoyue stuffed the lunch box to Zhongli Muchuan, "This is daddy's fish soup, let me bring it to you and big brother to make up for yourself." While talking, Xiaoyue didn't look up, and ran out with her head down after speaking.

"Xiaoyue!" Ren Zhongli Mu Chuan shouted but did not call Xiaoyue over.

Shopkeeper Lin was resting at the counter, saw this scene, and said, "This is a blessing in disguise, and there is fish soup to drink."

"Xiaoyue is sorry to bring fish soup here. I have to go to Uncle Wu's house again in the afternoon." Zhongli Muchuan said with a smile.

"Go, go, anyway, the business is very cold these days, so we don't need so many people."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Lin." Zhongli Muchuan turned and went upstairs.

Entering the room, Zhongli Muchuan saw Fan Qing lying on the bed with his legs crossed.Fan Qing heard the movement and sat up, "You are back."

"Xiaoyue sent you fish soup and told you to make up for it."

"Replenish what? Replenish the body" Fan Qing said with a strange smile.

Zhongli Muchuan knew that his head was full of bad things, he put the lunch box on the table, and said, "It's for your brain, Xiaoyue knows that your brain is not normal."

"Then you still like me, who is not normal?"

"Stop being so talkative, were you always so talkative before?"

"Fortunately, I talk more when I'm in a good mood. If you like me, I'll be in a good mood."

Zhongli Muchuan had nothing to do with Fan Qing, so he walked over to help him sit in front of the table, and filled two bowls of fish soup.He scooped it out carefully with a spoon, and took out the big thorns in the fish soup, before handing it to Fan Qing, "Drink." Fan Qing didn't even ask, and straightened his neck and drank it.

Zhongli Muchuan drank slowly at the side, seeing Fan Qing drinking so hard, he said, "You like fish soup so much?"

Fan Qing put the finished bowl on the table, and the bottom of the bowl was clean, "I told you to nourish your body, drink the rest, you should make up more."

Zhongli Muchuan's face turned red all of a sudden, the fish soup choked his throat and coughed it out.

"Are you okay, you drink, I shut up."

Just as Zhongli Muchuan was about to tell him to shut up, Fan Qing consciously stopped.After he recovered, he realized that Fan Qing couldn't see, so he couldn't bear to make him shut up, "You can say whatever you want, you don't have to keep silent just because of me." Zhongli Muchuan continued to drink fish soup.

"After drinking the soup, can you come again in the evening?"

This time Zhongli Muchuan squirted out the soup directly, and the ground was wet.

Fan Qing consciously said the wrong thing again, "I really don't want to talk anymore. If you tell me to talk, I won't talk anymore. I'll talk after you finish drinking."

Zhongli Muchuan couldn't drink anymore, so he packed up two bowls and a lunch box, "I won't drink any more, I'll take it down and give it to Fat Brother and shopkeeper Lin."

"Shopkeeper Lin is quite nice, she didn't scold us when we came back yesterday."

"I've said it earlier. Shopkeeper Lin has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. She is quite a nice person. Otherwise, she wouldn't take me in, let alone you."

"Oh. It's okay tonight..."

"Impossible!" Zhongli Muchuan's waist still hurts now, thinking about it is a nightmare.

Fan Qing sat there blankly, feeling aggrieved.

Seeing him like this, Zhongli Muchuan had no choice but to coax him again, "I'll take you to Xiaoyue's house to play in the afternoon, and come back after playing in the evening, okay?"

Fan Qing was a little sensitive when he heard the word "evening", but he couldn't say anything more, so he could only respond, "Okay."

In the afternoon, Zhongli Muchuan took Fan Qing to find Xiaoyue and returned the lunch box by the way.Uncle Wu went out, and only Xiaoyue was sitting in the yard playing with the chickens.Seeing the two of them approaching, Xiaoyue didn't say a word at first, her face was heavy.Zhongli Muchuan walked over, "Why, you still take it to heart? Do you think big brother is alive and well?"

Fan Qing immediately cooperated, "After drinking Xiaoyue's fish soup, I am now in good health!"

Xiaoyue took the lunch box, "Daddy made the fish soup, not Xiaoyue's."

"That was also sent by Xiaoyue." Fan Qing smiled, and then said, "Xiaoyue, I want to fly a kite later, is it sunny today?"

Xiaoyue whispered softly, "No, I can't cause you any more accidents."

"It's okay, nothing will happen with your brother Mu Chuan."

"Xiaoyue, take out the kite, everything will be fine with me."

"Ok."

Xiaoyue took the kite and watched Zhongli Muchuan and Fan Qing flying the kite in the open space in front of the big tree.Zhongli Mu Chuanhuan was behind Fan Qing, holding Fan Qing's kite-flying hands tightly, reeling up and setting out the line together with him, moving forward and backward.Xiaoyue was so happy looking at Gao Fei's kite, she put all her previous troubles behind her, jumped and shouted beside her, "Wow, wow——"

Several people were a little tired after sitting for a while, and their backs were sweating a little.Zhongli Muchuan carried one in each of his left and right hands, and took Fan Qing and Xiaoyue to sit on the tree, "Is it still cool up there?"

"Cool!" Xiaoyue said with a smile, her calf dangling back and forth in the air.

Fan Qing leaned against the innermost tree trunk, his waist was still tightly held by Zhongli Muchuan's arm, "It's spring now, the wind is blowing and it's not cold at all."

Zhongli Muchuan said, "That's right, I think the willows by the river have already sprouted young leaves."

"Well, spring has come!" Xiaoyue said happily, "When it's summer, I can wear beautiful skirts and go boating on the river!"

"That sounds really interesting." Fan Qing said.

"Yes, taking a break in summer is the most comfortable, and taking a long nap under the shade of trees is the most enjoyable." Zhongli Muchuan added.

"You can still eat watermelon in summer. If you put the watermelon in the well water to cool it before opening it, it will be so cool and delicious!" Xiaoyue thought of the watermelon very happily.

"I really want to eat it." Fan Qing said.

"Big brother, you and brother Muchuan can come to my house to eat at that time. The well water in my backyard will be cold in summer."

"Okay, Xiaoyue is not allowed to go back on his word when the time comes."

"Xiaoyue will never break her promise, let alone brother Mu Chuan is here to testify!"

"I have testified that Lai will be at Xiaoyue's house when the time comes."

Several people laughed happily on the tree for a while, and the time quickly slipped into the evening.The setting sun slanted on Xiaoyue's leaving shadow, Zhongli Muchuan still led Fan Qing to stand under the tree.

"Qing'er, let me take you to kowtow in front of your father's grave."

"Ah."

Zhongli Muchuan left the town with Fan Qing on his back, and walked a section of dirt road before arriving at the cemetery.He helped Fan Qing walk to Fancheng's grave, "This is your father's grave."

Fan Qing touched the wooden sign standing in front of the grave, touched the mound of dirt, and then knelt down, "Father, if your bones are still there, if you can hear what I say, bless us, bless me Master He Muchuan just lived his life in a normal way." He kowtowed three times, neither saying national hatred nor family hatred, he simply sought his father's blessing in front of the grave.

Zhongli Muchuan helped Fan Qing up, thinking to himself, "Fancheng, I saved Fan Qing for you back then, and fulfilled your last wish. Even if I owe you something, it should be enough to pay it back after so many years. From then on, I, Zhongli Muchuan, am just Zhongli Muchuan, and I will no longer be your accessory."

"Master Muchuan? Master Muchuan?" Fan Qing couldn't hear Zhongli Muchuan's words for a long time, so he shouted.

Zhongli Muchuan looked at the big tomb next to the small tomb again, but didn't say anything.Fan Qing didn't need to know the tomb created by the war where so many innocent lives were buried. He only needed to remember it.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

Zhongli Muchuan carried Fan Qing on his back again and walked on the moonlit dirt road.

"Master Mu Chuan, do you know that when we lived in the cave, you often carried me like this. If I was late for fun, you would bring a small lantern to find me."

"is it?"

"Yeah, I remember those things."

"Unfortunately I don't remember."

"No, it's not a pity. These memories are nothing compared to your life. As long as you live, I can remember these things alone. As long as one of us remembers, those friendships will not disappear."

"Well, it will never disappear."
