Drunk into late autumn for you

The cabin is not big, but there are tables, chairs, beds and two quilts.

There were candles and flint stones on the table, and Fen Zuiqiu was afraid that boats would come chasing after the Jishen Peak. If the lamp was lit, it would be easy to reveal his whereabouts, so he did not light the lamp. In the dark, he took off his wet peasant clothes and wrapped himself in a quilt to keep warm. .

He wanted to take off the wet clothes for the young man, but the young man insisted on doing it himself, he got into another quilt, gasped for breath, took off the clothes after a long time, and threw it to Mo Zuiqiu.

This little guy has a lot of strange problems!Mo Zuiqiu couldn't help shaking his head secretly.Thinking of the few days when the boy hid in his room, he was also unwilling to take off his clothes in front of him, and asked him to wait outside the room just after scrubbing his body.

If he hadn't really seen the small Adam's apple in the young man's throat, and the young man's tone and demeanor were completely childlike, he couldn't guarantee that he would not doubt the boy's gender.

He helped the boy wipe off his wet hair, and took the wet clothes of the two of them to the deck to dry.

After dawn, he had to find a way to buy a horse from the nearest market and drive on his way. I wonder if he could reach Broken Sword Xiaozhu before the people who offered sacrifices to God Peak?When Master sees him again, I don't know what expression he will have...

Mo Zuiqiu sat on the bow of the boat with his knees hugged, his heart alternately happy and sometimes worrying, and his thousands of thoughts finally merged with the endless black night ahead, without any bright colors in sight.

"... Zuiqiu... Mo Zuiqiu..."

When he heard the call for the third time, Mo Zuiqiu finally came back to his senses, bent down and went back to the cabin, and asked the boy on the bed: "What's the matter with you calling me? Is it uncomfortable? Please bear with it for a while, and then wait a while." It will be dawn in a while. I will send you to the doctor as soon as possible when you touch the shore.”

The young man didn't answer, his whole body was curled up in the quilt, only Zhang Xiaojian was exposed, his black and white eyes were extraordinarily bright in the darkness, he stared at the concern in Mo Zuiqiu's eyes for a long time before he was dissatisfied Di whispered: "I didn't allow you to sit in the cabin, why are you hiding outside and staring blankly? If you catch a cold and fall ill, I can't control you."

"As long as you don't beat me up, I'll stay here." Mo Zui felt his cheeks that were still swollen and sore, thinking that although this young man's mouth is fierce and sometimes moody, his heart is not too bad. He actually knows how to care about people.

As for killing the two guards, it was really a last resort, and besides staying with Yaoquan's cold and ruthless master for a long time, it's no wonder that the young man was infected with hostility and didn't take human life seriously.only--

"By the way, aren't you Yaoquan's apprentice? Why doesn't Qin Song know you?" Mo Zuiqiu had been circling this question for a long time, and at this moment he couldn't vomit it.

The young man's eyelashes trembled slightly, he coughed and said sullenly: "We follow Master, and we are busy in the alchemy room all day long, so we don't have time to walk around. Mr. Qin Song is also a busy person, so he doesn't pay attention to us medicine boys."

Mo Zuiqiu thought about it, and saw that the young man was struggling to speak, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't bear to ask any more, Xu young man tucked the bed tightly, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Seeing the young man's eyes widening, Mo Zuiqiu leaned against the side of the couch tightly under the quilt, and also closed his eyes to regain his composure.

This time, he fell into a deep sleep.Mo Zuiqiu didn't wake up until his face was a little hot from the warm sun.

The sky was already bright, and through the side windows of the cabin, countless light and shadows shone.

The young man had put on his clothes to dry, and was sitting cross-legged in meditation facing Mo Zuiqiu, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and a pale white mist slowly emerging from his head.

Mo Zuiqiu naturally understood that this was the most critical juncture of his luck, if he was disturbed a little, he would be in danger of going mad, so he held his breath and did not dare to make a sound.He was amazed from the bottom of his heart, he knew that the youth's martial arts were very high, but he never expected that he had reached the state of perfection.Looking at Xiaozhu, his master may not have such a cultivation level.

If the apprentice is like this, Yaoquan's ability must be higher, and the big devil of the Master Sacrificial God, isn't it to the point of being unfathomable?If the devil chooses Xiaozhu again, I wonder if the sect master can save the master?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt palpitations, and suddenly he heard a low cough from the young man, and after spitting out a big mouthful of dark purple and black blood, he opened his eyes.

The boy smiled at Mo Zuiqiu, grabbed Mo Zuiqiu's clothes on the ground and threw them into his arms. "I've brought your clothes in for you. Put them on quickly, and then look for food on the boat. I'm hungry."

A moment ago, Mo Zuiqiu was still wondering why the young man would be so enthusiastic about helping him put away his clothes. Hearing this, he was annoyed and funny, but when the young man reminded him, he really felt hungry, so he got up and put on his clothes.

The boy's dark eyes rolled around his body without making a sound.

"Xiao Han, what are you looking at?..."" Mo Yanqiu didn't think of avoiding suspicion in front of this little boy, and being scrutinized so carelessly by him, his face turned red and his ears felt a little hot.

The young man's gaze stayed on Mo Zuiqiu's lower body for a while, and finally moved out of the window, teasing Ni: "I just want to see if someone's own hair has grown. Speaking of someone's parts, there may not be mine. It’s big, and I don’t know if it’s strong enough when used.”

Mo Zuiqiu was embarrassed, quickly put on her clothes, her face turned red and blue, she really didn't know what to say, it took a long time to straighten her face, and reprimanded: "Xiaohan, what do you know about adults' things! You talk nonsense again, Do you still want to eat?"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that Mo Zuiqiu became angry from embarrassment, the young man turned his back and finally laughed. He passed Mo Zuiqiu and stepped onto the deck, staring at the Jishen Peak, which had shrunk into a little black shadow between the sky and water, and entered triumphantly: "Mo Zuiqiu Qiu, don't treat me like a child who doesn't know anything, and don't act like an adult in front of me from now on."

How could Yaoquan be cold-mouthed and cold-faced to teach such an apprentice who is as big as a kid?Mo Zuiqiu shook his head.

Searching in the cabin, Mo Zuiqiu found nothing except for a few pieces of silver.At this time, it was past noon, and there were gradually more houses and pedestrians along the river bank.

Mo Zuiqiu has been back and forth on the Liancheng River several times, and he is quite familiar with the situation on both sides of the river. He remembered that there was a bustling town there, so he decided to abandon the boat and go ashore here.

The young man thought the same, so the two chose an uninhabited ferry with dense trees and moored the boat.

Qi Zuiqiu originally wanted to scuttle the boat to prevent the chasers from Jishen Peak from finding out his whereabouts, but after thinking about it, Shijishen must have known that he had returned to Xiaozhu to report his disappearance, so there was really no need to scuttle the boat.

He picked up the young man, and used the broken silver to buy a fast horse at the market, and bought some new clothes for himself and the young man, and then found a secluded inn to stay, and changed the yellow shirts on the two of them.

"Xiaohan..." He combed the young man's hair, put the remaining two pieces of silver into the young man's hands, and said, "I just asked the shopkeeper, there is a doctor in the east of the town who is very skilled in medicine. Eat some first Things, I’ll send you there. You take these silver taels as money, and when your injury recovers, you can go home by yourself.”

The young man showed surprise on his face, and then anger appeared in his face. "You think I'm cumbersome and want to get rid of me?"

Mo Zuiqiu saw that the young man was about to get angry again, and hurriedly denied: "Xiaohan, don't worry too much, I don't want to hurt you. You managed to escape from the Jishen Peak, follow me, sooner or later you will be caught again by the people from the Jishen Peak. Don’t you forgive me to go back to my hometown and reunite with my family?”

The boy's anger gradually subsided, he lowered his head and remained silent. After a while, he finally raised his head, looked at Mo Zuiqiu, and said quietly: "Ziqiu, like you, my parents have passed away long ago. You still have Master is your relative, but mine only wants to kill me. Tell me, where else can I go back?"

His expression was extremely calm, but Mo Zuiqiu couldn't ignore the sadness that couldn't be hidden deep in the young man's pupils. He felt sorry for each other, and couldn't help feeling sour. He asked in a low voice, "Then what are your plans?"

"I don't know either^" the boy bit his lip, tearfully holding Mo Zuiqiu's hand. "In this world, I don't have any relatives anymore. Zuiqiu, don't leave me alone, can't you take me back to Xiaozhu?"

"But—" Mo Zuiqiu could now see clearly that he couldn't resist the young man's soft words, but his reason told him that he couldn't agree.He took a hard breath, and said calmly: "Xiao Han, there are some things I haven't told you. I broke the school rules and have already been expelled from the division. Even if I go back to Broken Sword Xiaozhu, I can't let you stay ah!"

The boy was stunned for a moment, but he still said stubbornly: "I don't care, I want to go with you."

Mo Zuiqiu got along with the young man for a long time, and fled together together. Invisibly, he regarded the young man as a friend in need, and pitied the young man alone, lonely and helpless. After several struggles in his heart, he finally made up his mind. "Okay, I'll take you back to Xiaozhu. No matter what, I will ask Master to take you back."

The two went downstairs and ordered two bowls of noodles in the lobby of the inn to satisfy their hunger.After eating, Mo Zuiqiu was about to take the young man to the clinic, but the young man flatly refused. "No need to go, my injury can heal by itself."

He asked Xiao Er for pen and ink, and without thinking about it, he wrote down the name of the medicine on a whole page, and handed it to Mo Zuiqiu. "I've got the medicine, I'll cook it."

Mo Zuiqiu thought that the young man is Yaoquan's disciple, and his medical skills should be good, so he went out to get medicine.

There are twenty to thirty kinds of herbs listed in the prescription, and two of them are very rare. Mo Zuiqiu went to several drugstores before buying all the herbs. He was afraid that the boy would wait in the inn for a long time, so he hurried back .

When he was approaching the inn, he unexpectedly saw the boy standing in front of a peddler's stall selling pastries, talking to the peddler in a low voice.

The boy also saw him at the same time, and said with a smile, "Ziqiu, you're back! I was just about to buy a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Children are children after all, and they love snacks and sweets.Mo Zuiqiu smiled, took out two copper coins and wanted to go over to pay the bill, but the shopkeeper smiled all over his face, wrapped up a few pieces of candy cakes and respectfully handed them to the young man, pushed the truck and left with his head in his hands.

"Hey! You haven't got the money yet!" Mo Zuiqiu was stunned, and chased after the peddler's back and yelled twice, but the man ignored it and ran faster instead.

"Don't shout, I had a good talk with him, and he gave me the sweet-scented osmanthus cake voluntarily. Come, Zuiqiu, you can try it too." The young man smiled and picked up a piece of diamond cake, and gave half of it to Mo Zui Qiu asked again, "Have you bought all the medicines? Let's go back and decoct the medicines."

Without waiting for Mo Zuiqiu to answer, the young man dragged Mo Zuiqiu back to the inn, and borrowed a clay pot and a stove from the shopkeeper. .

Mo Zuiqiu was idle, so he followed the young man to the kitchen to help clean the herbs.

He always thought that the many herbs were needed by the young man to heal his wounds, but unexpectedly the young man separated the herbs and boiled them in two earthen pots. "I don't need so many medicinal materials for my injury. One can is for you to make blood-tonifying soup."

The young man sat in the faint smoke and turned his head, looked at Mo Zuiqiu, smiled half-truthfully and said, "I ate almost all of your medicinal food during the few days on the mountain, and I will make it up for you now, so that you won't have to sit on your stomach in the future." Said I bullied you."

"Am I such a mean person?"

Mo Zuiqiu couldn't help being funny, but deep down in his heart, warmth grew.I couldn't help stretching out my hand, gently rubbing the boy's black and soft hair, and smiling: "Xiaohan, I know you are just a little irritable sometimes, but you are actually very sensible. My master will definitely like you."

"Ahem..." The young man's expression suddenly became very strange, he coughed loudly, and fanned the fire vigorously, the medicine juice in the medicine pot burst out.The hot air filled the air, covering the young man's tenderness.

Mo Zuiqiu could only vaguely hear the boy mutter: "Who wants him to like it? Hmph!"

At dusk, one rides a dusty ride, running under the dark red half-falling sun, and the wind blows the rider's hair and clothes wildly.

"Xiaohan, is it cold?" Mo Zuiqiu did not forget to ask the boy sitting behind him while galloping. "If we really can't bear it, we'll go ahead and find a place to stay, and we'll be on our way tomorrow during the day."

After the two of them finished taking the decoction, it was getting late.The young man knew that Mo Zuiqiu was eager to return home, so he offered to go on the road overnight.Mo Zuiqiu naturally couldn't wish for it, but now the night wind is blowing stronger and stronger, he can still persevere, but he is worried that the young man will be seriously injured and it will be difficult to resist the night chill.

A disapproving voice came from the young man behind: "No need. This little wind is nothing!"

The boy's physique always seemed to be much stronger than he imagined... Mo Zuiqiu felt relieved and flicked his horsewhip.Go all the way.As night fell, the sparsely populated road became more and more deserted, only the sound of horseshoes trampling.

Every time the steed took a step, he was one step closer to Xiaozhu, thinking that he would see the man in white again in the near future, Mo Zuiqiu was bewildered and sour mixed with joy.

He could finally see his master again, even though he knew that he could no longer be accepted by the master.Maybe even stepping half a step into Xiaozhu is impossible, but if you can catch a glimpse of Guan Shanyu from afar.Even if he could say a word to his master, even if he was immediately driven away, he would be satisfied.

It's just that before that, he must settle Xiaohan properly. As long as the master is willing to take Xiaohan in, he will fulfill his promise to the young man and settle his last concern.

"Xiaohan...you stay in Broken Sword Xiaozhu from now on, but don't lose your temper easily. Although my master is mild-tempered, Master Ge is the strictest person, and he is never lenient when punishing disciples. You have to remember to try not to piss him off, you know?"

Anyway, there was nothing to do on the road, so Mo Zuiqiu simply planned ahead and reminded the young man of all the places in the small building that should be paid attention to and avoid.The one who talked the most was of course Master Guan Shanyu.

What Master likes, what he dislikes, what kind of dishes he likes to eat, where he likes to drink the tea picked, what time does he get up in the morning, when he goes to bed at night when he was a child, how much green salt to use for mouthwash, what kind of poems and books he likes to read in his spare time , Which quilt is on the couch when you are tired and sleepy, which shop in the city should you buy the sandalwood in the study... Bit by bit, Mo Zuiqiu remembered it all in his heart, and slowly said it like a treasure.

"Also, I bought the toothbrush that Master used to comb his hair two years ago. It's time to get a new one. Xiaohan, remember to go to 'Qingsiji' to buy it. Their toothbrush is finely made, with rounded tips. It will hurt your scalp. Ah, and..."

He explained everything carefully, and it took him a long time to realize that in the cold air of Yewen, only his own voice, humming and hoofbeats echoed. From the beginning to the end, the boy behind him never responded.

Mo Zuiqiujing and Ding Jing finally stopped talking, and asked softly: "Xiaohan, are you listening to me? Are you too tired and want to sleep?"

The young man hummed, which was an answer, and after a while, he suddenly chuckled: "Mo Zuiqiu, you really like your master so much, no wonder you are reluctant to throw away your master's empty medicine bottle and hide it as a treasure. Death and flee back to him.”

His laughter was sandwiched between the hoofbeats, it was not loud, but it sounded like the sharpest needle in Mo Zuiqiu's ears, piercing the secret he had painstakingly concealed for many years.

Feeling flustered, he hurriedly concealed it: "Master has been kind to me in nurturing me. I have regarded him as his father since I was a child. It is human nature to like him. Xiaohan, don't talk nonsense!"

"Come on, if you don't have random thoughts in your heart, are you afraid that I will talk nonsense?" The young man snorted and said in an old-fashioned tone: "Even if your own son treats Lao Tzu, he may not understand and care about you to the extent that you care deeply about a person. If you don't Hate to the bone is love to the bone, don't think I can't hear it."

All the pretense was easily described by the young man, Mo Zuiqiu's mouth was full of bitterness, and he stopped his mount abruptly.

The young man was caught off guard, and due to inertia, he bumped into Mo Zuiqiu's back. He rubbed his sore nose and complained, "Stop it as you say!"

Mo Zuiqiu was silent for a long time, and then said in a shy voice: "Xiao Han, don't tell anyone what you said just now, especially don't say it in front of my master."

The young man couldn't see the expression on Mo Zuiqiu's face, but hearing his desolate tone, he nodded and said, "Okay, I won't say anything."

Both of them fell silent immediately, and walked for more than ten miles in silence, the sky was completely dark, and there were only a few sparse old trees around, and the scenery was desolate.

The young man yawned lightly, and suddenly said sullenly: "Ziqiu, why did your master expel you from the school? Well, if you don't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask, hehe..."

Here it comes again... Mo Zuiqiu frowned secretly, imagining that even if he didn't want to answer now, the boy would stay in Xiaozhu in the future, and sooner or later he would learn the truth from other people.He sighed slightly in his heart, and told the young man the whole story.

At first, the boy just asked casually out of curiosity, but the more he listened, the more angry he became. "How unreasonable! You snatched the blood Ganoderma lucidum to cure your master's illness, but he was lucky enough to drive you away after eating it with the front foot, and even helped your master Ge to pick up your tendons. I think he is a fool. I don't deserve you to care about him so much!"

"Don't speak ill of my master!" Mo Zuiqiu roared suddenly, startling two or three birds in the treetops flying away.

The young man choked up, his eyes showed a fierce look, he raised his small hand behind Mo Zuiqiu's back, he wanted to teach this ignorant guy a lesson, he endured it, but he didn't make a move after all, he said angrily: "I'll help you fight the injustice, you still want to To kill me?"

Mo Ciqiu didn't realize that he had turned around in front of the life-and-death test just now, took a deep breath, and finally dispelled his anger, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Han, there are many things that you understand. Besides, I robbed people and property, and hurt my fellow disciples." Innocent people lost their lives, ten thousand deaths will not atone for their sins, and they should be expelled from the sect."

"How do you know I don't understand!"

The young man stared at his back in dissatisfaction, and sneered: "Mo Zuiqiu, is it worth it? You do all this for your master, but he doesn't even know what you think about him."

So what is it worth?So what if it's not worth it?Ever since the moment he fell in love with someone he couldn't love, Mo Zuiqiu had thought about these meaningless things.He reined in his horse, turned his head, and said with a light smile, "Xiao Han, I didn't like him just to let him know."

The young man seemed a little taken aback, his black eyes reflected the sporadic starlight falling from the clouds, strangely bright, staring at Mo Qunqiu. "Then even if he never knows, are you willing?"

A touch of helplessness and bitterness flitted across Mo Zuiqiu's face, and he sighed sadly: "I would rather Master not know my dirty thoughts for the rest of his life, otherwise, how could I have the face to appear in front of him."

The young man was still looking up at him, his dark eyes became complicated, and he smiled suddenly: "Zi Qiu, don't be afraid, whoever dares to call you dirty, I will be the first to spare him!"

Even though Mo Zuiqiu was full of melancholy, seeing this young man whom he had known for a long time protected him so much, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and said: "Xiao Han, thank you."

"Thank you! You have helped me, and you are my friend. Of course I will support you, and I will not let you be bullied." His face was full of tiredness.

Mo Zuiqiu remembered that the young man's injuries hadn't healed, and he had to push on the road in the middle of the night. He was afraid that his physical strength would be exhausted, so he wanted to find a shelter from the wind nearby to rest, and wait until dawn before leaving.

But the boy said nonchalantly: "You just go on your way, don't worry about me."

"I'm afraid that if you don't get enough rest, your injury will get worse."

Mo Zuiqiu was worried, but the young man grinned instead: "Ziqiu, you are becoming a mother again. I know my hurts well, so I tell you to go as soon as I tell you. If you hang around, be careful not to be rushed to the end of the mountain by the people worshiping the gods." Jian Xiaozhu, your master is in danger."

His last words were very useful, Mo Zuiqiu nodded, without any further delay, he whipped his horse and galloped forward.

While walking quickly, the boy's two small hands were originally holding onto the back of the saddle, but now they stretched out to wrap around Mo Zuiqiu's waist, and he leaned against Mo Zuiqiu's back as if he was feeling unbearable and sleepy.

Mo Zuiqiu thought that the young man had fallen asleep, so he quietly slowed down the speed of the horse, so as not to be too bumpy, but he heard the young man behind him speak with a faint smile: "Zuiqiu, you are afraid that the horse is running too fast. Make me sleepless? Oh, do you like me?"

This kid was injured, why is he still in such good spirits... Mo Zuiqiu gave a dry cough and said, "Xiaohan, don't talk too much, go to sleep."

The boy smiled, but he didn't make any more noise.

Not long after, Mo Zuiqiu heard a slight snort from behind besides the monotonous sound of horseshoes.The boy's breath sprayed onto Mo Zuiqiu's back through Mo Zuiqiu's clothes, making it itchy.

Mo Zuiqiu was afraid that the young man would fall off the horse, so he hooked the young man with his backhand and brought the young man in front of him.His movements were extremely gentle, but the young man immediately woke up from his sleep, his eyes rolled slightly, and then closed again, leaning on Mo Zuiqiu's chest peacefully, and continued to dream about Duke Zhou.

His delicate little face was soaked in the scattered starlight, the soft halo on the cage was like white porcelain, and the eyelashes cast two shadows on the side of the nose, trembling with the gentle breathing... There was no trace of waking up. Hui, shrewd, quick-tempered, and extremely well-behaved.

An unconscious smile slowly spread from the corner of Mo Zuiqiu's mouth. He lovingly pulled the cloak around the young man, wrapped it around the young man, and rushed forward into the dense night with his belly full.
