drunk doctor

Five years later

His name is Su Ye. Five years ago, he and Ye Lin and his son fled into this seldom swamp forest to escape from Gong Shujing's pursuit. They met an expert who lived here in seclusion. Mr. Qi who mysteriously disappeared after the Qing Dynasty, met by chance, and Su Ye became Mr. Qi's apprentice, and got his inheritance.

Now, Su Ye has lived in this swamp forest for five years, and the outside world has completely changed. The emperor of Chuqing Kingdom has become Gong Shujing, and that guy Ye Lin actually started a bank with Ye Huang to do business.It seemed that he was the only one who hadn't changed at all. He was still the same Su Ye back then, but there was something different. The longer he stayed in the swamp forest, the more he was afraid of contacting the outside world. Fortunately, he was accompanied by a master. It won't be too lonely.

His master's surname is Qi, and people like Ye Huang would call him "Old Qi" respectfully, but strictly speaking, his master is a somewhat stubborn old man, over 100 years old, totally disobedient, and must come every day The vegetable field in the courtyard was turned over, weeded, and the flower beds were pruned.

Su Ye was afraid that the old master would flash his waist or something, so he tried to persuade him a few times; he is not just a showman, he can do those jobs well, and he just hopes that the master can rest more, but the master stubbornly thinks that it is close to nature, so he doesn't allow it. He intervenes.

What's even more outrageous is that Master likes to get close to some strange animals and even feed them.Those animals are also inexplicable, the entire swamp forest is so big, why they always like to run into Master's garden, especially the fiery red fox, which is a regular household, Su Ye is not surprised, but sometimes some very aggressive ones The ferocious beast also came to look for his master to 'act like a baby', and could crush his master with a single pounce, which made Su Ye a little terrified.

Although Master made Su Ye a little incomprehensible in many ways, Master was really kind to him, as if he loved him as his grandson. In Su Ye's life, apart from Ye Lin being his most important friend, now There is one more master, and this master has a bit of immortality.

However, the master seemed to have a pain in his heart that Su Ye didn't understand. Even though the master never said it, Su Ye vaguely understood that the master was always thinking about a person, a person named Han Shengjun.

Su Ye didn't understand what kind of relationship it was, but he understood how much Master cared about that person, the person who was one step ahead of his Master and lay in the tomb in the courtyard.Every night in the middle of the night, the master would always sit alone in the courtyard, staring at the tomb in a daze, and occasionally talking to himself in front of the tomb, his eyes revealing his longing for that person...

On that day, the master was suddenly in a good mood to tell him a story. It was a story about the family's rebellious boy and the big devil.In the story, Xiao Qi, who was originally a prominent family in the capital and enjoyed endless prosperity, has a good mind, is bold enough, and is also very talented. Jealous; Xiaoqi didn't like those intrigues and conspiracies, so he later transferred the business to his elder brothers, and went to plant flowers and grass by himself, and even adopted stray animals everywhere. Think he's rebellious, rebellious, and an undisciplined fool...

Su Ye listened and said dissatisfiedly, "This man just doesn't want to have a deadlock with his brother, doesn't he?"

His master smiled and continued the story: "Later, in order to calm Xiao Qi's heart, the family members found him a marriage. It's just his bad luck that he ran away, he ran into bandits who robbed him not far from home."

Su Ye was amused by his master's tone, and said, "I won't be ransacked."

"Who asked him to dress up in a rich and noble appearance, and pass by all the way. The barren mountains and wild mountains are just for people to rob. Fortunately, after the bandits robbed Xiaoqi's money and clothes, they didn't make things difficult for him. Throwing a stinky gown to him, telling Xiao Qi not to follow the example of a hero, and go home quickly. But Xiao Qi didn't go back, and walked a few miles unkempt in that thin little gown, and was so hungry that he went home. Chest to back, it happened that someone was burning rabbit meat in the field, Xiao Qi didn't even think about it at the time, so he ran over, and then he met that person..."

"Is that the big devil?" Su Ye asked curiously.

The master seemed to be recalling something funny, nodded and said: "Yeah, that man is a devil, scoundrel, rascal. Anyway, any bad words can be used for that guy. Just because of that roast rabbit meat Well, the devil’s bullying wasn’t enough, he even tied him to a tree, if Xiao Qi hadn’t relied on his friends in the woods to help him, maybe he would have become a mummy hanging on a tree.”

"and after?"

"Later, later on, the devil had a bit of a conscience. He ran back and wanted to untie Xiaoqi's rope, but found that Xiaoqi was standing in front of him, enjoying himself with the tiger. Hehe, the expression on that devil's face was so cute Wonderful..."

Su Ye imagined it, and couldn't help feeling a little chilled. Teasing a tiger is like teasing a cat. If he is that daring devil, seeing it for the first time will definitely be exciting.

"...Later, Xiao Qi found out that the devil himself had been hungry for several days, and the devil was still seriously injured at the time, so in order to repay the delicious rabbit meal, Xiao Qi didn't care too much, and decided To help the monster heal, fortunately they were in the woods at the time, and there were many Xiaoqi's animal friends there, so Xiaoqi quickly found healing herbs and some wild fruits to give them a full meal. But the devil is the devil, not only did he not appreciate Xiao Qi, but he continued to bully others as a matter of course." When the master said this, he was filled with righteous indignation.

Su Ye nodded and agreed: "This demon is indeed a little too much, at least he healed his injury, Xiao Qi was not injured by the demon, right?"

The old master blushed slightly, and said: "Well, that's not the case. The devil was still injured at the time, so he just bullied him a few times because of his size. But later, they met a few groups The killer with an unknown path, Xiaoqi finally figured out that the devil was being chased and killed, so Xiaoqi borrowed the help of his animal friends to help the devil escape from being chased and killed time and time again, but he didn't expect to be killed by himself. Because of this, his fame spread in the rivers and lakes, and the more he crosses the gods, the more he will be demonized." There was a bit of bitterness in the master's words.

"Why was that demon hunted down?"

"Because he is the devil, the most famous big devil in Chuqing Kingdom."

"Is that devil really bad?" Su Ye asked in confusion.

"I don't know, maybe, but the devil that Xiaoqi knows is not that bad, at least he won't kill innocent people casually in front of Xiaoqi, and Xiaoqi's animal friends will not reject that devil , especially later, when Xiao Qi adopted a little fox, Nian Motou was more enthusiastic than Nian Xiao Qi."

"Uh...why?" For some reason, Su Ye suddenly thought of the fire fox that often came to his master.

"Because the devil cooks good food, he not only subdued the animal friends around Xiao Qi, but also wiped away his resentment towards the devil. He rescued them from adversity several times, and they gradually became familiar with each other. Xiaoqi's attitude also began to change slowly. They became friends who talked about everything. Xiaoqi even regarded the devil as a confidant. The reasons are all, and Xiao Qi also told the devil that he was regarded as a heretic by his family. But the devil's mind is hard to guess, and Xiao Qi can't ask the devil from the devil to find out the origin of the devil."

"Isn't this a bit dangerous, what if the devil has a wrong mind about him?" Su Ye couldn't help but worry about Xiao Qi in the story.

"Thinking... Hehe, Xiao Qi is stupid, but he was not allowed to think about it at that time. He and the devil were hunted all the way back to the devil's house. At that time, the devil's house was Chuqing Kingdom The quite famous Demon Cult is feared by everyone."

After sending the devil back home, Xiao Qi wanted to leave, but the devil coaxed and lied to him, insisting on letting Xiao Qi stay, and his attitude changed so much that Xiao Qi almost thought that the devil was out of his mind up.However, the devil has long been familiar with Xiao Qi's temperament and temper. A few dishes and a few words of brotherly brotherhood almost made Xiao Qi tearfully recognize the devil as his brother; the devil even taught him Although Xiaoqi is old, he can still learn some martial arts if he wants to. In the end, Xiaoqi failed to find the devil's Wuzhishan.

Soon the devil became the head of the family, and started his family reorganization and expansion plan. Xiaoqi brought his animal friends to help the devil, and his name was known and feared by most people in the world.All the subordinates around the devil are also very kind to Xiao Qi.But Xiao Qi knew in his heart that only the devil is the one who understands him best, and the devil treats him well and sincerely. For this sincere trust and friendship, he is willing to fight the world for the devil and let the devil His family business flourished in the rivers and lakes.

Just when the devil's family business was at its peak, a family letter was delivered to Xiaoqi.Xiao Qi knew that he had to go back. He was living a prosperous life with the devil, but his family was in a mess. His two brothers were fighting for property; She actually gave birth to a daughter for him, even though she drank a lot on the night of her wedding and didn't remember anything.However, the daughter-in-law immediately divorced him and remarried not long after he ran away from home. Ten months later, she brought a daughter, who was said to be the child left in the bridal chamber that night, because she was going to live a new life now and could not raise more. This daughter was handed over to Xiaoqi's family.Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi's reputation is so good that many people think of his daughter. His one-year-old daughter was kidnapped by a group of gangsters. Xiao Qi has not tasted the joy of being a father yet. , was woken up by a blow to the head, and hurriedly dragged the family letter to find the devil, he had to go back.

And it was originally a very simple misunderstanding, but at the wrong time, at the wrong place, a sentence that lied to others, the devil said it, and Xiao Qi happened to hear it, so the misunderstanding became.

The devil said: "I just fell in love with him!"

Xiao Qi's heart broke out, his face burned like a red apple, he originally wanted to discuss with the devil, but he hid aside and listened to someone's corner.

"So hard to please him, is it because you want to occupy his trust? Are you looking for him, or his ability? Do you know how things about you are being spread in the world now? They say that you, the cold devil, have tricked you That right-hand assistant is probably a 'beauty trick' who sacrificed his appearance, but your right-hand assistant is also a pure beauty."

The devil laughed loudly: "Haha, you are the only one who knows me."

Xiao Qi left without saying goodbye, and he didn't even know how to get back to the family.After understanding the situation, bringing his daughter back went smoothly, but he is not welcome at home anymore.

The two elder brothers said earnestly: "Look, what have you brought to the family? A group of reckless people from the Jianghu. The family is a well-behaved businessman. They have never dealt with those people from the Jianghu. If you want your daughter Stay away from the rivers and lakes, we will raise you well, but since you have been walking outside, don't come back.

Xiao Qi left home again, wandering around aimlessly, when he was found by the devil. At this time, the devil's eyes were ferocious, his hair was disheveled, and there were bloodshot eyes in his eyes. Seeing Xiaoqi with the expression of eating, without saying a word, he bullied him viciously, and then packed it up and carried it home.

... Their misunderstanding has not yet been resolved, but the enemy of the devil has begun to appear. Who makes the devil's family business flourish, and there are many people who are jealous and hostile.The biggest business of the devil's family is poison and spells. As a result, all the old line of business started to greet the devil. One time was the most dangerous, and the devil almost died on the spot. Help, maybe the devil is gone from now on.

After this incident, the devil knew that there was internal fighting in his family, so he vigorously began to rectify the family atmosphere.

After this incident, Xiao Qi knew that he had fallen on the devil and lost his heart.Someone finally stood up and euphemistically told Xiao Qi on behalf of the devil that the devil's family business was considered a success, but he also became redundant.

Xiao Qi has always been straightforward, since the devil is only using him, there is no need for him to pester the devil brazenly all the time, so Xiao Qi came again and left without saying goodbye, leaving absolutely cleanly without leaving any traces.

Because of the devil, he had no choice but to continue wandering in the rivers and lakes.

And because of the devil, his world is not easy to walk, he knows few friends, but has a lot of enemies.

In the later time, he even lost his little fox. After several twists and turns, Xiao Qi came to a deserted forest to live in seclusion, but somewhere in his heart, he would unconsciously think about the safety of the devil.

Xiao Qi has not lived here for a long time, the big devil is holding his little fox, smiling like a foolish face, just like that, he appears in front of him without warning, dressed in tattered clothes, unkempt and embarrassed, even his little fox They all suffered a lot.

He thought he was hallucinating.

The devil directly stepped forward to hug Xiaoqi, and rubbed all the mud on him, as if he had been greatly wronged, and said, "I've been looking for you for two full years, do you know what it's like?"

Later, he found out that the devil was looking for him through his little fox, and he was completely stunned. Knowing all too well how difficult that is...

So the devil lived there as a matter of course, took his bed as a matter of course, and took him as a matter of course...

Although their lives were very ordinary, they were very happy. He even thought that he could live here with the devil until his old age, but the devil died in the fifth winter when the devil came to the swamp forest.

The devil is cursed by someone, and he is in his own old profession, so there is no way to save him.Xiao Qi wanted to scold, but he didn't know what to scold the devil. He wanted to cry, but he didn't want to be seen by the devil. He didn't even dare to sleep, for fear that the devil would disappear while he was asleep.

Before he died, the devil was still joking, "Oh, you have done too many bad things, and you will be punished. Ah Jun, live well, I will definitely not reincarnate first, and I will definitely wait for you at Naihe Bridge."

When the master said this, he paused for a long time. Su Ye didn't bother the master. He felt that although the devil's words seemed to be cursing people, they still seemed to be extremely persistent and unwilling, and even more reluctant.

The devil finally failed to survive the coming spring, and his heart seemed to stay in that winter.That year, he stepped out of the swamp forest again and stepped into the rivers and lakes he hadn't seen for a long time. He wanted to take revenge but found that the person who cast the curse had already died under a certain conspiracy. The place.

Then these years, he lived in a solitary grave. In his later years, someone accidentally entered this swamp forest, and he accepted an apprentice because of this. Now...

Master finally said that Xiao Qi in the story seems to have waited until the devil came to pick him up...

Water overflowed from Su Ye's eyes. He would always remember that Master closed his eyes while looking at the tombstone in the courtyard, and never woke up again.Su Ye knelt in front of his master, tears streaming down his face, his voice choked up, his master... was gone.

According to Master's last wish, Su Ye buried Master together in a tomb that already had an owner in the courtyard.

Every plant and tree here is very familiar to Su Ye. At this moment, he is staring at the inscription in front of the tomb in a daze, recalling the past five years, Master's care and love for him, his panic when Master just left; A pain in the bottom of my heart.Even though more than a month has passed, Su Ye still hasn't recovered from the grief of Master's departure.

The unfinished words on the tombstone were later filled in by the master himself. Mr. Han Sheng, Su Ye later found out that the person that the master had always cared about was lying here all the time.Su Ye even guessed that maybe the name of the devil in Master's story was also Mr. Han Sheng.But at this time, his master's name was added on the tombstone: Qi Jun!

The inscription on the tombstone was written by Ye Huang with his deep fingers. In addition to their names, there are two epitaphs, one for Mr. Han Sheng and one for his master Qi Jun. The two poems are based on the Written from a previous letter.

Next to Mr. Han Sheng is the question:

It is helpless to be born at the wrong time,

This dynasty meets the gift of heaven,

Far away from the humble family to find the trace of the king,

But when the bridgehead is waiting for Jun.

Next to Master Qi Jun is:

All beings are awake and I am alone drunk,

It's hard to find a confidant, and fate vows to follow,

This heart is unforgettable only to be apart,

Praying for a safe encounter with the deceased.

At this moment, Su Ye understood that these two poems were about the life of the master and that person, and also about the relationship between them.

The door of the wooden house was opened with a "creak", which also interrupted Su Ye's thoughts.

Su Ye looked up and saw a young man dressed in white walking slowly. On his delicate face, he could occasionally see a pair of dimples. It was Qi Lie, who was always accompanied by a group of inexplicable animals.Five years ago, Su Ye and Qi Lie met once in the capital. Unexpectedly, this man has grown up, but he still has that baby face, and he is the great-grandson of his master.

Su Ye has met many people in the swamp forest. Ye Lin and Ye Huang have been here many times. There is also a young man with a refined temperament. According to Ye Lin, that person is a doctor of the holy medical school, and his medical skills are very good. For a period of time, Mr. Shang Fang has been helping with the treatment. Su Ye is very grateful to Mr. Shang Fang in his heart.

And Qi Tian, ​​the younger generation of the master's family, and Qi Xin, the great-granddaughter, all came to visit their grandfather.However, during these five years, even when Master was dying, Su Ye never saw Qi Lie, who was said to be Master's great-grandson, stepping into the swamp forest.

Counting it, Qi Lie arrived in the swamp forest only two days ago, and he was accompanied by the elegant and elegant doctor of the holy medical school, Mr. Shangfang.

Qi Lie came over, didn't speak to Su Ye, just stared at the tombstone in a daze.Su Ye glanced at it lightly, then left the other party alone to continue standing in front of the tomb in a daze, and turned to leave by himself. He and Qi Lie were not yet familiar.

Su Ye walked around to the back of the wooden house, and saw Mr. Shang Fang and Ye Huang talking, "...I'll leave the rest to you."

"What about you?" Ye Huang's icy face that has never changed for thousands of years actually had a hint of thought.

"The matter of Mr. Qi... Lie'er feels sad, I plan to take him to Bai Xia's place to relax..."

"It's his fate that we can't meet each other, it's not your fault." Ye Huang said again, Su Ye couldn't understand what he heard.

But Su Ye didn't listen to the rest, he packed his things alone in the room, this time Ye Lin forcefully asked him to leave the swamp forest and live with them outside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back here next time.

In the evening, everyone sat around a table to eat, and Su Ye ate carefully, because he would leave here soon, so he cherished this quiet place.

Qi Lie next to him looked at him and said with a smile, "Su Ye, I heard from Ye Lin that you agreed to go out with him."

Su Ye nodded, "Yeah." I was a little surprised, this Qi Lie always seemed to be the first to find out the topic.

Ye Lin raised his eyes and said, "I managed to convince you."

Qi Lie smiled gratifiedly, nodded and said, "I knew you could do it." Two shallow dimples popped out, very beautiful.

At this time, a black cat with a letter on its head ran in, wrapped itself around Qi Lie's feet, meowed twice, and casually jumped onto Qi Lie's lap, nestled and snorted, Qi Lie took something Feed the black cat.

Mr. Shang Fang next to him habitually added a piece of dried meat to Qi Lie, while talking with Ye Huang, Qi Lie picked up the dried meat and ate it, and then said to Su Ye: "Actually, it's good to go outside for a walk. Remember to come to Shengyimen with Ye Lin to find me if you have time, and I will show you around too."

"Okay, I'll go if I have the chance." Su Ye felt that he probably had a certain understanding of Qi Lie's temperament. This person treats people very sincerely, and maybe besides Ye Lin, he will have another friend.

Immediately afterwards, two foxes, one white and one red, also rushed into the wooden house, entangled Qi Lie's attention, Qi Lie pulled him and Ye Lin, and took his animals for a walk in the yard...

After getting along for many days, Su Ye slowly observed that the Confucianism in Qi Lie's body followed that Mr. Shang Fang, who was gentle and courteous, and showed a sense of elegance in his gestures. The relationship between Qi Lie and Mr. Shang Fang seemed to be very good. But I can't tell what the relationship between the two of them is. Mr. Shangfang takes good care of Qi Lie, but Qi Lie seems to take care of Mr. Shangfang even more. It wasn't until Su Ye curiously asked Ye Lin that they were lovers.

Moreover, Qi Lie has a very good temper, much more cheerful than him and Ye Lin, especially his sincere smile to everyone, which can easily infect others, even a quiet person like Ye Lin is also attracted by him He became much more talkative, and Su Ye's mood, which was unable to recover from the sadness, gradually improved.

Mr. Shangfang and Ye Huang came out together, and Mr. Shangfang said to Qi Lie who was holding the white fox in the distance and talking: "Lie'er, let's go back tomorrow."

Qi Lie turned his head, took a look, and replied, "Okay."

Before leaving, Qi Lie came to the tomb with a large pile of gold paper money, sat down slowly, then arranged the paper money, put the ingots folded by himself on top of the paper money, wiped the fire, and said nothing explain.

In the courtyard, apart from the rustling of the leaves being swept by the breeze, there was only the occasional chirping of birds. Everything was so quiet. Su Ye also wanted to offer incense to Master before he left, so he walked over.

A drop of water fell and dripped into the dry soil in front of the tomb, leaving a little polish. Su Ye couldn't help being stunned, and looked up at Qi Lie who was beside him. Those were tears just now...

Qi Lie looked at the tombstone, and said in a low voice, "It is said that 'filial piety comes first'. Is it unfilial for me to be a great-grandson like this?"

Su Ye couldn't answer, he thought that Qi Lie might be more sad than he imagined.

Mr. Shang Fang came behind him and patted Su Ye on the shoulder. When Su Ye turned around, he saw Mr. Shang Fang nodding towards him. Su Ye got up and left with interest, leaving Mr. Shang Fang to sit beside Qi Lie, talking lightly .
