The younger brother is a biting leprechaun

"He certainly won't do anything good by taking his father away, but now that he's gone, we don't even know where he went!" Qing Zeng told him to hide away, because he was worried that Fu Dansheng would not catch Tao Ye and would use Tao Ran as a threat. Now that Tao Ye is in Fu Dansheng's hands, naturally there is no need to run away.Back at Tao Mansion, the first thing Tao Ran did was to find Chongming Xuqing and the others.It's not that he never thought of sending out Tao's servants, but except for Chong Ming, Xu Qing and Wen Jifeng in Tao's mansion, everyone else is ordinary people, even if they find traces, they may not be able to send the letter back alive.

He originally wanted to ask the three of them if there was any way to find Fu Dansheng and Tao Ye.Seeing that the three of them were all internally injured and out of spirits, Tao Ye swallowed his words back.Even if they find it, so what, the three of them seem to have no power to fight anymore, and if they find it, they are nothing more than a mantis' arms.But if he asked Xuanchongguan if he could send someone to help them, Tao Ran felt that he was not tactful enough.

Xu Qing was peeling an apple with a dagger in his hand, and the long rind was peeled into a pleasing strip: "We sent a letter back yesterday, but we just need to wait for Guanzhong to receive the letter, and then send someone over, sir It will take two or three days, Master Tao can't wait so long." After hearing Xu Qing's words, Tao Ran's heart fell to the bottom instantly.

Xu Qing took a piece of apple and handed it to Wen Jifeng, but before the younger brother could reach out, Chongming cut it off.Chong Ming chewed the apple, and proudly raised his eyebrows at Xu Qing, Xu Qing sneered, took a bite of the apple and handed it to Wen Jifeng.Wen Jifeng took the apples without changing his face. They didn't eat anything before going to the restaurant, and now they are all very hungry, and it's not easy to urge Tao Ran to ask someone to cook.

"Aren't you worried at all now?" Seeing the leisurely appearance of the three of them, Tao Ran still couldn't hold back the thoughts he had been holding back all this time.

Xu Qing raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Junior Brother Tao, please be safe and don't be impatient, we are trying to figure out a way. Why, we had a battle with that snake demon, and today we ate some noodles that we made, now Can't you even eat an apple?"

Tao Ran was stunned when he heard the words, although he was busy receiving guests at Zhang Luo's birthday banquet today, he didn't stop eating, and because he was busy for a while, although he told the servants not to disturb, he forgot to prepare meals for them.

"I'm not thinking carefully." After speaking, Tao Ran summoned the servants to prepare a late lunch for Xu Qing and the others.

Chong Ming was very satisfied with Tao Ran's actions, and he comforted him: "Martial nephew Tao, don't worry too much. Since my senior brother sent Xu Qing and the others over, he must have made some preparations." It's a serious matter, but it won't be a child's play. Seeing his relaxed appearance now, he should have left something behind.

Hearing this, Tao Ran's eyes lit up, and he stared at Xu Qing expectantly. Xu Qing's scalp was numb from his gaze, and he said, "I can't say what preparation it is, but the master gave us something before coming out."

Chongming was surprised and said: "Senior brother actually gave you something else besides Duan Hongchen?" He shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough, cheap junior is not as good as direct disciple."

Xu Qing: "..."

Wen Jifeng took out the three-ring moon set from his bosom: "Brother is referring to this?" Thinking of Chong Yangzi's hesitant appearance before handing over the three-ring moon set to them, Wen Jifeng also faintly noticed something unusual.

Xu Qing nodded, in fact, after he got the three-ring moon set, he has been thinking about what secrets are hidden in this pair of yin-yang rings, but he can't figure it out.He put the three-ring set of moons on the table, and pushed towards Chongming: "My eyesight is not as good as that of my uncle, I wonder if my uncle can see something?"

Chong Ming frowned and put the three-ring moon ring on his hand, and then rotated it twice on his index finger.Tao Ran said worriedly: "Prince Daoist, please be more careful. If it is broken, it may not be of any original use."

Chong Ming paused when he heard this, his eyes became strange.Xu Qing rubbed his chin: "Smash it..."

The two looked at each other, and then Chong Ming decisively smashed the three-ring moon set to the ground.Amidst Tao Ran's exclamation, the shattered white jade ring shards scattered everywhere, and a light-colored brilliance escaped from it, and then gathered in one place, creating an illusion.

Or it should be said that a memory is hallucinated.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Fu Dansheng did not escape to any unexpected place, but returned to Fu's residence.

The traces of the fight last night were still there in the courtyard, and the courtyard, which had been deserted but elegant, was in a mess.Fu Dansheng held Tao Ye who was still in a coma in his arms, Tao Ye's face was slightly pale, but fortunately his breath was very steady and long.Fu Dansheng raised his hand to summon, the door opened automatically, and the couch in the room was summoned to the corridor.Fu Dansheng carefully put down Tao Ye, his movements were gentle and completely different from the cold expression on his face.

He pulled off the thin quilt on the couch and covered Tao Ye.Although he himself didn't need a quilt to keep out the cold, but when they first met, Tao Ye would occasionally stay overnight in Fu's residence, so he always prepared these things for Tao Ye.For so many years, the things prepared by Fu's residence have not changed at all, as if they are always waiting for Tao Ye to come over.It's just that since Tao Ye took over the Tao family, he never stayed here again.

Thin fingertips brushed against Tao Ye's pale face, and one hand weakly grasped his wrist.Tao Ye was looking at him with his eyes open, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand.

Fu Dansheng's expression remained unchanged, his fingers caressed Tao Ye's chin.Tao Ye's half-length beard fell down one after another, and then revealed a face that seemed not as good as the weak crown.Tao Ye had never seen Fu Dansheng showing such an expression.Fu Dansheng stroked Tao Ye's face with one hand, his eyes revealed nostalgia and intense sadness. At that moment, Tao Ye had an illusion that Fu Dansheng seemed to be looking at another person through this face.

Tao Ye once said with a smile that in his previous life, he might have been a powerful ascetic, and he provoked the black snake in his dream by mistake.Unfortunately, he didn't guess right.The edification of the previous life, or should be said the edification of a few lifetimes ago, is not a Taoist, but an ordinary scholar.

At that time he was not called Tao Ye, but Fu Qichen.Looking forward to Huaiyi, come to offer Qichen.

The snow melts, the flowers bloom, and the spring is warm.A boy in thin clothes was walking in the mountains with a medicine basket half the height of a person on his back.The young man was dressed in simple and shabby clothes, but he was very neat and tidy. There was a slight smile on his thin face. Although he was immature, his face was almost the same as Tao Ye's.

The mountain road was slippery, and the boy accidentally fell down, but thanks to the soft soil, there were no injuries on his body.The boy saw that his clothes were splashed with mud, and the smile on his face became a little distressed.He supported the green moss on the ground, and when he got up with his strength, his eyes were attracted by a bush.There was still dew on the blades of grass, and there was a light cracking sound from within.The boy walked over curiously to have a look.

In the soft grass, an eggshell the size of a fist shattered a hole, and a small pitch-black snake struggled to crawl out of the hole.The little snake was no more than the length of a palm, lying limply in the grass, its body was wet with clear liquid.The boy curiously stretched out his hand to poke the little snake, which was no thicker than his little finger. Before the little snake's eyes opened, its soft body wrapped itself around the boy's fingertips.

The young man laughed out loud, thought for a while, took off his medicine basket, and put the little snake and his eggshell into his own medicine basket.There were a lot of herbs in the basket, and the little snake first twisted its body in the medicine basket, and then stopped moving.The young man picked up the medicine basket and walked down the mountain briskly.

Others called this child Qichen. His father's surname was Fu, and he was the only doctor in the village.His father's health was not very good recently, after Fu Qichen gave the herbal medicine to his father, he hid the little snake in his sleeve.When he returned to the room and wanted to take out the little snake, he found that the little snake opened its eyes at some point, looking at him with tiny red eyes and spitting thin letters.The black snake body was wrapped around Fu Qichen's wrist, like a beautiful black jade bracelet.

Fu Qichen was still a child at heart, so he poked the little snake. The little snake hid left and right for a while, and then bit his finger like venting its anger.But the newborn snake didn't even leave a tooth mark on Fu Qichen's hands.Fu Qichen stroked it and said, "You probably don't have a name yet. I'll carry you down from the mountain, so you'll be called Dansheng!"

The little snake bent its head, as if it understood what he said, but it seemed that it didn't understand anything.

"Tao Ran said, is it true?" Tao Ye still couldn't exert his strength, the short seven words ended weakly, but his eyes looked directly at Fu Dansheng.Fu Dansheng's eyes sank slightly, but he didn't answer.Just reached out and held him back.

Tao Ye was powerless to resist, and didn't want to struggle. His eyes, which were originally hopeful, gradually turned gray and frustrated: "So you really killed my father." A bleak smile.With a sharp pain in his chest, Tao Ye coughed violently. He covered his lips in pain, and coughed up a streak of blood.

"I regard you as the only confidant in my life. Even if I can't understand some of the decisions you make, I have never doubted them. I never thought that the friendship I cherished for more than [-] years now seems to be the same until death. A joke." Taking a look at the bloodstains on his palm, Tao Ye's voice was hoarse and rough, he closed his eyes, suppressing a choked sob in his throat, in order not to look so embarrassed.

But Fu Dansheng lifted the back of his head, lowered his head and pressed his lips hard.Tao Ye opened his eyes in shock, but before he could react, his teeth were pried open.Lips and teeth were close together, and the cool liquid was poured down his throat.In a bloody kiss, Fu Dansheng pressed the tip of his tongue against the base of his tongue, forcing him to swallow all the blood.Tao Ye's breathing was a little short, and Fu Dansheng's body was icy cold from beginning to end, making one wonder if his heart was also so thoroughly cold.

The temperature on Tao Ye's body made him nostalgic for a long time.Fu Dansheng reluctantly let go of his lips, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Ah Ye, I won't let you die."
