On this day, Feng Shu brought the meal to Liyang Hall as usual.Xiayun was busy reviewing the official documents handed in by the new judge, and only glanced up at him, motioning him to back down.

However, just at this glance, Xiayun found something was wrong.

"Feng Shu, what happened to your face?"

The reason why Xia Yun asked this question was because Feng Shu somehow put on a mask on his face today, covering his own face.

"Thanks to the care of the Palace Master, Feng Shu is fine."

Feng Shu's eyebrows and eyes were bent, and his tone was not the same as usual - but in view of the experience that he accidentally broke three ribs during martial arts training last time, and ran to deliver food without saying a word, and finally passed out here, Xiayun thinks It's better to be cautious.

"What's the point of wearing a mask? Honestly, did you get hurt, or did you feel unwell?"

Feng Shu blinked, and said: "Feng Shu is not ill, but feels that he frequents the palace lord's residence, so it's time to keep a low profile."

"Wouldn't it be more conspicuous for you to hide your face?"

Xiayun paused, frowned and said, "Take off the mask and let me see."

Feng Shu hesitated for a moment, then slowly took off the mask.He glanced at Xia Yun, quickly lowered his head, and said: "Palace Master, if nothing happens today, Feng Shu will leave first."

"Ah."

Seeing that his face was normal and his complexion normal, Xiayun didn't say anything, and let him go.

However, when Feng Shu delivered the meal the next day, it was still covered.Only this time, he didn't wear a mask, but covered the lower half of his face with a strip of cloth.

"What's the matter with you?"

Xia Yun felt that Feng Shu did that intentionally, but she didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"Thank you, Palace Master, for your concern. Feng Shu accidentally hurt his face yesterday, and he was afraid that it would disturb the Palace Master's eyes, so he put on a cloth strip."

"Am I that delicate?"

Xiayun pressed the side of her forehead, only feeling a little headache.

These days, he often fell into a coma due to the pain, and his waking time was getting shorter and shorter.

Even though the newly appointed second judge of Huaxue had already shared a lot of official duties, the military envoy had resigned one after another, and many planned tasks were hoarded and put on hold.

Now that Sulan has not recovered his stability, if he leaves here, will he--

"Palace Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Feeling the pain coming from her heart, Xiayun closed her eyes and said, "It's okay. Come here and let me see where the injury is."

Feng Shu bowed to Xia Yun, and said: "It's just a minor injury, so I don't need to worry about it. Palace Master, Feng Shu retreats first—"

"come over."

Xia Yun felt a burst of heat all over her body, but she didn't want to talk nonsense with Feng Shu.Seeing this, Feng Shu hesitated for a while, then obediently walked to Xia Yun's side and knelt down, and untied the cloth covering his face.

After the cloth strip was removed, Xia Yun saw a large area of ​​burns on Feng Shu's right cheek, and the skin above was scalded to blisters, but there was no trace of treatment.

He had doubts in his heart, and while he was performing treatment, he casually asked: "Feng Shu, how many years have you been in the palace?"

Feng Shu said: "It has been three years since I returned to Palace Master."

"Three years...then you are fourteen this year?"

"Exactly."

"Since you have a talent for making tools, haven't you considered making a living from it?"

"I have considered it, but staying in this palace to serve, life is quite good."

When Feng Shu said this, a smile overflowed from the corner of Feng Shu's mouth, and his eyes became a little gentle.

But immediately, as if he realized something, he quickly suppressed his smile, and quietly glanced at Xiayun.

His change was too obvious, so Xiayun naturally noticed it.There was a trace of unhappiness in his heart, but he didn't attack it, he just said lightly:

"Is life in this palace really that good?"

"Naturally. Not to mention others, the Palace Master treats Fengshu very well."

is it?

Xiayun laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Did you have any contact with the new civil judge these days?"

Feng Shu said: "When I was walking in the palace, I met two adults."

He paused, and said: "Palace Master, the truth about the murder in the past, is it—"

"How did you get this injury?"

Xia Yun didn't wait for Feng Shu to finish speaking, and suddenly asked the next question.They are very close now, Xia Yun can even clearly see her own reflection in Feng Shu's pupils.

"I……"

After Feng Shu was interrupted, he paused unnaturally, and said, "I was hurt while cooking. When I was stewing mutton soup last night, the pot suddenly exploded, and that's why I got burned."

Xia Yun said "Oh", and her eyes swept over Feng Shu's white and smooth hands.He looked into Feng Shu's eyes and said, "Since it was injured last night, why haven't you taken any medicine yet?"

"It's just a small injury, so there's no need to waste medicine powder."

Feng Shu lowered his eyes, got up and took a few steps back, bowed and said: "Thank you, Palace Master for healing, Feng Shu is very grateful. Since Palace Master has finished his meal, Feng Shu will take his leave first."

He put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table, then Zhao Xiayun nodded slightly, and retreated towards the entrance of the hall.

"Hold on."

Xia Yun dodged and moved to Feng Shu.Feng Shu was taken aback, one of his hands was unsteady, and seeing the bowls and chopsticks in the tray tipped to one side, it was about to fall to the ground.

"what……"

Feng Shu screamed, but Xia Yun didn't even look at the bowls and chopsticks, she just waved her hand and put them firmly on the table.He looked at the boy in front of him and said softly:

"Feng Shu, do you want to continue lying?"

Hearing this, Feng Shu was shocked and knelt down directly.He lowered his head and said eagerly: "Palace Master, Feng Shu will never dare to deceive you."

Xia Yun said: "I hate people lying the most. You should think carefully before answering."

"I……"

Various emotions flashed in Feng Shu's eyes.He knelt down blankly for a while, then bent down suddenly, and Zhaoxiayun kowtowed three times in a "dong dong dong".

Xiayun didn't expect him to come here, so she couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "What are you doing?"

Feng Shu lowered his head, and said: "Palace Master, Feng Shu knows it's wrong. I made that injury on purpose for the purpose of practicing healing spells. I never thought that I was not good at learning, and that's why I ended up in such embarrassment."

Looking at his swollen forehead, Xiayun couldn't bear it, and said, "Get up and talk."

Feng Shu got up according to his words.He stared at the tip of his shoe, and said: "Feng Shu definitely didn't intend to deceive, but he was afraid that he would be laughed at by the palace lord if he said it, so..."

Xia Yun sighed and said, "Feng Shu, why are you so stupid."

Feng Shu didn't answer.He glanced at the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and said cautiously: "Then, Feng Shu won't disturb the Palace Master's rest, so he will leave first."

"Ah."

Xia Yun walked past Feng Shu and sat down in her original seat.After the person left, he withdrew his eyes, and his eyes became a little sad.

"After all, do you still choose to hide?"

Xia Yun muttered to herself, then leaned against the wall behind her, and quickly closed her eyes.

Time flies like a white horse, and another year has passed in a blink of an eye.

Although Xia Yun has a grudge against Feng Shu because of his appearance, after thinking about it for a while, she still decides to abandon her prejudice and train him as her successor.

Considering her own physical condition, Xia Yun brought Feng Shu to the cave of Wanren Mountain after Su Lan finished her rectification.

For one thing, staying in an inaccessible mountain forest can ease the pain on my body.

Secondly, the location of this cave is hidden, so it is really suitable for people to concentrate on practicing.

Feng Shu was gifted and intelligent, and after being touched by Xia Yun, and combined with the records in the book, his control over spells immediately improved by leaps and bounds.

In the spirit of a craftsman who loves research, he created many different spells successively, and after getting Xia Yun's approval, he happily wrote them down in the paper.

Xia Yun was originally worried that Feng Shu would misunderstand that because of her past experience, she abducted him to the mountain in order to imprison and use him.

Fortunately, Feng Shu didn't seem to have such thoughts at all, instead he was very excited to circle around the mountains, like a bird that has regained its freedom.

With the wind blowing, the days of living in the cave seem to be brighter.

After seeing the crude furnishings in the stone room, Feng Shu went back to Wangyun Palace and brought some soft blankets and bamboo mats.

Xia Yun originally thought that he felt uncomfortable lying on the rocks, but after tossing and tossing for a while, Feng Shu put all those things on the stone slab where Xia Yun was resting, and he was still lying on the ground under the stone slab.

Xiayun always felt sorry, and wanted to give Feng a few soft blankets, but was declined by the other party.

He had no choice but to show off his airs as a palace lord and order Feng Shu, and the latter reluctantly accepted one bamboo mat, but he resolutely refused to accept the others.

In order to conceal her physical condition, once Xiayun finds that she cannot hold on, she will use various reasons to send Fengshu out of the cave.

However, after going down several times, Feng Shu finally became suspicious, sneaked back to the cave quietly, and caught a glimpse of Xia Yun's outbreak.

"Palace Master, you..."

"Go away."

Xiayun was sweating profusely from the pain, and curled up on the soft blanket, shaking uncontrollably.

He was dizzy from the pain, but when he suddenly heard Feng Shu's call, his heart tightened, and he immediately vomited a mouthful of black blood.

I didn't want others to see my ugly and embarrassing appearance.

Looking at Feng Shu's astonished face, Xia Yun felt chills all over her body.That staring gaze was like a knife, cutting open him naked and digging out the secret that he thought he had buried well.

"Palace Master..."

"Go away!"

Xiayun was extremely ashamed and annoyed, after shouting angrily, she couldn't hold her breath, her eyes blurred, and she passed out like this.

After he woke up, the first time he saw Feng Shu, he raised his hand subconsciously, trying to erase the other's memory.

However, as soon as he moved, severe pain came from all over his body, causing him to fall back onto the soft blanket.

"Palace Master!"

Feng Shuyi turned his back to Xiayun, and fiddled with the mushrooms he picked to feed his hunger.Hearing the strange sound behind him, he immediately turned around, took two steps in three steps, and threw himself in front of the stone slab.

"Palace Master, are you awake? But do you still feel unwell?"

Xiayun looked at the anxious and concerned expression of the other party, and the words she wanted to curse stuck in her throat again.He closed his eyes, turned around with difficulty, and turned his back to Feng Shu.

"I am fine."

"Are you all right? I don't know what makes the Palace Master uncomfortable, so I tried several healing spells. If you still feel uncomfortable, Feng Shu can—"

"Enough. I want to rest, you go out first."

Xia Yun almost wanted to drive him out, but because of his weakness, he could only drive him away with a vicious tone.

However, he was too weak, his voice was almost inaudible, and he had no deterrent power at all.

Forgive that, Feng Shu seemed to have sensed Xia Yun's thoughts, and after a response, he walked out of the stone room in three steps and turned around, and sat down in the passage connecting the cave entrance.

Sensing the person leaving, Xiayun turned back and lay flat on the stone slab.He felt the pain all over his body, lost consciousness a few times in a daze, and then woke up from the pain, and so on and on, until the night before he regained some strength.

Yes, it's autumn harvest season again...

Erase Feng Shu's memory first, and then find an excuse to send him back to Wangyun Palace.

Xiayun thought so.He stood up with difficulty, followed the fluorescent light floating in the cave, and staggered towards the entrance of the passage.However, he walked all the way outside the cave, but he didn't find Feng Shu's figure.

In the middle of the night, where did Feng Shu go?

Could it be that seeing his embarrassing appearance just now, he felt that he was so unbearable, so he left?

Xiayun stared at the flickering waning moon in the sky, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.Holding the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to himself:

"I've only been here for a few years, and you still take it so seriously? I'm afraid I haven't suffered enough yet."

After experiencing a hundred years of loneliness, Xiayun thought that she had become desireless and heartless.

But in just four years of getting along, he has actually gotten used to the feeling of having someone by his side.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized how much he wished to have someone by his side to share his joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys with him, instead of hiding from everyone and digesting all his emotions and pains alone.

It's just that he finally got used to being with people, but the people who accompanied him left him again.

Xiayun smiled again, then sat down slowly, pressing her aching heart.

Forget it, anyway, I didn't have long time, so why bother to worry about it?

It is normal in the world for people to leave tea to cool down. If you can't keep it, you don't need to deliberately keep it.

"Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves in the forest. Why not sing Xiao Xiao and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and straw shoes are light than horses. Who is afraid? A cloud of mist and rain will make your life."

The autumn wind is bleak, blowing a gradually cold heart.

After the slightly desolate sentence fell, another light voice suddenly sounded: "Looking back at the bleak place, there is neither wind nor rain nor sunshine."

……

His frozen heart beat violently, sending warmth to every part of his body.

Xiayun raised her head and saw a slightly blurred outline.

"Palace Master, it's cold and windy, why are you so excited to chant words to the moon?"

Feng Shu said with a smile, raised the bamboo basket in his hand, and said: "I sneaked back to the palace, made a bowl of wolfberry stewed chicken soup, and brought a few side dishes. Palace Master, if you feel stuffy in the cave, How about we sit here and eat?"

Xia Yun watched Feng Shu put down the basket, took out a quilt from the sachet around her waist, and covered herself without any explanation.

"you--"

"Ha chirp!"

Feng Shu rubbed the tip of his red nose and said, "What?"

Xiayun was stunned for a moment, and then found that the other person's face was flushed red with cold, but there was still a smile on his face, as if he didn't feel the cold at all.

When he was driven out of the stone room by Xia Yun just now, he didn't bring warm clothes with him;

And before rushing back, he just put on a cloak casually, but he still couldn't resist the cold autumn wind.

"It's okay. I'm a little cold, let's go back to the cave and eat."

Looking at Feng Shu's smile, Xia Yun suddenly felt that he was not so similar to Feng Yan.

"it is good."

Feng Shu picked up the basket, helped Xiayun get up, and then helped him back to the cave.After they finished their meal, they went directly back to the stone room and went to sleep.

From the beginning to the end, the two tacitly did not mention what happened to Xia Yun, as if it had never happened.

The wind was very cool that night, but the cave was very peaceful.Xiayun felt the faint pain as if separated by a bay, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Then, it was dawn.

After that day, when Xiayun had an attack, she didn't hide it anymore.

Feng Shu knows the pride in his bones, and when he notices that Xiayun is uncomfortable, he can always leave under the excuse of "returning to the palace to get a change of clothes", "researching and improving the method of silk curtain umbrella", etc., leaving a space for Xiayun to maintain his dignity.

For this, Xiayun was not only grateful, but also faintly moved.He didn't know if Feng Shu guessed something, anyway, after the other party sneaked back to the palace a few times, the pain on his body was obviously relieved, and he was more energetic.

It's just that after the pain in the body has been relieved, the troubles in my heart have increased a lot.

Knowing that time is running out, Xiayun occasionally drags his tired body and shuttles through the mountains and forests with Feng Shu to see the beautiful rivers and mountains that gave birth to him, as well as the ever-changing magnificent scenery.

After all, Feng Shu is young, and always energetically drags Xiayun around, and when he notices that he is uncomfortable, he will stop thoughtfully so that the other party can have a good rest.

Xiayun felt that Feng Shu must have guessed the connection between herself and the plants, so when she walked outside, she would always avoid places with lush flowers and leaves, and try not to walk on the ground if she could.

In addition, he no longer picked fruits and vegetables for food, but went back and forth to Wangyun Palace, delivered the prepared food, and then transported the tableware back.

Sometimes, Xiayun would think in a trance, it seems that it is not bad to live like this.

When being pulled by Feng Shu to run, he heard his own laughter for a long time.The kind of happiness he felt from the bottom of his heart was an emotion that he rarely experienced in his pale hundreds of years of life.

How good would it be if you could live on so easily all the time?

But is it too selfish to do this by yourself?If one day he suddenly returned to the loess, would it be cruel to Feng Shu who was left behind?

"Palace Master, you are in a daze again."

Feng Shu turned his head and smiled, and continued to drag Xia Yun through the forest.

Over the past few months, Feng Shu has changed from his former restraint, and has become more flexible and relaxed.At this moment, he is pulling Xiayun and running towards the foot of the mountain.

"If you don't hurry up, you won't be in time to watch the fireworks!"

The author has something to say:

About why Xiayun knew Fengshu was lying:

In the real world, no one would intentionally burn their face in order to try the effects of scald medicine.

Even if there are such extreme people, they will not make a fuss about their own faces, but will do it on their hands, feet, or relatively hidden parts (there is no advocacy of self-harm here);

As for the reason why Feng Shu hides his face, it is probably because he finds that Xia Yun feels uncomfortable looking at his own face, and this situation tends to worsen after he grows up.

After all, he is a very sensitive child, he neither wanted to make Xiayun feel bad, nor would he give up the chance to meet Xiayun, so he made some crooked ideas (Xiaofeng thinks you are still too young, hehe);

Among the two small dolls that appeared before, the face of the commoner doll was carved very ordinary, which is the reason (in line with the cute idea of ​​"If I look like this, I won't be hated by the palace lord" 0w0)

During the period when Feng Shu entered the palace, all dealings with people were for the purpose of learning and improving, and he also continued to study the making of utensils in private. This is how the silk curtain umbrella that can be retracted freely later came into being.

Speaking of going back for so long, do the judges still remember what the protagonist group was doing...

(Already trying to sprinkle sugar, don't give up because of this QwQ)

P/s:

The words of Xiayun and Feng Shuyin come from "Settling the Storm? Don't Listen to the Sound of Chuanlin Beating the Leaves" written by Su Shi, a writer of the Song Dynasty.The original text is as follows:

Don't listen to the sound of Lin knocking leaves, why not scream and walk slowly.Who's afraid of bamboo stick shoes lighter than horses?Ren Pingsheng was born in a misty rain.

When the spring breeze awakens, it is slightly cold, but the hilltop is shining obliquely. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind, rain or sunshine when I return.
