I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Luo Bai had a long dream.

In his dream, he saw a bright starry sky and a vast wilderness below. The young Chu Yuzhao sat on the grass and told the younger him the stories of those stars.

When the wind blew, Chu Yuzhao took off his old clothes, wrapped him tightly, and said in a gentle voice, brother, go back, the wind is blowing.

On the path back to the village, Chu Yuzhao carried him on his back. The young man under the night had thin shoulders, but carried him firmly. The two walked back along the path asking questions and answering questions.

He saw his older self, surrounded by a group of children laughing and calling him a fool.He shrunk his neck and lowered his head, hurried home, leaned against the courtyard door and muttered softly: I am not a fool, you are the fools.

He saw his mother whipping him with a cane, weeping as she whipped him, and asked him why he did that, why he used that method to save people, and said he was really a fool.

He didn't fight back, and he didn't feel wronged, he just wanted his mother not to be so angry and sad.

He saw himself as an adult, sitting on a soft chair with his feet soaked in the water basin.Someone in front of him was washing his feet with his head down, he scratched the palm of that person with his toes, the person raised his head, his eyebrows were handsome, and his eyes were extremely gentle.

He saw hundreds of soul bodies floating beside him, and he walked in a daze among them, but stopped when he saw a soul body in the distance.The moment he saw the soul body, the hole in his heart seemed to be filled by something.

He saw the soul body looking around, as if looking for something, and its body exuded a different aura from theirs.The breath attracted him to get closer, but also had a strong sense of oppression, which made him feel a little scared. He instinctively knew to avoid it, so he hid behind an old willow and watched it secretly.

But the soul body caught him behind the tree, and the breath-taking breath frightened him.

He struggled and ran away, only to be caught back at the water's edge.While struggling, he saw clearly the colorful little dragon above the opponent's head, and instantly became quiet.

In that hazy memory, he seemed to have seen such a colorful little dragon before, but at that time, the little dragon was covered with scars, and the colored stripes on his body became dim and were about to go out.

When he put his colorful little leopard together with the little dragon, the little dragon raised his head, stretched out his tongue and gently licked the little leopard, and his body gradually lit up.

……

At the end of this long dream, Luo Bai's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Those beautiful eyes were still clear and innocent, but they were a little more lively than before.

The top of Nanya Mountain is the first to feel the ray of spring breeze, and the snow melts into water, which merges into streams and flows to the foot of the mountain.

Yuan Fu was drying quilts in the small courtyard of the Taoist temple.Today, the snow is clear and the sun is warm. It is a good time to dry the quilt.

As soon as he put the quilt on the string, he unconsciously glanced at the door, and he froze there.

I saw a handsome young man with exquisite features but a pale complexion, standing at the door in white single clothes, looking at him with a smile.

"Aunt Yuan Fu." Luo Bai's voice was still a little weak.

Yuan Fu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then stared at him blankly, tears welled up after a while, and he called out with his lips moving, "Master."

"Aunt Yuan Fu." Luo Bai's eyes were also red, and he jogged towards Yuan Fu.

However, Yuan Fu's expression changed. The last moment his face was full of excitement, but now he lowered his face, raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "In such a cold day, you go outside wearing a single coat. Do you think you are recovering too quickly?"

Yuan Fu put the quilt on his arm on the string, walked over, pushed Luo Bai and entered the door: "Hurry up and put on your clothes, put on the leather robe."

Luo Bai was soon wrapped up tightly, wearing a leather robe, leather boots and a cloak, with a hand warmer in his hand, standing in the yard with a smile on his face, watching Yuan Fu arrange his clothes.

Yuan Fu kept complaining, but he kept raising his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes: "You are such a torturer, this period of time has scared me, I have to take good care of my body in the future, I am not young I can't bear you to toss around like this a few more times, just put on your clothes and rest, there are several doctors living in the other courtyard, I'll call them to have a look—"

Luo Bai suddenly reached out and hugged Yuan Fu, making the rest of his words choked in his throat, and then leaned his cheek to stick it on his face, saying: "Aunt Yuan Fu, I know, You won’t worry about getting sick again in the future, see if I’ve put on all my clothes now? If you’re worried, I’ll put on the fur as well.”

Yuan Fu patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good to know."

Luo Bai straightened up and asked, "Aunt Yuan Fu, where's brother?"

Yuan Fu's expression darkened, and he reluctantly said: "Your Majesty is busy, so he went down the mountain. You stay here well, and he will come up the mountain to see you when he is free."

Luo Bai kept looking at him, and asked again: "Is brother not well?"

Yuan Fu retorted subconsciously: "What's wrong? You obviously woke up a day earlier than you."

As soon as the words fell, Luo Bai breathed a long sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed: "It's good if you can wake up, it means that there is no serious problem, as long as you can wake up."

Yuan Fu was taken aback, and Luo Bai asked again: "Then where is he now?"

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that? Your Majesty has already gone down the mountain. After all, he is very busy and still has a lot to do." Yuan Fu faltered, but subconsciously glanced to the left.

"Well, I know, then I'll go see him now." Luo Bai said.

Yuan Fu watched him turn around and go to the courtyard on the left, and stood there in a daze.

After Luo Bai woke up this time, it seemed that there was no difference from before, but he faintly felt that something was different.

What is the difference?

Yuan Fu scratched his head in confusion.

Luo Bai stepped into the side courtyard of the Taoist temple, and smelled a medicinal fragrance in his nose, mixed with the clear mountain wind in early spring, it smelled surprisingly good.

Spring seems to come earlier on the top of the mountain than at the bottom of the mountain. An apricot tree in the corner of the courtyard is already full of green branches, with light-colored buds faintly exposed in it.

In the room under the apricot tree, through the open window, you can see a bamboo chair by the window, and someone is leaning on it.There is a medicine pot on the small red stove next to it, and the medicine is simmering.

Hearing Luo Bai's footsteps, the man opened his eyes, it was Wu Yazi.

After Wu Yazi saw Luo Bai, he looked him up and down silently, without making a sound, he only raised his finger and pointed to the room, still maintaining the reclining posture, and closed his eyes again.

Luo Bai didn't know Wu Yazi, so he directly stepped into the gate, looked left and right, and went into the back room.

Facing him was a large bed, on which lay a tall man with a pale but handsome face.

When Luo Bai saw him clearly for the first time, his gaze was fixed on his face, and he couldn't move an inch.

He stood at the door, and after an unknown amount of time, he approached step by step and sat down on the side of the bed.

Time passed quietly, and Luo Bai just looked at Chu Yuzhao without blinking, seeing his gently rising and falling chest, deep eye sockets, straight nose bridge, and those sharp thin lips.

He leaned down and kissed her lightly.

Chu Yuzhao's lips were dry and cool, but soft, with a faint medicinal fragrance.Luo Bai stayed on his lips for a moment before raising his head, his gaze still softly on his face.

"Brother, when I came, I saw the apricot blossoms outside. When you wake up, I will take you to see the apricot blossoms in the yard."

"Do you remember what happened when you were a child? You took me to see the apricot blossoms together, picked green apricots and marinated them in a pottery urn, and when the apricots were ripe, you would choose the yellowest and reddest ones for me to eat. You said the ones with insect eyes were the most Sweet, but I’m afraid of bugs, so you pick a handful and go back, use a knife to dig out the holes of the bugs one by one, and leave the good ones for me to eat.”

"You couldn't remember anything at that time, but you said it didn't matter if you couldn't remember, as long as I was there. You said you would be with me forever, watch me grow up, and build a house for me, watch me Marry a wife, have children, let the children call you uncle."

"But you didn't watch me grow up, and you won't watch me marry a wife in the future, and I don't have any children to call you uncle."

Luo Bai picked up Chu Yuzhao's hand that was outside the quilt, and kissed the back of that hand with clear knuckles, "But it doesn't matter, because you are my daughter-in-law, and we will be together forever."

"I know, when you wake up later, you may become a fool like me. What will you look like when you are stupid? Will you pester me for bobo soup? Will you ask me to accompany you Playing with snow?"

There was water in Luo Bai's eyes, and he lowered his head and rubbed the water on the back of Chu Yuzhao's hand: "I will feed you Bobobo soup, and play with you in the snow, my darling, what do you want? Whatever you do, I will be with you."

He buried his face in Chu Yuzhao's chest, sniffed deeply the familiar breath that reassured him, and said in a low voice: "That's good, every five years, we will change each other and be fools to each other. We can't Always let me take care of you, and you have to take care of me, we change our souls every five years, and take turns being each other's fools."

His tears silently seeped into Chu Yuzhao's unlined clothes, soaking a large area there, but he didn't want to raise his head, he just reached out and wrapped his arms tightly around his shoulders.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a big hand on top of his head, the palm of his hand was warm, gently stroking the top of his hair with infinite love.

Luo Bai's heart trembled, and he raised his head abruptly, and met those deep and charming eyes in his eyes blurred with tears.

Looking at the dazed Luo Bai, Chu Yuzhao showed a slight smile on his face, then opened his lips, and said in a barely audible voice: "What a little fool."

"Brother, brother..." Luo Bai said blankly.

Chu Yuzhao hummed.

His voice was deep and mellow, and Luo Bai, who was lying on his chest, felt the vibration of the chest cavity below him, and then he reacted, and quickly stood up, ignoring the tears on his face, and asked in surprise: "Brother, are you awake?" ?”

"I've been awake all the time." Chu Yuzhao's voice was still very small, but very clear.

"Then you, then you..." Luo Bai murmured, a little afraid to ask the rest.

Chu Yuzhao smiled and said, "I'm not stupid."

"Well, of course you're not stupid anymore." Luo Bai shuddered, and the volume increased a bit, "You're not stupid at all, you're smart, I'll be the first to scratch anyone who dares to call you a fool in the future he."

After speaking, he leaned forward again, pecked and kissed Chu Yuzhao's face thoughtlessly, wiped away the tears on his own face, and said repeatedly: "My beautiful baby, smart baby, you are the best in the world! There's no one smarter than you."

Chu Yuzhao just lay there, enjoying Luo Bai's eager pecking kiss with peace of mind, and when he straightened up, he smiled and continued, "I'm not stupid."

Luo Bai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Yuzhao: "Although I returned your soul, my soul has already grown."

Luo Bai looked at him in that dazed manner again, and after a while, his eyes lit up, like twinkling stars.

"You are, are you really not stupid?"

"Really. In the past, I often had pain attacks. It was your soul, that is, the little villain who was repairing my soul. It's just that without your restraint, his movements may be a bit big, which made me feel the pain."

Chu Yuzhao took his left hand instead, pulled it to his lips and kissed: "Master Wu Yazi saw that my soul has been repaired, so he dared to strip Xiaobai from my body and return it to your body. "

Luo Bai covered his mouth with his right hand, tears poured out uncontrollably, but his eyes turned into crescent moons when he smiled again.

Chu Yuzhao looked at him firmly, then stretched out his arms to wrap him in his arms, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and wiped the tears on his face with the other.

"Don't cry." His voice became a little hoarse.

Luo Bai choked and said: "I'm not crying, crying is sad, I am, I'm so happy that I shed tears."

"I know."

Chu Yuzhao let go of his shoulders, raised his chin, lowered his head, and kissed his lips.

This kiss was only a taste, but when the lips parted, Luo Bai's body became weak, and two blushes appeared on his cheeks.

Chu Yuzhao rubbed against him with the tip of his nose, and whispered after a while: "Thank you, little leopard."

"You're welcome." Luo Bai also sounded like a gnat.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"But I also heard what you said just now, you can count on what you say." Chu Yuzhao said again.

"Follow the numbers, count everything, count everything." Luo Bai no longer remembered what he was referring to, and just kept agreeing.

Chu Yuzhao laughed again: "Then you go and order a bowl of food, wait for me to eat something, and then go to see Xinghua together."

"okay."

Yuan Fu brought in the white jade ball soup, and then backed out with a very winking look. Luo Bai carefully helped Chu Yuzhao up, stuffed a pillow behind his back and sat back, brought the soup himself, and scooped up a ball , sent to Chu Yuzhao's mouth.

Chu Yuzhao chewed the ball carefully while Luo Bai watched him intently, watching his Adam's apple slide up and down, watching his lips stained with water.

Finally, when he swallowed the ball, Luo Bai couldn't hold back the squirming in his heart, moved forward to touch his lips and left, and said in a low voice: "Bo!"

Chu Yuzhao paused, and Luo Bai said again: "Actually, every time I saw you chewing and eating slowly, I wanted to kiss you."

"Then why not kiss?" Chu Yuzhao asked.

The two were very close, smelling each other's breaths. Luo Bai looked at Chu Yuzhao's eyelashes, and said softly, "I kissed, but you blocked me every time, so I was a fool at that time, and I didn't know about sneak attacks."

Chu Yuzhao suddenly laughed, and his eyes shone with joy.Luo Bai stretched out his hand to caress his face, pecked his lips a few more times, and then sat down contentedly.

After finishing a bowl of soup, Luo Bai helped Chu Yuzhao up and put a cloak on his shoulders, only to realize that his tall figure was supported by his skeleton, but he actually lost a lot of weight.

"It hurts to take the soul, right?" Luo Bai felt sore in his heart.

Chu Yuzhao looked down at him and said, "It hurts without you."

Luo Bai thought for a while and said, "I can't remember, it shouldn't hurt too much."

Chu Yuzhao brushed away a strand of hair from his forehead, pinched his small earlobe, and said in a low voice, "I can't remember either, and it shouldn't hurt."

The two looked at each other and smiled again, Luo Bai put Chu Yuzhao's arm on his shoulder, and helped him walk out slowly.

Chu Yuzhao walked very slowly, following Luo Bai to the courtyard step by step.

The cold wind in early spring brought freshness, Chu Yuzhao took a deep breath, Wu Yazi by the window straightened up, and said, "Hey, can you get up now?"

Luo Bai turned his head to look at Wu Yazi, he smiled at Luo Bai: "I am your mother's brother, that is, your uncle."

Luo Bai looked Wu Yazi up and down, but didn't make a sound, Wu Yazi said again: "I also cured your wife."

As soon as he heard that it was him who stripped Chu Yuzhao's soul, Luo Bai's face turned dark, but Wu Yazi didn't notice, standing by the window with one hand stroking his long beard, he said proudly: "This soul stripping technique It is a unique skill of ours, and Pindao has never used it before, and it is unexpected that it will be successful the first time, and it will be fine."

"What if you fail?" Luo Bai's eyebrows furrowed tightly, "He still has important things to do, and he wants to get back the throne. His body is precious, what if something happens?"

Wu Yazi said: "Can't get out, if something happens, I will be responsible."

"How can you be responsible? I smashed your Taoist temple and scratched you to pieces, but I can't pay for my brother." Luo Bai said expressionlessly.

"Hey, I said you little leopard, with a round head and a round head, how come you are as fierce as your mother's mother leopard? It doesn't make sense."

Luo Bai wanted to reply, but when Chu Yuzhao pulled his arm, he turned his head sideways, raised his chin and remained silent.

"Don't be unreasonable, he's doing it for your own good." Chu Yuzhao said in a low voice, "Besides, am I okay? If it wasn't for your uncle's help, we don't know what we're going to be like now."

Luo Bai knew that what he said was right, but thinking that this soul stripping technique was very dangerous, if Chu Yuzhao's soul did not grow well, or if there were other accidents in the middle, then the result would not be the same now, so he still pouted with lingering fear.

"Go and apologize to your uncle." Chu Yuzhao pushed him lightly, and said in a low voice: "Little Leopard, you are the most reasonable little Leopard."

Luo Bai also felt that he was being rude, so he walked slowly to the window, stretched out his fingers to scratch the wooden window lattice, and muttered: "Uncle, I'm sorry."

"I'm hard of hearing, I can't hear clearly." Wu Yazi said.

Luo Bai's voice became louder: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but I was too worried about my brother, so I yelled at you. In fact, if it wasn't for uncle, my brother and I wouldn't know what happened now .I am illiterate, and I am an unreasonable leopard. Uncle, if you don’t remember the faults of villains, please forgive me this time.”

"It's the first time I've seen someone explain illiteracy so confidently." Wu Yazi glanced at him sideways and said, "Come here."

Luo Bai obediently leaned his upper body into the window.

Wu Yazi looked at him, then stretched out his hand to grab his face and shook it: "When I grow up, I saw you many years ago. At that time, you were not as long as chopsticks, and you looked like you were wrapped in swaddling clothes. She was carried up to Mount Nanya by your mother, saying that she gave birth to a baby leopard and that she wanted to meet the master."

Luo Bai compared the length of the chopsticks with his fingers.

"When the veil on the swaddle was lifted, I thought it was a baby. When I poked my head, it turned out to be a big white mouse with a layer of fluff and soft. When your mother didn't notice, I stuck out my finger to let you Chew, you really just hugged my finger and sucked it with relish, and after your mother found out, you chased me and beat me."

Luo Bai couldn't help bursting out laughing, Wu Yazi looked at him, narrowed his eyes and smiled too.

Luo Bai didn't have any feelings for this uncle who appeared out of nowhere, but suddenly he felt that the two of them became close.

"Uncle, I'm sorry." He apologized again.

Wu Yazi patted his head: "It's okay, uncle knows that you are in a hurry, and your wife is fine, but after the soul stripping, the new soul and body can't blend together. As long as you can stand up, it means that the soul has controlled the body , After a few days of recuperation, it will be back to normal."

Luo Bai returned to Chu Yuzhao's side, looking at him with bright eyes like a child receiving meritorious service.Chu Yuzhao hooked the corners of his lips, and seeing Wu Yazi lying down again, he quickly kissed Luo Bai on the lips, boasting: "What a little leopard."

Luo Bai stood on tiptoe, happy in his heart, but suddenly remembered that Liu Si had praised him before: "Good dog."

"What's the matter?" Chu Yuzhao noticed Luo Bai's strangeness and asked.

Luo Bai looked nonchalant: "It's nothing."
