tired spring return

Concentric and help each other, always the same.

From a distance, Feng Chun recognized the large-character signboard of the medicine shop they were looking for - Huichuntang.The two approached quickly, and although the scene in front of them was expected, they couldn't help but feel a chill from the soles of their feet.The doors and windows of the medicine hall were smashed open, like huge wounds, black holes were exposed, luring people to peep into the more terrifying and messy inside.The medicine cabinet in the hall was tilted here and there, the drawers were wide open, and the debris of various medicinal materials mixed with dust was spread all over the floor. It is not difficult to see how violent looting has been experienced here.

"Wait here for me, I'll go in and have a look first."

Pei Minzhi frowned, and walked in first to check carefully.

Feng Chun's expression was also very serious. He looked around the unrecognizable medicine hall, took a few steps in Pei Minzhi's direction, and leaned over to check an overturned wooden cabinet.He was wearing a dark green gown today, and the dust raised by the two of them fell on his spotless skirt, which was particularly eye-catching.

Pei Minzhi only glanced at him, then turned back to him, and stopped him from touching the wooden cabinet's hand.

"Don't touch it, dirty."

Pei Minzhi pulled him up from the ground, and brushed the dust off his clothes casually.

"I have roughly checked, and all the medicinal materials have been robbed."

"Xiao Chun'er, according to this posture, the medicinal material warehouse may not be spared. We'd better prepare for the worst."

Feng Chun nodded, not without disappointment, but he tried his best to be very calm when facing the young master.

"Don't be afraid, if the medicinal materials are really gone, I will accompany you to think of other ways."

"Ok!"

"Do you know where the warehouse is?"

Feng Chun took out a brass key from his sleeve that he kept close to him and showed it to Pei Minzhi.

"Uncle Chen said that the warehouse is in his bedroom in the backyard."

Pei Minzhi nodded and said:

"Let's go, watch your step."

He took Feng Chun's hand again, but no one walked side by side with him.I took the lead and walked ahead, calmly clearing a path from the mess that was large enough to accommodate the people behind me.

The situation in the courtyard was not much better, and the two of them walked straight to the master's former bedroom without stopping.

The situation in the room was much better than that in the medicine hall. The furniture in the room was simple and there were no valuable things, so there was no serious damage.It seems that the purpose of the visitor is clear, just to snatch the medicinal materials.

"Xiao Chun'er, are you sure it's here?"

Facing the empty bedroom, Pei Minzhi seemed a little hesitant.

"It should be right. Uncle Chen has deliberately instructed me several times that it is the bedroom. He said that he can open it with this key."

Pei Minzhi inspected the room carefully, pointed to a blanket on the floor beside the bed and said:

"It should be down there."

Feng Chun looked at him in amazement, and before he had time to say anything, Pei Minzhi had strode over and lifted off the worn-out blanket.

After the dust settled, what appeared in front of their eyes was a piece of blue-gray ground, which seemed to be the same as the rest of the room, but upon closer inspection, one could find that it was actually a well-concealed secret door.

Feng Chun walked over quickly, squatted beside Pei Minzhi, head to head with him, leaned closer and looked down.After watching for a while, he couldn't help raising his head and couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes. He gestured and asked, his eyes were bright and full of admiration.

"It turns out that there is another universe under the blanket. Young Master, how did you find out?"

Pei Minzhi looked at him dotingly and smiled.

"I also guessed. Looking at the layout of the room, the owner of the house is not very particular about life. The furniture and supplies are simple and practical. There is not a single extra item in the whole house, but there is a blanket on the floor that is very cumbersome to clean. It didn't seem to make sense. So I thought maybe the blanket was just to cover something up."

The light in Feng Chun's eyes was even brighter.

"My young master is extremely talented. If I had known that you still had this talent, I shouldn't have been in a hurry to drive you away."

Pei Minzhi seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and after taking a deep look at him, he turned away.He gently pulled Feng Chun up from the ground, taking the opportunity to change the topic.

"This Mr. Chen doesn't seem to be simple. Xiao Chun'er, how much do you know about him?"

I wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but unexpectedly it hurt the hearts of the two of them.Feng Chun consciously made a slip of the tongue, eager to make up for it, and hurriedly stretched out a pair of thin white hands to gesture to him as detailed as possible.

"Uncle Chen briefly mentioned to me before that when he was young, he had wandered in the rivers and lakes for many years. He treated me very sincerely and with a narrow heart. When he was seriously ill, he asked me to treat the people in the city...I admire him very much."

"Well, open the door."

Pei Minzhi took the key from Feng Chun, told Feng Chun to take a step back and wait in a safe place, and leaned over to look down.

"Xiao Chun'er wait for me here first, I'll go down and have a look first, and I'll pick you up if there's no problem."

Feng Chun grabbed his cuff.

"Young master, be careful!"

"it is good."

After speaking, he quickly jumped down.

Soon there was a dim candlelight under the secret room, and through the narrow secret door, Feng Chun could roughly see a spacious stone room below.There was no sign of Pei Minzhi as far as he could see, and he waited patiently for a while, but still did not see Pei Minzhi turning back to look for him, Feng Chun anxiously knocked on the edge of the entrance.

He was waiting for Pei Minzhi's response, but unexpectedly, he threw himself into his arms when he waited.

He only knocked a few times, and Pei Minzhi's figure quickly appeared, blocking the entrance, facing him, against the light, and stretched out his arms not to be refused.His face was almost hidden in the dark background, but Feng Chun saw his tenderness thoroughly.

"Xiao Chun'er, there's no problem down here. Come on, I'll take you down."

That embrace was a gentle place that sheltered him from wind and rain, reassuring and warm, Feng Chun could hardly resist the longing in his heart, but this time he did not indulge in it without hesitation.

"Young master, I can do it myself, just be careful with your legs."

Pei Minzhi's eyes moved slightly.

"After so many years, Xiao Chun'er still remembers my leg injury?"

"How could I forget, how could I forget?

I remember every minute and every second I spent with the young master in the past, I remember it clearly, it is hard to let go of it!It is precisely because I have truly laughed and cried that I can be sure that people like me have truly lived in this world with flesh and blood!

But after so many years, why is the son's leg still not healed?Did something happen later, or did you not have a good life after I left? "

"It's all right now."

"You must have suffered a lot, right?"

"Every day without Xiaochun'er is bitter for me. Is Xiaochun'er willing to let the young master have all the hardships? Come..."

Feng Chun could no longer resist the tenderness in his eyes, sighed softly, and wrapped his two thin arms around Pei Minzhi's neck.I only felt that my waist tightened, and my body was lightly out of control, floating up and down amidst the violent heartbeat.
