Ambush from all sides
Chapter 16
When Dead Ye supported Shumei with one hand and Pei Xi with the other and walked towards the gate of Jincheng Mansion, Zhong Lan, who had been waiting at the door, was taken aback.She saw Shumei's hands twisted unnaturally, and the front of her chest was stained with blood.There were also some dark red blood stains on the sleeve of Dead Leaf's arm holding Pei Xi, and the other three people behind him were also more or less injured.
Zhong Lan rushed to meet Pei Xi and took him over.It was too late, and the child had been frightened too much, so he was already drowsy.Shumei's lips turned white from the pain, and when she saw Zhong Lan, she forced herself to straighten her body and asked, "Where's the young master?"
"The young master should be in the room, wait a moment...Mingying! Hurry up and call the young master, and Master Pei!" Zhong Lan shouted, and stretched out her other hand to grab the dead leaf's wrist.The moment her fingers were clenched up, Dead Leaves gritted her teeth and gasped. Zhong Lan was startled, and quickly let go of her hand, only to realize that she was pressing on the wound.
Leading them all the way into the lobby, and sitting down one by one, Zhong Lan handed Pei Xi over to another maid, and immediately began to check their injuries.Shumei's right hand was broken and there were multiple whip wounds on her body. The other three girls also suffered two or three stab wounds and multiple abrasions.Zhong Lan hurriedly asked her servants to bring hot water, sore medicine and bandages to clean up the dirt on their arms.
Withered Ye sat in the chair without saying a word, watching Zhong Lan and a few servants bustling about, her left arm was burning with pain.After a while, Zhan Hao walked in quickly with a blank face, followed by Ming Ying and Pei Junrong who was yawning.
The moment I met Zhan Hao's eyes, Dead Leaf felt a little nervous and uncomfortable for no reason.He subconsciously hid his injured left arm to his side, not wanting Zhan Hao to see it.In the eyes covered by half-wet hair, a trace of helpless emotion can be seen faintly.
He looked like a cat that had been wild outside for a long time. He didn't protect himself well and was scratched by other cats.When I came back, I was ashamed to see my master, and hid, as if feeling ashamed.
Seeing him like this, the jealousy and boredom that had been brewing in Zhan Hao's heart all night disappeared in no time, leaving only the bitterness that couldn't go away for a while, and the pity that gradually surfaced.
"Farewell, Cen." Zhan Hao stood far away from the edge of the hall, calling him in a calm voice.Dead Leaf was shocked by his tone, seeing Zhan Hao's complicated eyes as if he wanted to say something, he was a little guilty, but stood up involuntarily, and walked over there slowly.
Zhan Hao looked at him motionlessly, watching him walk towards him step by step with his head down.His hair was covered with steam, dry and tangled long hair, beaten into curls by the rain, with some wood chips and indistinct dirt on it.The usually clean face was also stained with dirt, and the worn leather mask was soaked in water, and the surface began to become limp and wrinkled.
The clothes were scratched in places, and the shoes and trouser legs were horribly dirty.He pursed his lips tightly, with a reserved and embarrassed expression, and his left arm was hidden behind his back unnaturally, but in fact, he had already seen the blood on his sleeve.
How did he get into such a mess?
Zhan Hao lowered his eyes and sighed silently.He suppressed the throbbing and discomfort in his heart at this moment, reached out and grabbed Dead Ye's left wrist, and pulled him out without saying a word.The dead leaves were dragged away by him in a daze, and they couldn't help beating faintly.
Didn't he make fun of himself?Or ask about the situation a little bit, at least to appease the injured girls, or say hello.
But he didn't say anything, his face was rarely expressionless, and his eyes were not as calm and leisurely as usual, as if something serious was pressing on his heart.
Withered Ye walked behind Zhan Hao in a daze, feeling the hand he was holding on to her wrist...stiff and cold, not as peaceful and warm as before.The aura around him was much more compelling than usual, Dead Leaf even felt that she couldn't bear it, and there was an impulse in her heart, wanting to break free from his hand and run away from him.
He has always felt that Zhan Hao is not easy to mess with, and the faint voice in his head has never disappeared, always coming out and shouting at him at certain times... Danger, stay away from him, he will put You gnawed down to the bone.
The feeling of wanting to leave has never been stronger than it is today.It was a biological instinct, the instinct when seeing a powerful carnivorous animal - the instinct to escape.
Zhan Hao dragged the dead leaves and led him all the way into his room, pushed him to the edge of the chair and sat down, then looked at him condescendingly.Dead Leaf sat motionless, her nose twitched from time to time, her eyes dodged a little.Zhan Hao looked at his downcast, vacillating gaze, and really wanted to reach out and lift his face up, so that he wouldn't look anywhere else, but just look at himself, just look into his own eyes.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was tense for a moment.At this moment, Mingying came in with the medicine and bandages, stretched out her hand timidly and said, "Young Master, Big Brother Cen is injured, look..." Zhan Hao turned his face to look at her, stretched out his hand to take the things, Said in a low voice: "You go and get someone to fetch a bucket of hot water." Ming Ying nodded, looked at the dead leaves with some worry, and then walked out.
Zhan Hao silently walked in front of the dead leaf, pulled a stool and sat down, and pulled out his left hand involuntarily.Withered Ye was faintly startled, struggling to withdraw her hand, but Zhan Hao gave her a stern look, and her wrist was tightly held by him, unable to move.
"Don't move." Zhan Hao's voice was low and serious, without any resistance.Withered Leaves watched helplessly as he tore off his sleeve from his upper arm, and his arm was instantly naked.The long whip that Nian Yuqing hit on it was exposed, bloody and bloody, with bruises around the edges.Zhan Hao's eyes suddenly darkened, and Dead Ye even felt that he was almost out of breath by the aura around him at that moment.Zhan Hao frowned and stared at it for a long time, but in the end he didn't speak. He just took the veil and dipped it in the medicinal wine, and began to clean the wound carefully.
The moment the veil was pressed, the wound was bitten by the medicinal wine and twitched slightly, Dead Leaf's face tightened, and her brows were involuntarily frowned.Zhan Hao raised his eyes and stared at him, but the movement of his hands didn't stop. He asked in a deep voice, "Have you met the Shadow Sect master?"
Withered Leaf looked at him briefly, and immediately lowered her eyelids: "...um."
Zhan Hao still stared at him, and slowly said: "The four of them, plus you, still can't handle that group?"
Withered Ye pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were a little guilty.He didn't know what to say about what had happened—maybe it was Shumei's fault, she shouldn't have used words to scare herself before she acted, but it could also be his own fault.His purpose was not firm at first, and he was reaping the fruit of himself if he was used as a preacher.
... He didn't even know what he was going to do by staying with Zhan Hao.
Zhan Hao looked at him steadfastly, and after a while, he said firmly word by word: "You and Shumei had a fight."
"It's not a quarrel." Withered Leaf turned her head to avoid his sight, her expression a little depressed.He bowed his head and faltered for a while, and then continued hoarsely for a long time: "She said that I have to leave sooner or later, it is better to leave earlier."
Hearing these words, Zhan Hao's heart tightened for a moment, and his thinking stagnated for a short time.The movements of his hands subconsciously stopped, and his breathing became thinner.Dead Leaf felt that the friction on her arm had disappeared, and could not help but raise her eyes to look at him gloomily.
Zhan Hao blinked his eyes, opened his mouth in thought, and finally uttered a syllable after a long time: "Then..." At this point, he paused inexplicably again, his hands fell on the knees of the dead leaves, and he wiped the handkerchief stained with medicinal wine. Clenched tightly.Seeing his eyelashes flickering, Dead Leaf's eyes became lighter, with uncertainty in his eyes: "Then, do you want to go?"
Seeing his appearance, Dead Leaf's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and a trace of panic appeared inexplicably in his heart.With a sullen face at a loss, he dodged and lowered his head, but he saw Zhan Hao's hand on his knee again... clutching the veil, his knuckles were faintly white.
At that moment, Dead Leaf understood the meaning of this gesture - Zhan Hao was very concerned about this matter.
This recognition made Dead Leaf suddenly feel a strange sense of steadfastness, although the heart was still accompanied by chaos.He lowered his head, took a deep breath with a stiff expression, and said vaguely: "Or else? I don't have any reasonable reason."
"You...do you need a reason?" Zhan Hao stared at his drooping head, and he twirled his hair, somehow feeling a little funny in his heart.After getting along for more than two months, Zhan Hao thought that his position in Dead Leaf's heart was at least a little higher than before, but now he actually said—"There is no reason"?Zhan Hao thought in disbelief, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
He laughed twice, reached out and grabbed the other sleeve of Dead Leaf, slowly leaned over to approach him, and said in a disappointed and bitter tone: "Bie Cen, what do you think about me?" , huh? What do you think of me?"
"It's been so long, what kind of relationship do you think we have? - An old acquaintance who cooperated? A nodding acquaintance? A chance encounter? Or... nothing at all?"
As Zhan Hao said, he felt slightly lost.He is kind to Dead Leaf, that is not unconditional, he hopes that Dead Leaf will like him, maybe not so fast, but at least it will have some effect, at least it will make them closer.But now, Dead Leaf's "no reason" is like a slap in the face, an incomparably loud slap.
Perhaps it is not so exaggerated, but this is indeed the first time that Zhan Hao feels hurt, very depressed and unwilling.
Those who can hurt people are indeed their loved ones.
The dead leaf hung its head and froze, its body receding further and further.Facing Zhan Hao's aggressiveness for the first time, he felt very uncomfortable, and even felt panic after a long absence.
He has always been alone in the rivers and lakes, and he has never felt flustered when he has reached the point of life and death several times.He is a killer, and what he is not good at dealing with is the sincerity of others, just like the gesture of friendship between Xiao Yuanyang and Fang Qiu.In terms of emotions, he has never been able to handle it with ease, maybe his ability in this area has degraded-since the death of his elder brother Cen Li.
He knows that Zhan Hao treats him well, and everyone in the Zhan family treats him very well, he is not an unconscious wooden man.He kept a straight face, he choked with Zhan Hao, and he spoke sarcastically, all because he wasn't used to it, really he wasn't used to it.I didn't get used to the sudden care, the small details that suddenly enriched my life, so I used that behavior to cover up my helplessness.
It is not that he has not considered the current situation.Sometimes Dead Leaf would feel that Zhan Hao is incomprehensible. He seems to have a deep-rooted habit of caring and taking care of others, so he cares about himself along the way.What words would he use to define this relationship?It's like a powerful father who takes good care of his own child, and by the way, also takes care of the poor child next door.
Zhan Hao is a bit like his big brother, but Dead Leaf is unwilling to compare him with his big brother.Sometimes when he thinks about it, he would vaguely expect... Zhan Hao, maybe he considers him a friend.
People in the world have various intricate relationships with each other, such as mother and son, father and brother, partners, enemies... lovers, or friends.
Dead Leaf once had several of them, such as father and son, brother, employee, and enemy.He has tasted these tastes, either good or peaceful, or indifferent or hateful.There are some relationships that he is not interested in, such as partners and accomplices; there are several relationships that he dare not hope for, such as lovers and friends.
He has been walking in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, but he has never had any so-called friends.
Now Zhan Hao asks him, what is the relationship between them, how can he tell?What he wants, what Zhan Hao wants, he doesn't understand - he came to Zhan Hao because he was confused.
Zhan Hao kept looking at him, staring at him patiently and motionlessly.He could see the turmoil in Dead Leaf's heart, and he also knew that his step was not good-he was still impatient.But there is no way, Zhan Hao can't convince himself not to waver, he must need affirmation now, so that he can have the confidence to continue walking.
Withered Leaf frowned, her lips twitched faintly.Zhan Hao noticed it sharply, and immediately stared at his face more intently.Dead Leaf raised her eyes, glanced at him briefly, and then walked away with a bit of stubbornness.Zhan Hao heard him muttering in a low voice: "What's the matter, anyway, I'm not your servant."
"Servant?" Zhan Hao waited with all his energy, but finally got such a vague and ironic answer.He couldn't help but smile on his face, but at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—sometimes no answer is more reassuring than having an answer, at least he didn't deny it completely, but just...like a little awkwardness?
Zhan Hao looked at him, not being completely sure for a moment.Withered leaves like this, the attitude is quite obedient, the eyes are lowered, and the eyes are not as cold as before, but a little dull.
Withered Ye reluctantly buried her head and scratched at the armrest of the chair, and said in a hoarse voice with some displeasure: "Why did you hire me as a guard? It's been almost three months, and I haven't given me a single coin..."
Hearing what he said, Zhan Hao was dazed for a while, and the look in his eyes gradually relaxed.At this time, he was finally sure, at least, Dead Leaf was still willing to stay by his side, and did not want to leave.
"You really are..." Zhan Hao heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing hoarsely.He patted the dead leaf's knee helplessly, and said in a compromised way: "Okay, I'll pay you right away. It's really stingy, I'll serve you with delicious food and drink, and I don't work, and I come back with injuries, what a waste." I have wound medicine, but I still have the face to ask me for wages."
Zhan Hao stood up with a sigh, and walked slowly to the cabinet to get things.Withered Leaf glared at him angrily, and raised his voice slightly to defend himself: "That's because you didn't let me do things! You just let me raise cats for you! Also, raise flowers!"
"The little mandarin duck is not my cat." Zhan Hao turned his face away, gave him a leisurely smile, and then continued to look for things in a leisurely manner.Seeing the familiar smile on his face, Dead Leaves had been feeling a little apprehensive since entering the door, and only now relaxed.
This bastard Zhan Hao really suits this casual look better.With a straight face, it doesn't look like him anymore.
Withered Ye bit her lip, while cursing Zhan Hao's abnormality just now, she stared at his slender back.In fact, to be honest, when he came in just now, he smelled a faint smell of fire.This smell is actually very weak, but he can still smell it, it's too familiar, Dai Yue's smell.
He was already full of questions, but the bastard Zhan was angry just now, so he didn't ask.Speaking of which, why is this guy angry?Is it because he was disturbed by Shumei's words when he acted, so he caused injuries?No, no one else was mentioned in his words, but——
"What are you thinking about?"
Just as he was lost in thought, Zhan Hao suddenly sat down in front of him, startling him.Withered Ye glared at him angrily, then sat up straight, and said unhappily: "I didn't think about it, what about my wages?" She stretched out her right hand in front of Zhan Hao, her eyes were relentless.
Zhan Hao looked at him steadily, with a slight smile on his lips: "This salary is a lot, you have to take it well." He said slowly in a low voice, holding the palm of the dead leaf with one hand, and holding the dead leaf with the other hand. Clutching something, he put it in his palm unhurriedly.Dead Leaf stared at him in a daze as he let go of his hand and retracted it. In his palm was a round red bead with a silver thread.
"Is this the wages?" Withered Leaf stared at her palm, her tone a little furious.Zhan Hao took the time to smile and said, "This is rare, no matter how many people want to buy it, they can't buy it. There are priceless things in the market."
Hearing what he said, Dead Leaf immediately thought that this must be a treasure like the sky eye bead, and then put the bead into Zhan Hao's hands with burning hands, and said: "I don't want it, you take it back! What I want is wages ,silver!"
"There is no money, only this. If you don't want it, you have nothing." Zhan Hao glanced at him calmly, with an expression of "what can you do to me".Withered Leaf stared at him angrily, grabbed his palm, and froze for a moment.Zhan Hao really enjoys it in his heart, hold my hand for as long as you like, it's best not to let go for the rest of your life.
"I really don't want it anymore!" Withered Ye gritted her teeth and squeezed out this sentence, resolutely stuffed the bead into Zhan Hao's clothes, then kept a stern face and stopped talking angrily.Zhan Hao was stunned for a while, staring blankly at his angry appearance, and after a while, a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, don't be angry." Zhan Hao squeezed his palm compromisingly, and the dead leaf immediately shook his hand, putting his hand behind his back like a cat whose paw was scalded, and still stubbornly did not look at him.Zhan Hao smiled wearily, shook off the thread hanging from the bead, and stretched out his gloves to the dead leaf's neck.The dead leaves blew up all of a sudden, and grabbed the silver thread to take it out, but Zhan Hao stopped him by grabbing his wrist: "Take it as something I gave you, and you wear it, don't take it off, okay? "
Withered Ye stared at him, her nostrils flaring with anger, she twisted her lips and said nothing.
Zhan Hao smiled affectionately, and using some strength with his fingers, he broke off his injured hand and pulled it in front of him, dipped the veil in medicinal wine, and continued to clean the wound on his arm: "Just treat it as... a friend It’s a gift from time to time. This thing is safe, otherwise you don’t know when you will come back with an injury in the future.”
Withered Leaf looked at his drooping head, the careful movements of his hands... His angrily eyes slowly retracted, and the eyelids drooped.After a while, the hand holding the silver thread was also let go, Dead Leaf lowered her head, staring at the red bead on her chest with some resentment, it took a long time before she reluctantly looked away.
friend, friend or something...
Although he didn't say it, Dead Leaf knew very well that when he heard the word "friend", he was really... a little happy.Well, only a little bit.
It's just that he doesn't know now, the relationship he considers as a friend is a joy to him.Yu Zhanhao, however, was unavoidably disappointed.
The next morning, because they had to go to the fishing ground to watch the fish, almost everyone in the exhibition house got up early.At Mao's time, Dead Leaf opened her eyes in a daze, still drowsy.After Zhan Hao helped him wrap up his wound last night, Ming Ying asked someone to bring hot water in.Dead Leaf wanted Zhan Hao to go out, but he just refused to leave, saying what... I'll wait outside the screen, and when you finish washing, I'll trim your hair for you.
Hey, what kind of haircut is it? It's not my daughter's house.I thought so, but after taking a shower, I was still pressed on the chair by him.Zhan Hao helped him cut his hair short, trimmed the frizzy parts, and finally put osmanthus oil on his hair!Seeing his movements in the mirror, Dead Ye jumped up and wanted to run out, but was caught by Zhan Hao's swift eyes and hands, and was firmly pressed into the chair.He said, oh, just take care of it, it's no big deal, or you'd be upset if you brush your hair every day.Come, let me get you a few more walnuts, that are good for your hair.
The babbling and chattering made the dead leaves very irritable.But this bastard was justified in every sentence. It is true that he is very tired of combing his hair every day, so he endured it and let him mess with it.
After getting his hair done, Zhan Hao looked at the dead walnut leaves he was gnawing on, and suddenly thought of something, and ran to the closet to search for a while.Withered Ye frowned and looked at him, wondering what this guy was doing, but saw that Zhan Hao came out with an onyx-colored linen summer dress!This time the dead leaves really exploded, and they roared unbearably, Zhan Hao, you don't even want me to wear this!
Zhan Hao looked at him innocently with his clothes on, and said this is made of hemp, it's cool, don't you always think it's hot.
Do not wear it when it is hot!Dead Leaf ran away while yelling.Zhan Hao stood on the spot and stared for a while, then called Ming Ying decisively, and said to take this dress to the cloth shop to dye it black.Withered Ye stared at him on the opposite side, slandering secretly, "Stingy Zhan Hao, it's just a piece of clothing, it's fine if you don't want to buy new ones, why do you want me to wear your old clothes?" !
Thinking of what happened last night, Dead Leaf felt angry.He was chattering all night, first lost his temper for no reason, and then messed around for a long time... Zhan Hao really is a psycho.
After scolding Zhan Hao from head to toe in her heart, Dead Ye felt relieved, and slowly got up from the bed.
The Zhan family's fishing ground is near the mouth of the Yangtze River, near Zhenhaiwei. It's a bit far away, and it's estimated that they won't arrive until noon.Zhan Hao asked someone to prepare iced sour plum soup early in the morning, in case the ill-tempered fox would get hot, don't get hairy again.
Dead Leaf didn't object to being in a carriage with him this time.When he went out, he first looked at the rising sun and the cloudless sky, then made a decisive decision and quickly got into the carriage.
Zhan Hao smiled with satisfaction, his eyes full of undisguised pampering.
Quan Jing and Yu Ke, who were driving the carriage, looked at him with pale faces.Seeing the strange eyes of the two of them, Zhan Hao first raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, then each of them shuddered, and then leisurely got into the carriage.Yuke covered her head with tears in her eyes, hugged Quan Jing's arm for a long time and mumbled in a low voice: "Young master is too much! He, he treats him too differently..."
Quan Jing's body was stiff, his arms were full of the wonderful touch of Yu Ke's soft chest, which made him dare not move, and a heart in his chest was beating "thump, boom, boom".
Inside the carriage, the dead leaves were leaning against the wall, drowsy.I didn't sleep enough last night, probably because I was too tired yesterday, and now I can't keep my eyes open.Zhan Hao sat across from him, looking at his drowsy sleeping face with great enjoyment, feeling refreshed.
The forehead of the dead leaf was pressed against the wooden car wall, the hair covered half of the cheek, and the other half of the face was still covered by the mask.Zhan Hao looked at it, and his eyes slipped to the worn-out mask.It was rained and soaked in water yesterday. At that time, it looked a little deformed. Now after a night of air drying, it seems to be back to normal, but it looks a little older than before.Zhan Hao thought to himself, should we make him a new one with a different material?This one is made of leather, so it's no wonder that you don't get prickly heat when you wear it in summer.
While thinking about it in his mind, Zhan Hao saw the dead leaf sniff his nose, and his cheek moved accordingly, and then, the mask suddenly loosened, and fell off with a "snap".
Withered Leaf straightened up in a daze, eyes opened wearily, obviously not waking up.Zhan Hao saw a red mark on his forehead, couldn't help it, lowered his head and smiled sullenly for a while, then pointed to the mask and said: "Your mask seems to be broken."
Dead Leaf frowned with a stinky face, lowered her head stupidly, and stared at the mask on the floor of the carriage.After a long time, I reached out to pick it up, patted it, and stuck it on my face.
I haven't woken up yet!Zhan Hao suppressed a smile, silently watching him fiddle.The dead leaf puffed up her face and fiddled with it for a while, but the mask still couldn't stick on, so she got hairy, twisted the mask hard in her hand, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn..."
Zhan Hao coughed twice as if to cover up, stretched out his fingers to touch his eyebrows, and said, "Well, your mask is broken, what should you do when you get to the fishing ground later?"
Withered Ye is also thinking about this matter, the mask is gone, so let's wear a bamboo hat, the one Shumei gave him yesterday, if it doesn't work, just wear a face scarf.Zhan Hao seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he opened his mouth coldly and poured cold water on him: "There will be a lot of people on the embankment at that time, if you dress up in a strange way, you may be surrounded. "
After hearing this, Dead Leaf glared at him resentfully, and then buried her head in thought again.Zhan Hao looked down at the scar on his face, recalling Dai Yue's words last night in a daze, and his mood fluctuated for a while.He still couldn't quite understand the reason why the dead leaves covered his face, if he thought it was ugly... that was unlikely.He even dared to tattoo half of his face, what was a little scar?To be honest, Zhan Hao couldn't help but connect the reason with Bai Yutang, but he couldn't think of a reason that could convince him what it was.
And when Dead Leaf was brooding over her head, she always felt a bunch of eyes staring at her face.Don't even think about it, Zhan Hao must be losing his mind again!He raised his eyes and stared at the other party angrily, and said angrily, "What are you looking at me for?!"
Zhan Hao relaxed his body, and sat down in a more relaxed posture.Withered Leaf stared at him, seeing him shrugging his shoulders leisurely, looking at other places with a flat face——with this gesture, he didn't want to explain it to him!Dead Leaf couldn't help gnashing her teeth, and then for some reason, suddenly remembered the question that she couldn't ask last night-what did Dai Yue ask him for!
Thinking of this, the annoyance in Withered Leaf's eyes instantly turned serious.With his arms around his chest, he asked in a deep voice: "Zhan Hao, did Dai Yue come to see you last night?"
Zhan Hao glanced at him calmly, and after a while, he gave a neutral "hmm".
What kind of trouble is this uncooperative attitude!Dead Leaf was a little surprised, in the past it was Zhan Hao who poured beans into his own bamboo tube, and sometimes that guy would tell the whole story without him asking.Today he took the initiative to ask, is this bastard still putting on a pose?
"Hmm, um! Did she say anything to you when she came to you?" Withered Leaf was a little angry, her cheeks flushed slightly because of anger.Zhan Hao silently watched his excited expression, and couldn't help feeling more depressed.He acted like he cared about what Dai Yue said last night - why did he react so violently when Bai Yutang was involved?Is Bai Yutang really so meaningful to him?
"Hey, what's the matter with you today, are you dumb?" Dead Leaf frowned, her expression becoming more and more stinky.Seeing his appearance, Zhan Hao felt an urge to turn his head away.I don't want to see his excited look because of others, and I don't want to tell him about other men.Although those things had passed, he really couldn't convince himself that that matter, that person, could no longer affect the dead leaves.
Dead leaves... Maybe they like Bai Yutang.
His little fox, a man who likes his brother.
The boredom, dissatisfaction, and powerlessness in my heart are increasing and becoming more and more prosperous.Because he likes dead leaves, he can't be indifferent.And because Bai Yutang is Zhao's lover, he can't take any action to vent his anger, and this matter is like a unilateral crush on Dead Leaf. To be honest, I can't blame Bai Yutang, but...
The dead leaves were still waiting in front of him, their faces darkened.After asking several times, seeing Zhan Hao's uncooperative attitude, he was really angry.This bastard, even turning his face away, usually looks at him carefully!Thinking about it this way, Dead Leaf couldn't help getting hairy, folded her arms and turned her face, and said coldly: "Don't say it."
Zhan Hao leaned against the window, feeling more and more depressed.The sunshine outside the window was just right, and the air was clean and fresh, but he wanted to quarrel with his little fox... The three words Bai Yutang were like three needles, firmly stuck in his heart, and he couldn't pull them out.It's okay if I don't think about it, but when I think about it, I get hairy, upset, and my chest is so tight that my blood is stagnant.Dead Leaf sat across from her, angrily pressing her forehead against the wall of the car.Zhan Hao turned his head to look at him, and saw that it was the small area just now, and when he lifted it up, it might be red again...
This is his awkward little fox, why do you have such unclear past with other people?
"You really want to know?"
In the stagnant carriage, Dead Leaf was burying her head in anger, but suddenly heard Zhan Hao's deep voice.He twisted his lips and snorted coldly, and tilted his head even more, leaving only the back of Zhan Hao's head.Seeing his little action, Zhan Hao's heart overflowed with compassion again.But as the emotion overflowed, another worry stung his nerves more and more - the more he cared, the deeper the injury, he had always understood this truth.
However, for the sake of the person in front of him, he was willing to suffer a little injury.Anyway, he has thick skin and a lot of experience, so he can withstand blows.
"I can tell you about Dai Yue last night, but you have to tell me what happened to the scar on your face."
Withered Ye turned her back, hearing his slow and clear words, she couldn't turn her head for a moment.He turned around suspiciously, frowned and looked at Zhan Hao.I saw him with a calm expression and calm eyes, looking at me without blinking, and already in the posture of listening.
"Why did you suddenly want to ask this question?" Seeing him like this, Dead Leaf frowned and looked at him with some distaste, as if blaming him for asking late.That's right, the two have been together for almost three months, and they had worked together for a while before, Zhan Hao didn't ask for so much time, but today he suddenly remembered it, it's really inexplicable.
Zhan Hao didn't respond to his words, just looked at him quietly with folded arms, still silent.Withered Ye stared at him for a while, then turned her face away uncomfortably: "Dai Yue came to look for you, didn't she tell you?" The voice was muffled, as if very uncomfortable.
"She said it," Zhan Hao said flatly, with no emotion in his low voice, "but I want to hear it from you."
Dead Leaf choked on his words, and opened her eyes for a while, not knowing what to do next.Zhan Hao looked at his ears protruding from his hair, and his pale neck that was not covered by his hair tied up, and waited patiently for his answer.
"Since you know everything, there's nothing else to say, it's embarrassing." Withered Leaf muttered, slowly turned her face around, lowered her eyes, and stared angrily at the floor of the carriage.
Zhan Hao's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice, "Is it ashamed to be hurt by Bai Yutang, or burned by Dai Yue?"
"It's embarrassing." Saying this unwillingly, Dead Leaf glared at Zhan Hao resentfully, as if she was blaming him for not being able to pick up topics, and which pot was not opened.Seeing his awkward appearance, Zhan Hao couldn't help showing a faint smile.He moved his body, sat directly opposite the dead leaf, put his shoe against his foot, absentmindedly touched him twice, lowered his eyes and said: "I heard that after you knew Bai Yutang, you often attacked him. ,Is it real?"
Withered Leaf stared at him with some dissatisfaction, raised her voice slightly and said, "What attack! I just... competed with him."
"Competition?" Zhan Hao squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of jokes: "I heard from Zhaozhao that you once let go and wanted to cut off his head. Is this a competition? This should be caused by love and hatred."
Hearing his guess like this, the dead leaf frowned all of a sudden, and roared with a vicious expression, "How many times have I told you that I don't like Bai Yutang! You also know that I want to kill him, so how can I like him?! "
Zhan Hao calmly raised his eyes to look at the dead leaves, and saw that his eyes were staring and his eyebrows were wrinkled, the exposed right cheek turned pale with anger.Zhan Hao squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and there was some noncommittal in his flat tone: "Love breeds hatred, dare you say that you don't appreciate Bai Yutang at all?"
"You!... What kind of bullshit theory are you talking about!" Dead Leaf was so annoyed by his words, she rolled her eyes and sat down angrily, wishing to give him a punch in her heart: "What does he have that deserves my appreciation? He Isn't it just that the talent is a little higher than mine, and the master is a little better! Yes, he is worse than me, no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with him, and my skills are inferior to others! What's wrong with me? But why do I like him? Are you sure I like him?!"
Withered Ye stared at Zhan Hao, her cheeks turned from white to red, her eyes were full of unreasonable.Zhan Hao looked at him steadfastly, and calmly let go of the arms twisted around his chest, his fingers couldn't restrain his excitement, and gently grabbed the sleeves.He looked into Dead Leaf's eyes, looked at some hideous scars on his left face, and the smile on his face gradually became meaningful.
"It means that you
Zhong Lan rushed to meet Pei Xi and took him over.It was too late, and the child had been frightened too much, so he was already drowsy.Shumei's lips turned white from the pain, and when she saw Zhong Lan, she forced herself to straighten her body and asked, "Where's the young master?"
"The young master should be in the room, wait a moment...Mingying! Hurry up and call the young master, and Master Pei!" Zhong Lan shouted, and stretched out her other hand to grab the dead leaf's wrist.The moment her fingers were clenched up, Dead Leaves gritted her teeth and gasped. Zhong Lan was startled, and quickly let go of her hand, only to realize that she was pressing on the wound.
Leading them all the way into the lobby, and sitting down one by one, Zhong Lan handed Pei Xi over to another maid, and immediately began to check their injuries.Shumei's right hand was broken and there were multiple whip wounds on her body. The other three girls also suffered two or three stab wounds and multiple abrasions.Zhong Lan hurriedly asked her servants to bring hot water, sore medicine and bandages to clean up the dirt on their arms.
Withered Ye sat in the chair without saying a word, watching Zhong Lan and a few servants bustling about, her left arm was burning with pain.After a while, Zhan Hao walked in quickly with a blank face, followed by Ming Ying and Pei Junrong who was yawning.
The moment I met Zhan Hao's eyes, Dead Leaf felt a little nervous and uncomfortable for no reason.He subconsciously hid his injured left arm to his side, not wanting Zhan Hao to see it.In the eyes covered by half-wet hair, a trace of helpless emotion can be seen faintly.
He looked like a cat that had been wild outside for a long time. He didn't protect himself well and was scratched by other cats.When I came back, I was ashamed to see my master, and hid, as if feeling ashamed.
Seeing him like this, the jealousy and boredom that had been brewing in Zhan Hao's heart all night disappeared in no time, leaving only the bitterness that couldn't go away for a while, and the pity that gradually surfaced.
"Farewell, Cen." Zhan Hao stood far away from the edge of the hall, calling him in a calm voice.Dead Leaf was shocked by his tone, seeing Zhan Hao's complicated eyes as if he wanted to say something, he was a little guilty, but stood up involuntarily, and walked over there slowly.
Zhan Hao looked at him motionlessly, watching him walk towards him step by step with his head down.His hair was covered with steam, dry and tangled long hair, beaten into curls by the rain, with some wood chips and indistinct dirt on it.The usually clean face was also stained with dirt, and the worn leather mask was soaked in water, and the surface began to become limp and wrinkled.
The clothes were scratched in places, and the shoes and trouser legs were horribly dirty.He pursed his lips tightly, with a reserved and embarrassed expression, and his left arm was hidden behind his back unnaturally, but in fact, he had already seen the blood on his sleeve.
How did he get into such a mess?
Zhan Hao lowered his eyes and sighed silently.He suppressed the throbbing and discomfort in his heart at this moment, reached out and grabbed Dead Ye's left wrist, and pulled him out without saying a word.The dead leaves were dragged away by him in a daze, and they couldn't help beating faintly.
Didn't he make fun of himself?Or ask about the situation a little bit, at least to appease the injured girls, or say hello.
But he didn't say anything, his face was rarely expressionless, and his eyes were not as calm and leisurely as usual, as if something serious was pressing on his heart.
Withered Ye walked behind Zhan Hao in a daze, feeling the hand he was holding on to her wrist...stiff and cold, not as peaceful and warm as before.The aura around him was much more compelling than usual, Dead Leaf even felt that she couldn't bear it, and there was an impulse in her heart, wanting to break free from his hand and run away from him.
He has always felt that Zhan Hao is not easy to mess with, and the faint voice in his head has never disappeared, always coming out and shouting at him at certain times... Danger, stay away from him, he will put You gnawed down to the bone.
The feeling of wanting to leave has never been stronger than it is today.It was a biological instinct, the instinct when seeing a powerful carnivorous animal - the instinct to escape.
Zhan Hao dragged the dead leaves and led him all the way into his room, pushed him to the edge of the chair and sat down, then looked at him condescendingly.Dead Leaf sat motionless, her nose twitched from time to time, her eyes dodged a little.Zhan Hao looked at his downcast, vacillating gaze, and really wanted to reach out and lift his face up, so that he wouldn't look anywhere else, but just look at himself, just look into his own eyes.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was tense for a moment.At this moment, Mingying came in with the medicine and bandages, stretched out her hand timidly and said, "Young Master, Big Brother Cen is injured, look..." Zhan Hao turned his face to look at her, stretched out his hand to take the things, Said in a low voice: "You go and get someone to fetch a bucket of hot water." Ming Ying nodded, looked at the dead leaves with some worry, and then walked out.
Zhan Hao silently walked in front of the dead leaf, pulled a stool and sat down, and pulled out his left hand involuntarily.Withered Ye was faintly startled, struggling to withdraw her hand, but Zhan Hao gave her a stern look, and her wrist was tightly held by him, unable to move.
"Don't move." Zhan Hao's voice was low and serious, without any resistance.Withered Leaves watched helplessly as he tore off his sleeve from his upper arm, and his arm was instantly naked.The long whip that Nian Yuqing hit on it was exposed, bloody and bloody, with bruises around the edges.Zhan Hao's eyes suddenly darkened, and Dead Ye even felt that he was almost out of breath by the aura around him at that moment.Zhan Hao frowned and stared at it for a long time, but in the end he didn't speak. He just took the veil and dipped it in the medicinal wine, and began to clean the wound carefully.
The moment the veil was pressed, the wound was bitten by the medicinal wine and twitched slightly, Dead Leaf's face tightened, and her brows were involuntarily frowned.Zhan Hao raised his eyes and stared at him, but the movement of his hands didn't stop. He asked in a deep voice, "Have you met the Shadow Sect master?"
Withered Leaf looked at him briefly, and immediately lowered her eyelids: "...um."
Zhan Hao still stared at him, and slowly said: "The four of them, plus you, still can't handle that group?"
Withered Ye pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were a little guilty.He didn't know what to say about what had happened—maybe it was Shumei's fault, she shouldn't have used words to scare herself before she acted, but it could also be his own fault.His purpose was not firm at first, and he was reaping the fruit of himself if he was used as a preacher.
... He didn't even know what he was going to do by staying with Zhan Hao.
Zhan Hao looked at him steadfastly, and after a while, he said firmly word by word: "You and Shumei had a fight."
"It's not a quarrel." Withered Leaf turned her head to avoid his sight, her expression a little depressed.He bowed his head and faltered for a while, and then continued hoarsely for a long time: "She said that I have to leave sooner or later, it is better to leave earlier."
Hearing these words, Zhan Hao's heart tightened for a moment, and his thinking stagnated for a short time.The movements of his hands subconsciously stopped, and his breathing became thinner.Dead Leaf felt that the friction on her arm had disappeared, and could not help but raise her eyes to look at him gloomily.
Zhan Hao blinked his eyes, opened his mouth in thought, and finally uttered a syllable after a long time: "Then..." At this point, he paused inexplicably again, his hands fell on the knees of the dead leaves, and he wiped the handkerchief stained with medicinal wine. Clenched tightly.Seeing his eyelashes flickering, Dead Leaf's eyes became lighter, with uncertainty in his eyes: "Then, do you want to go?"
Seeing his appearance, Dead Leaf's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and a trace of panic appeared inexplicably in his heart.With a sullen face at a loss, he dodged and lowered his head, but he saw Zhan Hao's hand on his knee again... clutching the veil, his knuckles were faintly white.
At that moment, Dead Leaf understood the meaning of this gesture - Zhan Hao was very concerned about this matter.
This recognition made Dead Leaf suddenly feel a strange sense of steadfastness, although the heart was still accompanied by chaos.He lowered his head, took a deep breath with a stiff expression, and said vaguely: "Or else? I don't have any reasonable reason."
"You...do you need a reason?" Zhan Hao stared at his drooping head, and he twirled his hair, somehow feeling a little funny in his heart.After getting along for more than two months, Zhan Hao thought that his position in Dead Leaf's heart was at least a little higher than before, but now he actually said—"There is no reason"?Zhan Hao thought in disbelief, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
He laughed twice, reached out and grabbed the other sleeve of Dead Leaf, slowly leaned over to approach him, and said in a disappointed and bitter tone: "Bie Cen, what do you think about me?" , huh? What do you think of me?"
"It's been so long, what kind of relationship do you think we have? - An old acquaintance who cooperated? A nodding acquaintance? A chance encounter? Or... nothing at all?"
As Zhan Hao said, he felt slightly lost.He is kind to Dead Leaf, that is not unconditional, he hopes that Dead Leaf will like him, maybe not so fast, but at least it will have some effect, at least it will make them closer.But now, Dead Leaf's "no reason" is like a slap in the face, an incomparably loud slap.
Perhaps it is not so exaggerated, but this is indeed the first time that Zhan Hao feels hurt, very depressed and unwilling.
Those who can hurt people are indeed their loved ones.
The dead leaf hung its head and froze, its body receding further and further.Facing Zhan Hao's aggressiveness for the first time, he felt very uncomfortable, and even felt panic after a long absence.
He has always been alone in the rivers and lakes, and he has never felt flustered when he has reached the point of life and death several times.He is a killer, and what he is not good at dealing with is the sincerity of others, just like the gesture of friendship between Xiao Yuanyang and Fang Qiu.In terms of emotions, he has never been able to handle it with ease, maybe his ability in this area has degraded-since the death of his elder brother Cen Li.
He knows that Zhan Hao treats him well, and everyone in the Zhan family treats him very well, he is not an unconscious wooden man.He kept a straight face, he choked with Zhan Hao, and he spoke sarcastically, all because he wasn't used to it, really he wasn't used to it.I didn't get used to the sudden care, the small details that suddenly enriched my life, so I used that behavior to cover up my helplessness.
It is not that he has not considered the current situation.Sometimes Dead Leaf would feel that Zhan Hao is incomprehensible. He seems to have a deep-rooted habit of caring and taking care of others, so he cares about himself along the way.What words would he use to define this relationship?It's like a powerful father who takes good care of his own child, and by the way, also takes care of the poor child next door.
Zhan Hao is a bit like his big brother, but Dead Leaf is unwilling to compare him with his big brother.Sometimes when he thinks about it, he would vaguely expect... Zhan Hao, maybe he considers him a friend.
People in the world have various intricate relationships with each other, such as mother and son, father and brother, partners, enemies... lovers, or friends.
Dead Leaf once had several of them, such as father and son, brother, employee, and enemy.He has tasted these tastes, either good or peaceful, or indifferent or hateful.There are some relationships that he is not interested in, such as partners and accomplices; there are several relationships that he dare not hope for, such as lovers and friends.
He has been walking in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, but he has never had any so-called friends.
Now Zhan Hao asks him, what is the relationship between them, how can he tell?What he wants, what Zhan Hao wants, he doesn't understand - he came to Zhan Hao because he was confused.
Zhan Hao kept looking at him, staring at him patiently and motionlessly.He could see the turmoil in Dead Leaf's heart, and he also knew that his step was not good-he was still impatient.But there is no way, Zhan Hao can't convince himself not to waver, he must need affirmation now, so that he can have the confidence to continue walking.
Withered Leaf frowned, her lips twitched faintly.Zhan Hao noticed it sharply, and immediately stared at his face more intently.Dead Leaf raised her eyes, glanced at him briefly, and then walked away with a bit of stubbornness.Zhan Hao heard him muttering in a low voice: "What's the matter, anyway, I'm not your servant."
"Servant?" Zhan Hao waited with all his energy, but finally got such a vague and ironic answer.He couldn't help but smile on his face, but at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart—sometimes no answer is more reassuring than having an answer, at least he didn't deny it completely, but just...like a little awkwardness?
Zhan Hao looked at him, not being completely sure for a moment.Withered leaves like this, the attitude is quite obedient, the eyes are lowered, and the eyes are not as cold as before, but a little dull.
Withered Ye reluctantly buried her head and scratched at the armrest of the chair, and said in a hoarse voice with some displeasure: "Why did you hire me as a guard? It's been almost three months, and I haven't given me a single coin..."
Hearing what he said, Zhan Hao was dazed for a while, and the look in his eyes gradually relaxed.At this time, he was finally sure, at least, Dead Leaf was still willing to stay by his side, and did not want to leave.
"You really are..." Zhan Hao heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing hoarsely.He patted the dead leaf's knee helplessly, and said in a compromised way: "Okay, I'll pay you right away. It's really stingy, I'll serve you with delicious food and drink, and I don't work, and I come back with injuries, what a waste." I have wound medicine, but I still have the face to ask me for wages."
Zhan Hao stood up with a sigh, and walked slowly to the cabinet to get things.Withered Leaf glared at him angrily, and raised his voice slightly to defend himself: "That's because you didn't let me do things! You just let me raise cats for you! Also, raise flowers!"
"The little mandarin duck is not my cat." Zhan Hao turned his face away, gave him a leisurely smile, and then continued to look for things in a leisurely manner.Seeing the familiar smile on his face, Dead Leaves had been feeling a little apprehensive since entering the door, and only now relaxed.
This bastard Zhan Hao really suits this casual look better.With a straight face, it doesn't look like him anymore.
Withered Ye bit her lip, while cursing Zhan Hao's abnormality just now, she stared at his slender back.In fact, to be honest, when he came in just now, he smelled a faint smell of fire.This smell is actually very weak, but he can still smell it, it's too familiar, Dai Yue's smell.
He was already full of questions, but the bastard Zhan was angry just now, so he didn't ask.Speaking of which, why is this guy angry?Is it because he was disturbed by Shumei's words when he acted, so he caused injuries?No, no one else was mentioned in his words, but——
"What are you thinking about?"
Just as he was lost in thought, Zhan Hao suddenly sat down in front of him, startling him.Withered Ye glared at him angrily, then sat up straight, and said unhappily: "I didn't think about it, what about my wages?" She stretched out her right hand in front of Zhan Hao, her eyes were relentless.
Zhan Hao looked at him steadily, with a slight smile on his lips: "This salary is a lot, you have to take it well." He said slowly in a low voice, holding the palm of the dead leaf with one hand, and holding the dead leaf with the other hand. Clutching something, he put it in his palm unhurriedly.Dead Leaf stared at him in a daze as he let go of his hand and retracted it. In his palm was a round red bead with a silver thread.
"Is this the wages?" Withered Leaf stared at her palm, her tone a little furious.Zhan Hao took the time to smile and said, "This is rare, no matter how many people want to buy it, they can't buy it. There are priceless things in the market."
Hearing what he said, Dead Leaf immediately thought that this must be a treasure like the sky eye bead, and then put the bead into Zhan Hao's hands with burning hands, and said: "I don't want it, you take it back! What I want is wages ,silver!"
"There is no money, only this. If you don't want it, you have nothing." Zhan Hao glanced at him calmly, with an expression of "what can you do to me".Withered Leaf stared at him angrily, grabbed his palm, and froze for a moment.Zhan Hao really enjoys it in his heart, hold my hand for as long as you like, it's best not to let go for the rest of your life.
"I really don't want it anymore!" Withered Ye gritted her teeth and squeezed out this sentence, resolutely stuffed the bead into Zhan Hao's clothes, then kept a stern face and stopped talking angrily.Zhan Hao was stunned for a while, staring blankly at his angry appearance, and after a while, a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, don't be angry." Zhan Hao squeezed his palm compromisingly, and the dead leaf immediately shook his hand, putting his hand behind his back like a cat whose paw was scalded, and still stubbornly did not look at him.Zhan Hao smiled wearily, shook off the thread hanging from the bead, and stretched out his gloves to the dead leaf's neck.The dead leaves blew up all of a sudden, and grabbed the silver thread to take it out, but Zhan Hao stopped him by grabbing his wrist: "Take it as something I gave you, and you wear it, don't take it off, okay? "
Withered Ye stared at him, her nostrils flaring with anger, she twisted her lips and said nothing.
Zhan Hao smiled affectionately, and using some strength with his fingers, he broke off his injured hand and pulled it in front of him, dipped the veil in medicinal wine, and continued to clean the wound on his arm: "Just treat it as... a friend It’s a gift from time to time. This thing is safe, otherwise you don’t know when you will come back with an injury in the future.”
Withered Leaf looked at his drooping head, the careful movements of his hands... His angrily eyes slowly retracted, and the eyelids drooped.After a while, the hand holding the silver thread was also let go, Dead Leaf lowered her head, staring at the red bead on her chest with some resentment, it took a long time before she reluctantly looked away.
friend, friend or something...
Although he didn't say it, Dead Leaf knew very well that when he heard the word "friend", he was really... a little happy.Well, only a little bit.
It's just that he doesn't know now, the relationship he considers as a friend is a joy to him.Yu Zhanhao, however, was unavoidably disappointed.
The next morning, because they had to go to the fishing ground to watch the fish, almost everyone in the exhibition house got up early.At Mao's time, Dead Leaf opened her eyes in a daze, still drowsy.After Zhan Hao helped him wrap up his wound last night, Ming Ying asked someone to bring hot water in.Dead Leaf wanted Zhan Hao to go out, but he just refused to leave, saying what... I'll wait outside the screen, and when you finish washing, I'll trim your hair for you.
Hey, what kind of haircut is it? It's not my daughter's house.I thought so, but after taking a shower, I was still pressed on the chair by him.Zhan Hao helped him cut his hair short, trimmed the frizzy parts, and finally put osmanthus oil on his hair!Seeing his movements in the mirror, Dead Ye jumped up and wanted to run out, but was caught by Zhan Hao's swift eyes and hands, and was firmly pressed into the chair.He said, oh, just take care of it, it's no big deal, or you'd be upset if you brush your hair every day.Come, let me get you a few more walnuts, that are good for your hair.
The babbling and chattering made the dead leaves very irritable.But this bastard was justified in every sentence. It is true that he is very tired of combing his hair every day, so he endured it and let him mess with it.
After getting his hair done, Zhan Hao looked at the dead walnut leaves he was gnawing on, and suddenly thought of something, and ran to the closet to search for a while.Withered Ye frowned and looked at him, wondering what this guy was doing, but saw that Zhan Hao came out with an onyx-colored linen summer dress!This time the dead leaves really exploded, and they roared unbearably, Zhan Hao, you don't even want me to wear this!
Zhan Hao looked at him innocently with his clothes on, and said this is made of hemp, it's cool, don't you always think it's hot.
Do not wear it when it is hot!Dead Leaf ran away while yelling.Zhan Hao stood on the spot and stared for a while, then called Ming Ying decisively, and said to take this dress to the cloth shop to dye it black.Withered Ye stared at him on the opposite side, slandering secretly, "Stingy Zhan Hao, it's just a piece of clothing, it's fine if you don't want to buy new ones, why do you want me to wear your old clothes?" !
Thinking of what happened last night, Dead Leaf felt angry.He was chattering all night, first lost his temper for no reason, and then messed around for a long time... Zhan Hao really is a psycho.
After scolding Zhan Hao from head to toe in her heart, Dead Ye felt relieved, and slowly got up from the bed.
The Zhan family's fishing ground is near the mouth of the Yangtze River, near Zhenhaiwei. It's a bit far away, and it's estimated that they won't arrive until noon.Zhan Hao asked someone to prepare iced sour plum soup early in the morning, in case the ill-tempered fox would get hot, don't get hairy again.
Dead Leaf didn't object to being in a carriage with him this time.When he went out, he first looked at the rising sun and the cloudless sky, then made a decisive decision and quickly got into the carriage.
Zhan Hao smiled with satisfaction, his eyes full of undisguised pampering.
Quan Jing and Yu Ke, who were driving the carriage, looked at him with pale faces.Seeing the strange eyes of the two of them, Zhan Hao first raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, then each of them shuddered, and then leisurely got into the carriage.Yuke covered her head with tears in her eyes, hugged Quan Jing's arm for a long time and mumbled in a low voice: "Young master is too much! He, he treats him too differently..."
Quan Jing's body was stiff, his arms were full of the wonderful touch of Yu Ke's soft chest, which made him dare not move, and a heart in his chest was beating "thump, boom, boom".
Inside the carriage, the dead leaves were leaning against the wall, drowsy.I didn't sleep enough last night, probably because I was too tired yesterday, and now I can't keep my eyes open.Zhan Hao sat across from him, looking at his drowsy sleeping face with great enjoyment, feeling refreshed.
The forehead of the dead leaf was pressed against the wooden car wall, the hair covered half of the cheek, and the other half of the face was still covered by the mask.Zhan Hao looked at it, and his eyes slipped to the worn-out mask.It was rained and soaked in water yesterday. At that time, it looked a little deformed. Now after a night of air drying, it seems to be back to normal, but it looks a little older than before.Zhan Hao thought to himself, should we make him a new one with a different material?This one is made of leather, so it's no wonder that you don't get prickly heat when you wear it in summer.
While thinking about it in his mind, Zhan Hao saw the dead leaf sniff his nose, and his cheek moved accordingly, and then, the mask suddenly loosened, and fell off with a "snap".
Withered Leaf straightened up in a daze, eyes opened wearily, obviously not waking up.Zhan Hao saw a red mark on his forehead, couldn't help it, lowered his head and smiled sullenly for a while, then pointed to the mask and said: "Your mask seems to be broken."
Dead Leaf frowned with a stinky face, lowered her head stupidly, and stared at the mask on the floor of the carriage.After a long time, I reached out to pick it up, patted it, and stuck it on my face.
I haven't woken up yet!Zhan Hao suppressed a smile, silently watching him fiddle.The dead leaf puffed up her face and fiddled with it for a while, but the mask still couldn't stick on, so she got hairy, twisted the mask hard in her hand, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn..."
Zhan Hao coughed twice as if to cover up, stretched out his fingers to touch his eyebrows, and said, "Well, your mask is broken, what should you do when you get to the fishing ground later?"
Withered Ye is also thinking about this matter, the mask is gone, so let's wear a bamboo hat, the one Shumei gave him yesterday, if it doesn't work, just wear a face scarf.Zhan Hao seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he opened his mouth coldly and poured cold water on him: "There will be a lot of people on the embankment at that time, if you dress up in a strange way, you may be surrounded. "
After hearing this, Dead Leaf glared at him resentfully, and then buried her head in thought again.Zhan Hao looked down at the scar on his face, recalling Dai Yue's words last night in a daze, and his mood fluctuated for a while.He still couldn't quite understand the reason why the dead leaves covered his face, if he thought it was ugly... that was unlikely.He even dared to tattoo half of his face, what was a little scar?To be honest, Zhan Hao couldn't help but connect the reason with Bai Yutang, but he couldn't think of a reason that could convince him what it was.
And when Dead Leaf was brooding over her head, she always felt a bunch of eyes staring at her face.Don't even think about it, Zhan Hao must be losing his mind again!He raised his eyes and stared at the other party angrily, and said angrily, "What are you looking at me for?!"
Zhan Hao relaxed his body, and sat down in a more relaxed posture.Withered Leaf stared at him, seeing him shrugging his shoulders leisurely, looking at other places with a flat face——with this gesture, he didn't want to explain it to him!Dead Leaf couldn't help gnashing her teeth, and then for some reason, suddenly remembered the question that she couldn't ask last night-what did Dai Yue ask him for!
Thinking of this, the annoyance in Withered Leaf's eyes instantly turned serious.With his arms around his chest, he asked in a deep voice: "Zhan Hao, did Dai Yue come to see you last night?"
Zhan Hao glanced at him calmly, and after a while, he gave a neutral "hmm".
What kind of trouble is this uncooperative attitude!Dead Leaf was a little surprised, in the past it was Zhan Hao who poured beans into his own bamboo tube, and sometimes that guy would tell the whole story without him asking.Today he took the initiative to ask, is this bastard still putting on a pose?
"Hmm, um! Did she say anything to you when she came to you?" Withered Leaf was a little angry, her cheeks flushed slightly because of anger.Zhan Hao silently watched his excited expression, and couldn't help feeling more depressed.He acted like he cared about what Dai Yue said last night - why did he react so violently when Bai Yutang was involved?Is Bai Yutang really so meaningful to him?
"Hey, what's the matter with you today, are you dumb?" Dead Leaf frowned, her expression becoming more and more stinky.Seeing his appearance, Zhan Hao felt an urge to turn his head away.I don't want to see his excited look because of others, and I don't want to tell him about other men.Although those things had passed, he really couldn't convince himself that that matter, that person, could no longer affect the dead leaves.
Dead leaves... Maybe they like Bai Yutang.
His little fox, a man who likes his brother.
The boredom, dissatisfaction, and powerlessness in my heart are increasing and becoming more and more prosperous.Because he likes dead leaves, he can't be indifferent.And because Bai Yutang is Zhao's lover, he can't take any action to vent his anger, and this matter is like a unilateral crush on Dead Leaf. To be honest, I can't blame Bai Yutang, but...
The dead leaves were still waiting in front of him, their faces darkened.After asking several times, seeing Zhan Hao's uncooperative attitude, he was really angry.This bastard, even turning his face away, usually looks at him carefully!Thinking about it this way, Dead Leaf couldn't help getting hairy, folded her arms and turned her face, and said coldly: "Don't say it."
Zhan Hao leaned against the window, feeling more and more depressed.The sunshine outside the window was just right, and the air was clean and fresh, but he wanted to quarrel with his little fox... The three words Bai Yutang were like three needles, firmly stuck in his heart, and he couldn't pull them out.It's okay if I don't think about it, but when I think about it, I get hairy, upset, and my chest is so tight that my blood is stagnant.Dead Leaf sat across from her, angrily pressing her forehead against the wall of the car.Zhan Hao turned his head to look at him, and saw that it was the small area just now, and when he lifted it up, it might be red again...
This is his awkward little fox, why do you have such unclear past with other people?
"You really want to know?"
In the stagnant carriage, Dead Leaf was burying her head in anger, but suddenly heard Zhan Hao's deep voice.He twisted his lips and snorted coldly, and tilted his head even more, leaving only the back of Zhan Hao's head.Seeing his little action, Zhan Hao's heart overflowed with compassion again.But as the emotion overflowed, another worry stung his nerves more and more - the more he cared, the deeper the injury, he had always understood this truth.
However, for the sake of the person in front of him, he was willing to suffer a little injury.Anyway, he has thick skin and a lot of experience, so he can withstand blows.
"I can tell you about Dai Yue last night, but you have to tell me what happened to the scar on your face."
Withered Ye turned her back, hearing his slow and clear words, she couldn't turn her head for a moment.He turned around suspiciously, frowned and looked at Zhan Hao.I saw him with a calm expression and calm eyes, looking at me without blinking, and already in the posture of listening.
"Why did you suddenly want to ask this question?" Seeing him like this, Dead Leaf frowned and looked at him with some distaste, as if blaming him for asking late.That's right, the two have been together for almost three months, and they had worked together for a while before, Zhan Hao didn't ask for so much time, but today he suddenly remembered it, it's really inexplicable.
Zhan Hao didn't respond to his words, just looked at him quietly with folded arms, still silent.Withered Ye stared at him for a while, then turned her face away uncomfortably: "Dai Yue came to look for you, didn't she tell you?" The voice was muffled, as if very uncomfortable.
"She said it," Zhan Hao said flatly, with no emotion in his low voice, "but I want to hear it from you."
Dead Leaf choked on his words, and opened her eyes for a while, not knowing what to do next.Zhan Hao looked at his ears protruding from his hair, and his pale neck that was not covered by his hair tied up, and waited patiently for his answer.
"Since you know everything, there's nothing else to say, it's embarrassing." Withered Leaf muttered, slowly turned her face around, lowered her eyes, and stared angrily at the floor of the carriage.
Zhan Hao's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice, "Is it ashamed to be hurt by Bai Yutang, or burned by Dai Yue?"
"It's embarrassing." Saying this unwillingly, Dead Leaf glared at Zhan Hao resentfully, as if she was blaming him for not being able to pick up topics, and which pot was not opened.Seeing his awkward appearance, Zhan Hao couldn't help showing a faint smile.He moved his body, sat directly opposite the dead leaf, put his shoe against his foot, absentmindedly touched him twice, lowered his eyes and said: "I heard that after you knew Bai Yutang, you often attacked him. ,Is it real?"
Withered Leaf stared at him with some dissatisfaction, raised her voice slightly and said, "What attack! I just... competed with him."
"Competition?" Zhan Hao squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of jokes: "I heard from Zhaozhao that you once let go and wanted to cut off his head. Is this a competition? This should be caused by love and hatred."
Hearing his guess like this, the dead leaf frowned all of a sudden, and roared with a vicious expression, "How many times have I told you that I don't like Bai Yutang! You also know that I want to kill him, so how can I like him?! "
Zhan Hao calmly raised his eyes to look at the dead leaves, and saw that his eyes were staring and his eyebrows were wrinkled, the exposed right cheek turned pale with anger.Zhan Hao squinted his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and there was some noncommittal in his flat tone: "Love breeds hatred, dare you say that you don't appreciate Bai Yutang at all?"
"You!... What kind of bullshit theory are you talking about!" Dead Leaf was so annoyed by his words, she rolled her eyes and sat down angrily, wishing to give him a punch in her heart: "What does he have that deserves my appreciation? He Isn't it just that the talent is a little higher than mine, and the master is a little better! Yes, he is worse than me, no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with him, and my skills are inferior to others! What's wrong with me? But why do I like him? Are you sure I like him?!"
Withered Ye stared at Zhan Hao, her cheeks turned from white to red, her eyes were full of unreasonable.Zhan Hao looked at him steadfastly, and calmly let go of the arms twisted around his chest, his fingers couldn't restrain his excitement, and gently grabbed the sleeves.He looked into Dead Leaf's eyes, looked at some hideous scars on his left face, and the smile on his face gradually became meaningful.
