During the New Year's Day, Wu Nong couldn't get out of bed, so Qi Ling would go to the market to buy some food. This place is not as prosperous as Xuntang, but it is not as barren as Nantang. There is a small river beside the street, and red lanterns are hung on both sides. It took seven days to unload it.

When Wu Nong was able to walk, Qi Ling took him to the market.

He originally disagreed, but Wu Nong said he had never seen it.Qi Ling thought to himself, this must be a lie to him.

But looking at Wu Nong's expression, it seemed that he hadn't lied anymore.Wu Nong said: "Although I haven't seen it, I'm naturally not interested in these things. It's just that this year it's rare to see you together..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but when he heard this, how could Qi Ling not hear it?

It was because he liked him that he said these words.

But there is no way, because he used to rely on Wu Nong to like him, and he also made a lot of demands.

After confirming that Wu Nong can really go to the fields, Qi Ling took him to the market.

This place is very small, even more remote than Nantang. When Qi Ling is free, he would think: How did Wu Nong find this place?After so many days, no one found them.

"This young man, can you help me pick it up?"

Qi Ling looked towards the source of the voice, took the lantern he handed over and put it aside.

The man said: "Last night was the last day of the annual meeting. The two young masters came out today, but it was too late."

Qi Ling chuckled: "It's okay, there will always be a chance to see you again in the future."

He helped the man put away all the lanterns, looked towards the end of the river, and asked, "Did you collect all these lanterns by yourself?"

"Yes." The man answered quickly, and said, "We don't have many lanterns in this small place, so I collect them by myself, just going up and down a few more times. Once the year is over, everyone will do their own things again. Return to the original place, and it will soon be clean."

Qi Ling looked back at Wu Nong, and Wu Nong also raised his eyes to look at him, but didn't speak.

They both understood what the other meant.

They had been missing for a long time, and they were disciples of the Linyang Sect after all. It was time to return to Qianhe Mountain after finishing their mission.

"Thank you for your help, young man." The man climbed down the stairs and said, "If it wasn't for you, I'd have to work all morning. The kid in this family is still waiting for me to go back and cook for him."

"It's okay." Qi Ling turned around and said to Wu Nong, "Let's go back."

Wu Nong knew that what he meant was to return to Qianhe Mountain.

Qi Ling saw the reluctance in his eyes, opened his mouth to persuade him, but heard the man say: "Master, this is... Xuntangchun's bag?"

Qi Ling was stunned for a second, looked at that person, and nodded.

But a few days ago, he went to the market to buy medicine for Wu Nong and forgot to bring an umbrella. In order to protect the medicine when he came back, his whole body was soaked. The dry tea leaves in this kit were useless after all.

"Chun Zailou's kits are all bought as gifts." The man said, "There is a saying that if the tea inside is soaked in water, the two of them will be together for a long time.

"My lord, this must be a gift bag from some girl." The man didn't notice the strange look on Qi Ling's face, and continued: "Since ancient times, such things are mostly initiated by men. If a girl takes the initiative to give you the bag, it must be I really admire the young master. I see the young master's appearance...the girl must have a beautiful appearance, right?"

Qi Ling didn't speak for a long while, and that person thought his words were too abrupt: "My lord, don't get me wrong, those words just now didn't mean anything at all, people around us can..."

"Hmm..." Qi Ling perfunctorily cleared his throat, and looked at Wu Nong unnaturally, "That girl's appearance... probably looks similar to him..."

The man choked, feeling that it would be strange to compare the appearance of a man to a girl, so he nodded with a smile, "Master, you are so lucky, so lucky."

After the man left, Qi Ling glanced at Wu Nong and said, "You liked me a long time ago?"

Wu Nong said lightly, "You're talking nonsense."

"..." Qi Ling thought to himself that he was really angry. If it wasn't for his lack of strength, the person who regarded him as a girl would have been beaten to the knees and begged for mercy.

"You gave me this, because you already knew about it?"

Wu Nong: "I don't know."

Qi Ling murmured: "No wonder."

"No wonder why?" Wu Nong's hearing suddenly improved, and he looked straight at Qi Ling with his phoenix eyes.

With his sickly appearance and sullen eyes, seeing his appearance, Qi Ling couldn't help but sneered, and replied: "No wonder, you didn't give me the kit until now."

"If you had known that this kit was so effective, you would have sneaked down the mountain when you were in Qianhe Mountain."

Wu Nong coughed a few times, Qi Ling stepped forward to put on the cloak that had slipped off for him, and said, "You have seen it outside, after the new year, there is nothing to see except the northwest wind, let's go back first."

Wu Nong lowered his head and coughed, but grabbed Qi Ling's hand on his shoulder, and suddenly raised his head, staring at Qi Ling with burning eyes.

Qi Ling was taken aback by his eyes, and wondered if he had said something wrong just now.

"Is it true what you said just now?" Wu Nong seemed to have exhausted all his strength in grabbing Qi Ling, but in fact it didn't hurt at all to Qi Ling, and he could break free with just a light struggle.

Qi Ling: "What?"

"Say... I'm the girl who adores you, say... I'll see you again in the future, during the Chinese New Year..." Wu Nong's voice became so weak that it was almost inaudible, followed by constant coughing.

No matter how strong a person is, they will show a somewhat pitiful appearance in the face of illness.

Qi Ling knew that Wu Nong didn't like to be pitied by others, so he helped him up, "Watch the New Year with you? Of course I can. But the first half of the sentence... Do you think you are like a girl who admires me?"

Wu Nong asked doubtfully, "I don't think I admire you?"

Qi Ling helped him on the way back, and said with a smile: "Like, but not like a girl. How can a girl be so careless about her reputation, and take the initiative to chase people from the beginning to the end?"

Wu Nong: "..."

Seeing his silence, Qi Ling also squinted his eyes, saw the sun rising not far away, and yawned, only then did he realize that he hadn't slept well in the past few days.

Suddenly, the people around him made a sound.

He said: "I just want to, you have nothing to do with it."

When the end of the new year passed and spring was approaching, Wu Nong's injuries had almost recovered.

In the next few days, in order to spend more time alone with Qi Ling, Wu Nong would use his internal force to force out the medicine after Qi Ling left.

Later, Qi Ling found out that he didn't speak to him for three consecutive days, but just made medicine for him every day as usual, but didn't even give him a look.

Wu Nong secretly got out of bed to look at Qi Ling, and saw him squatting in front of the medicine pot with a white porcelain bottle on the ground beside him.

Qi Ling yawned, but didn't notice that Wu Nong was standing behind him, he bent down and lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing his bandage-wrapped ankles.

Wu Nong's expression changed, Dang even couldn't hold back his voice, and snatched the medicine bottle from his hand: "What's wrong with your foot?"

Qi Ling didn't expect Wu Nong to come out, so he glanced at him, covered the corner of his clothes and turned sideways.

What else could be wrong?It was because the temple was too far away from the market, so he would go there every day to buy some food and medicine from Wu Nong.

Although this year has passed and spring is coming, it will still be cold, he doesn't know how to control a sword, and walking such a long distance every day will naturally wear out his feet.

And the person in front of him kept saying that he liked him.

He likes himself, even after drinking the medicine, he vomits it out, regardless of his worries about him.

It seems that he is about to reach the age of the crown, but he does not consider the consequences at all.

It was only now that Wu Nong knew that Qi Ling's foot was injured.

Blame the high priest for pretending too well, blame him for being too selfish to the high priest.

Wu Nong knelt down to change Qi Ling's dressing, neither of them said a word, only when Wu Nong touched the worn blisters on Qi Ling's feet, he would tremble uncontrollably.

Wu Nong tried his best to keep his movements light, and hugged Qi Ling without saying a word after finishing the tie.

Qi Ling was startled, and subconsciously hugged Wu Nong tightly, "You hurt..."

"It's been alright for a long time." Wu Nong went into the house and found the wooden sword, and found a cloak that he bought recently to cover Qi Ling, and said: "Now you are the one who is hurt, stay well."

Qi Ling asked: "Where are you going?"

"Xuntang." Wu Nong extinguished the fire to boil the medicine before leaving, "I'm going back, haven't you been waiting all this time?"

Qi Ling lowered his head and buried it in Wu Nong's arms.

The tone of his words seemed to be complaining that he didn't give them more time to be alone.

"Hurry up yourself." Wu Nong glanced at him, and Yu Jian took Qi Ling back.

After walking for half a day, the two returned to Xuntang, only to see Shen Changzhou alone. He was dressed in plain clothes, and under his indifferent face, it could be seen that things were not going well, as if he hadn't had a good rest.

Seeing the postures of the two, Shen Changzhou didn't feel that something was wrong, so Qi Ling squeezed Wu Nong, motioning him to put him down.

Wu Nong ignored him, and asked Shen Changzhou, "Have the others gone back?"

"Yes." Shen Changzhou nodded, saw the injury on Qi Ling's foot, and said, "Didn't you go back and find the head?"

"..." Wu Nong fell silent.

Seeing Wu Nong's unreasonable reaction, Qi Ling changed the subject: "Then why didn't you go back?"

Shen Changzhou: "It's the filial piety period, and I won't return in three months."

Both Shen Wan and Mrs. Shen are gone, Qi Ling didn't ask whether he was keeping his filial piety for Mrs. Shen alone or two.

Shen Changzhou turned to Wu Nong and said softly, "Come here, I have something to say."

Wu Nong hesitated for a second, Qi Ling struggled a few more times when he saw that he didn't respond, and said angrily, "How long are you going to do this, I'm not a cripple, let me down!"

"..." Wu Nong looked defensive, not knowing what Shen Changzhou was looking for.

Qi Ling was waiting in the room, seeing that the Shen mansion was hung with white silk, he remembered that he had sat here drinking tea a month ago.

In just one month, everything has changed dramatically.

All the servants of the Shen residence were dismissed, and because of Shen Wan, the Shen family was robbed of the mansion by the furious people. Now the Shen residence is lifeless, and only Shen Changzhou is the only one.

Qi Ling was sitting on the chair, feeling drowsy, when he suddenly heard Yang Pingzhu's voice, he woke up with a start.

When Yang Pingzhu saw Wu Nong, he knew that Qi Ling must be there, so he quickly entered the hall with a plate of pastries.

"Brother Qi... We have been looking for you for a long time."
