He turned his head and saw that his heartbeat was out of order. After Lu Huaizhen got out of the bath, he didn't even dry his body, so he put on his obscene clothes and trousers indiscriminately, so that most of the underwear and trousers were stuck to his skin. A little of the color and texture of the skin was revealed, and the strands of hair were also wet, and water droplets kept dripping down from the tip of the hair, and those eyes were full of anxiety, looking extremely pitiful.
He shook his head: "Huaizhen, you haven't offended me, so go and dry your body and hair."
"Really?" Lu Huaizhen was slightly taller than Xie Yanning, but she was curled up at the moment, and she seemed to be much shorter than Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning mistakenly thought that Lu Huaizhen shrunk into a small ball, and then said seriously: "Really."
He observed Lu Huaizhen's ankles, made sure they were healed, and grabbed Lu Huaizhen's wrists.
Lu Huaizhen suddenly felt that the part of the wrist that was pressed by Xie Yanning's fingertips was suddenly numb, and was dazed, so she called out in a low voice: "Master."
Xie Yanning saw that Lu Huaizhen was standing on the spot, motionless, and then let go of Lu Huaizhen's wrists, and with a single finger, a soft cloth fell into his palm.
He was about to wipe Lu Huaizhen's hair, and his lips and teeth suddenly made a strange noise: "I didn't treat you well before, but from now on, I will treat you well."
Lu Huaizhen was startled, and asked, "Master, what did you just say?"
Xie Yanning heard what he said, and didn't feel regretful. He looked at Lu Huaizhen who was terrified and surprised, thought for a while, and made a hasty but decisive decision: I will treat Huaizhen well, regardless of my Whether his identity will be exposed by Huai Zhen.
Therefore, he said again: "Huaizhen, from now on, this deity will treat you well."
Lu Huaizhen said sincerely and fearfully: "Although the master sometimes punishes the disciple, it is always because the disciple made a mistake first, and the master rescued the disciple from the sea of fire, and then raised the disciple. The kindness of the master is as great as a mountain. Unforgettable teeth."
Since he was born, only three people have treated him kindly, one is his mother, one is the little brother of Nanfeng Pavilion, and the other is Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning was moody, and he had indeed abused him mercilessly, but these abuses did not matter, after all, without Xie Yanning, he would have to sell his flesh and blood every day, just like what he saw in Nanfeng Pavilion, receiving at least three guests in one night , unless you meet a generous benefactor, you can relax a little bit, and only receive one guest.
And when Xie Yanning treated him well, it was really good. He invited the world-renowned Confucianism to teach him, asked the world's number one swordsman to teach him swordsmanship, and asked the rich tailor to help him. Tailor the clothes, please be the emperor's embroiderer to embroider on his clothes... and so on, there are too many to count.
Therefore, even if Xie Yanning abused him, he would accept it willingly, because no one else would treat him so well.
Even though Xie Yanning once trampled him under his feet mercilessly, laughing that he was just an incompetent tool, he still couldn't feel any hatred towards Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning's original intention was not to make Lu Huaizhen grateful. Hearing this, he was helpless, and then raised his hand to caress Lu Huaizhen's eyebrows, and said softly: "Huaizhen, pay more attention to yourself."
Lu Huaizhen didn't understand why Xie Yanning said this at all, but still said: "The disciple obeys."
Xie Yanning was speechless, and decided not to continue this topic, but pointed to a low stool beside him and said, "Sit down with your back facing the deity."
Lu Huaizhen didn't know what Xie Yanning was going to do, so she sat down with her back facing Xie Yanning in panic.
Xie Yanning reached out and lifted Lu Huaizhen's hair, and wiped it carefully.
Lu Huaizhen was born like a good-looking girl, with a graceful neck and fat skin, set off by thick ink-like hair, which is particularly eye-catching.
Faced with such a good-looking and obedient child, how could Father Lu be willing to sell him into Nanfeng Hall?
After the original body brought Lu Huaizhen back to Dufo Academy, he treated it as a fresh little object and raised it for a period of time. One day, on a whim, he ordered someone to capture Lu's father and sent a short sword into Lu Huai. Zhen's right palm.
At that time, Lu Huaizhen was about nine years old. Because the dagger was too heavy, her small right palm struggled to hold the hilt of the dagger, but she couldn't hold it at all. He fell to the ground and almost stabbed Lu Huaizhen's right foot.
At that time, the original body was drinking the wine made from deer blood and pomegranates, his lips were scarlet, and he said with a half-smile: "You don't want to take revenge? If it weren't for the scum in front of you, how could your mother die, and how could you be reduced to nothing?" The fire pit is almost becoming a device for people to vent?"
The little Lu Huaizhen's eyes were full of hatred, and he immediately picked up the dagger, but facing his father who was crying and begging for mercy, he couldn't do anything.
The scum was his father after all.
His right hand was caught off guard by someone. The man had a pair of scarlet lips. The scarlet lips were attached to his ear, and even stained his ear with scarlet red. He coaxed him with a deceptive voice Said: "Kill him."
In the next moment, the man exerted force, and the dagger in his hand sank into his father's heart.
Blood splashed from the opening, wet his face, and made him shudder.
After Lu's father died, Lu Huaizhen had nightmares day and night, and it took a full year to get better. There was almost only a skeleton left in his whole body, and the flesh under the skin had disappeared.
To Yuanshen, this was just an interesting patricide scene, but Yuanshen once hugged Lu Huaizhen in his arms to comfort him when Lu Huaizhen woke up from a start.
The original body did not do this to win people's hearts, it was purely a whim.
Yuanshen has never considered other people's thoughts and acted recklessly, but because of his style of doing things sometimes with a stick and sometimes with a candy, there are quite a few people who are loyal to him.
"Master." Hearing Lu Huaizhen call himself, Xie Yanning came back to his senses.
But it turned out that his hand stopped, no wonder Lu Huaizhen noticed that he was distracted.
He smiled at Lu Huaizhen, then patted Lu Huaizhen on the back and said, "Relax, I won't tear you apart."
"The disciple knows that the master will not tear the disciple into pieces. If the master wants to do this, he should have done it long ago. He won't wait for the disciple to grow up." Lu Huaizhen showed no fear on his face, "The disciple's flesh and blood are relatively weak now. I was much older at that time."
When Xie Yanning heard the words, her mouth seemed to contain a lotus, and she opened her lips and said, "Have you ever thought that you might be regarded as a vegetable by this deity?"
Lu Huaizhen nodded frankly, and said: "The disciple once thought that he might be regarded as a child prostitute by the master."
How did Lu Huaizhen grow from eight years old to 21 years old in fear?
Xie Yanning felt distressed beyond words, staring at Lu Huaizhen and asked: "Haven't you ever thought of running away from this deity?"
Lu Huaizhen denied, "I never thought about it, because Master is the third person who treats me well."
Xie Yanning knew in her heart that the first one was Mother Lu, and the second one was the poor man in the Nanfeng Hall.
But how could it be considered good to treat Lu Huaizhen in the original body?Lu Huaizhen is too good at appreciating the benefits of others.
The evil done by the original body to Lu Huaizhen is obviously far greater than the favor that the original body bestowed on Lu Huaizhen.
And the original body did not save Lu Huaizhen out of kindness in the first place.
Xie Yanning wiped Lu Huaizhen's hair dry, then put his right hand over Lu Huaizhen's heart, urged his inner breath, and dried Lu Huaizhen's obscene clothes and trousers.
"Thank you, Master." Lu Huaizhen lowered her head, her long hair was like a waterfall, parted on both sides, revealing a large white and greasy nape.
At this moment, he didn't even want to return the sun, he just wanted to make Lu Huaizhen and Yu Wanyan have a good relationship for a hundred years.
Because Lu Huaizhen has experienced dirty desires before, Lu Huaizhen has always hated things in bed. It is a great blessing for Lu Huaizhen to fall in love with Yu Wanyan. Refreshing, without losing the softness of her daughter's family, and she has a good impression of Lu Huaizhen, she is indeed a good match for Lu Huaizhen, why not... how about matching Lu Huaizhen and Yu Wanyan, right?
As for him, although he had friends during his lifetime, there are also lovers, relatives and friends among friends, and he is not indispensable.
He simply stayed in this world, right?
With this thought, he felt very unhappy in his heart, so he immediately suppressed this thought.
Lu Huaizhen suddenly felt two gentle gazes on the back of her neck, and her heart trembled, when she raised her head, she accidentally bumped into these two gazes, it was really gentle as water.
He had never seen Xie Yanning look at him like this, and his ears turned red immediately.
But... But Xie Yanning will definitely look at Yu Wanyan with a more gentle gaze, right?
Yu Wanyan is the one who can accompany Xie Yanning day and night, and who can kiss Xie Yanning at will.
And he... And he can taste Xie Yanning's lips and teeth only when Xie Yanning loses his mind.
He felt ashamed of his filthiness, but he really wanted Xie Yanning to lose his mind again.
Xie Yanning suddenly saw that Lu Huaizhen's ears were turning red, thinking that it should be caused by his inner breath, so he didn't think otherwise.
Lu Huaizhen looked away in a panic, and then lowered her head.
Xie Yanning felt that if Lu Huaizhen made a mistake, the child who was punished to stand couldn't help laughing, and asked the younger brother to bring a soft couch, and said: "Go and rest quickly."
Lu Huaizhen complied, and obediently lay down on the bed, with an extremely upright posture.
The moonlight was like water, as if it had been covered with a layer of tulle, it was reflected in Xie Yanning's eyes, causing Xie Yanning to suddenly turn her head away.
Xie Yanning went to drink Huangshan Maofeng again, Huangshan Maofeng was already completely cold, with a slightly bitter taste.
Because Xie Yanning was afraid that he might lose his sanity after dark, the two of them never drove at night, so that in early February, from the cold spring to the grass growing, neither of them could make it to Jiangnan Road.
On the fifth day of February, the two of them were finally approaching Jiangnan Road. At dusk, the two of them stayed overnight in an inn.
Not far from the inn, someone set up a small stage. The stage was covered with a white curtain, and behind the curtain was an old man and a young girl, preparing for a shadow play.
There are quite a few half-grown children gathered in front of the stage, but only a few adults.
Xie Yanning only watched the shadow puppet show once, and after dinner, she went out of the inn. First, she put a small piece of broken silver in the gong placed aside, and then stood at the end.
Lu Huaizhen naturally followed closely behind, but he didn't know that Xie Yanning was interested in shadow puppetry.
According to legend, the shadow puppet show was created by the minister Li Shaoweng to relieve the memory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after the death of his concubine Mrs. Li.
The shadow play performed today is "Meeting on a Broken Bridge".
White Snake, Herring, and Xu Xuan all appeared on the stage, accompanied by a well-rounded singing voice and appropriate music.
While eating caramel, Xie Yanning watched the shadow puppet show, and suddenly felt that he had returned to his childhood. When he was a child, his mother took him to the ancient town to play. The mother and son watched a shadow puppet show once in an old house in the Ming Dynasty. Although the performance was not "Meeting on a Broken Bridge" was "Picking Up Jade Bracelets", but he still couldn't help but his eyes turned slightly red.
If... If the mother did not give birth to him, but decisively chose to abort after the father's true face was exposed, then the mother must have had an incomparably brilliant life, right?
My mother was born in a scholarly family. My maternal grandmother is a knowledgeable university professor. My maternal grandfather is a world-renowned physicist. My mother is also a graduate student at University A, majoring in archeology. The Department of Archeology at University A is the top in the world. If If my mother can continue to study, she will definitely be able to make a difference in the field of archaeology, and she will not die at the age of 30.
When I think of my mother, no matter how sweet the caramel is, it also tastes bitter.
Xie Yanning was watching "Meeting on a Broken Bridge", while Lu Huaizhen was secretly watching Xie Yanning.
For some reason, Xie Yanning's mood suddenly fell.
Is it because of the shadow play?
But this shadow play is not sad, but romantic and touching.
He knew that he was not qualified to care about Xie Yanning, but he still whispered: "Master, do you have something on your mind?"
Xie Yanning gave Lu Huaizhen a sideways look, and instead of answering, took out a caramel from the oil paper bag and brought it to Lu Huaizhen's lips.
Xie Yanning's gaze seemed to hold a pool of water from the West Lake, causing Lu Huaizhen to sink into it continuously.
"Huaizhen." Seeing that Lu Huaizhen didn't eat the caramel on his fingertips, Xie Yanning asked aloud, "Aren't you addicted to sweets?"
Lu Huaizhen was almost drowned by Xie Yanning's gaze, and when Xie Yanning called her, she managed to recover and said flattered, "Why does Master know that this disciple is addicted to sweets?"
Xie Yanning replied: "I learned about it from Yuan Zhu."
"I see." When Lu Huaizhen happily took the caramel into her mouth, her lips accidentally rubbed against Xie Yanning's fingertips.
Xie Yanning's fingertips trembled slightly under the double impact of the touch of Lu Huaizhen's lips and the heat of Lu Huaizhen's breath.
He hurriedly withdrew his fingertips, then stuffed the oiled paper bag into Lu Huaizhen's arms, and said: "Give it to you to eat."
Lu Huaizhen and Xie Yanning have been together for a full 13 years, and naturally know that Xie Yanning is not addicted to sweets. When Xie Yanning bought caramel just now, he felt it was strange, but did Xie Yanning actually buy it for him to eat?
"Thank you for the reward, Master." He happily ate caramel, his lips and cheeks were sweet.
"Meeting on a Broken Bridge" hadn't finished yet, and he had already eaten up the caramel wrapped in oil paper.
Xie Yanning noticed that Lu Huaizhen was smacking his mouth, and couldn't help laughing: "If you still want to eat, just go buy some more."
Lu Huaizhen actually said: "Master, won't you blame the disciple for being greedy?"
Xie Yanning asked back: "Why does the deity blame you?"
Lu Huaizhen immediately went to buy caramel, and also bought a pot helmet filled with dried plums, vegetables and meat.
He respectfully presented the pot helmet to Xie Yanning before continuing to eat caramel.
Xie Yanning was originally depressed, but was cured by Lu Huaizhen.
He ate the pot helmet that had just come out of the oven, feeling warm in his heart.
Because both of them have outstanding appearance and extraordinary demeanor, standing in the crowd, they are too eye-catching, they will inevitably be stared at by the audience, and also attracted many passers-by to stop, and some people even focus on the two of them instead of shadow play.
Lu Huaizhen doesn't like being surrounded by others, this appearance is no different from a crime to him, but now his heart and eyes are full of Xie Yanning, and he has no time to care about him.
And Xie Yanning's appearance during his lifetime was also very eye-catching, and he has long been used to it.
After the performance of "Meeting on a Broken Bridge", some bold women surrounded them, and a woman even said bluntly: "May I ask if the two young masters are married?"
Lu Huaizhen subconsciously stood in front of Xie Yanning, but heard Xie Yanning say: "I am not married..."
Could it be that Xie Yanning is interested in the woman present?
He was uncertain, but he had no right to interfere with Xie Yanning's words and deeds.
He was so nervous that his whole body tensed up, and he smelled Xie Yanning and said: "But I have no plans to get married right now, thank you Madam for your kindness."
The woman asked courteously again: "Does your younger brother have any plans to marry?"
Lu Huaizhen shook her head and said, "I have no intention of getting married either."
All the girls dispersed in disappointment, and after a while, only Xie Yanning and Lu Huaizhen were left here.
Lu Huaizhen stared at Xie Yanning, and confirmed beyond the norm: "Master, do you really have no plans to get married?"
Xie Yanning is working hard to pay back his yang, it is impossible to stay in this world for a long time, and naturally it is impossible to get married, so he said seriously: "Seriously."
When Lu Huaizhen heard the words, she smiled openly as if she had received a promise.
As long as Xie Yanning is not married, he is the one closest to Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning asked doubtfully, "Don't you want me to marry a wife?"
Although Xie Yanning in front of him didn't have the slightest look of anger on his face, Lu Huaizhen expected that Xie Yanning might turn his face ruthlessly in the next moment, so she knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Yanning to admit her mistake: "I know that I have no right to intervene in Master's marriage. Condemnation."
The oiled paper bag was pressed under his left palm, as was part of the caramel, while the rest rushed out of the oiled paper bag, stained with dust, and turned from beige to jet black.
The original body really didn't like Lu Huaizhen interfering in the marriage, and would even beat Lu Huaizhen to the point of bruises.
But what lives in this skin now is not the original body—fortunately, it is not the original body.
As soon as he thought about this, he heard Lu Huaizhen humbly say: "I hope Master will forgive me."
Xie Yanning looked at Lu Huaizhen's back that was bent to the extreme, that back seemed to be broken in the next breath, breaking open the skin, making Lu Huaizhen dripping with blood, this thought made his heart ache.
He raised his hand to cover his heart, and then swept the caramel scattered around Lu Huaizhen's left palm, thinking about the decision he had made earlier, he did not stay in the original posture, but knelt down and rubbed Lu Huaizhen With her forehead hair, she said softly, "Huaizhen, get up now."
Lu Huaizhen glanced at Xie Yanning cautiously, then lowered her head again, and stood up obediently.
He barely stood still, but Xie Yanning grabbed his left wrist. His left hand trembled instinctively, but he didn't pull it out.
Xie Yanning clasped Lu Huaizhen's left wrist because he saw caramel sticking to Lu Huaizhen's palm. The caramel was slightly melted by the temperature of Lu Huaizhen's palm, making it sticky.
He looked at Lu Huaizhen's palm, and took a caramel from Lu Huaizhen's palm, but Lu Huaizhen was looking at him, and when he was not paying attention, boldly brushed his gaze on the back of his neck.
Naturally, Lu Huaizhen didn't dare to stare at that beautiful nape, and in a short while, she withdrew her gaze and focused her gaze on the caramel stand not far away.
He likes caramel, but never like this.
Not long after, he couldn't help but look back, and turned to look at the back of Xie Yanning's head.
He heard his heart screaming desperately: Master... Xie Yanning... Yan Ning... Yan Ning...
But he was afraid of being noticed by Xie Yanning, and in the end, he finally fixed his gaze on his own palm.
Xie Yanning's fingers ran back and forth on his palm, shiny and jade-like, with distinct joints, reminding him of those memories that should be buried in dust - Xie Yanning's hand that hooked the back of his neck, hugged his Xie Yanning's hand at the waist, Xie Yanning's hand interlocking his fingers...
He still clearly remembered the touch and temperature of that hand, but Xie Yanning should never do it again.
Xie Yan and Ningzai carefully removed the caramel from Lu Huaizhen's palm, and dragged Lu Huaizhen into the inn.
Lu Huaizhen's heart was beating violently, and he kept telling himself that the current Xie Yanning was sane and would never kiss him.
Sure enough, Xie Yanning didn't drag him into the room, but dragged him into the kitchen. After getting the chef's consent, Xie Yanning immediately scooped a ladle of water from the water tank, and then, holding the ladle in one hand, slowly poured it into the kitchen. He poured water down to rinse his left palm, while the other hand rubbed his palm to get the sugar solution off as quickly as possible.
The sticky syrup on the left palm soon disappeared most of it, Lu Huaizhen mistakenly thought that he and Xie Yanning were the only ones here, even though he was in the middle of the kitchen.
Xie Yanning's cultivation base was deep, and his breath was clear and shallow, but the breath hit his ear, but it forced his cochlea to roar.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he called out in a low voice: "Master."
Since he was accepted by Xie Yanning as an introductory disciple at the age of 11, he has called Xie Yanning his master. At that time, he thought it was just a title, but now when he called out these two words, he suddenly felt that he had eaten a lot of food. Gu's caramel, otherwise why would my heart be so sweet?
"Master." He called out again, and the end of his voice trembled slightly because Xie Yanning suddenly touched his fingers.
Xie Yanning was simply cleaning the residual sugar solution between his fingers, but he felt that the thin layer of skin was astonishingly hot.
"Huaizhen." Xie Yanning heard that Lu Huaizhen was calling her, so she also called Lu Huaizhen, and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing." Yan Hong quietly climbed onto Lu Huaizhen's ear, causing the already beautiful Lu Huaizhen to approach the bright moon in the sky, captivating people's hearts.
Xie Yanning scooped up another ladle of water to rinse Lu Huaizhen, then took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped Lu Huaizhen's five fingers dry.
During his lifetime, when he was in the orphanage, he often helped young children wash their hands, so he didn't think it was wrong.
But Lu Huaizhen in front of him was full of flattery.
He smiled, and after drying his hands, he raised his hand to caress Lu Huaizhen's eyebrows.
Lu Huaizhen's eyelids opened and closed subconsciously, and a pair of thick eyelashes rubbed against his fingertips, causing a slight itch.
He withdrew his hand, and said with concern: "Did your hand hurt from being hit by caramel just now?"
"It doesn't hurt." Xie Yanning was too gentle, Lu Huaizhen suddenly felt that she was about to drown in Xie Yanning's eyes.
"That's good." Xie Yanning said with a smile, "If you still want to eat caramel, you can go buy some more, but before you go to bed, remember to rinse your mouth with strong tea."
When the words fell, he turned around and left the kitchen. After reading "Meeting on a Broken Bridge", he should go back to his room to practice.
Lu Huaizhen hurriedly followed Xie Yanning, and said fawningly: "Master, do you still want to eat the pot helmet?"
Xie Yanning refused: "This deity has to go to practice."
"Then the disciple will not go to buy caramel." Lu Huaizhen followed Xie Yanning upstairs.
Xie Yanning pushed the door and entered, but saw Lu Huaizhen standing at the door, and said, "If you want to come in, come in."
Lu Huaizhen's eyes brightened: "Can the disciple really go in?"
Xie Yanning nodded and said: "Really, if you want, you can also withdraw your room and live with this deity."
Lu Huaizhen was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, staring at Xie Yanning and said: "Master, don't you despise this disciple?"
Xie Yanning asked back: "Why does this deity despise you?"
Since the [-]th of last month, he has never lost his mind at night, but just in case, it is safer to live with Lu Huaizhen when he is away from home.
Afraid of Xie Yanning's repentance, Lu Huaizhen hurriedly went downstairs and returned her room, and took her luggage from the room, and when she arrived at Xie Yanning's room, she asked her second brother to bring a soft couch.
Maybe Xie Yanning will be furious after a while because he invaded his private territory, but it is good to spend more time with Xie Yanning.
After taking a bath, Xie Yanning went to the bed and sat cross-legged.
Tang Yangxi has been missing for more than a month in search of the "Lovesick Bone", and her whereabouts are still unknown. If she goes to Jiangnan Road, it may be more than auspicious.
He must live and must not die.
In the middle of the night, a female voice suddenly sang outside: "I'm telling you now, if you listen to my words, if you like it, everything will be over. If you have an evil intention, the whole city will be full of blood, and everyone will climb the torrent , stepping on the muddy waves, all died unexpectedly."
——This aria comes from "The White Snake Yongzheng Leifeng Pagoda". When Xu Xuan found out that the White Snake was the Queen of the Snake Demon, he was terrified and didn't want to be married to the White Snake anymore. The White Snake refused and threatened the people of the whole city Xu Xuan.
The tone of this female voice is soft but cruel. I wonder if it is a female ghost who came out to wander around in the dark?
Lu Huaizhen immediately opened her eyes, opened the window hinge lightly, and saw a woman in white on the street, not a female ghost, but a mortal.
The woman smiled foolishly, and sang again: "If you are kind to me, you will see me with the Buddha's eyes; if you are not good, you will cause the people in a city to suffer, and they will all die!"
Lu Huaizhen glanced at Xie Yanning, saw that Xie Yanning was still meditating, so as not to disturb Xie Yanning, she immediately flew down from the window hinge, and arrived in front of the woman, intending to ask her not to sing anymore.
The woman didn't seem to see him, and sang three times: "'Time decays and ghosts trick people', what use is my life?"
——In "The White Snake Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda", Xu Xuannai sang this line before jumping into the lake because he couldn't get the White Snake, and couldn't find Fahai to collect the monsters.
After the woman sang, she ran wildly.
Lu Huaizhen looked around, and there was a river not far away, and the river was rushing.
With a little tiptoe, he passed the woman, and then stopped in front of the woman, anxiously said: "Why do you want to commit suicide?"
The woman ignored Lu Huaizhen and went to the left, but after a lot of effort, she couldn't get rid of Lu Huaizhen completely.
She tried hard with both hands, eager to push Lu Huaizhen away but failed.
Lu Huaizhen was as immobile as a mountain, and said in a deep voice, "Girl, you should be sober."
The woman had no choice but to look at Lu Huaizhen: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
Lu Huaizhen replied: "My name is Lu Huaizhen. I was afraid that the girl would commit suicide, so I blocked the girl's way."
"Short-sighted?" The woman chuckled lightly, "Why should I seek short-sightedness?"
Lu Huaizhen breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the woman jumping into the river.
The water splashed up, and the river water was about to swallow the woman, leaving only the white satin floating on the river surface, but with a snap of the fingers, this satin was also swallowed by the river water.
Seeing this, Lu Huaizhen immediately jumped up.
But he didn't expect that the turbulence of this river was far beyond what he had expected, and it was more than ten feet deep. There were countless eddies at the bottom of the river, and the water plants were overgrown. The water plants were pushed and pushed by the river water, swaying endlessly, like human hands.
He dived to the bottom of the river and searched for a quarter of an hour, but he couldn't find the woman.
He was a mediocre man, so he had to poke his head out of the river, panting heavily.
Afterwards, he swam in the direction of the current.
However, an hour later, he still hadn't found the woman.
Unless the woman has already landed, she must have drowned.
But the possibility of drowning is probably much higher than the possibility of survival: first, the woman does not want to live, and she will never go ashore by herself, and the woman is not necessarily good at water; The watchman didn't even see one, and I'm afraid no one would go into the water to save people like himself.
He didn't give up, and searched for more than a hour, but still failed, no one was alive, no dead body was found.
He went ashore dejectedly, only to realize that he had already left the city.
He didn't know if Xie Yanning would be worried about him, but he still used his body skills and went back to the city.
Before approaching the inn, he seemed to see a person standing at the door of the inn.
Why did that man stand at the door?Could it be... Could it be that Xie Yanning was waiting for him to go back?
Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but his heart was beating hard.
The closer he got to the inn, the more nervous he became, and he didn't dare to open his eyes. He closed them before looking up.
The person who came into view was actually Xie Yanning. He knelt on the ground and reported: "Two hours ago, I heard a female voice outside the window singing an excerpt from "The White Lady Yongzheng Leifeng Pagoda". It disturbed Master's cultivation, so I wanted to ask that girl not to sing anymore, but unexpectedly..."
At the age of eight, he went back to Dufo Academy with Xie Yanning. He was used to seeing corpses, but he had never seen a living person seeking death in front of his eyes.
After Xie Yanning finished training, seeing the dusk was dark, she planned to go to bed immediately, but Lu Huaizhen was nowhere to be seen.
He waited for half an hour, but still did not see Lu Huaizhen, but he knew that Lu Huaizhen would not act privately, and something must have happened to delay his return, so he couldn't help but left the room and stood in the inn At the door, waiting for Lu Huaizhen to come back.
Lu Huaizhen looked rather embarrassed, with disheveled hair and half-wet clothes.
He wanted to ask Lu Huaizhen what happened, but before he could open his lips, Lu Huaizhen knelt on the ground.
Noticing that Lu Huaizhen's voice was choking slightly, he sighed and continued: "Unexpectedly, did that woman commit suicide by jumping into the river?"
Lu Huaizhen nodded, his current mood was extremely complicated, on the one hand, he was ecstatic because Xie Yanning was waiting for him outside the inn, on the other hand, he was downcast because of the loss of a fresh life.
Under the interweaving of the two, he boldly said: "Master, can you give this disciple a hug?"
After all, he felt that he had fallen into a demon, how could he have the right to let Xie Yanning hug him?
He lowered his eyes and kowtowed heavily: "Master, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have such unreasonable thoughts."
He wanted to continue to kowtow, when suddenly a hand pressed his left shoulder.
The hand then snaked from his left shoulder to his chin, and raised his chin again.
The sound of kowtowing just now in the quiet night can be described as piercing clouds and cracking stones, Lu Huaizhen's forehead that was forced to be exposed to Xie Yanning's eyes really had a big gash, and blood gushed out.
Xie Yanning withdrew his hand, and was about to lift Lu Huaizhen up from the ground, but saw that after he withdrew his hand, Lu Huaizhen lowered his head again, and the back of his neck suddenly revealed a trace of loneliness.
He paused for a moment before lifting Lu Huaizhen up from the ground.
"Master." Lu Huaizhen didn't dare to look at Xie Yanning at all, the back of her neck was still bent.
Xie Yanning glanced at the radiating drops of blood lying on her feet, then softened her voice and said, "If you raise your head, this deity will do what you wish."
Lu Huaizhen raised her head, but her eyes were still lowered.
Xie Yanning no longer forced Lu Huaizhen, but reached out and hugged Lu Huaizhen into his arms: "Huaizhen, even if that woman really drowned, it was not your fault. I know that you have tried your best."
Xie Yanning's breath was close to her ears, and Lu Huaizhen's heart throbbed violently, but this was wrong.
Xie Yanning, who is sober, is willing to condescend to hug him, which is already a blessing from heaven, how can he covet him again because of this?
At this moment, Xie Yanning raised his hand and patted him on the back lightly. Although he was separated by layers of clothing, skin, flesh, and bone, he suddenly felt that Xie Yanning could touch him without barriers. His hot heart throbbed even more in an instant.
He didn't dare to hug Xie Yanning back, so he focused his attention, and then peeped at Xie Yanning's breath tremblingly, and reported the whole story to Xie Yanning, and then said: "The disciple should be able to save her life. Too incompetent."
After hearing this, Xie Yanning became suspicious. Lu Huaizhen was not an ordinary person. The woman was about to fall into the water, and she went into the water to save her. Why not only could she not save her, but she couldn't even see the woman's clothes?
He let go of Lu Huaizhen, and walked straight to the river not far away.
Lu Huaizhen stared at Xie Yanning's back in a daze, and then at his boldly outstretched arms, terrified: Master really thinks I'm too incompetent?
After careful calculation, he has been really unfavorable recently: first, he couldn't find the "Lovesickness Bone"; It was the woman just now.
One pile after another proved that he is actually a waste.
A trash like him can't do anything but wishful thinking.
Xie Yanning shouldn't have saved him back then, why did Xie Yanning save him out of kindness?
He was full of belittling himself, but the corner of his eyes told him that Xie Yanning had fallen into the water.
"Master!" He cried out and flew into the water.
Xie Yanning was familiar with the nature of water during his lifetime, and the water quality of this body is not bad either. Because of the obstacles of the river, he couldn't hear Lu Huaizhen's almost desperate cry at all.
The water is dark, and the bottom of the river is full of eddies. Its turbulence reaches the vast ocean, and it can indeed wash away people in an instant. Moreover, this river is only a branch water vein, which is connected with the entire Jiangnan Road water system and reaches the East China Sea.
That woman was unlucky and was washed away too quickly, so Lu Huaizhen couldn't save her, and it wasn't Lu Huaizhen's fault in the final analysis.
With a conclusion, he went ashore and looked around, but Lu Huaizhen was nowhere to be seen.
"Huaizhen!" He took a closer look, only to find that there was Lu Huaizhen's daily handkerchief on the river.
Could it be that Lu Huaizhen went into the water again to save him?
Presumably the sound was not strong enough to break through the river, so he changed it to sound transmission: Huaizhen, the deity is already on the shore, come up now.
It was already late at night, and the river was even darker. Lu Huaizhen had difficulty seeing things, and most of them relied on groping with his hands.
His left foot suddenly froze, probably because it was entangled by the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, right?
He stretched out his hand to find out what aquatic plants were there, and it was a soft and slippery water snake.
He was about to push the water snake away, but was bitten by the water snake. Fortunately, the water snake was not poisonous.
After the water snake bit him, it disappeared. I wonder if there are other living creatures in the river?
At this moment, Xie Yanning's voice transmission suddenly fell into his ears, and he was so happy that he immediately replied: "The disciple will go up now."
He was in the river, he shouldn't have opened his mouth to speak, so he choked on a big mouthful of water.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable, and immediately sent a voice message: Master, this disciple will go up now.
He went to the bank, and there was Xie Yanning standing on the bank of the river. When Xie Yanning's eyes swept over him, the panic deeply embedded in his heart suddenly grew wildly. He clearly went into the water for Xie Yanning. Xie Yanning had already landed, but he was injured. , he was extremely incompetent and humiliated his master.
Xie Yanning saw Lu Huaizhen bowed her head and said nothing
He shook his head: "Huaizhen, you haven't offended me, so go and dry your body and hair."
"Really?" Lu Huaizhen was slightly taller than Xie Yanning, but she was curled up at the moment, and she seemed to be much shorter than Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning mistakenly thought that Lu Huaizhen shrunk into a small ball, and then said seriously: "Really."
He observed Lu Huaizhen's ankles, made sure they were healed, and grabbed Lu Huaizhen's wrists.
Lu Huaizhen suddenly felt that the part of the wrist that was pressed by Xie Yanning's fingertips was suddenly numb, and was dazed, so she called out in a low voice: "Master."
Xie Yanning saw that Lu Huaizhen was standing on the spot, motionless, and then let go of Lu Huaizhen's wrists, and with a single finger, a soft cloth fell into his palm.
He was about to wipe Lu Huaizhen's hair, and his lips and teeth suddenly made a strange noise: "I didn't treat you well before, but from now on, I will treat you well."
Lu Huaizhen was startled, and asked, "Master, what did you just say?"
Xie Yanning heard what he said, and didn't feel regretful. He looked at Lu Huaizhen who was terrified and surprised, thought for a while, and made a hasty but decisive decision: I will treat Huaizhen well, regardless of my Whether his identity will be exposed by Huai Zhen.
Therefore, he said again: "Huaizhen, from now on, this deity will treat you well."
Lu Huaizhen said sincerely and fearfully: "Although the master sometimes punishes the disciple, it is always because the disciple made a mistake first, and the master rescued the disciple from the sea of fire, and then raised the disciple. The kindness of the master is as great as a mountain. Unforgettable teeth."
Since he was born, only three people have treated him kindly, one is his mother, one is the little brother of Nanfeng Pavilion, and the other is Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning was moody, and he had indeed abused him mercilessly, but these abuses did not matter, after all, without Xie Yanning, he would have to sell his flesh and blood every day, just like what he saw in Nanfeng Pavilion, receiving at least three guests in one night , unless you meet a generous benefactor, you can relax a little bit, and only receive one guest.
And when Xie Yanning treated him well, it was really good. He invited the world-renowned Confucianism to teach him, asked the world's number one swordsman to teach him swordsmanship, and asked the rich tailor to help him. Tailor the clothes, please be the emperor's embroiderer to embroider on his clothes... and so on, there are too many to count.
Therefore, even if Xie Yanning abused him, he would accept it willingly, because no one else would treat him so well.
Even though Xie Yanning once trampled him under his feet mercilessly, laughing that he was just an incompetent tool, he still couldn't feel any hatred towards Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning's original intention was not to make Lu Huaizhen grateful. Hearing this, he was helpless, and then raised his hand to caress Lu Huaizhen's eyebrows, and said softly: "Huaizhen, pay more attention to yourself."
Lu Huaizhen didn't understand why Xie Yanning said this at all, but still said: "The disciple obeys."
Xie Yanning was speechless, and decided not to continue this topic, but pointed to a low stool beside him and said, "Sit down with your back facing the deity."
Lu Huaizhen didn't know what Xie Yanning was going to do, so she sat down with her back facing Xie Yanning in panic.
Xie Yanning reached out and lifted Lu Huaizhen's hair, and wiped it carefully.
Lu Huaizhen was born like a good-looking girl, with a graceful neck and fat skin, set off by thick ink-like hair, which is particularly eye-catching.
Faced with such a good-looking and obedient child, how could Father Lu be willing to sell him into Nanfeng Hall?
After the original body brought Lu Huaizhen back to Dufo Academy, he treated it as a fresh little object and raised it for a period of time. One day, on a whim, he ordered someone to capture Lu's father and sent a short sword into Lu Huai. Zhen's right palm.
At that time, Lu Huaizhen was about nine years old. Because the dagger was too heavy, her small right palm struggled to hold the hilt of the dagger, but she couldn't hold it at all. He fell to the ground and almost stabbed Lu Huaizhen's right foot.
At that time, the original body was drinking the wine made from deer blood and pomegranates, his lips were scarlet, and he said with a half-smile: "You don't want to take revenge? If it weren't for the scum in front of you, how could your mother die, and how could you be reduced to nothing?" The fire pit is almost becoming a device for people to vent?"
The little Lu Huaizhen's eyes were full of hatred, and he immediately picked up the dagger, but facing his father who was crying and begging for mercy, he couldn't do anything.
The scum was his father after all.
His right hand was caught off guard by someone. The man had a pair of scarlet lips. The scarlet lips were attached to his ear, and even stained his ear with scarlet red. He coaxed him with a deceptive voice Said: "Kill him."
In the next moment, the man exerted force, and the dagger in his hand sank into his father's heart.
Blood splashed from the opening, wet his face, and made him shudder.
After Lu's father died, Lu Huaizhen had nightmares day and night, and it took a full year to get better. There was almost only a skeleton left in his whole body, and the flesh under the skin had disappeared.
To Yuanshen, this was just an interesting patricide scene, but Yuanshen once hugged Lu Huaizhen in his arms to comfort him when Lu Huaizhen woke up from a start.
The original body did not do this to win people's hearts, it was purely a whim.
Yuanshen has never considered other people's thoughts and acted recklessly, but because of his style of doing things sometimes with a stick and sometimes with a candy, there are quite a few people who are loyal to him.
"Master." Hearing Lu Huaizhen call himself, Xie Yanning came back to his senses.
But it turned out that his hand stopped, no wonder Lu Huaizhen noticed that he was distracted.
He smiled at Lu Huaizhen, then patted Lu Huaizhen on the back and said, "Relax, I won't tear you apart."
"The disciple knows that the master will not tear the disciple into pieces. If the master wants to do this, he should have done it long ago. He won't wait for the disciple to grow up." Lu Huaizhen showed no fear on his face, "The disciple's flesh and blood are relatively weak now. I was much older at that time."
When Xie Yanning heard the words, her mouth seemed to contain a lotus, and she opened her lips and said, "Have you ever thought that you might be regarded as a vegetable by this deity?"
Lu Huaizhen nodded frankly, and said: "The disciple once thought that he might be regarded as a child prostitute by the master."
How did Lu Huaizhen grow from eight years old to 21 years old in fear?
Xie Yanning felt distressed beyond words, staring at Lu Huaizhen and asked: "Haven't you ever thought of running away from this deity?"
Lu Huaizhen denied, "I never thought about it, because Master is the third person who treats me well."
Xie Yanning knew in her heart that the first one was Mother Lu, and the second one was the poor man in the Nanfeng Hall.
But how could it be considered good to treat Lu Huaizhen in the original body?Lu Huaizhen is too good at appreciating the benefits of others.
The evil done by the original body to Lu Huaizhen is obviously far greater than the favor that the original body bestowed on Lu Huaizhen.
And the original body did not save Lu Huaizhen out of kindness in the first place.
Xie Yanning wiped Lu Huaizhen's hair dry, then put his right hand over Lu Huaizhen's heart, urged his inner breath, and dried Lu Huaizhen's obscene clothes and trousers.
"Thank you, Master." Lu Huaizhen lowered her head, her long hair was like a waterfall, parted on both sides, revealing a large white and greasy nape.
At this moment, he didn't even want to return the sun, he just wanted to make Lu Huaizhen and Yu Wanyan have a good relationship for a hundred years.
Because Lu Huaizhen has experienced dirty desires before, Lu Huaizhen has always hated things in bed. It is a great blessing for Lu Huaizhen to fall in love with Yu Wanyan. Refreshing, without losing the softness of her daughter's family, and she has a good impression of Lu Huaizhen, she is indeed a good match for Lu Huaizhen, why not... how about matching Lu Huaizhen and Yu Wanyan, right?
As for him, although he had friends during his lifetime, there are also lovers, relatives and friends among friends, and he is not indispensable.
He simply stayed in this world, right?
With this thought, he felt very unhappy in his heart, so he immediately suppressed this thought.
Lu Huaizhen suddenly felt two gentle gazes on the back of her neck, and her heart trembled, when she raised her head, she accidentally bumped into these two gazes, it was really gentle as water.
He had never seen Xie Yanning look at him like this, and his ears turned red immediately.
But... But Xie Yanning will definitely look at Yu Wanyan with a more gentle gaze, right?
Yu Wanyan is the one who can accompany Xie Yanning day and night, and who can kiss Xie Yanning at will.
And he... And he can taste Xie Yanning's lips and teeth only when Xie Yanning loses his mind.
He felt ashamed of his filthiness, but he really wanted Xie Yanning to lose his mind again.
Xie Yanning suddenly saw that Lu Huaizhen's ears were turning red, thinking that it should be caused by his inner breath, so he didn't think otherwise.
Lu Huaizhen looked away in a panic, and then lowered her head.
Xie Yanning felt that if Lu Huaizhen made a mistake, the child who was punished to stand couldn't help laughing, and asked the younger brother to bring a soft couch, and said: "Go and rest quickly."
Lu Huaizhen complied, and obediently lay down on the bed, with an extremely upright posture.
The moonlight was like water, as if it had been covered with a layer of tulle, it was reflected in Xie Yanning's eyes, causing Xie Yanning to suddenly turn her head away.
Xie Yanning went to drink Huangshan Maofeng again, Huangshan Maofeng was already completely cold, with a slightly bitter taste.
Because Xie Yanning was afraid that he might lose his sanity after dark, the two of them never drove at night, so that in early February, from the cold spring to the grass growing, neither of them could make it to Jiangnan Road.
On the fifth day of February, the two of them were finally approaching Jiangnan Road. At dusk, the two of them stayed overnight in an inn.
Not far from the inn, someone set up a small stage. The stage was covered with a white curtain, and behind the curtain was an old man and a young girl, preparing for a shadow play.
There are quite a few half-grown children gathered in front of the stage, but only a few adults.
Xie Yanning only watched the shadow puppet show once, and after dinner, she went out of the inn. First, she put a small piece of broken silver in the gong placed aside, and then stood at the end.
Lu Huaizhen naturally followed closely behind, but he didn't know that Xie Yanning was interested in shadow puppetry.
According to legend, the shadow puppet show was created by the minister Li Shaoweng to relieve the memory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after the death of his concubine Mrs. Li.
The shadow play performed today is "Meeting on a Broken Bridge".
White Snake, Herring, and Xu Xuan all appeared on the stage, accompanied by a well-rounded singing voice and appropriate music.
While eating caramel, Xie Yanning watched the shadow puppet show, and suddenly felt that he had returned to his childhood. When he was a child, his mother took him to the ancient town to play. The mother and son watched a shadow puppet show once in an old house in the Ming Dynasty. Although the performance was not "Meeting on a Broken Bridge" was "Picking Up Jade Bracelets", but he still couldn't help but his eyes turned slightly red.
If... If the mother did not give birth to him, but decisively chose to abort after the father's true face was exposed, then the mother must have had an incomparably brilliant life, right?
My mother was born in a scholarly family. My maternal grandmother is a knowledgeable university professor. My maternal grandfather is a world-renowned physicist. My mother is also a graduate student at University A, majoring in archeology. The Department of Archeology at University A is the top in the world. If If my mother can continue to study, she will definitely be able to make a difference in the field of archaeology, and she will not die at the age of 30.
When I think of my mother, no matter how sweet the caramel is, it also tastes bitter.
Xie Yanning was watching "Meeting on a Broken Bridge", while Lu Huaizhen was secretly watching Xie Yanning.
For some reason, Xie Yanning's mood suddenly fell.
Is it because of the shadow play?
But this shadow play is not sad, but romantic and touching.
He knew that he was not qualified to care about Xie Yanning, but he still whispered: "Master, do you have something on your mind?"
Xie Yanning gave Lu Huaizhen a sideways look, and instead of answering, took out a caramel from the oil paper bag and brought it to Lu Huaizhen's lips.
Xie Yanning's gaze seemed to hold a pool of water from the West Lake, causing Lu Huaizhen to sink into it continuously.
"Huaizhen." Seeing that Lu Huaizhen didn't eat the caramel on his fingertips, Xie Yanning asked aloud, "Aren't you addicted to sweets?"
Lu Huaizhen was almost drowned by Xie Yanning's gaze, and when Xie Yanning called her, she managed to recover and said flattered, "Why does Master know that this disciple is addicted to sweets?"
Xie Yanning replied: "I learned about it from Yuan Zhu."
"I see." When Lu Huaizhen happily took the caramel into her mouth, her lips accidentally rubbed against Xie Yanning's fingertips.
Xie Yanning's fingertips trembled slightly under the double impact of the touch of Lu Huaizhen's lips and the heat of Lu Huaizhen's breath.
He hurriedly withdrew his fingertips, then stuffed the oiled paper bag into Lu Huaizhen's arms, and said: "Give it to you to eat."
Lu Huaizhen and Xie Yanning have been together for a full 13 years, and naturally know that Xie Yanning is not addicted to sweets. When Xie Yanning bought caramel just now, he felt it was strange, but did Xie Yanning actually buy it for him to eat?
"Thank you for the reward, Master." He happily ate caramel, his lips and cheeks were sweet.
"Meeting on a Broken Bridge" hadn't finished yet, and he had already eaten up the caramel wrapped in oil paper.
Xie Yanning noticed that Lu Huaizhen was smacking his mouth, and couldn't help laughing: "If you still want to eat, just go buy some more."
Lu Huaizhen actually said: "Master, won't you blame the disciple for being greedy?"
Xie Yanning asked back: "Why does the deity blame you?"
Lu Huaizhen immediately went to buy caramel, and also bought a pot helmet filled with dried plums, vegetables and meat.
He respectfully presented the pot helmet to Xie Yanning before continuing to eat caramel.
Xie Yanning was originally depressed, but was cured by Lu Huaizhen.
He ate the pot helmet that had just come out of the oven, feeling warm in his heart.
Because both of them have outstanding appearance and extraordinary demeanor, standing in the crowd, they are too eye-catching, they will inevitably be stared at by the audience, and also attracted many passers-by to stop, and some people even focus on the two of them instead of shadow play.
Lu Huaizhen doesn't like being surrounded by others, this appearance is no different from a crime to him, but now his heart and eyes are full of Xie Yanning, and he has no time to care about him.
And Xie Yanning's appearance during his lifetime was also very eye-catching, and he has long been used to it.
After the performance of "Meeting on a Broken Bridge", some bold women surrounded them, and a woman even said bluntly: "May I ask if the two young masters are married?"
Lu Huaizhen subconsciously stood in front of Xie Yanning, but heard Xie Yanning say: "I am not married..."
Could it be that Xie Yanning is interested in the woman present?
He was uncertain, but he had no right to interfere with Xie Yanning's words and deeds.
He was so nervous that his whole body tensed up, and he smelled Xie Yanning and said: "But I have no plans to get married right now, thank you Madam for your kindness."
The woman asked courteously again: "Does your younger brother have any plans to marry?"
Lu Huaizhen shook her head and said, "I have no intention of getting married either."
All the girls dispersed in disappointment, and after a while, only Xie Yanning and Lu Huaizhen were left here.
Lu Huaizhen stared at Xie Yanning, and confirmed beyond the norm: "Master, do you really have no plans to get married?"
Xie Yanning is working hard to pay back his yang, it is impossible to stay in this world for a long time, and naturally it is impossible to get married, so he said seriously: "Seriously."
When Lu Huaizhen heard the words, she smiled openly as if she had received a promise.
As long as Xie Yanning is not married, he is the one closest to Xie Yanning.
Xie Yanning asked doubtfully, "Don't you want me to marry a wife?"
Although Xie Yanning in front of him didn't have the slightest look of anger on his face, Lu Huaizhen expected that Xie Yanning might turn his face ruthlessly in the next moment, so she knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Yanning to admit her mistake: "I know that I have no right to intervene in Master's marriage. Condemnation."
The oiled paper bag was pressed under his left palm, as was part of the caramel, while the rest rushed out of the oiled paper bag, stained with dust, and turned from beige to jet black.
The original body really didn't like Lu Huaizhen interfering in the marriage, and would even beat Lu Huaizhen to the point of bruises.
But what lives in this skin now is not the original body—fortunately, it is not the original body.
As soon as he thought about this, he heard Lu Huaizhen humbly say: "I hope Master will forgive me."
Xie Yanning looked at Lu Huaizhen's back that was bent to the extreme, that back seemed to be broken in the next breath, breaking open the skin, making Lu Huaizhen dripping with blood, this thought made his heart ache.
He raised his hand to cover his heart, and then swept the caramel scattered around Lu Huaizhen's left palm, thinking about the decision he had made earlier, he did not stay in the original posture, but knelt down and rubbed Lu Huaizhen With her forehead hair, she said softly, "Huaizhen, get up now."
Lu Huaizhen glanced at Xie Yanning cautiously, then lowered her head again, and stood up obediently.
He barely stood still, but Xie Yanning grabbed his left wrist. His left hand trembled instinctively, but he didn't pull it out.
Xie Yanning clasped Lu Huaizhen's left wrist because he saw caramel sticking to Lu Huaizhen's palm. The caramel was slightly melted by the temperature of Lu Huaizhen's palm, making it sticky.
He looked at Lu Huaizhen's palm, and took a caramel from Lu Huaizhen's palm, but Lu Huaizhen was looking at him, and when he was not paying attention, boldly brushed his gaze on the back of his neck.
Naturally, Lu Huaizhen didn't dare to stare at that beautiful nape, and in a short while, she withdrew her gaze and focused her gaze on the caramel stand not far away.
He likes caramel, but never like this.
Not long after, he couldn't help but look back, and turned to look at the back of Xie Yanning's head.
He heard his heart screaming desperately: Master... Xie Yanning... Yan Ning... Yan Ning...
But he was afraid of being noticed by Xie Yanning, and in the end, he finally fixed his gaze on his own palm.
Xie Yanning's fingers ran back and forth on his palm, shiny and jade-like, with distinct joints, reminding him of those memories that should be buried in dust - Xie Yanning's hand that hooked the back of his neck, hugged his Xie Yanning's hand at the waist, Xie Yanning's hand interlocking his fingers...
He still clearly remembered the touch and temperature of that hand, but Xie Yanning should never do it again.
Xie Yan and Ningzai carefully removed the caramel from Lu Huaizhen's palm, and dragged Lu Huaizhen into the inn.
Lu Huaizhen's heart was beating violently, and he kept telling himself that the current Xie Yanning was sane and would never kiss him.
Sure enough, Xie Yanning didn't drag him into the room, but dragged him into the kitchen. After getting the chef's consent, Xie Yanning immediately scooped a ladle of water from the water tank, and then, holding the ladle in one hand, slowly poured it into the kitchen. He poured water down to rinse his left palm, while the other hand rubbed his palm to get the sugar solution off as quickly as possible.
The sticky syrup on the left palm soon disappeared most of it, Lu Huaizhen mistakenly thought that he and Xie Yanning were the only ones here, even though he was in the middle of the kitchen.
Xie Yanning's cultivation base was deep, and his breath was clear and shallow, but the breath hit his ear, but it forced his cochlea to roar.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so he called out in a low voice: "Master."
Since he was accepted by Xie Yanning as an introductory disciple at the age of 11, he has called Xie Yanning his master. At that time, he thought it was just a title, but now when he called out these two words, he suddenly felt that he had eaten a lot of food. Gu's caramel, otherwise why would my heart be so sweet?
"Master." He called out again, and the end of his voice trembled slightly because Xie Yanning suddenly touched his fingers.
Xie Yanning was simply cleaning the residual sugar solution between his fingers, but he felt that the thin layer of skin was astonishingly hot.
"Huaizhen." Xie Yanning heard that Lu Huaizhen was calling her, so she also called Lu Huaizhen, and asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing." Yan Hong quietly climbed onto Lu Huaizhen's ear, causing the already beautiful Lu Huaizhen to approach the bright moon in the sky, captivating people's hearts.
Xie Yanning scooped up another ladle of water to rinse Lu Huaizhen, then took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped Lu Huaizhen's five fingers dry.
During his lifetime, when he was in the orphanage, he often helped young children wash their hands, so he didn't think it was wrong.
But Lu Huaizhen in front of him was full of flattery.
He smiled, and after drying his hands, he raised his hand to caress Lu Huaizhen's eyebrows.
Lu Huaizhen's eyelids opened and closed subconsciously, and a pair of thick eyelashes rubbed against his fingertips, causing a slight itch.
He withdrew his hand, and said with concern: "Did your hand hurt from being hit by caramel just now?"
"It doesn't hurt." Xie Yanning was too gentle, Lu Huaizhen suddenly felt that she was about to drown in Xie Yanning's eyes.
"That's good." Xie Yanning said with a smile, "If you still want to eat caramel, you can go buy some more, but before you go to bed, remember to rinse your mouth with strong tea."
When the words fell, he turned around and left the kitchen. After reading "Meeting on a Broken Bridge", he should go back to his room to practice.
Lu Huaizhen hurriedly followed Xie Yanning, and said fawningly: "Master, do you still want to eat the pot helmet?"
Xie Yanning refused: "This deity has to go to practice."
"Then the disciple will not go to buy caramel." Lu Huaizhen followed Xie Yanning upstairs.
Xie Yanning pushed the door and entered, but saw Lu Huaizhen standing at the door, and said, "If you want to come in, come in."
Lu Huaizhen's eyes brightened: "Can the disciple really go in?"
Xie Yanning nodded and said: "Really, if you want, you can also withdraw your room and live with this deity."
Lu Huaizhen was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, staring at Xie Yanning and said: "Master, don't you despise this disciple?"
Xie Yanning asked back: "Why does this deity despise you?"
Since the [-]th of last month, he has never lost his mind at night, but just in case, it is safer to live with Lu Huaizhen when he is away from home.
Afraid of Xie Yanning's repentance, Lu Huaizhen hurriedly went downstairs and returned her room, and took her luggage from the room, and when she arrived at Xie Yanning's room, she asked her second brother to bring a soft couch.
Maybe Xie Yanning will be furious after a while because he invaded his private territory, but it is good to spend more time with Xie Yanning.
After taking a bath, Xie Yanning went to the bed and sat cross-legged.
Tang Yangxi has been missing for more than a month in search of the "Lovesick Bone", and her whereabouts are still unknown. If she goes to Jiangnan Road, it may be more than auspicious.
He must live and must not die.
In the middle of the night, a female voice suddenly sang outside: "I'm telling you now, if you listen to my words, if you like it, everything will be over. If you have an evil intention, the whole city will be full of blood, and everyone will climb the torrent , stepping on the muddy waves, all died unexpectedly."
——This aria comes from "The White Snake Yongzheng Leifeng Pagoda". When Xu Xuan found out that the White Snake was the Queen of the Snake Demon, he was terrified and didn't want to be married to the White Snake anymore. The White Snake refused and threatened the people of the whole city Xu Xuan.
The tone of this female voice is soft but cruel. I wonder if it is a female ghost who came out to wander around in the dark?
Lu Huaizhen immediately opened her eyes, opened the window hinge lightly, and saw a woman in white on the street, not a female ghost, but a mortal.
The woman smiled foolishly, and sang again: "If you are kind to me, you will see me with the Buddha's eyes; if you are not good, you will cause the people in a city to suffer, and they will all die!"
Lu Huaizhen glanced at Xie Yanning, saw that Xie Yanning was still meditating, so as not to disturb Xie Yanning, she immediately flew down from the window hinge, and arrived in front of the woman, intending to ask her not to sing anymore.
The woman didn't seem to see him, and sang three times: "'Time decays and ghosts trick people', what use is my life?"
——In "The White Snake Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda", Xu Xuannai sang this line before jumping into the lake because he couldn't get the White Snake, and couldn't find Fahai to collect the monsters.
After the woman sang, she ran wildly.
Lu Huaizhen looked around, and there was a river not far away, and the river was rushing.
With a little tiptoe, he passed the woman, and then stopped in front of the woman, anxiously said: "Why do you want to commit suicide?"
The woman ignored Lu Huaizhen and went to the left, but after a lot of effort, she couldn't get rid of Lu Huaizhen completely.
She tried hard with both hands, eager to push Lu Huaizhen away but failed.
Lu Huaizhen was as immobile as a mountain, and said in a deep voice, "Girl, you should be sober."
The woman had no choice but to look at Lu Huaizhen: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
Lu Huaizhen replied: "My name is Lu Huaizhen. I was afraid that the girl would commit suicide, so I blocked the girl's way."
"Short-sighted?" The woman chuckled lightly, "Why should I seek short-sightedness?"
Lu Huaizhen breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the woman jumping into the river.
The water splashed up, and the river water was about to swallow the woman, leaving only the white satin floating on the river surface, but with a snap of the fingers, this satin was also swallowed by the river water.
Seeing this, Lu Huaizhen immediately jumped up.
But he didn't expect that the turbulence of this river was far beyond what he had expected, and it was more than ten feet deep. There were countless eddies at the bottom of the river, and the water plants were overgrown. The water plants were pushed and pushed by the river water, swaying endlessly, like human hands.
He dived to the bottom of the river and searched for a quarter of an hour, but he couldn't find the woman.
He was a mediocre man, so he had to poke his head out of the river, panting heavily.
Afterwards, he swam in the direction of the current.
However, an hour later, he still hadn't found the woman.
Unless the woman has already landed, she must have drowned.
But the possibility of drowning is probably much higher than the possibility of survival: first, the woman does not want to live, and she will never go ashore by herself, and the woman is not necessarily good at water; The watchman didn't even see one, and I'm afraid no one would go into the water to save people like himself.
He didn't give up, and searched for more than a hour, but still failed, no one was alive, no dead body was found.
He went ashore dejectedly, only to realize that he had already left the city.
He didn't know if Xie Yanning would be worried about him, but he still used his body skills and went back to the city.
Before approaching the inn, he seemed to see a person standing at the door of the inn.
Why did that man stand at the door?Could it be... Could it be that Xie Yanning was waiting for him to go back?
Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but his heart was beating hard.
The closer he got to the inn, the more nervous he became, and he didn't dare to open his eyes. He closed them before looking up.
The person who came into view was actually Xie Yanning. He knelt on the ground and reported: "Two hours ago, I heard a female voice outside the window singing an excerpt from "The White Lady Yongzheng Leifeng Pagoda". It disturbed Master's cultivation, so I wanted to ask that girl not to sing anymore, but unexpectedly..."
At the age of eight, he went back to Dufo Academy with Xie Yanning. He was used to seeing corpses, but he had never seen a living person seeking death in front of his eyes.
After Xie Yanning finished training, seeing the dusk was dark, she planned to go to bed immediately, but Lu Huaizhen was nowhere to be seen.
He waited for half an hour, but still did not see Lu Huaizhen, but he knew that Lu Huaizhen would not act privately, and something must have happened to delay his return, so he couldn't help but left the room and stood in the inn At the door, waiting for Lu Huaizhen to come back.
Lu Huaizhen looked rather embarrassed, with disheveled hair and half-wet clothes.
He wanted to ask Lu Huaizhen what happened, but before he could open his lips, Lu Huaizhen knelt on the ground.
Noticing that Lu Huaizhen's voice was choking slightly, he sighed and continued: "Unexpectedly, did that woman commit suicide by jumping into the river?"
Lu Huaizhen nodded, his current mood was extremely complicated, on the one hand, he was ecstatic because Xie Yanning was waiting for him outside the inn, on the other hand, he was downcast because of the loss of a fresh life.
Under the interweaving of the two, he boldly said: "Master, can you give this disciple a hug?"
After all, he felt that he had fallen into a demon, how could he have the right to let Xie Yanning hug him?
He lowered his eyes and kowtowed heavily: "Master, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have such unreasonable thoughts."
He wanted to continue to kowtow, when suddenly a hand pressed his left shoulder.
The hand then snaked from his left shoulder to his chin, and raised his chin again.
The sound of kowtowing just now in the quiet night can be described as piercing clouds and cracking stones, Lu Huaizhen's forehead that was forced to be exposed to Xie Yanning's eyes really had a big gash, and blood gushed out.
Xie Yanning withdrew his hand, and was about to lift Lu Huaizhen up from the ground, but saw that after he withdrew his hand, Lu Huaizhen lowered his head again, and the back of his neck suddenly revealed a trace of loneliness.
He paused for a moment before lifting Lu Huaizhen up from the ground.
"Master." Lu Huaizhen didn't dare to look at Xie Yanning at all, the back of her neck was still bent.
Xie Yanning glanced at the radiating drops of blood lying on her feet, then softened her voice and said, "If you raise your head, this deity will do what you wish."
Lu Huaizhen raised her head, but her eyes were still lowered.
Xie Yanning no longer forced Lu Huaizhen, but reached out and hugged Lu Huaizhen into his arms: "Huaizhen, even if that woman really drowned, it was not your fault. I know that you have tried your best."
Xie Yanning's breath was close to her ears, and Lu Huaizhen's heart throbbed violently, but this was wrong.
Xie Yanning, who is sober, is willing to condescend to hug him, which is already a blessing from heaven, how can he covet him again because of this?
At this moment, Xie Yanning raised his hand and patted him on the back lightly. Although he was separated by layers of clothing, skin, flesh, and bone, he suddenly felt that Xie Yanning could touch him without barriers. His hot heart throbbed even more in an instant.
He didn't dare to hug Xie Yanning back, so he focused his attention, and then peeped at Xie Yanning's breath tremblingly, and reported the whole story to Xie Yanning, and then said: "The disciple should be able to save her life. Too incompetent."
After hearing this, Xie Yanning became suspicious. Lu Huaizhen was not an ordinary person. The woman was about to fall into the water, and she went into the water to save her. Why not only could she not save her, but she couldn't even see the woman's clothes?
He let go of Lu Huaizhen, and walked straight to the river not far away.
Lu Huaizhen stared at Xie Yanning's back in a daze, and then at his boldly outstretched arms, terrified: Master really thinks I'm too incompetent?
After careful calculation, he has been really unfavorable recently: first, he couldn't find the "Lovesickness Bone"; It was the woman just now.
One pile after another proved that he is actually a waste.
A trash like him can't do anything but wishful thinking.
Xie Yanning shouldn't have saved him back then, why did Xie Yanning save him out of kindness?
He was full of belittling himself, but the corner of his eyes told him that Xie Yanning had fallen into the water.
"Master!" He cried out and flew into the water.
Xie Yanning was familiar with the nature of water during his lifetime, and the water quality of this body is not bad either. Because of the obstacles of the river, he couldn't hear Lu Huaizhen's almost desperate cry at all.
The water is dark, and the bottom of the river is full of eddies. Its turbulence reaches the vast ocean, and it can indeed wash away people in an instant. Moreover, this river is only a branch water vein, which is connected with the entire Jiangnan Road water system and reaches the East China Sea.
That woman was unlucky and was washed away too quickly, so Lu Huaizhen couldn't save her, and it wasn't Lu Huaizhen's fault in the final analysis.
With a conclusion, he went ashore and looked around, but Lu Huaizhen was nowhere to be seen.
"Huaizhen!" He took a closer look, only to find that there was Lu Huaizhen's daily handkerchief on the river.
Could it be that Lu Huaizhen went into the water again to save him?
Presumably the sound was not strong enough to break through the river, so he changed it to sound transmission: Huaizhen, the deity is already on the shore, come up now.
It was already late at night, and the river was even darker. Lu Huaizhen had difficulty seeing things, and most of them relied on groping with his hands.
His left foot suddenly froze, probably because it was entangled by the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, right?
He stretched out his hand to find out what aquatic plants were there, and it was a soft and slippery water snake.
He was about to push the water snake away, but was bitten by the water snake. Fortunately, the water snake was not poisonous.
After the water snake bit him, it disappeared. I wonder if there are other living creatures in the river?
At this moment, Xie Yanning's voice transmission suddenly fell into his ears, and he was so happy that he immediately replied: "The disciple will go up now."
He was in the river, he shouldn't have opened his mouth to speak, so he choked on a big mouthful of water.
But he didn't feel uncomfortable, and immediately sent a voice message: Master, this disciple will go up now.
He went to the bank, and there was Xie Yanning standing on the bank of the river. When Xie Yanning's eyes swept over him, the panic deeply embedded in his heart suddenly grew wildly. He clearly went into the water for Xie Yanning. Xie Yanning had already landed, but he was injured. , he was extremely incompetent and humiliated his master.
Xie Yanning saw Lu Huaizhen bowed her head and said nothing
