Congrats to the boss and his brother
Chapter 81
Chi Jingyao's feet were covered for half an hour, and then he didn't feel any discomfort, so he gave up.
But Pei Ye was very careful, and only helped him put on his socks, but did not let him put on his shoes, because he was afraid that he would not be able to walk around with his shoes on.
In a blink of an eye, it was lunch time, and everyone who was busy in the fields came back.
Huber had already made lunch, and Ruan Baozi and Yang Yue also went over to help for a while.
According to the rules in Zhuangzi, when everyone eats, regardless of their status, they are all together.
They have a dining room, big and bright, with room for several tables.On weekdays, after everyone is busy, sit around the table and eat together, which is quite warm and lively.
Chi Jingyao originally wanted to have dinner with Pei Ye, but Pei Ye was worried that the boy had just injured his foot, so he sent him back to the room first, and went to the dining room to fill some meals and take them back.
"Actually, it's okay for me to eat in the past." Chi Jingyao sat on the edge of the low couch, watching Pei Ye arrange the food and bowls and chopsticks one by one.
"The dining room uses benches, which are too short, making it uncomfortable for you to sit on." Pei Ye said, "When you get there, you have no place to rest your feet."
As he spoke, Pei Ye took a wet cloth towel and wiped Chi Jingyao's hands, then sat down opposite the boy.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow, I'll make it for you." Pei Ye said while stirring the porridge in his hand with a spoon.
Chi Jingyao said with surprise when he heard the words: "Well, I haven't eaten the meal made by my second brother for a long time."
Although Hu Bo's cooking skills are not bad, Chi Jingyao is still looking forward to trying Pei Ye's cooking.
After all, Chi Jingyao seldom ate his meals since the two of them parted ways a few years ago.
Especially when they were in Qizhou camp, in order to avoid suspicion, the two seldom interacted with each other on weekdays, let alone having dinner together.The only time they got closer was when the epidemic broke out, but at that time the camp was in such a hurry that they couldn't care less about other things.
"Come on." After warming the porridge in his hand, Pei Ye scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Chi Jingyao's mouth.
Chi Jingyao looked at the porridge spoon he handed over, and was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Second Brother, I sprained my foot, not twisted my hand."
Pei Ye was startled, and then he realized that he put the porridge bowl in front of the boy awkwardly.
Seeing him like this, Chi Jingyao couldn't help laughing, thinking that his second brother is very careful, he just sprained his foot, and the other party actually took the posture of taking care of a seriously ill patient.
But then again, Chi Jingyao actually liked being taken care of by Pei Ye.
On weekdays, the person who gets along with him the most is Ruan Baozi. Deep in his heart, he has always regarded Ruan Baozi as a younger brother, so when the two get along, Chi Jingyao will unconsciously take care of each other, and rarely in front of each other. Show a side that needs to be cared for.
But it's different in front of Pei Ye, he can play around, play tricks, and act like a baby without any scruple. Pei Ye has been entangled by him, at most? Just muttering a few words impatiently, never? Will never really alienate him, nor? Will be angry with him?
Chi Jingyao has always cherished this feeling of being cared for and protected.
So what Yang Yue said was actually not completely wrong. He was indeed different in front of Pei Ye and in front of other people.
During those years in the southern border, although he followed his senior brother, he never showed weakness or needed the other's care along the way, acting independent and strong.But it was different when he was in front of Pei Ye. Even if he had a porridge, he could let Pei Ye cool him down with peace of mind.
This distinction stems from an instinct the teenager has developed over the years, and sometimes he doesn't even notice it himself.
"Second brother, how many days will you stay this time before going back?" Chi Jingyao asked while drinking porridge.
Pei Ye silently helped him pick up vegetables and put them in a bowl, and said, "Leave when your feet are better."
"Really?" Chi Jingyao said: "Then it may take ten to half a month for my feet to heal."
"En." Pei Ye responded lightly, with no special expression on his face.
This time he came to Zhuangzi, he also greeted Yang Cheng.The affairs in Zhuangzi are considered a major event for Qi Zhouying, so it doesn't matter if he stays here for a few more days.What's more, on a whim, Yang Cheng foolishly gave him the title of "General Yazhuang". If he doesn't come for a long time? If he stays for a while, I'm sorry? Yang Cheng.
Chi Jingyao didn't expect him to agree so easily, and secretly said that he had known it for a month.
But after thinking about it, it seems like? Impossible, Pei Ye has to go back to the army, and he can't live here with him all the time.
"You didn't really hurt your foot on purpose, did you?" Pei Ye asked belatedly.
"Of course not!" Chi Jingyao hurriedly said, "Am I that naive?"
Pei Ye raised his eyes and stared at him with a look of scrutiny.
Pei Ye is really not sure whether Chi Jingyao is so naive.
After all, the boy has been very good at playing tricks since he was a child, and Pei Ye went to avoid him deliberately, which probably made people unhappy.If he really did something excessive in order to keep Pei Ye, Pei Ye felt that it was not difficult to understand.
Seeing Pei Ye's expression, Chi Jingyao simply smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, just take it for granted."
"You really..." Pei Ye originally wanted to say a few words to him, but seeing his smile, it was obvious that he was still immersed in the previous joy.
His heart softened, and the words of reproach? Some couldn't say it.
In fact, he likes the other party to rely on him so much in his heart. It has been in the past, and it is still the case now.Although he knew that he shouldn't let Chi Jingyao get too close to him, after all, his thoughts were different from before.
But when he really faced Chi Jingyao, he couldn't say anything serious at all.
In the end, Pei Ye had no choice but to tell himself secretly, now that the boy's foot is still hurt, why not pamper him again.
Even if he wanted to keep his distance, at least he had to wait until someone recovered from his injury.
What if he insisted on leaving, delaying the other party's injury, and staying? What kind of root cause would be troublesome.
After lunch, Chi Jingyao stayed in the house anxiously, so he said he wanted to go to the fields.
Naturally, Pei Ye would follow him in everything, so he helped him put on his outer robe? He had to go out behind his back.
"Wait a minute." Chi Jingyao pointed to the cabinet on the side, and said to Pei Ye: "The small porcelain pot on the top is sunscreen ointment, second brother, take it here and let's apply some before going out."
This is the most sun-drenched time of the day. If you don't use sunscreen, you will get tanned within a few days.
Chi Jingyao is not afraid of the dark, but he has never been exposed to the sun, and he is afraid of getting sunburned.
As a warrior, Pei Ye would naturally not be willing to erase these things.
But after Chi Jingyao dipped the ointment and wiped himself, he pulled Pei Ye to wipe it for him, holding Pei Ye's face with both hands and rubbing it.
Pei Ye was embarrassed and awkward, his face was already red after being tortured by the boy.
"It's over, second brother, your face is so red, you are not allergic to this ointment, are you?" Chi Jingyao said in surprise.
"It's okay." Pei Ye knew why his face was red, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he carried him on his back and walked out of the room.
The boss is very sensible, so he knew that Chi Jingyao was injured? He didn't pester him, and followed the two of them obediently.
Along the way, Chi Jingyao wondered whether Pei Ye was allergic. Later, Pei Ye was so annoyed by him that he reasoned that it was because he rubbed too hard that he became red. Seeing that he had no other symptoms, Chi Jingyao went ? Reluctantly believe this reason.
He lay on Pei Ye's back, and to verify the strength of his hands, he rubbed Pei Ye's neck a few times.Pei Ye was upset by him, and warned in a deep voice: "If you rub it again, throw you down?"
After hearing the words, Chi Jingyao finally became a lot more honest, and put his arm around Pei Ye's neck, not daring to continue messing around.
When the two of them arrived in the field, everyone was already busy.
Even Pei Qing and Pei Ye's other soldiers helped Yao Nong to work in the fields.
When everyone saw Pei Ye coming with Chi Jingyao on his back, they couldn't help laughing when they remembered the scene in the morning.
"The general and Dr. Chi are really close." One of Pei Ye's personal soldiers whispered.
"That's natural. If I had a younger brother who is as likable as Dr. Chi, I would love him so much." Another person said.
These soldiers are all with Pei Qing? How many of them are from the same village or nearby villages? Know that Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao are brothers a long time ago.That's why Pei Ye took them with him on purpose, because he didn't need to deliberately avoid them.
Pei Ye sat down on a field ridge with Chi Jingyao on his back, but did not bring him down to the field.
Sitting beside Pei Ye, Chi Jingyao looked at the endless medicine fields in the distance and said, "I used to be special? I yearn for such a life, with a large piece of land, planting something, and raising a dog."
He thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to the big guy next to him, touched it, and said, "Now that there's a big guy, it's fine if you don't have a dog."
Hearing this, Pei Ye turned his head to look at the young man, and asked, "From? Before...Which one from? Before?"
Chi Jingyao was taken aback. He was talking about the past when he lived in modern society.In fact, his wish is not too much? Sincerely, just like many people who live in the city, he always has the dream of farming.If he is really given a piece of land, he may not be able to get it right, but this does not prevent him from secretly yearning for it in his heart.
"It was... when I was very young." Chi Jingyao said vaguely.
"You... grew up in a border town, right?" Pei Ye asked him.
Chi Jingyao nodded without denying it.
When he came here through the book, Chi Jingyao in the original book was indeed from the border town.It's just that it was "too small" at the time, and the original place where Chi Jingyao lived was not in the city, but in an unknown village, so Chi Jingyao couldn't remember the specific details.
When Ruan Baozi and Ruan Baozi first arrived in the border town, Chi Jingyao discussed this issue with him, but Ruan Baozi didn't remember either.
After all, at that time? Their village was massacred by bandits. The scene must have been bloody and terrifying. After the two seven-year-old children were greatly frightened, it was difficult to keep their memories clear, and they might even intentionally protect themselves out of some kind of self-protection. Some details are forgotten.
"Have you ever thought about going back and taking a look?" Pei Ye asked.
"I can't remember where it is." Chi Jingyao said, "Anyways? I don't have any relatives."
Pei Ye thought for a while, and said, "I asked someone about it in the first year I came to Border Town."
Chi Jingyao turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, then Wen Peiye said again: "I have asked people about the villages that were looted by the bandits that year, and I finally found the place where you lived in the past. But It is now a deserted village, but after the accident, the survivors were sent away and resettled."
According to what Pei Ye heard at the time, those people in the village who were killed by the bandits were finally buried together.Because there were no relatives to arrange it, only a monument was erected together. At that time, Pei Ye went there to offer incense for Chi Jingyao.
Chi Jingyao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Pei Ye to be so intentional.
Moreover, the other party inquired about the result in the first year he came to Border Town, but he didn't mention it to him until he was an adult, lest he would feel sad about it when he was young.
"Do you want to go back and take a look?" Pei Ye asked.
"Forget it." Chi Jingyao said: "The relatives are gone. As for the relatives of the other... If someone had protected them back then, Baozi and I wouldn't have been abducted. I think they all suffered, Or they don't have any friendship with us."
When he discussed this matter with Ruan Baozi, Ruan Baozi also thought so.
So they didn't even bother to inquire, so as not to cause sadness.
"In the future, when Baozi and I get married, we will set up a small ancestral hall for them, and worship them every year and festival." Chi Jingyao said.
Because Chi Jingyao inherited the memory of the original owner, he has more or less affection for the original parents.
It's just that nearly ten years have passed, and he thinks about this more with emotion and regret.
Seeing the young man sighed slightly, Pei Ye thought he was sad, so he stretched out his hand to comfort the young man on his back.
Chi Jingyao leaned on his shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't you feel sorry for me. I have a family now, and my parents will be happy for me. Now...you and Mother, father, brother, sister-in-law, Pei Ning, master, and boss...you are all my family."
"En." Pei Ye responded in a low voice, and embraced him in his arms.
"Second brother?" Chi Jingyao looked up at him slightly, and asked, "Have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to have in the future?"
Pei Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "No."
"Then I'll make the decision for you. In the future, when we return to Qizhou, you will stay with me in Zhuangzi for a while, and then go home for a while." Chi Jingyao said: "But Pei Ning has grown up, and we will live at home." No more? We can’t let him sleep with us, it’s too crowded. If it’s not possible, let’s ask the village chief to find us a piece of land in the village and build another house.”
Pei Ye didn't know what he thought of, and his face was a little disappointed.
"Oh, I almost forgot, when you become a general, the government will buy you a house in the future, just like General Yang and his family." Chi Jingyao thought for a while and said, "Then can I live in your general's mansion later? "
Pei Ye smiled wryly, "Are you going to live with me when you grow up?"
"I don't want to live apart from you, I will miss you." Chi Jingyao said: "But if you go to the capital to be an official, it will be difficult... that place? Not everyone can go there, either? No Know if they let you bring your family with you."
Naturally, Pei Ye knew that what people said meant nothing special, and he felt very sad in his heart.
He said, "You've grown up now, and when you return to Qizhou, you'll get married like your elder brother. At that time, you can't bring your little one to live with me, right?"
"Hey." Chi Jingyao sighed. He never thought about getting married before. He felt a little inexplicably lost when Pei Ye mentioned it like this.
He himself can't tell the reason for this emotion, but he imagines that Pei Ye and himself will start their own families in the future, and the two brothers must not be able to do it anymore. If they are as close as they are now, then Pei Ye will have his own Wife and children? To take care of.
"When you're married, I'll walk around and visit various parts of Dayu, and also visit the southern region where you stayed," Pei Ye said.
"Can't you take me with you? Can you go?" Chi Jingyao asked, "I was with senior brother last time? I didn't have a good tour of the mountains and rivers."
Pei Ye looked at the young man and asked, "Come with me? Are you married?"
"I..." Chi Jingyao thought for a while, and said, "I'm still young? What about... Let's go out to play first, and then we can talk when we come back?"
"If..." Pei Ye looked at him, and said in a mysterious way: "If you go out for five, ten, or even ten or twenty? Years, are you willing to follow me?"
"So long?" Chi Jingyao thought for a while and said, "Then we have to come back and see our parents and elder brother, right?"
Seeing that he did not refuse, Pei Ye couldn't help but feel a little happy, but this joy was quickly suppressed by reason.
He couldn't? Allow himself to bind the other party in this way.
Even if he could trick Chi Jingyao into staying by his side, isn't this the result he wanted?
It's not fair to Chi Jingyao...
The two sat on the edge of the field for a whole afternoon, and when dusk approached, Ruan Baozi and Yang Yue came out of the field together.
"I'm getting tired and falling apart." Yang Yue picked up the water bottle on the ground next to it and handed it to Ruan Baozi. After the other party finished drinking, he took a few sips for himself.
"It's still early, let's go to see the fish baskets by the river." Ruan Baozi said to Chi Jingyao.
They had nothing to do the past two days, and they set up a fish basket by the river behind Zhuangzi, trying to see if they could catch fish.
"Second brother, shall we go too?" Chi Jingyao said.
Naturally, Pei Ye would not reject him, so he carried him on his back? Followed Ruan Baozi and the others.
Yang Yue seldom had the opportunity to experience this kind of life, so he went to the river to watch Ruan Baozi make fish baskets.
Their fishing basket was set up on a small tributary by the river beach, but because the flow of that branch was too small, they failed to catch a single fish in the past two days.
"Why isn't there any?" Ruan Baozi asked disappointedly.
"I see a lot of fish in this river!" Yang Yue walked to the edge of the river and looked in, and said, "Look, there are two of them on the side of the stone, and they are quite big." The water in this river beach is not deep , Also? Very clear, standing on the shore can see the fish inside.
Ruan Baozi leaned over to take a look, and said, "Can I see you? I can't catch it."
"Doctor Chi...doesn't Doctor Chi know how to shoot flying knives?" Yang Yue hurriedly said, "Shoot two fish for us."
Chi Jingyao waved his hand and said, "It's not easy to shoot fish, I'm not that good."
"You try it." Yang Yue urged.
"Let my second brother come." Chi Jingyao said to Pei Ye.
Pei Ye, who was on the side, had no choice but to take out his throwing knife when he heard the words, and walked to the river to take a look.
He gestured with the throwing knife for a while, and then suddenly threw the throwing knife out.
Everyone looked curiously, but saw that the throwing knife could not be more deflected, and it directly stuck into the mud.
Chi Jingyao sat aside and hugged the boss in his arms, with a smile on his face when he saw this, but he didn't see any disappointment.
"There aren't even any fish over there, what are you shooting for? It's too far? It's too powerful..."
Before Yang Yue could finish his sentence, Pei Ye took another throwing knife and directly nailed the big fish that Yang Yue pointed to just now to the bottom of the water.
"Wow!!!" Yang Yue exclaimed immediately: "Doctor Chi, your second brother is too good!!"
Chi Jingyao and You Rongyan said: "My second brother's first cut was to test the depth of the water, just this time? That's the real shot."
"It's amazing, it's amazing." Yang Yue took off his shoes, walked into the water and picked up the fish and the other throwing knife that was used to test the water.
Pei Ye held the throwing knife and waited for a while, and when he saw the timing, he stabbed two more.
"Awesome!" Yang Yue went to pick up the fish again, and said with a smile: "These three are not small, enough to make a dish."
Although there are many of them, this fish is just an extra meal. If you share one share, each table should be able to make up a plate.
When everyone was planning to go back, Yang Yue suddenly found another river clam on the river beach.
"I picked up a clam!" Yang Yue said excitedly.
Ruan Baozi smiled and said, "There are a lot of them in this river, and no one usually picks them up."
"Can I take some back?" Yang Yue asked.
Ruan Baozi sighed, handed him the fish basket, and said, "If you want to pick it up, pick it up."
Yang Yue picked up river clams for the first time, and was a little excited. He took the fish basket and started wandering around the river beach.After he picked up a few pieces, he asked the big brother to pick them up with him. Unexpectedly, the big brother had better eyesight than him and picked them up faster than him.
Ruan Baozi found a vine and strung the three fish together through the gills so that he could carry it when he went back.
"Second brother, why are you still using the flying knife from before?" Chi Jingyao asked Pei Ye.
Pei Ye put the knife away, and said flatly, "Hand in hand."
"Do you not like the two I gave you?" Chi Jingyao asked.
"No." Pei Ye said as he took out the other two throwing knives, "I have them all with me."
Yang Yue, who was picking clams on the other side, had good ears and shouted to Chi Jingyao: "General Pei was reluctant to give you the ones, so he kept using his two broken ones. He didn't want to take you as a gift." with a knife to kill."
"Really?" Chi Jingyao asked Pei Ye.
Pei Ye was a little embarrassed by Yang Yue's puncture, so he just gave an understatement "um".
"What's there to be reluctant about? We don't need money now. We'll get two if we wear it out later." Chi Jingyao said.
Pei Ye caressed the flying knife in his hand, and asked Chi Jingyao, "I forgot to ask you, why is the word 'ya' engraved on this flying knife?"
Chi Jingyao: ...
"This is not 'Ya', this is..." Chi Jingyao thought for a while, then whispered to Pei Ye: "This is your name, Ye, an abbreviation of a foreign language."
"Really?" Pei Ye rubbed his thumb on the Y engraved on the flying knife for a moment, and asked, "Then how do you write your name in this foreign language?"
Chi Jingyao smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Coincidentally, my name is also written like that, Yao."
"Is your name the same as mine?" Pei Ye asked.
"You can put it that way." Chi Jingyao said.
Hearing this, Pei Ye stared at that Y for a while, and then carefully put away the flying knife.
Yang Yue tossed in the river for a while, and picked up a small half-basket of river clams.
It was getting dark now, and he was dragged away by Ruan Baozi.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was planning to go back, it suddenly started to rain.
Although they were not too far away from Zhuangzi, they would be drenched in water if they walked back like this.
What's more, Pei Ye is still carrying Chi Jingyao on his back. By then? The rain will first drench Chi Jingyao.
"Is there a place to hide first?" Pei Ye asked.
"Second brother, go over there, there is a wooden house to shelter from the rain." Chi Jingyao pointed in one direction and said, "Boss, lead the way."
Hearing this, the boss quickly walked into the dense forest, and everyone hurriedly followed behind it. After not walking far, he saw a wooden house.
This wooden house is not too big, and it is quite secretive. It would be really hard to find if there is no boss leading the way.
As soon as everyone entered the wooden house, the rain outside started to intensify.
"We didn't find this place before, but the boss did." Chi Jingyao said.
I don't know who built this wooden house. It seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time, and it seems to be deserted.
Fortunately, there are a few stone platforms inside, so everyone can sit for a while.
Yang Yue and Ruan Baozi sat on the stone in the corner with the boss in their arms.
Pei Ye was afraid that Chi Jingyao would feel uncomfortable sitting, so he sat on the rock by himself and let Chi Jingyao sit on his lap.
Chi Jingyao was used to it a long time ago, sitting on Pei Ye's neck with his arms around him, he didn't feel awkward at all.
Everyone thought that the rain would stop after a while, but they didn't expect the rain to fall more and more after waiting.
Yang Yue and Ruan Baozi had already fallen asleep cuddling up on the stone in the corner.
Chi Jingyao nestled in Pei Ye's arms, feeling a little sleepy.
Just because the rain outside is quite regular, it sounds like a sleep aid.
"Hiss..." Chi Jingyao shuddered and couldn't help rubbing his hands.
Although it is already May, but after the rain, it is still a bit chilly.
Seeing that he was cold, Pei Ye pulled him into his arms, held the boy's hand with one hand, and helped him to keep warm.
"You're not going back tonight, are you?" Chi Jingyao asked.
"No, the rain comes and goes quickly at the moment." Pei Ye said.
What's more, if they really didn't go back, Pei Qing would bring someone to look for them, so Pei Ye wasn't worried.
Besides, it’s not too cold now, so it’s okay to be trapped here? It doesn’t matter.
However, Pei Ye forgot that it doesn't matter to him, but there is a delicate little thing beside him.
The other party has always been afraid of the cold and hungry...
"Second brother, are you hungry?"
Sure enough, after a while, Chi Jingyao suddenly spoke.
Pei Ye looked at Chi Jingyao, intending to comfort him with a few words, but his eyes suddenly fell on the young man's delicate and beautiful face, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't finished reading the script.
In the storybook, the second son of the rough Orion took his husband and wife to hunt in the mountains. When he came back, he was trapped in a wooden house by a rain.
The man and wife in the story are just like Chi Jingyao at this time? They are pitifully cold, and let Orion's second child help him to keep warm...
Immediately afterwards, Pei Ye remembered the dream he had had countless times.
In the dream, Chi Jingyao was nestled in his arms like this, looking at him with such familiar eyes, then getting closer and closer to him, and finally...
"Second brother..." Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye and called him out.
It was dark now, but Pei Ye could still see his face clearly because he was so close.
The young man looked at him with dark and bright eyes, and was slowly approaching him.
Pei Ye's heart skipped a beat, he was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
Probably because of the rain outside, or because the sky was getting dark, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for a while.
Chi Jingyao's face got closer and closer, so close that he could almost feel the other's warm breath...
At that moment, Pei Ye lost almost all his sanity, and he even closed his eyes slightly like in a dream.
However, at the next moment, a boy's voice came from next to his ear: "Your eyelashes are so long, second brother."
The young man reached out and took off an eyelash under Pei Ye's eyes, and then said with emotion: "It's a pity that one fell off."
Pei Ye: ...
The author has something to say:
Pei Ye: Fairy tales are full of lies TT
But Pei Ye was very careful, and only helped him put on his socks, but did not let him put on his shoes, because he was afraid that he would not be able to walk around with his shoes on.
In a blink of an eye, it was lunch time, and everyone who was busy in the fields came back.
Huber had already made lunch, and Ruan Baozi and Yang Yue also went over to help for a while.
According to the rules in Zhuangzi, when everyone eats, regardless of their status, they are all together.
They have a dining room, big and bright, with room for several tables.On weekdays, after everyone is busy, sit around the table and eat together, which is quite warm and lively.
Chi Jingyao originally wanted to have dinner with Pei Ye, but Pei Ye was worried that the boy had just injured his foot, so he sent him back to the room first, and went to the dining room to fill some meals and take them back.
"Actually, it's okay for me to eat in the past." Chi Jingyao sat on the edge of the low couch, watching Pei Ye arrange the food and bowls and chopsticks one by one.
"The dining room uses benches, which are too short, making it uncomfortable for you to sit on." Pei Ye said, "When you get there, you have no place to rest your feet."
As he spoke, Pei Ye took a wet cloth towel and wiped Chi Jingyao's hands, then sat down opposite the boy.
"What do you want to eat tomorrow, I'll make it for you." Pei Ye said while stirring the porridge in his hand with a spoon.
Chi Jingyao said with surprise when he heard the words: "Well, I haven't eaten the meal made by my second brother for a long time."
Although Hu Bo's cooking skills are not bad, Chi Jingyao is still looking forward to trying Pei Ye's cooking.
After all, Chi Jingyao seldom ate his meals since the two of them parted ways a few years ago.
Especially when they were in Qizhou camp, in order to avoid suspicion, the two seldom interacted with each other on weekdays, let alone having dinner together.The only time they got closer was when the epidemic broke out, but at that time the camp was in such a hurry that they couldn't care less about other things.
"Come on." After warming the porridge in his hand, Pei Ye scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Chi Jingyao's mouth.
Chi Jingyao looked at the porridge spoon he handed over, and was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Second Brother, I sprained my foot, not twisted my hand."
Pei Ye was startled, and then he realized that he put the porridge bowl in front of the boy awkwardly.
Seeing him like this, Chi Jingyao couldn't help laughing, thinking that his second brother is very careful, he just sprained his foot, and the other party actually took the posture of taking care of a seriously ill patient.
But then again, Chi Jingyao actually liked being taken care of by Pei Ye.
On weekdays, the person who gets along with him the most is Ruan Baozi. Deep in his heart, he has always regarded Ruan Baozi as a younger brother, so when the two get along, Chi Jingyao will unconsciously take care of each other, and rarely in front of each other. Show a side that needs to be cared for.
But it's different in front of Pei Ye, he can play around, play tricks, and act like a baby without any scruple. Pei Ye has been entangled by him, at most? Just muttering a few words impatiently, never? Will never really alienate him, nor? Will be angry with him?
Chi Jingyao has always cherished this feeling of being cared for and protected.
So what Yang Yue said was actually not completely wrong. He was indeed different in front of Pei Ye and in front of other people.
During those years in the southern border, although he followed his senior brother, he never showed weakness or needed the other's care along the way, acting independent and strong.But it was different when he was in front of Pei Ye. Even if he had a porridge, he could let Pei Ye cool him down with peace of mind.
This distinction stems from an instinct the teenager has developed over the years, and sometimes he doesn't even notice it himself.
"Second brother, how many days will you stay this time before going back?" Chi Jingyao asked while drinking porridge.
Pei Ye silently helped him pick up vegetables and put them in a bowl, and said, "Leave when your feet are better."
"Really?" Chi Jingyao said: "Then it may take ten to half a month for my feet to heal."
"En." Pei Ye responded lightly, with no special expression on his face.
This time he came to Zhuangzi, he also greeted Yang Cheng.The affairs in Zhuangzi are considered a major event for Qi Zhouying, so it doesn't matter if he stays here for a few more days.What's more, on a whim, Yang Cheng foolishly gave him the title of "General Yazhuang". If he doesn't come for a long time? If he stays for a while, I'm sorry? Yang Cheng.
Chi Jingyao didn't expect him to agree so easily, and secretly said that he had known it for a month.
But after thinking about it, it seems like? Impossible, Pei Ye has to go back to the army, and he can't live here with him all the time.
"You didn't really hurt your foot on purpose, did you?" Pei Ye asked belatedly.
"Of course not!" Chi Jingyao hurriedly said, "Am I that naive?"
Pei Ye raised his eyes and stared at him with a look of scrutiny.
Pei Ye is really not sure whether Chi Jingyao is so naive.
After all, the boy has been very good at playing tricks since he was a child, and Pei Ye went to avoid him deliberately, which probably made people unhappy.If he really did something excessive in order to keep Pei Ye, Pei Ye felt that it was not difficult to understand.
Seeing Pei Ye's expression, Chi Jingyao simply smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, just take it for granted."
"You really..." Pei Ye originally wanted to say a few words to him, but seeing his smile, it was obvious that he was still immersed in the previous joy.
His heart softened, and the words of reproach? Some couldn't say it.
In fact, he likes the other party to rely on him so much in his heart. It has been in the past, and it is still the case now.Although he knew that he shouldn't let Chi Jingyao get too close to him, after all, his thoughts were different from before.
But when he really faced Chi Jingyao, he couldn't say anything serious at all.
In the end, Pei Ye had no choice but to tell himself secretly, now that the boy's foot is still hurt, why not pamper him again.
Even if he wanted to keep his distance, at least he had to wait until someone recovered from his injury.
What if he insisted on leaving, delaying the other party's injury, and staying? What kind of root cause would be troublesome.
After lunch, Chi Jingyao stayed in the house anxiously, so he said he wanted to go to the fields.
Naturally, Pei Ye would follow him in everything, so he helped him put on his outer robe? He had to go out behind his back.
"Wait a minute." Chi Jingyao pointed to the cabinet on the side, and said to Pei Ye: "The small porcelain pot on the top is sunscreen ointment, second brother, take it here and let's apply some before going out."
This is the most sun-drenched time of the day. If you don't use sunscreen, you will get tanned within a few days.
Chi Jingyao is not afraid of the dark, but he has never been exposed to the sun, and he is afraid of getting sunburned.
As a warrior, Pei Ye would naturally not be willing to erase these things.
But after Chi Jingyao dipped the ointment and wiped himself, he pulled Pei Ye to wipe it for him, holding Pei Ye's face with both hands and rubbing it.
Pei Ye was embarrassed and awkward, his face was already red after being tortured by the boy.
"It's over, second brother, your face is so red, you are not allergic to this ointment, are you?" Chi Jingyao said in surprise.
"It's okay." Pei Ye knew why his face was red, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he carried him on his back and walked out of the room.
The boss is very sensible, so he knew that Chi Jingyao was injured? He didn't pester him, and followed the two of them obediently.
Along the way, Chi Jingyao wondered whether Pei Ye was allergic. Later, Pei Ye was so annoyed by him that he reasoned that it was because he rubbed too hard that he became red. Seeing that he had no other symptoms, Chi Jingyao went ? Reluctantly believe this reason.
He lay on Pei Ye's back, and to verify the strength of his hands, he rubbed Pei Ye's neck a few times.Pei Ye was upset by him, and warned in a deep voice: "If you rub it again, throw you down?"
After hearing the words, Chi Jingyao finally became a lot more honest, and put his arm around Pei Ye's neck, not daring to continue messing around.
When the two of them arrived in the field, everyone was already busy.
Even Pei Qing and Pei Ye's other soldiers helped Yao Nong to work in the fields.
When everyone saw Pei Ye coming with Chi Jingyao on his back, they couldn't help laughing when they remembered the scene in the morning.
"The general and Dr. Chi are really close." One of Pei Ye's personal soldiers whispered.
"That's natural. If I had a younger brother who is as likable as Dr. Chi, I would love him so much." Another person said.
These soldiers are all with Pei Qing? How many of them are from the same village or nearby villages? Know that Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao are brothers a long time ago.That's why Pei Ye took them with him on purpose, because he didn't need to deliberately avoid them.
Pei Ye sat down on a field ridge with Chi Jingyao on his back, but did not bring him down to the field.
Sitting beside Pei Ye, Chi Jingyao looked at the endless medicine fields in the distance and said, "I used to be special? I yearn for such a life, with a large piece of land, planting something, and raising a dog."
He thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to the big guy next to him, touched it, and said, "Now that there's a big guy, it's fine if you don't have a dog."
Hearing this, Pei Ye turned his head to look at the young man, and asked, "From? Before...Which one from? Before?"
Chi Jingyao was taken aback. He was talking about the past when he lived in modern society.In fact, his wish is not too much? Sincerely, just like many people who live in the city, he always has the dream of farming.If he is really given a piece of land, he may not be able to get it right, but this does not prevent him from secretly yearning for it in his heart.
"It was... when I was very young." Chi Jingyao said vaguely.
"You... grew up in a border town, right?" Pei Ye asked him.
Chi Jingyao nodded without denying it.
When he came here through the book, Chi Jingyao in the original book was indeed from the border town.It's just that it was "too small" at the time, and the original place where Chi Jingyao lived was not in the city, but in an unknown village, so Chi Jingyao couldn't remember the specific details.
When Ruan Baozi and Ruan Baozi first arrived in the border town, Chi Jingyao discussed this issue with him, but Ruan Baozi didn't remember either.
After all, at that time? Their village was massacred by bandits. The scene must have been bloody and terrifying. After the two seven-year-old children were greatly frightened, it was difficult to keep their memories clear, and they might even intentionally protect themselves out of some kind of self-protection. Some details are forgotten.
"Have you ever thought about going back and taking a look?" Pei Ye asked.
"I can't remember where it is." Chi Jingyao said, "Anyways? I don't have any relatives."
Pei Ye thought for a while, and said, "I asked someone about it in the first year I came to Border Town."
Chi Jingyao turned his head to look at him when he heard the words, then Wen Peiye said again: "I have asked people about the villages that were looted by the bandits that year, and I finally found the place where you lived in the past. But It is now a deserted village, but after the accident, the survivors were sent away and resettled."
According to what Pei Ye heard at the time, those people in the village who were killed by the bandits were finally buried together.Because there were no relatives to arrange it, only a monument was erected together. At that time, Pei Ye went there to offer incense for Chi Jingyao.
Chi Jingyao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Pei Ye to be so intentional.
Moreover, the other party inquired about the result in the first year he came to Border Town, but he didn't mention it to him until he was an adult, lest he would feel sad about it when he was young.
"Do you want to go back and take a look?" Pei Ye asked.
"Forget it." Chi Jingyao said: "The relatives are gone. As for the relatives of the other... If someone had protected them back then, Baozi and I wouldn't have been abducted. I think they all suffered, Or they don't have any friendship with us."
When he discussed this matter with Ruan Baozi, Ruan Baozi also thought so.
So they didn't even bother to inquire, so as not to cause sadness.
"In the future, when Baozi and I get married, we will set up a small ancestral hall for them, and worship them every year and festival." Chi Jingyao said.
Because Chi Jingyao inherited the memory of the original owner, he has more or less affection for the original parents.
It's just that nearly ten years have passed, and he thinks about this more with emotion and regret.
Seeing the young man sighed slightly, Pei Ye thought he was sad, so he stretched out his hand to comfort the young man on his back.
Chi Jingyao leaned on his shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't you feel sorry for me. I have a family now, and my parents will be happy for me. Now...you and Mother, father, brother, sister-in-law, Pei Ning, master, and boss...you are all my family."
"En." Pei Ye responded in a low voice, and embraced him in his arms.
"Second brother?" Chi Jingyao looked up at him slightly, and asked, "Have you ever thought about what kind of life you want to have in the future?"
Pei Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "No."
"Then I'll make the decision for you. In the future, when we return to Qizhou, you will stay with me in Zhuangzi for a while, and then go home for a while." Chi Jingyao said: "But Pei Ning has grown up, and we will live at home." No more? We can’t let him sleep with us, it’s too crowded. If it’s not possible, let’s ask the village chief to find us a piece of land in the village and build another house.”
Pei Ye didn't know what he thought of, and his face was a little disappointed.
"Oh, I almost forgot, when you become a general, the government will buy you a house in the future, just like General Yang and his family." Chi Jingyao thought for a while and said, "Then can I live in your general's mansion later? "
Pei Ye smiled wryly, "Are you going to live with me when you grow up?"
"I don't want to live apart from you, I will miss you." Chi Jingyao said: "But if you go to the capital to be an official, it will be difficult... that place? Not everyone can go there, either? No Know if they let you bring your family with you."
Naturally, Pei Ye knew that what people said meant nothing special, and he felt very sad in his heart.
He said, "You've grown up now, and when you return to Qizhou, you'll get married like your elder brother. At that time, you can't bring your little one to live with me, right?"
"Hey." Chi Jingyao sighed. He never thought about getting married before. He felt a little inexplicably lost when Pei Ye mentioned it like this.
He himself can't tell the reason for this emotion, but he imagines that Pei Ye and himself will start their own families in the future, and the two brothers must not be able to do it anymore. If they are as close as they are now, then Pei Ye will have his own Wife and children? To take care of.
"When you're married, I'll walk around and visit various parts of Dayu, and also visit the southern region where you stayed," Pei Ye said.
"Can't you take me with you? Can you go?" Chi Jingyao asked, "I was with senior brother last time? I didn't have a good tour of the mountains and rivers."
Pei Ye looked at the young man and asked, "Come with me? Are you married?"
"I..." Chi Jingyao thought for a while, and said, "I'm still young? What about... Let's go out to play first, and then we can talk when we come back?"
"If..." Pei Ye looked at him, and said in a mysterious way: "If you go out for five, ten, or even ten or twenty? Years, are you willing to follow me?"
"So long?" Chi Jingyao thought for a while and said, "Then we have to come back and see our parents and elder brother, right?"
Seeing that he did not refuse, Pei Ye couldn't help but feel a little happy, but this joy was quickly suppressed by reason.
He couldn't? Allow himself to bind the other party in this way.
Even if he could trick Chi Jingyao into staying by his side, isn't this the result he wanted?
It's not fair to Chi Jingyao...
The two sat on the edge of the field for a whole afternoon, and when dusk approached, Ruan Baozi and Yang Yue came out of the field together.
"I'm getting tired and falling apart." Yang Yue picked up the water bottle on the ground next to it and handed it to Ruan Baozi. After the other party finished drinking, he took a few sips for himself.
"It's still early, let's go to see the fish baskets by the river." Ruan Baozi said to Chi Jingyao.
They had nothing to do the past two days, and they set up a fish basket by the river behind Zhuangzi, trying to see if they could catch fish.
"Second brother, shall we go too?" Chi Jingyao said.
Naturally, Pei Ye would not reject him, so he carried him on his back? Followed Ruan Baozi and the others.
Yang Yue seldom had the opportunity to experience this kind of life, so he went to the river to watch Ruan Baozi make fish baskets.
Their fishing basket was set up on a small tributary by the river beach, but because the flow of that branch was too small, they failed to catch a single fish in the past two days.
"Why isn't there any?" Ruan Baozi asked disappointedly.
"I see a lot of fish in this river!" Yang Yue walked to the edge of the river and looked in, and said, "Look, there are two of them on the side of the stone, and they are quite big." The water in this river beach is not deep , Also? Very clear, standing on the shore can see the fish inside.
Ruan Baozi leaned over to take a look, and said, "Can I see you? I can't catch it."
"Doctor Chi...doesn't Doctor Chi know how to shoot flying knives?" Yang Yue hurriedly said, "Shoot two fish for us."
Chi Jingyao waved his hand and said, "It's not easy to shoot fish, I'm not that good."
"You try it." Yang Yue urged.
"Let my second brother come." Chi Jingyao said to Pei Ye.
Pei Ye, who was on the side, had no choice but to take out his throwing knife when he heard the words, and walked to the river to take a look.
He gestured with the throwing knife for a while, and then suddenly threw the throwing knife out.
Everyone looked curiously, but saw that the throwing knife could not be more deflected, and it directly stuck into the mud.
Chi Jingyao sat aside and hugged the boss in his arms, with a smile on his face when he saw this, but he didn't see any disappointment.
"There aren't even any fish over there, what are you shooting for? It's too far? It's too powerful..."
Before Yang Yue could finish his sentence, Pei Ye took another throwing knife and directly nailed the big fish that Yang Yue pointed to just now to the bottom of the water.
"Wow!!!" Yang Yue exclaimed immediately: "Doctor Chi, your second brother is too good!!"
Chi Jingyao and You Rongyan said: "My second brother's first cut was to test the depth of the water, just this time? That's the real shot."
"It's amazing, it's amazing." Yang Yue took off his shoes, walked into the water and picked up the fish and the other throwing knife that was used to test the water.
Pei Ye held the throwing knife and waited for a while, and when he saw the timing, he stabbed two more.
"Awesome!" Yang Yue went to pick up the fish again, and said with a smile: "These three are not small, enough to make a dish."
Although there are many of them, this fish is just an extra meal. If you share one share, each table should be able to make up a plate.
When everyone was planning to go back, Yang Yue suddenly found another river clam on the river beach.
"I picked up a clam!" Yang Yue said excitedly.
Ruan Baozi smiled and said, "There are a lot of them in this river, and no one usually picks them up."
"Can I take some back?" Yang Yue asked.
Ruan Baozi sighed, handed him the fish basket, and said, "If you want to pick it up, pick it up."
Yang Yue picked up river clams for the first time, and was a little excited. He took the fish basket and started wandering around the river beach.After he picked up a few pieces, he asked the big brother to pick them up with him. Unexpectedly, the big brother had better eyesight than him and picked them up faster than him.
Ruan Baozi found a vine and strung the three fish together through the gills so that he could carry it when he went back.
"Second brother, why are you still using the flying knife from before?" Chi Jingyao asked Pei Ye.
Pei Ye put the knife away, and said flatly, "Hand in hand."
"Do you not like the two I gave you?" Chi Jingyao asked.
"No." Pei Ye said as he took out the other two throwing knives, "I have them all with me."
Yang Yue, who was picking clams on the other side, had good ears and shouted to Chi Jingyao: "General Pei was reluctant to give you the ones, so he kept using his two broken ones. He didn't want to take you as a gift." with a knife to kill."
"Really?" Chi Jingyao asked Pei Ye.
Pei Ye was a little embarrassed by Yang Yue's puncture, so he just gave an understatement "um".
"What's there to be reluctant about? We don't need money now. We'll get two if we wear it out later." Chi Jingyao said.
Pei Ye caressed the flying knife in his hand, and asked Chi Jingyao, "I forgot to ask you, why is the word 'ya' engraved on this flying knife?"
Chi Jingyao: ...
"This is not 'Ya', this is..." Chi Jingyao thought for a while, then whispered to Pei Ye: "This is your name, Ye, an abbreviation of a foreign language."
"Really?" Pei Ye rubbed his thumb on the Y engraved on the flying knife for a moment, and asked, "Then how do you write your name in this foreign language?"
Chi Jingyao smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Coincidentally, my name is also written like that, Yao."
"Is your name the same as mine?" Pei Ye asked.
"You can put it that way." Chi Jingyao said.
Hearing this, Pei Ye stared at that Y for a while, and then carefully put away the flying knife.
Yang Yue tossed in the river for a while, and picked up a small half-basket of river clams.
It was getting dark now, and he was dragged away by Ruan Baozi.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was planning to go back, it suddenly started to rain.
Although they were not too far away from Zhuangzi, they would be drenched in water if they walked back like this.
What's more, Pei Ye is still carrying Chi Jingyao on his back. By then? The rain will first drench Chi Jingyao.
"Is there a place to hide first?" Pei Ye asked.
"Second brother, go over there, there is a wooden house to shelter from the rain." Chi Jingyao pointed in one direction and said, "Boss, lead the way."
Hearing this, the boss quickly walked into the dense forest, and everyone hurriedly followed behind it. After not walking far, he saw a wooden house.
This wooden house is not too big, and it is quite secretive. It would be really hard to find if there is no boss leading the way.
As soon as everyone entered the wooden house, the rain outside started to intensify.
"We didn't find this place before, but the boss did." Chi Jingyao said.
I don't know who built this wooden house. It seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time, and it seems to be deserted.
Fortunately, there are a few stone platforms inside, so everyone can sit for a while.
Yang Yue and Ruan Baozi sat on the stone in the corner with the boss in their arms.
Pei Ye was afraid that Chi Jingyao would feel uncomfortable sitting, so he sat on the rock by himself and let Chi Jingyao sit on his lap.
Chi Jingyao was used to it a long time ago, sitting on Pei Ye's neck with his arms around him, he didn't feel awkward at all.
Everyone thought that the rain would stop after a while, but they didn't expect the rain to fall more and more after waiting.
Yang Yue and Ruan Baozi had already fallen asleep cuddling up on the stone in the corner.
Chi Jingyao nestled in Pei Ye's arms, feeling a little sleepy.
Just because the rain outside is quite regular, it sounds like a sleep aid.
"Hiss..." Chi Jingyao shuddered and couldn't help rubbing his hands.
Although it is already May, but after the rain, it is still a bit chilly.
Seeing that he was cold, Pei Ye pulled him into his arms, held the boy's hand with one hand, and helped him to keep warm.
"You're not going back tonight, are you?" Chi Jingyao asked.
"No, the rain comes and goes quickly at the moment." Pei Ye said.
What's more, if they really didn't go back, Pei Qing would bring someone to look for them, so Pei Ye wasn't worried.
Besides, it’s not too cold now, so it’s okay to be trapped here? It doesn’t matter.
However, Pei Ye forgot that it doesn't matter to him, but there is a delicate little thing beside him.
The other party has always been afraid of the cold and hungry...
"Second brother, are you hungry?"
Sure enough, after a while, Chi Jingyao suddenly spoke.
Pei Ye looked at Chi Jingyao, intending to comfort him with a few words, but his eyes suddenly fell on the young man's delicate and beautiful face, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't finished reading the script.
In the storybook, the second son of the rough Orion took his husband and wife to hunt in the mountains. When he came back, he was trapped in a wooden house by a rain.
The man and wife in the story are just like Chi Jingyao at this time? They are pitifully cold, and let Orion's second child help him to keep warm...
Immediately afterwards, Pei Ye remembered the dream he had had countless times.
In the dream, Chi Jingyao was nestled in his arms like this, looking at him with such familiar eyes, then getting closer and closer to him, and finally...
"Second brother..." Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye and called him out.
It was dark now, but Pei Ye could still see his face clearly because he was so close.
The young man looked at him with dark and bright eyes, and was slowly approaching him.
Pei Ye's heart skipped a beat, he was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.
Probably because of the rain outside, or because the sky was getting dark, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for a while.
Chi Jingyao's face got closer and closer, so close that he could almost feel the other's warm breath...
At that moment, Pei Ye lost almost all his sanity, and he even closed his eyes slightly like in a dream.
However, at the next moment, a boy's voice came from next to his ear: "Your eyelashes are so long, second brother."
The young man reached out and took off an eyelash under Pei Ye's eyes, and then said with emotion: "It's a pity that one fell off."
Pei Ye: ...
The author has something to say:
Pei Ye: Fairy tales are full of lies TT
